The engine of this pickup truck went up in flames Wednesday afternoon in the parking lot of the Aberdeen McDonald’s. Kamloops firefighters managed to quickly douse the blaze before the flames could spread. There were no injuries reported.

Classrooms designated for elementary school music and computer teachers were a “luxury,” according to Kamloops-Thompson board of education chair Meghan Wade. “I think we got used to having a separate classroom and I have an extreme faith in our teachers,” she told KTW in response to increased enrolment leading to some schools having to turn computer labs and music rooms into general classrooms. In some schools, the music and computer programs have become mobile. Teachers now wheel mobile carts into classrooms while using offices and staff rooms to prep. “So, instead of going into the computer lab, the computer lab is coming into your classroom. It’s the same as our music programs,” Wade said. Asked if students lose anything from not having a specific classroom for such subjects, Wade said: “They’re still getting it.” She noted secondary schools have classrooms for band and choir because they are “actual courses in the timetable. “But, quite typically, some of the computer work, the music, the P.E., this

is done through prep time,” Wade said. As the first month on the academic calendar flips, schools in the district continue to feel the pinch of overcrowding. Wade said schools are crowded, but noted classrooms aren’t. “We are meeting the small class size and composition as dictated by the Supreme Court decision,” she said, referring to the October 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision that ordered the provincial government to restore clauses deleted from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation contract by the Liberal government of Gordon Campbell in 2002. Those clauses deal with class size, the number of special-needs students who can be in a class and the number of specialist teachers required in schools. Valleyview secondary is 130 per cent over capacity and Wade called portables a “short-term solution.” Other issues include complicated scheduling of bathroom breaks. “We are making the best of it, as are the teachers in that environment, until a long-term solution is found,” Wade said. Senior staff are reviewing shortterm facility solutions, with a report expected before the board in December, while a campaign for more capital funding amps up. See SD73, A2

Citing a need for school space in areas of pressure, Wade said trustees will be out in the community in the coming months, seeking support for increased provincial funding in the school district. Conversations with the Aurora Rotary Club and the City of Kamloops are underway and the campaign is expected to last at least three months. “This isn’t just an issue for the school district and the school board, this is an issue for our community,” Wade said. Along with the brochure, Schools: An Investment in Our Future, the district’s website, ourschoolsourfuturesd73.com, calls on the public to send an email or letter to government officials “who need to hear your concerns.” Provincial spending

on B.C. schools from 2001 to 2017 was estimated at $2 billion, with Kamloops-Thompson receiving $10.7 million. That compares to $114.2 million spent in Kelowna, while several others districts, including Victoria, Prince George and Vernon, all received more in infrastructure funding. Wade said the goal is to build a list of people willing to add their names to the conversation. “We will have a database of thousands of citizens in Kamloops and district that will go to the provincial government and say, ‘It’s our turn. This is our future and we need this money,’” she said. In the meantime, the December mid-term facilities report will make recommendations to alleviate pressure. Wade said that review will look at everything — including

reopening schools and reconfiguring bus routes and catchment changes. “I have no idea what they’re going to tell us, I have no idea what they’re going to recommend,” Wade said. “But at that point, those discussions will start and community participation will be involved, depending upon what those recommendations are. “We are a school district that is committed to neighbourhood schools, so we will be doing our best to maintain that.” LOCAL PRIORITIES The Top 4 priority list in capital expenditures: • Valleyview secondary needs to be expanded at a cost of $22 million as it is at 137 per cent capacity and uses eight portables. Projections have enrolment at Valleyview at 176 per cent of capacity by 2025 if the building

remains as is; • Westmount elementary needs a $9 million expansion due to growth in Batchelor Heights. There are now five portables on the Westmount property. • Pineview Valley’s tremendous growth means an elementary school is needed there to alleviate pressure on nearby schools in Aberdeen, Dufferin and Sahali. Cost of a new school is pegged at $18 million. • In recent years, the district said South Kamloops secondary, which was built in 1951, needed to replaced at an estimated cost of $50 million. In 2015, trustees approved more than $400,000 in renovations and doubled the number of portables to four. The district now says the school’s life can be extended with an addition and new gymnasium, at a cost of $17 million.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Stone pushes B.C. Liberal leadership candidates to refuse taxpayer subsidies TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

On the eve of his own run for the leadership, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone is staking out a position that his B.C. Liberal rivals aren’t yet prepared to take. Stone posted a video on his Facebook page on the weekend, hinting that he aims to replace his long-time friend Christy Clark and challenging his rivals to rule out accepting the $2.50-per-vote payment that the NDP government wants to bring in next year. If passed in the current legislature session, the bill to ban corporate and union donations would trigger payments from the provincial treasury of about $7 million each to the B.C. Liberals and the NDP over the next four years. The NDP bill would add another $4 million each on top of that to refund half of each party’s election-year expenses.

The B.C. Green Party would collect a smaller amount, based on total votes received in the 2017 election, and leader Andrew Weaver says he will support the subsidy that neither he nor Premier John Horgan campaigned on. “Under my leadership, the B.C. Liberal Party will not accept taxpayer subsidies as proposed by the NDP,” Stone said. “Political parties should be expected to stand on their own and be supported financially by those who want to support them, not by taxpayers.” Other B.C. Liberal leadership hopefuls emphatically agree with the second part. But pressed repeatedly in interviews this week, leadership hopefuls Mike Bernier, Andrew Wilkinson and Mike de Jong stuck to the party line, as did outsider Conservative MP Dianne Watts. Job one is to stop the program for all parties, by convincing the B.C. Greens

