hen John Stark looks out on the fenced-in compound, he doesn’t see 2.7 acres of trees, pools, boulders

and shrubs.

He sees a palace.

“I call it the BearMahal,” the B.C. Wildlife Park business and development manager said.

“There’s the Taj Mahal. Well, this is the

Bear-Mahal because it’s an amazing thing.”

Visitors to the park will get a look at the enclosure’s rare resident who made it all happen.

Clover the Kermode made his debut over

the Victoria Day long weekend.

The blond black bear, rare in the wild and the only one of its kind in captivity, came to the park three years ago, but has been mostly out of view

as a special $800,000 enclosure was built to house him.

Stark said the wildlife park plans to eventually put its other three black bears into the new habitat as well, but the pro-

cess will be slow and lengthy.

For now, Clover is living without roommates.

On a visit to the park earlier this month, KTW was able to catch a glimpse of the Kermode, also known as a Spirit Bear, as he lounged in the concrete denning area at the edge of the public viewing pen.

A small cub when he first arrived, Clover is now a whopping 330 pounds — so big, Stark said, that even his keepers were surprised when they weighed him during his transfer to his new home last week.

Stark said the bear is being introduced to the new area slowly, but should be roaming his new home freely soon enough.

“What they want to make sure is, when he goes out into this large, 2.7-acre area, which I’ve never seen anything like in the world, he might just stay out here for a while and not want to come back in,” Stark said.

“So, he’s really got to know where he’s going to be fed all the time.”

The new habitat is still a work in progress.

While Clover’s portion is ready to go, along with a viewing platform for the public, only phase one of the project is complete.

Phase two will include a second wheelchair-accessible viewing platform on the other side of Clover’s enclosure, where the second of two pools connected by a stream is installed, along with several shady spots for the bear to escape the summer sun.

The water features will be spots to watch as Clover settles in.

“He loves his water,” Stark said.

Also in the works is an interpretive cen-

tre explaining Spirit Bears.

The bruins are culturally significant for First Nations people on the central and north coast of the province, the only place Kermodes are found.

They are also B.C.’s provincial mammal and illegal to kill.

It’s that fact that saved Clover.

Orphaned as a cub, Clover became habituated to humans and previous attempts to relocate him away from people failed.

While a normal black bear would have been put down as a pest, he was sent to Kamloops.

The move wasn’t without controversy.

Animal-rights group Lifeforce set up a petition demanding the bear be freed, which attracted national media attention — but only about 900 signatures.

Stark said it’s been some time now since the park has heard from Lifeforce.

“I give it to Glenn [Grant, general manager of the park],” Stark said.

“He’s done such a good job of getting the message out there of why the bear’s here.

“It was without a doubt the best thing for the bear.

“The bear would probably not have survived.

“Probably somebody would have ended up shooting it — which is totally against the law in British Columbia, but they’d say, ‘Oh, he was attacking me. He was in my yard ripping my garbage apart’.”

Today, Clover is attracting international attention for different reasons.

More than 25 busloads of Californian tourists will stop overnight in Kamloops this summer, hoping for a glimpse of the unusual bear.

DESTINATION KAMLOOPS Clover, a rare Kermode bear, had his coming-out party at the B.C. Wildlife Park over the Victoria Day long weekend. The Spirit Bear moved into his new home, a 2.7-acre habitat at the south end of the park. Clover will act as an ambassador for his species. He arrived at the park in 2012 after being unsuccessful with a rehabilitation and release program. He is believed to be the only one of his kind in professional human care anywhere in the world.

KAMLOOPS WINERIES ASSOCIATION PHOTO The vineyards at Monte Creek Ranch

KAMLOOPS IS HOME TO B.C.’S NEWEST EMERGING WINE REGION

W

hile the Kamloops wine industry has been growing for the last several years, it’s only recently that a brand has begun to develop for the region as a whole.

The Kamloops Wineries Association was created in fall of 2014, a partnership between the four local wineries — Harper’s Trail Winery, Sagewood Winery, Privato Vineyard and Winery and Monte Creek Ranch — and spearheaded by industry veteran director Trish Morelli.

The not-for-profit association is working to collectively market and promote the emerging wine region in the Thompson Valley and launch the Kamloops wine trail brand.

The B.C. wine industry generates $2 billion for the province and $476 million in tourism and tourism-related businesses, with $180 million generated in revenue from B.C. wine tourism.

