MLA: Pipeline fight ‘concerning’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

An NDP government decision to get involved in the legal fight against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should worry companies developing resource projects in the province, said Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar. The province’s NDP government has hired former judge Thomas Berger to provide legal advice to the government as it seeks intervener status in legal challenges against the federal government’s approval of the pipeline expansion, which would triple the capacity of the Alberta-to-B.C. line. The NDP has opposed the expansion of the pipeline, which received the blessing of the province’s former Liberal government earlier this year. “In the absence of them changing environmental rules, they’re going to throw up roadblocks under existing processes wherever they feel they can delay things,” Milobar said. “That’s got to be concerning to any kind of project that’s working its way through systems.” Milobar also serves as the B.C. Liberal’s shadow critic on environmental issues. He said the decision creates confusion, as NDP ministers have pledged to follow existing processes on other resource projects in B.C., including the Ajax mine in Kamloops. “Minister [of Mines Michelle] Mungall

Kinder Morgan’s Kamloops terminal, which is also a receiving site for other products from northeastern B.C. bound for the west coast, contains two storage tanks with an overall volume of 144,000 barrels. The terminal is located at the west end of Kamloops just off Highway 5.

has made it very clear they’re going to rely on the science and the guidance of the report and look at all factors — something that Kinder Morgan’s already gone to. And yet they’re ready to pull out the stops for a project that’s already been through all that,” he said. Trans Mountain has said construction on the project is set to begin in September, but Environment Minister George Heyman said in a statement only three of eight environmental management plans that would allow work to begin have been accepted and it is unlikely those remaining will get approval before work was to start. The other five management plans have not been accepted because the company didn’t adequately consult First Nations, Heyman said. “Until that has been completed, Kinder Morgan, with the exception of some private land and some clearing of right-of-way can-

not put shovels in the ground,” he said. Heyman said the province is also committed to further consultations with First Nations on the project, including the impact it has on Aboriginal rights and title. Several B.C. First Nations have filed lawsuits over the expansion. Milobar said the government shouldn’t be taking sides in ongoing legal disputes and noted the federal government felt First Nations were adequately consulted. “Obviously the Squamish First Nation differs in that view and they’re totally within their rights to do that, and they’ve gone through the proper legal channels to have that reviewed,” he said. “But for the government to just unilaterally decide one side is right and the other side is wrong, I think is troubling.” The province’s position won support from the Green party, which has signed an agreement giving its backing

to the minority NDP government in the legislature. “Government has a responsibility to base major decisions affecting the lives and livelihood of so many people on sound evidence, and in the case of Trans Mountain that standard was not met,’’ Green Leader Andrew Weaver said in a news release. In a statement, Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson said the company is taking the province’s comments seriously, but has already consulted with First Nations as required. “We have undertaken thorough, extensive and meaningful consultations with Aboriginal Peoples, communities and individuals and remain dedicated to those efforts and relationships as we move forward with construction activities in September,” Anderson said. —with files from the Canadian Press

Now that a decision on the Ajax mine has once again moved a little further out, members of the public can once again share their thoughts about the project with those tasked with deciding. The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency are giving the public two months to comment on the report and conditions headed to federal and provincial ministers who must say yes or no to the copper and gold mine. That’s up from the 30 days initially promised — already unusual in a typical approval process for a mining project in B.C. Written comments must be submitted to the two agencies by Oct. 10. Under the previous schedule, which extended the timeline on the mine’s environmental review by 110 days, final versions of the report were supposed to be in the hands of federal and provincial ministers by late September, with a decision expected in November. The full report, which includes risk assessments and recommendations, is available by following the links online at kamloopsthisweek.com/ajaxreport. Comments to the CEAA can be sent to: Ajax Mine Project, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, 410-701 West Georgia St. Vancouver B.C., V7Y 1C6, or via email at Ajax@ceaaacee.gc.ca. Comments to the EAO can be sent to: Ajax Mine Project, Environmental Assessment Office, P.O. Box 9426 Stn. Prov. Govt., Victoria B.C., V8W 9V1, or faxed to 250-387-0230.

2 is the Magic Number Did you know: if you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you have two years from the accident date to start an action. Otherwise, your claim will lapse and you won’t recover for your injuries. Accident victims sometimes believe their injuries are not serious enough to start a claim. However, injuries often remain over time and the “old you” doesn’t come back. If your recovery has plateaued, it’s time to consider your options. If you’ve been injured in an accident in the past two years, contact our Personal Injury Team for a free consultation. Even if you’ve engaged ICBC in discussions, you should consult with a lawyer.

This hillside south of Boston Flats was left blackened by the Elephant Hill wildfire last month. B.C. Wildfire Service officials believe the blaze, which ignited on July 6, has now burned more than 117,170 hectares.

Investigators search for cause of Elephant Hill blaze Investigators have ruled out sparks from a train as being the cause behind the massive Elephant Hill wildfire burning west of Kamloops. Emergency crews were made aware of the fire just before 10 p.m. on July 6 after it was spot-

ted south of Ashcroft. The blaze had scorched an estimated 117,170 hectares of land as of Thursday, closed highways, destroyed buildings and prompted evacuation orders for multiple communities including Cache Creek and Clinton.

RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said the B.C. Wildfire Service and police are investigating the cause of the fire, and a train has been eliminated as a source. Anyone with information can call an RCMP tip line at 1-855685-8788.

Highland Valley Copper workers vote in favour of five-year deal Unionized workers at Highland Valley Copper have a new contract. Members of United Steelworkers Local 7619 voted this week 84.5 per cent in favour of a new deal with Teck — a collective agreement that includes $12,000 signing bonuses. “It’s good,” union president

Kyle Wolff told KTW. “Sometimes you don’t want a really strong ratification vote — people are always unhappy about something.” The agreement came after bargaining resumed following a 99.8 per cent vote in favour of striking last month. Wolff said it’s nice to have a

deal after nearly a year of negotiations after the previous contract expired in September. “I’d say everyone’s satisfied with the contract,” he said. “It’s five years, so it gives them some labour stability. We hope that now we can get back to the normal course of business.”

First Nations leaders disagree with Ajax environmental report ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation says it’s not swayed by an assessment of the Ajax Mine from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency which finds the copper and gold mine will have no significant negative environmental effects. In a joint statement, Tk’emlups Chief Fred Seymour and Skeetchestn Chief Ron Ignace said there are multiple flaws in the agencies’ report, which will be used by provincial and federal ministers to make a decision on whether the mine goes ahead. “Our process has shown that this project will be detrimental and too risky for the health and well-being of our Secwepemc and non-Secwepemc communities,” Seymour said. The bands, which act jointly as SSN, conducted an independent panel review of the mine before opposing it. At issue was the disruption and loss of the area around Jacko Lake, or Pipsell, which the bands consider sacred. The CEAA and EAO report states the mine would have “significant adverse effects to heritage and the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by aboriginal persons,” but SSN said it also has a number of environmental concerns which are not addressed in the agencies’ assessment. “We say no to this project in order to say yes to the health of our community members and our neighbours in Kamloops and surrounding area,” reads the statement from SSN. “It does not make sense to sacrifice for all time all that we have in Pipsell

