Brock Rodgers wanted what the Noble Pig has.

So, just three months after entering discussions to establish a strategic alli-ance with the Kamloops brewhouse,

Maeghan and Jared Summers are going to try to give it to him.

Rodgers, a part-owner of the Lower Mainland’s Mission Springs Brewing Company and Hearthstone Brewery, sat down for dinner at the Pig one January evening, in the River City to explore opportunities for his businesses.

Coincidentally, he was seated in a booth next to Mark Tetreau, a part-owner of the Noble Pig, who was in the midst of a conversation about the direction of the Victoria Street restaurant and brewery.

“I have to be honest, I’m quite jealous of what you do here,” Rodgers told Tetreau at the time.

Speaking with KTW, Rodgers recalled his experi-ence at the Pig.

“Everything about the place just wowed me,” he said.

“I run a few places and have spent most of my life looking at other places, going, ‘How can I get better?’ I saw nothing but ways to improve my situation.”

The strategic alliance resulting from Rodgers’ visit

will now see the couple — Jared the Pig’s chef and Maeghan its general manager — trying to replicate the successes of The Noble Pig in Mission and North Vancouver.

The beer program, the scratch kitchen cuisine and the service level the couple has established in Kamloops all resonated with Rodgers, to the point he was willing to offer them a partnership in Hearthstone, his North Vancouver venture.

They headed to the Lower Mainland last week with the goal of guiding Mission Springs, located in its namesake Fraser Valley town, through what Jared called a revamp and getting Hearthstone’s restaurant and taproom off the ground in June.

“I’ll be honest, it’s super humbling,” Maeghan told KTW, sitting in the very booth Rodgers had occupied months before.

“To have an experience like this — where some-one seeks out what we do in a destination that people don’t necessarily view as a food hub or a cultural cen-tre, and to see talent in what we do — means a lot. It’s very, very humbling.”

“The greatest compliments always come from the people within the industry,” Jared echoed.

The partnership creates the opportunity for the companies to do collaborative brews, share in prod-

ucts and provide staff with opportunities to grow or relocate between locations. There’s hope it will help support culinary programs, both at Thompson Rivers University and in Vancouver.

Noble Pig beer will be exposed to a Lower Mainland audience for the first time and the brew-house in the Thompson Inn will have the opportunity to try some new things.

“Kamloops, in some ways, will be that pilot proj-ect,” Maeghan said.

The most popular of the Noble brews will remain on tap, but some new additions should be on the way.

“It can be that place where you try something unique and, if it works, they’ll do it on a bigger scale in the other breweries,” she said.

Aligning with Rodgers, who also owns a string of liquor stores, may also help The Noble Pig get its beers into bottles and cans.

“It’s going to allow Kamloops to really start to expose the Lower Mainland to Kamloops craft beer,” Maeghan said of the alliance.

“This isn’t just about the Pig in some ways, I think it’s going to be really good for Kamloops overall.

“This will allow that market to be really aware of what Kamloops is about — there’s a reason to come here.”

A NOBLE VENTURE EXPANDS

Kamloops honing its craftJoe Wiebe has long

said Kamloops is among the biggest and best surprises in B.C.’s craft-brewing industry.

Known as the Thirsty Rider, Wiebe travelled the city on a craft beer odyssey in 2012, researching for his book Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries.

He admitted he had low expectations for his time in the River City.

But he was stunned by what The Noble Pig had to offer and it quickly became one of his favourite places in B.C. to enjoy craft beers.

Wiebe’s low expecta-tions weren’t entirely unfounded — when The Noble Pig first opened its doors in 2010, there was little like it in town.

The restaurant and brewhouse is now part of a burgeoning craft beer scene in Kamloops.

Red Collar Brewing on Lansdowne Street started pouring in 2012. Red Beard Cafe has been serving craft beer on Kamloops’ North Shore for two years.

Chances Casino on Halston Avenue has nearly a dozen B.C. beers on tap.

The culture has grown immensely, to the point that Brew Loops, the city’s craft beer festival, now takes place annually.

“It has come a long way in the last five years,” Pig co-owner Jared Summers said. “When the Pig first opened, I think this was probably the only place you could get craft beer.

“It has really come a long way. Vancouver is such a big market, there’s obviously a lot more room for diversity, but Kamloops has really caught on and people have been really keen to understanding what craft beer is all about and embracing it.”

Annual allowable cut at 2.3MThe province’s chief forester has

elected to smooth out the annual allow-able cut in the Kamloops timber supply area by dropping it more rapidly than an earlier proposed base case.

Diane Nicholls, chief forester, said the beetle epidemic in the region and salvage efforts in its wake are over, leav-ing far less timber availability.

The new annual allowable cut (AAC) will be set at 2.3-million cubic metres, stepping down to 2.1 million -

cubic metres in 2021.Under a previous scenario, the cut

was to be set at 2.5-million cubic metres for the next decade, when it would fall sharply to 1.8 million cubic metres.

Cut levels were artificially increased and mill production ramped up to deal with dead pine over the past decade.

