Lifeguards Cera Wright and Ivy Porter remove a waterlogged piece of driftwood from the swimming area of Riverside Park.

As Cera Wright and Ivy Porter pulled a 10-foot piece of driftwood from Riverside Park’s swimming area on a Saturday afternoon, beach-goers were reminded it’s a different world swimming in the South Thompson River.

“There’s a lot more hazards here,” Wright told KTW. Driftwood aside, she noted there’s one danger that stands out: “We face the current.”

Wright and Porter, lifeguards with the Riverside Park Lifeguard Service, were at the start of their first Saturday shift in Riverside when they spoke with KTW. The City of Kamloops’ lifeguard service monitors the beach daily from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.,

weather permitting.

For both Wright and Porter, 2015 is their first year lifeguarding at the downtown swimming area.

Working outdoors in the Kamloops summer certainly has its perks, Wright noted, but dealing with drop-offs and currents, sandbars and floating debris also adds to the stress that comes with monitoring the beachside swimming area.

And, those are just the hazards in the water.

“Someone could be lying on the beach, tanning, but be passed out,” Wright said, noting the city’s lifeguards also monitor those on the sand for heat-related illnesses like heat stroke.

Pools are controlled environments, where lifeguards can see to the bottom, the water doesn’t fight back and swimmers remain in a contained area.

On a regular day, a lifeguard at the Tournament Capital Centre’s Canada Games Pool might perform minor first-aid or help a young swimmer who has gone too far into the deep end.

This summer, they have also been first responders during a pair of rescues for swimmers in medical distress.

The latest save came on Wednesday, when an elderly man had a medical incident unrelated to swimming, said Heidi Ogilvie, the city’s aquatics programs supervisor.

“The lifeguards were quick on the draw and rescued him and sent him off to Royal Inland Hospital,

where he’s being treated,” she said.

On June 18, lifeguards at the pool rescued a woman experiencing medical distress, again not related to swimming.

Ogilvie praised staff involved in both incidents for immediately recognizing what needed to be done.

“It was absolutely incredible,” she said. “They are such a highly professional team and I am so proud to be their supervisor.”

Medical issues at the pool are relatively rare, Ogilvie said, usually occurring a year or more apart.

Guarding in the river, on the other hand, requires lifeguards to make extra considerations should they need to jump in and save a swimmer.

“Even when we guard, we’re going to run upstream and swim on an angle,” Porter said.

“We’re going to be dealing with the current, too, and we’re going to be tired.”

Despite the added hazards river swimming might bring, the Riverside Park Lifeguard Service is on hand to ensure swimmers remain safe as they enjoy the water in the sweltering heat of Kamloops’ summers.

So, even though it would give her more people to look after, Porter would rather see everyone enjoying the water in the roped-off area along the South Thompson.

At least there, there’s help if need be.

“It’s a lot safer to swim in,” she said.

Weekly Traffic Update Overlanders Bridge

Plants in the landscape are constantly defending themselves from enemies. Pests prefer plants that are stressed and one of the most common causes is improper watering. Proper watering for your landscape will depend on soil type, weather, location, wind exposure, and type of plants.

Lawns: Water your lawn deeply and thoroughly, but infrequently. This means watering about one to two days per week to a depth of 2.5 cm (1”). An empty tuna can is approximately 2.5 cm deep. Place several cans at different distances from your sprinkler and time how long it takes to fill the can. Water this length of time once or twice per week during the summer. Reduce this time by up to half in the spring and fall.

To determine when to water for your lawn, step on your grass. If it readily bounces back, no watering is required. If it takes awhile to recover, it’s time to water, and if it lies flat, then you’ve waited too long.

Landscape beds: To determine when to water for your landscape beds, squeeze a handful of soil. If it forms a ball and is slick, then there is no need to water. If it forms a crumbly ball, then it is time to irrigate, and if it is too dry to form a ball, then you’ve waited too long.

Crews will continue to install deck joints on the west side of the bridge. This will involve pouring concrete. In an effort to minimize the vibration on the bridge and the impact on the concrete pour, motorists are reminded of the 30 km/hr posted speed limit through the construction zone. Please be advised that pilot vehicles will be on stand by and will be used to enforce the 30 km/hr speed limit if needed.

A minimum of two travel lanes on the bridge deck will remain open (one each direction).

The Fortune Dr sidewalk is now re-opened to pedestrians. However, the asphalt pedestrian ramp connecting Fortune Dr to Tranquille Rd will remain closed to pedestrians until further notice.

Due to the current high temperatures, construction crews will be working mainly between the hours of 3 am - 2 pm, Mon Sat. Columbia Street A minimum of two travel lanes on Columbia Street between 3rd Ave & 6th Ave will remain open (one each direction).

Work continues on the south side of Columbia Street. Pedestrians are advised to use the north sidewalk and to use the crosswalk at 4th Avenue to access the south side businesses, or the crosswalk at 3rd Avenue to access the hospital.

Water Restrictions from May 1st to August 31st.

Restrictions: Even numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on even numbered days.

Odd numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on odd numbered days.

Where a complex uses internal addresses or other identifying numbers, the internal numbers will be used to establish the appropriate watering day.

Sprinkling and irrigating are not allowed between the hours of 11:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Sprinkling and irrigating between the hours of midnight and 6:00 am are restricted to automatic irrigation systems or sprinklers controlled by a timer and must comply with Even & Odd Days for watering.

NSBIA weighs in on cosmetic pesticide debate ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With less than a week before council revisits the issue, Kamloops’ North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) is raising red flags about a proposed ban on the use of cosmetic pesticides.

NSBIA general manager Steven Puhallo said members of the association’s board are concerned a ban will lead to lost jobs and closed businesses.

Council is set to address the issue on Tuesday after tabling it in late May to allow members of the community to weigh in.

Coun. Tina Lange proposed the ban on behalf of the city’s urban agriculture committee.

The ban would apply to ornamental plants, including shrubs, flowers and lawns, on residential properties, but not vegetable gardens or fruit trees.

Puhallo said the NSBIA does have some

“

It takes the ability of the regulated and trained professionals to make money that way, and that can be more harmful than the current standard.

”

— STEVEN PUHALLO, NSBIA GENERAL MANAGER

lawn-care companies in its membership, but has also been talking to other businesses throughout Kamloops who are alarmed by the proposed ban.

His organization’s concerns are similar to those raised by lawn care companies that have spoken at council meetings — that, because cosmetic pesticides will still be available on store shelves, residents who want weed-free lawns will take matters into their own hands rather than calling professionals for applications.

“It takes the ability of the regulated and trained professionals to make money that way, and that can be more

harmful than the current standard,” Puhallo said.

Under the city’s existing bylaws, residents can apply pesticides to lawns, but must have a licensed applicator do so and must post signage alerting others the products have been used.

Puhallo called that a better approach.

“This is something that both myself and our board of directors had a lot of concerns about,” he said.

“As a society, we’ve come to accept that there has to be a balance between environmental concerns and commercial priorities.

The current bylaw, as it stands, we believe

allows for a balance between these two.”

Puhallo also questioned how the bylaw would be enforced.

In an earlier interview, bylaw services supervisor John Ramsay told KTW that bylaw officers have mostly focused on ensuring signage is posted correctly under current bylaws — 24 hours before application and for 48 hours afterward — rather than cases where someone has sprayed the products on their own.

“For us to get involved, it tends to be after the fact when someone’s already sprayed, and for us to determine whether or not it was pesticide use is very hard,” he said.

“I do recall I’ve talked to a couple people about it, but it’s not one of the big ones that we manage.”

The city doesn’t receive many complaints about its current ban — Ramsay said his recollection is fewer than five per year.

He wasn’t aware of any tickets given out for

violating the existing bylaw.

“Usually we talk about compliance and things like that,”

Last term, Coun.

Donovan Cavers proposed a similar ban, which failed on a 5-4 vote.

Ramsay said.

This isn’t the first time the pesticide debate has come to council.

‘It’s a very big concern’ School district looking at spending big money to combat swatting TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

L

ast week, a North Kamloops neighbourhood was locked down by heavily armed police officers — many of whom looked like they were going to war.

They were responding to a report of a shooting at a home in Brocklehurst and involved in what appeared to be a standoff.

After more than two hours, the RCMP’s emergency-response team entered the Lethbridge Avenue home and found that the shooting call was a hoax.

Swatting is the practice of reporting false emergencies to police in order to draw a big response — often involving tactical members, hence the name. It is usually done by way of computergenerated 911 calls or calls

from blocked or untraceable numbers.

In the past, targets have included celebrities like Iggy Azalea and Justin Bieber.

