Learn the benefits of keeping urban hens With the support of a community collective, Kamloops Food and Urban Agriculture Plan (FUAP) has been in development for well over eighteen months. Initiatives like community gardens and farmers markets are encouraged, as are practices like composting, gleaning and urban hens.

FUAP strives to create educational opportunities to empower and inform the community as they pursue sustainable food practices.

The Urban Hens Workshop, the first of its kind being offered in Kamloops, is set for November 7 and 8 from 7:00 to 9:30 pm.

One of the initiatives of Sustainable Kamloops Plan and the Kamloops Social Plan, the free two-day informative workshop is being offered by the City of Kamloops for anyone wanting to hear more about “the art and science of hen keeping.”

There will be presentations from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, conservation officers, Kamloops bylaw and Wildsafe BC. The various educational seminars will cover provincial regulations and bylaw restrictions.

In addition, matters regarding housing requirements, animal interactions, poultry health, food safety practices as well as husbandry—the care and breeding of animals—and biosecurity—the preventive measures

Recreation rates and fees increase

Remember your poppy

The City of Kamloops is changing its rates and fees schedule for 2017. Subject to Council approval, rates for all facilities will increase by five per cent, starting January 1, 2017. The increase will affect all recreation facilities, including sports fields, room and hall rentals, single event permits and ice rentals. Recreation fees haven’t increased since 2014 and the City has consulted with primary facility partners and user groups in order to maintain service levels and quality.

In addition to the necessary increases in rates and fees, there will also be some minor changes to the membership program structure at the TCC. The City will phase out the Annual Corporate Pass but will continue to offer discounted fees with the purchase of an annual membership. A Full Facility TCC membership holder has access to a 4,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art Wellness Centre, Techno gym equipment, a 200 m indoor track, Hillside Stadium and the Canada The Poppy Campaign office is now open at their new location at 238A St. Paul Street across from Stuart Games Aquatic Centre.

Arnica Artist-Run Centre is presenting October Revolution, showcasing the work of members of the Kamloops Printmakers Collective. The event anticipates the 100-year anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution. In October Revolution the Kamloops Printmakers use vintage technology to produce images with contemporary content by mixing propaganda posters and iconic images of fists, sickles and heroic workers with social concerns of today.

In the early twentieth century, posters of propaganda and protest became rallying cries for political change, liberty and the rise of labour unions. Suffrage and gender equality issues mixed with arts and cultural events. Designed with simple compositions and bold colours, which incorporate modernist collage techniques, posters and

leaflets were the social network transmitting political messages before the digital age. Though we live in different times, the struggle for human rights and tolerance, animal and environmental protection continue and artists are well equipped to use their talents for activism around these causes. Working with similar methods and technologies as artist-printers in the past, the Kamloops Printmakers contemporize the ‘protest’ image by referencing current initiatives and social movements.

October Revolution opened October 28 and runs to December 2 in the Arnica Artist-Run Centre located at 7 Seymour Street West, Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. For more information, contact gallery coordinator Christine Beaton at arnicaarc@gmail.com.

you won the race? hot dog!

A business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: “Help Wanted: Must be able to type, have computer skills and be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer” A dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined a bit.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on a chair and stared at the manager.

The manager said, “I can’t hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type.”

The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back up on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, “The sign also says you have to be good with a computer.”

The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to enter and execute a perfect spreadsheet that worked flawlessly the first time.

By this time, the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said, “I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I still can’t give you the job.”

The dog jumped down and went over to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentence about being an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The manager said, “Yes, but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual.” The dog looked at that manager calmly and said, “Meow.”

Psychic advice A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds.

His Personal Psychic Advisor tells him: “You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you.”

The frog is thrilled, “This is great!

“Will I meet her at a party?” he croaks.

“No,” says the psychic, “in biology class.”

November 3, 2016 n 11 Your furry friend’s health and well-being will benefit.

When one of our advertisers asks you where you saw their ad...

Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your words bite hard without even trying and you easily send love running just by the harsh way you say hello. It may seem futile but knowing all of this in advance can save your heart.

Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) The light is shining on your past and love has dropped in to say hello. You might feel tired and nostalgic but love is still calling. Dig deep and say yes when that dark and sexy friend finally asks you out.

Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Being full of energy and primed to take on the world doesn’t mean you should be disruptive to the dreams of those around you. Love is attracting secret affairs so don’t rock the boat.

Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) If you’re in a quiet battle with someone simply let sleeping dogs lie and get on with your life. Friends are calling and you might as well get out and play. The light returns to your career.

Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Your career is on full steam and everywhere you go people want to know about your latest triumphs. Friends can be a downer but you’ve recently been reborn into a global world. Give yourself time to grow.

Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Double check all paperwork relating to joint finances. The travel bug has taken a bite but your finances have to be in order to take that trip. Forget trivial arguments and give love a chance.

Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) The love spotlight is shining on your personal relationships and your latest playmate looks like a keeper. It’s time to take things to the next level. Joint finances get a boost.

Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) Love is attracting stronger than you think but it’s different this time. A new energy is heating up your personal relationships. Open yourself to someone unusual and let love win the day.

Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) Loving energy is helping to smooth the bumps in your daily routine. Relationships on the other hand are filled with unresolved conflicts. You already have the answers. Start living them.

Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Your daily routine is filled with bumps, potholes and endless accidents. Take a deep breath and look at how far you’ve already come. A personal goal deserves one more push.

Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) The spotlight is directly shining on your words so watch what you say! The world has moved on and conversations are exposing more of where you might be stuck than you realize.

Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Yes, your silver tongue has returned and money looks brighter than it has in years but you will need all of your personal tools and a full pocketbook to survive your latest decision.
