Dudy announces mayoral run JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Surrounded by a group of notable Kamloopsians, two-term city councillor and farmer Dieter Dudy, announced on Monday morning his intention to run for mayor in the Oct. 15 civic election.

It’s not the first time Dudy, who moved to Kamloops in 1989 and turns 67 later this month, has made such an announcement.

In 2011, he challenged then-incumbent mayor Peter Milobar and came close to winning, finishing 235 votes behind Milobar.

On Monday, Dudy announced his mayoral candidacy amidst wind gusts by the high water marker in Riverside Park on the South Thompson River.

“I can’t believe it’s been almost 10-anda-half years since I last had this announcement,” Dudy said. “You know, butterflies don’t go away even after 10-and-a-half years.

In any event, there’s been a lot of speculation and rumours with regard to what I’m going to be doing this October and I want to set that to rest. … I plan on being the next mayor of Kamloops.”

Following his previous run for mayor, Dudy said he gained confidence because he came so close and had only launched a campaign to ensure Milobar did not run uncontested. He said he knew he would run again.

Since then, Dudy has two council terms under his belt. He said his calm demeanour makes him right for the job and he hopes to lead Kamloops down a road of prosperity and opportunity.

As for what issues will be important in the next term, Dudy cited homelessness, the opioid overdose crisis and business recovery post-pandemic. He is also in favour of a Kamloops Centre for the Arts.

In a video posted to his campaign website, Dudy noted his desire for a public market and gathering place, as well as building and maintaining Tournament Capital amenities. He said he would release more information on his platform later.

Dieter Dudy announced his mayoral campaign on Monday in Riverside Park. The civic election is scheduled to be held on Oct. 15.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW

Dudy said he is in talks with someone about taking over management of his Thistle Farm in Westsyde, but noted he will continue to be at the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market on Saturdays.

“So, you can always visit your mayor at my stall,” he quipped. “Not just for vegetables.”

Dudy is the fourth person to announce an intention to run for mayor since Mayor Ken Christian announced on Family Day that he will not seek re-election.

Fellow Coun. Arjun Singh has also announced, as has former councillor Ray Dhaliwal (who served on council for one year after being elected in the October 2017 by-election) and downtown businessman Reid Hamer-Jackson.

Asked what makes him think he can beat Singh, Dudy said: “I came into this knowing that it was a risk, but I also came in this knowing that I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think I could win it. I believe that I’ve got — I’m trying to be professional here — I just believe that I’m more balanced in my approach and that I have broader appeal, so I feel I can get the masses on my side.”

Managing Dudy’s campaign is Henry Pejril. Pejril is president of the Kamloops Sports Council and has run successful

political campaigns in the past, including for Terry Lake, Peter Milobar and Ken Christian.

Speaking with KTW, Pejril said the people with whom he works are his friends.

“It’s more about the person,” he said.

“The politics comes second.”

Pejril said he likes Dudy’s approach, describing him as someone who brings people together, but one who can also be firm when decisions need to be made.

Lake, who previously sat in the mayor’s chair, was also on hand Monday. He told KTW he has known Dudy for years and has been following him on council. He said a good mayor is a community champion and someone who brings together a team because the mayor ultimately only gets one vote, as do each of the other eight city councillors.

“I think he’s the right balance of business interests, addressing social issues and kind of bringing people together around a common cause,” Lake said. “I think you need someone that can build a consensus.”

Randy Sunderman has sat on two boards with Dudy, including Community Futures and Kamloops Voters Society. He described him as a “good problem solver.”

Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir said she was surprised Pope Francis apologized for the Catholic church’s role in Canada’s residential school system.

The pontiff made the apology on April 1, with some 190 Indigenous representatives, young and old, at the Vatican.

“I ask for God’s forgiveness and I want to say to you with all my heart, I am very sorry. And I join my brothers, the Canadian bishops, in asking your pardon,” Pope Francis said.

Casimir was one of 32 Indigenous delegates between groups representing First Nations, Inuit and Métis populations visiting Vatican City and meeting the pope last week to discuss reconciliation for residential school abuses.

Casimir and 12 other Assembly of First Nations (AFN) representatives met Pope Francis on March 31.

Though an apology from the pope was one of the delegation’s objectives, Casimir said she wasn’t expecting to hear it.

Following the AFN meeting, however, Casimir said she felt Pope Francis listened, took time to reflect on their messages and felt compelled to make the apology. “[I’m] truly honoured that he listened and he heard and to be able to witness that as well,”

Casimir said.

Casimir said the trip, for her, was about making steps toward reconciliation while seeking justice, noting she was honoured to bring forth the messages of her people, residential school survivors and the missing children of residential schools.

The pope’s apology was one step forward and gives her people hope, Casimir said, adding that with residential school survivors now passing away at elderly ages, they need to hear words of accountability.

Casimir said the AFN delegation made a presentation during its meeting with the pope, which lasted about two hours, with a translator present.

“When we met with the pope, he really took the time to share with us his appreciation for how we feel and care for the land,” Casimir said.

“He truly listened to our voices and he shared with us

that he had such shame for what had happened [at residential schools] and he said he was very sorry and what happened was deplorable.”

Casimir said when she spoke with Pope Francis, she talked about the impact a meaningful apology would have, as well as how meaningful it would be to welcome him to her community.

During their meeting, Casimir, as intended, handdelivered the pope an invitation to visit Tk’emlúps during his trip to Canada later this year.

The pope said he hopes to make the trip in the days around the Feast of St. Anne, which is July 26.

Upon meeting Pope Francis, Casimir said she explained to him she was passing along an invitation to visit Tk’emlúps, in the form of a handwritten missive.

She said he acknowledged receipt of the invitation

and thanked her for it, but didn’t specifically commit to a Tk’emlúps visit at the meeting.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done in the background to be able to confirm the locations he’ll be attending,” Casimir said.

“I really hope he does. For me, it would just add to this historical moment.”

April 1 marked the official conclusion of the delegation’s trip to the Vatican, but Casimir spent a few more days in Rome before flying back to Canada on Tuesday.

Casimir said she is looking forward to coming home and sharing with her community, other chiefs and residential school survivors the messages she gave to the pope and the response she received.

“They want to work with us and they want to move forward in a good way,” Casimir said of the Catholic church.

There have been calls for the pope to apologize since May 2021, when the Tk’emlúps band announced it had found signs of 200 probable graves on the site of the former Kamloops Residential School.

A papal apology is also one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 calls to action.

Fixed Term Contracts for your Business?

Climate action funds approved in budget talks JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops taxpayers are looking at a 4.92 per cent property tax increase this year after council on Tuesday approved a number of supplemental budget items.

Approvals included money for climate action, accessible playgrounds, new staff and recreation upgrades.

During a committee of the whole meeting, council received a budget update from the city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, and heard that new growth was higher than expected, amounting to an additional $400,000 to city coffers, on top of the anticipated $1 million. The city is also anticipating an additional $155,000 in recreation revenues with a return to normalcy from the COVID19 pandemic.

However, Humphrey noted some added costs since the last budget update, such as gasoline impacts as the war in Ukraine rages on (equating to about $120,000 for every 10 cent per litre

increase at the pump) and funding of part of the TNRD Building downtown, part of which the city owns.

The city will need to spend $70,000 to replace a chiller and add $30,000 in annual operating costs to fund security and snow removal for the building, which houses the Thompson-Nicola Regional District headquarters, the Kamloops Art Gallery and the public library.

The biggest impact on taxation is community climate action funding, proposed to be a 0.35 per cent tax hike per year for the next five years in order to build up a fund to pay for initiatives outlined in the city’s recently approved community climate action plan.

Multiple councillors, as well as Mayor Ken Christian, noted they struggled with the funding because of the financial hit on residents, but ultimately voted in favour due to information recently released from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Coun. Dieter Dudy said he supports the initiative and suggested it should be

Contracts create certainty in employment relationships, but these contracts can take many different forms. For many employers, fixed term contracts are a great option. They define a term of employment, which could exempt the employer from having to pay additional severance when the term ends.

But, there are pitfalls too, such as having the employee work past the end date...

increased in the future.

Coun. Bill Sarai, however, argued that whether climate action funding starts this year or next year, it will not make a difference. He said taxes should stay low this year.

Coun. Mike O’Reilly noted council significantly increased funding for active transportation and the city has not calculated into its equation initiatives such as making the Canada Games Aquatic Centre more energy-efficient. O’Reilly said tax increases are passed down the line to renters, who are facing high prices.

Coun. Dale Bass said if council did not choose to fund initiatives outlined in the Community Climate Action Plan, “we’re just a bunch of hypocrites.”

