esidents of a Rayleigh subdivision evacuated last month due to a slide risk started trickling back in Friday, but some needed a little more care and handling. The Ramage Road subdivision is home to a small farm with 50 goats, many of whom gave birth this spring. Trevor Woods and his wife Cobie, part of the family that owns the historic subdivision, were forced to move many of the animals to farms throughout the valley. “Certain goats were too sensitive to move,” Trevor said. The bulk of the goats were transferred to areas that included Barnhartvale and McLure. Hay and feed were provided to the animals under the province’s emergency measures program. Nearly two dozen residents of the subdivision were evacuated on April 27 due to slide risk from the hill on the east side of Highway 5N. That was caused by a combination of rainy spring weather and

a stream that was feeding more moisture into the hillside. The city has since installed a flat pipe to divert the stream and the hillside’s movement has slowed from about eight inches per day to about two millimetres. The evacuation order was lifted Friday morning, allowing 22 people to return. They were greeted at the entrance by city bylaw officers, offering coffee and donuts. Most residents stayed at Scott’s Inn during the order. Woods said lifting of the order came as a surprise. “We were expecting to be out until the 23rd [of May],” he said. “None of us were prepared for a one-day notice.” City officials said the pipe will remain in place for the near future. The city, Emergency Management B.C. and the provincial Ministry of Transportation are continuing to look for a long-term solution to stabilize the hill.

City workers inspecting recycling carts in prepartion for audit About 90 of 1,000 carts inspected each week turn up items not allowed under new program ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Don’t be surprised to find someone going through your blue bin this summer. The city of Kam-loops says most residents are following its new rules around what can go in their recycling bins, but more intense monitoring is on its way as it prepares for its first audit with Recycle BC. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said staff are inspecting around 1,000 carts per week, and are finding about 90 of them contain items not accepted for curbside recycling. That’s down from about 750 carts which contained contraband recyclables the first week the city rolled out its Recycle B.C.funded program. The deal between the city and the organization, set up by packaging and paper products companies to try to get more of their wares out of landfills, will net the city about $1.1 million. Recycle B.C. also covers the $800,000 cost of sorting the recycling. In return, the city can only pick up a mix of recycling dictated by the organization — which does not include glass or soft plastics. After a month and a half of the new rules, Farrow said it’s the plastics that remain the biggest issue. “It’s mainly grocery bags, bread bags, that type of product,” he said. “It’s easy, convenient to just throw in your bin.” Farrow said he’s pleased with residents’ co-operation so far, but the city still has more work to do. “We always knew the struggle to get soft plastics out of the mix wasn’t going to be like turning a light switch,” he said.
KTW FILE PHOTO City of Kamloops staffers are looking through about 1,000 recycling bins every week to determine compliance with new rules. Glass and soft plastics — including grocery bags — are no longer accepted in the blue-topped carts.
“It was going to be constant education and communication.” Recycle B.C. is expected to audit the city some time in the next month, the first of several it will do each year. The city is expected to reduce and eliminate unaccepted products from its loads, with the possibility of financial penalties in the future if it can’t do so. In the meantime, Farrow said the city will use its EcoSmart summer team to ramp up recycling bin inspections over the next four months. The team will label carts with information about what is accepted, and tag carts with glass, plastic or other materials that don’t belong — Farrow said the city still finds a number of garden hoses, as well as scrap metal and clothing, none of which have ever been accepted.
In some cases, carts won’t be picked up until the material is removed. There was a container with a pane of glass and the lid wasn’t even closed, so in a case like that the operator tagged it and left it at the curb,” Farrow said, adding the city plans to get more strict about tipping bins as time goes on. Farrow said the city doesn’t have a full picture of where glass and plastics are ending up, if not in the blue bins, though three city depots which accept the material — the Sahali and North Shore General Grant’s depots and the Lorne Street Bottle Depot — have reported more traffic since the changes. Steve Ahn, owner of the Lorne Street depot, said glass and soft plastics have about tripled in recent weeks — as have customer complaints about recycling.

He’s concerned about the long-term effects of the program on his business, which has had to begin storing the material outside because of space issues. “I hope the city will do something for residents, because this is just the beginning stage,” he said. “If we’re getting much bigger volumes of glass and plastic — it is part of our recycling program, but it’s not our major source of revenue. It’s an added service to the customer.” Farrow said the city plans to do an audit of its garbage, which could check for glass and plastics, but also organic materials. Staff plan to make recommendations to council this fall on how to use the Recycle B.C. money. Organic pickup, as well as separate pickup service for glass and other banned materials, have been suggested as options.

Search-and-rescue dog succumbs to cancer Kamloops Search and Rescue volunteer, had hoped Ruby would replace Juno, his nineyear-old Lab who is a month away from retirement. Instead, he’ll need to start over with a new pup. Kamloops SAR will still have one canine helper once Juno retires, who belongs to another team member. “I’d like to keep Juno on for another year but realistically she can’t do it any more,” Ritcey said. “It’s a very trying job. When they’re out there, they really have to work. And old dogs, they just power out. It’s not fair to the public to bring a dog out there who can’t do the job.” He and Juno have searched in a variety of terrain, from the sagebrush of Kamloops to Vancouver Island to alpine ranges, and the two are often called out on multi-day searches.

When Mike Ritcey noticed the lump on his two-year-old yellow Lab Ruby’s side, he thought she might have cracked a rib while completing her validation — the last of the training and tests required to become a search-and-rescue dog. But, when the blood tests and biopsies came back from the veterinarian, the diagnosis was an aggressive form of cancer. Three weeks later, before heading out on another search, Ritcey put Ruby down. Though she’d passed her certification, she hadn’t yet had a chance to do the work she’d been training for since she was a pup. “It wasn’t really a battle with cancer,” Ritcey said. “She was done real quick.” Ritcey, a longtime

“Dogs are amazing,” said Kamloops SAR manager Alan Hobler. “They can smell out clues that aren’t available to the naked eye, stuff that’s buried or hidden. The other thing is they can cover a lot of ground really quick. A search dog can probably cover an area that about eight people would be required to search for the same level of detection.”
It’s a hefty workload, Ritcey said, one that requires an extremely energetic and younger dog. On Friday, he spread Ruby’s ashes in a spot where they trained together over the past two years. Later this month, a litter of pups will be born that he hopes contains a female yellow Lab that will become his new partner.
“Ruby touched a soft spot in my heart. I know you shouldn’t try to replace your dog; you should get a new one, but it is kind of a replacement.” While he spent two years validating Ruby, Ritcey said he hopes he can work full time with his next dog, and get her searching the province’s backcountry within a year to 15 months.
This is a Facebook photo of Mike Ritcey and his dog Ruby. The pair volunteered with the Kamloops Search and Rescue up until Ruby died this month due to cancer.

