STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A cash shortfall has led to the local chapter of the United Way reducing its offerings to the community and undertaking a course correction in terms of its finances.

“Essentially, over the past 10 years, our United Way has funded more money than we received, and that was largely due to pledge loss,” said Danalee Baker, executive director of the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo.

“We overestimated the money we could put out into the community, and this year was just a course correction,” she said.

That course correction has meant that this year, the nonprofit-supporting organization has given out $400,000 less than it normally would, which has had ripple effects in the community and brought about some tough decisions.

Along with having less to offer Kamloops non-profits, the changes also include budget trimming and a new space on the North Shore.

Baker said the toughest decisions were in how to spend the reduced funds.

“We removed any new programs and any new organizations because we wanted to be true to those people we had funded last year and who were expecting funds this year,” she said.

The rest, Baker said, were decided on a case-by-case basis, with priority given to organizations that dealt with vulnerable people where a lack of funding might be as drastic as loss of life.

“And then there are organizations that were small and couldn’t survive without some money — such as People in Motion or the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism. We made sure to give them something,” she said.

This year, the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism will

receive less than half of the $20,000 it received from United Way last year.

But the organization’s executive director, Wanda Carisse, said the funding gap is something United Way is trying to help them fill.

“We’ve been working this summer to try to find other grant avenues,” Carisse said.

“But there will be a future impact, in terms of the next couple of months.”

“We’re going to work really hard to make sure it doesn’t impact operations.”

Baker said that case-by-case decision-making even led to some organizations declining funding for the year, either because they opted to go without or because they were in an allor-nothing situation in which they would not be able to operate without all funds requested.

“It’s not all sunshine and roses, but everybody is committed to working together to support each

other to get through this,” Baker said, noting the problem stretches back about 10 years.

The organization’s financial records for the year ending March 31, 2018, state the cash shortage is “primarily a result of consistent cash deficits from 2013 to 2018, which stemmed from not factoring in the true pledge loss when determining allocations to community organizations from the annual campaign.”

Baker said the problem arose due to the complexity of the organization’s finances.

When she became executive director in 2015, she hired a finance director and made changes in how the organization was managing things.

“Now we forecast very conservatively and also take off a 15 percent allowance just to make sure we’re not spending too much,” she said.

HAZARDOUS WASTE ITEMS DON'T BELONG IN RECYCLING OR GARBAGE CONTAINERS

August 26, 2019 4:00 pm - Development and Sustainability Committee Executive Boardroom, 7 Victoria Street West

SAFELY DISPOSE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

August 27, 2019 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting 7:00 pm - Public Hearing Council Chambers, 7 Victoria Street West

Are you tossing batteries into your garbage or recycling containers? What about lighters or propane or butane canisters?

September 5, 2019 2:30 pm - Community Services Committee CANCELLED

Putting hazardous materials in residential garbage and recycling containers can have serious consequences. This is not just a Kamloops problem. This year, across BC, recycling collectors and processors have seen an increase in fires, and almost all of them have been caused by hazardous materials being disposed of improperly.

If so, you could potentially cause an explosion at local landfill or recovery facilities or in collection vehicles, which impacts the safety of collectors and processors.

September 9, 2019 4:00 pm - Community Relations Committee Corporate Boardroom, 7 Victoria Street West

We're working with Recycle BC to share important information about risks related to common hazardous materials—batteries, compressed gas containers such as propane canisters, and “sharps”—and why these items should be disposed of through specific disposal facilities, not in residential garbage or recycling containers.

New home, focus part of United Way’s road to stability From A3

As the new executive director, Baker said she began in a difficult position.

On top of ongoing pledge losses, additional revenue was lost due to business disruptions from the commodity crisis at the time.

“There were a lot of layoffs from the mines and subsidiary companies. We saw a lot of corporations restructuring,” she said.

Baker’s predecessor, Brenda Aynsley, was the United Way’s executive director for 11 years.

In the summer of 2015, she left to become the United Way of the Lower Mainland’s vice-president of resource development.

Aynsley told KTW annual audits showed the organization was in good financial shape.

“So, every year, every United Way, as part of our membership agreement with the United Way of Canada, we have an audit conducted,” Aynsley said.

“It’s an extensive audit process and we have that done every year. And, every year, our

financial position showed that we were in good standing. So, this narrative is not my experience.”

Aynsley said she does not know why or how the current fiscal situation emerged.

“I really can’t comment on what has happened in the past four years, but I am confident in the work of our auditors and that we were always in good financial standing,” she said.

“Pledge loss is something that you always have to take into consideration — and that is something that we have always done.”

Aynsley said financial records from her time as executive director did not show overallocation.

“United Way does tremendous work in the community ... and I just really hope that things can sort themselves out, but the financial records speak for themselves,” she said.

Baker said the local United Way collects donations via payroll deductions, so layoffs, retirements and even how vacation pay is given can have major

impacts on revenue.

“Retirement has been huge for pledge loss, especially when people retire mid-year,” she said.

Despite the shortfall, Baker is optimistic about the organization’s financial health.

“Going forward, it’s going to be back to the good news,” she said, noting that $200,000 of the $400,000 shortfall has already been made up thanks to help from the organization’s funding network, leaning on organizations like RBC, New Gold and grants available in the community.

The United Way is also relocating to its new home in Kamloops at The Station, 280 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops.

Baker said the move will not only save the organization money by downsizing its space — from 3,000 square feet to 1,000 square feet — but also bring about an opportunity to generate revenue by subleasing to TRU, consultants and nonprofits and by offering corporate and event rentals.

GET READY TO GO

Back to School!

The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) wants to install security cameras in the downtown core.

A request for proposals to identify options that will provide KCBIA member businesses “adequate video camera coverage” is open until Sept. 3, the association announced on Wednesday.

The KCBIA doesn’t know how many businesses will take part in the surveillance camera initiative, but all information provided by the successful bidder will be shared with its membership.

“On behalf of the membership, the KCBIA is seeking to identify organizations prepared to provide estimates for all equipment and labour required to install security camera systems,” stated a KCBIA press release.

The cameras are meant to enhance the safety of downtown businesses and prevent petty crimes like vandalism, stolen bikes, thefts from vehicles, and smash and grabs, said Dino Bernardo, KCBIA board president and co-owner of the Commodore Grand Cafe.

KCBIA executive director Carl DeSantis said the initiative should deter crime and give business owners a sense of comfort as recordings of untoward activity around their businesses can be passed along to the

RCMP, bylaw services or the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team to address issues.

“What we want to do is make sure that if there’s people who are doing bad things, whether it’s inappropriate or criminal, that there’s an opportunity to hold them accountable,” DeSantis said.

Any business, whether looking to add surveillance cameras or upgrade its existing equipment, is welcome to participate in the initiative, DeSantis said.

The KCBIA is asking bidders to address image quality.

DeSantis said the successful bidder would have the capacity to install cameras with a high image quality, capable of recording in various weather and lighting conditions.

The winning bidder will be asked to work with each participating business to address its needs. Businesses will decide whether to mount the cameras inside or on the outside of their building.

The KCBIA will not be paying for the cameras.

“Right now, we’re just trying to get a quote to figure out what these things are

going to cost and it will be up to the individual businesses as to where they want to put them,” Bernardo said.

The KCBIA plans to further discuss the issue at a fall board meeting scheduled for after the Sept. 3 request for proposals deadline.

There’s no timeline for implementation if the KCBIA decides to pursue one of the bids, DeSantis said.

“It’s wait and see. We’ll see what sort of response we have,” he said.

The idea to look at adding cameras came about in response to recent complaints from businesses regarding drug use along Seymour Street, DeSantis said, noting there have also been complaints of people defecating and urinating in alleyways.

Bernardo does not believe cameras will combat more serious crimes like the rash of robberies in the downtown core last winter, but thinks people will be less likely to commit a crime if they know cameras are in the area.

Kathy Sinclair is Kamloops council’s liasion to the KCBIA. “I think safety is primary right now,” she said. “I mean, it’s always important, but we’ve definitely seen a rash of crime throughout the city, so I think we need to be creative in how we deter those crimes.”

The KCBIA represents approximately 750 businesses and 350 commercial properties in Kamloops’ downtown core.

The RCMP met on Wednesday with ThompsonNicola Regional District directors, including Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, in areas along the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion route to discuss security issues, in light of protests expected during the construction project.

TNRD chair Ken Gillis said police briefed directors on what communities should expect.

“The RCMP just brought us up to date on the fact that they are making preparations,” Gillis told KTW. Asked what kinds of preparations have been made in anticipation of protests, Gillis said the RCMP has a “special force designated for that.”

“They’re not hanging around waiting for trouble,” he said. “But on the other hand, they are available to be called in if trouble should arise.’”

Also in attendance was Christian. He said Mounties talked about security issues related to the pipeline expansion project and the potential for disruption by protestors.

Asked if he voiced any concerns on behalf of the City of Kamloops, Christian said he voiced “a number of them.

“It’s a security issue, so I don’t think its going to serve the interests of the city well to talk about our security plans in the newspaper,” he said.

Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh had previously expressed to this newspaper concerns about protests. He pointed to protests in Burnaby and said that while Trans Mountain has committed to providing security, Kamloops RCMP would ultimately be responsible for maintaining order.

“The interesting thing there is, guess who pays for the policing?” Singh earlier told KTW.

“That’s going to be interesting. They’re starting to build potentially in the middle of spring or summer, right in the middle of extreme weather season, potentially. How are they going to staff up, all of the things they’re going to need around security, right?

Around the pipeline route.”

It was first meeting of this kind between police and TNRD directors.

No future meetings have been planned.

DO VOTERS CARE ABOUT SNC-LAVALIN?

F

or the second time during his first term as prime minister, Justin Trudeau has been found to have breached the country’s Conflict of Interest Act. Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion’s report, issued this week, found the prime minister violated the act by improperly pressuring former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. In 2017, then-ethics commissioner Mary Dawson’s report found Trudeau had violated the act when he and his family took a Christmas 2016 trip to the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas and accepted gifts from someone registered to lobby his office.

Serious rulings? Yes. Historic, as claimed by Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and others? No. Remember, the Conflict of Interest Act is relatively new, coming into effect in 2006. Only two prime ministers in the history of Canada have been subject to the act — Trudeau and former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper.

Prior to 2006, there were plenty of examples of prime ministers and other federal cabinet ministers in the spotlight for scandals that may have led to conflict of interest rulings as we have seen levelled against Trudeau. These include John A. Macdonald, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and, yes, even Harper — all of whom were involved in controversies that led to sanctions and/or accusations of impropriety.

But that does not diminish in any way the fact Trudeau has twice in this four-year term made some poor choices that speak to his political acumen — or lack thereof. And his bizarre response to the latest report — to accept responsibility, but maintain he did nothing wrong — may not endear him to voters who remain on the fence.

