The Kamloops Curling Club is the latest recipient of a flurry of federal-government cash. Yesterday, the venerable rink on Victoria Street was handed $150,000 as part of the Canada 150 infrastructure fund. The money will go toward the purchase of a new ice plant.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod doled out yesterday what she acknowledged may be the last dollars flowing out of the Conservative government before the election.

The federal government gave Kamloops Curling Centre $150,000 as part of the Canada 150 infrastructure fund, intended to mark Canada’s 150th anniversary through projects to rebuild community assets. The announcement came three days before what is widely speculated by pundits to be an early election call.

“Once the writ drops, everything comes to a halt,” the incumbent Conservative MP told members of the curling society gathered for the

announcement. “We wanted to be sure it gets out the door.”

McLeod travelled throughout the riding in the past two weeks, making funding announcements in the North Thompson, Cariboo and Kamloops. Most significant was an $18.3-million contribution to fourlaning the remainder of the TransCanada Highway to Chase.

If the election writ is dropped on Sunday, it will mark what will be a much longer pre-election period that allows the Conservatives to spend more advertising dollars before voters go to the polls on Oct. 19.

“I don’t know any more than the general public knows in terms of what’s happening,” McLeod said when asked about an election call.

But, the pre-election machinations did bring good news to curlers

who use the Victoria Street facility, which is making ice sheets with an aged and inefficient ice plant.

Replacing it will cost $300,000.

The club will use money remaining from last year’s Brier, along with $50,000 from the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society and $50,000 from its own contingency fund.

Work will start in spring next year to be complete for the 20162017 season, said curling centre manager Rob Nordin.

“We were on our last legs with this plant,” he said.

Nordin said a new ice plant will lower the club’s operating costs so it can make cosmetic improvements to its building. The club is branching out in a bid to make the building home to service and community societies for meetings and social events.

Canada’s federal political parties are actively carving out their final plans for the Oct. 19 election campaign, which is expected to get underway this weekend.

Sources familiar with the plans say Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to visit the Governor General on Sunday to ask that Parliament be dissolved.

The prime minister is also scheduled to attend a rally with Conservative supporters later that day in Montreal — the anticipated kickoff of a gruelling 11-week campaign.

That means parties must now brace for the prospect of one of the longest — and costliest — election campaigns in recent Canadian political history.

Federal law requires campaigns to be at least 37 days long, but does not stipulate a maximum duration.

The Conservative government also passed legislation last year that allows candidate and party spending to grow by as much as $675,000 for every day outside the 37-day window.

LOCAL NEWS IT LOOKS LIKE MUSKRAT LUNCH

This McArthur Island muskrat doesn’t let an interloper — in this case KTW photographer Allen Douglas — distract him from the serious business of eating lunch. Along with being the focus of a popular Captain & Tennille song from the 1970s, the animal is known as a great swimmer and can remain submerged for up to 17 minutes. The muskrat is most active in late afternoon and evening and actually dislikes dry, hot weather — which must make Kamloops a merely tolerable hometown for this little guy.

INJURED AND OVERWHELMED? If you’ve been injured in an accident, it’s common to feel overwhelmed due to the many decisions that need to be made.

Shuffled out of Translink role

WHO WILL HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS?

BUT, TODD STONE STILL MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Premier Christy Clark rearranged a few chairs at the cabinet table yesterday, taking some responsibilities from Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

Kamloops’ two MLAs remain two of the most senior members in cabinet, with Stone remaining in transportation and Terry Lake as Minister of Health.

But Stone, the KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA, will no longer oversee TransLink.

Instead, governance of the transit agency in the Lower Mainland falls to Peter

Fassbender, the former education minister, who becomes ministry of community, sport and cultural development.

The changes will also see Coralee Oakes, who was community minister, become minister of state for small business.

Mike Bernier, who was parliamentary secretary to the environment minister, becomes the new education minister.

Stone said TransLink under Fassbender is natural due to his experience as a mayor in the Lower Mainland and the links between those municipalities and the transit system they oversee.

“It’s a good, practical

change,” he said of Fassbender overseeing TransLink. “He has a wealth of experience in local government.”

As minister, Stone oversaw TranLink during the defeated plebiscite to raise the sales tax in order to pay billions for more transit and road infrastructure.

There is nothing in place in wake of its failure.

“I’m proud of the fact it was my responsibility to fulfil that [pre-election] commitment, to give people a say on any new taxes for transit,” Stone said.

Stone assumes responsibility for Emergency Management B.C., something he said is a natural fit with his ministry.

There’s a map for that.

Unveiled Tuesday, the city’s new bike map is available online at kamloops.ca/trailandbikemap.

Pocket-sized paper versions can be picked up at Tourism Kamloops, at the Tournament Capital Centre and from local bike shops.

The map stems from a council mandate to better promote active transportation in the city.

Parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell said the city is now working on getting QR codes onto its trail signage, which riders can scan with their smartphones for detailed trail information.

A Kamloops resident wants smokers to butt out in parks — but council won’t decide whether to support his request until November.

Bob Wren said he’s a big fan of the city’s parks, but finds second-hand smoke a constant irritant at events.

“You just can’t get away from it,” Wren said. “I’ve tried moving, but sometimes that doesn’t help, either, because sometimes you just put yourself in the vicinity of another smoker.”

Wren said he has tried asking smokers to stop, but noted it’s awkward and sometimes leads to a confrontation. He wants to see the city take up the cause.

“The City of Kamloops promotes healthy living, healthy initiatives,” Wren said. “With that in mind, why are we

Storm repairs ongoing

still allowing second-hand smoke in our parks?”

Jeff Conners, the Interior Health Authority’s tobacco-reduction coordinator, told council 30 communities have already banned smoking to various extents, some in parks, some just on beaches or near playgrounds.

On May 30, Whistler became the first municipality to ban smoking anywhere on Whistler-Blackcomb property.

While Kamloops council could create small smoking areas in parks, Conners said visitors would still be dealing with secondhand smoke drift.

“I think it’s like having a peeing end of the pool and a non-peeing end of the pool,” he said.

Coun. Arjun Singh would like to see the city consider a smoking ban in parks at the beginning of next year, calling it another way to “de-normalize” smoking.

But, when he suggested a motion to

Another project to clean up damage from the July 2014 storm is moving ahead.

City council has awarded a $899,000 contract to Extreme Excavating to work om Guerin Creek, which serves as a drainage channel for areas of the city.

Public works director Jen Fretz said erosion from the storm resulted in a slope failure that would eventually impact private property in the area if no repairs are conducted.

The project will start this summer and wrap up in the fall.

move ahead with a ban right away, other councillors said they need more information.

Coun. Pat Wallace said the city needs to come up with a realistic ban and a plan to enforce it, along with public input, before it goes ahead.

“We don’t need more toothless bylaws and this is what it appears to me, a toothless bylaw,” she said.

Council agreed to table the motion until one of its November meetings.

While the city doesn’t have a full-time smoking ban in its parks, smoking is currently banned in all nature parks due to wildfire hazards.

Parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell said the city typically prefers to take an educational approach, reminding the public of the dangers of second-hand smoke and “convincing people to do things for the greater good.”

Meanwhile, a June 30 storm that flooded streets and a mobile home park in Westsyde will cost the city about $210,000 once the province chips in through its disaster financial-assistance program.

CAO David Trawin said the city spent about $740,000 on emergency repairs after the storm, about $630,000 of which it expects to get back from the province.

The remaining funds will come out of last year’s budget surplus. City engineers are expected to bring back further plans for drainage in Westsyde for the 2016 budget.

Bedevilled by dust, Dallas residents must wait for help ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Is it biosolids or sawdust?

Either way, a group of Dallas residents will have to wait another month to see if the material blowing into their homes abates before Kamloops city council will consider whether to offer further aid.

Del Corsi is one of a number of Gateway Estates residents who is fed up with the dust blowing onto his property since spring.

He appeared before council this week as part of a delegation asking the city to step in.

Residents have described the dust as so thick that, at times, it piles up on windowsills and inside homes.

Corsi said he’s convinced it has something to do with a topsoilproduction facility run by Arrow Trucking on Blackwell Farm, located above Gateway Estates, which uses biosolids.

“The air smells sour when this is happening,” he said. It’s the same smell he remembers when Arrow offered residents a tour of the site, hoping to assuage their fears about the operation.

However, Arrow and the city’s community safety manager, Jon Wilson, said the issue is an illegal sawdust pile on the site — and the problem will be worse than usual until the whole pile is removed in mid-August.

Wilson said the massive pile, located near the ridge overlooking the estates, was discharging sawdust onto homes at a much lesser rate before its removal began.

“When it was being stored in one massive pile, it had sort of a hard shell around it. It had compacted,” Wilson told council.

“But, now that the pile has been disturbed, the shell is gone and sawdust is carried into the estates by much smaller winds than before.”

Arrow was supposed to have the pile moved out by mid-July, but

Wilson said it ran out of storage capacity on other sites and the city granted an extension until Aug. 10.

Asked by council why Arrow isn’t being fined, Wilson said the company is incurring a cost to remove the pile and is also spending $30,000 to treat roads in the area, which are also a source of dust.

“When I see a company that’s making an effort to comply, I want to work with them,” Wilson said, adding he has seen “no evidence” biosolids are involved in residents’ concern about material blowing into their homes.

Residents have various ideas about what the city should do.

One called for the city to lobby the provincial government and for a bylaw banning the operation so close to homes.

That appears to be outside the city’s powers. CAO David Trawin said the Agricultural Land Commission regulates farm use, though the city could ban the sale of Arrow’s topsoil to anyone off the Blackwell site.

Activist Ruth Madsen, who was part of the delegation, but does not live in the neighbourhood, said she believes biosolids are a danger to children and called on the city to pull Blackwell and Arrow’s business licences and to stop taxing Gateway residents until dust issues are resolved.

Corsi said he just wants to see Arrow move its operation back between five and 10 kilometres.

While there may be a place for biosolids in the area, “it’s not in my living room,” he said.

Council chose to wait and see how the situation looks once the sawdust has been cleared away.

A report on the situation will be presented to council on Aug. 18.