Highland Valley Copper bargaining to resume Highland Valley Copper and its union are expected to restart bargaining at the end of June. Kyle Wolff, president of United Steelworkers Local 7619, said the union has asked the company for dates at the end of June. Vince Ready has been called in to lead the mediation. “It will be day-by-day,” Wolff said of bargaining.
“I think things will hurry up in short order.” The two sides last met for bargaining in January. The more than 1,000 unionized workers have been without a contract since September last year. Copper prices are currently trading in the $2.50 range, between a peak of $3.75 in 2012 and bottom of $2 in February of last year.

Ranchers attend cattlemen’s weekend AGM CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Several hundred ranchers gathered in Kamloops over the weekend to consider their place in an industry that is prospering, albeit with storm clouds on the horizon. Kamloops-based B.C. Cattlemen’s Association held its AGM in the city for the first time in more than a decade. About 350 ranchers and industry people were in attendance. “The state of the industry is pretty good,” said general manager Kevin Boon. While cattle prices have come off record highs, they remain high and have picked up recently. The exchange rate with the U.S. dollar is also helping the industry here compete. There are, however, storms on the horizon — both literally and figuratively. In the short term, Boon said ranchers are dealing with low-level flooding this month
due to the late melt and wet spring. “Everyone is looking at the beautiful green but it’s not growing,” he said. “We need heat.” Boon said the industry is concerned that cool weather may continue through the summer. In the mediumterm, Boon acknowledged there is concern about opening up NAFTA and exposing the industry to protectionist changes. But he noted industry leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico recently met and issue a joint statement arguing against tariffs and other protectionist measures. “NAFTA is looming but that’s not necessarily too bad,” he said. “We don’t think beef will be affected too much.” Improvements for Canada’s beef industry would include levelling the playing field on use of technology, he said. Members will vote on a number of resolutions. This year they include concerns over B.C.’s new Water

JUGGLING WORK AND LIFESTYLE Balancing work and personal life is a problem battled long before cellphones, the Internet and other modern forms of communication. Pagers have been around since 1921 and gained popularity in 1949, which is coincidentally about the time when the term “workaholic” first appeared. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, its first known reference came in the Toronto Daily Star in 1947. There’s something Canada can be proud — giving the world a word to describe a person who works compulsively at the expense of other pursuits. Work-life balance is undoubtedly being discussed more and more and it’s likely cellphones, email and social media accelerated the growth of this longstanding concern. But achieving a better balance is a struggle for many. According to an Insights West Poll, the majority of Canadians working fulltime said they worked late in the six months prior. More than a third reported the office “following them” when spending time with family or friends. Whether it is a growing problem or just the perception of a problem, a concept introduced by the French government makes a lot of sense. A recently passed bill allows workers the right to disconnect, setting specific hours on evenings and weekends when they should not send or answer emails. It is an interesting concept, but you have to wonder if people would take advantage of it. Concern about work-life balance is a real problem. But on the other hand, being a workaholic is also something of a badge of honour. — Penticton Western News

