Another 150 Canadian Armed Forces personnel have been dispatched to the B.C. Interior, primarily to enforce road and area closures and spell off Mounties. Two newly minted NDP government ministers arrived in Kamloops Thursday morning to speak with evacuees and staff in the Interior. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development Doug Donaldson and Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth spoke to reporters at the Provincial Wildfire Co-ordination Centre at Kamloops Airport. Both men emphasized there is a smooth transition to a new government, but noted they have been on the job for less than 48 hours. They received briefings at a first cabinet meeting on Wednesday. “They’ll [Canadian Armed Forces] be on the ground very shortly,” Farnworth

said. “There’s a lot [of people involved in the wildfire battle] that need a break.” Premier John Horgan announced an extension of the provincial state of emergency that allows families evacuated to access another $600 payment after 14 days. Farnworth said there is good uptake on that program after initial delays. About $10 million has been expended of the original $100-million pledge by the outgoing Liberal government. Farnworth said outgoing Liberal ministers, particularly John Rustad, have been cooperative with the transition in power amid the state of emergency. Outside the conference room where the new ministers met with reporters is a buzz of aircraft, including two from Alberta. Farnworth said there are about 3,000 firefighters on the ground, with thousands more volunteers at emergency shelters. About 200 aircraft are in action. Farnworth credited the city with its efforts to assist people

from the South Cariboo who have fled their homes. “The community of Kamloops has opened up their hearts,” he said. “We just want to say thank you to everyone on the front line, thank you to Kamloops and thank you to Kamloops First Nations.” Tk’emlups Indian Band’s Powwow Grounds have become home to many evacuees. The band is assisting, but has yet to receive direct funding from the federal government. Farnworth said he will be pressing that issue when key ministers meet with federal counterparts on the weekend. While fire season is only started, some questions are being asked about whether the province was prepared, particularly in wake of the Filmon report following what was dubbed Firestorm 2003. Donaldson said he has looked through that report but it’s far too early to seek answers. “Once the season is over we’ll reflect on that.”

The man accused of killing a teenaged girl in a hit-and-run crash on a Kamloops street last year has once again been released on bail. Jason Gourlay was released with the consent of prosecutors on Thursday following a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court. JENNIFER GATEY The 42-year-old is facing charges of failing to remain at the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence, as well as unrelated counts of possession of a controlled substance and breach of bail. Jennifer Gatey was struck and killed alongside an Aberdeen street on Nov. 4, 2016. The 16-year-old was crossing Pacific Way behind her family’s home to catch a bus to the Tournament Capital Centre. Gourlay’s Jeep was identified as having potentially been involved with Gatey’s death within days of the hit and run. It was eventually seized by police and forensic evidence was collected. Gourlay was arrested on March 3 and granted his first crack at bail less than a week later, under strict conditions that he stay at a drug-rehabilitation facility on Vancouver Island. He was arrested on April 18 and charged with one count alleging he breached his bail conditions by failing to reside as directed and failing to abide by house rules. Gourlay’s new bail conditions are almost identical to the order made in March. He was ordered released on $20,000 cash bail and will be required to stay at an addictions-treatment centre in Surrey. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison ordered Gourlay released into the care of his mother, who is to immediately drive him to the facility in Surrey. Gourlay is scheduled to stand trial on March 26, 2018, with four weeks set aside in court. A five-day voir dire hearing is set for late February 2018 so lawyers can argue what evidence will be allowed at trial.

SUMMER TIPS FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING In the kitchen: Wash produce in a bucket, and use the remaining water to water your garden or house plants. Keep a jug of tap water in the fridge so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to run the tap to cool the water. Enjoy the benefits of locally grown organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible to reduce the overall carbon footprint. In the garden: Put kitchen scraps in a compost and use that compost in your garden. This will reduce the amount of waste you send to the landfill, and it will contribute to a healthier garden! Xeriscaped gardens require less weeding, fertilizing, pruning, and mowing. They also require less water and fewer pesticides than the typical yard. For more information, visit kamloops.ca/ipm. In the community: Buy products with less packaging. Shop with reusable shopping bags. Ride your bike to work.

BE WATER WISE

Notice to Motorists

Did You Know? The average Kamloops resident uses 1,800 L of water per person, per day! Eighty percent of the water consumed in the summer is used outdoors to water grass, hose driveways, and wash vehicles.

WE HAVE A YOUNG CHILD . . . ...what should we be thinking about when we do our Wills? Firstly, naming a guardian - if both biological parents die without a guardian in place, then a judge will decide. This can deteriorate into contested lawsuits.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

While the Kamloops Marathon and other events have been cancelled due to the wildfire situation, Tourism Kamloops and city businesses are trying to spread the word that the Tournament Capital remains open to visitors.

Secondly, appointing a Trustee in your Will to manage your child’s inheritance, until your child reaches the age of your choosing. Without this, your child will be entitled to receive his/her inheritance at age 19. Until then the money would held by the Public Guardian and Trustee’s office, and be inaccessible for your children's needs.

BUSINESSES BRAVING WILDFIRE CRISIS TUMULT SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

espite stresses on the city from the influx of wildfire evacuees and lingering smoke in the air, Kamloops remains open for business and people are still visiting the city. A number of hotels surveyed in the area reported that with evacuees staying, they had just two to three rooms available or were completely booked, even during the week. Despite the demand, Monica Dickinson with Tourism Kamloops said accommodations are still available. “We aren’t a sold-out city at this point,” Dickinson said. “Every couple of minutes the phone rings and it’s usually someone who is coming into or through the community and wondering what’s still available.” Hotel vacancy at this time of year is normally about 25 to 30 per cent during the week and 10 to 20 per cent on weekends, according to Dickinson. Dickinson said Tourism Kamloops is now focused on helping people adapt their plans while travelling through wildfireaffected areas — and is still encouraging people to come to the city. Those who do arrive may have limited options in terms of recreation. With 17 parks in the city now closed, visitors may have to look for indoor activities. The wildfire crisis has led to cancellations of events, the most notable being the Kamloops

Marathon, which was slated to be held this Sunday. Smoke and volunteer base were cited as reasons for the event’s cancellation. Earlier, a three-day Harley Owners Group rally in Kamloops was nixed, with participants instead turning to fundraising and volunteering. And, while the Tk’emlups Indian Band is still planning on holding its 38th annual Kamloopa Powwow from Aug. 4 to Aug. 6, there will be logistics challenges if evacuees now camping at the area remain displaced into that weekend. Outdoor businesses are also feeling the effects of the wildfires. Golf courses around Kamloops have reported business is down. “Our business has slowed a little bit, just due to all the evacuees. I think people are deciding to spend their time doing a little more volunteering and being hands-on,” said Jinn Baik, pro shop manager at Sun Rivers Golf Course. Brice MacDermott, general manager at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club, pointed to poor air quality as a reason for the dip in tee times. Once an evacuee himself during fires in Kelowna, MacDermott has some insight into what people are going through. “There’s nothing like sitting around worrying about it. If you can go play golf and maybe set your mind at ease, and hopefully come visit us, that would be great,” MacDermott said. Both clubs have offered their services to evacuees, with special rates and

discounts available. Meanwhile, businesses may also be affected by the suspension or limitation of mail delivery by Canada Post due to wildfire smoke in the area. At the retail level, the impact may be harder to measure. Sandra Desrosiers, general manager at Aberdeen Mall, said retailers she has spoken with said sales haven’t been affected, adding it might be too soon to determine any effect the wildfires may have. The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce has listed two Kamloops companies ready to help businesses that faced evacuations. Innov8 is offering access to copy and printing equipment and the Kamloops Innovation Centre is offering co-working space from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Outside of Kamloops, businesses affected by the wildfires do have some help coming. The British Columbia Economic Development Association (BCEDA) said it will establish a hotline for businesses in communities impacted by the wildfires, similar to what Alberta did after the Fort McMurray fires last year. BCEDA president and CEO Dale Wheeldon said the organization has initiated its economic disaster recovery program, which was established after the Burns Lake mill explosion in 2012. “We’re going to do everything we can to find answers or provide input right then and there. We’ve got a whole team set up around the province that will be able to respond to these businesses,” Wheedon said.

