Election candidates on Ajax mine ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three of Kamloops’ federal election candidates will wait for the approval process to unfold before weighing in on KGHM Ajax’s proposed mine south of Aberdeen.

The fourth, however, is taking a stand.

“Personally, I’m going to have to say that Ajax is just a bad deal for Kamloops and for Canada,” Green candidate Matt Greenwood told KTW. “When you look at it, when you look at the benefits and who’s getting the benefits, they’re kind of bribing us for dirty pieces of silver and they’re walking off with a whole lot more than any risks they have to take.”

The risks are what NDP candidate Bill Sundhu is focused on as he expressed concern with Prime Minster Stephen Harper’s track record on environmental issues.

Though he deferred taking a stance on the project itself until the end of the environmental-assessment process, Sundhu said he stands with his party in support of sustainable development and responsible resource extraction.

“I think there is an erosion of public confidence in Harper’s handling of these processes,” Sundhu said, noting the prime minister

THE ISSUES

Each week, KTW quizzes the candidates on an a topic of the week.

Today, we ask: What is your stance on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine? has gutted environmental-protection laws, attacked scientists and refused to sign international agreements on climate change.

“As a lawyer, I know that, just like in court, you win some, you lose some. But, if you feel the process has been fair, then you respect the outcome,” Sundhu said.

“That’s what’s lacking here, is legitimacy and respect for the processes because Harper has really muddied the waters.”

Liberal candidate Steve Powrie echoed Sundhu’s concerns with the process, adding his party would propose more rigorous and comprehensive assessment processes if elected.

Powrie said he struggles with the idea

SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Modified Scramble Registration: 8:30am - 10:30am Shot Gun Start: 11:00am Sharp The Dunes at Kamloops

of the City of Kamloops needing to invest $300,000 to review KGHM’s application.

It’s a cost he feels should be a part of the process.

Powrie said he, too, will wait for the report from the B.C. environmental assessment office (BCEAO) before taking a final stance on the mine.

“My feelings as a resident are the same as my feelings as someone running for member of Parliament: I support economic development for Kamloops and I support it in a way that is respectful of quality of life . . . and in a way that there’s that sustainable relationship with the environment,” he said.

Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said she will take a look at Ajax’s submission to the BCEAO and is reserving judgment in support of due process.

She did note, however, that she has met with Health Canada officials and is confident in the process ahead for Ajax.

“I was very reassured with the robustness and the expertise within Health Canada, in terms of their ability to analyze this application when it’s eventually submitted,” McLeod said.

“I think any project, obviously — environmental impact, health impact — needs to be very carefully scrutinized.”

Psych assessment for killer of ex-girlfriend stabbing her to death.

Butler invited Wheeler to his apartment on Dec. 30, 2014.

He told police he was waiting for her with the rope saw and wanted to kill her because she was possessed by a demon.

Despite those admissions, Justice Keith Bracken said there is uncertainty whether Butler’s mental state at the time allowed him to form intent to murder.

From the moment he walked into the North Shore RCMP office the day of the murder to inform police to his latest court appearance,

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice ordered a psychiatric assessment yesterday for a 41-yearold man who claims he killed his former girlfriend because he was in the “fight of his life” with a demon.

Christopher Butler — who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Deanne Wheeler — admitted to strangling her with a rope saw and cord, beating her with a rock and

Butler has admitted to the murder and expressed a desire to plead guilty.

He has refused legal assistance and represents himself in court.

But, Bracken also noted Butler has consistently questioned in court whether he is not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder, a section of the Criminal Code.

“What I killed was not the body of Deanne, but what was inside her,” Butler said during one court appearance.

Convicted of a number of crimes in

past, including robbery, Butler has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, mood disturbance and delusional thinking.

The psychiatrist who determined he is fit to stand trial earlier this year also recommended Butler be sent for a psychiatric assessment to determine whether he intended to kill Wheeler or was suffering from psychosis at the time.

“It’s my view that aspect requires further exploration,” Bracken said.

Butler will be sent to the provincial forensic

psychiatric hospital for a 30-day assessment.

Crown prosecutor Alex Janse presented evidence through text messages of Butler’s

increasing jealously and controlling behaviour in the weeks before Wheeler’s death.

Depending on the finding, the Crown can

One of the ongoing issues at Hillside has been the unreliability of equipment nurses use to alert co-workers of escalating violence and the need for assistance.

Duteil said that equipment will be improved and the ministry has assured her staffing will meet the baseline requirements — another ongoing concern for the union.

“I don’t anticipate nurses will be working alone at Hillside,” she said.

After the April incident, security guards were hired for the centre to provide roundthe-clock protection for staff and patients.

Nurses will no longer work alone and will have personal protection equipment that works at Hillside Centre.

Those two assertions are part of a larger project jointly announced yesterday by the Ministry of Health and the B.C. Nurses’ Union (BCNU), one that will see $2 million put into four psychiatric facilities in the province with an eye to expanding the program to another eight later in the year.

Health Minister Terry Lake and BCNU president Gayle Duteil have led a review of the care model at facilities like Hillside following ongoing reports of violence at them.

They announced the study in April at the facility next to Royal Inland Hospital after another nurse was attacked by a patient there.

vices with the Interior Health Authority, said once all the changes are in place, the security service will no longer be present at the centre.

Brown said all the changes identified are starting to be put into place at Hillside, with staff being consulted.

For example, nursing staff identified some educational programs they felt would be beneficial.

Changes will be unique to the facilities in Abbotsford, Victoria and Port Coquitlam.

A constant addition at each will be improved education and training on identifying and dealing with situations that could lead to violence, Lake said.

Brown said staff

was happy to hear of the changes coming to Hillside.

Jesse Spencer, a psychiatric nurse and team leader at the centre, also praised the move.

“These are positive improvements that I believe will support ongoing quality patient care and improve safety for staff and patients,” Spencer said.

“This has been a transparent process that brought together the knowledge and experience of our entire team.

“It is exciting to move forward with a plan where collaboration took place from front-line staff to ministry-level stakeholders on the important issue of violence prevention.”

LAKE: ‘WE GET MOST THINGS RIGHT’

HEALTH MINISTER OVERSEES 42% OF ENTIRE PROVINCIAL BUDGET CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

wice while battling a hearty sandwich at Reuben’s Diner, Terry Lake has to navigate between chewing a mouthful while finding room to laugh — once at his NDP critic’s view of his political prowess and again at rumours Lake the taskmaster minister has chased away staff members in Victoria.

Lake has taken an hour to talk about his two years as health minister, which coincide with the mid-term mark of his B.C. Liberal government.

A week earlier, NDP Leader John Horgan and NDP health critic Judy Darcy rolled through town for a rally.

There, Darcy opined to KTW that Lake was good — at parroting government policy.

Hence Lake’s chuckle while masticating a few blocks from his MLA office.

“Judy and I get along very well and I’ve got great respect for her,” Lake says.

“But, we both have to play our roles in our respective parties.”

Being an MLA, Lake says, and especially a cabinet minister, is to be part of a team.

“Now, that doesn’t mean you have to be a sheep,” Lake says.

“Where I have a strong voice and where I am very much independent and influential, I think, is around the cabinet table, where I can influence policy and decisions.”

But, Lake notes in reference to Darcy’s quip, the public does not see any of that. ***

KTW FILE PHOTO

Health Minister Terry Lake announces an update regarding new funding of the Car 40 partnership between the City of Kamloops, Kamloops RCMP and Interior Health during a November 2014 press conference.

Running the health ministry is Lake’s second stint in cabinet since initially being elected in 2009. He spent two years as minister of environment, between the spring of 2011 and 2013.

Health, Lake says, is much larger in terms of workload volume, issues, budget — everything.

Consider: B.C.’s health-care budget consumes 42 per cent of the province’ annual budget of $45 billion.

“We spend $2 million an hour,” Lake notes.

“There’s literally hundreds of thousands of transactions that occur on a weekly basis and when something goes wrong — and, in any large organization, things are going to go wrong — then, politically, you take the heat for all of those incidents.”

Without a doubt, the Ministry of Health firings is as hot as it has been for Lake, even if he simply inherited the mess that

was made well before he became minister.

In June, British Columbia’s pre-eminent political columnist, Vaughn Palmer of the Vancouver Sun, took Lake to task after a lessthan-revealing press conference on the health ministry firings.

“This is not a minister who has dug deep for a definitive understanding into how things went off the rails,” Palmer wrote.

“Note the choice of words. He’s not aware. It is not his understanding.

One is left to conclude the minister only knows what he’s been told, after not asking too many follow-up questions.”

The controversy is still being played out and the firings occurred when Michael de Jong was health minister.

In fact, when government first publicly announced the dismissals and an investigation into alleged data breaches, the health minister

speaking to reporters, Margaret MacDiarmid, had been on the job for one day.

