No new biosolids will be trucked to the Buse Creek Ranch, a crowd of about 40 people was told at the Barnhartvale Community Hall on Wednesday night. A meeting was held by the Campbell family, which owns the ranch, and representatives from Sylvis, the contractor responsible for distributing the City of Kamloops’ biosolids. Sylvis partnered with the ranch last year to spread biosolids on the fields as part of a oneyear pilot project. Biosolids are treated sewage sludge used as fertilizer, a practise that has come under scrutiny in the Kamloops area. The meeting was aimed at clarifying misconceptions about biosolids and wasn’t intented to change people’s opinions, rancher Ian Campbell told KTW. At the end of the two-hour meeting, many concerned Barnhartvale residents said they felt no more comfortable than before. “Just a lot of spin. I don’t think they really answered a whole lot of questions in entirety,” Rod Blace said. “It was a sales pitch from Sylvis, really,”

TNRD Area L director Ken Gillis said. While the province requires land application tests for the presence of various metals in biosolids, the provincial guidelines don’t cover every potential chemical that could be present in biosolids — a concern many residents raised on Wednesday. “That’s where the concern is. It’s not the smell, it’s what is affecting people’s health and what is the long-term [affect] going to be, ” one woman told two men from Sylvis. Sylvis representative Chris Cooper told the crowd that while chemicals such as hydrocarbons and flame retardants are present in biosolids, current independent research has determined they don’t exist in high enough concentrations to pose a risk to human health. Other concerns included a perceived lack of transparency with the pilot project and the smell from the biosolids that were spread. “The smell was unacceptable,” Campbell said, followed by an apology to the crowd. Biosolids are known to stink, but the reason this batch was more potent is because it originated from the City of Kamloops’ stockpile that is up to three years old and has had more hydrogen sulphide gas built up from

bacteria over time, Cooper said. “Had we known that was going to be the product coming up to Robbins Range, we would not have brought that there,” Campbell said. The Buse Creek Ranch won’t be spreading any more biosolids on its private fields, aside from a 500-tonne stockpile already there. Those biosolids are said to have come from the city’s daily production and are not the years-old biosolids spread last summer. “It was looked at as a one-year project, see how it works, how does the land respond,” Campbell said, noting the only ill effect was the odour. To date, Sylvis has distributed about half of the municipality’s 12,500 stockpiled tonnes, but won’t be fulfilling its contract to continue managing the aged biosolids until it can reach an odour-management agreement with the city, Cooper told KTW. No response has come yet from the city, which is reviewing how it manages biosolids. Sylvis’ management of the city’s daily production of the city’s biosolids, however, will continue until the contract expires in July, Cooper said.

THE LASTTHE STRAW? LAST STRAW? JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor will be keeping tabs on a waste-reduction initiative recently announced by the City of Vancouver to ban plastic straws and foam containers — but don’t expect a similar pitch locally anytime soon. “Councillors around the table are going to be watching closely what happens in Vancouver,” Donovan Cavers told KTW. “They’re a pretty big municipality, so if anyone can pull it off and make it work, it will be them as far as municipalities in B.C.” Vancouver council earlier this month approved a zerowaste strategy with a ban in place, among other initiatives, by June 2019. A report by the Globe and Mail indicates the community will be the first in Canada to ban plastic drinking straws. The ban will apply to restaurants and vendors, but will not affect consumers who wish to buy straws for their homes. Cavers said anything to reduce waste is worth looking at closely because landfilling is expensive. “The rates people pay when they drop off, $160 a tonne, basically just covers the cost,” he said. Cavers said he is not looking to bring the straw-ban idea to council in the immediate future because the city’s sustainability committee is small and busy working on the B.C. Energy Step Code (provincial updates to add green initiatives to the building code) and an anti-idling bylaw, which will soon be back before council. While there may be little political appetite to ban straws

‘It’s probably going to be a thriving business’ But great uncertainty remains about legal cannabis sales among retailers, city staffers and landlords

“It’s a guessing game,” Smith told KTW. “The kind of money that it could take to participate in the market in Kamloops, at that point, it could be companies from Vancouver or Alberta. Then all you’re left with here is people in Kamloops with $15-an-hour jobs. When you’re dealing with things like this that affect the moral fabric of a community, I think you’re better off dealing with people who live here and pay their mortgage here and buy their groceries here.” Smith is not alone. KTW spoke with owners or managers at six of the eight retail cannabis storefronts in the Tournament Capital, and all but one expressed a similar concern. Chuck McCarthy, who owns Weeds on 12th Street in North Kamloops, said out-of-town retailers are bad for business and, ultimately, bad for consumers. “I’ve been dead against anybody from out of town opening up shops in Kamloops,” he said. “Some of our shops are owned by people from out of town and they don’t give a shit about Kamloops. They’re using our young people and taking our money. I don’t believe in that.” The Canna Clinic storefront in Dufferin, which was raided by police and shuttered on May 7, was part of a retail chain based in the Lower Mainland. Prior to the raid, the location was the subject of dozens of complaints from area residents. Earlier this month, Kamloops council approved zoning that established where pot stores will

be allowed to set up shop once weed is legalized — essentially a strip each in the downtown core and the Tranquille business area, plus a handful of smaller pockets. That leaves the operators of current cannabis stores — all but two of which are located outside the designated zoning — with a dilemma: Move to a location in the proper zoning (which are expensive, retailers say, and hard to find), wait for legalization and apply for site-specific zoning or carry the lease on a vacant storefront until legalization has taken place. Leaving aside the overarching uncertainty surrounding provincial retail licensing, the issues remain: Most local shops can’t afford to carry a lease on an empty storefront in a properly zoned location, nor can they manage to carry their current lease without operating while waiting for the results of a site-specific zoning application with city hall — a process that takes an estimated three months. “Best-case scenario, which is still pretty bad, is you’re holding a lease and just hoping you get through,” Smith said. “What they’re basically asking us to do is to go out blindfolded and find yourself a spot and hope, financially, you don’t take a hit.” Christine King, one of the partners behind the Sacred Leaf dispensary in Aberdeen, said pot retailers knew the risk going in, but argued that should not preclude them from a fair shot at success post-legalization. “Council and staff would say,

‘You took the chance, you’re in an illegal business,’” she said. “Yes, we did. But we did it with the conviction that it was going to be legal and we were going to be part of it.” Marvin Kwiatkowski, the City of Kamloops’ development and engineering services director, said the market will dictate which shops flourish once legalization arrives. “It isn’t really up to us. That gets into the business case and the economics,” he said. “But we’ve heard this over the years a lot, when the Walmarts were coming to town or all of the big chains. We don’t have a policy on that. It’s free enterprise. It’s an interesting question, but I think we’ve moved beyond that now. You have to adapt.” Local realtor Mona Murray, who specializes in commercial and retail leasing, said Kamloops landlords are being wary when it comes to pot shops, especially with so many unanswered ques-

tions lingering about B.C.’s retail regulations. “Not many landlords are open to that business, mostly because landlords are uncertain with the legislation and how it’s going to roll out,” she said, noting she gets one to two calls a week from potential tenants looking to open weed storefronts. “There is enough uncertainty and enough concerns raised that we have very few landlords who will even talk to us about having a dispensary in their building. There are so many questions and that’s why the landlords are backing away from it.” Murray said she knows of at least one cannabis retailer sitting on an empty storefront in the downtown zoning area and another is rumoured to be doing the same thing in a vacant space near Northhills Centre. The downtown location is believed to be leased to

a Vancouver-based cannabis retail chain with locations in Ontario and B.C. Multiple marijuana retailers told KTW landlords in the designated zoning areas were trying to charge as much as double rent for dispensaries — a move Murray said she would be surprised to see among her clients. But, she added, the decision on leasing ultimately rests with the owner, not the retailer. “There is vacancy,” she said. “But it’s up to the landlords to decide who they want in their building.” Kwiatkowski said he thinks the Kamloops cannabis market will be bigger post-legalization than it is now — eight shops spread out across the city. “The number of stores, we’re probably going to have that number if not more, maybe 12 or 15,” he said. “But how will it all shake out? It’s evolving. We don’t know the full look of the provincial regulations. I think they’re going to run it fairly tight, but it’s a whole new landscape. It’s probably going to be a thriving business and it’s probably going to be fairly profitable.” McCarthy said he is hopeful his store will still be in operation postlegalization, but said it’s far too early to know for sure. “Nobody knows. Nobody has a clue. Anyone who says they’re going to make it is full of shit,” McCarthy said. “Everything is a shot in the dark. Everything is up in the air. We’ve got to play it piece by piece.” Smith said his concern is tempered by cautious long-term optimism. He is hoping Phyven is successful in its eventual application to the B.C. government, whenever Victoria decides to open that process to potential private retailers. “This is the first time in our lifetime that a market like this has been created out of thin air,” he said. “So it’s hard to say. We’re optimistic, but there are so many moving variables in it. It’s hard to predict. But I am hopeful for us. It’s been a trade in B.C. forever. B.C. is a very mature cannabis culture. You just don’t see the problems cropping up until it happens.”

eighton Smith is worried. It might seem like a strange feeling for the operator of a pot shop to have with the clock ticking down to marijuana legalization in Canada, but the operator of Phyven Herbal Dispensary said he fears the City of Kamloops is setting local cannabis retailers up for failure — potentially paving the way for larger out-of-town chain retailers to move into the market.

