NORTH SHORE ARTWALK‘til September 3

starting at Northills Centre

Summer vacations are good… but with the colder weather approaching, the time will come soon enough when snuggling up with a good book, perhaps with beloved pet curled up at your feet, will be the activity of choice. Kamloops has a great climate for serious—and not so serious—reading.

Due to the generosity of so many people, The North Shore Community Centre Society has more books than space is avail-able to display them. To solve the problem they are having a book sale! In honour of the “Back to School” season, the public is invit-ed Tuesday to Friday, September 4 to 7, to stock up on some great items for winter reading at bar-gain prices. The book sale, held at Cottonwood Manor Complex, 730 Cottonwood Avenue, starts at 9:00am and closes at 4:00pm.

This is the first year for the sale and there promises to be a delightful range of books from every genre at cheap, cheap cheap

prices. For pocket change, you can prepare for those short, cold days and long winter nights with some books that will compliment the season of cuddling up in a blanket, holding a mug of cocoa, on a sofa next to a fire.

These books are donated from individuals, and most are in great condition. They’re not used library books or anything like that, but are the books you’d find on someone’s home shelf. They may not be hot off the press, but a good book is a good book, no matter the age, in my opin-ion!” notes Brenda Giesbrecht, Administrator for North Shore Community Centre.

Warm up with a good selection of classics, historical literature, general fiction, reference and romance. Also included in the mix are a vast array of gently-used cookbooks! The months of cold weather shouldn’t let your green thumb go idle. Reading about your passion for garden-ing is a worthy pastime in the off-season.

The existing McArthur Island sanitary lift station services an area encompassing Batchelor heights and the North Shore, and is located just north of the Boys and Girls Club. Built in the 1950s, this station is reaching the end of its service life, becoming more inefficient and problematic. The McArthur Island Lift Station Replacement project will construct a completely new energy efficient station complete with new odour control system and landscaping to fit in with the existing park. This $1.5 million construction project will incorporate high-efficiency pumps and variable frequency drive controls to reduce energy require-ments for the new station. As a result, the new station would consume less than half of the energy of the existing station, with an estimated savings of approximately 70,000 kWh in the first year. As part of the construction process, a small area of McArthur Island Park west of the skate park and north of the Boys and Girls Club will experience some closures. Construction was set to begin on August 27, 2012 and will continue into the spring of 2013.

Is your child between the ages of 5 and 9? Do they love creat-ing art in any medium (visual, theatre, dance, music)? The Kamloops Arts Council would like to hear from you!

The Kamloops Arts Council will be producing a short doc-umentary film, shot over the course of four years, that tracks the growth of a group of young artists who attend the annual Children’s Art Festival in September.

Kora Vanderlip, 15, is a young filmmaker who has already won many awards with her humor-ous and thoughtful short films. Kora will follow the chosen group of young artists over the next four years discussing what art means to them and to

observe the changes in their artistic expression over time.

Filming will commence September 2012. The com-pleted film will premiere at the Kamloops Arts Council’s Children’s Art Festival in 2016.

Considered the heart of the North Shore in Kamloops for many, The North Shore Community Centre Society is a charitable non-profit organi-zation that provides recreation, education and cultural activities for the senior members of our community. This book sale host-ed by the society is a fundrais-er that will help with operating costs and funding for senior’s programs at the Centre. Some of the activities they offer include

low impact fitness, art instruc-tion, dance, sports, games as well as health and well-being. The society hosts many activities for seniors as well as the general community. Their community events are always open to the public; they welcome all ages and nationalities, and the build-ing is wheelchair accessible.

The idea of sitting inside and relaxing with a good book is something we all cannot help but think about! With this kind of travel, who needs the tropics? Get ready to pass the time away. Join area bookworms, browse the selection, dig for bargains and see what you find!