to obtain limited benefits which will last for only 25 years.” Sunny LeBourdais, SSN’s project specialist for Ajax, said experts who spoke to the bands cast doubt on Ajax’s plans to offset loss of grassland habitats, which are home to endangered species of plant and animals. “There’s really specific requirements required to develop really natural, high levels of biodiversity in grasslands,” she said, adding experts who spoke to SSN could not point to a grasslands restoration that had successfully restored the full mix of species in the area. Ajax’s plan, which would see some forested areas replanted as grasslands, adds more complexity to a difficult project, LeBourdais said. LeBourdais said SSN is also concerned that Ajax’s claim it will mitigate 90 per cent of dust emissions from the mine appears to have been accepted by the EAO and CEAA — mirroring concerns raised by the city. The bands also call into question economic benefits mine proponent KGHM estimates will flow to members, using data

from its employment and training department, which works with several mines. “SSN has respectful agreements in place with some progressive mines. Less than 10 per cent of those mines total employment are our members (Skeetchestn and Tk’emlúps) and just over 20 per cent Aboriginal hires in general. It is unlikely that there would be higher numbers from KGHM,” the statement reads. “Also, as far as salary, the current numbers that KGHM is touting as reality do not match with the study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) for the British Columbia Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BC AMTA). The average salary was found to be $52,959, not $90,000 as presented by KGHM.” LeBourdais said SSN plans to release reports and documents used at its panel review in the near future, to give the public more views on the mine, including an economic feasibility assessment which was not part of the scope of the government review.

Smoke taking toll at Fulton Field If you’re flying out of Kamloops before the smoke clears, go early or go late. Kamloops Airport managing director Fred Legace said many flights are getting out of the city each day despite smoke-filled skies, but mid-day trips are most vulnerable to delays and cancellation as smoke settles in the valley and makes visibility

more of a challenge. Legace said flights in the mornings, when smoke has thinned overnight, or evenings and night, when lights of the airport help with visibility, have been moving in and out more smoothly. Air carrier can also make a difference. While mid-afternoon Air

Canada flights were expected to be delayed, similarly-timed Westjet flights are outright cancelled. Legace said the carrier has cancelled flights into Kamloops for several days, noting it’s up to individual airlines to decide how much risk they want to accept. “I think they’ve just decided to cut their losses,” he said.

Business may be down, but operations that depend on tourism are coping with the effects of the wildfires and the smoke they bring. Fewer people are coming to the city, with hoteliers, tour operators and business owners taking notice. Privato Winery owner Debbie Woodward said the winery’s clientele has changed somewhat due to the smoke and wildfire situation in the region. “The locals are supporting the wineries, which is much appreciated, because things definitely are down from folks who are from out of town,” Woodward said. Maatje Stamp-Vincent, the owner of TasteFull Excursions, a wine tour and shuttle service company, also said they’ve had cancellations, but have managed to stay busy and won’t take much of a hit. “Would it have been busier had this not been the case? No doubt,” she said. “I think everybody’s got to be feeling the pinch.”

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 weather. While forecasts can be as unpredictable as Donald Trump’s Twitter feed, Environment Canada is showing signs of reprieve heading into the weekend — from both the smoke and heat, which residents, community organizers and fire crews alike could do without. Saturday is expected to be a sunny, smoke-free day and Sunday is calling for rain. You heard right — rain. Precipitation has been scarce in recent months so, with hopes the current forecasts are indeed correct, perhaps we should all head down to Riverside Park with umbrellas this weekend to celebrate over a rack of ribs. NOT: An increasing feud between world leaders. Donald Trump made off-the-cuff remarks earlier this week that blew up — hopefully not foreshadowing — in the media. In advising North Korea against threatening the United States, he issued one himself: “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Unsurprisingly, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un followed up with a statement from one of his top generals, threatening to fire missiles at the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam. It’s not the first time he has boasted about his penchant for fire power, but it is frightening to witness leaders who appear to want to prove just who is stronger.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Politics. From Ajax to Trans-Mountain to North Korea — this week’s headlines were hot from Kamloops to Guam. It all came the same week in which The New York Times reported on Monday in its nightly newsletter that it was experiencing a return to the “slow news cycle” of Augusts past. The latter half of the week proved that wrong and KTW’s newsroom has yet to see signs of slowing this summer. What next week holds is anyone’s guess. Stay tuned.

Only one way out of crisis

“

I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed, Mr. President, but I do say not more than 10 or 20 million dead, depending on the breaks.” So said General Buck Turgidson, urging the U.S. president to carry out a nuclear first strike, in Stanley Kubrick’s 1963 film Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. But nobody in Kubrick’s movie talked like Kim Jong-un (“American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” he crowed, celebrating North Korea’s first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile). They didn’t talk like Donald Trump either (“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”) Kubrick’s film came out the year after the Cuban missile crisis, when the world went to the brink of nuclear war after the Soviet Union put nuclear missiles into Cuba to deter an American invasion. It was a terrifying time, but neither U.S. President John F. Kennedy nor the Soviet leaders used violent language. They stayed calm and carefully backed away from the brink. So Kubrick’s fictional leaders had to stay sane, too; only his generals and civilian strategic experts were crazy. Anything else would have been too implausible even for a wild satire like Strangelove. Whereas now we live in different times. Trump may not understand what his own words mean, but he is threatening to attack North Korea if it makes any more threats to the United States. That’s

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH certainly how it will be translated into Korean. And Pyongyang will assume that the U.S. attack will be nuclear, since it would be even crazier to attack a nuclear-armed country like North Korea using only conventional weapons. Is this where the world finds itself at the moment? Afraid so. And although a nuclear war with North Korea at this point wouldn’t even muss America’s hair — the few North Korean ICBMs would probably go astray or be shot down before they reached the U.S. — it could kill many millions of Koreans on both sides of the border. A million or so Japanese might die as well depending on the fallout as well as a few tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers in western Pacific bases from targeted strikes. Indeed, as the scale of the potential disaster comes home to North Korean strategists, you can see them start to play with the idea of a “limited nuclear war.” North Korean planners have announced they are “carefully examining” a plan for a missile attack on the big U.S. base on Guam. In that way, they could “signal their resolve” in a crisis by only hitting one isolated American

military target. Their hope would be that such a limited attack would not unleash an all-out U.S. nuclear counter-attack that would level North Korea. Limited nuclear war typically becomes a favourite topic whenever strategists realize that using their cherished nuclear weapons any other way means unimaginable levels of death and destruction. It has never been credible because it assumes people will remain severely rational and unemotional while under attack by nuclear weapons. Thinking about limited nuclear war, while unrealistic, is evidence planners are starting to get really scared about an all-out nuclear war, which is just what you want them to be. Nevertheless, we are entering a particularly dangerous phase of the process, not least because the other two major nuclear powers in the world, China and Russia, both have land borders with North Korea. And neither of them loves or trusts the United States. What process are we talking about? The process of coming to an accommodation that lets North Korea keep a nuclear deterrent, while reassuring it will never have to use those weapons. Because that’s what North Korean missiles and nuclear warheads are about: deterring an American attack aimed at changing the regime. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson briefly said the U.S. was not seeking to change the North Korean regime last week, although he was almost immediately contradicted by President Trump. In the long run, however, that is the unpalatable but acceptable way out of this crisis. In fact, there is no other way out. gwynnedyer.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DO THE CRIME, PAY TIME Editor: I am very upset about the way the justice department is dealing with penalties for serious crimes. Recently an intoxicated driver crashed his pickup into the side of a RCMP cruiser, killing the female officer. His penalty for taking this woman’s life was four years in prison. In four years, he will be free again and able to live a full life. The RCMP officer will be dead forever. Her family will

mourn their loss for the rest of their lives. The police protect the public, I believe we should do what we can to protect them. I would encourage everyone to contact their politicians, to get stiffer penalties for serious crimes. We have a family member who is a member of the RCMP. If some thoughtless person were to kill him, I would expect more than a four-year penalty. The other serious crime not being

