Remembering our veterans in need In the winter of 1918 Moina Michael visited wounded and sick men from her home state in the US who were hospitalized and wanted to find what she could do for them in addition to the medical care they were receiving. With the return of thousands of ex-servicemen, Moina realized that there was not only a need to honour the memory of those who had died in the service of their country, but also a need to remember that those who were returning also had mental, physical and spiritual needs. Learning about their needs first hand inspired the Memorial Poppy idea. She thought it could be developed and used to help all servicemen who needed help for themselves and for their dependents. By the early 1920’s, she had all but given up hope that the campaign would ever pick up, despite her committed efforts but a number of organizations adopted the Memorial Poppy campaign and the rest, as they say, is history. There has been resistance by some businesses to support the Poppy Campaign in recent years, with excuses from not having enough counter space to doubting the validity of the campaign and if Canadian veterans actually benefit from poppy sales. Proving the importance of supporting the Poppy Campaign by purchasing a red poppy pin from any of the trays found just about anywhere
prior to Remembrance Day by donation was not difficult. Ethel Middleton and Cathy Dickson are both volunteers with the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans (AnaVets) Ladies Auxiliary Unit 290 and have been visiting hospitalized veterans for over 20 years at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH). Every Wednesday afternoon between 12:30 and 2:00 pm these dedicated volunteers go to every ward at RIH and visit every patient in care, asking each person if they are a veteran of the Canadian Army, Navy, Air Force or RCMP. Generally, they encounter about a dozen patients per visit who have served and devote their time and resources to visiting each one and listening to any problems or concerns they may have. Patients in need are referred to Service Officer Randy Williams to address and provide assistance where he can so that our veterans are not forgotten. “It is such a gift to see the joy on their faces when we visit.” Shared Ethel, “It makes them feel like they are still valued and not alone.” At the end of their visit, the AnaVets Ladies Auxiliary volunteers leave a piece of chocolate for them. It is a thank you gift for their service and although the candy is small, it represents something much AnaVets Ladies Auxiliary 290 Club members Cathy Dickson and Ethel bigger; comfort and respect. That Middleton volunteer at RIH. Cathy has been doing this for 20 years, a tiny but significant gesture is one member for 30 and with the legion for 40. - continued on page 2

Overlanders Bridge re-opens on schedule After six months, the Overlanders bridge re-opened to four lanes of traffic on October 31, as originally scheduled. During breaks in the weather on Friday and Saturday, the contractor, Innovative Civil Constructors Inc. (ICCI), used blowers to dry the bridge deck in order to install the last of the waterproofing membrane, prior to final paving. Line painting will take place soon, followed by the installation of rubber seals on the bridge joints which, in addition to protecting the joints, should also help dampen the noise as vehicles travel over the joints. All this work will be completed at night. “ICCI and the project team did a phenomenal job completing this project. Everyone involved with the bridge project did a great job, including the flaggers from Alliance Traffic Group. We heard nothing but good things from the public about their friendly and professional attitudes,” says Darren Crundwell, Capital Projects man-
ager. “We know that this project impacted a lot of people on a daily basis, including commuters and businesses. While the work had to be done, we really appreciate the patience that most people showed throughout the project.” “Our goal from the beginning was to be as transparent as possible about the project and the potential impact to commuters, businesses

Police warn of active CRA scam
Kamloops RCMP is fielding several calls daily from the public who are being contacted by individuals claiming to be with Canada Revenue Agency. Kamloops RCMP is hearing of instances where contact is either by phone or email. The fraudsters are indicating that there was an error on a tax return, that taxes are owed, and that if they are not paid a warrant of arrest will be issued. In a few cases the caller states that there is a refund owed and all they require is a bank account number. None of these scenarios are legitimate and police are urging callers to hang up, and certainly do not provide any personal information. If you have any concerns about your Revenue Canada Account, please initiate a call to them yourself. In most of the cases, citizens are con-
tacting the police to let them know they’ve received the call, but did not provide any details. Unfortunately there is little that can be done to trace the numbers these are coming from, as they are using internet phone services from locations overseas. However, there are current investigations underway where individuals have been scammed through other means of contact, via the internet. In these cases, a rapport has been established through internet contact, and eventually individuals are persuaded to send funds, for a variety of reasons. Police caution people against sending personal information or funds, for any type of investment or exchange, to someone who they have never met, or to a contact who they cannot confirm is legitimate.

