City tries to adapt to climate change STORIES BY DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

tatistics show storms that hit Kamloops are increasing in intensity — and work is underway to assess how the physical infrastructure created to handle water is responding.

Jonathan Welke, the city’s drainage engineer, said data has been collected for years at a weather station at Kamloops Airport and has shown the intensity and duration of storms has been growing.

“This matches the anecdotal evidence we also have,” Welke said, adding work is underway to develop a strategy to adapt to storms like the one that flooded Westsyde last month and one in mid-July last year that, in just 25 minutes, overwhelmed drains and led to water and debris scattered throughout the city.

Tom Pypker, who teaches in the naturalresources science department at Thompson Rivers University, agreed with the conjecture.

“We should anticipate this will continue,” he said, noting even the once-in-100-years storm reference “is all based on old climate realities.”

While he hasn’t studied the same data, Pypker said current scientific models, coupled with the changing climates, also indicate there will be more intense storms broken up by longer periods of dryness.

Welke said the city’s watershed master plans weren’t on the schedule to be completed this year, but the July 23, 2014, storm prompted council to speed up the plan to look at the city’s infrastructure. Last month, Urban Systems was hired to do that work.

City CAO David Trawin said a preliminary report should be headed to council in the fall that will recommend how the municipality should move forward on the matter.

The most recent storm, one that saw parts of

Westsyde Road look like a river and which led to flooding in Oak Hills — a mess of mud and debris that is still being dealt with — will cost the city between $500,000 and $750,000 to clean up.

“We can’t keep spending that every year,” Trawin said.

“We need to fix the systems.

Welke said Peterson and Guerin creek areas will be studied first, with consultants looking at how those areas adapt and react to the weather.

Data drawn from those evaluations will be applied as the rest of the city is reviewed, he said.

One of the realities of Kamloops’ topography is with steep terrain and water coming fast, it’s hard to manage, Welke said.

“We’re adapting to climate change and doing key planning on this,” he said.

“It has to be cost-effective, too.”

Meanwhile, work continues on Westsyde Road to repair damage. Private contractors are working in the Oakdale Mobile Home Park cleaning out catchment pipes and other debris.

26 2015

‘This is not going away’ There’s a reason an auger is hard at work on Westysde Road, digging through a massive pile of debris in a 30-inch wide concrete pipe.

Blame it on Mother Nature.

Throw in clomate change and the fact new developments alter the contours of the land and those onein-100-year storms that have hit Kamloops three years in a row can wreak havoc.

“We’re a fishbowl on a hill,” said Micheal Firlotte, the city’s utilities manager.

People in the area hit hard by a sudden storm last month have questioned the maintenance of the pipe and other infrastructure

Marathon Marathon Relay Half Marathon 8km & 3km

designed to remove rainwater.

Firlotte said debris now being removed is the result of that one big storm.

“It buried the pipe,” he said.

“The pipe was working fine.

There might have been a bit of debris in it but, trust me, if there had been a lot, people would have known it after any rain.”

The pipe, which Firlotte thinks was installed in 2003, is designed to be self-cleaning, taking water from the drainage channel and moving it onto Parkview Drive and then out.

“That’s the only route for all that water,” Firlotte said, noting when so much debris came down the

mountain, the waterway became clogged, leading to flooding.

Firlotte said the system is designed to handle the average rainfall that might come to Kamloops and acknowledged having three massive storms in consecutive years is like winning the lottery.

“Sometimes it happens.”

He pointed out each time one of the major storms has hit, it’s been one area affected greatly.

In 2003, for example, a similar storm flooded areas of Valleyview.

Last year, it was the Sahali area and, this year, the southern part of Westsyde and Oak Hills.

Firlotte said any adjustment to the land “changes where the water goes. That’s a big part of it.”

Breakfast free for participants, $5 for spectators.

Rivers University, who teaches natural-resource science, agreed.

During last year’s storm that caused flooding in Sahali, he was doing research in the Lac Du Bois area and noticed the water level increased by just one millimetre.

It’s not surprising the storms tend to hit the city in July, he said, when the province as a whole is heated up and wildfires abound.

“If there’s lots of heat and a moisture source, it can lead to thunderstorms and there are plenty of lakes around Kamloops,” Pypker said.”

Firlotte said the city needs to look at how to make adjustments to accommodate more-frequent large storms.

“This is not going away.”

Kamloops imam calls Senate idea ‘discriminatory’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Imam Mazhar Mahmood leads Muslims in Kamloops.

A recommendation by a Senate committee to certify imams is discriminatory, according to the leader of the city’s only mosque.

A Conservativedominated committee of Senate looking at ways to combat terror has recommended training and certifying imams practising in this country.

“If I am certified, all clerics should be certified,” said Imam Mazhar Mahmood, who leads Muslims living in Kamloops.

Mahmood said he is a member of a number of Muslim bodies in Canada, including the

National Council of Canadian Muslims.

He is also general secretary of the Imams Association of Western Canada.

He said radicalization of young people in his country is done by “self-professed” imams or through contact on the Internet.

“We have zero tolerance for radicalization,” he said of organized Muslim groups in this country.

Catholic Bishop David Monroe said organized religions, including his own, are self-policing through internal procedures and outside measures, including criminal record checks. He said it is not fair to certify

religious leaders.

“I wouldn’t single it out to one group.”

Monroe said radicalization of youth is not dependent on meeting with clerics from

any religion.

“Just look at how much talking [on the Internet] goes on without qualification.”

Spina’s motion panned ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops councillor’s plan to put distance restrictions on new liquor stores is leaving some in need of a stiff drink.

Earlier this summer, city council approved a motion from Coun.

Marg Spina that would not allow new liquor stores within one kilometre of existing outlets that sell alcohol.

That includes grocery stores with licences to sell only B.C. wines, a program the province is in the process of rolling out.

Because the motion requires a

ultimately hurting the industry.

Debbie Woodward of Privato Winery said getting into grocery stores is a big deal for small wineries like the four operating in the Kamloops area.

“It’s just like any farmer, they’ve got vegetables that they now want to market and have an opportunity to market them in new grocery stores across B.C. “Any farmer would be thrilled about doing that,” she said.

Woodward said the regulations will not only have an effect on the local market, but could lead to similar barriers in other cities.

Trish Morelli, director of the

into under-served areas, rather than locate in neighbourhoods where two or more stores are already competing.

She said the new player could lead to some businesses closing.

“I really subscribe to the theory of how much is too much — and some areas are saturated,” she told KTW at the time.

Spina said there are also social consequence associated with allowing too many stores, such as a rise in over-consumption.

Stone believes concerns about an increase in alcoholism due to wine in grocery stores are “frankly ridiculous,” noting both KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake and the province’s health officer weighed in on the wine plans.

“The clientele for this is going to be men and women who are picking up their kids from the soccer game who need to stop at the grocery store on the way home to pick up pasta, a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine,” Stone said.

Nor is everyone on council convinced by Spina’s plan.

Coun. Ken Christian tried to have it dropped from consideration rather than sent to public hearing.

Coun. Dieter Dudy also voted against moving ahead.

Mayor Peter Milobar didn’t participate in the debate because he owns a liquor store.

I really subscribe to the “theory of how much is too

much — and some areas are saturated.

— Coun.Marg Spina

”

change to the city’s zoning bylaw, council must hold a public hearing and conduct another vote for Spina’s motion to become law.

At its Tuesday meeting, councillors voted to proceed with that process.

The decision is being criticized by both local wine makers and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

Since there are existing liquor stores within a kilometre of most, if not all, city grocery stores, they say the bill will make it virtually impossible to get Kamloops wines on supermarket shelves,

Kamloops Wineries Association, said council doesn’t seem to understand what the province is proposing for grocery stores.

“Having a premium showcase aisle of B.C. Wines in the grocery store is not a liquor store,” she said. “It’s totally not a liquor store.

“It’s an opportunity to showcase premium B.C. wine and agri-food products together and it’s actually a more modern, more healthy way to sell wine.”

Spina did not respond to a request for comment from KTW, but said in an earlier interview she wanted to bring in the rules to encourage liquor stores to move

Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said she disagrees with any recommendation that government involve itself in the certification of imams.

tick talk It’s a number that has been the same since the 1990s.

“It’s just rock steady.”

Patrick, an infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist at the University of British Columbia, told KTW there have been plenty of factors contributing to growing concerns about Lyme disease in the province’s Interior: opinion purported as fact and misinformation among the biggest culprits.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Amid arguments and opinions, worry bordering on panic, Dr. David Patrick goes back to the data.

And the data shows B.C. does not have a sky-rocketing Lyme disease problem.

“I do have to say, testing thousands of ticks across B.C., including the Interior, we have Lyme disease in only one in 200 ticks,” he said.

IT’S TIME FOR TICK SEASON . . .

But, also part of the problem are Americanbased labs, so called Lyme-detection specialists, which say they can more accurately detect the illness in patients.

“Those labs have been shown not to pick up Lyme disease any better than sending it to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control or the National Microbiology Lab,” Patrick said.

In fact, in a recent study done on 40 healthy individuals, a Lyme-lab diagnosed 23 individuals with the disease.

“This is causing an insane amount of confusion because, for every person we have who has actual Lyme disease in B.C., there are at least 50 or 60 who are getting a false-positive test from this lab and who are joining the throng,” he continued.

“You’ve really taken a modest problem and you’ve converted it into what looks like a giant pandemic.”

Stories on social media sites and those done without proper fact-checking, have also contributed to the paranoia surrounding the illness.

Lyme disease is very real, with life-altering symptoms — ranging from fatigue, a bullseye skin rash and muscle spasms or weakness, to cognitive disfunction and arthritic symptoms — but Patrick said the research shows it’s not on the rise.

“I think it was really good that the Lyme advocates raise the question, but I think it’s also important that you sit down and say, ‘OK, you had this idea that there was a lot more Lyme disease in ticks, that’s not what the data shows, so change the idea,’” Patrick said.

