SHELTERING THOSE IN NEED DAVE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Y Women’s Emergency Shelter helps women and children escape violent and abusive situations and aids in transitioning them to a new phase of life.

Support from the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund makes a big difference for the centre.

To date this year, the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter has supported 52 families and 63 women without children — feeding, housing, clothing and providing support for them.

Having worked with the women’s emergency shelter for the past 18 years, Jacquie Brand recently assumed her new role as general manager.

“It has been an interesting year,” Brand said. “Just like for everybody else around the world.”

She credits her hard-working colleagues for the shelter’s efforts over the past year to help so many people in need.

“As much as the women and children we work with are resilient, so are the staff,” Brand said. “We’re really lucky to have some amazing individuals that are present for the women, who are dedicated to the work and the kids.”

In March of 2020, when the pandemic first started, the women’s shelter was offered expansion sites, Brand said, which meant they could house children and families in the event they had COVID-19.

“It was amazing that we actually had another site where we could put families in and be able to still support the 23 people that we’re funded for,”

Here’s how to help a great cause

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Brand said.

Since then, the additional expansion site has helped to provide housing when the shelter is at full capacity.

Brand said money received through this year’s KTW Christmas Cheer Fund will go toward meeting specific needs of families being helped.

It will provide items such as gift cards, medications for allergies or sensitive diets, baby formula and crafts and games for the kids.

The organization is also hoping to purchase a few new beds and, at some point, will need a new industrial-size dryer.

Brand said the community has been always been phenomenal in its response to need.

“You always are concerned when there are things that happen, like floods and fires and how that’s going to affect the most vulnerable,” Brand said.

“Our community, they never even miss a step. They just keep on giving, seeing how much more they can do. Christmas Cheer, I just really like the name because it gives cheer all year long. Not to be too cheesy, but it really does.”

Brand said money from the Cheer Fund is what helps nonprofits keep going throughout the year.

“And it sometimes can make or break them,” Brand said.

Charities being supported this year: Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Brain Injury Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism and Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. To donate, go online to bcicf.ca/kamloops-this-week-christmascheer-fund. Donations are accepted online thanks to a partnership with the BC Interior Foundation.

SD73 completes survey as part of mandate study SEAN BASS

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

School District 73 has reported the results of an employee survey on the possibility of a vaccine mandate in the district for teachers and other staff.

The board collected information on COVID-19 cases and associated age groups to gauge whether implementing a mandate would be worthwhile, concluding there is enough evidence to support further consideration.

That collection of information and the subsequent survey was part of the district’s first step of a five-step process in determining whether to implement a mandate.

The report was presented to the SD73 board of education on Nov. 22. It concluded that a vaccination policy would have a significant impact on the district’s ability to adequately

staff its facilities and that a rapid-testing protocol would impose a financial cost to the district.

The report found 92 per cent of all district staff are partially or fully vaccinated.

That figure comprises a number of employee groups, including teachers (92 to 95 per cent vaccinated), school and district support staff (90 per cent), custodians (79 per cent), bus drivers (81 per cent), grounds and trades workers (85 per cent), IT and communications staff (90 per cent) and administrators (100 per cent).

Associate superintendent Shayne Olsen said some employee groups pose greater risk to shortages than others, citing existing struggles in hiring certified education assistants.

He said in the current school year, the district has more than 500 unfilled requests for CEAs, noting training to fill vacated positions would take time.

Bus drivers are another

A7

concern. Although the majority of drivers who responded indicated they were partially or fully vaccinated, only 39 per cent of that group responded to the survey.

Olsen said finding bus drivers is difficult in Kamloops, but even more difficult in rural areas.

Custodians are another group of concern. With 79 per cent indicating their status as vaccinated, the district stands to lose 28 custodians in total if a mandate were to be put in place.

“In the short term, it would be unlikely we’d be able to replace that large number of custodians,” Olsen said.

As for teachers, the report highlighted concerns over the low number of teachers teaching on call (TTOCs) who are qualified to teach subjects such as tech education and French immersion.

In general, though, the district could cover its losses with TTOCs.

That perplexing prairie home companion

S

he wrinkled her nose as though she smelled something offensive when I told her I was from Abbotsford.

We were in North Vancouver’s Avalon Hotel piano bar in the mid1990s, a lounge us 20-somethings called Divorce Court, since it often hosted many older women cupping martinis with ringless fingers.

Her reaction was common back then when one crossed the urban/rural divide that was the Port Mann Bridge.

That wrinkled nose is also a reflexive bodily action today as people drive through Abbotsford.

But that reaction is to the smell of money, as we always said, and you could fine-tune your nostrils to identify which excrement — beef, pork or poultry — was the odour du jour.

The smell of money, indeed.

In Abbotsford, a bit of manure on the boots meant there was likely money in those jeans, something that divorcée in North Vancouver probably never understood.

(It took time, of course. After Sumas Lake was drained in 1924 to create the prairie, tobacco and hops were dominant crops that eventually gave way to more lucrative dairy, beef and poultry operations.)

Growing up in Abbotsford, there were certain numbers that were always important. The digits of 1 and 11 were the two highways that took you to far more interesting places.

But other numbers were always there to remind you of what can happen, and does happen, again

Sumas Lake before it was drained in 1924. A good read on its history is Chad Reimer’s book, Before We Lost The Lake.

THE REACH GALLERY PHOTO

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS and again. In the buckle of the Bible Belt, those numbers are 1894, 1948, 1972, 1990, 1999 and, now, of course, 2021.

Those numbers remind you Mother Nature can reclaim what is hers any time she wishes.

Every person reading these words has likely been nourished at some point by what has sprouted on Sumas Prairie, be it cheese, chicken or milk.

The famous berries of Abbotsford are generally grown elsewhere and are not subject to the flooding that has now absorbed all of that rich agricultural land.

Blueberries are largely found on another prairie — Matsqui — which is on the other side of the growing city, to the north as you go toward Mission. The famous strawberries and raspberries are generally cultivated on higher land farther west of Sumas Prairie, on the south side of Highway 1, in fields extending all the way to the Canada-U.S. border.

would learn with the Sumas Prairie kids. When the bell rang, we’d walk home and the farm kids would be driven down the hill to their farmhouses on vast tracts of land.

I suppose they had chores to do while we played street hockey until dinner was ready.

The names of those farm families still resonate: the Verdonks, the Fooks, the Lamsons, the Campbells. The family farm of the iconic mayor of Abbotsford, George Ferguson, who led the city for three decades, is on that prairie.

That same prairie has also been the scene of tragedy, heroism and horror. There have been countless accidents, numerous fires and, of course, far too many floods.

There was the great blizzard of December 1996, in which those farm families saved lives by pulling into their homes stranded travellers stuck in a few feet of snow amid vicious winds and freezing temperatures.

That prairie was also the scene of perhaps the most gruesome murder case I’ve ever covered in

court as a reporter, a killing involving a jealous, estranged husband, a not quite fully dead wife and the severing of the latter’s limbs and their disposal into a manure pit, where the acid did its work to make the physical evidence disappear.

But that prairie was also the playground of many city kids, the destination of an achingly long hot summer’s day bike ride to visit the slough in Hougen Park, diving into which, in retrospect, probably wasn’t the healthiest decision.

It wasn’t until we were older when we learned that to get this rich prairie, something had to be taken. We now know Sumas Prairie is only there because the lake was removed, a lake that was for centuries of vital importance to the Sumas First Nation.

We went to school with kids from that reserve. They were from Kilgard, which is on the lower south side of Sumas Mountain overlooking the prairie.

We would all play in the schoolyard in the city, the prairie and its liquid ancestor never part of the

conversation. As we got older and read a bit more, we understood something was taken from them so we could have milk with those bedtime cookies.

Our history tells of an annoyingly wide and shallow lake good for nothing more than breeding mosquitoes. Their history, that of the Neds, the Silvers and the Isaacs, tells of a vital food source and transportation link.

JD Archer’s article on the fascinating Vancouver Traces website tells us that, prior to the lake’s drainage, the Sto:lo people enjoyed its bounty of salmon, sturgeon, waterfowl, elk and deer. Archer notes there were at least four villages around the lake, including, ingeniously, one built on platforms in the middle of the water to provide refuge from mosquitos.

But at the turn of the 20th century, more than 100 years ago, talk by European settlers of draining the lake for agricultural purposes drew this warning from Sumas First Nation Chief Ned as he spoke to the McKenna-McBride Commission.

As Archer notes, Ned said, “I am against the diking because that will mean more starvation for us.”

Think of that irony when you see empty grocery store shelves due in part to the return, however temporarily, of Sumas Lake. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

A HUGE THANK YOU FED UP WITH LACK OF ACTION TO THE SAVIOURS Editor: Having read in Kamloops This Week about the wonderful community service awards presented by the city, I feel it necessary to also applaud the many special groups for their astounding work this past firestorm summer.

While we continue to give heartfelt thanks to our medical teams, firefighters and frontline workers for their efforts this past summer, we must also thank the volunteers, who are busy again helping flood victims due to the unprecedented rainstorm and associated damage on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15.

Volunteers with Kamloops Emergency Support Service (ESS) worked thousands of hours between June 29 and Oct. 5, supporting wildfire evacuees.

Sale of pulp mill part of merger approval The Domtar pulp mill is on Mission Flats Road in Kamloops. It is one of the largest employers in the city, with a workforce of about 350 and a property tax bill of approximately $5 million per year.

KTW FILE PHOTO

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said he will be waiting to see who buys the pulp mill, which will not occur until 2022.

While the merger of Domtar and Paper Excellence has been approved by the Competition Bureau of Canada, part of the approval means the Kamloops pulp mill must be sold to a third party.

On May 11, 2021, Paper Excellence and Domtar, based in Montreal and Fort Mill, S.C., reached an agreement for Richmond-based Paper Excellence to purchase Domtar for $55.50 per share, a deal worth about $3 billion in United States currency.

“I had every confidence in Domtar,” Christian said, “I had confidence in Paper

Excellence and now we’ll see who the new buyer is and, once we have that established, I want to meet with them because there is a number of initiatives that we have ongoing with the Domtar management team and we want to make sure that those will continue.”

Christian noted “land

initiatives,” about which he could not speak, but also mill improvements and changes to the city’s property tax formula.

The mill pays about $5 million per year in property taxes, which Christian equated to about a four per cent tax increase for every home in the city.

“One of the things that we’ve been talking to them a lot, and we’ve been working with them to lobby the government on, is chip supply,” he said.

“We’ve also been working with them on a lot of their climate and environmental initiatives and we’ve been working with them on some of their energy initiatives. I’m confident that it’s probably a good buy for someone who is looking for a pulp mill. It’s well run and they have a very stable kind of workforce. I think it would be pretty sought after.”

The Competition Bureau of Canada has concluded that the merger would likely lessen competition substantially for

the purchase of wood fibre — a key input in the manufacture of pulp — from the Thompson/ Okanagan region.

As a result, the bureau has determined the proposed transaction is anti-competitive because it would enable Paper Excellence to pay lower than competitive prices to sawmills and other suppliers of wood fibre in a region where Paper Excellence already has a high concentration of pulp mills.

To resolve the bureau’s concerns, Paper Excellence has agreed to sell Domtar’s Kamloops pulp mill following its acquisition.

The bureau said the sale will be made to an independent purchaser to be approved by the Commissioner of Competition.

The pulp mill on Mission Flats Road is one of the city’s largest employers, with about 350 employees.

Vaccines approved for kids ages five to 11 FOLLOWING A RIGOROUS REVIEW, THE VACCINE HAS PROVEN TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR CHILDREN KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A COVID-19 vaccine for children ages five to 11 has been approved by Health Canada.

The approval means that approximately 360,000 children will soon be able to get vaccinated.

In a statement, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said following a rigorous review, the vaccine has proven to be safe and effective.

Recent case data shows the two age groups that have seen the highest rates of infection in the province are five- to eight-year-olds and nine- to 11-yearolds — though both have fallen sharply since early October, when they spiked at a rate of about 40 cases per 100,000.

Other age groups averaged about 23 per 100,000 or lower during that peak.

The age group up to four years, meanwhile, has tracked with most other age groups throughout the pandemic.

