Singh deputy mayor, byelection possible ANDREA KLASSEN

Kamloops city council has a new leader — but how long Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh will hold the role remains up in the air. On Tuesday, as councillors were preparing to vote to appoint Singh as a replacement for Mayor Peter Milobar — who announced that morning he plans to take a leave of absence after his election as MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson — Marg Spina said she would be resigning as of June 30. Spina, who made her first council appearance of 2017, said the cancer for which she has been seeking treatment is “not curable.” “With the type of cancer I have, it can’t be combined with a dynamic or

stressful job,” Spina told council. Under provincial law, if Spina resigns before Jan. 1, 2018, her seat will need to be filled via byelection. Such a resignation would likely pave the way for Milobar to resign as well. Milobar was at a B.C. Liberal caucus meeting in Vancouver at the time of Spina’s announcement, but had earlier decided to take a leave, rather than resign and force a byelection. No byelections are necessary if resignations from council occur on or after Jan. 1 of an election year. The next civic election will be held on Oct. 20, 2018. Spina said her absence has already led to certain council duties going unfilled, noting committees she sat on have gone without council representation.

FLOOD WATCH TURNS TO TEMPERATURE WATCH
ONLINE
Crews work to control flooding on area streets on the Tk’emlups Indian Band on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Kamloops Deputy Fire chief Dan Sutherland told council water levels are falling in creeks around the city, but staff is closely monitoring the North and South Thompson rivers in case warm weather brings new flood events. Sutherland said much of the snowpack that feeds into the rivers has yet to melt, noting extremely hot days could trigger flooding. “We’re in the hands of Mother Nature, there’s no doubt about that. But we’re going to do everything in our power to be as ready as we can be,” he said. Sutherland said the city has asked the province to train staff in new flood-mitigation technology, which would require fewer follow-up repairs than the traditional gabion baskets, and is working on plans should the river rise to flood levels. The North Thompson River typically reaches its highest levels in about a month, with the South Thompson River following soon after. Environment Canada is calling for sunny skies and warm temperatures, with a high of 23 C on the weekend and 28 C by Tuesday. For more on Interior flooding, turn to page A14.

An alleged Grinch accused of stealing $800 in Christmas bonuses from his coworkers is standing trial in Kamloops provincial court this week. William Arthur Baillie is facing one count each of theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. The 56-year-old is accused of stealing a stack of pay stub envelopes from his employer, Argo Road Maintenance, each containing a $50 gift card for Save-On Foods. Richard Nelson, senior road foreman at Argo’s Barriere office, testified he left the envelopes on his desk only to find them missing on the morning of Dec. 4, 2015. “Sixteen were missing,” he said.
“The gift cards are valued at $50 each, so it was about $800.” Nelson said the Save-On gift cards are something of a tradition at Argo. “They are for everybody’s Christmas bonus,” he said. “Everybody on the payroll at that time received a $50 gift card with their pay stub before Christmas.” Save-On Foods cashier Greg Wallace testified on Wednesday that he was manning the till in December 2015 when a customer came through with an order of more than $300 and paid entirely with $50 gift cards. “The amount of chicken wings that he bought, oranges that he bought, it looked like he was getting ready for a Christmas party,” Wallace said. “Normally, a customer will produce one gift card — maybe a gift card of $100 or $50.
“But I don’t think I recall a customer having this many gift cards for a single order,” he said. “In all the other transactions I’ve done, I know I haven’t had another customer pay for his whole order with seven $50 gift cards.” Wallace said the customer told him he had collected the gift cards from co-workers to purchase items for an office Christmas party. Court was also shown video surveillance of a man in a fluorescent work jacket purchasing items from Wallace. An Argo employee testified earlier that Baillie showed up unexpectedly at the company’s shop in the hours before the alleged theft. Baillie’s trial was expected to conclude on Wednesday but had not as of KTW press time.

THANK YOU KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Consider the redefinition of playtime complete. Tourism Kamloops launched a new brand and slogan on Tuesday, ditching the decade-old “Playtime Redefined” in favour of “Boldly Unscripted.” “It was just time for a refresh,” Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis told KTW at Tuesday’s launch party, a convivial circus-themed celebration at Tranquille on the Lake. “To be bold is to step out and take chances and make people pay attention. Kamloops has been one of those destinations where people drive by us on the highway and don’t really pay attention. “We want people to stop and pay attention.” DeSantis said the slogan, which took nine months to create, reflects Kamloops’ history as much as it accentuates its
present-day offerings. She noted the bold attitudes required by pioneers and other explorers who helped establish the community. “They were bold and they had no plans and look at what they’ve created,” she said. “It’s really just getting back to our roots.” According to DeSantis, the rebrand became a top priority soon after she took over as Tourism Kamloops’ CEO last year. “Pretty soon after I got here, we sat with the team and decided we needed to rebrand,” she said. “The one thing we kept hearing more and more is how much locals love living in Kamloops.” DeSantis said she thinks the new slogan reflects the broad appeal the Kamloops area can have for visitors. “There’s what you expect to happen and then there’s the real story,” she said. Tuesday’s launch event — a
party featuring food and drinks from more than a dozen local businesses — was the first day in a 12-month campaign by Tourism Kamloops aimed at bringing new visitors to the area. DeSantis said the new brand will be promoted by Tourism Kamloops’ 360 Kamera Krew, members of which will capture real moments, with real people, all year-round. “The 360 Kamera Krew will be everywhere in our city for the next year, videotaping all of the unscripted moments that happen in and around Kamloops,” DeSantis said. “Tourism Kamloops will use these moments to promote, endorse, brag about, tweet, blog, advertise and share our city’s stories everywhere and every way we can.” The new brand and campaign will be featured on Tourism Kamloops’ new website (tourismkamloops.com) on social media and in various marketing materials.

Spina says her resignation is inevitable From A1
Spina noted none of her colleagues ran
for a position on the Southern Interior Local Government Association, the region’s
main lobbying arm for municipalities, of which she is a pastpresident.
“I think we’re at a crossroads in this city,” she said. “We’re at 90,000 people, we have a $200-million budget. We need vision for the future and we need passionate people to drive it forward. “And my concern is penny rich, pound poor.“ In an emotional debate, councillors paid tribute to Spina’s terms on council — but several urged her to stay on at least until 2018. “There’s cities across the province, including Delta, B.C., that work comfortably with six councillors and an elected mayor,” Denis Walsh said. Tina Lange said a byelection isn’t desired by voters, who have stated in numerous informal polls — including the current KTW online question — that they are not interested in casting ballots. “Byelections in this city have historically
had a voter turnout of less than 10 per cent,” Lange added. But Ken Christian said the remaining seven councillors may also miss meetings because of illness or other obligations, council-related or otherwise, which could cause issues for the city. “I don’t want to get to the point where we have developers coming to council depending on who’s going to be on the roster any given day,” he said. Christian, who favours a byelection, has stated he will run to replace Milobar if a vote is called. Pat Wallace, who also favours a byelection, said she will also be away for several weeks in June, due to surgery related to a fall she sustained following a public meeting last year. “And that’s what happens. People travel, people get sick,” she said. Speaking to media,
Spina said she plans to discuss her potential resignation with Milobar and council and think more about the best course of action. But, she added, an eventual resignation is inevitable. “I can’t combine the job with the disease and I don’t like being paid when I’m not working,” she said. Spina does not expect to return to council in the near future, but said she will try to come back if there is “a really important vote.” In the meantime, councillors have voted unanimously to make Singh the permanent deputy mayor and to pay him a salary equal to Milobar’s for however long the job is his. In 2015, Milobar’s salary was $99,483. The Kamloops mayor’s pay is calculated by taking the average paid in 14 B.C. communities, including Kelowna, Delta and Prince
George, once the highest and lowest salaries are removed. If the mayor’s current pay is less than 90 per cent of that average, his wage is increased by two times the Consumer Price Index for Vancouver. Councillors were paid 35 per cent of Milobar’s wage in 2015, bringing them to just over $30,000 each for that year. That amount will increase this year to 40 per cent of the mayor’s salary. The city’s 2016 financial statements will be released next month. Also on Tuesday, council gave first three readings to a new “perpetual” election bylaw, to replace the bylaws it typically passes before each election. The bylaw includes basic rules about the nomination process and voting. Once it is passed, it will pave the way for a byelection this fall, if one is called.

