Approval for NSBIA renewal in final stages The North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) has been serving the North Shore community for over 25 years. Every five years, their ability to operate in the North Shore has to be renewed and approved by the businesses they work with and Kamloops City Council. Right now, they are in the process of being approved. “There are a couple stages to the approval,” comments Steven L. Puhallo, executive director of the NSBIA. “The first stage is that City Council has to enact a by-law that creates a levy that allows us to have pro funding from commercial property, which is the Local Government Act for BC.” Presently, the City of Kamloops has said yes to enacting the bylaw. The next step is to ask commercial property owners if they still want the NSBIA. “We have had overwhelming support for our mandate. We are incredibly excited,” adds Steven. “Now we are now waiting for City Council for final reading and passage.” City Council still has to

The City of Kamloops is pleased to announce that Hockey Canada has awarded the hosting of the 2014 Four Nations Cup to the Tournament Capital. This Women’s International Hockey Tournament consists of four teams in total representing Canada, USA, Sweden and Finland. A total of eight games will be played at Interior Savings Centre (ISC) next November. This will be the first time these teams will meet following the Olympic Winter Games in February 2014. Kamloops was selected from bidding communities from across Canada. Representatives from Hockey Canada visited Kamloops to tour the ISC and to meet with City staff, the bid committee and the Kamloops Blazers. They liked what they saw and appreciated the support of the
local community. “An event of this magnitude will bring international attention to Kamloops yet again,” says Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar. “Our volunteers, community support and our facilities give us a competitive edge, and we prove time and time again that we are capable of hosting every type of sporting event.” The Four Nations Cup is expected to generate an estimated economic impact of over $500,000 in the community during the weeklong championship. The 2013 event gets underway next week in Lake Placid, NY. The support of Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, the Kamloops Blazers and Tourism Kamloops was vital to the bid. Tickets will go on sale in the spring of 2014.
Epilepsy Support Group Now Available in Kamloops Area For over 14 years The Center for Epilepsy has been dedicated to bringing education, awareness and support to communities throughout the province. A better understanding of epilepsy can help with seizure control and contribute to a healthier life. There are many questions asked by those directly affected by this
condition, especially those who are newly diagnosed. Feelings of isolation, stigma and depression are all too common. The Center for Epilepsy is excited to announce that Kamloops now offers a place for those who feel the need to either share (their experiences with epilepsy), listen (to those who
have faced similar situations), or learn (from those who have gone before them). Sharing with others in a supportive setting can help lessen fears and strengthen confidence. The Kamloops Support Group will meet on the last Thursday of every month, except for December (meetings over the
Restorative Justice week to inspire innovation The City of Kamloops has proclaimed November 17 to 24 Restorative Justice Week. The theme for Restorative Justice Week this year is “Inspiring Innovation.” This theme encourages us to share and draw from leading edge examples of restorative justice as an inspired approach to justice. Restorative justice is a contemporary approach, rising above its conventional justice parameters. Restorative justice practitioners continue to pioneer ingenuity to provide services that meet the dynamic needs of people in all social spheres. The Kamloops Restorative Justice Program addresses crime and conflict in the community by providing the opportunity to repair harm in a safe, respectful environment. Its goals are to give victims a voice, to enable people to see firsthand the consequences of their actions, to offer an opportunity for people learn from lapses in judgement and to provide an effective alternative to the court system. The Kamloops Restorative Justice Program is marking this special week by hosting a breakfast and circle with other local Restorative Justice
Groups including the Secwepemic Community Justice Program, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Restorative Justice Program, Conservation Services Restorative Justice Program and Ministry of Children and Family Restorative Justice Program. Constable Leah Skotnicki, is the program coordinator and there are 17 dedicated volunteer practitioners. Cst. Skotnicki is a true believer in the effectiveness of Restorative Justice and she says that it is heart-warming to see victims and offenders being respectful and supporting each other during and after the resolution. In several instances, she has had the pleasure of seeing friendships develop. Cst. Skotnicki refers to statistical studies when she says that the reoffending rate is low and is delighted to note the increasing community support for the program For more information about the Kamloops Restorative Justice Program or how to volunteer, please contact Cst. Leah Skotnicki at 250-8283064 or email at leah.skotnicki@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or krjp_12@hotmail.com.