“While children are at a lower risk of severe disease from COVID-19, it can

still result in serious outcomes in some children, including hospitalization and long-term symptoms,” reads the statement from the two top B.C. health officials.

COVID-19 cases among school-aged children have caused a number of interruptions in schools, with school exposure notifications being a regular occurrence throughout the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years.

Currently, Kamloops has exposure notifications for five schools across 12 days in November.

Those deemed close contacts in exposures often have to stay home and wait to see if symptoms will arise, and recovery from infections could take weeks.

Parents are encouraged to register their children using the same system they used to receive their COVID-19 vaccine.

To register, go online to getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca or call 1-833838-2323. To date, 75,000 childre have been registered in the system.

No timeline has been provided, but those registered will receive an invite

to book an appointment once plans for the campaign are in place.

TRU investigating multi-person complaint 13 CURRENT, FORMER EMPLOYEES CITE MYRIAD ALLEGATIONS AGAINST TWO SENIOR EXECUTIVES JESSICA WALLACE

The response from the university

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

hompson Rivers University’s board of governors has initiated an investigation after a number of current and former employees — at least 13 — filed a complaint against two senior administrators.

The complaint alleges discriminatory conduct, discriminatory statements and/or harassment on the part of Matt Milovick, the university’s vice-president of finance and administration, and Larry Phillips, the university’s associate vice-president of people and culture.

The complaint alleges incidents of sexual harassment of female servers, misogynistic references to women and disparagment of Indigenous people at TRU and in the community, among other purported incidents. None of the allegations in the complaint have been proven as the university’s investigation into the matter continues.

On Feb. 8 of this year, an anonymous complaint was made to the board, whic is currently composed of TRU’s chancellor (Nathan Matthew), president and vice-chancellor (Brett Fairbairn), eight people appointed by the province (Hee-Young Chung, Katy Gottfriedson, Jim Hamilton, Kathy Humphrey, Kathy Kendall, Lillian Kwan, Chief Jimmy Lulua and Marilyn McLean), two faculty members (Tracy Christianson and Hasnat Dewan), two students (Adam Burke and Bhavika Jain) and one person elected by non-faculty university employees (Jasmine Haskell). It is responsible for overseeing university affairs.

Matt Milovick is vice-president of finance and administration at TRU.

Larry Phillips is TRU’s associate vice-president of people and culture.

Kamloops This Week received a copy of that complaint, which was sent from the email address “truwhistleblower@protonmail.com” to the board of governors and signed by “concerned members of the TRU community in solidarity with the complainants.”

Between February and November, KTW interviewed many of the complainants, who detailed their experiences. KTW has agreed to withhold their identities as they fear career repercussions. KTW will not publish specifics of the complaints at this time.

KTW contacted Milovick for comment.

“Having just received the Terms of Reference yesterday (Nov. 21), I understand that the TRU board of governors will begin or has begun a confidential investigation into my professional conduct. I welcome the opportunity to fully participate in this process. I will not be making any further comments at this time,” he said.

KTW called Phillips, but could not connect as messages were left with each other.

Thompson Rivers University associate law professor Charis Kamphuis has been supporting

the group of complainants. She is not being paid by the complainants, nor is she the group’s lawyer.

Kamphuis said she first had questions about Phillips following work by her spouse in the 20182019 school year assessing university policies and practices with respect to human rights, equity and inclusion.

Milovick and Phillips are among the highest-ranking officials at the university.

Milovick leads TRU’s administrative operations and, on the university’s organizational chart, is one step down from the top, a slot occupied by president and vice-chancellor Fairbairn. Milovick manages TRU’s $238-million budget.

Phillips oversees hiring and firing of a university with 2,000-plus employees, including faculty, support staff and administration. He is also responsible for championing values across the institution.

Kamphuis said she is supporting the complainants and speaking out due to concern about the investigation that is underway and a desire for accountability.

In response to a request for comment, Thompson Rivers University provided this statement to KTW: Soon after the allegations were received via an anonymous email, an independent sub-committee was established to investigate this issue. The sub-committee, which has operated at arm’s length to ensure that impartiality and objectivity are upheld, has been investigating this matter with the guidance of an independent investigator, as well as an independent Indigenous investigator, along with legal counsel.

“TRU takes such matters very seriously. The sub-committee acted quickly and went to great lengths to ensure that all these independent resources have extensive experience handling similar matters, while having no prior relationships with TRU,” said Marilyn McLean, chair of the board of governors at TRU. “Furthermore, the sub-committee has worked together with the independent and Indigenous investigators and legal counsel to put all appropriate and defensible safeguards in place for the complainants, in order to the maintain the integrity of the investigation.”

Throughout this process, the sub-committee has remained fully cognizant of the need for privacy, for those against whom the allegations have been levelled, as well as for the complainants. Given the serious nature of the allegations, the sub-committee has followed, and will continue to follow, a methodical process where independent investigators gather information from complainants and follow-up with complainants to ensure the information the investigators have collected is accurate.

“At this time, these allegations need to be proven, confirmed and substantiated. Until such time as the investigation is complete and the findings and recommendations are made, it would be unfair and unjust for any action to be taken against these individuals,” indicated McLean.

TRU is committed to having the investigation conducted in a comprehensive, objective, impartial, safe, confidential and fair manner and within an appropriate time frame. It is expected that the sub-committee will reach its findings in the first quarter of the new year. However, the investigation will continue until such time as the investigators feel they have exhausted all avenues and, if required, may extend beyond the first quarter of 2022.

“While expediency is important, thoroughness is equally important, which means that the process will not be rushed if that will sacrifice or compromise the sub-committee’s ability to fully investigate these allegations,” added McLean.

Complainants, TRU at odds over anonymity Thompson Rivers University associate law professor Charis Kamphuis has been supporting the group of complainants. She is not being paid by the complainants, nor is she the group’s lawyer.

From A12

Kamphuis said problems with the investigation include a refusal to exclude Fairbairn and general counsel John Sparks, who she maintains are in a conflict of interest.

Kamphuis also cited intimidating correspondence, months’ worth of delays, limiting access to the final investigation report to a board of governors sub-committee and refusal to protect complainant anonymity.

“We’re talking about allegations that there is a toxic culture at the highest level of the university and allegations that the governance, or the accountability measures, to address that have not functioned properly, so, I think, the broader community has an interest in ensuring this investigation is done well,” Kamphuis said.

“And that, if there are findings of misconduct, accountability occurs.”

Kamphuis has spoken to 13 complainants. She said she does not know most of the complainants, noting the majority of the complainants do not know one another.

Seven or eight of the complainants were involved in the investigation by TRU at the time KTW spoke to Kamphuis, while others were considering.

Some complainants declined participation after a request for anonymity was denied by the university.

Correspondence from former board of governors chair Barbara

Berger — who was one of three board of governors members on a sub-committee overseeing the complaint — to the concerned members in support of the complainants expressed concern about the group’s desire for anonymity.

On April 1, Berger wrote that it is “problematic” that the group remains anonymous.

“We have informed you of our position on continued anonymity — i.e., that anonymity is not required to ensure a fair, traumainformed process and nor is it appropriate as it fails entirely to respect the rights of the respondents or to allow for a proper investigation,” Berger wrote.

An April 27 response from the concerned members stated: “From the perspective of the complain-

ants, you continue to impose barriers to a safe and accessible investigation that accounts for the complainants’ diverse circumstances, vulnerabilities, legitimate fear of retaliation, and the psychological impacts of the misconduct they have witnessed.

“There is an unequal power relationship between the complainants on one side and the respondents and TRU on the other, yet you insist on treating the respondents and the complainants as equals in your design of the process.”

Furthermore, the email noted: “There is widespread societal recognition that traditional institutional complaint and oversight mechanisms do not work. It is common for victims to remain

silent or leave the organization, and for perpetrators to remain in positions of power.

“This societal problem is evidenced by the fact that situations of abuse and misconduct have persisted for many years in many Canadian institutions, as reported by the media in recent years. Thus, the systemic problem at hand is not one of fabricated allegations, but rather the silence and fear of victims and the impunity of perpetrators.”

Berger wrote back in May, stating the board of governors and sub-committee had retained Vancouver-based lawyer, Jennifer Wiegele of Mathews Dinsdale and Clark LLP, to provide independent legal advice, noting communication to follow would come from

the lawyer.

Terms of reference outlining the investigation underway state confidentiality would be maintained when reasonably possible, but that “anonymity cannot be guaranteed.”

Complainants who spoke to KTW expressed fear of personal and professional ramifications and pointed to Phillips and Milovick being well-connected in Kamloops and their continued work at the university during the investigation.

Kamphuis said the complainants went to the board of governors because multiple people initially voiced concerns about Phillips and Milovick directly to TRU president Fairbairn.

“And what I’ve heard from those complainants, what we learned, is that the concerns they expressed were not investigated,” Kamphuis said.

“And that there was little or no follow-up. Furthermore, Larry was promoted to the position of AVP people and culture after both Matt, the VP finance who he reports to, and the president were aware of serious concerns and complaints. So those pieces were obviously of great concern.

“The other thing that we learned is that, in some cases, people who expressed concerns have been dismissed and, in some cases, they had been, as part of their severance agreement, made to sign a non-disparagement agreement, so an agreement that says that they basically, for the rest of their life, won’t speak negatively about TRU in any forum.”

The TRU investigation terms of reference JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW has reviewed a copy of the investigation’s terms of reference, which details the process of the investigation

by Thompson Rivers University’s board of governors into the complainants’ allegations.

The terms of reference state that, following the complaint in February of this year, the board of governors struck a sub-committee to address the matter.

The sub-committee was composed

of former board of governors chair Barb Berger, Nathan Matthew and Marilyn McLean (current board chair), but Berger’s term on the TRU board of governors has since expired.

The subcommittee then appointed an independent representative with no previous ties to TRU — Jennifer Wiegele of Mathews Dinsdale and Clark LLP — to assist in retaining lawyers Kelly Serbu of Serbu Law Firm Limited and Sharon Cartmill-Lane of Pearlman Lindholm LLP, who would investigate.

According to the terms of reference, the investigation would

occur through two stages.

First, it would include an initial inquiry focused on collecting information to determine the scope of the investigation.

Complainants could meet with the investigators either virtually or in person over a 30-day period, beginning on Aug. 16. That process, however, has faced delays After receiving the details, the terms of reference state the investigators would assess the alleged conduct and commentary in the context of the BC Human Rights Code, TRU’s Values and

Vision Plan, the memorandum of understanding between TRU and Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, TRU’s equity, diversity and inclusion action plan, TRU’s respectful workplace and harassment prevention policy, TRU’s sexualized violence policy, TRU’s whistleblower policy and the BC Workers’ Compensation Act and Worksafe BC Occupational Safety and Health policies respecting bullying and harassment.

Kamphuis said the investigators are currently interviewing complainants.

She does not know when the process was expected to conclude.

Waiving NDAs a victory for complainants STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University law professor Charis Kamphuis said she is aware of more than one non-disparagement agreement connected to one of the complainants.

The law professor explained such agreements are typically used by the private sector to protect company trade secrets when employees leave to go to competitor organizations.

However, Kamphuis noted,

NDAs are problematic in holding people to account because they intimidate individuals and prevent them from speaking out about what happened.

University of Windsor law professor Julie Macfarlane has launched a campaign called “Can’t buy my silence” to ban NDAs in the context of discrimination and harassment allegations and legislation has been tabled in Prince Edward Island to prohibit or limit agreements in that context.

The goal is to put forward similar legislation in every

province in Canada.

NDAs have been criticized amidst the #MeToo movement since stories broke about disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, who had for years been rumoured to be abusing women trying to make it in Hollywood and used NDAs as a tool behind which to hide.

Since the allegations came to light, via reporting in the New York Times and the New Yorker, including through the breaking of NDAs, Weinstein has been convicted of rape and is in prison.

investigation was the board’s decision to waive NDAs, which meant their existence could be disclosed and the allegations could be discussed.

Without that waiver, those individuals would not have been able to participate in the investigation.

Nine months after the first complaint was lodged, however, Kamphuis said she wonders how many others have since been silenced and what potential harm has been done to those who continue to work at TRU.