An average of about 2.7-million cubic metres of timber was harvested between 2009 to 2013 in the Kamloops timber supply area.

The Kamloops area has a more diverse timber base than the Central Interior, which relied heavily on now-

dead lodgepole pine.Chris Ortner, a professional forester

and consultant, said forest companies here will now move into Douglas fir, spruce and fir because there is no more pine to harvest.

He said the AAC should feed existing mill demand at Adams Lake, Chase and Merritt.

“They may have to scale back a shift from time to time,” he said.

Kamloops is no longer home to a lumber mill, but Tolko Enterprises Ltd. operates a plywood plant at Heffley Creek.

speakingT he upcoming

J E M H (Journal of

Ethics in Mental Health) conference in Kamloops brings to light many aspects of ageing gracefully both emotionally, physically and cognitively.

The cliché term “getting long in the tooth” refers to the

ancient philosophy that one loses their teeth directly proportional to the rate at which one chronologically ages. But this is far from the truth today.

A healthy and fully dentate mouth is able to SMILE for you, CHEW salads and meats for you; but also improves your digestion and increases your longevity with the variety of foods you can ingest and digest. This most importantly maintains your dignity!

Maturing in actual “years” does not mean your body nor your mouth ages at the same rate! Researchers have shown that the healthier your mouth is and the more teeth you keep in your head the better you stave off Alzeimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s disease but also heart disease and cancer.

Researchers have identified that Alzeimer’s disease which is classified as “inflammation of the brain” can be tracked back to oral bacteria, herpes viruses or oral yeasts causing periodontal disease. These microbes find their way through the blood-brain barrier and Dr Olsen at the University of Oslo has published on this.

Once you know this, the motivation to go to the periodontist, who knows MORE about gums and gum disease better than any other dentist, should be a natural choice for you. Even if you have lost no, some or all your teeth..... maintaining your oral health even with dentures is key to your overall health. With dentures, the risk of candida infections is high and thus removing your dentures at night is a MUST. If the lack of chewing or taste is an issue, you might want to consider a simple cheap conversion to an implant supported denture with you own dentures for better chewing function.

If you have lost some of your teeth, maintaining what is remaining is also critical compared to the old days when you just called it quits on your remaining teeth and got full dentures. Research shows you live longer, better and happier with even SOME of your own teeth in your head.

And finally the more teeth you have: maintaining them means you have the best quality of life all round. See the periodontist to ensure that you are privy to the latest laser technology to keep your OWN teeth smiling. This is still the best bang for your buck!

In the wake of the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission’s busiest year on record, concerns have been raised about the impact new permitting procedures will have on filming in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

Last week, film commis-sioner Victoria Weller submit-ted a report to the TNRD’s board of directors, recom-mending a meeting be sought with Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tourism and skills train-ing, at the 2016 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September.

At issue are concerns about the permitting process produc-tion companies must navigate when Crown lands are to be disturbed during filming.

Disturbing Crown lands is defined as digging a hole into, or blowing up, a piece of land.

The report recommends the creation of a streamlined process.

Crown land in the TNRD has been home to a number of productions in recent years, including Monster Trucks, 2012, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and The A-Team.

But there’s concern proce-dures around permitting may deter future projects.

“Motion picture produc-tions wishing to build sets or dig into Crown lands now are faced with new disincentives that will result in the TNRD being negatively impacted,” the report reads.

When contacted by KTW, Weller refused to elaborate on the report.

“There’s nothing to talk about,” she said.

“I think the report speaks for itself. I don’t want to speak about it right now.”

Front Counter BC rep-resents Crown lands with production companies and requires a 140-day waiting period before issuing a filming permit in cases where Crown lands will be disturbed.

Should productions uncover First Nations artifacts dur-ing filming, production must immediately be stopped until an archaeologist is appointed to explore the area.

According to the report, “the waiting period and the fear of potentially having to stop activities indefinitely are resulting in some productions not wishing to film on Crown lands, even on locations where filming has taken place several

times before.”In 2015, The X-Files moved

from Crown land to privately owned property for those rea-sons.

Weller’s report also comes in the wake of Power Rangers filming in downtown Kamloops, a project expected to have been a significant financial boon for the region.

Power Rangers was not filmed on Crown land, but is an indication of the type of impact similar projects can have.

Robin Smith, chairwoman of the film commission and the TNRD director for Logan Lake, said time can be of the essence for production companies and some might not have time to navigate the process with Front Counter BC.

She’s hopeful a meeting with the minister can alleviate some of the film commission’s concerns with the process.

“I understand there are some other film commissions that are struggling with that and it seems to be an appetite of the industry to try and make that change,” she said of the permitting process.

“I guess that’s the first step, is just bringing it to the atten-tion of the ministry and let-ting them know that it has the potential to be impactful.”

The X-Files, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, moved production in B.C. to private property from Crown land due to new permitting procedures involving the use of Crown land.

HOROSCOPES MAY 10 - MAY 16, 2016ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals. This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD
