Deep snowpack equals flood threat KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

There is plenty of snow still to melt in the mountains around Kamloops and elsewhere in the province, leading to a heightened flood risk this spring.

Latest data from the River Forecast Centre shows the snowpack in the North Thompson basin at 128 per cent of normal, an increase from the 119 per cent of normal measurement on April 1. That includes a measurement at 215 per cent of normal at Cook Creek, the deepest snowpack measured in the 13 years of data available.

In the South Thompson, the snowpack is at 107 per cent of normal, an increase from the 101 per cent of normal measurement on April 1. But that South Thompson snowpack could be deeper, with the centre noting only four sites reporting across the entire basin that calculate the snow basin index.

Additionally, Shuswap Lake levels were above average earlier this year and were at historic highs over the winter due to the

extreme rainfall from the atmospheric rivers in November 2021.

The large volumes of snow, continued cooler weather, more precipitation and the possibility of a sudden heat wave later in May or in June means an increased concern for flooding in Kamloops, according to the centre. The worst-case scenario would be a heat wave followed by heavy rains.

“Based solely on the contributions to the Fraser River from the Upper Fraser East, Quesnel and North Thompson, this year ranks as the second-highest in the last 45 years,” the centre stated in its May bulletin.

“There is a risk that an extreme heat wave in late May or early June could create peak flows reminiscent of 1948 or 1972 for the lower Fraser River.”

Those years led to catastrophic flooding.

Snowpacks across B.C. are deeper than normal, with only the Okanagan basin (at 83 per cent of normal) below 100 per cent of normal readings.

The average of all snow measurements

across B.C. increased to 113 per cent of normal as of May 1.

The overall average as of April 1 was 99 per cent of normal.

The centre noted snowpack depth is only one factor related to freshet (spring snowmelt) flood risk. Weather conditions from May through June determine the timing, magnitude and rate of snowmelt, when heavy rainfall can exacerbate snowmeltdriven flows.

An extreme heat wave, such as the deadly heat dome of late June 2021, could lead to significant provincial flooding if it occurs between mid-May and mid-June.

Precipitation varied considerably throughout B.C. during April, with wetter than normal conditions on Vancouver Island and in northern parts of the province and drier than normal conditions in Kamloops and the South Interior.

Meanwhile, the high streamflow advisory for the Deadman River and surrounding areas southwest of Kamloops continues.

Kamloops RCMP warns of ‘sextortion’ crimes OFFICERS PROBING REPORTS OF PEOPLE BLACKMAILED FOR CASH OVER INTIMATE IMAGES KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are warning the public about the dangers of sending nudes following a number of recent so-called sextortion reports.

In the past month, officers have investigated at least six reports of people, adults and youths, who shared intimate images online and were then blackmailed for money to prevent the distribution of those images.

Police said there is no evidence to suggest the incidents are related.

“In many of these cases, the fraudster will make contact with

the victim via social media and convince them to send a sexual image or perform a sexual act they may be secretly recording,” said Const. Phil Whiles, a Kamloops RCMP sex crimes investigator.

“The fraudster then threatens to send the content to others unless the victim sends them money or more content.”

Particularly concerning, While said, is that some of the reports involve teenagers.

Police are encouraging adults to talk to their kids about the dangers of sextortion and the potential consequences of their online behaviour.

“We understand it may be

Kamloops Mounties arrested a man in connection with the stabbing of a woman downtown along Battle Street on April 30.

At about 10:35 p.m., police received a request to help para-

uncomfortable for some adults to discuss with their teenagers, but it’s an important discussion to have in order to help prevent the discomfort and fear that can follow after the images have already been sent,” Whiles said.

“If it does happen, they need to know they can go to a safe, trusted adult to report.”

The Kamloops RCMP offers the following tips to help prevent sextortion:

on social media from unknown people; • Do not share or send intimate images of yourself with anyone.

If you aren’t OK with the whole world seeing it, do not send it; • Use privacy settings on social media and keep personal information to a minimum; • Trust your instincts. If anything about an interaction makes you feel uncomfortable, end the conversation immediately.

FOR EVERYONE: • Think before you post.

Information is instant, public and permanent; • Do not accept friend requests

FOR PARENTS: • Be open about online behaviour and place computers in busy family areas; • Make online activity part of

The woman was taken to nearby Royal Inland Hospital, where her wound was determined to be nonlife threatening.

SPCA urges bird feeder removal Avian influenza — or “bird flu” — is a virus that can affect many different species of birds. The public is asked to report sightings of sick or dead wild birds to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative at 1-800-567-2033.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The BC SPCA is asking the public to temporarily remove backyard bird feeders and to empty bird baths due to a highly pathogenic avian influenza spreading across the country.

Avian influenza — or “bird flu” — is a virus that can affect many different species of birds.

This includes farm animals like chickens and turkeys, but can also affect wild and pet birds.

The H5N1 strain is considered highly pathogenic, causing severe illness and death in birds.

Although waterfowl (including ducks, geese and gulls) and raptors (eagles, hawks and owls) are at highest risk, avian influenza viruses can infect all avian species.

The virus is shed by infected birds through feces and respiratory secretions and is very resilient. It can survive in the environment for several months and continue to infect other birds.

“Bird feeders can be sites for disease spread because they encourage unnatural congregations of birds and attract other wildlife,” said Dr. Andrea

Wallace, manager of wild animal welfare for BC SPCA. “Fallen seed is also an especially dangerous source of disease. When birds feed from the ground, they are also exposed to droppings that accumulate below a feeder.”

Wallace said the presence of bird feeders and baths can also increase the risk of transmitting the virus between nearby animals such as backyard chickens or turkeys.

“On rare occasions, this virus can also cause disease in humans who have been in

close contact with infected birds, or heavily contaminated areas. We need to do everything we can to stop H5N1 in its tracks,” Wallace said.

In addition to removing bird feeders and emptying bird baths, the BC SPCA is asking the public to monitor their outdoor surroundings for any signs of sick birds. Birds may appear lethargic, unusually fluffed up, have nasal discharge or have excessively watery eyes or swelling of the head and eyelids.

The public is asked to

report sightings of sick or dead wild birds to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative at 1-800-567-2033. If the report is assessed to require further investigation, a biologist may retrieve the carcass for further testing.

“Please do not bring deceased birds to a wildlife rehabilitation centre or veterinary clinic as they will not be able to test for the disease,” Wallace said.

While hummingbird feeders pose the lowest risk because they are species-specific and have a more limited group of birds visiting them, Wallace said it is important to regularly change the nectar in and clean hummingbird feeders to prevent deadly fungal outbreaks.

If you find sick birds at your feeder, take it down right away.

Considering co-signing on your child's mortgage?

When guaranteeing or co-signing, always consider the implication on your own assets and estate. When we die our executors have a number of obligations in the administration of our estates, including the repayment of any debts we owe, which can include guarantees signed for family members' debt.

Banks will often require that parents who co-sign be added to title as 1% owners, with the children owning 99%. The issue in the estate planning context is that your 1% ownership belongs to your estate when you die. If you have more than one child, and your Will divides your estate equally among all of your children, then your 1% interest in the property might be divided equally among all of your children (i.e. your child that owns 99% does not automatically receive your 1% interest in their property when you die). This issue can be avoided with pre-planning through your Will, or navigated in scenarios where all of your children get along, but otherwise it can create havoc if your other children assert a right in your 1% of your child’s property.

Interior Health needs to answer the call

T

Kamloops Coun. Dale Bass said Royal Inland Hospital is in the midst of a staffing crisis and she is calling on the community to demand Interior Health step up and address the problem.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

his is National Nurses Week, a timely occurrence since Mayor Ken Christian and I met with nurses

last week.

Some were from Royal Inland Hospital and others from longterm care facilities and public health.

After covering health for years for this newspaper and then hearing from nurses after council started speaking out about its concerns last year, it seemed unlikely they could say anything I hadn’t heard before.

The nurses did and I wish I could talk about those examples publicly, but that would identify the nurses, who fear punishment from Interior Health if they complain.

But back to this week, the one that shines a light on our nurses.

The theme is We Answer the Call.

The symbolism is perfect because our nurses — indeed, all of our health-care workers — are still stepping up and caring for the sick, albeit in an environment created by Interior Health that has seen most of them dealing with depression, burnout and a sense of abandonment by the very people who should be answering their calls.

Instead, Interior Health executives blow off the ongoing issues impacting our hospital by emailing vague statements that the health care at Royal Inland Hospital is excellent.

It isn’t.

If anything, it is much better

DALE BASS

View From City Hall than it might be just because the nurses, doctors and all the other people we expect to care for our sick and dying are working harder than ever to live up to their oaths in a failing system.

For nurses, that oath includes a promise to “do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession.”

Here is what can be discussed and what each of us must continue to demand be answered

by Interior Health CEO Susan Brown and others: It is estimated by the Kamloops nurses from their internal discussions that more than 50 per cent are being treated for depression. Many are being treated for suicidal thoughts. Most go home exhausted, many in tears because they know they didn’t give the quality of care they entered the profession to provide.

When the patient-nurse ratio doubles — or even triples — quality of care will decline.