“I personally think it’s the sawdust pile but, after the sawdust pile is gone, we’ll really know,” said Coun.

Arjun Singh, adding he believes “alarmism” about biosolids in the region may be playing a role in the Dallas situation.

Victim services gets help The Kamloops RCMP’s victim-services unit is getting a $51,000 boost to help it deal with a lack of volunteers to cover its late shifts.

Jody MacDonald, the municipal supportservices manager for the RCMP, said volunteers for the program are either reaching retirement age or aren’t able to commit to late-night hours when

they may be needed.

“We need people that can commit at least 75 hours a month and that’s very difficult these days,” she said.

RCMP plans to hire auxiliary staff to cover some of those shifts for the next two years while it works with the city to come up with a new plan for the program.

Victim-services volun-

teers do crisis intervention, offer emotional and informational support and help with court preparation.

Council has agreed to take the $51,000 out of the victim-services reserve fund.

“I think this is one of the most valuable services we have in our community,” said Coun.

Marg Spina.

BYLAW NO. 14-1-176 This notice is the first of two notices to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt “Resource Recovery Centre Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-176.”

The purpose of the bylaw is to borrow an amount not to exceed $10 million to finance the cost of purchasing the Owl Road Landfill and establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 30 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will be funded by landfill tipping fees and will not result in a tax increase for the average residential property.

The benefits of purchasing the Owl Road Landfill and establishing a RRC are: • Reducing the size of the existing Owl Road operational landfill by approximately 40%; • Increasing the lifespan of the Mission Flats landfill by approximately ten years by processing reusable material (wood, concrete, asphalt singles, etc.) at the new RRC; • Increasing City-wide landfill diversion to approximately 50% by 2018; and • Providing more efficient services with a satellite yard for Public Works and Utilities and Parks operations.

A copy of Bylaw No. 14-1-176 and a summary of the proposal are available from the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West, during each business day of the week between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Council proposes to borrow the money and undertake the purchase of the Owl Road Landfill and establishment of an RCC and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard unless, by 4:00 pm on September 4, 2015, at least 10% of the electors in the City of Kamloops sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless Kamloops City Council holds a vote.

The number of elector responses required to prevent the local government from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 6,975. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West.

Elector responses are required to be submitted to the City of Kamloops on forms that can be obtained during regular business hours from the Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West. The form can also be downloaded from the City of Kamloops website at www.kamloops.ca. The only elector response forms that will be accepted by the City of Kamloops are the ones provided by the City of Kamloops or an accurate copy of the form.

Only electors of the City of Kamloops are eligible to sign the elector response forms.

There are two types of electors - resident electors and non-resident property electors.

Resident Elector: When signing an elector response form during an AAP, a resident elector must be 18 years of age or older; be a Canadian citizen; have lived in British Columbia for at least six months; have lived in the City of Kamloops for at least 30 days; and not be disqualified under the Local Government Act, or any other enactment from voting in a local election, or be otherwise disqualified by law.

Non-resident Property Elector: When signing an elector response form during an AAP, a nonresident property elector must: be at least 18 years of age; be a Canadian citizen; have lived in British Columbia for at least six months; have owned property in the City of Kamloops for at least 30 days; and not be disqualified under the Local Government Act, or any other enactment from voting in a local election, or be otherwise disqualified by law.

Note: Only one non-resident property elector may sign an elector response form per property, regardless of how many people own the property, and that owner must have the written consent of a majority of the other property owners to sign the response form on their behalf. Property owned in whole or in part by a corporation does not qualify under the non-resident property elector provisions.

Resident electors signing the elector response form must provide their name and address.

Non-resident property electors must provide their name and the address of the property in relation to which they are entitled to register as a non-resident property elector. The City of Kamloops will not share the information on the form with anyone other than the Corporate Officer or other person designated by the Corporate Officer.

For more information on elector qualifications, please contact the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division at 250-828-3483 or legislate@kamloops.ca or see the Voter’s Guide to Local Government Elections in BC, available from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development or online at http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/lgd/elections_ home.htm.

VIEWPOINT

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

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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

HOT: Election fever in Canada. If, as expected, Prime Minister Stephen Harper visits Governor General David Johnston this weekend and asks him to dissolve Parliament, it will begin one of the longest official campaign periods in this nation’s history.

By law, federal-election campaigns must be at least 37 days long, but an election call this weekend would give us two-and-a-half months of attack ads, accusations, promises, debates and the requisite scandal or two.

The heat of summer is about to get much hotter.

NOT: The continued carnage on our roads.

The Kamloops area has been plagued lately with too many fatal accidents and too many crashes in general.

No family deserves the terrifying call that will change their lives forever.

It isn’t that difficult to avoid such tragedy: Slow down, pay attention, do not get distracted and adjust to weather conditions.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The old ball game. Mother Nature must be a baseball fan as this weekend’s B.C. Senior Men’s Baseball Championship at Norbrock Stadium will be played under glorious blue skies and the intense heat of the sun.

Your very own Kamloops Sun Devils will be seeking the crown.

Grab some peanuts and Crackerjack and find a seat. You won’t care if you never come back.

NOT: Those pissant Picassos who think any exposed area of any building in Kamloops is their canvas. Graffiti is out of control in the city and those caught tagging should be forced to remove their “art” and all other creations within a three-kilometre radius.

Crossing Joan’s bridge

I

t was a simple question we received as part of our Friday feature, Kamloops Query, in which we try to find for our readers answers to all things Kamloops.

The question last week came from a reader who was puzzled about the name of the city’s main bridge.

When, the reader asked, did reference to the span change to Overlanders (plural) Bridge from Overlander (singular) Bridge?

The answer, much to the surprise of many, is: It never did.

It has always been officially called Overlanders Bridge, but for a two-week stint back in 2005 when the mayor of the day, Mel Rothenburger, struck out with a weird desire to rename the span Phil Gaglardi Bridge.

The community’s passionate backlash to that inane idea should be used in political science classes on how not to read your constituency.

Mistaking Overlanders for Overlander is an easy faux pas to make, as I can attest via a bridge-related column I penned a few years ago.

But, if one was to walk onto the span, one will find an elaborate plaque honouring the Overlanders for whom the structure is named.

And Overlanders (plural) Bridge is what one will read on the plaque, which happened to have been commissioned by the aforementioned Gaglardi.

For those who have not or

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS cannot step onto the bridge, the story of why it carries the plural and the tale of how it got its name is contained in today’s edition of KTW, jumping off the front page courtesy of that simple Kamloops Query we received last week.

It is fascinating to meet the woman who named the bridge under repair, the bridge that has created so much consternation among commuters, the bridge that is the runaway leader for 2015’s newsmaker of the year.

Joan Lyons won a name-thebridge contest back in 1959 and she tells the tale on page A10.

What is equally intriguing is the information in the Kamloops Sentinel stories of the day.

I realize the bridge was built a half-century ago, but the numbers compared to today remain mind-boggling.

It cost $3 million in 1961 to stretch the span across the South Thompson River.

It costs more than three times that amount to simply

resurface the deck in 2015.

In fact, it would cost at least $250 million to connect the North Shore to downtown if a bridge was constructed today.

Granted, inflation factors into the ballooning difference, but from $3 million to $250 million in 54 years?

If only our salaries would appreciate with such gusto.

(According to the Bank of Canada, $3 million in 1961 is equal to $27 million today.)

Also worthy of note from the Sentinel article is the reference to then-highways minister Phil Gaglardi and his desire to not have any structure bear his name.

“There were many suggestions that the bridge be named ‘Gaglardi,” the Sentinel article noted.

“But, the highways minister says that at no time does he wish to have a bridge or other project named after him.”

Had our former mayor picked up an old newspaper, he might have avoided offending much of the population with his monicker mayhem.

As it is, Lyons’ name will remain on the bridge well into this century now that its major facelift is halfway to completion.

Lyons lights up when talking about the bridge — and why not? I’d be giddy every time I crossed the span if I knew I had named the thing.

It’s a legacy cemented in time. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BARNHARTVALE NEEDS SIDEWALKS — NOW Editor: When buying a house, one of the first issues that come up is: How is the community? Is it safe? Can I raise a family here?

While I love my community, Barnhartvale, I don’t think I can necessarily say it is safe.

Don’t get me wrong. Barnhartvale is overwhelmed with friendly people and is truly a beautiful place to live.

However, the safety is not there in regards to sidewalks — yes, the ongoing debate about when and if Barnhartvale will get sidewalks.

Though we are told it’s just around the corner, I find it hard to believe we cannot afford

COLUMBIA STREET PROJECT POORLY DONE Editor: The Columbia Street widening must be one the most poorly managed projects ever.

The disruption to vehicles and pedestrians is unceasing. Not only that, the contractor chooses to work on intersections, the most disruptive of tasks, during peak traffic times.

It should be reasonably easy to do that work at night when vehicle and pedestrian traffic is at a minimum.

As for pedestrians, we are forced to walk up Seventh Avenue, which the city steadfastly refuses to make safer with sidewalks.

Brickbats to the City of Kamloops and the project contractors.

Leslie Lax Kamloops

to do it right now when many other things are happening in the city.

As a new mom, I like to enjoy the weather and get out to exercise in this beautiful city.

The other day, as I walked out of my driveway and onto Todd Road with my sevenmonth-old daughter in the stroller, I crossed the street to make my way down to McLeod Road, because McLeod seems to be one of the safest places to walk in my area.

Coming up the hill on Todd Road, I was almost hit by an oncoming truck because there simply is not enough room to be walking on the road.

In order for there to be safety and sidewalks in Barnhartvale, it is unfortunately going to take someone getting badly injured — or worse.

Kamloops is supposed to be a blooming community that grows together. While that may be true in certain parts of the city, it is seriously lacking in others.

Something needs to be done now.

Please do not ignore this letter.

Please help spread the word.

PROVINCE GETTING SOAKED BY NESTLÉ Editor: We can’t water our lawns and gardens, we can’t fish and we have to conserve every drop of precious water.

Yet, Nestlé is taking B.C. water for $2.25 per million litres and selling it back to us for $2.50 a bottle.