Standing up to squatters
T
wo B.C. municipalities were in court last week, trying to get injunctions against new tent camps that are trying to get established in their communities. One is on a city-owned vacant lot on Main Street in Vancouver. Another is next to the highway bypass in Maple Ridge, an area plagued by transient camps in the past. Contrary to the impression left by careless and conflicthappy media reports, these camps are not spontaneous or the result of harsh economic conditions and cruel government policies. They are staged and funded by an outfit that currently calls itself the Alliance Against Displacement. The Vancouver squat is also being supported by the Pivot Legal Society, a longtime supporter and apologist of anarchist and anti-police mayhem that despoils public and private property. Alliance social media posts show campers at the Main Street camp shouting the usual demands for more free stuff, in front of a banner that says “F— the Vancouver Police!” and “Homes Now!” The front man for Alliance Against Displacement calls himself Ivan Drury. He’s been at this for a while. It was Drury who organized a busload of thugs last summer to come from Vancouver and invade Victoria’s notorious downtown “tent city,” when it was already overflowing with more than 100
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA mostly out-of-town drug users, gangsters and street tourists. He’s no slouch as an organizer. The Victoria tour was timed to coincide with a visit from federal Communities Minister Amarjeet Sohi, who met with B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman at a Victoria hotel. Drury led his posse from the tent squat to the hotel, where they shouted their demands for hundreds of thousands of housing units to be funded by hard-working taxpayers, then staged an assault on the door, trying to force their way in. TV ate it up, as designed, with no effort to explain what was actually going on. Fast-forward to the recent B.C. election campaign. Drury picked a site in Maple Ridge, brought in his occupying force of drifters, junkies and career protesters and supplied them with tents. Then he led a group to crash a campaign event for NDP leader John Horgan, demanding that Horgan visit the camp he had just conjured up. Horgan played along, appar-
ently willing to capitalize on a scene that could be made to reflect badly on the governing B.C. Liberals in a region with two closely contested seats. At least Horgan was cautious enough not to make any commitments to this self-appointed “activist,” as these guys are invariably described. When the RCMP and Maple Ridge bylaw enforcement officers moved in last week to clear the tents, Drury grabbed them off the truck and threw them back on the ground, where the squatters dragged them back to the camp, while spewing profanities at the police. I tip my cap to Maple Ridge acting mayor Tyler Shymkiw, who has struggled along with the rest of the community to provide shelters and “low-barrier” housing to a seemingly endless stream of transients looking for a free ride. “This politically designed camp by people from outside our community was set up for the media,” Shymkiw told the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News. “It’s not a response to the true need of the local population. “This travelling circus is dangerous to those both inside and near it — we’re going to move Heaven and Earth to shut it down before anyone gets hurt.” If only there was a politician at the provincial level who had the guts to say it like it is.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DO HOMEWORK ON AIR-QUALITY RISKS wants to dig. A mine was never there, only the two holes. The significant parts of the Afton mine are now in use by New Gold. I suggest Kamloops residents go online to purpleair.org and look up Kamloops’ air quality. Then, look at Utah’s air quality to compare it to an area with a lot of open-pit mining. I am not for or
against Ajax mine. I will probably be dead by the time it is built. If the group that approves new mines turned down the mine west of Williams Lake that was out in the boondocks, how can it approve a large mine on our back door? If any of the above is incorrect, I stand to be corrected. Don Porter Kamloops
HOW COULD TWO WORDS TAKE NINE MONTHS? Editor: I find it difficult to believe it took nine months to come up with “Boldly Unscripted.” As this brand meant nothing to me, I went
to my trusty Canadian Oxford Dictionary and have come up with three definitions that might clear up some confusion: 1. Courageously delivered without;
2. Forthrightly unplanned; 3. Distinctly unrehearsed; And now we await the flood of tourists. Roz Burnell Kamloops
Editor: What happened to the proposed nuisance abatement bylaw about which articles were written in both Kamloops This Week and The Armchair Mayor in May 2014? Joanne Forde was one of the people who took a wonderful leadership role in approaching the City of Kamloops to consider such a bylaw as is apparently in place in Nanaimo. My wife and I were asked to submit a victim impact statement (seems like quite a measure for a place that has since been downgraded on the memory banks as a simple flop house) and we submitted those statements. Some positive things could happen if such a bylaw came into being. Some costs to taxpayers could be recovered when police, fire, ambulance and bylaw services face numerous complaints and responses to nuisance properties. As I noted to Jon Wilson, former bylaw services manager, even if the property has been repossessed, the owner is the holder of the mortgage and that owner should be held responsible for what takes place on the property. In these days of drug
production seemingly going undetected or not known (in legal terminology where a bust and conviction have not been made), the level of risk increases, for example, from unsophisticated meth labs and disposal problems to the production of concoctions laced with deadly fentanyl. In reading articles I found online, part of the reason this proposal seemed to have died was one or more voting members happened to be a landlord. That bump in the road could be solved by the voting member(s) doing the right thing and recusing themselves from all discussion, influence and voting on the issue. Let’s perhaps have mayor and council reconsider the proposal made by Forde two years ago. Maybe we need to come down to city hall again with photos and more victim impact statements. I’m sure we could fill council chambers with a lot more friendly faces belonging to people who used to be able to live normal lives. I’d hate to see her efforts and the time we took to draft victim impact statements go the graveyard of abated ideas. John Noakes Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS NEWS PROVINCIAL Sandbagging efforts are well underway as Okanagan Lake water levels approach figures not seen since the 1990s. BLACK PRESS PHOTO
Okanagan Lake expected to rise for three more weeks KELOWNA CAPITAL NEWS
KELOWNA — Okanagan Lake continues to rise and is approaching levels last seen in the early 1990s. The lake rose 3.7 centimetres over the weekend, bringing the level to 342.83 metres — four centimetres off 1990s flood level and 17 centimetres away from this year’s projected peak of 343 metres. High temperatures are now causing the upper snowpack to melt. Officials have said the lake will rise for approximately three more weeks and also that many properties that are in danger of flooding around the lake are not prepared. Emergency Operations Centre officials conducted a
detailed shoreline survey and surveillance flights to determine where flooding will likely occur up to 343.6 metres — the projected Okanagan Lake flood level of 343 metres, plus a buffer for wave action. Officials observed that many at-risk lakefront properties lack adequate foreshore protection to this level. Flooding has already started to occur in low-lying areas, so the sooner flood measures are in place, the better. Simple steps like placing sandbags and removing valuables from belowground basements and crawlspaces will help protect at-risk properties. Boating is not recommended because wakes can cause significant impacts on vulnerable properties. Boaters choosing to
access Okanagan Lake are urged to drive slowly, stay away from the shore and avoid several areas at risk due to high waters and wave action. Boat wakes can have significant impact on vulnerable properties. Boaters are reminded they can be fined for operating a power-boat over 10 km/h within 30 metres of shore. Boaters who choose to disregard safety notifications may also be fined. Flooding has deposited significant debris in Okanagan Lake, including large trees, branches and even submerged docks, making navigation on the lake hazardous. Municipal and public safety crews continue to install flood protection works including sandbag walls, bladder dams and gabion barriers.
Merritt still dealing with flooding MERRITT HERALD
MERRITT — With streamflows remaining high and the weather still hot, the City of Merritt has called in some helping hands to fill sandbags across from the civic centre. According to the city, about 18 workers were in Merritt on
Sunday and Monday to assist with filling sandbags for public use. The sandbagging support came from an earlier application made by the City of Merritt to Emergency Management BC. With the application granted, the workers took on 10-hour shifts on both Sunday and

PROVINCIAL NEWS This memorial sat at the entrance to Diamond Vale elementary school in Merritt in 2008, after Kaitlynne, 10, Max, 8, and Cordon, 5, were killed in their Merritt home by their father, Alan Schoenborn. Schoenborn was later found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder. He is set to appear before a review board panel this week seeking further freedoms. KTW FILE PHOTO

Schoenborn set for review hearing on Wednesday THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The case of a British Columbia man found not criminally responsible for killing his three children because of a mental illness is up for review, two years after a provincial board opened the door to him receiving supervised day trips. Allan Schoenborn has yet to be granted escorted day passes, despite the B.C. Review Board delegating the authority to grant them in May 2015 to the director of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in suburban Vancouver. Schoenborn stabbed his 10-year-old daughter Kaitlynne and smothered his two sons Max and Cordon, eight and five, at the family’s home in Merritt in April 2008. A court ruled he was experiencing psychosis at the time and believed he was saving his children from a life of crime, and physical and sexual abuse. Schoenborn’s annual review board hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. His lawyers, Diane Nielsen and Dante Abbey, have not said whether they will request any
responsible because of mental disorder. Lawyer Rishi Gill, who represents Schoenborn in the high-risk accused proceedings, described the change as a “huge waste of resources’’ that punishes people with mental illness. “This legislation is purely political,’’ Gill said, adding Schoenborn’s next appearance in that case is scheduled for mid-June. The 2015 review board decision says Schoenborn was diagnosed as having a delusional disorder, a substance abuse disorder and paranoid personality traits, but his symptoms have been in remission for many years. The document also describes how Schoenborn has suffered “significant negative attention’’ while in custody because of the notoriety of his offences including taunts, name-calling, threats and physical assault. The B.C. Review Board sits in panels of three and can order someone to remain in custody or grant them either a conditional or absolute discharge. Custody orders can be tailored to individual cases.

