Grandmothers’ support knows no borders The CanGo Grannies are a grassroots organization that began with three grandmothers who were inspired by the words of Stephen Lewis when he was a guest speaker at the President’s Lecture Series at the University College of the Cariboo on March 25, 2004. At this speech he challenged the attending women to do something to help ease the burden of African grandmothers who have watched their own children die are now raising their orphaned grandchildren. The grandmothers’ story spread in the Kamloops community and the CanGo Grannies have increased to over 35 equally passionate grandmothers committed to easing the pain that HIV/AIDS has inflicted on the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The CanGo Grannies are organized to raise awareness and funds to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s projects in 14 Sub-Saharan countries in Africa. The CanGo Grannies have raised over $50,000 for the Foundation and continue to loan their voices to the desperate cry for help half a world away. These ladies have a connection to the unsung heroes of Africa; they also have grandchildren who they love. This connec-

tion of loved ones has created a bond, which knows no borders or limits. They feel the pain of the grandmothers who have seen their own children die because of HIV/AIDS and now have to care for their grandchildren. The women of Africa worry what will happen to these precious loved ones if they pass away as well? It is the mission of the CanGo Grannies to help out in anyway they can. Ann Milliken is one of the founding CanGo Grannies: “I heard Stephen Lewis speak before I retired and knew of the situation in Africa. It is a huge problem with 14 million orphans in Africa.” These orphans only have their grandparents to look after them. “They are in a horrible position. The grandmothers can’t often afford to send their grandchildren to school,” adds Ann. “It was hard not to want to do something to help.” Guaranteed you have seen the work of these ladies around the community. They are found regularly at the Famers’ Market, Art in the Park, the Pottery Guild and TRU International AIDS to name only a few events. It is here they sell jewelry, tote bags, art cards, dolls and T-shirts. - continued on page 2

May 7 marked McHappy Day at McDonalds. Kim Eliason served customers with a smile all day as one dollar from every Big Mac, Happy Meal and any hot McCafe beverage sold was donated. McHappy Day results are in and with the help of this amazing city, guests, managers and crew they surpassed their goal. $76,075.68 was raised and every single dollar is going the Royal Inland Hospital’s pediatric ward for the purchase of an infant giraffe warmer that will be used with caesarian births.

Open burning restrictions effective immediately Effective at noon on May 15, the size of open fires will be restricted in most of the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. This prohibition applies to all areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre except the Clearwater Fire Zone and the Salmon Arm Fire Zone. The Clearwater Fire Zone and the Salmon Arm Fire Zone will
become subject to this prohibition on June 15, when all open burning will be prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre. Anyone lighting Category two or three fires outside of those two zones must extinguish any such fires by noon on May 15. This prohibition will remain in effect until October 15, or until further notice. This prohibition does not ban
Danger of high, fast moving water in the small tributaries The City of Kamloops is advising that elevated levels and fast moving water is being reported in the smaller tributaries throughout the city. Some of these tributaries include Peterson Creek, Tranquille Creek and Campbell Creek. Dale Mclean, Fire Chief says, “We ask the public to exercise extreme caution around these creeks. Make sure your pets are on leashes and keep away from the water.” The public is reminded that rivers and creeks may become dangerous as water levels rise due to fast moving water. In addition to the dangers of increased water flow along creeks, high water flows can cause bank erosion and instability. Please avoid all streams and water bodies with rising levels. Ditches and culverts can also prove dangerous with fast moving water and debris, so caution needs to be taken when approaching ditches and culverts. The City of Kamloops asks the public if you come across a blocked/ obstructed culvert or ditch within the city boundaries to contact Public Works at 250-828-3461.
campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but it does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local government authorities regarding any current prohibitions. Since April 1, Kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to 49 wildfire incidents. Many of these wildfires resulted from poorly planned open burning. The Kamloops Fire Centre stretches from the northern border of Wells Gray Park to the U.S. border to the south, and from the Bridge River Glacier west of Gold Bridge to the Monashee Mountains east of Lumby. For information about open burning and tips on making responsible burning decisions, please download one of the open burning guides at: bcwildfire.ca/ hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans. asp.

On May 7 the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) hosted its Service Day. Les Nolin from Vision Services at the CNIB is looking at a new age magnifier which lights ups to make reading even easier.
International Museum Day Every year since 1977, International Museum Day is held worldwide sometime around May 18. This year, more than 35,000 museums are getting ready to recognize the event in 143 countries on the five continents. At the Kamloops Art Gallery all visitors can enjoy free admission to the Gallery Saturday, May 17. Unreal continues in the central galleries, Rodney Konopaki and Rhonda Neufeld’s Suggestions from Kamloops in The Cube and The Swewll Project on the BMO Open Gallery. The theme of the International Museum Day 2014, Museum Collections Make Connections, reminds us that museums are living institutions that help create bonds between visitors, generations and cultures around the world. In the case of the Kamloops Art Gallery, acquisitions to the Gallery’s permanent collection are ongoing and the collection now includes over 2,800 works of art available for display, research and loan to other galleries
and museums. A Member-Only Tour of the Gallery’s permanent collection was held May 4 as a way of thanking their members for their support and sharing new acquisitions to their permanent collection with them.
Unreal art battle at KAG Inspired by the current exhibition Unreal, on Thursday, May 15 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, the Kamloops Art Gallery will transform their studios into a Surreal battleground. Costumed contestants of all ages take turns climbing onstage to battle oneon-one in a blind-folded painting contest. Participants will be judged on their costume, their on-stage performance and their ability to depict a randomly selected subject in 60 seconds or less while blind-folded. The winner will be awarded a solo show in the BMO Open Gallery from April to June 2015. No pre-registration or experience is required for this free event.
Thompson Rivers University ranked first out of 51 applications submitted for the 2014 Aid to Small Universities (ASU) grant, providing just one more example of the depth and breadth of its research capacity and quality. The grant, which totals $87,556 over three years, will be used for the development of a Research Centre for Community and Cultural Engagement, with a focus on two key research areas: Traditional Knowledge, Language and Cultural Resource Management in Small City and Rural Settings and Homelessness in Small Cities. Another exciting venture funded through this grant is No Straight Lines: The Homeless Play Project, which provides an excellent example of the university working together with community partners. No Straight Lines involves the creation and performance of a play by individuals who have experienced homelessness. The project has been approved as part of the City of Kamloops’ Homelessness Action Plan (HAP), and involves TRU faculty in the theatre, english and sociology departments along with partners with the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way, ASK, the Elizabeth Fry Society and the City of Kamloops. The performance will run over four nights in August. No Straight Lines offers benefits across the spectrum, providing outstanding student research training as well as generating new information about homelessness and marginalized communities in small cities.