Will this matter to voters during the upcoming campaign? Will the SNCLavalin issue rise above issues like the cost of living, the climate change challenge, health care and the fate of various industries in pockets of the country, including forestry here in the B.C. Interior?

It may have an impact, but what impacts voters and their families between the four walls of their homes is always the most important issue.

New political landscape

I

n the Cathy McLeod era in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding — since she was elected in 2008 — the NDP has consistently garnered more than 30 per cent of the vote in the three elections, finishing a strong second each time.

On Oct. 21, we will see the NDP plummet at the polls, with the total votes and percentage of ballots falling hard.

That is what happens when the local candidate is unknown, then quits less than a month before the writ drops and the national polling has the Greens ready to surpass the NDP and jump into third place.

In the 2008, 2011 and 2015 federal elections, voters cast 181,331 ballots in this riding, with the NDP getting 34 per cent of those, an average of 20,500 per election. I’d wager the party will not get close to half as many in this election.

The question, then: Where do those votes go?

Some will go to the Liberals and some will go to the Greens.

Some will stay home. How many of each will go where is the key to predicting the outcome in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo.

The Liberals have a wellknown candidate in Terry Lake.

He is a former city councillor, mayor and MLA who held the high-profile health portfolio.

Lake will receive a lot of votes, though he will lose some of his B.C. Liberal support among the conservative element of the provincial free-enterprise coalition, who will likely go to McLeod.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Lake is also running in the shadow of the party’s greatestever showing in the riding.

In 2015, Steve Powrie received 21,000 votes while spending about one-quarter ($38,000) of what the Conservatives and New Democrats billed during that campaign.

Sure, Powrie rode the Justin Trudeau wave, but, contrary to many pundits, he was nowhere near an “unknown” entity.

Powrie’s prowess in the teaching game in Kamloops made him as well known — and as well respected — in the community as any candidate to run here this century.

Lake is a known commodity, has a strong team in place and will have the money to mount a strong campaign.

Whether the SNC-Lavalin controversy stains him remains to be seen, though I would suggest there are many more issues affecting voters in Kamloops and up the North Thompson Valley that take precedence over the political shenanigans in the

Prime Minister’s Office.

Green candidate Iain Currie will likely stage the strongestever campaign for that party in this riding and will shatter previous highs for votes received — though the target is not that daunting.

The Greens steadily lost support in the past three elections, with Donovan Cavers getting 4,400 votes (eight per cent of the vote) in 2008 and 2,800 votes (five per cent) in 2011, followed

by Matt Greenwood garnering 2,400 votes (four per cent) in 2015.

Don’t be a bit surprised to see Currie amass more votes in this election that the Greens managed in the past three elections combined.

The party is on the upswing across Canada and, in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, members claim to have raised more money during a July 31 garden party than they did during the past four election campaigns.

Perhaps election 2019 is a solid three-way race, which leads to the obvious question: Will strong Liberal and Green campaigns split the left of centre vote and give McLeod a path to victory, as was the case in 2015, when solid showings by the Liberals and NDP secured re-election for the Conservative MP? Or will enough people choose to vote strategically and hope they pick the winning horse? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ARE FLIGHTS BEHIND WARMING OF THE ARCTIC? Editor: Britain’s Royal Society has said there is insufficient understanding of the enhanced melting and retreat of the ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica to predict exactly how much the rate of sea level rise will increase above that observed in the past century for a given temperature increase.

The Royal society did not deny global warming is occurring, but admitted no one cause can be assigned to it.

According to Eric Post of Penn State University — lead author of The International Polar Year Research of 2007-2008 — “the Arctic as we know it may soon be a thing of the past. Temperatures across the Arctic are estimated to be increasing two of three times faster than those in the rest of the planet.”

These statements are backed by recorded facts.

A 1990 study by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found there was a lack of warming in the troposphere in the tropics.

However, the latest paper, in 2011, reviewed 195 cited papers, climate model results and atmospheric data sets and found that the troposphere is warming.

A 2013 paper published by Boston University in Nature Climate Change held that it’s long been known climate change is proceeding more quickly in the Arctic that anywhere else — about twice the global average, Most of the warming in the Arctic is taking place in winter, with somewhat less happening in spring and fall and the least in summer.

Using satellite data, the team found the change that has already happened is equivalent to about five degrees of latitude.

They then averaged 17 different climate models to suggest that, by the end of the century, Victoria Island will have the same temperature profile as Wyoming.

In 2016, researchers confirmed the widespread release of ancient carbon from melting Arctic permafrost under Arctic lakes.

Scientists have long known that permafrost contains vast quantities of carbon in dead plants and other organic material, about twice as much as the entire atmosphere.

They hold that the increasingly warmer Arctic may eventually reach a permafrost-carbon tipping point. Scientists estimate there are more than 1,400

pentagrams of old carbon stored in permafrost.

Each pentagram is a billion tonnes.

Global warming is occurring worldwide, but why is there such a marked increase in acceleration rate in the Canadian Arctic?

The only marked difference that is noticeable between Antarctica and the Arctic is the number of international flights using the Arctic as corridors.

The airplane exhaust is a visible layer of smog that is compatible with the altitude used by those flights.

Could the seasonal curtailment of sunlight allow these warmed pollutants to drop down to the surface? And is this the trigger responsible for the accelerated surface melting that occurs mostly in winter?

The final question has to do with the Paris Accord and Canada’s commitment to it.

Who does Environment Minister McKenna expect to pay the carbon tax levied on the massive amounts of greenhouse gases being released?

Would she hold both of the two local governments and their resident citizens responsible or bill the airlines that made them?

POOR TRANSIT ROUTE PLANNING FOR BARNHARTVALE Editor: I happened to check the transit schedule for Dallas/Barnhartvale — and it is a good thing I did.

From Aug. 8 to Aug. 14, the bus was to be stopping at McLeod Drive and turning around there.

This is the same rou-

tine BC Transit pulled when the road last had a full closure.

The city worries about liabilities and yet it wants the people of Barnhartvale to traverse the construction zone both ways.

The bus could have come up Barnhartvale Road and

turned around at several locations in the community.

The distance from the roundabout in Dallas to R. L. Clemitson elementary, via Todd Road, is the same as it is from Nina Drive, except for the distance from the roundabout to Nina Drive.

This routing would offer better service and safety to the citizens of Barnhartvale.

Obviously, the powers-that-be either don’t know there are better ways to serve the people or they don’t care.

THE DUNES Largest Charity Golf Event in Kamloops

POWWOW SHOWS RESPECT Editor: I attended the Kamloopa Powwow earlier this month and enjoyed the rich colour, talent and sacredness of the event.

I was also impressed with the organizers and volunteers who made it a huge success.

Considering there were hundreds and hundreds of participants and spectators in attendance, there wasn’t one piece of litter to be found anywhere.

Compare this to the Symphony of Light held at English Bay, where it takes a whole night to clean up the litter left behind at the conclusion of the event.

So, what is the difference? A deep respect for and love of the land — that is the difference.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED IN PARKING AND TRANSIT Editor: I was very surprised to read about the results of the city study about downtown parking (‘Study says downtown parking in Kamloops is adequate’).

As a resident of the North Shore, I seldom visit any businesses downtown simply because of the difficulty in finding a place to park.

The only place I regularly shop is Lansdowne Village because there is plenty of parking available.

In addition, I cannot see anybody supporting the proposal for a performing-arts centre downtown that does not include adequate parking for events with 1,200 people attending.

Combine an arts centre event

with a hockey game or entertainer at Sandman Centre and we have a real parking nightmare.

When I attend events at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, there is always the option of the underground parking facility.

We would need to do the same here if an arts centre is

ever to be a success.

As for encouraging more use of transit, perhaps it would be more successful if it could be arranged so it does not take close to two hours to get from my home to Aberdeen Mall.

I cannot see myself walking several blocks to get to a bus stop (especially in winter), then trying to match up with the timing of

the buses leaving the downtown loop to get up the hill.

Then one has to deal with the same situation on the return trip.

In my car, it takes less than 10 minutes, so you won’t see this senior citizen giving up the car any time soon.

CHECKING OUT OF SELF-SERVE Editor: Re: Eric De’s letter of Aug. 9 regarding the proliferation of self-checkouts in Kamloops stores (‘I will always line up for cashiers’): I agree with De’s assessment.

Walmart in Kamloops has now eliminated its successful express line, has reduced staffed checkouts and has added many self-checkouts to the point where self-serve seems to be the only viable option.

I timed the checkouts with clerks and it got

up to 25 minutes, even mid-week.

This situation prompted me to try Superstore, where I was pleasantly surprised with both product and service.

Then, when I sought out a Save-On-Brock staffer, she was concerned I was going to complain. Instead, I complimented her on the number of staffed checkouts. I also believe Safeway is serving us well.

Curtailment at local Tolko mill HEFFLEY CREEK PLYWOOD AND VENEER PLANT TO CLOSE FOR 10 DAYS MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Heffley Creek plywood and veneer operation in Kamloops will close from Aug. 24 to Sept. 2 as financial pressure continues to plague the forestry industry in B.C. The high cost of logs and weak markets are impacting our operating footprint in British Columbia,” said Tolko vice-president of solid wood Troy Connolly.

“Although we prefer to keep these locations in constant operation, we must manage the business responsibly and ensure we are sustainable for the future.”

In addition to Heffley Creek, employees at Tolko mills in Armstrong and Lumby are getting an unscheduled summer break.

The Armstrong lumber, Armstrong plywood and White Valley veneer operations near Lumby will take downtime from Aug. 17 to Sept. 2.

Tolko Armstrong experienced four weeks of downtime in May and June.

Connolly said employees were informed of the decision on Thursday and their managers are available to help them with any questions they may have.

“This downtime will affect over 700 of our

employees in these operations. We do not make these decisions without a lot of consideration,” Connolly said.

“We have great people working at these locations, and this is in no way a reflection on them or their commitment. However, we continue to experience challenging industry conditions in British Columbia.”

United Steelworkers Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons said the poor log market is driving the three shutdowns.

He said the government could adjust stumpage rates, but the legal ramifications would be dire if it did.

“The stumpage system, if the government touches it, it will adversely effect the softwood legal battle going on with the [United] States, so really we’re caught between a rock and a hard place,” Gibbons said.

He said not adjusting the rates is “causing absolute pain” in forestry communities.

“I wish I had an idea for a solution, but right now it seems like we’re going to continue to suffer from downtime,” Gibbons said.

The lack of timber supply in B.C. adds to the problem, he said, as companies bid against each other for timber, driving up costs.

Gibbons pointed to stakeholder meetings held by the Ministry of Forests in Merritt and Kamloops earlier this week.

He said they included promising talks regarding what the future of the timber supply will look like.

“And that’s a really important discussion to take place,” Gibbons said.