“In hindsight, and moving forward, when you’re doing something like holding a news conference, you have to be pretty sure and confident of what you’re dealing with,” Lake says, wondering aloud whether MacDiarmid would have made different decisions about the way the matter was conveyed to the public.

“I don’t know,” Lake says, answering his own question. “But, I think we’ve all learned from this. You have to be very, very thoughtful.” *** What’s the one thing the general public might not know about the health-care system?

“I think people have an idea of what the public health-care system is, which is quite different from what it really is,” Lake says, noting the sys-

GUESS WHO’S IN THE HOSPITAL?!?

tem is still evolving from a 1960s-era model, with built-in inertia making for slow change.

“Every time you make a change, someone is affected,” he says. “It could be the nurses. It could be the doctors.

It could be the laundry workers.

“There is great resistance to change because, while there may be a benefit to patients, there are people that feel their ox is being gored — and they resist.”

But, Lake is adamant his ministry has made significant changes in the past two years, specifically focusing on primary community care.

That is something with which critics like the NDP’s Darcy take issue.

“He’s good at making policy statements,” Darcy told KTW, noting Lake and other ministers appear to be on a tight leash that leads to Premier Christy Clark’s office.

Darcy said when discussing issues of the day, Lake tends to stick to talking points and rehashes the “rhetoric” of the government position on the subject at hand.

She pointed to surgical waiting times and the number of British Columbians without a doctor as an indictment of the B.C. Liberal health ministry under Lake and ministers MacDiarmid and de Jong before him.

Darcy cited the B.C. Liberals’ vaunted election campaign promise of 2013, “a GP for me,” which promised every British Columbian access to a family doctor by 2015.

That promise failed.

“He didn’t make the promise,” Darcy noted.

“But, he repeated it.” *** While Lake is just two years into his role as health minister, Gayle Duteil has been president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union for only 11 months.

In that time, the issue of security following attacks on nurses at psychiatric facilities like Hillside Centre in Kamloops has been at the forefront.

Yesterday, Lake was alongside Duteil in Vancouver as they unveiled a $2-million prevention program.

Duteil said she is “proud” the nurses’ union and the ministry are working jointly to address the issue.

And, while Duteil thanked Lake and the ministry for the commitment to address the epidemic of violence, she added there are 700 potential sites for this type of work.

The initiative is an example of what Lake calls a “convergence with the doctors, the nurses, the ministry and health

authorities we haven’t seen before.” *** The life of a cabinet minister is well-compensated. It is also one with very little downtime.

Lake notes he usually arrives in Victoria by 6:30 p.m. on Sunday and returns to Kamloops by about midnight on Thursday.

On the Island or in the Tournament Capital, there are functions to attend and a lot of work material to read.

When he can, Lake spends time with wife, Lisa, and friends and plays in the Kamloops Recreational Soccer League, where he has kicked around the ball with the same group for the past 16 years.

“Everyone knows I’m just one of the guys,” Lake says. “No one gives me a hard time about politics. They tackle me as hard as they tackle anybody else.” *** About those rumours of Lake being a taskmaster as minister, a source in Victoria told KTW Lake is known as a “screamer” and that staff has been shed.

While Lake counters the latter — he says staff turnover in his office has been “very low” — he does concede he is demanding.

“Anyone who works with me would not be surprised to know that I am a taskmaster, that I demand a lot of myself and from those whom I work with,” he says.

As for the final two years of the B.C. Liberals’ mandate, Lake looks around and likes the new blood, likes the energy.

“I don’t agree with everything we do,” he says.

“But, I think we get most things right.”

amloopsSouth Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone founded a successful technology company and sheepishly admits to having two BlackBerry phones.

They don’t leave his pocket during a hourlong lunch interview, however, and he won’t replace the analog timepiece on his wrist with an Apple Watch anytime soon to squeeze more productivity from his schedule.

During the legislative session, the rookie MLA with the second-largest capital budget in cabinet — after Kamloops counterpart and Health Minister Terry Lake— arrives back home late on a Thursday night, sometimes into the early morning hours.

He hits the road back to Victoria on Sunday afternoon.

When the legislature is not meeting, he can stretch those Sundays a few hours later.

Saturdays are typically reserved for attending events in the city and surrounding rural areas, including Savona and Chase.

On those precious Sunday mornings at home with wife Chantelle and their three daughters, the Blackberries are nowhere in sight.

“For the little bit of time I’m home, my wife and kids need me to be home — not just physically,” he says.

Little more than two years ago, Stone was a successful small businessman from Kamloops, a political unknown provincially who wanted to be in politics since high school, but had never held any kind of office.

His resume was burnished by his entrepreneurial success, but he was best known as a decades-long friend of Premier Christy Clark, going back to their days in the youth wing of the

Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s path from private businessman to member of B.C.’s cabinet began on this day, July 9, 2012, when he announced his candidacy in Kamloops-South Thompson.

B.C. Liberal Party.

“If people thought they could take advantage of a neophyte minister, they’ve learned otherwise,” said University of Victoria political-science professor emeritus Norman Ruff, noting Stone’s handling of B.C. Ferries as his toughest challenge.

“The ferries would be enough for any minister.”

Stone cut 8,000 sailings from B.C. Ferries’ schedule, cut seniors and employee discounts and axed a tourist sailing direct from Port Hardy to Bella Coola that critics and operators in the Chilcotin say starved their businesses.

He jumped into the complex strike at the Port of Vancouver — despite the fact it was a federal facility — and eventually created a new position to oversee licensing and set hauling rates after truckers complained they were being starved in cutthroat competition.

Stone ushered in a new 10-year transportation plan, raised highway speed limits and pushed for a law to punish left-lane hogs.

From the little (getting webcams installed within days of public complaints about the Halston Connector due

to work on Overlanders Bridge) to the large (quickly solving an issue over First Nations remains that halted construction on the TransCanada Highway east of Kamloops for more than a year), the rookie minister has a reputation as a tireless worker who gets things done.

“He’s moved quickly,” said Radio NL news director Jim Harrison “I think he’s a powerful guy in cabinet.”

Stone acknowledges the position carries its benefits in good-news announcements of transportation improvements — the Minister of Big Cheques and Smiles.

“In the Ministry of Transportation, it’s generally a lot of positive stuff and making announcements and strategic investment”” he says.

Then there is B.C. Ferries.

Stone sees progress in the fact the B.C. Ferries commissioner is forecasting fares to climb only at the rate of inflation for the next four years.

“I’m proud of the fact we’re the government — frankly, after 20 years of successive NDP and Liberal governments, we’re fixing ferries for the long term,” he says.

That “fix” included those eliminated sail-

ings, an end of the free rides for seniors Mondays through Thursdays and axing the service from the North Island to Bella Coola — a route that was only operating four months a year, losing $7.5 million a year and had just a 30 per cent utilization rate.

“It was a tough, tough decision because of the communities it served,” Stone says.

“All the businesses we were told would close — that hasn’t transpired.”

A study commissioned by West Chilcotin Tourism Association paints another picture, one of drastically lower passenger numbers and a devastating blow to regional tourism.

The replacement vessel carries only 16 vehicles. The study found passenger numbers decreased by nearly 50 per cent and tourism dollars dropped by $4 million.

“A lot of businesses have gone under,” said Petrus Rykes, who operates the Eagle’s Nest Resort in the Chilcotin and heads the association.

Rykes said Stone has carried the Liberal message of cuts and has been uncompromising, “It’s like talking to a brick wall.

“They’ve [Liberals]

been in so long, they’ve become arrogant and aren’t listening to the people.”

Stone is unapologetic about the changes and is forecasting better seas ahead for B.C. Ferries.

“The decisions I made were probably the decisions I agonized about more than anything else I’ve done in the ministry,” he said.

“But, the decisions I made were the right ones.”

The province and Stone became involved in the Port of Vancouver dispute last year, despite the fact everything on the dock is federal.

In addition to Ottawa’s involvement was Unifor, which represented some truckers, the B.C. Trucking Association and independent drivers.

“He assumed a leadership role early on,” said Louise Yako, president of B.C. Trucking Association, which

represents transport companies.

“It was a very difficult issue. There are so many factors and questions of jurisdiction.”

One of the results was the creation of a container trucking commissioner who issues licences and identifies rates to ensure better working conditions for drivers.

While the Liberals may style themselves as the free-enterprise party, Stone’s solution instead entailed more regulation to ensure better outcomes for drivers in return for peace at the docks.

NL’s Harrison acknowledged the city is home to power in cabinet it hasn’t seen in decades, reaching back as far as the 1980s, when Bud Smith and Claude Richmond were senior ministers in the Social Credit government. But, he said, today’s power couple hasn’t brought the same benefits.