Rural hospitals aren’t getting

the help they need and people are dying because of it.

The much-heralded coronarycare unit opened less than three years ago, but is no longer doing the work it was created to do.

Yes, it’s still monitoring the electrical activity of a patient’s heart and assessing coronary artery disease, but the more specialized work we were told would happen there isn’t happening anymore.

On the last weekend of April, RIH was down 27 per cent of its staff, yet Brown insisted the hospital is not near collapse. Those who were there to pick up the work of that 27 per cent would disagree.

In 2020, 21 per cent of nurses quit the hospital. Last year, 24 per cent resigned. Interior Health executives say this is normal. If

that number of employees were to quit any other business, I suspect someone at the top might ask why.

The nurses have some of the reasons why: • “I have been working under unfathomable conditions I never dreamed would be reality.”

• “I go home feeling defeated.”

• “The amount of deaths we have witnessed is traumatic.”

• “Our well-being and our patients’ well-being are being neglected every day.”

• “The shortage we are working in is horrific.”

• “We are nothing more than shells of the people we used to be.”

Remember, it is National Nurses Week. They are living up

to its theme of always answering the call.

Kamloops council is stepping up to answer their call to us to continue advocating for them. I hope the rest of Kamloops will join us and continue to demand Interior Health step up, too.

We showed our health-care workers how much we appreciated them during the worst of the pandemic. Let’s show them we appreciate them still.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT DECISION

Editor: A couple of things stood out for me in the media this past week.

One was the excellent journalism shown by Jessica Wallace and the Kamloops This Week team in bringing to light the extent of free meals provided to mayor and council on the taxpayers’ dime.

According to an elected official, mayor and council work far more efficiently when free meals are provided for them and none of them should have to work through lunch.

The other thing that stood out was the heart-wrenching account of the plight of nurses

working at Royal Inland Hospital.

Apparently, the hospital is understaffed and nurses are having to make do with practically eating something on the fly and not likely getting the breaks to which they are entitled.

Any food the nurses eat is not paid for by the taxpayer.

Evidently, patients lie in beds that were soiled and wet with urine waiting for an overworked and emotionally overwhelmed nurse to attend.

Enough said.

mate action plan, was mentioned more than once.

Mayor and council studied the online responses and other submissions from individuals and community groups. More than one representative noted their own struggles with supporting significant funding to the plan, a community-based initiative agreed to unanimously last year.

There are many priorities demanding our attention and support in these challenging times.

While the decision was not unanimous, all councilors tested

A PRESCRIPTION FOR IMPROVEMENT

Editor: One change that would make a big difference in the doctor shortage would be to allow physicians to write prescriptions for longer than three months.

It’s ridiculous that John Noakes everyone needs to make Kamloops an appointment with

their doctor every three months, particularly for medications that have been prescribed for years.

What percentage of a doctor’s daily appointment schedule relates to prescription refill requests?

Mayor:Need to target prolific offenders IN 2021, KAMLOOPS HAD 15 PROLIFIC OFFENDERS RESPONSIBLE FOR 471 CRIME FILES MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is confident a calm would come over Kamloops if prolific offenders were taken off the streets.

The provincial government recently announced the hiring of two experts to investigate and report back within 120 days on prolific offenders and random violent attacks in B.C. cities. A written report with recommendations will be prepared as part of the investigation and released publicly in early fall.

Christian said the move comes in response to concerns raised by the Urban Mayors’ Caucus — of which he is a member — which detailed the issue to B.C. Attorney General David Eby last autumn. The investigation will examine the feasibility

of a number of ideas, such as real time electronic monitoring for prolific offenders and mandatory treatment for drug and alcohol addictions, which Christian feels could benefit Kamloops.

“It’s very obvious to me that there are some candidates in Kamloops in that group of 15 that have very complex mentalhealth and addiction issues that are not getting better, so the prolific crime that you’re seeing is to largely to support an addiction,” Christian said. “To suggest these people could drop in for treatment is a bit naive.”

Christian said prolific offenders need an option between jail and treatment, a choice that is not voluntary, as it is with treatment centres like Vision Quest near Logan Lake.

He said he hopes to speak with the consultants doing the report and make suggestions,

in conjunction with Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky.

Eby said the experts will also look at how effective various integrated courts have been and whether expanding them to other communities, such as Kamloops, is viable option in addressing the issue of crime and mental health — an idea Christian described as “excellent.”

“I think it would take some pressure off the backlog in the criminal court system,” Christian said.

In April, the Urban Mayors’ Caucus sent detailed information to the provincial government, indicating that despite overall decreases in provincial and community crime rates, shifting crime patterns during the pandemic were particularly hurting downtown retail areas.

On May 2, the caucus said there is a need to shift policing ser-

NOTICE TO MOTORISTS LORNE STREET IMPROVEMENTS

May 9–September 30, 2022

The City of Kamloops has contracted Extreme Excavating Ltd. to perform upgrades along Lorne Street between Mt Paul Way and 10th Avenue.

Work will begin on May 9, 2022 and is expected to be complete by the end of September. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm.

Some evening or weekend work may be required.

Traffic Impacts Lorne Street between 7th Avenue and 10th Avenue will be closed with the exception of local traffic. Between Mt Paul Way and 7th Avenue, expect intermittent closures and/or single lane traffic.

The intersection of Lorne Street and 10th Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction during resurfacing work.

Access to Pioneer Park, the boat launch and the Tennis Club will be maintained.

Please obey all traffic control personnel and signage when driving in the vicinity of the construction.

vices from the current “policerespond-first approach” for citizens with complex mentalhealth issues to a health-centred approach by improving co-ordination and integration of police, health, mental-health and social services.

Christian said the government report is a response to the data provided by the mayor’s caucus, noting that in 2021, Kamloops had 15 prolific offenders responsible for 471 crime files (more than 30 crimes each), as per data collected from the Kamloops RCMP, which was included in information the mayor’s caucus submitted to Eby. “If we could control these 15 individuals, there would be a noticeable calming on the streets,” Christian said. “They were apprehended by police — they did their job — and then the charges are dropped

and they don’t meet the charge assessment process and they’re set free.”

He said the reasons for the lack of consequences are complicated, involving myriad factors, including the BC Prosecution Service, access to mental-health and addiction services and decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada.

Christian said he hopes the committee will work its way through them.

The two experts hired are Doug LePard, a retired police chief and an independent criminal justice sector consultant, and Amanda Butler, a health researcher and criminologist whose specialties include mental health, substance-use disorders, criminal justice systems and prison health.

A prolific offender is a person who has between 10 and 29 criminal convictions.

Plans begin for new RCMP detachment MICHAEL POTESTIO

SUN, MAY 15

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Plans will soon be ready to give the Kamloops RCMP headquarters downtown a facelift.

On Tuesday, city council voted to approve spending nearly $5 million on detailed design plans for an expansion of the 32-yearold building at Battle Street and Sixth Avenue that will double the existing space at an estimated $80 million in construction costs.

Council unanimously approved spending $4.75 million on the plans, which according to staff will be complete by early 2023, at which point the new city council — to be elected on Oct. 15 of this year — will deal with the details of the construction project.

The building is currently 115 per cent over capacity with its current 190 occupants, having been built in 1990 to accommodate 85 personnel at a time when Kamloops had a population of 67,000 population. Today, about 100,000 people call the city home.

To address current issues with space in the building and its configuration, staff presented a business case to council in 2020 for the renovation and expansion of the detachment, but that was delayed due to the pandemic until late 2021.

The current cost estimate from staff for the project ranges from $50 to $80 million, including both design and construction costs.

Coun. Arjun Singh questioned what the project cost would do to the city’s debt load moving forward, given that the city still has a proposed downtown arts centre “still on the books.”

Planning and procurement manager David Hallinan said the municipality has $40 million in debt in 2022, but by the 2026-2027 fiscal year, that will drop to

about $25 million.

“We’re starting to see a good return coming back into the amount of debt we’re carrying,” Hallinan said, noting the city has the ability to carry up to $500 million in debt.

There are several needed upgrades at the detachment, according to the staff report, including changes to the public entrance, reception area and staff areas, improving the building envelope to increase energy efficiency, installing sprinklers for fire protection and adding emergency backup power to all building systems, according to a council report.

The proposed expansion would add approximately 40,000 square feet to the building and serve the needs of the city and the RCMP for approximately the next 15 years, according to staff.

Capital projects manager Darren Crudwell told council that 15-year estimate was determined via growth in Kamloops, current square footage and number of officers being requested by the Kamloops RCMP. The RCMP detachment on Battle Street was built to about 35,000 square feet 32 years ago to accommodate traffic, rural and investigations departments, as well as general daily duty operations, a staff report stated.

The building was expect-

ed to support policing operations and growth for a decade after it was built.

In 2002, the total occupancy in the detachment was 158 employees. In the fall of 2019, that had increased to 194 employees.

Since 1990, there have been a number of renovations intended to help address the increased occupancy at the detachment, as well as alterations to the building because of the many changes related to the regulatory requirements of the policing service.

