One man’s drive to bring the outdoor theatre experience back to Kamloops

andon Muzio believes he’s not alone in his thinking when driving down the Halston Connector. “I guarantee you everyone is like, ‘Hey, why isn’t the drive-in theatre working anymore?” he told KTW of the derelict facility that once screened movies to a field full of people in vehicles. It’s why the 36-year-old clothing store owner is hoping community support and funding can bring movies back to the outdoor screen that still stands watch over an empty field — or lead to a new drive-in theatre in Kamloops. Shortly after starting an online campaign to raise funds,

restore and, eventually, reopen the old drive-in, Muzio was the subject of some skepticism online, with some questioning the motive. Following an interview with KTW on his plans, Muzio posted on the online funding site, which had raised $10 as of yesterday. “It has come to my attention that this property is owned and the drive-in itself is bankrupt,” Muzio said. “This does not mean this gofundme was a scam. It was an idea I had to get a drive in back to Kamloops. I apologize to anyone who donated and I will gladly refund the money if you can contact me. “However, I am still very interested in having the city of Kamloops have a drive-in theatre once again and if we can find suitable land and enough

people interested in moving forward with this, then you can contact me on Facebook. “It wasn’t my intention to upset or misdirect anyone. I just have a passionate and driven soul to do positive. Maybe we can come together to build a new drive-in location. Donating doesn’t even have to be in the form of money. Land, building supplies and volunteering our time to make this a reality is possible.” Muzio will keep the online funding site — gofundme.com/ kamloopsdrive-in — active for a week to determine how much interest his idea generates. “Kamloops is such a great place for a drive-in theatre,” Muzio told KTW, noting the dry climate.

The extended 11-week federal election campaign allows candidates in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo to each spend $266,000 — the secondhighest limit in B.C. and one of the largest in Canada. But, candidates for the four parties said they are unlikely to come close to the maximum allowed under law. “Now with the extended campaign, it will go up,” NDP candidate Bill Sundhu said of election spending before the Oct. 19 voting date. Former NDP candidate Michael Crawford spent $69,000 in the 2011 campaign and $74,000 in 2008 — campaigns that were half the length of this year’s run-up. The biggest spender in the past two elections was incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, who spent $95,000 in 2011 and $82,000 in 2008. None of the four local campaigns would provide a proposed budget, calling it a part of their strategy. The larger spending cap in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo comes from a formula based on eligible voters, but increases the amount based on geographical size. That allows candidates in large, rural ridings to spend more to account for increased costs. McLeod opened her office on Aug. 1 under a three-month lease. She said the lease was planned regardless of the timing of the election call. Opposition parties are critical of the longer election period, saying it will drive up costs for taxpayers, who pay much of the cost through tax rebates and write-offs.

60,000 take in Rotary Ribfest

Spencer Park of Prairie Smoke & Spice prepares another rack of ribs for the masses to enjoy during the fourth annual Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Ribfest in Riverside Park. About 60,000 people attended the three-day event, which raises money for local causes. To see more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and facebook/com/kamloopsthisweek. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Organizers of the Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Ribfest don’t yet know how many ribs crowds at Riverside Park worked their way through this year, but it appears as though the annual event has kept pace with previous years. Spokesman Bryce Herman said attendance at this year’s three-day celebration of meat was about 60,000 visits in total, slightly up from last year. “I feel we did as well, if not slightly better, than last year because of the sheer volume of people,” he said. Saturday continued to be the busiest day for the event, but Herman said Friday saw a “huge increase” in traffic, with an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 of the weekend’s visits coming on the first day, about 25 per cent more than in 2014. Herman said the increase on Friday is a sign the event has settled into its place in the Kamloops landscape. “People in the downtown are recognizing the event begins at 11 a.m., so they’re coming down for lunch,” he said. “We saw a number of people from BCLC and the accounting firms and the banks and so on coming down to grab lunch on Friday.” Herman said an expansion of children’s activities and a new tribute band series during the evenings, both new for this year, were well-received, as was the dragon boat festival also taking place in the park . It will be about two weeks before the club knows how much this year’s event raised. Over its first three years, the event raised a combined $180,000. Herman said the money from Ribfest stays in the community, with a focus on funding youth programming.

OVERDOSES OVERTURNED DALE BASS • STAFF REPORTER • DALE@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

Today’s new reality for medical staff like Ian Mitchell and Kirsten McLaughlin is simple. “In the old days, you’d buy drugs and wonder if there was really nothing in them,” Mitchell said. “These days, you buy drugs and worry you might die.” Mitchell, a doctor, and McLaughlin, a publichealth nurse, have been leading the way in dealing with the situation, running the first program in Canada that sees the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital dispensing naloxone kits with the tools needed to help someone overdosing on an opiate. Naloxone (best known by the trade name Narcan) is an opiate antagonizer, a drug that can quickly reverse an overdose from opiates. The beauty of it, McLaughlin said, is if it’s used on someone who is not overdosing but showing similar symptoms — someone very drunk, for example — it won’t harm them. The kits are easy to use, but require some education first, McLaughlin said. They come with gloves, two syringes with needles that immediately retract after being used, two vials of naloxone and a container to store them, along with alcohol swabs. There’s also a special type of breathing mask with a protective barrier, should the person administering the drug need to do resuscitation, as well. With more heroin, oxycodone, heroin and Percocet on Kamloops streets, Mitchell and Kirsten McLaughlin want to see the program expand. Since March 2014, 44 kits have been handed out at the RIH ER and there have been three documented cases of their use reversing overdoses in Kamloops. Mitchell said a drug user went to the ER to get one of the kits. He learned how to use naloxone and took it home just in case it might be needed. “That night, he used it on a buddy,” Mitchell said. Since starting the program at RIH, two other hospitals — Royal Alexandra in Edmonton and St. Paul’s in Vancouver — have begun dispensing the kits. Mitchell and McLaughlin have spoken at many conferences, workshops or gatherings about the success of the Kamloops program. Recently, for example, they spoke at a gathering in Alberta, a province that saw more than 100 deaths last year due to fentanyl. In the Interior Health Authority region, another 588 kits have been distributed through other health-care facilities and organizations,

