Evacuees waiting in Kamloops to find out if and when they will be able to go home now have the option of getting a head start on the paperwork that comes after a natural disaster. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has opened a one-stop shop — they call it a resiliency centre — for evacuees to begin the process of filing insurance claims

and dealing with government. “This is very good,” said Steve Jansen, a Cache Creek evacuee who was among the first to make use of the centre’s services on Thursday. “You come here, you can get a claim started. . . . They give me advice for when I do go home. It’s better to get a jumpstart on it.” The TNRD resiliency centre is located in the former restaurant building on McArthur Island, near the golf course. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and

Service Canada is also on site. Jansen said getting something done beats “twiddling your thumbs” in the downtime that comes with being an evacuee. “We’re displaced,” he said. “We’re staying in a trailer. It’s good to be prepared. You might as well get stuff done.” Dale Kronebusch, the manager of the resiliency centre, said the goal is to help evacuees with questions and problems. “It’s a spot for the evacuees to come here and get some answers and solutions,” he said.

Wildfires are not tourist attractions The explosion of wildfires has created a problem of lookie-loos. The BC Wildfire Service is urging members of the public to stay away from active wildfires, inlcuding the blazes near Little Fort and Cache Creek. Chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said firefighters, aircraft crews and contracted firefighters need plenty of room to battle the blazes. In addition, the public is reminded that Transport Canada and the BC Wildfire Service pro-

hibit the use of drones of any size near a wildfire. Skrepnek said all wildfires are automatically considered to be “flight restricted,” according to Canadian Aviation Regulations. The restricted area is within a radius of five nautical miles around the fire and to an altitude of about 900 metres (3,000 feet) above ground level. • A public-access restriction for the areas around the Thuya Creek and Dunn Lake wildfires is now in effect.

The wildfires west and north of Dunn Lake are highly visible from Highway 5, near Little Fort. The area restriction order means that no one, apart from authorized personnel, may enter these areas at any time. • Lightship, a Kamloops software company, has created a publicly accessible alternative to the B.C. government wildfire map that uses the same datasets the BC Wildfire Service uses. The map also includes municipal boundaries and esti-

mated areas for some fires of note. The map can be found online at https://emergency-maps. lightship.works/#/map/iViERbViQuqP5jandElZXg/details. • For a a list of companies and organizations lending a hand to those impacted by wildfires, go online to KTW’s website, where a list is being updated daily.

Weekend weather pivotal in wildfire battle in B.C. ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Saturday could represent a crossroads in the early part of the 2017 wildfire season. Though crews have made significant progress on the 188 fires burning across the province, a cold front is expected to roll through the Southern Interior this weekend, bringing weather that could turn the situation on its head. “We are definitely concerned with the forecast for the weekend,” said Kevin Skrepnek, chief fire information officer for the Provincial Wildfire Co-ordination Centre. “There’s a widespread cold front passage for most of southern B.C. expected to start Saturday afternoon. We are looking at some strong and sustained winds that are going to come with that system. Given how crucial wind is to fire activity, that’s definitely a concern for us right now. The system will bring with it a smattering of rain, Skrepnek said, but it will be negligible to firefighting efforts. The B.C. Wildfire Service has made headway in battling a number of fires across the province. Skrepnek said Thursday that wildfire activity has been trending downwards since last weekend and only 16 new fires started on Wednesday. To date, the province has seen 617 fires, which have combined to burn 111,000 hectares. There are 14 interface fires — those of danger to structures — across B.C. and 22 fires of note. Firefighting costs for 2017 have already surpassed $66 million. The Ashcroft Reserve fire remains one of the largest in the province, mapped at 11,800 hectares. It remains uncontained. The wildfire service advised

residents Wednesday night it would be conducting controlled burnoff operations in the area of the blaze, activity that is expected to continue for the next few days. “The objectives are to slow the growth and spread of fire and to establish a clear and safe perimeter where ground crews can work,” the service said. The controlled burns will increase the amount of smoke in the area. Emergency Management B.C. could not provide a timetable for when evacuees from Cache Creek would be allowed to return to their homes. The Little Fort fire complex an hour north of Kamloops is being estimated at 1,840 hectares, though “incredible levels” of smoke have made it difficult to get an accurate measurement of the fire said Claire Allen, the lead fire information officer for the blaze. The complex is being fought by 128 firefighters, nine helicopters, eight pieces of heavy equipment, two water tenders and six structural protection personnel. “It is still growing, but at a fairly slow, constant rate,” Allen said, noting higher winds Wednesday prompted growth on the north and south flanks of the Dunn Lake portion of the fire. “At this time, still no immediate threats to structures.” A public-access restriction is in place for both the Dunn Lake and Thuya Lake portions of the complex. The Princeton wildfire, meanwhile, is estimated at 3,000 hectares and was 10 per cent contained as of Thursday. It is being fought by 155 firefighters, an incident management team, nine helicopters, 19 pieces of heavy equipment, seven water

tenders and 28 industry personnel. “The fire has grown in size, but this is due to crews conducting back-burning operations, as well as some natural growth,” said Marg Drysdale, the lead fire information officer in Princeton. Crews were doing burnoff and mop up on the southwest corner of the fire Thursday, as well as building machine guards — containment and control lines built with machinery — where appropriate. In the Cariboo region, the Gustafsen wildfire near 100 Mile House remains 5,000 hectares in size and is now 15 per cent contained. The Wildwood fire north of Williams Lake is 2,500 hectares and 40 per cent contained, while the Hanceville wildfire complex remains at 10,000 hectares and out of control. On Thursday, 230 recreational sites and trails were closed in the Cariboo region due to fire risk. A total of 3,100 personnel are battling blazes in the province and are supported by 178 aircrafts. There are 16,250 people who have evacuated their homes 100 Mile House residents aren’t expected to be allowed to return to the town for at least another week. Between 30 and 50 per cent of Williams Lake is believed to have self-evacuated, despite only being under evacuation alert. In an update to reporters on Thursday, the RCMP confirmed two prolific offenders had been arrested in the Williams Lake area after being found in possession of a TV believed to have been stolen from an evacuated residence. Two subsequent search warrants found what is believed to be more property stolen from the homes of evacuees.

VANCOUVER — British Columbia has been so successful at putting out wildfires in recent decades that it has actually created a situation where its forests are more prone to flames, according to an expert in forestry. Lori Daniels, an associate professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia, said firefighting efforts over the last 60 to 100 years have allowed for denser forests with a lot of dead material on the ground. Now, when the province has hot, dry weather and lightning strikes or there is a human ignition, fires are much more severe and fast-moving, she said. “The irony is we tried to protect our forests from fire and we created a situation where they’re much more susceptible and the fires are more damaging,’’ she said. Daniels said good intentions really backfired and called it the “fire suppression paradox.” “By trying to protect our forests and communities, we have made many dry forests in B.C. more susceptible to severe fires,” she said. The province declared a state of emergency last week after about 140 new fires broke out. Crews are now battling more than 200 blazes. Daniels said in the past, the fire season began around the third week of July, with the majority of

fires starting in August. But during the past decade, B.C. has seen several years where hot and dry weather has begun earlier in July, she said. The last time the province declared a state of emergency over wildfires was in 2003, but even then fire-danger ratings only started to hit very high or extreme levels in August, she said. As of this week, the entire southern two-thirds of B.C., including coastal areas, have very high or extreme ratings. It’s hard to tell with certainty whether climate change is the culprit, but the current patterns are consistent with climate-change predictions for fire activity made 20 years ago, Daniels said. “We are on the path that was projected related to climate change,’’ she said. “And as we look to the future, the kinds of fire weather conditions we have now that we consider extreme, when we project forward based on climate change predictions, they become more like our average conditions. This is very disconcerting and it is a serious concern for us.’’ Kevin Skrepnek of the B.C. Wildfire Service said the current scale and intensity of the fires is unusual for the first week of July and officials are planning ahead. “We have to not just be looking at the short-term period, but also for the months ahead of us, too, if this tempo is to continue,’’ he said. The service brought in more than 300 personnel from out of

province, a decision Skrepnek said was made not only to bolster capacity, but also to manage fatigue among B.C. crews. “That’s why we’re not only bringing in fire crews, but also support staff, co-ordination officers, things like that, just to make sure that we’re pacing ourselves for what potentially could be a pretty protracted season,” he said. The province has already spent $66.6 million on fighting fires, which is more than the $63-million annual budget. Skrepnek said the service now has immediate access to contingency funds. Daniels said the mountain pine beetle also made B.C. forests more susceptible to fires, resulting in many dead trees that dried out and fell to the ground, creating more fuel for flames. B.C. should actively manage the dense dead material on the forest floor, she said. She also advised homeowners to check their roofs to see if there are needles or branches that would burn if an ember landed on their homes. As well, they shouldn’t have piles of dead vegetation in their yard or firewood stacked against their house, she added. Anyone who lives in a fireprone community should be acting now to make sure they are prepared for a worst-case scenario, Daniels said. “Waiting until we see smoke or waiting until we’re being told we might have to evacuate is too late.’’

