MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Green Leader Elizabeth May (right) campaigned in Kamloops on Tuesday with local candidate Iain Currie as the pair led supporters on a walk through downtown Kamloops. Voters go to the polls on Monday, Oct. 21.

Green leader Elizabeth May was in Kamloops on Tuesday, six days before the federal election, to promise tax reform measures and show support for Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo candidate Iain Currie. “A strong Green caucus will start with Greens being elected in the Maritimes, will continue across the country and, of course, with British Columbia. That’s where we know that we are strongest,” May said, stating she is proud of “quality” candidates fielded by the party and its platform. The local campaign

Federal Election Oct. 21, 2019 office, at 135 Victoria St., was filled with Green supporters and journalists during May’s first visit to the riding during the election campaign. (May did, however, visit the city in March.) Citing volunteers, donations, doorknocking, social media presence and people who demand action on climate change, Currie said the party has seen

an upswing in support locally. Asked of her party’s chances federally and in the riding, May cited success in the 2017 provincial election and insisted her party could win in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo. “When I saw the provincial Greens in 2017, having not even had a candidate here in previous provincial elections, run Dan Hines and Donovan Cavers and get 20 per cent of the vote, then we thought, ‘OK,’” May said. “KamloopsThompson-Cariboo is an area where the Greens can do well. In fact, we can win. Especially now we see the Liberals trying so hard with Terry Lake.” See MAY, A6

West Victoria work continues with eye toward end-of-year deadline JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

After crews took the long weekend off to gobble up turkey with their families, the West Victoria Street reconstruction project continues this week. The city said it is working to have all lanes of traffic and pedestrian access open by the end of the year, pending the weather. Last week, the city’s downtown core experienced an influx of traffic, due to construction and other factors, including multiple car accidents and work on the Red Bridge. “Extreme Excavating and the city apologize for the significant delays to traffic during the grading and paving this week,” a project update for Oct. 12 by the city stated. Two eastbound and one westbound lanes from Spoke N’Motion and The Mustard Seed to Boomers Automotive were paved on Oct. 11. This week, third-party utility work continues near Sun Life Financial, while excavation continues west of that area. Landscaping, including tree planting and brickwork, is taking place throughout the arterial corridor. During this time, the city is reminding residents that the speed limit in the construction zone is 30 kilometres per hour. Due to safety concerns, the RCMP is patrolling vehicular speeds, with fines for speeding in a work zone start at $196. Meanwhile, as Kamloops drivers adjust their commutes, seek clever ways to shave time or simply sit in their vehicle cussing, the city is asking for patience. Traffic was increasingly gridlocked in the city last week due to a perfect storm of conditions: construction of a major arterial road leading to and from downtown, the closure the Red Bridge at night due to inspection work, a breach of a gas line on West

May muses on vote-splitting

“It begins to be the kind of issue where when you’ve got a bunch of strong campaigns, the Greens can come up the middle,” May said. “That’s the scenario right now.” The local Greens have raised more money than in any previous campaign, flew in a campaign manager from the Maritimes and have been very visible. However, two major issues may in fact hamper May’s grand plans federally and locally. First, the NDP has in the past week risen in the polls, which could arguably steal votes from Greens across the country. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is widely regarded to have had a strong performance in the English-speaking leader’s debate. Asked whether increased popularity of the NDP hurts her party, May said that remains to be seen. She noted NDP popularity is nowhere near historic levels, in the days of Jack Layton, and criticized the party’s platform for being similar to that of the Liberals, at least on the issue of climate change. In addition to a strong Green candidate in Currie, the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding undeniably has two other strong candidates, whose parties are both well ahead of the Greens in national polls: Liberal candidate Terry Lake and Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod. So, what are May’s thoughts on the possibility of vote-splitting in this riding, as was the case in the 2015 federal election when strong showings by New Democrat Bill Sundhu and Liberal Steve Powrie saw McLeod squeeze up the middle and be reelected? “I think that, No. 1, if [Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau had kept his promise [on electoral reform], we wouldn’t be talk-

ing about this now,” May said, leading to applause from supporters. “There are a lot of people who voted Liberal last time who will never vote Liberal again, based on that betrayal. But the reality is, and one doesn’t wish to express effusive thanks to Max Bernier, but the vote on the right is split and there are People’s Party candidates in my own riding on Saanich-Gulf Islands, a really nice guy, good, local former police officer … but there are People’s Party candidates out there who are directly appealing to the same voter base as [Conservative Leader] Andrew Scheer.” Beyond looking into a crystal ball in advance of election day, May on Tuesday announced a Green government would review the country’s tax system, with reforms targeting the wealthy and corporations “where rich people hide” in order to pay for social programs that include, but are not lim-

Among those reforms: imposing a 0.2 per cent financial transactions tax in the finance sector, increasing the federal corporate tax rate to 21 per cent from 15 per cent and charging a five per cent surtax on commercial bank profits, excluding credit unions and co-ops. Asked what could stop banks from turning around and charging more to customers who are not wealthy, Green finance critic and Misison-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon candidate John Kidder (also May’s husband) told KTW the party expects banks would pass on the increase, but would watch the situation carefully over time. The Greens also pledged to maintain current small business taxes.

from Corrections officers Thefts vehicles dip plan safety protest last week KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Correctional officers will be protesting outside the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre this Thursday from noon to 1:30 p.m. to bring attention to what their union says is increasing incidents of violence against correctional officers. “Prison violence continues to escalate and assaults on correctional officers have skyrocketed. These officers put their lives at risk every day and it’s just a matter of time before one of our members gets killed on the job,” said Dean Purdy, the BC Government Employees’ Union’s vice-president of corrections and sheriff Services. “Inmate overcrowding and double-bunking are serious safety issues that increase the threat to staff safety, but we still haven’t seen much movement by management on this issue.”

