DID YOU KNOW?

Bostock Place in Dallas is named for Sen. Hewitt Bostock, a prominent and respected politician and newspaperman in Kamloops in the late 19th century.

— Kamloops Museum and Archives

One theory is the trees were targeted because they were blocking a good view of the city from Aberdeen.

The fine for violating the tree-removal bylaw ranges from between $1,000 to $10,000, in addition to the cost of replacing the trees.

In this particular situation, cost of replacing the trees could be pricey, given their maturity. The city investigation remains in the early stages, with staff gathering information with the hopes of determining what happened and who is responsible.

Attack on trees kills 11 mature pines CITY INVESTIGATING AFTER SUBSTANCE POURED INTO HOLES THAT WERE DRILLED INTO STAND OF CONIFEROUS TREES IN ABERDEEN JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is investigating an attack on coniferous trees.

Eleven pine trees were vandalized last week in an Aberdeen green space.

“It’s not right for someone to vandalize public park land,” area resident Ross Spina told KTW. Spina said he heard a “drilling noise” on Thursday at about 9 p.m. while sitting in the backyard of his home in the Huntleigh Crescent-Hampshire Place neighbourhood.

One side of the street borders city green space, which is packed with decades-old growth that provides natural habitat for wildlife in the area.

Spina said when he heard the noise, he crouched down and spotted two men with what appeared to be a laser-guided drill. He went to explore, but the men took off.

The next day, Spina and a neighbour who works for the BC Forest Service investigated and found 11 trees had been vandalized.

Drill marks punctured the circumference of the trees and it is suspected the holes were filled with some kind of substance to kill the stands.

The city confirmed it has received a complaint about tampering of city trees and a city arborist determined the trees require felling, with dead timber deemed a fire hazard.

It remains unclear who is responsible, leaving Spina to wonder: “Why would you want 11 trees to die?”

One theory is the trees were targeted because they were blocking a good view of the city from higher-elevation Aberdeen.

City community and protective services director Byron McCorkell said staff are investigating potential violation of the city’s tree protection bylaw.

A permit is required before felling stands, with the bylaw objective to preserve trees in

the city, whether on public or private property. The city deems trees as an “asset” as they are aesthetically pleasing, improve shade and clean air.

“In an urban environment, to get a tree to grow to a size that provides the shade … it’s not easy to do,” McCorkell said.

The fine for violating the bylaw ranges from between $1,000 to $10,000, in addition to the cost of replacing the trees.

In this particular situation, cost of replacing the trees could be pricey, given their maturity.

The city investigation remains in the early stages, with staff gathering information with the hopes of determining what happened and who is responsible.

“The community education is that you can’t just go and cut down trees,” McCorkell said. “That’s the way things happen in Kamloops. If someone felt that this was done to try and improve their view, that would really not go very well.”

WATERING PROPERLY FOR PLANT HEALTH

NEVER MISS A CURBSIDE PICKUP

2020 CITY CALENDAR CALL FOR PHOTOS

Plants are constantly defending themselves from enemies. Pests prefer plants that are stressed, and one of the most common causes of plant stress is improper watering.

Under-watering makes plants more prone to pest problems.

Over-watering increases the risk of plant disease and certain insects that prefer lush, weak growth. It is not in your plant’s best interest to water every second day.

To encourage deep rooting and drought resistance, water deeply, thoroughly, and less often.

THE FAMILY LAW ACT: HOW IT COULD AFFECT YOU The Family Law Act sets out requirements pertaining to a parent who wants to relocate with a child, or children, from a former relationship.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO RELOCATE?

GARY DOSA PHOTO

Expect Riverside Park to be busy again on Friday as people seek relief from the heat.

Heat wave in city leads to special weather alert

Under the Act, where both parents are having “contact” with the children and one parent wants to relocate with them, that parent must give the other parent at least 60 days written notice of the proposed relocation. Relocation can then occur unless the other parent, within 30 days of receiving the notice, files a court application which opposes the relocation.

Let us help you through the legal process, which at times can become complicated and emotional.

Our family lawyer has the knowledge and experience to help you maneuver through this delicate situation.

THE GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE WHO FIND IT TOO HOT? FRIDAY’S FORECAST HIGH OF 36 C WILL BE FOLLOWED BY SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND sizzling temperatures.

The mercury in Kamloops is expected to reach highs of 35 C on Wednesday, 35 C on Thursday and 36 C on Friday, before clouds move in, bringing showers on Saturday and Sunday, with forecast weekend highs of 26 C. Environment Canada said the ridge of high pressure bringing the heat to Kamloops originated in the southwest desert of the U.S. The public is encouraged to protect themselves from the heat by drinking plenty of water even before feeling thirsty, staying in a cool place, scheduling outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day and never leaving people or pets inside parked vehicles.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

With the mercury hitting 35 C and 36 C this week, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement, warning people to properly prepare for the sizzling temperatures.

The heat wave that is baking Kamloops and the rest of the B.C. Interior is expected to break on Friday night, with showers and cooler temperatures forecast for the weekend — just in time for Hot Nite in the City and Ribfest.

Until then, however, the intense heat has prompted Environment Canada to continue to issue a special weather statement, warning people to properly prepare for the

Lunch Special

Environment Canada’s criteria for issuing a heat warning requires maximum temperatures greater than 35 C and overnight lows greater than 18 C for two or more consecutive days. Many areas in the B.C. Interior will reach or exceed the 35 C high temperature threshold, but most areas will drop below 18 C at night.

The heat this week may bring a sense of deja vu to Kamloops residents as it was exactly a year ago this week that the Tournament Capital and the South Thompson were basking in record-setting temperatures.

On Aug. 9, 2018, the temperature in Kamloops reached a high of 40.8 C, which is a record for that date.

LOCAL NEWS BCGEU president Stephanie Smith (standing fifth from the right) visited the picket line outside Cascades Casino in Kamloops last summer. The five-month labour dispute led to Cascades experiencing an $11-million dip in revenue, compared to the previous fiscal year. But the City of Kamloops, which gets 10 per cent of revenues from casinos in town, was not as hard hit as lack of action at Cascades was offset by more business at Chances Casino on the North Shore.

NORTHILLS MALL - #60-700 TRANQUILLE RD KAMLOOPS 250.376.1985

Cascades Casino Kamloops revenues dropped by $11 million last year — the year in which casino workers at four B.C. Interior casinos, including Kamloops, went on strike for several months.

The BCLC Gambling Service Provider Commissions Report notes revenues at the Aberdeen casino totalled $24.2 million in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, compared to $35.2 million in 2017-2018.

Slot machines made up the bulk of the revenue, at $22.6 million in 2018-2019 — but slid compared to $31.6 million in 2017.

Table revenue also dove, totalling $1.6 million in 2018, compared to $3.7 million in 2017-2018.

Casino workers went on strike in June of 2018 and were on the picket lines until November, when a new collective agree-

ment between Gateway Casinos and Entertainment and the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union was reached.

The BCGEU represents more than 600 employees at Cascades Casinos in Kamloops and Penticton, Playtime Casino in Kelowna and Lake City Casino in Vernon.

The four-year deal included an average 23.5 per cent wage increase, in addition to improved benefits.

The City of Kamloops receives 10 per cent of revenue from casinos in the community.

The city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, said the significant drop in revenue at Cascades did not severely impact city hall’s coffers.

Humphrey said the city was down $120,000 from the previous fiscal year, noting the money had not yet allocated.

The city typically receives about $2.7 million in gaming funds annually, but

does not allocate the funds until they are received as they are not guaranteed.

Humphrey said the city did not get hit as hard as it could have when it came to gaming grants, as a result of the city having two casino facilities.

Essentially, the gamblers who normally visited Cascades simply drove across the river during the labour dispute and kept playing at Chances Casino in Brocklehurst.

The report also notes that Chances’ revenues increased last year.

In the 2018-2019 fiscal year, revenues at the facility totalled $23.5 million, up $4.3 million from 2017-2018, when it reported $19.2 million in revenues.

Chances’ slot revenue shot up, to $22.4 million in 2018-2019, compared to $15.8 million in 2017-2018.

Communities such as Vernon were more likely to take a greater hit as a result of the Gateway Casinos strike, with only one casino in town.

Out of the Cold program needs a new home SHELTER PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS HAD FOR YEARS OPERATED AT ST. PAUL’S ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Out of the Cold shelter program is looking for a new home and executive director.

The extreme weather shelter, which ran under the tutelage of recently deceased Bud Forbes, will no longer operate in the basement of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral downtown.

The shelter board is discussing next steps with The Mustard Seed New Life Community Kamloops and the city.

“We are in the process of trying to put together a new plan for Out of the Cold because the cathedral is thinking that the area needs a rest,” Out of the Cold board chair Kathy Moore told KTW. “We’re trying to find a new spot for it and we’re actually actively in contact with Mustard Seed and Natalie Serl [City of Kamloops housing and homelessness project manager], and so we’re trying to put together some plans for this fall.”

The shelter has operated for years in the basement of the

church at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue, with volunteers providing a hot meal, bed and clothing to the homeless from November through March, when the temperatures are typically coldest in Kamloops.

Last year, the program expanded to include Out of the Heat, providing refuge during the hottest days of the summer.

As the mercury hit mid-30s this

week, however, the shelter has remained closed.

Moore said the city came to the shelter to fund the program last summer, in part to help combat the impacts of smoke inhalation on the homeless, due to the city being socked in for a second straight year as a result of wildfires in the region.

While the smoky skies have

remained absent so far this summer, there remains a demand for refuge from the heat, with Moore noting the city’s homeless have sought shady areas and have settled along the river banks, where it’s cooler.

As the board works out a plan for the fall and winter, Moore said: “We would love for somebody else to step up and help us because

we’re one cathedral.”

Asked if the new location will allow the program to offer similar capacity and programming, Moore said it depends on where they end up.

Two locations being discussed are The Mustard Seed’s former Thrift City building and Value Village, both of which are in the 400-block of Seymour Street.

Moore is seeking input from churches and is calling for any information about a potential new location.

“I want to make sure people don’t think that we have given up,” Moore said. “We’re really, truly — our hearts are in it and we’re trying to find something that’s suitable for us.”

Moore said Out of the Cold is also seeking to hire an executive director.

The former chair, Forbes, was training Moore to succeed him before he died earlier this year.

Moore said it is a “gigantic position,” noting the board decided to hire an executive director to tackle fundraising and more.

“I don’t think we could ever find another Bud Forbes,” she said.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL, BUT THEY DO

F

our mass shootings in the U.S. in about a week have left 31 dead in Gilroy, Calif., El Paso, Tex.; Dayton, Ohio and Brooklyn, N.Y. Before we proclaim “that couldn’t happen here,” don’t forget about the murders in northern B.C. or the recent killings in

Penticton.

It is likely the people of New Zealand also thought “that can’t happen here” — until 51 people were killed at mosques in Christchurch.

It could happen here, though it is less easily thanks to Canada having more rational gun laws. But all it takes is an unbalanced individual with a grudge and a weapon, which could be anything from a gun to a car.

No, Canadians are just as capable of murder as anyone in the U.S. Stronger gun ownership laws would further help prevent such an incident in Canada, while in the U.S., any rational approach to gun ownership would help. That’s the easy part. The harder part is changing hearts and minds to steer people away from hatred.

