Arrest follows hours-long standoff MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A standoff between a distraught man and Kamloops Mounties ended peacefully just before 3 p.m. yesterday, about 10 hours after it began.

The incident began early Thursday morning when a man made a threat to staff after receiving his bill, telling them he had a bomb and would blow up the restaurant.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the servers alerted other employees and customers of the threat, all of whom left the building, leaving the man alone in the restaurant at Columbia Street and Sixth Avenue.

Shelkie said when officers arrived at the restaurant, the man closed all of the blinds on the windows.

“At one point, the male did exit one of the restaurant doors,” Shelkie said. “He was brandishing a knife. When confronted with officers, the suspect went back into the restaurant.”

As a precautionary measure, Shelkie said, natural gas to the restaurant has been shut off.

Dozens of officers in general duty and emergency response surrounded Denny’s as police negotiators attempt to contact the man inside.

Columbia Street was closed from Fifth to Seventh avenues and Sixth Avenue was shut down between Nicola and Dominion streets.

At about noon, police shot a hole in the back door of Denny’s and pulled it off, attaching a cable to the door and a truck.

The truck pulled the door off while police smashed open a window on the door at the front entrance.

The man, who could be heard screaming, did not comply with hours-long orders that he surrender.

At about 1:30 p.m., police deployed multiple rounds of tear gas into the building.

About 20 people at the neighbouring Sandman Inn & Suites were sheltered in a second-floor conference centre while the standoff unfolded.

Some guests were from as far away as Scotland, Holland and Edmonton At just before 3 p.m., officers were seen rushing through the restaurant’s back door, from which they emerged with the suspect, who appeared to be naked.

He was hustled into the back of an RCMP cruiser and whisked away.

Afterwards, police swept the restaurant for explosive devices.

JULY 26–AUGUST 12, 2018 The City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) have partnered on a pilot project to trial the 4th Ave Pedestrian Plaza design concept.

The project brings 4th Avenue to life by creating a pedestrianized environment with seating areas, planters, street trees, and street games.

The 4th Ave Pedestrian Plaza is an animated, lively public space with musicians and performers at key times throughout the trial period. The performance line-up is available online at Kamloops.ca/downtownplan.

This project was conceived after the City received input during launch events and workshops for the Downtown Plan. Residents and stakeholders provided initial feedback on the design concepts at a community open house during Design Downtown week in mid-June and have continued to share comments and ideas on the City’s engagement website, LetsTalk.Kamloops.ca/ downtownplan.

From Zimbabwe, Kamloops man describes political violence DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who initiated a run for the presidency of Zimbabwe, but later turned his sights on the house of assembly, is in the African country’s capital of Harare, where at least six people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in post-election protests.

Richard Kanyangu, a psychiatric nurse at Royal Inland Hospital and a pastor at the House of Destiny church, told KTW via email that people in Harare have been killed by government soldiers, including some who were going about their day-to-day business.

“I drove through town around 8 p.m. and the town was desolate,” Kanyangu said.

“All you could see were small pockets of cars, but no pedestrians.

There is an assumed curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. There were groups of policemen and soldiers going around with baton sticks and guns.

They did not bother me at all.”

Zimbabwe’s ruling party and the main opposition group on Thursday both declared they won the presidential election ahead of the imminent announcement of the result, reflecting a bitter rivalry that was exacerbated by deadly violence in the capital.

Six people were killed when police and army fired live rounds to disperse a protest on Wednesday by opposition supporters in Harare, police reported. In addition, 14 were injured and 18 people were arrested at the offices of the main opposition party, said police.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ruling

ZANU-PF party have accused the MDC Alliance opposition, led by Nelson Chamisa of inciting the deadly violence. Chamisa has said Monday’s polls were rigged to give Mnangagwa and his ZANU-PF the victory.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission was to begin announcing results of the presidential election on Thursday afternoon, though by law it has five days from the vote on Monday to deliver the final tally and it has sometimes given conflicting statements about when it is releasing information.

International election observers urged the commission to reveal the presidential results as soon as possible, saying delays will increase speculation about vote-rigging.

Kanyangu said he decided in 2016 to enter the political race in Zimbabwe, his home country.

“I was mainly driven by the unjustifiable suffering and deaths of my people,” he told KTW. “This was worsened by the fact that most of the diseases killing people are curable or at least treatable. So, with that in mind, I started this journey officially in 2016, ending when I registered our political outfit, the Unity Party Zimbabwe.”

Four months ago, Kanyangu said he decided to run for a seat in the house of assembly, rather than have his name on the presidential ballot, with the goal of building his name from the grassroots level.

He did not win a seat in Monday’s election.

“On closer assessment, we realized that most people did not want a ZANU-PF government and so they appeared to have voted for the main opposition party [MDC Alliance],” Kanyangu said.

“The way forward for me now is to stay the course and continue to press for the change and support my community as we continue to press towards the 2023 election.”

Kanyangu said he is hearing there are divisions among the leadership of ZANU-PF, with some wanting to stay and denounce the official results and some wanting to allow democracy to dictate the fate of the country.

“Unfortunately, there were people for the opposition party who were in town protesting peacefully and demanding the results to be announced,” he said. “It appears the people became rowdy when the police showed up. Then the soldiers were deployed and apparently shot and killed three people.

“I spoke at the time that the coup was done [the November 2017 military coup that ousted dictator Robert Mugabe] that it was an opportunity for the international community to press for reforms and respect of life,” Kanyangu said.

“The precedence that was set in November will forever haunt this country. If soldiers are used for partisan issues, then we have a huge problem.”

The military deployment was the first time that soldiers had appeared in the streets of the capital since Mugabe’s resignation last November after the military takeover. At that time, thousands of jubilant residents welcomed the soldiers as liberators.

Some Harare residents, standing amid the shattered windows of the violence, expressed frustration and exhaustion.

“We are a peaceful nation,’’ said 29-year-old Sifas Gavanga. “We don’t deserve the death we saw.’’

MORTGAGE MATTERS Math doesn’t lie.

Math is absolute. Math can help make sense of things when emotions cloud our vision. I will use math to help you reach your dreams. Banks offer a rate, a payment and a mortgage term, but let me tell you there is so much more...

I will add:

Value - I know the market. I know who has which mortgage product. You will not have to ask for a better rate like at a bank, you just get it.

Honesty - I have seen many situations and can predict scenarios that can be tricky, lead to trouble or require a second look.

Friendship - I hope you will feel cared for and truly helped during the mortage process and beyond.

Connection - Leverage my experience and extensive community connections to meet your needs.

I will delete: Time wasting - When it just won’t work with a lender, we target a lender who will say yes Bad structuring - If there are holes in the plan, let’s discuss a strategy to address it.

Poor planning - Dates, timelines, future goals, etc., all matter. Let’s discuss dates, times and goals to avoid choices we regret later.

Ingorance - Ask me anything. I don’t mind Your choices matter. I will help you know the difference between a good mortgage and a great mortgage for today, tomorrow and the future. I have viewed literally 100s of mortgages from many different lenders, so I can see the value and the concerns.

Racist tags nothing new, says head of graffiti task force JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Racist graffiti is not new to Kamloops, according to the executive director of the city’s graffiti task force.

“We have a lot of racist graffiti of any culture,” Ronnie Bouvier told the city’s community safety committee meeting on Monday.

Earlier this summer, a sign was discovered in Lac Du Bois Provincial Park, just past Batchelor Heights, covered in racial slurs, including “F— Indians” and “white is right.”

The Secwepemc territory sign is an advisory to mushroom harvesters on their way to the Elephant Hill wildfire area.

It was erected near the Lac Du Bois protected area by multiple First

Nations, including the Skeetchestn, Whispering Pines and Bonaparte bands, which are responsible for issuing mushroom picking permits.

The image went viral online and sparked an investigation by Kamloops RCMP. Racist slogans have been found on similar signs in other parts of the South Thompson, while racial slurs were also found plastered on NorKam secondary.

“I don’t think there’s one nationality we haven’t seen derogatory terms,” Bouvier said, noting the task force usually gets to the graffiti before it receives attention.

She urged people to not snap photos and share images online, noting it feeds into the tagger’s intentions.

“Don’t take that photo and put it on Facebook,” she said.

Have you seen these hoops?

Kamloops RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding some missing dance hoops.

On Wednesday, three dance hoops were lost somewhere between the Tk’emlups Powwow Grounds and the area of Tranquille Road and Eighth Street..

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the owner needs them for use in the annual Kamloopa Powwow, which begins this Friday.

The missing hoops are identical to the hoop shown in the attached photograph.

If you find the missing dance hoops, contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Mounties plan to meet with family JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops RCMP investigators are planning to meet with Ryan Shtuka’s family regarding recent work into the search for the 19-year-old, who went missing in Sun Peaks earlier this year.

“We’ve recently had our dive team out that were doing some examination along the creeks and that sort of thing,” Supt. Syd Lecky said.

“That was the last update.”

Shtuka went missing on Feb. 17, last seen leaving a house party on Burfield Drive at about 2 a.m. to walk a short distance home.

Lecky called his disappearance a “puzzle.”

“We don’t know where he is,” Lecky said. “The snow melted and we had hoped to find him and we haven’t.

That makes it a bit of a puzzle.”

Lecky said he has children around Shtuka’s age and empathizes with the family.

“This is a parent’s worst nightmare,” he said.

Shtuka arrived in Sun Peaks on Dec. 1, 2017, to return to his home in Beaumont, Alta., to work as an apprentice construction worker for his dad in the spring.

His family, volunteers and the entire community have rallied together, working since his disappearance to

find him, thus far to no avail.

Shtuka’s parents, Heather and Scott, returned to Alberta at the end of June to attend their eldest daughter’s high school graduation.

They planned to return to Sun Peaks this week to resume their search and plan to return periodically in August, September and October.

“We’ll come back until the snow falls and then once the snow melts, we’ll come back again each month until we find him or we’ve been given a new direction as to where we can find him,” Heather told KTW last month.

She said the family is encouraging those who have volunteered to search to continue doing so in their absence.

She said the outpouring of support from the community has been indescribable.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie has told KTW police have no evidence to suggest Shtuka met with foul play when he went missing.

Heather said she understood after the first few days without any sign of her son that the chances of finding him alive were slim.

“There’s no leads and that has always been the frustrating part — that there’s no evidence to suggest he left Sun Peaks at all,” she said.

“There’s no tips, no gossip, nothing that would lead us into a different direction.”