In April, Purdy told KTW the Kamloops prison had recorded an all-time high of 27 assaults by inmates on staff. Those numbers were compiled by the union. At the time, BC Corrections showed only two assaults by inmates against staff at KRCC through the first half of 2018. Prior to 2001, Purdy said, the inmate-to-staff ratio in B.C. prisons was capped at 20:1. He said that ratio is now as high as 72:1, noting recent statistics from Corrections BC show assaults on officers and inmate-on-inmate violence continues to rise. “We are the only jail in Canada that has one officer with up to 72 inmates. It’s not good enough,” he said. “There is an opportunity now for the new government to bring the staff-toinmate ratio back to manageable levels. Unless changes are made, B.C.’s correctional officers will continue to be put at high risk.”

A Kamloops woman who has breached her release conditions at least twice since being arrested on firearms charges last year has once again been granted bail. Kristy Johnson, 36, was arrested following an alleged home-invasionstyle armed robbery at a Valleyview motel 13 months ago. Police descended on the Tournament Inn on Sept. 13, 2018, and found the doors had been kicked in on a suite. Mounties saw a man appearing to hide long items beneath

There were 28 reported thefts from vehicles in Kamloops last week, according to the latest figures released by Mounties. The number of reported thefts is well below the average and an all-time reported low in the three-and-a-half months since Mounties have released the figures to media. Downtown and South Kamloops were both spared from a single reported theft in the most recent week’s data, which spans from Oct. 7 to Oct. 15. Mounties began releasing the information weekly in July. Since then, there have been 761 reported thefts from vehicles. The highest number of incidents per week was 73, recorded between Sept. 16 and Sept. 22. The average number of thefts in a week is 50.

She was arrested for a third time last month and admitted to breaching her bail. In court on Friday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Len Marchand granted Johnson bail a third time. Her trial had been slated to begin this week, but was adjourned due to the recent death of Don Campbell, her coaccused’s defence lawyer. Johnson is slated to return to court this week to set a new date for her trial.

ASSESSING ALL OF THOSE PROMISES

he platforms are there to be read, the candidates have been knocking on doors across Kamloops, most federal party leaders have visited the city and promises — so many promises — have been made. The promises — which can be read on pages A14 to A16 of today’s paper and online at kamloopsthisweek.com — are many. Your priorities as a voter will align with some promises, but not with others. And, while there is no way to know whether this promise or that promise will be kept, there is a way to track past promises — as has been done by a group of academics in a recently released book called Assessing Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government. As the researchers told the National Post, Trudeau’s government made 353 pre-election promises in the 2015 campaign. The Liberal government entirely followed through on about 50 per cent of its pledges, partially delivered on about 40 per cent and had broken about 10 per cent. Interestingly, researchers found that the Trudeau government and its predecessor, the Stephen Harper administration, had the highest rates of fulfilling pre-election promises of any federal governments since 1984. In another Trudeau/Harper comparison, researchers found that when tabulating fully kept and partially met promises, Trudeau scored 92 per cent and Harper came in at 85 per cent. When only fully met promises were counted, Harper registered 77 per cent, with Trudeau at 53.5 per cent. Past practices do not always predict future actions, but they can be useful in assessing a party’s possible commitment to voters. Of course, neither the NDP, Green nor People’s Party have had a chance to form government and have their promises monitored going forward, but the research seems to show politicians do indeed generally follow words with actions, despite public perception to the contrary. An election really is nothing more than promises in exchange for votes. Read them carefully, decide which ones matter to you, judge which ones will likely become reality — and vote on Oct. 21.

A council team that does listen and work for you

lmost one year ago, voters of Kamloops chose a team of eight councillors and one mayor to represent them at city hall. Using the word “team” is crucial when talking about your local government. We are each members of a team, working toward a common goal of a better Kamloops. At the end of the day, we are all here for you, the residents of Kamloops. Discussions and exchanges of ideas and information within our team allow us to work together to reach our common goal. Last week, I was mentioned multiple times in a local column that was then distributed to other local news outlets in Kamloops and shared multiple times online. I understand that being an elected official opens a person up to criticism, but I must speak up when something is wrong. The column incorrectly stated I was not at a certain closed meeting, yet I have been at all closed council meetings since being elected.

MIKE O’REILLY View From

CITY HALL The column that was based on incorrect information has since been corrected, but this incident does highlight the importance of having a council team. It is impossible for any single councillor, or the mayor, to attend every meeting in the community to which we are invited. That being said, the vast majority of the time, there is at least one councillor, or the mayor, present at a meeting. At any given meeting, there might be one elected official attending and the benefit of being a team is that one person can represent the

entire council collective. That one person can represent mayor and council, provide information to the meeting participants and will bring relevant comments and information back to the council team. The same applies with emails. When council as a whole is emailed, typically one councillor, usually the first to respond, will handle the inquiry from that point onward. While we don’t all respond, I can tell you for a fact we all spend hours every week reading through each and every email we receive. I am proud of the nonpartisan council team of which I am part and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we are listening, we are reading and we are working, together, to make life better for you. Mike O’Reilly is a Kamloops councillor. Council columns appear monthly in KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek. com. O’Reilly can be reached by email at moreilly@kamloops. ca.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘SNEAKY DRIVERS’ ARE THE ONES FOLLOWING RULES Editor: Re: Barrie Wells’ letter of Oct. 11 (‘Sneaky drivers adding to traffic chaos’): I chuckled when I read this letter. Whenever I see a long line of traffic in one lane and the other lane empty, I choose the free lane, mainly because I refuse to sit with the herd, so to speak. I’m confused as

to why drivers in Kamloops forget or refuse to use the zipper merge method. It took a while for Kamloopsians to adopt this method during the 2015 Overlanders Bridge repairs, but drivers finally caught on. We will continue to have some backed-up traffic in the city until the West Victoria Street reconstruction project

is completed. I hope this helps jog the memories of some as to how to zipper merge. By the way, I’m one of the “road rebels” Wells referred to, a driver who turns at the Mission Flats intersection when I forget to avoid the Summit Connector during busy times. Murray Brown Kamloops

PREFER ‘SNEAKY’ OVER RAGE Editor: Re: Barrie Wells’ letter of Oct. 11 (‘Sneaky drivers adding to traffic chaos’): After reading Wells’ letter about “road rebels” turning around at Mission Flats Road, I have to say comments about “boiling blood” and