“And, if you don’t change the idea, it’s not a very scientific idea.”

The situation in the Interior is very much at odds with that in southern Ontario, for instance, where Patrick

said there has been an incursion of Lyme disease.

There, a different breed of tick, one that carries Lyme disease much more efficiently, is at fault. So is a greater proportion of deciduous leaf cover, where ticks seem to do better overwintering.

The Interior is primarily coniferous tree cover.

A 2013 study, authored by Dr. Muhammad Morshed, found the rate of Lyme-causing bacteria in ticks in the Pacific Northwest to be at 0.64 per cent, after collecting 467 ticks of varying species and life stages. The study included insects from Belcarra, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Cranbrook, Cultus Lake, Duncan, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Sechelt, Squamish and West Vancouver.

The B.C. C. Centre for Disease Control also says the prevalence of Lyme-causing e-causing bacteria a in B.C. ticks has remained mained

REMOVING TICKS ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Interior Health Authority, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and the Provincial Health Services Authority all agree, the best way to remove a tick is with a pair of fine tweezers.

Using the tweezers, grasp the tick as close to its mouth as possible, being careful not to squeeze it. Pull upwards with gentle pressure, making sure not to jerk, unscrew or twist the tick, as it may cause its head to separate from the body.

Once it has been removed, ensuring all mouth parts have been removed from the skin as well, clean the area with soap and water or alcohol.

Do not try to remove the tick with grease, gasoline or any other substance. Holding something hot, like a match

or a cigarette, or injecting the tick with any substance, is not advised.

“The idea of irritating the tick by doing something directly to it may actually cause it to regurgitate its stomach contents into you, which could give a higher risk of infection if it has Lyme Disease or some other bug in it that could be given to a human,” said Dr. David Patrick, an infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist at the University of British Columbia.

Once the tick has been removed, it can be sent away for testing. Place it in a container with a tight-fitting top, along with a dampened cotton ball, and bring it to a physician or public health professional. doc Your doctor may decide to put you on a round of antibiotics to treat a nu number of possible infections.

constant for nearly 20 years.

According to Interior Health Authority medical officer, Dr. Sue Pollock,

Lyme disease activity is not currently on the increase in the Interior Health region and there have not been any confirmed cases in

It’s a sentiment echoed by Patrick.

“It’s a very low infection rate going on in B.C.,” he said.

Jobs, economy cited as main issues in campaign CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jobs, jobs and jobs.

The three nominated candidates who will vie to represent the riding of Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo in three months all say jobs and the economy will be the No. 1 issue when Canadians go to the polls in little more than three months.

One of those candidates — Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod — identified all three of her top issues as related to the economy: jobs, balanced government budgets and federal transfers to Canadians for items like child care and seniors’ benefits.

While the writ for the Oct. 19 federal election isn’t expected to be dropped until mid-September, unofficial campaigns for the big three parties are well underway.

“We’re doing something every day,” said Liberal candidate Steve Powrie, who is hoping to turn the party’s fortunes behind leader Justin Trudeau. Four years ago, Liberal candidate Murray Todd picked up only five per cent of the vote — within a few votes of the Green party.

Powrie said in an age of Facebook and Twitter, he is not ignoring the traditional doorknocking.

“That one-to-one engagement is really important. You’ve got social media and computer lists,

but people often want a minuteand-a-half to say hi. Sometimes it’s issues and sometimes it’s just meeting them and you’re off to the next place.”

While those who favour electoral reform complain MPs often go to Ottawa to represent the riding with only 30 or 40 per cent support, McLeod crushed the opposition in 2011 with about 52 per cent of the vote. New Democrat Michael Crawford was a distant second with 39 per cent.

Today, the NDP is riding high on its unlikely and historic victory in Alberta. National polls place the party at the top with about 32 per cent nationally. Trailing closely are the Conservatives and Liberals. All three parties are within five per cent.

In Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, one national projection

by CBC contributor Eric Grenier, who maintains a polltracking website, has the New Democrats and candidate Bill Sundhu winning the election — at a 75 per cent probability — if the election were held at the end of June.

“I don’t pay much attention to polls. They go up and down,” said Sundhu, a city lawyer.

“But, there appears to be a groundswell for change that the NDP has picked up across the country, particularly after the Alberta election.”

Like Powrie, Sundhu is doorknocking and meeting with small

groups as he builds support for his first political campaign.

“Jobs and the economy is always at the top of the list,” he said of voter concerns.

While only three candidates are nominated so far, the Green party is soon to be represented in this riding. Matt Greenwood ran for the Greens in 2006 when he was a student in political science and economics at TRU. Nine years later, he is a staff member at ASK Wellness and will again represent the party.

“I think the Green party has important positions to get out. I want to make sure they don’t get lost in the mix.”

While McLeod is an incumbent with two victories under her belt, she has some restrictions in campaigning early.

“I do some door-knocking in the evenings. But, to a degree people expect me to do my role as MP.” McLeod arranged for her highway MP sign to come down well before the writ is dropped in September, required by election rules.

Taking that action, however, also feeds speculation the Tories may make an early election call and extend the campaign period, while the Oct. 19 fixed election date would remain the same.

The longer campaign period allows the party, flush with cash, to spend more than the Liberals and NDP.

CONSERVATIVE MP MCLEOD TO SKIP JULY 28 FAIR VOTE CANADA FORUM While incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and her party will skip a Fair Vote Canada forum at the end of the month, organizers say change may be in the wind with the two other main parties in support of altering the way Canadians vote.

With the federal election only three months away, Fair Vote Canada hopes to push electoral reform on the public agenda. Both the Liberals and the NDP have official platforms in favour of electoral reform.

Gisela Ruckert, who heads Fair Vote Canada in Kamloops, said the goal is to elect 170 MPs in Canada who favour change, enough to pass a bill. The non-profit group — whose slogan is “Let’s make 2015 the last unfair election” — wants to see a system that better aligns popular vote with the number of seats parties receive in the House of Commons.

In the last federal election, the Conservative party received 39 per cent of the vote, but maintained 54 per cent of seats in the House — enough to pass or defeat any bill.

Liberal candidate Steve Powrie and NDP candidate Bill Sundhu are scheduled to attend the forum, on July 28 at 7 p.m. in TRU’s Clocktower Theatre. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has pledged to select an all-party panel to study electoral change and bring in legislation to ditch the current first-past-the-post system within 18 months. The NDP favours a mixed-member proportional system.

The Conservative party does not favour electoral change.

“There are multiple invitations coming in for forums even though the writ has not dropped,” McLeod said in an e-mail message. “My focus right now is MP responsibilities, campaign planning and door-knocking. We will look at doing a number of geographically located general debates closer to the election.”

The evening will begin with showing how the current first-past-the-post system works and compare it to proportional systems. Afterward, candidates will give their stand on the issue.

VIEWPOINT

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

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

HOT: The debate in the legislature in Victoria this week during an all-too-rare summer session of question period.

The B.C. Liberal government reconvened the legislature to allow all 85 MLAs to speak on the subject of LNG investment, yet sparks flew over all sorts of matters, some of which included Kamloops MLAs Todd Stone and Terry Lake sparring with their NDP counterparts.

Addressing the LNG issue and the NDP’s opposition to it, Stone mangled the facts a bit when likening the Opposition’s opposition to the Kamloops Blazers’ management decision to clean house after a Memorial Cup win in the 1990s, but his point was clear.

OUR

NOT: Kamloops Coun, Marg Spina’s desire to prohibit sales of alcohol, including B.C. wines, in any grocery store within one kilometre of an existing private or government liquor store.

Spina told KTW her concern revolves around too many licencees resulting in a loss of business and over-consumption.

The free market will handle the first concern.

The second concern is an example of nanny-state thinking that has no place in Kamloops in 2015.

We echo Transportation Minister Todd Stone when he labelled Spina’s motion as being “frankly ridiculous.”

VIEW

HOT: The weather and excitement tomorrow as Slide the City comes to Kamloops for the first time.

Thousands are expected to gather on Hillside Drive to experience sliding down a 1,000-foot tarp under sunny skies and a mercury expected to hit the mid-30s.

Have fun!

Gassing up the boycott idea

A

ccording to GasBuddy. com, the average per-litre price of gas at the pump in Canada a year ago this week was $1.35.

The price of a barrel of West Texas crude oil a year ago this week was about $110.

This week, for no apparent reason fathomable reason, prices at some pumps in Kamloops shot up to $1.28 a litre.

The price of a barrel of oil this week crept up to about $51 by Wednesday.

By yesterday, those $1.28 per litre prices had fallen to $1.22.

Still, as three callers over two days asked: What the hell is going on?

What the hell, indeed.

When prices at the pump rose to all-time highs of a buckfifty during that dizzying, dangerous, economy-at-full-throttle, growth-is-great period leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, every “expert” we and other media spoke with tied a direct link between record-high pump prices and record-high barrel prices.

Always, always, always was the price we paid at the pump tied to the price of West Texas crude or the U.K.’s Brent crude (which was at $58 per barrel this week compared to the West Texas price of $51).

Always, that is, until the price of oil plummeted and the price at the pumps only gradually decreased.

When oil spikes on the global market, prices at the pump jump in lockstep, usually by a lot.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS When oil on the global market falls quickly and dramatically, prices at the pump tend to emulate the pace of a snail.

When this started happening late last year, the price at the pump did eventually fall to below a dollar a litre.

But, with the global price still mired in the same $50 range, the numbers at gas stations are not that much different than they were when global oil prices were double.

Why? Why are gas prices so high relative to global prices?

If you ask the “experts,” they will cite anything and everything but the global price of oil.

It’s the inventory count. It’s refinery maintenance issues. It’s supply and demand. It’s taxes.

It’s speculators. It’s the number of pumps active in the Dakotas.

