A WATER PARK FOR WESTSYDE, better trails and sidewalks and more moun-tain-biking trails were on the publics wish-list as Kamloops kicked off its first round of community budget consultations at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

The session, which covered the parks, recreation and cultural services budget for 2013, is the first of three evening meetings at which the public can ask questions of staff and council and share suggestions for projects they would like to see.

About 50 people showed up for the meeting, not counting media and city staff. The turnout is down from last year, when just over 70 people attended the first information session.

Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told the crowd his department is asking for an extra $4.65 per household in property taxes this year or about $500,000. The parks bud-get is more than $25 million overall, $18 million of which comes from property taxes.

Projects for the year include the development of Aberdeens West Highlands Park, a park in Mount Dufferin and new playground equipment in Prince Charles Park in downtown Kamloops.

A $300,000 water park in Westsyde is also on the list but, its one of the items council will have to sign off on or axe in April.

Several Westsyders used the meeting to make a

pitch for the project.Its been talked about for about three years now,

said Robert Kelly, former president of the Westsyde Community Development Society, which has commit-ted to paying for 10 per cent of the project.

If the price tag for the full park is too much this year, Kelly suggested the city consider going ahead with only the first phase installing washrooms and change rooms in the park.

That would carve that budget almost by half, he said.

Scott Redgrove said the water park would keep Westsyders in their community, cutting down on car travel and greenhouse-gas emissions from the neigh-bourhood.

I think it should be seen as an investment, rather than a cost, he said.

Twenty-year-old Cody Chambers, the youngest person to lob a question at council, said he wants to see the city put more energy into mountain biking.

Kamloops should embrace it because its getting really big and Kamloops is really renowned for it, he said. Ive met riders that come from France and South American to ride here.

But, he added, the sports boom is leading to envi-ronmental damage as riders venture onto private prop-erty or head into sensitive areas. He wants to see the city fund more trail creation and management.

McCorkell said the city is looking to create more mountain-biking trails in the new West Highlands Park.

He said the city also has an extensive network mapped out, but as yet uncreated, in the Lac Le Jeune area, but will need to see the mountain-biking com-munity rally around the project if it wants to get it off the ground.

Other ideas pitched at the meeting included: Better connections between city trails, partnering with the Tkemlups Indian Band to create a new skating arena on band land, a pedestrian bridge between Westsyde and Rayleigh and selling Interior Savings Centre to fund the creation of a new performing-arts centre.

Public consultation on the 2013 budget continues on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. at ISC, with the public-works department on the agenda.

THE $25-MILLION QUESTIONThe parks, recreation and cultural services department eats up a large part of the citys annual budget. Taxpayers fund it to the tune of about $18 million per year.

Where and how should that money be spent?

For two competitors going head-to-head in the race for leadership of the federal Liberal party, Martha Hall Findlay and Karen McCrimmon agree an awful lot.

Talking the cost of purchasing and main-taining a squad of F-35 fighter planes which the federal government has backed away from since it was pegged at about $45 billion the two practically finish each others sentences.

I dont know when Canada became a stealth-fighting attack country, said Hall Findlay, who served as an MP in Torontos Willowdale riding before losing the seat in the 2011 election and who ran unsuccessfully for party leadership in 2006.

McCrimmon, a retired lieutenant-colonel and the first female commander of a Canadian Forces air squadron, chimed in that she doesnt feel the plane is the right fit for the Canadian military.

For one thing, she would prefer something with a second engine.

Id like some redun-dancy in my electrical system as well. Id like an airplane thats com-patible with air-to-air refueling. Id like an airplane that can get

into some of the shorter strips in the Arctic and the F-35 can do none of that, she said.

Isnt it ever great that she knows this stuff? Hall Findlay said with a grin, pulling her competitor into a one-armed hug.

Both women also envision a more inclu-sive Liberal party that creates equal opportuni-ties for Canadians.

McCrimmon cham-pions social housing while Hall Findlay stumps for universal day care.

Both are calling

for curbs to what Hall Findlay calls the Conservative govern-ments borrow and spend habits.

However, on some issues, they do differ in approach.

