Honouring local Rotarians global mission

Bragging rights will be awarded to the winning team of the Rotaract Club’s first annual Beer, Bocce and BBQ Tournament at Hal Rogers hall in Albert McGowan Park on October 4.

Many may think that polio has become a thing of the past and doesn’t pose a threat. Rotarians help countries where it is still endemic and work with the thought in mind that as long as polio occurs somewhere on the planet we will not be free of this disease.

Backed by excellent scientific and technical support to end polio, Rotarians have partnered with a number of other organizations interested in achieving the same goal to collect the resources needed to carry on this initiative until completion.

Rotary began fighting polio in 1979 and has raced non-stop in its or-

ganizing efforts to end the crippling disease all over the world. They have a blueprint for eradication in the last three polio-endemic countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. After the elimination of polio, measles and rubella could be tackled with similar success.

Roger Prestet is the president of the Kamloops North Rotary Club and speaks proudly about his club’s role in the final stages of polio eradication, “We are hosting a Rotary Day in Kamloops. The theme for the day is “This Close” as Rotary is “this close” to eradicating Polio from the world. Our task is 99 percent complete.”

Roger will be appearing at an upcoming City of Kamloops council meeting requesting that October 4 be proclaimed Rotary Day in Kamloops.

A passionate spokesman, Roger comments, “The last part is the hardest. The world today is like a village. As long as one child contacts Polio in the world, no child is safe.”

Rotarians and supporters of the program will be rallying Saturday, October 4 and will host activities including a bocce ball tournament organized by the Rotaract Club. Bragging rights and the Championship Bocce Cup will be awarded to the winning team of the first annual Beer, Bocce and BBQ Tournament at Hal Rogers hall in Albert McGowan Park. Registration begins at 1:30pm. Participating teams are highly encouraged to dress in theme and there are prizes to be won. All proceeds will go towards community projects supported by the Kamloops Fusion Rotaract Club.

“On October 4 we will be marching down Tranquille Road, starting at the Northills Shopping Centre to McDonald Park.” Roger adds, “There will be presentations about polio.”

Thanks to Rotarians and its partners, armed with a global strategic plan and unyielding dedication, the world will see its last case and a certification of a polio-free world by 2018. The Rotarian mantra of “service above self” will have manifested this achievement. Kamloops North Rotary Club has a proud history of deeds both locally and beyond. Thanking a Rotarian on October 4 is but an easy task.

Rotary Club of Kamloops North meets Wednesdays at 5:15pm at the Army Navy and Airforce Veterans in Canada - Unit 290 located at #9 177 Tranquille Road.

MP Cathy McLeod is inviting all living Veterans who served with the Canadian Forces, or with any other Allied force, including the Canadian or British Merchant Navy, either at home or abroad, during the Second World War, to contact her office for a commemorative lapel pin and certificate. “To mark the 75th anniversary of Canada’s engagement in the Second World War, our government announced a national tribute to honour Veterans,” said McLeod. “It is estimated that there are approximately 80,000 Canadian Second World War Veterans alive today.” The design of the commemorative pin and the illustration of the certificate are based on the original “Victory Nickel” which features a flaming torch and a large ‘V’ standing both for victory and the coin’s denomination. “I would like to encourage all living Canadian Veterans of the Second World War to contact my office toll free at 1-877-619-3332 by October 7 to receive the commemorative tribute,” concluded McLeod.

Cool to Be Kind Week is back Interior Community Services (ICS) is taking the lead to spread kindness during the 9th annual Cool to Be Kind Week in Kamloops, October 6 to 10. ICS is inviting the community to take part and make a conscious effort to enhance the lives of friends, family, neighbors and people you haven’t yet met, with a goal of making Kamloops a better place to live and work.

ICS staff in Kamloops, Merritt and Barriere have all been challenged to take part individually, or as a team, to bring kindness to others in each of the communities through acts of kindness. ICS is also challenging Kamloops community

members and businesses to do the same. Small acts of kindness have a huge impact on both the giver and those that receive.

ICS staff will be participating in acts of kindness throughout the week including providing a hot meal and warm clothing to those in need. With the help of generous community sponsors they were able to reach out to over 400 people in need through this initiative last year. Cool to be Kind Week aligns with ICS’ mandate to enrich the lives of individuals and families within the communities they serve.

An appreciation poster board in ICS offices is avail-

able for staff and clients to record the kindness they have received from others throughout the week. Everyone is also welcome to share their stories on the ICS Cool to Be Kind Facebook page (Cool to Be Kind Kamloops).

