A pair of security officers stopped a suspect-ed thief at Northills Mall last Sunday, despite being bear sprayed in the process. A loss prevention officer and mall security officer saw the suspect leaving the Your In-

dependent Grocer store with items under his jacket, and when they attempted to stop him, he sprayed them, according to RCMP. Unfortunately for the suspect, the officers per-sisted, holding him down until police arrived.

One of the officers was treated in hospital for the effects of the spray. The 19 year old suspect, who is known to police, made his first court appearance Mon-day morning facing a series of charges.

With less than 200 days until ‎the 2016 Rockin’ River Music Festival in Merritt, organisers have announced its lineup. The popular music festival, which takes place July 28 to 31 in Mer-ritt, Riverfest is going back to its country roots with a line-up that features top-selling country artists and Canadian legends. The schedule includes Sam Hunt; Dean Brody; John Michael Mont-gomery; The Road Hammers; High Valley; Bobby Wills; Small Town Pistols; Brent Lee; Rod Black; Chris Buck; Madeline Merlo; Tristan Horncastle; Alee; Jojo Mason; and Dakota Pearl. “As an artist I got my start right here in Merritt,” said president and founder Kenny Hess. “It means a lot to be able to provide a place to showcase our own Canadian-grown talent.” To date, the Riverfest mainstage schedule is as follows: Thurs. July 28: Brent Lee; Chris Buck Band; Rod Black; and Dakota Pearl. Fri. July 29: The Road Hammers; John Michael Montgomery; Kenny Hess. Sat. July 30: Sam Hunt; High Valley; Small Town Pistols; Aaron Goodvin; Jojo Mason. Sun. July 31: Dean Brody; Bobby Wills; Mad-eline Merlo; Me & Mae; and Alee. More artist announcements are expected. All artists and times can change without notice. The Merritt Rockin’ River Festival features acres of camping facili-ties located within the grounds of what is arguably the premier outdoor music festival site in the country. This festival, which is all about living life in the moment and where everyone is a friend, is held over four days (July 28 to 31) and features three stages and more than 20 artists performing throughout the event. Children 12 and under are free. “The festival’s location is deeply rooted in country music history,” said Hess. “We plan on returning to the origins of Canada’s country music history in 2016, and look forward to welcoming music enthusi-asts from across North America to the event.” Tickets are on sale at rockinriverfest.com.

When I was a child, my moth-er’s daily rant was something about bundling up or else we would catch pneumonia. This was not something I actually worried about or thought was in the realm of possibility. When I was a child, to me, catching pneumonia was like getting po-lio. It was not going to happen. Fast forward 30 years... and the word pneumonia still haunts me. It is winter. It is cold. It is flu season. Germs thrive in this weather and I am anal about hand washing, and bundling up when it is cold out. But, kids are germy and kids still get sick. This was confirmed when I was par-ent helper and saw a kindergarten boy wipe his runny nose over the palm of his hand, and proceeded to use the pencil – at the group station. I saw no hand sanitizer in site and secretly wanted to burn that pencil. Aubrielle had a cough . . . just like every other cold season. I gave her cough medicine and sent her on her way. The cough grew worse, and after six days, the new bottle of medicine was now empty. I knew it was time for the doctor . . . but I was not worried. Aubrielle was her usual happy ball of energy. The doctor checked her eyes, nose, ear, throat, and breathing. He wrote his notes in the file, and told me that Aubrielle had a chest infection and that she needed a chest x-ray. Then, the doctor said the word that paralyzed me with

fear; he thought Aubrielle had pneumonia. That word flashes in my head like a blinking, neon-red sign – and the panic set in. My mouth was spitting out nu-merous questions and concerns. And all I could picture was Au-brielle in the hospital, connected to tubes and a respirator, and having to call my husband (out of town) to worry him with this diagnosis. Of course, for a chest x-ray, I could not be in the same room as my baby girl. All I wanted to do was hold her and I was forced by the separation of metal-lined doors and walls as I heard a clicking sound and wondering if she was afraid. It felt like an hour before those doors opened again. And there was my girl, all smiles in her pink medical robe. Chest x-rays, $100 of antibiot-ics, and ten days later, Aubrielle’s cough and infection was cleared. She bounced around the house as usual – and all smiles. Now, two weeks later, she is back to school . . . and the cough has returned. . . Ding ding: Round 2!