WELCOME TO THE NEW NORM

ven if you fall into the camp that refuses to accept the reality of climate change, it’s clear B.C. is going through a rough patch when it comes to extreme weather events. Though we have been relatively lucky in Kamloops, our neighbours in Cherry Creek and down in the South Okanagan have not been as fortunate as they endured flooding of all levels. The nature of the flooding is a little different from last year, but flooding it is as creeks are overflowing their banks and Osoyoos Lake, in particular, is passing historic maximums. It appears Kamloops will escape major flooding as the North and South Thompson rivers approach their peak flows. As the water levels begin to recede, the wildfire season, aided by August-like temperatures in May, has already begun. Firefighters are busy battling a big blaze in the Peace region, while fires closer to home — near Tunkwa Lake and in the Deadman-Vidette area — have already brought back memories of the smoke-filled summer of 2017. Regardless of the reason, these events are indicators the climate is changing. It may settle down over the next few years or be more limited in scope. Or it may be something with which we have to learn to live. That isn’t limited to our personal expectations of what constitutes spring and summer in B.C., but governments of all levels need to take extreme weather events into account when budgeting, just as they do for winter snow. The same goes for businesses that rely heavily on tourism for their bottom line. The tourism sector was already concerned about the ongoing effect of stories covering last year’s flooding and fires in the province and are working on counteracting the image potential tourists may get from the current flooding situation. Like it or not, this may be the new norm.

A new target to miss

.C. Environment Minister George Heyman has unveiled the NDPGreen government’s brave new greenhouse-gas emission reduction targets without giving any real hint of how these will succeed where decades of previous targets have not. The old targets from the Gordon Campbell government were based on 2007 emissions, announced as B.C. adopted Canada’s first significant carbon tax on fuels in 2008. They were a 33 per cent reduction by 2020 and a breath-taking 80 per cent by 2050. Former premier Christy Clark acknowledged a couple of years ago the first target wasn’t going to be met as her government worked overtime to develop a liquefied natural gas export industry. Heyman formalized that in legislation presented last week. The new target is a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, based on 2007 levels. The 2050 target of 80 per cent less carbon dioxide and equivalent gases remains, looking about as achievable now as it did when it was set a decade ago. To make it, barring some sort of technological miracle, much of B.C. will be back to using horses and buggies, if not depopulated. Reporters had a brief hallway scrum with Heyman to ask about the strategy. I’ve been following this stuff since Canada signed on to the failed Kyoto Protocol in 1992 and the political soft-shoe dance hasn’t changed much.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA Reporter: Aren’t these pretty ambitious targets, minister? Heyman: “They are ambitious and we’ll be detailing over the next months particular measures, whether it’s in transportation, whether it’s in energy savings, in buildings and homes, whether it’s reductions in emissions in industry, about how we propose to bring those down. Reporter: What’s different now from 10 years ago? Heyman: “We’re building a plan. We expect to work with all industries to see how we’re going to meet the reductions they need to make overall. What we certainly don’t want to do is disadvantage any industry in B.C.” Reporter: Do these new targets take into account your latest incentives for LNG Canada? Heyman: “We have to see how we can meet an overall industrial emission reduction target and where any increase in certain industries would fit into that. Our government was very clear to the proponent that we’re setting targets and it all had to fit.” Translation: Building a plan

means there still isn’t one. Not disadvantaging B.C. industries is a fabrication. Powdered cement is already being imported from the U.S. and China. How far are we from reducing B.C. emissions by a third, as 2020 approaches? I wish I could tell you, but neither the federal nor provincial governments are very forthcoming with that information. The most recent data I could find from either source is from 2015, showing a modest reduction between 2005 and 2015. The previous B.C. government provided some emissiontracking data as the carbon tax started going up in small steps. It showed a big drop-off after 2008, which everyone except then-environment minister Terry Lake acknowledged was a result of a worldwide recession and financial crisis that ground investment and construction to a halt. The B.C. economy was ticking along pretty well in 2007, lots of cars and trucks being bought, lots of construction and so on. Nothing like today, however, with population up substantially and concrete high-rise construction everywhere you look in major urban centres. Our gasoline prices are at record highs and, despite that, I’m pretty sure our greenhousegas emissions are, too. The only real plan so far is to keep raising taxes until emissions fall.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLL LESSON IS NEEDED ON CANNABIS RESULTS PIQUE Editor: I couldn’t help but notice the recent KTW online poll on electoral system had 61 per cent preferring first-pastthe-post. The poll might not be scientific, but probably reflects the general attitude of those of us living outside of the Lower Mainland. It also stems from a dislike of the current NDP-Green alliance running the province and likely a voting public more favourable to casting ballots for the B.C. Liberals. In the last election, if left to the Interior to decide our fate, we would have a B.C. Liberal government right now. So why would those living in the Interior want to support the current leadership even more by allowing it to sneak in an electoral system that only helps it remain in power? Perry Grunenberg Kamloops

Editor: I don’t believe our tax dollars are being well spent by having Mounties raid the Canna Clinic marijuana store in Dufferin (‘Mounties raid marijuana store,’ May 9). Why are the authorities still determined to think about cannabis as a bad drug and a problem when it will soon be legal and is now legal as a medication? I believe it would be a good thing to pay for the RCMP to have some education on cannabis. The history of this remarkable

plant should be understood by those who have been indoctrinated by their system/agenda with lies and so much propaganda regarding the cannabis plant. We could save the planet with the plant as it is a renewable resource, grows anywhere, has many uses and could replace toxic byproducts used now to make plastics, nylons, rubbers, etc. Marijuana’s use is endless and it is non-toxic. Please educate the ignorant public and ignorant RCMP as to the

many uses of the plant and its history. Big Oil, among others, paid off many to demonize the plant and it is is crime in itself that these people know nothing about its history and how all of these lies came about to keep it illegal in the first place. There are plenty of crack shacks in Kamloops that need raiding, but they are the real criminals and they could have guns, so they are not bothered. What is the excuse for this? Denise Powers Kamloops

ABOUT THAT FUNDING FOR THE ARTS . . . Editor: How exciting to see federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau fly into Kamloops to present a cheque for $180,000 to the visionary board and management of Western Canada Theatre in response to its request for funding through the cultural infrastructure fund. It was even more exciting to learn WCT will be using the funding to replace worn-out carpets and to install (hopefully) self-flushing toilets in both the Sagebrush and Pavilion theatres. This group’s vision of the future of the arts in Kamloops is truly breathtaking and I congratulate all of

them involved in the endeavour. I am, however, curious about one thing — will the carpets be beige or grey? Glen Cairns Kamloops

DEVELOPER CULOS NEEDS TO GROW UP Editor: I just read the article concerning developer Mike Culos’ displeasure with the city for being denied approval to build condos on property he owns near the the former Keg restaurant (‘Fencing with the city downtown,’ May 23).

I agree with the city wholeheartedly. I am amazed, though, at Culos’ childish reaction to this — cutting down the beautiful trees and fencing it off. I think he needs to grow up. M. Schwarz Kamloops

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Pilings from an old bridge linking the South and North shores have been there for decades. KTW reader Sid Barrie has an interesting idea on how to utilize the pilings. What do you think of the proposal? Send your thoughts via email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

BUILD COVERED BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER Editor: I have lived in Kamloops since 1982. One of the more frequently asked questions from visiting friends while touring our area is, “What are those cement structures sticking out of the river?” The old bridge pilings in the Thompson River, west of Overlanders Bridge, certainly are an eyesore that has not been properly addressed. We seem to be the masters of procrastination. Many suggestions have come forth over the years, but alas, there the pilings sit, entrenched in the river bed forever. We are looking at the foundation for Western Canada’s longest covered bridge — albeit only for foot traffic. In Quebec’s Eastern Townships and our lovely Maritime provinces, these quaint and romantic bridges were once commonplace. I can envision a majestic structure stretching proudly over the South

Thompson River to tie in some of these historical builds from east to west. Look at the Hartland, N.B., success story featuring the world’s largest covered bridge. It is time we start thinking outside the box to come up with a solution to this eyesore in our beautiful river. Look at the small community of Souris, Man., and North Vancouver’s swinging bridge attractions. Tourism appears to be the focus locally in keeping Kamloops in the forefront over Kelowna. Let’s supplement our Rocky Mountaineer Tours, the 2141 steam train, First Nations museums, the ranching industry and vineyards. The inside wall of the covered bridge could feature photos and historical facts (think Robert Service and Billy Miner) in a mini-museum/art gallery type of presentation. Construction would creatively utilize environmentally friendly material: Indigenous wood, laminate supporting beams, solar roof panels and skylights

incorporated into a brilliant metal roof for snowload protection. Local talent could be supplemented by unemployed people as a project to teach skills in the construction trade. The bridge could add dimension to the Rivers Trail. For security/liability concerns, fireresistant material, sufficient lighting and accessibility for all must be addressed. Doors would be built on both the north and south ends, with the option of closing and locking during colder months. The primary focus should be historically significant, simplicity and functionality. Although hideous and forgotten, the foundation pillars are here. This could be Kamloops’ “build it and the will come” project. It would comply with our environment strategies with just a little bit of planning. Let’s strike a committee. Sid Barrie Kamloops

