Dhaliwal’s focus is on city taxpayers JESSICA WALLACE

f Ray Dhaliwal becomes mayor, he would have a rip-roarin’ 66th birthday (which happens to be election day, Oct. 15), park his lime green Barracuda at city hall and get to work helping residents impacted by crime.

Dhaliwal — a Brocklehurst resident who owns Ray’s Lock and Key downtown, hosts Canada Day festivities at Riverside Park and previously served on council — said residents should vote for him to tackle safety and security. Dhaliwal said he deals with people through his business who are “fed up.” He is not the only candidate running to tackle street issues. However, Dhaliwal said he is not worried about vote-splitting with fellow candidate Reid HamerJackson because Hamer-Jackson is focussed on establishing recovery.

“Too much focus is on the drug addicts, the homelessness down there,” Dhaliwal said. “Not enough attention has been paid to you and me, the regular citizens, taxpaying citizens — and that’s who I’d like to represent, is those people and get our city back living again.”

Dhaliwal also noted a need for good-paying jobs for young people and support for family amenities, including pools and ice rinks, to help prevent young people from getting into trouble.

Dhaliwal previously intended to run a slate of candidates under the Action 22 Kamloops banner, which was registered with Elections BC. He said the slate was started in

January because he wanted to see change on council, but noted that since then, a significant number of incumbent councillors have announced they will not run. He said the slate is no longer necessary and that he is now running as a “sole candidate.”

Dhaliwal was a city councillor from 2017 to 2018, having won a seat in a byelection. He accused previous city councillors and staff of bullying during his time on council. He cited a closeddoor resolution that he claimed strong-armed the Kamloops Multicultural Society, of which he is president, via funding and not being put on the city’s community services committee (overseeing police), despite having spoken out about crime during his campaign.

Dhaliwal said he is not worried about starting off with rocky relationships, noting he would begin his term as mayor by having conversations about issues.

Dhaliwal failed his re-election

bid in 2018 and spent the least ($200) of all candidates on his campaign, according to Elections BC. Dhaliwal finished 730 votes behind Bill Sarai, who took the eighth and final council seat.

Dhaliwal said he is putting in more money and effort during this election campaign.

He is also involved with the Kamloops and District Chamber of Commerce, the North Shore Business Improvement Association and the Kamloops Brock Central Lions Club.

Dhaliwal, whose dad worked at a Chrysler dealership, is also a car collector and has eight collector vehicles.

His campaign car is a bright , lime green 1970 AAR Barracuda, which is a highly sought-after collector’s vehicle. Dhaliwal hopes to one day park the ‘Cuda in the mayor’s parking spot, off First Avenue.

“My bedroom was that colour in 1970,” he said.

Three advance voting days: Oct. 5, 8 and 12 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

There will be more voting stations and mail-in ballots will be available in this fall’s civic election as the City of Kamloops is aiming to create the most accessible election ever.

Kamloopsians head to the polls on Oct. 15 to elect their next mayor, eight councillors and five school trustees. This year, they will only have to be residents of Kamloops for a single day in order to vote as provincial legislation

has been updated, removing the 30-day residency requirement.

Electors, however, must still have been residents of B.C. for at least six months to vote, while a 30-day timeline still applies for non-resident property electors.

Also new in the legislation is that it permits all eligible voters to choose mail-in ballot voting. In past years, mail-in ballot eligibility was limited to people who were unable to attend a voting place inperson.

Registration for mail-in ballots

CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022 began on Sept. 6. After Oct. 2, any requests for mail-in ballots will only be available at city hall due to time restraints.

As for this year’s polling sta-

tions, two new locations have been added.

The city usually only operates one advance polling station for three days: Heritage House, downtown in Riverside Park. Another one has been added for this fall’s election, on the North Shore at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Advance voting days are on Oct. 5, Oct. 8 and Oct. 12.

McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre was selected as a polling place as it is located along a bus route and is accessible to

anyone with mobility issues.

As for the general voting day, the city typically has 16 stations, but has added a 17th, at Juniper elementary.

On general voting day, Oct. 15, all in-person polling places will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and transit will be free on that day.

Special voting opportunities will be available at care homes and at Thompson Rivers University, the schedule for which is still being determined and will be posted online at kamloops.ca/election.

Ballot battles in nearby TNRD electoral areas From A1

Ranta is facing incumbent Mayor Santo Talarico and incumbent councillors Annette Pitman and Wendy Coomber.

In Clearwater, Mayor Merlin Blackwell is being challenged by Dean Clifford.

In Merritt, Mayor Linda Brown has three challengers: incumbent Coun. Tony Luck and former councillors Mike Gaetz and Mike Bhangu.

In School District 73, 11 candidates are seeking five City of Kamloops trustee seats, while the remaining four school board seats will see incumbent rural trustees acclaimed, as they have no challengers. These include Diane Jules in the Chase area, Rhonda Kershaw in the Barriere area, Cara McKelvey in the Savona area and Shelley Sim in the Clearwater area.

In the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, the three electoral areas that border Kamloops

will feature ballot battles, with incumbents in all three areas not seeking re-election.

Electoral Area L (which includes the area south and east of Kamloops, including Knutsford and Pritchard) has Doug Haughton facing John Taylor. Electoral Area P (which includes areas and north of Kamloops, including Paul Lake, Pinantan Lake and Heffley Creek) has Lee Morris facing Carla Barrett.

A call for better sexual health ed SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Some parents within School District 73 are concerned about the level of sexual health education their children are receiving — something district administrators are hoping will be addressed with a new plan to train teachers across multiple grades.

An organization of parents has called on SD73 to provide more consistent and equitable sexual health education to the district’s students, citing survey data that shows some troubling outcomes to make their point.

The SD73 district parentadvisory council (DPAC) said data from the 2018 McCreary Centre Adolescent Health Survey shows students ages 12 to 18 in the region are more likely to have had sex and to have experienced sexual harassment and dating violence at higher rates than the provincial average.

That age group also shows declining contraception use.

The group presented the data to the Kamloops-Thompson board of education in April and has also met with district staff.

“We feel like there’s a real disconnect between how the district

understands this issue and how we understand this issue because there has not been one parent who has seen this data and not been really concerned,” said Martha Solomon, who is part of the DPAC sexual health education committee that was formed to tackle the issue.

Solomon, a sexual health educator herself, said the plan SD73 has come up with is not sufficient and doesn’t address what she calls a crisis situation.

“We say it needs to be done now and they say they have a long-term plan to address it. That’s where the disconnect lies,” she said.

District co-ordinator Alex Inglis, who is working on training SD73 teachers as part of the plan to address sexual health education, said she knows it can be a difficult topic for teachers to tackle.

Inglis said training is underway for Grade 8 and Grade 9 physical and health education teachers, with training for Grade 7 teachers later this fall and for grades 4 to 7 teachers next spring.

“It’s all about normalizing these conversations so teachers become another trusted adult in the building who can have these conversations on a more regular basis, so if students have questions, they can

turn to their teachers,” she said.

Vessy Mochikas, assistant superintendent for inclusive education, said the new plan will mean sexual health education is consistent across the district.

“We feel we have a very robust, inclusive, comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum that fits with what the Ministry of Education requirements are, that is beefed up by excellent resources, community partners and mentorship available,” Mochikas said.

But after meeting with district administrators multiple times, DPAC members feel they have not been heard and continue to press the issue in light of the new plan.

“They don’t seem to understand the harms that could be done by implementing a plan that isn’t safe or by having teachers who don’t have the proper training teach this material,” Solomon said. “Talking about bodies, gender, sexuality or sex is hard for most people. Most people are not comfortable with this.”

Inglis acknowledged it can be challenging for teachers to have those kinds of conversations, noting the district does plan on continuing its use of guest presenters. But, Inglis added, the goal is to create an environment in which

students feel safe talking to their teachers.

That’s something SD73 superintendent Rhonda Nixon echoed.

“Every adult in the building needs to be prepared to have that conversation,” Nixon said.

“If you look at the parents’ concerns, they feel that we need to have sexual health educators who are certified to teach three or four lessons. I’m not saying that’s not good, but I’m saying it’s not good enough. We actually have to have training for all teachers to act in inclusive ways all day long with students because a student isn’t necessarily to disclose that in 90 minutes with an outsider.”

Nixon said the district is not opposed to providing more staff or certifications if needed, but added what is in place is a “pretty comprehensive program.”

Solomon doesn’t think the training will go far enough and is concerned the results of the next McCreary Centre survey will show little has changed. The next survey is set to be conducted in 2023.

“They think they can pull something together in six months and have teachers working in classrooms, and my parent point-ofview and my professional point-ofview is that that’s not safe,” she said.

Helping with your Children's Loans?

Co-signing during your lifetime can have unintended consequences when you die.

When a person co-signs a loan, they and the borrower agree to be jointly responsible for the debt. If the borrower doesn’t pay, a lender can demand payment from the co-signor before, or instead of, first demanding payment from the borrower.

Becoming a co-signer creates a direct link to your assets, even after you have died.

Your child’s creditor now becomes your creditor. So, if your child cannot pay a loan that you have co-signed, that creditor could attempt to seek payment through your estate. Subsequently, your children may not receive the proceeds of your estate as you intended.

In today’s economic climate, it is understandable to want to help your children by helping with their loans. However, you should first consider the effect your attempt to help may have on your overall estate plan.

If you have questions, we’re here to help.

Kamloops This Week is a politically independent newspaper, published Wednesdays at 1365-B Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops, B.C., V2C 5P6 Phone: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 email: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A candidate for nearly every issue

T

he second-most anticipated date in the civic election cycle has just passed — nomination deadline.

Last Friday was the deadline for candidates to file nomination papers if they wish to run for mayor, a city council seat, a school board trustee seat or a director seat on a regional district board.

Once the clock struck 4 p.m., the ballot in the Kamloops area offered clarity after months of announcements and speculation.

The candidate list as of Sept. 9 is not exactly final as candidates on the list have until 4 p.m. on Sept. 16 to withdraw and have their names removed from the Oct. 15 Election Day ballot.

But no names can be added, so the list is as long as it can be and we in Kamloops have five people running for mayor, 23 people seeking eight councillor seats and 11 people vying for five city school board seats.

How does that compare with previous general civic elections?

Well, in the last two elections, the number of city school trustee candidates has not changed too drastically — 10 in 2018 and 15 in 2014.

At city hall, the numbers and male-female ratio in this election and going back four elections is intriguing.

• In 2022, there are five mayoral candidates and 23 councillor candidates.

• In 2018, there were two mayoral candidates and 21 councillor candidates.

• In 2014, there were four mayoral candidates and 28 councillor candidates.

MUSINGS • In 2011, there were four mayoral candidates and 24 councillor candidates.

• In 2008, there were three mayoral candidates and 26 councillor candidates.

This year’s election is the first this century to include a female candidate for mayor — Sadie Hunter.

Meanwhile, the female-male ratio of councillor candidates this year is 30 per cent (seven women and 16 men). That is right on par with past elections, save for 2014, when the percentage of female councillor candidates was a healthy 43 per cent (12 women and 16 men). In 2018, 2011 and 2008, women councillor candidates comprised 33, 29 and 31 per cent of the ballot, respectively.

As for getting people to actually vote on Oct. 15? Well, if 35 per cent of eligible Kamloops voters actually vote, it just might be a “Stop the presses!” moment.

In 2018, turnout locally was 30.6 per cent (below the provincial average of 35.6 per cent). But voter turn-

out locally in 2014 (34.9 per cent), 2011 (31.9 per cent) and 2008 (30.2 per cent) exceeded provincial averages by slight margins.

Now, about the candidates.

The mayoral race will likely be the most interesting in Kamloops since 2005, when Terry Lake was elected.

The past few elections have largely been coronations for either Ken Christian or Peter Milobar (save for the latter’s near-defeat to the then-unheralded Dieter Dudy).

This year’s mayoral electoral battle should be a recipe for intrigue. Take an outgoing mayor who always topped the polls, add in two businessmen who hope to tap into the public anger over streetrelated issues and mix in three incumbent councillors.

Who wins? Hard to say, but each and every candidate needs their vocal online supporters online (and there are many) to translate that keyboard passion into trips to the polling station on Oct. 15. With seven out of 10 eligible voters likely not to vote, recognizing which 30 to 35 per cent will vote and appealing to them will be crucial.

This might be the hardest mayoral election to call this century.

And the councillor battle is no easier task. There are five open seats, which means city council will have a completely different look after voting day.

There will be five new faces guaranteed. There may be more if the three incumbents running do not succeed in their re-election bids.

There is certainly diversity in views among this lineup of 23 coun-

CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022 cillor candidates, which may help nudge up voter turnout.

If you are fed up with the streetrelated social and crime situation and feel council needs to take a harder approach when dealing with BC Housing and local non-profits that run shelters, there are candidates for you.

If you feel council needs to continue doing what it is doing on the issue, there are candidates for you.

If you are aching for a performing-arts centre to rise and want other recreational amenities built, there are candidates for you.

If you believe an arts centre and more ice rinks and pools are just too expensive right now, there are candidates for you.

Regardless of your views on climate change, bike lanes, property taxes, parking and snow-clearing, it is likely you will find at least one candidate among that list of 23 who agrees with you. Will you find eight?

