Family, friends talk about the man behind the candidacy JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER

T

he city’s incoming mayor, Reid HamerJackson — referred to by friends and family as “Reider” — is scrappy and packs a punch.

Perhaps it is fitting the next man to take the mayor’s chair at one time was an accomplished boxer.

Hamer-Jackson delivered a knockout political punch on Saturday, defeating three council incumbents and a fourth opponent via his tenacity and persistence in raising concerns about street problems in Kamloops, first

prompted by the impacts on his business on Victoria Street West.

However, as tough as he comes off, Hamer-Jackson is also described by those who know him as a family man and good neighbour who is always smiling and has a sense of compassion.

KTW spoke with friends, family and colleagues of Hamer-Jackson to get to know the city’s mayor-elect.

Tyrell Hamer-Jackson, 27, described his dad as a family man and his biggest role model. Hamer-Jackson has three adult children (Hailey, Ashley and Tyrell) and is married to wife Lori, who works at Arthur Hatton elementary.

The couple raised their family in Westmount, with many relatives also living in Kamloops. The family routine-

ly spent a month in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, during Christmas break.

Tyrell said he was never the biggest or tallest kid, but wanted to play sports, noting his dad built his confidence and supported him.

At age 15, Tyrrell wanted to play lacrosse for the senior A New Westminster Salmonbellies of the Western Lacrosse Association and Hamer-Jackson drove him twice a week, several hours each way, for practices.

Tyrell said his dad would wait at the rink and then drive him back to Kamloops, arriving home at 3 a.m. only to wake him up for school the next day.

It’s Hamer time in Kamloops Reid Hamer-Jackson was all smiles at his election night party at the Mount Paul Golf Course on Saturday night. Hamer-Jackson defeated four challengers, including three incumbent councillors, en route to a decisive victory in the mayoral race.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops mayor-elect Reid Hamer-Jackson said he wasn’t surprised he topped the polls on Saturday, though he suspects some may have doubted his ability to win the 2022 civic election.

“I never get in a race to lose,” Hamer-Jackson said, adding it felt good to see his name as the elected mayor. “I know you guys [local media] did, but I didn’t think I was going to lose. It’s like they say — you can’t fight city hall, so you might as well help run it.”

Hamer-Jackson spoke to KTW and other media outside the Mount Paul Golf Course restaurant, where he and a raucous group of supporters gathered for an after-party as election night results rolled in.

In his first foray into politics at any level, Hamer-Jackson led from the beginning and was elected by a 1,648-vote margin over incumbent councillor Dieter Dudy. Hamer-Jackson finished with 7,298 votes, followed by Dudy (5,650 votes, incumbent councillor Sadie Hunter (4,578 votes), incumbent councillor Arjun Singh (2,932 votes) and Ray Dhaliwal (2,629 votes).

Hamer-Jackson received 31.61 per cent of the vote. Overall, voter turnout was 29.01 per cent, with 23,218 of the city’s 80.025 eligible voters casting ballots.

Hamer-Jackson said he felt his focus on community safety in the community resonated with voters.

Among his top priorities for the coming four-year term are community safety, seeking better management of wet shelters in

town, addressing housing needs and improving transit service.

(Wet shelter is the term used for shelters that permit drug use).

The 63-year-old owner of Tru Auto Market downtown alleged shelters in the city “are not as full as we all think.” He added that he wants to have discussions with the city’s building and planning departments and the Canadian Home Builders-Central Interior on housing issues.

“There’s a list of things to do,” he said, also citing transit issues from a month he spent experimentally riding the bus in Kamloops.

Asked how he intends to make up for his lack of experience, Hamer-Jackson indicated he plans to lean on people with experience to show him the ropes.

“I’ve been dealing with people my whole life. I like listening to people. How does a veterinarian

do it?” Hamer-Jackson replied, seemingly referring to former Kamloops mayor Terry Lake, who was a veterinarian before venturing into politics.

Hamer-Jackson said his first step will be a meeting with city chief administrative officer David Trawin — who stopped in at Hamer-Jackson’s election night party to congratulate the mayorelect — noting he will also speak to other people.

Asked how he sees himself working alongside the new council — which includes three incumbent councillors, four firsttime councillors and a former city councillor — Hamer-Jackson said he viewed council as a team.

“I’m going to try my best to work together,” he said.

Asked how he feels about working with re-elected Coun.

Dale Bass, who criticized his shelter proposal for a dry shelter in

Rayleigh, equating it to a “concentration camp,” Hamer-Jackson said he feels she needs to listen more, noting his proposal had nothing to do with what she was describing.

“If she wants to listen, I’ll work with her,” he said.

Speaking to his supporters inside the restaurant, HamerJackson thanked his campaign team and donors and said it was important for him to have his election night party on the Tk’emlúps reserve, noting he wants to be inclusive of everyone and work with the band as mayor.

“The citizens of the community, that’s why I’m running,” HamerJackson said in his speech.

He went on to note he has been working for years on solutions to social issues, adding there needs to be a review of shelters and motels where the homeless are being lodged. He added there needs to be more help in getting people into recovery programs and criticized the practice of BC Housing placing wet shelters in the middle of Kamloops neighbourhoods.

On Tuesday, the current council met for the final time.

The new council, led by HamerJackson and including councillors Katie Neustaeter, Bill Sarai, Mike O’Reilly, Kelly Hall, Margot Middleton, Dale Bass, Stephen Karpuk and Nancy Bepple, will be sworn in on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Mayoral runners-up ponder their election night results JESSICA WALLACE AND MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTERS

Dieter Dudy’s campaign headquarters downtown was emptying out on Saturday night, with uneaten food and drinks left to be consumed.

Dudy said he was not surprised by the results of the election that saw him place second in the mayoral race, behind mayor-elect Reid Hamer-Jackson. Sadie Hunter was third, Arjun Singh placed fourth and Ray Dhaliwal finished fifth.

“Because I felt that sense of populism on the part of the people,” Dudy said. “They’re angry — and I wasn’t necessarily the answer.”

Dudy believes Hamer-Jackson tapped into an anger vote.

“Absolutely,” Dudy said. “Because that’s exactly what he was going for.

It was something that affected him personally and that’s exactly what he was striving for. My hope is that it goes beyond that for him and that he recognizes all the things that are necessary for the community. I’m sure that he’s going to give that a lot of thought moving forward.”

Dudy said he is disappointed.

“I honestly felt that I could offer

this community something from my eight years’ experience as a councillor and move them ahead with respect to vision and that,” he said.

“But, you know, it’s up to the public to decide what they want and they’ve done that and I need to accept that.”

Asked if he and fellow mayoral candidates Sadie Hunter and Arjun Singh — all three being incumbent councillors — split the vote and let Hamer-Jackson win, Dudy replied: “It’s hard to say. I mean, possibly.

Sadie was in the equation, too. Who knows? I just feel that it came down to the fact that he had a particular support behind him and I had whatever support I had. And it was strong.

It was strong. I came in second.”

Both Hunter and Dhaliwal told KTW they felt they ran good campaigns.

Hunter said she was proud of the campaign she ran, describing it as the most positively focused campaign of the five mayoral candidates.

Both Hunter and Dhaliwal said they felt Hamer-Jackson resonated with voters who were angry.

“Much of what was said was rhetoric and it was toxic and I’m concerned what’s going to happen

when he realizes he can’t do a lot of what he said,” Hunter said. “I’m worried for our community. I think people will be more frustrated and more angry.”

Dhaliwal said he felt voters were most concerned about homelessness and crime. He said he could not campaign on those issues to the extent Hamer-Jackson did as Dhaliwal noted he knows — from his one-year stint on council from 2017 to 2018 — that there are limitations on what the city can do. He said issues on criminal justice are outside the municipal purview.

“I couldn’t promise things that I knew I couldn’t do anything about, so my campaign focused on the taxpayers, the youth and the seniors, mostly,” Dhaliwal said.

He said he felt Hamer-Jackson overpromised on those areas, but noted the mayor-elect has four years to show Kamloops what he can do.

“He made a big point on it and people bought into it,” Dhaliwal said, adding he is interested in seeing the ideas Hamer-Jackson has in store, but doubts the success rate of the idea for a recovery centre locally.

From A6

Hunter said she felt Hamer-Jackson supporters bought into his quick-fix ideas, such as the drugrecovery centre proposal for rural Kamloops, which she said lacked details, such as how to ensure people access it. She said it’s not as feasible a project as he made it seem.

Hunter said she hopes Hamer-Jackson will drop the “toxic rhetoric” once on council and learns how to lead, arguing he will need to both lead the city council and represent Kamloops in a positive way.

“And the current approach is not going to get him there,” Hunter said.

Singh was wearing a Kamloops Blazers sweatshirt and hugging supporters at St. Andrews on the Square after the results. He said he thinks he and his team ran the best campaign they could.

“Obviously, it wasn’t as successful as I thought it would be,” he said.

Singh said he is interested in understanding what people are saying in the community through the results, adding he was surprised by Hamer-Jackson ‘s victory.

“I’m hoping that he will understand the importance of the job and the importance of representing all of the community and not just certain factions,” Singh said.

“He’s obviously tapped into a lot of frustrations.”

Singh said he believes some people in the community will feel “apprehensive” by the results, including staff at the ASK Wellness Society, the social agency that was targeted by Hamer-Jackson during the campaign, with the mayor-elect calling for an independent review shelters and motel rooms for the homeless operated by ASK Wellness and other social agencies.

Singh said he is happy with the council elected, which he described as balanced with experience from incumbents, all three of

whom were all re-elected.

Singh said he will continue to build the community, but he doesn’t know if he will run again for council.

Of the five mayoral candidates, only Dudy stopped in at Hamer-Jackson’s election night party at the Mount Paul Golf Course to congratulate him on his victory.

“He’s a very toxic individual, so I would rather not go out of my way to spend any time around him,” Hunter said.

Dhaliwal said he didn’t stop by as he was also celebrating his birthday as part of his election night party at the Coast Kamloops Hotel.

“We were still dancing and partying and karaoke,” Dhaliwal said.

Arjun Singh said he sent Hamer-Jackson a congratulatory text, but in retrospect feels he should have dropped in.

ANALYSIS FROM AN EX-MAYOR Former Kamloops mayor and former MLA Terry Lake campaigned for Dudy. He predicted the race was going to come down to HamerJackson or Dudy, but noted he thought voters would ultimately go to the centre.

“Typically, Kamloopsians do that,” he said. “In a way, they did. They voted for someone with a kind of populist right-of-centre view, but council has a mix, so there’s

a balance there. But the people are never wrong. That’s what I’ve learned over the years, so the new mayor and council are going to have to learn how this works and how they can make positive change for our city because we are at a crossroads, for sure. And it’s going to take a lot of work to get us on the right track.”

Asked if anything could have been done differently

by Dudy’s campaign, Lake replied: “No, you know, time for change is a very, very powerful political wind. And, if that wind is blowing, it’s very hard to go against it, so I think this was a timefor-change moment for Kamloops voters.”

Lake said Hamer-Jackson has two paths in front of him.

“He could try to do the things that he said he would do and I guarantee you, he will flame out and possibly have a bunch of good city staff leave because they can get jobs anywhere,” Lake said.

“Or he can learn how this all works and build relationships and work hard to try and understand how he can make a positive change. And I hope he will do the latter and I think he has good intentions. He’s a good man and I hope he takes the time and learns to do things in a way that brings people along, rather than blows things up.”

LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR NEXT MAYOR

I

t could be argued that Reid Hamer-Jackson’s mayoral campaign actually began in March 2020, when he and a group of Victoria Street West business owners decided to speak out on the Ground Zero of social disorder their area had become.

Furiously silent until then, Hamer-Jackson and a number of Victoria Street West business owners finally agreed to speak with KTW, as they had reached their limit on patience.

Gathering at Hamer-Jackson’s Tru Market Auto auto dealership, the future mayor was joined by Coun.

Bill Sarai and fellow business owners — including Andre Giasson of Andre’s Tire World, Nina Johal and Mindy Sandhu of Stereo Warehouse and Sisters Sleep Gallery and Audra Domich of Audra’s Image and Wellness Day Spa — as they unloaded their frustration into the notebook of KTW reporter Jessica Wallace.

The issues? Chronic theft, vandalism, graffiti, arson, scattered needles, syringes and drug paraphernalia, garbage, prostitution, defecation, public nudity and more.

The story got a lot of attention and the city did respond with some attempts at addressing the problems, but the social disorder on streets across the city has only worsened since those early days of the pandemic.

Hence Hamer-Jackson’s eventual decision to run for mayor, a pursuit dismissed by many as Quiotic — until it became as real as the words written

by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

Saturday’s election results can be studied forever.

