GO ELECTRIC KAMLOOPS: EV-READY HOMES DID YOU KNOW? Requiring parking to be EV-ready at time of construction will make it easier for occupants to install an EV charger of their choice in the future and avoid the cost and complexity of retrofitting an electrical service to the parking stall. To be EV-ready, an energized 240-volt electrical outlet needs to be installed near the parking stall at time of construction.

The City supports access to EV charging at home and futureproofing new residential developments for the shift to electric transportation. Provincial and federal regulations require all new passenger vehicles sold in BC to be zero emissions by 2035.

HAVE YOUR SAY! Take our EV-Readiness Survey and enter to win! Help us understand how residents are preparing to "go electric" in their transportation choices and provide your feedback on the City's proposed EV-ready parking requirements for new residential developments.

FOCUS ON CHRIS ROSE CENTRE DAVE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism provides educational, therapeutic, life skills and family support services for those with autism spectrum disorder.

Support from the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund makes a big difference for the centre. This is the second year the centre is a beneficiary of the Cheer Fund.

As the impact of COVID-19 is diminishing, the centre’s programs are returning to normal capacity levels. Financial support from last year’s Cheer Fund has helped.

“Last year was the best year ever with the Christmas Cheer,” said Wanda Eddy, executive director of the Chris Rose Centre for Autism.

“It’s an amazing thing when you’ve had a pandemic and people didn’t really have the same job income and, yet, the readers came through so strongly.”

The centre’s school-based day programs have maintained normal levels this past year, gradually returning to activities — such as the swimming program — as the easing of restrictions allowed.

The centre also offers an adult program that address the needs of people with autism spectrum disorder who are 19 years of age and older and who are clients of Community Living British Columbia.

The adult program was fairly significantly impacted during COVID because of group-size limits. It has since returned to full capacity.

“We expanded and we’re

Here’s how to help a great cause

doing well,” Eddy said.

The centre found new ways of connecting with fundraising and with people during the pandemic, such as hosting an art auction instead of a golf tournament.

“It went well, “ Eddy said. “We connected with other people, like artists that we hadn’t connected with. A non-for profit has to change for the times to be viable.

We were really happy about the Turtle Race and how everybody supported us.”

Eddy said the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism is appreciative of the support it has received in Kamloops for many years.

“It’s a unique organization,” Eddy said. “It doesn’t exist any-

where else in its format. The city of Kamloops and surrounding areas have supported it, so they should be proud of that.”

The centre is named after Chris Rose, a longtime educator whose greatest focus has been to support those with special needs.

Rose founded the Chris Rose Foundation, which has continued to be instrumental in raising funds for the centre.

Autism affects about one in every 68 children. Studies also show autism is four to five times more common among boys than girls.

An evacuation order for Merritt will most likely last more than a week.

City of Merritt officials said that although the flood waters have receded, they still provide significant danger to the community.

According to the city, it is working on security of the municipality, supporting rescue efforts of residents and assessing infrastructure damage.

Access into Merritt prohibited due to the ongoing flooding situation in areas along the Coldwater River and the failure of the city’s water and wastewatertreatment plant.

Due to those failures, the entire city of some 7,000

was ordered to evacuate on Monday, with residents going to Kamloops and Kelowna.

Barricades are up and the RCMP is ensuring no one enters the city.

Among those seeking refuge in Kamloops is Danaya Bagnall-Neil, who escaped the flooded Riverside Mobile Home Park. She lives with her family — four adults, three cats and a baby — and said some houses in the park were completely flooded, as were parts of the downtown.

“I thought we were all going to die,” Bagnall-Neil said. “The water was coming up over the embankment right behind us.”

She said people in the park were scrambling

when the Coldwater River breached the embankment.

“There were people running around outside and yelling, our neighbours were freaking out, fire department was everywhere,” she said.

“You could see everyone running around their yards trying to throw stuff so it didn’t float away. It’s pretty crazy.”

As for flood waters, their levels were receding on Tuesday morning, City of Merritt director of corporate services Greg Lowis told the Merritt Herald.

“They’re coming down about as fast as they came up in the first place, which is fantastic,” said Lowis.

Flood took out one bridge From A6

“Unfortunately, all that means is that we’re potentially looking at being able to start doing damage assessments,” Lowis said.

While the pumps at the wastewater treatment plant, are running, no treatment can yet happen.

“So, anything that goes into the system is just being pulled straight through and discharged immediately into the river,” Lowis said.

“The drinking water situation, the wells were contaminated so we cannot, at this point, provide any safe drinking water anywhere in the city. I know the Public

Works have started planning out what it’s going to look like to flush those lines once the water gets down to a lower level, but again, we can’t even begin that process until the water falls further. As a result, we remain on evacuation order and we do not have any estimated tine of return.”

In addition, the Middlesboro Bridge, one of three spans that connect the area of Collettville with the rest of Merritt, collapsed amid the flood.

As a result, the integrity of the Main Street and Houston Street bridges remains unkown and those in Collettville who did not

at the

Paramount

leave when ordered to do so are now stranded in their homes.

The record-breaking atmospheric river that dumped a month’s worth of rain in one day on some communties, such as Hope, led to the Coldwater River to reach what is believed to be its highest level since records began in the late 1800s.

There is no timeline for when the city’s water and wastewater-treatment operations will resume, nor for when residents can return home.

“This is going to define Merritt for years to come,” Lowis said.

LOCAL NEWS As of Tuesday afternoon, all highways connecting Kamloops to the Lower Mainland remained closed due to flooding, mudslides and, in the case of the Coquihalla Highway near Carolin Mine Road, sections of the road being broken off.

There are reports of the Coquihalla suffering such damage in a number of locations, while similar damage has been seen on Highway 1 and Highway 99. The transportation break has exacerbated existing supply chain problems, with many grocery stores in Kamloops seeing shelves emptying, in particular produce and meat sections. There has been no timeline set for when the routes may reopen.

Store shelves are emptying Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is urging residents to stop hoarding and panic buying.

Mudslides have shuttered highways between Kamloops and the Lower Mainland and Christian “run on groceries” is taking place locally.

Lineups could be spotted at Costco and produce and meat sections have been cleaned out at various grocery stores.

Something similar happened at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Christian called it a “supply disruption,” with a shortage of some kinds of produce, but said substitutes are available. He said the city’s supply chain remains supported

by Eastern Canada and Vancouver is cut off from Kamloops — not the other way around.

“We have lines and lines of transport trucks in our community now. Every available space is being used by transport, which indicates to me the supply chain from Eastern Canada to Kamloops is working just fine,” Christian said.

“So let’s be patient with the kinds of extensive repairs that are going to be required on the major transportation routes out of Kamloops to the Lower Mainland and let’s use common sense, with respect to what kinds of purchases we’re making.”

New arts centre proposal pegged at $90 million JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is looking to revive the Kamloops Centre for the Arts, expected to cost $90 million — $20 million more than cost estimates in 2019.

On Tuesday, council received an update on its recreation master plan and heard there is a need for $234 million worth of recreational facilities, including the proposed arts centre, two to three ice sheets, an expanded curling facility for tournaments, a recreational swimming pool and indoor field and gym space.

Identified as the highest priority need is the Kamloops Centre for the Arts, a 120,000-square-foot arts and culture facility including theatre, studio and rehearsal space with underground parking planned to be built downtown at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street.

The 2019 business case for Kamloops Centre for the Arts estimated the project to cost $70 million.

The project was shelved when a referendum scheduled for April 2020 to ask residents to approve borrowing up to $45 million for the facility was cancelled at the

onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, nearly three years after city businessman Ron Fawcett appeared before council pledging to help fund that business case, the new price tag is $90 million.

The city’s community and protective services director, Byron McCorkell, told KTW the new estimate is for the same facility proposed in 2019.

CAO David Trawin said the increased cost is due to construction inflation over time, an estimated 25 per cent increase five to seven years later.

On Tuesday, council unanimously approved staff liaising with Kamloops Centre for the Arts Society in 2022 and design work to begin in 2024.

Based on the previous timeline, design work was expected to take one year and construction was expected to take two years, meaning opening of Kamloops Centre for the Arts could potentially occur in 2026 or 2027 if voters approve a referendum related to borrowing for the project.

McCorkell said the project was pitched 30 years ago for $20 million, noting costs keep rising the longer the city waits to build.

He pointed to need. Kamloops cur-

rently has one theatre, Sagebrush, which seats 685 people and is shared with School District 73.

The city has turned away performances in the past and user groups want more space. Coun. Sadie Hunter said she knows of people who moved away from Kamloops due to a lack of arts facilities.

“At the end of the day, these facilities aren’t getting any cheaper,” McCorkell said. “So, the conversation becomes, ‘OK, if we need it, how do we get it done?’ It’s not a matter of, ‘Oh, it’s expensive. We don’t even talk about it.’”

McCorkell said Fawcett remains committed to donating $10 million, noting fundraising or grant dollars may cover the gap. It is not clear whether taxpayers would be asked to fund the additional $20 million via a referendum on borrowing.

The city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, said the city has plenty of borrowing capacity.

However, council also heard of a property tax increase of up to five per cent in 2022 and residents already rejected, in a 2015 referendum, a proposal to borrow $90 million for an arts centre and parkade.

Coun. Arjun Singh told KTW the

Fawcetts remain engaged in the project and the Kamloops Centre for the Arts Society has began meeting again.

Asked if he thinks taxpayers would stomach a $65-million referendum, Singh said he does not know.

Mayor Ken Christian previously told KTW he wants to see a referendum on borrowing for the project to coincide with the next civic election, which will be held on Oct. 15, 2022.

