Lauchlan Fraser speaks at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

$2.5 million for industrial research chair GRANT WILL ESTABLISH CENTRE FOR ECOSYSTEM RECLAMATION AT TRU DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University will finally be able to create its Centre for Ecosystem Reclamation, thanks to a $2.5 million award of an industrial-research chair position through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

Lauchlan Fraser has received the five-year grant, which can be renewed at the end of the term.

Partners that have supported TRU in the establishment of the IRC include Metro Vancouver, New Gold New Afton mine, Teck Highland Valley Copper mine, Genome British Columbia, the Real Estate Foundation of BC, Arrow Transportation, Geoscience BC, Kinder Morgan Canada, and the BC Cattlemen’s Association, who have collectively pledged $1.8 million. The additional federal amount of $875,000 is one of the largest research grants in TRU’s history.

The centre is the first of its kind in Canada.

Fraser, a biologist who came to TRU in 2004, said the grant comes at the end of a lot of work by many people, both on and off campus. Among the partners who have supported the project and

AND COUNTRY CLUB

will continue to do so are Teck-Highland Valley Copper, the Metropolitan Metro Vancouver, Afton-New Gold, Genome BC, the B.C. Real Estate Foundation, Arrow Transportation, Kinder Morgan, Geosciences BC and the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association.

The work to be done in the centre is basically aimed at “healing the earth,” said Will GarrettPetts, associate vice-president of research at TRU. Fraser explained the focus is understanding “land restoration following a disturbance,” something that could be as invasive as mining, where much of the work will be focused, but also as destructive as the wildfires that come annually to the province.

For example, Fraser said, he has a student about to publish a paper on how smoke can speed up germination of seeds, which could lead to a more practical way of applying smoke to seeds that will respond to it.

In the past, Fraser has said the work to be done is “research that makes an impact,” work that looks at ecosystems and how and why they change to determine their functions.

A handful of dirt, for example, could hold more than one-million potential microsystems that can provide information through study that relates back to restoring the environment.

While the Afton and Teck mines will be domi-

nant in the studies — sites are already at each location for research work to be done — Fraser and his students have also looked at the Mount Polley Mine tailings-pond breach, using genomics to monitor and assess the microbial processes in heavy-metal remediation.

That research, Fraser has said, could potentially provide a base for future standards in mine closures and reclamation.

“I’m very grateful for all the support that TRU has provided. This has been a huge team effort,” Fraser said, referring specifically to Christopher Seguin, the late vice-president of advancement at TRU, who supported the establishment of an industrial research chair from the outset.

“He was my champion. He realized from the start that this would be good for the university, and he was very good at creating momentum.

This wouldn’t have happened without him and he deserves a lot of the credit for this,” Fraser said.

“We will advance and enhance research currently taking place to find ways to increase the speed with which we can restore disturbed ecosystems,” Fraser explained.

“We’ll be moving into new research areas, pushing forward and expanding the envelope of our understanding.

“The real work begins now.”

Will you detect a hint of smoke in that future glass of wine?

TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Winemakers can only hope the scent of wildfire smoke in the air across British Columbia’s Interior won’t swirl in the glass once this year’s vintages have been bottled, but a pair of Kamloops wineries are not worried about it.

Smoke-shrouded grapes can give an ashy, bitter flavour to wine and tests have been developed to help growers assess the quality of their grapes, said researcher Matt Noestheden, a PhD student at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Kelowna.

“For this season, time will tell.

If I could [predict the quality], I would be a rich man,’’ he said.

“We are currently working this year on ways that might be able to protect the grapes, but there is nothing that grape growers can do that will definitely protect the grapes.’’

Shelley Thompson, coowner of Sagewood Winery in Kamloops, said smoke was more of an issue for the 2017 season than this summer.

“Last year, the smoke we had in our skies had a minimal effect for us,” she said.

“And this year, in comparison, we’re experiencing less smoke.

We’re not really anticipating as much of an impact as there was last year.”

Red wine grapes, such as the pinot noir variety that is planted widely in the Okanagan, change colour from green to red in a process known as veraison.

That process is now underway in the region, Noestheden said, noting wineries dodged danger last year because smoke

from wildfires happened early in the growing season and not as the grapes were changing colour.

“That two- to three-week period from full veraison until a couple of weeks after that is where the grapes seem to be the most susceptible to the problem,’’ he said.

Spokeswoman Ashley Demedeiros said Monte Creek Ranch Winery in Kamloops began harvest this week, which means its grapes will spend less time under smoky skies than at wineries in the Okanagan.

“Our varietals that we planted also ripen quite early, so there’s less time the grapes are left on the ground and less chance of smoke taint,” she said.

The B.C. government’s air quality health index, which includes a measurement of particulate matter, listed the Okanagan and Kamloops at 10+ (very high risk) on Thursday.

Bulletins warning of smoky skies from Environment Canada said communities in the Interior of B.C. would likely see further deterioration in air quality through the week as westerly winds are forecast to blow wildfire smoke into the region.

Noestheden is working with

Okanagan-based Supra Research and Development to identify chemical markers for smoke taint and he said wineries from B.C. to California are waiting for the outcome. He doubted Ontario wineries would be affected by wildfire smoke.

“They don’t get the quantity of smoke that we do,’’ he said.

The tests developed with Supra research are being applied in field trials and the findings could offer solutions for grape growers in regions where wildfire smoke lingers.

“Now we feel that we can understand the chemistry enough that we can start to think about ways to insulate the grapes in the field,’’ Noestheden said. “We are also looking at ways that winemakers can augment their fermentation to mitigate the impact that the smoke might have on the final taste and aroma of that particular wine.’’

The best solution this year for anxious winemakers is to make and sip a small batch of wine immediately after the grapes are harvested, he said.

“We are trying to push that timeline further back so winemakers can plan their fermentations accordingly, but right now, the best advice is to make the wine and taste it.’’

While she’s not stressing the smoke, Thompson said it could delay Sagewood’s harvest.

“What we are seeing for this season is cooler temperatures, less direct sun and filtered sunlight,” she said.

“So, it may push back our harvest, but at this point, we’re not expecting any kind of an impact from the smoke we’ve had this year.”

LEFT OUT OF A WILL? Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will?

Losing a parent or spouse can be devastating, and you may find yourself in a situation where his or her estate has left you with far less than you were expecting, or to which you may be entitled.

In B.C., when a parent or spouse dies, you have a narrow window of time to challenge a Will and if a court finds that the deceased hasn’t made adequate provision for you, it has the ability to change the Will. But, if you fail to bring a claim within the time limits, you will not be able to challenge the Will.

A tale of two wildfire seasons is in the data Thompson Rivers University professor Michael Mehta shows one of a group of air quality sensors that are installed around Kamloops, giving an accurate real-time view of air quality readings.

KTW FILE PHOTO

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

While the summer of 2017 in Kamloops saw a significantly longer duration of continuous smoke from wildfires, this summer has seen dramatically higher 24-hour averages of micrograms per cubic metre of particulate matter (PM2.5).

PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate matter that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about three per cent the diameter of a human hair and easily ingested into lungs.

The above findings come from PurpleAir sensors at intermediate (Hugh Allan Drive in lower Aberdeen) and lower (Moody Avenue in Brocklehurst) that captured 24-hour averages between the beginning of July 2017 to Aug. 22 of this year.

“It’s difficult to determine which of these patterns is worse from an overall public health perspective,” Michael Mehta told KTW in an interview by email. Mehta is a professor in the department of geography and environmental studies at Thompson Rivers University.

“Longer periods of pollution at high levels are highly problematic, but larger spikes of pollution create their own problems,” he said.

“Air pollution has cumulative effects and some may find this summer appears worse to them precisely because of what they were exposed to last summer.”

Mehta noted the

provincial 24-hour average target for PM2.5 is 25 micrograms/m3, a threshold he argues is too high.

This summer, 24-hour peal readings have approached 325 at the Hugh Allan location, while the summer of 2017 saw peaks hit the 225 mark.

While there isn’t much the average Kamloopsian can do about forest fire smoke, Mehta said there is much government can do in response to the haze.

Watching population health trends carefully, providing solid and helpful advice on how to reduce exposure and developing policies that reduce the overall annual burden are some of his suggestions.

“When these events happen, people need timely information,” Mehta said.

“Hence my emphasis on real-time data and distributed networks.

Additionally, not everyone is equally at risk or affected.

“The risk communication coming from Interior Health and the Ministry of Environment is inadequate and somewhat evasive. There is also a role for local government and during fire events local governments should have clear guidelines to help organizations make risk-based decisions about cancellation/ rescheduling of events.”

Mehta said some may see summer wildfire smoke as the new normal and as justification for continuing with current industry practices.

“They may see the contribution of industrial polluters in the region, transportation and even residential wood-burning

practices as inconsequential when compared with the smoke storms ushered in during this era that we will call the pyrocene,” Mehta said.

“Now that these events are happening with, perhaps, some regularity — two years isn’t a pattern per se — it’s even more important to improve our air sheds, respiratory health and to design sustainable and resilient cities and communities that do not contribute to climate change and air pollution.”

Mehta said airsheds need to be cleaned up to minimize consequences from cumulative effects over time.

“This is where cities need to develop better transportation plans, electrify rail and vehicle fleets, change building codes to require air handling/HEPA standard and look at setting up sensor networks so that people can use to avoid pollution on a daily basis,” he said.

“For example, changing the route that children use to walk to school by just a bit to avoid vehicular pollution can make a significant impact on sick days from asthma, etc.

“We may also want distribute N95 masks to the poor and homeless people in the city.”

FACT AND OPINION ARE VERY DIFFERENT

T

here’s a difference between an opinion and a fact, which is important to remember as we draw closer to the Oct. 20 civic election.

In the last couple of years, many popular print and digital news sources — especially in the United States — have pushed the boundaries of traditional reporting to the point where it is sometimes difficult to tell where the story ends and the commentary begins.

That is mostly the result of the bizarre political climate south of the border, as well as the unavoidable evolution of 24-7 news coverage.

This popular quote about journalism sums the position up fairly well: “If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the window and find out which is true.”

KTW will often follow a slightly modified approach. It’s important to quote all relevant and available voices on an issue (even if someone says it’s raining and it really doesn’t seem to be) and then supply context and documentation.