There’s been banana bread and chocolate bars left in her mailbox, along with 400 cards and countless other shows of support since Kamloops Coun. Marg Spina stepped away from regular duties at the beginning of the year to battle a cancer diagnosis. Spina reflected on the outpouring of support from community members she represented for nine years after announcing on Tuesday that she may resign her seat as early as June 30 due to the fact her cancer is incurable. “It’s been heartening and it’s been heartening for my family, too,” she said. “I’m sure I’ve had about 400 cards, some from people I didn’t know very well. You don’t always know what people think of you. People I worked with 20 years ago have sent letters.” Elected to council in 2008, Spina was working on her third term when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After six months away from city hall (Tuesday’s meeting was her first since 2016), Spina said she is hoping her eventual successor will be passionate about planning for the future. “I think we need a lot more supports for seniors, for instance. How we run buildings, even the kind of housing

that’s being built,” she said, noting older Kamloopsians have trouble finding onestorey bungalows, which can help them avoid stairs. Spina said the decision to resign now comes after discussion with her family and ahead of an upcoming surgery and further treatments beyond the chemotherapy she is already undergoing. “This coming Friday, I meet with my oncologist and I’ll find out how much surgery and radiation after. I’m not even through half of the process and it looks like I’ve got at least another
half year in there,” she said. Spina said she is proud of the work of the past three councils, including the construction of the city’s water-treatment and sewage-treatment centres and its food-security measures. “We really are a lighthouse city. The difference between us and other cities is we know each other, we support each other and we do it until it’s done,” she said. “They don’t make excuses, they just do it — and I just love that about Kamloops.”

Six Unique Lakeside Retreats in British Columbia Is there anything better than a room with a view? The lure of staying lakeside is strong, not just for the lovely views but for easy access to sandy shores and surrounding woods or vineyards. It also helps if your accommodation is top-notch. In BC, you can have it all. Wine Country nest on Okanagan Lake, Kelowna For a weekend in wine country, head to Quails’ Gate, a family-run operation in BC’s Okanagan Valley that boasts not one but two lakeside retreats. The Lake House, a luxury fourbedroom property fit for 10, has a sprawling kitchen, multiple patios, and a private dock. The Nest offers cosier comfort for seven, plus access to a private beach. Wine fridge empty? Swirl and sip at a 30-minute Passion for Pinot Noir tasting or 60-minute Best of Boucherie Tour, and choose your favourites to bring back to your lakeside home away from home.
HistoriC HideaWay on Okanagan Lake, Naramata The lure of Okanagan Lake—a vast and deep pool of blue—can be traced to BC’s Gold Rush. It was in 1908, during days of boom and bust, that a stretch of sand on the eastern lakeshore near Penticton proved an ideal spot for newspaper magnate John Moore Robinson to build his dream home. The Naramata Heritage Inn & Spa served as a cultural centre, girls’ private school, and a family residence. Today, the inn boasts 12 finely appointed rooms, a restaurant, and a spa—all within reach of stellar wineries and cycling along the historic Kettle Valley Rail Trail. BeaCHy-Keen Comfort on Skaha Lake, Penticton Barefoot Beach Resort, a new Penticton offering on Skaha Lake’s warm, sandy shoreline, promises a stay that’s far from conventional. Here, 12 yurts, complete with
private patios and barbecues, draw sunseekers to BC’s Okanagan. Lazy days will be spent on the water, while evening respite will draw you back to your cool, circular shelter. Bonus: outfitted with skylights, the resort’s yurts offer plenty of opportunity to stargaze while you drift into dreamland. roCKy mountain retreat on Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park Set on the shores of its namesake lake, Emerald Lake Lodge is ideal for outdoorsy types, thanks to hand-hewn timber cabins surrounded by serious Rocky Mountain peaks. A haven for hikers, canoeists, and paddleboarders, Yoho National Park-situated Emerald Lake provides the ultimate home base for adventure. Following a day’s pursuits, it’s back to the main lodge, bedecked with century-old fireplaces and an oak bar salvaged from an 1890s Yukon saloon. We’ll drink to that.
Emerald Lake Lodge takes its name from the area’s jewel-toned water. LaKeside mansion on Kootenay Lake, Nelson Kootenay Lake. Selkirk Mountains. For Selwyn G. Blaylock, this slice of heaven near Nelson was the ideal spot for a summer home. Built in the early 1930s, the historic Blaylock’s Mansion welcomes all with seven rooms adorned with period furniture and antiques, a billiards room, and a massage and steam-room facility. The property also boasts 5.1 hectares (13 acres) of manicured gardens—including one of the largest arboretums in the Kootenay Rockies— an outdoor swimming pool, private tennis courts, and a gardener’s cabin that has been renovated for summer sleepovers.
Hot springs Hot spot on Upper Arrow Lake, Halcyon Hot Springs The cottages and chalets at Halcyon Hot Springs provide excellent accommodation for those who love everything to do with water. Hop on an inflatable air mattress for a splash in Upper Arrow Lake, or opt for a soak in the resort’s healing, mineral-rich pools. The restorative springs at this year-round retreat draw enthusiasts in need of a reprieve; warm, hot, and even cold plunges revive the senses. Out of the water, the resort boasts a full-service spa, and the Kingfisher Restaurant pairs local ingredients with views of the Monashee Mountains and the pretty lake in the distance.

FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES
K
amloops Deputy Fire chief Dan Sutherland appeared before city council on Tuesday to give an update on the flood situation in and around Kamloops — and to offer well-deserved kudos to all those employees working in the background to do what they can to minimize the damage from rising waters. Sutherland noted creek levels have been dropping and that work continues to shore up eroded banks and to sandbag and undertake other measures to protect property. But the danger is far from over. The flooding thus far in Barnhartvale, Westsyde, Heffley Creek and Cherry Creek has been caused by heavy rains and a larger than normal snowpack that is beginning to melt. That snowpack is well above average depths in both the North and South Thompson regions and next week’s forecast of much warmer temperatures may pose real problems for those already fighting the waters and others living near streams, creeks and rivers. While the rainy spring has brought grumbles from golfers and outdoor enthusiasts, the volume of precipitation has been downright dangerous. The amount of rainfall in the past three months, February through April, was 185 per cent of normal, according to figures at Kamloops Airport. Just over 73 millimetres of rain fell during the period. That wetness will be replaced by heat as Environment Canada is calling for sunshine and temperatures to reach as high as 28 C by Tuesday, which is a recipe for more snowmelt and rising waters. The good news, if there is any, is that the mercury is expected to drop to seasonal readings of 19 C or 20 C by the end of next week. In the meantime, be vigilant and do what you can to shore up your property. Stay away from fast-running streams and always watch for washed-out roads when driving.

