BC Housing adds 30 beds for winter SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Pat Wallace reflects on three decades of being in civic politics. “I’m ready,” Wallace said of her decision to retire and not seek re-election on Oct. 20.

at Wallace rattles off the years like a bingo caller. “Eighty, ’82, ’86,” she said of her council terms. “That’s three two-year terms. And then ’93, ’96, ’99. Uh, well, I’ve been in 31 years, this is my 31st year. ’93, ’96, ’99, 202, 205, 208, 211, 214.”

In 2018, the 85-year-old veteran city councillor is hanging up her campaign signs after a tenured political career. She is not seeking re-election after more than three decades in civic politics. KTW visited Wallace at her home in the RiverBend Seniors Community in Brocklehurst in advance of her final meetings around the horseshoe at city hall. “I’m ready,” she said of her retirement. Wallace arrived in Kamloops from

Ontario in 1974 and began teaching employment prep at the newly minted Cariboo College, which opened its doors in 1970 and has since grown into Thompson Rivers University. She still keeps in touch with students, one of whom shares a position Wallace held — past-president of the Union of BC Municipalities.

Temporary housing will soon be in place on Royal Avenue ahead of the opening of more permanent supportive housing on the North Shore and downtown. A new housing project will open at 185 Royal Ave. and will contain 30 short-term beds and onsite services. Each resident will have a designated bed and access to showers, meals and outreach services, such as life skills training, employment assistance and community services referrals. The project just off Tranquille Road on the North Shore, is expected to open on Nov. 1 following renovations now underway by BC Housing, the building’s new leaseholder. The temporary housing project is being called an “interim measure” by the province and is expected to remain open until the spring, when its residents will be relocated to modular housing projects at 317 Tranquille Rd., about one block away, and 259 West Victoria St. downtown. In August, the province announced it would construct 55 units of similar temporary housing on city-owned land at several Mission Flats Road addresses. The opening of those units is expected to coincide with the availability of 13 additional beds at the Emerald Centre homeless shelter downtown beginning in November. Privately run social agency JUMP Kamloops currently offers 15 meals a week to homeless and non-homeless alike at 185 Royal Ave. and is working with the city to determine its next steps.

Understanding the BC Energy Step Code PREPARED BY

2017

What is it?

2032 STEP 5

The BC Energy Step Code is currently a voluntary provincial standard introduced in 2017, which groups energy-efficient requirements into five “steps”. Step 1 being the current BC Building Code, all the way to Step 5 “Net-Zero Energy Ready”, which is the most energy-efficient buildings being constructed.

NET-ZERO ENERGY READY NEW CONSTRUCTION

STEP 1

BC BUILDING CODE

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

How does this affect you? Cost – based on the CHBA Central Interior’s research, homeowners will be paying more to meet the Energy Step Code requirements on all new average homes, from hiring an Energy Advisor and training everyone involved in the building process on the new code requirements.

Is this a good solution for energy efficient housing? Energy-efficiency changes should not be borne only by new home buyers – it’s a community-wide issue. New construction accounts for less than 1% of the overall housing stock on an annual basis. More demanding codes and standards will only impact new buildings which are significantly more energy efficient already. The greatest opportunity to effect change is incentives in existing housing.

Have questions or concerns about the BC Energy Step Code visit chbaci.ca or call 250-828-1844.

No word if homicide probe tied to disappearance KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

While Kamloops Mounties have confirmed officers’ presence in the Lac Du Bois area and at a North Shore property are connected to a homicide investigation, they have not said whether the probe is connected to a man who disappeared last week under suspicious circumstances. Mounties were seen

in the Lac de Bois area north of the city on the weekend and were also at a property on Popp Street in Brocklehurst. Sgt. Darren Michels told KTW police activity in the two areas is connected to a homicide, though he would not divulge more information. Michels did say the general public is not at risk as those involved in the homicide being

investigated knew each other. Mounties are expected to release more information on Wednesday. It is not known whether the probe is connected to the disappearance last week of Troy Gold. The 35-year-old man was last seen on Monday, Oct. 1, at 3 p.m. at his Kamloops home. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the investigation and

information received by the serious crimes unit indicates foul play is a factor in Gold’s disappearance. Shelkie told KTW foul play does not necessarily mean Gold has been killed; rather, it means his disappearance is not believed to have been voluntary and is suspicious. “At this time, the RCMP are pursuing various investigative

avenues in numerous locations around Kamloops,” Shelkie said, noting Kamloops Search and Rescue joined in the search. Gold has a lengthy criminal history, including a manslaughter conviction in connection with a stabbing death on a Kelowna beach in 2001. According to a Kelowna Daily Courier story, Gold was 19 when

he attacked 32-year-old Martin Cotey with a knife after approaching Cotey and his girlfriend on Okanagan Lake beach the early morning of Aug. 7, 2001. “Armed with a carving knife and spoiling for a fight, Gold told Cotey to get off his beach,” the Courier story stated. “Cotey, 32, tried to appease him and Gold stabbed him, leaving him to die. A pathologist said he would have bled to death if he hadn’t drowned first.” Gold was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In April 2015, Gold was sentenced to almost

two years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a Kelowna bank. In 2012, he served six months behind bars in connection with a robbery in Victoria, while also compiling assault and theft convictions in Sydney. Gold is white, stands 5-foot-6, has short, dirty-blond hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing black sweat pants, a grey hoodie, a blue and white Toronto Blue Jays hat and blue Adidas shoes. He has tattoos on the knuckles of his hands — spelling out “love” and “hate” — and a letter “G” on each hand.

Visitors to the outdoor training facilities at the Tournament Capital Centre on the Thanksgiving long weekend got a glimpse of the less than glamorous side of world-class athletic pursuit. Olympic bronze medallist Dylan Armstrong was coaching shot put prodigy Greg Stewart on a cool day with unrelenting rain. The 7-foot-2 Stewart, who was born without a left hand or forearm, is the world’s No. 1-ranked athlete in the International Paralympic Committee men’s F 46 shot put division. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Thompson Rivers University has officially banned smoking recreational marijuana on campus and bringing pets inside its buildings. But use of alcohol and tobacco is still permitted in designated areas. Effective Oct. 17, in conjunction with the federal government’s legalization of recreational pot, smoking marijuana on campus will remain prohibited, the university announced in a letter to students on Friday. The university also warned students, faculty and staff that effective Nov. 24, their pets will no longer be permitted indoors. The furry companions will, however, still be

allowed to walk the grounds, but will need to be under constant supervision and leashed. Dogs brought in for Therapy Thursday, animals in the animal health technology program and certified guide dogs will be exempt from being left outside. There are also exceptions being made for smoking medicinal marijuana on campus. Anyone who has a prescription will be permitted to smoke their cannabis in designated areas, but it’s not clear yet if those will be the same locations where cigarette smoking is permitted. People can also use cannabis on campus for research and teaching purposes provided they have written approval from the dean of their particular department. During a consultation phase on the policy,

which spanned from May to mid-September, the university received comments that it should treat cannabis and tobacco equally and prohibit tobacco use and vaping. Christine Bovis-Cnossen, TRU’s interim university president said the idea of a smoke-free campus isn’t off the table for the future. “We probably want to let this policy bed down over the next six months and then take a look at it in the future,” Bovis-Cnossen said. The move to add a ban on smoking cannabis to its policy on alcohol and tobacco was the university’s specific and deliberate response to pending legalization, Bovis-Cnossen said, noting the university initially considered including tobacco in the smoking ban, but wants to conduct more specific consultation.

Victoria sets rules for legal marijuana The provincial government has solidified a list of regulations outlining where B.C. residents can light up once recreational cannabis is legalized on Oct. 17. Under the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, a person will be allowed to possess a maximum of 1,000 grams of dried cannabis in their homes and other non-public spaces.