Kamphuis called NDAs a “problematic legal device” — even more so when it comes to public institutions.

“It’s student tuition and taxpayer money that is being used to finance these agreements,” Kamphuis said.

“In my view, the fact that we know that this practice has occurred at TRU raises a very serious duty on the board of governors to review the practice and to enact a policy to prohibit it.”

Downtown business owners are being asked to approve a 26 per cent increase in levies over five years for the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

The increase impacts businesses and light industrial between Columbia Street and the South Thompson River and between First Avenue and 10th Avenue.

KCBIA president Dino Bernardo said the increase is due to inflation costs and a new requirement by the city to provide audited year-end reports.

Bernardo said the new audited reports will cost the non-profit $5,000, equating to 7.5 per cent of the increase. The remaining 18.5 equates to the cost of inflation for wages and putting on events, such as the Santa Claus Parade and the Fourth Avenue Plaza initiative.

Inflation this year has been estimated to be between four and five

per cent. Meanwhile, the KCBIA levies fund wages for an executive director, marketing co-ordinator, front desk staff and the CAP team.

Insurance has also increased.

Some are questioning the increase. Kamloops Voters Society member Leslie Lax criticized city council for a lack of discussion when a bylaw to authorize the levy increase was read at an Oct. 19 meeting.

The bylaw was read for the first three times. In effect, it launched a petition process by which impacted downtown property owners who are opposed can sign within 30 days.

City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said the city collects the levies on behalf of the KCBIA, but it does not determine the KCBIA budget. The levy is charged through a line item on property taxes to class five and class six owners, which is commercial and light industrial. The boundary of the KCBIA levy is not proposed to change.

For the renewal of the KCBIA levy

to not proceed, a majority of owners, representing at least 50 per cent of the parcels and at least 50 per cent of the assessed value of land and improvements subject to the levy, must submit petitions within a 30-day period.

Kent Taylor is part owner of the Big Boot Inn building downtown and operates a business out of the second floor on that building. He said the levy hike looks big, but it noted depends on how it is calculated. Twenty-six per cent is a big number, Taylor said, but the costs are minimal per building.

Bernardo noted his levy will increase by $90 over five years.

Taylor said it is “manageable” when weighing the cost and the benefits.

He noted the Christmas Storybook presentation last year, which drew people downtown through the holidays. He said the downtown core has problems with homelessness and any initiatives that help to bring families, shoppers and building tenants into the core is worth the added cost.

Trail that connects Schubert Drive to Westmount.

BC Housing is also planning shelters in the former Greyhound building in Southgate and the former Stuart Wood elementary downtown.

Westmount resident Dennis Hayes said he represents 20 to 25 Westmount residents who fear impacts on homes, businesses, elementary schools, Rivers Trail and park space. Hayes said BC Housing should have come to the neighbourhood and detailed plans, which could be in place for five years.

“It’s not the way things should be done,” he said.

BC Housing senior communications advisor Sophie Carrigan Gray cited in an email statement insufficient time for consultation.

She said neighbours and business owners have since been notified,

adding that BC Housing and the city are planning neighbourhood information sessions.

City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin told KTW residents have made it clear they do not want shelters in their neighbourhoods.

“Because we know what everyone thinks about every location,” Trawin said. “Right? There is no good location.”

Trawin said the city has been pushing the province because Memorial Arena is currently being used as a shelter and the city wants the recreational facility returned to its intended use.

In addition, Trawin said winter is approaching and the city is short about 90 shelter spaces.

Trawin said someone without shelter died on the streets during a recent cold snap.

Trawin said the province indicated it did not have time for rezoning — and the public hearing process that would have given citizens a chance to voice opposition — or NEW MAGAZINES FOR EVERYONE! permits and, as a result, the province asked the city if it opposed use of paramountcy 743 VICTORIA ST • 250-377-8808 for the Kingston Avenue property.

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian could not be contacted by press deadline.

Council voted to authorize lease of city land on Kingston Avenue to BC Housing. The vote happened during a closed meeting and the decision has yet to be released. Trawin could not detail the vote, but said the decision was not unanimous.

Coun. Denis Walsh said he supports the Greyhound and Stuart Wood shelter locations, but noted he voted against the Kingston Avenue shelter proposal. Walsh said North Kamloops is overloaded with high-risk housing and the project interferes with economic development in the area.

Walsh added that council heard a property owner is backing off plans for industrial development since the shelter announcement.

The question remains: Why was BC Housing caught flatfooted when the number of street individuals was known back in April and winter comes every year? Hayes said Kamloops should follow the City of Penticton, which is standing up to BC Housing through the courts.

Walsh agreed.

“We should push back as a council,” he said.

Coun. Dale Bass, however, said the city can’t tell BC Housing what to do.

“Municipal governments are creations of the provincial governments, so they answer to the provincial governments,” Bass said. “So, yeah, Penticton can take them to court, but does that mean they’re going to win?

Doubtful …”

Kamloops dentist permanently barred from sedating patients MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops dental surgeon disciplined for improperly sedating a young woman during a routine operation, leaving her with a lifelong severe brain injury, is now permanently banned from sedating patients due to infractions in 2019.

In 2015, Dr. Bobby Rishiraj was suspended from his practice for three months by the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. and ordered to pay a fine of $50,000 and costs of $50,891.30. The reprimand came after a botched procedure in November 2012 during a wisdom teeth removal procedure involving an 18-year-old patient.

Hamu Zindoga went into cardiac arrest during the procedure and, according to evidence given in the disciplinary hearing from a paramedic, stopped breathing due to a piece of gauze blocking her airway.

Zindoga and her mother, Evelyn, have since moved to Ontario, where Zindoga is being cared for.

Her mother later filed a malpractice suit against Rishiraj and his dental assistant.

During the college’s 2015 hearing, it was determined Rishiraj administered deep sedation to Zindoga when

neither he nor the facility were authorized to do so.

It found Rishiraj failed to recognize his patient went into cardiac arrest in a timely manner, delayed resuscitative measures and failed to monitor Zindoga and other patients during sedation.

The college also found Rishiraj ran his practice in a manner designed to treat as many patients as possible in a short time period.

In making its penalty ruling, the college noted the review panel was troubled by the case. In the report, it noted there were “many disturbing elements of Dr. Rishiraj’s conduct that raise concerns about his character.”

In addition to the financial penalties from the 2015 incident, Rishiraj was ordered to provide only moderate sedation services to patients for five years and agree to the college monitoring and inspecting his practice at any time without notice.

That led to this latest reprimand.

According to a decision posed to the college’s website on Nov. 17, Rishiraj admitted he provided sedation services at the facility when it was not in compliance with the college’s standards and guidelines, avoiding a disciplinary hearing scheduled for February 2022.

Rishiraj was fined another $25,000 and ordered to pay $4,000 to the college for the investigation. He greed to permanently cease providing any level of sedation services at any dental facility in B.C. Rishiraj is now banned from managing sedation services at his practice, but can continue on as operator or director of the facility.

Rishiraj owns and operates Kamloops Oral Surgery and Implant Centre. In April of 2019, deficiencies were identified during an inspection of the facility by a college committee, resulting in a subsequent visit.

In June of 2019, the college accepted an undertaking from Rishiraj that he would not provide any level of sedation in the facility until the matter was resolved.

Included in Rishiraj’s subsequent admission was that he failed to adequately maintain sedation records for his patients and failed to perform and record required pre-operative assessments or record the patient’s level of consciousness.

He also did not ensure the facility staff that assisted with moderate sedation were appropriately qualified or trained, improperly stored and logged restricted drugs and did not conduct mock emergency drills as required.

KSAR SUSPENDS SEARCH FOR SHANNON WHITE MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSAR) has suspended its search efforts for missing woman Shannon White after amassing some 3,000 hours in the past two weeks, scouring forested areas north and west of the city.

The 32-year-old White was last seen the morning of Nov. 1 when she left her basement suite home on Bestwick Court in Lower Sahali to drive to work at Kamloops Hyundai, a dealership two kilometres away on Notre Dame Drive in Southgate.

Her 1997 Jeep TJ was found the next afternoon, Nov. 2, abandoned downtown in the 200-block of Nicola Street.

Kamloops police have since learned the vehicle was spotted twice on Nov. 1 — first driving west on the Trans-Canada Highway shortly after White was supposed to have arrived at work at 8:30 a.m., leaving town for a 45-minute period, then travelling north on Highway 5, passing

by Rayleigh at about 5:30 p.m. before returning south at about 6:15 p.m.

The developments led police and KSAR

to search for White daily in unspecified areas west and north of Kamloops, with this past weekend’s final searched focused on the Heffley Creek area, according to Kamloops RCMP. Kamloops Search and Rescue manager Alan Hobler said the team is burned out and, after finding no sign of White following one last major search effort over the weekend, KSAR’s operations have been suspended pending any new information that comes to light.

“It’s completely unprecedented how hard we searched,” Hobler said, noting searches were conduced every day, except for one day, dating back to Nov. 10, with about 3,000 search hours accumulated.

The decision to recommend halting KSAR efforts ultimately came from the RCMP, Hobler said, noting it would have also been search and rescue’s recommendation due to a number of factors.

At this point, the likelihood of searchers getting hurt is higher than the likelihood of finding something, Hobler told KTW. “Searchers get tired and, when searchers get tired, the higher the likelihood of injuries, as well,” Hobler said.

There’s also the recent snowfall in the areas searched as snow makes the

probability of finding something lower and the likelihood of missing something much higher.

Hobler said the team has extensively searched both areas RCMP requested KSAR to search.

“Not to say that something [hasn’t] been missed — that’s always a possibility — but the effort to continue versus the probability of finding something is quite a bit lower now,” he said.

Hobler said KSAR deployed varied and thorough techniques, noting it used search dogs and “some of the best search managers in the province to help profiling and find locations to look.”

“Basically, it’s beating the bushes,” he said. “It’s a lot of people, longer days. Just shortly after dawn to dusk, they’ve been out.”

While KSAR’s search efforts are now suspended, the RCMP may still continue to search, Hobler said.

He said the case is potentially a homicide investigation, but noted he is not at liberty to disclose the exact locations of the searches as that information must come from the RCMP. Hobler said KSAR had 50 personnel out searching on the first day,

west of Kamloops.

On the weekend of Nov. 13 and Nov. 14, police received the tip placing White’s vehicle north of the city. Hobler said while that “shifted gears” somewhat for KSAR, both areas were searched and considered by the RCMP as “high probability locations” of finding White, based on information police have gathered.

RCMP CLEAR SILVER SAGE Kamloops RCMP are no longer searching a trailer at the Silver Sage Trailer Park on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc reserve.

RCMP Const. Crystal Evelyn confirmed to KTW officers have released the scene.

On Nov. 12, Kamloops RCMP issued a press release regarding its appearance at Silver Sage, but according to one resident of the park, police arrived two days earlier, on Nov. 10, and had a presence until about Nov. 16.

The trailer, KTW has learned, belonged to an ex-boyfriend of White’s, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship.

They broke up about a year ago, friends of White’s have said.

How to help evacuees in Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Holiday Bear

Give-A-Way Win one of our feet GIANT tall!

The City of Kamloops is urging residents wishing to help Merritt not to send donations to its emergency support service centre on McArthur Island.

The ESS reception centre is unable to accept donations as it is not set up with the means and capacity to receive, sort and store items, said Carmin Mazzotta, Kamloops’ social, housing and community development manager.

“We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from residents to provide donations and encourage residents to direct donations to local non-profit and charitable organizations,” Mazzotta said.

An ESS reception centre is set up to provide for immediate essential needs of people affected by a disaster, including food,

lodging, clothing, emotional support and family reunification.

The Kamloops ESS is also handing out a variety of vouchers for food and gasoline, in addition to accommodations, including ones for locals who are billeting Merritt evacuees.

Those who wish to help should send donations of cash, food, gas cards or gift cards to the Kamloops Food Bank, other local non-profits, such as the United Way, or local thrift stores. People can also register to volunteer at Kamloops.ca/ESS. Residents of Merritt who have been evacuated due to flooding and require supports should register online at ess.gov.bc.ca, then go to the emergency evacuation reception centre at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre to access referrals to needed supports.