“I don’t know if you can draw a direct parallel. When Claude and Bud were in cabinet, we had real action here,” Harrison said.

“I look at RIH — I always want more for my community. I was critical that other communities received more in capital.”

That action during Richmond’s early tenure included bringing the B.C. Lottery Corporation to Kamloops in 1995 — estimated in a recent report to be a $1.1-billion benefit to the city’s economy.

The Social Credit government of the day also built the Coquihalla Highway through to Kamloops, cementing the city’s status as a hub city for road and rail.

While Stone hasn’t relocated any Crown corporations, he did move the lottery corporation’s executive back to the city.

Newly installed CEO Jim Lightbody recently said four of eight senior executives will be based out of Kamloops, as will the next chief financial officer That includes the CEO, who was previously based out of Vancouver.

“It was drifting away from a head office in some respects,” Stone told lottery corporation employees gathered in the downtown building for an anniversary event.

While he’s had success on the provincial stage and at home, critics blame Stone and the B.C. Liberal government for failing to fix the Lower Mainland’s gridlocked road and commuter system.

A TransLink plebiscite to raise sales taxes to pay for more transit and buses failed. There is no plan to fix mounting problems and both municipal and provincial governments are pointing at each other.

The responsibility for TransLink was last month taken from Stone’s ministry and handed to Peter Fassbender, the new minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

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 provincial government and the B.C. Nurses’ Union for getting together and finding a million on each side to help fund a program designed to protect nurses and other staff at four psychiatric centres, including Hillside Centre in Kamloops.

There have been far too many assaults of nurses and it is good to see a concrete step being taken to address the problem.

More will need to be done, but the announcement yesterday is a solid start.

OUR

NOT: The common thug(s) who put an end to the travels of the Canadian-made Hitchbot, the hitchhiking robot.

Fittingly, the little guy’s demise came in the City of Brotherly Love — after all, Philadelphia is where they once booed Santa Claus at an Eagles’ game.

We suspect Bobby Clarke, who has always been a talented lumberjack when it comes to breaking limbs.

VIEW

HOT: The Y Dream Home’s arrival in Westsyde.

Also known as the training house for Thompson Rivers University students, the Y Dream Home will rise for the first time in the riverside neighbourhood.

A partnership between the Y, TRU and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, the 3,500-square-foot home is being built at 703 Hayward Place and will be won by the holder of a ticket in the 2016 Y Dream Home Lottery.

Tickets go on sale next April.

This year’s Y Dream Home Lottery raised $150,000 for Y programs.

LNG: A good or bad deal?

N

ow that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But, I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize marine impact.

Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear — they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legisla-

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA ture that concluded last month.

Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP Leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “. . . except in those cases where . . . it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously, there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy — in other words, a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees specialized trades, such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation, will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like

South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt to develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built.

It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. He disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes.

Add aboriginal revenue sharing — and we have a deal.

YOUR OPINION

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR YES, YOU CAN STICK IT TO BIG OIL: HERE’S HOW Editor: Re: Patrick Lamb’s letter of July 30 (‘Can any political party end the ripoff?’): The answer is sadly and simply no, but a powerful person can do something about high gas prices. Boycott gas. Just stop buying it.

There are alternatives.

First, ask yourself if you can make do with what you already have on hand.

Second, phone ahead. You may not even make the trip.

Next, look for transportation that doesn’t involve getting into your vehicle. Can you walk there? Can you cycle there? Can you take transit there? Can you travel with someone already going the same direction?

If you have exhausted all options, then you have to bite the bullet and drive. If you manage to avoid using your car half the time, you have stuck it to greedy Big Oil. Who am I to talk?

I am a husband and father of an eight year-old and I run a small urban farming business.

I get around almost entirely with a bicycle and eight-foot cargo trailer.

My wife and I have not owned a motor vehicle for 14 years. In the last few years, I have resorted to renting a car at Christmas to ferry the family to grandparents on the Shuswap.

I recently came across this saying recently: “I kept waiting for somebody to do something until I realized I am somebody.”

Lenard Segnitz Kamloops

YOU CHOSE SIDEWALK-LESS AREA Editor: Re: Kristen Mathis’ letter of July 31 (‘Barnhartvale needs sidewalks — now’): I am all for better basic infrastructure projects in Kamloops; however, building sidewalks in Barnhartvale and a second bridge across the Thompson River are two undertakings I cannot support.

Many years ago, we chose to live in Barnhartvale.

The key word here is “chose” because there wasn’t any sewer,

sidewalks and street lights, but that was fine.

However, when our children grew into toddlers, we decided to move to a flatter area of the city so our girls could ride bicycles and walk to school, something that was not going to happen in Barnhartvale, at least where we lived.

I guess the bottom line is, sometimes it is near impossible to bring conveniences to some areas of our city given prohibitive costs.

Barnhartvale, in my view, is a semi-rural region and, as such, sidewalks in many locations are just not warranted, nor feasible.

There are many other areas of the city that don’t have sidewalks and they are a lot easier and cheaper to put in.

I hate to say it, but if you don’t like it, you may have to move — like we did.

Sometimes, though, it is easier said then done.

Dave Brummund Kamloops

CITY FOCUSES ON SOUTHWEST SECTOR Editor: There will never be sidewalks in Barnhartvale.

I have lived in Barnhartvale for several years and have walked all the roads in the area.

Most are wide enough and/or have a paved shoulder.

However, letter writer Kristen

Mathis happens to live near and walk down the worst road in the city.

From Sunrise to Mcleod on Todd Road is narrow and in need of rebuild and has been complained about for several years — but, Mathis will have to wait until 2019 to have it fixed.

Unfortunately, city administration got council to approve spending $4 million on Columbia Street, which I believe only needed a couple of left-turn lights.

Don Porter Kamloops

WE NEED ARTS CENTRE DOWNTOWN Editor: Brava to letter writer Marilyn Wiwcharuk (‘Three cheers for PAC,’ Aug. 4): I am tired of citizens complaining that, since they don’t want a performing-arts centre, it shouldn’t be built.

Anyone who says we have lots of theatre space just hasn’t been trying to find theatre space in Kamloops for the past 10 years.

We need a centre to showcase our talent from Kamloops and provide out of town acts with a first-class theatre experience.

I would, however, urge city council to discourage the overuse of car transport with better bus service, park-and-ride options and other options in visiting downtown.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: $2 MILLION PROTECTION PLAN IN PLACE AT HILLSIDE AND OTHER PSYCHIATRIC CENTRES:

“The problem is the facility is not designed to handle the mentally ill who are particularly aggressive.

“As a result, staff are being assaulted due to this lack of foresight. The Riverveiw (Essondale) Hospital, for example, prior to it’s closure, was able to handle such patients.

It was another first for the training house project as organizers officially announced construction in Westsyde, where the initiative has never ventured.

The 2016 Y Dream Home that will rise at 703 Hayward Place will include close to 3,500 square feet of finished living space spanning three floors, along with four bedrooms.

Project manager Shaun Toplak of Absolute Homes said

JESSICA KLYMCHUK/KTW

he believes the design they’ve set out will suit the community well.

“I definitely believe in the program. It’s a great community event,” he said.

“Hopefully, we can make this the best one ever.”

president of the Central Interior chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) said it’s is a win-win for new developments as the house attracts upwards of 20,000 people who will tour the neighbourhood.

The 2015 Y Dream Home was built in Juniper, the first time that area has hosted the house.

“We got numerous proposals this year, but they are very enthusiastic out here, No. 1, and put together a very lucrative proposal. And, of course, it’s always nice to do something for the first

time,” McCurrach said of developer Septer Investments.

“If we keep going back to the same couple of neighbourhoods every year, we feel you might run the risk of losing enthusiasm.”

Students from Thompson Rivers University’s School of Trades and Technology started work on the house two weeks ago.

Residentialconstruction students and students from the plumbing and electrician programs will complete the house with some help from CHBA members before handing it over to the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA for its Dream Home Lottery.

This is the 26th year TRU and the CHBA have partnered for the charitable project and

the 20th year the Y has been involved.

The sale of the 2015 house raised more than $150,000 for various Y programs.

“The Y Dream Home Lottery is a fabulous project for the Y and, without it, our Y would be completely different,” said Y CEO Colin Reid.

“The resources, the community connectedness, the things we’ve been able to do as a result of the charitable net proceeds have just been crucial to the Kamloops Y,” he said.

“For us to have such a long-standing relationship with the community and the CHBA and TRU trades and technology, it’s just a wonderful thing.”

Tickets for the 2016 Y Dream Home will go on sale next April.

The BC Coroners Service will hold an inquest into the death of an Ontario man who was last year found unresponsive in his cell at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

Dylan Levi Judd died while in custody on Nov. 10.