Overdue hikers located by RCMP helicopterThree adult males and a 7-year-old

boy who were reported overdue from a day hike up the Tranquille River north of the Tranquille Farm, were located by an RCMP helicopter from Kamloops. The group were expecting to be back by early Tuesday evening but around 5:30 pm the father of the 7-year-old notified the boy’s mother by cell phone that the trek was taking considerably longer than anticipated. he reported that everyone was ok, that the group would continue walking until 8:00 pm and then would hunker down for the night if they had not reached their vehicles.

Police were called by the boy’s mother just before 8:30 pm when the group had not reached their vehicles and when cell phone contact could not be re-established. Search and Rescue (SAR) were notified and a command post was established near the group’s destination point, the first bridge on Tranquille Rd. crossing the river. A risk assessment was conducted regarding the hazards of sending a ground team and police dog into that area at night. SAR volunteers familiar with the area

identified that there was no established trail for the route taken by the hikers. That route followed the waterway up through steep walled terrain with risky drop off areas down into the river.

With the knowledge that the hikers were staying in place for the night, that they had access to water and a lighter to build a fire, and that the overnight conditions were forecast to be warm and dry, a decision was made to wait until first light this morning before sending SAR volunteers into the area. The police helicopter took off shortly after 6:00 am this morning and located the hikers about 1.5 to 2.0 km up the waterway from the SAR command post. A SAR volunteer was subsequently dropped off in a clearing near the hikers and sub-sequently joined up with the group. Arrangements were made to mobilize Quad ATV’s into the area to assist the group in leaving the area and the hik-ers were brought out of the area around 10:40 am this morning. Apart from being cold and hungry, members of the hiking party were not injured.

The Kamloops Curling Club will be host to the Valley First Crown of Curling from october 19 to 22. entering its 39th year—the Crown of Curling consists of 48 teams, 24 men’s and 24 women’s. The event attracts teams from around the world, europe, Asia and North America.

The event is also part of the World Curling Tour, which means prize money earned goes toward the overall points for the trials for the 2014 olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

“Curling is one of Canada’s classic winter pastimes,” says Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “As the title sponsor, we are proud to play our part in showcas-

ing Kamloops, support-ing the local community and attracting visitors and economic benefits to the region.”

As Rennie notes, beyond the competitive nature

of the Crown, attracting such a substantial field of curlers, coaches and fans also create huge potential for economic spinoff for Kamloops and the sur-rounding area.

Emergency at Kamloops AirportAt noon on August 22, 2012

Kamloops Airport received a call for assistance to attend to a fuel delivery vehicle that reported a fire on board. The vehicle was in the process of delivering fuel to a forestry air tanker at the Kamloops air tanker base.

911 was contacted and crews from Kamloops Fire Rescue responded. As a precaution, the airport also dispatched its new fire vehicle even

though it is not yet fully in service. once on scene, it was determined that the vehicle had malfunctioned and smoke from undetermined origin was the culprit. The truck was moved from the vicinity of the aircraft and was parked to await an inspection. No damage was reported to either the fuel truck or the aircraft and forestry operations resumed at the air tanker base by 12:40 pm.

NoRTh ShoRe eCho August 29, 2012 n 5 Business profile

More than ever, today’s adult children are balancing a variety of responsibilities including car-ing for their aging parents. At the same time, social isolation and loneliness reflect an issue of growing concern for seniors in Canada with about 37 per cent of Canadians age 75 and older living alone, according to Statis-tics Canada.

Research also shows that social isolation increases “caregiver bur-den,” with potentially negative ef-fects on health and quality of life. This currently impacts approxi-mately one-third of Canadian baby boomers who provide assis-tance to an aging family member, with about 70 per cent of caregiv-ers aged 45 to 64 actively work-ing, according to Statistics Cana-da and BMo Retirement Institute.