On Tuesday, Christian reiterated to KTW there is no question in his mind the biggest need for recreation facilities in Kamloops remains the proposed Kamloops Centre for the Arts.

However, Christian said the temperament of the community right now is directed around crime, security, housing, health care and climate change.

He said the project cannot afford another rejection.

Getting Schooled in Education Savings Plans Growing up in a house where our parents were a school principal and teacher-librarian, we learned the value of education at a young age. We also learned the value of a good report card! Now that we have kids, we are keen to save for their education to help them realize their career aspirations when they grow up.

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are a great tool to help fund post-secondary education for kids and grandkids. This is good news because according to The Daily released by Statistics Canada on September 8, the average tuition fee for Canadian students enrolled full-time in undergraduate programs for the 2021/2022 academic year would be $6,693.

Education costs continue to grow three to five times faster than the rate of inflation. Assuming 3% inflation, the cost of the above undergrad degree for a child born today could be over $11,600 per year. If we use 5% inflation the average annual tuition cost could be over $16,000!

RESPs have evolved over the years and offer greater flexibility nowadays, including qualifying post-secondary education programs that last three consecutive weeks.

1. Individual Plans versus Family Plans: In general, a family plan is more flexible than an individual plan. You have the ability to allocate your education savings across multiple children in a family plan, whereas an individual plan is literally only for one child. There is no risk to opening a family plan in consideration of additional children in the future. In order to qualify as a family plan, the children (beneficiaries) must all be related by blood or adoption.

2. Free money! Not many things in life are free anymore, but the federal government supports education and will provide a basic grant of 20% to a limit of $500 per year and to a lifetime maximum grant of $7,200 per child until they turn 18 years of age. This means if you save $2,500 a year, you will maximize the grant and the government will contribute $500. The government provides an additional grant for families with lower net incomes. Should a beneficiary have unused contribution room from previous years, you can contribute up to double the limit (ie: $5,000) and qualify for available grant.

3. Tax Efficient: When you withdraw from an RESP for educational purposes, there are two portions or buckets to withdraw from: • Your original contributions or Post-Secondary Education Payments (PSE) • The accumulated income, grants and growth on all assets, also called Education Assistance Payment (EAP)

(ie: student). Because students often have little to no income, plus the availability of tuition and education income tax credits generally little to no tax is payable.

4. What if they don't go to school? With a family plan, funds can be redirected to another child attending school.

Your son or daughter also has up to age 35 to draw down their RESP. Lastly, should they decide not to go to school, you can get your money out, less the provided grants with some tax implications.

5. For grandparents and family: If you are wanting to help out grandkids, nieces, nephews etc. we recommend your first step be talking to the parents to see if they have an RESP setup, then you can decide who will open the account and who can help fund the account. Multiple RESP accounts for the same children are not recommended as they do not receive any additional grant and can lead to over-contributing complications.

Given the many benefits of RESPs, we feel they are a great tool to help provide your kids or grandkids with a post-secondary education. There are a few intricacies to RESPs which is why we encourage you to talk to an advisor to ensure you are getting the most out of your personal circumstance.

Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Written By Keith

No need to worry on tracking as this is done by your RESP provider. When you withdraw your original contributions (PSE), there are no tax implications as you are literally taking your own money out. The growth and grant portion (EAP) typically is taxed in the beneficiary's hands

P

eople are angry — there is no doubt about that.

Councillors see it on social media, in emails sent to us, through phone calls and when we are stopped on the street.

People want things to improve and so does council — but the answer doesn’t come by saying “ust do it.” I wish it did because I can’t count the number of times I’ve muttered it.

That’s not the way any level of government works, unfortunately.

The higher up the government levels you go, the slower and more complicated things become.

The public can help, however.

Rather than venting on social media and sharing information that someone told someone who told you, get truly involved.

Do you have questions about the future of the Fortune Motel?

Councillors do, as well. The best place to find answers is from the owner of the facility — and that’s not the city. Go online to letstalkhousingbc.ca to find the facts.

The obvious place to start is at the top, with the federal government. I’m pretty sure new member of Parliament Frank Caputo would love feedback he can toss in the direction of the governing Liberals, since only it can pass legislation addressing those Supreme Court of Canada rulings that now make it harder for our justice system to work the way many of us want it to work.

A few people have asked why the city isn’t doing more to address mental-health issues.

The short answer is we have been trying, but all we can do is keep asking. Health — and mental health — are not municipal responsibilities, but just like the aforementioned issues, we hear about them first.

Provincial Health Minister Adrian Dix chose not to reply to multiple messages and emails from council last year. His ministry has had a business case from the city for a sobering centre for five years.

Council had a local foundation offer to pay half the cost of a second nurse in an additional Car 40, the program that pairs an officer with a mental-health nurse.

It was just for a year to prove the need for one, but we were confident it would be as busy as the existing car. Interior Health Authority management said no.

Want to know why walk-in clinics are closing and why the urgentcare clinic is almost impossible to contact? Want to know why we aren’t getting needed health resources?

Interior Health has a contact form on its website at interiorhealth.ca.

Search for White leads police north of city MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties are now exploring Highway 5 northbound in the case of missing person Shannon White.

On Nov. 12, Mounties said they were searching an area west of the city with Kamloops Search and Rescue after receiving information that White’s 1997 Jeep TJ left town for a 45-minute period the morning of Nov. 1 and was seen travelling west on the Trans-Canada Highway shortly after White was supposed to have arrived at work by 8:30 a.m.

Over the weekend, police also learned that at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 1, White’s vehicle was also seen travelling north on the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 5), past Rayleigh, before returning south, passing by Rayleigh approximately 45 minutes later.

“We are updating the public with this information as these

Shannon White has been missing since Nov.1.

searched by police belongs to the ex-boyfriend of White, according to friends and colleagues of White who spoke with KTW. One neighbour told KTW there had been a heavy police presence at the property since Nov. 10, noting the RCMP brought in a tow truck at one point to haul three vehicles away. The neighbour was not aware if any arrests were made.

RCMP spokesperson Crystal Evelyn told KTW no one has been charged in connection with White’s disappearance at this point, but did not answer when asked if a vehicle had been seized as part of the investigation.

White is believed to have left her home on Bestwick Court in Lower Sahali around 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 1. She was supposed to be at her job a short distance away at the Hyundai dealership on Notre Dame Drive by 8:30 a.m., but she never arrived. The next day, Nov. 2, her Jeep was found at about 3:30 p.m., parked downtown in the 200-block of Nicola Street.

Anyone who lives in, or is familiar with, rural areas north of Kamloops is asked to be on the lookout for anything related to the investigation, including any game camera footage that may have captured video that could be helpful.

Those with information are asked to call police at 250-8283000.

Larger tax hike in store for Kamloops property owners in 2022 JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops homeowners face a provisional five per cent property tax hike next year.

The 2022 provisional budget went to a committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, when mayor and council discussed the proposed preliminary increase of 4.89 per cent.

The city’s director of corporate services, Kathy Humphrey, said the proposed increase is due to $7 million in increased operating and inflation costs, but also due to “challenges,” including the ongoing COVID19 pandemic and a RCMP contract with pay raises.

“Really, the only options at this point to reduce the taxes are reductions in service,” Humphrey said. “So, if council isn’t comfortable with the percentage as it’s presented right now, then we will listen to

what council wants and come back with whatever direction they want us to go.”

This year, the RCMP ratified its first collective agreement, which includes pay hikes retroactive to 2017 and ongoing increases. The retroactive pay increase equates to $6 million, which will be funded by the city’s community safety reserve.

Meanwhile, $2.52 million in additional RCMP contract costs in 2022 will be funded via taxation.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to cause the city to lose $2.2 million in revenues for recreational services, transit fares, parking fees and facility rentals, due to continued health restrictions and additional cleaning protocols, while an additional $410,000 in COVID19-related costs is accounted for in the provisional budget, including for items like sanitizer, masks and Plexiglass, and

also because of supply chain issues ($90,000 estimated impact) and additional fleet equipment ($250,000).

“We can’t double-occupancy a bunch of our vehicles, so we’re running two sets, two trucks instead of one,” Humphrey said, noting parks vehicles that would usually be parked for part of the year ran all year, adding fuel and insurance costs.

The city plans to use COVID-19 restart funds it received from the province to help offset some COVIDrelated shortfalls. If approved, the city will have $455,000 of those funds left. Humphrey said the city is anticipating a return to normal in the fall of 2022.

Provincial dollars are also helping to offset transit costs.

Transit is running at about 65 per cent of pre-pandemic ridership levels and, subsequently, impacting revenues.

Without the above funding, residents would be facing an eight per cent property tax hike at this stage.

Council will meet again to discuss supplementary budget items and the provisional budget will be passed in early December. The final tax rate will not be set until the spring.

The public still has time to weigh in. The first public in-person budget consultation meeting held since before the COVID-19 pandemic will take place on Monday, Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. in the NorKam Mechanical Lounge at Sandman Centre.

“This is an opportunity for council to hear from the public and for the public to weigh in, to provide input on new services they would like,” Humphrey said. “If they would like to see service reductions, what would they like to see reduced? Are they comfortable with the tax rate.”

ASK Wellness pledges to tackle criminal issues at Northbridge Hotel, which it manages MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The ASK Wellness Society said it is addressing crime issues at the Northbridge Hotel, but has found itself behind the eight ball since being hired to manage the now city-owned property in North Kamloops.

On Nov. 9, Kamloops RCMP responded to the hotel at 377 Tranquille Rd. for a call of suspected squatters and possible criminal activity.

