Celebrating being a woman The Wilson House Gallery, in partnership with the Kamloops Arts Council, has a unique and moving exhibition that is on their walls until June 26. Women in Bliss is a visual story of the women of Kamloops By Jen Sheeley and Amanda Barker. The North Shore Business Improvement Association’s administrative coordinator Mary Ellen Grant is pleased to have the show in the gallery. “I like the fact that both women bring different perspective from their life story to bring out the emotions of the strengths of women,” comments Mary Ellen. “It is a visual story of the many strong women in Kamloops. The emotions and strengths that they have are intriguing. It is a mosaic and all the photos have different frames. It is a really neat story they tell.” The intent of this exhibit is to capture and communicate, through visual images, the varied and authentic ways by which women experience and live their bliss. It is important that the project reflect both diversity and universality within these personally meaningful activities. The exhibit features local individuals, ranging in age from four to 92, engaged in her identified bliss. Jen and Amanda are the ladies behind this beautiful piece of work. Jen Sheeley is an ever-evolving and self-taught artist. Born and raised in Kamloops, Jen’s long time medium of artistic expression has been mo-

Amanda Barker became a photographer through her work as a doula; she found that being an invisible observer at births was the most natural

way she knew of documenting emotion and events in the most authentic way possible. Amanda has four children and is the director of Boho Birth Collective, a group of five doulas that serves the Kamloops area. Aside from being a photographer, Amanda teaches classes and workshops for pregnant mothers
and birth workers and has created her own holistic prenatal education course. The show began very organically as a chat between two friends over delicious eats at the Noble Pig. “I was out with my friend and I start- continued on page 2

Saving lives
Women wonders
In the past five weeks, four automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were placed in the Kamloops area, increasing the chance of a good medical outcome for residents who may suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. On June 6 at the soccer fields along Singh Street an AED demonstration was given by paramedics Karly Jones and Shaun Smith while Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, Health Minister Terry Lake, BC Ambulance Service’s director of Interior Region Paul Swain watched at how easy it was to use.
Make sure measles immunizations are up to date Interior Health’s Medical Health Officer would like to remind the public to make sure their immunizations are up to date. Communities in the Fraser Health region and Alberta have experienced large measles outbreaks this spring. “So far in Interior Health we have only had one recent measles case, but that can change at any time especially with the increase in measles activity that we have seen in other parts of B.C. and Canada,”
says Dr. Parker, Medical Health Officer. “Measles is a potentially severe illness caused by a virus and it is very contagious. The best way to prevent a measles outbreak here is by making sure our immunization rates are high.” Measles spreads easily through the air and can be passed on to others by an infectious person for one to two days before symptoms develop and up to four days after rash onset. Symptoms of measles
include fever, cough, runny nose, and red and inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis). These are followed by a rash, which starts first on the face and neck, spreads to the chest, arms, and legs and often lasts up to a week. If you have any questions about measles, please call HealthLink BC by dialling 8-1-1. If you need to make an appointment for immunization, contact your local public health centre.
- continued from front ed talking about how I wanted to do a series of photos of women,” Amanda says. “Then my friend kept pushing for us to do a show.” Thus Women in Bliss became more than just a passing thought idea about a year ago. From there the two ladies reached out to their friends to see who wanted to be a part of it. “It was a neat process to see what it takes from submitting the application to setting everything up,” adds Amanda. “It was also neat to work with a friend; Jen actually learned how to take photos just for this project. We both had a difficult year and it was nice to celebrate what women already do or have.” If you have been waiting for a truly inspirational art show in Kamloops, Women in Bliss is the show for you. This showcase of local women displays how women are both strong and can live in bliss. “It is neat to see the different activities and moments, which give them bliss,” adds Amanda. “It was about celebrating what women already had because usually women are always trying obtain something. We chose photographs which resonated that moment.” The Wilson House Art Gallery is open Monday to Friday 1:30pm to 5:00pm at 115 Tranquille Road. Please call ahead to ensure the small gallery will be open, 250-376-2411. Ashley Demedeiros

Eco-Blast Kids Camp and concert Can you imagine over 70 kids singing ‘I am the Future’? Or dancing to “Up Your Watershed’? Or creating eco-art masterpieces? Or picking vegetables to make salad for each other? That’s the power of Eco-Blast, a week-long summer camp hosted by the Fresh Outlook Foundation in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. Campers aged five to twelve will learn to connect with nature through song, art and hands-on nature experiences. They will also learn about resource protection and urban gardening from local industry experts. The weeklong camp culminates in a concert showcasing what campers learned and created. Research shows that children who interact
regularly with nature are happier, healthier and more likely to help protect our precious planet than those who don’t. Why then, are children disappearing from the outdoors at a rate that would pit them at the top of any endangered species list? Experts suggest that urbanization is the primary culprit. Studies prove that kids who are disconnected from nature are often isolated, sedentary and reliant on technology for information and entrainment. This ‘nature deficit disorder’ can cause loneliness, obesity, additions to electronic devices and a lack of appreciation for the wonder of nature. But when nature is celebrated through ecoeducation and enhanced through the sensory stimulation provided by music, movement and
creative express, children learn to connect with themselves, nature and each other. In the short term, the outcomes are magical and memorable; in the long term, the impacts are meaningful and momentous. All Eco- Blast activities, therefore, are designed to engage children emotionally through ageappropriate activities that will ultimately contribute to behavior change individually and in families, neighbourhoods and communities. The camp is from August 18 to 22 at the MacArthur Island Boys and Girls Club from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The concert will be at 6:00pm on August 22 at the Boys and Girls Club.