Smokers won’t be allowed to toke up or vape inside public places unless within a designated room. As for outside, the government is prohibiting smoking or vaping cannabis within six metres of public buildings, bus stops or bus shelters. Marijuana will also be prohibited from being smoked on public patios. Consuming recreational can-

nabis on school property will be prohibited, as will the use of it on any sidewalks or boulevards adjacent to a school. The government, however, will permit consumption of medicinal marijuana on school properties and on inter-city buses, trains and boats. Smoking or vaping marijuana will be prohibited in regional, municipal and provincial parks,

“We’re still in negotiations and planning with the City of Kamloops and some other potential partners,” JUMP co-ordinator Glenn Hilke told KTW. “Our goal is to make sure that the people who were accessing the community kitchen still have a place to go.” According to Hilke, JUMP’s departure from the building is part of the reason for the new development. “For this new project, we just handed the key over. So, $100,000 worth of equipment, renovations, materials — whatever they want to keep, they are welcome to keep,” Hilke said. “We didn’t ask for any financial compensation for that. We were also instrumental in the first step, convincing our landlord that this would be a good thing, even though it would mean a transition for us.” Although the new project means JUMP will need to find a new home, Hilke said he has long known the need for this kind of space on the North Shore. “We needed something on the North Shore. I know they are amalgamated, but

it’s like there are two different cities. And it’s two different cultures, as well,” he said. While Hilke saw the need for the space, some in the neighbourhood are much more reluctant to make way. Ryan Borowsky, general manager of the adjacent Totem City Motors, said cleanup at the property has already begun and he has seen items being moved off-site. Borowsky said he has experienced numerous problems with drug users in the area. He said that while he welcomes the new shelter, he added he would prefer a “normal” neighbour and questioned the zoning of the block, with the funeral home located on the other side of the shelter property. “Right out of our front doorsteps we’ve got East Hastings and Main. That’s what I call it. The front corner of my car lot, before you come, you’re going to see all the transients before you come into my business,” he said. One of the reasons Borowsky said he reluctantly welcomes the change is because he was told the shelter would be managed by paid staff rather than vol-

unteers, feature 24/7 security and have people screened for drugs prior to entry. Borowsky said he was told the shelter would operate until March, but is concerned it may continue to operate further into 2019. “Are they going to stay here after the development and they’ve put all kinds of money into this building?” he asked. “I don’t know.” North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Jeremy Heighton said the Tranquille business corridor has been “in a state of concern” for some time, but maintained the change coming to 185 Royal Ave. will be an improvement because it won’t feature drop-in services. “Right now, the JUMP centre is a meal drop-in program, so it’s completely open. The new site is closed. It’s not a drop-in centre. There are no drop-in services there. So, in fact, it will reduce the number of transient people through the neighbourhood and stabilize who is there,” Heighton said. The 2018 national point-in-time homeless count found 201 people experiencing homelessness in Kamloops.

Mountie to plead guilty to assault TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops Mountie will plead guilty to an assault charge stemming from an on-duty incident last year, a judge has been told. RCMP Const. Todd Henderson was charged with assault causing bodily harm following an alleged incident on Aug. 25, 2017.

During a pre-trial conference in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, defence lawyer Neville McDougall said Henderson plans to plead guilty to the lesser charge of simple assault and dates for his four-day trial were cancelled. No information about the incident has been made public, other than that it took place while Henderson was on-duty. The complainant, identified in court doc-

uments, is a man who is known to police. Crown prosecutor Andrew Vandersluys said he is in the process of attempting to obtain a victim-impact statement from the complainant. Lawyers will meet on Oct. 15 to set a date for Henderson’s guilty plea. A call to B.C. RCMP headquarters inquiring about Henderson’s duty status was not answered by KTW press time.

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

As recreational cannabis legalization looms next week, a pair of well-known Kamloops restaurateurs are looking to get into the business. Chris Monteleone and Dino Bernardo, who co-own the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge in downtown Kamloops, are partnering on their next venture in applying for a retail cannabis license to open a private cannabis store in the Fortune Shopping Centre on the North Shore.

It will be separate from the Commodore and include a third partner, friend Justin Cuzzetto. “I think it’s going to be a big industry and I’m excited to be at the forefront of it,” Monteloene told KTW. Fiore Fresco — “Fresh Flower” in Italian — would sell dried cannabis, seeds, accessories and eventually edibles at 6-750 Fortune Dr., next to Safeway. The space, which was formerly home to a dollar store, has been leased and the trio plans to complete a 20- to 25-day renovation pending approval of the licence.

“We’re looking for a very sleek, classy design of our shop,” Monteleone said. The proposed location falls within the city’s designated zoning for cannabis stores. Monteleone said that was step one in due-diligence during what he called an intense application process. The trio has used lawyers, drafters, bankers and advisors in crossing their t’s and dotting their i’s and Monteleone praised the city for guiding the local entrepreneurs through the process. “I know it’s new for everybody and often these things will have hurdles to jump over

and things to reassess … but I think they’ve been very good at filling everybody in,” he said. The application will come to city council on Oct. 30 alongside another private cannabis store application slated for 399 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops. Chris Lyth has applied to open The Shore Cannabiz Shop. Meanwhile, an application for the first government cannabis store is headed to city hall next week, on Oct. 16. That store is expected to open in time for legalization, which is on Oct. 17.

PLENTY OF TIME TO QUIZ CANDIDATES

ave you decided which candidates will get your vote on Oct. 20? Some who have connected with KTW have said they know who they do not want elected, but are still trying to decide who they wish to see sitting on city council and the

school board. Others have said they may limit their choices to fewer than the maximum allowed, based on what they know so far about those running for office. Avid followers of local politics have likely already been to KTW’s online Civic Election page on our website (kamloopsthisweek.com) and to other election-information sources many times over. On our website and elsewhere, voters will find a plethora of information, including candidate profiles, candidates Q&As, where to vote, how to vote and why they should vote. With last year’s byelection drawing just 21 per cent of eligible Kamloops voters and the 2014 general civic election eliciting a 33 per cent turnout, there has been a vocal campaign by many to work to make those numbers rise. A large part of that effort is educating voters about the importance of municipal elections (they affect residents far more deeply than do provincial and federal elections), talking about the ease of voting (there will be polling stations across the city and casting a ballot will take a few minutes on a lazy Saturday) and reminding them of the myriad opportunities that exist to attend forums and learn what makes candidates tick. A Canadian Home Builders’ Association-sponsored mayoral/council forum will take place on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Colombo Hall and a seniors’-focused forum will be held on Oct. 15 at noon at Desert Gardens. KTW will host a mayoral/councillor forum on Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Grand Hall at TRU, while a trustee forum will follow on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Henry Grube Centre. Attend and learn and vote. It really is that simple.

LNG breakthrough likely means higher bills

.C.’s long-awaited breakthrough on liquefied natural gas exports is being celebrated from Kitimat to Kimberley as the province finally appears to have broken through the protest wall to get a petroleum product shipped somewhere besides the United States. I’ll spare you the political sniping and credit-taking that surrounded investor approval of the $40 billion LNG Canada project, which as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn’t stop saying, is the largest private-sector investment in Canadian history. Instead, here are some things you should know about LNG and B.C. natural gas. First, how bad is the situation for one of B.C.’s core resource industries without an export window? The hydraulic fracturing refinements that produced a new shale oil and gas boom in North America created such a glut south of the border that the U.S. has converted LNG import terminals to export gas to Asia. The U.S. has run laps around poor, confused Canada, while its misguided environmental foundations hire protesters to jam up everything Canada tries to do to end the United States monopoly on the North American market. B.C. has some of the most productive shale gas basins in the world and these days they are not

