Vote 50 aims to increase voter turnout It’s municipal election time. The TV, radio and internet are ablaze with slogans and ads. For those new to voting, being inundated with so much information can wear a person down and make it tough to vote. So, who to choose, will they listen to you and should you even care? A campaign, led by local resident and TRU alumni Will George seeks to change that. The campaign is called Kamloops Vote 50 and already it’s had a major impact in Kamloops, bringing in residents and businesses alike who support the idea of voting and increasing turnout. In a nutshell, Kamloops Vote 50 is a non-partisan campaign that seeks to raise the voter turnout from its previous 29 percent to a smashing 50 percent and looks to be well on the way. At the end of June it started with the gathering of five community members discussing low voter turnout. Shortly after, a committee of 15 community members was formed, thus the Kamloops Vote 50 Campaign came into existence. The campaign has entered into open communication with the City of Kamloops, Business Improvement Associations, the Chamber, residents, media, and has brought in over 40 local businesses and started the Vote Ambassador Program. The non-partisan campaign

Province-wide psychosis support for youth A new website developed by regional health authorities is bringing together services and tools from across B.C. to help families and young people experiencing psychosis access early assessment and treatment. “We know that psychosis usually begins when people are in their youth – a very critical time in their growth and development,” says David Harrhy, Interior Health’s network director for mental health and substance use. “It’s really important that we can begin treating psychosis early, so that young people can make a successful recovery and move on toward building healthy and productive futures. This website will play an important role.”
The site, earlypsychosis.ca, delivers psychosis information from across the province right to the fingertips of youth and their families. Users can find services available in the Interior and can also access toolkits for dealing with psychosis, a family coping booklet, and information on relapse prevention and stress management, among others. Downloads are available in a variety of languages. In addition to information for families, clients and community supports like teachers and counselors, the site also links to other mental health sites and personal stories. Approximately three per cent of people will experience a psychotic episode at some stage in their life,
with the first episode most commonly occurring in adolescence or early adulthood. Psychosis is a serious condition where the brain has difficulty differentiating between fantasy and reality. Research shows that individuals will struggle for up to two years before they access treatment, due in part, because of the stigma attached to mental health challenges such as psychosis. In addition to the website, Interior Health has a broad range of services that provide support, collaboration, education and mental health assessment. People can access supports by contacting their local Mental Health and Substance Use services.
Vote Ambassadors spread the word – continued from page 1 lenged the cities of Kelowna and Prince George to raise their voter turnout to 50 percent. Both cities have responded and the competition is on. Furthermore, there is a long list of events, including ten mixers with the candidates, going on from now until the election on November 15th. The events can be found on Facebook, the Vote 50 website, local newspapers, airing on the CFJC’s Midday Show
and local radio. So far, they have had a great start but Vote 50 has gone that extra mile. The Vote Ambassador program includes men and women of all ages, which have signed up to help raise voter awareness, through word of mouth, at local events, and with their family and friends. Vote Ambassadors are an active force of over one hundred strong aiding the campaign and its goals to
educate voters. If you would like to contribute as a Vote Ambassador, or find information on the candidates and news updates, you can find all that you need at www.Kamloopsvote50.com Remember, one vote can change everything, shape the future of Kamloops, so vote November 15th!

Call for Special Olympics BC Winter Games volunteers The 2015 Special Olympics BC Winter Games Organizing Committee has announced the sponsors who have signed on to date, and is inviting volunteers and additional sponsors to get involved in this inspiring display of sportsmanship, determination, pride, and joy. Set to be held next February 19 to 21, the 2015 SOBC Winter Games will involve approximately 600 athletes and 200 volunteer coaches from around the province coming together here in Kamloops. “Special Olympics really focuses on the athlete experience, and we are fortunate that some incredible local sponsors have stepped forward to help us provide an outstanding event for the
athletes and their coaches who will compete here in Kamloops,” says Pat Davis, 2015 SOBC Winter Games chair. “We’re so grateful for their support and welcome others to get involved to help make these Provincial Games a memorable and empowering experience for everyone involved.” The athletes will be competing in the seven SOBC winter sports: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, floor hockey, snowshoeing, and speed skating. The curling, figure skating, and speed skating events will be hosted at McArthur Island Sports and Events Centre, and floor hockey events will be held in School District #73 schools. The alpine skiing,
cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing events will be hosted at Sun Peaks Resort. The Games will kick off with the Opening Ceremony on the evening of February 19 at the Tournament Capital Centre, where all the teams will get to march in proudly and be welcomed to Kamloops. The Games needs approximately 1,000 people to help bring the event to life, contributing through
everything from sport roles to food services where they get to talk directly with the athletes and hear their pride in their Games achievements. Everyone who meets Special Olympics athletes gets hooked on how inspiring and fun they are to be around – so Kamloops volunteers are invited to come out and get hooked. Online volunteer registration and printable registration forms are available at sobcgameskamloops.ca.