City council vote on Ajax set for Monday

GET COOL THIS SUMMER! STAY LOCAL!

You don’t have to leave Kamloops for these procedures!

KAMLOOPS HAS NO SAY ON MINE, BUT ITS OPINION WILL BE CONSIDERED IN DECISION ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For years, the plan for Monday’s special council meeting on the proposed Ajax mine has remained relatively the same: councillors would decide whether to support or oppose the copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, then approve conditions it would require if the project goes ahead. However, with the majority of the city’s remaining councillors already on record opposing the project, Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh said some questions are bubbling about whether laying out rules for the mine weakens the city’s stance. “There are some people in the community saying if you do that, are you saying it’d be okay under certain circumstances, whereas a clear no without any sort of conditions is better,” he said. “But I’m of a view we have to do both.” Four of the six councillors at city hall are opposed to Ajax: Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Tina Lange and Denis Walsh. Singh and Coun. Pat Wallace have not made public their stance. While the city has no say in whether the mine is ultimately approved by the provincial and federal governments, its opinion will be considered when senior governments make their decision on the project south of Aberdeen. Coun. Denis Walsh, a vocal mine opponent, said he feels the city should simply officially oppose the project, arguing conditions just muddy the waters. “We can come up with all the conditions in the world, but if the environmental-assessment office says that can’t happen and that can’t happen, it could get watered down,” he said. Walsh is also concerned about what message the city will send to

the province and federal governments — who will make the final decision on the mine, with project approval requiring nods from Victoria and Ottawa — if it opts to sign an agreement with the mine around mitigation and compensation. Negotiations for that agreement have not been public. Wallace, who is representing the city alongside Dudy, would not comment on whether an agreement may be ready by Monday. Both Walsh and Singh said they are anticipating discussions of the agreement on Monday, though Singh said he was aware there are some remaining points to be addressed between the city and Ajax parent company KGHM. Councillors are due to attend a closed-door meeting Monday, as well as their public debate on Ajax at 10:30 a.m. Singh said he understands concerns, but believes the city has a responsibility to plan and negotiate for possibilities it doesn’t want. “I think you want what council decides to be respected and heard really deeply by people making decisions at other levels of government, but by the same token it’s not our decision making purview,” he said. “We don’t have control over it in the end and we have to think about how to also protect the community’s interest.” Conditions drafted by an independent consultant for Kamloops include an independent mine monitor, a working group including the city and provincial environmental staff which would be active throughout the life of the mine, including decommissioning. In September of last year, thenmines minister Bill Bennett told KTW he was told by the city an agreement with KGHM Ajax could see the city receive up to $4 million a year from the company of the mine is approved.

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

HOT: The outpouring of support for the thousands of British Columbians whose lives remain in turmoil due to the various wildfires burning in the province. A crisis can bring out the best in people and the work being done by paid staff and volunteers in Kamloops, Prince George and elsewhere exposes what can happen when selflessness takes control. If you can help, or if you need help, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the prominent BC Fire Watch icon. There, you will find a list of resources available. NOT: In contrast, others seeking to take advantage of people during the wildfire crisis. We have already mentioned in this space the alleged looters arrested this past week in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake. We have also heard of some unscrupulous folks trying to rip off evacuees in desperate search of lodging, be it via a full-on scam or by charging for what many others are offering for free from the good of their hearts. These parasites should heed the mantra — there, but for the grace of God, go I.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Kamloops’ own Mark Recchi, whose remarkable hockey career continues to reach heights of which most can only dream. Fresh off a long overdue induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, the co-owner of the Kamloops Blazers and multiple Stanley Cup champion was this week named assistant coach of the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Congratulations, Mark.

No overtime for Williams

T

here are few things more exciting for a sports journalist than getting to report on a local team’s championship run. At least, that’s what I have heard. I can’t help but add that caveat because in my five years of covering sports in Kamloops, first for the TRU Omega, then for the Kamloops Daily News and, finally, for Kamloops This Week, the city’s major sports franchises have won, well, basically nothing. Kamloops won things before I moved to the River City in 2012 — in fact, from what I hear, it once had a fairly successful major junior franchise. Sadly, winning has been woefully absent since the first day my byline appeared in the pages of Kamloops newspapers. Over the years, I haven’t been able to kick the idea that maybe it’s me. In sum, I sat in the press box as Jim Cotter lost to Alberta’s Kevin Koe in the gold-medal game of the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier and the Canadian women’s national team lost to the United States in the gold-medal final of the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championship. I twice travelled with the Kamloops Storm in KIJHL championship series and both times the junior B club lost, four games to two. My five years in Kamloops included the lowest of lows for the Kamloops Blazers and the Thompson Rivers WolfPack didn’t have a whole lot of playoff success. The men’s basketball team made it to the 2015-2016 CIS Men’s Basketball National Championship, but even that year I had to sit through a 91-84 loss

ADAM WILLIAMS

Fooled ‘Em

AGAIN

in the gold-medal game of the Canada West Final Four. The Thompson Blazers went 0-for-Adam from 2012 to 2017, a stretch that included a record of 29-150-19, and the WolfPack women’s volleyball team at one point strung together 47 straight losses. I don’t think I’ll be hearing Brooks and Dunn’s You’re Going To Miss Me When I’m Gone softly playing in the background as I drive off into the hazy summer sunset after my final shift at the paper on Friday. I fully expect to leave Kamloops this summer and see the Blazers go on a Memorial Cup run, the Storm finally get over the hump in the KIJHL final and the WolfPack men’s soccer team win a national championship at home this fall. In my new home of Calgary, I expect the Flames will go in the tank, the Stampeders will fall from their post as the CFL’s most dominant team and the Calgary Dinos will become the UNBC Timberwolves. I feel like the talisman of ill sports fortune. The year I moved to Edmonton, 2005, was the last season the Oilers made the playoffs before embarking on an 11-year playoff drought.

I’m sure it has been tough on the athletes, but what about me? That’s a lot of heartbreak for one guy to handle. I’m supposed to remain impartial as a reporter, but at times I’ve found myself pleading with Kamloops’ teams to win. “Let me interview someone who is happy for once! I can’t handle more tears!” Covering losing is impossible. Try asking intelligent questions of a losing team — it’s the Mount Everest of sports writing. Me: “What went wrong out there?” Them: “Well, the other team scored more points than we did.” Me: “How are you feeling right now?” Them: “We lost. How do you think I’m feeling?” Me: “Probably the same way I’ll feel trying to write a story about this later.” In all seriousness, my time at KTW has been a blast. Covering sports in this town was a dream come true and I owe too many people to thank all of them here. I will be forever grateful to the likes of Bob Davoren, Joseph Blais, Fred Marsh and the countless others who let me into their lives and told me their stories. It has been fun, Kamloops. And, hey, there has been one success in my tenure in Kamloops, albeit not sports-related: KTW is still in operation, three years after they hired me in 2014. The Kamloops Daily News only made it a year after I darkened its door. Adam Williams is off to South America for the summer before attending law school in Calgary, where he will add to his impressive list of degrees and even more impressive mounting debt.

YOUR OPINION

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

NOT ALL OF TK’EMLUPS OPPOSES AJAX MINE Editor: I am in favour of the proposed Ajax mine to which Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn chiefs are opposed. I am 100 per cent in favour of such a project going forward and for more opportunities for work. Being a member of the Tk’emlups Indian Band, I was never asked my opinion, let alone even notified of such land.

The one thing I don’t like is that when every such issue comes front and centre, there always is “sacred this and sacred that.” It’s hogwash. I bet the almighty dollar figure just wasn’t high enough yet. On another note, I know I’m in need of a job, let alone a career. There’s a high need for this proposed mine and I would have appreciated this information being shared with me, rather than having to read about

it in Kamloops This Week. My grandparents, Tommy and Sadie Casimir, and my mother, Aimee Nevey, are grassroots. My mother was the leader of the dance troupe in the Kamloops Indian Residential School. I would love to be working, maybe even at Ajax mine. All my relations from my heart to yours. Leo Nevey, Kamloops

SEARS CANADA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF Editor: In the 1990s, the Sears ad campaign was “the softer side of Sears.” Apparently, that slogan no longer exists. With news the corporation is closing its Kamloops store, among others, I made contact with Sears Canada regarding points I have on my Sears card. I purchased household furniture and appli-

ances last year and received a substantial number of points. To redeem these points, I was told by the company agent, I need to go directly into the store.