The 20-year-old had been arrested in Sicamous on charges of being unlawfully in a dwelling house and possession of stolen property.

He was awaiting a bail hearing when he died.

The cause of Judd’s death has not been released.

According to a statement released by the BC Coroners Service, the inquest will aim to determine

the facts surrounding the death.

Coroners’ inquests take place before a jury and a presiding coroner.

Witnesses are compelled to give evidence under oath.

At the inquest’s conclusion, jurors can make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future.

Judd, who is from Douglas, Ont., is one of two prisoners to have died while in custody at KRCC in the last year.

On Jan. 19, 52-year-old Daryl Vic Belseck was found dead in his jail cell.

The BC Coroners Service said Belseck’s death is not suspicious.

It’s not yet known

if or when an inquest will take place into his death.

According to information from a court appearance in Penticton in May 2013, Belseck suffered a brain injury in 1999 when he was swarmed by a group of assailants who beat him with a baseball bat.

While in court to plead guilty to a number of offences, including assaulting a peace officer, Belseck told the court he was drinking at the time — despite a court order against it — to thin his blood because he couldn’t afford the medication necessary to treat an unspecified heart condition.

Dylan Levi Judd died on Nov. 10, 2014, while in custody in Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on minor charges.

On August 28, I’m inviting everyone over.

over drives, fours, sixes, LBWs, leg sweeps and wickets are terms unfamiliar to many in the Tournament Capital, but the Kamloops Cricket Club (KCC) speaks that language.

Made up nearly entirely of current and former Thompson Rivers University students from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the club has operated in relative anonymity since 2010.

The team had a modest beginning, with a group of four or five gathering with bats and balls on tennis courts or inside local school gymnasiums, occasionally finding a vacant grass field

to escape the pressures of exams, seminars and assignments.

Word spread quickly among the South Asian community at TRU — no surprise considering the game’s meaning in cricketloving countries.

“Cricket for Indian people is a religion,” said Prabhjeet Singh, one of the club’s founding members and current team captain.

“Whenever an international student comes to TRU, everybody is looking for some sort of a sport to enjoy and to have some relaxation.

“For Indian guys, the first thing they try to find is an opportunity for cricket.

“I didn’t know my team’s players in India, but we’ve become good friends and now we’re playing together.”

While pick-up games were happening long before 2010, it wasn’t until Amit Goel came on board that the KCC began to take shape.

An international student advisor at TRU, Goel formed an India Club and soon after began the process of establishing the cricket team, with the help of Craig Engleson, manager of activities, events and housing at TRU World.

“When I came here, we had some issues from Indian students, with drunk driving and intoxication downtown at pub crawls but, once I got here, I was the first Indian to be hired in the department and we slowly got students to start channelling their energy in the right direction, and I think the cricket team is part of that,” Goel said.

Goel also sees the sport as a way to unite students from South Asia, noting political conflicts that exist between nations on the Indian subcontinent can be quelled through cricket.

“To be honest, when they reach here, everybody calls them East Indian,” he said. “They don’t even ask what nationality you are.

You could be East Indian or from the Caribbean or Fiji or Mauritius, but they all get called East Indian. They realize there is no animosity here.

“They know if they don’t come together, the cricket team is not going to happen. We don’t have 5,000 students from each of these countries who can support each other.”

The team has come a long way in five years.

Don’t put a lid on the Ice Box just yet.

“I’ve got a couple people looking at it right now,” said Gary Hartnell, who owns and operates the Kamloops arena. “They want to maintain it as a rink.

“It’s just whether they come up with a good business plan and go to the banks and do the things you have to do to buy a business.”

The rink’s ice plant broke during an early July heat wave and Hartnell cannot afford to replace it.

If it is sold and turned into anything other than an ice rink, thousands will be left scrambling to find a place to play.

Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civic-facilities manager, said staff are fielding calls from many user groups which, for the time being, have been displaced.

“We’re certainly doing our best to help people, but what we find is the peakdemand ice, most times in between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., are pretty much at 100 per cent capacity seven days a week, with a few minor exceptions,” Putnam said.

“These are the times most of the requests are coming for. We already have a long list of historical groups that booked that ice, minor hockey at the top of that list.”

Dianna Hartnell, who has run Peter Puck classes in Kamloops since 1987, is fraught with concern her 800-or-so students will be left without a place to learn how to skate.

“I said to the clerk at

the city, ‘I’ll take an hour,’ and they’ve got no ice,” she said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.

“It’s not just me. It’s women’s hockey that’s been here since 1998, and men’s hockey and the Kamloops Vibe — and they say there’s no ice.”

Putnam said user groups that call are not often upset with the city, but distressed because plans in place for a winter’s worth of hockey are on the verge of being scrapped.

“If you’re a league organizer and you’ve already collected money and set a schedule, it’s kind of difficult to keep your teams together,” Putnam said.

Hartnell considered running Peter Puck in Logan Lake or Chase, but decided it is not a prudent business decision.

“I just don’t think it’s doable for parents and, some of these university kids I employ, I’d be worried about them driving out of town in the winter,” she said.

“I just don’t understand.

“They put that extra arena in at McArthur Island and there’s still no ice. I’m upset for the parents.

“Unless somebody buys the arena, I have no clue what I’m going to do.”

Gary Hartnell is working on it.

“There have been three or four tire-kickers I never heard back from again, but there are two people that are definitely interested who are dealing with my real-estate rep,” he said.

“I wish I could tell you more, but I can’t because I don’t know. I’m pretty hopeful for two of them.”

Local cricket squad chasing title From A13

In 2014, the KCC for the first time entered a team in the B.C. Mainland Cricket League, travelling to play nine of its 18 games outside the River City.

The league requires teams to enter its lowest subset, Division 6, and earn promotion to Division 5 by finishing first or second in the standings, which are well kept at bcmcl.ca.

Registered as Kelowna-Kamloops — players from each city combined to split the $6,400 registration fee, although KCC mem-

bers comprise most of the squad — the team ran roughshod over its Division 6 competition and was promoted to Division 5 this season.

“We hope we’ll win again and bring back the trophy again for Kamloops,” said Gaurav Batra, a recent TRU graduate and standout KCC batsman.

“We’re progressing and we’re on top of Division 5.”

Kelowna-Kamloops (11-4) has since

slipped to third in the Division 5 standings, with its next home match scheduled for Aug. 22, when the West Coast Tamils of West Vancouver come to the Tournament Capital.

The action gets underway at noon at Raemore Park in Rayleigh, the local team’s home ground maintained by the city.

TRU has pledged $1,850 and the City of Kamloops is expected to provide $500 to help students cover the cost of playing, which is between $12,000 and $15,000 for the team each season.

Batra, the KCC’s media liaison, is always looking for new sponsors and asking anyone interested in joining the team to contact him.

“We’re calling out to all of Kamloops, to whomever is interested in playing cricket, they can come,” said Batra, who can be

reached by email at kamloopscricketclub@ gmail.com.

“We are trying to spread the cricket community as far as possible.”

Indian Aroma jumped on board to offer discounted meals to the club, which is required to provide food for opposition at home games.

Access to a field closer to TRU would be ideal but, for now, club members are thankful to have the Rayleigh pitch and appreciate what the city has done to help.

“Most international students are away from their homes,” Singh said. “We would try and find some people and start playing cricket anywhere possible.

“If there is a street light glowing in the night, if we know that we can play cricket, we are there.”

Zacharias making a name on the water ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Zach Zacharias wasn’t always a provincial-calibre wakeboarder.

It was in the cold waters of Meadow Lake, Sask., that Zacharias first strapped on a wakeboard and, in those days, a slow pull behind the boat was

where he drew the line.

“I was kind of too scared to try anything,” Zacharias told KTW. “Two summers ago, I think it really clicked.”

In this, just his second year on the competitive side of the sport, Zacharias

ab CARSALES.COM KAMLOOPS, BC PROVRED YOUW’ROERK.A..PYO U D IVE YOU

is starting to make a name for himself on the water.

In 2014, he won Alberta’s wakeboarding provincial championship. This year, just a few months after moving to Kamloops with his father to get more time on the water, he captured a pair of silver medals at the Water Ski and Wakeboard B.C. (WSWBC) provincial championship, the Sproat Lake Wake Open.

Perhaps the most astounding part of Zacharias’ provincial weekend was that one of his medals came in a park event — hitting rails and jumps — which he had never done before.

“I’ve seen it lots on video and stuff, so I knew what I wanted to do, but it was definitely a lot different from riding wake,” the 17-yearold said.

“It’s really fun, something different.”

Despite growing up in Saskatchewan, Zacharias’ wakeboard-

ing career got a little help from B.C. in its youth. Vernon-based rider Nick Dorsey spent time coaching in Saskatchewan and it was there he showed a young Zacharias the ropes.

