Diabetes never takes a holidayHow does your day begin? Imagine if it was

like this…“My day starts with poking my finger to

check my blood glucose level. If it’s too high or too low, that will affect what I eat for break-fast. I need to check my blood sugar before ev-ery meal and also before bedtime. Whatever I’m doing, I have to carry a blood testing meter and insulin supplies with me at all times. i try not to think of complications – I just try to do my best. Unfortunately diabetes NEVER takes a holiday” - As described by one person living with type 1 diabetes (T1D)

T1d is an autoimmune disease in which the body mistakenly attacks the beta cells that pro-duce insulin, a hormone enabling the body to convert blood glucose to energy. It is the most severe form of diabetes, striking at any age. There are approximately 300,000 Canadians living with T1D. Management is challenging and demands constant vigilance to avoid com-plications. Canada has the sixth highest inci-dence rate of T1D in children 14 years of age or younger in the world.

Being diagnosed with T1D is never easy. It can feel overwhelming. Feelings range from anger, sadness, guilt, fear and numbness… sometimes all at the same time. Living with T1D is a challenge and family, friends, teachers and others have to learn a lot in order to help care for those living with the disease.

Since its founding in 1974 in Canada, the Ju-venile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) has been a global leader in the search for an end to T1D, through both research funding and ad-vocacy. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. You can join JDRF this November and get involved in Diabetes Awareness Month.

JDRF Ka-mloops has organized a Diabetes Art Move-ment Project, an exhibit that will offer a wide variety of perspectives on how T1D has im-pacted the lives of people with diabetes and the people who love them. Artists of all ages

from our community who have been touched by the disease in one way or another, have cre-ated original diabetes masterpieces which re-flect their feelings and express what they live through every day.

Feelings rendered into form for Diabetes awareness

Type 1 families, corporate sponsors and the general public are invited to the November 15 opening at the Kamloops Art Gallery’s BMO Open Gallery. This will be a time to connect with JDRF and members of T1D community and learn how you can join their efforts. Tea, coffee and light snacks will be served from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. The submitted work will be displayed at the Kamloops Art Gallery for the month of November in honour of Diabetes Aware-ness Month.

Nandi Spoilia from Flavours of India, located at 550 West Columbia Street, has also joined in the lo-cal fundraising campaign for the Foundation by do-nating $1 from the sale of every lunch buffet sold in the month of November.

The largest campaign in JDRF’s history, Transform-ing Lives: Today and Tomorrow is their solution to accelerating diabetes breakthroughs. Their goal is to improve the lives of every person affected by T1D by

improving the care of people with this disease and ex-panding scientific understanding. They provide infor-mation for families who are facing T1D for the first time and offer resources to keep those living with T1D as safe, strong, healthy and confident as possi-ble. Additionally, trained volunteers that have experi-enced and understand the daily challenges are part of a Mentor Program that provides one-on-one emotion-al support to families and individuals and connects them with resources in our local area.

The treatments for T1D are improving all the time and even though life changes for those diagnosed, it can still be a full and active life.

Feel alongside someone else by visiting this lo-cal exhibit of feelings rendered into form. RSVP to JDRF’s Fundraising Coordinator, Shianne Carswell, at [email protected] if you and your family would like to attend the Diabetes Art Movement Project opening reception November 15.

BCiC brings new entrepreneurial programs soon entrepreneurs and start-

ups in Kamloops and the Central Interior will benefit from some new programming and initiatives offered by the BC Innovation Council (BCIC), thanks to a new regional partnership with the Kamloops Innovation Centre (KIC). KIC is a technology incu-bator created to enable com-mercialization and technological innovation in Kamloops.

BCIC encourages the devel-opment and application of

advanced or innovative technolo-gies to meet the needs of indus-try in BC. In September, BCIC launched the bCiC acceleration network, a tightly coordinated network delivering the Venture acceleration program and bCiC Mentor program throughout the province, providing startup com-panies across all regions with consistent and structured guid-ance to accelerate the growth of their ventures.

The bCiC acceleration

network is already operational in the okanagan through accelerate okanagan and in Victoria through Accelerate Tectoria. 47 startups joined the program in the 12-month pilot phase of the pro-gram. in that time, they collec-tively attracted in excess of $4M in external investment, generated $1M in revenues and created 140 jobs for British Columbians. BCIC looks forward to bringing similar successes to companies in the Kamloops region.

Jailbirds raise bail for United WayOn November 15, the

Kamloops rCMp are arresting close to 100 Kamloops community members as part of

their Jail and Bail event, which raises money for United Way’s commu-nity fund. If you would like to help “bail”

someone out of jail (and support United Way) go to jailandbailkamloops.com and make a dona-tion to the offender

of your choice. Tax receipts are provided for donations of $10 or more. Thank you for supporting united way!

fly paSSThe 419 Squadron of Cold Lake, Alberta participated in Kamloops Remembrance Day ceremonies with a fly-pass. The history of the fly-pass goes a long way back. In July of 1943, the City of Kamloops adopted the 419 Bomber Squadron after Wing Commander John ‘Moose’ Fulton was shot down in June of 1942 and crashed into the English Channel never to be seen again. This image was captured at a commemorative ceremony with the Skeetchestn Indian Band on Remembrance Day as the jets flew overhead.