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA just giving it away for less than a buck a gigajoule — occasionally they’re actually paying to ship it. B.C.’s daily spot gas price is determined at the AECO Hub, a storage facility in southern Alberta, and there have been times in the last couple of years when the price has been negative. If you have a gas bill from FortisBC, you may have noticed that since B.C. increased its carbon tax in April, Fortis has had to charge you more for the tax than it does for the gas. (FortisBC has no control over this, by the way.) Here’s another dire statistic, provided in a government LNG briefing along with last week’s blockbuster announcement: while B.C.’s Lower Mainland population has surged 24 per cent since 2001, the population of the North Coast Nechako region has declined by 19 per cent. The good news for B.C. is its northeast Montney shale gas is

not only low in carbon dioxide, a pipeline across the Rockies to Kitimat allows an LNG tanker to reach Asia in about eight days. That compares favourably to more than 20 days from the U.S. Gulf Coast, the massive petroleum complex that seems to keep growing without a peep of protest. In Victoria, we await the NDP government’s new climate-action plan, which will somehow accommodate the greenhouse gas emissions of LNG Canada operations, a large increase in gas production to feed the export facility and still meet the ambitious targets the previous government committed to in Paris in 2015. That’s a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, 60 per cent by 2040 and 80 per cent by 2050. This is, of course, the latest of a long series of grandiose “fight climate change” targets that have crashed and burned around the world, going back to the days when Canada’s environment minister named his dog Kyoto. Here’s Premier John Horgan’s LNG pitch, from what I have gathered so far: you’ll probably have to trade in your gas furnace for a nice new heat pump that runs on increasingly costly electricity, so people in Korea and China can use our gas and reduce their dependence on coal. And check out those electric and hydrogen cars — subsidies are going up along with carbon taxes. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PETERSON PATH A PLEASURE Editor: I would like to thank the city and its parks department for the new multi-use path through the Petersen Creek area. We are avid cyclists who live in Upper Sahali and we took a ride down and up again to test out the path. It is really well built and landscaped and the grade has been made as easy as possible. It has made life for cyclists safer and has given us a more pleasant ride on the way to and from downtown. Sheila Powell Kamloops

TIME WE SAW THE LIGHT IN VALLEYVIEW Editor: There is an issue with traffic flow deterioration along the Trans-Canada Highway corridor in Valleyview, between Vicars and Tanager roads. A bypass is years away at best. There is a simple change I believe would certainly improve traffic flow. Someone with sufficient political will could work with the Ministry of Transportation and CP Rail to alter the information in the computer that runs the traffic lights. The highway traffic lights at Vicars,

River and Tanager roads run through a sequence triggered by an approaching train. It stops all traffic travelling east or west on the highway to allow cross traffic to clear before the train blocks the crossing. The problem with this system is that it doesn’t take into account traffic demand information. This means that even if there is no cross traffic, the train will trigger the lights and everything comes to a grinding halt. It gets worse after the train has

passed. Within a few seconds of the train passing the crossing, the lights are again triggered — only this time there is a longer light to allow for traffic turning left from the highway to the side street. Theses sequences happen without information from traffic-demand sensors. It results in a frustrating stoppage for no reason, as well as a huge waste of fuel to accelerate back to highway speed. It seems like an easy fix to me. Dave Decker Kamloops

BREWLOOPS AND ITS LOCATION A SUCCESS Editor: I would like to thank the volunteer organizers of Brewloops who took on the immense job of putting on this event once again. Seeing them working tirelessly in the pouring rain to take down the event on Sunday, Sept. 30, was very powerful and should not go without recognition. These people genuinely care about the North Shore and work hard to bring a

great event to our side of the bridge. They have also raised more than $30,000 for local charities. I was disappointed to read Carl Clarke’s letter of Oct. 5 criticizing the event (‘Hold noisy events away from homes’). This year’s location — in a commercial parking lot along a busy arterial road — was not inappropriate. In fact, it was an improvement from the pre-

vious Yew Street location, which was adjacent to private residences. The location at 775 Fortune Dr. was walkable for many North Shore residents and thoughtfully located near a bus exchange to discourage patrons from drinking and driving. Surrounding businesses also noticed an increase in sales thanks to the influx of people and dollars brought to the neighbourhood.

I hope Clarke is able to attend the event next year to see the family-friendly component and enjoy the food trucks, music, games and many beverage options beyond beer. As a non-beer drinker myself, I couldn’t be more proud to have this event in my neighbourhood and hope to see it again next year. H. Fulton Kamloops

REGULATIONS ON PUBLIC POT USE ARE COMMON SENSE Editor: Re: (‘City’s top cop backs ban on smoking cannabis in public,’ Sept. 26): No kidding. You can’t drink alcohol or walk around with open

liquor in public, either. Medical cannabis has long been legally available, so legalizing recreational cannabis will require similar regulations and laws. Alcohol does trump the legaliza-

tion of cannabis, though, because enforcement of impaired driving by breathalizer testing will get drunk drivers off the roads. As there is not yet a device with the proven accuracy of a breatha-

lizer for roadside testing of drivers using cannabis, officers will have their hands full to prove impairment. Les Evens Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: PLENTY OF WANTS AND NEEDS FOUND IN KAMLOOPS’ RECREATION SURVEY:

“One of the most popular sports in Kamloops is cycling, especially using mountain bikes. “The sport receives little from the city in comparison to other sports. “Most of the beautiful trails enjoyed by many in the area have been built by hard-working volunteers. One of them in particular is a giant — Darryl Ketter — and he deserves to be recognized.” — posted by Pierre Filisetti

RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS GETS A PASSING GRADE FROM BUSINESS GROUP:

“From the article: The current rate of municipal spending is ‘unsustainable’ and communities will need to find additional sources of revenue. “Additional sources of revenue? How about spending a little less on capital projects and monuments to municipal politicians, less on multi-million-dollar parking lots and million-dollar pathways? “It’s not your money! It’s mine, so quit spending like drunken sailors.” — posted by BB49

Candidate

Q&As

KTW is querying the candidates on your behalf. Each Wednesday until the Oct. 20 civic election, we will publish their answers to specific questions. Nearly all of the 33 people seeking election in mayoral, council and school trustee races are taking part and their answers are on these two pages.

KEN CHRISTIAN mayoral candidate (i)

Some answers have been edited for length and style. Candidates’ full answers can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Incumbents marked with “i.”

Enhance the Kamloops Lake public beach on Tranquille Road at Cooney Bay.

NICHOLAS ADAMS council candidate

JENNIFER DAWN ADAMS council candidate I enjoyed the pedestrian plaza downtown and look forward to the improved areas on the North Shore with Spirit Square. I love the idea of an outdoor rink and am supportive of projects that encourage physical activity and family involvement. A water park along the flats near Mount Paul would be a great project for our reserve land. How about combining the water park and skating idea on one site that could be used year-round?

DALE BASS council candidate

CHRIS BOSE council candidate

A performing-arts centre has a significant economic spinoff. It creates jobs. It attracts visitors. Its audiences take advantage of nearby hotels, restaurants and coffee shops. Moving forward on one, several essentials must be in place. Funding needs to be secured so this is not a short-term project. If a P3 proposal is followed, guarantees must be in place for Kamloops employment opportunities.

We need to create a diverse city, including sports, adventure tourism, mountain biking and arts and culture. There are multiple organizations in the community that represent varying art and culture styles, but we are lacking a hub for the arts community. Perhaps we could create a venue using an under-utilized city or school district-owned building. The performing-arts centre should remain a possibility for our city.

DONOVAN CAVERS council candidate (i) The PAC NOT YET group killed the performing-arts centre for a time, but another look wouldn’t hurt. If re-elected, I am interested to see the forthcoming outdoor rink study. Many are looking forward to the yet-to-be-renamed multi-use pathway. I am very intrigued by the very positive reception the Fourth Avenue plaza pilot project received and permanently opening up the area to people, with better street furniture, etc., would be great.

SCHOOL TRUSTEE: The contract between the provincial government and the BCTF expires next year. Do you support a return to district-by-district bargaining as existed prior to the mid-1990s or do you favour the current provincewide system?

WILLIAM TURNBULL mayoral candidate

I believe there are several things we can do to improve vibrancy and livability. I would love to see elements of the downtown revitalization plan implemented, the creation of a cultural centre, more performance options for the arts and better active transportation options.

I would like to see a pool returned to the North Shore. With the removal of the McDonald Park pool, families in the area do not have easy access to healthy recreation a pool provides. An aquatic centre on McArthur Island would benefit the entire city. The projects mentioned in the question above will go a long way to making Kamloops a more vibrant community; however, we need to ensure they are sustainable and fiscally responsible.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONS COUNCIL/MAYORAL: There have been many ideas about enhancing the vibrancy of the city, including the proposed performing-arts centre, the proposed outdoor ice rink, the pedestrian plaza pilot project, the Peterson Creek pathway and the yet-to-be decided fate of the former golf course on McArthur Island. What would you like to see to enhance the vibrancy of Kamloops?

CORALLY DELWO council candidate

RAY DHALIWAL council candidate (i)

I fully support the joint effort between the Kamloops Naturalist Club and the Kamloops Disc Golf Club. I think both of these groups could collaborate and come up with a great multi-use idea for the park. It is used already for many sports, tournaments and events. Having revenue from people using the space for disc golf would be a plus to the city, as well as some interpretive nature ideas for leisure and walks.

DIETER DUDY council candidate (i)

DENNIS GIESBRECHT council candidate

Increasing vibrancy increases livability and, in turn, does much to bolster the economy. I would like to see us revisit the concept of a performing-arts centre, one that is more inclusive in partnering and with respect to what we showcase. I would also like to see a cultural centre that speaks to who we are and how we got here and do this in partnership with our neighbours across the river. I would like to see a year-round public market.

Big projects for vibrancy need to be multi-use. An arts centre with hotel/condo/retail/convention space components would cater to as many people as possible, giving it the best possible chance of being successful.

SADIE HUNTER council candidate

STEPHEN KARPUK council candidate

We need to look at ancillary amenities and services that enhance quality of life — valueadded features that level up the experience of living in Kamloops versus another community. We’re off to a good start with access to sports and recreation. I’d like to see the same focus placed on developing arts and culture. We have a sports and recreation master plan. Why not an arts and culture master plan?

No answer provided by press deadline.

SHAWN HARNETT council candidate I like all these ideas. I like the fact we pilotprojected the pedestrian plaza rather then just committing to it. Of these ideas, the performing-arts centre is the most attractive as far as bringing the most vibrancy and traffic. I also am a big fan with what is happening with the North Shore. I feel it has been a long time coming and appreciate the efforts of everyone involved.

ALISON KLIE council candidate

Murals on buildings, like in Chemainus, attracts tourists. Finish the North Shore dike as part of Rivers Trail to Kamloops Lake. Build a performing-arts and convention centre at TRU.

I am in favour of all these public projects. I was a big supporter of the original proposed performing-arts centre and believe a project of that size and scope would have been a huge asset to the city. I think Kamloops needs a mid-level concert venue with 1,000 to 2,000 seats so we can attract more acts that are too big for Sagebrush Theatre and too small for Sandman Centre.

LOCAL NEWS CAROLINE KING council candidate

JIMMY JOHAL council candidate

MIKE O’REILLY council candidate

I think we need a performing-arts centre that would bring in performers we miss due to size restraints. I want to see a grassroots/private model far scaled back from the original $90-million proposal and perhaps it could be on the North Shore to help bring the two sides of the river together. We need something to attract the younger generation and an arts venue may really assist with that.

We need to engage residents on these kinds of things, early and often. Many people feel too many things are being decided without proper community input. When it comes to discretionary-type of spending like this, why can’t residents have a say? I’d like to see the Tournament Capital Ranch completed with agricultural-event facilities, special-event facilities, a destination water park and more.

It is time for Kamloops to catch up to Prince George, Vernon and Chilliwack and build a performing-arts centre. I would support a version of a facility that would provide space for multiple user groups and incorporate housing above the facility. I do not believe this facility needs to have a large parkade included. There is a debate about what to do with McArthur Island. There is only a debate because we are running out of park space.

BILL SARAI council candidate I would like to see all of the above, as well as a covered sports complex for all of our residents to enjoy, especially during the winter months. The Henry Grube site would be a great place to house a performing-arts centre with an outdoor amphitheatre overlooking the view of where the two rivers meet. How about a gondola going from McArthur Island, across the river and up to TRU? We would reduce traffic and it could be a tourist attraction.

ARJUN SINGH council candidate (i) One way to answer your question is to note all the ideas and projects mentioned are buildings, places or paths. We also need to ensure people will actively use these buildings, places and paths. It is safe to say, for example, that Kamloopsians really love the outdoors and our natural landscapes. Helping facilitate even more enjoyment of the outdoors, without overburdening one area or another, seems like a really good idea to add even more vibrancy.

DENIS WALSH council candidate (i) I would prefer to receive feedback and engagement from our community in the initial planning stages of a project. We need input from more people, particularly from those who may be affected by a particular project. We need a balance of ideas from the community and administration to help council make informed decisions. I prefer a bottom-up, grassroots style of planning versus top-down management.

GERALD WATSON council candidate Kamloops is constantly competing to attract physicians with specialities and other professionals. Arts, sports and culture make a city feel vibrant. We need an arts and culture initiative comparable to the Tournament Capital program (facilities and support for the arts community). Revive Spoolmak days.

BOWEN COOLURIS school trustee candidate SD73 would do extremely well with district-by-district bargaining. SD73 is backed by strong associations and we’re fortunate to have advocates in the community that are very involved. The district as a whole is very desirable and, through district-bydistrict bargaining, a conclusion could be reached that is favourable for all stakeholders. The downside to this is that I assume the process would be very expensive for the province.

HEATHER GRIEVE school trustee candidate The provincewide system of bargaining allows for funding equity from district to district according to the formula that is applied. If bargaining returns to a system of district to district, this would not result in increased funding unless we are also allowed to have local taxation. I would support the board in lobbying for increased funding for our district. Should bargaining be returned to the district level, I would be in favour of lobbying to tax locally.

KATHLEEN KARPUK school trustee candidate (i) The current bargaining system consists of salary and other monetary items being bargained provincially and non-monetary items being bargained locally. This is a sensible balance as it helps prevent inequities in teacher salaries (i.e. teachers in one district being paid more or less than in another, as happened often under the past system) and is under the control of the entity that sets the provincial budget — the province.

BEAT KLOSSNER school trustee candidate The changing needs of students and teachers will not be addressed properly unless we can do so locally. Fears that provincial bargaining would undermine local efforts to address the problems and conditions in our schools were well-founded. I have full confidence and support the BCTF and its negotiation team.

KERRI SCHILL school trustee candidate The previous district-by-district bargaining was inefficient and cost the taxpayers more money. Negotiated wages and classroom composition varied from district to district, as did benefits. It made it much more difficult for our school district to be competitive and attract and retain teachers. Currently there is a well thought-out balance of provincial and local bargaining utilizing the provincewide system.

JOE SMALL school trustee candidate (i) I support the current provincewide system. The provincial bargaining model in place creates a level playing field throughout the province when it comes to major contractual issues, while at the same time allowing districts to bargain locally on issues that are specific to just them.

n Yes to good paying jobs. n Yes to an affordable Kamloops. n Yes to rolling out the red carpet for investment.

KATHY SINCLAIR council candidate (i) I’d love to see a non-stadium facility within walking distance of shops and restaurants that could be used as a venue for comedy shows, high school graduations, conferences, music, dance and theatre performances. We have an amazing local entertainment scene, but there’s no question we are missing out on some of the acts that pass through town because of lack of venues.

DONOVAN CAVERS school trustee candidate I support the current system because the province is the funder of education, so it makes sense for them to negotiate contracts, with teachers and CUPE staff delivering education to our kids.

ADAM JENSEN school trustee candidate It would be ill-advised to discuss moving away from the BCPSEA bargaining with BCTF at this time, particularly with a request from the BCTF to start negotiations talks with the BC Public School Employers’ Association no later than December 2018. Instead, I would like to support discussions with the provincial government about the possibility of funds being made available so local parties can address cost items in the upcoming negotiations.

JOHN O’FEE school trustee candidate The current bargaining model is the one that makes the most sense. The province controls the purse strings in terms of how it funds school districts and so the province should also negotiate its major cost component. There is more equality of bargaining power when the parties negotiate core wage issues in this fashion.

MEGHAN WADE school trustee candidate (i) I agree with the current provincewide system of bargaining for issues of provincial concern, with local issues being negotiated in local agreements.

Whatever they choose, O’Fee believes School District 73 can help bridge this gap — a goal the 57-yearold Sahali resident wants to pursue if his bid to return to the KamloopsThompson board is successful in the Oct. 20 civic election. If elected, O’Fee said he would like to explore options high school students have for taking university courses in an attempt to enhance those opportunities. “I don’t know that we do as good a job as we could connecting students to that next step,” O’Fee said, pointing out that the first year of university can be a difficult transition for students that isn’t always successful. O’Fee previously served on the board of education from 1988 to 1996

Having enjoyed his time on the board, O’Fee said he is grateful for the opportunities education can provide people in reaching their potential. Born in Kamloops to a family of seven and an alumni of NorKam secondary, O’Fee has practised law for 30 years and today works as a full-time lecturer in Thompson Rivers University’s law program. As a lawyer, he said he feels he would bring a valuable skill set back to the board of education. “It certainly helps to have someone with a legal mind on your board,” O’Fee said, noting he teaches employment law and would understand some of the key human resource issues with which the school district deals. He also noted his experience dealing with large budgets, having sat as chair of the Interior Health board and as a director on the Provincial Health Services Authority.

‘Big thank you to taxpayers’ From A1

Wallace’s first political involvement came shortly after, in 1975, when she was elected to a provincial board established to create efficiencies among local agencies funded by the province. It didn’t last long. “When they [B.C. NDP] went to the election, they lost … and three months later, we were all fired because Mr. Barrett [B.C.’s first NDP premier, Dave Barrett] didn’t get legislation passed to do it,” Wallace said. “So the government. Was it Campbell? Anyway, they fired us. No, probably Vander Zalm. So that was my first election.” (The 1975 provincial election saw the Bill Bennett-led Social Credit defeat Barrett’s NDP.) Wallace was first elected to Kamloops council in 1980, serving the city for six years until an unsuccessful bid for the mayor’s chair in 1986, when she lost to John Dormer. Had Wallace won that election, she would have become the city’s first female mayor. Kenna Cartwright eventually shattered that glass ceiling five years later — the city’s lone female mayor to date — and Wallace never again ran for mayor. “Kenna had died and Branchflower was coming in,” Wallace said of the political scene in the early 1990s. “He was on school board for, I don’t know, 18 years — a long, long time. You know, you look at your options and see, I’m not going to go there. I won’t make it.” After losing to Dormer, Wallace became executive assistant for Kamloops MLA (Social Credit) Claude Richmond. In 1991, she failed in her own provincial run — splitting the centre-right vote as a Socred candidate with Liberal Kimball Kastelen, resulting in the election of NDP candidate Art Charbonneau — and returned to the world of municipal politics in 1993 as city councillor. From then on, Wallace would secure term after term for 25 years. She is retiring now due to health issues. Wallace has visual and hearing problems in addition to continued pain from a fall two years ago that left her concussed with a broken neck. She has missed council meetings as a result and said she regrets not quitting after that fall. Wallace is grateful for support from staff and council colleagues during that time, noting Coun. Tina Lange swapped seats to allow Wallace a more accessible vantage point. It’s been a good run, however, for the city’s most-experienced city councillor, who takes with her years of institutional knowledge about zoning, parking and recreational facilities — 31 years of cityrelated conversations. Wallace has been a councillor since the position was called

alderman. She met royalty, including Princess Diana, worked along provincial heavyweights and met a handful of prime ministers, from Brian Mulroney to Stephen Harper. Paper reports have gone digital and the public has become increasingly more involved. “It’s all changed,” Wallace said. “And everybody today believes we’re more crooks than we were back then.” Asked how she fared in a world oft known to be an old boys’ club, Wallace said: “From the time I got elected ‘till today, no man or woman ever hesitated to call me an asshole. They treated me both ways. In the beginning, I had people that didn’t know me. Some of the developers thought, ‘Oh pshhhh, she’s going to be great.’ But that passed. After they watched me vote or watched what I had to say, then that passed.” Thick-skinned and never one to shy away from voicing her opinion, the longtime ThompsonNicola Regional District director butted heads with then-mayor Mel Rothenburger, who she noted is now a friend. Rothenburger removed Wallace from the regional district board, but ultimately reconsidered. “Council wouldn’t support it,” Wallace said. “I guess he [Rothenburger] read the charter and he found out he couldn’t.” Accomplishments of pride included keeping the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre open. Wallace said all residents deserve a return for paying taxes.

She said she was also proud of speaking up and ultimately having a hand in maintaining polling stations at residential-care homes during this year’s municipal election. On the flip side, Wallace said she was “burdened” by the city’s handling of the proposed Ajax mine. “We should have agreed to take it to the environmental test, the final one,” she said. “And if they didn’t pass, thanks very much. We didn’t even give them that chance and that bothered me. I think it’s a bad message to send to any would-be investor. And, you know, if you live in Kamloops, you’ve probably had most of your taxes paid through forestry or mining, you know. We forget that.” Going forward, Wallace plans to take it one day at a time in her retired years. Perhaps she will do some travelling and spend time with grandchildren back East. Maybe she will catch up with colleagues and enjoy a glass of wine or some of the liquor that’s been aging in her home for about five years. Wallace will go from giving her time to the community to taking some for herself. “My lasting thought, I owe a big thank you to the taxpayers and I hope by and large they feel I served them well. “At the end of the day, why am I a councillor? Because of the people of Kamloops that supported me. And I even thank the people that didn’t,” she said with a laugh.

Duelling visions for space JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two clubs that cannot come to an agreement on how to use the former McArthur Island golf course space are independently working to drum up support in advance of a decision for the space by Kamloops council. The Kamloops Disc Golf Club has started an online petition

to provide council “tangible support” for a multi-use park at the site, which would include a disc golf course. More than 800 people have so far signed the Change.org petition and the proposal is apparently one that will be recommended by city staff. “The disc golf club does feel that it’s a good compromise,” Kamloops Disc Golf

Club president Ben Laidlaw told KTW. The Kamloops Naturalist Club, however, remains unconvinced a disc golf course is compatible with a nature space it envisions for the 7.5-hectare parcel. The club has also been seeking support online, circulating an image of the proposed nature park, and director Jesse Ritcey could be found at a recent

The city has said it is premature to discuss staff recommendations for the space, which will be headed to city council in the next two months. Council directed staff to work with the disc golfers and naturalists. City of Kamloops public works director Jen Fretz said the city is following council’s direction to include as many uses as possible for the property.

City to unveil new system JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is upgrading its booking and registration system for city facilities and programming. “It’s 20 years old and the company that sold it to us is phasing it out,” City of Kamloops special events supervisor Sean Smith said. Smith said the current Class and ezReg system is used by the public to register for city programming — such as cooking and swimming classes promoted in the city’s activity guide — and book city facilities, including fields, ice times and community halls. “All city venues that need bookings,” Smith said. He said the contract ended at the end of 2017 and the city will be tran-

sitioning to the new program, called Perfect Mind, in March 2019. “It’s just 20 years newer,” Smith said. “To me, it’s the difference of going from an old computer to Windows. It’s just more user-friendly, quicker and has many more features.” As the city transitions its system, Smith noted Visa has increased its security standards and no longer works with the existing system. Those wishing to pay with Visa in the interim cannot do so by phone or online, but can instead pay in person at the Tournament capital Centre, Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre or Kamloops Museum and Archives. Mastercard still works and the new system will allow Visa transactions by phone and online. Asked if there would be a cost difference in the programs, Smith said he isn’t privy to those details.

Voting idea would need change in law JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A city council candidate wants to incentivize voters to show up to the polls. Gerald Watson points to “dramatic improvements” in voter turnout in countries with compulsory voting. Voter turnout in Australia, for example, often exceeds 90 per cent. Turnout in the last general civic election in Kamloops, in 2014, was 33 per cent. “If we can take a small step to get more people to vote, it’s going to be beneficial for all concerned,” Watson said.

Compulsory voting comes with fines or even imprisonment for those who do not cast a ballot, but Watson would prefer incentives in the way of a $20 credit for city utilities or recreational services. That would prevent people from turning up to the polls and marking down a name on a ballot for the sake of not having to pay a fee or go to jail, Watson said. “It strikes me as a much lighter touch,” he said. It would, however, cost the City of Kamloops nearly $2 million if all eligible voters cast ballots in the Oct. 20 election — something that may

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow coming to Kamloops Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops October 20th, 21st and 22nd. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Yacht Club on Saturday and Sunday or the Valleyview Community Hall on Monday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique Barry Dick advantage of dealing direct with a smelter,” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. “If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information,” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. “Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without

Participants are asked to decorate floats to match a musical genre or decade of their choosing or impersonate their favourite rock stars. Floats will be juried. Commercial businesses will be charged $100 and non-profits will be charged $50. To register, go online to http://www.downtownkamloops. com/2018-santa-claus-parade-sign/.