Zacharias is hoping

to ride with his mentor again this summer now that he, too, is based in the ThompsonOkanagan.

Riding provincially is just the beginning for Zacharias, who now calls Kamloops Lake his home waters. He

said he plans to take the sport as far as it will allow him — he’ll be heading down to Florida to wakeboard and train this winter and plans to continue to compete when the opportunities present.

Already a sponsored

rider, Zacharias hopes a move to becoming a full-time, professional wakeboarder is in the cards.

“That’s kind of the dream,” he said.

“It would definitely be something I’d try to do.”

Parapan Am Games set to open today in Toronto LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Elisabeth WalkerYoung watched from her Vancouver home as Canadian athletes shone in front of a jam-packed crowds at the Pan American Games last month.

Now it’s time for her team to do its part.

Canada is gunning for a topthree spot in the medals table at the Parapan Am Games, which open today, and, like its Canadian Pan Am predecessor, is fielding its biggest team ever — 216 athletes.

“Seeing their performances, and seeing them wear the red and white with pride, our athletes always build off of that,” said Walker-Young.

“Watching them and seeing Curt [Harnett, Canada’s chef de mission for Pan Ams] lead the team, I don’t know how we couldn’t come in and be proud.”

The four-time Paralympian in swimming is Canada’s chef de mission for a Parapan Am squad that is looking to get back to a lofty spot it once occupied among the world’s best.

At the Parapan Ams four years ago in Guadalajara, Mexico, Canada finished eighth in gold medals, and fifth in overall medals. Brazil dominated the Games, winning 197 total medals — 81 gold, 61 silver, and 55 bronze — and a year out from hosting the Rio Paralympics, will be a force to contend with in Toronto.

The United States won 132 medals (51-47-34) in Mexico, while the host country finished with 165 (50-60-55).

Canada brought home 63 medals from Guadalajara — 13 gold, 22 silver and 28 bronze.

“We used to be leaders in the Paralympic nations, the Canadian Paralympic goal is to become leaders once again in the Paralympic movement,” Walker-Young said.

Boccia player Marco Dispaltro will carry Canada’s flag into the opening ceremonies today at the new athlet-

ics stadium at York University.

Walker-Young, who won three gold, a silver and two bronze medals over the course of a career that spanned the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics to the 2004 Athens Games, said her heart rate “went up about a hundred beats per minute,” when asked about marching out with the Canadian team.

“Having been an athlete, I remember walking in at opening ceremonies when I was a 15-year-old,” she said.

“So right now it’s excitement, it’s a little bit of nerves. While I hung up my competition suit 10 years ago, my nerves are now for the athletes and I know how much they give up, I know how much they put in, so it’s a mishmash of all kinds of emotions.”

Walker-Young marvelled at the crowds that showed up for the Pan Am Games, despite fears that Toronto would never embrace the event. She hopes fans will show the same support for the country’s paraathletes.

“I’m really hoping they do,” she said.

“Even if you don’t know about a sport, or the specific rules, it’s easy to catch on, and it’s crash, bang, blood, sweat, tears, and successes and failures. If you love sport, you’ll love this.”

These are the largest Parapan Am Games in history, with 1,600 athletes from North, Central and South America participating.

Canada will be strong, WalkerYoung said, in what she called the country’s legacy sports: men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.

Fifteen sports will be contested: archery, athletics, boccia, cycling, five-a-side football, seven-a-side football, goalball, judo, powerlifting, sitting volleyball, swimming, table tennis, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair tennis.

All are qualifiers for next summer’s Paralympics.

TWO DIRT BIKES STOLEN FROM A TRUCK Sometime overnight on Monday, July 27, two dirt bikes were stolen from the back of a pickup truck that was parked in the driveway of the 2500 block of Sunset Drive. This would have taken at least a couple of people to unload the dirt bikes, roll them down the street to waiting truck or van. The dirt bikes are described as red Honda XR 100 with a white muffler guard and the other is a 2013 white Yamaha YZ 450F with a black and grey seat. The dirt bikes had been locked in the back

of the truck. These thieves will travel throughout the City looking for items to take. Once they have located the items they will wait until dark when there is very little if any traffic in the neighborhood. Please be aware who is in your neighborhood, contact the police right away if you notice something suspicious, they will attend and they will determine why the people are in the area.

If for whatever reason you may have seen something suspicious on Sunset

Drive that night, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous, only your information will be used never you name.

STOLEN MILITARY MEMORABILIA FROM CACHE CREEK The owner of a hotel in Cache Creek had some Military Memorabilia stolen from a storage locker in the hotel. It was discovered that the storage locker had been broken into on Friday, July 31st. There is a possibility that the suspect, had no idea what they took and the value of the items taken. The suspect took 6 military style daggers, the daggers are all

very unique with engraving on each of them of the Allied victories in the Pacific during World War ll. At the time of the theft, all 6 daggers were in a gold leaf framed with a black velvet background.

The daggers could have been easily removed from the frame and sold separately, to collectors or any individual.

If you have any information

on this theft or may know the whereabouts of theses daggers, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

LESSONS FOR CANADIAN LEADERS TO TEACH

SMALL GROUP OF RETURNING PLAYERS FIELDING QUESTIONS FROM YOUNGSTERS STEPHEN WHYNO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

As Connor McDavid and Max Domi make the leap to the NHL, Hockey Canada’s world junior summer camp features just five players who won gold last winter in Toronto.

Defenceman Joe Hicketts and forwards Lawson Crouse, Robby Fabbri, Brayden Point and Jake Virtanen share a bond from winning on home ice.

Their focus is now on how they spin that forward to pull together a brand new group.

At this camp, they’ve fielded questions from the 30-plus newcomers about what it was like to win.

“The biggest thing that they can share is the experience and what it entailed, how hard it was but how rewarding it was,” coach Dave Lowry said.

“For the players that haven’t experienced it yet, our expectation is the guys that have gone through the process and won, they share their knowledge.”

The knowledge is something the five returnees are taking to heart as they welcome being part of Lowry’s leadership group for the world juniors.

Point, Hicketts, Fabbri

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Joe Hicketts, left, Jake Virtanen and Brayden Point will be the only Western Hockey League players in the running to return to Team Canada for the 2016 World Junior Hockey Championship.

and Crouse were among the alternate captains for exhibition games this week, which is what they hoped for and expected.

“Putting those letters on some of the more experienced guys, even if they weren’t captains on their club team, I think they want to start to establish that leadership core for the December camp and pushing into the tournament,” Hicketts said.

Leadership for the

returning gold-medal winners means more than just wearing a letter — and each player has a lesson to impart now and in the coming months.

For Hicketts, a Kamloops-born defenceman, it’s making the team at long odds after he went undrafted and was not invited to summer camp a year ago. The undersized defenceman earned a contract from the Detroit Red

Wings at their development camp and impressed Hockey Canada enough that,

by December, he seemed like a lock for the world juniors.

A lot of players have asked Hicketts about his journey.

“If you would’ve asked me at this time last year, I would’ve said there’s no chance of making the world juniors,” Hicketts said.

“I’ve been telling guys: ‘Go back and work your

butt off. Everyone’s watching every game and you’ve got to play with every attitude that there’s going to be someone — whether it’s an NHL team, European team or from Hockey Canada — watching that game or know someone that’s at the game.’”

For Crouse and Virtanen, it’s about accepting smaller roles than they were accustomed to in order to make an impact for

Canada. First-round picks and big point producers, they were relegated to specialized bottom-six spots in Montreal and Toronto.

“It was easy: I was put into that role for a reason and that was to help win a gold medal,’’ Crouse said.

“We went and did that. I was very happy at the end of the day.

Any role you play on Team Canada, it’s an amazing feeling.”

For Fabbri, it’s about

dealing with adversity.

The St. Louis Blues prospect suffered a high-ankle sprain in the quarter-finals and had to watch as his teammates finished the job to win gold.

“That’s the way it goes sometimes,” Fabbri said. “It’s tough mentally. . . . You just have to take it in a positive way and just move forward.”

For Point, it’s about seizing opportunity.

Fabbri’s injury opened a prime spot for the Tampa Bay Lightning prospect, who appeared to be a long shot to make the team at the start of camp.

Point is already leading by example, as he had two goals and three assists on Tuesday against the Czech Republic.

The biggest thing Hicketts, Crouse, Fabbri, Point and Virtanen can tell their potential teammates is to be ready to adjust on the fly.

“The coaches are stressing that you have to be a very adaptable player,’’ Crouse said.

“You’re not always going to play the same situations as you are on your club teams.

They’re looking for adaptable players that can adjust real easy.”

Lewis hopes Toronto card will boost Canadian boxing BILL BEACON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Lennox Lewis wants to revive pro boxing in Canada.