If Jack says it’s raining and Jill says it isn’t raining, they both get quoted. Then we call Environment Canada and get them to confirm what the weather is actually doing.

Everyone gets some ink. The paper might later editorialize on rain, but that is entirely separate and cannot be confused with news. On a related note, we can’t and won’t print statements that are defamatory.

It’s also something to think about when you are following social media.

Is what you are reading and responding to an opinion? Is it a fact?

As has been the case during past election campaigns, KTW will not endorse any candidate for election this fall, but we’ll cover the news and opine on issues as we normally do.

If you are eager to know who is running and why, and where and when you can vote, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the Civic Election tab. There, you will find all you need to know before casting a ballot this fall — and that’s a fact.

Championing a cause

W

e have had wildfires that were ignited by lightning, by careless people and by mechanical mishaps.

But can any of that smoke in the air trace its origins to terrorism?

It’s highly unlikely, but a news story written six years ago

by Stewart Bell, then with the National Post, offers a fascinating what-if? scenario as we prepare to emerge from two years of the worst wildfire seasons on record in B.C. In that article of June 22, 2012, Bell — now an investigative reporter for Global News — detailed a desire by al-Qaeda and other Islamist terrorist groups to target forests in the West as part of its evolution of terrorist attacks.

Inspire, al-Qaeda’s online magazine, offered page after page of why starting fires in the forests of Canada, U.S. and other NATO countries was justified.

As Bell detailed in his story, the terrorist organization also included “an illustrated step-bystep guide on how to do it, using a device made out of gasoline and a washing machine timer.”

Between lightning strikes and dopey campers and careless smokers, one would think there wouldn’t be a tree left for a martyr to light.

But, as Bell noted, the idea of a “forest jihad” could be traced back to 2007, when those bent on destroying the West pointed

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS out that setting wildfires could kill us infidels while also causing widespread pollution and economic damage.

Again, only those who see chemtrails instead of contrails in the sky will believe any of the 600-plus fires in B.C. were the work of terrorists.

After all, al-Qaeda, ISIS and other Islamist terrorist groups almost always rush to claim responsibility for attacks — even carnage for which it had no part in planning, such as last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Then again, even if one of the fires in 2017 or 2018 had been the work of terrorist sympathizers, we’d likely never know.

Trying to ascertain the cause of this fire, or that blaze, has become an exercise in futility for reporters.

We know metalwork led to July’s Shuswap Road fire only because the owner of the property where the fire originated mentioned as much to a reporter — and because

Kamloops Fire Rescue revealed the same at the conclusion of its investigation.

We know lightning caused June’s fire in Batchelor Heights because numerous people saw the strike.

But what of last year’s devastating Elephant Hill fire?

It remains under investigation by the RCMP, yet not one scant detail of its origin has been revealed.

Was it a campfire left unattended? Was it open burning on the Ashcroft Indian band reserve? Was it kids playing with fire? Was it arson?

There are a few theories being discussed online — some quite interesting — but nary an official explanation, despite repeated attempts by the media to get an answer.

The same situation smolders with the big Allie Lake fire this past spring north of Savona, where rumours include fireworks being involved.

Officials prefer to refer to either “lightning” or “person” when labelling the cause.

But “person” or humancaused fires can mean anything from a spark from a train (of which the conductor is unaware) to an arsonist with a match and a can of gasoline.

The explanation of a fire being human-caused explains very little.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AL KEMP Editor: On Saturday, Aug. 10, family, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate the life of Al Kemp, who left us on Aug. 2.

For me, it’s always heartbreaking to go to a celebration of life and to learn information you wished you had known while the person was alive.

It was certainly true in Al’s case.

He served the District of Logan Lake as a councillor for nine years before becoming mayor for another 12 years.

Remarks about Al shared by spe-

cial individuals from both the past and the present included his efforts, along with those of Al Smith, to reclaim what is now Logan Lake.

Later, he worked to move the tourist information booth into the big shovel, which has evolved into a meeting place for residents and visitors.

However, perhaps the most memorable were the actions taken

by Al and his team following the closure of Highmont Mine, actions that led to a marketing campaign that successfully brought many new residents to the community.

It was during this time, while I was working in the mayor’s office in Kamloops, that I first spoke with Al on the phone.

I was impressed with his friendliness and helpfulness and it was such a pleasure to meet him and Pat, his wife, when I moved to Logan Lake about a decade after our original phone conversation.

Among the guests of note at Al’s celebration of life were John Ranta and Mel Rothenburger, representing the board of directors of the Thompson Regional District, where Al served 12 years as a board mem-

ber and two years as chair.

In the eulogy created by Al’s family, they said: “Al was more than a father, a husband, a politician.

He was an inspiration. He was significant in the lives of so many residents and the community of Logan Lake as a whole. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed every day.”

And, in the closing words of another speaker: “We thank you for your service, we honour your legacy and, finally, we bid you farewell.”

THERE IS A CHEAP WAY TO FIX DESIGNED FLOODING IN OAK HILLS Editor: The community of Oak Hills in Westsyde has a dike and a groundwater pumping system to prevent flooding during spring runoff and rising river levels.

The pumps remove the excess water and discharge it to holding areas between the river and the dike, where it accumulates for months.

This happens in two locations along the dike, creating mosquito hatching grounds, cutting off river

trail system access and causing significant erosion of the riverbank as the water spills back into the North Thompson.

Due to this designed flooding, we now have healthy poplar trees uprooted and falling over because of this water storage and resulting ground saturation.

The solution is simple and very cheap.

The discharge water is currently pumped into concrete holding tanks,

with a grate on top to allow the excess water to flood out onto the ground.

All the city needs to do is core a hole in the side of the tank and run a plastic pipe from the tank to the river with a flapper valve at the end.

When the water gets high enough in the tank, it will drain out the pipe and back into the river.

During extremely high river water levels, the pipe discharge may be submerged, so the ponds would re-appear, but only for the period of

time that the water was cresting.

Once the river level dropped, pumped water would drain back out of the pipe.

Overlander’s Day will take place in Brock Park

7TH ANNUAL KAMLOOPS

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

Celebrating 100 years of Chevy Trucks

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The smoke that scuttled Overlander’s Day last Sunday is having a ripple effect on the event.

The annual festival held in McDonald Park on the North Shore was rescheduled for Sept. 23, but organizers have now learned the park is already booked to host the fifth annual Kidney Walk that day, leaving Overlander’s Day in need of a new location.

They found it at Brock Park, which is next to Brock Arena and outdoor pool on Fleetwood Avenue.

Kidney Walk representative Gregg Drinnan said his group has had a permit for the park since last December, reserving it from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Overlander’s Day, which is organized by the North Shore Business Improvement Association, runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

NSBIA executive director Jeremy Heighton said the con-

flicting date for McDonald Park was the result of miscommunication.

“We checked every event calendar that we could find in Kamloops and nothing was listed for September 23 [at McDonald Park], so we automatically chose that date,” Heighton said.

The group jumped the gun, however, as it hadn’t heard back from the city with regard to the park’s availability prior to announcing

the rescheduled date.

The two groups discussed the possibility of sharing the park on Sept. 23, but Drinnan said that wasn’t an option his side wished to pursue.

The concern from Kidney Walk organizers is that their message and event, which draws about 200 people, would be overshadowed by the larger Overlander’s Day festival.

“A lot of our plans have been finalized, we’ve got our own entertainment, we need the gazebo — they wanted the gazebo,” Drinnan added.

Parking was another concern.

“A lot of people with kidney disease have mobility issues and if they can’t park close, they’re just not going to take part,” Drinnan said.

He said his group offered to wrap up the walk by 12:30 p.m. giving Overlander’s Day organizers the space in the afternoon, but that didn’t work for the NSBIA. “We’re more than happy to look for an alternate space,” Heighton said.

“It’s no big deal.”

BCLC reviewing union allegations MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Lottery Corporation is reviewing the allegations from the BC Government Employees’ Union regarding Gateway Casinos operations during an ongoing labour disruption.

On Monday, demonstrators from the BCGEU marched outside BCLC headquarters in Kamloops and delivered a letter expressing concerns about security, possible attempts at money laundering and policy compliance.

BCLC board chair Peter Kappel told KTW the lottery corporation has staff on site at all casinos who constantly monitors for those types of issues, regardless of whether there is a labour dispute.

“I’m not saying their concerns aren’t founded, [but] I’m not aware of any evidence that has brought it to our attention,” Kappel said, noting the appropriate person to ask on that front would be BCLC CEO Jim Lightbody, who was not available for comment on Thursday.

“The [labour] dispute itself, which is probably the source of these particular con-

cerns, is something that is between Gateway Casinos and their employees,” Kappel said.

BCGEU employees working at casinos in Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton have been on strike for eight weeks, seeking better wages.

No negotiations have taken place since July.

The union’s concerns are based on reports from employees on the picket line at its four Thompson-Okanagan casinos.

Allegations include management failing to check identification of customers, over-serving alcohol to some patrons and, in one case, failing to identify suspicious activity commonly associated with moneylaundering.

The union said it has reason to believe some acting gaming-security officers don’t have proper certification, noting it takes 16 weeks to receive credentials from the Justice Institute of BC. The union has also questioned whether Gateway has the required level of surveillance and security at some of its casinos.

Gateway has dismissed the allegations.

Company spokesperson Tanya Gabara told KTW the BCLC has 17 investigators and 13 compliance officers working at gambling

facilities across the province.

“They have offices inside our casinos and work directly with our employees every day,” Gabara said.

In response to the claim that current gaming officers don’t have proper certification, Gabara noted they are permitted to receive their training while on the job.

“And there is always a certified security shift manager on site when the casinos are open, so we are squarely within the regulations that are set out by the province and BCLC,” Gabara said.

She also said union accusations that management is failing to check IDs and overserving customers are false, but did not provide comment with respect to more specific claims made by the union.

“I can’t speak to what they’ve observed,” Gabara said, adding the company has not received details regarding the allegations.

She said the company is operating with the appropriate level of security and surveillance as per regulations it is required to follow.

About 675 employees, including 200 from Cascades Casino in Kamloops, remain on the picket line, with no new dates set for a return to the bargaining table.