Const. Crystal Evelyn said while the people found in the apartment last week were its legal tenants, they were arrested after officers spotted stolen items in plain view.

After obtaining a search warrant, police seized two stolen e-bikes, a high-end mountain bike, suspected drugs and three modified, sawed-off long-barrelled firearms.

An investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.

KTW reached out to ASK Wellness executive director Bob Hughes for comment, who provided answers via email.

When it comes to stolen property and criminal activity issues at the hotel, Hughes said the agency will be requesting intervention from the RCMP. “For those who are committing property crimes, trafficking poisoned drugs and possessing weapons, we will demand action and stop at nothing to have them be accountable and held criminally responsible,” Hughes said in his email. “This will be our approach with all activities that involve public safety and the safety of residents.”

He said ASK became aware of criminal activities within one of the Northbridge apartment units soon after assuming management and requested the

SPECIAL DANCE PRESENTATION

RCMP attend and intervene.

The City of Kamloops is paying ASK Wellness $20,000 per month to manage the hotel and its tenants until a bid for the work is put out to tender. The city bought the hotel and an adjacent property last month for $7.1 million.

Hughes said ASK was given little notice by the city to manage the property, something he said has “put us at a significant disadvantage, lacking the ability to be proactive in trying to address some of the long standing issues of a criminal element in the building.”

Asked what course of action the non-profit plans to take regarding the tenants involved and if they will be evicted, Hughes said the process for evicting individuals is bound by the Residential Tenancy Act, even under these circumstances.

He said ASK is “currently

working with representatives within the city and the RCMP to determine any other steps possible to keep these individuals from accessing the building.”

“How those so deeply involved in criminal activities remain able to have tenancy rights is something that needs to be addressed by the province,” Hughes said.

He said it’s troubling that ASK took the steps to intervene in this kind of activity and yet the people arrested remain in the area, having been released as charges are pending.

“We echo the sentiments of many who question the way our courts are dealing with criminal activities like this,” Hughes said, noting he finds it shocking people found in possession of firearms and stolen property, and are selling drugs, are released back into the community.

Protests draw the ire of Legion, MP KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Reports of opponents of vaccine mandates and so-called anti-vaxxers impacting Remembrance Day ceremonies in B.C. have drawn the ire of the Royal Canadian Legion and Kamloops MP Frank Caputo.

In North Vancouver, protesters could be seen waving signs at that city’s Nov. 11 ceremony.

In Kelowna, opponents of the vaccine mandate used a microphone and speaker to speak about the issue — just as veterans and others were finishing the Remembrance Day ceremony.

In both North Vancouver and Kelowna, the protesters were approached by others and told the time and place was a poor choice to take their message.

In Kamloops, the official Remembrance Day ceremony, by invite only due to the pandemic, was held at the Cenotaph on Battle Street and was unaffected.

However, residents, including some veterans, did visit Riverside Park to pay their respects at the Cenotaph there, only to encounter vaccine opponents staging one of their regular opposition rallies.

A number of people criticized the protesters for staging rallies on Remembrance Day. So, too, did the Royal Canadian Legion in a release.

“Every year, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen,” the Legion said in its statement.

“Pandemic restrictions have meant we have had to change how we honour our veterans with smaller ceremonies, virtual ceremonies, or the cancellation of the event all together.

“It is unfortunate that some took this as an opportunity to distract others from grief, remembrance, and their intention to honour our veterans.

“The disruption of services in Kelowna, and Kamloops, and the defacing and vandalism of the memorial in Cranbrook are unacceptable.”

The reference to Cranbrook was in relation to graffiti someone spraypainted on the Cenotaph in the Kootenay town: “The real heroes are the vaccinated.”

Caputo, Conservative MP for SPONSORED CONTENT

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo and Opposition critic for Veterans Affairs, also condemned the protests and their timing.

“I was sickened and horrified to learn of the defacement of a Cenotaph in Cranbrook and the interrupting of Remembrance Day ceremonies in Kelowna and Kamloops for political protests,” he said, noting Remembrance Day is a solemn opportunity for Canadians to come together and reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans.

“To use this as an opportunity for political posturing is deeply insulting to all those who have served Canada,” Caputo said.

“It is my sincere hope that those who are responsible for these acts are identified.”

While noting there was no official Remembrance Day ceremony in Riverside Park in Kamloops on Nov. 11, Caputo said the actions of the vaccine opponents were still offensive.

“Many veterans and civilians chose to go to the Riverside cenotaph because it is a focal point of reflection,” he told KTW. “They left feeling dismayed and horrified by what they saw and heard.”

HOLMES IS WHERE THE

Every day on the Facebook page AsKamloops, thousands of people respond to requests for assistance.

Some people are looking for a good lawyer, a car detailer, a fitness trainer, an accountant, a contractor and many more.

It’s nice to have a community that happily connects people to what they need.

Some people are really handy and can do quite a few tasks on their own. There are men and women who can change their own tires, mow their own lawns, clean their own houses and walk their own dogs, but some people are so busy that they prefer to hire out these services and have tasks done by someone else. One thing is clear, though — nobody can do absolutely everything on their own.

In some cases, technology steps in and also lends a hand.

When my son walks into his house, he says, “Alexa, a little help over here please” and, suddenly, lights go on, music starts playing and blinds open.

Many of you might remember the days when men refused to ask for directions and would rather drive around in circles five times than

actually bring themselves to roll down their window and ask somewhere for help in getting to their destination.

(Yes, we actually rolled down our windows in the old days.)

Men seemed to think it was a sign of weakness to ask for help. Truthfully, it’s more of a sign of stubbornness not to ask. I bet these same men now find no shame in plunking their destination address into their GPS and letting that guide their way effortlessly to their final desired location. But it’s still asking for help.

One time, my mom actually watched a YouTube video on

how to fix her toilet. YouTube has step by step instructions for pretty much anything you want to try, but I think many people don’t have the time or patience for that and prefer to call a plumber.

Technology has also changed how people date.

The first modern-day dating website was called kiss.com in 1994, followed by Match. com in 1995. E-Harmony came around in 2000, Plenty of Fish in 2003, OK Cupid in 2004, Zoosk in 2007 and Grindr in 2009.

There were many before and after that and there will still be more to come. The industry is worth well more than $2.5 billion This is also proof the majority of people cannot meet a partner on their own.

Gone are the days of hanging out at Jukebox Jive and meeting your soulmate.

Even if you met someone at a nightclub, what are the chances that person ticks any of the boxes on your wish list? (Then again, if you met someone in a bar, at least you know they are vaccinated.)

I had a man tell me he didn’t need help finding a woman.

Two weeks later, I saw him

‘BUBBLE ZONES’ ON WAY The B.C. government is moving to give cabinet the authority to create protection zones around health-care and other facilities that may be targeted by protesters against COVID-19 vaccine and treatment services.

Attorney General David Eby introduced a bill Monday that would “preserve safe and unimpeded access” for people going to work or receiving service, after hospitals were targeted in September by protesters objecting to proof-of-vaccination requirements for jobs and entry to restaurants and entertainment events.

The proposed legislation will protect hospitals, COVID-19 test and vaccination centres, and K-12 schools by establishing 20-metre (66 feet) access zones around them

on Match.com. I messaged him, noting I saw he had changed his mind and that he needed help, after all. He was advertising to the whole internet that he needed help meeting someone.

If someone is involved in online dating, it means they need help and cannot do it on their own. Even if a friend set you up with someone, or you applied to appear on the Bachelor, you still needed assistance.

The difference between getting an app to help you or getting me to help you is that I have met these people first to confirm that they actually exist and they they are who they claim to be in their profiles. I truly find out what they are looking for and, more importantly, what they are not looking for.

If you are happy and single and would like to have me assist you in getting connected to these great individuals, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

Conversely, if you are just looking for a butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker you can visit AsKamloops and they will find you one.

Most outbreak patients vaccinated, most cases mild

RIH DEALING WITH FOUR COVID-19 OUTBREAKS KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Of the 36 patients who have tested positive in the four concurrent COVID19 outbreaks at Royal Inland Hospital, 31 were fully immunized, two were partially immunized and three were not vaccinated.

The patients are in the hospital for non-COVID19-related issues and are not patients in the hospital’s COVID-19 units, where vaccination rates are “extraordinary lower,” according to Interior Health in communication with KTW. Interior Health said that of the 36 people who were in RIH when they contracted COVID-19, three are in critical care as of Monday, with the vast majority of cases being mild and discovered through asymptomatic testing.

“Fortunately, these statistics demonstrate how the COVID-19 vaccine can prevent severe illness and

death,” Interior Health told KTW. “We are also fortunate to have very few deaths related to this outbreak due to the high vaccination uptake.”

As of Monday, there have been a total of 45 cases connected to the quartet of outbreaks — 36 patients and nine RIH staff members.

There have been three deaths, though whether the deceased were vaccinated or had co-morbidities has not been revealed, due to privacy concerns.

The outbreaks are on unit 5 South (medical ward, declared on Nov. 2), unit 7 North (renal/cardiac ward, declared on Nov. 8), unit 6 South (surgical ward, declared on Nov. 10) and unit 5 North (stroke/ rehab ward, declared on Nov. 13).

The health authority had maintained throughout outbreaks at RIH that it is safe for people to visit patients.

However that changed

Interior Health said all services continue to be available at RIH, adding that the hospital remains safe to visit for anyone needing emergency care.

The rally was held after the record-breaking heat and wildfires of the summer and just before the historic rainfall of this past weekend that led to major flooding, mudslides and all highways between Kamloops and the Lower Mainland being out of commission.

