Your municipality can be a daunting place. It is like that catchy song from Sesame Street growing up, “These are the people in your neigh-bourhood.” The problem isn’t who are the people in your neighbourhood, it is who do you call in your neighbourhood when you have a suggestion, complaint or observation?

Adam Chadwick, GIS Manager for the City of Kamloops was more than thrilled to be able to talk about the new MyKam-loops App that is available for all the ma-jor Smartphone platforms. The new app has revolutionized the way issues can be handled and dealt with at the city level and he can’t wait for everyone to start using it.

“I discovered it at a conference,” explains Adam. “We are one of the first in Canada and the first in BC to implement it. It has been running six weeks now in a produc-tion environment and it is going great. All the feedback has been extremely positive.”

The app allows you to record and report issues at a city level. If you see a pothole in the road, report it. If you see a slide in a park painted with graffiti, snap a picture. Your smartphone takes a photo and then logs its location on a map via GPS. This eliminates the confusion of where you saw the problem and helps the city under-stand exactly what the issue is. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words! The issue then gets logged, tagged and dealt with. You will even get an up-date on its progress.

“We have had some real good issues re-ported,” continues Adam. “The whole idea was to make it simpler to report issues. The

sooner an issue gets reported, the quicker we can react to it. It is about re-ducing costs and providing great customer service.”

Adam is not only an advocate of the sys-tem but he himself is a user. He has tagged and reported a broken catch basin on one of his regular walks, a find that he is sure probably saved the city a great deal of money. Another recognizable user is City Councilor Donovan Cavers. Donovan who can be found out and about on bike, foot and bus has also taken advantage of the app to report a few concerns and issues.

“I have tagged at least a dozen is-sues,” explained Donovan. “Issues from signs invisible from sight hidden behind branches, graffiti to tripping hazards. There is even a heavily used fairly nar-row section of sidewalk near TRU that I tagged. Most of the issues have been dealt with quite quickly. It’s amazing! It is a great tool. Before, I would have emailed the director of public works and from there they would have had to delegate the issue to the right person. This definitely streamlines that process and makes the response to the issue much faster.”

This MyKamloops App has given every Smartphone owner in Kamloops a voice within the walls of City Hall. Download the app from your phone’s marketplace and start logging your issues. Whether it is a pothole, a suggestion of where you would like to see a stop sign or bike path, a broken sign or what have you, snap a picture, send it in and watch the City take over. Simply search MyKamloops.

As a result of the Government of Canada’s enabling Accessibility Fund, Rainbow’s Roost in Westsyde will increase accessibil-ity for people with disabilities and

enable them to participate more fully in their community.

Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo made the

announcement today on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development,.

“our Government recognizes

the abilities of all Canadians and is committed to removing barriers to participation for people with disabilities,” said McLeod. “We are proud to work with Rainbow’s Roost which is helping Canadians gain greater access to facilities, programs and services in their communities.”

Rainbow’s Roost is receiv-ing $50,000 to improve the road and parking areas of its assembly hall. Through the enabling Accessibility Fund, the Government has supported over 800 projects across the country, including 188 new projects total-ling $6.2 million that were recent-ly announced.

graffiti be gone!

The Graffiti Taskforce recruited a few helpful volunteers and painted out the graffiti on the 444 Tranquille building. It looks like a good time was had by all.Pictured above is Colleen Stainton, Community In Bloom committee member; Councillor Marg Spina and Peter Mutrie, the general manager of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.Pictured at right are Councillors (L-R) Tina Lange and Marg Spina.

Artists: Looking a way to pro-mote your work to new audi-ences? or perhaps you want to share your artwork with the community, but you’re not quite ready for a full-scale gallery exhibition?

The North Shore Artwalk gives artists the chance to share, show and even sell their work through local retailers. Application dead-line for artists and retailers is July 13. Participating in the Artwalk is free for KAC members (mem-bership is $30 per year). For more details and to apply, visit www.kamloopsarts.ca.