Obviously, Hamer-Jackson focused in on the clear-cut No.1 issue

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS concerning voters — social disorder on the streets, encompassing homelessness, addiction, mentalhealth problems, crime and more.

There wasn’t another issue even close to importance in the minds of the vast majority of voters and that was a sentiment relayed to us by 27 of 28 candidates running for mayor or councillor seats.

(Reo Rocheleau’s councillor platform was filled with asphalt, to be poured into potholes, which is perhaps why he finished in 28th spot.)

During the long campaign — and it was longer than usual, with the unofficial race beginning on Family Day, way back in February, when the unbeatable Ken Christian announced he would not seek re-election as mayor — Hamer-Jackson was derided by many as being a one-issue candidate.

While that is not true, it is a fact he focused almost exclusively on social disorder and his ideas to improve the situation as he talked with voters, attended forums and erected his signs — fewer in number than his opponents, but larger than most.

DIGITAL DESIGNERS Jackson Vander Wal FRONT OFFICE Front office staff: Lorraine Dickinson Angela Wilson Marilyn Emery Rosalynn Bartella CIRCULATION Manager: Serena Platzer

And why wouldn’t he focus on social disorder plaguing the streets?

It was, and remains, issue No. 1, the very problem that propelled him into the campaign.

As for other campaign issues, it might interest residents (and surprise some of his supporters) to know Hamer-Jackson is a big backer of the proposed performing-arts centre.

He has also mentioned the need to improve transit service, having used it through June, and wants to have the city work with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association in addressing the housing crisis.

Hamer-Jackson is like a bull in Pamplona. He seems to only know how to charge forward. Some have told me he is stubborn. For the social disorder mess afflicting Kamloops, perhaps stubbornness is a valuable attribute to have in a politician.

Upon his victory on Saturday night, social media erupted with disbelief, condemnation and insults aplenty aimed at the rookie mayor-to-be.

One argument posed on KTW’s Facebook page was that HamerJackson does not have a “mandate” as mayor because so few people voted. At 29.01 per cent, voter turnout in Saturday’s civic election was the lowest of all seven Kamloops general civic elections held this century.

Hamer-Jackson’s 7,298 votes represented 32 per cent of the 23,087 mayoral votes cast, while another 57,000 eligible voters didn’t bother to cast ballots.

Not surprisingly, I don’t recall that argument being made about Christian’s mayoral byelection win in 2017, when voter turnout was a measly 21 per cent.

No, the argument here is not with

the turnout, but with the candidate — a blunt, plain-spoken everyman who does not seem to care much about adhering to the more politically correct mores of today’s society.

He is, as someone told me, a guy who is tired of talking, tired of the studies, tired of the meetings. He is a guy who just wants to get stuff done.

If so, he is not all that different from so many people in this city who have expressed that same sentiment to me.

But to many, he is disqualified because he dared to speak out publicly about issues that so many people are railing against privately.

How is suggesting a study on rehab centres a bad thing? How can calling for an independent review of shelter providers be criticized, when many of those shelters have negatively impacted the adjacent neighbourhoods? Where is the downside in any of this?

Perhaps most disappointing — but predictable, given the toxicity that is social media — are the comments mocking Hamer-Jackson’s occupation, derisively referenced as a “used car salesman,” as though that vocation alone is something of which to be ashamed and something that cannot possibly be worthy enough to qualify someone to stand as mayor.

(Hamer-Jackson is actually a small business owner, one of thousands in Kamloops.)

And these comments are coming from many people who would generally be described as being left of centre, perhaps “woke,” maybe part of the “inclusive” community.

Some of these same people have objected to those who criticize Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s past work as a teacher.

It only proves hypocrisy knows no bounds.

It seems those who did not want Hamer-Jackson to be mayor are now openly wishing for him to fail, democracy be damned. By extension, these progressives want Kamloops to fail.

Hamer-Jackson is not the easiest man to deal with. He and I have butted heads many times in the past two years, mainly over his fixation on keeping the social disorder issue in the news. He has the remarkable ability to elicit the most creative of profanity from the mouths of newspaper editors while engaged in conversation on the phone.

But he has not wavered and here he is, on the precipice of occupying the mayor’s office with a goal of fixing social disorder on the street.

Will he succeed? Who knows?

And, I would suggest, voters may not care. I suspect they chose HamerJackson because they figured the status quo has not worked, so why not give him a shot? In their minds, there is nothing to lose.

As I noted in a previous column, the mayor has but one vote of nine and has precious little other power to get stuff done via council.

The mayor is, however, blessed with a lobbying window about which the rest of us can only dream. The mayor has rare access to those in Victoria and Ottawa who can help get things done.

I hope Hamer-Jackson takes a deep breath, reflects upon his awesome responsibility and enters city hall with humility, curiosity and an eagerness to learn from incumbent councillors and staff.

And his detractors should have the same hope, for the sake of the city. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PSYCHIATRIC UNIT NEEDS IMPROVING Editor: I would like to echo the sentiments of letter writer Judi Ekelund regarding the lack of care in the mental-health unit of Royal Inland Hospital (‘RIH unit needs more programming,” Oct. 12).

My friend took her life after being discharged from Hillside Psychiatric Centre, adjacent to RIH, in March of this year.

She was sent home to the Cariboo in a cab, without a winter coat, without keys to her house and

without support in place when she did arrive home.

I feel I need to speak for my friend. She described to me exactly what the letter writer Ekelund stated — isolation, no counselling or therapy, no access to recreation, no help at all. She mentioned everything she did was written down. She said she was observed like a fish in a fish bowl and, if she spoke to another patient, it was also recorded.

As a result, she withdrew and quit speaking to others on her ward

and resumed pacing the floor like a caged animal.

My friend was discharged wearing hospital clothing. My friend was brilliant, highly educated, questioning, curious and possessed a humorous wit about her.

Interior Health did my friend a great disservice. A once-vibrant, thriving mind was crunched to a data point on a graph and reduced to a mere statistic.

Editor: Thanks to KTW, CBC Radio and Radio NL for organizing the Oct. 5 civic election forum.

At that former, mayoral candidate — and now mayorelect — Reid Hamer-Jackson mentioned he has witnessed more than 800 emergency calls to social housing and a shelter across from his Victoria Street West business.

He said many of the calls consisted of multiple fire trucks

and ambulances responding.

In a recent KTW story, it was noted firefighters attended 56 per cent more medical calls in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 — 3,043 this year compared to 1,948 last year, Would it not be more feasible to use a smaller vehicle with a registered nurse and first responder to attend these calls?

Son: What you see is what you get From A1

“He said, ‘If you want to play this game, that’s the only way you’re going to be able to do it right now,’ so he’ll help me do that,” Tyrell Hamer-Jackson said. “He’ll give me the tools — I’ve just got to build the house.”

Tyrell now plays professionally for the Vancouver Warriors in the National Lacrosse League and can’t remember a game his dad didn’t attend.

“He’ll come down and then he’ll head back that night or whatever he’s got to do to make it work, just so he can show his support,” Tyrell said.

Mount Paul Golf Course owner Dan Latin’s son also played for the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the dads carpooled together.

Latin said they spent a lot of time travelling back and forth and became friends, riding motorcycles together on and off over the years.

“Tenacious,” he said of HamerJackson’s nature. “When he gets onto something, he gets something on his mind and away he goes.”

That was a common theme among people who spoke with KTW about Hamer-Jackson.

Another friend, Bill Skene, described Hamer-Jackson as being a dog with a bone.

Skene has been friends with Hamer-Jackson for 35 years. Their boys also played hockey together and they became friends. He described Hamer-Jackson as a “straight-up guy” and recalled the two competing against one another as car salesmen working for different dealerships. They would try to get their names in the newspaper for salesman of the month. Reid was apparently pictured five years in a row.

“He’d sell anything,” Skene said.

“He’s a hell of a salesman.”

Skene recalled one occasion when the two of them raced cars on a quarter-mile racetrack that was beside Skene’s workplace in an industrial area of Kamloops.

Hamer-Jackson was driving a Trans-Am and Skene was driving a Camaro and they were racing with nobody else around — until the son of Skene’s boss showed up and

caught them. It’s a story that still comes up between the two men.

“We have a few things to talk about,” Skene quipped. “Not for you guys, though.”

Hamer-Jackson has a penchant for stock car racing, according to a number of his friends and family.

Doogie Anderson is another of Hamer-Jackson’s friends. Asked about Hamer-Jackson’s hobbies and interests, Anderson said Hamer-Jackson was a “golden gloves boxing champion,” a dirtbike and ATV rider and a boater.

“He got his golden gloves,” Anderson said. “It’s the hierarchy. You know when you have a black belt in karate? When he was younger, it was a boxing thing. So he knows how to — he doesn’t back down from anybody.”

Stereo Warehouse owners Nina Johal and Mindy Sandhu have

worked beside Hamer-Jackson’s Tru Market Auto Sales for 30 years and described him as a good neighbour and person. Johal said the pair calls Hamer-Jackson when they feel unsafe due to street disorder in their neighbourhood, noting he shared water and electricity after a fire damaged the Stereo Warehouse building.

Johal said Hamer-Jackson is compassionate and talks to people on the streets, recalling one occasion when someone climbed onto a train behind their buildings. She said Hamer-Jackson spent 30 to 45 minutes talking the person, who was in distress, down from the train before taking them into his office to talk. On another occasion, Sandhu was threatened and the Stereo Warehouse owners phoned Hamer-Jackson.

“Before the police got here,

Reid got here,” Johal said. “Reid was always here any time we needed him, feeling unsafe in our store. He always comes through.

It doesn’t matter where he is, he’ll drive down and help us out.”

Added Sandhu: “If a person has a good heart, and they care, and they’re compassionate, it doesn’t matter what the profession is, what job they choose. If you’re a good person, good all the way around and you have nothing personally to gain, I’d rather have that person run for — doesn’t matter what it is.”

Tyrell said Hamer-Jackson is a big Kamloops Blazers fan and is friends with the Recchi family.

NHL hall-of-famer Mark Recchi endorsed Hamer-Jackson for mayor during the election campaign.

Mel Recchi — Mark Recchi’s father — told KTW he knew Hamer-Jackson’s father, who was a “big real estate man in Kamloops,” noting he is somewhat of a second dad to Hamer-Jackson. Recchi said Hamer-Jackson comes across as a “hard guy,” but pointed out he will do anything to help and has a great smile. He went so far as to describe him as a “sweet guy.”

Recchi said Hamer-Jackson first told him he was running for council and Recchi encouraged him. He said he was the first person HamerJackson called to tell him he was, in fact, planning to run for mayor — something that caught Recchi by surprise.

“He’s going to have a challenge but, you know, he’s a very bright guy,” Recchi said, adding he believes Hamer-Jackson will work well with council on all issues.

“Sometimes Reid, pardon my language, seems to be a hard-ass.

But he’s not. He’s a real softy. He’s a pretty good guy. He’s stubborn — but he’s a pretty good guy.”

Tyrell said what you see is what you get with his father. He said he suggested his dad wear a suit when running for mayor.

“He says, ‘No. No, Ty, like I’m just a normal guy,” Tyrell recounted. “‘I’m just going to wear my clothes. I’m not going to change.

Why would I change? Why would I wear a suit? I’ve never really worn suits.’”

Politicians perplexed by low voter turnout MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mayoral candidates Ray Dhaliwal and Sadie Hunter were disappointed with the low voter turnout in the Oct. 15 civic election, which came in at 29.01 per cent — the lowest this century.

“Kamloops didn’t come out to vote, that’s for sure,” Dhaliwal said.

Hunter cited apathy.

“I talked to a lot of people who seemed to feel their vote didn’t matter, or what was the point — that kind of response — and I think the turnout reflected that sentiment,” Hunter said.

She said she doesn’t feel the election results in Kamloops are a fair representation of the views of all Kamloopsians, given that less than a third of eligible voters cast ballots.

Hunter said people who felt disenfranchised have a voice, but for whatever reason didn’t choose to exercise it through their vote.

She feels change is needed, be that with incentives or perhaps mandatory voting, as is done in Australia.

The poor results come despite the fact this year the municipality offered more polling stations, advance voting days and expanded mail-in options for everyone.

Hunter said in instances of voter apathy, it is important to get out the vote; otherwise, she argued, results are skewed and don’t represent a fair representation of the entire community.

Hunter also noted it was a positive sign that four women were elected to council and will comprise a 50/50 split with the four male councillors.

Of the 23 councillor candidates, only seven (30 per cent) were women, but almost two-thirds (57 per cent) were elected.

Asked if she plans to return in four years to run for council or mayor, Hunter said “anything can happen in four years. I have many irons in the fire, so we’ll see where it takes me.”

Hunter, who ran as the NDP’s Kamloops-North Thompson candidate in the 2020 provincial election, said she does not intend to run again for the provincial seat in 2024.

“Nope. Not at this time. I’ve done four campaigns in five years, so right now what I’m thinking about is resting and spending time with my family,” she said.

Dhaliwal said he “still has lots to give to this community” and intends to return in four years to again run for mayor.

“Four years, definitely, I’ll be back,” he said.

Former Kamloops mayor Terry Lake, who backed Dudy, called voter turnout “pathetic.”

“But I think people are worn out. They’re worn out by everything. They’re worn out by COVID. They’re worn out by the war in Ukraine. They’re worn out by inflation. They’re worn out by everything, so this is really not a surprise because everyone is just done,” Lake said.

DO YOU HAVE AMAZING

Mayoral candidate Ray Dhaliwal chats with supporters during his election night gathering on Oct. 15 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. Dhaliwal finished last in the five-person race, but has vowed to again run for mayor in 2026.

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow returns to Kamloops ––––––– ADVERTISEMENT –––––––

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops October 22nd and 23rd. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Brock Activity Centre between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day. No appointment is required.

Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing directly with a smelter” Barry Dick said Dick.

“That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen.

Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins, and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification.

Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is presented and you decide to sell or not.

“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick.

“A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling”.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984.

Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce.

incurring that environmental cost.

Out of fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted. “We can assess any coin ever made for collector or precious metal value, including world coins and ancient coins.” People are encouraged to bring in any and all

Working as a team will be the key to success — that was the most common thought offered by the incoming group of eight Kamloops city councillors who spoke to KTW. On Oct. 15, Kamloops voters reelected incumbent councillors Dale Bass, Mike O’Reilly and Bill Sarai, along with newcomers Kelly Hall, Stephen Karpuk, Margo Middleton, Katie Neustaeter and Nancy Bepple, with Bepple previously serving as a councillor.

Neustaeter, in her first foray into politics, topped the polls with 11,583 votes — a placement she said came as a surprise and a feeling of responsibility.

“I’m grateful that Kamloops believes in me to be able to do the job,” Neustaeter said, noting one of the main priorities she wants to address is the workplace culture at city hall.

“I’d like to see it become an improved workplace where city staff love to come to work and feel empowered in their roles and supported to do good work,” Neustaeter said, adding this need for change is something she heard from

former city employees on the campaign trail.

Sarai placed second with 10,737 votes.

“This council’s got a good make-up. I’m looking forward to the next four years,” Sarai said, noting this council is not much different from the one elected in 2018 in terms of newcomers, when four rookies, including himself, were elected.

Sarai wants to find ways to fund the city’s recreational master plan and find ways to attract businesses and build facilities, such as an arts centre, that attract events and helps Kamloops maintain its brand as the Tournament Capital.

O’Reilly, who placed third with 10,626 votes, said voters have elected a strong council team.

“Despite a lot of the differences between the candidates, there are a lot of similarities, so that gives me a lot of hope that we’re going to have a very productive council going forward,” O’Reilly said.

His priorities include developing a plan for how to fund the municipalities recreational master plan, addressing street issues and improving housing affordability.

O’Reilly said council will need to discuss its strategic plan for the next four years, which includes priorities and a collective vision for

Kamloops.

Hall, who finished fourth, with 9,544 votes, said he is excited to be a member of council, noting a lot of work went into his campaign in the past two months. He said he feels council is a good, diverse group and anticipates plenty of collaboration.

Hall said he wants to gain an understanding of the city’s planning department and help grow the business sector in town.

“That’s one of the attractants of a growing population in Kamloops,” he said.

Middleton, who finished fifth with 8,560 votes, hopes the candidates who didn’t get elected remain engaged in civic politics and are active in the city .

She believes the council group will work well together.

“We’re all adults. I think we all have a common goal, which is to work hard for the City of Kamloops — all its residents — and move initiatives forward that have perhaps been sitting on the back burner for a while,” Middleton said. “We’ve got a nice mix of people with some different views and I think that’s always good.

I think we’re going to be able to have good debate — don’t want anything to just be rubber stamped because you have a whole council just seeing one point of view.”

Once she gets up to speed with how the city operates, Middleton said she would like to tackle housing affordability in Kamloops, followed by homelessness issues and a review of city facilities.

Looking back on election night, Bass, who placed sixth with 8,245 votes, said she was stunned — given the amount of grief the previous council faced from the public during the campaign — that 70 per cent of eligible voters didn’t cast ballots.

Voter turnout was just 29.01 per cent in Kamloops — one of the city’s lowestever totals.

As a former rookie herself, Bass said she knows there is a steep learning curve ahead for the new councillors and mayor-elect Reid Hamer-Jackson, all but one of whom are entering politics for the first time.

“I think some of the successful candidates did not realize they are going to have to learn about how the city runs,” Bass said, noting they will be getting tours of various facilities, such as the water-treatment plant and Mission Flats landfill, to see how those operations work.

On the campaign trial, Bass noted how slow government can operate in addressing issues and wants to continue pressing Interior Health to add a nurse to the Car 40 program and the province for more drug

treatment beds in town.

She also wants the city to implement its single-use plastic bags bylaw, which was approved by the current council.

Third time running was the charm for Stephen Karpuk, who finished seventh with 8,122 votes — a result he contributes to taking a greater effort on the campaign this time around.

“I did a lot of door-todoor, which I never had the opportunity to do before,” Karpuk said, adding he thinks he has name recognition from his previous campaigns.

Karpuk cited snowclearing as an issue he would like to tackle, noting he would like to see more ploughs on trucks.

He said he would also like to see the city take more initiative in projects it would like to see the province fund, in order to find more success by being able to present property and conceptual plans and asking Victoria to write the cheque.

“Versus saying, ‘Can you figure this out for and then pay for it?’ We can’t just say ‘Hey, where’s my cancer centre,’” Karpuk said, referring to the Premier John Horgan’s 2020 election campaign promise to build a complete cancer centre in Kamloops.

Nancy Bepple returns to council, having finished eighth with 7,745 votes. She said there was many strong candidates in this election and felt the public made good decisions in who they voted for.

Bepple hopes to address street issues, municipal support for housing and implementing and funding the city’s climate action plan.

“That’s a priority for me,” Bepple said of the climate action plan.

About 400 mail-in ballots did not get counted JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER

An estimated 400 mail-in-ballots will not count in this year’s civic election, due to complications during the first year the city opened up mail-in voting citywide.

On Tuesday, the city’s chief election officer, Amanda Passmore, presented voter turnout numbers to the outgoing council.

Coun. Kathy Sinclair said she heard complaints that mail-in ballot directions were difficult and ques-

tioned how the process worked, with mail being sorted in Vancouver and time lags.

Passmore called it a “very real challenge” and said the timing was tricky. She said 40,000 ballots did not arrive with the city until 2 p.m. on Sept. 29 , noting and city staff spent the weekend compiling them.

Passmore said management chipped in and staff worked through Thanksgiving weekend to get ballots out, with 100 staff hours used to package ballots.

Passmore told KTW the ballots were a four-envelope system

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Preliminary enrolment figures in School District 73 show about 350 more students than last year — with most of those not anticipated by the district.

The figure from SD73 is from a snapshot of the student population on Sept. 29 taken each year. This year, it shows 353 more full-time equivalent students than in September 2021 and 311 more than what the district had projected.

That accounts for three additional Kindergarten students, 99 more in grades 1 to 7 and 251 more in grades 8

The best athletes in the world tend to use coaches to help them keep on track, maintain focus, monitor progress and achieve their goals. Despite being incredibly talented, athletes realize the value a coach brings to them both personally and/or their team.

We like to say that we are like your personal Chief Financial Officer (CFO) reviewing aspects of your wealth, providing personalized advice specific to helping you achieve what truly matters to you. There have been several compelling studies showing that working with a trusted financial advisor can help build wealth faster.

CIRANO's 2020 report "More on the Value of Financial Advisors" showed investors receiving advice accumulate 131% or 2.3 times more wealth after 15 years than nonadvised investors.

Another study by Vanguard Investments in 2022 showed that advisors may add approximately 3% of value in portfolio returns over time. These returns were net of both fees and taxes. The Vanguard study mentions the range of around 3% because not all advisors offer all of these services. A breakout of where they believe advisors can help improve results:

“That is regrettable,” she told council. “I don’t want to miss out on any single vote because they all absolutely matter, as we know.

Especially in an election with a turnout as low as it was.”

KTW asked Passmore if the votes would have influenced the election results.

to 12 across the district, compared to 2021.

Part of the increase can be explained by students returning to in-person learning in schools. In that instance, the district overestimated how many would be returning to its online learning program, @KOOL. Assistant superintendent for secondary schools Bill Hamblett said about 100 fewer students are enrolled in that program this year.

“Our hypothesis is that students in [@KOOL] went back to brick-and-mortar [schools], which is what we thought would happen, but we’re not sure. Overall, the enrolment continues to grow in the district,” he said.

Beyond that, Hamblett said, more analysis is needed

“I don’t think any of the margins were even close to 400,” she said.

“So I know the mayoral race was about 1,000 and then, the difference between the lowest votes for council were, I think, still about 1,000. I don’t think it would have been drastic enough to sway results in any way.”

to determine from where the students are coming.

As someone who teaches the legal side of real estate transactions at TRU, and having spoken with realtors, Trustee John O’Fee said there is a noticeable trend of out-of-town buyers coming to Kamloops.

“They’ve noticed a marked increase in the past few years of people moving into Kamloops — and that it’s a much higher percentage of people moving into the community, as opposed to moving around in the community,” O’Fee said.

In total, the figures show 1,127 Kindergarten students, 8,089 primary (Grade 1 to Grade 7) students and 6,146 secondary (Grade 8 to Grade 12) students.

The study concluded the most important skill an advisor can bring is behavioural coaching. This coincides with several studies that have shown that the average investor underperforms due to emotional behavior working against them. J.P Morgan's 2022 Guide to the Markets report showed that over a 20-year period a portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds in the US returned an average of 7.4% whereas the average investor only earned 3.6%.

On top of potential increased return, according to FP Canada's report on the Value of Financial Planning, investors working with advisors feel twice as prepared for retirement as those without. These investors also reported higher levels of emotional, financial, and overall contentment.

1.

Portfolio Construction: Includes suitable asset allocation: mix of stocks, bonds and alternatives. For example, we employ seven layers of diversification (Asset class, geography, currency, style, size, sectors and alternatives). This should also entail using costeffective solutions and placing each investment in the most tax efficient account (RSP, TFSA, etc.).

Financial concepts are complex and continually changing along with stock markets and demographics needs. Some key areas not covered in any of the research were the benefits of pension selection, charitable giving, income splitting and estate planning strategies. Savings in these areas could magnify the results but are likely harder to quantify.

2.

Wealth Management: Includes regular portfolio rebalancing (trimming at highs and adding near lows).

Creating a draw down or cash flow strategy. To help keep clients on track, advisors should be revisiting client's objectives before major life events such as: having a child, marriage, divorce, retirement, disability, illness, or death.

The studies concluded that provided the advisor charged a reasonable fee, the benefits from the guidance of a fullservice professional wealth manager should outweigh the costs and could add up to 3.0% a year.

Behavioural Coaching: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a roller coaster ride that has tested investors. One of the biggest risks to investing is doing the wrong thing at the wrong time: selling when markets are down or chasing performance.

Commenting on proposed carving of Kamloops MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A lack of things in common and travel time for MLAs were among reasons given by Kamloops and area residents on Tuesday for their opposition to proposed changes to the configuration of Kamloops-area provincial ridings.

A commission looking at electoral boundaries in B.C. has made recommendations on how new boundaries should be drawn, including major changes for Kamloops’ two districts.

Current boundaries in Kamloops fall upon the Thompson River, dividing the area north and south into Kamloops-North Thompson and Kamloops-South Thompson.

But if the recommended boundaries are adopted, Kamloops would be divided east and west into two renamed districts: Kamloops Centre and Kamloops-North Shuswap.

Commissioners Justice Nitya Iyer (commission chair), Anton Boegman (B.C.’s chief electoral officer) and Linda Tynan met with about 20 people at the Delta Kamloops Hotel downtown, taking feedback from residents and hearing alternative options on how to keep certain communities in or out of a Kamloops riding.

Nine people made presentations, almost all of whom took issue with having their provincial representation out of sync with Kamloops as their geographic, economic, health and educational service centre or being lumped in with it despite being more connected to other communities.

Iyer told KTW she was pleased with the turnout and concrete feedback they received Tuesday as commission members don’t understand the electoral districts at the granular level residents do.

“This is exactly the kind of information that’s most useful to us,” she said.

Iyer said population numbers aren’t the only consideration when drawing electoral boundaries, noting the relationship communities have with an MLA, but it doesn’t

necessarily impact one’s school district or health authority.

“Some of the presentations did include more than what we can actually consider directly, but, of course, that concept of effective representation allows us to think about those things,” Iyer said, noting they want to draw sensible boundaries.

Asked if it is likely there will be changes made to the Kamloops area’s proposed ridings, Iyer said she can’t predict that, but confirmed everything that was heard will be taken seriously. She said it they cannot cannot make a change, they will provide an explanation as to why, which will be included in the commission’s final report.

Most of the nine people who presented to the commission were mostly regional district representatives and took various issues with the proposals. The commission heard from Barrierre Mayor Ward Stamer, Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell, Cariboo Regional District Area H director Margo Wagner, Thompson-Nicola Regional District director-elect Michael Grenier (whose area includes Tobiano, Cherry Creek and Savona) and director-elect Doug Haughton (whose area includes Pritchard, Monte Lake and Knutsford).

The commission also heard from former Clearwater chief administrative officer Leslie Groulx, Simpcw First Nation Coun. Alison Green and Barnhartvale resident Diane Cooper. NDP member Michael Crawford also spoke and heaped praise on the commission for creating the Kamloops-Centre riding.

The proposed changes would see Westsyde, Batchelor Heights and neighbourhoods east of Valleyview cut off from Kamloops and included in the KamloopsNorth-Shuswap riding.

There are still two virtual public feedback meetings for the B.C. residents — one this Friday and another on Nov. 8.

A final report is expected to be released in April 2023 and the province’s legislative assembly will make the final decision on whether to accept all, some or none of the commission’s recommendations.

Habitat Canada points to Habitat Kamloops’ MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four new homes in Blind Bay in the Shuswap were being sold by Habitat for Humanity Kamloops as of early October. The homes were being sold on the private market, not to families in need as is the normal practice of Habitat. Because of the private sales, among other reasons, Habitat for Humanity Canada has severed its ties to Habitat Kamloops.

KTW PHOTO

Privately selling homes and a lack of financial transparency were among the reasons Habitat for Humanity Canada cited for stripping the Kamloops non-profit branch of its affiliation with the national organization.

Habitat Canada is providing more details over its decision to disaffiliate Habitat for Humanity Kamloops, which was effective as of Oct. 13.

The decision means Habitat Kamloops can no longer use that brand and must remove the name and logo from all of its social media accounts, advertising and other assets. As of Tuesday, they remained on Habitat Kamloops’ website and Facebook pages.

Initially, Habitat Canada issued a release stating that its board of directors voted to disaffiliate Habitat Kamloops because Habitat Kamloops failed to adhere to the national organization’s high standards of operation and governance, but did not specify the manner in which Habitat

Kamloops has not done so.

Via email in response to KTW’s questions, Habitat Canada communications director Sarah Austin explained Habitat Kamloops was not providing transparent reporting of its finances to the national body.

“We became aware that the former affiliate was having a number of disputes with local vendors and contractors, some of whom provided their goods and services on a discounted basis or as volunteers,” Austin said.

“These people are so important for our work and being at odds with them is unacceptable. We also received information on their [Habitat Kamloops’] most recent project in Blind Bay, B.C. that was of concern.”

KTW has learned Habitat Kamloops is privately selling four new homes in Blind Bay in the Shuswap as opposed to homes being sold to families in need.

Austin said the Blind Bay homes were built with funding from Habitat Canada based on a commitment to make them available as long-term affordable housing, but are instead being sold on the open market.

“This was inconsistent with our funding agreement and our vision and one of the reasons we felt it necessary to terminate the relationship,” Austin said, noting the former affiliate was no longer committed to serving families living with low incomes.

Homes built by Habitat are sold to families who are chosen from applications to buy the residence. Those families help with construction. The sales are at current market value, with special conditions, including no down payment, an interest-free mortgage that is carried by Habitat and a buyback provision if the homeowner decides to sell. Homeowners are also responsible for paying property taxes and strata fees and covering maintenance costs.

Austin said while sometimes Habitat homes or other assets may need to be sold for a variety of reasons, it is not the intention, nor is it in the spirit of the organization’s mandate, to build homes with donated dollars and labour, only to immediately sell the homes at market rates.

“We do not condone these actions,” she said.

private home sales as a reason for disaffiliation In August, KTW reported Habitat Kamloops was the subject of a trio of lawsuits launched between April and July of this year. Asked if this too was a factor in disaffiliating Habitat Kamloops, Austin said there were many determining factors involved in the decision to ultimately disaffiliate the organization, noting Habitat Canada only learned about the lawsuits recently due to reporting in KTW. “And it was one of the issues we were pursuing quite seriously with the former affiliate,” Austin said.

According to online court documents in August, the society was being sued for $19,000

by A&R Site Services for an outstanding bill.

It was also being sued for $12,000 by a former employee and for $375,000 in connection with unpaid monies in an asset purchase agreement.

Habitat Canada said it has been working with the now former affiliate, Habitat Kamloops, over the past year to help the organization meet the national body’s mandatory standards through a defined process, but Habitat Kamloops was unable to meet these standards.

Asked what specifically that process has involved, Austin said Habitat Canada has a standards program and, when an affiliate does not comply with the agreed standards, it is subject to defined consequences and provided with a series of formal communications.

That correspondence notifies the affiliate what standards it has not met, provides deadlines for honouring the commitments required and advises of consequences of continued non-compliance, which range from sanctions through to the last resort of disaffiliation.

“At every step, Habitat Canada offers staff resources, support and conversations to help the affiliate understand the requirements and support them in remedying the standards that are not being met,” Austin said.

“In the case of the former affiliate, this

included senior representatives of Habitat Canada travelling to meet with the former affiliate and reiterate Habitat Canada’s offer of assistance to help them comply.”

She said Habitat Canada is not in any sort of legal dispute with Habitat Kamloops.

In August, Habitat Kamloops executive director Bill Miller told KTW the organization was not in financial trouble, despite the fact it is the subject of numerous civil lawsuits and has closed its ReStore on the North Shore, moving it to Salmon Arm. The ReStore is a home and building supply store that provides a source of revenue for the charity.

“I’m not going to debate what our legal issues are in the news,” Miller said in August, adding there are bound to be some disputes with contractors and suppliers for an organization that undertakes millions of dollars worth of construction.

“And that’s exactly what’s going on,” he said.

“And we will prevail. I have no concerns about that at all.”

KTW called Miller on Oct. 13, asking for more information regarding the disaffiliation and to elaborate as to why, according to the Canada Revenue Service, Habitat for Humanity Kamloops has not filed its charity returns or financial statements since 2020.

Miller returned a call after hours on Oct. 17, leaving a message. KTW will have a follow-up story once it can again connect with Miller.

Habitat Kamloops has told other local media outlets via news releases that it has been in a dispute with Habitat’s national office, which includes legal action, and that Habitat Kamloops has retained a lawyer to assist in the separation.

In the release, Habitat Kamloops also claimed the disaffiliation is a mutual process dating back to December 2021 and that Habitat Canada accelerated the disaffiliation before a separation agreement was reached.

Austin, however, told KTW that Habitat

Canada made the disaffiliation decision independently.

“We were not made aware of any internal discussions or decisions made by the former affiliate to mutually part ways,” Austin said.

“Since they are an independent organization operating under their own management, we are not involved in their internal discussions or decisions.”

Habitat Kamloops operates in Kamloops, Princeton, Lytton, Lillooet, Merritt, Prince George, McBride, Lumby, Enderby, Armstrong, Salmon Arm, Cache Creek, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Revelstoke. Miller has told local media outlets Habitat Kamloops will continue to develop attainable housing in the regions it serves, albeit under a new name.

Crash closes portion of Columbia Street in downtown Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

According to the Kamloops RCMP, the driver of the westbound truck left Columbia Street at about 4:20 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2022, and ended up across the front yards of a couple of homes on the north side of the road.

Columbia Street between 12th and 13th streets is closed as of 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday due to an accident involving a commercial truck that was hauling vehicles.

“A suspect driver allegedly fled from the transport truck, but was located soon after and taken into custody as part of the criminal investigation,” Evelyn said.

“Miraculously, no one was injured despite the damage that occurred in the area.”

That section of Columbia Street should reopen later Tuesday morning.

THE PEDESTRIAN, IN HIS 40S, WAS HIT BY A TRUCK AS HE TRIED TO CROSS VICTORIA STREET WEST KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are investigating a collision downtown on the weekend that claimed the life of a man.

On Saturday, Oct. 15, at about 7:20 p.m., police were called to the 200-block of Victoria Street West, where a westbound truck had collided with a pedestrian attempting to cross the street.

The victim, a man in his 40s, was taken to Royal Inland Hospital in critical condition. He later succumbed to his injuries.

RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said police have examined and surveyed the collision scene, spoke with witnesses and obtained related video footage,

noting the driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with the investigation.

In its release, the RCMP did not specify if the man was using a crosswalk when crossing the street.

Kamloops This Week has asked for clarification and is awaiting a response.

Anybody who witnessed the collision or has information they have not yet shared with police is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-37051.

The weekend incident was the second pedestrian fatality in the Victoria Street West area this month.

On Oct. 2, a man in his 30s died when he was struck by a train travelling on tracks adjacent to the road.

Exploring a First Nations voice on TNRD board JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Will Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc or other area First Nations one day have representation on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board?

Past discussion at the regional district has suggested provincial legislative changes in the works to include First Nations at the table.

Outgoing TNRD Area P (Rivers

and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger said at the Oct. 6 board meeting that discussions to enhance the regional district’s relationship with the band are ongoing.

Rothenburgers’s comments came during a visit to the board by a delegation led by Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir.

Rothenburger noted the band’s relationship with the City of Kamloops, while Casimir has promoted her relationships with outgoing Kamloops Mayor Ken

Christian, city councillors Dieter Dudy, Arjun Singh and others. The City of Kamloops and Tk’emlúps have also received national recognition for collaboration.

Rothenburger queried Casimir on the potential for a structural relationship at the regional district level and representation on the board.

“I think it would be something that would be very welcoming,” Casimir said. “And that is something that could be very, in the near

future, progressed towards.”

Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine, who has been acclaimed for another term, said he hopes to one day see tribal council representatives on the regional district board.

“I don’t know how we get there, but we should get there,” he said.

“I believe that we will get there,” Casimir replied.

The TNRD recently added a land acknowledgment to its board meetings and a new orange crosswalk, in collaboration with the

City of Kamloops and Tk’emlúps, was added outside the TNRD Building downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, to honour the anniversary of Le Estcwéy (The Missing).

The TNRD board also presented a poster to Casimir, noting local author Michelle Good’s awardwinning book Five Little Indians (detailing the story of residential school survivors) was the library’s highest-circulating item in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

TNRD’s chief financial officer departs, with no reason given JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

“The Thompson-Nicola Regional District

Tyrell Hamer-Jackson (right) suffered a knee injury in March that cut short his season with the Vancouver Warriors. He is on the mend and plans to resume his National Lacrosse League career this winter.

DEVIN MANKY PHOTO

kamloopsthisweek.com | 778-471-7536

Hamer-Jackson healing, touts return to NLL sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tyrell Hamer-Jackson chuckled at the irony, reflecting Monday (Oct. 17) on a comment that bordered on hubristic and that did not age well.

The faceoff specialist and TikTok sensation spoke to KTW last December on the eve of the 2021-2022 National Lacrosse League season and got on a roll, finishing the spirited interview with a declaration: “I’m 26 and bulletproof.”

Hamer-Jackson’s armour was pierced in March.

“I tore my meniscus. A guy landed on my (right) knee and snapped it,” said Hamer-Jackson, the 5-foot-6, 200-pound Kamloops product who recorded two goals and three points and clicked at 58.7 per cent on faceoffs in 10 games last season.

“It sucks. It’s just how you handle it, right?”

Hamer-Jackson, who has more than 273,000 followers and 6.7-million likes on TikTok, is a tugboat deckhand whose log-running stunts attract big crowds on social media.

Neither dazzling on the Fraser River nor drawing at Rogers Arena has been pos-

sible since Tugboat Tyrell’s season was scuttled seven months ago — but he’s full steam ahead for 2022-2023.

“They had me in the operating room the next day [after the injury] and fixed it up,” said HamerJackson, who was working out at Acceleration Kozoris Strength and Conditioning in Kamloops when he picked up the phone on Monday.

“I said, ‘Let’s get this thing going again for next year.’ I’ve put in the work.

I’m cleared to play, cleared to work. We’ve got camp in two weeks. We’re going to have a really good year in Vancouver.”

The Warriors posted a 6-12 mark last season to miss the playoffs and made a change behind the bench in June, moving on from head coach Chris Gill and replacing him with Troy Cordingley.

“I think we’ve got somewhere around 60 guys coming to camp, but I’m ready to go and we’ve got some new coaches this year, a good core of local guys from Vancouver on our team,” Hamer-Jackson said.

“I learned how to properly take care of my knee. We have the best support staff in Vancouver at East Van

Physio. They got my mental game back in it and I also got a chance to sit back and learn more about the game.

I believe you’re never done learning.”

Hamer-Jackson’s father, Reid, did not begin his campaign as a favourite, but the businessman — who, like son, can also be brashly outspoken — was on Saturday elected to be mayor of Kamloops.

“It’s awesome,” Tyrell

said. “He’s the biggest role model in my life. He’s my best friend. I’ve never seen the guy back down from anything. He’s relentless.”

How does it feel to see his father criticized online?

“It’s all good, man. I’ve got 275,000 followers on TikTok. You don’t think I’ve seen that stuff before?”

Hamer-Jackson said. “You’ve just got to take it with a grain of salt. I’ve heard it all, man.

My whole life, I’ve heard it

all, so there’s nothing that can really kind of set you back and if it does, you’ve got to figure something out, right?

“He’s really kind of shown me that you can’t really let anyone tell you that you can’t do something — because it can be done.”

That attitude seems to have served Hamer-Jackson well in his lacrosse career, an underdog story that can add a knee surgery comeback

chapter if he cracks the roster in time for the Warriors’ season opener against the hometown Toronto Rock on Dec. 3.

“You learn some things, right,” Hamer-Jackson, now 27, said with a laugh when asked about the bulletproof quote backfiring. “But I still roll around thinking that way. I don’t know. That’s just how I am. I’m 5-foot6. You can’t act like you’re 5-foot-6, you know?”

Dalke reflects on Classics’ Thank you Kamloops summer, club of year award

It is with sadness that my wife, Santie, and I are announcing my retirement by 25 November 2022.

After having served patients for more than 20 years in Canada (12 years in Kamloops), we have decided to return back to South Africa.

We will have fond memories of Kamloops and surrounding areas, as well as the wonderful people of Kamloops. Most of all we would like to thank each and every patient who have opened their hearts to us. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported us with kind words, beautiful cards and gifts. We appreciated every kind gesture. It was a wonderful privilege to be part of the good and difficult times. We will miss you and will carry you in our hearts and memories when we leave Canada.

We also would like to thank Judy Brunn (MOA) for all the years of dedicated service. We surely would not be able to serve our patients without her being there every day with her knowledge and care.

Please also welcome Dr. Adeosun that will take over my practice by 28 November 2022. We wish her the best for the future.

Brad Dalke, head coach of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club, took a few moments to reflect on this past summer before diving into what lies ahead for his athletes this season.

One highlight came in July in Vancouver at the Swim B.C. Summer Provincial Championships, where the Classics were presented with the 2021 Swim BC Club of the Year Award.

expecting that at all.

We did have a pretty good swim season, in terms of going through COVID and renovations [at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre] and all that, still able to continue the build the club and have it progressing forward.”

Sienna Angove and Diego Paz are among the Classics who posted notable results this past summer.

Angove, competing in the 15-to17-year-old girls’ division, won a pair of silver medals (400-metre freestyle and 400m individual medley) and one bronze medal (1,500m freestyle) at the Canadian Junior Swimming Championships, which wrapped up on Aug. 1 in Montreal.

She set three club records at junior nationals, establishing highwater marks in the 200m, 400m and 1,500m freestyle events.

Paz, who competed in seven events and set a club record in the 400m individual medley at junior nationals in Montreal, helped Canada earn a top 10 finish at the World Junior Open Water Swimming Championships in September in Seychelles, the archipelagic country consisting of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean at the eastern edge of the

Somali Sea. The Classics’ representative Paz raced the second leg of the mixed 4x1,500m event and pushed the Canadian relay team into third place. It finished ninth. Paz placed 18th in the men’s 10km event.

Paz, Angove, Sela Wist and Julie Moore of the Classics were invited to compete for Canada in the FINA Swimming World Cup, a series of three events, with stops in Berlin, Toronto and Indianapolis.

Dalke said

Angove is planning to compete at the Toronto stop, which is slated to run from Oct. 28 to Oct. 30, while the other three swimmers are occupied with postsecondary duties and will not swim at the World Cup events.

Closer to home, the Classics are more than a month into the 2022-2023 season and in the process of building stamina and structure, with athletes settled into a traditional schedule for the first time since the pandemic arrived in 2020, Dalke said.

Stankoven talks 50 goals, catching Bedard, Memorial Cup MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Logan Stankoven was short a few important items when he touched down in B.C. last week after a stint in the pro ranks with the Dallas Stars.

Safely stowed was determination for the 2022-2023 Western Hockey League campaign, while hockey gear, sticks and luggage did not make the trip.

“We want to win it all and then, yeah, hopefully, that kind of leads right into the Memorial Cup,” said the 19-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ forward Stankoven, the reigning Canadian Hockey League player of the year.

“Being a Memorial Cup host, you want to win your way there,” Stankoven said. “You don’t want to be a team that loses in the first couple rounds and then sits around for a month waiting for the tournament to start.”

The Blazers are nearly whole again and managed well while playing without a host

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

of trickling-in regulars, including six who participated in NHL training camps — Stankoven (Dallas Stars), Matthew Seminoff (Dallas), Fraser Minten (Toronto Maple Leafs), Caedan Bankier (Minnesota Wild), Kyle Masters

(Wild) and Daylan Kuefler (New York Islanders).

Each of the above has returned to the lineup except for Minten, who is recovering from a wrist injury and is expected to play on Friday, when the Winnipeg Ice come to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

Stankoven’s gear finally arrived in Kamloops and was promptly shovelled onto a southbound bus.

The Blazers’ captain tallied two goals and three points in a 7-1 victory over the Tri-City Americans on Friday in Kennewick, Wash., and added a goal and an assist in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Winterhawks on Saturday in Portland.

Stankoven was expected to make his 2022-2023 home debut last night (Oct. 18) after KTW’s press deadline against Brandon, a box office boon for a Tuesday night fixture against an East Division opponent.

Kamloops was 4-1-0-1 and fourth in Western Conference standings at press time.

Fans know time with their

hometown hero is finite — and they want to see what Stankoven has in store for what seems likely to be his swan-song season in the WHL. For starters, can the 5-foot-7, 170-pound dynamo best his lofty totals from 2021-2022, when he recorded 45 goals and 104 points in 59 games?

“I don’t know,” said Stankoven, nabbed by Kamloops fifth overall in the 2018 WHL Prospects Draft.

“It’s going to be a hard year to follow up. I don’t think I’ll have as many games this season. I don’t really think too much about that.

I want to fill the net and do what I can offensively and, at the same time, make sure our team has success.”

Stankoven has already missed four games and is likely to miss at least nine more contests if Canada reaches the gold medal game at the World Junior Hockey Championship, which wraps up on Jan. 5 in Nova Scotia.

Regina Pats’ sensation Connor Bedard has taken advantage of a head start in the WHL scoring

race, with 20 points, including nine goals, in 11 games this season.

“It’s going to be hard,” Stankoven said of catching Bedard, who last season tallied 51 goals and 100 points in 62 games.

“He’s a special player and a year older, too. That’s going to help his case. He puts up so many points and he’s a great player for them.

It’s going to be hard to keep up with a guy like that. It’s one of those things where you try and compete against him and see where things go.”

Stankoven racked up 32 goals and 72 points in 37 games (about 1.95 points per game) after the Christmas break last season and added 17 goals and 31 points in 17 post-season contests.

A year older and toting five games of NHL pre-season experience with the Stars, it’s reasonable to think Stankoven is primed for another otherworldly season — and cracking the 50-goal mark is not out of the question.

Caylah Lemon picked a peach of a time to register her second goal of the Canada West campaign, scoring the match-winning marker in a victory that secured a significant victory for her club.

With a 1-0 win over the UNBC Timberwolves on Friday in Prince George, the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team clinched a berth in the Canada West post-season for the second time since joining U Sports in 2014.

“I have nothing to say.

Speechless, basically,” Lemon said in a video clip that was posted after the match on the WolfPack’s twitter account. “I’m just so happy and proud of this team, with where we were last year and where we’ve come. I’m just super happy for the girls and the seniors.

We did it for them tonight.”

Rookie Bella Geremia had an assist on Lemon’s goal, swinging in a corner kick that sat up nicely for the WolfPack defender five minutes into the contest.

Goalkeeper Marissa Young posted her programrecord fourth shutout of the campaign for TRU, which finished its regular season slate on Saturday with a 2-1 loss to the hometown

Calgary Dinos.

Hawan Abdissa tallied the first goal of her Canada West career in a losing effort.

TRU (6-6-2), which reached the six-win mark for the first time since joining U Sports, will toil in its first post-season game since 2015 on Saturday, when the Victoria Vikes (5-5-4) come to town.

Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. under the lights at Hillside Stadium.

The WolfPack and Vikes are the fourth and fifth seeds, respectively, in the Pacific Division. The winner will advance to a quarterfinal showdown on Oct. 29

in Calgary against the No. 1 seed in the Prairie Division, the Mount Royal Cougars (10-3-1).

“The sky is the limit for this group as we move forward into the playoffs and I don’t think anyone in Canada West is going to want to play against us because we are a tough, resolute group that have a bit of belief about us,” WolfPack men’s soccer head coach Mark Pennington told TRU Sports Information.

When Pennington took the reins in 2019, TRU was 13-47-7 and had a goal differential of minus-122 since joining U Sports in 2014.

The club managed only one victory in 2021 and was 3-16-7 under Pennington heading into the 2022 campaign, which opened with a pair of losses at Hillside Stadium — 5-0 to Calgary (9-3-2) on Sept. 3 and 1-0 to UNBC (5-6-3) on Sept. 4.

The turnaround has been remarkable and included a 2-0 victory over hometown Mount Royal on Sept. 17, a result that can inspire confidence should the Pack get past the Vikes.

Victoria blanked visiting TRU 1-0 on Oct. 7 in the only regular-season meeting between the teams this season.

Private jets, steak earned, not given From A27

“It’s going to be hard,” Stankoven said with a laugh.

“After last season, a bit of a slow start goals-wise, I thought I picked it up in the second half. Hopefully, I don’t have any of those blips right away. Hopefully, I kind of fill the back of the net.

Obviously, 50 goals would be a good goal to set. I’m not really focused on it too much. If it happens, that’s awesome.”

Stankoven had two goals after five games last season with the Blazers and recorded 13 goals and 32 points in 22 games (about 1.45 points per game) before the Christmas break.

The born-andbred Kamloopsian had one assist, nine shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in five NHL exhibition games, during which he logged an average of 15 minutes and 21 seconds of ice time.

“As every game went on, I got

a little bit more comfortable,” said Stankoven, who took note of the step up in size and hockey IQ at the NHL level. “I feel like I’m 15 and 16 all over again in the WHL. It took me a few games to figure out how to score in this league and how to make plays.

As time goes on, hopefully I can get in more games and feel a bit more comfortable going into next year’s training camp.”

Stankoven appears to have

acquired a taste for The Show.

“I mean, you get treated like royalty,” Stankoven said. “You’re flying on private jets and get steak meals.

You get treated so well. It’s something you’ve got to earn.

You don’t just get it handed to you.

“I got a good first taste. Hopefully, next year, that’s the life I want to be living.”

A Memorial Cup victory on home ice would be a delectable method of sendoff to the Stars.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Abby Spratt (left) and the TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team will open their Canada West regular season on the weekend with a pair of matches against the Brandon Bobcats, with game times set for 5:30 p.m. on Friday and 3 p.m. on Saturday. Men’s matches featuring the same teams will follow both days.

The Belairdirect B.C. and Yukon Section Autumn Leaves Super Series figure skating event wrapped up on Sunday in Kamloops and featured nearly 700 athletes and 50 officials.

Skaters from host Valleyview Skating Club posted notable results.

In Star 1 action, Nissi Choi, Brynn Collins, Yna Huerto, Stella Severin and Olivia Ma earned silver.

Star 2 athletes Mikylah Shipton, Emily Tokarek, Presley Hillis and Dana Kim claimed silver.

Morgan Wells and Marti Jayne Hillis nabbed silver and Tenley McKim, Anne Colver and Hailey Traynor snared bronze in Star 3 action.

In under-13 Star 4 action, Sydnie Westran was second in Group 2; Brooklyn Leduc, Mira

From our boats to your plate, the best the ocean has to offer.

Barber and Lacey Tucker were first, eighth and ninth, respectively, in Group 4; and Nina Wells and Aliya Traynor were seventh and 10th, respectively, in Group 5.

Claire Gagnon, Mary Wall and Desiree Rebinsky competed in the 13-and-over Star 4 division. Gagnon placed first in Group 1 and Wall and Rebinsky were first and sixth, respectively, in Group 2.

In the 13-and-over Star 5 category, Libby Tucker was eighth in Group 1 and Hayley Tancock and Kathryn Heid were second and fifth, respectively, in Group 2.

Keira Bells was fourth in Group 2 Star 6, Ashlyn Wassing was 10th in under-16 pre-novice Group 3 and Bells was fifth in Star 7 Group 3.

FISHER IN FORM

The Kamloops Vibe padded their lead atop South Coast Women’s Hockey League standings on the weekend, with a pair of victories over the expansion Burnaby Mountain Capitals at Memorial Arena.

Ashley Fisher backstopped the Vibe, who knocked off the Capitals 4-1 on Saturday and 3-0 on Sunday.

Recording points on the weekend for Kamloops were Rochelle Smith (1G, 2A), Kathleen Cahoon (1G, 2A), Jenna Ormondy (1G, 1A), Kacey Seymour (1G), Natalie Knight (1G), Jaedon Cooke (1G, 1A), Sarah Botter (1G), Ts’setkwa Dunstan (1A), Melissa Brunn (1A) and Gaylene Scott (1A).

Smith is tied for first in league scoring, with seven points, including two goals, in six games. Fisher is 5-1 on the season, with a 1.33 goals-against average, and boasts a league-leading two shutouts.

The Vibe (5-1-0) are slated to play three games this weekend on the Coast, with tilts scheduled against the North Shore Rebels (1-2-1), Richmond Devils (3-1-0) and Fraser Valley Jets (1-1-0).

Burnaby Mountain dropped to 1-2-0 on the campaign.

The annual Know Your Neighbour Day Walk, which has been suspended since 2020 due to the pandemic, will return on Saturday, Oct. 22.

It will take place at 11 a.m. at the Meeting of Waters Promenade in Riverside Park.

Refreshments will be provided.

The event was started in 2012 by members of the local Sikh community, honouring the birthdate of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of the Sikh religion, and his universal message of our common humanity.

The walk was initiated as a way of bringing people together to build bridges to mutual understanding and friendship.

People of all backgrounds, creeds, faiths and ethnicities are invited to take part.

In the spirit of the walk, organizers are also asking people to check on their neighbours and shut-ins in the spirit of caring, friendship and solidarity represented by Know Your Neighbour Day.

SATURDAY OCT 29 - 9 AM TH

FOREST STEWARDSHIP PLAN #684 AMENDMENT 7 FOR THE HARVEST OF DOUGLAS-FIR BARK BEETLE DAMAGED, IMPACTED OR THREATENED TIMBER IN VISUALLY SENSITIVE AREAS NEAR BARRIERE AND LITTLEFORT Tolko’s Southern Interior Woodlands has an approved Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) #684 that encompasses the Kamloops, Merritt and Okanagan Timber Supply Areas (TSA), Tree Farm Licence #49 and a portion of the Arrow and Boundary TSAs. Each of these areas are in a Forest Development Unit (FDU) where timber harvesting and road construction activities may occur under the plan.

This amendment is for the harvest of Douglas-fir beetle damaged, impacted or threatened timber in visually sensitive areas near the communities of Barriere and Littlefort in FDU 1-Kamloops. Due to the extent of the Douglas-fir bark beetle infestations, Tolko is proposing an amendment to the FSP for Visual Quality Objectives (VQO) that would allow for the harvest of damaged or threatened timber while varying from the established objectives to the extent practicable to harvest that timber within specified extents. The viewpoint locations applicable to this amendment include Highway 5 near Littlefort and Darlington looking west and the Barriere Lakes Road looking south towards the Dixon Creek area.

The public, stakeholders, First Nations and other interested parties may provide comments specific to Tolko’s planned amendment to Section 5.19.3 “Visual Quality in Scenic Areas with a VQO” of FSP #684. Consistent with the Forest Planning and Practices Regulation Section 20(2)(d) for the expeditious harvest of damaged and infested timber and to prevent the spread of pests, this notification period has been shortened to a 10-day period to allow for road construction to commence as early as this winter. The proposed amendment will be available for Review and Comment from October 20th to 31st, 2022 at Tolko’s office listed below. Hours of viewing will be between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday excluding holidays.

Tolko Southern Interior Woodlands Office - Address & Location 6275 Old Hwy 5, Heffley Creek BC V2H 1T8 (located 2 km south of the Sun Peak turnoff) Interested persons can schedule an appointment by calling Jamie Skinner, RPF at 250-318-3779 or email jamie.skinner@tolko.com . All written comments must be received before 4:00 pm October 31st to be considered for this amendment. The FSP is available for viewing online through Tolko’s website at: http://tolkowoodlands.com/southern-interior/

BRENDA DALLA GASSA

Each Loss Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow.

So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

In our hearts, never forgotten.

Love you always Corry, Ray, Morgan, Steven, Susan and Kaitlin

Obituaries

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

Always in our hearts,

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears.

Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Obituaries

Thelma Prooi With profound sadness we announce the passing of Thelma on September 19,2022.

A loving mother, great grandmother and loyal friend to so many.

A very special woman who dedicated her life to caring for others.

The Little Unicorn

by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams.

The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light.

He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees.

He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun.

The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring...

The lonely, bitter tears.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can.

There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

Early on Stanley, or as his childhood friends called him Red (for his bright red hair), learned the value of being careful with his Pennie’s and not to be wasteful. Those traits carried on through his life with them guiding him he prospered himself. After completing high school where he was known for his athletic and mechanical aptitude, he started working towards becoming a journeyman plumber through an apprenticeship at Hancock Plumbing and Heating. During this time he married his High School Sweetheart Elaine (Muir) and soon after had their first son Trent, followed by another son Blair, then daughters, Cheryl and Helen. Stan worked as a plumber for a variety of Companies including, Hancocks, Matheson Brothers, and the Potash Mines in Langenburg and Esterhazy.

During this time he studied for and apprenticed for a number of professional tickets and licenses including, Pipefitting, Sheet Metal, Welding, Gas Fitting and others. Stan would often jest he was a “jack of all trades and master of none”. He has always been known for his wry sense of humour and witty sayings.

In the early Seventies, Stan or as most referred to him then “Buck” headed out to BC on his own and began working in and around the Michelle, Elkford and Fernie area. After several years, he was provided an opportunity to teach Plumbing and Pipefitting at Kelsey College in Saskatoon. It was there he met his second wife Lois (Lowe) and together they raised her two children, Loyd and Lorie.

However, British Columbia kept calling and they moved to Sparwood, but soon after work opportunities took them to Colestrip, Montana and then on to St John New Brunswick for a couple year stint in each location. Again they returned to BC this time settling in and building a house in Elkford. There Stan worked for Fording Coal Company. After working there for several years he was provided with an opportunity to become a Gas Inspector for the BC Government in the Kamloops Region.

Shortly after accepting this challenge he purchased a small piece of land at Cherry Creek where he toiled for years to install irrigation and turned the dry, sparsely treed land into an oasis of thriving fruit, nut, shade trees and hedges. There he tended his Greenhouse, kept a large garden and raised the chickens that he became well known for.

Love your family.

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.

Stanley, or to most of his friends Stan, passed away quietly and peacefully at The Kamloops Hospital on October 9th, 2022. There were nine of his Family who were able to be by his side as he passed. Stan was born December 16th, 1934, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. He was the second of three sons born to Marius Buchholz and Alexandra Buchholz (Pudzalvina). Both of his parents emigrated several years before his birth and worked hard to establish a loving and prosperous home despite the challenges they face during the “Dirty Thirties” in Saskatchewan.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do.

That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start.

Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.”

His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

While working as a gas inspector he was recognized for his investigative work identifying the cause of a fatal, destructive fire at a motel in Kamloops. Stan contributed to ensuring future events of this nature could be prevented. After his second marriage ended he maintained and further developed his property until 2021, when he moved into Kamloops.

Stanley was recently honoured for 50 years of service as a Plumber and Pipefitter, an honour few have had bestowed upon them.

Over the years he established contact and travelled overseas to meet his Father’s Family in Denmark. He kept in contact with them and toured them around Western Canada when they visited him.

Stan spent many winters at the “Slabs” in California with the LoW (Loners on Wheels) Crew, while down south he also visited his very close friends, Loree and Diane Edmunds in Garden City California.

Stan is predeceased by his parents Marius and Alexandra, and brother Allan, he is survived by his brother Edward (Beverley), son Blair Buchholz, Daughter Hellen Pearce, grandchildren Jackie Pearce, Jenny Robbins, Robert Pearce, Carey Pearce, Amber Buchholz, Brodie Tulloch (Jameylea), Aren Buchholz, Braedon Tulloch, and great grandchildren, Keana Hayward, Jewlz Robbins, R.J. Pearce, Callum Tulloch and Kaeden Tulloch, nieces and nephews Karen Hilton, Derick Buchholz, Carla Buchholz, Bryan Buchholz and their children.

Stanley was a man of integrity, honour and generosity. He gave of himself freely and never asking for anything in return. He will be missed by all his family and friends.

As per Stanley’s request his remains will be interned with his parents and his brother at the Yorkton Cemetery at a date yet to be determined.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

AMBER HARDY 1993 - 2022

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Amber Hardy of Kamloops, BC, on October 5th, 2022, at 29 years of age.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. You advised most people not to prepay.

Doesn’t prepaying give my family peace of mind?

A. For some people it’s terrific. But two things can go haywire. First, Mom tells the kids “It’s all paid for...” But some parts aren’t guaranteed! So the family’s mad.

Second, when you prepay you lose control of that money. What if you need it for something? Give us a call.

Donald Lee Sandner Don Sandner, Dad and Grandpa to us, passed away September 29, 2022 after a short illness. The family would like to thank the professionalism and compassion shown by the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital Emergency Room. He was predeceased by his wife, our Mom and Grandma, Roberta Sandner who passed in May 2020. He is survived by sons Lionel and David (Mila) and grandsons Rhys (Oksana), Gareth, and Owen.

Dad was born in Vancouver on November 21, 1930. At four years old he moved to Christina Lake and joined the Sandner family. Growing up in the Kootenays, Dad worked at the Sandner Bros. Sawmill; at school, he was known for his running skills and the first person in the area to have contact lenses. Upon graduation from High School, he moved to Northern BC working on the CN railway as a telegraph operator. As technology changed, Dad moved to Kamloops where he met Mom at a Dance Hall in Brocklehurst. Meeting at that Dance Hall started a 58year marriage that included a family of two sons, loads of camping adventures and trips to Saskatchewan and Disneyland. Dad loved the outdoors. He completed several marathons in Kamloops, Vancouver, and Seattle, as well as spending many days fishing or hiking. His other passion was Kamloops: in his later years, you could find him having coffee with friends, traveling on the city buses and spending time visiting Mom when she was in long term care.

Dad has been very fortunate to have neighbors Betty and Tim for support. They will remember his infectious smile and calls from the backdoor to help him find everything from his cane to his hearing aids. Dad was lucky to have them there. For the past few years, Kristy had become his main caregiver. She saw him as someone who never gave up on life, despite his major struggles. We are all glad Kristy was there for him. Dad also had excellent medical care from Dr. Cribb and her receptionist Diane. The time and effort they took every visit with Dad is an example of what medical care should be for all in BC. Dad had the unending support of his community. We’d like to acknowledge his neighbours and friends, the United Church, the BC Transit Bus Drivers, the Kamloops Outdoor Club, the White Cane Society, CNIB, the audiobook staff at Kamloops Public Library, Kamloops Shriners and Kiwanis Clubs and the team at Scott’s Motel Restaurant and Denny’s. All of you helped Dad in your own way: getting him to the bus when he was lost, driving him home when he fell or helping him pay with his credit card. You are the soul of Kamloops, and you make this city great. We thank all of you.

We’re sending our love as you begin your next adventure.