Maybe not, but you are not required to vote for the maximum eight candidates. You can walk into the polling booth and vote for eight, or two, or four, or one — or none.

We hope the information in these pages and online at kamloopsthisweek.com, as well as via other local media outlets, will be more than enough to help you narrow your choice(s).

In today’s paper, on pages A1, A6, A12, A14, A15, A16 and A18, there is a lot of information to con-

sider. It was the same last week and will be the same in each print edition and online through the Oct. 15 election.

ATTEND A FORUM, GET INFORMED • You are invited to the 2022 Kamloops Civic Election Forum.

The forum will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University.

The forum — co-hosted by KTW, CBC Radio Kamloops and Radio NL — will follow the format of the successful 2018 civic election forum and will feature a mayoral session, followed by groups of councillor candidates taking to the stage in 20-minute increments to answer questions from the public.

You can attend in person and ask a question of the candidates or you can catch the forum online via KTW’s Facebook page.

• Councillor candidate Nancy Bepple is once again organizing an election seniors forum, something she has done in the past four elections, regardless of whether she was a candidate.

The forum will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at noon at the Desert Gardens Seniors Community Centre, downtown at 540 Seymour St. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COUNCIL NEEDS TO LOOK OUTSIDE ITSELF

Queen Elizabeth II in the drawing room at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on Sept. 6, two days before she died at the age of 96.

JANE BARLOW/PRESS POOL PHOTO

Editor: I have reflected on the past four years on what I would have done differently and how I will vote in the Oct. 15 civic election.

The one issue that continues to generate discussion, concerns and questions in the city is the subject of homelessness and related social problems. In 2018, I attended a council meeting where an idea of a service for the homeless was presented. It was a place where they can store documents and legal paperwork.

The individual presenting to coun-

cil said the idea came from a model used in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

That immediately got my attention — why would Kamloops want to model itself after that particular area?

Where I fell short was that I did not speak up. The idea was accepted and the motion was passed. What we now have is one more downtown service for the homeless population.

In 2021, I wrote a letter to the editor, suggesting the city reconsider any more ideas that will expand the footprint of the homeless population.

I noted that perhaps all services can be centralized, such as Service Canada has done, with a one-stop shop. My letter did not get published, but I was so pleased when another Kamloopsian wrote in with the same idea.

This election, I am looking for a council that will look outside itself for ideas and solutions.

I attend meetings, participate, write letters provide feedback and speak up in a manner that encourages our local government. I will be at the polls this fall. For that, I am responsible.

Marguerite Dodds, Kamloops

OH, HOW I WILL MISS QUEEN ELIZABETH II TAKE A FLYER ON THESE CITY STORES Editor: When the news hit on Sept. 8 that Queen Elizabeth had died, I cried as if it were a family member that passed away.

I grew up and lived with only this monarch — our Queen.

Years ago, I travelled to London, England just so I could stand at the gates of Buckingham Palace in all its splendour.

I loved Queen Elizabeth for

her loyalty, glamour and dedication. I aspired to be her when I grew up and began adult life.

Her path of life was not hers to choose; however, everything she did for her country, children and her monarchy she did with such dignity.

I will miss her as I hope the world will, too.

Lois Ward Kamloops

Editor: A thriving local press strengthens community by keeping us all informed and connected.

I was disheartened to see Save-On-Foods has followed the lead of Real Canadian Superstore and is no longer publishing a weekly grocery flyer in print editions of KTW.

Publishing weekly flyers in the local paper is one way large corporations demonstrate their care for the communities in which they make their large profits.

The revenue generated by weekly adverts is vital to the operational sustainability of local newspapers.

Choosing not to pub-

lish grocery flyers also disadvantages shoppers who don’t have the technology to access digital flyers and shop for best deals.

I encourage KTW readers to join me in supporting grocery stores that continue to publish weekly flyers as this strengthens our community.

Mayoral hopefuls on street-related issues JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

During the civic election campaign, KTW has identified four issues and is asking mayoral candidates about them. This is the first of a four-part series, with the remaining three issues to be addressed by candidates in subsequent print editions of KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The street-related issues concerning safety, both of those on the street and of those not on the street, has been the main topic this election campaign. What can council do (that it is not doing now) to improve the situation?

• Ray Dhaliwal: “We need to have more boots on the ground, the RCMP and the bylaws. We need to get them more visible on the streets, just about 24 hours.

“They just have to walk, like they have security down on West Victoria ... We need to get in the face of the criminals more — and even the people that are in front of businesses that have set up camp, businesses can’t open — get into their face all the time

and that’s all we can do.”

• Dieter Dudy: “Addressing the needs of the homeless, the opioid crisis, addressing a housing shortage, both from a shelter point of view, the missing middle, etc.

— some of these things we can do something about and some of these things we need to lobby for.

“So, we would have to effectively put ourselves in a position where we continually call the people who should actually be doing something about it. Ken [Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian] was just telling me that he got blown off by [Health minister] Adrian Dix [for a one-on-one meeting at the Union of BC Municipalities conference], so these are not good things.

“You know, we need to make these people aware of the fact that if they’re wanting us to run a city effectively, they’ve got to be helping us, too, so if they want to see things like homelessness and stuff addressed, they’ve got to be in there with us making it work.

“We’re not the ones who do it.

And we need to message that better than we have. People need to understand that we’re not the ones that are doing it. It’s coming from

Have a heart to give for a heart to live Donate for Cardiac Care “CATH LAB" at RIH

CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022 different agencies and different levels of government.”

• Sadie Hunter: “I think the biggest thing for me in that is we have been trying, in doing a lot of work locally and being innovative in terms of our approach.

“I know it might not seem that way on the surface of it, but we have allocated a lot of time and effort and resources to try new things. For me, it comes down to communication and collaboration and I’m all ears. If somebody has a different idea that’s feasible that we can try that we haven’t done yet, then let’s go for it, let’s try.

“Aside from that, I think we need to be louder when we are advocating to the province and other levels of government for the resources we need. The work that Mayor Christian has done through

the Urban Mayors’ Caucus has been great. I think we need to pair that in parallel with our own voice and our own advocacy about what we need in Kamloops, what’s happening here and kind of keep pushing at it until we get it done.

“Through UBCM, I do push on it quite a bit. Like I’ve said before, I’ve been in meetings with ministers, especially during COVID virtually, and I live in McDonald Park neighbourhood, so I’ve shown them outside my house. Like, what are we doing? Why isn’t this changing? What is taking so long?

“Why can’t we react to this — the opioid crisis — the same way we did to the pandemic? Put partisanship aside and let’s get something done. I’m asking those questions and I think we need to start asking them louder.”

• Arjun Singh: “We obviously have an issue, like most communities do, around community safety and we have to lean into it further.

“I think that’s probably job No. 1 of the new council, to figure out, OK, what’s this present council done, how can we build on that?

“It’s not good what’s happened.

What are our learnings? And really

quickly coalesce on some things we can do going forward. What can we fund? And what can we advocate for is essentially what we have to think about, right?

“I’m proposing we fund outreach, 24-seven crisis outreach teams. We give the police the right to a job they’re actually meant to be doing.

“In Oregon and now coming up in the Vancouver-area, the Lower Mainland, they have these teams of people where 911 get diverted.

They’re really mental-health nursing teams that go out.

“I think a police officer in a car and all kitted out costs about $200,000 a year. You can get two or three people who are doing more, better, actual jobs for the work that we need to do, for some of the work, if you do that instead.

“Council said five new police officers a year. I’d like to think about that in terms of what we could actually do for putting resources to a better resource for some of that money.”

Note: Reid Hamer-Jackson was the lone mayoral candidate who was not available to be interviewed

by KTW for this series.

ELECTION PROFILES

Welcome to councillor candidate snapshot profiles, which will run in successive editions of KTW. Q1: What is the No. 1 issue facing Kamloops? Q2: Which mayoral candidate do you support?

Mike O’Reilly Age: 39 executive oreilly2022.com *** Q1: Livability is the largest issue that needs attention over the next four years. Community safety and recreation facilities are the two biggest areas that need to be addressed to increase livability in Kamloops.

While the City of Kamloops does not own or operate any homeless shelters or social housing projects, we must work with other levels of government to get homeless people off our streets. Working with the province and accepting everything the province wants to do, wherever or however they want to do it, are two different things.

We need to work with the province to create a buffer zone between residential neighbourhoods and shelters, increase mental-health supports, create a complex care centre in Kamloops and have involun-

Darpan Sharma Age: 41 business owner kamloopsp@gmail.com *** Q1: Uncontrollable crime, open drug use, no community engagement on social housing, high numbers of closed-door meetings, the poisonous work environment in the City of Kamloops, unaffordable housing prices, unethical spending practices and weak leadership at the city council, where they have surrendered our city to social agencies and the provincial government.

Our businesses are suffering because of crime and drug use. I want to see recovery, accountability and transpar-

tary treatment for multiple overdose patients. We cannot normalize people camping inside the Rotary Bandshell at Riverside Park, people setting up tents in the middle of soccer fields on McArthur Island or people leaving needles and fecal matter at the doorsteps of our businesses. Our public spaces, city parks and facilities need to be kept safe spaces for our residents to enjoy.

To ensure this happens, we need to increase our community service officer program and bring back community policing to our parks and neighbourhoods.

Many recreational facilities in Kamloops are dated and in short supply. While the population in Kamloops has grown more than 50 per cent over the past 30 years, we have had no additional ice rinks or pools built since 1991.

The city of is in desperate need of a performing arts space, new hockey rinks, a pool on the North Shore and indoor soccer space.

Having people between the ages of five and 85 travelling to Logan Lake or Chase in the middle of winter to get ice time is completely unacceptable.

The residents of Kamloops need and demand more recreational facilities.

Kamloops council adopted the Recreation Master Plan in 2021 and I believe we need to look at finding a way to provide funding for the plan over the next 10 years.

Q2: I look forward to working with whomever the residents of Kamloops elect as the new mayor of Kamloops.

ency be the mainstay of our fight against addiction.

I have talked to hundreds of Kamloopsians and the majority want more options for recovery and not handouts and more drugs. But that’s impossible with the enabling politicians we currently have on our council. They believe recovery

is dehumanizing and recovery facilities are concentration camps.

We need to work with different levels of government, but we should be the main stakeholders on where these facilities should go. They have to abide by good neighbour laws, period. If they don’t, we need to be able to use every tool at the civic level to push back on these social agencies and provincial government, similarly to what other municipalities have done very successfully in the recent past. It can be done.

We just need to get rid of the defeatist attitude.

Q2: I will support the mayoral candidate who will be elected on Oct. 15.

Stephen Karpuk Age: 53 chiropractor stephenkarpuk.ca *** Q1: For many, safety is No. 1. Kamloopsians need to feel safe and secure in their community. No one should have to worry about going for a walk, a bike ride or a drive in Kamloops at any time of day or in any part of our vast, beautiful city.

Business owners, employees and residents should feel safe and secure knowing they can live without having to worry about theft or violence.

Businesses need to know that the city supports them and won’t hinder their ability to do business or grow. Streets need to be properly cleared of snow so all commuters can safely get to and from their desired destination.

Use previous concrete sideDaphane Nelson Age: 46 business/co-op developer daphanenelson.com *** Q1: I stand for people, planet and prosperity. These three concepts are intertwined and are integral components of a healthy and vibrant community. We need to think outside the established silos and create solutions together so that Kamloops gains from our many shared resources and interconnected benefits. Through co-operation, action and creative thinking, I will encourage active, tangible solutions to the city’s many important issues.

Let’s make it easier for residents to do business, have an impact, feel safe and thrive.

If I must pick a single issue, I feel it’s imperative to support local businesses as most are

We need to increase Kamloops Fire Rescue and BC Ambulance Service personnel to match our growth.

We need to lobby the province to ensure Kamloops is properly outfitted as a regional health centre, instead of being Kelowna-centric.

We need our full cancer centre. We need more surgical and cardiac capacity in Kamloops.

We need more beds to make that happen.

These are all safety issues to me and I think most Kamloopsians would agree with me.

Let’s make their lives less difficult by saying “Yes” more often than “No.” But we can’t focus just there.

Every issue is complex and we need to look at how people are being impacted.

Accessibility is an issue for

many in our community and the challenges faced are baked right into the system.

Affordable housing, lack of sidewalks and crosswalks to traverse busy streets, complications when applying for the HandiDart service or access to health-care providers are some examples of opportunities ripe for transformation.

Let’s conquer red tape with innovation and approach accessibility through the lens of creative thinking. It’s important that we find ways to work together, to bolster community mindedness and to streamline our existing systems.

ELECTION PROFILES Welcome to councillor candidate snapshot profiles, which will run in successive editions of KTW. Q1: What is the No. 1 issue facing Kamloops? Q2: Which mayoral candidate do you support?

Margot Middleton business owner margotmiddleton.ca *** Q1: Homelessness, the rising cost of living, transportation and crime are issues Kamloops and other cities in our province have been faced with for years.

Some issues receive significant media attention, which might give citizens the impression that one issue is more critical than another; however, I prefer to take a more balanced approach and believe our city will benefit from a well-rounded council that works diligently to improve upon issues and takes advantage of opportunities for the benefit of all residents and businesses. In this, I believe council needs to be focused on many critical issues.