including ASK Wellness Centre. They are needed, Mitchell said, due to the influx in B.C. of fentanyl, most often masquerading as oxycodone tablets. It’s led to four deaths in Vancouver in the past two weeks, including a 17-year-old boy, a couple in their early 30s who had a young child and a 31-year-old man. On the weekend, Vancouver saw 16 overdoses police said are linked to pink heroin laced with fentanyl. “People are buying some pills and just expect to have a good time,” McLaughlin said. “They don’t know they’re buying fentanyl.” Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Mitchell said he has also heard the drug is being mixed in with cannabis, which is why the B.C. Centre for Disease Control urges users to know the source of their drugs, rather than advise against using drugs. “We know people will use drugs,” Mitchell said. “This is about harm reduction.” There’s an education component to the kits, McLaughlin said. That was one of the issues debated before deciding to make the kits available in the ER. “It’s not like you can go home and practise on an orange,” she said, noting the kits are designed to be easy to use. Injections are to go into a muscle. Mitchell added he’s hopeful Health Canada will soon approve an aspirator that can be attached to a syringe, removing the need for a needle. Another reality, he said, is while intravenous drug users are comfortable around needles, most people aren’t. In the need for quick action to use naloxone, any hesitation can make the difference between success and, potentially, death. It’s why the pair wants to see the kits in more locations. There are four other locations in the city where the kits can be accessed: Baker Clinic at 430 Fifth Ave., Kamloops Methadone office at 103-220 Third Ave., King Street Clinic at 126 King St. and Interior Chemical Dependency Office at 239 Lansdowne St. Other locations throughout the IHA area can be found by inputting a community or postal code online at towardtheheart.com/site-locator.

Nurse Kirsten McLaughlin and Dr. Ian Mitchell run the first program in Canada that sees an emergency room — the ER at Royal Inland Hospital — dispense naloxone kits designed to reverse overdoses.

Younger users Opiate use in Kamloops is rampant, said one of the workers who deals with it daily — and those taking the drugs are getting younger. Debbie Rustand, the detox supervisor at Phoenix Centre, said she’s seeing more people “dabbling in opiates” in the 18-to-24 age range, a group that used to look to other drugs like cocaine for experimentation. “It’s everywhere,” she said, noting the centre sees three to five people every week who are learning how to use the naloxone injections and taking home kits in case they ever need them. Rustand said Kamloops is seeing what other B.C. communities are confronting — fentanyl that looks like oxycodone and is mixed in with marijuana and other street drugs so the user doesn’t know what they’re taking. “It scares me as a detox worker and it scares me as a mother,” Rustand said. “These are young people who started [drug use] in a party atmosphere and they’re using opiates. It’s rampant. It’s everywhere.” It’s one of the reasons the centre joined the RIH program last fall, providing naloxone kits and the education needed to identify an overdose and use the kit. The centre, located behind RIH, treats up to 1,000 people annually in its detox program.

2015/16 FIELD LACROSSE SEASON NOW OPEN Field lacrosse is Canada’s original national sport, and is played during fall and winter seasons.

Stabbing a loss-prevention officer with a dirty needle has cost a Kamloops man with hepatitis C more than two years of freedom. Jonathon Fernandez was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday to 31 months in jail after being found guilty of aggravated assault. The 42-year-old was charged after an incident at Extra Foods in North Kamloops on March 27. Court heard a loss-prevention officer spotted Fernandez trying to steal Lakota back cream and followed him out of the store.

When confronted, Fernandez pulled a needle on the worker and started swinging. The worker was struck in his left palm when the needle became embedded in his hand. Fernandez was eventually subdued and arrested by police. Crown prosecutor Joel Gold said the victim underwent 28 days of medication and is still being regularly monitored by doctors. “You’ve got the potential of transference of life-threatening diseases, you’ve got the anxiety of the victim,” Gold said. “The good news is that he’s so far clear and the hope is that will continue to be the case.”

Court heard Fernandez has a lengthy criminal history with more than 40 convictions, seven of which have been for violent offences. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley handed Fernandez a 31-month sentence in a federal penitentiary, to be followed by one year of probation. “I’m terrified of going to a federal penitentiary,” Fernandez said in court. “I’ve heard stories of what goes on in there. I’m scared to death but, at the same time, I’m a God-fearing man and I’ll go down whatever road the Lord has chosen for me.” Fernandez was also ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

Mounties reunite instruments with musician It was music to the owner’s ears. Kamloops Mounties have returned thousands of dollars worth of music equipment to its owners after thieves broke into a vehicle in the early-morning hours of Saturday. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the investigation led police to identifying suspects and executing a

search warrant on an apartment unit on Lansdowne Street. A search of the unit led to the recovery of property stolen from the vehicle, including the musical equipment, in addition to four long-barreled firearms. Bush said the origin of the firearms is still under investigation. Three Kamloops men are scheduled to appear in court

on Monday to face firearms-, theft- and possession of stolen property-related charges. • Kamloops Mounties are investigating the possible theft of mail from community mailboxes in the Cherry Creek area. The mailboxes, located west of Kamloops, were forced open and likely had mail taken, according to Const. Jason Epp.

The mailbox locations included Gardie Road, Rodeo Drive and Beaton Drive . Epp said drivers travelling west on Highway 1 may have seen the incident that occurred before 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5. Anybody with information please is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-314-1800.

Accused killer of uncle on trial TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The trial of an Ashcroft man accused of murdering his uncle last summer began in a Kamloops courtroom yesterday, with the accused muttering to himself and turning often to stare at people seated in the gallery. Shane Gyoba, 29, is charged with seconddegree murder. His uncle, Ed Gyoba, was killed on June 2, 2014, at a home on Cedar Crescent in Ashcroft. The first Crown witness, RCMP Sgt. Paul Bouwman, showed the court hundreds of photos of the crime scene — most focusing on the home’s yard, where the victim’s body was found. Bouwman said officers set up a tent to protect the body from the sun. Later in the day, he said, the tent was surrounded by tarps and air-conditioning was blasted inside. Details of the kill-

ing have not yet come out in court, but Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said the victim died as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head, resulting in a fractured skull and fractured nose. Flanagan said he expects a neighbour to describe in court what he witnessed the day of the alleged murder. According to Flanagan, it took the neighbour “some time to process” what he saw. Throughout Bouwman’s evidence, Gyoba repeatedly turned to offer long stares at the half-dozen people seated in the gallery. An extra sheriff was also in the courtroom for added security. In addition to the stares, Gyoba also muttered incoherently multiple times. At one point, while Flanagan was addressing concerns that might be raised about Gyoba’s mental health, the accused said “Mr. Shane Gyoba is not mentally

ill. Mr. Ed Gyoba was.” The trial is slated

to last three weeks, but Flanagan said he

expects it to wrap up after two weeks.