The reception centre is

open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

If you do not require Emergency Support Services, simply register online at ess.gov.bc.ca.

At the BC Wildlife Park, evacuees from Merritt and Princeton are being welcomed with 50 per cent off regular admission rates.

Motion Church on Fraser Street in Sagebrush is offering free coffee, snacks and a nursery for babies to evacuees.

This year, the Kamloops Salvation Army is putting together Christmas Hampers particularly for displaced Merritt residents.

To apply, call 250-5541611 or go online to kamloopssalvationarmy.ca.

The GoFundMe website has launched a hub to identify verified fundraisers related to flooding in B.C. It is regularly updated as new fundraisers are verified and can be found at gofundme. com/en-ca/c/act/bc-flooding.

WHAT DO ALL THOSE NUMBERS MEAN?

A dental examination is completely different than a periodontal examination.

A dental exam involves looking at your teeth, the crown (tooth) structure, rough/broken down fillings, interfering contacts of your teeth, how your teeth are wearing away, how your jaws are affecting your tooth wear patterns etc. In essence if you wanted to build the house, it’s an inventory and evaluation about all the items that go into building your house and how well put together your house is.

A periodontal exam is completely different. “Peri” in latin means “surrounding.” Thus, I specialize and focus on the health and welfare of ALL the supporting structures around your teeth and what repercussions your teeth experience. The bone, the gums, tooth and jaw positioning and roles these all play with the foundation of your teeth and what factors help keep your teeth and smile bright, healthy and long lasting. In essence, I am the the “Holmes on Homes” for the mouth. Periodontists are the main troubleshooters combined with crime investigators of the mouth. If you want any intervention or treatment in trying to keep your teeth to the end, before trouble happens—we are the ones! A periodontal exam can actually predict receding gums and tooth loss. We are the fortune tellers.

We have a special way to determine all these causative factors by measuring the “pockets.” I am sure you all have had your hygienist “poke” around your gums. This is only a part of a periodontal exam.

What the actual numbering system means is that I have a special “ruler” on my instrument called a “probe” measuring the turtle neck space located 360° around the whole tooth (3 measures on the tongue side and 3 measures on the cheek side). If you get a measure under 4mm. That is considered normal. Anywhere between 4-6mm is considered moderate gum disease or inflammation while 6mm+ is considered advanced gum disease. So if you are in the 4-5mm range, you are on your way to a chronic inflammatory condition called Chronic Adult Periodontitis which 87 percent of the world experiences. Did you know gum disease is the 6th most common condition in the world and is still the main reason why people lose their teeth! But remember each person “poking” around your teeth has a different touch and so the numbers are relative with the same practitioner not absolute between practitioners!

The most important part of the periodontal exam, involves examining the architecture and shape of your gums, the colour hues, the textures and “how” the gums actually hug and scallop the tooth/ crown shape. The gums, in essence, predict what the underlying bone structures supporting the teeth are like. These boney structures are separate from your actual jaw structures. In essence the jaw bone is connected to all the bones and the gums! The Flinstones were truly right!

If you need any special Columbo like investigation of the mouth, go to a Periodontist!

Kamloops-born-andraised actor Keith Dinicol, who had notable roles on the stage and screen, has died.

The death was announced by his family on social media on the weekend. Dinicol died on Nov. 17 after suffering a stroke. He was 69.

As an actor, Dinicol had early history in Kamloops, helping to establish the Western Canada Youtheatre, which would later become Western Canada Theatre.

On top of acting with the emergent company, Dinicol also served as business manager and dabbled in directing in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Dinicol was active with WCT throughout the 1970s and returned for a number of plays in the 1990s, including his 1997 performance as Antonio Salieri in Amadeus.

But Dinicol came to be known as a mainstay elsewhere, as a resident actor and teacher/director at the Stratford Festival in Ontario, performing there from the A LIVE-A DIENCE early 1980s until 2015.

Brown, Dunstone adapt to lineup changes MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Brown and Dunstone curling rinks have experienced competition without regular team members.

Matt Dunstone, the Kamloops resident who skips a Regina-based rink that normally includes lead Dustin Kidby, second Kirk Muyres and third Braeden Moskowy, is in action at the Tim Hortons Curling Trials, which began last Saturday in Saskatoon.

The event will wrap up on Sunday and produce the fourperson men’s and women’s teams that will don the Maple Leaf at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.

Team Dunstone is without Moskowy, who pulled out of the event last Thursday, citing personal reasons for his withdrawal. Colton Lott is his replacement.

The team was 0-3 as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Team Brown of Kamloops toiled at the Vesta Energy Red Deer Curling Classic, a 28-team, triple-knockout tournament that boasted a $35,000 purse.

Corryn Brown skips the team that usually includes third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes and lead Sam Fisher, but Pincott has been picked up

by Team Walker of Edmonton to handle alternate duties

Erin Pincott was called into action on Monday at the Tim Hortons Trials in Saskatoon.

for the Trials in Saskatoon.

“Obviously, it’s a really great opportunity, so we didn’t want to hold Erin back from that,” Brown said. “We’re really happy for her.

“In a year where points are still pretty important, just even for how close we are to being back in the Slams, or being Slam regulars, we’re pretty close, so we can’t give up any opportunities to play and get points.”

Brown reached the quarterfinal round and lost 6-5 to Satsuki Fujisawa, the Japanese

rink that went on to win gold, edging Unchi Gim of South Korea 6-5 on Monday in the title tilt.

Hope Sunley, who normally toils for Calgary-based Team Bertsch, hopped in with Team Brown for the Red Deer event and played lead, with Fisher moving to second and Hawes sliding into third.

Walker had ample opportunity to assess Pincott this season.

“We played them [Team Walker] a ton this year, I think

eight games on tour and at the play-in event,” Pincott said.

“I’ve gotten to know them well on the ice.

“With not making it there [to Olympic trials] ourselves, they reached out and I was happy to jump on board.”

Team Brown fell one victory short of reaching the Olympic trials at the Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event, which took place in September in Ottawa.

Walker picked up the thirdand-final Trials berth on offer at the Direct-Entry event with

an 8-4 win over Brown.

Pincott, operating as a fifth for the first time in her career, spoke to KTW last week and recalled an experience from the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw. Dailene Pewarchuk was Team Brown’s fifth and was inserted into the lineup at second for two games when Hawes became ill.

“God forbid, but if someone gets sick, I’m there and ready to hop in at any moment,” Pincott said.

Walker’s vice-skip, Kate Cameron, became ill on Monday. Pincott jumped into the lineup for a game against Kerri Einarson of Gimli, Man., on Monday evening.

Einarson earned a 9-5 win over Walker, who was 1-3 as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday.

“The girls were super supportive and it felt like I fit in pretty quickly,” Pincott said.

“Our communication was really flowing. That was the first game post-sanding the rocks, so we were all learning at the same time about the new ice conditions and how the rocks were running.”

Walker had an off-day on Tuesday and will return to action on Wednesday against Rachel Homan of Ottawa, with the draw scheduled for noon.

Pincott’s inclusion in the lineup is dependent on Cameron’s health.

Titans take issue with football decision MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

BC School Sports acted arbitrarily and without transparency when it rescheduled the Subway Bowl, according to South Kamloops Titans’ head coach Brad Yamaoka.

The provincial governing body announced changes to the schedule last week, morphing the B.C. high school football playoffs into regional championships, reacting in the wake of the heavy rainfall that led to widespread flooding and landslides in the Lower Mainland and Interior.

That means semifinal and final games that were to be played at BC Place in Vancouver will now be played regionally.

“It’s baffling,” Yamaoka told KTW last week. “I get that there are extenuating circumstances, but they didn’t even give us a chance to see if we could get down there at all. It’s ridiculous,

especially if they don’t contact our principal or anybody who is involved in these things and just put out a press release. There may be a way and there may not be, but they arbitrarily made those decisions and it really doesn’t sit well.”

On Nov. 17, the provincial government declared a state of emergency for all of B.C. Multiple highways closed and the Lower Mainland was cut off from the Interior and the rest of Canada.

“Maybe we can fly? Maybe that’s a pipe dream, but we haven’t had the chance to look into it,” Yamaoka said. “I’ve got a room full of kids I’ve got to explain this to, that a bunch

of people from the Coast just decided their fate for them.”

Highway 3 and Highway 99 have reopened to re-establish routes for essential travel between the Coast and the Interior and Okanagan.

Yamaoka’s qualms are with the AA division, in which his Titans toiled and claimed the No. 1 Interior seed.

Prior to the scheduling changes spurred by the natural disaster, the Titans were to play host to the Ballenas Whalers of Parksville on Nov. 19 at Hillside Stadium, one of four provincial AA quarter-final games.

Quarter-final weekend was also to include Vernon squaring off against Duchess Park in Prince George, Langley playing host to Carson Graham of North Vancouver and John Barsby of Nanaimo travelling to Abbotsford to toil against Robert Bateman.

The quarter-final winners were to advance to play on Nov. 27 in the semifinal round

and the finalists were slated to clash in the AA Subway Bowl Championship on Dec. 4, with each of those games to be played at BC Place Stadium.

“We’ve got a lot of kids who worked their asses off to get there,” Yamaoka said. “They promote it [games in BC Place] like crazy. They fought like hell to get it. You get to play in a dome. It’s one of the best experiences.”

Instead, an Interior/North AA/AAA Subway Bowl will take place. Vernon bested Duchess Park 31-7 on Saturday in Prince George in semifinal action.

Underdog South Kamloops is slated to host AAA Kelowna on either Friday or Saturday at Hillside Stadium, with the winner moving on to square off against Vernon for the regional title on either Dec. 3 or Dec. 4 in the Interior/North Subway Bowl.

“The decision to move away from a provincial championship to a regional playoff to finish

our season was not easy,” Travis Bell, chair of the BCSS Football Advisory Committee, said in a BC School Sports release.

“The current uncertainty of travel conditions between the Interior and mainland, as well as the dynamic flooding situation in the Fraser Valley, were at the forefront of this decisionmaking process.

“Considering all the facts that we currently have, we feel it is the responsible decision to ensure the safety of our studentathletes, coaches and their supporters.”

Yamaoka noted that of the four originally scheduled AA quarter-final games, road travel restrictions would have kept only the Titans-Whalers matchup from happening.

The Titans’ bench boss proposed a scenario in which lower-seeded Ballenas should be forced to forfeit as it cannot fulfil its travel obligations.

Blazers look to down T-Birds The Kamloops Blazers will be looking for their second consecutive victory over the Seattle Thunderbirds on Wednesday in Kent, Wash.

Matthew Seminoff led the way offensively and Dylan Garand was formidable between the pipes for Kamloops last Saturday in a 5-1 win over hometown Seattle (11-5-1-0).

Seminoff scored a hat-trick, with Daylan Kuefler and Reese Belton adding singles in support of Garand, who stopped 29 shots to pick up his 12th victory of the season.

Jared Davidson scored for Seattle on the power play at 18:25 of the third period to ruin Garand’s shutout bid.

GLOBAL VIEWS Extreme weather events, such as the atmospheric river of Nov. 14 and Nov. 15 that created flooding in Merritt and elsewhere, along with mudslides and highway collapses, has become more common as the climate crisis continues.

The recent COP26 summit in Glasgow was held to address the emergency.

IVAN DIAZ PHOTO

Actually, COP26 was not a complete failure

C

losing the two-week COP26 climate summit in Glasgow earlier this month, Alok Sharma, the British president of the 197-country conference, declared, “We’ve kept 1.5 (degrees Celsius) within reach, but its pulse is weak.”

But he was close to tears several times in his closing remarks.

That was not because the 40,000-delegate meeting was a complete disaster. It wasn’t a complete success, either, but these things never are.

Sharma was upset because a last-minute assault by the world’s coal, oil and gas superpowers — Saudi Arabia and Australia as the biggest exporters and China, India and Russia as huge producers and consumers — nearly brought the meeting to a halt.

After days and nights of almost non-stop negotiations, the great majority of the countries present got a commitment to phase out coal power into the conference report for the first time. There is no timetable, but it’s a start.