And, frankly, they’re not doing a bad job.’’ Escorted outings are typically brief, lasting no longer than two hours, Nielsen and Abbey said in an email. Patients are accompanied by at least two staff members and visits are planned at pre-arranged locations near the hospital. The Crown is also applying separately in B.C.

Trudeau stands by MMIW inquiry THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested over the weekend that it should be no surprise that the inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women has run into some snags. “There were always going to be big challenges with such an important and meaningful commission,’’ said Trudeau, who was in Alberta’s capital to promote his government’s child care policies. Recently, there has been criticism that the inquiry is proceeding too slowly and that some of the victims’ families are becoming anxious. Trudeau said it’s essential to have the inquiry to help put an end to what he calls an “ongoing national tragedy,’’ but he steered clear of second guessing the inquiry’s commissioners. “We are trusting the commissioners to do the work that we laid out that they need to do,’’ he said. The chief commissioner responded last week to criticisms about delays. Marion Buller says some “tremendous work’’ has already been done but blames poor communications for that information not getting to the public. She said part of the reason for the delays is that commissioners are taking a different path than previous courtroom style inquiries.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Freeland to trumpet Canadian tolerance — but no shouting at Trump MIKE BLANCHFIELD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says the world wants Canada to trumpet tolerance and diversity. That’s her plan for what is being billed as a major foreign policy speech early next month. International figures, such as former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, think that’s a fine idea and about time too, in a world grappling with growing nativism, intolerance and anti-immigration sentiment — a phenomenon they lay at the feet of U.S. President Donald Trump. But Freeland diverges with many in the world on whether that values speech needs to aim at Trump. Annan, who was in Ottawa recently to help launch a new think-tank devoted to the study of pluralism, says the time has come for politicians to show courage and speak out in the face of disturbing new global trends. Freeland is no less passionate about defending and advocating on behalf of what she has called the “open society.’’ But when it comes to how that might be accomplished, her approach might be described as: no shout-
ing at Trump please, we’re Canadian. “I am a big believer in humility being a Canadian and national virtue,’’ the minister told The Canadian Press in an interview last week. “We’re all taught as kids that bragging is not polite. “Having said that, I think that ambition is not the opposite of humility. And now is a great moment for Canada to be ambitious at home . . . and be ambitious about what our voice can accomplish in the world.’’ Freeland adds the “world is really listening for what Canada has to say.’’ In the past, an assertion like that could have been dismissed as self-serving bombast. However, a group of prominent international observers — who will play a role in shaping the foreign policy discussion in Canada in coming years — are cajoling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to take to the rooftops and start shouting. They say it is a message that needs to be heard not only in the U.S., but in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. “Mainstream leaders have to have the courage to take on these issues and offer alternatives,’’ said Annan, who is a board member of
the Ottawa-based Global Centre for Pluralism, which has the backing of the federal government and the Aga Khan. Annan said whenever he speaks in the United States, he tells Americans to look to their northern neighbour as an example of good behaviour. “Three, four weeks before the election, nobody thought Trudeau would win. But he started speaking to the people, defending Canadian values — we will receive refugees, we will welcome them,’’ Annan said. “I think you’re on the right track and I hope others will follow you. Not the other way around.’’ With Trudeau headed back to Europe this week for the NATO and G7 summits in Brussels and Sicily — the prime minister will be in lockstep with Trump’s debut on the multilateral stage — Annan said that continent needs to learn a few things from Canada about opening borders to refugees. “For a community of 500 million people in the European Union, to receive one million in one year was imminently doable if the will was there,’’ he said. “And here, because you’re open and you understand pluralism, you don’t have that problem.’’
Canadian fighter jets begin patrol of Iceland THE CANADIAN PRESS
Canadian CF-18 fighter jets began patrolling Iceland’s airspace on Monday as part of Canada’s contribution to NATO. The operation is intended
to identify and intercept aircraft that approach NATO airspace in Iceland. About 180 members of the Canadian Forces will be involved in the roughly month-long operation that involves six CF-18 fighter jets.
The aircraft will operate out of Keflavik Air Base, near Reykjavik. The campaign is part of Operation Reassurance, intended to reinforce the defence of NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
Operation Reassurance is also intended to ease concerns of NATO allies in the face of Russian aggression toward Ukraine. Iceland is the only NATO country that does not have a standing military.