The former undisputed world heavyweight champion is the frontman and one of a group of promoters hoping to take a sport that has faded everywhere in the country expect Quebec and put it back in the national consciousness.

“Montreal has carried the flag for the rest of Canada,’’ Lewis said yesterday. “Now I’m coming on board because I want the rest of Canada to come on board.

“I want to give an opportunity to young kids to box as professionals.’’

It will start with a

fight card on Sept. 11 at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto featuring Adonis Stevenson’s sixth defence of his World Boxing Council light heavyweight title against unheralded American Tommy Karpency. The card is tagged “KO in TO.’’ Montreal’s top promoter Yvon Michel will team up with Global Legacy Boxing, headed by Lewis and Toronto businessman Les Woods, and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment to put on the show. It will be part of fight manager Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions series on U.S. television.

It is the first world title fight in Toronto since Aaron Pryor defended his light welterweight belt against

Nick Furlano in June 1984.

If all goes well, there are plans for more fight cards in Toronto, perhaps at the Air Canada Centre, as well as shows in other Canadian cities including Vancouver and Calgary.

“It’s important that the rest of Canada realizes that boxing is available to them, that they don’t have to take a plane to Vegas, that they can be in driving distance of a great fight,’’ said Lewis.

The 49-year-old Lewis left for Britain to turn pro after winning gold for Canada at the 1998 Olympics in Seoul because there were few opportunities to make a boxing career in this country. Lewis was born in London but moved to Kitchener, Ont., when he was 12 and fought as an

amateur for Canada.

The 6-foot-5 Lewis went on to become a three-time heavyweight champ before he retired in 2004 with a 41-2-1 record.

Canadian boxing was in the doldrums in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Even Montreal’s Arturo Gatti headed to the United States to turn pro in 1991.

Michel said it takes committed promoters with the right financial backing to build up fighters in each market.

He started in the 1990s with a pair of promising middleweights, Stephane Ouellet and Eric Lucas.

“It took me seven years before bringing a world championship here,’’ said Michel. “Since then, we’ve done more than 30 world

championship fights.

“Eleven fighters from Quebec won a world title since then. It takes someone dedicated and it takes finding the resources.’’

He said it should be easier to build in Toronto, where a powerful sports company like Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is involved in the promotion and where they have an ideal ambassador for the sport in Lewis.

“I think we have the right match, the right television series and the right people,’’ said Michel. “I’ll be very surprised if it’s not a success.’’

Stevenson (26-1, 21 knockouts), a devastating knockout puncher, will be the clear favourite over fellow southpaw Karpency

(25-4-1), although he will draw criticism for defending his title against B-level opponents.

“He was the best available boxer who would agree to fight Adonis,’’ said Michel.

Premier Boxing has promising welterweight Errol Spence (17-0) in the co-feature against an as-yet undetermined opponent. And there is also a Canadian heavyweight title bout between 51-year-old Dononvan (Razor) Ruddock, an old Lewis victim who recently came out of retirement, against Dillon Carmen of Mississauga, Ont. Michel said he will continue to promote fight cards in Montreal and Quebec City.

MARGARET LILLIAN BENNETT

Remembering

RICHARD LLOYD March 25, 1919 to July 6, 2015 On July 6th, 2015, Richard Lloyd, at 96, left this world to go on a date. In his final years, he often spoke of his enduring love for his wife of 53 years, Win, who passed in 2002. On July 5th he said “I’m going fishing with my wife tomorrow.”

Those dearest to him were five children and their spouses (Dennis and Sandi, David and Maite Mayeta Cumba, Sandra and James Cluff, Sharon and Graeme Lindsay, Keith and Leanne) and nine grandchildren (Geoffrey Lindsay, Michelle Lloyd, Darrell Lindsay, Sabrina Griffin, Stephen Cluff, Matthew Cluff, Jasmine Lloyd, Soleil Lloyd and Nathaniel Lloyd Mayeta). He is also survived by his sister Helen Olsen, his step-sisters Barbara Swinton and Betty Thomas and his step-brother Mark (John) as well as many nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by Win, his brother James and his step-brother Charles.

Richard Lloyd, also known as Dick was born on March 25th, 1919, at the homestead in Peat, near Elk Point, Alberta, to Paul and Mary, and later grew up in Edmonton. He attended the Vermillion School of Agriculture for 2 years, but his passion was flying. He went to Vancouver and in 1939, joined the Seaforth Highlanders. His dream of flying ended when he was injured as a dispatch rider while in England. He returned to Vancouver in 1943 for a lengthy recovery at Shaughnessy and G.F Strong Hospitals. In 1947, he started working as a salesman for Vancouver Pacific Paper, which later became Canadian International Paper, until he retired in 1978. He married Win in 1949 and together they had five children, and raised them in Burnaby. In 2000, they moved to Kamloops, where they spent their remaining years. Richard spent his final years at Berwick Retirement Residences where he endeared himself to staff and residents.

Much of what shaped him was his early life on the homestead, and living through the Depression Era. He valued self-reliance, hard work, honesty, fairness and family values and passed these on to his children. He enjoyed music, dancing, fishing, hunting and cribbage. Family vacations were times of fun and teaching his children to enjoy the outdoors. It was important to him to be well dressed, well groomed and to have a sense of humour. He always had an eye for the ladies but proved to be a devoted husband and father. In his later years, Richard learned to go with the flow and be more accepting of help and to take life as it presented itself.

The family would like to recognize the efforts and care of the compassionate staff at Berwick who made his final years as comfortable and as satisfying as possible. In his final days, he was treated with devotion and kindness by the staff and left this world knowing that he was well loved.

The immediate family will gather in mid October for a remembrance and celebration of Richard’s life.

Our dear, sweet Mum, Margaret Lillian Bennett, aged 94, passed away peacefully at Saanich Peninsula Hospital on Thursday, August 6, 2015 surrounded with love by her daughters.

Forever cherished in memory by her three daughters, Ann Beddow of Sidney, Charmian Bennett (Glen) of Sooke, Judy Marshall (Emilio) of Kamloops, two grandchildren, Jeff (Moira) of Quesnel, Phil (Lisa) and two great-grandchildren, Sebastian and Max of Kamloops.

Margaret was born in Southampton, England on March 3, 1921 and later worked as an ophthalmic nurse where she met her husband George, M.D., F.R.C.S. (Now deceased).

In the early 1950’s, they spent time in North Africa where George was serving as ophthalmic surgeon to King Idris Senussi and the Government of Libya.

In January, 1958, the family emigrated from the U.K. to Canada, residing in Kamloops, then Saltspring Island and Sidney.

Mum had such a beautiful soul, was kind, compassionate and adored all animals. Her smile lit up the room and she will be terribly missed.

The family would like to thank the wonderful, caring staff at SPH ECU2 for their dedication, patience and humour, with a very special thanks to Curtis.

“Gone fishing with his wife of 53 years”

NORA STOCKS (Nee ALSOP) December 1, 1922 – August 5, 2015

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the passing of Nora Stocks at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House. She will be remembered by her husband, Donald Horace Stocks, their children: Gloria Humphrey, Susan Gilowski (Brian), Donna Stocks (Joe Szigeti) along with two daughters-in-law (Theresa and Kathy), ten grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. She also leaves good friends: Pauline Ament, Koji Kobayashi, Bob Hancherow and Frank Scordo. Nora was predeceased by her three sons: Trevor 1942-2014, Terrance 1956-2003 and Donald 1965-2003.

Nora was born in Newton Aycliffe, England and educated at St. Mary’s Collegiate and Durham University. During the Second World War, she met Donald who was serving with the R.C.A.F-428th Squadron and they were married at Darlington, England, before returning to Canada with their three young children on October 31, 1947. Nora was active in many varied local and provincial organizations while residing in Kindersley, SK. With the addition of three younger siblings the much larger family relocated to the Kamloops area in 1960 where they purchased and operated the Brocklehurst Town and Country Store until 1969. The family resided in the Brocklehurst area until 1983, when they relocated to Nelson, BC in an attempt for a more rural homestead for Donald Jr. This did not work as planned and the family returned to Kamloops in 1986 where they resided until Nora’s illness and recent passing.

Nora served as an Alderman on the newly incorporated Municipality of Brocklehurst and then continued as an Alderman with the Amalgamated City of Kamloops for three consecutive terms. Nora also served and was a very proud member of the Federal Civil Defense Corps. in Ottawa, the Royal Canadian Legion in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, the Thompson Nicola Regional District, the Cariboo-Thompson Regional Library Board and the Overlander Extended Care Hospital Board, until her retirement from politics in 1986. Nora was awarded the Order of Canada Medal in 1977 for her Outstanding Community Service from 1952 -1977.

As per Nora’s request and wishes there will be no memorial service or gathering.