MERANTAU

A HERO’S JOURNEY Pride marshalls from Merritt September 9

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

2–4 p.m. | Sagebrush Theatre FREE – All ages welcome Follow the travels and adventures of Hamid, an apprentice from Indonesia who has been sent on an incredible journey. Be drawn in by the music, sounds and energy during a cultural festival hosted by visiting students from Indonesia. Be wowed by traditional songs, music and stories from Indonesia and learn more about this incredible country and culture.

Please join us as 130 students share their culture with Kamloops as a way of saying thank you for sharing our culture with them.

Students from Merritt who had a request for a rainbow crosswalk at their school rejected will be grand marshals at this year’s Kamloops Pride Parade.

The three students at Merritt secondary are members of the school’s LBGT Pride Club and Aboriginal Voice Youth Group. They had asked for permission to create the walkway outside their school at no cost to the city.

The school district offered to pay for the installation and upkeep. Merritt city staff recommended approval of the proposal.

The request was rejected in a 4-3 vote, with Mayor Neil Menard, who voted

against it, saying he was concerned approval could lead to similar requests to paint sidewalks or crosswalks from sports teams or service clubs.

Media coverage of the vote led to the students being offered a chance to paint two parking lots in Merritt owned by Vancouver lawyers.

The project eventually saw four rainbow walkways completed, one in the parking lot of the Merritt Coldwater Hotel, one at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and two on land owned by the Lower Nicola Indian Band.

“To see the perseverance and dedication of youth to live the values of diversity and inclusion is absolutely heartwarming,” Kamloops Pride president Kirstin McLaughlin said.

Two of the students were later invited to march in the Vancouver Pride Parade, where they met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

McLaughlin said asking the students to lead the parade was a no-brainer.

“We are so incredibly proud of these youth and the ways in which they are shaping their community for the better,” McLaughlin said.

“In hosting this year’s event on the unceded ancestral lands of the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Nation, we first sought permission and then asked what we can do as settler allies working as a pride organization within these lands.

“We received a message around youth inclusion and the importance of incorporating youth voices.”

Kamloops Pride Week events continue

EDUCATION COUNCIL

In Partnership with the INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC

Pride Week festivities continue through Sunday, when the second annual parade takes place downtown.

Friday features three stops on the Express Yourself exhibition and art crawl.

The first stop is at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St., from noon until 6 p.m. and will feature pieces created by LGBTQ2S+ artists and allies.

This stop will also serve as a place for participants to make signs for the parade.

The second stop will be at the Office of Surrealist Investigations, 135 Victoria St., between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., and feature button-making and performance art by Lino Caputo.

To land at the third stop of the art crawl, you’ll have to make your way over to Republic Gallery, 102-275 Lansdowne St., between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. There, you will find an all-ages party featuring screen printing, art and drinks.

Saturday events include the Express Yourself dance at Shark Club, 285 Lorne St., starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and go toward supporting the Kamloops Pride organization.

The main event, the second annual Kamloops Pride Parade, will take place on Sunday.

The procession begins at 11 a.m. in Riverside Park.

To wrap things up, Kamloops Pride will host an after-party at The Noble Pig

Brewhouse, 650 Victoria St., from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Throughout the entire week there will also be an ongoing window display contest, with prizes handed out for best Pride Week display for participating businesses. Voting on social media will determine a fan favourite, while the rest will be judged by panel.

“Do you guys all know what a drag queen is?” Willow Reeed asked.

“It’s a boy trying to dress up as a girl,” one child yelled in response.

“Good answer,” Reeed said.

“I knew that,” called out another kid.

Donning a blue dress, grey wig, tiara and red lipstick, Darcy Daniel dressed in drag on Thursday and read stories as Willow Reeed to children at the downtown public library.

The 27-year-old Kamloops man earlier made headlines when he made a video, in which he described a verbal homophobic attack he experienced downtown.

On Thursday, Daniel worked to quell hate in the city — teaching tolerance and acceptance to the next generation.

“I hope that kids can take away from this that they can be themselves,” he told KTW. “It’s a little scary. It’s a little terrifying at times, don’t get me wrong. It’s still for me every day. But being yourself will make you happy in the long run.”

Reeed told a packed room filled with kids of all ages that it took her two hours to do her makeup that morning.

“Does it take your moms that long to get ready in the morning?” Reeed asked.

“No,” multiple kids replied.

“How long did it take you to do your eyes?” one child asked.

“Like an hour,” Reeed said.

Reeed read to the kids four stories.

Stories without pronouns. Stories about acceptance. Stories Daniel didn’t have when he was a kid.

“Growing up, I was always taught that dressing up and stuff like that was kind of like a no-no,” he told KTW. Not Quite Narwhal, by Jessie Sima, tops her children’s book list. It tells the story of a young unicorn born under the sea to a family of narwhals. The story is about fitting in, identify and love. As Reeed finished that story, one father kissed his daughter on the head as she sat on his lap.

“That means you can do what you want,” Aaron Krausert said. “As long as you’re not hurting anyone.”

Krausert said he didn’t know Wednesday’s library visit would include Storytime with Queens. The event was held during Pride Week in Kamloops.

While Krausert taught a lesson to his daughter, he wondered about day-care kids going home and bringing up the topic of gender identity with parents around the dinner table.

“Those parents are going to be a little blindsided,” he said.

That might be the point. Daniel told KTW hate is learned, not something with

which kids are born.

“It’s something that’s taught within the family,” she said.

Nikki McKenzie brought her kids to the library to see Reeed and told another mom, Sandi Cooper, to bring her children.

“Acceptance,” McKenzie said when asked why she brought her kids.

Children were asked at the end of storytime if they would like to dress up.

“Who’s dressing up with me?” Reeed asked.

“Me!” shrieked multiple kids as arms shot up in the room.

Kids could soon be seen wearing costumes of all sorts: Spiderman with a green hat, Snow White and a girl in pink.

“I think it went amazing,” Daniel said.

“I think some of the boys were a little hesitant, but you know what, like I told my friend last night when we went out in drag for the first time here, she was a little hesitant with people viewing it and I said, ‘You know, it’s new to a lot of people.’”

Up to seven-million sockeye set to return BARB BROUWER

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

newsroom@saobserver.net

And so it begins.

Millions of late-run sockeye salmon are due to return to the Shuswap in this the dominant year of a four-year cycle.

Mike Lapointe, senior biologist with the Pacific Salmon Commission, said some 157,000 late-run sockeye have already

entered the Fraser River and test fisheries indicate another 200,000 to 250,000 are holding off near the mouth of the river.

“There’s no big build-up yet,” he said, pointing out the numbers account for between 357,000 and 407,000 of the 6.9 million forecast for Shuswap Lake late-run sockeye. “The run is building now, but they were expected to meet

their 50 per cent timing run by Aug. 17.”

Lapointe was hoping more salmon would arrive near the mouth of the Fraser River in the following days.

“It looks like it has been a slow start, but things have picked up and we’re seeing a significant abundance,” he said.

“Most of the sockeye are coming from the Juan de Fuca Strait, through the U.S. and

back up to the Fraser River.”

Lapointe said about 75 per cent of the run is coming that way, with the other 25 per cent heading from the north.

While test fisheries are giving officials a moderate degree of confidence, Lapointe has concerns for the fish that have already entered the river for the 600-kilometre-plus voyage to their Shuswap

spawning grounds.

“It’s so early to really know, but the handful of early starters have a pretty poor chance to survive to October,” he said of the peak spawning time on the Adams River. “In the first two weeks of August, the temperature in the river was 22 C or above.”

Water depth and temperature play a huge role in the survival rate of migrating sockeye, with a temperature of more than 20 C being a real cause for concern.

Comparing the river to a bathtub, Lapointe said shorter days and

cooler overnight temperatures should also help. And he’s hoping the rest of the sockeye and other stocks not yet on their way will encounter temperatures that are more hospitable.

Lapointe is also hopeful a new assessment tool that compares the ratio of laterun sockeye to early summer stocks returning to Scotch Creek, Seymour, Anstey and Eagle rivers might bode well for the Adams run.

He said estimates for the early summers are creeping up to the median forecast

of 1.8 million.

Smolts from both runs would have left for the Pacific Ocean at the same time and, if the forecast for early summer stocks proves right, it could mean later stocks will do just as well.

“If we get 1.8 [million] on the early run, it would suggest the late run might be a bit better than originally forecast,” he added.

“The smolts are reared in the lake, are coming out at the same time and in the same ocean, so, hopefully, they’ll have the same survival rate.”

There’s an app for that The BC Wildlife Federation has released an updated version of the conservation app for smartphones that will make it easier for the public to report environmental infractions they come across.

The BCWF Conservation App adds a time stamp and geo-location to a picture or video of a violation, allowing a user to categorize the incident and submit it to the appropriate enforcement agency

with just a few clicks.

The app makes it simple to report poaching, polluting, dumping or blocking access to public lands.

The update improves the information the app provides to enforcement agencies. The app also has references and contacts.

It features the latest fishing and hunting regulations, improved user interface and better map detail.

Watch for these roadwork projects in Kamloops Three road projects got underway this week in the city.

The first began on Wednesday.

The city has hired KLL Construction LTD. to construct a sidewalk from 1920 Hugh Allan Dr. to Lodgepole Drive in Pineview Valley.

As a result, a bus stop on the north side of the street will be relocated.

The project will continue through September.

On Thursday, a weeklong project began to repair the Eighth Street overpass deck at Halston

Avenue on the North Shore.

Cortez Construction has been hired to facilitate that project. The work will mainly occur at night between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. but some traffic impacts will happen during the day.

The northbound route will be single-lane between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., while the southbound route will be single-lane from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Traffic will be singlelane in both directions from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

BRIEFS Finally, on Friday, work will begin on pedestrian upgrades in Westsyde.

The upgrades will occur on Bank Road between Jenson and Stansfield roads. KLL Construction LTD has been hired to remove the existing asphalt and install a pedestrian shoulder and driveways, sidewalks, driveway and boulevard restoration

and paint pavement markings.

Work is expected to wrap up in early fall and Rivers Trail users are advised to exercise caution along the trail during that time.

GREEN FORUM B.C. Green MLA Adam Olsen (Saanich North and the Islands) will be in Kamloops this weekend to host a community forum and to march in the second annual Kamloops Pride Parade.

Olsen will host a community forum to discuss

the first year of the B.C. Green caucus working with the B.C. NDP minority government. Olsen will answer questions from residents regarding key issues in their community.