DEVELOPING DIGNITY KIT BY KIT JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The event, which is dubbed the Global Girls Festival, will see the group of women aim to complete about 300 kits at a table by the escalator in the department store from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Backman is inviting people to stop by and chat and make a donation to the cause for a chance to win a $640 set of luggage donated by The Bay. Kits costs about $10 to make and each group is responsible for its own fundraising. Backman said while financial donations are always appreciated, the group also needs fabric (100 per cent cotton or flannel only), thread, face cloths, soaps and Ziplock freezer bags. “We all have to help a little bit for the universe,” Backman said. For more information or to donate, email trudicbackman@gmail.com, search Days For Girls Kamloops on Facebook or contribute online to the group’s GoFundMe page. More information can also be found online at daysforgirls.com. A second group operates locally out of Heffley Creek.

One surges, another snips patterns and still another sews. A group of mostly retired Kamloops women has been busy this past year, creating re-usable sanitary pads for girls in developing countries while simultaneously creating opportunities for them. “These kits get distributed worldwide to young girls in Third World countries that need them, that don’t have the money,” Trudi Backman told KTW. “Their families — it’s either put food on the table or do I buy my daughter pads so she can go to school?” Backman retired nearly four years ago and in January began hosting a group of five to 10 women at her home in Sahali, creating kits as a satellite group of the non-profit Days for Girls. The organization, with help from people like Backman and her group, increases access to menstrual care and education with the goal of providing dignity, health and opportunity.

Backman said girls in developing countries often stay home from school when they have their period — about five days of the month. In some places, girls are placed during that time in bleeding huts, while others use makeshift items as sanitary napkins. Days for Girls kits include re-usable liners, washing supplies, storage bags and care and use instructions. The kits last up to three years and have gone through nearly 30 different versions — with the most recent touted for using minimal water, saving money and providing comfort. “It’s needed,” Backman said. “It’s just the humane thing to do.” In the past year, Backman’s group has assembled more than 1,000 kits to be sent to girls in places like India, Sri Lanka and Africa. This Thursday, the group will be putting together the kits at The Bay in Aberdeen Mall to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the organization and the United Nations International Day of the Girl.

REPAIR CAFÉ WILL MEND BUSTED ITEMS What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike with a busted wheel? Toss it? Nope.

VIMY

On the right path with Baldy Hughes

“A victory of a play” - Globe and Mail

Vern Thiessen

Unity forged in battle. This remarkable story of courage, romance, and sacriﬁce follows a group of Canadian soldiers convalescing in a ﬁeld hospital after facing the heroism and horrors of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The soldiers battle their memories of the past, as a young nurse from Nova Soctia tends to their wounds, both obvious and concealed, in this striking WWI drama from Governer General’s Award-winning playwright Vern Thiessen. WCT Artistic Director James MacDonald directed the highly praised premiere of Vimy and is proud to revise it here in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War.

e recently received a touching, insightful letter with a useful suggestion — of trying to expand this column to other publications — that is being examined. The person who wrote the letter reads this column, so I want to reach out personally to him. I want to thank him for outlining his thoughts. As an addict, I know our ideas and our thoughts are often not heard. Based on your letter, I made a brief assessment about you (as a past academic, I was required to evaluate written work). You are articulate with insight and you know what to do. You care about others and want to give back. Your creative suggestion reveals this to me. You say you are going to Baldy Hughes, which I think is an excellent idea. For our other readers, Baldy Hughes is an incredible, one-year, 65-bed in-patient, 12-step addiction program for men. It provides intensive counselling, health, fitness, animal and horticultural farming, vocational training and

ASK AN ADDICT Ask an Addict is a column penned by a Kamloops scholar with expertise in addiction issues and someone who is also an addict. The column is meant to inform and help, which is particularly important as we remain mired in an opioid crisis that continues to claim thousands of lives each year. If you have a question you would like answered, email it to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Anonymity is guaranteed. leadership activities. It is located on a former military base about 30 kilometres southwest of Prince George. In 2015, Baldy Hughes received $1 million in provincial funding to add 20 beds. The facility hired three full-time registered nurses and an occupational therapist. It is a vital life-saving program that offers hope to men who once suffered and led meaningless lives. I want to let this fellow know he is on the right path. I support you in making this great change in your life. You have chosen wisely. Many rehabs are costly and too short in their nature. Addiction is not “cured” in a mere 28 days. It takes years for addiction to grab hold

and, sadly, one or two months cannot quell this nasty beast. Most programs cost more than $10,000 per month, which irritates me. Granted, funds are needed to run specialized centres, but greed can play a part. I commend the government for helping Baldy Hughes as long -term approaches are needed for this complex, life-long problem. This is one reason I believe the 12 steps are vital. When I left my first rehab, (out of three), I had nothing to go home to. During the fivehour flight, I felt shaky, insecure and incredibly scared. This was a shock to me. After all, I thought I was “cured.” I knew at any moment I might crash

and pick up that drink. Rehab gave me the rooms of AA. When I arrived in Vancouver and no one was there, I found a meeting, went in and sat down. I heard the familiar preamble and warmth and comfort, just like a big drink, settled into my soul. For one hour, I knew I was safe. AA is a lifeline. When there is nothing — no money, no family or friends — there are the rooms of AA. Today, anywhere I go in the world — France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Africa — I find meetings. I am no longer alone. We addicts are lucky that we have a secret society. When I walk down the street and see a familiar face from the rooms (a millionaire, a street person or a nurse), our eyes lock as we smile. Our heads silently nod while nothing is said. We know how lucky we are. Oh yes, before I forget, that lovely fellow who wrote me the letter, the articulate, insightful one who wants to give back? Did you judge him to be an inmate at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre?

City of Kamloops geographic information system manager Adam Chadwick. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

GOOGLE MAPS ON STEROIDS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops recently received recognition for its geographic information system, sophisticated mapping of the city’s data that comes courtesy a fiveperson team at city hall. Staff use the system to better make decisions and create efficiencies, while a plethora of information is also packaged into user-friendly formats for the public — enough to satisfy curiosity about where to track down public art or provide helpful information to businesses that would have in the past sent city staff digging through binders.

Maps have been built with data about city heritage properties, memorials and snow-removal priorities. Search by name in one map to find where someone rests in a Kamloops cemetery. “Cemeteries are open after workers have gone home,” City of Kamloops GIS manager Adam Chadwick told KTW. “You can go to the cemetery and you’re stuck if you don’t know exactly where the person is that you want to see. So now, there’s a map … you can type in that person’s name and it’ll zoom you to that location.” Starting with an empty database, the possibilities are limited only by imagination at city hall. The mapping has been the focus

of Chadwick’s work for more than two decades, since he came to work for the city in the early 1990s. “This summer, we just picked up all the paint lines,” he said. “It was calculating how much paint do we need for next year, what was in the field so it gets replaced, sign off that it has been painted every year. Every paint line in the city, we can calculate now,” Chadwick said. “If someone says, ‘Oh, I want to repaint this parking lot,’ we add up all the paint lines, multiply it by whatever the factor is to paint however wide the line is — it’s going to be 50 gallons or whatever it might be — then you can calculate time and materials. That’s citywide and it

It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

was actually one of the last ones we picked up.” Finishing 16th in a field of 146 public-sector agencies — from small and large municipalities to school boards and police forces — across the country thanks to the geographic information system is a feather in Chadwick’s cap after all those years of work. The geospatial maturity index report was published by Public Sector Digest and is the first of its kind in Canada. Kamloops tied with the Vancouver Police Department and bested the City of Coquitlam and Township of Langley.

PLENTY TO DO WITH THE CITY’S DATA MAPPING: • Homebuyers can search an address and find a photo of the house swept freshly from Google Maps, along with zoning, school catchment areas, development permits, BC Assessment values and other data pulled from a variety of systems presented in a property report. • Homeowners looking to renovate their properties or plant a tree can locate their underground utilities without having to dig anything up. • Aerial images of the city show development in Kamloops during the last 90 years.

