Saving the environment and money The rumours are true. Kamloops will have a car-sharing program in the very near future after several months of hard work by volunteers. The Interior Car Sharing Co-operative (InCar) will be providing the community with affordable transportation. On June 18, the group met at Maurya’s Fine Indian Cuisine to hold an informational meeting to get the public more involved. Krystal Kehoe, one of the founding organizers, is excited about this opportunity to provide a public service and help to reduce the toxins put into the air by motor vehicles. “The idea originated in 2013 at the Kamloops Ideas Festival,” comments Krystal. “Councilor Arjun Singh invited people from around Kamloops to talk about suggestions on transportation issues in Kamloops.” It was here that the idea of getting a car share program into place came to light. “I became very interested in the idea while at the festival,” shares Krystal. “Last summer, Arjun held a meeting for people to talk about how we could get a car share started.” Krystal is a strong believer in alternative transportation. “I ride my bike to work, I take the bus and I enjoy walking,” she adds. “I own a car, but don’t enjoy owning it.” For Krystal, the expense of having a car if you don’t use it every day isn’t very affordable. During their June 18 meeting, the

group presented their business plan and budget to members of the community. “We have started accepting memberships,” Krystal says. “We are a non-profit community cooperative. We need to get the word out that we are looking for 35 to 40 founding full memberships to get our first vehicles on the road before September.” To be a founding full member you will pay $500 for your shares.

amount is 100 per cent refundable if you happen to choose to no longer participate. With this membership, you will also have voting rights to decide what types of vehicles will be used and where they will be housed for the car share. You can also choose to be a casual member for a monthly fee which is not refundable. This membership does not have voting rights and is dependent on the 35 to 40 found

full memberships being filled. “We will hold an annual general meeting in July to make decisions on where the vehicles will go,” comments Krystal. “In our research and survey we have found that Kamloops is interested in a car and a truck for the city.” How InCar works is you only pay for your vehicle use. Krystal explains, “You pay for what you use - continued on page 2

bountiful harvest

Enhanced access to surgical services is now one step closer to reality, as Interior Health has named Delnor Construction Ltd. as the successful proponent for Construction Management Services for the creation of a new operating room at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH). Royal Inland Hospital currently has eight operating rooms and with this renovation, a ninth elective OR and a new equipment storage area will be created. The project also calls for new equipment and the addition of four beds in Post-Anesthetic Recovery. Additionally, RIH plans to add eight post-operative surgical beds, one intensive care bed and associated staffing. It is anticipated that construction will begin in the fall. For more information visit rihfoundation.ca.  The Gleaning Abundance Project is looking for volunteers to help harvest excess fruit from residential trees. The volunteers will share in the harvest with the other shares going to the homeowners and various non-profits. Harvest season continues until November, seven days a week, 8:00am to 6:00pm. Visit gleaningabundance.com to volunteer or register a garden or tree.

Investments in Housing First homelessness initiatives Cathy McLeod announced more than $2,400,000 in funding through the City of Kamloops as it implements Housing First, a proven, evidence-based approach to end homelessness. Housing First is the cornerstone of the Government’s renewed Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS). It aims to stabilize the lives of homeless individuals for the long-term by first moving them into permanent housing and then providing additional support for underlying issues, such as addiction and mental health. The end goal is ensuring these individuals become self-sufficient, fully participating members of society. The City of Kamloops is receiving this funding over five years to support projects in the community

that prevent and reduce homelessness, including projects that address the needs of the Aboriginal homeless population. “We are pleased to partner with the City of Kamloops to implement Housing First. Through this new approach, we can move out of crisis mode in terms of managing homelessness and work towards eliminating it altogether building stronger communities and ensuring Canada’s long-term prosperity,” said McLeod. “We greatly appreciate the federal government’s decision to renew the Homelessness Partnering Strategy for a five-year period. Housing First is a proven approach, as demonstrated by the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s At Home/Chez Soi project. As Community Entity

and local administrator for the federal HPS funds, we look forward to continue working with our federal, provincial, and community partners to prevent and end homelessness in our community,” said Carmin Mazzotta, Social and Community Development supervisor with the City of Kamloops. “The Government’s renewal of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy with a shift to Housing First is great news. The results of the At Home/Chez Soi project clearly demonstrate that the Housing First approach works in Canada. A house is so much more than a roof over one’s head. It represents dignity, security, and, above all, hope,” said Louise Bradley, President and CEO of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

Friendly transit

- continued from front and your annual membership includes insurance, servicing, fuel and things like that. It is an affordable option that allows you to have access to a vehicle some of the time or a second vehicle when you need it.” There are a few reasons to join a car share. For one, you will save money. “On average a compact car costs about $9,500 a year to run,” states Krystal. The second reason to join is to be environmentally responsible. “One car share vehicle, takes between four to eight cars off the road,” Krystal adds. If you are interested in this environmentally friendly and affordable transportation option you should checkout interiorcarshare.ca. The group will be putting on another information and membership sign up night in July because of the positive response they got from the meeting on June 18. This meeting will be on the North Shore.

