Galleries run with Sockeye In late October 2010, residents of the BC interior were treated to an unmatched return of sockeye salmon through its rivers and streams. Along the Adams River an estimated 15 million sockeye salmon returned to their spawning grounds. To honour this unusually high number of salmon a multi-artist exhibition, dubbed Peak Year, was hosted by the Salmon Arm Gallery (SAGA) in 2011. The support of SAGA and the Adams River Salmon Society have enabled this exhibit to travel to other communities. The unique interpretations of this phenomenon, as presented by nine Shuswap/Thompson area artists, are on display in Kamloops Arts Council’s Main Gallery at the Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour Street West until September 22. The Peak Year show will also travel to Campbell River in 2013. The Adams River Salmon Society promotes and supports opportunities for education, interpretation and conservation. The Society continues to coordinate the world famous “Salute to the Sockeye” held every four years to celebrate millions of salmon returning home to the Adams River. In 2010 the Salute to the Sockeye broke all records, both for attendance and numbers of returning salmon. During the three-week long event, over 160,000 people, including tourists from all over the world, visited the site. Each artist has captured the the river, its salmon and the habitat in different manners and media. The show is stunning in both its depth and its perspectives. Area artists who created pieces for the show are Karen Hanna, Cindy Hayden, Ray Perreault, Otto Pfannschmidt, Lisa

One hundred years ago on September 14, Royal Inland Hospital opened at its current location on Columbia Street. A lot has changed in 100 years. To help mark this milestone Royal Inland is planning a largescale time exposure photo shoot, dubbed The Big Picture. Staff, physicians, volunteers and the public are invited to bring a flashlight or photo flash bulbs to the hospital on Friday, September 14 at 8:00 pm to help light up various parts of the hospital’s exterior, visually painting the building with light. Members of the Kamloops Photo Arts Club will be shooting from a nearby roof-top for a 60 second time exposure. The resulting photo will be available to participants digitally as a keepsake and will be framed and displayed in the hospital. On-site parking will be free from 7:30pm to 9:30pm for this event. Space is limited, please pre-register. To view a sample of similar projects visit the Rochester Institute of Technology’s “Big Shot” web page at www.rit.edu/cias/bigshot. For more information or to register, contact Education Services at 250-314-2100 ext. 2230.
Students — save your receipts to be eligible for tax claims Cathy McLeod, Parliamentary Secretary for Revenue Canada wants to remind all university students going back to school to save their receipts. “If you’re moving for school this year you may be able to claim a tax deduction for moving expenses when you file your income tax and benefit return. You may also be able to claim a non-refundable tax credit based on the cost of your transit passes. So don’t forget to keep your receipts,” said McLeod. “In addition, there are other benefits and non-refundable tax credits that students may be eligible to claim. Non-refundable tax credits reduce your federal tax; however, if the total of these credits is more than your federal tax, you will not get a refund for the difference,” stated McLeod. Education amount: You may be able to claim a full-time education amount of $400, or parttime amount of $120, for each month or part of a month in the year in which you were enrolled in a qualifying program at the post-secondary level. Textbook amount: You may be able to claim a textbook amount for each month that you qualify for the education amount. Tuition amount: You may be able to claim the fees you pay
for the courses taken at the postsecondary level or at an educational institution certified by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. To qualify you must have paid more than $100 in tuition fees for the year. Interest on student loans: You may be eligible to claim an
amount for the interest paid in 2012 or the preceding five years on your student loan if you received it under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or a similar provincial or territorial government laws. Goods and services tax/ har-
monized sales tax (GST/HST) credit: The GST/HST credit is a tax-free quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low or modest “For all those requiring additional information I encourage you to visit www.cra.gc.ca/students,” concluded McLeod.
Call to improve accessibility Organizations can now apply for funding for projects that will create or enhance accessibility for people with disabilities in Canadian communities through the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund. Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops – Thompson - Cariboo, today invited organizations to submit proposals for small projects. These may include renovations, construction and retrofitting of buildings, modification of vehicles for community use or enhancements to make information and communication technologies more accessible. “The Government of Canada recognizes the abilities of all Canadians and is committed to removing
barriers for people with disabilities,” said McLeod. “Through the Enabling Accessibility Fund, our Government is improving access to facilities, activities and services to enable all Canadians to participate more fully in society.” The call for proposals was launched by Dr. Kellie Leitch, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, on August 21, 2012. Organizations can submit proposals until October 5, 2012, and can receive up to $50,000 per project. To find out how to apply for funding or for more information about the Fund, visit www.hrsdc.gc.ca/ disability.
Art exhibitions a feast for the eyes
– continued from page 1 has been unmatched for the last 100 years, there was much talk as to whether the unprecedented numbers signalled a recovery for, or the end of the largest salmon run on the planet. With that in mind, the work in the Peak Year exhibition accomplishes a goal of capturing the subject in a way that illus-
trates the event and is emotionally driven and passionate. Peak Year is a unique opportunity to celebrate the diversity as well as the duality of fragility and strength in our natural world. Members of the Courthouse Gallery Artists Co-operative are also running with a salmon theme. Run Salmon Run is a salute to the
same spectacle with new works by members featured in the gallery store. An opening reception will be held Saturday, September 8 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Both galleries are open Tuesday through Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Admission is by donation. Jody Tippett

The Grey Cup travels in a most Canadian way The Canadian icon that has inspired so many pilgrimages is embarking on its own: the Grey Cup 100 Tour will take Canada by train this fall. “The Grey Cup really belongs to every Canadian, so our goal for this special year of the 100th Grey Cup game is to bring it to as many cities, towns and Canadians as we can,” said Mark Cohon, Canadian Football League commissioner. “And we are doing it in a way that will make Canadians proud, and in a most Canadian way possible: by train.” The Grey Cup 100 Tour will make over 100 stops across Canada.

When our daughter was five years old we were living in an apartment with only one bathroom. One day as I was finishing my bath she had to go potty - now! As I was toweling off she sat on the potty and I could tell that she was trying to figure out something. Finally she asked me that fateful question: “Daddy, mommies and daddies are different, aren’t they?” I decided to handle it in a straightforward manner and answered, “Yes Joy, they are.” She got a really proud expression and boasted, “I knew that already cause mommies shave their legs and daddies shave their faces”. We didn’t get back to that particular subject for several more years!