He said the USW’s input was that there needs to be some sort of community benefit program for towns that depend on forestry.

“There’s a lot of discussion out there right now about community forests,” Gibbons said.

“These community forest agreements basi-

cally provide some of the tenure that is going to the big companies, to the communities, and the communities are able to utilize that.”

Gibbons said he is waiting to see if the curtailment of the West Fraser mill and shutdown of Canfor’s Vavenby mill will level out the timber supply and ease prices.

USW Local 1-417 represents forestry workers in areas including Kamloops, Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Clinton.

Pino Pucci, Tolko’s vice-president of marketing and sales, said Tolko’s marketing and sales team “will continue to support our customers and do our best to mini-

mize any impacts.

“Our customers are understanding of current market conditions and aware of our ongoing commitment to serve them,” he said.

More than a month of downtime for Kelowna’s Tolko division was announced at the end of July. The plant will be down from Aug. 6 to Sept. 15.

There have been myriad announcements in recent months linked to sawmill closures or curtailments throughout the province.

One such closure took place in Vavenby, near Clearwater, where the Canfor mill closed at the end of July, leaving more than 170 people out of work.

Trees in Juniper Ridge were topped, leading resident Kevin Kierans, who took this photo, to speculate that the person behind the cutting wanted an improved view of the valley. More photos are online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Tree topping in Juniper probed SECOND SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY WITH TREES IN THE CITY THIS MONTH JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

On the heels of tree vandalism reported in Aberdeen, a similar incident appears to have occurred in Juniper Ridge.

Kevin Kierans contacted Kamloops This Week following publication of a story on Aug. 7 about 11 pine trees being vandalized on city green space near the Huntleigh Crescent-Hampshire Place neighbourhood of Aberdeen.

An area resident heard drilling and discovered the pine the stands had been attacked, with punctures around the circumference of the tree trunks and suspected poisoning inserted inside.

The city is investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, Kierans said, about a month ago, a neighbour in Juniper Ridge noticed at least seven trees had been topped on the eastern edge of the Valleyview Nature Park and on adjacent private property on Finlay Avenue.

“There’s a fence that runs down there and there’s topped trees on both sides of the fence,” Kierans said.

He has lived in the area for three decades and said he has never seen anything like it.

“The odd thing is topping them.

That’s just so weird,” Kierans said.

“If you’d just taken them down, I’m not sure anybody would have noticed, you know.

“But to top them, it’s sort of a weird

thing to do. And, of course, it’s no amateur up there.”

He snapped some photos and contacted the city to ask if it was involved.

City staff informed him they were not behind the tree topping and said the incident would be investigated.

Kierans believes the topping of the trees was another case of someone wishing to improve their view.

“It’s a guess,” he said. “But put two and two together.”

The city has a tree protection bylaw to protect the municipality’s tree canopy.

Those caught violating the bylaw could face fines of between $1,000 and $10,000 and be on the hook for costs to replace the trees.

The City of Kamloops has received $50,000 from the provincial government to assess its housing needs.

The municipality is one of 30 applicants receiving a portion of $1.5 million being dolled out from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s new housing needs report program.

New legislation has local governments collecting data, analyzing trends and developing reports every five years on current and anticipated housing needs.

To support this work, the province is providing $5 million over the next three years through the program administered by the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

Successful applicants outlined their plans for a comprehensive approach to understanding local housing needs, including engagement with the public, First Nations, vulnerable populations and a wide range of local stakeholders.

Once complete, each report will be presented to a local government council or board.

The reports will also be publicly available online.

Council approves rainbow crosswalk JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Roy G. Biv will cross a Kamloops street in the near future.

On Tuesday, council approved a rainbow crosswalk at the intersection of Second Avenue and Seymour Street downtown, between St. Andrews on the Square and the Kamloops Museum and Archives.

Council voted unanimously, 9-0, to approve the $6,000 crosswalk at a $4,500 expense to the city’s taxpayers. Kamloops Pride has pledged to cover 25 per cent of the cost, at $1,500.

Despite the clear and unanimous decision, it did not come without some concerns from councillors.

While in support of rainbow crosswalks in concept — as symbols of diversity — Coun.

Dieter Dudy said the initiative could open up the city to legal issues should other user groups come to the city with requests.

Dudy noted the flag and banner issue, in which council approved erecting a community flag pole at city hall, only to later receive legal advice against allowing its use by community groups.

Based on a Supreme Court of Canada decision, if the city allowed one group to hoist a flag, it would essentially have to allow all groups to do likewise.

City staff are not aware, however, of any legal issues municipalities have faced linked to rainbow crosswalks.

Coun. Bill Sarai agreed with Dudy.

He said when the idea first arose, the Sikh Temple on Cambridge Crescent in Brocklehurst indicated a desire for a crosswalk painted with the Sikh symbol on Tranquille Road.

“We’re getting church groups that are lining up saying, ‘Well, if this is going to go through, we’re going to be in front of you, we want crosses on crosswalks,’” Sarai said. “I’m concerned.”

Asked to clarify

those statements after the decision, Sarai said members of the Sikh community had previously requested signage indicating direction to the temple, but had been denied.

He added that Kamloops Bible Truth Church requested a cross crosswalk.

Reached by KTW, however, a pastor at the church denied such a request had been sent to the city.

Calling it a “difficult” decision, Coun.

Mike O’Reilly suggested policy be implemented going forward to prevent council from having to make an “emotional decision” in the future.

Meanwhile, a handful of other councillors echoed the word “important” in advocating support for the crosswalk. Coun. Arjun Singh noted rainbow crosswalks exist across the province and said it symbolizes not only the LGBTQS+ community, but diversity and inclusivity at large.

Coun. Kathy Sinclair noted the community of Ashcroft, with a population of 1,500, has a rainbow crosswalk Mayor Ken Christian also spoke out in support.

“Other religious groups have not necessarily been persecuted in the Canadian mosaic and Canadian history, but the LGBTQS+ community has, in terms of service in the military, service in the police force and the approaches that society has taken to homosexuality in particular, over the years,” he said.

Christian said Kamloops Pride president Sam Numsen’s presentation in June was compelling, adding that a rainbow crosswalk is a symbol of the way the city addresses diversity.

“And that’s one of the things that we talked about in terms of our strategic plan about the nature of the city that we want to help guide,” Christian said.

“From that perspective, and for $4,500, I’m in. And I would think

that we need to engage with the Pride group about everything that they stand for in their

movement and, at some point in time, hopefully there won’t be the necessity for that kind

of, having the flag raising or having the crosswalk, because there will be a greater degree of

ing the staircase, linking problems to larger social issues unlikely to be resolved as a result of removing the connector.

It would cost the city between $11,000 and $18,000 to remove the staircase, depending on whether it was done during or after the West Victoria Street reconstruction project .

Taking staff’s advice, the committee elected to investigate improved lighting, rather than remove the staircase — a decision that was intended to be rubberstamped at council this week.

However, Dudy told council he received a “disturbing” letter that led him to rethink the issue.

He told KTW a neighbour to the stairwell disclosed incidents such as masturbation frequently taking place in that location.

With mental-health and substance-use issues at the core of the problem, Dudy said he at least wants to review the issue again at the committee level.

Coun. Dieter Dudy told council on Tuesday he wants to reconsider an earlier decision by the committee to improve lighting, due to neighbourhood concerns about safety.

A petition with more than 100 signatures went to the committee earlier this summer, calling for removal of the staircase.

Last year, the city’s bylaws department received 48 calls linked to transients, health and safety, graffiti and alcohol in connection to the location.

There have also been 15 calls to police in the past 18 months linked to unwanted persons, loitering and drug use.

The petition, signed largely by downtown area residents, calls on the city to remove the stairwell in a bid to reduce the number of such incidents.

The petition notes there is a walking path located nearby, along West Victoria Street.

However, city staff advised against remov-

Kamloops council has approved $40,000 to hire a consultant to update the city’s social plan.

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian noted two significant issues that have arisen since the city’s last social plan update, in 2009: the opioid crisis and reconciliation.

The opioid crisis, he said, has had a marked and disturbing affect on all aspects of the city’s social sphere. In addition, Christian said, the previous social plan did not pay enough attention to the city’s Indigenous population, which includes about 7,000 urban Indigenous people in Kamloops.

“It’s time for a rewrite,” Christian said.

Council voted unanimously to approve the funding request.

City social and community development manager Natalie Serle said housing was cited as the most significant need in the last plan, with “good momentum” since then due to political will and property tax exemptions.

However, among challenges and barriers to social progress in the city, she noted bureaucracy, limited capacity, more talk than action, needs exceeding available resources, financial barriers, political will and nimbyism.

The funds will be sourced from the city’s surplus, with work set to begin on the new plan next year.

City will do study on Noble Creek system JESSICA WALLACE

The City of Kamloops is working with a consultant to study the Noble Creek water system.

City utility services manager Greg Wightman said an engineering firm will delve deeper into the system’s life expectancy, rate structure, capital maintenance requirements and whether the system could be run differently.

“We had some real high-level cost estimates,” Wightman said. “This is going to give us some finer detail.”

The city had earlier put the 36 property owners serviced by the system — south of Dairy Road to the northern end of city limits — on notice after the previous council directed staff behind closed doors to transfer the system to its users, sell the system or stop using the system and decommission it.

Those relying on the system include Privato Vineyard and Winery and Thistle Farm, the 10-acre organic produce farm owned by Coun. Dieter

Dudy and wife Deb Kellogg.

(Dudy has recused himself from discussing the water system issue at council due to a conflict of interest.)

The half-century-old system requires upgrades and runs at a loss every year, when utilities are required to pay for themselves.

Other complications include questionable water levels and stock water being provided outside of the scope of city’s water licence.

The system has about three-dozen active hookups.

Winter stock water, which is relied on by a handful of farms in the area, was set to be shut off this September, but council delayed it by two years so staff can gather additional information on the operation of the system.

The fate of irrigation in the area remains in limbo.

Wightman said the consultant will work with city staff and the water system users, with information gathered into a summary report for council.

That report is expected in the second quarter of 2020.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, seen here during a May visit to Kamloops to announce Terry Lake as Liberal candidate in this October’s federal election, has found himself at the centre of an ethics scandal, two months before voters go to the polls to elect a new government.

Candidates weigh in on PM’s ethics violations CATHY MCLEOD SAID JUSTIN TRUDEAU PROMISED A DIFFERENT KIND OF GOVERNMENT WHEN CAMPAIGNING IN 2015, WHILE IAIN CURRIE CALLS CONTROVERSY POLITICS AS USUAL IN CANADA CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP said voters have a right to be concerned about placing trust in the prime minister.

Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by improperly pressuring former attorney general Jody WilsonRaybould to halt the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.