to support an amendment that would drop the public subsidy and allow only individual donations. “The junior partner in the government, Mr. Weaver and the Green Party, have indicated a willingness to consider an amendment, so that’s our first line of attack on it,” de Jong said. “The main focus is to just make sure it doesn’t pass in the house, and then this whole discussion about whether we accept it or not will be a moot point,” Bernier said. That caucus solidarity was first broken by Penticton MLA Dan Ashton, who paid for his own byelection after moving from the mayor’s office to MLA in 2013, and ruled out taking a public subsidy before Stone did. At his campaign launch this week, Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson refused to rule out taking the money. He also defended the provincial tax

credit for voluntary donations, noting they return 75 per cent only for the first $100 donations. That drops to 50 per cent for up to a $550 donation, 33 per cent for donations of more than $550, with a tax credit cap of $500 that means donations above $1,100 receive no credit. The tax credit is designed to encourage small-scale participation, Wilkinson said. “An individual still has to put money out of their own pocket,” he said, in a system he contended has worked well across Canada. “What I don’t like is having everybody in this room told that they have to put $100 on the table, and the NDP are going to take $45 of it and the Green Party are going to take another $10.” What Wilkinson left unsaid is that the remaining $45 would go to the B.C. Liberal Party, in fact slightly more than the NDP because the B.C. Liberals won the popular vote by a slim margin.

A Shuswap man charged with murder in relation to a hit-and-run crash last year that killed a Kamloops man will return to court next month. Raymond Edward Swann was in Kamloops provincial court on Monday setting a date for a pre-trial conference ahead of a preliminary inquiry expected to take place next year. Swann was originally charged with criminal negligence causing death in connection to the April 3, 2016, crash that killed 60-year-old Brian Watson. In February, prosecutors laid an additional charge of second-degree murder. Watson’s widow, Ila, has told KTW her husband was riding his motorcycle on Squilax-Anglemont Road near Chase when he was rear-ended by a pickup truck, allegedly being driven by Swann.

Murder suspect back in court

Brian Watson was killed on Oct. 3, 2016, leaving behind wife Ila (above) to grieve the loss of a man she married at age 18.

Ila Watson said she was told by police the collision appeared to be deliberate, but noted her husband and Swann did not know one another. Brian Watson worked in Kamloops for School District No. 73 as a facilities painter. Swann, who is from Sorrento, is not in custody. His pre-trial conference is scheduled to take place on Oct. 10.

70 days in prison for indecent act A Kamloops man has been handed a 70-day jail sentence after being caught on security cameras earlier this month pleasuring himself outside a Barnhartvale home. Christopher Mathieu pleaded guilty to one count each of committing an indecent act in a public place and

breach of probation. The 29-year-old was caught on security cameras outside the house of a Barnhartvale woman in the early-morning hours of Sept. 12. He left flowers and a note on her car and then proceeded to masturbate between the vehicle and the house.

In 2016, Mathieu was jailed for 28 days after pleading guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and two firearms offences. He was also placed on a two-year probation term and has since breached those conditions nine times. — Tim Petruk

Tranquille businesses battling drug use, prostitution, loitering NSBIA SURVEY FINDS PROBLEMS CONCENTRATED BETWEEN YEW STREET AND OVERLANDERS BRIDGE ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Businesses in the Tranquille Market are struggling with increases in prostitution, drug use and “aggressive and negative loitering,” according to survey results released by the North Shore Business Improvement Association. Of the 140 businesses that responded to the survey (76 per cent of which are located in the Tranquille Market), 78 per cent reported problems with loitering and drug use and 54 per cent reported an increase in vandalism. Asked if they were seeing “drug use debris” such as needles discarded around their businesses, 59 per cent said they were often seeing drug paraphernalia. Another 23 per cent said they sometimes noticed needles. Fifty-eight per cent of businesses said the debris is often an ongoing concern, with 20 per cent reporting it

is sometimes a concern. Businesses also reported concerns with graffiti, with 33 per cent of responders saying they have been tagged often and 35 per cent saying they are sometimes tagged. Of responders, 54 per cent said they do not feel problems on the streets have the attention of any level of government. On the positive site, the NSBIA noted that City of Kamloops Coordinated Enforcement Task Force has already responded to help reduce the severity of issues identified in the survey. In addition, businesses responding say theft is down from this time last year. In a release, NSBIA general manager Stephen Puhallo said follow-up calls with businesses showed those located in the Brocklehurst Shopping Centre and other areas of the North Shore are not seeing the same issues to similar degrees. Within the Tranquille Market,

Puhallo said issues appear to be most concentrated between Yew Street and Overlanders Bridge. “Our businesses do not see this as solely a ‘North Shore problem,’ but for our purpose and area, more defined to one section of one commercial district within our business improvement area,” the survey results state. A second survey for North Shore customers, to which 1,000 people responded, also showed concerns about drug use and loitering, with 59 per cent of customers reporting problems often and 32 per cent saying drug use and loitering were sometimes a problem. The majority of respondents said both issues had discouraged them from shopping on the North Shore at least some of the time (46 per cent sometimes, 38 per cent often). The NSBIA board of directors now plans to undertake the survey annually for use as a benchmarking tool.

WE HAVE A NEW

BABY BOY!

Kamloops voters go to the polls on Saturday, Sept. 30. The byelection will fill the mayor’s chair and two councillor seats. The byelection is being held due to the resignations on June 30 of mayor Peter Milobar (who was elected Kamloops-North Thompson MLA in the May 9 provincial election) and councillors Ken Christian (who resigned his seat to run for mayor) and Marg Spina (who stepped down to focus on cancer treatment). There are 12 polling places open on Saturday, all schools, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Here is where voters can cast ballots: • Lloyd George elementary, 830 Pine St., South Kamloops; • Aberdeen elementary, 2191 Van Horne Dr., Aberdeen; • South Sa-Hali elementary, 1585 Summit Dr., Sahali; • Dufferin elementary, 1880 Hillside Dr., Dufferin; • Beattie elementary, 492 McGill Rd., Sahali; • Valleyview secondary, 1950 Valleyview Dr., Valleyview; • Dallas elementary, 296 Harper Rd., Dallas; • Rayleigh elementary, 306 Puett Ranch Rd., Rayleigh; • NorKam senior secondary, 730 12th St., North Shore; • Parkcrest elementary, 2170 Parkcrest Ave., Brocklehurst; • Westmount elementary, 745 Walkem Rd., Westsyde; • Arthur Stevenson elementary, 2890 Bank Rd., Westsyde.