Coun. Sadie Hunter cautioned against an “individualist approach,” saying the city should provide leadership as it asks residents, businesses, institutions and developers to cut down their greenhouse gas emissions.

Council voted 7-2 in favour of approving the climate action funds, with councillors O’Reilly and Sarai opposed.

Budgeting for the future of our students

T

his month, the School District 73 board of education presents its draft budget and budget process and priorities for the upcoming school year.

The budget priorities are informed by the 2022-2027 district strategic plan, which is under development.

Since September 2021, we have consulted with more than 1,250 students, parents, staff and partner associations, especially the Aboriginal Education Council.

Four values emerged: connections/relationships, well-being, sustainability and equity.

These values are enacted through our collective commitment to the seven grandfather teachings: courage, love, wisdom, humility, respect, truth and honesty.

Every department co-articulated how they will live these values through our mission: Supporting learning opportunities and environments which inspire students to thrive.

Our five district priorities tell “how” students will thrive academically, socially, emotionally, personally and culturally within a fair, responsible and sustainable resource-allocation system.

An estimated $207 million, the 2022-2023 annual budget is composed of three funds: operating, special purpose and capital.

Operating funds are approximately 84 per cent of our overall annual budget and are dedicated

to staffing, programming, supports and services enabling students to meet or exceed literacy and numeracy expectations, to transition grade-to-grade on time and to develop competencies to achieve their life goals through career programming.

Operating funds also enable sought-after programming, such as the RCMP Youth Academy.

These experiences exemplify how we support learning opportunities and environments for students to thrive.

Capital funds make up approximately six per cent of our overall annual budget and support facility upgrades, childcare spaces, purchasing portable classroom space, furniture, information technologies and buses.

Our community and region have seen exceptional growth, which has put unacceptable pressure on a number of neighbourhood schools.

With enrolment numbers climbing by the equivalent of

a medium- sized elementary school each year, we maximize space in existing facilities, which has required 13 school catchment area changes since April 2021 and the re-opening of two schools in five years.

What our district most needs are capital funds for new schools and child cares. We have applied for capital funds to support child care at two schools.

While applications take time and are competitive, we hope to serve our youngest learners and families to connect to our schools early, to develop relationships and to experience a sense of welcoming, caring and belonging that nurtures their

trust in our school system and personal growth through excellence in early learning programming.

We will continue to work with the Ministry of Education to increase capital funds for these pressing needs.

Special purpose funds are 10 per cent of our overall annual budget and are targeted by the ministry to their intended purpose, such as CommunityLINK (e.g., food security), classroom enhancement fund (teachers), support staff learning improvement fund (certified education assistants), early learning (e.g., Seamless Day), mental health and school-generated funds

(school activities, fundraisers).

These targeted funds provide much-needed services and should ideally be part of operating funds.

Please review the 2022-2023 draft annual budget online at sd73.bc.ca and offer your feedback via email at budgetfeedback@sd73.bc.ca by April 19.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor: Can the powers-that-be explain why a building at 235 Lansdowne St. downtown will be used as a supervised druguse site once Interior Health’s mobile RV is decommissioned and no longer used for that purpose?

The site at the corner of First Avenue and Victoria Street West — which houses a storage facility for the homeless, alongside a gathering place — continues to cause harm to the local businesses and residents.

That site and the new supervised drug-use location are both near the two main access points to Riverside Park and Sandman Centre.

With COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, it is the beginning of summer, when locals and tourists will be visiting Riverside Park to enjoy the park, Music in The Park and other community activities.

People already don’t feel comfortable walking on Victoria Street and now anyone who wants to visit Riverside Park will be confronted by people using drugs under supervision and the related problems stemming that activity.

There are tourists who visit Kamloops who have told me they will not stay in the downtown core.

Is this really the picture we want Kamloops to be known for, not only to local residents, but to any visitors that may visit our city?

What are the people behind this decision thinking?

Don’t they realize the damage they are causing not only to local businesses, but to the mental health of Kamloops residents when decisions like this are made?

OF SERVICE TO COUSINS CLUBS Editor: Amid the disinformation, propaganda and conflicting reports coming at me regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I have to sieve out the truthful nuggets of actual information.

This is not always easy in the fog of war, where truth is the first casualty.

From within this fog come official statements for what can and cannot be done. I understand the cautious rationale to not further inflame the situation, to not start the Third World War. I also get the importance of measured responses and diplo-

macy.

But the thing I really get is the need for humanitarian assistance.

Given the geopolitical complexities for those officials who are responsible for keeping things as cool and contained as possible, I have to ask: what can ordinary folks do?

Perhaps international service clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions and others — which have chapters in cities around the world, including across Europe — can work within their international networks to support their cousin clubs that are on the ground and supporting refugees.

ONE THEFT TOO MANY TO STAY IN CITY Editor: Some time during the night/early morning of April 1 and April 2, someone opened the gate to my yard and cut down and stole all of my spring flowers.

I will not get the

opportunity to enjoy them bloom this year.

I have been renting a home on the North Shore for the past three years. My car has been broken into, there have been two burglary attempts at my home

while I was sleeping and, on numerous occasions, I have had to chase drug users out of my backyard as they try to set up camp.

But the theft of my spring flowers is the last straw. I am out of here.

Perhaps Kamloops clubs can communicate with their cousins in Europe to gain a reality check that can pierce the fog.

Perhaps Kamloops citizens can support those service clubs that initiate programs in aid of the refugee crisis.

This is ordinary people getting involved to help other ordinary people who are in danger.

This is democracy in action.

City’s top cop talks decrim JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky is in favour of decriminalization — but not the amount currently proposed by the provincial government.

The province is seeking an exemption from Health Canada via the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which would decriminalize possession of 4.5 grams for opioids, cocaine and methamphetamine.

When speaking recently with Kamloops council, Lecky said 4.5 grams proposed for personal use is too high. He said a deadly dose of fentanyl is one tenth of a gram.

“Four-and-a-half grams is an incredible amount,” Lecky told council. “We need other tools to be able to do our job because right now there is very little I can do. I might be able to approach you in a park for drinking an open can of beer, but I won’t be able to do much with you if decriminalization comes through as proposed with those incredible amounts of legalized amounts of illicit drugs.”

Speaking with reporters, Lecky did not have in mind a number of grams that would be appropriate for personal use.

He said it should be considered on a drug by drug basis.

“It’d be far less,” he said, adding he cannot provide a number because he is not an expert in the field. “Who knows why they settled on that number? I just know it’s not the right number.”

Lecky said police officers will generally say 4.5 grams of illicit drugs does not make sense.

As for how the threshold will make policing more difficult, Lecky explained it links back to documentation required of police to be granted a search warrant by a judge.

He said one opportunity to get that search warrant is observing behaviour, such as selling or exchanging money for drugs. He said police would not be able to arrest someone for drug trafficking if they have four grams of illicit drugs. He questioned the need to walk around with four grams of illicit drugs and suggested it is mainly traffickers.

Decriminalization has been among proposed solutions suggested by advocates as the province continues to grapple with an overdose overdose crisis, which was declared a public health emergency in B.C. in 2016.

Since then, there have been more than 9,000 such deaths in the province.

Foul play not suspected in death of man KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The identity of a male body pulled from the North Thompson River has been established, but no crime is believed to have occurred.

Kamloops Mounties were called to the 4300-block of

Westsyde Road on March 29 to investigate a report of a body floating in the river near that location, BC RCMP Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said in a release.

Shoihet said an officer from the RCMP dive team was deployed to assist in

recovering the body.

According to the Kamloops RCMP, no criminality is suspected to have been involved in the man’s death.

The BC Coroners Service is conducting its own concurrent investigation.

Where did bone originate?

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

An investigation into the discovery of a human bone near Kamloops Airport remains ongoing.

A person walking their dog on Airport Trail near Aviation Way on March 26 found the human bone.

Kamloops RCMP Const. Crystal Evelyn said officers were called out at 5:20 p.m., noting police contacted a BC Coroners Service anthropologist, who confirmed the bone was human.

“The investigation into who the bone

belonged to and the circumstances surrounding its discovery is ongoing and will be done in consult with the BC Coroners Service,” Evelyn said.

Officers searched the area, but did not find anything else connected to the human bone.

As the circumstances of the bone’s discovery remain unclear, police are not disclosing what type of human bone was found.

Kamloops RCMP seeks witnesses after truck hits and kills two dogs KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are searching for the driver of a pickup truck that struck and killed two dogs in Brocklehurst early Monday morning.

Const. Crystal Evelyn said police were called to the area of Ord Road and McLean Street at about 5 a.m. after a black, short box Dodge pickup truck collided with two dogs that had escaped a nearby yard.

