TIB chief Shane Gottfriedson is B.C.’s newest regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) following a first-ballot election victory yesterday.

“I credit the victory to my dedication and passion,” Gottfriedson said in a telephone interview from Sheraton Wall Centre in Vancouver, where chiefs from around B.C. or their delegates cast ballots for regional chief.

Gottfriedson picked up 87 votes, slightly higher than the 50 per cent needed to declare a victor on the first ballot and avoid a run-off.

His closest rivals were Bob Chamberlin, vicepresident of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, with 38 votes, and former Snuneymux chief Doug White, from the Nanaimo area, with 37.

Former Adams Lake Indian Band chief Nelson Leon garnered only four votes.

After announcing his challenge for the position — and the fact he would not run again for re-election as chief of the Tk’emlups Indian Band this fall — Gottfriedson embarked on a tour that took him to all parts of the province.

It is the second time he has run for the position, losing in 2009 by nine votes.

“When you go out and take time to show communities respect and walk the land and find out the issues — that means a lot to the chiefs and people,” he said.

LOCAL NEWS BLAZE DOUSED

A blaze that burned the roof and exterior of a building on Selkirk Avenue on Wednesday night started on the exterior of the building, an investigation has concluded. But, Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean said, investigators don’t know what caused the house fire. The call came in at just past 8 p.m. and the first crew arrived about four minutes later.

“They saw visible flames and smoke,” McLean said.

Quick action restricted the fire to the roof and exterior of the multi-family building on the North Shore. There were no injuries and crews left at about 11 p.m. Fire investigators are still looking at evidence. McLean acknowledged there were reports of garbage bin fires the same evening.

LOVE THAT OPEN ROAD There’s nothing quite like riding a motorcycle in the Kamloops area, exploring the diverse landscape.

About four years ago I began riding motorcycles again. Yes, I get teased that I’m trying to relive my youth, and maybe I am. But what I’ve learned now that I’m older, and hopefully wiser, is that it can be dangerous on our roads no matter how careful we may be. Motorcycles are simply smaller and are not as easy to see as other vehicles. Hopefully, if you practice the skills outlined in the ‘Learn To Ride Smart’ manual you will stay safe. Better yet, take a motorcycle training course.

Council gives its 2 a.m. nod ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

Visitors to Kamloops’ newest casino will be able to enjoy drinks outdoors until 2 a.m. with the approval of city council.

Councillors voted this week to allow the Cascades Casino owned

by Gateway Casinos to keep its four patios open until the end of its hours of operation, rather than following a staff recommendation that would have shut them down at 11 p.m.

Gateway is applying for liquor licences for its Versatile Drive casino, with a capacity of 1,942 people, including a 127-person patio; a restaurant and pub with a 970-person capacity, including three patios which could hold 518 people; and a sports bar area that can hold 161 people.

Planning and development manager Randy Lambright said staff were recommending the pati-

os close earlier because of noise concerns. While Gateway had provided a noise study suggesting the casino would not produce a higher volume of sound than traffic noise already heard in the area, Lambright said there are concerns about noise bouncing off retaining walls near the site and creating an amplified effect.

Lambright said the decision could lead to other bars and restaurants in more residential neighbourhoods to apply for later patio hours to compete with the casino, which he said would “create a ripple effect of noise throughout the community.”

Coun. Tina Lange said she’s not concerned about noise issues in that area, noting the nearby Holiday Inn has signed off on the casino’s requested hours.

“The location of it is not around a lot of residences and apartment buildings and, since the hotel has said they’re in favour

of it, that would have been my only concern for noise,” she said.

In response to questions from Coun. Dieter Dudy, Lambright said land behind the casino is slated for residential development.

But, Coun. Pat Wallace said even if more residents move in to the area after the fact, she’s not overly concerned about the casino’s impact on the area.

“We live in a world of noise and I certainly, living just off of Tranquille Road, hear buses all night until they quit,” she said.

“I hear planes, I hear cars, I hear people at 2 a.m. going down to the water and that’s just a matter of life.”

Only Coun. Donovan Cavers and Coun. Arjun Singh voted not to support the expanded patio hours.

Mayor Peter Milobar recused himself from the debate as he owns the same kind of liquor primary license for which Gateway is applying.

Will purchase produce less dust?

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

City of Kamloops staff say tackling the amount of dust coming off a Valleyview landfill will be on the list of priorities once the property is in its hands.

Council agreed this week to move ahead with a borrowing bylaw allowing it to spend $10 million to acquire the Owl Road dump.

Of the amount, $6.3 million will go to purchase the site, including its landfill permit, with the remainder used to rehabilitate the area, shrink the size of the landfill and set up an area to divert construction waste from the Mission Flats landfill.

As part of that effort, public works director Jen Fretz said, the city will plant vegetation on a portion of the property and will use water-based dustcontrol methods.

Fretz said the reason the city can afford to purchase the property without increasing tipping fees is because the dump generates about $1.6 million in annual revenue, which will cover the city’s yearly debt servicing of $750,000 and the estimated $770,000 in operating costs, with cash left over.

“I know the cost may seem high, but we are purchasing a business with many assets, including a landfill permit, and the value of the landfill permit is included in the price,” Fretz said.

The city also projects the dump will extend the lifespan of its Mission Flats landfill — though to different dates than it had previously stated.

Fretz said a report presented to council contained the wrong dates for the landfill’s projected closure. Without the Owl Road dump, Mission Flats would have been in use until 2068. With the dump, the lifespan extends another 10 years.

Coun. Ken Christian said managing dust at the dump, which he said has been a major source of the air pollutant PM10 in the valley bottom over the past two decades, will be good for the health of the community.

Mayor Peter Milobar agreed.

“I think this is a site that’s been a thorn in people’s sides for a long time,” he said.

In order to purchase the property, the city will go through an alternative-approval process to borrow the $10 million needed.

If fewer than 10 per cent of eligible electors (about 6,836 people) formally object to the borrowing by a certain date, it will proceed.

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Even with temperatures expected to climb as high as 40 or 41 C on Sunday, Kamloops’ water-treatment plant will more or less be at an idle.

While the plant is designed to process as much as 160-million litres per day, workers at the facility aren’t expecting residents’ to break the water banks as Kamloops gets hammered by another heat wave this weekend.

“It will probably go into the 110-, 115-million litre range, but that’s where we used to be every day,” said utilities manager Michael Firlotte.

By contrast, in 2006, the facility was putting through 140-million litres of water a day.

Even during last year’s hot spell, the plant never processed more than 121-million litres in a day. Over the last few days, water usage never broke 100-million litres.

“Kudos to the people out there,” Firlotte said.

“The habits are starting to show people are conserving water and using it in a responsible manner.”

While Firlotte isn’t expecting to be excessively busy this weekend, businesses around

Kamloops that may offer respite from the heat will be.

Al Deacon, owner of the Fox’n Hounds Pub and the Fox’n Hounds Sahali Liquor store, is expecting both businesses to see an influx of traffic as the sizzling rays hit the Tournament Capital into the weekend.

The same is expected at Aberdeen Mall, where general manager Sandra Desrosiers said heat waves usually bring added traffic looking to trade the outdoor sauna for air conditioning.

The result, Desrosiers said, is an expected spike in sales.

At Scoopz Ice Cream Parlour, owner Adrianne Erlandson is expecting a fair amount of bubble gum, mint chip and cotton candy ice cream to be heading out the doors over the next few days.

At golf courses around the city, tee sheets might be a little more open than usual, though not significantly.