On the subject of fellow candidate Justin Trudeau who drew a crowd of 600 in Kamloops earlier this week and is consid-ered the favourite to win the Liberal Party of Canada leadership on April 14 in Ottawa McCrimmon tends toward diplomacy.

All of the candi-

dates, they are a stellar group of people.

But, we all have our own individual set of competencies and expe-riences and strength and skills, she said.

With the leader-ship vote open to any Canadian with-out a membership in another federal party, McCrimmon estimates about 23-million people can cast a ballot.

Canadians have to decide which set is the set we need right now, she said.

Thats it.Hall Findlay is more

blunt in her assessment.How many people

do you think would have come if Justin Bieber had shown up? she asked, referencing Trudeaus Kamloops event.

Im sorry actu-ally, Im not sorry.

This is a fact we are facing in this leadership race.

Substance, experi-ence, intelligence and courage not celeb-rity.

Justin has all sorts of other qualities but, when you look at the substance and experi-

ence and background of some of the other candidates . . . you want that stuff.

Hall Findlay and McCrimmon are two of nine candidates in the field to become the Liberal partys new leader.

In addition to Trudeau, candidates David Bertschi and Deborah Coyne have both made previous stops in Kamloops.

The remaining candidates are Joyce Murray, Marc Garneau, Martin Cauchon and George Takach.

Snow RemovalNotesBudget MeetingsCouncil Calendar

Kamloops has received above average snowfall this winter, and the large snow piles and windrows have made our residential streets quite narrow. When setting out your recycling and garbage for curbside collection, carts should be placed as close as possible to the traveled portion of the roadway, but not in the line of traffic.

Carts are to be set 1 m away from obstacles such as vehicles and snow banks with at least an arms length of space between them. Customers serviced in lanes must keep the area around the carts clear of snow and ice.

Following these guidelines will allow for less congestion and safer more efficient collection.

Some reminders about snow removal: Arterial Roads : Roads like Fortune Drive, Columbia Street and the Summit Connec-tor carry the highest volume of traffic and are the first to receive attention.

Collectors and Bus Routes: Dallas Drive, Springhill Drive and Ord Road are examples of roads that receive second priority during and after storms.

Residential Streets: Our goal is to sand or plow residential streets as necessary within 36 hours of the end of a storm.

Sidewalks and Driveways: City crews strive to plow snow off roadways without placing it onto sidewalks, but this still sometimes happens. It is the responsibility of homeowners to clear snow off sidewalks adjacent to their property, and to clear the windrow at the end of their driveway.

Snow and Waste Removal

Make sure your carts are set 1m away from snow banks.

LOCAL NEWS

Kamloops will spend an extra $600,000 upgrading a portion of the sanitary-sewer system that led to a weeklong shutdown of Mission Flats Road when it collapsed in 2011.

In the summer of that year, one of two trunk mains leading to the main sewage-pumping station on the South Shore collapsed, forcing the city to pump liquid waste into a pool at the Domtar pulp mill and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on emergency repairs.

Tracy Kyle, the citys new public-works director, told city council the collapse is now believed to be the result of corrosion from sewer gasses. Typically, the pipe should last 75 years. In this case, it failed after 41 years.

Kyle said the cost of the project is increas-ing because the city has since discovered other sections of piping leading to the pumping plant are also structur-ally compromised.

To try to prevent the pipe from failing again, the city plans to use PVC pipe in place of concrete and use corro-sion-resistant additives in construction.

Funds for the proj-ect, which has a cost of $1.2 million, are com-ing from another sew-age-treatment project, which is being pushed back to 2014.

Council gives nod to some capital projects

With final approval of the 2013 budget still several months away, city council has given early approval to $14-million in capital projects.

Kyle said the items on the early approval list are projects that are time- or weather-sensi-tive, or orders for tools and equipment that will take months to ship to the city.

Items on the list, which represents slight-ly less than half of the citys capital budget, include a replacement fire engine ($685,000), $300,000 for bike paths and $85,000 for field

improvements, which need to be completed before the spring sports season begins.

Mayor Peter Milobar said early approval still leaves council with plenty of money to move around as it deliberates the rest of its 2013 budget.

Im comfortable approving it because these are all things we need to do for citities. Its road repair, its rail crossings, its equip-ment, he said.