“We now have a prime minister who has twice been found guilty of violating the Conflict of Interest Act,” McLeod said, referring also to the 2017 report that found Trudeau had violated the act when he and his family took a Christmas 2016 trip to the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas and accepted gifts from someone registered to lobby his office.

McLeod said this week’s ruling from the ethics commissioner clearly vindicates Wilson-Raybould.

“This is a prime minister who promised open and transparent government sunny ways, and he is not as advertised,” McLeod said. “He clearly has not taken responsibility for what clearly was interference in our judicial system, which is very, very serious.”

While responding to the ethics commissioner’s report, Trudeau said he would not apologize for trying to protect jobs.

“This is not about protecting jobs,” McLeod said. “This was about protecting his own interests and protecting his well-connected friends.

“I believe in this riding and across the country people do care about ethical governments.

“I think they are very disappointed because, clearly, this is not the kind of government that the prime minister, in 2015, promised.”

Dion concluded that Trudeau’s attempts to influence WilsonRaybould on the matter contravened section 9 of the act, which prohibits public office holders from using their position to try to influence a decision that would improperly further the private interests of a third party.

He said there is little doubt that SNC-Lavalin’s financial interests would have been furthered had Trudeau succeeded in convincing Wilson-Raybould to overturn a decision by the director of public prosecutions, who had refused to invite the Montreal engineering giant to negotiate a remediation agreement in order to avoid a criminal prosecution on fraud charges related to contracts in Libya.

“The authority of the prime minister and his office was used to circumvent, undermine and ultimately attempt to discredit the decision of the director of public prosecutions as well as the authority of Ms. Wilson-Raybould as the Crown’s chief law officer,” Dion wrote.

Liberal candidate Terry Lake said it remains to be seen how this issue impacts the campaign, though he believes many people already made up their mind on the issue months ago, when it first arose.

“We went door to door last night (Wednesday night) and, while some people commented on it, it was like, ‘Yeah, you know, not a big deal’ kind of thing.

“But any time you have the ethics commissioner or any of the independent officers make a ruling, you have to pay attention to it, so I don’t want to downplay it.”

However, Lake added, the prime minister was not only trying to protect jobs, but also related economic issues, including the pension plan and investors who had nothing to do with wrongdoing at SNC-Lavalin.

“So, it’s not just necessarily the direct jobs, although I think many of those would have been at risk,” Lake said. “It’s people’s pension plans, people’s investment portfolios that would be at risk.”

Lake likened the situation to a

scenario in which funding and jobs were at risk at TRU. “I’d be fighting tooth and nail and talking to any cabinet minister I could to prevent that from happening.”

Iain Currie, Green candidate in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, said the controversy is one of politics as usual.

“It strikes me as an example of the way government and politics has been done in Canada for the last long time,” he said.

“Not only was the prime minister trying to improperly influence the course of a criminal case, but also that there was no recognition from the Prime Minister’s Office or the government itself that this was — even after it had been discussed and publicly vetted — that this was clearly outside the bounds of appropriate conduct when you’re dealing with matters of criminal justice.”

Currie highlighted two issues of concern: that Trudeau crossed the line and that there is a lack of recognition that a line has been crossed.

As for Trudeau maintaining he was trying to protect jobs at SNCLavalin?

“All of us are for jobs for Canadians, but that’s simply a politician’s recasting of something,” Currie said.

“Clearly, there are lots of things

one cannot do as an ethical politician, even if one’s intention is to save jobs. That’s not an answer. That’s an excuse and a very transparent and unfortunate excuse, in my view.”

Currie said he will be talking to voters about the way politics is done in Canada.

“This is just another example, and I am going to start sounding like a broken record, of politics as usual,” Currie said, noting the Liberals and Conservatives often talk about the issue of politics as usual.

“Generally, that means promising not to do politics as usual until they’re elected, complaining about politics as usual when they’re in opposition and going right back to it when they’re elected.”

People’s Party candidate Ken Finlayson questioned whether the controversy will have an impact on the election.

“I don’t think it will make a spoonful of difference because these people think they’re above the law,” he said. “I don’t think the voters even care, especially Liberal voters.

I mean, we all care. We think ethics are important.

“It’s a pathetic joke. As much as I dislike the UN, I think we should probably apply for some kind of oversight, like every banana republic in the world, when it comes to our politics.”

Still no contract with start of school year looming BRITISH COLUMBIA TEACHERS’ FEDERATION AND EMPLOYER RESUME TALKS NEXT WEEK MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The past-president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association hopes teachers won’t be on the picket line in September as she awaits word on the state of contract talks at the provincial level.

Points of contention remain unchanged from January, when negotiations began, said KTTA past-president Amanda JensenLaBar, whose role is now second vice-president.

Laurel Macpherson is the teachers’ union new president for Kamloops-Thompson, but she is out of town this week.

Wage increases, and class size and composition language have been the main issues between government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation as negotiations linger through the summer, with the 2019-2020 school year about two weeks away.

Students are scheduled to return to class on Sept. 3.

Eight days of mediation are scheduled between the BC Public School Employers Association and the BCTF, from Aug. 21 to Aug. 23 and during the week of Aug. 26.

The negotiations will pick up where five days of mediated talks left off in July.

BCTF president Teri Mooring said there is no reason a deal can’t get done in those eight days, noting teachers want to start the school year with the security of a settled collective agreement.

The last contract between government and the BCTF was a five-year deal and expired on June 30. It came with a total

7.25 per cent raise. Classes were impacted by labour action in June and September of 2014 before the agreement was signed.

Talk of a strike is premature, Mooring said, but noted that is a conversation that will need to be had if there is no deal done by the end of the month.

“We’re pleased both sides have agreed to mediation. This is encouraging,” the Ministry of Education said in an emailed

statement. “We’re optimistic that the parties will find solutions and reach a deal that works for students, teachers and everyone in the school system.”

Teachers have to vote in favour of any strike action before it can proceed.

Locally, the KTTA and School District 73 haven’t met since May. They remain in a holding pattern until the results of 11thhour talks at the provincial level.

“One of the big-ticket things that we’re looking at is the restoration of the two-week spring break, which is something we can negotiate locally,” said Jensen-LaBar, noting she feels there’s room to negotiate on that issue.

SD73 went to a two-week spring break for three years — from 2015 to 2017 — but returned to a one week break in 2018. At the time, the district said merging Easter and the

break was one of the options on which staff and teachers could not agree.

The school district also suggested, without success, teachers move some professional development days outside of the regular school calendar to make up for the five days of instructional time that would be lost to the break.

Jensen-LaBar said negotiations between the KTTA and SD73 have been amicable.

“It’s maybe the closest that we’ve [ever] been on issues locally, but we still disagree on a number of things,” she said, noting those conversations will resume once the provincial talks conclude.

Jensen-LaBar said she couldn’t comment when asked what compensation teachers are seeking this time around.

The provincial government is negotiating public-sector contracts under its Sustainable Services Negotiating Mandate, which calls for a three-year term with wage increases of two per cent each year.

According to the BCTF, wages for B.C. teachers are among the lowest in the country and need to be increased more than six per cent over three years in order to recruit and retain teachers.

The government mandate applies to all public-sector employees whose collective agreements expired on or after Dec. 31, 2018.

There have been 50 tentative and ratified settlements under this mandate, covering about 70 per cent of public-sector employees, including some 30,000 K-12 support staff, according to a statement from the Ministry of Education.

NATIONAL NEWS

High profile could help Wilson-Raybould keep her seat JOANNA SMITH

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — There had been a few names floating around when the Liberals were seeking a candidate for the newly created riding of Vancouver-Granville in the last federal election, but it soon became clear the party brass had only one person in mind.

That was Jody Wilson-Raybould, then a B.C. regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations, who quickly became one of the stars Justin Trudeau and his team were promoting

heavily in their bid for power.

“They certainly dissuaded anyone else from running,” said Sam Wyatt, who was on the board of the local Liberal riding association at the time. “Now they find themselves in a situation where they probably wish they hadn’t made that choice.”

That same star candidate, who won the seat for the Liberals in 2015 with about 44 per cent of the vote, rocked the Trudeau government early this year with allegations that she had been improp-

erly pressured to end a criminal prosecution against Montreal engineering firm SNCLavalin.

The scandal returned to the headlines with a vengeance this week as the federal ethics watchdog issued a report that concluded the prime minister violated the Conflict of Interest Act. The ongoing saga of SNC-Lavalin, which saw Wilson-Raybould resign from cabinet before being ousted from the Liberal caucus alongside Ontario MP Jane Philpott, had already caused the

Liberals to slide in the polls.

Now, the finding by the ethics commissioner threatens to further derail the Liberal campaign, both nationally and, perhaps, in Vancouver Granville, where the Liberals are gearing up for a fight against someone they once called their own.

The former justice minister is now an Independent candidate and political observers say her prominence and history in the riding give her a greater chance at victory than is usually the case for those running with-

out a political party machine.

“It’s going to be crazy,” said Mario Canseco, president of Vancouver polling firm Research Co. Taleeb Noormohamed, a 42-year-old tech entrepreneur, was acclaimed this past Tuesday as the Liberal candidate vying to unseat WilsonRaybould. The New Democrats, who placed second with about 27 per cent of the vote in 2015, chose climate activist Yvonne Hanson as their candidate.

The Conservatives, who were close behind with about 26 per cent of the vote, are running Zach Segal, a former political staffer in Ottawa.

The impact the SNC-Lavalin affair will have on the final result remains to be seen, but Lesli Boldt, a longtime observer of B.C. politics, said it is clear that Wilson-Raybould earned a lot of local support from those who view her as a principled politician, even if they do not agree with her politics.

“She’s certainly

got a head start ... on some of the other candidates here,’’ said Boldt, president of Vancouver-based Boldt Communications.

Noormohamed was one of those who was dissuaded from seeking the Liberal nomination in 2015.

“I think you do the best that you can for your country when the time is right, and the timing was right this time,’’ said Noormohamed, who also ran unsuccessfully for the Liberals in North Vancouver in 2011.

Noormohamed said he wants to focus on housing affordability, transportation, climate change and health care, noting that, like him, the Liberals helping him campaign are also uninterested in rehashing the SNCLavalin affair.

Claire Marshall, who is part of the campaign committee organizing for Wilson-Raybould, said she does not expect SNC-Lavalin to be a major focus, but added the people Wilson-Raybould meets at the doorstep

do recognize her and express their admiration for what she did.

“They’re not specifically talking about the SNC-Lavalin thing, but they really just talk about how they’re really proud of what she’s done and how she spoke up,” said Marshall, who was the outgoing chair of the Vancouver-Granville Liberal riding association when she left to support WilsonRaybould.

There are significant barriers facing Independent candidates, including an inability to raise money before the writs drop.

Candidates in Vancouver-Granville are allowed to spend $106,685 on the election and Marshall said the Wilson-Raybould campaign hopes to be able to raise enough funds to meet that target. Registered parties, meanwhile, can spend an additional $84,823 in the riding and have money in the bank.