Bad roads, crime, homelessness and general curiosity all helped to bring voters out Tuesday night for one of the last all-candidate meet and greets before the city’s byelection on Saturday. Nearly all of the 27 candidates for mayor and two council seats were at the North Shore Community Centre to speak with residents in a round-table forum.

Though the event came on the same day the North Shore Business Improvement Association (which also organized the forum) released a survey showing businesses in nearby Tranquille Market are struggling with drug use and dealing outside their doors, concerns of residents at the meeting appeared more broadbased. Katherine Wunderlich said she is concerned about the amount of money the city is putting

Property owners who do not live in Kamloops can also vote, as long as they meet the preceding criteria and have owned property in the city for at least 30 days. Once at the polling place, voters must present two pieces of identification, at least one of which that has a signature and at least one that has an address. There are six candidates for mayor and 21 candidates seeking one of two councillor seats. Voters can vote for a maximum of one mayoral candidate and a maximum of two councillor candidates, but can also vote for fewer than the maximum.

into roads in outlying areas, noting residents in Barnhartvale have complained some of their roads are unsafe. “They’ve got boulevards going up everywhere on the South Shore, but nothing in Barnhartvale, Westsyde or the North Shore,” she said. “They’re like the poor cousins.” Wunderlich also wants candidates to do more to make Venture Kamloops accountable to the public and make it clearer whether the

organization is doing a good job. Devin Gambler had one issue to discuss with candidates — homelessness. He said he is concerned some candidates want to impose solutions on the city without talking to groups already working on the issues and finding out what has worked locally. “I worry some of these candidates are going to be generals having never held a gun, never fought on the front

A North Shore resident who would only give his name as Trevor did mention crime in the area as a concern. “It’s just look the other way,” he said of the attitude at city hall toward the neighbourhood, asking why the city can’t develop on the North Shore a version of the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team run downtown by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association. Another voter said he was simply “fed up” with the sitting city council. Another voter, Jason English, recently moved back to the city after a few years away and wanted to get a sense of who is running. He said he was impressed to see more candidates with arts or social-services backgrounds. “It seems to be a lot more diverse backgrounds and perspectives to what I’m used to,” he said.

ecoCandidates’ final thoughts on eve of vote diesel

LOCAL NEWS

With the Kamloops byelection set for this Saturday, KTW asked each councillor candidate to offer a final message to voters. We asked each candidate to touch on two main issues that compelled them to run for office. We asked for succinct answers and they will also run in Friday’s edition. Much more on the byelection campaign, including candidate contact information, is online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. NICHOLAS ADAMS “We face very visible issues around housing and addiction. “Our challenge is not only the issues themselves, but the misconceptions and stigmas around such problems. We need to find solutions that work not only for those in need, but the people who surround them. It is not us versus them in this, we are all in it together. “Misconceptions and bad communication are an issue that has harmed the city on multiple occasions. Kamloops must ensure it is educating people on decisions and proposals, as well as assure transparency. “Kamloops must listen to its people, and meet their needs and expectations.” NANCY BEPPLE “First, to stay vibrant, Kamloops needs jobs. I’ve heard this from young people, from business people and from retirees. “Kamloops is almost out of vacant light industrial land. One way Kamloops could increase job opportunities is to develop more light industrial land. “Developers and provincial and federal governments can be partners, but city council must lead the way. Second, Kamloops must be more walking- and biking-friendly. “Community associations in all parts of the city have told me pedestrians and cyclists feel unsafe in their neighborhoods.

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 “Safer streets are better for kids, seniors and all of us.” RAY DHALIWAL “Safety and security of our citizens is the biggest issue facing Kamloops right now, followed by keeping our young adults working at home. “We need to support law enforcement to keep pace of what is happening in Kamloops. We need to do a better job of attracting businesses that pay a higher-thanliving wage. People are frustrated with the status quo and want real change reflective of what they value.” JON EADIE “I believe the two biggest issues facing the city are the disconnect within the community as a collective body and the lack of us working together as a community to better the city that I want to work for. “I believe these two issues are root causes of the majority of important issues facing the city today; therefore, the two biggest ones. “United we stand, divided we fall. I care about people and know how to take care of business for the people in a realistic way.” SADIE HUNTER “There is a need for a shift in the labour market. There’s currently a shortage of highly skilled employees to fill professional jobs, coinciding with a lack of stable jobs that don’t require years of education, but allow people to live above the poverty line. “A combination of a focused labour attraction, skills training and living-wage strategy will help address some of these challenges. “At the same time, we need to be mindful of how growing our economy might impact the housing market

and ensuring affordable housing needs are met across the housing continuum — growing our community and economy together.” DENNIS GIESBRECHT “I believe two of the biggest problems facing Kamloops are unemployment and underemployment. “Many people (especially youth) are having a hard time finding a career and are forced to take anything to attempt to make ends meet. We need investment in business and coordination with our educational institutions to have the right skills for the jobs and the right jobs for the skills. “With the cooperation and communication between all the stakeholders, we can fill local jobs with locals and let families and individuals prosper locally. Good jobs are the best social program possible.” JIM JOHAL “First pressing issue is lost job opportunities. “We must change our ways or Kamloopsians are going to keep missing out on a wave of jobs. “Businesses are relocating from bigger cities to other cities and Kamloops has to do more to capture them. “That’s why we need to control spending, keep taxes low, remove red tape and expand incentives. I know how to make this happen. “Secondly, we need more affordable housing. We must change our zoning bylaws to create more secondary suites and higher-density multi-family rentals. “And we need to initiate the community engagement processes for our city-owned properties, so when federal or provincial grants come up, there are no delays.