It’s not as strong as in the U.S., but Canada is also seeing a rising tide of anti-immigrant sentiment and that is a cause for worry. The El Paso shooting, at least, seems to have been motivated by racism, like the Christchurch shooting or the one at a Pittsburgh synagogue late last year. For far too many people, anyone with a different colour of skin, religion or culture becomes an easy target to blame for whatever is going wrong, even with gradual changes in Canadian culture.

As much as worrying about guns, that kind of racism and bigotry also has to be guarded against. As long as we fear others in these ways, there is always the chance some unbalanced individual is going to take it into their head “to protect our Canadian way of life” — however twisted their Canadian way of life may be.

That Canadian way of life, however, is one that is based on equality, inclusivity and fairness. There may be a long way to go, but the idea is to build a just society. You don’t protect those ideals by killing people.

Universal income for 99%

T

he creeping growth of automation in our retail environment has led to heated debate on social

media.

My boss, KTW editor Christopher Foulds, got the discussion started last Friday by writing about a sudden increase in the number of self-serve checkouts at the local Walmart.

His column was followed by a couple of letters in this past Wednesday’s newspaper, as well as some robust discussion on the KTW Facebook page.

There are people on both sides of the issue — those who believe using self-checkouts is more efficient, allowing them to get on with their day faster, and those who shun the machines because they fear automation is costing people jobs.

It’s clearly an emotional issue, with people on both sides debating their points passionately — and it’s easy to see reasons to agree with either team.

But this rage against the (literal) machine is futile.

Automation is here to stay, whether we like it or not. The new additions at Walmart are just the start. There will be more retail locations introducing selfcheckouts in the months and years ahead.

On top of that, Amazon is preparing to start using drones to deliver packages.

And, on top of that, we’re probably 10 to 20 years away from seeing long-haul truck drivers replaced with self-driving vehicles.

TODD SULLIVAN Another

VIEW

Those are just three quick examples of a trend that isn’t slowing down because automation is safer, easier and, most importantly, cheaper.

For a corporation, that’s a lot of pros without any cons.

So, what are we to do? Boycott stores like Walmart that move toward automating jobs that were previously handled by humans? People have been threatening to boycott Walmart and other retail giants for decades, yet share values keep climbing.

No, we need to consider how to live in a world with the kind of job losses that are coming as a result of automation.

There is only one logical answer and some of you might not like it.

It’s a universal basic income.

I know, I know — this is a kind of socialism, right? And socialism is a word with plenty of negative connotations lately. But let’s take a deep breath, calm down and really think about this.

Because there are two ways

we can go in this post-automation world toward which we are barrelling: 1. The top one per cent will continue to suck in even more profits than ever before, while many at the bottom, who are no longer employable, will suffer, lose money and property and maybe even die.

2. The one per cent will still keep bunches of money, but the rest of us — even those who are unemployable — get some too, and we can all afford to live in homes, and eat, and feed our children, and be productive members of society.

I think it’s obvious as to which of those two possibilities is more appealing.

Arguments for a universal basic income have existed for decades, with proponents sitting on both sides of the political spectrum.

Former U.S. president Richard Nixon and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. both agreed with the ideas behind a universal basic income.

Technology giants Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are current proponents of the possibility.

We’re rapidly moving toward a world in which more and more people will be fighting for fewer and fewer jobs at companies that are continuing to amass wealth at a staggering rate.

It’s a system that simply can’t sustain itself.

We need to change the system, dramatically, to survive. todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IT’S ALL ABOUT TRADE Editor: Should Americans be permitted to purchase prescription medications at Canadian prices in Canada?

Of course.

Canadians and Americans have always been great trading partners in a partnership based on friendship and mutual respect.

So, as soon as the U.S. returns the dollars collected from Canada via tariffs, let free trade in medication begin.

Let’s make both countries great again!

ASK AN ADDICT HELPS ME

Editor: Re: The Ask An Addict column in the June 19 edition of KTW (‘Many are living in the shadows’): After reading the column, I was horrified to learn that addiction is something to which some medical professionals speak about with obvious fear.

In the column, the writer told of how a nurse told a mom that she was happy when drug addicts died as this meant they would not infect other people.

The truth is we are all addicts in one way or another.

I was a smoker from the age of 18 to the age of 69. Smoking is addicting, but I am not hated.

How many of us are addicted to exercise, food, talking too much, Internet use, spending or gambling?

These addictions may be hidden, but they are out there.

People may argue the preceding list does not include drugs, but those addictions do bring peace of mind to the user, which is why people become addicted to them.

Drugs have been in all cultures from the beginning of time, but some cultures have reacted with wisdom.

Portugal’s radical drug policy — in which it decriminalized all drugs in 2001 — is working. but why hasn’t the world copied it?

We need to declare drug use legal, control it like we do alcohol and keep the profits for social welfare.

Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll will be with us forever. We need to look the dragon in the eye and tell it we

will help it help us.

Drug cartels do this with violence, but we know how to implement our brilliance into creating an inclusive, compassionate society in which all can exist, warts and all.

Congratulations to the person who writes KTW’s Ask an Addict column. I read it with interest every time and I feel I am being given information I can use in my life.

I hope the writer keeps telling us how he or she is faring.

Danielle Dunn-Morris Kamloops Editor’s note: The next Ask An Addict column is scheduled to appear in the Aug. 14 print edition of KTW. All Ask An Addict columns can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

GETTING THE SHAFT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Editor: B.C. is expensive.

In July, we were in Calgary, where a litre of gasoline was 91 cents.

When we got back to B.C., it was $1.39 a litre.

Why is this?

My annual ICBC bill is $1,450 — even with a discount.

In Alberta, private insurance is half that amount.

Why are we in B.C. getting ripped off?

FOX STAFF WERE SO FANTASTIC Editor: The servers at the Fox ‘n Hounds Pub in Sahali Mall did Kamloops proud on the night of Aug. 2.

I am writing to publicly thank them for their hospitality and kindness.

My 10-year-old son and I arrived at Vancouver International Airport from Japan that afternoon, then took an Ebus to Kamloops, which dropped us off in a parking lot behind Sahali Mall at 10:40 p.m.

Other bus passengers were shuttled off.

Due to my error, which I realized later, my sister was not there to pick us up. The parking area felt dark, empty and strange and some rowdy young men were about.

We were in need of a washroom and a place to wait.

I entered the pub and asked the staff for help.

They allowed us to wait with our luggage, served us complimentary juice (and refused payment), helped me reach my sister and permitted us to use their washroom.

I am grateful.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE GHOSTS OF POLITICS PAST AND PRESENT

MACHIAVELLIAN MACHINATIONS AT PLAY Editor: Re: Ingrid Rice’s editorial cartoon that was published in the July 26 edition of Kamloops This Week (seen above): An editorial cartoon is able to capture the truth in a way in which commentary cannot.

Rice’s cartoon gives an explanation for the state of our political system — at least, in the absence of research.

The explanation involves the voters and politicians.

Voters have “the attention span of a gnat and minds like sieves”.

Politicians use these factors in their Machiavellian machinations to pull a bluff on the voters — in the interests of the politicians, of course.

We are doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, which makes us fools, as observed by Albert Einstein.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

What would it take to bring change? Divine intervention?

Should we add a course in civics to the high school curriculum, covering government

and electoral systems?

The fundamental concerns of the first past the post voting system are low voter turnout, wasted votes (ballots that do not go to elect someone) and distorted results (outcomes that do not reflect the popular vote).

The governors use those conditions, coupled to voters with short memories and “simple” minds, to keep themselves in control.

Ray Jones Kamloops

Editor: Sometimes politics can be a bit of a cruel game.

Canadians are about to endure a federal campaign leading to an election on Oct. 21.

Already the candidates and campaign teams are vying for every precious vote.

In the last municipal election, I supported a candidate with the idea that a newbie might be different.

Yes, a newbie might even investigate what I had taken to be a case of, for lack of a better term, nepotism, happening in the framework of public life.

Lawn space for a sign and a couple of hours of hoofing it around the neighbourhood were the only real investments made.

I guess there was also a conversation or two with others to help influence a vote of support at the polls.

There was a bit of disappointment when the report came back that no record existed of my concern and, indeed, I was made to feel I had perhaps been hallucinating.

Or, as Chris Kempling pointed out in his recent KTW Faith column, perhaps I had seen ghosts.

It seems kind of creepy, for who would ever admit to our council chambers being haunted?

Just to be safe, I think it best not to put my neck out supporting a municipal candidate next time around.

And, indeed, I shall think twice about going the extra mile in the upcoming federal election campaign.

After all, who would imagine the ghost of Sir John A. Macdonald wandering around the Parliament buildings?

John Noakes Kamloops

LINING UP FOR THE CASHIERS Editor: Re: KTW editor Christopher Foulds’ column of Aug. 2 (‘Automatic for the people’), in which he writes about the inevitability of automation like self-serve checkouts prevailing in the end.

I will not use the self-checkouts in Walmart and I think it’s disgusting if those checkouts lead to job losses.

If you go online and search, you will find that some large grocery stores in Europe tried the same thing.

It seems the people in Europe are smarter than the people here. They refused to shop where self-checkouts were located and the stores ended up bringing back cashiers.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Vehicles are parked on CP Rail land along West Victoria Street that the city hopes to acquire in exchange for new fencing that would replace the existing chain link.

City eyeing land on West Victoria owned

by Canadian Pacific MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

When you prioritize your health and mobility it’s easier to get out and play. Our approachable and knowledgeable vitamin and supplement staff can help you put together a personalized program that will increase your energy and vitality.

1350 SUMMIT DRIVE, KAMLOOPS naturesfare.com

More green space could be added along the West Victoria Street corridor if the City of Kamloops can swing a deal with Canadian Pacific Rail.

The city’s chief executive officer, David Trawin, said the municipality wants to lease a chunk of land CP Rail owns west of the Sun Life Financial Building in the 200-block of the street in exchange for new fencing that would replace the existing chain link.

A potential agreement is chugging along as the city has sent the CPR a drawing showing the setbacks for the fencing and landscaping plans for the area, Trawin told KTW. Trawin said he does not yet know how much the lease would be or what fencing would cost.

“We’re still working through all those numbers,” Trawin said. “We want to make sure that both parties contribute and both parties benefit.”

The city plans to plant grass in that area, mirroring landscaping along other parts of the arterial route, such as the greenery next to the nearby BC Lottery Corporation headquarters.

According to Trawin, CPR

has safety concerns regarding people crossing the track and cutting the chain link fence to apparently access the South Thompson River.

The city is proposing to mitigate those concerns with better fencing in exchange for the land.

“We feel it’s a win-win scenario,” Trawin said.

“It is a key corridor with huge amounts of cars coming by every day and we figure it would add to the corridor by having that piece and, obviously, the fencing is something which, as a municipality, we’d like to work with CP [on] to keep people safe,” he said.

The intent is to replace the chain link on the north side of the tracks from the Sun Life building to the Overlanders Bridge overpass, with new fencing that is difficult to cut or climb over — steel slats being one possibility.

The exact amount of fencing has yet to be finalized.

There may be additional fencing along the route or fencing added to the south side of the tracks, but those are details that have yet to be determined, Trawin said.

