The sound of soaring strings fills the courtyard at 465 Victoria St., but on a sunny afternoon in the downtown core, no one is stopping to listen. And that is just what the Thompson-Nicola Regional District wants. For the past two months, the regional district has been pumping classical music into the public square outside its Victoria Street/ Fifth Avenue headquarters daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. TNRD CAO Sukh Gill said it’s an attempt to deter loiterers from congregating in front of the building’s main doors, which also serve as the public entrance to the Kamloops Art Gallery and public library. “You’d have a group of people that might stick around there for 20 minutes, half an hour, or larger groups potentially for a few minutes,” Gill said. “It wasn’t all that inviting for patrons of the art gallery or the regional district or the library, and

TOTEM CITY MOTORS

we were starting to get feedback that wasn’t overly kind in that sense.” Gill said some visitors raised concerns drug deals were being made in the plaza, but the TNRD hasn’t confirmed those rumours. After consulting with Kamloops RCMP, the regional district considered several options for dealing with loiterers, Gill said, including fencing the area. “We want it to be inviting, but at the same time, there has to be safety for people accessing the building, and we don’t want people to be loitering out there and potentially even inhibiting access to the building,” he said. When a staff member suggested classical music, they hooked up a speaker, turned a satellite radio account to the appropriate station and gave it a try. Using classical music to deter loitering isn’t uncommon — the practice has been used by stores and public buildings around the United States and in subway stations in Toronto and London, England. According to a 2008 Seattle Times article, when people hear music they

dislike, it may suppress the production of dopamine by the brain, which can lead to lower moods and, the thinking goes, encourage them to avoid the source of the sound. Though the practice dates back to at least the 1980s, according to news and academic reports, it’s unclear if a recording of Bach or Brahms can truly deter problem behaviours. When the Toronto Catholic school district studied the issue last year, it cited inconclusive evidence (and the expense of additional public address systems) as one of its main reasons not to tune in. On Victoria Street, Gill said the experience has been mixed. “It’s hit and miss,” he said. “Certainly, during the day, we’ve noticed anecdotally that there’s more flow of traffic and there’s less congregation of groups, but whether that’s the music or it’s the time of year, I don’t know if there’s other factors,” he said. The TNRD will continue playing music for the next year or so, Gill said, so it can review how sonatas and symphonies hold up in fall and winter.

2007 FORD EXPLORER LTD.

KGHM Ajax said yesterday it has submitted preliminary responses to questions from government and outside experts on its application, what it called another step toward restarting the environmental review. The company declined to make the information immediately public. Project engineer Chris Wild said in a emailed statement “the responses have been provided to working group members for further consultation and review.” The company added it is not ready to restart timelines on the 180-day review under the comprehensive environmental assessment. The package of responses given to the technical working group includes answers posed by SLR Consulting, hired by the City of Kamloops to examine the company’s 18,000-page application. The working group submitted 2,700 comments and questions as part of the review, including on air quality and public health. The company said it expects more backand-forth with the technical working group before restarting the timeline, anticipated in fall.

New TRU logo, font part of larger rebranding DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With its new brand in place, Thompson Rivers University has introduced a new logo. Lucile Gnanasihamany, the university’s associate vice-president for marketing and communications, said there were many reasons to redo the emblem, but the primary one stemmed from online issues with the former marker. That logo featured a font and second colour that did not reproduce well online, Gnanasihamany said, or in smaller locations

It’s out with the old (top) and in with the new in the logo department at Thompson Rivers University, the latest in the school’s rebranding.

like on the side of a pen. The sage used in the logo would cause pixellation online, she said, and with TRU focusing

much of its marketing in social media, that was a concern. The thin font used also would be difficult to read when repro-

duced in small type. Changing it was always part of the plan — a process that was formally presented in February with the introduction of the slogan “Find Your TRU” — but a decision was made to not link it to the rebranding. Gnanasihamany credited TRU’s marketing and communications department for the work it did with Will Creative Inc., the Vancouver company awarded the $100,000 contract to do all the work. “They held Will’s feet to the fire with the first iterations,” she said of the evolution

Thompson-Nicola film production work slow and steady, official says CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While B.C. is experiencing record-breaking film and television production, the Thompson region is seeing a steady year highlighted by two productions. Spending in the region is up sharply from last year and above average historically, said Vicci Weller, commissioner for the Thompson-Nicola Regional Film Commission. “I don’t know we’ll see that here,” Weller said of record production on the Coast driven by

Amazon and Netflix, as well as feature films. Much of that work would also be studio based, she added. “TV is B.C.’s strength,” Weller said. “Our strength for the TNRD is major film.” Driving much of the work this year were feature films Power Rangers, which used downtown Kamloops locations, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure. The latter film was cut short by several days when actor Dylan O’Brien was injured while shooting near Cache Creek.

The region has seen a number of automobile manufacturers active this year. A Canadian feature film, Juggernaut, is planned, as is another Canadian project, Indian Horse, based on writing of local author Richard Wagamese. Weller said in some cases a high volume of productions on the Coast can hamper prospects in the Kamloops region. A film shoot planned last year was cancelled when it couldn’t find crew, in this case what Weller said was “higher level” positions requiring expertise.

Company wants council to allow Sahali office space ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A company hoping to convince Kamloops city council it should be allowed to operate outside the downtown says it believed it was acting within the rules when it headed for the Southgate Industrial Park. Ashton and Associates Recruiting is asking council to rezone 925 Laval Cres., where it moved in October of 2015 from Victoria Street, to allow it to keep its offices in the industrial park. City zoning policy states office space should mostly be kept downtown. However, Ashton employee Charles Hurtubise said when the company looked at the

city’s bylaws, it felt the Sahali area made more sense and was allowed. “Ninety-five per cent of our business is with light-industrial clients in the forestry, manufacturing fields,” he said. “To us, it just seemed like a natural fit to have our office in a light industrial area, amongst our people.” Hurtubise said the company was downtown for about two years, but found the location a poor fit and struggled with parking issues. The move was also the first step in a planned expansion, he said, which would see the company take over a warehouse space next door on Laval. It would also offer forklift and WorkSafe B.C. training and other

skills development programs required for skilled labourers. Hurtubise said the company was told it could stay if it immediately rented warehouse space, but when it wanted to put off the expansion until it was re-established, it was told council would have to be involved. “It didn’t seem like the city was really willing to co-operate with us on building this aspect of our business,” he said. Hurtubise feels a statement in a report to council that the company is operating without a business license isn’t accurate, since the company has continued to pay its licensing fees to the city. “We’ve done everything we’ve been asked to do,” he said.

from early designs to the final version — a bolder font and single navy blue colour with the peaks of the two

mountains in the logo rounded. “It’s easier to reproduce now,” she said. The logo being

replaced was approved 10 years ago as part of another $100,000 rebranding project at the university.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY TIPS MERV SADDEN

Taking a passenger for a ride on a motorcycle requires much forethought and preparation. Like most things though, it gets easier with experience.

TWO UP RIDING For starters, your bike must be properly equipped to carry a passenger. BC law requires all passengers to be tall enough for their feet to reach designated foot pegs or floorboards. The extra weight of your passenger must also be taken into consideration. The additional weight will affect the way your bike turns, accelerates, and stops. As such, before you venture into traffic, it is wise to practice these skills in a quiet location so that both you and your passenger can learn how your bike will handle with the extra weight. It is also your responsibility to educate your passenger about what to expect while riding. Communication is key. Motorcycles must lean to make turns so your passenger must be taught to pay careful attention while riding and to lean with you. They must also be taught to sit as still as possible while stopped or travelling at low speeds to avoid causing a loss of balance. Finally, a safe riding experience necessitates that both you and your passenger wear an approved properly fitted helmet and protective riding gear.

A prescription for getting caught TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops criminal who made headlines five years ago after escaping from prison is back behind bars after leaving a calling card following a locker break-in at a local gym. Steven Michael Hodgins pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court yesterday to one count each of theft under $5,000 and being unlawfully at large. Court heard the 27-year-old was spotted by a witness using a pair of bolt cutters to break into a locker at the Tournament Capital Centre on May 12. Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said Hodgins made off with keys, an iPhone and a wallet, but left behind a methadone prescription with his name on it.

STEVEN HODGINS

Once the prescription was found, TCC staff called police and got to work on their own investigation. “The staff Googled Mr. Hodgins’ name and found articles about a previous escape from KRCC and photos of him,” Potestio said, noting staffers showed Hodgins’ mugshot to the locker-room witness. “He was convinced it was the same person.”

Hodgins wasn’t arrested until July 25 — more than a month after he was supposed to have begun serving an intermittent jail sentence on weekends for an unrelated conviction. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Hodgins had been clean for a year, but relapsed in May on heroin. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame sentenced Hodgins to 45 days in jail, to be followed by a one-year probation term with orders barring him from going to the TCC or possessing bolt cutters. Hodgins was part of an inmate work crew at KRCC on Oct. 18, 2011, when he took off on foot. An exhaustive search of the area by police turned up nothing and Hodgins wasn’t found for nine days, when a passerby spotted him at Northills Centre.