Real life added to agenda
A
s 2016 gave way to 2017, the online trend was for people to lament the year that was as being the worst ever and to embrace the new year as one bringing a change in luck. I suppose most years bring enough misery to many that any 12-month span could be eagerly waved away, but 2016 did seem that much more nasty, with the bitter election south of us, an increasingly volatile geopolitical scenario and the untimely deaths of many famous people. Cue 2017 and it seems as dreary as its predecessor. There is the weather, which needs no more comment. There was news our very own Dale Bass has taken leave to deal with breast cancer. And, on Tuesday, there was Marg Spina’s return to Kamloops council, where she delivered the devastating news her cancer is not curable and that she may be resigning from council at the end of June. Death is part of life, or so we are told, but when it accosts those with many years to live and much to live for, it invokes anger and confusion. Spina took medical leave from council last year to deal with cancer. She returned on Tuesday to inform the public that her disease is not curable. Spina delivered the news with stoicism and, befitting a person long involved in civic matters, touched on the ramifications to the city when she

MUSINGS leaves council. Running for office generally attracts a certain breed, those who are intensely interested in their community and want to protect and improve it. Before she was elected to council, Spina’s community involvement was deep, from heading the Kamloops Food Bank to being a founding member of the B.C. Council on Autism. (Go online to kamloops.ca and click on city council bios to read about everything in which Spina has been involved. Brew a cup of coffee and get comfortable as it is an impressively long list.) Spina’s sad news was delivered in the midst of a council debate on the future of the mayor’s chair at the horseshoe table that houses Kamloops’ elected representatives. Peter Milobar’s May 9 election as MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson means he had to make a decision on his role as mayor: resign and trigger a byelection or take an extended
leave and ask council to carry on until the next election with a permanent deputy mayor. Milobar chose the latter and council concurred, deciding on Arjun Singh to fill Milobar’s seat for the time being. But Spina, who had to be viewing everything through a vastly different filter than anybody else in those council chambers, who had moments before delivered publicly news of her very mortality, continued her role as elected official, mortality be damned. She commented on the effect her absence has had on roles she served, some of which have not been filled. She opined on debate over spending $100,000-plus on a byelection as possibly being “penny rich, pound poor.” She was speaking for the community, despite dealing with a situation few can comprehend. It was not dramatic nor maudlin. It was straightforward and classy, as were the spontaneous, brief tributes paid to Spina by fellow councillors and staff members and two reporters, KTW’s Andrea Klassen and Radio NL’s Angelo Iaccubucci. Yes, Spina grabbed a tissue and dabbed at some tears, as did others. This is real life, not political theatre, and sometimes news such as that delivered by Spina serves a purpose in guiding us to what should be our priorities. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THEY CAN’T SHOOT STRAIGHT Editor: Just when you thought things could not get any more bizarre with our city council, rumours are circulating about its reluctance to grant the citizens of Kamloops their democratic right.
I read with interest talk about spending about $13 million via grants on the West Victoria Street project, yet council may not be willing to find money to fund a byelection to fill two council seats? In my some 50 years liv-
ing in Kamloops, this has to be the most inept council I’ve seen. It kind of reminds me of the movie with “the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.” Dale Mortimer Kamloops
SPEEDING TOWARD DISASTERS
GROW VEGGIES AND GET HEALTHY Editor: The election is finally over and we can now get busy planting with the improving weather. We just had seven raised garden boxes (above photo) put in by landscaper Pierre Filisetti, who has a strong opinion about everything. He is very entertaining, but gets a lot done in a short time. This is such a great idea to grow plenty of veggies in a small area. I totally agree with Mark Hyslop’s letter of May 9 (‘Preventive health care is crucial for all’), in which he wrote “we do not take care of ourselves and hope doctors will take care of us instead.” Here is a way of doing it: get off your butt, lose some weight and get some exercise growing healthy food. Judy Brennan Kamloops
Editor: Do we still have functional traffic enforcement departments within our city and provincial RCMP detachments? Speeding and aggressive driving on our roads has increased everywhere. I noticed Westsyde residents are once again attempting to address speeding and aggressive driving problems on their main artery after yet another pedestrian was hit by a vehicle. In a recent edition of KTW, Jaimie Paluck wrote to the editor regarding other bad driving habits on our city streets and highways where commercial vehicles (so-called professional drivers) are also engaging in the same dangerous habits. These traffic problems are not new issues and they cannot be left up to the general public to try to correct them, since we, very simply put, have no vested authority to act. The authority lies with our RCMP to get these serious traffic problems under control It appears to me that over several years, ongoing speed enforcement has slowly diminished to the extent that it is little to non-existent. Last summer, the RCMP held a publicengagement meeting at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. I attended it.
One of the predominant points raised by the public was speed enforcement and road safety issues, such as speeding, aggressive driving and other bad habits on the road. In the days immediately following this meeting, it was gratifying to see the RCMP once again our on our streets and highways enforcing the speed limits. The trouble was that it turned out to be about a two-week blitz. We are now back to what has become the status quo of little to non-existent speed enforcement, just as it was before the public-engagement meeting. Blitzes will not do. We suggested to the RCMP that ongoing rotating speed enforcement throughout our city and on our highways needs to be reimplemented. So, where are they and did they hear us? I told the RCMP they might as well throw a bag over the speed signs on our roads because it is a free-for-all every day. I believe the ongoing lack of proper speed enforcement over the years is responsible for producing the unsafe speed culture of drivers that we witness today. Someone now has to fix it. Who will it be? Bob Wren Kamloops