Nestlé is sucking us dry, just as it continues to do in California during that state’s serious drought.

It is only recently that our B.C. Liberal government started charging Nestlé a measly

$2.25 per million litres.

Before this, Nestlé took the water free of charge.

This is outrageous.

I would really like to know what is going on — as would, I am sure, the rest of B.C. residents who are watching their lawns turn brown and their forests go up in smoke.

Linda Davidson Kamloops

PEOPLE! PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS! Editor: Could it be that 90 per cent of people walking their dogs on Van Horne Drive are entitled morons?

At times it seems like it, judging by how few of them pick up after their pet has done its business on somebody’s lawn.

On a recent morning, I observed them again across the street, walking away without cleaning up.

Maybe I should capture their picture from the video on my surveillance camera and post it on all the lampposts in my neighbourhood.

more inconvenient, the 79-year-old Kamloops woman told KTW. At the time, the Black Bridge connected the village to the city — North Kamloops and Kamloops didn’t amalgamate until 1967 — but it was narrow and often delayed due to the railway track.

“The train tracks went right across the end of the bridge. If there was a train, you didn’t cross,” she said.

“You always had a good excuse if you were late for work.”

The new bridge, which cost $3 million at the time, would go on to be finished in 1961, complete with four lanes.

It was “huge” for North Kamloops, Lyons recalled, having lived on Selkirk Avenuee at the time.

She thanks thenMLA Phil Gaglardi for easing the commute with the bridge she named via a contest when construction began in 1959.

Lyons reached out after reading a Kamloops Query aboutt the name in the July 24 edition of Kamloopss This Week.

With the Overlanders Bridge revitalization project about halfway complete, KTW decided to revisit the bridge’s roots.

More than 500 entries were received in the Kamloops Sentinel’s Name the Bridge contest, according to a newspaper article from that time.

A story in the

Sentinel is headlined “‘Overlanders’ selected as name of new span.”

Lyons was among 11 people to suggest the Overlanders name.

She won as her entry was first to arrive at the Sentinel.

“I think it’s just so historically significant here,” Lyons told KTW of her choice, noting she and her late husband agreed on the name in honour of early pioneers who

settled in Kamloops.

“I also thought it was a nice play on words, too,” she said.

“The Overlanders Bridge, going over the bridge.”

She and her toddler “Ronnie” — now 57-year-old “Ron,”

who lives in Alberta — were splashed on the Sentinel’s front page on Dec. 2, 1959, wearing hard hats.

“It didn’t quite fit poor little Ron,” Lyons said. “He was not impressed about that thing on his head.”

Lyons, who was 22 at the time, won $50 for the name and said it was like winning the lottery before Christmas.

She was delighted to purchase Christmas presents and a white dress to attend a Christmas party hosted by the city, where her husband worked in the engineering department.

Lyons is proud — even brags a little if the topic comes up

— of having named the bridge all those years ago and it’s something she has protected.

In 2005, she was upset when it was renamed the Phil Gaglardi Bridge by then-mayor Mel Rothenburger.

Rothenburger said at the time the idea came from Kelowna getting a new floating bridge, the William Bennett Bridge, the fact “nobody made K Kamloops famous w worldwide the way Phil G Gaglardi did” and the f a statue in front fact o city hall already of p pays tribute to the O Overlanders.

“I immediately w wrote a letter again t the council,” Lyons to s said.

“I just said it’s not r right.”

A lot of people felt t that way, too. Local m media were inundated w letters and descenwith d dants of Overlanders p protested the change.

An editorial by S Susan Duncan in the K Kamloops Daily News a the time read: “It’s at s shocking, if not unbel lievable, that council w would make such a dramatic change to a significant local landmark with barely any discussion.”

“I don’t think he [Rothenburger] had any idea how passiona people were about ate i Lyons said. “He found it,” out.”

Less than two weeks after the christening crisis, “Gaglardi” returned to being a square downtown and the Overlanders once again crossed the Thompson in perpetuity.

No more words from McMurdo Drive residents ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Despite delivering a petition to Kamloops council, homeowners in the McMurdo Drive area of South Kamloops won’t get another chance to speak to a social-housing project on the street.

In 2011, city council of the day zoned 1050 McMurdo Dr. for a future social-housing project.

However, nothing came of the change until this summer, when the city announced it would proceed with a request for proposals (RFP) to find non-profit groups to build and operate housing on the site and on two other properties also rezoned in 2011.

Kelly Hampel, one of the residents behind a petition that garnered 190 signatures, said the news took him by surprise.

“We never thought it was going to go ahead to begin with, even though they changed the zoning,” he said.

Hampel feels there were issues with the public hearing during which the property was rezoned.

Council considered five other properties in the same night for similar zoning and some of the changes were heavily proposed by the community, including a plan to allow housing in a park space on Cowan Street.

By the time the McMurdo lot was up for debate, it was 11 p.m., and Hampel said many residents with children or early workdays had already given up and left.

“We thought everyone should have a say, whether they were for or against it,” Hampel said.

Several members of council who were present for the public hearing four years ago argued they heard the neighbourhoods feelings at the time.

“We listened to many, many people speak from that neighbourhood,” Coun. Tina Lange said.

“And, as in all public hearings, after you’ve heard from the first 10 people, because there’s all the same problems, you hear people saying the same things in different ways.”

An RPF for the property, and for lots at 1685 and 1940 Pacific Way in Aberdeen, is expected to be sent out by the end of the month.

Proposals for the sites will come back to council at a later date, when successful applicants seek building permits.

So, when the Washington native — who tipped the scales at roughly 210 pounds at the time — hit .206 with the Rockford Aviators of the independent Frontier League in 2014, he packed up his gear and made the trip back to Kamloops.

The Aviators’ loss was a Sun Devils gain. This weekend, Dhanani will look to help Kamloops defend its championship at the 2015 B.C. Senior Men’s Provincials this weekend.

“We’ve been climbing all year,” Dhanani told KTW. “As long as we stay loose, score a couple runs early, play some good defence and get a timely hit or two, we’ll be fine.”

Dhanani’s baseball career has taken him all over North America.

Drafted in the 43rd round by the Milwaukee Brewers — 1,306th overall — in 2009, he played A ball for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and even had a cup of coffee with the high-A Brevard Country Manatees in 2010. He had stints in San Francisco, Montana and Wisconsin, too.

“Kyle’s one of our leaders,” said teammate Pat Brown. “He’s just a really good team player and he’s really skilled.

“He makes some plays that open a lot of people’s eyes. When guys see that . . . it kind of rubs off on everybody.”

Kamloops has always been a home, of sorts, for Dhanani. It was at Thompson Rivers University that the 27-year-old got started on the path to becoming an MLB draftee.

He was helping out at a baseball

camp one summer when a friend, who played for the WolfPack, told Dhanani of an opening on the roster. The club had just lost its shortstop — now Sun Devils third baseman Will Devick — to a university team in the U.S. Dhanani made the trip north and returned to the diamond, suiting up for the WolfPack in 2006.

“I thought I owed myself a chance, because I played so long in high school and when I was younger, that I might as well take a shot at playing some university and collegiate baseball,” Dhanani said.

“I was just looking for that experience and with the help of [manager] Ray Chadwick and a lot of guys on the team, it kind of just blossomed.”

Three years later, Dhanani heard his name called at Major League Baseball’s June Amateur Draft.

He called the experience surreal — he never expected to be drafted, but it was gratifying, it made him feel like he had a shot at his major league dream.

Dhanani said being a part of the Brewers organization was an awesome experience, but he was also keenly aware baseball in the minors had a different feel. Players were more concerned about getting themselves to the next level than helping the team win.

After he left the Brewers in 2012 and started playing in the independent leagues in what he calls his swan song, Dhanani said the vibe changed a bit, but there was always hints of a player-beforeteam mentality.

With the Sun Devils, the game is different. His minor ball career now behind him, Dhanani is enjoying the change of mindset and is back to having fun on the diamond.

Hopefully, it will translate to a provincial championship this weekend.

“The difference, I guess, would be in Kamloops, you’re really playing for the team on the front and we’ve got a really solid group of guys and you want to win for them,” he said.

“Down in the minors and the independent leagues and stuff, you’re basically playing for yourself because you want to get to the majors.”

The Sun Devils open the tournament at 6:30 p.m. tonight.

The club will play two more round-robin games, one tomorrow and one Sunday, before playoff games on Sunday and Monday.

All games will be played at Norbrock Stadium.

Jorge Campos wore jerseys that looked like a Jackson Pollock painting. Now, the Mexican soccer icon is flying TRU’s colours in his home country. His sister has lived in Kamloops for 30 years.

coaches always told me I had to play different, go outside the area and try to help the defence.”

And, as for the swashbuckling wardrobe?

“I grew up in Acapulco, with the beaches and the ocean, so I always use that colour,” Campos said.

“So, when I started to play professionally, the goalie can use whatever you want, any colour and model, so I tried to bring everything from Acapulco.

“I didn’t know how the kids are going to love those colours everywhere in Mexico.

Now, in a sense, it’s a little bit ugly, but it was fun.”

Campos, arguably Mexico’s best-known footballer, held court with KYSA players on Tuesday, sitting on a soccer ball and fielding questions.

None of the young footy fanatics were as glued to Campos as the middle-aged man wearing workboots, jeans and an old Pumas jersey.

Jose Zaldo managed to convince his boss at the Domtar pulp mill to allow an extended lunch — a chance to meet his beloved hero.

“He’s like the Sidney Crosby of Mexico,” said Zaldo, who was born in Sinaloa, home state to infamous jailbird Joaquín (El Chapo) Guzmán.

The gawking adult was accompanied by his children, Chaz and Lucas, both of whom were born in Chihuahua City, Mexico.

Chaz, who plays with the under-11 Kamloops Blaze and wants to be a ‘keeper, watched videos of Campos with his father before the serendipitous encounter.

“Jorge is planting that seed,” Zaldo said.

“We need our kids to be involved in sports and community and have that sense of identity.”

Having met their spouses while travelling abroad, perhaps Denison and Zaldo are equally suited to be spokespeople for the Jorge Campos Award, established eight years ago.