Instead, you choose and appoint a Trustee in your Will. The Trustee can use the inheritance monies at his/her discretion to pay for your children’s education expenses, care or maintenance general support etc. The Trustee could be the same person as the guardian, or could be another person entirely.

How to ensure kids cope with the crisis

NO DOCTOR REFERRAL REQUIRED!

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

K-Laser is Kamloops’ Drug Free, Surgery Free Solution to Pain Relief.

Evacuees at Sandman Centre in Kamloops have shown a gamut of emotions, from laughter to tears. At a makeshift campground on the Tk’emlups Indian Band Powwow Grounds, evacuation has become synonymous with vacation. “I think that most people, including children, are resilient and get through these natural disasters without long-term consequences,” said Dr. Susan Baer, child psychiatrist at B.C. Children’s Hospital. KTW reached Baer in Vancouver for a telephone interview. At this point, the lone hospital specializing in children’s care in the province has not seen an influx of patients in response to wildfires burning throughout B.C. The hospital is, however, providing support to families and tips for those dealing with trauma. While many of those affected — evacuated children and adults, firefighters and volunteers — are resilient, others may experience stress and anxiety, among other mental-health impacts, due sleep deprivation, fatigue, financial stress and uncertainty. Asked whether kids of certain ages are more likely to be impacted mentally, Baer said age is not a determinate. It comes down to a multitude of factors, some of which include whether a child has pre-existing conditions related to anxiety or trauma and how well the adults in their lives are handling the situation. The latter can make a significant difference with coping, Baer said. “Kids look a lot to parents,” she said. When a child falls down and skins their knee, for example, it is

common for them to look to a parent to determine how to interpret the situation. Parents can help children by managing their own stress. “They are able to sort of cope and give the message to children it will be OK,” Baer said. It’s not easy, but some tips include: maintaining routines such as regular mealtimes and sleep schedules; participating in family activities that are not firefocused; showing children love, trust and support and discussing the situation openly. “Honesty is generally a good principle for kids,” Baer said. That said, Baer encouraged parents to share stories of bravery, solidarity and community support related to the fires. “They can help build resilience,” she said. Asked whether children are more vulnerable the longer they are displaced, Baer said it depends on what has happened during that time. “Again, that idea . . . if this is where you are right now, trying to set up a little bit of a routine,” she said. On the other hand, it’s normal for families to experience stress in the immediate moment and Baer advised families to keep an eye on potential long-term effects. Parents should be concerned if the situation settles and a child is still having problems sleeping, is more fearful, experiences separation anxiety, has nightmares or isn’t socializing. “That would raise some red flags that parents would need more support for that child,” Baer said.

Free workshop, therapy sessions

A Kamloops counsellor who specializes in trauma therapy is offering free services to evacuees. A mindfulness workshop

for mothers will be held at Cea Winter’s Paul Lake studio on Sunday. She is also offering oneon-one sessions by appointment. The Sunday workshop is at 10 a.m. at the Shimmering Tree Studio. Winter specializes in selfregulation therapy, which brings people’s attention to what their body is telling them. The workshop will include gentle yoga, guided visualizations, art therapy and a whole food lunch. “It’s a chance to process anything that’s been bothering them,” Winter told KTW. Space is limited and those interested are asked to register by calling Winter at 250-573-4225 or emailing cea@shimmeringtreecounselling.ca.

Bonaparte band digs in CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Firefighters, emergency workers and key officials remain on the Bonaparte Indian Band’s main reserve near Cache Creek despite a lingering evacuation order. Chief Ryan Day said the band is operating under its own orders. It encouraged residents to move to Kamloops or other nearby cities while wildfire risk was high. At the same time, key

officials, firefighters and a handful of residents declined to leave. “We’ve tried to work closely with the TNRD, but we’re independent as far as orders are concerned,” Day said. He said the band is working with regional district emergency officials and the provincial wildfire service, including twice-daily meetings to update on the progress of the Elephant Hill (formerly known as the Ashcroft Reserve) fire. “We’re 100 per cent up to date,” Day said.

The band firefighters are working to firesafe the two reserves under threat, including the main reserve on Highway 97 five kilometres north of Cache Creek. About 60 band members remain. “We have people looking after livestock up and down the valley, not just in our community,” Day said. “We have our crew doing firefighting and mitigation toward the reserve. “We’re here for the duration.”

Animal help needed As a result of displaced animals in the B.C. Interior due to the proliferation of wildfires, the Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team is looking for shift volunteers in the Kamloops area who are horse savvy. Volunteers also need to know how to handle other farm animals, in addition to horses. Volunteers are also needed for a 24-hour animal shelter. The shelter

handles small pets, such as dogs, cats and small animals (bunnies, hamsters, etc.). Volunteers are also needed as runners to complete errands. The Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team is taking applications over the phone and will assign shifts. Those interested can call 250-9382211 or 1-778-855-3264.

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 overwhelming support shown by residents in Kamloops and beyond for their fellow British Columbians who have been displaced by wildfires. Anyone who has been to Sandman Centre, the Tk’emlups Indian band’s Powwow Grounds and other places housing evacuees cannot only see the great volunteer work being done, but can also feel the positive energy. For those needing help and those wanting to help, KTW’s website has a plethora of information. To start, go online to www.kamloopsthisweek.com/bc-fire-watch and www. kamloopsthisweek.com/helpfirevictims, two constantly updated pages that contain an enormous amount of important information.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The buffoon who tossed a lit cigarette into the dry grass along Rose Hill Road on Wednesday sparking a fire that required quick action by Kamloops firefighters before it became an inferno. With wildfires burning out of control, with more than 40,000 people evacuated from their homes, with several dozen homes razed and with choking smoke enveloping much of the province, one would think we would all think before acting. The person who tossed the butt should be caught and punished, for the act could have led to a situation as devastating as any other in the province this summer. HOT: The provincial governments of the B.C. Liberals and the B.C. New Democrats for creating a $100 million emergency fund for evacuees and for deciding to continue doling out much-needed funds to those in need every 14 days they are out of their homes. It isn’t partisan politics, it’s common sense compassion.

Ajax now in hands of NDP

t was in a dressing room at the old Ice Box Arena quite a few years ago that the defenceman gearing up next to me was talking about his Ajax shares. He bought a fair number of shares in Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation, the Vancouver-based company that has a 20 per cent stake in the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. KGHM Ajax owns 80 per cent of the project. When the hockey player at my drop-in game bought in, Abacus shares were about 86 cents each. This week, they are trading at about 47 cents apiece. Back then, I told him I thought Ajax would have a tough time getting approved, simply because of its location. With the arrival this week of the NDP government (kept alive by the support of three Green MLAs), some would say the odds of my shinny companion hitting the jackpot with his Abacus shares are longer than my ability to do a crossover at the blue line. Ken Christian, the longtime trustee and councillor now seeking the mayor’s chair in the Sept. 30 byelection, told KTW back in June that Ajax will not be approved under the NDP/Green alliance. His view is being echoed by many others in the community. Earlier this week, Peter Milobar, the city’s former mayor and neophyte B.C. Liberal MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, labelled as “extreme” some views of new mines minister Michelle Mungall, the NDP MLA from Nelson. The fate of Ajax is now in the lap of Mungall and Environment Minister George Heyman as the project needs approval from both