Seriously, if they do not have an answer to a question to which “gouging” is the only legitimate answer, they will find one.

It’s akin to an experiment I did this week. I walked into five gas stations when the price

spiked to $1.28 and asked the clerks a simple question: “Why did the price jump and why are prices so high when barrel prices are so low?”

Granted, they are clerks employed by Big Oil and are not expected to know the ins-andouts of oil pricing any more than me.

However, the answers mirrored those of the so-called “experts” to which we in the media often turn.

One clerk cited supply and demand. Another clerk cited Alberta’s oil-related recession.

Two clerks shrugged their shoulders. The last clerk laughed, said something about supply and demand and taxes and noted she is glad she rides a bike.

The tax angle is worth noting.

Last month, I drove through five Deep South states — Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas — and noted the pump prices along the way.

On average, the price per litre was 62 cents in U.S. currency.

And, it must be noted, the state of the highways and the quality of rest stops were astonishingly superior to anything found here in tax-happy B.C. One of the callers to KTW on this issue suggested a boycott of gas stations, a rotating snub of each and every Big Oil brand name.

Sounds good to me.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY OF KAMLOOPS: STAY OUT OF MY YARD Editor: Kamloops council’s decision to enact a ban on using cosmetic pestcides on residential yards is yet another case of the tail wagging the dog.

Even the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce said the ban will cost jobs and is unenforceable.

With voters taking part in a fall referendum on the proposed performing-arts centre, maybe we could add another question: Do we need a pesticide ban?

If residents vote no, should the pests on council who voted in the ban resign for not listening to the taxpayers who pay them?

The bylaw won’t stop people from buying and using the product.

There just won’t be any warning signs for pet owners to beware of sprayed ground.

Unsafe use and storage will be rampant as recommended rates are hard to figure out in small quantities.

There will be overspraying into neighbouring yards on windy days. There will be people who don’t follow instructions and use double or triple the recommended rates, thinking more is better.

There will be more pesticide containers placed in garbage cans rather than being safely

stored and disposed of by professionals.

All this because a few self-appointed environmentalists feel it is best.

The city taxes me on my property and can fine me if I don’t look after the right-of-way in the alley behind my home and in the area in front of my house.

The city is now taking away my means of controlling its weeds.

It’s my house and yard and I’ll do what I feel needs to be done for my enjoyment.

Stay out of my yard.

Jay Barlow Kamloops

PESTICIDE BAN MAY IMPACT CURB APPEAL, VALUE Editor: Curb appeal is worth between five and 10 per cent of a home’s selling price.

It’s too bad our councillors didn’t take 20 minutes to Google that fact instead of costing homeowners untold millions of dollars in deflated selling prices.

Nothing turns a potential buyer off more than a messy yard and, for those readers who might welcome the reduction in property taxes

that reduced selling prices will bring, dream on.

I can cite 90-million reasons why that is not going to happen while this council is in power.

For those who might opt for xeriscaping (an expensive alternative), I can only reflect on our last home sale.

We hired a professional to plan our yard, spent thousands of dollars having it all installed — and guess what?

The first thing the new owners did was to tear it down and install sod.

In fairness, they were from out of town and accustomed to traditional values.

For those who don’t mind a clover-infested lawn, be prepared for bee stings, which is no laughing matter for those with serious allergies.

Don Cornborough Kamloops

DISAPPOINTED IN HOW COUNCIL IGNORES PUBLIC Editor: I am so disappointed with those on council who voted in favour of a cosmetic-pesticide ban — Tina Lange, Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Arjun Singh.

I am disappointed they were not swayed by the groundswell of support in favour of rejecting Lange’s motion.

Even though liquor and tobacco are infinitely more harmful to

individuals, their families and the community, they are permitted and sold.

I will remember this vote when it is time to elect a new council in 2018.

Joseph Ferrigan Kamloops

Editor: Wow — council really thought long and hard about a decision to ban herbicides and pesticides, keeping the iron fist on landowners and taxpayers of our city.

It is clear the public has no say when it comes to our personal property, which we purchased and maintain with pride to make our city shine.

If council does not like the way

we respond to its decisions, it just votes again.

Keeping our property clean and beautiful is one thing my wife and I take pride in and, if that means responsibly using small amounts of weed killer to do so, we have that right.

If Coun. Tina Lange had bugs in her bushes, would she spray?

I would hope so.

Holy cow! Farmer’s defence doesn’t mooove judge TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The necessity of having to rescue his escaped cattle from the South Thompson River was not enough to convince a judge to acquit a Pritchard farmer charged last fall with driving while prohibited.

Don Short stood trial in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday.

Court heard the 69-year-old caught the attention of police after pulling a U-turn in front of an RCMP road block near the Pritchard Store on Oct. 23.

Chase RCMP Const. Carl Kennedy said he followed the pickup truck for about two minutes before it pulled into Short’s property.

Short got out of the driver’s side door and admitted he had been behind the wheel.

“He told me he was driving

because he had received a report that his cows had escaped and were on the roadway,” Kennedy said.

“He advised that he had to travel to that location quickly.”

Short was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court.

His truck was impounded.

Testifying in his own defence, Short said he had no choice but to go after his runaway cattle after his neighbour gave

him a heads-up.

“I got a phone call from Tammy,” he said.

“She said, ‘Your cattle are heading for the highway.’ I jumped into the truck, drove down to the gate and said, ‘Let’s go. We gotta get the cattle from the highway.’”

Defence lawyer Jay Michi argued it was a necessity for Short to go after his cows.

Short’s fence runs into the South Thompson River.

Michi said the fact the animals had escaped that enclosure presented “imminent peril.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand, however, ruled Short should have known river levels fluctuate and that his cattle were not in imminent danger.

Short was sentenced to 14 days in jail, to be served on weekends.

He was also handed a oneyear driving ban.

Door-to-door delivery in Kamloops to end Mounties seek CANADA POST TO CEASE URBAN FRONT-DOOR SERVICE NEXT YEAR DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Postal workers will gather at Sahali Centre Mall today at 3 p.m. to protest what they knew was going to be announced eventually — door-to-door mail delivery is scheduled to end in Kamloops next year.

Lara Plummer, president of the Kamloops local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), said the information was announced yesterday. No specific date was provided and Plummer said she expects to receive that news in coming weeks.

“It’s a sad day for Kamloops,” she said.

There are about 100 CUPW employees at the city’s delivery centre.

Phil Legault, manager of media relations for Canada Post, said the conversion includes the Tkemlups Indian Band area

(postal codes V1S, V2B, V2C, V2E and V2H) and includes 25,553 addresses.

People affected will receive information from Canada Post in coming days, including a mail-in survey.

Legault said no regular full-time or parttime employee will lose their jobs as a result of the initiative.

“As we have stated throughout this process, we will reduce our workforce largely through attrition as people retire.”

The announcement in Kamloops came the day after CUPW headed out on the road on a cross-country campaign to save home mail delivery.

CUPW is also campaigning hard for people to vote against the Conservative government in the Oct. 19 federal election.

In announcing the campaign, Mike Palecek, the national president of CUPW, said, “Our message to Stephen Harper and

his Conservatives: You cannot run, you cannot hide from these cuts.”

CUPW is already challenging the move to community mailboxes in court.

In December 2013, Canada Post announced the plan to stop urban doorto-door deliver for financial reasons. At the same time, Canada Post announced an increase in the cost of stamps.

At the time, the federal government said mail volume per household had dropped by about 25 per cent in the previous five years.

Canada Post also said then that its revenue had dropped $20 million in the first three quarters of 2013, with about five-million people receiving door-to-door delivery at a cost of $269 per address.

Another 3.8 million residents receive mail through group boxes. The average cost per box, the corporation said, is $117.

100-pound robber

Kamloops Mounties are searching for an armed robber who made off cash after holding up a Chinese-food restaurant on the North Shore.

RCMP Const. Jason Epp said police were called to Lee’s Garden restaurant in the Fortune Shopping Centre just before 9 p.m. Wednesday after an employee hit a panic alarm.

Investigators believe the bandit entered the store, flashed a handgun and demanded cash before fleeing with a small amount of money.

Efforts to track the suspect with a police dog were unsuccessful.

Epp said police aren’t sure if the suspect, who had feminine features but a masculine voice, is a man or a woman.

He or she is described as white, between 20 and 25 years old, standing five-foot-one and weighing about 100 pounds, with earrings in both ears, tattoos on both arms and short brown hair.

The robber was wearing a black hat, sunglasses, a black handkerchief over the face, a black T-shirt, black pants and a grey backpack with yellow and red accents.

Crash victim identified The BC Coroners Service has confirmed Stewart Walter Green was killed when the vehicle he was driving westbound on Highway 1, just east of the Cherry Creek store, crossed the centre line and collided with an eastbound vehicle.

Green died at the scene of the 5:30 p.m. accident. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to hospital for treatment.

Bus industry review following crashes

HAVING A BALL

Butch Beblow snags a bouncing ground ball on Wednesday at Charles Anderson Park. Beblow was among a group of men’s senior slo-pitch players getting in some practice in preparation for the August B.C. Seniors’ Summer Games in North Vancouver.

Following two serious bus crashes on the Coquihalla Highway in two consecutive years, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the province will undertake a comprehensive safety review of the industry.

Passengers were seriously injured in a crash in June near the

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Coldwater Interchange and in another crash in August last year.

“These type of accidents in B.C. are very rare, they just don’t happen very often,” Stone told reporters in a conference call yesterday.

But, following the accidents, Stone said

it’s prudent to look at other provinces and states to compare statistics and safety measures. Those include the number of hours a driver is able to get behind the wheel.

There are about 500 motor-coach companies in B.C. operating about 1,700 buses.

Legal changes on the way B.C.’s ongoing health firings scandal is about to share the stage with the Liberal government’s vaunted liquefied natural-gas project law.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton said she will introduce a legislative change next week that gives Ombudsperson Jay Chalke more powers to access data and interview witnesses as he investigates the firings of eight health researchers.