MORTGAGE MATTERS Co-signers are cool again! For the last few years it has been nice for first-time homebuyers to get out from under expensive rents and into home ownership – without the need for a co-signer. But changes to Canada’s mortgage rules have made co-signers a necessity for some buyers. What’s changed? 1) Stress test – buyers are subject to a higher interest rate to test their ability to afford future higher payments 2) Income rules – buyers require more proof of income, including: Job letter; recent pay-stubs; two years T-4 and T-1 General; two years Notice of Assessment from Revenue Canada. The new rules mean your bank or mortgage broker might ask for things they had never previously requested. 3) Bank Reserves – You could be charged more for borrowing because banks are being asked to hold onto more cash in case of mortgage defaults or missed payments. 4) Changes lead to changes – This change to mortgage lending rules is HOT off the presses, so not every lender has decided how to respond. Questions like, “What do you do about specialty mortgages like rental?” or “How do you properly price mortgages?” are on bankers’ minds. Regulators and banks are still working out the kinks in this new lending environment. As a professional mortgage broker, it’s my job to navigate the rules for you and to find the bank that will say YES to you, OR to outline a plan that will get a YES in the near future. I am here to help. Contact me anytime to find out what these mortgage changes could mean for you and your plans in 2017! Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Bail for accused in robbery TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man accused of robbing an acquaintance at gunpoint inside her apartment has been granted bail. Jeremy Orr-Hall was released from custody on Tuesday. The 21-year-old is facing charges in relation to an alleged robbery on March 23.
On that date, Orr-Hall is accused of entering the apartment of a woman he knew through friends and showing her a handgun and ammunition in what she described as a “man purse.” Court heard Orr-Hall took a nap at the woman’s apartment. When he woke up, court heard, he began to accuse her of stealing his drugs.
Orr-Hall is accused of pointing a handgun at the woman and threatening her while stealing $230 from her purse. Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand released Orr-Hall to attend a drug-treatment centre in Logan Lake. Orr-Hall, who is also facing two outstanding charges of driving while prohibited, is due back in court on June 5.
Mounties looking for Good Samaritan A man was treated in hospital this week after being shot — and police are looking to speak to a Good Samaritan who drove him to medical aid. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the passerby spotted two men in distress in downtown Kamloops sometime between 6:15 a.m. and
6:45 a.m. on Tuesday and offered them a ride to Royal Inland Hospital. One of the men had suffered a gunshot wound. The Good Samaritan is described as being a middleaged white man driving a brown truck. He told the men he was on his way to work
when he picked them up. Shelkie said police are working to determine how the man was shot. Anyone with information about the shooting or the Good Samaritan is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.
City seeking $12 million in grants The City of Kamloops is moving ahead with a pair of grant applications worth up to $12 million in funding. Councillors voted unanimously on Tuesday to apply for gas tax grants for roadworks and beautification along Tranquille Road near Fulton Field and West Victoria Street. The North Shore works are budgeted at $6.125 million, and include drainage improvements, a multi-use walkway alongside the road, new foliage and other upgrades. The work is slated to be completed when
the city replaces sewer mains along the corridor. The West Victoria project would also see aging pipes under the roadway replaced, sidewalk upgraded and new landscaping. Power lines and poles would also be buried as part of the plans, contributing to its much higher cost than the Tranquille project. Budget estimates for the project are about $12.8 million. The grant program will fund up to 100 per cent of projects, up to a maximum of $6 million.

AWARD-WINNING SCOUT
DON CRAIG PHOTOGRAPHY
Kamloops Venturer Scout Rhys Paetkau was recently awarded the prestigious Queen’s Venturer Award, presented by Lieut.-Gov. Judith Guichon. The awards recognize the outstanding achievements among Venturer Scouts between the ages of 14 and 17, with the honour taking place at Government House in Victoria.
Funding in place for summer student hires The federal government has allocated $750,000 to regional employers for summer student hiring. The Canada Summer Jobs program provides funding to help employers create seasonal jobs for students. It focuses on local priorities that help students and the community, according to federal government information. The jobs are intended to create
work experience for students, support local organizations and focus on community needs. About 230 jobs were approved in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding, according to local Conservative MP Cathy Mcleod.

BC SPCA seizes 59 cats from property in Chase The BC SPCA has seized from a property in Chase 59 cats it said were neglected and injured. According to Kathy Woodward, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA, the 47 adult cats and 12 kittens were being kept in an outdoor camper and a travel trailer and were suffering from a wide variety of medical issues. “The cats were being kept in a filthy environment, with feces everywhere and high levels of ammonia from the urine,” Woodward said. “There was dense mould in the
trailer and camper and the animals did not have access to food or water.” Woodward said the cats were thin and dehydrated and were suffering from eye infections, trauma and other issues. The adult cats are being assessed and treated at BC SPCA branches in the Okanagan and Kootenays and the emaciated kittens are under veterinary care. Woodward said the SPCA will be recommending charges of animal cruelty against those housing the animals.
These are three of the 59 cats the BC SPCA seized from a property in Chase earlier this month. The agency is recommending charges of animal cruelty against those housing the animals.

vehicle parks remained on evacuation alert in the same area, while the City of Merritt was also coping with high water as the Nicola River has breached its banks. A city official said a few streets are flooded but no homes have been damaged and she expected it could be a week before conditions dry up. In Kamloops, rising waters of Campbell Creek washed away a trail in the BC Wildlife Park and forced park officials to move mountain goats to a safer enclosure. The Central Okanagan Regional District said levels of Okanagan Lake rose more than three centimetres Tuesday and lakeside residents were urged to prepare for high water. The district continued to set up dams and sandbags to protect parts of floodthreatened downtown Kelowna. It said the lake currently sits at 342.74 meters and is rising at a rate of more than three centimetres daily. Officials have warned that serious flooding will occur if Okanagan lake surpasses the 343metre level. In its latest flood preparation memo issued Wednesday, the district included specific directions to help residents determine how far flood waters are expected to seep across their properties. “Use a tape measure to measure an additional 86 centimetres vertically above the existing water level [of 342.74 metres]. This will equal 343.6 metres, which includes the projected flood level plus buffer to protect from wave action,’’ the district advised. The memo advised homeowners to mark the level against something stationary such as a tree, fence or wall and to build flood protection measures including sandbag walls, up to that height. Homeowners who do not have flood insurance may submit a claim for flood losses on or before Aug. 5.

Infrastructure bank may As Trump troubles spiral, Washington avoid risky projects: Sohi THE UNITED STATES
starts whispering ‘impeachment’ ALEXANDER PANETTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — The I-word has entered the Washington vocabulary. That forbidden word — the 11-letter pathway to political damnation, is suddenly, timidly, tiptoeing onto the tongues of capital-dwellers. A Democrat suggested it on the floor of Congress on Wednesday. A Republican conceded it might be a possibility. And an Independent expressed regret about having to even mention the fear-inducing noun. Impeachment. “The president must be impeached,’’ said Democrat Al Green, raising it on the congressional floor Wednesday. “This is not something to be taken lightly. And I do not. . . . It’s a position of conscience for me.’’ The fact that it’s travelled in just one week from the realm of liberal bar-room fantasizing to open discussion in the hallways of Congress indicates the degree of turmoil caused to Trump’s presidency in just a few days. How did this happen? It’s been less than two weeks since the president held a victory party on the White House lawn, surrounded by jubilant Republicans, as they celebrated the partial passage of a health-reform bill. But it turns out a president can
accumulate lots of damage by firing an FBI director; changing the story about why; becoming the target of a congressional investigation that’s expanding into money-laundering; sharing intelligence with Russia, to the dismay of allies; being accused of interfering with a police probe; chewing out his staff; and seeing enemies within government leak constantly to the press. Trump fumed about it in a speech to graduates of the Coast Guard Academy. “Look at the way I’ve been treated lately, especially by the media,’’ Trump told the ceremony on Wednesday. “No politician in history — and I say this with great surety — has been treated worse or more unfairly.’’ A perceptible shift has occurred. It happened the instant news reports surfaced saying that fired FBI director James Comey kept a diary of his interactions with the president and in it the president purportedly asked him to cut short a Russiarelated investigation. That hint of obstruction of justice was a turning point for many. Never mind the occasional whisper about impeachment — which remains a long shot. Late in the day on Wednesday, former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed to oversee a federal investigation into potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The government’s new agency for financing major construction projects might take a pass on proposals that pose too great a risk for taxpayers when they’re asked to make a private sector idea a reality, the infrastructure minister says. Amarjeet Sohi said the key test for the so-called infrastructure bank, which combines public and private funding for major projects, will be whether it is financially viable in the long run to provide the necessary returns to public and private investors.
The government will be taking on financial risk regardless of what projects go ahead, but only on its portion of the funding, not the entire cost of the project, Sohi said in an interview Wednesday with The Canadian Press. The Liberal government has been parrying opposition questions about the agency and just how much public money will be on the line for transport, energy, and transit projects that could cross municipal, provincial and international borders. “That is the review that the bank will do: is it too risky for
the government to get involved? Maybe the government will not get involved,’’ Sohi said. The Liberals see the bank as a way to use public dollars to leverage private funding for projects that are either too expensive or too risky for Ottawa or the private sector to go it alone. The government plans to fund the bank with $15 billion in cash from its long-term infrastructure plan and a further $20 billion in financing, the costs of which would be defrayed through project user fees or other revenue streams.
First Nations vow to stop Keystone XL THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A coalition of aboriginal groups from Canada and the U.S. has signed a declaration against the Keystone XL pipeline, vowing to use the courts and whatever other means necessary to block the controversial project. At a signing ceremony in Calgary, leaders of the Blackfoot Confederacy and Great Sioux Nation representing tribes in both countries called for more dialogue and consultations on the project, which would run through their lands.
Meet Neil Rachynski Kamloops’ only Media Real Estate Marketing Expert
Chairman Brandon Sazue of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe says they hope to use the “right way’’ of opposing the pipeline, including the courts and nego-
tiations, but as a last means he and others are prepared to protest like they did against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Sazue, who was arrested at the
Standing Rock Indian Reservation protests against Dakota Access, said he’s not looking for confrontation but will stand up for what he believes.