“Planning and timing is crucial. This issue is true to my heart as well.” STEPHEN KARPUK “The two biggest issues facing Kamloops is our attitude and our divisiveness and they are related. “Collectively, we need all of Kamloops to start stating things as a challenge to rise up to, instead of a problem. “Kamloops is a special city, a welcoming city. Now we need to respect each other and our values, be they the same or different. “We all love this city and we need to show that in how we conduct ourselves in every day. “Then we need to go forward together and make Kamloops a more healthy, affordable, vibrant and prosperous place for all.” KEVIN KRUEGER “There is consensus that some 2,500 people need a home in Kamloops. “Ken Christian and I have similar ideas on the way forward: There are many homes in Kamloops which only have one or two occupants, and could house more. “This would be financially advantageous to the owners, and beneficial in many other ways, e.g. companionship, friendship, mentoring, teaching, leadership, shared chores. Gardening, yard work, repairs, maintenance, security. “There need be no cost to taxpayers except the time of existing staff. “In the 10 years before our team formed B.C.’s government, zero seniors’ homes were built in Kamloops. We built beautiful new homes all over town and eliminated a frightful waiting list. “Safety and security of people and age in Kamloops, especially seniors, youth and children. I have a plan to shine a light on neighbourhoods, public spaces and business districts to preserve Kamloops’ excellent quality of life.”

NO MATTER YOUR VIEW — VOTE

he campaigning is coming to an end and, in two days, voters in Kamloops will trek to the polls to elect a mayor and two councillors. The byelection on Saturday will, in reality, send a caretaker trio to city hall as de facto campaigning for the general election of October 2018 will soon begin. But the new mayor and two new councillors will have a massive advantage in next year’s election due to name recognition alone. What they bring to the table depends on how — and if — you vote. There are six people vying for mayor and 21 others seeking the two councillor seats and all the reasons as to why they are running and what they hope to do for Kamloops can be found in these pages and online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. General civic elections usually attract a tepid voter turnout of about 30 per cent, give or take a few percentage points. Civic byelections almost always deliver far fewer voters. The encouraging part of this byelection is the large number of candidates seeking so few seats (though many are likely using this vote as a test for next year’s general election) and the relatively healthy advance-vote turnout. The first two days of advance polls last week saw more people casting ballots than did during the first two days of advance voting in the 2014 general civic election. (A third advance poll was held on Wednesday). If those numbers hold up through Saturday, we could be looking at a much more robust turnout than anticipated — but it is likely not to reach the 33 per cent mark set in 2014. Do your part and visit one of 12 polling places on Saturday. Every one is listed on page A6 of today’s paper and on our website, along with the city site at kamloops.ca. Like the status quo? Vote.

Some food for thought

housands of citizens of Kamloops, including about one in five children, live in poverty. They are often hungry, homeless or without stable housing. They are at greater risk of violence, unable to access adequate medical care or social supports or suffering from addiction and mental illness. Many have suffered unspeakable brutality and are coping with the multiple traumas a life of poverty inflicts. Despite this, the recent approach of the RCMP and City of Kamloops has not been to help these fellow citizens, but to further marginalize and humiliate them by cracking down on their shopping carts, seizing them at the behest of local business owners and multinational corporations. No criminal charges have been laid and no evidence linking anyone to any thefts has been proven in a court of law, but, practically speaking, this does not matter as street people lack the political power to assert their constitutional rights — a fact the city and police know only too well. Sadly, the poor are among the groups in our society often targeted without reasonable grounds, their property seized, their possessions dumped and their lives upended without any due process. Citizens who wish to stand in solidarity with our homeless and marginalized populations should demand answers from the RCMP, candidates for municipal office and city officials as to how this egregious waste of taxpayer resources can be justified. How is it that resources are too

SHOT scarce to help people find a way out of poverty, but thousands of dollars can be directed toward a campaign of bullying and harassment against our most vulnerable citizens? Homelessness and poverty are scourges to be eliminated, but attacking the poor and homeless is not only morally indefensible, but ineffective. If people wish to avoid the sight of poor people pushing shopping carts around downtown streets, then the causes of poverty must be addressed. Tackling hunger is one way to mitigate poverty and there are numerous positive approaches city government could employ with the goal of making Kamloops hunger-free. We could follow the lead of other cities in B.C. by requiring “food assets” be considered as amenities and mandated as part of any large future developments. What this would mean in practice is that any major development would have to set aside space for initiatives like community kitchens and gardens, facilities to support neighbourhood food

networks, edible landscaping and community food markets. Resources like this do much more than simply feed people, they give people living in poverty a place they are welcome and an opportunity to be productive. One need only attend a Friday bingo night at New Life Community Kamloops to see a sense of belonging and community is just as significant as the hot dogs or nachos served. Food assets help to build these bonds of community. One impoverished citizen described places poor and hungry people can gather as “somewhere you can feel like a person again.” Nourishing, empowering and providing safe spaces for the poor is a much more successful approach — ethically and fiscally — than criminalizing poverty. Hospitals triage patients according to the degree of urgency they present. The poor and hungry require the most urgent care in our community, so they should be our first priority. Future development ought to be undertaken with their well-being in mind. Voters should ask the mayoral and council candidates in Saturday’s byelection whether they support adding food assets as amenities to Kamloops’ Official Community Plan and what specific policies they will support to end poverty and hunger in our city.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DISTRACTING US DRIVERS IN POLITICAL SEASON Editor: Distracted driving has become a big thing these days — and rightly so. Innocent people are hurt and sometimes killed because of it. Laws have been put in place to prevent distracted drivers and penalties are getter stiffer. This is why it is disturbing to me that, come election time, political candidates throw all of this out the window. They do this by getting sometimes up to 30 supporters to stand out on the streets jump-

