Smoke alarms program wraps up

North Shore Road Construction

Erin Felker, Transportation Planner for the City of Kamloops is happy to announce that most of the construction on the Tranquille corridor, started in the beginning of August, will by done by the end of this month. “We are expecting most to be done November 22,” says Erin. “They are madly working away to get things wrapped up. All of the traffic and parking on the street by that date will be good to go,” adds Erin about the BA Dawson construction crew manning the project. There will still be some planting and soft landscaping that will be moved to the spring and some lamp standards put in after the 22nd. “We are very grateful for their patients cooperation and we are looking forward to getting this wrapped up. It is a big improvement on the Tranquille corridor.”

Changes to RIH pedestrian access temporary As site preparation continues for Royal Inland Hospital’s new Clinical Services Building, residents are advised to take note of the following changes when accessing the hospital campus, beginning Thursday, November 7 and lasting for approximately two weeks: · All foot traffic using the main staircase at 3rd Avenue and Columbia Street will be rerouted west to the sidewalk alongside St. Ann’s Academy. A pedestrian

crosswalk will be marked to provide access to the hospital’s front entrance.

• There will be no changes to vehicle access. However, motorists should be aware that lane closures will be in effect to accommodate site excavation.

• Motorists are advised to use extreme caution and to slow down for pedestrians at all times. Please obey traffic signs and yield to flag people.

Regular pedestrian access at 3rd and Columbia will be restored once the current excavation work is complete. Interior Health is aware of the inconvenience this may cause and appreciates the public’s patience as this measure is temporary and necessary for work on the Clinical Services Building, which will expand patient care services at Royal Inland Hospital.

Updates will be provided as new stages in the project are reached.

Kamloops Fire Rescue has seen an excellent response to the Seniors Smoke Alarm Program.

As a result of the successful but overwhelming response to the program, Kamloops Fire Rescue will no longer be accepting requests for smoke alarms. Due to the tremendous response to the program, they have identified that there is a need for a service like this in Kamloops.

Kamloops Fire Rescue will be working hard to explore partnerships and other opportunities to ensure programs like this can continue in the future. For those people who currently have requested the service and have not been contacted yet, they ask for you to be patient, as they received over 300 requests for smoke alarms. It may take some time but they will be in contact with you.

Kamloops Fire Rescue received approximately 315 requests and to date have visited 70 residents throughout the city. From the 70 those homes, Kamloops Fire Rescue has replaced 91 smoke alarms and 66 batteries.

“It is important that we protect the people in our community who are at highest risk from fire.

This program was not just about smoke alarms; it gave the fire fighters the opportunity to meet with the seniors and share other important fire safety tips,” says Dale Mclean, Fire Chief.

Feds give cash for fight against cyber bullying and sexual violence Kamloops MP Cathy McLeod recently announced funding for new projects through Status of Women Canada entitled Cyber and Sexual Violence: Helping Communities Respond.

“Violence against women and girls has devastating and farreaching effects on the community,” says McLeod. “The projects supported by this call for proposals will reduce violence against women and reach out to those who have been affected by such violence.”

“Recent high-profile cases have made cyberviolence and sexual violence against women and girls top-of-mind concerns for Canadians,” states McLeod “Our Government is taking action by supporting projects at the local

level to help prevent these forms of violence against women and girls.”

Applications from organizations will be accepted until 11:59 pm, PST on December 1. For more information on the call for proposals and eligibility requirements, please visit women.gc.ca.

In addition to this new call

for proposals, the Government recently announced in the Speech from the Throne its intention to introduce legislation that will give police and prosecutors new tools to address cyberbullying. This legislation will also create a new criminal offence prohibiting the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.

The Government will also recognize 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence and will mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25, as well as Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women on December 6.