Staff at both the Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Eaglepoint Golf Resort said the tee boxes will likely empty slightly in the heat of the afternoon, but the grounds are as busy as ever in the early-morning and early-evening hours.

Neither location is playing host to tournaments this week-

end, but will have the beverage carts brimming in preparation for the climbing temperatures.

Meanwhile, the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association has no concerns about its upcoming event, the Sussex Insurance All-Star Tournament, which runs from July 2 to July 5.

Teams and umpires will be prepared with plenty of water and the concession will be in operation at Norbrock Stadium.

At Alpha Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc., Jake Gallichan said the company is no stranger to Kamloops’ perennial heat waves, which pull its staff from peaks around the city each summer.

Alpha tends to wrap up work around the Tournament Capital once the mercury climbs into the mid-30s.

The company often starts work at the crack of dawn, too, though when it comes to working on residential structures, roofers can’t get underway until 7 a.m.

Alpha usually wraps up the day’s work by 2 p.m.

Unfortunately, the higher temperatures can mean fewer hours for the company’s roofers.

According to WorkSafeBC, as the temperatures climb north of 30 C, restrictions on working outdoors increase.

BEATING THE HEAT Extreme heat can be dangerous for everyone, but infants and young children are especially at risk because their bodies can heat up much faster than adults.

Heat-related illnesses can be serious and may lead to long-term health problems and even death.

Prevention is the key to reducing the risk of heatrelated illness.

Here are some tips from the Interior Health Authority: • If you don’t have an air conditioner, find a place where you can cool off during extreme heat. A shaded area, swimming facility, water park or an airconditioned spot such as a shopping mall, grocery store or library.

• Limit outdoor time and exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Keep your child in the

shade whenever possible. Tree-shaded areas can be as much as 5 C cooler.

• Bathe your child in a cool bath.

• Use a fan, but be sure to keep it at a safe distance from your child to avoid injury.

• Block the sun by closing awnings, curtains or blinds during the day and opening windows at night to let cooler air into your home.

• Prepare meals that don’t need to be cooked in the oven.

• Symptoms of heat illness include changes in behaviour, dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine.

• Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 if you or someone you are with is in distress.

Heat wave will bring ‘extreme’ danger rating CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Digits on outdoor thermometers are expected to edge up to recordbreaking temperatures by the weekend — flirting with an all-time high.

An intense high-pressure ridge of hot and dry air has moved into the Interior from the American southwest and may peak on Sunday at 41 C. “It’s going to be even hotter,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells.

“Both days [on the weekend] will be 40 or 41 C — Lytton at 42 C.” If temperatures go that high, it will best the previous record for June, which was of 39.1 C, set on June 29, 2008.

The all-time high was reached at Kamloops Airport on July 13 of last year, when the mercury climbed to 40.7 C. The building heat wave is swiftly drying fuels on the forest floor and pushing up the fire danger rating.

Around the city itself, the rating has climbed to high and “it’s probably going to go up by the weekend to extreme,” said Kelsey Winter, a spokeswoman with the provincial

wildfire management branch.

As of late Wednesday, only the Salmon Arm, Lytton and Lillooet areas were considered extreme for forest-fire risk.

The province has nearly spent all of its annual firefighting budget of about $63 million, primarily on a major fire in the Prince George region, as well as the Cisco Road fire near Lytton.

But, in the Kamloops fire zone, the province’s busiest, that fire has been the only major event.

“The Cisco Road fire is really the only fire of note we’ve had. If you look at the number [of fires], we’re on par with last year,” Winter said.

“But, there’s 10 times more hectares burned.”

Winter said the size of typical spot fires extinguished is also larger than normal due to unseasonably dry conditions.

The forecast also includes possibility of dry lighting beginning on Sunday, greatly increasing the wildfire hazard.

Coldwells said there is no precipitation in the forecast.

Temperatures early next week are expected to moderate only slightly, to about 36 C. Typical highs for this time of year are 25 C.

On Monday, June 22nd early in the morning, the home owners of a residence on the 200 block of Strom rd. were awaken by a loud noise.

The owner got up and noticed that the garage door was open, the owner heard a vehicle start up and drive off.

The vehicle is described as an older blue Dodge van, no licence plate was seen. There have been numerous thefts throughout the city from vehicles, anything left in the vehicles could be a target. Items such as wallets, lap tops, cell phones, even loose change, these thieves will take. If you notice any suspicious vehicles late at night in your neighborhood, contact the police immediately, they will attend and determine who these people are.

The best and easiest way to prevent these thefts is to remove anything of value, do not become a victim to these thieves.

It is time to catch these suspects, if you have any information of this attempt Break and Enter or thefts from vehicles, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous only your information will be used.

ARSON IN MERRITT Early in the morning of Saturday, June 13th at approximately 3:07 am, the police and fire department responded to a fire at ML Brown and Sons in Merritt BC. There were 4 Semi trucks in the parking lot, 3 of the trucks were fully engulfed in flames. The fourth truck did receive some fire damage but the fire department brought the fire under control and saved the truck.

It is unknown why someone may have set the vehicles on fire but the damage is considerable with a estimated value of $730,000.

There have been rumours of why this took place, this is the time to come forward and help the police catch this criminal.

Crime Stoppers is the easiest way to solve a crime, just give us your anonymous information, no

This case of senseless vandalism took place early Sunday morning on June 21st, on the Skeetchesan Reserve, right beside the Trans Canada Highway, west of Savona, BC. The sign was representing the Skeetchesan Indian Band and telling the public of the Skeetchesan traditional territory.

Someone had taken a chainsaw and cut through the thick wooden post that

held the sign up. The sign was left on the side of the road and the suspects made no attempt to remove it.

At this point, there are no motives as to why the sign was damaged. Was it because the sign represented the Skeetchesan band, the day before was proclaimed as ‘Aboriginal Day ‘ or just a case of senseless vandalism.

The reason is not important why the

names, no statements, no court and you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

SENSELESS VANDALISM sign was damage, the main question is, who and why was this criminal act was committed. This is a main highway with traffic day and night, someone may have seen something. If you have any information on the vandalism,

VIEWPOINT

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

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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: Getting back to the land. Kudos to the city and Community Futures of Thompson Country for teaming up to kickstart a farm incubator that would see the city provide land to aspiring farmers to learn the industry.

With climate change creating warmer temperatures, certain crops will become easier to grow in the Kamloops region. And, with the record drought still seizing California and near-droughts up and down the West Coast, eating local has never been more crucial.

NOT: The foreshadowing of pay parking at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Parking at the city recreational facility is now free for two hours. But, in the wake of the bankruptcy of the company that provides the kiosks, the city will be installing Precise Parklink’s kiosks used downtown.

While parking at the TCC will continue to be free for two hours, a report to council hints at more fees for residents: “In the future, city staff will explore how the TCC’s updated parking system could potentially be leveraged to generate new revenue streams . . .”

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The fortunes of Kamloops Blazers Deven Sideroff and Connor Ingram and city-raised Seattle Thunderbird Ryan Gropp as they wait to learn if their names are called during this weekend’s NHL draft. Sideroff, a forward, is ranked 134th among North American skaters, Gropp, also a forward, is ranked 71st, while Ingram is the 19th ranked goaltender in the draft.

Congratulations, also, to former Blazer goalie Devan Dubnyk, who this week won the NHL’s Bill Masterton Trophy, awarded to the player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”

Striking out with residents

I

t was while accepting an invitation this week to pick some ripe cherries in Westsyde that the suggestion of dumping recyclables on city hall steps was offered.

It was the third time in three days I had heard such a suggestion — and all three ideas coming from three people who don’t know each other.