PETITION SEEKS TO TACKLE NOISE POLLUTION Editor: Every spring we get to throw open our windows and let in the fresh air, only to experience a sometimes continuous assault on our ears by vehicle noise. Every year I wonder when Kamloops residents are going to start a conversation about this city’s noise pollution. I am not referring to the necessary and unavoidable sound of ambulances, buses and delivery trucks. It’s the completely unnecessary noise of motorcycles with

straight pipes and the modified exhaust systems of wanna-be race-car drivers and insecure truck show-offs. These vehicles can often be heard from many hundreds of metres away. When on the street near them, it can be unbearable. Do the people of Kamloops think it’s OK for the quiet enjoyment of their neighbourhoods, particularly the downtown area, to be disrupted by these insecure attention-seekers and their infantile need to draw

attention to themselves? Do tourists and visitors find this interesting or enjoyable? I doubt it. Noise pollution threatens the livability of any city. There are laws in the Motor Vehicle Act that address excessive vehicle noise, but the police don’t enforce them because we don’t tell them to do so. RCMP could easily find ways to single out these vehicles directly or work with bylaws staff to identify them for

inspection and enforcement. If you’re tired of having the peaceful enjoyment of your surroundings disrupted by ignorant, inconsiderate attentionseekers, please consider finding the online petition that asks the City of Kamloops to start working with law enforcement to get these vehicles to comply with MVA noise guidelines. You can find the petition online at change.org under End Kamloops Noise Pollution. Mike Williamson Kamloops

Red light camera back after road upgrades JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s lone red-light camera will return to Fortune Drive and Eighth Street when intersection upgrades wrap up this summer. “We’re replacing what was there,” Darren Crundwell, the city’s capital projects manager, told KTW. Construction is underway to improve visibility and safety at the busy intersection in North Kamloops. That work has raised questions about what will happen to the red-light camera at that intersection, which is the only one of its kind in Kamloops. The B.C. NDP government has said it will upgrade red-light cameras to catch speeders at dangerous intersections in the province. Government is analyzing data to determine which cameras will be upgraded. Crundwell said it won’t apply to Fortune and Eighth. “They’re probably talking about highways,” he said. “They don’t have jurisdiction in the city.” Eagle Rock Construction is carrying out construction on the intersection, which is expected to be completed by the end of June. The aim is to improve the turning lane and crossing at the northeast corner, as vehicles leave Fortune and travel north on Eighth. Most work will be done Mondays to Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the possibility of evening and weekend work. Drivers should expect delays. A recommended detour route is via Seventh Street. Buses are also being detoured down that road. Trucks that typically take Eighth Street to connect to the Halston Connector are expected to exit Fortune Drive at 12th Street.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS/KTW Work on improving part of the intersection at Fortune Drive and Eighth Street on the North Shore is expected to be completed by the end of June. The finished product is intended to emulate the turning lane and crosswalk at the northwest corner of McGill Road and Summit Drive, next to TRU.

The BEST paystub will: • Be within the last 30 days • Show deductions like taxes, EI, CPP • Show year-to-date earnings Weak job letters and paystubs will require 2 years Notice of Assessments and/or T-4s to help establish how you are paid and how consistent the income is.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Deadman fire grows to 100 ha BC Wildfire Service crews are attacking a 100-hectare wildfire near Deadman-Vidette Road, located 55 kilometres northwest of Kamloops. Resources on site include 45 firefighters, four pieces of heavy equipment, one helicopter and air tanker support from the Kamloops air base. Fire crews first arrived at the blaze Wednesday night and ground crews remained overnight. As of KTW press time Thursday, there were no reports of structures threatened by the Allie Lake fire, but there are scattered properties in the area along Deadman-Vidette Road. The fire is located near the easternmost border of the massive 2017 Elephant Hill fire, which started in July and grew to more than 192,000 hectares in size, but is unrelated to that blaze.

Prince Escalus may have had his hands full trying to resolve the dispute between the Capulet and Montague families, but through the pen of a Kamloops student, he also now faces a province-splitting dilemma. The Shakespearean character, who makes just three appearances in the play Romeo and Juliet, is the voice Jacob Wilson chose for his entry in CBC’s 2018 Shakespeare Selfie Student Writing Challenge. The Grade 8 student

at South Kamloops secondary now waits to learn if he will be chosen from the 20 finalists for the top prize in the grades seven to nine category. Another winner will come from the grades 10 to 12 group of 20. The winners will be announced next Wednesday. Jacob rose to the challenge when his English teacher, Jamie Topp, assigned the students to create something based on the rules of the competition — write a soliloquy or monologue in the voice of a Shakespearean character based on a promi-

HOMESTAY FAMILIES

nent news, pop culture or current affairs event from the past year. As someone who likes to keep up on the news, Jacob chose the dispute between Alberta and British Columbia over the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline. He said he opted for it because he wanted his composition to be in the voice of the Verona peacemaker prince — the class studied the play earlier — so it made sense to choose a subject that perhaps requires that same skill set Escalus has. Jacob used an online translator to turn modern phrasing into Shakespearean prose.

It’s now up to children’s writer Kenneth Oppel to decide among the finalists. Oppel knows a thing or two about winning awards for writing, having received the Governor General’s Literacy Award for English-language children’s literature. His resume boasts plenty of other awards, including the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children award, which he has received four times. The winners will receive a one-year subscription to OwlCrate, a monthly delivery of a box of new hardcover books, and their schools will receive 50 young-adult novels.

I bring thee here today from lands afar We came together in airplanes rather than car. Queen Notley over Rocky Mountains you cometh, King Horgan the Coast is where you are frometh. I have consulted First Nations before we met, The Trans Mountain pipeline how they do fret! The chief would like the problem solved and is thankful that I, Prince Escalus, am involved. Queen Notley shouts “OIL” to prove her point King Horgan’s voice made her out of joint. Queen Notley stands for the economy now And King Horgan represents the environmental vow. We will start the debate, I will listen close Now it’s time, discussion starts for you both. King Horgan starts to speak and says, in harmony, The pipeline might be good for the economy But sacred lands it will go through Our proud history, it will be a ruin. Sea vessels wilt crowd our crisp waters With expansion our nature will falter. My true promise to Prince Weaver of the party Green Was end pipeline expansion as they were ner keen Wait! Wait! Interrupts the Notley Queen I also have points to make us between. If we stop this project the economy will be impacted And we both would be less funded.

Alas, the First Nations Chief spoke his truth Nerin I thinketh for neither side to lose We are best to find common ground by finding the way In which we speaketh and what it is we say.

Kamloops woman helping to shape jury changes DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Within 20 minutes of performing her duty as forewoman and announcing the guilty verdict in a murder trial, Michaela Swan and the others with whom she spent four days deliberating were sent home. “I walked through an open parking lot with 11 other strangers and returned to normal life,” Swan told a federal committee charged with looking at how better to help jurors. “I had Sunday to reconnect with my family and was back to work Monday.” Swan, who works with Interior Health, knew she had to deal with lingering issues.

One of the ways Swan did that was to write to the provincial government with her concerns and, when she heard of the federal government establishing a committee to look at the issue, writing to it. That missive led to her being called to Ottawa within days to testify about her experiences. Swan said she welcomes not only the committee’s 80-page report and 11 recommendations released this week, but the B.C. government’s decision to immediately take action by creating a new juror-support program that will provide free counsel-

The plan is to provide in-person counselling, but options will be included for telephone and video sessions, as well as a toll-free phone number. The plan is to continue sessions for those who might need it after a six-month timeline, based on case by case consideration. Swan said the support is needed and she sees the province’s announcement as a start — but she added it needs to look at the 11 recommendations in the federal report. She said she was honoured to see some of her words repeated in the report and its recommendations. During her testimony, Swan said several aspects needed to be

After nearly four decades at Radio NL, Peter Olsen — known as the Morning Mayor — will no longer be the voice of the morning show. “It’s a new chapter in my life,” Olsen told KTW on Thursday afternoon.

He has woken up Kamloops residents during his morning shift with his deep voice, belly laugh and conversations with New York City cab driver Gabby Cabby. “It’s been great, but it’s time to move on,” Olsen said.

Radio NL announced Olsen’s retirement on Twitter, noting it is the “end of an era.” “Peter is a cornerstone of the NL family and this community so we are sad to see him go but also wishing he and his family the best,” the Tweet states. The station highlighted well wishes to Olsen using the hashtag #ThankYouPeterOlsen. Earlier this month, news broke that NL Broadcasting had been sold one year after it first changed hands.

Water level drops inWater le Cherry Creek; sandbags Cherry C being filled in Savona being fi MICHAEL POTESTIO

RETIREMENT RESIDENCE? Our Retirement Living Consultants can help.