I can understand the angst around feel-ing this is outside of the budget cycle but, unless we were planning to not spend a dollar next year, this is stuff that has to be done.

Where and when with washrooms?

Kamloops city coun-cillors are pushing for more family washrooms in city parks, but the

process is hitting a safety snag.

Parks, recreation and cultural services direc-tor Byron McCorkell told council that, in 2013, the city will only install family washrooms in parks and facilities where no new construction will have to be done. That leaves major parks like Riverside without family washrooms for another year.

McCorkell said Kamloops RCMP are concerned gender-neutral washrooms pose a safety risk.

You have a park, large, you have a build-ing thats alone and locked and you have an opportunity for an indi-vidual to hide in there and cause a problem, he said.

McCorkell said fam-ily washrooms arent a problem in venues like the Tournament Capital Centre, which, unlike

parks, has security cam-eras, staff and plenty of people around.

Councillors Marg Spina and Nancy Bepple asked staff to take a harder look at how to solve the prob-lem, noting they would be willing to spend more money on bath-room upgrades this year if the city can come to a solution.

I would rather deal with the issue sooner than later and, yes, it might be difficult to find a solution, but not impossible, said Bepple, adding wash-rooms are needed by park users with mobility issues and those who have opposite-gender caretakers, as well as families.

If our handicapped population cannot go to park events because they cannot use a wash-room, thats a big defi-cit in the city, Spina said.

A report on the issue will come to council later this year.

His audience may have been significantly smaller, but David Bertschi isnt cowed by the response fellow Liberal Party of Canada leadership candidate Justin Trudeau is experi-encing.

The day after Trudeau drew a crowd of about 600 to Thompson Rivers University, Bertschi met on Tuesday, Jan. 22, with a handful of party faithful at Red Beard Roaster, a North Kamloops coffee shop where the questions came at him fast.

Bertschi, a Crown lawyer who ran unsuc-cessfully in his Ottawa-Orleans riding in the 2011 federal election, described himself as the candidate not being supported by the party establishment but he is undeterred in his campaign.

Im a pragmatic ideologue, he said, and weve got to do whats right.

I dont believe in the culture of celebrity. Im bucking the trend because people want sub-stance.

And, doing things right under a Bertschi leadership would include ensuring food security through tax incentives, ensuring producers are well-equipped, providing retraining when neces-sary and not dismantling farm quotas that regulate supply management, as has been promoted by fellow candidate Martha

Hall Findlay.Promoting muscular

peacekeeping would be right under a Bertschi leadership, he said, recognizing the reputa-tion Canada received in that field when Lester Pearson was prime min-ister.

Canada would also need to address todays war realities, he said.

Del Turner chal-lenged Bertschi during the coffee-shop question period telling him, If you ask a person on the street what the Liberals stand for, they cant tell you and neither can most Liberals.

Bertschi agreed the party needs to take stands and tell Canadians what those positions are, even if they wont be popular with the media.

Donna Marchand, wife of former federal Liberal cabinet minister Len Marchand, told Bertschi she is concerned no candidate is talking about arts and culture.

Bertschis response included the need to invest in and promote

the arts, but he took a swipe at the Conservative governments way of addressing the issue, which he said involves starving out groups that dont fit with their ideol-ogy.

Asked why he is opposed to uniting the left side of the political spectrum, much as the Reform and Progressive Conservatives did to the right, Bertschi said his party and the NDP have totally different perspec-tives.

The Liberals stand for a strong, healthy economy with fair taxes and a structure designed to help people reach their full potential, he said.

The party also has an economic history, some-thing the NDP does not.

The NDP believes

government should be into everything, he said, and I dont believe money will solve all our problems.

If he is unsuccessful in his leadership bid, Bertschi said that wont end his political career.

He plans to seek his partys nomination in the next federal election, slated for Oct. 19, 2015. And, if he wins he lost to the Conservative incumbent in the 2011 federal election by 3,837 votes he has no eye on any seat in a Liberal cabinet, should his party also be successful.

Thats not why Im running. Ive never even thought of that, Bertschi said.

This is about Canada. Its about what Pearson stood for.

