OVERDOSE ALERT ISSUED

A summer without a campfire ban

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the first the first time since 2011, campers in the Kamloops Fire Centre have been able to enjoy singalongs and s’mores around an open flame all summer long. However, fire information officer Max Birkner told KTW, that doesn’t mean a campfire ban isn’t still in the cards for early fall. Birkner noted the fire centre did ban campfires from Sept. 14 to Sept. 22 in 2011. “Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen,” he said. The last year with no campfire ban at all was 2008. Birkner said it’s impossible to predict whether the Kamloops area will see a campfire ban before midOctober, when other fire-related bans are lifted, marking the end of the season. “That would be similar to trying to predict a longterm forecast and it’s hard to predict what the weather would look like in the middle of September,” he said. “If it gets hot enough and if there are some larger fires, then we could put on a fire ban.” Bans are enacted based on weather conditions, the behaviour of existing fires and public compliance with fire-safety rules, such as putting out campfires before leaving a site. Birkner said cooler summer weather has helped bring down the number of hectares burned within the fire centre this year. Where more than 7,300 hectares of land had burned by this time in 2015, only 381 hectares have burned in 2016. For campers who are planning to set up fires over the Labour Day long weekend, Birkner said keeping an eye on the flames is key. “If you’re going camping, just put out the fire when you leave the campsite,” he said. “It’s a really simple thing to do. You just pour water on there and stir it around and make sure it’s completely out before you leave your campsite. That’s basically what we’re asking of people.”

Three-year-old Ethan runs with dad Julian along the Rivers Trail during a visit to Riverside Park. While the weather was welcoming for the duo, outdoors-loving folks will have to battle the elements this Labour Day long weekend. Environment Canada says rain will dominate, with highs hovering around 20 C.

ON A FULL CHARGE

Health officials have issued an overdose alert to Kamloops drug users after five reported overdoses — including one fatality — in 48 hours. The Interior Health Authority issued the alert on Wednesday afternoon, noting each of the overdoses appears to be connected to a sparkly white powder officials believe is being sold by drug dealers as cocaine. The alert pointed out drug abstinence is the safest way to avoid overdoses, but offered several tips for drug users, including not mixing drugs, not using drugs alone and not experimenting with higher doses. The alert also recommended keeping a close eye on friends while using drugs, carrying a naloxone kit and being able to recognize the signs of an overdose. “If someone thinks they may be having an overdose or is witnessing an overdose, call 911 immediately,” the alert stated.

The alert was issued on International Overdose Awareness Day as many B.C. health leaders rallied in Vancouver to bring more attention to the issue. In Kamloops, a candlelight vigil was held last night in Riverside Park. The IHA alert did not list fentanyl by name, but the potent opioid has been linked to a recent spike in overdoses in B.C. After a provincial public health crisis was declared in April, a provincial joint task force was formed to address the rising numbers of overdose deaths. A recent coroner’s service report revealed 433 apparent illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C. between Jan. 1 and July 31, with more than 62 per cent linked to fentanyl-laced drugs. Through the first half of this year, there were 22 overdose deaths in Kamloops, compared to seven such deaths in the city through the first six months of 2015. Of those 22 deaths, eight involved use of fentanyl.

A fire in a Sahali townhouse just past midnight as Monday became Tuesday has left its occupants homeless. Kamloops Fire Rescue investigator Ray Webster said the fire began when people in the McBeth Place residence were using a deep fryer on the stove, noting the flames quickly spread throughout the split-level home. “The house is definitely not habitable in any way, shape or form,” he said. There were no injuries. The townhouse sustained significant damage, though firefighters managed to douse it before it could engulf adjacent units. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Canada Post, union, agree to deal Canada Post and its largest union have reached a tentative settlement, averting the prospect of job action this week at the postal service. The tentative two-year agreements must still be ratified by more than 50,000 postal workers across the country before they become new contracts. “We can’t give details of the agreements at this time, but we’re pleased that our members don’t have to resort to taking job action,’’ Mike Palecek, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW ), said in a statement.

Canada Post has been bargaining with its employees for more than nine months, but both sides said they were far apart as of late last week on key issues including pension changes for new employees and pay scales for rural postal workers. CUPW has sought to keep defined benefit pension plans for newer workers. The lengthy negotiations were extended twice since the weekend, when a deadline expired on a 72-hour job action notice issued last Thursday by the postal union. The threatened job action was to involve a refusal of overtime in

some parts of the country. Labour Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk said in a statement the agreements were reached voluntarily. The two sides were in talks nearly around the clock at the request of a special mediator appointed by Mihychuk. “These tentative agreements, reached voluntarily by the parties, are an important reminder for us all that a fair and balanced collective bargaining process works and can achieve real results for Canadian workers and employers,’’ said Mihychuk’s statement.

Crash on Coquihalla claims life of woman A Nicola Valley woman was killed in an accident Tuesday morning on the Coquihalla Highway between Kamloops and Merritt. The southbound lanes of the highway between the two cities were closed for several hours after the crash that occurred between the Helmer interchange and Helmer brake check. Merritt Mounties, paramedics and firefighters raced to the crash scene at 4:50 a.m. RCMP Sgt. Mike Pears said a southbound commercial truck and trailer unit collided with the rear of a southbound

Suzuki Swift carrying two people. The driver of the truck, its lone occupant, suffered non-life threatening injuries. A mother and daughter from the Nicola Valley were in the Suzuki, with the driver, the 47-year-old mom, dying at the scene. Her daughter was taken to hospital in Merritt with non-life threatening injuries. Police continue to investigate. “What can be confirmed at this time is the deceased driver of the car was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision,” Pears said.

GAIL HARVEY PHOTO Terry Fox with his family during his Marathon of Hope run across Canada. Fox had to stop 143 days into the cross-country journey, in September 1980, when his cancer returned and spread to his lungs. He died in June 1981 at the age of 22.

BIKING, CLIMBING FOR TERRY ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A hike up Valemount’s Mt. Terry Fox is no easy feat. While there are three routes up the 8,500-foot mountain, each requires hiking experience and the will to keep going. But, for Darrell Fox, summiting the mountain’s peak is just half the challenge. Tomorrow, Darrell — younger brother of Terry Fox, whose Marathon of Hope came to an end 36 years ago this September — will set out from Sun Peaks with 25 other cyclists on an ambitious one-day trip to the Mt. Terry Fox trailhead. By the time they reach their destination, they will have cycled about 360 kilometres, 10 kilometres for each year that has passed since the Marathon of Hope ended in 1980. On Sunday, Darrell will join eldest Fox brother Fred for the trip up the mountain.