POLICE NEED TO TAKE EXTREME CAUTION

I

t is interesting how one man with a knife and an offhand threat can tie up a busy part of the city for a full working day.

Thursday’s standoff at the Denny’s restaurant at Columbia Street and Sixth Avenue downtown saw a man hold dozens of heavily armed police at bay for hours.

The incident began in the early-morning hours when a man received his bill in the restaurant, then uttered a threat to the server. It is believed the man threatened to blow up the eatery.

Thankfully, staff and customers made it out safely and the man was left alone inside to pace, pull down the blinds and ignore Mounties’ pleas to surrender.

What ensued was a long standoff, with roads closed, traffic detoured and onlookers straining to see what was, essentially, a waiting game.

Judging from the intermittent screaming coming from the restaurant, it appeared as though the man was in mental distress.

Based on his original threat, Mounties were taken extra precaution in widening the area that was cordoned off.

Even if the threat was an empty one, emergency personnel must assume the worst, which is why bomb threats called in to schools, or businesses, or the Tournament Capital Centre are taken seriously — even if we all know the calls are hoaxes.

The disruption to daily life is a pain. It is frustrating and annoying.

But trumping any such irritation is the safety of those in the vicinity of the incident and, yes, the safety of the man engaged in the standoff.

The goal of any police negotiator is to talk the person into surrendering peacefully, to bring about an end to a tense situation with as little harm to all involved as possible.

If that means the commute on a particular day gets detoured, so be it.

Just before 3 p.m. on Thursday, the Mounties’ patient plan worked, with the distraught man being taken out of Denny’s and appearing to be physically unharmed.

Looking for answers

I

t’s a simple question nobody seems to be able to answer: Did a work site pose a health risk to the public?

It’s been months since residents sent complaints to this newspaper about asbestos at a downtown construction site.

The riverfront property at 1286 River St. was purchased by the City of Kamloops earlier this year to expand parkland. It hired KRM Contracting to demolish two buildings on the site.

More asbestos was discovered than initially expected, according to the contractor.

While it is not uncommon to find asbestos in older buildings — the hazardous material once used to insulate buildings was partially banned in 1979 — the way in which it is handled is important.

Disturbing asbestos can release it into the air and exposure can lead to lung disease and cancer.

On April 27, WorkSafe BC shut down the River Street work site for more than two weeks due to “high risk of serious injury, serious illness or death to a worker at this workplace.”

An inspection report obtained

by KTW cited unsafe removal of asbestos-containing exterior stucco, including debris scattered on the ground. It also noted workers were not following decontamination procedures.

A sign was posted at the work site, warning of asbestos and danger. In all capital letters, it read “CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD” noting respirators and protective clothing were required.

It was enough to turn heads

JESSICA WALLACE Newsroom

VIEWS

from passersby, folks on the Rivers Trail, players at ball diamonds across the street and gardeners who tend to a community garden right next to the property.

Letters of concern sent to this newspaper posed the following questions: “There is debris scattered all over and I would like to know what is going on here and why is a stop work order posted on the site?”

“Why does the City of Kamloops allow an asbestos waste dump to be kept 20 feet from our community garden and next to our parks?”

“Who is responsible for the safety of our community?”

Simple questions about whether the situation posed safety risks to the general public sent KTW in a circle.

First, KTW contacted the City of Kamloops, which owns the land. City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said that while the city owns the property, it does not have the expertise in asbestos

abatement to answer such questions. He likened the situation to an average homeowner, who would not likely have the expertise to make that call, either.

Instead, he directed KTW to WorkSafeBC, which was contacted. That organization, however, provided no more clarity. It could apparently only speak for worker safety, based on its legislated mandate.

“All potential public health issues are communicated to and through public health and the Ministry of Health,” Trish Knight Chernecki, senior manager of government and media relations, said in an email.

The next message went to the ministry. Again, the question of the work site’s risk to the general public was posed.

“I would recommend people contact the building department at the city with concerns about asbestos in a public space or WorkSafe BC,” Interior Health communications consultant Haley Allen said in an email.

From what I can gather, prolonged exposure — the kind demolition crews could experience if they aren’t careful — is the greatest risk related to asbestos.

But I’m no expert.

And I’m no closer to finding one, either, while stuck in an infinite loop of bureaucracy pointing every which direction.

Can anyone tell the gardeners, joggers, dog walkers, ball players, soccer players and neighbours where they can get answers to their questions? jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

GREYHOUND’S DEPARTURE OPENS A DOOR Editor: After years of service cuts and declining service quality, Greyhound’s corporate owners (UK based FirstGroup plc) are pulling the plug on bus service in all of Western Canada as of Oct. 31.

This is a huge threat to communities across the province. But it is also great opportunity to establish a much better publicly owned and operated highway bus network.

Like BC Ferries, Via Rail and public transit in urban areas, good highway bus service will require significant public funding.

Like urban public transit, highway bus service needs to operate as a unified network, with shared ticketing. A bunch of companies independently operating a few routes each is a recipe for failure.

The provincial government has already established a public highway bus service as part of BC Transit. BC Bus North started long-distance bus service in June. But BC Bus only has funding for 12 months. In the media release announcing BC Bus, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Claire Trevena, said, “Once the service is up and running, we’re going to . . . find a long-term solution.”

Trevena needs to step up and find a solution for the rest of the province.

The federal government funds Via Rail, which already sells tickets for connecting highway bus

services to Victoria and other communities.

A possible solution for inter-provincial highway bus routes is an expansion of Via’s mandate and funding to include interprovincial Via Bus service.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shown a willingness to spend billions to nationalize and expand an oil pipeline. Low carbon transportation for people should instead be his funding priority.

Regardless of what name is on the buses, the federal government must step up with funding.

Good highway bus service is essential for safety from violent crime.

The recently established B.C. Transit and BC Bus North service between communities on the Highway of Tears is largely about providing safe transportation for Indigenous women and girls.

But the Highway of Tears isn’t the only place in B.C. where rural women have to choose between isolation and the danger of hitchhiking.

Highway crashes are also a crucial issue.

Parents in rural areas all know the risks for young drivers travelling long distances on snowy highways. And many in our growing population of seniors don’t feel capable of long winter driving trips to medical appointments.

Leaving more of the highway driving to professionals will save lives.

We also need to overcome our over-dependence on private automobiles to fulfil Canada’s

Paris climate commitments.

The federal-provincial climate framework commits B.C. and Canada to shift transportation spending away from urban freeway expansion and other projects that increase carbon pollution, which is an obvious way to fund a public highway bus service.

The B.C. NDP won’t be able to meet its promise to reduce greenhouse gas pollution from transportation by 30 per cent in only 12 years without much better highway bus service.

Would you choose to save money and reduce carbon pollution by living without a car if that meant you couldn’t get to your hometown to visit your family?

Good highway bus service is also essential for the economic health of rural B.C. and the province as a whole. If you need a car to get there, tourism is unlikely to thrive now that so many younger people don’t own cars. And if you need a car to get to and from your town, both seniors and younger people are less likely to want to live there.

A public bus service, employing existing Greyhound workers and hiring many more, is the way forward.

AN AMERICAN IN KAMLOOPS EMBRACES MAPLE LEAF Editor: I’m an American who has been visiting Kamloops for the summer.

On Wednesday, I attended my first hockey game — Canada vs. the U.S. I would have normally cheered for my countrymen, but these are not normal times and I found myself deeply wanting the Canadians to win.

When Canada lost 7-5, I was sur-

prised at the depth of my disappointment; after all, it is only game. How can this feeling be explained?

When I arrived in Kamloops two months ago, it had just come out that my government was taking children away from their mothers with no intention of giving them back.

Many of these kids were kept in cages and windowless buildings.

I have also watched in these past two months as my president berated our neighbors and allies, while embracing our adversaries.

We are in deep trouble as a nation and as a people. When I return to California next week to resume work, I wonder if it will still feel like home.

Kamloops has given me time to recuperate, while also reminding me

what true community feels like.

This Saturday, when Canada and the U.S. go at it once more at Sandman Centre, look for me in the bleachers, I’m the balding, bearded American guy in the Blazers jersey — and I’ll be stridently cheering for the Canadians.

Tobiano residents will pay more taxes as fire service, hall is added JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tobiano residents will see, on average, a $380 bump in annual property taxes for fire services and a new fire hall.

Those numbers were estimated by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District based on an average-assessed $382,000 property on one parcel in 2018.

Residents of the golf course community 15 minutes northwest of Kamloops recently voted via petition to have its on-call fire department managed by the regional district.

The regional district cut funding earlier this

year to volunteer fire departments in the region due to liability issues surrounding minimum training and equipment standards set out by the province.

The TNRD estimates the cost for services would bump taxes by about $40 annually for that average $382,000-property owner.

Where things get expensive, however, is debt repayment shared among 268 parcels in Tobiano to build a new fire hall, as required to be included under the umbrella of the TNRD. That comes in the way of a parcel tax and is estimated to cost each property owner $340

Costs of fire services in Tobiano for a $382,000 property on one parcel: Previous fire service: $1,020 New service: $1,060 Fire hall debt repayment: $340 Total increase: $380

more per year based on 2018 property numbers.

The total cost of the firehall is estimated at $1 million and it will take 20 years to pay down, with construction slated to begin in 2019.

Greg Gordon promoted the service among residents and recently returned to the fire department after leaving due to access issues.

“We don’t have a legal

right to enter private property,” he said. “The fire department actually has no authority out here.”

He said that will change under the TNRD, taking risk off Tobiano residents in the event a lawsuit is filed. Fifty-six per cent of the community (represented via parcels) submitted petitions to join the TNRD. Their assessed property values totalled $64.4 million, or 62 per cent of the total value. Asked about impacts of joining the TNRD on residents’ wallets, Gordon didn’t think it would be a problem.

“It is a fairly wealthy community,” he said.

Tobiano’s development office manager,

Brittany Friesen, noted that while taxes will increase, the addition of a firehall will improve the community’s fire rating, likely resulting in cheaper home insurance rates. Friesen said tools will also be upgraded under the TNRD. “It’s quite a positive to have it,” she said.

About a dozen people work on-call to protect Tobiano from fires, including nearly 150 residential homes, the golf course, restaurant, presentation centre and marina.

Other communities joining the TNRD’s firerotection services as of Jan. 1 include McLure, Loon Lake, South Green Lake and Little Fort.

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C. Wildfire Service crews are on the scene at a fire near Monte Lake they say is showing aggressive behaviour.