Last week I did just that — I went into the store to purchase several items. When I gave the clerk the card Sears had given me to redeem these points, she

instantly got on the phone. Lo and behold, Sears will not accept the points as payment now that the company is under bankruptcy protection. How convenient. The company doesn’t care due to the pending closure of 59 stores. Sears Canada should be ashamed of itself. L. Ward Kamloops

DAILY NEWS BUILDING COULD BE NEW CITY HALL Editor: It seems to me the former Kamloops Daily News building would be

best suited for a new city hall. We could sell off all he smaller buildings scat-

tered around the city and provide a better facility, while reducing expenses to maintain so many loca-

tions for city operations. This idea was floated by a friend and, I believe, makes sense for the space

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: PLENTY OF HELP FOR WILDFIRE VICTIMS:

“I moved from Langley to Kamloops 14 years ago and am still amazed at the how generous and helpful the people of Kamloops are when others are in need. Makes me proud to live here.” — posted by Doug Campbell

RE: LETTER: CLOSING CITY PARKS IS NOT ENOUGH:

“Have you asked the City about this? I’m not entirely sure that they have the power to mandate the stopping of work on private property. “Seems like they are doing what’s in their power at this point, i.e. restricting use in cityowned land. “Your other approach could be to touch base directly with the developer — put the onus on them as a responsible corporate citizen. “Seems too easy to blame the city when you could be following up with others.” — posted by Alfred Tango

IMPENDING PROVINCIAL PARTNERSHIP A CIRCUS Editor: Every circus has its clowns. In B.C., we have the Green Leader Andrew Weaver, who said the Kinder Morgan’s Trans

Mountain pipeline expansion project is a myth and will not create employment. Perhaps Weaver could use his grandpa’s horse and buggy for transportation — but

the horse will create pollution. Then again, Weaver could go to work on his bicycle. And we have NDP Leader John Horgan, who wants to put a stop to BC

Hydro’s Site C dam project. I guess he could do his reading by candlelight. The show must go on. Lo Sarra, Kamloops

Highland Valley strike vote set for Sunday Unionized workers at the Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake have been without a contract since September 2016.

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Workers at Highland Valley Copper will take a strike vote this weekend as talks threaten to drag on for nearly a year. The strike vote is set for Sunday at Logan Lake’s curling rink. “We’ve hit a wall,” said Kyle Wolff, president of United Steelworkers Local 7619. The two sides began bargaining in August of 2016. “We’ve resolved a lot of minor issues,” he said. “Major concessions remain on the table.” Wolff said those

include mine owner Teck Resources wanting flexibility to use contractors and non-union staff at the facility about 45 minutes southwest of Kamloops. While the bargaining committee is seeking a strike vote from the unionized members, Wolff said it does not mean a work stoppage is around the corner.

“We don’t know the next step,” he said. The two sides last met for bargaining in January. The more than 1,000 unionized workers have been without a contract since September last year. Mediatior Vince Ready has been called in, but the impasse remains. Reserves at Highland

SIZE MATTERS

Valley are projected to support mining at current planned production rates until 2026. Teck forecasts copper production at Highland Valley Copper is expected to decline from between 35 and 40 per cent after higher grade ore is exhausted in the Valley pit. Production is now moving into the lower grade historical Lornex pit. Profit at the mine peaked in 2006, when it totalled more than $1 billion.

They were found in a vehicle alongside items believed to have been stolen during two residential break-ins earlier this week. Shelkie said tips from the public about a suspicious vehicle in the Dunbar Drive area on Thursday led to the arrests. “Two things greatly assisted in the arrest of these individuals,” she said. “First, citizens in the area of the break-and-enters noticed a suspicious vehicle and were able to give a good description of it. Second, the victims supplied a detailed list and description of the items that were stolen from their homes.” Shelkie said when officers came upon the vehicle, they could immediately tell the items inside matched the description of the stolen items.

Skeetchestn gets ball rolling on development site on highway CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Skeetchestn Indian Band has completed designation of lands along Trans-Canada Highway for economic use. Band chief Ron Ignace said the complex designation process through the federal government is an economic opportunity for the band. It

4TH ANNUAL

allows 2,500 acres of reserve frontage lands beside the highway, in the area of the Big Sky gas station, to be developed for a number of uses. The property is located about half way between Kamloops and Cache Creek. Ignace said two key advantages to the designation are its 99-year leases don’t begin ticking down until deals are

signed and property can be developed for anything from agriculture to commercial or industrial use, allowing a flexibility that doesn’t exist at Sun Rivers in Kamloops, for example. That gives the band years to patiently roll out development. “We’re in the early days of our plans and development,” Ignace said.

The first likely tenant is an organic cattle corn operation that will take up about 300 acres. It will feed dairy cattle at an organic operation. “It’s a good start,” he said. “We’re looking for a mix — that’s where the strength is.” In addition to the service station the band also operates a gravel pit from the site.

Astronaut named next Governor General JORDAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA— Former astronaut Julie Payette will be Canada’s next Governor General, becoming the fourth female to be the monarch’s representative in Canada when she is sworn in later this year. Payette’s appointment was formally announced Thursday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the 53-year-old from Montreal was emotional as she reflected on what’s ahead. “This is a very great honour for me and for my family, for my friends and my colleagues here around the country, on the planet and even a few outside the planet,’’ she said from the Senate foyer minutes after her appointment was announced. She will be taking over from Gov. Gen. David Johnston, whose term expires in September. “Ms. Payette’s life has been one dedicated to discovery, to dreaming big and to always staying focused on the things that matter most,’’ Trudeau said.

“These truly Canadian traits, along with her years of public service, make her unquestionably qualified for this high office.’’ Payette was the first Canadian female to board the International Space Station in 1999. She went on a second space flight in 2009. She is fluently bilingual, and she also learned Russian after being named an astronaut. She has corporate and board experience through her time at the Canadian Space Agency and as a vice-president at the Canada Lands Co., which oversees the sales of unneeded federal properties. And she has military experience: Payette qualified as a military jet captain in 1996 after logging hundreds of hours of flight time on the CT-114 Tutor jets, the same ones flown by the Snowbird team. The Governor General is the military’s commander-in-chief, but acts on the advice of the government. Payette’s selection caps a remarkable story.

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT JULIE PAYETTE 1. Payette — the second Canadian woman to fly into space after Roberta Bondar — was aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1999 and Endeavour in 2009. She was the first Canadian astronaut to board the International Space Station. 2. Born Oct. 20, 1963, in Montreal, Payette is fluent in French and English and can converse in Spanish, Italian, Russian and German. 3. Payette enjoys running, skiing, racquet sports and scuba diving and is a member of the board of Canada’s “Own The Podium’’ Olympic program.

CANADIAN PRESS PHOTO

Julie Payette will become Canada’s 29th Governor General, replacing David Johnston as the Queen’s representative in Canada this fall.

As a girl growing up in Montreal, she dreamed of going into space but never thought it was possible because she was female, Canadian and didn’t speak a word of English. Instead, her family encouraged her interests and on her first space flight she helped assemble the International Space Station, which fellow Canadian Chris

Hadfield would later command. She will be installed as Governor General during a ceremony this fall. But first, she will go through weeks of briefings and preparations to take over from Johnston, as well as have a meeting with the Queen. “The task will be hard because it requires to follow in the footsteps of giants,’’

Power outage notice: planned maintenance

Payette said of the man she is replacing. Johnston is expected to have an audience with the Queen next week when he travels to the U.K. for Canada 150 events, likely marking the last time he will sit face-to-face with the monarch he represents. “I am certain that she will fulfil this role with intelligence, grace and energy, and that she will bring qualities of curiosity, courage and compassion to her mandate,’’ he said in a statement from Beijing, where he is on an official visit.

4. Payette carried the Olympic flag in the Opening Ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and was named an Officer of the Order of Canada that same year. 5. Payette plays the piano and has sung with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Piacere Vocale in Basel, Switzerland, and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Toronto. —The Canadian Space Agency Johnston agreed to extend his tenure at Rideau Hall by two years ending this fall so that an experienced viceregal could navigate any parliamentary and constitutional dilemmas that could have arisen had the 2015 federal election ended with a minority government. During his tenure as Governor General, Johnston focused on

education, philanthropy and innovation, and also making awards like the Order of Canada more accessible to Canadians. Payette is still thinking about how she’ll handle the role. “You can imagine though that it might be related, some of it, to science, technology and moving forward in a society of knowledge,’’ she said.

Jimmy Carter treated for dehydration in Winnipeg THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Former United States president Jimmy Carter was taken to hospital Thursday after he became dehydrated while volunteering with a home-building charity in Manitoba. A spokesman for Habitat for Humanity in Winnipeg said Carter, 92, received medical attention as a precaution, but was fine. “He has been taken off-site for observation. He encourages everyone to stay hydrated and to keep building,’’ Jonathan Reckford said Thursday. Carter was in Edmonton earlier this week helping the charity with a project there. He has long been active with the non-profit group, which builds affordable housing for low-income earners. Manitoba Families Minister Scott Fielding was with Carter at the work site when the former president said he needed to take a break. “He sat down on a chair that was close to him. His secret security . . . hydrated him by giving him some

water and some Gatorade,’’ Fielding said. “He did need some assistance going back to the other trailer after.’’ A joint statement from the Carter Center in the United States and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority said Carter was taken to St. Boniface General Hospital for rehydration and his wife, Rosalynn, was with him. Carter served as U.S. president from 1977 to 1981. He was diagnosed with melanoma in 2015 and was treated with an immunotherapy drug. He said months later medical scans no longer showed any cancer In an interview with The Canadian Press earlier this week, Carter said that Canadian governments should consider emulating the non-profit group he has promoted for years as a way to alleviate an affordable housing crunch in this country. He pointed out that other countries such as Peru have adopted similar models to help build more affordable housing units and reduce reliance on the social safety net.