Kamloops West Rotary puts the fun back in fundraising with Manhattan Nights

Billed as their “biggest fundraiser” of the year, Kamloops west rotary is staging the spectacu-lar Manhattan nights on Saturday, November 24 at the Colombo Hall, located at 814 Lorne Street. Manhattan Nights participants will be treated to a sumptuous din-ner plus a chance to win a $5,000 VIP New York vaca-tion. Committee Chair brant hasanen said, “This special evening will also include a variety of magic and comedic entertain-ment to keep guests laughing and enjoy-ing the fabulous meal prepared by the Italian ladies at the Colombo Hall.”

he added, “Manhattan nights will also host a silent auction, so there is a chance to win a VIP vacation package as well as some fantastic special auc-tion items throughout the evening.” Brant urges everyone to buy their tickets early because only 350 tickets are being sold and people need to be in attendance to win the all inclusive vacation.

well-known, Kamloops-raised, award-losing columnist, Jack Knox, is the celeb-rity MC for the event. Bro Gilbert, international magician/comedian, is the

headline entertainer. bro Gilbert’s modern style of conversational magic will leave you absolutely mesmerized with mini demonstrations of the kind of incredible magic that up until this point you have only ever seen on television.

Minds will be read, borrowed objects will vanish and reappear in their owner’s hands!

in keeping with the Manhattan nights theme, there will also be “street” entertainers during the time between the doors opening and dinner.

Money raised by the Rotary Club of Kamloops west will go to local initia-tives including the Boys and Girls Club powerstart program along with the annu-al Kamloops seniors dinner the rotary West Club has run for close to 30 years. The funds raised will also provide support to a wide variety of other local initiatives such as the community garden, which form a part of Rotary’s overall Humanity in Motion mission.

Ticket price includes the dinner and entrance to win the new york trip. Call 250-314-4468 to reserve your seat.

It would be difficult to find anyone who is not familiar with Elton John’s music, whether it’s music from his many hit record-ings, his tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales Candle in the wind, wind, his music for the Disney movie The Lion King, music for Billy Elliot the Musical or the duet perfor-mance of Your Song in the movie Moulin Rouge.

Come and hear this trib-ute to the music of Elton John Friday, November 16 and Saturday, November 17 beginning at 7:30pm at Sagebrush Theatre

For this program, don paulton, piano; Mitch Tyler, bass; Paul deLong, drums; and Jean Meilleur, lead vocals and acoustic guitar, will per-form some of the many hit songs from the leg-endary singer/songwrit-er’s successful 50 year (and counting) career.

The Kamloops Symphony has performed a wide variety of orches-tral music with guest per-formers from non classi-cal music genres over the years – jazz, country, celt-ic, folk – but this is its first departure into the realm

of classic rock. Members of the KSO Chorus come from a number of different choral groups in the com-munity to perform with the Kamloops Symphony. For many, this will be the first time they have performed as back-up singers for a program of classic rock

music – and they’re hav-ing a lot of fun with it.

The Jean ‘n Classics concept, which is to combine rock musicians and headlining stars with world-class symphony orchestras, has drawn record-setting capac-ity crowds across Canada

and the us since its cre-ation in ontario more than 20 years ago. Jeans and wild sunglasses are strongly encouraged for this performance.

program and ticket information is available online at kamloopssym-phony.com

Use 811 not 911 if it’s not an emergencyEditor,Reflecting on an article I read about people unable to access 911 to report a fire, it

made me realize that too many folk call 911 when they have a non emergency health concern and cannot contact their Dr, dietitian or pharmacist. I have spoken to many in the past few days who are totally unaware of 8-1-1. By calling 8-1-1 you can get health advice from a nurse (24/7) and also a dietitian or pharmacist. When you phone 8-1-1 you can consult a nurse about symptoms or health conditions, talk to a pharmacist about medications or a dietitian about dietary concerns.

A man walks into the front door of a bar. He is obviously drunk, and staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender politely informs the man that it appears that he has already had plenty to drink, he could not be served additional liquor at this bar and could a cab be called for him?

The drunk is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs down off the bar stool and staggers out the front door. A few minutes later, the same drunk stumbles in the side door of the bar. He wobbles up to the bar and hollers for a drink. The bartend-er comes over and, still politely - but more firmly, refuses service to the man due to his inebriation and again offers to call a cab.

The drunk looks at the bartender for a moment angrily, curses, and shows himself out the side door, all the while grumbling and shaking his head.

A few minutes later, the same drunk bursts in through the back door of the bar. He plops himself up on a bar stool, gathers his wits and bel-ligerently orders a drink. The bar-tender comes over and emphatically reminds the man that he is clearly drunk, will be served no drinks and either a cab or the police will be called immediately.

The surprised drunk looks at the bartender and in hopeless anguish, cries “Man! How many bars do you work at?”