The CPR land is now being used for parking and Trawin said the city is also exploring the possibility of fitting in some designated stalls.

The city, however, doesn’t plan to extend the sidewalk being installed on the north side of West Victoria Street as part of the roadwork past the Sun Life Financial building if it acquires the land.

Trawin noted the sidewalk connecting to the bridge is on the south side of the road.

Beautifying the land was included in planning and budgeting for the ongoing road rehabilitation project, pending approval from the CPR, which the city approached with an official request earlier this year.

“This would not be a cash addition to the project,” Trawin said, noting final costs will depend on how the agreement comes together.

As road paving for all four phases of the West Victoria Street project is expected to be completed by the end of autumn, the city is hoping to finalize a deal with the railway as soon as possible.

The $13-million West Victoria Street reconstruction project began this past April.

Crews are replacing century-old water and sewer lines and moving power lines underground along the street from First Avenue to Overlanders Bridge, while beautifying the corridor with new landscaping and wider sidewalks.

New funding to help arriving refugees MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another Syrian refugee family will resettle in Kamloops thanks to the Refugees and Friends Together (RAFT) program.

RAFT, which sponsors refugees through the Kamloops United Church, expects the family of four to arrive this fall and is looking for more volunteers to help support the quartet — something the group finds harder to secure than funding.

Members of the group were at a public meeting at Kamloops Immigrant Services on Wednesday to hear about new funding from the University of Ottawa’s The Refugee Hub, which is encouraging local residents and workplace-based groups to access its fund to sponsor UNHCR-referred refugees.

Kamloops is one of several B.C. communities being visited this week to promote the Blended Visa Office Referred (BVOR) fund.

The fund helps cover the first year of the refugees’ living expenses groups like RAFT are responsible for providing — half coming from government and the other half available through the university’s fund, said Refugee Hub director of innovation and development,Tara Templin.

The fund is offering groups an extra $5,000 per case, up to $50,000, to cover administrative costs in addition to the funding available for the sponsorship costs, Templin said.

The additional money can help RAFT

stretch its funds further, said RAFT committee volunteer Martha Asbaugh.

“We can do more and help more families in the long run with the Refugee Hub’s assistance,” she said.

Templin said the Refugee Hub wants to be able to resettle the 1,650 refugees who are waiting to come to Canada this year.

The Refugee Hub dolled out $3.5 million to 152 groups to cover refugee resettling expenses in 2018.

“What’s interesting about this is normally the groups fundraise, but this [fund] enables people who are working and not retired to be able to sponsor because we don’t have to spend the hours and hours it takes to fundraise,” Templin said.

Refugees are resettled by community groups like RAFT, working with a sponsorship agreement holder, (SAH) such as Kamloops United Church.

The groups of volunteers do the on-ground work of helping a family with tasks, such as finding housing, medical and education services, while the SAH is an organization that oversees and supports those volunteers.

Any Canadian group of volunteers of five or more working with a SAH can submit an application to BVOR program to sponsor a refugee or refugee family from now until the end of August.

“The BVOR program is great because it provides us with a reasonably fast turnaround,” said Asbaugh.

peer-reviewed academic journal Science.

The cloud, called a pyrocumulonimbus, formed over the wildfire and sent black carbon high into the atmosphere, said the study’s co-author Alan Robock, a distinguished professor in the department of environmental sciences at Rutgers.

The scientists used a climate model from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the U.S. to forecast the movement of the dark cloud high into the Earth’s stratosphere, where there is no rain, Robock said.

“This smoke that lofted up, that’s what our climate models told us would happen if we put smoke in [the model] as a result of fires from burning cities and industrial areas as if there was a nuclear war,” he said.

The smoke lasted more than eight months in the stratosphere, where there is no rain to wash it away, the study said.

When soot heats up and extends higher into the stratosphere, the process is known as selflofting, it said.

“We had never observed it actually happen,” Robock said.

“This natural occurrence validated what we had done before in our climate models, so it gave us more confidence that what we were doing was correct.”

The team of researchers, including Robock, plugged the data from the B.C. wildfires into

their software and successfully compared the real and the projected results, validating their ongoing climate modeling.

Robock has been studying and modeling the potential impacts of a so-called nuclear winter since 1984.

Even a relatively small nuclear war between India and Pakistan would, for example, send soot into the stratosphere, causing unprecedented climatic cooling, he said.

“The temperatures wouldn’t get below freezing in the summer like they would with a war between the United States and Russia,” he said.

“But it would still have devastating effects on agriculture around the world, far removed from where the bombs were dropped.

Robock added that global cooling as a result of nuclear war is by no means a solution to the global heating occurring today.

In the case of nuclear winter resulting from a nuclear war between large superpowers, Robock said temperatures would dip below freezing in the summertime and stay there for years, causing starvation as agriculture grinds to a halt around the world.

The wildfire smoke cloud contained 0.3 million U.S. tons of soot, while a nuclear war between the United States and Russia could generate 150 million tons, Robock said.

The mosquito species most likely to carry West Nile virus is most active in August.

West Nile virus is a disease that is spread from infected corvid birds to humans through mosquito bites. It was first detected in B.C. in the South Okanagan during the summer of 2009.

The risk of becoming seriously ill from West Nile virus infection is low for most people; however, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are more at risk.

Interior Health offers the following tips: • Prevent mosquito breeding around your home by removing standing water.

• Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn.

• Wear protective clothing — loose fitting, lightcoloured, full-length pants and a long-sleeved shirt.

• Use mosquito repellent on all areas of skin.

No joke — she won $500,000 DORIS COSTAIN’S LOTTO 6/49 TICKET OF JULY 31 MATCHED ALL FOUR EXTRA NUMBERS DRAWN THAT DAY — 1, 17, 74 AND 79 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A joke to a friend about winning the lottery turned out to be an unexpected reality for Kamloops resident Doris Costain, who is $500,000 richer after she matched all four Extra numbers — 1, 17, 74 and 79 — on her July 31 Lotto 6/49 ticket.

“My friend came over for breakfast and told me someone in Kamloops had won,” Costain said. “I told her, jokingly, that it was me. When we went out shopping, I checked the ticket and found out I hadn’t been joking — I had won.”

Costain, who purchased her winning ticket at a lottery kiosk in Aberdeen Mall, is overjoyed with how the win will change her life.

“I always said that if I have my health, I’ve won the lottery. Now I have really won the lottery and I am so happy,” she said.

Coming from a big family with several nieces and nephews, Costain is looking forward to sharing her winnings with her loved ones and also spoiling herself a bit.

She is excited about what her win will mean for her future as she enjoys retirement.

“My dreams would be to upgrade my vehicle and help out some family members,” Costain said. “I was also dreaming of a trip to Ireland — and now it can be a reality.”

Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lot-

Players pay $3 to choose one set of six numbers between 1 and 49. The Extra option has players paying $1 and having a set of four numbers between 1 and 99 at play on the ticket.

Matching all four numbers is worth $500,000. Matching three of the four numbers carries with it a $1,000 prize.

Matching two of the four numbers is

good for $10, while matching one of the four numbers is worth a dollar.

In the July 31 Lotto 6/49 Extra draw, the one ticket in Kamloops — Costain’s — matched all four numbers, while 45 tickets (purchased anywhere across Canada) matched three numbers.

There were 2,471 tickets nationwide that matched two of the four numbers and 51,772 tickets across the country that matched one of the four numbers.

RALLYING FOR RIEL AND HIS FAMILY MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Shock permeated Kamloops resident Bonnie Lepine Antoine when she learned infant son Riel had a brain tumour.

“It’s like life just stopped,” she told KTW. “You’re shaking, you’re panicking, you can’t come to grips.

The nine-month-old had surgery in July to remove most of the golf ball-sized mass, but a portion in his brain stem could not be excised, meaning Riel now requires months of chemotherapy.

“Plan A is chemo and we’re hoping that it [will] kill the cancer cells in that tumour that’s still in the stem of the brain,” Lepine Antoine said. “That’s the most dangerous part, is having a tumour in the stem.”

Having spent six weeks at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver with husband Frank Antoine while their son fights for his life, the mother of three is appealing

for financial support via a GoFundMe campaign.

The parents will be tied to the hospital’s oncology ward as Riel’s treatment will last until at least the end of January.

Lepine Antoine works as a teacher at École Collines-d’or, the city’s francophone school, but her maternity leave is ending and she will need to take an unpaid leave in order to stay with her son. Her husband runs Moccasin Trails — a tour company that gives people authentic Indigenous experiences.

“His biggest season is now and he hasn’t been able to work,” she said, noting she would prefer that they both stay with their son as Riel needs constant supervision.

“Nurses don’t come in and hold your baby. We’ve got a sick baby that we have to hold … 24/7, so my husband does night shift and then we switch every three hours during the day,” Lepine Antoine said.

“We’re bound to this baby who needs us right now.”

Riel’s chemotherapy began last weekend.

“It’s so hard. I have to breastfeed this kid that’s kind of toxic,” she said. “We have to wear gloves to change him.”

If they can’t raise enough money to help them stay with Riel, one of the parents will need to return to Kamloops to work.

“Then it becomes really stressful because then it’s one person dealing with all this,” Lepine Antoine said.

“We’re here until the end of January, that’s for sure, and our son is in a bedroom 24 hours a day. He might be able to get out on the ward to go for walks down the hall.”

Lepine Antoine described the weeks in hospital as fear-filled.

At only nine months of age, multiple surgeries then one day’s good and then more news,” she said, noting some of the hardest days were the five weeks during which they waited for test results that revealed the tumour was malignant.

“You become delusional,” Lepine Antoine said. “There’s times where I would go away and puke because I’m so sick to my stomach.”

The family welcomed their third child last November and Lepine Antoine recalls newborn Riel as a happy baby. But he would cry a lot, sometimes for hours, which struck his mother as unusual, even for a baby.

When he was about six months old, Lepine

Lepine Antoine said her son sustained a bone infection during surgery and he had to go under the knife again to have a piece of skull removed.

Riel was also diagnosed with an inguinal hernia before he arrived to BC Children’s Hospital, but has since had an operation to fix that issue as well.

Lepine Antoine said it’s been difficult to watch her son endure multiple surgeries, sedations and high doses of antibiotics inserted via tubes into his body.

“It’s like a rollercoaster. One day is good and then more news, and

Antoine noticed Riel had torticollis — a condition in which the head leans to one side because of contracted neck muscles.

When she sought medical advice in Kamloops, Riel’s crying was chalked up to colic and physiotherapy was recommended to treat the torticollis, she said.

It wasn’t until the family of five took a trip to Victoria, where Lepine Antoine has family, that they discovered Riel had a brain tumour. Seeking additional medical advice at a hospital in Victoria, Riel was given an ultrasound on his head and neck, revealing a tumour in the back of his skull.

“It was like life just

has torticollis — something Lepine Antoine said doctors haven’t been able to explain as they thought removing the tumour would correct that condition.

She advised parents to keep searching for answers in the medical field if something is wrong with their child.

“Doctors only know so much and there’s a lot

of rare things that they don’t see,” she said.

The Antoines raised $7,000 from a previous GoFundMe page to get them through the summer, but are now faced with a much longer time frame with no revenue.