Omnibus bills must be limited

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

If the federal Conservative gov-ernment hasnt already thought about its penchant for omnibus bills in Parliament, it needs to.

The Idle No More movement has focused some of its attention on changes to federal legislation like the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Environmental Assessment Act that are rolled into an omnibus bill. These bills, often part of a bud-get, give MPs little chance to debate important issues because there are so many items jammed together.

The Conservatives did not invent this strategy, but they have honed it to a fine art. Omnibus bills began

appearing regularly dur-ing the five years the Conservatives governed with a minority and were often crafted in such

a way as to keep at least one opposi-tion party from voting against the government.

While this was an understandable legislative strategy, the need for such omnibus bills does not exist when there is a majority government.

But, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes the approach because it limits the use-fulness of Parliament and the ability of critics to draw public attention.

That worked fine when the crit-ics were solely from the opposition parties but, when they are from outside Parliament and are energized by a variety of causes, as is Idle No More, omnibus bills have the poten-tial to do a great deal of harm.

The harm comes from emas-culating legitimate opposition in Parliament, where differences within a democracy need to be discussed.

If too many people believe Parliament doesnt work any more, and this leads them to do seri-ous damage to Canadas economy because of their frustrations, omni-bus bills become very dangerous.

The Conservative government has nothing to fear from its opponents in Parliament. It has a majority and it should be ready and willing to hear criticism of its plans within an elected assembly.

The prime minister would serve the interests of all Canadians if he pledged to restrict or even eliminate omnibus bills for the remainder of this Parliaments term.

The federal government needs to choose a path which is working towards positive change on all types of issues.

Hes cute and has the name, but Justin doesnt have itI DONT LIKE COVERING POLITICS.Theres no real reason other than its like stepping through the looking glass into some bizarre world where the rules are skewed, the characters are stereotypes and the script is constantly being rewritten.

To find someone in or seeking public office who truly inspires is a rare thing these days.

Justin Trudeau doesnt have it. Hes a cute guy with an iconic

name, but hes not his dad.He doesnt have it.Im not sure any of the nine now

running for the federal Liberal lead-ers job has it, either.

It is a hard thing to define. Donna Marchand, wife of Len

Marchand and no stranger to the realities of politics herself, told a story about Donald McDonald, holder of several portfolios during the Pierre Trudeau years.

The federal Liberal party at the time was about to start the long path to finding a new leader and Donna asked McDonald why he didnt add his name to the list of prospects.

He could never do it, Donna recalled him saying. He didnt have enough royal jelly.

Thats as close a definition of it as any Ive heard.

Her own husband entered politics after hearing Lester Pearson speak, Donna said.

The speech was more than inspir-ing; it touched something inside Len and made him feel like he needed to become part of the vision of Canada Pearson saw and was sharing

with all Canadians.Others sitting at the table with us

shared similar moments when they heard a politician speak Paul Martins name was mentioned more than once and felt it.

For me, it was embodied in the then-politician Stephen Lewis.

If you think he is inspirational now as head of his AIDS-fighting foundation in Africa, you should have heard him back then, when he was head of the NDP in Ontario.

He could make you want to help him fulfil his vision.

He had it.Cesar Chavez was a politician

outside of the political realm, but he also had it.

He didnt need flourishes in his speech or even talking points, for that matter.

He simply gave his message of fairness for farm workers in the United States and you believed in his cause.

He had it. Liquid-diet-consuming First

Nations protester Theresa Spence does not.

Her cause may, but she doesnt.Looking around British Columbia,

there arent many politicians out there who have it.

Christy Clark certainly doesnt. Shes too tightly wound and con-trolled to ever really let us see what it is inside her that inspires her.

We just get to see what drives her.Adrian Dix wants to have it, but

doesnt. Theres a lesson in Donnas obser-

vation about her husband, one that might explain why young people today dont view the right to vote the same way my generation did at the same age.

Politicians today havent given them it yet.

They havent given them some-one who, with honest, sincere words, breaks through that Twitter-Facebook-MP3-Smartphone mental-ity and grabs them.

Someone who makes them think oh-my-god-I-believe, not Oh. My. God.

They give them sound bites and photo ops and arent-I-cool-Im-on-Facebook press releases.

