a small city located in the heart of the Thompson okanagan, Kamloops with its low popu-lation, laid back lifestyle and ranching roots is growing up. we have a world-class universi-ty now, a brand new law school, sports facilities like no other, and international mining companies amongst much, much more. The next step to becoming a world player is having a international baccalaureate school and if norKam secondary school has its way, it should be fully cer-tified and ready to adopt the world recognized program as of september 2012.

The international baccalaur-eate (ib) is a non-profit educa-tional foundation, motivated by its mission, focused on the stu-dent. They have three programs for students aged 3 to 19, which help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Founded in 1968, they currently work with 3,305 schools in 141 countries to develop and offer three challenging programs to over 969,000 students aged 3 to 19 years. norKam is an official candidate for the ib diploma program. They are in offi-

cial candidate status and they couldn’t be happier!

“we have been in the process of being certified for the last 30 months,” explains Murray williams, ib Counsellor at norKam. “part of that process includes training teachers to teach the program, reviewing policies, practices and philoso-phies. This october, an exter-nal team from the ib world organization will be coming to visit the school. we are very excited and very close to certi-fication.”

The ib program is geared toward the individual who feels unchallenged by regular cur-riculum/classes; is inquisitive, creative and self-directed; has the desire to explore in order to understand the world; has above average achievement/ability level and plans to attend col-lege or university. The results of graduating from an ib world school include preferential treatment at universities, early admissions and scholarships. students tend to perform better in first-year university, get high-er marks, drop fewer classes and complete their degrees.

already norKam students in grade 10 are being given the opportunity to take part in the ‘pre-program’. norKam has offered four grade ten honours/Foundations courses that will prepare students for ib stud-ies in grade 11 and 12. “These core subjects this year are being taught using the ib philoso-phy,” continues Murray. “we have 60 kids enrolled right now. we expect when we are certi-fied that we will have kids come from all over the district and abroad. we have already had a few visits from families looking to relocate to bC from all over the world and have been look-ing for schools all over. They are interested in this program because they want their kids in

world schools.internationally recognized,

ib world schools are the gold standard of education around the world. and the ib program is recognized at universities all over the world. This being said, contrary to belief, it is not an exclusive program. “it’s not an elitist program,” finishes Murray. “it is open to everyone who is hardworking. we are looking for hardworking stu-dents. we look at report cards, make them fill out an applica-tion, do a writing sample, talk to their former teachers and their parents to see if this is a good fit. we don’t want to set anyone up for failure. any hardwork-ing student can get into the program. it is not necessarily about the grades. a hardwork-ing C student can get into the

program. Just because someone has a C or C- doesn’t mean they can’t do well. it could mean a lot of things like they are bored or unchallenged and have lost focus. This program isn’t harder its just more in-depth and a little faster paced.”

Let’s wish norKam the best in their application. This time next year we may very well be just a little higher on the ladder that is the world stage and our children may have a few more doors opened up for them.

Planting a rock garden for peaceMayor peter Milobar has proclaimed

wednesday, september 21 “world peace day” in Kamloops.

To inaugurate world peace day, the Japanese peace bell is rung at un headquarters in new york City. The bell is cast from coins donated by chil-dren from all continents. peace day has grown to include millions of people in all parts of the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day.

in Kamloops, there will be a peace celebration at riverside park from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. on wednesday, september 21. participants can choose a rock from the riverbed, receive a First nations blessing for the rock, paint the rock with a peaceful word or picture and plant it with others to spell the word “peace” in the newly-dedicated peace garden.

“There’ll be lots of sidewalk chalk

and we’d like to see peace messag-es and images all the way from the pier to the high-water marker,” said pat Zogar of the Centre for spiritual Living Kamloops who is organizing the event.

There’ll be white peace dove badges to wear to demonstrate your commit-ment to peace.

The international day of peace was established by a united nations resolu-tion in 1981 to coincide with the open-ing of the general assembly. by creat-ing the international day of peace, the un devoted itself to worldwide peace and encouraged all of mankind to work in cooperation for this goal.

anyone who has an idea for their own peace project is welcome to bring it down to the park for all to see.