efore Tara Holmes worked at Kamloops This Week, she had for years been filling a binder with stories written by Dale Bass. The comedian and KTW staffer even went so far as to write “We love Dale” in that book in appreciation of Bass’ arts and entertainment coverage. It’s why when KTW’s associate editor recently penned an extremely personal column revealing she had been diagnosed with cancer, Holmes and several others from the local arts community decided it was time to give back. “I started receiving messages from people in the community asking what we could do,” Holmes said. “I’d like to say this is my idea, but it wasn’t actually. It stemmed from people reaching out to me who know that Dale means a lot to the community and to them, so they wanted to do something for her.” Holmes, along with comedians Lisa McCauley and Joey Jack, magician Clinton W. Gray and musician Henry Small will perform during Healing Bass with the Magic of Laughter and Song on Monday, June 12, at the Blue Grotto in downtown Kamloops.

New breast cancer support group starts MONTHLY MEETINGS FOR THOSE AT ALL STAGES OF DISEASE JESSICA WALLACE

F
or support, Kamloops breast cancer survivors often look to the Spirit Warriors, a twiceweekly dragon boating group. But not everyone likes water. “In Kamloops, for 10 years, that was basically the only support group there was,” Grace LaBossiere told KTW. “Not everyone wants to get into a dragon boat and paddle on the river in this weather. But there was nothing else.” It’s why the breast cancer survivor, along with fellow Spirit Warrior Biruta Groves, have started a breast cancer support group outside of the boat. The first meeting was held this — GRACE LEBOSSIERE, past Monday, breast cancer support intended for group facilitator women at any stage, from diagnosis, treatment and years after. “With a support group like this, women come when they feel they need it,” LaBossiere said. The two women were trained in Jaunary to facilitate a support group, but LaBossiere said it was difficult securing a location in which to host the group. Marcia Wilson, owner of the Yoga Loft in downtown Kamloops, stepped up, donating the space for one night each month. The first night saw more than a dozen ladies and lead to tears, laughter and stories. “You’re not going to share them with other people who don’t understand,” LaBossiere said. “There’s people who know what it’s all about. It will come when they want, they will take what they need.”
With a “support

Support group a place to share common experience From A17
LaBossiere recalls feelings associated with her own diagnosis. She said it’s scary when you don’t know what to expect and realizing a “new normal” that comes after treatment. LaBossiere has been cancer-free for 15 years, but noted a psychological side to the disease. “It is different afterwards,” LaBossiere said, “and there’s things you need to talk about and there was nobody to talk to.” She said breast cancer is different than other forms of cancer, being that many forms are estrogen-related. Hormone fluctuations come with various
adjuvant therapies after surgery. “They cut off your female hormones,” LaBossiere said. “So not only do you have to battle breast cancer or the healing after surgery, now, it doesn’t matter if you’re 25 years old or 50 years old,
you immediately have menopause. So that’s another part of it.” While doctors, nurses, the cancer ward and a cancer social worker provide support while undergoing treatment, LaBossiere said those supports end. “When you’re done
[treatment], it’s like, ‘You’re better now,’” she said. “‘OK, go.’” LaBossiere hopes to provide a place for women who share in a common experience and can provide valuable insight to one another. “People can say they understand, but they don’t,” LaBossiere said. “People around the circle do. That’s a big deal.” The Kamloops Breast Cancer Support Group will hold its next meeting on June 19. It starts at 7:15 p.m. at the Yoga Loft, 409 Seymour St. The group is open and anonymous. Nobody is required to speak. For more information, email kamloopsbcsg@gmail.com.

Welcome to Dig It, KTW’s new regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the local area will pen columns that will educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the new series will uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present. Top left: Historic air photos reveal the river is in its original channel in the 1940s. Flooding events in the area have the power to damage remains of early First Nations village sites, including bone artifacts (top right, clockwise), ochre, harpoons and arrowheads.

These flooding events also have the power to damage what remains of some of the area’s earliest First Nations village sites. Many of these early villages, which have become archeologi-
”
cal sites, were built on the very banks of the waterways that are flooding today. And they can be damaged in the same way that houses built on creek and river banks are impacted. An example of this can be seen at an archeological site north of Kamloops, on the bank of the North Thompson River just
downstream from the outlet of a large creek. This particular site is made up of nearly 20 circular depressions of varying sizes; these depressions represent what remain of the village’s original pithouse structures, as well as cache (storage) and roasting pits. What is interesting about this site in particular is that it is located across the river from an oxbow channel. When visiting, I wondered how the oxbow had formed and if that process had affected the archeological site. A review of historic air photos revealed
the river was still in its original channel in the mid-1940s and what is now the oxbow was the main channel at the time. Air photos from the 1960s, however, revealed that within the intervening 20 years, the river had pushed through the narrow strip of land and created a new river channel. Digging deeper, I learned that in the late 1940s, during a year of especially heavy rain and flooding (sound familiar?), a small local dam had given way and an enormous flood of water came rushing down the creek bed,
slamming into the river just upstream from this archeological site. This, coupled with the otherwise unusually high flood year, was the force that pushed through the skinny strip of land and created the new river channel and oxbow we see today. This event also swept away a portion of the archeological site, which appears to have stretched across the river. Adding to this, the new river channel continues to erode into the bank and the remaining cultural depressions are being lost to the annual rise and fall of
water levels. When an archeological site is damaged, even by natural processes, the unfortunate reality is the loss of cultural heritage and scientific information. So, as we continue to face ongoing episodes of heavy rain, I am concerned not only for our current villages and homes, but also for the damage done to the region’s original village sites and the history and knowledge that will be lost with the archeological sites swept away in the floods.