The fire was estimated at 22 hectares late Wednesday and was being fought with 16 ground personnel and six pieces of heavy equipment.

The wildfire service said no structures were being threatened by the fire, which is located south of Monte Lake and to the southwest of Westwold.

Sharron Wilcox-Oakes, who lives nearby and can see the fire’s smoke from her property, said she can see five aircraft taking action against the fire.

Wilcox-Oakes is no stranger to nearby fires. Although her farm has never been evacuated, she took on evacuees and livestock during last year’s wildfires near Monte Lake.

“We don’t unpack our go-bags anymore. If I want to wear some of my nice jewelry, I go dig it out of the go-bag,” she said.

This time last year, the Martin Mountain wildfire, which was located northeast of Monte Lake, had grown to 150 hectares and resulted in a number of evacuation orders and alerts in the area.

Fire information officer Nicole Bonnett said the wildfire service is dealing with a number of new fire starts as a

result of thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning that moved through the Kamloops area on Wednesday.

Those included a grass fire at Seven O Ranches in Rayleigh and small fire on the north side of Mount Dufferin, east of the Domtar smoke stack and on the back side of Kenna Cartwright Park.

Both were doused by firefighters.

The storm rolled through Kamloops in two waves between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Lightning storms swept across British Columbia on Tuesday, sparking 132 small fires A special air quality statement remains in effect for Kamloops and the South Thompson due to smoke from wildfires.

Opposition to veterans plates expansion DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Archie Steacy wasn’t happy when he and some of his friends arrived for a meeting with the province’s attorney general on Monday.

The retired lieutenant-colonel who spent almost four decades of his life in military service had been trying to arrange the meeting for a year.

As a member of the team that negotiated in 2004 the creation of honorary licence plates for veterans, Steacy wanted to discuss with the provincial government the program that has seen about 57,000 such plates issued.

This week, Steacy and Sharel Fraser were ready to tell Attorney General David Eby, whose ministry oversees the program, about their opposition to a proposal that would extend eligibility for veterans plates to retired RCMP officers.

Both B.C. Veterans Commemorative Association (BCVCA) representatives stressed that they are not opposed to the idea of recognizing police officers, but would rather see all first responders — including paramedics and firefighters — get their

own unique licence plate, separate from the veterans’ plate.

Fraser, whose dad was a D-Day veteran, said the BCVCA wants the government to adhere to the federal definition of a veteran — someone who has performed military service. The Royal Canadian Legion, however, expanded its definition in past years to include retired RCMP officers and it now wants them to have the option to obtain a veterans plate.

In Kamloops, those plates, as with disability-parking permits, come with free parking at city meters and lots with the requirement the car be moved every three hours.

Dave Whittier, executive director of the B.C./Yukon Command of the Legion, told Global News

this week the definition is changing and RCMP members are now eligible for benefits under the federal Veteran Affairs (VA) program.

The VA website lists programs for RCMP, including disability pensions, health-care benefits and survivor benefits. It notes, however, it has an administrative role only, that programs and services are ultimately the responsibility of the national force itself.

The provincial government has started a public consultation to determine if there is public agreement with the Legion’s request. In other provinces with special plates for veterans — Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland/Labrador and Nova Scotia — the Legion has also lobbied to include retired officers.

Steacy said a couple of weeks

ago, he received a letter in the mail with just his address, no return address or other indicator, with a copy of the letter the Legion sent to the provincial government on the matter last year.

A meeting was set for July 31 between the BCVCA and Eby’s ministry, but on July 23, Steacy said, he was given a copy of the consultation survey, which had gone into effect.

During Monday’s meeting, Steacy said, he went through each point in the Legion’s letter of request to point out wrong information. For example, the first point in the Legion letter, Steacy said, asserted the BCVCA was created in 2004.

It began in 1993 when DutchAmericans wanted to send tulip bulbs to be planted at military locations on the Mainland, Steacy said, and the commemorative society was created to oversee that project.

Fraser said the BCVCA offered to use its experience in creating the veterans plates to help implement a first responders version and expressed its dismay the Legion had indicated it would remove its permission for the veterans plates to use the Legion poppy on them, something Fraser said seemed like a threat.

“But there are other poppy images we could use,” he said.

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, with fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs Rich Coleman — who was part of the original negotiations for the veterans plates — and Shirley Bond have weighed in on the issue.

Stone said it’s wrong to merge the RCMP with veterans because it dilutes the importance placed on having a military-based licence plate.

“This rises above partisan politics,” Stone said. “It’s a small, but very symbolic gesture.”

Steacy is hoping people respond to the survey — although he argued it is a biased document open to responses from people outside of B.C. The survey can be found by going online to gov.bc.ca and searching “veterans licence plates survey.”

Steacy said people who do not use a computer can visit their local MLA’s office and ask that their responses be recorded.

Stone’s office is downtown at 446 Victoria St. His phone number is 250-374-2880. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar’s office is at 618B Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore. His phone number is 250-554-5413.

Two killed in plane crash JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mounties have confirmed the third passenger in a float plane crash yesterday near Lillooet is dead.

The 29-year-old man from Aldergrove went missing after a small plane crashed on Tyaughton Lake in Gold Bridge, which is about 100 kilometres west of Lillooet.

The BC RCMP’s underwater recovery team found the man, who is believed to have been submerged in the capsized plane.

Another passenger, a 20-year-old Prince George resident, was found dead at the scene yesterday.

The pilot, a 20-year-old Williams Lake man, was transported by air ambulance to Royal Inland Hospital with serious,

but non-life-threatening injuries.

“This man managed to make it out of the wreckage on his own, but was pulled from the water by nearby witnesses in the area,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Annie Linteau said in a press release.

Lillooet Mounties were notified at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday of a small plane that crashed on the lake. Nearby boaters tried to rescue the plane occupants. The Coast Guard was also dispatched.

The investigation into the cause of the crash has been turned over to the Transportation Safety Board and BC Coroners Service.

A staff member with Tyax Adventures confirmed the plane involved did not belong to the tour company.

“It was not our plane,” the woman told KTW. A call to neighouring Tyax Lodge and Heli Skiing led to a no-comment response.

Interior Health uses this retrofitted RV as a supervised drug-use site in Kamloops.

22 overdose deaths in Kamloops STATS ARE THROUGH JUNE; CITY RECORDED 38 DEATHS IN 2017 Four illicit-drug overdose deaths were recorded in Kamloops in June, bringing the total for the first six months of the year to 22.

In all of 2017, the city recorded 38 such deaths.

The report from the BC Coroners Service says provincially, there were 105 deaths in June, a decrease of 15 per cent from June 2017 and an eight per cent decrease from May 2018.

In the first six months of the year, 742 people have died in B.C., compared to 816 through June of last year.

There were 1,449 suspected overdose deaths in B.C. last year.

Interior Health has the second-highest overdose death rate based on population, with 34 deaths for every 100,000 people. Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA) tops that list with 36 deaths for every 100,000 people. VCHA is also the only health authority to see an increase in the number of drug overdose deaths in June compared May. Drugs detected in the deaths continue to be mostly fentanyl and cocaine.

A second report the service issued, focusing on fentanyldetected overdose deaths, looked at the first six months of 35

Sephora to open in Aberdeen Mall on Aug. 10 Sephora, a popular makeup retailer, will officially open in Aberdeen Mall on Friday, Aug. 10.

The American chain will be located in a 3,400-square-foot space previously occupied by Le Château on the top floor of the mall.

Aberdeen Mall general manager Sandra Neufeld previously told KTW

BRIEFS bringing the brand into the mall was a “big win.

“They are a very highly demanded tenant,” she said. “We have had a lot of requests for a Sephora.

“It will really work well with what

our customers want.”

Le Château closed in January after many years in the mall.

The company has faced financial problems in recent years.

BLOCK WATCH GROWS The city has a growing number of eyes and ears on the ground in neighbourhoods seeking out suspicious activity.

Kamloops RCMP police support services supervisor Kevin Beaton

said the city’s 30th Block Watch group was recently established, a number that has grown from zero in recent years.

“That program continues to flourish,” Beaton said.

Block Watch works in collaboration with RCMP. The program brings together residents and encourages them to be vigilant while out and about in their neighbourhoods. Suspicious activities are then

reported to police.

Local Block Watch groups are also active on social media.

TRACKING TRAFFIC Kamloops Mounties have made improvements in the way they track and report traffic violations.

The traffic services management information tool allows the RCMP to input information about accidents and crashes in the region,

allowing it to identify where to focus resources.

“As the population grows, there’s opportunity to engage other things to help us focus our resources,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky said. “We’re trying to become more statistically driven and focused with everything.”

Lecky said the traffic unit in the past has relied on anecdotal information, which can result in problem areas

Pumped about pedestrian plaza JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than a week after launching the Fourth Avenue plaza pilot project, the City of Kamloops says it could become a permanent fixture — with positive feedback received so far on the street and through an online survey.

“They like it because there’s no real public gathering space downtown,” City of Kamloops community planning manager Jason Locke said.

Two portions of Fourth Avenue, located between Victoria Street and alleys facing Seymour and Lansdowne streets, have been closed since July 25 to vehicular traffic, temporarily transformed until Aug. 12 into a pedestrian-focused area with seating, games, live music and greenery.

Locke said businesses along Fourth Avenue are in support of the idea and have received shirts that read, “Proud supporter of Fourth Avenue pilot project.”

“They’ve bought in,” he said.

KTW spoke with businesses about the project and feedback was overly positive, but included recommendations if the plaza were to become a permanent fixture in the city’s core.

Karin’s Fashions sales associate Diane Gilbert said the proximity of the plaza directly in front of the clothing store on Fourth Avenue has given the store more exposure. She said it beats the sandwich board they use to try to draw people from Victoria Street.

“More exposure,” Gilbert said. “Because there’s more people that will walk down

here and sit and they’ve been playing the games.”

Locke said one negative comment brought up that word that likely brings shivers down the spines of Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association staffers: parking.

Ten spaces are impacted, Locke said, including stalls in front of Karin’s Fashions.

Gilbert said those spaces are often used by staff, noting the new parking lot on the former Kamloops Daily News property at Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street offsets stalls lost.

“That parking lot’s great,” she said. “It’s central.”

Zack’s Coffee Teas and Gifts manager Andrew Blackwell estimated sales at the outlet at the southwest corner of Victoria and Fourth have jumped 20 per cent since the pedestrian plaza opened on July 26.

“People who come into our shop because we’re so close to it have enjoyed going out and using the patio stuff out there,” he said.