Today is only Day 5 of the Great Recycling Strike and Kamloops residents have missed but one scheduled curbside pickup, yet the amount of anger — witnessed in online comments and by chatting with residents — is surprising.

I initially thought the outrage was tied to a heretofore hidden passion for recycling among residents of Kamloops, but I checked the Green party votes in the last election and realized taxpayers simply want to receive service when they pay for it.

As letter writer Michael Janzen argues on the opposite page, the city should not charge residents a recycling fee while employees at private contractor Emterra Environmental are on strike.

The City of Kamloops has vowed to pick up all recycling once the labour dispute ends, which is its argument that the service is being provided, albeit on a delayed basis.

Where residents are supposed to store their recyclables during the strike is the main issue, considering all city depots are closed and two of three private depots in Kamloops have refused to accept the crush of residential material expected due to capacity problems.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Hence my cherry-tree host and the burgeoning idea to deliver newspapers, milk cartons, pickle jars and cardboard to 7 West Victoria St. To be fair, the labour dispute involves a private company and its employees. Kamloops residents are affected only because the city has a contract that sees it deliver recyclables to Emterra’s Valleyview plant, where employees organize it to be sent to a facility in Surrey.

The city pays Emterra by the metric tonne to sort, market and sell the recyclables and has a revenue-sharing agreement with the company based on its sales.

One can argue the city’s hands are tied. After all, what can it do when a private labour dispute disrupts a part of city work upon which residents rely?

However, there is an argument being made by some that the city should be more careful when entering into such agreements.

According to United Steelworkers Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons, the majority of workers in the union make less than $12 an hour.

According to Living Wage

Canada, the living wage in Kamloops — the per hour wage needed to just get by for a family of four, with two parents working — was $18.34 last year.

Gibbons said the union has proposed wage increases that would cost Emterra $1,600 a month.

If that is true — and we don’t have any information from Emterra as the company has decided to not comment on the specifics — why is there a labour dispute?

It’s a question echoed by KTW readers: A sampling: • “Our city managers, directors, co-ordinators should be ashamed. Kamloops residents should be not be expecting those in our employ (albeit indirectly) to work poverty-level wages just so that we can all pat ourselves on the back for doing our part in recycling. As a condition of the city’s contract with Emterra, there should be a stipulation that Emterra workers earn a decent, liveable wage.”

• “As soon as my blue bin is full, everything will be going into the grey bin. Why the city continues to do business with these low-wage third-party groups is disgusting.”

The question is: Can Emterra afford to pay its workers more?

If not, why not?

As customers of the company, do residents of Kamloops not deserve an answer?

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY HALL SHOULD COLLECT OR REIMBURSE Editor: I would like to complain about the recycling fee I am still being charged despite the fact the City of Kamloops is no longer picking up recycling, due to a strike at Emterra Environmental.

I called the city and was told I will continue to be charged 64 cents per pickup (based on the annual $33 fee) for as long as the strike continues.

This is government robbery.

We already get taxed so much and now the city is charging us a fee for something it is not even fulfilling on its end.

It’s not my fault Emterra went on strike.

The City of Kamloops said it will pick up

our recycling once the strike is over; however, where am I supposed to store all my recycling if the strike continues for more than two weeks?

This may be fine for a single person or a family of two, but when you have six or more people living in the same household, you accumulate a lot of recycling in a short period of time.

I recycle a full bin every week so, if this strike lasts for more than a month, I’m going to have a lot of recycling and nowhere to put it.

The city says I can take it to the Lorne Street bottle depot, but how long is that going to last before that depot tells us it won’t accept

any more recycling?

Then there is the cost of gas and the labour involved in getting it there.

I can just imagine if only half of the residents of Kamloops took their recycling to the Lorne Street bottle depot. It would produce more congestion and chaos than the first day of construction on Overlanders Bridge.

If the city wants to continue to charge us a recycling fee, it should devise an alternative plan to pick up our recycling every week — or reimburse us the fee to offset our personal expense to transport it elsewhere.

SOLDIERS HAVE POWER TO MAKE RIGHT CHOICE Editor: Re: Ted Joslin’s letter of June 23 (‘Women not made for war’): I appreciate the fact anyone can write a letter and voice their opinion, but I have to ask — do you support this man’s blatant sexism and victim-blaming?

In a society in which women are often shamed and blamed for the injustices brought upon them through no fault of their own, their abusers are defended and offered excuses?

Yes, Joslin is not wrong when

ARTS CENTRE BELONGS DOWNTOWN

he writes that war changes men in many ways (paraphrased).

But, I need to point out the fact the men who have been hurt by war have not had their ability to make choices taken from them.

And, if they make the choice to sexually assault or harass a female soldier, they choose to commit a crime and hurt another human being.

It is the wrong choice in which responsibility needs to be taken.

It is in no way the woman’s fault.

Providing more mental-health services and psychological screening, as well as raising men and women to respect each other in terms of consent and just being decent human beings, seems much more appropriate.

Another point to take into consideration is the number of men who are sexually assaulted by other men in the military.

Surely the most effective solution is to avoid placing men in the

(Cough, cough.)

Joslin’s statement is not only offensive to women, but to men as well.

He gives no credit to respectful soldiers who have proven that, despite the hardships of war, assaulting a fellow officer is not one of their legitimized coping methods (sounds ridiculous, right?).

I think we can do better than this.

One of the topics discussed is expected to be the Liberal pledge to reform Canada’s democracy by measures including more free votes for parliamentarians, transparency on Senate and MP spending and a commitment to reform the electoral system, including studying measures that include mandatory voting and preferential ballots.

Powrie said Goodale’s visit

will provide a kickstart to his summer campaign of doorknocking.

The elementary teacher who also instructs students at Thompson Rivers University will campaign hard now that the school year is over.

The federal election is set for Oct. 19.

“The bottom line is a lot of people are done with the present government, but are kicking tires where they’ll go,” Powrie said.

Powrie is challenging New Democratic Party candidate Bill Sindhu and Conservative MP Cathy McLeod for the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo seat.

TNRD directors add to flood relief ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

More relief is coming to the Village of Cache Creek.

The ThompsonNicola Regional District’s board of directors has voted in favour of a resolution that will see electoral area directors donate a portion of their discretionary funds to the village, to aid in relief efforts following flash flooding on May 23.

The resolution will see the TNRD’s 10 electoral area directors donate about $500 each to the village — less in the case of a few direc-

tors who didn’t have the sum available.

In total, the village will receive in the neighbourhood of $5,000.

“The generosity of people, related to the unrecoverable losses some of the citizens of Cache Creek suffered, is heartwarming, for sure,” said John Ranta, Cache Creek’s mayor and chairman of the TNRD board of directors.

All of the funds donated have been earmarked for individuals or small businesses that suffered as a result of the disaster.

None of the money will be used on village infrastructure.

A committee of what Ranta termed “community-minded residents” will decide how the funds are allocated.

Ranta pegged the cost of damage done to personal property in the village at about $3-million.

Roughly five properties were damaged beyond repair — two houses with foundational damage and another handful of properties in the Riverside Trailer Park.

Ranta’s estimated figure didn’t include damage to non-essential property, such as retaining walls and

landscaping, which are not covered by disaster-relief funding.

The mayor said recovery efforts are continuing to progress in the village.

Residents have put in their applications for disaster-relief funding and the municipality has a list of about 20 projects it would like to see completed.

Ranta pegged total damage costs at about $5-million, including personal and public property.