The good news is there are solutions to reduce the risks of social isolation for seniors and their family caregivers includ-ing retirement living. “Staying socially active, in a variety of physical, social and emotional activities can truly enrich life for seniors and help them build new social connections,” says Cera Brown, Sales Manager at Chart-well Select Renaissance Retire-ment Residence.

“Many of our residents and their family members also ap-preciate that the Renaissance offers the availability of on-site funded homecare,” adds Cera. “In fact, having the additional support in place, within the pri-vacy of their suites, can often help prolong independence for many of our residents.”

A retirement residence can also make time spent with adult children much more enjoyable as the worry subsides in know-ing that a loved one is well and active with help nearby should it be needed. “The Renaissance offers the programs and activi-ties your parent wants, with the support they need,” says Cera. For many adults, this results in a level of peace of mind that al-lows them to balance the oth-er busy aspects of their life in-cluding children, grandchildren, friends and work.”

If the time has come to con-sider your options, Chartwell Select Renaissance Retirement Residence may be the solution. You can contact Cera at 250-376-5363 or drop into 628 Tran-quille Road, Kamloops.

Society, a group who honoured and managed the incredible return of peo-

ple and salmon to the famous Roderick haig-Brown Park. Additional support is

Just An udder dAy At big LittLe sCienCe Centre - Dedicated summer student staff member Mark Bui is busy repairing “flying cows” for the BIG Little Science Centre. The flying cows are mounted on ceilings of hands-on rooms, to entertain young visitors. Mark purchased the flying cows at a garage sale. He figures that if one cow breaks, he will always have an “udder” one to replace it. The cows are turned off at 4:00pm, because BLSC is not a “fly by night” operation. Photo: Gordon Gore

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) Strength will come from your ability to over-take just about any one. Do not reveal personal information to those you feel may be untrustworthy. Your attitude is changing rapidly and your plate is overloaded. Don’t let your family put demands on you.LIBRA (Sept 24-oct 23) Get help setting up a reasonable budget. Look into ways of making extra cash. Set a limit on the amount you’re willing to spend, and be sure to stick to it. Your tendency to vacillate will drive everyone crazy. Use discretion, if involved with someone from work.SCORPIO (oct 24-Nov 22) Some time spent with that special someone should be your intent. Don’t overextend your self in order to add luxury items to your entertainment center. You may find that female colleagues will be more help than you anticipated.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Delve into your work if you can’t make amends at home. Any attractions toward clients will be one sided and must be put right out of your head. Your suggestions for fund raising events will be well received. Travel or short trips will be your best outlet.CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Don’t hesitate to look for alternatives that will enable you to raise the kind of donations you need to do the job right. You may experience financial loss if you don’t use good judgment. Someone you least expect may not have your best interests at heart.AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Be careful that you don’t overextend yourself. Uncertainty regarding your direction is likely. Don’t overextend your self in order to add luxury items to your entertainment center. Get the whole family involved in a worthwhile cause or cultural event.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) You will have original ideas for ways to make extra money. Take your time be fore making personal decisions. Be toler-ant, but don’t let any one take you for granted. Financial difficulties may be worrying you.ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) A friendship might suffer if money becomes an issue. Losses are likely if you get involved with uncertain individuals. You’ll feel much better when your slate is clean again. Don’t let others make you feel guilty or insecure.TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Get busy making those changes to your home. Try not to be too lavish with your lover. Don’t bother getting even; they’ll make themselves look bad. Partnerships will be successful.GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Be tactful if you see flaws in someone else’s work. You have to know what your boss wants if you expect to do your job correctly. You can enjoy entertainment if you join in and follow the crowd for a change.CANCER (June 22-July 22) You have bent over backward trying to help them and now it’s time to let them stand on their own two feet. Your childlike quality may get you into big trouble this week if you neglect your responsibilities. Do you really want to start something with someone you can’t reason with?LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Avoid letting family get involved in your per-sonal life. Try to have patience and refrain from being judgmental. De-pression may be likely if you’re away from home. You will be overly sensitive this week.