ing around and swinging their signs in front of drivers. Popular locations for doing this are at the busy corner of Battle and Columbia streets downtown and at the north end of Overlanders Bridge. Be it the northbound or southbound lanes on the bridge, one is an off-ramp and the other is an on-ramp from Tranquille Road. People are focused on changing lanes to get off the bridge or trying to merge to get on the bridge.

I have to ask: Do the sign people ever think of what could happen and are they going to stand responsible for what might happen? You can’t tell them to leave because they get quite upset and, from personal experience, quite aggressive. Maybe the distracted-driving law should include people who are doing the distracting — namely federal, provincial and civic politicians. Brad Swank Kamloops

CAN ANYBODY KEEP HIS/HER WORD? Editor: Re: KTW’s editorial of Sept. 21 (‘Betrayed again by a politician’): There really is a media outlet with the temerity to mention Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s lie to the people of Canada. Trudeau has pulled off a Teflon mistake of Trumpian proportions. Was former minister of democratic institutions Maryam Monsef mandated to fail? Trudeau threw away the opportunity to make history. As the KTW editorial points out: “There should be hell to pay.” Which raises the question: Why has Trudeau gotten away with his betrayal? In the House of Commons, calling a MP a liar means you either withdraw the comment or get escorted our of the House. The voters of Canada should be calling for the removal of Trudeau. Ingrid Rice’s political cartoon on the same page of the Sept. 21 edito-

rial reflects politicians will say anything to get votes and promptly do what they were going to do, usually what is in their own self-interest. Suggesting voters are apathetic is simply a tactic to place responsibility on the voters. Voters do care. Voters are angry, disillusioned and frustrated.

What is the point of participating? Politicians seem incapable of keeping their word. Voters have given up hope and have chosen to disengage. The future of democracy in Canada is not bright. Ray Jones Kamloops

LET’S GET BUILDING HOUSING Editor: Once we all agree new housing in Kamloops is needed, then not only will the housing market find its footing, but so, too, will the economy through jobs and training. We all want to build something. I know this, as do others. Regardless of views, political or otherwise, let’s get busy. Karl Wolfe Kamloops

Local politicians at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention will once again have cannabis on the brain. Kamloops Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh said a resolution up for a vote during the Vancouver event calls on the province to involve mayors and councils in early-stage consultations on how marijuana will be sold in the province once it become legal in 2018. “We want to make sure we are consulted and involved in what goes on because it’s going to have a lot of impacts for us in terms of zoning, policing, business license inspection and those kind of thing,” said Singh. Affordable housing is also high on the priority list, with resolutions around funding and increased flexibility. Singh said he and councillors Dieter Dudy and Donovan Cavers also have their own meeting with Minister for Municipal Affairs and Housing Selina Robinson,

who they will encourage to keep Kamloops top-of-mind for funding. “We want to be very close to the top of the line to be ready to take those initiatives on, but we also want to show them some of the challenges we’ve had,” Singh said, adding the meeting — like many he and other local politicians will take — is also about figuring out what the NDP’s priorities are. Other meetings will include talks with BC Transit and the RCMP and a fact-finding meeting with Airbnb, which comes after some local hoteliers have approached council with concerns about the vacation rental website’s impact on their industry, Singh said. Also on the agenda is a meeting with the Ministry of Public Safety to discuss improvements to emergency social services signups, a program that was top of mind for many wildfire evacuees in Kamloops this summer. Singh said a meeting with Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy will focus

on potential collaborations to improve services locally, as well as a push for a provincial strategy on needles. Singh said he doesn’t know exactly what should be done on the needle front, but said the province needs to balance needs of drug users for clean, safe supplies with those of neighbourhoods who have seen discarded needles showing up in playgrounds and outside businesses in large numbers. One strategy being floated would require conversation with a social worker before getting needles. “You shouldn’t be able to just get a really large number without any justification of that,” Singh said. Two members of the Kamloops delegation are looking for spots on the UBCM board. Singh will most likely become first vice-president, one step from president, unless he is successfully challenged from the floor. Dudy, meanwhile, is hoping to challenge for a director’s position. The UBCM convention runs until Friday.

Student city council set for 2018 Ken Zuo is among a group of students who wants to bring young voices into local politics with the creation of a student city council.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another set of city council elections could sweep Kamloops as early as next May — but it will be up to the city’s high school students to elect a mayor and council. The student city council will include student representation from five high schools: NorKam, Valleyview, Westsyde, South Kamloops and Sa-Hali. Two councillors will come from each school, with one student chosen as mayor. “What our job will mostly be is advising and thinking of solutions that could possibly be implemented,” said Ken Zuo, a senior at South Kamloops who has been one of the driving forces behind the council over the past year, along with fellow students Robbie McVittie, Jacob Lawrence and Maggie Gu and former city councillor Marg Spina. “We are highly motivated and we want to see good change happen to our community,” Zuo said. “Youth opinion and young adults’ opinions are very important because 100 per cent of the leaders of tomorrow come from today — and we need to hear their opinions to build a bridge from today to tomorrow.” Zuo, who previously ran a youth volunteer group, said Spina approached him last year to discuss ways to get young people more involved in local government. They have spent nearly a year working with the school district and city staff to begin creating a framework for the group. The student council has received from its adult counterpart at Kamloops City Hall an official blessing to move ahead. Zuo said the goal is to hold the city’s first student elections in May, to avoid conflicting with final exams in June, and, in future years, to allow previous councillors to help out with elections. Students will vote via secret ballot. If more schools sign on to the council, Zuo said, the student council may adopt the type of

ward system city hall has resisted. NorKam and Kamloops Christian School, for instance, might become a ward as they are close enough on the North Shore to allow students to campaign on both campuses.