More recently, gamers have taken to swatting one another and watching the chaos play out via online streaming services.

Lately, it seems, swatting has been on the rise in B.C. — Kamloops included.

“It was quite a heavy drain on our resources,” Kamloops RCMP Const.

Jason Epp said of the July 2 hoax 911 call, which came from an untraceable number.

“Because of the seriousness of the call, we sent every resource available.”

Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Karl deBruijn said the issue also raises major concerns for educators.

Over a one-week period in April, three Kamloops schools were the targets of swatting calls.

“It’s a very big concern,”

deBruijn said.

“There are serious issues when you start having children frightened and concerned and staff frightened and concerned and parents frightened and concerned.

“It undermines the sense of safety and security that people have in schools, and for their children when they’re in the schools.

“There’s loss of instructional time and loss of employee productivity.

Then there’s the RCMP, the emergency responders. And, there’s always the potential for an accident.”

DeBruijn also made a boy-who-cried-wolf argument.

“When we have a real problem, there’s the chance people could just think it’s a hoax or it’s swatting,” he said.

“Then you have a real tragedy that occurs.”

DeBruijn said he was pleased with how students and staff responded to the district’s swatting calls —

one at Summit elementary on April 15 and one each at David Thompson elementary and Westsyde secondary on April 22.

“We’ve gone over our procedures and we think they’re pretty good, but we’re stymied a bit,” he said, noting other B.C. superintendents have shared similar concerns.

“The impact for them has been very much similar to the impact for us and they’re equally challenged.”

DeBruijn said district officials are in the process of looking into expensive upgrades to its telephone system to help thwart swatters.

“We’re looking at spending a significant amount of money to change our system so it blocks these kind of digital or blocked calls,” he said.

“I haven’t got an exact figure, but we’re probably looking at $75,000 to $100,000.

“It’s really tough to

Jail sentence for B.C. swatter THE CANADIAN PRESS

PORT COQUITLAM — A British Columbia teenager was sentenced yesterday to 16 months in jail for online pranks and threats that caused mayhem in communities as far away as Ontario, California and Florida.

The 17-year-old boy pleaded guilty to 23 charges, including criminal harassment, extortion and public mischief.

A provincial court judge in Port Coquitlam also sentenced him to eight months of supervision but, when time served is tallied, the boy could be out of jail by early next year.

The teen, who can’t be named because of his age, has also been banned from using the Internet.

Court heard the targets were mainly women playing video games online but that in one case the teen’s hoax prompted a bomb squad to respond in California.

The trial of an Ottawa teenager on similar charges began earlier this year.

The 17-year-old originally faced 60 charges, including causing mischief and conveying false information with intent to alarm, but the Crown said it is only pursuing 34 counts as authorities in Florida are going to mount their own case.

The allegations included incidents in California, Florida, Quebec and Ontario.

Man faces charges after allegedly beating woman

Eureka! They want your recyclables

Mounties were called at about 8 p.m. to investigate a report of a domestic disturbance.

Edinger said the man drove away from Tobiano eastbound on Highway 1 and fled

from police when an officer tried to stop the vehicle. The man was eventually found and arrested in the Lac Le Jeune area after Mounties employed the Air 4 RCMP helicopter and a tracking dog.

AD# 44324 SIZE: CUSTOM (11 X 15) MARKETS: BC - KTW

As employees at the City of Kamloops’ recycling contractor continue to walk the picket line, the Eureka science program at Thompson Rivers University wants your recyclables.

Eureka uses various recyclables in its summer camps and is willing to take some off the hands of residents who, for the past two weeks, have not had material picked up.

Items Eureka could use include egg cartons, water bottles, cardboard (cereal boxes, etc.), toilet paper/paper-towel rolls, milk cartons and yogurt containers.

Eureka has no use for glass containers and tins.

Residents can drop off materials in room S230A or S212 in the Science Building at TRU. The Eureka science program can be found online at tru. ca/forms/eureka/ contact/index.php.

The City of Kamloops has a contract with Emterra Environmental that sees the city collect recyclables from homes and businesses and deliver the material to Emterra’s Valleyview plant, where it is sorted and shipped elsewhere.

Emterra’s 10 unionized employees have been on strike since June 22, with the union citing wages as the issue.

Due to the strike, the city has suspended curbside collection of recyclables and has directed residents and business owners to either store the material until the labour dispute ends or take it to one of three private depots in town — Lorne Street Bottle Depot and two General Grants locations.

However, General Grants has said it does not have the ability to accept large volumes of recyclables.

A man faces numerous charges after allegedly beating up a woman near the Tobiano boat launch on Wednesday night before fleeing from police in a vehicle.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The lifeguards at the Tournament Capital Centre’s Canada Games Pool, who twice within the past three weeks helped save patrons at the facility.

A man and a woman both suffered medical distress unrelated to swimming and the city lifeguards stepped up to help as first responders.

“It was absolutely incredible,” Heidi Ogilvie, the city’s aquatics programs supervisor, told KTW. “They are such a highly professional team and I am so proud to be their supervisor.”

Lifeguards doing life-saving work — kudos to our aquatic heroes.

NOT: The prices at the pump.

A year ago, the price of a barrel of oil was around $100, double where it stands today.

Yet, the price per litre in Kamloops suddenly spiked to $1.25 this week, which is where it was last year when the price of a barrel was double the cost of today.

When pump prices shot up to $1.50 per litre a few years ago, oil companies and analysts tied the rising cost to sky-high per barrel prices. When the per litre price rises while per barrel prices remain low, they find myriad other reasons, other than the obvious — gouging.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The provincial government, for establishing a $100,000 fund to promote female participation in soccer, to carry on the interest generated by the recent World Cup games that set new attendance records at BC Place Stadium.

Community workshops will be held around the province this fall, with speeches by Canadian soccer personalities and free workshops to develop more coaches, officials and volunteers.

Preparing for the ice age

F

or two bucks, you can see the future.

And, if you toss down your loonie, grab a sweater because it might be bone-chilling cold — notwithstanding the fact the entire globe has today become a furnace that appears to no longer need any fuel, aside from mankind’s continuing contribution to a perpetual Earth sauna.

(Cue the climate-change deniers and their letters of objection — if they can seal an envelope in neverending 35+ C heat).

It wasn’t long ago, perhaps a generation and a bit, that thoughts of the future (which is the here and now) included predictions of another ice age.

Such predictions — and many others that have kept me up beyond the witching hour — are contained in The Book of Predictions, a tome I used to read voraciously in my youth and which I found for $2 at a recent used book sale.

At the time, perusing the predictions was fascinating and exciting as the year 2000 was a mesmerizing, Jetsons-like future in my mind.

Today, reading predictions made back in 1980 is as entertaining, if not more so, as we are able to see how wrong the experts were.

Consider the ice-age thoughts.

In the book, there are a few dire warnings of the cold to come.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Goodman — who a generation

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS ago lectured on archeology, geology and, ahem, parapsychology — between 1993 and 2030, we will see “sudden ice buildups at both poles and accelerated movement toward a new ice age.”

So, despite the record temperatures and unprecedented drought-related water-use restrictions in the rainforest of southwest B.C., we still have 15 years to stock up on sweaters.

Author Nigel Calder also foresaw a gigantic growth in glaciers, asserting that by 2000, “the much-advertised heating of the earth by the manmade carbondioxide ‘greenhouse’ fails to occur; instead, there is renewed concern about cooling and an impending ice age.”

In fact, Calder predicted, 15 nations will be “obliterated by ice sheets” before 2080.

No. 2 on that list? Canada.

On the positive side, that bit of news may, possibly, mean an end to water meters in Kamloops, though city hall will likely find a way to charge us by the iceberg.

Former Arizona state senator Dan Halacy was also warning of an ice age back in the era of the Cold War. “By 2030, in spite of the much-feared ‘greenhouse’ heating effect predicted to raise Earth’s average temperature, everyone not living in the tropics will be painfully aware that we are moving into another ice age.”

Then again, in 1992, Halacy published a book, Cooking with the Sun: How to Build and Use Solar Cookers, that would not seem to be required reading as we run from expanding glaciers.

It’s not hard to see such predictions have not — and will not — come to fruition.

No complex data is need to arrive at that conclusion.

All I needed was a photo last week showing KTW reporter Jessica Wallace’s shoes partially melted into North Kamloops pavement while covering a story and having to stand too long in the searing heat.

When lady loafers become one with the road, the sticky situation is about more than a one-off heat wave.

At this point, as we deal with record-setting temperatures and hazy skies from hundreds of forest fires and dwindling water supplies and killer ice caves collapsing on dormant volcanoes in the shadow of Vancouver, I predict an ice age would be quite welcome among the sweatdrenched masses.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

YOUR THOUGHTS AS STRIKE NEARS WEEK 4 Editor: From the Emterra Environmental website: “As a Canadian waste-management innovator, we offer customers the benefits of belonging to a nationwide commodity selling group powerhouse that consistently earns higher revenues and maintains stable markets even in economic downturns.”

Does Emterra maintain its higher revenues by underpaying labourers?

Is Emterra a beneficiary of the recycling fees we have to pay?

People shouldn’t be getting on the city’s case about this strike when it looks as though Emterra can afford to pay workers better.

If Emterra is being subsidized by the provincial government, that is where our ire should be directed.

S. Bonner Kamloops Editor: Regarding the strike at Emterrra Environmental: Now that the labour dispute is nearing the end of its third week, perhaps the city should consider penalizing Emterra a daily fine until the strike is over.

They do have a contract?

As a taxpayer, I am paying for a service I am not getting. Maybe Mayor Peter Milobar and council should act and take a stand.

I would hedge a bet that if the

city did that, the strike would come to an end pretty quickly.

Emterra is collecting taxpayers’ money and not paying wages.

And, no, I am not a collectivebargaining member.

James Lahey Kamloops Editor: I just attended a barbecue this week, hosted by the striking workers at the Emterra recycling plant in Valleyview.

One of the messages brought home to me by the speakers was that we should be stockpiling our recyclables during the strike, rather than throwing them out with the garbage.

We should do so for a

number of reasons.

Primarily, we will want to eventually recycle whatever we have stockpiled.

Secondly, we do not want things that can be recycled to end up in a landfill, contributing to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Finally, the workers on strike at Emterra will, hopefully, be back to work.

When they are, they will get the benefit of being paid to work with our recyclables.

Hopefully, the strike will not be long-lived. In the meantime, we can continue to do our part to help improve the environment.

KGHM AJAX HAS THUS FAR PLAYED BY ALL THE RULES Editor: I am writing as a proponent for the Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen should the environmental assessment meet with approval.

I shall remain a proponent for Ajax if the assessment declares the mine safe to proceed.

After all, why would anyone put the cart before the horse?

Even common sense says you wouldn’t put together a thousand-piece puzzle without first knowing you had all the pieces.

We don’t have them regarding the proposed mine.

Not even mine proponent KGHM Ajax has been told anything regarding approval.

I welcome any new business seeking to invest in Kamloops and add to our economy.

Who wouldn’t?

As far as I can tell, KGHM Ajax has been playing by all of the province’s environmental rules and will await a decision once it submits its application later this year.

Obviously it’s a thorough process, which even those opposed must certainly have now come to appreciate.

The environmental-assessment process

I welcome any “new business

seeking to invest in Kamloops and add to our economy.

”

has not been fast-tracked.

KGHM Ajax continues to play by our environmental rules, but did anyone notice that, when the company bought Sugarloaf Ranch, it was a good corporate citizen to Kamloops and kept everyone at the ranch fully employed?

The company respected our local cultural heritage, cattle and ranching.

If these things are indicators of good will to come, then I remain a proponent for the proposed Ajax mine to re-open in Kamloops, subject to the ongoing and lengthy environmental assessment.

MLA Stone pledges relief for craft brewers CAM FORTEMS

Beer drinkers and brewers alike are crying in their suds over price hikes by the B.C. Liberal government.

However, KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone pledged yesterday that government will bring swift changes to help struggling small brewers.

The province quietly brought in changes in June that saw prices for craft beer increase by about 10 per cent in many cases.

“Our sales have

dropped,” said David Beardsell, who last year opened Red Collar Brewing on Lansdowne Street in downtown Kamloops.

“We haven’t lost clients, but our sales have dropped.”

The increases come despite promises by Attorney General Susan Anton — who called predictions prices would go up “beermongering” — that drinkers would not pay more under the changes to the way liquor is sold in this province.

Prices for so-called “macro” beer, includ-

ing Coors Light and Budweiser, have remained the same or decreased.

Michael Lewis, owner and brewmaster of Three Ranges Brewing in Valemount, said the changes have boosted the price of his premium product to nearly $15 in private stores where it is sold.

“I’m the highestpriced six-pack in the store,” he said. “They’re pushing me higher up and out.”

In some cases, Lewis said, he’s had to make up the difference himself, squeezing already

Thanks to him, we have made new friends, re-connected with old ones and remembered what joy there is to just be silly and play.

Cooler and wetter conditions forecast by this weekend for much of the province may bring some relief for those fighting wildfires and suffering from drought conditions gripping B.C. There are nearly double the number of forest fires burning compared to the average, lighting about 230,000 hectares. Conditions are resulting in water restrictions and smoky sky advisories.

Additional firefighters were brought in from Ontario yesterday, along with air tankers.

The province is using 600 contracted firefighters and has requested assistance from as far away as Australia.

Victoria has also contracted to use the massive Martin Mars water bomber stationed in Port Alberni that has been dormant for several years.

a year with plummeting sales and reduced shelf space at private stores due to the hikes.

Lewis said he just made an investment in a new canning line — at a time when government changes make selling beer in cans the least profitable part of his operation.

While Stone promised changes, he did not say craft beer drinkers will see shelf prices come back down.

“It’s really early to tell if it’s made an impact on consumers’ decisions,” he said, stressing government is only now getting a first look on sales data.

That aircraft is restricted to areas near the largest water bodies, Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson told reporters in a conference call.

Provincial fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said an average of 25 to 30 new fires are expected to start daily while hot and dry conditions persist.

But, the weekend is expected to bring cooler weather with some precipitation.

In Kamloops, showers and lightning are expected today, along with some cloud, with temperatures dropping to about 30 C on the weekend.

Showers are forecast for Monday.

The largest fire in the Kamloops Fire Centre, near Lytton, is close to 100 per cent contained.

Stone countered that relief is on the way.

“I can assure craft brewers inside and outside of Kamloops that government’s intention is to fix this,” Stone said.

Kamloops is home to Red Collar as well as a production line for Whistler Brewing.

Stone said he met yesterday morning with Premier Christy Clark and Anton and received assurances “these issues are going to be fixed.”

Beardsell and Lewis said changes can’t come soon enough.

An analysis by the B.C. NDP found 74 beer prices increased, many by more than 10 per cent, In his case, Lewis said, the cost of a Three Ranges Brewing six pack is 75 cents higher — all flowing right to Victoria’s bottom line.

Stone said he has met with small brewers and acknowledges the problems.

John Yap, the minister responsible for the liquor review, is meeting with craft brewers.

Kamloops firefighters are urging smokers to be cautious given the fact smoking-related blazes have caused more than $1 million in property damage so far this year.

Kamloops Fire Rescue investigator Sheldon Guertin said the most recent fire attributable to smoking was a small blaze in Brocklehurst on Saturday.

The cause of a Sahali apartment fire on Sunday has gone down as undetermined, but Guertin said it started in a planter on a balcony — something that is often the case with smoking-related fires. “Based on how

Of that, almost $1.1-million comes from three smoking-related fires in Kamloops.

Guertin said smokers need to be careful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoke outside,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a noncombustible ashtray and make sure that ashtray is resting on something sturdy.

CANADIAN MOUNTAIN BIKE DOWNHILL CHAMPIONSHIPS RETURN TO SUN PEAKS

SUN PEAKS RESORT PHOTO

The trails have been groomed at Sun Peaks Resort, with the Canadian Mountain Bike Downhill Championships set to take over the bike park. The finals will be held on Sunday.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

un Peaks Resort is known nationwide for its mountainbiking prowess and the best in the country will head up Tod Mountain Road this weekend for the Canadian Mountain Bike Downhill Championships.

“It’s a world-class facility, so we can put on an event that’s pretty similar to the World Cup stage,” event organizer Henry Pejril said.

“For this level of race, you need a fairly technical course, so there have been changes made leading up to the event.

“You have to test the skill of the riders. It can’t just be who can let the brakes go and go down the track the fastest.”

National champions in elite and juniorexpert categories will be decided on Sunday, when riders hit the trails from 12:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

There is only about a one-minute gap between riders starting their runs down the mountain, so action comes fast and furious all day.

The event, which doubles as a B.C. Cup race, is one of a few in Canada that is internationally sanctioned, meaning Union Cyclist International (UCI) points are on the line.

Elite riders need to amass UCI points to be considered for selection to the national team.

Racing will be open to the public this

weekend, with event passes available to anyone who wants to try out the course and test their time against the nation’s best.

On-site registration will be available today and tomorrow beginning at 9 a.m. each day.