What? You mean none of the other summits ever mentioned coal in their reports? Coal is the worst fossil fuel by far in terms of

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH the volume of carbon dioxide it puts into the atmosphere when it burns. Surely they must have mentioned it before.

Nope. The fossil fuel powers always managed to keep it out of the final documents by threatening to sabotage a process that depends on consensus and unanimity.

It’s ridiculous, of course. Your whole purpose is to stop global warming, but you’re not allowed to mention the principal cause?

That’s right, but it’s not as stupid as it seems. Everybody, including the Australians and the Indians, understands fossil fuels are the major problem.

They love their children and

they don’t want to condemn them to a hopeless future.

However, they’re not ready to do anything about it yet because so much of the present prosperity of their countries depends on keeping those fuels going.

They are fighting a delaying action at every summit and keeping the word “coal” out of the documents yet again was an important symbolic goal for them.

At the final plenary session, India’s climate minister, Bhupender Yadav, stood up and asked how developing countries could promise to phase out coal and fossil-fuel subsidies when they “have still to deal with their development agendas and poverty eradication.”

The answer is that all the development agendas and poverty eradication will shrivel up and die if the warming stays on its current track — and Yadav probably knows that, too. But he effectively threatened a veto and managed to get the phrase “phase out coal” changed to “phase down coal.”

It wasn’t much of a victory because the offending word “coal” is still in the Glasgow Climate Pact. It will be there at all future climate summits and

every year there will be attempts to strengthen the other words around it.

Eventually they will succeed.

At this point, you may want to join with Greta Thunberg in dismissing the whole process as “blah, blah, blah,” but you would be wrong.

This is the only way millionsstrong groups of people called countries, most of whose ancestors were hunter-gatherers only a few thousand years ago, can make decisions on subjects that matter to all of them.

Their representatives come together physically and, if the debate is intense and the meeting goes on long enough, their fixed positions tend to start bending toward compromise and consensus. That’s how their ancestors did it in the far distant past and that’s how we still do it today.

So, the great achievement at Glasgow was to agree they will all meet again next year and keep worrying away at the problem and ratcheting up the promises.

There’s no formal agreement to meet again the year after that, but everybody expects this will be an annual event in the future, no longer one every five years.

What two weeks together

arguing about climate issues did for the key delegates at Glasgow was to create a pressure-cooker atmosphere in which hard positions softened and movement finally became possible.

Doing it every year, with people you already know from last time, should make the process move faster.

It doesn’t mean human beings will respond fast enough to avoid catastrophic warming.

We have left it very late, the special interests will continue to wage a fighting retreat in defence of the status quo and some non-linear response to the warming climate may suddenly upset all our plans and expectations.

We are in unknown waters now.

But COP26, while not yielding much in the way of enforceable commitments to cut emissions, has actually turned out to be one of the more productive climate summits.

Perhaps it’s the extreme weather of the past year or so that has put people into a more co-operative mood, but there is a smidgen of hope in the air.

Yamaoka: ‘I’m not happy’ From A24

South Kamloops would then be pencilled into a semifinal showdown at BC Place Stadium.

“If we can’t fulfil our obligation, for obvious reasons, whether it’s the highways or cost, then we’ll default back to Ballenas,” Yamaoka said. “That just seems like a reasonable thing.”

The new schedule features the Coastal AA Subway Bowl, with Ballenas, Carson Graham, John Barsby, Robert Bateman and Langley involved in the tournament. Those teams are, from left to right in descending order, the top five seeds in the Coastal AA Division, with 8-0 Langley ranked No. 1.

Semifinals and the championship game will be played at BC Place Stadium.

“If they told Ballenas and Carson Graham, ‘Hey, this is your game, you don’t get to go to the dome, you’re just playing for fun,’ those two teams would not be happy,” Yamaoka said. “I guarantee you there would be a lot more fireworks. To arbitrarily give a fourth and a fifth seed (Carson Graham and Ballenas placed fourth and fifth, respectively in the AA Coastal Division) over a one

seed in the Interior … I’m not happy,” Yamaoka said.

“We’re busting our asses in the cold at Hillside Stadium for the last two weeks.

The only team it really affected was the team from Parksville. There is an appeal process. I know Vernon is definitely not happy, either.”

BLUE WAVE BOUNCED The Vernon Panthers earned a 38-14 victory over the Westsyde Blue Wave last week in the first round of the junior varsity high school football playoffs.

Logan Rubel and Kooper Groeneveld had touchdowns for the Blue Wave.

TITANS ON TOP The South Kamloops Titans won the junior boys’ Okanagan Valley Championship on the weekend in Revelstoke.

South Kamloops bested the Kelowna Owls 2-0 in the best-of-three championship final to claim gold and secure a berth in the provincial championship later this month.

Key plays from Huxley Wendland, Kelton Blower and James Upshaw helped seal the victory in the final.

In Loving Memory of Bertha Marjorie (Armstrong) Collins June 21, 1926 - October 6, 2021

Bertha was born in Elstow, Saskatchewan and grew up on the family farm in Carrot River, then attended Success Business College in Regina. In 1948 she moved to Red Deer, AB and farmed with her husband until 1962 when they moved to Kamloops, BC. She moved to Richmond, BC in 1964 and then back to Kamloops in 1974.

Over this time, she raised her family and managed her career.

She worked for the Co-op in Regina, Fry Cadbury’s in Red Deer, the Sheriff’s office in Kamloops, the Fire Chief’s office in Richmond, retiring from the Court Registry in Kamloops in 1986. When not working her and her husband could be found on the road enjoying their caravan.

Bertha enjoyed her retirement, often travelling back to her large extended family in Saskatchewan and enjoying trips across Canada, to the Yukon and down to Nashville and points south.

She will be missed by her family and extended family from British Columbia to Manitoba and by her friends in Kamloops and at Cottonwood Manor.

A special thank you to the Caregivers, Nurses and Doctors at Ponderosa Lodge who provided wonderful care over her final months.

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

In Loving Memory of Darlene May Bendick

November 30, 1954 - October 20, 2021 After a two year battle with cancer Darlene was called to heaven on October 20, 2021, to join her parents, Ruby and Fred Yemen, and her daughter Tiffany.

Darlene will be lovingly remember by the love of her life, Stewart of 32 years, children Kristina and Sarah (Mike) and grandkids, Isabella, Matthew and Logan.

As well as her five siblings, family, and many friends.

Darlene was born in Lethbridge AB, but lived her life in Kamloops, BC. She enjoyed her years working at Cablenet and BCLC, making solid relationships along the way. She was also an entrepreneur and started her own business “Muckers Boot Covers” in 1999.

Darlene was immensely proud of her family, and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories. She was a beautiful women, with an infectious personality. The sound of her laugh will never leave us.

Darlene passed away peacefully in her home with her loving husband and daughters beside her and on the same day her own mother had passed 6 years prior.

“You taught us everything in life but not how to live life without you.”

We want to really thank Dr. Miranda DuPreez and Dr. Pwint and all the care aids and nurses that worked alongside us.

In lieu of flowers, we’d like any donations to go to Afternoon Auxiliary to RIH / HAT & WIG BANK. Email: Lynn.littlejohns@interiorhealth.ca

Following a lengthy battle with mental health, Iain Alexander McKee of Kamloops died by suicide on November 14, 2021 at the age of 34. Though his life was short, he is remembered for absorbing each moment he had. His dauntless and fun loving nature led him on great adventures and his magnetism inspired others to let go of fear and embrace the wonder of life alongside him. Iain ushered others into his life vision - a life where love knew no bounds, where there was always room for others, and the impossible became possible. He was a dreamer, he wanted to show you the stars and dance with you under them. Music sounded better with him by your side. As a pillar of his community, he effortlessly fostered a safe and nurturing environment for those around him to learn, grow, and thrive.

His light and legacy will live on within those who were lucky enough to cross paths with him.

Iain will be sorely missed by his wife Megan McKee of 3 years (in love far longer) and his sweet pup Ghosty. His parents John and Beverly McKee, brother Adam, sister-in-law Katie and nephew Jack with Iain’s grandparents; Megan’s parents Jack and Tracy Young, sister-in-law Katie and nephew Theo and family. As well as numerous relatives and friends here in Canada and in the UK. “The best gift you could have given me was a lifetime of adventures together, in this life and the next.” - MM Iain’s Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 1:00 pm, at the Monte Creek Greenhouse, 2420 Miner’s Bluff Road.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for memorial donations to be made in the name of Iain McKee to: The Canadian Mental Health Association, Kamloops Branch (donations can be made online at their website or phone them at 250-374 0440). Gardengate, a program of Open Door Group providing mental health services in Kamloops (donations can be made online at their website or in person at 915 Southhill Street Kamloops, BC V2B 7Z9, 250-554-9453).

THE ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

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.

sunset while sitting around a campfire with his family. He also loved being on the water, whether it was boating around a lake, swimming, or just sitting on the beach.

Bob was most at peace when he was surrounded by water and wilderness.

His love for being outside also led him to develop interests in boats and trucks, specifically Dodge trucks.

One of Bob’s strongest skills was his ability to cook and BBQ. Bob really enjoyed cooking and hosting for family and friends. He was a caring and generous man who had a talent for making everyone around him smile through his huge heart and friendly personality. He was admired for his outgoing persona and contagious laugh that will be missed by many.

In 1994, Bobby and Vinessa welcomed their son Spencer Stewart to the world. Bobby was thrilled to be a father and was always incredibly proud of Spencer. Bob met his former wife, and lifelong best friend Shelley Stewart, on a house boating trip on his favourite lake, Shuswap.

In 1999, he followed his love to Richmond, where they raised their children Taiya (2001) and Blake Stewart (2002). Bob’s three children meant more to him than anything in the world. He loved spending time with them playing video games, going camping, and coaching sports. He instilled in his children to always do what they love and never worry about what others think. He had a loving nature and his life revolved around those he cared about most.

In 2016, Bob moved to Shuswap Lake to spend more time with his father (Bob Sr.). Bob spent his last years on the lake fishing, camping, and enjoying the incredible views. He loved living at Blind Bay, BC, where he sadly passed away.

Rest in Paradise, Bobby.

A celebration of his life will be held with family and friends at a later date.

Bob will also be missed by former wife Shelley Stewart (Richmond) and his eldest son’s mother, Vinessa Scherrer (Kamloops). Bob is survived by his mother and stepfather, Donna and Gord Dittberner, and his two sisters: Carol (Jeff) DeFehr (Kamloops) and Jackie (Mark Lamley) Stewart of Vancouver. Missing their uncle is niece, Payton DeFehr-Robb (Kamloops), and nephews, Nolan and Theodore Lamley (Vancouver). Many aunts, uncles and cousins adored Bobby.

Bob also loved going hunting with his Grandpa Ralph and helping him with his forestry projects. Bobby and Grandpa Ralph treasured every minute they spent together. Bobby’s grandparents meant the absolute world to him. He would travel far and wide to see them any chance he could.

One of Bob’s greatest passions in life was carpentry. He found enjoyment in taking something ordinary and turning it beautiful. He spent his early years in carpentry building and renovating luxury homes; however, he found more fulfillment in creating art later in life. Bob’s talents even won him notable recognition when he won the Georgie Award from the Canadian Home Builders Association.

Bob had a real connection with nature and loved being outdoors. He cherished the evenings watching the

Drake Cremation & Funeral Services

210 Lansdowne • 425 Tranquille Rd. 250-377-8225 • DrakeCremation.com AFFORDABLE & NO BLACK SUITS

It was with heavy hearts that we say good bye to our father, Gramps, great grandfather, uncle, brother and dear friend, John Garfield Wells.

John was born on the family farm,( the fifth of 10 children) just a step or two from Wellwood, Manitoba to John (Jack) James Wells and Ada Hope Wells (nee Whitmore).

He was predeceased by his parents, his wife Audrey in 1984 (mother of Barrie and Alison), wife Joyce Fraser in 1996 and dear long time friend, Joyce Snider in 2021. His siblings who predeceased him include brothers Andy, Jim and Alex plus sisters Joan, Winona, Dawn and Beth. His surviving siblings include his brother Charlie (Chase BC) and sister Frances (Neepawa MB) and sister-in-law Marjorie Cartwright (Kamloops).