TRUDEAUMANIA INDEED Why is this “newsworthy? ” Editor: Recently the everpresent media captured our fabulously photogenic Prime Minister getting into a kayak, losing his balance and unceremoniously falling in the water. Why is this newsworthy? Everyone knows Justin Trudeau can’t balance a budget, and probably never will, so why would anyone be surprised to learn he can’t maintain his own balance. Now I’ll tell you what would have been newsworthy: If Andrew Scheer, the new leader of the Conservative

dealt with is the scam artist bilking pensioners out of their life savings. There is a TV program called Holmes on Homes, hosted by Mike Holmes. Most of his clients and his foundation are helping people that have been hurt financially by scam artists. I strongly believe politicians should create laws to protect our police and the public in general. If you do the crime, you do the time at the crowbar motel. Harold Elliott Kamloops

Party of Canada, had come running out of the bushes dressed in blue tights with the Maple Leaf emblazoned on his chest and a matching cape billowing behind him and then proceeded to tip Justin out of his kayak while shouting, “I’m here to save Canada! Take my picture! Take my picture!”

Editor: Past federal and provincial governments were warned this was likely coming. With more vision and less laissez-faire philosophy, they should have been prepared with air power in place to address this crisis in B.C., a crisis of global proportions. Now that wildfires are upon us, governments need to face the scale of the crisis with a suitable response, to be ready this year, next and for years to come. B.C. and Canada need to establish a military-type base of air power operations with the massive capital equipment on the ready to respond to these

wildfire threats as soon as they manifest. Such a Canadian base can also rent out services to the U.S. when not needed in Canada. Depending on foot soldiers to address the large scale of this B.C. crisis may be good for media stories, but is ineffective against the scale of the threat we witness today. A fleet of mega-helicopters capable of carrying the necessary payloads are needed.

If the North American market cannot provide these, the international market can. Helicopters provide a more precise delivery ability than planes carrying a similar payload. A base needs to be established in Western Canada to host such firefighting-ready mega-lift helicopters, probably based in B.C. where most of the bio-mass is found. While hundreds of millions are spent on Canadian troops

sitting in Latvia, B.C. burns, with little but a photo-op federal response. Foot soldiers without megaair power backup amount to little done. B.C. is going through this crisis alone, with no federal presence and money without the capital air power equipment on site means little. Visionless, unresponsive, laissez-faire governments at both the federal and provincial levels, unheeding of the warning signs of the past few years, have left B.C. without effective defenses in this summer of 2017.

Province considers closing Three B.C. clinics to wide swath of backcountry undergo due to risk of wildfires HEALTH

auditing

Premier describes 2017 wildfire season as B.C.’s worst since 1950s as officials mull whether to restrict access to some areas

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix says the billing practices of three private health clinics in the province are the subject of an investigation. Dix said the issue of overbilling in British Columbia has been a long-standing concern under the Canada Health Act and the province and Health Canada agreed about the need for the audit. He hasn’t identified the clinics being reviewed, but said his ministry is conducting the investigatory audit through its billing integrity program. Dix said the agreement to conduct the audits was negotiated under the previous Liberal government in B.C., though he strongly believes health care must be about need rather than the ability to pay.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WILLIAMS LAKE — British Columbia is considering closing access to a vast section of its backcountry because of the wildfire risk. Restrictions on access to all Crown land in the Cariboo fire centre would go into effect at noon on Friday as the province continues to battle what Premier John Horgan has said is the worst fire season since the 1950s. There were 150 fires burning in the province on Wednesday. A final decision will be made Friday morning and will depend on wind conditions. A restriction order would mean people cannot remain in or enter the area without the prior written authorization. Exceptions include people

who are travelling to or from their principle residence, a person acting in an official capacity or those who support efforts to fight wildfires. The Cariboo fire centre in the province’s Interior stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton in the south to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel in the north, and from Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in the west to Wells Gray Provincial Park in the east. The area is a popular destination for hikers and campers. Tourism officials have begun assessing the impact of the devastating wildfires on the travel sector. Maya Lange of Destination BC, the province’s tourism planning and marketing corporation, said Wednesday businesses outside the fire zones have complained of cancellations.

Most evidence of a slow down in tourism has been anecdotal and Lange said data reflecting the financial implications won’t be ready for another two to three months. But the number of tourists coming into the province week-to-week has remained on track. That may mean visitors are changing their travel plans within the province rather than cancelling their trips entirely, Lange said. Some parts of the province have already been closed to visitors. Jeff Leahy with BC Parks said Wednesday officials understand restrictions and closures to the backcountry and parks, especially in the hard-hit Cariboo region, can have a significant impact on businesses that rely on access to those areas.

Uber hits Vancouver streets ahead of launch THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A popular ride-hailing company wants to get the lay of the land as it gears up to hit the streets of Metro Vancouver by the end of the year. Uber Canada is launching an urban mapping pro-

gram this week in the Lower Mainland. Twenty-five vehicles will travel around the region gathering images and data about things like building entrances, traffic patterns and roadways. The company says the information will allow it to

better match customers with drivers, navigate the quickest routes and come up with more accurate timing estimates. Vancouver has long resisted the arrival of Uber, but B.C.’s previous Liberal government said earlier this year it would work to allow ride-

Canadian pastor ‘on his way home’ after North Korea release THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Relatives of a Canadian pastor released this week after more than two years in a North Korean prison said Thursday he is “on his way home’’ and they are anxious to be reunited with him. The Korean Central News Agency reported Wednesday that North Korea’s central court had decided to free Hyeong Soo Lim, who was serving a life sentence for anti-state activities. The pastor’s release was described as “sick bail,’’ but no other details were given. In a statement Thursday, a spokeswoman for his family said they look forward to his return. “We are relieved to hear that Rev.

Lim is on his way home to finally reunite with his family and meet his granddaughter for the first time,’’ Lisa Pak said on the family’s behalf. “There is a long way to go in terms of Rev. Lim’s healing, therefore, in the meantime we ask the media for privacy as he reconnects with his loved ones and receives medical attention.’’ Pak also said the family is grateful to the Canadian government and the Swedish embassy in North Korea for working behind the scenes to secure the pastor’s freedom. She did not say when he was scheduled to arrive in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday he was “pleased and relieved’’ that Lim had been released.