Investments in salmon protection Important actions have been made to protect the sockeye salmon in the Fraser River, as it marks the one year anniversary of the Cohen Commission’s report, recommendations regarding day-to-day efforts to protect salmon. Major measures include a commitment of $57.5 million over five years that will help bolster environmental protection in the aquaculture sector through science, an enhanced regulatory regime and improved reporting. 28 projects related to Pacific Salmon in B.C. totaling $1.8 million were approved to support recreational fisheries’ conservation activities through partnerships with community groups. All revenue collected from the Salmon Conservation Stamp, approximately $1 million every year, will be dedicated to the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

A theatre for constructive community dialogue “The messages from corporations tell us hundreds of times a day, what to buy, how to feel, how to perceive and the kind of person to aspire to be. Can we use the theatre to become aware of these messages and to change our relationships to them?” David Diamond thinks so, inviting Kamloops residents to engage in constructive social change through interactive community theatre dubbed Corporations in our Heads. He is the originator of Theatre for Living. His theatre group will be coming to Kamloops on November 22 and 23 for two free performances that will explore an issue unique to Kamloops. The group recognizes that communities are complexly integrated living organisms and the shows here in Kamloops will focus on how strategic messages about the proposed AJAX Mine, designed by the company; health, environmental and community organizations; the media and government influence our social relationships within the family, workplace and the community in profound ways. Glenn Hilke is the show’s
producer. “I decided to “In the end, whether the produce these shows as an AJAX Mine goes through independent, non-affiliated, or not, we will still have concerned citizen.

If you are looking for a fun and rewarding way to give back to your community, maybe volunteering is the best option for you. Love to interact with people and maybe even dabble in some bingo? The Brock Seniors Centre is seeking volunteers! As a valued volunteer, you can choose the level of participation that best suits your interests and availability. The Centre for Seniors Information would not exist without the dedication and donations of time from its volunteers. Brandi Allen, Centre for Seniors information executive assistant, really enjoys working with the volunteers. “The volunteers are my favorite part. We have around 60 men and women who contribute in a variety of different aspects at both of our office locations. Some have a hand in many different things we do,” says Brandi. “The majority of our volunteers are approximately 5o-years-old and up and provide a range of very diverse backgrounds,” adds Brandi. “They have lived their entire lives and have had so many experiences- everything from stay at home moms to working professionals. It is really amazing to hear their stories and learn about what skills they have to share. CSI has always referred our volunteers as the backbone of our organization.” Long-time volunteer and now volunteer coordinator, Leona Whitehead, has been with the Centre since 2008. Her three hours per week soon went up to 30 plus hours. “It is a good feeling you get from helping people, socializing and providing them with available resources and information and to make people feel welcome,” com-

We only ask people to work
three hours a week,” says Leona. The Brock Seniors Centre is located at 9A 1800 Tranquille Road. If you are an individual who is interested in volunteering or want the opportunity to feel the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference, this is the place for you.

Charlene Lau’s exhibit ‘Closer’ examines doorstep wilderness The Kamloops Art Council will present Charlene Lau’s Closer at the Wilson House Gallery from November 19 to December 19. This oil on board and porcelain exhibit is being hosted at 115 Tranquille Road with the opening reception on Thursday November 21 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Many of us are moving chronically away from the wild places on our planet, both physically and figuratively. Just steps from Charlene’s back yard are some of the most pristine and highly sought wilderness areas in the world. Proximity and availability are not issues for her, yet she has often found herself feeling distant and craving a deeper connection to the natural world and its’ rhythms. This work is the beginning of a study and exploration of the wilderness on her doorstep. Moving back to some of her earlier roots as an artist, this summer she carried oil paints
and a panel box out of doors and spent small bursts of time rediscovering her relationship to the world around her with paint. These sustained and highly concentrated sessions enabled her to get much closer to her subject, immersing herself in the energy and elements around her. From these initial portraits she created a small series of porcelain teapots intended to reflect her developing relationship with the wild places around her. Each teapot serves as a touchstone to a place and point in time where she actively engaged with the natural surroundings. Charlene Lau earned her BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art
and Design before completing a degree in education at the University of British Columbia.
Returning to her art practice after five years as a secondary teacher in England and BC has been both challenging and rewarding. Charlene is highly involved in promoting arts and culture in the North Thompson Valley through the local arts council and Wells Gray Gallery, an artist-run gallery, in Clearwater, BC.
One of Charlene Lau’s porcelain teapots inspired by the wild places around her. Take the time to stop and enjoy the rhythm of the natural world, the changing of the seasons and a warm cup of tea.

Last year, over 173,000 seasonal flu shots were provided free of charge to those at risk of complications from the flu. “The World Health Organization (WHO) determines the strains to be included in the annual influenza vaccine based on flu trends worldwide. This year’s vaccine contains three different flu strains that will offer protection against two influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus,” says Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from getting the flu.” The flu is highly contagious and can cause severe complications for those with heart, lung and other health problems. Even if you don’t become severely ill, getting the flu can mean several missed days of school, work and other activities. Many physician offices and

SILENT NIGHTS? STOP IGNORING THE WARNING SIGNS! • Do you hear, but don’t understand? • Does your spouse complain that you have selective hearing? • Do you ask others to repeat themselves? • Do others seem to mumble?
‘‘
I am very happy, I didn’t realize what a difference they would make. I now hear my turn signal in my car, I have turned the car radio down from 9 to 3! I wear them from morning to night. My wife had told me for the last ten years that I needed to do something about my hearing, I now know that she was right. It is just amazing.
