This lemonade stand had been operating on the Rivers Trail in Westsyde for four years, according to James Dreyer, the father of its young proprietors. Dreyer said his children have been ordered by city bylaws officials to move it onto their driveway for safety reasons.

Dad says city ordered kids to move lemonade stand off sidewalk

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ben and Aime Dreyer know a capitalist opportunity when they see it, their dad says.

That’s why they decided to take advantage of the location of their house in Westsyde next to the Rivers Trail and, each summer in recent years, put a lemonade stand up at the end of their driveway.

“They’ve had it for about four years,” dad James said of his children. “Later, it turns into a produce stand when I harvest from the garden.

“My kids are capitalists so they want to get in on” being next to a trail frequented by people.

This week, however, the city’s bylaws department left a message for the family telling them to move the stand 12 feet into their driveway for safety reasons.

Ben is 13 and Aime is 11.

Dreyer said they have been taught safety rules, have never had an issue or safety problem in the past and the stand is not on the road but a few feet back from it on the driveway.

In the voicemail message bylaws left, the family was told the stand needs to be on private and not public property.

Dreyer said he was surprised given this has not been an issue in

the past four years.

He said on average one car will drive by every five minutes — but the trail is often busy with people, particularly in the summertime.

“I fear this is just the start,” he said, “and next, they’ll require [business] permits on lemonade stands.”

Two messages left with the bylaws department did not elicit a reply by KTW press time.

2 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER Did you know: if you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you have two years from the accident date to start an action. Otherwise, your claim will lapse and you won’t recover for your injuries.

Accident victims sometimes believe their injuries are not serious enough to start a claim. However, injuries often remain over time and the “old you” doesn’t come back. If your recovery has plateaued, it’s time to consider your options.

If you’ve been injured in an accident in the past two years, contact our Personal Injury Team for a free consultation.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW A number of construction projects are at various stages of completion across Thompson Rivers University’s campus, including this development just north of Old Main that is part of The Reach.

On-campus construction ramps up at university

Overall, city hall has issued $158.2M in permits through July JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Construction at Thompson Rivers University is ramping up, with building permits approved for The Reach and a new nursing building.

In July, the City of Kamloops issued a $1.4-million foundation permit for the $38-million, 49,000-square-foot nursing building.

“It’s a pretty busy place,” building development manager Jason Dixon said.

In July, the city issued 138 building permits worth $40.2 million. Most of that stemmed from residential projects, with $28.2 million in permits for apartments in Orchard’s Walk (140 units) and The Reach (88 units). Apartment permit

numbers are up from the same month in 2017, which saw two permits worth $20.8 million.

Dixon said it’s consistent with a demand for affordable housing.

“It’s just that trend we’re seeing,” he said.

Single-family dwelling permits, however, are down. In July, 10 permits were issued worth $4.4 million, compared to nearly double those numbers in July 2017. Overall for the year, the city issued 76 single-family dwelling permits worth $27.6 million compared to 125 permits worth $43.3 million in 2017.

Dixon said the numbers don’t tell the whole story, however, due to a spike last year.

“We’re right on par with 2016,” he said.

“I think it’s more a reflection of how 2017 was in that market

as opposed to any real change.”

The City of Kamloops continues to experience high construction values. It has issued 941 permits worth $158.2 million through July, compared to 1,019 permits worth $104.4 during the same time last year. Residential and commercial values are up from the same time last year, with $110.3 million in residential (compared to $82.9 in 2017) and $38.8 million in commercial (compared to $16.6 in 2017.)

Dixon said high construction values are driven by inflation and larger projects.

A permit for the full cost of the nursing building has still yet to hit the books.

Projects making significant construction headway in the city include a new carwash next to McDonald’s in Valleyview.

Woman dead after jump from Sicamous bridge BLACK PRESS

A 23-year-old woman from New Zealand is dead after jumping from a highway bridge in Sicamous this week.

At 2 a.m. on Wednesday, emergency crews were called to the Bruhn Bridge, the Trans-Canada Highway’s crossing point over the Sicamous channel that connects Shuswap and Mara lakes.

Police said the woman was in medical distress after jumping from the bridge into the channel.

The woman was one of four people to jump from the bridge, which is approximately 20 metres from the surface of the water.

When she did not immediately resurface, other people present helped her to shore.

According to police, the woman was transported to a local hospital and then to a larger hospital in the area before she was pronounced dead.

“Tragically, this is the second water-related death in Sicamous this summer,” said Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Murray McNeil.

“While we want to encourage people to get out and enjoy all that the area has to offer, we cannot stress enough the importance of paying attention to advisories and signage which are put in place to ensure your safety.”

Police said their initial investigation does not suggest any criminal activity was involved in the young woman’s death.

The BC Coroners Service is now investigating the death.

Tsilhqot’in leaders call mushroom pick rules ‘step in the right direction’ KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Tsilhqot’in National Government is lauding a successful 2018 mushroom picking season after setting up a permitting system for buyers and pickers traversing terrain burned during last year’s fire season.

“In general, the health and safety of pickers and harvesters was ensured with camps kept clean and an adequate response to issues of safety,” stated a press release from the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

“The economic benefits of this project should also be noted with local contracts being awarded for outhouses and garbage bins, along with numerous Tsilhqot’in members both buying and harvesting mushrooms this season.”

In addition to the permitting and following recommendations by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development enacted a Land Act closure of specific culturally and biologically sensitive areas to mushroom harvesting within the territory.

Education, compliance and enforcement was also done in partnership with the Tsilhqot’in Nation compliance, education and enforcement officers, conservation officers, natural resource officers and RCMP. “The management of the mushroom season was a step in the right direction,” said Chief Joe Alphonse, tribal chairman, of the Tsilhqot’in National Government.

“Post Tsilhqot’in decision, the

provincial and federal government need to work with us.

“The collaboration we saw during the mushroom season was a prime example of how effective management of resources can occur.”

The project provided economic benefits with many Tsilhqot’in members seeing a small increase to household incomes, the release goes on to state. Members were also able to provide feedback on what was happening on the land to ensure the harvest was a safe place for everyone.

Six First Nations — Skeetchestn, Bonaparte, Clinton, Tk’emlups, Pavilion and High Bar — also began selling permits to pickers, buyers and campers around the Elephant Hill wildfire area near Ashcroft this year.

CITY SHOULD KEEP INDOOR POOL OPEN

T

here are times when decisions at City Hall just simply defy logic.

Here we are gripped in an air-quality alert and temperatures that are skirting records and the main swimming pool in the city is about to be shut down for maintenance.

The outdoor pools are closed right now due to the smoke-filled air so one would think it might be a smart move — a resident-friendly move — to at least keep the eight-lane 50-metre pool, leisure pool for younger swimmers, three diving towers and two hot tubs open for those who might want to get some exercise in a cool environment.

Last year, the city opted to forgo the August closing and move it to the end of December. The reason? Poor air quality and a desire to give residents and the evacuees from fires in the area a place to escape the smoky air. The city’s sports development business operations manager even acknowledged last year that a lot of people wanted to get indoors and away from the smoke. He added pool traffic was 15 to 20 per cent busier than normal.

The air is bad now. The air quality health index has it between moderate and high risk to people, in particular young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors. It’s predicted to get worse as we near the weekend. Environment Canada has issued heat warnings into the weekend, something it does when the humidex value is expected to reach 40 C or more.

But let’s take the weather out of the equation. Where is the logic in shutting down for two weeks one of the major facilities for people in the city to use during a season when many are on vacation and may not be leaving the city?

When kids are out of school and perhaps looking for a place to cool off and have some fun rather than sitting in their bedrooms playing Minecraft?

Finding a different time do the annual maintenance would be a kidfriendly, a tax-payer friendly and, ultimately, a Kamloops-friendly decision.

After all, there are about 49 other weather weeks from which to choose.

Housing issue at hand

K

amloops, we’ve got a housing problem.

Nearly half the city’s renters spend more than 30 per cent of their income on housing.

In 2011, 695 people bought homes for under $240,000. This year, just over 100 are less than $275,000. There’s a one per cent vacancy rate. Even with the means, people can’t find places.

Bylaws receives numerous calls about those living on the streets.

The problem there?

Emergency shelter beds are intended to be just that — for emergencies. Give folks a few nights in a shelter, then refer them to second-stage housing — longer-term homes that give them a chance to get back on their feet.

Right now, there’s not enough second-stage housing available, so people are cycling through the system and back to the streets.

Housing is not under the mandate of municipal government but community safety, economic development and quality of life are. Improving the situation is in cities’ best interests.

Fewer people living rough offers increased safety — not only for those with homes, but for everyone. It improves business, economic investment and tourism.

The city’s vision is for housing to be available and affordable to everyone. That means options for students, first-time home-buyers, young families and seniors.

The city doesn’t operate housing, but it works as a steward, facilitator, investor and communicator to increase the supply.

A few recent examples: • The city purchased six parcels of land in the 500-block of St. Paul so the John Howard Society can build and operate 52 units

KATHY SINCLAIR

View from

CITY HALL of housing for low- to middleincome singles and families.

• The city has sold part of Spirit Square to Arpa Investments, which is building 33 market units and 43 affordablehousing units owned and operated by ASK Wellness.

• This past April, council approved a rezoning for 16 units of housing in Brocklehurst for Indigenous, Metis and Inuit youth who’ve aged out of care, and 15 for elders. Operated by Lii Michif Otipemisiwak, units are expected to rent from $600 to $750 per month.

• Last fall, mayor and council approved 100 new supported housing units through the Province’s new Rapid Response to Homelessness Initiative (RRHI) — part of BC Housing’s commitment to build over 2,000 modular supportive housing units across the province for those who are homeless or at risk. Locations at 259 West Victoria St. and 317/323 Tranquille were announced this past January. The projects will be run by local non-profit partners CMHA Kamloops and ASK Wellness, respectively, and local company Horizon North will build. Unfortunately, there’s been a delay in those projects for reasons beyond our control, but they will happen.

In light of the RRHI delays, my colleagues and I are well aware that more emergency shelter beds are needed to bridge the gap.

This is a major priority, and we need to do things right.

We’re learning that putting 50 to 100 people on mats under one roof is not best practice — especially when a percentage of individuals are in severe mental health distress or substance use.

Having a larger number of shelters and housing fewer people per shelter is more sustainable. Finding the right location is not as easy as it sounds. Shelters need to be in places where folks can easily catch transit and access services.