With mortgage payments due and needing to make arrangements to have their other two children cared for at home in

Kamloops when school starts, the parents hope to raise $50,000 to help cover expenses.

Lepine Antoine said it’s difficult to ask for money, but noted the family appreciates even the smallest of donations.

What are Cherry Creek-Savona Official Community Plan (OCP) Amendment Bylaw 2688, 2019, and Zoning Amendment Bylaw 2689, 2019?

Both concern properties at 4796 and 4836 Trans-Canada Highway in Cherry Creek (legally described as Lot A and Lot B, District Lot 550, and of Section 34, Township 19, Range 19, W6M, KDYD, Plan KAP51631), as shown below.

Bylaw 2688 amends the Cherry Creek-Savona OCP by shifting the existing designations on Lot A from Agri-Residential and Commercial to Manufactured Home Park and on Lot B from Agri-Residential to Commercial, all to match the current parcel boundaries and on site development.

Bylaw 2689 amends Zoning Bylaw 2400 by rezoning Lot A from C-3: Highway Commercial to MH-1: Manufactured Home Park. It also amends the zoning of Lot B from MH-1: Manufactured Home Park to C-3: Highway Commercial and enables re-construction of a two family dwelling (lost in a 2018 fire) to be used in conjunction with highway commercial uses.

Bylaw 2689 proposes to adjust zoning to match current parcel property lines.

All persons who believe that their interest in property may be affected by the proposed Bylaws shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing. Additionally, they may make written submissions on the matter of Bylaws 2685, 2688, and 2689 (via the options below) which must be received at our office prior to 9:00 a.m. on the 13th day of August, 2019. The entire content of all submissions will be made public and form a part of the public record for this matter.

How do I get more information?

A copy of the proposed Bylaw and all supporting information can be inspected from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday (except statutory holidays) at our office, from July 26, 2019 until 1:15 p.m. the day of the Hearing; or please contact us via any of the options below.

Homicide answers may come: former senior Mountie COLETTE DERWORIZ

CANADIAN PRESS

Investigators should be able to provide some answers about three homicides in northern British Columbia even though two suspects in the case are believed to

be dead, said a former RCMP assistant commissioner.

The manhunt for Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, from Port Alberni, B.C., ended Wednesday when two bodies were found in dense brush in

Scotland

northern Manitoba.

Mounties have said it could be difficult to determine a motive if the suspects can’t be interviewed.

Peter German, who retired from the RCMP in 2012, said it will be hard, but there

is already some key evidence available that speaks to motive.

“At least one of the individuals seemed to be highly influenced by violent video games,” he said. “His father has spoken publicly about what he believed would

happen — death, suicide, going out in a blaze of glory.

“That all goes to motive.”

McLeod and Schmegelsky were facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Leonard Dyck,

a university lecturer from Vancouver who was found dead along a highway pullout south of Dease Lake, B.C., on July 19.

They were also named as suspects in the shooting deaths of American tourist Chynna Deese and her Australian boyfriend, Lucas Fowler. Their bodies were found four days earlier along a highway near Liard Hot Springs, B.C. Police initially treated McLeod and Schmegelsky as missing persons when their charred vehicle was found not far from Dyck’s body. The pair had told family and friends they were leaving home to find work.

But investigators later deemed them to be suspects and details surfaced about their use of video games.

One account showed Schmegelsky was a frequent player of a shooting game called “Russia Battlegrounds,” and both young men’s Facebook pages were connected to an account with a modified Soviet flag as its icon.

RCMP also said they were investigating a photograph of Nazi paraphernalia sent to another user by Schmegelsky, who was also pictured in military fatigues brandishing an airsoft rifle and wearing a gas mask.

During the manhunt, Alan Schmegelsky told The Canadian Press his son had a troubled upbringing and the father said he expected the young men wanted “to go out in a blaze of glory.”

German said investigators will look at the suspects’ social media accounts, any written documents and communication with family and friends.

“It’s surprising in this day and age with social media what you can find.”

The tougher problem, he said, will be determining why the suspects did what they did in the sequence they did.

It may also be difficult to determine why they ended up in Gillam, he said.

“Did they have some sort of a plan that flowed from a video game that they end up in northern Manitoba?

What was the next step for them?”

The autopsies, which are being done in Winnipeg, could provide some answers about when and how they died.

German said the manhunt in Manitoba will be complete once those results are available.

“They will be providing support to the communities ... and collecting whatever evidence may remain and forwarding that back to British Columbia,” he explained. “Then it goes back to the original investigators in British Columbia to conclude their files.

They’ll have a lot of work ahead of them.

“At the end of the day, they will I’m sure provide some sort of a briefing to the public and certainly to the families to inform them of what has taken place.”

NATIONAL NEWS & GLOBAL VIEWS

Kashmir, the ‘wounded civilization’, strikes back

G

od knows what novelist V.S. Naipaul really meant a half- century ago when he called India “the wounded civilization’ in his traveloguecum-psychoanalysis book about the home of his ancestors.

But it is a handy phrase because it encapsulates the vision that drove Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week to destroy the deal that bound Kashmir to India.

He stripped Kashmir of its autonomy.

There is going to be a war over this — certainly another war in Kashmir, where tens of thousands of people were killed in the last uprising against Indian rule between 1989 and 2007).

There may also be another war between India and Pakistan. There have been three already, of course, so maybe that’s not such a big deal, but this would be their first conflict since they both got nuclear weapons.

When Britain gave up its Indian empire in 1947, the general rule was that Muslim-majority areas went to Pakistan and Hindu-majority areas went to India.

Kashmir was tricky, however, because it was a “princely state,” with a Muslim majority, but a Hindu ruler.

In princely states, which were never under direct British rule, it was the prince who decided.

The maharajah of Jammu and Kashmir (to give the state its full name) hesitated for a while, hoping to turn it into his own independent country. When the new government of Pakistan lost patience and sent tribesmen into Kashmir to overthrow him, he quickly opted for India instead, setting into motion a conflict that continues 72 years later.

At the end of that war, India still held the densely populated Vale of Kashmir and Jammu, but Pakistan controlled the northern and western parts of the former princely state.

The line of control has

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH not shifted since, despite two more Indo-Pakistani wars, and there is no mutually agreed border.

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton once called the cease-fire line “the most dangerous place in the world.”

The Congress Party that led India to independence was militantly secular, but it realized the country’s only Muslimmajority state must have a special status.

Jammu and Kashmir accepted India’s control over foreign affairs, defence and communications, but the J&K legislature kept its authority over everything else.

That included laws forbidding people not born in Jammu and Kashmir to settle in the state or own property there.

Various Indian central governments nibbled away at Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy over the years and there were periods of armed protest

against the erosion of its status.

But the state remained legally autonomous, its rights entrenched in the Indian constitution — until this past Monday, when Modi’s sectarian Hindu government, fresh from its landslide May election victory, swept them all away.

Modi obviously knows he’s asking for trouble. Ten thousand more Indian troops were moved into Kashmir (where there is already a huge military presence) in the past week. On Monday, phone lines in Kashmir were cut, the internet was shut down and elected Kashmiri leaders were arrested.

New Delhi expects at least another uprising in Kashmir and perhaps another war with Pakistan.

Why is Modi doing this?

Because the notion of the “wounded civilization” is at the heart of the Hindu nationalism that has brought Modi to power. According to this simplistic narrative, all of India’s past misfortunes and current problems are due to the fact the Indian subcontinent (South Asia) was conquered and ruled by foreigners for most of the past thousand years.

For the most recent couple of centuries, it was the British empire,

but at least the British went home again. For many centuries before that, it was Muslims — foreign invaders at first, then their Indian-born Muslim descendants and converts — who ruled most of the subcontinent.

And they never went home, as one-third of South Asia’s population, including 15 per cent of India’s, is today Muslim.

Every nationalist movement lays claim to victimhood and, for aggrieved Hindu nationalists, a Muslim-majority Indian state with special rights is a permanent insult. Abolishing those rights was one of Modi’s main election promises and he is now delivering on it.

The Kashmiri insurgency will certainly reignite and Pakistan will feel obliged to help the uprising in some way.

Some thousands will die and Kashmir will be an occupied war zone for a long time to come, but India and Pakistan will probably manage to veer away from all-out war once again.

But maybe they won’t, in which case we will all find out how well mutual nuclear deterrence works between two countries that are actually fighting a war.

Chase wipes out Canadians’ debt CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS

CANADIAN PRESS

Paul Adamson was paying his bills online last week when he came across something curious — the balance on one of his credit cards was wiped clean.

After noticing his bank had removed the Chase Bank credit card from his list of payees, he phoned both and got a delightfully unexpected answer from the customer service agent.

“She said, ‘Actually, you owe no balance,’”said Adamson, 43. The southwestern Ontario resident said he should have owed $1,645.

“I was a little confused and kind of skeptical at her response,’’ he told the Canadian Press.

But a letter from the credit card issuer a day later confirmed that financial institutions are capable of forgiveness.

“I was stunned, I’ll be honest. I just said, ‘Hey, here’s one more thing we don’t need to worry about.’’’

Adamson is just one of the Canadian consumers of Chase Bank who are now off the hook for credit card debt.

The New York-based institution confirmed on Thursday it is forgiving all outstanding debt owed by users of its two Canadian credit cards as part of its exit from Canada’s credit card market.

Chase folded all Amazon and Marriott Visa accounts last year and recently opted to cut its loan losses completely.

Customers with an outstanding balance as of June will no longer see red on their statements, Chase said.

The bank declined to share how much debt was wiped out or how many customers were affected.

For Adamson, a tech writer who, along with his wife, recently moved in with his parents in Dundalk, Ont., to save for a house, the surprise “absolutely’’ comes a big relief.

Adamson said the Canada Revenue Agency is looking into whether his windfall is taxable, but he believes it isn’t since the card was used for personal, rather than business, purchases.

Elena Jara, director of education at non-profit counselling agency Credit Canada, said Chase Bank’s swift exit may indicate it can write off much of the outstanding debt.

“Otherwise, they would still write it off, but they may have to spend more time and effort on how to collect all the outstanding debt, and that may not be good for the bottom line,’’ Jara said.

“There’s also the possibility that the insurance company will cover the losses,’’ she said.

Chase Bank, owned by JPMorgan Chase & Co., decided to quit the Canadian credit card market in March 2018 after 13 years north of the border.

Seduced by lemons, legends on Amalfi Coast CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The stunning mountainside view of Positano on Italy’s Amalfi coast; Ravello Piazza offers historical charm; the allure of blue sky and endless horizon along the Amalfi coast; lemons are often larger than bocce balls.

CHRIS MCBEATH PHOTOS

S

eduction is a fast affair on the Amalfi Coast and, invariably, its legendary scenery and so much more will linger in your heart for years to come.

Picturesque villages cling to high cliffs that drop into a cobalt blue sea.

Narrow roads wind precariously around the rugged Tyrrhernian coastline.

Lemons larger than bocce balls are everywhere — hanging beneath rustling green leaves on terraced landscapes, painted on ceramics, carved into walls, printed onto tea towels, styled into haute couture, crafted into perfumes, distilled into limoncello and flavouring almost every local dish, be it scialatielli ai frutti di mare or linguini.