“Overall, it’s been really positive.”

Freshslice Pizza opened on the corner opposite of Zack’s — on the northeast corner of Victoria and Fourth — on July 28, three days after the pedestrian plaza opened. Freshslice staff did not know the city would be adding an outdoor patio dining to the 10 seats inside the restaurant.

“This is awesome for us,” manager Erika Kelner said. “It couldn’t be any better.”

While to-go-style restaurants are benefitting, Tumbleweeds Lounge in the Plaza Hotel hasn’t seen a bump in customers.

Some European guests, however, have been going outside to smoke in the plaza,

despite signage advising against. Hotel staff said they continue sending tourists to Riverside Park.

While in favour of the idea, it would be better suited on Victoria Street, they noted, where guests could people-watch and enjoy a greater variety of restaurants throughout the evening, similar to the pedestrian mall on Stephen Avenue in Calgary.

Locke, however, said Victoria Street functions well as is, with wide sidewalks and parking to bring people downtown. He said the street does not have enough retail and entertainment density to support shutting off vehicular traffic.

“It wouldn’t be as lively,” he said. “It wouldn’t be as vibrant.”

Fourth Avenue was chosen for the heritage buildings on either side of the street, including the Plaza Hotel.

Nearly everyone who spoke to KTW unanimously recommended more trees and greenery in a permanent plaza. Locke said taller trees would be part of the plan, adding shade during hot days that may have impacted visitors during recent afternoons, when the mercury climbed into the upper 30s.

Other differences would include street pavers — resembling cobblestones — inset into the road, permanent furniture and, potentially, some sort of water fixture, such as a fountain. Businesses would be encouraged to spill patios onto the plaza and find creative ways to use the space during winter months. Locke suggested outdoor heaters, Christmas trees and craft fairs.

“Lots of winter cities have plaza space,” he said. “Montreal, New York and Winnipeg.

“They use the plaza space creatively.”

temperatures, torrential downpours and Biblical floods.

Yes, it’s climate change.

It’s quite appropriate to be frightened because the summers will be much worse 10 years from now and much worse again 10 years after that.

Prompt and drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions now might stop the summers of the 2040s from being even worse, but they wouldn’t do much to lessen the mounting misery of the next 20 years.

Those emissions are mostly in the atmosphere already.

Besides, we’re not going to see prompt and drastic cuts in greenhouse emissions any time soon. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better — if it ever does get better.

And so it is probably time to ask the obvious question: where will it all end?

The worst case isn’t the only case, or even the most likely case, but there may be some value in understanding how bad it could get if we miss all the exits on the highway to hell.

And here I’m going to quote from an interview I did 10 years ago with Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA’s Langley (Va.) Research Center.

It’s all still true today.

He had been talking about the “feedbacks”

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH (melting permafrost, warming oceans, huge releases of methane and carbon dioxide).

Because they cannot yet be fully incorporated into the computer models of climate, they lead to systematic underestimates of future warming.

And then he cut to the chase.

“If you take all these feedbacks into account, the estimates are that by 2100, instead of two to six degrees Celsius rise [in average global temperature], it looks like a possibility of six to 12 degrees.

“These temperature changes would alter the ocean circulation patterns and end up with much of the oceans going anoxic — very low oxygen content — which would then promote bacteria that produce hydrogen sulphates.

“These would rise and take out the ozone layer and also make it somewhat difficult to breathe.

This is by 2100.”

What Bushnell was referring to was “Canfield oceans,” now strongly

suspected of being the cause of four out of the big five mass extinctions.

Everybody knows about the huge asteroid that struck the Gulf of Mexico 65-million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

Fewer people know there is no trace of an asteroid strike associated with the other four great dyings 444-million, 360-million, 251-million and 200-million years ago.

So what happened then?

One common factor was that the planet was unusually hot at the time, but the real clue was that the deep oceans were anoxic.

There was no oxygen down there and, therefore, no life that used oxygen.

When the oceans are very warm, the overturning circulation (like the Gulf Stream) that carries vast amounts of oxygenrich surface water down into the depths simply stops and the oceans stratify into an oxygenated surface layer and an anoxic deeper layer.

But there was still life down there — sulphate bacteria that normally hide in the silt, away from the oxygen that would destroy them.

In an anoxic ocean, they come out and multiply. Eventually, if the conditions are right, they rise all the way to the surface and kill all the oxygenbased life in the sea.

Not only that, but

hydrogen sulphide gas, a waste product of their metabolism, rises into the atmosphere, destroys the ozone layer and drifts over the land, where it also wipes out most life.

This has happened not once, but at least four times in the past.

In theory, by warming the planet, we would be creating the right conditions for another goround, but in practice it’s not all that likely.

There hasn’t been a Canfield event in the past 200-million years and, when those earlier mass extinctions happened, the planet was a good deal hotter to begin with.

Even if we avoid that fate, we may be heading for a mass die-back, including of human beings.

Food is the key issue: as warming depresses productivity and turns whole regions into desert, mass starvation is imaginable, although actual extinction seems improbable.

It’s also still possible that we will react fast enough to stop well short of mass death.

When dealing with the future, you can only deal in probabilities — and even those are very slippery.

The situation is already quite grim.

Bad news, of course, but when you find yourself in a high-stakes game, you should know what the stakes are. gwynnedyer.com

OTTAWA — Bowing to concerns about international competitiveness, the Trudeau government is scaling back carbon pricing requirements for some of the country’s heaviest energy users and signalling that more easing could come before the plan takes effect in 2019.

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued new requirements that will increase the emissions threshold at which polluters will have to pay a carbon price. The system will only affect industries in provinces that don’t have their own federally approved carbon pricing system.

All provinces and territories have to submit their carbon pricing plans by September.

If they don’t meet federal requirements, consumers and

industries in those provinces will be subject to part or all of the federal system.

That includes a minimum carbon price of $20 per tonne of emissions for most fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propane and natural gas. Larger industrial emitters whose annual emissions exceed 50,000 tonnes will be exempted from paying the carbon price on their fuel inputs and instead pay it on what they emit over a certain amount.

In January, the federal government suggested that threshold would be set at 70 per cent of the average emissions intensity for their industry.

The carbon price would apply to any emissions exceeding the threshold, and companies that emit below the threshold will

receive credits from the government they can trade to companies that exceed the limit, to create a market incentive for companies to find a way to reduce their greenhouse gas footprint.

Emissions intensity is the amount of greenhouse gases produced per unit of production.

After a two-phase review that looked at historic emissions and trade exposure for several industries, the federal government has decided to raise that threshold.

Cement, iron, lime and nitrogen fertilizer producers will have their threshold raised from 70 per cent to 90 per cent. The other affected industries, such as mining, potash, pulp and paper, and oil refineries, will have the threshold increased from 70 per cent to 80 per cent.

FOUNDING THE

FAMILY STONE Band behind hits like Everyday People, Dance to the Music and I Want to Take You Higher to play Roots and Blues DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

B

eing a bit of an outcast in his peer group had a profound effect on Jerry Martini — and gave him a place in music history.

First, some context. His friends liked to listen to white musicians and Martini’s preference tended toward the black jazz players, people like King Curtis or the bands he heard while his own band played on a TV show in San Francisco that, despite the politics of the day, would book both white and black bands.

It was there he met Sylvester Stewart — better known as Sly Stone.

“He was the genius and I was the funky white boy sax player,” Martini said of the fateful decision of asking his friend if he wanted to start a band with him.

Sly and the Family Stone was born and, although Sly is no longer performing, he gave his longtime friend permission to keep the

music going as The Family Stone.

There’s still a link back to the man Martini calls “an unusual person,” with Sly’s daughter Phunne Stone, the female lead singer.

The band is headlining the main stage on Aug. 18 at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. They’ll also join The Boom Booms, David Babcock, Rev. Sekou and Colleen Brown in a workshop of classic soul and R&B earlier that day.

They played a lot of cover songs at first, Martini said, but Sly was also writing songs. At the age of 19, he had his first major hit with a song he co-wrote for Bobby Freeman — C’mon and Swim — and used the money to buy a house for his family.

“He was born with it,” Martini said of Sly’s talent. “All geniuses are born geniuses. He had a god-given power.”

Martini was no musical slouch, either. He started at the age of five with a ukulele he borrowed from neighbours. He’d play it in the neighbourhood for quarters.

MIKE S. WARTELL PHOTO Jerry Martini, third from left, said he was a “funky white boy sax player” when he asked Sly Stone if he wanted to start a band together.

By the age of 10, he had added the accordion but his mother insisted he take up the sax, too. Martini said as a young girl, his mother had a crush on a saxophonist and that inspired her determination for her son.

First, though, he learned the clarinet but, by the time he was 16, he had joined a musicians union and was making a bit of a living with his own talents.

The clarinet made an unexpected appearance in the band’s first single, Dance to the Music. Martini

said they were recording in New York, it was snowing at the time, he had to walk to the studio and, rather than take the bigger sax in its case, he grabbed his clarinet.

While they were rehearsing the song, he played a few notes on the clarinet “and Sly walked by and heard me and said ‘Get into the studio.’ So when you listen to it, you can hear it has a major hook — that’s my clarinet.”

That $110 clarinet he bought in 1958 is also the last, and long, note in another of the band’s hits,

RADIO EDIT:

Let Me Take You Higher.

“That song wasn’t about drugs,” Martini said. “Sly and his family were very religious. It’s a spiritual song. But the politicians back then, they said it was about drugs. They didn’t know they were hurting the band doing that.”

The band is heading to Europe this week, a trip it takes every couple of years. Martini said at the age of 74, he still loves to tour.

“I love what I’m doing,” he said.

“I’m gonna bop till I drop. … But I was smart, too. I married a nurse.”

arts&entertainment Travel agent turned travel author tells all kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

creaming and sickness have played unexpected roles in the life of Jungle Jan. She’s not as well-known by that moniker now because it’s been some time since Jan Petrar had her Jungle Travel agency in Kamloops.

First the screaming, done silently in her head as she rode up front next to the pilot in a Boeing 737 one night. It’s a big plane, it was pretty much empty, having dropped off all its passengers and, as Petrar wrote in her first book, Travel, Turbulence and Technology: An Insider Memoir, the pilot had to do a nosedive approach to compensate for the size and lack of a full load of passenger weight.

“All I could see was the land below fast approaching and all I could fee was the sensation that we were plummeting. And then, at what seemed the last possible moment, they straightened the plane and we landed like a feather,” she wrote.