“road rage” suggest the actual problem lies with the letter writer and like-minded people. I’d prefer to encounter a sneaky driver than one filled with dangerous anger any day. Chad Pearson Kamloops

PRIVATE AUTO INSURANCE NEEDED Editor: Re: Les Evens’ letter of Oct. 4 (‘It’s time to tear down ICBC’s walls’): Evans’ opinion on ICBC is spot-on. What is so sacred about ICBC that the provincial government feels justified in holding the taxpayers of this province respon-

sible for the gross incompetence of the Crown corporation? Why are responsible people being nailed with insurance costs that virtually force them to park their cars, all in the name of preserving this behemoth of inefficiency? Many people may now resort to driving without insurance,

which will will result in a whole new set of problems. Why is the B.C. government in the insurance business anyway? Let private insurance take over and breathe some fresh air into this disastrous situation. M. MacLeod Kamloops

GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE COMPASSION Editor: On Sept. 13, I was riding my bicycle in Valleyview Drive area. Coming from Knollwood Drive and turning right on to Valleyview Drive, I rode onto the sidewalk because of road construction. I then took a terrible fall from my bike. I was fortunate to be wearing a helmet as it was cracked from the impact of colliding with the edge of the sidewalk. If a helmet was not worn, my

injuries would have been much more serious. Thank you to the road construction foreman and a lady who assisted him in tending to me so promptly, ordering an ambulance and keeping me calm. Another gentleman checked to see if I had a cellphone (fortunately, I had a phone) and if there was somebody I could call. I informed them my husband was in surgery, so I could try my neighbours and nephew.

Fortunately the neighbours were home and came rushing to the accident scene and looked after my bike with the foreman. The ambulance crew was very efficient and thorough and rushed me to Royal Inland Hospital. A huge thank you to all who helped me. I am grateful there are such compassionate, understanding, helpful and loving people in my life. Del Macready Kamloops

CLOSE TURNOFF OPTION FOR NOW THANKS FOR THE SMOKE-FREE SUMMER Editor: Re: Barrie Wells’ letter of Oct. 11 (‘Sneaky drivers adding to traffic chaos’): I agree with Wells. Apparently, some drivers feel they are more important than the rest of us.

It is time to close that option of using the Mission Flats turnoff as a way to skip the wait on the Summit Connector until the West Victoria Street reconstruction project is finished. Roman Hessell Kamloops

Editor: I want to commend all those who worked so hard and effectively on fire prevention this past year. Their work was so evident this summer

with rapid response to identified fires using drones, etc., but also in the diligent development of fire-resistant zones, including visiting homes to provide expert advice.

We all enjoyed summer again. Big cheers and grateful thanks to all who kept us smoke-free this summer. A reminder to those who still toss cigarette

With a notably quiet 2019 wildfire season wrapped up, the causes of fires in 2018’s recordbreaking year are now being revealed, including a blaze near Logan Lake. The Tunkwa Lake Road fire started May 15, 2018, about 40 kilometres southwest of Logan Lake. The fire claimed forestry equipment in the area and burned 165 hectares of forest just east of Tunkwa Provincial Park. With clear skies and no recorded lightning in the area, and other causes ruled out, BC Wildfire Service’s fire origin and cause specialists looked to nearby equipment use to determine if it was the cause of the fire and concluded it was. The investigators determined that a feller buncher harvesting trees had struck a rock, causing hot metal fragments to shear off and ignite material on the forest floor, including felled trees and woody debris leftover from harvesting operations. “At the general ignition area, investigators observed a ‘rock strike’ location. Investigators were able to collect four metal fragments from that location,”

This blaze near Logan Lake scorched 165 hectares of forest in May 2018. A subsequent investigation linked the fire to forestry work.

the report reads. “One particular fragment showed ‘blue colouring,’ which indicated it was new and not rusted.” The conditions for a fire were somewhat favourable that day, with temperatures in the mid20s, low humidity and a class 3 fire danger rating — or moderate on the five-tier scale. But, as the report notes, rock strikes can generate sparks estimated at 1,400 C and forest fuels can ignite at temperatures as low as 232 C. Another nearby feller buncher came to assist in putting out the fire and the two worked to knock down burning trees, but the fire spread too quickly and

only one piece of equipment escaped undamaged. The logging crews on site further attempted to knock down the fire using hoses and a nearby water tank and shovels, but were unsuccessful. The fire required air tankers, helicopters and more than 70 crew members from the BC Wildfire Service to combat it. No buildings were affected in the blaze and it was determined to be 100 per cent contained eight days after it began. While 2019 was a quiet year for wildfires, 2018 was a recordsetter, with more than 2,100 wildfires burning approximately 1.3 million hectares of land in the province.

Bullet fragment likely caused 2017 wildfire that destroyed northern B.C. homes: FOI MAX WENKELMAN

BLACK PRESS

Documents obtained by the 100 Mile Free Press reveal what many South Cariboo residents may have already suspected: A wildfire that damaged homes in 2017 was sparked by gunfire at a shooting range. The Gustafsen wildfire took off on July 6, 2017 and grew to 5,700 hectares, prompting mass evacuations, highway closures and air quality warnings during one of B.C.’s worst fire seasons until it was finally contained on July 24. Many of those evacuated found shelter for much of the summer in Kamloops. The ignition area was determined to be a metal shooting target set up in the grass, with litter such as paper and wood scattered around. “Observations made from

within a grid search of the ignition area indicated recent firearms activity, such as bullets and fragmented bullet remnants,” reads a wildfire origin and cause report from the BC Wildfire Service, obtained through a Freedom of Information request. “The igniting object is likely a hot fragment of metal.” The report cited a study on wildfire ignition that found the temperature of bullet fragments can exceed 800 C and that the average ignition temperature of forest fuels ranges from 260 C to 315 C. Authorities continue to investigate culpability. In an emailed response to questions, chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said firearms do not commonly cause wildfires, though it’s become more frequent in recent years, mainly because of the use of

exploding targets and target shooting “in certain areas with certain firearms.” In 2016, the wildfire service recorded one ignition from firearms, Skrepnek said. That increased to six in both 2017 and 2018. In 2019, there has been one. Restricting the use of guns would be hard to enforce, Skrepnek added. Officials use signs and other educational material on the responsible use of firearms and the potential to start fires. “We urge backcountry users and recreational enthusiasts to use caution during wildfire seasons and hot and dry conditions,” Skrepnek said in the email. “Backcountry closures may be implemented during increased fire danger in order to prevent human-caused wildfires.”