The Kamloops Storm are tied with the 100 Mile House Wran-glers after a win and a loss – to the Wranglers –while the Wran-glers took two wins last weekend in KIJHL action. Fri. Jan. 15, saw the Storm in 100 Mile House where they went

down to a 5-2 defeat. The Wran-glers opened the scoring 5:35 into the game to take an early lead. Zackari Andrusiak answered back with a power play goal 6:14 later to make it 1-1 after the first period. The Wranglers took a 2-1 lead halfway through the middle frame. Twenty-one seconds af-ter the Wranglers’ goal, a scuffle broke out between the Storm’s Dallas Otto and the Wrangelrs’ Nick McCabe, and both players were given two-minute minors for roughing. Mitch Friesen an-swered back on another power play goal 3:44 after the Wran-glers’ goal to tie it up again. After an intense rush around the Wran-glers’ goal in which Andrusiak was called for goaltender inter-

ference, the Wranglers’ Stephen Egan came to the aid of his net-minder with some pushing and shoving between himself and Andrusiak resulted in both play-ers receiving roughing penalties. Andrusiak also received an ad-ditional 10-minute misconduct. The Wranglers scored on the re-sulting power play with less than five minutes left in the period to take a 3-2 lead after the second. The third period was fast-paced as both teams were back and forth on the ice – and only one penalty was called – against the Wranglers halfway through the period. The Storm pulled their goalie for an extra attacker in the final minutes of the game but the strategy backfired on as the Wranglers managed to get a pair of empty-net goals 30 seconds apart with 1:06 remaining in the game to take the 5-2 win. Sun. Jan. 17, saw the Storm back home to host the Sicamous Eagles, in what turned out to be a decisive 7-0 shutout for Olafr Schmidt, who stopped all 32 shots he faced in the game. Jameson Murray opened the scoring 1:40 into the game. Levi Johnson 10:25 later to make it 2-0. Mitch Friesen made it 3-0 after 20 minutes with 1:42 remaining in the first. Tre Sales scored on the power play 5:46 into the middle frame to give the Storm a 4-0 lead. Tempers began to flare, resulting in some rough play at the whistle, sending the

Storm’s Dario Piva and Eagles’ Nicholas Cuglietta of for rough-ing. Keaton Gordon scored for the Storm with 3:06 left in the second period to take a 5-0 lead after 40. Jackson Lee made it 6-0 Storm 3:13 into the third. Andrusiak scored on the power play to make it 7-0 Storm halfway through the period. Frustration finally won out for Sicamous as an all-out fight took place with just 2:43 re-maining on the clock between the Storm’s Austin Crossley and the Eagles’ William Mizuik. When the dust settled, both players re-ceived five-minute majors and a game misconduct. The Storm out-shot the Eagles 43-32 in the win. Johnson, Friesen, Sales, Lee and Andrusiak each had a goal and two assists in the winning effort. The win gave the Storm and the Wranglers a tie for first place in the Birks division. Both teams have 55 points, and ties them for fourth spot in the league behind the Kootenay conference’s Kim-berley Dynamiters (68 points) (Eddie Mountain division), and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (62) (Neil Murdock division); and the Okanagan/Shuswap con-ference’s Osoyoos Coyotes (60) (Okanagan division). The Storm are at home this weekend as they host the North Okanagan Knights Fri. Jan. 22 – the puck drops at 7 p.m. – and the Eagles Sun. Jan. 24, in a 5 p.m. matinee game.

The Kamloops Blazers fell 6-5 in a shootout to the Tigers in Med-icine Hat last Wednesday night. It was the Blazers fourth line that got the hockey club off to a good start. Jermaine Loewen and Matthew Campese score goals at 4:04 and 6:05 of the first period to give the Blazers the lead. Campese now has goals in three straight games. Shots were 6-6 in the first period as the Blazers took a 2-0 lead into the second period. Deven Sideroff made it 3-0 only 1:33 into the second period on a power play. He scored on a re-bound off a shot from Ryan Rehill. Chad Butcher made it 3-1 beat-ing goaltender Connor Ingram on the blocker side. Matt Needham gave the Blaz-ers a 4-1 lead after two periods squeezing a shot underneath goaltender Mack Shields. That was it for Shields as he let in four goals on 16 shots. Needham started the third pe-