$40-million casino set to open AUG. 19 IS WHEN FORMER RONA STORE BECOMES CASCADES TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

Resource Recovery Centre Public Information Meeting

The City of Kamloops is proposing to purchase the Owl Road Landfill and establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard. The cost to purchase the site, reduce the size of the existing landfill operations, and begin an RRC is estimated at $10 million. Administration proposes that the purchase be funded through debt and the debt be serviced through landfill tipping fees. There would be no impact on taxes, solid waste rates, or landfill tipping fees.

When the doors to Cascades Casino open on Aug. 19, Kamloops gamblers and diners will experience a big step up from the current gaming facility on Victoria Street. Gateway Casinos CEO Tony Santo took reporters on a tour of the $40-million facility on Friday as a small army of construction workers put the finishing touches on the facility. Cascades Casino is home to three restaurants, a lounge and a casino floor featuring 500 slot machines, 18 table games and three poker tables. By comparison, Lake City is home to 300 slots, six tables, no poker tables and no standalone restaurants. “This facility is for people to go out and have a good time — and, if you want to gamble, you can gamble,” Santo said. “There’s going to be a lot more to do about entertainment and not just about gambling.” The scale of the casino is grand — much more like large facilities in the Lower Mainland or Tulalip in Washington state than the Lake City Casino in downtown Kamloops. When visitors walk through the front doors, they will be greeted by architectural features meant to mimic the natural surroundings. “One of the things about the casino, when we were developing the design, was to utilize the elements of Kamloops and the natural beauty,” Santo said. “We really tried to include the natural beauty of Kamloops into our design.” The casino floor is located just to the right of the front entrance, while Match restaurant is on

the left. The entrance to the casino floor is 30 feet ahead on the right, while a buffet restaurant — aptly called The Buffet — is on the left. The third restaurant, Atlas, is located on the far side of The Buffet. Santo said the Kamloops project marks the first time Atlas has been introduced to a Gateway casino. He described it as a “highend” dining experience. Match and The Buffet are restaurants with which Gateway has already experienced success in other locations. Santo said additional Atlas locations will be rolled out at future developments in Edmonton — the new arena district downtown and West Edmonton Mall — and, eventually, the Lower Mainland. In the Kamloops casino, Match will seat 300 people, The Buffet will seat 200 people and Atlas will seat 150. Each has its own patio with seats, as does the casino-floor lounge. The lounge is also home to a stage for live entertainment. The stage is located in the northeast corner of the build-

ing, tucked into coloured glass overlooking the Thompson Valley. The casino floor also features another smaller bar closer to the entrance. The capacity of the entire facility is approximately 2,300, Santo said. One of the anticipated elements that will not be part of the facility when it opens its doors is a 500-seat outdoor amphitheatre. Santo said Gateway ran into issues with parking and planners decided to put the project on hold. “At this point, with everything we had going on, opening late in the summer, we thought we’ll just take it up next summer,” he said. Other than the amphitheatre, Santo said visitors can expect to see exactly what was proposed when the doors of the Versatile Drive casino open. “They’re going to see a fully operational casino with all our restaurants open and all bars open,” he said. “There’s not going to be very much work left inside.” In addition to increased size and offerings, Cascades Casino will also employ a larger workforce than Lake City.

Santo said the new facility will have 325 employees — an increase of more than 200. Santo said the Kamloops casino represents the latest in Gateway’s projects. “This has a lot of the new thinking that we have,” he said. “We’ve taken some of the things we’ve learned in Buffet and Match and improved on it.” At the end of the day, Santo said, Gateway’s goal with the Kamloops casino is to deliver a well-rounded entertainment experience — one that will come with a free shuttle that will take customers to and from the casino, with stops at downtown hotels, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen and at Thompson Rivers University on Saturdays. “I think consumers want a social experience,” Santo said. “This is about people going out and having a social experience. “Our changes are trying to stay current with what people want. We aren’t only about gambling. We’re about entertaining people.”

NALOXONE KITS A FRESH APPROACH

n the past 17 months, the work undertaken by Dr. Ian Mitchell and public-health nurse Kirsten McLaughlin at Royal Inland Hospital has saved three lives — and perhaps more. The duo’s commitment in distributing medical kits designed to reverse the effects of an opiate drug overdose is a prime example of what the focus of Canada’s health-care system should be. It is a proactive, preventive attack, rather than a reactive stance that fails to address the root problem and which costs society far more — in terms of lives and dollars. Mitchell and McLaughlin hand out naloxone kits and teach addicts how to properly inject the drug that has, quite literally, brought people back from the dead. With the rash of dealers adding deadly amounts of fentanyl to all manner of drugs — including marijuana — the number of fentanyl-related deaths and overdoses has risen this summer. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Another aspect of the work being done by Mitchell and McLauhglin and the staff at RIH is that it is a harm-reduction initiative. In other words, drug use — and the dangers that come with it — is treated from a health-based, harm-reduction viewpoint, rather than from a criminal-code mindset. Treating drug use and the those ensnared in its talons as a criminal manner has proven to be a futile approach that tends to simply add bodies to jail cells while doing little to attack the real issue. Look south of the 49th parallel for ample proof of the absurdity of such an outdated stance. There is much to be learned from the work being done out of RIH — the first hospital in Canada to dispense such kits from its ER — and from the offices of other health-related agencies in Kamloops.

Sorting out the issues

he first, and perhaps only, complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues — and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. They should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public-sector unions and other special interests.

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Another non-issue is the nonexistent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus and if — a big if — Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre.