John is survived by his son Barrie (Bev) of Kamloops BC, daughter Alison of Kamloops BC, four grandchildren [(Tyler, Brett (Alex), Tammy and Amanda (Dan)] plus 2 great grandchildren, Shayne and Lucy. “Papa John” was also well loved by the Porter children and grandchildren: Ryan (Kristy), Hilary (Derek), Jaren, Jayse and Zephyrin.

Dad’s gentle smile and gentlemanly nature will be dearly missed by many extended family members and close friends. His amazing record of 35 years of employment with CN Railways was only topped by the fact that as retiree, he collected a pension longer than he worked as a signal maintainer!

Dad was a long time member at the Kamloops Golf and Country club, plus the Kamloops Curling Club. Both sports kept him active and healthy well into his late 80’s. Other favourite activities included bicycling, gardening and walking his ‘grand dog’ Ava along Schubert Drive, admiring the scenery. Over the years he made several trips back to Manitoba to visit family and friends to share memories of his life on the farm outside of Wellwood.

Dad was a faithful member of St. George’s Anglican Church. His dedication and sixty two years of service to St. George’s was greatly appreciated by the congregation and officiants.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 26, 2021 at 11 a.m., officiated by Rev John Boyd and Rev Linda Lagroix, at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops B.C. Please respect Provincial COVID protocols, which will include proof of full vaccination and the use of facial masks.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. (The “angels” that watch over our loved ones in their last hours are immeasurably the most compassionate, caring people that we have ever met).

“The universe gives us a reminder of how beautiful endings can be when the sun sets and the moon rises” – Taylor Ashley

John Martin Ludwig It is with deep disheartening sadness that we announce the passing of John Martin Ludwig. John fought a long battle waiting for a lung transplant.

He was raised in Revelstoke with his three sisters Harolyn, Traci, and Julie and was married to his wife Marni for 25 years. John was predeceased by his parents Harold and Shirlee. John loved and cared for all his family and friends and absolutely loved and supported all his nieces and nephews.

His fairness and devotion will always be remembered. John’s business took him to a multitude of cities where he made amazing friends along the way. His absolute pride for his ironworker/welder career left behind a legacy of people who apprenticed under him, amazing structural buildings and bridges.

John’s humour was contagious, jokes were plentiful and his story-telling legendary. He enjoyed making people laugh. His smile was always big and kind.

We will miss you John, forever and a day.

Your loving wife and all your family.

A Celebration of Life will be held May 28, 2022 at his home. kamloopsthisweek.com • kamloopsthisweek.com

Stanley Tuomo Saari

May 18, 1922 - November 16, 2021

It is with great sadness passing of Stanley Tuomo was 88 years old, born Corner, BC. Even though died too quickly at Royal on October 6, 2021.

It is with heavy hearts and the fondest of memories we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa, Harold Houghton at the age of 99 years in Kamloops, B.C. Harold is survived by his loving wife Sylvia of 70 years, his daughter Wendy, son-in-law Rod, four grandsons Dylan (Alison), Ryan (Cary), Garrett (Elizabeth), Branden (Felicia) and six great-grandchildren - Everett, Nathan, Lochlan, Rebecca, Derek, and Holden. Harold was predeceased by his parents Cyril and Ester and his older sister Iris who he adored.

Harold was born in Sheffield, England and was a proud Seaman of the UK Merchant Marines from 1942 to 1951. He served his country as an Engineering Officer aboard The Celtic Star, The Pasteur, The Duchess of Richmond, The Empress of Scotland, The Admiral Cunningham, S.S. Charmouth Hill and the S.S. Notting Hill. While serving aboard The Celtic Star as the Assistant Engineer he was torpedoed March 29, 1943 by the Italian submarine “Finzi” and The Celtic Star sunk on March 30, 1943 off the coast of South Africa. After 3-4 days in a life raft the crew was rescued by the H.M.S Wastwater and taken to Freetown, Sierra Leone to await his return to England 3 months later. During this time he found his love for travel and the sea.

Harold married the love of his life Sylvia on August 30, 1951 and shortly afterwards immigrated to Vancouver, BC. They made their home in Burnaby where Harold was always taking on a new project for the house. Harold worked for Standard Oil / Chevron at the Burnaby Refinery as a Machinist Engineer and Foreman from 1951 to when he retired in 1985. He loved the ocean breezes and soaking up the sun on the beaches of Hawaii or California. He was a tireless, meticulous hard worker because as he would say “You don’t get anything done just standing around.” No matter how hard or difficult something was his motto was “ You have to try” and try he did as he had beaten the dreaded “C” cancer 4 times. His final challenge was Alzheimer’s.

Harold was a kind, generous, proud loving man who would do anything for anybody.

If something needed fixing he was always there with a solution and spent many hours tinkering away in the garage or at his workbench. He was a firm believer in honesty, integrity and family. He always spoke a kind word. He had a passion for the outdoors and all living creatures. He stood strong in his belief to live and let live. A bug in the house meant you catch it and let it go outside. He had a definite sweet tooth and a love for chocolate and liquorice. Most days usually meant a coffee and timbits at Tim’s and we sure didn’t have to ask twice if he wanted to go out for lunch or dinner. His favourite British poet/comedian was Marriott Edgar. Harold never tired of “The Lion and Albert” and could recite the entire poem which always ended with him laughing and a huge grin on his face.

Harold continually gave the gift of life by being a regular blood donor and was a registered organ donor. In memory of Harold please pay his kindness forward by doing a good deed for someone in need. “ For only what we give away enriches us from day to day”. Harold supported the following charities: BC Cancer, Heart and Stroke, SPCA, Wildlife Rescue, and the Royal Columbian Hospital.

He leaves behind his bride of 66 years, Lilly Saari (Sydor) and four children (Deborah Saari (Les Fisher), Richard Saari (Wanda Bestwick Saari), Ronald Saari (Janet Saari), and Charney LaMarsh (David LaMarsh). Stan adored his sixteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him great joy and pride.

Stan also leaves behind a younger brother, Allan Saari (Patricia Saari) and many special nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Samuel and Sylvie Saari, and two siblings, Tuano Saari (Dolly Saari) and Taimi Norberg (Gordon Norberg).

Stanley enjoyed hosting his family and friends for many yearly get-togethers at his residence in Clearwater, and later ‘The Cabin’ in Lac La Hache, BC until his move to Kamloops in 2016. Christmas in July, Thanksgiving’s, Halloween and Christmas parties will be fondly remembered by all those who attended.

Always an entrepreneur, breaking new ground, Stanley was often called a “Jack-ofall-trades”. He never let not knowing how to do something stop him from pursuing his many visions, passions, and dreams. He possessed a broad working knowledge of lived experiences, derived from blacksmithing with his father, and having careers in automotive and fibreglass industries (Maple Ridge) as a young family man before entering the grocery, hospitality and recreation industries (the first neighborhood pub and golf course, Clearwater, BC) where he worked until his retirement. Stanley had a mind hungry for growth, always looking for opportunities to widen his expertise, even into his retirement.

Throughout his life, Stanley enjoyed many hobbies including snowmobiling hosting Rotary students, golf, boating, flying, hunting and fishing with his grandsons. Inspired by his father, Stanley took up woodworking in his 80s. His family cherishes the bowls and kuksa (Finnish cups) he turned and the boards he cut and shared so generously.

Flying was one dream Stanley only partially fulfilled, attaining his private pilot licence in 1980. Until his death, Stanley continued to dream about building his own plane.

Stanley will be remembered by his family as a determined and passionate man with a dry sense of humour, whose occasional gruffness did not diminish his devotion and love for his family.

Roy Philip Ereaut It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Roy Philip Ereaut on November 10, 2021 in Kamloops, BC at the age 85 years old. He is survived by his son Robert, daughter Deborah (Irfan), and his grandchildren Levent and Dilara. He will be missed by his sisters Maisie, Melba and sisters-in-law Flora (Bill), Annie plus numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Philip and Mary, his brother George, and his loving wife Johanne.

“Now is the hour, when we must say goodbye, Soon you’ll be sailing, far across the sea, While you’re away, oh please remember me.

I’ll dream of you, if you will dream of me, Each hour I’ll miss you, here across the sea, It’s not goodbye, it’s just a sweet adieu.”

We are all ships returning home laden with life’s experiences, memories of work, good times and sorrow, each with our own special cargo. Until we meet again.

Always to be remembered and never to be forgotten.

By request no formal service. His ashes will be scattered at a future date.

Although there was many highlights in Roy’s retirement, the time he spent with his beloved wife Johanne and their miniature schnauzers (Oscar and subsequently Cajun) would be his most cherished memories until her passing in 2015.

Norma Leslie Myers

March 20, 1931 - November 11, 2021 With last kisses and flowing tears, Lorna and Linda said good-bye to their beloved Mother, Norma Leslie Myers, on November 11, 2021 . Memories of her will be cherished by her daughters, Lorna Fuoco (Reg) and Linda Seller (David); grandchildren David Fuoco (Serena), Lisa Brunt (Davis), Kristin Seller (Eric) and Erin Hegg (Paul); and great-grandchildren Avani and Anaya Fuoco, Jackson and Carter Brunt, and Livia and Jack Hegg.

Those who knew Mom will remember her for her passion for duplicate bridge that culminated in a Bronze Life Master; her love of books and reading; her joy in being outside in her garden or at her cabin on Shuswap; and her quest for the next adventure. If it was happening, she was there. She was independent, capable and determined. For Mom, where there was a will, there was a way. Her kind-heartedness and curiosity shone through everything she did. She loved life and would have lived forever given the option.

Mom never gave up on anything or anyone. We knew this was true when, at a very young age, we witnessed her successfully resuscitate our belly-up goldfish. Regardless of our accomplishments or lack of them, she loved us unconditionally and supported us without judgement. When asked by others how we knew we were loved, our answer was simple, “There was never any reason to doubt. We just knew.”

One of the highlights of Mom’s days was a visit from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She adored them and they loved her back. This poem was written by the grandchildren for their Grandma.

To Our Grandma Her peaches are sweet, Her dancing is neat.

She owns lots of shoes but she prefers bare feet.

She can chop up a tree, Read a book in a flash.

She can swim like a fish and then make you laugh.

If you wash her car, She’ll wash yours right back.

If you get out of line she’ll keep you on track.

She gives big strong hugs and she’s fearless and bold.

There’s no doubt her heart is made purely of gold.

The best thing about her is her hugs and her smile, and if you happen to cry she’ll cry with you a while.

We couldn’t keep up to her even if we tried.

We love her so dearly.

It can’t be denied.

I’m Glad I Touched Shoulders With You

From Bob White’s Scrapbook There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Predeceased by her three brothers, Bill Gair, Lou Gair, George Gair and her three sisters, Isabelle Horning, Edith Anderson, and Rebecca Perrault. Plus, her beloved son Brian Van Tine.

Survived by her daughter Lynn (Adrian) Higgins of Kamloops, BC, her grandson Nigel (Tracey) Higgins, their daughter Bailey Higgins, (Flora’s great-granddaughter) of Surrey, BC, and her grandson Shawn Higgins of Kamloops, BC.

OF A LIFE SO BEAUTIFULLY LIVED. AND A HEART SO DEEPLY LOVED. Your Life was a Blessing, Your Memory a Treasure, You are Loved beyond Words and will be Missed beyond Measure ~Unknown.

A scattering of her ashes will take place in early summer 2022 at a place chosen and dear to her. Memorial donations may be given to the charity of choice in Flora’s name.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

PRAYER FOR

PEACE Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope;

Hugs and kisses always

Where there is darkness, light;

Thank you to Mom’s extended family, including relatives in other parts of Canada, the USA and Italy, for their love and support, and to her friends for their kindness and caring especially during this past year.

Where there is sadness, joy.

Our memories and the example Mom set for each of us to live life with curiosity, confidence, and unconditional love will be held close to our hearts.

Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console;

A celebration of Mom’s life will be held at a later date.

Thanks for wearing a mask, for everyone!

JASPER’S STORY OF HOPE

H

i, my name is Jasper Flurey. I grew up in Fort Langley BC, and was born in June of 1990 – that makes me 31 years young!