ean Schryver wants to get one thing straight: Skydiving isn’t as dangerous as you might believe. “It’s safer than driving,” the manager of the Kamloops Skydivers Sport Parachute Club said. “People think that we’re crazy, but we mitigate as much potential risk as we can. “It is an inherently dangerous sport, but the chances of you getting hurt skydiving, you’re more likely to be in a vehicle accident.” Schryver is hoping for an incidentfree weekend at 2965B Airport Road as Maymeet 50, the club’s 50th annual sky-
A21
diving event at Fulton Field, gets underway on Friday. Divers will be in the air from sunrise to sunset through to Sunday evening. “I would say it’s a bit of a record throughout North America and, maybe, the world,” Schryver said of the anniversary meet. “To have 50 years consecutive, run by volunteers, is a pretty amazing feat.” Maymeet started in 1967, then primarily a competition meet for divers in the Southern Interior. But as the sport trended toward divers attending provincial championships for competition, Maymeet focused more on the recreational side of skydiving. Now entering its semi-centennial anniversary, the meet is primarily a recreational get-together of divers from across Western Canada and the Northwestern
United States, though Schryver said it will also include a few competitions, Canadian record attempts and first-time dives. “There are probably almost a dozen records that we’re going to be attempting,” he said, among them the records for women’s night formation, wingsuit formation, single-engine plane dives and most jumps in a day by a woman. “There will be a little bit of everything.” Maymeet is open to all of Kamloops, with the club offering tandem dives at a discounted rate of $243 in honour of the event. The club’s diving schedule will be weather-dependant. For more information or to register, contact Schryver by phone at 250-3761213, or by email at info@skydivekamloops.com.

The City of Kamloops will spend an extra $330,000 to add another basketball court to the Tournament Capital Centre when it replaces the facility’s indoor track this summer. At its Tuesday meeting, Kamloops council voted to add the additional cash to the project’s $1.5 million budget. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell said the TCC was first designed to have two courts, plus a moveable hardwood court, which was already in use at Sandman Centre. But that court never worked in the TCC space and has shut the city out of larger basketball tournaments. The hardwood will replace an existing plastic sport court. Demolition on the TCC’s north court will begin Thursday. The fieldhouse will remain open through the work,
which will mainly be done between 7 p.m. and 3:30 a.m. A full fieldhouse closure will occur on June 27, when replacement of the full track will begin. The track replacement will be completed by Acres Enterprises, whose bid for the project was the only one the city received. Installation will run until midSeptember. The rest of the facility will remain open. Additional cash will come from the city’s community works (gas tax) fund. Initial funding for the project included a $500,000 grant from the federal government as part of its Canada 150 program and $1 million from the city’s gaming funds. Coun. Ken Christian said he hopes the upgrades will allow the city to get back some sports tournaments which have migrated to the Langley Events Centre. “Four courts is a very significant number in terms of attracting large tournaments,” he said.

“IT HAS TO END” — DAWGS STILL HAVE WOLFPACK’S NUMBER GUTSY PITCHING PERFORMANCE NOT ENOUGH FOR TRU AGAINST RIVALS IN BASEBALL FINAL ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Scott Wood doesn’t remember much from his two starts at the Canadian College Baseball Conference Championship. But as the tournament becomes more of a memory, bits and pieces start to float to the surface. Wood remembers throwing 88 pitches in a complete-game ninehitter as the Thompson Rivers WolfPack opened the tournament with a 13-2 defeat of the Fraser Valley Cascades. He remembers striking out the top hitter on the Lethbridgebased Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs, the six-time defending

champions, in the bottom of the ninth inning of the gold-medal game, the bases loaded with two outs and the score tied 2-2. And he remembers
standing behind home plate, flipping the ball to the umpire, as the Dawgs ran past him to celebrate the gamewinning run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
“I felt like I let the boys down,” Wood told KTW on Tuesday. “I know it was the 11th inning and usually pitchers don’t throw 11 innings, but I battled from the first pitch to the last pitch and it just wasn’t enough. Myself, in my mind, it was, ‘Aw, I let the boys down.’ “It doesn’t really matter how well I threw. We lost. I felt defeated.” Wood threw an astounding 139 pitches, 93 of them strikes, in the gold-medal game, which would eventually end in a 4-3 extrainnings win for the Dawgs. His performance on the mound was incredible — the 22-year-old surrendered 10 hits, two walks and three earned runs, while
striking out a pair in 10-and-two-thirds innings of work. Over the course of four days, he had thrown 227 pitches, more than double the average work for a major league pitcher. In his own words, it wasn’t enough. “It pisses me off, I’ll be honest,” Wood said. “At the end of the day, I think we should have won that game. I don’t think PBA deserved to win that game and it angers me to know that they have won it seven years in a row. “It needs to end.” The WolfPack were a different team at the CCBC championship. After winning Wood’s initial start against the Cascades,
the Pack went on to lose 11-3 to the Dawgs before winning three straight — 16-11 over the Calgary Dinos, 7-2 over the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners, both in round-robin play, and 6-2 against the host Okanagan Coyotes in semifinal action. The three-game run set the stage for the final. Wood was handed the ball on three days’ rest. “We were short pitching, so we needed somebody to step up — he did that in a big way,” said WolfPack manager Ray Chadwick. “I’ve been here for 15 years. I’ve seen a guy throw a no-hitter in the playoffs. Having said that, this is probably the best pitched game I’ve seen. “Those guys [PBA] had 10 hits and they had one ball hit hard. They had eight jam shots, or balls off the end of the bat, out of the 10. He threw the crap out of the ball and, again, gave us a chance to win. We just came up short.” It has been eight years since the WolfPack captured a CCBC crown. The club won the national championship in 2009, but with the exception of the Mariners winning a title
in 2010, it has been all Dawgs since. PBA has won 10 times since 2002, while the WolfPack just three. Still, the Wolves remain optimistic for next season. The club will return much of its roster for 2018 and will have added depth on the mound and in the bullpen. Having forced PBA to extra innings this season, the pressure is on to end Thompson Rivers’ championship drought. “I feel like we finally came together as a team,” said WolfPack shortstop Blayne Halland, one of only two players, the other outfielder Isiah McDonald, certain not to return next season. “Everyone was playing pretty damn well. “It would have been nice to get that last win, but I think everyone is motivated for next year and everyone is excited to come back.” WolfPack outfielder Ethan Mohan echoed Halland’s sentiments. “Everyone came to play. It was pretty surreal to watch,” he said. “I think everyone takes that loss hard. We had a pretty good team and I think we played a lot better baseball that day. But hey, they [PBA] came out on top, so hats off to them.”

players in 2012. She said the players later harassed her and her family until she left school the next year. The lawsuit doesn’t identify any players. The woman said she confided in her coach, who contacted Baylor’s football coach and athletic director at the time. She said nothing happened. Baylor officials said Wednesday they’d tried to reach a settlement with the woman for months. They also noted recent efforts to improve campus response to assault allegations. More than a dozen women have now sued Baylor, alleging officials for years mishandled or ignored sex assault allegations.
RAONIC TO THIRD ROUND OF 2017 ITALIAN OPEN THE CANADIAN PRESS
ROME — Canada’s Milos Raonic advanced to the third round of the Italian Open with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Germany’s Tommy Haas on Wednesday. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., used his dominant serve to dispatch Haas in a little over an hour. Raonic lost only 13 service points while firing 10 aces past the 39-yearold veteran and saving both break points he faced. Raonic, seeded fifth in Rome, will face 12thseed Tomas Berdych in third-round action Thursday. The 26-year-old Raonic has won four of his last six games against the Czech veteran, but Berdych took their last clay-court match in Monte Carlo in 2015. Raonic is 5-2 this season on clay, and advanced to his first final on this surface two weeks ago in Istanbul.