Zoning comes into play, and even those who agree housing is needed may change their tune when it’s their own neighbourhood.

But let’s remember that anyone can find themselves without a home: youth who’ve aged out of foster care, seniors and people with disabilities. One swift turn of the wheel of fortune brings the loss of a spouse, job, or health.

Without friends and family, I could easily be one of those people.

Got a picture in your head of “the homeless?” Consider now a single parent who can’t work due to crippling anxiety, a student who’s been couch-surfing for months, and a senior whose monthly pension doesn’t go far enough.

Only then will “the homeless” become living, breathing human beings.

So, yes, Kamloops. We have a problem. But there’s also a will to fix it — and with that and strong partnerships, there’s a way.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

CITY SHOULD CONTRACT ON SNOW WORK

RE: STORY: ALL-TIME HEAT RECORD COULD FALL THURSDAY, WITH KAMLOOPS HIGH FORECAST TO TOP 40 C: “Sooo ... 41.7 C in 1941. Was that due to climate change or global warming, he wondered.”

— posted by Snuffy the Seal

Editor: The city should hire private contractors to do the snow removal instead of hiring more municipal employees.

It would save the city money as they wouldn’t have to buy more equipment, plus we wouldn’t, as taxpayers, have to pay for overtime, holidays, sick days, medical and pensions for new employees.

In addition, contractors could hire or fire employees based on their work performance.

M. Hines Kamloops

RE: ASK EXPANDS DRUG TESTING: “These days, with all the fentanyl out there, the only way they are going to save an addict’s life is to take the drugs away and get them the help to get off the drugs.

“Testing is great, but all they are doing is enabling the addicts’ and users’ drug use.”

OFFERING THANKS AFTER JULY ACCIDENT READER TO CITY: KEEP OUR BIKE

KTW FILE PHOTO

Kamloops boasts many kilometres of bike paths, most prominent among them the Rivers Trail. But KTW reader Iris Winters says some sections of bike paths are not being properly maintained. What do you think about the city’s maintenance on local bike paths? Should more be done, or is city hall handling the issue well? Email your thoughts to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

Editor: After being caught up in snarled traffic downtown last month following an accident on Highway 1, I started thinking our first responders are due some recognition.

To RCMP, paramedics, firefighters, hospital staff and tow-truck drivers, I just want to say you are appreciated.

Janine Rewers-Page Kamloops

PATHS IN GOOD SHAPE, PLEASE

Editor: I am a recent user of the bike paths throughout Kamloops.

I would like to invite the powers that be (in charge of said bike paths) to take a closer look at the path over the Overlander Bridge using a mobilty scooter and get to experience first-hand each spine

crunching, liver jostling, bone shaking foot of it and many of the handicap accesses to get on and off the sidewalks particularly on the North Shore.

I have not had to navigate many on the South Shore yet.

While the bike paths are a great asset to the city and I have indeed

enjoyed the few weeks I have spent getting to know them, I am very disappointed in the condition of especially the bridge one. It is a very different experience traversing these paths on a bicycle than on a mobility scooter.

LOCAL NEWS ELECTION 2018

Adams already well-versed in what goes on at council meetings JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jennifer Dawn Adams remembers when she wanted to move to Kamloops.

She was visiting in 2011, took a dip in the river and heard “boom, boom, check, check.”

Music in the Park was starting and Adams was so intrigued by the free summer music program she went home, loaded up the truck and her four girls and moved to Kamloops.

“That’s the absolute gem of our city,” she said.

The 48-year-old spends many summer nights in the park but also spends plenty of Tuesday afternoons in council chambers. She’s been attending council meetings for 18 months.

“It has really clarified my understanding of the ability to make change within the position of a councillor,” Adams told KTW. “It’s a slow boat and a united effort.”

Collaboration, communication and relationships are important in making change at city hall, she said.

Adams formed relationships with NDP Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy and Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training Melanie Mark while volunteering for federal and provincial NDP campaigns in recent years. (Bill Sundhu in 2015 and Barb

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Jennifer Dawn Adams is hoping to land a seat on Kamloops city council in the municipal election on Oct. 20.

Nederpel in 2017.)

“I don’t really want to put up the party flag but, you know, looking at the way relationships work and being able to approach the government leaders in respect to the needs of the community,” she said. “I think having an established

relationship with current sitting leaders is probably a positive.”

The downtown resident ran and lost in the 2017 by-election.

During that time, she wanted the city to proactively prepare for recreational cannabis legalization. Zoning recently adopted by city council left out neighbourhoods like Westsyde and Valleyview, Adams said, noting that needs to be addressed.

She’s still “sour grapes” about the parking lot built where the former Kamloops Daily News once stood but recommended it for outdoor music or community gatherings. She also sits on the Downtown Neighbourhood Association board.

Adams also works for Axis Family Resources and volunteers for the city’s social planning council.

With a passion for social issues, Adams recommends inclusionary zoning to combat a lack of affordable housing.

Developers would set aside social housing units in a new developments or contribute financially to a fund earmarked for building, she said.

“They have to contribute to the social housing piece in some way,” Adams said.

While she shares a last name with another council candidate — Nicholas Adams — there is no relation.

Work underway on Logan Lake civic building KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Demolition work has begun on the District of Logan Lake’s $1.4-million upgrade to its municipal hall.

Work started on Tuesday on the project that will see the community’s old firehall turned into a space for a wellness

and youth organization as well as new council chambers, entrances and meeting space.

“We’re very excited to see this important project underway, as it provides much needed new space for WHY [Wellness, Health and Youth] and for the district,” Logan Lake Mayor Robin Smith

said in a press release.

“It also opens up valuable community space in our recreation centre that can be made available for special events.”

The project is not expected to impact daily operations for the district and is scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.

Why stop at weed? Kamloops doctor wants to see more drugs made legal require people who “goWe mountain biking to wear

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Q: My mom is 83 and her circle of friends is becoming increasingly smaller with each passing year. We include her in most of our family activities but feel she would be much happier having her own friends. Have you got any suggestions?

A) Friendships can have a major impact on our health and well-being.

This becomes increasingly important as we get older and face a variety of life events that could trigger loneliness and isolation.

Many older adults find it hard to develop new friendships. Developing and maintaining good friendships takes effort. To meet like minded people you have to go to places where others are gathered and this can sometimes be intimidating.

Has your mom ever thought about researching retirement community living where there are endless opportunities available to meet new people, develop close social connections and friendships. You can share a meal, attend fun activities, fitness classes and more. It is easier when all of the opportunities are under one roof. The friends you make in a retirement community can become like family. They are there to help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness and they can increase your sense of belonging and purpose.

Remember, it’s never too late to build new friendships!

A Kamloops emergency room doctor predicts after the legalization of marijuana, the government will move on to magic mushrooms — and he’s in favour of it.

There is a push in Ontario to start a legal Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge to see it happen in Canada.

California wanted to hold a vote on the issue, the emergency-room doctor and expert on naloxone’s use in opioid overdoses said, but the push for seeing it on a ballot failed to get the required 265,680 signatures.

There are similar movements in Oregon and Denver, where marijuana is legal. Oregon’s goal is to see it allowed only with the approval of a physician and under the supervision of a registered therapist. Denver wants a similar situation limited to that city only.

The groups promoting it say research shows psilbybin, the active drug in the mushrooms, can alleviate depression and anxiety.

Dr. Ian Mitchell, who works in the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital, said there are other studies

”

showing it also works on some people who have cluster headaches.

“There are more calls now for decriminalization,” Mitchell said.

“Medical officers of health are calling for it across the country now.”

One of them is Dr. Ken Tupper, who goes one step further, saying “decriminalization of drugs doesn’t go far enough.”

A senior member of the B.C. Centre on Substance Use who researches creating healthy public policy addressing illegal drugs, Tupper said the reality is enforcement on the supply side of drugs coming into the province isn’t working.

Both look to the path Portugal took in 2001. It didn’t legalize drugs but did decriminalize them and instituted as penalties fines or being referred to dissuasion panels composed of legal, social medical and

psychological experts who can work with the person on their lifestyle issues.

Basically, Mitchell said, these panels ask “What can we do to help?”

He called it a more enlightened approach that could see the person access housing, counselling or other services. It might also see the person walk away, only to be brought back again after another instance of being found with a drug.

Tupper also sees the Portugal model as providing some guidance on how Canada should move forward dealing with not only the opioid crisis but the issue of illicit drugs.

Contrary to those who say harm reduction isn’t working, Tupper says it not only works but is present throughout society.

“We require people who go mountain biking to wear helmets,” he said.

“And we learned we needed to put

seat belts in cars.”

Other harm-reduction mandates Tupper pointed to include things like requiring clean drinking water and vaccinations, putting air bags into vehicles, warnings on medications, the Food and Drug Act or specifications for making parachutes.

There are steps that can be taken to ensure drugs also meet standards, Tupper said Prohibition won’t work, both doctors said. Rather, there are lessons to be learned from it that speak to how to proceed with drugs.

Giving users a safe, regulated source would impact the illicit market, he said, and would have a significant impact on the opioid overdose crisis that has spread throughout the country.

Mitchell said such a move would also have an impact on crime, perhaps ease the transient issue and could start making people who buy decriminalized and controlled drugs more likely to have a point of contact with a service provider who might help them move to an improved lifestyle.

“We need to get them to not just be looking for drugs or money to get the next fix,” he said.

Crews battling more wildfires than last year But the blazes being fought so far this year are dwarfed in size by the record-setting fire season seen in 2017 MICHEAL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The 2018 wildfire season in B.C. is more widespread and has involved more fires than last year’s record-setting fire season, according to provincial officials.

As of Wednesday, 462 wildfires are actively burning across the province — 25 listed as fires of note while the vast majority are smaller, more remote fires.

Last year at this time, there were just 130 active wildfires burning around B.C. “We’ve had more fires this year [but] they haven’t been as large as what we were dealing with in 2017,” chief fire information officer for the BC Wildfire Service, Kevin Skrepnek, told KTW. This year’s wildfire season has already eclipsed the number of fires from 2017.

Since the start of fire season on April 1, there have been 1,502 wildfires throughout B.C. that have burned an estimated 101,000 hectares.