Training and seeding runs will be held all day tomorrow. Spectators are invited to watch the action all weekend.

“You can take the chairlift up and hike down to just about any part of the course you want and there are a lot of sections on the course that are pretty exciting to watch,” Pejril said.

“People have their favourites, stake themselves out and have a bit of a picnic.”

Sun Peaks hosted nationals last year and they will be staged again in the resort’s bike park in 2016.

The resort has made an effort in recent years to make its bike park more manageable to the average rider, having garnered a reputation of being on the higher end of the difficulty scale.

Course designer Tony Nordee and Sun Peaks mountain-bike park co-ordinator James Jeffries have been working hard to alter the course for nationals, making sure it provides a stiff challenge for the country’s best.

“That’s been the challenge,” Pejril said.

“Being a bike park, it’s hard to have a dedicated downhill course, so you have to stretch together sections of the bike park itself.

“We’ve modified it quite a bit from last year.”

Resort brass enjoys the national exposure it receives when it hosts the Canadian championships — and the riders seem to enjoy the mountain.

“It’s a bit of a festival atmosphere up here,” said Pejril, who has been organizing mountain-bike races at Sun Peaks since 1996.

“In the cycling world, Sun Peaks is pretty important and this is an important stop on the circuit.”

Learning the ropes on Shumway ADAPTIVE WATER-SKI CLINIC STARTS TOMORROW

The Kiwanis Club of Kamloops would like to thank the sponsors and all the people in Kamloops and area who bought tickets for the Canada Day Raffle.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tyler Tingle hadn’t been water-skiing since his accident.

But, a weekend on Shumway Lake in the summer of 2014 changed all that.

“For me, it was just cool to go out and try it again,” Tingle told KTW. “I loved water-skiing before and to get back on the water again, 25 years later, after my injury, it was pretty cool.”

Tingle will again strap on a ski at Shumway this weekend, hitting the water with the Kamloops Waterski Club as part of its annual adaptive water-ski clinic.

The clinic runs tomorrow and Sunday, beginning at 9 a.m. each day.

Adaptive water-skis resemble a wakeboard in size and shape and are equipped with a seat made of an aluminum cage and cloth sling, which holds skiers in place.

Athletes use their body weight to carve the water, with their feet and torso strapped firmly in place.

Adaptive water-skiing includes skis of all sorts, ready to handle everyone from beginners to those looking to take a shot at slalom or trick-skiing.

For those new to the sport, the ski club will pull a side-skier alongside its adaptive participants, helping them to get out of the water for the first time, learn the

THE PROCEEDS OF THIS EVENT WENT TO THE FOLLOWING KAMLOOPS AGENCIES THAT HELP CHILDREN:

SUBMITTED

ins and outs of piloting the skis and to help in the event of a fall.

Also on hand to help coach will be Rob Gosse, a member of the Canadian national program.

“We had a club member who had a child with a disability and it was mentioned that other clubs were doing it,” Kamloops Waterski Club president Paul Dixon said.

“We took the plunge.

We’re about waterskiing and we want to promote it. There are people out there who have challenges and we feel like we can help.”

Injured in a motorvehicle accident in 1989, Tingle is a para-

plegic, but has always been active in the sporting world. He is an avid basketball player and has tried his hand at a smattering of other sports, including tennis and hand-cycling.

He’ll have plenty of company on the lake, with between 15 and 20 skiers expected to hit the water over the clinic’s two days.

While Tingle will be one of the more experienced athletes on the lake this weekend, the clinic is for skiers of all abilities and injuries.

In 2014, Tingle said two quadriplegics and five paraplegics — one of whom was also an amputee — participated.

“Get busy living or

get busy dying and I’m not going there yet,” Tingle said, speaking on the importance of staying active.

“When an opportunity like this is given to people, it shows them, as well as other people, that there are still things you can go out and do [after an injury].”

The 45-year-old’s opportunity on Shumway certainly opened plenty of doors.

Following his introduction to the sport, he was invited to Florida by the national adaptive skiing program, part of a week-long event intended to see if there was potential for people to progress

to competition-level in the sport.

Injured right before making the trip south, Tingle said he couldn’t do everything he had hoped when he was in Florida. But, now healthy and ready for another trip on the water, he’s looking forward to seeing what doors this weekend might open for him.

“Back on Shumway this weekend, it should be back to seeing what this could be like,” he said of his future in the sport.

“Finding something new and unique like water-skiing to do, that’s a great opportunity. It’s a lot of fun.”

CRIMES OF THE WEEK

MUG SHOTS

DO YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE On Sunday, July 5, just before 2 p.m., two males and a female entered the Michaels craft store on Hillside Drive — next to Walmart — and began to look around.

The three were in the store for a short period of time before leaving.

A store employee noticed a large number of felt markers were missing and store staff confirmed the theft when reviewing security video.

The two males took the markers and placed them in a backpack, while the female was the lookout.

The theft is valued at $1,600.

There was a similar theft last year involving the same type of felt markers and that case remains unsolved.

If you know these people, please contact Crime Stoppers. You will never have to go to court or give a statement.

Former Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Ken Hitchcock, who now plies his trade with the St. Louis Blues, is in town for the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association’s annual Coaches Conference.

Hitchcock, Hay to lead conference Kamloops Blazers head coach Don Hay and St. Louis Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock will headline the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association’s annual Coaches Conference in 2015.

The three-day event runs from today to Sunday at Interior Savings Centre.

The ninth annual event will also include Darryl Sydor, assistant coach of the Minnesota Wild, and Ray Bennett, assistant coach for the Blues.

Terry Bangen and Dan De Palma of the Kamloops Blazers, Tyler Kuntz of the UBC Thunderbirds and Serge Lajoie of the NAIT Ooks, along with

strength and conditioning specialist Greg Kozoris, will also present.

This year’s conference is being held in conjunction with BC Hockey’s HP 1 certificate clinic.

The cost of the event is $295, but will be $100 for Kamloops coaches.

The fee includes all presentations, a conference gift, Friday night social and continental breakfast, lunch and dinner.

There is still room to register.

For more information, contact George Cochrane, conference chairman and KMHA head coach, at kmha.headcoach@gmail.com or 250574-3846.

KIBT CONTINUES AT NORBROCK The Kamloops Sun Devils played their first game at the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament yesterday after KTW’s press deadline.

Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result.

Kamloops is back in action tonight against the Northwest Honkers of Bellevue, Wash.

Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Norbrock Stadium.

This thief had a plan.

Early in the morning of Sunday, July 5, a lone male suspect broke into the Pinantan General Store in the small community 40 minutes northeast of Kamloops.

The suspect broke through the front door of the store, then used a tow rope to remove the ATM from the building. The store security cameras recorded the suspect’s vehicle, as well as the suspect himself.

The bandit was wearing a balaclava, black hoodie, gloves, jeans and canvas shoes. The truck is a newer, white Ford F-350 King Ranch crew cab pickup with a sun roof, running boards, chrome mirrors and canopy with the glass door missing. The rear licence plate was covered.

There is an interesting point — beside the driver-side door post, the number “13” or “T3” can be seen in black lettering.

If you have any information on this break and enter or may have seen this vehicle, please contact Crime Stoppers. You will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of this suspect.

BY-LAW OFFICER ASSAULTED On Sunday June 28, at about 8:30 p.m., a City of Kamloops bylaw officer was attacked behind Memorial Arena at 740 Victoria St. The female bylaw officer was investigating someone spray painting on the back of the arena and was struck by a man with a skateboard. He then

ran away, leaving the bylaw officer on the ground. She was taken to hospital, treated and released.

The suspect is a white man in his early 20s. He stood six feet tall and had blond streaks in his hair. He was carrying a backpack and a brown skateboard.

The Kamloops RCMP forensic unit

has seized several items that will be useful in identifying the suspect. There is no doubt he has spoken to someone about what took place.

If you have any information on this assault, please contact Crime Stoppers.

Only your information will be used, never your name.

LIONS SEEK FIRST WIN AT HOME

Raonic eyes return DAN RALPH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — One game into their season and the B.C. Lions are already looking at the CFL standings.

Coming off a disappointing loss on the road, the Lions host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in their home opener tonight before the teams meet again next week in Regina.

It’s a two-game stretch in mid-July that could go a long way in determining where the clubs end up come November.

“These West Division games, even early in the season, are hugely important,’’ said Lions quarterback Travis Lulay.

“We expect a great effort from them and we know we’ll get it. We know we have to put a good one together to win.’’