These physical changes have impacted the building’s configuration, which has resulted in a number of operational challenges and several safety concerns, according to the council report.

Given the piecemeal nature of past renovations, there is a significant need to improve the current booking entry, main entry and forensic/evidence rooms, the report stated.

There is also a need to expand further and to assess increasing office spaces, locker rooms on the second floor and the gymnasium in the basement.

If these improvements are implemented, it will extend the facility’s life span and allow for future growth, according to the report.

Advantages to Moving to a Retirement Community Q: With all of the services being offered to seniors to keep them in their homes why would I consider a move to a retirement community?

A: There are many benefits when considering a move to a retirement community; nutritious well balanced meals, housekeeping, transportation, emergency response and recreational activities. Most importantly, the opportunity to stay socially connected is a benefit that is often overlooked.

Building new relationships and social connections with likeminded people can help you live a longer, happier and healthier life. Remaining in your home can result in growing isolation and loneliness. Studies show that having low social interaction is as bad for your health as smoking, alcoholism and as harmful as never exercising.

Staying socially active can help you maintain good physical and emotional health and cognitive function as well as help protect against illness by boosting your immune system.

While planning for your post retirement years, why not choose a place where you can create and enjoy new friendships.

Your overall quality of life and health will improve! Guaranteed!

High demand for family doctors was on full display outside the Bee Well Medical Clinic last week as people were lined up down the 1100-block of Battle Street downtown.

They were trying to get their names added to the patient list of the new family physician who is expected to begin working there in September.

The new doctor will be the practice’s third, joining Dr. Cristina Liciu and Dr. Steven Broadbent who, alongside wife and business manager Sarah, bought and renovated the location more than a year ago.

Having rented space on Columbia Street West for years, the Broadbents undertook the move to expand their practice and create a place to attract more family doctors to Kamloops.

They have been open at their new location since April 2021, with Broadbent wanting to establish a place to work collaboratively with doctors who could focus on their patients without having to worry about the myriad challenges of running their own family clinics.

According to a joint Venture KamloopsThompson Region Division of Family Practice committee, an estimated 900,000 British Columbians don’t have a family doctor. There are about 12 vacancies for family doctors in Kamloops, according to Dr. Hancke de Kock, who is closing his downtown practice in June and does recruitment evaluation in Kamloops for UBC’s family practice residency program.

Within two days last week, the new doctor’s patient list had already been exhausted, with hundreds of people lining up to submit application forms in the process. It all happened by word of mouth, with Broadbent noting it was sad to see, given the need.

“It’s embarrassing. I feel shame,” Broadbent said, adding he was shocked when he drove in to work and saw the lineup of people seeking a family doctor.

SEARCHING FOR MORE PHYSICIANS The Bee Well clinic is trying to fill the

void of family doctors, but to date has added just the one coming this fall.

The clinic found recruitment difficult this past year, having had three potential doctors fall through due to complications in the recruitment process. Broadbent noted one example in which a doctor from England with 17 years of experience hit a snag with the BC College of Physicians because she hadn’t completed a required exam not required under the college in that country, where she is qualified to work.

“The colleges block you or they put stipulations in that don’t make sense to me,” Broadbent said of the regulatory body.

“Basically, when we’ve tried to recruit, it’s been very difficult or it’s been made more difficult or impossible.”

When it comes to the doctor shortage, footing the bills of a practice is also a problem, Broadbent said, which is part of what inspired him to open Bee Well.

“I’ve double mortgaged myself to put my

money where my mouth is to try and develop stuff for doctors because there’s no investment [in the field]. It’s a self-run business,” Broadbent said, noting he doesn’t think doctors want to operate their own practices.

“When you’re a qualified new doctor, are you going to want to do that? You’ve got to be working to earn some money, so how are you going to develop a business or get a new place?” Broadbent said. “These are all business problems, which is why you’re finding it difficult to recruit and retain doctors, I think.”

The Bee Well project involved a massive gut job of the building and cost about $800,000, an investment the Broadbents are shouldering on their own, less a $30,000 grant from the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice.

“It was a total shell,” Broadbent said of building’s original state, noting there is also a shortage of spaces for clinics in town.

Diagnosis: ‘Family physicians are in crisis’ From A12

Bee Well already has a physiotherapist renting space and time at the facility, as well as a doctor with training in botox work, and would like to add another four family doctors, be it part-time or full-time, working whatever hours and days that suit their lives.

“If we’ve got family doctors who’ve got kids or spilt families, maybe they want to do two days a week or in the evenings, but you cannot afford that as a [family] doctor because you’ve got your overhead, you’ve got to pay it 24/7, you’ve got your staff 24/7, so it doesn’t make sense,” Broadbent explained of the difficulties of family practices.

“You’ve got to work a set number of hours to break even.”

If they can recruit enough doctors, the Broadbents expect Bee Well to meet its overhead, breaking even on operating expenses of running the practice.

“If we don’t get anybody [doctors] to come, it doesn’t work as a business,” Broadbent said.

Generally speaking, family physicians split about 30 per cent of their clinic’s earnings with a facility like Bee Well to help cover expenses.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE BEING A FAMILY DOCTOR It’s the challenges of running a business and other pitfalls of a demanding job that Broadbent suspects are keeping medical school graduates from pursuing family practices.

“Essentially, it is very tough in general practice at the moment, I feel, because if it wasn’t, we’d be getting more family doctors and there wouldn’t be 900,000 patients without a family doc,” Broadbent said.

He explained it’s hard for new graduates coming out of medical school to try to learn the ins and outs of starting up a business, noting many probably can’t

afford to given their student debt and they may be more inclined to seek less strenuous options.

Those include shifts in walkin clinics or urgent primary care centres, where there are more defined hours and fewer tasks bogging them down. However, Broadbent added, work in urgent care doesn’t come with the same density of follow-up care as found in a family practice.

There is much involved with being a family doctor that the public may not realize, he told KTW. Over the course of a day, Broadbent sees many patients, but various paperwork — such as checking and renewing medications, setting up tests and making referrals, known as “tasks” — are generated alongside those visits, which must get done, but often can’t within the work day and aren’t billable.

Broadbent accumulates hundreds of tasks each day, some taking more time to

complete than others.

It’s work that Broadbent said has him at the office for hours on end, arriving home for just a few hours at the end of the work day to have dinner with his kids before returning to the office to complete tasks until nearly midnight.

“If you’re a new doctor coming through, screw it, why would you do that? If you go to [work at] an urgent care centre, you can clock in at nine, clock out at one or four and you have just a few tasks,” he said.

Dr. Cristina Liciu, the other family physician working out of Bee Well, told KTW she easily works 12 hours a day and is on call 24/7 for her clients in nursing homes.

Doctors can have as many patients as they want, but the current system doesn’t reward thoroughness, Broadbent said.

“You get penalized for doing good work,” he said, noting billing is the same for a visit that

takes 10 minutes as it is for visits that are more complex and require more time for tasks.

“Essentially, if you do a good job, you lose money,” he said. “[But] I’m not going to change my standards. You want to treat people how you want to be treated yourself, what you’d expect for your family, and I want the best for my patients.”

Broadbent feels billing is a big issue, especially for new doctors just starting out of school, noting running your own practice means no indemnity or extended health benefits or holiday pay, not to mention the third of earnings that goes to overhead and is taxed.

Broadbent said there is little an organization like Interior Health can do to help the situation, as changes to alleviate issues would have to come from provincial legislation.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” Broadbent said. “Family physicians are in crisis.”

The time has come ...the end of something great and the start of a great new chapter. It is hard to believe that June of 1973 has fast forwarded to May of 2022.

FireSmart conference in city this week KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

An inaugural conference focused on wildfire prevention is underway in Kamloops, with wildfire practitioners and experts sharing their knowledge on how to manage and prevent wildfires.

The first annual FireSmart BC Conference is being held on Wednesday and Thursday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen.

While the sold-out conference is open to all participants, organizers say it is of special interest to firefighters, First Nations and local government staff who are implementing FireSmart initiatives in their communities.

Those in attendance can hear about how to create homes and communities that are resilient to wildfire by listening to speakers, attending one of 14 workshops and hearing from expert panels.

Panelists come from a number of groups, including the BC FireSmart committee, First Nations, government, researchers, educators and interface fire specialists.

Guests include Kelsey Winter (committee chair with the BC Wildfire Service), Chris Hodder (direct of prevention with the BC Wildfire Service), Phil Lemire (executive officer with the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C.), Good

Non-confidence motion issued against TRU SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) has echoed a non-confidence motion adopted by the TRU Faculty Association in February.

In an emailed letter sent to TRU president Brett Fairbairn and board chair Marilyn McLean, CAUT executive director David Robinson said the organization’s council vowed no confidence in Fairbairn and McLean.

CAUT represents academic and professional staff at more than 120 universities and colleges across Canada.

“It is unfortunate that the administration has failed to address the concerns of the faculty association and the broader academic community,” Robinson wrote.

“I urge you to resolve this matter immediately so that con-

fidence in the administration may be restored.”

In February, TRUFA president Tara Lyster said 81 per cent of faculty who took part in a vote vowed no confidence in Fairbairn and 83 per cent vowed none in McLean. Among 689 TRUFA members, 56 per cent took part in the vote.