MUSINGS Victoria and Ottawa to proceed. Mungall is perhaps best known for her work on homelessness issues and for her strident opposition to the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort project in the Kootenays. The latter was also opposed by a diverse group of people, including former Kamloops Blazer and Hockey Hall of Fame member Scott Niedermayer. Mungall is certainly concerned about the environment, though neither she, nor the NDP, can be branded as being anti-mining, based on her statements and the party’s past performance. During this year’s provincial election, a coalition of mining associations under the Vote Mining moniker sent miningspecific questions to candidates, including Mungall. She replied that her party supports mining, pointing out the NDP in the 1990s opened six mines, including three of the province’s largest metal mines still operating today: Huckleberry, Kemess South and, yes, Mount Polley, the Cariboo operation at which a massive tailings dam breach occurred 23 months ago. She added that her party “supports pro-mining policies, such as

continuing the flow-through share tax credit and the exploration tax credit, maintaining support for Geoscience BC, removing the PST from electricity used in mining, enhancing the environmentalassessment process, ensuring Mines Act permits are processed quickly, and investing in miningrelated training programs like the training tax credit.” Granted, Mungall was regurgitating New Democrat campaign material, but by doing so, she is on the record with those words. They certainly don’t sound “extreme” in the least. In fact, the most important part would be the vow to enhance the environmental-assessment process, as any Kamloopsian — for or against Ajax — would agree. Yes, Mungall and the NDP oppose Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline and will send BC Hydro’s Site C dam project to the B.C. Utilities Commission for review, but those stances were known well before voters cast ballots on May 9 that led to the NDP/Green government we have today. With Ajax, it is about location, location, location and nothing else, but inflamed rhetoric has Ajax opponents claiming Ajax proponents place greed ahead of health and Ajax proponents claiming Ajax opponents are antimining. Both claims are, of course, ridiculous. The Ajax debate has been interminable and a decision is expected this fall. It cannot come soon enough for everyone with a spot in the debate — and for a certain hockey player whose investment has been standing as still as Steve Staios in his prime. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

WHY IS NO ONE RECOMMENDING MASKS? Editor: I am amazed that with all this smoke and the communication to the general public from so many sources, including the Interior Health Authority, there has been no mention by anyone recommending wearing a surgical mask to protect against the smoke wafting into the Kamloops area from nearby wildfires. I wear one all of the time when the smoke is bad, like it has been for many days in Kamloops over the past two weeks.

I discussed this with a prominent physician, who agreed with me. I suggest there be an effort made to advise the general public to wear surgical masks when the smoke is bad, which is really when you can smell it. They can be purchased at some pharmacies and medical supply companies. The cost is usually less than 10 cents each. Lloyd Clay Kamloops

SPECIAL OLYMPICS LIVE CITY LAWNMOWERS UP TO THEIR NAME FOR TURN A LITTLE LITTER KAMLOOPS VOLUNTEER INTO A MASSIVE MESS Editor: I recently had the opportunity to take part in one of the most rewarding things I have ever done — I volunteered for the Special Olympics. I now know why they call it the Special Olympics because those people, young and old, are special. Even when I was in my prime, I could never run or play soccer or any other sport in the heat we had during the recent Games. Let’s face it, even if it was cool, I couldn’t have done it. I am not a young woman. I am 76 and have a bit or arthritis in

Editor: I went out to Parkcrest Street in Brocklehurst recently to pick up a lot of roadside garbage. The city lawnmower operators got there first. They do not pick up garbage before mowing the roadside grass. So, what was originally only dozens of pieces of garbage were turned into hundreds of shredded items. It looked pretty horrible. As an adopt-a-roader of several years, I can tell you this is not the first time this has happened. I think the city should be more responsible and get the garbage removed before deciding it is OK

But I was able to get a stool at one school and a chair at another to be able to help serve dinner to those special people with two, three or four medals hanging around their necks, which they had won. The rewards I got from being able to serve them a meal and the camaraderie amongst them all was fantastic. If you ever get a chance, volunteer and you will find out for yourself. I will every chance I get. Carole Keyne Kamloops

to mow. I cannot be expected to clean up a worse mess because staff just cuts through the garbage. I have complained several times, but my pleas falls on deaf ears. I think the city’s lawnmower operators are too lazy to pick up something before mowing over it. Not only does the garbage get chopped into hundreds of smaller pieces, but it looks really bad to those who use roads I have adopted to keep clean. I would like to see this practice changed.

Many evacuees forced to leave their homes in Williams Lake are making the most of temporary lodging at the Tk’emlups Indian Band’s Powwow Grounds. “How do you explain being treated like a king?” asked Warren Weseen, an evacuee from Williams Lake who has been thrilled with the work of volunteers at the powwow site. “It is just fabulous. People are always coming around, seeing how you’re doing. The food — it’s very good.” An estimated 500 evacuees are living in the temporary campground at the foot of Mount Paul, taking advantage of food and water being supplied at no cost. “We’ve just been looking at it as a vacation,” said Colleen Laughlin, another

He arrived in Kamloops last weekend and is making the most of his time at the powwow grounds. “If you look at it like a holiday, then it is,” he said. “It isn’t what it is, but it’s a way to feel not so down.” Williams Lake evacuee Christine Walsh said she has been blown away by the generosity of volunteers and Kamloops business-

es providing for those displaced by wildfire. Walsh said a local RV repair company showed up at the powwow ground and completed a $250 repair on her trailer for free. “It’s unreal,” she said. “I don’t know how to thank everyone enough.” But, Walsh said, she is hoping to be able to return home at some point in the near future. “I’m hoping to be gone soon,” she said. “But last night I heard the fire is only 10 per cent contained.” Weseen said he’s happy to wait the fire out in Kamloops. “There should be some way we can Silver &said.

From a bid for a council seat to an eye on mayor’s chair ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After declaring his intention to run for a seat on Kamloops city council earlier this month, Todd Mcleod has decided to set his sights higher. The air-ambulance paramedic told KTW he now intends to run for mayor after receiving more interest and support than he expected. “People I don’t know seem to like my platform and like what I’m saying,” he said. Mcleod, a Westsyde resident, wants to fill what he sees as a leadership void at city hall. “I would keep them in line making firm decisions, no wishywashy decisions back and forth,” he said,

citing as an example the city’s decision to continue negotiating a community benefit agreement with Ajax mine proponent KGHM and sending staff to working group meetings on the mine’s environmental application after voting to oppose the project. “Then you get the idea that it’s no, but we can still negotiate if a deal does go through,” he said. Mcleod said he also wants to see council stand by its original decisions, rather than flip-flopping on votes, as it did last year when it debated whether to allow B.C. wine sales at the Sahali Save-On Foods store. “It doesn’t seem to show any confidence

within council of themselves,” he said. Mcleod also wants the city to set up a program to crack down on illegal secondary suites, with a period of amnesty and fee breaks during which current illegal suite owners could come forward and get their properties properly permitted, followed by a crackdown by bylaws. Increased enforce-

ment for untidy properties would also be on his radar. There is also personal advantage as well to running for the mayor’s position. As a paramedic, Mcleod spends two weeks at a time out of the province serving First Nations communities in Manitoba, which he said could prove disruptive to council duties. The mayoralty is a full-time job and, if he is elected, Mcleod will resign as a paramedic. Mcleod is the fourth candidate in the running to replace former mayor-turned MLA Peter Milobar. Also in the race are Ken Christian, Cindy Ross Friedman and Reo Rocheleau.

Kamloops byelection timeline Candidates in the Sept. 30 byelection to replace Mayor Peter Milobar (resigned after being elected MLA) and councillors Ken Christian (resigned to run for mayor) and Marg Spina (resigned to seek cancer treatment) can formally become nominees as of Aug. 15 and will have until Aug. 25 to declare their intent to run. Nomination packages will be available as of Aug. 4 at city hall, at Victoria Street and First Avenue downtown. Candidates must be Canadian citizens of at least 18 years of age who have lived in B.C. for at least six months on the day their nomination papers are filed. Candidates are not required to live in Kamloops or own property in the city.

A: Some insurance companies may deny you a new insurance policy for a property located 50 km or less from an active wildfire. This ‘turn down’ is similar to insurers denying health insurance coverage for certain existing health issues. A further complication may arise if your lender is unwilling to release mortgage funds for an uninsured property. It is a good idea to have your new property’s insurance policy secured 30 days ahead of the Completion Date.