BC’S FIRST SUBARU DEALERSHIP SINCE 1979

Pods were being delivered to the former Stuart Wood elementary in downtown Kamloops on Monday, with plans to open the gymnasium as a shelter for the homeless in coming weeks.

Nanette Drobot, BC Housing’s regional director of operations in the Interior, said she expects between 20 and 25 shelter beds to open there within two weeks.

Other work underway includes the addition of construction fencing and a hygiene cart, essentially a C-can filled with portable toilets and showers. Unlike when it was a shelter in recent years, Stuart Wood will operate 24 hours per day, not just overnight, this winter.

“I think when we are really thinking about concerns of businesses, concerns of neighbourhoods and really trying to provide the best service, you really do need a 24-hour service and you need to staff it appropriately so there are a number of staff there to ensure people have the proper care and to ensure that, if business calls, the operator can actually talk to the person and deal with whatever they can deal with,” Drobot said. “I think that it’s a shift because it’s the right thing to do and it’s best practise.”

The city is currently short 90 shelter beds.

“Opening a winter shelter is good, but it still doesn’t fill the urgent need that we are seeing,” Canadian Mental Health Association executive director Alfred Achoba said, noting he is frustrated with Kamloops being “reactive” versus preventive.

“If we have a cold snap, then we do what we did earlier this year, which is put people on mats,” Achoba said.

“You know, I may have to activate Rosethorn, activate any other site we have. That would be the plan, to use all of the resources we have. At the moment, it is frustrating to know that we only have 25 beds that will basically fill up the day they open.”

Two other shelters are planned — one in the former Greyhound building in Southgate and another to be constructed on vacant property on Kingston Avenue in North Kamloops. Those shelters are expected to open in early 2022, but no exact dates could be provided.

Drobot said having people in the cold is of “grave concern” to BC Housing.

“We’ve been at the table for months, years in fact,” she said.

“It does seem like we talk about this every single year and it feels like we’re scrambling every single year. We don’t have locations. And if we did, we wouldn’t be doing this.”

Shelters can be divisive issues in communities From A20

Drobot said BC Housing relies on the city or private property owners for shelter locations, but noted that as soon as private property owners learn BC Housing wants the property for shelter, negotiations stop.

Drobot said shelters are divisive in communities. In some cases, she said, owners may want to lease to BC Housing until neighbours get upset.

She said it is also an issue in other communities.

“That’s our major barrier for shelter services,” Drobot said.

We have the funding. We can get operators. It’s just the sites and, in this case, all these three sites were something that the City of Kamloops came forward with as opportunities for us and we actioned them as fast as we could.”

Drobot said negotiations for the Greyhound building occurred relatively recently, following approval from city council. She said it is helpful for the city to come to BC Housing with locations as it knows which neighbourhoods make sense.

The Greyhound building will be renovated into a shelter space called Merit Place, providing an additional 50 beds. An assessment of that work and costs associated is underway. Lease of that property is for 18 months, into the spring of 2023.

“When you convert a warehouse space, it really is a matter of bringing the pods up and constructing them, bringing the hygiene carts back in and then putting the construction fencing in,” Drobot said.

“I don’t think it will be too much.

We’re very hopeful it won’t be too much and we can get things rolling.”

The Greyhound location will replace shelter space currently located at Memorial Arena downtown.

The hockey community is anxious to regain access to the arena amidst a shortage of ice times, though it remains unclear when in 2022 the arena will be utilized again for recreational purposes.

The North Kamloops shelter, meanwhile, will look a little different because it will be constructed on vacant land owned by the city, on Kingston Avenue under the Halston Bridge.

Drobot said the city is leasing the property to BC Housing at a “nominal” cost for three years, with options to extend for two years.

She said it will be a modular building, similar to what is seen on Mission Flats Road — the Mission Flats Manor project — allowing fast construction and individual rooms. Drobot said a similar shelter is opening this week in West Kelowna.

“I’m really excited about this approach because it’s so quick,” she said.

“Again, another opportunity for

people to have some dignity in the process and another type of approach for the operators, for CMHA to learn about this new way of shelters instead of this

congregate way that they’re used to, say at Memorial Arena or at the curling club or at Stuart Wood, for example,” Drobot said.

Unfortunately, they would often apply and be denied over and over. Nellie started her own research study to discover what factors determined an applicant’s success or denial. Nellie discovered many people qualified and were not receiving refunds owed to them. People with Arthritis, IBS, Diabetes, etc., were all unaware they were eligible.

Walk softly, carry a big stick, notepad and pen DAVE EAGLES STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

Chris Kempling enjoys making walking sticks in his spare time.

The newspaper columnist, poet, songwriter and author has been busy during the pandemic, having written and published a fantasy trilogy, work that began just as the pandemic arrived.

Kempling was out cutting a stick in the hills near his Juniper Ridge home when his saw slipped, producing a gash on his hand.

“I thought, ‘Ooh, that stick didn’t want to be cut.’ It was like it was fighting back,” he said.

“A stick that fought back?

Kempling thought about a scenario in which that could happen. ”Well, if a wizard put a spell on it and this stick-cutter trespassed onto his territory to get this stick,” is what Kempling thought and the germ of a tale

began to form in his mind.

A mere five months later, his story was finished.

The Blood Hammer trilogy series — Quest for the Crown, Black Hand Rises and Ghost Singer’s Prophecy — landed at Amazon and Chapters Indigo this past August, published by Tellwell Talent.

Kempling said there was no plan to write a trilogy. He knew he had to have a good villain and some engaging characters.

His plan was to kill off the villain at the end of the first book, but realized the antagonist was so “deliciously bad” that he had to keep him around to make life miserable for the hero.

Kempling wanted someone ordinary for the main character — a common theme in book writing.

That character is Genneset, a humble tinker-man, a roving knife sharpener wandering the towns and villages of Zutheria.

encounter with the wizard Astaran, Genneset’s walking stick is given an unspeakable power — Blood Hammer.

Kempling said he drew inspiration for characters from both everyday experiences and from his own past.

“I remember this tinker, this knife-sharpener,” Kempling said, as he recalled his childhood.

“He would wander around the neighbourhoods and ring

his little bell and the housewives would come out of their doors with their scissors and knives and he would sharpen them all.”

Other characters appear from Kempling’s daily encounters.

TRU student Tamba Kemoch from Sierra Leone was one of those whose impressive physique inspired the character Dzulhcho, a broad-shouldered bodyguard.

his route, Kemoch’s impressive physique was hard to miss. “[He is] a huge man. He would give me a fist bump with a fist the size of a ham every time he got on the bus.”

Significant to this fantasy series, Kempling has woven his knowledge of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation language into his storytelling, incorporating words from all three Carrier dialects.

Having lived in Quesnel for more than 25 years, Kempling learned First Nations Carrier from an Ootsa Lake elder.

The Northern B.C. Indigenous dialect of First Nations Carrier appears in place names of rivers, mountains and regions and in many of the names of tribes and peoples in the story.

Bookings for banquets in November and December at Colombo Lodge is down substantially due to capacity restrictions.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

Pandemic restrictions continue to impact holiday gatherings WITH MAXIMUM CAPACITY AT 50 PER CENT, VENUE AND BANQUET BOOKINGS ARE DOWN SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

With restrictions still not fully lifted, banquet halls and other small- and mediumsized venues continue to see fewer bookings than usual.

In the case of the Colombo Lodge, which hosts banquets, weddings and other parties, the pandemic continues to have a significant impact, according to lodge president Ross Spina.

Spina said the organization is geared toward large gatherings, and with a 50 per cent capacity restriction and lingering hesitancy over gathering in general, the past 20 months have been difficult.

“That’s what we’re here for, and that’s what we’re designed for, as a society,” he said.

Other than the capacity limits, which could still allow up to 200 people in the lodge, Spina cited the no-dancing rule as one that has also had an impact.

“In reality, the people who come to Colombo Hall come to party. And if you can’t dance, that’s a big deterrent to them,” he said.

Spina said the lodge would typically see 12 to 15 banquets in November and December, but to date only five have been booked, “and the average number of people in each one of those is about 100,” he added.

Despite the impact, Spina said he supports the guidelines because “they’re there for a reason,” but he would like to see a more level playing field. He hopes that with ever-increasing vaccination rates, it soon won’t be a problem.

The City of Kamloops, meanwhile, also rents out small- and medium-sized venues, such as community halls and activity centres and larger lounge spaces at venues like the Sandman Centre and McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

Sean Smith, business operations and events supervisor with the City of Kamloops, said overall, rentals have been up in recent months — but Christmas holiday-related bookings are down. The reason is much the same as Spina’s.

“Because the maximum capacity is still at 50 per cent, many of the groups who would normally be booking a Christmas party can’t work with the 50 per cent capacity, so they’re just choosing not to book,” he said.

In the interim, the Colombo Lodge continues to offer its Colombo Cares program and its Friday Specials program, which offer take-home Italian cuisine.

More information can be found on the group’s website at colombolodge.com.

The project is subject to a federal impact assessment under the Impact Assessment Act and British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Act. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada ( the Agency) and British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are working cooperatively to provide a single review process for the project that meets the requirements of both jurisdictions. The project’s federal impact assessment has been referred to an independent review panel that will be appointed at a later date. The provincial environmental assessment will rely on the information collected throughout the review panel process and the panel’s impact assessment report.

The public and Indigenous nations are invited to review and provide comments on the draft provincial Process Order, the draft Joint Guidelines and the draft Joint Assessment Plan for the assessment of the project.

