RIH construction continues to shape up Royal Inland Hospital’s (RIH) new Clinical Services Building (CSB) continues to take shape and is on track to open to patients in summer 2016. With exterior work nearly complete, the building is transforming into a modern health-care facility and parking structure. On September 25, the pedestrian bridge link was installed, connecting the CSB to the existing hospital and ensuring access for patients to all services within RIH. The roof is also nearing completion – another important milestone, as it will allow design-builder Bird Construction to turn to the interior finishes. You will also notice a change to the Kamloops skyline – in December, the tower crane that has been such an important part of the construction work began to come down. This will allow for the completion of the retail storefront area on Columbia Street. Work has also begun on readying the Clinical Services Building for patients.

Always something to do in downtown Kamloops - continued from front And last but definitely not least – eats! Downtown is the epicentre of good food in Kamloops. And it should be your duty to explore it and expand your palette. Coffee, craft beer, desserts, fine dining, ethnic and tonnes of local fare adorn the menus of all your favourite establishments. Cheese, charcuterie and brewmaster plates can be found at The Commodore, Terra, The Noble Pig and Mittz Kitchen.

Provincial gaming grants give boost to area food programs Four non-profit organizations that support vulnerable people in Kamloops, Barriere and Clearwater are receiving a combined $195,500 from the province’s Community Gaming Grants program. The organizations receiving grants in Kamloops are the Kamloops Food Bank and Outreach Society: $130,000 for the organization’s food distribution program; and Kamloops Food Policy Council: $22,000 for the Community Food Action Program. “Supporting vulnerable families is a cornerstone of our government’s commitment to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to share in BC’s prosperity,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “These organizations work hard to ensure everyone who needs it has access to good, nutritious food, especially during the Christmas season.” “These grants are going to societies that make a difference for our region’s less-fortunate people,” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said. “I’m delighted that our government is supporting these organizations, particularly at this time of year when demand is high.”

Kamloops nets a 2016 Age-Friendly Grant Kamloops is among 28 BC communities that have been awarded 2016 Age-Friendly Community Planning and Project grants, to support strategies to help seniors stay mobile, physically active, socially connected and healthy. The City of Kamloops will receive $15,000 to engage community members and local organizations in the development of an Inclusive Accessibility Plan. The plan will build on previous work, including the City of Kamloops’ 2010 Age-Friendly Community Plan. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution for addressing the needs of a community’s seniors,” Health Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “That’s why collaboration between organizations and input from individuals in Kamloops is so important and I’m proud that our government is supporting these initiatives.” For the 2016 grants, communities were encouraged to consider projects that focus on accessibility, elder abuse prevention, dementia and non-medical home support. A committee from the UBCM and the provincial government reviewed applications. To date, age-friendly community planning and project grants have funded 268 projects in 142 local governments in all areas of BC, totaling $5.25 million.

Influenza (the flu) can spread quickly so Interior Health is reminding the public that it is not too late to get your flu shot. Influenza symptoms often include sudden high fever, headache, general body aches and pains, fatigue and weakness, a runny, stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. In some cases, influenza can lead to more severe illness such as pneumonia and even death. “The flu shot is the safest and most effective way to prevent influenza,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Getting a flu shot helps protect you from influenza and it also helps prevent you from spreading it to family, friends, and those who may be more vulnerable to serious complications from influenza.” The flu shot is still available at pharmacies, physician offices and through local public health cen-
tres. To find a flu shot provider near you visit Immunize BC’s Flu Clinic locator (http://immunizebc. ca/clinics/flu#8/49.246/-123.116). For a complete list of those at risk and eligible for a free flu shot visit the Interior Health website (https://www.interiorhealth. ca/YourHealth/Immunization/ SeasonalFluCampaign/Pages/ default.aspx). In addition to getting a flu shot, Dr. Golmohammadi stresses that proper hand washing and covering noses and mouths when coughing or sneezing are also important ways to prevent the spread of influenza and many other infections. He advises that people experiencing influenza symptoms should stay home from work, school and holiday gatherings to reduce the risk of spreading infection to others. In BC, the majority of influenza cases occur between December to April, with the peak of activity typically occurring in January.

Refresh & Renew Yourself “Taking time for yourself is acutally a gift to everyone else”
Belly up to the new “barre” You won’t find a cocktail at this “barre”, but you will find toned legs, lifted posteriors, strong cores and sculpted arms. New on the downtown fitness scene, BARRE Kamloops offers full-body workouts designed to work muscles you didn’t know you had. “Combining elements of ballet, pilates and yoga, our classes are designed to lengthen and strengthen muscles using small, isometric movements,” says Geralyn Alain, co-owner of BARRE Kamloops. Having just opened in early November, word is quickly spreading about this new studio. “Not one minute of this highly addictive class is wasted – it is 60 full minutes of crazy, hardcore activity that is fun and effective! Each class flies by and you find yourself feeling amazing and looking forward to your next visit,” says client Kristin Bond. Co-owner Kristen Pickell adds, “No dance experience is required – just a willingness to work hard in a friendly, social atmosphere with great music!” Beginning January 9, BARRE Kamloops is hosting a 60 Day Challenge in which participants are
Downtown’s Best Kept Secret
encouraged to attend three classes per week over 60 days. For those wanting to track progress, body and flexibility measurements are available, and challengers will also have access to weekly prize draws from local businesses. Learn more at www.barrekamloops.com, or email info@barrekamloops.com

BUSINESS COMPUTER SPECIAL
Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) It’s time to rethink your financial strategy. You’d love to get out and join the gang for some fun but this energy is sticking around so there’s no rush to accept every invitation. Something that didn’t work in the past gets another chance. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) You’re entering a cycle where the office and your public persona will require most of your energy. You’re being seen as an aggressive “go-getter” and the bosses like what they see. More than one opportunity to advance your career will present itself. Don’t get sidetracked when the social invitations come rolling in. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) A new way of thinking has expanded your personal philosophies and the bosses love it! A promotion at work is on the horizon so keep busy and get those projects finished on time. A second chance is offered with grace. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Joint finances, shared possessions and personal intimacy come under the spotlight. As much as you like to take the lead, you’re beginning a cycle where team efforts will be rewarded. Expect to uncover a secret that comes a little too close for comfort.

Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) An optimistic philosophy or expansive attitude colours your approach with a fresh vision and paves the way for a new success. Love takes an intimate step towards a relationship you’ve been waiting for. Expect to go an extra mile for someone close. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) Love brings romance right to your door but it’s up to you to make it work. Energy is aggressively flowing into your daily routine including physical health, habits and paperwork. You’re going to be busy so budget time for your romantic adventure. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) An important project takes centre stage and you’re going to do your best to make it succeed. Rewards are not going to happen overnight but keep working because they will arrive later in the year. Love is waiting at the office. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) You’ve entered in an extended “grounding” cycle where you’ll prepare your home, family and living environment to reflect how you’d really like to be seen. Expect home renovations, a move and squabbles with family. Restrictions in love are temporarily set aside, finally allowing your efforts to be rewarded.

Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) The New Year ushers in a time to work the phones and generate the support you need for a personal project. Be aggressive and don’t take “no” for an answer. This is an extended cycle so expect setbacks but definitely keep going. Love restructures your home.

Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) You haven’t been communicating effectively and as a result love has suffered. Although restrictions in communication will continue for the next while, you’re in a cycle where love is waiting on your every word. If you feel like your message wasn’t received recently, try again.

Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Mars enters Scorpio giving you a major boost in physical and emotional energy.
