Since the dawn of time, animals have lived alongside mankind and have played an important part in our wellbeing and growth. They provide companionship, work for us by hunting, herding and acting as seeing-eye and helper dogs and perform many much needed duties. They sniff for bombs, detect drugs crossing international borders, have the ability to find people caught in avalanches and find missing children. As pets, animals can provide unconditional love and companionship. In our families animals are indispensable. They are friends, protectors and pets to our children. They give us the utmost respect yet we as humans do not return the favour when it comes to over population and unwanted animals. This is where the Society for • Plumbing & Drain Services the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Furnace Repairs (SPCA) comes in.

I have a long history of caring for animals as well as volunteering at shelters, and have adopted two kitties from the Kamloops SPCA. I donate to the SPCA monthly as well, but hope to raise $2000 or more with this fundraiser, which would be a significant contribution to help the animals that are still looking for families of their own. The fundraiser event on Wednesday, June 22 at the Band Shell in Riverside Park will be open to everyone (not just women), and will be a similar mix of fun fitness and alignment-based yoga as my regular camp. There will also be lots of prizes given out, including three months of the yoga boot camp for free!” Katrina hopes to get more than 150 people down to Riverside Park to enjoy her inspirational class as well as raise some much needed funds for the SPCA.

The City of Kamloops watches the levels of the North and South Thompson Rivers very closely every year at this time. The City prepares for the rise in river levels by monitoring the snow pillows and the melt in the region as well as current temperatures and precipitation levels. The City analyses the river levels by measurements taken throughout the Thompson watershed and posts the river levels taken from the Overlander Bridge on its website at www.kamloops.ca/riverlevels.
The City has a three-stage response to flooding which include a number of activities: Green stage (river level up to 342.7m): City staff inspect river banks, dykes and emergency berms, lower elevation storm sewer outfalls are sealed and required resources (i.e.: sand and bags) are made available. The walkway from Riverside Park to Pioneer Park under the CN Bridge is blocked as a safety precaution; Yellow stage (river level
342.7m to 343.8m): More frequent inspections, emergency road berms are installed (as required) and additional storm sewer outfalls are sealed; Red stage (river level 343.8m and over): Inspections are increased as required (including weekends), and public boat launches are closed. The City has sand and bag stockpiles for residents to use free of charge and can be picked up at the Public Works Centre or any Fire Hall Station.

Coach wrestled into retirement NorKam Secondary School has recently given special recognition at their year-end athletics banquet to Brian Dick. Brian is one of the long-time teacher coaches who is retiring from NorKam. Brian has been the head coach for NorKam’s wrestling team for the past thirty plus years! Although he is retiring from teaching this year, he still plans on coaching wrestling at both the school and club levels. He has also been consistently involved in coaching and sponsoring the boys and girls rugby teams. He is a coach who helps student-athletes identify their dreams and achieve goals. Brian consistently presents a positive image of coaching and shows respect for officials, opponents, athletes and parents. Brian has always recognized that school sport is an extension of the classroom with resulting ethical and moral obligations. He exemplifies everything that is positive about school coaches, school coaching and the spirit of coaching, and has made an outstanding contribution to student-athletes and sport development. Brian not only imparts sports skills, assists students in the development and appreciation of fair play, but he also understands the concept of teamwork and works hard in instilling a vital sense of self-worth to his students. He also mixes

Annual mini soccer festival goes wild It has been an annual event on the youth soccer calendar for many years, but this year the annual Kamloops Youth Soccer Association Mini-Soccer Festival had a new name. The Festival, which took place in early June at various parks around the city, and is now known as the Errol Wild Memorial Mini-Soccer Festival. It involved a total of 145 boys and girls teams in the Under-5 to Under-10 divisions. In September of last year, the KYSA board of directors decided to name the Festival after one of the pioneers of the sport in Kamloops, Errol Wild, who died of heart failure at too young an age, 49, in August of 2009. Wild was a man whose passion for the game and dedication to the welfare of soccer in Kamloops,
both at the youth and senior levels was extraordinary. Each team in the Festival played three or four games over the weekend in a “tournament-like” format, except scores were not recorded
and there was no silverware to be won at end. It’s all about playing for fun. There’s no pressure that comes from having to earn points toward standings and no bragging rights at stake.
Apply to coach youth rep soccer Prospective coaches who would like to put their name forward to coach one of the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s (KYSA) Rep teams in the 2012 soccer season have until June 15 to submit their application. The application deadline is earlier than usual this year, as the KYSA is moving its 2012 Rep team tryouts to mid-July rather than the usual time of late August. Ideally, head coach candidates
will possess a minimum Community Coach-Senior coaching certification and will have a sound knowledge of teaching the rudiments of the game. However, a combination of lesser coaching qualifications combined with experience as an elite level player and/or coach, will be considered. Application forms can be downloaded from the KYSA web site at www.kysa.net.

Walter Used To Eat Frozen Dinners Alone
North Shore echo
The stages of fatherhood
4 years of age - My daddy can do anything. 8 years of age - My dad knows a lot. 12 years of age - My father doesn’t really know quite everything. 14 years of age - Naturally, father doesn’t know that, either. 16 years of age - Father? he’s hopelessly old-fashioned. 18 years of age - That old man? She’s way out of date. 25 years of age - Well, he might know a little bit about it. 35 years of age - Before we decide, let’s get dad’s opinion. 45 years of age - Wonder what dad would have thought about it. 65 years of age - Wish, I could talk it over with dad.
Doctor on the next green Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company t Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.

you’re putting?” “Don’t worry dear” says the husband “they found a doctor on the second hole and he’s coming to help you.” “Well how long will it take him to get here,” she asks feebly. “No time at all” says her husband. “Everybody’s already agreed to let him play through.”
