Celebrating the Changing of the SeasonsThe evenings are getting

chill, the air is crisp, and the kids are back in school. Summer is going away, but rather than lamenting the onset of fall, the Parkcrest location of the Interior Indian Friendship Center (IIFC) has planned a free celebration for September 20 from 11am until 2pm.

Changing of the Seasons is a family gathering with Elders, chil-dren, and community members where all join together to express thanks, enjoy a traditional aborigi-nal meal, and honor Mother Earth.

Deanie Hansen, who counts this as the 9th celebration she has helped organize, describes, “It’s about traditions. We do drumming and singing, and everyone is welcome to par-ticipate.”

This idea of unity is what moti-vated Hansen to plan the event when she started as the Early Childhood Development Team Leader at the Center several years ago. She was searching for a way to better include Elders in the programming offered at the facility.

Hansen explains, “Some of our children don’t have Elders in their lives so I really wanted to bring [the Elders] in full circle…It’s important to have everyone in the same room, all under one roof sharing positive experiences.”

Adults honor the Elders by serving them their meals first, and everyone listens as Elders are given special opportunity to share sto-ries or give a prayer. “It’s about teaching respect,” reflects Hansen, “And it is wonderful to see our Elders look at our little ones with

hope and pride.”During the first Changing of

the Seasons celebration Hansen attended, toward the close of the ceremony, the leader had the participants form 3 concen-tric circles. In the innermost, all the children came together, held hands, and began walk-ing in a clockwise direction. In the next, the parents and other adults joined hands and started walking counterclock-wise. The last ring was formed by Elders.

Hansen learned the signifi-cance of the demonstration for that group: that children are the center, it is the paren-tal role to encircle and protect, and it is the role of Elders to support both the caregiv-ers and the little ones. When asked to say the closing prayer at the event, Hansen had to decline, “I was in tears; it was so beautiful.”

Children have a key role in Changing of the Seasons.

Hansen will call them to the circle where they will sing and share their talents: “Their expressions of pride when they know the songs is so significant…They have ownership in the event and even chil-dren new to the groups learn from the other children how to partici-pate and they start forming connections with others.”

The IIFC’s mission is to offer programs that foster positive relationships and empower people to achieve their fullest poten-tial. Their services range from providing infant massage classes

Kamloops residents will soon be waking up to a familiar voice and a new morning show this Fall as CBC today announced Shelley Joyce as the new host of

Daybreak Kamloops.The CBC Bureau is under con-

struction at 218 Victoria Street in Kamloops. It will be home to the new morning show and digital

service dedicated to local news, traffic and weather for residents of Kamloops and the surround-ing areas.

Shelley has hosted radio pro-grams in Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna and written for The Winnipeg Sun, Today’s Parent and the Vancouver Province. She has been part of the CBC Kelowna team for the last six years and her stories have also been heard on CBC national radio programs The Current and The Story from Here.

“We have been looking for-ward to this new addition to the CBC service in British Columbia,” says Johnny Michel, managing director of British Columbia. “The show will reach more than 100,000 people in the area and with Shelley’s tenure in broadcasting and remarkable style of story-telling, we will hear great things from Daybreak Kamloops.”

This rounds out CBC’s com-mitment to being rooted in the region as Kamloops resi-dents have already embraced CBC’s afternoon show radio West which broadcasts from CBC Kelowna and covers the Okanagan.

“I would like to welcome the

new CBC bureau to Kamloops,” said Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops Thompson Cariboo. “This new bureau will not only bring expanded services to our local residents but further our com-munity’s profile on the national stage.”

“Canadians have long told us they want local services,” says, Kirstine Stewart, executive vice-president, CBC English Services. “We made a commitment in our strategic plan to include the city of Kamloops and although it isn’t the extent at which we had planned prior to our cuts, we’re proud of what our team has been able to do for the residents in the area.”