At this time last year, there had been 939 wildfires and, by the end of fire season, more than 1,350

KTW FILE PHOTO B.C. wildfire crews have been busy in 2018, but the size of the blazes they have battled have typically been smaller than last year.

fires had engulfed the province, but burned a record 1.2-million hectares of land. The current wildfire situation is less concentrated

to specific fire zones than last year and while firefighters have made progress on the flames some fires are still a greater concern.

“We’ve got fires of note in all fire centres across the province and that’s a bit different than last year where it was concentrated

in the Cariboo and the Okanagan and a little bit of the southeast,” Minister of Forests Lands and Natural Resources, Doug Donaldson, told reporters via teleconference.

Major fires of concern for the BC Wildfire Service are the Telegraph Creek fire in the Northwest Fire Centre and the Snowy Mountain wildfire near Keremeos, Donaldson said.

There were 44 new fire starts on Tuesday — most of which were lightning caused.

There are 2,800 personnel between firefighters on the front lines and support staff working on wildfires throughout B.C. and the cost of fighting the wildfires since April 1 is currently sitting at $131 million, Skrepnek said.

Last year, wildfire costs reached more than $568 million.

While there are no fires burning particularly close to Kamloops at the moment, smoke from wildfires burning around the province and Washington State has lingered in the valley thanks to a ridge of high pressure, said Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Erven.

Rainfall in July significantly more than normal MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops received an above average amount of rain in July, but it was a return to normal compared to a drier month in 2017.

A total of 39.9 millimetres of rain fell on the Tournament Capital last month, with 22 mm falling over the course of a sopping wet Canada Day long weekend.

“Average rainfall is 31.4 mm, putting it at 127 per cent of normal,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Erven.

By comparison, in July of 2017 just 3.4 millimetres of rain fell in Kamloops.

“We were substantially drier,” she said.

This past July is by no means a record, however, as the wettest day on record for Kamloops is 42.2 mm of rain recorded on July 1, 1954.

In the entire month of July

2018, 43.6 mm of rain fell on Kamloops and there was about 7 mm that fell in July 2015.

May to September are the wettest months for Kamloops.

Erven said she is not surprised to see those numbers fluctuate as they have in the past three years because it’s difficult to measure rainfall amounts throughout thunderstorm season given the fact many can be small.

Erven said July started off cool and wet across the province, but by mid July there were ridges of high pressure that caused a pair of heat waves from July 12 to July 19 followed by cooler temperatures and showers before the mercury bounced back into the 30s by the end of the month.

Kamloops saw record heat and dry conditions in May, recording its warmest and fourth-driest May on record, which was followed by an average June that saw temperatures closer to the average 18C and 36.8 mm of rain compared to the normally expected 37.4 mm.

KTW FILE PHOTO The City of Kamloops closed its sports fields, including the soccer pitches on McArthur Island, after heavy rains fell in early July.

According to Environment Canada, rainfall last month was 127 per cent of normal.

Fire danger rating has increased in recent weeks From A14

There is a special air-quality statement in effect for Kamloops and the air-quality health index dropped from a six to a four — both moderate risk — but smoky conditions are expected to lift by the weekend with cooler temperatures and wind on the way.

Temperatures are dropping from highs of 37C and 40C on Wednesday and Thursday to 26C on Saturday.

Erven told KTW the fire season got off to a bit of a slow start this year as it wasn’t until mid July that more and more fires began popping up across the province.

“More recently, in the last two or three weeks, is when things have really escalated and that’s not surprising given that basically, once we got past the first week in July with that cooler, showery weather hanging over the province, we basically swapped into these weeklong heatwaves with no precipitation, so things dried out

very quickly,” she said.

The fire danger rating was listed as low to moderate throughout most of the province by the end of June but it currently sits at high or extreme throughout most of the province now.

There are campfire bans in place throughout most of the province, including the Kamloops Fire Centre.

Skrepnek said the wildfire service is expecting a dramatic change in the weather Friday with cooler temperatures, wind and some thunderstorm activity.

“The X factor in terms of those thunderstorms is going to be around if we do see rain with those thunderstorms because there is a very good chance we’re going to see a pretty significant increase in lightning activity as well,” Skrepnek said.

Skrepnek told KTW about three to five millimetres are expected in the southern Interior from those thunderstorms.

“We’ll take any rain we can

get, but it’s certainly not going to be a [fire] season-ending event,” Skrepnek said.

He said the wildfire service bracing for Friday to be a difficult day and is keeping an eye on how much rain is going to fall and where.

As of Wednesday, wildfires have caused 22 active evacuation alerts that are in place across the province and 17 evacuation orders, the largest being for the Telegraph Creek fire where 250 people are under evacuation order and about 2,000 under evacuation alert.

“There are others that are scattered throughout the province and involve, in many cases, five, 10 [and] smaller than that,” said Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth.

Emergency Management BC has been in working with people under evacuation order to ensure they have what they need while displaced, he added.

Last year wildfires displaced about 65,000 people.

Many Canadians are driving high on cannabis, survey says THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A new Statistics Canada survey reveals an “alarming’’ number of Canadians have driven a vehicle while high on cannabis or have been passengers in such vehicles.

According to the second quarterly national cannabis survey, 14 per cent of cannabis users who have a driver’s licence admitted they got behind the wheel within two hours of consuming cannabis at least once in the past three months.

And five per cent of Canadians over the age of 14 said they’ve been a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who’d consumed cannabis in the preceding two hours.

The survey results were released Thursday, just two months before cannabis is to become a legal, regulated product in Canada.

Statistics Canada is conducting quarterly surveys throughout this year as part of an effort to measure the social and economic impacts of legalization.

Andrew Murie, chief executive officer of MADD Canada, called the latest numbers “alarming’’ — more than triple the rate of Canadians who drive after consuming alcohol in the preceding two hours.

Ottawa announced Thursday it has reached voluntary, five-year deals with Visa, MasterCard and American Express by about 10 basis points.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau, who unveiled the deal at an Ottawa grocery store, said he expects the agreements to

close to 16 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and up, reported using cannabis in the prior three-month period.

This was similar to what was reported in Statistics Canada’s first quarterly survey.

Cannabis use was higher than the national average in Nova Scotia (21 per cent), Ontario (18 per cent) and in the territorial capitals: Whitehorse (23 per cent), Yellowknife (27 per cent) and Iqaluit (33 per cent).

The survey suggests cannabis use is highest among young people — 33 per cent of 15 to 24-year-olds, compared to 13 per cent of Canadians over the age of 25.

Statistics Canada suggests higher usage among young people may account for regional variations, particularly in the territorial capitals where populations tend to be considerably younger than the national average.

Consumption rates in Quebec and Saskatchewan were lower than the national average, at 11 and 10 per cent respectively.

The vast majority of respondents — 82 per cent — also said they probably wouldn’t increase their consumption once pot is legalized.

The latest data was collected from mid-May to mid-June.

“I think if you compare it to alcohol, they’re shocking,’’ he said in an interview.

However, Murie noted that the federal government has recently authorized more tools to test drivers for cannabis impairment and he predicted the rate of drug-impaired driving will drop once police get those tools operational.

“I think once people get the idea that police do have the tools, that they can detect drug-impaired drivers, especially cannabis, then I think like alcohol with the breathalyzer it’ll start to lower those rates.’’

Part of the problem in discouraging driving while high is that no one can pinpoint how much cannabis needs to be consumed to cause impairment, Murie said, noting that there are too many variables, such as the potency of pot consumed and an individual’s tolerance level.

To be on the safe side, he said MADD — Mothers Against Drunk Driving — recommends that no one should drive a vehicle within four hours of consuming any amount of cannabis.

According to the survey, men were nearly two times more likely than women to drive high.

The second quarter data found that about 4.6 million people nationally, or

“That’s a big difference for companies,’’ said Morneau, who billed the change as part of his department’s effort to listen to the concerns of Canadian business owners about staying competitive.

“Today, is one part of responding to those competitiveness challenges.’’

Starting in 2020, Visa and MasterCard will reduce the fees they collect from businesses to an average annual effective rate of 1.4 per cent — down from 1.5 per cent — and narrow the gap between

the highest and lowest rates they charge retailers.

American Express has agreed to provide more fairness and transparency as part of a separate voluntary commitment that recognizes its unique business model.

But some had hoped Ottawa would lower the rate even further.

A spokesman for the Retail Council of Canada said he was “underwhelmed’’ by the scope of the expected change because it would amount to just $100 worth of savings for businesses for every $100,000 worth of credit-card sales.

Steps may be taken to quell gun violence TERESA WRIGHT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada is willing to consider any possible measures that might reduce gun violence and organized crime, but will stay the course when it comes to border security, says the federal minister who’s now overseeing the Liberal government’s approach to all three.

Bill Blair is acknowledging that the latest rash of shootings — most recently in Toronto — has touched off a sense of urgency among the public for the government to do more to keep deadly firearms out of the wrong hands.

“This is a significant concern for Canadians,’’ Blair told The Canadian Press in an interview.

“The concern that currently exists in places like Toronto, Surrey, B.C., and other parts of Canada requires that we examine the issue and deal with it in a comprehensive way.’’

The former Toronto police chief, elected to the House of Commons for the first time in October 2015, earned his first

BILL BLAIR senior cabinet post last month after helping to stickhandle the controversial Liberal cannabis bill between three separate departments to its ultimate approval earlier this year.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now tasked Blair with conducting a “deep analysis’’ across government to examine what additional steps could be taken to tackle the scourge of gun violence — a subject with which the veteran of the Toronto police is intimately familiar.

“Because I’ve got decades of experience, the prime minister has asked me to provide that focus for our government, to look at every aspect in every ministry so that we address all

of the issues related to gun violence and that will enable us to take effective action in addressing it,’’ he said.

The government’s work will include looking at “any measure which will be effective,’’ he added.

Last month, three people were killed and and 13 others were injured after a gunman opened fire on one of Toronto’s busiest streets — just the latest in a number of deadly shootings this year. In response, Toronto city council passed a motion urging the federal government allow the city to forbid the sale of handguns in the city and for the province to outlaw the sale of handgun ammunition within city limits.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced $25 million in new funding Thursday to combat gun violence in Toronto, but said he would not support a proposed ban on handgun sales.

The federal government has already said it would consider a number of different ways to crack down further on handguns, including empowering municipalities to do so — a commitment Blair reiterated this week.