And, being Italy, food is a serious affair deserving of its own celebration.

If lemons are one Amalfi treasure, its legends are another.

Folklore suggests it was the Roman god Hercules who named the coast for a nymph who had smitten his heart.

When she died, he buried her in what he considered the most beautiful place in the world, surrounded by sea and rocks.

Hercules then built the town of Amalfi over her tomb, which he believed would embody her beauty forever.

But Amalfi’s appeal goes beyond its majestic Duomo di Amalfi (Cathedral of St. Andrew) and its pedestrian alleyways. It reaches up to neighbouring communities straddling the coast, over undulating hills and across to the Island of Capri.

Although much of the region is accessible by car, exploring it on foot will offer much more.

Before the coastal road of

most picturesque towns of all.

Take the fabled Walk of the Gods from the mountain towns of Bomerano, or Agerola. Your reward will be picture perfect Positano.

But be warned — the list of artists who have fallen helplessly in love with the beauty of Positano’s pastel-coloured homes, silvery pebble beaches and wisteria covered walkways is endless.

M.C. Escher, John Steinbeck, Pablo Picasso and actress Liz Taylor have all defined themselves as “willing prisoners of a legendary landscape.”

Perhaps they were equally enchanted by the sirens nearby — those beautiful sea creatures who would lure sailors to their death

with their sweet song.

Or perhaps it was the tale of the Turkish boat that went aground in the bay. It was carrying a painting of the Virgin Mary, who whispered “posa posa” (set me down) to the captain.

He dutifully tossed the image overboard, his ship miraculously floated and the locals, believing the Virgin Mary had chosen their town as a resting place, built a church on the spot where the painting washed ashore.

Ravello, too, is a masterpiece, much favoured by the likes of Richard Wagner, D.H. Lawrence and, later, by Virginia Woolf and other members of the Bloomsbury set.

Today, it still hosts the chic

hairpin switchbacks was completed in 1854, the well-worn mule tracks and precipitous cliff-edge paths were the only viable routes between towns.

They weave around ancient hermitages and convents, past shells of former paper mills, over wooden bridges and beside moss clad waterfalls, shepherds huts and stone houses carved into the limestone.

Tales of pilgrims and smugglers abound — as do the panoramas that quite literally take your breath away, especially if vertigo is an issue.

Then there are the stairs — various corridors of many hundreds of steps that fall vertically down to the shore and lead to some of the

and wealthy — it’s not unusual for Russian oligarchs to arrive by private helicopter on the main piazza.

Ravello’s most colourful tale is that of Landolfo Rufolo, a wealthy 14th-century merchantturned-pirate who, after surviving a shipwreck, returned to Ravello with a treasure chest.

Over subsequent centuries, stories evolved that the fortune was buried in the Villa Rufolo and, by the mid-1800s, locals sought the answer to its whereabouts by holding séances.

The spirit reportedly told them all would be revealed if they would first sacrifice a young child.

To this day, the myth continues.

Sadly, all that was found in the walls of the villa were the remains of a two-year-old boy.

But please don’t let this deter you from walking the villa gardens.

They are nothing short of spectacular, with views that are among the finest you will see.

When you look over the valley to Scala, consider this — one of its patricians, Gerard, was an active Crusader who not only founded the Order of St. John of Jerusalem and a Benedictine hospital, but he and his compatriots also founded the Order of the Knights Templar.

The rest, as they say, is history, but like this story — indeed, like those lemons — it’s an Amalfi “jewel” that is larger than life.

RIBBERS RETURN F

olks who enjoy the tangy taste of barbecue will have reason to celebrate when Ribfest returns to Riverside Park this weekend.

One of Kamloops’ signature events, and an important fundraiser for Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak, Ribfest will run from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Sunday.

It’s Western Canada’s biggest rib festival.

“We’ve got the six competitive

ribbers coming again to do their thing, and of course entertainment on the main stage starts at 11 a.m.,” spokesperson Bryce Herman said.

Competing this year are the same six Canadian ribbers from years past: Boss Hog’s and Gator BBQ from Ontario, House of Q and Smoke and Bones BBQ from B.C., Misty Mountain BBQ from Alberta, and Prairie Smoke and Spice from Saskatchewan.

There will be a variety of entertainment acts on the main stage, but, said Herman, “Closing acts are always the biggest ones.”

BREWLOOPS ORGANIZERS DETAIL FALL FEST BrewLoops/A27

On Friday night, that’s High Voltage, an AC/DC tribute band.

On Saturday night it’s Hysteria, a Def Leppard tribute band. On Sunday, it’s the Johnny McQuaig Band, which Herman described as “alternative bagpipe rockers”.

Sunday might be the best day for families to drop by Ribfest, starting with a pancake breakfast served from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. by the Lions Club in the Heritage House parking lot.

That’s followed by Sunday Happy Hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. where half rack dinners from all participating ribbers will be $4.00 off. Slinging

HOT NITE MARKS 25 YEARS THIS WEEKEND

TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

H

ot Nite in the City, the oldest downtown classic vehicle show in the province, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year — a silver anniversary to match the steel and chrome prevalent at the event.

Ron Popove, chairman and organizer for Hot Nite, has been helping to bring the event to Kamloops for 19 years of those 25 years.

“Nobody wants the job,” he quipped about his longevity.

Hot Nite in the City is a static vehicle display that features everything from cars to pickups and motorcycles to transport trucks. It was started in 1994 by the Kamloops chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada.

“We even have boats this year,” Popove said.

Hot Nite will stretch along Victoria Street from First Avenue to Sixth Avenue. The event will run from Friday through Sunday alongside the popular Ribfest festival in Riverside Park.

(Hot Nite features a Friday night poker run for participants, with the Saturday show and shine the main attraction. Sunday

will see vehicles displayed in Riverside Park at the Ribs and Rods event.)

Music and entertainment will be featured on Saturday along the six-block strip that hosts Hot Nite. There will be a main stage at Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue and DJs at Victoria Street and First Avenue and Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.

New this year is a salmon barbecue competition in the Plaza Hotel parking lot, at Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue.

Hot Nite registration numbers are strong, with more than 300 cars signed up for the event.

People can sign up right until the morning of the event, so those numbers are likely to climb.

Popove said participants hail from Kamloops, across Canada and the U.S. Hot Nite in the City is clearly a big event for car collectors and aficionados.

“I had a guy tell me the other day, if you’re going to do one car show in the summer, you have to go to Kamloops,” Popove said. “A remark like that makes you feel good.”

Popove recommends attendees leave their dogs at home and be conscious of the displays

while avoiding bumping or scratching the valuable vehicles.

He also suggests talking to the owners of the vehicles.

“Every car has a story,” he said.

A notable aspect of Hot Nite is Electric Avenue, with electric vehicles featured along Second Avenue between Victoria and Seymour streets.

Hot Nite in the City has grown substantially since its start in 1994. Originally held on a Thursday night, the show took up only two blocks of Victoria Street.

After moving the event to the weekend, which allowed for more involvement from people outside Kamloops, Hot Nite grew, reaching a high of 546 vehicles for a single show.

Popove praised everyone who works behind the scenes to organize Hot Nite, from the many volunteers, to the city’s help with bylaw officers and trash collection, to the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s involvement.

“Everybody has their little job and they do it very well,” he said.

A schedule of events, a list of sponsors and vendors and more information can be found online at hotniteinthecity.com.

rewLoops, a two-day festival featuring beer and cider, music and attractions, will return to the Kamloops North Shore on Friday, Sept. 27.

More than 30 breweries and cideries will be featured and more than a dozen bands will grace the festival’s two stages — located conveniently by two of the festival’s attactions: bumper cars and a Ferris wheel.

All of that will be set up at a new location this year: the west end of McArthur Island Park, according to organizer Tyson Andrykew.

“We’ll be by the big paved lot by [soccer] fields one and two, encompassing that part of the ring road as well, right across to the dirt lot where the BMX track used to be,” he said.

Andrykew said further maps and plans will be revealed closer to the festival date, and said traffic changes will be part of that information.

“People will park on the arena side of the island and walk over to the event space,” he said.

The location changeup is one the festival has done before.

“For the first few years we were always at Red Beard, but we sort of outgrew that space.

But part of what we enjoy doing is moving it around, and keeping it on the North Shore, for the most part, for the main festival in September,” he said.

Another new aspect this year is VIP tickets, a limited offering for each night of the festival where VIPs will gain access to an exclusive location within the festival grounds.

“That location will have a little bit more of a theatrical theme — Western Canada Theatre is going to be tackling that. … They’re still figuring out what it’s going to look like,” he said. “It’s an event inside of an event.”

VIP ticket-holders will also have their beer and food included for the additional ticket price for

a limited time, which will include specialized casks from featured brewers.

Somewhat more familiar will be the music lineup, but with some notable additions this year.

Friday’s music will feature The Dudes at 9 p.m., Bend Sinister at 7:45 p.m. and Wrecked Beach at 6:30 p.m. on the bumper car stage, while on the Ferris wheel stage, Yvette will play at 8:30 p.m., The Houses (Where We Grew Up) at 7:15 p.m. and The Suz and Johnny’s Blues Band at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, The Zolas will headline on the bumper car stage at 9 p.m., with Rich Hope at 7:45 p.m. and At Mission Dolores at 6:30 p.m. Meanwhile on the Ferris wheel stage, Speak Easy will play at 8:30 p.m., Wrecked Beach at 7:15 p.m. and Jaasjaaz at 6 p.m.

The gates will open at 6 p.m. each evening and a family-oriented part of the event will be held Saturday afternoon, with details to be announced.

Drinks on tap will be served by breweries and cideries including Lighthouse, Phillips, Yellow Dog, Driftwood, Persephone, Merridale, Left Field, Naramata, newcomer Upside Cider and other local favourites.

Tickets are $25 for general admission or $50 for VIP, while drink tickets are $20 for 10, available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

Dead to Rights project still lives Lesniewski’s The Freak MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he show must go on for a Kamloops film studio intent on exploring drug use issues in Canada.

The proposed documentary Dead to Rights didn’t receive enough votes to receive a Telus Storyhive filmmaking grant, but that isn’t stopping Mastermind Studios from exploring other funding options.

“That’s what we’re now focusing on for that particular documentary,” said Mastermind owner Peter Cameron-Inglis.

Dead to Rights is a documentary intent on examining the issue of whether people should be forced to enter treatment because their addictions are interfering with civil society or whether they have the right to continue to use while the public is witness to the impacts of addictions.

The film studio has identified a number of organizations to pursue financial support from and now it’s just a matter of submitting proposals, Cameron-Inglis told KTW. He said a number of provincial ministries and the Stollery Charitable Foundation are among

the groups Mastermind is asking to support the project.

The Storyhive grant totalled $50,000 to produce a 20-minute film, but Cameron-Inglis said Mastermind is looking to raise $90,000 in order to “do a really good job.”

He said if they have to produce the film for less money they will.

“Dead to Rights is a story that needs to be told, that everybody wants to be told,” Cameron-Inglis said.

The documentary will involve ASK Wellness staff, a pair of judges, a doctor, former corrections officer, Mayor Ken Christian and Coun. Dale Bass.

Expenses for the film will include research materials, travel, film crew, renting gear and post production and distribution costs.

