Celebrate diversity and inclusion Being a part of community means so much more than just living in it. People with developmental disabilities, their families and the people who support them are advocating for full inclusion in all areas of life; places and spaces where everyone has a role to play. This is how a community development initiative called “Community Living Day” began in 1996 in Victoria.

This project generated great enthusiasm and the idea began to expand to members of community living associations and their community partners organizations across the province and country. They adopted October as a time to celebrate community living and plan events accordingly.

Each year, Community Living Month celebrates the talents and acknowledges the contributions that people with developmental disabilities bring to their communities. Community Living Month recognizes the hard work of individuals, families and community members to create inclusive communities and opportunities for all British Columbians with developmental disabilities.

The theme of this year is “we are ALL community”.

To bring awareness to services provided in Kamloops, Interior Community Services hosted a surprise flash mob on Wednesday, October 1 at Lansdowne Centre near Cooper’s Foods to kick off the month long campaign. The music was booming and the environment was vibrant as enthusiastic participants wore bright green bandanas and danced to celebrate inclusiveness for all.

Many service providers and community stakeholders are playing a leading role in organizing free events during October.

Thursday, October 2 and 9 will see Art-for-All workshops at the Kamloops Art Gallery from 10:30 to 11:30am. The gallery is also dis-

Pollution Job Fair

Mr. Open Pitbelly held a Pitbelly Pollution Job Fair at Venture Kamloops on Monday, September 29. The Kamloops mayoral contender continues to campaign on the “three P’s of prosperity” - ponds, pits and pollution. Mr. Pitbelly was touting job opportunities that will be created by open pit mining including opportunities in air pollution and dust control, emergency physicians, respiratory therapists, Molly Maids, cardiovascular specialists, nurses, HVAC specialists, special-needs teachers, car detailers, laundromat attendants and eldercare specialists. Elaine Sedgman’s (A.K.A Mr. Open Pitbelly) campaign is legitimate and Mr. Open Pitbelly will be on the ballot at the municipal election.

Nominations wanted for the 2014 Y Peace Medal Do you know a person or an organization in Kamloops who is quietly working to make our community or the world more peaceful by promoting respect, interconnectedness and positive action? Every year, the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA awards the Y Peace Medal to an individual or group who, without any special resources, demonstrates a commitment to peace through contributions made here in Kamloops or overseas? Nominate someone who is making our community or world a better place.

“Peace is not just the absence of conflict,” says Colin Reid, CEO of the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA. “Peace is the ongoing work of building conditions of fairness, inclusion, empathy, security and respect for diversity. Every one of the 16 individuals and organizations who have been awarded the Y Peace Medal over the past eight years have put these goals into action and inspired others to do the same.”

Past recipients of the Kamloops Y

Peace Medal include Louise Bick, non-violent crisis intervention practitioner (2013), the Rotary Clubs of Kamloops (2012) and Sahali Secondary Me to We (2011).

The awarding of the Y Peace Medal will take place during YMCA Peace Week, November 15 to 22.

Many other activities will be offered

to the community during this week dedicated to thinking about how each and every one of us can build community and act for peace.

Anyone can submit a nomination.

The nomination form and more details are available at kamloopsy.org/ peace. The deadline for nominations is October 24.

- continued from front

6:00pm and welcomes all members of community to celebrate.

There will be cake and fun activities for the whole family. Local agencies will be present with service information and will be promoting the idea that diversity makes us stronger and abilities define us far more than disabilities.

A big idea

October 2, 2014 n 3

It’s time to vote on a healthier environment. 24-hour access to a fleet of vehicles without the hassles or expenses of car ownership and transportation for everyone, from young urban professionals to lowincome families and seniors, that’s what the Interior CarShare Cooperative (InCar) aims to provide in the Kamloops area. Funds from the Aviva Community Fund will help them purchase a truck for their vehicle fleet.

It will also cover the costs of getting the carshare off ground, including getting the word out to the people who need access to this form of transportation the most.

Vote at avivacommunityfund.org and get this idea off the ground and on the road. You may vote once per day during the qualifying round ending October 13. If Interior CarShare garners enough votes for the judging phase they will receive a minimum of $5,000. Become a founding member of Interior CarShare and you’ll become a part of sustainable transportation history. Email info@interiorcarshare.ca for details.