Pence outlines U.S. Space Force plan for ‘next battlefield’ LOLITA C. BALDOR

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Pointing to growing threats and competition from Russia and China, the White House on Thursday announced ambitious plans to create the U.S. Space Force as a sixth, separate military warfighting service by 2020.

The proposal taps into the American public’s long fascination with space but with a military focus, and it faces daunting hurdles. It requires congressional approval and has been met with skepticism from military leaders and experts who question the wisdom of launching an expensive, bureaucratic new service branch.

U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence announced the new force during a Pentagon speech, fleshing out an idea that President Donald Trump has flagged in recent months as he vowed to ensure American dominance in space. Pence described space as a domain that was once peaceful and uncontested but has now become crowded and adversarial.

“Now the time has come to write the next great chapter in the history of our

armed forces, to prepare for the next battlefield where America’s best and bravest will be called to deter and defeat a new generation of threats to our people, to our nation,’’ said Pence.

Trump marked Pence’s announcement with a tweet: “Space Force all the way!’’

Pence portrayed the change as a response to foes’ potential aggression rather than any offensive U.S. military effort.

Citing Russia and China, he said that for years U.S. adversaries have “pursued weapons to jam, blind and disable our navigation and communication satellites via electronic attacks from the ground.’’

“As their actions make clear, our adversaries have transformed space into a warfighting domain already and the United States will not shrink from this challenge,’’ he said.

In June, the president directed the Pentagon to create a “separate but equal’’ space force, a complicated and expensive move that could take years to gain Congress’ approval and become operational.

On Thursday, Pence said the administration will work with Congress on the

plan and will outline a budget next year.

The last time the U.S. created a new uniformed military service was in 1947, when the Air Force was launched after World War II. It joined the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has endorsed steps to reorganize the military’s space warfighting forces and create a new command, but has previously opposed launching an expensive new service.

A new branch of the military would require layers of bureaucracy, military and civilian leaders, uniforms, equipment and an expansive support structure.

Asked about the cost, Deputy Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan told reporters the Pentagon doesn’t have a number yet but will when the legislative proposal is finished by the end of the year.

“I would assume it’s billions,’’ he said.

Deborah James, who served as Air Force secretary for the final three years of the Obama administration, estimated it would be five to 10 years before a separate service would be fully formed.

“Eventually, it’ll settle out, but you will go through years of thrashing,” she said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s Senate on Thursday rejected a bill to legalize elective abortion, a defeat for a grassroots movement that came closer than ever to achieving the decriminalization of the procedure in the homeland of Pope Francis.

Lawmakers debated for more than 15 hours and voted 38-31 against the measure that would have legalized abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. The decision could echo across Latin America, where the Roman Catholic Church has lost influence and moral authority due to secularization, an out-of-touch clerical caste and an avalanche of sex abuse scandals.

For long hours, thousands of supporters wearing green handkerchiefs that represent the effort to legalize abortion and opponents of the measure wearing light blue, braved the heavy rain and cold temperatures in Argentina’s winter to watch the debate on large screens set up outside Congress.

The demonstrations were largely peaceful, but after the vote, small groups of protesters clashed with police, throwing firebombs and setting up flaming barricades. Police officers responded with tear gas.

Pushed by a wave of demonstrations by women’s groups, the lower house had already passed the measure and conservative President Mauricio Macri had said that he would sign it, even though he is anti-abortion.

Indonesian quake death toll tops 300 ASSOCIATED PRESS

TANJUNG, Indonesia — The Indonesian World News island of Lombok was shaken by a third big earthquake in little more than a week Thursday as the official death toll from the most powerful of the quakes topped 300.

The strong aftershock, measured at magnitude 5.9 by the U.S. Geological Survey, caused panic, damage to buildings, landslides and injuries. It was centred in the northwest of the island and didn’t have the potential to cause a tsunami, Indonesia’s geological agency said.

Videos showed rubble strewn across streets and clouds of dust enveloping buildings. In northern Lombok, some people leaped from their vehicles on a traffic-jammed road while an elderly woman standing in the back of a pickup truck wailed “God is Great.’’ An Associated Press reporter in the provincial capital, Mataram, saw people injured by the quake and a hospital moving patients outside.

The aftershock caused more “trauma,’’ said a national disaster agency spokesman.

BRIEFS

Yemen rebels say Saudi strike kills 50 SANAA, Yemen — An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Shiite rebels hit a bus driving in a busy market in northern Yemen on Thursday, killing least 50 people including children and wounding 77, Yemen’s rebel-run Al Masirah TV said citing rebel Health Ministry figures.

The Saudi-led coalition, meanwhile, said it targeted the rebels, known as Houthis, who had fired a missile at the kingdom’s south on Wednesday, killing one person who was a Yemeni resident in the area.

Al Masirah TV aired dramatic images of wounded children, their clothes and schoolbags covered with blood as they lay on hospital stretchers. The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Twitter that its team at an ICRC supported hospital in Saada received the bodies of 29 children, all under 15 years old. It also received 48 wounded people, including 30 children, it said.

Reported immigrant child death probed AUSTIN, Texas — Texas child welfare officials Thursday opened an abuse and neglect investigation into reports that surfaced last week of a child dying after being released from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

The announcement came shortly after Texas officials appeared frustrated during a public hearing with lawmakers, saying immigration attorneys making the allegations had still not provided the child’s name and were being unresponsive. Hours later, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said it was given the name needed to launch an inquiry.

It becomes the 52nd child abuse and neglect investigation at a Texas facility housing immigrant children since December. None of the roughly 40 completed so far have been substantiated by state child welfare investigators, and the others remain ongoing.

Reports of a child dying after leaving an ICE family detention centre in Dilley, Texas, had been widely shared on social media and inflamed the debate over immigration and the Trump administration’s crackdown at the border. But details have been sparse and both Texas and ICE had said they needed a name and specifics to fully look into the reports.

Finding ‘alone time’ as others have in the mountains

M

ost of us have said something like “I need some alone time” at times in our lives.

We live in a busy, stressful world, full of pressures and demands: debts, traffic jams, difficult bosses, unreasonable customers, clueless politicians, irritating neighbours, insensitive spouses, neverending house repairs, aging parents with serious health issues, demanding kids with galling laziness — the list is endless.

Sometimes, we just need to get away and recharge our batteries.

I was at a retreat

at the Immaculate Heart of Mary shrine in Cache Creek a few years back. There are dormitory-style rooms for conference participants, but there is one cabinsized building on the grounds set apart from everything else.

It is the “hermit’s cabin,” designed for those who wish to do an individual retreat for prayer and reflection.

There is no phone, no TV, no internet, no human interaction at all — just you and God. Seriously, when was the last time you were completely alone in an atmosphere of serenity and peacefulness?

We all need some

alone time.

The Bible is replete with examples of spiritual leaders who took time away to commune with God. More often than not, the site for those individual retreats was a mountaintop.

The book of Exodus records, “The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain.”

Moses spent 40 days fasting and praying on Mt. Sinai, and came down with the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments.

Not only that, his second mountaintop experience with God was so powerful his

face became eerily radiant.

People were afraid to come near him and to ease their discomfort, Moses covered his face with a veil.

Supernatural experiences with God come in the high places — alone.

The prophet Elijah had his “peak experience” on Mt. Horeb, called “the mountain of God” in the book of 1 Kings. (Horeb and Sinai are generally considered to be the same mountain and there is some evidence that it is in ancient Midian/modern northwest Saudi Arabia, although no one really knows for certain.)

God said to Elijah, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Elijah records a powerful wind, an earthquake, and a great fire, then the voice of God spoke to him.

St. Paul spent three years in Arabia prior to his time of active ministry. It would not surprise me if he spent his time near Mt. Horeb, walking in the footsteps of Moses and Elijah, in spiritual preparation for his mission.

Jordan, he withdrew by himself to a mountain in the desert for forty days of fasting and prayer.

Tradition says it was Mt. Quarantania in the Judean desert.

It was a time of preparation for his ministry to come, but it wasn’t an easy time. It was here that Satan tempted him.

Your “alone time” may bring serious doubts and an unpleasant look in the mirror. Jesus didn’t rely on his own strength to resist Satan, however, but rebutted every temptation by quoting from Scripture.

The lesson here is clear — when you go on a spiritual retreat, make sure the Word of God is close at hand.

The transfiguration of Jesus took place on a mountaintop.

Here, with disciples Peter, James and John as witnesses, Jesus became radiantly white, and the spirits of Moses and Elijah (representing the Law and the Prophets) appeared alongside him.

Then after a cloud enveloped the mountain, a heavenly voice spoke saying, “This is my Son, whom I love.

Listen to him!”

ing death of John the Baptist, Jesus, hearing of the news, “withdrew by boat to a solitary place.”

But crowds of people followed him anyway and Jesus interrupted his retreat to heal, preach and miraculously feed them.

Immediately afterward though, he dismissed the crowd and his disciples and “went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.”

After the pressing demands of ministry he needed to recharge his batteries and spend time with the Father.

Jesus’ final retreat was in the Garden of Gethsemane, just prior to his arrest and crucifixion.

He prayed so hard he sweated blood, pleading with the Father. We all know what happened.

Spiritual retreats are good for the soul.

They need to involve fasting, prayer, mediation, self-reflection, and time with God’s Word and other spiritual writings (I would recommend Thomas a Kempis Imitation of Christ or A.W. Tozer’s Pursuit of God).

WONDERING AND WANDERING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. MARGARET DEEFHOLTS travelwriterstales.com

Washington, D.C., reeks.

The stench, according to some, is caused by corruption in high places, political chicanery and machinations by self-serving lobbyists. It’s a city engulfed in a miasma of arrogance, greed and ambition.

Well... that is what some people say and, given the character of today’s occupant of the White House, it is hardly surprising.

But that’s beside the point.

The more important point is that Washington, D.C., is a magnificent testament to the greatness of the American people, to the country’s past and, despite everything else, to its present as well.

It is a dignified and elegant city. Its historical monuments, superb art galleries, museums and memorials flank the National Mall — a green swath of lawn, shady trees and reflecting pools.

The imposing Lincoln Memorial stands at the west end of the Mall. At the midpoint, the Washington Monument obelisk pierces the sky. The Capitol building with its cupola and white colonnades marks the eastern end.

To the north the viewer can glimpse the facade of the White House, and the Potomac River and its tidal basin curves to the south.

