Jacquie Brand What piece of art did you buy?

What do you like best about your artwork?

Galapagos Revisited by Ann Diehl

Anne Diehl is one of my favourite artists I have two pieces from past Timeraisers by her and when I saw “Galapagos Revisited” I immediately recognized her unique style without even seeing her name. Her work with acrylics is bold, and I am drawn to her style and use of colours that play together so well. I am always interested in the back stories of artwork and appreciate her abstract interpretation of her travels to the Galapagos.

What organization(s) did you volunteer with to pay for your art?

BC Living Arts, Kamloops Arts Council, Kamloops & Area Chapter MS Society, Boogie The Bridge, Kidney Foundation, Project X Theatre, Pommy Rescue Society

What do you like best about the organization you volunteered for?

I was the ED of the Kamloops Arts Council for 10 years and when I moved on to work for the YMCA-YWCA I wanted to continue to be a part of our amazing arts community. I loved being on the board of BC Living Arts helping plan and support artistically driven events, hosting coffee shop discussion debating the merit of the arts in Kamloops and being part of a creative, imaginative and unique team of individuals. It became a beautiful compliment to my new life in the ant-violence field, allowing me maintain my connections in the arts community - and use “that other” part of my brain! As for the other fantastic organizations I had the opportunity to volunteer with, after being on boards for years, it was SO much fun to help with one off events where I had got to meet so many wonderful people and have fun for the day while helping my community.

What do you like about the Timeraiser event?

There are SO many different pieces at play in the Timeraiser! Generally events serve one or two facets of the community but with the Timeraiser, there are so many that benefit. First off, the Kamloops Arts Councils receives a commission from the pieces that are purchased at their Emerging Artist Juried Show, the artists themselves receive the purchase price for their piece, the company or organization that purchase the pieces receives kudos for their support of the arts community AND they get to enjoy the piece throughout the year. Those who attend the Timeraiser - art lovers, philanthropists and volunteers - have an opportunity to meet the many amazing local non-profit organizations that make our city better, and the dedicated and passionate people who run

City accepting property tax payments at TCC Construction delays in area of City Hall prompts city staff to move in-person payments to recreation centre recreation facility, which is located at 910 McGill Road.

“We’ve got people, actual reallife people upstairs at the TCC, who can collect your taxes,” she said. “Because of all the construction, we did not want people coming to City Hall.”

Humphrey said City Hall continues to be busy. She said the alternative location has better parking and, best of all, avoids the hustle and bustle of commuters amidst a busy construction zone.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city is reminding residents wishing to pay their property taxes in person to avoid the busy construction zone downtown around City Hall and instead head to the Tournament Capital Centre.

City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said that in light of the West Victoria Street project, the city set up this year’s tax experts at the

Kiosks upstairs in the parks and recreation office are open Mondays to Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. until July 5.

Five temporary reserved parking stalls have been set aside adjacent to the roundabout.

“Pay at your bank, go online and if you want to pay in person, go to the TCC,” Humphrey said.

To pay using online bill payments, sign into your online banking and search payees for the word “Kamloops.” Then select

the Kamloops property tax option as the payee and use the 10-digit folio number on the notice as the account number.

This year’s property taxes and home owner grant applications are due by July 2. A 10 per cent penalty will be levied on July 3 for any outstanding taxes.

Residents will pay $4.98 per $1,000 of assessed value; businesses will pay $13.57; major industry will pay $71.81; light industry will pay $20.39; non-profits will pay

A wildfire that sparked near Stump Lake Monday afternoon was knocked down in short order by the B.C. Wildfire Service.

Firefighters with support from air tankers responded to the 1.6-hectare blaze about 35 kilometres south of Kamloops, on the east side of the lake near Old Kamloops Road across from Fraser Lake.

The wildfire was listed as under control on Tuesday morning, with a crew of three patrolling the fire for hot spots.

Fire information officer Taylor MacDonald said no structures were threatened.

The fire is suspected to be human caused, she said, noting there’s no further details regarding what started the fire.

The current fire danger rating for the Kamloops Fire Centre is listed as moderate to extreme to start the month of June and MacDonald advised the public to be vigilant.

Kamloops Mounties are hitting the streets with bike, boat and auto awareness.

RCMP bike patrols are expected to ramp up soon with patrols of the downtown core, North Shore and the south shore over the summer.

“We want families to feel safe and welcome in all areas of their community. Bike patrol units are very effective at doing this,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said in a press release.

“They can go into alleys, along sidewalks, trails and through beaches and parks. They are very visible and very proactive.”

Officers on bikes can help prevent crime by being able to access areas a traditional cruiser cannot access.

With the assistance of the detachment’s crime analyst and computer statistics, members of the bike unit can proactively target hot spots or areas with identified higher crime statistics for property crimes, Shelkie said.

Zack’s rebranded, new business opens in regional district building New name for longtime downtown coffee shop comes after sale earlier this year JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The downtown coffee shop scene got two new names on Monday.

Zack’s Coffee Teas and Gifts was officially rebranded as The Vic Downtown and Amplified Cafe opened in the new commercial space in the Thompson Nicola Regional District building, next to the library.

Kamloops city councillor Denis Walsh and business partner Todd Mason purchased Zack’s, which is located in a heritage building at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Victoria Street, and took possession in April with plans to make changes.

On Monday, one of those changes was revealed — a new name, hoisted outside via circular sign and to the windows, in vinyl.

“We just thought we wanted to refresh everything,” Walsh said.

The previous coffee shop moniker was named for the first owner, Dan Zacharias.

The new name is intended to be a punchy nickname for the street upon which the WALSH cafe presides.

However, it also had an unplanned and unexpected tie to the cafe’s new manager, Vicky.

“We should have called it Vicky’s on Vic,” Walsh joked.

Other changes to the coffee shop still to come include new seating and the hiring of additional staff.

As for a previous issue related to honouring old gift certificates, Walsh called it a “rookie mistake” and said the cafe has been honouring them.

He said they were initially concerned about how many could be out there because the coffee shop had been open for so long.

Meanwhile, further down the road, Amplified Cafe opened at 465 Victoria St. on Monday in the TNRD building next to the library.

TNRD communications manager Michelle Nordstrom said the coffee shop is a “really beautiful space” with high ceilings and natural light, serving up hot and cold drinks, baked goods and paninis.

“Really just to offer a place where people

could get a cold or hot beverage and enjoy our library space,” Nordstrom said.

“We’ve got a large seating area connected to the cafe.”

Coffee shop patrons can bring the drinks into the library, so long as they have a lid, to enjoy while browsing for books. Alternatively,

Nordstrom said library patrons can take out a book and read it in the cafe.

The opening of Amplified Cafe marks the final stage of a years-long major renovation to the downtown library and TNRD building.

“We’re always looking to improve our spaces,” Nordstrom said.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Police have apologized to a Kamloops man wrongly targeted by officers following a report of a suspicious occurrence in Westmount — an incident captured on video and shared widely online.

Mounties responded to an area on Collingwood Drive over the noon hour on Thursday for a report of a man “passed out” in a vehicle.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said

the licence plate information provided to police also came back as having been reported stolen.

“With this information, police officers attended to this vehicle with an abundance of caution,” she said, noting the circumstances appeared similar to an incident last weekend in which a police vehicle was rammed by a stolen vehicle.

“When officers approached the man in the vehicle, he was defensive and didn’t comply

with police directions,” Shelkie said.

Shelkie said investigators soon learned the man was the registered owner of the vehicle and had been resting rather than passed out. The vehicle’s licence plate had also been relayed incorrectly and it had never been reported stolen.

“A supervisor attended the scene, explained the circumstances leading to the officers’ actions and apologized to the man,” Shelkie said.

One person was taken to hospital on Friday after a lumber truck rolled and lost its load on Cardew Hill, about 10 kilometres south of Kamloops. Traffic was temporarily reduced to single-lane alternating.

Mosquito numbers decline, but bites may be more likely Less standing water means fewer mosquitos this year, but an agressive breed of bloodsucker is more prevalent locally JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Those who spend time outdoors may have found themselves itching and scratching lately — but mosquito numbers are lower locally than in recent years.

Mosquitos have been hatching and biting and Thompson Nicola Regional District environmental service co-ordinator Martin Dickson said treatment of development sites throughout the region is underway.

Dickson said the TNRD’s contractor wrapped up treatment of snow melt areas — mosquitos lay eggs that sit in the soil awaiting water and heat — about a week and a half ago.

The crew started treatment with larvicide one week earlier this year, at the end of March.

Dickson said mosquitos were particularly bad in the past two years and work started earlier to get a better handle on the situation. This year, he said, there have been fewer development

sites as a result of a “lot less water this year.”

“In the last two years, we had so much water,” Dickson said.

“Precipitation, snow melt water. We had mosquitos early on.”

Dickson said itching and scratching at this time is not likely the result of many mosquitos but instead one particularly aggressive breed, the ochlerotatus dorsalis.

“It doesn’t take a lot of them to make someone think that there is a full-on outbreak,” Dickson said. “They’re just really aggressive and you feel their bites, a little painful. That’s largely what the problem is.”

Warm weather last week activated any remaining snow melt sites and field technicians are “on it,” Dickson said. The contractor started this morning treating sites in the Darfield, Chuchua and Blackpool zones.

With the North Thompson expected to peak this week, aerial treatment from Darfield to Kamloops will target those

activated sites as the flood water rises.

“It’ll peak, that’ll activate the sites, the water will drop a bit, then you will get these pools and you can kill these mosquitos in large numbers,” Dickson said.

Last year, a record amount of larvicide was applied at nearly 17,000 kilograms to about 4,200 hectares of land in the regional district, including Kamloops.

The company’s previous record of 16,190 kilograms was in 2012. Dickson said he hopes the flood water treatment will wrap up over the next couple of weeks.