OTTAWA — U.S. President Donald Trump is promising to tax steel imports again less than a week

Trump said there are two ways to address what he calls unacceptable dumping of foreign steel into the U.S. market — quotas and tariffs. “Maybe I’ll do both,’’ he said according to

a transcript of the conversation released by the White House Thursday. “Steel is a big problem. Steel is, I mean, they’re dumping steel. Not only China, but others. We’re like a

new import duties on steel on the basis of national security. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was to have made the decision in June but as of Thursday, nothing had been finalized. He was briefing congressional representatives on the issue in Washington Thursday. Steel is also set to be on the agenda Friday when Trudeau has a bilateral meeting with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during the annual meeting of the National Governor’s Association in Rhode Island. Softwood lumber and NAFTA are also set to be discussed. Negotiations on the trade deal will begin mid-August, while Canada and the U.S. are currently negotiating on new trade deal on softwood lumber. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland will also be at the meeting. Her spokesman said Thursday Canada’s feelings on steel remain the same as they were following the G20. “Our North American steel and aluminum industries support good middle class jobs, are highly integrated, and our trade is

highly balanced,’’ said Adam Austen. “As key allies and partners in Norad and NATO, Canada and the U.S. are integral to each other’s national security and Canada is a safe and secure supplier of steel and aluminum to the U.S.’’ Amanda DeBusk, chair of the international trade department at the D.C. law firm Hughes Hubbard and Reed, said while the Trump administration’s international trade policies may be less predictable than his predecessors, there is reason for Canada to be optimistic. “If you look at the history of trade relations in the past the U.S. has given Canada and Mexico a pass on the types of trade restrictions that are being talked about in regards to steel,’’ she said. The U.S. steel industry fight with China and other countries predates Trump. At the end of 2016, before Trump was inaugurated, the U.S. already had 113 different trade remedies in place on steel imports including 20 against China alone. None of them were against Canada.

dumping ground, okay? They’re dumping steel and destroying our steel industry, they’ve been doing it for decades, and I’m stopping it. It’ll stop.’’ The comments came immediately after Trump spoke about the trade deficit the U.S. has with South Korea, which is the thirdlargest source of steel imports to the U.S. But Canada is the biggest, accounting for 17 per cent of all steel imported into the United States last year. Steel was one of the subjects discussed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with Trump on the sidelines of the G20 leaders’ summit in Germany last weekend. Trudeau told reporters after he was “comfortable’’ Canada would not be affected by any national securityrelated import tariffs on steel. “The kind of back and forth complimentarity between Canada and the U.S. on steel is something we both value tremendously as countries and will ensure to protect,’’ Trudeau said July 8.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Trump Jr.’s meeting still not the smoking gun

L

ike the diligent journalist I am, I went online within minutes of news that Donald Trump Jr. had posted on Twitter “incriminating” emails about his meeting with Russian lawyer and lobbyist Natalia Veselnitskaya. I opened the Washington Post site and there, nestled between the paragraphs of their lead story on Trump Jr., was an ad for a box set of The Walking Dead. And I thought . . . Well, actually, I thought this stinks to high heaven, but it is still not the smoking gun. The dead will continue to walk around for a while yet. The emails prove that Junior (not a naive youth, but a 39-year-old businessman who has frequently done work in Russia) met the Russian lobbyist in Trump Tower together with sister Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, thencampaign manager for Donald Trump. They had been told Veselnitskaya was a “Russian government lawyer.” The emails also show Trump Jr. believed Veselnitskaya would “provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.” That’s what Rob Goldstone, the slippery British music publicist who acted as a gobetween, told him. Trump Jr. (and, presumably, Kushner and

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH Manafort, too) already knew Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime wanted Trump to win the presidency and was willing to help. “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information, but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” said Goldstone’s initial email, which did not elicit any expression of surprise from Junior and his friends. Finally, the emails show the U.S. president’s eldest son was enthusiastic about the idea he could get some dirt on Hillary Clinton from the Russians. “If it’s what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer,” he emailed back to Goldstone. But the emails do not show what actually happened at the meeting. For that, we only have Trump Jr.’s word, and as long as the other two men back him up, he can say whatever he likes about it. The meeting in Trump Tower took place in June 2016, when the servers of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) had already been hacked by the Russians (according to the unanimous conclusion of all the U.S.

intelligence agencies), but before any of the information gained had been used. However, later in the summer, by some strange coincidence, Junior’s hopes for a major Russian strike against Clinton were miraculously fulfilled. That happened just before the Democrats held their national convention in late July, when there was a large dump

of a run for his money. But seen from Moscow, sabotaging Clinton probably looked like a clever move at the time. So, there it all is — and it wouldn’t be enough to impeach Trump even if the Democrats controlled Congress. It isn’t the smoking gun because we will never know what was really said in that meeting. It is hard to believe

Russian links (and other embarrassing topics) will continue. Trump won’t be impeached, but he’s not having fun any more and, at some point, it will all get too much for him. He will simply resign (he’s in his 70s, so he can just plead ill health) and we will get President Mike Pence instead.

Trump himself didn’t know about the meeting when his three closest political advisers were all there, but his denial will stand unless one of those three men chooses to say otherwise. Yet he really is a “dead man walking.” It will be a very long walk — the slow death of a thousand little cuts — but the steady drip of minor and major revelations about his

Late mom’s trailer unscathed after firestorm ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom Richmond called it a miracle. As pictures began to emerge showing the devastation levied on the Boston Flats trailer park by the Ashcroft Reserve wildfire, Richmond caught a few frames of a grey shingled roof. It was his mother’s home. “The trailer was for sale,” Richmond told KTW. His mother recently passed away, exactly three months before the flames razed the trailer park north of Ashcroft. “We were in the process of cleaning it out, but were unable to empty anything of value or sentimental value until probate was complete,” he said. “Obviously, it was a stressful weekend, especially since our whole family history was inside there, and anything to have as a reminder of my parents. I got relief when I saw the trailer in a picture yesterday [Monday].” Richmond’s mother’s trailer is one of four still standing in Boston Flats, evidenced by drone footage released by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District on Tuesday afternoon. It sits at what was the far end of the trailer park, a for sale sign still standing in the front yard, the homes across the street from it reduced to rubble and the grass in the neighbouring park blackened by flames. Remarkably, aside from a little siding damage, the Richmond family trailer appears relatively unscathed. “I do feel terrible for the rest of the park,” Richmond said. “I knew a few of them as I was there each week for a couple days with my children. “It feels like a miracle that her place is still standing.”

The trailer belonging to Tom Richmond’s later mother somehow escaped the flames of the Ashcroft Reserve fire, which destroyed virtually all of the remaining dozens of modular homes in the Boston Flats Trailer Park between Ashcroft and Cache Creek.

FAITH

Wanted: faith of the right kind TRUE FAITH BEGINS IN STIMULATION OF CONSCIENCE

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. “But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.” — John 2:23-25 These words form part of the record of a set of circumstances analogous to some crusades or large gospel meetings — a great company gathering to hear the gospel messages and responding. But it is a singular fact that Christ has no faith in some men’s faith. It is a startling consideration that many believe in him, while he has no belief in them.

NARAYAN MITRA

You gotta have

FAITH

It is a strange and solemn truth in its implicate of warning to everyone that there is a faith to which he makes no response — a professed belief in the presence of which the Lord is strangely silent. These words come with a strong message of warning that many believed on him, “but Jesus would not entrust himself to them.” The above passage contains at least three cautionary signals:

• The discrimination which Jesus exercises. He draws people, and then divides them. He wins people to a hearing of his message, and then winnows them. Right through his life, this quality of discrimination characterized Christ. For instance: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matt.7:21). Again, when he stood before his questioners at his trial, “he answered them not a word.” He has unique and absolutely reliable power of discernment. There is no realm of our being in which this discriminating power of Jesus is so entirely important as in the realm of faith. Christ regards true faith as the beginning of new life.