In September of 1980, Terry learned his cancer had returned and spread to his lungs, effectively ending his run. He died in June of 1981. Darrell said he plans to draw on memories of his brother’s perseverance and dedication as he gets ready for another punishing cycling trip. “We’ll be channelling Terry, thinking of him,” he said. “He ran a marathon every day for 143 days and he spent all his hours running during the day. I’ve always had Terry within and all around me, so he’ll obviously be there prominently on Friday.” This year, the Fox brothers have another goal as well — to reach the monument to their brother at the top of the mountain. While they made it 6,500 feet up last year, they ran out of time to reach the summit. To learn more about the Mt. Terry Fox cycling trip or to donate to the cycling team, go online to terryfox.org.

It’s the second year the brothers have made the journey in celebration of Terry’s memory — and to raise more funds for the fight against cancer. Last year, Darrell’s cycling trek was 350 kilometres. “I do a little bit of riding, so you can prepare to a certain extent, but I’d never done 350 in a day,” he said. “Every muscle, every body part was sore.” To break up the trek, the cyclists stopped every 35 kilometres to pose for a photo with a quote from Terry. “Having that opportunity every 35 kilometres to reflect on Terry really helped us to get through it,” he said. “Because it wasn’t easy. It hurt both physically and mentally, but having Terry there was the difference, I think.” After losing a leg to cancer as a teen, Terry set out to run across the country, hoping to raise money to fight the disease and spread awareness. Every day for 143 days he ran 42 kilometres — the length of a marathon — on an artificial limb not built for running.

counterpart, Terry Lake, has yet to do the same. Contacted by KTW, Lake said he is still on vacation and is not yet ready to announce his next move, though an announcement is expected soon, possibly this week. Anglican priest Dan Hines has already stepped forward as a potential BC Green candidate on the North Shore, while the southern arm of the party is expected to make a candidacy announcement on Sept. 8. Riding association president Tyler Carpentier told KTW a number of people are considering their candidacy. In an earlier interview, Carpentier said there is a “reasonable chance” of a nomination contest on the south shore. A nomination contest may also be in the making for the Kamloops-South Thompson NDP. Former city councillor Nancy Bepple announced her intention to seek the nomination last week and said she believed a nomination fight was possible. Barb Nederpel, president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council who works at Royal Inland Hospital’s respiratory therapy clinic, will represent the NDP in Kamloops-North Thompson. The BC Conservative party, which is in the midst of a leadership contest, has yet to announce its plans for the ridings.

2012

A pair of Kamloops Communists have thrown their names in the ring ahead of next year’s provincial election, making the Communist Party of B.C. the first to declare candidates in both of the city’s ridings. Peter Kerek, a former president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council who ran unsuccessfully for city council two years ago, is the party’s KamloopsNorth Thompson challenger, while baker Beat Klossner will represent the Communists in Kamloops-South Thompson. The pair will make their first official campaign appearance at the annual Labour Day Picnic, organized by the Kamloops and District Labour Council for Monday, Sept. 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In a release, Klossner said he believes his party will broaden debate in the upcoming election. “The other parties just offer different shades of the same capitalist system,” he said. “Capitalism does not work for the vast majority of us and a system that is fundamentally opposed to basic human needs and instincts cannot be reformed — it needs to be replaced.” Klossner said he will advocate for transit improvements, con-

struction of new affordable housing and a reversal of a 2001 tax which he argues has led directly to reduced services for British Columbians. While the party will run two candidates here, Kerek said it will not have enough potential MLAs to form government. He said the Communists hopes to shift debate to the left by showing there is support for the party’s policies. “It’s also important for people who support those ideas to vote for them as many governing parties adopt progressive policies in order to avoid losing support to us. But, if people don’t vote for us, then that pressure to adopt people-friendly policies is significantly reduced and we end up with governments only beholden to their political financiers,” he said. Both candidates are opposed to the Ajax copper mine, proposed south of Aberdeen. The Kamloops chapter of the party made its opposition to the project formal last winter. While the Communists are ready to go, questions remain as to who else will run for office on both sides of the river. While sitting Liberal MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone has been acclaimed as candidate Kamloops-South Thompson, his North Shore

Oh, baby! Giving birth to new teaching tool

The Thompson Rivers University School of Nursing has announced the birth of baby Florence, born to Victoria — a $120,000 birthing mannequin, the newest addition to the school. Florence was born at 11:30 a.m., weighs 3.6 kilograms and is 25.4 centimetres in length. Faculty, students and donors were able to participate in the delivery Tuesday morning in room 331 at the nursing simulation learning centre in the Ken Lepin Science and Health Sciences Building. Both baby and mother performed well during the labour. Funds to purchase Victoria were donated to the school by philanthropists Ken and Maureen Lepin. The life-sized interactive female mannequin is cuttingedge — full-body supple skin,

seamless joints and fully operational in transit — providing nursing students with a nearly life-like labour experience. The state-of-the-art technology will enable students to practise caring for the mother and baby before, during and after birth. “We are very excited to have this calibre of fidelity mannequin available for our students,” dean of nursing Donna Murnaghan said. “Victoria has the capacity to allow students to work through various stages of a pregnancy right up to a simulated birth. “The faculty and simulation centre staff are able to program Victoria for students to experience a normal healthy birth as well as complex, emergency situations that require advanced assessments and critical action.”

Victoria, the most advanced childbirth simulator on the market today, enables nursing educators to implement triage simulations and team training and improve performance in areas where mistakes often occur. “Not every student will get the chance to help a real patient through labour,” said nursing student Jenn Sage. “Having this mannequin helps close the gap for those students unable to be involved in such an experience and helps them to better understand what happens pre- and post-labour “I think this will benefit the School of Nursing as it allows the program to expand its focus from a generalized medical/ surgical focus to include scenarios that are perhaps more critical.”