Sometimes companies’ marketing of their services ranges from little white lies to blatant false advertising. Hmmm… lies on both accounts.
A very bad day, indeed. A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio while his wife was inside working in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house. The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the hospital, the wife up righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet. The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home.
After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance. The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out. He fell down the remaining steps and broke his arm.

Endearing signs of aging “Sugar, why don’t you sit down by the table and we’ll start supper.” said Dorothy to her husband of 50 years. “Sure thing,” said her husband settling himself down. “Now darling, would you like the soup first or the salad?” questioned Dorothy. “Umm I guess I’ll take the soup.” he responded. After a whole meal of one endearing term after another, their guest Bob couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer. Bob snuck into the kitchen and asked, “Dorothy, do you always talk to your husband like that?” “Bob, I’ll be honest with you,” Dorothy replied. “It’s been five years now, I just can’t remember his name and I am just too embarrassed to ask him!”
The price of a double dare One day, a very rich man announced at a party that if any person present dared to swim across the swimming pool, which has more than twenty crocodiles, he will be awarded with either half of the rich man’s property or his beautiful daughter. After a period of silence, the rich man saw a young man splashed into the pool swimming as fast as he can, with all his efforts, saving
himself from the crocodiles. At last, he survived through the pool. Everybody started clapping. The rich man was overjoyed with the young man’s bravery. He congratulated him and then asked, “What do you want, my property or daughter?” To this, the man replied, “Sir, neither I want your property, nor your daughter, I just want the man who threw me in the water.”

KAMLOOPS CIVIC ELECTIONS NOVEMBER 15, 2014
ABOUT ARJUN: Kamloops City Councillor, 2005-2008, 2011-2014 Director, Union of BC Municipalities MA, Professional Communication Property Manager, Sabar Investments Full platform at www.yourkamloops.com 250-574-3509 | arjun@yourkamloops.com Authorized by Cam Rauschenberger, Financial Agent for Arjun Singh, 250 819-5033
Hello, I am running for school trustee in the upcoming Civic Election. I am a retired school principal. If elected, I bring with me four important attributes:
Experience, Enthusiasm, Dedication, and Time. Experience: with a thirty-five year career in education, I have an excellent understanding of the school system. Enthusiasm and Dedication: you can be guaranteed that I will always give 110% at everything I take on. Time: being retired I have the time necessary to ensure all of my trustee responsibilities get my fullest attention. This is an exciting time in education. With contracts now in place, it is a time when all members of the educational community can work as a team to ensure our young people get the best education possible. I want to be part of that team! So, on November 15th:
For the past 12 years your favourite neighbourhood newspaper has woven its way into the fabric of our community. October 2014 marks the 12th anniversary of Edge Publishing and Echo newspapers. This celebration is a bit different than ones past as the folks at the Echo are watching a new chapter begin to unfold. Longtime publishing world professional Jack Bell joins the team to bring a new and fresh skillset to help lead the Echo and Edge Publishing into its next decade of success. “I am excited to be able to join such a strong, creative and dedicated team,” says Jack. “I am excited to be able to help keep the good news flowing in our community,” he continues. “We have so many stories to tell and I am proud to be part of the vehicle that makes that possible.” Jack has an extensive publishing background working in many different facets of the publishing industry including stints with Bantam Books, Random House and local area newspapers. Echo Newspapers are about so much more than regular news sources. They help tie our lives together, they really are the fabric of our neighbourhoods. Everyone has a story to tell and the good news format is what everyone enjoys reading. The story of the birth and success of the little paper that everybody loves is almost as exciting as the stories of our own lives. When the Echo first came out twelve years ago no one had any idea what an impact giving people good and refreshing news would have. The good news newspaper, born out of a passion for the community and a way for people to share their lives
and get to know their neighbours, was something that people instantly fell in love with. “We knew that the people of Kamloops were what made Kamloops such a great place to live and we try to promote that every week in the pages of the Echo,” explains founder of the paper Wenda Noonan. “Our vision was to connect our neighbours and our neighbourhood; twelve years later that vision remains.” In the early days, the Echo was a home-based operation with the founding duo doing absolutely everything from finding content, getting editorial, producing the paper, selling advertising, printing, folding and delivering the paper. They worked through obstacles, had more than one printer breakdown and many a sleepless night was followed by an early morning delivery. With all the changes and growth that has come in the last decade, one thing always remains constant and that is the uncanny ability for the paper, both Downtown and on the North Shore editions, to be able to bring us together and help to spread pride throughout our community. So many great things are happening all the time and so many of us have stories to tell. The Echo was built on that exact idea; to showcase all the good in our communities and share it with those who care most – your neighbours, your friends and your customers. Says Jack, “Cheers to the Echo for turning twelve and cheers to you, the community for being the catalyst that gets us to work everyday. We find ourselves extremely fortunate that you let us into your lives every week.”