The forum will take place on Saturday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Cordillera Room at the Sandman Signature,

at Second Avenue and Lorne Street in downtown Kamloops.

RED LIGHT Severed wires for the red-light camera now in operation at the intersection of Fortune Drive and Eighth Street on the North Shore led to some unexpected repair work at the intersection.

The intersection underwent a major reconstruction earlier this year.

The light, the only one of its kind in the city, was to be back into business when construction was completed. That project was to improve visibility and safety at the intersection, which regularly sees many accidents.

Drunk driver busted in RCMP parking lot Man from Northern B.C. told police he pulled into the lot in order to place a phone call KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A drunk driver from Northern B.C. picked the wrong downtown Kamloops lot to park in on Saturday and will now be without a licence for three months.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an officer at the Mounties’ Battle Street detachment noticed the driver of a pickup truck attempting to park in the secured lot behind the building and went to investigate.

“When questioned by the officer as to why he drove into a secure parking lot with visible signs saying it was closed to the public, the driver said he had no idea [he] had pulled into a police station,” she said.

“Since the driver had an overpowering odour of liquor coming from his breath and showed other signs of impairment, the officer used a roadside screening device to determine his level of impairment. It showed the driver was, in fact, impaired.”

The driver told the Mountie he was looking for a place to park so he could make a phone call, Shelkie said, noting the driver was handed a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition.

“Kamloops RCMP remind motorists that it is never safe to drink and drive, on roads, highways or in police parking lots,” she said.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A five-hour standoff in North Kamloops began after Mounties were told someone was being held against their will in a house.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police received information on Wednesday afternoon that a person was being confined to a house in the 400-block of Royal Avenue.

As a result, Mounties cordoned off the area, called in the emergency response team and employe the use of a police negotiator, evacuating some neighbours from their homes in the process.

Shelkie said officers managed to call out several people from the home — including the the person allegedly being held against their will — but a man remained inside and refused to leave.

The man, a 25-year-old Kamloops resident known to police, was finally arrested just after 11 p.m. The investigation is ongoing.

Bernier quits Tories, lays rhetorical waste to Conservative party MIA ROBSON, JANICE DICKSON

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Maxime Bernier declared open war on his own party Thursday as the outspoken and controversial Conservative MP abruptly quit the Tory caucus, announced plans for a new political movement and derided his former leader and colleagues as “intellectually and morally corrupt.’’

With Conservative caucus members gathering in Halifax for a policy convention that was expected to bring the Bernier boil to a head, the Beauce MP instead stayed behind, summoning journalists to a snap news conference that proved breathtaking in its defiance.

“I am no longer a Conservative,’’ he declared after reading a scathing diatribe against his party and its leader, Andrew Scheer — the Saskatchewan MP who narrowly edged Bernier out of the leadership job last year in a loss some have suggested he never got over.

“I am now convinced that what we will get if Andrew Scheer becomes prime minister is just a more moderate version of the disastrous Trudeau government,’’ he said.

“I have come to realize over the past year that this party is too intellectually and morally corrupt to be reformed.’’

With the aftershocks still reverber-

ating, Scheer emerged in Halifax to fire back.

Bernier “is more interested in advancing his personal profile than advancing Conservative principles,’’ Scheer said.

“He has decided that he is more important than his Conservative colleagues and indeed the Conservative party. He has traded an opportunity to influence policy in government for his own personal ambition.’’

Bernier said he plans to contact Elections Canada immediately about the path towards creating a new party and will spend the next several weeks travelling the country to meet with people interested in joining his cause.

Bernier’s decision is driven by ego, according to Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod.

“He’s made his decision and I think his decision is about ego and his loss in the last [leadership] election,”she said about her now former colleague.

McLeod said the Quebec MP had “many opportunities to be incredibly influential on caucus [meetings] on policy, but he would never participate.” She said his statements claiming he was denied the right to share his viewpoints are not accurate.

McLeod added that, once caucus meetings are finished, there is still the general philosophy of the party that has to be followed by its MPs.

Trudeau pledges to close gaps between cities, First Nations on wildfires CANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE GEORGE — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government needs to do a better job making sure First Nations have what they need to fight forest fires.

Trudeau acknowledged the gaps Thursday in resources for municipalities, which work with the province on wildfires, and First Nations, which fall under federal responsibility.

“Municipalities get resources from provinces, but when the neighbouring Indigenous community turns to the province: ‘Well, we need resources.’ ‘Well, you are a federal responsibility.’ We have to clear up those lines of flowing resources and ensuring people get what they need, regardless of whether they are in an Indigenous community or a non-Indigenous community,’’ he said.

He said the situation has

improved since devastating wildfires in B.C. last year, but more work needs to be done to ensure everyone is equally protected.

“We need to make sure people are safe and that homes and livelihoods are protected. That’s something that we are very much working on and we will continue to. We made significant improvements, but ... there’s still lots more to do.’’

Trudeau left the federal cabinet meeting in Nanaimo to travel to Prince George in central British Columbia to meet with those working to control some of the 563 wildfires that have charred more than 6,000-square-kilometres of the province.

He met with fire protection officer Tom Reinboldt, Mayor Lyn Hall and local legislature member John Rustad, among others, in a boardroom at the local fire centre.

FAITH

The God of Jacob is our help in ages past and now

“

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (Psalm 46:7,11).

If I may be allowed to paraphrase the above verse, it would carry a deeper meaning: “The God of difficult people is our refuge, the Lord of misfits and problem characters is our resort.”

Those who are familiar with Jacob’s life and antics in the book of Genesis, a book that covers 2,300 years of human history, know that more than a quarter of the book is taken up with God’s dealings with Jacob.

God’s dealings with his difficult temperament teach us that He does not despair of us even when we sometimes despair of ourselves.

One of the greatest tragedies in the Christian life is to settle down, believing God can do nothing more with us.

From his birth in chapter 25 to the experience at Peniel recorded in chapter 32, Jacob is a problem character.

For two-thirds of his life, he was hampered by a difficult temperament, almost despicable, and possibly blamed his parents for passing it on to him.

The entire youth of Jacob, the whole of those formative years, is in the Bible, covered in a short sentence in Genesis 25:27: “The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the

FAITH

open country, while Jacob was a quiet man, staying among the tents.”

I have often wondered whether they got the adjective misplaced either in the original or in the translation.

I wonder what Jacob was doing in the tent, sitting and doing nothing?

Jacob was a shrewd man, a man who could bide his time.

He waited for the psychological moment to seize the birthright; waited 14 years to obtain the woman he wanted.

Was Jacob a quiet man, dwelling in tents? “Still waters run deep” is a suitable proverb to describe him.

“The God of Jacob” — that is grace, indeed. One can understand “The God of Abraham.”

But the God of Jacob — the very title is golden and full of promise to us all, especially to

those who are filled with shame and a sense of need.

Secondly, God did not despair of Jacob, even when he failed in middle life.

It is an interesting thing to know that when Jacob made that mess of pottage (and possibly put the best seasoning into it under Rebekkah’s guidance), he was 77 years of age.

And since he lived to 147, we may think of him still scheming in middle life and beginning to work out the plots he had been hatching when he sat in the tent.

These are days of special importance to youth outreach in churches. We are reminded that youth has special temptations, which may be right.

But there ought to be special missions to middle-aged people, for there are certainly special dangers in mid-life. The difficult temperament then tends to become a set character.

Life becomes settled down.

Business or work is doing well and the family is getting on. It is the age of newer-model cars and travels.

And, a little later, slippers and a good table.

It is an indulgent period.

Though statistics show there are not many converted then, we need not despair. We need not give up praying. If we have a burden for middle-aged men, let us keep on praying.

Thirdly, God is not defeated

Be a winner.

Don’t cross the picket line.

with old age.

At 77, Jacob stole the birthright.

At 83, he stole the blessing.

Then, for 14 years he was skillfully tricking his uncle, Laban, transferring his uncle’s cattle to himself by what to him were scientific means.

He is still scheming as he travels back to meet Esau at the ripe age of 103. Yet God did not give him up.

Old age has its problems. Old people are living in a competitive age, where sympathy seems to be diminishing and helpfulness is not too common a quality.

Money does not solve their problems. They themselves will often tell us they have problems with themselves.

Many an old person has told me in their later years of the trials and temptations that come with declining years.

Many a man has said: “I pray that God would save me from becoming a wicked old man.”

Here is Jacob at 103, still the same man, character unchanged, and he is facing his last years.

Many would have said, “He would never change, his temperament is set.”

But, oh, the grace of God never lets us go. God’s dealings with Jacob were in mercy.

In Genesis 32:24, we are told that a man wrestled with him

all night. A little later, Jacob exclaimed, “I have seen God!” No ordinary man could help him. No angel could deal with him at 103.

Nobody but God could meet him. And God did.

Now, older friend, if you are tempted to despair, saying, “There was a chance I might have been sanctified and blessed and changed in my youth, but that chance is gone. My hopes have receded.”

I would appeal to any older friend, “Do not despair. God can do something yet before your end and your feet touch the river. You may yet pass through the pearly gates in sheer triumph, sweeping through the gates of the New Jerusalem.”

We are not going to excuse our sins because we are in middle life, and we are not going to excuse our difficult characters because we are old.

The God of Jacob is our refuge in middle life, in advancing years and, of course, anybody’s refuge at any age.

HERCULANEUM: Italy’s other Pompeii CHRIS MILLIKAN

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

C

ruising the Mediterranean aboard the elegant Viking Star, we investigated astonishing early civilizations from Greece to Italy.

At Naples, most shipmates head for storied Pompeii; we visit neighbouring Herculaneum.

Gazing over the archaeological site from the viewpoint seems otherworldly. Residences look reasonably intact, as if just recently abandoned. The massive volcano that entombed this city for over 1,700 years rises ominously in the distance.

“Named for Hercules, this seaside town was smaller than Pompeii,” guide Sofia explained.

“Though not as well known, Herculaneum is much better preserved and equally splendid.”

Located upwind from the volcano, the tons of falling ash and pumice that crushed Pompeii did little damage here.

Instead, flowing volcanic mud rapidly engulfed her buildings, filling them from the bottom up, ultimately preventing their collapse. As well, the hot mud formed an airtight seal that preserved the town. Though excavations have been ongoing since 1738, most of Herculaneum remains buried.

We descend a long, dimly lit tunnel and cross a little bridge to the original dock. Bleached skeletons sit and sprawl under the archways of former boathouses.