“There’s a lot to it,” he said.

If the film is made, Mastermind has the flexibility of approaching any number of networks and the film could still wind up on Telus as part of Storyhive’s community access division.

“By not having Telus as a funder we potentially have a much larger audience to draw from,” he said.

Cameron-Inglis said he thinks there will be a lot of interest in

the film because it deals with an issue that impacts every community.

“We want to explore what does it take for us to fix this,” he told KTW, arguing what has been done to this point hasn’t worked.

“The problem with mandated treatment, however, is it infringes on a person’s rights,” Cameron-Inglis said.

Telus Storyhive is a public access competition from Telus that offers production grants and distribution opportunities to filmmakers in B.C. and Alberta.

Thirty projects are selected from a field of hundreds of entries — 15 via public voting and 15 by a panel of judges.

Though disappointed Dead to Rights wasn’t selected, CameronInglis said he was excited to hear there were nearly 20 submissions to the program from the Kamloops region.

“It points to the fact our industry is growing in this region and that’s a good thing,” Cameron-Inglis said.

Two productions from Kamloops were among the films to receive the funding, which Cameron-Inglis said he was overjoyed to hear.

“There’s been years past where none were picked from this area,” he said.

Chamber music series begins with absurdity KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Chamber Musicians of Kamloops will begin their 20192020 music series with A Foray Into the Absurd, featuring music ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime.

The performance will feature the Echéa String Quartet, a string quartet based in London, England, formed in 2017 by postgraduate students from the Royal Academy

of Music, where they now hold the role of fellowship string quartet.

The group is made up of finalists and prizewinners of the International Anton Rubinstein Chamber Music Competition (2018) and finalists in the Royal Overseas League Music Competition (2019).

Music will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. Tickets are $25, available in

advance online at cmk.eventbrite. ca or at the door.

Chamber Musicians of Kamloops is a non-profit organization that formed in 2009 with a mission to inspire appreciation of the beauty of chamber music.

The group will present one concert every month, except December, until May 2020. For more information, go online to chambermusiciansofkamloops. org.

is a gem among manure

T

he internet is a strange place, filled with all manner of knowledge, information, degeneracy and reprobates. It has value, like growing vegetable crops in manure, except there’s probably way more manure than you need. And I mean way more than you need. Think of a rubber duck floating in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

That’s what the internet is.

One of the most difficult parts of dealing with filtering and sorting through the internet is trying to find new things that appeal to you.

Oh, sure, Amazon and Facebook are constantly trying to tell you what they think you want with their useless privacy-invading algorithms, but that’s nonsense.

So you trudge and trudge through the manure and sometimes you get lucky and find something you like on your own.

Carefully navigating through the social minefield that is Twitter, and mind-numbingly scrolling through the mediocrity and vapidity that is Instagram, I managed to find an artist I quite liked.

Although he’s often describe as having a more European style with his extreme amount of fine detail and line work, I find comic creator Matt Lesniewski’s work to resemble more like a stretched out and malformed John Romita Jr., particularly due to both of their heavy use of long hatching lines.

Romita Jr. is best known for his 1990s work on Spider-Man, Punisher, and X-Men, but also as the co-creator of Kick Ass, which then in turn was adapted into a couple of movies.

Lesniewski’s work, so far, has nothing really to do with any of those titles — it’s just strictly a visual style — although he does

post some great commission drawings of those kinds of characters on his social media platforms, so I guess there is that connection, as well.

Following Lesniewski’s work online, I recently discovered he was publishing his own graphic novel called The Freak.

Naturally I had to order some copies for our store. Although I was completely unfamiliar with the character, I was willing to give it a chance, because not only do I enjoy his art, I also thought it was important to support a burgeoning independent comic creator that I liked.

Published in black and white, drawn with a ludicrous amount of fine black line detail, The Freak is a bizarre story of a supposedly hideous man who is routinely beaten and pummeled for allegedly being hideous. Consumed by a need for vengeance, the Freak is an outsider who struggles with acceptance and belonging, or giving into violence and remaining an outsider.

The Freak is truly a unique character study by a talented artist.

Fitness testing and a training session on Tuesday at Hillside Stadium in temperatures hovering around 35 C had the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team gassed, with players grasping at water bottles while first-year head coach Mark Pennington wrapped practice with a few words of encouragement.

It won’t always be that gruelling, but this tryout will last all season.

Pennington is inheriting a squad that consists mostly of players he did not recruit. Much of the Durham City, England, product’s time since being hired in February has been spent on the crop of 2020, his first true recruiting class.

“When the players come in, one of the first questions is, ‘How was your summer?’ I haven’t had one,” said Pennington, who has been scouring for talent at events in Ontario, Shawnigan Lake and on the Lower Mainland, among other places, during the last six months.

“I’m trying to turn over every stone and look at as many players as possible and find the types of players that fit in with what we’re trying to create from an on-field perspective, but also their mentality and also their character off the field is really big for me.”

Some of those players are already here, holdovers from the Kelly Shantz era who will earn the trust of their new bench boss.

Some of the players here now will be gone next season.

Chantal Gammie, a secondyear forward from Smithers, seems among the safe bets to make a smooth transition, having led TRU with seven goals last season, five more than secondL O R D E C A R B T S A R I N A S

“I really like his coaching style,” Gammie said of Pennington, who was vocal during mini-scrimmages and easily heard at Hillside on Tuesday. “He’s really positive and seems to know his stuff. Everyone really likes him. There is lots of new talent, which is great, and the whole team is just a little bit older, a little bit more comfortable.”

ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD FOUND ON A35

“There are a lot of new faces, for sure,” said Miller, a fifth-year forward who last played for the WolfPack in 2015, when Tom McManus was head coach. “We have a few goals in mind. This is the start.”

The Pack have a minus-122 goal differential since joining U Sports in 2014. When Pennington got wind of offensively-adept Miller’s return to TRU, he was quick to begin dialogue.

“I’m still in shape, still active, so I might as well play it out. Not knowing many girls is nice,” said Miller, a Westsyde secondary graduate who is pursuing a degree in education. “I like coming back

to a whole fresh team, a fresh start and a new coach. It’s definitely a lot more intense than I’m used to. I can tell all the girls are really putting it all out there for him, so that’s really good.”

Pennington was asked if anyone in particular made a strong first impression on Tuesday. He mentioned Miller, goalkeeper Mae Hobenshield (who made a series of formidable diving stops during scrimmages) of Port Coquitlam, forward Solaine Sasakamoose of Burnaby, midfielder Daniella Falsetta of Kamloops and midfielder Rylee Mugridge of Maple Ridge.

“But, honestly, every single

recruit stepped in today and did a really good job,” Pennington said.

“We’ve got some targets we’ve set out. We’ll keep most of them inhouse, but to say the playoffs are out of the question, I don’t think that’s the case. Year 1 might be a touch too early. I didn’t really get a recruiting class of my own, but the recruits coming in are decent, so it’s not out of the question.”

The team’s lack of punch up front in 2018 (an average of one goal per game) was a problem.

Defensive structure, with 32 goals allowed in 14 contests, wasn’t much better.

TRU has a record of 13-47-7 since joining U Sports and has only once qualified for the postseason, in 2015, when it was thumped 6-1 by UBC in Round 1.

Athletic director Curtis Atkinson and those he reports to are not expecting Pennington to transform a team that was 3-9-2 last year into a 2019 championship contender, but they will want to see progress, as will any player thinking about signing with the WolfPack.

Pennington wants his team to surrender fewer goals and corners.

Players have to be tough, physical.

Hard work is mandatory. Practices are going to be intense.

If improvements lead to a playoff berth, great, but missing the post-season won’t be the end of the world, at least not this year.

“I think he just has the right mindset — to work on individual people and see how they fit in with what we want to do, to combine all the pieces we have,” Verdiel said.

More pieces are coming. Cogs wishing to remain have a long tryout ahead.

For Kamloopsians who don’t know, the city has a cricket club.

And now is a good time to find out more about it, with a crucial late-season game against Abbotsford scheduled for this Saturday at Rae-More Park in Rayleigh.

“It’s a must-win game for us,” Kamloops Cricket Club captain Varinder Randhawa said at practice on Wednesday night, a training session followed by a team meeting to discuss the pivotal match.

“We have five games left. It’s our last home game. If we win, we’re in a good spot.”

Game time is noon on Saturday. The club plans to have a barbecue fired up for the match, which may not conclude until about 5:30 p.m.

Kamloops (8-1-3) sits fourth in B.C. Mainland Cricket League Division 3 standings and must finish among the top two spots in the league to earn promotion to Division 2 next season.

“We have a pretty deep lineup, in terms of batting,” said Dhaval Admar, the team’s wicket keeper (cricket’s equivalent to baseball’s catcher).

“This year, we have a really good chance of lifting the trophy and being in Level 2.”

The 2019 squad is comprised mostly of players from India, a few of whom joined the club after moving to Canada to study at Thompson Rivers University.

Team manager Simranjit Singh enrolled at TRU in 2016 and joined the KCC in 2017.

“Back in India, cricket is played on every corner,” Singh said. “When students come here, they look for opportunities where they can share in the work-life balance and get away from studies a little bit.”

The club began forming about 15 years ago at TRU. A few players caught on with a Kelowna team in 2009.

By 2012, Kamloops

had its own branch of the Kelowna Kamloops Cricket Club. In 2014, it landed a home field at Rae-More Park.

“The city was super helpful,” said Randhawa, opening batsman and a spin bowler for this year’s team. “They paid for the pitch. We had to buy our mat, but they helped put it down.”

Added Admar: “The only problem is the ground is quite far from Kamloops, so it’s not exposed to the general public. That’s the biggest disadvantage. We are playing for Kamloops, but are outside of Kamloops. That’s why probably not many people know about the cricket team here.”

Many countries have been represented at the club, among them India, South Africa, England, Bangladesh, Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Canada.

The team was forced to begin play in the BCMCL’s lowest tier in 2014, the eighth division, which is actually Division 10, as the Elite and Premier Divisions precede divisions one through eight.

Now in Year 6, the KCC is chasing the toptwo finish that will see it promoted to Division 2 for 2020, with games in hand on third-place Richmond (11-2-0), second place Surrey (10-3-2) and first-place Ahmadiyya Cricket Club (10-2-3).

“It’s crunch time,” Admar said.

THE BASICS A coin flip will decide which team bats first on Saturday.

The team that bats first will try to score as many runs as it can in 45 overs. An over consists of six bowls (cricket’s equivalent to pitches).

The batting team’s inning can be cut short if 10 batsmen are out before 45 overs are finished.

After the first batting team’s inning is over, the teams trade places after a break.

The second team that bats tries to eclipse the number of runs scored by the first team.

Kamloops archers aiming for gold at worlds TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

Local archers Marc Britton, Katie Britton and Miranda Sparkes are headed to Lac La Biche, Alta., in September for the 2019 World Archery 3D Championships.

The Kamloops trio recently took prizes in the Canadian National Archery Championships, with Marc and wife Katie Britton grabbing gold and Sparkes snaring silver.

This will be the first time Marc and Katie have competed at the world level, which is particularly meaningful for him as the husband and wife became Canadian citizens this year.

They came to Canada from Yorkshire, England, seven years ago.