Silence now on St. Andrews JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

It appears the Kamloops Heritage Society and the City of Kamloops are on the same page, at least for now. Following disagreement over the fate of the city’s oldest public building, the society and city met on Friday morning at St. Andrews on the Square, with both sides walking away after the meeting disclosing few details of the conversation and calling talks “positive.” Kamloops Heritage Society president Peggy Broad would not disclose details of what was discussed at the meeting, which came after the society

stated its objection to the city taking over operation of the heritage church in the city’s downtown core. However, she said the meeting went “really well.” Included in the meeting were city culture manager Barb Berger, Deputy Mayor Mike O’Reilly, St. Andrews caretaker Melody Formansky and Broad. “We’re just going to have our open conversations and see how it goes,” Broad said. Asked about next steps, she said it depends on what comes from the meeting, when some council members return from Japan. Coun. Denis Walsh has called for review of the decision. In the meantime, the society board will decide its

next steps. On the city’s part, KTW asked what happened at the meeting, whether any new decisions had been made and what happens next. No new details were provided. “I don’t have a lot to comment on it,” O’Reilly said. “It was a good, positive meeting.” The city is planning to take over maintenance and operations of St. Andrews on the Square in March of 2020. Former board members discussed the idea with the city in recent years. The current board, however, wants to continue operating the facility, leading to a public squabble over the fate of the heritage site.

Federal Election 2019 Kamloops This Week has questioned Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo candidates on a number of topics. Today’s topic is TAXES AND AFFORDABILITY.

Housing costs, taxes, stagnant wages and industry automation have impacted the average Canadian. Income tax rates range from 15 per cent on the first $47,000 to 33 per cent on income of more than $210,000. In 2016, the middle-income tax rate was reduced from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent. Should rates be reduced more? If not, what can be done to improve the bottom line of households?

Iain Currie, Green Party: “The Green Party is proposing that we adopt a guaranteed livable income, a livable income across the board for all Canadians to replace the current BandAid system for dealing with poverty. “We’re calling for a national housing strategy and bringing all Canadian govIAIN CURRIE ernments — so federal, provincial, municipal and indigenous governments — together in a council of Canadian governments to deal with a national housing strategy and housing affordability issues. “We are proposing an investment in the co-operative housing sector, tax credits for purposefully built rental housing so that we have incentives for people to build rental housing. “This was a successful strategy in the ‘70s and ‘80s, the federal government’s involvement in housing. “For example, more than a third

of the rental housing in Vancouver at the moment was built in the ‘70s and ‘80s under that tax regime. “We’re a long way from the ‘70s and ‘80s and, still, more than a third of the housing was based on that time when the government was involved.” Cynthia Egli, New Democratic Party: “I’m not sure I’m able to speak to should they reduce more or not. “I feel, and the federal NDP feel, that the richest of rich people need to pay their share of taxes. “The corporate tax rate is 15 per cent, so with all those numbers you’ve just quoted me, my understanding from our platform is we have no intention of increasing taxes CYNTHIA EGLI to everyday Canadians — hardworking people like you and me. “For decades, governments in Ottawa have cut back on services while giving tax breaks to the wealthy. The NDP plan is to make the very richest people pay their fair share. “I can’t honestly answer should they [the middle-income tax rate] be lower — of course, I’m sure we all feel we pay too many taxes — but I feel the richest people should be taxed. “So a New Democratic government would boost the top marginal tax rate and ask the very richest multi-millionaires to pay a bit more towards their shared services with a new one per cent wealth tax — wait for it — on wealth over $20 million. “And that tax would raise about $9 billion a year from fewer than 2,000 people. “So my answer is that the richest people, if anyone is increasing taxes, then the richest people should be taxed.”

THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON 2019s

CLEAROUT SALES EVENT

Ken Finlayson, People’s Party: “We have a tax policy where the first $15,000 would be tax-exempt, the next $85,000 would be 15 per cent and over $100,000 it’s a flat 25. “People are struggling to make ends meet and one of the first areas a government can get at to help that, alleviate that, mitigate that would be taxation. Governments can do something about taxes. We can’t do something about a lot of other things. “The lumber industry, 80 per cent of wood located right here in the Interior of British KEN FINLAYSON Columbia is on the threshold of the worst disaster we’ve ever seen in the lumber industry. “Already, businesses are feeling the impact…. We’ve got less inventory worth half what it used to be and higher costs. Everything from carbon taxes to stumpage fees.” Peter Kerek, Communist Party: Kerek said his party’s position is to eliminate all income tax on incomes below $40,000, double the corporate tax rate, raise capital gains tax to 100 per cent and enact a progressive tax system based on one’s ability to pay. “We’re more focused on increasing the taxes at the high end. “So, if you had enough of a tax increase at the upper end of the income earners, especially corporations, that would allow you to reduce taxes for the middle class and the working poor. There’s sort of a neutral way to give a greater tax break to the middle class. “There’s a handful of PETER KEREK things that

could also benefit the middle class and affordability without touching taxes the way they are. “Things like improving EI benefits in every aspect, pensions can be improved, eliminating student debt, forgiving student debt, eliminating post-secondary tuition. “These are all things that help the middle class and also encourage them to access the benefits that should be available in society. “You should be able to go to university, get an education, even if that’s not going to turn into a job, necessarily. Just the ability to get educated should be something people should pursue and not be burdened by said pursuit. “People should be able to have a family without thinking that second or third child is going to mean that I’m going to be bankrupt or I’m going to die in poverty. “I mean, finances is the number one reason Canadians don’t have more kids. That’s a pretty crude reality, given the state of our country.” Terry Lake, Liberal Party: “You can look at income tax and the middle-class income tax cut was, I think, very meaningful for many Canadians. “But then you have to look at other government programs out there that make life more affordable. “The Canada Child Benefit, which was brought in by TERRY LAKE the Liberals, the new Canada Child Benefit at significantly increased rates, which is tax-free. “For young families that are aspiring to be in the middle class or are in the middle class now, they get that child benefit, which has made a huge difference for close to 900,000 Canadians that were considered