Request for Comments ResidenƟal two-Ɵer electricity rates Most residents in BC pay for electricity on a two-Ɵer rate (known as a residenƟal inclining block rate or a residenƟal conservaƟon rate). Under the two-Ɵer rates, customers pay a lower price for electricity consumed up to a threshold and a higher price for electricity consumed above the threshold. These two-Ɵer rates were implemented by BC Hydro and ForƟsBC between 2008 and 2012. Before the two-Ɵer rates were implemented residents in BC paid one price for all electricity they consumed. The BC Minister of Energy and Mines has asked the BriƟsh Columbia UƟliƟes Commission to report to the government on the impact of these two-Ɵer rates on customers in regions without access to natural gas. Request for your comments If you are a residenƟal electricity customer of BC Hydro or ForƟsBC and have no access to natural gas, the Commission is seeking your comments on: • the impacts you have experienced or idenƟed from the two-Ɵer electricity rates; and • your awareness of ways to miƟgate any impacts.

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

HOT: The 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. The opening ceremony is today, but the Games began earlier this week with Canada’s thrilling 2-0 win over Australia to start the women’s soccer competition. Much has been written about the problems plaguing the Games in Brazil — and there are many — but from today onward, attention should be focused on the athletes. Four years ago, Canada finished 13th at the London Summer Games. In Rio, a top 10 overall placing is within reach. NOT: BC Hydro’s decision to cut some of its familiar Power Smart activities, such as the fridge buy-back plan and incentives for energy-efficient light bulbs. Wasn’t this the power entity committed to allowing all of us to be green? The Crown corporation is also deferring a lot of debt to future years and proceeding with rate increases for the next three years in the face of decreased demand for electricity.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Tooth talk — as in the debate on the merits of dental floss. One of the more popular news stories this week dealt with the fact the U.S. government has removed flossing from its dietary guidelines. Excising the nightly tooth-care ritual seems to have coincided with requests from The Associated Press for evidence in studies that flossing makes a difference than simply brushing alone. It turns out there is precious little data to show flossing helps fight cavities or gum disease any more than brushing alone will. Still, we tend to side with flossing as that slim wire does get food out from the tiniest of spaces. And that is always a good thing.

The Year Without Summer

xactly 200 years ago, residents across the globe shivered through the Year Without Summer. Due to the massive eruption of the Mount Tambora in Indonesia in April 2015, weather patterns were all messed up in the spring and summer of 2016. The Northern Hemisphere in particular was affected, with food shortages, famine, snow in the summer, a persistent dry fog and a sun constantly obscured by the dust created by Tambora’s explosion — and by the eruptions of at least four volcanoes in the previous three years. The Tambora blast killed tens of thousands of people, is considered the most destructive explosion in the past 10,000 years and occurred during the end of the Little Ice Age, lowering temperatures on Earth that were already colder than normal. It is a fascinating story and one that spawned the legendary story of Frankenstein, with various groups in Europe setting up challenges to write gloomy stories to complement the gloomy weather. All this occurred precisely two centuries ago this month, which is interesting since 2016 is shaping up to be the latest Year Without Summer. As summers go, this year has been a colossal bust, with the sunshine and heat having little staying power. Sure, yesterday was a glorious Kamloops summer day:

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS hot, sunny and nary a cloud in the sky. Of course, it was a work day, when many of us were stuck inside, unable to revel in the daytime bliss. And, as if on cue, that slice of summer should vanish just in time for the weekend, with Hot Nite in the City and Ribfest being threatened with the rain that has suddenly become the July and August norm in this semi-arid desert oasis. April and May, if you recall, were far more July and Augustlike than July and August, with little rain and lots of sunshine and heat. June was much drier than normal. The prime summer months seem to have dissipated like so much ash from a Pacific Rim volcano. But since we do not have a rumbling mountain to blame, to whom or what can we cast our angry eyes? While the slightly warmer and drier pattern in June was caused El Nino, the Christ Child can not be blamed for the crap Mother Nature has thrown at us during

July and August. “It’s not a player any more in our temperatures,” Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells told KTW last month. At about the same time last month, fellow Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald was predicting a hotter than normal August and assuring us summer was right around the corner. That was three or four corners ago and still Kamloops is masquerading as Vancouver. So, if we cannot point to a mount of rock and lava and we cannot blame El Nino (or his sister La Nina), what is the cause of this dreary unsummerlike weather? Global warming/climate change? That’s a dicey proposition in that weather and climate are two different beasts. If one was to assign the wet and cloudy summer to climate change, one would risk enduring the wrath of those who do not believe in such poppycock — wildfires and droughts and flash floods and coastal erosion and villages crumbling under melting permafrost notwithstanding. I’m afraid this lost summer can be attributed to . . . weather. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. On the positive side, wildfire season seems to have been postponed and those with camping plans can enjoy a campfire — which they will need to dry out their wet clothing. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EUTHANASIA COMES WITH MANY PROBLEMS Editor: Dr. Max Zahir’s letter of July 12 (‘Federal Liberal assisted-dying law not humane’) asks for a response. What are the reasons for wanting euthanasia? Dignity and pain. We have the means to deal with pain effectively through palliative care. The problem is that palliative care is under-supported, underrecognized, underfunded and only available to 30 per cent of Canadians. Suffering is real. There are many heroic stories of people who have lived through horrific events, medical or situational, that would encourage a wish to die. An absolutely superb book that discusses death and ALS in a very real and courageous way is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I suggest Zahir give it a read. We haven’t done our jobs as people within our society to help all members feel valuable regardless of what they can or can’t do or how they feel. The problem with euthanasia is that it offers people in very vulnerable states of being the means to kill themselves because they may feel like they are a burden to society. We need to do whatever we can to visit and encourage the sick, the dying, the helpless and

the disabled to help them realize their dignity. We need to give them a reason to live. I am also very dismayed by the language used in the recommendations — the open ended-ness, the fact we will be the only country that would expect doctors who disagree with it to make referrals and that this would potentially be offered to minors in the future. What is a mature minor? I have discussed this topic with many teens and many think this will be abused by a teenager who is going through a hard time. Most teens’ decisions are heavily influenced by peers or parents. The legal language used so far by the committee will allow for a full gamut of interpretations with ultimately an “anything goes” ways and means — we are all close to death, relatively speaking. I am sure the vagueness of the current legal language will allow for most possibilities, contrary to Zahir’s claim. With a lack of GP doctors, lack of access to palliative care, an aging population, an already strained medical system and dropping revenue from resources, is euthanasia a smokescreen, Canada’s cheap fix for saving money at the expense of lives?

The economy of Holland could not go back to a life-oriented health-care system. Holland relies on euthanasia so heavily it could not afford to keep people alive. The problem with Canada is we tend to think rights and not responsibilities. We have moral and ethical responsibilities to protect those who are unwilling or unable to protect themselves. We need to protect the most vulnerable in society through law, allow all medical personnel the freedom to choose not to participate in euthanasia any way and seek to support alternatives like palliative care adequately. Dr. Jan Bernheim, a Belgian oncologist, medical researcher and biomedical consultant, and main proponent for euthanasia, stated when pressed: “There are problems with the Belgian euthanasia law” and proceeded to refer to a study that may be published soon in which the data shows other problems with the practise of euthanasia in Belgium. It is unfortunate Zahir wants to import these problems to Canada. I am glad he doesn’t speak for all doctors and I am very glad he’s not mine. Curtis Howell Kamloops

Kamloops Kia - A Friend of the Community

BC Hydro is going ahead with its planned four per cent rate increase this year and deferring more debt to future years as it revises its electricity demand forecast downward. The provincially owned utility has not asked for an increase in its government-imposed rate plan despite a revised demand forecast with $3.5 billion less revenue over the next 10 years. BC Hydro has filed a three-year plan with the B.C. Utilities Commission that would increase rates four, 3.5 and three per cent in the next three years. The four per cent increase is already showing up on customer bills as an interim increase. With the Site C dam on the Peace River and other upgrades amounting to $2 billion a year, the plan includes additional deferred debt until 2023, when Site C is due to be completed.

Revelstoke dam on the Columbia River is due to have a sixth water turbine added, but Site C is BC Hydro’s priority today.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald said the long-term nature of capital projects means its capital cost savings don’t start until the next decade. BC Hydro has also cut some of its familiar Power Smart activities, such as the fridge buy-back plan and incentives for energyefficient lightbulbs. McDonald said BC Hydro is seeing lower revenues due to two warm winters and downturns in mining and forest products. It still projects

of Site C and translates to a 28 per cent rate increase. The 10-year rates plan allows the utilities commission to regain control over approving customer rates by 2020, after five years of political direction. Dix said with the new demand forecast and commodity prices expected to remain low, BC Hydro should have added a sixth turbine to its Revelstoke dam for $450 million before embarking on the $9-billion Site C project.

Canada Games Pool closed Looking to take a dip in Kamloops? For the next 10 days, the Tournament Capital Centre is a dry area. The Canada Games Pool is undergoing its annual summer maintenance shutdown and will re-open on Aug. 15.

The Brocklehurst outdoor pool is also closed today and tomorrow for a swim meet, but will be open to the public for the rest of the shutdown period, along with the Prince Charles Park wading pool and the Riverside Park swimming

area, where lifeguards will be on duty between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. each day, weather permitting. Waterparks in McDonald, Riverside, Westsyde Centennial and Albert McGowan parks are also open for splashing.

Chamber announces nominees More than 500 nominations have been submitted for this year’s Business Excellence Awards. In its 30th year, the awards program put on by the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce in partnership with TD Bank Group celebrates local businesses. “This year’s awards criteria were much more stringent and, as a result, we expected to see fewer

growing overall demand as population and economic growth continue. NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the new deferred debt represents roughly $500 for each of BC Hydro’s two-million customers and it is a political move to get the B.C.