Trump visits Western Wall, insists he did not mention S P M A C S T R O P S Israel in Russia meeting 2017 McDonald’s Summer
JONATHAN LEMIRE JULIE PACE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — President Donald Trump on Monday defended himself against allegations he divulged classified information in a recent meeting with Russian diplomats, saying alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he never identified Israel in his Oval Office conversation. At the end of his appearance with Netanyahu, Trump said that he “never mentioned the word or the name Israel’’ in his conversation with Russia’s foreign minister and ambassador. “So you have another story wrong,’’ he said. Various reports, quoting anonymous officials, have said Trump did share classified information with Russian diplomats about the threat posed by the Islamic State group, and several have said that information came from Israeli intelligence. But news accounts have not accused Trump of naming Israel as a source of the information. Netanyahu said that U.S.Israeli intelligence co-operation is “terrific,’’ attempting to dismiss concerns that the incident violated the confidentiality of an agreement with Israel. Earlier Monday, on Trump’s first visit to Israel as president, he said he sees a growing recognition among Muslim nations that they share a “common cause’’ with Israel in their determination to counter threats posed by Iran. Arriving from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Trump expressed his hope for co-operation among U.S. allies in the Middle East. Israel was his second stop on a nine-day tour aimed to test the waters for reviving the dormant Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Trump, who had previously suggested that it would be easier than anticipated to solve the conflict that has vexed his predecessors for decades, said that conditions were right in both Israel and the Arab world to strike what he has called “the ultimate deal.’’ “We have before us a rare opportunity to bring security and stability and peace to this region and to its people,’’ Trump said upon his arrival in Tel Aviv. Trump’s first stop was a meet-
Reports dog president ahead of first trip abroad THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told Russian diplomats this month his firing of “nut job’’ James Comey had eased the pressure on him, even as the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation had moved into the White House, according to reports last week that pursued the president as he began his maiden foreign trip. White House hopes that Trump could leave scandalous allegations at home were crushed in a one-two punch of revelations that landed shortly after his departure. A Washington Post report, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, said a senior Trump adviser is now considered a “person of interest’’ in the law enforcement investigation into whether Trump’s campaign associates co-
ing in Jerusalem with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. In a statement following the meeting, Trump addressed his meetings the previous day with Arab and Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, and said that there is growing realization that they share a goal with Israel in their determination to defeat extremism and deter “the threat posed by Iran.’’ Netanyahu called Trump “a true friend’’ to Israel and expressed optimism about the president’s role in the Middle East peace process. But obstacles have emerged that may complicate the relationship between the White House and the Israel. Trump, wearing a black skullcap, on Monday became the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall. Trump touched it in prayer and, adhering to tradition, placed a note in a deep crevice. He also toured the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which by Christian tradition is where Jesus was crucified and the location of his tomb. On Tuesday, he is set to meet with Palestinian lead Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank and deliver a speech at the Israeli Museum. But Trump may face concerns from Israelis over the new $110 billion arms deal he announced
ordinated with Russia in an effort to sway the 2016 election. And The New York Times reported that the president had told Russian officials he felt the dismissal of his FBI director had relieved “great pressure’’ on him. The White House has said the firing was unrelated to the FBI’s Russia investigation. Late Friday, the Senate intelligence committee announced that Comey had agreed to testify at an open hearing at an undetermined date after Memorial Day. Comey will certainly be asked about encounters that precipitated his firing, including a January dinner in which, Comey has told associates, Trump asked for his loyalty. In the Oval Office weeks later, Comey told associates, the president asked him to shut down an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
during his stop in Saudi Arabia as well as questions from Israeli officials about the revelations that he disclosed sensitive Israeli intelligence to Russian officials. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, speaking to reporters onboard Air Force One, said the U.S. could provide clarifications to Israel about the disclosure but said, “I don’t know that there’s anything to apologize for.’’ White House aides have also tried to play down expectations for significant progress on the peace process during Trump’s stop, casting the visit as symbolic. Tillerson referred to the visit as “a moment in time’’ and suggested that the U.S. would take a more active role in the future in brokering a deal if both sides make serious commitments. Trump, whose unorthodox approach has spurred some hope on both sides of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, has done no such managing of expectations. He boldly stated that achieving peace is “something that I think is, frankly, maybe not as difficult as people have thought over the years.’’ in March during a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. “But we need two willing parties,’’ he said then. “We believe Israel is willing. We believe you’re willing. And if you both

faster and further, in a very concrete way.’’ Germany and France could either propose a joint corporate tax system of their own or concentrate on pushing efforts for a harmonized assessment of corporate taxes at the European Union level, Schaeuble said. “Both are ambitious,’’ he conceded, noting that wider tax harmonization is difficult because it would require consensus among EU leaders. Le Maire said there needs to be better co-ordination of economic policy. He said investment will also be considered and stressed France’s willingness to consider deeper reforms.

hank you caregivers and child care professionals!
Child www.kamloopsthisweek.com
For all hard-working parents, child care is a very important part of their child’s everyday life, and this May we want to recognize and say thank you to the professionals who nurture and educate our children while we are away.
Child care professionals build the brains and hearts of our little ones by providing warm, inviting and safe settings where children can play, explore and learn. Early Childhood Educators are knowledgeable in many areas of child health, growth and brain development, and are trained to provide care that is stimulating for each age and stage of early childhood. Very young children need to feel safe, secure and loved to grow and develop optimally. Parents can look for caregivers who are warm and responsive to their child when seeking quality child care. Young children will thrive in environments where they can explore, imagine and create for themselves. High quality child care provides some structure, age-appropriate materials and a safe environment while allowing children to try things for themselves (with or without help). It is often said that “play is a child’s work” because children do their best learning through play! It is with tremendous respect that Make Children First celebrates all the care givers in our community. Thank you for helping us create a caring community where all children thrive.
— SUE LISSEL MANAGER, MAKE CHILDREN FIRST For more local resources and information about the importance of the early years, please visit www.makechildrenfirst.ca

Thank You!

