CBC to launch Daybreak Kamloops this October Kamloops residents will soon be waking up to a familiar voice and a new morning show this Fall as CBC today announced Shelley Joyce as the new host of
Daybreak Kamloops. The CBC Bureau is under construction at 218 Victoria Street in Kamloops. It will be home to the new morning show and digital

service dedicated to local news, traffic and weather for residents of Kamloops and the surrounding areas. Shelley has hosted radio programs in Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna and written for The Winnipeg Sun, Today’s Parent and the Vancouver Province. She has been part of the CBC Kelowna team for the last six years and her stories have also been heard on CBC national radio programs The Current and The Story from Here. “We have been looking forward to this new addition to the CBC service in British Columbia,” says Johnny Michel, managing director of British Columbia. “The show will reach more than 100,000 people in the area and with Shelley’s tenure in broadcasting and remarkable style of story-telling, we will hear great things from Daybreak Kamloops.” This rounds out CBC’s commitment to being rooted in the region as Kamloops residents have already embraced CBC’s afternoon show Radio West which broadcasts from CBC Kelowna and covers the Okanagan. “I would like to welcome the
new CBC bureau to Kamloops,” said Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops Thompson Cariboo. “This new bureau will not only bring expanded services to our local residents but further our community’s profile on the national stage.” “Canadians have long told us they want local services,” says, Kirstine Stewart, executive vicepresident, CBC English Services. “We made a commitment in our strategic plan to include the city of Kamloops and although it isn’t the extent at which we had planned prior to our cuts, we’re proud of what our team has been able to do for the residents in the area.” The new Bureau is part of CBC’s 5-year strategic plan, “Everyone, Every Way”. The plan, which was released February 2011, calls for a number of strategic priorities including expansion of service in Kamloops. For more information go to cbc.radio-canada.ca/strategy2015/ Daybreak Kamloops will begin broadcasting on October 9 at 6:00am on CBC Radio One on 94.1 FM in Kamloops.

Engaging communities to end violence against women and girls On behalf of the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister for Status of Women, Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, announced the launch of a Call for Proposals for projects that will prevent and reduce violence against women and girls in Canada. “Our government is taking concrete steps in the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls by helping communities address this important issue,” said Minister Ambrose. “By inviting proposals for projects that address violence against women and girls, we are working together to create safe communities for all.”
A family gathering – continued from page 1 to teaching the public how to cope with bloodborne infections, from individual nutrition consultations to family preservation services. For additional information about the IIFC and to RSVP for the Changing of the Seasons celebration, call 250-376-1617. Jennifer Sloan, Freelance
The Government of Canada will accept funding applications for the call for proposals in four thematic areas: Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in high-risk neighbourhoods; Engaging men and boys in ending violence against women and girls; Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in the name of “honour”; and Preventing and reducing the
trafficking of women and girls through community planning “I encourage all interested organizations in Kamloops – Thompson – Cariboo to apply and help make a difference for girls and women who face various forms of violence,” concluded McLeod.

City announces corporate restructure In a meeting with City staff this morning, CAO David Trawin announced changes to be made to the City’s corporate structure. With the upcoming retirement of Len Hrycan, Director of Community and Corporate Affairs, Trawin announced that Director of Public Works and Sustainability David Duckworth would be assuming his role. In addition, the Information Technology Division (IT), which is currently in the Finance Department, will be moved under his direction. The restructured department will be renamed Corporate Services and Community Safety. Finance Director Sally Edwards will remain as the head of the Finance Department. “This move allows for the finance department to focus solely on finance, in turn allowing the City to become more accountable and more efficient in its purchasing as well as capital expenditures,” commented David Trawin. “With David’s skill set, he is a good fit for the position. Additionally, he is well versed in IT, so moving IT under his directorship makes sense.” The transition will take place over the next two months, although Duckworth assumes his new role on October 8. The Director of Public Works and Sustainability position will be posted both internally and externally in the coming weeks.

Pay it forward - It’s cool to be kind As fall is upon us, Interior Community Services is once again promoting the notion of it’s “Cool to be Kind”. Seven years ago, the agency was a part of bringing the Extreme Kindness Crew; a group of four young Canadian men who have traveled North America, promoting the concept of paying it forward through random acts of kindness, to Kamloops. The agency was so inspired by their message and enthusiasm that they felt compelled to build the same theme as part of their annual message to the community. It is with great enthusiasm that they present the Kamloops Cool to Be Kind Week October 1 to 5 and have hopes that City Council will official proclaim the week. They will present an entire week worth of events embracing the idea of sharing,

caring and giving back to the community that we all live, work and play in. They are urging the community to through their closets, boxes and storages and consider donating any winter jackets, gloves, toques and sleeping bags that could be spared. These items will be provided to folks in the community who are much less fortunate. Thursday, October 4 the staff at ICS will be providing a free chili luncheon, through donations from wonderful community businesses, and will have the warm gear available at that time. If you have something to pass along it can be dropped off at Interior Community Services, 396 Tranquille Rd.