“Those kind of economic impact numbers are what is staggering really, so to bring some of that home to Kamloops is a real benefit,” said Morelli, who has marketed B.C. wines for 25 years.

“It’s just time for us to get together as a group and collectively market the Kamloops wine region, give the region a bigger voice and put Kamloops on the B.C. wine map.”

Many people, even within the

industry, are unaware Kamloops is home to wineries, Morelli said.

Sagewood winery forged the path for grape-growing locally when it planted vineyards in 2005 and farms the oldest vineyards in the region.

Harper’s Trail followed suit in 2008, but was the first to make the investment to build an operating winery and tasting room.

Privato was the second to establish itself as an operating winery and harvested its first crush in 2010.

Monte Creek, the newest Kamloops winery, released its first vintage this year and will officially open its tasting room this summer.

The biggest misconception, owners agree, is that Kamloops isn’t suitable for winemaking because of the climate.

“I can remember back when winters were a lot cooler and a lot of the varieties we grow now wouldn’t have survived the winters we used to have. With climate change, things are changing here,” said Doug Wood, owner and winemaker at Sagewood Winery and longtime Kamloops resident.

Kamloops is ranked third in Canada for most growing-degree days, 166, and 2,000 hours of sunshine. With average 30-degree summer temperatures, warm days and cooler nights promote balance in the wines. The region is experiencing increasingly milder winters, although early frosts, like the one experienced in fall of 2014, can still

damage vines.

Erik Fisher, general manager at Monte Creek, said ripening is not a big concern because of the favourable heat units, but they plant vines suitable for winter hardiness.

Monte Creek is the only winery in town growing five unique varieties developed at the University of Minnesota and engineered to withstand winter temperatures down to -35C. “We like to think that once we prove their effectiveness that others will follow, especially in these kind of cool climate regions,” Fisher said, noting that Kelowna and anywhere north can be considered cool-climate viticulture.

Overall, there are parallels between the Okanagan and the Thompson Valley. Although Kamloops lacks the large moderating lake, the river helps create airflow and provides a bit of moderation, Fisher said.

Active airflows through the Thomspon Valley help regulate temperatures in the vineyards and reduce moisture on vines.

“If we have an early frost, they have the same cold snap in the Okanagan as well,” said Debbie Woodward, co-owner of Privato.

“We may get one or two degrees colder, but it’s not a whole lot different.

“People think it is, but it really isn’t.”

Kamloops shares similar heat units to Burgundy, France, Morelli and Woodward both noted. The

average heat accumulation, which is used to compare regions and vine-growing conditions, is referred to as growing degree days.

The degree day average in the Kamloops region is 1,280, while the Dijon, Burgundy area of France is 1,279.

Built on a bed of limestone, volcanic rock and clay, soils range from loam — a clay, silt and sand combination — to dominantly gravel.

According to the association, such soils offer good drainage, which controls moisture levels.

The cool climate wines are high in brightness, acidity and balance, most like wines from Alsace and Bergundy. Dominant grape plantings include pinot noir, cab franc, marechal foch and gamay noir for the reds. Among the dominant white grapes are chardonnay, riesling, pinot gris, gewürztraminer, kerner and marquette.

Morelli said much of the marketing will be dedicated to promoting the Kamloops “terroir,” a sense of place for a wine, referring to the overall geography, climate and conditions of the wine-growing region.

They will launch the public brand “The Kamloops wine trail” as an authentic and relaxed experience, free from the hustle and bustle, pomp and pretense of other regions.

“I think what is going to be neat is that intimate hands on experience,” Morelli said.

“Sitting with the owner and the winemaker is going to be more of the norm than the exception.”

“There is a sense of more wildness to it all. Sitting at the winery, overlooking the river and seeing the bighorn sheep and the cattle walking around the gates of the vineyard, it has a real sense of natural beauty — the wine trail less travelled.”

The Kamloops Wineries Association will be rolling out billboard advertising, a wine trail map and brochure this summer, as well as beginning to lobby the government to get wine trail signage erected. The official launch will kick off June 22, with open houses at all the wineries on Saturday, June 27. The website, kamloopswinetrail.ca will also go live that week.

There are two touring companies in town: Tasteful Excursions and Divine Tours.

The association is working closely with several Kamloops’ hotels to offer touring packages.

They are looking to develop the trail as a destination activity, bringing tourists into the city, where they can also experience the rest of what Kamloops has to offer.