Uncovering an ancient settlement 2,000-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERIES AT SAVONA CONSTRUCTION PROJECT CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

rchaeological work is expected to soon finish on a construction project in Savona that yielded objects in the range of 2,000 years old. The archeological material, including a knife, tools and animal bones are evidence Secwepemc people used the area on Kamloops Lake as an occasional settlement, said archaeologist Joanne Hammond, who oversaw the project. It is the only recorded archaeological site at the east end of Savona. “It’s a mostly disturbed site, but it’s the only site around,” Hammond said. The survey was done as part of the replacement of the Durand Creek Bridge near the Aspen Planers’ mill site. The aged one-lane bridge was replaced

through funding by B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The four-person crew monitored excavation to replace the bridge and did surveys in few hundred metres around the site. “We suspect the [summer village] site is under the original mill,” Hammond said. Recent uses included the mill, a runway and orchard — making the area highly disturbed. That disturbance comes from industrial, farming and settlement, as well as natural sources, including creek flooding and mud flows. Hammond said one of the main settlement sites for Secwepemc people in the 1,200- to 2,500-year-old period in this area was near the Durand Creek site, at the west end of Kamloops Lake where it becomes the Thompson River. The village areas would have co-existed with settlements in Kamloops, including

at the settlement area at what is now Sun Rivers, which was surveyed and excavated prior to that development. “We knew the potential for the site was great,” Hammond said. While the Skeetchestn Indian Band reserve is today located up Deadman Valley, Hammond said the most intensive pre-contact settlement areas were at Savona and the mouth of Deadman Creek at Kamloops Lake. “In a few short years, almost all the sites on the Thompson were pre-empted. There was quite a land rush in the 1870s by Europeans.” The band has not done a major survey of the area around Steelhead Provincial Park, considered the most likely location for a village, because it is not funded. Archaeological material is recorded and handed over to the Secwepemc Museum and Archives.

Kids removed from disabled parents’ care Nova Scotia appeal court overturned lower court’s decision that authorities need to offer parents more help THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s highest court has denied an intellectually disabled couple custody of their children, saying a lower court was wrong to prioritize the parents’ rights over their sons. “We recognize [the parents] genuinely want to continue to parent their children and losing the right to do so is a devastating loss,’’ the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal said in a decision released Wednesday. “Ultimately, the paramount consideration is the best interests of [the children]. “They need to be protected from harm

and, unfortunately, their parents are unable to do so.’’ The appeal court overturned a lowercourt decision that returned the children to their parents. In that ruling, Family Court Justice William Dyer had said authorities needed to offer the parents more help, not take their sons away. “It may be time for a different perspective and a different approach in the best interests of the family,’’ Dyer said in his own ruling, adding: “There has been much said about the parents’ failures. The bigger issue may be whether society has failed them.’’ The appeal judges

The record is clear and persuasive: the parents lack the ability “ and capacity to resume safely the care of their children.”

— Appeal court

substituted their own judgment rather than ordering a new trial, in an effort to resolve the issue more quickly for the children. The boys, now aged two and three, have been in the care of child-protection authorities for much of their short lives. Their 26-year-old mother and 44-yearold father have lived together several years. The appeal court said the two, who were both neglected themselves as children, present socially as young adolescents. The court said the parents bickered badly

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11

and often, and exposed their kids to violence. They prioritized their own needs over their children’s and showed little ability to change, it said. The parents’ lawyers argued there is no evidence they abandoned their sons, but the appeal court said the parents were dysfunctional and unable to care for their children, and their past behaviour means the kids are at “high risk’’ for future harm. Other, less intrusive methods to address the issue failed, it said. The appeal court noted neighbours overheard screaming and things being thrown in the parents’ apartment. On one supervised visit, the father even threw a toy train, kicked chairs and yelled “you don’t have a father’’ at one boy. Other times, he kicked a crib and punched a wall. “The children were often at the epicentre of dangerous outbursts

of uncontrolled anger,’’ said the appeal court. The youngest child was first taken into care as an infant, after the father was charged after domestic violence. The second was taken at 10 months, after the mother decided to return to her partner after a brief separation. Both children now have high needs and are aggressive, and the older boy bangs his head, the appeal court said. The appeal court denied the parents any future access to their boys, saying it “is not in the best interest of the children.’’ It noted the kids had good prospects for adoption. “Understandably, the parents love and want to continue to care for their children. “Losing their right to parent cannot be interfered with lightly and should only occur if required to protect the welfare of a child. Such

is the circumstance in this case,’’ said the appeal judges. In his decision at trial, Dyer had said the agency failed “to recognize the parents’ special needs as intellectually disabled citizens’’ and were simply measured on their inability to meet expectations. “Rarely, if ever, I find, did anyone see the parents through a disability lens or put themselves in their shoes, so to speak,’’ he said. “Perhaps the parents deserve far more credit than they have been given and the agency considerably less. “I find, with respect, a more nuanced and insightful approach to the parents was warranted.’’ “In my opinion, the parents may need society’s long-term help. Many disabled people do. This should not be a rationale to permanently remove their children from their care.’’ In its decision, the appeal court criticized

Dyer for quoting from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which wasn’t in evidence in the trial. “It was inappropriate for the trial judge to support his call for a ‘different perspective’ with a document arguably not properly before the court but, more importantly, a document upon which the parties had no opportunity to comment,’’ the appeal court said. It said Dyer did not consider the “ample evidence’’ before him about risks of harm to the children. “The record is clear and persuasive: the parents lack the ability and capacity to resume safely the care of their children. “This is not likely to change,’’ said the appeal court, composed of justices Edward Scanlan, Cindy Bourgeois and Elizabeth Van den Eynden.

Parks Canada kills wolf in Banff area THE CANADIAN PRESS

BANFF — Parks Canada staff have killed another wolf seeking to feed at campgrounds in Banff National Park, as wardens ticket a growing number of visitors for leaving out food and garbage. Parks Canada spokeswoman Christina Tricomi said the wolf was displaying bold behaviour toward people and could not be scared away from the Two Jack Main and Lakeside campgrounds. About 200 tent

campers were moved away from the area on Wednesday as a safety precaution before the wolf was destroyed. “This was a very difficult decision for Parks Canada staff, who work so hard to protect these animals but, in the end, it was a necessary action to ensure visitor safety,’’ Tricomi wrote in an email Thursday. In June, Parks Canada staff killed a female wolf it said aggressively looked for food at the Tunnel Mountain campground near Banff.

Park wardens have charged people at 20 campsites over the past month — including eight people over the past week — for keeping unsatisfactory campsites, which includes leaving out food or garbage that can attract wildlife. “Parks Canada will be patrolling all campgrounds and any noncompliance with keeping a clean campsite will immediately result in the cancellation of permits, evacuation and charges with fines of up to $25,000,’’ she said.

Parks Canada said it has worked hard to try to keep wolves away from campers, including collaring the animals to monitor their behaviour. Wolf warnings, including reminders not to leave food out, are posted at campgrounds and campers are told about the danger when they check in. “Despite these efforts, wolves are still receiving food rewards in campgrounds and sites were still being left in unsatisfactory condition by visitors,’’

Tricomi said. Katie Morrison, conservation director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Association, said people who visit national parks need to remember why they were established — in part, to protect wildlife. She said the association is concerned about the fate of the wolves and the conservation of the parks as ecosystems. “People who are going to these places to appreciate them are not acting responsibly,’’ she said.

It has been a tough season for the wolves that make up the Bow Valley pack. Last month, three wolf cubs were killed by a train in the park. Another cub was killed by a train in June. Parks Canada said it will work to ensure the remaining wolves in the pack are wary of people. Wardens also plan to step up efforts to ensure campers and other visitors follow park rules, including keeping food and garbage secure, not feeding wildlife and giving animals space.

‘Troubling trend’ as Toronto real estate sees record sales Housing policy is “ now top of mind for all levels of government.’’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Toronto’s scorching real estate market had another hot month in July, with sales hitting a new monthly record and prices continuing to soar, according to the most recent data from the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). TREB says the average resale price of a home in the greater Toronto area climbed to $709,825 last month, up more than 16 per cent compared to a year ago. The average price of a detached home soared even higher, up a whopping 21 per cent from July

2015 to $952,983, while the average price of a condo rose 9.2 per cent to $406,865. Sales of homes also increased, with 9,989 dwellings changing hands in the greater Toronto area last month — the highest number ever recorded in July. That’s compared to 9,813 in July of last year. Meanwhile, the number of new listings shrank roughly seven per cent to 13,542 last month compared to a year ago, reflecting what the real estate board calls a “troubling trend’’ as demand outpaces supply in the Toronto area.

