The restaurant that officially never closed is re-opening. Accolades Restaurant on the campus of Thompson Rivers University will be open again to provide a training ground for culinary-arts students and a place for Kamloopsians to dine. In January of 2014, culinaryarts instructor told KTW the award-winning eatery would be closed. A week later, the university said the faculty confirmation
was “based on wrong assumptions.” Instead, TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin said, the restaurant in the culinary-arts building was being reviewed to find ways to make it more streamlined and “do more with less.” “After a one-year hiatus, time spent rethinking and retooling, a new and improved Accolades will be open for business,” culinary-arts chairman Ed Walker said this week in an announcement to faculty. Walker’s email said there will be special events and innovative menus using locally
sourced food and wines. “Industry loves our students because of the real-life kitchen and restaurant experience we provide,” Walker wrote. Maeghan Summers, who graduated from the university’s hotel and resort diploma program — and who is general manager and partner of the Noble Pig Brewhouse in downtown Kamloops — is returning to her alma mater to teach in the program. Accolades will be open Wednesday and Thursday evenings beginning on Sept. 16. To make a reservation, email accolades@tru.ca.
Chinook fishery limits opening A limited chinook fishery in the Kamloops area is open until Sept. 22. The fishery is open in the waters of Kamloops Lake and the Thompson River from the outlet of Kamloops Lake, downstream to fishing boundary signs located at Gold Pan Provincial Park. Anglers may catch four chinook per day, with only one being longer than 50 centimetres. Fishing is permitted during daylight hours only. There are, however, three closed locations: • Deadman: From the fishing boundary signs approximately one kilometre downstream of the Highway 1 bridge at Savona to the CN Rail bridge approximately 500 metres downstream of the confluence with Deadman Creek. • Juniper: From the fishing boundary signs approximately 1.5 kilometres downstream from Juniper Beach park approximately four kilometres to the fishing boundary signs. • Ashcroft: From the fishing boundary sign at the

upstream side of the mouth of the Bonaparte River to Highway 97C bridge in Ashcroft. Anglers fishing for chinook are required to take every measure possible to ensure that their fishing activities avoid impacts on sockeye salmon. Any sockeye encountered must be released with the least possible harm. Survival rates of sockeye released in this fishery are expected to be high. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) said anglers should avoid using fishing methods that catch sockeye salmon and fish selectively, noting bottom bouncing with long leaders is not considered a selective fishing method and is discouraged. The DFO said recreational fishing opportunities in the Thompson River for pink salmon are anticipated later in the season when the abundance of pink salmon permits or the stock proportion of summer run sockeye through the area has decreased. For the 24 hour recorded opening and closure line, call toll-free 1-866-431-FISH (3474).