YMCA/YWCA to announce the winner of the Peace Medal - continued from front nity to make a difference in your community. “It is important that we all know that we can make a difference. Sometimes we feel that issues are too large and not in our control. Peace medals prove that we can make a small dif-

ference, big difference or make a difference by bringing people together to make change,” says Darcy. “If many people make a small difference, it creates change. It can be on any scale.”

Stop by your local YMCA/ YWCA location and take part

in Peace Week. Show your support to making change. No matter how big or small in your community. Please visit kamloopsy. org/ for more information or stop by the North Shore or Downtown YMCA/YWCA. Ashley Demedeiros

Snow Angels Program returns to Kamloops Snow Angels are back! And the City of Kamloops is ready to go again after a successful 2012 season assisting seniors (60+) and individuals with mobility challenges with snow removal from their driveways and sidewalks. Last year, the Seniors Outreach Society Snow Angel volunteers assisted more than 170 seniors in Kamloops with snow removal services.

The program goal is to support seniors to continue to live independently in their own home for as long as possible. The Snow Angel program is headed by the Seniors Outreach Society (SOS) and works closely with the City of Kamloops for volunteer recruitment. Currently, most volunteers are City employees, but SOS wants to challenge the community to get involved and support your neighbours.

Last year, a number of Sahali, Aberdeen, Dallas and some North Shore neighbourhood residents were unable to access the program due to lack of volunteer support in these areas. SOS is asking for Kamloops residents in these areas to help fill this gap. To become a volunteer, please contact Harjeet Dhaliwal, Better at Home Assistant at 250-

828-0600 or harjeet@kamseniorsoutreach.ca. Volunteers will be matched with seniors who live in the same area. If volunteers are willing to go out of their area to assist seniors, please let us know and we can accommodate you.

The dedication and effort of Snow Angel volunteers is appreciated and recognized. By volunteering for the Snow Angels program, you make a big difference in the lives of seniors and help in making Kamloops shine.

Take a breath; create the life you want nOV 6

Thru the snow ➜

cold colder ➜

It is hard to slow down in this high demand and fast paced world.

It is easy to lose our sense of self and what our intentions are with life. A local North Shore business has tapped into the inner self; breath integration is a method of counselling that allows self-examination. It is an opportunity to see how our decisions have shaped our lives. As we focus on our breath, our awareness level increases, this allows us to hear our subconscious thoughts, feel the emotions around them and change the belief, creating better results now.

Lynn Aylward had been the co-owner of Breath Integration Counselling and Training Centre (BICTC) with Cory Erlandson for the past five years. Lynn has been involved with the method of breath integration for over 17 years, practicing as a counselor since 2001 and completed her teacher’s training in 2008. Her background is nursing, which she graduated as a Register Nurse in 1983. Lynn worked fulltime as a counselor and bodywork at the BICTC office and also occasionally works in the orthopedic clinic at the Royal Inland Hospital. She works as a counselor for individuals, couples and workshops. She brings her love of people and community into her practice.

Working along side Lynn is Cory Erlanderson who is also a co-owner of BICTC. He completed all of his trainings in Kamloops and has been teaching this method for over four years. Cory facilitates counselling with individuals, couple and groups. He is also a motivational speaker at the office’s Sunday Spiritual Service. He is also the owner and operator of Erlandson Backhoe and Excavating, operating in Kamloops for almost a decade. Cory and his wife Kyla have been married for five years and are the proud parents of their 2-year-old son Jack. He passion is to assist others to reach their personal visions.

The Breath Integration Centre differs from traditional counselling services in that they look at the body as a whole and focus on the breath. “It is holistic, we look at the whole person, physical, mental, emotion and spiritual. We address all four of these dimensions. We

support individuals, couples, families, groups and we also teach people how to become counsellors as we are a training centre,” says Lynn about the unique experience her centre provides to the community of Kamloops.

“It is a very gentle method where you start to look at the beliefs, thoughts and feelings that perhaps you weren’t aware of. We explore how to change that, how to work with it and to let go of something that is not supporting of us in a good way,” says Lynn about the sessions, which range in price from $50 to $120. For a twohour sessions the first hour and a quarter is spent talking about what is going on in your life. “We offer some tools to work with and some insight as to why things are looking the way they are,” says Lynn.