The Brittons shoot in the instinctive bow category, using wooden recurve bows and carbon arrows. Sparkes shoots a longbow with wooden arrows.

“There’s traditional categories, with longbow being the most primitive, a bent stick and wood arrow,” Marc said. “Then instinctive category and barebow, which is a slightly better, more advantageous equipment class.”

Marc said the B.C. archery community has been incredibly friendly, noting he and Katie have enjoyed participating in competitions during the last two years, including the nationals in Nova Scotia in 2018.

With some financial help from the provincial team to cover some travel expenses, the Brittons were able to make the trip, which was their first visit to the Maritime province.

With next year’s nationals in Prince Edward Island and the world championships in Italy in 2021, the couple is considering a few more competitions in the future.

“We could probably fire up the engines again,” he said, laughing.

For now, though, the focus is on the competi-

tion in Lac La Biche next month.

Marc is both excited and nervous at the prospect of representing Canada on the world archery stage.

“The size of the task is not lost on us, but we’re just basically trying to go out there and do the best we can,” he said.

A fundraiser to support the trip to Saskatchewan is

being held on Aug. 24 and Aug. 25 at the Kamloops Target Sports Association outdoor range at the west end of Hillside Drive in Dufferin, west of the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

Raffle tickets and home-baked goods will be available and those wishing to try 3D archery can do so at this event between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on both days.

All equipment and lessons will be provided.

To register your interest in attending one of the have-a-go sessions, email ktsaarchery@ gmail.com. More information can be found on the Kamloops Archers Facebook page.

A L i g h t i n t h e n i g h t. . .

Gregg Drinnan did a little research on Tuesday, digging through online archives to unearth a blog post, the one that started it all.

The earliest Taking Note entry he could find, dated July 7, 2007, took a jab at the Medicine Hat Tigers and their lack of transparency, a fitting beginning for a blog that became must-read material for anyone interested in the Western Hockey League — especially anyone interested in what’s really happening in the WHL. Taking Note — which sought transparency, detailed transactions, provided insider insight, took runs at team and league executives (often with understated flare), discussed rules and player safety (perhaps most notably concussions), included top-quality stories and delved into everything hockey and WHL — no longer exists in its familiar format.

Drinnan, whose wife, Dorothy, underwent a kidney transplant in 2013, plans to

dedicate the blog to all things renal-related, news he broke (he’s done a tonne of that) in an Aug. 1 Taking Note submission.

“Four or five weeks ago, I started to think about the new season and I just didn’t feel the excitement was there and I started think about, well, do I want to go through another hockey season?”

Drinnan told KTW. The answer, discovered after some soul searching, is no.

“At the same time, I thought, well, I can’t just walk away with nothing,” said Drinnan, who turned 68 this past Wednesday.

“I thought, well, maybe I can do something in terms of educating people about kidney disease. That’s what I decided to do.

We’re off and running.”

Longtime readers lit up Drinnan’s Twitter feed and email inbox with messages expressing appreciation for his work — notes from well-respected media types, influential hockey business folks, former colleagues and average Joe readers who have devoured his blog for more than a decade.

“It was unbelievable. I certainly didn’t expect it,” said

Drinnan, a longtime sports scribe who has been retired since the Kamloops Daily News shuttered in 2014.”You’re a writer, so you just write. You don’t write it thinking that anyone is going to read it. You just do it. Of course, you hear from the odd person at the game. You just don’t realize the volume of it, how many people out there read it.

“It’s really humbling to see stuff like that and makes you wonder whether you’re doing the right thing, whether you owe it to those people to keep doing it.

I decided to walk away and we’ll just see how it goes.”

Friends reached out to Drinnan, asking if Dorothy has taken a turn for the worse, but nothing could be further from the truth, he said, noting she is busy preparing for Kidney Walk Kamloops on Sept. 22.

Drinnan, who has been writing about the league regularly since about 1978, took his cue to start Taking Note from blogs such as Regan’s Rant, operated

by Kelowna Rockets’ play-by-play man Regan Bartel.

TSUNAMI HOSTS PROVINCIALS

Claire Bagabuyo competes at last weekend’s Okanagan meet at Brock Pool.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

The Kamloops Tsunami hosted and placed fifth overall at an Okanagan Regional Swimming Championships at Brock Pool last weekend.

The club will now be sending 20 swimmers to the B.C. Summer Swimming Association Championships, which will take place from Aug. 16 to Aug. 18 at the Canada Games Pool in the Tournament Capital Centre.

At the regionals, in Division 1, Kayleigh Roberts finished third in the 50m fly and second in the 50m breaststroke, while Atticus Cooluris finished third in the 50m breaststroke.

Gwenna Faupel finished first in the 100 individual medley, first in the 50m fly, first in the 50m

breaststroke and first in the 100m freestyle in the Open Category 1 division.

In Division 2, Cooper Heide finished second in the 100m individual medley, second in the 50m breaststroke and second in the 100m freestyle while Jared Roberts finished third in the 50m fly and fourth in the 50m breaststroke.

Ryder Litke finished first in the 200m individual medley, first in the 100m fly, first in the 100m breaststroke and first in the 100m freestyle in Open Category 2.

Jack Savage finished first in the 200m individual medley, third in the 100m fly, first in the 100m backstroke and third in the 100m freestyle in Open Category Division 8.

Kate Vanderbeek finished first in the 200m individual medley, first in the 50m freestyle, first in the 100m backstroke and first in the 50m fly in Open Category Division 8.

Book next for Drinnan?

From A32

“When the beginning of the end came for the newspaper business, the first thing to happen is the news hole shrunk.

Less adverting, fewer pages,” said Drinnan, author of Sudden Death: The Incredible Saga of the 1986 Swift Current Broncos.

“We started to get less sports space in the Daily News. I had all these contacts, all this information. What was I going to do? I thought, well, let’s put it on the internet.”

There is a link to donate to Taking Note, but the blog has been predominantly a labour of love.

“If anyone is thinking of doing it to make money, forget it,” said Drinnan, whose career stops include the Winnipeg Tribune, Brandon Sun and Regina Leader-Post.

“People don’t want to pay for news. A

lot of newspapers have found that out.

A couple of times, I thought about trying to set up some kind of subscription deal, but I didn’t want to get married to it, where I felt I absolutely had to write.”

Drinnan had nearly finished an 800-page book on The Beatles when he spoke to KTW on Tuesday morning, a tome he had been meaning to get to for a while.

With time formally dedicated to Taking Note, he will read more and may continue working on another book of his own, one filled with WHL stories and anecdotes.

“Lord knows I’ve seen enough with the Blazers, between the money that went missing a few years ago and what went on prior to the sale and during the sale of the team. I’m sure I could get a chapter or two

out of that,” Drinnan said.

Not everyone will miss Drinnan.

He isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and there were surely at least a few team and league executives, owners and players, present and past, who toasted news of the blog’s shift in focus.

Some of the revellers probably know what it’s like to have Taking Note’s light shining on them.

For many readers, that light is what they’ll miss the most.

“It’s going to take some getting used to,” Drinnan said.

“I suppose it’s kind of like a hockey player retiring before training camp after a lot of years. I’m sure there is going to be some emptiness.

“I’m hoping that writing about kidney disease will help fill at least some of the void.”

FAITH

Can the Ten Commandments be an antidote?

N

owhere in the Bible does it say, “Thou shalt not kill with a HK45 USP pistol or a 9mm or a .45 fire-

arm.”

Neither is there any scripture that shows weapons are to be kept out of the church. But there is scripture that says we are supposed to protect the flock.

Ever since the 2017 shooting in a church in Sutherland Springs, Tex. (where the pastor’s 14-year-old daughter was among the victims), the church has invested in cameras and also implemented a carefully choreographed schedule of volunteers who carry guns both openly and concealed during Sunday services.

In the Beth Yeshurun synagogue in Houston, some congregants now arm themselves, with the aim of protecting others. This is in response to the deadly shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue last October.

In light of violence in communities across the United States, a growing number of churches and other places of worship are either adopting or want armed security.

In these days of mass and targeted shootings, one wonders if the sixth commandment — Thou shall not murder (kill) — has taken a back seat or been somewhat abrogated from the Bible.

I am afraid the Ten Commandments have, for the most part, dropped out of commis-

sion. At the least, neglect of the Ten Commandments is what is wrong with modern life.

It is also most of what is the matter with today’s religion.

Even the churches have been too willing to forget God is the maker of man and the judge of man as truly as He is the creator and the controller of things physical and organic.

Modern man insists man is an exception in the universe.

Everything else must obey the Godgiven law of its being, but not man.

Man can do as he pleases, write his own rules and make his own morality.

This is nonsense, for what is man? Whatever else is true of man, this at least is true of him — man is a creature. He is created and did not make himself.

He is like the flower of grass — today he blossoms, but tomorrow he is cast into the oven.

He spends most of his days

trying to learn how to avoid selfdestruction, though he never learns it well.

Why do we suppose God cares whether or not we obey Him? He gazes, with all-seeing spiritual delight, upon an orderly universe.

Unnumbered galaxies of stars move in celestial rhythm, utterly obedient to the natural law that is the device of the divine lawgiver.

Why, then, should it bother God if one of His creatures, the one called man, make a fool of himself?

Why should God take the trouble to instruct man’s willful absurdity when he thinks the heavens shine for his delectation, who seeks to make the universe a human tool?

Why should God bother with man?

The answer lies in the fact that while man is a tiny creature, man is also a unique creature. The Bible puts this uniqueness in picturesque language when it says that man is made “in the image and likeness of God.” This does not, of course, mean that man resembles God physically. God is not a physical being with a face and a body that can be resembled.

God is pure spirit.

What is meant is that man can do the sort of thing that God does.

Man can create, though his creative powers are very limited.

Man can take the material and manipulate it into something of what he wishes it to be. He can do things with it, not by necessity, but according to his dreams.

He can think a symphony, then compose it. He can think a tool, then devise it. He can think a poem, then write it.

This creative power in man is unique in all the universe. That makes man important, important even to God, as is nothing else which God has made.

Man is exceedingly clever.

But man’s very cleverness may well be man’s undoing. It is easy for him, when he has made some fascinating device, to use that device for self-destructive ends.

On the other hand, Man needs to be taught what is God’s will for him to do with his creative cleverness.

This God has done for man. He has not done it merely by writing 10 words on two tables of stone.

The Ten Commandments of Moses are no unique performance, lightning out of the skies.

They are an epitome of God’s long, continuous message to man about human conduct, a brief of moral truths that man has had to learn by bitter trial and error through the centuries.

They are the conclusions of able minds that have pondered the nature of the good life and have been revealed when humble men and women have bowed in adoration before the eternal.

The reason the Ten Commandments have such authority is that they reduce all this to certain maxims that even the mind of a child can fathom. They can be ignored only at our peril.

Modern people turn from one insoluble problem to a dozen other equal problems. Why are they insoluble?

Because we have lost our way in a tangled forest of pride. There will be no joy for man, no security for society, no morals worth preserving and no ceasing of continued carnage until we lift our eyes beyond our small concerns up toward the heavens, toward the everlasting God. It cannot happen until we cry with a new humility, “When I consider the Heavens, the moon and the stars that You have ordained, what is Man that You are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:3,4).