TEAMING UP TO TACKLE AUTONOMOUS CAR TECHNOLOGY
DELPHI JOINS BMW, INTEL AND MOBILEYE ; LATEST PARTNERSHIP DETROIT — Automotive parts and electronics maker Delphi Corp. has joined with BMW, Intel and Mobileye to develop the building blocks of autonomous vehicles. It’s the latest in a flurry of partnerships between automakers, tech companies, parts suppliers and ridehailing services as they race to build robotcontrolled vehicles. The companies announced Tuesday that Delphi will help to integrate autonomous driving systems. BMW, Intel and Mobileye joined forces in July of 2016. They plan to start producing automated vehicle systems by 2021, and BMW plans to have an autonomous vehicle on the road by then. It would be capable of driving itself, but a human driver could still be called on to intervene. The companies say Delphi, with U.S. operations based in suburban Detroit, already has provided a prototype computing platform
that melds sensors, artificial intelligence and other computers. The system won’t go into just BMWs, though. The companies plan to develop a system that can be used by other automakers or tech companies in their own cars. The partners will decide each company’s role in the partnership, as well as the financial arrangements, in coming months. More partners could be added to the group, including other automakers. Delphi would be in charge of integrating the system into other automakers’ vehicles. During a conference call with reporters to discuss the partnership, executives from the four companies said alliances like theirs will become more common in the future as partners try to share costs and expertise. Richard Rau, BMW AG’s vice-president of sensors, control units and software, said his company believes autonomous driving platforms will be consolidated over time as more companies
join forces. “In the long run there will be only a few platforms left,’’ he said. Delphi now produces electrical wiring architecture, computing platforms and autonomous driving software. Mobileye, of Israel, makes software that integrates cameras, radar and other sensors and offers artificial intelligence and mapping. Intel has computing hardware and data
centres and mapping that will help cars make decisions, while BMW makes autos and has its own autonomous car technology. Such partnerships seem to be announced almost every day as companies frenetically race to be first with the new technology that has the potential to reduce crashes, save lives and change how we all get around. In the past two months, auto software

and parts maker Bosch announced it was joining with Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz, to work on autonomous cars. Toyota teamed with artificial intelligence company NVIDIA and Waymo, formerly Google’s autonomous car division, partnered with ride-hailing service Lyft. In March, Intel Corp. announced it will spend more than $15 billion to acquire Mobileye NV.

Uber ordered to return files DETROIT — A federal judge’s order that bars Uber from using technology taken by a star engineer before he left Waymo is bad news for Uber and likely will hurt the ride-hailing company’s own self-driving research, according to legal experts. The ruling by District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco Monday was mainly a victory for Waymo, the autonomous car unit spun off from Google, even though the judge refused to order a halt to Uber’s autonomous car research as Waymo had requested, the experts said. Waymo showed “compelling evidence” that a former Waymo engineer named Anthony Levandowski downloaded thousands of confidential files before leaving the company, the order said. Levandowski set up his own firms, which then were sold to Uber for US $680 million. Evidence showed Levandowski and Uber planned the acquisitions before Levandowski left Waymo, Alsup’s order said. “He clearly believes that Levandowski is guilty as sin and that Uber hired him, knowing this full well,’’ said John Coffee, a Columbia University law professor who specializes in white-collar crime and corporate governance. “He is ruling that some of this information is stolen [or ‘misappropriated’] and in the long run that will likely have a devastating impact on Uber.” Waymo sued Uber in February alleging the ride-hailing company is using stolen self-driving technology to build its own autonomous cars. Monday’s ruling prevents Uber from using Waymo’s technology on a laser navigational tool called Lidar that robotic cars use to see what’s around them. Uber said in a statement Monday it is pleased the court allowed it to continue the research, including its own Lidar innovations. “We look forward to moving toward trial and continuing to demonstrate that our technology has been built independently from the ground up,’’ the statement said. The ruling will hamper Uber’s ability to develop a self-driving car more quickly than Waymo, Coffee said, but it’s too early to say if Uber will be crippled by the ruling. Also Monday, Waymo confirmed it is teaming up to test autonomous vehicles with Lyft, Uber’s ride-hailing competitor. — The Associated Press