The pandemic has taught us that our infrastructure and resources can and must be adapted to make way for new solutions and new ways of doing things; it takes being intentional about exploring new ideas.

As a longtime resident of Kamloops, a business owner and an individual who has been closely keyed in on some of our community’s

issues, be it to support the business community or elevate opportunities for all Kamloops youth, I will bring sound counsel and thoughtful leadership to explore and highlight innovative solutions to challenging issues.

I believe our city administration and staff, in collaboration with the newly elected council, must be open to change, engage well with all levels of government, focus on bringing solutions to multiple issues instead of one or two key issues and work tirelessly to get the best outcomes for Kamloops and its citizens.

Q2: I choose not to disclose. It is the choice of the Kamloops voters and I respect that process. If elected, I will do my best to work as a team player with the new mayor and all elected council.

Bill Sarai Age: 61 city councillor, retired letter carrier emailbillsarai@gmail.com *** Q1: I view the No. issue that needs attention are the individuals that are on our streets struggling with mental-health and addiction issues.

My main priority is to continue working with all levels of government and local agencies to fill the glaring gaps that exist within our city regarding mental health and addiction.

I have been a strong voice on council since my first day elected, advocating that the measures being presented to us — including wraparound services, shelters and temporary day spaces — are not working effectively to better our street-entrenched individuals.

I will also continue identifying ways in which city council can apply pressure on the legal system to ensure courts step up and keep individuals accountable for their actions.

On many occasions, I have asked the RCMP to put more officers on foot patrol in areas that are seeing higher numbers of offences and will continue to make these requests.

In doing so, it would help instil confidence

in our business community and our residents that their tax dollars are being used to provide them with a sense of security and wellbeing.

Finally, we need to push harder for Car 40 (a program that pairs a Mountie with a mental-health nurse), which should be on our streets five or more days per week.

Interior Health needs to be at the forefront and take the primary stand in tackling these issues.

We need to deal with the roots of our problems rather than trying to deal with it when these individuals have caused hardship on our citizens, businesses and services.

Q2: I will work alongside whomever the people of Kamloops elect as mayor.

A15

October 15, 2022

Katie Neustaeter Age: 40 communications director katie4kamloops.ca *** Q1: The intersection of a housing crisis and escalating social issues (mental health, addictions, homelessness, crime) is our most pressing issue.

Housing: We need to listen to builders telling us that arbitrary/blanket requirements, inefficient processes, and unnecessary bureaucracy are barriers to building the attainable homes our population needs. We must implement creative ways to cut red tape, change arduous zoning and decrease permit processing time. Co-operative housing, multi-family housing and other entry-level housing is necessary.

We need options for the missing middle. With only three per cent of available land to build on in Kamloops, we must unlock it. The Kamloops and District Chamber of Commerce has put forward a land trust policy document proposing a “robust mechanism for ecological land donations.” These are the kinds of solutions to seek. Additional considerations include maintaining awareness that industrial land must be preserved for business development and that social housing and its occupancy should be regularly inventoried.

Social issues: Addressing housing effectively will begin alleviating some of the pressing issues facing our community, but others require an approach that interconnects/consolidates wraparound services and/or removes the greatest impacts to the public. Evidence shows we can’t warehouse people in buildings and expect change to occur; we need policy that regulates the disbursement of tenants of supportive housing, prioritizing units for those seeking recovery. Let’s examine the execution of harm reduction (meant to be one of a four-pillared approach of treatment, harm reduction, education and prevention) and rebuild strategies to improve

Darrel LaRiviere Age: 39 Train conductor dlk.ca *** Q1: The No. 1 issue is definitely homelessness and the associated crime it’s bringing.

The solution I have always advocated, and the only solution known to work, is housing first.

Since we can’t change criminal laws to require forced

the devastation of addiction/ overdose by working with qualified service providers/ social service agencies.

Furthermore, city council should work with/advocate to other levels of government to aggressively discontinue “catch and release” and enforce consequences for prolific offenders Q2: If I’m successful, whoever wears the Mayor’s Chain (when finally replaced) is who I will serve alongside. That being said, I want to work with a mayor who is fair, inclusive, transparent, discerning and represents Kamloops with integrity.

I’ll be listening closely during debates, continuing to do my research on and asking questions of the candidates I feel most closely reflect my priorities, values and vision for the City of Kamloops.

But please don’t vote for any single-issue candidates with bigoted views and little to no involvement in the community.

These people often don’t understand the limitations of the office or due process. It’ll be a train wreck of epic proportions and impossible to get anything done. We don’t have time to waste on angry rhetoric that further polarizes and marginalizes people.

We have real work to do. We can find realistic solutions to complex problems without resorting to extremists who don’t truly understand the issues, will hold up productivity and lack the most basic qualifications required of a prominent community leader.

rehabilitation of addicts and the mentally unstable, we (as a city) must focus on what we can do — getting homeless people off the streets, regardless of the reason why they’re homeless.

Sheltering the homeless must be the first priority. I support city funding of mental-health and rehab facilities since the provincial and federal governments are unwilling to do anything.

Q2: Whoever wins.

Council candidates on street-related issues JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

During the civic election campaign, KTW has identified four issues and is asking groups of councillor candidates about them.

This is the first of a four-part series, with the remaining three issues to be addressed by other, randomly chosen groups of councillor candidates in subsequent print editions of KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The street-related issues concerning safety, both of those on the street and of those not on the street, has been the main topic this election campaign. What can council do (that it is not doing now) to improve the situation?

• Caroline King: King said she wants to change the conversation at council, which she said is onesided, toward housing-first and looking to other levels of government.

“I am a firm believer that it’s an inherent right to have a roof over our heads and a warm meal in our bellies, but, you know, being homeless and drug addicted does not preclude you from following basic rules of society and we have to find ways where we can all live together, where we can support the people we love and the people we care about, but we can also support our businesses and our communities, our neighbourhoods.

And what we’re doing right now

is so one-sided and so off-skewed that we’re just, we’re digging ourselves deeper every day.”

King said Kamloops was the only city to disband its bylaws department during the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of a crime wave. She said other cities chose to increase bylaw divisions by adding higher-level and better trained community services officers to existing bylaws officers. She said it alleviated street issues and took pressure off the RCMP. • Darrell LaRiviere: “I think the main issue is they keep on voting against things that can fix things because they believe it’s someone else’s responsibility,” he said.

LaRiviere said it bothers him when council points to the provincial or federal governments and then nothing happens. He said he would have voted in favour of Coun. Denis Walsh’s proposed feasibility study for a recovery centre.

• Mike O’Reilly: “The City of Kamloops does not operate any homeless shelters or social housing projects and, obviously, this is a mental-health crisis.

“I fundamentally believe that your municipal tax dollars should not be paying for health care.

There are some short-term solutions that the province can implement that a new council can push for to try and ease some of the criminality that’s associated with the homelessness. Specifically, the city can work with the province to create a buffer zone between

CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022 residential neighbourhoods and shelters.”

O’Reilly explained it would mean requiring a shelter be a certain number of metres from homes and neighbourhoods.

“There isn’t any residential neighbourhood that I know of that has a shelter located next door to them that doesn’t have an issue with crime,” he said. “We need to have that separation and a buffer area.”

O’Reilly said the province also needs to increase mental-health supports and provide complex care to get the 20 worst offenders off of city streets. O’Reilly said he will be pushing for involuntary treatment for repeat overdose patients.

• Jordan Proctor: “One of the things that I’d like to see is the city regaining more input and control over how these things are being dealt with. As of right now, due to paramountcy, we have very limited handle on how the NPOs (nonprofit organizations) and stuff operate in managing these affairs.

“I just feel it’s quite clear, based on the fact half of the board of BC Housing basically got fired and the

CEO retired, something’s not going right. I think the short answer is something needs to be done and the evidence is quite clear that what we’re currently doing is not working.

“All we’ve seen in the past few years is just a steady escalation of homelessness and property crime.

I would like to see a more stringent application of civic bylaws on these organizations that manage these services.”

Proctor also suggested advocating for safe supply of drugs, noting organized crime flourished during the prohibition of alcohol last century.

• Bill Sarai: Sarai said he has been pushing for more RCMP officers on the streets.

“Especially after the Jamaican Kitchen incident, where one of the comments was, ‘We own the streets.’ That really bothered me and wasn’t what we’re about and I thought having RCMP, more boots on the ground on a regular rotation, would and still could make a big difference,” he said.

Sarai said Car 40 (a program that pairs a Mounties with a nurse for mental health-related calls) resources should also be enhanced and he criticized Interior Health for providing limited nursing resources.

“They need to be at the table,” he said. “This is a health issue.”

Sarai said street issues are complex, noting no one initiative will be a solution. He also noted

he was to speak with the province during this week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention about shelters and a mental-health court.

• Darpan Sharma: Sharma said council has been lobbying the province, similar to other municipalities, but it is not working.

“It’s the definition of insanity.

You keep doing the same thing again and again, expecting a different result,” he said.

Sharma said his plan would be to lobby with council in the first six months, then look at fining nuisance properties, including social agencies and hotels hosting their clients.

He also wants to look at zoning and invoke rules that prohibit people from living in hotels. He said the city can withhold funding and utilize its good neighbour bylaw.

Sharma also wants to increase competition amongst social agencies that have contracts with BC Housing, calling it a “monopoly” in Kamloops. Sharma said the city has to be an equal stakeholder in decisions on shelter locations.

“At the end of the day, we are the ones living in Kamloops.

They’re not. It’s just another city to them,” he said.

Sharma said the city needs two departments — bylaws and community service — and questioned the city’s decision to disband the department during the pandemic.

Sharma also advocated for recovery services and so-called “dry” facilities.

Proctor seeking a seat on Kamloops council JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jordan Proctor, a 41-yearold mountain biker, tradesman and self-described sci-fi nerd, is running for city council after moving to the city from the Lower Mainland eight years ago.

Affordability and lifestyle brought him to Kamloops and Proctor said the city has been good to him. He cited his ability to run errands without getting stuck in traffic and appreciates the city as a premier mountain biking destination — and he wants to give back.

It is his first time running for public office.

Proctor is a foreman for a commercial roofing company.

He previously worked as an assistant brewer and was trained as a paramedic.

As president of a bike club in Surrey, Proctor advocated for a bike park.

“That was quite a process.

It took about five years of lobbying,” he said, noting a culture was built around the facility. “We were very successful in doing that and fostering that sort of culture of collective ownership and maintenance — and the park is still flourishing in my absence.”

Proctor is involved with

JORDAN PROCTOR the cycling community in Kamloops, including the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre and Kamloops Bike Riders Association.

He has been commuting via cycling infrastructure in recent months and said he noticed the city needs to improve connectivity, particularly around Thompson Rivers University and at Riverside Park.

“The big thing is connecting these pieces,” he said. “It’s like having viable routes that actually connect in a meaningful way. The other thing, too, the fixation is always on separated bike paths, which is awesome. They definitely have a place. But there’s some alternative concepts that could be applied and would ultimately benefit downtown.”

Proctor suggested a downtown Nicola Street bike route could be improved by reorienting stop signs and adding planter boxes to prevent it from becoming a vehicular commuter route.

“You would create a space that is dedicated to people and cyclists ahead of cars,” he said, noting it has been done in Europe and could be tried for a season for a limited cost.

In addition to active transportation infrastructure, Proctor cited property crime, homelessness, the opioid crisis and housing affordability as issues in the upcoming election.

Asked why someone should vote for him, Proctor said: “I think one thing that I provide that’s kind of unique is I am, I think, the only candidate, the sort of blue-collar working class that’s still just an actively working individual, so I sort of bring a unique perspective in that regard, just a different outlook that comes from me, Joe-Blow Worker Bee. I’m quite dedicated to the city. It’s done very well for me and I feel that my ideas would have a very positive impact on the city in helping us move forward into the future in a meaningful way.”

No meeting with Dix at UBCM convention BUT SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL SPEAK WITH OTHER PROVINCIAL MINISTERS JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said he is disappointed he will not get to meet with Health Minister Adrian Dix at this week’s Union of BC Municipalities Convention.

Two-thirds of city council — Christian and councillors Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai and Arjun Singh — are attending the annual conference in Whistler.

The conference has been held virtually in recent years during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Christian told KTW council asked for five meetings with ministers. Some of those meetings were approved.

Council-minister meetings will take place with Transportation Minister Rob Fleming about issues in the Valleyview corridor,

Mental Health and Addictions Minister Sheila Malcolmson about detox and Car 40 resources, Tourism Minister Melanie Mark about funding requests for the Memorial Cup and Scotties tournament and the proposed performing-arts centre.

Christian said he was surprised to be turned down by Dix to discuss staffing issues at Royal Inland hospital and doctor shortages in the city.

“It’s disappointing and I hope

that I will be able to see him there,” Christian said. “I know he’ll be at the convention, but it’s largely in and around the issues related to Royal Inland Hospital: the staffing recruitment and retention, issues about diversion, issues related to ER wait times, issues related to offloading of patients by police. All of that stuff that I think is very critical to Kamloops.”