Residents had until this past Wednesday to file claims with Emergency Management B.C.

he Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association is a non-profit organization with a goal to develop the wine industry in Oliver and Osoyoos through education and promotion.

Originally known as the South Okanagan Winery Association and founded in 2007, the Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association (OOWA) redefined its brand image in 2011 to better reflect its geographical boundaries and 36 member wineries.

The Grapes

A

W I N E

In comparison to our neighbours in the United States and over in Europe, the Okanagan region is young. Growers are experimenting, and varietal plantings can boom or bust. Fortunately, we’re seeing more of the former with a number of strong contenders; we’re establishing what can grow – and what grows well and can best reflect the region.

Principal varietals, according to acreage, are:

planted

• Osoyoos: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah • Oliver: Merlot, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon With the diversity of growers in the region, there is as much diversity in plantings. From Pinot Noir to Tempranillo, Riesling to Viognier, the expression of terroir is in a period of exploration and discovery.

Regional History

The stories of Oliver and Osoyoos are intertwined with those of First Nation peoples. Today, the region is home to North America’s first Aboriginal owned and operated winery – NK’MIP Cellars - the first endeavor in the area was gold mining, dating back to 1887. The town of Fairview was established to the west of Oliver in 1890, but Fairview’s prosperity – and prospects – ended around 1926 with the end of the gold rush.

Agriculture blossomed in the 1920s with the construction of an irrigation channel flanking the Okanagan River. Desert landscapes suddenly had access to water, and the next two decades saw an increase in crops like tobacco and cantaloupe. Orchards quickly overtook the ground crops, bringing the attention of the fruit indus-

try. Packing houses and canneries sprung up, some of which were the foundation for The SunRype Corporation.

The first grapes were planted in the 1970s. Varieties like Schonberger, Marachel Foch, and hybrids were tried and tested. Some of the original vines remain, but most of the acreage had plants ripped up in the 1980s. That’s when the provincial government gave farmers a financial incentive to remove French hybrid vines.

It was in the 1990s that the south Okanagan saw indication of growth in its young wine industry. Today, more than 5,052 acres in the region are under vine – and it’s growing every year.

Climate

As the northernmost tip of the Great Basin Desert, arid landscapes and desertlike conditions should come as no surprise.

But desert-like isn’t the same as a desert: the area is an extension of the dry climate regime dominating the interior of northern Mexico and the northwestern United States. It’s a borderland, with desert attributes but slightly more rainfall than what occurs within desert classifications.

Sunshine & Degree Days

(It’s always sunny in the Okanagan!)

The south Okanagan valley receives its fair share of sunshine, proving the above adage to be appropriate more often than not

– and the summer is when the sun likes to shine. The area receives more than 240 hours of sunshine per month between May and August.

The southern Okanagan valley has some of the highest degree growing days in the province. The valley floor, where the majority of tree fruit and ground crops are still in production, tends to have fewer growing degree days than 100m (330ft) higher. As a result of occasional flash floods, alluvial fans help form benches of fertile soil left over from the days of glacial lakes. It’s an ideal environment for vines.

Cooler air can pool at the base of the valley, resulting in two growing class distinctions within hundreds of vertical feet.

Southwest-facing slopes experience the highest growing degree days.

This Class 1 growing area extends from Oliver to Osoyoos, on the east side of the valley, while the valley bottom is just shy of the same classification. With average temperatures of 29.2C in the summer (and record highs of 39C and beyond), the south Okanagan valley can appear to behave more like a desert to visitors unfamiliar with warmer climates.

Precipitation

Aside from heat units, one of the elements that differentiate a desert from having desert-like conditions is precipitation – in summer, and winter. A wetter spring kick-starts the growing season in

the south Okanagan, often with more than 30mm of rain in one month. This is where the words desert-like come in handy.

On average, the south Okanagan receives more than 300mm of precipitation per year, with less than 50mm of that in snowfall. Higher elevations – beyond the Class 1 growing areas, and creeping up the local mountainside – will see more snow than the valley floor.

Our Geography

To the north, basalt-faced McIntyre

Bluff acts as a buffer and aids in creating a microclimate unique to the South Okanagan. It denotes the end of one geographic zone and beginning of another – McIntyre Bluff is the northernmost point of the Great Basin Desert. As you pass through, a subtle shift in landscape is noticeable: the darker antelope brush found in the south is slowly replaced by more grey/green sagebrush, and barren grasslands experience an increase of vegetation and shrubs.

To the south, Osoyoos Lake moderates temperatures and provides a water source

for wildlife. Fed by the Okanagan River, Osoyoos Lake extends into Washington State and connects, eventually, to the Columbia River. Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir are original to the area and cling to the sides of Anarchist Mountain, bordering the east. In the west, a slow climb up the Okanagan Range keeps the area in a rain shadow and helps maintain the region’s desert-like climate. The area was sculpted eons ago by glacial movement, and its soil is rich with pockets of clay, limestone, and granite – ideal for growing grapes with which to express this distinctive terroir.

Water is the usual liquid of choice for thirsty race runners but the Half Corked Marathon takes a different approach to refreshment; participants are encouraged to sample wines from the Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association along the route, paired with celebrated regional cuisine from local chefs, restaurateurs and café owners, as they run, jog or walk the 18km route.

Inspired by the legendary Medoc Marathon in Bordeaux, the Half Corked Marathon is an homage to one of Canada’s most decorated wine regions and is the celebration of two benches in particular – the Golden Mile and Black Sage Road.

Soggy Beavers braved Race to Alaska

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

that point, we were all hallucinating.

“I At was full-on seeing and hearing things,

so was everybody else. And, that was the first three days.

”

— Tanner Ockenden on Race to Alaska

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

anner Ockenden awoke as the Pacific Ocean slapped him in the face.

As the Kamloops native pulled himself from the floor of the six-person outrigger canoe, where he had gone to sleep less than two hours before, he and his team were surrounded by six-foot seas, the darkness of the sky at 1:30 a.m. matched only by the black swells of 10 C water hammering the boat.

It was only the beginning of what would be a harrowing few days of weather off the west coast of British Columbia.

It was only the beginning of the inaugural Race to Alaska.

“There was a few times, probably going through all of our heads, that we thought we were in over our heads, just because the weather we were getting. It was the craziest weather they’d got in the area in 40 years,” said Ockenden, a graduate of NorKam secondary and Thompson Rivers University’s adventure-guiding program.

“Big, high-powered sailboats were snapping masts, getting blown to shore. All these crazy things were happening and we were like ‘Wow, we’re in this dinky little canoe.

How are we still here?’”

North America’s longest human and wind-powered race, Race to Alaska began on June 4, with teams hitting the water for the first of the 1,200-kilometre race’s two stages — a 65-kilometre qualifier in Port Townsend, Wash.

Boats then embarked on the main stage, running the nearly 1,150-kilometre stretch from Victoria to Ketchikan, Alaska, on June 7.

The race has no official course, with teams free to chart their own way in the unassisted trek along North America’s west

The Soggy Beavers — Russell Henry, Graham Henry, Mackenzie Punter, Tanner Ockenden, Ryan Schissler and Niklaas Rampen — arriving in Ketchikan, Alaska, following a 1,200-kilometre trek in a six-person outrigger. Ockenden is from Kamloops.

coast, surviving only on the supplies in their boat and their drive to reach the finish line.

Ockenden and company were the seventh boat to arrive in Ketchikan, running ashore in the Alaskan locale on June 18 — 11 days, five hours and 24 minutes after departing.

Team Elsie Piddock — a three-man crew in a racing sailboat — landed on June 12, just five days after departing from the starting line in Victoria on June 7, and captured the race’s $10,000 prize.