At issue is the alleged conduct of two senior university officials: Matt Milovick, the university’s

vice-president of administration and finance, and Larry Phillips, the former head of human resources who no longer works for the university as of December 2021.

An anonymous complaint was sent to the board in February of 2021, alleging discriminatory conduct, discriminatory statements and/or harassment.

The complaint, which

involves up to 13 current and former university employees, alleges incidents of sexual harassment of female servers, misogynistic references to women and disparagement of Indigenous people at TRU and in the community, among other purported incidents.

KTW interviewed many of the complainant over several months last year.

None of the allegations in the complaint have been proven as the university’s investigation into the matter continues.

An investigation was set to be completed by March 31 of this year, but was extended shortly before its scheduled completion, with the university stating more time was needed to interview witnesses.

Lyster said TRUFA’s non-confidence vote was never acknowledge by the university, nor by Fairbairn or McLean.

She said CAUT’s recognition of what TRU is

facing is important.

“For TRUFA, it’s significant because it’s saying that our colleagues across the country are seeing what’s happening here at TRU, and they support the nonconfidence vote that happened,” Lyster said.

Some faculty have also expressed concerns that there will be no transparency following the completion of the report.

Lyster said she would like to see the report go to every member of the board, rather than just the chair.

“That affords a little bit more transparency. I don’t think releasing it publicly or to a wide range of people is the best way because there are people and lives and trauma at stake in this,” she said.

A spokesperson for TRU said the additional interviews announced in March are still underway and the report is expected to be received “within two or three months.”

police force, Milobar said that recommendation requires more detail and examination of how such a service would operate and cost, noting Kamloops has always been well served by the RCMP. “Chances are it would be very expensive,” Milobar said of a provincial police force.

“There’s a lot of intangibles that need to be discussed. How would it function? How would it be costed out, who would be paying what portion of what? What would the interconnectivity be for those smaller communities that don’t have the ability to have a municipal force and those type of things?”

Stone noted the BC Liberals are reviewing the contents of the report, but the Official Opposition does not have a formal position on the recommendations, including the creation of a new provincial police service.

City of Kamloops

Have Your Say Email legislate@kamloops.ca

Kamloops’ Opposition BC Liberal MLAs want to see the government consider the mental-health supports recommended in the recently released provincial all-party Special Committee on Reforming the Police Act. The report’s 11 recommendations call for myriad changes to policing in B.C., including creation of a provincial police force, ensuring Indigenous communities have direct input into their police service structure and requiring police services to collect and publicly report racebased and other demographic data.

The committee also calls for a continuum of response to mental-health, addictions and other social issues with a focus on prevention, community-led responses and ensuring appropriate first response.

“Government should focus on immediately adopting the recommendation to appropriately fund continuum of response to mental-health, addictions and other complex social issues with a focus on prevention,” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone told KTW. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar said he hopes the mental-health recommendations “will be taken to heart by government.”

He said the recommendation around cultural awareness and racism is also “important work that needs to be looked at.”

Stone said that while fragmentation and consistent standards of police services should be addressed, the recommendation of a provincial police force would have serious financial and other implications and warrants further examination.

Fatality in crash at Walmart shopping centre A VEHICLE LEFT THE ROAD AND WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO THE PARKING LOT ON MAY 5 MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

No criminality is suspected after a car left the road at Notre Dame Drive and Hillside Drive on May 5, going down an embankment and crashing into the parking lot of the Walmart shopping centre, killing the lone occupant, a female driver.

The badly crumpled car came to a rest on the sidewalk between the Reitmans store and a brick garbage bin enclosure.

The airbags in the vehicle were deployed and the front windshield was blown out.

Kamloops RCMP Const.

Crystal Evelyn said police were called to the crash at about 8:30 a.m., noting the female driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The cause of the crash is suspected to have been medical in nature, Evelyn told KTW, and did not involve criminality based on the preliminary evidence collected by police.

“They can’t pinpoint that exactly at this time, but on the surface, based on the investigation so far, that’s what the investigation would suggest,” Evelyn said, adding police are still waiting for more information from the coroner to confirm the cause of the crash was due to a medical

episode.

A witness to the crash, who gave a statement to police, told KTW the driver of the car was travelling west on Notre Dame Drive, heading toward

Hillside Drive.

The witness said the car crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic, elevated its speed and was driven onto sidewalk on the wrong side

of the street, near Kal Tire, just east of the Notre Dame/ Dalhousie Drive intersection.

The witness said the car then returned to the road, went through the Notre Dame/ Dalhousie intersection, then accelerated as it continued west on Notre Dame before crashing into the parking lot below.

The driver appeared to be about 40 years of age, according to the witness, who was on scene just before emergency personnel arrived.

Anyone else who witnessed the crash is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-8283000 and reference file 202214742.

Man in custody after erratic driver call MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man was arrested in Westsyde on Monday following reports of an erratic driver.

At about 12:30 p.m., Kamloops RCMP received a report of an erratic driver in a grey BMW with no licence plates.

Const. Crystal Evelyn said that when police

initiated a traffic stop, the driver sped away.

A spike belt was deployed near the Halston Connector, just off of Highway 5. Although the move did result in deflating two tires on the car, the driver continued on in an aggressive manner and the police pursuit was ended due to public safety concerns, Evelyn said.

Covert units continued to monitor the vehicle as it

drove throughout the city.

When officers in a marked cruiser tried once more to stop the car, the driver again sped away, colliding with a police vehicle as he did, and made his way into the Oak Hills community of Westsyde.

Again police followed covertly and waited until the driver stopped and got out of the car “As soon as the suspect

got out, officers and the police dog services unit moved in and took the man into custody, preventing his drive from resuming,” Evelyn said.

The nearby École Collines-D’Or francophone school on Partridge Drive was placed in a hold and secure mode, although no students were present due to it being a professional development day at the school.

Evelyn said Kamloops RCMP worked with School District 73 to develop a temporary plan for public school students who were due to return to the Oak Hills community after school.

“In this case, all units worked together to ensure the safety of the public in a very visible police incident, including our frontline officers, traffic service unit, police dog service,

“No one was injured, including the officer whose vehicle was struck.”

The driver remains in custody, with numerous charges pending.

Quinn Schmiemann prepares to block a shot while defence partner Ethan Brandwood smothers his man last weekend at Sandman Centre.

Blazers angling for Giant catch MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ethan Brandwood, a summertime ocean angler, and his defence partner Quinn Schmiemann are tasked with reeling in three big fish this spring, a Vancouver Giants’ trio that fights like hell.

These lunkers — first-round Boston Bruins’ draft pick Fabian Lysell, Ottawa Senators’ prospect Zack Ostapchuk and triggerman Adam Hall — sunk the

Everett Silvertips in Round 1 of the WHL post-season, combining for 41 points in six games in an astounding upset of the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

The Blazers’ top pairing, which cast an unyielding net when the No. 8 seed Giants were in the River City on the weekend for the first two games of their Western Conference semifinal derby, was pivotal in limiting the Vancouver trio to two points in a pair of victories at Sandman Centre — 3-1 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday.

“I’ve got his back and I know that he has mine,” said 20-year-old Schmiemann, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound left shot from Wilcox, Sask. “He’s a good buddy of mine and we have a good deal of confidence in each other. I love playing with him.”

The pairing was formed at the start of the 2021-2022 season, but the relationship hatched three years ago, while Brandwood was paying his dues as a seventh defenceman on a deep blue line, occasionally slotting in at forward.

“Even looking back to my 17-year-old year, being in and out of the lineup, he was a guy that would always come and pick me up,” said Brandwood, a 6-foot-1, 184-pound right shot from Victoria who turned 20 on May 9.

“I just had to focus on what I could control. We had a great D-corps. Not much I could do about it. I just tried to learn from those guys, pick a bit from each of their games and add it to mine.”

Blazers’ penalty kill suffocating Giants From A20

Vancouver, which separated Lysell from Ostapchuk and Hall in Game 2, will have last change this week at Langley Events Centre.

Game 3 was played on Tuesday after KTW’s press deadline.

Game 4 is slated for Thursday at the LEC. KTW will be at both contests. Follow along on twitter — @KTWonBlazers — and find game stories online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The Blazers will change on the fly to land favourable matchups, said associate coach Mark Holick.

“Do I like to fish? Yeah, I love to fish,” Holick said. “I share some pics with Brando. We share fishing stories and pictures lots.”

The Spokane Chiefs are stuffed and on the wall.

“They get a tough assignment every single night and they’ve accepted the challenge and done quite well,” said Holick, whose No. 2 seed Blazers swept the No. 7 Chiefs in four games in Round 1.

“You look at the Spokane series, too, with McCarry, Hughes and Bertholet. Geez, they only got three goals the entire series, Spokane. It was a tough go for those guys, as well.”

The Blazers have the No. 1 penalty kill in the playoffs, its top unit of Schmiemann, Brandwood, Fraser Minten and Daylan Kuefler helping the club click at 96.8 per cent (30-of-31) heading into the Tuesday tilt.