Already, Zuo said, he can think of plenty of ideas for the council to take on. “We see drug abuse and alcohol abuse every day and it affects us in a lot of ways,” he said, noting as a former student in the NorKam International

Baccalaureate program, he knew of two students who were impacted by B.C.’s ongoing overdose crisis. He said schools should make Naloxone kits available for students to protect themselves. Other topics could

include methane capture and energy production and other climate changerelated measures, or taking on plastic bag use. “Or we were thinking of youth homelessness, especially,” Zuo said. “Earlier on, we met with United Way and they had issues they were tackling with youth homelessness and we thought we could contribute some ideas.” In addition to increasing youth interest in local government, Zuo hopes the project convinces younger people to vote in other elections.

Bombardier takes a hit

Notice to Motorists NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL

WASHINGTON — There’s no question: The shock-and-awe approach to trade disputes is having an impact in the early days of the Trump administration, with the stunner of a 219 per cent duty on Bombardier the latest example of the new tariff-happy, America First climate in Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary even bragged about it when announcing a first duty late Tuesday. In a statement, Wilbur Ross touted a 48 per cent increase from last year in anti-dumping and countervailing cases initiated by the U.S. Department of Commerce. That’s on the heels of a study that found a 26 per cent spike in U.S. trade actions against G20 partners in the first half of this year from the same period in 2016, according to the Center for Economic Policy Research’s Global Trade Alert. The latest decision rewarded Boeing with duties practically three times higher than the U.S. aerospace giant asked for as it argued

Westsyde Road and Grasslands Boulevard Motorists are advised that a new Traffic Signal has been installed at the intersection of Westsyde Road and Grasslands Boulevard. The Signal is scheduled to be put into operation during the week of October 9, 2017. Motorists are asked to please use caution when approaching and driving through this area.

that Bombardier’s subsidies from Canadian taxpayers gave it an unfair entry into the U.S. market. Ross appeared to agree: ‘’The U.S. values its relationships with Canada, but even our closest allies must play by the rules.’’ It’s only the beginning. As a matter of fact, trade experts consulted late Monday agreed on two things: There’s time to fight back and friendlier battlefields to fight on. They urged the Canadian government to choose its battles wisely and not needlessly escalate the dispute. One trade-policy analyst at Washington’s free-market Cato Institute criticized the U.S. department that handled the initial decision. He said later arbiters won’t likely be as hostile. The raison d’etre of the Department of Commerce’s enforcement unit is to protect U.S. companies, said Dan Ikenson, noting it even offers counselling services to help U.S. companies prepare their complaint. It sides with American petition-

ers more than 90 per cent of the time and will certainly clobber Bombardier again with a new anti-dumping duty as early as next week, he said. ‘’The Commerce Department is a pit bull,’’ Ikenson said. ‘’They see it as a sign of success [when they impose a duty] . . . They’re political.’’ It’s different in other forums, he added. The case later heads back to the U.S. International Trade Commission, which must determine whether Boeing has actually suffered and, if not, could cancel the duties. Historical stats show a perfectly even track record: 39 per cent affirmative decisions, 39 per cent negative, 22 per cent of cases withdrawn. Ikenson is urging the Canadians to try their luck in a third venue: the U.S. domestic court system’s Court of International Trade. He said that court is actually friendlier to foreigners, siding with them in a majority of cases. — The Canadian Press

Two of us recently went to the hospital to visit a friend. When we went down the hill on our motorized vehicles, Carol Robertson ended up stuck in the rocks. She had recently been in the hospital, so I was worried she was going to fall. I flagged down a vehicle. A strong, middle-aged man got out of his car to help. He reached over and literally picked Carol and the chair up. I don’t know how he did it because it was so heavy. We didn’t get his name, but we wanted to thank him. He was just so helpful and it went so wonderfully well. — Peggy Barron and Carol Robertson Kamloops

On leaving the Ponderosa Care Facility, after visiting with my mother, I slipped from my shoe and tumbled onto the driveway. A staff member helped me to my feet while two ladies stopped their car and assisted in picking up my purse, helping me into their car and driving me to the hospital. My gratitude and thanks to Phyllis Ring, her friend Lenora and the staff member from Ponderosa. There are no words to express my appreciation to all three ladies for their assistance and kindness. — Joyce Gibbibs Kamloops

popular attraction during last year’s Brewloops won’t return with the beer festival. “No ferris wheel,” said director Mitchell Forgie. “It got in a car accident in Smithers [three] weeks ago. It was obliterated by a semi.” The ride, which was prominently featured in North Kamloops during last year’s block party event, was quite the spectacle, even garnering media coverage from as far as Seattle and Edmonton. Forgie expects it will be back next year, but hopes the last-minute back-up option from Shooting Star Amusements will suffice. “They are bringing us bumper cars at the same price,” he said, noting additional carnival games this year such as the dartballoon throwing game. Brewloops is underway, returning in its third year through Sunday. The event — MITCHELL FORGIE, is a fundraiser for Brewloops director Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Rotary West, but also a five-day celebration at the bottom of a pint glass. The festival continues growing. The block party, for example, has nearly doubled in size — 1,250 tickets compared to last year’s 650. Three years ago, only 350 tickets were released and it didn’t sell out until the day of the event. This year’s larger version sold out earlier this week. The festival’s popularity reflects a craft beer industry that keeps buzzing. A Vancouver Sun story in March credits new rules allowing small brewers to open tasting rooms for the reason behind an explosion of microbreweries in the past five years. Forgie owns Red Beard Cafe in Kamloops, known for its selection of craft beer, which changes from menu to menu. He said craft breweries often sell out of product, unable to keep up with demand. As a result, the strategy he employs is: “send us whatever you can.” “Some of the breweries are permanently sold out,” Forgie said.