Though they missed out on the money, along with the set of steak knives for second place, Ockenden’s group, Team Soggy Beavers, was elated just to finish the race.

At times, it seemed the weather might have their number.

The Soggy Beavers had the edge at the start, opening up a healthy lead in the first six hours as they paddled in calm seas away from Victoria.

But, Ockenden’s early-morning bath heralded the beginning of a change in weather.

Smooth waters were replaced by swells reaching as high as 10 feet and 35 km/h headwinds slowed the team’s pace to a metre for every three paddle strokes. At times, it felt to Ockenden like the boat wasn’t moving.

It would be nearly 70 hours before the

Soggy Beavers again found some semblance of normal in both the weather and their schedules.

“At that point, we were all hallucinating,” Ockenden said. No one in the boat had been able to sleep in those first few days. Wet and chilled to the bone, they worked to keep the outrigger afloat.

“I was full-on seeing and hearing things, so was everybody else. And, that was the first three days, essentially,” he said.

Perhaps surprisingly (given what they went through), the Soggy Beavers fared better than most. A total of 24 teams had withdrawn from the race by yesterday.

Eleven teams had completed the race, while five more still continued to make their way north.

The weather would eventually turn for Ockenden and his crew as they passed through the Johnstone Strait and past the northern tip of Vancouver Island. And, as the weather improved, the Soggy Beavers were able to make up some ground, paddling through the nights and sleeping on beaches in the warmth of the sunlight, putting more than 160 kilometres behind them each day.

Back on track, they pulled into Ketchikan about a week later — the first human-powered boat to complete the trek — to a horde of screaming fans.

Ockenden said he’s not sure if the Soggy Beavers will participate in the Race to Alaska again, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more adventures on the horizon.

“We kind of got to the dock and it was this almost antsy feeling of ‘What’s next?’” he said. Already, he’s planning a sea-kayaking trip from the southernmost tip of Argentina to the northernmost tip of Alaska.

“Definitely, relaxation has been nice, but I’m not really one to like sitting still for very long,” he said.

TAKE A HIKE: The Soggy Beavers started a fundraising campaign for their trip to Alaska, hoping to collect $6,000 for the trek.

The group has committed to donating half of every dollar raised to the Take a Hike Youth at Risk Foundation, which endeavours to engage at-risk youth through a combination of adventure-based learning, academics, therapy and community volunteer work.

Venom look to snap skid In the words of the late, great wrestler Dusty Rhodes, the Kamloops Venom have fallen on hard times.

After three consecutive losses, Kamloops is aiming to bounce back tomorrow against the Kelowna Raiders at Memorial Arena, with the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League game slated for 7:30 p.m.

The Raiders are dwelling in the TOJLL basement with a record of 0-12-1, while the Venom (5-7-1) are clinging to third place, one point ahead of the Armstrong Shamrocks (5-8-0).

At 13-0, the Vernon Tigers appear to be the class of the league, holding an eight-point lead on the second-place South Okanagan Flames.

South Okanagan downed Kamloops 17-12 on Saturday at Memorial.

Scoring in a losing effort for the home team were Jerome Thorne (5), Riley Peterson (2), Kyle Pauwels (2), Ryan Emery, Blaine Boomer and Haden Hoover.

Kamloops has three games remaining, with each of them scheduled to be played at Memorial Arena.

Vernon will be in town on Sunday — game time is 6:30 p.m.

Racing into summer at Sun Peaks ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As Jason White drifted across the finish line at Sun Peaks, he looked to the clock for the course’s first official time.

1:06.25.

Trading in his No. 21 of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series for the No. 4 of Sun Peaks’ new Mountain Cross Cart Course, White made the course’s inaugural descent yesterday morning, later piloting his gravity-powered car to a personal best of 1:01.35.

Located on the resort’s Sunbeam ski run, Sun Peaks said the track is North America’s first Mountain Cross Cart Course.

“It felt like I was at the track, actually,” White told KTW. With each trip down the hill, the professional driver’s thoughts were of beating his pervious best.

“I was kind of thinking it’s going to be good for my overall driving practices.

“You have to be really smooth.”

The new track measures 512 metres, with a vertical descent of 52 metres from start to finish. The Finnish carts can be expected to reach speeds of 35 km/h as they head down the mountain, fuelled solely by gravity, with drivers expected to maintain momentum while using their brakes to navigate the twists and turns.

A short trip up the hill on the mountain’s platter lift and drivers are ready for their second run.

“It’s a lot faster than people think,” White said.

“Thirty-five kilometres per hour through a 90-degree hairpin is pretty fast.”

White’s trip down the hill was a sneak peek, the professional racer becoming the first person to pilot the newly

completed course, but it will open to the public this morning at 11 a.m.

A valid drivers licence is required.

Four laps of the course, which will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., is $25.

The course is just one of a number of the attractions highlighting Summer Kick-off Weekend at Sun Peaks Resort.

Partnering with Molson Coors, Sun Peaks is offering an opening weekend Lift and Lager promotion, where purchase of a lift-accessed hiking, sightseeing or bike park ticket is packaged with a beer at the mid-mountain Sunburst Lodge, also home to a barbecue and live DJ. Both the alpine hiking trails and downhill and cross-country mountain biking trails are open for business.

“It’s in the best shape that we’ve ever had for opening, obviously, with the early spring,” said Aidan Kelly, director of marketing and sales at Sun Peaks Resort.

The entirety of the resort’s biking offerings,

with the exception of the Altitude cross-country trail, are open for business. The majority of the hiking trails are open, too, though Kelly said some treed areas may still be a bit wet.

In the village, live music and entertainers will accompany the first Sun Peaks and Region Farmers’ Market. Held on the main village walkway, the market opens for business on Sunday and will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every Sunday through Sept. 6.

Next weekend, July 3 and July 4, will mark the beginning of the resort’s Free Summer Concert Series, with performances from Platinum Blonde and Lou Gramm: The Voice of Foreigner. General admission to the concert series is free of charge.

By the time Gramm takes to the stage, White hopes to have again beaten his personal best. In his next trip down the course, he’s aiming for a 59-second finish.

“I can’t wait to do it again,” he said.

Masterton man STEPHEN WHYNO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Devan Dubnyk’s career resurrection earned him the Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey on Wednesday at the NHL Awards.

The former Kamloops Blazer started a franchise-record 38 straight games in almost singlehandedly turning the Minnesota Wild into a playoff team after being traded from the Arizona Coyotes.

In 2013-2014, Dubnyk was traded

from the Edmonton Oilers to the Nashville Predators and later to the Montreal Canadiens and finished the season in the minor leagues.

On a one-year deal worth $800,000 US, Dubnyk played well for the Coyotes and then starred for the Wild.

Dubnyk went 27-92 with a 1.78 goalsagainst average, .936 save percentage and five shutouts in getting Minnesota from 12th place in the Western Conference to a wild-card spot.

Dubnyk finished ahead of Ottawa

Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond and Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang in voting by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association to win the Masterton.

The Regina product had an outstanding career in Kamloops, playing five seasons with the Blazers and finishing with a save percentage of .912 and a 2.60 goals against average.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price stole the show at the NHL Awards.

He captured the

Hart Trophy as the most valuable player, Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender and Ted Lindsay Award as the most outstanding player as voted by his peers.

Price became the first goaltender since Dominik Hasek in 1998 to win all three.

“Everything has just fallen into place for some reason,’’ Price said Wednesday night at the MGM Grand. “The team has been playing well.

Things are just awesome at home. My family is doing great.