For more information, contact pat Zogar at 250-682-2164, or by email at: [email protected].

in Canada suicide claims the lives of more than 3,500 people each year. in 2009, over 500 deaths in b.C. were attributed to suicide. hospitalization due to self-harming and suicidal behaviours is even more common. between 2008 and 2009, there were over 3000 self-inflicted injuries that required hospitalization in b.C. and some of those injuries were by children as young as 10 years old.

“There are many things com-munities can do to prevent suicide. recognizing the signs of suicide and creating suicide-safer communities are key to helping people at risk,” said Jenny Turco, population health Facilitator with interior health.

on september 10, world suicide prevention day, events took place across Canada and around the world to promote suicide aware-ness and prevention. This year the Canadian association for suicide prevention (Casp) in partnership with Livingworks education has chosen “building suicide-safer Communities” as its theme.

“a suicide-safer Community is one that demonstrates a commitment to suicide prevention, provides com-passionate care and support to those bereaved by suicide and promotes the mental health and wellness of its citizens,” added Turco. “it’s impor-tant communities address the issue openly so that people at risk feel comfortable speaking up and seeking

help from someone they can trust.” here’s what communities can do to

become suicide safer: provide pub-lic education and awareness about the warning signs of suicide; pro-vide support to people bereaved by suicide; promote the mental health and well being of all its citizens by providing opportunities to strength-en family, school and cultural con-nections; promote opportunities for community involvement and deci-sion making

Casp and Livingworks education recognize it is critically important for communities to establish their own suicide prevention action plans based on their unique character and

needs. a “building a suicide-safer Community” web page has been developed to assist communities. To learn how to get involved and become a designated “building suicide safer Community” visit: www.suicidesafercommunities.com or www.suicideprevention.ca.

help is available for those who are feeling suicidal through crisis lines such as 1-800 suiCide, local Mental health and substance use services, family physicians and hos-pitals. Many communities also offer suicide survivor support groups. websites such as www.crisiscentre.bc.ca or www.youthinbc.com are also available.

Fall in to soccer seasonexpect to see lots of young

soccer players in colourful uni-forms on local soccer pitches, because the Kamloops youth soccer association’s (Kysa) fall season has kicked off.

a total of 180 boys and girls teams in the under-5 age group up to the under-12 division return to the playing fields after a two month break for one more month of soccer activity before winter sets in.

Thirty-four of the 180 teams play in the under-11 and under-12 divisions, where teams are now tiered based on the spring/

summer season’s league stand-ings. Teams in these divisions will be competing to finish in the top two spots in their group where they will earn champi-onship medals and trophies sponsored by the Kysa’s long-standing house league sponsor, Mcdonald’s.

The spring/summer season runs from mid-april to the end of June. There is no youth soccer activity scheduled in the months of July and august. Teams in the u-13 up to u-18 age groups play only in the spring/summer season.

Ripening green tomatoesa woman’s gar-den is growing beautifully but the darn toma-toes won’t ripen.

There’s a limit to the number of uses

for green tomatoes and she’s get-ting tired of it. so she goes to her neighbor and says, “your tomatoes are ripe, mine are green. what can i do about it?’’ her neighbor replies, “well, it may sound absurd

but here’s what to do. Tonight there’s no moon. after dark go out into your garden and take all your clothes off. Tomatoes can see in the dark and they’ll be embar-rassed and blush. in the morning they’ll all be red, you’ll see.’’

well, what the heck? she does it. The next day her neighbor asks how it worked. “so-so,’’ she answers, “The tomatoes are still green but the cucumbers are all four inches longer.”

New trends in gardeninggardener brian Minter will dis-cuss “new Trends in gardening” on sept. 18 at 2:00 p.m. in the barber Centre in the Tru house of Learning building. presented

did you ever search futilely for something you’d lost, give up the search and have it just show up? sometimes we have to stop looking in order to find our lost objects – and our lost answers.

our subconscious minds are filled with answers. i believe that in our subconscious mind we are all connected, that there is a common mind, accessible to us all, that has all the answers. but how do we access it?