Christian noted Dix was to host a plenary session at the con-

NOTICE TO MOTORISTS 6TH AVENUE BIKE LANE

September 12–November 30, 2022 The City of Kamloops has contracted Urban Appeal Landscaping to construct a separated bike lane on 6th Avenue. This project requires a redesign of the roadway between Lansdowne Street and Columbia Street.

Work will begin on September 12, 2022 and is expected to be complete by the end of November. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm. Some evening or weekend work may be required.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane travelling in each direction.

Inbound (northbound) transit stops on 6th Avenue will be temporarily closed.

vention on Tuesday, which the mayor said is unusual and allows for a significant amount of time.

The two-hour session’s topic was “Re-envisioning Health Care in BC” and Christian said he had planned to attend and hear policy announcements.

“In giving him the benefit of the doubt, that’s what I would hope for,” he said.

Christian will also be meeting with the BC Urban Mayor’s Caucus and Premier John Horgan and said he is hopeful to hear back about reworking the municipal financing framework.

Christian said that more and more continues to be downloaded on communities and funded by property tax owners and small businesses.

“It’s just no longer viable and so we need a bigger share of the pie in terms of either provincial sales tax or property sales tax or something because they just keep

downloading actions, activities and responsibilities to us,” he said.

“We can no longer do that without taking your taxes through the roof.”

Sarai said he will be leading a meeting with Attorney General Murray Rankin to discuss how BC Housing monitors success of its shelters, as well as an application for a mental-health court.

Sarai said the application, put forward by TRU law professor Ruby Dhand and provincial court judge Michelle Sanford, has been with the attorney general for two years and called it a “missing link” in work to address street issues.

Hunter has been on the Union of BC Municipalities board for the past two years and intends to return to the board for a third year, pending results of the Oct. 15 municipal election, in which she is running to become the city’s next mayor.

$5,000 reward offered in severed bear paws case KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A $5,000 reward is being offered in connection with a bearpoaching incident near Roche Lake south of Kamloops in which the dead bruin’s paws were cut off.

On Sept. 8, a resident in the area found the dead bear at the side of Roche Lake Road,

The Fur-Bearers, a nonpartisan, charitable organization founded in 1953 to protect furbearing animals through conservation, advocacy, research and education, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and conviction of those responsible for the poaching incident.

“Poaching has no place in British Columbia,” said Aaron Hofman, director of advocacy and policy for The Fur-Bearers.

“We are encouraging all residents who may have information, or may have witnessed unusual activity on Roche Lake Road on or before Thursday, Sept. 8, near Kamloops to contact investigators at the BC

The paws had been hacked off at the joint, most were declawed and some still had fur on them.

Bear paws (and other parts of the bruin, including bile and gallbladders) are sold internationally for high prices, with the animal parts used in food dishes and medicinal products, primarily in Asia.

Charges in 2021 murder may soon be laid MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Murder charge recommendations are expected to soon be forwarded by RCMP to Crown in connection with the homicide investigation of Adam Hibbert, whose body was found near the entrance to the City of Kamloops landfill last year during a response to a suspicious fire.

“We have an investigative team that has put together a large, comprehensive package to Crown counsel. Charge recommendation is expected in the very near future so that Crown counsel can do a formal charge assessment with the recommendation of murder,” Insp. Jeff Pelley told the city council’s community services committee on Sept. 8.

Kamloops Mounties were called at about 4:15 p.m. on Oct. 1, 2021, and, at the time, were unable to identify the deceased, but have since confirmed his identity and that he was the vic-

tim of a homicide.

Police have not disclosed the manner in which Hibbert died.

At the time of his death, Hibbert, 29, was wanted on robbery charges. He was one of three people arrested and later charged in connection with the Aug. 3, 2021, robbery of the Lordco Auto Parts east of downtown, which was followed by a van used in the robbery being set ablaze in Riverside Park.

In fact, Hibbert was charged on Oct. 1, 2021, the same day his body was discovered.

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

Their next court date is scheduled for Dec. 1 for a pre-trial conference.

Meanwhile, Pelley said progress is also being made on the investigation into the 2019 double murder that took the lives of two men outside separate hotels in different locations in the city.

“We’re moving that investigation ahead,” Pelley told the committee.

Kamloops RCMP responded at 6:50 a.m. on Jan. 23, 2019, to the parking lot of the Super 8 motel in Valleyview, where 31-year-old Cody Mathieu of Kamloops died of apparent gunshot wounds. Nearly two hours later, at about 8:25 a.m., police responded to the Comfort Inn and Suites just off Rogers Way in Aberdeen, outside of which 41-year-old Rex Gill of Penticton had been shot to death.

RCMP believe the shootings were targeted attacks related to organized crime, but it was later revealed the slaying of Gill was a case of mistaken identity.

Pelley added that in addition to that investigation, there are several affidavits required to support exhibit detention orders for multiple investigations in which no criminal charges are currently in place, something that takes up significant police resources.

murder investigation of Mohd Abdullah also remains a police priority as that investigation continues forward amidst legal issues officers must navigate as a practising local lawyer has been charged with indignity to human remains in connection with the case.

Rogelio Butch Bagabuyo is facing that charge and has recently elected to stand trial by B.C. Supreme Court justice alone, rather than by judge and jury. His next court date is scheduled for Sept. 19.

He is alleged to have placed the remains of Abdullah in a plastic bin. Abdullah’s body was found in that bin on a Dufferin property on March 17 of this year.

Adam Hibbert, whose body was found near the entrance to the city’s landfill last year, is seen here posing by the bull sculpture in Riverside Park. Hibbert’s body was discovered on Oct. 1, 2021, the same day he was charged in connection with a robbery.

According to the RCMP statistics, there were 2,348 reported and confirmed property crimes in April, May and June of 2022, up 17 per cent from the 2,000 reported over the same period in 2021 and 26 per cent more than the 1,861 registered in 2020.

Compared to the pre-pandemic year of 2019, however, there was a four per cent increase from the 2,255 property crimes reported during that year’s second quarter.

Crimes against persons is also up seven per cent over the second quarter 2021, which was up eight per cent from that quarter in 2020.

Property crimes are a main concern for the Kamloops RCMP and its increase has become “alarming,” according to Insp. Jeff Pelley, who presented the data to Kamloops

council’s community services committee on Sept. 8.

Pelley said the detachment’s proactive crime-reduction unit has not been staffed for the past year, but noted two constables and a corporal will shift to that unit at the end of September and focus on targeting prolific offenders.

“We’re happy to say we have the first portion of that unit going to be staffed this month and we’re going to be very progressive on the offenders responsible for those drivers and any increases,” Pelley told the committee.

He added prolific offenders are involved in a wide variety of crimes and police believe by focusing on them, and helping to facilitate their access to services, it may address addiction issues and reduce crime.

“We are seeing some challenges of offenders being released with quite a lengthy criminal record,” Pelley told the committee. “Our crime-reduction unit will be able to focus on our top offenders as they get out in the community.”

Pelley told KTW the unit had not been staffed fully in the past year as the detachment has been

focused on ensuring other core policing units are fully staffed.

Looking at specific property crimes during the second quarter of 2022, break-ins to businesses were down slightly, at 83 compared to 86 in 2021, but that was 29 less than the 112 in 2020. Break-ins for the second quarter of 2019, however, were just 52 — making for a 60 per cent increase this year over prepandemic levels.

Break-ins are down. There were 42 break-ins to residences in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 55 in 2021, 25 in 2020 and 71 in 2019.

Shoplifting files are at a fourquarter high of 257 this year, up from 210 in 2021, 107 in 2020 and 212 in 2019.

Pelley said police are seeing an uptick in the number of shoplifting files in which shoplifters have pulled out weapons when confronted by store employees. He said police have been calling for additional charges on those files.

There were 352 thefts from motor vehicles files in quarter two, which was half of the 665 recorded in the second quarter of 2019. There were 418 and 433 in the second

quarters of 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Thefts of motor vehicles, though, were at a four-quarter high in April, May and June 2022, with 122, compared to 112 in 2021, 46 in 2020 and 82 in the pre-pandemic 2019.

Pelley said he included stats from 2019 as the world begins to enter post-pandemic era. Outgoing RCMP Supt. Sad Lecky has previously noted there was a rash of property crime in 2020 as a result of pandemic restrictions, leaving more businesses closed and fewer eyes and ears on the street. He has also said the pandemic years of 2021 and 2020 are considered anomalies.

MORE FROM THE DATA Meanwhile, police attended 182 intimate partner violence calls in the second quarter of 2022, which is down from 196 over the same period in 2021 and a four-quarter high 240 in 2020. They were in line with the 181 in 2019.

Intimate partner violence is another area of crime believed to have been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Pelley said the near-identical

numbers in 2022 and 2019 may be a sign that the impacts of COVID19 on these incidents may be subsiding.

As for mental health-related calls, the stats show a 33 per cent decrease in the second quarter of 2022, with 622 files, down from 933 in 2021. Those numbers are more in line with the 665 files in the second quarter of 2019. There were 814 files in the second quarter of 2020.

There was a four-quarter low in the number of Car 40 interventions — the program that pairs a mental-health nurse with an police officer to respond to mental-health calls.

In the second quarter of this year, there were 153 Car 40 interventions, down from 240 in 2021, 237 in 2020 and 196 in 2019.

Pelley told the committee he is not sure what is responsible for the reduction in calls between 2022 and 2021, noting some repeat offenders have had success with the program, but noted it could be that fewer calls are being attended as the two positions involved in Car 40 have not been fully active.

A ceremony to remember late Queen Elizabeth II KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, along with the ANAVETS, the City of Kamloops and other veterans and military organizations, is welcoming all to a ceremony of remembrance in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96 after spending 70 years on the throne.

Her funeral will be held on Monday, Sept. 19, which has been declared a onetime federal holiday for federal government workers by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

That is also the day for the local ceremony of remembrance.

It will be held at the Cenotaph in Riverside Park

downtown.

Brenda Thomson, the Kamloops Legion’s secretary and executive director, said those wishing to attend should plan on arriving at Riverside Park by 10:30 a.m. on Monday.

Thomson said the ceremony will be similar to

Remembrance Day ceremonies, but without a parade.

There will be two minutes of silence observed at 11 a.m., along with a eulogy from Robin Steel, a retired lieutenant-colonel who served in the British Army, and comments from Legion president Daniel Martin, who will also lay a wreath on the Cenotaph in memory of Queen Elizabeth.

Thomson said attendees are welcome to bring and lay their own wreaths or flowers on the Cenotaph.

The ceremony will also include a padre, a piper and a bugler, with music similar to what one hears at a Remembrance Day event.

“What we are hearing is mostly everyone of all generations are feeling a sense of loss, so this gives us a moment to share,” Thomson said.

Blazers have plan for pressure

B

ob Wilkie works in the shadows to ensure the Kamloops Blazers are braced for the spotlight.

Shaun Clouston was hired to be head coach of the Western Hockey League club in June of 2019 and immediately acquired the services of Wilkie, the team’s mental-performance coach who lives in Calgary and runs I Got Mind, which offers social and emotional learning programs.

KTW spoke to Wilkie on the eve of a season that will conclude with the Blazers playing host to the Memorial Cup tournament, a campaign that promises to bring magnified pressure on the organization, from top to bottom.

They know it, they’ve been preparing for it and they’re embracing the heat.

“We’re normalizing the conversation around it,” said Wilkie, a former NHLer and second-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 1987. “We don’t want it to be the elephant in the room. Everybody knows the importance, but we’re not going to let it become a distraction. I just really look forward to winning the Cup. Cluey and I have talked about it for years.

We’ve worked really hard to get where we’re at together, making sure the kids are mentally and emotionally ready.”

Wilkie was on the Swift Current Broncos’ bus that crashed in 1986, an accident that claimed the lives of four of his teammates and contributed to mental-wellness struggles that were left unaddressed and impacted his professional career, a period marred by severe

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Daylan Kuefler fires a puck on net on Friday at Sandman Centre. Kuefler is among the Kamloops Blazers’ leadership group, which plays a key role in relaying strategy for mental performance coach Bob Wilkie.

BOB WILKIE depression, self-abuse and harm, substance abuse and thoughts of suicide.

After years of working toward healing and focusing on his own mental wellness, Wilkie sought to make a career out of helping others, including athletes such as the Blazers.

“Unfortunately, and we’ve seen it in the last several months,

the culture of hockey isn’t always the safest place for young men,” Wilkie said. “That’s a lot of our focus, is getting them comfortable in the environment, normalizing the fact that we all deal with different things throughout our careers and that when we can reach out, ask for help and learn some valuable things, what was a big issue once is now not.”

The pandemic forced Wilkie into working with the Blazers mostly through Zoom, but inperson visits have resumed and he joined club staff and several leadership group players for a Sun Peaks retreat in August.

“Bob is facilitating, instructing and asking the questions,” Clouston said. “That’s a real positive. It helps with the connection between players and staff. They’re in a situation where they’re learning together. Just talking about

things, it normalizes it a little bit and it makes players realize that, wow, like all of us have been through that — coaches have been through that, players have been through that.

“That helps,” Clouston continued. “Just knowing this is challenging and I am going to feel some things and they’re going to be a little bit uncomfortable, but we’re all going to work together to try to help each other out and if players need a bit of extra help, we’ll make sure they get that.”