They speak with one eye on their communications people and the other on the media, praying the story in the paper tomorrow does more than spell their names right.

Politicians with it dont care about that.

They know the message is what matters and, when it grabs a person by the heart, it succeeds.

Re: Story: Canine issue wont release bite on city council:

I, for one, am sick of this dog issue.

It is bad enough that we have to listen to one dog bark all day because their own-ers leave them outside while they are off to work, never mind two and three dogs.

Why doesnt coun-cil stick to the bylaws?

Two is bad enough, but three? Damn bleed-ing hearts!

Editor:After reading the Jan. 8 KTW article

(Alzheimers walk honours caregivers) pre-viewing this months Investors Group Walk for Memories in Kamloops, we felt there is an opportunity to enhance your readers understanding about our story.

When I was first approached by the Alzheimer Society to share my personal experience on living with Alzheimers disease from a caregivers perspective, I thought my participation would help others understand what it was like to take care of someone with the disease and how it affects everyone involved.

Alzheimers disease does not just affect the person with the diagnosis. It affects entire families.

Each person involved in the life of the person with dementia is grieving, adapting and coping with changes and losses.

Each person is doing the best they can with what theyve got.

The reality of this for our children and grandchildren is that, as we grow, our par-ents are our caregivers. They teach us, help us, care for us and are concerned for our well-being.

It is a transition and role reversal when we become caregivers for our parents, as my daughters and grandchildren are finding out.

It took immense courage for my daugh-

ter, Nicole, to speak publicly through Kamloops This Week about her experience as an adult on this journey with her dad and me.

Can you imagine teaching your parent something he or she had once showed you how to do?

This is one of the many personal and personally profound experiences Nicole experiences with her father.

It is even more difficult to accept when your father is still so young and you had pictured many more years together in a very different way.

For those familiar with this disease, you will know a person with Alzheimers dis-ease unlearns things they have known their entire life.

They forget the familiar. As well, you also learn you cannot argue

with a person, which may not have been clear in the reference to the Christmas lights in the article.

The brain of a person who has this ill-ness is not capable of rationalizing, under-standing or applying logic.

Their reality is the only one they are capable of understanding and, sometimes, there is a very large gap between their real-ity and ours.

It forces us to monitor our own behav-iours and continually adapt and try every moment to be patient and understanding

about what this disease is doing to this person.

It is changing who they are and the real-ity or world they live in inside their heads.

With this being Alzheimers Awareness Month and the campaign message being See Me, Not My Disease, I felt it was important to talk about this disease, how it affects families and how the stigma associ-ated with dementia prevents those who have the illness from sharing their stories and being taken seriously.

I watch my husbands health deteriorate with this disease and, even though I cannot change the progression of his illness, I hope to work toward lessening the stigma and stereotypes by sharing our experiences.

Awareness dispels misconceptions. Lets arm ourselves with information

that will contribute to those affected to help them continue to maintain relationships and social activities and have a better quality of life.

What better way to do this than by attending the Investors Group Walk For Memories on Jan. 27.

Our family team, Popas Crew, will be at the Tournament Capital Centre to honour our husband, father and grandfather, Tim.

For more information on the event, go online to walkformemories.com.

THE NORTH SHORE BUSINESS Improvement Association is gear-ing up for an exciting 2013.

First order of busi-ness is the process of hiring a new manager, with the help and pro-fessional guidance of Jeremy from WOW Leadership.

However, this pro-cess has not slowed down business at the BIA office.

To end 2012, we had an amazing Christmas light-up arranged by members of the board of direc-tors, BIA staff and many community part-ners.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who participated and attended the event as it was our best attended event of the year.

Kudos to all.Last year also

brought plenty of new and exciting enhancements to our neighbourhoods.

New developments along the Tranquille Market are now look-ing to attract profes-sional businesses.

If you havent driv-en down Eighth Street recently, you defi-nitely should as it has received a facelift from the business commu-nity and looks great

The biggest and most comprehensive work the NSBIA was involved in during 2012 was the light-ing project for the Tranquille Market.

With the hard work and dedication of some fabulous people in the City of Kamloops planning department, and the most amazing group of volunteers on the BIA planning and development commit-tee, this long-awaited

project is approved and underway.