Sask. Premier Brad Wall retires after 10 years THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — One of Canada’s most high-profile premiers who rose to national prominence for his down-to-earth style, sharp wit and, more recently, his willingness to lock horns with Ottawa is retiring from politics after a decade in office. Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall said he made the decision at the end of June after talking it over with his wife Tami. “It’s a hard thing to even just start to talk about,’’ Wall said Thursday. “We decided now was the time for me to end my career in politics. “I think renewal will be good for the province. I think renewal and a different perspective will be good for the government. I think renewal will be good for my party as well. Whatever I do after this — and I currently have no leads or prospects — this job will be the honour of my working life.’’ Wall said he will stay on until his successor is chosen.

In new threat, Trump demands North Korea ‘get their act together’ JONATHAN LEMIRE JOSH LEDERMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Donald Trump issued a new threat to North Korea on Thursday, demanding that Kim Jong Un’s government “get their act together’’ or face extraordinary trouble. He said his previous “fire and fury’’ warning to Pyongyang might have been too mild. “Maybe that statement wasn’t tough enough,’’ Trump said in the latest round of an escalating exchange of threats between the two nuclear-armed nations. Speaking to reporters in New Jersey, Trump said North Korea has been “getting away with a tragedy that can’t be allowed.’’ Still, he declined to say whether the U.S. is considering a pre-emptive military strike, arguing that his administration never discusses such deliberations publicly. Trump spoke after North Korea intensified its own rhetoric by announcing a detailed plan to launch a salvo of ballistic missiles toward the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, a major military hub and home to U.S. bombers. That announcement had

been a response to Trump’s threat that the North would face “fire and fury like the world has never seen’’ if it threatened the U.S. again. On Thursday, Trump said it is time somebody stood up to the pariah nation. “North Korea better get their act together or they are going to be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble,’’ Trump said, flanked by VicePresident Mike Pence. “It may very well be tougher than I said.’’ Trump spoke after meeting with national security advisers at the golf resort where he’s vacationing. He said the U.S. “of course’’ would always consider negotiations with North Korea, but added that talks with the North have failed for the last 25 years. He said that China, the North’s biggest trading partner, needs to do more to apply pressure — and predicted it will. The threatened attack near Guam, if carried out, would be the North’s most provocative missile launch to date. The North said it is finalizing a plan to fire four of its Hwasong-12 missiles over Japan and into waters around the tiny island, which hosts 7,000 U.S. military personnel on two main bases

and has a population of 160,000. Japan and South Korea vowed a strong reaction if the North were to go through with the plan. Trump added his voice on Thursday, insisting that if North Korea took any steps to even think about an attack, it would have reason to be nervous. “Things will happen to them like they never thought possible, OK?’’ Trump said. Of Kim, Trump added: “He’s been pushing the world around for a long time.’’ North Korea said the plan, which involves the missiles hitting waters 30 to 40 kilometres from the island, could be sent to leader Kim for approval within a week or so. It would be up to Kim whether the move is actually carried out. But the extreme specificity of the plan suggested it was designed to show North Korea is actually plotting a launch. The report said the Hwasong-12 rockets would fly over Shimane, Hiroshima and Koichi prefectures in Japan and travel “1,065 seconds before hitting the waters 30 to 40 kilometres away from Guam.’’ It said the Korean People’s Army Strategic Force will finalize the plan by mid-August, present it to Kim and “wait for his order.’’

Election dispute in U.S. to declare Kenya intensifies with emergency conflicting claims over opioids HEALTH

CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, Kenya — A dispute over Kenya’s presidential election intensified Thursday when supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga said an unofficial tally showed that he won — a claim that conflicted with a provisional official result that put incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta in the lead. Although most of the East African nation was calm after Tuesday’s vote, scattered clashes broke out between police and opposition supporters. The uncertainty has left Kenya in political limbo, as its people await final results that they hope will dissipate tensions over vote-rigging allegations and

preserve the long-term stability that has made the country a commercial hub. Opposition official Musalia Mudavadi claimed to have “complete data’’ from election commission servers showing Odinga with a lead of several hundred thousand votes over Kenyatta, contrary to results on the commission’s website that put the president more than 1 million votes ahead. The opposition has received information from “confidential’’ sources in the election commission that indicates “the actual presidential election results contained in their database,’’ Mudavadi said. He said there was a “serious attempt to try to either doctor or alter the final results.’’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will officially declare the opioid crisis a “national emergency’’ and pledged to ramp up government efforts to combat the epidemic. “The opioid crisis is an emergency. And I am saying officially right now: It is an emergency, it’s a national emergency. We’re going to spend a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of money on the opioid crisis,’’ Trump told reporters during a brief question-and-answer session ahead of a security briefing Thursday at his golf course in New Jersey. Trump said he’d be drawing up documents to formalize the declaration soon.

ports teams, organizations and events are paying the price for smoke and poor air quality that is stealing Kamloops’ summer, the result of wildfires burning across the province. “It’s massively affected us,” said Larry Read, sports information officer at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). The Kamloops Tennis Association (KTA) is the latest organization to cancel an event, pulling the plug on the Sunshine Open, which was scheduled for this weekend. “We wanted to be respectful of peoples’ cost commitments that would be impacted by cancelling at a later date,” KTA president Danielle Wilson said, noting about 50 per cent of the players were outof-town registrants. “Now, I’m kind of hearing wind could push the smoke over on Friday. It’s unfortunate, but we wanted to err on the side of caution.” At KTW’s press deadline, the air quality health index (AQHI) in Kamloops was 13, which is listed as very high risk on the Government of Canada’s website. Smoke from the Elephant Hill wildfire, now 117,000 hectares in size, and other fires to the north continues to choke out Kamloops, with recent AQHI ratings topping out somewhere between 10 and 30, all high or very high risk readings that could cause negative health effects. The projected AQHI for Friday was 9 as of press time on Thursday afternoon. Kamloops Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo, part owner of the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge, may do a jig outside the

downtown establishment if he peeks his head outside at closing time in the wee hours of Saturday morning to see clear skies. Cancelling the Broncos’ game against the Langford-based Westshore Rebels, scheduled for Saturday night at Hillside Stadium, would not be good for the B.C. Football Conference club’s coffers. Bernardo said his main concern is the safety of fans and players, noting he will consult with a physician before a decision is made on Saturday morning. But he doesn’t want to cancel the game. “The only way it’s going to be cancelled is if we know it’s going

to be really terrible,” Bernardo said, asking fans to check the Broncos’ website for the latest news. “[Home games] are the main source of revenue for us. “The forecast says the smoke is supposed to be lifting today or tomorrow.” The forecast was also promising ahead of the Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament (KIST), but clear skies were scarce last weekend and it was hampered by poor air quality. If the Broncos’ game is scrapped, it will likely be rescheduled for Labour Day long weekend. “No one is around on a long weekend and it’s really hard to

draw a gate,” Bernardo said. Recreational soccer league matches have been cancelled and at least one women’s division is considering wiping out the remainder of the season. The Kamloops Rugby Club (KRC) was expected to kick into full pre-season training mode this week, but has instead been limited to light practices and meetings at Exhibition Park. KRC decided to cancel a game against a touring junior team from England. Instead of a match on Tuesday, they played touch rugby and had a barbecue. The Kamloops Soccer Dome has been a go-to spot for sports

organizations seeking refuge from the smoke, including the Broncos, Kamloops Community Football (KCF) and TRU WolfPack. TRU’s soccer men, which began exhibition play in Calgary on Thursday, has been able to practise outside only once at Hillside Stadium. “We haven’t had much time to work on tactical play or 11 vs. 11, but we will use these upcoming matches in Calgary to do that,” WolfPack men’s soccer head coach John Antulov said. The WolfPack women were slated to begin training camp on Friday at Hillside, but will likely be forced to practise indoors. See PARENTS, A16