Marshall, who remains a Liberal, said she wished the party had decided to sit this one out.

1. Locally grown food tastes and looks better. The crops are picked at their peak, and farmstead products like cheeses are hand-crafted for best flavour.

Livestock products are processed in nearby facilities and typically the farmer has direct relationship with processors, overseeing quality - unlike animals processed in large industrial facilities.

6. Local food builds community.

When you buy direct from a farmer, you’re engaging in a time-honored connection between eater and grower. Knowing farmers gives you insight into the seasons, the land, and your food. In many cases, it gives you access to a place where your children and grandchildren can go to learn about nature and agriculture.

2. Local food is better for you. The shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost from fresh food. Food imported from far away is older and has traveled on trucks or planes, and sat in warehouses before it gets to you.

7. Local food preserves open space.

When farmers get paid for their products by marketing locally, they’re less likely to sell farmland for development. When you buy locally grown food, you’re doing something proactive to preserve our working landscape.

That landscape is an essential ingredient to other economic activity in the state, such as tourism and recreation.

Discovery Islands: B.C.’s inner coast paradise LAUREN KRAMER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

I

f you’re looking for a slice of paradise this summer, look no further than Feather’s Cove on Maurelle Island.

This small, little known isle in the Discovery Passage is home to The Flow Wilderness Retreat, a small, family-owned destination where guests spend five all-inclusive days kayaking across clear, aquiline water.

They take soul-nourishing forest walks to pristine lakes no-one has heard of and end their days in a cedar-smoking hot tub overlooking a bay untouched by time, as still and serenely beautiful as it was centuries ago.

Integral to this magical experience is Cristina Fox and Brody Wilson, hosts with a deep love and respect for their island home.

The pair hand-built five cozy cabins that nestle at the base of Maurelle’s Dome Mountain and created peat-fed, composting latrines beneath the boughs of massive cedar, hemlock and maple trees.

Growing herbs and flowers in their island garden, they serve guests a diet rich in locally harvested ingredients. Wilson fishes ling cod and spot-prawns from these very waters, delivering an experience rich in kindness, adventure and the still, quiet beauty of the northern Gulf Islands.

A father of two, Wilson was raised in a land co-op on the island and, after inheriting an old float house, returned as an adult to make it his home.

For three months each summer he shares the treasures of his childhood playground with visitors, guiding them to some of the Discovery Passage’s secret hideaways, revealing their treasures.

Our first day we paddle 10 kilo-

The spectacular Discovery Islands archipelago is located along the Inside Passage, between Campbell River, north-central Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, on Canada’s west coast. Quadra Island and Cortes Island are the best known of the Discovery Islands and home for most of the local residents.

metres north, through the Okisolo Channel in water so exquisitely flat the only ripples are those created by our strokes.

We pass forests of lush, healthy bull kelp, following their bulbous, rubbery heads to see long tendrils of seaweed submerged beneath us. Seals poke curious heads from the water and a family of raccoons scavenges on the shore at low tide.

Apart from the odd homestead nestled into the cliffs above, these islands feel blissfully empty of human fingerprints, sheltering a rich, thriving ecosystem.

Our destination is Octopus Islands, a provincial marine reserve encompassing a group of eight islets scattered close together.

Wilson points out a clam garden built by First Nations thousands of years ago to permit easy collection of butter clams. “They

knew when the tide goes out, the table is set,” he explains, gesturing at large clam shells on the ocean floor beneath us.

We pull our kayaks to shore on an island for lunch, picnicking outside a 1970s barn fondly referred to as the Driftwood Museum.

The old, weathered structure is decorated by driftwood inscribed by hundreds of intrepid explorers who kayaked and sailed this way over the past 20 years — a repository of their adventures and memories.

As we kayak back to our base camp the rich, woodsy aroma of cedar logs fills the air.

A hot tub beckons irresistibly and we ease our tired limbs into its sumptuous warmth, watching evening descend over steep, heavily forested cliffs of Feather’s Cove.

The quiet stillness is utterly mesmerizing as a cathartic peace-

fulness descends over us.

The next morning we paddle over to Main Lake, a provincial park on Quadra Island, hiking along an old logging road through lush forest.

It’s the heat of summer and the water is warm and clear — a perfect respite for a lazy day on the shore.

On our final day we ride the gentle, slack current south through Surge Narrows, following the curve of shoreline to examine marine life exposed during low tide.

Limpits and plump, okra sea stars cling to rocks, and we stroke prickly spines of sea urchins and the soft back of a sea cucumber.

As we pass a seal rookery, seals perform a series of dramatic belly flops for us, splashing noisily in the water.

We’re directed to a nearby rock face, where there is a healthy

RUBE BAND MARKS 70 YEARS The Rube Band will play its 70th anniversary show on Sunday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m.

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he Kamloops Rube Band has travelled the world, becoming recognized everywhere from Hawaii, Japan, New Orleans and beyond as a group of funloving musicians who aren’t afraid to mix silly and serious.

It all started in the summer of 1949, when a group of teens — the youngest of which was 14-year-old Claude Richmond — decided to do something silly for a good reason. “[Gordon] ‘Ginger’ Clow thought it would be a great idea if we could get a band together to parade through the streets with a sign that says, ‘Come to the blood donor clinic,’” Richmond told KTW. Ginger, as he was known, organized about a dozen of his high school friends and suggested they all don funny apparel, too.

“So we put on ridiculous costumes made of stuff we could find around the house,” Richmond said.

The teens’ musical gambit was a success for the Red Cross blood donor clinic because “people will follow a band, and bands attract people,” as Richmond put it.

The band continued to grow

For a time, the Kamloops Rube Band was known as the Lumberman’s Rube Band of Kamloops — named so after the group received red blazers purchased by Alf Ballison, CEO of Balco Forest Products, sometime in the 1960s.

The red blazer style is still worn by the band for more serious occasions.

as a marching band, marching down the street, playing local parades and eventually some larger events, like the Calgary Stampede, until things changed in 1966.

“We were on our way back from Calgary in 1966, and myself and a couple others thought about how next year was the Canadian Centennial, with a big world’s fair in Montreal,” Richmond said.

The band decided its next big event would be Expo ‘67, but there was a problem — there was no marching allowed.

“That’s when the change came around,” Richmond said.

So the band spent the next year putting together a stage act, with “cymbals breaking all over the place, guns going off and water flying all around,” Richmond recalled. “We still did parades, but we also did standup shows from then on.”

The group’s Expo ‘67 trip was their first world’s fair, but there was a lot more to come, including Osaka, Japan, for

Expo ‘70, Spokane, Wash., for Expo ‘72, New Orleans for Mardi Gras in 1974, Knoxville for the 1982 World’s Fair, Expo ‘86 in Vancouver and more, including a number of performances at regular events like the PNE and Calgary Stampede.

Another memorable performance for Richmond and the band was at Nijmegen in the Netherlands, where the band attended to play in a parade commemorating the country’s liberation in 1945, in which Canadian Forces played a key role.

“In Nijmegen, we could do no wrong. We did the parades in our red jackets — no funny costumes.

We dressed up for legitimate parades,” Richmond said.

“The veterans were all lined up behind us. It was such an experience — you can’t believe it. People were rushing out to the veterans, hugging and kissing them. It was just unbelievable.

Those are the kinds of parades you never forget.”

The serious occasion later

“Those are the kinds of parades you never forget,” — Claude Richmond, longtime former bandmaster, on his experience playing in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in 1967 became a fun one — but that was briefly unbeknownst to the Rube Band’s 5,000-strong Dutch audience at an amphitheatre later that same trip, where the band was set to play in the middle of a show that, up to that point, had mostly been chamber and classical music.

“We burst into the scene, booming with cymbal clashes, water in the air and rubber chickens flying everywhere. Well, it took the Dutch people about 10 minutes to realize, ‘Hey, this is a fun group,’” Richmond said, laughing.

“But for that first 10 minutes, there was just silence. They were dumbfounded.”

Richmond, 84, has made the best of his opportunities to make memories with the band, and he’s not the only one — many of the band’s members have played together for decades, some with more than 60 years of experience.

But as the band has played together, new recruits have done little to reduce the average age of the band.

“I think there’s three of us under 35, so I’m definitely one of the younger members,” said Jordan Amon, 33.

Amon joined the band after Jerome Lidster — then Amon’s Grade 9 teacher and now Rube Band bandmaster — encouraged him to play in the Santa Claus parade all those years ago.

“I think why I’ve stayed for 17 years is just that they’re so much fun. They laugh, they joke, they have excellent camaraderie and they’re welcoming — and their musicianship is so inspiring,” Amon said.

Bandmembers, including Amon and Richmond, know that in order for the Rube Band to continue, the band needs to attract new members.

“If you don’t recruit new members, it’s going to die,” Richmond said. “If you’ve got an instrument and it’s been in your closet for a few years, dig it out and come play with us.”

Amon agrees, and said the Rubes’ wisdom is something less experienced players can lean on.

“If you think there are just a bunch of clowns and some easy tunes from the 1940s, well it’s actually very difficult music. So if you want a challenge and to improve yourself, this is a great opportunity,” he said.

The Kamloops Rube Band will play its 70th anniversary show at Music in the Park at Riverside Park on Sunday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m.

Artists show a variety of work on display at The Residence at Orchards Walk retirement residence. From left: Lorna Squire, Lorraine Papp, general manager Charmaine Kramer, Rhona Armes, Bryan White, Gordon Arms, Ron Connell, Dennis Hanson, Dora Davis, Ken Davis, Glennis White, Joan Fraser and Lynn Hanson.

Welcome to the gallery at The Residence at Orchards Walk Those living at the Valleyview seniors residence are exploring their creative side for all to see TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he walls at The Residence at Orchards Walk in Valleyview are a bit brighter thanks to a project spearheaded by resident Rhona Armes.

Armes and other residents of the mature living community have put together an art gallery featuring their work.

“It started with an idea of displaying some of Rhona's art,” said Charmaine Kramer, general manager of The Residence. “And it expanded into all of this.”

When the idea was pitched to Kramer, she liked the sound of it, but left the work of putting it together in the hands Armes and others.

“This group of seniors is so different than what I've dealt with in the past because they started this project, they did the project and they finished the project,” Kramer said.

The venture came together quickly, with all the pieces submit-

ted within two weeks and Armes using her artist’s eye to decide where to display the works.

The gallery, which is located on the second floor, overlooking the dining area, features artwork that includes painting, sculpture, pottery, quilting and woodwork.

It has proven to be quite popular amongst residents and guests.

“People haven't been using this [area],” said Lynne Hansen, who provided some of the quilts hanging in the gallery. “And right after we sort of finished our initial putting up here, there and everywhere, I turned to Rhona and I said, ‘It feels different to me here.