Teen’s killer gets escorted leave from prison TIM PETRUK

A Lower Mainland man who beat a hitchhiking teenager to death 16 years ago before leaving his body in a ditch west of Kamloops has been granted escorted leave from prison. The Parole Board of Canada has agreed to allow Brian Townsend to leave prison for brief periods to attend counselling sessions, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and church. Now 67, Townsend was convicted in October 2008 of second-degree murder following the brutal beating death of 15-year-old Vivien Morzuch. In January 2009, Townsend was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 14 years. Morzuch’s body was discovered on July 31, 2000, outside the entrance to Steelhead Provincial park near Savona. The teen had hitchhiked to B.C. from his home in Montreal, hoping to find summer work as a fruit picker. He met Townsend at a Revelstoke gas station three days before his body was found. At trial, court heard the pair was headed from Revelstoke to Vancouver in Townsend’s 1977 GMC camper van. At some point, Townsend beat Morzuch with a baseball bat, bound him with duct tape and wrapped him in a sleeping bag before dumping his body in a ditch. Townsend became a suspect in 2005 after his thumbprint and DNA were lifted from a piece of bloody duct tape found near the body. He was arrested the following year after an elaborate RCMP Mr. Big operation, which culminated in a confession to an undercover Mountie posing as a crime boss. According to a Parole Board of Canada decision released this week, Townsend was successful in applying for the right to leave prison under the supervision of a civilian

escort to attend meetings and church. In the decision, parole board officials

THE COMMUNISTS TAKE THE LEAD

hat does it say about politics in 2016 when the only party to thus far have confirmed candidates for the May 9, 2017, provincial election is the Communist Party of Canada? Yes, the communists are still kicking 99 years after the revolution in Russia, with Peter Kerek (Kamloops-North Thompson) and Beat Klossner (Kamloops-South Thompson) running as flag bearers for the party that argues capitalism does not work. The party will not field enough candidates to form government, but wants its candidates to spread the message and build momentum. Meanwhile, the opposition New Democrats have a candidate confirmed for Kamloops-North Thompson (Barb Nederpel) and one person seeking the nomination in Kamloops-South Thompson (Nancy Bepple). The governing Liberals have Transportation Minister Todd Stone defending his seat in Kamloops-South Thompson, while Health Minister Terry Lake remains mum on whether he will seek a third term. The betting money is on Lake stepping down from politics and returning to teach at Thompson Rivers University. On the Green front, Dan Hines is seeking the party’s nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson, while a Sept. 8 press conference will reveal a nominee in Kamloops-South Thompson. The B.C. Conservatives don’t even have a leader, much less local candidates, with four people seeking the leadership at a mid-September convention in Prince George — including former leader Dan Brooks, whose resignation necessitated the leadership race. So, there you have it — the only time during this de facto election campaign we can say with certainty the Communist Party of Canada is leading the pack in Kamloops. We suspect election-night results will see a change. Then again, Dewey did beat Truman, didn’t he?

Why? The economy, stupid

hy did the B.C. Liberals confound all pundits and coast to victory in 2013 just as the New Democrats were busy choosing government offices? For the same reason the Liberals will likely defend their throne in Victoria in nine months, a reason that can be summed up in three words created by James Carville 24 years ago: “The economy, stupid.” The campaign strategist for Bill Clinton’s battle against incumbent president George H. W. Bush used the lingering recession of the early 1990s as a main talking point for his candidate and campaign workers to hammer home on the road to victory. Much has been made of the 2013 B.C. election campaign and then-NDP leader Adrian Dix’s decision to stand on the north side of the Thompson River in Kamloops and declare his party’s opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain pipeline. When the Liberals swept to a shocking victory on election night, more than a few political pundits said the NDP had grasped defeat from the jaws of victory because of Dix’s announcement. I doubt it very much. Weeks before Dix’s declaration, I was with a friend in the Lower Mainland, a political junkie and ardent NDP supporter. He noted the polls were heavily in his party’s favour, but confided that he saw the Liberals winning again. Why? Refer to Carville, but flip the reason. When the economy is in the pits, the governing party is in trouble; when the economy is doing well, and especially well relative to the rest of Canada and the

MUSINGS continent and the world, the party in power has a built-in cushion tough to penetrate. The Liberals entered the 2013 campaign trying to shake off myriad scandals (ethnic voter plan, health ministry firings, etc.), which helped pull the party down in the polls. Premier Christy Clark’s popularity was pitiful and she eventually couldn’t even win her own riding. Surely voters did not like a lot of what the Liberals were doing in public and behind close doors. But — the economy, stupid. As my friend said well before election day, the voter cares about a lot, but paramount is the security of those within the four walls of his or her home. And, if the job is going well and the spouse and kids are reasonable happy and the mortgage is getting paid down, why rock the boat? That is why the Liberals won the 2013 election. It had nothing to do with a mid-campaign announcement about an abstract plan to pipe more fossil fuels to the coast many years in the future. It had to do with the day-to-day existence of working men and women in a precarious world. The fact British Columbia

retains the hottest economy in Canada and, relative to the rest of the world, is in decent shape, tells me the May 2016 election outcome will not likely change all that much. That is not to say there are problems that need addressing. Child poverty, homelessness, wait times and not enough doctors in the health-care system, rising taxes and fees, the high cost of owning and renting a home are just some of many problems that will always need attention. When local NDP candidates Nancy Bepple (or a challenger) and Barb Nederpel eventually square off against Liberals Todd Stone and the eventual successor to Terry Lake (perhaps Steven Puhallo), they will hammer on those issues and more — as well they should. We need government to be held accountable. We also need fresh faces to challenge the status quo. Kudos to the NDP for delivering two candidates who will fill those needs in the upcoming campaign. But unless the economy absolutely tanks between now and May 9, 2017, those issues, as important as they are, will not overshadow the economy in the mind of the voter. Stone has been the most active highways minister since Phil Gaglardi, right down to the speeding tickets, with the highway expansion east of Kamloops his most prominent feat locally. Lake has the $80-million hospital expansion as an attractive legacy, not to mention an even more ambitious surgical tower planned in the near future. Such tangible accomplishments for their constituents is a heck of an advantage to carry into an election campaign. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY NEEDS TO CREATE GARDEN WATER RATE Editor: I grew a bountiful garden during this first summer in my new home, but I’m a little annoyed. Why? Because we just received our thirdquarter utility bill. It’s not enough that I spent $600 on soil at Purity Feed; several-hundred dollars at Art Knapp, buying seeds, plants and fertilizer; an expensive timer and a drip system from Delta

Irrigation so I can water smartly; and wood to build the garden boxes. Heck, I even stopped watering my lawn and the dead grass is prickly like cactus, yet I still get charged tier 3 water consumption. But the fact I am actually being penalized for contributing to local businesses while trying to be eco-friendly with water use in an attempt to grown my own fresh produce seems contradictory.