According to the police report, the truck’s driver allegedly stopped briefly, yelled at those present,

then made comments about having to get to the airport before continuing westbound on Ord. Evelyn said officers patrolled the airport, but did not find the vehicle.

“Although no licence plate was obtained, we are hopeful someone from the area will have captured video surveillance featuring the truck, which will help police identify and contact the driver as part of the investigation,” Evelyn said.

Police are also asking the truck’s driver and passenger to contact police as soon as possible.

The driver is a white man, about 30 years of age, with a slim build and short, buzz-cut hair. The passenger is a female with a slim build. She wore her hair up and was wearing a dark, three-quarter-length jacket and tights.

Police are asking the public to check security and dash-cam footage to see if it captured a westbound black pickup truck on Ord Road between 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.

Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 and reference file 2022-10810.

A crash on Highway 5 on Sunday claimed the life of a Kelowna man Kamloops Mounties and other emergency personnel were called to the 6000-block of the highway at about 6 p.m. for a report of a vehicle that left the road and crashed, ejecting the driver and sole occupant.

The man, in his 50s, was taken to Royal Inland Hospital in critical condition and died shortly thereafter.

Healthy happy feet allow for happy healthy people.

There are so many benefits to proper foot care. It is essential as we walk an average of 5,000 to 10,000 steps per day. As we age, the steps we take may decrease because of preventable foot problems and pain.

However, taking care of our feet will aid in mobility and hopefully add to longevity. The ability to partake in regular physical activity will also add to the quality of life. Exercise helps to ward off diseases such as Diabetes and heart conditions. Exercise also reduces stress and helps with mental health. Caring for your feet contributes to good physical health, selfsufficiency and ability to perform daily tasks.

Improper foot care can impede function at work, physical activity, ability to accomplish day to day tasks or simply enjoy life. It can affect posture, gait and balance which may lead to a decrease in mobility and function. This can lead to further pain, crepitus and issues that may not be reversible.

One can prevent this by simply caring for their feet. Proactive measures such as proper foot wear, keeping nails trimmed, regular visits with a foot care professional who will be able to assess and determine any issues. A foot care nurse is trained and able to recognize early signs and hopefully prevent most future problems from occurring.

City, SD73 discuss traffic, parking and extreme heat JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

She said challenges in the area are unlikely to go away with catchment changes.

Meanwhile, the school district hopes to have a bigger say in future community planning, with Grieve noting the school district is “overwhelmed” when it looks at KamPlan’s identified areas of growth, including Juniper and Pineview.

Grieve said a school in Juniper West is a very long ways away. She cited a lack of capital dollars and lengthy timelines to get new schools announced — let alone built.

The issue of extreme heat and smoke relief centres was also discussed.

Christian noted six lives lost in Kamloops during the heat dome in June 2021 and asked whether school facilities could be used as shelter in the future.

Grieve, however, explained SD73 gymnasiums generally do not have airconditioning, with the exception being the new Parkcrest school that is not expected to open, along with the new building, until the spring of 2024.

SD73 board vice-chair Meghan Wade said the school board will only be able to help for two months of the year in the summer and possibly at Christmas because, when schools are in session, such shelters are not an option.

The City of Kamloops and School District 73 met on Monday afternoon to discuss myriad issues, including traffic, community planning and facilities usage.

Traffic around the Westmount elementary TH area has been a subject of concern.

The city’s development director, Marvin Kwiatkowski, shared information gleaned from recent meetings between the city and the Westmount The Region of BC’s Best elementary parent advisory committee, including st When?

Expanded space at Valleyview secondary has students, staff feeling connected THE COMPLETED $35-MILLION EXPANSION WILL HOUSE 1,200 STUDENTS AND WILL OPEN FULLY IN SEPTEMBER. A PORTION OF THE NEW BUILDING HAS WELCOMED SOME STAFF AND STUDENTS SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Valleyview secondary’s east wing expansion has opened to students and portables have been removed from the school site, following years of overcrowding.

KTW joined a tour of the expanded space on Monday as a portion of the new building has welcomed some staff and students.

The opening is a welcome change to Roger Turner, a physics and math teacher who has taught at the school for 16 years, with many of those years in a portable classroom.

Turner said learning and teaching in a portable was isolating for students and teachers alike. He said moving into the expanded space has everyone feeling much more connected with the school.

“I don’t think you can understate just how isolating it is to be out in a portable, both for kids and for teachers. So, to finally be a part of Valleyview again, it’s really cool,” he said, emphasizing how much he has enjoyed being visited by staff and students now that they are all under one roof.

The school was designed to be used by 675 students, but there are currently 960 students and 80 staff.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A bird’s-eye view of the Valleyview secondary’s east wing expansion project shows an expanded space, as a portion of the new building has opened for some staff and students on Monday. Crews work to finish the exterior siding and trim. Hallways await flooring installation and paint on the walls before students move in.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 73 PHOTOS

In its 2020-2021 facilities report, School District 73 indicated its utilization was at 140 per cent, with 32 per cent of students dispersed across the site in 12 portables.

The completed $35-million expansion will house 1,200

students and will open fully in September.

“It was packed in here,” Turner said. “Just to get from class to class, it was taking kids five to six minutes. With the lockers open, it was just so claustrophobic.”

Valleyview secondary principal Barb Hamblett said the new space will also allow the school to become more functional, with zones for humanities, science and fine art.

Included in the expansion

Vaccine passport system ends April 8 WHILE NO LONGER MANDATED, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS CAN STILL OPT TO USE THE CARD SEAN BRADY

Dr. Bonnie Henry is the provincial health officer of B.C. GOVERNMENT OF B.C. PHOTO

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The provincial government has decided the vaccine card system is no longer needed and its mandated use will end on Friday, April 8, as was announced earlier this year.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said cases, hospitalizations and deaths have all declined sufficiently to remove the mandate.

Businesses and organizations can still opt to use the system, but its use will no longer be mandated for gatherings, certain businesses or events.

“Each business has to do their own due diligence and has to make sure they have the ability to accommodate people who aren’t vaccinated, whether that’s doing take-away or being able to watch things remotely ... But

it’s still there for people to use, depending on their own safety protocols,” Henry said.

Daily case counts and hospitalizations have been plummeting since late January, the height of the Omicron surge.

“We’re seeing a levelling off in transmission, but that doesn’t mean our province is no longer vulnerable to new and potential variants coming in the future,” Henry said.

The most prominent variant recently, Omicron BA.2, quickly replaced the previous two Omicron variants in B.C. and now accounts for approximately two-thirds of all cases.

With activity picking up and the latest variants still causing widespread infections, Henry is again encouraging people to keep their vaccinations updated, especially those ages 70 and older, who Henry said are much

more likely to end up in hospital or experience severe illness or death.

As a result, Henry announced that second booster doses (which would be fourth doses overall) will be given out for everyone living in long-term care or assisted-living facilities and for those ages 70 and older living in the community, as well as Indigenous people ages 55 and older.

“We’re seeing some waning of that protection in recent weeks, particularly in people over the age of 80,” she said.

Henry also encouraged everyone who is eligible, regardless of age, to get their booster dose. As of Tuesday, 59 per cent of British Columbians age 18 and older had done so.

“If you’ve had Omicron in the last few months, you can wait up to three months, but we do know that the booster dose gives

you stronger and longer lasting protection, even if you’ve had Omicron recently,” Henry said.

Other announcements made on Tuesday include removing the vaccine requirement to live in a post-secondary residence and the transition back to general communicable disease plans for businesses, rather than specific COVID-19 safety plans.

Henry added that the province will soon be reporting vaccination rates among B.C.’s 18 regulated health professions so that those using the services can make informed decisions.

In addition, the province will go from daily reporting to weekly reporting of COVID-19 data, beginning on Thursday, April 7.

“I hope we don’t ever have to go back to orders,” Henry said in response to what may entail a return to health mandates, noting such orders are the legal last resort when the situation is dire.

A handful of emails I received recently began like this: “Tara, I have been thinking about contacting you for several years now.”

If you are one of those folks who have been on the fence, or who have been a little nervous, about the thought of dating, I have some news that will hopefully spur you on a bit.

After five years in the matchmaking business, I will be moving on to a new chapter this fall. Before then, though, I am determined to create more wonderful love matches — and that’s where you come in.

TRU domestic enrolmentTRU declining domestic enrolment d JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University is facing declining domestic enrolment, prompting concerns from university brass as the school lays out its 2022-2023 budget.

The university is expecting $4.2 million less in domestic tuition revenues in the coming year than in the previous year, which equates to a decrease of 5.7 per cent.

In a budget presentation on April 1, the university indicated that since the 2017-2018 school year, faculty compensation has increased from $60 million to

$82 million, while on-campus domestic enrolment has declined from approximately 50,000 course enrolments to about 43,000 enrolments.