I was not a good student and got suspended every year since Grade 2. I craved attention and did whatever I could to get my fix, usually as the class clown and troublemaker.

In Grade 9, I moved to a large secondary school and was blown away by the freedoms. Soon I was skipping class and smoking weed at school.

I discovered alcohol and its “magical” couragebuilding properties. I loved to be drunk, and felt 10 feet tall and bulletproof while under the influence. There were so many students that I was able to fly under the radar for a while, but my poor attitude, and bad behaviour caught up with me and got me the boot halfway through Grade 12. Not that I was

lined up to graduate.

Coming from a family that had excelled in higher education, I carried a lot of shame about not completing high school.

I worked basic labour jobs, but my lack of education and confidence didn’t allow me to ever find a job that could be considered a career.

My drinking and drug use spiralled out of control until I became homeless and lost contact with all friends and family. I spent 7 years on the streets before eventually being arrested and incarcerated.

On Sept. 16, 2020 I was released to Vision Quest – a treatment facility outside of Logan Lake. Since being in treatment I have begun to understand how and why my addiction took over my life. I know that if I put in the effort, I can continue to remain sober. Jail saved my life and so has VQ and the staff. I have now moved to transitional housing and

have started Street School.

The teachers at Street School are compassionate and understanding, and are a large part of my

recovery. They help in building the confidence I need to remain a sober and productive member of society. I

plan on completing the program, and then begin studying to become an Outreach Worker.

I believe I can connect

with active addicts, and be a light in their lives as living proof that from the depths of despair, there is always hope.

USING DCCS AS HOUSE DOWN PAYMENTS? THE COMMUNITY OF LANGFORD ON VANCOUVER ISLAND IS DOING IT FOR POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS WITH INCOME LIMITS, BUT THERE IS HESITANCY TO DO LIKEWISE LOCALLY JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

K

amloops politicians are weighing in on a Vancouver Island city’s policy aimed at helping first-time home buyers.

The Victoria suburb of Langford, which happens to be the home of Premier John Horgan, is utilizing development cost charges — fees charged to developers — to help provide down payments through a capped grant program for homes up to $450,000 purchased by individuals with an income of $125,000 or less.

The city wants to ensure people continue to put down roots as average home prices skyrocket to $900,000.

The average selling price of all homes (single-family, townhouse and apartment/condo) in the Kamloops area rose to $619,265 in October, while the average sell-

ing price to date of single-family homes in the Kamloops area increased to $669,225.

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said the city is not looking at a similar policy, noting he would not in favour of such an initiative. Christian said the city’s development cost charges are assigned to projects that better the entire city.

“What you’re essentially talking about is using taxpayers’ dollars to subsidize housing for entry-level housing and I think there are better ways that municipalities could encourage entry-level housing, other than subsidizing the down payment,” he said.

Christian said there are ways the city can encourage development, through zoning that reduces lot size requirements and encourages secondary suites and carriage houses. He said those tools make housing less expensive, but does not directly subsidize or underwrite a person’s mortgage.

Coun. Kathy Sinclair said she is interested in looking into Langford’s policy. She said the city needs to look at every possible angle to increase housing affordability.

Sinclair said it is “shocking” how much housing prices have increased since she moved to Kamloops in the last decade.

She said other communities are facing similar problems and it comes down to supply and demand. She said the city needs everything from affordable rentals to affordable home purchases.

“Rentals are a real issue right now and this wouldn’t help alleviate that, necessarily, but it’s definitely attractive to first-time homebuyers,” she said. “It sounds like it would be a good opportunity for them and I do think the city could play a role.”

Sinclair said she wants to run the idea by the chair of the development and sustainability committee, Coun. Sadie Hunter, to add it to a committee agenda for discussion.

Hunter said she is curious to see how the new policy works in Langford and called it an “innovative idea.”

“I think anything we can do to make housing and homes more affordable for people, I think, is worth considering,” she said.

Hunter said the Langford initiative does not sound that much different from the affordable housing fund in Kamloops and other initiatives undertaken to provide land for affordable and social housing.

“In my mind, it’s a bit of an extension of that and also even an extension of affordable recreation, KamPass, all these,” Hunter said.

“Helping somebody buy a home is quite different, but in this time we need to think of out-of-thebox solutions.”

Coun. Dieter Dudy said he would be concerned about how such a policy would impact the development community, pointing out that developers are on the hook for DCCs. “That money is supposed to go

toward putting in infrastructure that you continue to develop,” he said. “And that offsets the costs of the city, et cetera. Taking that money and actually giving it to people who move in, is that going to have a negative effect on making sure that all the infrastructure is in place? That’s the concern I have.”

Dudy said anything that can be done to get homebuyers into homes is wonderful, but he also questioned if that is the role of local government, noting housing is a provincial jurisdiction.

“The more stuff that we start taking on our own sends the message to the province that, ‘Oh, these guys can do that,’” Dudy said. “So then it becomes an expectation on their part, where they come back to us and say, ‘Well, you did it before. We see no reason why you shouldn’t go down that road. You chose to go there, now you’re going to go there.’”

Fundraisers for mom who lost daughter in crash EMBER YOUNG, 6, DIED IN THE HEAD-ON COLLISION ON NOV. 18 NEAR LOGAN LAKE. EMBER’S SISTER HAILEY, 5, AND MOM JORDAN SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES IN THE HIGHWAY 97 CRASH KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Fundraisers have been launched to help the mother of the six-year-old girl who was killed in a two-vehicle crash south of Logan Lake on Nov. 18.

Ember Young died in the head-in collision on Highway 97C near Foley Road that occurred in snowy conditions at about 12:15 p.m.

Ember’s five-year-old, sister Hailey and mom Jordan Goetz sustained serious injuries.

Macy Jarry has organized a campaign to raise money to help cover costs of Ember’s funeral.

The fundraiser is online at gofundme.com under “Ember Young’s funeral expenses.”

“I am setting this up on Jordan’s behalf as she is in no

condition to do it herself,” Jarry said in the gofundme post.

“If anyone can help make the financial impact of this situation even a little bit easier on the family, it’s the least we can do in such a devastating time. Thank you for any donation whatsoever.”

Another fundraiser on gofundme.com has been created by Ray Wiens. It can be found by searching “Ember Young family.”

Wiens noted the family has been through tragedy before as Jordan’s husband died this past August.

Jordan and the girls moved in with Jordan’s parents in Merritt, from where they were evacuated last week as the city flooded.

They then went to Jordan’s grandmother’s home, but were

again evacuated, this time to Kamloops.

Wiens said the trio was en route to his home in Lower Nicola, near Merritt, when the accident occurred.

Cpl. Mike Halskov of the BC Highway Patrol said the crash involved a passenger vehicle and a large utility vehicle.

The RCMP, BC Coroners’ Service and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement branch are investigating.

Halskov said the cause of the collision remains under investigation, adding there is no evidence to suggest any criminality as a contributing factor.

Anyone with information about this collision, including any dash-cam video, is asked to call police at 250-378-4262 and quote file 2021-5574.

Lifetime achievement award for Marr DALE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

Retired lawyer and longtime brain injury advocate David Marr was honoured recently with a lifetime achievement award for his passion and service.

Marr’s advocacy work for the local asso-

ciation was instrumental in bringing awareness of brain injury to the Kamloops region.

As a founder of the Kamloops Brain Injury Association and the Brain Injury Alliance of B.C., Marr was instrumental in establishing the alliance and in securing funding through the provincial government.

“I’m very grateful for receiving it,”

Marr said of the honour.

His work saw him directly speaking out for brain injury survivors as a lawyer in court, ensuring there was a well-rounded support system in place for them outside the courthouse.

Marr specialized his legal practice in the area of brain injury and often helped survivors of brain injury get heard in court.

“I’m a little bit hesitant.”

Marr said, of receiving the award. “I worked with such wonderful people putting together the Kamloops Brain Injury Association when we started in 1986.”

That year, a group of brain injury survivors approached Marr, asking if they could start an organization.

During the first three years, the Kamloops Brain Injury Association was nothing more than a coffee party, held once a month

in Marr’s reception room office.

“They came from Merritt, from Ashcroft, from Salmon Arm and from Kamloops,” Marr said. “Two nurses came down and talked to them about how they should exist in the community and where they should seek help. You could just see

the relief in their faces, having somebody that understood their problems.”

Marr said there is a long list of others who have helped over the years, including members of the community, Royal Inland Hospital and individual supporters, such as the late Dr. Gur Singh.

Kamloops Coun.

Mike O’Reilly wants the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to contribute financially to new recreational facilities in the city.

At its latest meeting, Kamloops council heard of a need for $234 million worth of recreational facilities, including a performing-arts centre ($90 million), a recre-

ational swimming pool ($50 million), a twin-sheet ice arena ($45 million), an expanded curling facility ($30 million) and indoor field and gym space ($19 million), as identified in the city’s recreation master plan.

O’Reilly said that while Kamloops typically funds such facilities on its own, residents of the regional district utilize them and areas around Kamloops, such as Chase, Sun Peaks, Tobiano and Logan Lake, are growing.

“One big thing is the funding for these,” O’Reilly said.

“We continually go back to the City of Kamloops taxpayers and, as we look and as we sit and hear from the ThompsonNicola Regional District, their highest growth areas are the areas directly surrounding the City of Kamloops. … The actual capital investment is something I think we should look at from the TNRD to help support this.”

It would be the most significant increase in Kamloops in recent memory.

That is in part due to RCMP costs. The city is on the hook for $6 million in payments retroactive 2017, to be funded from reserves, as well as $2.52 million in additional RCMP contract costs in 2022, to be funded via taxation.

Singh’s notice of motion also calls on the federal government to consult with municipalities prior to implementing initiatives that could impact city finances and policing in communities.

A CAPITAL IDEA Singh is in Ottawa this week for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) board meeting, which concludes on Nov. 26.

Singh said that, in addition to the issue of police funding for municipalities, the FCM board is discussing safe supply amidst the ongoing opioid overdose crisis, Supreme Court of Canada cases making it more difficult for police to hold people in custody and climate action.

According to police, a pickup truck blew through a stop sign on Battle Street and crashed into a southbound vehicle travelling up First Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 3, 2019.

2019 crash that killed three leads to lawsuits MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM IINITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

While a criminal trial has yet to begin, lawsuits have been filed against the man charged in connection to a fatal hit-and-run more than two years ago that claimed the lives of three Nigerian students in Kamloops.

Reid McKnight, a Canadian Armed Forces solider, is charged with failure to stop at an accident involving death and three counts of dangerous driving causing death.

He is alleged to have been the driver who fled a crash in downtown Kamloops on Nov. 3, 2019.

The collision claimed the lives of Daniel Okocha, Feyisola Adebowale and Oluwatosin Adeojo, all of whom were international students at Thompson Rivers University.

A fourth passenger in their vehicle survived the crash with injuries.

The parents of Adebowale and Okocha each launched civil suits against McKnight on Oct. 28, seeking unspecified amounts in costs and damages.

Both lawsuits have named McKnight, the estate of Adeojo, who also died in the crash, and a John Doe as defendants.

The lawsuits claim the collision and deaths were caused by negligence on the part of either, all or a combination of the defendants. Both civil suits are seeking general damages, special damages and costs, including expenses for funerals, travel, airfare, accommodation and wage loss.

Both plaintiffs are being represented by the same legal counsel.

BC Hydro is also suing McKnight for $17,000 in connection with damages to its infrastructure from the crash, court documents state.

Have a heart to give for a heart to live Donate for Cardiac Care “CATH LAB" at RIH

That suit was filed on Oct. 19.

McKnight, the registered owner of the pickup truck that hit the car carrying the students, was charged in September 2020, though he was arrested and released the day after the incident pending further investigation.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Battle Street and First Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 3, 2019, after a blue Ford Ranger pickup truck collided with a red Dodge Charger carrying the students.

Investigators believe the truck, travelling westbound on Battle, sped through a stop sign and struck the car carrying the students, which was heading south (uphill) on First.

McKnight’s next court date for his criminal proceedings is Nov. 29, at which time he is expected to fix a date for future court proceedings.