The Washington Monument is closed to the public due to repair work, so I start my explo-

ration at the memorial to Thomas Jefferson — the third American president and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence.

His statue stands at the centre of a circular pavilion, its walls inscribed by quotations from his prolific essays and speeches.

A short drive away, Martin Luther King Jr., arms folded, looks gravely at his visitors from his stone plinth which bears the inscription: “Out of the Mountain of Despair, A Stone of Hope.”

The surrounding wall carries the sentiments of a man whose life was dedicated to the civil-rights movement and the indefatigable pursuit of justice for all: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Around the corner is the extensive memorial to Franklin Roosevelt. I linger here, strolling along a shady pathway that flanks several sculptures of America’s charismatic 32nd President and I’m impressed beyond measure by the man, his political and economic foresight and courage.

He served an unprecedented four terms and guided the country through the Great Depression of the 1930s and through the Second World War. Abraham Lincoln is honoured in a memorial that stands at the west end of the Mall. The marble statue of the seated 16th president takes centre stage while inscriptions of

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS/TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES The Capitol Building encompasses the House of Representatives and the Senate, features a spectacular rotunda with a painted cupola.

his speeches — notably the Gettysburg address — are displayed on the surrounding walls.

With the imposing building at my back, I join visitors gazing at the vista that stretches before them: the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the Washington Monument needling scudding clouds, and beyond that in the distance, the white cupola of the Capitol building.

Dotted around the Mall, are memorials to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country: a wall of remembrance etched with the names of Vietnam veterans and

a dramatic fountainsplashed memorial honoring the soldiers who fought in the Second World War. However, from a personal viewpoint, it is my visit to nearby Arlington Cemetery that revives poignant memories.

I stand, head bowed, before the eternal flame flickering upon the graves of John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, little Patrick, their son, and an un-named daughter who died at birth.

Next up on my to-do list, is a guided tour through the Capitol building which encompasses the House of Representatives

and the U.S. Senate.

A 13-minute introductory film sets the stage for the tour. My group follows a docent who leads us into the crypt and from there to the spectacular rotunda with its painted cupola ceiling and a bas relief fresco encircling the hall, which depicts historical highlights beginning with the landing of Columbus to the birth of aviation in 1903.

Paintings of historical events and statues of presidents line the walls of the rotunda and the adjoining National Statuary Hall, which gratifyingly includes a bronze seated Rosa Parks.

Olynyk key in push for Tokyo 2020 KAMLOOPS BIG MAN UNDERSTANDING OF NBA STARS THUS FAR OPTING OUT MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canada is inching closer to snapping a pair of dubious international basketball streaks.

The Maple Leaf has not been represented by a men’s team at the Olympic Games since 2000 and the Canadians have been absent from the World Cup since 2010.

Commanding victories to wrap Round 1 of FIBA Americas World Cup qualification action — 99-69 over the Virgin Islands in Ottawa on July 2 and 97-61 over the Dominican Republic in Toronto on June 29 — meant Canada finished atop its group and advanced to the final qualification round.

Canada (5-1) is in Group F for Round 2, along with Venezuela (5-1), Brazil (5-1), Dominican Republic (4-2), Virgin Islands (2-4) and Chile (1-5), and will qualify for the World Cup with a top-three finish.

Argentina (5-1), the U.S. (5-1), Puerto Rico (4-2), Uruguay (4-2), Panama (3-3) and Mexico (3-3) comprise Group E, with its topthree finishers also advancing to the World Cup. The top fourth-place finisher of the two groups will earn the seventh automatic qualification spot for the 2019 World Cup, which will run from Aug. 31 to Sept. 15 in China.

If Canada reaches the World Cup, a top-seven finish will land them a spot at the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo.

Finishing outside the top seven would force the Canadians into more qualification tournaments.

“We’re trying to do everything we can to get to the ultimate goal

of medalling in the Olympics,” Team Canada forward Dwight Powell, 27, told KTW. “We’ve got to go step by step. We’ve got to keep going. It’d be huge.”

Conversations about the national team are not complete without talk of who is not participating.

NBA stars Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray and Tristan Thompson did not participate in the most recent round and Canada’s roster has been makeshift throughout the qualification process, which began in November.

Kelly Olynyk of the Miami Heat and Powell of the Dallas Mavericks joined Canada in time for its final two Round 1 qualification games.

They were in Kamloops last week for the Heat star’s annual basketball camp, the Olynyk Klynyk, and were asked about notable players who opted not to play for Canada in Round 1.

See POWELL, A26

DAVE EAGLES/KTW These Olynyk Klynyk campers were unable to keep the big man from getting to the hoop at the Tournament Capital Centre last Wednesday. Olynyk is aiming to inspire more Canadians to play basketball by making it to the 2020 Olympic Summer Games.

POWELL PRAISES CANADA’S DEPTH, YOUTH, VETS From A25

“The national team is a different thing,” said 27-year-old Olynyk, now playing on a four-year, $50-million contract with Miami.

“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.”

Olynyk planned to play for Canada in a World Cup qualification tournament in the summer of 2016, despite heading into a

DWIGHT POWELL contract year with the Boston Celtics, but was forced to sit out due to shoulder surgery.

He donned the Maple Leaf for Canada in a crushing 79-78 loss to Venezuela in Mexico City shortly before the NBA season began in September of 2015, when a win would have meant a berth in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The 7-foot forward is among those who makes playing for his country a priority, along with the likes of

Indiana Pacers’ guard Cory Joseph, but the Kamloops product refuses to criticize bigname players who have sat on the sidelines thus far in the 2020 qualification process.

“Guys have different priorities,” Olynyk said. “Different guys are in different situations.

Everyone has their own reasons and they’re valid. You can’t really speak to that.

“You’re always talking to those guys, but it’s tough. You’re playing all year round. Guys have different things they need to do, especially with their bodies and getting healthy.

It’s not easy to spend a couple weeks or a month or two, whatever it is, to keep playing. It makes for a long long season.”

Head coach Jay Triano will be working with a new group for pivotal Round 2 FIBA Americas World Cup qualification matchups

next month, the first against Brazil in Laval, Que., on Sept. 13. Chile will play host to Canada on Sept. 16.

“As soon as we found out we weren’t going to Rio, the goal was Japan the whole time,” Olynyk said.

“Japan is where we are going and that is where we want to be.

“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.”

The emergence of teenage sensations RJ Barrett and Andrew Nembhard is among the reasons Powell isn’t too worried about missing Wiggins, Murray and Thompson.

“For all of those guys, when they’ve been part of the national team, they’ve given everything they could, played as hard as they could, bought into the

system, put egos aside and represented the country the right way,” said Powell, who is from Toronto. “I try not to jump to judgement too soon.

“We’re in a really good place, with some veteran guys who know the international game and also some exceptional young talent.”

Canada will play Venezuela on Nov. 30, Brazil on Dec. 3, Chile on Feb. 21 and Venezuela on Feb. 24 to round out the qualification schedule.

“We’re not going to have the same group we necessarily had this last window, just because of scheduling, but we have such a deep pool of talent in the country that we have a lot of confidence in the guys who will play throughout the rest of the qualification process,” Powell said.

“We just try to show up with whoever we have and just bring it.”

HICKETTS MEANS BUSINESS IN PURSUIT OF NHL JOB MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Joe Hicketts is determined to play in the National Hockey League this season.

The 22-year-old defenceman from Kamloops made his NHL debut in 2017-2018 and finished with three points in five games with the Detroit Red Wings.

“What that kind of did was motivate me,” said Hicketts, who was at a B.C. Hockey event in Riverside Park last week when he spoke to KTW. “I got a taste of the NHL. This year, I want to be there full-time.”

Hicketts began his professional career in 2016-2017 with the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Red Wings’ American Hockey League affiliate, and won the Calder Cup. He racked up three goals and 12 points in 67 games with Grand Rapids last season and made his Red Wings’ debut against the Devils in New Jersey on Jan. 22.

“I was only up for a day and a half or two days, but you’re flying to New Jersey, you’re not on the bus,” Hicketts said. “That was kind of the first taste that, you know what, I don’t really want to

get sent back down.

“At the end of the season, I was up for another couple games and that was kind of the last little push that said, ‘I’m going to do everything in my power this off-season to work toward being there full-time.’”

Off-season training has been intense and included a trip to Montreal to work on skills and power skating.

Hicketts will be working out in Kamloops before heading to practise later this month with the Victoria Royals, with whom he starred in a four-season WHL career.

There were mistakes, but the 5-foot-8, 180-pound rearguard did not look out of place on an NHL blue line, with his first point coming in a 5-2 victory over Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins in Detroit on March 27.

He will head to the Motor City in September with no plans to leave.

“Last year, with salary cap and other contract restrictions, it was easy to send me down while they had their 23-man roster,” Hicketts said. “This year, it’s my chance to get in, I think.”

ELSA/GETTY IMAGES Joe Hicketts announced his presence in his NHL debut with the Detroit Red Wings with this hit on New Jersey Devils’ forward Nico Hischier on Jan. 22. Hicketts, a defenceman from Kamloops, is aiming to stick with the big club this season.

THEFT OF DEWALT TOOLS

On July 31, a male that was hanging around a lotto booth on the North Shore waited for the perfect opportunity to grab lotto tickets and run. All lottery tickets are logged and if deemed stolen are worthless to thieves, who may try to trade these tickets for cash — so be leery of such offers.

The suspect is described as a white man with a beard. He was wearing a black ball cap, a red T-shirt, black shorts with a white stripe down the sides and dark-coloured slide sandals. He was also carrying a one-strap crossbody backpack.

On August 4th, 2018 a male entered into a Hardware Store on Halston Road in the afternoon. The male grabbed a shopping cart and then proceeded to look around the store. He then loaded a boxed Dewalt tool set in the cart and headed for the door. It is unknown where the suspect went after he left the store but may be associated to a grey sedan. The suspect is in his late 30's, was wearing jeans, a grey hoodie, a grey t-shirt with black lettering, a grey ball cap with a Nike swoosh, and carrying a grey and black man purse around his neck.

U.S. HOCKEY HALL OF FAME TO GROW STEPHEN WHYNO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nashville Predators’ general manager David Poile headlines the 2018 class of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

Former University of Michigan coach Red Berenson, three-time Olympic medallist Natalie Darwitz, retired NHL referee Paul Stewart, Poile and the late Leland (Hago) Harrington will be inducted on Dec. 12 at a ceremony in Nashville, Tenn.