The new Bureau is part of CBC’s 5-year strategic plan, “Everyone, Every Way”. The plan, which was released February 2011, calls for a number of strategic priorities including expansion of service in Kamloops. For more information go to cbc.radio-can-ada.ca/strategy2015/

Daybreak Kamloops will begin broadcasting on October 9 at 6:00am on CBC radio One on 94.1 FM in Kamloops. For more information on CBC in Kamloops, visit cbc.ca/kamloops

On behalf of the Honourable rona Ambrose, Minister for Status of Women, Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, announced the launch of a Call for Proposals for projects that will prevent and reduce violence against women and girls in Canada.

“Our government is taking concrete steps in the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls by helping communities address this important issue,” said Minister Ambrose. “By inviting propos-als for projects that address violence against women and girls, we are working together to create safe communities for all.”

The Government of Canada will accept funding applications for the call for propos-als in four thematic areas: Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in high-risk neighbourhoods; Engaging men and boys in ending violence against women and girls; Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in the name of “honour”; and Preventing and reducing the

trafficking of women and girls through com-munity planning

“I encourage all interested organizations in Kamloops – Thompson – Cariboo to apply and help make a difference for girls and women who face various forms of violence,” concluded McLeod.

For more information on criteria and dead-lines please visit women.gc.ca.

Rev. LeAnn Blackett, right, of Mount Paul United Church was elated to receive a donation from Moose Lodge 1552 administrator Jack Buchanan. LeAnn says the consensus of the soup kitchen gals was that the money would go to a new freezer, or possibly a new stove.

In a meeting with City staff this morning, CAO David Trawin announced changes to be made to the City’s corporate structure.

With the upcoming retirement of Len Hrycan, Director of Community and Corporate Affairs, Trawin announced that Director of Public Works and Sustainability David Duckworth would be assuming his role. In addition, the Information Technology Division (IT), which is currently in the Finance Department, will be moved under his direction. The restructured department will be renamed Corporate Services and Community Safety. Finance Director Sally Edwards will remain as the head of the Finance Department.

“This move allows for the finance department to focus solely on finance, in turn allowing the City to become more accountable and more efficient in its purchasing as well as capital expen-ditures,” commented David Trawin. “With David’s skill set, he is a good fit for the position. Additionally, he is well versed in IT, so moving IT under his directorship makes sense.”

The transition will take place over the next two months, although Duckworth assumes his new role on October 8. The Director of Public Works and Sustainability position will be posted both internally and externally in the coming weeks.

As fall is upon us, Interior Community Services is once again promoting the notion of it’s “Cool to be Kind”. Seven years ago, the agency was a part of bringing the Extreme Kindness Crew; a group of four young Canadian men who have traveled North America, promot-ing the concept of paying it forward through random acts of kindness, to Kamloops. The agency was so inspired by their message and enthusiasm that they felt compelled to build the same theme as part of their annual message to the community. It is with great enthu-siasm that they present the Kamloops Cool to Be Kind Week October 1 to 5 and have hopes that City Council will official proclaim the week.

They will present an entire week worth of events embracing the idea of sharing,

caring and giving back to the com-munity that we all live, work and play in. They are urging the community to through their closets, boxes and storages and consider donating any winter jack-ets, gloves, toques and sleeping bags that could be spared. These items will be provided to folks in the community who are much less fortunate. Thursday, October 4 the staff at ICS will be pro-viding a free chili luncheon, through donations from wonderful community businesses, and will have the warm gear available at that time. If you have some-thing to pass along it can be dropped off at Interior Community Services, 396 Tranquille rd. If you have any ques-tions or are interested in participating in other ways in this event please contact the office at 250-554-3134.

Family History Society celebrates 30th AnniversaryA group of strang-

ers, lured by advertising throughout the community, met for the first time in the Kamloops Library on September 8, 1982. On that evening their shared interest in genealogy and family history led them to form a Society which would encourage and assist people in the search for their ancestors. They held their first official meeting September 22, 1982.