Red Collar staffer Jessica Edbom shows off the local brewery’s foray into canned beer, which comes with a political twist. Dubbed Impeachment and Alternative Facts, the two new brews poke fun at the Trump administration. “We just look at it and think it’s a huge joke,” said sales and marketing co-ordinator Lara Beardsell. “We might as well get in on it.” Alternative Facts is a cloudy IPA with an IBU of zero — or is it? — available at the brewery on Lansdowne Street. Impeachment is a wit, available at the brewery but also in select liquor stores.
Pemberton Music Festival canceled , filed for bankruptcy VANCOUVER — The Pemberton Music Festival has filed for bankruptcy and this year’s event has been cancelled. Those who have already bought tickets to the event that was scheduled to start July 13 may also be out of luck when it comes to getting a quick refund. A statement posted on the festival website says because the partnership that organizes the festival is in bankruptcy, it has no ability to provide refunds. It says ticket holders can file a claim as an unsecured creditor, but estimates that process would take several
weeks to resolve itself. Financial services firm Ernst & Young Inc. was appointed as a trustee to oversee the process. A statement on its website said ticket sales did not meet expectations this year and a weak Canadian dollar caused troubles for the festival as
many of its entertainment costs had to be paid in American dollars. The statement also noted the festival had trouble attracting talent for this year’s festival because of a limited number of artists who were touring in 2017. Tens of thousands of people took in last year’s event. The festival was first held in 2008, but took a five-year hiatus between 2009 and 2013. The event suffered significant losses in each of the previous three years — The Canadian Press
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.
If Gay Pooler’s plans come to fruition, next weekend’s annual Spring Fest will demonstrate the need for a public square in downtown Kamloops. “Every downtown should have a public square,” said the general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association. “And we don’t have one downtown.” Spring Fest, dubbed downtown’s art and music festival, is from May 26 to May 28. The event will feature sidewalk sales, live music, art demonstrations and more. Many of the activities will centre around the Kami Inn parking lot and Pooler said a properly managed public square is among the top 20 ingredients for a successful downtown. “You can build a square and they will come only if it’s managed properly,” Pooler said. During the festival, the space will be set up with a main stage and seating. Activities such as checkers will be ongoing and people can watch nine artists collectively paint the large, 95-foot wall connected to Jonathan Buchner Gems and Jewellery. By the end of the weekend, it will showcase a mural inspired by Mona Caron, a San Francisco artist known for largescale murals of plants. “We’re demonstrating some different possibilities,” Pooler said. “Obviously, it would be great to have a permanent public square downtown. We would program it and put things in there all the time.” It’s not the first time the KCBIA has set up a temporary location in which to draw crowds. In the past, Fourth Avenue, between Victoria and Lansdowne streets, has been utilized. “We want to build it and grow it and really have it be a gathering place for the city and for visitors,” Pooler said. Spring Fest will see businesses and activities running through 8 p.m. on the Friday and Saturday nights. “We have lots of people saying we should be doing this, we should be open,” Pooler said. “So we are, so come down and enjoy it.” Bees and the Bare Bones and At Mission Delores will be among headlining bands.

Kamloops got behind a real major event and pushed it,” said Ron McColl, who worked for the parks and recreation department when the Games came to Kamloops in 1993. “It was a turning point for our community and very important in terms of our self-concept and growth.” Kamloops will celebrate that turning point this week, as the city plays host to the Canada Games Flag Relay, a nation-wide
tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Canada Games in 1967, as well as
Canada 150. Attractions will be held at the Tournament Capital Centre throughout the week. The 1980s had been hard on Kamloops. Interest rates were high, families were struggling and the city itself was in the midst of an identity crisis. Kamloopsians were looking for something to hang their hats on, McColl said, something to be known for. They had Overlander Days, but the annual event never

became truly iconic. The city branded itself as The Hub City, capitalizing on its position in the heart of the Interior, but it didn’t seem to resonate with residents. In the mid-1980s, the Tournament Capital of Canada concept came to the fore. By 1993, the city knew it had hit the mark.

The Canada Games Shumway Lake Regatta Centre and the Canada Games Sailing Centre at Nicola Lake were built, as were Charles Anderson Stadium downtown and Canada Games Field on McArthur Island. Construction began on the Canada Games Rotary Tennis Centre. Though neither exist anymore, the Kamloopa Club and the Kamloops Rugby Club received new facilities on the Tk’emlups Indian Band. Even the construction of Riverside Coliseum a few years earlier had been done with a bit of an eye to the Games. More than $700,000 in equipment — track and field gear, sailboats, canoes and kayaks, sports medicine equipment — was purchased and remained in the city.

Barnhartvale Road was closed earlier this month due to extensive flooding in the community east of the Kamloops city centre. The Blackwell Dairy Fun Run may experiment with a new route for the first time in more than three decades because of detours in the area.
BLACKWELL BREAK?
ANNUAL RUN CONSIDERING ROUTE CHANGES AS LOCAL COMMUNITY HARD HIT BY SPRINGTIME FLOODING ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
For the first time in its 33-year history, the Blackwell Dairy Fun Run is considering a detour. The annual race, which includes both 15-kilometre and three-kilometre courses, is considering a new route for 2017 as a result of high waters in Barnhartvale. “A detour may be in place on run day,” said race director Chris Larouche. “Other options will be implemented if traffic is still detoured on Blackwell Road, for the safety of the runners.” A swollen Campbell Creek prompted the City of Kamloops to close Barnhartvale Road on May 6, as water began to flow overtop the roadway and a bridge near the Barnhartvale Community Hall. Traffic has since been rerouted onto Blackwell Road. Both roads are normally part of the Blackwell Dairy course. Tammy Robertson, information officer for the City of Kamloops’ Emergency Operations Centre, until the water recedes, said it’s impossible to know when Barnhartvale Road will reopened and the detour removed. “Nothing has changed in terms of the repair work or what that’s going to look like,” she said. “Because the water is still over the road, we need to wait until it recedes enough that we can do the proper analysis and evaluation of what needs to be

repaired at that point. “We don’t know what erosion might have occurred, if any. Until we can see it, I can’t say.” The increased traffic on Blackwell Road — a narrow gravel street the course normally takes as it makes its way away from the start line — as well as the inability for racers to use Barnhartvale Road as they head back toward the finish, might necessitate a change in the course. “Typically, during a run event, it takes runners 15 to 25 minutes to traverse that two-and-a-half or three-kilometre segment,” Larouche said of Blackwell Road. “You very seldom see a vehicle. You might see one or two vehicles on that road the whole 15 or 20 minutes. “But, with the rerouted traffic, the volume of vehicles is just way too much. They’re going too fast to have runners on it.” Larouche said the Interior Ridge Runners will have two courses mapped out in advance
of the Sunday, May 28 race — the traditional course and a new route. He anticipated that because of the road work the city will need to do as the level of Campbell Creek continues to fall, the alternate route will likely be in use come race day. But, Larouche said, a few directions are all that will change for the run east of the Kamloops city centre. “It will still be the same quiet country road run that draws people out to run,” he said. “It will be the same nice, scenic, rolling country hills that Blackwell Dairy is known for.” Blackwell Dairy’s 15km race is part of the Interior Running Association road series. The three-kilometre distance is a fun run aimed at children and families. Refreshments, a pancake breakfast and door prizes are all part of race day festivities.