The sales data comes as experts caution that a new 15 per cent tax aimed at foreign investors in Vancouver’s real estate market could end up further driving up house prices in Toronto. The B.C. government has introduced the tax, which took effect Tuesday, on foreign nationals who purchase properties in Metro Vancouver in the hopes of improving housing affordability. Some realtors have voiced concerns that investors looking to dodge the tax could park their money in other areas of the country, particularly Toronto where prices are

Death triggers airbag investigations in U.S., Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS

DETROIT — The death of a Canadian driver has sparked a new investigation into a potentially deadly airbag problem affecting vehicles on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. The July 8 fatality of a motorist in Newfoundland and Labrador marked the first time a Canadian has been killed by an exploding airbag inflator, Transport Canada says. The ruptured inflator in the 2009 Hyundai Elantra sent metal fragments into the passenger cabin, killing the driver in what officials described as a low-speed collision. The reason the airbag ruptured remains unknown. Transport Canada and the RCMP are investigating the cause of the incident, as well as the manufacturer — ARC Automotive Inc. of Knoxville, Tenn., which is already under investigation by American authorities. Transport Canada said ARC is co-operating with investigators. Transport Canada said it is still determining what model vehicles may be affected by the new problem. The agency’s American counterpart is

trying to determine the entire population of ARC inflators in the U.S., which it estimates at eight million in older vehicles made by General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Hyundai and Kia. Transport Canada says the safety benefits of airbags, which rely on controlled explosions that rapidly fill airbags in order to protect people in crashes, continue to outweigh the risks. The death and investigations bring fresh urgency to a probe opened last year by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) after an Ohio woman was injured by an ARC inflator. Yesterday, the U.S. safety agency upgraded its investigation to an engineering analysis, a step closer to a recall. In Canada, Transport Minister Marc Garneau could order a recall without having to wait for the company to do so. “Any decision to recall is based on careful, verified information,” said Garneau spokeswoman Delphine Denis. “At this point, the department’s investigation — which is still preliminary — is needed to understand the issue.” U.S. investigators began looking at ARC inflators in July of last year after getting

made in China were sold in the U.S. Although the results are similar, the ARC problem is different from one that resulted in the recall of 69-million inflators in the U.S. made by Takata Corp. Takata inflators have been blamed for at least 11 and as many as 14 deaths worldwide, as well as hundreds of injuries. Takata uses the explosive chemical ammonium nitrate to inflate airbags, but the chemical can degrade over time and burn too quickly, blowing apart metal inflator canisters. Canada’s colder — and therefore less humid — climate for most of the year largely minimizes the risk of the chemical degrading and heating too quickly, requiring it to be replaced. ARC uses a small amount of ammonium nitrate to ignite another chemical that inflates airbags and authorities say they are not looking at ammonium nitrate as the cause. They are looking into whether a manufacturing problem causes a vent to become blocked in the ARC inflators. With no place for the gas to escape, a metal inflator canister can be blown into pieces.

reports the Ohio woman was seriously hurt when her 2002 Chrysler Town & Country minivan crashed and the inflator ruptured. The agency said it also found another injury involving someone in a 2004 Kia Optima midsize car. In both cases, the inflators were made at ARC’s factory in Knoxville, according to agency documents. In the probe, the NHTSA focused on inflators made from 2000 until September of 2004. The population includes about 2.6 million that were sold to General Motors. According to NHTSA, the Elantra in the Newfoundland crash had an ARC inflator that was made in China, but it is unknown whether any of the same inflators were used in vehicles sold in the U.S. ARC has confirmed the Canadian Elantra inflator “was substantially the same design’’ as the one used in at least one other U.S. model, the 2004 Kia Optima. The administration said in a statement it would direct the collection and testing of ARC inflators as it tries to determine what caused them to explode with too much force. The agency said it will focus on determining the entire population of ARC inflators in the U.S. and whether any inflators

of dollars less than their male coworkers, but one professor says steps must be taken to prevent — not just rectify — such biases in academia. In a memo obtained by The Canadian Press, the University of Waterloo said a working group tasked with analyzing faculty salaries uncovered a “systemic gender anomaly consistent across the university.’’ As a result, it said an adjustment of $2,905 will be made to the salaries of all female faculty members who were in the bargaining unit as of April 30 of last year. However, the working group said increases will not be retroactive and, due to budgetary constraints, some may not receive money until next year. Aimee Morrison, an associate professor at the university

and associate chair of graduate studies, said this type of inequity is a problem across academia “and probably all fields.’’ While it’s great the university is willing to address the problem, “I don’t see a bigger conversation happening in really pointed ways about how does this keep happening,’’ she said. “It’s not an anomaly if it’s a pattern.’’ Several other Canadian universities, including Hamilton’s McMaster University and the University of British Columbia, have given raises to female faculty members in recent years so that they earn as much as their male peers. The University of Waterloo has held salary reviews in the past, including one in 2008 that made several recommended sal-

ary adjustments for individual women faculty but did not lead to increases. The working group recommends the university examine salaries every five years on top of conducting annual reviews within each department. It also stresses that, since starting salaries and merit increases are key factors affecting pay, “care should be taken to ensure that starting salaries are equitable, as inequity at this point can quickly compound.’’ Morrison said there could be checklists or tools to help people take note of their internalized biases when determining salaries. Waterloo’s latest review was part of a salary settlement between the university and the faculty association that was reached May 1 of last year.

Other salaries were also flagged as anomalous and the review recommended a onetime adjustment be made to make up for the discrepancy. Salaries were evaluated using a regression model that took several variables into account, including annual performance evaluations and outstanding performance awards. The report says 71 of roughly 1,170 faculty members were identified as “potential anomalies,’’ and, of those, 59 were confirmed anomalies, meaning “there was nothing in their career path that could account for the aberration in their actual salaries and the fitted/ predicted salary outputted from the regression model.’’ The remaining 12 will be investigated further.

McRae leads Classics at nationals ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was undoubtedly the strongest meet of Ryley McRae’s competitive swimming career — and it came at the perfect time. McRae captured four medals at the 2016 Canadian Age Group Championships on the weekend, gold medals in the 100-metre and 200m butterflies, a silver medal in the 50m butterfly and a bronze medal in the 800m freestyle. He placed in the top eight in Canada in all of his events, also finishing fifth in the 200m freestyle in a personal-best time and touching the wall seventh in both the 100m and 400m freestyles. McRae finished second in the nation among swimmers in his age group at the Calgary meet. He also achieved two time standards for the 2017 Canadian Swimming Trials in Victoria in April and has three standards for the 2017 Canadian Swimming Championships in Montreal in August. With some of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club’s strongest

Ryley McRae of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club had four podium finishes at the Canadian Age Group Championships on the weekend.

swimmers set to graduate following the 2016 Canadian Swimming Championships, which began yesterday in Edmonton, the 15-yearold McRae is expected to take the torch and lead the next generation with results like those at the age group championships. “Ryley really stepped it up,” Classics’ head coach Brad Dalke told KTW. McRae is looking to be among the top 15 in his age group when Canada ranks swimmers for the start of next season. He has already been identified as a prospect for the 2020 Olympic

Summer Games. “I had a really good feeling about this meet,” McRae said. “I knew all my hard work was going to pay off. Everything seemed to click during my races.” McRae has designs to follow in the footsteps of Colin Gilbert, one of the Classics’ most decorated swimmers, who will be graduating from the program at the end of this season. Dalke said McRae and fellow Classic Ethan Jensen are the core of the next generation of boys’ swimmers for the club. It’s an honour McRae already

knows will bring with it added pressure, but he said he’s managed to learn from Gilbert and feels he’s ready for the expectations. “I’ve always sort of looked up to him,” McRae said of Gilbert. “Now that he’s graduating, I know that I have to pick up my game and start breaking his records and taking after him.” McRae, who doesn’t turn 16 until December and will enter Grade 11 at Sa-Hali secondary this fall, wasn’t the only Classic to post a strong weekend at age group championships. The club’s 14 swimmers in attendance totalled 10 medals — three golds, three silvers and four bronzes — as it finished 15th overall at the 149-team meet. The Classics finished sixth among B.C. clubs, trailing only the province’s major centres and Penticton. “Overall, I’m really excited about it,” Dalke said. Megan Dalke captured five medals at the Canadian championship, winning gold in the 400m freestyle, silvers in the 400m individual medley and 1,500m freestyle and bronzes in the 200m freestyle

and 200m butterfly. She finished fourth in the 200m IM, qualifying for the 2017 Canadian World Swimming Trials in the event. Dalke set club records in the 100m butterfly, 200m butterfly, 200m IM, 200m freestyle and 1,500m freestyle. Adrian Szentmiklossy won a bronze medal in the 200m butterfly and Sarah Koopmans set a new club record in the 50m butterfly. Jensen finished fourth in the 100m butterfly and achieved his first standard for the 2017 Canadian World Swimming Trials. He also set club records in the 50m and 100m butterflies. Gilbert, Dalke, Makena Sutherland, Dylana Milobar and Meaghan Frenks were in attendance for the Classics when the 2016 Canadian Swimming Championships began yesterday in Edmonton. The meet concludes Sunday. From there, only Gilbert will continue, swimming in Hawaii at the 2016 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships.