Zaldo came to Vancouver to study English, met the woman who would become his wife and moved to Kamloops in 2007.

Eight years later, he was standing on a field

shooting the breeze with his soccer idol Campos, who just so happens to know the godfather to Zaldo’s children, as he also played goalie at the club level in Mexico.

“It’s life — this world is so small that you are connected to everybody,” Zaldo said.

“You don’t know where you’re going to end up.”

There are about 40 Mexican students who come to TRU for four-week summer programs and about 14 whom study full-time at the Kamloops school.

Denison visits her native country on assignment with TRU and often speaks with her brother to students about the benefits of studying in Canada.

“I love my people and we are trying to find opportunities for Mexcian students and Jorge is helping us,” Denison said.

Having one of the country’s most-recognizable public figures as an ambassador is quite a coup for TRU. “For everyone in the

world, it’s important to have an opportunity to study outside of your country,” said Campos, now a soccer commentator for a national Mexican TV network.

“Every summer I come here. It’s a beautiful place. Winter is crazy, but the university is a beautiful place.”

He was held captive for six days high up in the Sierra Madre mountains outside Acapulco before being released unharmed.

Jorge Campos can’t go 10 minutes in Mexico without being recognized.

The soccer legend from Acapulco could walk down Victoria Street, play the red piano, do a little tap dance, sing a song about his football exploits — and there’s every chance no one would stop him for an autograph.

Media were invited on Tuesday to Hillside Stadium to promote the Jorge Campos Award, a one-year Thompson Rivers University scholarship given to a student from Mexico who is deemed worthy of the opportunity. Outside of a few Kamloops Youth Soccer Association and TRU WolfPack players who were invited for a photo-op, barely anyone showed up.

Reyna Denison, Campos’ sister, came to Kamloops from Mexico 30 years ago on a highschool exchange.

She went to NorKam secondary, met her husband and has called the Tournament Capital home ever since.

For the past 14 years, Denison has worked for TRU World as an international student advisor.

In 1988, Campos began playing professionally with Pumas, one of Mexico’s mostprestigious soccer clubs, making a name for himself both as a goalkeeper and striker.

He quickly turned into a star, a five-footsix hurricane of a shot-stopper garbed in colourful, flashy kits — outfits that would put Rickie Fowler’s flamboyant flare to shame.

Campos went on to earn 129 caps with Mexico and feature in two World Cups, employing an eccentric, acrobatic style to guard the old onion bag, often charging out of the penalty area to stifle opponents.

“Everybody says the goalie is crazy and I think he is,” said Campos, who won the Primera Division club championship with Pumas in 1991.

SOCCER TOURNAMENT CELEBRATING SILVER ANNIVERSARY MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It should be a 25th anniversary bash for the ages.

“This is a very special weekend,” said Rob Piva, founding member of the

Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament (KIST) Society.

The silver-anniversary tournament, featuring 80 teams from B.C. and Alberta playing in nine divisions, will run from today through Monday — a

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

four-day party that will boast a beer garden on McArthur Island and social events each night.

There will be music in the beer garden, a party at the Shark Club tomorrow night and Vancouver band March Hare will play at Cactus Jack’s Night Club at the annual KIST dance on Sunday night.

“We’ve put a lot into it this year,” Piva said.

“My time has been committed to this.”

Organizers Darryl McCaskill, Thora Cambidge, Paula Williams, Clint Zimmerman Dave Harestad have been working hard to make sure the weekend runs smoothly.

The tournament started in 1990 with 13 teams and has seen as

many as 107 squads in action.

“The tournament this year is attracting between 1,200 to 1,500 visitors, which we believe is approximately a $750,000 economic boost to the city of Kamloops in hotel rooms, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, gas and retail,” Piva said.

Quick math shows the total economic impact to be nearly $19 million over 25 years, if Piva’s numbers are correct.

The men’s and women’s competitivedivision finals will be played on Monday at McArthur — the men at 1 p.m. on Field 5, the women at 1 p.m. on Field 6.

Environment Canada is predicting sun and temperatures above 30 C each day.

RESTAURANT ROBBED

KEITH ALLISON

David Price, formerly of the Tampa Bay Rays, was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays from the Detroit Tigers yesterday morning.

Price is right for Jays THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — When the Detroit Tigers made David Price available, the Toronto Blue Jays jumped at the opportunity to trade for the ace pitcher.

The Blue Jays acquired Price from the Tigers yesterday for left-handed pitching prospects Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Jairo Labourt.

Price, who is set to become a free agent at the end of this season, is an all-star and won the American League Cy Young Award as the top pitcher in 2012.

“That doesn’t mean you walk away from him,” Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said.

“The opportunity to get a No. 1 starter

— we haven’t had a true No. 1 since Roy Halladay was here.”

Price is a bona fide No. 1 starter at the top of a rotation that includes R.A. Dickey, Drew Hutchison, Mark Buehrle and Marco Estrada. His addition comes in the same week Toronto traded for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins.

The 29-year-old Price is 9-4 this season with a 2.53 earned-run average. In his majorleague career, he’s 95-55 with a 3.13 ERA and 1,285 strikeouts in 1,367 1/3 innings.

Price will command a hefty salary this offseason. He’s making US$19.75 million in the final year of his deal.

Anthopoulos said he was not yet dwell-

ing on the possibility of re-signing Price, which could be a difficult task.

“I think every team in baseball would love to have this guy on their team long term,” he said.

“We’ve just got to get in the line.”

Price is on rotation to start Sunday at home against the Kansas City Royals.

Anthopoulos also left open the possibility of Price starting Monday against the Minnesota Twins.

By getting Tulowitzki, Hawkins and now Price, the GM took major swings at trying to end the Blue Jays’ playoff drought.

Toronto is two games back of the Twins, who hold the second AL wild-card spot.

Hawkins to retire in TO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — LaTroy Hawkins is quickly coming to terms with the idea of ending his long career with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The 42-year-old reliever announced in December that his 21st year in Major League Baseball would be his last, but he never thought it would finish in Canada.

“I can honestly say I did not expect to be here,” Hawkins said in the Blue Jays clubhouse on

Wednesday afternoon. “But, you know what? I’m not opposed to it. I actually love it. I get to be in another country for two-and-a-half months, hopefully three months.”

Hawkins, who said he loves to travel, has played for the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago Cubs, the San Francisco Giants, the Baltimore Orioles, Colorado (twice), the Houston Astros (twice), the New York Yankees, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Angels, the New York Mets and, finally, the Blue Jays.

Shortly before 9:00 pm on Wednesday July 15th, a lone suspect entered Lee’s Garden Restaurant on the 700 block of Fortune Dr. and demanded cash.

The suspect produced a handgun, the employee turned over a small amount of cash and the suspect fled the restaurant. No one was hurt during this robbery and the direction of travel of the supect was unknown, the police service dog was called out but was unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect face was covered with a black handkerchief and is described as feminine with a masculine voice, 5 foot 1 inches tall, slim build, 100 pounds, tattoos on both arms. The suspect was wearing a black ball, dark sunglasses, black T - shirt, dark pants and had a grey backpack with a yellow and red design.

If you have any information or may have witnessed this robbery please contact Crime Stoppers only your information will be used, never your name.

MAIL BOXES ARE STILL BEING TARGETED Over the last couple of weeks mail boxes are still being broken into. The latest occurred at Lodgepole Dr and Long Lake, mail boxes were forced open and it is unknown what was taken from each of the boxes. These thefts seem to occur at night when there is very little traffic in the area.

The best prevention is to pick up your mail daily, leaving nothing for the thieves to take. If you cannot

make to the mail box or you are away on holidays make arranges for someone else to pick up your mail.

Once these thieves know that mail is being picked up on a regular basis they will leave the mail boxes alone and not waste their time. When you are driving by your mail box and you notice something suspicious or something that is out of place, contact the police right away. The

police attend to determine why the suspects are near the post boxes.

The community as well as Canada Post are frustrated with these thefts, it is time to catch these criminals and put them where the belong.

If you have any information on these thefts from mail boxes, do the right thing and contact Crime Stopper your anonymity will be guaranteed.

SENSELESS VANDALISM TO KIB There have been a number of senseless acts of vandalism at the Full Circle Youth Centre on the 1100 block of Kamloopa Rd. Sometime between Monday July 20th and Thursday July 23rd, suspects, threw eggs at the building, then the walls were sprayed painted and an outer window pane was broken. Then vandals struck again between the July 24th and 27th, with similar

damage occurring, the damage is taking place at night when there are few people in the area. The suspects never gained entry or even attempted to try and break into the centre. This centre is for everyone to use and is set for the youth to participate in the various activities throughout the year. The money used to clean up and repair the damage comes out of the operating

funds of the Centre. The Center’s staff are very frustrated with the damage and knowing that some of the funds will not be used for the programs, instead the funds are going to clean up the vandalism.

If you have information on this vandalism, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go court or give a statement.

VIVIAN ISOBEL COSTERTON

HARRIET AMY HETTRICK

1934 - 2015

(NEE DRAKE)

Vivian Isobel Costerton (nee McClounie) born in 1934, passed away in her sleep on July 19, 2015. She was surrounded by love and the comforts of home when she slipped her hand in His and went home.

She is predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Bill, and her son Johnny as well as her parents Colin and Dorothy McClounie. Those who mourn her passing include her sisters Jean (Harry) and Ruth, and her children Diane (Duncan), Sheila (Darrell), Bob (Kathy) and Nancy (Paul). Her grandchildren were her greatest joy and they will miss the Granny who impacted their lives so wonderfully. Her love is with Byron (Jelena) and their kids Adrijana and Lincoln, Allyssa (Cory), Laura, Leighton, Meghan, David, Scott, Liam, and Nicola.