Poile has run an NHL team the past 36 seasons, including 15 with the Washington Capitals and 21 with the Predators. He has the most victories of any GM in league history. The U.S. won a silver medal at the 2010 Olympics with Poile as assistant GM and he was GM of the 2014 Olympic team.

The 68-year-old isn’t done yet.

“I’m very motivated. Honestly, it’s things like this that motivate you,’’ Poile said. “It’s just a great, great game. I don’t really see myself not doing something in hockey. I know it can’t last forever, but there’s a lot to be accomplished.’’

Poile and Berenson were born in Canada and went on to make significant impacts on hockey in the United States. Berenson coached Michigan for 33 seasons, taking the Wolverines the NCAA Tournament 22 straight times and reaching the Frozen Four 11 times.

Darwitz was the youngest player on the U.S. national women’s team at 15 in 1999 and won three Olympic silver medals. She set the career scoring record at Minnesota (246 points) and the single-season NCAA record.

Stewart officiated 1,059 NHL regular-season and playoff games. He’s the only American to play and referee in the NHL. Harrington was the first American-developed player to record a hat trick. He died in 1959.

Red-card worthy?

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps didn’t like the decision to send Brazilian Felipe off for a tackle on Toronto FC’s Marky Delgado in the first leg of the Canadian Championship final.

Delgado offered up some post-game evidence in support of referee David Gantar.

The TFC midfielder posted a short video on social media Thursday showing a series of ugly parallel red welts on his lower leg with the words “Didn’t get me too bad

right?’’ with a handsup emoji.

Felipe was shown a straight red card in first-half stoppage time on a play that Vancouver coach Carl Robinson said maybe deserved a yellow.

“He spoilt the game.

It’s not a red card,’’ Robinson said after the match, referencing Gantar.”He’s got that wrong. I’m fuming.”

Toronto earned a 2-2 tie on a Doneil Henry 96th-minute own goal. Felipe will be suspended for the second leg next Wednesday at BMO Field.

Canadian international striker Janine Beckie has joined the Manchester City women’s team in a transfer from Sky Blue FC of the National Women’s Soccer League.

Beckie, who turns

“It’s a really exciting time,’’ Beckie told the Canadian Press.

“I’m still a bit on Cloud 9. This really is a very great dream come true.’’

The 22-year-old guard from Hamilton is playing in her first season with the New York Liberty of the WNBA. She scored 20 points Monday in her first career start. Earlier this season she scored 34 points off the bench in a game against Indiana, setting franchise records for most points in a game by a rookie and most points by a reserve.

The six-foot guard helped Canada’s senior women’s basketball team win gold at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto and two golds and a silver at the last three FIBA Women’s AmeriCup events.

Soccer Quest is on the ball for its fifth indoor soccer season Soccer Quest entering its fifth year of operations in Kamloops with another full house of soccer players from all age groups and genders.

Since opening at Eighth Street and York Avenue on the North Shore, Soccer Quest’s programs have grown to the point where there are wait lists for most youth, mini and adult programs. The facility’s academy program is another indication of the impact Soccer Quest has had on the local soccer community.

A full-time professional coaching staff has helped the academy become one of the best in B.C. and Western Canada.

During the 2018-2019 indoor season, there will again be growth by having a school-accredited academy in partnership with the Kamloops Christian School.

Students will train every school day, working on their individual and team skills and learning about sports science and soccer theory.

Parity in one of the main reasons behind the success of Soccer Quest as organizers always look to even create evenly matched teams in all programs, from youth through to the men’s 45+ leagues. In the games last season, it was difficult

for spectators to determine which team stood taller in the standings based on the game play.

Having started an indoor women’s rec league back in 2003, Soccer Quest now has created Kamloops’ first co-ed league, which has now also gone outdoors, operating under the KRSL. The co-ed league’s goal is to have two divisions this winter — rec and open — playing on Saturday nights.

The men’s rec, open and 45+ and the women’s rec and open leagues have the majority of the outdoor KRSL, KMSL and KWSL players enjoying the warm, friendly atmosphere, where they can have a cold one in the Strikers bar after the game.

The indoor adult leagues also a recruitment tool for the outdoor leagues.

Soccer Quest strives to keep costs affordable. With the help of league sponsors NRI Distribution, Pronto, Chahal Priddle, Smith Chev Olds, Riversyde Auto, Fresh is Best and Iron Road Brewery, fees for programs are kept to a minimum.

Indoor registration is now open online at soccerquest.ca.

FOWLER TAKES LEAD INTO DAY 2 OF PGA CHAMPIONSHIP DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — Rickie Fowler took the first step toward celebrating his own major championship Thursday.

Three times a runner-up in golf’s biggest events, Fowler ran off five birdies over his final 11 holes at Bellerive and opened with a 5-under 65, giving him a two-shot lead among the morning side of the draw in the PGA Championship.

Still only 29, Fowler already is considered among the best players without a major. It hasn’t been a lack of effort. He was runner-up at the Masters in April and had a chance at the PGA Championship last year at Quail Hollow.

“It’s not something I necessarily worry about,’’ Fowler said. “Keep putting ourselves in position, get in contention ... we have had plenty of runner-ups. Jack [Nicklaus] had a lot of runner-ups. We’ll just keep beating down that door.’’

Bellerive was accessible in muggy, soft conditions, but still plenty punishing for those who got out of position.

Tiger Woods salvaged his hopes with an important turnaround. He had to make an eight-foot bogey

Rickie Fowler started well in the chase for his first major championship.

putt on the 10th hole to start his round, put a wedge into the water and made double bogey on his next hole and had a couple of par saves that kept it from being worse.

But with a birdie at the turn, another to start the back nine and solid play the rest of the way, he scratched out a 70.

“A lot of things could happen.

Not a lot them were positive,’’ Woods said. “But I hung in there and turned it around. Just happy to be within five right now.’’

Ian Poulter, Jason Day and Stewart Cink were among seven players at 67, while Hideki Matsuyama and Webb Simpson were part of the group at 68. Justin Thomas, trying to join Woods as

the only back-to-back winners of the PGA in stroke play, let a good start slip away. He was three under through six holes and didn’t see a putt go in the rest of the day, two of them for par. He shot 69.

Fowler has seen plenty of celebrations at majors, but only for his friends. He hung around to congratulate Thomas last year at Quail Hollow, Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson at the British Open.

Perhaps his time is coming.

He birdied each of the par 5s, one with a long bunker shot to 8 feet on No. 8 toward the end of his round. He holed a few mediumlength putts for birdie, and the bonus came at the par-4 seventh when he holed a birdie from 30 feet away on the fringe.

More than anything, it was clean golf. Fowler missed only three greens and putted for birdie on all but two holes.

“I’ve always been a good midiron and long-iron player,’’ Fowler said. “So, you get me in the fairway and, with the soft greens, I feel like we can pick apart the golf course, as long as continue to play smart and within ourselves. All you can do is get off to a good start Thursday, and we did that.’’

Fowler wasn’t convinced the lead would hold up, even as the wind began to increase at Bellerive for afternoon starters like Spieth and Dustin Johnson.

The only other time Fowler had the lead to himself in a major was after the opening round of the U.S. Open last year at Erin Hills. He wound up tied for fifth, another close call.

With rain earlier in the week, and the muggy heat requiring water on the green, low scoring was available. One-third of the morning starters broke par.

For others, it was a struggle.

Phil Mickelson made two double bogeys, one by hitting into the water on the par-3 third hole, another by three-putting from 20 feet. He opened with a 73, still better than the 79 he started with last

year in the PGA at Quail Hollow.

Ryder Cup hopeful Tony Finau played with U.S. captain Jim Furyk and shot 74.

Woods looked as if he might be headed down that path with his bogey-double bogey start.

Maybe it was all in the shirt.

He ducked into a portable toilet after his tee shot on No. 12 to change out of a sweat-drenched shirt, though he said he typically does that in the summer after a range session before his round.

Whatever the case, he followed with a tap-in birdie and eventually settled into his round.

Day, who won the PGA Championship three years ago at Whistling Straits, made his only bogey from a back bunker on the par-3 sixth. That also was the only green in regulation he missed. It felt easy at times, but not to everyone.

“There can be two different people walk off in the same group thinking it’s the hardest golf course in the world only because you may be on the wrong side of hitting it in the rough ... and a guy that’s flushed it all day long thinking it’s a really relatively easy golf course,’’ Day said. “If you can strike your way around this golf course, you’ll walk off thinking it’s pretty simple.’’

Forever in Our Hearts

Love You Forever Heather; Adam, Jenn, Rylan, Cole; Derek, Terine

A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill.

A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled.

Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts

Sharon Lynne Neill (Mitchell) It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Sharon Lynne Neill (Mitchell) of Kamloops, BC on May 28, 2018 after a short but valiant fight against cancer.

She is survived by her children Corey (Candice), Hilary (Brent) and Avery (Stephanie) and her treasured granddaughters Aria and Isabelle, brothers Russ Mitchell of Coquitlam, Derek and sister-in-law Deret Mitchell, nieces Tracy Mitchell and Lori (Laurent) Roy all of Salmon Arm, nephews Paul Mitchell (Mar) of Connecticut and Aaron (Sandra) of Kelowna. Her very close cousins from Kamloops Carol (Larry) Tyssen, Judy Russell, Doug (Anne) Bryden, Valerie (John) Smith of Victoria and special extended family Eileen (John) Fisher and their children Chelsea and Graham of Calgary, Randy Heslop of Kamloops, Ev Dunne of Cranbrook and Kayla Maynard of Williams Lake. Many more extended family to numerous to name, from all over BC, Canada and England. Predeceased by her parents Andrew and Minnie Mitchell and special cousin Margaret Heslop.

She was born in Salmon Arm and moved to Kamloops soon after, Mum lived the majority of her life on 10th and Pine. She spent her years before marriage working at Newell’s Florist and transitioned into working at United Church preschool for many years after completing her Early Childhood Education Degree.

Mum enjoying shaping the minds of all the children she taught over the years. Sharon retired from teaching to look after her mum Minnie Mitchell on a more full time basis until her passing. Sharon then went on to working at Superstore for many years as a greeter, where she

WORKSHOP

enjoyed seeing family, friends and former students come through the door. Always having a sticker or a stamp for the hands of children, she was well regarded for bringing smiles to children wherever she went. She even had the pleasure of playing Mrs. Claus up at Aberdeen Mall for a holiday season where her skills in calming upset kids came in handy.

Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner

Upon full retirement Mum loved going for lunch with the “cousins” and spending as much time as possible with her two granddaughters. Mum had many long time friends and neighbours who will miss her dearly, always baking cookies or giving them fruits and vegetables from her garden. Mum always had open doors for any of the friends of her kids, often renting rooms to them when they had no place to go and taking them under her wing. She always had a special place in her heart for any of our closest friends and regarded them all as family.

A Celebration of Life was held in June with close family and the burial at Hillside Cemetery will take place Monday, August 13, 2018 at 11:00 am. Anyone wanting to pay their respects are welcome to attend.

The family requests no flowers, instead donations to RIH Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society in Sharon’s name would be greatly appreciated.

Sawako Kitazaki On August 1, 2018 at the age of 81, Sawako Kitazaki passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her children Jane, Irene and Diane. She is survived by her three Scanned by daughters andCamScanner their families. She is predeceased by her husband John, father Yonojo, mother Mieko, brother Stanley, and sisterin-law Sharon.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Sawako was born in Japan and moved to Canada at the age of 21. In 1960, she married Dad. After living in Revelstoke, Louis Creek and Barriere, they moved to Kamloops in 1978.

Q. What’s a Green burial?

Over the years, she developed many friendships that she valued. She will be remembered for her generosity and abundance of food.

A. Some people only consider it “Green” if the body is wrapped in organic cotton and placed in the ground without a casket. Others think it’s “Green” if you use wood dowels and not metal screws for the casket. In Kamloops, the city’s by-laws define what’s allowed and what’s not.

Mom enjoyed her time with family and cherished the moments with her grandchildren Jen, Anika, Jodi, Eric and Kiana and granddog Molly. She appreciated travelling and the experiences gained.

We will remember her as a caring, generous, thoughtful, funny and humble person. ! !

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Hollman and to those who provided community and home support services. Thank you to family and friends who provided help, offered support and kindly expressed their condolences.

As per mom’s request, there will be no funeral.

RACK ‘EM: Ribfest returns for another saucy year Craft beer a new addition to this year’s food and beverage lineup MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

estern Canada’s largest rib festival is back for its seventh year in Kamloops and this time visitors can pair their saucy meat treats with local craft beers.

The Noble Pig, Red Collar Brewing Co. and Iron Road Brewing will be serving up suds at the beer garden for the first time at the annual fundraiser hosted by the Daybreak Rotary Club of Kamloops.

Adding local brews to Ribfest is an initiative that’s been in the works since the festival started back in 2012, Ribfest spokesperson Bryce Herman told KTW. “It’s taken this long to come up with a formula that would work,” Herman said. “The biggest problem is capacity.”

Herman said the decision for this year was to “walk before we run,” so the local breweries will only be on site for Sunday.

Six Canadian-based championship teams from B.C. to Ontario are returning from last year to dish out their best ribs and sauce at Riverside Park Friday through Sunday. Judging takes place Saturday at 3 p.m.

The festival will be open each of the three days from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Ribfest has plenty for families to enjoy, including a family-friendly beer garden that has 350 more

seats than last year due to high demand. There is also be a family fun zone running all weekend in the east end of the park, which will include bouncy castles, ventriloquists and watermelon eating contests.

Though it was cancelled last year due to smoky conditions, the Kamloops Dragon Boat Festival will return Saturday alongside Ribfest.

Teams from across the province are coming to compete on the South Thompson River off the shores of the Riverside Park beach, with racing expected to run from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Smoky conditions in Kamloops this week are expected to lift in time for Ribfest this year, according to Environment Canada.

Ribfest’s invitational car show is scheduled for Sunday morning between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. with about 60 vehicles expected to be on display in the parking lot of Heritage House.

The show will be one last opportunity to check out some of the hot rods that will grace Victoria Street on Saturday between First and Sixth avenues for the 24th annual Hot Nite in the City show and shine.

The show and shine begins Friday with a poker run of vehicles between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. About 85 cars will make stops at retirement homes and A&Ws around town, finishing at the restaurant in Aberdeen.

Boss Hog’s out of London, Ont., is one of six returning Ribbers at this year’s Ribfest. Others include Gator BBQ, House of Q, Misty Mountain BBQ, Prairie Smoke and Spice and Smoke and Bones BBQ.

“We have a lot of nice stuff from out of town coming and there’s a lot of new in-town stuff,” said Hot Nite chair Ron Popove.

Downtown will be filled with street rods, American muscle cars, motorcycles and vintage vehicles on display from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.on Saturday. Awards for the top cars get started at about 4 p.m.

Over at Ribfest there will be

many musical performances at the Rotary Bandshell stage all weekend long for Ribfest, with tribute bands capping off each night’s entertainment in the 7:30 p.m. time slot.

The Hip Show — a Tragically Hip tribute band — takes the stage Friday. Eagle Eyes pays homage to the 1970s rock band the Eagles Saturday and Beatles tribute band The Beatles Experience will fill

the Sunday show.

Ribfest saw between 52,000 and 55,000 total visitors in 2017, compared to 60,000 in 2016.

Herman said this year he expects to see a similar numbers to last year and has recruited local company Hummingbird Drones to take aerial footage of the grounds in order to help get a better count of visitors this year.

Dimpker brothers, to perform at stages in and near Kamloops, talk influences and connection to Sekou Swedish duo will play Music in the Park and Roots and Blues DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

U.S. political climate reflected in powerful songs of Rev. Sekou DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

here’s a reason the songs of Rev. Osagyefo Sekou — better known as Rev. Sekou — carry strong messages.

He’s a man who up until 2014 preached his messages from a pulpit, who spent much of the 1990s teaching alternatives to gang violence and ran a fellowship centre at a housing project in his hometown of St. Louis, Mo. Music was always part of his life, he said, and he attended college on a vocal performance scholarship courtesy of St. Louis’ “rich tradition of choral directors,” he said, and the reality the music programs in many high schools were like feeders to postsecondary choral music opportunities.

He’s bringing his musical message to B.C. for the first time — he’s only been in Canada to perform once before, in Toronto last year — when he performs at this year’s Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs in the fairgrounds there from Aug. 16 to Aug. 19.

Sekou said he and his backup singers and band “will play what we play and just try to get free,” a sentiment that speaks as much to what motivates and drives his songwriting and activism as it does his musical set list.

Perhaps moreso.

Sekou said while he preaches now and then when invited to do so, he left his church four years ago this week, when teenager Michael Brown was shot dead in Ferguson, Mo. “I left the pulpit and headed to the streets,” Sekou said.

He was arrested there twice, once for praying in front of the riot police dispatched to quell the uprising over the police shooting of the 18-year-old black youth and once alongside friend and fellow activist Cornel West at a protest in front of the Ferguson police department.

Since then, he’s co-written with West a book on what happened in that community after Brown’s death, And the Young Ones Shall Lead Them: The Ferguson Rebellion and the Crisis in Black Leadership, as well as a news article, “The clergy’s place is with the protesters in Ferguson.”

In 2015, he was one of the honourees in Ebony Power 100, an annual event of Ebony Magazine that honours outstanding black Americans.

During a confrontation last year in Charlottesville, Va., between rallying white supremacists and those who don’t share those beliefs, Sekou ended up inside a church with hundreds of more people. They sang because, as he said at that time, “when we can do nothing else, we’ll sing a song.”

He led protesters in This Little Light of Mine.

Reminded of it during the KTW interview, Sekou said singing is an existential victor in face of legislative defeats,” something the black American community has been fighting for 400 years.

“So what we’re seeing today [in the Donald Trump presidency] is clearly new but definitely familiar.”

Sekou will kick off the evening set on Saturday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m. on the main stage. Earlier that day, he’ll be at the barn stage alongside the Dimpker Brothers at 11:40 a.m. and the blues stage at 4:15 p.m.

artin and Adam Dimpker know the kind of reaction the audience will have when they perform this month in the area.

When they take to the Rotary Bandshell for Music in the Park on Aug. 17, people will get what they expect — easy-listening folkypop songs the two brothers from Sweden have written through the years.

When they go on stage later that weekend at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival to open for their travelling musical mate, Martin knows they’ll be surprised “because we open and it’s our music and then we become an Arkansas Delta blues band” when that other touring musician, Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, comes on.

The two acts met by accident at a music festival in Sweden.

Sekou, known for his Delta blues/ Memphis soul sound needed a band for his gig. The festival promoter, also manager for the brothers, knew they were versatile enough to handle that requirement.

Two days before showtime and with just one rehearsal, Sekou not only was sold on them but decided to bring the Dimpkers along with him for his Canadian tour.

For the Salmon Arm events, the brothers will be joined by a bass player and drummer “so we’ll be four Swedish dudes in their 20s” backing up songs like We Comin, In Times Like These and other songs steeped in the blues.

The brothers credit two inspirations for their musical journey that started more than a decade ago.

First there was their mom, an opera singer and church musi-

cian, who ensured all four of her children studied music.

It grabbed hold of Martin and Adam, who had their first public gig when they were 14 and 11, respectively. In the audience were people from around the area who were taken with the boys’ talent and booked them as well.

“So we had a little tour going,” Martin said, “and were playing for 10 or 15 people who had coffee and listened to us.”

Mom and dad did the chauffeuring until Martin was old enough to get his driver’s licence.

The second influencer was watching the documentary The Last Waltz, which chronicled the final public performance of The Band.

“When we watched it, we discovered what kind of music we want to make,” Martin said.

It wasn’t so much any one band in the show at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom that made its mark, as it was realizing “oh, you can do music like that and we can do music we want to do, as well.”

Their songwriting careers were sparked into action with Adam, more the instrumentalist, coming up with riffs and other musical moments and Martin focusing more on the lyrics.

While they have no sibling rivalry crop up when they’re touring or performing, the same is not true when they hit the soccer pitch.

“Then, it’s a real competition,” Martin said. “Fierce competition.”

The Kamloops show on Aug. 17 starts at 7 p.m.

At Roots and Blues, the brothers are on the barn stage with Rev. Sekou at 11:40 a.m., the blues stage on Aug. 18 again with Rev. Sekou at 4:15 p.m. and the next day on their own on the shade stage at 2:55 p.m.

arts&entertainment Exploring the antihero in The Punisher: War Machine T kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek

his week we’re checking out the current run of Marvel Comics’ popular antihero and vigilante, the Punisher.