Cool to Be Kind Week is back Interior Community Services (ICS) is taking the lead to spread kindness during the 9th annual Cool to Be Kind Week in Kamloops, October 6 to 10. ICS is inviting the community to take part and make a conscious effort to enhance the lives of friends, family, neighbors and people you haven’t yet met, with a goal of making Kamloops a better place to live and work.

ICS staff in Kamloops, Merritt and Barriere have all been challenged to take part individually, or as a team, to bring kindness to others in each of the communities through acts of kindness. ICS is also challenging Kamloops community members and businesses to do the same. Small acts of kindness have a huge impact on both the giver and those that receive.

ICS staff will be participating in acts of kindness throughout the week including providing a hot meal and warm clothing to those

in need. With the help of generous community sponsors they were able to reach out to over 400 people in need through this initiative last year. Cool to be Kind Week aligns with ICS’ mandate to enrich the lives of individuals and families within the communities they serve.

An appreciation poster board in ICS offices is available for staff and clients to record the kindness they have received from others throughout the week. Everyone is also welcome to share their stories on the ICS Cool to Be Kind Facebook page (Cool to Be Kind Kamloops).

ICS is accepting donations of lightly used, warm clothing (jackets, toques, winter boots, blankets, socks, and gloves) for men, women and children for this event. Donations can be dropped off at 396 Tranquille Road from October 6 to 8. For more information contact ICS at 250-554-3134 or visit interiorcommunityservices.bc.ca.

You may have noticed the blue piano is no longer at its Victoria Street location in front of Kipp Mallery Pharmacy. As we bid farewell to another summer, the blue piano has found warmer digs inside Golden Buddha and will continue to build upon the spirit of inspiring, impromptu music and creativity in our urban environment. Shoppers are invited to sit down and tickle the ivories for everyone’s enjoyment.

The TNRD Library System has recently increased its French collection, thanks to the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Regional District of Nanaimo and the CanadaBritish Columbia Cooperation Agreement on Official Languages for the additional purchase of French material.

The increased French collection is primarily focused on children’s and youth material and should better meet the needs of the local Francophone community as well as those students enrolled in French Immersion and their families.

The new French titles will be housed at the North Kamloops and Kamloops libraries, but will be available at any of the Library System’s branches.

Go on a road trip with good company Film lovers won’t want to miss the second screening in the Kamloops Film Society’s fall 2014 series.

Thursday, October 2 Land Ho! will be presented. This 2014 adventure/comedy is directed by Aaron Katz , Martha Stephens and stars Paul Eenhoorn and Earl Lynn Nelson.

A pair of ex-brothers-inlaw set off to Iceland in an attempt to reclaim their youth through Reykjavik nightclubs, trendy spas, and rugged campsites.

This bawdy adventure is a throwback to 1980s road trip comedies, as well as a candid exploration of aging, loneliness, and friendship.

Mitch, an unrepentant ‘bad boy’ (Nelson) and Colin (Eenhoorn), one-time brothers-in-law, the former a widower, the latter just out of his second marriage, unexpectedly end up going to Reykjavik together.

They see the sights, enjoy the geological wonders of

Iceland, eat unusual food, and smoke some high-quality weed. Their trip—they soon discover—has given them what each has lacked in their recent lives: company.

Critics have praised the moving cinematography of Andrew Reed, the references to 1990s movie trivia and the disparate performances

of these two very different, very unlikely traveling companions. One reviewer says of the film “’Land Ho!’ is a quirky buddy road trip flick that contains not one moment that isn’t completely believable” (Butler’s Cinema).

“Land Ho!” screens at 7:00pm at the Paramount Theatre (5th and Victoria).

An annual $2 membership in the Kamloops Film Society is required. Tickets and membership cards are available in advance at MovieMart, 444 St. Paul Street, or at the door the evening of the performance. Visit Kamloops Film Society at kamloopsfilmsociety.ca See you at the movies!

TNRD achieves carbon neutrality The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) announced at its September 18 Board of Directors meeting that it has been awarded a Level Three Achievement of Carbon Neutrality from the Climate Action Charter. A formal letter of recognition was sent to the TNRD acknowledging this accomplishment.