Maybe next summer I’ll just jump in the car and drive to the store for vegetables. It would be cheaper. I’d like to see the city consider a much larger fixed consumption rate per household so this health hobby can continue. Let’s call it the garden rate. Taya Berkhout Kamloops

POOLING LABOUR

YMCA-YWCA volunteer Brian Husband (centre) and aquatic staff member Adam Burke were among the group of workers taking part in the annual maintenance of the indoor pool and hot tub this week. The week-long shutdown involves re-grouting, cleaning, repairing tiles, cleansing water lines and checking lights. The downtown pool is scheduled to re-open on Monday, Sept. 6, when kids return to school. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

FAMILY WAS TEMPTING FATE WITH TRAIN HIJINKS Editor: Last Sunday morning, I was driving out to Cinnamon Ridge and, as often seen, a train was at a standstill just past the Ord Road turn-off from Tranquille Road. About halfway down, I saw

a family, two adults and three small children, including a toddler, climbing the bank from their parked car. They had just reached the top of the bank to the tracks when I could no longer see them. The train began moving just

as I left Cinnamon Ridge. When I got to where their car was parked, I could see them climbing up the hill. I was so shocked that these adults climbed through the freight cars and passed the children through.

In hindsight, I wish I had taken their licence-plate number and reported it to the RCMP for endangering the lives of these kids. L. Tillotson Kamloops

ACCLAIMED AUTHORS HEADED TO WRITERS FESTIVAL IN WHISTLER

Eats Amore was on hand Friday, as kids and families alike enjoyed games and music in the Sahali neighbourhood of Castle Towers. The area has book clubs and is hoping to host the block party for local residents annually.

Clubs, conversation, community Castle Towers neighbourhood hosted first annual block party last week JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ay Evans started a book club in her Arrowstone neighbourhood in the 1990s. The avid reader said she began noticing the art of conversation was dying and wanted to challenge her own ideas with discussion and books. That club is still going, but when Evans moved to a different Sahali home, she started another group in her new neighbourhood. What started with flyers in neighbours’ mailboxes grew into a

list of email addresses and, eventually, a group of 14 in the area reading and building community together. The Castle Towers Book Club has read more than 20 books in the last two-anda-half years and the monthly meetings go beyond the pages they flip. “We have great conversations and then we talk about the community and what’s going on,” Evans said. Those conversations have brought up local hot-button topics like Ajax Mine and broader subjects, such as child development and women’s issues — topics related to the books they read and

each members’ diverse background. “We’re learning about each other and bringing new topics to the table,” Evans said. She said the club has had spinoff effects, too, building a closer community within the neighbourhood. Whether someone is sick or on holidays, neighbours are ready to lend a hand or keep an eye on things. “To be able to drive down your street and wave to a few people before you go into your driveway, you feel like you belong to a community,” Evans said. Another added benefit to starting a

neighbourhood club, Evans noted, is the convenience factor. “We can have wine at the meeting and then walk home,” she said. “Nobody’s drinking and driving.” While she’s not exactly inviting new members to the Castle Towers Book Club, Evans is encouraging new clubs to pop up around the city. “There’s no reason Juniper can’t be doing it, Westsyde,” she said. A spinoff cookbook club also started in the area.

From books to block parties

The group behind the Castle Towers Book

Club recently held a block party, further promoting hyperlocal communities. Intended to be an annual event, the first Castle Towers Block Party kicked off on Friday, Aug. 26. Eats Amore food truck was on hand, while activities and games were set up for kids. Music filled the streets. “We put out flyers, hired the food truck Eats Amore, got city permits and insurance and it was that simple,” Evans said. “What a great night. We even had some block party crashers from nearby streets who wanted to join in the fun.”

More than 60 Canadian and international authors will take part in the Whistler Writers Festival, which runs in that community from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16. Among those taking part are Jane Urquhart, Emma Donoghue and Madeleine Thien. Urquhart has written seven novels, including The Night Stages, The Stone Carvers and A Map of Glass. She has received the Governor General’s Award for Fiction, the Trillium Award, Harbourfront Festival Prize and Best Foreign Book Award in France. Her new book, A Number of Things, will be published in the fall. Donoghue is best known for Room. She is the winner of the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. The film adapted from her book was nominated for four Academy Awards, including for best picture. Thien was also long listed for the Booker prize for Do Not Say We Have Nothing, the story of a group of musicians studying Western classical music at the Shanghai Conservatory in the 1960s and linking the tale to the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations. A full package festival, including two nights’ accommodation at the Fairmount Chateau Whistler, is $544 per person, plus other fees and taxes. Other price packages are available.

CELEBRATING

LOCAL RACE RETURNS TO ITS ROOTS IN 25TH RUNNING

lot has changed since Walk in the Park debuted in 1992.

But, with B.C.’s second-longest running ultramarathon set to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2016, the Kamloops trail race is going back to its roots. Walk in the Park runners will navigate a newly designed course when the race gets underway on Sunday, Sept. 4. The ultramarathon will revert to the distances used in its inaugural running in Juniper Park 25 years ago, with 14-kilometre, 25km and 50km tracks.

“I think I’ll s�ck with these distances,” Larouche said, looking beyond the 25th running. “The 50-kilometre distance tends to be a tradi�onal ultra distance for an ultramarathon.” The trail-running and ultramarathon scenes have changed as much as Walk in the Park has in the last 25 years. Every year, races push the envelope, becoming longer, harder, more intense. One-hundred-mile races were once the epitome of trail running, but the distance has since become the new middle ground.

“ I think there’s a bit “ for everybody here

“I think there’s a bit for everybody here,” said race director Chris Larouche, who has been organizing Walk in the Park since 2005. “We’ve had great a�endance over the years and, as long as people keep coming out, I’m willing to stay involved and keep pu�ng it on.” For nearly a decade, Walk in the Park was held in Juniper and included 25km and 50km races in and around the silt bluﬀs of the area. In 2001, the race moved to its current home in Kenna Cartwright Park where, a�er a few course modica�ons, a loop was established to accommodate 18km, 36km and 54km distances. The course has remained unchanged since 2007. But in 2016, Walk in the Park is taking advantage of new trail systems in Kenna Cartwright to bring back a more tradi�onal course.

As far as ultramarathons are concerned, Walk in the Park is certainly on the low end of the scale. “When ultramarathoning or trail running started, 50 kilometres was kind of the middle ground for ultra distances,” Larouche said. “Now, there’s many events that have pushed that up, but as far as trail running standards go, 50K is equivalent to a 5K road race.

Roughly 50 per cent of the race group will hail from locales outside Kamloops, including Alberta and the Lower Mainland. It’s �ng that, in the race’s 25th year, it is rever�ng back to its roots, given Walk in the Park’s dedica�on to tradi�on and the early days of trail running. “I like to tell people I put this race on to give people a feel for what grassroots trail running was all about. It was, originally, no frills — no medals, no T-shirts — just some running and a meal a�erwards,” Larouche said. This year, he has upped the ante slightly, e the race’s to celebrate nniversary. landmark anniversary. an “Other than that, it’s s�lll the same event as n it was when 5 it started 25 years ago.”

