Let us remember veterans on Poppy Day
This Thursday, November 11 take a little time out of your day and head down to Riverside Park for our city’s annual Remembrance Day Ceremonies. An armistice was signed 89 years ago to officially end the First World War. Since then, every year on November 11th at 11:00am, two minutes of silence is observed to remember the sacrifices made by those who have fought to give us and help us keep the freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis. As the generations pass it can be easy for people to forget or dismiss the importance of Remembrance Day and the legacy of all those who fought in the world wars. So make this year the one to get back in touch with our country’s heritage. Alongside the veterans will be many young folk including area Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Cadets whose leaders and guides recognize the importance of staying in touch with the past. “All of our contingents go down to the cenotaph,” explains Barrie Lockton, area commissioner. “Last year about 150 of our 300 youth went down. It is quite a large contingent. We have the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers who are all between the

ages of 5 and 25, and their leaders. It is a pretty remarkable sight.” Scouting in Canada started well before Remembrance Day and the young participants have been taking part in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies since the very beginning. Scouting in Kamloops has had an active group in town continuously since 1911, and they
are about to celebrate their 100th anniversary this spring. “Veterans and Scouts have had NSBIA - lug 1 many a terrific tieNov10 and 2010.indd bond for years,” continues Barrie. “Scouts in uniform cannot raise money for anything else but scouting. They cannot have lemonade stands or sell cookies but they can put on their uniforms and join in on the

First aid volunteers receive Lifesaving Awards St. John Ambulance Lifesaving Awards are to be presented to Wally Makortoff (MFR/OFA 3), Alp Isin (MFR), and Shirley Wellbourn (RN/MFR) for their actions in saving the life of John Sommer after an ATV crash during a race at the Whispering Pines Off Road Race Track located approximately 40 kms north of downtown Kamloops. On Sunday afternoon June 28, 2009 Wally Makortoff and Alp Isin were providing first aid coverage as volunteers for St. John Ambulance Division 518 at the Kamloops Off Road Racing Associations sanctioned races at the Whispering Pines Off Road Race Track. At approximately 3:00pm during a quad race they observed a crash resulting from a racer being thrown at high speed from his quad after the handlebars appeared to have broken, he was then struck by another quad that was following him. The results of the impact left John unconscious with a broken neck and severe head injuries face down in full racing gear on the loose dirt track. Responding to the crash location Wally and Alp immediately took control of the incident, stabilized the patient and started to assess injuries. At this point they requested Shirley Wellbourn, who was in the stands, be called to help assist and 911 be contacted. They provided first aid and packaged the patient using full spinal precautions for removal from the track area via the St. John Ambulance post. During this time John started to seizure, stopped breathing several times, and his breathing had to be assisted. About 40 min-
utes later the BC Ambulance Service, BLS unit arrived from Barriere, BC and the ALS unit arrived from Kamloops, Wally, Alp and Shirley worked along side the BC Ambulance paramedics to prep John for a transport via helicopter to hospital in Kamloops.
John Sommer was in ICU at Royal Inland Hospital in a coma for over week and has since made a remarkable recovery. Due to the extent of his injuries the actions of Wally, Alp and Shirley most certainly contrived to saving his life without causing further
injuries and his remarkable recovery. For these actions Wally Makortoff, Alp Isin, and Shirley Wellbourn are commended for their team work, rapid response and for their knowledge and use of first aid in saving a life.

Boys and Girls Club launches Keystone
Making the transition from childhood to young adulthood is a difficult time for youth as they face choices that could involve risky or dangerous behaviours. Capital One is partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops to launch Keystone, an innovative program focused on the positive development of youth. Focused on leadership, empowerment and community action, Keystone provides youth with an opportunity to develop valuable life skills, participate in new and exciting activities and make a positive difference. The Kamloops Keystone group began in September and since then the participating youth have committed to launching the Kamloops Youth Charter of Rights, supporting local community agencies,
and to creating youth-centered educational tools for Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops’ programs. The Keystone program is built around the specific needs of young people, providing a range of programming options including nutritional education, physical activity, team building, personal growth and social action. “I want to thank Capital One for supporting our Keystone program,” said Renee Gurnsey, director of youth and family support programs at the Boys and Girls Club. “Our program will allow our youth members the opportunity to develop leadership and employment skills while developing meaningful relationships with club staff, their peers, and feeling a greater sense of connectedness to the community.”

SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) Thompson Rivers is a non-profit volunteer organization of business students at TRU that strives to improve the standard of living in Kamloops through community outreach projects. On Hallowe’en they launched their Trick or Eat campaign to collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Kamloops Food Bank. Pictured here are some of the 35 members of SIFE who went door-todoor and collected 1757 items.
Gardengate’s garden project vandalized
Special to the Echo from Angela Veltri, Gardengate activity worker. Upon opening the greenhouse at the Gardengate Training Centre in Brocklehurst on the morning of November 2, the last thing staff expected to see was the senseless vandalism to the property, tools and produce. Open Door Group’s Gardengate Program is a non-profit organic garden project that supports people with mental health conditions with skill development and vocational training. Participants and volunteers donate their time and efforts to operate this threeacre garden, which donates tens of thousands of pounds of produce to local food charities in the Kamloops community every year. The vandal(s) had spray painted the greenhouse walls, benches, wheelbarrows, chairs, tools and even the produce. They littered seeds, straw, string and other supplies, and before they left turned on a water valve and flooded the greenhouse. Maybe the vandal(s) didn’t realize that the participants and volunteers who work at Gardengate start seeding these vegetables in January and spend countless hours watering, transplanting, weeding,
harvesting and processing these vegetables. The involvement of participants and volunteers in this program is about more that just gardening. Or the fact that the 1500 lbs of tomatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins that they destroyed were going to be donated to the Kamloops Food Bank and other local charities that assist people who need and are grateful for these donations. The men, women and children who access these food share programs are member of the
Kamloops community and could be your family, friends, neighbours, co-workers, or schoolmates. The purpose of this article is to bring awareness to the pointless destruction that this vandalism has cost, not only financially, and not only to the staff, participants and volunteers of the program, but to the entire community. We hope that whomever committed this act of vandalism thinks twice next time about the consequences of such an act.
The Kamloops Blazers hockey club will be playing a special floor hockey game against the Kamloops Special Olympics hockey team on Monday, November 15. The game will take place at 7:00pm in the Brocklehurst Secondary School gymnasium at 985 Windbreak St. here on the North Shore. The Blazers hockey club renewed
the rivalry with the Special Olympians last season in a terrific event held at the Brocklehurt gymnasium. All players on the Blazers current roster will be attending this event. Fans and media are encouraged to attend this event and donations to the Special Olympics would be greatly appreciated. See you there!

Diabetes Expo offers info and support! It’s a medical reality that diabetes has reached epidemic proportions throughout the world, and over the next ten years in British Columbia its expected there will be a further 62% increase in the incidence of diabetes. Another sobering statistic is that B.C. has seen the second highest increase in diabetes compared to other Canadian provinces. It’s also important to realize that there are many who are walking around our communities undiagnosed and unaware of the severe medical consequences. On Saturday, November 13, the Kamloops and District Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association will be hosting its third annual Diabetes Expo from noon to 4:00pm at the Alliance Church at 233 Fortune Drive. Registration is at 12noon, at which time the Trade Show opens, with displays from a wide variety of medical and community health organizations.

Terry Lake, MLA for the Kamloops North Thompson Riding, and the newly appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Health Promotion, has indicated his interest in attending to learn first-hand the health concerns of residents.

Blankets for babies
Sound Bodeez offers low priceS everyone can afford, the first visit is always free!
Last month the local Soroptimists group asked members of the community for help in completing their “baby bundles� for moms of newborns, a need that has been identified by the Kamloops Food Bank. They had a goal of ten baby blankets for ten bundles and Kamloops citizens answered that call....loud and clear! The Soroptimists received many calls from knitters who required a bit more time to get their blanket finished. Keep on knitting, as ten more blankets will be needed by next March. They can be dropped off any time at Second Glance Books at 448 Victoria St., or call Carole at 250-372-1974 for pick up. For more information call Shirley Sanderson 250-828-2185. Pictured (L-R) are Soroptimists Faye Fike, Carole Keyworth, and Allannah Yoshy displaying some of the beautiful hand-knitted blankets that were donated. Thank You!
Moustaches for Movember One in six men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 4,400 men will die from prostate cancer in Canada this year. November, also known as “Movember�, is a month dedicated to raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer by growing moustaches and supporting the cause. Thompson Rivers University student Nicole Jelinski, and four male students (Royce Sihlis, Abdallah El Chemi, Hugo Yuen, and Dan Houghton) have created the group “The Moustache Movement� at TRU to spread the word about prostate cancer. This movement is not just for TRU though, as they want to make it a citywide campaign. They have signed up as a team
captain on Movember Canada so anyone can join their team and make donations to the cause online at ca.movember.com. You can also check them out on their Facebook group “The Moustache Movement�. Though group co-founder Nicole cannot grow a moustache to show her support, she shares that she has had both her grandpas go through surgeries and chemotherapy with prostate cancer, and so is closely related to the cause. Thanks to prostate cancer research, both her grandfathers are living survivors and are wearing Moustache Movement shirts to show their support and gratitude!

horoscopes
Your Horoscope SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Don’t be too quick to judge others. You will back yourself into a corner if you are baited and your stubbornness will only make matters worse. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) You may want to invest in something that will grow in value. Take time to deal with authority figures or government agencies. You will have difficulties spreading yourself between your work and your home. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Your ability to dazzle others with your unique and innovative ideas will attract attention. Positive connections can be made if you get involved in environmental organizations. You may be confused emotionally. AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Your need to obtain additional details will lead you into strange topics of conversation. Opportunities for travel and communication are evident. Your determination and stamina will make your work look flaw less and effortless. PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) You will be prone to carelessness that could result in accidents. You could make extra cash through creative hobbies. Take some time out. Try spending the day catching up on any responsibilities that need to be taken care of. ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) Call someone you haven’t seen in a long time. Don’t play on your partner’s emotions. Jealousy may get in the way of a good relationship. Financial limitations are likely if you take risks. TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Take a short business trip if possible. Be careful not to hurt someone’s feelings. Find out what they’re up to, and see if you can pick up where you left off. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Take time to deal with authority figures or government agencies. You should be traveling to that exotic destination you’ve been dreaming about. Rid yourself of that which is old and no longer of use. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your high energy will enable you to enlist the help of those in a position to back you. Try not to be too emotional with those around you. Do your job and then spend some time with family; you’ll be glad you did. Opportunities for romance will flourish through travel.