B.C.’s legislature has been recalled to ratify legislation involving a proposed LNG plant near Prince Rupert, but continuing controversy surrounding the

BUNKS BUNKS BUNKS GALORE!

September 2012 dismissal of the health workers has prompted Anton to take action.

The government requested earlier this month that Chalke review the flawed firings, but he told an all-party committee he needs more powers to do an investigation.

The NDP have been calling for an independent public inquiry instead, but the government has refused, saying that would an expensive and lengthy process. One of the fired health researchers, Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide following his dismissal.

JOHNSON DEFENDING TITLE MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

T

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

hree-year-old Brooklyn, who yesterday morning was dancing to boy-band music on the radio, had finished breakfast and was playing with daddy’s suitcase while he was on the phone with KTW. American hammer thrower Kibwé Johnson and wife Crystal are expecting child No. 2 later this summer.

Life is pretty damn good — and an Olympic medal would make it even better.

“I moved here to work with Dr. B [Anatoliy Bondarchuk] to win an Olympic medal, namely the one on top,” said Johnson, who came to Kamloops in 2008.

“Now that I’m throwing well again, I’m very, very excited to put another year of training in to see if I can realize that goal.”

The 2016 Olympic Summer Games, for which the 6-foot-2, 236-pound brick house from Oakland is a good bet to qualify, run from Aug. 5 to Aug. 21 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Seven years ago, Johnson expected his rookie season in the Tournament Capital to be tough going as he adapted to a new training style, which saw him throw more often during training than he had previously.

“The whole year was shot, as I expected it to be but, from that point on, I gained every single year until Brooklyn was born,” said Johnson, who turns 34 today.

Johnson had his highwater-mark year in 2011, winning gold at the Pan Am

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

American hammer thrower Kibwé Johnson will aim to win his second consecutive Pan Am Games title next week in Toronto.

Games and setting his personal-best mark of 80.31 metres.

Brooklyn’s arrival in April of 2012, a few months prior to the Olympics, caused “everything to go haywire,” said Johnson, who threw 74.95 metres at the London Games and placed ninth.

“The next few years were spent trying to figure that puzzle out,” he said. “We

A15

seem to have figured it out this year.”

This season has seen Johnson throw consistently near 75 metres as he prepares to set a season-best mark at the Pan Am Games in Toronto next week.

The men’s final is scheduled to get underway at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

One of the five-time U.S.

champion’s greatest accomplishments to date is his gold-medal performance at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Mexico, where he threw 79.63 metres.

Defending his title this year would be another amazing feat.

Johnson said he would love to throw between 79 and 81 metres this season, preferably saving his best for the world championship final in Beijing on Aug. 24, one day before his second child’s due date.

“Yeah, the timing on that was kind of a fail on our part,” Johnson said with a laugh.

Throwing 80 metres and qualifying for the 2012 Olympic final — which hadn’t been accomplished by an American in a decade — remains Johnson’s career highlight, but a podium finish in Rio would steal top spot.

He will shut down his season after worlds in August to be with Crystal, a former Canadian champion hammer thrower, and children before training starts to ramp up before Olympic trials next July.

This will likely be Johnson’s last shot at the podium on the world’s biggest stage as he plans to parlay his athletic success into a career in coaching, having learned from one of the best in Bondarchuk.

“My purpose in track and field was to come here, learn everything I can and then help spread the word about the training,” Johnson said. “It needs to be told, especially in my country.

“In the U.S., there really isn’t anyone who can call themselves an expert in hammer.”

Ice Box closure would hurt user groups MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ice in Kamloops can be tough to come by at the best of times.

If the Ice Box Arena closes its doors, shinny sheets will be even harder to find.

“All I can say is we are getting inquiries from ice-user groups, leagues and individuals who are looking for ice on city rinks in the winter that also appear to be booked for the Ice Box, so it’s a bit of a scramble to find everyone the ice they need, that’s for sure,” said Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civicfacilities manager.

Gary Hartnell, who owns and operates the Ice Box, said he might have to sell with the cost of repairs required to fix a recent ice-plant mechanical failure proving too much to afford.

Hartnell said he is speaking to a potential buyer who might keep the arena running. Multiple sources have said the Ice Box, if sold, will become a warehouse.

If the ice is removed, the ramifications will be felt by dozens of user groups, including the Kamloops Vibe of the

South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League.

“It wouldn’t be good,” Vibe head coach Gerry Smith said, noting the Ice Box is the team’s home arena.

“It would be very difficult, actually. I know we’ve made a number of efforts to secure ice from the city on a full-time basis and we have not been successful at that and we’ve been trying for a couple years.

“We’re always fine toward the end of the season, when minor hockey wraps up, but it seems to have it pretty much filled up.”

Beer-league heroes, women’s league players and drop-in beginners will be without a place to play, said Mark Perry, longtime member of the Rat Dawgs, a local men’s team.

“We’ve been playing out there for the last 15 years,” Perry said.

“We’re in a position of trying to find ice at the city and there isn’t a lot of ice unless you want to play at 10:30 at night.

“I don’t know what they’re going to do. It would create quite a void. Hopefully, they can find a solution.”

Kamloops team celebrates 40 years of hockey ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In 40 years, they’ve never missed it.

When the Rusty Blades Hockey Tournament rolls around each spring, the boys from Kamloops get on the phone and put together a roster, a team that has, in large part, remained the same for nearly half a century.

Then, they head to Kelowna and play, still competitive despite having some of their better hockey

years behind them.

“It’s almost like a second family,” said Dennis Ulveland, who played his 38th year at the 2015 tournament and has been with the

team since the beginning.

“It’s almost like relatives that you might not see but, when you get together, it’s instant.”

The tournament began in the 1970s, an exclusive event for Okanagan Telephone employees.

It started with just a handful of teams, but has grown over the years as the company has changed. It continued when, in 1975, Okanagan Telephone was snapped up by B.C. Telephone and, later, B.C. Telephone by Telus.

Now, more than 40 years later, employees, family and friends still hit the ice each year.

The Kamloops team boasts 11 players who

date back to the days of B.C. Tel, seven who have been members of the team for all 40 years, never missing more than a season here or there.

“The reason we think this is kind of a special team is we’re the only team in the tournament that has been there since Day 1 and we’re the only team that you would look at and say ‘You’ve got guys on that team that have been there since Day 1,’” Ulveland said.

“I think it’s kind of special in that regard.”

Van Gitzel, who still lives in Kamloops, is the only member of the Kamloops team to boast a perfect attendance record. He’s a part of the team’s coaching staff, a playing coach, along with five others who have hung up the skates but aren’t yet ready to walk away from the tournament.

“We’re the most well-coached team,” Ulveland joked.

“Guys that don’t play anymore say ‘No, I’m still coming.’ They sit and watch and help and have fun.”

There’s no end in sight for the club, even after being on the ice all these years. If the day ever comes when they no longer want to play in the tournament, Ulveland said they’ll still get together, watch a hockey game or two, maybe play some cards after a team meal.

After 40 years in the Rusty Blades tourney, they’ll have plenty to reminisce about.

“It’s one of those bonds that suddenly you create and it just worked,” Ulveland said.

“It’s like magic.”

FINDLAY KEEPS RUNNING Peter Findlay of Kamloops finished first in the 50- to 59-yearold division and 11th overall at the gruelling 50-kilometre Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run in North Vancouver on the weekend.

The Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame member crossed the finish line in 5:40:12.

Tournament Capital residents Rick Brewster and Tom Nevin also entered the race.

Brewster placed second behind Findlay in the 50- to 59-yearold division and 42nd overall with a time of 6:28:51, while Nevin was 16th in the 40- to 49-year-old division and 72nd overall with a time of 6:59:21.

The race took runners up Black Mountain, a 4,000foot climb, to Cypress Bowl ski area before descending to Cleveland Dam. The trail then climbs over the shoulder of Grouse Mountain to Lynn Canyon, then it climbs the Seymour Mountain section before finishing in Panorama Park in picturesque Deep Cove.

Findlay, the seemingly ageless Kamloops athlete, won the race in five consecutive years, from 1990 to 1994, setting the course record in 1991,

Corryn Brown has again been awarded the Spirit of Sandra Scholarship.

The $5,000 award, named after late Canadian curler Sandra Schmirler, was presented by the Sandra Schmirler Foundation. It includes $2,500 to help with educational expenses and $2,500 toward the costs of curling competitively.

Brown also won the award in 2014. She is studying toward becoming a chartered public accountant at Thompson Rivers University.

As a part of winning the award, Brown has committed to organizing a fundraiser in the Kamloops community to build awareness and raise money to support the mission of the foundation, which is to donate to newborn intensive-care units.

Exhibition losses

The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association (KMBA) mosquito AAA RiverDogs dropped a pair of exhibition games in Chilliwack on the weekend, in preparation for the upcoming Valley of Champions Tournament in Kelowna.

Chilliwack topped the Dogs 9-8 and 15-2.

Jack Kennedy and Kyle Sanford made their AAA debuts on the mound, combining for two innings of work and allowing a total of two runs on three hits.

Semifinal exit

The KMBA peewee A RiverDogs went 2-1 in round-robin play in a tournament in Ridge Meadows on the weekend, but were bounced from semifinal play by Campbell River.

The Dogs lost the extra-inning game by three.

Alexander Willis, Connor Kennedy, Lochlan Scholefield and Keegan Pittendreig grabbed MVP honours.

The peewees will be in Burnaby on the weekend for the Fun in the Sun Tournament.

Johnson, Spieth in good position DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth wasted no time seizing a rare opportunity to chase a Grand Slam, opening with six birdies in 11 holes at St. Andrews and keeping his name high on the leaderboard yesterday in the British Open.

And so did a familiar foe — Dustin Johnson.