As flows in Cherry Creek begin to subside, flood concern is now shifting west to Savona. “The creek is down — way down,” said Area J director Ronaye Elliott, who lives in Cherry Creek, just 10 minutes west of Kamloops. She said the water level appears to be receding every day. The creek breached its banks earlier this month, causing flooding around many lowlying properties. Flood waters cut through chunks of bank — most notably along Highway 1 near the Lazy Acres Ranch, which crews from the Ministry of Transportation have since filled in. Ministry spokesperson Danielle Pope said crews completed work on the embankment last Thursday. Cherry Creek at Beaton Road is now just a trickle compared to flows at the beginning of the month when water was rushing over the road, eventually washing out the culvert beneath. “It’s a mess,” Elliott said of the flood damage to Beaton Road, noting the asphalt is gone and residents still need to use a detour. An evacuation order for two properties on Beaton Road was lifted last week, but an evacuation alert remains. Elliott said staff from the Ministry of Environment have told her the flows in the creek are not expected to come back up. “Evidently, where Cherry Creek flows from, the majority of the snow pack has dissipated,” she said. Though conditions are easing in Cherry Creek, water levels from Kamloops Lake are on the rise, putting Savona resi-

dents at risk, Elliott said. “It’s coming up gradually every day,” she said. Thompson-Nicola Regional District spokesperson Michelle Nordstrom said the regional district continues to watch the lake level. “We’re basically just in monitoring mode right now,” Nordstrom said. “There’s sand and sandbags that have been dropped off down in the Savona area and people have been filling sandbags and putting them around their properties.” Nordstrom could not confirm how many homes are at risk from flood waters. “It’s getting pretty high and people are making sure that they’re getting their sandbags out just in preparation, but it could also be cresting,” she said. Both the North and South Thompson rivers that run into Kamloops Lake remain high, but barring any heavy rain, the North Thompson could see peak flows this week, which would also lead to peak levels in Kamloops Lake as well, said B.C. River Forecast Centre head David Campbell. The river forecast centre’s May 15 snow index shows the North Thompson sitting at six per cent below normal and the South Thompson at seven per cent below normal. Nordstrom said the possibility of Kamloops Lake hitting peak flows this week is a good sign. “At least once we reach the peak of the spring freshet season, everything starts to abate after that,” she said, noting officials will wait and see how that peak impacts properties. There is a high streamflow advisory in place for both the North and South Thompson rivers. A high streamflow advisory

I have pictures posted of me engaged in my favourite pastime — running in the trails — sweating, tired and wearing no make-up first thing in the morning.

Such a scan will involve aerial observation of 140-hectare area where the fire was burning, added Catherall. Air tankers were initially used as part of a multi-pronged approach to containing the fire, which started on April 15 and is believed to have been humancaused. That approach included the use of heavy equipment and helicopters, as well as 70 members of the BC Wildfire Service. Some of those firefighters will begin to be pulled away from the fire now that is has been contained, said Catherall. No buildings were affected by the blaze, not were any injuries reported.

A Merritt sex offender who preyed on a young family friend in 2006 will be required to continue to register in Canada’s database of sexual criminals despite hardships the process may be causing for his Philippine bride, a judge has ruled. The man, who cannot be named under a court-ordered ban on publication, applied unsuccessfully in Kamloops

provincial court to have his reporting requirement removed by a judge. The man was sentenced to one year in jail and two years of probation in 2007 after pleading guilty to two counts of sexually touching a person under 14 years of age. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 20 years. In that case, court heard, the man took a 13-year-old girl and her brother on a trip in his tractor trailer. He had sexual contact with the girl a number of times on the trip and engaged

in intercourse with her twice following the trip’s conclusion. In an affidavit filed as part of the man’s application to have his reporting condition removed, he said the term has created problems for him and his wife, who lives in the Philippines. He also said his passport has been flagged by customs officials. Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey refused the application. “The impact on [him] is not grossly disproportionate,” Dickey said.

Guilty verdict in connection to 2015 crash TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Lillooet man has been found guilty of charges stemming from a 2015 single-vehicle crash on Highway 99 that propelled his passenger into a barbed-wire fence, where she suffered serious injuries. Gary Travis Harry was found guilty of danger-

ous driving causing bodily harm following a trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. Harry and a passenger were driving from Pavilion to Lillooet on July 7, 2015, when the SUV being driven by Harry left the road, causing his passenger to be thrown from the vehicle. Court heard Harry was driving at a speed of somewhere between 113 km/h and 126 km/h at the

time of the crash. Harry’s passenger suffered cuts to her scalp, a vertebra fracture, broken ribs and a broken leg, among other injuries. At trial, Harry said he was being tailgated prior to the wreck, but B.C. Supreme Court Justice Leonard Marchand said Harry’s driving behaviour before the crash, as described by police and civil-

ian witnesses, was objectively dangerous. “I am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Harry’s sustained acceleration, on a rather steep downhill section of Highway 99 into a curve, was a marked departure from the standard of care a reasonable driver would have exhibited when reacting to a perceived risk of being rear-ended,” Marchand said.

More visible prostitution in city? JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Prostitution may be more visible on the streets of Kamloops following a decision by Craigslist to shutter the personal ads section of its website. The online website linked people from the sex trade to Johns purchasing sex The decision by Craigslist was prompt-

ed by a bill in the United States called the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act. “That has had an impact in terms of how many individuals are in the sex trade that are now resorting to being back out on the streets,” ASK Wellness executive director Bob Hughes said, noting sex workers have said the Internet makes the profession safer, allowing them to screen clients.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said police will be targeting Johns in the future. “An issue that has been brought forward to us is involving the sex trade and targeting Johns that are participating in the sex trade,” Mueller said. “Certainly, we need to focus on that and work with our partner agencies to continue to combat that issue.”

Kamloops’ top cop is encouraged by impending legislation that will give police the power to take stoned drivers off the road when marijuana is legalized later this year. B.C.’s NDP government recently announced amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act that will allow police to

administer 90-day prohibitions to drivers impaired by drugs. There will be zero tolerance for new drivers. “Those are encouraging pieces of legislation,” Mueller said. “We’ll continue with our initiatives in the coming summer months.” Mueller said police are awaiting federal and provincial legislation to be finalized. “We continue to work with the city here on our own regu-

More than a dozen check stops were conducted, but Mueller said traffic enforcement is done every day in Kamloops.

Sakakis buy Penny Pinchers DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Originally, Kamloops firefighter David Sakaki had plans on becoming an optometrist. While studying for that profession, he joined classmates on a trip to the Philippines after one of them spearheaded a campaign to provide free eye exams and glasses to the needy. While there, the group worked with about 5,000 people who were living in a garbage dump, Sakaki said, an experience that stuck with him. Sakaki now spends his spare time away from the firehall, travelling the world in an attempt to “make a little bit of a difference,” all done with the support and involvement of his fellow firefighters and other like-minded Kamloopsians. Fundraising for the many initiatives has been an ongoing chal-

lenge, one Sakaki thinks he may have resolved after he and his wife bought the Penny Pinchers thrift store, at Fortune Drive and Eighth Street on the North Shore. The building is familiar to Sakaki as his grandfather built it years ago. The plan is to use at least 50 per cent — and, for the first couple of years, closer to 100 per cent — of profits raised after expenses are paid. The money will go to the firefighters’ charity of choice, the Burn Fund, to local charities picked by his staff and to international campaigns that see him constantly on the go. For example, the day KTW caught up with him, Sakaki was driving to Grand Forks to help in the clean-up after recent flooding. He has also driven an ambulance from partnering company Diamond Delivery to Kamloops from Montreal. The vehicle that will be sent to

Liberia, an African country dealing with a health-care system in crisis. The ambulance is named Patrick, in memory of a Liberian injured when a tree fell on his car. He was rushed to hospital on a motorcycle, but died weeks later. Medical experts believe he would have survived if there had been an ambulance to use. Sakaki is also hoping to see five ambulances and fire trucks now sitting in storage in Atlanta air-shipped to Nicaragua, a country Sakaki has visited more than two-dozen times and where he has committed to delivering 33 such vehicles. Twenty have already been sent and the five from Atlanta are expected to go once the U.S. embassy re-opens in Managua. The Central American country is facing civil strife that has seen about 76 people killed and hundreds more injured in anti-government protests.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The provincial government sees an increase in nurse practitioners and family physicians as a key solution to tackling the problem that has resulted in 780,000 British Columbians not having a family doctor. At two announcements this week in Vancouver, the government declared adding those to the system will help fuel a shift in how health care is delivered. ADRIAN DIX In the next three years, the plan is to hire 200 more family physicians and create 200 new nurse-practitioner positions as the government pushes team-based health care. In announcing what it calls a new strategy to deliver faster and improved access, primary-care networks will be created first in Burnaby, Comox, Prince George, Richmond and South Okanagan, with plans to continue to roll them out to 2021. Urgent-care centres will also be created; Interior Health has already opened one at Royal Inland Hospital. Community health centres will also be created. While costs were not included with many of the plans announced, Health Minister Adrian Dix did commit $115 million to ensure nurse practitioners who graduate or are looking for work will be able to find jobs in primary-care settings throughout B.C. During Dix’s press conference, he spoke of his own health issue of diabetes and how working with nurses and nurse practitioners has helped him control the disease. He said they play a key role in the now-evolving team approach to providing health care. He also praised his predecessor, former health minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, for creating a health clinic on the North Shore staffed with nurse practitioners, calling it a first for the province. The government will also spend $1.2 million in the next two years to create 30 more nurse practitioner education seats at the post-secondary level: 15 at UBC, 10 at the University of Victoria and five at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George. The announcements follow one in April, when the government announced it will spend $3.3 million on creating new health-care assistant seats in 11 post-secondary institutions, including 18 at Thompson Rivers University.