The comment period starts November 10, 2021, and ends December 23, 2021, at 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Comments received will support the Agency and the EAO to prepare the final Joint Guidelines and final Joint Assessment Plan for the project, as well as the provincial Process Order, which will be provided to GCT Canada Limited Partnership to inform the next steps in the process. The draft Joint Guidelines outline the project-specific factors that are proposed to be considered in the assessment and provide direction to the proponent on the information and studies required in its Impact Statement / Application. The draft Joint Assessment Plan outlines the assessment process including participation opportunities, general timelines and roles and responsibilities of participants for each phase of the process. The provincial Process Order sets the scope, procedures, and methods of the provincial environmental assessment.

Comments only need to be submitted once to either the Agency or the EAO to be considered in both the federal and provincial assessment processes. Comments submitted to the Agency may be submitted in either official language. Comments received by the Agency or the EAO are considered public and will be published online.

Night to honour Moores

Will Friday’s Royal visit be postponed?

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Whether the Kamloops Blazers will play host to the Victoria Royals this Friday at Sandman Centre remains to be seen.

Heavy rainfall on the weekend has led to a number of mudslides and road closures across the Lower Mainland and into the Interior.

As of Tuesday, all highways connecting Kamloops to the Lower Mainland remain closed due to mudslides and highway being severely damaged.

“We’ve got to wait and see if there is an option open for Victoria to come here,” Blazers’ assistant general manager

Tim O’Donovan told Kamloops This Week.

“At this time, there is not. We’ve got a few days to see what happens.”

The Blazers are scheduled to travel to Kent, Wash., on Saturday to play the Seattle Thunderbirds. That game is expected to go ahead as planned, with the Blazers likely to use the Oroville-Osoyoos border crossing in the South Okanagan as Highway 97 to Vernon and Highway 97 from Vernon to the Canada-U.S. border remain open.

Kamloops earned back-to-back victories over the Vancouver Giants this past weekend, posting a 6-1 win on Friday at Sandman Centre and edging the hometown Giants 2-1 on Saturday in Langley.

The Blazers sit atop the Western Hockey

League B.C. Division standings with 26 points, followed by Kelowna (17 points), Vancouver (15 points), Prince George (12 points) and Victoria (4 points).

STORM ON HOLD The Kamloops Storm of the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League will not play host to the Chase Heat on Wednesday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre as planned.

Storm GM Matt Kolle said the game has been postponed as the arena is being used as an emergency reception centre for evacuees from the flooded city of Merritt.

There has been no word on when the game will be rescheduled and when.

This Friday’s Kamloops BlazersVictoria Royals game at Sandman Centre — if it proceeds — will feature a pregame event to honour and remember Don Moores, the late president and COO of the Blazers.

The pre-game event will be used to celebrate the contributions Moores had on the Kamloops Blazers and the community as a whole.

Moores, 65, died of a heart attack on June 30 while golfing at Kamloops Golf and Country Club.

Prior to joining the Blazers as president and COO in 2016, Moores spent decades with Black Press, former owner of KTW. Moores’ office during those years as regional president was in the Kamloops This Week office on Dalhousie Drive.

Friday’s faceoff is at 7 p.m.

Students of Four Directions secondary have released a new song and music video, with lyrics inspired by the May announcement by Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc that a survey of land near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School had revealed about 200 probable unmarked graves.

The school project was the result of a one-week intensive program provided by the N’we Jinan mobile production studio, which seeks to teach students about sound recording, music production, songwriting and performance.

Four Directions secondary is an academic program taught through an Indigenous lens, intended for Indigenous students who are more likely to succeed in smaller, more personal and flexible settings.

The project features nine students from grades 11 to 12, including Skyler Oakes, Mileo Merrill, Jaynus Lecoy Peters, Draiden Ambridge, Evan Tarlit, Kevin Lavoie-Dick,

“It’s just been an incredible journey to watch our students, all of our students, behind the scenes, supporting and encouraging their peers through this experience. It’s been an absolutely phenomenal learning journey,” said Four Directions math teacher Courtney Bruin.

David Hodges, one of the N’we Jinan producers, said the program is intended to support young leaders through a journey of creativity.

“Your story is your strength. Everyone has a story

to tell, and those stories can be valuable sources of resilience and strength,” he said.

Another producer involved, who goes by the name Drei, was the videographer and facilitator for the project.

Explaining the process, Drei said the project was created during a four-day process, with songwriting and lyrics on day one, individual recordings on day two, video shoots around Kamloops on day three and a storyline and cinematic shots wrapping up day four.

“We’re just the facilitators,” he said. “The students came

up with everything — the words, they recorded their parts, in front of the camera, performing and everything.”

Following the presentation, the students involved gave some feedback to the producers who had helped them, with comments like, “I feel stronger now,” and “It really took us out of our comfort space to make this video, I’m not going to lie.”

The nearly four-minute music video, called Together We Thrive, can be found on the N’we Jinan YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=D2ke4yTbnUc.

He flexes his muscles, leaps to within 12 feet of me, and then pauses.

Dark eyes under heavy brows lock gaze with mine, and for a fleeting moment his lips seems to stretch in a faint smile.

He then bounds across the grass, his thick, shaggy coat glowing orange in the morning sunlight.

His name is Richie and he is a 27 year-old orangutan at the Semenggoh Rehabilitation Nature Reserve, located 20 kilometres south of the town of Kuching in Borneo.

Like the other 23 reserve residents, he has been rehabilitated into the wild, but returns to visit from time to time.

As is evident from his thick cheek pads and large throat pouch, Richie is very much the dominant male in Semenggoh, and a very sexy dude to his adoring harem.

In another area at the Semenggoh Reserve, 22-yearold Delima is snacking on fruit.

Her three-year-old daughter Selina, peeps at me over her Mum’s shoulder. Her 9 year-old brother is nowhere to be seen — like most kids verging on adolescence, he’s off somewhere testing his independence.

ustenance, but many of these swamps are being cleared away for palm oil plantations — a multi-million dollar industry.

A group of us travel for a several hours to a rustic forest lodge at Sukau, arriving in a tropical thunderstorm with roiling thunder, dramatic lightning and a solid curtain of rain.

Early next morning the cotton-wool fog rolls away as we board canoes to traverse the treacle-coloured Kinabatangan River.

Our boatman manoeuvres along narrow canals, gliding under looping vines and the dense mangrove jungle.

Our guide cuts the motor, letting the canoe drift, he whispers, “Look. There he is.”

With binoculars glued to our eyes, cameras at the ready, we see him amidst the foliage — a funny looking, pot-bellied guy with an enormously pendulous snoot. He must be a very attractive catch (the bigger the honker, the more sexy he is to females) as his harem is dotted all over the surrounding trees.

The Borneo “Dutchman” (a nickname attributed to his ginger hair, big nose and beer belly) scratches his armpit reflectively and then freezes, as he looks down at us. Several minutes later, he and his consorts are off crashing through the forest.

It’s a brief, but thrilling encounter worth travelling halfway across the globe for.

Kamloops connection to Kangen Water NOURISHING • CLEAN • ALKALINE

Brought out of the darkness AND INTO THE MARVELOUS LIGHT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

I

was reading through the Gospel of Mark and there were two accounts of blind men who received their sight that stood out to me.

The first one is found in Mark 8:22-26 and the second one is in Mark 10:46-52. We’ll look at the blind man from chapter eight first.

The first thing the scripture says about him is that the blind man was from Bethsaida, which is a town in the area known as Galilee.

Bethsaida is also the town where Philip, Andrew and Peter, three of the disciples of the Lord, were from (John 1:44). Bethsaida is one of the towns the Lord warned concerning its lack of response to his great works he did there (Matthew 11:21).

The healing of this unnamed blind man is one of those great works that were done in this town. Mark tells us they brought the blind man to the Lord so he could touch him. The response of Jesus was not expected.

Jesus took the man by the hand and led him outside of town. It would have been quite a sight to see Jesus and the blind man walking together and leaving the town of Bethsaida.

Jesus could have healed the blind man anywhere, but for some unknown reason, Jesus took the man away from the town. It could be that the town of Bethsaida was already in a state of rejection of the saviour, as mentioned earlier.

A thing unique to this miracle happened when Jesus touched the blind man’s eyes. At first, the man could see forms of people, but not clearly. No reason is given for this partial recovery of his sight except the obvious — that Jesus could do whatever he wanted and restore the man’s sight in whatever way he chose.

Then he touched the blind man’s eyes a second time and his sight was fully restored. Jesus wanted to keep the miracle as secret as possible, so he instructed the man to keep it from the people of Bethsaida.

The second miracle in Mark 10:46-52 gives the name of the blind man as Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.

JOHN EGGERS You Gotta Have

FAITH

The location of the miracle was as Jesus was walking out of the town of Jericho with his disciples. This time we read of a great number of people who were present.

Bartimaeus is described as a beggar. His only source of income appears to be whatever people gave him in his time of need. The verses tell us Bartimaeus heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth and cried out, “Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!”

Then we read many of the people charged Bartimaeus to be quiet, but he cried out,“Thou Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Joel 2:32 says, “And it shall

come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.”

Bartimaeus was not going to let anyone or anything keep him from getting to Jesus. Jeremiah 29:13 says, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Then we read that “Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.” So the people said to Bartimaeus, “Be of good comfort, rise; he calls you.” Bartimaeus threw aside his outer coat and came to Jesus.

In the midst of all those people, Jesus asked Bartimaeus what he wanted him to do for him.

Bartimaeus answered: “Lord, that I might receive my sight.”