It feels warm and welcoming.’ And she said, ‘Yes.’ Suddenly, people are walking through and they're bringing their guests.”

Some of the pieces were ready to go up immediately, but others were pulled from across the country, such as a quilt that had to be sent to The Residence by a daughter in Winnipeg and another piece that had at one time been in a museum in Yellowknife.

The plan is for the gallery to be a regular feature, though artwork may change occasionally. The group is also considering making cards for the Christmas season.

Those involved in the gallery said the project has allowed them to learn about each other in a way they wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.

“I think rather than having to try to remember everybody's name, you read what is in the artwork and the personality that's in the artwork,” Armes said.

Armes is a retired art teacher who taught at John Peterson secondary in Kamloops. She is also member emeritus at the Kamloops Courthouse Gallery. Her first art lessons came from renowned B.C. artist Vivien Cowan.

“We stayed for a year in mom and dad's guest house,” Armes said of the Williams Lake abode.

“Mom and dad lived on the lake and down the lake from mom and dad was Vivien Cowan. And she taught me my first lesson in painting and drawing.”

Get creative with your harvest

T

here’s no better time than now to enjoy seasonal produce. From fresh berries, cherries and peaches to local corn, carrots and zucchini, growing your own food or picking up ingredients from a local market is one of the best things about summer.

It’s also the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen. I love trying a new recipe, finding creative ways to use the harvest from our garden and discovering new ingredients I haven’t cooked with before.

For the freshest ingredients, start with a visit to the Kamloops Farmers’ Market or a local produce market. This is a great way to understand what produce is in season at the moment and find it at its peak in terms of freshness and flavour, as well as discover foods that you may not be familiar with.

Buying ingredients new to me is one of my favourite things about shopping at the market and farmers themselves are a great resource if you’re looking to leave your comfort zone and try something new.

There are always new cooking methods and flavour combinations to try: grilling versus roasting your vegetables, enjoying something on its own or as part of a more complex dish, and adding sweetness to a traditionally savoury dish (or vice versa) are fun ways to experiment in the kitchen.

Fresh salsa is one of my favourite things to whip up for a summer appetizer or potluck. To shake things up at the lake last weekend

Simply combine chopped peaches, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, jalapenos and cilantro with a generous squeeze of lime, salt and pepper. It’s even better after the flavours combine in the fridge for an hour or so.

Another easy summer meal that allows plenty of room for creativity is salad. Convenient, fast and you don’t have to heat up the oven, salads are also the perfect way to use up the last bits of whatever you have lying around. From Mediterranean to Middle Eastern to Asian, creamy or crunchy, warm or cold, as a side or main, lettuce or spinach or pasta or grain or legume based — salad doesn’t have to be boring.

cream for the first time this year.

Using the last raspberries from our garden and a metal loaf pan, the ice cream turned out surprisingly well.

There’s something about summer dinners on the patio that are a perfect excuse to enjoy dessert, and pie is an obvious choice. It’s a delicious way to enjoy local fruit, even if you opt for a locally made pie instead of making your own. However, if you want to get creative, why not break the (popsicle) mold with some fresh fruit popsicles? Like pie, this is a great way to use fruit that is less than picture perfect and offers plenty of opportunity to play around with different flavour combinations. There are even adult specific recipes online for those who like a little after dinner aperitif with your dessert.

Aside from holiday baking I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen as a child. Even now, more often than not, preparing dinner is something done out of necessity after a long day. But, there’s something about summer that calls for long late dinners, firing up the grill and gathering with friends.

Shucking corn isn’t really a chore when it tastes this good, and trying something new in the kitchen isn’t so intimidating when the ingredients are already absolutely delicious.

PENDREL HOMING IN ON NEW TITLE — FOUR-TIME OLYMPIAN STAFF REPORTER

atharine Pendrel sounded alarmingly chipper for someone who spent an extra night in transit due to delayed flights.

Success is a bad mood murderer.

She (eventually) returned to Kamloops on Tuesday morning, home from a European business trip with renewed belief in herself after placing fifth at the penultimate event of the UCI Cross-

Country Olympic Mountain Bike World Cup season on Sunday in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

The result was the best of her World Cup season and bolsters odds of a strong finish at the most important event remaining on her calendar — the world championship at Mont-Saint-Anne in Beaupre, Que., on Aug. 31.

“I think I’ve been kind of close, but just needed to be a little bit closer, and this definitely gives me the belief and makes me hungry to be in a fight for a medal at world champs,” Pendrel said.

Pendrel, who turns 39 on Sept.

30, sits 10th in World Cup standings and is out of the running

for a top-three overall finish. But back-to-back top-10 results (she was ninth in Val Di Sole, Italy, on Aug. 4) seem like proof there is still gas in the tank.

Factor in past success at MontSaint-Anne and the resurgent rider might just be a smart bet to reach the podium in La Belle Province.

Pendrel has raced in 11 World Cup events in Mont-Saint-Anne since 2007, winning eight medals — four gold, three silver and one bronze. Her most recent World Cup podium finish came on the Beaupre course, a bronze-medal victory in 2017.

She also placed fourth there at

the world championship in 2010.

“It’s a course that doesn’t enable hiding,” Pendrel said. “You have to bring your A-game and race aggressively. You either have it or you don’t.

“And it’s the closest that I get to having a home race. I get a lot of great crowd support out there and that’s definitely motivating.”

Motivation will not be hard to find at worlds.

Pendrel, an Olympic bronze medallist, two-time world champion and three-time World Cup series champion, is closing in on earning another impressive title — four-time Olympian.

Canada is likely to receive

two spots for its women’s crosscountry Olympic mountain biking team for the 2020 Olympic Summer Games, which will run from July 24 to Aug. 9 in Tokyo.

Haley Smith, seventh in elite women’s cross-country mountain biking world rankings, and Pendrel, who jumped to 10th from 13th in the world after last weekend’s result, are the frontrunners.

Smith, a 25-year-old rider from Uxbridge, Ont., and Pendrel are the only athletes who have met Cycling Canada criteria for cracking the Olympic squad.

2020 Olympics unlikely, but McRae bullish on future MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ryley McRae has friends.

That is an accomplishment in itself, considering his busy schedule revolves around time in the pool and pursuing an engineering degree at Thompson Rivers University.

These friends heard their buddy is qualified to swim in five events at the Canadian Olympic trials and reacted by jumping off the deep end, making the same innocent and loveable mistake that many do upon hearing the news.

“They’re like, ‘Oh, you’re going to the Olympics!” said McRae, who grew up in Kamloops and graduated from Sa-Hali secondary.

“It’s like, no. Qualifying for Olympic trials is one thing. Making the Olympics is on a completely different level. Realistically, it’s quite a long shot.”

McRae, who turns 19 in December, is among seven Kamloops Classic Swimming products (see list on A33) who have qualified for 2020 Olympic trials, which will be held in Toronto and the Cayman Islands next April.

He was the only Classic in action at the Canadian Swimming Championships, which ran from Thursday to Sunday in Winnipeg. McRae was fourth in the 1,500metre freestyle, fifth in the 200m fly, sixth in the 400m freestyle, ninth in the 800m freestyle and 24th in the 200m freestyle.

“What you take away from this competition is he’s got a very bright future,” said

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE Ryley McRae in 200-metre freestyle action at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre in March.

Brad Dalke, head coach for the Classics and TRU WolfPack swim teams. “When you have five events you’re competing in, for the highest level in Canada, and he’s so young, he’s got an opportunity to break through. We’re not there yet, but he’s getting very close.”

Swimmers who win events at Olympic trials are not guaranteed spots on the Canadian team for Tokyo 2020. They are also required to reach Swim Canada time standards to be nominated and, even then, in some cases, it’s no sure thing, as not all

HOLMES IS WHERE THE Have you ever heard a word that could mean both a really good thing, but also a bad thing?

I have recently had a word presented to me that fits this scenario. The word is ‘settle.’

Here’s how the word is positive: Say you were so happy to have ‘settled’ a dispute outside of court. Or when a crying baby finally ‘settles’ down and goes to sleep. Or when you meet someone special and ‘settle’ down and live happily ever after.

Once an argument is over, the dust has ‘settled’. Even historical events show it as a positive word.

The Schubert family were part of the Overlanders’ group that made their way on a gruelling journey on log rafts and through the Rockies to finally get to Kamloops to ‘settle’ in 1862. These all sound like positive outcomes.

The word takes on a negative reference when someone has recently said to me, “Next time I meet someone, I am definitely not going to settle.”

When I look up the meaning of the word settle used in this manner, here’s what the definition is: “When one chooses to become romantically involved with someone who is not as impressive but just as simple to be with as the best available option.”

I am pretty sure when people use this term they aren’t really saying they are way better than their previous partner, but perhaps they mean they are going to be more selective that their next lover fits

more of their criteria and shares a common passion and connection together. I have talked to a lot of women who have admitted to getting married in their 30s to someone they weren’t head over heels in love with but felt their biological clock was ticking and they wanted to have a family so they chose their partner based on their needs at the time.

Some of these couples actually learned to love each other and in fact fell in love years after they were married. Other couples waited until the kids were older and then dissolved their partnerships. They both then felt that they had indeed settled the first time around and would be looking for something different next time. It is certainly vital to have chemistry and attraction in your relationship but many couples also say that while they had intense intimacy in the beginning of their relationship this

nominees will crack the roster.

Among McRae’s bread-and-butter events is the 1,500m freestyle, with a personal best of 15:35.87. He swam 15:43.86 on the weekend at nationals, finishing about 19 seconds behind gold medallist Eric Hedlin (15:24.42), a 26-year-old Victoria resident.

It seems McRae has eight months before trials to cut about 20 seconds off his time just to get into the Olympic conversation — a lot of time to shave in swimmers’ years.

What is more likely than an Olympic berth in 2020 is McRae reaching the nation-

changed over the years. Some just felt it was too much work to keep that spark going.

Ironically in my research, I have also found some surprising information. Apparently the traits that you have found most attractive in your partner, are in fact, what ends up being what leads to most arguments, and possibly the dissolution of the marriage. For example, say when you first met your husband, you were flattered at how he wanted to protect you and was jealous of other guys. Years later, that insecurity has caused you so much angst you can’t stand it any more. Or maybe you were so attracted to your wife when you met her as she was a powerful, hard working, driven woman and you were really drawn to that. Years later you found her career got in the way of family time and it drove a wedge between you. Even if your husband was so funny when you met him and you loved that so much, twenty years later you can’t bear to hear one more punch line.

Regardless, if you felt you settled, if you are seeking a new different partner for this next chapter of your life, I will most likely present you with someone you may not have chosen on your own, and will save you from making the same mistakes.