VANCOUVER — Metro Vancouver’s transit authority is pressing pause on a promotional campaign featuring Morgan Freeman following a report detailing allegations of misconduct against the actor. TransLink said in a statement Thursday that it has decided to halt public announcements voiced by Freeman that had been set to play in the transit system as part of a Visa Canada advertising campaign. “In light of information we’ve learned this morning of allega-

tions regarding actor Morgan Freeman, TransLink has decided to pause his voice announcements,’’ the statement said. “We will be reaching out to Visa to discuss further.’’ The allegations are based on a story from CNN, which said it spoke to 16 people about Freeman; eight said they had experienced harassment or inappropriate behaviour and eight said they had witnessed such conduct. The reported allegations include making comments about women’s bodies and unwanted touching. After the allegations were

made public, Freeman issued a statement through his publicist apologizing to anyone who may have felt “uncomfortable or disrespected’’ by his behaviour, saying that was never his intent. The actor’s distinctive voice was to be broadcast for a limited time at certain SkyTrain stations and bus routes in Vancouver to encourage commuters to tap their Visa cards as part of TransLink’s recently launched contactless payment system, which accepts credit cards and mobile wallets. Visa Canada could not immediately be reached for comment.

Canadian auto sector observers doubt U.S. will act on tariff threat Trump probe could lead to 25 per cent tariffs on vehicle imports CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian auto industry observers are reacting with shock and disbelief to news that U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation that could result in tariffs of up to 25 per cent on auto sector imports into the United States. David Adams, president of the Global Automakers of Canada, which represents Japanese car manufacturers Honda and Toyota, said the news is “perplexing’’ because tariffs would make cars more expensive in the United States, hurting the U.S. consumers Trump wants to protect. He said the harm in Canada caused by tariffs would vary depending on how severe and wide-ranging they are.

According to the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, the Canadian auto sector supports about 500,000 direct and indirect jobs. About 95 per cent of Canadian-made vehicles are exported to the United States. Associate professor Sui Sui of Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University said the tariffs could be devastating to Canada, but she doubts the U.S. will go through with them because the North American industry is so intertwined it would hurt the U.S. just as much. The White House said in a statement Wednesday that Trump had asked Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to consider whether the imports of automobiles, including trucks

and automotive parts, threaten U.S. national security. The president said in the statement that “core industries such as automobiles and automotive parts are critical to our strength as a nation.’’ Talks aimed at rewriting the North American Free Trade Agreement have stalled between the U.S. and Canada and Mexico, with the discussions at an impasse over rules for car production. The initiation of the trade investigation could be seen as an attempt to gain leverage in the talks with the two U.S. neighbours. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said that efforts to renegotiate the trade agreement could spill into next year.

Health on Ontario reserve Trudeau ‘significantly worse’ than ‘disappointed’ other First Nations: report in summit KOREA

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The physical and mental health of people living in Grassy Narrows is “significantly worse’’ than other First Nations since mercury was dumped into a river system near the northern Ontario reserve half a century ago, a new health survey suggests. The community commissioned the survey to examine the fallout of eating fish caught from nearby waterways contaminated by mercury. It found that there are fewer elders in the community, which the report suggests means that people are dying there prematurely. “The results provide clear evidence that the physical and mental health of [Grassy Narrows community] members is poorer than that of other First Nation communities in Canada

and Ontario,’’ said the report. The health and well-being of the community “cannot be understood without taking into account their history of mercury poisoning and its consequences,’’ it said. It also found that 33 per cent of residents have lost a close friend or family member to suicide, which is five times the rate documented in other Ontario First Nations. Twenty-eight per cent had attempted suicide — more than double the rate of other First Nations. “If any of you have ever had a family member or a close friend who has committed suicide, you know the anguish that it creates for each and every one of us,’’ said Donna Mergler, a mercury expert at Universite du Quebec a Montreal, who conducted the study.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Slower gulf stream could bring chilly changes GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH

ere are two interesting facts. One is that the winter temperatures in the Arctic this year were the highest ever recorded. On two days in

February, it was actually warmer at the North Pole than it was in Zurich, Switzerland. At one location in Greenland, the temperature rose to 36 C higher than the usual average for that time of year. The other interesting

fact, revealed last month in two articles in Nature, one of the world’s leading scientific journals, is that the Gulf Stream is slowing down. In fact, it is now moving more slowly that at any time in the past 1,600 years (which is as

far back as studies have gone). This could be very bad news for Western Europe. The difficulty comes in figuring out what these facts mean — if they mean anything at all and are not just

random variations of an unusually extreme kind. This is the point in the discussion at which you start to hear the climate scientists use the word “non-linear” all the time. Most people think of global warming as a smooth, gradual process. It might end up doing a lot of damage, but it will sort of creep up on you, not smack you in the face. Unfortunately, that is not how climate change has proceeded in many past cases of warming or cooling. The change can be abrupt and quite extreme — and once it has happened, it becomes the new normal, perhaps for a very long time. Like many complex systems, the climate is non-linear: it stays the same for a long time and, suddenly, some tipping point is reached and the whole thing flips into a different configuration. The warming in the Arctic is not non-linear. It’s a trend that has been continuous for decades, although it has accelerated greatly in recent years: the amount of sea-ice coverage at the point of maximum freeze-up, in late March, has been far lower between 2015 and 2018 than ever before. Indeed, we’re almost certain to see an ice-free Arctic Ocean at the end of the summer melt season at some point in the next decade. Some of the ice will reform in the following winter, but less and less of it as the years pass. Without ice cover, the water will be warmed directly by sunlight, so one day the whole ocean will be mostly icefree year-round. The focus of concern for the moment, however, is on what the warming is doing to the Greenland ice-cap. This ice is on land and, when it melts, it raises the sea level. More importantly for the near term may be the fact it is putting a large volume of fresh water into the northern Atlantic Ocean. That may be part of what is slowing the gulf stream down.

It’s a surface current of warm water from the tropics that travels at an average speed of six kilometres per hour, contains as much water as there is in all the world’s rivers and moves it all the way up to the seas between Iceland and Norway. Then the water cools off, drops to the bottom and returns southward as a deep-water cold current. The gulf stream helps keep northwestern Europe warm. England is at the same latitude as Labrador, but the average temperature is more than 10 C higher. Norway is at about the same latitude as southern Greenland. But the gulf stream has stopped entirely a number of times in the distant past, sometimes for centuries. To be more precise, it stops going so far north: it overturns, dives to the bottom and heads back south long before it reaches the latitude of European countries like Ireland, Britain and Norway. When it has done that in the past, the average temperature in those countries dropped by up to 10 C. There is reason to suspect that what was happening in those incidents was that a global warming trend was melting a lot of cool fresh water into the northern seas and blocking the gulf Ssream from getting so far north. Is that about to happen again? Nobody knows, but according to the latest studies, the gulf stream has already slowed by 15 per cent in the past 50 to 150 years. When it shut down in the past, it was abrupt and fast — non-linear, in other words. The 15 per cent slowdown is not necessarily an indicator that the whole northern branch of the current is on the brink of shutting down. Then again, it might be.

FAITH

THE REAL LEGACY OF THE CHURCH AT PENTECOST

n time for celebrating another Pentecost Sunday last week, I started reading a new book, Unbelievable: Why Neither Ancient Creeds Nor the Reformation Can Produce a Living Faith Today, authored by Episcopalian Bishop John Shelby Sponge. Sponge, a contrarian of evangelical theology and practices, has published several books depicting the doom-and-gloom scenarios about the current downward, even dangerous, slides of the church, predicting she will soon come to an end unless she gets her house in order. My own beef against the learned writer is simple: Contrary to what many believe and act, the church is God’s invention, not man’s. Therefore, I can think of no one more qualified to speak on the topic of the church than her inventor himself. The New Testament book of Acts (especially chapter 2) is the perfect place to discover God’s intention concerning the church. It’s there we see the

NARYAN MITRA

FAITH

church birthed. It’s also there we see the infant church begin to spread its wings and grow to become what God had designed it to be. Sure enough, as we look at Acts, the description of the early church (2:42-47) gives us a basic outline for what God intended her to be. This brief article is, in essence, a kind of report card on the church, an attempt to evaluate how we are doing as we hold and value our church against God’s standards for what it should be. The above passage is a basic description to understanding of God’s purpose for the church. First of all, the church, in its basic form, is invisible. Those who love Jesus Christ

with all their heart and live for Him constitute the true church, the body of Christ. We are invisible, in that our spiritual lives cannot be directly detected by the world. In reality, we belong to the collective body of Christ, whether we are alive or in heavenly glory. A church is primarily a gathering of saved people. Now, we know saved people would bring their unsaved ones to church. There’s no guarantee that just because a person is inside a building called church, they are saved. The church is also quite visible. The world cannot detect the invisible church of real Christians. They can only see the visible church of those who profess to be Christians. I believe the Lord intended the visible church to be a testimony to the world. So, when the church gathers together, she is a testimony to the world that Christ has indeed risen and is present with her. The first local assembly, Scriptures

tell us, met in Jerusalem. It consisted primarily of humble people: fishermen, farmers and some welloff folk. These people had all things in common, not the normal practice of any other church in Acts. This form of socialism was practised in Jerusalem only because of tremendous number of poor people there. Acts 2:42 delineates the basic ingredient of church life: “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship …” The church in Jerusalem was also quite the social life of her people. It wasn’t all business. The Jerusalem congregation began in the energy of the Holy Spirit and continued in that. Can we imagine Christianity starting in such a small place as Jerusalem? The apostles had been told, right before Christ left the earth, that this was to go to the uttermost parts of the world. The most basic fundamental practice to be carried out

in the church is to teach sound doctrines — that’s the reason the church gathers together. The church does not gather to feed the poor or to do soup kitchens, though these are good outreaches. Neither is the church here to raise funds, to present programs, to entertain or to give weekly devotionals. People are not to go to church to hear a pastor’s opinion, to listen to tear-jerking illustrations as they play on our emotion. The priority of the church is to teach the word of God. Many water down the message of the Church and the word of God and there’s pres-

sure to do that. Apostle Paul advised his protégé Titus: “You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.” It is sad to see today that, instead of teaching the Bible and sound doctrines, preachers are standing up and talking about their own stuff. That’s why the church should teach sound doctrines and allow the Holy Spirit to do something with it in the lives of the listeners (as also in the preachers themselves). If the purity of the church is to be protected, her leaders must be faithful to the word of God and not just mess around in meetings, many of which are good, but they are not

priorities. All ministers of the gospel are answerable to Christ for how faithfully they nurture and protect the flock. If they are to become spiritually mature, the flock has to be taught and it is taught as the preachers/teachers preach from all of Scriptures (2 Tim. 2:24-25; 3:1417; 4:1-2). ryanmitra225@gmail. com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