With 2013 now upon us, the NSBIA calendar is filling up with some very excit-ing events.

Here are some things to look forward to this year:

February AGM with a combined meet-and-greet for our new manager and the elec-tion of a new board of directors.

This is a great time to come and have your voice heard or to join as a director or as a member of the market-ing or planning and development commit-tees.

The NSBIAs five-year mandated renewal will be a busy time for the new manager, staff and board of directors as we prepare to enter into another renewal process.

The Biggest Sale Event is once again planned for the fall.

The Planning and development commit-tee is looking forward to working once again with the city and com-munity partners on North Shore projects, such as work being done at the corner of corner of Fortune Drive and Leigh Road.

The committee is also looking for-ward to working with Kamloops Airport, city staff, business own-ers and community partners on the airport corridor.

The North Shore Business Improvement Association depends on our business com-munity for its suc-cesses.

Whether it is sup-porting an event, shop-ping close to home or getting involved as a community partner, we would like to thank you for your past sup-port and look forward to an exciting 2013.

Gearing up for a successful 2013

AJAX COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

The KGHM International Ajax Project team deeply appreciates you taking the time to come and meet us on January 15 and 16. Some of you came to learn about us and offer your support; some of you came to voice your concerns or objections; all of you came because you care about your familys health and welfare, the homes you value, your livelihoods and opportunities to succeed, and the community you call home.

We came to tell you we are a responsible mine operator with a wealth of experience and a solid track record of safe and successful operations throughout the world. One of our core values is Zero Harm, which means the health, safety and well-being of our employees, the members of our communities and the environment are always at the forefront of every action we take and every decision we make. We believe that in the months and years to come our actions will demonstrate we are deserving of your trust.

Many of your questions are very specific and you have been waiting for some time for answers. We will provide you with

these answers as soon as all of our studies are finalized and weve submitted our Environmental Assessment Application. It is not our intent to withhold or delay any of this information and we are determined to present you with the most thorough, accurate and complete material available as we move through the Environmental Assessment process.

We want to be good neighbours and true partners who will contribute not only to the economy of Kamloops but to the spirit of this vibrant community through our active involvement in activities that support education and training, health, sports and the arts. You will see us at various community events and public locations, seeking your opinion on the best ways in which we can make a positive contribution to this community.

Many of your concerns are our concerns too. We are here to listen, so please continue to call, email or drop by with your questions. Our commitment to you is that we will develop and maintain open communication channels and bring you the information you need to be better informed about this project, in a timely and transparent manner.

Once again, thank you for allowing us to host you.

With respect, KGHM International Ajax Project Management Team

LOCAL NEWS

Kamloops firefight-ers will continue to chip in on major blazes in Merritt, Sun Peaks and Rivershore Estates.

Kamloops city council has agreed to renew a fire protection agreement between

Kamloops Fire Rescue and the three commu-nities.

The agreement allows the com-munities to call on Kamloops Fire Rescue for help in battling structural fires.

Local fire response teams must already be on the scene, and the department has the right to decline requests if they dont

have the firefighters to send out.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz said in the past 10 years, the depart-

ment has been called to five fires under the agreement two in Sun Peaks, two in Rivershore and one in Merritt.

A team of students from Sa-Hali secondary finished seventh in its category at the recent 15th annual Junior Achievement B.C. Business Challenge.

Twenty-one teams took part in the compe-tition, which sees teams create virtual companies and work through steps, including financial reporting and analysis, competition, product management and devel-oping management strategies.

Students played two of the business games between 8:15 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

The winning team received a $100 bursary

and was entered into the JA Global Business Challenge.

Sa-Hali was in the entrepreneurs market

segment designed for less-experience stu-dents.

The winner was Lambrick Park second-

ary from Victoria.West Point Grey

Academy of Vancouver won in the titan market designed for more-

experienced students. Georges P. Vanier

secondary from Courtenay won in the executive market designed for intermedi-ate students.

Students taking part are in grades 11 and 12 and have been participants in the JA Titan Business Game, an interactive online program that simulates real business situations for students to work through.

The challenge took place in Vancouver and included a speech by Michael McCarthy, vice-president of small and medium business in B.C. for Telus.