The account of this by Matthew 20:34 says the Lord touched his eyes and immediately he received his sight. We also read that Bartimaeus then followed Jesus in the way.

These two accounts of miracles remind us of our spiritual blindness. I was watching a live feed from the International Space Station and the ISS was flying through the shadow of Earth on the opposite side of the planet from the sun.

It is marvelous to see the lights of the many cities, but if it wasn’t for the natural light we have provided for ourselves, the cities would be dark places.

Concerning the coming saviour, Isaiah 42:7 says, “To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”

There were three hours of darkness when Jesus suffered on the cross for our sins and he was willing to go through that time of suffering in darkness to open our eyes and bring us out of our darkness and into his marvelous light.

The Keep Kamloops campaign aims to provide a boost to culture, recreation and heritage organizations by publicizing their importance and by encouraging people to donate and participate. We want to “Keep Kamloops” active, creative, and engaged by supporting the organizations that do just that. Our vision is to foster a community that is resilient and supported through COVID-19 by residents who value the contributions that arts, culture, and recreation make to their quality of life and the livability of our community.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ORGANIZATION

KAMLOOPS FESTIVAL OF THE PERFORMING ARTS:

#keepkamloopscreative

ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS IN THE REGION

T

he Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts (KFPA) encourages the development of the performing arts within Kamloops and surrounding areas.

Through a three-week Festival in February/March, the KFPA promotes education and artistic growth for young people in Dance (ballet, modern dance, stage dance); Music (choral, harp, guitar, instrumental, piano, strings, voice); and Speech and Dramatic Arts.

Participants receive adjudication and instruction from highly qualified adjudicators from around BC and Alberta. Eligible entrants

are recommended to advance to the annual provincial festival held in a different BC community each year.

The KFPA is proud to have played a part in developing thousands of young local artists over the past nine decades. Many terrific careers have come out of the participation in the KFPA. Owen Kincade is one such example. After participating in the Kamloops Festival, the 12-year-old advanced to the provincials, and through festival participation he won a scholarship to attend Canada’s National Ballet School this past summer. Owen has recently

been cast as the male lead in James Kudelka’s The Nutcracker with the National Ballet of Canada this December.

Founded in 1930, the KFPA is the city’s longest-running arts festival. Since its creation nine decades ago, 200,000+ aspiring artists have used the festival as a platform to nurture their craft—a platform that would not exist without the support of a herculean team of volunteers, teachers, merchants, service clubs and civic leaders.

Fostering the commitment to practice, the opportunity to participate, and the passion to perform, the KFPA plays a pivotal role in the region’s

cultural development and looks forward to supporting the next generation of artists.

Let’s Keep Kamloops Creative. Visit the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts at www.kfpa.ca to learn how you can volunteer, support, and register for the 2022 Festival.

Follow, share and donate to keep Kamloops active, creative and cultural. Connect with Keep Kamloops online

Keep Kamloops is brought to you by Also sponsored by

“The KFPA helped me learn the value in providing artistic work for others enjoyment. I am a more confident adult in how I speak, think, and perform in the world as a result of my regular involvement in the KFPA as a child.” –Simon Walter, lawyer and mediator keepkamloops.

James (Jim) Barlow

March 29, 1930 - November 6, 2021 The family of James Barlow with heavy hearts announce the passing of a brave soldier who fought through 1 war and many health battles. He has gone to be with Joan his first wife of 56 years who passed away in 2010. An angel of a woman to put up with him and 4 Boys. He will be sorely missed by his amazing, loving 2nd wife Marla, his sons Jay (Luci), Kevin (Vicky), Glen (Sue), Bruce (Janice), grandson Brock and step-family Barb (Ivo) and Cliff (Gloria). There are far too many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren to name who loved him dearly.

Not to be forgotten dad’s best friend Ken Hall who’s smiling face kept him alive while battling cancer.

In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt who passed away on November 6th, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. It has been five years since you were called to a better place.

Your “kidlets” have grown and miss you daily. Your children are parents that reflect your values and kindheartedness. Though you are not here in body, we know you are watching us all. Forever, we will love you.

Love, John, Mary and Doug, Fran, Michael and Tamara, and your “Kidlets.”

GIVE LAVISHLY LIVE ABUNDANTLY

By Helen Steiner Rice The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh, The less you fret, The more you do unselfishly, The more you live abundantly, The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare, The more you love, The more you’ll find, That life is good, And friends are kind, For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day.

Jim was born in Blackpool, England, as a child he spent a lot of play time in bomb shelters. After the war at 17 years of age he joined the British Navy. One of his first tours of duty was on a submarine. Leaving dry dock and entering the English Channel the captain called dive dive, dive the bow planes stuck in full dive and they dove into the bottom of the English Channel. They all survived. It was the beginning of Lucky Jim’s story.

He transferred to the Canadian Navy in 1949. During the war in Korea, he became a Canadian Veteran. He went on the first expedition to Easter Island on the supply ship Cape Scott.

On one tour of duty, he was proclaimed to be the biggest legal coke dealer on the high seas. He was famous in the Canadian and US fleet for a purchase of 50 dollars’ worth of coca cola. It arrived in 2 large delivery trucks. Someone made a mistake.

300 cases of 24 bottles each that filled all available space on the Canadian destroyer. While at sea it soon got out about the availability of coke on the Canadian destroyer and was transferred ship to ship by rope transfer.

He was a lovable man, quick with a story of his adventures and generous to a fault.

He will be missed.

We all love you Lucky Jim. We all want to thank Dr. Dickenson, Dr. Baker, Dr. Devilliers and the nurses in Royal Inland Hospital.

As per his wishes there will be no service.

In the memory of Jim, a donation to the SPCA or visit a Legion and talk to a veteran would be appreciated.

Margaret Gleave On November 4, 2021 our beautiful mother Margaret Frances Winnifred Gleave, born August 15, 1930 was embraced by her beloved husband Fred, daughter Theresa and grandson Christopher.

Mom lived a long and meaningful life raising her six children, which was a career within itself. Her greatest joy in life was to be surrounded by her children Fred (Aileen), Kathy (Don), Karen (Ken), Bon (Dave) and Ron (Brigitte); fourteen grandchildren, thirty great-grandchildren and siblings John, Shirley and Gordon Flann. The meaning of her life was the ability to touch us all with her light and ever endearing love.

We would like to thank the incredible care from Dr. Loland and the staff of 7 North Royal Inland Hospital for giving mom comfort on her final journey. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Herbert Els Herb passed from this life to be with the LORD in the early afternoon of November 8, 2021 while in care at Trinity Care in Kamloops. He was born in September 1941 in Yorkton, SK. He was predeceased by his father Alex, his mother Mary and all his siblings, Eddie (in infancy), sisters Lydia, Mildred, and Loreen as well as several nieces and nephews.

Left to grieve but find solace that he is at peace are his wife Linda, six brothers-in-law, eight sisters-in-law, several cousins, nieces, and nephews to the third generation, and many friends.

He grew up on a farm in the Barvis District near Rhein, SK. His heart was not in farming, he could hear air horns of trucks on the highway and he longed for the freedom of the open road. He became a long haul truck driver which took him to many places and many moves. Yorkton, then Saskatoon, Edmonton where he met his wife, and they were soon off to Whitehorse. He was involved in a horrific truck accident, sustaining a significant brain injury. He went on to train as a heavy-duty mechanic. When the economy in the Yukon took a huge downturn, we moved to Prince George which became home for the next 19 years.

When he was no longer able to do the heavy work of a mechanic, he trained to sharpen shears, scissors and knives which he continued to do until about the last years of his life. It was during this time, we moved to Kamloops making it our home for the last 24 years.

Herb was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church. Although, he strayed away for a time, here turned to church with a renewed faith and deeper understanding of this precious gift which carried him through many turbulent and trying times.

He will be remembered as a kind and gentle man, with a very stubborn streak, philosophical and thoughtful in his outlook on life.

I thank Dr. P. Farrell the wonderful staff at Trinity for the care provided in his last days.

Donations in Herb’s memory can be made to Lord of Life Lutheran Church or Trinity Care.

A Funeral Service took place on Monday, November 15, 2021, at 11:00 pm at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church with an interment that followed at Hillside Cemetery.

Fly Me He understands every mode of force He knows what’s true of the elements He is subtle but genuine at lift off and landing He is an airplane ride blowing through the clouds He is an airplane window that reveals a whole dimension He is a propeller to delve farther deep into the universe like fractals He is an airplane grounded in the sky mighty with fuel He is an airplane engine efficient, sustaining and swift He is a wing of a plane that stabilizes my lift He has an open storage to keep the baggage balanced on flight He has a trap door that releases the body of pain He has a water tank to keep the peace Here is a safe place to crash A ride in the sky at night reveals a bright shiny movement You, my plane, are visible to the naked eye in each spectrum

June 5, 1944 - November 7, 2021

We are very sad to announce that Margaret passed away Sunday, November 7, 2021 after 4 weeks in Royal Inland Hospital.

S Ship The

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!”.

by Henry Van Dyke

THE TIME IS NOW

Margaret was predeceased by her mother in July 1951, father in July 1995 and her husband Robert LeBlanc in November 2010.

Survived by her brothers Bill (Sandra) and Bob (Laura), favourite Uncle Bob, sisters-in-law; Leona, Margarite, Gilles, Georgette, and Ruth, brother-in-law Rene, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Margaret is also survived by her very good friends and fellow Riverbend residents Linda and May. Margaret enjoyed ocean cruises and loved her dogs. She took a trip to Portugal and visited the UK and got to check out some family history. Margaret was strong-willed and had a remarkable memory, she loved to attend Church whenever she was able to. Margaret had a beautiful voice and loved to sing.