Meditation is one way. we can request an answer from the com-mon mind and then simply sit. often we will suddenly have the urge to “look somewhere else,” or “try something else” and we will find our answer.

another way is to request an answer during sleep. we may have a dream that provides the answer or may simply wake up in the morning, knowing.

in my philosophy, universal Mind is one term we use to

describe the divinity. This is what is sacred and holy, this

commonality that we all have, this knowing that we are all one and that what is known to one of us can be known to all of us.

and this of course is the basis for the golden rule: “do unto others as you would have others

do unto you.” because when we know that we are one at our core, we know that we cannot hurt anyone else without hurting our-selves, we cannot deprive anyone else without depriving ourselves, and every time we do good for another, we benefit ourselves.

every religion and every faith tradition has a teaching similar to the golden rule. it is the wisdom of all ages and all paths.

Trust your subconscious mind; it is tapped into god itself.

New TNRD/CUPE agreementThe Thompson-nicola

regional district’s (Tnrd) board of directors is pleased to confirm that an agreement has been reached with Canadian union of public employees Local 900 ending december 31, 2013.

The agreement applies to all unionized staff in the civic office and includes operations, planning, building inspection, solid waste, utilities, finance and administration.

“The board of directors is very pleased with the ami-cable negotiation process and

the favourable outcome,” said Tnrd chair peter Milobar.

The new Collective agreement is in effect from Jan. 1, 2011 through to december 31, 2013. some of the key elements of the new collective agreement include a 2 per cent raise per year for the three years, plus minor increases to benefits, and minor housekeeping changes.

“The union has been in bar-gaining with the Tnrd for nine months so it is nice to see that it resulted in a positive outcome,” said Jason Tomlin, Cupe Local 900 president.

Kid’s lesson in fire safetyThe Fire d e p t a r t m e n t were invit-ed to a local e l e m e n t a r y

school to talk to the children about fire safety in the home. one of the firemen

let off a smoke alarm, which made its customary high-pitched noise.

The 6 year olds were asked what the noise represented. a little boy’s hand went up and he answered, “That’s mommy cooking dinner.”

The desert sounds harmony Chorus is recruiting new mem-bers, and here’s what they want to tell you:

yes, you can do this! C’mon, you’ve been putting it off long enough. you’ve run out of excuses, plain and simple. you know you want to...who wouldn’t! who wouldn’t want to be part of a group of fun ladies who like to sing four- part barbershop style harmony! we love to rehearse, perform and compete in this unique art form. not only that, we have a blast doing it!

we’re teachers, moms, grand-mas, labourers, retirees...just like you! we started out just because we like singing in the shower,

along to the radio, or to our kids at bedtime. Most of us had no formal musical training and half of us can’t even read music... you don’t really have to! you learn repertoire just by listening to the provided learning tracks you can download onto your ipod or Mp3 player.

still kind of intimidating? no worries! you won’t have to be the lone new girl. bring a friend, sister, or another female support. we set up a four-week plan for newbies like you to ease your way in. it’s four consecutive Tuesdays starting september 27 at 7:00 p.m. at heritage house in riverside park. Contact the choir’s membership gal Maureen by e-mail at: [email protected].

a policeman had a perfect hiding place to screen speeding driv-ers. but one day, ev-eryone was under the speed limit. The

officer investigated and found a nine year old boy was standing on the side of the road

with a huge hand-painted sign which said “speed CaMera ahead.”

a little more investigative work led the officer to the boy’s partner in crime, another boy about 200 metres beyond the speed camera with a sign reading “Tips” and a bucket at his feet full of coins.

Get the message – drive cell safedriving while using a hand-held

cell phone isn’t just illegal - it’s dangerous. driving demands our full attention. Twenty-five per cent of vehicle crashes each year can be attributed to drivers being distracted. The number one cause of distraction? wireless electronic devices, such as cell phones.

since January 1, 2010, talking, typing, texting or dialing on a hand-held cell phone or any hand-held portable electronic device while driving is subject to a $167 fine and a penalty of three points. This is to help us all stay focused on driving and make b.C.’s roads safer for everyone.

only hands-free cell phones and devices that require one touch to activate are permitted. note:

a full ban applies to drivers in the graduated Licensing program (gLp) who are not permitted to use hands-free cell phones.

a driver can’t use a hand-held electronic communication device, which includes hand-held cell phones, pdas and other elec-tronic hand-held devices (i.e., Mp3 players, gps navigation systems, etc.). also, a driver can’t send or receive text messages or electronic email on any type of electronic device.