To report a mosquito development site, contact the 24-hour mosquito advisory line by phone at 250-372-5700 or email bwp@ shaw.ca.

As for itchy residents, Dickson recommended keeping pool covers clean and eaves troughs clean, grass short, wear light-coloured clothing and utilize repellant with deet.

“That’s a proven winner,” he said.

TAKE STEPS TO BE FIRE SAFE

T

his is the time of year when wildfires begin to become top of mind in B.C.’s Interior.

One province over, in Alberta, thousands of people were forced to flee their homes last month as fires raged and closed in on communities.

In Kamloops, on Sunday, flames torched part of a field near Sa-Hali secondary, at times edging close enough to area homes to make residents uncomfortable.

Those residents, at least some of them, reacted by attacking the blaze with garden hoses prior to the arrival of Kamloops Fire Rescue crews, who made quick work of the incident.

Work to limit the potential devastation that could come from interface fires should also be proactive, however.

Most Tournament Capital residents could likely walk the perimeter of their home and find at least a couple of things they could do to help keep their property safe and prevent fires from spreading.

Kamloops Fire Rescue has been educating city residents with its FireSmart program — a set of guidelines to help reduce risk around homes.

Within 10 metres of the home, KFR recommends regularly cleaning debris including twigs, leaves and needles, keeping lawns mowed and watered and keeping eaves clean.

Further out, remove accumulations of branches and any vegetation that could act as a ladder for flames, and be sure to space trees three metres apart.

Last year, a wildfire grew dangerously close to homes in Batchelor Heights, and a blaze sparked by a construction tool blackened a large swath of hillside adjacent to Sun Rivers, putting residents in the area on high alert.

If everyone took steps to keep their home FireSmart and fire safe, the likelihood of wildfires damaging Kamloops homes could be lessened significantly.

The path to graduation

N

early 1,000 students from 16 schools and programs are crossing the stage during this year’s grad season in School District No. 73.

Class size ranges from five students at Logan Lake secondary to 223 at NorKam secondary.

And whether the class is large or small, rural or urban, each student is being cheered on by family, friends and staff at commencement ceremonies and receptions.

Generations of graduates in attendance will recall the pomp and circumstance of their own ceremony years prior.

But what parents and guests attending the ceremonies throughout the district might not recognize from their own graduation experience, or others they’ve observed, is just how varied each graduate’s journey has been.

At the annual Honours’ Reception on May 30, each student that crossed the stage was recognized for their hard work and accomplishments, having achieved in the top five per cent of their school’s population. As their names and future plans were read aloud, it was clear to all in attendance that each student had benefited from the many programs and opportunities available in SD73.

Their pathway to graduation and future aspirations mirror the uniqueness of each graduate in the district.

dents are already enrolled in post-secondary programs at Thompson Rivers University and the University of Toronto. Others have opted to take a certificate program at TRU allowing them to earn their high school diploma and graduate with health care assistant certificate.

And, through SD73 Trades and Transition programs, many students are already employed as apprentices and working on their red seal trade certification.

In recent interviews with the valedictorians from each school it was clear that having a choice in how and what they learn is a key to a student’s success. Whether our grads learned through the arts at Kamloops School of the Arts, prepared for rigorous post-secondary academic studies through our International Baccalaureate program or sought an alternate pathway at Twin Rivers Education Center, something special engaged each of our successful graduates.

At SD73, choosing your own

path is about choosing your right way to learn. These varied journeys to graduation corelate to the district’s steadily rising graduation rates. More than 85 per cent of students in SD73 graduate high school ready for post-secondary school or the workplace.

We are closing in on parity for Aboriginal graduation in part because SD73 is committed to ensuring Aboriginal students see their culture reflected in our schools and classrooms, and that all students learn the history and the culture of the Secwepemc region. We are provincial leaders in this regard, and our district will continue to work hard to see Aboriginal students achieve the same rates of success as all our students.

An important aspect of choosing the right pathway to the future is creating environments where all students feel safe, included and have a sense of identity and belonging. One way SD73 does this is by offering students the choice to find the right program and community to serve their unique needs.

We are proud of the Class of 2019. We are confident of the paths they have chosen to connect to their futures.

As they set off on this next stage of their journey, we are hopeful they will also remember the pathway home, to Secwepemcúlecw.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

REFLECTING ON D-DAY ANNIVERSARY Editor: On June 6, 1944, I arrived by boat on Juno Beach in Normandy, France, with the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

My role was in the mortar platoon.

On June 17, I was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came. I went into a nearby shed to disarm the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of my right arm.

DESIGNATE OUR RIVERSIDE PARK AS SACROSANCT Editor: Thank you for keeping the citizens of Kamloops informed on community news.

Otherwise, we might not know about something before it becomes a done deal.

I was shocked and saddened to read in last Friday’s paper that the public market proponents continue to consider Riverside Park as a venue.

A fine downtown plan was completed in 2018 suggesting moving the parking lot in the 400-block of Victoria Street (between the TNRD Building and the Plaza Hotel) underground and using that space for various activities.

And we now have the old Value Village building close by that could be incorporated into an attractive year-round public market — a community gathering place.

There is no need to try and copy public markets in other cities.

At the same time, there is an obvious need to protect and preserve Riverside Park.

We are so fortunate to have such a place for people of all ages, families and friends to relax and enjoy this oasis free of commercialism.

My suggestion is to designate Riverside Park sacrosanct.

When I returned to Canada, I became a member of The War Amps.

It was started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees.

Through the years, we have made it a goal to remember and commemorate our fallen comrades and to educate youth about the horrors of war.

In Normandy, many Canadians died or suffered wounds that they had to carry for the rest of their lives.

As we mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, it’s important that we never forget.

GOOD THINGS SHOULD HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE Editor: I was at the doctor’s office recently and encountered a woman and her young daughter, who has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair.

She announced to the room that her daughter’s wheelchair had scratched a

vehicle, which turned out to be mine.

She insisted on giving me her number.

When I went out after my appointment and looked at my truck, there was a very small scratch, which I wouldn’t have noticed.

I googled her name and

found she has a Go Fund Me campaign set up for her daughter’s expensive treatment.

This woman has so many challenges in life, but is so kind that she took the time to worry about my insignificant truck and how a scratch might affect me.

Editor: In reference to the story, “Police apologize to man for incident on Westsyde street,” I had a similar experience at 4:30 a.m. in Columbia Square. It was my morning run and I was having a great time — until instantly, I was surrounded by RCMP officers.

They asked me politely for identification and confirmed that “yes”, I was that crazy to be out running at 4:30 in the morning in -10 C weather.

They were responding to a break and enter and I was the only human found in the area. Nothing to complain about there — I was delighted to see the rapid police response.

Seller’s market continues as Vancouver real estate slows May’s average sale price of $492,000 in Kamloops highest on record for the area, according to district real estate president JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops real estate continues to be a seller’s market, with prices driven up by pent-up demand on the part of buyers.

Kamloops and District Real Estate Association president Wendy Runge said the number of listings were up slightly in May, though it was not enough to meet demand.

“There’s buyers that are still waiting,” Runge said. “We’ve had historically low inventory for the last, well almost over a year now. The pent-up demand from buyers who are waiting for the right property. Specifically, there are certain price points that are busier than others. We have not caught up yet to have enough inventory to make it a balanced market. Still definitely on the seller’s side.”

As a result, home prices continue to rise. Runge said the highest average sale price for a single-family home on record was reported in May at $492,000. The highest demand is for homes in the $400,000 to $500,000 range, with homes in the $200,000 to $300,000 range second behind.

“I would say that’s kind of your entry-level home, singlefamily home,” Runge said.

“You’re looking at the four to five mark.”

Runge said the association tracks the areas from which homebuyers are coming. Sixtytwo per cent of buyers in May came from Kamloops and area, while 38 per cent came from “kind of all over the place,” Runge said. About eight per cent

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Kamloops and District Real Estate Association president Wendy Runge said she thinks the lack of a speculation and vacancy tax in Kamloops has helped the region avoid slowdowns seen in other parts of B.C.

THE NUMBERS 327: The number of local residential sales last month, down nearly six per cent from last year 1,223: The number of active residential listings through May, up three per cent from 2018 $492,000: The average price of homes sold in May in Kamloops 62: Percentage of local homebuyers from the Kamloops area

came from Greater Vancouver, with a few more per cent coming from elsewhere in the Lower Mainland area and some from Alberta.

“Kamloops is still pretty affordable,” Runge said, noting the city has been immune to speculation and vacancy taxes.

“I think that’s continued to help our market grow, where

other areas of the province have seen increases.”

Runge said the number of people moving to Kamloops from Vancouver has decreased, however, due to a slowing market on the Coast. Runge said Vancouverites are not leaving as quickly as they were a year or two years ago, when it was easier for them to cash in on equity.

Areas of the city that saw the most sales in May were Sahali, Brock and Aberdeen.

Asked to make projections for the remainder of the year, Runge said the market is unlikely to change until inventory increases, meaning more listings.

“We’ll have to keep a watch on that,” she said. “As soon as we see supply increasing, increasing, increasing, I think you definitely start to see pressure on prices to go down, but no sign of any great changes there.”

April showers bring May hammers.

The city is reporting a “big month” in building permits issued and construction values, following the release of its most recent monthly building stats.

City of Kamloops building and engineering development manager Jason Dixon said the city is on pace with last year, which was a record-setting year for construction values.

“It was a big month,” Dixon said.

In May, the city issued 191 building permits totalling $33.3

million, up from last May’s 180 permits worth $17.8 million but on pace overall to date at 583 permits worth $97.6 million compared to 676 permits worth $94.9 million in 2018.

Residential construction was up in May, with $21.5 million worth of building permits issued compared to last May’s $10.5 million.