“The Artwalk has been great for me,” says local artist Sylvia Weedmark, who has had much

success with her handpainted stepping stones in shop win-dows. “My work was very well received. [Artwalk] opened up a new area of the Kamloops mar-ket to me.”

This year’s North Shore Artwalk takes place August 3 to September 3, with a kick-off event on Saturday, August 11 at Northills Centre that features art-ist demos, family fun and more.

The North Shore Artwalk part-ners local businesses with artists, providing a unique self-guided experience to customers, visi-tors and the general public. It’s a wonderful opportunity for artists to promote their work in highly visible venues and for businesses

to increase traffic and show their support for the arts.

Businesses interested in host-ing artwork can download the application form from www.kamloopsarts.ca. There is a small application fee for busi-nesses to cover basic costs. Participating retailers receive recognition on printed Artwalk maps that will be distributed throughout the city.

The Kamloops Arts Council’s North Shore Artwalk – a partnership with the North Shore Business Improvement Association – is sponsored by BC Arts Council, City of Kamloops, PCT, The echo and Northills Centre.

With declining river levels, the City of Kamloops opened the McArthur Island boat launch on Thursday, July 5. The Pioneer Park and Thompson Drive boat launch-es remain closed while the river closure from the North and South Thompson Rivers confluence east to Lafarge is in effect. Boat-ers are asked to take care while on the rivers and use extreme caution and courtesy to avoid wake dam-age and property erosion. Boaters and recreational watercraft users are advised to stay off the South Thompson River where the river closure remains. Residents should also be aware that lifeguards are currently not stationed at Riverside Park due to unsafe swimming con-ditions and fencing limiting access.

Residents are reminded that be-ginning the week of July 9, the City of Kamloops is offering sand-bag pick up for residents. Similar to garbage collection, residents must place the sandbags in the same curbside location where they would typically place their gar-bage containers. Sandbags will be picked up the business day fol-lowing regular scheduled garbage collection. All sandbags must be placed at the curbside location by 7:00 a.m. the day of the sandbag pick up.

Alternatively, residents may drop sandbags off at the Mission Flats or Barnhartvale landfills at no charge. Where sandbags have not been picked up after five business days, call Public Works at 250-828-3461.

Goats munch away weed problemKamloops is about to get a new type of gardener, of the four-legged variety. As part

of an invasive weed control project, the City of Kamloops has commissioned Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control to bring in a herd of goats to eat away problem plants.

The goats, which arrived in Kamloops on July 9, will be helping to control noxious weeds, specifically toadflax, in areas that are difficult to manage by hand-pulling, mowing or herbicides due to topography, vicinity to water, and size. For this season, the City will run this as a pilot project in Kenna Cartwright Park, in anticipation of expanding into other natural areas in the future.

Conrad and Donna Lindblom have brought approximately 1,000 goats in their herd, consisting of Boer-saanen, Spanish, Nubian and Kiko goats. They brought a full crew–trailers, horses and herd dogs–with them to Kamloops for the project.

Interior Health is expand-ing its use of voice recog-nition technology for phy-sician reports at its hos-pitals. The new software translates spoken words into text, and will result in both cost savings and quicker report turnaround times.

“This technology will allow Interior Health to meet the ever increasing demand for transcription services, while taking advantage of technology that will result in improved turnaround time for vital patient care information,” says Interior Health board chair Norman embree.

Voice recognition tech-nology, also known as “automatic speech rec-ognition”, “ASR”, “com-puter speech recognition”, “speech to text”, or just “STT”, allows patient information to be avail-able at different points of care more quickly and effi-ciently. This is particularly important in cases when time is of the essence and multiple care providers are involved, such as trauma patients or those who are critically ill.

The process for physi-

cians dictating notes remains unchanged — the improvements hap-pen behind the scene. Traditionally, once a phy-sician finishes dictating their notes an audio file is sent to a transcriptionist, who listens to the record-ing and types up the report. The turnaround time for this traditional transcrip-tion service varies from

about 24 to 72 hours. With voice recognition technol-ogy that time is expected to improve by 30 percent.

