Kamloops supports KidSport Week KidSport Kamloops is pleased to announce that the City of Kamloops has approved their request to make the week of September 7th officially KidSport Week. KidSport Kamloops is a local chapter of KidSport Canada, a not for profit organization. They work to remove the financial barriers that otherwise prohibit a child from playing sports. Funds KidSport Kamloops has helped break raised locally are down financial barriers that would prevent spent locally and Kamloops kids from playing organized sports. are distributed as KidSport Week is September 7 to 13. grants to cover registration and equipment fees associated with participation in a season of sport. KidSport Kamloops has been helping kids since 2003 and gave, on average $50,000 per year to kids in need. Recent statistics show that about one in five families do not have the financial means to allow their kids to play organized sports. The goal this year for the local Kamloops chapter was to help create awareness in the community. “So many families are still unaware that this program is available to help them,” says Scott Andruschak, chair of KidSport Kamloops. Last year, KidSport helped 175 kids receive funding to allow them to play sports. “So far this year we have helped 167 kids but our
goal is 200,” declared Scott. “We are hoping that with the City’s help of making the second week of September KidSport Week, we can create even more awareness to help us achieve our goal and to keep that number growing.” Sport and physical activity provide invaluable opportunities for kids to learn teamwork, fair play and dedication. Through sport participation, kids learn how to set goals and work to achieve them, while having fun and learning social and fundamental movement skills. Kids in sport benefit from increases in self-confidence and tend to lead happier, healthier lifestyles, now and in the future. Children 18 years and under in need are - continued on page 2

Volunteers call to action
On the road again
A group of activists, artists and cyclists began a three-week pilgrimage from Anacortes, Washington on Saturday, August 15 and will make their way through BC and ending in Fort McMurray, Alberta to bring awareness to the issue of the Oil Sands project. The Road to Athabasca, as they are formally known, stopped in at the Smorgasbord Deli on Wednesday, August 19 and will be visiting towns situated along the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline route. Among the group are (L-R) Erika Lundahl, Kyle Rapp, Derek Hoshiko and Phillip Jones.
City advises reduction in water consumption The City of Kamloops is asking all residences and businesses to voluntarily reduce their water consumption by 30 per cent in light of current river levels. Responding to dry conditions, the Government of BC has announced a Level 4 drought rating for the South Thompson and North Thompson basins. Short periods of rain have not been sufficient to recharge aquifers or create lasting effects on local stream flow levels. The government has taken the additional action of suspending angling in streams and rivers throughout the Thompson Okanagan due to ongoing low stream flows and warming water temperatures. Level 4 means a region is experiencing extremely dry conditions and water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs. Conditions call for voluntary water conservation, restrictions and regulatory responses from the government. A maximum reduction may be imposed.
The City of Kamloops is requesting voluntary water reductions of 30 per cent by all water users for the remainder of the dry season. This is critical to avoid further regulated restrictions should conditions worsen and stream flows continue to decline. River levels in the North and South Thompson rivers are reaching historical lows and in many cases temperatures are reaching lethal limits for migrat-
ing salmon. Predictions are that above average summer air temperature and reduced precipitation will continue and likely will further contribute to elevated stream and river temperatures in the Thompson and Okanagan areas. The South Thompson River is a critical tributary for the migrating Adams River Sockeye salmon run. The North Thompson River supports fish population of Bull trout, Kokan-

The City will advise residents once the voluntary restrictions are over.
City of Kamloops proclaims KidSport Week September 7 to 13 - continued from front eligible to apply for a grant for funding from KidSport Canada. Applications completed with a cover letter are reviewed at the monthly board meetings and applicants usually hear back within a month if they have been approved. The next board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 3. The grant per child per year is a maximum of $500
and will cover registration fees and in some cases equipment. The grant cannot be used for camps, lessons, travel costs or fundraising and they can play more than one sport in a calendar year as long as they do not exceed the $500 maximum. KidSport Canada tries not to limit the applicant’s choice of sport. They define it as a season of sustained sport experience led by a qualified coach. The organization should be affiliated with a
provincial sport organization and must be licensed and insured. For ideas on options visit Kamloops’ Tournament Capital Centre or Kamloops Sports Council.