“Certainly, the trail-running community has been pushing the boundaries, as far as trail runs go.” The group running the 25th Walk in the Park is set to be slightly larger than average, with roughly 75 runners expected to be in Kenna Cartwright on the Labour Day long weekend.

RAV4 HYBRID RAISES GREEN CROSSOVER STAKES KEITH MORGAN

DRIVEWAY CANADA

oyota started the race to produce compact crossovers that would appeal to active, young-at-heart drivers. And for the past 21 years, the Japanese producer has been at the forefront of innovation, if not sales, in North America. The segment has grown so much it is likely CUVs will soon topple the sedan as the preferred vehicle of choice for Canadian families. Toyota is the master of gas-hybrid technology, so it is perhaps surprising a hybrid RAV4 has taken so long. The manufacturer is a technology leader but also quite conservative in how it introduces new systems to its products. It prefers to refine and tailor its technology for each model. Now there’s a novel concept; get it right before proceeding. They did get many things right with the introduction of the Hybrid Synergy Drive to the RAV4 lineup. It starts with performance: the two trims offering a hybrid power plant (XLE, limited) are available exclusively in

The RAV4 Hybrid shows the price differential between hybrid and gas power is narrowing.

an all-wheel drive configuration. Upfront a 150-h.p., 2.5-litre, Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine is coupled to a 141-h.p., permanent-magnet electric motor using a CVT automatic transmission to send power to the front wheels. The rear wheels are powered by a 67-h.p. electric motor, which interestingly has no mechanical connection to the front wheels. The system is named AWD-i, and Toyota claims it allows a great degree of flexibility in the front-torear power split.

Most of the time the action comes from the front wheels, as is the case in most all-wheel drive systems. But here’s where the ‘i’ comes in: the system monitors the driver’s demands and the steering-wheel position to anticipate wheel spin and then send power to the rear before the front wheels begin to slip. This setup also enables greater regenerative braking, capturing electrical energy through all four wheels, unlike rival systems that draw from the two driven wheels. Not surprisingly, this

makes a major contribution to fuel economy, enhanced still more by four selectable drive modes Toyota boasts best in class city and combined fuel efficiency of 6.9/7.2 L/100 kms, respectively. The Hybrid XLE starts at $34,465 and is equipped with a sixspeaker display audio system with 6.1-inch screen, dual zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and heated front seats. The 60-40 split folddown rear seats provide comfort for up to five

adults or lots of shopping and luggage. Safety systems include vehicle proximity notification and rear cross traffic alert systems and eight airbags. Add such convenience features as a powered rear hatch, keyless entry with the smart key system with push button start, heated front seats, rear privacy glass, a leatherwrapped steering wheel and a power moon roof and it qualifies as generously equipped. The test car was a loaded limited edition with a base sticker price

of $38,265 to $40,000 and change with freight related charges. It’s loaded with an enhanced display audio system with seveninch screen, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, navigation system, poweradjustable leather driver’s seat with seat memory and a backup camera. If you have a spare $1,500 or so, you can go for the technology package, which includes the so-called Toyota safety sense system. This combines precollision system with pedestrian detection,

forward collision warning, lane departure alert, auto high-beam and dynamic radar cruise control. An 11-speaker JBL Synthesis audio system, front and rear parking assist sonar and Toyota’s bird’s eye view monitor might tempt you to go for the extras. One comment about looks: it is indeed more contemporary but you are not buying this vehicle for its appearance. It is a smoother and quieter ride, as promised by Toyota engineers, and the added standard hill-start assist control is a blessing for city drivers. Let’s face it — every vehicle sold will likely roll over more black top than mud. Added height offers enhanced view of city traffic and it is a nippy little machine for city dwellers delivering children to school or toting the family shop. It’s no slouch on the highway. The zero to 100 kilometres/hour numbers are impressive at 8.1 seconds and passing at speed on the highway is no challenge. Toyota has delivered again and it seems the price differential between hybrid and gas power is narrowing, making the green choice more attractive still.

Sensors, other devices protect from hot vehicles THE CANADIAN PRESS

DETROIT — Hot cars are a danger to children, particularly in a sweltering summer like this one. There are some devices on the market — built into cars as well as child seats — that can help prevent kids from being left behind. So far this year, 27 children in the U.S. have died after they were left in hot vehicles, according to Kids and Cars, a Kansas City-based advocacy group. That includes the death last month of a two-year-old in Dallas left behind in a hot car while his family was in church. The total this year has already surpassed the total for all of 2015. Of the 755 children who died in hot cars since 1990, a majority — 55 per cent — were unknowingly left behind. In 28 per cent of cases, kids climbed into the cars on their own. Even a brief period

is a standard feature, monitors the Acadia’s rear doors. If either one is opened and closed within 10 minutes before the vehicle is started or if they are opened and closed while the vehicle is running, the Acadia sounds five chimes and displays a visual reminder to check the back seat when the vehicle is turned off. GM plans to add the system to additional vehicles throughout its lineup in 2017 and beyond. For now, GM is the only automaker offering a factory-installed reminder system, but there are several aftermarket systems available. Rear View Safety Inc. makes a $100 system that monitors the rear doors and activates if they are opened before a trip. The car sounds a moderate alarm when the vehicle is turned off and the driver can deactivate the alarm by pressing a button in the

in a hot car can be deadly. Within 10 minutes, a car’s temperature can rise 20 degrees, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Even if it’s 15 C outside, the temperature inside a car can reach 43 C. Children can die when their body temperature reaches 42 C. Kids and Cars says the government should require automakers to install back seat reminder systems. But NHTSA says it’s still researching the best ways to prevent deaths. In the meantime, the agency is sponsoring public information campaigns. There are ways to help prevent hot car deaths. Among them:

IN-CAR SYSTEMS:

General Motors Co. has installed an industry-first rear seat reminder system on the 2017 GMC Acadia, a midsize SUV that starts at $29,070. The system, which

rear of the car. If the system isn’t deactivated within 40 seconds, the car horn will sound. The system must be professionally installed; the company says installation adds about $100 to the cost.