The Lions had a bye to open the schedule before falling 27-16 to the Ottawa Redblacks last weekend, while Saskatchewan comes in off two straight home defeats, including Sunday’s 42-40 double overtime loss to the Toronto Argonauts.

“It’s going to be a battle,’’ said Lulay.

“They’re going to be kicking themselves because they were in position to win both of those football games and they didn’t find a way to get it done.

They’re in a similar boat to us where they feel like they could have got an earlier jump in the win-loss column.’’

Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian, last season’s most outstanding player, said it will come down to his team matching Saskatchewan’s desperation.

“It has to be a mindset where they’re 0-2, so they want it,’’ he said. “We’re 0-1,

KTW FILE PHOTO

Travis Lulay and the B.C. Lions are aiming to avoid an 0-2 start to the CFL season tonight at BC Place Stadium. The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be in Vancouver, with game time set for 7 p.m. The Roughriders are 0-2, having lost last week to Toronto in Regina.

we want it . . . but we’ve got to be ready to die for it. That’s what’s going to separate it.’’

Apart from the game being a crucial early-season matchup, it will also mark the return of a number of familiar faces to BC Place Stadium. Kevin Glenn started all but one game under centre for the Lions in 2014 because of Lulay’s welldocumented shoulder injuries. Glenn signed with Saskatchewan to be the backup this off-season, but was thrust into the spotlight in Week 1 when starter Darian Durant ruptured his left Achilles tendon and was lost for the year.

“I just try and stay prepared,’’ Glenn

told reporters in Regina this week.

“That’s one thing I was taught going into college and I’ve tried to carry it all the way through my career.’’

Veteran kicker Paul McCallum was cut by the Lions five days into training camp.

He signed with the Roughriders — a club he originally left for B.C. in 2005 — and booted four field goals against Toronto.

Lulay said it will be strange to see McCallum on the opposite sideline along with former B.C. offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine and offensive line coach Dan Dorazio.

“It’s weird,’’ said Lulay. “The only thing that’s constant is change.’’

Milos Raonic is looking to resume his season on home soil.

The native of Thornhill, Ont., is sidelined with lingering problems from foot surgery in May. But, he’s targeting the Rogers Cup in Montreal, which begins Aug. 7, for his return to the tennis court.

“Yes, that’s the objective for me now,’’ Raonic said during a conference call yesterday.

Raonic, who is ranked eighth in the world, underwent surgery to repair a pinched nerve leading to a toe.

The operation forced Raonic to miss the French Open.

He resumed playing in June and last week lost a third-round match to Australian Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon. Raonic said the surgery fixed the nerve problem, but he’s now dealing with fluid buildup in the foot with which he is being cautious.

So, Raonic won’t

play for Canada’s Davis Cup squad in Belgium later this month. The team received another big blow yesterday when Tennis Canada announced Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil, who reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon, wouldn’t play because of a severe bone bruise to his right wrist.

Wimbledon The Wimbledon men’s semifinal round will be played today in London.

At 5 a.m., Novak Djokovic of Serbia will play Richard Gasquet of France.

Andy Murray of Great Britain will square off with Roger Federer of Switzerland at 7:30 a.m.

Serena Williams of the U.S. disposed of Maria Sharapova of Russia yesterday to advance to the women’s final.

Williams will play Garbine Muguruza of Spain tomorrow for the title.

Muguruza topped Agnieszka Radwanska in the other semifinal yesterday.

Jordan causes fuss with Cuban snub THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The fallout from DeAndre Jordan’s decision to spurn the Dallas Mavericks and stay with the Los Angeles Clippers continued reverberating through the NBA yesterday, the first day teams and players could officially do business in the new league year.

In Dallas, owner Mark Cuban was predictably unhappy. And, two general managers who weren’t involved in the saga wonder if Jordan’s turnabout will spark leaguewide change in how the off-season moratorium — and, really, free-agent talks in general — get handled going forward.

“It’s a weird way to do business, where agents will tell you we’ve signed a guy and we can’t comment,’’ Brooklyn GM Billy King said yesterday. “And, so I think from both sides, I think everybody realizes it’s something that has to be looked at.’’

Added Orlando GM Rob Hennigan: “The rules have been the rules for a while now. I don’t think this is the first time that something like this has happened.

But that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be looked at.’’

DeAndre Jordan shunned the Dallas Mavericks and signed with the Los Angeles Clippers in a free-agent signing fraught with controversy.

How the Jordan saga played out is certain to be a hot topic at NBA meetings in Las Vegas next week. The NBA has not commented on the Jordan matter.

Cuban spoke out yesterday via social media, his first public comments since the dramatic change of events.

“I don’t think the time is right to say anything beyond the facts

that he never responded to me at all yesterday,’’ Cuban wrote on the Cyber Dust messaging app.

“Not once. To this minute I have not heard anything from him since Tuesday night.’’

The Dallas owner addressed the message to Mavs fans. He did not mention Jordan by name, though it was obvious to what he was referring.

Cuban said he will eventually have more to say about what transpired on Wednesday, when a group of Clippers travelled to Jordan’s home in an apparent lastditch push to re-sign him.

“I thought I had a good pump fake,’’ Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons wrote on Twitter, another thinly veiled reference to Jordan changing his mind and spurning the Mavericks.

Shane Larkin, who signed with the Nets as a free agent yesterday and spent his rookie season in Dallas, said it’s a difficult situation to talk about.

On one hand, he is happy for Jordan to be able to go where he wanted; on the other, he expressed confidence the Mavs would find a way to get past the mess.

But, when he committed to Brooklyn in recent days, Larkin took that pledge seriously.

“When I agreed, I didn’t pick up the phone for anybody else,’’ Larkin said. “That’s it.’’

It’s impossible to say how much of a domino effect Jordan’s last-minute flip impacted free agency for franchises and other players. If he had announced early he was staying with the Clippers, teams may have changed their free-agent strategies, including the Mavericks.

Former NBA executive Stu Jackson tweeted that changes could be coming to the system.

“Change to the moratorium system is imminent 8-9 days is too long and process could move back,’’ Jackson wrote.

The moratorium next year is scheduled to last from July 1 through July 11.

Earlier in the week, Cuban was fined $25,000 by the NBA for commenting about the team’s agreements with Jordan and Wes Matthews during the league’s free-agent moratorium. Cuban praised Jordan’s ability and discussed the role he would have on the Mavericks during a radio interview.

Cuban said he offered Matthews the chance to back out of his handshake deal and that Matthews declined.

“Wes Matthews is exactly the type of player we want in a Mavs uniform and our fans will love him,’’ Cuban wrote in his message.

Free agency started on July 1 and players could agree to deals at any time after that window opens, but they could not become official until 12:01 a.m. Eastern time yesterday — the start of the new league year, one day after the salary cap and other financial matters for the coming season are released and finalized.

The Clippers announced at 12:05 a.m. yesterday that they were keeping Jordan, releasing a tweet saying, “We’re officially centred.’’

“In all the years I’ve been I guess doing this job or been in the league, I’ve never seen it,’’ King said.

“And I think it’s only going to get worse. So, I think as a league we have to look at it and maybe start the signing, everything starts the same time when the moratorium ends rather than starting July 1.’’

KATHLEEN THEOBALD December 29, 1937 – July 6, 2015

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Kathleen Theobald (née Peters) on July 6, 2015, aged 77 years.

She is survived by her daughters, Danaë and Reah (Clinton Coates), and her grandsons, Kai and Liam. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Florence Theobald; nephews Matthew (Tiffany), Peter (Nasim), Gary (Marianne), Mark (Megan); niece, Renee; brother-in-law Theo Theobald; and many dear nieces and nephews in Germany. She leaves behind her cousins Joan Sage (Lorne), Alan Phillpotts (Anita), Barry Phillpotts (Edie) and their families.

She is predeceased by her loving husband of 50 years, Henry Theobald, her mother, Enid Peters, her brothers- and sisters-in-law; Oskar (Verena), Louis (Else), Alfred (Else), Edgar, Alphonse, Hila, Theresia (Albert), Gertrud (Josef), Marie; and her nephew Craig.

Mom was born in Wolverhampton, England and spent her early years in Hull. During the war, she and her mother immigrated to Canada to escape the Blitz. She grew up in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, where she met and married the love of her life, Henry.

After the birth of her daughters, the family lived in Germany, and then returned to Canada, settling in Kamloops. She studied commercial art at Cariboo College, and worked at Sears, where she made many good friends.

Mom was well known for her extraordinary sewing abilities. She made most of our clothing, theatre costumes, and dance outfits, including beautiful tutus. She was very talented in many arts and crafts, such as knitting, crocheting, and cooking; we fondly remember the paper dolls she made. She loved travelling, reading, and all her pets, especially Emmett. She was very devout, singing for many years in the choir at Our Lady of Lourdes. She will be overjoyed to be reunited with her beloved husband, Henry.