The last 20 or 30 minutes is when the awareness of breath is brought into the session. “ We have you lay down and practice circular patterns of breath which is similar to meditation;” add Lynn.

If you want to feel connected to your true self and want to feel at peace with your life, the Breath Integration Counselling and Training Centre can help you find your path. The counselors are open, honest and loving in their intentions. They are from all walks of life. “They are very passionate and compassionate as

well as we do our own individual work, self examination, makes us a more authentic and unique group of counsellors,” passionately comments Lynn. “We range in ages, gender, ethnics groups and life experiences.”

Sessions are meant to uncover your own inner wisdom. The counselors facilitate your reawakening to yourself. In this busy world, we can forget that we have intuitions.

The breath integration technique allows for us to calm our minds and look deep within. “It is very experiential; it is a feeling you are getting; peaceful and quite in your mind, learning to know yourself.

We get busy in our heads and we forget that we have the wisdom within ourselves,” says Lynn.

Every second Sunday at 10:00am is the office’s nondenominational Sunday Spiritual Service where people are welcome to come and share their spirit with other in a service of celebration. They regularly have guest speakers to help give time for introspection through inspirational words, songs and meditation.

If you are interested in a holistic counseling experience visit Breath Integration Counseling and Training Centre at suite 204-535 Tranquille Road, or call 250-5546707, or visit breathintegrationkamloops.vpweb.ca.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your determination and sheer desire to do your own thing will be successful. Don’t make financial contributions in order to impress others. Be careful not to hurt feelings and don’t trust just anyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) It may be a disappointing day emotionally. Your self esteem will benefit. Friends will be loyal and caring. You will find that you can work progressively at improving yourself this week.

Don’t be too quick to voice your opinion. Listen to others carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You’re in the mood for love. Think of changes to your home that will please and add to everyone’s comfort. If you are in the midst of a financial deal, this is your lucky day. You can raise your standard of living if you pick up some freelance work on the side..

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Extravagance and overindulgence are not a cure if you’re feeling sorry for yourself. Don’t hesitate to present unique ideas.

You can make major accomplishments while on short trips. You could come into extra cash.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Don’t be too quick to judge partners or those you work with. You need to enjoy the company of those who enjoy the same pastimes. Get involved in groups and organizations that are of a distinguished nature. Don’t bother getting even; they’ll make themselves look bad.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Look out for yourself this week. Stay mellow.

You should make special plans for you and your lover. Your mind will be wandering to exotic destinations.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) If you’re single, get out there and you’ll meet someone new. Don’t point your finger unjustly at others. New projects may lead you into a dead end. You need time to put your house in order and sort out what you are going to do about your personal direction..

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You should feel a little more stable about your position; however, don’t be surprised if a job offer comes your way. Do not get involved in joint financial ventures. Take positive action. Listening can be more valuable than being a chatterbox.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Overindulgence may cause conflicts. You’ll be angry if those you live with aren’t pulling their weight. You may want to get involved in financial investments presented to you. You won’t get the reaction you want from your mate this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You need to get involved in groups that offer physical activities. Your diplomatic approach and rather outgoing nature will enhance your reputation and bring you the support you need. Romantic encounters are evident through travel or educational pursuits. Don’t sign up for too many extra activities or you’ll have trouble fulfilling your obligations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A little volleyball or other outdoor sports should be on your agenda. You should get involved with activities that can be enjoyed by both young and old alike. Try not to judge too quickly. They didn’t fully under stand what was expected.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You’ll be able to find the perfect outfit and the greatest new home accessory. Opportunities for romance may develop through dealing with groups that have a purpose. Check your cash flow before you decide to indulge in something that may be beyond your budget. Exaggeration or deception coupled with overindulgence might be a problem.