So I think its settled. If you are happy and single and ready to share that happiness with a worthy candidate, contact me at holmes@ wheretheheartis.ca and you may just fall in love and settle down!

al podium in the next few years. He was close this year.

Take the 1,500m last Thursday, when McRae swam in second for most of the race and held a lead of about five seconds with 500 metres to go.

Two Pointe-Claire Swim Club athletes were in parallel lanes and in a heated race, using the competition to push each other.

Patrick Hussey clocked in at 15:42.49 and Eric Brown at 15:42.53, the Quebec swimmers’ blazing finishes pushing McRae (15:43.86) off the podium.

“That’s just getting more accustomed to racing at this particular level,” Dalke said.

“You have all the best kids there. It doesn’t necessarily show in the results, but he was in the thick of things, certainly in his 1,500 free and 200 fly. He was in medal spots and just came up a little bit short.”

McRae has been part of the national junior team since 2017. Perks include discipline-specific training camps, elitelevel coaching, funding for equipment and medical treatment through the athlete assistance program and travel to international meets.

The Kamloops swimmer will no longer be eligible for the junior team next year and is not expecting to crack the senior national team.

“I’m almost confident that I’m not going make it, but I’m really hoping that I will,” McRae said. “The senior team is a lot more difficult to qualify for.”

Pendrel thought Olympics were ‘probably a long shot’ From A29

Emily Batty, a 31-year-old Brooklin, Ont., product who has slipped to 31st in world rankings, can potentially unseat either Pendrel or Smith, but has not shown form that suggests that is a likely scenario.

There are two events remaining at which Cycling Canada criteria for the Olympic team can be met — the world championship later this month and the first 2020 World Cup event, scheduled for next May in the Czech Republic.

Any rider who finishes as the top Canadian and with a top-five placing at the world championship in Quebec will be named to the Olympic team.

If Batty can’t do that, she will need at least a top-five finish at the Czech Republic World Cup. Even that might not be good enough, depending on how Pendrel and Smith fare in the two remaining Olympic-qualifier events.

There is still an outside chance of Canada sending three women’s cross-country Olympic riders to Tokyo. Canada, which sits fourth in overall UCI nation world rankings in the discipline, would have to climb into a top-two position

Catharine Pendrel (left) and Emily Batty, teammates at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, are in competition with each other to reach Tokyo 2020.

by the cutoff day next spring.

Leapfrogging the Netherlands and the U.S., third and second, respectively, seems a tall task.

Switzerland is well ahead in first place.

If Canada managed to pull it off, which would likely require consistent riding from Batty, Pendrel and Smith, Batty would still have to satisfy Cycling Canada criteria to claim the third spot.

Pendrel, who endured a disappointing, injury-ridden 2018 season, entered 2019 as an underdog in the competition for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team.

Batty was coming off an excel-

lent year, having earned four World Cup medals — two silver and two bronze — and won bronze at the world championship in 2018.

She was the top-ranked Canadian in the world ahead of the first World Cup event in May, sitting sixth, with Smith in ninth and Pendrel way back in 37th.

“At the beginning of the season, I was like, we’ll see how the season goes, but the Olympics, unless Canada gets three spots, are probably a long shot,” Pendrel said.

But results on the 2019 World Cup circuit — Batty: 28th, 38th,

26th, 23rd, 39th and 19th; and Pendrel: 12th, 14th, 17th, 12th, ninth and fifth — have favoured the Kamloopsian.

“Emily had ridden so well last year,” Pendrel said. “She’s really struggled this season. You just never know. Every season is a new season.

“Things at the current moment look pretty good. I should get to go to Tokyo on October sixth this year to check out the course, get a little bit more insight on what that is going to look like and build some excitement.”

Three Canadian women are expected to attend the test event

in Tokyo, but the official roster has not yet been named.

Batty will likely take positives from the 19th-place finish in Switzerland on Sunday, her best result of the World Cup season, and her victory at the Canadian championship in Ontario in July, when she bested Pendrel by more than a minute to win gold.

Pendrel and Batty represented Canada at the 2016 Games in Rio, where the Kamloops rider earned a bronze medal, her only Olympic hardware. Batty finished two seconds behind Pendrel in fourth place.

Nearing 40 and with results waning in 2017 and 2018, the questions were warranted: Have we seen the last of Pendrel at the Olympics? Is it time to call it a career?

She has answered one of them (it was not time to hang up the handlebars) and is working on a response to the other.

“If I could win or get a top three [at worlds], it would secure my spot a little bit better,” Pendrel said.

“It kind of all depends, at this point, if Emily Batty can kind of find her way back to top form before the first World Cup of next year.”

MARTY HASTINGS/KTW FILE Kelly Olynyk, one of a few NBA players who has remained loyal to the Canadian national team throughout his career, was injured last week and is likely to miss the FIBA World Cup, a qualifying event for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Forward Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops will be unable to compete for Canada at the upcoming FIBA World Cup. Olynyk will be sidelined by a knee injury, a deep bone bruise, he sustained last week.

The 28-year-old Olynyk was originally expected to miss just one week after slipping on a wet spot in the third quarter of Canada’s 96-87 exhibition win over Nigeria on Aug. 7. It was Canada’s first game in its final push to next month’s FIBA World Cup. Olynyk is expected to be ready to play for the Miami Heat by the start of the NBA season.

He averaged 10 points, 1.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game last season for Miami.

Canada will play host to Australia in two exhibitions, on Aug. 16 and and Aug. 17, and against New Zealand on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21.

Canada wraps up its exhibition schedule on Aug. 26 versus the United States before flying to China for the World Cup. The Canadians tip off the World Cup on Sept. 1 against Australia in Dongguan, China. With a top-eight showing, Canada would play right up until Sept. 14 or Sept. 15 — a couple of weeks before NBA teams open training camps.

The World Cup has huge ramifications for the national program, as the top seven finishers qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Summer Games.

Teams that don’t qualify are relegated to last-chance qualifying tournaments next summer.

Sign up for Candle Creek event There is still time to register for the Candle Creek Half Marathon, which is scheduled to run on Saturday, Aug. 24 on the Candle Creek trails near Clearwater.

The event, hosted by the Wells Gray Outdoor Club, will feature three distance options — five-kilometre, 10km and 21 km — and a 2.5km kids’ race.

Registration closes this Sunday.

Sign up online at wellsgrayoutdoorsclub. ca/half-marathon.

Entry fees are $25

for the five-kilometre race, $35 for the 10km and $45 for the 21km.

Kids 12 and under race for free.

Proceeds will go toward maintaining the Candle Creek trails and building new ones.

Race director Juanita Allen said the event has been two years in the works and the plan is to hold it annually.

“The hope is that it will be a success to build upon as a featured and flagship

annual event for the community and visitors,” Allen said.

“With the closure of the Vavenby mill, the small town of Clearwater and surrounding areas have come together with such great support and enthusiasm.”

Volunteers are needed. Anyone interested can email Allen at blackpool2016@ telus.net.

Bike trails at Candle Creek will be closed from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on race day.

Swim Canada coaches reconstructed McRae’s stroke when he first joined the national team, changes that took some getting used to, the transition slowed when he contracted mono last year.

Dalke and McRae have nearly perfected the new stroke.

“It probably took until about halfway through this season for me to really get comfortable with how they wanted me to swim,” McRae said. “Although it set me back, now that I have it under my belt, it’s going to be a lot better that I fixed it.”

The next change may be focusing more his butterfly stroke.

“Personally, I think his best stroke is actually his butterfly,” Dalke said.

Added McRae: “I sort of feel the same way as him, like I’m at this crossroad, stuck doing distance freestyle all the time, but what I really enjoy doing are the butterfly events. Doing the butterfly events is what might give me the best shot at making the Olympics or medal-

McRae donned the Maple Leaf on three occasions during his stint with the national junior team, each time at open-water events — the Midmar Mile in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in 2018 and earlier this year at the Best Fest Open Water Swimming Festival in Mallorca, Spain, and FINA Marathon Swim Series meet in Lac St. Jean, Que. The highlight of his career to date, according to McRae, remains his dominant performance at the 2017 Canadian Junior Championships in Toronto, where he blew away the competition in the 16-and-under 1,500m freestyle, winning gold with a time (15:35.87, still his PB) that ranked 11th in the world among swimmers 18 and under.

on of Man is a title the Lord Jesus used for himself while He was here in this world.

Referring to His death on the cross, Jesus told Nicodemus: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

This title brings before us the humanity of the Lord Jesus, which is why the Lord used it while He was here. In the Bible, the title is found three times in the Old Testament referring prophetically to the Lord Jesus.

We will look briefly at these portions and one portion from the book of Revelation.

First, in Psalm 8, we find a Psalm that deals with the reign of the Lord Jesus which is yet in the future. The Psalm starts and ends with the same phrase, “O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”

The name of God is not held in high esteem in all the earth now, but there is coming a day when it will be held as excellent in all the earth. The title, The Son of Man is found in verse four. In verse six, we read that all things will be put under His feet or subject to Him. The context shows the whole physical creation will be under His reign.

This Psalm is quoted from Hebrews 2:5-9. The connection with the Lord Jesus is very clear, as it is anticipated He will reign over his own creation.

Second, in Psalm 80, the title Son of Man is found in verse 17. This Psalm is coming from a totally different context. It is clear that the context is the nation of Israel being restored to its God in repentance and salvation.

JOHN EGGERS

You Gotta Have

FAITH

Right from the start, the Psalm reads, “Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel” as God is speaking to his Earthly people. Israel’s struggles have been great and long as a people. God has chastened them for their rebellion because He loves them and desires His blessing for them.

Their desire will to be reconciled to their God as they plead in verse seven: “Turn us again, O God of hosts and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”

One day, when the Lord returns to reign, Israel will accept the one it rejected so many years ago. Israel’s confession will be as we read in Isaiah 53:5: “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.”

Israel will turn to the one that was crucified as is saviour and the nation will be tremendously blessed of God. The reference to The Son of Man in verse 17 makes it clear the one who was crucified is going to reign and the nation of Israel will be restored to its God. Israel will be totally reconciled to God and will call upon His name in reality and a true heart.

(A little side note here about the preservation of Israel over the centuries. Its preservation through the course of history is proof of the love God has for his people in Israel. There have been many attempts by different means to annihilate Israel. They have been gloriously preserved by the God of heaven as He still has a purpose for Israel in his plans.)

Third, in Daniel 7:13-14, 27, we read of the reign that is held by the Son of Man. The context of this passage is the dominion over all the nations of the earth. The reign of the Lord Jesus will be worldwide as He reigns in righteousness. Daniel received revelations from God and this unfolding to Daniel is key to the understanding of the prophetic program that God has for this world.

Fourth, in Revelation 1:13, we read of this title — Son of Man — again. This time, the context is the wonderful revelation of the future plans of God. It is written that those who have trusted Christ as Saviour have a glorious future of reigning with Christ, according to Revelation 20:4, in which we read, “they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

God is not willing that any perish and that is why He sent His son to provide salvation by giving His life for our sins.