riod right with a goal 38 seconds in and a 5-1 Blazers lead. From there, it fell apart for the Blazers as the Tigers had chance after chance and outshot the Blazers 17-6 in the period. Mason Shaw and Mark Ras-sell each scored to make it a 5-3 Blazers lead with 14 minutes left in the period. Alex Mowbray made it 5-4 with 8:32 to play with a power play tip past Ingram. Rassell rounded out the come-back on a breakaway to send the game to overtime tied at 5-5. Overtime solved nothing, and the Tigers ended the shootout in the sixth round with Matt Brad-ley getting the winner. Despite the loss, the Blazers have collected points in seven straight games going 4-0-1-2 in that stretch. The Tigers outshot the Blazers 36-25. The Blazers were 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Ti-gers finished 2-for-5. The Hurricanes scored four power play goals in a 6-2 win over the Blazers last Friday night in Lethbridge. The Hurricanes opened the scor-ing 2:29 into the game. Barrett Sheen won a race off the faceoff and fed Ben Duperreault in front for his first goal of the season. Sideroff tied the game late in the period while shorthanded. He went in on a breakaway and snapped a shot by goaltender

Stuart Skinner. Cory Millette gave the Hurri-canes the lead 22 seconds after Sideroff’s goal on the power play. He took a pass from Kord Pan-kewicz and slipped a puck under-neath goaltender Dylan Ferguson as the Hurricanes took a 2-1 lead into the second period. Andrew Nielson made it 3-1 for the ‘Canes with a power play blast 4:06 into the second period. Matt Revel tied the game up while the two teams played 4-on-4. He kept the puck on an odd man rush and scored his 13th of the season. The Hurricanes then added to the lead with three goals in the second half of the second period. Egor Babenko made it 4-2 as he slid a rebound past Ferguson on a power play. Nielson made it 5-2 with an-

other blast from the point and Millette rounded out the scoring after a rebound deflected off of him and in for a 6-2 Hurricanes lead through two periods. The Blazers had some chances in the third period, but did not have it on the night as they fell 6-2 in Lethbridge. The Hurricanes outshot the Blazers 40-31 in the game. The Blazers were 0-for-4 on the power play, while the Hurricanes were 4-for-5 on the night. The Blazers ended their five-game road trip with a 2-1 win over the Oil Kings in Edmonton last Sunday night. Campese scored the game’s first goal 13:56 into the first period. He came streaking to the net and

one-timed a pass from Loewen past goaltender Payton Lee. It was Campese’s fourth goal of the road trip and seventh of the season. The Oil Kings tied the game up as Kole Gable put a shot just un-der the crossbar and by Ingram. These two teams were tied 1-1 through the first period with shots tied 9-9. There was no scoring in the second period as two tired teams were going at it. The Oil Kings were playing their third game in as many nights, while the Blaz-ers were finishing off a five-game road trip that started in Portland last week. Collin Shirley broke the tie with 3:36 left in the third period. Six-teen-year-old Erik Miller, who is from just outside Edmonton in Sherwood Park, put the puck be-hind the net. Shirley picked up the puck and put a wraparound on goal that beat Lee on the far pad. The Blazers did not give up much in the final 3:36 as they went on to win 2-1 in Edmonton. Ingram had a solid night in goal with 34 saves, while Lee stopped 26 shots. The Blazers were 0-for-1 on the power play, while the Oil Kings finished 0-for-2. The Blazers returned home for a game on Wednesday night when they hosted the Everett Silver-tips. The Blazers couldn’t solve goaltender Carter Hart in the 2-1 home- ice loss. The Blazers struck on their first

shot of the game. Rehill gave a great feed to Jake Kryski and he made a terrific pass to Quinn Benjafield as he shovelled in his fifth goal of the season 2:47 into the first period. Graham Millar tied the game up midway through the first period. He pounced on a loose puck and beat Ingram to the stick side. In-gram may have been interfered with on the play, but no call was made. The second period was scoreless, but a good period for the Blazers. They outshot the ‘Tips 11-9 in the frame and had a couple of good looks on the power play. Hart was solid for the ‘Tips in the period. He smothered virtu-ally every shot, rarely giving up a second chance. The ‘Tips got a break as they took the lead 3:43 into the third period. Matt Fonteyne raced around a Blazers defender for a partial breakaway. His attempt was stoned by Ingram. The Blaz-ers mishandled the rebound, and the puck ended up in the back of the Blazers net. The push was on for the Blazers in the third period as they enjoyed a lot of offensive zone time. The Blazers outshot the ‘Tips 17-6 in the period, but it wasn’t enough as they fell 2-1 in the game. Both teams finished the night 0-for-3 on the power play, while the Blazers outshot the ‘Tips 34-27. The Blazers move ahead to the weekend as they will play a dou-bleheader in Prince George on Friday and Saturday night.