Patrick Kayo Woitas

March 17, 1939 - October 4, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Father, Patrick, Dad passed early Tuesday morning on October 4, 2022. He was 83 years old.

Dad is survived by his three sons, Brent, Brad, Shawn, his sister Bonnie and our mother, Marita. Pat also has four Wonderful Grand Kids, Lexis (Brent) and Alana, Colton, and Kyle (Shawn and Geri). Pat was preceded by his parents, Tom and Mahtilda Woitas and his siblings Louise, LaVaughn, and Gary.

Pat came west with Marita from Saskatchewan, to raise a family and work in the Oil and Gas Industry. Pat and Marita started in Fort St. John, BC, then Lac Le Hache and finally settled in Kamloops where we call home.

Dads’ passion for sports spilled down the line, especially in hockey and golf. We also spent countless hours skating, snowmobiling, and fishing in the outdoors.

A special thank you to the Overlander Extended Care Facility for the staffs’ incredible hard work and compassion in the care of our father Patrick Woitas.

In lieu of any and all gifts and or flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer and the Dementia society.

Emanuel “Manny” Coelho April 26th, 1965 - October 11th, 2022

On October 11th, 2022 Emanuel (Manny) Coelho passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC at the age of 57 years old. Manny is survived by his loving mother and lifetime caregiver, Maria Coelho, sister and caregiver Goretty Rogers who left her long time home in Canmore, AB to assist her mother in his care and sister Filomena (Rick) Sanchez of Kamloops, brothers Walter Coelho of Kelowna and Steve (Angela) Coelho of Kamloops. He is also survived by his aunt Gabriela (Costante) Munegatto of Kamloops, nieces Rhiannon Rogers of Calgary & Lysia Ternier of Kamloops, and nephews Malcolm Rogers of Calgary, Richard Sanchez, Jordan Sanchez & Aidan Ternier of Kamloops.

Emanuel was born in Kamloops in 1965 but lived in 70 Mile House with his family until 1973 then moved to Kamloops to be closer to community services to help support him and the family. He resided at Tranquille Institution from 1980 to 1983 upon recommendation of community support doctors at the time. Manny loved going for walks in the Pleasant Street area of South Kamloops with his father, George, attended Aberdeen Services for day outings, loved going for car rides and could always be found chasing sunny spots to have naps in. He also had very fast hands when it came to food so his brothers and sisters always had to beware. Manny lived out his days in the care of his parents and siblings in the family home on Pleasant Street and taught us all many things about patience, unconditional love, inclusion, perseverance and compassion that were unique to knowing Manny.

The Coelho, Sanchez & Rogers families would like to express their deepest gratitude to the amazing nursing staff in Emergency and on 5 South at Royal Inland Hospital and thank Dr. Arduini, Dr. Brar, Dr. Rollheiser, Dr. Cindrich, Dr. Varma, Dr. Kelly, Dr. Prelypchan, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. DeWet, Dr. Malan, and last but definitely not least Dr. Raath for all of their care and compassion as we know that Manny is a very complex individual when it comes to health needs.

Emil Victor Jurista Emil Victor Jurista - beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and true friend - passed away “his way” with grace and dignity, maintaining his cheeky sense of humor and his unselfish character, surrounded by his 4 children October 7, 2022, at the age of 90.

Emil was born in Elrose, Saskatchewan May 26th, 1932, lived between the family farm in the summer and Laura, Saskatchewan in the winter. There were seven children in his family, and Emil was fourth born. He left home at 15 years old to follow his hockey dreams playing Junior hockey in Wetaskiwin, followed shortly after signing with the Moose Jaw Canucks 1950 – 1953. Unfortunately he sustained a serious right eye injury ending his ability to play professional hockey. Meeting his future wife Beth in Moose Jaw they married in the early fifties, and soon after began his plumbing career. They welcomed their first child Ed in 1955, and in short work their family grew to three with the blessing of Tom in 1958 and Donnie in 1961.

Leaving Saskatchewan in 1965, for warmer winters and better business opportunities, Emil moved his family to Kamloops where he lived and worked for 57 years. It was in Kamloops where their daughter Beverly was born that same year.

They lived in the same home in Brocklehurst throughout. Many know of this happy place, where memories laughter and fun were had by all who ventured through these doors. His company Stellar Heating and Plumbing gave Kamloops 40 years of quality service.

Through the years he enjoyed curling, both competitively, and socially with his three sons. Emil was an active member of the BC Curling Association, Kinsman, K-40, S.I.C.A. (Southern Interior Construction Association) and the Masons. He spent countless hours through these organizations, volunteering for many community projects and events making a better community.

The Rube Band of Kamloops was always dear to Emil, and he would often speak highly of them as they too were ambassadors for Kamloops. Emil enjoyed providing for his family by way of a home garden with its bounty. He kept the tradition passed down by his father, and always planted the first potato on Good Friday.

Emil was predeceased by his wife Beth Jurista, his two brothers Ted and Jim and his two sisters Nelda and Clara. He is survived by his children: Ed (Angela) Jurista of Kamloops, Tom (Kym) Jurista of Kamloops, Don (Janet) Jurista of Kamloops, Bev (Ben) Proskiw of Kelowna, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his sisters Doreen and Audrey in Saskatchewan, their families, and many nieces and nephews.

He is already missed by many, but the thousands of memories, his laughter and his wit will remain with us forever.

A Special thanks to all the great nurses and care aids with Interior Health Home Care Services and Kamloops Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

Memorial Donations may be made to: Kamloops Hospice Association.

Kelby James Price

March 26, 1977 - October 12, 2022 It is with an immense sadness the family shares the sudden and unexpected passing of Kelby Price of Scotch Creek BC. He passed peacefully in his sleep while on his dream golf vacation in Mexico with his close friend.

Kelby was an amazing father, son, brother, and close friend to so many. His presence, witty sense of humor and loving nature will be forever missed.

Survived by his beautiful 7-year-old daughter Madelyn and her mom Amanda, mother Bev (stepfather Wayne), stepmother Leanne, brothers Brad (sister-in-law Kristy, niece Carissa, nephew Aidan), Jamin (nephew Devin), Kenton (brother-in-law Mike), stepsister Jessica (brother-in-law Tom, nephew Sloan, niece Raegan), his loving extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his large extended network of close friends.

Kelby is predeceased by his grandmother Anna in 2016, and grandfather Leonard and his dear father Bernie in 2017.

Born in Trail BC, Kelby spent the early years of his life in Logan Lake before moving to Kamloops in 1990. After high school, he began his career operating heavy equipment which has spanned many years and locations including Kelowna, Fort St John, Fort Nelson, Prince George, and Fort McMurray. However, the Kamloops area was always home and he was finally able to move back in 2010. Kelby loved and was amazing at his job and has always been regarded as a top operator by his peers.

Kelby found deep solace in meditation, yoga, and healthy living over the last few years. He had a passion for sports, including snowmobiling, hockey, golfing, skiing, kayaking and tennis, where he always seemed to be the best no matter what the sport was. He also loved being on the boat in the Shuswap.

His huge heart was his best quality, and he always reminded us to be gentle and kind to others. We ask you honor his memory by doing something kind for someone, even a stranger.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday Oct 29th at the Delta Kamloops Hotel from 2-5PM. We encourage all of those who wish to see the family, share a story, or simply pay their respects to join us.

John Drury Webber

June 2, 1947 - October 7, 2022

A sincere thank you to John’s cousin, Eric Webber and his daughter, Dr. Alina Webber; fellow musicians, Jim Cochran, Richard Allen, and Claudette Laffey; Crystal Scott; former band member, Kevin Grant; and to Vincent Kong, for his unwavering support over the years.

John loved all furry (and non-furry!) animals and donations to the SPCA would be one of his wishes.

ALS is a devastating disease. John currently is the 8th family member on the maternal side of his family to have contracted this disease. A cure needs to be found. Any donations to the ALS Society of Canada, great and small, would be so appreciated.

Our sincerest appreciation to our family physician, Dr. Susan Vlahos, and her staff for listening and assisting us with this journey; you made it much easier. Our gratitude is also extended to Dr. Gurpreet Khakh. To Tara and Dr. Keeve de Villiers: Thank you for your wonderful, compassionate care of John.

There will be no service as per John’s wishes.

When asked about the experience of dealing with ALS, John replied with his characteristic humour, “It only hurts when I laugh” …and then he laughed.

It was his best medicine.

To all of John’s decades of music students:

You have been steadfast friends and that meant a lot to him.

John is survived by the love of his life and wife of 51 years, Linda; his beloved children, Brett (Kaoru Shimizu) of Ina, Nagano, Japan, and Bonnie (Martin) Scherrer of Kamloops, B.C.; and the grandchildren he so deeply adored, Masaya & Haruki Shimizu, and Samuel & Elise Scherrer.

I am not there, I did not die!

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

John is survived by many other family and friends, and we sincerely thank them for all their strong and loving support.

To honour him, pick up your sticks and rock out to some music, or use whatever is available to tap out a beat.

John would like that.

Love is forever, and you will always be my Johnnie Angel.

I am the swift, uplifting rush

John was intensely proud of his family and always held them as his crowning achievement!

BY MARY FRYE (1932)

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP

In 1970 John moved to Kamloops to play in the house band at Andy's Hideaway, one of Kamloops’ first night spots. From there he moved to the house band at Tab’s Cabida, which he later managed. He then partnered with Bill Filek in one of Kamloops’ leading music stores, Filek Sound, and later with Lee Miltimore in Foundation Music and Lee’s Music. He established the weekend dance band, The King Trio, bringing music to Kamloops and other parts of the province. He also played with the Kamloops Intruders show band for two seasons. In the 1990s he evolved to DJing. In the 2000s John started his own drum company, Time Tech Drums, crafting and assembling custom drum kits. John was a highly

He loved weight training, fly-fishing, and playing pool. At a very early age John developed a unique fondness for hand-made knives and throughout his lifetime, bought and sold several quality pieces. He and Linda also shared a love for and interest in antiques and amassed a very comprehensive collection. He loved studying the art of Rembrandt and was a prolific reader and collector of John Steinbeck books. John was intelligent, highly competitive, and had a keen interest in other people’s views and thoughts. He also had a quick wit and a unique sense of humour. He was strongly opinionated, which could get a little lively, but thankfully, would always listen to the sound reasoning of his wife!

I am not there, I do not sleep.

John was a drummer; it was in his DNA, and once released, was unstoppable. He bought his first drum kit at age 14 and with this, his future was sealed. He began lessons with a local teacher, Vic Guidone. Soon after, he joined a local Abbotsford dance band. He was later invited to join the Briars, a Chilliwack band who, in 1967, won the local Armstrong “Battle of the Bands.” Craving more drum knowledge, John eventually graduated to Vancouver, and Canada's premiere drum teacher and authority, Jim Blackley. Through that association, John began playing Vancouver night clubs while just in his late teens. This became his musical education. Not only did he back some “unusual” acts, but he also played behind some top performers of the time and with some of Vancouver's best musicians. John valued the sights and sounds of the Vancouver music scene, as well as the grounding it gave him for a wide variety of musical genres, jazz being his favourite. Every cent that John earned playing went either to gas for the trips back and forth to Vancouver, or to the ring he was saving toward for Linda!

respected drum authority and taught private drum lessons for some 48 years. He also instructed for two seasons at K.I.S.S.M. and, for the last seven years of his teaching career, at Long & McQuade studios. He felt each student was unique and firmly believed that learning a musical instrument could instill confidence in the shyest child. John also had infinite compassion for those with disabilities.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

John was the middle son of parents Hilton and Madeleine Webber (predeceased) and was born and raised in Abbotsford, B.C. Joseph (predeceased) was his older brother, and Brian the youngest.

His fondest memories were fishing in the back creek and those endless summers spent at Birch Bay.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT MARCH SET FOR OCT. 20 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The annual Take Back the Night march in solidarity against sexual violence will take place this week in downtown Kamloops.

The event is scheduled to be held on Thursday, Oct. 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., beginning at St. Andrews on the Square, at Seymour Street and Second Avenue.

Thursday’s walk will be the first in-person event since 2019, with the pandemic preventing gatherings in 2021 and 2020.

Take Back the Night is a global movement by the Take Back the Night Foundation, a volunteer non-profit organization that was created in Philadelphia in the 1970s.

The movement quickly grew to into a tribunal council of women from more than 40 countries and is now used by activists to raise awareness, support survivors and end sexual violence.

Organizers note sexual violence is perpetrated against people from all walks of life, but disproportionately impacts women, transgender people and those in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, with almost half of all acts of sexual violence going unreported.