Family History Society celebrates 30th Anniversary A group of strangers, lured by advertising throughout the community, met for the first time in the Kamloops Library on September 8, 1982. On that evening their shared interest in genealogy and family history led them to form a Society which would encourage and assist people in the search for their ancestors. They held their first official meeting September 22, 1982. From its early days, the Society has organized many seminars and raised money to purchase books, microfilms, microfiche and other research materials that are available to assist people in their research. The indexes to the BC Vital Statistics have been purchased and regularly updated by the Society and these are available for anyone to search at the Kamloops Branch of TNRD Library System. The group has taken on many projects such as the recording of many local cemeteries, the indexing of the Kamloops Funeral Home records and, this year, photos of the
to knot or not With fall in the air, it’s the perfect time to pick up that knitting project that you’ve been ignoring all summer and that’s exactly what Elsie Swiatkewich is trying to do. She’s pictured here with her daughter Donna, of Donna’s Yarn and Craft Centre, getting some much needed help. The tables have turned as Elsie was the one who taught Donna to knit in order to receive a badge in Brownies. Donna was just eight when she took up the craft. Today Donna is the one who helps her mom with that ‘stupid’ sweater pattern that doesn’t look just right!
Pleasant Street Cemetery were completed for the Can Gen Web Cemetery project. A number of books, as well as cop-
ies of the Society journal “Family Footsteps”, have been compiled and published and all are available for sale. Since 1985
the Journal has reached all corners of the globe and contains a variety of articles each time on such things as local history, research techniques and stories about member’s ancestors. This year the group celebrates its 30th Anniversary and a special social evening is planned for September 27, 7pm at the Heritage House downtown. Anyone who has been a member at any time in the past is welcome to attend the meeting and renew old acquaintances. For more information, details or membership information see the Society website at www.kfhs.org.
The French Connection The Francophone Association, 348 Fortune Drive, is hosting their annual Fall Corn Roast on Saturday, September 22. Doors open at 5:00pm and activities will start at 5:30pm. Corn and Hotdogs will be served at 6:00pm. The Francophone Association are asking those interested in attending to bring their own beverages as well as chips, salad or desert to share with everyone. In days past among Acadians and Quebeckers, friends and neighbours would gather to husk and cook fresh corn at a communal harvesting of corn crops. These social events also included games to encourage social mixing. Since 1979, the Association francophone de Kamloops has promoted the French language and culture through offering cultural, social and educational activities in French to the Francophones and Francophiles in the region, and anyone interested in the French language. RSVP to 250-376-6060 to confirm attendance.

North Shore echo
Your Horoscope VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) Anger may cause you grief; control your temper and try to sit back and calm down. Your need to use emotional blackmail will only cause more conflict. Emotionally you won’t see things accurately. You will find the excitement gratifying. LIBRA (Sept 24-Oct 23) You will need to do a lot of research if you wish to get to the bottom of things. Do things for them but don’t allow them to make unreasonable requests. Try not to lend or borrow money this week. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Your talents are likely to be discovered. Be extra careful with your valuables; loss and theft are evident this week. Promote your ideas now. You may find yourself interested in more than one person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Don’t draw too much attention to yourself at work. Don’t give out any personal information that you don’t want spread around. You may find it difficult to discuss personal matters with family members. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Close deals that have been up in the air and move on to new ones that appear to be profitable. Join humanitarian groups and let your leadership ability take over. Put in some extra hours and finish those careful jobs before you move on to some fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Take time to look at any outdated papers or possible investments. Be ready to explain your actions. You will find yourself tied to the phone. Hidden assets can be doubled if you play your cards correctly. PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Go over their important documents and take the time to suggest alternatives. Involvement in groups will be favorable and lead to valuable information. Do not blow situations out of proportion. You’ll meet new friends if you try new activities. ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) Make sure all of your travel and driver’s documents are in proper order. Finish off old projects before starting something new. Your temper could get the better of you if you confront personal situations. Try to deal with it quickly; don’t dwell on past regrets. TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Don’t overdo it. You need to enjoy yourself. Plan some family outings. Your partner will be emotionally unable to cope. You may be up for some changes in your home. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You will have a little more energy than usual. Deep discussions may only lead to friction. Any renovation or decorating to your home should include the whole family. You’ll get to your destination just as quickly. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Lovers will be less than accommodating, and decisions regarding personal direction a necessity. You will want to take off and have some recreation. You are best to work at home, clearing up overdue projects. You’ll impress new friends with your wit. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Do your job and then spend some time with family; you’ll be glad you did. Make changes to your home that will be pleasing to everyone involved. You will be on the rampage this week. Anger could lead to problems. Horoscopes courtesy of astrologer Michael Thiessen. For daily horoscopes go to www.astrology-online.com