OTTAWA — Voters will go to the polls on Oct. 21 as originally planned after Canada’s chief electoral officer decided not to reschedule voting day even though it falls on a Jewish holiday.

Election day can be no later than Oct. 21 under federal law, which this year coincides with the holiday known as Shemini Atzeret, a day on which Orthodox Jews are not permitted to work, vote or campaign.

Elections Canada had been lobbied to change the date, but decided against it this close to an election, prompting a Federal Court challenge to the decision.

Last week, the court ordered chief electoral officer Stephane Perrault to take a second look at the decision and balance the infringement on the charter rights of affected voters against the objectives of the election law.

Perrault’s detailed decision, made public this week, considered the impact on observant Jews and his mandate “to ensure accessible voting opportunities for all Canadians.” But he concludes it would not be in the public interest to reschedule.

Since no change is recommended, the federal cabinet is not required to sign off on Perrault’s decision. Under federal law, the chief electoral officer can only make a recommendation to cabinet and cannot take unilateral action.

“This is a difficult situation that directly touches upon the very core values of our democracy,” Perrault wrote in his decision.

“I nevertheless believe, when considering the entirety of my statutory mandate, and especially at this time in the electoral calendar, that it is not in the public interest for me to recommend a change to the date of the general election.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it is important for Elections Canada decisions be free from political influence.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Boris S. Karpoff, P.Eng.

Gisela Hofer

August 10, 1931 - August 12, 2019

February 20, 1943 – August 6, 2019

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gisela Hofer on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Gisela had her family by her side in her final days and with grace and dignity, a reflection of the true lady she was, she passed peacefully.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our father Boris Svetoslave Karpoff de Korsounsky at the age of 88 at the Kamloops Hospice, BC. Dad died peacefully with his girls at his side.

He was predeceased by his wife Audrey (née Gyuricska). He leaves behind his children Hélène (Peter), Nadia (Colin), Alexandra (Daryl), grandchildren Jacqueline, Karine, Colton, Mackenzie, Gabrielle and Dimitri, and sister Catherine (Richard).

Born and raised in Liège, Belgium, Boris immigrated to Canada in 1951 with his parents. He graduated as a mining engineer from Laval University, Québec in 1956. He went on to have a fulfilling career as a professional engineer and in later years worked as a mining consultant throughout the world.

Boris was passionate about the outdoor aspect of his job and enjoyed hiking and biking in his younger days. He was an avid glider pilot for many years and created lifelong friendships at several flying clubs in Ontario, Quebec and BC. Boris also was an avid stamp collector and rock hound and took part in fossil hunts around Kamloops with the local paleontology club.

He touched many lives and leaves us all with many cherished memories.

He will be deeply missed by his family, near and far, and by his friends at Berwick on the Park, the Kamloops Stamp Club and KEG (Kamloops Exploration Group).

A private cremation will be held and a Celebration of Boris’ Life will take place at a later date in Kamloops. Donations in lieu of flowers to the Kamloops Hospice Association ( www.kamloopshospice.com ) would be appreciated.

Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Gisela was born on February 20, 1943 in Karzig, Germany to Karl and Kathe Kossan. She was the youngest of five children and spent her childhood and her teenage years in Germany before immigrating to Canada in 1964.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

On arrival in Canada, Gisela moved to Cache Creek, BC and here she met and married her husband of 51 years Herbert. Herb and Gisela were blessed with their only child Michael a few years later.

Q. Sneakiest person ever?

A. Again, not far from Kamloops. Alice did everything right. She even made a will naming her lawyer as executor.

When she died, however, the lawyer couldn’t pay her bills because Alice’s daughter had rushed out and taken every penny from their joint bank account. Be careful!

Gisela and Herb owned the local delicatessen in Cache Creek which they operated for several years before retiring. Travelling was also a passion of theirs and they travelled to many locations around the world. Later on they would take road trips and explore the back country. Gisela loved being outdoors and she enjoyed downhill skiing, curling and golfing. She also liked to dance and could often be seen twirling around the dance floor on the arm of Herb.

Left to cherish her memory is her sister Elfriede Brezina, brother Hans Kossan, sister-in-law Christine Nemetz, nieces Christine, Susie, Patricia and their families and nephews Norman, Robert, John and their families. Gisela was predeceased by her parents, sister Erika, brother Karl Heinz, husband Herbert and son Michael. !

The family would like to thank the staff at RIH and the volunteers, counsellors, nursing staff and doctors at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House for their care and compassion.

As per Gisela’s request there will be no formal service.

Prosit Gisela and Auf Wiedersehen, Wir Lieben Dich Condolences may be expressed at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Lorraine Marion Castro (nee Skryme) April 7 1942 – January 9 2019

Wrinkles and lines do not define The age of the spirit So many moments in time are Imprinted in our minds Forever we will feel it.

By Chelsea Lee, written August 2019 for her Papa With sadness, we announce the passing of James (Jim) Hazell in Kamloops, BC at the age of 92 of natural causes. Jim was born in Vancouver on March 6, 1927, married Margaret Elizabeth Thompson in 1948 (predeceased in 2003) with whom he had two children Daniel James Hazell (currently in Kamloops) and Diane Gail Lee (Hazell) (currently in South Surrey). He is immediately survived by his two children Dan and Diane, their spouses Lilah Hazell and Tom Lee, his grandchildren Richard James Hazell, Sherry Diane Hazell (Troy Wurm), Michael William Lee (Jill Dunn) and Chelsea Nicole Lee (James Colley).

Jim was an avid athlete in his youth and never afraid to take a risk. He married young at 21, started his own construction company in Vancouver in the 1950s and when the market slowed, did not hesitate to pack up his young family and move to Kamloops and begin a new (1964). He successfully completed his high school graduation in his 40s, worked for the government for a while, but in a short time returned to the trade he loved, and was so good at, using his hands and building.

He was able to retire at 55 and contribute to a variety of Chase, BC community committees and activities. He won several contribution awards from the Chase Lion’s Club where he lived from 1984 to 2018. After Marg’s passing in 2003, he became a companion for Rose Kent who has survived him (age 97) and together they supported each other through the challenges that come with age. In spite of advancing time, neither Jim nor Rose let their ages stop them from fishing or exploring this wonderful province. The family was able to say our good-byes at our annual family reunion at Sheridan Lake just four days before Jim died, and while hard, none of us could have asked for a more celebratory end to a well-lived life. We have so many moments with him imprinted in our minds, and much love and gratitude for all he taught us. This poem (author unknown) is ingrained in our family values, taught to Jim by his mother and passed on to all of us.

If you mean to do a thing and you mean to do it really, Never let it be by halves, But do it fully, freely.

Dad/Papa/Uncle Jim/Jim - your life was never by halves, always full and you are now free. There will not be a funeral, Jim will join Marg at her place of rest at the Hillside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Chase Lions Club in memory of Jim. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Farewell Dear Mother By an Unknown Author Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain, Is a smile I still wear at the sound of your dear name.

The precious word is ‘MOTHER’, she was my world you see, But now my heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with me.

God chose her for His angel to watch me from above, To guide me and advise me and know that I’m still loved.

The day she had to leave me when her life on earth was through, God had better plans for her, for this, I surely knew.

When I think of her kind heart and all those loving years, My memories surround me and I can’t hold back the tears.

She truly was my best friend, someone I could confide in, She always had a tender touch and a warm and gentle grin.

I want to thank you Mother for teaching me so well, And though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell.

I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see.

Thank you my Dear Mother for all the love you showed me.

Although you’ve left this earth and now you’ve taken flight, I know that you are here with me each morning, noon and night.

That’s what my Grandpa told me

To Mom

Oh, how I loved that story.

How very, very lucky we were That you were our mother You opened our minds and our hearts.

You always had the time To tell us a story or sing us a song.

You always picked us up When we fell down.

You will always be the most important lady in our lives.

Your love and guidance will Always be with us.

We wish you could have been With us longer, but we are so Grateful for the time we had.

All of us, your friends and family, Will truly miss you.

Thank you so much For being our mother.

May God care for you As you did for us.

He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Missed by All

Five years ago, you were ripped from our hearts and lives far to soon. The moment you died our hearts were torn in two, one side filled with heartache and the other died with you.

Remembering you is easy, we do it every day, but missing you is a pain that never goes away.

Going on without you Micheal, without hearing you play the guitar and singing with your amazing voice, seeing you smile and listening to your wonderful sense of humour, is the hardest thing I’ll ever do

He was an avid outdoorsman, who loved hunting, fishing and living at Pinantan Lake. He will be fondly remembered for his love and life, family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held in Kamloops on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at St. Andrew’s on the Square at 1:30 pm.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

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

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

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

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

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

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

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

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

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

Thank you to Drake for your assistance in this difficult time.

Love you forever Mike

Beatrice Irene Thomson

Eugene “Gene” Allan Campbell

September 26, 1944 - August 3, 2019

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gene Campbell on August 3, 2019 in Black Pines, BC at the age of 74 years.

Gene will be deeply missed by his wife of 53 years Donna, daughter Denise (Darren), son Colin (Bobbi), and grandchildren Devin, Jordan, Dylan and Emilee.

Gene joined the Navy at a young age where he served as a radio operator. This then led him to a career with BC Tel, where he worked for over 30 years.

Gene’s biggest enjoyment in life were his animals and the bond he shared with them. He was an avid dart player, and also enjoyed fishing, quadding and travelling to Mexico where he could practice his Spanish. He was a smart, opinionated, hard-working man who was rarely idle. If he wasn’t fixing something or puttering around the yard, he would be found relaxing by the fire pit, listening to his music with his dog Joey. This was his happy place, a spot for the family to gather, a place that will now hold fond memories of a man we loved.

As per Gene’s wishes, there will be no funeral service.

“Que en paz decanse”

Neil Patterson

August 3, 1945 - July 1, 2019

With great sadness we announce the passing of Neil Patterson on July 1, 2019 in Nanoose Bay, BC at the age of 73.

He is survived by his loving wife Linda of 47 years, children Luanne (Gary), Sean (Jen) and grandchildren Sophia and Cole.

Born in Edmonton, Neil met Linda where they were also married. Neil and Linda worked and raised their family in Kamloops for 30 years before retiring to Vancouver Island. Neil worked at RIH in the Respiratory Dept. and was instrumental in developing the Respiratory Therapy Program at Cariboo College.

Neil enjoyed a very active retirement with his love Linda. They loved to travel, whether it be on the boat fishing, golf trips, taking the trailer south, cruises, adventures to Europe, Asia and Belize, or a game of slow pitch.

Neil especially enjoyed evenings with family and friends around the campfire.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2019 in Nanoose Bay.

The Ship

by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.

She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination.

Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.