Interviews during training camp revealed a common theme when the subject of pressure was broached, with players and coaches alike expounding on the importance of staying in the here and now.

“It’s really not that hard when you’re practising the skills to do it,” Wilkie said, noting work with

ALL MAKES & MODELS HASSLE FREE & MAX CASH PAYOUT GUARANTEEED

leadership group players is key, as lessons filter down through them. “We’ve been instilling that since Shaun became part of the Blazers’ organization. During the pandemic, we were on calls every week. We really got to know each other and talk about a lot of things. It has been the focus and the mandate.”

Added Clouston: “It’s probably more challenging for some people than others. It’s a challenge in life, in general. There is only so much you can do about the future. You have to take care of today. We’ve tried to be very process-driven.”

Will I be traded? Am I a clutch player? Why am I going through a rough patch? Will I be drafted?

Are we winners?

They are questions dealt with every season by major junior hockey players and ones that can be even more stressful to handle in a Memorial Cup-hosting season.

Wilkie trumpets the importance of togetherness and has been using SWOT analysis with the Blazers, a technique used to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

“We’ve got a full season ahead for us to chip away at things,” Clouston said. “It doesn’t have to be solved right now, but there’s an awareness that what we are setting out to do is challenging, that we’re going to support each other through this year and try to have a lot of fun doing it. A lot of times, people in general, and maybe young people, have a tendency to withdraw a little bit and not reach out to get some help. Right from Day 1 with Bob, we’ve discussed those things and encouraged players to reach out.”

Broncos to host expansion Kodiaks The Kamloops Broncos are aiming to snap a three-game losing streak on Saturday, with the Prince George Kodiaks coming to town for a 6 p.m. start in B.C. Football Conference action at Hillside Stadium.

Kamloops has been idle since dropping to 2-4 with a 32-27 loss to the visiting Westshore Rebels (5-2) of Langford on Sept. 3.

The Kodiaks (1-5) and Broncos squared off on Aug. 6 in Prince George, with Kamloops prevailing 35-20.

The teams will meet again next weekend in Prince George.

Added Wilkie: “It’s a solid plan put together for how they’re going to win the Memorial Cup. If we stick to the plan, analyze the plan and are doing all the things that are going to make us successful, the fact that we’re hosting, it’s just a nice perk that we get to win the cup in front of our home team.”

Clouston told KTW during a post-season interview, not long after a gut-wrenching Western Conference final Game 7 loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds on home ice a few months ago, that his club needs to find an extra level of tenacity — a relentless will to win.

He said it’s not normal for most teenagers to be thrown into that type of cauldron. And it’s most cer-

tainly not easy to reach the pinnacle of junior hockey.

Wilkie is part of the plan the Blazers feel is in place to make it possible.

“A lot of times, that little bit more, it’s mental toughness,” Clouston said. “It’s pushing past places that we were a little bit too uncomfortable to push before. He can be part of that.”

Count Wilkie in.

“It’s one of the most fulfilling things in the world,” he said. “As a young guy in their position, striving to be what they’re trying to be and knowing that I didn’t have the skills and didn’t have the people around me where I felt comfortable, it’s very rewarding to be able to be that sounding board and resource for the younger players of today.

“We’re excited to cap it all off with a ring this year.”

80th minute — and Ryan Lewis scored in a 2-1 triumph over the UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George.

“It’s huge. We never used to get crowds like this,” WolfPack men’s soccer head coach John Antulov told TRU Sports Information.

“Even last weekend, without students, we still had 500 or 600 fans out. It’s great to get the support for our players, it’s nice to see the students starting to come out and it just pumps the guys up.

Why wouldn’t you want to play in front of 2,000 fans? It’s fantastic.”

Loic Benquet scored for the Timberwolves two minutes after Izett’s goal, but UNBC was unable to snare an equalizer.

The WolfPack doled out $3,500 in tuition credits and also honoured Jude Mitton at the game, including him in the club’s pre-game starting lineup.

Mitton, a Grade 5 student at Lloyd George elementary, lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

He was unveiled as a WolfPack recruit last week to a standing ovation at TRU’s student-athlete orientation.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Jude to the WolfPack,” WolfPack athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson said in a press release. “He is someone who leads by example and every single member of our department is better for having Jude join us.”

TRU backed up the victory with another 2-1 win over UNBC on Saturday at Hillside Stadium, this time in front of 574 fans.

Lewis scored his

team-leading fifth goal of the campaign and Elijah Dos Santos netted his first Canada West goal.

Jackson Gardner was between the pipes for the Pack both nights.

Michael Henman buried his conference-leading eighth goal for the T-Wolves in a losing effort on Saturday.

TRU, which will play host to the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship in November, sits atop the Pacific Division with a record of 5-1 and is off to its best start in program history.

The WolfPack will square off against the Saskatchewan Huskies (1-3-1) on Saturday in Saskatoon.

UNBC (2-3-1) is slated to play the Alberta Golden Bears (1-0-4) on Friday in Edmonton and the Pronghorns (1-4) on Saturday in Lethbridge.

Canada-U.S. clash in Kamloops Kamloops and Kelowna will play host to Rivalry Series games between the Canadian and U.S. national women’s hockey teams, according to a Hockey Canada press release published on Monday.

Game 1 will take place on Nov. 15 at Prospera Place in the Little Apple, with Game 2 slated for Nov. 17 at Sandman Centre.

The contests will mark Canada’s first action on home ice since winning gold at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing and 2022 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

Canada edged the U.S. 2-1 on Sept. 4 to win gold at the world

championship, which took place in Denmark. The Canadians knocked off the Americans 3-2 on Feb. 17 to earn Olympic gold in China.

“Both games will feature the best players in the world competing against each other at the highest level and we cannot wait to reignite

one of the most intense rivalries in sports,” said Gina Kingsbury, director of hockey operations for Hockey Canada.

Ticket information will be released at a later date.

The 2022-2023 Rivalry Series will feature seven games between November and February, including two additional matchups being hosted in Canada in early 2023.

Host locations will be announced in the coming months.

Kamloops played host to the 2016 World Women’s Hockey Championship. The U.S. bested Canada 1-0 in overtime in the goldmedal game.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Camryn Curts of the TRU WolfPack celebrates her goal with teammates on Friday at Hillside Stadium. The Pack edged the Regina Cougars 3-2.

Undefeated weekend

Bridget Baird, with her first goal in the Canada West ranks, made sure the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team snared points in both of their weekend home games at Hillside Stadium.

Baird, a first-year midfielder from Oshawa, Ont., scored in the 84th minute to secure a 2-2 tie with the Saskatchewan Huskies on Saturday.

“After conceding, they showed character again and I think that’s a real testament to the group and how hard they work for each other,” WolfPack women’s soccer head coach Mark Pennington told TRU Sports Information.

Emily Clark opened the scoring for TRU (1-2-1) on Saturday in support of goalkeeper Marissa Young.

Second-half goals from Jade Houmphanh and Cheyenne Lehmann gave the visitors from Saskatchewan a 2-1 lead before Baird tallied the equalizer.

The WolfPack, who did not register a goal on opening weekend in home losses to

Calgary (5-0) on Sept. 3 and UNBC (1-0) on Sept. 4, found their scoring touch on Friday in a 3-2 triumph over Regina in front of nearly 800 fans at Hillside.

Clark, Ainsley Grether and Camryn Curts did the damage for the Pack, who went with Young between the pipes.

Regina fought back from a two-goal deficit to tie the game at 2-2, with Jessica Merk notching the equalizer in the 53rd minute.

Clark, a third-year forward from Kamloops, bagged the winner with an impressive individual effort, her curling shot finding the back of the net in the 78th minutes.

The WolfPack are scheduled to play twice this weekend in Alberta — against the Mount Royal Cougars (2-11) on Saturday in Calgary and Pronghorns (0-3) in Lethbridge on Sunday.

“I’m really proud of an unbeaten weekend,” Pennington said. “We will take the four points and move on to next weekend.”

Kamloops will play host to three BCRU contests on Saturday, Sept.

The men will square off against Abbotsford, with the thirds to get underway at 11:30 a.m. and the firsts to follow at 1 p.m.

Kamloops’ women will play host to Burnaby, with kickoff slated for 2:30 p.m.

WEEKLYHOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

SEPTEMBER14-SEPTEMBER20,2022

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

It may seem challenging to manage your professional responsibilities with your home life this week, Cancer. Take a day off and give yourself time to exhale.

Aries, think about waking up very early or staying up late to enjoy some quiet time. You can improve upon this sense of peace by enjoying the respite outdoors.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

You may be tempted to live the week in a fantasy world, Taurus.

However, there are too many pressing issues that need your attention for you to tune out.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Leo, your love life is a big roller coaster this week, and you may not know if you are on or off with this special someone. It may be time to sit down and have a serious discussion.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Gemini, this will be a week to focus on financial gain, but don’t put too much swagger into your business negotiations; otherwise, your plans may backfire.

Libra, confusion or an argument may cause a lack of passion between you and your romantic partner this week. It’s only a temporary situation and can be resolved.

You may feel that others are not giving you the respect you deserve, Scorpio. If this pertains to your career, start polishing your resume and putting out feelers.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

It is possible that you have outgrown certain people in your social circle, Virgo. Don’t feel bad about removing those who fit this description. There are new friends to be made.

Move at your own pace this week, Sagittarius. There is no reason to rush around. Take leisurely breakfasts and enjoy strolls around the neighbourhood.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, you may be feeling more emotional than usual and that may lead to some unfamiliar situations. Give yourself some space to process your emotions.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The perfectionist in you may be unhappy with the work of a loved one or colleague, Aquarius. Try not to critique the job they do harshly.

Let constructive criticism prevail.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Do you need a confidence boost, Pisces? If so, surround yourself this week with all of those people who love and support you.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be.

So, he put his arms around you and whispered “Come to me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you, as you slowly slipped away, And though we loved you dearly, we couldn’t make you stay.

Your golden heart stopped beating, your tired hands put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

Ruth Anna Pitz

July 11, 1938 - August 31, 2022 The family of Ruth Anna Pitz would like to announce her sudden passing on August 31, 2022 at 84 years of age. She is survived by her devoted husband of 65 years, Ed Pitz, as well as her loving daughter Liz McCaugherty and son-in-law Hugh McCaugherty, sister Eileen Gledhill and brother-in-law Gary Gledhill, grandsons Stephen and Jon McCaugherty, and nephew Darrel Gledhill.

Ruth was born in Calgary, Alberta on July 11, 1938, to immigrant parents Anna and Maurice Schlogel from Steinbach, Austria. She met the love of her life, Ed, while she was working at Sullivan’s Coffee Shop in 1957. On their first date, they went for a ride on Ed’s motorcycle and six months later they were married.

Peter was born May 20, 1937 in the town of Mersino Alto, Italy. He was the seventh of nine children. Peter always had a dream to come to Canada and on his birthday in 1957 his wish came true, arriving by boat in Halifax. He then took a train across Canada to meet his sister Mafalda and her family in Clearwater, BC. Shortly after, Peter began to work for CN Rail. He also worked on the Mica Dam Project and with BC Hydro on the Arrow Lakes Dam project. In the early 60’s, he began to work for Clearwater Timber Products loading rail cars and driving carrier trucks for the mill.

Peter continued to work for various lumber mills in Clearwater and Vavenby, until he officially retired at 65.

Fourteen months after that Liz was born to complete the family of three.

In May 1972, he returned to Italy for a visit, where he met his future wife. They exchanged letters and phone calls until Ernestina came to Canada and they were married on December 2, 1972 in Kamloops, BC. Soon after they were blessed with two daughters, Mary and Lori. As a family, Peter, Ernestina and his girls loved to travel to the many hot springs all over BC in a Ford Econoline van that he converted himself. The family also traveled back to Italy as Peter was always wanting to show his two girls his family and heritage which was extremely important to him.

A small family gathering was held on September 9, 2022. Condolences can be sent to DrakeCremation.com.

In the mid 90’s, Peter and Ernestina built their dream home overlooking Kamloops.

Throughout his life Peter was an avid gardener, carefully tending to his many vegetable gardens and fruit trees. He loved making wine in the cellar for his family and friends to enjoy. Peter cherished having his family and friends over and loved to make everyone laugh with his unforgettable smile and humorous stories.

She bounced back and forth from Kamloops to Calgary until she made Kamloops her permanent home in 1991 to be with her first-born grandchild, Jon. Ruth was a lover of travel, eating out, playing bingo or slots at the casino, and of course, spending time with her family.

Ruth will be greatly missed by her family who cherishes the memories made with her.

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.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

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

Kathy was born in Kamloops BC on March 6, 1952.

She is survived by her sisters MaryAnn, Fern, and her brother Alf. Also her children Adam, Andrew, Anthony and her granddaughter Hailey.

Patricia “Sally” Mary Tupholme (Joslin/Tunstall) April 1923 - September 2022

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Sally Tupholme. She died peacefully on Sept. 2nd with her daughter Nicolette and granddaughter Jessica by her side. The late summer evening held a hint of autumn in the air, reminiscent of times spent at her favourite retreat at Park Point on Shuswap Lake; a cabin where she shared many happy hours with her children and grandchildren and entertaining family and friends, especially at Thanksgiving.