“It’s just been such a blessing.’’

Devan Dubnyk, formerly of the Kamloops Blazers, earned the NHL’s Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

SOCCER UNDER THE SUN

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Corey Wallis and the Kamloops Heat are scheduled to play Vancouver United FC in Pacific Coast Soccer League premier division action tomorrow at Exhibition Park. Game time is 4 p.m. Vancouver (8-1-2) sits atop league standings, while Kamloops (3-4-1) is in sixth place. Temperatures on the sidelines are expected to reach about 40 C.

Jake Kryski and Nolan Kneen will have the opportunity to impress Hockey Canada brass this summer.

The Kamloops Blazers players will attend selection and development camps for Canada on the August long weekend.

Kryski, who notched 24 points, including 11 goals, in 65 games with the Blazers as a 16-year-old, will attend Hockey Canada’s under-18 selection camp.

Of the 43 players invited to the camp, 22 will represent Canada at the 2015 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament from Aug. 10 to Aug. 15 in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovakia.

Kryski played for Canada Red at the under-17 World Hockey Challenge in November 2014, where he had five points, including a goal, in five games.

Kneen will attend Hockey Canada’s National under-17 development camp.

The 16-year-old defenceman played this past season for the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League, recording 10 assists in 32 games.

He also played five games for the Blazers as a 15-year-old, notching one assist.

Of the 111 players attending the development camp, 66 will be named to Canada’s three national teams at the 2015 World

Tournament Capital Sports

BRIEFS under-17 Hockey Challenge.

The tournament will be played from Oct. 30 to Nov 7. The host cities are Fort St. John and Dawson Creek.

KMHA pads piggy bank

The Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA) has received a $175,000 community gaming grant from the B.C. government.

The grant will help the association offset expenses such as ice rental costs, KMHA president Jon Pankuch said.

“Kamloops has the largest minor hockey association in B.C. with 1,399 players registered last season,” Pankuch said.

“Our mandate is to keep registration fees affordable for families so all children can play.

“Receiving the community gaming grant helps us accomplish this.”

Every year, the provincial government approves $135 million in gaming grants that benefit more than 5,000 local non-profit organizations that serve communities throughout B.C. Organizations interested in applying for commu-

nity gaming grants can find information and applications at pssg.gov.bc.ca/ gaming.

All-star status

The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association will field five all-star teams this summer, representing Kamloops in events across the province.

The 11-and-under AAA Riverdogs, the 11U AAA Tier 2 Riverdogs, the 13U AAA Riverdogs, the 13U A Riverdogs and the 18U AA Riverdogs will all vie for provincial crowns. It is the first time in 15 years the KMBA will field a 18U AA all-star team.

The Players Bench midget AAA Riverdogs and the bantam AAA Junior Riverdogs will also continue their seasons through the summer.

KRSL results

Jay’s Service put a licking on Kal Tire MTG on Tuesday in 30-plus Kamloops Recreational Soccer League play.

Louis-Gendron Gendron-Fafardi (3),Todd Vandenpol and Graham MacGregor scored for Jays, while Doren Quinton notched a goal for Kal Tire.

In another 30-plus tilt on Tuesday, Nick Rinaldi and Ben Hutchins scored for Mortgage Intelligence in a 2-1 win over Oops Cafe, which had a goal from Dan Dukquits.

FAITH

Being faithful — but not Jewish

T

he Jews are called the “chosen people,” i.e. chosen by God to be personally rescued from Egyptian slavery, to inherit Israel, “the land of milk and honey,” to be the exemplars of how to worship God properly and to be the people who would produce the Messiah, Jesus.

So, one would think the Bible would be full of marvellous Jewish role models, holy men and women, to inspire us with their lives of faith and devotion — and it is.

Nevertheless, the Jews are often described as “stiffnecked” and repeatedly blow their special relationship with God with their faithlessness.

Yet, that special relationship endures — but not just for Jews.

The God of Israel is everybody’s God. That’s why the Bible

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

is also full of examples of faithful, holy people who weren’t Jews at all.

It all started with Abraham, the father of all Jews (and Arabs as well).

He was a Chaldean from the city of Ur, in present day Iraq.

His father, Terah, was an idol merchant, but Abraham questioned the worship of multiple idols and came to believe there was only one true God. In response, God made a covenant offer to him: Go forth from

St. Andrews Lutheran Church Bible based, Christ centred & family oriented.

your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great: and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Quite a promise.

So, despite being completely immersed in a polytheistic culture, and in opposition to his own family, Abraham put his faith in the one true God. For that he was blessed, and through him (and his descendent Jesus), all the families of the earth are blessed.

The story of Job is one of the most enduring tales in all of human literature.

It is the story of how faith can be maintained

in the face of extreme suffering.

Job was not an Israelite, but from the “land of Uz”.

Uz is specifically mentioned in the Book of Lamentations as being part of Edom (present-day southern Jordan).

The opening lines of Job say, “This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.”

He even offered daily purification sacrifices on behalf of his children, just in case they had secretly sinned.

God, in a conversation with Satan, says, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him . . .”

Satan is confident he can get Job to curse God and is allowed to rain down calamity after calamity on him.

But, Job never breaks and refuses to curse God, despite

huge loss and relentless unfair criticism from so-called friends.

He is often cited as the best example of enduring faith in all of the Bible.

These stories are from the Old Testament, but the New Testament also recounts several examples of non-Jewish faithfulness.

The most obvious are the books of Luke and Acts, both written

by Luke, a Greek physician and an early disciple of St. Paul.

One of the stories of great faith recounted

by Luke was that of a Roman centurion in the town of Capernum.

As a centurion, he would have been in charge of the garrison in that town, as Israel was then occupied by the Romans.

The centurion’s highly valued servant was dying and he asked Jesus to heal him.

As Jesus walked toward the house, the

centurion astonished him by saying, “I don’t deserve to have you come under my roof . . . but say the word and my servant will be healed . . .”

Jesus responded, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.”

Then Jesus healed the servant from a distance.

Such is the high reputation of the centurion’s faith that his words are recited by the faithful at every Catholic mass.

Another nonJewish example is the Canaanite woman from the area of southern Lebanon (Tyre and Sidon).

She begs Jesus to deliver her daughter from demon possession.

Jesus points out that his primary mission is to the Jews, but she offers a clever retort that shows considerable spiritual insight.

Jesus responds, “Woman, you have great faith. Your request is granted.”

Finally, Jesus himself gave one of the best examples of faith in action, in the (fictional) story of the Good Samaritan.

They were despised half-breeds, but the Samaritans’ great mercy and generosity, in contrast to the hard-heartedness of the Jews in the story, has resonated throughout the ages.

Great faith in the one true God is the birthright of every human being — both Jew and Gentile.

Jehovah’s Witnesses will gather in Interior Savings Centre this weekend for their annual convention. Last year’s event drew a large crowd of believers.

Jehovah’s Witnesses ready to Imitate Jesus Jehovah’s Witnesses will discuss the keys to family happiness during their 2015 Imitate Jesus! Convention, which begins tomorrow at Interior Savings Centre.

The Witnesses’ three-day convention series will demonstrate how Jesus’ example can give parents and children the tools to build stronger and more united families.

The program will also include an examination of Jesus’ famed Sermon on the Mount.

“Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount offers timeless advice that can help parents to better use their time and resources to build a more secure and loving family environment,” said Trevor Campbell, a spokesman for the convention program.

The public is invited to attend.

Sessions begin at 9:20 a.m. on all three days of the convention and admission is free. Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses are supported entirely by voluntary donations.