Local talent exploding onto TOFC scene MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson Okanagan Football Club (TOFC) will feature more than double the number of Kamloops players this season than it did in 2015-2016. “Players are starting to recognize, those that are seriously committed to pursuing soccer at the highest level, that this is the pathway,” said Ciaran McMahon, now in his third year as technical director for the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA). “It wasn’t quite open when I started my position here. Kamloops tended to hold on to the better players and not let them go. We’ve been actively trying to push them to the higher levels, so they can access better training, better coaching, better competition and provincial-level programming.” TOFC fields girls’ and boys’ teams in under-12 to under-18 divisions in the EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL), which had its inaugural season in 2012 and features many of the best the province has to offer in those age groups. “We’re seeing lots of kids from this program catapult into the provincial-team programs and

residency programs, and players seeing success in university programs all over the province,” said Domenic Comita, who has two sons on TOFC squads and helps the league in a public-relations role. “There are kids trying out from Prince George all the way to Penticton for these teams, so it’s tough competition.” McMahon takes note of KYSA players who might be ready to make the jump to TOFC and stays in contact with its general manager, Kai Tolpinrud, and technical director, Jason Thompson, but tryouts for the BCSPL outfit are open. Evaluations were held in July and 33 players from the Tournament Capital were selected to TOFC teams, which play against Coquitlam Metro-Ford FC, Vancouver/Richmond-based Fusion FC, Fraser Valley Premier, Burnaby/NorthVancouver-based Mountain United FC, Coastal FC of South Surrey, Surrey United SC and Vancouver Island Wave. The increasing exodus of toplevel players from the KYSA Blaze rep teams will not be met with universal praise from local coaches, parents and players, but McMahon said blowback has been minimal. “I think we’ve gotten past that

hurdle,” he said. “My sole focus is player advancement, what is best for the player, not what is better for everybody else. “By advancing players on, those who are ready, it opens up opportunities for the next level of players to blossom and grow within the Kamloops environment.” Playing for TOFC means committing to a gruelling schedule for players and parents alike, with soccer being played 10 months of the year. Home games rotate through Interior locations, teams often practice in Vernon two to three times a week and road games are played on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, although the league does its best to find a middle ground when TOFC squads tangle with Island sides. Having more River City players on each TOFC team will make it a touch easier on parents, who can share carpooling duties. While improved coaching in the KYSA youth ranks and on local high school teams has contributed to the advancement of Kamloops talent, McMahon said both take a back seat to player commitment. “Ultimately, it’s the drive and the desire of the player that will get them there,” he said. “If they

only come out to practice when it’s scheduled for them, they usually don’t go much further than their own community.” Kamloops players Allison Amy, Kiera Howaniec and Liesl Milovick were part of the first TOFC team to win a BCSPL title, the under-13 girls’ group that topped Coastal FC 3-1 in the league championship final in Kelowna in June. Perhaps they have eyes on one day cracking the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite REX Program, the female equivalent of the Whitecaps FC Residency Program, both of which are further on down the high-performance pathway. At just 12 years old, Kamloops and TOFC product Will Calne is heading to the Lower Mainland this fall to join the Vancouver Whitecaps Pre-Residency Program, a full-time development system, paid for by the club, aimed at grooming its next generation of Major League Soccer talent. “It’s [the TOFC] developing high, high levels of players and I think the future for Canadian soccer is bright, given this system that we’re using now,” Tolpinrud said. There is somewhere between 15,000 and 16,000 players in TOFC’s catchment region, according to McMahon, and programs

across the province are improving, but the KYSA’s technical director is aiming to have even more than 33 players suiting up for TOFC in the future. “If we’re getting it right, we should be seeing more players of that calibre who can make the step up,” McMahon said. “Whether they choose to or not is an entirely different question.”

Roster round-up

Kamloops players who will take to the field with TOFC this season include Zora Keys, Bella Sorley and Kathleen Moore on the 2004 girls’ team; Alesandro Comita, Rhys Gustafson and Magnus Engelsen, 2004 boys; Connor Dueck, Ben Jacoby and Eunsu Yuen, 2003 boys; Kiera Howaniec, Liesl Milovick, Ella DeRose, Emma Rollins and Amy Allison, 2003 girls; Kiana Onyango, Sophia Seibel and Tatiana Mueller, 2002 girls; Jonathan Rinaldi, Matthew Hanks, Carson Pyle and Domenico Comita, 2002 boys; Yvonne Manwaring, Molly McLeod, Mya Onyango and Piper Connor, 2001 girls; Denzel Marican, Adam Calne and Stuart Klenner, 2001 boys; Ainsley Grether, Kate Cartwright and Grace Miller, 2000 girls; and Jared Keim and Kolton Storzuk, 1999 boys.

Mira Singh competes at the 2016 World Reebok CrossFit Games at the StubHub Centre in Carson, Calif.

Singh finishes fifth at World CrossFit Games ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It started with 2,000 people, which shrunk to 200, which fell to 20. In that final group, Mira Singh ranked 11th entering the 2016 World Reebok CrossFit Games, knocking on the door of the top 10 in the 55 to 59 age category. But, by the time she and the category’s 19 other athletes left the field of the StubHub Centre — home of Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy — in Carson, Calif., Singh had finished fifth in the world. “It was pretty exciting,” Singh, who co-owns Natural Strength CrossFit in Kamloops, said of the Games. “You literally feel like you’re at the Olympics. It’s scary, exciting, adrenaline. The bar is higher almost every year, they make it tougher. The athletes get better, people get stronger and faster and they just do better things. They just expect more from the athletes and the athletes do it, they perform.” CrossFit is a fitness regimen incorporating elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, calisthenics, strongman and a

host of other exercises. Individuals compete in workouts of the day, putting their bodies through varied functional movements across time and modal domains. The 2016 Games was Singh’s fourth and her finish marked a personal best. She competed in the championship in 2011, 2012 and 2013, finishing seventh in 2011 and outside the top 10 in 2012 and 2013. But, the transition to a new age category — she’s 55 this year — along with a strong showing in the qualification process and the benefits of owning a gym, brought her to new heights in 2016. It has left Sean White, her coach, partner and fellow co-owner at Natural Strength CrossFit, wondering if she will compete again next year,

though Singh’s not ready to commit just yet. “I may take a year off, but it’s always in the back of my mind that I enjoy competing, even if it scares the hell out of me,” she said. Competing at the 2017 Games would mean another year of training — her workouts totalled two-and-a-half hours a day, four times a week — and putting herself through the extensive qualification process again. If she puts her mind to it, Singh is confident she can make it back. After all, she hasn’t been hampered by obstacles in the past and only seems to be getting better as the years go by. “Age is a number,” she said. “Your body is an amazing machine.”

NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The day after a statement win over Australia in its Olympic opener, the Canadian women’s soccer team was back to business yesterday. The focus was on rest and recovery in the wake of a wild 2-0 victory over fifthranked Australia but there was also a film session ahead of tomorrow’s game against No. 93 Zimbabwe, somewhat of a mystery package. The Africans lost 6-1 to No. 2 Germany in their first-ever game at the Olympics. “We can’t take them lightly . . . We have to forget about [the Australia win] and focus mentally,” said veteran striker Melissa Tancredi. “For sure, [they’re] unpredictable as a team,” she added. “We know they’re very physical. We know they’re physically fit as well.” The Canadian mood is positive but also realistic, according to Tancredi. “We know we have much to do,” she said. “We have a

long road . . . If you lose that mentality, you lose focus and you lose games.” Tancredi started against Australia, playing part of the pressing game that led to an early Australian turnover and a Janine Beckie goal after an Olympic-record 20 seconds. But she was sacrificed in the 23rd minute when Herdman threw on defender Rebecca Quinn in the wake of Shelina Zadorsky’s red card. Zadorsky will miss the Zimbabwe game due to suspension. Tancredi, who was sidelined briefly after injuring her leg in a pre-Games friendly against China in France, got the start Wednesday on merit according to Herdman. It was also a tactical move. The Australians were expecting to see Sinclair playing a No. 9 role so Herdman looked to mix it up by having Tancredi up front and Sinclair playing a roving role. In setting his team up that way, Herdman dropped Diana Matheson to midfield and Sophie Schmit started on the bench. Schmidt replaced

[against Australia]. One point, three points. And the three points we said would put us right in the driving seat with rest and strategies. “These tournaments are brutal. The two-day turnaround, I don’t think people understand what that means about recovery and resting. So we get a chance with only 18 players now to look at a resting strategy. Let’s not say we’re not through yet, but a point from either one of these games sees us well.” A win over Zimbabwe would likely mean the 10thranked Canadians go into their final pool game next Tuesday in Brasilia against Germany with first place in Group F on the line. The group winner will play the Group G runner-up — likely France or the U.S. — in a Sao Paulo quarter-final. The Group F runner-up faces the second-place team in Group E — probably Sweden or Brazil — in Salvador. The two best third-place finishers from the three pools also advance to the quarterfinals.

Matheson in the 69th minute. “Schmidt will see more game time in the tournament,” said Herdman. “But it gives us that option as well with Schmidt to come in in the second half, and just bring that calm and quality in the midfield.” Tancredi, who is playing her club soccer in Sweden, is enjoying what’s expected to be her international swan song. The 34-year-old from Ancaster, Ont., has 120 caps for Canada, with 25 goals and 20 assists. The powerful forward, who is also a qualified chiropractor, has played in three Olympics and three World Cups. “Less stress, more enjoyment,” she said of taking the field in Brazil. Next up are the Mighty Warriors of Zimbabwe. Herdman sounded a warning about the African team. “Everybody expects people to take three points from them but you just can’t underestimate [them],” he said. “But we’ve put ourselves in the driving seat.