“Trading and fishing helped this seaport flourish. Archeologists believe most of its 20,000 residents escaped by sea,” Sofia recounted.

“These stark remains may represent those awaiting rescue.”

Regrouping on an extensive terrace, Sophia tells us its namesake was Marcus Nonius Balbus, a prominent civic patron. His commanding marble figure stands on a high pedestal. Inscriptions on the adjacent marble memorial list

This bedazzling glass mosaic depicting Neptune and Amphitrite is among the countless works of art dating back thousands of years to be found in Herculaneum, Italy.

his many accomplishments.

A steep ramped stairway leads us up into another public square.

Sophia shepherds us along the main street, onto cobbled side streets and into compact, remarkably undamaged neighbourhoods.

A public water fountain features a man’s worn bearded mouth as a spout; another displays the carved relief of a gowned woman.

“Locals met daily at such fountains to get water, discuss politics and exchange gossip,” Sophia elaborated. “Some even flowed continuously, flushing the streets.”

for grinding flour identify the bakery. Imagining aromas of freshly baked breads and honeyed cakes, we stroll to an ancient eatery.

“That heated inlaid marble table kept pots of buffet foods hot.

Perhaps the first fast food restaurant?” Sofia said, winking.

“Large terra cotta jars likely held wines and olive oil. Nuts, figs, broad beans, chickpeas and olives filled smaller clay pots.”

Inside the public bathhouse, striking black and white tile floors depict a sea goddess, porpoises and octopus amid ocean patterns.

Traces of red, green and gold frescoes embellish walls.

“Without home facilities, citizens used public bathhouses like these,” Sofia said, smiling.

“Women and men used separate rooms heated by hot water circulating through wall cavities.

Marble benches lined the lavish perimeters.”

We delighted in visualizing locals socializing here, playing knucklebone games or relaxing in hot and cold pools.

In some villas, vivid frescoes still decorate walls; original mosaics beautify floors. Rooms sometimes reveal intact beds, carbonized wooden beams and door frames.

One house encloses an openair courtyard with marble ponds, fountains, a marble table with lion legs and collection pools for rainwater.

Several villa names highlight their notable history or distinctive décor. The town’s first human bones were found in House of the Skeleton, where a lovely cupid relief sits above a beautiful shrine for household gods.

Built in the second century BCE, Samnite House sports red geometrics, the oldest paintings in town. At House of the Wooden Partition, unique sliding doors separated the rooms from the atrium.

Especially memorable, House of Neptune and Amphitrite bedazzles. A glass tile mosaic decorates the dining room’s back wall. Geometric designs frame exquisite figures of Neptune and Amphitrite.

According to legend, this sea god spotted her dancing on the island of Naxos, swept her away and married her. In a magnificent niche opposite, shell and motherof-pearl frame hunting scenes, expressive marble theatrical masks perch above.

Hall of the Augustales proves similarly outstanding. An illustrated panel describes how a wealthy college of citizens organized glittering imperial events here. Four thick columns divide one grand room into three large spaces. Only the pedestals for Augustus and Julius Caesar’s statues remain.

In the foyer, pastel marble pieces create pleasing floor motifs around a rectangular pool. Mythically themed frescoes embellish opposing walls in one grand alcove. On one side, Hercules sits beside Juno, Queen of Gods and Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom. On the other, he fiercely battles for Deianira’s love.

Travelling more than 2,000 years back in time at World Heritage Herculaneum inspires extraordinary insights into a sophisticated Roman culture.

Lajoie takes Blazers’ reins MARTY HASTINGS

KTW will look ahead to the 2018-2019 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a series that starts today. Stories will run each Friday until Sept. 21, when the local WHL club opens its season against the Kelowna Rockets at Sandman Centre. We start with a look behind the bench, where Serge Lajoie begins his tenure as head coach. Each story in the five-part series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

erge Lajoie’s Western Hockey League statistics are forgettable.

Only ardent fans will remember the 17-year-old defenceman who had two points, both assists, in seven games with the Kamloops Blazers in 1986-1987.

“Those two assists came when I lost the puck,” Lajoie quipped, noting he watched more games than he played that season. “Rob Brown picked it up and probably went end to end. I’m grateful for that. I am on the stat sheet.”

Lajoie, 49, wants to make an indelible mark this time around.

The Bonnyville, Alta., product, who is bilingual and proud of his French roots, was named the Blazers’ head coach on June 25 and succeeds Kamloops legend Don Hay, now an assistant coach with the Portland Winterhawks.

Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi cleaned house in May, demoting Hay to an advisory role and jettisoning general manager Stu MacGregor, director of player personnel Matt Recchi and assistant coach Mike Needham.

Gaglardi told media to expect incoming GM and head coach hires to be younger than their predecessors. MacGregor’s replacement, Matt Bardsley, 46, was tasked with finding a bench boss.

Bardsley wanted an adept communicator who understands today’s junior hockey player and he emphasized how much value he places on skill development.

Lajoie, who led the Alberta Golden Bears to a U Sports hockey title earlier this year, emerged with the job.

Here are a few reasons why: ON THE SAME PAGE Lajoie’s crash course in communicating with the modern-day

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie is conducting his first WHL training camp, which began on Thursday with fitness testing.

junior player began when his children were born.

Marc, 15, is a 6-foot-3, 209pound defenceman the Tri-City Americans picked 14th overall at the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft in Red Deer.

Isabelle, 17, has won back-toback Esso Cup championships, claiming the national female midget AAA title with the St. Albert Slash in 2017 and 2018.

Prior to the draft this spring, Lajoie helped coach a group of elite 2003-born players from Alberta, some of whom went on to be first-round picks.

“I never see them as entitled,” Lajoie said. “I see them as

informed and with high expectations. They push their coaches to really be prepared and challenge them.

“I also think that helped me at U of A, in terms of not putting myself on a pedestal and saying, ‘I’m the head coach and you guys will listen to what I tell you.’ It’s more of a partnership. You’ve got to share the responsibility of trying to get better each day. A group of 15-year-olds taught me that.”

The inmates can’t run the asylum. Lajoie explained his plan for discipline.

“It would be no different than if, at this moment, you started to criticize the answers I was giving

you without building a relationship,” Lajoie said. “If you and I have a relationship and you start to question some of the things that I do, I take it as more of a situation where you’re trying to help me get better.

“It comes back to the fundamental piece of you’ve got to build relationships. You’ve got to build trust. You’ve got to show them you care. I know that they may be fluffy words for people to hear, but that’s important.”

Being adept in skill development would seem like a no-brainer prerequisite for any coach, but the term has a specific meaning to Bardsley and Lajoie.

“Skill that is transferable to a game situation,” said Lajoie, who brought his skill-development guru to Kamloops.

Dan Kordic, a former NHLer who was an assistant coach on Lajoie’s staff with the Golden Bears for the past two seasons, replaces Needham as the Blazers’ assistant coach.

“He’s studied endless video of NHL teams and players,” Lajoie said. “The game is evolving because of all the individual skill coaches that are out there.”

The plan is to give players ample time to work on skills in isolation with Kordic, goaltend-

ing coach Dan De Palma and part-time assistant coaches Chris Murray and Aaron Keller, each of whom is expected to return this season.

“Conceptually, it’s my job to figure out how those skills translate into game situations.”

GOLDEN PEDIGREE Lajoie can be excused for twice catching himself saying Golden Bears instead of Blazers during an interview with KTW on Monday.

The University of Alberta has been a formative institution for the proud alumnus.

He manned the Golden Bears’ blue line from 1988 to 1993, the highlight of his university playing career a national championship in 1992.

Lajoie considers Billy Moores his No. 1 hockey mentor. Moores, whose brother, Don, is the Blazers’ president, compiled a record of 220-80-23 as head coach of the Golden Bears and led them to national titles in 1980 and 1992.

Golden Bears’ hockey godfather and Hockey Hall of Fame member Clare Drake was Lajoie’s head coach in 1988-1989.

“He made the blueprint for Golden Bears hockey,” Lajoie said of Drake.

Lajoie earned a teaching degree from the U of A in 1993, with a major in French and minor in physical education, but continued pursuing a career on the ice after university, playing pro hockey in Germany for four years with Bad Nauheim EC. He met his wife, Kelly, in St. Albert and the couple settled there after Serge returned from Europe in 1998.

Kelly has a teaching degree from the U of A and played volleyball briefly for the Pandas. The Lajoies taught in the St. Albert area in the seven years following Serge’s playing career.

LAJOIE WANTS CHARGES TO PLAY FAST, OUTWORK THEIR SKILL From A25

Steve Hamilton, who was named head coach of the Calgary Hitmen in July, was Serge’s teaching partner for four years. They worked in the Donnan and Vimy Hockey program, for students pursuing academics and athletics.

Lajoie’s Golden Bears hibernation ended in 2005, when he returned to the bench as an assistant coach, the position he held when Alberta won national championships in 2006 and 2008.

He remained in the role until 2010, when he completed his master of arts in coaching and accepted the head coaching position with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks Under Lajoie, the Ooks claimed two Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference titles (2013, 2015) and were twice runners-up (2012, 2014). He was named ACAC men’s

hockey coach of the year in 2014 and 2015.

The Lajoie connection to the U of A will soon grow stronger.

Isabelle, who is heading into Grade 12, will join the Pandas in time for the 2019-2020 U Sports season.

Kelly, Marc and Isabelle will remain in St. Albert while Serge coaches in Kamloops and lives out of a hotel room this season.

Marc and Isabelle are partly responsible for their dad landing a new job.

When Lajoie took the Golden Bears’ head coaching reins in 2015, it was with knowledge that Ian Herbers, a friend and mentor, may return to the position after a three-year sabbatical.

Herbers, who left the U of A after the 2014-2015 season to join the Edmonton Oilers as an assistant coach, will be back behind Alberta’s bench this season.

Blazers mixing things up at training camp; teams to compete for Blazers Cup trophy

“When I was put in a situation where I had to move away from U of A with Ian coming back, I contemplated teaching for a year to reflect on what to do,” Lajoie said.

“Both kids said, ‘You’re not a teacher. You’re a coach and you’ve got to pursue that. They only know me as a coach. When I went to the U of A, they were four and two.”

PHILOSOPHY

There is an in-vogue hockey expression — we want to play fast — that, like skill development, is vague and needs an explanation.