Jungle fever at the Zoo If you are looking for a more unique dining experience, stop by the Zoo Ice Cream Parlor and Creperie at 338 Seymour Street. Owner James and Louise Thomsen first opened the shop in April of 2010. “I was in Hawaii when I was younger and went to an ice cream parlor and loved the idea,” comments James. Everything about this shop is authentic. You will enjoy their unique and delicious crepe options along with waffles, hot dogs and specialized poutines like the BLT and baked potato with sour cream and real bacon bits variations. “We offer good classic comfort foods,” James adds. “This is a great spot to hangout in the summer.” They also have a vegetarian section in their crepe menu. At first glance, you definitely get the ice cream parlor aspect of the business, but when you step a little further inside you will see the Kamloops Cigar and Pipe Store. “It is something I have always wanted to do,” says James. “I like the ci-
gars and have a passion for cigars. My grandfather was a master cigar roller in Denmark for many many years. The cigar shop came into play in November of 2010.” The newest project James has great pride in is the new jungle themed mural on his walls. “Local artist Kelly Wright is doing the mural. It has the theme of Central America and the Myans. I love Belize and that is what this mural is about. The Jaguar looks like it is looking right at you. Kelly is definitely quite the artist,” says an excited James. Whether you are looking for a cold treat, warm eats or a smooth cigar, the Zoo Ice Cream Parlor and Creperie and Kamloops Cigar and Pipe Store is the place to be. The ice cream parlor offers good prices, good food and good fun. The cigar shop has the largest selection of cigars in town. “No one has more knowledge than me when it comes to cigars,” James states.

Cyclists reclaim the streets with Critical Mass Cycling is not only a fun activity to do in your free time, it is a sustainable means of transportation for daily commuting. To promote this initiative in Kamloops, some locals got together about five years ago to create the Kamloops Critical Mass riding group. Critical Mass is a cycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month. The event originated in 1992 in San Francisco; by the end of 2003, the event was being held in over 300 cities around the world. Critical Mass has been described as “monthly politicalprotest rides”, and characterized as being part of a social movement. It has been described as a “monthly protest by cyclists reclaiming the streets.” The Kamloops Critical Mass group is a gathering of cyclists, not in protest of vehicles, but in celebration of bicycling. They aim In Lansdowne Village to show people that riding your bike #225 - 450 Lansdowne is a fun, healthy alternativeStreet to driving a car and once each month they 250-571-1377 like to gather and celebrate the right to ride. They meet at Riverside Park by the tennis courts at 5:15pm on the last Friday of every month. Donovan Cavers, one of the promoters of Critical Mass and advocate for the group, is thrilled about the new season of riding. “We are here to promote cycling,” comments Donovan. “Bicycles are road users like vehicles, but most people don’t know that. Plus, it is fun to ride with a bunch of people.” According to the Motor Vehicle Act of British Columbia, a person operat-
ing a cycle has the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle. Unlike many other Critical Mass groups around the world, the Kamloops participants don’t block traffic. They simply follow the rules of the road and hopefully encourage more people to use their bikes. “We always stay in one lane and most drivers are courteous,” comments Donovan. The group is very flexible when it comes to where they ride and for how long. “We usually only ride for about 30 or 45 minutes,” adds Donovan. “It is a leisurely pace.” Sometimes there are only a few people who can make it out and sometimes there are up to 30 people enjoying the weather and company. “It is summer time and cycling is a feasible and sustainable way to get around,” Donovan says “Critical Mass is a great lead up to Bike to Work Week,” Donovan comments. Bike to Work Week is just around the corner from May 26 to June 1. “I think this month will be a big one for us because of Bike to Work Week being on the same week. I encourage people to get their bikes out of their garage, dust it off and give it a try.” If you would like to learn more about the Critical Mass monthly rides please visit the group’s Facebook page at Kamloops Critical Mass Ride. Also make sure you know the rules of the road for a cyclist to protect yourself and other motorists at bikesense.bc.ca/ch4.htm.

BBQ to celebrate KYSA This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association. The KYSA was “formed� in 1964 when four school teachers named Geoff Cook (Valleyview-Dallas), Hubie Fynn (South Shore), Brian Ryan (Brocklehurst) and Pat O’Brien (NorKam-Westsyde) thought it would be prudent to start a program that would help develop boys for their senior secondary school teams. They felt that if they had any hope of being competitive with schools on the coast, they’d have to start developing players at a much younger age.

 The foursome managed to put together a handful of teams and a schedule and began to teach the boys the skills required to play the game proficiently.

 That seemingly insignificant step (at the time) gave rise to what is now the largest youth sports organization in Kamloops. An organization that has flourished through the hard work and dedication of numerous volunteers.

 To celebrate this milestone, the