Mapping system creates better decisions From A21

Still, Chadwick humbly points to ways in which the city can continue to improve. “We now have to maintain it all and keep it accurate and up to date,” he said. In reality, he’s the man behind the curtain of the city’s GIS system and KTW met up with him to learn all about it. Mostly operating behind the scenes, the GIS department works as a centralized internal service to the city’s other departments. One of Chadwick’s jobs is to understand the needs of those departments, including how they want to use and look at data, to improve processes and make them as efficient as possible. Take traffic data, for example. The city tracks intersection traffic and has amassed endless

Users of the city’s mapping system will find this standard neighbourhood map — and much more.

reports over the years. Via GIS, those reports are filed electronically by traffic department staff and then automatically swept weekly via computer code to update a city traffic map. “This took me

about five seconds to find all of them [city reports] for that intersection,” Chadwick said. The information also helps city staff make better decisions, creating visual depictions that would oth-

erwise be difficult to grasp quickly. Census data layered into a map helps the city identify how many people need to be evacuated during an emergency. Staff can then deduce what sort of

evacuation services will be required. That decision-making transcends city departments. Layering underground piping with roads on a map helps the city’s capital projects department identify which roads

to replace, taking into account aging infrastructure beneath the asphalt. “You’re way more enabled to make decisions,” Chadwick said. It is helpful for staff, but also to those investing in the city.

Businesses, for example, tend to call city hall with all sorts of questions. “Efficiency internally, but also efficiency externally because people have access to this themselves,” Chadwick said. One happy accident that resulted from the city’s GIS system was a record of the city’s memorial bench plaques, which were stolen last year. Chadwick had photographed each one of them for a memorial map before they had been taken. “We know what was on them and we can re-create them,” he said. “If we didn’t have pictures, once it’s gone, it’s gone.” Explore the plethora of city maps online at kamloops.ca/maps.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Connor Zary (18) and the Kamloops Blazers dropped a pair of games over the weekend — a 5-3 loss to the Portland Winterhawks on Friday followed by a 2-1 loss to the Victoria Royals on Saturday. With a record of 5-2, Kamloops is hitting the road this weekend for games in Vancouver on Friday and Everett on Saturday. The club’s next home game is Oct. 19, when the Swift Current Broncos visit Sandman Centre.

Blazers head on roadtrip with losses piled up Western Hockey League club has dropped five straight after opening season with back-to-back wins The Kamloops Blazers returned to practice this week intent on finding a way back into the win column. The Western Hockey League club dropped two home games this past weekend, marking five consecutive losses after starting the season with two straight wins over Kelowna. On Saturday night at Sandman Centre, the Blazers outshot the Victoria Royals, but emerged on the wrong end of a 2-1 decision before 3,325 fans in the home arena. That loss was preceded by Friday night’s 5-3 loss to Portland before a crowd of 3,450.

Against Victoria, Connor Zary opened the scoring less than two minutes into the second period to give Kamloops a 1-0 lead, but Victoria’s Kaid Oliver tied the contest four minutes later with a power-play goal. The Royals secured the win with Dante Hannoun’s goal nine minutes into the third period. Victoria goaltender Griffen Outhouse was named first star of the game as he stopped 26 of 27 shots. Dylan Garand turned aside 20 of 22 shots in the Kamloops net. The win boosted Victoria’s record to 6-0, leaving the Royals as the lone undefeated club in the 22-team Western Hockey League.

Prince Albert suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday, a 4-3 setback to Red Deer. The loss dropped the Blazers to 2-5 on the season, for four points. On Friday against Portland, Kamloops forward Jermaine Loewen was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking to the head. Portland scored twice on the ensuing power play, with goals from Ryan Hughes and Joachim Blichfeld. The Blazers battled back, however with two goals from Zane Franklin and another tally from Connor Zary giving Kamloops a 3-2 lead after two periods. A shorthanded marker by Blichfeld 18 seconds into the final

frame drew Portland even at 3-3, with Jake Gricius’s goal a minute later serving as the game-winner. The Winterhawks rounded out the scoring with Mason Mannek’s empty-net goal at 18:43 of the third period. Shane Farkas stopped 22 of 25 shots in the Portland net to earn the victory, while Kamloops goaltender Dylan Ferguson turned aside 25 of 29 shots. Victoria sits atop the B.C. Division with 12 points. Vancouver also has 12 points (but has played one more game), followed by Prince George (five points), Kamloops (four points) and Kelowna (two points). OVERTIME — Kamloops will

be in Vancouver and Everett this weekend. The next home game is Wednesday, Oct. 19, against Swift Current. The game will feature Mark Recchi Hockey Hall of Fame Night, with all fans receiving a replica banner and special edition #8 jerseys worn by the Blazers during warm-up and auctioned off later . . . Portland defenceman John Ludvig, a Kamloops hockey product, notched an assist in Friday’s win … Fellow Kamloops product Ty Kolle was traded by the Winterhawks to Lethbridge on Thursday, between the two Kamloops-Portland games in the Tournament Capital. Lethbridge sent Portland a fifth-round pick in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft.

Youth basketball academy up and running for third season The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s basketball team is again involved in the operation of the Kelly Olynyk Basketball Academy. KOBA is entering its third season in Kamloops. “It’s a youth basketball program,” said WolfPack head coach Scott Clark. “Youth basketball programs have existed before. There was a Steve Nash league in town, but it ceased operation. “We approached Kelly [Olynyk] about using his name and receiving some sponsorship to provide opportunities for kids kindergarten through to Grade 7. “They are being introduced to the game of basketball, receive some coaching on the fundamentals of the game, have some success and get some game play

each week. This is to augment what they might be doing in their elementary schools.” Clark said he would like to see the program grow. “We have had some successful years, but the more kids out the better. “We want them to fall in love with the game of basketball. “Hopefully, they will develop a passion for the game which will continue as they grow up.” The program this year will be run by WolfPack assistant coach Brynden Swint, along with some of the TRU players. There will be sessions at the TRU Gym and the Tournament Capital Centre beginning Oct. 20 and Oct. 21. There will be six sessions before Christmas and six after the holidays beginning Jan. 12.

Broncos nearly topple Sun, drop heartbreaker late

The local BCFC squad was minutes away from a first-ever win over Okanagan up 11-10, Kamloops was deep in its end of the field when Bronco Trent Price fumbled after being hit hard by Sun defender Cory McCoy. Fellow Sun defender Conor Richard picked up the ball and ran 20 yards into the end zone. The two teams opened the season against each other in Kamloops on Aug. 5, with Okanagan winning 56-6. Kamloops’ final game of the season is this Saturday when the Langley Rams visit Hillside Stadium. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Kamloops and Westshore are out of the playoffs, with Okanagan, Langley, Valley and Vancouver Island vying for seeding among the four playoff spots.

Westsyde secondary quarterback Derek Wrabel (27) led his team to a 20-14 victory over the visiting Valleyview Vikings in high school football action at WSS on Saturday afternoon. Wrabel completed eight of his 21 pass attempts for 121 yards while rushing 15 times for another 60 yards on the ground — including a pair of touchdowns and a two-point conversion.

The Kamloops Broncos were a couple of minutes away from a historic upset in Kelowna on the weekend.

SPORTS

TRU men undefeated on soccer pitch in weekend action against UNBC In one of the wildest finishes local soccer fans have ever seen, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack and University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves scored twice in stoppage time and saw three goals in the final three minutes of the contest as they drew 3-3 in Canada West men’s soccer action on Sunday following a 3-1 TRU win on Saturday. The Timberwolves got goals Sunday from Abou Cisse, Cody Gysbergs and Emmanual Drame. TRU scoring came from Thomas Lantmeeters, Finlay McPhie and Justin Donaldson. Gybergs notched his goal in the 88th minute. Donaldson and Drame tallied theirs in two minutes of extra time. UNBC moves to 4-3-4 on the year while TRU is 3-6-3. TRU had the good chances early. The WolfPack had two corner kicks in the first 12 minutes, both just missed the mark as they were crossed into the crease occupied by Rob Goodey of UNBC. In the 16th minute, Kalifa Fanne drove to the net and fired it just outside the left post. But it was the Timberwolves who drew first blood. In the 30th minute, Abou Cisse put in a loose ball after a set piece for his first goal of the season. UNBC had a glorious chance six minutes later when Owen Stewart went down the right side and took a shot which hit the cross bar. Liam Stewart picked up the loose-ball rebound and couldn’t capitalize. The WolfPack tied the match seven minutes later as a left foot swipe by Thomas Lantmeeters resulted in his fourth goal of the year. Thompson Rivers lost veteran Mitch Popadynetz in stoppage time in the first half after a lower body injury. He did not return for the second half and was replaced by rookie Dylan Hooper. UNBC could have taken the lead in the 50th minute. Gardner came out of the net and left two UNBC players wide open.