She was screaming in her head, Petrar said — but it also fuelled an interest in the technological side of the travel business.

The sickness side came later, after Petrar had spent years in the travel business. Sitting at home

recovering, she created a bucket list that led to her second book, Around the World in 111 Days.

She’ll be talking about both on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 1 p.m. at Chapters Bookstore, 1395 Hillside Dr. in Aberdeen Village.

Boredom and happenstance led to her long career in the travel business, she said. Earlier in her career, she was “issuing licence plates in a small town in Saskatchewan, trying desperately not to cry out of sheer boredom.”

One day, the mail brought with it something from an insurance company advocating adding travel to similar companies.

Petrar shared the information with her boss and a travel agency was created alongside the licence plate distribution.

When a new job called her husband to Kamloops, Petrar came along and opened Jungle Travel, immersing herself in her industry to the point where she became president of the B.C. and Yukon chapter of the Alliance of Canadian Travel Associations.

That led to several stories included in the first book, reminiscences of the time Air Canada was trying to take over Canadian Airlines International and the chaos it caused, but also of how advanced her industry was in using technology for bookings — and the role she played in it.

While the first is more an academic book, Petrar’s almost 300 pages on her trip around the world speak to her attitude toward travel itself through unique stories of her experiences.

She said she felt “the world doesn’t need another book telling them what to do in Hong Kong in a day,” so she used her own vision of what she calls a travelist to inform the book’s structure and content.

A travelist, she said, is someone who likes to be safe, doesn’t mind staying in hotels, but who has an attitude toward travel “where their brain stays connected” and they seek out adventures.

For her, that meant not spending a lot of time in the dozens of places she visited, but moving through them, taking in all she could and moving on.

She did it all on cruises, Petrar said, where her adventurous nature and curiosity led to things others might not think about while on a ship.

“How do they tie the ropes?” she said she asked about at one point. “And how do they organize the food service?”

It also led to some scary moments when one of the ships she was aboard was passing through waters known for piracy.

For Petrar, despite the anxi-

Jan Petrar made some friends on the Falkland Islands en route to Antarctica during her travels in 2016.

ety that created, she marvelled at how she watched one deck’s open railing draped in razor wire as a deterrent and how convoys of military ships came to escort them.

“I was glad to see we have friends,” she said of the escorts.

Petrar said on her return

home, it took her a long time to process what she had experienced in those 111 days.

“Whew, what did I just see?” she said she felt.

And she’s up for talking about just that when she takes her place at the bookstore on Aug. 11.

Tools can help you listen in on shortwave radio

T

he idea of using computers to make receiving international radio signals easier has been around since the 1970s. It was only in the ‘90s when governments and military forces began using the technology in force, and only in the last few years that the technology has become available and affordable for the general population.

Software-defined radios, or SDRs, combine the utility of analog shortwave radio and the precision of modern computing. An analog radio receiver can be teamed with a computer via a sound card and analog-to-digital coupler to make international radio signals — which are sometimes plagued with noise, interference and static — cleaner and easier to hear.

Shortwave radio is an efficient way to get radio signals from around the world. It’s relatively cheap and AM radio travels long distances very well as a shortwave signal. It’s used a great deal on the high seas, transmitting weather signals and directional beacons, along with encoded information in various formats. It’s also used in poorer and remote countries as a cheap and easy way to spread news and information to citizens.

AM signals, however, also tend to degrade when sent over very long distances, making them hard to hear or decode when received. A digital system, which can be used to lock on and clean up a signal, will help make shortwave signals easier to hear.

STEVE MARLOW

RADIO EDIT

In the hobby of shortwave listening (SWL), it’s often challenging to listen to shortwave signals over

long distances. This part of the hobby is called DXing. Because shortwave signals are analog, it becomes difficult to listen to weak signals because of atmospheric conditions and distance. SDR software helps make these stations easier to listen to using digital filters, noise dampeners and signal detectors.

SWL can be an expensive hobby.

The higher-end radios alone can cost several thousand dollars, and analog technology for filters and antennas several hundred dollars more each. Putting up an antenna can take up a lot of space as well, with only people owning property able to mount them.

Some of the software for SDRs is open source and free to download

and the technology helps cut down the cost of this interesting hobby and make it more accessible to everyone.

Experiencing media from a faroff country, meant for those who live in that country, can offer valuable insights into how that place thinks and feels. The experience is even more satisfying than social media, since radio from the region is unfiltered. Understanding how we feel about each other through international radio makes the world smaller, and easier to understand.

LOS ANGELES — Chris Hardwick’s career is getting back on track after a review of sexual assault allegations made by a former girlfriend.

NBC said that Hardwick will serve as a guest host next Tuesday on America’s Got Talent and will return as host for season three of The Wall game show. Production on The Wall is set to begin in the fall.

WELCOME TO THE HolMES IS WHERE match for him, he looked somewhat disappointed.

I had a refreshing talk with a gentleman who admitted when he first started doing my matchmaking that he was excited at the opportunity to meet a younger woman.

What he found out, though, was this younger woman could never take off travelling or be available when he wanted because she had kids, a job and other commitments that didn’t quite align with his retired lifestyle.

I don’t believe in requesting ages for matchmaking, unless you are looking to have kids, as that becomes a bit more specific. What is more important than age is how active, healthy and fit someone is. The women I deal with in their 60s could run circles around the men I know in their 60s. I have a woman in her mid-60s who would leave most 40- and 50-year-old men gasping for breath climbing up a mountain.

Guys should not forget the facts. Statistics don’t lie.

Women outlive men. There are many reasons to back this up. I am sure some of the guys reading this are grumbling at me right now. I am not saying there are no active older men out there. There are — take Bruce Butcher, for example. If you don’t know his story, go online to

Julianne Moore is nine years older than her husband of many years, Katie Couric is six years older, Halle Berry is nine years older and Robin Wright Penn has 14 years on her hubby.

Geena Davis, Demi Moore, Kate Hudson and Tina Turner are all older than their spouses. Hugh Jackman’s wife is 12 years older than him and they have been married for 21 years. I am one year older than my husband, so when I am 65, he will be 64. Yet the other day, when I suggested to a 64-year-old man that I had a 65-year-old woman who would be a fabulous

Yvette Nicole Brown had been named interim host during the review.

I have set up men who are 10 years older than women and vice versa. The point of matchmaking is to find someone who is a perfect fit for you. I have men and women who are elite athletes. Obviously, I am not sending those people to someone who lies around eating junk food and watching Netflix. It’s about physical attraction, common interests and, of course, chemistry. It doesn’t matter who is five years older What matters is that you both dig each other.

Maybe you can help me match these active ladies with some active men.

Do you know any single, active, happy, healthy men in their 60s, 70s or 80s? Let me know and I will put your name in a draw for two ninehole passes to the Mount Paul Golf Course. Alternatively, if you are between 25 and 40, tired of swiping and ready to meet your life partner, I can help with that, too.

Question: What do whisky, cheddar cheese, jeans, balsamic vinegar, cast iron skillets, pickles and wine have in common?

Answer: They all get better with age.

There are many things that age well and, the longer you have them, the move valuable they become. Your house, for instance. Your car, on the other hand, depreciates the day you buy it.

Summer is a time of many high school reunions and, for those who graduated 30, 40 or 50 years ago, it’s quite interesting to meet people you haven’t been in contact with since high school to see how different they look.

It’s no secret that to best prepare for your senior years, you need to avoid, sun, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle.

Of course, there are the lucky ones who are just born with great genes and never show their age.

I have come across some men recently who have mentioned they think they need a younger woman for the next chapter of their life.

I try to gently remind men and women that age is just a number and what’s more important is being equally healthy and well. If men and women can enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle and go biking, hiking, skiing or kayaking together, what difference

Toronto film fest Canadian lineup has titles by Denys Arcand, Jennifer Baichwal VICTORIA AHEARN

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Contemporary anxieties and Indigenous issues are among the themes in the Canadian lineup for this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which includes works by directors Denys Arcand and Jennifer Baichwal.

A total of 19 Canadian titles were announced on Wednesday, including Arcand’s The Fall of the American Empire, which has already screened in French in the Oscar winner’s home province of Quebec.

Alexandre Landry stars as a lonely man who finds two bags filled with money after witnessing a deadly armed robbery.

“I think it’s one of his more pointed political films in quite some time,’’ senior programmer Steve Gravestock said in an interview before Wednesday’s press conference announcing the lineup.

“In a weird way, even though it looks at all sorts of corruption, it’s also quite hopeful.’’

Baichwal explores environmental issues with Anthropocene, the final title in a trilogy with producer Nicholas de Pencier and photographer Edward Burtynsky after Manufactured Landscapes and Watermark.

“It’s quite stunning to look at, but also I think, in some ways, this is quite painful to watch because it is very much about extinction, what we’re doing to animals,’’ said Gravestock, who worked on the lineup with Danis Goulet, the TIFF Canadian features programmer.

Other docs exploring a feeling of unease include Astra Taylor’s What is Democracy?

Starting in Greece, it looks at the history of democracy and the dangers facing it.

Sharkwater Extinction is the final work by the late filmmaker and conservationist Rob Stewart.

Barry Avrich’s Prosecuting Evil: The

Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz is about the United States’ chief prosecutor during the Nuremberg trials.

Meanwhile, Ron Mann looks at gentrification in the documentary Carmine Street Guitars, about a Greenwich Village shop that makes custom guitars out of material from historic sites and torn-down buildings.

The lineup also has world premieres

of three films that showcase Indigenous talent, including Gwaai Edenshaw and Helen Haig-Brown’s Edge of the Knife. It’s billed as the first feature-length film made in Haida, which is classified by UNESCO as an endangered language.

Meanwhile, renowned Métis actor Tantoo Cardinal stars in Darlene Naponse’s Falls Around Her. And Anne with an

E executive producer Miranda de Pencier makes her feature directorial debut with The Grizzlies, a creative collaboration between herself and Inuit producers Alethea ArnaquqBaril and Stacey Aglok MacDonald.

The lineup also has the sci-fi drama Clara

by Akash Sherman, starring Patrick J. Adams of Suits fame as a depressed astrono-

mer who gets a new outlook on life after meeting a woman.

Emile Hirsch stars in the sci-fi thriller Freaks

by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, playing a father who locks his daughter in a dilapidated house, warning of her of dangers outside.

Supernatural tales are found in The Great Darkened Days by Maxime Giroux, Fausto

by Andrea Bussmann, and The Stone Speakers

by Igor Drljaca.

