Set in scenic McDonald Park, the North Shore Business Improvement Association’s (NSBIA) signature production, Overlander Days, is an annual, summer, family event that lends itself to bringing together the diversity of people that live, work and play in the vibrant neighbourhoods and 13 business areas of River City’s North Shore.

The NSBIA has dreamed up lots of activities for all ages to enjoy on Saturday, August 16. Executive director, Steven Puhallo said that the focus this year is lifestyle. “We are continuing to build on our successes and looking forward to celebrating and showcasing 25 years of growth and prosperity in our vibrant community.”

This event encourages residents to get out, connect with others and explore their community. Overlander Days hopes to inspire residents to explore and enjoy the programming presented by cultural institutions, neighbourhood associations, recreation centres and small businesses who want to showcase all that River City North has to offer.

While there’s plenty of parking, you can choose to bike down to the event and take advantage of the secure pedal parking while you linger and enjoy all the sights and activities.

You definitely don’t want to miss out on the popular Tastes of the North Shore. Benefitting Interior Community Service’s (ICS) Meals

on Wheels program, seven local eateries will be serving up their top three menu items to ticket holders.

These aren’t just samples,” notes Steven. “You won’t leave hungry.”

Get to know these amazing restauranteurs, Spice of India, The Crazy and The German, Reubin’s, Jam Can, White Spot, Red Beard Roasters and Gyldi’s Pizza, by purchasing pre-sale discount tickets and receive deals on family and corporate packs. Call ICS at 250-554-3134.

The Seniors VIP Area is a special reserved area for citizens 65 and over. Meanwhile, younger residents can join forces at this buoyant neighbourhood party in the Kids Zone featuring a bouncy castle, face painting, horizontal bungee jump,

play jousting and special appearances by the Enchanted Tea Cup. Steven remarked, “The Snow Queen and her princess sister will make a special appearance, but I can’t tell you more.” He quips, “My lips are frozen.” Kamloops Arts Council’s theatre troupe, the Rivertown Players, will also be on site with their unique children’s improv, music, dancing and theatrical games.

If you feel the need to beat the heat, go for a dip or get wet at the Splash Pad. Steven reminds that admission to McDonald pool is free for the day. He also hinted that he is ready to take a turn soaking up the fun as a willing participant in the Dunk Tank attraction.

Kamloops Business School (KBS) announced the purchase and expansion of PCT Kamloops. PCT Kamloops is a registered and accredited private post secondary institute. Economist Dr. Olutomi Adeyemi is the new principal owner of PCT Kamloops. Olutomi chose Kamloops due to the region’s growth and potential coupled with the city’s strong international connections. Lynda Douglas-Vigor will remain as co-owner and senior vice-president.

While continuing to provide the highest standards of training to students of all learning abilities, the expansion will initially focus on KBS’s continued commitment to being the premier computer and business institute in British Columbia. They will continue to deliver business education through personalized learning for their students.

Their model has provided assistance and support to students to achieve their learning and employment goals.

The KBS emphasis will be to transform the learning lives of their students who come from diverse backgrounds, whether it is a young adult seeking entry into the business world or the mature student pursuing additional training and credentials to remain engaged and productive in their workplaces.

Help is just a phone call away Six months into the new Surveillance Nurse program within Interior Health, remote telephone checks are having a positive influence and helping independent seniors stay at home longer.

“This program is a great example of a simple idea that has a big impact,” said Sharon Whitby, Home Health Practice lead for Interior Health. “The Surveillance Nurses help clients remain in their own homes and avoid hospital admissions. These are great achievements for both clients and the health care system. We know most people prefer to stay in their own home to self-manage when they are able.”

The focus is on stable long-term Home Health clients. Surveillance Nurses phone them to see how they are doing at least once every three months and more if required. Clients may also call the nurse when they have questions or need assistance. The program’s goal is to identify any issues as soon as possible, to help ensure these independent clients continue to do well living at home.

“The regular calls ensure we are being proactive and supporting clients so they continue to be lower needs for as long as possible,” said Whitby. “For example they may need encouragement to increase their activity level, to socialize more,

or to quit smoking. Or they may benefit from other support services,” said Whitby.

Surveillance Nurses are currently located in: Williams Lake; Kamloops; Vernon; Kelowna; Penticton; Cranbrook; and Castlegar. They support approximately 280 clients. As the program grows, they will continue to expand their reach across the health authority.

“The first phone call is usually the most crucial.

It’s quite amazing how quickly we can develop a rapport with our clients over the phone,” said Tina Pole, one of the seven Surveillance Nurses. “We

are able to find out what supports they have from family or friends and how they are going to be able to maintain or improve their health.”

“In the beginning I didn’t really know how this would work,” said Pole.

“Now that I’ve been doing this for a few months, I feel I am making a difference in their lives. Some clients don’t need me as much as another client might, but they really appreciate when I connect with them over the phone. Just knowing someone is checking in on them and is interested in their health makes them feel safe at home.”

“A total of 179 Kamloops businesses were nominated.”

The 29th annual Business Excellence Awards are brought to the community by the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and TD Bank Group. The gala event celebrates the Kamloops business community and highlights 16 award

winners in total (Business of the Year is chosen from the winners of the other 15 awards).