From its early days, the Society has organized many seminars and raised money to purchase books, microfilms, microfiche and other research materials that are available to assist people in their research. The indexes to the BC Vital Statistics have been purchased and regularly updated by the Society and these are available for anyone to search at the Kamloops Branch of TNrD Library System.

The group has taken on many projects such as the recording of many local cemeteries, the indexing of the Kamloops Funeral Home records and, this year, photos of the

Pleasant Street Cemetery were completed for the Can Gen Web Cemetery project. A number of books, as well as cop-

ies of the Society journal “Family Footsteps”, have been compiled and pub-lished and all are avail-able for sale. Since 1985

the Journal has reached all corners of the globe and contains a variety of articles each time on such things as local history, research techniques and stories about member’s ancestors.

This year the group celebrates its 30th Anniversary and a special social evening is planned for September 27, 7pm at the Heritage House downtown. Anyone who has been a member at any time in the past is welcome to attend the meeting and renew old acquaintances.

For more information, details or membership information see the Society website at www.kfhs.org.

tO KnOt Or nOtWith fall in the air, it’s the perfect time to pick up that knitting project that you’ve been ignoring all summer and that’s exactly what Elsie Swiatkewich is trying to do. She’s pictured here with her daughter Donna, of Donna’s Yarn and Craft Centre, getting some much needed help. The tables have turned as Elsie was the one who taught Donna to knit in order to receive a badge in Brownies. Donna was just eight when she took up the craft. Today Donna is the one who helps her mom with that ‘stupid’ sweater pattern that doesn’t look just right!

The French ConnectionThe Francophone Association, 348 Fortune Drive, is hosting their annual Fall Corn

roast on Saturday, September 22. Doors open at 5:00pm and activities will start at 5:30pm. Corn and Hotdogs will be served at 6:00pm. The Francophone Association are asking those interested in attending to bring their own beverages as well as chips, salad or desert to share with everyone.

In days past among Acadians and Quebeckers, friends and neighbours would gather to husk and cook fresh corn at a communal harvesting of corn crops. These social events also included games to encourage social mixing.

Since 1979, the Association francophone de Kamloops has promoted the French lan-guage and culture through offering cultural, social and educational activities in French to the Francophones and Francophiles in the region, and anyone interested in the French language. rSVP to 250-376-6060 to confirm attendance.

Jam Can Cafe is like a vacation. For Caribbean food lovers and cu-linary adventurers, a little piece of Jamaica lies tucked away on the North Shore of river City.

Kamloops is a city where diver-sity is growing. Jamaica itself is an enormously diverse country and the origins of cooking styles span diverse ethnic traditions. With this in mind, the cafe’s owner Kamau Metsimela decided it was time to bring some of his culture home to river City. With the assistance of Denise Metsimela, he opened the cafe on August 1 and has since been serving up some incredible Caribbean cuisine as well as of-fering traditional North American breakfast and lunch fare to local neighbourhood diners. Word gets around fast and now people from other areas of the city are coming in to taste something refreshingly different.

The cafe is located at #102-1157 12th Street and every day there are great-tasting traditional Jamai-can lunch specials available. The feature dishes are served with an abundance of coconut rice with peas and steamed vegetables. Plantain is also served here. It is

a banana that is cooked and is a sweet surprise of an exotic expe-rience. Johnnycake, a cornmeal flatbread and Jamaican patties are also big hits.

Techniques used to prepare their meat, and poultry dishes focus on jerk and curry spices. Jerk is an orchestra of tastes and sensation-al vibrations made up of a com-bination of chilies, thyme, spices, sometimes cinnamon, ginger, all-spice and cloves. If you’ve never tasted jerk, they serve the finest, authentic jerk taste, just like your mama makes (if she’s an excellent Jamaican cook). With the addition of their signature spices, popular sandwich items such as their Jam Club, become old favourites with a new twist.