My knowledge of any human being is entirely inadequate to enable me to form a judgment. But Christ knows the push of heredity. He knows the handicap which is imposed upon each individual as they begin life’s course. But still, knowing everything, he makes allowance for all as none other could do. • The disqualification which he finds in professed believers. “He would not entrust himself to them . . .” Why? Many believed on him when they saw the miraculous signs.” That is a kind of faith that Christ does not respond to — sign-supported faith, the mere satisfaction of curiosity. This type of faith is either disguised unbelief or naked emotion. This is faith to which Jesus makes

no response, the faith which is entirely based on a man’s subjective experience of God’s wonder-working power. What is Christ’s ideal of faith? True faith begins in stimulation of conscience which we call “conviction of sin.” It recognizes the utter impossibility of refuting the contrast between the standard of God and the state of life. It expresses itself in penitence, in sorrow for sin, and not only for its consequences. It means the utter and entire surrender to Christ who is revealed as meeting all the sincreated need of life, as the only one who can save the helpless sinners. • The distinction by which Christ ever seeks to seal and assure our relationships with him. This is of supreme

importance to the men and women to whom the Lord does commit himself. How can we be the kind of person to whom he commits himself, whom he would trust, whose faith he will recognized as being genuine, sincere, and wellfounded? Let’s take his words in the Bible again. Let us read through the record of Christ’s days on earth. We would find therein the kinds of people to whom he committed himself are these: men of unstable resolve, but fervent love; women of stained reputation, but of earnest devotion. We would find men of slow understanding, but dauntless courage; women of slender attainments, but of grateful loyalty to him. The poor, broken,

SIXTH STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP DUEL

VENOM, TIGERS TO SQUARE OFF IN THOMPSON OKANAGAN JUNIOR LACROSSE LEAGUE FINAL ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

R

iley Peterson wouldn’t have it any other way. For six straight seasons, the Kamloops Venom and the Vernon Tigers have met in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship series, a rivalry that has seen Peterson and the Venom win two consecutive junior B titles and three of the last five. It’s the perfect way to cap the season, Peterson said. “Every year I’ve played, I’ve played against Vernon in the final,” said the Venom captain, who is in his final season of junior eligibility. “Honestly, I don’t mind it at all. I like it. I like playing against them. I love it.” Game 1 of the series is on Monday, with the Venom playing host to the Tigers at Memorial Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Game 2 will be played in Vernon on Wednesday, with a potentially series-clinching Game 3 in Kamloops on Friday evening. Games 4 and 5, if necessary, will be played in Vernon on Sunday, July 23, and Kamloops on Tuesday, July 25. “I don’t want to make a prediction or anything like that, but it would be nice to end the series early,” Peterson said. “That’s about all I can say right now.” A few members of the Venom are “banged up,” the captain said, and with a berth in the 2017 British Columbia Junior B Lacrosse Championship already clinched — as the host, Vernon gets an automatic invite to the tournament, meaning Kamloops will attend as the TOJLL representative, regardless of how this week’s championship series ends — Kamloops could use the extra rest before play gets underway

Tylor Seabrooke of the Kamloops Venom will be looking to fend off the Vernon Tigers to win their third consecutive Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League title. Game 1 will be played at Memorial Arena on Monday, with faceoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

on Aug. 4 at Kal Tire Place. Representatives from the four-team Pacific Northwest Lacrosse League (Vancouver Island) and the 11-team West Coast Junior Lacrosse League (Lower Mainland) have yet to be determined for the provincial tournament. Despite already knowing they will head to Vernon next month, the Venom aren’t resting on their laurels with a chance to grab the

TOJLL crown. “We want to win the league and we want to show everyone that we got there by winning the league,” Peterson said. “You definitely want to go into provincials playing your A game.” The Venom finished the season atop the TOJLL, with a record of 13-3. The Tigers, meanwhile, were 12-4. The season series between the

clubs ended in a tie, with Vernon winning the first two games and Kamloops the last two, including the final game of the season to give it home-floor advantage in the championship series. The Venom outscored the Tigers 38-31 in the regular season. “I’m reasonably confident,” Venom head coach Doug Clark told KTW. “I think we’re feeling pretty good about ourselves.” Clark said the key to the series

will be discipline, as both clubs boast potent power plays. If they can win that battle, they’ll be just fine, he said. “The biggest thing is they never, ever stop competing,” Clark said of Vernon. “They keep pushing, no matter what’s happening on the floor. They’re a very hard working bunch and they’re very well coached. “They’re a very, very good challenge for us.”

The Arizona Coyotes don’t want Shane Doan on their team. After 21 years of service, that is a tough pill to swallow for the Kamloops Blazers’ part-owner. “Initially, you want to prove some things,” said Doan, whose family summers in the Shuswap. “Maybe as I calm down a little bit, cooler heads will prevail. “In the end, you deal with things, you get over the thoughts and emotions.” Doan is coming off a one-year, $4.8 million contract and still has a desire to play in the NHL, but finding the perfect fit for him and his family is proving tough. “It’s pretty hard to find that,” said Doan, who teed it up at the Blazers’ alumni tournament at Rivershore Golf Links on Wednesday. “Pretty much impossible at this point. “We’re just kind of waiting and seeing. We’ve talked to four or five teams.” The Coyotes announced in June their captain was not a part of the team’s future, catching Doan off guard and catapulting him into free agency.

Shane Doan has run a gamut of emotions since the Arizona Coyotes made it clear he was not part of their plans.

Jarome Iginla, also a Blazers’ part-owner, is a veteran of the free-agency game, having bounced around the league after a 17-year stint with the Calgary Flames ended in 2013, with stops in Pittsburgh, Boston, Colorado and Los Angeles. Iginla, who has three children, and Doan, who has four, are put-

ting family first, saying they will retire before uprooting their kids and wives and moving them to a situation that is not ideal. “It’s not as cut and dry as when I was young and we didn’t have any kids,” Iginla said, noting his agent has talked to a few teams this summer. “There is a point where we don’t

want to keep moving them. “If I keep playing, I look forward to that. I’ll be ready. If I don’t, I’ve had a great run and I’m very thankful for that.” The 2016-2017 campaign was not a good one for Iginla, who started the season with the struggling Colorado Avalanche before being shipped to the LA Kings

before the trade deadline. Iginla finished the season with 14 goals and 27 points, but was minus-30 and the Kings failed to reach the playoffs. “I know last year I had a tough year, probably the toughest of my career,” Iginla said. “I look at it as fuel. I think I can bounce back and score goals and help a team in different areas. “I still love competing and battling and fighting in the hard areas. I think I’ll miss that when I am done, going into those battles.” Doan has played parts of 21 seasons in the NHL, all for the same organization. In 1,540 games, he registered 402 goals and 972 points, while serving as captain for the last 13 seasons. He has played in only 55 playoff contests, making it past the first round just once. Iginla has racked up 625 goals and 1,300 points in 1,554 games, but, like Doan, has never hoisted the Stanley Cup. “At 40, you want to be on a contending team,” Iginla said. “With the parity in the NHL, there are probably 15 teams that have a chance. “You factor all that in, along with family. At this point, we’re still uncertain.”

Rudolfs Balcers celebrates his 30th goal of the 2016-2017 WHL campaign at Sandman Centre last season. He signed with the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

Balcers signs NHL deal San Jose Sharks’ general manager Doug Wilson announced the club has signed forward Rudolfs Balcers to a standard entry-level contract. “Rudolfs is a natural goal-scorer who has proven that he can find the back of the net when his team needs it most,” said Sharks’ assistant general manager Joe Will. “His first season in North America showed he could keep up with

a more physical game, while still being one of the more dynamic snipers in the league. We’re excited to see him continue his development with our organization.” Balcers, 20, spent last season with the Kamloops Blazers, recording 77 points, including 40 goals, in 66 games. Among WHL rookies, Balcers ranked first in goals, fourth in assists, third in points

and first in game-winning goals (7). Balcers will likely play next season with the Sharks’ American Hockey League affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound native of Liepaja, Latvia, was selected by San Jose in the fifth round (142nd overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft. Kamloops nabbed Balcers 43rd overall at 2016 the CHL Import Draft.

Recchi takes coaching role Former NHL forward Mark Recchi, who has been serving in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ player development department, will move behind the bench with the team and join them as an assistant coach for the 2017-2018 season. Recchi was drafted by the Penguins with the 67th overall pick in 1988 before finishing his WHL career with the Kamloops Blazers. He racked up 1,533 points in 1,652 career games with Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, Montreal Canadiens, Atlanta Thrashers, Tampa Bay

Lightning and Boston Bruins. He will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) with the 2017 class this year, boasting his impressive scoring numbers and three Stanley Cups over a 22-year NHL career along, with gold medals for Team Canada at both the U20 and men’s world championships. For more on Recchi’s road to the HHOF, read KTW on Tuesday. Pittsburgh lost assistant coach Rick Tocchet to the Arizona Coyotes, as the bench boss departed for his former franchise to join them as head coach for the upcoming season.