Stories featuring teens and young adults include Keith Behrman’s Giant Little Ones, Thom Fitzgerald’s Splinters, Firecrackers

by Jasmin Mozaffari, and Sebastien Pilote’s The Fireflies Are Gone.

TIFF says 40 per cent of the Canadian film slate this year is directed by women.

Previously announced Canadian features include Giant

Little Ones as well as Kim Nguyen’s The Hummingbird Project, Patricia Rozema’s Mouthpiece, and Don McKellar’s Through Black Spruce.

“There are a lot of films that we have this year that don’t shy away from difficulties that people are facing — and even in some cases, some tragic circumstances _ but really look at people’s resiliency,’’ Gravestock said.

Both performers will face-off in some categories at the televised awards show on Aug. 26.

Mendes and Drake are in the running for artist of the year, where they’re competing with the likes of

A number of changes were introduced by organizers of the MMVAs this year,

The shift gave them a prime opportunity to plunge into the perennial debate over which popular track should be crowned the song of the summer.

North Dakota: an under-appreciated gem HANS TAMMEMAGI travelwriterstales.com

A

pproaching Minot, North Dakota, by air, the landscape looks like a large, flat quilt of green rectangles.

I am in this remote corner of the United States to explore the wide open spaces, the big skies, the ruler-straight roads and the cowboy mentality.

Following a roughly rectangular loop around the northwest part of the state, I head south, then west, to my first stop at New Town.

It’s nestled on the shore of Lake Skakawea, which, having been created by damming the Missouri River, appears like a long slithering anaconda of water.

I am excited as this weekend, New Town, on the Fort Berthold Reservation, home to the Mandan, Arikara and Hidatsa Nations, is hosting the Little Shell Powwow.

I meet Jason Morsette, a tribal tourism manager. “We have many attractions,” he says, “but the powwow is central to our tourism strategy.”

That evening, I watch the grand entrance — a mass of dancers wearing colourful traditional regalia of feathers and beads, all hopping to the ferocious beat of singers and drummers. It is like a kaleidoscope in vivid technicolour.

Small children dressed in traditional costumes wander happily in the midst of dance competitions, trying to imitate their elders. Circles of men pound on large drums and sing, creating a throbbing beat for the dances.

Powwow philosophy is becoming clear: The elaborate outfits are made by the dancers themselves or by their close relatives. Nothing is store-bought.

And everybody participates.

HANS TAMMEMAGI PHOTO Roads are wide open and ruler-straight throughout North Dakota. They provide lots of interesting sights along the way: shaggy buffalo, grazing beside the highway and amazing natural landscapes, such as hoodoos, ridges and buttes. It’s a land chock full of history and heritage.

A rodeo is part of the powwow.

At the opening, Morsette, dressed in full native regalia — including an impressive war bonne — sings the national anthem in his native language.

Then the mayhem begins.

The bulls are tough, angry critters and I quietly give thanks that I’m a writer and not a bullrider.

Driving west, the landscape’s flatness is enhanced by slight rolling, like waves on a lake.

Roads are straight and fast and people few.

This part of the state is underlain by oil deposits. Their

vastness and the unquenchable human desire for this liquid energy is evidenced by numerous pumps quietly rotating in fields.

When darkness falls, their flares appear as fairy lights scattered in the vast landscape.

The next morning, after overnighting in Watford City, I drive to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Entering from the southernmost access point, I’m surprised to see an enormous shaggy buffalo grazing beside the road.

Furtively, I sneak a photo.

The road winds through a

maze of hoodoos, knobs, ridges and buttes. What a transformation from the prairie.

Buffalo share the land with antelope, deer and prairie dogs.

Yellow asters line the road. Best of all, it is not crowded and the sun sparkles.

Sitting in the River Bend Overlook shelter — built during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps — I gaze down at the Little Missouri River and wonder how a gangling, young Theodore Roosevelt was influenced by this unusual landscape.

National Historic Site near Stanton.

An earthen lodge covered in grass and wildflowers and filled with artifacts shows how the Hidatsa lived in times past.

The lodge provided shelter during the bitter northern plains winters.

Following straight roads, I enter Bismarck, the state capital.

At a stoplight, a rough HellsAngels type sits astride his chopper — a cigarette dangling from his fingers. He wears no helmet. A stars-and-stripes flag flaps from his back fender. He is friendly and lets me snap his photo.

Bismarck has much to offer.

I visit the domed legislative building and spend long hours at the North Dakota Heritage Center and State Museum with its outstanding displays of dinosaurs.

My favourite, however, is the Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park.

Its 400 hectares offer hiking, biking and horseback riding — offering a dramatic look at history, with a museum and rebuilt block houses and remaining cornerstones from the original fort.

I wander through six reconstructed earthen lodges of the On-A-Slant Indian village, where an interpretive program shows how the agricultural natives lived for centuries.

Heading back to the Minot, white wind turbines dot the landscape like tall, elegant swans.

The large blades appear to wink at me, urging me to return soon to this land of powwows, rodeos, hoodoos, straight roads and friendly people.

FAITH

NO LONGER USELESS: A LESSON FROM PHILEMON

T

he “book” of Philemon is the shortest in the

Bible.

It is basically a onepage letter, written by the Apostle Paul to Philemon, a wealthy merchant and host of the house church in the city of Colossae (modern western Turkey).

The reason for Paul’s letter is a plea for forgiveness on behalf of Philemon’s slave, Onesimus.

Onesimus was a runaway. Although the reason is not made specific, the text implies that Onesimus had stolen a substantial amount of money, and probably used

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH some of it to buy passage to Rome.

A likely scenario is that Onesimus was remiss in his duties and was criticized for laziness or shoddy work by Philemon.

Rather than reform his behaviour, he decides to relieve his master of a sum of money and flee to the

big city.

While in Rome, he meets Paul who is imprisoned there.

Onesimus undergoes a conversion experience after his meeting with Paul and becomes extremely useful to him.

Paul uses a play on words to emphasize Onesimus’ new status. Onesimus means “useful” in Greek, but of course he became worse than useless when he stole his master’s money and fled to Rome.

Paul writes, “Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.”

There is an additional play on words in the original Greek. The

that forgiveness is a wonderful idea until he has something to forgive.”

Philemon was wronged by Onesimus and was probably quite angry with him for his dishonesty and theft.

Forgiveness, however, is essential for the restoration of a right relationship between two people.

Failing to forgive, hanging on to resentment, can become an emotional cancer, one I saw a lot of in my former counselling practice.

Advice columnist Ann Landers once wrote, “Resentment is like allowing someone to live rent-free inside your head.”

Forgiveness is not for the other person — it’s for you.

A secondary theme is the role of the spiritual master in relation to a disciple.

Paul writes, “I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do…”

Paul reminds Philemon of his authority as a master (“you owe me your very self”), but instead

he appeals to him to behave in a Christ-like way, voluntarily doing the right thing.

The most important underlying theme of Philemon, however, is the brotherhood of all believers.

Paul writes, “I am sending him…no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother.”

Some think that Paul was implying that Philemon should free Onesimus — perhaps that is so.

It was clear he wished Philemon to treat Onesimus as a brother in the Lord, not a piece of property.

In his separate letter to the believers at Colossae, Paul writes, “Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all….Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Christianity is a faith which erases ethnicity, social distinctions, employment status, etc.

All are equal in Christ and must be treated as brothers and sisters.

It is this kind of teaching that has had tremendous appeal to the downtrodden of the world.

Finally, the book of Philemon is important because it is a reminder that before our own conversion, we were all like Onesimus — useless to our Lord and Master and slaves to sin.

In this sense, Onesimus is a metaphor for us all.

But Christ forgave us everything, and welcomed us as brothers and sisters in the Lord.

But the onus is ours, now that we are “useful,” to share our faith and work tirelessly for the kingdom of God. And that, my friends, is why this little “book” is such an important part of our Bible.

specific Greek word for useless is “achrestos”, which is very close to Christos (Christ).

In other words, previously Onesimus was “without Christ,” but now he is “euchrestos”, i.e. “full of Christ”. This type of word play is common in rabbinic writing, of which Paul was a master.

Under Roman law, a slave owner had complete authority over those he owned.

If he chose a severe discipline, up to and including death, that was within his right. So it is no small matter for Paul to return Onesimus to Philemon.

Unlike the other Pauline epistles, which are letters written to a general audience of believers in a specific church, Philemon is personal, written to one individual.

One wonders why it became part of the canon of scripture, given its uniqueness.

There are several important themes at play in this letter. The most obvious is the theme of forgiveness.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Team Canada head coach Tim Hunter offers instruction at the World Junior Summer Showcase at Sandman Centre on Tuesday. He will have help this week from Hockey Canada video and analytics manager Tyler Dietrich.

HUNTER, DIETRICH SHARE LENS ON HOCKEY VIDEO MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

SN play-byplay man Gord Miller may not utter Tyler Dietrich’s name this

winter.

Hockey Canada’s 34-year-old video and analytics manager from West Vancouver might not receive a medal if the Canadians reach the podium at the World Junior Hockey Championship, which will run from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Vancouver and Victoria.

Watching games live is not even a given. Some arena setups leave Dietrich concealed in a concrete room, his eyes glued to a computer feed showing the action on a short tape delay,

TYLER DIETRICH with roars and groans from the crowd reaching him before pictures do.

The former WHLer’s rewards come in the form of invaluable experience and knowing how much he means to the team — and perhaps nobody understands his value more than Team Canada head coach Tim Hunter.

Neither the name Tim Hunter nor his grizzled countenance will evoke thoughts of a video-coaching pioneer, but the 57-yearold former NHL enforcer has developed a nose for technology and is among those responsible for its solidified place in the game today.

He began handling video duties when he was an assistant coach for the Washington Capitals, a stint that began in 1997, and brought what he learned to the San Jose Sharks, for whom he was an assistant coach from 2002 to 2008.

“That’s what makes it kind of cool working with Tim,” Dietrich said. “It’s unique. Not a lot of currentday head coaches really have that background, but Tim does.

“Not only does he have the background, but he’s

seen the technology evolve over the years. Back then, and not to date Tim or anything, it wasn’t MP4s and high-speed internet and the luxuries we have today.”

Steva, the video-analysis software at Dietrich’s disposal, was not available to Hunter at the turn of the millennium.

“Now it’s streamed over the internet and all these wonderful things,” Hunter said on Wednesday, addressing media on an off-day from World Junior Summer Showcase action in Kamloops. “It’s a lot easier than getting a VHS handed to you and then you have to download it onto a computer, cut it all up and then present it to the team, all in about eight hours.”