Nora had many accomplishments throughout her many years and she touched everyone she met in some way. She will be greatly missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to meet her or know her. The family would like to thank all her care givers that attended her during her palliative care at home, all the RNs, LPNs and Volunteer caregivers at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House and her very special doctor, Dr. Sigalet.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made by way of donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House or the Canadian Breast Cancer Society.

The Angel On Your Shoulder

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Waldo, a little guy imbedded in a very detailed crowd of people.

He doesn’t stand out in a crowd so finding him can be quite a challenge.

Nathan stood out in a crowd.

He was the main prophet in the time of King David of Israel.

David was Israel’s greatest king and a man after God’s own heart. But, he had a weakness — lust.

David was out on his balcony one evening taking in the view of the city below him.

From that vantage point, he espied the beautiful Bathsheba taking a bath on her rooftop. He sent someone to find out who she was and learned she was the wife of one of

his soldiers, Uriah the Hittite, who was away on a military campaign besieging the city of Rabbah in Ammon (modern-day Jordan).

But, David was so infatuated with Bathsheba he had her brought into his bedchamber.

Some time later, Bathsheba sent a message to David saying she was pregnant.

Alarmed, David asked Joab, the general of his army, to send Uriah home.

When he arrived,

he asked him how the siege was going, then encouraged him to go home to visit his wife.

Basically, he was hoping to cover up his impregnation of Bathsheba.

But, instead of going home, Uriah slept in the courtyard with the king’s servants.

When David asked him why he didn’t go home, Uriah, a man of great honour, said, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents and my master Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing.”

What David did next was even worse than the first sin.

He sent a secret message to Joab, ordering Uriah be sent to the front line where the fighting was fiercest, then have the other sol-

diers back away so he would be killed by the enemy. And that is what happened.

So, after mourning the appropriate period, Bathsheba came to the palace to become one of David’s many wives.

Nathan the prophet asked for an audience with the king and told him a story.

There was a rich man with huge flocks who had a distinguished visitor.

His neighbour, a very poor man, had one little lamb which was treated like a family pet.

The rich man stole the poor man’s lamb, slaughtered it and served it to his guest.

King David was outraged at the story and said, “As surely as the Lord lives, this man deserves to die.”

Nathan thundered, “You are the man.”

He reminded David the Lord had made him king over all Israel, given him victory

after victory over his enemies, yet he had taken an honourable man’s wife and used vile treachery to have him killed.

David was remorseful and repented, but he ended up suffering negative consequences for his sinful deeds.

We have an election coming up.

Our “King,” Stephen Harper, is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, an evangelical Christian denomination.

It’s a church that prides itself on its faithful adherence to scripture.

And, like most churches, there is an expectation that those who blatantly flout the moral values of the church will face discipline.

But, where is its Nathan?

Where is the man of God who would rebuke King Stephen on his

failure to protect innocent life, his abandonment of the sanctity of traditional marriage?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor executed by the Nazis, wrote an essay, On Civil Courage, while in prison.

Bonhoeffer wrote: “People flee from public altercation into the sanctuary of private virtuousness.”

But, anyone who does this must shut his mouth and eyes to the injustice around him.

Who stands fast?

Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, principles, conscience, freedom or his virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God — the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God. Jesus warned that

not everyone who calls him Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, only those who actually do God’s will.

Lip service or nominal association with an evangelical church just won’t cut it.

Harper is a decent manager, but it’s obvious he values political expediency more than remaining true to Christian moral values.

This is no time for timidity. As a former elder of the Alliance Church, I say to Prime Minister Harper, “You are the man.”

espite warnings about Beijing’s pollution, the scene from my Ritz-Carlton Hotel suite’s windows on this morning, encompass clear blue skies above a panoramic view of the city’s financial district.

In a courtyard below, people practise Tai Chi exercises, their elongated forms in the bright sunlight, twisting and bending in a seemingly choreographed shadow play.

First up on my day’s itinerary is a pedicab ride to a traditional hutong settlement in Beijing’s old city quarter.

The word hutong meant water well back in the 13th century, but today it refers to a colony of dwellings set within a warren of alleyways.

It’s hard to imagine living here, cheek-by-jowl with your neighbours, where the air is thick with cooking aromas and noisy vendors and where drains with kitchen waste or ditch water flow

past one’s door.

Yet, even in this ants’ nest of homes, each dwelling has its own character: specially crafted goodluck stones placed below lintels of a doorway for example, or lovingly watered flowering plants.

Emerging from the hutong, a pleasant tree-lined avenue lies between the sun-flecked Houhai Lake on one side and about a hundred restaurants and bars on the other.

Further on, stalls display souvenirs, toys and clothing items and locals and visitors jam the road as far as the eye can see.

Cyclists weave through the throngs and three-wheeled vehicles, horns blaring, steer through the melee.

Chinese pop music blares from a shop selling CDs and the smell of spicy fried noodles wafts out from sidewalk food kiosks.

On every visitor’s itinerary is

Beijing’s Imperial palace, instantly recognizable from the set of The Last Emperor.

As I walk through the majestic entrance gate into the Forbidden City, there is a concerted “Aaah!” from the crowd at the first sight of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, its fluted gold-glazed tiles shimmering in the afternoon sun.

This was the centre of royal pomp and power where formal ceremonies — coronations, imperial weddings and investitures — would have taken place during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Only the Emperor could tread The Imperial Way that I, along with crowds of camera-toting tourists, stroll along so casually today.

Moving from one courtyard to the next, it’s as though I am unfolding a multi-layered treasure.

Each gate opens to a new vista, with palaces bearing poetic titles: The Palace of Heavenly Purity, once the private dwelling of the Emperor represents the Yang (heavenly energy) while The Palace of Earthly Tranquility representing the Ying (earthly energy) was the home of the Empress.

power, is the predominant colour throughout the city and every palace boasts flamboyant ceilings with intricate interlocking wooden painted tiles.

Magnificent cupolas, embellished by jade green and gold ceramic designs and a frieze of nine imperial dragons runs along a wall by the side of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The charismatic Dowager Empress Cixi, who rose from being a concubine to become Qing Dynasty Emperor Xienfeng’s Imperial Consort, is a presence that dominates the elabourate Summer Palace.

Built on the shores of manmade Kumming Lake, the setting is idyllic.

The Long Corridor that runs alongside Kumming Lake, lends itself to an imagined scene: the dowager empress being carried in a palanquin along with her entourage of lady attendants.

Cool summer breezes would have wafted across the lake and, perhaps, she too would have paused to contemplate the rich paintings that adorn the cross beams and walls, along the entire 728-metre length of the corridor.

Would she have gazed up

the hillside at the Temple of Longevity while sipping tea in the exquisite Marble Boat Pavilion?

The next afternoon, I stand on the walkway looking out from the ramparts of the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China, gazing at the same scene thousands of workers and soldiers would have looked out on from the sixth century onwards.

There is an overwhelming sense of the passage of time embedded in the very stones on which I’m standing.

I try to wipe out the clicking of cameras and the noise and chatter of hundreds of tourists and envision a soldier more than 1,400 years ago in one of the lookout towers, perhaps eating his lunch and chatting to a comrade. Or doing something even as mundane as blowing his nose.

A gust of wind ruffles my hair just as it would have ruffled his — and I can’t but think that a human foible or two is what breathes life into the grand, yet impersonal, sweep of history.

A man and a woman are in custody facing robbery charges after a pedestrian was mugged for her cellphone in Brocklehurst.

Police say they received a report of a robbery at Parkcrest Avenue and Schreiner Street at about 7:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

Witnesses told investigators a woman had been bear-sprayed and assaulted by another woman and had her cellphone stolen.

A witness was also bear-sprayed by a man when he attempted to follow the suspects.

“Additional wit-

nesses were able to lead police directly to the suspects, who were taken in to custody without further incident,” Kamloops RCMP Const. Jason Epp said.

Epp said the victims were treated at the scene for minor injuries and bear-spray decontamination, adding the stolen cellphone was recovered and returned to the victim.

Kathryn Hope Thomas, 28, and Chad Vincent Patrick Raedeke, 35, are each charged with one count of robbery. Raedeke is also facing an additional count of assault with a weapon.

There has been a delay in the re-opening of the Canada Games Pool, which was originally set to resume operations today. Instead, it is scheduled to re-open on Monday.

The pool in the Tournament Capital Centre was closed on July 23 following a break in the twoand-a-half foot pipe that supplies water. City staff decided to combine the estimated $10,000 repair job with annual maintenance, which normally closes the pool for two weeks beginning at the end of August.

Mulcair says choice is between Tories, NDP COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The first televised debate will give voters an opportunity to see that the Oct. 19 election is about choice, New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair said yesterday.