Vivian’s life was interesting and rewarding. Much of her energy was spent in the service of children and the community. She attended normal school and taught in elementary schools in Vancouver and London Ontario before and after her marriage to Bill in 1955. In 1960 they journeyed to India with Diane and Johnny, in service of the Anglican Church, to help establish a medical school and for Bill to teach there. Sheila was born in 1962 in Vancouver before they returned to continue work in India. Prior to Bob’s arrival, they moved to England and then to Montreal before Nancy was born. A transfer to Calgary in 1970 enabled them to put down roots and Vivian dedicated herself to service of her family, her church, her community, and charitable organizations. She served for many years with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on the local, regional, and national levels. In 1992 they moved to Montana where she was a dedicated volunteer in schools and church. A move back to Kamloops in 2004 brought her great joy as she relished time with children and grandchildren. She was very hospitable and gathered friends around every table.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Harriet Hettrick.

Mom passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 19, 2015 at the age of 73. She was the eldest of three children, and was born on December 7, 1941 to her parents, Harry and Julia Drake. Mom was predeceased by our Dad, Alfred Jerry Hettrick in 1997.

Mom and Dad were married in 1961 and moved from Saskatchewan to BC in 1963, and settled in Kamloops in 1966. In 1971, we built a cabin on property purchased at an area lake. Many weekends were spent there as a family. Mom loved fishing and the spectacular views that this recreation provided.

In her earlier years, sewing was an avid pastime. Mom enjoyed setting puzzles and spending time in her flower gardens. Mom enjoyed collecting knickknacks and her latest fondness was for hummingbirds.

After raising her family, Mom’s greatest passion was being an Avon representative. She dutifully fulfilled this passion for approximately 40 years. She received numerous awards and accolades for her achievement as a representative. She loved the company of her customers, many of which became close friends.

Mom’s warm and caring nature will be missed by all who knew her.

SARAH ELIZABETH WRIGHT Sarah Wright passed away peacefully in the Kamloops Hospice July 25, 2015 with her husband Gordon at her side.

Born in Biggar Saskachewan May 30, 1946, Sarah grew up in Chilliwack, BC, where her love of the outdoors began; she achieved the Girl Guide Gold Cord and continued Guiding as a leader in Kamloops. After gaining her teaching certificate Sarah moved to Kamloops in 1969 where she taught elementary school until her retirement. In 1996 Sarah married Gordon Towhey. Retirement allowed time to pursue crafting; from stained glass, quilting, sewing, needle point to creating all occasion cards. She enjoyed touring and photographing the countryside. But there is no place like home, she enjoyed spending time in their yard with her favorite guys Gordon, Rufus and Bear.

Sarah is survived by her best friend and husband Gordon Towhey and his children, Kevin and Tracy, Mark (Hunter and Michael) and Shannon (Braedon), her brother and family Doug and Marcia Wright of Qualicum Beach, Lori (Joel) great nieces Lily and Sage, Jodi (Norm) great nephew Ethan, Grant (Nicole) and niece Shelley Voight of Canmore Alberta, niece Jessica and nephew Ben Wright.

For the vast majority of Vivian’s life, she was engaging, energetic, hardworking, generous, public spirited, active, and full of love and affection. Her health in the last stage of life made things difficult but she strived to remain gracious and friendly. The family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff at Berwick on the Park Brio unit who cared for Mom wonderfully in her last months.

Harriet is survived by her sister Merle (Harvey) Hettrick, brother Ted (Ethel) Drake, son Raymond Hettrick, daughter Anna Marie Randles, granddaughter Vanessa (Matt) Randles, grandson Jarrett Randles, and countless others.

A celebration of Vivian’s life will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral, at 11:00 am, on Tuesday, August 4 followed by her internment at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Vernon BC at 2:30 pm.

A Celebration of Harriet’s life will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 11:00 am in the Salvation Army Chapel, Poplar St., Kamloops BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.

Sarah’s family and friends were blessed to have been able to spend time with her up to her passing. Sarah will be SO MISSED - as she never missed a special occasion, and was always there for her family and friends. Forever in our hearts.

Q: Why do people choose cremation over burying the body?

A: I think I’ve heard them all: religious beliefs, to save money, to save space, because of an aversion to earth organisms, claustrophobia, the “dead ringer” effect... It’s a personal decision in the end, but there are definite pros and cons. Why not call or drop by to discuss?

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

FAITH

Yoga, religion serve the same purpose

T

he difference between material and spiritual life is that in material life “I” and “mine” are the centre, while in spiritual life “God” and “his” are at the centre.

The determining factor is love.

When we love ourselves and its subsequent expansions more than anything else, we become the centre and purpose of our motivation and activities.

Selfishness is the basis for original sin and is the binding agent that keeps us in the material world where we value its constructs above all else.

According to the Vedic understanding, we are eternally present in the spiritual world in our pure spiritual form.

For but a brief

HAROLD MEIER

You Gotta Have

FAITH

moment in that eternal time, we think of our own pleasure, become distracted from the true object of our love and fall down to the material plane.

In a lecture in Taiwan, Krishna Baladev Prabhu — a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada founder acharya of the Hare Krishna movement — explained our condition as follows: “We are in the spiritual world with Krishna

and picking flowers for him. Then think, ‘I wonder what this flower smells like.’”

Once we enjoy ourselves separate from Krishna, we lose our qualification for living in the spiritual world.

We develop the seed of material consciousness — a self that enjoys separate from Krishna.

It is this pleasure principle that keeps us connected to the material world.

Our consciousness develops false ego characterized by “I” and “mine” in this world.

Therefore it thinks, “I am a man. I am a teacher. I am a Canadian. I am a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim.”

Our identity becomes connected to bodily constructs determined by time, place and circumstance.

From that same ego, we expand our sense of

self by thinking, “This is my house, my car, my sport, my country.

These are my friends, my family, my beliefs.”

In this way, we become entangled in material life and forget our constitutional position.

That position is an eternal loving relationship.

If we seek that relationship in the material world, we are only temporarily satisfied on a grossly bodily platform in connection with the gross energy.

Soul satisfaction occurs on a much subtler level in connection with subtle energy.

There are three types of energy: superior, marginal and inferior.

The subtle superior energy is the supreme personality of godhead.

The gross inferior energy is matter, inferior because it lacks consciousness.

We, the living enti-

ties, are the marginal energy.

We are considered marginal because we can gravitate toward either the inferior energy or the superior energy.

Because we are comparatively minuscule, it’s not possible to remain neutral.

When we drift toward the material energy, we develop our material consciousness.

This tendency is the root of science.

It leads to a deeper connection and love of objects and activities within this world.

When we lean toward the spiritual energy, we develop our spiritual consciousness which leads to a deeper connection and love of God. The word yoga means to connect.

The connection between body and mind only initiates the practice at the bottom

rung of the yoga ladder.

Various bodily postures develop control of the senses.

Once the senses are under control, then the practising yogi seeks a higher level of satisfaction and engages in karma yoga.

Karma yoga is action for the pleasure of the supreme. The perfection of karma yoga leads to jana yoga or the yoga of knowledge of the self.

Knowledge of the self leads to a desire to meditate on the supreme person, to ghana yoga.

The perfection of ghana yoga is bhakti yoga.

Yoga and religion serve the same purpose. The word religion comes from the Latin root “ligio” which is the same root for the word ligament.

Ligio means to connect. With the prefix re- added, the meaning

becomes re-connect.

Both religion and yoga guide us to reestablish our eternal loving relationship with that supreme personality of godhead.

Bhakti yoga leads to pure unalloyed love of God. Pure love of God admonishes original sin, awakens true ego and returns us back to home, back to godhead.

This return to our original constitutional position is the perfection of yoga.

It is the perfection and ultimate purpose of the human form of life.

olunteer Kamloops has awarded its Volunteer Recognition Award for the month to Mollie the Therapy Dog and her owner, Bridget Jensen.

The two have contributed more than 900 hours of smiles (or 2,200 hours) to the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program in Kamloops.

Mollie and Bridget were recently awarded a national St. John Ambulance award for volunteer efforts.

While working as a Therapy Dog Team, Mollie and Bridget have visited Royal Inland Hospital, Ponderosa, Bedford Manor, Beattie special class and the Thompson Rivers University’s Hug a Puppy program.

Mollie is also the Paws 4 Reading Story Dog at the Kamloops Library.

Mollie and Bridget volunteer at numerous community events, including the CP Holiday Train, Kamloops Santa Claus Parade, Alzheimer’s Walk, Parkinson Walk, SPCA walk and Kamloops Seniors’ Picnic.

Mollie has been featured in local newspaper articles and TV news clips and Bridget has been interviewed on CBC about the Therapy Dog Program.

While Mollie concentrates on bringing smiles to young and old, Bridget is involved in nearly every aspect of the Therapy Dog organization.

She organizes and distributes the Therapy Dog uniforms, assists with orientations and evaluations and spends countless hours providing supervised visits for new therapy dog teams.

In addition, Bridget is an active member of the Kamloops community.

She is a volunteer usher at Sagebrush Theatre and is involved with the youth programs at the Anglican Church.

She recently co-ordinated medical services for 800 participants at the Canadian Lutheran and Anglican Youth Conference.

MAN ATTACKS PRIDE PARADE THE CANADIAN PRESS

JERUSALEM — Revellers dancing and singing through the streets of Jerusalem during the holy city’s annual Gay Pride Parade were left shrieking in pain and panic yesterday as an anti-gay extremist lunged into the march’s leaders and stabbed six people, Israeli police and witnesses said.

Police said the attacker, Yishai Schlissel, who was arrested at the scene for the attack, had been released from prison just three weeks ago after serving a sentence for stabbing several people at a gay pride parade in Jerusalem in 2005.

Eli Bin of Israel’s emergency service said six young people were wounded in the attack, two of them seriously.

The parade was proceeding as planned, with party music, Israeli flags and rainbow-clad marchers wending their way through the heart of the barricaded streets of central Jerusalem, under a heavy police presence.

An Associated Press photographer saw the attacker enter the throng of people with his hand in his coat and within seconds raise a knife and

begin stabbing people in the back.

Police pounced on him and arrested him.

Suddenly, the crowd’s carefree cheers gave way to screams. Panic ensued and a bloody woman fell to the ground, the Associated Press photographer said.

Jerusalem police spokesman Asi Ahroni said there was a “massive presence’’ of police securing the parade but “unfortunately the man managed to pull out a knife and attack.’’