Vancouver was 0-for-8 on the power play through two games this series after connecting at 37.5 per cent (12-of-32) against Everett.

Schmiemann and Brandwood are only part of the stingy story, with team defence and great goaltending from New York Rangers’ prospect Dylan Garand also to be credited for the Blazers allowing seven goals in six postseason games, while scoring 30.

But they are anchoring the boat — and pro scouts are charting progress.

Schmiemann, a Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick in 2019, was discouraged when the NHL club did not offer him a contract.

“But at the same time, I think it was a blessing in disguise,” said Schmiemann, who fared well for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in American Hockey League exhibition action last October. “You’ve got all 32 teams looking at you again. The pro game is a thinking game. I just tried to be a sponge when I was there and soak up all the information and bring it back to Kamloops with me.”

Schmiemann had 54 points, including 14 goals, in 58 regular season games, along with a plus24 rating, and has more offensive upside than Brandwood, a stayat-home stalwart who recorded six goals and 26 points in 68 games, along with a plus-46 rating.

Ethan Brandwood sent Zack Ostapchuk flying last Friday at Sandman Centre.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

“We’re both really strong in the D-zone,” said Brandwood, who set the tone in Game 1, luring in Ostapchuk and flattening him with a thundering bodycheck. “Schmee can kind of play a bit more offensive. We complement each other really well. Our chemistry is really clicking right now.”

They are stoic and composed on the ice, rarely to blame for careless expeditions and indiscretion with the puck.

Said Holick: “They’re intelligent. They’re physical. They move well. They defend hard. It just seemed to kind of morph into that, really. They’re leaders. They’re not real vocal, but certainly, when they talk, there is a meaning to their message, for sure.”

Time for fun away from ice From A21

They’re far more carefree away from the rink, like fishing buddies.

“He’s got a good sense of humour,” Schmiemann said. “He’s always cracking up guys in the locker room. He loves to fish. I think I asked him what his dream job was if hockey doesn’t work out and I think he wants to run a fishing charter back in Victoria. I haven’t been a whole bunch, but I like fishin’, too.”

Perhaps they could

run it together, but what would they call it?

“I don’t even know.

Maybe Two Bros Fishing Lodge or something like that?” Brandwood said. “I don’t know. That would be something.”

The Giants, who were banged up when they scuttled the injuryplagued Silvertips, added two more to the infirmary on Saturday and were missing nearly half of their first-choice forwards on Tuesday.

Lysell, Ostapchuk and

Hall are thrashing for their playoff lives, with the Giants’ hopes tied intricately to their three offensive leaders.

“Trying to hit and pin and eliminate their time and space is one of the biggest things we are trying to focus on,” Schmiemann said.

Added Brandwood: “Just playing them hard each night is what we’ve done the first two games and we’ll have to continue to do that if we want to shut them down.”

Towering hammer thrower Ethan Katzberg took advice from coach Dylan Armstrong on Thursday in the throws area across from Hillside Stadium, absorbing tidbits before engaging tilt-a-whirl routine.

From the twister vortex, perhaps propelled by viking-hair static, emerged the implement, soaring before boring into exploding turf.

“It’s incredible, the distance he’s throwing,” said Armstrong, head coach of the Kamloops Track and Field Club.

“Paris is in 2024. It comes fast.”

Katzberg, who turned 20 in April, moved to Kamloops from Nanaimo two years ago to train with Armstrong, who identified the upand-coming talent at high school and club meets across the province.

“It’s paid off,” Katzberg said. “It’s been

a great decision. I’ve got some of the best coaching in Canada.”

The 6-foot-6, 235pound throws machine was heaving the senior men’s implement about 55 metres upon arrival in the Tournament Capital.

Katzberg won gold and set a meet record last month at the Oregon Relays in Eugene, Oregon, his personal-best throw of 74.16 metres dismantling the competition.

Second-place finisher Mason Strunk of Oregon posted a mark of 63.14m.

“It is a big, big throw,” said Armstrong, the two-time Olympian who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Games in Beijing. “I believe it’s the best throw in North American history for a kid 20 years old. It’s very far. In this sport, you get better as you age, at least up until 30 or 31.”

Katzberg, who said his ultimate goal is to reach the podium at the Olympics, is eating,

sleeping and training his sport these days, unemployed and taking a break from studies.

“Ethan’s got the work ethic and the potential behind him and we have tremendous support here with the city, lots of services we can use and everything we need to be successful,” Armstrong said.

“His great combo is he’s tall and he’s fast. You don’t see a lot of that.”

Katzberg and Armstrong trained in Portugal for more than two months this past winter, taking advantage of warm weather to put in crucial work ahead of the season.

“I spend a lot of time with him, so you’ve got to enjoy each other’s company,” Katzberg said.

The Vancouver Island transplant is approaching standards that would make him eligible to compete in the Commonwealth Games (75.10m), world championships (77.50m) and Olympic

Games (77.50m).

“Our focus this year was to throw as far as possible and try to get nationally carded, so he’s set up for next year,” Armstrong said. “Ethan has gone far and beyond my expectations. We’re just out here having fun now.”

Competitions in June, including the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic in Burnaby, Victoria Track Classic and Kamloops Throws Festival, give Katzberg opportunity to improve on his PB and chase international meet standards.

For those interested in catching a glimpse of Katzberg in Kamloops, the event is slated for June 5.

He has no plans to trim the long locks, so just look for the hairfilled hurricane in the throws pit.

“I mean, I’ve got to represent the Island somehow, right,” Katzberg said with a laugh.

Dig It: A river of ash nets historic catch ALYSHA EDWARDS AND MATT BERG SPECIAL TO KTW

A

pproximately 2,400 years ago, Mount Meager, in the Southern Interior of British Columbia,

erupted.

The eruption launched a plume of ash that was deposited on lands up to 530 kilometres to the east, in southern Alberta.

Directly downwind of the eruption is the Bridge River, from which the massive deposits of ash get its name — Bridge River ash.

More recently, the landscape of the upper Bridge River is one that has been modified by modern dams, impounding the Bridge River in two reservoirs.

During the last five years, St’át’imc Government Services has conducted archaeological survey work in the upper Bridge River, looking for archaeological sites both above and below the deep layer of ash deposited by this eruption.

The landscape we’ve encountered is both breathtakingly beautiful and a reminder of the destruction that occurs with a massive volcanic eruption.

When Mount Meager erupted, it left a thick layer of ash in the Bridge River valley, likely killing much of the forests and animals in its path.

The river is full of volcanic tephra, both in a talcum-like powder form and popcorn- to fist-sized chunks of pumice.

Eroded hillsides show rivers of ash.

Reservoir archaeology can be

fascinating. When you remove all the normal impediments to finding archaeological sites, like forest littermats, soils and surface sediments, artifacts can be found on the surface.

Due to the land exposure in reservoirs, we don’t necessarily need to dig to find buried artifacts, which can be timeconsuming and provide only a narrow glimpse into what is present beneath the surface.

The sites are out of context

and disturbed, but we tend to find more than we would if we depended on the usual subsurface testing.

However, when the landscape is covered in volcanic ash and silts are drained from a massive glacier, things get a bit trickier.

Subsurface testing adjacent to the Bridge River in forested settings has shown that up to a metre of ash is present beneath the forest floor.

When we’ve excavated

“Proud to be voted #1.

Thank you to our clients and readers!”

shovel tests in these contexts, we’re digging to the depth of our shovels and scooping out bucket-fulls of ash.

Again, you have to picture what it would have been like to be in this river valley when the eruption occurred — scary and, most likely, deadly. Despite the thick deposits of ash, we are finding abundant archaeology.

Due to the modified landscape and the thick blankets of ash, we aren’t certain if any of

the archaeological sites we have identified pre-date the Mount Meager eruption, but it is clear the upper Bridge River was (and still is) well used by St’át’imc peoples.

Archaeological sites composed of stone artifacts and tools are present on alluvial fans and slopes bounding the Bridge River and we can assume this has always been true.

We’re hopeful to find dateable artifacts and to develop the means to test below the thick layer of ash more effectively, but it seems certain that St’át’imc peoples utilized the resources in this river valley.

Since the volcanic eruption, the Bridge River valley has rebounded with lush, high elevation forests and abundant wildlife.

Footprints in the ash show a thriving grizzly and black bear populations, as well as wolves, deer and moose. Fish are present in the river and eagles are perched above the river looking for these fish.

While this river valley faced a natural disaster and modern impacts from dam construction, it’s clear from the archaeology in the upper Bridge River valley that St’át’imc peoples were adaptable to changing environmental conditions and have much to teach during our continuing climate changes.

Alysha Edwards is a St’át’imc archaeologist and graduate student at the University of Montana. Matt Begg is an archaeologist based in Kamloops. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

It’s been 5 years since you’ve been gone and we still miss your smiling face.

Trisha Marie Moffatt March 10, 1976 - May 13, 2012

Missing you 10 Long Years You never expected it -the loss of your child so dear oh, what you wouldn’t give to have one hour with them near.

Life did not prepare you to ever say “good-bye” to your own flesh and blood and you keep asking, “Why?” But there are no answers so you grieve with silent tears looking back on the moments of the past days, months, and years.