SEAT SYSTEMS:

Evenflo’s SensorSafe Embrace DLX infant seat is the only car seat with a built-in system that alerts the driver if a child has been left behind. It connects the seat’s chest clip to the car’s data port, so the car will emit a chime if it turns off and the chest clip hasn’t been unhooked. It will also alert the driver if the chest clip comes unhooked during driving. The seat works for infants up to 35 pounds and in cars from the 2008 model year or later. The seat costs $149 at Walmart. There are also aftermarket child seat systems. Baby Alert

International makes an electronic chest clip that replaces the clip installed on a seat. The clip connects to a key fob. If the caregiver moves 15 or more feet from the car seat without unlatching it, the fob sounds an alarm. That system costs $45 on Baby Alert International’s website. The iRemind Car Seat Alarm uses a sensor pad placed on the child’s car seat. Caregivers install a smartphone app that alerts them if they move 15 feet from the car and the sensor still feels the child’s weight. The sensor costs $100 on amazon.com. There are caveats. NHTSA warns that anything added to a car seat after it’s purchased could compromise safety. And smartphonebased systems may not work if the caregiver doesn’t have service in a particular location.

Tough road ahead

KTW is looking ahead to the 2016-2017 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a series that started last week. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 22. The local WHL club opens its season at home against the Kelowna Rockets on Sept. 23. In today’s instalment, Part 2, team members look ahead at a few of the hurdles in their way. Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Click on the ‘Blazers’ tab.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

awson Davidson is looking at the challenges as opportunities. Playing 34 games against strong B.C. Division teams will only make his Kamloops Blazers better. If stud netminder Connor Ingram cracks Team Canada’s lineup for the World Junior Hockey Championship, then backup goaltender Dylan Ferguson will have to shine. Navigating a tough early schedule with a few of his teammates away at NHL camps, well, that’s just life in the WHL. “That’s just the hockey season,” said Davidson, the 18-year-old blue liner from Moosomin, Sask. “You’re going to have injuries. People are going to go to NHL camps. That’s when people have to step up and rise up to the responsibilities. Guys will go to NHL camps, get lots of experience and share it with us.” Round 2 of the playoffs and beyond is the goal this season, but to get there, the Blazers will have to fight through an ultracompetitive division. The Victoria Royals are expected to lose heart-and-soul defenceman Joe Hicketts to professional hockey this season, but are returning much of the roster that led them to 106 points and the B.C. Division title in 2015-2016. Kamloops fell to the Kelowna Rockets in Game 7 of their first-round playoff duel last season and the Little Apple’s majorjunior juggernaut can return as many as 19 players in 2016-2017. “Prince George, this is the year they’ve built for with their age group of players,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “Vancouver is going to be a healthier team, with [Tyler] Benson back, and there’s more stability there. “It’s a really, really good division. Every game is going to be important.”

KTW FILE PHOTO

If the Kamloops Blazers have their way in 2016-2017, there will be plenty to celebrate for Dawson Davidson and his teammates.

Victoria’s Dave Lowry, who was named WHL coach of the year for the second time in three seasons in May, and Hay are the only returning head coaches in the division, with Jason McKee replacing Lorne Molleken in Vancouver, Jason Smith taking over from Brad Ralph in Kelowna and Richard Matvichuk taking the reins from Mark Holick in Prince George. Each of those bench bosses will have interest in Connor Ingram’s status for the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship, which will run from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Montreal, with the selection camp beginning about two weeks before the tournament starts. Both Ingram, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in June, and Deven Sideroff, who signed with the Anaheim Ducks in August, attended the national junior team’s summer development camp in Toronto. “It’s scary to think about it even,” said Ingram, the 19-year-old netminder from Imperial, Sask. “You dream about playing world juniors as kids. It’s a long ways off, so I’m trying not to think about it.” Ferguson knows how important this season is for him — and how integral his play might be to the success of the Blazers if Ingram is out of the lineup for 12 or 13 games in December and January. “It’s in the back of my head and I know it could come my way, for sure,” said Ferguson, who had a .875 save percent-

age and 4.13 goals-against average in 16 games last season. “I know I might have to step up for the boys and I’m ready to do that. I hope he [Ingram] goes. He deserves it.” The Lantzville product who turns 18 on Sept. 20 will also be making his case for the crease in 2017-2018, as Ingram is not likely to return for his 20-year-old season. “It’s an important year for Dylan,” Hay said. “We feel Dylan has to prove to us, No. 1, that he’s capable of playing in the league on a consistent basis and, if Ingram is gone next year, we’re going to need a No. 1 goalie.” Ingram and Sideroff are among the nine Blazers already committed to attending NHL training camps later this month. The World Cup of Hockey, which runs from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1, will push back the start of some of those camps, which may in turn delay the return of several players to Mark Recchi Way, most likely the ones who are drafted. “I’m sure the NHL wants to get going, too,” Hay said. “They’re not going to keep the rookies there too long. It also gives opportunities to players who don’t go. They can step up and lead.” NHL teams may keep junior players around longer throughout the pre-season to flush out their rosters, with veterans away at the World Cup. Forwards Rudolfs Balcers (San Jose) and Garrett Pilon (Washington) will attend

A G R E AT G O L F I N G E X P E R I E N C E AT A N A F F O R D A B L E P R I C E .

camps with the NHL teams that drafted them, along with Ingram and Sideroff. Defencemen Ondrej Vala (Dallas), Dawson Davidson (Pittsburgh) and Dallas Valentine (Edmonton) and forwards Collin Shirley (Edmonton) and Jermaine Loewen (San Jose) are the undrafted players heading to NHL camps. The Blazers open the regular season with a home-and-home set against the Rockets on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24, two games in Victoria against the Royals and one game in Langley against the Giants before embarking on a three-game road trip to Alberta. Kamloops had a franchise-worst 0-6 start last season and would rather not be forced to play catch-up in 2016-2017. “It gives you a lot of motivation to work hard every day and do good things for your teammates,” Davidson said. “Everyone really wants to work hard for each other and we need to take that next step this year.”

Part 3

Next Thursday, KTW will take a look at the Blazers’ forward group. How has Latvian import Balcers looked? Which 16-year-olds will crack the roster? Are the 18s ready to step up? How does Jake Kryski’s exodus affect the group? How many goals does Jermaine Loewen want to score? We’ll break it all down next week.

Massimo Rizzo is not sure if his hockey future will include the Kamloops Blazers. “It’s probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make so far,” said the 15-year-old forward, who was picked 15th overall by the Blazers in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. “There are lots of options and lots things to think about, either playing college or Dub.” Should Rizzo sign a WHL contract with the Blazers, he will lose NCAA eligibility. Rizzo, who is expected to play this season with Burnaby Winter Club (BWC), attended the junior A Penticton Vees’ training camp and played in an exhibition game with them before arriving in time for Blazers’ rookie camp last week. The highly skilled forward could opt to go the same route taken by Kamloops product Ryan Gropp, who joined the Vees and kept his NCAA options open before eventually signing with the Seattle Thunderbirds. Some WHL-drafted players who join junior A squads never return — see Dante Fabbro and ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Tyson Jost, both of whom opted to play for the Vees and were The Kamloops Blazers used their first-round pick in the 2016 WHL selected in Round 1 of this year’s Bantam Draft to nab top prospect Massimo Rizzo of Burnaby Winter NHL Draft.