Fundraiser for Guatamalan health Developing World Connections (DWC) and Home Hardware invite all fairway fans to tee up for the 8th annual charity golf tournament on Thursday, September 10 at Sun Rivers Golf Resort. It’s a chance to go global with your golf game and do well for Guatemala. This year, proceeds go to Light Up Guatemala, an initiative that puts fuel-efficient eco-stoves in the homes of poor families that rely on burning wood in their houses for cooking fires. Those stoves have a bigger impact than some people might think. Cooking fire smoke causes respiratory illnesses that kill at least two
million people worldwide every year. Feeding those fires contributes to deforestation. The indoor eco-stoves lower the amount of fuel needed by almost 70 per cent, thereby lowering a family’s wood supply expenses and reducing the need to cut down trees. The eco-stoves also keep the homes smoke free. The non-profit DWC has made Light Up Guatemala this year’s project of choice for the annual golf tournament. The group is sending a team to install 45 eco-stoves in Calderas, Guatemala from November 28 to December 6. The more eco-stoves that can be bought means that more
families that can breathe easier. The golf tournament includes its usual fun, food and fantastic people. Individuals and teams are welcome to sign up. For your entry fee you get 18 holes of golf with a cart rental, prizes, an awards banquet and the satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference in someone’s life. Sign up soon, spaces are limited. There is also time to become a sponsor. For more information on the tournament or to talk sponsorship, contact Shellie Franklin at 250319-2236 or email golf@developingworldconnections.org.
Kamloops Blazers refine logo for upcoming season The Kamloops Blazers hockey club has introduced a refined logo starting with the 2015 to 2016 season. The change is slight, with the name ‘Kamloops’ being removed from the logo. Mark Recchi, who played for the Blazers from 1986 to 1988 and is a part owner of the hockey club stated, “We believe this updated logo gives the Kamloops Blazers a fresh and clean new look.” Daryl Reaugh, who played for the Jr. Oilers and Blazers franchise from 1983 to 1985, was instrumental in the modification. Daryl, who is a colour analyst for television and radio broadcasts for the Dallas Stars, had this to say; “Ed-
iting ‘Kamloops’ from the main logo was done with much discourse but ultimately was felt needed in an effort to make the front of the uniform less wordy. The result of this subtle augmentation has created a bolder, more streamlined appearance of the storied Blazer emblem.” The Blazers have also introduced a new secondary logo that will be worn as a shoulder patch on the home and away jerseys and the secondary logo represents elements of the city of Kamloops. It depicts the sun rising over an identical silhouette of Mount
Peter and Mount Paul along with the Thompson River, which flows through the city. It also stays in line with the Blazers traditional Blue, orange and white colour scheme. “The club’s ambassadorship for the great city of Kamloops endures in the striking secondary logo on the shoulder caps and the municipality name on the interior collar of the jersey,” Reaugh continued. “All together I think it’s a fresh visual stamping of this franchise’s proud heritage and logo.” Prior to the start of the 2015 to 2016 regular season, the hockey club will be introducing updated home and away jerseys.

Grants for further education
The BC Training and Education Savings Program (BCTESP), which became available on August 14, will provide $1,200 to eligible children for post-secondary education or training programs. Although the program was announced earlier in the year, the application process is now open for BC parents with children between the ages of six and nine. “Even if your children are just beginning their school life, you need to start planning on how to finance their post-secondary education or training aspirations,” says Rob Oleksyn, an investment expert with First West Credit Union’s Valley First division. “The BCTESP is just one several grants available that will really help jumpstart education savings.” In addition to $1,200 from the BCTESP, the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) will match 20 per cent of yearly contributions up to a maximum of $2,500. The Canada Learning Bond is another program that provides eligible children with $500 for their RESP right away with an additional $100 each year until the age of 15.

There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything and just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife.” So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket with the wife sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait just a minute!” She had a shoebox with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all that money in the casket.” “Yes,” the wife said, “I promised. I’m a good wife, I can’t lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.” “You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?” “I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a cheque.”