living in poverty that no longer are, thanks to that Canada Child Benefit, including 300,000 children. “Look at housing affordability, as well. The announcement that we are going to be increasing the first-time homeowner’s grant and, in cities like Victoria and Vancouver and Toronto that are very expensive, raising the threshold so that it applies to over 40 per cent of the housing units on the market. That’s significant for firsttime homebuyers. “Also, there’s investments in rental housing across Canada that will put more rental markets on the market.… “If you want to look at other parties that say they will leave more money in your pocket, what they’re basically saying is they’re going to make cuts to government services. “We’ve seen how that plays out in provinces like Ontario, where vital services have been reduced in an effort to have an austerity program.” Cathy McLeod, Conservative Party: “First of all, what the previous government did was give people making $170,000 per year a tax cut. I would suggest that there’s other people who would have needed the support more. “We have put forward what we’re calling the universal tax cut and it will help all Canadians and, especially, CATHY MCLEOD lower-income Canadians in terms of cost of living. We also have a number of other measures, like taking GST off home heating, reintroducing fitness tax credits, arts credits. “The whole focus of our campaign is a recognition of the significant challenges people, whether it be seniors or families or students, are feeling and to try to help them get ahead.”

Kira Cheeseborough, Animal Protection Party: “Our party is wanting to implement a universal basic income program. That would, by default, improve the bottom line for households. “When we’re looking at the KIRA CHEESEBOROUGH tax brackets, it makes sense to reduce the taxes on the lowest tax bracket because those who need the money the most shouldn’t be taxed as much to counteract for those who are obviously in the top tax bracket. “We can balance it out by taxing them more, which is another thing the party is looking to do — increase taxes on the wealthiest.”

Facebook developed its new ad library in response to Bill C-76, which legislated online companies who allow ads about political and social issues during elections to disclose who paid for them.

Sept. 17: Increase federal contribution to registered education savings plans (RESPs) from 20 per cent to 30 per cent for every dollar families add to the savings program, up to $2,500 per year.

Climate change and the loss of cultural heritage Shell midden eroding on a beach. The effects of storm surges on archeological sites located along coastlines are managed by a reactive process. The process requires that these sites are known and can be monitored, but given the wide, rugged span of coastline, this might be an insurmountable task.

ERIN WILSON

MATT BEGG SPECIAL TO KTW

republicofarchaeology.ca

rom unpredictable weather, changing coastlines and wildfires, we’re experiencing challenges recent generations have not faced. Archeology is not immune to these changes and, as archeologists, we are discovering many occurrences in which archeological sites are being affected by climate change. Past Dig It columns have reviewed melting glaciers in alpine environments and how archeological sites, often with wellpreserved bone and wood tools, are being uncovered. Past columns have also told how archeologists and Indigenous communities are surveying and assessing the impact of wildfires on archeological sites. These valuable studies are ongoing, but it’s proving difficult to keep up with the rapid changes to our landscapes. A broader, more cohesive approach to managing the effects of climate change to archeological sites has not yet been developed, but is it likely necessary as we observe increasingly rapid changes. Earlier this year, Parks Canada hosted a workshop to advance the understanding of climate impacts

to cultural resources in B.C. and how the archeological industry is adapting, or should be adapting, to the changes. The key questions identified during the workshop were: how are archeological sites impacted by climate change? What are some of the impacts we are seeing now? What kind of impacts are we likely to see more of in the future? What are some of the responsive actions we are seeing already? What are other actions we should be taking? There was no dis-

agreement that climate change is affecting archeological sites. Instead, the conversation focused on the different types of impacts we are seeing in different parts of the province: storm surges on the coast, melting permafrost in the north and melting glaciers and wildfires throughout B.C. Here in Kamloops, we have seen the effects of widespread wildfires over the past few years, Gwaii Haanas was hit by severe storms this past winter, causing coastal shell mid-

dens to erode at an increased rate, and permafrost is melting at an accelerated rate in northern B.C., exposing sites and making them vulnerable to degradation. What kind of actions are we seeing? These are mostly reactive as we try to respond, but the problem can seem overwhelming when we see the rate at which these impacts are occurring. The effects of wildfires on archeological sites are being managed through archaeological impact assessments (AIAs) of

recently burned landscapes. Archeologists and First Nations leading these AIAs are finding a high volume of archeological sites on exposed, burned ground surfaces created by the fires. These studies are ongoing. The effects of storm surges on archeological sites located along coastlines are managed by a similar reactive process. The process requires that these sites are known and can be monitored, but given the wide, rugged span of coastline, this might be an

insurmountable task. What we’re learning from the reactive response to climate change is that the increasingly rapid rate of change requires us first to prioritize what landscapes we inspect and what sites we plan to manage. Who makes these decisions and how do we go about prioritizing the necessary studies? We don’t have answers to these questions, but it’s an important dialogue to have. It would be great if we could say “x many”

sites were lost while you read this article, to put things in perspective and provide some solid numbers, but unfortunately, nobody actually knows. Indigenous groups, regulatory agencies, educational facilities, the consulting world and the broader communities should play an important role in how these decisions are made. The first step is developing a strategy on how these sites will be prioritized. Other than halting human-caused climate change, the next step is developing strategies to collect data before these sites are destroyed and protect/ preserve where possible and practical. Erin Wilson and Matt Begg are Kamloopsbased archeologists. Interested in more? Go online to republic ofarchaeology.ca. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region.