Eight times zones and an ocean away from Chambers Bay, Johnson and Spieth picked up where they left off a month ago when Spieth beat him by one shot in the U.S. Open to capture the second leg of the Grand Slam.

On this day, Johnson got the better of him with a 7-under 65 and looked like the player to beat at St. Andrews.

He overpowered the Old Course with such a blend of power and accuracy that Johnson hit wedge into all but three of the 14 par 4s. Three of them were into the wind.

The other was No. 9, where he putted from just off the green.

Johnson had a one-shot lead over six players, includ-

ing former British Open champion Paul Lawrie, twotime U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen and Jason Day, playing for the first time since coping with symptoms of vertigo at the U.S. Open. Zach Johnson and Danny Willett played in the afternoon as the wind strengthened, making their 66s even more impressive.

Spieth and Louis Oosthuizen, who won the last time the Open was at St. Andrews, were among those two shots back at 67.

Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., shot a 1-under 71, while David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., was 2-over 74.

The morning was suited for scoring, so it was critical Johnson, Spieth and all the other early starters post a low score.

“Everybody knows the weather Friday and Saturday is going to be very difficult, so today I thought was very important to get off to a good start and try to make as many birdies as you can,’’ Johnson said. “Because the next couple days, it’s going to be very difficult.’’

It was every bit of that for Tiger Woods.

A two-time Open champion on these links, Woods hit into the Swilcan Burn on the first hole, didn’t make a birdie until the 14th hole and had to scramble to salvage a 76, his worst score in 13 rounds as a pro at St. Andrews. He was tied with 65-year-old Tom Watson, who had a 76 in his final British Open.

The buzz came from the top of the leaderboard, especially with Johnson and Spieth making this feel like the U.S. Open, except for the location and green colour of grass.

Spieth opened with two straight birdies and looked as solid as ever with the putter.

Johnson also converted putts after wedges into so many greens for birdie, along with a 7-iron into 10 feet on the par-5 fifth hole for eagle.

They are playing together for the opening two rounds, and they laughed and chatted as if this were Thursday at a regular PGA Tour event.

“No chat about the U.S. Open at all, as I wouldn’t imagine there would be, other than talking about the differences in the course,’’ Spieth said. “But I enjoy playing with Dustin. I’ve played a lot of golf with him.’’

He also knows what to expect. Johnson is among the most athletic players in golf, and the most powerful. He was dialled in at Chambers Bay and it appeared as though the three weeks he spent away from competition didn’t hurt him in the least.

Spieth was along for the ride when Johnson stayed on the attack, often hitting it some 50 yards past Spieth and Matsuyama. Along with five birdies and an eagle, Johnson saved par from 10 feet and 15 feet on the 16th and 17th holes as the wind gained strength.

“If D.J. keeps driving it the way he is, then I’m going to have to play my best golf to have a chance,’’ Spieth said.

Dollar to hurt Canadian teams PETER HENDERSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Professional sports teams in Canada are facing the prospect of being priced out of the competition as the Canadian dollar flirts with values not seen in more than half a decade.

Canada’s NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball franchises pay their players in American dollars but collect most of their revenue in Canadian currency, so the loonie’s drop yesterday to 77.10 cents U.S. puts a strain on their bottom line.

Economist Glen Hodgson wrote a book on the business of professional sports, and he says the exchange rate is one of the biggest concerns for professional sports teams in Canada.

“It’s going to cost them more and more,’’ he said.

In the mid-1990s,

when the Canadian dollar was worth less than 75 cents U.S., the country lost multiple franchises as the Quebec Nordiques, Montreal Expos and Winnipeg Jets all moved south.

The reasons behind each move varied, Hodgson said, but the exchange rate was a factor and expedited each franchise’s exit.

“Even if the Nordiques were selling out, they had to make $1.40 for every U.S. dollar of salary,’’ he said.

“That added a huge cost burden to those franchises to the point where it just wasn’t sustainable.’’

Although the relationship between payroll and performance isn’t perfect, Hodgson said, teams have to pay their best players and attract high-value free agents if they want to remain competitive and retain the interest of fans.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  RUTH SUMMERS KAATZ October 31, 1923 ~ December 26, 2014

In Loving Memory of

Walter Edward Mobbs March 25th, 1920 – July 15th 2015

JOHN HENRY WIERSEMA

Walter Mobbs was born in Mission BC where his father homesteaded before the 1st World War. The family moved to the Bonapart River area when Walter was a young lad. They later moved to Watch Lake BC where they bought land from Stan Eden and built the Watch Lake Lodge. Walter’s mother, Marion, was the school teacher.

Walter loved the ranching life of the Cariboo and was guiding hunters for the lodge by his teen years. He took a winter job when he was 16, with his brother, Fred, hacking ties with a broad axe for the railroad. At one point he was bucked off a horse and broke his shoulder.

He found out about that many years later when he had x-rays.

May 8, 1949 July 18, 2011

Walter signed up for the 2nd great war and was trained as a driver mechanic. He served as a training Sergeant in Vernon, at the UBC gun towers in Vancouver, and on the North Coast where he often gathered the wood and meat. He was disappointed not to go overseas.

After the war he worked for Booth Trucking in Salmon Arm, and then went back to the Cariboo to be a lead cowboy for the Dave Hutchison Ranch. There he met Jeanette while she was working at the Ace High Lodge. They were married in December 1949. Another move brought them to Monte Creek where he worked for the Bostock ranch.

A Celebration of Life will take place on July 26, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the dining room at the Renaissance Retirement Home, 628 Tranquille Road.

There will be an open microphone for those wishing to share their stories and memories.

Eventually they settled in Westwold where Walter drove logging trucks for many years for the H. Buff Lumber Company. They were able to buy the family farm in 1956, and spent many happy years raising their family. This worked into a profitable hay and cattle operation.

As Walter retired from logging, he took up the job of local school bus driver. This is where a generation of young people got to know him. He didn’t tolerate any nonsense on the bus but he was a favorite for 25 years. This work along with the farm, looking after the forestry campsite at Monte Lake, cutting Christmas trees in the fall was a full life. Their final home was in Falkland.

“Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks.”

Walter was an early member of the Westwold Legion branch 236 in the 1950’s. They met in the old school building for a time and later were able to build the present Legion hall. Walter is a lifetime member and spent many happy hours there with his many friends. Friday night cribbage was a routine, and horseshoes was a favorite sport.

Recent years took a toll with health issues and he became rather frail. He was cared for well by many people in the medical system. We extend a great big special thanks to the girls – Ashley, Tanya, OJ, and Stacia whose kind care allowed him to stay in his home until the end. Exactly what he wanted.

Walter is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Jeanette, four children; John (Jennifer) of Salmo, BC, Wineva (Frank) Hawkins of Hope, BC, David (Barb) of Delta, BC and Marion (Shawn) Lavery of Falkland, BC, Walter is further survived by twelve grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. A celebration of life service will be held at the Falkland Community Church on Saturday, July 18th, 2015 at 1:00 PM with Reverend John McKay officiating. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Walter may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 236, Westwold, BC. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME VERNON, BC (250-542-4333.

Lydia was born in Siberia, Russia on September 28, 1919. She married the love of her life Henry Welms on April 29, 1942. Lydia and Henry remained married until his passing on April 22, 1974.

In 1951, Lydia and Henry left Germany and arrived in Canada with their children, Elsa, Willie, and Paul. Her next child, Renate was born in Grande Prairie, AB and her fifth child, Pat was born in Kamloops, BC. Lydia worked at the Tranquille Hospital in the laundry department from 1967 until retirement in 1984. Family was the most important thing to Lydia and she was never happier than when she was surrounded by people she loved. She had a calm, gentle touch that could put any crying baby to sleep almost immediately. She enjoyed doing puzzles, coloring posters, doing word searches and watching TV. She preferred to listen to others talk rather than talk about herself. She will always be remembered for her amazing cabbage rolls, borscht and potato salad. Her smile could light up a room.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all the amazing staff at Hospice for their care of Lydia in her final weeks.

No public memorial service will be held, however the family will be having a Graveside Service and a private Celebration of Life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops BC V2E 2S9 would be appreciated.

FAITH

Bible and the Sikh faith: Two paths to God IN THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS, JESUS CALLS HIMSELF THE SON OF MAN, NOT THE SON OF GOD Jennifer Betuzzi, David Lidster, Brian Puida Mitchell and Mike Wells penned this column in response to Chris Kempling’s Faith column of July 3 (‘Sikh and you shall find the answers’):

W

e would like to thank Chris Kempling for taking the time to write the column because we believe it is important to discuss and learn about the beliefs of the people who make up our pluralistic country.

In his column, Kempling makes clear his attraction to the five primary virtues of Sikhism — virtues that are similar and compatible to Christian virtues —

yet he devalues the Sikh faith by claiming there can be no pyar (love of God) without revering Jesus for who he really was.

We would like to provide a different perspective, one that comes from reading the Bible in a way that does not focus on isolated verses, but on the overall teaching (message) of the Bible.

The New Testament is primarily about Christianity and Judaism and says very little about people of other faiths.

According to Wesley Ariarajah, a director with the World Council of Churches, the Bible is the story of God — the one God — who is the creator of all people, not just Jews and Christians.

Christian God or Sikh God; there is a Christian and a Sikh understanding of God. Sikhs are as much children of God as are Christians.

Christian theology does not “own” God, nor should God be fenced in by saying, “If you want to know and love God, you have to know and revere Jesus.”

faith about Jesus the Christ holds enormous significance for Christians.

However, it should be kept in mind this is a statement of faith and it has no meaning outside the community of the Christian faith.

Ariarajah states that however true the experience of Jesus is for Christians, however convinced Christians are about this faith claim, it has to be given as a claim of faith and not as truth in the absolute sense.

and collective “seeking for answers” has resulted in a different understanding than Kempling’s of Sikhism’s non-acceptance of the incarnation.