Hunter realized the game was changing and wanted to remain ahead of the curb.

“In Washington, we were

the first team to have digital videos on computers,” said Hunter, who led the Moose Jaw Warriors to the best regular-season record in the WHL in 2017-2018. “I brought it to San Jose and taught a bunch of video coaches and now it’s a professional position on every NHL team.”

Dietrich might end up in the NHL, but not necessarily in a video and analytics role.

He followed on-ice playing days in the WHL, B.C. Hockey League and U Sports ranks with a fiveyear head coaching stint in Austria, spending three years in the junior ranks and two years in the pro game with Fehervar.

Hockey Canada’s senior vice-president of hockey operations and national teams, Scott Salmond, became familiar

with Dietrich during his European stint.

Salmond reached out to Dietrich when Misha Donskov, formerly manager of hockey operations and analytics for Hockey Canada, left the position to become the Las Vegas Golden Knights’ director of hockey operations.

“It just came about suddenly,” Dietrich said. “I was coaching and I love coaching. I think that’s kind of where my passion lays and, being over there, I did all of the video work for our team.

“You don’t have as many resources with those clubs as you may be used to in North America, but I got comfortable with it and I was using what I could in terms of video and breaking down our team and the opposition.”

Big man back home — a Q and A with Kelly O been welcoming. I’m looking forward to keeping on growing with Miami.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kelly Olynyk of the Miami Heat returns to his hometown Kamloops each summer to host his annual basketball camp, the Olynyk Klynyk.

The 27-year-old, 7-foot power forward who graduated from South Kamloops secondary held court with media on Wednesday at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Here are a few of the questions he answered:

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk speaks to media in Kamloops on Wednesday.

Can the Canadian basketball team qualify for the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo?

As soon as we found out we weren’t going to Rio [the 2016 Olympics], the goal was Japan the whole time. Everything else along the way is a stepping stone to get there. We want to go and we want to compete. We’re not planning to just get there. We want to compete on that stage. It was heartbreaking not to get to Rio. We had it in our hands and kind of let it slip through.

playing for Canada, such as Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray and Tristan Thompson?

The national team is a different thing. You’re asking someone to do extra work in their field and not get paid. You’re trying to get ready for a big time … whether it’s a contract year or you don’t have a deal or whatever it is, guys are in different situations and I respect everyone’s decisions.

Obviously, you want them all here because they’re great players, but you’ve got to deal with the cards you’re dealt. Hopefully, they come around when the big stage comes on.

How often are you in touch with a few of the guys who aren’t

What are your thoughts on super teams in the NBA?

You’ve got to work harder to beat them. That’s all it is, really.

Are you happy LeBron James has moved to the west?

I mean, yeah, I guess, in some respect, but you’ve got to beat everybody. We didn’t lose to LeBron last year.

What was your first year like in Miami?

Miami is an unbelievable place to live, especially in the winter months, but I always loved Boston. It’s a great city, with great people and great food and the fans are amazing. But Miami is a great opportunity for me. I love the city, love the organization and the fans have

The Heat have a packed frontcourt, with yourself, Hassan Whiteside and Bam Adebayo.

How do you approach the competition?

I bring a little bit of a different skillset and different look than those two guys, but competition is good. That’s what you want on your team.

There is a lot to grow on, a lot to still improve on. I love the way the coaching staff thinks and their trajectory for me and, hopefully, giving me the most opportunity possible to be successful.

The South Kamloops Titans won provincial championships in boys and girls basketball this year. Were you following along?

It’s awesome. You can see the game of basketball growing here and it’s pretty cool to see, especially from where the game was when I was here. I think maybe we inspired some kids to play basketball from an early age.

It’s pretty cool to see that they accomplished that. That’s not an easy thing to do. We couldn’t even accomplish it.

Do you reminisce about high school basketball?

It’s about the relationships and the trips and the fun and practice and jokes. We used to do some crazy stuff.

One time we bought a king crab from a Chinese restaurant and put it in Coach K’s [Del Komarniski] bed in a hotel.

That’s the stuff you remember.

You’re not known to make it rain, but have you made any big purchases lately you can tell us about?

I haven’t. I’m trying to figure out if I should sell my house in Boston. The market is insane.

It’s high, but the markets keep going up. I’m waiting for this crash and then I’m going to buy tonnes of houses.

How much has the camp grown?

It’s our best turnout yet. We had about 40 in Year 1 in the old JP Gym at South Kam and now we have 110 kids. We had to cap it about a month-and-a-half ago. We want to keep the camp personal and spend time getting to know the kids, rather than just running them through the motions.

‘Electric arm’ to make Broncos’ debut Sunday MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fifth-year offensive lineman Derek Walde said the Kamloops Broncos’ rookie starting quarterback has an electric arm.

The 18-year-old pivot, Reid Vankoughnett, will have to crank up the voltage to have any chance of shocking the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna on Sunday at Hillside Stadium.

Kickoff, slated for 4 p.m., will mark the beginning of another B.C. Football Conference campaign for the Broncos, whose only victories last season came against the 0-10 Valley Huskers of Chilliwack.

The 2-8 record in 2017 meant another off-season rife with roster turnover, leaving head coach Brad Yamaoka in a similar position to where he was at this time last season — not quite starting from scratch, but pretty damn close.

An early acid test against the Sun, whom the Broncos have never beaten since joining the league in 2007, will let Yamaoka know exactly where his squad stands.

“It will be very evident, very quickly,” Yamaoka said. “We just want to be in a position in the fourth quarter to win a football game. Our offence has to stay on the field. We can’t give them good field position.”

Offensive-line woes have plagued the

transfer Hudson Baribeau, Connor Brown, Lane Friday, much-improved Andrew Goldenthal, repurposed defensive lineman Rylan Anderson and Kamloops products Jordan Smith and Soren Munson.

Walde knows the importance of providing time for the rookie under centre. He is still finding his voice in the huddle and will gain confidence with every positive play.

“He gets vocal a little bit more every day, as he kind of takes on the leadership role, but he’s been great so far,” Walde said. “He’s got an electric arm. That’s all I know.”

Vankoughnett’s father, Dave, is from Kamloops and had a notable CFL career, spending 11 years on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ offensive line.

Reid helped rejuvenate the Dakota Lancers, bringing them from a 1-6 record in 2016 to the Winnipeg High School Football League AAA championship game in 2017.

His next task is to resuscitate a BCFC franchise.

Timothy Solypa is expected to lead the Broncos’ receiving corps, while Trent Price and Andrew Pocrnic will feature at running back. Dual running back formations will be employed.

Kamloops lost key starters on defence after last season, including a defensive end, two linebackers and two defensive backs.

Matt Morrison, a Westsyde secondary graduate, is among the replacements, a rookie who is confident the defence will hang in there on Sunday.

“We have a lot of young talent. It’s exhilarating,” said Morrison, a defensive lineman. “If everyone works together, I’m sure we’ll be strong.”

Morrison, Vankoughnett and Walde parroted what their head coach has been preaching for Sunday’s game — we need to keep our offence on the field.

Saying it is one thing. Doing it is another.

The rookie QB will be asked to make smart decisions, use his athleticism to move the chains and rely on veteran teammates to make plays, and do all of those things in his junior football debut against a perennial powerhouse.

“Hopefully, he can live up to that expectation, because I know we’ve put a lot on his shoulders,” Yamaoka said.

The season will not be over and nobody will lose faith in Vankoughnett if the Broncos lose on Sunday. That should ease the pressure he feels heading into the game.

“I’m going to try and control the game as best I can and see where it takes me from there,” Vankoughnett said. “It’s going to be a big step, but I’m ready for it and I’m excited.”

If lightning strikes and Kamloops earns a famous victory on the exploits of the Electric Arm, then a city full of football fans may believe the Broncos’ saviour has arrived.

Then he would know what real pressure feels like.

Hunter: Dietrich ‘a real key’ for Team Canada From A25

The move to Hockey Canada two years ago has brought Dietrich across the world and allowed him to rub shoulders with some of hockey’s brightest minds, including Mike Babcock, Joel Quenneville, Barry Trotz, Bill Peters, Claude Julien, Jon Cooper, Dave Hakstol, Dave King, Dominique Ducharme, Willie Desjardins, Bill Peters, Bob Boughner, Mike Yeo, Kris Knoblauch and Gerard Gallant.

Dietrich was part of gold-medal winning teams at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey and 2017 Spengler Cup and won silver at the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship and 2017 IIHF World Championship — “Those were both shootout losses,” groaned Dietrich.

Hunter was an assistant coach for the Canadian team that won silver at the 2017 world juniors, held in Toronto in Montreal, and that tournament marked the beginning of his relationship with Dietrich.

Team Canada’s bench boss understands the painstaking and time-consuming nature of Dietrich’s work.

“I’d be lying if I told you that in an intermission one time, I saw something happen and I told the coaches and we won a medal because of it,” said Dietrich, who wears a headset and is in contact with the bench during games.

“There are no heroic moments like that. It’s the arduous process of making sure we don’t leave any stone unturned, to have all these little boxes checked and make sure all the coaches have the information.

“It could be something as simple as a misalignment on a faceoff that we see the opposition doing, so we adjust.”

Dietrich has to be somewhat of a

chameleon, forced to adapt to new staffs and differing coaching methods at every tournament, a process made easier by Hockey Canada’s template, but still a challenge.

“We as coaches put our individual stamp on the technical side of the way we want to play and the nuances, but Tyler has the template,” said Hunter, noting organizational skills are a must for any video coach.

“Tyler is a real big key for us in the technical side of the game, with presenting meetings, getting video ready, presentations and getting computers all set up. When you’re in a short tournament and you have a bunch of guys coming in who haven’t worked together before, it’s really important to have somebody to put everything together for us and he does that.”

Dietrich’s resume and network of contacts expand with every tournament he attends, as do the number of stamps in his passport.

The ride is so good he rarely focuses on what might be next.

“If this leads back into an onbench coaching role and it’s the right fit, then great,” Dietrich said.

“And if it leads to something more on the management-operations side, then great.

“I’ve learned so much being around these guys and I’m in a really fortunate spot right now. I try not to look too far in the future and just absorb everything and do the best job I can do in the moment.”

SUBBING IN Kamloops Blazers’ director of hockey operations and media man Tim O’Donovan stepped in for Dietrich at the 2018 world juniors.

O’Donovan handled video coaching duties and earned gold with Canada in Buffalo while Dietrich was working at the Spengler Cup in Switzerland.