CLEVELAND — Leprechauns are imaginary. Celtic pride is very real. Avery Bradley’s three-pointer danced on the rim and dropped with less than a second left and Boston, blown out in the first two games of the NBA Eastern Conference final and playing without star Isaiah Thomas, stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-108 on Sunday night in Game 3 to end the champions’ 13-game post-season winning streak. Bradley’s shot from the left wing — off a play designed by coach Brad Stevens — bounced on the rim four times before going down. It capped a furious, focused comeback by the Celtics, who trailed by 21 in the third quarter before rallying to tighten up a series that appeared to be over. “Wide-open look,’’ Bradley said. “Al (Horford) did a great job of getting me open and Marcus (Smart) made a great pass and I was able to knock down the shot.’’ Smart, who started in place of Thomas, made seven threepointers and scored 27 points and Bradley had 20 for the Celtics, who were given little chance after losing by 44 in Game 2 and then losing Thomas for the rest of the post-season because of a hip injury. “Everybody had to step up their game tonight especially with one of our brothers down,’’ Smart said. “Our love and sup-

port goes out to Isaiah. We wish he could be here but we understand. We just kept fighting. Everybody did their part.’’ Kyrie Irving scored 29 points, and Kevin Love had 28 for Cleveland. The Cavaliers dropped to 10-1 in the post-
season with their first loss since Game 4 of last year’s Finals. LeBron James had one of the worst games of his post-season career, finishing with 11 points and six turnovers. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

BOSTON HERALD PHOTO
Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops had 15 points for the Boston Celtics in a 111-108 victory over the hometown Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. Boston, down 2-1 in the NBA Eastern Conference final, will be looking to tie the series Tuesday in Cleveland. Game time is 5:30 p.m.
PITTSBURGH — Erik Karlsson had a different perspective after his Ottawa Senators lost Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final 7-0 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. Better a blowout than a nail-biting loss, he said. “It’s wrong to say, but I’d rather lose like this than in overtime or anything like that,’’ said Karlsson, the Senators leading postseason scorer who didn’t play the third period. “We didn’t play the way that we needed to be in this game. They certainly did. We
know that it’s unacceptable and we have to move on.’’ The thrashing gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead in the series while leaving the Senators on the brink of elimination. The Penguins, who won the Stanley Cup last season, can clinch a return trip to the final as soon as Tuesday, when Ottawa hosts Game 6. Game time is 5 p.m. “It was just that kind of night,’’ said Senators goaltender Craig Anderson, who was pulled twice in the game and finished with 10 saves on 14 shots. “They were going. They were going good. They got the bounces. They got the good plays. They made some
good shots. Top to bottom, it just wasn’t good enough for the guys in the white shirts tonight.’’ Pittsburgh goaltender Matt Murray picked up his second career post-season shutout, making 25 saves. Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust and Phil Kessel each had a goal and an assist, and Carter Rowney and Evgeni Malkin each added three assists for Pittsburgh, which scored four times in the first period and became the first team to win two straight games in the series. It got so bad for the Senators that three players who left with what were appar-
ently nagging ailments — Karlsson, centre Derrick Brassard and defenceman Cody Ceci — were told not to bother returning for the third period. The seven goals are one more than the Penguins totalled through the first four games of the series. “It’s done and over with now,’’ Senators defenceman Dion Phaneuf said. “It was not pretty in any aspect for our team. You could say it’s humbling to get beat like that. They were harder everywhere. They played much better, without stating the obvious. “It’s done now. Move on to Game 6.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Douglas Cuyler Masterton Born January 31, 1946 Died May 16, 2017 at age 71
With deepest sadness we announce the passing of Doug of Kamloops, BC. Doug is predeceased by his parents Douglas and Mildred Masterton and his brother Mark Masterton. Doug is survived by his wife Carol, his sisters Patricia Breeden (Sid), Joann McLellan (Fred), Sandra Tackitt, Penny Masterton, Heather Shiels (Barry) and Melodie Masterton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and long time friends. Doug is also survived by his step-son Gordie (Tracey) and grandchildren Tyler and Allie who he was very fond of. Doug was born at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and spent his early years at the family home in Birch Island in the North Thompson. His home was known as the Birch Island Hotel. He went to schools in Birch Island and Clearwater for his education. He started his working career in the logging industry and progressed to working on the Mica Dam Project and over the years many jobs in Alberta and British Columbia in road building and pipeline construction. He was a long time member of the Teamsters. It was during this time he made his home in Kamloops. There will be no funeral service by request. A Celebration of Life will be announced in the future. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Peter Gorman and Sharon for the excellent care during his illness. A special thank you to the nurses of IV Therapy at the Royal Inland Hospital who took such good care of Doug. He always said the nurses were special people.
Margaret Ann Hoffman A very special woman, Margaret Ann Hoffman, passed away on May 6, 2017. Mom, who was never sick, not even a headache, was diagnosed with leukemia just four weeks before she died. Margaret was born in Creston, BC in 1943 and was the daughter of the late Harry and Jesse Mather. Creston is where she met her one and only true love Neil and they were married in 1964. Mom and Dad loved to travel and spent many winters in Arizona and Mexico. Always best friends, Mom never stopped mourning Dad after he died and her hope to be reunited with him was what gave her strength during her illness. Surviving Margaret are her three children Paula (Kent), Shauna (Lorne) and Todd (Rashel), and her six grandchildren Rhett, Jordyn, Evan, Karlee, Riley and Kelsey. She is also survived by her three brothers Joe (Marion), Johnny (Irene) and Buster. After Dad passed away, Mom continued to travel to Mexico and was just there in March of this year. Around home, Mom loved to putter in her garden and enjoyed a good murder mystery over a bowl of popcorn. She had a great sense of humour and her favourite expression seemed to be “we’ll do that later”. If she was having a bad day you would never know it. Mom loved life, her family and her friends. As per mom’s request, there will not be a funeral. Special thank you to a very kind Dr. J. Wiltshire.