In a report to the board, TRU president Brett Fairbairn said there is “continued cause for scrutiny of domestic enrolment trends.”

Fairbairn said domestic applications from B.C. students are flat, relative to the same time last year, and enrolments from the secondlargest source of domestic students, Alberta, have dropped by 14 per cent.

“Almost all of this drop is in post-secondary transfer students, whereas immediate high school applicants from Alberta are currently up six

BC’S FIRST SUBARU DEALERSHIP SINCE 1979

Saturday’s trail derailment on the Canadian National rail line near Kamloops Airport was minor in nature and did not necessitate a investigation by the Transportation Safety Board.

“The TSB is aware of the derailment. No injuries were reported. No release of dangerous good was reported,” TSB spokesperson Alexandre Fournier told KTW. “The TSB has limited its involvement to data-gathering, but will not investigate.”

In a statement, CN confirmed to KTW five railcars derailed in an upright position, but noted there were no fires, leaks or injuries reported.

The crash occurred on a customer track in Kamloops, according to CN. “One grade crossing was temporarily blocked on Tranquille Road due to this incident and CN would like to apologize to motorists for the inconvenience caused,” the rail company said in its statement. “The cause of the incident is under investigation and CN thanks the first responders at the scene.”

CN has not provided an answer as to exactly what time the derailment occurred or what, if any material, was in the five railcars.

Kamloops RCMP reported the derailment at 7:05 a.m., noting a mechanical issue with a train had left Tranquille Road blocked just north of Aviation Way and that Ord Road was unaffected.

There are two rail lines in the area — one that crosses Tranquille Road south of the Suncor energy plant and another to the north of that facility that crosses a portion of Ord Road.

Traffic in both directions on Tranquille Road near the entrance to Kamloops Airport was impacted for about eight hours.

Will CN meet with Kamloops mayor?

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

It is unclear when CN Rail will accept an invitation from the city’s mayor to meet about downtown train issues.

Downtown residents have complained about issues related to increased train traffic in their neighbourhood.

Council was mulling a $1.2-million budget line item on Tuesday that would help to facilitate whistle cessation in the area.

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, however, has said he doesn’t think elimination of the whistle will solve the entire problem and he wants to meet with the rail company to tour the area in question.

Asked about when that meeting will take place, CN Rail manager of public and government affairs Tyler Banick said in an email to KTW: “We are in talks with the city on the whistle cessation topic and waiting for a time that works best for travel and provincial health orders.”

No timeline on the meeting was provided.

KTW asked what public

CONFERENCE & TRADE SHOW APRIL 12 & 13

health orders currently preclude such a meeting, but no answer was provided.

KTW also asked whether CN would fund any initiatives to mitigate the impact of its coal trains on downtown Kamloops.

That question was not answered by CN. “We have nothing further to add at this time,” Banick said in an emailed response.

Future of Stuart Wood is unclear JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The province says decisions about the future of the former Stuart Wood elementary building in downtown Kamloops have been stalled by the pandemic, wildfires and other factors.

KTW reached out to the province for comment on the

status of the property, which includes a heritage building, a portion of which was used for an emergency shelter this past winter.

The building will now go back to being largely vacant, though some city staff are working out of it. The Stuart Wood property is bordered by Third Avenue, Battle Street and St. Paul Street.

Nigel McInnis, a senior

public affairs officer with the provincial government, said in an emailed statement to KTW that the city is able to request interim uses of the property if it wishes to make use of the building and surrounding area, such as in the case of the emergency shelter this past winter.

When the KamloopsThompson school district closed the school in 2016,

GOLD PANNING WITH YUKON DAN

title required it to be used as a school or the land would be forfeited to the province.

“Consultation with affected First Nations is ongoing,” McInnis’ statement reads.

The province could not comment on maintenance costs of the building, McInnis said, although Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian told KTW the city is spending $70,000 per year to maintain the it.

Protecting What Matters Most Life is unpredictable and things often go sideways. Some things are frustrating, like coming home to a burst water pipe and calling the restoration company. Others can be traumatic such as an unexpected injury, illness, or worse, losing a loved one all too soon.

While we cannot control life, we can try to protect what matters most. A common solution can be insurance. To keep things simple, insurance generally falls into two categories:

According to 2019 report from Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA), nearly 33% of Canadians do not have any life insurance. One reason could be that in their study, LIMRA found that nearly 80% of consumers over-estimate the cost of insurance.

3.

Long Term Care: provides assistance should you become unable to care for yourself due to aging, an accident, illness or deteriorated mental ability. Usually measured by inability to perform two or more of activities of daily living including eating, bathing, dressing, etc.

Life insurance generally falls into 2 categories: term and permanent.

4.

Creditor Insurance: Involves insuring your debts in case something should happen to you as debtor. Commonly there is life, disability, and critical illness. It is important to note that the beneficiary of these policies is the lender.

5.

Travel Insurance: There could be some significant changes that arise due to the COVID pandemic. When travelling opens up more, we recommend reviewing any exclusions or updates before you book that next trip. Furthermore, we have heard claims arising from parasailing, scuba diving or riding an AllTerrain Vehicle (ATV) could be denied.

1. Property insurance: covers objects such as your home, car, trailer, etc.

2. Personal insurance: covers individuals from certain illness, injury or death.

Term: coverage for a set period of time. Group policies offered through work benefits often fall under this category as well.

Typically, term is aligned to debt reduction, a retirement date or coverage while caring for dependents.

We will not focus on property coverage other than we are advocates that if you value the property, it should be adequately insured (think replacement value).

Permanent: designed to meet lifelong needs and often referred to as Whole Life or Universal Life. Costs are higher than term insurance and can be paid over a predetermined number of years or life. These products also have the ability to shelter cash value in a tax-deferred manner.

Below are six common types of personal insurance: Life Insurance: Life insurance can serve several needs: paying final expenses and debts, helping replace lost income, maintaining a standard of living, providing tax-free inheritance and assisting in estate wishes, including blended families.

Disability: A 2019 RBC Insurance report revealed that half of working Canadian do not have disability coverage. Also, a 42year old male was 3.5 times more likely to become disabled than die. If you cannot work, who is going to pay your bills, let alone look after your needs? Be careful relying only on group coverage through work because you may be surprised at what your benefits include and how long they pay for.

These are a brief overview of some avenues that could help protect yourself and loved ones. There are many options, and while it can feel overwhelming, we believe working with a trusted insurance advisor can help ensure that you are protecting what matters most Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

Written by Eric

Critical Illness: Covers an individual in the event of being diagnosed with certain life-altering illnesses or diseases. This can help pay down debts, provide cash flow if off work, or enhance quality of life. Common coverages may include heart attack, stroke and cancer. Some cover upwards of 30 different ailments. Coverage will vary by product and provider, and is typically paid out in a lump sum upon diagnosis.

Kamloops to welcome Ukrainians MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Immigrant Services (KIS) knows of numerous Ukrainian nationals intent on resettling in Kamloops as they flee their war-torn country.

The registered charity and other local organizations are mobilizing to welcome Ukrainian refugees, having held a meeting last week amongst various groups and individuals, who discussed potential Kamloops newcomers escaping the war, which began on Feb. 24 with the Russian invasion of the country.

Saejin Chang, KIS settlement team lead, told KTW the organization is expecting 19 Ukrainian refugees will be coming to Kamloops, possibly this week.

To date, KIS is aware of at

least four Ukrainian refugees in the city.

“We are waiting for them to confirm the date they are arriving,” Chang said in reference to the expected arrival of more people from Ukraine.

Chang said it is unclear precisely when refugees will arrive as it takes time to purchase plane tickets and complete biometrics for visas.

“We tell them, once they buy the ticket, contact us right away and we’ll get our resources together,” Chang said.

To date, KIS has compiled a list of 31 people who are offering housing, employment, volunteer time and donations for Ukrainian refugees who arrive in Kamloops.

During last week’s meeting, TRU social work professor Oleksandr Kondrashov said he has also compiled a list of 20 families willing to house Ukrainian refugees.

Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine

• B.C. launches website to help Ukrainian refugees • About the emergency travel program online at kamloops thisweek.com

said his community wants to welcome at least two Ukrainian refugee families, but he is still researching what he needs to do to bring them to the resort municipality.

Adrian Conradi, Thompson Rivers University’s special advisor to the vice-president international, said he knows of Ukrainian students helping more than 10 family members and friends fleeing the country and estimates potentially hundreds of people could

come to Kamloops.

He said he would inform those in the TRU community to contact KIS, which can act as a central registry of sorts.