Obituaries & In Memoriam Klara Rita Hardman It is with sorrow in our hearts that we announce the passing of Klara Rita Hardman on May 3, 2017. The daughter of immigrant parents from Riga, Latvia, Klara was born in Noranda, Quebec in 1939. At age three, Klara moved with her parents and an older sister to Surrey, BC. The family initially settled in Sullivan before moving to a small farm in Whalley. The home in Whalley is where Klara and her four sisters Betty, Alma, Velta and Zelma - ‘the Zalit girls’ - spent their formative years. At age 17, Klara met and soon married Don Hardman. Over 14 years of marriage, Klara and Don had two children Joanne and Gordon. Even after divorce Klara and Don remained lifelong friends in supporting their two children. With her marriage ended, Klara shifted her focus to establish a lengthy career in the hotel and accommodation industry. Her best years in the business were at the Dell Hotel, where Klara was an efficient presence, working hard at the front desk. After 20 plus years at the Dell, she retired in 1996. With retirement in hand, Klara moved to Kamloops to be closer to family. She loved living in Kamloops and more specifically having the opportunity to participate in her grandson Blair’s growing up. A beautiful bond of friendship developed between Klara and her grandson, a bond that remained strong to her last day. In 2008, Klara experienced the greatest loss of her life, the passing of her beautiful daughter Joanne to cancer. Klara and her daughter had a close and wonderful relationship and the loss devastated Klara immensely. In 2009, Klara herself was diagnosed with a cancer. Between three separate bouts of battling her illness, Klara continued to bravely live the life she so loved in Kamloops: participating in family, social and sporting events, browsing the local markets for the best food deals and shopping at Nature’s Fare. She loved local! Klara we will miss you and your wonderful, loving ways. The family extends a thank you to the amazing staff at the Royal Inland Hospital, the Cancer Clinic and the Overlander Palliative Care. A special thanks to Dr.’s Van Herden and Proctor! The family will host a Celebration of Life on Friday, May 26, 2017 at 10:00 am at the Avalon Surrey Funeral Home, 13288 108 Ave. Surrey, BC. To Klara’s friends in Kamloops, who are unable to attend the service in Surrey, the family extends a big thanks for being a part of her life. She so enjoyed her time living in Kamloops, but it is time for her to go home now.
Heather Erin Collingridge Heather Erin Collingridge, age 36, passed away in North Salt Lake, Utah. She was born April 21, 1980 in Yakima, Washington to Penny (Collingridge) and Dean Sperry. She attended Nor Kam Secondary and graduated in 1998. She also attended Thompson Rivers University from 2007 to 2008 in Kamloops, British Columbia. Heather was known for her heart of gold. She was a loyal friend you could count on because she would always be there for you. When Heather was a baby people often called her smiley because she always had a beautiful smile. As she grew this remained. She was full of sarcastic wit, was a good listener and was ready with a warm hug and chocolate kisses. She had great dreams and aspirations to learn and to travel. More than anything she wanted to be a Mom. She wanted to show her son the world. Heather was a wonderful caring daughter, sister, granddaughter and the best Aunty in the world. Her nieces and nephews loved her dearly and the adventures they had with her. Heather is survived by her son Bennett Nikolaus Collingridge, mom Penny Collingridge, siblings Nicole Collingridge, Shane Collingridge, James Collingridge, Melanie Pouliot, Dean Collingridge, Jason Collingridge, Carrie Collingridge, Ellie Harley and Casey Collingridge, grandparents Bill and Pepper Wolfe. She was preceded in death by her father Dean Sperry and her dad Jim Collingridge. Too soon she has left us. She is always and forever in our hearts. “Till we meet again sweetheart.”
Linda Louise Walch Linda Louise Walch, a long-time resident of Pritchard, BC, died on Monday, May 8, 2017 at Kamloops Hospice. Linda was born on May 6, 1951 in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. I met this wonderful woman that became the sun, the moon and the earth to me back in October of 1977. I think it was 1977. Linda is survived by our son Gil Walch, his wife Tanis, their daughters Jada and Reese, her brothers Dennis, Alan, Doug and Glen their families and her sisters Pat, Lorna and their families and of course me, John Enman, her heartbroken husband and partner of 40 years.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Richard John Askew It is with immense sorrow the Askew Family announces the passing of Richard John Askew. Richard is survived by his soulmate of 43 years Joannie, his brother Allan (Erin), his sister Helen, nieces Rachelle (Deneault) Best (Chris), Isabelle Askew, Dhorea Duggan and Angelica Duggan, nephews Ryan Deneault (Alana Abramson), Kurt Deneault (Angela), Henry Askew and James Askew, sisters-inlaw Elaine LaGreca and Mary Lynn Duggan. Richard was born in Kamloops, BC, happy and healthy to Mary and David Askew on October 17, 1950. He was a brilliant, multi-talented, kind and generous boy. He touched the hearts of all those who came into contact with him. At an early age, he excelled in sports and was involved in competitive ballroom dancing and figure skating. He had great success as a championship figure skater and he gained endurance and tenacity from those demanding figure skating days. His love of music and musical instruments was evident and he played bass guitar in the very successful Kamloops band “The Intruders”. Richard attended U.B.C. majoring in economics and was invited into the honors program. Later, he joined his father Dave in the hotel business. This led him to his passion; land development and property acquisition. He received great joy from seeing one of his projects come together and he owned 8 companies before his 25th birthday. With Joannie by his side, he developed waterfront property in the Shuswap, bought and managed several hotels and restaurants, worked in the oil industry and eventually went into Real Estate. He worked with Realty World, ReMax, Century 21 and finally Fair Realty in Castlegar. At Fair Realty, he and Joannie worked very hard to make their clients dreams come true whether it was their first home or their last. He was instrumental in the development of Woodland Drive Estates where Richard and Joannie made their home. He was involved in bringing business in to town and enjoyed watching Castlegar evolve into the beautiful City it is today. Richard just had a way of making everyone around him feel better. His humble kind nature and of course his dazzling smile would always greet you. He was an animal lover and a home body, he loved just being home with Joannie. He was a kind, supportive and nurturing husband and there was nothing that he wouldn’t do for his Joannie. He loved his boat and just being out on the water cruising the Arrow or Kootenay Lake. Richard was always happy being surrounded by family and friends and enjoyed visits from his sister Helen and her family and his brother Allan and his family. He also enjoyed quiet times
Through all the years his deep love for his wife Joannie was always present and he was well known for getting beautiful cards for special days and writing very romantic, some might call them mushy, but always very thoughtful words to his beloved wife. Trips to places like Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Hawaii and Florida were always made special by thoughtful gifts. Their deep love for each other survived a renovation at their home in Robson which was very challenging, as they did all the renovations themselves, but provided a beautiful home for a number of years. He was an animal lover and always had kitty cats whom he adored. When they lived in Robson their home became a magnet for all the wildlife who knew they could be assuredn that it was a safe place to visit, find something to eat or have their babies.
In Loving Memory Of June Towhey
During the past few years Richard had numerous health challenges but always worked very hard to regain his health. Joannie made sure he had the best care possible and was always researching and asking questions of his doctors. Richard passed away on May 9, 2017. He was predeceased by his father David, mother Mary, father-in-law Alfred, mother-in-law Isabelle and aunt’s uncles and cousins. A very special thank you to the first responders who worked so hard to save Richard, the doctors and nurses at Castlegar Emergency, all the doctors and nurses who were involved in his care over the years and everyone who has phoned, left messages, sent flowers or food or have showed kindnesses in so many ways. Richard would be very pleased if memorial donations were made to the Castlegar SPCA to help build their new shelter. Castlegar Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements. Please join us to Celebrate his Life from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm on May 20, 2017 at the Castlegar Complex, Selkirk room.
“I realize through it all that…..In the midst of winter, I found there was within me an invincible summer, and that makes me happy. For it seems that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me is something stronger, something better, pushing right back. – Albert Camus”

That’s how he lived his life and he will not be forgotten

at home and was a voracious reader who was interested in world news, politics and history. He was fascinated with World War II and he enjoyed having conversations with his late fatherin-law Alfred LaGreca about World War II as Alfred was a soldier that survived the first wave on D-Day and had first-hand knowledge of that time. To his nieces and nephews he was a very patient and understanding uncle who always gave them good advice.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Almo Salviati Almo Salviati passed away peacefully on May 11, 2017 in Kamloops at 89 years of age. Almo was born on August 25, 1927 in Ponte di Barbarano, Italy. In 1955, he immigrated to Canada in search of work and to start a new life. After working several jobs in BC and Alberta, he settled in Kamloops where he would marry Maria and raise a family. They always kept in touch with their distant Italian relatives with many trips, letters and phone calls. He worked in construction as a welder on many large projects that helped shape this province. He finished his welding years working for his buddy Mike at Kamco Installations, eventually retiring in 1990. Almo was an avid gardener and winemaker. He was known for his ability to make a good glass of red wine for the dinner table. Almo had a passion for fishing and always abided by the “Italian limit.” His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy; he was so proud of their many accomplishments. Almo is survived by his wife of 56 years Maria, who was always by his side, his daughter Anna (Randy), his son Robert (Maggie) and his grandchildren Tara, Lisa, Sam, Dylan, Janna and Alysha. The family wishes to send a heartfelt thank you to friends, neighbors and extended family, particularly Antonia, Leonard and Florriann.

Gordon Gerald Gascon June 9, 1961 - May 11, 2017
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our loved one. Gord was born in Lac La Biche, Alberta and remained in Alberta until the Gascon family moved to Kamloops, BC in February 1973. Gordon graduated from Nor Kam Secondary in 1979 and then became a certified plumber and gasfitter. He was a hardworking man and dedicated to his profession. When not working he could be found camping with his friends and family. His greatest passions included rock ‘n roll music and sports. Gordy was always the life of the party and always had those around him laughing. His two proudest moments were the days his children were brought into this world. He is survived by his daughter Rochelle Gascon, his mother Arlene Gascon, his sisters Linda (Dave) Maartman and Donna Gascon (Mike Malm), his brother Allen Gascon, his nieces Tana (Colton) Hunt and Janel Maartman and nephews Jerrid (Kelsey) Robinson, Taylor Robinson (Kylie Tilbury) and Bryce Maartman (Erika Spijksma), his great nieces Adria Hunt and Norah Robinson and great nephew Ezra Robinson and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Gord was predeceased by his son Jesse Gordon Gerald Gascon (1994) and his father Gerald Norman Gascon (2015). Gord made friends easily and kept them for life. He was loved by all who knew him and will forever be remembered for the loving, outgoing and generous man that he was.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