Parents concerned about children practising in smoke From A15

TRU is also scheduled to host a women’s soccer tournament at Hillside Stadium next weekend. The Capilano Blues, UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George and MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton may have to abandon their travel plans. “I don’t know what they’re going to do if this doesn’t improve,” Read said, noting the WolfPack cross-

country running team is being encouraged to train inside. Football parent Brandi Thring sent a press release to KTW, detailing the start of the Kamloops Community Football campaign, which has also been affected by the haze. “The smoke has been terrible for training. . . . We have had quite a few parental concerns brought up and parents who have chosen to

keep their players home,” Thring said. Golf courses are missing out on what would be prime-time tourist season and many local members have been forced inside. At least the PGA Championship is on this weekend. Kamloops Minor Baseball Association (KMBA) executives have spent much of this year preparing for the Western Canada Baseball Association (WCBA)

Championships, scheduled to run from Aug. 17 to Aug. 20 on McArthur Island. KMBA president Chris Balison said he remains in touch with Baseball BC, but the final decision on whether to cancel the event belongs to the WCBA committee. “Obviously, they won’t allow the kids to play in conditions that are hazardous to their health but,

at this point, it’s still a ago,” Balison said. “There’s not only our three teams, but 22 other teams travelling to Kamloops to play in a high-profile event they’ve prepared for, not only for this year, but all of their baseball careers.” The nixing of Westerns would continue the assault on local hotels, restaurants and businesses affected by the sports-tourism vac-

cum, which started in earnest when the Kamloops Marathon was cancelled on July 18. “It’s a gut-wrenching decision,” race organizer Charlie Bruce said, noting he did not want the marathon to draw resources from evacuation efforts in the city. “We started this process 11 months ago. To come to this point is tough — really, really tough.”

Maximilian Joseph and the Kamloops Broncos will be looking to hurdle the Westshore Rebels of Langford on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. Game time is 6 p.m. Team officials will decide whether to cancel the game due to poor air quality concerns on Saturday morning. Find the latest at kamloopsbroncos.com.

Rebels to test Broncos in Week 3

eparation between the wheat and the chaff may come in Week 3 of the B.C. Football Conference season. There is parity across the league as four of six teams — the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo, Westshore Rebels of Langford, Kamloops Broncos and Langley Rams — are tied for second at 1-1. Kamloops and Westshore are scheduled to square off at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. It seems to be harder than usual to judge the outcomes of these football games, unless the Valley Huskers (0-2) of Chilliwack are involved, as they continue the rebuilding process under another new coach. And it’s been tough to get a read on Kamloops through two weeks. The Broncos passed for 156 yards in the

first half and ran for 106 yards in the second half against the Valley Huskers in Week 1 at windy Hillside Stadium, a 41-8 triumph for the home team. In holding the Huskers to eight points, it seemed the Broncos may be better on defence than many critics had prognosticated, and after one half against the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna last week, Kamloops had surrendered only 10 points. But the Sun put up 26 points in the second half and Kamloops’ offence was non-existent in a 36-0 rout. It will be interest-

ing on Saturday to find out more about the Broncos and Rebels. Is Kamloops more like the team that vanquished Valley or more akin to the squad that was skewered by the Sun? Westshore made franchise history last weekend by winning its first game at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo, knocking off the Raiders 27-25, and only lost by four points to Okanagan in Kelowna in Week 1. Are the Rebels championship contenders or will the Broncos put a hitch in their giddy up? If the game isn’t cancelled due to poor air quality, fans will find out on Saturday. Care to comment?

On Sunday, July 9th a male was caught shoplifting from one of the stores in the Northills Mall. This male was detained by the mall security staff. The suspect was being advised that he would not be allowed back into the mall, he became verbally abusive to the mall staff. This male continued his rant and threatened the life of the staff employee. The suspect must have realized that the threats were being taken seriously by the employee. The male then ran out of the mall before he could be identified. The police, as well as the mall staff, want to identify this male, so he does not threaten anyone else. Once this suspect is identified he will be charged criminally for uttering threats to the mall staff. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you may receive a cash reward upon the arrest of this suspect.

suspect grabbed a couple of items and placed them in his backpack. The store staff contacted mall security, who could not located the suspect. The store employee and mall security staff reviewed the security camera surveillance video and have identified this male as the suspect. There

WolfPack men in Cowtown

University soccer season has arrived. The Thompson Rivers WolfPack men’s team will begin exhibition play this week at a tournament hosted by Calgary-based Mount Royal Cougars. “We are going to use these matches for development and the guys getting to know each other,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said. “We will also be using these matches to work on different tactical formation and shape. Everyone will get in, but we won’t have seven players this week due to various reasons.” TRU has been at a disadvantage, practising inside due to poor air quality in Kamloops, the result of wildfires

included Jaxsin Vaughan, Grady Johnson, Thomas Balison and Ryder Corsi.

Tough weekend

The peewee AA Kamloops Riverdogs posted an 0-3 record at the Baseball BC Championship in Burnaby last weekend. In Kamloops’ first game, Nolan Foster was 2-for-3 at the plate, but his Dogs fell 10-3 to Chilliwack. Kamloops was beaten 11-4 by District Six Little League, despite Layne Waugh going 2-for-2 at the dish. The Tri-City Reds downed Kamloops 20-13. Parker Robertson was 4-for-4 at the plate in a losing effort.

BRIEFS burning across the province. “We haven’t had much time to work on tactical play or 11 vs. 11, but we will use these upcoming matches in Calgary to do that,” Antulov said. The WolfPack opened the tournament on Thursday against the UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George and will play MacEwan of Edmonton on Friday, Lethbridge on Saturday and Mount Royal on Sunday. TRU will travel to Oregon for exhibition play later this month before heading to Prince George for its Canada West opener against UNBC on Aug. 25. The WolfPack will play host to the Victoria Vikes on Sept. 2.

Looks like Jennings to start JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — After completing a couple light throws early in Wednesday’s practice, Travis Lulay headed to the B.C. Lions’ locker room to swap his helmet for a baseball cap as he continues to nurse sore ribs. Out on the field, fellow quarterback Jonathon Jennings took the majority of the reps, not showing any ill effects from an injury to his throwing shoulder that has kept him on the sidelines most of the last month. No one was saying for sure, but it definitely looked and sounded like the latter will be under centre this Sunday when the Lions visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Game time is 5 p.m. “I feel good,’’ said Jennings, who was hurt on B.C.’s first play from scrimmage in a road victory over Hamilton on July 15. “It takes a team to win a championship. It’s not going to be won by one person. “When I went down, Travis came in and did a great job. I’m looking to do the same, coming back in and picking up where we left off.’’ Lulay subbed in for Jennings against Hamilton, and all he did that night was set a CFL record for yardage thrown in relief with 436 yards.

KTW FILE PHOTO

B.C. Lions’ quarterback Jonathon Jennings has recovered from injury and will likely start against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Place Stadium on Sunday.