The fine amount is $167. however, drivers caught texting or emailing will receive three pen-alty points in addition to the fine. gLp drivers will receive the $167 fine and three penalty points for any violation of this legislation.

no matter what side of the political spec-trum you sit on, what your thoughts on war are, no matter how old you are or if you have children, everyone should take a few minutes out of their day this upcoming Thursday, July 28 and head down to riverside park to take a look at the portraits of honour tour that will be rolling into town that day.“157 Canadian soldiers have died in combat in afganistan,” explains portraits of honour artist dave sopha. “The portraits of honour national Tour is centred on a 10’ x 35’ oil painted mural featuring the hand painted por-traits of the 155 Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew who have lost their lives while serving in afghanistan. The last two have lost their lives since the tour has started and their por-traits will be in progress along the way.”The mural has taken Kinsmen and volunteer artist dave sopha over 6,500 hours so far to paint but admits that his work won’t be com-plete until our combat mission in afghanistan comes to a close. The mural will be toured across Canada in a specialized mobile display trailer and organizers expect to raise over $1.5 million. The funds raised will support the Military Families Fund and established military charities to assist families of the fallen and to assist the thousands of military personnel who return home with physical or emotional injuries. organizers will also seek to fund other charities who offer additional troop and family support that falls outside of the Military Families Fund mandate.although the journey across Canada only started this May, the whole project has beengoing much longer. it all started back in

2008 while dave’s nephew was serving in afganistan. “in 2008 my nephew was on his 2nd or 3rd tour in afganistan,” he explains. “we would watch and read the news and hear of fallen soldiers, we always had our fingers crossed that it wasn’t sean and were happy to find out it wasn’t him. i was ashamed to be happy at someone else’s loss as these soldiers are somebody’s child. These postage stamp

size pictures did not give these soldiers justice so i went out and had a special made canvas created and painted bigger than life portraits of all of our fallen soldiers. The response has been overwhelming.”More than coming to see his work, dave hopes that people come out in every city to show support for those families who have lost

artistic talent during an eight-month recovery following a car accident in 1970 that left him with

a broken back. Dave has had an extensive career supporting military murals across the country in

Dave’s first excursion in to the world of oil painting.

with a wagon in tow, three of

the hardest working summer stu-

dents make their way to riverside

park every Tuesday through

saturday. These university stu-

dents are andrew Crabbe, Kirsten

sandberg and dianna springford,

also known as the Kamloops arts

Council’s rivertown players.

“Join the rivertown players

as they bring don Quixote, sir

gawain and The green Knight,

and percy and The dragon to

life. This is storytelling of epic

proportions – physical comedy,

songs, and interactive fun with

each character telling their own

story,” explains Jacquie brand,

general manager of the Kamloops

arts Council.The rivertown players theatre

company is only two years old

but the program as a whole has

been going on for seven. They

have been making headlines in

Kamloops for the last few sum-

mers and this season is no excep-

tion. The talented theatre group

stages live theatre shows for kids

of all ages twice daily at riverside

park and special performances

elsewhere throughout the summer

including every day of the western

Canada summer games.

“it’s a lot of fun,” explains

Kirsten. “we’ve all gone to school

to do this. it is great working expe-

rience.” “To get a job within the-

atre in the summer is really good.