CITY TO CORRECT CHAMBER ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops will send a “polite correction” to the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce in regard to a letter the organization sent to the federal and provincial governments concerning the proposed Ajax mine. At council’s Tuesday meeting, Coun. Donovan Cavers said he is concerned the letter contains misleading information about Ajax’s potential benefits to Kamloops — specifically that the mine could create 10,000 jobs. “I’ve never heard that number before. I don’t know where it came from, if it was a typo,” he said. CAO David Trawin said staff had reached out to the chamber about the number and was told it came from KGHM, the company behind the project. The chamber has not made the letter public, but provided a copy to councillors. While councillors debated whether to send a letter to Ottawa and Victoria, they opted to first “send a letter of polite correction,” as Coun.

Tina Lange put it, to the chamber. But Joshua Knaack, first vicepresident of the chamber’s board of directors, said he believes council misunderstood the letter. “I don’t think it gave the impression that Ajax would have 10,000 direct employees,” he said. Instead, the portion of the letter that alarmed Cavers stated the mine would have spin-off benefits or create business for about 10,000 people. “It’s talking about the ripple effect on other businesses that would be impacted as a result of Ajax, all the various supports and support businesses that obviously work with the mining sector, and in that regard, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch,” Knaack said. “If you look at how many different businesses are impacted by New Gold or Highland Valley or something along those lines, that’s the number.” Knaack said the chamber’s letter is supportive of Ajax, as long as KGHM successfully completes the environmental-assessment process, a stance the chamber has held for several years.

Dormant project to proceed The long-dormant Mission Hills project has taken an early step toward restarting. Kamloops city council has agreed to issue a development permit that will allow the owners of the project overlooking the Summit connector, now dubbed Hudson’s Bay Landing, to finish a five-storey building that has remained partially built for years. The permit also allows for the construction of an additional building, with 89 units spread between the two structures. “We’re all excited to

see this,” said development and engineering services director Marvin Kwiatkowski. In earlier interviews, Kwiatkowski told KTW assessments of the existing building shell have found it was structurally sound, though some installed windows will need to be replaced. • Upgrading Kamloops’ downtown parkades will cost less than anticipated. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said it will cost about $45,000 to

upgrade the parkades on Lansdowne and Seymour streets, down from the $220,000 originally estimated. Costs include replacing all the doors in both structures with steel security doors with windows, painting and new signs. The work will be paid for out of a reserve fund which collects surplus funds from both parkades. Once work is completed, Duckworth said the city will be reviewing rates charged at the parkades, which he said have not risen in quite some time.

NATIONAL NEWS WILDFIRES

Banff’s Sunshine Village clearing out guests as crews battle blaze LAUREN KRUGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A popular Rocky Mountain resort in Banff National Park was preparing Thursday to move out its guests to make way for crews fighting a wildfire raging in the nearby backcountry. Sunshine Village, a ski hill that also offers summer hiking on the Alberta-B.C. boundary, was about 2 1/2 kilometres from the flames, but was not under threat. However, about 150 people staying at Sunshine’s hotel were being told they would have to leave by midday Friday, said resort spokeswoman Kendra Scurfield. Parks Canada incident

commander Rick Kubian said the property was being set up as a staging area for firefighters because it provides better access to the Verdant Creek fire, which covered 25 to 30 square kilometres in Kootenay National Park and Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in B.C. That means the area will be busy with heavy equipment and helicopters. The air could also become more smoky. “It’s a much closer location and we’ll be able to have our crews and equipment working from around the Sunshine area,’’ Kubian said. “It’s just much safer to have that happen without visitors and guests in the area.’’ There were 75 people and

six helicopters fighting the fire on Thursday as it spread into a remote and rugged area about 25 kilometres from the town of Banff. Kubian said the fire itself was not posing any immediate risk to guests at Sunshine, but Parks Canada asked the resort to clear guests with enough notice so that they could leave in an orderly fashion. “It’s not panicked. It’s not in a hurry,’’ he said. Scurfield said the hotel’s 84 rooms were fully booked and Sunshine was working to find alternative accommodations in the area. The hotel’s website said it expected the closure to last two to five days. “Our No. 1 priority is making sure that they are able

to contain the fire and work together with Parks Canada to do so.’’ The resort understands why firefighters need to use it as a staging area, said Scurfield. “They’ve got very steep mountains, very narrow valleys, and it’s been hard to put firefighters on the ground, so that has been a challenge in fighting it.’’ Hiking trails in Sunshine Meadows have not been damaged and there is no threat to buildings at the resort, which includes restaurants and a day lodge in addition to the hotel. “Parks has done a great job at preventing the fire from spreading into our area. They fought hard to prevent that.’’

Trudeau says no issues raised to prevent Payette from becoming Governor General JORDAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the secretive process used to select the next Governor General for the first time on Thursday, saying that nothing came

up during the vetting of Julie Payette that he saw as a stumbling block to her appointment. Political appointees are normally run through a thorough vetting process designed to root out personal history that

could be damaging for the candidate and government should they become public. Depending on what is found, the government may move on to another candidate. Trudeau said that Payette went through the same check as

other high-profile political appointees. “The vetting process is deep and extensive and raised absolutely no issues that would prevent her from being Governor General. She will make an extraordinary Governor General,’’ Trudeau said at an event in Barrie, Ont. He didn’t say if the check turned up two incidents revealed this week: a dismissed charge of seconddegree assault when she lived in Maryland in 2011 — Payette has called the assault charge “unfounded’’, noting that she was “immediately cleared’’ — and a fatal car accident in which Payette was not found at fault. Nor did he say if he talked with Payette about either incident. “Obviously, our heart goes out to the family affected by this tragic accident. It was a terrible and tragic thing and we know that Mme. Payette actually personally reached out to share her condolences with the family subsequent to the accident,’’ Trudeau said. Trudeau said his

discussions with Payette revolved around her vision for the country and what she would do in the role of Governor General. Payette is one of Canada’s most notable astronauts and public speakers, has received numerous accolades for her achievements, and speaks six languages. She will succeed Gov. Gen. David Johnston when the outgoing viceregal retires in the fall. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said he had full trust in Payette, and backed Trudeau’s decision to appoint her. But he added the prime minister should answers questions about the appointment process to help Canadians understand what went into his decision. Johnston’s name had been put forward by a committee struck by former prime minister Stephen Harper. Trudeau decided to appoint Payette without the same expert committee, so how her name came up remains unclear.

Horgan to hike disability and assistance rates THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier John B.C. News Horgan is boosting monthly disability and income assistance rates by $100 each. He said the change will occur in about two months and represents the first increase in a decade for welfare rates. Horgan said the change is just the beginning as his new NDP government looks toward introducing a poverty-reduction plan for the province. He said B.C. will go from last to third place in the country when it comes to income assistance rates. The previous Liberal government froze that rate for 10 years but promised an increase in last month’s revamped throne speech, which incorporated a number of key pledges from the NDP and Green election platforms. The New Democrats took office this week with a minority of seats in the legislature but were buoyed by the support of the Green party, which held the balance of power after the May 9 election.

BRIEFS

Evacuations after blaze near Penticton PENTICTON — Residents of a rural area on the outskirts of Penticton on Thursday joined the more than 45,000 people in British Columbia who have fled their homes due to fast-moving fires. The blaze broke out around 9 a.m. in the West Bench suburb and first responders swiftly conducted evacuations of homes threatened by the flames, said Peter Weeber, chief administrative officer for the city. “There were a couple homes impacted, just roofs at this point, we haven’t lost any structures from what I understand,’’ said Weeber. He said a helicopter was assisting local and regional fire crews to extinguish the flames. Officials did not yet have an exact number of residents who had been forced to flee, but Mark Woods of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen said at least two or three streets were evacuated. Cameron Baughen, also with the district, said once officials receive more information from first responders, they will decide whether to issue a broader evacuation order or alert. “It’s an interface fire, which is, for us, very concerning because it then affects homes,’’ he said.