The 33-year-old is 98-of-133 passing for 1,437 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with six interceptions in four appearances, including three starts, but he took a big hit from Roughriders defensive end Willie Jefferson in the first half of Saturday’s 30-15 victory over Saskatchewan. Lulay finished the game. The next two days were the painful part. “His helmet caught me square,’’ said Lulay. “I’ve been hit harder, but maybe not as direct where I absorbed 100 per cent of his energy in my side.’’ Lulay has two 400-yard passing games in 2017 — he only had two combined

Memories

over his previous eight seasons — and is averaging more than 359 yards per appearance and a career-high 10.8 yards per pass attempt. The Lions (5-2) have beaten the Riders (2-4) seven straight times while averaging nearly 35 points a game dating back to the start of the 2015 season, with three of those victories coming in Regina, but will be playing their first game at the new Mosaic Stadium. “All we’re focused on is just executing — doing what we have to do to execute that play,’’ Jennings said. “Whether it’s me or Travis, we both know we can get the job done.”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Ralph J Lazzarotto

Margaret Elizabeth Kent (nee Lott)

January 1926 - May 2017

1939 - 2017

Ralph was born in Revelstoke, BC and spent his early years in Golden, BC; he was a youngster in Monte Creek, BC and attended Kamloops High School. Ralph was a WWII Army Veteran; he worked for CPR as a locomotive engineer in Kamloops and later in Vancouver. It was in Vancouver that he became the CPR Rules Instructor for BC.

He and wife Eva retired to live in Abbotsford where they golfed extensively in the BC Lower Mainland and additionally in California and Arizona in the winters. Once with clubs in tow, they golfed their way across Canada and back. In 2013 Ralph’s oncoming Alzheimer’s made it necessary to sell their Abbotsford home and move to a senior’s condo and subsequently for Ralph to a nursing home nearby where he resided until his death. He was predeceased by his sister Ines McQuay, a long time nurse at the Burris Clinic in Kamloops and her husband Bob McQuay - like Ralph, a CPR engineer in Kamloops. He will be missed by his wife Eva, brother Hector (Ola) and many nieces, nephews; grandnieces and grandnephews. He had no children of his own, but was known as “Uncle Ralph” to all of the youngsters within the extended family and like wise to friends families’ as well. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 11:00 am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 635 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops. Followed by a Friendship Luncheon in the Church Hall. Condolences and messages to the family may be posted on the Schoenings Funeral Service website www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Or by email - Hector: lazz@bell.net

Margaret (Marg) leaves to mourn Bernie, her husband and soul-mate of 56 years, children David (Becky), Christine Demecha (Mark), Kevin (Joanna) together with grandchildren Jeffrey (Kathleen), Nicole (fiancé Jeff), Jacob and Erin Demecha and her many, many friends. Marg was predeceased by her parents Tom and Nancy Lott, brother John and infant daughter Janice. Marg was destined to be an educator. Her first teaching position was a split grade one/two class with 44 students. Marg never taught a class with less than 39 kids. After moving to Kamloops Marg was active in raising her family, participating with Girl Guides, New Century Singers, YWCA Board and Women’s Shelter, Bonding the Senses program to help people with learning difficulties and Teacher-on-Call. For 20 years, Marg monitored a route of bluebird boxes in Rose Hill for the Kamloops Naturalist Club. Marg enjoyed playing cards, traveling and watching her family’s many activities. Through her church Marg took part in ten mission trips to Guatemala, six as co-leader with Bernie. Together with Bernie, Marg also led a Home Group for over 20 years. Marg enjoyed life and enriched the life of everyone she met. She had a wonderful smile that could light up the room. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to close friend Sandy Baird and Dr. Nguyen and the entire Oncology team at RIH for their outstanding care, compassion and support. A Celebration of Marg’s Life will be held at Kamloops Alliance Church at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 12, 2017. Alternative Funeral and Cremation Services in charge of arrangements. Memorial gifts may be made in Marg’s name to the BC Cancer Society or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

Take one million teardrops wrap them up with love then ask the wind to carry them to heaven up above. Dearly missed and remembered always. Mary Tober, her daughters Susan, Kelly, Corry and their families.

Charles Spicer

Our very special wife, mother, grandmother and friend Margaret Kent died on August 3, 2017 after a courageous three-year battle with Colon cancer.

He was attracted to many sports: softball, tennis, swimming, curling, fishing, hunting, and golf. Ralph would become fully immersed in each to the point of some competence. Ralph always enjoyed gatherings and used his story telling to regale young and old with his exploits about his sports, working and life in general, probably exaggerated but never dull.

In Loving Memory Of

A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC.

Vi (Viola) Chevalier Vi (Viola) Chevalier, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and caregiver passed peacefully on July 28, 2017. Vi is predeceased by her husband of 62 years Don and sons Wayne and Alan. She is survived by her brother Alvin (Josie), children Karen (Chuck), Brenda (Brian), Gerald (Debbie), Ken (Elizabeth) and Darren ( Leanne), grandchildren Jody, Stacey (Paul), Jennifer, Jeffrey (Trina), Patrick (Delena), Shane, Terence (Jenelle), Jaime (Chad), Tyler (Melody), Jeremy (Elisa), Aleksandr and Tatiana, great-grandchildren Elliot, Aidan, Sarah, Alexis, Ava, Evan, Matt, Brilyn, Kaylie, Elise and Isabelle. She spent the past year with her new friends at Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre. Vi was born in Burstall, Saskatchewan on December 17, 1931 and was raised on a farm by her parents John and Eva Riehl, alongside her older brother Alvin. This is where Vi learned the value and importance of family through hardship and survival. Vi met and married Don in 1953 in Suffield, Alberta. They moved throughout Western Canada during Don’s military career, settling in Prince George in 1967 where they built their first house together. Vi and Don kept very busy raising their seven children. Spending their summer holidays at the family property located at Kelly Lake, BC was always the highlight of the year. Vi had a true loving spirit. She was gentle soul. She was always smiling and with every passing moment saw the most positive in all she knew and met. She was an active volunteer in her community, often with activities through the Catholic Parish, including many years at St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Shop in Kamloops. Not a day would go by without Vi enjoying a glass of Don’s homemade wine, specially made for her, alongside a dish of peanuts.

May your wonderful spirit continue alongside your loving husband Don. Funeral Mass for Vi will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church on Monday, August 14, 2017 at 2:00 pm. Refreshments to follow in the parish hall. REST IN PEACE

In February 1945, Mom married Tye and they lived in a number of BC Interior towns in the Thompson and Okanagan Valleys, eventually settling in Kamloops. Rose’s greatest joy was to be spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Interior Health and Ponderosa Lodge for their compassionate care and support. We would also like to express our thanks and appreciation to Dr. P. Sigalet for his attentive care to our Mom. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Ponderosa Lodge, 425 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T4 or to the charity of your choice.