Donaldson on top as Canada West names three stars Justin Donaldson has been named the Canada West’s first star for the opening week of men’s soccer action. The Thompson Rivers WolfPack midfielder scored four goals in his first weekend with the Wolves, including a natural hat trick against the Victoria Vikes on Sunday, as the club notched a 4-0 victory over the Vikes and

fell 2-1 to the UBC Thunderbirds. The Canada West’s second star went to Elijah Adekugbe of the Trinity Western Spartans, while the third star was awarded to Connor James of the Alberta Golden Bears. Donaldson and the WolfPack will be on the road this weekend, in Abbotsford to face the Fraser Valley Cascades and in Langley to

Blazers sign D-man

The Kamloops Blazers signed 2001born defenceman Quinn Schmiemann to a standard WHL player agreement on Monday. Schmiemann was selected by the Blazers in the third round, 59th overall, in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. The Wilcox, Sask., product, who is 6-foot1 and weighs 160 pounds, played the 2015-2016 season with bantam Notre Dame Hounds, racking up eight goals and 22 points in 38 games. “Quinn is a smart, two-way puck-moving defenceman,” Blazers’ director of player per-

Angove gets the nod

Jordan Angove of the Kamloops Broncos was rewarded for a courageous performance against the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. He racked up one interception, six tackles and batted down one pass en route to being named the B.C. Football Conference defensive player of the week. Angove was playing through injury

and was key in limiting the Raiders to 109 yards passing on 22 attempts. He is the first Bronco to win a player of the week award this season, with the team struggling at 0-6 heading into its bye this weekend.

Catharine Pendrel, seen here returning to Kamloops from the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, will be looking to capture a World Cup title this weekend in Vallnord, Andorra.

World Cup weekend ahead Catharine Pendrel will be looking to cap an extraordinary season with an overall World Cup crosscountry mountain biking title in Vallnord, Andorra, on Sunday. The 35-year-old rider from Kamloops

— who won a bronze medal in women’s cross-country mountain biking at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio on Aug. 20 — sits second in the standings after five of six events on the World Cup circuit, 45

points behind Annika Langvad of Denmark. At the final race in Vallnord, 250 points will be awarded for first place, 200 for second and 160 for third. Pendrel won overall World Cup titles in 2010 and 2012.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Clarence Alexander Zwarich December 14, 1931 – August 23, 2016

Clarence, aged 84 years, passed away Tuesday, August 23, 2016 with his children Sandy and Jeff by his side. Over the past 18 difficult months, the accumulated effects of several health-related events and the loss of his wife Ione, his companion for 45 years, culminated in the closing of the final chapter in Clarence’s life at Carewest Colonel Belcher, a veteran’s care facility in Calgary, AB. Clarence was born to Jennie and George Zwarich in Kamloops, BC on December 14, 1931. During his childhood, the family moved several times: firstly, to Sooke on Vancouver Island where Clarence started school at Milne’s Landing, to North Kamloops and then to Monte Lake, where he finished elementary school. What was a teen to do in a rural community? In the mid-1940s high school was not an option and employment was related to the logging industry. Clarence solved this dilemma by joining the army and training with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) as a paratrooper. He served in the Korean War. Home base was Calgary for Clarence and Ione during their child-rearing years. They made many memorable summer excursions with their six kids in tow to Shuswap camping grounds. When the kids began to grow up and leave home, they moved to Kamloops in 1980, where they resided until their recent move to Lake Country. Kamloops, with its many golf courses and family golf partners, was the ideal setting for Clarence to participate in his favorite sport. As retired “empty nesters,” they joined the snowbird migration south to enjoy the warm winter months in Yuma, AZ. Always a close-knit family, they welcomed and enjoyed having visitors to their Yuma getaway.

There is some sadness now that Clarence is gone, but he left his family many fond memories to recall.

Clarence was predeceased by his first wife Margaret aka Peggy (1968), brother Andrew (1984), second wife Ione (2016) and nephew Larry (2016). The family wishes to express its sincerest appreciation to his care-givers at the Brookhaven Care Centre at West Kelowna and Carewest Colonel Belcher at Calgary for their kindness and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2017 at Shuswap Lake. There will be no Formal Service. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services, Airdrie, AB. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Elsie Wilkinson. She will be sadly missed by her loving husband Bernard, her two daughters Glenda Ferguson (Mark) and Gail Wilkinson (Branko). Elsie also leaves behind her granddaughter Kelly Parsons, grandson Corey Ferguson (Reena), her sister Evelyn Robertson, her great-grandchildren Max Parsons, Mason Parsons, Ava Ferguson, Gwynneth Ferguson and numerous nieces and nephews. Elsie was born on September 7, 1925 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. She moved to Victoria in 1949 where she married Bernard 67 years ago on January 13, 1949. Elsie and Bernard moved to Kamloops in 1970. Our family would like to thank the staff at Royal Inland Hospital 3 West for their excellent care. At her request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Kamloops Hospice.

Carrie (Harton) GardenerEvans

He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving Wife Kelli of 16 years, his Daughters Mandy (Adam), Ashely and Lindsey and his Granddaughter Cali Sam. He also leaves his Mom Lillian Pozzobon, his Sister Cheryl (Kelly) Thompson, his Brother Kevin (Bonnie) and Nephews Denny and Travis Thompson, his Nieces Tannis, Kelsey and Alana. Keith was predeceased by his Father Sammy in 2008 and his idol Robbie Pozzobon in 1976 as well as several other family members dear to Keith. Keith was born in Kamloops and lived his entire life in the Pritchard area. Keith spent his entire life being a cowboy – starting at the young age of 4 riding in the cattle liners with his dad. Then when he was big enough to swing a rope he was entering Little Britches Rodeos moved onto High School rodeo and continued onto the IRA/BCRA winning numerous Calf Roping Buckles then moved onto the Ranks of the CPRA rodeo trail where he has millions of stories of the fun he had with his Rodeo Family. After retiring from calf roping he focused more on team roping but his true passion became mentoring young up and coming ropers for many years in the famous Pozzobon Indoor Arena. A Cowboy Send Off will be held on Friday, September 2, 2016 at 1:00 pm Rodeo Time at the Pozzobon Indoor Arena, 4624 Shuswap Road. In lieu of flowers, Keith loved Rodeo so he would love to support the Little Britches Rodeo.