GLOBAL WARMING

The walking dead

“There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead,” said Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich.

“We are sawing off the limb that we are sitting on.”

He was talking about the Sixth Extinction, the huge loss of species that is underway right now. It has been discussed in public before, of course, but what Ehrlich and other scientists from Stanford and Princeton universities and the University of California Berkeley have done is to document it statistically.

Animals and plants are always going extinct, usually to be replaced by rival species that exploit the same ecological niche more efficiently. But the normal turnover rate is quite slow, according to the fossil record: About one species of vertebrate per 10,000 species goes extinct each century. Ehrlich and his colleagues deliberately raised the bar, assuming that the normal extinction rate is twice as high as that, and still got an alarming result.

In a study published this month in Science Advances, they report that vertebrates (animals with internal skeletons made of bone or cartilage — mammals, birds, reptiles and fish) are going extinct at a rate 114 times faster than normal. In a Activity

separate study last year, Professor Stuart Pimm of Duke University estimated that the loss rate may be as much as a thousand times higher than normal — and that includes plants as well as animals.

“We are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,” said Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, lead author of the Science Advances study. “If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover and our species itself would likely disappear early on.”

Indeed, Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson has estimated that at the current rate of loss, half of Earth’s higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100.

It’s fair to say that we are the victims of our own success, but so is the entire biosphere.

fied yet) that provide essential “ecosystem services” is going to be far harder, because the web of interdependence among apparently unrelated species is very complex.

At the very least, however, it is clear that we must restore around a quarter of our agricultural land to its original “wild” state and cut back drastically on fishing.

It’s far from clear that we can do that in time and still go on feeding all of the human population, but the alternative is worse.

James Lovelock put it very bluntly in his book The Revenge of Gaia.

“If we continue business as usual, our species may never again enjoy the lush and verdant world we had only a hundred years ago,” he wrote.

“What is most in danger is civilisation; humans are tough enough for breeding pairs to survive . . . but if these huge changes do occur it seems likely that few of the teeming billions now alive will survive.”

We have appropriated the most biologically productive 40 per cent of the planet’s land surface for our cities, farms and pastures, and there’s not much room left for the other species.

They have been crowded out, hunted out or poisoned by our chemical wastes. Their habitats have been destroyed. Even the oceans are being devastated as one commercial fish species after another is fished out.

And, still our population continues to grow, and our appetite for meat causes more land to be cleared to grow grain not for people, but for livestock.

All this even before global warming really gets underway and starts to take huge bites out of the ecosphere.

We are on the Highway to Hell, and it’s hard to see how we get off it.

In a way, climate change is the easiest part of the problem to fix, because all we have to do is stop burning fossil fuels and reform the way we farm to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Month in jail for ‘lying’ ex-Harper pointman Del Mastro PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — A former member of Parliament who spoke for Prime Minister Stephen Harper when it came to electoral-fraud allegations was sentenced yesterday to one month in jail and barred from running for office for five years for cheating during an election campaign.

Dean Del Mastro deliberately broke spending rules then tried to cover up his crime, said Superior Court Justice Lisa Cameron, who ruled that incarceration was appropriate for the first-time offender.

“He was prepared not only to break the rules but to be deceitful about it,’’ Cameron said.

“This type of cheating and lying will result in serious sanctions.’’

Cameron convicted the former Conservative MP for Peterborough last fall of violating the Canada Elections Act during the 2008 federal election. She found he had knowingly exceeded spending limits, failed to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his campaign, and submitted a falsified document.

Montana’s workers help deliver baby SASKATOON — A restaurant manager in Saskatoon delivered more than just food

after a customer went into labour.

Staff at Montana’s say a couple came into the eatery Wednesday night to pick up a takeout order.

While they waited for their food the woman went into labour.

Despite a lot of commotion the manager on duty helped deliver a baby girl.

General manager Tanya Kalyn says the staff is only trained in first aid, so her manager waited for paramedics to arrive to cut the umbilical cord.

The couple says they are probably going to name the baby Montana.

The proposed goldand-copper mine, 35 kilometres from the Alaska border, is con-

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PORT MOODY MUSICIAN BRINGS ‘NORTH OF THE BORDER, SOUTH OF THE BORDER’ SOUND TO THE PARK JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

F

or Greg Drummond, the time is now.

When KTW reached him for a phone interview, he was walking off the ferry and had already performed four shows to promote his album, Drive, released only a week earlier.

“We’re playing a lot of the new tunes,” Drummond said.

“People are really digging it.”

He and his bandmates — Michael Lothian on keyboard, accordion, trumpet and vocals; Alanna Pearce on drums; Mike Meroniuk on guitar and mandolin; and Marcus Abramzik on bass — received positive feedback after their stop on Saltspring Island.

While the island isn’t a place artists typically venture for shows, Drummond said he wanted to play there because he had heard good things, being that he hails from Port Moody.

“I thought it was worth a shot,” he said.

About 100 people attended the “little pub show” and the band was encouraged by attendees to return to their corner of British Columbia.

“It was pretty fun,” Drummond said.

He will make his way to Kamloops to perform during Music in the Park on Friday, July 3.

The group has yet to perform in the Tournament Capital and Drummond said those who pop into Riverside Park around 7 p.m. can expect a mix of folk rock and storytelling.

When asked about his sound, he called his album Americana-Canadiana.

“North of the border, south

Drummond’s first album, Walking Man, was released in 2011 and, this time around, everything was done a bit differently.

“It was more collective,” he said, having built up a full band over the years.

“It’s more of a band sound.”

He also received a substantial grant to help with marketing the album.

The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent On Recordings, funded by the federal government’s Department of Canadian Heritage, awarded him a $21,000 Juried Sound Recording grant, which helps fund a portion of the costs for production of an original full-length sound recording and promoting it,

which helped with the release of his new music video.

Our Time is Now, directed by Brandon Fletcher, is based on the Clint Eastwood flick, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

“I always wanted to do a spaghetti western spoof music video,” Drummond said.

“It fit the song.”

After Kamloops, his tour moves east to Revelstoke and wraps up in Calgary, in mid-July.

He’ll round out the summer with some festivals before heading out on tour again in the fall, this time across Canada.

Drive is available online by searching for Drummond on Spotify, Bandcamp or iTunes.

A hard copy of the album will be available at the show.

Art isn’t limited to a canvas — sometimes, it’s in a cake pan. The best part about creative cooking is if you are dissatisfied with your creation, you can eat it and start over.

SUMMER

COOKING UP CREATIVITY

B

aking and decorating are creative pastimes.

The culinary arts is truly a high-art form as it is the only creative expression we can see, feel, touch, smell, taste and sometimes even hear — if, perhaps, it’s crunchy.

Cooking and baking has been a passion of mine for the last 20 years and I am still learning new things.

Here’s some edible art fun for everyone to create.

• Food colouring • White fondant

KARLA PEARCE

The Creative

EDGE

Rainbow fondant cake creations:

Supplies: • Box of vanilla cake mix

Instructions: Mix the cake according to directions and divide batter into four equal parts in bowls. Mix food colouring into separate bowls. Using the centre of your cake pan, pour colours in one at a time. Do not mix. Bake.

After the cake has cooled, roll out fondant on wax paper and cover the cake like a blanket.

Cut out or form desired shapes and place on the cake.

They stick on their own, so you don’t have to do anything to secure them — it’s a lot like working with Playdough.

Use a watercolour paint brush and make food colouring puddles on a plate and paint away. Remember to leave a few white areas.

Now your cake art is done.