Kamloops Alliance Church is also sponsoring a Ukrainian national who arrived in December. That person’s mother is trying to flee to Moldova from eastern Ukraine and the church is waiting to assist her, a representative of the church said during last week’s meeting.

Kamloops This Week newsroom staff have been named as finalists in the 2022 Ma Murray Awards, the annual event that recognizes excellence in community journalism in B.C. and Yukon.

Jessica Wallace is a finalist for the John Collison Investigative Journalism Award for her series on spending in the ThompsonNicola Regional District under former CAO Sukh Gill.

That series won the 2021 Jack Webster Award for Best

Community Reporting.

Wallace’s TNRD spending series in the Ma Murray Awards is up against Pique Newsmagazine of Whistler for its story on the municipality of Whistler being targeted by internet ransomware criminals and Ransomware and the Saanich News for its coverage of a sexual assault survivor finding no justice with Saanich police.

Wallace is also a finalist for the Business Writing Award for her feature on city regulations that would allow for motels and hotels to be transformed into residential housing.

The other two finalists in the category are the North Shore News for a story on rent hikes and Pique Newsmagazine for coverage of the labour shortage.

KTW photographer/reporter Dave Eagles is a finalist for the Portrait/Personality Photo Award for his picture of a yoga instructor in a park (seen to the right).

Eagles is up against photos from the North Shore News and Boulevard Magazine of Victoria.

The Ma Murray Awards will be handed out on May 14 at a gala at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Richmond.

Former WolfPack coach Nogic suing TRU CLAIM ALLEGES NOGIC ACCUSED OF SLAPPING STUDENT-ATHLETE, INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING, CALLING PLAYER FAT, BULLYING, MENTAL ABUSE AND HARASSMENT OF PLAYERS MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

G

oran Nogic, former head coach of the TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team, has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court, naming as defendants Thompson Rivers University and two Jane Does, both of whom were on the team he coached.

Nogic is suing the university, alleging defamation and wrongful dismissal, claiming he was terminated without cause on Oct. 18, 2021, after an improper investigation into what he claims are untrue allegations made by a player who left the team in September.

The document notes that on Oct. 11, 2021, Nogic was invited to an urgent meeting with WolfPack athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson and then-TRU assistant vice-president of people and culture Larry Phillips.

“At this meeting, the plaintiff was informed that he was being accused of slapping a student-athlete, inappropriate touching, calling a player fat, bullying, mental abuse and harassment of the players of the TRU women’s basketball team,” the claim alleges.

The statements are retaliatory accusations from a player

ANDREW SNUCINS/TRU SPORTS INFORMATION Former TRU WolfPack women’s basketball head coach Goran Nogic is suing the university, alleging defamation and wrongful dismissal. He was hired to coach the team in May of 2019. Nogic and the Pack parted ways in October.

[Jane Doe No. 1] who quit the team following a behaviour issue at team practice on Sept.

16, Nogic claims in the document.

According to Nogic, he was told by the university during the first meeting that there were two ways to approach the situation — either a formal investigation or a more private, informal investigation.

At the end of the meeting, according to the claim, Nogic was told an informal investigation would be completed.

Nogic claims he was in shock following the first meeting and went to Royal Inland Hospital

as he was in physical and mental distress and having suicidal ideations.

Part of the informal investigation likely included an interview of Jane Doe No. 2, according to the claim, which notes the Jane Does were roommates.

The claim alleges Phillips and Atkinson told Nogic in a phone call on Oct. 12 that Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 confirmed the validity of the accusations.

At a second meeting on Oct. 13, Nogic claims he felt intimidated, harassed and treated unfairly by university

brass and notes he was told he could either resign and leave the team or have an official investigation take place.

On Oct. 18, by way of legal counsel, Nogic informed TRU that he wished to see a formal investigation take place, according to the claim.

Less than an hour after that request, Phillips sent an email to Nogic to notify him of his termination, the claim alleges.

Nogic claims the nature of his dismissal from TRU — the result of an investigation that did not include interviews with all of the WolfPack women’s basketball team mem-

bers, included Atkinson when it should not have and was incomplete in its review of the accusations of Jane Doe No.1 and Nogic’s defence of himself — has limited his future job prospects and he is seeking damages.

He is also claiming damages resulting from public humiliation by the defendants and adverse effects to his health, including significant mental distress, suicidal ideations, depression and anxiety.

None of the allegations in the claim have been proven in court. Once served, defendants have 21 days to file a response. Nogic’s lawsuit was filed in court on April 1.

Nogic, who became known for his animated and intense coaching style, was hired by the WolfPack in May of 2019.

Neither TRU nor Nogic offered details on reasons for his departure when contacted

by KTW on Oct. 18.

“Right of this moment, I can’t [comment],” Nogic told KTW at the time when asked why he is no longer coaching the team. “But for sure you will have the big story in the future. Right now, I can’t. Sorry about that.”

At the time, Atkinson said the WolfPack wished to respect the privacy of all involved and would not be commenting on specific staffing decisions.

Atkinson on Tuesday declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Blazers lose defenceman MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Marko Stacha seems likely to remain sidelined for the remainder of the 2021-2022 WHL campaign.

Stacha, the import defenceman who turned 20 on March 21, has been unable to fully recover from the upper-body injury that has plagued him since his stint with Slovakia in December at the World Junior Hockey Championship.

Blazers’ head coach Shaun Clouston opted not to get into details on the injury.

“There’s still a chance [Stacha returns to the lineup], but it’s a long shot,” Clouston said, noting a lengthy playoff run might allow time for Stacha to recover.

Kamloops acquired Stacha from the Vancouver Giants on Sept. 29 in exchange for a fifthround pick in the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft.

Kaden Hammell, who turned 17 on March 12, has been logging minutes, mostly alongside overage Vancouver Canucks’ prospect Viktor Persson, in the absence of Stacha.

“Kaden has come a long way,” Clouston said. “His game is trending upward. This league is not easy at 16 and he’s handled himself real well. He scored in backto-back games, got in a fight. He’s definitely ready for more playing time.”

The Blazers selected Hammell — the 6-foot-2, 180-pound right shot from Langley — 19th overall in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft.

Stacha plans to remain with the team.

“He’s a pretty inspirational guy,” Clouston said. “He’s extremely well liked and he wants to help out, whether it’s taking stats, and wants to be part of this. He still thinks he can bring some energy to the team. We’re excited and thrilled

don't stop Believing That you can make a difference

THEFATHERSDAYRUN.CA

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Viktor Persson (left) and Kaden Hammell have been playing together on the Kamloops Blazers’ blue line in the absence of Marko Stacha, who is expected to miss the remainder of the WHL season.

MARKO STACHA that’s what he wants to do.”

Quinn Schmiemann and Ethan Brandwood have been playing together throughout the season and that shutdown-pairing partnership seems likely to remain intact through the postseason.

Mats Lindgren, the NHL Draft prospect who began the campaign playing mostly with Persson, seems to have settled in with Logan Bairos, who is enjoying his best season in the WHL. Ryan Michael, who turned 17 on Feb. 5, moves up one spot on the depth chart in the wake of Stacha’s departure.

“He’s the next guy up,” Clouston said.

EXTRA FRAME Kamloops split a pair of games on the weekend, falling 6-5 to the Spokane Chiefs on Friday

at Sandman Centre and edging the hometown Prince George Cougars 4-3 in overtime on Sunday.

Daylan Kuefler tallied the overtime winner, his 38th goal of the season and eighth game-winning goal of the campaign.

Kamloops co-captain Logan Stankoven registered one goal and two points in the victory.

Stankoven is tied for second in the WHL scoring race, with 96 points in 55 games.

Arshdeep Bains of the Red Deer Rebels leads the way, with 101 points in 64 games, and his teammate, Ben King, is tied for second, with 96 points in 64 games.

The Blazers (46-16-2-0) are second in Western Conference standings, three points back of Everett (44-10-4-5), which has a game in hand on Kamloops.

Kamloops has four games remaining in the regular season, all of them 7 p.m. starts at Sandman Centre — Friday, April 8, against Victoria (22-36-5-1), Saturday, April 9, versus Portland (43-16-3-2), Friday, April 15, against Prince George (22-37-31) and Saturday, April 16, versus Vancouver (22-35-4-0).

DANIEL MILLS Executive director of Kamloops Symphony When running long distances — and, really, in all things in life — sometimes it doesn’t matter how fast you are moving, just that you are moving forward.

I’ll admit I am guilty sometimes at going unsustainable speeds in various pursuits, sometimes to my own detriment. Last week, after a weekend spent in the Lower Mainland — which included running along the ocean — I returned to Kamloops just in time for that Tuesday’s RunClub session. A little exhausted from the weekend’s activities, I decided to try something new and joined the power walkers for their training session.

