Library focuses on teen and tween programming Meghan Ross, librarian at the North Shore Library, is very excited about the fall programming for teens and tweens. With the focus on fun and friendship, literacy is made easy at the library “a safe space, with lots of resources”. Meghan’s vision for the fall programming series is to encourage young people to be an active part of the community. These initiatives are efforts to kick-start regular interaction with young people at their local libraries. What can a tween or teen expect? A mix of crafts and activities from week to week that are “always fun, always interactive.” One highly anticipated event is the Escape Room, where “participants will have to break into and out of a locked room by solving a series of puzzles and challenges. Their objective is to locate a will that has been hidden in the room and which contains the location of a treasure”. The library’s fall programming for children runs from October to November, with a few special programs in December. With Andy Finnen, long-time head of Children’s Services, running the Tween Program, their next mission to develop and popularize teen programming. These offerings are a part of the Youth Services initiatives: to have teens and tweens to reconsider and redefine their need/use of the local library. It’s a great place to meet a friend, do homework, select a new novel to get lost in over the weekend. Bare in mind, it is not just about the books,” says Meghan, there are DVD’s, CD’s, comics books and graphic novels. They even have a PS4, which is “housed in the Teen Section, with games available to check-out and use with the system from the main circulation counter”. One teen/tween program set for October is a “Video Game Lab where tweens and teens will have an opportu- continued on page 2

Special Olympics BC Games returning to Kamloops Special Olympics BC (SOBC) has announced that the 2017 SOBC Summer Games will be coming to Kamloops July 6 to 8 next year. Hot on the heels of the successful 2015 SOBC Winter Games, Kamloops will be the first community to host back-toback SOBC Winter and Summer Games. The 2017 Provincial Games will be the largest SOBC Games to date, with almost 1,300 athletes with intellectual disabilities from all parts of the province and the Yukon expected to compete, supported by more than 350 volunteer coaches and mission staff. The Games will feature exciting competition and inspiring displays of sportsmanship in the 11 SOBC summer sports: five and ten-pin bowling, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball and swimming. Competing in Provincial Games is a huge thrill in itself for the athletes, many of whom will have their first opportunities ever to travel with a team and will experience the joy of chal-
lenging themselves to attain and exceed their athletic goals. The competitors will also be chasing the opportunity to advance to national and international levels of competition. Top performers in Kamloops will qualify for spots on Team BC for the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, during the 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics movement. Out east, the participants will compete to advance to the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games. Kamloops has long been a key location for Special Olympics in BC, as one of the first communities to offer Special Olympics programming in the province, beginning in 1983. This will be the fourth time Kamloops has hosted SOBC Provincial Games and Canada’s Tournament Capital was also the host of the first official SOBC Summer Games in 1986. “We are so excited to go back to Kamloops where we know the people, the facilities and what this city can do. We really feel these will be
an exceptional set of Games,” said Lois McNary, SOBC vice president, sport. “Provincial Games are such empowering and exciting experiences for our athletes and we’re confident that the incredible volunteers, sponsors and venues in Kamloops will once again create amazing conditions in which the athletes will shine.” In 2017, the SOBC Games Opening Ceremony will be held on July 6, followed by competition throughout Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 8. A teams-only Closing Ceremony will be held on July 8 and volunteer recognition breakfast on July 9. More than 1,200 volunteers will be needed to help stage this inspiring event. Volunteer registration details and Games venues will be announced in the weeks to come. Learn more at www.sobcgameskamloops.ca and find SOBC on Facebook and Instagram @specialolympicsbc and Twitter @sobcsociety; the Games hashtags will be #SOBCGames #Kamloops2017.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce recognizes a resolution passed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce on September 18 regarding the development of a robust regulatory framework for the use of recreational marijuana. Brant Hasanen, chair of Policy Development Committee; Kamloops Chamber of Commerce said, “While Canadians may have mixed feelings on the subject, the federal government has made clear their intention of legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. The Chamber believes that the introduction of this product to consumers must be done in a way that ensures responsible access, engages local business, maintains a competitive environment and allows for consumer choice.”
BC Soccer Premier League games at Mac Park The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) is set to play host to eleven BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) games on Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2 at McArthur Island. The matches will feature Thompson-Okanagan FC (TOFC) teams taking on Mountain United FC squads in various age groups ranging from U13 to U17, boys and girls. Mountain United FC draws the majority of its players from Burnaby and North Vancouver. TOFC is the lone interior franchise in the BCSPL. The other seven franchise holders are Coquitlam Metro Ford SC, Preston GM Fraser Valley Premier, Mountain United FC, Coastal FC, Surrey United, Vancouver Island FC and Fusion FC.
There are currently thirty-one Kamloops-resident players on TOFC team rosters. TOFC match hosting duties are shared amongst districts in the Thompson-Okanagan region when and where possible. “Here’s another opportunity for our players to see what it takes to play at the highest level of youth soccer in the province,” says KYSA executive director, Keith Liddiard. “It’ll give those players who may be interested in trying out for TOFC teams in the future, and their parents, a chance to gauge the caliber and see if they might fit. “It’s a huge undertaking for players in Kamloops given the travel involved and time commitment, but it can be a rewarding experience playing at such a high standard
and it could be a pathway to even higher competitive exposure at the provincial, college and university levels and beyond,” Liddiard suggests. “The quality of coaching in the BCSPL is top notch and the league is very well scouted. “Twelve year-old Will Calne, a Kamloops boy, is a perfect example. Will was recently invited to join the Vancouver Whitecaps full-time Residency Program in Vancouver.” In June of last year, the TOFU U13 Girls defeated Coastal FC, 3-1, to earn the club’s first-ever girls’ Provincial Premier Cup championship in TOFC history. The KYSA will be playing host to a second-round of TOFC games on the weekend of October 15/16. Details on those matches will be sent closer to the dates.