Judy Budnyk
February 18, 1950 - May 2, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Miss Judy Budnyk on May 2, 2017. On this day, we lost a wonderful lady! We will miss her beautiful smile, her laughter, the twinkle in her eye, her warm “hellos” and “hi honeys”, and of course her mischievious nature. Judy was predeceased by her Mom Shirley and her Dad Onusrey [James]. She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law Doug and Gail Beamish. Judy was a lovely lady who had a full happy life and she was warmly welcomed wherever she went. She was a member of the Alliance Church and the Crown Jewels Society - the Kamloops chapter is called the Ravishing Rubies. Judy loved life, enjoyed music, going to concerts, her monthly dinner meetings with the Ravishing Rubies, Zumba classes at the YMCA and of course her finger knitting. She will be sadly missed by her family, friends, her roomates –Deb, Andy and Launie and of course all her caregivers - both past and present. Judy you were admired, respected and loved and you always gave that back to us. We invite you to join us for a Celebration of Judy’s Life at her home, 625 Bissette Rd, Westsyde on Friday, May 26, 2017 at 1:00 pm. All we ask that you bring is yourself, your smiles and as Judy would say your “HELLO”! Judy’s body will be laid to rest next to her parents at the Valleyview Cemetery in Surrey, BC. Rest in peace Judy.

James Pelter “Jay” Ross Doctor of Philosophy
April 13, 1941 - April 14, 2017 In loving memory we announce the passing of ‘Jay’ on Friday April 14, 2017 at 76 years of age. He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother–in-law, uncle and friend. Jay is survived by wife Louise, son Paul (Rae), granddaughter Kerys, sister Mary Grace(Steve) Polak, brother Robert, nephews, nieces and their children, extended family, good friends and many acquaintances. Jay was born in New Westminster B.C. He completed his Doctorate at U.B.C. in 1973 and moved to Kamloops in early 1974. Jay developed Agri Supply and continued there until he sold the company in August 2015. Agri Supply was always on his mind. The business was an integral aspect of his life. Jay loved life and enjoyed a multitude of interests. As a young boy his many interests continued thorough his life. He enjoyed singing, hiking, birding, kite flying, guitar, and many sports – culminated with golf: golf was a passion, along with the many friendships shared. Jay also enjoyed choir and took it very seriously. He loved music and singing, and always sang to the best of his potential. A special thank you to staff at Dialysis and Oncology at R.I.H. We are especially grateful for the caring of Social Worker, Karla Ramsey, who arranged Jay’s end of life care at Kamloops Hospice. The care performed by various professionals, for Jay and family, is truly appreciated. At Jay’s request there will not be a formal service. A time of gathering will be held in the future. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Roberta Elsie Gilmore (nee LeRiche)
June 13, 1927 - May 10, 2017 On May 10, 2017, Roberta passed away peacefully at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, British Columbia. Roberta was just shy of her 90th birthday. She and her husband Bill had relocated to Kamloops from Tsawwassen in August 2016 where they had lived for 36 years. Roberta was born in Montreal on June 13, 1927 to Stanley and Bertha (nee Hoult) LeRiche. She attended Montreal High School and went on to graduate from the Royal Victoria Hospital as a registered nurse in 1949. After graduating, Roberta practiced and taught nursing at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC. Roberta met Bill, a McGill mining engineering graduate, on New Years Eve 1948 and they were married in January 1952. They moved to Atikokan, Ontario where she continued her nursing career in the local hospital. The family moved to Baie Verte, Newfoundland in 1962 where Roberta became the public health nurse for the region at the request of the provincial government in St. John’s. After moving to Vancouver in 1964, Roberta continued her career with the YMCA International College until her retirement at the age of 65. After retirement, she maintained an active role in the Hospice movement in Ladner, BC and worked as a volunteer with the Delta Hospital Auxiliary until the summer of 2016. Roberta is survived by her loving husband Bill and their two children David (Anita) and Lesly (Bruce).

John Victor Epp
Allison and Jennifer and by her great-grandchildren Isaiah, Nita, Luca, Jade, Zac and Clay, as well as by her sister Jeanne and brother-in-law Sam (Janet) along with many friends and relatives. Roberta was a strong and vibrant individual. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed cross stitching quilting and knitting, had real sense of adventure and loved to travel. Mom had a real affection for animals. She was generous with her time in the aid of others and continued to support causes close to her heart until the end. Our family is deeply grateful to the staff of Berwick on the Park Retirement Residence in Kamloops, the medical staff of Royal Inland Hospital, Dr. Peter Loland and staff for their kindness and care and to Dr. Larry Adam in Tsawwassen. A Memorial Service to Celebrate Roberta’s Life will be held at All Saints Ladner Anglican Church, 4755 Arthur Drive, Delta, BC at 1:00 pm on June 24th, 2017.

Reasons Kamloops
Loves Canada!
John Victor Epp passed away on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House in Kamloops at the age of 71 years. He was born in Chilliwack, on May 29, 1945. John is survived by his loving wife Alice, son Keith (Ramona), and daughter Wendy as well as grandsons Freddie and Jimmy Epp, Michael, Matthew and Markus Lysak, sister Rita Klassen of Kelowna, brother Bruno Epp of Chilliwack and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents John & Katie Epp, and brother Menno Epp. In 1968 John met Alice and they were married in Chilliwack in 1969. They moved to Ashcroft to begin 48 wonderful years together. Their family grew when Keith was born in 1971. Two years later their family was complete when Wendy was born. As far as Keith and Wendy were concerned, he was the best Dad ever. John worked for Sardis Explosives in Ashcroft starting in 1969. When that job ended he drove Greyhound and worked for the Department of Highways for a short time. In 1980, Dad started hauling ore from Highland Valley Copper with Arrow Transport, and continued until his retirement in November 2002. He did many trips up and down the hill and saw something new every day. Dad never had an accident in his career and received many safe driving awards. In 2002 Dad was thrilled to become a grandpa for the first time, and that happiness grew with each additional grandson. He was so proud of all five grandsons and cherished each one of them. Freddie, Jimmy, Michael, Matthew and Markus have so many great memories of their grandpa and will miss him dearly. In February 2017 Mom and Dad moved to Cottonwood Manor in Kamloops where they were very happy. Dad was fiercely loyal and loved his family deeply. We will all miss him dearly, but have so many great memories that we cherish. The family would like to thank everyone for their love and support, especially Dr. Chip Bantock, the entire team at Ashcroft Medical Clinic and the incredible staff at Kamloops Hospice, who made his final days so very peaceful. A Celebration of Life for John was held from 2-4pm on Saturday, May 20th from the Dogwood Room of Cottonwood Manor 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Kamloops.