Lajoie listed a few examples of what playing fast, a strategy he aims to employ, means to him: Out-support the other team; put the puck in good areas so you can maximize speed (which requires players to think quickly); get defencemen back to pucks quickly in their own zone; D-men

should initiate the rush, not lead it; have forwards in good supporting positions; get moving north quickly; hunt and strip pucks; have a high shot volume; and work feverishly to retrieve rebounds.

“Outwork your skill,” Lajoie said. “Habits, details — everything matters.

“And, if you want to play fast, first of all, you’ve got to develop good practice habits and practise the way you want to play.”

UNDERSTANDING EXPECTATIONS

Fans in Kamloops are hungry for a winner, as is ownership.

“My expectation is to compete for the Memorial Cup,” Lajoie said. “If I work backwards from there, it’s what do we need to do to get there? We want to get better every single day. I’m really excited, but I’m going to cut myself some slack. It’s not going

The Blazers will begin a new era against an old foe, the Kelowna Rockets, on Sept. 21 at Sandman Centre.

“Objective one is to get better,” Lajoie said. “By Christmas, we can re-evaluate where we’re at and continue to make some adjustments so we can improve.

“We want to definitely make sure that we get into the playoffs.”

As for game-day emotions on Sept. 21 and the feeling of accomplishment that often accompanies a major career step, Lajoie is not expecting to be overwhelmed.

“My kids always say I never smile, but inside I do take things in,” Lajoie said. “There will be a sense of pride. You have to earn your opportunities. I think I’ve earned this through the time I’ve put in.

“Once the pucks drops, it’s all business.”

WolfPack have much to prove in 2018 MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW FILE PHOTO

Josh Banton paid attention to a Canada West coaches’ poll released on Monday.

The TRU WolfPack defender’s eyebrows rose when he saw his team ranked fifth in the 13-team conference, feeling bronze medals last year at the U Sports and Canada West championships may have earned them more respect.

“I’m very surprised,” said Banton, the Leighon-Sea, England, product whose header helped underdog TRU to a 1-0 victory over the Ontario University Athletics champion York Lions in quarter-final play at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship in Kamloops in November.

“Considering how well we did last year, I’m surprised guys are underestimating us again,” Banton

continued. “It’s for us to prove them wrong again. I’m more than happy to do so.”

TRU, which was 6-3-6 in regular-season play in 2017, is set to open the 2018 campaign this weekend, but hazardous air quality from wildfires burning across the province may lead to schedule changes.

Fraser Valley of Abbotsford was slated to play TRU at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, but that game has been postponed, likely until Monday.

TRU and Trinity Western of Langley are scheduled to square off on Sunday at Hillside Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m.

Canada West and TRU brass will have a conference call on Friday at 3:30 p.m. to

discuss whether more changes are necessary.

WolfPack head coach John Antulov recruited a strong crop of international players in time for the 2017 national championship season, but knew there was a chance some of them could disappear, with no assurance of a trip to the U Sports title tourney as a host team this year.

Nearly all of them decided to stay.

“That just says a lot about the program we have, our coach, the whole staff and the team,” said Thomas Lantmeeters, a fourthyear business student from Genk, Belgium.

“You just feel at home immediately. It’s very hard to leave that behind, even if you’ve come with the inten-

tion of staying for half a year.”

Antulov is aware his players may use the coaches’ poll as fuel and the fifth-year bench boss is fine with that, but he has no qualms with the Pack’s ranking.

“We are new. We’re young. We’ve only done it once,” Antulov said. “Those coaches have been around 25, 30 years. They want to see us sustain and do it over a long haul. I’m not too overly worried about it.”

Ranked one through three in the poll, in order, are UBC, Alberta and Trinity. TRU secured the lone firstplace vote that did not go to UBC or Alberta, but was also ranked as low as 10th.

CFL chills out on TD celebrations CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The CFL is relaxing its stance regarding the use of props during touchdown celebrations.

The league announced Thursday that effective immediately, players can use props in TD celebrations, provided they aren’t hidden in their uniform or the goalpost assembly. The items also can’t be demeaning or discriminatory, can’t simulate

the firing of a weapon and can’t unduly delay the game.

“The stakes in our league are very high and the intensity level is second to none,’’ CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in a statement. “But at the end of the day, football is a game and it should

Georget finds podium Brady Georget of Kamloops won a bronze medal playing for the junior B Coquitlam Adanacs last weekend at the Founders Cup national championship tournament in Ontario.

The Adanacs edged the Manitoba Blizzard 9-8 in the bronze-medal matchup.

Georget had a key

goal in the second period of a game against the Calgary Shamrocks, a tilt Coquitlam had to win to reach the thirdplace showdown.

Georget has aged out of junior lacrosse.

He captained the Kamloops Venom throughout the 2018 Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League campaign.

be fun for players and fun for fans.’’

On Saturday, Edmonton receiver D’haquille Williams was flagged for objectionable conduct after he and two teammates crawled through an end-zone advertising placard following a touchdown in the Eskimos’ 40-24 victory over the Montreal Alouettes.

The night before, Winnipeg receiver Darvin Adams wasn’t penalized for his innovative TD celebration. After hauling in a 72-yard touchdown pass, Adams commandeered an on-field television camera and used it to film some of his teammates in the Blue Bombers’ 44-21 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.

Under the CFL’s revised standard, Williams’ celebration would be allowed.

“This change came after discussions held by the commissioner, presidents from the league’s member clubs and on-field officials and supervisors,’’ said Darren Hackwood, the CFL’s director of officiating. “Everyone involved wants to reach the right balance between giving players an opportunity to express their joy and creativity and maintaining the pace and sportsmanship of our game.’’

Shapo Ready for U.S. Open run?

MELISSA COUTO

CANADIAN PRESS

Denis Shapovalov walked onto Arthur Ashe Stadium last year and felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of the court, the brightness of the lights and the rousing cheers of the crowd.

Then he started playing and those outside distractions seemed to fade away.

The 19-year-old Canadian tennis star won’t be frazzled when he takes the court next week in his second U.S. Open. But the memories of his debut at the Grand Slam aren’t far from his mind.

“It’s probably one of the greatest memories of my career so far, playing under those lights,’’ Shapovalov told Canadian Press from New York on Thursday. “I just remember how insanely big the court was and how it wasn’t so easy to concentrate at the beginning because there was so much going on, so many people there.

“But I always wanted to play on the big court.

So when I got the chance last year, instead of getting afraid I got inspired and motivated to go out there and show how well I could play.’’

Shapovalov burst on the tennis scene last summer when he followed up a semifinal run at the Rogers Cup in Montreal with a Round of 16 appearance at the U.S. Open.

The Richmond Hill, Ont., product started that Rogers Cup ranked 143rd in the world and rose to No. 51, beating Daniil Medvedev, Kyle Edmund and No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (after three qualifying victories) in New York.

Shapovalov, who enters this year’s U.S. Open at No. 28, said he’s matured and grown as a person since last year, gaining the confidence that comes with upset wins in big tournaments. And his tennis game has improved, too.

“I’m physically stronger, mentally stronger, everything’s gotten better,’’ he said.

But the biggest difference between the lead-up to the last U.S. Open and this one?

“I feel a lot more relaxed,’’ Shapovalov said.

“Last year was about me backing up my results at the Rogers Cup and I had to qualify so there was a lot of pressure.

“This year I’m keeping the same routine: staying at the same hotel, eating at the same places, so I’m more familiar with everything. I feel that sense of calmness and experience and I’m very comfortable right now.’’

CARDILICCHIA SUSPENDED Westshore Rebels’ head coach Charly Cardilicchia has been suspended for three games by the B.C. Football Conference for comments he made in an interview with KTW. Cardilicchia and the Langfordbased Rebels loaded the team bus, hopped a ferry to the Lower Mainland and headed toward Kamloops for a game against the Broncos last Saturday.

He was then informed the game had been cancelled due to hazardous air quality in the Tournament Capital.

“As far as we’re concerned, this has been an absolute freaking joke,” Cardilicchia said. “The whole thing is pretty Mickey Mouse.”

Cardilicchia was asked if the Rebels would consider playing the cancelled game in Kamloops on Labour Day long weekend.

He said no and added, “They messed up. They f----- up. They’re the f------ idiots that couldn’t get out

of bed until 11 o’clock and tell us the game was cancelled.”

Cardilicchia will miss Saturday night’s game at Westhills Stadium in Langford against the Vancouver Island Raiders (2-1), the Sept.

8 rematch at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo against the Raiders and the Sept. 15 game at Westhills Stadium against the Broncos (0-2).

The game against the Broncos will be worth four points, as last Saturday’s scheduled game in Kamloops will not be rescheduled.

The league has announced an airquality protocol regarding any future cancellation or postponement due to wildfires. Starting this week, it will be decided by 1 p.m. on the Friday before whether a game will be played on the Saturday.

The Broncos are scheduled to play the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. Game time is 6 p.m.

WolfPack boosted by recruits, 16 returnees From A27

The WolfPack lost key cogs to graduation after the 2017 season.

Goalkeeper Allan Connor, who played the hero in the U Sports championship bronze-medal game last year, making two jaw-dropping saves to propel his WolfPack to a 3-2 victory over UBC, has moved into an assistant coaching position with TRU, as has graduated midfielder Brandon Mendez of Calgary.

Williams Lake product Ryan Glanville, a goal machine, and Colton Walker, a midfielder from Sicamous, have also aged out of university soccer.

Anatoli Leveille was 16 when he joined the Pack last season and became one of the team’s most exciting prospects, but

KTW FILE PHOTO Former TRU WolfPack goalkeeper Allan Connor has joined the team in a coaching role this season.

Antulov said academic difficulties kept him from returning this season.

Leveille and Fraser scored for TRU in a 2-0 victory over the Alberta Golden Bears in the Canada West bronze medal game in Vancouver in November.

“I was a bit worried coming into it, losing key

ble recruits for the 2018 campaign and join a group of 16 returnees.

Returning to the fold are Canada West MVP and U Sports All-Canadian Mitch Popadynetz, a midfielder from Nelson, offensive threat James Fraser, a forward from Penticton, Finlay McPhie, a stalwart defender from Vernon, and

players, but having seen the recruits John’s brought in, I’m more than than happy and I can’t wait to get together and start playing,” Banton said.