Based on their actions, the NDP, Green and Liberals are all opposed to not only oil pipelines, but to export gas pipelines as well. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capitalcost allowances for liquefied natural-gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But, we’re expected to believe Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TROPHY HUNTING NEITHER MORAL NOR ETHICAL Editor: In view of the illegal baiting and eventual killing of Cecil the lion, after 40 hours of suffering from an arrow piercing his body and the ensuing international public outrage, does the B.C. Liberal government not feel it is time to ban trophy hunting of grizzlies in B.C.? Millions of people have stated their opposition to this senseless killing in Zimbabwe for recreation and an endangered animal’s head on a wall. As a result, Zimbabwe has banned hunting in the area where Cecil was lured to his death and four major U.S. airlines, along with Air Canada, have decided against

transporting wildlife trophies. We now have a parallel situation in B.C. Martin Thomas, who ironically was named guide of the year in 2015, was found guilty weeks later of illegally baiting a grizzly bear so his American client could shoot it. Unlike his counterparts in Zimbabwe, who are facing a prison term, Thomas was given a fine and continues to ply his trade. If one guide was found hunting illegally, one can be certain others are also using illegal means of luring grizzlies to their death. Trophy hunting can hardly be deemed moral or ethical in a civilized world. Even Third World countries are coming

to this realization and banning the practice. What is it going to take for our provincial government to realize the moral obligation it owes its citizens to end this senseless, bloody activity? Surveys show more than 80 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting in the province. How long can the grizzly population sustain itself in the face of reduced habitat, mine and pipeline development, poaching and 3,350 hunting deaths from 2003 to 2014 (1,177 of which were at the hands of non-residents)? Art Johnson Kamloops

THE CYCLISTS TAKING THE RECYCLING TO EMTERRA? SAY THANKS Editor: I just wanted to say kudos to those responsible for making the decision to install a bike-repair station near the flood monument in Riverside Park. It has a variety of tools on retractable steel cables, tire levers, a work stand and, best of all, a pump with both Schrader and Presta heads. As a lifelong cyclist who uses the city trail system often, this is appreciated. The biking community thanks you.

Chris Kempling Kamloops

Editor: In regards to the Emterra recycling-strike fiasco: We are a couple of semi-invalid seniors going on 83 years of age. It is all my husband can do to walk, with his cane, the distance to the recycling container when it is being cleared regularly in our apartment complex. We do not have room in our apartment to keep much trash, nor does management have the space for us to store it.

We still do have a driver’s licence between us. What is our next step? Take it and deposit on the door step of Emterra? I don’t think so, as the company’s address is not in the phone book. If someone else has it, please send it in and maybe that is what we will have to do. Vel Schrader Kamloops

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

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: LETTER: WHERE IS CITY’S BACKUP PLAN DURING RECYCLING COMPANY STRIKE?:

“A backup plan is a prerogative of good management. “Too many questions, painfully too little answers. “It is a circus and the clowns are not funny.” — posted by Pierre Filisetti “Add Bear Aware to this recycling fiasco. People who are storing their recyclables in their garages, carports, etc., will now be attracting bears. “Even if the containers, cans are washed out, I believe there are scents still there. “Recycling going into landfills is not acceptable at all. “How can this mayor and council even begin to think about a performing arts centre when there is no contingency plans for recycling.” — posted by Di

ANOTHER ‘PRESTO’ FROM MAYOR MILOBAR? Editor: Regarding the upcoming referendum on the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC). I remember a while back when Peter Milobar was first elected mayor. He did not recognize, accept nor honour the results of a referendum held before he took office. This was in regards to the

installation of water meters. The majority of Kamloopsians participating in that referendum voted it down. These are facts. Milobar stated that, because he was not the acting mayor when the referendum was held, he had no legal obligation to recognize those results and, presto, we now have water meters. What a process.

I certainly hope that if the majority of Kamloopsians vote down borrowing money for an arts centre, we don’t see a repeat performance of “presto” with Mayor Milobar, in which the city borrows the money anyway.

“Locally Owned and Operated”

Political parties are reimbursed 50 per cent of campaign expenses if they secure two per cent of the national vote and five per cent of a riding vote. Candidates are reimbursed 60 per cent of campaign expenses if they receive 10 per cent of the vote in their constituency. “We’ve had a plan,” Sundhu said of spending. “Obviously, the plan changes with the Conservatives going with an 11-week campaign. “We’re not the party of rich people. We’re not going to compete for the most part with the Conservative money. We’re just going to be smarter.” McLeod maintains spending over the three months will change little. “If not for the early campaign period, money would have been spent in a preelection period anyway,” she said. “Pre-writ there’s very few rules,” McLeod said.

Meeting on landfill purchase

Liberal candidate Steve Powrie said he’s leaving the details to his team, but doesn’t expect the longer campaign to significantly increase the budget, much of which will be spent on advertising. While critical of the cost to taxpayers of the longer campaign, Powrie said the energy coming to his organization as a result has been an early boost. “It’s been a blessing in disguise . . . We’ve had a whack of donations in the past four days. Now the writ is dropped, it’s really benefiting us.” In 2011, Green candidate Donovan Cavers, now a city councillor, came within 50 votes of beating Liberal candidate Murray Todd, despite spending only $1,500. “I’d estimate in the $2,000-$3,000 range, probably not much different than last time,” said this year’s Green candidate, Matt Greenwood. By all estimates, this year’s election will be an expensive one for taxpayers. Greenwood argues the Conservatives

A public meeting regarding the City of Kamloops’ plan to buy the Owl Road Landfill in Valleyview will be held on Thursday. The cost to purchase the site, reduce the size of the existing landfill operations and

under Prime Minister Stephen Harper undercut the system brought in by the Liberal Chretien government that awarded parties an amount based on their popular vote. “For that $30 million, we gave every party an inoculation against undue corporate/union influence by giving them a stable, independent source of income,” Greenwood said, referring to the per vote subsidy that gave political parties about $2 per vote if they garnered at least two per cent of total votes nationally and at least five per cent of votes in an electoral district. The subsidy was brought in when corporate and union donations were banned. In the 11 years it existed, the pervote subsidy gave $98 million to the Conservatives, $75 million to the Liberals, $54 million to the NDP, $25 million to the Bloc Québécois and $12 million to the Greens.

establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a public works and utilities satellite yard is estimated at $10 million. The purchase would be funded through debt and the debt would be serviced through landfill tipping fees.