OLYMPIC SUMMER GAMES

Flipping the bird a father-son ritual for Condorellis DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Just to be clear, Canadian swimmer Santo Condorelli isn’t giving you the finger from the start blocks. He’s giving it to his father. An eight-year-old Santo was frustrated racing against, and getting beat by, older swimmers. So his father and coach Joseph Condorelli came up with the idea for the son to flip dad the bird before each race. “[He said] ‘You’ve got to build your confidence yourself and say eff everybody else that you’re racing,” Santo explained. “He said ‘Every time you’re behind the blocks, give me the finger and I’ll give it back to you.”’ It’s a pre-race ritual that has received more attention during Santo’s ascension to Canada’s Olympic swim team. The 21-year-old will race in the freestyle relay Sunday, the 100metre freestyle Tuesday and the 50-metre free next Thursday in Rio. There are multiple online photos of a goggled Santo with arm and middle finger fully extended. He’s had to tone it down — bringing his middle finger closer to his forehead — as he’s landed in hot water for the gesture in the past. “Oh, have I,” Santo said. There was the time racing at junior nationals where Joseph was positioned right behind the television cameras. “I was looking at my father and I gave him the finger . . . directing it right at the camera,” he recalls “I had to write an apology.” Father and son describe their relationship as unorthodox, but tight. “I came from an Italian background, mother and father,” Joseph says. “My father passed away when my son was about two years old so I kind of lost the crutch of how to raise a child. I separated from his mother when he was about

four and a half, five years old.” “Can you imagine a rough New York City greaseball raising a young man who is that sensitive?” Santo was born in Japan, but his mother Tonya is from Kenora, Ont., which Santo identifies as his Canadian hometown. Joseph is American and Santo spent much of his childhood in New York. Joseph felt sport was the best way to keep his son from falling into the temptations of Gotham. “What I did was try to protect my son by keeping him very busy and always pushing him to do things,” the father says. “I was always afraid of a young man with nothing to do. I kept him out of trouble.” Santo finished fourth in the 100 at last year’s world championship in Kazan, Russia, and third in a Rio test event in April. Santo says he went through “a brat” phase in junior high where he didn’t want to swim anymore. “We took three and a half years off,” Joseph recalls. “He played baseball, I took him to wrestling. He got to high school and said ‘You know, I’m getting beat up in wrestling and not winning anything. Baseball, I can hit, but I can’t throw. Let me try high school swimming.’ He got back in the water and was the number one kid on campus again. “I told him ‘You’re really too good at it to stop.”’ Athletes tend to have pre-competition rituals that get them mentally ready to race. Santo’s is unique and he knows the powers that be in his sport don’t love it. He doesn’t want it to turn into a distraction in Rio. “Athletes always have that one thing that gets them going that they need to do,” he said. “That happens to be mine and still is. Seeing everybody’s reaction to it has been interesting. “I’m not trying to piss people off. I just

put it in the middle of my forehead now. My dad is definitely giving it to me and I can see him from a mile away.” Joseph doesn’t intend to be subtle about their hand

communication at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium. “It’s a communication between him and I to calm down and get ready,” Joseph says. “Racing is about being at peace.

“It became a good ritual for both of us. He got a lot of his aggravation out with just a really simple ‘Give it to the world’ rather than keep it internalized. It calms him down on the blocks for sure.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Baseball and softball are returning to the Olympics in 2020, while skateboarding, surfing, karate and sport climbing are joining the games for the first time. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the addition of the sports Wednesday for the Tokyo Games, calling it an “innovative’’ mix of traditional and youthoriented events that will attract Japanese and global fans. The five, including a combined baseballsoftball bid, were put forward for inclusion last year by Tokyo organizers. Under new IOC rules, host cities can propose additional sports for their own games. IOC members voted unanimously to accept the five sports as a package. The approval was for the Tokyo Games only. The new sports will add 18 events and 474 athletes to the program. The Tokyo Games will now feature 33 sports and about 11,000 athletes, compared to the usual T H E

number of 28 sports and 10,500 athletes. While men’s baseball and women’s softball — both highly popular in Japan — will be returning after a 12-year absence, the other sports will be making their Olympic debuts. The IOC called it “the most comprehensive evolution of the Olympic program in modern history.’’ “Taken together, the five sports are an innovative combination of established and emerging, youthfocused events that are popular in Japan and will add to the legacy of the Tokyo Games,’’ IOC President Thomas Bach said. Baseball and softball have been off the Olympic program since the 2008 Beijing Games. The two were rejected in separate bids to return for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, so they combined forces to put forward a single bid for inclusion in Tokyo. Baseball will have a six-team tournament. Women’s softball will also have six teams. The games will be played at a shared venue In Yokohama. Before the vote, I N T E R I O R ’ S

several IOC members questioned whether baseball would have the world’s top players at the games. While pro leagues in Japan and some other countries have agreed to shut down their seasons to send their players to the Olympics, MLB has declined to do so. Franco Carraro, who chairs the IOC’s program commission, said he hopes the international federation can still reach an agreement with MLB, in line with the deals with the NBA and NHL that brought pro basketball and ice hockey players into the Olympics. Skateboarding will have street and park events, and feature 80 athletes — 40 men and 40 women. In climbing, 40 competitors will take part in the disciplines of speed, bouldering and lead (also known as sport). Karate will have 80 athletes competing in men’s and women’s Kumite and Kata events, while surfing will have two shortboard events for 40 competitors. The surfing competition will be held on natural waves at a beach location in Chiba prefecture.

MLB trade-deadline moves spoke volumes NOAH TRISTER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After 18 trades on deadline day, baseball deservesd a chance to take a deep breath. That calm period is over. Teams had until 1 p.m. on Monday to make trades without waivers and it was the busiest deadline day since at least 1995, according to Major League Baseball. In a sense, the deadline marks the unofficial start of each season’s pennant races. From now on, it’s hard for any team to make a major move, so the contenders will have to hope the rosters they have are good enough. Some of the biggest trades were made by teams already in first place, like Texas, Cleveland and San Francisco. But the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, who are trying to come from behind in their divisions, were also active. Now the focus turns to the aftermath — and how all these moves will affect the post-season chase. Here are a few things to watch as the dust settles:

GOING FOR IT

This year’s biggest buyers were the Texas Rangers, who have the American League’s best record and added two of the top prizes on the trade market. The Rangers acquired catcher Jonathan Lucroy from Milwaukee and outfielder Carlos Beltran from the New York Yankees. Texas also got Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress. The Rangers had to send two former first-round draft picks to Milwaukee, but with Houston within striking distance in the AL West, Texas decided to be aggressive. The Astros were 10 games behind Texas on July 29, but the deficit is now 5 1/2 games. Houston had a fairly quiet trade deadline and will now have to try to chase down the revamped Rangers.

LOGJAM

The New York Mets added

Aaron Sanchez, a potential Cy Young Award candidate, was rumoured to be moving to the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen in the aftermath of a trade that brought Francisco Liriano to Canada’s Major League Baseball club. The Jays announced yesterday he will remain in the starting rotation for now.

another power hitter to their lineup when they acquired Jay Bruce from Cincinnati, but now they have four outfielders who can start. With Bruce and Yoenis Cespedes figuring to be in the middle of the lineup, either Curtis Granderson or Michael Conforto could end up as the odd man out. Both bat left-handed.

RIVALS

The Los Angeles Dodgers are two games behind San Francisco in the NL West, but they added left-hander Rich Hill and outfielder Josh Reddick in a deal

with Oakland. The Giants weren’t about to stand pat, acquiring lefthander Matt Moore from Tampa Bay. The Dodgers still have their share of drama hanging over them in the form of Clayton Kershaw’s injury problems and Yasiel Puig’s situation, but Hill and Reddick will have a chance to give them a boost.

SHUFFLING THE STAFF

Aaron Sanchez is 11-1 with a 2.71 ERA for Toronto, but the 24-year-old righty has already surpassed his previous high in

Your Trusted Local News

innings. The Blue Jays might move him to the bullpen, a decision that would not be popular with everyone in Canada. The team may feel it’s the best way to enable him to keep contributing this year. The Blue Jays acquired lefthander Francisco Liriano. He may help the Toronto rotation withstand the loss of Sanchez — but only if he improves on the 5.46 ERA he posted in 21 starts with Pittsburgh this season.

ONE IS ENOUGH?

Cleveland’s attempt to acquire

Now on the GO

Lucroy fell apart when he refused to waive the no-trade provision in his contract, but the Indians did make one major move, adding reliever Andrew Miller in a deal with the Yankees. Will that be enough for them to hold on in the AL Central? Nobody else in the division made any significant additions. After years of being active around the deadline, Detroit didn’t make any trades this time, although the Tigers can look forward to getting Jordan Zimmermann and J.D. Martinez back from injuries.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Adam Pouliot

In Loving Memory Of

June 11, 1990 – July 27, 2016 Adam Pouliot suddenly and tragically passed away on the morning of July 27th, 2016 in Vernon, B.C. He was 26 years old.

Anna Relkov

He was the youngest son of Leo and Melanie Pouliot’s three children.

April 1, 1956 August 5, 2015

Adam embraced life and lived every day to the fullest. He was gentle, caring and had a vibrant, charismatic nature. His wit and charm would light up a room. He had a great sense of humor and liked to tease. He was physically active, enjoying and excelling in many sports. He especially loved golf, skiing and recreational body building.

Marjorie Mae Gardner

In Loving Memory Of

Marjorie Mae Gardner passed away peacefully in Armstrong, BC on July 30, 2016 surrounded by family.

Cam Taylor

On the 5th Anniversary of the day you went away.

Marjorie was born on November 29, 1944 in Quesnel, BC to Grace Towse of McBride, BC and Alfred Gardner

May 23, 1951 - August 5, 2011

of Barkerville, BC.

He loved the outdoors, camping and nature. Adam was great with children and made them feel special and loved. His greatest desire in life was to marry and have a family. Adam was skilled in many trades specializing in iron work and cladding. He had an impeccable work ethic and gave 100% to everything he put himself into. He was a great conversationalist, inquisitive, always challenging the norm in traditional thinking. Adam always made an impact. He was a talented musician, following the path of his oldest brother Marc, playing and composing songs on his guitar.