Sally’s interests were many and varied. She was known for her sense of style and grace, ability to make every meal she prepared a culinary delight and her attention to detail. She was a formidable Scrabble player, sewed, knitted and crocheted to create professional looking garments, linens and gifts, was an avid reader and had an incredible memory for facts. Sally also enjoyed bridge and theatre, served on the board of the Kamloops Symphony, the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and the Kamloops Parks and Recreation Commission.

Sally was a keen tennis player both on the court and in supporting tennis in the community. Her formal training in physical education and physiotherapy ensured that she was very fit and capable on the court.

Sally’s competitive streak made her a sought-after partner but her most cherished award was the one she received for sportsmanship.

Her teaching career started in England and recommenced in 1958 in Kamloops where she moved skillfully through various roles as teacher, principal, counsellor, and finally to librarian. She served on many committees for the school district improving and developing educational programs and providing enrichment opportunities for students.

She continues to be remembered by colleagues and students as a wonderful teacher and inspirational mentor.

Sally was predeceased by Ted Joslin, (the dreamer and husband she emigrated to Canada with in 1956) and her brothers Tony and Don. She lost her loving husband of thirteen years John Tupholme in 2007. Sally’s generous heart extended openly to her entire family. This included her children and their partners Dominic and Mary (Australia), Simon and Dalyce (Victoria), Jolyon (Kamloops) and Nicolette and Vic (Kamloops) and Nicolette’s first partner Wilf (Kamloops). Her grandchildren Jessica, Dustin, Joel, Simon, Marianna, Noel, Gabrielle and Katherine and great grandchildren Madison, Joe, Teddy and Margot, were forever a delight and joy to her. Sadly, it will have to be through shared memories that her great grandchildren Jakob, Tommy, Sid, Henry and Mariarosa learn of the limitless love Sally had for her family.

Sally never forgot where she came from, kept lines of communication open to relatives in England, embraced John Tupholme’s extended family and was a loyal and gracious friend to all.

The family wishes to send a big thank you to the staff at Hospice (Overlander) for their care and attention during the final weeks of Sally’s life. The assistance Hospice provided freed the family to make the best of their last days and hours with the person who had given so much to everyone over the 99 years she graced their presence.

There will be a small informal open house for family and friends on October 15th between 2 – 6 pm at 755 St Paul Street in Kamloops for those who wish to pay their respects and take a moment to reflect on Sally’s life. She was dearly loved and a true inspiration.

To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. ~William Blake 1863

The family then moved to Richmond where Glen worked in Reforestation in the Vancouver district. In 1972, they moved to Hope for Glen to take on the Ranger position. The last few years prior to retirement, Glen worked as an Operations Manager in Rosedale. He retired in 1986. Glen and Marlene lived in Hope for 42 years. During that time, Glen was very active in the Kawkawa Lake Volunteer Fire Department. Glen and Marlene travelled a lot; visiting Sweden, Hawaii and Australia as well as cruising extensively. They also made numerous trips on the Gold Wing throughout Canada and the United States. They moved to Kamloops to be closer to family in 2016.

There will be no formal ceremony, the family will have a small private function at a later date.

Edward George Fox (Ted) Edward George Fox (Ted), 82, of Tappen, BC, passed away on Friday, August 26, 2022 in Salmon Arm, BC. Ted was born in Strasburg, SK to Grace and Robert Fox in September of 1939. He grew up and went to high school in Gibbs and in 1969 earned his Journeyman Electrician Certificate in Regina. To date he was a 56 year member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

Over his many years Ted enjoyed playing and watching sports (as well as his children’s). He played fastball, golf, and curled for many years and still enjoyed watching the CFL – Go Riders! He loved his old Ford Thunderbirds and on occasion even shared them with his nieces or sister-in-law to show off at school!

Although an electrician by trade, he was very skilled with his hands and took to woodworking in recent years and was also an avid leatherworker in his younger years. He used to camp, play in ball tournaments and party with friends until eventually putting down roots in Kamloops, BC and later retired to the Shuswap where for over two decades he has proudly tended to his home. He enjoyed puttering in his shop and his gardens – Did he ever tell you story about the squirrels that tried to steal his tomatoes? Later in life he learned that he enjoyed travelling and looked forward to getting away each winter for an adventure or two. He was involved in his community and could sometimes be found “volunteering” at the Sunnybrae Senior’s Center flipping pancakes.

Those that loved him saw beyond the tough talk and take no guff first impression to the fella with the slow starting smile who was always ready and willing to lend a hand to others and share a laugh or two.

Ted is survived by his two sisters (Fay and Marie), his two sons Jason (Cora-Lee) and Clinton (Alyssa), his daughter Lisa (Marty) along with his grandchildren Emma, Meghan, Trystan, Talin, Kassidy and Shaylan and multiple nieces, nephews and cousins, many of whom adored him and he was so very proud of. He is preceded in death by his wife Susan, his brother Bill and his sister Vivian.

It is with complete and utter sadness that we regretfully announce the sudden passing of Jay Nijholt on September 2, 2022.

He is survived by his mother, Sherry, his father, Frits, his sister, Tamara (Shane), his brother, Cory (Brittany), his niece, Nevaeh, and his world and stars, his fiancée, Nadine. There are also countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, team mates and co-workers who share in this tragic loss.

Jay had a zest for life that few could match. He loved snowboarding, concerts, and beach volleyball, but soccer was his passion. It was this passion that brought him and Nadine together.

Jay was a perfectionist in his trade and was a true professional. He took immense pride in his work, and took great care of his employees. All who knew him were truly blessed.

In loving memory of Sonia Marjorie Lehrle (Duck) August 25, 2022 Sonia Marjorie Lehrle (Duck) passed away one day shy of her 92nd birthday on August 25, 2022. Mom grew up on a cattle ranch purchased by her grandparents in 1901.

During The Depression, early ranch life meant sharing a home with cousins, it was not unusual to have 18 people at the table for meals. There were so many children that a teacher was added to the household, saving a long trek to the schoolhouse. Sonia learned the art of sewing from an Aunt, taught to drive at 9 years old and shared a bed with her sister Shirley, and, to her passing, was careful not to roll over and disturb her.

Early June 1945, Sonia’s father, having been away for 6 years, returned home from war.

Mom recalled how her family set out at 4 a.m., walking about a mile to the railroad station where they waited to see him step down from the train. It was an unbelievable moment for a 12, 15, and 17 year old. They went to a hotel where the adults had a drink, and then took a taxi home. It was Sonia’s first time in a taxi! The ranch, no longer owned by family, is located in Holmwood between Monte Lake and Barnhartvale (Kamloops).

In 1953, Mom married my Dad, Bill Lehrle, had two children: Garth and Vashti. In 1975, the loss of Garth, a Bush Pilot in Prince Rupert, took a toll on Mom and their marriage. Thankfully her creative talents, sewing, knitting, embroidery, and painting, brought her peace. In our Tsawwassen home, with a hammer in hand, Mom displayed her ingenuity, determination, and independence by building a large bar in the family room. I am sure this is where I learned to swear.

Mom enjoyed long walks, coffee at Donna’s Rocky Mountain Café followed by games of Bridge. Oh my gosh! She loved Bridge. She also loved her son-in-law Terry Lawrence for his big Sunday night dinners making sure she had her favourites.

Sonia was “Abba” to her Grandchildren,

Margaret Helen Hutchinson Margaret was born in Pincher Creek, Alberta on February 22, 1925. She passed away in Kamloops, BC on September 5, 2022. Margaret is survived by her daughter Chris, her grandchildren: Steven (Nicole), Caitlin (Graham) and Alix, and her great-granddaughters: Charlie Dolson; Macey and Maggie MacLaughlin; and Sage and Juniper Dolson.

She was predeceased by her husband, Charles ‘Scott’ Hutchinson, and their infant son Lawrence Scott; her brother Donald Kerr, her sister Ruth Fisher and their parents Andrew Kerr and Edith Mary Flanagan Kerr; and her son-in-law Grant Dolson.

Margaret Hutchinson will be remembered by literally thousands of former students from a career teaching in Kamloops elementary schools from 1944 until 1990 and from decades of volunteerism at Kamloops United Church, and in various literacy programs following her official retirement.

Margaret came to Kamloops from Victoria, at the invitation of her best friend whom she met at the Provincial Normal School, to complete her teaching practicum in the spring of 1944. She stayed, and at the mature age of 19 began her career at the two-room Brocklehurst School as the teacher in a classroom with 48 students in four grades. Following stints at Valleyview and Allen Matthews Schools, Margaret spent the last three decades of her career at Beattie Elementary School. She set something of a school district attendance record, never taking a single sick day in 45 years of fulltime teaching.

Devon and Britt Lawrence (Joel Formosa). Her last week, Mom captured their imagination with all her stories. Luckily enough, she attained the status of Great Grandma to Austin Dawson Lawrence and little Brady Formosa.

A warm family atmosphere was created at The Views in Comox, Mom’s home for 3 years.

Our thanks to all who cared for and respected her. You all made it enjoyable to visit.

Mom was a true British Columbian, but the Kamloops ranch was her heart. She will join the family at Holmwood Cemetery.

Predeceased by son Garth, parents Arthur and Martha Duck, and siblings Shirley Jaron and Ian Duck.

In 1946 Margaret married her best friend’s brother Scott, who ranched south of Kamloops. In the 1950’s the couple built a home in Knutsford, where they lived for over fifty years. Margaret never gave up her fight against weeds on the driveway, even after she moved into her daughter’s house next door. During the last ten years, Margaret received understanding and compassionate care at ACSS, and since January 2022 at Overlander.

Margaret’s one true source of joy was her grandchildren, and each of them have many fond and funny memories of their grandma.

In lieu of flowers and cards please consider a donation, in memory of Margaret, to Kamloops United Church (421 St. Paul Street) https://kamloopsunited.ca/ or to a literacy program like Raise a Reader Kamloops at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/42475 .

Margaret was always adamant that no fuss be made, so there will be no service.

Arrangements entrusted to Schoenings.

He is survived by his three daughters, Randi (Norman), Robin (Greg) and Jessi (Ken), his six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, brother Carman (Barbara) and nieces and nephews.

Later, Robert moved to Vancouver to study at the University of British Columbia, graduating as a civil engineer (class of ‘49). He was also on the UBC hockey team, and belonged to the Varsity Outdoor Club. Robert had a long and successful career as a civil engineer. His projects took him to many parts of the world, presenting him with both interesting work and travel opportunities.

Robert’s main priority was his family and he was a devoted husband to his wife Marjorie. As a parent, father-in-law and grandparent, Robert was always ready to chat, be a mentor, and watch a hockey game. He will be dearly missed by his family and memories of him long cherished.

It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the passing on August 19,2022 of Lucas Lee White. Lucas is survived by his parents Robert (Julie) White, Nina (Bob) Ferguson, his sons Cole, Isaac and Samuel and his daughter Ashten. He also leaves his paternal grandmother Beatrice Shaner, his sister Renee (Mike Witt) White, step-brothers Jason, Kiel, Sean, step-sisters Sorrel and Alex as well as a significant number of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and numerous friends.

Lucas was born in Kamloops, BC on August 13, 1974. He grew up in Kamloops initially before the family moved to Pritchard when he was nine. He graduated from Chase High School in 1993. As an adult he lived mainly in Armstrong and Chase.

Lucas was a kind and generous person, known as “that guy” who would help anyone in need. He could grow anything and his gardens were amazing. He could build anything including structures and furniture. Lucas could fix anything from small motors and appliances to vehicles and farm equipment. He was a very good mechanic. Lucas drove semi trucks for a number of years and had just recently made the choice to return the school.

The world is definitely a sadder place without him. He was taken far too soon.

A private family memorial is planned for a later date.

Howard Scott Stein

November 6, 1951 - September 11, 2022 It is with great sadness and infinite heartbreak that we announce the passing of Howard Scott Stein. Howard had an uphill battle in his fight with Pulmonary Fibrosis and succumbed to it on his own terms with his cherished family right by his side. He was upbeat, happy and making friends with passersby right until the very end, in true Howard fashion.

Howard loved his family of course but we all know what he really loved (and hated)…his sports! Howard was a passionate Canucks fan (some might say TOO passionate), a dedicated Blue Jays fan, a BC Lions fan and later on, a Raptors fan. If you wanted to know where Howie was on a Saturday night, you could bet he was in a living room watching hockey, swearing at Rob Shick, “shooting” at the opposition or Hi-Fiving the boys!

Over the course of the last few months, hundreds of friends, young and old, have reached out, expressing their love and warmth but there seemed to be a reoccurring theme; How comfortable Howie always made people feel, how big his heart was and how everyone was always welcome at the Stein house. If you grew up on the North Shore between 1992-2000 odds were you attended at least ONE of the infamous Stein house parties… AND odds are you shared a laugh with Howie!

Howard also loved scoping out vintage cars, listening to his Elvis and his 70’s Gold, watching his Young & The Restless soap (which always baffled us!) and spending time with his wife… his best friend… his confidant…Laurie. While battling IPF, he was able to find some peace living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in the small community of Sechelt where Laurie and Howie were able to play in the sand and bask in the sun.