James Gordon Campbell

It is with broken hearts that we announce that on August 4, 2017 our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away with her grandchildren, daughters and husband at her side. After bravely fighting Multiple Myeloma for three and half years, she succumbed to the effects of the cancer. Cathy is survived by her husband Robert, two daughters Nicole (Carl Poole) of Port Alberni, Christina (Jordan Lester) of Kamloops, four grandchildren Amiko, Jack, Cate and Flora, sisters Margaret Ann Buchignani and Barb Irving, both of Calgary and numerous nieces and nephews. Cathy was born and raised in Rossland, B.C., the youngest of three girls. When she completed her high school education, she entered into the field of nursing and completed her RN at St. Paul’s Hospital in 1971. Following graduation she was employed at Grand Forks Hospital and married to Robert in 1973. She worked at Richmond General Hospital while Robert studied Engineering at UBC. Following Robert’s graduation from UBC as a Mining Engineer in 1975, Cathy worked at Granisle Health Clinic, Princeton Hospital, and 15 years at Pine Grove Care Center in Kamloops until her retirement in 2008. She was know as an “energizer bunny” who work tirelessly with the utmost compassion and respect for aging individuals. Cathy had a big heart and a huge capacity to give herself to others. Even when tired and unwell she never focused on herself. Instead she always made sure her loved ones were at the forefront of her affection. She was a major support and influence on her daughters and played a huge role as a grandma with her four grandchildren. She was a wonderful caregiver to her pets even the ones with undesirable characteristics that left them previously abandoned. Recently she walked alongside with her beloved Golden lab, Keiko on their shared cancer journey.

Cathy loved life and was always enthusiastic to do anything. Whether it was exploring the world with Bob or enjoying the familiar trails in Peterson Creek and Stake Lake with her friends and daughters. Quiet times were enjoyed with her current book on the go or tending to the most brilliant flower gardens. Her cooking and baking was exceptional and she shared this with her friends and family. Due to her desire to help other sufferers, Cathy took on the role of being the Support Leader for Myeloma Canada in the Kamloops Area. Please support Cathy in her last endeavor and join her in the Myeloma Canada March at Riverside Park, starting at Uji Garden at 9:00 am, August 26, 2017 or donate to Myeloma Canada by going to the website: myelomacanada. akaraisin.com/myelomamarch2017/kamloops Her team is Walkie Talkie. Her family would like to acknowledge the compassion and loving care provided by Colleen Richter NP, Dr. Proctor and the team at the Cancer Clinic, the nurses in Ambulatory Care, Dr. Farren and Carol, Palliative Care RN. A Celebration of her life will take place in Kamloops at the Southwest Baptist Community Church at 2:00 pm on August 19, 2017. In lieu of flowers and gifts Cathy’s family would appreciate a donation in her name to the above-mentioned Myeloma Canada or to your local SPCA. Condolences may be expressed to the family from ww.myalternatives.ca

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Randy Bailer says his band’s music appeals to a wide demographic, he means it. Punch Drunk Cabaret’s sound is rockabilly Stray Cats meets Green Day meets Tom Waits. It reminds seniors of longlost swing music — but it also appeals to teens, tweens and in-betweens. “They really relate to the energy of the band,” Bailer, lead singer and songwriter, told KTW.

“The band is more high energy than any band you can think of.” Part of that energy comes from the Alberta group’s overall music mentality: Performing music is entertainment. Bailer said many musicians get wrapped up in trying to be overly serious. That’s not the case with Punch Drunk Cabaret, which offers “ultimate escapism.” “I just notice there’s lots of people in venues that want to be entertained,” Bailer said. That philosophy echoes from the band’s music to its style. To match the rockabilly component of the band’s sound, Punch Drunk Cabaret could

rock leather jackets and pompadours. But in mixing genres and influences, Bailer found a bowler hat and black suit jacket — and the style stuck. “What seemed most fitting to me, was to address in a way, not being stuck in a particular decade . . . “ Bailer said. “That started to work for us.” The name of the band also speaks to the philosophy of entertaining — touring variety shows that put on a show for the community. Asked why it’s important to focus on those details, Bailer said it’s “every bit as important as the music.” He remembers growing up to bands like KISS, which offered an

alternate-reality experience. “That impacted me so much as a kid,” Bailer said. “I never lost that. That’s what we try to do at our show. It’s not just three guys standing up there playing music. It’s an event.” Punch Drunk Cabaret will be performing on Sunday, Aug. 13, in Riverside Park during Ribfest and it’s not the first time the band has headed west to perform in Kamloops. “It was a great, great time,” Bailer said. “That was one of the key places where somebody brought nursing home residents out and some of them were so incredibly entertained.”

KTW announces winners of Outside the Box

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Commodore co-owner Dino Bernardo checks out the new Kamloops This Week newspaper box in front of his Victoria Street business on Wednesday. The box was designed by Kamloops artist Sandra Pasmen, earning her second place in the Outside the Box competition. Spot all 14 different artistic designs on streets downtown and in North Kamloops.

A steam train, tournament and view of rolling hills are just some Kamloops themes that earned artists accolades during Kamloops This Week’s Outside the Box competition. KTW challenged artists to redesign 14 old newspaper boxes and more than 80 people applied. Professional artists and students alike earned the opportunity to showcase their unique interpretations on local streets. The finished boxes have since been placed downtown and in North Kamloops. The winners have also been announced. Zach Abney won first place for his depiction of the historic 2141 steam engine and

the old and narrow Red Bridge, which spans across the South Thompson River connecting downtown Kamloops to the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. That box can be found on Victoria Street between Third and Fourth avenues. Second place went to Sandra Pasmen, who spent hours designing the Tournament Capital playing host to a newspaper airplane throwing tournament. Find that box outside the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge. Third place was awarded to Lindsay Tetreau for a scenic view of Kamloops’ iconic mountains and valley. Tetreau’s design is in front of Hotel 540.

Menzie goes west: Atlantic Canada indie artist on the rise JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

ylan Menzie will bring a threepiece band to Kamloops for Music in the Park. But the indie-folk artist from Atlantic Canada plays instruments in the double digits. What started with the fiddle as a teenager grew into experimentation with piano. He wasn’t much for the keys so he moved on, adding the drums and trumpet to his musical repertoire. Throw guitar in there somewhere; the accordion even makes a cameo from time to time. “I can’t really play

accordion that well,” Menzie told KTW in a phone interview from Charlottetown. “I pick it up for a drone sound.” Menzie got his start performing in his home province of Prince Edward Island, a place the 22-year-old said has been supportive — almost to a fault — in growing his music career, which he has pursued full-time since graduating from high school. “People will lie to you and tell you it’s good, but it’s not good,” he said. “There’s not enough constructive criticism going on.” But the young burgeoning musician is modest.

Dylan Menzie is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter who hails from Charlottetown, PEI. He will be in Kamloops on Wednesday for a show at Music in the Park.