Women’s soccer beats, ties UBCO The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team has emerged from a two-game home and home series with their closest geographical rival — in Kelowna — with four of a possible six points. The WolfPack tied the Univesity of British Columbia Okangan Heat 0-0 Saturday at Nonis Field in Kelowna. That draw followed TRU’s 2-0 win over UBCO on Thursday at Hillside Stadium. Danielle Robertson notched her second straight clean sheet. It was her fourth career shutout. In this match she made five saves. Emma Terrilton earned the shutout for UBCO. The result leaves the schools tied in the women’s category of the President’s Cup competition with a win and a tie. —TRU Sports Information

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW TRU’s James Fraser (centre) battled a UNBC opponent for a ball in U Sports men’s soccer action at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. The host WolfPack defeated their northern rivals on Saturday before playing to a draw Sunday.

Francesco Bartolillo had a wide open net but put it outside on the left hand side of the cage. In the 57 th minute, TRU’s Justin Donaldson got a loose ball and blasted it from 30 yards out that Goodey had to stretch to his right to get a piece of it. UNBC keeper Goodey came up with a big stop in the 71st minute when Donaldson saw some open ground and hit a laser to the near left side. The WolfPack took the lead off a corner kick in the 76th minute. Finlay McPhie was served a beauty from Donaldson for his first goal of the year. He outleapt two defenders to head the ball in. It was his first goal of the season. In the 89th minute, UNBC got a penalty kick. Cody Gysbers drew the Timberwolves even when he was awarded a penalty kick and beat Gardner to he left.

The WolfPack immediately came down field off the kick off. Donaldson showed his speed and accuracy as he blew down the left side and blasted it past a startled Goodey’s left shoulder. Donaldson was named the TRU Bookstore/McDonalds’s Leader of the Pack player of the match for the second straight day. But in the 95th minute, Gordon Hall of UNBC threw the ball into the center of the box where Emmanual Drame turned and fired it upstairs on a scrambly Gardner to tie the contest at three. The WolfPack came away with a 3-1 victory over the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves on Saturday. The WolfPack received scoring from from James Fraser, Justin Donaldson and Koffi Nyavor. —TRU Sports Information

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Louise Fuoco February 15, 1926 – September 17, 2018

In Loving Memory of

John Jack 1945 - 1982

Dad was always my pillar when I knew I would fall. Always my anchor, so strong and tall.

Love You Dad Rob

Louise Fuoco, dearly loved, was born in Kamloops on February 15, 1926 to Donald Sinclair (Clair) Dalgleish and Leila Guardhouse Knight. Louise’s mother passed away when she was five and she was raised for several years by her grandmother Agnes Dalgleish. As as girl, Louise loved to ride horseback across the hills of Kamloops, dressed in cowgirl breeches. She looked forward to her summers at the family cabin at Lac LeJeune, where she could spend time with her sister Dorothy. Louise married Santino (Santy) Gaetano Fuoco, her high school sweetheart, in Kamloops on July 14, 1947. During her life with Santy, who managed bakeries throughout western Canada, Louise lived in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Victoria, Nanaimo, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Calgary, before moving to Salt Spring Island in 1977, making lifelong friends along the way. The couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their seaside home in Vesuvius Bay, Salt Spring Island and lived there happily for 28 years. Predeceased by her husband in 2005, Louise leaves behind three children, daughter Theresa and sons Russell (Star) and Michael (Karen), four granddaughters Holly (Dean), Kristi (Zeke), Leila (Max) and

Nicole and five great-grandchildren Sophia and Eleanor Broadland and Ethan, Aubree and Ella Shook. Louise was warmly welcomed into the Fuoco family and was especially close to her sister-in-law Tina Vigna. In 1954, Louise and Santy “won” a tiny cabin that they moved onto a waterfront lot at Scotch Creek on Shuswap Lake and the Vigna family bought the property right next door. After selling the cabin in 1960, Santy and Louise returned to the Shuswap in 2003 and built a summer home across the street from the original cabin. Louise loved her time at Shuswap and at age 91 was delighted to take another dip in the lake she loved. Louise was an accomplished artist with many talents - an award-winning quilter, seamstress and knitter, whose greatgranddaughters still wear her creations. She was also an avid (and prize-winning) gardener, trained as a professional florist and brought her artistry to Heritage Place on Salt Spring, where she lived for three years. A longtime member of the Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club, Louise played in many tournaments and enjoyed the crazy antics of “the golf girls.” She also enjoyed a good game of mahjong.

Eugene “Gene” Zwick February 28, 1939 – September 30, 2018

It is with great sadness to announce, that with his daughters by his side, Gene Zwick of Kamloops, passed away at the age of 79. Dad is survived and will be soulfully missed and remembered by his two daughters Laurie “Rosa” Zwick and Sharlene Zwick. He is predeceased by his father Wasyl “Bill” Zwick and mother Maria (Nikolajenko/Lopatenko) Zwick. Gene was born in Kiev, Ukraine as an only child. After WWII, he and his parents lived in various refugee camps before immigrating to Canada at age 11. Via a brief stay in Toronto, they went to Vancouver to live. Here, on the coast, is where Gene met his dearest and oldest friend Ken Haraldsen. Later, Dad and his family settled in Kitimat, BC when he was a teen. But it was a beautiful sunset in Kamloops, that made Gene, as a young adult, fall in love with the area and is where he decided to start his career and live. For over 30 years Dad taught high school (mathematics, mechanics and science) the majority at John Peterson and shortly before he retired, at Kam High. Dad, known by many as Mr. Zwick, was always so proud of his students and will also be remembered for his chalk throwing abilities. All his life Dad loved the outdoors and his hobbies. He had an ingenious ability to create, build, design and fix almost anything. You would see him skiing, fishing, gardening, flying and many other activities that he loved to pursue with family and friends or just by himself. Dad’s first love though was skiing, which he took every opportunity to do. Sharing in Dad’s love, was his dearest and nearest friend Ian Mackenzie and Dad would always talk about his skiing buddy with such warmth.

In February 2018, Louise moved to Sidney All Care Residence in Sidney, BC. A week before she passed away, Louise, whose famous smile could light up a room, was thrilled to be named champion bowler at All Care’s weekly competition. The family extends their appreciation and thanks to the staff at Heritage Place on Salt Spring Island and Sidney All Care for their excellent, compassionate attention to Louise during the last four years. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Louise can be made to The Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary, www.elephants.com or to Lady Minto Hospital Foundation, www.ladymintofoundation.com, 135 Crofton Road, Salt Spring Island, BC V8K 1T1. A Celebration of Louise’s Life will be held with family and friends in the Lower Mainland later in October.

Louise was a fierce protector and friend to elephants and supporter of the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. She loved animals, especially cats. She was a fan

of Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett and military tattoos. Louise adored hearing the bagpipes and was proud of her Scottish heritage.

Louise will be forever missed.

Funeral Director

I have been happily living in Kamloops since 1991. In 1992 I began working as a funeral director and joined Schoening Funeral Service in August 2000. I am honoured to be of assistance to so many families in their time of need. In my spare time I am involved with the Kamloops Blazer Hockey Booster club. I also hold the position of Treasurer of our Kamloops HOG Chapter.

Dad then took on growing tomatoes… hundreds of them. Plants not just for himself but mostly to sell in the local community, which endeared him the name “The Tomato Guy”. Dad also had over 15 years with driving bus (Thompson Valley Charters) where he loved interacting with tourists and his coworkers. At age 60 Dad earned his pilots license. He loved restoring his ultralight aircrafts and would start his tales of getting them to fly with…. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t hurt…”.

January 31, 1948 - June 24, 2018

But of all the things that he did, the most wonderful was being our dad. He had the kindest, most caring and generous heart and never stopped giving of his love and time. Daddy, you have the most beautiful soul, you are so very loved and you will be so dearly and so deeply missed. You are forever loved. We would like to sincerely thank the RIH ICU staff for their kindness, tenderness and compassion. To Ian Mackenzie, we are eternally grateful that Dad was able to have you by his side (in life) and at the end, and for sharing your stories of him with us.