Interior Health success-fully implemented voice recognition technology to support physicians in Diagnostic Imaging in spring 2011.

Ground work to further expand the technology will commence this month and

the software will be intro-duced at nine locations, starting in September. The locations include: Williams Lake, Kamloops, Trail, Nelson, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Penticton and Cranbrook. Implementation across these sites to support the health authority should be complete by spring 2013.

Over 50 clotheslines already won!Get ready to see clotheslines popping

up in yards all over Kamloops – the Solar Laundry Project is giving them away, and they’ve now put a little sunshine in the shorts of more than 50 winners!

The winners of the June 30 draw are: Merrilyn Pennanen, Florence Tellier, Sharon Gloyn, elaine Roste, Hennie Shimizu, Rebecca Mutch, Cheryl Austin, Barbara Chudrick, Diane Matus, elaine Mayrhofer, Susan McIntyre and Lynda Thompson. In addition, four lucky visitors to the BCSeA booth at Canada Day also became proud new clothesline owners: Congratulations to Lindy Dester, Velvet Woods, Ravi Atwal and Betty Tasko.

If you haven’t entered the draw yet, there are just two more draws to be done, so hurry up! Here’s the link: www.bcsea.org/kamloops. The last draw is July 14.

To maximize the energy you save while doing laundry, use cold water. By switching from hot to cold water for an

average of three loads per week, you could save up to $27 per year on your energy bill. Unlike dishwashers, wash-ing machines can wash with great results in cold water. In fact, most fabrics last longer and fade less when washed cold and hung to dry. Great for your clothes and great for your wallet too.

Check out www.bchydro.com/powers-mart for more ways to save energy.

The BC Sustainable energy Association is a non-profit organization that works with British Columbians to build a clean, renewable energy future. To learn more about it, please visit www.bcsea.org. The Kamloops Chapter would like to acknowledge the generous support of BC Hydro Power Smart and Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre for this project.

NoRTH SHoRe eCHo July 11, 2012 n 5 Business profile

We are so excited about the first ever Cost Savers auction happen-ing this upcoming Sunday, July 15 at the popular North Shore thrift store. Cost Savers moved to their Royal Avenue home last year and have been so successful that have decided to kick off summer with an old fashioned auction!

“We are hoping to hold an auc-tion four times a year,” explains Terralee Koenig, owner and op-erator of the store. “In the past year we have bought five dif-ferent floors of hotels as well as bought from a whole bunch of auctions ourselves. our storage facility is jam packed so it is time to hold an auction ourselves to make some room so we can go treasure hunting again!”

In addition to hotel sell-offs, collectibles and more, the store will be auctioning off some con-signment lots and furniture. Ter-ralee says they probably have a lot of just about everything any-one collects.

“The public can come out and view all the items all day Satur-day, July 14 and the morning of Sunday, July 15,” continues Ter-ralee. “The auction itself will start at 1pm on Sunday, July 15. We estimate the entire auction will take two and a half hours.”

The auction itself is simple. Come to the store, register for a number and bid on whichever lots you like. The lots will be pre-sented one by one and will go to highest bidder.

“There is something for ev-eryone,” she finishes. “We have comics, china, vintage items and much more. More than 100 box-es and still adding to it including collectibles like blue glass, china

dolls, Barbie dolls and more.”Stop by Cost Savers to check

out one of the most exciting things to hit the North Shore. Cost Savers is located along the Tranquille Market in the big, bright and beautiful space at 185 Royal Avenue across from Robo. The thrift store has gone through a lot of changes since Terralee Koenig took over took over the store in June of 2008 and is con-tinuing to improve each day. The auction will not interrupt nor-mal business except for Sunday, July 15 when it will only be open to auction visitors. You can get more information from the store at 250-376-3361.

Catch and Release - A conser-vation motion that happens most often right before the local Fish and Game officer pulls over a boat that has caught over it’s limit.