What followed was a surprisingly rejuvenating session of power walking, complete with great conversations with those who make up the group. I discovered some walkers are individuals just starting their fitness journeys. Others are those who have completed many races previously, but enjoy the pace and the social aspect of moving together.

I learned here is truly a place — and pace — for everyone in RunClub and sometimes slowing down can reap many benefits. So, my goal going forward into the week is relaxing my pace, both in physical pursuits and my general life. I’m very fortunate to be playing as a soloist with the Kamloops Brandenburg Orchestra this weekend, an opportunity that had been rescheduled from June 2020.

Hopefully, by taking the week more leisurely, I can truly appreciate the experience, along with life’s other offerings in the weeks to come.

JOSHUA GOTTFRIEDSON Councillor with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Wéyt-kp (hello to more than one).

The support of RunClub is unmatched. The community that is RunClub has helped lift my spirits when they were still snuggled up in my bed at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

Our community is completely and utterly infectious, leaving you with a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart for being placed in their path. It’s something you don’t miss until you’re without.

I was without all week, but that does not mean I didn’t run. My first jaunt without RunClub was on Sunday of last week, when I got to enjoy a great passion of mine — play hockey.

Running after playing three games of hockey and not having any support system was a challenging experience. It felt like I was running in sand and, after a weekend of skating in sand because running muscles do not translate into skating muscles, the Sunday run left me uninspired.

Last Tuesday’s run, while away on business in Richmond after a long drive to the Coast, was another opportunity to long for the support of RunClub. A gift that Jo and RunClub have given me is that of gratitude. I now can see the world of which I am a part.

Wheezing and struggling through a run is a silver lining as we are connected to the earth. The sights and sounds of various environments motivate a runner to embrace the beauty of being outside.

I am a better human with an attitude of gratitude.

Kukwstsetselp (thank you to more than one).

PAUL DE LUCA Sales representative Kamloops This Week Jo’s message last week — pace yourself, you’re not in a halfmarathon yet — came at the perfect time.

My training so far had been going well, normally consisting of several smaller runs throughout the week and one longer run.

I was amazed at the progress I was able to achieve each week, even writing about it in last week’s article.

This past week was different. I had injured my knee as a kid and it never fully healed. To be fair to my body, I have never really given it a good chance to heal, either through snowboarding, surfing or rugby — not the best sports for knees.

Up to this point, I had no real complaints from my knee, aside from the occasional pain, but nothing major. Last week, however, I managed to strain it.

I tried to put pressure on it, but the familiar pain came back. I had to postpone my runs and it was incredibly hard to know I was losing out on time on the pavement, but it had to be done.

Taking time off to reset and recover made me appreciate everything I’ve been able to achieve, but it also gave me great insight into how much more I want to learn from this club, people and activity.

I speak about my journey of running and, so far, it’s been mostly high, but this week was a great reminder that you need to take the bad to truly be able to celebrate and appreciate the good.

The best complement to your run is yoga. Yoga packs serious perks for runners, including flexibility, easing aches and pains and recovery.

You’re doing fantastic. The long run is your anchor. By increasing your long, steady distance safely, you are increasing your endurance, fitness and distance.

Remember to hydrate before, during and after your runs.

Hydrating is energy-giving and reduces inflammation, injury and fatigue.

Half-marathon training is lifechanging. Start visualizing and plan out pacing for Boogie. By putting a plan in your mind, the Boogie half-marathon is already a picture of success.

We all need to get outside more. Many people are vitamin D-deficient, affecting important things like bone health and immune systems.

Boogie Strong in 2022

F

or so many runners, the idea of a group run is either terrifying or out of the question.

I have coached many people through their first day (pre-contemplative stage). The invitation is for them to just come out and try it and the result is always the same — they stay. Showing up on that first day is always the hardest part.

We are now halfway through our Boogie training clinic. More than anything, being witness to others’ growth and self-confidence and realizing their abilities is an out of this world feeling. Seeing them bust through their “I could never be a runner” mindset is a currency that fills our coach team up completely.

It’s an exciting time for everyone. They got through that first day and now see the reality of completing their first 5K, 10K or 21K distance.

And running is so much more fun when you do it with friends. One of my favourite parts about RunClub are the friendships that come out of it, lifetime friendships that last.

There is something magical about movement and friendships. They endure, grow, understand and become stronger with each foot step along the way. Nothing lights me up more than seeing all the strong friendships that happen through running and walking.

Running is a sport that asks you to show up on good days, bad days and forgettable days.

Perhaps this training is the ingredient that lasts in friendships, too — being there for each other through all of the inevitable ups and downs of life. There is a deep sense of belonging no matter what.

Boogie day is the same, when a deep sense of belonging occurs. Never underestimate how incredible it feels to stand with thousands of walkers and runners at the start of Boogie, ready to do something remarkable.

It feels pretty amazing to show up and belong. This is what the Boogie is all about — showing up as you are. Time is precious.

It just is. What are you waiting for? Today is always the day. Register and experience belonging, acceptance and achievement just as you are.

January 5, 1927 - March 26, 2022 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Eva Hegberg, at Royal Inland Hospital, at the age of 95.

Eva is survived by her son Gerry Hegberg (Tina), daughters Brenda Partridge (Gordon), Arvilla Tadei (Ron), Bonnie Pozzobon (Kevin) and Shelly Ducharme (Greg).

Eva was predeceased by her husband John Hegberg, parents Jane and Albert White, sister Peggy, brothers Fred and Gary, daughter Darlene Smashnuk, son Larry Hegberg and grandson Nigel Hegberg.

Eva was born January 5, 1927 in Lacombe, Alberta. She grew up on the family farm just outside of Lacombe where she was the eldest of four siblings. She was married to her husband John from 1946 until his passing in 1985. Together they raised seven children. They moved from Southern Alberta to BC in 1967, settling in Pritchard in 1972. Eva was a devoted mother and homemaker. She enjoyed working as an Avon Representative in Pritchard for many years. As well, she was an avid quilter and enjoyed many hours with her Pritchard quilting group, “The Henrietta’s”.

Eva will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

The family wishes to extend a special thanks to Dr. Malan for the care and kindness he has shown our Mom and family over the years. We are also very grateful for the wonderful nurses and care aids at Chase Home Health, who have given many hours of care and friendship to Mom - she adored each and every care aid and looked forward to their visits.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2022 at 1:30 pm at The West Highland Community Centre, 1885 Links Way, Kamloops, BC, V1S 1S9.

Richard James (Jim) Dickey 1952 - 2022

Jim was born on June 7, 1952 and passed away at home on March 24, 2022.

He is survived by his wife Brenda of 35 years, son Shawn Dickey of Thedford, Ontario (wife Tracy), grandchildren Mckenna, Justine, Brett, sisters Judy Ironside (London ON), Jan Reynolds (London, ON), Deb Hunter (Exeter, ON), brothers Bill Dickey (Creston, BC), Chuck Dickey (London, ON). Predeceased by mom Joyce and dad William and sister Linda.

Jim and Brenda moved from London, Ontario to Kamloops, BC in 1990 and started ICI, an Electrical Engineering firm which had been a longtime dream of Jim’s. He loved BC and the friends he made when he lived here previously in 1980.

They both retired 5 years ago as he battled cancer. Jim was a perfectionist and put his heart and soul into his work. The part he loved the most was meeting with his clients throughout the province, many of whom became his dear friends. He was a real talker and enjoyed the camaraderie with each of them.

Jim fought this aggressive disease with strength and a positive spirit the same way that he approached life. We can’t thank Dr. Miranda du Preez enough for her determination, support and compassion throughout this journey and to Dr. Proctor and his team at the cancer clinic. Special thanks to our dear friend Diane who listened with love and could raise our spirits even at the most trying times.

There will be no service at this time.

Ross Alexander Howden September 18, 1933 - March 10, 2022

Our family sadly announces the passing of Ross on March 10, 2022, at Ridgeview Lodge at the age of 88, with his 3 girls by his side.

Ross was predeceased by his parents, Art and Ila Howden, first wife Marie, brother Roy, second wife Theresa and his eldest grandson Aarion Howden.

Ross will be remembered and greatly missed by his daughters Barbara Forde, Linda (Larry Bissell) and Patricia (James Broad). He will also be missed by his grandchildren Monique Bolen, Tracy Ord, Brent Jewers, Lyrae Broad, Zan Alcock, Jackie Broad, Jake and Tyler Forde. There are seventeen greatgrandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren, along with his younger brother Earl Howden, and numerous nephews and nieces.

Ross was born in St. Lina, Alberta and was raised on the farm. Following the sale of the farm the family moved to Calgary, Alberta where Ross started school. His dad had started a business, Howden’s Drilling and the family moved every 2 months across many provinces in Canada, so school years were hard, making and leaving friends.