Howard wanted to help future patients of IPF and insisted that his body be donated to the Science department at UBC to help learn more about this terrible disease.

There will be a private ceremony held at Howard’s favourite “spot” of Davis Bay at our family’s discretion.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Howard’s name to the Canucks For Kids Fund Howard will live on in the hearts and minds of those he left behind: His wife Laurie, son Dennon, daughter Darcell, granddaughter Katie-Rose, brothers Norm & Len, and sisters Sheryl, Sam, Bev & Debbie.

Janet Patricia Bells

March 2, 1969 - August 20, 2022 With heavy hearts we are saddened to announce the passing of our beautiful Janet; wife, mother, sister and friend after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her loved ones.

She leaves behind her husband Clayton, two children Jake and Lexi, sisters Debbie (Greg), Delores, and younger brother Wade (Thersea), in-laws June and Wilfred Bells, Shawn (Rechelle), Kim (Kevin) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She will be remembered fondly by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and friends on both sides of the family. She will be additionally greatly missed by her beloved dog Raine.

Arlyn West (Froese) In loving memory of our mom.

Mom went peacefully with her five children by her side at the age of 86, on September 2, 2022, at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in Kamloops, BC. Mom was born in Melville, Saskatchewan on November 16, 1935, to her parents Herman Froese (Pops) 1896 - 1963 and Elfrida Wenland (Oma) 1910 - 1997.

Mom was the middle child of her 12 other siblings. She was born into a musical and talented family. A special memory was when mom, nine years of age, sang with her sister Rita at the radio station before going to Church Service. She also harmonized with her sisters Merle, Judy and Donna.

A special time for us all to enjoy was the Rock Creek Family Reunion. Families from everywhere came for this fun packed weekend of music and talent. The highlight was floating on tubes down the Kettle Creek River on those hot sunny days to cool off. These times are cherished memories.

Mom enjoyed her family travels on an Alaskan cruise, Germany, Hawaii and Yuma!

And to her favourite lakes were Canim Lake, Paul Lake, Riverside Park and Osoyoos Lake.

Mom ventured off opening businesses, Budget Boutique (Brocklehurst), A’Jays decal T-Shirt shop (Westsyde) and A’Jays Shoe and Sears pick up in Osoyoos with her sister Judy.

When mom felt ready, she moved to the Mayfair Residence in Kamloops where she was involved with many committees. For six years mom and her dear friend Ileen organized a bingo night weekly. A special thank you to Ileen for being her bingo caller. Mom was happiest when she was involved. She had an abundance of energy and made many lasting friendships. Mom enjoyed writing poetry which she wrote for everyone’s special occasions and enjoyed drawing.

Her pride and joy were all her grandchildren, Nana loved spending time playing card and board games, she was competitive! Nana also treasured her one-on-one talks with her grandchildren and looked forward to their warm hugs and kisses.

We loved mom for who she was. She passed on her strength and unconditional love, she was a remarkable woman, strong and determined with a beautiful smile.

Mom is survived by her five children Danny Wilson, Gail (Mark) Ayres, Cindy (Murray) Denison, Tammy (Kevin) Cameron, Tom (Sandra) Wilson. Grandchildren (Nana), Benjamin, Mathew, Jaclyn, Sheri, Jeremy, David, Jenna, Chris, Tara, Mike, Dylan, and Alex.

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he Yew Street Food Hall has officially opened its doors, with a concept new to Kamloops that offers 10 food vendors under one roof.

It is located on the ground floor of The Colours on Spirit Square, just off Tranquille Road in North Kamloops.

The operation isn’t catering to franchises, so the food hall’s restaurants are owner/operator-focused and, for the most part, unique to Kamloops.

Food and drink vendors already open include Duck Duck Pork, Mittz and Co., Brews on Yew/ Drinks on Yew, Harvest Moon Bakery, Veggie Bomb and Inferno Pizza.

While initially there were plans for typical commercial storefronts on the ground floor, the idea evolved into something a bit more involved.

Arpa Investments partner and spokesperson Joshua Knaak said the project was a long time coming, pointing to the work done by brothers Jeff and Steve Mitton, who not only manage the operation, but also operate two restaurants inside: Mittz and Co. and Inferno Pizza.

The Mittons also operate Mittz Kitchen downtown and Twisted Steak in Aberdeen, which is soon set to move into the old Keg restaurant near the Sandman Centre.

Jeff Mitton said the food hall is a great opportunity for vendors, as the operation has taken on many of the expenses typically seen in opening a restaurant.

“What are the chances that

some of these small businesses could come in, do a build-out like this, have a modern-style restaurant without having to put any money down on it?” he said.

Two of those small business owners are Nick Driver and partner Christy Carnegie. The two met in culinary school and have been working in the industry for the

past 15 years. Together, they’ll be running the Harvest Moon Bakery, having moved the operation from Sorrento.

“We are both very communityminded, so this really speaks to us not just in a personal sense, but in a business sense, as well. We’ve already talked to several of the different vendors who want our prod-

“Proud to be voted #1.

Thank you to our clients and readers!”

ucts in their menu,” Driver said.

Driver will be focused on baking bread, while Carnegie plans on expanding offerings with pastries.

As with a few other vendors in the food hall, Harvest Moon is not quite off the ground yet. Driver said one permit from the city is still pending and he hopes to open as soon as possible.

Other vendors yet to officially open include Taco Rojo Cantina, Porcini’s Pasta Fresca and Lemongrass.

Driver is excited to get to work, though, and has embraced the coop-style model.

“This model is growing. The co-op style is really popular and some of them have been wildly successful,” he said.

Mitton said he feels a duty to help these restaurants survive, noting there is already a good sense of community among vendors.

One potential hiccup is the ongoing staffing issues faced by businesses across B.C. and North America — especially restaurants.

“We need people in our kitchens. That’s the main thing that’s slowing us down from really getting this thing off and flying,” Mitton said.

As part of the Great Resignation, restaurants, airlines, schools and nursing homes are facing a labour crunch as workers move on.

Mitton, like many others, said he’s still trying to nail down the cause.

“I hope it’s cyclical, but we might have to change the way we’re all doing things if things don’t start coming around,” he said.

MEMORIES OF MEETING QUEEN ELIZABETH II

The queen visited Kamloops on two occasions during her reign — and twice as a teenage princess CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

N

ews of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 8 at the age of 96 elicited a flood of memories

worldwide.

Some of those memories came from Kamloops residents as Elizabeth visited the city four times — twice as princess and twice as queen.

Elizabeth’s death prompted local aviation historian Neil Burton to note visits to Kamloops by the queen over the years.

In May 1939, the Royal Family visited Canada for a six-week coast-to-coast tour by train, including a stop in Kamloops.

The visit was a first by a reigning British monarch. King George VI, wife Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth, 13, and Princess Margaret, 8, steam-trained their way into towns and cities. It would be more than a decade before Elizabeth would become queen.

Kamloops resident Rose Blades was six years old at the time, attending a one-room schoolhouse in Brocklehurst and among those chosen to be part of the entertainment during the royal stopover.

Having heard of the royal visit to the River City, Blades’ class was eventually chosen to be part of the entertainment during the stopover in Kamloops.

Blades was among eight pupils chosen to perform a dance dressed in Dutch costumes, which were made by mothers of the children.

It was warm that spring day and Blades fainted. She recovered after some time in the medical tent and joined her classmates for the dance.

“I do remember this,” she said, “They were on a platform on the last car and they came out to greet us and we danced.”

There were presentations from several other schools before the Royal Family continued on their trip.

In the fall of 1951, the thenprincess and family again visited the city, greeting residents in Riverside Park.

Andrea Martin was five years old in Grade 1 at Lloyd George elementary in late October 1951 when the school’s entire student body and all staff marched down to Riverside Park to see Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip.

The future queen and her husband were not scheduled to be in Kamloops, with the visit an unexpected side trip from their official

itinerary in the Okanagan.

Martin, who retired from teaching 20 years ago and now lives in Victoria, said seeing the princess that day still resonates with her today.

“That is my most exciting memory of Kamloops,” Martin, 76, said. “I just remember how excited we all were to be taken down to Riverside Park, the whole school, to meet Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. I was looking for a real princess with a real crown and all that. But it was raining and miserable and she was wearing an ordinary wool coat and hat. But we were still so exited.”

Martin said a classmate was also searching for a fairy tale princess, at one point being shushed by a teacher for shouting out, “She isn’t a real princess!”

In July 1959, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived in Kamloops at the Canadian Pacific Railway station. From the rail station grounds, the motorcade of the Royal party toured a small area of Kamloops, then headed to the baseball grounds at Riverside Park, where they were escorted to a raised platform.

After the ceremony, the motorcade proceeded west on Victoria Street, crossing the bridge and passing through North Kamloops

and Brocklehurst en route to Fulton Field at Kamloops Airport.

In May 1971 during B.C.’s Centennial Celebration, the Smokey 2, a four-engine aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force, landed in Kamloops and taxied to the passenger terminal building.

On board were Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and Princess Anne.

The trio was met on the apron by then-MLA Philip Gaglardi, Kamloops Mayor Peter Wing and airport manager Jim Mills and spouses of the three.

The Royal party entered automobiles, travelled eastward along the apron and returned via the airport entrance road, where about 4,000 people were waiting around the parking area. A dais was set up in the parking lot just to the northwest of the passenger terminal. The queen didn’t address the crowd, but the royalty mingled freely with the crowd. Queen Elizabeth was presented a bouquet of flowers by 10-year old Vivian Zumino.

Mayor Wing presented the queen with a painting, on behalf of the citizens of Kamloops, of the Balancing Rock near Savona, by local artist Doris Nelson.

The Mount Paul Indian Dancers, led by Mildred Gottfriedsen, performed tradi-

tional dances to the beat of a skin drum and the Kamloops Indian Residential School girls band performed several numbers.

It appears the Royal visit only lasted between 35 and 50 minutes.

During that 1971 visit, the royalty also visited Prince George, where Jim Madill told KTW he met Queen Elizabeth when he was 17 years old and in Grade 11. Madill said he spoke to the queen in Fort George Park.

“I spoke to her very briefly because she had so much security around her,” Madill said, noting he told her he was a trainee reporter at the Prince George Citizen. “I said, ‘It’s nice to meet you. You’re a very beautiful person.’ And she thanked me very much.”

Madill said Queen Elizabeth was “a very remarkable lady who is going to be missed by a lot of people around the world.”

While the monarchy is now headed by King Charles III — the 73-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth — Madill said the future of the monarchy and its place in society is “very much up in the air.”

In March 1983, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip again visited B.C., spending time in Victoria, Vancouver and Vernon, with Prince Phillip stopping in Kamloops.

LITERACY IN KAMLOOPS

A

cross B.C., 400 communities join literacy organization Decoda Literacy Solutions to celebrate September as Literacy Month.

Kamloops and surrounding rural communities will celebrate the 15th annual Raise a Reader campaign the week of Sept. 19 to Sept. 23. To date, the campaign has raised more than $1.3 million to support local literacy programs.

More than 700,000 people in B.C. struggle with literacy challenges.

Local literacy programs help increase the literacy and learning skills of children, youth, adults and seniors to improve their quality of life at home, at work and in the community.

“Literacy in all its forms helps us connect to each other, to our communities and to better opportunities,” said Sandra Lee, new executive director at Decoda Literacy Solutions.

At home, literacy connects par-

ents and caregivers to their kids.

By reading and playing together every day, we help build our children’s literacy skills. Literacy connects us to health. Literacy skills help us find, understand and use health information so we can enjoy better

health and live longer. Having strong numeracy skills helps us manage our money better.

At work, literacy connects us to employment. People with strong literacy skills have more job opportunities and can earn more money.

Literacy connects us to workplace safety and to job-related learning and upgrading.

In the community, literacy connects us to civic engagement. People with strong literacy skills are more likely to vote and volunteer. Literacy

connects us to others.

Literacy skills help us communicate, participate and feel included.

Literacy skills help us understand our rights and our responsibilities.

Literacy connects us to the digital world and digital access and skills allow people to fully participate in society.

Donations can be made online at raiseareader.ca or in person on Wednesday, Sept. 21, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., when volunteers will once again be at popular morning stops in Kamloops and the surrounding area, hawking special editions of Kamloops This Week for a donation to literacy.

RCMP steps up to plate for Special Olympics KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Local Mounties and the Kamloops Special Olympics are going head-to-head on Wednesday, Sept. 14, on the ball diamond to raise awareness of, and funds for, the non-profit organization.

The charity softball game will take place at 6 p.m. at McArthur Island’s Norbrock Stadium, where the Special Olympics Softball Team face the Kamloops Law Enforcement Team.

Admission to the family-friendly ball game is by donation. Hotdogs and drinks will be available for purchase and there will be prizes to be won, courtesy game sponsors Safeway, Dearborn Ford, Engel and Volkers and the Knights of Columbus.

Special Olympics BC is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities through sport. The charitable organization relies on public, corporate and government assistance to deliver low to no-cost athletic programs.