On September 21, Regional Districts in BC’s Central and Southern Interior announced the availability of a specialized text service that allows people who are Deaf/Deaf-Blind, Hardof-Hearing or Speech Impaired (DHHSI) to communicate with 9-1-1 call-takers by text. This service is called Text with 9-1-1 (T9-1-1) and is being delivered by E-Comm, the emergency communications centre responsible for answering 9-1-1 calls in the central and southern interior, in partnership with local emergency service agencies. The service is now available throughout the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, Central Kootenay, Columbia-Shuswap, OkanaganSimilkameen, Thompson-Nicola, East Kootenay, KootenayBoundary and Squamish-Lillooet Regional Districts. T9-1-1 allows any DHHSI person who has pre-registered their cellphone with their wireless carrier to communicate with police, fire and ambulance call-takers via text during an emergency. Callers
must first place a voice call to 9-1-1 in order to establish a voice network connection and initiate the special messaging technology. When E-Comm receives a 9-1-1 call from a DHHSI person who has pre-registered for the service, an alert will trigger at the 9-1-1 centre to indicate there is a DHHSI caller on the line. The 9-1-1 call-taker will then launch the special messaging system, allowing them to communicate with the caller through a special text session. This will ensure they get the emergency service they need. It is important to emphasize that this service is only available to the DHHSI community. Voice calling remains the only way to communicate with 9-1-1 services for a person who is not Deaf/Deaf-Blind, Hardof-Hearing or Speech Impaired. Text messages sent directly to the digits “9-1-1” do not reach emergency services anywhere in Canada. Members of the DHHSI community should visit www. TextWith911.ca to register their cellphone with their wireless service provider and to learn more about how the system works.

Now playing at Tranquille on the Lake is Disordered Mind written by Andrew Cooper, a fact-based production set in the 1960’s where a women’s sanity hangs in the balance as two doctors ideals clash. You are taken through the site at Tranquille and told the story of Fern Mackenzie, walking through the old hospital, down into the tunnels, through the fire hall and more. Pictured are Ella Macintosh (Brittany McCarthy), Nurse Dorothy Theon (Morgan Benedict) and Fern Mackenzie (Melissa Thomas) trying to convince Fern to take her medication.

With four daughters and one son always dashing to school activities and part-time jobs, our schedule was hectic. To add to this, we kept running out of household supplies. I instructed them all to let me know when they used the last of any item by writing it down on a note pad on the refrigerator. As a reminder, I wrote at the top: “If we are out of it, write it down.” When I checked the pad a few days later, to my delight I found the following message: “Mom, you may be a bit old-fashioned, but you are not ‘out of it.”’

echo stargazer Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) You’re focused on past mistakes but forgiveness and love are the keys to repairing both your reputation and friendships. The shifting energies will do wonders to increase earnings. Trouble begins to brew at home. Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) As Venus enters Scorpio you can expect both love and money to begin looking for you. In the meantime, unseen forces are working in your favour. Gifts arrive in strange colour choices but they are blessings nonetheless. Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You’ve picked up an aggressive streak in the finance department, which sees you succeeding in a risky venture. Reach for the top but make sure your safety net is operating properly. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Shifting energies put a new bounce in your step. Goals seem easier than usual as longstanding obstacles fade into the past. A new beginning in the public spotlight is on the near horizon. Sept 28 & 29 Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) New beginnings could see you traveling quite a lot in the next 12 months, but the rosy picture begins with a rocky start. There’s one more fight with someone behind the scenes. Be prepared for trouble. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Travel and long distance relationships fill the bank with more than just promises. Joint finances take the focus. If your business team is set, then it’s time to double your efforts and claim a bigger share of the marketplace. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Love and money take the spotlight. For the next year you can expect personal relationships to flourish and admirers to line up for your attention. Be careful to maintain your boundaries as you enter the waters of love. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) You might be focused on your daily routine but love is calling loud and clear. Cautious smiles can lead to sharing words and an adventure you’ve been waiting for. Don’t be shy. Love is on your side. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) You’ve begun a yearlong creative cycle that could change your life. You’ve experienced this energy before and it motivated you to excellence. Lightning can strike twice. Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) If the last year found you confused about your general life direction and how to achieve those long-term goals, then have some faith. Astro-energies are shifting and providing you with a new opportunity to clear the air and move forward with harmony and grace. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Good things are happening at home and this is important to keep you grounded and focused. For the next year communication, short trips and trading information will be the keys to success. Relationships begin to cause fits. Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) I hope you didn’t gain too much weight during that Jupiter transit! It’s now time to apply that same expansionist energy to your bank account. Press hard and ready your wallet for an exciting year. Astro-week Sonnyscopes courtesy of Collin Sonny Rosati, Vancouver Astrologer, Hypnotist. For personal readings visit thesunnyside.net.