Dixon said two apartment projects totalling nearly $8 million — a 21-unit building on Commazzetto Road in Valleyview and a 31-unit building on Singh Street in North Kamloops — drove the numbers.

“Together, that’s 52 units and

$7.8 million,” he said.

On the commercial side, a permit for Marshalls in Aberdeen Mall came in at $4.9 million, representing more than half of the total commercial permit value, which was $9.7 million in May. Additionally that month, a permit for commercial business space on Dallas Drive was worth $2 million.

Asked how the city is looking overall in 2019, Dixon would not go so far as to predict another record-setting year for building permit values, but expects more big months ahead.

“Things look good for this year,” he said.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

G

City man recalls D-Day experience as world marks 75th anniversary

ilbert Young could not have known what he was in for when he signed up to fight for Canada in the Second World War. Sitting in his North Shore apartment, the 95-year-old is visibly proud of his experience — raising his arms when talking about receiving fire, holding an imaginary rifle when returning it.

The only gaps in the action are when he pauses to catch his thought. Then the small living room transforms back into Normandy.

But he does not talk about it often. Not with family or friends.

“Not really,” he said, quickly returning to his tale.

“So we lost a sergeant … ” Young was 20 when he was among the first Allied troops to arrive on D-Day on the shores of Normandy on June 6, 1944 — 75 years ago on Thursday.

Toiling in a mine in Ontario, Young joined the military after a recruiter visited his work. He volunteered to be a paratrooper at basic training but didn’t take his first jump until months later in England.

It was from a balloon. So were jumps two, three, four and five.

“We were training all the time until D-Day,” he told KTW. “When D-Day came along, it was all ready to go. There were so many of us.”

Just after midnight on D-Day, 24,000 Canadian, British and American troops descended from the sky on Nazi-controlled Normandy, France.

Young was one of the first.

“We were the first to jump,” he said.

“It’s not that I wanted to be, but I was one of the first ones. The others came after us. You could see them coming down, the silhouettes, when we landed. When it was dark you could look back and look up and see the silhouettes.”

Young’s first job on dry land was far from glamorous and it quickly got worse. First, he was tasked by a superior to cut a barbed wire fence.

When he finished, he was told to lay on his stomach to help the

other paratroopers proceed.

“Everybody stepped on my back and went across,” he said, beaming.

“Then I followed the rest.”

Not long after landfall, Young and his fellow soldiers took fire.

“All hell broke loose,” he said.

“They were shooting at us. It was still dark. Tracers were flying all over the place. Then we fell back and the day was coming.

You could tell when the day was coming.”

Daybreak on D-Day was far from the end for Young.

In the weeks that followed, there were more firefights, seized prisoners and a desparate leap into a trench that resulted in an edge of barbed wire cutting off his pants and leaving a lasting scar.

Young said he saw members of his company killed, including a number of friends and superior officers.

He was also nearly taken down by enemy fire.

“I got hit right here,” Young said, gesturing to his left shoulder, then to the top of his head.

“And right through my hat.

Legacy of Canada’s role in D-Day still lingers LEE BERTHIAUME

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — When he jumped out of his landing craft into knee-deep water off the coast of Normandy on June 6, 1944, Jack Commerford wasn’t contemplating the role he was about to play in what would become one of the most pivotal events in history.

The 20-year-old from Newfoundland and Labrador, who had joined the army three years earlier to shoot down German bombers, was too busy doing his job — and trying to stay alive — during the long-awaited Allied assault to free Europe from the Nazis. “I was just thinking of my duties at the moment,’’ recalls Commerford, now 95. “Go where I was sent and do what I was told, that was primarily what I was interested in. I’m not sure how much I thought of the overall war.’’ The invasion of Normandy is widely considered one of the turning points in the Second World War, as the allies smashed through Hitler’s supposedly impregnable Atlantic Wall and began the westward march to Berlin to meet the Soviets coming from the east.

But in Canada, which had come into its own in the wake of Vimy Ridge and the First World War, D-Day and the conflagration that spawned it gave the country the chance to find its feet and establish its standing in the world. “D-Day makes us winners,’’ said retired major Michael Boire, an expert on Canadian military history at the Royal Military College of Canada. “It makes us winners in our own eyes. And that’s tremendously important.’’ That wasn’t always the plan.

At the start of the war in 1939, thenprime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, fearing another conscription crisis, wanted to keep his country from becoming too deeply involved. Conscription, introduced in 1917, nearly tore Canada apart during the First World War as many Canadians, particularly in Quebec, railed against being forced to fight in Europe.

Mackenzie King adopted a policy of “limited liability,’’ in which Canada’s main contributions were small contingents of troops to help defend England and the provision of food, equipment and training to assist the allies. “But the war doesn’t go the way anybody expects,’’ said author and historian Jack Granatstein, former head of the Canadian War Museum. “The Germans in 1940 sweep everything away and all of a sudden Canada is Britain’s major ally. From being a limited liability participant, suddenly we are the major ally of Great Britain. And so all the stops are pulled on the war effort in Canada.’’ That included retooling Canada’s fledgling industrial base to start mass producing weapons, aircraft, warships and tanks,

which in turn laid the groundwork for the future innovation and economic prosperity that Canadians know today. “We go from being a poor country in a very real sense to being a rich country at the same time as we’re fighting the war,’’ said Granatstein, who noted Canada’s gross domestic product doubled between 1939 and 1945.

In 1931, Canadians became masters of their own affairs with the Statute of Westminster, a British law that effectively made Canada a sovereign nation.

With D-Day and the war, the country was soon basking in a newfound self-confidence matched only by its desire for peace.

That manifested itself in Canada’s role as a founder of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, established primarily to check Soviet aggression in Russia, and its strong support for international institutions such as the United Nations to push for a rules-based international order. “It was clear Canada had entered the international scene, it was a player at the table,’’ Boire said. “And Canadian public opinion is all about getting involved in every single international organization that’s around and ... participating in the avoidance of war.’’ Sitting at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre in Ottawa, with his military medals pinned proudly to his chest, Commerford echoes that assessment. “It shaped Canada into being a wonderful, peace-loving country,’’ he said. “I see Canada and its leaders as continually doing things that will encourage or help maintain peace, not only in Canada but also elsewhere. And I think D-Day and the Second World War contributed to that strong desire for peace.’’ Canada started the war with a regular army of 4,200.

Eventually, around 1.1 million Canadians would serve in uniform. They were everywhere, be it bombing German cities, escorting naval convoys across the Atlantic or fighting house to house in Italy.

But D-Day was the big one, the attack everyone had been waiting for. And while two of the Normandy landing beaches were assigned to the Americans and two to the British, the fifth — an eight-kilometre stretch code-named Juno — was all Canadian.

Years of preparation and training following the hard lessons of Dieppe — the disastrous raid two years earlier in which 900 Canadians were killed and nearly 2,000 captured — were put to the test when the first landing craft hit the beach at 7:45 a.m.

The casualties in that initial wave were heavy as the Canadians advanced into a maelstrom of German fire; by the end of the day, 340 would be killed — more than twice the number who died during Canada’s entire 13-year war in Afghanistan.

Canadian troops head to Juno Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

D-Day raids resulted in 340 Canadian deaths and another 574 injuries, but ultimately led to the end of the Second World War.

Clearwater mayor says decision to shutter sawmill will deliver economic blow to North Thompson DERRICK PENNER

VANCOUVER SUN

FREE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN

Canfor Corp. will close its sawmill in Vavenby, eliminating about 170 jobs, and sell its timber rights to Interfor Corp. for $60 million, the companies announced late Monday.

It’s the second major shutdown announced in the past month from an industry facing shrinking timber supplies due to the mountain pine beetle infestation, forest fires and poor market conditions that are compounding losses.

“Due to the current and long-term log supply constraints we face in the Vavenby region, along with the high cost of fibre, we have made the very difficult decision to permanently close the sawmill and sell the associated forest tenure,” Canfor CEO Don Kayne said in a news release.

“Today’s decision is not a reflection on our employees, our contractors or the local communities of Vavenby and Clearwater.”

The closure will deliver an economic blow to the entire North Thompson region, according to Clearwater’s mayor.

Vavenby is about a 20-minute drive east of Clearwater and Wells Gray Park in the Interior, but Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell said it’s in his district’s tax base, so his community will take a tax hit in addition to the loss of jobs and spinoff industries.

Tourism has become a bigger part of the region’s livelihood, Blackwell said, but forestry is still 40 per cent of the region’s economy and “the major industry that runs year-round.”

“Forestry is the meat and potatoes and gravy for the economy,” he said.

The decision, which came just after 6 p.m. on Monday, follows from Tolko

Forestry is the meat and “potatoes and gravy for the economy.”

— MERLIN BLACKWELL Clearwater mayor

Industries’ announcement May 10 that it would close a sawmill in Quesnel and cut a shift from its Kelowna sawmill operation, eliminating some 240 jobs.

They’re closures that aren’t unexpected, according to industry analysts that estimate as many as a dozen Interior mills will need to close over the next decade to cope with shrinking timber harvests as forests recover from the mountain pine beetle infestation.

Interfor, however, said it will direct the timber from cutting rights it’s buying from Canfor to support its state-of-theart Adams Lake sawmill, which employs 235 workers and supports an additional 250 jobs in logging.

“This transaction materially enhances Adams Lake’s log supply and sets the stage for its future success in much the same way the investments made (in the mill) 10 years ago set the stage for its success over the last decade,” said Interfor CEO Duncan Davies in a news release.

In 2009, Interfor spent $140 million modernizing the Adams Lake mill, which is close to a two-hour drive northeast of Kamloops, and an additional $40 million since then.

Canfor, in the news release, said the Vavenby mill, which will close in July after “an orderly wind down,” produced 250 million board feet of lumber per year.