Ross dropped out of school half way through grade 9 and started working for his dad’s company. He married Marie Paradis on March 22, 1954 and continued to work for Howden’s Drilling until it was sold. Ross and Marie now had been blessed with two daughters.

Ross found a truck driving job with Cremona Transport and did daily trips to Calgary. They lived on a small farm in Cremona, Alberta and the 3rd gift of a daughter was born. The family up rooted and moved to Kamloops, British Columbia in 1964.

Ross entered into a multi-partnership and purchased Bridge Motors on Tranquille Rd, in Kamloops, British Columbia. Ross employed most of his family there, until the business sold.

A new career path, Ross started employment with the School District #73, custodian, bus garage and then to Stores, where he delivered to the schools with his trusty K-9, Lady.

During his retirement he enjoyed spending time at the family cabin at East Barriere Lake and puttering in his yard. Dad loved to build things and tear things a part. Dad also enjoyed daily trips on his scooter to Bailey’s Pub, for his one glass of beer. Most of all, dad was a dedicated Blazer’s fan and he looked forward to every hockey game. Many friends and memories were made.

Ross and Marie celebrated 43 years of marriage, Marie passed away, June 3, 1997. Ross remarried in October 1998 to Theresa, they were married for 23 years until Theresa passed in February 2021.

Special Thanks to Ridgeview Lodge, Orchard 1 in Kamloops, British Columbia with Ross’s care and support (he was known as their Mickey Rooney).

Cremation service was held on March 21, 2022 with family members, completing his journey together.

A Celebration of Ross Howden’s life will be officiated with Pastor Don Maione and held at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, British Columbia on Saturday, April 9, 2022 at 11:00 am. There will be a reception held after the service. Following will also be a family and friend gathering at the Amenity Building, at 1195 14th Street, Orchard Village Complex. Some visitor parking or parking on 14th Street. Please bring your stories to share as dad loved a good visit.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Alzheimer’s Society or Diabetes of Canada in Ross Howden’s name, would be appreciated.

Elizabeth Anne (Betty) Beamish November 4, 1931-March 24, 2022

Elizabeth Anne Beamish (Betty), 90, passed away on Thursday, March 24, 2022 at Royal Inland Hospital. She leaves behind her loving children, Wayne (Ruth), Wendy (Terry), Cindy (Doug) and Vern (Shona). She was predeceased by her sister Joan (Harold). Her husband Leonard Victor (Len) passed away in 1984, but was fortunate to find her new life partner, Bruce More (d. 2011) and his family Brian (Sonja), Lowell (Sellina), grandchildren Hailee, Keigan, Victoria and Fawna (Scott), Jennifer (Aaron), Stephanie, Sebrina.

Betty was born in East York, Ontario and moved with Len to Kamloops in the early 1960s. She raised her family in her true home of Kamloops and was a devoted employee of Weyerhaeuser for 19 years.

The family wishes to acknowledge her caring friends as well as the staff at The Hamlets at Westsyde and Royal Inland Hospital for their kindness and compassion. Betty was a loving mother, a devoted friend and a poet. Always thoughtful of others, she wrote this poem in advance for her obituary to help bring comfort to those whose lives she touched.

“Remember me”

I like to think That when i’m gone Many happy memories Will linger on.

They brought an abundance Of joy to my life And made me proud To be a mother and wife.

Think of the person I used to be Full of love And humanity.

Remember me by My sense of humor The enjoyment i got From the latest rumors.

Reaching out to others Less fortunate than me By way of my hugs And thru my poetry.

My love for animals And my fellow man Was only part of The master plan.

Think of the good times Together we had Some very happy Others so sad.

Try not to cry Or weep for me My life was complete Now my spirits free.

As a mother I tried to be A friend and companion To my family.

I’ve gone to rest On another plain To be with loved ones Til we meet again.

Betty knew many people whose lives were affected by cancer and so if friends desire, a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation (bccancerfoundation.com/BettyBeamish) would be appreciated. A service will be held at a later date.

Wilbur was a community leader in Kamloops and a true visionary. He was President of the Chamber of Commerce (1965), Past Secretary of the Kamloops Rotary Club, and a Past Master of the St. Paul Masonic Lodge #109. He was also an original shareholder of NL Broadcasting.

Wilbur and Winona were the second generation to own and manage Newell Flower Shop, the family business established by his in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. H.A. Newell, in 1938 in downtown Kamloops. Wilbur garnered many industry awards, including the Northwest Floral Association’s “Florist of the Year”. The business is currently owned

by Brian Field....the third generation.

Wilbur was a longtime member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. He was also one of the original investors in Tod Mountain, now Sun Peaks. His enthusiasm for skiing continued well into his golden years, and he commemorated his 75th birthday by skiing 75 days in the ski season of 1999/2000!

Wilbur and Winona resided in their Douglas Street home for many decades, moving to Kamloops Seniors Village in 2015. The family wishes to thank the staff at KSV for their support. We would also like to acknowledge the caring nurses and doctors of Floor Six North at Royal Inland Hospital, and the tender caregivers at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House who administered to him in his final hours.

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim Bolton announce his passing at R.I.H. on March 25, 2022. Jim was born to Jim Sr. and Grace (Goldie) on March 15,1941 in New Westminster BC. Jim is lovingly remembered by his wife (Beth) of 62 years; sons Jim and Jerry; daughter Linda; granddaughter Jesse (Mike) and great-grandson Wyatt. Jim is also survived by his brother Pat, Mike (Vicki) and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Jim is predeceased by his parents Jim and Grace, sister-in-law (Carol) and son-in-law (Darcy).

Jim followed his family footsteps in the electrical business and became a electrician in 1969. He worked on many big projects like the Mica Dam and the Revelstoke Dam. After he and Beth travelled to Oshawa, Ontario and he worked at the GM Plant. After returning to BC he started his own electrical company for a few years. The last 10 years of his career he worked at the oil sands in Fort McMurray. He always enjoyed his adventures in his working career. In Jim’s earlier years he took interests in fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and home renovations. Jim and Beth also loved to go camping with a pet dog. Closer to his retirement they bought a place in Yuma, Arizona and would travel by motorhome every winter. Other interests Jim enjoyed was his chickens and horse and trailer shopping with his granddaughter Jesse.

A special thanks to the many doctors and 6 South nurses who cared for him for two months. A celebration of life will be held at the family farm in Chase this summer.

Announcements will be made closer to the date.

Obituaries

Each Loss Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

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

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

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

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

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

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

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

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

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

If you so wish, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.

WELCOME HOME, KAMLOOPS

After a pandemic-induced hiatus of three years, the Kamloops Spring Home Show returns KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

This weekend’s Kamloops Spring Home Show will be the first large event in the city to be held without the vaccine passport requirement.

And the two-day show will be among the first large nonsports-related event to be staged in Kamloops under the province’s relaxed pandemic-related restrictions.

Organizer Jim Rice, owner of BC Home Shows, said he is excited about the first home show to be held in the city since the fall of 2019 and the first spring home show since the spring of that year.

“It’s just going to be nice to see clients and it’s going to be nice to see the community,” he said of the Saturday (April 9) and Sunday (April 10) home show at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

The Kamloops event follows the return of the home show to Vernon two weekends ago.

“It was very strong, the turnout, and it was very well received,” Rice said of the event in the North Okanagan city.

“The exhibitor base, we were basically full in the building.

There’s always room for more,

Builtfor life. Yours.

The Kamloops Spring Home Show will take place on McArthur Island on Saturday, April 9 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, April 10 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Admission is free.

but, you know, it’s the sign of the times, the impact of being shut down for basically two-and-a half years.”

The intervening, and unwelcome, time off gave Rice and his team plenty of time to prepare for their eventual return.

“You know, we had a lot of false flags through 2021 where, you know, we were gearing up, particularly for the fall of 2021, and these pandemic restrictions came in about 20 days before

our first show,” he said.

“It threw us for a loop and the cities, both Kamloops and Vernon, could not tell us with any certainty how to proceed with these protocols. Even public health couldn’t tell us and they’re the ones that put the mandates in place. So, we had to cancel our events again.”

The Vernon show last month did included a vaccine passport requirement, which Rice said was easily handled to the point

CASH FOR CLUNKERS We’ll pay you CASH for your old furnace, air conditioner or water heater!

where entry was seamless.

With this Friday (April 8) being the day the vaccine passport is no longer required to attend events — barring any last-minute changes made by the provincial government — Rice said that simply means he no longer needs to have people at the door checking that information.

“So, the whole community can come is really what it’s all about,” he said.