Lions linebacker eyes CFL tackle record LOWELL ULLRICH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Solomon Elimimian says there is still room for growth in his game as the B.C. Lions middle linebacker eyes another spot in the CFL record book. The league’s reigning most outstanding defensive player came within a tackle of equalling the CFL record for tackles in a game when he had 15 takedowns last week in the Lions’ win over the Montreal Alouettes. Elimimian is looking for a 16-tackle performance when the Lions return to face another East Division opponent on the road when they play the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday. If he is successful, Elimimian would share the record with Reggie Hunt, who had 16 tackles in a 2003 game while with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Elimimian, who became first

Burnett, who has replaced Bighill in the club’s defensive alignment this season. “Although he’s getting the spotlight he includes us in everything.” There is a small point of frustration, however. “It’s kind of tough to have two guys get 15 tackles at the same time,’’ Burnett said, grinning. B.C. returns to the site of its most well-rounded performance of the 2016 season when they beat quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and the Ticats 28-3 at Tim Hortons Field. Hamilton, 0-2 prior to its regular-season-home opener Saturday, has scored just one offensive touchdown in eight quarters during which they have only led in 5:02 of play. Hamilton head coach Kent Austin and offensive co-ordinator Stefan Ptaszek have taken turns calling plays in the Ticats’ two losses. However, Hamilton’s record does not have the Lions looking past their next opponent and

Williams wows at Wimbledon LONDON — All these years later, Wimbledon still brings out the best in Venus Williams. With her latest display of gutsy serving and big hitting, Williams beat Johanna Konta 6-4, 6-2 on Thursday to reach her ninth title match at the All England Club and first since 2009. At 37, Williams is the oldest finalist since Martina Navratilova was the 1994 runnerup at that age. Williams also stopped Konta’s bid to become the first woman from Britain

in 40 years to win the country’s Grand Slam tournament. She will be seeking her sixth Wimbledon championship and eighth Grand Slam singles trophy overall. Her most recent came in 2008, when she defeated her younger sister, Serena, for the title at the All England Club. On Saturday, the 10th-seeded American will participate in her second Grand Slam final of the season and 16th of her career, this time against 14th-seeded Garbine Muguruza of

Spain. Muguruza overwhelmed 87th-ranked Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia 6-1, 6-1 in the earlier semifinal. In the semifinals, Konta had the first chance to nose ahead, a point from serving for the opening set when it was 4-all and Williams was serving down 15-40. Williams erased the first break point with a backhand winner down the line and the second with a 171 km/h second serve that went right at Konta’s body. It was a risky strategy, going

for so much pace on a second serve, but it worked — opening a run in which Williams won 12-of-13 points. Williams wouldn’t face another break point and, later, produced another impressive second serve — in the second set, at 166 km/h, it went right at Konta, who jumped out of the way. Konta finished with more winners, 20 to 19, each greeted by roars from the Centre Court spectators. This was her 10th semifinal in 20 Wimbledon appearances; Konta had never

looming intradivisional play, despite the club’s stellar record against East Division opponents. Since the start of the 2016 season, B.C. is 6-0 on the road and 9-1 overall against the East. “They have a dangerous mindset,’’ Elimimian said of the Tiger-Cats and quarterback Zach Collaros. “It’s a must-win for them we have to have the same intensity the last two weeks which is to not take anything for granted.” Elimimian, who became the first defensive starter in league history to be named the league’s most outstanding player in 2014, looks at his tackle totals the same way. “When I had 15 tackles (against Montreal), I was mad I didn’t get 16 or 17, but I made all the plays that came to me,” he said. “Records are records. I won MOP in 2014 and for a second I was happy but I couldn’t share it with my teammates because we didn’t win the Grey Cup that year.”

Canadian Olympic champion returns to world stage “

I don’t think my approach to world championships is any different than it was going into the Olympics.

DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Penny Oleksiak believes she’s swimming faster these days. The world championship will tell her if she’s right. The 17-year-old Olympic champion from Toronto leads a Canadian team deep in female talent into the pool at the world aquatic championships opening Friday in Budapest, Hungary. Winner of freestyle gold, butterfly silver and the anchor in a pair of relay bronze in Rio last summer, Oleksiak is as curious as anyone to see how high the needle on her speedometer goes in her world championship debut. “I think I’m really about to find out,” Oleksiak said Thursday on a conference call. “I haven’t got to race a lot

this year, but I’m superexcited just to get in the pool again and race in Budapest. “I don’t think my approach to world championships is any different than it was going into the Olympics. “Obviously I’m still a little bit nervous and not really sure what to expect going into it, but I definitely have a bit more confidence because of last summer and because of the racing that I’ve done this year.’’

The biannual world aquatic championships also include diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and open-water swimming, so Canada is sending a total of 83 athletes to Budapest. Canadians won four silver medals in diving and four swimming bronze two years ago in Kazan, Russia. Diving and synchronized swimming kick off this year’s competition on Friday, followed by the first open-water race on Saturday. The pool portion starts on July 23, so Oleksiak and her 25 teammates have a few more days of prepara-

tion at their staging camp near Rome. Oleksiak is encouraged by personal best times in the 50-metre butterfly and freestyle this year. “I think people will always have expectations for me and people will always try and tell me their expectations to, I guess, motivate me,” she said. “But I don’t pay attention to anyone else’s expectations. I honestly don’t really care. “I’m definitely trying to reach my own expectations and, right now, they’re just to swim fast and to hope-

They won a pair of freestyle relay gold with Oleksiak swimming the anchor. They were voted The Canadian Press team of the year for 2016, which was just the third time in a half-century a women’s team earned that distinction. Oleksiak has company among women to watch in Budapest. Winner of Olympic bronze in the 100metre backstroke, Kylie Masse was less than a tenth of a second off the world record at trials in April.

Double relay medallist Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C. didn’t qualify for the team at trials, but will compete in the world junior championship in August. Canadian swimmers qualified for 16 finals in Kazan and made it into 15 finals last year in Rio. “The goals for the team are to build on the results of the last quad,” Swimming Canada high-performance director John Atkinson said. “We’re looking to increase our number of final swims. “We feel the team has everything at its disposal to be best prepared for performance on demand in Budapest.”

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Laura Mae Forgues April 3, 1954 - July 16, 2007

Terrie Lorraine Simpson

Orest Zerebeski On June 1, 2017, Orest Zerebeski of Kamloops, BC, age 78, passed away peacefully in his chair at home. He was predeceased by his wife Deania, by exactly 1,436 days and that was about enough. His two children Laura and Kevin, his grandson Jack and his overfed cat all miss him terribly.

May 13, 1958 July 9, 2017

Orest was the middle child of Anne and Harry Zerebeski. He was raised in Saskatchewan from sturdy Ukrainian farming stock which automatically made him more stalwart and stubborn than 50% of the population; the other 50% was learned along the way.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Terrie L. Simpson at her home at The Hamlets in Westsyde.

In Loving Memory Mom She never looked for praises She was never one to boast She went on quietly working For the ones she loved the most.

Terrie is survived by her mother Luella, sister Diane, sons Robert (Crystal) and Kevin (Alia) and her grandchildren Riley, Jordyn, Maximus and Scarlett. She also leaves behind many friends at The Hamlets. She was predeceased by her husband Doug Simpson, father, stepfather and brother.

Her dreams were seldom spoken Her wants were very few And most of the time her worries Went unspoken too. She was there…a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife.

She loved to spend time with family and friends and had a shrine of photos on her wall of grandchildren.

A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings The woman that we called Mom.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the MS Society.

He pursued an Engineering degree at the University of Saskatchewan. He also learned that hard work can make up for any misstep not the least of which was realizing that you can’t party your way to a B.Sc. However, as effort but not luck would have it, he earned his degree plus a solid life lesson about humility and redemption which he relayed to his children at every opportunity. While he loved playing sports – especially curling, hockey, golf and baseball – he was better at baseball than most. His pro athlete aspirations were tempered by realism but he sometimes wistfully recalled the time he got a hit off of the revered pitcher Satchel Paige. The rest of his sports dreams were spent chastising CBC for not covering curling well enough. His education and upbringing instilled three mottos: Be Prepared, Be Thorough and Know Yourself. These mottos guided everything he did and helped him excel in his career of managing maintenance systems around the world starting at Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill in Kamloops and ending at Alpart’s bauxite mine in Jamaica.

Elisa Gasparin On S a t u r d a y, July 1, 2017, Elisa Gasparin peacefully passed away at the Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops, B.C. She was 91 years young. Elisa was born on September 30, 1925 on Robbins Range to Katerina and Giuseppe Bertolotti.

Services and Celebration of Life will be held at Schoening’s Funeral Home in Kamloops on Friday, July 21, 2017 at 11:00 am.

Preserve a special memory or create a lasting tribute to your loved one with your favourite photograph reproduced in the style of an oil painting on canvas. We have several styles for you to choose from. The portrait can be of the deceased or a family photo. The possibilities are endless. We have samples at both of our locations.

Ms. Myrna Fox Ms. Myrna Fox, passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on July 8, 2017. She will be lovingly remembered by her brothers Blake Fox (Linda) and Michael Fox, sisters Avalean Loerke and Valerie Hoy (Allen) as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and relatives. She is predeceased by her parents Clair and Aletha Fox.