REVIEW

WCT’s Dracula show definitely does not suck JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen the audience stood up to leave after Dracula: The Bloody Truth on Saturday night, the person behind me said something to the effect of, “Well, that was fun!” I couldn’t agree more. The three-letter word, however simple, sums up Western Canada Theatre’s latest production — and the theatre company’s return to Sagebrush Theatre — perfectly. It left me giggling in my seat and yearning for a cape this Halloween to pull over my face and perform over-the-top zany spin moves just as Kirk Smith, who took on the role of Dracula, did throughout the duration of the comedy. The lens through which the story is told, that of Professor Abraham van Helsing (performed by Christopher Hunt) putting on a play to tell the real story of Dracula, sets the stage to transform a seemingly dark and spooky tale into one of slapstick humour. Everything seemed to go wrong during the show inside the show, from the actors getting injured to wearing the wrong costume to being on stage at the wrong (right) time. One scene utilizing a doll revealed just how perfectly, in fact, everything was going to execute the poorly executed play. Though it appeared to be sloppily positioned on a chair, the doll fell over at just the right time in the exact proper place to reveal its butt to the audience and show that this seemingly hastily performed play within a play was crafted seamlessly behind the scenes. Meanwhile, a scene wherein the stage began falling apart had at least this audience member looking up at the roof trusses of Sagebrush Theatre, which reopened for this autumn produc-

tion after a cracked truss was discovered earlier this year and shuttered the facility adjacent to South Kamloops secondary. Was that, too, a coincidence or, perhaps, also appropriately timed to pitch a new performing-arts centre, with memberships sold by members of the society pushing the plan during intermission and after the show? (The society’s goal is to sell 1,000 during the run of Dracula.) To that end, Sagebrush was

back to its full glory on a Saturday night, though the show was not sold out. One note if a performing-arts centre does, in fact, come to fruition. Patrons sipping back coffee during intermission would have perhaps enjoyed a glass of wine, while taking in a long weekend night on the town in the local arts scene. Nevertheless, more fun came from watching the small cast of

four run around and perform countless characters. With the amount of costume, voice and gender changes, one would have thought many more actors were on stage than were actually cast in Dracula: The Bloody Truth. It must have taken a lot of physical and mental capacity to run on and off stage, swap outfits, change accents, remember lines and transform themselves into new and believable characters.

Kudos to that quartet, which also included Christy Bruce and Natascha Girgis. Overall, I would recommend this show for a fall night out in Kamloops. It is fun, cute, entertaining, cackle-worthy — whatever you want to call it. Check it out through Oct. 19 at Sagebrush Theatre, 1300 Ninth St. Tickets are available at Kamloops Live box office, 250374-5483, 1025 Lorne St. or kamloopslive.ca.

BRIEFS GARDENGATE SEEKS TO EXPAND PROGRAM The non-profit Open Door Group has launched a fundraising campaign to expand its Gardengate Horticulture Program facility. The Gardengate program is funded by Interior Health and is a partner of the Kamloops Food Policy Council. The horticulture program helps those with addictions and/or mental-health issues. The program has been operating since 2000 out of space in Brocklehurst that is largely unusable during winter months due to lack of heat. With thousands

of people from the community visiting Gardengate each year, the program is now looking to expand its facility. “People come to Gardengate to learn, collaborate purchase produce and connect with the community,” Gardengate manager Robert Wright said. “Personal wellness and community wellness go hand in hand. Participants leave Gardengate with improved selfesteem, greater self-sufficiency and vocational skills that prepare them to enter, or re-enter, the workforce.” The space expansion will allow more people to participate in the program. With the new addition of a commercial kitchen, the program willl give participants the opportunity to cultivate more skills, such as cooking, carpentry,

sales, marketing and machine maintenance. The cost of the facility expansion is $500,000 and more than $150,000 has thus far been raised. To find out more about the project and how to support it, go online to igg.me/at/Gardengate, call 250-554-9453 or email Robert. wright@opendoorgroup.org.

Airport hotel plans to take next step JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Plans for a hotel at Kamloops Airport continue to be explored, with a request for proposals set to be sent out next year. “There’s been some interest out here for that,” airport managing director Ed Ratuski said. “And we’re looking at the infrastructure associated with that, bringing that out there. It would be a really good asset. There has been some interest locally. We’re putting together a proper package for request for proposals that we’ll see in 2020.” Ratuski said passengers from the Thompson, Nicola and Cariboo regions with earlymorning flights out of Kamloops would benefit from a place to rest their heads. “It would just make it a lot more convenient for them and plus there’s not that many hotel options on the North Shore, which is also a really good opportunity,” he said. “And it just so happens to border on a golf course, which is also another bonus.” Ratuski said a hotel could be the catalyst for future commercial development, depending on interest from local developers. In March, Mayor Ken Christian told KTW a hotel on land just north of Airport Road is a priority for the facility. “We would have to have a private-sector developer that wanted to lease land to do that and that would be something that would tie in with the Kamloops Golf and Country Club,” Christian said at the time, noting the hotel would service early-morning and late-evening flights.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Passengers disembark Air Canada Rouge’s inaugural Toronto-Kamloops flight on June 21, 2018. In the first year, there were three flights per week between June and September. This year, there was one flight per week until the end of August.

More flights from Kamloops as of Oct. 27 YEAR-TO-DATE PASSENGER NUMBERS ARE UP BY 13,000 AT FULTON FIELD JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Passenger numbers are down slightly at Kamloops Airport in the second half of 2019, but more flights are on the way. Kamloops Airport managing director Ed Ratuski said a two per cent decline in the third quarter of the year was the result of fewer direct flights to Toronto. Last year, during the same period, the airport had 37 such flights.

This year, it’s about a quarter of that, at 10. In total, 84,748 passengers passed through Kamloops Airport in July, August and September, compared to 86,610 passengers during the same three-month period in 2018. Ratuski said the decrease in Toronto flights was offset in part by growth on Vancouver and Calgary routes. “We were actually planning for a larger decrease over that period,” Ratuski said, noting both the Calgary and Vancouver flights performed “well above” what was forecast.

We’ll show you it’s possible.

Two per cent is not significant in the scheme of things, Ratuski said, with year-to-date passengers up overall by five per cent. Through September, the airport welcomed 269,974 passengers, compared to 256,921 during the same three quarters in 2018. Ratuski is expecting 370,000 passengers by the end of the year — 20,000 more than last year. Increased frequency in flights to Calgary and Vancouver is on the way, with Air Canada set to add to routes and capacity on Oct. 27.