Prayers for Kathleen will be Friday, July 10, 2015 at 7:00 pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, (2573 Todd Mountain Road). The Funeral Mass is on Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 10:00 am at Our Lady of Lourdes.

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams.

The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun.

The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do.

That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start.

Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light.

He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring...

The lonely, bitter tears.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees.

He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can.

There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.”

His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

FAITH

Examining the real Christmas — in July

I

t’s less than six months until Christmas.

But, who wants to think about Christmas in the middle of the dog days of summer?

By “Christmas,” I don’t mean presents, Santa Claus, ad nauseum commercials flogging questionable junk or over-the-top light decorations.

I mean the birth of Jesus Christ.

The Incarnation is arguably the most incredible thing that has ever happened in the history of humanity.

God becoming a man — actually a baby first.

Impossible?

Ridiculous?

A fanciful fable?

Let’s set aside the issue as to whether this is even possible for now and look at a more important question.

Why? Why would God choose to do such a

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

thing in the first place?

Perhaps the words of Jesus himself give the best explanation.

Jesus was debating with the leading Jews in the synagogue in Capernum, who were challenging him to prove who he really was.

He answered them: “For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent me . . . For this is the will of my Father, that every one who beholds the Son, and believes in

Him, may have eternal life and I myself will raise him up on the last day.”

That pretty much sums up his mission.

God wants to save all of us and the way He chose to do it was to send a personal incarnation and ask, not compel, people to believe in the Son whom He sent.

But, it still doesn’t answer the question of why was it necessary for God to become a man in order to accomplish this goal of salvation of humanity.

Why not just inspire an ordinary person to say wonderful things and perform miracles to convince people to repent and believe in God? There are many faiths that believe Jesus was an inspiring preacher and great moral teacher.

But, they don’t believe he was God in the flesh.

It is what separates Christianity from all faiths.

And “faith” is an appropriate term because believing Jesus is God Incarnate is an article of faith — and one that is very hard to grasp.

Many wise thinkers have wrestled with this question over the ages.

One of them was Thomas Aquinas, a 13th-century Dominican friar and arguably the most influential Catholic philosopher and theologian of the Medieval Age. To this day, Catholic priests in training are required to study his texts.

He is regarded as a Doctor of the Church, an honour bestowed on only a few individuals throughout history who have made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the nature of God. Aquinas’ Compendium of

Theology is the last book he wrote prior to his death in 1274.

Although it was unfinished, it was so erudite and full of wisdom that it was published anyway.

In Compendium, Aquinas argues the fall of man was due to the original sin of Adam and Eve. It was a fall from grace that neither Adam, nor any his earthly descendants, could remedy through their own efforts.

Indeed, scripture asserts, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” The holiness of God requires not even a hint of evil or sin be permitted in his presence.

Yet, because He loves his creation, he wanted to bestow everlasting life, in heaven, on all who would believe in Him. How could this be done?

Aquinas writes that no mere man could

effect the remedy of restoring all men to grace, nor could an angel.

“Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.”

God could have restored mankind solely

by His own will and power, but that would have violated divine justice, for “justice demands satisfaction for sin.”

The only solution, therefore, was for God to become man “so that one and the same person would be able both to restore man and to offer satisfaction.”

So, there’s the “why.”

But, how could the Incarnation possibly happen?

When my son was three years old, he saw two men arm-wrestling on TV and challenged me to a duel of strength.

Of course, I supplied just enough resistance to give him a realistic

test of the strength in his little arm and let him “win,” all the while professing my great amazement at his superior muscles.

I think most of us have done something like this with a little one, purposely limiting our true strength and presence.

Why? Because we love them and take delight in their joy.

I think the Incarnation is like that.

All things are possible with God, so He self-limited his true strength and power in the person of Jesus.

Why? Because He loves us all and delights in our salvation.

HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Nova Scotia government has firmly quashed the idea of installing fences on the large, smooth rocks at Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove, saying the barriers wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter thrill-seeking gawkers from getting too close to the ocean.

Municipal Affairs Minister Mark Furey, speaking after a cabinet meeting yesterday, said the government will instead install new warning signs in response to two recent incidents of people falling into the rough surf.

As well, Furey said the government is considering installation of a fence around a nearby parking lot tourists use, saying the fence could guide them toward the warning signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under no circumstances would we ever consider placing a fence out on the rock portion of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Furey, a former Mountie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience is that people go over and around those barriers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove is famous for its landscape of stark granite boulders, crashing Atlantic seas and postcard-perfect lighthouse.

But, the rocks can be slippery and rogue waves have been known to sweep onlookers into

the ocean.

Earlier this month, a 26-year-old Ontario man was rescued after falling from the rocks.

Mounties say he was in the ocean for 10 minutes before he was pulled from the churning water by the crew aboard a nearby tour boat.

In April, a 25-yearold man from Ontario was swept off the rocks and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recovered.

The two incidents prompted a wave of commentary on social media, much of it hurling abuse at people from outside the province who are unfamiliar with the fickle moods of the sea.

In a recent letter to the Halifax Chronicle Herald, a man who describes himself as a friend of the man rescued on July 2 said he was unaware of the danger of walking on the coveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slick, black rocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The danger of the ocean is unknown to most visitors to Atlantic

Canada,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the letter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We come for sun, lobster and your famous hospitality.

What we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize is the inherent peril of coastal activities.â&#x20AC;?

The letter goes on to state the Nova Scotia government is â&#x20AC;&#x153;sitting on its hands while the visitors . . . die or are injured . . . [and] stating that my friend was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;luckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that everyone from Ontario is stupid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as many have on social media â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a pathetic response.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Furey said a meeting Wednesday for provincial, federal and local officials reviewed a 2010 report that outlined shortand long-term safety measures.

Another meeting will be held in two weeks following a site visit that will focus on improving signage, he said.

During a recent visit to the area, Furey said he noticed some warning signs were missing

and others were difficult to see.

One sign embedded in the rock warns: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Injury and death have rewarded careless sight-seers here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ocean and rocks are treacherous.

Savour the sea from a distance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Furey said installing ring buoys, ropes and other safety equipment on the rocks could create additional hazards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to stand on a beach and toss an item, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing to stand on a slippery rock and toss an item,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

As for reinstating a local patrol group, the minister said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always adhere to that kind of advice and direction,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

In May 2000, the province cancelled a patrol program, saying it was impossible to guarantee the safety of the five students hired every summer to remind tourists to keep a safe distance from the water.

The May-to-October patrol was created in March 1995 after a couple was swept into the frigid Atlantic by a huge wave.

The man was pounded into the rocks, breaking his legs, while the woman was swept out to sea and drowned.

NATIONAL NEWS LOWERING DAILY MAXIMUM ACETAMINOPHEN DOSES? TORONTO — Health Canada says it may change its guidelines for acetaminophen, based on concerns about the drug’s capacity to cause severe liver injury.

The department says it is considering a new maximum recommended daily dose for acetaminophen.

As well, it may require that all children’s liquid medications that contain acetaminophen be sold with an accurate dosing device to minimize the risk of overdose.

Health Canada says there are more than 4,000 hospitalizations a year in this country due to acetaminophen overdoses.

As a pain medication, acetaminophen is sold as Tylenol and its generic equivalents, but many cold medications also include the drug.

The drug is the leading cause of all serious liver injuries — including liver failure — in a number of countries, including Canada.

Health Canada says there are more than 250 cases of serious liver injury in Canada each year related to acetaminophen and more than half of those are due to unintentional overdose.

A recent federal report on acetaminophen found that the numbers of unintentional acetaminophen overdoses in Canada are on the rise.

And, one out of every five acetaminophen-related liver injuries

Dog attack didn’t kill him THE CANADIAN PRESS

HAMILTON — Hamilton police say a dog attack is not what killed a man who died in the city Wednesday night.

Police have said the man, who has not been identified, was out walking the canine with another man in a residential neighbourhood just after 11 p.m. when the incident took place.

Police say the dog attacked the man, who was found on the ground by officers

responding to a flurry of 911 calls made by people who lived in the area.

Officers say a passerby with a baseball bat tried to fend off the animal, and officers used pepper spray to deter the dog before it was eventually captured with the help of an animal control unit.

But after an autopsy conducted today, police say a forensic pathologist has determined the dog attack was not what caused the man’s death, although they

didn’t detail what did.