Stanley Obinna, a first-year defender from Kristiansand, Norway, and Levi Andoh, a first-year defender from Leicester, England, are among nota-

standout midfielder Justin Donaldson of Kamloops.

Banton and defender Jan Pirretas Glasmacher of Barcelona, both 2017 Canada West rookie allstars, will play important roles.

Rounding out TRU’s international contingent are defender Harry Coles of Prees, England, midfielder Khalifa Fanne of Tours, France, goalkeeper Alex Ram of Leicester, England, and midfielder Mathias Mansor of Kuala Lumpur.

Hazardous air quality across the province led to the cancellation of five WolfPack pre-season matches, games that would have helped the team form its identity before points are on the line.

“Everybody is in the same boat,” Antulov said.

“Schools have been calling me to get training time in Kamloops.”

The Victoria Vikes were scheduled to open their season this weekend with a pair of matches against the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George, but both have been cancelled due to air quality concerns.

Jared Keim, a first-year Wolfpack defender from Kamloops, is hoping the smoke clears in time for his new team to make a statement.

“We’ll just have to show all the other coaches what we should be ranked and what kind of strength we do have,” said Keim, a South Kamloops secondary product.

“We have tonnes of players who are strong in many different positions.

I’m just really excited to be a part of that.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE

Alfred John Spencer Alfred John Spencer of Kamloops, BC, peacefully passed away on August 19, 2018, just shy of 90 years old, surrounded by his loving family. Alf is survived by his loving wife of over 61 years, Joan Spencer, his children Bradley (Tara) of Kamloops, Tod of Vancouver, Daryl of Kelowna, Linda of White Rock and Courtney of Burnaby, as well as grandchildren Christine, Tom (Vickie), Catherine, Cadan, Devin (Natalie), and Granger, and three great-grandchildren. Alf was predeceased by his parents, two sisters and their spouses.

By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Alf was born in Duncan, BC, and raised in Nanaimo. He graduated from UBC in 1954 from pharmacy. Over the years Alf resided in Quesnel (where he met and married Joan), Williams Lake, Kamloops, Lillooet and 100 Mile House where in all he owned or managed drug stores and pharmacies.

During his first stint in Kamloops, he spent 13 years at the downtown Woodwards. He spent his final 15 years in Kamloops as well. Alf was active in all communities, and always had time to talk with the people he met, whether at work, in his neighbourhood, through his travels to other countries, or out fishing. Alf’s passion of fly fishing began at age 10, and lasted 80 years.

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Can I die at home?

At Alf’s request, there will be no service.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Alf’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, the Heart & Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.

When you think of Alf, raise a wee dram of scotch, and smile.

A. You may have heard or read about M.A.I.D. (Medical Assistance In Dying). Some people are ‘for it’ and some are not. A lot of hoops to go through if this is your wish. Then there’s “Expected Home Death” for people who want to die (without M.A.I.D intervention) at home. If you’re deemed palliative you may wish to discuss this option with your doctor.

They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ...

Though I must now remain.

Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies.

Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep.

They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep.

The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams.

They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams.

They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

I received my diploma as a funeral director/embalmer from College of Rosemont in Montreal in 1989. I moved to beautiful BC in 1996 and have had the opportunity and honor of serving many families throughout the Kamloops, Merritt and North Thompson area for the past 16 years. In my spare time, I enjoy riding the Kamloops mountain bike trails, camping with my family, golfing and skiing at Sun Peaks.

Harry Madden Sadly, in the early hours of August 18, 2018 Harry Madden passed into the arms of the angels at the age of 85 years old.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Rosemarie "Rosebud", daughters Lisa and Lynda (Tim) Vigor, granddaughter Rosemarie "Twinkle" Vigor, great-grandson Jaxon and nephew John Major (Tanya). His humour and colorful personality will be missed by many.

After losing a leg in service with the British Army, he came to Canada (Winnipeg) to reunite with his sisters, eventually making his way to Vancouver where he met and married his Rosebud in 1963.

His cockney sense of humour left almost all that met him with a smile or a laugh.

His kindness and generosity touched many lives in Kamloops throughout the years. Harry was breaking boundaries of his handicap before it was fashionable to do so, and never let losing his leg limit his dreams or aspirations. He was a great example as he taught us there was no such thing as a disability, just an opportunity to put your mind in gear and come up with an alternative plan!

Over the years, he enjoyed his time as a volunteer with St. John's Ambulance, bowling and playing darts in the Kamloops Dart league. His most recent passion was spending time with his family, fulfilling his lifelong dream of having a little place on Shuswap Lake.

Service to be held at St. John Vianney Parish on Saturday, September 1, 2018 at 11:00 am, officiated by Msgr. Jerry Desmond, followed by a tea and light lunch.

Harry has requested no black and all are invited to dress casual in their favourite sports jersey.

Open invitation to all who knew him to an old-fashioned Irish wake at 2552 Tupela Dr., Kamloops, BC later that afternoon.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that you donate to the Veterans charity of your choice.

Rest now dad, you deserve it!

I’m Glad I Touched Shoulders With You From Bob White’s Scrapbook

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Kamloops comic cracks top eight in country-wide comedy contest SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

K

amloops funny man Ryan Williams has advanced to the top eight in SiriusXM’s Canada’s Top Comic competition.

Williams has now made the cut three times in his pursuit of the title and he is thrilled the public voting portion of the contest has come to an end.

“It feels really good,” he told KTW. “I hated that so much, all that social-media promoting.”

Although he disliked asking people for votes, Williams did his best on social media to draw attention to himself — and you can’t say he hasn’t shown dedication.

During the voting stage, Williams’ antics included bear spraying himself, exhausting himself hiking the Grouse Grind to plant a flag he ended up forgetting and often just falling flat on his face.

“I also shaved my head — just to show people that I was handling the pressure well,” he said.

The 28-year-old, who is from Kamloops, but lives and works

in Vancouver, now finds himself among seven other finalists, cut down from 18 who were handpicked during live showcases in Calgary in May. He’s competing for a top prize of $25,000 — money he said would be used to produce an original comedy web series.

But beyond the money lies what is arguably a bigger prize — the chance to perform on big stages at a number of Just for Laugh festivals across Canada, plus one in Sydney, Australia, along with a TV taping to be broadcast the following year.

On Sept. 27, Williams will perform in the Top Comic finale show before a panel of judges, headlined by comedian Nikki Glaser, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto — a city in which Williams has never performed.

“Winning a contest like this would be life-changing,” Williams told KTW in July.

This is the first year Williams has applied for the Top Comic contest. He waited until this year to make a go of it because, he said, he wanted “to have an

Ryan Williams in a still from his showcase video shot in Calgary, which helped him secure the votes to advance in the competition and move forward in the top eight.

actual shot at winning.”

His fellow finalists are Kyle Brownrigg, Ottawa; Sophie Buddle, Ottawa; Brittany Lyseng, Calgary; Myles Morrison, Saskatoon; Chanty Marostica, Winnipeg; Alex Pavone, Woodbridge, Ont. and Nick

Reynoldson, Scarborough, Ont. Williams said that as soon as he found out he was advancing, he got on his laptop and booked every show he could. Right now, his plans include at least 10 spots per week, including his weekly Full Pint Comedy show at Granville Island Brewery and two dates at Yuk Yuk’s Vancouver on Sept. 21 and Sept. 22.

All that work, which is in addition to his day job as a construction worker, is part of

his efforts to refine his set for a crucial — and, hopefully, hilarious — eight-minute set on stage in Toronto.

“It’s pretty much up for grabs,” Williams said. “In the years past, there has been older, more-established touring headliners in the competition. This year, that’s not the case.”

The finale will air on SiriusXM’s channel Canada Laughs, which features uncensored Canadian comedy.

BRIEFS BrewLoops set for September return

The fourth annual BrewLoops Festival will be set at a new location this year.

The beer festival with a carnival feel will take place on Simcoe Avenue and the adjoining parking lot along Fortune Drive on the North Shore.

The event, which runs on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29, will feature live entertainment, a ferris wheel, bumper cars, carnival games and plenty of beer.

Tickets are $25 for a one-day pass and $45 for a two-day pass and available through the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, or online at kamloopslive.ca.

Rev. Sekou was said to have caused some minor controversy over his political speech between songs.

Roots and Blues organizers say they don’t control performers hitting it on all cylinders and the universe aligning with so many great performances throughout the weekend,” he said.

Headliners included Michael Franti — who organizers said drew many new people to the annual event — The Family Stone and Colin James.

One performer caused a bit of negative feedback. Rev. Osagyefo Uhuru Sekou — who performs as Rev. Sekou — is a Baptist minister from Missouri

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While final attendance numbers are still being compiled, the organizers of the 26th annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival are celebrating a successful three days of music.

Executive director David Gonella said the event was “possibly the best festival this organization has ever programmed.

“This is no hyperbole but truly a reflection of our event

who has spent his life engaged in social justice, teaching alternatives to gang violence in schools, running a fellowship centre at a housing project and eventually becoming involved in organizing groups to do nonviolent civil disobedience.

Gonella said some people felt Sekou should avoid the political commentary he made between songs and just sing but added the festival is a live event and the organizers don’t put controls like that on its performers.

The Dirty Jersey sets a date — to close Lestander, said he welcomes the closure, which comes after 10 years in operation.

He said the businesses see decent crowds, but he hasn’t been able to save enough money during the busy season to cover the times when business is slow.

“I can’t keep going in the hole every year,” Lestander said.

He also noted increasing food costs, alcohol taxes and the pending minimum wage increase to $15 as contributing factors in his decision to close.

About 18 employees between the two businesses are now out of work.

“They’ll all find jobs. My

Two long-time staples of the North Shore entertainment scene are being shuttered this fall.

Bowlertime and the Dirty Jersey Sports Bar and Grill on Eighth Street are going out of business, with the bowling alley set to close Sept. 3 — one day ahead of league play starting up — and the pub following suit Oct. 10.

Unable to come to terms on a new lease with his landlord and losing money each year, owner of both businesses, Lance

heartache is the special needs people in our city that use the bowling alley on a regular basis,” Lestander said. “This is a big blow to our community, but it is what it is — it’s business.”

As for Lestander, he said he’s looking at pursuing another line of work.

“I’ll find something,” he said.