When Kempling provides an absolute statement based on his interpretation (i.e. “There can be no pyar without revering Jesus”), he is not speaking on our behalf, nor is he speaking on behalf of numerous Christians that we know.

package of moral certitude and objective absolutes and there is no general agreement among Christians on how it is to be interpreted.

Debbie Blue, in her book From Stone to Living Word, states it is dangerous when people believe they have access to absolute answers through their interpretations of reading the Bible.

Reading the Bible is a process, not a product, and it is subject to interpretation.

An historicalcritical method of reading the Bible does not give definitive

answers; answers that can result in a dividing wall that closes off dialogue.

It reads the Bible in a spirit of humility and vulnerability and in the context of a larger vision of the mission of God in which all people are partners and fellow-pilgrims with all others who also stand within the grace and love of God. (Ariarajah) In the synoptic gospels, Jesus calls himself the Son of Man, not the Son of God. Jesus lived a Godcentered life and steered people toward the Kingdom of God. His own life demonstrated and affirmed God’s acceptance and unconditional love for all human beings.

Kanye at Pan Am, really?

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Not everyone is pleased by the announcement that American rap legend Kanye West will perform at the closing ceremony of the Pan Am Games in Toronto.

An online petition asking the organizing committee to change its mind has garnered more than 11,000 supporters as of Thursday morning.

The petition posted at change.org says the Games have triggered a sense of pride in the city, and that “It would only be just to ask a proud Torontonian (or

even a Canadian for that matter) to perform instead on July 26.

Among those suggested in the petition are Drake, Walk Off The Earth, Feist and Metric.

Meanwhile, Mayor John Tory made headlines by wishing aloud that organizers had chosen a Canadian for

West’s slot — but only after he was forced to concede that, until now, he’d somehow believed West to be Canadian.

West is to be joined at the July 26 show

by Miami pop-rapper Pitbull and six-time Juno winning howler Serena Ryder.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire at two military facilities a few miles apart in Chattanooga yesterday, killing at least four Marines, officials said. The gunman was also killed.

U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said officials were treating the attacks as an act of “domestic terrorism,’’ though FBI agent Ed Reinhold said authorities were still investigating a motive.

A U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity identified the gunman as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez of Hixton, Tennessee, and said he was believed to have been born in Kuwait, though it was unclear whether he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen.

“Lives have been lost from some faithful people who have been serving our country, and I think I join all Tennesseans in being both sickened and saddened by this,’’ Gov. Bill Haslam said.

The attacks were minutes

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s children’s minister has announced a review into the case of a father who molested his toddler despite a court order preventing unsupervised visits.

Stephanie Cadieux

says her ministry will review all of the policy and practice concerns, as well as the human resource implications raised by the case.

She says the public deserves to know that the child welfare system is accountable but she will provide details of the review at a later time.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge found that the ministry recklessly disregarded its responsibility when it removed four children from their mother’s care and accused her of being mentally ill.

Opposition New Democrats grilled Cadieux in the legislature on Thursday,

with party leader John Horgan questioning why she has not apologized for the ministry’s actions.

He says Cadieux is refusing to answer how many other court orders the ministry has ignored or how many other children have been put at risk.

offices, he said.

Law enforcement officials told recruiters that the gunman was in a car, stopped in front of the facility, shot at the building and drove off, said Brian Lepley, a spokesman with the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

The recruiting centre sits in a short strip between a cellphone business and an Italian restaurant with no additional security.

Within minutes of that attack, the gunman opened fire at the Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center Chattanooga. All of the dead were killed there.

The centre is in a light industrial area that includes a CocaCola bottling plant. The two entrances to the fenced facility have unmanned gates and concrete barriers that require approaching cars to slow down to drive around them.

Marilyn Hutcheson, who works at Binswanger Glass across the street, said she heard a barrage of gunfire around 11 a.m.

apart, with the gunman stopping his car and opening fire first at a military recruiting centre for all five branches of the military, then apparently driving to a Navy-Marine training centre seven miles away. The attacks were over within a half-hour.

The Marine Corps said four Marines were killed, and a fifth Marine was wounded in the leg, treated at a hospital and released. Also, a police officer was shot in the ankle, Mayor Andy Berke said.

Authorities gave no details on how the gunman was killed.

The shootings began at the recruiting centre on Old Lee Highway, where a shot rang out around 10:30 or 10:45 a.m., followed a few seconds later by more fire, said Sgt. 1st Class Robert Dodge, the leader for Army recruiting at the centre.

He and his comrades got on the ground and barricaded themselves in a safe place.

Dodge estimated there were 30 to 50 shots fired. Doors and glass were damaged at the neighbouring Air Force, Navy and Marine

NATIONAL NEWS ETHICS OFFICER TO REVIEW HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST DON MEREDITH THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Speaker of the Senate says the upper chamber’s ethics officer has been asked to look into Sen. Don Meredith over the results of an investigation into how he treated his office staff.

Leo Housakos publicly confirmed in a short statement Thursday morning that Meredith has been told he will undergo an

ethics probe.

Housakos says he and other top senators on the Senate’s internal economy committee felt it was “imperative’’ the investigation results be referred to ethics officer Lyse Ricard.

Sources told The Canadian Press Wednesday night that six former staffers who spoke with outside investigators made allegations of workplace harassment against Meredith, saying he was

a bully, rude and unprofessional towards his staff.

The former Conservative senator who now sits as an independent has not returned multiple requests for comment left for him Wednesday night.

Meredith is already under investigation by the Senate’s ethics officer after published allegations last month that he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl.

NO SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION SEQUEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

RED DEER — A man who tried to tunnel his way out of an Alberta jail will remain behind bars for a few more years.

Jeremy Dean Keddy, who is 36, pleaded guilty in Red Deer provincial court to various offences, including mischief, for attempting to dig his way to freedom.

He was sentenced in Wednesday to 4

1/2 years in a federal prison.

Keddy was arrested in December 2014, while sitting in a stolen car with a handgun in his waistband and two loaded sawed-off shotguns in a guitar case.

The next month, while being held at the Red Deer Remand Centre, guards found the start of an escape tunnel in his cell.

Guards had broken up a fight in the cell between Keddy and

another inmate.

A subsequent search of the cell revealed a hole in a concrete wall about 18 centimetres by 23 centimetres in size and about eight centimetres deep.

The hole was hidden behind a picture.

Keddy was the only prisoner in the cell.

He admitted to using a weight-lifting bar to dig.

He was later granted bail and arrested again while sitting drunk in a

vehicle that had been broken into. There were break-in tools and weapons in the car.

Keddy apologized to the court and said he was a law-abiding citizen who donated to charities and did volunteer work before he became addicted to methamphetamine.

“Up until this time I was never involved with firearms,’’ he said.

“Can’t believe how it was undone in a matter of months.’’

S

ue Sewell’s kids had attended Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) when it opened to adults.

She had only dabbled in the cello more than 30 years ago when she signed up for the music school but went on to take private lessons and, eventually, join the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, where she has performed now for more than 20 years.

This year, Sewell is back at KISSM volunteering as part of the federal grant program New Horizons for Seniors, which, among other things, engages seniors in mentoring other generations.

While the kids are teaching Sewell a thing or two — “they’re braver,” she said — she has some advice for the youngsters.

“Just keep on with it,” she said.

“Try new things.

“Play with other people.”

KISSM’s executive director Kim Mangan doesn’t think the kids realize how much experience Sewell brings while mixed in with them during orchestra class, one

of more than 40 courses offered by the school.

“They’re showing the kids you can play music your whole life,” Mangan said.

Classes are out for summer at Beattie School of the Arts but, when KTW visited during KISSM’s threeweek program, music

echoed through the halls with notes from a children’s choir, flutists and a drum line.

A group of teens in the hallway sang Pompeii by Bastille to a doo-wop beat, something they came up with on their own, said Daniela O’Fee. Nearing the end of its three weeks,

the music school had about 200 students this year and, among others, added a digital audio class, known as mod quad, to the course list.

Seven university students added to the familiar faces at KISSM this year.

“They’re coming back and teaching the

kids,” Mangan said.

“They understand it from a student perspective.”

A musical theatre performance will round out the classes next week at Sagebrush Theatre on July 23.

The Boyfriend is a romantic spoof of 1920s musical comedy.

Set in the French

Riviera, it tells the story of an English heiress longing for a boyfriend but forbid by her father to date, out of fear she will be used for the family’s money.

It includes a live pit band and was all turned around during the three weeks of KISSM. “The progress we

make is really, really quick,” Mangan said.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 18.

After July 20, those prices bump up to $15 and $7.

L

es MacPherson of the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix inspired the format of this

column.

In addressing several topics back in May, he wrote, “Instead of the usual, long dreary column on a single subject, I offer this zesty clubhouse-style column, held together with toothpicks.”

Here’s my clubhouse for the week, with extra flimsy toothpicks and a bit of cheese stuck to the edges — and cheese being the place I’ll start.

I was at Pizza King last weekend grabbing a sober, but late-night, slice when someone walked in, asked to use the bathroom and was denied.

The downtown business apparently closes its bathroom at midnight and it was about 12:15 a.m.

The woman was forced to hold it and walked away while I questioned the policy.

While an employee said

it’s to prevent staff from having to clean up after drunk people, I say — really?

Let the people pee.

One place you don’t want to pee, however, is in the pool now that Hotel 540 has opened its rooftop pool to the public for the summer.

The downtown addition opened to the public last year and came highly recommended by friends.

I’m looking forward to beating the heat there because spending $20 gets you access to the hotel’s resort-style pool and patio

“Let the people pee.”

— with beer.

Speaking of beer, whoever is discouraging visitors to Johnson Lake has either drank too many or needs to have one.

Recent kerfuffle has been attributed to the “Carribean of the North” going viral on social media, causing a frenzy of activity and, in turn, garbage, destruction and parking issues at the crystal-blue lake near Barierre.

I visited it a month ago.