A Celebration of Life for Carrie will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St. Kamloops, BC.

Dave died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family. He is survived by his son Jim “Jimmy” Ashton (Carmen McNabb) and daughter Jenny Halvorson, granddaughters Riley, Georgia and Sydney Halvorson and grandson Mitchell Halvorson. He is predeceased by his mother Ileen Ashton, father James Ashton and sister Ruth (nee Ashton) Blangy. Dave grew up in Willow River, BC. All of us Ashtons loved going out to Willow and Dad was proud to have grown up there. Dad loved to work and was a logger, a carpet layer and a railroader for CN Rail. He retired from CN in 2009. Our Dad was a friend to many and helped many people through AA. The second A means anonymous, but Dad was proud to be an AA member and the program brought much happiness to his life. Dad was always a very social and gregarious person and so many people loved him. We all love him very much. A helping hand to anyone and he always tried to do the best he could... love and miss you Dad and Papa. What better thing can you say about a person than that he loved and was loved in return. Dad wanted to say thank you to the nurses and doctors in the E.R. and 7th Floor at Royal Inland Hospital. The Memorial Service will take place at 1:00 pm on Saturday, September 3, 2016 in the Elder Citizens Association Centre, 1692 10th Avenue, Prince George, BC.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of My Wife

Vivian Isabelle Weller (nee Kunst) May 17, 1934 – August 24, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Vivian Isabelle Weller (nee Kunst) of Kamloops at 82 years of age.

She is predeceased by her mother Anna Kunst.

1949 - 2015

Forever Loved, Forever Missed, Forever In My Heart.

Vivian was born in Winnipeg and as a young woman she moved to Toronto where she worked for Tamblyn Drugs as a comptometer operator, and met and married Richard. All three children were born in Toronto and in 1969 the family moved to Kamloops where Richard and Vivian owned and operated Living Lighting at the new Thompson Park Mall. Later Vivian opened The Panhandler/Rafters in Sahali Mall. Good times included picnicking at The Maples, renting cottages at Ingolf and other Ontario lakes, taking trips to Hawaii, touring England and enjoying the backyard pool with family and friends.

A “GIFT” to those who knew her.

Special thanks to Vital Air, Dr. Anders, Dr. Bishop, the nurses throughout Royal Inland Hospital and in particular those on 3rd Floor West, and our wonderful neighbours in Arbutus Heights.

DARREL

Vivian loved cats and memorial donations may be made to the SPCA.

Carl Christopher Driedger November 22, 1935 – August 29, 2016

Carl passed away suddenly yet peacefully while out enjoying his happy place working in the garden on one of his many projects. With a warm breeze blowing, the sun on his cheeks and his feathered friends flitting about he left us. Carl was born in Rheinland, Saskatchewan to a large Mennonite family, growing up with fourteen sisters and brothers. Raising four sons of his own Dirk, Dean (Christine), Dennis and Kevin (Valerie), grandchildren Kayleigh, Kelton, Stacey, Shawn, Jennifer, Benjamin and Allie. He is survived by his wife of twenty years Sue and her children Dawn (Greg) and Ken, grandchildren Makinley, Madison, Aislinn and Emily. We all will miss his big grin and generous hugs. Carl and I enjoyed our retirement sharing happy times with family and friends. Many winters in Yuma, Arizona and Carl dreaming of his next big project and me shaking my head. Good fun all of it! Love you Carl. A Service will be held in Warman, Saskatchewan.

Patricia Ethel Bellos “Trixie” February 9, 1925 - August 27, 2016

After a long and busy life, Trixie, passed away quietly on August 27th with her family and friends by her side. Born to William E. Bassett and Lillian M. Hucker in Enfield Lock, Middlesex, England, February 9,1925. With her school years cut short by WII she worked first as office staff in a small arms factory and later joined the Women’s Royal Navy and served as a WREN until the end of the war in 1945. During this time she met and married husband Tony who was serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the war in 1946 she was one of 1,090 war brides who sailed to Canada aboard the Aquatania to join their husbands. The next part of her journey with Tony, took her to Prince George, BC. She quickly adapted to the strange new life which included a walk to the Hospital, February 1st, 1947 in minus 52 below weather to deliver daughter Carole. On November 20th,1949 the weather was better when son Peter was born. While in Prince George Mom made many life long friends and there met missionaries from the Mormon Church which would later become important in her life. In 1953 the family moved to Kamloops and then to the Willow Ranch where she tied on an apron and learned to cook for ranch crews and raise her children plus all the extra pets they accumulated. It was a lonely time until she learned to drive and was able to get to town more often. During this time Mom became busy with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and over time served in many roles whether it was working with youth or making chocolates that helped build the new church. The church and the many friends she made have remained very important through her life. She became interested in Genealogy, helping to establish the church Genealogy Lab and later the local Genealogy Society. In the 60’s the family moved to Knutsford and in 1961 Mom went to work as a sales clerk at the Bay. She valued the friends from that time and their annual get togethers!

In their later life she and Tony traveled to England and Europe to Veteran gatherings and enjoyed several cruises with friends. Mom especially enjoyed her trips to Hawaii with friends Irene and Marg. She also joined the Knutsford Stitch Group and looked forward to Thursdays and visiting with everyone. She always had a welcoming smile and her door was always open to visitors and friends. She was known for her homemade whole wheat bread, elderberry jam and apple juice. One Grandson commented if she could have, she would have made ice cream from whole wheat! She was a wonderful Grandmother and Great-grandmother and she will forever remain in their hearts. She was predeceased by Husband Tony and Great-grandson Jacob Carroll. She is survived by daughter Carole Carroll, (Pat Carroll) and son Peter Bellos (Leila). Grandchildren James Carroll (Bonnie), Shawn Carroll (Rita), Cindy Hall (Jordie), Ryan Carroll (Alejandra), Damien Bellos (Natasha), Andrew Bellos and Chad Bellos. Great-grandchildren Tara Raby, Jaden and Jason Carroll, Alesha and Audry Hall, Anthony, Ben and Max Carroll and Ryker Bellos. The family wish to thank Dana Levere G.M, Carrie (Rec.) and the staff, at Kamloops Senior Village for their special care of our Mom. Your efforts on her behalf were appreciated. We also would like to thank Dr. Eccleston for being there again, it was comforting to the family. A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, September 2, 2016 at 11:00 am. Viewing will be 9:45 am to 10:30 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2165 Parkcrest Ave. Brocklehurst, Kamloops, BC.

She Walks in Beauty LORD BYRON

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent,

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.