Those times are your treasures that you keep inside your heart and you send your love up to heaven wishing that you never had to part.

“Please keep them safe, Lord” that is your fervent plea “Hold them in your arms” until they are reunited with me.

Hugh Gordon Latrace

It is with heartfelt sadness that the family of Allan Wilson Burnett announce his peaceful passing on April 24th, 2022 at 87 years.

His wife Drina and family are saddened to announce the passing of Hugh Latrace on April 10th, 2022 at the age of 79 years. But we’re calling it 80.

He leaves behind his loving and dedicated wife Eleanor of 63 years. Left behind to Cherish his memory are daughters Carol Kennell (Cliff), Pauline Piller (Murray), five grandchildren, Tyler Piller (Amy), Kayla MacMaster (Nathan), Jessica McMillan (Bryce), Keenan Piller, Cory Kennell and two great grandbabies Matthew McMillan and Wyatt Piller.

Hugh was born in Penticton, BC on April 19th, 1942 and spent his childhood years in the Okanagan before moving around the country following his father’s military postings. After high school he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy where he spent time as a radioman, and once discharged received technical training as an electrician and electrical estimator at Vancouver Vocational Institute. He married Drina in 1966 and they raised their family in Burnaby, BC (with a stop in Kamloops) where he was active in the community, volunteering as a youth baseball umpire and serving on the executive of the South Burnaby Metro Club. His expertise in youth sports organizations led him to a volunteer post with the BC Summer Games committee in 1997.

Al was predeceased by his parents Bill, Nora and younger brother Bryan.

Al was born in Flin Flon, Manitoba on November 16,1934. His family moved to Burnaby where he grew up. Al always loved the outdoors and left school at the age of 15 for a job in the Chilcotin at The Gang Ranch doing what he loved, being a cowboy. After a few years he returned to the lower mainland and had jobs with the Municipality of Burnaby, BC Packers as an engineer, and CN Railway.

Al married Eleanor on September, 5, 1959. They lived in Burnaby and soon built a kit house in Surrey, where both daughters were born. The family moved to Kamloops in 1967, bought their home in 1968, their forever home of 49 years. He worked several jobs before deciding to be his own boss and in 1972 purchased his first B61 Mack. First of three. He ran a very successful business for the next 25 years. In semi-retirement, he drove and operated machinery for others.

In retirement, Al and Eleanor spent much time traveling the countryside in their motor home, fishing, sightseeing and taking family and friends on vacations. When not travelling, you would often see Al and friends, in the AM, at a local coffee shop.

He was always happiest when together with his family, especially in his later years.

He liked nothing more, than to listen and watch them chatting about their lives and always with a camera in his hand making sure lots of photos were taken. It was truly a blessing to see the love in his eyes and his smile when presented with his two great-grandsons in the spring of 2021.

Al will be forever in our hearts and memories as a wonderful husband, loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, cousin and faithful friend.

We would like to invite family and friends to his celebration of life, at the Kamloops Curling Club, on May 14, 2022 at 11:00 am.

Any donations can be sent to the BC Children’s Hospital, for our future generation's health.

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

Hugh finished his working career as an (imposing) armed guard with Loomis Armoured Car/Securicor before retiring to Scotch Creek, BC in 2004. He was a quiet man with a small circle of friends who knew him best and grieve his passing, most especially Lorne Fairgrieve and his wife, Lisa. He enjoyed his grandchildren, loved to watch any and all sports (especially if grandkids were playing), but also worked on his golf game and volunteered with the BC Amputee Golf Association.

Hugh is pre-deceased by his mother and father, his brother Robert (Bev), sister Judy (Rick), brother-in-law Jim (Liane) and sister-in-law Marie. He will be missed by his incredibly devoted wife of 56 years Drina, daughter Kim (Brett) and son Chris (Julie). He will be remembered as a gentle giant by grandkids Logan, Teagan, Eden, Cole, Cruz and Solenne.

“The Bus… is Leaving!”

No memorial service at Hugh’s request, but a celebration will be planned for the warmer months. In lieu of flowers the family asks if you would consider donating blood to Canadian Blood Services.

In Loving Memory of Shane Kelly Pinske It is with deepest sorrow that we announce that Shane Kelly Pinske, age 51, passed away peacefully on April 19t, 2022 in the loving presence of his wife and daughter.

Shane was born on May 30, 1970 in Quesnel, BC to Kelly and Roberta Pinske: he was their second son and younger brother to Todd Pinske. In 1993, Shane graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and then continued his education at BCIT where he completed his Diploma of Technology in Architectural Building in 1996. Shortly after, he settled in Kamloops, BC, working for several developers and contractors before beginning his own business, Pinske Design, in 2005. Shane’s home and business designs can be admired in architecture across Kamloops and surrounding areas including Sun Peaks.

On September 11, 2004, Shane married the love of his life, Andrea Brown. On February 19, 2006, they welcomed their only child, daughter Teagan Pinske. Shane was a devoted father and husband. Both of his girls were the most important part of his life. Shane also loved his sports! He enjoyed golfing, playing tennis and most of all hockey. The Vancouver Canucks was his favourite team since childhood, and he stayed loyal to them until the end. After his daughter was born, Shane re-joined a hockey team and played right wing in many tournaments with his long-time friends.

He took a lot of pride in organizing trips and tournaments with his buddies. He was so grateful to have played - and won - one last tournament in Whistler. His joy was shared by everyone there!

Shane was diagnosed with bowel cancer in the summer of 2020. Although his life ended way too soon, he left a memorable impression in all our hearts. The time he spent with us will always be treasured. Shane will be remembered for being the person who pushed you to become the best version of yourself. He was the one that you went to every time you needed advice. He was such a kind soul and everyone who knew him loved him. He was our safe haven.

Shane is survived by his wife Andrea Pinske; his daughter Teagan Pinske; his mother Roberta Pinske; his brother Todd Pinske (Claudette, Jordan, Alex); motherin-law Pauline Brown; sister-in-law Michelle Brown (Don, Christopher, Dawson); sister-in-law Denise Brown (Jennifer); sister-in-law Cindy Brown (Brandon, Joshua); brother-in-law Grant Robertson; and many more family members and friends. He is predeceased by his father Kelly Pinske; and brother-in-law Bill Brown.

We would like to thank all of the nurses and doctors at Royal Inland Hospital and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home for taking such wonderful care of Shane. We couldn't have asked for more compassion and empathy during Shane's last weeks. We would also like to thank all of our family and friends during this difficult time. The outpouring of love has brought us so much comfort. He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends and all who knew him.

At Shane's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home – a place that gave Shane, and so many people before him, comfort and peace.

Kelly Scott Parlby

February 7, 1983 - April 12, 2022 It is with deepest sorrow and broken hearts that we say good bye to our beloved son. Kelly had won the battle of his addiction and was at the top of his game when he was suddenly taken from us too soon on Tuesday April 12 2022 in Beaverlodge, Alberta at his job he was most passionate about.

He was in the beginnings of having his own company, K.P. Oilfield Services Inc with his son Reid by his side.

Kelly is survived by his parents and was a loving son and best friend to his mom, Gail Parlby and loved by his step-father John Sutherland both of Salmon Arm and will be missed every day! Kelly is also survived by his loving sister Kerri Batalha (Tony) of Grande Prairie, Alberta. Kelly adored his sister Kerri and they were each others confidants. Kerri always made sure that Kelly knew how much he was loved and how worthy he was to be loved and Kelly always made sure she knew how proud he was of her. Kelly is survived by his foster brother Christopher Fiedler (Heidi) of Lloydminster, Alberta. Kelly is also survived by his half siblings, brother Jay Wyant (Juhli) of Kamloops whom Kelly always went to for his mechanical and big brother advice and Jay always extended a nonjudgmental helping hand when needed, half sister Barb Buchan (Calum) of Abbotsford, B.C. whom Kelly knew he could count on for any financial and business advice whenever he asked she was always there to assist him, and eldest half brother Wayne Wyant of Courtenay, B.C. Kelly leaves behind his girlfriend Samantha Lewis of Kamloops, and he also leaves behind his most cherished loves, his children Reid Tarrant Parlby of Salmon Arm, Jacob Bernauer of Kamloops, Alexus Marcel and Mackenzie Marcel both of Kamloops and Hayden and Deklyn Chetman of Kamloops. Kelly cherished the time he was able to spend with his children. Kelly was very fond of all his nieces and nephews. Kelly had a special bond with his nephew Lucas Batalha. Lucas was Uncle Kelly’s prodigy in skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey. Everything he tries he excels at like his Uncle Kelly.

Kelly had a deep love for his family and loved having family dinners together. He will be sadly deeply missed by All. Kelly was predeceased by his father Douglas James Parlby (Jim) of Courtenay in 2021. His paternal grandparents Douglas Joshua (Jack) and Olive Parlby of Cumberland, B,C.

