Your neighbourhood. Your newspaper.

Celebrate yourself with a weekend of wellness Once a year, Interior Wellness magazine and the region’s healing practitioners bring the Interior Wellness festival, an event created to inspire health of mind, body and spirit. Having grown out of its humble beginnings, the festival is now a three-day event and is being held from September 27 to 29 at Thompson Rivers University.

“It began as a Yogathon at our Let’s Move Yoga studio six years ago and it just got bigger from there,” explains organizer Elizabeth Beeds, who owned the studio until about a year ago when she passed it on to focus on other things. “It was a simple fundraiser with free classes all day on a Saturday, but people from the healing community started showing up to be a part of it.”

It was around the same time that Elizabeth had created the Interior Wellness magazine, a quarterly publication devoted to promoting the wellness industry in our region, of which she is publisher and editor.

“I have all these amazing writers and advertisers and teachers who contribute to making the magazine possible and I wanted to bring them together once a year so that I could get to know them and they can get to know each other and we can all celebrate.”

Now every year practitioners, teachers and businesses converse

sion it we went, ‘it’s not a trade show, it’s not a wellness show;’ this is completely participatory,” says Elizabeth.

Participatory and accessible – anyone can attend the festival at no cost.

“You can literally be there all weekend long and take things in for free,” says Elizabeth, adding that this was important to her for the same reasons she decided to make her magazine free. “I wanted the community to have a gift.”

The festival is more than a community event; it is also a fundraiser for local organizations. This year’s funds will be donated to The Kamloops Hospice and the local Sustainable Energy Association.

Ways to celebrate Culture Days Kamloops is celebrating Canadian culture with the rest of the country this weekend with a host of Culture Days events.

World Rivers Day is an international celebration of rivers, aiming to increase awareness of watershed issues and the importance of waterways to the communities through which they flow. The celebration provides an opportunity to share information through family-oriented displays and interactive activities, including a shoreline cleanup and a river-themed craft booth.

The City of Kamloops is hosting an event as a part of Culture Days, taking place at Riverside Park by the band shell on Sunday, September 29 from noon to 5:00pm. It will include a discussion and hands-on activities for all ages and will run rain or shine.

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra invites the public to sit in on one of their rehearsals as a part of the nation’s Culture Days. The KSO program “Russian Magic” explores the depth, the heart and the soul of Russian music. Meet the conductor and soloist and get a backstage view of the orchestra.

RAISING AWARENESS

This open rehearsal will take place on Saturday, September 28 from1:00pm to 3:30pm in the Sagebrush Theatre.

The Kamloops Museum & Archives is offering a free, indoor, one-hour guided tour on Friday, September 27 at 10:00am. Meet in the lobby. Admission to the museum is also free throughout that day, as well as on Saturday September 28. What a great opportunity to check out some local history!

The 9th Annual Chapter Show of the Thompson Nicola Shuswap Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists will take place during Culture Days this year. The Show, located at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, features the best of our local chapter artists’ work in a juried show.

Opening reception is Friday, September 27 at 7:00pm. Show hours over the weekend are Friday, September 27 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm; Saturday, September 28 from 10:00am to 5:00pm; and Sunday, September 29 from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The Old Courthouse Cultural Centre is located at 7 Seymour Street West.

Watch or “Sit-In” with the Kamloops Ukulele Circle This spring an informal group of Ukulele lovers made it official and formed the Kamloops Ukulele Circle. Now under the musical direction of Kamloops musician Tina Hebner, the group invites everyone to join them at their first event, a Ukulele Sit-In. On Saturday, September 28 they will perform a concert at St. Andrews on the Square, followed by a jam session where everyone with a ukulele is invited to “sit-in” and play and take part in a discussion about the instrument’s history in Canadian culture. This first gig

was planned in honour of Canada’s nation-wide Culture Days celebrations.

“Canada was one of the first countries in the world to introduce the ukulele to the school system,” says Ray Perreault, an enthusiastic member of the group. “It’s a very democratic instrument. Anybody can pick it up and play it.”

Popping up on television and music videos – whether on shows like Glee or American Idol, or in new music from Eddie Vedder or Walk off the Earth – the ukulele is enjoying a wave of popularity

among amateurs.

“It’s kind of a worldwide phenomenon right now,” says Ray, who is passionate about the instrument’s accessibility and offers his insight into why so many are trying it out and enjoying it so much. “Before records, we made our own music. Then recordings came along and they told everyone to shut up and listen. We got used to being passive listeners, but the ukulele is an easy entry back into making music.”

See for yourself and come watch or even “Sit-In” with the

Kamloops Ukulele Circle from 10:00am until noon on Saturday, September 28 at St Andrews on the Square for a concert followed by a jam. Everyone is welcome, especially beginners. Bring your ukulele along if you have one and if you don’t their will be extras on hand to borrow.

A festival for all

Ray Perreault of the Kamloops Ukulele Circle proved his instrument was easy to learn when he taught Echo staffers Rebecca Stewart and Carrie Harman Frère Jacques in 15 minutes flat.

– continued from page 1 close to my heart,” adds Elizabeth, who clearly keeps this entire festival close to her heart, as well.