Frank Castle was a stand-up family man, as well as a decorated veteran soldier, until his wife and two children were killed by the mob after witnessing a murder in New York's Central Park. Losing everything, Castle

plies his deadly skills from the Marine Corps with lethal efficiency.

After avenging

his family, Castle now calls himself the Punisher, waging a one-man war against the mob, organized crime, gangs and any other low-life criminals that threaten the innocent.

The Punisher’s biggest struggle has always been he’s waging a war he cannot win as he’s just one man against an unending supply of

criminals in need of punishment.

The vast majority of super heroes in the Marvel Universe see Castle as no better than the criminals he fights against and not one of the good guys.

Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., views the Punisher as a tool he can use to correct an international crisis — the failed democratic

republic of Chernaya has been overtaken by military warlord Armand Petrov with the help of some rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Fury needs the Punisher to remove this threat before conflict escalates.

The Punisher may be a one-man army but he's going to need a lot of help to take on an entire army in a war torn foreign coun-

try all by himself.

Fury provides the location of a United States naval air base housing some hightech weaponry. Fury promises the tech will level the playing field as long as Punisher can snatch it without causing any casualties and returns it when he's finished the mission.

The tech turns out to be the heavily armed War Machine armour created by genius Tony Stark, Iron Man. As he tries to locate Petrov soon after arriving in Chernaya, Punisher finds the oppressed public are good people in dire need of salvation.

Luckily, breaking up the forced labor camps turns out to be a great way of attracting attention.

Unluckily, the rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have armour suits of their own that is newer, more technologically advanced and they've been trained to use them.

Good thing Castle is a quick learner and resourceful, because he doesn't have his old pal Micro to maintain any combat damage sustained to the suit. Furious, Petrov globally broadcasts that Punisher's invasion of Chernaya will

kamloopsthisweek kamloopsthisweek

be retaliated with nuclear force.

At least Punisher knows he is making an impression but, with the stakes higher than ever he'll need to complete this mission fast.

Now that the word is out what will the rest of the super hero populace think about Punisher wearing their fallen comrade’s costume?

The Punisher: War Machine is written by Matthew Rosenberg, drawn by Guiu Vilanova and coloured

by Lee Loughridge.

Rosenberg performed well keeping the core of the Punisher character intact while upgrading him to a power level on par with other major super heroes.

Vilanova and Loughridge display a gritty scenic vista matching the tone of this adventure.

There is also the added bonus of Punisher’s appearance bearing a remarkable resemblance to Jon Bernthal who is currently playing the character on the Netflix series’ Daredevil and Punisher.

Taking a summer detour through Rivertown Student group stages plays for kids SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

D

es Geddes said she’s been into theatre ever since she was a little kid.

She hit the stage in high school and has become even more involved during her time at Thompson Rivers University, where she’s working toward a bachelor of arts degree and has been involved in two productions.

She started with TRU’s student production of Twelfth Night and also took part in the Directors Festival.

After she finished her first year of classes, Geddes asked what students usually did during the summer and was referred to the Rivertown Players. She decided to give it a shot, went through interviews and auditioned and was chosen to be one of the program’s three actors.

“I was so happy that I decided to go for it because it’s completely awesome,” she said.

The Rivertown Players play to kid audiences all over Kamloops

and the surrounding region. They perform in several of the city’s parks, at Sun Peaks and at festivals.

The Players’ upcoming shows include two shows at Ribfest on Friday and Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and two evening shows at Chase’s CornStock Festival on Tuesday at 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. A complete schedule with dates to Aug. 25 can be found on the Rivertown Players Facebook page.

Geddes’ fellow performers include Zack Fernstrom and Ashley Hiibner — both of whom will be graduating next year and won’t return to the Players.

That means she’s learning what she can this year with the expert help of her veteran co-performers.

“I’d just like to be able to help next year’s Players like Ashley and Zack helped me,” she said.

Geddes and company also have the help of Project X Theatre’s Melissa Purcha, who is serving as a mentor for the group.

“She helps with decisions and she’s been teaching us stage combat for our superhero shows. She’s a dream to be around,” Geddes said.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The Rivertown Players, Zack Fernstrom, Ashley Hiibner and Des Geddes, perform at parks and festivals across the region, including this “busk stop” location at the recent International Buskers Festival in downtown Kamloops.

Among the duties of a Rivertown Player is the creation of two original plays — one each for July and August.

Geddes’ August production is Tack’s Summer Camp Spectacular, the story of Tacks and Gurgi, two counsellors at Blue Lake Camp

who show newcomers what camp life is all about.

The writing process was a new one to Geddes, who told KTW that, despite her love of writing, she’d never done anything like this before and didn’t feel ready.

“It was very intimidating at

first. It’s so much. I didn’t expect a half-hour play for children to be so long,” she said.

Now, having penned two plays for the Players, Geddes said she plans to keep writing and is hoping to enter a playwriting competition at TRU this coming year.

They’re going back to school.

comedic connection brought Nicole and Adrian Mancini together and the married couple is now bringing the laughs back to Kamloops.

House of Hilarity, an improv comedy show first started in the Tournament Capital back in 2003, will return this Sunday at the Rivershore Golf Course.

Nicole Mancini produced the first show in 2003, and has performed it many times since in other cities around Western Canada.

That first show involved her inviting a few friends to perform who in turn invited Adrian.

He had no experience with improv, though he had taken some theatre classes at Thompson Rivers University.

That 2003 show was how they met, but Nicole ended up moving to Edmonton and it wasn’t until 10 years later that the pair wound up together after reconnecting via Facebook.

Adrian was still living in Kamloops, but commuting to northern

Alberta for work.

“And the rest is history,” Adrian said.

The Mancini’s moved back to Kamloops in 2016 after living for some time in Blind Bay and Vancouver.

“When we realized we wanted to have a family and we knew we didn’t want to raise them in downtown Vancouver, that’s when we looked at moving home,” Adrian said.

Nicole is born-andraised in Kamloops and the city feels like home to Adrian.

“I’ve lived here longer than anywhere else,” he said.

About eight months ago, the couple began tossing around the idea of rekindling the show and were targeting a Christmas show, but not enough of their friends were able to join in.

As residents of Rivershore, they were eventually able to do a show right in their backyard and took advantage of the opportunity.

Sunday will be the first time the show has been performed in Kamloops in 15 years.

Adrian, Nicole and Harmony Maher are returning members of the original show.

They’ll be bolstered

by the talented comedy minds of Alicia Ashcroft, Derek Rein and Courtney Harris.

While he hates to sound cliché, Adrian admitted that most people associate improv with the TV show Who’s Line is it Anyway? and their show will take on a similar format.

“We’ll be doing a series of games [with] two halves to the show,” he said. “We’ll have as much audience participation as we can.”

Each game will last a few minutes with a different combination of the actors involved in each set.

“It’s a pretty traditional improv format as far as short form improv goes,” he said.

While they’d love to be able to do this show again and again, Adrian said that because many of them have families and other commitments, they’ll “start with this first show and see where it goes.”

Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door for what is sure to be an intimate, cabaretstyle, 19+ show, with the actors right in front of the audience.

“We want the audience to have some fun and just come and enjoy themselves, have a drink, have an appy and laugh,” he said.

arts&entertainment Bill Clinton’s debut novel is million seller CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Bill Clinton is a now a million-selling novelist.

The President is Missing, a thriller co-written with James Patterson, has more than 1 million combined hardcover, e-book and audio sales in North America alone since coming out June 4. The book is Clinton’s first of work of fiction, but in Patterson he had one of the world’s most prolific and successful novelists for a collaborator. Reviews were mixed, but Barnes & Noble fiction buyer Sessalee Hensley said in a statement released Wednesday by co-publishers Alfred A. Knopf

and Little Brown and Co. that The President is Missing had benefited from “very strong’’ word of mouth.

“In a summer marked by nonfiction successes, this novel has proven to have remarkable legs,’’ Hensley said.

The book’s subject has also proved timely: a potentially devastating cyberattack, which intelligence experts have called a leading concern.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in mid-July that “the warning lights are blinking red’’ about a possible attack and called Russia the “most aggressive foreign actor, no question.’’

The Clinton-Patterson novel has dominated fiction charts.

According to NPD BookScan, which tracks around 85 per cent of the hardcover and paperback market, The President is Missing is by far the year’s biggest fiction seller and the only fiction work to crack the top 10 of the bestsellers overall for 2018. Nonfiction releases such as Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury and James Comey’s A Higher Loyalty have been attracting the most sales.

Clinton, whose previous books include the memoir My Life, is now the rare author to have million sellers in fiction and nonfiction.

Researchers use math, statistics to solve mystery of who wrote Beatles song CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — Researchers from Canada and the U.S. are using math to unravel one of the greatest musical mysteries of the modern era: Who wrote In My Life, a nostalgic rock ballad on the Beatles’ 1965 album Rubber Soul.

It’s a song both John Lennon and Paul McCartney have laid

claim to, sparking an enduring debate on the authorship of the melody.

But a new statistical model developed by researchers at Dalhousie and Harvard universities that was used to analyze multiple Lennon-McCartney songs has concluded that Lennon likely penned In My Life.

Jason Brown, a mathematics professor at Dalhousie, says the

researchers analyzed the Beatles music using five main categories — melody notes, sequences of notes, chords, pairs of chords and melodic contour. Each category was then further broken down, resulting in 149 categories for data collection.

He says the model, which is 80 per cent accurate, found a 98 per cent probability that Lennon wrote In My Life.

Van used by rock icons Aerosmith in 1970s found in the woods near small town CANADIAN PRESS

CHESTERFIELD, Mass. — Long before Aerosmith filled stadiums with tens of thousands of fans, the band travelled New England in a tiny van playing to smaller crowds.

That dilapidated van has been found in the woods of a

small Massachusetts town.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, hosts of the History Channel show American Pickers, located the van in Chesterfield, a town of about 1,200 residents 100 miles west of Boston.

The property owner said the 1964 International Harvester Metro van was there when he 35

bought the land from someone with a connection to Aerosmith.

Ray Tabano, a founding member of Aerosmith, confirmed it was the van the rockers used in the 1970s.

The pickers paid $25,000 for it. Wolfe says it’s “a piece of American rock and roll history.’’