Elisa was a devoted wife and a loving and selfless mother. She was predeceased by her husband Vasco in 2005 and brothers Pete and Leno Bertolotti and brother-in-law Nunzio Gasparin. Elisa is survived by her three sons Tony (Maureen), Terry (Michele) and Morris (Lana), four grandchildren Brandon, Brian, Matthew and Michael and two great-grandchildren Ashlynn and Beckham.

Myrna was born in Winnipeg and raised at Carman, MB where she began her banking career. From there, she transferred with the bank to Calgary then Kamloops. In 1964, she made a move to Hawaii, where for 40 years she worked for the Central Pacific Bank. Myrna was the first hoole (Caucasian) hired by this Japanese based bank in Honolulu. After assuming several banking positions, she retired in 2005 and has lived in Kamloops for the past 10 years.

In her passing, we mourn at what we have lost and rejoice at what she has gained.

There will be a private family Graveside Service.

Our family would love to thank and express gratitude to all the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for showing her love and respect.

Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Myrna.

Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

He had a hearty laugh and a booming voice and could use both to alternately charm and intimidate. He was courtly and respectful to all but especially so to animals (even rodents) and children (even brats) and they loved him for it. His handwriting was unexpectedly beautiful, his crepes were objectively magnificent and his homemade wine ... became very drinkable over time. He had a system for everything, whether it was running a pulp mill or loading a dishwasher. He promoted the theory of moderation and sometimes even practiced it. He only ran out of gas once—in Saskatchewan—and then never again. He believed that when what you don’t anticipate happens, that doesn’t mean it’s the end because what you learn can never be taken away from you. He pretty much anticipated everything, though, which meant that he was the one everyone relied on. As a dedicated sports enthusiast, maintenance specialist, sage advisor and ant in a world of grasshoppers, he alone knew that there is always more left until there isn’t.

He always said that the best part of his life started when he met Deania, his wife of 46 years. He tended to be a little shy and introspective but Deania was the antidote. He proposed in 1966 overlooking the meeting of the North and South Thompson rivers and they lived as happily ever after as people ever do in real life: through vacations and work, financial ups and downs and sickness and health.

Celebration Of Life For Daryl George Seifert

Pennies

From Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found.

Ask DRAKE

“Found” pennies come from heaven,

Drake Smith, MSW

That’s what my Grandpa told me

Every Friday in KTW!

Funeral Director

Q. How much do keepsake urns cost?

He said angels toss them down;

A Celebration of Life for Daryl George Seifert will be held on Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 2:00 pm.

Location: The Word of Life Church, 3587 Westsyde Road,

(On the corner of Westsyde Rd. and Harrington St.)

Kamloops, BC.

As Daryl was very fond of Hawaiian shirts, please feel free to wear one.

A. We charge $69 for most of them, and we have quite a selection. Many of our clients bring a little container from home, or from the dollar store or thrift shop. If we looked after Murray’s cremation, we’ll transfer some of his ashes into the keepsake urn for Alice, no charge.

Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, !

When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of Larry Lamarche

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

April 30, 1945 - July 17, 2015 If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane I would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again.

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.

From your loving Wife & Family

Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay.

WON’T STOP ‘TIL YOU GET ENOUGH

THE KING OF POP WILL BE RESURRECTED IN KAMLOOPS FOR A JULY 23 TRIBUTE SHOW JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

D

JON VAN GRINSVEN PHOTO Dantanio Goodman will be in Kamloops as part of a North American tour of the Michael Jackson History Show. Goodman has been dancing like the King of Pop since he was nine years old in his home country of South Africa.

antanio Goodman remembers the first time he was introduced to the music of Michael Jackson. He was nine years of age at the time and his older brother was busting a move to Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough. “I didn’t know who he was dancing to,” Goodman said. “He was like, ‘It’s Michael Jackson!’” Goodman was influenced by that experience and more dance parties in his family living room. He learned his own moves and performed in school talent shows, entered competitions and eventually wondered whether he could take his MJ act to another level. “That was three years ago,” Goodman said. “With this gig.” Goodman now stars in the Michael Jackson History Show, a tribute performance based out of Australia that is coming to Kamloops on July 23. KTW caught up with the performer by phone from his home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Goodman was born and raised in South Africa. He visited New Orleans in 2002 and is looking forward to revisiting North America. His trip to Kamloops will be a first. “It’s quite an honour for me to travel all the way to that side of the world and do Michael Jackson to a world stage, world audience,” he said. “I’m looking forward to sharing a great performance.” When he takes the stage at Sagebrush Theatre, Goodman will sing, dance, walk and talk like MJ. “I try my best to meet the realism of what is Michael Jackson for the fans,” he said. He called the so-called King of Pop a standout artist — and rightfully so. Even after death, Jackson is a pop culture legend, known for his famed dance moves, such as the moonwalk, but also for breaking racial barriers and musical innovation — not to mention countless awards, milestones and accolades. While Jackson’s musical legacy is undeniable, the star’s personal life was not without controversy. Jackson reportedly tried to buy the so-called Elephant Man’s bones, outbid Paul McCartney in the purchase of Beatles songs, changed his appearance multiple times over and was shrouded in child-abuse allegations. “I try to stay clear from that during a performance of this nature,” Goodman said. “I’ve got to remember I am Dantanio. I am not Michael Jackson. I want to emulate the good.” As for the music, Goodman’s favourite song is Billy Jean. He said he appreciates the build up and suspense of the song, which was released as part of the Thriller album. It will take more than two hours of makeup and more than 20 costume changes throughout the show — from shoes, a tie, a hat and that famed glove — to transform Goodman into the King of Pop and bring the audience through the artist’s musical history. “You’ve got to think of it as a Formula One pitstop,” he said of the fastpaced costume changes that come with help from crew. Add to that, the July 23 show will feature three LED screens, props and smoke machines. It begins at 7 p.m. For tickets, go online to Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca.

family affair Friday’s Music in the Park act features mother-daughter duo JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hile the whole band certainly feels like one big family, Jennifer Boal and Sophia Mae Boal share a special bond rarely seen on stage. “I get to spend so much extra time with her,” Jennifer said of performing with her 16-year-old daughter. “That’s not often the case with teenagers.” The mother-daughter music duo, for which Lake Country’s The J.S. Garcia Band is named, began after Jennifer took Sophia to open-mic sessions. Sophia was just eight years of age

at the time and took an early interest in music, one that was fostered into belting out harmonies in time to Jennifer’s vocals and landed her a spot on stage next to mom. “It just blew me away because harmony is hard enough as an adult,” Jennifer said. Today, Sophia adds a youthful flare to The J.S. Garcia Band, whose eldest member — keyboardist Laverne Berget — is in her late 50s. The band performs largely cover music. Its musical tastes range from the retro influences of its older members — The Beatles, Blondie and The Eurythmics — to Sophia’s preference for

the modern voices of Ed Sheeran, One Republic and Camila Cabello. “She brings a nice current flavour with her song choices,” Jennifer said. “The rest of us love retro rock, soft rock, stuff like that.” The J.S. Garcia Band will take the stage in Riverside Park on Friday, a show Jennifer said will have a little something for everyone. “We enjoy ourselves so much,” she said. “I think that translates to the audience.” While Sophia took to music, Jennifer isn’t pushing her younger son to take the stage with mother and daughter. “I think just giving them the tools is so important

and whether they take it and run with it is something else,” she said. For more on the band, go online to jsgarciaband.ca.

eland Klassen is offering laughter to those seeking refuge in Kamloops from wildfires wreaking havoc in the region. “Laughter is good medicine,” Klassen, comedian and organizer of the Kamloops Komedy Festival, told KTW. Klassen is offering LELAND KLASSEN: free admission to those Festival organizer offers tickets to evacuees. impacted by the fires and will be donating a portion of ticket sales to the Kamloops Salvation Army. Klassen said he was moved by devastating video footage of the Boston Flats trailer park in Ashcroft, where a wildfire destroyed 30 homes last week. Thousands of people have since taken refuge in Kamloops and the province remains under a state of emergency. “People might need a night off,” Klassen said. The Kamloops Komedy Festival began on Thursday and continues through Sunday in the River City. In its second year, it features headlining act and This Hour has 22 Minutes star Shaun Majumder on Saturday night, along with Klassen, Mike Delamont, Erica Sigurdson, Matt Falk, John Cullen, Dale Ward and Matt Foster to round out the acts throughout the four-day festival. Klassen recommended Falk’s performance for families, the only act to be performed at the Kamloops Alliance Church. It is on Sunday night. “Matt’s one of the best comics in Canada, too,” Klassen said. “And he works clean. Not that the other guys aren’t clean, but Matt can do a church. That’s how clean he is.” Evacuees can pick up free wildfire coupons from Kamloops Live box office, at 1025 Lorne St., or show up at the venue before the show. (It is recommended to get tickets in advance to guarantee availability.) Identification is required. Klassen is hoping to grow the festival into a destination event, adding to tourism events throughout the Tournament Capital during summer months. For more information and tickets to the festival, go online to kamloopskomedyfestival.com. Festival passes and single show tickets are available. “I just want to give something back,” Klassen said.