The Interior Wellness Festival runs from September 27 to 29 in the Campus Activity Centre at TRU where the parking will be free all weekend. Friday evening things will get started from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, and the events will continue on Saturday from 9:00am to 6:00pm and

Sunday from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

It’s on a bus-route, is family-friendly (there will be face painting!) and is free to attend, encouraging easy access for the whole community. For a complete schedule of the weekend’s events visit interiorwellness. com/Interior_Wellness/Festival_ Home – you may want to have your calendar handy to plan your weekend out so you don’t miss anything!

The City of Kamloops received the Public Works Week – Community Celebration Award during the Public Works Association of BC Annual Conference and Trade Show.

This award recognizes a municipality or region that uses Public Works Week to educate and inform the public about the essential role that public works plays in the quality of community life. The City of Kamloops has approximately 200 staff providing public works services ensuring that infrastructure, facilities, and services are maintained.

The City of Kamloops was also a runner-up for the National Award.

Scaring crows is good creative fun The Kamloops Farmer’s Market and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association are co-presenting their third annual scarecrow contest and invite you to participate!

Get into the spirit of the fall with an old-fashioned scarecrow build. The Scarecrow Making Contest is open to any school, youth organization/facility, neighbourhood group, family or individual, business, office group, in short, everyone!

Get your group together to pre-build and deliver your scarecrow to the Wednesday Farmer’s Market between 8:00am and 9:30am. This will be a great team-building event for groups, organizations, youth groups, and children. Participants are urged to be creative, choosing a theme that rep-

resents their business, club or organization.

The contest does have a few rules.

Scarecrows must be delivered to the event site on the 400 Block of Victoria Street ready to go, between 8:00am and 9:30am on Wednesday, October 2 and they must be picked up between 2:00pm and 2:30pm the same day.

Entrants must supply a small sign displaying the group name and a daytime phone number. Scarecrows must be freestanding or mounted on a stable, moveable surface – a lawn chair works well. You can use any materials to make your scarecrow, but leave valuable items that are part of your scarecrow at your own risk - the scarecrows cannot be guarded at all times.

don’t miss out!

The organizers offer these hints for sourcing materials and ideas: the Horsebarn is a great place to source some straw and the thrift stores are perfect for finding old clothes, hats and props. If you need inspiration, use the Internet and search “how to make a scarecrow.”

Categories will be determined the day of the event and are dependent on the number and type of submissions. Judging will take place at 1:00pm. Prizes will be awarded for winning submissions. All Scarecrows will be featured online after the contest for a final prize to be decided October 31 by online voters. If possible, please pre-register at kcbia.com/scarecrowbuilding-contest if you would like to participate. There is no entry fee.

Stay bear aware this fall

Even though bear related calls are down on average across the province in comparison to last year, WildSafeBC warns residents that the active fall season is about to heat up regarding human-bear conflicts.

Bears are entering a phase of their yearly cycle called “hyperphagia,” a time when they can take in up to 20,000 calories in a single day. It is during this period that they create great stores of fat to make it through their winter hibernation period.

“Garbage, unpicked fruit, bird feeders, pet food, outdoor freezers, and small livestock all become targets for the bears,” Frank Ritcey, Provincial Coordinator of the WildSafeBC program warns. “Preventing bears from accessing these attractants will help to keep the wildlife wild and our communities safe.”

horoscopes

DOWNTOWN echo

Your Horoscope LIBRA (Sept 24-Oct 23) Don’t turn down offers that include sports activities or children. You will meet some interesting people if you attend promotional functions. Rewards for past good deeds will highlight your day. Be careful when dealing with investments.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22) You can make a difference if you’re willing to stand up and be counted. Business trips might prove unproductive.

Romance could be exciting if you are spontaneous. Travel is on your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) You will communicate easily and should be able to accomplish all that you set out to do. Try to be as mellow as possible. Sudden disruptions will cause upset and a change of routine in your home environment. You can enjoy short trips.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Think twice before you say something you might regret later. Be careful when dealing with superiors. Don’t let your partner goad you into wearing your heart on your sleeve. Put your efforts into moneymaking ventures.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) You need to clear up some important personal documents before the end of the year. Minor health problems may flare up if you haven’t been taking care of yourself or have been burning the candle at both ends. You may feel that someone at work is holding you back.

Involvement in fitness clubs will be conducive to romantic connections.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Talk to your emotional partner about your intentions. Changes will not be easy for the youngsters involved. Your interests could lead you down avenues you never realized existed. Trips will be favorable for business as well as pleasure.

ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) You must take care not to overexert yourself if involved in sports. There may be opportunities to attend social functions that are linked to work. Your relationship appears to be stressed out and depleted.

Family talks may get a little combative.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Problems with your partner are apparent. Don’t hold back. Stabilize your own position by locking up your savings. Upgrading at this point is not a bad plan.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Curb the impulse to make lavish purchases and maybe spend some time with good friends. Personal alterations will be in your best interest. New projects may lead you into a dead end.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Go out with friends. Your emotions have been pulled out of shape and you need to do a little backtracking. Don’t bang your head against a wall. It’s time to get yourself back on track LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may want to put everyone to work on a project that will keep them all too busy to complain. Don’t think the worst if you hear something negative about your partner. Try to include friends and relatives in your activities. You are best not to nag or criticize.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) You can make excellent investments if you are in the right place at the right time. You may not want to spend time around family or your home. Situations you can’t change should be forgotten for the present. Verbal abuse may lead to walkouts; don’t make any rash statements you may regret later.