Hamilton sent Manziel and offensive linemen Tony Washington and Landon Rice to Montreal for Canadian defensive end Jamaal Westerman, receiver Chris Williams and 2020 and 2021 firstround picks.

Manziel saw action in the Ticats’ two exhibition games, but remained on the sidelines as Jeremiah Masoli’s backup once the regular season began.

Manziel becomes the fourth different starter and fifth quarterback overall to play for Montreal (1-5) this season. Starter Drew Willy and backup Jeff Mathews are on the injured list.

Vernon Adams Jr., released earlier this season by Hamilton, drew the start in last week’s 44-23 home loss to Edmonton.

Manziel watched from the sidelines as Adams went the distance, finishing 15-of-28 passing for 217 yards and an interception while running eight times for 72 yards and a TD in leading the Alouettes to a seasonhigh scoring performance.

But Manziel assumes control of an offence that’s last in the CFL in offensive yards (253.8 per game), rushing (68.8 yards), plays from scrimmage (293) and touchdowns (eight) and second-last in offensive points (14.8).

Hamilton (2-4), meanwhile, hasn’t exactly set the CFL on fire lately on offence.

Masoli has thrown for 300 yards in five games this season, but offensively the Ticats have scored just two touchdowns in their last three games.

Happy 65 Anniversary th

Tiger off to nice start DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, Ohio — Tiger Woods returned to Firestone and had his lowest opening round of the year at the Bridgestone Invitational.

It was barely enough to keep pace.

Conditions were so soft and vulnerable Thursday that Kyle Stanley opened with a 7-under 63 among the early starters, and even that might not be enough to stay in the lead by the end of the first round.

Only nine players from the 36 who teed off early were over par.

Woods made bogey from a fairway bunker on his final hole for a 66. He made five birdies, including a 50-foot putt from just short of the 18th green as he was making the turn. Woods is an eight-time winner at Firestone, which is hosting this World Golf Championship for the last time.

For such an easy day of scoring, Woods said he “fought’’ for a good score.

“It’s nice to shoot rounds like I did at the Open and like I did today, put together rounds where I may not feel the best, but I’m able to post a score,’’ Woods said. “That’s how you win golf tournaments.

You’re not going to have your best

all four days and it’s a matter of that bad day being 2-, 3-under par instead of being 2-, 3-over par. And then everyone has their hot days.’’

Stanley was plenty hot, going out in 30 on the back nine and reaching 7 under through 11 holes before settling for a 63.

Patrick Cantlay had a 64, while Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Anirban Lahiri were among those at 65. Day played in the same group as Woods, and they were tied until Woods drove into a bunker on the par-4 ninth, came up short of the green and missed a par putt from just inside 10 feet.

“Once you find the confidence, then he’s not too far away. He’s not too far away from going on a pretty big tear here,’’ Day said. “We just hopefully stay out in front of him.’’

Woods is coming off a tie for sixth at the British Open, where he had the lead for about 30 minutes in the middle of the final round until he fell back with a double bogey.

He took a vacation in Switzerland and showed up at Firestone for nine holes of practice on Wednesday.

But he knows this course as well as anyone, already holding the PGA Tour record for most victories on the same golf course.

“I’ve had so many great memories here,’’ Woods said.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Dorothy L. Hilton

Adison Paige Davies It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Adison Paige Davies on July 27, 2018 at the age of 16 years.

On Sunday, July 29, 2018 Dorothy passed away on her own terms at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home with her husband, son and sister-inlaw by her side. She leaves behind her beloved family including her husband Dave, sons Cody (Amy) and Geordie, five grandchildren Stian, Tor, Dagny, Fischer and Anja and her brother Garth (Susan).

Dorothy was born in Edmonton in 1947. She and Dave were married in Edmonton in 1969 and lived in various cities throughout Western Canada before making Kamloops their home in 1981. Aside from being a loving and caring mother and grandmother, Dorothy gave a lot of her time as a volunteer to various organizations in Kamloops. Dorothy had a passion for making crafts and her paintings adorn many walls of family and friends. She is an example of never giving up when the odds they give you are bleak.

Dorothy is now at peace and will be missed by so many.

Dorothy is predeceased by her parents Bill and Clara Hamilton and brother Bob Hamilton.

Dorothy’s family would like to thank all the staff in the Renal Unit at Royal Inland Hospital. Their care, kindness and respect was appreciated by Dorothy and her family. The family would also like to thank the staff of the Intensive Care Unit at RIH for their care and attention.

A remembrance for family and friends to follow at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Kamloops Chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

Adison was born in Kamloops on December 6, 2001 to parents Sue and Rob Davies. She attended Parkcrest Elementary, Brock Middle School and Norkam Secondary and was registered to start at TRU in September.

Adison is survived by her amazing brother Colton and her half-brothers Trevor, Kyle and Jason, grandparents Dennis and Bev Huyghebaert, aunts and uncles Scott and Pat Huyghebaert, Janice and Troy Duperreault, Karen and Rick Girard, all her very special cousins, extended family and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, Adison would have appreciated and thanked you for a donation to the SPCA in honour of her crazy beloved cat little Rora Bean.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the lounge at McArthur Island on Sunday, August 5, 2018 at 2:00 pm. We invite all who knew her to come and celebrate her life and remember her most amazing infectious smile and the beautiful young person she was.

It is with great sadness that the family of Reno John Comazzetto announce his sudden passing on July 28, 2018.

Reno is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Stella, daughter Sharon Elliott (Ross), and sons Michael Comazzetto (Lisa) and Wayne Comazzetto. Also left to mourn his passing are his beloved grandchildren John and Trevor Hunt, Shannon Trefiak, Laura Franchuk, Becky Comazzetto, Cesira Comazzetto, his great-grandchildren, his sisters Enes Christianson and Emma Durigon, sisters-in-law Helen Comazzetto, Jenny Comazzetto, many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

He is predeceased by his daughter Mary Franchuk, his parents Antonio and Cesira Comazzetto, brothers Angelo, Bruno, Lindo, Mario and his sisters Linda and Elsie.

Reno was born on January 2, 1932 to Antonio and Cesira Comazzetto in Kamloops and spent his entire life in the area. Raised on the family farm in Valleyview, he later moved on to became a skilled and proficient mechanic and a successful businessman in the agriculture industry.

Throughout the years Reno enjoyed hunting, coaching minor hockey and ladies softball.

He was involved in the 4-H movement for many years and was instrumental in the formation of the Kamloops Exhibition Association. Reno was also involved in the early success of the horse racing industry in the Interior. Some of his happiest times were spent during summers at Okanagan Lake where the family shared a cabin with Mary and Ray Thomas and their family. Reno spent many hours towing future water-skiers.

Next to his family, Reno’s passion was his horses and the horse racing community. That passion remained until his passing. Reno also took great pride and enjoyed spending time in his flower garden.

Prayers will be held in Holy Family Parish Church, 2797 Sunset Drive (Valleyview), Kamloops on Friday, August 3, 2018 at 7:00 pm. Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Funeral Mass in the Church at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 4, 2018.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that any donations be made in Reno’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

In Loving Memory of Deveta Irene Allan

July 21, 1925 – July 28, 2018 Paul went to be with the Lord on the evening of July 28, 2018 in Kamloops, BC a week after his 93rd birthday.

Born in Simpele, Finland, Paul (Pappa) is remembered by his loving wife Hilkka, his daughters Eija Cryderman (Brent ), Eila Jaksa (John) and stepdaughter Rita Holzer. Also remembering him with love are his grandchildren Ken (Kailey) Cryderman, Eric (Jen) Cryderman and Hannah Jaksa, his great-grandchildren Adrianna, Jace, Keagan and Emma will have wonderful memories of their Pappa as well. They were the light in his eyes, and kept him young.

1944 - 1995

Paul was predeceased by his first wife Helvi in 1992 and his son Eric in 2007.

He was well thought of by many, as a man with a good sense of humour and a smile on his face. He started in Canada as a logger on the Queen Charlotte Islands before moving on to have a very rewarding career with Alcan in Kitimat, BC where his family was raised. He and Helvi moved to Quesnel after his retirement in 1985. After her passing, he reconnected with a family friend Hilkka, who was a widow. They married and had 25 wonderful years together before his death.

Paul loved camping, fishing, gardening, music and was a dedicated member of his churches in Kitimat, Quesnel and Kamloops.

A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 4, 2018 in the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 2481 Sunset Dr, Kamloops. Tea and coffee to follow in the church hall.

He was born on June 25, 1930 to Howard and Evelyn Lynds in Winnipeg, MB. After starting out shoveling coal on cargo ships in the Great Lakes, Dad tried bailing hay and trapping before becoming a 5th generation railway man.

In Loving Memory of Cam Taylor May 23, 1951 August 5, 2011

Ask DRAKE

He married the love of his life and best friend Marjorie on January 31, 1953. They made a few stops before settling in Thompson, MB where they raised their family of seven. After joining the Catholic Church, Dad became very active in the Knights of Columbus. He was a charter member of the Thompson Council, became a 4th Degree Knight and also became the Financial Secretary of the Knights and the Church.

Drake Smith, MSW

In 1986 Mom and Dad moved to Portage La Prairie where he worked for the CNR until he retired after 40 years of service. They moved to Paint Lake until 1998 and then to Kamloops. Dad loved to participate in the ALS walks held yearly in June.

A. You’ve opened a Pandora’s Box with that question. I just deal with funeral and cremation matters. But I can say that I’ve witnessed many battles, between the spouse left behind and the children/ step-children and amongst the children. Advice: do two things. First, get a will with an objective Executor.

Second, get Drake’s ‘Easy as 1-2-3’ Planning Sheet!

Dad leaves to mourn his children Rick (Thérèse), daughter-in-law Nancy (widow of Randy), Lori (Chris), Kathy (Roger), Marion (Clancy), Terry (David) and Janice. He also leaves behind eighteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, sister Norma, brother-in-law Ron, brother Keith and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his wife Marjorie, his parents Howard and Evelyn, sister Marjorie, son Randy, grandson Dylan, brother-in-law Bob, sister-in-law Lorna and sisterin-law Marion.

The Reverend Father Paul Simms will celebrate the Memorial Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 1:30 pm. Luncheon will follow at the OLPH Parish Centre.

THE LITTLE UNICORN

by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun.

The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams.

The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do.

That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light.

He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start.

Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees.

He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring...

The lonely, bitter tears.

But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can.

There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.”

His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