The game was organized by Kamloops RCMP Const. Sofie Winkles, who became involved with the Special Olympics about six years ago. Then, as a member of the community policing unit, she was responsible for organizing the detachment’s participation in the Summer Games Torch Run. “A lot of what police deal with is negative and this is just so happy and positive. The Special Olympics are just a great organization that I love to support,” Winkles said.

For more information on the Kamloops Special Olympics and Wednesday’s ball game, visit the Special Olympics BC Kamloops Facebook page.

Musicians-in-residence settling in at Kamloops public library KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

PATRIOTIC COMMUTER

Highly visible, as well as highly mobile, the patriotic fellow finds a clear lane to commute in the downtown streets on a sunny morning.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

The Thompson-Nicola Regional Library is playing a new tune with its residence program and will welcome three local artists as part of its new musician-in-residence series.

Previously, the library has hosted Deryn Collier as writer-in-residence and Ken Hegan as screenwriter-in-residence. Now, it’s set to welcome three different musicians for onemonth terms beginning this month.

On Sept. 14, multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Kneeshaw will begin offering classes on performing, instrument maintenance and recording on the cheap. He will also perform as part of the musician-in-residence concert experience.

Kneeshaw released his first album at age 19 and later moved on from being a full-time carpenter to playing music, including guitar, piano, drums, bass, mandolin, banjo, flute and accordion.

His four albums include a self-titled debut released in 2015, a cover album released in 2020 and two full-length albums released in 2019 and 2020. He performs as part of five different bands, ranging in genre from bluegrass to blues.

Following Kneeshaw’s tenure, Margit

Jeremy Kneeshaw leads off the program on Sept.

14.

Gossage will take over as musician-in-residence on Oct. 6.

Gossage is best known locally for her work in the Margit Sky Project, where she plays alongside partner Rod “Little Sky” Bandura. As a duo, the two have become a sought-after act in Western Canada.

Gossage was raised in Toronto and Vancouver and came to Kamloops in 1992, when she started playing guitar.

Tina Hebner will begin her tenure in November. Hebner is a classically trained musician who has been performing and teaching for more than 20 years, playing ukulele and guitar.

September is Community Foundations Month in B.C. THERE IS $600,000 TO DISBURSE, WITH THE NEXT DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS BEING OCT. 1 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

In 2020, the provincial government saw the need to raise awareness of the vital role community foundations have in B.C. and declared September to be Community Foundations Month.

Kamloops is home to a regional community foundation — the BC Interior Community Foundation (BCICF).

It is one of 52 community foundations across this province and helps to bring donors and residents together.

In a way that few other institutions can, community foundations work to support the efforts that will help the places we call home continue to flourish and grow.

Though many may not yet know the BC Interior Community Foundation, they have likely felt its impact.

Unlike charities, which raise money for a particular cause, donations to the BCICF are invested in permanent, endowed funds.

The principal is protected forever and the annual earnings are distributed for scholarships,

bursaries and grants to local charitable organizations.

“In 2021 we disbursed a record-breaking $490,000, the majority of which went to local charities, with needs ranging from food insecurity to seniors isolation, from accessible

summer camp opportunities for children with special needs and youth at risk to wellness programs for low-income mothers,” BCICF executive director Wenda Noonan said.

Since 1984, the BCICF has supported communities

in the region and sectors in those communities including health, the environment, youth, education, seniors, families, arts and culture.

This year, the BCICF has $600,000 available to disburse throughout the Thompson, Nicola and South Cariboo regions.

“One way groups can access our funding is through our small projects granting program,” Noonan said.

“Many of our region’s charities are struggling and just trying to survive. Our grant funding is easy to apply for. We have a simple online application form on our website. You’ll want to hurry though, as our next deadline for applications is Oct. 1.”

Former women university presidents to discuss lessons in leadership KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Thompson Rivers University is kicking off the fall semester by hosting a free public event, Lessons on Leadership: A Conversation with Women Leaders.

The event will feature the first, and only, female presidents of two major Canadian universities.

Martha Piper and Indira Samarasekera, who oversaw the University of British Columbia and University of Alberta, respectively, will sit down for a discussion with TRU provost and vice-president academic Gillian Balfour on Thursday, Sept. 15, at the Campus Activity Centre.

Piper and Samarasekera will share their personal and professional stories, which they have chronicled in a new book, Nerve: Lessons on Leadership from Two Women

Who Went First.

Copies of the book are available at the TRU Book Store and at the event, where there will be a signing opportunity.

“As women, we know how to work hard in spades,” Piper told University Affairs recently.

“Nobody works as hard as women do. But what we often lack is nerve. And by nerve, I mean the decision to act, to step out, to do something a little differently and to counter the trends.”

“Courage is facing things that come at you; nerve is stepping out and doing things that are different, are difficult, are scary,” Samarasekera said in the same article.

“Leadership takes nerve,” Balfour said.

“Nerve is a sense of purpose and tenacity to do something

that others think you can’t do or shouldn’t do. Without other women leaders to witness and learn from, nerve is sometimes not enough ... We need to recognize our own potential to

lead, and to lift up other women along the way.”

The event is free to attend, but registration through eventbrite. com is requested as space is limited.

MUG SHOTS OF THE WEEK

REFUGEES AND FRIENDS TOGETHER (RAFT) IS HOSTING A TRAINING SESSION ON SEPT. 17 DAVE EAGLES STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

As Ukrainians continue to leave their homeland and seek refuge across the globe, Kamloops Immigrant Services and Refugees and Friends Together (RAFT), a refugee resettlement group of volunteers, is hosting a day of training to help newcomers to Kamloops.

Nearly 100 Ukrainian people, including children, have been assisted by the service in the past six months. More arrivals are expected in Kamloops in the coming weeks and months as the effects of the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine by Russian soldiers continue to be felt.

The Sept. 17 training session will teach volunteers ways to provide support, which could include everything from providing community orientation to cultural support to opportunities to practise English.

RAFT will assemble groups of five or six people who will support a family.

“I might be good at teaching people how to use the bus. You might be good at going to hockey games,” RAFT chair Nancy Bepple said.

“As a group, we can cover off the different things you want to do to support a family that is new to Kamloops. We’re just there to spend time with them, to support them, to talk to them about their kids, to tell them a little bit about Kamloops.”

The community support training session will be held at Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, 695 Robson Dr. in Upper Sahali, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with lunch provided at no cost to all participants. Pre-registration is required.

Those interested in taking part in the training session to be a volunteer can contact RAFT by email raft@kamloopsunited.ca or by visiting its website at raftkamloops.org.

There is a supplement you can take orally that helps to prevent hemorrhoids and also benefits cholesterol amongst other things.

Exploring the mangroves: We ‘Cayman’ by kayak JOHN GEARY

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

I

’d read so much about the dangers of jellyfish that I couldn’t believe our guide, Bob, was about to reach into the water and pick one up — in his bare

hand.

“Hmm, I wonder if we can navigate back out through the mangroves, to the beach ourselves?” I thought, visions of a suddenly incapacitated guide dancing through my head I worried for nothing, as it turned out.

While picking up a jellyfish is not usually a good idea in most cases, if you’re dealing with cassiopea, or the “upside-down jellyfish” — a type of jellyfish living in the mangroves of Grand Cayman Island — you can pick it up and live to tell the tale.

It does have a mildly toxic sting, but it fits in the palm of your hand, so adult humans rarely feel it.

These jellyfish are found in Caribbean mangrove swamps and can appear in a variety of colours. In an interesting example of symbiosis, Cassiopea is sometimes picked up by the crab species, dorippe frascone, and carried on its back to help the crab defend itself against potential predators.

The unusual jellyfish were just one of the natural wonders we experienced while paddling our two-person kayak through the mangroves from the big island’s Little Sound, located just south of Rum Point.

Paddling through a densely covered mangrove is an awesome way to discover the unique ecological characteristics of Grand Cayman Island.

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS PHOTO

It took us about 20 minutes to paddle across an open bay and into the sheltered mangroves, although it can take longer, depending how strong, and from which direction, the wind blows the day you paddle.

After that, it was pretty easy paddling through the water trails of the mangroves.

Once in the mangroves, our sit-on-top kayaks became a floating school of environmental education as our guide explained the nuances of mangrove ecology.

The area we paddled through is part of an 8,500-hectare wetland system, the central mangrove wetland, although only 1,500 hectares have environmental protection status.

There are three different types

Office open for walk-in traffic or by appointment

of mangroves: red, black and white. They all feature unique characteristics, each one fulfilling a slightly different ecological role, providing shelter and food for different types of plant and animal life.

For example, the small upsidedown jellyfish live in the red mangroves. These mangroves are right against the ocean.

Crabs, turtles, spiny lobsters and sponges also inhabit the red mangrove. Farther back, the black and white mangroves provide nesting and food sources for birds like the Grand Cayman parrot, West Indian whistling duck and snowy egrets, to name a few.

At one point while resting during our paddle, I swear I could hear parrots squawking off

in the distance. No luck seeing any, though, at least not from our kayaks. They nest in the black mangroves, just out of kayak accessibility.

While we didn’t see any parrots, I did spot a cowfish, briefly.

It swam up behind Bob’s kayak while we listened to him explain mangrove ecology, but quickly dove deeper when he turned around to look at it.

Normally, you can often see turtles and other sea creatures in the water, but the morning we went it was fairly overcast and not great for seeing too deep into the water.

Hawksbill turtles hang out here because of the number of sponges that grow in the man-

groves, sponges being a favourite food of that turtle species.

I guess they weren’t that hungry.

Speaking of reptiles and amphibians, at one time, the Grand Cayman mangroves were home to a species of crocodile native only to the island, but they were wiped out in the 20th century to save turtles, which were being raised domestically for food there at the time.

However, every now and then, rumours surface that, way back in the farthest reaches of the mangroves, there may be a few crocs still scraping out a living.

Bob told us that is fuelled by stories about a wild crocodile found on the island a few years ago and transferred to the Cayman Turtle Farm, a local research, conservation and education centre.

Just as we began to enter the bay on our return paddle, we got lucky and spotted a spiny lobster nestled down under the water.

Entering the bay, the wind picked up and was blowing straight into us. We had to stroke-stroke-stroke in order to make headway and our initial 20-minute trip became a 35-minute workout.

At one point, I was thinking the sponges have it pretty good.

Then, of course, I remembered that I don’t have to worry about being eaten by a turtle.

I’ll stick to padding.

In a frantic race with life, we miss the very essentials — peace and rest. For the fishermen to leave behind two boats full of fish to follow Jesus was something unusual. Something extraordinary must have happened. They saw something far beyond their livelihood. Now a new revelation had come to them.

“O Sabbath rest by Galilee. O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with Thee, the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. Silence often connotes to us aloofness or indifference.

Here it means God the Son communicating with his Father in love and adoration. There is no speech nor

He did to Elijah. But we will not be able to hear His voice if we are ‘busy’ for God. Whittier wrote: “Let flesh retire…”

Activities without waiting upon God can be carnal.

God wants us first to learn of Him, to seek His mind, and do His will.

We should let the Spirit of God work through us, then surely we will be engaged in building His kingdom.

“Cease striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

no exception.

The writer, John Greenleaf Whittier, a Quaker, was reared in an environment where his family was given to meditative silence.

An obnoxious and noisy “revival” service is said to have moved Whittier to write the said poem, wherein he paints the finest picture of true worship in five stanzas.

It begins with “Dear Lord and Father of mankind/forgive our foolish ways/ reclothe us in our rightful mind/in purer lives Thy service find/in deeper reverence praise.”

No doubt the poet had in mind the story of the Gadarene demoniac who was a raving lunatic, crying and cutting himself with stones (Mark 5:1-15).

When he saw Jesus, he cried with a loud voice: “Jesus, the Son of the Most High God.” But Christ did not accept his noisy, demonic worship, but quietened him and then healed him. It seems Whittier wrote not “foolish ways,” but “feverish ways” in the original.

This stanza is a prayer for spiritual sanity instead of religious madness.

Perhaps it’s a call to go deeper with the Lord rather than being ostentatious with our personal and church activities.

“In simple trust like theirs who heard/ beside the Syrian sea/the gracious calling of the Lord/let us like them without a

language where their voice is not heard.

Yet the communication was full of meaning, love and worship.

“Drop Thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess, the beauty of Thy peace.”

What the poet perhaps was trying to tell is that life is not a rat race of running, of activities, seeking fame and popularity. In running the race of life many get stressed and have mental breakdowns.

God wants to relieve us from these and give us His peace. Jesus said, “Come to me all that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

The troubled world wants to see peace.

The Christian’s witness for God is an ordered life.

“Breathe through hearts of our desire, Thy coolness and Thy balm, let sense be dumb, let flesh retire, speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm.”

Here is an illustration from the Old Testament story of Elijah (1 Kings 19:916).At Mount Carmel, Elijah showed his zeal for God by calling down fire from heaven and slew 450 prophets of Baal.

After all the high pressure activities, he suffered a breakdown and just wanted to die. He ran a marathon and hid himself in a cave fearing for his life.

There God revealed to him that He was not the tempestuous wind or the shattering earthquake or the devouring fire, but a still small voice.

In that calm voice, God commanded Elijah how to build up the ministry of anointing kings. He asked him to find a successor to continue God’s ministry.

God wants to speak to His followers as
