art comes in all shapes, sizes and forms. it is the creativity of hands, eyes, brains and visions at work. all art does not appeal to everyone but everyone finds art is some form or another appeal-ing. whether it is an abstract view of a church, the patterns on your pure-bred pony or the way some particular piece of pottery makes you happy – it’s all art and it impacts your life positively.

art is not something that is unique about Kamloops. no mat-ter where people fly or go, they tend to gravitate towards art galleries, museums and artisan shows. The only thing that differs between other places and here is the amount and caliber of art that is available to see, hear and view. part of the reason is the amazing amount of work the Kamloops arts Council puts into helping artists show themselves, their work and their craft to the com-munity. one of the ways they accomplish this is through fabu-lous initiatives and programs like artwalk.

starting July 29 and going right until september 5, north shore artwalk will be happening in our neighbourhood. residents, tourists and visitors from all over look forward to touring our local business community and immersing themselves in a myriad of art genres and styles.

“i find the north shore art walk to be an exciting time,” says peter Mutrie, general man-ager of the north shore business improvement association. “it’s a chance to meet with business owners and the arts community at the same time... all creative people. it’s a lovely time of year

with flower beds in bloom, art banners on the light standards and the general public gets to explore up to 30 shops with art works on the Tranquille Market,

which is our commercial core.”This year the arts Council

promises it is going to be bigger than ever with a new start and end point as well as the addition of some of our local quilters from the Cotton picker’s Quilt guild who will be participating and showing their work.

“The Cotton picker’s Quilt guild is a group of quilters who meet twice monthly at the Cottonwood Center. They meet for fellowship, learning, encour-

agement, and inspiration. each meeting culminates with ‘show and tell’ where each member shows off what she has finished since the last meeting. nothing is more inspiring than looking at the work of others. The guild also makes an annual raffle quilt

The royal inland Master site plan is now finalized, providing a clear vision and road map to guide future hospital development.

stakeholder collaboration and discussion has occurred throughout the last year in order to establish the final Master site plan. staff and physicians, as well as the City of Kamloops and regional hospital district, were among those who provided input. The Master site plan reflects anticipated program needs and demographics for the next 15 years and into the future.

in addition to site access and sur-gical capacity, the need to redesign and expand the inpatient unit and increase the focus on ambulatory Care were also identified as key components of the plan.

“we know it is critical to pre-pare for the growing and chang-ing needs of the population, not only in Kamloops but across the region,” says interior health board Chair norman embree. “This plan reflects a long term look at planning needs with solutions in the next 10

years and a vision for beyond.”To address the priorities of surgi-

cal capacity and parking, interior health will be considering a new multi-storey surgical and inpa-tient tower, built adjacent to the existing Laboratory building on the east side of the hospital. The tower would include below-grade parking and a new multi-storey

parkade structure with clinical service expansion opportunities at Columbia street, with linkage to the existing facility.

The next step involves develop-ing the scope of work that would be involved with these projects in order for them to be considered in interior health’s capital planning process.

Donovan Cavers confirmed on July 21 that he will be running for a seat on Kamloops City Council this fall. he made the run decision some time ago but due to unforeseen cir-cumstances had to step in as a can-didate in the recent federal election, which required considerable time and energy. however, his batteries are now fully re-charged for the up-coming municipal election on no-vember 19th.

as a councillor, donovan will focus on encouraging and supporting inno-

vative, local businesses, in particular, the expanding tourism sector.

donovan ran in the last two feder-al elections as the local green par-ty candidate. he admits that he ran primarily to include certain perspec-tives in the federal debate and was aware that he had little chance of winning a seat. however, following the upcoming municipal election he fully intends to be one of the nine voices representing the citizens of Kamloops.

For years, donovan has advocated

for the diversification of transporta-tion options in Kamloops. in early February he made a presentation at one of the largest turnouts ever to a City budget hearing. he considers his ability to attract widespread pub-lic involvement in civic matters as an important asset.

donovan views quality of life proj-ects as vital components of a healthy city. he will ensure that initiatives such as Music in the park and proj-ect X Theatre receive adequate, on-going funding.

Donovan Cavers runs for City Council

all six of this year’s Kysa

FRoM bARSIDe To The DuNK TANKYou may, or may not, recognize Bryce Herman of Chances and Barside Lounge in this photo. He’s the one with the tube around his waist heckling the musician at the recent Merchant Market held in Downtown Kamloops. Later that day Bryce was headed to the dunk tank for the Community Carnival portion of the Market. On his way to the tank he had some fun on the street.

A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the game warden!

immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods, and hot on his heels came the game warden.

after about a half mile the fella stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath and the game warden finally caught up to him.

“Lets see yer fishin’ license, boy!” the warden gasped.

with that, the fella pulled out his wallet and gave the game warden a valid fishing license.

“well, son,” said the game warden, “you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! you don’t have to run from me if you have a valid license!”

“yes sir,” replied the young feller, “but my friend back there, well, he don’t have one...”

With all the rain this summer, the town of Sicamous doesn’t discriminate any visitors!

Considering doing some camping this spring or summer? Please note the following public service announcement: in b.C., tourists are warned to wear tiny bells on their cloth-ing when hiking in bear country. The bells warn away most bears. Tourists are also cautioned to watch the ground on the trail, paying particular attention to bear droppings to be alert for the presence of grizzly bears. one can tell a griz-zly dropping because it has tiny bells in it.

Warning for tourists

These are actual comments left on u. s. Forest service registration sheets and com-ment cards by backpackers completing wil-derness camping trips:

a small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. is there a way i can get reimbursed? Please call.escalators would help on steep uphill sections.instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest service needs to reduce world-wide population growth to limit the num-ber of visitors to wilderness.Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.ban walking sticks in wilderness. hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.Trails need to be reconstructed. please avoid building trails that go uphill.Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. please spray the wilder-ness to rid the area of these pests.please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in the winter.

Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views with-out having to hike to them.The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. please eradi-cate these annoying animals.Reflectors need to be placed on trees ev-ery 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.

American camper comments

The loaded mini-van pulled into the only remaining campsite. Four children leaped from the vehicle and began feverishly un-loading gear and setting up the tent. The boys rushed to gather firewood, while the girls and their mother set up the camp stove and cooking utensils.

a nearby camper marveled to the young-sters’ father, “That, sir, is some display of teamwork.”

The father replied, “i have a system — no one goes to the bathroom until the camp is set up.”