Although you are gone from our sight. You will never be gone from our hearts. You are missed every day. Wally, Cristina, Tonia

Marjorie is survived by her sons Dean Ross (Lisa) and Darren Ross (Nicole), granddaughter Becky Ross (Robbie), siblings Florence Gardner of Duncan, BC, Bob Gardner (Marlene) of Horsefly, BC and Rod Gardner (Evelyn) of Celista, BC and many nieces and nephews.

Adam joins his brother Marc as they soar on the wings of eagles, playing their music in our hearts and reminding us to live, laugh and love deeply and passionately. Adam is survived by his loving parents Melanie and Leo Pouliot and his brother James Pouliot. Adam is predeceased by his oldest brother Marc Pouliot, his Grandma Nadine Collingridge Hillis, Grandpa Jim Collingridge, Grandma Gisele Pouliot Burnside and Grandpa Jean Pouliot. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Wulf Trotter Memorial Bursary for Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks, www.adaptivesportsatsunpeaks.org. This perpetual bursary will offer students of ASSP opportunities to further develop the same love of the mountain experience as Adam and his family have enjoyed for many years.

Marge is predeceased by her siblings Jack Gardner (Hazel) of Horsefly, BC and Lorna McClennan (Bob) of Kamloops, BC.

I have no choice but to continue this journey with a heavy heart filled with memories of us. Love Bonny

Marjorie travelled to several places around the world and had many wonderful stories about her journeys. Marjorie was always the life of the party and will be sadly missed by all the lives she has touched.

A Celebration of Adam’s Life will be held in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at 3:00 pm with Pastor Dan Sczebel officiating.

There will be a small Memorial at 916 Invermere Crt. on Sunday, August 7, 2016 from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.

Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

Helen Swing

December 7, 1925 - July 28, 2016 Our beloved mother died with her granddaughter Isabel singing sweetly and her daughter Sandy holding her hand. Someone who lived her life with such spirit and such kindness deserved to have it conclude in peace and beauty. Helen was predeceased by her husband Malcolm in April of this year and survived by daughters Anita (Grant) and Sandy (Chris), grandson Emile and granddaughter Isabel. Her memory will also be cherished by siblings Betty, Barbara and Bob as well as many nieces and nephews. She was born as Helen Forbes in Kapuskasing, Ontario, a place, as she told it, of idyllic childhood, where she first showed her sense of adventure, her athletic prowess and her deep sociability. She began her teaching career at Normal School in Sault Ste. Marie, saving the money she made teaching to pay for her years at Queen’s University, where she completed her Bachelor’s degree while winning one trophy after another in every sport she played, most notably tennis and badminton. One of Helen’s ambitions was to travel to all the Commonwealth countries, and she took a good shot at it. Most memorably, she went to teach Phys. Ed. at Woodstock School in Mussoorie, India, where she met Malcolm Swing. He then came to Canada in 1961 where they were married. Both taught for many years at Selkirk High School in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In the 1960’s, daughters Anita and Sandy completed the family. Helen taught gym, coached and latterly was a guidance counselor. She took many young people under her wing, trying to give them opportunities and selfconfidence. We would sometimes come home from school to find a student joining us at the dinner table. In her spare time, Helen gardened, most happily at the cottage at Pebbly Beach on Lake Superior and was always involved with the United Church, for many years teaching the Sunday School class for 3 year olds. She also enjoyed being a camp counselor at Loon Lake in the summer, taking special

delight in rousing sleepy campers for “morning jerks.” One of Helen’s most endearing qualities was her love of fun; she was tireless in getting others to join in with games and songs and taught us that you could talk to anyone, anywhere. She also had a strong sense of duty to family and community, evident in our yearly trips to visit family scattered across Canada and her years volunteering at the Soup Kitchen. Helen trusted and accepted people and they responded in kind. Even though dementia robbed her of so much, including, finally, her power of speech and ability to walk, she retained her mischievous expression and calm, dignified presence to the end. Helen Swing has left an important legacy to many. One cousin noted that she pushed boundaries. Indeed, she was a natural feminist before the term was in use, and we remember with pride her story of convincing school authorities in India that her female gym students couldn’t possibly run in saris and needed to be allowed to wear shorts instead. Most importantly, with her strong sense of ethics and her belief in both herself and others, she taught us how to be strong and compassionate women. Deepest thanks to the many staff members at Kamloops Seniors Village who respected and cherished our mother and to Brenda Thompson, caregiver extraordinaire, who became like another devoted daughter and sister to our family. Rest in peace, Mom. You live on forever in our hearts and in our actions Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Laurie Forster (nee Hicks) With great sadness we announce the passing of Laurie Forster (62 years young) on July 27, 2016, after a courageous battle with cancer. Laurie is survived by her loving husband Malcolm, daughter Nicole (Kelly) Watson and their children Amber, Logan and Brett, son Stephen (Mika) Forster and their daughter Hazel, mother Edith Hicks, (predeceased by her father Bill Hicks), sister Betty (Russ) Styles, brother Terry (Ann) Hicks, many other family and friends. Laurie met Malcolm in her early years and at the age of 17 married her true love on May 28, 1971. Their daughter Nicole was born in 1979 before they moved to Kamloops in 1980 and shortly after they welcomed their son Stephen in 1982. The four of them travelled all over the province enjoying camping and the outdoors. In recent years, Laurie and Malcolm followed their passion of exploring and travelled all over the world, spending time in Asia, Africa, Europe, South and North America. Laurie, an avid Canucks fan, was loyal and loving, and will be dearly missed. A service will be held at Cottonwood Manor, 730 Cottonwood Ave., Kamloops, BC on August 13, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Please, no flowers.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Do they cremate the casket along with the body? A. Yes. It’s illegal (and unethical and unsafe for the cremationist) otherwise. In many cases the casket or cremation container completely disappears during cremation. If there is residue, the cremation staff remove it.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

8TH ANNUAL

By Jessica Wallace, KTW The structure of funding from Canada Summer Jobs changed this year, increasing the Rivertown Players to four members from three, but shortening the amount of weeks they each work. Basically, it’s the same amount of money, distributed differently. While bookings and community engagement were once the same person’s responsibility, the additional member means splitting the duties. Another production was also added to the rotation because each member writes one. Sinclair was delighted another student could gain summer experience, but hopes to extend the program through August again next PRESENTED BY: year. Another change to the Players included partnering with Project X Theatre.

CHARITY GOLF Summer theatre no child’s play for TRU students TOURNAMENT

This year’s Rivertown Players take their grassy stage, warming up a crowd of youngsters with sing-a-long songs during a recent performance at Prince Charles Park. The free summer theatre continues this weekend at Ribfest and runs until Aug. 13.

JESSICA WALLACE

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

he 50 or so kids joining sing-along-songs at McDonald Park don’t know it, but for the four young actors leading at the front, this is their training grounds. With just a couple of weeks left performing free children’s theatre in the park, the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) students who make up this summer’s Rivertown Players have learned a lot. There’s technical aspects, like writing scripts and creating backdrops, and simply learning what it’s like to do

something they love every day as a full-time job. They’ve also adjusted to performing for kids. “A lot of the time, I am like, ‘Wow. We are four grown adults acting like the most immature children right now, but that’s the point,’” said Rivertown Player Krystine Lucas, a 23-year-old TRU theatre student. “It’s OK to just let yourself kind of drop that wall and reach that level because the kids love it. When they see you’re grown up and you’re acting all silly or acting like a child, they just think it’s hysterical.” Some differences listed off by Lucas and the oth-

The Whiskey Jerks will be performing at Zack’s tomorrow night. ARVID KUHNLE PHOTO

Jerks’ gypsy punk coming to Zacks As she describes it, The Whiskey Jerks came about because Gillian Snider got tired of drinking alone. To be fair, the metaphor is more reflective of her decision to give up the solo gig and put together a band. Soon, the

Saskatchewan performer was joined by Anna Bekolay and her violin, James Diakuw on clarinet, Nevin Buehlet plucking upright bass, Peter Abonyi playing guitar and Kevin Buzinski on percussion. Snider’s contribution to the equipment

list is the accordion. Their music? It’s own unique blend of blues, jazz, rock, gypsy-punk and klezmer with a hint of country blues as well. Their songs tell stories, use clever lyrics and invoke a true prairie sound.

The Jerks’ debut recording Neat hit No. 3 on the local CFBX charts last month. The group is travelling to promote it and will make a stop in Kamloops tomorrow at Zack’s Coffees, Teas and Gifts, 377 Victoria St. The show is at 8 p.m.

The Kamloops Art Gallery is hosting painting workshops through August. In Painting 101, local artist and educator Elizabeth Pattie teaches the basics of acrylic painting. Every Saturday through Aug. 20 is a different lesson. Tomorrow’s class will feature a guided gallery tour followed by sketching activities. Repetition, rhythm and abstract principles will be explored. On Aug. 13, plein-air landscapes will be explored, while portraits will wrap up the workshop on Aug. 20. No experience is necessary and all materials are provided. Early registration is encouraged by calling the gallery at 250-3772400 or going online to kag.bc.ca.