Shendruk only IH executive to be based here JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Amidst ongoing concerns at Royal Inland Hospital and calls from city council to have Interior Health’s president and CEO meet with the group, a member of the health authority’s senior executive team is relocating to Kamloops.

Currently, no Interior Health senior executives are based in Kamloops, with the health authority brass primary located in Kelowna.

On Nov. 16, city council requested Interior Health president and CEO Susan Brown come to council to address ongoai163000449791_Affiche11x17 B-C.pdf 1 2021-08-26 15:01:38

ing staffing and communications concerns.

Coun. Mike O’Reilly said the health authority model is not working. He said he fears opening of new buildings at RIH without sufficient staff.

On Thursday, Nov. 18, during the twice annual Thompson-Nicola Hospital District board meeting, O’Reilly reiterated those concerns and questioned whether RIH would be better served with more Interior Health administration based in Kamloops.

“Kamloops council has heard significant responses from people, workers at Royal Inland Hospital, with grave concerns over staffing and what’s creating the

$5.2-million Riverside Park project has begun JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rivers Trail and the pier in Riverside Park closed this week as the city works to replace the spray park, upgrade pathways and build a new change room and washroom facility.

Demolition of the concrete and asphalt surfaces in the park began on Monday as part of a Riverside Park improvement project worth $5.1 million. It is being funded in part with $750,000 in grant dollars.

The scope of the project includes: • replacing the spray park with a new, accessible spray park; • demolishing the old concession and washroom buildings; • constructing/installing a new change room/ washroom building with gender-neutral and accessible components; • completing floodmitigation work, including raising of Rivers Trail between Uji Gardens and

THE PLAN INCLUDES REPLACING SPRAY PARK AND MAIN WASHROOM BUILDINGS Sandman Centre; • paving and widening the Rivers Trail multi-use pathway to three metres between Uji Gardens and Sandman Centre; • installing new lighting, benches and garbage receptacles along the Rivers Trail; • planning the new spray park’s concrete pad to accommodate the possibility of a future skating rink.

Work began between the pier — which is located at the confluence of the North and South Thompson rivers — and Sandman Centre and will move toward Uji Gardens.

The city’s capital projects manager, Darren Crundwell, said the current washroom facility is old and in need of replacement.

He said Rivers Trail will be widened and elevated, with new lighting

installed.

The city is working through winter in order to avoid freshet, when waters rise in the spring.

Supply chain issues are not expected to impact the project.

Council decided against installation of an outdoor ice rink previously approved for the same project in order to save money, but $100,000 has been earmarked for brine lines to be installed, leaving the option available in the future, should council choose to fund it.

The Riverside Park project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2022.

The playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, bandshell and green space will remain open.

The beach, pier, Rivers Trail, spray park and washroom building, however, will be closed.

“We lease hotel and motel rooms in Kamloops for various reasons, including for use as shelters, COVID isolation spaces, women’s transition housing and supportive homes,” Gray said in an email to KTW. “To protect the privacy of residents in the Lamplighter Hotel, we are not able to share any further details about the site at this time.”

BC Housing also

Cutober event rasied $7,000

BRIEFS Kiwanis online auction begins

MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another year, another $7,000 has been raised for mental-health and sexual assault counselling agencies in Kamloops.

The Cutober fundraiser was launched last year by Kamloops resident Nathaniel Martin to collect money for the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) and the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

This year’s fundraiser brought in just north of $7,000 for the organizations to split, Martin told KTW. Last year, the campaign raised about $7,400.

Of the money raised last month, about $5,000 came from a group effort at Teck’s Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake, where Martin works.

The rest was donated by members of the public who made donations, purchased Cutober merchandise and attended the Oct. 2 live haircuts event at Aberdeen Mall, where six dads got new dos from their kids.

The fundraiser sees parental participants receive a unique haircut from their children and pledge to sport it through November — one minute for every dollar raised during the month of October.

Martin started Cutober with his daughter in October 2020 as a way to raise funds for and aware-

The Kiwanis Club of Kamloops’ annual radio auction has moved online and will take place from Nov. 24 to Nov. 28.

Money raised from auctioning off more than 200 items goes to support children in Kamloops via various endeavours. To bid, go to the Kiwanis Club of Kamloops Facebook page.

“We may not know the clients’ names or faces that the KSACC or CMHA will help with these funds, but the point was we know they’re out there waiting to be heard, and the kids and these dads hope that this will help open a few doors for them,” Martin said an email.

“Until next October, be kind and patient, maybe hold a door or two, buy a stranger a coffee or simply stop and offer a family with taking a picture their phone to avoid those awkward selfie shots — it might just make all the difference.”

SPCA craft fair at TRU on Nov. 28 The BC SPCA Kamloops and District’s 22nd annual Christmas Craft Fair will take place on Sunday, Nov. 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the TRU Conference Centre on the university campus.

The event will feature more than 100 local crafters, vendors, artists, craftsmen/women and more. All proceeds raised will go toward providing assistance and care for animals and guardians within the Kamloops district.

South Kam students create latest art calendar KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Art students at South Kamloops secondary have again created a calendar that is available for purchase, with proceeds going to future visual arts initiatives at the school.

Impressions of Kamloops 2022 acrylic paintings were created by the students, who were inspired by Canadian artists.

Teacher Lisa Yamaoka said 58 students investigated artistic styles as a way to connect to the local community and share about their learning. The theme focuses on artistic impressions and personal experience about Kamloops.

Yamaoka said the art students started their learning with a field trip to the Kamloops Art Gallery for a tour of the fall exhibit Holding a Line in Your Hand.

Inspired by both historical and contemporary Canadian artists, students investigated artistic styles as a way to connect to and create a personalized images about Kamloops.

Jurors who had the difficult task of selecting the featured images for the

calendar included Kirsten Gardner, the Kamloops Art Gallery’s school programs co-ordinator, Cory Langevin and Tanya Pawliuk of the school’s parent advisory council and Nicole Tomm, a South Kamloops secondary counsellor.

Yamaoka noted the school’s parent advisory council and the City of Kamloops’ arts and culture engagement group also lend their support.

A small opening to celebrate the calendar’s creation was held in the Sagebrush Theatre lobby for students and their families.

A number of the works will be shared at events in the theatre until Dec. 15. There is also a virtual exhibition to view all the artwork online at tinyurl.com/p6pbmw5x.

Those interested in supporting the annual fundraiser can purchase postcards ($12) and 2022 calendars ($15) at the South Kamloops secondary main office at 821 Munro St. in Sagebrush, at the The Art We Art, 264 Victoria St. downtown and the Kamloops Art Gallery, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.

Free concert on Nov. 26 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Indigenous Connections team at Kamloops Alliance Church, led by Woodland Cree elder Norm McCallum, is inviting Kamloops residents and evacuees from flooded areas to enjoy a country gospel Christmas evening of song and celebration featuring 14-time Aboriginal Award winner Yvonne St. Germaine.

The free concert will take place at Kamloops Alliance Church, at 200 Leigh Rd. at the north side of Overlanders Bridge, on Friday, Nov. 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“We know it’s been a very difficult season for so many with all that has been happening throughout the world, within our Kamloops community, and for our neighbours in Merritt, Princeton and beyond,” McCallum said.

“When we first planned this special concert a few months ago, it was my vision to build bridges with all peoples that would unite us in love and understanding and open the windows of our hearts toward one another and with Indigenous peoples of this country,” he said.

The concert at Kamloops Alliance Church in North Kamloops will include songs from Yvonne St. Germaine (above) and a Christmas message from Norm McCallum.

“Now more than ever, I see how special it is to open our doors to not only our local community, but also to those who are here with us in Kamloops hoping to return home.”

The free event will kickstart the holiday season through stories and a Christmas message from McCallum, plus music by Yvonne St. Germaine, a selfproclaimed “Métis-gal from Saskatoon” who, through song and sharing, hopes to bring light and joy to the lives of many.

“I have dedicated my heart to our Indigenous communities, not only in song, but in motivational speaking to help bring heal-

ing,” St. Germaine said.

“Those who join us at the event can expect to hear a spin on my own sound of country gospel music.

“My vision is that my music will help the community of Kamloops and all evacuees enjoy an evening of hope, knowing that no matter who you are or where you come from, we are a community.”

Because the event is deemed a worship event by the public health officer, vaccine passports will not be required, although masks will be mandatory, a physically distanced section will be available and all COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

What does it mean to be Orthodox? Part 9 of 10

W

hat is the difference between Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism? Like so many other questions I have explored in this series, the answer is a matter of history.

In July 1054 A.D., a papal delegate, Cardinal Humbert, arrived in Constantinople from Rome to excommunicate the Patriarch of Constantinople and the entire Eastern Orthodox Church. Known as “The Great Schism,” this date marks the official split between the two churches, which has not been healed to this day.

How did it come to this?

Flash back 600 years or more, to a period when no distinction could be made between “Roman Catholic” and “Orthodox.” There was only the church, composed of dioceses in urban centres throughout the empire, each headed by a bishop who governed, along with his presbyters and deacons.

Bishops who ruled the largest cities (like Alexandria and Constantinople) or centres of spiritual distinction (like Rome, Jerusalem and Antioch) took on a special prominence. Among these, Rome was preeminent.

Both saints Peter and Paul had been martyred there and St. Peter was Rome’s first bishop. In addition, Roman Christians had a reputation for solid theological teachings and, in matters

V. Rev. Richard René is the priestin-charge of St. Nicholas Orthodox Mission (orthodoxkamloops.ca), an English-language Eastern Orthodox Church for the Kamloops community.

of dispute, the bishop of Rome regularly offered wise and godly arbitration.

Despite his theological authority, however, the bishop of Rome did not meddle in the jurisdictions of other bishops.

They often sought his opinion, but they did not need his approval to make decisions within their own dioceses. In fact, all bishops were equal by virtue of their consecration, whether they ruled prestigious urban centres or small cow towns.

Then, beginning in the late fourth century, Germanic tribes from the north began a series of invasions, cutting off Western Europe (the diocese of the bishop of Rome) from the rest of the empire, including Alexandria, Constantinople, Jerusalem and Antioch.

Communication between East and West virtually ceased.

In its isolation, the Western church faced unique problems.

of Spain adopted Arianism (a heresy that denied the full equal divinity of Jesus with God the Father), Spanish theologians proposed an addition to the fourth century Nicene Creed.

Where the original version of the Creed said the Holy Spirit “proceeded from the Father,” the revised version stated that the Holy Spirit “proceeded from the Father and the Son.” By adding this clause (“filioque” in Latin), the theologians hoped to equate the authority of Jesus with God the Father and refute the Arians.

Another unique Western controversy centred around investiture. According to custom, a newly consecrated bishop would receive his staff and ring of authority from the local lord, on whose land the diocese was located. This “lay investiture” was, in effect, the state’s approval of church authority.

However, because Germanic legal traditions gave the lord possession over anything on his land, the lords felt they could invest only those bishops they preferred, such as their relatives or political favourites.

In reaction to these abuses, the pope asserted supreme jurisdictional authority over the church, including all church appointments, quite separate from state approval. Anyone who disagreed would be excommunicated.

Remember, these controversies and their solutions took place in the West, completely

isolated from the East. In fact, neither side of the empire had any real sense of what was happening in the other.

When some semblance of political stability returned to Western Europe around the 10th century, westerners began to engage in sustained ways with eastern Christians once again — and only then did it become clear just how far apart they had grown.

The jurisdictional authority of the pope was not just absolute in the diocese of the West, it was absolute everywhere, in the whole of Christendom on pain of excommunication.

And so, we arrive at that fated day in 1054, when Cardinal Humbert flung down the papal bull of excommunication on the altar of Haghia Sophia and stormed out in a self-righteous huff. The Patriarch of Constantinople’s retaliatory excommunication of the Pope followed as a matter of course.

The formal schism between the East and the West was not by any means sealed in 1054 A.D. Only in the 13th century, when Roman Catholic knights of the Fourth Crusade sacked and burned Constantinople, was the separation between the two churches finally cemented with Christian blood.

Today, Catholic and Orthodox theologians are striving to heal the wounds inflicted 10 centuries ago.