My two-year-old cousin scared us one summer by disappearing during our lakeside vacation. More than a dozen relatives searched the forest and shoreline, and everyone was relieved when we found Alex playing calmly in the woods. “Listen to me, Alex,� his mother said sharply. “From now on when you want to go someplace, you tell Mommy first, okay?� Alex thought about that for a moment and said, “Okay. Disney World.�
Miniature golf
It was at a miniature golf course on a brutally hot day when I saw a father with three kids. “Who’s winning?� I asked cheerfully. “I am,� said one “No, I am,� said another. “No,� the father said, “their mother is!�
What’s the Internet?
“C’mon, Ma you have got to try it,� I pleaded to my elderly Mother. I don’t know how my Mother lasted this long without ever using the Internet, but enough was enough! I thought. “Ok,� she said reluctantly settling down by the computer and slowly putting on her reading glasses, “What do I do now?� “Now I’m going to open the home page of Google�, I explained. “OK here it is! Now type in any question you want into the bar over here and you will find an answer to your question.� I confidently assured her. My Mother looked at me warily, thought for a second, and slowly began to type, ‘How is Gertrude doing this morning?’

echo stargazer Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) The recent combination of both good and bad cycles from the past have you wondering if you’re ever going to be free from your karmic responsibilities. Take a deep breath and enjoy a moment of introspective alone time, envision new questions to ask the universe and prepare for more. Big rewards are waiting to direct your path. Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) With all of your social networking these days for both business and pleasure, you’d think money would be the least of your concerns. If you walked your path with honest intentions then your way will be clear and rewards will follow. The answers are not going to be easy but your decisions in the next two weeks will light a flare your destiny will see. Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Burning the candle at both ends usually results in a early evening and a quick exit from the stage if a lack of elbow grease wastes the light. If on the other hand, pencil was put to paper and your time in the spotlight was used effectively, then rewards for a job well done will follow. The social bug is about to call. Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Naturally optimistic, jovial and smart, you’d just like everyone to get along. These are warm sentiments as you continue to expand your working world with new products and a bigger piece of the corporate pie. You’re beginning a new cycle at work where the boss is watching your every move. Do something to make them smile. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) You may have recently discovered something about your closest partner that has left you scratching your head. Your view of the world is about to change with a conversation with someone exceptionally different. Accept the challenge as the travel bug bites with a spiritual journey. Love is discovered in the back rooms. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) As much as you’d like to escape into the future, strong elements from your past colour your current journey with caution. Closest relationships continue with a chaotic energy pulling you from the path that’s growing in clarity each day. Expansion visits joint finances just in time to save a forgotten dream. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) As much as you’d like to get out and explore the world, the bigger and broader experience has had to wait. Take a deep breath and continue to look deeply within. Then take a detailed account of your surroundings. This week you’ll see that love is always worth the extra effort. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) We can’t always have the head and the heart on the same page and that makes things difficult enough. This week you’re entering a cycle of daily chores, good habits and physical health. It doesn’t sound fun but it could be. Although your to do list might come from someone else, you’re still the boss of your emotions. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) Home issues continue to cause fits but there’s a bigger picture lesson here. As you enter your creative and playful cycle take a lesson from the kids and let go of ego traps. The outcome will surprise you so much as you get the kids ready for school that you’ll want to colour the rest your day with a new, playful attitude. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) Some weeks it seems as if all you do is talk, talk, talk and don’t really get anywhere. This week you will continue the networking but you’re going to have a new focus. Home and family are going to take centre stage in a big way. Look for ways to make money from your home. In a couple of weeks, it will happen. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) You’ve come out of your shell recently and then had a close look at your personal money wheel in life. It’s now time to network, see what’s out there in the world and generally expand your thinking. Asking new questions will lead to a new money opportunity. Love is waiting at the bank. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Decisions with home and family continue to restrict the fun. It’s not like there’s a fight brewing but daily obligations are taking a toll. On the plus side money and the toys they buy are on a major upswing. No it won’t buy the happiness you crave but sharing is a step in the right direction.