Sample the music online at kamloopsthisweek.com Arm Roots and Blues Festival, festival artistic director Peter North told KTW he scouted Menzie at a music showcase, immediately booking him for this

year’s festival. North said Menzie is a developed artist for his age, something that harkens back to the kid’s seeming curiosity for a variety

of instruments. He has been likened to renowned Canadian singersongwriter Joel Plaskett and was tapped for Serena Ryder’s recent

tour, opening under the lights amongst a home-town crowd in Charlottetown. That tour also stopped in Kamloops last month. “It was amazing,” Menzie said. “She [Ryder] killed it. She was amazing.” Asked about his musical influences, he said he takes inspiration from great vocalists: Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Joshua Tillman also known as Father John Misty, Tom Petty and Menzie’s East Coast counterpart, Plaskett. “He [Plaskett] plays tenor guitar,” Menzie said. “He inspired me to pick it up. It feels like you’re playing a violin. It was very familiar to me. I just kept playing.” Menzie released

his sophomore album Adolescent Nature in 2016. He is already almost finished writing his next one, which he hopes to start recording this fall after summer touring. As he makes his way across the country, Menzie is looking forward to his first time on the west coast. This weekend, he’s playing in Salmon Arm. Next week, he’ll take the stage in Kamloops. “I’m excited because I’ve never seen mountains before,” Menzie said. “The closest thing I’ve seen is Cape Breton has some big hills.” Menzie plays at Riverside Park on Wednesday. The show is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

he continuous archipelago of the San Juan Islands extends along the ocean’s bed from the southeast tip of Vancouver Island to the northern part of Fidalgo Island. Orcas Island claims centre stage and is our first of two stops during a weekend escape. There are a number of ways to check out the treasures on Orcas. Kayaks come lashed onto car tops, road bikes are geared by pedal pushers and, as we discover, there are mighty mopeds that will go anywhere we please. “It’s like driving a car,” John instructs, as he takes us through our crash course (no pun intended) of Moped 101.

Harley, I feel a rush of adrenaline as soon as I straddle its saddle. Then with a kickstart and a throttle thrust, we’re off. Before I know it, I’m feeling like a motorcycle mamma. Our winding road bisects pastoral settings where cattle roam and farmland grasses billow in the breeze. It parallels the craggy seashore hosting gnarled Arbutus trees and rock-hugging firs. The setting is serene, the pace is relaxed and under cloudless skies we mosey along on island time, letting our cares wash away in the salty air. Peninsulas and inlets are a frequent lay of the land and one of

the most picturesque is the little nook of Deer Harbor. Terraced on its hillside and overlooking berths and boats is our home for the night, The Resort At Deer Harbor. As well as capturing the shoreline view, our romantic abode and private hot tub boasts key ingredients to keep us ensconced for days — if not for our yearning desire to hit the open road. The restaurant at West Sound serves up scrumptious pie and the island’s hub of Eastsound offers a farmer’s market. There are artisan galleries to browse, gift shops to explore and a choice of culinary options

While embracing more than 5,000 glorious acres, it offers everything from a lake stroll to the escalation of Mount Constitution’s 600metre summit where the panorama is pristine. As well as 48 kilometres of hiking routes, this fourth largest Washington state park offers five lakes, 150 campsites and just about every outdoor adventure you could imagine. The day goes quickly and, by the time we retrace our tracks, I’m feeling pretty comfy on my almighty moped.

The balancing act between throttle and brake are well co-ordinated. My shoulders have detached from my earlobes. As we putt putt into Orcas Village, I hum Born To Be Wild. A similar euphoric experience is provided the following day while we tour San Juan Island in a scootcar. What’s a scootcar, you ask? Best described, it looks like a stubbynosed beetle bug on training wheels. The hybrid is actually a cross between a car and a moped and travels at a maximum of 50 kilometres per hour. While harnessed in, we cuddle side by side and once again experiFebruary 25 4 days

encing the island offerings at our own pace. After zooming to San Juan’s west side, we dismount and take time to check out the living museum at Lime Kiln Point State Park. A short gravel path leads to the rocky promontory where orcas, otters and other sea life hang out. The aquatic-loving creatures are drawn to the area’s deep water wall and the strait’s exposed rocky point. In spite of our eagle eyes, we have to depart somewhat disappointed. Before heading back to Friday Harbor, we stop for lunch at the seaside village of Roche Harbour. Brick-paved pathways take us on a tour of the beautiful English gardens that spill over trellises, planters and pots. They wind around to a Victorian style mansion once home to the McMillin family, lead to the Historical $695

Victorian Hotel De Haro and take boaters back to their marina berths. Vibrant California poppies border our return country cruise and, with the pedal to the metal, we rumble past Friday Harbor House where we’ll later retreat. We scoot along the main Spring Street where a string of trendy gift shops unite with funky galleries and finally zip into the local service station to refill. Over the entire 70-kilometres round trip, people have looked, waved and chuckled. Maybe they were intrigued or some even envious. By the look on our faces, it was obvious. We had a blast. And all on a measly gallon of gas. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate. For more, go online to travelwriterstales.com.

Religion can’t gloss over lack of faithfulness

According to the Bible, “hell will be filled with

eligious people are often like Peppermint Patty of the comic strip Peanuts, created by cartoonist Charles Schulz. In one series, Schulz pictures Patty trying to write a school book report on The Brothers Karamazov. The only problem is she hasn’t read the book. With pencil in one hand and telephone in the other, she calls her friend Charlie Brown to see if he can tell her what the book is all about. At the other end of the line, Charlie says, “Well, there are these three brothers, see, and . . .” At that point, Patty breaks in on Charlie, puts her pencil to paper and says, “Three, huh? Thanks Charlie, I can

fake the rest.” Patty must have had a hard time faking the rest of her report because the following day’s strip has her talking to Marcie: “Let’s say, I never really read The Brothers Karamazov. And let’s say that instead of writing a report, I gave the teacher some flowers. Do you think that would fool her?” Marcie replies with a great degree of

sarcasm: “Absolutely sister. Teachers are very naïve. Flower trick fools them every time.” The comic ends with Patty grumbling: “I hate talking to you, Marcie.” Life is not a comic strip but religion is like a gift of flowers. When offered at the right time as an expression of love, both religion and flowers can be very meaningful. But when either flowers or religion are used to try to smooth over or distract from one’s mistakes, they become a sham. Just as flowers cannot wipe away a student’s failure or correct

a husband or wife’s unfaithfulness, religion cannot gloss over our lack of spiritual faithfulness to God. According to the Bible, hell will be filled with religious people who tried to come to God on their own terms. They will be people who believed in God and went to church all of their lives without ever discovering the real difference between religion and the Lord. From the beginning of time, man’s real need has not been for religion but for a saviour. Christ came to

save people from two things: sin and religion. By far the most difficult task is to save religious people who, because of their religions, feel they do not need a saviour. The TV preacher James Robison once said on his program: “I hate religions. I want to preach at the funeral of all religions and I want to write the [Hebrew] word Ichabod, meaning, “the glory has departed” over all religious activities. “I am not talking about religions to you. I’m talking about Christ who is life. We don’t wear religion to church on Sundays. We take Christ home with us from the church.” Oswald J. Smith wrote a little pamphlet titled, Which Church Saves? He talks about his

conversation with a Protestant, a Roman Catholic and a Greek Orthodox member. The Catholic asked him: “Must I become a Protestant?” “Not at all. I would not waste my time trying to convert you to Protestantism in order to be saved.” “Well then, since I am a Catholic and my friend here is a member of Orthodox Church, you must believe that one of these religions could save us.” “I’m afraid not.” “But you are a Protestant — I don’t understand. You don’t believe that Protestantism can save either?” “Not at all. Protestantism has no more ability to save than Catholicism.” “I’m amazed to hear you say that. How then can we be saved?”

“My friends, you cannot be saved by membership in any religion or denomination, but only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten son.” Matthew 1:21: “She [Mary] will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins.” Acts 4:12: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” ryanmitra225@gmail. com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