Margaret was a Lifetime member of the Kamloops Outdoor Club. In her younger days she liked downhill and crosscountry skiing, hiking, and rock-hounding.

In the most recent 4 plus years, Margaret was on dialysis and spent 4 weeks in Royal Inland Hospital on 6 North. These times were very challenging; however she met those challenges with great strength and enjoyed life. This would not have been possible without a great deal of support, care, comfort, and expertise from: 6 North doctors and nurses at Royal Inland Hospital, The Renal Unit’s doctors, nurses and social workers, Interior Health’s Home Care Nurse and Aids, Riverbend’s Manager, staff and residents.

There will no service at this time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Roberta Barlow 1938 - 2021

On October 2, 2021, the local musical community lost a talented, dedicated pianist, Roberta Barlow. She was born in 1938 in Belleville, ON, to Harold and Marion Mumby, who nurtured in her a love of history, and encouraged an aptitude for piano studies, culminating in courses at McGill and Bishop’s Universities, from which she graduated with a teaching degree and a library science degree. Early on she taught at A.B. Lucas Secondary in London, ON, and played piano with chamber groups in and around Port Hope.

After 5 years teaching, Roberta set off for an adventure, with a girlfriend, on board the “Oriana.” This was to be a lifechanging, ocean-crossing experience taking her to N.Z. and Australia. In N.Z. she sustained her touring by waiting tables, casual office work, and teaching for 3 months in Tokoroa, where she was happily accepted as accompanist for the local operatic society. The fact that she gave up 3 months of her holiday demonstrated her generosity and devotion to music.

Here she met Kelvin who later became her significant partner.

Upon returning to Ontario, she gained the distinction of librarian at Upper Canada College - the first woman to be hired to that prestigious boys school. In 1969 she married Kelvin. Together they taught in North Vancouver. In 1974 a definitive move to Kamloops set the stage for her life-long involvement with so many groups, as a superb accompanist; Kamloops Operatic Society, Kamloops Players, Classy Chassis, United Church Choir, and with Kelvin as conductor, Kamloops Children’s Choir, and Kamloops Choristers. No wonder the “Daily New” nicknamed them “Mr. and Mrs. Music.”

Once spring arrived Roberta would be hard at work in her garden, in Westsyde, putting into practice what she had learned as a Master Gardener. Many students at NorKam Sec., Kam Sr. Sec., and Westsyde Sec, knew her as a dedicated, if demanding, teacher who inspired in them a love of history, no doubt the influence of her father, a history buff, and H.S. principal.

Playing bridge was a passion she enjoyed until recently, even kindly teaching friends as she played. Visitors to her home will recall a welcoming hostess practicing tasty culinary skills.

Roberta considered reaching the summit of the Chilkoot Pass in 1974, after completing a 21 day canoe trip on the Yukon River - Whitehorse to Dawson City - as her “favourite holiday.”

She hiked many of the local high points and canoed local lakes with her dogs.

Sincere thanks to doctors and nurses at RIH, one of whom described her as a “sweetheart of a patient.”

A celebration of life is planned for next spring in her garden.

Memorial donations may be made to Kamloops Symphony Foundation, Box 51, Kamloops, BC V2C 5K3 or World Neighbours Canada, Box 1771, Oliver, BC, V0H 1T0.

Pat (Patricia) Nichol Pat (Patricia) Nichol died peacefully on October 3, 2021. She departed with the love and comfort of family and friends in her final days. Pat was born on February 14, 1930 in Shelton, Washington. She was raised in Kaslo, BC where she completed high school before moving to Calgary to attend business college. Following college, she worked at the courthouse in Quesnel where she met Archie.

They were married in Kaslo on May 20, 1953. After living in Penticton, Kamloops, and Vernon they settled in Ashcroft in 1957, developing many special friendships and raising their two children, Ross and Heather.

Pat was a dedicated receptionist for many years at the medical clinic in Ashcroft. She could often be seen riding her bicycle to and from work and around town. She enjoyed curling, skating, cross-country skiing, Tai Chi and playing cards with friends. Pat had a creative flair and loved decorating, whether it was the house for themed costume parties or decorating her little red Morris Minor convertible for the Ashcroft Stampede parade. She loved all plants, indoor and outdoor, and created a beautiful garden where she spent many happy hours. She shared the abundant harvest of fruit and vegetables, fresh and preserved, with others to enjoy throughout the year.

Pat enjoyed travelling. She and Archie had some wonderful trips abroad, and many local trips in their motorhome, camping and fishing on their own or with family and good friends. Pat recorded many of the good times on her video camera. She and others enjoyed the memories these videos provided, especially in the last few years.

In 2012 Pat and Archie moved to Ridgepointe Retirement residence in Kamloops where they reacquainted with some old friends and made new ones. In 2018, as their needs changed, they moved to Kamloops Seniors Village. In recent years Pat faced health challenges, which she bravely lived with and adapted to, always making the best of her changing situation.

Pat was a loving wife and mother, a friend to many, a good neighbour, and welcomed everyone to their home. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered for her generous and kind spirit, her caring ways and interest in others, her positive energy and sense of fun, and her love of simple pleasures in life. Pat was predeceased by her husband Archie in 2019 and is survived by her son Ross (Patti), daughter Heather (Tom), her sister Heather, and many nieces and nephews and their families.

Mom, you will always be in our hearts.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to Mom’s friends and care providers for their kindness and support. Thank you to the Kamloops Seniors Village staff and the many others who helped Mom so much as her needs increased.

We are hoping to have a celebration of Pat’s life and placement of Pat and Archie’s urns in Ashcroft in the spring.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Is it illegal to scatter Murray’s ashes?

A. You can’t bury ashes in a Federal park, but you can scatter them there.

Otherwise, in BC there are no laws against scattering, except for private property law and, believe it or not, litter law. Never heard of anyone being charged for littering ashes, though.

In Loving Memory of Anna Marchese (Russo) Anna passed away at Royal Inland Hospital on November 14, 2021 after a brief illness. Anna was born in Cosenza, Italy to Luigi and Amelia Russo on October 13,1939.

Anna is predeceased by her parents and her brother Frank.

She is survived by her devoted husband Antonio, sons Rick, George (Judy) and Rocco (Lindsay), grandchildren Sarah (Mark), Jason, (Jaden), Isabella and Lucy, great grandchildren, Bennett, Harper and Leonardo, siblings Rocco (Cheryl), Sam (Theresa), Sylvia (Rick) and Aldo as well as many other extended family.

As the oldest of six children Anna played a large role in caring for her siblings and helping her mother through the difficult post war years in Southern Italy. In 1959, Anna bravely immigrated to Canada to stay with her cousins in Kamloops, BC. She then invited Antonio to join her, and they were married in a small ceremony on New Years Day 1960. Through the challenging years of adjusting to a new country and language, to the raising of three rambunctious boys, and the feeding and spoiling of four grandchildren, Anna remained the constant source of connection and strength for the Marchese family.

She took care of everyone.

In the early 1980s Anna became one of the first vendors at the Kamloops Farmer’s Market. Anna’s garden produce sold hearty homegrown vegetables: carrots, beets, swiss chard, spinach, cucumber and beans. Anna’s stall was best known for her beautiful bouquets of flowers, which have graced many Kamloops homes over the years. Through the Farmers Market, Anna made countless friends.

She will be dearly missed all.

The Funeral Mass will be at Sacred Heart on Monday, November 22, 2021 time yet to be confirmed. (Please call the funeral home for updated information 250-3741454). Graveside to follow at Hillside Cemetery.

Ruth Duveen Burns (née Larson) October 13, 1931 - October 31, 2021

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Ruth Burns on October 31.

Ruth is predeceased by her loving husband of 62 years Jack in 2014. She leaves behind her three children, Debra (Jay) Kamloops, John (Marina) Nanaimo and Lori Kamloops. in addition, Ruth leaves behind seven grandchildren, Erin (Bob), Shayne, Mykah (Bob), Amelia (Neil), Pearce (Stacey), Taylor (Kane) and Caitlin, as well as four great grandchildren Lexie (Dustin), Evan, Archie, Frankie and two great, great grandchildren Lochlan and Briar.

Ruth was born in Chilliwack BC the only child of Isobel (nee Kennedy) and Torsten (Ted) Larson. Her father died in an accident on the Fraser River when she was 10 years old and as a result she and her mother lived with her maternal grandparents. Ruth enjoyed a happy, large family upbringing where she was doted upon. After Grade 12 Ruth completed business college.

Ruth and Jack married in December 1951 in Chilliwack. While raising young children Ruth taught and ran her own ceramic studio. In 1965 Ruth, Jack and their 3 children settled in Kamloops where Jack continued to work for BC Hydro and Ruth began a career with BC Tel. Parallel to work Ruth and Jack partnered in home construction. Ruth drafted plans for 12+ houses that Jack built including several for family and friends. They also had a business venture planning, building and owning two apartment buildings.

Thirteen years after commencing work at BC Tel Ruth became ill with severe rheumatoid arthritis. Despite challenges she continued to indulge her passion in creative activities including her love and talent of arts, literature, gardening, floral arrangements, interior decorating and design, entertaining and travel. Her creative side was always on exhibit via her stylish flair and love of fashion.

Ruth and Jack travelled the world extensively. They also spent winters in Hawaii for decades and when Lori moved to Australia they spent extended holidays there exploring and visiting, sharing time between Australia & their beloved Hawaii.