Solar project ready for launch The newly renovated West Highlands Park Community Centre will soon be home to the largest solar project in Kamloops history. Installation has begun on a roof top solar array at the centre that will harvest 27,600 kWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the electricity used by 2.5 average BC households. The City of Kamloops (COK) applied to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for funding through the Community Energy Leadership Program (CELP) and was awarded a grant of $30,855 to cover a maximum 33 per cent of total project costs. Council authorized administration to use $42,645 of funds from the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program plus $20,000 from the West Highlands
Park project budget for a total project expenditure of $93,500. The 24 kW solar arrays will generate an estimated $2,961 of annual revenue, providing a return on net investment of 4.73 per cent, when the CELP grant is taken into account. The system will be net metered so that when it generates more electricity than is being consumed, the City will receive a credit from BC Hydro that will be applied against future electricity use.

Travel numbers up at Kamloops Airport Kamloops Airport has announced the traveler numbers for the month of September and year-to-date as compared to the same period in the previous year with an increase of 6.2 per cent in monthly travelers and a 2.5 per cent increase in year-to-date travelers. Tourism travel continued to lead the way in September due to the lower Canadian dollar as compared to the US dollar. All routes to and from Kamloops are performing well and all are contributing to the increase in year over year numbers of travelers. Kamloops Airport, with the assistance of Transport Canada, has completed the reconstruction of 6,000 feet of its main runway. The project was completed on time, on budget and has met all design requirements. No impacts on flight operations were noted.

New funding for visitor services A new, three-year based funding model for the community visitor services centre in Kamloops will ensure a more stable and predictable funding and allow for greater flexibility and innovation. Destination BC, the province’s industry-led destination marketing organization, has announced the three-year base funding model for the 108 community visitor centres it helps support following extensive consultation with the community visitor services centre network. The strategy includes a new minimum base funding of $10,000 annually for the next three years for small and rural community visitor centres as well as an innovation fund available in 2016 to assist communities with projects that help them adapt to the changing needs and expectations of visitors, including through the use of technology. This is a positive increase for rural and small communities across BC and acknowledges
their ongoing contributions to the tourism industry. “Whether it’s a sporting event drawing athletes to Kamloops, or a breathtaking hike drawing outdoor enthusiasts to Wells Gray Provincial Park, the tourism options in our area are endless,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “This new, stable base funding will help ensure better long-term planning for our communities.” In 2013, the tourism industry generated $13.9 billion in revenue and a direct contribution to BC’s gross domestic product of $7.3 billion, accounting for four per cent of the province’s total GDP. In 2014, there were almost a quarter of a million (234,079) more visitors coming from outside the country than in 2013, which is a 5.3 per cent increase.

And still the poppies blow
During the early days of the Second Battle of Ypres a young Canadian artillery officer, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, was killed on May 2, 1915 in the gun positions near Ypres. An exploding German artillery shell landed near him. He was serving in the same Canadian artillery unit as a friend of his, the Canadian military doctor and artillery commander Major John McCrae. As the brigade doctor, John McCrae was asked to conduct the burial service for Alexis because the chaplain had been called away somewhere else on duty that evening. It is believed that later that evening, after the burial, John began the draft for his now famous poem “In Flanders Fields”. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Keifer Sutherland narrates CBC series on Canada’s health care system Canada’s health care system is one of the most beloved, maligned, and hotly debated institutions in Canada. Imagine having an insider’s view of the system from coast to coast, in one day, through the eyes of patients and caregivers. Narrated by Emmy Award-winning Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland, CBC’s new factual series Keeping Canada Alive gives viewers an unprecedented look at the health care system and the powerful emotional stories that take place within it. Over a 24-hour period on May 6, 2015, 60 camera crews descended on more than 40 health and home care locations in 24 Canadian cities to capture a six-part, one-hour television series highlighting 36 emotionally charged and highly intimate stories – from a three-month-old baby having a hole in his heart patched to a terminal cancer patient receiving end-of-life care. “Our production crew was granted unprecedented one-day access to our health care system, a system that impacts every single Canadian at some point in their lives,” says John Ritchie, chief creative officer,
Force Four Entertainment. “It is our privilege to give Canadians this never-before-seen snapshot of the moving stories of health care professionals and patients that make our health care system beat in a single 24-hour period.” “The CBC is proud to bring audiences this groundbreaking series that is big in scale yet offers a very intimate and revealing portrait of all that our health care system does in a single day,” says Jennifer Dettman, executive director, Unscripted Content at CBC. “This show will inspire a national conversation about the institution that touches our lives from the moment we’re born to the moment we die.” The companion online experience, which can be found at cbc. ca/keepingcanadaalive, is one of the most ambitious to date and features almost 40 hours of extended breakout footage, original content, and more. Keeping Canada Alive airs Sundays at 9:00 pm on CBC. The innovative online companion expands on many of the TV series’ stories by giving more