“We want to thank TD for supporting this program,” continued Laird. “We value TD’s partnership and their dedication to our business community.”

The gala awards banquet and ceremony is scheduled for November 1st at the Coast Kamloops Conference Centre. “This is a sell-out event and is a very exciting evening. The media are all invited to attend and all the leaders from the business community will be there,” stated Laird.

The timeline leading up to the gala event is as follows:

August – An independent selection committee, comprised of over 40 business leaders, scores each nominee Early September – KPMG tabulates the scores and informs the selection committee of the top 3 finalists in each award category September 10 – Finalists are revealed at a Chamber function hosted by Kamloops Ford Lincoln September 10 – Awards Gala Tickets go on sale to the public September – Selection committee interviews all finalists to determine award recipients November 1 – Business Excellence Awards Gala at Coast Kamloops Conference Centre

Armed robbery suspect in custody Kamloops RCMP has a male suspect in custody in relation to an armed robbery that took place just after 9:00am on the morning of August 11. Police were called to the Powder Keg Shooters Supply store on Tranquille Road when a male entered the store and pointed a crossbow weapon at a store employee, demanding a firearm. The suspect fled the store prior to obtaining any firearms and departed in a vehicle. As

police continued their investigation into the incident, and were searching for the suspect, a 31 year old male turned himself in to the RCMP Detachment on Battle Street, claiming responsibility for the robbery.

The vehicle involved and the crossbow weapon have both been recovered by investigators. Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Dining out Two men, Jim and John, were walking their dogs when they passed by a restaurant. “Let’s go in and get something to eat,” Jim suggested.

“We can’t” responded John, “don’t you see the sign says NO PETS ALLOWED”.

“Ah that sign,” said Jim “don’t worry about it” and taking out a pair of sunglasses, he walked up to the door. As he tried walking into the restaurant he got stopped at the door, “Sorry no pets allowed.”

“Can’t you see?” said Jim, “I am blind, this is my Seeing Eye dog.”

“But it’s a Doberman, who uses a Doberman as a Seeing Eye dog?” the man asked.

“Oh,” Jim responded, “you must have not heard, this is the latest type of Seeing Eye dog, they do a very good job.”

Seeing that it worked, John tried walking in with his Chihuahua. Even before he could open his mouth, the doorman said, “Don’t tell me that a Chihuahua is the latest type of Seeing Eye dog.”

Thinking quickly John responded in an angry voice, “You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?”

Eddie was just a regular guy.

Except for the fact that he was an only child and the fact that his billionaire father was breathing his last breath. Since Eddie was a soon-to-be billionaire, it only made sense that he should have a woman to share his riches with.

Eddie approached his childhood crush. “Hey Sandra, I may look like a regular guy, but I’m soon gonna be a billionaire! Do you wanna come home with me?”

“Sure thing,” Sandra replied, “I would love to come home with you.”

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Warning to those on diet and exercise programs: this week it is just too easy to break training. If you mean what you’ve promised to yourself, don’t go anywhere in which you would be in harm’s way. It is a time in which you feel more outgoing and extroverted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You may be feeling irritable and a little nervous.

You can’t be sure whether someone significant in your life is really telling you the truth. The probability is that there is some sort of deception present but you might be deceiving yourself. Monitor your inner critic this week. It may be serving up a plate of neurotic guilt to interfere with your attitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) For the next few days you may be feeling a little off, or not quite like yourself. Things improve significantly after Sunday.

There are likely to be favorable activities related to your work or co-workers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 –Nov. 22) You are starting fresh at last. Your energy is harnessed and in true go mode. Your ability to see yourself as successful is one of the prime movers on your goal. Any activities related to work, short distance travel, education, siblings and vehicles has positive aspects.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You want to move forward, but something is holding you in place. You may have trouble putting your finger on what it is exactly. One clue is that the problem holding you back is a belief that has been handed down through the myths in your family of origin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22.- Jan. 20) Your charisma is powerful and you can be at your most persuasive now. Manipulation in order to get what you want is not really necessary. Step aside from such temptations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You are walking a tightrope while you wait for something very important to happen. You want to break free and do your own thing, but the outcome is too serious for you to take flight. Keep breathing deeply and move one foot carefully in front of the other toward your goal.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your intuition and creative energies are high right now. But something keeps you from allowing the muse to manifest through you. As long as you are not trying to prove yourself better than others, you can allow a pure expression of the muse.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is a time to believe your dreams and make that push toward success. Activities requiring strength and/or endurance are favored. A transformation is at hand and available if you will reach for it. Help from those more powerful than yourself may be forthcoming if you ask.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) Beware that you are in a sensitive frame of mind and may misinterpret that which is said to you. You may be the one who hears what you want to hear. So take your impressions with a grain of salt until you clarify what was originally intended.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Things of the past may float up in your mind for reflection. Try to stay on the planet and think carefully before you speak.

If you feel “hurt”, don’t leap to a conclusion before asking what the meaning is of a behavior or a comment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) New information comes to the fore that suggests a sudden change in plans. You will be quite involved in communications or paperwork as a result. By the end of the week you should feel successful for your endeavors. Conditions of home, hearth and family are positive.