Added to that, Iron Road Brewing Company just opened in Kamloops and Forgie noted craft beer now accounts for 12 per cent of liquor sales in B.C. However, while the craft beer market might seem hopping in B.C., Forgie compared that number to 33 per cent in California. “The whole industry still has a long way to grow,” he said. At Brewloops, the amount of craft breweries to be showcased has also increased, up to 19 from about a dozen or so last year. New to the festival are Superflux Beer Company (Vancouver), Iron Road Brewing (Kamloops), Moody Ales (Port Moody), Moon Under Water (Victoria) and Yellow Dog Brewing (Port Moody).

SD73 paying fee for some portables Q: Why did the city of Kamloops charge School District 73 development cost charges to put in portable classrooms at some of its schools when portables don’t hook up to water or sewer lines? A: Development cost charges (or DCCs), are fees charged for building projects — from a new condo building to an addition on your home — which are meant to cover the costs of a growing city, such as road widening or sewer upgrades. Public institutions, such as schools, are charged $86 per square metre in DCCs. While the portable classrooms put in at schools around the district don’t have water or sewer hookups installed, Marvin Kwiatkowski, director of development and engineering services, said in cases where they are being set up because of increased enrolment in schools there is still a greater draw on the city’s infrastructure. “You’ve got more parents

driving to the schools, using up the roads, you’ve got more people flushing the toilets,” he said. But, only four of the portables installed this year by SD73 were installed for that reason — the remainder were put in due to changes in class size and compo-

sition rules which have required districts to shrink the number of students per class. In those cases, Kwiatkowski said the city chose not to charge the school district. “That’s us being reasonable,” he said.

he Kamloops Blazers didn’t have to look far to find their captain for the 20172018 WHL season. They just took a left at the Qu’Appelle Boulevard roundabout and knocked on the door of the Chyzowski residence. Nick Chyzowski, a 20-year-old centre who attended Juniper elementary and Valleyview secondary, was introduced as captain at Sandman Centre on Tuesday. “It’s a pretty proud moment for me and my family,” said Chyzowski, who has 40 goals and 88 points in 273 regular-season games, all with the Blazers. “It’s really special. I got a lot of texts this morning and this afternoon. I have a lot of people on my side and the guys were all really happy for me, which makes it that much more special for me.” Chyzowski, whose younger brother Ryan, 17, plays for the Medicine Hat Tigers, is only the second Kamloops-born Blazers’ captain, the other being Ajay Baines. “It’s a huge honour to be named captain anywhere, but in your hometown and for a franchise like the Blazers, it’s special,” said Baines, who took over the Blazers’ captaincy in his 18-yearold campaign in 1996-1997 and held it until he graduated from junior hockey. “It’s going to be a great transition for him. He plays his heart out every night, every game I’ve been to. It’s a no-brainer to see him as captain.” Chyzowski was in the captain conversation prior to 2016-2017, but team brass gave the C to Collin Shirley at a press conference in August 2016. “This year, we wanted to explore, just to give the guys the opportunity to lead at training camp, to see if it felt good for

Nick Chyzowski (right), skating beside brother Ryan in this photo, will captain the 2017-2018 Kamloops Blazers, making him the second River City product to have the honour. The Blazers (0-2) will play the Vancouver Giants in Langley on Friday and the Royals in Victoria on Saturday and Sunday.

them,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “For a lot of players, it’s going out of your comfort zone and that’s difficult to do.” Chyzowski doesn’t plan on changing anything about how he conducts himself on or off the ice. “Coming into this year, my goal was to be a leader for the team regardless of who they named captain,” said Chyzowski, who was told he would wear the C on Sunday. “I’ve talked to Shane Doan. He said sometimes people expect you to change or do something really great. The truth is you be yourself and keep doing the things that have made you successful.” Chyzowski is the second second-generation Blazer to be named captain. His father, Dave, now the Blazers’ director of sales and

marketing, played for Kamloops in the late 1980s, as did Mike Needham, whose son, Matt, captained the Blazers from 2013-2014 to 2015-2016. (Matt Needham and Baines are the only Blazers to captain the team for three seasons.) “That’s good history,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “It must be important to them to carry on that type of tradition and be able to wear the C. I don’t think either of the fathers wore Cs, but they were really top-end players for us.” Chyzowski’s parents were among the first to congratulate him. “My dad was a pretty special player when he played here and when he played pro,” Chyzowski said. “It’s just one thing that he hasn’t done that I did,

young team that is off to an 0-2 start. “They’re all going to look to him to see how he acts when you face a little adversity, like not winning your home opener,” Hay said. “Does he come the next day and work? The first part about being a leader is doing the right things and leading by example. If he can do that, then he feels confident to be more vocal about it.” Chyzowski grew up watching the Blazers on Mark Recchi Way. He captained the tier 1 Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers as a second-year bantam. The major junior Blazers picked him in the second round of the 2012 bantam draft. “He’s homegrown,” Hay said. “It’s important to him to represent the Blazers in the right way. He just needs to be himself. Don’t let the C wear you down.”