The Rider
After a round of golf, four ladies sat around the clubhouse, chatting. Seeing the ladies, the Pro approached them and asked, “How did your game go?” The first lady said she had a good round... making the comment that she actually had 25 riders. The Pro was a bit perplexed not knowing what a ‘rider’ was. The second lady quickly
chimed in and said that she had a very good round as well with 16 riders. The third lady then said that her round was average and that she only had ten riders. The fourth lady admitted that she played the worst round of the day and that she only had two riders all day long. The Pro was completely confused not knowing what the term

‘rider’ meant. But, because he didn’t want to look dumb, he made a quick polite remark, wished the ladies well and then left. He then approached the bartender and asked, “Hey, can you tell me what these ladies are talking about when they refer to ‘riders’?” The bartender simply smiled and said, “A ‘rider’ is when you hit a shot long enough to ride on the golf cart to your ball.”

A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?” The trembling monkey says, “You are, mighty lion!” Later, the lion confronts an ox and fiercely bellows, “Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?” The terrified ox stammers, “Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!” On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?” Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times leaving the lion feeling like it’d been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomps on the lion till it looks like a corn tortilla and rambles away. The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant, “Just because you don’t know the answer, you don’t have to get so upset about it!”

In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid. 4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this. 5. Flush the toilet three or four
times. This provides a “power wash” and “rinse”. 6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door. 7.

A fishy tale A man calls home to his wife and says, “Honey, I have been asked to go fishing with my boss and several of his friends. We’ll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I’ve been wanting so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We’re leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! Please pack my new blue silk panamas.” The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish? He says, “Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Bluegill and a few pike. But why didn’t you pack my new blue silk panamas like I asked you to do?” “I did, they’re in your tackle box.”

North Shore echo
November 4, 2015 n 15
echo stargazer Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don’t stop and collect $200. Just pass “go” and keep moving. You have your answers in the way that you needed to receive them. Everything else is talk. And talk is cheap. You’re worth more than that. Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) The office is calling with an answer that you’ve been waiting for. It might start out bumpy but there’s a reason to smile. There’s still a lot of work to be done but energy will begin to fade. It’s time for some “me” time before you burn out. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Normally business minded Capricorns suddenly find themselves in the mood to get out and play. You’ll want to put in longer hours at the neighbourhood bar than at the office but life can’t always be about work. Indulge in an unusual conversation with a complete stranger and love will do the rest. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Your public image steps into the spotlight and it feels like everywhere you go people know your name. There’s positive movement in joint finances with a real chance for success if you can keep the arguments in check. It’s career time. Definitely create your own opportunities, but love is favouring teamwork. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) You’re a creative and free spirit these days but there’s no sense in having all of that fun by yourself. Whether you’re planning a trip or just taking a class in the city, invite a friend along. Love is looking for your smile. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Time to team up and make some money. You’re not in line for anything big just yet but you’re being seen as the go to guy with regards to financial projects. Safely take the plunge knowing the project has a good chance to succeed. Be aggressive but watch for accidents. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) You’ve stepped into the love spotlight and people are noticing. You’re feeling playful and creative but children continue to both frustrate and reward. You’ll find yourself standing behind your partner and going more than half way for love. On the plus side, this love is a keeper. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) Many of you will be moving or sprucing up the house. Family will also take on greater importance but it’s not going to be easy. Expect endless stress to be replaced with a new exuberance and playful ideas. Love is waiting with someone who has always felt like family. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) Well, you’re not exactly going to be the life of the party but you are busy chatting up a storm, networking and studying. The days are busy but you have a new dance in your step and love has found you a new friend. Find time to play and appreciate the new opportunities. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Your themes for the week are personal finances and the home. But not necessarily “home” finances. Things are heating up in the pocket book and you’re standing taller than usual. Don’t overspend on renovations. Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) With all the love currently coming your way, promoting a new project or idea is only a phone call away. Reach out and spread the word. Money will arrive but the work has to be done first. Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) A secret remains under the covers and that suits you just fine. Love can wait as money begins to flow in. Put on your best power suit and show everyone how much you’re really worth. When the opportunity arrives, strike a pose.