Taylor Miller, a graduating forward from Kamloops, almost staved off tears following her final Canada West contest on home turf. Meanwhile, in other events that enjoyed promising outlooks, her TRU WolfPack nearly earned an important victory over the UBC Okanagan Heat. UBCO forward Yvonne Manwaring’s 76th-minute strike wiped out the Pack’s lead and damaged their playoff aspirations in a 1-1 draw at Hillside Stadium. The realization of finality cued Miller’s waterworks. “I hate it,” Miller said, before the moment sunk in and her eyes welled. “But I love it. I can’t do it.” She could. “It’s definitely bittersweet,” the Westysde secondary graduate continued, successfully suppressing the frog in her throat. “These girls are really great.

years with them.” “Personally, I had a lot of chances, so that also really sucks, but at least we got one point out of it. We are still able to make playoffs.” The WolfPack (2-64) are seventh in the Canada West Pacific Division. The top six, sorted by winning percentage, will qualify for the post-season. Standing in TRU’s way are the sixth-place Fraser Valley Cascades (2-5-5), who will host the WolfPack on Friday in Abbotsford before the Kamloops side wraps regular season play against the Trinity Western Spartans (101-1) on Saturday in Langley. The UNBC Timberwolves (3-5-4) are fifth in the division. Two victories this weekend seem likely to get the WolfPack into the post-season, but they may need help from UNBC and Fraser Valley’s opponents. The path would have been easier had the home team taken care of business on Saturday. TRU, which dispatched UBCO 2-0 on Thursday in Kelowna, deserved to vanquish the Heat on Saturday, but settled for a draw against a team that is last in the division at 1-10-1. “Today are points we targeted and this is a game we thought we

could get something from,” WolfPack head coach Mark Pennington said. “We need to know that when teams come to our home turf, we need to dictate the tempo.” Lessons learned will be carried into the 2020 campaign, but that doesn’t do much for Miller and fellow graduating players Marisa Mendonca of Penticton and Natalie Verdiel of Powell River. “It’s exciting watching the team move forward and knowing we’re doing so many good things, but it’s also sad this is my last time at it,” Mendonca said. “I don’t get to go with them. It’s most definitely hitting me.” Added Verdiel: “I’m just trying to keep my composure. I prepared myself for this moment. I’m kind of proud I’ve held up so well.” Verdiel can also take stock in an assist on Chantal Gammie’s 65th-minute goal, but most of the credit belongs to the markswoman, who turned well on the left wing and used her left foot to put on a finishing clinic. Gammie’s crossgoal shot bounced off the post and in, giving Heat goalkeeper Iona Lawson no chance to make a save. The tying marker came on a through

ball that pierced the WolfPack’s defensive line and left goalkeeper Danielle Robertson with a choice: hold ground or charge and try to snare the ball. Robertson stayed at home. Manwaring was first to the ball and blasted a shot into the top corner. “Fair play. The girl struck it very well,” Pennington said. “They’ve got themselves back into it when I don’t really think we should have let them.” TRU had ample opportunity to win the game in injury time, with a free kick in a dangerous area and three consecutive corner kicks, but the goal never came. “We fought really hard,” Verdiel said. “We did what we could. We’ve got to build for next weekend. “Every game still matters.” PACK ON LAST GASP Justin Donaldson did not reach the scoresheet in his final Canada West match at Hillside Stadium, but that won’t bother him. His TRU WolfPack kept post-season aspirations alive by edging the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna 2-1 on Saturday “Being part of this team and having them behind me, I can’t ask for better teammates,” Donaldson, the fifth-

year forward from Kamloops, told TRU Sports Information. Jan Pirretas Glasmacher put TRU ahead 1-0 in the 24th minute, using a glancing header to nod the ball over Heat goalkeeper Nicholas Reitsma. WolfPack speedster Daniel Sagno’s free kick resulted in a Heat own goal in the 26th minute. Sagno put his team down a man in the 54th minute when he was shown a red card. UBC Okanagan cut the lead in half in the 63rd minute, when Christian Taylor solved TRU goalkeeper Jackson Gardner. “Going down [to 10 men] so early is very tough,” Donaldson said. “Having people step up, go into spaces they don’t want to, having that as a group, I can’t ask for much more.” The top four teams in the Pacific Division, sorted by winning percentage, will advance to the playoffs. TRU (4-5-5,.405 winning percentage) is sixth, but still has an outside chance of leapfrogging fifth-place UBCO (6-6-4, .458) and the fourth-place Fraser Valley Cascades (5-4-4, .487). The WolfPack will finish the regular season with games against the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturday and Sunday in Prince George. UNBC (4-6-3, .385) is last in the division. Fraser Valley will cap the season against the division’s top two teams — second-place Victoria (7-5-1) on Friday in Abbotsford and the first-place UBC T-Birds (9-1-3) on Sunday in Vancouver. The Heat, who held the Pack to a scoreless draw on Thursday in Kelowna, do not have any regular-season games remaining.

The Kamloops Blazers announced in a brief press release that associate coach Darryl Sydor has taken a personal leave of absence from the hockey club. Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley was asked why Sydor is taking the leave of absence. “We can’t talk about that right now,” Bardsley told KTW on Friday afternoon. “We want him to take some time.” Bardlsey said there is no timeline for his return. “We don’t know,” Bardsley said. “Right now, he’s just taking time away. There is no timeline on it. “I’m not sure what’s going to happen. Our focus is some time away, so that’s what we’re doing.” Sydor, who is also part-owner of the Western Hockey League team, was added to the bench as an assistant coach in February and promoted to associate coach prior to this season. The former defenceman played in 1,291 NHL games and won Stanley Cups with Dallas in 1999 and Tampa Bay in 2004. He played his junior hockey in Kamloops from 1988 to 1992, winning a Memorial Cup in 1992.