Ruth had an extraordinary love for getting to know others. She had a strong sense of curiosity, enjoyed current domestic/global affairs and was a liberal thinker. She enjoyed creating traditions from special moments with each grandchild, to celebratory events such as hosting Christmas Eve Cocktail parties. Despite great challenges with her physical health she remained resolute in living a long and abundant life.

Cremation has occurred. A Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held in the summer of 2022.If friends desire, please make a donation to a charity of your choice in memory of Ruth. Mom will forever remain in our hearts.

We will remember our dear Connie as a firecracker who loved a good joke. Her kind heart and infectious laugh brightened our days. Connie had a passion for cheeseburgers, coffee, chocolate, pb&j sandwiches, cozy pajamas and rocking chairs. She loved to shop and go for walks, she would greet passersby with a wave and a cheery, “Hello honey.” Connie enjoyed hosting gatherings where she would inevitably have everyone smiling and laughing. Music was an important part of Connie’s life, from playing piano with her ‘Dad’ to hosting a weekly karaoke gathering with her friends. Connie was at her happiest when listening to music, she would tap her toes, shake her maraca and sing along, she knew the lyrics to an amazing number of songs.

Connie is loved and remembered by her Orcrest family and her friends at Springridge, Waddington and the Chris Rose Adult Program. She leaves us to be reunited with her parents and her lifelong friend Elizabeth Hamilton. Connie will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to have been a part of her life.

We love you Kitty Cat. “You can shed tears because she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.”

Gail Norene “Nini” Hamonic 1943 - 2021

Nini passed away as the sun rose on Sunday, November 14, 2021 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC at the age of 78. Mom was born in Port Arthur, ON on May 25, 1943 to Olga (née Tainio) and Gerald Willan.

Growing up in Nipigon, Snake Falls and High River, mom moved around with her sisters Dale and Pegi before settling in Sointula, BC. at the age of twelve. She grew into adolescence on the small Finnish fishing village filled with a close-knit circle of friends and fond memories of nights camped on the beach, driving one mile of paved road and dances at the hall. Moving to Sudbury to care for her aunt and also living with another aunt in Burnaby, Nini attained her hairdressing licence and settled back in Sointula where she eventually met her husband Gerard “Jerry” Hamonic, also being confirmed in the Catholic faith.

Married in Victoria June 9, 1962 our parents welcomed Wynn, Shawn and then Remi as they settled into Sooke, BC. Ron Lesieur joined the family as a foster son. After the unexpected, early passing of her beloved mother (Olga), Nini travelled with her family to visit Ron and his new wife Penny in Kamloops in the summer of 1974. Arriving into the 104 F degree heat, Mom stated aloud “Well, the sun shines somewhere in B.C.” She loved Kamloops and eventually moved her father to join our family home settling in Barnhartvale in March 1975. Tawd was then born and her family was complete. Anyone that knew mom would agree that everyone was family, and all were welcome at her table.

An avid gardener, our pantry was filled with preserved goods and our table overflowed. Her home was immaculate and yet welcoming, as a natural host and talented chef often themed parties or impromptu gatherings could be enjoyed at our home. During these days, Nini worked at Kmart, Weight Watchers, and she joined Jerry to do books at “Jerry’s Autobody & Paint”. They eventually opened “Gerard’s Coffee House” in 1983 where her culinary skills saved the family home as people lined up for her soups and pastries. Mom then went on to get her Class 2 with air and drove school bus for St. Ann’s Academy which served her as volunteering during Canada Games.

Enjoying Judo, skiing at Tod Mountain, and helping fundraise (with Jerry) for the building of Holy Family Parish, mom found her real calling at Action Construction as she moved from a one-woman accounting department to a senior staff with her Associate Bachelor degree as Accounting Technician. In the late 1990s she embarked on another business with Jerry as SunStar Shuttle took skiiers from YKA to Sun Peaks Resort. Selling this business in 2008, mom and dad were able to travel more; having driven a camper full of kids to British Honduras in December 1973, across Canada with a van full of kids in 1981, The original Love Boat to Virgin Islands, throughout Europe, Finland, The Holy Land, Japan, China, Mexico, and finally Hawaii. During these years Nini was well known to the International Student community as host mother to over 100 students who stayed (and ate) with mom from 1993-2016.

Mom’s faith was a source of strength and solace to her family and she never denied anyone a helping hand.

As eucharistic minister visiting the sick at RIH she was truly “one who lived her faith”. Continuing to do accounting up until the week she died, Nini did books for Mike “Rust Valley Restorers” Hall, Jason “Powder Ventures” White, Dr. Paul Hunter at Summit Vet, and also Total Vent and Green Tower “Wizards” Cannabis. Mom, having raised her last two children as a single mom, was also instrumental in helping care for and raise her three grandchildren while Remi and Shawn were each busy also as single parents.

Passionate about animals she had many pets and fed “her birds” every day.

Predeceased by Olga and Gerald Willan, several aunts, uncles and cousins, her sister and brother-in-law Dale and Bob Dixon, and her great nephew Justin Morgan, she leaves to mourn her passing; her life-long companion Jerry Hamonic and children Wynn, Shawn, Remi and Tawd (Nicole Cherneski) with Ron and Penny Lesieur and their children Raquel (Wayne), Jay (Angela) and Krystal (Cody) with grandchildren Aliyah (Wyatt) and Graeden Nute, and Peter Hamonic. Also grieving her is sister Pegi Willan, nieces Cheryl (Dave) Lionas, Adele Dixon, Destini Willan, and nephews Malaki and Erin Swales, cousins in the Lanyon family and many family, friends and homestay children around the world.

The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the paramedics, RIH nursing staff in Emergency, CCU, 7-North, 4-North (Tasha) and our deep appreciation goes to the Respiratory Therapy Department, Dr. Kambo, Dr. Nair, Dr. Pun, Dr. Chow, Dr. Prasad, Dr. Ortved, Dr. Hack, Dr. Wong and to Dr. Gabriel, Tracey Stone and the team at the Cancer Clinic. Mom was in RIH in April 2021 and now again this October. We cannot say enough to convey our appreciation for the team at RIH, they treated us like family. Lastly, thank you to Sacred Heart and Holy Family Parishes, especially to Father Fred Weisbeck for being with mom at her most crucial time.

Prayers will be recited on Sunday, November 21, 2021 at 5:00 pm with Funeral Mass on Monday, November 22, 2021 at 11:00 am both at Holy Family Parish. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the RIH Foundation on behalf of the Respiratory Therapy department, to the Holy Family Parish roofing fundraiser, or feed the birds outside your door and think of Mom.

Eleanor White With great sadness, we announce the passing of Eleanor May White (O’Hara) on November 8, 2021.

Left to mourn are her nine children: Nancy (Jerry), Marj (John-2018), Marty (Lily), Mary-Jo (Ron), Gordie, Kathy (Dan), Frank, John (Barb), and Colleen.

She leaves twenty-four grandchildren, thirty-six great-grandchildren, and seven great, great-grandchildren. She always remembered everyone’s birthday including their spouses. She will be missed by so many more than we can mention. If you met Eleanor you were her friend.

She was predeceased by her first born Terry Orville in 1946.

Her first husband Orville Wesley passed away after 46 years of marriage in 1991. Three years later she remarried another good man, Vernon Warren. They started out travelling the country in their RV. Sadly he died after only 15 months of marriage.

Eleanor was born in Castor, Alberta, in 1926 and spent most of her childhood years in Owen Sound, Ontario. Eleanor always had an adventurous spirit, in 1943 at a mere 17 years old, she trained as a stenographer then fearlessly left home and joined the war effort in Ottawa; working in the war offices.

After marrying, Eleanor and Orville started to have their children, they lived in several different provinces before settling in British Columbia for the rest of their lives. Eleanor possessed the Irish wit in abundance; she was true to her Irish heritage, and she loved to make people laugh.

Eleanor returned to the work force and until 1981 worked with the RCMP’s Security Intelligence Service division, here in Kamloops. When she was asked what she did exactly, her response was always “the secrecy of my job prevents me from knowing what I’m doing”. We’re all pretty sure she was a secretary, we think. After retiring Eleanor somehow talked Orville into buying the Wildwood Fishing Resort, at Loon Lake,BC. “Something to do in retirement” she said. But it was a lot of work! Many family members have fond memories of helping with the day-to-day operations, throughout the years.

Eleanor has a zest for life and travelled to Russia and Ireland in her quest to see the world. She loved to tell people she was the same age as the Queen and had the royal wave down to perfection. She drove across Canada at the age of 75 so she could see the Pope in Toronto.

Eleanor’s motto was “A stranger was just a friend she hadn’t met yet”. Even up to the end Eleanor’s quick wit was to be admired. She loved to talk and tell beautiful stories. One story Eleanor loved to tell was when she was president of the Kamloops Bantam Hockey Tournament’s Women’s Auxiliary, she was over the moon when not only did Prime Minister Trudeau Sr. attend a game, but she got to serve him and his wife tea. And yes, she made them laugh too!

We have comfort in knowing that our dear Eleanor received wonderful care and attention from the staff at Overlander Extended Care. We are forever grateful for the staff working on the Orchard Grove wing. We saw your love and we thank you. You know how special you were to her.

While we are grieving, we are thankful to have had this wonderful woman in our lives, she will be missed. The family is very grateful for the devotion Marj gave to Eleanor in her later years. We are also thankful that Marj and Lily were able to hold her hand as she passed.

We will celebrate her life in the spring, at a place she loved, the White house on the river.

Thanks for wearing a mask, for everyone!