Interior CarShare Cooperative (InCar) is hosting an information session June 18 and is looking for founding members to launch a CarShare in Kamloops. The information session will outline what the steering committee has been working on during this past year and how the CarShare will operate. “The survey we conducted this past February indicated there was enough interest in carsharing in Kamloops to move forward,” says Krystal Kehoe, spokesperson for InCar. “We are now at a point where we need members to signup in order to move forward.” InCar already has a founding memberships paid including their first member Kathy Sinclair, who is a volunteer on the steering committee. “If carsharing in Kamloops is going to happen, it’s going to need an initial group of members who are willing to put their money down in order to get cars on the road,” Kathy says. “I’d rather not own a car. That said, there are times when I could definitely use a vehicle for a grocery run, outing or work errand.” People interested in attending the information session are asked to confirm at interiorcarshare. ca.

Parents these days At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, “Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?” The little boy nodded in the affirmative. “Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?”
The little boy nodded yes. “So,” the coach continued, “when a strike is called, or you’re out at first, you don’t argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?” Again the little boy nodded. “Good,” said the coach. “Now go over there and explain that to your mother.”
While getting my hair cut at a neighborhood shop, I asked the barber when would be the best time to bring in my two-year-old son. Without hesitation, the barber answered, “When he’s four.”

You chew on other people’s fingernails. You can type sixty words per minute with your feet. You short out motion detectors. Starbucks owns the mortgage on your house. You help your dog chase its tail. All your kids are named “Joe”. You name your cats “Cream” and “Sugar.” You get drunk just so you can sober up. You pour coffee on a choking victim because CPR stands for “Coffee Provides Resuscitation.” You can jump-start your car without cables. You forget to unwrap candy bars before eating them. You ski uphill.
You walk ten miles on your treadmill before you realize it’s not plugged in. You channel surf faster without a remote. You’re so wired, your ears pick up AM radio. You can outlast the Energizer bunny. Your doctor tells you, your blood type is COFFEE The only time you’re standing still is during an earthquake. Your eyes stay open when you sneeze. You answer the door before people knock. Your morning cup of Coffee is so strong it wakes up the neighbors! You look at energy drinks and laugh really, really loud!

A great golfing experience... at an affordable price!
GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You may be drawn to review and reminisce over the past this week. Photos and other memorabilia starts the reflective motor. Love life, play, and activities with your children have go signals. Talking and communicating about the past gives pleasure and you may get in touch with someone from a long time ago. CANCER (June 22-July 22) The summer solstice occurs on June 21 this week, as the Sun moves into the sign of Cancer. It is possible that something from your past will suddenly surface and claim your mood. At the solstice we are encouraged to let go of past hurts and take a deep breath of healing energy. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may be pestered by memories of times in which you felt you failed or somehow didn’t meet expectations. Ask why you need to review this now. Is there something to be gained here? VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Your mind and heart are clearly in sync at this time. You are likely at peace with yourself. There is a solid and practical solution at hand and you do not have to quarrel with yourself over it. Activities involving your children and/or other creative products of your being are favoured. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23 If you feel anger brewing below the surface, speak up during a quiet moment of conversation. Don’t ignore it or a sudden and unexpected episode this week may cause you to explode. Your reflexes and reactions may be too quick for your highest good. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 –Nov. 22) There are so many pistons firing in your brain that it must be really hard to concentrate. You have a short fuse. Burn away some of that energy with physical exercise or a project that requires the use of large muscles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Early in the week an opportunity to expand your social life brings smiles. You may be invited to a party or you might meet someone new. This aspect is from Venus, goddess of love and creativity. The muse may be at your side as you produce a particularly creative idea or solution to a problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22.- Jan. 20) Intensity in relationships is the theme of the week. If you are not conscious, you could be pulled into schemes of manipulation or compulsive behaviors. Existing relationships could re-experience the pain of old wounds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be under pressure to follow through and display work that you have been doing since last fall. There is also a sense in which you have become bored with the project. Return mentally to the place you started in order to re-ignite your passion. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) In recent months you have had reason to be concerned for your health. You have worked on your health habits in order to make improvements. Don’t backslide now. ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You have been dealing with a dilemma over recent months. You want very much to manage your own life with few, if any rules imposed upon you. This is fine. However, where does that leave the other people in your personal circle? TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) You are in an especially cordial frame of mind at this time, and likely to invite people to your home, or to share whatever you have to offer. Toward the end of the week you will shake the dust from your feet on a relationship that has nowhere to go. Then you can move on to new vistas.