The city said there would be no impact on taxes, solidwaste rates or landfill tipping fees. Thursday’s meeting will be held at the Valleyview Arena, 353 Highland Rd., from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Broncos hit the ferry running MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

unning back Jacob Palmarin and the Kamloops Broncos rumbled over the Westshore Rebels and put the Vancouver Island Raiders on notice. Fans at Hillside Stadium braved tempest weather conditions on Saturday and watched the home team rush for 332 yards in a 60-11 victory over the visitors from Langford — a triumph that paved the way for this Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference clash between the Broncos and Raiders in Nanaimo. “I’m looking forward to this one because I think we have a huge opportunity here to make a statement,” said Kamloops’ head coach Brad Yamaoka, whose team will host the rematch against the Raiders at Hillside on Aug. 22. “We’ve never beaten Nanaimo, but it is doable. If we could go in there — and if the gods are smiling at us — and we can pull out two wins against them, I think we’ll be in the driver’s seat for the rest of the season.” Offensive co-ordinator Mike Faisthuber has proven Kamloops can rack up yards through the air, but driving rain in the first half, especially in the second quarter, forced the Broncos to take to the ground against the Rebels. Kamloops scampered for 273 yards in the first half and feature back Palmarin finished the game with 193 rushing yards and five touchdowns. “The rain really started to come down and that’s when we scored most of our points,” Yamaoka said. “We were able to make stops on

Kamloops Broncos’ running back Jacob Palmarin evaded tacklers and rushed for 193 yards on 12 carries and scored five touchdowns in a 60-11 victory over the Westshore Rebels at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. Next up for the Broncos is a team they have never beaten in eight seasons of B.C. Football Conference play — the Vancouver Island Raiders. Kamloops and Vancouver Island square off in Nanaimo on Saturday. KTW FILE PHOTO

defence, which was nice to see, and we got the ball back in some pretty favourable field position most of that second quarter.” The offensive line had its best game of the campaign and the hogs will hop on the ferry on Friday believing they can help the Broncos to a franchise-first victory over the Raiders. Confidence is encouraged, Yamaoka said, but arrogance — which likely played a part in the Broncos’ 25-17 home loss to the Langley Rams on Aug. 2 — will

not be tolerated this time around. “Maybe the Langley loss was one of the better things that could have happened to us,” said Yamaoka, who knows a win over either Okanagan, Langley or Vancouver Island would be a statement victory for his club. “Hopefully, they don’t get overconfident again,” Yamaoka said. “Us as coaches, we have to keep them level and make sure they understand the task at hand.” Kamloops ran roughshod over

Westshore, which lost by only two points to Vancouver Island on Aug. 1. “We know the players are thinking that — ‘They almost lost to Westshore and we beat Westshore quite easily,’” Yamaoka said. “But, you can never really go on that. Teams play everybody differently and, traditionally, we have not played well on the Island.” If the Okanagan Sun (3-0) of Kelowna continue their torrid

pace and finish atop the BCFC standings, it appears the battle for second place and the right to host a home playoff game will be waged between Vancouver Island, Kamloops and Langley, each of which are 2-1. The Rebels and Valley Huskers of Chilliwack are winless at 0-3. “These next two weeks are pretty big,” Yamaoka said. “If we can steal one down there, then they have to come back here and play us. That would be a great situation to be in.”

GUISE’S RECOVERY INCHING ALONG STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In one sense, the last seven months have been a blur for Colin Guise. In another, they have been the slowest and toughest of his life. Hospitalized in January as a loonie-sized brain abscess wreaked havoc on his body, Guise has spent 2015 getting his life back on track. It has been anything but easy. “I feel like, in a lot of ways, I’m not contributing to the family, but I do what I can,” Guise told KTW. “It doesn’t seem like it’s a lot — sometimes it feels like there are three kids in the house instead of two because I’m like a third kid.” Once the picture of health and a man who spent his spare time helping run the

Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, Guise now devotes most of his concentration to walking, speaking, eating and drinking. And, though his doctors are happy with his progress, Guise — a man who never likes to be idle — can’t help but wish things were moving a little bit quicker. “I don’t know where I’m at on the spectrum,” he said. The early prognosis was that it could take up to two years for life to get back to normal for the 44-year-old. “Right now, I kind of feel like I’m at a plateau because I don’t notice the stuff any more that I’m improving at,” he said. When Guise was first hospitalized, he was fighting debilitating headaches, a feeling of drunkenness that

he just couldn’t shake. Those symptoms are now gone, but his new reality isn’t perfect, either. His walking has improved, as has his vision, but he still deals with ataxia — a loss of full control of body movements — on the left side of his body. When he walks, he drags his foot slightly. Guise deals with numbness and circulation problems in his left hand. Standing for long periods of time can be fatiguing and he still hasn’t fully regained his balance. His mind is often foggy, his memory not as good as it once was. “It almost feels like I’m hungover, without the headache and without the vomiting,” Guise said. “That’s what I pretty much have 24/7.

I’m so groggy.” Guise said recovery has become a full-time job. Amidst a variety of doctors appointments, he spends hours at the gym and pool, trying to regain the strength he once had as a competitive soccer player and basketball and soccer referee. More than anything, finding motivation each day can be tough. He’s disappointed he can’t go back to work yet, frustrated mowing the lawn seems so big a task that it can take him weeks to work up the energy. “July was a really tough for me because there wasn’t much soccer going on, other than me going to watch my team play,” Guise said, referring to his men’s soccer league team. “It was kind of like there was nothing to fill the time.”

WHISTLING’S BUNKER TRAPS GENARO ARMAS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Perhaps the shiftiest sand trap in recent major history is now covered up by a hospitality area. The “Dustin Johnson bunker’’ will be a memory when the PGA Championship returns this week to Whistling Straits in Wisconsin for the first time in five years. But, countless other sandy areas at the linksstyle course overlooking Lake Michigan remain hazards — or are they? “I think the players are much more aware of what they can and cannot do in sandy areas,’’ Rory McIlroy said. Not knowing the rule proved damaging for Johnson in 2010. He was assessed a two-shot penalty on the final hole after grounding his 4-iron in the sand to the way right of the fairway, not aware he was in a bunker. He

had a one-shot lead when he teed off from the 18th hole. Johnson missed a seven-foot par putt to slip into a playoff — until he learned he had let his club touch the sand during his pre-shot routine. The two added shots dropped him to fifth. “I won’t be grounding my club anywhere if I miss the fairway, that’s for sure. I just missed the memo where all sand is deemed a bunker,’’ Johnson said last week. Johnson has said he didn’t look at the rules sheet that had been posted all week in the locker room and on the first tee. Every bunker, the rules stated, was a hazard, even if outside the ropes where the gal-

lery had been standing. The confusion is understandable. Johnson has recounted how — in addition to fans standing there — he saw a Gatorade bottle and a beer can in the bunker. As with both the 2004 and 2010 PGA championships at Whistling, all sand will be considered bunkers. “All areas of the course that were designed and built as bunkers, filled with sand, will be played as bunkers [hazards] whether or not they have been raked,’’ the PGA said in a notice to competitors. “This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well as some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints, trash and tire tracks during the play of the Championship.’’