After the closure, the company will have 12 sawmills in Canada with a capacity to mill approximately 3.55 billion board feet of lumber.

Horgan promises action following MMIW final report CANADIAN PRESS

Premier John Horgan said survivors and their families showed courage and leadership in sharing experiences that form the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

A statement issued by the premier’s office said the final report highlights the “gendered impacts of colonial violence” that have been so severe the inquiry defined them as a “Canadian genocide.”

Horgan said the B.C. government is committed to learning from the stories, taking action and enacting change, adding that the report and its recommendations will be reviewed in detail.

They will also be considered in context with the New Democrat government’s work to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

According to B.C.’s submission to the inquiry in December, more than 100 Indigenous women and girls had been murdered or gone missing in the province.

Horgan said identifying issues linked to the much higher violence rate against Indigenous women is key and vital to the government’s work toward true reconciliation.

“We are committed to developing a path forward to end violence against Indigenous women and girls that will be directly informed by survivors, family members and communities,” Horgan said in the statement.

“Community-based engagement to collaborate on taking concrete steps together will soon begin and will continue through the summer and early fall.”

In its submission to the inquiry, the provincial government also said 580 Indigenous children died between 1867 and 1984 in the 22 residential schools in B.C., and thousands more youngsters were taken from their homes and raised in non-Indigenous households during the ‘60s Scoop.

Surrey municipal force would cost more CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY, B.C. — A report says a local police department in Surrey, B.C., would cost almost 11 per cent

The report estimates a municipal department in Surrey would cost $192.5 million, compared with the estimated cost of the RCMP in

three years of $173.6 million.

Mayor Doug McCallum promised to drop the RCMP and bring in a municipal force during last fall’s campaign.

Trudeau accepts inquiry’s finding of genocide AMY SMART

CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday he accepts the finding that Canada’s treatment of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls amounts to genocide.

Debate has erupted over the definition of the term after the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls repeatedly used it in its final report released Monday.

But people are wrapped up in the use of the powerful word, when the focus should be on how to put an end to the issues raised

by the inquiry, Trudeau said.

“Our focus is going to be, as it must be, on the families, on the communities that have suffered such loss.’’

Trudeau said the tragedy of not treating cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women as a priority has to end.

“Our focus is on bringing together people to solve this challenge and that is what we will remain focused on.’’

The impact on these families is indescribable, he said.

“We cannot pretend to be a country that cares about human rights, that has a positive impact on the world, if we do not end

this situation once and for all,’’ Trudeau said.

The prime minister made the remarks after announcing a $1.4-billion annual investment to advance the health and rights of women around the world starting in 2023. He was speaking at the Women Deliver 2019 conference on gender equality.

The national inquiry issued a statement saying Trudeau’s remark Tuesday was “an important moment’’ in the truth and reconciliation journey.

“The acceptance of our findings of fact by the federal government, especially our finding of genocide, is an acceptance of

Alberta passes, proclaims bill to repeal carbon tax CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta’s consumer carbon tax is now officially gone.

Members of the legislature voted last night to pass the bill that repeals the tax, and it was signed into law by Lt.-Gov. Lois Mitchell.

The province stopped charging the tax last week, and the federal government announced it will soon replace the fee with its own carbon levy.

The provincial carbon tax was implemented by the former NDP

government, adding a surcharge to gasoline at the pumps and on fossilfuelled home heating.

United Conservative Premier Jason Kenney won the April election on a promise to kill it, saying the tax hasn’t helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions and took money out of the pockets of working families.

Kenney’s government will continue with a tax on large industrial greenhouse gas emitters, and has promised to challenge the constitutionality of the federal carbon tax in court if Ottawa imposes it.

the truths shared by families and survivors. They no longer need to convince others that genocide is a part of Canadian history,’’ the statement said.

Lorelei Williams said it was significant to her to hear Trudeau use the word genocide to describe what has happened to Indigenous women in Canada.

Her aunt Belinda Williams has been missing for more than 40 years and the DNA of her cousin Tanya Holyk was found on serial killer Robert Pickton’s farm.

“Our people have been saying this for so long,’’ she said.

But, she said, she hopes Canadians recognize the problem

is not a thing of the past.

“Women are still going missing and being murdered at a high rate,’’ Williams said.

Genocide was recognized as a crime under international law in the 1948 United Nations Convention on Genocide, which defined it as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.’’

Marion Buller, the inquiry’s chief commissioner, said Monday the tragedy in Canada is a direct result of a “persistent and deliberate pattern of systemic racial and gendered human- and Indigenous-rights violations.”

LONDON — Thousands of protesters greeted President Donald Trump’s U.K. visit with anger and British irony Tuesday, crowding London’s government district while the U.S. leader met Prime Minister Theresa May nearby.

Feminists, environmentalists, peace activists, trade unionists and others demonstrated against the lavish royal welcome being given to a president they see as a danger to the world, chanting “Say it loud, say it clear, Donald Trump’s not welcome here.”

“I’m very cross he’s here,” said guitar teacher Katie Greene, carrying a home-made sign reading “Keep your grabby hands off our national treasures” under a picture of one of Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis.

“I find him scary. My sign is flippant and doesn’t say the things I’d really like to say.”

A day of protests began with the flying of a giant blimp depicting the president as an angry orange baby, which rose from the grass of central London’s Parliament Square.

One group came dressed in the red cloaks and bonnets of characters from Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which is set in a dystopian, misogynist future America.

Demonstrators filled Trafalgar Square and spilled down Whitehall, a street lined with imposing government offices, before marching half a mile to Parliament.

Many paused to photograph a robotic likeness of Trump sitting on a golden toilet, cellphone in hand. The robot caught the attention of passers-by with its recitation of catchphrases including “No collusion” and “You are fake news.”

Police erected barricades to stop protesters marching past the gates of Downing St., though the shouts and chants could be heard as Trump met May for talks inside the prime minister’s official residence.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed the crowd, criticizing the “hatreds that are being fueled by the far-right in politics in Britain, in Europe and the United States.”

Corbyn declined an invitation to Monday’s banquet for the president at Buckingham Palace, but sought a meeting with Trump — which was refused.

“He wanted to meet today or tomorrow and I decided I would not do that,” said Trump, calling Corbyn “somewhat of a negative force.”

Labour confirmed that Corbyn had proposed a meeting.

Emily Thornberry, Labour’s foreign affairs spokeswoman, called Trump “a sexual predator” and a racist who did not deserve the honour of a state visit hosted by the queen.

Health a key part of high school cooking class SOUTH KAM SECONDARY STUDENTS LEARNING THE VALUE OF NUTRITION MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Maia Manshadi can recall her first foray into the art of cooking as a four year old — making her parents grated cheese with milk mixed together in a bowl.

“And my parents ate it with a smile plastered on their faces,” said the Grade 11 student from South Kamloops secondary.

These days she’s whipping up healthier eating options, having explored her love of cooking since Grade 8 in home economics classes with teacher Carmen Babin.

Last week, Babin tasked Manshadi and the rest of her senior students with creating a healthy version of a cookie — an exercise to teach her students about nutrition and how it can be incorporated into their meals.

“We need to be advocates for our health,” said Babin.

The challenge also expands students’ understanding of the science behind baking so they’re comfortable experimenting with different ingredients, Babin said.

The aroma of cookies and sounds of cook-

ery clanging together filled Room 206 at the school over the lunch hour on Friday as students prepared the final version of their recipes for a panel of judges.

Students had to revise a cookie recipe by lowering the fat and sugar and increasing the fibre content all while maintaining a flavourful snack.

Manshadi’s come a long way since she was four, putting together choco cherry cookies — cherries and chocolate with coconut, topped with a white chocolate drizzle on top.

“I used whole wheat flour and coconut as my base,” she told KTW. “Coconut is an excellent source of protein and whole wheat flour is an excellent source of fibre.

And then I put in some cherries.”

To make her recipe even healthier she substituted bananas for the eggs as they bind the ingredients together the same way — something she learned in class.

She said Babin’s cooking challenge is a great way to learn the importance of eating healthy.

Outrigger club gives new canoe an old blessing TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Wailua Outrigger Canoe Club has added a new boat to its collection, and according to outrigger tradition, that meant a blessing ceremony to prepare the vessel for use.

It’s a ceremony that might be unique for Kamloops, but it has a long history associated with the type of canoe in Hawaii and the Polynesian islands of the South Pacific.

“The original outriggers were sacred to the people who owned them,” said Paul Blackett, club founder and paddling coach. “They were treated as family members.”

Modern outrigger canoes are built with lightweight composites like carbon fibre, but they were originally carved from a single Koa tree. According to traditional Hawaiian beliefs, when the tree fell and died, it took on a new life.

Part of the blessing ceremony is to ask the tree for forgiveness in taking its life. The ceremony is also intended to bridge the gap from the tree’s life on land to its new life as part of the water.

Among those thanked in the ceremony are Aku, or God, Lono,

the demigod of fertility, and Kanaloa, the demigod of ke kai, or the sea.

The club’s new canoe — or wa’a, as it is traditionally known — was purchased with a donation from the Kamloops Blazers Sports Legacy Fund and was christened “Lokahi,” which translates to “unity.”

According to Blackett, once the ceremony is complete, the boat is considered the seventh paddler, after the six paddlers inside of it.

“It was given a great amount of respect because without it a family couldn’t survive,” he said. “There’s a lot of respect and lore that surrounds the boats.”

The ceremony was performed on May 23 on the South Thompson River beach at Riverside Park and was adapted somewhat from a traditional blessing. For example, pineapple was used as one of the offerings instead of the traditional breadfruit because the latter couldn’t be found in Kamloops.

On hand for the ceremony were members of the outrigger club, as well as donors.