One garbage can was noticeably overflowing and, yes, several other kayakers and campers had taken to the area despite a very rainy weekend.

But, where I diverge from recent hype, is in

discouraging people from going at all because we can still enjoy the lake if we all play nice.

Let’s just remember the crystal-blue water will look a little browner unless we treat it with respect.

So, that means don’t litter, take your garbage with you, stick to the paths already made, don’t park like you failed to get your “L” and — most of all — don’t literally defecate on the place, as some visitors apparently have been.

Speaking of crappy people, it’s not the liquorstore clerk’s fault you don’t have your ID. Nor is it their fault the government requires them to ask for it, even if

Hosted by

you are of age.

While recently standing in line, a woman behind me began chirping an employee who had ID’d a man two customers ahead of us.

The clerk didn’t need to, she said.

She worked in liquor sales for more than five years, she said.

She knew everything, apparently, except for the fact this clerk was new and was likely scared silly during training about what can happen to employees who sell to minors.

You know, fines, getting fired — those kinds of things.

I couldn’t believe I had to tell the woman to knock it off after she chirped the employee, yet again, while my own identification was checked.

The whole thing left me puzzled, something I also experienced this week on Lansdowne Street with the opening of a new downtown attraction.

Perplexed Puzzles, a couple of doors down from

Scoopz, brings the escape room game to Kamloops.

The first puzzle being offered puts players in a small room searching for treasure, with clues hidden throughout and a time limit to solve it.

Without giving too much away — the excitement is in the mystery — it’s a blast. Grab a few friends to make the group of four and check it out this weekend.

Slide the City lands in Kamloops this weekend, too.

While I’m excited to have a ticket to fly down the 1,000-foot slip and slide on Hillside Drive tomorrow, the fine print has me a bit cautious.

“You’ll also receive a tube, a mouth guard and a drawstring bag,” the website says.

A mouth guard?

Stay safe out there.

6TH AVENUE Q: WHAT DO THE SYMBOLS ON THE CITY’S COAT OF ARMS MEAN? MONTESSORI A: The City of Kamloops website says the Coat of Arms dates back more than a century.

In 1910, city council of the day called for submissions of designs conveying the history of the old Hudson’s Bay Trading Post in heraldic language.

W. Miller Higgs crest was adopted in 1911, representing the history and geography of the City of Kamloops.

The shield is of ermine fur, representing the fur trade. At the top of

the shile are the arms of the Hudson’s Bay Company. A silver shiled charged with a red cross between four beavers represnts the trading post.

In the honour point of the shild, a black bull’s head represents Kamloops at the centre of the B.C. cattle trade.

The meeting of two rivers — the North and South Thompson are also represented, with mountain trout simming upstream to represent the flow of the water.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

SOCKEYE IN HOT WATER, FISHING MAY BE CURTAILED “

Dangerously hot water temperatures in the Fraser River, combined with low river flows and unusually warm ocean conditions, are conspiring to create a dire outlook for returning sockeye salmon.

And, that could mean no fishing at all for the roughly 6.8-million sockeye projected to be on their way back to the Fraser to spawn — easily enough for what should have been a decent season.

“What’s going on now is not good and I don’t anticipate it being good in August,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission.

“But, it’s just a matter of waiting to see where the indicators are at that time and making the decisions based on the evidence we have.

I think the observed data is going to be pretty extreme.”

He said it’s “certainly possible” sockeye fisheries will be severely curtailed or even cancelled altogether because a large proportion of the run may not survive to reach the spawning grounds.

A record low snowpack in the mountains this year has meant what little snow was in the alpine has melted sooner than usual, leaving less to keep stream and river levels up and

their temperatures down later in the summer.

Fraser River temperatures at Hope have already gone over 19 C in recent days, Lapointe said, when the norm at this time of year is less than 15 C. “It’s extremely warm,” he said, adding the lower water flows compound the problem.

“It’s like a bathtub.

If you don’t have a lot of water in it, it’s really sensitive to the temperatures around.”

High temperatures of 19 or 20 C and higher can be deadly for salmon, which face more stress in their migration upriver to spawn, and they may also be more susceptible to disease.

“As soon as they start to reach these temperatures, they’re just not as efficient at migrating,” Lapointe said.

“It becomes harder for the fish to do the work they need to do.”

The Pacific Ocean hasn’t been kind to these returning sockeye, either.

Northeast ocean waters up to the Gulf of Alaska have been unusually warm from late 2013 through 2014 — the entire time the now-returning sockeye have been at sea.

can deplete plankton food supplies and sometimes results in many juvenile salmon being devoured by predator fish like

depending on their past exposure.

More fishing may be possible for less desirable pink salmon, which return later in the summer.

Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Aaron Hill fears the river conditions will only deteriorate.

“The low water and high temperatures are combining to create lethal water

conditions for salmon,” Hill said.

“Unless we get some rain, it’s just going to get worse and worse through the summer.”

He’s urging fishery managers not to authorize aggressive fisheries this year in order to put as many sockeye on the spawning grounds as possibler to ensure conservation of weak stocks.

The funds come by way of the provincial government and the federal government’s Small Communities Fund.

Savona will benefit from upgraded drinking water infrastructure. The community plans

to replace its water reservoir and improve portable water distribution.

When complete, the new reservoir will have a greater volume capacity and will be less susceptible to biological contamination.

Increased water pressure will benefit household, business and firefighting needs.

The federal government will

provide up to $561,000 for the project, as will the province of British Columbia.

The remainder of the $1,683,000 project will be funded by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

Pritchard’s funding will go toward upgrading wastewater treatment infrastructure.

A new screening device to remove preliminary solids will

Squamish: Where the Wind Blows

By RACHEL BOGUSKI

One of Squamish’s newest summer festivals is ready to set sail for a second consecutive year, and it pays special tribute to one thing in particular: the wind.

The Squamish Wind Festival is a free, communitywide festival filled with music, art and high-adrenalin wind and water sports that have made Squamish legendary.

An event like this in Squamish is only fitting given the meaning of the town’s name is, “Mother of the Wind” in the Coast Salish language.

Wind conditions in the area average 28-46 kilometres per hour in the spring and summer months when on any given day you’ll find a rainbow of wind and kitesurfing activity at the area known as the Spit, a long, narrow piece of land jutting out into Howe Sound where wind, water

and land collide. The festival includes a guided tour of the Spit where visitors will have the opportunity to meet the kiteboarders and learn about the popular adrenalin sport.

But kiteboarder or not, this event is packed with all types of family-friendly fun including open-air concerts, food, art exhibitions, musi-

cal theatre, a beer garden, sport and kite flying demonstrations, crafting stations, roaming buskers and more.

And the best part? It’s all free.

The event also marks the thirty-sixth anniversary of SOAR, the Squamish Open Annual Regatta, known favourably for its consistent

optimal wind conditions and dubbed, “best party in the Pacific Northwest” by the VARC (Vancouver Area Racing Council). Visitors can head to Nexen Beach for a front-row seat to the inflow, distance and hangover sailing races.

The festival’s musical lineup includes Squamish cover band Slight Fiction as well as Vancouver’s Mazacote, Groove & Tonic, Lovecoast, Tantalus Pass, The Tourist Company, DJ Praiz, DJ Foxy Moron and Good for Grapes. There will also be a “Jam Zone” that will allow music lovers to create their own sound with congas and other provided instruments.

The Squamish Wind Festival takes place July 24, 25 and 26 at various locations in and around downtown Squamish. For details, including a full schedule of events, visit www.squamishwindfestival.com.

After the Iran nuclear deal . . .

T

he thing to bear in mind about Tuesday’s deal between Iran and the P5+1 countries (the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China) is without it, Iran could get nuclear weapons whenever it wants in a short time.

It has the technologies for enriching uranium, it could make the actual bombs any time it likes — every major country knows how — and the sanctions against Iran could not get much worse.

If you don’t like the deal and you really believe Iran is hellbent on getting nuclear weapons, then your only remaining option is massive air strikes on Iran.

Not even the Republican Party stalwarts in the U.S. Congress are up for

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH committing the U.S. Air Force to that folly and Israel, without American support, simply couldn’t do it on its own.

Then, what’s left?

Nothing but the deal.

It doesn’t guarantee Iran can never get nuclear weapons. It does guarantee Iran could not break the agreement without giving everybody else at least a year to respond before the weapons are operational.

Sanctions would snap back into place

automatically and anybody who thinks air strikes are a cool idea would have plenty of time to carry them out. So, the deal will survive.

Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu can fulminate about how it is a “historic mistake” that will give Tehran “a sure path to nuclear weapons,” but he cannot stop it.

Netanyahu is obsessive about Iran but even his own intelligence services do not believe Tehran has actually been working on nuclear weapons in the past decade.

The Israeli prime minister has burned all his bridges with U.S. President Barack Obama and his Republican allies in the U.S. Congress cannot stop the deal either.

John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives, said the deal will “hand a dangerous regime

billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear Iran,” and he can probably muster a majority in Congress against it. (Congress, as Washington insiders put it, is “Israelioccupied territory.”)

But, he cannot muster the two-thirds majority needed to override Obama’s inevitable veto.

There will be a 60-day delay while Congress debates the issue but this deal will go through in the end.

So far, so good — but this is not happening in a vacuum. What are the broader implications for Middle Eastern politics?

Ever since the victory of the Islamic revolution 36 years ago, Iran and the United States have been bitter enemies.

They have not suddenly become allies, but they are already on good

speaking terms.

Since almost all of America’s allies in the Arab world see Iran as a huge strategic threat, they are appalled by the prospect of a U.S.Iran rapprochement.

That is not a done deal yet. While Iran strongly supports Bashar al Assad’s beleaguered regime in Syria, Washington still advocates Assad’s overthrow and arms some of the “moderate” rebels.

It even supports Saudi Arabia’s bombing campaign against the Houthi rebels who now control most of Yemen and publicly accepts the Saudi claim that the Houthis are mere pawns who are being armed and incited to revolt by Iran.

