The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce released videos of their interviews with all four candidates for the 2015 federal election. Over the past three months, the chamber’s board of directors met with the business community to identify key issues facing their businesses. From the meetings and conversations, a committee synthesized the data received into six questions for the federal election candidates. During the last municipal election, the chamber undertook a similar program with Mayoral and Councilor candidates and received positive feedback from Kamloops

COMMUNITY
Slurpees and Smile Cookies; a compassionate combination The Kamloops Food Bank at 171 Wilson Street on the North Shore has been working hard to provide food items for hungry people in Kamloops since 1981. The Food Bank is independently operated and affiliated member of Food Banks Canada. On Wednesday, September 16 in response to “Name Your Price Day” at 7-Eleven, where participants were given the option to pay what they want for a Slurpee with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Food Bank, a Kamloops resident decided to invest in a pricey frozen beverage. Larry Grant of HUB International Insurance Brokers BC purchased the most expensive Slurpee ever for $100! In addition, between September 14 and 20 at all participating
Kamloops Tim Hortons locations, every Smile Cookie purchase also went to support the Kamloops Food Bank. Participants still have time to upload their Smile Cookie Selfie to Instagram using the

KGHM-Ajax Public Consultation Period The City of Kamloops will be hosting a town hall meeting to facilitate feedback from the public regarding the submission from KGHM International Inc. (KGHM) to the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO). This public consultation will take place at the Coast Hotel Conference Centre from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Monday, September 28. This meeting will begin with City staff providing Council and the public with a list of questions that the City’s consultant will be asked
to investigate during its review of KGHM’s application. The remainder of the meeting will be an opportunity for Council and its consultant to hear concerns from the public so that they can determine how and where to focus their work. Members of the public who wish to speak will be allocated three minutes to put forward their suggested questions. A series of meetings and workshops will follow this initial open house. The meetings will provide an opportunity for the public and Council to
have a greater understanding of the preliminary findings of the City’s consultant’s review. Nearing the end of the review period, Council will formulate and provide a formal official response to the BC EAO. Those who are unable to attend the town hall meeting are invited to submit a 500 word letter via the City’s website at www.kamloops.ca/ajax between September 29 and October 2. This City-led initiative does not replace the process being run by the BC Environmental Assessment Office.

A terrible mix-up
Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song
A new business was opening and one of the owner’s friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card, “Rest in Peace.” The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere, there is a funeral taking place today and they have flowers with a note saying, ‘Congratulations on your new location!’”
Friendly politician As a popular local politician I always try to help out whenever I can. So that’s how it came to be that when a fellow came up to me in a hotel lobby the other day and asked me for a small favour I was more than happy to oblige. “Hi,” said the fellow, introducing himself as Bob Smith. “I’m having a very important business meeting in a few minutes, and it’s very important that I impress them. If you can just come over during our meeting and say hello I would be forever indebted to you!” So that’s how a few minutes later, I found myself walking over to the fellow with a big smile on my face, “Hi, Bob!” I said. I barely got the words out of my mouth when Bob looked up with an annoyed expression, “Don’t bother me now, Chris. Can’t you see I’m in the middle of an important meeting?!”
The trouble with… Excerpts from letters sent to landlords: ■■ The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared. ■■ This is to let you know there is a smell coming from the man next door. ■■ I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall. ■■ I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. ■■ Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk? Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.

The dinner special John was starving. He was stuck in a small hick town, lost and hungry. He was happy when he saw a small restaurant coming up on his right. John quickly pulled over, parked his car and walked inside. John noticed a blackboard with a sign written in yellow chalk, “Today’s Special: Vegetable Soup with Fried Chicken and Grilled Vegetables.” “I’ll take the special,” said John to the waiter when he came to take his order. A few min-
utes after receiving his order John called over the waiter, he was fuming mad. “Is this the special!? It says vegetable soup, but there are no vegetables! It says grilled vegetables, but they aren’t grilled, they are baked! And it says fried chicken, and the chicken isn’t fried!” The waiter was not used to city folks and their attitudes and frankly he was not going to put up with this behavior. “My dear man,” said the waiter looking down at John over his glasses, “that is what makes it so special.”

echo stargazer Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) Your behind the scenes struggle has left you more damaged than you care to admit but within a week it’ll be over. Spend a couple of days reflecting upon the lesson and don’t be afraid to ask yourself some hard questions. Your past is still calling with a few more lessons but attention now shifts to your finances. Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Money struggles clear for good leaving you with a solid path and enough lessons to last a lifetime. You’ve been thinking about your appearance in the world lately but you’re unsure if you need a new haircut, challenge or new city to conquer. Let the laughter of children guide your next decision. Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The power struggle at work is about to end but your warring Scorpio energy is about to disrupt larger groups, organizations and the very people who are here to reward you for work. You have a lot of social energy and luck right now. Add a double dose of patience and you’ll achieve your desired outcome. Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Although it’s been a good year for foreign adventures and philosophical expansion, recent dramas have left you feeling like you’ve had to battle for personal freedoms and emotional expressions. This week concentrate on your public and professional identity. Pushing hard at work will restore your pocketbook and your optimistic liberties. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) After a couple of tumultuous weeks it’s back to the money game with your partner. It’s not going to happen all at once but you can see the signs of a well-laid plan working out to the benefit of your team. A conversation with someone older changes your mind and by the weekend you’ll be thinking of distant shores. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Love and money have combined themselves into such a volatile mixture recently that both your work and home lives have felt the repercussions. Old friends and internal stumbling blocks will step aside leaving you with a new degree of social discipline to reach your financial goals. Love is stronger than you realize. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) You’ve been diligently working your plan lately to the point of restricting you own personal freedoms and expressions. Recent lessons are providing you the emotional support needed to get serious about your public career. You’re currently super lucky in love so smile big and embrace the world as it smiles back. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) It appears as if fortunes have provided you mixed blessings recently, especially in the areas of children, creativity and personal relationships. Upon closer inspection you may be surprised to find yourself receiving close to what you’ve been asking for. By the end of the week you settle into a new plan. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) Whatever struggles have been mounting at home will pass this week. Your heart will be on new business, your career and public image. Towards the end of the week energy will shift giving you a new playful, childlike and romantic outlook. By Friday you’ll once again be ready to receive the homes blessings without obstruction or drama. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) Words are your specialty but sometimes they get you into trouble. It’s not even a case of speaking from your heart or even saying what you mean. Your message has been getting lost among the emotions of others. By the end of the week you’ll realize what needs to be said for both sides to get what they want. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) You’ve been putting a lot of your active energy into making money lately and for some crabs, things are starting to get expensive. At some point along your journey, you fell in love with an idea and decided to go for it. By the end of the week all financial parts will be in place and it will be time to sell your plan to the world. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) You’re going to hear the same refrain many times this next year urging you to make the most of a major streak of luck energy visiting your astro-sector of personal finances. This doesn’t mean you can blindly test your odds at the casino. This energy is also harmoniously aligning with a more sober view of creativity and having fun.