Vancouver port to lead whale study VANCOUVER — A program led by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority will examine how endangered southern resident killer whales respond to slower vessel speeds and reduced underwater noise in a key summer feeding area off southern British Columbia. The port authority said 54 marine shipping companies have signed up to take part in the voluntary study between August and October in Haro Strait, the channel separating Vancouver Island from the San Juan Islands in Washington state. The authority said in a news release that the ships represent a significant proportion of the large commercial vessels moving through Haro Strait. During the research trial, vessel operators will be asked to travel over underwater listening stations at a speed of 11 knots, slower than the typical operating speeds, while the stations also monitor for the presence of whales.

FAITH

The power of pronouns in a life about ‘y’all’

hen you study a new language, you begin to become more aware of your own language and culture. While I have no natural gifts for second languages, I was determined as a college student to broaden my horizons and enrolled in a series of French classes. I was surprised to learn almost immediately that French has different pronouns for informal and formal situations (“tu” and “vous”, respectively). English by comparison has flattened this difference, using the pronoun “you” for both occasions. When I later enrolled in biblical Greek (one of the more challenging requirements of my seminary training),

STEVE FILYK

You gotta have

FAITH

I made further discoveries about language and culture. I was reminded that the “you” in English can refer to both individuals and groups (“you are smart” and “you are an incredible team,” respectively). And I became aware I had this particular habit, when reading the Bible, to almost always interpret each “you” as singular. It was my own personal default that

flowed from a belief that all the Bible’s teaching was personally directed, a sort of “love letter” from Jesus. When I parsed the Greek, however, I found to my great surprise that those “you’s” were often plural. Biblical Greek showed me that this “love letter” wasn’t written to me all by myself, but to me along with everyone else. Those who are attentive readers can avoid these misinterpretations; the context will remind you that much of the Bible’s teaching is directed at a community. But a misreading is sometimes hard to avoid, especially when an individual verse is pulled out of context. With its dual usage for the pronoun “you,” the English language doesn’t provide any

needed redirection. But there is help. Check out the Texas Bible online. It safeguards English readers against a misreading of the Bible by substituting the southern “y’all” for the plural “you” in all those situations that demand it. Take a look at this verse from Paul and Timothy’s letter to the Philippians: “Therefore, my beloved, as y’all have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out y’all’s own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in y’all, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12-13 ESV with Texas Bible plug-in). A friend told me Old English accomplishes the same with the pronoun “ye.”

While such a throwback may be harder to read (I can only understand half of it), saying it out loud with a Scottish brogue does warm my cool Presbyterian heart: “See, than, beloved, e’en as ye hae aye obey’t no in my presence alane, but noo muckle mair when I am awa, work ye oot yere ain salvation wi’ fear an trim’lin. For God it is wha is workin in ye, baith the ettlin and the inward do in conform to his gude pleasur.” (Philippians 2:1213 “Braid Scots New Testament” by W. Wye Smith). Take your pick, but either version makes it loud and clear that the biblical passage is addressed to a community. This in turn implies that faith and spirituality is a group project.

These cues offer great help to a guy like me, who, after seven years with kids, still climbs into the front seat of the car and buckles up before realizing that there are two youngsters who need his assistance getting in. Any tool that reminds me that life is not all about me, but is about the God above me and the people around me, is something I need. Rev. Steve Filyk is the new minister at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and a new arrival to Kamloops. Along with wife, Amy, and two daughters, he is enjoying all the sunshine and opportunities for outdoor recreation. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is located in South Kamloops, at 1136 Sixth Ave.

ny notion the Vernon Tigers were going to go quickly and quietly in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final was disspelled on Wednesday. The Tigers scored four firstperiod goals, held Kamloops off the scoreboard for more than half the game and continually got under the skin of their rivals in rolling to a 12-2 romp over the Venom before close to 450 fans at Kal Tire Place. The best-of-five championship series is tied at one game apiece and the Tigers’ snapped the Venom’s 14-game winning streak. Game 3 is on Friday at Memorial Arena in Kamloops, with Game 4 returning to Vernon on Sunday. Both games are 7:30 p.m. starts. “We had to forget about the game we played in Kamloops (11-6 series-opening loss),” said Tigers’ forward Conor Webb, who paced the Vernon offence with three of the team’s first five goals and set up four others, and who took a high stick to the throat in the final 30 seconds, leading the referees to run down the clock as he lay prone on the floor. “We knew what we had to do from the beginning and thought we executed right off the bat.” Vernon led 4-0 after one period, held Kamloops scoreless for 34 minutes and 30 seconds and extended the lead to 9-1 after 40 minutes.

Through the first two periods, the Venom and Tigers were each whistled for four minor penalties, with a 10-minute misconduct given to Kamloops’ Monty Chisholm late in the second period. “I’m just hoping we find some discipline,” Kamloops head coach Doug Clark said. “If we don’t, this series is going to be over in a hurry.” The Tigers scored three times with the man advantage in front of Darnell Hauca, who was brilliant in the Tigers’ net, finishing with 42 saves. Hauca got the hook in Game 1 after Vernon fell behind 5-1 in the opening period. “Last game, we just didn’t play as a team in the first period and we kind of got down on ourselves,” Hauca said. “Me being pulled was just to bring the team back in. It was the right move. Tonight, we played as a team and we played our best game of the season, for sure.” Hauca was at his best midway through the second, with his team up 5-0 and both sides playing four-

Brady Georget and the Kamloops Venom are looking in the mirror and seeing an indisciplined team. The hometown Vernon Tigers scored four power-play goals in a 12-2 shellacking of the Venom on Wednesday, two nights after Kamloops head coach Doug Clark asked his team to go easy on the penalties. The Venom’s coaching staff didn’t exactly lead by example on Wednesday, becoming involved in a verbal altercation with the Tigers’ coaches after the second period.

Hauca, in fact, had Pauwels’ number all night as the Kamloops forward was foiled on three clearcut breakaways. Jordy Barr also scored three times for Vernon, Eric Reid and Jake Pelletier had two each and

singles went to Brett Olsen and Chase Wirth. Riley Peterson scored the Venom’s first goal on the team’s 26th shot while Quinn Williamson added the other goal. Matt Hans finished with 35 saves in the Kamloops goal. “I thought Vernon came out firing and they outworked us,” Clark said. “They were the smarter team tonight and got what they deserved. We were short bodies

tonight and just trying to survive tonight without injuries or suspensions. We hope we did that and Friday night will be another game.” The officials were quick to step in and stop a heated discussion between both teams’ coaching staffs at the end of the second period. The two rivals have split their six regular and post-season meetings.

Eight straight losses have the Kamloops RiverDogs in need of a confidence boost before the BC Baseball College Prep League playoffs. Kamloops, in its final weekend of league action, will play a pair of doubleheaders — against the hometown West Kelowna D Backs on Saturday and versus the Cloverdale Nationals in the Tournament Capital on Sunday. “We’ve been playing good teams and a couple games didn’t go our way,” said Rhys McKenzie, who will graduate from the midget ranks after this season. “Lately, our bats haven’t been as active as earlier in the year. We’ll try and turn that around.” Six of the Dogs’ eight consecutive losses were to teams ranked among the top three in the league — two each to Cloverdale (34-2), Chilliwack (25-13) and Richmond (22-13). The other two defeats came against the Tri-City Indians (14-22). “We’re just in that area of our schedule where we’re facing really good teams and being tested,” RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler said. “Now, it’s our final weekend of league play. We’re at the stage where there is nothing left to teach. We’re just refining things and we want to be playing at a good, consistent level heading into playoffs.” The RiverDogs have already qualified for Round 1 of the post-season, in which four best-of-three series will decide which teams advance to the provincial championship tournament, to be held in Chilliwack on Aug. 5 and Aug. 6. Kamloops heads into this weekend ranked sixth in the league and slotted in to play No. 3-ranked Richmond in the playoffs, but the RiverDogs are within striking distance of fifth-place Nanaimo (16-22), which has two

regular-season games remaining. The RiverDogs have a great opportunity to break their losing skid on Saturday. West Kelowna (5-27) is in the league basement and will be the only team that misses the playoffs. “When you play that last-place team, you don’t want to lower yourself to their level, which can happen,” Wandler said. “Games get sloppy and you can get sloppy.” Cloverdale presents a much stiffer challenge, having shredded the competition this season, racking up 279 runs and allowing 88 in 36 games. Wandler suggested some of the Nationals don’t belong in the College Prep League. “They have players that should probably be playing in the premier league,” he said. “For whatever reason, they’re playing a tier down. They have guys that are potentially playing for the Canadian junior national team, kids throwing mid- to high-80s, kids that could be playing a tier up.” The Nationals and RiverDogs will square off at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the Canada Games Field on Sunday, marking the last time Kamloops will play at home in 2017. Cloverdale knocked off Kamloops in Round 1 of the playoffs last year. McKenzie was around in 2015, when the RiverDogs fell one win short of the B.C. title. He would like to get back to the big dance this year. “For us, the game doesn’t change,” McKenzie said. “The opponent doesn’t really matter, as long as we do our job. “We’re hoping to pick it up before provincials.”