Speaking at a campaign rally hours before the face-off with his three opponents, Mulcair defined that choice as between the Conservatives under Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the NDP. “Mr. Harper has given us eight deficits in a row, $150 billion in new debt . . . and he’s got one of the worst job-creation records in Canadian history,’’ Mulcair told enthusiastic supporters.

“You have to go all the way back to the crisis of the 1920 to find someone with a worse economic record.’’

An NDP government, he said, would do better.

It would kick-start the economy with investments in infrastructure, champion manufacturing, and lower small business taxes.

The debate featuring the four main party leaders marks the first time Mulcair will be participating in such a tussle.

Mulcair, 60, said he was looking forward to the tangle that many pundits say can have a profound impact on a leader’s electoral fortunes.

Mulcair said the NDP wants to replace the “politics of fear and division with the politics of hope and optimism.’’

During his familiar stump speech, the NDP leader declared that Harper’s approach has been a failure — leaving the middle class struggling to make ends meet.

He pledged again to repeal Harper’s “reprehensible’’ Bill C-51, which expands the powers for the country’s spy agencies but has been widely criticized

Sask. man dies in Shuswap Lake KELOWNA — A 24-year-old man from Saskatoon, has been identified by the BC Coroners Service as the victim of swimming accident in Shuswap Lake.

The service said Scott Kevin Glen was staying with friends on a rental houseboat moored at a marina near Sicamous, in B.C.’s Interior.

In the early morning of Aug. 4, he and a friend were swimming off the deck of the houseboat when Glen didn’t resurface.

A RCMP dive team found the man’s body later that morning about 15 metres below the surface.

The coroners’ service and the RCMP are investigating the death.

He said the NDP would also scrap income splitting and lower the retirement age from 67 to 65.

“After Oct. 19, your NDP MPs are going to repair the damage done by Stephen Harper,’’ Mulcair declared.

He also attacked the prime minister for failing to attend a single meeting of the Council of the Federation, a gathering of the country’s first ministers.

As prime minister, Mulcair said, he would have no hesitation in sitting down with the premiers to discuss federal-provincial issues.

The party leader again touted his plan for a $15-a-day national child-care program, saying it would benefit many families and be good for the overall economy.

Harper spent yesterday preparing for the debate, while Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau offered only a photo opportunity, saying he would answer questions at the debate.

Hot destination for car lovers this weekend JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

ob Nyeste always wanted a Cobra.

In the early 1960s, American automotive designer Caroll Shelby designed the car that blew other models out of the water.

“They cleaned up everything that there was in racing, beat all the Corvettes and all the Ferraris,” hobby mechanic Nyeste said.

“For a little homebuilt car — and that’s what Shelby’s was — it went out and cleaned everyone’s clock.

“Of course, it made the cars very famous.”

It took Nyeste one year and 1,500 hours to build his replica 1965

Cobra, starting only with the body, chassis and some suspension.

It made its debut at Hot Nite in the City last year and will appear again tomorrow.

His is just one of more than 350 cars that will line the downtown streets tomorrow for the Show and Shine and draw a crowd upwards of 30,000 alongside Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Ribfest.

Registrants hail from as far as Oregon, bringing everything from muscle cars, hot rods, vintage cars, bikes and rat rods to exotic sports cars, tuners, big rigs and buses.

“We have a good following. In my opinion, we have a reputation for being a very good show,” said Ron Popove, senior director of the Hot Nite in the City Society.

Hot Nite is celebrating its 21st anniversary and has evolved from

covering one city block to 14 and from 20 cars to 400 last year.

It started as a Thursday-night attraction for people travelling on the Rocky Mountaineer, Popove said, but has grown into a destination event for car lovers.

“I like just seeing what everyone shows up with, their pride and joy,” Nyeste said.

“We’re starting to see some young people come out of the woodwork now who are starting to appreciate cars which, for a while, it looked like we weren’t going to see any young people.

They were more interested in their stereos.

“When you see a project that’s been built by father and son, the ones who really put their time and effort into a car, it is neater in some ways.”

The show starts at 10 a.m. and streets will reopen to

The fourth annual Ribfest is set to have another great year alongside Hot Nite in the City.

Six championship ribbers from as far as Ontario will compete in the rib cook-off in Riverside Park.

First and second place, plus best sauce, will be determined by a panel of local celebrity judges.

Attendees will vote for their traffic at 6 p.m.

Traffic access will be blocked from First Avenue to Sixth Avenue along Victoria Street and between Seymour Street and Lansdowne Street.

From 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. trophies will be

awarded at the main stage at Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue, starting with Friday’s poker-run prizes.

Awards for the Show and Shine include Best in Show, speciality awards, perpetual trophies, class trophies

COMMUNITY Q: WHY ARE BAGS AROUND CITY TREES? A: The bags help water city trees and, apparently, they aren’t new.

City arbourists have been attaching green Treegator bags to the base of city trees for “a convenient method of placing a large amount of water at an individual tree without wasting water on overland surface drainage,”city arbourist Brian Purves told KTW in an email.

Each bag holds 55 to 95 litres of water, depending on the tree size, and includes small drain holes in the bottom, allowing water to drain for five to nine hours.

“This slow release watering ensures the

water is seeping down into the soil to the roots of the trees,” Purves said.

“We have been using these water bags for quite a number of years already, but we have some in higher visibility areas this year.”

With drought conditions throughout B.C., Purves noted numerous municipalities use the method.

On most days, life moves quickly.

At what can feel like Mach speed, we rush from task to task, place to place, meeting to meeting, activity to activity, sometimes without giving much thought to our surroundings.

For more than a decade, Slow Food Cycle Sunday has been slowing us down in the best way possible, giving us the opportunity—the permission, in fact—to reconnect with nature, with our environment and with our community.

On August 16, residents and visitors alike will flock to the fertile Pemberton Valley just north of Whistler, for a day of two-wheeled travel along the Pemberton Meadows Road, exploring the farmland, meeting local growers and sampling the bounty that they provide.

The “farm to table” culinary concept is one that

PHOTO BY MIKE CRANE COURTESY TOURISM WHISTLER

many Sea to Sky area restaurants have embraced for years, showcasing local fresh products on their menus for diners to enjoy.

Founded in 2005, SFCS organizers have called the ride, “Sea to Sky’s signature agritourism event” connecting consumers and farmers and showcasing the area’s breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

Lisa Richardson, one of the co-founders of the event says, “All the farms that open up their gates for Slow Food Cycle are working

farms, and family farms, not massive agribusiness enterprises, so it’s still, I find, such a hopeful and empowering thing, to be invited onto the farms and to get a chance to connect with the roots of our food.”

The fifty-kilometre ride is a slow meander up and down the Pemberton Meadows Road. Travel at your own pace and visit Pemberton farms and vendors along the way; purchase local produce and crafts, chat with new and old friends, and take time to embrace

your surroundings. This is not a race. Bring your own bike, or rent one in Whistler or Pemberton. www.whistler.com/activities/biking/ rentals/ If you’re driving to Pemberton, try to carpool and look for signs of where to park and register.

This year’s event takes place on Sunday, August 16.

Participants can pre-register online. The cost is $5 for individuals or $20 for a family. Event-day registration takes place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The event goes until 3 p.m. For more information, visit Tourism Pemberton www.tourismpembertonbc.com.

A few tips from organizers on how to best experience SFCS: pre-register, get on a bike, keep right, bring food and water, bring a pump and a patch kit just in case, leave dogs at home, plan your ride, wear a helmet and last, but most certainly not least, enjoy!

Ribfest is the Daybreak Rotary Club’s biggest fundraiser and last year brought in just over $90,000 for youth programs.

“We are certainly hoping to do that and better this year,” said co-chair Bryce Herman, adding all the dollars raised stay in the community.

“We’re hoping to see 10 to 20 per cent growth and we will see all of that because it grows exponentially every year.

“We have people asking all the time about it — ‘When is Ribfest coming?’”

This weekend, six championship ribbers will go head-to-head in Riverside Park for first and second place, as well as for the best sauce award. The event will be judged by local celebrities tomorrow afternoon with winners announced on Sunday. A people’s choice award will also be up for grabs for the fan favourite.

“They’re professional ribbers and these guys compete all over North America, so, without a doubt, the quality of what is down there and the level of what they can do in production is pretty amazing,” Herman said.

The weekend features live entertainment at the Rotary Bandshell and many vendors throughout the park.

New this year is a family-friendly beverage garden with 350 seats near the main stage.

The fun zone for children is also expanded, with entertainment and activities for kids.

The Lions Club will be hosting a pancake breakfast in the park on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. alongside the Burning Barrel Invitational Hot Show — a small car show with a trophy for the best car of the day, chosen by the public.

Ribfest runs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. today, tomorrow and Sunday.

WORD SCRAMBLE

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!