Hook - (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A clever advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his life sav-ings on a new rod and reel. (3) The punch administered by said fisherman’s wife after he spends their life savings (see also, Right Hook, Left Hook).

Line - Something you give your co-workers when they ask on Monday how your fishing went the past weekend.

Lure - An object that is semi-enticing to fish, but will drive an angler into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card to the limit before exiting the tackle shop.

Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when dropped overboard.

Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.

School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your $29.99 lures and hold out for spam instead.

Tackle - What your last catch

did to you as you reeled him in, but just before he wrestled free and jumped back overboard.

Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehen-sive first aid kit. only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so that when you reach in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid,

you soon find that you need more than one.

Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an angler when fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A mea-sure of your creativity in blaming “that darn line” for once again losing the fish.

An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had ham-mered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy, which required the first officer to stand at the door while the pas-sengers exited, give a smile, and a “Thanks for flying XYZ airline.”

He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time look-ing the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment, but no one seemed annoyed. Finally everyone had gotten off except for one little old lady walking with a cane. She approached and asked, conspiratorially, “Sonny, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Why no ma’am, what is it?” “Did we land, or were we shot down?”

A husband and wife are trav-eling by car from Atlanta to New York. After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they are too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest.

They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it’s a nice hotel, the rooms cer-tainly aren’t worth $350.

When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the man-ager. The manager listens to the man and then explains the hotel has an olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband

and wife to use. He also explains they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “The best entertain-ers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here,” explains the manager.

No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man replies, “But we didn’t use it!” The manager is unmoved and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the manager.

The manager is surprised when he looks at the check. “But sir,” he says, “This cheque is only made out for $100.”

“That’s right,” says the man. “I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife.”

“But I didn’t!” exclaims the manager.

“Well,” the man replies, “she was here, and you could have.”

double Victory for derby dollsSaturday, June 23 marked the

first ever double-header roller derby bout in Kamloops and it was a smashing, crashing success!

First onto the track, the crowd cheered and welcomed the TCDD Rookies, most of whom had never bouted before. Their opponents for the night were Quesnel’s Gold Pain City Derby Girls. The whis-tle blew and the Rookies got off to a great start, taking the lead and maintaining it the entire way through to win the game 169 to 88.

enthusiastic fans cheered on as the second bout got underway, with the Derby Doll Veteran team taking on the Candy Strykers from Armstrong, a team they had taken on twice before but with no wins. The Vets played hard, executing precision hits and building strong walls to hold back the oppos-ing jammers, and their strategies

proved successful with the Dolls winning the bout 159 to 85.

Derby season is about to come to an end, and for the Dolls’ fina-le, they are putting on “Saturday Night Lights”, their final home double-header, Saturday, July 14 at the McArthur Island Sports Centre. Doors open at 5pm and the first game starts at 6pm. Tickets are $15 in advance from your favourite Derby Doll or at the Ruby Room (265 Victoria St), or $20 at the door. Children 10 and under get in for free. New for this bout is group rates- for rates and group sizes, ask for Shannon at the Ruby Room (250-828-7829) or email [email protected].

This bout promises the same action-packed excitement as the last one, with a beer garden, con-cession, 50/50 draws, prizes and giveaways and music by DJ Bri 3.

Safer streets thanks to SCIF grantsKamloops and other nearby communities will be receiving Strategic

Community Investment Fund (SCIF) grants. Funds come from the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program (TFRS) and Small Community and Regional District Grants (SCG). The amount Kamloops will be receiving is $949,822 (TFRS).

With this installment, over $975 million has been invested in the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program and Small Community Regional District Grants since 2001. SCIF grants allow communities to invest in their own priority projects. Small Community and Regional District Grants assist local governments in providing basic services. The Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program helps municipalities that directly pay for police enforce-ment costs. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a municipality receives is based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs. This money will provide additional funding for local policing services and crime prevention programs.

“For smaller communities like Barriere, Sun Peaks and Clearwater, small community grants can mean the difference between maintaining some of their priority projects and dropping them. It’s great to see them receive this funding,” said Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake.