He said he also plans to liquidate all the assets he can from the two businesses.

Lestander isn’t sure what the building’s owner, Coppertree Holdings, has planned for the spaces moving forward.

Attempts by KTW to contact the company have been unsuccessful.

Coco, the family-friendly Disney film, was to be shown on a giant screen in Riverside Park as part of the annual Interior Savings Moonlight Movie Tour, with attendance by donation and the money raised going to the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association for programs focused on mental health. Interior Savings said it’s working on an alternate date for the showing and to visit the event’s Facebook page for further updates.

Rio Samaya will perform at The Art We Are

Vancouver-based band Rio Samaya, made up of real-life couple Pancho and Sal, will bring their latin rhythms to The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., on Saturday.

The couple’s romantic melodies include Italian, English and French songs done in folkloric Central and South American styles.

Pancho, born in Argentina, plays guitar, string instruments, flute and hand percussion, while Sal, born in England, plays accordion, hand percussion and sings.

Tickets for the show, which runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., are $5 at the door.

Children’s Art Festival returns

The Kamloops Children’s Art Festival will return for its 19th year, this time with a superhero theme.

Kids aged two and older are encouraged to dress as their favourite superhero and stop by on one of the two festival days on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15.

Those without a costume will have a chance to make their own superhero gear at one of the workshop booths.

Friday’s activities start at 3:30 p.m. and go until 5 p.m., with a dance party and special after-school light and shadow experience by Miss White Spider.

The longer day of the festival is on Saturday, with activities and performances from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that include superhero mask, cape, bag, badge and bracelet making, an obstacle course, face painting, henna and dance.

More information about the festival can be found online at kamloopsarts.ca.

Hello Moth and Ba:zel at The Art We Are

Hello Moth creates music that is sometimes dark and sometimes uplifting. The band has been called one of Alberta’s most innovative bands. If you’re wondering what exactly that means, this poetic electro-pop solo act will be performing at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., on Saturday, Sept. 1.

They’ll have company, too.

Ba:zel, an experimental avantpop duo based in Prague will also visit the River City.

The duo, comprised of Ai-fen Chiu and Daniel Vicek, uses flutes, synths, guitars, beats and vocals to bring a downtempo pop sound to the mix.

The show will go from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and tickets are $8 at the door.

Visiting Indonesian students set to perform

Before returning home to Indonesia, more than 130 visiting high school students will perform traditional Indonesian singing, dancing and music in a show called Merantau: A Hero’s Journey.

The play will be presented at the Sagebrush Theatre on Sunday, Sept.

2, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

It tells the story of the good that is found in us when faced with oppression and injustice and is free and appropriate for all ages.

We’re about Catch a crooner at The Dunes to enter what I like to call maker season KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

BRIANNE SHEPPARD Maker

MOVEMENT

T

he air may be smoky, but you can still sense the changes coming.

My favourite season of them all, fall, is just around the corner and is the perfect time to start stockpiling supplies for what I happily call the “maker season.”

It occurs at the beginning of September, when you can still harbour vague notions of handmaking all of your gifts, which will minimize both costs and packaging, while you ignore all previous historical evidence of inflated supply costs and halffinished projects. But of course, this year will be different.

In previous years I have macraméd, I have mod-podged and painted craftstore bird houses. I have lettered and sewn, beaded and assembled.

After opening Far and Wide this year, I have decided to focus more on what people actually need — a smaller, less-bedazzled gift that is nonetheless personalized.

So as the autumn leaves change, the pumpkin spice starts flowing (beginning in August this year) and the kids head off to school, here are some ideas on how and what to start assembling for the people in your life.

Starting now will give you a big leg up on the majority of people, and let you spend your holiday season happily partaking in more wine

and cheese nights and less time covered in paint while you make 37 different handmade presents.

Fishing is big in my family, so I am looking to local woodworkers to provide me with small wooden boxes I can fill with hand-tied flies and a new reel.

My goal here would be to finally get around to using that woodburning kit I bought on sale, in order to personalize them a bit. It’s less industrious than what I’ve done in previous years, when I might have decided that I need to learn to tie the flies myself and also make the box.

For the ladies, I had been looking into soap-making to put sets together, but after reading through a few tutorials and realizing how much time they take to cure, I decided I am going to go with lavender soap from a local soap maker — Bear All Body Care — and instead look at screen printing some cute canvas bags to put them in instead.

For the kids, I’ll take all the broken crayons we will replace during the back to school supply rush and use the silicone molds they sell at Michaels to create a new set of multicoloured gems.

Beautiful and thrifty is the perfect combination. Package them up with a few reusable straws, some treats and a new pad of paper and you are good to go.

The goal here is to take your creativity and your skills and work smarter instead of harder. You don’t have to make every component or bake every cookie in order to show people you care. You just need to plan ahead, start early and keep things simple.

Aerosmith to Trump: Stop using our songs ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is again demanding that President Donald Trump stop using the band’s songs at rallies.

Tyler’s attorney sent a cease-and-desist letter to the president Wednesday, a day after the song Livin’ on the Edge was heard at a Trump rally in West Virginia.

The latest letter —

Aerosmith has made the demand before — said by using Livin’ on the Edge, the president “is falsely implying that our client, once again, endorses his campaign and/or his presidency.”

Tyler tweeted it isn’t a political issue, he just does not let anyone use his songs without permission.

Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Be realistic with your handmade gifts

Patrons of The Dunes can catch a tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes next month.

Dan Lauzon made a career as an actor, singer and big band leader — and now, when he’s at a point when most would be considering retirement, he’s launched a second career in tribute to Frank Sinatra.

Lauzon, a Toronto-based tenor, portrays the Sultan of Swoon on stage to preserve the memory of what he calls “one of the world’s greatest entertainers.”

Lauzon’s show has received some

accolades, including the title of world’s best Sinatra tribute artist at the 2018 Frank Sinatra Tribute Artists Competition — an annual event in Sinatra’s hometown of Hoboken, N.J. He’ll be singing the hits, including Summer Wind, Strangers in the Night, My Way and The Way You Look Tonight.

The show will take place Wednesday, Sept. 12, with cocktails at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. and Lauzon’s Sinatra at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $50 and available at The Dunes by calling 250-579-3300, extension 2.

Two new shows at Arnica Artist-Run Centre KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

It will be your last chance to see Twyla Exner’s Mixed Signals and Joe Hambleton’s The Middle as these shows both close Friday, Aug. 31.

Both artists explore how technology is employed in our lives, with Exner’s work focusing on the combination of biology and technology and Hambleton using programming to create “an animated journey to nowhere.”

Beginning Sept. 15, two new exhibits come to the centre.

Mulling over the Scenery, a show by the Z’otz* Collective, which includes Nahúm

Flores, Erik Jerezano and Ilyana Martínez, will run from Sept. 15 to Oct. 27. The collective is a group that examines Latin American immigrant experiences of displacement, transition and transformation.

The other show, which runs concurrently, is Embroideries by Carlos Colin, a Latin American artist living and working in Vancouver. His art explores the connection of the cultural, theoretical, political, religious and artistic manifestations of the baroque style as a colonial legacy in contemporary Mexico.

On Tuesday, Sept. 14, both artists will be on hand to discuss their work at Thompson Rivers University in the Fine

Arts department in Old Main from noon to 1:30 p.m.

The opening reception for both shows follows the next day at Arnica Artist-Run Centre, 7 West Seymour St., from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

There will also be a free public workshop presented by the Z’otz* Collective.

Viewers and participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and form into small groups to create a series of mixed-media works on paper. Supplies will be provided and the workshop, which runs from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Children’s Arts Festival in Riverside Park, is free.

Actor feared speaking out about Argento assault ANDREW DALTON

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — A young actor who alleged in legal documents Italian actress and filmmaker Asia Argento sexually assaulted him when he was 17 said Wednesday his trauma resurfaced when Argento came out as a victim of sexual assault herself last year.

“I did not initially speak out about my story because I chose to handle it in private with the person who wronged me,” Bennett, now 22, said in a statement released through Attorney Gordon K. Sattro.

The comments were his first made publicly since a Sunday New York Times story saying Argento reached a $380,000 legal settlement with him last year over an alleged sexual assault in a California hotel room in 2013.

“I have not made a public statement in the past days and hours because I was ashamed and afraid to be part of the public narrative. I was underage when the event took place, and I tried to seek justice in a way that made sense to me at the time.”

Bennett said he believed there was a stigma to being sexually assaulted as a male, and that he “didn’t think that people would understand the event that took place from the eyes of a teenage boy.”

His comments come a day after the 42-yearold Argento denied having a sexual relationship with him.

She said in a statement Tuesday she was linked “in friendship only’’ to Bennett, who played her son in a film in 2004.

She said the $380,000 payment, made in response to a notice of intent to sue for $3.5 million in damages that Bennett had filed, was undertaken by her boyfriend Anthony Bourdain, the celebrity chef who killed himself in France in June.

“Anthony personally undertook to help Bennett economically, upon the condition that we would no lon-

ger suffer any further intrusions in our life,” Argento’s statement said.

Earlier Wednesday, TMZ published a photo that showed Argento and Bennett lying together, their heads touching as they lay on a pillow, their shirts apparently off. The celebrity website did not say how it obtained the photo. A previous picture on TMZ showed the pair embracing but sitting up and fully clothed.

The Los Angeles County sheriff’s department said it is looking into the allegations and seeking to talk to Bennett. No police report was filed at the time, the department said. The age of consent in California is 18.

Argento became one of the leading figures of the #MeToo movement after she told the New Yorker magazine last year that Weinstein raped her at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 when she was 21.

Weinstein has been indicted on sex crime accusations involving three women, but not Argento.

He has denied having engaged in any nonconsensual sexual acts.

Bennett said in his statement that Argento’s emergence as a Weinstein accuser brought back his own trauma and the movement as a whole has prompted him to address the experience.

“Many brave women and men have spoken out about their own experiences during the #MeToo movement, and I appreciate the bravery that it took for each and every one of them to take a stand,’’ Bennett’s statement said.

Actress Ashley Judd, another Weinstein accuser, spoke out Wednesday against anyone who would use the Argento allegations to undermine the #MeToo movement.

“We hold any and every abuser accountable, regardless of their gender, race, socioeconomic status, public visibility or popularity,’’ Judd said on Twitter.

“Sexual violence is wrong, full stop.”