A FUR D E T LIMI E! M I T

Entering this week, there were 92 exhibitors confirmed for this weekend’s home show, which will be held in the two hockey arenas on McArthur Island, with free admission and parking, as always.

Attendees can expect to learn a lot from exhibitors about home renovations, landscaping, recreation, personal health, finances and construction.

In addition, Rice said, there will be plenty of information on sustainability from the City of Kamloops.

For those whose appetites are built up from walking around and visiting the 92 booths, the sport and event centre’s concession will be open. There will also be an outdoor barbecue, featuring hamburgers, hot dogs and various beverages, along with a donut trailer.

Rice suggests people show up between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to secure a parking spot, noting it will be busy on McArthur Island this weekend, with a bike rodeo set for the Norbrock Stadium parking lot on Saturday.

The Kamloops Spring Home Show will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

as the ‘Live Music Lives Here’ banner above The Blue Grotto on Victoria Street caught your attention? Meet Dave ‘Pup’ Johnson, owner/operator of the Blue Grotto night club, and the man in charge of that live music. As a music enthusiast himself, it isn’t a hard task for Pup to keep the music alive. The Blue Grotto is internationally known as a place for live music and Pup feels immense pride when bands reach out and say they’ve heard of The Blue Grotto and want to play there.

The Blue Grotto brings like-minded

music lovers together and gives them a place to celebrate music. Performing not only energizes the musicians, but live music brings the best kind of electrifying energy to the guests. ‘On nights when the music is great, the

crowd is large and you see the dance floor packed full of smiling people; you can just feel the energy.’

Over the last two years, we’ve all learned just how important human connection is. Pup’s favourite thing

about the Blue Grotto is seeing relationships start and flourish. From friendships to marriage, the Blue Grotto is a great place to meet new people and feel the energy of live music.

Semi-sweet surprise gift nets Kamloops man $100K KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Gregory Vaal of Kamloops received a gift from a colleague — a mug full of chocolate.

But the sweetest part was the Set for Life scratch and win lottery ticket tucked inside worth $100,000.

“I was working the night shift when my coworker gave everyone a mug filled with chocolate and a lottery ticket,” Vaal

said.

“I decided to scratch it at 3 a.m. with my colleague and he told me I won, so I scanned it on the Lotto! app.”

Naturally, Vaal shared the exciting news with his co-workers also working the night shift. Needless to say, they were excited for him.

Vaal spends his spare time volunteering and wants to give a portion of his prize to a few chari-

table organizations.

He plans to also put some money away for his children’s post-secondary future.

“I’ve given to various charities and helped out with many crises throughout the world,” he said.

“I feel like this is a gift coming back to us. It’s quite remarkable.”

Vaal’s ticket was purchased at the Real Canadian Superstore in Sahali.

A SKYDIVING PERSPECTIVE TO SIGHT-SEEING ALABAMA CHRIS MCBEATH

SPECIAL TO KTW

“

For the next 10 minutes,” he whispered in my ear, “I am going to be the most important man in your life.”

My body tensed with anticipation as I felt his buckles pressed against my back and the heat of his words lingering at the nape of my neck.

It was the surety of his soft, grey eyes that had got me here and now my imagination swirled into overdrive, my heart pumped with adrenalin and I surrendered to the inevitable.

I was, after all, the only one in the aircraft without a parachute and my tumble to earth, some 10,500 feet below, was only seconds away.

Suddenly, the cabin door opened and a roar of cold wind whooshed me into bone-chilling reality. It slapped my face with such force that my mouth dried instantly and my teeth felt bitten by ice.

Wisps of cumulous clouds wafted around my feet as I placed them gingerly on the aircraft wing, only to realize the strength of the passing wind had other ideas. After a few precious seconds, I won the argument.

“Keep moving,” the voice yelled from behind, somewhat less intimately and with a definite command of urgency — his knees knocked up against my buttocks, pushing me toward the sky.

Just one of the many murals to enjoy throughout the city of Dothan, Ala., featuring the Tuskegee airmen and serving as a tribute to Sherman Rose. Murals among the many historic buildings and, of course, the city’s penchant for peanuts, will offer the curious traveller much to see and experience.

“One,” we swayed forward, “two,” we swayed back, “three” and we were out, me strapped to his belly like some marsupial astronaut and free-falling through nothingness, my mouth dry, my teeth cold and the adrenalin rush so immediate that living in the moment was the only option.

Tandem skydiving is by no means the only activity in Dothan, Ala. Although free-falling at 200 km/h doesn’t give you too much time to sightsee, once the parachute opens, the sudden calm presents you with time to view the world below.

Vistas like Dothan’s beautiful botanical garden, with its 11-themed areas, the refurbished Opera House, Maria’s Vineyard

and the Robert Trent Jones golf course — one of eight championship links that form the Robert Trent Jones Trail around the state of Alabama.

There was a time when Dothan was a drive-through town en route to party places such as Panama City and the Florida Keys. But not so today as visitors who stay for a while won’t be disappointed.

Get into the downtown area and the first things you’ll notice are vast and spectacular murals, a concept Dothan fathers actually stole from Chemainus on Vancouver Island.

Like Chemainus, Dothan’s building art is helping transform the community into a tourist destination.

aviator/instructor Sherman Rose and the Tuskegee airman of the Second World War; another is a tribute to Dothan-born Johnny Mack Brown who, in his heyday, was Hollywood’s best-loved cowboy.

In the heart of wiregrass country, there’s an impressive acknowledgement to the peanut featuring Dr. George Washington Carver, the genius who developed more than 300 uses for this tiny nut, from oil to butter to fuel.

Talking of peanuts, well, they’re everywhere — standing four-feet tall and themed with pride and colour.

other whimsical titles. These southerners have a good sense of humour.

Which brings me back to skydiving.

“You wanna see how to really fly?” the voice from behind inquired, our legs dangling from their mutual harnesses like puppets waiting to dance.

“Jes pull on this,” he instructed, placing my hand into a steering loop, which, with a jerk, swept the horizon 90 degrees to one side, then to the other, with my stomach lurching in the opposite direction.

By now, the landing site was fast approaching.

“Walk,” the voice commanded and, with two steps, I was on terra firma and in disbelief a freefall could end that simply.

The rush was of a different kind now as it flushed my cheeks and coursed through my body.

I looked up at the sky from whence I had just come and caught sight of the high-flying hawk against the sunlight, which only moments before I had spied topside, thinking it was a tiny sparrow.

“What a heckava way to sightsee,” I thought to myself and then, turning to the man who had promised — and actually delivered — an experience to remember.

“Can we go again?” I asked.

Let not your heart be troubled

T

he headline of this column is a statement of Jesus, which in itself is quite significant

(John 14:1).

But there are some things which, when one considers them, make this statement full of meaning.

First, we can consider the timing of what the Lord said.

It was nearly the end of the time in the world that Jesus had to live here. There were only 43 days of his time here left.

Until this time, Jesus had been despised and rejected by men for 33.5 years. A lot of the people who heard him speak and witnessed his miracles only had hatred for him.

In Psalm 109:4, it is written, “For my love they are my adversaries.”

People were the concern of Jesus all through his life, but in spite of his love for all, they responded with hatred toward him. So here is one who loved those who hated him, who still, after all that, could tell his disciples to let not their heart be troubled.

He never grew bitter or lashed out at people. He maintained his care for people no matter what their response to him would be.

Second, when he said this, it was the evening before he was going to be crucified.

Jesus and his disciples were having the Passover meal. The Passover spoke clearly of the

FAITH

sacrifice the Lord was going to accomplish just the next day. In less than 24 hours, he would be crucified and die for our sins outside of Jerusalem.

Jesus had spoken to his disciples many times about what was going to happen to him. He knew these things would happen to him and yet he still could say to his disciples — let not your heart be troubled.

It is amazing to think of who said this simple, yet full of meaning exhortation to his disciples.

Third, we consider these men who were the 12 chosen

by Jesus to be the closest to him. They had been slow to learn what the Lord had tried to teach them.

Though they had promised to be loyal to him, not one of them kept that promise. It is written of the disciples that “they all forsook him and fled” when Jesus was apprehended.

The Lord knew the dis-

ciples would flee when their master would be taken. He knew they would seek to hide and still he told them — let not your heart be troubled.

Jesus tells his own in John 16:32, “Behold the hour comes, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.”

To these disciples, Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled.”

The time was coming when Jesus would go to the cross and he would be alone in his suffering. It is written in Psalm 69:20, “Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness; and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.”

Jesus has a heart like no other on Earth, but still he felt sorrow in his suffering on the

cross as he suffered for our sins.

We can be forgiven because of what he has done for us. Our troubled hearts can be given peace through his suffering if we would only trust him as our saviour and Lord.

May we be reminded at this time of year that “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