so that’s pretty cool, too.” Chyzowski is known to play an honest, clean, gritty brand of hockey and work ethic is a cornerstone of his game. “I don’t only get my work ethic from my sports side of the family,” he said. “My mom’s a pretty hard worker. Back when my dad was playing hockey in Europe, she [Cindy] worked overnight shifts with me and Ryan as young guys. She made so many sacrifices for us at home while my dad was away.” Joe Gatenby, a 20-year-old defenceman from Kelowna, and Garrett Pilon, an 18-year-old forward from Saskatoon, were named alternate captains. The trio — the Blazers will also rotate another alternate captaincy over the next few months — will be tasked with leading a

decided that he will not register any contract for Mr. Manziel for this season,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the league said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, Mr. Manziel will be eligible to sign a contract for the 2018 season and, if Mr. Manziel meets certain conditions that have been spelled out by the commissioner, the CFL will register that contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The specifics of those conditions are confidential and will not be disclosed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Manziel has been on the Hamilton TigerCatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 45-man negotiation list since his days at Texas A&M. The Ticats put the five-foot-11, 210-pound quarterback through a series of medical and physical tests in August in Buffalo before team coaches and frontoffice personnel. Kent Austin, Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicepresident of football operations, confirmed the testing Aug. 30, but said at the time the club wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in signing Manziel. However, according to a league source, Manzielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives told the Ticats on Sept. 2 they wanted a contract offer from the CFL club. So, in accordance with CFL rules, Hamilton had 10 days to make a contract offer, trade Manzielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CFL rights or simply stand pat, which would have resulted in Manziel automatically coming off the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. An extension was granted, in part to put in place a process for Manziel and future players who have faced allegations of violence against women in the past. The CFL had stipulated that Manziel would have to undergo an assessment with a domestic violence prevention official and meet with Ambrosie, who would then decide whether to approve the contract. In January 2016, Manziel was charged after being accused of hitting and threatening a former girlfriend before reaching an agreement with prosecutors to dismiss the case.

Innovations abound in 2018 Audi Q5 DAVID CHAO

SPECIAL TO KTW

t’s hard to believe, but Audi’s ever-popular Q5 model has been in existence since 2008. It stayed more or less the same — though there was a slight refresh in 2013 — over the years, but it’s finally ready for a complete makeover. The 2018 version is long overdue, and it arrives as a brand new model that also has a base in a brand new factory in Mexico. Yes the 2018 Q5 is now produced in Audi’s San Jose Chiapa plant in Mexico — a plant billed as Audi’s latest and greatest, with over $1 billion in investment and 3,300 employees. It is now the only factory in the world that produces the Q5, so it’s a significant move by Audi to consolidate the production to a single, somewhat unproven site. As for the car itself, Audi made important upgrades throughout. The Q5 has sold more than 1.6 million vehicles worldwide, making it one of the most popular models in its class. DESIGN Audi stayed true to its heritage by keeping much of the overall design feel intact from the 2017 model — so much so that an average person may not spot the 2018s as new. This was intentional, according to the automaker, because the previous model had such a loyal base and there was no reason to take a chance and radically change the design of the Q5. Having said that, the 2018 Q5 has softer, cleaner lines and a rounded, sculpted side profile

The Audi Q5’s performance provides best-in-class balance and comfort in all driving conditions (SQ5 model shown).

that is attractive and modern. The front end borrows from the Q7’s look and feel while retaining Q5’s unique design. The Q5’s interior is a beautiful combination of modern touches and elegant finishes. The car features ergonomically designed buttons and switches that are on the minimalist side thanks to clever use of larger infotainment system. The new modular infotainment system offers improved capability all around but it’s also capable of connecting with smartphones via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Audi’s industry-leading virtual cockpit is outstanding as always, though not everyone will like the idea of having all the information

on the electronic dashboard vs having real buttons and controls. PERFORMANCE The best way to assess the new Q5’s performance capability is to simply drive this car back to back with the likes of BMW X3, Lexus RX or Mercedes GLC SUVs. It would be immediately obvious that Audi has the best balance of road feel and comfort, providing that perfect just-right feel that’s hard to replicate these days. Cars like the X3, which is about to change, are ever so popular but these SUVs are so soft to drive that all sense of driving fun is often taken out; not so with the Q5 which still retains a good driving feel.

The exception may be the Mercedes GLC, which also has a great sense of steering feel and feedback that provides decent fun factor experience. The Lexus RX — another volume leader in this class — has amazing design and features but it’s ride and handling is boring, though refined. Driving the RX feels like driving an older American vehicles from years ago — it’s no match to Audi’s much tighter, sportier feel that provides boosted confidence in all road conditions. On the engine side, the only powertrain that is available is Audi’s 2.0-litre gasoline turbo four, producing 252 horse power and 273 pound-feet of torque. That’s

plenty for this vehicle and provides a brisk, comfortable acceleration. The lighter body contributes to improved 0 to 100 km/h acceleration times of about 6.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest fourcylinder SUVs on the market. There are no diesels planned thanks to the Volkswagen emmissions scandals that virtually killed the diesel market in North America. The ride is compliant and, in a typical German fashion, stable over highway speeds. There is an available adaptive and adjustable suspension but even the baseline is great in its ability to absorb bumps. Like all European models, the ride is stiffer and firmer than either the American or Japanese competitors. The fuel efficiency is still good with 10.4 litres per 100 kilometres in city and 8.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. The prices start at $44,950 for the base Komfort model and runs all the way to $54,200 in the Technik format. SUMMARY If you want that German or European feel in a car with firmer and more predictable road manners, you simply cannot get that in a typical Asian or North American SUVs these days (with some exceptions). And the Q5 has been one of the best performers so far, with above average reliability which may have changed with the new factory coming online. With good resale values and continuing demand for Audi SUVs world-wide, this car will always outperform most other vehicles in this class.

The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N.