The outrigger club has been in Kamloops under a number of names for 25 years, but has been operated as the Wailua Outrigger

PROPER LAWN CARE SAVE TIME, MONEY, AND WATER! Have a lawn you can feel good about!

MOW HIGH - Leaving grass 5–7.5 cm (2–3”) tall, shades the roots and helps

prevent evaporation. This allows grass to grow deeper, stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grasses height.

As mowing height decreases...

depth of rooting decreases...

and maintenance increases.

GRASSCYCLE - Leave grass clippings on the lawn while mowing. This eliminates bagging and raking and reduces watering and fertilizing.

Healthy home-ec helping students From A17

“Not only does it take care of our bodies, but when we eat healthy, it makes our mental capacity much better,” said Manshadi, who dreams of one day starting her own restaurant and even treated her family last December to a homecooked Christmas dinner.

Grade 10 students Danny Tarabay and Santiago Lopez

made banana coconut cookies, swapping sugar with honey to make them more nutritious.

“I thought cookies were just sugar, butter, cocoa and all that, but today I realized you can do so much more like add coconuts, oats — honey instead of sugar,” Tarabay said.

Lopez, an exchange student from Mexico, said this was his first home-economics class,

which opened his eyes to the possibilities of healthier eating habits.

Babin said she feels the need to prepare her students for living on their own by exposing them to the plethora of possibilities when it comes to cooking.

“If I’m missing something in the fridge I know what else I can use and it’s healthier, as well,” Manshadi said.

WATER EFFECTIVELY- Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1–2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1”) of water. Along with mowing high, this produces deeper, stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods.

Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn • Dethatching–Aerating–Topdressing–Overseeding–Fertilizing • Consider mixing White Clover in with your lawn to out-compete weeds as well as reduce water and fertilizer needs.

• Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds; however, it does not control existing weeds.

CHARITY CALENDAR

Guru Nanak Fund wants help As it prepares to celebrate the 550th birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in November, the Sikh Cultural Society of Kamloops is collecting donations for Royal Inland Hospital via the Guru Nanak Fund that exists at the hospital.

The society is urging all Kamloopsians to donate to the Guru Nanak Fund, money from which is used to buy muchneeded items for the hospital. Donations can be made through the Sikh Cultural Society of Kamloops, which is located in the Sikh Temple at 700 Cambridge Cres. on the North Shore. Receipts will be issued to donors who contribute until November, when a cheque for the total amount raised will be presented to RIH officials.

The Guru Nanak Fund was established in 2003 by the Sikh Cultural Society of Kamloops. Since then, more than $165,000 has been raised to help RIH. Of that amount, $30,000 was collected by Tarsem Singh Gill and sons Sukhwinder Singh and Surinder Singh via the annual Indo-Can Golf Tournament.

The fund is named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the Sikh religion’s founder and first guru, who was born in 1469 in Nankanna Sahib, which is in modern-day Pakistan.

Guru Nanak spread a simple message: “We are all one, created by one creator of all creation.”

His message to humanity was to work hard, meditate in God’s name and give to the less fortunate. Guru Nanak believed in equality and held women and men in the same regard, insisting they should have equal rights.

ICCHA INCHING CLOSER WITH BIG CHEQUE: Eleventh annual ICCHA/Wish Fund Gala event organizer Amrita Ebata (second from left) joins ICCHA/Wish founder Al Patel, wife Bina Patel, Sherry Blanchard, Lucky Gill, Anil Parekh and Jyoti Parekh to present Royal Inland Hospital Foundation director of annual giving, Jenna Vanderburgh, a cheque for $179,000 on Tuesday at Pioneer Park. Joining in the giving are major donors to this year’s campaign to raise funds for new cardiac equipment and to move one step closer to reaching the ultimate goal of establishing a catheterization Lab in Kamloops.

FOR THE ANIMALS: Sean Fowler and Christina Fowler of Moose Lodge 1552 made a $1,000 donation to the BCSPCA’s Kamloops branch, received by representative Ya-Ting Chang.

High school student hopes business is abuzz BEE-THEMED COASTERS CREATED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF DECLINE MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

Kamloops high school student is buzzing about her business’s future, which aims to save the planet’s honey makers one drink at a time.

Grade 11 student Sofia Sirianni is selling customized drink coasters in an effort to spread the word about declining bee population in B.C. She started the business, dubbed Apiculture, with three fellow high school students, but is taking it forward on her own as the CEO and owner — a promotion from her former title as vice-president of marketing.

“I’m nervous, but I’m also really excited,” she said of branching off on her own. “I see a lot of potential for Apiculture and what it can do for the education of people in our community.”

The wooden coasters are on point — coated in beeswax to make them waterproof, cut in the shape of honeycomb and featuring designs of local

DAVE EAGLES/KTW South Kamloops secondary student Sofia Sirianni has designed bee-themed coasters to spread the word about the declining bee population.

flowers and bees.

To encourage people to do their part, wildflower seeds are included in every pack of four.

A dollar from every sale of the coasters goes to the Shuswap Master Gardener Association — a collection of volunteers who seek to educate the public with environmentally responsible gardening advice.

“They have education programs for people on how to plant your flowers and where and what would be best for the bees,” said Sirianni.

Sirianni is working on a mobile app to educate customers about the importance of

bees and their role in the ecosystem.

“It’s an idea that’s still in the works,” she said.

Once the app is ready, Sirianni envisions customers being able to scan a QR code on their purchase that will lead them to the app where they can learn about bees and the issues they face — such as climate change and pesticide use.

Add ons to her product in the form of the seeds and app are easy ways to get people engaged with the issue, Sirianni said.

Over the summer, she plans to stockpile 100 packs to prepare for a trade show in the fall.

Sirianni plans to contact local wineries to see if they’d be interested in hosting the product, and explore the option of doing custom orders for companies with their logo.

The coasters are created using a laser cutter at Kamloops Makerspace, then sanded, coated in beeswax and packaged.

Currently they’re available at Moustache and Go restaurant on Tranquille Road and home goods store Far and Wide, located downtown.

“I’ve always wondered what it would be like to own my own company,” Sirianni said.

Together, they sought to address an issue relevant to Kamloops, landing on the issue of diminishing bee populations given Kamloops’ designation as a bee city with Bee City Canada in 2017.

Sirianni said she hopes her customers realize they’re buying more than just a drink coaster.

FBI talking to users of defunct crypto exchange Auto sales MICHAEL MACDONALD

CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — The FBI has stepped up its investigation into the demise of Vancouverbased QuadrigaCX, which was one of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges before it was shut down amid a storm of controversy.

The victims services section of the FBI has posted a survey on its website asking potential victims to voluntarily disclose details about their account balances, transactions and other financial records linked to the $200-million fiasco.

“Based on the responses provided, you may be contacted by the FBI and asked to provide additional information,” the agency said Monday in an introduction to the online form.

The cryptocurrency industry, which trades in digital assets like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum, is not regulated or subject to industry oversight in Canada.

QuadrigaCX clients were scattered around the world.

The FBI survey asks for

user names, email confirmations for transactions, details about each user’s most recent transactions, deposit addresses, withdrawal requests and so-called hot wallet addresses.

A hot wallet refers to cryptocurrencies that are stored on a computer server connected to the internet, which makes for easy transfers and trading.

However, most digital assets are typically stored in cold wallets, kept on USB flash drives or laptops that are kept offline to prevent hacking.

In early March, the accounting firm Ernst and Young said several of QuadrigaCX’s cold wallets had been found, but all of them were empty.

As well, the accounting firm said it had determined QuadrigaCX’s lone director — 30-year-old Gerald Cotten of Fall River, N.S. — was mixing his personal and corporate finances, and that 14 user accounts had been created with aliases to draw from deposits that “may have been artificially created.”

The FBI said it is legally bound to identify victims of the federal crimes that it investigates and provide them with information and assistance.

The American investigation includes resources from the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the computer crime section of the federal Justice Department.

The QuadrigaCX trading platform stopped operating Jan. 28, more than a month after Cotten died suddenly while travelling in Jaipur, India. His widow, Jennifer Robertson, has said Cotten died from complications linked to Crohn’s disease.

Soon after Cotten’s death was announced, Robertson produced an affidavit in Nova Scotia Supreme Court saying her late husband was the only QuadrigaCX employee who knew the encrypted pass codes needed to get at $190 million in cryptocurrency.

At the time, she said about 115,000 QuadrigaCX users were also owed $70 million in cash, much of which was

tied up in bank drafts and accounts held by several third-party payment processors.

As of April, QuadrigaCX and its associated companies owed creditors $215.7 million, according to Ernst and Young, which is now overseeing bankruptcy proceedings.

The accounting firm confirmed in a report last month it had recovered only $28 million in assets — virtually all of it in cash.

As well, Ernst and Young said it might not be possible to complete a full review of QuadrigaCX’s finances, mainly because of the company’s poor bookkeeping and lack of co-operation from its business partners.

The firm has said it is making progress in retrieving funds from QuadrigaCX’s payment processors and other exchanges, and it plans to file an investigation report within the next two months.

A total of 76,319 unsecured creditors — virtually all of them QuadrigaCX clients — have come forward to claim they are owed $214.6 million.

decline continues downward trend, down 5.9%in May CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. said light vehicle sales fell an estimated 5.9 per cent in May from a year earlier as a downward trend in Canadian auto sales continued.

The automotive consultant said light vehicle sales totalled about 202,800 for the month, down from 215,407 a year earlier.

The dip in May marked the 15th consecutive month of sales declines when compared with the previous year.

A consumer shift away from passenger cars towards generally higher-emission SUVs and pickup truck options continued in May, with car sales down 17.4 per cent for the month while light truck sales declined only 0.4 per cent.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles saw sales drop 25.4 per cent from a year earlier for the biggest drop in sales. The dip comes as FCA is in talks on a merger with French producer Renault.