Half price furry love

SHINY HOPPY PEOPLE

Get all the love for half the price during the BC SPCA’s Half Price Love cat adoption event, presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, from July 14 to 20. The campaign promotes the joy of pet guardianship by allowing potential pet guardians to adopt cats and rabbits from their local SPCA shelter for half the price of the usual adoption fees. “During this time of year, we always see an influx of animals at all of our branches throughout the province,” says Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA general manager of community relations. “We want to end the wait for the many animals in our shelters who are looking for loving homes by offering a reduced adoption fee. We’re hoping it will encourage people who have been considering adopting a pet to visit their local SPCA and take home

a new, furry friend.” Normal adoption counselling and matching takes place to ensure animals go to good homes, she notes. Currently, there are 1,684 cats and kittens in BC SPCA care across the province – 766 cats and 918 kittens. The BC SPCA is also caring for 118 rabbits in shelters throughout B.C., with 50 per cent of them coming into care as a result of cruelty investigations. Senior cats often wait longer than kittens before being adopted, while rabbits wait the longest in SPCA care before adoption – an average of at least 90 days, often longer – before finding their forever home. Help a rabbit or feline find a forever home today. To find out more about the Half Price Love promotion, visit the Kamloops SPCA branch at 1211 8th Street or call 250-376-7722.

The new voice of seniors in the BC Interior The widening gap between what government thinks seniors need and want, and the services actually being delivered is the motivation behind a group of community minded individuals who are primarily seniors themselves. This enthused and knowledgeable group will work towards the strategic development of strengthening the communication between all levels of government through a strong and united voice for seniors. “We need a nonpartisan voice that will go above grassroots organizations” says Isabelle Allen, president of the newly formed Interior BC Council on Aging Society.” Governments often take a condescending approach when it comes to the realistic needs of our aging population. Despite the volumes of research focused on what type of community services and programs can best support our senior population there has been little action reflecting the recommendations contained therein. What has developed is a large percentage of primarily volunteer based organizations struggling to deliver services

and meet needs. Services are often fragmented with minimal funding or outside support and often lack valuable communication and awareness. “There needs to be a consolidated approach that is effective and also identifies the best use of tax dollars within individual communities and districts” says Allan. The stated purpose of the Council on Aging is “to bring awareness to and offer possible solutions for issues affecting an aging population

through research and by drawing on the knowledge and experience within relevant sections of the community.” The society was officially launched in March. Over the coming months, the board of directors will recruit additional members who support the purpose of the society and strengthen the organization.

BC Living Arts Got Talent winners announced With an aim to foster and promote local talent, Kamloops charitable organization BC Living Arts’ production Kamloops Got Talent provided the venue for amateurs who reside within the Thompson Nicola region to brave stage fright and strut their stuff in front of a live audience. While each contestant brought something special to the stage, the numbers were narrowed from approximately 70 performers down to 39 after auditions were held at Aberdeen Mall. Contestants who advanced forward to the final rounds performed on Tuesday at the Rotary Bandshell as part of the Canada Day celebrations. Judges selected winners based on stage presence, originality, overall performance, talent and audience appeal. Winners of the Mini Talent Competition were nine-year old dancer Maya Shuttleworth, and singer Miranda Maher, age 12. Singer/guitarist Kat Johnson, age 17, impressed the judges with her stand-out performance and was awarded the $100 Teen Talent prize. In the Adult category, singer Vince Austin went home $275 richer for his performance. The audience had the opportunity to vote with loonies for their favourite act. After the loonies were tallied, singer Daniel Lene San Miguel garnered the most votes.

Local singer Vince Austin was the winner in the Adult category of Kamloops Got Talent. Finalists performed on Canada Day at the Rotary Bandshell.

Blazers select Patrik Maier and Michael Fora The Kamloops Blazers used their sixth overall pick in the 2014 CHL Import Draft to select 1996-born defenseman Patrik Maier from Slovakia. Soon to be 18 years old, Patrik played this past season with the U-18 Team Slovakia. He recorded a goal and nine points along with 172 penalty minutes in 38 games this season. Patrik also played for his country at the U-18 World Championships held in Finland this past spring. He recorded a goal in five games played at the event.

Rhythm and timing trick

The Bratislava, Slovakia native is touted as a good skater with a physical element to his game. The 5’11” and 190lb defenseman will be first time eligible for the 2015 NHL Draft as he does not turn 18 until November 6. The Blazers used their final pick to select 1995-born defenseman Michael Fora from Switzerland. Michael played for Ambri-Piotta U-20 team this past season. He had nine points in 38 games and was the team captain. The 6’2” and 198lb defenseman has a connection with the

hockey club as his agent in former Kamloops Blazers star Hnat Domenichelli (1992-1996). Domenichelli retired this season after playing the last 11 years in the Swiss-A professional league. Both players are expected to join the Blazers in time for training camp in mid-August. To purchase your 2014-2015 season tickets contact ticketing and promotions coordinator, Missy Cederholm by phone at 778-471-8068 or by email at mcederholm@blazerhockey.com.