Another sports event cancelled been asking dozens and dozens of people to not volunteer at centres and participate with us for the entire day.” The scaled-back summer session of the Legacy Performance Games would have included an ITF wheelchair tennis event, wheelchair rugby and beach volleyball, requiring a pool of about 30 volunteers. “It’s a great tournament for us,” Olthuis said. “It’ll be tough not having the camaraderie of the weekend.” Cancelling the event does not hurt the KSC financially, said Olthuis, who is looking forward to the spring Legacy Games next April. Organizers are expecting an Australian high school rugby team to attend the 2018 spring session, building on the momentum that particular sport gained at the 2017 spring Games. The goal is to see about 50 rugby teams flock to the River City for the Legacy event, which had 23 squads in action this year. Along with the help of the Kamloops Rugby Club, the plan is to rediscover the popularity RugbyFest once had in Kamloops. “Cancelling this weekend is what’s best for the city,” Olthuis said.

The 2017 Legacy Performance Summer Games, which were scheduled for this weekend, have been cancelled. Kamloops Sports Council sport and games co-ordinator Duncan Olthuis said his crew does not want to put a strain on resources that may help B.C. wildfire evacuees taking refuge in the Tournament Capital. “The big one would be St. John Ambulance,” Olthuis said. “We didn’t want to put a strain on them. They’re at evacuee centres. We also had a room block booked at DoubleTree. It freed that up for evacuees.” Kamloops Marathon organizers also nixed their event, which was scheduled for Sunday. “We didn’t want to risk people hurting themselves by participating or spending the entire day outside,” said race organizer Christopher Seguin, vice-president of advancement at Thompson Rivers University. “And the draw upon resources, like police shutting down roads and people who would be working on the evacuation, the volunteer base . . .

Trio atop British Open after Day 1 DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTHPORT, England — Two great bunker shots by Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka — one for par, one for eagle — led to a 5-under 65 for each of them in the opening round of the British Open. Matt Kuchar rounds out the American threesome that finished Day 1 tied for the lead at 5-under. Koepka, with no competition and very little golf since winning the U.S. Open last month, was in a pot bunker short of the green on the par-5 17th when he blasted out and watched it roll into the cup for an eagle that allowed him to share the lead with Spieth among the early starters Thursday at Royal Birkdale. Spieth had a bogey-free round and it required great bunker shots, even by his standards, to keep it that way. His shot out of the rough barely rolled into a pot bunker to the right of the 16th green, leaving the ball on a slight slope near the back edge. “This is dangerous,’’ he said to his caddie. He aimed to the right of the hole to avoid it going off the green on the other side and into another bunker and it came off perfectly about 10 feet away. “That was awesome,’’ were his next words to his caddie. He made the par putt — Spieth made a lot of putts on Thursday — picked up a two-putt birdie on the 17th and narrowly missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the last. It was Spieth’s best start in a major since he opened with a 66 at the Masters a year ago.

“I couldn’t have done much better today,’’ he said. Austin Connelly was the top Canadian after Thursday’s play, sitting just two strokes back of the leaders with an opening round of 3 under. Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford opened at 1 over. Royal Birkdale was much more kind than it was nine years ago in raging wind and rain. The 146th Open began in cool temperatures, a light rain and a strong wind. Mark O’Meara, a winner at Royal Birkdale in 1998 who is playing in his last British Open, hit the opening tee shot. And then he hit another one. O’Meara’s first shot was lost in the gorse. He made a quadruple-bogey 8 and was on his way to an 81. But it wasn’t long before the wind off the Irish Sea pushed along the rain clouds and led to sunshine in the afternoon. The wind remained strong. The scores were largely good. Koepka and Spieth led the way, with Ian Poulter, Justin Thomas and Richard Bland in at 67. It was a businesslike day in more ways than one for Thomas, who wore a tie loosely draped around his neck and a cardigan sweater. He wasn’t all about making a fashion statement. Thomas, who shot a 63 in the third round of the U.S. Open, made eagle on the 17th hole to hang around the early leaders. Hideki Matsuyama was among those at 68.

Butt-whipping talk sounds like football season Defensive assistant coach Jeff Hunter oversees linemen drills at Kamloops Broncos’ training camp on Tuesday. The regular season begins next weekend, with the Broncos playing host to the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack on July 29.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos have worked their tails off at main camp, which began last Monday and ends on Friday at Hillside Stadium. Their rear ends are now the primary targets of the Valley Huskers, who will be at Hillside Stadium for Week 1 of the B.C. Football Conference season on July 29. “If you want to watch some hard smack-mouth football, make the drive up to Kamloops and watch us kick their butt,” Huskers’ defensive lineman Travis Dietrich told the Chilliwack Progress earlier this week. It was anything but malicious, just a sign football season is inching closer, but Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka can hear the Huskers loud and clear. “They feel that a game against us is a winnable game for them and they want to get the season off to a good start,” Yamaoka said. “If a little bit of smack-talking is what you need to help you out, that’s great. I don’t think our guys are going to back down from the challenge at all.” If Valley has been paying

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

attention to Kamloops’ preseason, it may be devising a game plan that focuses on victimizing the Broncos’ offensive and defensive lines. The hogs are lacking beef. “We’re definitely not going to be a big team this year,” Yamaoka said. “We’re going to have to play on athleticism a little more, as opposed to size, when it comes

to the trenches, and we’re going to have to scheme better as coaches.” The Broncos were aiming to recruit a few more players after spring camp and they did, but it seems holes remain on the offensive and defensive lines. “We’ve had a few more guys show up that are a little unexpected,” Yamaoka said. “We like

having numbers and you never know how they’re going to contribute, but we’re still a little short-handed in certain spots.” Yamaoka is pleased with how camp went — making special mention of implementing the offence with a young group — and looking forward to next week, when preparation for the home opener begins in earnest.

“Until now, it’s been trying to get down what we want to do,” Yamaoka said. “Now we prepare to play a football game and there will be guys fighting to put a jersey on Saturday night.” Kamloops posted a 2-8 record last season, with both its wins coming against Valley in a sweep of the regular-season series. The Huskers finished 0-10 in 2016, but Dietrich was confident enough in his teammates, playing under new head coach Bob Reist, to drop a bulletin-board quote less than two weeks shy of kickoff. “As coaches, you definitely want to use it,” Yamaoka said. “Whatever you can use to fuel a bit of fire under your players, but it wasn’t malicious by any stretch. “I’m sure one of our guys will say, ‘Hey, we’re going to kick their butts.’” Ass-whipping talk will end next weekend with one team looking a donkey.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Vagn Kristensen Trarup

Beryle Elaine McCurrach (nee Boardman) February 20, 1953 - July 12, 2017

June 17, 1929 – July 15, 2017 It is with our deepest regrets we announce that on Saturday, July 15, 2017, Vagn Trarup went to join his son Kaj and his favourite pup Murphy fishing at the lake. Vagn was one of seventeen children born to Mads and Olga Trarup in Lem, Denmark. He married Ingrid in 1951 and in 1957 they decided to immigrate to Canada with their children Anni, Pete and Kaj. He worked at several jobs in Vancouver, before moving the family to Wells, where he became a driller blaster in the mine. After working there, the family went to Britannia Beach, then Merritt to work at Craigmont Mine. Dan was born in Merritt. Vagn worked on many of the power lines in BC over the years. The family moved to Kamloops in 1963, where they had Cindy. He had a strong work ethic which he passed onto his children. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and prospecting were his passions. He was a child at heart and refused to grow up, not even at the end of his very full and happy life. He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years Ingrid, children Anni (Ian), Peter (Pam), Dan (Yvonne) and Cindy (Collin) as well as his beloved grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He will be deeply missed every day, but especially every Christmas Eve and every June, when he would whistle Happy Birthday to remind us that his birthday was near. We invite all who read this and remember him fondly to please say skål for him one last time and to remember his humour and his kindness, as we always will. No flowers by request, we would rather a donation be made in his name to The Alzheimer’s Society of Canada. Condolences can be sent to vagntrarupmemorial@gmail.com.