Third baseman Josh Donaldson (pictured) and Toronto Blue Jays teammate David Price were named the American League co-players of the week yesterday. The Jays have moved into an AL wild card spot, thanks in large part to the outstanding duo.

TORONTO — Third baseman Josh Donaldson and starting pitcher David Price of the Toronto Blue Jays were named the American League coplayers of the week yesterday. Donaldson batted .385 (10-for-26) with nine runs scored, two doubles, five home runs with eight runs batted in over from Aug. 3 to Aug. 9. Price went 2-0 with a 0.60 earned-run average and 18 strikeouts in 15.0 innings pitched in his first two starts with the Blue Jays. Donaldson and Price have been instrumental in Toronto’s eight-game win streak that has launched the Blue Jays in to an AL wild card spot. Toronto

is 1.5 games back of the AL East-leading New York Yankees. This is Price’s first career weekly honour and Donaldson’s third, last winning earlier this season for the period ending May 31. Among his AL counterparts, Donaldson finished the week first in home runs, runs scored, total bases (27) and extra-base hits (7), second in slugging percentage (1.038), tied for second in RBI, tied for fourth in walks (5) and tied for fifth in on-base percentage (.484). Price completed the period first in innings pitched, tied for first in wins and strikeouts, and tied for fourth in ERA. Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates was named National League player of the week.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  MAFALDA CAPONE It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Mafalda Capone on August 5th, 2015. Mafalda was predeceased by her husband Vincenzo and is survived by son Luigi Capone (Lori), his sons, Jonathan (Laura) and Adam. Survived by son Giuseppe Capone (Karen) his daughters, Chelsey Ruston (Kris) with Mafalda’s great-grandchildren Parker and Danica and daughter Holly Capone (Patrick). Survived by daughter Maria Capone and her daughters, Olivia and Lena Lund. Mafalda is also survived by brother Raffale (Toronto), and sisters Viola (Italy), Carmela (Toronto) and Rosa (England) and numerous brothers-in-law, sisters-inlaw, nephews and nieces throughout Canada, England, Belgium and Italy. Mafalda will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Mafalda was born in Candida, in the Province of Avellino, Italy. She was one of eight sisters and a brother who were raised on a farm a few kilometers from Montefalcione. It was Montefalcione where she met Vincenzo and were married a short time later. In 1952, they moved to Belgium where their two sons were born and in 1957 immigrated to Kamloops and a daughter arrived a few years later. Ma was a traditional Italian mama and nonna. Cooking, cleaning, baking and canning was just par for the course. Caring and loving her family was her passion. She always asked about your welfare and that of the kids. Before her illness her memory was sharp as a tack and could remember so much detail about family history that it was uncanny. She was very proud of her garden and generously gave fruit and vegetables to family and friends every year. Special thanks to staff of Royal Inland Hospital, the Ponderosa Lodge and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for their excellent care. A Prayer Service will be held in Sacred Heart Cathedral at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12th. The Reverend Father Swann Kim will celebrate the Funeral Mass in the Cathedral on Thursday, August 13 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery.

The Little Unicorn

by Peggy Kociscin,Albuquerque, New Mexico

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue. 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.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

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!

As Duffy returns to court, Harper ratchets up anti-terror talk THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper ramped up the anti-terror talk yesterday, defending Canada’s role in the fight against insurgents in the Middle East and slamming his two main rivals for what he considers their misguided opposition to military action. With the trial of disgraced senator Mike Duffy set to make its

dramatic return to the political stage this week, the Conservative leader is escalating the rhetoric as he depicts his party as the only one capable of keeping Canadians safe. Harper strongly defended the use of Canadian warplanes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — also known as ISIL and ISIS — as he promised Canada would take in more ref-

ugees from the region over the next several years. Offering safe haven to refugees is not enough, the prime minister said during a campaign stop in Markham, Ont. “ISIS, left to its own devices, will create millions, tens of millions of refugees and victims on a monthly basis,’’ he said. “That’s why the international com-

munity intervened . . . President Obama and our allies felt we had no choice. We were witnessing mass slaughter at an alarming, lightning pace that was sweeping across the region.’’ Harper brushed off the criticisms of NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who reject military action and have urged that Canada stick to providing humanitarian aid. “If your policy is humanitarian assistance without military support, all you’re doing is dropping aid on dead people,’’ Harper said. “That’s not acceptable. We’re a country that can contribute militarily and in a humanitarian sense, and we are doing both.’’

Harper said a reelected Conservative government would bring in 10,000 additional religious minority refugees from Syria and Iraq, targeting refugees in the region who face persecution or the threat of extremist violence. On Sunday, the prime minister raised eyebrows with a promise to ban travel to regions controlled by terrorist groups, saying such travel is “not a human right”— a comment he repeated yesterday. Trudeau dismissed that as political posturing. At an early-morning event in Montreal, Trudeau described the travel ban idea as little more than a distraction from the Conservatives’ dismal economic record.

Mulcair, meanwhile, was in Toronto for the launch of his new autobiography, Strength of Conviction, before heading to Montreal. The event was briefly interrupted by protesters pressing the NDP leader for a position on the Energy East pipeline. The small group was quickly escorted out the room as they yelled, “Stop Energy East,” and asked if Mulcair would say no to the project if it’s incompatible with national action on climate change. Mulcair, who did not speak to journalists at the event, responded briefly by saying, “Of course we will,’’ adding that’s why a new system is necessary. Harper also made a multi-million-dollar

pledge yesterday to fund groups trying to protect places of worship and religious artifacts targeted by ISIL. The Conservatives want to spend $9 million over three years on the project through a fund overseen by the Office of Religious Freedom the Conservatives created in 2013. Earlier this year, the Conservative government made a similar commitment to resettle 10,000 refugees from the war-torn Middle East, but has steadfastly refused to say how many people have actually been allowed in thus far. The prime minister said his latest refugee target would give priority to religious minorities threatened with persecution of extremist violence.