Reading with Native author The TNRD Library System is hosting a reading and discussion led by Aboriginal author Frank Christopher Busch on Saturday, November 1 at 2:00pm, at the Kamloops Library. Busch will be reading from his debut novel Grey Eyes. Frank Christopher Busch is a member of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in northern Manitoba. Christopher honed his writing skills while working at a law firm during the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement, when he interviewed hun-
dreds of survivors and wrote their stories for their claim against the federal government. According to Christopher, he wrote Grey Eyes in response to the message he received over and over from residential school survivors: “I just want my culture back.” The event is free, but space is limited, so please contact the library to reserve a spot.

Hungry goats head to Pineview Valley After munching away on noxious weeds in the Dallas-Barnhartvale Nature Park, Kenna Cartwright Park, and the Tournament Capital Ranch in Raleigh, Kamloops’ famous weed-eating goats will be moving on to City-owned portions of green spaces and wetlands in Pineview Valley. They will have been there as of October 25. The City of Kamloops continues to use the goats of Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control for controlling weeds as part of the City’s invasive plant management program. The selected sites at Pineview Valley are difficult to manage by other means (hand-pulling, mow-
ing, herbicides) due to topography, sheer size, and proximity to water. Come and see the goats in action! Please note that all park users with dogs must keep them on a leash in target areas.

echo stargazer Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) This might be a tough week. Hidden feelings, relationships, and shared secrets to come to light. Your friend has something they want to tell you. Hint.. Someone secretly has a crush on you! Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) It’s been hectic in love and you haven’t taken care of yourself. Go for a long walk and think of ways to streamline your day. Freeing up time helps your chances in love. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) The Full Moon draws out your hidden talents, creative nature and you’re frisky! Why not get out and have some fun? You’re normally reserved and focused on your goals but this week love is attracted to your playful side. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Unexpected news arrives at home. Renovations are now in order as you prepare for that home based business. Family issues are pushed forward. Go easy on everyone. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) You’ll want to show your friends how much you appreciate their support. Get out with the group and advance your dreams. Social networking is the key. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Double check your finances as you might have more hiding than you thought! You’ve been almost heroic lately at work but not feeling appreciated for your efforts. Ask for more but don’t get carried away. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) The full moon will affect you and Scorpio the most as it aligns with your personal identity, ego drives, and personal relationships. Something you’ve wanted to keep a secret comes out. Tread lightly. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) You’ll feel reclusive and mentally “in the clouds” but the time away will recharge your mood. A positive new cycle begins focusing on your daily routine and physical health. Channel your extra energy into something sporty and naturally lighten your thoughts. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and lose touch. But, it’s through our friends that we prosper and continue to grow. Say hello and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Reconnect and return some love. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Watch out at work! Something will be revealed publicly affecting your career. You could get that promotion you’ve been waiting for or hidden enemies could spell your downfall. Be careful. Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You’ll begin the week with money on the mind but that changes to your personal philosophies and a broader picture of how you’d like to live your life. You’ve seen the light and a glimpse into your future. Make it come true for real. Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) You like to be on the winning team and you don’t always care how you get there but a joint venture is going to surprise you. Watch the fine print in all business dealings and your hard work will continue to be rewarded. Astro-week Sonnyscopes courtesy of Collin Sonny Rosati, Vancouver Astrologer, Hypnotist.