JUNE 25 TRIBUTE TO ROY Fans of music legend Roy Orbison may want to mark June 25 on the calendar. On that Monday night at The Dunes in Kamloops, Michael Danckert will perform Only The Lonely, a tribute to one of the greatest voices of our time. Danckert is a Toronto singer whose four-octave voice is crucial to capturing the unique sound of Orbison in such hits as Pretty Woman, In Dreams, Crying and Only The Lonely. Danckert has been performing for 15 years, playing in Royal Canadian Legions, concert halls, casino lounges and corporate venues. Danckert said one of the toughest challenges facing any tribute artist is choosing the right songs. “Some performers forget that their

audience came to hear the songs they know and love,” he said. “Not obscure, difficult songs that serve only to show off the performer’s vocal prowess or musicianship. “No matter how easy a song is to perform or how many times a performer has done it, if it was a hit, he can be pretty certain it’s one the audience is expecting to hear. “In this case, the old showbiz saying — ‘Give’ em what they paid for’ — rules.” Tickets to the show are $49.95 and can be purchased by calling 250-5793300 (extension 2) or emailing contact@ golfthedunes.com. Cocktails are at 6:30 p.m., dinner is at 7:30 p.m. and Danckert hits the stage at 8:30 p.m.

Finding fondness for faithful Yellowstone JANE CASSIE travelwriterstales.com

ellowstone — it’s been America’s granddaddy national park since March 1, 1872 and one that takes me back to my childhood. Grizzlies, geysers, gushers and oh my! After two days of travelling from British Columbia, we arrive and are blown away (no pun intended) by the magnitude of this recreation playground. The encompassing 2.2-million acres is primarily comprised of forested, volcanic plateaus that have been eroded by glaciations and steam flow over the millennia. It’s home to over 10,000 thermal features, 300 geysers, 290 waterfalls, 285 types of birds and 67 mammal species, including bears. These furry fellows are the first attraction we see after driving though the park’s west entrance. A crowd of lookie-loos are vying for a photo opp as two roly-poly cubs lumber across the road. Mom isn’t far behind. People come in droves each year to experience all the “wows” at

Yellowstone and we’re just as eager as the next person in line. The park is divided into five sections, each offering lodging, dining and shops. There are 12 campgrounds: seven first come-first serve and five that permit reservations (up to one year in advance). At the junction of the Grand Loop and Mammoth Hot Springs Drive, we pull into Norris, hosting 100 or so sites within its forest of lodgepole pine. Before we have time to set up, Mother Nature is putting on a show. Billowy grasslands, scored by the adjacent Gibbon River, sprawl out beyond our firepit. Hawks swoop above the golden maze, water-foul waddle along the shorelines and the biggest, hairiest bison I’ve ever seen grazes peacefully in the distance. At the turn of the 20th century, these buffalo-like creatures were nearly extinct. In fact it’s the only place in the lower 48 states where there have been continuously free-ranging bison since the prehistoric times. The population of these beasts increase each year in Yellowstone. They can weigh over 2,000 pounds and travel faster than 50 k.p.h. “Did you know that these brutes

cause more human injuries than all other wildlife combined in the park?” I say to Brent as we pass a herd while driving to Mammoth Hot Springs the next day. “If we don’t bug them, they won’t gore us,” he says. It’s true. Although tourists are anxious to get close to the wildlife, this safarilike setting provides ample pullouts, so they can snap and shoot from the safety of their vehicles. Over the next six hours, we skirt massive mountains, bisect golden plains, slice through charred and new growth timber, and cross amazing passes. As well as the steamy geysers at Norris Basin, we check out the million-plus-year-old Sheepeater Cliff Columns. They’re magnificent basalt formations that look like massive granite fence posts. Next, we view a 50-million-yearold petrified tree, a lava-gouged Calcite Canyon and Mammoth Hot Springs, where spewing calcium and travertine have shaped and beautified the terraces of soft stone. From the boardwalk that trails down to the village centre, we have a perfect view of this beautiful spectacle. During the last three days at

One of 12 campgrounds within Yellowstone National Park, Norris Campground offers us a warm welome of grassy meadows with its meandering stream and lodgepole pine trees offered up shelter from Mother Nature — an ideal place to set up camp. Standing clustered with cameras in hand, we watch as Old Faithful releases its power and spectacle. BRENT CASSIE PHOTOS

Yellowstone, we move twice, first to Bridge Bay located 48 kilometres from the park’s east entrance, where we’re privy to spectacular views of the lake and an Absaroka Range backdrop. Then, to Grant Village at the south end of Yellowstone Lake, where we’re cocooned in a grove of pine. From each outdoor haven we’re able to take in more of the mother lode that this recreation destination has to offer: The wildlife in Hayden Valley and hiking along some of the 1,770 kilometres of trails.

Discovered in 1870 by the Washbum Expedition, this famous geyser was named for its frequent eruptions and has spewed well over a million times since the park first opened. Just like clockwork — as we wait with cameras focused — it doesn’t let us down. Old Faithful lives up to its name and erupts once again. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate.

LIONS’ OFFENCE AIMING FOR BETTER MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

urious Jarious Jackson wondered aloud what his players were revealing about the new offence he is

installing. “What are they saying? Not much? Well, that’s good,” said Jackson, who was hired to be the B.C. Lions’ offensive co-ordinator when Khari Jones was let go in December. “You don’t want to give away all of your secrets.” Jackson was mum on a few things, but training camp in the Kamloops desert isn’t quite Area 51 and it’s already clear the offence will be alien to Jones’ offering, which last season produced the third-least points in the CFL. Quarterback Jonathon Jennings, looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued and inconsistent 2017, expects the ball will be coming out of his hands much quicker than last year. Bryan Burnham, who has racked up 2,594 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over the last two seasons, said receivers will be lining up all over the map, not limited to starting routes on the left or right sides of the field. Head coach Wally Buono, now 68 and in the swan song season of his Hall of Fame career, has seen more play action, more quarterback movement, more pre-snap motion and more misdirection — and we’re only a few practices in. With so many new wrinkles in methodology and terminology, the Lions will be hard-pressed

to be running at full steam come their Week 1 matchup against the Montreal Alouettes at BC Place Stadium on June 16. “It’s a steep learning curve,” backup quarterback Travis Lulay said. “We had access to a lot of the install beforehand, so we were familiar with some of the terminology and the concepts, but getting out here and installing them with the formations and the movements of formations that are already built in, it’s a challenge. But that’s what training camp is for.” Lulay, recovering from a knee injury and not heavily involved on Wednesday, said the new terminology felt like Spanish on Days 1 and 2, but he is quickly picking up the language. The 2017 Leos finished third in the league with 5,425 passing yards and fifth in rushing with 1,666 yards, numbers that are less concerning than the total points figure of 469, which left them sixth in the nine-team CFL in that category. “Turnovers,” Burnham said, addressing a question about last year’s scoring deficiency. “That was the thing, I think. Not being able to finish drives.” “Lack of execution,” added receiver Manny Arceneaux. “I don’t care who’s the co-ordinator. Lack of execution can happen in any scheme.” The Lions started 5-2 last season, a mark that meant nothing when the club finished 7-11 and out of the playoffs for the first time since 1996. As the starting quarterback, Jennings is ladened with a large chunk of the blame for the dismal season.

He led the league with 19 interceptions and threw only 16 touchdown passes. In 2016, he had 27 TD tosses and 15 picks. To be fair, Jennings was hurt early in the 2017 campaign, a shoulder injury in Week 4, and rushed back to play in Week 8 behind an unreliable offensive line. “Any competitor is going to want to have a bounce-back year,” Jennings said. “I’ve never went through something like that. It was frustrating. After coming back from injury, I didn’t play very well. I’m looking forward to proving myself once again and showcasing what I can do.” Jackson, the former Lions’ pivot who has developed a reputation for good coaching work with QBs, was hired in part to make sure 25-year-old Jennings gets back on track this year. Catering to Jennings’ strengths, which include elite athleticism and a rocket arm, is part of the plan. “Whatever he’s comfortable with,” Jackson said. “There’s no need to put plays in that we like that he can’t execute.” More specifics for what to expect on offence were not on offer. “We’ve got some wrinkles I don’t want to talk about,” Jackson said. B.C. Lions’ quarterback Jonathon Jennings had a down season in 2017, suffering through injury and not playing up to expectations after a breakout year in 2016. Jennings and the Lions’ offence have a new co-ordinator in Jarious Jackson, who isn’t saying too much about what fans can expect to see this year. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Watershow to shine light on synchro sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Sunrays will play host to their year-end Watershow at Canada Games Aquatic Centre on Sunday.