Hungry grizzly bear killed in Kimberley home invasion KIMBERLEY — A hungry grizzly bear with a taste for pet food came in through an open window of the wrong home in Kimberley early Sunday morning. Niki Traverse said frantic barking from the family’s small dog woke her at about 4:30 a.m., but she never expected to see a bear, oblivious to everything but a bag of pet food, chowing down near her kitchen door. Traverse raced back to the bedroom, waking her husband, Mark, who was able to grab and load a rifle from the locker in their bedroom, then step into the kitchen to startle the grizzly, which immediately lunged. Traverse said her husband fired three shots, the first from about three metres away and the second from barely two, but that bullet felled the advancing bear and the third ensured it was dead. A conservation officer in the southeastern B.C. city told the family it’s extremely rare for a grizzly to enter a home, but the 10- to 15-year-old male was sick, emaciated and would never have survived the winter. — Canadian Press

South Africa will fight Fraser Valley wildfires VANCOUVER — Fighting wildfires in British Columbia is an international effort this year.

BRIEFS

About 25 people from South Africa are helping to battle a 13-square-kilometre blaze burning near Harrison Hot Springs in the eastern Fraser Valley. The crew arrived last week as another team from Australia prepared to wrap up work in B.C. About 100 firefighting personnel from Ontario have also returned home. Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said about 1,400 people are working to extinguish fires across the province. There have been 1,447 fires this year, including 127 that are still burning. Skrepnek said the province has spent about $190 million fighting wildfires this year.

Fentanyl suspected in rash of overdoses VANCOUVER — A total of 16 drug overdoses, including six in a single hour, have been reported in Vancouver and fentanyl is the suspected culprit. Police in the city say they handled six overdoses between 7.30 and 8:30 p.m. Sunday. In a release, Sgt. Randy Fincham said local service providers advised police of a fur-

He said drug users believed the pink-coloured drug they had purchased was heroin, but did not know it contained other toxic chemicals. The additional substance is still being tested, but Fincham said fentanyl is suspected and he urged drug users to be extremely cautious. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid, recently linked to an outbreak of overdose deaths in Western Canada. — Canadian Press

The folk-bluegrass band Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra will be performing at 5775 Westsyde Rd. on Aug. 28.

MOCKINGBIRD ORCHESTRATING A HOUSE SHOW DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Victoria bar was known for its music scene, for an open mic that drew performers from many genres. The venue was short-lived — open only about six months due to the lack of a liquor licence — but, for at least five musicians, the music has remained. Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra (TMO) counts the chance encounter of its original musicians at that bar as the start of the band back in 2006. Peter Mynett, Patrick M’Gonigle, Jacques Mindreau and Eddie Raskin have moved on in other musical directions and the

band is now composed of originals Ian Griffiths, Kurt Loewen and Paul Wolda, who were joined in recent years by Mack Shields and Keith Rodger. As for instruments played, Griffiths said the equipment list includes a fiddle, a stand-up bass, an accordion, a guitar, lots of things that fall under the listing of percussion “and some other stuff.” The accordionist, he said he took up the instrument while studying at a university in Barcelona, Spain. Taking a trip with a friend to the Alicante region of the country, Griffiths spied a small accordion at a store he and his friend stopped in so she could buy a banjo. He bought the accordion, started playing it for fun, discovered he liked it and taught him-

interest in house shows has several benefits from the musicians’ point of view. “There’s no pressure, like in a bar [gig],” he said. “It’s a group of friends or about-to-become friends. It’s more relaxed. And they can be more profitable, too.” Griffiths and Loewen handle the bulk of the songwriting — the band tends to do its own music, with some of the classics mixed into set lists — but, Griffith said, anyone can bring “a song seed in and we’ll all work on it. Sometimes it becomes radically different from what it started out to be.” TMO’s most recent release is Love, an album the band describes as speaking to the consequences of love in its many forms. As for the name, it was

suggested by founding guitarist Raskin, who, as an even younger wannabe musician, thought it would be great to be in a band with the name Tequila Mockingbird. The rest of the band thought it was good and was all set to adopt it when they learned there were other Canadian and U.S. bands with the same name. Hence the addition of the word “orchestra.” Once decided, they quickly took all the legal steps to register it as their own. Details are still pending on the backyard party TMO will play in Westsyde. The show is at 9 p.m.; attendees are asked to arrive after 7 p.m. For more information, go online to thetequilamockingbirdorchestra.com/shows.

self how to pull music out of the bellows. Nine years after formation, the band officially resides in Victoria, but only one of the five still lives there, with others spread out over Western Canada. Its music was described in Edmonton’s Vue Weekly as a melange of folk, bluegrass and cultural rhythms. Add in some ska and gypsy and you have an idea of what TMO’s music is like. It makes rehearsing a challenge, but not insurmountable, and the group gets together to renew its musical mastery before heading out on tours. That’s what brings TMO to Kamloops this month — a house concert at 5775 Westsyde Rd. on Aug. 28. Griffiths said the growing

OPTIMISM DESPITE LOW ATTENDANCE MICHAEL POTESTIO

MERRITT HERALD

reporter@merrittherald.com

Wrapping up its first year in the Country Music Capital of Canada, the Rockin’ River Music Festival saw nearly 25,000 people attend the fourday event that took place over the B.C. Day long weekend. Country music stars Lady Antebellum, Dallas Smith, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, The Boom Chucka Boys and Ridley Bent ushered in a new era of country music in Merritt, four years after the Merritt Mountain Music Festival packed its bags. Although ticket sales weren’t as strong as organizer Kenny Hess had hoped for, he said it was a good start to something he’s confident will grow, with acts already being booked for next year, including American country-music singer Sam Hunt confirmed.