‘Real buzz right now’ for festival DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

eter North tried to get Steve Earle to come to last year’s Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. It didn’t work out. The annual event’s artistic director now says it’s a good thing because this year, he’s booked not only the musician who wrote Copperhead Road and Guitar Town, but Earle’s new musical partner, Shawn Colvin. Two Grammy Award winners, long-time singer-songwriters and friends for decades, they are doing only two shows on their current tour in Canada. “I guess it’s nice it did fall apart, in hindsight,” North said of the final act on the main stage of the festival’s opening night on Aug. 19. With just two weeks until the gates open at the community’s fairgrounds, ticket sales are the best they’ve been since 2010, North said. It’s an indication the annual musicfest has “turned the corner” financially since he took over the top position early in 2014. “It’s very encouraging,” North said. “There’s a real buzz right now.” While signing Colvin and Earle was a coup, North is just as pleased to have on the headliners roster New Brunswick’s Matt

Andersen — whose new album debuted in the Top 5 on the Soundscan charts, alongside Adele, Justin Bieber, Macklemore & Lewis and 1975 — and Melissa McClellan and Luke Doucet, better known as Whitehorse. North saw Andersen in February and said the Jubilee Auditorium was packed. “You could hardly move,” he said. The Maritimer has won four Maple Blues Awards including male vocalist of the year for 2014 and 2015. He takes the main stage at 9 p.m. on Aug. 21. Whitehorse is the headliner on Aug. 20. The pair, each of whom had lengthy solo careers before bringing their act together in 2013, share a fascination with the U.S. South but also frequently return to a theme of the urban/ suburban divide. “These guys have had pretty cool careers,” North said of the headliners before turning his attention to some of the other performers

headed to Salmon Arm for the weekend. In particular, he’s delighted to have Jerry Lawson and Eric Bibb. Lawson, who was the main voice of the a cappella group The Persuasions, is considered one of the greatest soul, gospel and blues singers of his generation while Bibb is equally renowned as an acoustic blues artist and one of the most prolific recording artists in the roots music world. It doesn’t hurt that Bibb’s dad was Leon, himself a renowned singer, his uncle John Lewis started the Modern Jazz Quartet and his godfather was actor-singer Paul Robeson. Bibb has always wanted to work with Lawson, North said, and Lawson is a huge Bibb fan so the two will be paired for the first time for a Saturday workshop, along with Tim Williams, Roy Forbes, Chris Nordqvist, Roger Brant of the Steve Kozak Band and

Khari McClellan of the Sojourners. Bibb will lead the Call and Response workshop. A longtime fan of the rock band Little Feat, North is also happy to have its former members Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett doing their own acoustic shows and joining in with The New Orleans Suspects for a workshop. “I’ve been telling people the best promotion you can get is to have people leaving here happy and talking to other people about us,” North said. “That happened last year.” Tickets are on sale now. They can be bought online at rootsandblues.ca. Workshops at festival Workshops are a key ingredient of every Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. This year’s series includes: • Blue Jukebox Heaven, a Friday night session at the Barn Stage fronted by David Gogo, along

ack in the early days of cellphones in the 2000s, almost all 2G phones from Nokia, Blackberry and others had the ability to receive local FM signals for free, through a built-in FM chip and antenna. Today, most cellphones don’t come with that function, but a campaign launched in Canada may make it a reality. Most modern cellphones actually have an FM chip in them, but it’s turned off by the manufacturer. A campaign called Free Radio on My Phone is encouraging the public to ask cellphone service providers and manufacturers to turn that chip on. National Campus and Community Radio Association’s executive director Barry Rooke and the creators of the app NextRadio launched the campaign

Radio

EDIT in Canada after a successful run in the U.S. The NextRadio creators say almost all Android phones already have FM chips in them, but most haven’t been activated. A report from the U.S. National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) says iPhones also have this chip, but it isn’t turned on. Rooke explains manufacturers aren’t eager to turn the chip on, due to streaming

audio apps, which generate more money and data usage for service providers. Once the chip is turned on, cellphone users can use headphones to listen to local FM radio for free with no Internet connection, the cord of the headphones acting as an antenna. Through the use of the NextRadio app, listening to radio through the chip would use 75 per cent less battery and 20 times less data than a streaming radio app and, in some cases, no

battery or data. The use of an FM chip would also be useful during an emergency situation, such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack, when cellphone towers might fail and access to battery power might be difficult. In addition, FM radio would provide local information in emergency situations instantaneously without relying on an Internet connection. The United States campaign was backed by National Public Radio, American Public Media and NAB and has already convinced four major cellphone manufacturers to turn on the FM chip. This was also backed by a video released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which explained how critical local radio is during a crisis.

Rooke also said that, after talking with a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) representative, turning on the chip would be something manufacturers would have to do and the CRTC couldn’t force manufacturers to turn on the chip. The website freeradionmyphone.ca is handling the Canadian end of the campaign and has information on how to contact various cellphone makers to ask them to turn on the FM chip. The NextRadio app has been available in the Google Play store in Canada since July 1. Steve Marlow is the program co-ordinator at CXBX, an independent radio station in Kamloops.

ith fellow nature lovers, we head off to learn about Hawaii’s volcanoes and witness Kilauea’s fiery caldera at twilight. Investigations begin in north Kona, where Ka’ahumanu highway slices through vast lava flows. “Generally, people flee from volcanic eruptions. Here, we pack picnics and go to watch. And that’s what we’re doing today.” says Steve, our guide. “Do you see Hualalai to the east? It erupted in 1801, producing these lava fields of jagged a’a and smooth pahoehoe. Hawaii’s oldest volcano, Kohala lies northward. “We’re now travelling to the hotspot that created these and Hawaii’s three other shieldshaped volcanoes. Millions of years ago, this hotspot began creating an archipelago of islands inching northward atop the Pacific Plate.” Patches of golden Egyptian fountain grass dot this black terrain. In Wailea, highland grasses flourish, creating green pastures.

Saddle Road takes us up through a desolate valley between two huge dormant volcanoes. Steely observatories sparkle atop snowcapped Mauna Kea. Mauna Loa, we discover, represents the earth’s greatest volcanic mass. On the windward side, abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil nurture varieties of roadside ferns, cane orchids and bushy ohi’as, polymorphous plants shape-shifting to fit varied environments. Handing out flashlights at Hilo’s Kaumana Caves Park, Steve smiles, “You’ll soon see that part of Hawaii’s charm lies underground.” A steep stairway leads down to a fern-bordered cave entrance. Scaling rock piles and ducking under crevices, we step gingerly on a rippled old lava flow between smooth black walls. “This cave’s part of a 40-kilometer lava tube formed during Mauna Loa’s 1881 eruption,” Steve notes. “Desperate islanders asked Princess Ruth for help. Arriving from Honolulu, she sat near the approaching lava, praying for fire goddess Pele to spare Hilo. A few days later, the flow stopped.” Atop Kilauea, we discover

UNESCO declared Volcanoes National Park a natural heritage site partly due to its being a religious setting. At the Jaggar Museum, we focus terrace telescopes on its steamy caldera. Inside Jaggar, Hawaii’s fire goddess dominates two large paintings. Exhibits display Pele’s hair, long golden strands of volcanic fiberglass, and Pele’s tears, droplets of volcanic glass. A posted legend describes how demigod Kamapua’a turned himself into ama’u ferns and surrounded Pele’s home to be close to her. The crater’s descriptive name: Halema’uma’u means house (hale) of the fern (ama’u). Observations from early volcano visitors like Mark Twain decorate walls. Pictures and maps identify Kilauea’s eruptions, continuous since 1983. One photo shows the new rift across Crater Rim Drive, so large it could swallow a bus. Driving onward, we see steam rising from vents, giant ferns thriving in its rainforest and several small craters. Minutes later, there’s a short hike to a volcanic rift. I ask about the green ferns dotting the black landscape.

“That one’s the legendary ama’u. Its red frond is the scar where Pele burned Kamapua’a,” Steve says. “Those others are Kupukupu. Kupu means wise, so Kupukupu, are doubly wise in finding sheltered niches.” Ambling over crunchy black cinders past lava-encrusted trees, our group beholds the rift. “Don’t get too close to the edge,” our leader warns. “That porous basalt breaks easily.” A fellow traveller tests its weight, effortlessly lifting a big chunk over his head. Noting another form of Ohi’a, prompts another legend, “Pele fancied a handsome Hawaiian called Ohi’a. He turned her down, so she changed him into a tree. “Later showing godly compassion toward his truelove Lehua, Pele transformed her into a beautiful red blossom and attached her to Mr. Ohi’a to be forever together.” On the road again, Steve tells another legend. “Kama-pua’a and Pele were initially attracted to one another. yet they squabbled. “Pele tried to burn her demigod admirer, so Kama-pua’a turned himself into a pig and trotted away.

“Pele then became lava, attacking Kama-pua’a. He turned into ama’u ferns, hiding in crevasses. “Ultimately, he morphed into a pigfish, diving into the Pacific and swimming away. “Descending switchbacks along the new Chain of Craters Road, Pele’s lava can be seen zigzagging down a steep escarpment, leaving untouched islands of emerald ama’us.” Parking along the ocean cliffs, we walk across a rocky ledge to view a series of sea arches created by the constantly pounding waves. At nearby picnic tables, delicious box suppers are served with supernatural ambience, including a vivid sunset. Scrumptious chocolate volcanoes make apt desserts. Back at the Jaggar, we gaze upon Hale’mau’mau, now spectacularly illuminated by glowing red magma. In the warm evening air, constant crack-crack-crackling can be heard. Is Pele at her stove stirring poi? Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate. For more, go online to travelwriterstales.com.