DesRosiers said General Motors, which switched to quarterly reporting in April, saw sales drop an estimated 12.5 per cent, while Honda was down 4.9 per cent and Ford slipped 1.6 per cent. Toyota, the third-biggest seller in Canada, saw sales climb nine per cent.

Are There Alternatives to Stocks & Bonds?

Over 20 years ago, foundations, endowments and pension plans could allocate 100% to bonds because interest rates were over 7.25% and they could meet their short and long-term objectives. Currently, a 10-year government bond only yields 1.55% making it a challenge for institutions, as well as, retirees! To overcome this, their portfolios need more money or different strategies.

Such institutions have invested in "Alternatives" to improve the quality of their returns and enhance their diversification.

Alternatives (Alts) can generally be broken down into three categories: 1) Private Equity & Debt: direct ownership of or lending to companies 2) Real Assets: stable businesses in Real Estate, Infrastructure or Resources 3) Hedge Funds: employ advanced strategies like: options, futures, leverage, stop-losses, shorting, etc.

In technical speak; they desire uncorrelated and superior risk-adjusted returns. According to their website, The Canada Pension Plan has drastically changed since

1997 when it was 100% bonds. In order to ensure long term sustainability, today it sits at 11% bonds, 39% equity and 50% Alts.

In the United States, most college and university endowments voluntarily reported to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). In 2017, over 800 members which include notables like Harvard, Yale, Princeton reported the following average asset allocation: 4% Cash 8% Fixed Income 16% US Stocks 19% Foreign Stocks 53% Alts The Alternative Universe is a challenge to navigate because they are less regulated, less transparent and difficult to make comparisons. Many strategies have higher minimums and redemption periods of 3-12 months. Furthermore, Alts can only be purchased by a licensed Portfolio Manager or an accredited investor which requires a minimum level of: income, investable assets or net worth.

We focus mostly on Private Debt & Equity because their prices tend to remain stable and they can provide steady income of 5 ~ 8% paid monthly. Like virtually all investments, Alts are not 100% guaranteed, some Alts can be risky and are not suitable for all investors. Since the 2008 financial crisis, many banks have stricter guidelines. As such, businesses look to finance loans or mortgages from

non-banks and in return provide collateral and/or personal guarantees. Among the most important criteria to the borrower is speed of execution and certainty that the deal will be approved. The lenders typically look at the 5Cs of credit: Character, Capital, Capacity, Collateral and Conditions.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to make a loan but hard to collect! If a deal goes into default it may be resolved quickly or it could deteriorate and require enforcement which can lead to impairment (loss). Between 1998-2015, Russell concluded the Private Debt asset class loss rate was -0.7% versus -2.8% for High Yield Bonds. This difference was likely due to enhanced security, covenants, control of the recovery process and an information advantage. Private Lenders typically have boots on the ground and a deep understanding of the borrower's financial situation, demographics, economics, real estate laws, governments, etc.

We feel investors should take a hard look at their portfolio mix now as we believe we are in the late stages of the business cycle. In addition, we recommend that investors work with an experienced Portfolio Manager to help build a more diversified and resilient portfolio for today’s world.

Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

WITH AGE COMES

EXPERIENCE Important home security tips for seniors Seniors are often targeted by criminals. Though many criminals target seniors from afar via telephone or internet scams, criminals seek to enter seniors’ homes. The Bureau of Justice Statistics offers that, between 2003 and 2013, the ratio of property crime to violent crime was higher for the elderly and persons between the ages of 50 and 64 than it was for younger persons between the ages of 25 and 49.

Home security is important for people of all ages, but especially so for seniors and aging individuals living alone. By following certain safety tips and developing a home security plan, seniors can feel safer at home.

• Lock windows and doors. It may seem like common sense, but failure to repeatedly lock windows and doors can, and often does, give burglars easy entry into the home.

• Think about a smart doorbell.

Technology now enables doorbells to provide a video feed to a person’s smartphone or tablet over WiFi. This allows residents to see who is at the door and speak to this person without having to open the door.

Products like Ring register motion activity and record short videos from outside of the house.

• Don’t share or leave keys.

Avoid leaving keys under a mat or in a flower pot. Others may be

watching your actions and gain access to your home while you are away.

• Ask for ID. When service people or other individuals come to the door, verify their credentials by asking to see identification.

• Get a home security system.

The best protection against burglars is a home security alarm, states HomeSecurityResource.org.

Such an alarm often deters burglars from breaking in.

• Install a lockable mailbox.

Locked mailboxes restrict access to sensitive information, such as bank account numbers, sent in the mail. Make sure retirement cheques or other payments are deposited directly into bank accounts instead of having them sent by cheque.

• Use home automation. Home automation, or a “smart home,” can be utilized to turn on lights, set the thermostat, lock doors and much more.

• Adopt a dog. Dogs can be an asset to seniors. Dogs provide companionship and can bark or alert seniors if someone is around or inside of the home.

Home security is serious business for seniors who are vulnerable to criminals.

Health screenings men should discuss with their doctors Routine doctor visits are a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. As noted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, even men who feel healthy and live active lifestyles must make routine visits to their healthcare providers.

Such visits can assess risk for future medical problems and offer men the opportunity to update vaccinations. Routine health checkups also give doctors a chance to screen for medical issues.

Doctors consider a man’s age and other risk factors to determine when and how frequently he will need certain medical screenings.

For example, while men between the ages of 40 and 64 are often advised to get blood pressure screenings at least once per year, those with diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems and other conditions may need more frequent screenings.

No two men have the same medical histories, which only highlights the need for men of all ages to

schedule annual physical exams with their physicians. Such exams can reveal potential problems and make for great opportunities to discuss more specific medical screenings. The following are some general screening tests and guidelines recommended for men between the ages of 40 and 64, courtesy of the USNLM. Prostate cancer The USNLM notes most men age 50 or older should discuss screening for prostate cancer with their physicians. Ethnicity and family history are some of the recognized risk factors for prostate cancer. As a result, African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer in a firstdegree relative younger than 65 should discuss screenings beginning at age 45. There are pros and cons to prostate cancer screenings and these should be part of men’s discussions with their physicians.

Colorectal cancer All men between the ages of 50 and 75 should be screened for colorectal cancer. Physicians may recommend colorectal screening for men younger than age 50 with a family history of colon cancer or polyps. In addition, physicians may consider screenings for men younger than 50 who have a history of inflammatory bowel disease.

Cholesterol The USNLM advises men to have their cholesterol levels checked every five years.

Men with certain conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, may need to be checked more often.

Diabetes Diabetes screenings are recommended every three years for men age 45 and older. Men who are overweight and younger than 45 should ask their physicians if they should be screened before they reach 45.

Osteoporosis Women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men, but that doesn’t mean men are immune to this condition marked by a weakening

of the bones due to tissue loss.

Fractures after age 50, heavy alcohol use, smoking, and low body weight are some risk factors that can make men vulnerable to osteoporosis.

Health screenings can catch diseases and other conditions in their early stages when they’re most treatable. Such screenings should be a vital part of men’s health routines.

EXPERIENCE Tips for losing weight after menopause Menopause is a time of change in a woman’s life.

Much as the start of menstruation is accompanied by great fluctuations in hormones that can cause different symptoms, so, too, is the end of menstruation.

During menopause, many women experience weight gain and have trouble shedding pounds. Researchers are not quite sure why women gain weight during menopause. However, the health and wellness site Healthline advises that both elevated and low levels of estrogen can lead to increased fat storage. This is compounded by a loss of muscle mass that occurs due to age, hormonal changes and decreased physical activity.

According to JoAnn Pinkerton, MD, executive director of the North American Menopause Society, most women will gain about five pounds during the menopause transition.

Women who do not gain weight may notice that fat is

being repositioned around their midsections. Other factors also may contribute to this weight gain.

Losing weight during the menopause transition can be challenging, but it is not impossible.

• Cut down on calories.

Post-menopausal women can cut back on calories because they likely do not need as much as they did when they were younger. Eating may be out of habit, not necessity.

• Increase exercise. While mature women may not have the endurance of younger women, they can make up for it by scheduling shorter, more frequent exercise sessions.

The general recommendation is 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise most days per week. But this can be split up into different sessions per day. Incorporate resistance training to help combat muscle mass lost from aging.

The more muscle one has, the more calories burned, even at rest.

• Cut out sweetened beverages and desserts. Cutting back on sugary items can trigger weight loss. Researcher Bethany Barone Gibbs, Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, noted that participants in a school-sponsored weightloss study who were able to decrease their consumption of desserts and sugarsweetened beverages tended to have more success losing weight and keeping it off than those who did not.

• Talk about medications.

Speak with a doctor about medications, some of which can contribute to weight gain.

Many women are prescribed antidepressants in midlife to combat, among other things, symptoms of menopause.

Side effects of such medications can include weight gain.

Women gaining weight during menopause can discuss their concerns with their doctors, trainers and dieticians and work toward healthy goals for postmenopausal weight loss.

Plenty of things to see and do close to home TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

I still consider myself a Kamloops newbie.

I’ve been here five years now, which has certainly been enough time for me to think of Kamloops as my home. But there’s still plenty about my home that I don’t know.

That’s why my invitation to ride on the Tourism Kamloops Luv’n The Loops bus was so exciting. It was hopefully going to give me an opportunity to experience some things in and around the city that would be completely new to me.

So what’s Luv’n The Loops?

It’s an idea developed by Kamloops Tourism with the goal of encouraging locals to become ambassadors for the city.

Each month, about 35 Kamloops residents are invited to participate in a tour of a handful of local destinations. You won’t know what they’re going to be before you get there, but that’s part of the fun.