The parade continued after the wounded were taken for treatment. Media reported thousands of Jerusalem residents who had not initially participated in the parade joined in after the attack in solidarity.

Condemnations of the attack poured in from the heads of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox parties, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon and others across the political spectrum.

Just a few thousand people usually attend the parade in Jerusalem, known for its rich religious history and tradition. A majority of Jerusalem’s residents are observant Jews, Muslims or Christians, conservative communities whose members mostly oppose homosexuality.

SAINT-ANDRE, Reunion — Johnny Begue was out collecting stones on the French Indian Ocean island he calls home when he said he saw part of an airplane wing washed up in the sand.

The fragment may be the first clue to what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared last year with 293 people aboard.

Massive search efforts have failed to find any sign of the plane and authorities are analyzing the piece to see if it matches the missing plane.

“I knew immediately it was part of an aircraft, but I didn’t realize how important it was, that it could help to solve the mystery of what happened to the Malaysian jet,’’ Begue, 46, told The Associated Press yesterday.

Begue is the supervisor of workers who maintain the paths

are going out in the morning to start making a memorial. We will use stones and maybe plant some flowers at the site.

“We want to show respect for the people who died,’’ he said.

He said he called Radio Freedom, his favourite station in Reunion, and the police after he found the wing part.

Within hours, the world came to the realization the aircraft debris on the desolate beach on the island of Reunion was possibly from Flight 370.

“I was walking on the beach, looking for stones that are used to grind spices,’’ said Begue. “And there it was. It was very big, you couldn’t miss it.’’

Begue is still getting used to the significance of the find.

“At first we didn’t know what it was. But now I understand. I am proud that Reunion is known for this big event.”

to the beaches in the Saint-Andre area, keeping them from being overgrown by lush tropical shrubs.

He called several of his workmates and they carried the wing fragment out of the water so it would not be battered by the surf against the volcanic rocks that make up most of the beach.

Authorities wouldn’t comment yesterday on whether Begue was the first to report discovering the component.

Colleague Teddy Riviere corroborated his account and praised him for the discovery.

Members of Begue’s soccer team kidded him on his new fame in local media.

Begue said he also discovered a piece of a suitcase nearby but it is unclear whether there is any link between to the plane part.

Though authorities are still determining whether the plane piece came from Flight 370, Begue said, “We

WORLD VIEWS

Turkey has now joined the war — sort of

L

ast Friday, Turkey joined the war against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the terrorist-run entity that now controls eastern Syria and western Iraq.

After four years of leaving the border open for supplies and recruits to reach ISIL, the Turkish government sent planes to bomb three ISIL targets in Syria. At the same time, Ankara ended a fouryear ban on its antiISIL “coalition” allies using the huge Incirlik airbase near the Syrian border.

There was rejoicing in Washington, since coalition aircraft (mostly American) will now be much closer to ISIL targets in Syria and Turkey will also presumably close its border with Syria at last.

But, there may be less to this change than meets the eye.

On Saturday, Turkey

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH broke a two-year ceasefire with the PKK, a Kurdish revolutionary group that fought a 30-year war to establish a separate state in the Kurdish-majority southeast of Turkey.

In fact, since then, Turkey has carried out considerably more air strikes against the PKK than it has against ISIL. The Turkish army has even shelled territory controlled by the PYD, the Syrian branch of the PKK, although the PYD has managed to drive ISIL troops out of most of the Kurdish

areas of northern Syria.

So, which war is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan really planning to fight? The one against ISIL or his own private war with the Kurds? And, why now?

The only person who knows the answers is Erdogan — and he’s not saying.

But, you can work it out. Erdogan has spent more than a decade subverting a secular and democratic system and establishing his own unchallengeable power.

At first, he was responding to popular demands for equal civil rights for religious people and for an improvement in living standards.

He delivered on his promises and won three successive elections by increasing majorities.

But, he reduced the once-free mass media to subservience, undermined the independence of the judiciary and staged show trials

of his opponents.

He also allowed his political associates to engage in corruption.

As his power grew, he began to indulge his obsessions. He is a deeply conservative Sunni Muslim who shares widespread Sunni belief Shia Muslims are not just heretics, but heretics whose power is a growing threat.

From the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Erdogan supported the Sunni rebels against the regime of Bashar al Assad, which is dominated by the country’s Alawite (Shia) minority — and he didn’t much mind if the Sunni rebels were head-cutting extremists like Islamic State or not.

That’s why the Turkish-Syrian border stayed open and the coalition didn’t get access to Turkish airbases.

At the same time, Erdogan opened peace negotiations with the PKK because conserva-

tive Kurds who voted for his party on religious grounds were an important part of his electoral base.

But, then his party lost its majority in parliament in last month’s election.

What cost him his majority was the new People’s Democratic Party (HDP), which seduced most of his Kurdish voters away.

It’s liberal, pluralistic — all the things that Erdogan an isn’t. But, conservative Kurds had already got the religious freedoms they wanted and the HDP was also advocating equal political rights for the Kurdish minority.

Of course, they switched their votes.

Now, if Erdogan wants to form a coalition government — or even win a new election — he needs the support of the hard right, but they are ultranationalists who loathe his willingness to make deals with the Kurds.

To win them over,

he has started bombing the PKK. He might be restarting a Turkish-Kurdish civil war (the last one killed 40,000 people), but that’s a risk he’s willing to take.

And, on the side, he has dropped a few bombs on ISIL to make the Americans happy.

Erdogan’s problem with Washington was it finally had the goods on him.

A U.S. Special Forces raid in Syria last May killed Abu Sayyaf, the ISIL official in charge of selling black-market oil from ISIL-controlled wells into Turkey.

The American troops came away with hundreds of flash drives and documents that proved Turkish officials were deeply involved in the trade, which has been ISIL’s main source of revenue.

Turkey has now bombed a few ISIL targets to show willing but, if you look at the videos, the Turkish planes are launching

missiles at single buildings out in open fields, not exactly where you’d expect ISIL to have weapons stores and command centres.

It’s as if Turkish forces were ordered to hit targets that wouldn’t do any damage. But at least the coalition gets to use Incirlik.

Is Erdogan still in cahoots with ISIL? Maybe.

Is he actively supporting the other big Islamist group, the Nusra Front, which dominates the battle in western Syria?

Yes, quite openly, and the difference between these two terrorist groups is only skin-deep.

So, if you’re expecting a radical change in the military situation in Syria — don’t. Assad is still losing slowly, the Islamist extremists are still winning and Turkey is still playing a double game. gwynnedyer.com

GARDENS SPROUT IN LONDON COMMUNITY MAILBOX SITES THE CANADIAN PRESS

Miniature gardens are sprouting at certain locations in London, Ont., where Canada Post plans to install controversial community mailboxes.

The fenced-in flower beds, which sit atop the concrete pads where mailboxes will stand, are being installed by a group of residents opposed to the Crown corporation’s plan to end door-todoor residential mail delivery.

The group, called Londoners for Door to Door, says the garden boxes are being set up in areas where local residents are unhappy with making the switch.

Canada Post announced its plan to end door-to-door service in December 2013, citing declining traditional mail volumes as the reason.

It gave itself five years to implement the move to community mailboxes and said it expects 900,000 households to make the switch this year.

Wendy Goldsmith says Londoners for Door to Door was set up in the winter after residents raised concerns about safety, privacy, litter and traffic when mailboxes go into what they consider less-than-ideal locations.

The actions in London are just the latest in a series of efforts by residents who are opposed to Canada Post’s plan.

In one Quebec community, a man dumped soil on the spot where a community mailbox was set to go in, set up a steel fence around it and peppered his lawn with “Save door-todoor’’ signs.

In Hamilton, where

the city took Canada Post to court over how much say local government has over mailbox locations, some residents used bags of mulch and newly planted shrubs to disrupt installation.

Despite local displays of dissent, however, Canada Post emerged the winner of that case. An Ontario judge found that a Hamilton bylaw, which required Canada Post to obtain a $200 permit per site to install boxes on municipal land, did not apply to the Crown corporation.

In London, Goldsmith said the latest “guerilla gardening’’ effort came about because Canada Post wasn’t respecting a request from the city of London to hold off on mailbox installation until further consultation was held.

“What we want to

do is send a really clear message to Canada Post that this is something our community is not going to accept without consultation and without residents being made aware clearly of the impact this is going to have on their communities,’’ she said.

The first garden box was installed on Wednesday, Goldsmith said, another followed yesterday and a third one is planned for today.

In addition to the garden boxes, one neighbourhood is holding a so-called “block party’’ at a proposed mailbox site to prevent contractors from developing it further, Goldsmith said. In that area, neighbours opposed to the community mailbox transition camped out overnight to lay claim to the space, she said.

CABINET MINISTERS HAVE LITTLE TO SAY ABOUT ABORTION PILL THE CANADIAN PRESS

Conservative cabinet ministers shied away yesterday from questions about Health Canada’s decision to approve the abortion drug known as RU-486.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay declined to comment on the decision during a stop in Calgary to make an unrelated announcement.

“Oh gosh. I think that would best be directed to [Health] Minister [Rona] Ambrose,’’ he said.

“It is an issue, of course, for women, families, Canadians everywhere, but I think your question would best be directed to Health Canada.

“Personal opinions are best kept personal.’’

Health Canada confirmed late Wednesday it has approved the drug for use here, a decision that comes 2 1/2 years after the manufacturer’s application was submitted.

Women will need to obtain a prescription from a doctor to purchase the pill.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney and Michelle Rempel, minister of state for western economic diversification, were also in Calgary yesterday and

declined to comment.

Ambrose told reporters in St. Albert, Alta., the decision did not rest with her.

“It’s out of my hands and the decision is final,’’ she said.

“Any of those details you would have to speak to the officials at Health Canada and the scientists that actually manage the regulatory approval process.

I’m not involved in it.’’

Ambrose cancelled two events scheduled for Thursday afternoon and Friday in Edmonton and area.

No reason was given.

A Conservative MP from Saskatchewan strongly condemned the government for approving the drug.