Gerald J. Schafer

November 13, 1950 - April 30, 2022

Gerry passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on April 30, 2022, at the age of 71. Gerry was born in Ponteix, SK, and grew up on the family farm near Hazenmore, SK. In 1961, the family moved to Calgary, still keeping the farm alive until 1972 when the farm sold. Gerry would help his father with the seeding and harvesting every year, even though he lived out of province. At 19 years old, Gerry moved from Calgary to Edmonton to work with CN Railways. He worked hard and long hours to retire as train engineer at age 55. Gerry obtained his realtors license in the mid 1970s and sold real estate in Edmonton, Calgary, and Edson, AB, until he moved to Kamloops in the early 1980s.

The realtor career was something he enjoyed as an interest along with his railroad career. He also worked with Rocky Mountaineer Rail as an engineer.

Gerry always had a love for water and nature. In 1994, he started building his lake house on the Shuswap Lake. He enjoyed his surroundings there very much, as well as hikes with friends and neighbours. Gerry always had a passion for sports, starting as a young boy with ball and glove playing catch with his brothers. His interest in curling, pickleball, softball, hockey, and tennis brought new circles of friends into his life. Gerry always strived for perfection in playing these sports and was always willing to teach the tricks of the game. He took pride in his accomplishments. His final accomplishment was very recent, going into the curling finals with his teammates in Kamloops. Gerry was also a dedicated member of AA for nearly 40 years. Good friendships were made there also.

Family requests in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made to support Ukrainian relief through the Canadian Ukrainian Foundation https://www.cufoundation.ca/.

Gerry was predeceased by his father Stephen, mother Anne, brothers Glen and Dale, and brother-in-law Bryan. He is survived by his daughter Susan; sister Clara; nephews Mathew and Colin, nieces Alana and Adelle; and his sister-in-law Deb. Gerry also leaves behind his companion, Marie, and many wonderful and caring friends and neighbours. Gerry will be dearly missed and remembered with much love.

A service to remember Anthony was organized by Schoening Funeral Service Kamloops and was held April 23rd at 12:00pm.

In staying with Gerry's wishes, there will be no service. However, he would prefer his circle of friends gather for a coffee and share stories of him.

AT WCT, THEY’RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD

Western Canada Theatre’s big production of Wizard of Oz begins on Thursday at Sagebrush Theatre SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

estern Canada Theatre is going all out with its upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz, which will feature a promising local actress centre stage as Dorothy.

The Wizard of Oz will run from Thursday, May 12, to Saturday, May 28, at the Sagebrush Theatre, with a number of matinees and special events also planned during the long run.

Western Canada Theatre artistic director James MacDonald, the play’s director and other man behind the curtain, said he started planning for the production back in January 2021.

The play, an adaptation written in 1987 by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Society, stages the familiar story many know and adds other elements, too.

Mandisa Volo is Dorothy.

Robbie Towns is the Scarecrow.

“It’s also got touches of humour, a lot more music and a pretty show-stopping production number that was cut from the movie,” MacDonald said.

Mandisa Volo, 15, is set to take on her biggest role yet as Dorothy.

It’s not her first foray with Western Canada Theatre, though, having appeared in The Sound of Music (2019) and Elf (2018).

“I’m working with such an amazing cast and crew and they all made it very clear that I belonged here — and that was

really important for me,” Volo said.

Dorothy is a role castmate Robbie Towns, who plays the Scarecrow, said Volo was born to play.

“I’ve done the show before and, usually with Dorothy, you get someone a bit older, but the fact Mandisa is just so natural in this role, I think everyone in Kamloops should come see this — just for that,” Towns said.

Volo said she was familiar with Oz beforehand, but didn’t know

the story too intimately prior to her audition.

“I think the great thing about the show is that the themes presented are so timeless,” she said.

“They’re just as important now as they were then.”

MacDonald said the play’s “there’s no place like home” theme may resonate particularly well right now.

“We’ve been at home, mostly, for the past couple of years. But in doing that, we’ve also discovered the value of home and the value of community and friendship,” he said.

Themes around escapism and imagination also remain “valuable messages,” MacDonald said, even for adults.

Towns, an Alberta-born actor who has performed throughout Canada and the United Kingdom, has taken on the role of Scarecrow before, “a long, long time ago,” he said.

In fact, it was Towns’ first professional production. He said

May is National Electrical Safety Month

playing the Scarecrow again “feels a bit like coming home” — especially because he’s working with a familiar face once again. Western Canada Theatre choreographer Tracey Power worked on both productions.

Towns said it has been challenging to be given such a physical role while coming out of the pandemic. He said he has been belting out songs on treadmills at the gym in order to prepare.

Another unique aspect stems from Western Canada Theatre’s “Go Emerald” sustainability initiative. The play’s sets will feature items donated through a recycling drive, including bicycles, rakes, bottles, cans, umbrellas and more.

“People are going to see them on stage and I just think the team has created this incredible world out of these common objects,” MacDonald said.

Tickets and more information can be found online at wctlive. ca/oz.

On Wednesday, May 18, the library will host Indigenous author and filmmaker Doreen Manuel in a virtual event to discuss her book, Brotherhood to Nationhood: George Manuel and the Making of the Modern Indian Movement. The event begins at 6:30 p.m.

The team has hosted several events, including concerts and dinners. This weekend, it will host a conference called Us Together, an event McCallum is excited to be bringing to Kamloops.

“Our vision for the events and work of our Indigenous Connections Team is to build bridges with all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, bringing unity and hope,” McCallum said.

“Us Together is a unique conference in which special guests from across Western Canada will come to Kamloops to share their very personal and very powerful stories, fueled by their passion to move toward a brighter future

together,” McCallum said.

“This is an opportunity for our church and extended community of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to come together and be inspired.”

The speakers lineup for the conference includes both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, with special musical

presentations throughout the weekend.

“We are so honoured to host this conference,”KAC lead pastor Chris Throness said. “The event is free and our hope for those attending is that they hear impactful stories from our speakers and that we can provide the space for lots of conversations to

discuss what a better future looks like and how we each play a role.”

The event’s keynote speaker is Annette Maurice, a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and residential school survivor.

As one of 12 children in her family growing up in northern Saskatchewan, Maurice experienced alcoholism in her home, violence in her community and a life as a young woman she describes as “filled with hatred and rage.”

Despite a challenging start to life, Maurice later reconciled with her father and will speak on sharing stories, sharing hope.

Leading the entertainment at the conference will be Ivan Chartrand. He and his wife work as correctional officers in Prince

Albert, Sask. Upon retirement, Chartrand plans to pursue his musical ministry full time.

Chartrand’s own story growing up was filled with challenges — losing his father, quitting school and becoming addicted to alcohol. But he, too, brings the message that hope is there for all.

“We invite the entire community to attend Us Together,” Throness said. “When we better understand each other and walk together, that is how we can start to build a better future as a community of people. And we believe there’s no better time to do that work for a brighter future than right now.”

The Us Together conference will take place at Kamloops Alliance Church, 200 Leigh Rd. in North Kamloops, on Friday, May 13, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, May 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Admission is free. To register to attend, go online to kamloopsalliance.com/events.

Young Artists Conference celebrates student creativity THE 2022 SD73 CONFERENCE MADE AN IN-PERSON COMEBACK AFTER TWO YEARS OF VIRTUAL FESTIVITIES DAVE EAGLES STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he 2022 Young Artists Conference made an in-person comeback after two years of virtual festivities.

Since 1987, the annual event for aspiring artists in elementary school has offered students an opportunity to showcase their artwork and take part in a series of workshops, but with the arrival of the pandemic in March 2020, the conference was forced to go virtual.

“Students look forward to this event, not only to work with professional artists, but also to make new friends with common interests from other schools,” said Jayne Latta, the Young Artists Conference’s committee chair. “I think they have really missed this annual event.”

The 2022 conference was held on May 4 at Thompson Rivers University, with many workshops hosted in the university’s art studios.

Students chose from a variety of sessions, including acrylic painting, graffiti art and needle work, with instruction from community professional artists and art educators.

The artwork is on display in the upstairs gallery at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, downtown at Seymour Street and First Avenue.

“The importance of working collaboratively together for the students and the opportunity to work with professional artists in person adds to, not only their artistic experience, but their overall learning

experiences too,” said Janet McCloy, the school district’s co-ordinator of arts education.

Young artists, parents and school district brass attended the May 3 reception, which included guest speaker and superintendent of schools Dr. Rhonda Nixon.

“As I visited young artists, going school to school, I was struck by the sheer passion for their work,” Nixon said.

“They always expressed that they have joy, that doing art

makes them feel joyful and they are absolutely inspired. Whether it’s a realistic painting of a scene, where there’s a special family holiday or a favourite puppy or a kitty, their eyes light up when they talk about their work.”

Roman Ziegler, a student at A.E. Perry elementary, stood beside to his painting, The Sorrow Queen, listening along with his parents.

Presenting his art in the public eye was a new experience for the Grade 6 student.

Speaking to Kamloops This Week, Roman said he did not know about the Young Artists Conference until a teacher recommended his artwork for the exhibition.

Roman said he drew a decaying queen “to give people a sense of being uncomfortable.”

“I was just feeling that way at the time when I was drawing it,” Roman said.