Every Friday in KTW!

Born in Lethbridge, AB in 1953, Beryle tagged along with her family to Richmond, BC in 1959. She met the love of her life in 1973 and moved to Kamloops in 1976 where their 40th Wedding Anniversary was celebrated last year. Beryle’s great joy was her family. She gave us much love and support. She especially liked being involved with the younger generation as she did as a Guide leader. The young ones brought her imaginative ideas out which led to many fun projects. Blessed with a creative aptitude and a love of making things for others let Beryle’s generous spirit shine. Our lives were made better by knowing her. Sincere thanks to all of Beryle’s medical practitioners for their kind support, to the staff at Gemstone who added quality, comfort and humour to Beryle’s life in her last year and to the Alzheimer Society of BC for their support helping families travel down this difficult road. Special thanks to Donna Anderson in Manitoba for a lifetime of friendship and enjoyable correspondence. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. There will be a private family service at a later date.

OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Serafino “Jumba” Bartella With his family by his side, Serafino “Jumba” Bartella passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital on July 14, 2017. Serafino was born on October 16, 1927 in Marano Marchesato, Cosenza, Italy. In 1952, he made the long journey to Canada, working in many small towns finally settling in the Kamloops area with his wife Iolanda. Serafino is survived by his wife of 59 years, his three sons Francesco (Rosalynn), Carmelo (Joanne), Robert and nine grandchildren Jennifer, Nicole, Cassandra, Mark, Kiely, Justin, Madison, Denae and Hayley. He also leaves behind two sisters Ada and Girda from Toronto and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. He is now happily reunited with his family including his sister Julia who he was close with, for many years. Serafino sponsored his five sisters to join him in Canada. This was all about looking after his family in his new country. His dedication to his family and close friends was second to none. He was compassionate, caring and always had a story and smile to share along with a glass of wine. He loved life and all living things. He retired from CN railways after 33 years of service and made many friends along the way. “Jumba” as he was affectionally known by his grandchildren, was always there for them. His eyes

would light up when they came to visit. His family was the most important thing in his life. He was an avid gardner and excellent winemaker. He loved hunting, fishing and wood carving. He always welcomed visitors to his home with open arms. One thing for sure is you would never leave the Bartella home hungry. He was an avid Kamloops Blazer for many years. The family would like to express their gratitude to the nurses and care aides at Royal Inland Hospital over the past year. Public visitation will take place in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Thursday, July 20, 2017 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, 513 Seymour Street. The Reverend Father Paul Simms will Celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Rd., on Friday, July 21, 2017 at 10:00 am. Entombment will follow at the Evergreen Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, should family and friends desire, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

Summer theatre troupe improvises amid smoky conditions You just “don’t know

what’s going to happen with the weather.

he Rivertown Players arrived at the Westsyde Neighbourhood Centre on Tuesday morning to alarms. “Beeee-ooo, beeeeooo, beeee-ooo,” echoed throughout the empty hallways and into the parking lot just off Westsyde Road. Unlocking the front doors of the former elementary school without a security code is among hurdles the summer children’s theatre troupe has overcome since moving indoors due to smoky skies caused by B.C. wildfires. Twenty-year-old Ashley Hiibner makes up one third of this year’s Rivertown Players trio. The Players’ season kicked off on Canada Day and Hiibner said half of the shows so far have been performed outside, atypical for the troupe that rotates through city parks each summer. “It’s almost more indoors now . . . .” Hiibner said. “You just don’t know what’s going to happen with the weather.” When KTW visited the Players before a morning show on Tuesday, families filtered inside for an anticipated 11 a.m. performance. Another smokerelated kink meant

”

— ASHLEY HIIBNER, Rivertown Players member

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Jeffery Daniels, Avery Reid and Ashley Hiibner make up this year’s Rivertown Players theatre troupe. While the group typically rotates through city parks during summer months, it has performed about half of its shows indoors this year due to smoky conditions.

bumping the show to 11:30 a.m. due to limitations accessing the building. Some people didn’t get the message, but the kids didn’t mind. “Let’s go outside and play in the park,” one woman said, eliciting an immediate response from youngsters. “Woohoo!” Half an hour behind their regular schedule, KTW spoke with the Players while they erected a tent and homemade

set and organized props in the Westsyde Neighbourhood Centre gymnasium. The room is a far cry from the green spaces in which the Players usually perform, with artificial lighting and lacking the environment that usually encourages kids to interject during shows. “Let’s play some basketball and not scratch the floor with a tent,” joked Jeffery Daniels, 19, another member of the troupe.

Other challenges have included adapting to performing indoors. The gym, for example, echoes and the Players don’t need to project their voices. The shows typically run Tuesdays through Saturdays, but one show was cancelled this year due, in part, to the smoky conditions. Funded through Kamloops Arts Council, Hiibner and Daniels are studying theatre at Thompson Rivers

University and their third counterpart, 20-year-old Avery Reid, is pursuing acting at Concordia University in Montreal. Each member writes their own show. Reid’s show, entitled Blastoff Beaver, was slotted for Tuesday morning. It tells the tale of a beaver who wants to go to space. After told only dogs and monkeys make the trek, the beaver teams up with Canadian space heavyweights Chris Hadfield,

Julie Payette and the Canadarm to build a spaceship and head for the moon. Meanwhile, Hiibner’s show is called Molly and Sandford’s Great Canadian Adventure. The story sees animals travel across the country to celebrate Canada’s 150. Finally, Daniels’ story, The Big Book of Magical Paintings, features a child named Timothy who looks to create artwork for a community gallery

and finds inspiration from a book after being teleported inside. It’s those stories that have drawn crowds to watch the Players, no matter the air quality. “Kids are still coming out. In fact, I think we’re almost having bigger audiences because people don’t know what to do with their kids and they’re looking for stuff to inside,” Reid said. “We had an audience last week and it was like 67 people.” Kamloops Arts Council executive director Kathy Sinclair told KTW they are keeping an eye on the air quality and noted the shows are a great way to keep kids out of the smoke, for residents and evacuees alike. The stories rotate time slots and new shows will be presented in August. For up-to-date locations on where the Rivertown Players will be performing each week, find the group on Facebook.

hen the Faddens fled from the Fort McMurray fire last year, Kamloops was music to their ears. Twin teenagers Calder and Cooper Fadden took part in the annual Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) while staying with their grandmother. “We came to this camp last year and another different camp for sports,” Calder Fadden told KTW. It was their first time participating in the annual summer camp at Kamloops School of the Arts and the boys returned to a smoky River City this year, with thousands more fleeing to Kamloops — just as the Faddens had done last year — due to wildfires burning in the province. “It’s a little bit close to home, but we made it out,” Calder Fadden said. The 15-year-olds will take advantage of their brotherly bond on stage for one night only on July 27, when they will perform in KISSM’s Little Shop of Horrors. The classic tale tells the story of a flower shop worker named Seymour, who names an unusual plant after his co-worker crush, Audrey. The plant grows and eats his love interest’s boyfriend, before its taste for human flesh intensifies thus requiring further feeding. The Fadden brothers are responsible for