“It is a dangerous combination of drugs that destroys a woman’s tissues in the womb in order to kill her preborn child,’’ David Anderson, the member for Cypress Hills-Grasslands, said in a release.

“I am extremely disappointed that Health Canada would see this as acceptable to Canadians.’’

Anderson declined an interview request.

The RU-486 drug has been available since 1988 in France and was approved for use in the United States in 2000.

Ashley Waddington, a fam-

ily planning expert at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., praised Health Canada’s decision to approve the abortion pill.

She called it a step in the right direction for the government and Canadian women.

Waddington noted the move comes 10 years after the World Health Organization endorsed the drug on its list of essential medicines all countries should have available.

“To be clear, medical abortion has been available in Canada for decades. However, Canadian women have had to rely on less effective, less safe medications for this purpose,’’ she said.

“This is a step in the right direction towards ensuring Canadian women have access to legal first-trimester abortion care that is as safe and accessible as it is in other parts of the world.’’

Vicki Saporta, CEO of the National Abortion Federation and its Canadian offshoot, NAF Canada, has said the drug probably won’t be available in Canada until early next year.

FUNDING FOR IQALUIT PORT THE CANADIAN PRESS

IQALUIT, Nunavut — For decades, high tide has been rush hour in Iqaluit as fishermen and hunters scramble to run their boats up on shore and anchor them before the sea ebbs.

“All the boaters and hunters start to come in all at once,’’ deputy Iqaluit mayor Simon Nattaq said through a translator. “Sometimes it can get pretty dangerous.’’

Those days may be in the past. The federal government committed up to $64 million to finance a deepwater port, which has been at the top of Nunavut’s wish list for years.

“I’m glad it’s in my lifetime,’’ said transportation minister Monica Ell with a laugh.

“It will realize more economic activity and reduce potential economic disruption. We have tourism opportunities — I’m thinking of cruise ships being able to come here more often. For ships, they have a safer and quicker opportunity to unload goods brought here.’’

Ell said construc-

tion projects have been delayed by up to a year when ships have been unable to offload heavy equipment due to ice or bad weather. A port means those delays would end.

All but one of Nunavut’s 25 communities are on the coast.

Only one has any kind of docking facility.

Nunavummiut throughout the territory have long complained coastlines from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island have hundreds of government-owned harbours, while they have nothing.

Even in Iqaluit, supplies shipped from the south must be loaded onto barges and hauled up onto the only CoastGuard-administered beach in Canada.

Cruise ship tourists must cross sometimes choppy waters on inflatable boats if they want to visit the communities they pass.

At least one Inuit fisherman has died while trying to get to his boat moored offshore, which he was trying to move in advance of a storm.

As early as 2006,

federal ministers had a proposal — complete with designs and economic impact — for seven ports around the territory. The total cost would have been $41 million over five years.

The single port in yesterday’s announcement is expected to cost $85 million, which includes about $20 million from Nunavut.

Federal environment minister and soon-to-be federal Conservative candidate Leona Aglukkaq called the project a “gamechanger’’ that will bring big benefits.

“As it is now, many of the fishing industry goes to Greenland to offload,’’ said Aglukkaq, who was in Iqaluit for the announcement.

Construction is due to begin next summer.

Iccha/Wish Fund to Hit Half a Million Dollar Milestone Back in 2007, Al Patel could not have dreamed the impact that his newly established Iccha/Wish fund would have on healthcare delivery at Royal Inland Hospital over the years.

Al Patel said: “When patients are Pictured, from left to right: Shatha Al-Reihani, KAA hospitalized, we “wish” them well. But President; Nicole Carpenter, RIH Foundation; Anil that is not enough. Unless we have Parekh, Iccha/Wish Director; Ron Mundi, Coast the proper equipment, diagnostic Hotel Owner; Al Patel, Iccha/Wish Founder tools, and access to great medical professionals, patients will not get well.

That is why together with my friends, Anil Parekh, Dr. Basawana Gowd, Bob Purohit, Hasmukh Parekh, and Brad Lincoln we started Iccha/Wish. We want to give back to the community that has treated us so well, and help build a stronger and healthier community.”

Since 2007, the Kamloops Accommodation Association (KAA) as well as numerous individuals and businesses throughout Kamloops have helped Iccha/Wish to fundraise and give back to RIH. The Iccha/Wish slogan is “Helping Our Community in Healthcare Excellence” – and they are doing just this by making a yearly pledge to greatly needed equipment and services at the hospital.

They have funded a Cancer Education Room, two Heart Monitors, an Overbed Warmer for the NICU, an ICU Compassionate Room, a Portable X-Ray Machine, and a Colonoscope. Last year, they raised $110,000 for the purchase of a state-of-the-art Lithotriptor to remove kidney stones – allowing patients to receive the surgery at RIH and go home just a few hours after the procedure.

This Friday’s $5 Room Night – where various hotels throughout the city donate $5 for every room booked – marks the beginning of fundraising for the 2015/2016 year and a milestone for the fund. Iccha/Wish has pledged $60,000 for new equipment in the Neurodiagnostics Department – taking them to the half a million dollar mark for giving to RIH. Ron Mundi, Owner of the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, kicked off the fundraising weekend with a pledge of $10,000.

Heidi Coleman, RIH Foundation CEO, said: “Al and his Board of Directors, as well as his many supporters, are making a huge difference at RIH. When they set their mind to something, watch out! The effort they put into fundraising for our hospital – all in the limited spare time they have – is inspirational.”

Musicfest takes over Merritt Rockin’ River Musicfest Merritt kicked off last night in its new location.

The country music festival, which runs until Sunday in Merritt, was based in Mission for six years before its move to the Interior this year.

Last year, the company’s president said Merritt was a “natural choice” for the move, being home to well-established festival grounds as well as the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

Headliners include Lady Antebellum, who performs tonight, Dallas Smith and Dierks Bentley, who perform on Saturday, and Big and Rich, who rounds out festivities on the final day.

Tickets are still available.

A general admission pass for the entirety of the event is $209 plus taxes and service fees in advance, and bumps up to $250 at the gate.

‘HILLIBILLIES ON THE EDGE OF THE NATION’ DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen a band came through his hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi, Marty Stuart would invariably buy a ticket.

And, when the show was over, he’d head up to the stage and look for anything one of the musicians might have left behind — a guitar pick, a set list, just something that would forever connect him with the show.

Through the years, the collection grew.

When a teenaged Stuart found himself playing in Lester Flatt’s band — bluegrass guitarist Flatt partnered with banjo player Earl Scruggs to create The Foggy Mountain Boys — he’d keep his eyes open for bits of memorabilia, even digging through the trash sometimes when he was younger for another memory to store away.

When he played with Doc Watson, he would add to his collection. Ditto for the time he was in Johnny Cash’s band.

The collection kept growing and now numbers about 20,000 items — Cash’s first black suit, handwritten lyrics by Hank Williams, boots Patsy Cline wore, for example — and he’s hard at work helping create a museum to house and make available to the public these moments of countrymusic history.

DAVID MCCLISTER PHOTO Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives will be performing at Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16.

Stuart says he went a bit Hollywood at one point, straying into that glitz and glamour, but realized he wanted to stay true to his own routes and got rid of those items. It’s all about country music because it was always good to him.

“When I was a kid, everyone took me under their wing,” said Stuart, one of the headliners at this year’s Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16.

“It was a tight-knit family,” Stuart said.

“And it still is. It may seem more global, more corporate, it seems colder but the truth is if something happens to someone,

if someone passes on, if someone needs something, the heart and soul of country music comes together real quick.

“But, we still are the hillbillies on the edge of the nation.”

Having started out learning from some of the greats in his business, Stuart finds himself mentoring young talent these days, as well. He’s a fan of Little Emi Sunshine and considers Brandy Clark a brilliant songwriter.

In his own band, The Fabulous Superlatives, he singles out Chris Scruggs, grandson of Earl and a musician who is like an “encyclopedia of

old country music.”

“I learn a lot from him,” he said.

Stuart has a lot to teach, too. The fivetime Grammy Award-winning musician has excelled in all sides of country music, from the gospel to the blues to the get up and party sounds.

There came a moment, however, when he wondered what he was doing — and why. It took him to his friend, mentor and, at one time, father-in law, Johnny Cash, looking for clarity, for answers. He told Cash of the album percolating in his head, a concept album he wanted to call The Pilgrim. Cash told him he could be setting himself up for a lot of rejection but, if he truly believed in it, he should do it.

The album was released to critical acclaim for taking Stuart back to the country music he loved as he told the story of a man’s search for love and redemption.

Cash was a huge influence on his life, he said; an inveterate photographer, Stuart took one of the last photographs of The Man in Black just four days before he died as the two visited. He counts Flatt and Pops Staples among his other influences.

He’s looking forward to his time on the stage in Salmon Arm. The answer had to be yes when he was invited by festival artistic director Peter North.

“Peter is world-class,” Stuart said.

“That’s all you have to say so, if he says to come, I’ll be there.”

The atmosphere at country shows are another perk.

“We did festivals all over the world with the rock stuff and the country mark is definitely a better looking crowd,” he laughed.

“In every show, you’d see a fight or a

scuffle, something, and it’s just aggression . . .

But, with the country festivals, [those are] few and far between, everyone is there just to drink beer and have a good time — it’s an escape.”

Smith plays the festival tomorrow night.

A

nother Canadian act coming to Merritt this weekend is Tebey. Originally from Ontario, he moved to Nashville at age 16 to pursue a career in country music.

A country artist at heart, Tebey has written songs for Shawn Desman, Big & Rich, Emerson Drive, Flo Rida and One Direction.

Don’t expect pop music from him this weekend, though.

“I tend to go outside the genre every once in a while, writing songs for other people, and I think that goes back to the influences growing up, and all different kind of music,” he said.

“I do write pop songs for people all the time and they get recorded which is pretty cool, but, as far as being an artist goes, I’m a country artist.”

He described his own taste as “eclectic,” listing country acts like Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks along with Boys II Men and Nirvana.

Tebey grew up with country.

“It was just was the place I wanted to be, the genre I wanted to be in,” he said.