ICS is accepting donations of lightly used, warm clothing (jackets, toques, winter boots, blankets, socks, and gloves) for men, women and children for this event. Donations can be dropped off at 396 Tranquille Road from October 6 to 8. For more information contact ICS at 250-5543134 or visit interiorcommunityservices.bc.ca.

TNRD achieves carbon neutrality The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) announced at its September 18 Board of Directors meeting that it has been awarded a Level Three Achievement of Carbon Neutrality from the Climate Action Charter. A formal letter of recognition was sent to the TNRD acknowledging this accomplishment.

Climate action is a provincial priority and local governments are key partners in helping to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and create complete, compact and energy-efficient communities. In 2007-08, the TNRD became a signatory to the BC Climate Action Charter, along with 182 other local governments. The TNRD has measured and reported carbon emissions to the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program since 2010, and has taken measures to reduce corporate emissions.

“The TNRD is very pleased to be acknowledged for achieving Carbon Neutrality,” says CAO Sukh Gill. “We are committed to exploring innovative and cost effective measures to maintain our carbon-neutral status with the province.” The TNRD has been working on retrofitting buildings, improving fleet management, expanding recycling and diversion opportunities for solid waste, and incorporating carbon-neutral initiatives into planning exercises, all in an effort to reduce corporate emissions.

United Way, the Seniors Advisory Committee, Keep on Moving, the Centre for Seniors Information, Oncore Services, Community Safety and Interior Community Services will host information booths with great information on services and programs. TC Ambassadors will be available for tours of the beautiful Tournament Capital Centre.

All seniors are welcome for this free and fun event.

Writer shares tales of gambling The TNRD Library System is hosting a reading and discussion led by B.C. author Bob Bossin on Wednesday, October 1 at 7:00pm, at the Kamloops Library. Bob will be reading from his non-fiction book Davy the Punk. Bob’s latest book focuses on his father’s life in the gambling business of the first half of the 20th century in Toronto, as well as his family’s journey from a mid-19th century shtetl in Ukraine to

mid- 20th century Toronto.

Bob has been a renowned Canadian singer and songwriter for 40 years and when he is not writing music, he is usually writing something else. His essays and journalism have appeared in most major Canadian newspapers and magazines. In 2003, he was nominated for a National Magazine Award.

The event is free, but space is limited, so please contact the library to reserve a spot.

French collection boosted

The TNRD Library System has recently increased its French collection, thanks to the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Regional District of Nanaimo and the Canada-British Columbia Cooperation Agreement on Official Languages for the additional purchase of French material.

The increased French collection is primarily focused on children’s and youth material and should better meet the needs of the local Francophone community as well as those students enrolled in French Immersion and their families.

The new French titles will be housed at the North Kamloops and Kamloops libraries, but will be available at any of the Library System’s branches.

Visit Larry’s Auto Glass if you’ve taken a hit Well, it happened again. You were following a dump truck and a rock flew up giving you a little scare and a little crack on your windshield. Is your car unsafe to drive?

Your windshield is a structural and safety component in your vehicle and is designed to stay intact and keep you safe through all but the most severe collisions. Anything that obstructs your field of vision is a driving hazard so a cracked windshield puts your safety at risk. Being able to see properly is a must so head over to Larry’s Auto Glass and keep yourself safe.

Larry’s has been serving Kamloops for over 20 years. New owner Wade Kozak and his team are proud to provide quality automotive glass repair and replacement to manufacturers’ safety standards with the same level of service locals have come to expect. Wade has been in the glass industry for 18 years. Plans are in the works to add residential glass repair to the list of Larry’s Auto Glass services.

One of the services the trained, licensed technicians at Larry’s offer is professional stone chip repair. Windshield glass is laminated to withstand impact better. A small chip or crack is just an air pocket where the glass is separated so smaller windshield fractures can be fixed by a process of vacuuming the air out, injecting resin and then curing. Having a small crack or chip repaired now will keep it from spreading and saves time and money down the road.

If a rock chip has been left to run or when bigger breaks occur, a qualified auto glass specialist will evaluate and recommend replacement if it is the only option. The knowledgeable team at Larry’s can install your front windshield and can also make repairs to or replace your back windshield, side windows and side-view mirrors.

In Home Violence - A Teen’s Perspective is an exhibit by SAAVI or Sisters Allied Against Violence, an Art Therapy group for young women who have witnessed or experienced violence and abuse. The pieces will be on display October 2 through November 1 at Kamloops Arts Council’s Main Gallery in the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre at 7 Seymour Street West.