“Art for me, most of the time, calms me down.”

The sentiment of being able to express one’s self through art, is evidenced by the variety of genres and subject matter displayed on the walls.

Across the crowded gallery, Juniper elementary student Maya Eckerman posed for a photo while standing next to her scenic painting, which was bursting with colourful blue and green hues.

Painting reflects artist’s deep love for the outdoors From B6

For the Grade 7 artist, painting reflects her deep love for the outdoors and provides her inspiration.

“I do lots of hiking and lots of camping, Maya said.

Her acrylic painting, Rushing Waters, was inspired by a hike she and a friend took to a waterfall near Sun Peaks.

“I often paint sceneries because nothing is perfect outside, so you can just paint from memory,” Maya said.

“I find it’s fun.”

This year, more than 120 students from grades 4 to 7 were selected to represent their schools in the Young Artists Conference.

A selection committee reviewed a variety of twodimensional artwork submitted and chose the following students’ artwork to be framed and hung in the school board office next year.

ill Mason, the father of modern Canadian canoeing, once said, “I have always believed that the Canadian wooden canoe is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. There is nothing that is so aesthetically pleasing and yet so functional and versatile as the canoe. It is as much a part of our land as the rocks and trees and lakes and rivers.”

If you don’t already think it’s one of the greatest achievements, a visit to the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ont., may convince you.

When you step into the museum, you’re stepping into Canada’s history.

While south of the border wagon trains opened up the country, the lakes and rivers of Canada’s boreal forests provided a different way of exploring the west, from Quebec City all the way to the Pacific Coast.

The First Nations people developed the canoes and kayaks that traversed the inland wilderness waters and the northern oceans and bays of Canada.

Then came the coureurs de bois (runners of the woods) like Pierre Radisson, the voyageurs of the Northwest Fur Company, which later merged with the Hudson’s Bay Company, and explorers and map-makers like Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser and David Thompson.

means became available, canoes and kayaks became vehicles for recreation and competition: vacationers began to use them to fish and hunt and just to paddle and Olympians fight for medals every four years in various paddling categories.

The museum shows all of this history through galleries, exhibits and hands-on activities.

The craft housed by the museum includes more than 600 canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft. More than 100 sit on display in the galleries.

They range from dugouts of the Pacific Northwest to bark canoes of Newfoundland’s Beothuks. from the skin-onframe kayaks of the north from

Baffin Island in the east to the Mackenzie River Delta in the northwest to the all-wood and canvas-covered watercraft of modern times.

There are plans to move the museum to a larger facility, on the water, one in which more of the watercraft can be on permanent public display.

“The canoes in our collection offer us a unique lens onto the complex history of people living in Canada,” said Jeremy Ward, the museum’s curator.

“A complex portrait such as this deserves a fitting home to properly care for it, which is why we’re working towards building a new museum that offers new learning opportunities through

on-water programming, new exhibitions and the full collection under one roof.”

Strolling through the displays, I walked past canoes with stories: Bill Mason’s red canoe, Robert Bateman’s beloved Minto canoe and Gordon Lightfoot’s canary yellow canoe.

I watched skilled craftspeople create amazing art, including one man decorating a paddle with pieces of mirrors.

In the section devoted to competitive paddling, I saw memorabilia from Adam van Koeverden, a Canadian gold medalist and twotime world champion paddler.

hundreds of years old — I felt that I wanted step into one and paddle back into time…

While I couldn’t pick up the beautiful birchbark canoe and go for a paddle, I could do something else — I could make my own canoe paddle.

Creating your own paddle is one of the hands-on workshops the museum offers visitors.

I picked out a partially cut paddle, then spent the better part of three days under the guidance of instructor Russ Parker carving it down with a variety of hand-tools, working at it with sandpaper to eventually create my very own paddle.

The almost Zen-like constant shaving and shaping of the wood caused the hours to fly by.

Once the main shape was done, it went down to another part of the museum workshop for the final buffing with a sander to make it ready to apply linseed oil as waterproofing.

In addition to workshops like paddle-carving, the museum guides trips in voyageur canoes, both with family groups and as special custom tours. There are also guided museum tours, paddling camps, and many other activities which you can book in advance.

As I’m leaving the museum, a quote by Archie Belaney, a.k.a.

“Grey Owl,” pops into my head: “Give me a good canoe, a pair of ’Jibway snowshoes, my beaver, my family and 10,000 square miles of wilderness and I am happy.”

I thought, “If I can’t be canoeing, the next best thing is visiting the Canadian Canoe Museum.”

FAITH

Exploring the sunset of faith

“

When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the Earth?” I find this one of the most depressing statements in the Bible.

The quote is from Jesus, found in the Book of Luke.

He is referring to his own second coming. But the implication is that when that time approaches, religious faith will have waned to almost imperceptible levels.

No one can deny that this situation is rapidly approaching. Angus Reid did a poll on religiosity in Canada earlier this year.

The poll indicated that, for the first time since poll-taking on this topic began in 1985, people’s attachment to any religious affiliation fell below 70 per cent (it’s at 68 per cent and dropping).

About one-fifth of Canadians report no connection to any formal religion at all and only 16 per cent of poll respondents declared they were “religiously committed.”

That is generally taken to mean they actively follow a particular faith, regularly attend religious services and partake in religious activities, such as prayer, financially supporting their church, volunteering in church-related activities and reading holy scriptures.

In other words, there are now more Canadians with no faith at all than those who are actively committed to practising a religious faith.

The attitudes of Canadians to those who practise a religion

are also becoming more negative. Evangelical Christians (of which I am one) appear to be the group most likely to be viewed negatively, not only by atheists and non-believers, but also by other Christian groups, such as Catholics and mainline Protestants.

Evangelical Christians form about seven per cent of the population currently, which is a drop from 12 per cent found in a 2003 survey.

About 56 per cent of evangelical Christians report that they feel “shut out” of society because of their faith.

For example, it is virtually impossible to become a candidate in the Liberal Party of Canada if you are a committed evangelical Christian.

Expressing a biblical point of view in public can get you labelled a “hater.”

Yet God expects us not to be “conformed to this world.” We cannot be cheerleaders for sin.

The Apostle Paul had a grim warning for believers in the last days: “There will be terrible times in the last days. People

will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power.”

“Having a form of godliness, but denying its power” seems to describe a great deal of what passes for religiosity today.

The trappings of religious practise are observed, but only at a surface level. There is no true recognition of the power of God to radically transform people’s lives.

Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr nailed the situation with his observation on Western Christianity: “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.”

It is a kind of insipid religious practise without any consequences for sin or any requirement that serious moral shortcomings be confronted and remedied. It is a church without any discipline of members who live lives in total contradiction to the high standards demanded of all true believers.

It is probably what gave rise to Mahatma Gandhi’s famous observation about Christians: “I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians because they are so unlike your Christ.”

Abraham Kuyper was

the former prime minister of the Netherlands at the beginning of the last century and an influential theologian.

He advocated a kind of unapologetic muscular Christianity, one that is notable for its courage and steadfastness.

He wrote: “When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling and peace has become sin. You must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.”

I’m having trouble thinking of anyone these days who meets this standard of courage.

There are countless passages in scripture that urge believers to “fear not.” Martial language is often used, such as the Apostle Paul’s urging of believers to take up the “shield of faith” and arm themselves with the “helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit.”

As Dennis Jernigan said in his book, Mighty Men of Valour: “Just because the battle never seems to end doesn’t mean you’re losing. It just means you’ve something to defend.”

Your task, believer, is to be one of those who Jesus finds still holding true to the faith when he returns.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Avoid going down the rabbit hole that can be social media, Aries. Put your phone or tablet to the side for a little bit and focus your attention elsewhere.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Be mindful of whom you confide in this week, Cancer. Not everyone has your best interests at heart and may use the information you share to his or her advantage instead of yours.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Try to stay calm and grounded right now, Taurus. Others can learn from your example at work, as you likely will be the voice of reason among your colleagues.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

A partner or close friend may seem to pull away from you this week, Leo. Don’t take it personally as it won’t be a permanent break. Soon things will be back to normal.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Gemini, if you are having trouble figuring out a path this week, try to meditate on a solution. Find a quiet spot and visualize your goals and how you can achieve them.

Sticking to your normal routine this week simply will not be possible, Virgo. Start brainstorming ways you can get things done more quickly.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20

Libra, your ego may take a temporary hit as someone in your sphere gets a promotion or a recognition before you. Don’t take this to heart as it is only time before you get to shine.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Try to avoid any impulsive spending for the next several days, Capricorn.

The temptation will be high, so this will be a bit of a challenge for you. Stick to the essentials.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Try not to trigger any people in your home who seem to be more tense than usual, Scorpio. It may be tricky, but keep the calm and maintain the status quo for now.

Aquarius, stay calm and keep your nose to the grindstone during a potentially hectic week. This may mean taking a day off or at least a step back.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Well-meaning advice can backfire if it is offered unsolicited, Sagittarius.

Unless someone comes to you seeking help, it’s best to stay silent for now.

Some truths are difficult to hear and swallow, Pisces. Only through learning all sides of the story can you grow as a person.