I arrived for the tour on April 25 not sure what to expect and was greeted by a check-in table manned by Tourism Kamloops staff. Participants

mingled, getting to know each other, until it was time to head down the red carpet to board the bus at 1 p.m.

Tara Holmes (of both Kamloops This Week and Holmes is Where The Heart Is) played host to this tour from the moment we boarded until we were done three hours later, keeping the energy up and giving away tons of prizes.

Our first destination, hosted by Glen Morris of Tailgate Tours, was a short hike off of Lac Du Bois Road, overlooking Brocklehurst. The view was spectacular, and it made for a strong reminder of just how many hiking spots there are in Kamloops.

After a break overtop of Brock, we hiked back to the bus and loaded up for the next stop, which turned out to be newly opened Moustache and Go, the take-out focused expansion of Red Beard Cafe.

After the hike, the Moustache and Go stop gave us all a chance to rest up, get some food into us, and, once again, chat with the other locals on the bus. When the second stop was complete, we were back on board for our final experience, an opportunity to try fly-fishing thanks to Interior Fly Fishing.

Though there were no hooks — or even water — involved, we stopped at Overlander Park to

spend one, and I’d recommend it to anyone interested in spending some time exploring the nooks and crannies of the place you call home.

FROM CARIBBEAN, TO CANADA, TO CFL

RECEIVER COTTOY AIMING TO STICK WITH LIONS

ranks in 2016, but a knee injury (torn ACL and MCL) and two surgeries put his career on ice.

Family and friends helped convince Cottoy to give the game one more chance.

When Blokker took a job with the Langley Rams of the B.C. Football Conference, the receiver left his dad in Calgary and moved to the Fraser Valley.

“I came over here to Canada, enjoyed it and my dad, at the time, was with my ex-step mom and we were living together,” Cottoy said. “My dad got divorced. It was just me and my dad for a couple years.

That kind of helped me grow as a man.

The second half of my life prepared me for football.”

Cottoy had an otherworldly post-season to cap an incredible 2018 campaign that saw Langley reach the CJFL final, in which the perennial powerhouse Saskatoon Hilltops culled the Rams 58-21.

Receiving numbers from four playoff games — 25 receptions for 645 yards and eight touchdowns — were augmented by three rushing touchdowns.

And did we mention he punts?

Cottoy led the BCFC in punting in the 2018 playoffs, hoofing it 18 times for 664 yards, an average of 36.9 yards per kick.

The Lions in December signed the 22-year-old, 6-foot-5, 230-pound receiver to a two-year contract.

“He has it all — size, speed, athletics, high football IQ — but the thing that separates Jevon from a lot of guys is his work ethic and his commitment to his craft,” said Howie Zaron, who coached the Rams last season.

“I thought last year when he first came out to junior that he would make the Lions. I’m not sure the B.C. Lions thought that. They were unaware of what Jevon could do.

“I think now the Lions have gone from, ‘Hey, listen, let’s develop this young Canadian kid,’ to, ‘Hey, this young Canadian kid is going to step in and contribute right away.’”

The Rams moved Cottoy around last year, using him at wide receiver, in the slot, at running back, in wildcat formations and, yes, at punter.

alerie Lavia is wearing Jevon Cottoy’s jersey in her WhatsApp profile picture.

That’s her son, who plays for the B.C. Lions — and she’s damn proud of him.

Cottoy, a native of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, moved to Canada about 12 years ago to live with his father, Elroy, in Calgary, a gut-wrenching decision made after about a year’s worth of discussion with Valerie.

“I didn’t really have much growing up,” said Cottoy, who spoke to KTW last week after a training camp session at Hillside Stadium.

“Some would say I came from nothing, but I don’t really look at it that way. I come from a hard-working family.

“I was hesitant, but I hadn’t seen my dad in like nine years. I was so anxious to just see him. I didn’t really have that father figure in my life.

“My mom is still in the Caribbean with my little sister (Brianna). I’m trying really hard to work as much as I can to help her and provide a better life for her.”

Lions’ star receiver Bryan Burnham said the rookie is pushing toward cracking a spot on the active roster, inching his way into a starting position that would make him a ratio-breaking Canadian, but Cottoy is very much a work in progress.

“We worked with him in Surrey before camp and you could see he was a great athlete, but just a little bit raw, not necessarily a football player, but a great athlete,” Burnham said. “This past week, he’s come a long way, to the point where he is getting first-team reps and potentially going to be a starter on this football team.”

Cottoy didn’t know a thing about football (or what it feels like to be truly freezing) until he moved to Cow Town.

He picked up the pigskin at age 13 and caught on in a hurry, eventually landing with head coach Matt (Snoop) Blokker and the Calgary Colts of the Prairie Football Conference, which belongs to the Canadian Junior Football League.

The standout athlete was recruited to play for the Calgary Dinos in the U Sports

Orientation, evaluation and courtship at Blazers’ spring development camp MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

Mats Lindgren was among the most impressive players at Kamloops Blazers’ spring development camp on the weekend at Brock Arena. For more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dylan Garand and Ken Fox, the former a goaltender who turns 17 on Friday and the latter one of the Kamloops Blazers’ head scouts, had different views on the weekend at the WHL club’s spring development camp, but saw the same thing.

Mats Lindgren and Connor Levis grabbed their attention.

“There’s no doubt — our first round picks,” said Fox, the Blazers’ head scout for Saskatchewan. “Their skating, Lindgren’s skating, just unbelievable edges. And the big Levis boy, he’s a big, strong power forward.”

Added Garand: “With Mats, his hands are tremendous. He’s out there dangling guys and he’s got a good shot, too, especially for not being a huge, stocky guy.

With Levis, he’s fast and big and strong and he can really rip the puck. He scored on me a few times.”

Whether they sign with Kamloops remains to be seen.

Both Lindgren, picked sev-

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

enth overall at the WHL Bantam Draft in Red Deer in May, and Levis, nabbed 20th overall, are verbally committed to the NCAA Division-1 University of Michigan Wolverines.

“I’m still trying to decide,”

said Lindgren, a 5-foot-8, 140pound defenceman from North Vancouver. “I love Kamloops, the city, the organization. Everything has been really good so far. I’m really happy about it.”

Levis and Lindgren were both

complimentary of the Blazers without tipping their hands.

“Me and Mats, we played back in peewee, went to a Quebec international tournament and billeted together,” said Levis, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound forward

from Vancouver.

“It was lots of fun. When I found out he also got a scholarship from Michigan, I was really excited for him. I practise a lot with his dad, [former NHLer] Mats Lindgren. We’re great friends. We have talked a bit about our decisions. Right now, we are not 100 per cent sure on what we want to do, but definitely playing together would be lots of fun.”

The prospects’ camp, for 2003- and 2004-born players, was more about orientation than evaluation, with facilities flaunted and off-ice activities (a messy painting session at 4Cats Arts Studio was a highlight) held to expedite team bonding for the 22 who participated.

And make no mistake — it was also about courtship.

Majority owner Tom Gaglardi was in town and watching hockey was surely not the only thing on his agenda, with members of the Levis and Lindgren families among those looking on at Brock Arena.

Blank canvas Cottoy impressing Howell From A28

That dexterity is proving beneficial in Cottoy’s pursuit of a starting job with the Leos.

He has been used in the R slot position, which is a sort of hybrid of the slot, wide-receiver and tightend positions.

“Guys like that don’t grow on trees, with a catch radius that size and who run that well, but then are able to slide into the box and pick up a blitz. He has a unique skillset,” Lions’ receivers’ coach Markus Howell said.

“With a Canadian passport and that size and speed, we like the way he’s projecting. We want Canadians on the roster who can potentially start. Those guys are called ratiobreakers.”

Howell also smiled and nodded when told what Burnham said about Cottoy.

“Raw? Exactly. He’s a blank canvas,” Howell said. “Great kid. Pulls me aside. Doesn’t interrupt when you’re talking. Will show up to meetings with a gang of notes and a gang of questions.

“I’ve got to meet with him after this practise because there was a concept he’s not quite getting the grasp of. You want that kid on your squad.”

Howell, general manager Ed Hervey and head coach DeVone Claybrooks will be keeping an eye on Cottoy when the Lions play host

to the Calgary Stampeders at BC Place Stadium on Friday, with kickoff slated for 7 p.m.

“We wait until the lights come on,” Howell said. “The stakes are higher.”

The Caribbean Canadian, anxious to make an impression in his professional debut, dropped the first pass that came his way in the Lions’ pre-season opener against the hometown Edmonton Eskimos on May 26, but rebounded with three straight snags to lead the team with 45 receiving yards.

Word travelled quickly to mom in Prospect, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

“Me and her talk every other day,” Cottoy said. “Facetime, WhatsApp video … I’m always sending her pictures of my games.

“I’d love to move her here, but my mom always complains about how cold it is. I’m thinking this is the warmest place in Canada.

Hopefully, she changes her mind.”

Burnham is warming up to the idea of Cottoy becoming a permanent resident with the Lions’ starting offence.

“Just look at the guy,” Burnham said. “He’s a physical specimen. You don’t really see that a lot, whether American or Canadian. He definitely has a chance and he’s in the right mindset. He has a real shot at being a big part of our offence, but he’s still learning and there’s a long way to go.”

Big decisions to come From A29

Levis had 24 goals and 62 points in 26 games in 2018-2019 for St. George’s School’s bantam prep squad in 2018-2019. Gaglardi’s son, Bennett, was also on that team, which toils in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League.

“The players are incredible, the staff, the coaches … I really feel part of this organization,” said Levis, a right-shot centre.

“It’s really cool to be a Blazer.

“I have some time to think about my decision. I have two great ways to go, but the Blazers are definitely an amazing organization and a great place to play.”