Karla Pearce is host of Creating with Karla Pearce, which airs on CFJC-TV and Shaw TV. For story ideas, email art@karlapearce.com.

Celebrate Canada Day with Music in Whistler

By DAWN GREEN Just when you thought Whistler couldn’t get any better, it does. North America’s number one mountain resort pulls out all the stops to make the Canada Day long weekend one to remember, with street entertainment, special events and endless outdoor activities. The icing on the cake?

Free concerts by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra all week long.

Music has the remarkable capacity to trans�ix our attention and stir our souls, bringing people together since the beginning of time. No wonder then that the best way to celebrate this vast, diverse and staggeringly unique country of ours is through the power of music. And that’s exactly what organizers had in mind when they incorporated the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) into Whistler’s Canada Day events four years ago. The free concerts have proved to be

a resounding success, with visitors and locals alike drawn to the mesmerizing classical melodies emanating throughout Whistler.

“The performances, the energy of the people, and the stunning backdrop of the mountains combine to create an ambience that can’t help but put you in a good mood,” explains Patricia Westerholm, Tourism Whistler’s communications manager.

“It’s a magical experience in a remarkable setting.”

Whistler Olympic Plaza is

the place to be for the VSO concerts that showcase a grandstand of classical music, and the festivities kick off on Canada’s birthday, July 1. Nothing beats the experience of witnessing a world-renowned orchestra performing a moving rendition of O Canada. You might just �ind yourself singing along and perhaps even have a tear in your eye as you ponder the genius of this country, its wilderness and its people.

Our American neighbours are often quite surprised (and pleased) to hear the orchestra

perform The Star-Spangled Banner on Independence Day, July 4, notes Westerholm.

Aside from the national anthems, the programs for each concert vary, with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Bernstein featuring on the playlists.

This year, there’s an added bonus to the programming, with the inaugural concert program by the Whistler Institute Orchestra, conducted by VSO Music Director and Institute Artistic Advisor Bramwell Tovey. Students from around the world who have participated in the eight-day VSO Orchestral Institute at Whistler will perform July 5.

The entertainment doesn’t stop there. Canada Day events, parades and activities can be found throughout the village and the fun spills into the following week, conveniently making it an extra-long weekend of celebration.

Mugford’s art of volunteering

V

olunteer Kamloops has awarded a Volunteer Recognition Award to Lynne Mugford, who has been working since 2013 at The Kamloops Arts Council for their numerous events.

Mugford is a volunteer about which orga-

nizations dream.

Starting Art in the Park on Canada Day in 2013, Mugford has dedicated many hours of her time and passion for the arts to not only the Kamloops Arts Council, but many other non-profit Kamloops organizations such as Western Canada Theatre and BC Living Arts.

Over this past year,

INDUSTRIAL SHOP FOR LEASE

Mugford has lent her talents to selling tickets, being an Arts Council cheerleader, and providing information to visitors at events such as the Children’s Arts Festival, Art in the Park, Art Exposed and the Writers Festival.

No matter the task, she doesn’t shy away from behind-thescenes tasks required

before any big event.

Volunteer Kamloops described Mugford as having a “what can I help with?” attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever she can.

The Kamloops Arts Council is grateful for Mugford’s dedication to the local arts scene.

FUN FIT FOR FAMILIES IN IDAHO LAUREN KRAMER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

A

chill settles over my body as the dark tunnel swallows me and my bike.

I pedal hard, pushing for the light at the end of the 2.67-kilometre dungeon and keeping a sharp lookout for deer, moose and elk.

The animals are elusive on the day I’m burrowing into the innards of Idaho’s Bitterroot Mountains, but the tunnel’s moisture leaves me a triumphant stripe of mud down my back.

The rugged Bitterroots stretch between Idaho and Montana and the best way to traverse them is by bike.

The 24-kilometre trail known as the Route of the Hiawatha was part of the Milwaukee Railroad, which was built in 1909 to transport cedar logs and later moved freight and passengers until its bankruptcy in 1977.

Twenty-one years later, the railroad was lifted and the gravel trail, complete with seven massive trestles and 10 tunnels, became a mountain biker’s paradise.

One of the reasons is its gentle downhill grade that demands little if any physical exertion.

The slope perfectly accommodates kids as young as five and seniors in their

80s and 90s.

Over the course of 90 minutes, riders drop 1,000 feet in altitude and find themselves surrounded by magnificent forests of fir, birch, pine and cedar, with spectacular views from trestles suspended 230 feet above the lush valley floor.

Along the way, you pass the grave of a railroad worker who jumped off a moving train to avoid a fire in the 1910 and was buried alongside it.

Informative signs describe the riotous gambling, drinking, fighting and dancing that took place at the construction camps erected over the three years it took to build the railroad.

History hangs heavy over North Idaho’s Silver Valley, seeping out and informing everything you do.

After our ride, my family and I stop in Wallace, a small city that grew exponentially when deposits of silver, lead and zinc ores were discovered in the 1800s and the first mining claims were made.

Some miners made a fortune from those claims, but others were not as lucky.

We venture into one of the latter, the Sierra Silver Mine, where our mine tour is led

by Lenny Hoiland, a 30-year mining veteran.

Walking us into the dark bowels of the mine, he describes the daily challenges and dangers of hard-

Idaho offers excursions suitable for all ages, from tots through seniors.

rock mining.

By the end, we wonder out loud why anyone would choose such dangerous work and Hoiland’s eyes go misty.

“I loved it,” he said.

“There was camaraderie, a sense of accomplishment and good money working in the mines. If I could, I’d go back in a heartbeat.”

Idaho’s summertime temperatures climb quickly into the high 30s and, with our kids clamoring for a swim, we head to Coeur d’Alene, a city located steps from the lake that bears its name.

Joining the locals, we plunge into its deliciously cool water while around us parasailers soar into the sky and pleasure boats zip through the still water.

We dry off on board a cruise of Lake Coeur d’Alene as the captain delivers a narrative on some of the exquisite waterfront homes we pass, many of them accessible only by boat.

Among those homes are fortunes made and lost, dreams fulfilled and some abandoned.

On one island, the water laps against the foundations of a home

that represented one man’s dream.

“Only after he built the foundations did he learn the land wasn’t actually his,” the captain said.

While we’re impressed with the lake and Coeur d’Alene’s funky downtown — filled with gift shops and galleries — our kids are after a different area attraction: Silverwood Theme Park.

The largest theme park in the Pacific Northwest, its 413 acres in nearby Acton are divided into Boulder Beach Water

Park, with lazy rivers, waterslides and pools, and Silverwood’s landbased entertainment, which features four roller coasters and some 70 different rides and attractions.

The beauty of having the two parks side by side is one entrance fee pays for access to both.

We spent a fun day moving between the two and experiencing the rides geared at thrill-seekers and those better suited to soft adventurers and the tot crowd.

When the heat became unbearable,

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!

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and TD Business Excellence Awards is proud to be celebrating our 29th Anniversary in 2015.

Long considered to be the premiere business event of the year, the Business Excellence Awards are a high profile, prestigious accomplishment for Kamloops businesses. Each year nominations are collected from the middle of May through to the end of June. From there, all nominees are contacted and requested to submit a detailed nomination form which is reviewed by the judges to narrow the field to three finalists in each category. Finalists are formally announced at a ceremony in September. Judges will then interview each of the finalists to determine the winner which is announced at a Gala affair in November. Our judging panel varies for each category and generally consists of a past winner, an award sponsor and someone knowledgeable in the field or category.

If you enjoy your community newspaper NOMINATE us NOMINATIONS OPEN MAY 13TH - JUNE 30TH