An opening reception is scheduled for Friday, October 3 at 5:00pm to 7:00pm These are females from 13 to 17 years old. This group is run by The Children Who Witness Abuse (CWWA) program as part of the YWCA. This group of young women benefit from the strength of sisterhood when they gather together to begin to heal from their experience of violence through creative expression. Through the use of imagery, colour, shape and texture as part of their creative therapeutic process these artists ex-

press their thoughts and emotions as they gain knowledge and insight on violence and abuse and in this way they change the cycle of violence in their life.

Through art they have tried to find the answer to the questions: “What is violence?”; “How do I find a safe place for anger?”; “What is anxiety?” and “Are my feelings normal?”.

They have shared their stories through art, creative expression and discussion. Together they have found a way to understand that they are able to make their own choices about how they wish to walk through the world.

This exhibition chronicles stories of hurt, anger, healing, navigating challenging social responses to family violence and documents what helps sustain and strengthen.

The KAC Main Gallery is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10:00am to 5:00pm, and 10:00am to 4:00pm on Saturdays.

Say goodbye to the pain of extractions, exfoliation, steaming and peels. Simply apply, massage and the blackheads will roll out, leaving your skin softer, clearer and brighter... safely and naturally!!!

100% free of all kinds of synthetic chemicals as well as harmful natural ingredients.

Life’s a lot easier when you know what’s coming!

Collin Sonny Rosati (pictured at left) wrote the AstroWeek Love Horoscopes for straightuplove.com and was a “call in” psychic for The Circle of Stars Psychic Network.

These days he continues to host the Weekend Love Updates on his website, thesunnyside.net and he now writes the weekly horoscopes for The Echo!

Sonny began his journey into the world of astrology, psychic energy, and the subconscious as a youth when he attended The Etobicoke School of the Arts. There was something special about that group of kids who used to play with Tarot Cards and Ouija Boards between performances. Many of them went on to careers in the performing arts but Sonny chose a different path.. he kept studying. First at The Ontario Hypnosis Institute where he became a Master Hypnotist, then at Astrology Toronto where he formalized his studies in Astrology.

Along the way he kept studying, and sharing what he learned by writing books for young Hypnotists, posting free self-hypnosis meditations on his youtube channel, giving astrology readings and always writing horoscopes. Eventually, The Globe and Mail and The National Post found him using his talents leading How to Find True Love Workshops and called him The Love Hypnotist. This spurred him on to further his exploration into love, astrology and the unconscious. In 2011 he hosted an Astrology Summit on his web broadcastthesunnyside.net where he interviewed some of the internet’s most popular astrologers including Elizabeth Ellis (Addicted to Astrology) and Henry Weingarden (Afund.com).

For personal readings and a three month forecast please visit thesunnyside.net or send him an email to c_rosati@hotmail.com.

October 1, 2014 n 11

echo stargazer Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Your relationships will be tested this week and you’ll be impulsive about it. So... just watch everyone’s feelings when you’re adjusting your boundaries.

Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Whatever is bugging you it’s time to change. Give up smoking? Just the start. And remember, this is your change so don’t blame everyone or blow up if things don’t go your way. Just do your best.

Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You’ve been spending time in the public and it’s now time to take care of your own needs.

An unusual lover crosses your eye but this week is about you. Draw them and go out together.

Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) This Full Moon highlights your themes of home vs. public career. You’ve been working towards a career goal but you’re suddenly feeling that you should be spending more time at home. Don’t worry too much. Your family appreciates your efforts.

Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Suddenly you come to life and the world takes notice. Expect the phone to ring with good news.

There’s a chance for a sudden business opportunity.

Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Personal boundaries come into focus. You’ve been giving a lot lately and wondering what’s in it for you. Take a step back and have a look. Keep your eyes open for sudden advancement at work or a sudden win fall of money!

Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Holding a secret flame for someone? Go ahead and let them know. You’re receiving love directly into your partnerships so if you’re single then keep your eyes open! Try not go too carried away but definitely say hello.

Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) Take some time to indulge and be kind to yourself. It’s been rough lately and now it’s time to balance and heal. Sudden health issues might flare up but they should pass quickly. Clear the air that’s built up between you and a close friend.

Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) You’ve just come out of a rough spell but perseverance has helped you through. Friends, family, and how they fit into your life become the focus even though you’re feeling frisky and you’d like to just get out and play. Get out and meet some new friends.

Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) Be on the lookout for a sudden job opportunity. Spruce up the resume and expect the phone to ring.

It’s time to shake things up and get back on track.

Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Lately you’ve been working so hard and you’ve been wondering just what it’s all been for? Get out into the world this week and explore something you might have never before considered. Words are the key, so speak from the heart and you’ll be heard.

Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) A partner will need your financial help at the worst time. On the plus side, you’re freely attracting money. It’s all part of being there for each other.