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.

when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because

the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improv-ing by the regular killing of the weakest members.

in much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain

cells. now, as we know, exces-sive intake of alcohol kills brain cells.

but naturally, it attacks the slow-est and weakest brain cells first.

in this way, regular consump-tion of beer, wine, champagne,

gin, scotch and vodka ... elimi-nates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

and that is why we always feel more intelligent after one or three alcoholic beverages.

That moment when you are so passed out people play Jenga on your head.

funny pages

A fellow decides to take off early from work and go drink-ing. He stays until the bar clos-es at 2am, at which time he is extremely drunk. when he enters his house, he doesn’t want to wake anyone, so he takes off his shoes and starts tiptoeing up the stairs. Halfway up the stairs, he falls over backwards and lands flat on his rear end.

That wouldn’t have been so bad, except that he had couple of empty pint bottles in his back pockets, which broke, and the broken glass carved up his but-tocks terribly. But, he was so drunk that he didn’t know he was hurt. A few minutes later, as he was undressing, he noticed blood, so he checked himself out in the mirror and sure enough, his behind was cut up something terrible. Well, he repaired the

damage as best he could under the circumstances and he went to bed.

The next morning, his head was hurting, his rear was hurting and he was hunkering under the cov-ers trying to think up some good story, when his wife came into the bedroom.

“well, you really tied one on last night,” she said. “Where’d you go?” “I worked late,” he said, “and I stopped off for a couple of beers.”

“A couple of beers? That’s a laugh,” she replied, “you got plastered last night. where the heck did you go?”

“what makes you so sure i got drunk last night, anyway?”

“Well,” she replied, “my first big clue was when I got up this morning and found a bunch of band-aids stuck to the mirror.”

i wasn’t that drunk

A clear case of post party depression.

The biker and the cowboyA cowboy and a biker are on death row and are to be executed on the

same day. The day comes and they are brought to the gas chamber. The warden asks the cowboy if he has a last request, to which the cowboy replies, “Ah shore do, wardn. I’d be mighty grateful if’n you’d play ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ fur me bahfore ah hafta go.”

“Sure enough, cowboy, we can do that,” says the warden. He turns to the biker, “And you, biker, what’s your last request?”

“That you kill me first.”

A sheriff walks into a saloon, and shouts for every-one’s attention.

“Has anyone seen Brown Paper Jake?” he asks. “What’s he look like?” asks one looking

cowboy. “Well”, replies the Sheriff. “He wears a

brown paper hat, a brown paper waistcoat, a brown paper shirt, brown paper boots, brown paper pants, and a brown paper jacket.”

“So what’s he wanted for?” asks the same cowboy.

“Rustlin’...” replies the Sheriff.

Horoscopes courtesy of astrologer Michael Thiessen. For daily horoscopes go to www.astrology-online.com

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) You can help a close friend find solutions to personal problems. Emotional deception is evident. Family outings will make you feel secure and happy. Money can be made using your ingenuity.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Tempers will mount if you’re too pushy at work or at home. Do your own thing. Your financial situation may be draining and it’s time to make some serious changes. Secret affairs may only cause complications in your life.CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Sort situations out as best you can. Watch your spending habits. Get involved in worthwhile endeavors and meet new friends. You may find yourself in a predicament with family members. Er-ratic behavior may confuse others. Mood swings may result in isolation.AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Exhaustion will lead to minor injury if you don’t know when to quit. Don’t press your luck with your loved ones. Don’t overlook that fact that someone you care about may be hiding something.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Your relationship appears to be stressed out and depleted. Your devotion will be persuasive. Discord may arise with some-one you’re close to. If you take on too much of a financial burden you may make yourself ill.ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) Don’t let your friends talk you into taking time off. There is not much you can do to alleviate the problem, but consider putting some extra work into your house. Discord could be unnerving. You’ll be dropping friends for no apparent reason.TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) You may win favors if you present your ideas and include your family. Don’t cause a scene, but when you get home let your partner know how you feel and why. You can pick up information that will give you an edge. Don’t be afraid to make a move if you aren’t happy with your emotional situation.GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Jealousy may get in the way of a good re-lationship. You should be in business for yourself. You will find that joint ventures could easily turn out to be dead end projects. You can make excel-lent purchases this week.CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don’t hesitate to visit someone who hasn’t been well. Your input into their activities will help bring you closer to-gether. You need to look into ways to change your self-image. Not the best day for business trips.LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is not the day to be extravagant. Your lack of interest in your partner is a problem. Be prudent and don’t be led down the garden path. You can make a serious attempt at quitting those bad habits that you’ve picked up over the years.VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) Chances are they are jealous. Be sure to find out all you can before you commit to anything. This is a good day to check out your investments. Involvement in financial schemes will be followed by losses.LIBRA (Sept 24-Oct 23) Extravagance will be a problem. You will enjoy lavish forms of entertainment and should consider making arrangements early. Minor accidents are likely if you take risks. Try to take some time to listen to their complaints, and in turn, do something to appease them.