Twice a season, the Kamloops Sunrays get to shine in front of a local audience. The annual season-ending Watershow is one of them, with the event scheduled to run from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Families and friends will gather to see how much progress has been made since the season began in September. The show is open to the public. “It’s also a chance for the community to come out and see exactly what synchronized swimming is and what the Sunrays are all about,” said Sunrays’ head coach Tina Naveri, who took the reins last July. One of Naveri’s goals is to expand opportunities for competitive swimmers. The Sunrays, who also hosted a show in Kamloops in March, will be sending seven athletes to the Canadian Espoir Championships, which will run from May 29 to June 3 in Surrey. Nadia Curtis, Kate Liebe, Nevaeh Manuel-Hearn, Rosina

against 19 teams from across the country. The club, which had about 18 members in the 2016-2017 season, has about 30 members this season, including two who commute from Vernon. Much of the growth has come at the lower developmental areas and from the Try It Program, which allows prospective synchro swimmers to give the sport a chance for free. The club will play host to a Try It session from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, when the show is over.

Fraser-Bowden, Karina Aujla and Keira Fawcett will compete for the Sunrays 13/15 Team. Abby Bucher, who Naveri said is the first adaptive swimmer in

Sunrays’ history, will compete in the adaptive solo category. “We wanted to provide opportunities to athletes who wanted to be super-competitive, as well as

opportunities for athletes to have a safe place to enjoy swimming, meet some friends and have a good time,” Naveri said. The Sunrays will be competing

The Sa-Hali secondary student had interest from higher-profile U Sports and NCAA schools, but will study engineering at TRU and compete for the Pack in 2018-2019. WolfPack head coach Brad Dalke has coached McRae with the Kamloops Classic Swimming club for six years. “Brad and I have a great relationship on the pool deck,” McRae said. “We are just like friends. I thought staying home for at least the first year would be a good idea.” McRae is the 12thranked swimmer in the world in the 18-andunder boys’ freestyle category. He won gold in the discipline by 40 metres at 2017 junior nationals and also medalled in the 400m freesyle, 200m butterfly and 800m freestyle. McRae belongs to the national development team and is aiming to qualify for the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in August and Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in October.

Buono happy with CFL rule change MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The CFL’s board of governors on Wednesday approved changes to rules that were first proposed by its rules committee earlier this year. B.C. Lions’ head coach Wally Buono is on board with at least one of the changes — illegal contact on a receiver can no longer be a play coaches can challenge and send to video review. “That was something that we advocated for as a football club,” Buono said at Lions’ training camp in Kamloops on Wednesday. “I got a lot of support from the [Calgary] Stampeders.” Buono said last year he felt some coaches went fishing for illegal contact calls away from the play by throwing challenge flags. The winningest coach

in CFL history was particularly upset after a game against Edmonton on July 28, 2017. Eskimos’ head coach Jason Maas and Buono combined to throw four challenge flags in less than three minutes. Uproar across the league and on social media did not go unnoticed by league commissioner Randy Ambrosie, who not long after announced the CFL had changed its video review policy, reducing to one the number of challenges available to coaches. “The governors have again emphasized the importance of player safety to our league, as well as the need to protect game flow on behalf of our fans,” the CFL’s senior director of officiating Darren Hackwood said in a press release on Wednesday. The complete list of rule changes is available online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Head coach Wally Buono was patrolling the field at B.C. Lions training camp on Wednesday at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops.

Memorial Cup run ends for Kamloops’ Patterson RYAN MCKENNA

CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — Nick Henry scored a hat trick as the Regina Pats eliminated Western Hockey League rival Swift Current Broncos from the Memorial Cup with a 6-5 victory on Wednesday night. Regina’s victory at the Canadian major junior championship concluded roundrobin play and means the Pats (2-1)will face the Ontario Hockey League’s Hamilton Bulldogs (2-1)in Friday’s semifinal. The Acadie-Bathurst Titan (2-1) of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, meanwhile, advanced to Sunday’s championship game. Kamloops product Max Patterson is on the Broncos’ roster. He played all three games,

notching two shots on goal an registering two penalty minutes. Cameron Hebig, Bryce Platt and Libor Hajek also scored for the Pats, who got five assists from captain Sam Steel. Josh Mahura tacked on two helpers. Glenn Gawdin struck twice with Beck Malenstyn, Aleksi Heponiemi and Giorgio Estephan rounding out the attack for Swift Current, which won the WHL championship. The Broncos had eliminated Regina during the first round of the WHL playoffs in early April, forcing the Pats to wait more than six weeks for their next game. Max Paddock made 26 saves for the win in net as Stuart Skinner turned away 22-of-28 shots in defeat. Friday’s semifinal between Regina and

Hamilton will start at 7 p.m. The championship

game between AcadieBathhurst and the

Not a second goes by you are not thought of, the pain will never subside. Missing you always there’s a hole inside where a heart should be, that only you can fill. Day’s linger, time now stands still, the wanting to hear your voice singing your songs and playing your guitar, we will always long to hear. I’ve watched you crawl, seen you learn to walk, now it’s your time to fly,” fly high” my boy, when I’m given my wings, we will fly home together.

Love and missing you forever

He loved his visits to Arizona, Mexico, Ottawa, the Maritimes and various other places throughout his life. Kamloops Lake was a favorite relaxation spot where he could visit with his many neighbours, friends and enjoy time with his family. He was predeceased by his first wife Audrey (Cassidy-1990), parents Henry and Katherina, brother Herman, sister Susan (Mierau), Susie and Anna. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice home or the Alzheimer’s Society.

Bill Foster

Rick passed away suddenly from an unexpected accident at the age of 63 doing what he loved most. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Marilyn and his three children Blake of Calgary and Kaitlyn and Brynn of Kamloops. Rick worked in the natural gas industry for almost 40 years working his way up from labourer to Regional Manager. He retired in November of 2012 when he continued to enjoy his many hobbies including motorbiking, cowboy action shooting and golf. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his kids, having coffee with friends, riding his bikes (both pedal and motor) and most recently snowshoeing with his daughters. Rick and Marilyn enjoyed time together travelling the world, camping with friends and enjoying their weekly dinner and a movie date nights. He had a heart of gold and an innate sense of humour. His laugh was contagious and his stories remarkably animated. He was loved by many and will be sorely missed. There will be a Celebration of Life held at the Yacht Club, 1140 River Street, Kamloops on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Casual summer attire would be appreciated. An open mic will be available for friends and family to share their stories and memories of Rick.

Also left to mourn is his daughter Brenda (Brian) Kennedy and her children and grandchildren. Bill was an active member of the Kamloops Amateur Radio Club as well as active with Emergency Management BC where he was awarded the Communications Volunteer of the Year in 2014. Bill’s request was that there will be no service.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The album, all the folksyrootsy songs written by the band or with Dawson along as co-writer, was an intense but fun experience, Schichter said, as they worked to create the tracks, music filled with the value of love, hope and human relationships. After the tour through B.C. and Alberta, the band is taking a break before heading into Manitoba. The summer will be spent promoting the album and prepping for its fall tour overseas. Opening for the band will be Elsewhere — Jared Doherty, Anthony Splane and Jared Wilman — and Deandra Dey. Admission for the 19-plus show is $10 at the door.

Tale of Sweeney Todd told at KSA a&e T

he high school cast of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is feeling a good kind of nervous heading into its final musical of the year. “There’s always a little bit of nervousness, but that just shows that we care, we want it to go well,” said Rem Murray, who plays the antagonist in the upcoming Kamloops School of the Arts musical. “It’s going to be a great show and honestly, I’m excited to see everybody’s growth within the next week,” said fellow performer and Grade 12 student Cat Hartt-Towle. The Kamloops School of the Arts will present three performances of the 1979 musical thriller from Stephen Sondheim next week. The cast has been in rehearsals since March. The musical tells the story of fictional Victorian era London barber Sweeney Todd, who is banished to Australia for a crime he didn’t commit by an evil judge who lusts after his wife. Upon his return some 15 years later, the now-mad Todd seeks revenge against Judge Turpin, who has since adopted his daughter, Johanna. Embarking on a reign of terror, Todd begins slitting the throats of his unsuspecting customers while they sit helpless in the barber’s chair. Their bodies are then shuttled down to the basement, where his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett,

bakes their flesh into meat pies she sells in her bakery to cover up the crimes. “It’s crazy. It’s dark comedy. I think it’s funny, personally … but it’s not for everyone,” said Grade 12 student Paige Olsen, who plays Mrs. Lovett. “I think Mrs. Lovett is absolutely insane,” Olsen said. “She just laughs and thinks everything is a joke, which is very different than Sweeney.” “Sweeney’s also crazy, but almost soulless in a way where he just feels no remorse and has his own ambitions, but they’re all very dark ambitions,” said fellow 12th grader Bryce Craig who plays the lead role of Sweeney Todd. As the story’s main antagonist in Judge Turpin, Murray said it’s been fun “to ham it up and play the villian.” Grade 10 student Mandy Maher, who plays Sweeney’s daughter in the musical, said getting the character down has been a challenge. “When you see her you think poor damsel in distress, but she’s more than just a damsel in distress,” she said. Sam Neilly, who plays the role of Anthony — Johanna’s love interest — has attended KSA since kindergarten, but this will be his first musical. “I’ve been a music major my whole life and this is really stepping out of my comfort zone,” said the Grade 12 student. As for what audiences can take away from the story, Murray said “it really is a cautionary tale about how revenge is cyclical.”