Climate action is a provincial priority and local governments are key partners in helping to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions and create complete, compact and energy-efficient communities.

In 2007-08, the TNRD became a signatory to the BC Climate Action Charter, along with 182 other local governments. The TNRD has measured and reported carbon emissions to the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program since 2010, and has taken measures to reduce corporate emissions.

“The TNRD is very pleased to be acknowledged for achieving Car-

bon Neutrality,” says CAO Sukh Gill. “We are committed to exploring innovative and cost effective measures to maintain our carbon-neutral status with the province.” The TNRD has been working on retrofitting buildings, improving fleet management, expanding recycling and diversion opportunities for solid waste, and incorporating carbon-neutral initiatives into planning exercises, all in an effort to reduce corporate emissions.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Visit Larry’s Auto Glass if you’ve taken a hit Well, it happened again. You were following a dump truck and a rock flew up giving you a little scare and a little crack on your windshield. Is your car unsafe to drive?

Your windshield is a structural and safety component in your vehicle and is designed to stay intact and keep you safe through all but the most severe collisions. Anything that obstructs your field of vision is a driving hazard so a cracked windshield puts your safety at risk. Being able to see properly is a must so head over to Larry’s Auto Glass and keep yourself safe.

Larry’s has been serving Kamloops for over 20 years. New owner Wade Kozak and his team are proud to provide quality automotive glass repair and replacement to manufacturers’ safety standards with the same level of service locals have come to expect. Wade has been in the glass industry for 18 years. Plans are in the works to add residential glass repair to the list of Larry’s Auto Glass services.

One of the services the trained, licensed technicians at Larry’s offer is professional stone chip repair. Windshield glass is laminated to withstand impact better. A small chip or crack is just an air pocket where the glass is separated so smaller windshield fractures can be fixed by a process of vacuuming the air out, injecting resin and then curing. Having a small crack or chip repaired now will keep it from spreading and saves time and money down the road.

If a rock chip has been left to run or when bigger breaks occur, a qualified auto glass specialist will evaluate and recommend replacement if it is the only option. The knowledgeable team at Larry’s can install your front windshield and can also make repairs to or replace your back windshield, side windows and side-view mirrors.

Many may think that polio has become a thing of the past and doesn’t pose a threat. Rotarians help countries where it is still endemic and work with the thought in mind that as long as polio occurs somewhere on the planet we will not be free of this disease.

Backed by excellent scientific and technical support to end polio, Rotarians have partnered with a number of other organizations interested in achieving the same goal to collect the resources needed to carry on this initiative until completion.

Rotary began fighting polio in 1979 and has raced non-stop in its organizing efforts to end the crippling disease all over the world.

They have a blueprint for eradication in the last three polio-endemic countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. After the elimination of polio, measles and rubella could be tackled with similar success.

Roger Prestet is the president of the Kamloops North Rotary Club and speaks proudly about his club’s role in the final stages of polio eradication, “We are hosting a Rotary Day in Kamloops. The theme for the day is “This Close� as Rotary is “this close� to eradicating Polio from the world. Our

task is 99 percent complete.�

Roger will be appearing at an upcoming City of Kamloops council meeting requesting that October 4 be proclaimed Rotary Day in Kamloops.

A passionate spokesman, Roger comments, “The last part is the hardest. The world today is like a village. As long as one child contacts Polio in the world, no child is safe.�

Rotarians and supporters of the program will be rallying Saturday, October 4 and will host activities including a bocce ball tournament organized by the Rotaract Club.

Bragging rights and the Championship Bocce Cup will be awarded to the winning team of the first annual Beer, Bocce and BBQ Tournament at Hal Rogers hall in Albert McGowan Park. Registration begins at 1:30pm. Participating teams are highly encouraged to dress in theme and there are prizes to be won. All proceeds will go towards community projects supported by the Kamloops Fusion Rotaract Club. “On October 4 we will be marching down Tranquille Road, starting at the Northills Shopping Centre to McDonald Park.� Roger adds, “There will be presentations about polio.�

Thanks to Rotarians and its partners, armed with a global strategic plan and unyielding dedication, the world will see its last case and a certification of a polio-free world by 2018.