Lindgren, a left shot, had four goals and 26 points in 27 games last season for Burnaby Winter Club bantam prep.

“I’ve got a big decision to make,” Lindgren said. “She [his mom] likes the weather, the arena.

Even the staff is very friendly to her when she’s in the stands. She

thinks it’s been really good.”

Fox was asked if he could provide insight on the Wolverinescommitted players’ futures with the Blazers.

“They’re close,” he said.

Added Blazers’ head B.C. scout Robbie Sandland: “It’s a priority. The biggest thing is we believe in our program and we are a very good option. We’re going to keep at it.”

Part-owner and former NHL star Darryl Sydor led the team of coaches who ran the

camp. He appears to be among candidates for the Blazers’ head coaching position, which became vacant when Serge Lajoie and the team parted ways in April.

“We are getting close, but we’re taking our time, double checking, triple checking, doing extra interviews with the individuals,” Blazers’ GM Matt Bardsley said when asked about the state of the hiring process.

“We want to make sure we feel really good about it when we walk away from it.”

It seems likely the next head coach, whoever that may be, will share perspective with Fox and Garand.

“Going forward, these guys look like they’re going to be good hockey players,” Fox said of Levis and Lindgren.

Added Garand: “When I first came here, I was blown away by not only the city but the organization and everyone around it. I hope they got the same impression and choose the WHL instead of NCAA.”

Christine Sinclair is the most prolific scorer ever in Canadian soccer and with 181 career goals she’s edging closer to former U.S. star Abby Wambach, who holds the international record — among men or women — with 184.

Sinclair has been the face of the Canadian women’s team for 19 years.

OAKLAND — The Golden State Warriors will be short-handed for Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on Tuesday forward Kevon Looney (costal cartilage fracture) will be out for the rest of the series after being hurt in Game 2, while star Kevin Durant (calf), who hasn’t played since May 8, will remain out.

Warriors’ star guard Klay Thompson, who left Game 2 in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury, is questionable.

“If there’s a risk, we’d rather give him the next couple days to continue to heal and, hopefully, have him out there for Game 4,’’ Kerr said. “It’s literally day to day.’’

Kerr said Durant will get on the floor at the team’s practice facility later on Tuesday.

“He’s out for tomorrow, but improving,’’ Kerr said.

Warriors’ forward Andre Iguodala, who played Game 2 and hit a three-pointer to seal it, will play Game 3 after suffering a leg injury in Game 1.

The best-of-seven series is tied at 1-1 after the Warriors’ 109-104 win over the Raptors on Sunday in Toronto.

Brian fondly remembers his childhood growing up in Squamish. During these years, he developed a passion for sports and the outdoors. After high school Brian went to Vancouver to learn his trade. Upon becoming an electrician, he worked mainly in the pulp mill industry, starting his career in Powell River. He later moved his young family to Kamloops to work at Weyerhaeuser. After his retirement from the pulp mill, Brian and Barb travelled extensively visiting other parts of BC, Canada and many countries around the world. He especially loved the bike and barge trips they did in Europe. Throughout his life, Brian was very active and enjoyed hiking, biking, slowpitch and tennis. It was not unheard of for him to bike from Westsyde to the tennis club to play a game or two and then bike home.

August 19, 1925 – May 27, 2019 Jane was born in 1925 in Abbotsford, and was raised in Matsqui with her parents Harold and Julia Aish and younger sister Joan. It was a berry farm; she remembers all the hard work of a farm and no brothers.

She went off to UBC and graduated with an Inorganic Chemistry degree in 1948, the year of the flood. Things changed with the flood.

Jane married Wallie Shamenski on June 25, 1948 in Greenwood. They went north. Jane worked as a chemist in a pulp mill in Prince Rupert and Wallie was an electrician building Alcan in Kitimat. They had two children, Ross and Robbin.

In 1960, the four of them moved to Abbotsford and built Ledgeview Golf Course, more hard work. It was sold in 1974 and as the children moved on, so did Wallie and Jane - to Penticton for retirement and a happy life of golfing.

After Wallie’s passing in 2001, Jane kept golfing and managing quite well in Penticton until 2016. That spring, she moved to Chartwell in Kamloops and enjoyed three years and many new friends.

Jane would like to say thank you to all the nurses, doctors, care aides and staff of 6-North at Royal Inland. She also says good-bye to her friends at Chartwell. Good bunch she says, staff and residents included.

At her request, no service.

In Loving Memory of Diane Lucille Freathy

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Diane Lucille Freathy (née Hallding) on Friday, May 24, 2019. Diane passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family and nurturing caretakers at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

Diane is survived by James Freathy, her beloved husband of 55 years and eternal soulmate, her sons Brad and Brock, daughters-in-law Bev and Josiane and most cherished grandchildren Hannah, Hailey, Liam, Felix and Juliette. Diane is predeceased by her father and mother Bill and Irene Hallding and survived by her sisters Sherin and Isabel and brother Rick and their families.

Upon leaving high school, Diane was employed by the Royal Bank for 20 years and her cherished friendships developed there remained with her throughout her life. In 1982, Diane announced to her family that she would be returning to school to pursue her life-long dream of becoming a registered nurse. After graduating from Cariboo College, Diane nursed at Royal Inland Hospital, Overlander Extended Care Hospital and also as a Community Nurse for Interior Health. By all accounts, Diane was a compassionate and caring person and she made many friends while thoroughly enjoying her nursing career.

Diane was very close to her school friends known as the 12th Street Tarantulas. We will forever cherish the close bond and the gatherings she

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Evelyn June “Cricket” Wallace May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your field.

Evelyn Wallace, lovingly known to her family and friends as “Cricket”, gracefully slipped away from us into a wonderful sunset on May 27, 2019 in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Mom was born on June 3, 1944 in Vancouver, BC to Elsie Penny and Harry Chernoff. She married Gary Wallace in October 1965. Out of that love were born Deborah Lee, Daniel Bruce and Dale Robert. Mom and Dad moved from the rainy Surrey suburbs to the desert hills of Barnhartvale in the summer of 1972.

Mom and Dad would go their separate ways in the late 70s and in the ensuing years, Mom packed us into her Toyota Corolla and moved us into the home of Ray Wallace on Nicola Street. The blended “Brady Bunch” family soon included William, Rosemarie, Stephen and Judy (and Falcon and Pumpkin). Mom would go on to own Flowers by Valleyview, Monte Creek Husky and spent several years working with Ray at Wallace Upholstery.

Cricket had many passions including Rotary and volunteering around Kamloops but it was her lifetime spent with the Girl Guides of Canada where she excelled, enjoying the company of her fellow Guiders and leading by example for generations of women in the Guiding movement. Starting in 1969 as a Brownie leader, Mom spent the next 40 years moving up the Guiding ladder to key leadership positions including Council Commissioner and Lead Trainer. She was an Honourary Member of Girl Guides of Canada and was granted a place in the Girl Guides of Canada’s Book of Honour for outstanding BC Guiders who exemplify the spirit of Guiding.

Mom loved to travel with Ray, spending time either cruising the Caribbean seas or jetting off to exotic lands including Bali, India and Australia. Mom loved to spend her summers at the family cabin on Little Shuswap Lake, entertaining friends and family, reading a good book on the deck or just feeding the chipmunks. Mom especially loved the Christmas season. We always looked forward to her baking

THE TIME IS NOW (Author Unknown)

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow.

Love me now While I am living.

Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now.

If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then.

So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Pat Comeau

(Rennie/Lacey)

To her family and friends, Cricket was full of fun and laughter, always bringing a warm smile with her kindness, thoughtfulness and gentle spirit. She was an exceptional woman whose spirit will live on in all the many people whose lives she touched.

Mom was predeceased by her mother Elsie, father Raymond Penny and stepson Stephen. She is survived by her daughter Deb (Zieg), son Dan (Dawn), son Dale (Carrie), her husband Raymond and his daughter Rosemarie (Grant), his daughter Judy (George), his son William, her grandchildren Lindsay, Ashley, Kristen, Jean-Yves, Scott, Robert, Matthew, Simon, Sarah, Jason, her seven great-grandchildren, her sister Marilyn (Bob), her sister Carol, her daughter-in-law Donna Wallace, lifelong friends Gary (Myrna) Wallace and Shirley (Fred) Parchoc and her many nieces and nephews. Mom was loved and respected by many in Kamloops and we will all miss her dearly.

The family would like to thank the caregivers and staff at Kamloops Seniors Village and the nursing staff at Hillside Centre, especially Deb, Kelly and Patty who cared for Mom with extraordinary compassion, dignity and respect. We will never forget your kind hearts.

In keeping with Mom’s wishes, her ashes will be spread at Adams and Little Shuswap Lakes later in the summer of 2019 with a gathering for friends and family to be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please give generously to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC to help find a cure for this cruel and unrelenting disease.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Schoening Funeral Service at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Veronica Schnell June 5, 1944 – May 31, 2019

On May 31, 2019 Veronica Schnell passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital.

Survived by her loving daughters Dana and Shelley (Rob); her grandchild Cassy, and three brothers Ed, Larry and Richard.

Predeceased by husband Reg, parents Frank and Toni and sister Rusty. Mom was a very active lady who loved to play golf, rain or shine, and curl in winter. She had a silly side and loved to joke around and make people laugh. She was one of the Blazers biggest fans. You were sure to find her at every game with a horn or a bell in hand cheering on her favourite team. Without her infectious laugh and her friendly-warm personality, she will be sorely missed by all.

Funeral Service will be held on Friday, June 7, 2019 at 1:00 pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel. Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery. Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer’s Society.

We won't say goodbye, but will say, until we meet again to our mother, sister and friend.

Mary’s passion was her family and her world rotated around their happiness.

Mom, Abuelita (BUA), Great-Gran we will miss you greatly but know you are in the loving arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