“It’s a great musical, and it just leaves you wanting more,” said HarttTowle, who plays the role of beggar woman. For most of the main cast, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street will be the final show before graduating high school. “It’s kind of like going out with a bang,” Olsen said. Shows are at 7 p.m. next Monday to Wednesday at the Kamloops School of the Arts, 1390 9th Avenue. Tickets are available for $15. For more information call 250-374-3200.

Help fund his movie or his dog gets it DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

en Hegan and his dog have been threatened with death. There’s even video to prove it — a short clip of the comedy writer and director tied to a chair in a garage, facing two thugs, one of whom is holding a blowtorch while the other has his gun pressed hard against Hegan’s dog. They’re demanding $200,000 to spare the lives of man and beast, money Hegan eventually explains in the trailer that will be used to create his next project, Goners, something he says brings together the best of Zombieland and John Wick. Yes, that’s how the former Kamloopsian’s humour rolls. Hegan has come a long way since he left his hometown of Kamloops years ago. His resumé hearkens back to his

his 1995 documentary Farley Mowat Ate My Brother. He followed it up in 1996 with his 13-minute cult comedy William Shatner Lent Me His Hairpiece, a parody of the original Star Trek series that sees an obsessed Trekkie battle Shatner for his hairpiece. Hegan has also been the man behind 34 episodes of The Hour, the talk show starring George Stroumboulopoulos for which he did much of the writing. Now, the man who runs Voice of Treason Productions out of Vancouver has turned his twisted talent to Goners, where “the world’s greatest assassin must rescue his wife and brother from the mob, just as zombies rise to destroy them all,” Hegan said. “Plus, it’s Halloween, so you can’t tell the real zombies apart from the sexy zombies.” There are rewards for those who contribute, which could include anything from a zombie survival kit — and

one hopes Hegan does not decide what goes into it — to invitations to the movie’s premieres, T-shirts, posters, downloads of the script and film, the chance to have your scream in the movie or maybe even be a zombie extra, and a 30-second ad for a company or product. The campaign starts at 8 a.m. on May 31. For more information, Hegan can be reached by email at kenhegan@gmail. com. He’s also on Twitter and Instagram as @KenHegan.

How a cherry tree inspired fiddler Scott Woods’ latest show MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Tapestries tell tale of the earth SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

f you had to choose how to tell the story of the earth, how would you do it? Nancy Gruver Van Wagoner had an answer to that question, and she chose woven tapestries and geology. “I’m working at the intersection between art and science,” she told KTW. Van Wagoner’s work is being exhibited at the Old Courthouse until June 9. It tells a story about the evolution of the earth by collaging images from her research, which she conducts as a geologist at Thompson Rivers University, which she then has

woven into tapestries. Her chosen medium was a conscious choice and part of the work itself. “Tapestry is a very traditional way of telling a story. Some people have these heirloom tapestries that have told stories of their family — and this [her artwork] is kind of a story of our collective heritage,” she said. Each of the 20 stops in the exhibit is a chapter of the story of the evolution of the earth, Van Wagoner said. One piece was created based on photographs she took of lava while in Hawaii. Another uses photos of salt from the mid-Atlantic ridge. Each chapter has an accompanying booklet which tells the

story behind each image and tapestry. Visitors to the gallery are also encouraged to touch the pieces. Van Wagoner said she wanted the experience to be tactile as well as visual. “I want people to leave with this feeling they’ve seen beautiful artwork, and in that artwork is a story of a very long history of earth that ends up at today, and that they have a sense of this being their story.” Fields of View: Tapestries of Time runs Tuesdays to Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., until June 9 at the Old Kamloops Courthouse Arts and Cultural Building, 7 West Seymour St.

cherry tree made a huge difference for Scott Woods’ family, and it’s the inspiration behind the latest show his band is bringing to Kamloops. “Our theme Fiddling Up a Storm is not so literal about rain and wind and stuff like that as it is the storms of life. Some of the toughest storms to weather are those of the heart,” Woods said. Every year the Scott Woods Band produces a new show and album filled with new music and a new theme under the umbrella of their classic brand of old time fiddle and country music. A narrative set to music is played every year and this year’s show features a poem Woods’ grandmother wrote about the night his grandfather nearly died during Hurricane Hazel. On Oct. 15, 1954, Woods’ grandfather, who had been working

in Toronto, was driving home when his vehicle was washed off a bridge and into the Humber River. Had it not been for a small cherry tree, his grandfather would have surely perished that night, and while Woods would still have been born — his mother was 14 at the time — it would have changed all their lives forever. “It [the tree] was only about six inches in diameter and it was enough for his car to rest against so he could crawl out the window and up this tree and he held onto that tree for six hours in the middle of the Humber River,” Woods told KTW. Woods’ grandfather was finally rescued at about 3 a.m. and was lucky to be alive, as three other people who were washed off the bridge died. Woods said the point of the story in the show is less about the storm and his grandfather’s survival and more the randomness of someone dropping a cherry seed and

inadvertently saving a life. “Even if you don’t think what you do in life has any difference or impact, it may years later,” Woods said. Woods is a renowned Canadian fiddle champion, who alongside his sister Kendra and the rest of the band, will present the new show Fiddling Up a Storm at the Kamloops Calvary Church on Monday. “We’ve been described as a Branson Missouristyle two-hour variety show,” Woods said. The concert features a range of music from bluegrass to swing, country gospel and, of course, plenty of fiddle music. “It’s a fast-paced scripted show that moves along pretty quick, but it’s very wholesome, family friendly and we have a lot of comedy throughout the show,” Woods said. Fiddling Up a Storm starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are available at the Horse Barn, 517 Mt Paul Way.

kamloopsthisweek kamloopsthisweek

Extra bits of work you might not want to do will help ensure others take you seriously

ummer can be a busy time for creatives. Local makers are busy preparing for a full lineup of farmers’ markets, festivals and artisan events, and wedding season engulfs most of the photographers, florists and bakers we know. For creative entrepreneurs, running a business rarely yields for a weekend road trip or an afternoon at the beach. Most creatives get into business out of a passion for their craft — both as a way to support what can often be an expensive hobby and to make beautiful things for people to enjoy. It’s fulfilling and rewarding and fun, until it’s not. The pressure to stay inspired and produce enough product, likely while also working a day job, can be exhausting. Add in a slow day, slumping sales, or minimal profit for hours of hard work and many creatives feel discouraged before their business even gets off the ground. While making art is a wonderful pursuit, creatives who want to build their business or simply avoid working for free, quickly

realize it takes more than creativity and a lot of hard work to succeed. This realization hit hard for Brianne and I as we grew Makeshift over the past two years and especially now as we look to launch our new retail store, Far + Wide, next month. From branding and promotion to accounting and finance to supply and operations, often the non-creative tasks of the business have the biggest impact. Yet as creatives we tend to put them off, claiming it’s too hard to keep our books in order; we never wanted to run a business, we’re artists. All the while, we fail to recognize that making a profit means being clear on material costs, or that limiting customer options can often actually increase sales. If you truly love your creative pursuit, value it enough to treat it like a business. Even if you consider knitting toques, baking cookies or snapping photos to be your hobby, others will begin to take your work seriously as soon as you do. This doesn’t mean you need to rent office space, hire staff or pay

An important lesson I’ve learned while chipping away at my goals is this: If you want to love what you do, you have to be prepared to do things you don’t love. Every job involves tasks we don’t want to do, whether working for someone else or for yourself. For each evening Brianne and I spend hosting a Makeshift workshop there are weeks of behind-the-scenes work that is less fun. It’s the necessary work that keeps our business growing, and we know we wouldn’t be able to do what we love without doing these less enjoyable tasks. Cleaning a bathroom is never fun, but when I know it’s important for my business, I make sure to get it done. Approaching your creative pursuit with a business mindset will be different for every maker. For some, it may involve rebranding to more clearly convey what the business is about. It could include redesigning the packaging so it photographs

better for online marketing or sales. It could require a bit more time online, creating social media pages for the business — or getting into the habit of posting more regularly. As a hobbyist, you may decide to tackle just one of these items to start with, however if you’re looking to grow your business, turn making into a full-time job, or have your products stocked in brick and mortar shops, you may discover there’s a lot of work separating where you are and where you want to be. And that’s OK. Growing a business is hard work and it can be overwhelming at times. Whether you’re a creative hobbyist, consider your business a side-hustle, or have visions of something bigger, recognize that your time is worth compensation. Value your work, treat it like a business and expect to spend a good amount of time doing things you don’t necessarily love – all in the name of that one thing you’re truly passionate about.