LOCAL AUTHOR

Cooperman’s passion for area evident in Everything Shuswap CAM FORTEMS

once opined to the perpetually enthusiastic Jim Cooperman, author of Everything Shuswap, he should move away — the place was ruined. But there’s no separating Cooperman — who is variously described in Kamloops newspaper stories as “environmentalist” or “conservationist” by reporters seeking his opinion on topics from parks to forestry to development and nature — from the place he’s lived for nearly 50 years. And his passion for the place is evident in his just released book, what he calls a “geographic handbook.” The photos, some historical and many landscape shots, feature prominently in the book published by Shuswap Press. This is a beautiful book to look at, richly illustrated with maps, photos and historical artwork. It roughly covers ecology, geography, its Secwepemc people and the history of discovery and settlement by Europeans. The author explains in his introduction that it’s a collection of columns he has written for the Salmon Arm Observer, all done with a calculated eye to one day publishing this book. It’s an easy book to put on a

REIEW bedside table or end table in the living room to pick up, open a page and learn. It’s part picturebook and encyclopedia. My bias is toward history — and Everything Shuswap does not disappoint. There are vignettes about its characters that shaped the place, the mountain men, politicians, surveyors and farmers. When I spoke briefly to Cooperman recently, I told him the Shuswap’s most prominent feature to me — its anythinggoes development that’s rampaged across lakeshores and hillsides — is missing from the

book. Cooperman chooses to focus on the wilderness, history, geology and ecology, but he’s hardly blind to its problems. He’s long been the hornet at the developer’s lakeside barbecue. He most prominently helped organize national opposition more than a decade ago to a major resort development at the former Cottonwoods Campground beside the mouth of the Adams River and its famed sockeye run. Cooperman moved to the area in 1969 from the United States and has been a prominent environmentalist and critic of forestry practices in B.C. through the ensuing decades. There is no ignoring the bigger picture in the Shuswap. The tourism, environmental problems and lakeside development that define the region will be featured, as noted in the book’s introduction, in a subsequent volume: This is the first of three planned. For now, let’s focus on the Shuswap’s rich geography and history. The author and Shuswap Press have set a high bar with the first volume. Everything Shuswap is available for purchase in Kamloops at The Art We Are, The Book Place, Kamloops Art Gallery Gift Shop, the Smorgasbord, Chapters and True North.

Local artist looks to Mother Nature for inspiration ‘I do my best creating in my backyard’

s we have seen this week, Mother Nature can be terribly beautiful at times. Kamloops artist Michelle Gill focuses her creative eye on the natural beauty of our local landscape, specifically trees. Gill finds inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounds us — each branch, fallen log or collection of sticks on the ground. “Mother Nature has always impressed me with her grandeur. My favourite thing to do is beach/nature shopping, finding treasures and dreaming up ways to use it,” Gill said. “There is so much beauty surrounding us, and so many ways to soak it up.” Gill doesn’t have to go far to find inspiration. Sometimes it can be close at hand. “I do my best creating in my backyard with my feet in the grass, the sunshine on my face, listening to the birds chirping and swatting at the bugs,” Gill said. She has a childlike quality, common among artists, because she likes to play. It is no surprise she loves children. “My education background is in early childhood education,” Gill said. “I spent years teaching children the joy of art and to

explore every kind of medium and to get dirty and have fun doing it. It filled my heart to see children having fun with art.” Sometimes when the pressures of motherhood ease up, artists will find they have more time and space to pursue their creativity. “As my children have grown up and started their own lives, I found myself more intrigued with different art forms, Gill said. “I get very squirrelly at times. If you open your mind to something, it’s like the flood gates have opened up.” Gill often spends long hours working on her craft, losing track of time in her creative process. “When I’m creating, it doesn’t feel like work. I get such an amazing charge when I’m using Mother Nature’s gifts to make something,” Gill said. “All things made from the Earth have healing properties and we all need nature

in our lives.” She is also welltraveled, finding inspiration wherever she goes. “I have spent years travelling and collecting many treasures and I love sharing them in my art creations. My husband always asks me, what’s that for? And I say, I’m not sure right now, but I will dream something up to use it.” Her main materials come from nature.

“I use Mother Nature’s gifts of a variety of woods, crystals, shells, rocks, feathers and essential oils for my creations,” Gill said. Gill’s artwork can be found at the Kamloops Artisan Market on Sundays at McDonald Park on the North Shore. The market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Gill can also be reached by emailing squirrellycreations27@ gmail.com.

Exploring wondrous, world-class caverns 1970S DISCOVERY IN ARIZONA LEADS TO BUSTLING TOURIST ATTRACTION JANE CASSIE

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

hen my husband suggests that we go underground and check out some caves in Arizona, I responded with a big, “Really?!” He knows I’m not a fan of dark, enclosed spaces, let alone bats that love to hang out in this subterranean environment. “Have no fear,” he said, as if reading my mind. “There’s no need for spelunking gear at Kartchner Caverns.” Credit for discovery of this popular tourist haunt located 14 kilometres south of Benson goes to Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen, two cave gurus who happened upon this find in 1974. Little did they know the sinkhole they were exploring on the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains would lead them to four kilometres of underground passages and a number of pristine caves. With a mission to preserve the caverns and guard against vandalism, they made a pact of secrecy and withheld the news publicly for 14 years. In 1978, they shared the findings with the

caverns opened. Hummingbird gardens and nature trails embrace the Discovery Centre, an information hub where we’re provided with an impressive overview. After watching a 15-minute captivating story in the Tenen-Tufts theatre, we browse through an adjacent museum

where placards and video clips prepare us for our tour. We have three options from which to choose. The rotunda/throne tour explores the role water plays in creating the caverns. The big room tour, which is closed from April to October because it’s a nursery roost for the cave bats, provides colourful cave formations. And the helmet and headlamp tour give a taste of what it was like for the discoverers — without lighting other than the ones on our heads.

Although nowadays there’s absolutely no belly travel required, after seeing the film of these two slithering around in the batloving dark, I opted for tour No. 1. Over the next hour and a half, knowledgeable guide, Ranger Tonya, provided a history, geology and hydrology lesson rolled into one. We learned the cavern space began forming about 500,000 years ago and the oldest dated formation is about 200,000 years old. After a short tram ride, we were dropped

off at the opening of the caverns. There is no need to squeeze through a tiny opening these days. Heavy insulated doors that keep unwanted things out and protect the treasures within are large enough to accommodate wheelchairs. They also help maintain the interior at a constant 22 C and 98 to 99 per cent humidity. Our educated leader then took us along paved curbed pathways that descend deep beneath the earth’s crust and each area lit up as we approached, then dimmed as we departed, a tactic to minimize the growth of algae. “We’re standing in living caves,” Tonya said, as we entered the Rotunda. I glanced guardedly over my shoulder, half expecting to see the flutter of wings. Aside from the sound of trickling water, all was still. “The growth of these geological formations is created by mineralized rainwater that seeps through cracks in the earth. But it’s a slow process.” It is estimated the stalactites grow about an inch every 100 to 1,000 years. They must have started forming in the Ice Age as some of these suspending sharp fangs are a

dozen feet long. They also looked like they were preparing for their next meal. And what a menu selection before them: Okra-striated stone that looked like strips of bacon, stalagmites with shimmering crystal centers, a.k.a. fried eggs, pencil-thin stalactites that hang like soda straws from the cavern rooftop and drapery formations that look like decadent caramel. Ranger Tonya rattled off the names of these geological beauties as if they were items on a buffet. My stomach growled and I regretted not stopping for lunch at the Discovery Centre’s Bat Cave Cafe. But the visual feast in the adjacent Throne Room was enough to keep me going. The 58-foot tall column, Kubla Khan, took centre stage. Like an emperor, the architectural flowstone boasted countless shapes, draped in rich golds and reds. It conquers all and we sat mesmerized by this monolith. “It’s been quite the cave tour,” I said to my husband. “Beautiful, educational and, today, totally bat free!” Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate.