Contrary to initial reports that described the dog as a pit bull — a breed banned in Ontario — the dog has been identified as a sharpei-fila mix, weighing about 20 kilograms, and is currently being held by Hamilton’s Animal Services department.

“The fila . . . they are aggressive animals,’’ said city spokeswoman Ann Lamanes.

The attack created a stir among those living in the area, with many

waking up to police cars and a marked crime scene on their street.

Mark Wall, who lives one street over from where the incident took place, heard piercing screams as he sat on his front porch Wednesday night.

“I heard those screams and I thought some guy was getting punched out,’’ said Wall, who described the area as a rough neighbourhood.

“He was screaming for his life.’’

reportedly occurred in people who did not exceed the recommended daily maximum dose.

The recommended maximum daily dose is currently four grams per day.

Health Canada says more than 475 products containing acetaminophen are licensed for sale and most are sold without prescription.

The department says it plans to change the labelling for products containing acetaminophen so the language is clearer and the risks of misuse are easier to understand.

The department says it will post a draft of the new labelling standards later this summer.

CAMECO, AREVA SUSPEND URANIUM SHIPMENTS DUE TO SASKATCHEWAN FIRES THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Cameco Corp. and Areva Resources Canada have stopped shipping uranium from their northern Saskatchewan operations after wildfires made highway transportation unsafe.

Cameco spokesman

Gord Struthers says the company suspended shipments from the mines in the region about a week ago and Areva spokeswoman Veronique Larlham says that company did the same a few days ago.

But both say their overall uranium deliv-

eries are continuing normally because they have large inventories.

The operations affected are Cameco’s Rabbit Lake mine, McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill, the Cameco-Areva jointlyowned Cigar Lake mine and Areva’s McClean Lake mill.

Keep overnight rate target on hold, C.D. Howe council tells Bank of Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The C.D. Howe Institute’s monetary policy council is recommending the Bank of Canada keep its target for the overnight rate on hold when it makes its rate announcement next week.

Seven members of the think tank’s council voted to keep the key rate on hold at 0.75 per cent, while four supported a cut to 0.5 per cent.

The split in opinion among members of the group comes amid

concerns about the economy and speculation Canada slipped into a recession in the first half of the year.

The Bank of Canada is widely expected to cut its economic outlook for the year when it releases its monetary policy report along with its rate announcement next week.

In its April outlook, the central bank predicted economic growth in Canada of 1.9 per cent this year.

The International Monetary Fund cut its outlook for Canada to 1.5 per cent yesterday as part of its downgrade for the global economy.

CANADIANS HIT FEW TARGETS IN SYRIA AS ISIL BOMBING GRINDS ON THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Canadian military reported 18 new air strikes against targets belonging to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, but none in the latest round involve missions over Syria.

In the three months since Parliament granted an expansion of the air campaign only three attacks have been

conducted against what the Harper government sometimes described as the heart of the extremist movement.

The U.S.-led coalition has stepped up both the level of bombing and the public relations campaign since Islamic State forces dealt a surprise blow to the Iraqi government and seized took control of the strategically important city of Ramadi.

Canadian navy Capt. Paul Forget says it’s clear that the

tempo of CF-18 missions has increased along with its allies, but he offered no explanation for the dearth of Syrian missions.

He did say the Canadian air task force takes its target lists from the coalition headquarters in Qatar.

Much of the debate about extending and expanding Canada’s combat mission in Iraq was focused on the advisability and the legalities of bombing ISIL in Syria.

Music in the Park is Hijacked ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

F

rom custom art installations to tribute concerts jam-packed with the region’s best singers, there’s a lot going on as BC Living Arts takes the reins of Music in the Park tomorrow and Saturday in Riverside Park.

The second annual Music in the Park Hijacked will feature two nights of live music from bands and singer-songwriters, but celebrations have expanded this year to include other aspects of Kamloops culture, said Alan Corbishley, executive director of BC Living Arts.

“It’s inclusive and Canadian and regional and celebrates Kamloops,” he said, summing up the goal for the event.

New this year is an interactive art park, featuring multiple installations which can be manipulated by the public.

Visitors to The Art We Are may already be familiar with one of them. Since the fall,

PLEASE DON’T STOP THE MUSIC All Music In the Park Hijacked concerts run on the Rotary Band Shell stage at Riverside Park. Admission is free.

• Gleneagle Band, 6 p.m. Kamloopsbased four-piece rock band offers an energetic live show aimed to get the crowd moving with a blend of alt-country, indie rock and folk punk.

• Van Damsel, 6:30 p.m. Formed out of the ashes of a death-metal band, this indie pop quartet from Kamloops won The Shore 104’s Best of B.C. prize in 2014.

Its self-titled debut is out this summer.

• Tributes to Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn and The Band, 7:45 p.m.

• Ten local and regional artists such as Caitlyn Goulet, Geoff Morris, Kira Haug and Kris Ruston put their spin on Canadian classics.

For Hijacked, the confessions have been turned into an installation by Thompson Rivers University fine arts

graduate Finn Modder and will be displayed on her large, wooden abstract sculptures.

“That’s going to be a representation of the inner lives and thoughts of the community of Kamloops,” Corbishely said.

again by B.C. Living Arts Other art pieces also feature interaction, from writing down things to do before you die to manipulating sound and images through movement.

More collaboration will come on the Riverside Park Bandshell stage, as musicians and singers from around the region hit the stage to pay tribute to Canada’s musical legends, including Joni Mitchell and The Band.

Sabrina Weeks, one of about half a dozen singers performing with a live band during the Saturday tribute, said even in early group rehearsals it’s been clear Kamloops is in for a great night of music.

“The musicians that are chosen for these two nights are the creme de la creme of Kamloops and area,” she said.

Corbishley said he wanted to stick to the region for performers — and, with the exception of a bassist from Vancouver, was able to do so. Music selections are a nod to some of BC Living Arts’ other performances, including a Leonard Cohen tribute for Valentine’s Day. Music in the Park Hijacked runs from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. both nights, with music until 9:30 p.m.

MORE ART EXHIBITS AT THE PARK Check out these other installations at the Interactive Art Park across from the Riverside Park Rotary Bandshell. All exhibits are open from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. during Music in the Park Hijacked: • Created by Taiwanese-American artist Candy Chang, Before I Die is an interactive art project on a global scale. The simple blackboard wall, stencilled with the phrase ‘before I die I want to…’ multiple times have been recreated more than 500 times in more than 70 countries. Chang’s original installation went up on an abandoned house in her neighbourhood. Kamloops’ version went up in Riverside Park on Canada Day and will remain in place until the end of Hijacked.

Winners from the Kamloops Independent Short Shorts Film Festival will be played on loop from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the (air-conditioned) Big Steel Box theatre. Films range in length from two to five minutes and popcorn is available outside the theatre.

For a full list of shows, visit bclivingarts.ca.

• The movements of your hands control the music, while your body creates the art in Sign + Flow, a collaboration between Okanagan Valley artists and the UBC schools of music and computing, information and cognitive systems. Wander through the exhibit and create visual effects ranging from a flock of birds to ripples in water. Motion technology is used in the exhibit, including the Microsoft Kinect controllers used with the Xbox.

écile Doo-Kingué says music has been in her since before she was born.

But, her desire to pursue it professionally began in her teens, eventually landing her at McGill University in Montreal, where the bornand-raised New Yorker has lived for about 20 years.

Doo-Kingué was trying to get into McGill University’s music program at the time but, she said, they wouldn’t give her an audition because she didn’t already have formal music experience.

“Insane given most of the other jazzers in their program didn’t have any formal studies,” she said.

“I transferred schools.”

She went on to earn a bachelor of fine arts from Concordia University but knows being a musician is more than the certificate on her wall.

“Your education comes from playing, which is really the education I got,” she said.

Sunday: Cécile Doo-Kingué blues Monday: 100 Mile House English folk roots Tuesday: Wild T and The Spirit blues Wednesday: Scattered Atoms blues/R&B

When KTW reached the blues artist for a phone interview she had just started a tour that will land her in Kamloops for Music in the Park on Sunday night.

She is promoting her solo acoustic album Anybody Listening Pt. 1: Monologues, which was released in February.

It’s the first in a three-part trilogy, which connects blues and her roots, she said.

The song Third World Child, for example, is based on her experience and the lyrics tell a personal story: “Spit out the hatred, don’t swallow the lies.

Always remember mama and papa’s pride. I’m a third-world child. The first world bastardized.”

Her parents were both born in Cameroon, in a generation that fought for independence — the right for education, jobs, respect, she said, and to be seen

as “first-rate citizens.”

“It’s the experience of being a person of colour in the States, a child of immigrants,” she said of the song.