“O Lord our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth.”(Psalm 8:1).

It is not our skill that will save us, not our technology, not a United Nations founded on national selfinterests and existing by virtue of precarious assent, not our shrewd scheming and not even our benevolent desires.

“Lord, who is the maker of Heaven and Earth, You can save us, You alone.”

Bill 21 appeal to be heard SECULARISM LAW BANS RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS AT WORK CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Quebec’s highest court has agreed to hear an appeal on behalf of groups seeking to suspend the central parts of the province’s secularism law.

Catherine McKenzie, a lawyer for the applicants, said Quebec Court of Appeal Chief Justice Nicole Duval Hesler did not give a reason for granting leave to appeal in a ruling from the bench.

McKenzie said it is rare for a judge to grant leave to appeal a lower court’s decision denying an injunction.

Quebec’s secularism law, known as Bill 21, prohibits some public sector workers, including teachers and police officers, from wearing religious symbols at work.

McKenzie and other lawyers representing a national Muslim organization, a civil liberties group and a university student who wears an Islamic head scarf had asked for an immediate stay of the central components of the law while their full legal challenge

is heard.

They argued the law was causing serious harm to religious minorities because it encroached on federal jurisdiction, it was impermissibly vague and it violated a citizen’s right to participate in their democratic institutions.

But Superior Court Justice Michel Yergeau ruled on July 18 that the groups had failed to demonstrate the law is creating enough damage to warrant the stay.

He noted in his written ruling that the applicants were severely limited in their stay application because Bill 21, adopted

in June, invokes the Canadian Constitution’s notwithstanding clause.

That clause prevents citizens from challenging the law for violating fundamental rights and liberties protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

McKenzie said Duval Hesler will release a written decision later.

A date for the appeal hearing has not been set.

“We asked for an accelerated hearing,’’ McKenzie said in an interview. “So we’re hoping to get heard as soon as possible.’’

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Leonard Jack Kelly

In Loving Memory Of

Matthew Archie Pelletier

With heavy hearts, we write to inform you that Leonard Jack Kelly passed away on July 31, 2019 in Victoria, BC at the age of 78.

September 1, 1977 – August 9, 2018

Len was born on April 2, 1941 in Vancouver, BC, the fourth of five sons to James and Sarah Kelly. He joined the Navy at the age of 17, spending most of his years of service based out of Victoria. Len moved his family to Kamloops, BC in 1979, where he and his wife Rita raised their daughters and lived for the next 33 years. Len and Rita returned to Victoria in 2012.

Golf was a big part of Len’s life, and he spent many happy hours on a multitude of courses, most notably Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Cedar Hill Golf Course. Bowling, fishing, playing darts, singing, card games, history and trivia were among Len’s other interests and hobbies. He also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the numerous people in his varied social networks.

Today’s the anniversary of the day that we lost you. One year ago today you left us to be in the presence of God, August 9, 2018. And for a time it felt as though our lives had ended too.

Sad are the hearts that love you, silence are the tears that fall. Your memory, the person you were, and the person you would have become will remain in our hearts where we hold you so close.

Matthew, you are gone but not forgotten. There is nothing more painful than to live without you here. This was the hardest year of our lives. You were so dearly loved, and truly one of a kind.

Until we meet again.

Len is survived by his wife of 45 years Rita (née Scherr), daughters Christine (Blair) Surridge, Cathleen Kelly and Angela (Jeff) Bone, grandchildren Gavin, Owen, Elena, Greta, James, Erica, Asher, Russell and Marin. Len’s large extended family and treasured friends will also miss his presence.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the staff and volunteers at Victoria Hospice. The care and compassion Len, family and friends were shown in the final months of his life were second to none.

A Celebration of Life will be held at noon on Monday, August 19, 2019 at Sacred Heart Parish Hall, 4040 Nelthorpe St., Victoria, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to Victoria Hospice are appreciated.

Please light a candle on Len’s tribute page at www.earthsoption.com

Sadly missed your mother Evelyn, siblings Mark, Michael, Shawn, Laura, family and friends.

Dignity, Respect and Humanity. Supporting the community. That’s the Schoening way.

Dr. Johannes V. Asfeldt M.D. , F.A.C.O.G. , F.R.S.C. (C) February 15, 1930 - April 30, 2019

July 18, 2019 was the date chosen for the Memorial Service for Johs.

His memorial was held in Camrose, AB at the Camrose United Church and his ashes interned in the Valley View Cemetery in Camrose. Johs had carefully chosen this place ten years before.

Johannes Vagn Asfeldt was born in Hodsager, Denmark on February 15, 1930, the 2nd of five children. He was predeceased by the oldest and a little sister as an infant. Thus Johs became “the oldest child.” Life was difficult in Denmark in those days but education was very encouraged and Johs, a shy boy, loved to read. He went on to graduate high school and after the required time in the Military Services he entered Medical School in Copenhagen.

Upon graduation and marriage he furthered his education studying Obstetrics & Gynecology in Kansas City, U.S. The hope was to go to Missionary Life in Africa, but now, with three little sons the family moved to the Grenfeld Mission in St. Anthony, NFLD, a daughter joined the family there and they eventually moved to Whitehorse, YT where there was a need for Johs’s skills and a family life of “outdoor experiences.” Another dream, his pilot’s licence and the purchase of his Piper Archer “C-GWEU. A move to FT. McMurray, AB and then Dawson Creek, BC where he was able to work and start the first of 8 missions to Africa. Johs and Janeen moved to Camrose, AB for 10 years and in the summer of 2000 to Kamloops,

BC and were grateful for the support of the Kamloops United Church. To the end of his life Johs was kept in touch by Dr. Paul Thistle of the Karanda Mission Hospital in Zimbabwe. Johs was also a lifelong Rotarian and a Paul Harris Fellow. The diagnosis of Parkinson’s and dementia took it’s toll and Johs spent the end of his life in Kamloops Seniors Village.

It is with so much gratitude and appreciation that we extend our deepest gratitude to so many for his excellent care. To Tara Hildebrand and the Alzheimer’s Society, Janice Rodgers and staff at the Ponderosa “Day Program”, to Dr. V. DeKock, Dr.Jennifer Takahashi, Dr. B. Prystawa and finally the unbelievably caring staff at Kamloops Seniors Village and the wonderful care of Dr. Andrew Wynne. The care of Dr. Wynne and KSV lives on with peace in Janeen.

Johs leaves to remember him his children Henrik (Kathy), Morten (Krystal), Thomas (Karen) Susanne Penney (Gerry), step-children Steve Sykes, Diane Taylor, Jana Wetherill (Regan), nineteen grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. His siblings in Denmark, Viviain (Birthe), Holger and Ruth. His wife Janeen in Kamloops.

In memory to Dr. Johannes Asfeldt donations would be gratefully accepted to Dr. Paul Thistle, Karanda Mission Hospital, Zimbabwa c/o Team of Canada, #372-16 Midlake Blvd S.E. Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2X 2X7.

Neil enjoyed a very active retirement with his love Linda. They loved to travel, whether it be on the boat fishing, golf trips, taking the trailer south, cruises, adventures to Europe, Asia and Belize, or a game of slow pitch.

Neil especially enjoyed evenings with family and friends around the campfire.

A. Lots of stories. Here’s one from around here: Alice loved her dog. Just before she died Alice got a life insurance policy payable to her husband, Murray. He’d get the money on the condition that a) Murray didn’t murder the dog; b) he didn’t overfeed (and thus kill) the dog; c) the dog is autopsied upon its death.

That’s conditional love!

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

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

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

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

Kirsti Mount 1957 - 2019

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Kirsti Mount of Kamloops, BC, on August 5, 2019 at 62 years of age.

Kirsti is survived by her loving husband Daryl Mount, her children Russell (Crystal Bunting) Mount of Kamloops, and Curtis (Ryleen Dobell) Mount of Kamloops, as well as her mother Elina Kataja of Peachland, brothers Esa (Tarja) Loyva of Coquitlam, BC and Leo (Myrna) Loyva of Kelowna, BC and brother-in-law Terry (Janice) Mount of Kamloops. Kirsti is also survived by many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins throughout Canada and Finland. She is predeceased by her father Tauno Loyva and step-father Paavo Kataja.

Kirsti was born in Alavus, Finland, moving to Canada at a very young age. She spent her primary years in Sudbury, and her adolescent days in Coquitlam, graduating from Centennial High. Coquitlam is where Kirsti met Daryl, who she married in 1977. They moved to Kamloops in 1981 and had the joy of raising the two boys there. Many summers were spent boating on Vancouver Island where she enjoyed watching the wildlife (especially the whales) and the beautiful West Coast scenery. Among her favourite vacations were the numerous sun and sand vacations with family and friends; especially the all inclusive resorts in Cuba, Mexico and Dominican Republic.

Celebration of Life

Douglas Eugene Chambers 1946 - 2019

He leaves behind his father Joseph, mother Mary, sister Christine (Greg), brother Stephen, nieces Lisa Maria (Tristen), Ashleigh (Steve), step-children Cory, Kevin, Nick and mother Karmen, cousin Anita and so many friends and loved ones.

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without.

Love you always, and miss you so much.

Forever in our hearts.

Love you Kid!

Robert had a huge passion for life. He loved his family and friends so much. He enjoyed many types of sports. Robert’s knowledge of sports was unbelievable.

There was nothing he would not do for anybody; if you needed Robert he would be there for you. He was also known growing up as Peanuts. Robert was one of the most caring human beings on the planet. His love for his family was unsurpassed, one of his greatest jobs in life were his three boys Kevin, Nick and Cory. He was the best father, son, brother, uncle and friend anyone could ever imagine. He is in a better place now his memories will live on forever.

Rest In Peace we’ll always remember you and love you -- anyone that had the privilege of knowing you.

Robert had a family of friends that was unlimited. He was so thankful to the many friends he had in Penticton, Kamloops, Vancouver and many other places. His love and care for his co-workers in Kamloops and Vancouver was something he was proud of.

The family would also like to give a special thanks to his amazing doctor, Dr. Broadbent and staff who gave Robert the best care possible. Also, thanks to the very special staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House that made his last days as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

There will be a celebration of life for Robert Brettl sometime in mid-September in Penticton; date, time and location will be posted.

Like falling leaves 10 years slipped by Yet loving memories never die Too far away for sight or speech But not too far for thoughts to reach No longer in our lives to share But in our hearts you’re always there.

Please join us in Celebrating the exciting adventurous Life of Doug Chambers on Saturday, August 31, 2019 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at our home at 405 McGowan Ave, Kamloops, BC.

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea.

Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared.

Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared.

A casual backyard gathering is planned.

Please bring your stories and memories to share with all.

Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me.

THE LITTLE UNICORN

by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico

It is with a heavy heart to announce the sudden passing of our beloved son Laine Waddell.

Laine leaves behind his parents, Don and Angela, sister Kaylie. Many Aunts, Uncles, cousins. Many friends that love him. Laine was preceded by his grandparents Mildred and Woody Waddell, Evelyn Martini.

Celebration of life will be held on August 24, 2019 at 1:00 pm at the 150 Fire Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to (PDSA) Platelet Disorder Support Assocation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

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

The lonely, bitter tears.

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

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

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

There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

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

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