Asked what he enjoys more, performing or writing, Tebey said it is difficult to compare the two, though the feeling he gets from performing is powerful.

“Especially when you’re getting up in front of a crowd of 10 or 15 thousand, whatever it’s going to be a Rockin’ River Festival, and they’re singing the words to your songs back to you — you can’t really beat that,” Tebey said.

In the past few years, Canadian country music has stepped up its game, he said.

“I think for a while — if I’m being honest — Canadians were kind of considered to be sub-par to the American acts, but not any more,” he said.

“You’ve got plenty of artists in Canada who are making music that is just as good as some of the Americans, and you’re also seeing some people like Dallas Smith, a local Vancouver guy there — having success in the States at the moment, so I don’t think there’s much difference any more now.”

Tebey plays the festival tonight.

omegrown B.C. country music star Dallas Smith will be one of the performers at this weekend’s Rockin’ River festival — and he’s happy to be playing so close to home.

He’d been on the road for months when the Herald caught up to him and he said he was looking forward to seeing his family again.

That will make his Merritt performance all that much sweeter.

“It’s kind of a home show. It’s close enough for my close family to get to, but it’s far enough away that everybody who thinks they can get free tickets, it’s just too far of a drive for,” he said with a laugh.

“It’s nice.”

Not always a country musician, Smith got his start in the music industry in a rock ‘n’ roll band.

He toured the world and performed for troops overseas. But, he said, there was something lacking.

“I’m sitting there, playing arenas and opening up for Three Days Grace and it was just a great run.

Anybody would love to be in that position, but I was just miserable,” he said.

“My head wasn’t in it . . . The wheels were spinning.”

Rather than give up on music, he wanted a new challenge — hence, the country scene.

“It was either I was going to get out of the music business or I was going to do what I wanted,” Smith said.

And, so far, it’s been working out well for him.

“I feel more at home musically and creatively with anything I’ve done in the past, so I’m loving it,” he said.

Donate toys for kids who stay at the emergency shelter DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last year, 173 children called the city women’s shelter home for a time.

For some, those stays, be they for days, weeks or longer, included birthdays — special days that weren’t quite so special given the circumstances that led to these youngsters fleeing their homes.

That’s why the Empty

Toy Box campaign was created, to help ensure there’s always a stock of toys or gift cards available to make those days that matter so much to children.

Jesane Stanko, a family support worker at the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, said in addition to those living at the shelter, there are dozens more — 85 of them last year — who are part of the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA’s Children Who Witness Abuse pro-

gram who also come from families that might need a bit of help to make their special days special.

This is the fourth year for the program, which runs through the month of August. Toy boxes will be at various locations, including at Kamloops This Week at 1365B Dalhousie Dr., to take donations. Other locations include Tumbleweed Toys at Sahali Mall, Kamloops Active Health at 865 Seymour St., the Little

Red Store at 3010 Westsyde Rd. and the downtown and John Tod YMCA centres.

Stanko said toys must not bring with them the image of violence, something that’s easy to do for girls but not so much for boys. While she knows there will be plenty of dolls donated, she suggested Lego, remote-control vehicles and action figures are always popular with young boys.

Teens are another issue,

however. That’s one of the reasons the campaign will also accept gift cards and donations, options that mean the teen set won’t be forgotten. Among suggestions are gift certificates for movies or other activities.

Sometimes, just giving a mom who has fled violence a gift card to go out and buy something for her child works wonders, Stanko added.

“It’s empowerment,” she said. “Mom can go out

and decide what her child wants and buy it.”

Sahali Mall is partnering with the centre on Aug. 22 for a family event that is still being planned but will include a bouncy castle and other activities and a raffle. More components are being added for the day, Stanko said.

And there will be toy boxes there to collect donations. All proceeds from the day will be going to the toy box fund.

The twists and bends of the Sea-to-Sky Highway are world-renowned for their stunning scenery and West Coast beauty. As the highway winds its way north from Vancouver, it clings to the sheer cliffs above Howe Sound.

Making its way to Squamish and then diving inland, the highway climbs its way up the Cheakamus Canyon and into the subalpine forest of the mountain town of Whistler.

It is little wonder then that road cyclists the world over dream of riding the 122 kilometres of the Sea-to-Sky in the safety and solitude that a car-free lane can provide.

That said, this is no easy ride for the uninitiated, and on September 12, some five thousand cyclists will huff and puff their way up seventeen-hundred metres of elevation gain after departing from Stanley Park’s Brockton Point at 7 a.m.

The RBC GranFondo Whistler comes in three

sizes. For inexperienced riders and those seeking a shorter day out, the Medio runs sixty-seven kilometres from Vancouver to Squamish. For riders chomping at the bit, the Forte will tack on the challenging climb up (and descent down) Cypress Mountain, for a grand total of 152 kilometres. But, for the majority of riders, Whistler is the destination. An elite few will be in the race-only Giro division, with riders drafting and attacking their way to the Whistler resort in about

three hours (that’s an average of forty kilometres an hour on a road bike!).

The finish line experience makes for a great spectacle too, with bedraggled riders crossing the line in glorious fashion. A meal and refreshments, an awards ceremony, and a concert follow at Celebration Plaza.

“There’s a sense of accomplishment and relief that a big effort has come to an end,”says Whistler Cycling Club member and communications director Ken

Chaddock, who first rode the Fondo in 2011. He loved it so much that he rode it twice more, in 2012 and 2014. With all those riders on the road, it can be a bit “hectic and scary at the start,” says Ken. But once you get out on the route and past Horseshoe Bay, the peloton spreads out, especially at the thirty-minute climb of Brohm Hill.

“Keeping alert and aware is key,” says Ken, who advises to “practise looking behind you without swerving, and know how to ride on someone else’s wheel.” For many riders, the very idea of biking to Whistler sounds near impossible. But as Ken says, it’s “a doable form of self-powered enlightenment,” with all the benefits of “nicely placed and well-stocked break stops.”

And isn’t that what experiencing BC should be like, as one cycles through suffering and enlightenment?

When travelling in Southern France, hop on a steam train for a ride in Tournon.

W

hen Mother Nature opens her floodgates, all you can do is go with the flow.

Two years ago, my husband and I were on a Viking European river cruise but, because of high waters, we bussed more than we boated.

Although it had been disappointing, the company did everything they could to make sure the trip was memorable and gave us a partial refund to use on a future booking.

Well, here we are, back again, this time to cruise Southern France.

“The Saône River is too high,” the Viking rep explains after we arrive at Chalon-SurSaône, the city of departure.

“We’ll be shuttling you to Lyon, the second stop on your itinerary.”

It’s impossible to hide our shell-shocked faces.

“Don’t worry,” she says, nonchalantly.

“It will all work out.”

Clearly, these unplanned occurrences happen more than we realize, something that’s not boldly outlined when booking one of these pricey holidays.

No point in shedding tears, though,

GOING WITH THE FLOW IN SOUTHERN FRANCE as there’s already enough water flowing around here.

When we arrive, service is exceptional, check-in is efficient and, within short order, we’re introduced to stateroom 208, our floating oasis for the next seven days.

Because they don’t want to veer off promised plans, all original tours are a-go.

We could get on another bus for a two hour ride back to Beaune, in Burgundy, where we’ll partake in a wine-tasting tour.

Or, go even further to Cluny, for a paid optional tour. Lastly — and our choice — is a leisurely day on board with shopping in nearby Lyon.

No bustle and no busses.

Although we’d rather be cruising, there’s plenty to do over the next two days in this country’s third largest city. Trendy shops border the crooked streets and nearly two thousand restaurants offer gastronomy delights.

Lyon is also known for textiles and silk production. I walk away the first day with three colourful scarves.

Also being home to many historical landmarks, some dating back to Roman Times, it’s no surprise Lyon has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On our second day, we tour the oldest area, Vieux Lyon, that snuggles up to the Saône.

A labyrinth of ancient laneways branch

away from the epicentre where the RomanGothic cathedral of St. Jean proudly stands.

And connecting them are more than 300 passageways, known as taboules.

“These were used to transport looms during the era of silk production,” we’re told by our Viking guide. “They were also escape routes during the second world war.”

Speaking of escaping, on day three we finally cast off.

Soon, we are breezing out of the city, scooting beneath bridges and dipping down into concrete locks.

Over a dozen of these engineered marvels are lodged along our route today, making the river levels passable.

In spite of the hiccups, Viking maintains its reputation for cuisine excellence throughout our voyage, from breakfast buffets to full-course meals, topped off with complimentary wine and beer.

They’re even able to accommodate my special dietary requests with delicious and beautifully-presented meals.

Although we’re now cruising, a lot of water travel on this route is unfortunately done at night, so there’s little opportunity to enjoy that iconic river cruise experience.

And even when we’re coasting because of the higher water levels, the top-viewing deck never opens while we’re on the move.

But, we have three ports of call over the

next three days and all the land tours are great.

In Vienne, we explore an amazing Roman museum. In Tournon, we ride a steam train, offering postcard views of flourishing gorges. And, in Viviers, we wander the lamplit streets of this community that dates back to the Middle Ages.

Our itinerary indicates that there is one more port, an overnighter in Tarascon, but we’re told by the staff this stop is only done on the return route — another disappointment.

Instead, while spending the final two days docked in Avignon, we’re bussed back to that area for a tour of Arles, a Vincent Van Gogh favourite.

As a grand finale, we cruise one more short time, up the Rhone, to the famous Avignon Bridge.

Lights illuminate the four arches on this structure, built in 1345. It’s a perfect backdrop for one last photo and an au revoir to new-found friends.

Though there have been glitches along the way, wonderful memories and friendships have been made. And over the past eight days voyaging Southern France, we’ve all managed to go with the flow.

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!

Kamloops, the Tournament Capital of Canada, was home to the Canada Summer Games in 1993. These games were partially funded by players at Kamloops’s two gaming facilities through the city’s share of Provincial gambling revenue and BCLC sponsorship.

This helped make Kamloops what it is today – a community that continues to thrive and grow in B.C. And we’re proud to be part of it. Happy B.C. Day, Kamloops!