Lift your right foot a few inches from the floor and then begin to move it in a clockwise direction. While you’re doing this, use a finger your right index finger to draw a number six in the air. Your foot will turn in an anticlockwise direction and there’s nothing you can do about it! The left side of your brain, which controls the right side of your body, is responsible for rhythm and timing. The left side of your brain cannot deal with operating two opposite movements at the same time and so it combines them into a single motion.

Stories of earth and life

ECHO FAREWELL2

Echo staffers hosted a potluck and said their goodbyes to editor Ashley Demedeiros and carrier Russel Kutcher last week. Ashley accepted a position with ROI Media Works and Russel is entering retirement. Congratulations and thanks for all your hard work. Be sure to come and visit us when you are in the neighbourhood!

Did you know that it took almost two billion years to evolve an atmosphere conducive to life on Earth? Nancy Van Wagoner, a geologist and artist explores the connections between art, science and life in her first solo exhibition, Stories of Earth and Life in Clay, presented by the Kamloops Arts Council at the Wilson House Gallery.  “I have always been inspired by the close, interwoven connection between art, science, and the humanities,” says Van Wagoner. The works explore such topics as the evolution of life, the atmosphere, and climate change in an endeavor to, “use art to make unfamiliar and scientifically abstract concepts more tangible, and perhaps a bit more fun.” In a new installation piece, Evolution of the Atmosphere, Van Wagoner transports the viewer back in time to Earth as it was 3.8 billion years ago to witness the events that added oxygen to the atmosphere. Eocene Prophesies, a ceramic wall mural takes us back about 55 million years to the last great thermal maximum. Uneasy Flight, a life-sized figurative sculpture, is a commentary on the

evolution of flight from the soaring dinosaurs, to birds, to fighter jets. Other pieces are more personal stories of life, death, and adventures.  Van Wagoner’s work is bold and earthy with a style that integrates realism and abstraction, because, says Van Wagoner, “that is the way life is.” Her pieces display the flexibility and versatility of the material, with an emphasis on the sculptural form and human gesture. Field guides included with some of the pieces are an interesting innovation that engages the viewer with the works on display. Wilson House Gallery is located at 115 Tranquille Road and is open Monday to Friday from 1:00 to 5:00pm.

Sagebrush showcase concerts feature KISSM young talent

The annual KISSM concerts are coming very soon. On July 22 at 7:00pm the strings and piano performance will happen at St Andrews Presbyterian Church located at 1136 6th Avenue. On July 23 the showcase concerts take place at Sagebrush Theatre starting at 7:00pm. Come out and watch the kids

perform. This performance will include KISSM bands, choirs, percussion groups and more. On July 24 enjoy the musical theatre production Drowsy Chaperone at the Sagebrush Theatre at 7:00pm. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and he puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious

1928 musical. The recording comes to life and the Drowsy Chaperone begins, as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not so bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone,

and you’ve got a show soup dense with delicious delight! The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterfully meta musical. Sending up all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre, simply reading the dialogue alone inspires countless smiles and laughter.

KYSA Scholarship recipients The nine recipients of a 2014 Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) Scholarship Award have been announced. The KYSA and its sponsors combine to offer $500 one-time scholarships on an annual basis. The recipients and the schools they attend are Tatjana Stone (Norkam), Kyle Freudenberger (Valleyview), Briana Guise (NorKam), Cole Hooper (Sa-Hali), Jalees Jaswal (Sa-Hali), Rachel Cantin (NorKam), Jimmy Dobrovolny (SaHali), Emma McLeod (Valleyview)

and Ian Cairns (South Kamloops). The KYSA Scholarship Awards Selection Committee chose the nine 2014 recipients based on a variety of criteria, such as the applicant’s participation in school activities, leadership qualities, sportsmanship and time spent volunteering in church or community organizations. Soccer talent is just one of the yardsticks the selectors used to determine the award recipients. A candidate’s contributions as a referee, coach or manager in the KYSA was also taken into consideration.

Kamloops All-Stars defeated

Edmonton FC showed their strength and superior soccer skills in a comfortable five to one victory over the Kamloops Men’s AllStars last weekend at McArthur Island. The match pitted a full roster of professional players on Edmonton’s squad against a team drawn together of the best amateur play-

ers in Kamloops. A crowd of about 300 local soccer fans took in the game and got to see just what it takes to play the game at the professional level in North America. The game marked the first of several events the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association is planning this year to celebrate its 50th Anniversary.