The Kamloops Raiders claimed gold in the under-19 elite girls’ division on the weekend at the Kamloops Rugby Sevens Tournament on McArthur Island. Kamloops, which had help from a few Kelowna players, earned a 12-5 win over the Calgary Mavericks in the championship game, avenging a defeat in round-robin play. “Our girls bounced back,” said Sue Kabotoff, who helped coach the Kamloops squad, along with Dion Silversides and John Goode. “We had an incredible amount of speed and skill on that team.” Caleigh Silversides of Kamloops was named tournament MVP. “She was a phenomenal ball thief all weekend,” Kabotoff said. Also claiming gold on the female side were U19 Williams Lake, U16 elite Calgary, U16 Kootenay and U14 Abbotsford. Winners in the

boys’ divisions: U19 Thompson Okanagan Rugby Alliance, U17 Bayside of South Surrey and U15 James Bay.

Robert Thompson (Tom) Buchanan September 5, 1931 – October 11, 2019

Tom passed away peacefully at Kamloops Seniors Village in Kamloops, BC. Tom was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and was the eldest of twelve children of Alfred and Rena Buchanan (née Jackson). A former resident of Kaministiqua and Thunder Bay, Tom and his family moved to Kamloops in 1972.

Sheldon Young October 13th, 1972

Tom did very well for himself with only a Grade 6 education. He bought his first house at 22 and was able to retire at 55 at which time he built his house in Barnhartvale. He owned several businesses in both Thunder Bay and Kamloops. Tom had many interests including gold mining, metal detecting and camping. He could be seen metal detecting on beaches, parks and campgrounds. He proudly owned several gold claims and spent many months there with his dogs Boomer and Duchess. In his later years, he enjoyed travelling with his children seeing many places. Throughout these trips he shared many stories and sometimes he may have added a little to them. He enjoyed attending the Tournament Capital Centre and would ride the stationary bike and walk the track. He was very proud to say he was a member of a gym at 80 years old. Tom is lovingly remembered and survived by his wife Marjorie (Grieve) of 62 years, sons Rob (Joyce), Peter (Teresa) of Kamloops, Earl (Heather) of Calgary and daughter Juliann (Bernie) of Thunder Bay. He has eleven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. He is also survived by four brothers and one sister and was predeceased by his parents, six siblings and one great-grandson. The family would like to say a special thank you to the wonderful staff at Kamloops Senior Village in Pod 1A who looked after Tom so well. Interment at Hillside Cemetery at 11:00 am on Thursday, October 17, 2019. Family gathering to follow at Desert Gardens at 12:30 pm.

William (Bill) John Mewhort January 3, 1945 - October 11, 2019

Bill was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and teacher. He was kind, caring and generous of his time. His sense of humour and insight helped our family through many challenges. His family was of prime importance in his life. He shared his love of the natural world with his four children through camping, skiing, hunting, cycling, hiking and canoeing. He loved knowledge and gathered it wherever he could, both formally, in his two degrees from UBC and his Chartered Accountant designation, and informally, by always reading books and articles. Bill was able to fix anything. He believed that if others could do something, so could he. He was a respected educator at both the high school and college levels for Business and Computers for 28 years. A pioneer in introducing computers into the Kamloops School District, he also inspired many of his students to enter these fields. Volunteering was of great importance to Bill. Over the years, he volunteered for the Sun Peaks Ski Patrol (13 years), Kamloops Food Bank (including 5 ½ years as treasurer), and, after retirement, for St. John Ambulance. He recently re-certified for his Medical First Responder, scoring well - a source of

pride for him. Other organizations for which he volunteered were many: leader for Beavers and Cubs, treasurer for the South Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (9 years), treasurer for the Aberdeen Community Association and for our Strata Council. Bill leaves many to cherish his memory, including his wife Heather, sons Brad (Michelle), Kent (Denise), Curtis (Thao) and daughter Anna (Will), as well as three grandchildren whom he adored Florence, Isla and Charlie. He was well-loved and well-respected by his extended family and friends. A private family service will be held in the near future, in accordance with Bill’s wishes.

Never Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out –

In lieu of flowers (family allergies), Bill would appreciate donations in his memory to be made to the Kamloops Food Bank, the Kamloops Branch of St. John Ambulance, or the ICCHA Wish Fund for Cardiac Care at Royal Inland Hospital.

And you never can tell how close you are,

On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

It may be near when it seems so far,

It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

We provide in-home arrangements personally tailored for each individual. Different. On purpose. #4- 665 Tranquille Road, Kamloops | 250-554-2324

Gift

Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... & you loved me. by DJ Kramer

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Sometimes you have to make others work to earn your affection, Aries. You can’t make it easy for everyone, and that’s fine. Set your own criteria for friendships.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 After several meaningful conversations with a confidante, your mind may be changed on an important topic, Taurus. Embrace this newfound perspective.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you have been trying your hardest regarding a specific situation, you may have to take a new approach. You tried your best so don’t let things get you down.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, you often like to have all of your ducks in a row, but this week you may need to throw caution to the wind. People may be surprised at your spontaneity.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Listen carefully to what others are saying, Leo. You have to find the meaning between the words; otherwise, you can’t get the bigger picture others are seeing.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Let a few laughs out this week if the pressure builds, Virgo. You have been pushing yourself, and it’s easy for stress to build up. Laughter is the best medicine for this.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you run into a spot of trouble, you can always use your charm to get out of it. You have a way with words, and it usually helps in a pinch.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 You may choose to be understated in your approach to a relationship, Capricorn. However, those closest to you understand that bigger emotions are brewing beneath the surface.

Merritt, BC Are you looking to grow your career in an environment where you have the freedom to produce, curate and edit content that is useful and interesting to a growing readership? Our award-winning community newspaper located in the beautiful Thompson-Okanagan is seeking an editor.

As editor, you have the opportunity to tell the stories that matter to the people of the Nicola Valley, many of whom continue to rely on the newspaper to keep them informed. The successful applicant will work with local contributors while producing six to eight stories per week, taking photographs to accompany those stories, writing sports, columns and editorials, and editing the stories coming in from the reporter and columnists. The editor will also lay out the newspaper once per week using Adobe InDesign and upload the paper and photo galleries to the newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and post them on social media. The successful candidate will be community-oriented and have a serious interest in current events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; locally, regionally, provincially, nationally and globally. This position is ideal for a candidate with at least two years of reporting experience wishing to gain editor experience in the everevolving world of journalism. Qualifications: The preferred candidate will be a self-starter with an accredited journalism degree who works efficiently on his or her own.