The Rotarian mantra of “service above self� will have manifested this achievement. Kamloops North Rotary Club has a proud history of deeds both locally and beyond. Thanking a Rotarian on October 4 is but an easy task.

Rotary Club of Kamloops North meets Wednesdays at 5:15pm at the Army Navy and Airforce Veterans in Canada - Unit 290 located at #9 - 177 Tranquille Road.

Attention: young travelers wanted Rotary International District 5060’s Youth Exchange Program is looking for Grade 10, 11 and 12 students to make a difference and live in a foreign country for a year. You will learn and experience a new country, culture and language. You will depart on your exchange in August of 2015.

Are you ready for it? Not sure? Need information? Check it out at their Kamloops and Area Information Night on October 2. The session begins at 7:00pm and will be held at St. John Vianney Community Hall at 2826 Bank Road. Please bring your parents.

Life’s a lot easier when you know what’s coming!

Collin Sonny Rosati wrote the Astro-Week Love Horoscopes for straightuplove. com and was a “call in” psychic for The Circle of Stars Psychic Network. These days he continues to host the Weekend Love Updates on his website, thesunnyside.net and he now writes the weekly horoscopes for The Echo!

Sonny began his journey into the world of astrology, psychic energy, and the subconscious as a youth when he attended The Etobicoke School of the Arts. There was something special about that group of kids who used to play with Tarot Cards and Ouija Boards between performances. Many of them went on to careers in the performing arts but Sonny chose a different path.. he kept studying. First at The Ontario Hypnosis Institute where he became a Master Hypnotist, then at Astrology Toronto where he formalized his studies in Astrology.

Along the way he kept studying, and sharing what he learned by writing books for young Hypnotists, posting free self-hypnosis meditations on his youtube channel, giving astrology readings and always writing horoscopes. Eventually, The Globe and Mail and The National Post found him using his talents leading How to Find True Love Workshops and called him The Love Hypnotist. This spurred him on to further his exploration into love, astrology and the unconscious. In 2011 he hosted an Astrology Summit on his web broadcastthesunnyside.net where he interviewed some of the internet’s most popular astrologers including Elizabeth Ellis (Addicted to Astrology) and Henry Weingarden (Afund.com).

echo stargazer Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Your relationships will be tested this week and you’ll be impulsive about it. So... just watch everyone’s feelings when you’re adjusting your boundaries.

Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Whatever is bugging you it’s time to change. Give up smoking? Just the start. And remember, this is your change so don’t blame everyone or blow up if things don’t go your way. Just do your best.

Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You’ve been spending time in the public and it’s now time to take care of your own needs.

An unusual lover crosses your eye but this week is about you. Draw them and go out together.

Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) This Full Moon highlights your themes of home vs. public career. You’ve been working towards a career goal but you’re suddenly feeling that you should be spending more time at home. Don’t worry too much. Your family appreciates your efforts.

Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Suddenly you come to life and the world takes notice. Expect the phone to ring with good news.

There’s a chance for a sudden business opportunity.

Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Personal boundaries come into focus. You’ve been giving a lot lately and wondering what’s in it for you. Take a step back and have a look. Keep your eyes open for sudden advancement at work or a sudden win fall of money!

Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Holding a secret flame for someone? Go ahead and let them know. You’re receiving love directly into your partnerships so if you’re single then keep your eyes open! Try not go too carried away but definitely say hello.

Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) Take some time to indulge and be kind to yourself. It’s been rough lately and now it’s time to balance and heal. Sudden health issues might flare up but they should pass quickly. Clear the air that’s built up between you and a close friend.

Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) You’ve just come out of a rough spell but perseverance has helped you through. Friends, family, and how they fit into your life become the focus even though you’re feeling frisky and you’d like to just get out and play. Get out and meet some new friends.

Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) Be on the lookout for a sudden job opportunity. Spruce up the resume and expect the phone to ring.

It’s time to shake things up and get back on track.

Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Lately you’ve been working so hard and you’ve been wondering just what it’s all been for? Get out into the world this week and explore something you might have never before considered. Words are the key, so speak from the heart and you’ll be heard.

Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) A partner will need your financial help at the worst time. On the plus side, you’re freely attracting money. It’s all part of being there for each other.