IN THE SHADOW OF A MOUNTAIN

The Rockin’ River Music Festival has restored the country music festival scene in Merritt. It had lower ticket sales, but also fewer police incidents compared to Mountainfest. Despite losing money and selling fewer tickets than expected, Hess was still happy with its outcome. “A lot of people left very, very happy, so we feel on a musical level it was an extreme success,” Hess said. Over the course of the four-day festival, about 25,000 tickets were sold, he said. “We would have liked to [have] hit

35,000 over the weekend,” he told the Herald. Saturday, when Dierks Bentley played, saw the largest crowd at the festival with about 6,500 people. Hess said the festival wasn’t financially successful, costing about $1.8 million, up from the average of $1.3 million it cost to hold the event at its former location in Mission. Hess said the numbers were good enough to suggest the festival has the potential to be as big as the former Merritt Mountain Music Festival, but can be maintained as a family event. “There was a lot going on that the kids really enjoyed and the parents still had a great time,” Hess said. Kids under 12 were allowed entry free of charge. RCMP Sgt. Norm Flemming said the festival had a reasonably well-behaved crowd. “We didn’t have anything untoward ongoing and didn’t have any horrific problems like we may have had in the old days of the Merritt Mountain Music Festival,” he said. Flemming said police responded to 150 calls for service between Thursday and Monday, with about 10 per cent of them coming from the festival site for drugor alcohol-related incidents, such as drunk-in-public calls. Hess believes this festival left a positive mark on the community and has high hopes for its return next year. Musical acts are already being lined up to play at the 2016 festival, which has a 10-year lease in

place for the festival grounds, Hess said. Country musician Sam Hunt has been confirmed for the 2016 lineup “He’s the hottest thing in country music,” Hess said. “When you talk to anybody, he’s the guy everybody expects to be the biggest artist out there next year, so we’re pretty happy about that.” The festival found a new home in Merritt after outgrowing the Mission Raceway Park. While the site is bigger, with more campsites than the location in Mission, the turnout this year was similar to the crowds of about 20,000 people Hess said the threeday Mission festival attracted during the six years it was held down south.

A LITTLE SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS Last October, when Hess announced the festival was coming to Merritt, he told the Herald he hoped to see the event draw about 15,000 people per day to the site — totalling 60,000 over the course of the long weekend. At Merritt Mountain’s peak in 2005, it had an attendance of about 148,000 people and featured Tim McGraw as the headliner. Mountainfest’s attendance waned in the following years, however, with only 12,000 people showing up in 2009. The festival needed 18,000 paying customers to make a profit in 2009 and lost money in 2008 and 2009, according to an article in the Vancouver Sun. The Merritt Mountain Music

Festival was cancelled in 2010 after a 17-year run, but was brought back to life for what would be the last festival in 2011. Hess, who performed at Mountainfest himself, thinks the festival world has advanced since then. “Now, artists make all their money touring, they don’t make money off records, so there’s so much more planning, so much more thought, there’s so much more information available,” Hess said, noting when Mountainfest was in its heyday, the Internet wasn’t as popular. Hess said he learns from festivals around the world, thanks to the Internet. “I can watch the shows on the Internet, I can look at their site with Google Maps and see how they set it up,” Hess said, adding Mountainfest didn’t have that advantage. Tourism Nicola Valley president Anoop Sekhon said the economic impact the former Merritt Mountain Music Festival had on Merritt was evident during its time. “Everybody looked forward to that month. It was a huge month,” he said. “Everybody knew about Merritt, everybody knew about the festival,” he said, noting the Walk of Stars program owes its existence to that festival. “It left a small legacy,” Sekhon said. He hopes the Rockin’ River Music Festival will reach the same heights. Hess said the festival will be bigger and better than the Merritt Mountain

Music Festival after learning from the former festival’s mistakes and accomplishments. “We have a beautiful road map in front of us,” Hess said. “If I [didn’t] think that I can get bigger than what it used to be, I wouldn’t be here right now.”

While volunteers work to get the 2141 back on track — its anticipated return to the rails has been delayed for several weeks — the society behind the steam engine has some options for train enthusiasts. Throughout the month, tours of the old CN station and the railcars sitting by Pioneer

Park will be given, with dollops of history, including why Bill Miner matters to Kamloops. Tours run on Aug. 15, Aug. 16, Aug. 18, Aug. 21, Aug. 25 and Aug. 27 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day. To book a tour, call 250-5723017. For those who want to get even closer to the history the train embodies, the society offers the Ultimate Railfan Photo Op, when people can

climb on board, blow the whistle, have your picture taken and leave with a free souvenir. Cost of this is $10 each of $25 for a family. It’s suggested you bring your own camera, but volunteers will take a photo for those who dont’ have theirs and forward it by email. These run every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To book this, call 250-3742141.

The RCMP’s Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program has received a financial boost from two community groups for new content this year. The Kamloops Brock Central Lions Club donated $500, while the Knights of Columbus Council 1614 donated $200.

The money will help fund DARE’s new Keepin’ it Real (KIR) program, which will be offered to 146 Grade 5 students in the area. More than 100 police officers teach DARE to thousands of students throughout the province to empour schoolchildren to choose a drug-free life.

“The new DARE KIR program encourages youth to be exemplary citizens and to help others in need,” said program co-ordinator Staff Sgt. Anthony Choy in a press release. The program costs about $12 per student and begins in September. Chantal Broughton,

a manager behind the society that funds the program, said about $1,800 more is needed to fund the program. To make a donation, contact Broughton by calling 778-290-2029 or by emailing dare@ darebc.com. To learn more about the program, go online to darebc.com.

COMMUNITY PIZZA PIRATE PAK DAY DAY TO TOMORROW TO FUND KIDS CAMPS HELP FLOOD VICTIMS Eating pizza next week could mean helping Cache Creek residents impacted by recent extreme flooding. Kamloops Dominos Pizza Benefit Day is on Sunday, Aug. 16, from 10 a.m. to noon. The event will see all sales donated to local non-profits TNS AIMCanada Career Mentorship programs and Cache Creek Flood Relief Fund. Dominos locations in Kamloops are at 724 Sydney Ave. and 1900 E. Trans Canada Hwy.

White Spot hopes adults and kids alike will order Pirate Paks tomorrow. Restaurants throughout B.C. and Alberta are participating in the sixth annual Pirate Pak Day, which sees $2 of each one sold donated to help

send youth with life-threatening illnesses and disabilities to summer camp. The event has raised about $350,000 for Zajac Ranch for Children since its inception and has sent more than 200 kids to camp.

The camp near Mission runs from Aug. 17 to Aug. 21 and includes kayaking, climbing, swimming and horseback riding. Local White Spot locations are at 555 Notre Dame Dr. and 675 Tranquille Rd.

We’re building the path to the future.