But, nobody in the White House, the State Department or the Pentagon believes the civil war in Yemen is an Iranian plot.

Very few believe any longer Assad can

be overthrown in Syria without handing the country over to the Islamist fanatics who dominate the insurgency there.

And, the most powerful force among those fanatics is “Islamic State”, whose troops are already being bombed by the United States in both Syria and Iraq.

The highest U.S. priority in the Middle East now is to prevent Iraq and Syria from falling into the hands of Islamic State and its equally extreme rival, the Nusra Front.

Iran is giving both the Syrian and the Iraqi governments military support that is essential to their survival, so there is obviously the potential for closer U.S.-Iranian co-operation here.

By contrast, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, currently America’s two most important allies in the region, are pouring money

and weapons into the Nusra Front in Syria, which is why it has been winning so many battles against the Assad regime in recent months.

The prospect of an Islamist regime in power in Damascus is acceptable to Riyadh and Ankara, but it is deeply unwelcome in Washington.

So, yes, a grand realignment of American alliances in the Middle East is theoretically possible now that the long cold war between the U.S. and Iran is over.

In practice, however, it is unlikely to happen. The longstanding military and economic ties between Washington and its current allies will probably triumph over cold strategic logic and American policy in the Middle East will continue to be the usual muddle. gwynnedyer.com

GET YOUR WATER WINGS READY This Saturday, the stretch of Hillside Drive from Aberdeen Mall to Notre Dame Drive will become the city’s largest water slide as Slide the City comes to town.

Organizer Tim McLeod of Tranquille Farm Fresh said the event will bring anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 participants to Aberdeen for a chance to ride the 1,000-foot vinyl slip-and-slide.

McLeod said participants will slide down the hill on inner tubes, along with mouth guards and a waterproof bag to hold any gear that won’t stand

up to a soaking.

While the stretch of road chosen may seem like a steep one, McLeod said organizers had the option to go even wilder.

“We can go anywhere from a six to 14 per cent grade. I believe Hillside is somewhere around the six to eight,” he said. “So, it’s not the steepest you can have, but it’ll certainly be an awesome ride.”

On the day of the event, Hillside will be closed to regular vehicle traffic, save for transit and emergency vehicles and those going to businesses in Cariboo Place.

Ticket buyers extend well beyond Kamloops.

“We’ve got people coming from Kelowna and Vancouver and Prince George,” McLeod said.

“They’re coming from all over, which is pretty cool and it’s not something we’d anticipated.”

The sliding day begins at 9 a.m., when all-day pass holders will have an hour of private sliding, before a celebrity race at 10 a.m. to kick off the event in full.

Sliding continues until 6 p.m. — or 7 p.m. for allday pass holders.

Besides the slide it-

self, McLeod said food vendors will set up at the bottom of Hillside Drive and a kids’ activity area at the top of the slide will offer face painting, bouncy castles and other activities for children under five years of age who are too young to ride the slide.

For sliders waiting to head down the hill, organizers plan to set up a mister to cool down down the lineups, while Kamloops Fire Rescue is also hoping to bring a pump truck to provide additional spray.

“Unless you’re prepared to get wet, it’s

better to stay at home,” McLeod said, adding water guns are encouraged during the event.

If this year’s event is a success, McLeod said he’s hoping to see it return to the city annually — possibly stretching over two days in future years.

The slide won’t return to B.C. again until the end of August when, according to Slide the City’s website, it will head to North Vancouver.

McLeod is hoping the event raises the profile of Tranquille Farm Fresh, which runs a produce market and

various family-friendly events at the former Tranquille sanitarium.

“What we wanted to do was spread our wings a bit and encourage people who don’t know about us to come on out,” he said. “We thought the best way was to go out and do something on the South Shore that would catch people’s attention.”

Farm Fresh is working with the Kamloops Sports Council on the event, McLeod said, and will donate $60 to the organization for every four hours of volunteer time the council contributes.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

RECREATION MAKES COMMUNITIES HEALTHIER

R

ecreation is an important part of being physically and mentally healthy.

It is well known and supported by evidence that physical inactivity is one of the biggest risk factors for chronic disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.

Recreation also helps reduce stress and anxiety.

But, did you also know that recreation plays a key role in the health of our communities?

Social isolation is also a risk factor for chronic disease.

Individuals and communities are healthier when members feel connected to each other.

In fact, social connectedness is just as important for our health as diet and exercise.

Recreation offers opportunities for a community to connect.

Local governments can play a key role in supporting and creating opportunities for social connectedness in our communities.

Community members can encourage and support local governments to create policies, planning, programs, and community design that promote

social connectedness.

Recreational activities can be physical, social, cultural or artistic.

Community infrastructure such as parks, libraries, bicycle pathways, playing fields and community centres are just a few examples of how local governments can support the health of its citizens and the social connectedness of a community.

Summer is the perfect time to start including more recreation in our everyday lives.

We are especially fortunate in B.C. to have incredible open spaces and beautiful parks to explore natural forms of recreation in all seasons.

So, grab a neighbour or two and get out there and enjoy.

Providing opportunities for recreation is one of several ways citizens and governments can help create a healthy community.

SUN PEAKS SUMMER:

A wildflower wonderland

CHRIS MILLIKAN FOR TRAVEL WRTERS’ TALES travelwriterstales.com

A

getaway to B.C.’s interior introduces us to Sun Peaks in summer where comfortable lodgings in the heart of the village make a perfect ‘base camp’ for alpine hiking.

Nestling amid three mountains, the charming town centre conjures thoughts of fairytale villages in Austria’s Alps.

Pastel three-story buildings embrace a winding, brickpaved mall. Decorative trimmings, window boxes filled with red geraniums and simple signage embellishes facades. Like our inn, many boast balconies. Arcades open onto specialty shops, boutiques, galleries and cafés with al-fresco seating.

Luscious ham and tomato crepes for breakfast on one such patio kick off our first morning.

Ready for high adventure, we pick up lift tickets from guest services. Over at Sunburst Chairlift, we meet Mayor Al Raine and Olympian, and now Senator, Nancy Greene Raine, residents here since 1995.

Today, they are our hospitable trail guides.

Hardy hikers often start out from the village. However, a thrill in itself, the chairlift makes the more-than-1800meter elevation gain easier for most.

It launches us over forested hillsides and into the Shuswap Highlands. Below us, mountain bikers snake downward through purple fireweed. Green valleys stretch far beyond the tree line.

Deposited at Mid Mountain station, Nancy smiles, “Now we’re right on wildflower doorsteps!”

From here, hikers of most abilities can continue along trails ranging from simple strolls to challenging climbs.

Colour-coded pocket maps outline 16 interconnecting possibilities, looping through 35 kilometres.

“We’ll start out along Vista Trail, a moderate route that’ll take us to Top of the World and back in about four hours,” Nancy explains.

Al points out, “Like many of our trails, this one follows former cattle and deer paths.”

“Armies of volunteers re-establish and maintain

We see brilliant Indian paintbrush, tiger lilies, fireweed and lupines.

“Just you wait — the best is yet to come,” Nancy says.

“From mid-July to mid-August, wildflowers carpet summer meadows. This year’s bumper crop bloomed early due to June’s rains and high temperatures.”

During B.C.’s August long weekend, the Alpine Blossom Festival celebrates this annual phenomenon with music, activities and special events.

A storyboard overlooking the valley tells us that Sun Peaks’ was originally developed in 1961 as Tod Mountain — named for John Tod, Hudson’s Bay Company’s chief fur trader in the 1840’s.

Its chairlift was then North America’s longest, though few other amenities existed. Harry Burfield ran the first ski shop.

Breathing hard in unaccustomed altitude, we make our way steadily toward Whyte Bowl. Our efforts are rewarded as the trail opens onto colour-splashed slopes. In the distance, a majestic antlered stag materializes, surveys his surroundings and nonchalantly saunters into lower flower-filled meadows.

Further on, Nancy points out some tall perennials.

“That’s mountain helleborus,” she says.

We look at wildflower photos and descriptions in her well-thumbed guidebook and find these toxic, pale-green flowers keep cattle herds from grazing in the alpine until the blooms die off.

“Thanks to these hellebore heroes, our wildflowers are

safe all season,” Nancy says.

Ablaze with colour, the mountainside ahead features thousands of columbine, larkspur, lupines, Columbia lilies and Indian paintbrush, drenching sloped meadows in purple, red, yellow and pink.

Juniper Ridge becomes the high point of our amazing hike. Sitting amid the bedazzling wildflowers, time seems suspended.

Gazing downward toward the village, Al comments on the practical nature of its appearance.

“Like big sister Whistler, those stucco exteriors look appealing — and also save on maintenance,” he says.

And Nancy describes how easy it is for holidaymakers to fly directly into Kamloops, just an hour away.

Back in the village, we thank the Raines for introducing us to Sun Peak’s breathtaking wildflowers. Scrumptious patio dinners cap a day filled with extraordinary natural beauty.

Inspired to hike to Tod Lake the next day, we hop the chairlift back to Mid Mountain.

Alert for markers as we follow the map, our self-guided expedition starts along a service road. Switchbacking up Gil’s Trail, we pause for the panoramic views.

Here, along the mountain’s northeast slope, scenic spectacles envelope us at every turn. Walking poles steady our upward tramp; at times, the steep inclines challenge our resolve. Rest stops allow close-up studies of fuzzy white pussy toes, orange hawkweed and sub-alpine daisies.

Eventually leveling off, the narrow footpath takes us through flower-filled meadows and restful glades.

Located at 1995 meters, Tod Lake fills us with wonder and accomplishment.

We made it.

Filled up with picture postcard scenery, we head back.

Already widely known as a winter wonderland, hiking at Sun Peaks in summer reveals equally stunning vistas of wildflowers in all their seasonal glory.

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!