“Last year, rates of sexual violence in Canada were at an all-time high since the mid-

1990s,” said Darcy Gorrill, the women’s outreach co-ordinator at Kamloops Immigrant Services and an advocate for ending sexual violence.

“We need to raise awareness, keep our community safe and work together to put an end to sexual violence. The Take Back the Night march bring the community together to support survivors and create a safer environment for Kamloopsians. We are showing our city that sexual violence will not be tolerated. It will be stopped.”

Thursday’s Take Back the Night event has been organized by the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, the Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society, the Kamloops YWCA and Kamloops Immigrant Services.

The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with participants making signs and posters to carry on the march. Marchers will be provided with snacks and drinks. The march will begin at 6:30 p.m., following a circuitous route that start and finish at St. Andrews on the Square, where speakers and entertainers will present until 8:30 p.m.

There will be marshals directing the path of the march, but participants are reminded to take caution to keep themselves safe by being aware of their surroundings. All are welcome to take part.

In Kamloops, a New Tomorrow for treatment HELENA PAIVINEN SPECIAL TO KTW

L

ast week, I attended a lively community engagement and informational barbecue session at New Tomorrow Treatment Solutions Adult Recovery Centre, which is located in Brocklehurst.

Dr. Mandy Manak is CEO of New Tomorrow and a decadeslong advocate of, and consistent player in, substance-use disorder services. Manak is founding principle and medical director of the Interior Chemical Dependency Office. She was initially a lab tech before returning to medical school to become one of Kamloops leading addictions specialist MDs. Manak leads and participates in writing successful proposals to secure public funding for addictionrecovery programs and centres, including New Tomorrow, which has been a long time in the making.

I first met Manak more than a decade ago, while she was still a medical resident in Kamloops, and spoke to her about her desire to create more addiction services locally.

New Tomorrow is located on Greenfield Avenue, a street in a quiet North Shore neighbourhood, just off from Singh Street. The new building was initially developed as a retirement centre, but has since been repurposed to become a community-based, adult addictions/ recovery centre.

The centre is spacious, bright and accessible to all as a ramp offers an alternative to those who cannot climb stairs. Inside the airy building are several new spaces, including a well-equipped weight gym and a private suite for mothers with children. An outdoor courtyard with tables and sitting areas provides a calm, green natural space in which families, residents and staff can visit.

At the community engagement and informational barbecue were families, people in recovery, social workers, nurses, Coun. Bill Sarai, addiction support staff and contractors who helped construct and renovate the building.

Community engagement appears to be key for New Tomorrow.

At the open house, I heard stories about how the Kamloops recovery community has already stepped up to provide support and offer 12-step meetings at the centre. Several people at the open house shared their past personal stories with me, ones that have inspired and motivated them to become part of the solution to help others create, a New Tomorrow.

An exhibition of daycare and art KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

What might happen when children and educators think differently about the place they live in? Could engagements with place offer a new vision for quality child care in Kamloops?

At Kamloops Child Development Centre, one of the city’s $10-a-day ChildCareBC Centres, educators and children are working with an Early Childhood Pedagogy Network (ECPN) pedagogist to explore these questions and, in the process, create their own version of quality child care. Through Dec. 31, a visual story of their transformational curriculum work is on display at the Kamloops Art Gallery’s Open Gallery.

The exhibition, Dialogues with The Gathering Tree, narrates the children’s efforts over four seasons

to live well with a 50-year-old maple tree in the centre of their yard.

Drawing in the company of the tree, children reimagined their relations with the world and its inhabitants.

Visitors to the Dialogues with The Gathering Tree exhibition are invited to participate in this ongoing project by contributing their own drawings. Sketchbooks and instructions are available at the Open Gallery.

The Kamloops Child Development Centre educators and ECPN pedagogist leading this project will be at the Dialogues with The Gathering Tree exhibition on Thursday, Oct. 20, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. for a welcoming event.

All are welcome. Registration is encouraged, online at https:// tinyurl.com/kzap89tw.

ALWAYS BOARD ON PACIFIC WAY The Kamloops Longboard Club held its eighth annual birthday bash this past Saturday, celebrating the birth of the world’s first — and still only — dedicated longboard park.

The event featured prizes, head-to-head racing, skill contests on the black run, endurance races and mystery challenges.

The longboard park, at 2350 Pacific Way in Aberdeen, is suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Remember — always wear your helmet.

DON’T FORGET TO RENEW YOUR DOG LICENCE BY END OF YEAR KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops dog owners will soon begin receiving their 2023 dog licence renewal notices.

Those who have opted to receive e-bills have been sent an email, while those who receive paper notices will receive them in their mailboxes.

Dog owners are reminded that dog licence fees are due on Jan. 1, 2023. Any unpaid fees on the account for 2022 or previous years will be carried over to the 2023 invoice. Any payment made after Jan. 1 will automatically have a late payment penalty of $32.50 applied to the account. Remember that municipal offices will be closed

on New Year’s Day and Monday, January 2, for in-person payments.

Dog owners are reminded of recent changes to the dog licensing program and options for payment: • A variety of payment options are available through the city’s online payment portal. Pay for your licence online at Kamloops. ca/PayOnline via credit card, Visa/Mastercard Debit or Interac Online. Those who want to pay in person may do so at the North Shore Community Policing Office (915 Seventh St. or downtown at Kamloops City Hall (7 Victoria Street W.).

• Register with MyCity to add a dog licence account and receive your annual renewal licence notice

electronically. MyCity provides homeowners with access to detailed account information for taxes, utilities, dog and business licence accounts, payment processing and access to current and past bills and account payment history. Register at Kamloops.ca/MyCity.

• Register with e-Apply. Dog owners who are registering a dog with the city for the first time can register their dog’s information and pay online at Kamloops.ca/ MyCity from home.

Residents are reminded that if a significant change in dog ownership occurs, the dog owner must contact Community Services by phone at 250-828-3409 or by email at communityservices@kamloops.ca to

have the animal removed from the database and to be withdrawn from the licence renewal process. This step is not available online.

Within city limits, all dogs six months or older require a licence.

The reason for registering?

• It provides a dog identification service that allows the city to help with reuniting with your dog if it is lost or stolen; • It provides statistics on the number of dogs within the city to better assess the need for facilities and programs; • For every annual licence fee, $5 is reserved for future additions and upgrades to dog parks within the city; • Owners of licensed dogs save

costs on fines and penalty fees; • Licence revenue helps support animal control and regulatory services associated with pet ownership.

Dog licence fees include: $65.00 for each un-neutered or un-spayed dog; $30 for each neutered or spayed dog; $15 for a replacement tag; $32.50 is the late payment penalty; $105 for each kennel or hobby kennel; $105 for each nuisance and/ or potentially dangerous dog; $205 for each aggressive dog.

Out-of-town dog licences are not valid, however, a replacement licence is available for any dog currently licensed in another municipality at a cost of $15.

For more information, go online to kamloops.ca/dogs.

BC SPCA offering half-price adoption fees to Oct. 29 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The BC SPCA is offering 50 per cent off adoption fees for all animals, including horses and other farm critters, through 29 to help free up space in its locations for incoming animals who need help.

The adoption promotion is presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.

“We have so many animals in our care who are looking for loving homes,” said Adrienne McBride of the BC SPCA. “In addition to finding families for these amazing pets, we want to make sure we have space open in our facilities and our foster homes for other animals who need a warm, safe place to stay as the colder weather approaches.”

Each year, the BC SPCA rescues thousands of homeless, abused and neglected animals, including cats, kittens, dogs,

puppies, rabbits, horses, pigs, goats and other farm animals.

Those interested in adopting a new best friend can view all of the animals available for adoption across B.C. online at spca.bc.ca/adopt or visit the nearest BC SPCA community animal centre during regular hours.

In Kamloops, the community animal centre is at 2816 Tranquille Rd. in Brocklehurst, across from Kamloops Airport. It can be reached at 250-376-7722.

Relaying a story of reconciliation

I

n the Book of Mormon, Ammon, Aaron, Omner and Himni were four brothers who gave up everything they were entitled to receive in order to spend the rest of their lives working to repair damage they had done to their society.

I want to share their story and their efforts at reconciliation to show an example of what some have done in the past to reconcile hurt — and to encourage contemplation of ways we might make reconciliation for the hurt we’ve caused others.

These four brothers lived somewhere in the Americas, around 90 BC, and were the sons of the Nephite king Mosiah. As heirs to their throne, they were entitled to everything their nation had to offer. Their father was a beloved king, a warrior, a forward-thinking leader and the prophet of God among the Nephites.

In the early years of their lives, these brothers rejected and fought against belief in Jesus Christ. Although the Book of Mormon is silent on details about their efforts, it’s clear they journeyed the kingdom in wrath, determined to snuff out all faith in Jesus Christ and any hope of the prophecies about him.

A terrifying and unexpected visit from an angel changed them. The angel’s earth- and life-shaking message left their friend unconscious for days and had them all reconsidering their lives and beliefs. They found personal healing in Jesus Christ and — considering the damage they had caused in the kingdom — determined they needed to clean up their mess.

They travelled the kingdom “zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done.” They worked hard, confessed their sins to the people, published their stories among them and explained everything they had learned to anyone that would listen. Their dedicated and zealous efforts at reconciliation brought much peace within their father’s kingdom.

Years later, as they proved they understood the pain they had caused and knew how to reconcile people and bring peace, they took their reconciliation efforts a step further.

ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD FOUND ON B7

You Gotta Have

FAITH

They approached their father and asked if they could be permitted to travel to the land of their nation’s enemies, the Lamanites. They hoped to make meaningful steps to reconcile the hatred, history and murders that existed in the past and present between their nations.

With approval from their father and promises of safety from God, they left behind their promising futures as heirs to the throne and began their journey.

Unlike the damage they had caused and repaired in their own kingdom, the damage between the Nephites and Lamanites wasn’t caused by them, personally. It was the kind of damage that had festered for centuries and become systemic prejudice.

Instead of approaching the situation as past Nephites had, by preaching Jesus to the Lamanites, they did as Jesus would do. They trusted God to protect them and asked leaders of Lamanite cities how they might be of service.

Their efforts and stories are numerous and too lengthy to detail here, but their simple beginnings were the first important steps toward eventually restoring the Nephites and Lamanites in unity, decades later.

With the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation being marked recently here in Canada, I thought it appropriate to share the story of these brothers. They lived in a different time and culture, but their lifelong, zealous dedication to giving up the worldly honours they deserved in order to work on the process of reconciliation is timelessly relevant and inspiring.

They learned to understand the pain they had caused the

people around them. Whether among the people they had personally hurt or among the people their ancestors had hurt, they listened and sensitively asked questions until they discovered and felt empathy for what was hurting.

They learned how to be part of the healing process and practised what they learned.

This particular story is a Christian one, where traditionally Christian themes are highlighted. Alongside those themes are demonstrations of humility, sensitivity, presence, validating feelings, listening and expressing good tidings of personal worthiness and value.

Lastly, they learned that reconciliation is often bigger than only you and the people you hurt.

As they grew and were part of repairing their damage in their community, they recognized they were part of a system that was hurting more than

the people they had personally hurt. They eventually looked for ways that they could help reconciliation go even further, and found ways to make that possible.

I invite you to contemplate what these brothers learned about reconciliation and consider courageously taking a first step of your own toward healing — whether among your own loved ones or in our community.

The Book of Mormon stories of these brothers can be found in Mosiah chapter 27, then in Alma chapter 17 and onwards.

Your leadership skills will be on display this week, Leo. People at work and at home will call on you to make decisions and guide them through various situations.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

The theme of this week is “opposites” for you, Gemini. If you’re a normally tidy person, you’ll leave a mess behind. If you are prompt, you will arrive late. It could be refreshing.

Virgo, this week you could come up with a new plan to make a big difference in the world. It may start with an assignment at work or be inspired by volunteering.

OCTOBER19-OCTOBER25,2022 LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20

Libra, try to learn as much about the people around you as possible.

They may share strategies that can affect your life in many positive ways.

Start asking the right questions.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Try not to hide in the shadows this week, Capricorn. This is your time to be in the spotlight and show others what you are made of. A spark will inspire you to act.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

You may need to brush up on your charm skills, Scorpio. Sometimes you come at people at full force.

You could benefit from employing a more slow and steady approach.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Getting back into the swing of things after time away can take a little while, Aquarius. You may have forgotten some steps or feel out of practice.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Sometimes you can be naturally shy and quiet, Sagittarius. This week show others what lies beneath that quiet surface. Use your voice and get others excited about your thoughts.

You’re used to dealing with situations as they arise, Pisces. Plan ahead for what you anticipate will come along this week.