There are not many opportuni-

ties,” adds diana. “having a sum-

mer job in your field is definitely

really nice,” finishes andrew.

out of school for the sum-

mer doesn’t mean their learn-

ing has stopped. all three of the

rivertown players, have worked

extremely hard on these summer

performances. They have done

everything from build the sets and

design the costumes to write the

material and do their own set up

each day. a hands on approach to

learning first hand what it takes

to put on a show will help these

young adults for years into their

future careers.with a medieval theme in hand,

the team went to work writing,

designing and producing. what

they came up with was two dif-

ferent productions; part one which

they performed all of July and

now part two which you can catch

down at the riverside park until

the end of august. They have also been making

appearances at different events

and festivals within the city and

i think i hear the school bell ringing and with that all too familiar sound comes lunch making, extra curricular activities, home-work and the hardest job a parent has to do, which is encouraging and guiding theirchild through another school year.Like everyone else, children are all indi-viduals; there are kids like my daughter who love school with a capital L, there are kids like my son who are extremely brilliant but just the thought of going to school makes them weep inside. how oh how do you con-vince your children that working hard now and taking an active part in what could be viewed as the most important period in life is something that is worth it for them to do?well no one person has an exact answerfor that but by learning what is importantto your child sometimes you can think cre-atively and motivate them with something they do care about. Just ask north shoreresident and grandpa harry Madden. at the spry young age of 79, harry promised his granddaughter rose douglas, a north shorehigh school student, that if she buckleddown and took an active role in her educa-tion that he would do the unthinkable (to him that is) and get his ear pierced.“i am not a jewelry man,” laughs harry. “i have gone my whole life only wearing a wedding band and sometimes a watch. iam definitely against any kind of piercing. iagreed to get an earring just to motivate my little granddaughter.”The good news – it worked. harry gave his granddaughter a reason to stop procras-

tinating and that little push made her standup and take an active role in her life. sheworked hard and made the semester honour roll for the first time in her life.“she got on the honour roll,” continuedharry, “and i had to put my money where my big mouth is. i didn’t know it was a semester system. i thought i would have been a year until she reached her goal but he got it on the

very first one. she got on the honour roll and i got an earring. she says it’s cute, but i don’t know about that. you have to do anything you can for your children. it’s as simple as that. you do what you have to do to help guide them through life.”The moral of the story is as a parent you need to be an active participant in your– continued on page 2

we are lucky that we live in the

midst of some of the best farm

land and natural food sources

around. That tied with the fact that

we also have a myriad of amaz-

ing culinary artists and chefs that

could go toe to toe in competition

with chefs from all over the world

make being able to enjoy a great

meal using fresh, delicious, and

sustainable products pretty easy.

The Thompson-shuswap Chef

Farmer Collaborative (TsCFC) is

a non-profit organization made up

of chefs and farmers who seeks to

celebrate local food in our region

using sustainable programs that

inspire and educate our member-

ship and the community about

the benefits of eating local. They

work on helping foster respon-

sible regional agriculture, sustain-

ability, and food security.

in an attempt to showcase this

fact to the community as a whole

the Thompson-shuswap Chef

Farmer Collaborative has come

up with a way to introduce the

community about the benefits of

eating locally. The one day event

is aptly named Farms2Chefs

Fundraiser and it will be one

event that you will not want to

miss.“we take over a farm for the

day, invite the public, and let

our chefs show off the best of

what our farmers/producers

offer,” explains ed walker of

the Thompson-shuswap Chef

Farmer Collaborative. “Chefs

create tasty one-bite dishes, local

wineries and breweries pour the

finest of beverages. Come enjoy

live entertainment and children’s

activities.”Connecting the best farmers and

producers in the region with the

best chefs from the best restau-

rants, Farms2Chefs is happen-

ing sunday, august 7 from 3pm

to 8pm at Thistle Farms out in

westsyde. Tickets are $60 for

adults, $20 for 12 and under,

5 and under are free. They are

available at wednesday and

saturdays Farmer’s Markets, at

some participating restaurants

and online at tscfc.org. The pub-

lic gets to interact directly with

our membership. Money raised

goes towards the TsCFC grant,

available to farmers and local

food security groups.

“we’ve been connected with

food security issues for a long

time,” explains dieter dudy of

Thistle Farms. “in order to make

the event viable, we had to pick

somewhere close where people

are likely to come, so i offered to

do it. The whole event is thanks

to ed walker who pursued it and

made people aware. This is such

a great opportunity for everyone,