“To have to reconcile your reality, which is a Western reality.”

She’s working on the next part of the trilogy — different from part one in that it’s “more fleshed out” — and will round out Part 3 with a live performance album, all expected to wrap up in late 2016 or early 2017.

While promoting her solo acoustic album at Riverside Park this weekend, her trio will also be on stage to perform songs from her first two albums and provide a glimpse of Part 2.

The free show starts at 7 p.m.

To sample Doo-Kingué’s music, go online to cdkmusik. com/musik. Her music will also be for sale at the park.

“The hills are alive with the sound of music....”

Whether or not you know this line from the 1965 classic The Sound of Music, it totally captures the essence of Whistler’s Outdoor Concert Series. Throughout the summer, the hills of Whistler are alive with great music from a diverse lineup of talent.

Grab your family and friends and enjoy the free outdoor concerts in Olympic Plaza.

“The unique feature of the Whistler Concert Series is that it has such broad appeal,” says Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden.

“When you look at the audience you see people of all ages.”

On July 30, the High and Mighty Brass Band combines classic New Orleans funk with modern Afro-beat and hip-hop influences.

Find out why they’ve been described as “a party in progress.” Nahko and Medicine for the People take

the stage on July 31. Their sound is a fusion of cultural influences, and their raw storytelling never fails to connect with the audience.

On August 1, Michael Franti and Spearhead blend hiphop with funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock. This dynamic group will get you grooving.

At ninety-seven, Dal Richards is one of the busiest musicians in Vancouver.

Hear the legend perform on August 21 as he leads his orchestra in classic big band, rock and roll, and pop tunes.

August 22 features Canadian music power couple Raine Maida and Chantal

Kreviazuk in their exciting Moon vs Sun collaboration.

Their musical inspiration comes from other greats like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young.

On August 28, check out a new genre of talk rock. Canadian spoken-word artist Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long enthral with a range that stretches from folk to funk, from ambient to rock. Twenty-eight years after the release of their first album, Canadian country rock band Blue Rodeo is still going strong. On August 29, don’t miss one of Canada’s most successful bands.

No need to think about Labour Day and the end of the summer yet, but mark your calendar for more awesome concerts. On Sept 5, Great Lake Swimmers entertain with their melodic folk rock songs. Long-time favourite Spirit of the West will ensure that on September 6 the hills of Whistler are alive with rock, Britpop and Celtic folk.

Pack your blanket and a picnic and be captivated by the music in Whistler’s great outdoors. For the most upto-date concert listings, go to www.whistler.com/events/ concerts/.

What is women’s soccer?”

It’s a question Sophie Schmidt answered in one word.

“Everything,” the Canadian player told me after repeating the question.

She had just been knocked out of the Women’s World Cup during the quarterfinals in Vancouver, but beamed while snapping selfies with fans, including a hilarious one with my group of friends.

The question came because, after joining a group of fans that travelled to the Lower Mainland for the tournament, I’ve played my own defence off the field.

Discussions over the quality of play can be boiled down to a single heavy comment from the opposition: “It’s

JESSICA WALLACE

GAP

women’s soccer.”

It’s hard to swallow, having played the sport since I could walk, as a team organizer in Kamloops Women’s Soccer League and, frankly, because I’m a woman and it’s an insult.

Even the FA backtracked after tweeting England’s players would “go back to being mothers, partners and daughters” after the tournament ended because — no,

that’s not all they do.

But, like a beaming Schmidt after a loss, I’m taking the high road.

In giving people the benefit of the doubt — I’m assuming that, in 2015, sexism isn’t an issue, right?

— let’s just say there are some who must be confused, some who maybe missed something.

For clarification and recap, here’s a little perspective on women’s soccer.

It’s the Netherlands’ masterful possession back and fourth while so deep in their own zone Japan’s offence could pounce

at any moment for a shot on net.

It’s that same Netherlands team, whose goalie may as well have been called a sweeper for how active she was in regular play and how often she ran out of her safe zone to control the back end of the field.

It was Japan’s midfielders who spread so wide on the field they went beyond getting chalk on their boots and, at times, were actually off the field, ready to make a diagonal run onto the ball, give and go or spring for a cross.

It’s England’s Laura Bassett saying she

preferred nobody knew her name after accidently scoring on her own team in the 92nd minute to lose to Japan and miss a chance at the final.

It’s 55,000 people standing and screaming in B.C. Place Stadium among a sea of red when Canada lost to England.

It’s “a tournament that broke all records” according to FIFA, which included record-breaking audience numbers — in the stadium, on television and online — and the first-ever hat trick scored in the tournament’s final.

In Kamloops, it’s veterans and university players competing on the same pitch.

At World Cup, it’s really just some of the highest calibre of soccer in the world.

And, for some — it’s everything.

When travelling to Southeast Asia, take in the sunset on the Mekong River.

in Chao (good-day): Greetings from Laos, officially the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.

I’ve been riding local buses across northern Thailand to the Mekong River and the Laos border town of Houei Xia. Now, I’m travelling down the Mekong on a slow boat.

The river is broad with sandy banks, at times narrowing to rocky channels.

The vegetation is lush and green, the area sparsely populated.

I overnight in Pakbeng, a bend in the river with a frontier town feel – rough, ragged, edgy. In the morning there are elephants on the far bank, and the mist and rocks and rapids remind me of scenes from The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now. The day brings increasing river traffic and larger village populations, peanut farms, women in conical hats panning for gold, fishermen with nets, a limestone karst landscape and a stronger current taking us to Luang Prabang, the UNESCO heritage site famous for its colonial architecture.

The night market is extensive and the Royal Palace houses a revered gold Buddha statue.

A couple of days later I’m on a hair-raising ride in a minivan across a mountain range. Heavy morning fog fills the valleys. As the road rises above the mist, mountain peaks punch their way through like

There are hundreds of switchbacks, hairpins and precipices as we climb to 2,000 metres. Villages cling to the cliffs, caught between the narrow road and the edge of the world.

The driver is by turns ruthless, reckless, relentless. He hates being passed.

Eventually we arrive at Vang Vieng on the Nam Song River where the beer flows faster than the river.

This place has a repu-

tation for outdoor activities — tubing, caving, rock climbing, hot air ballooning, kayaking, dirt biking — and partying.

Too many fatalities recently so the police have shut down some of the riverside bars.

Another minivan ride takes me into Vientiane, the capital, where one walks on the road because the sidewalks are filled with parked cars and motorbikes.

houses a decaying artifact collection, much of which concerns the unofficial, “secret” war waged by the U.S. Laos has the dubious distinction of having more bombs dropped on it per capita than any other nation on the planet.

Between 1964 and 1973, 260 million bombs were dumped on the country, of which an estimated 80 million failed to explode. UXO (un-exploded ordinance) projects continue, hoping to find the explosives before farmers or children stumble on them.

Next stop is the border town of Lak Sao with its single main street — wide, dusty, unpaved like a scene from a spaghetti Western.

Vietnam is sparsely populated with fledgling businesses, a handful of tourists and one restaurant.

The market offers fresh fruit and vegetables for sale — and fly-blown fish, meat, rats, moles, squirrels and insects.

A short ride takes me across the Vietnam border to Vinh (birthplace of Ho Chi Minh) to catch the overnight train to Hanoi.

Now, I’m holed up in Hanoi’s Old Quarter falling for the city despite the traffic which is killing me (almost).

Some cities have oneway streets, some twoway streets — Hanoi has all-way streets. Endless streams of motorbikes weave aggressively

between buses, trucks, cars, cyclists, pedestrians, street vendors and push carts.

One day I take a break from the city and visit Halong Bay, also a UNESCO site. Two thousand limestone islets dot the bay like stone soup. The scenery is breathtaking and the caves even more so.

But Hanoi’s Old Quarter is a source of wonder too — vibrant, vigorous, visceral.

Delicious pho (pronounced fa) is served in numerous noodle soup restaurants. Egg coffee is sipped on balconies overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake.

Sidewalk food stalls, bakeries, bars and cafes abound, intermingled with mini hotels and hostels, family shops, small businesses, and the never-ending hustle of street life.

The hammer and sickle flies prominently in both Vietnam and Laos.

But, there are many differences. Laos is languid, land-locked, laid-back.

Vietnam is industrious and twice the size with 15 times the population — 90 million people versus 6.5 million for Laos.

Vietnam is strategic and fiercely independent having fought Chinese, Mongol, French and American invasions.

For much of that same period, Laos was considered a backwater buffer state. In Hanoi, the traffic greets the dawn, in Laos the cocks crow lustily in the pre-dawn stillness. I take these contrasts home with me.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