The Sun Peak’s Alpine Club has hosted an Oktoberfest fundraiser for six years. Attendees, as shown above from last year’s festivities, dress up in Bavarian attire. This year’s event is on Oct. 14.

Oktoberfest returns this fall kamloops.ca/capitalprojects

Pull out the dirndls and lederhosen — the Sun Peak’s Alpine Club will once again bring Oktoberfest to Kamloops this fall. Early-bird tickets go on sale beginning July 14 for the Oct. 14 event, which is the sixthannual fundraiser for the Sun Peaks racers. “Each year, the Club relies on a huge commitment of volunteer time and money to provide quality programs

and put on a variety of races,” said Montana Molyneux, director of ski for the Sun Peaks Alpine Club. “During peak season, our club employs up to 25 coaches who run programs for all ages. The races each year cost thousands of dollars and volunteer hours to run. “It’s because of these costs that Oktoberfest was created and it has become the Sun Peaks Alpine Club’s most suc-

cessful fundraiser to date.” This year, the club has also partnered with KidSport Kamloops, with partial proceeds to be donated to the organization to provide local kids with athletic programming. The night will feature Bavarian-style appetizers, dinner and dessert, as well as a photo booth, fundraising games, dancing, a silent auction and more.

The first keg will be tapped at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 14. Early-bird tickets are $85 per person or $800 per table of 10. Tickets jump to $95 per person and $900 per table of 10 on Sept. 15. The event is 19-plus. For tickets and more information, go online to sunpeaksracers.com or email kamloopsoktoberfest@gmail.com.

Four years later, Leibovitz photos remain in storage BRETT BUNDALE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Famed American photographer Annie Leibovitz snapped this photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono mere hours before Lennon was shot to death.

HALIFAX — Four years after the country’s largest collection of photographs by famed American artist Annie Leibovitz was donated to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the images of celebrity and pop culture icons remain in storage. The impasse stems from a refusal by an

independent federal board to certify the multi-million dollar collection as cultural property of outstanding significance, leaving many well-known portraits in the dark, including a naked and pregnant Demi Moore, and Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as the Blues Brothers. Art Gallery of Nova Scotia director Nancy Noble said the Canadian Cultural Property Export

Review Board has repeatedly refused to certify the bulk of the Leibovitz photos. “They basically have determined that it’s not of outstanding cultural significance and we disagree with them,” Noble said. “Annie Leibovitz is a cultural icon across the world and she is the portrait artist of our times.’’ Other famous images in the collection include actress

Whoopi Goldberg bathing in milk, a brooding Queen Elizabeth II and the haunting photo of a naked John Lennon and Yoko Ono snuggling on a floor five hours before the musician was gunned down in front of his New York apartment. While the board certified Leibovitz’s “file collection” — the series of snapshots that led to final photographs — it has refused to certify the large-scale exhibition-

style prints. Noble said she is at a loss to understand why only a portion of the collection would be certified. A spokesman for Leibovitz said in an email she is out of the country and “just not commenting on this matter right now.” Toronto art lawyer Aaron Milrad said the board made an error. “I believe the board could have been more generous about understanding the importance of the artwork and the quality of the opportunity that would be available for students . . . to study that work and become a repository of note in Canada,’’ he said. Milrad said for a small Canadian venue to obtain a collection of this magnitude was a “coup.” “You don’t get too many women photographers of that calibre and nature . . . It’s been a man’s area with just a few exceptions. This is an archives, including the negatives, that’s irreplaceable.” Meanwhile, the gallery submitted its fourth and final application to the board in June and expects to hear back in the coming months. Museums and galleries only have five years to certify “cultural prop-

erty” following a donation, so Noble said this will be the last attempt. The certification provides important tax incentives to donors, she said, encouraging private collectors to donate artwork to public institutions that couldn’t otherwise afford the art. However, it’s those tax incentives that may have raised red flags. In fact, Milrad said the laws around tax shelter gifting arrangements were changed two years after the donation was made. He said the board got “all hot and heavy about the money part.” The works were purchased for US$4.75 million but are valued closer to $20 million. The family of Al and Faye Mintz of Toronto donated the images in June 2013 in what was the largest single donation of one artist. Canadian Heritage Department spokesman Jon Schofield said in an email that the board’s role is limited to certifying cultural property as being of outstanding significance and national importance, and determining its fair market value for tax purposes. But he could not comment on why the bulk of the collection was not certified, citing privacy concerns.

The Kiwanis Club of Kamloops would like to thank the sponsors and all the people in Kamloops and area who bought tickets for the Canada Day Raffle.

ust outside town, a sculpted wooden Sasquatch welcomes visitors to Harrison Hot Springs. Like us, many stop for photos with this legendary being. As well, similar sculptures pose in other village spots. Giant footprints decorate pavement tiles linking hotels, public pool, restaurants or shops selling bigfoot chocolates. This delightful lakeside village also boasts fine eateries featuring seasonal, locally sourced edibles. The renowned Copper Room accords us an evening of haute cuisine, lively band music and inviting dance floor. Along the waterfront, cozy Morgan’s Bistro provides another exquisite dinner. And further on, Muddy Waters serves up mouthwatering casual fare and yummy baked goods. Several trails around town furnish leisurely strolls. One circles the man-made lagoon, a fitting distance before breakfast or after dinner. Another meanders through parks and neighbourhoods bordering the slow-moving Miami River. And the Bridle Trail loops into nearby forests perfumed with woodsy aromas, where a wooden bridge leads onto the Spirit Trail, our favourite. Here, a local artist evokes sylvan spirits with 24 terracotta masks. Mounted high on soaring red cedar trunks, some express surprise; others grin; several meditate. A lakeshore pathway leads us to the source of Harrison’s geothermal waters. Storyboards outline the nature and history of these celebrated hot springs bubbling up at over 70 degrees Celsius. For generations, aboriginal families used them for therapeutic healing. The waters now piped to public pools and resort spas cool to a mere 29 C to 40 C. We’re reminded that prospec-

tors returning from the goldfields capsized their canoe into glacierfed Harrison Lake in1858. Dreading frigid waters, warmth shocked them instead. Word of the curative waters quickly spread and the St. Alice Hotel and Bathhouse soon became B.C.’s first vacation retreat. A mountainside footpath above the trickling Miami takes us past stately evergreens, across a bridge and back to the hotel. Though destroyed by fire in 1926, this landmark reopened as the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel. Our comfortable rooms in its historic redbrick core lie close to

the soothing pools. Lower hallway photos show early hotel patrons. Some guests arrived on paddlewheelers then plying the Fraser and Harrison rivers; others came on a Studebaker bus that shuttled them from the train station in neighbouring Agassiz. We’ve often pedalled our bikes across quiet farmlands into Agassiz for ice cream treats. But this visit, we drive to nearby Sasquatch Provincial Park for a six-kilometer hike looping Hicks Lake. From the day use parking lot, a path leads onto a forestry road. Hoofing high above the lake’s

eastern shoreline in the sunshine, bird song fills the clear air. A white sand beach at the lake’s south end proves ideal for snacking with a view. Silvery waters perfectly mirror surrounding emerald mountains and shoreline trees. Beneath the western shore’s lofty cedars, a hillside trail leads upward and then gently down again. Spanning a dozen rustic bridges, tramping alongside two sandy beaches and a treed campground brings us smoothly back to our car. Further encounters with nature begin at the resort marina.

Harrison Eco Tours boat swoops us up the pristine Harrison River, widening out at the Chehalis River junction. Stately bald eagles perch haughtily on pilings once used for log sorting. Sleek seals swim curiously past us. “Known for abundant salmon stocks, these flats also attract countless birds,” Captain Jim declares. “Let’s see who’s here today.” We observe birds fishing and diving, including elegant western grebes, ospreys, rusty tufted mergansers, mallards, herons . . . as vultures slowly circle. Another highlight becomes watching as the blue Harrison swirls into the muddy Fraser before heading back. Another afternoon, a 62-foot cabin cruiser carries us northward up the lake. While we absorb sweeping panoramas, the crew grills burgers on the sundeck. Our chicken burger lunches prove perfect. Nearing Echo Island’s steep cliffs, guide Sterling circulates a large rock studded with black clamshells. “These local fossils suggest an ancient seabed, likely pushed upward by tectonic plates,” he recounts. “Eons later, ice-age glaciers carved out our beautiful, 60-kilometer long lake.” “Paddlewheelers once carried miners to Port Douglas, then thriving at the lake’s end. And from there, they’d trek to the Cariboo goldfields,” Sterling explains. “Now a ghost town, Shoreline Tours operates occasional daytrips there.” Sighting Rainbow Falls dramatically plunging 140-meters marks the end of our scenic tour. Nestled amid majestic mountains less than two hours from Vancouver, Harrison Hot Springs offers us superb encounters with nature. There, it’s easy to pursue our love of the outdoors, relish fresh cuisine, revitalize in tranquil spas and even glimpse the past.