If you have a bit of a sweet-tooth then a bit of traditional rum Cake

just might hit the spot. Not to be overlooked, Sweet Temptations Cheesecake is located in the same space! With so many menu choic-es, all made fresh with quality in-gredients and served in a warm, comfortable setting, Jam Can of-fers their guests a dining experi-ence they won’t soon forget.

They offer eat-in, take-out and delivery as well as catering ser-vices and are open from 6:00am to 3:00pm, Monday through Friday and 7:00am until 3:00pm on Satur-days. You can find them on Face-book or follow them on Twitter.

Jam Can Cafe is guaranteed to aide you in your quest for a tasty, spicy tidal wave that hits your mouth after a few bites. Is this love that I’m feeling?

u My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely. u Every time I think about exercise, I lie down til the thought goes away.

u It’s frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody both-ers to ask you the questions.

u If you can remain calm, you just don’t have all the facts. u Stress reducer: Put a bag on your head. Mark it “Closed for remodelling.” Caution - leave air holes.

u I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart. u There cannot be a crisis this week; my schedule is already full. u The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes. u The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Now this puts things in perspective.

Funny bits of news clippings

sleeping like a baby

From The Guardian con-cerning a sign seen in a Police canteen in Christchurch, New Zealand: “Will the person who took a slice of cake from the Commissioner’s Office return it immediately. It is needed as evi-dence in a poisoning case.”

From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: “Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled ‘For The Sick,’ is for monetary donations only.”

From The Times: A young girl, who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth, was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coast-guard spokesman com-mented: ‘This sort of thing is all too common these days.’

From The Gloucester Citizen:A sex line caller complained to

Trading Standards. After dialling an 0891 number from an adver-tisement entitled ‘Hear Me Moan’ the caller was played a tape of

a woman nagging her husband for failing to do jobs around the house. Consumer Watchdogs in Dorset refused to look into the complaint, saying, ‘He got what he deserved.’

From The Scottish Big Issue:In Sydney, 120 men named

Henry attacked each other during a ‘My Name is Henry’ conven-tion. Henry Pantie of Canberra accused Henry Pap of Sydney of not being a Henry at all, but in fact an Angus. ‘It was a lie’, explained Mr. Pap, ‘I’m a Henry and always will be,’ whereup-on Henry Pap attacked Henry Pantie, whilst two other Henrys - Jones and Dyer - attempted to pull them apart. Several more Henrys - Smith, Calderwood and Andrews - became involved and soon the entire convention descended into a giant fist fight. The brawl was eventually broken up by riot police, led by a man named Shane.

While the U.S. stock market was at an all time high, the ups and downs frightened a lot of small investors. A guy went to his financial adviser at the bank and ask if he were worried.

He replied that he slept like a baby.He was amazed and asked, “really? Even with all the fluctuations?”He said, “Yes. I sleep for a couple of hours, then wake up and cry

for a couple of hours...”

YOUR DIRECTORY OFNaturalHealthVIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) Anger may cause you grief; control your

temper and try to sit back and calm down. Your need to use emotional blackmail will only cause more conflict. Emotionally you won’t see things accurately. You will find the excitement gratifying.LIBRA (Sept 24-Oct 23) You will need to do a lot of research if you wish to get to the bottom of things. Do things for them but don’t allow them to make unreasonable requests. Try not to lend or borrow money this week.SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Your talents are likely to be discovered. Be extra careful with your valuables; loss and theft are evident this week. Promote your ideas now. You may find yourself interested in more than one person.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Don’t draw too much attention to yourself at work. Don’t give out any personal information that you don’t want spread around. You may find it difficult to discuss personal matters with family members.CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Close deals that have been up in the air and move on to new ones that appear to be profitable. Join humanitarian groups and let your leadership ability take over. Put in some extra hours and finish those careful jobs before you move on to some fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Take time to look at any outdated papers or possible investments. Be ready to explain your actions. You will find yourself tied to the phone. Hidden assets can be doubled if you play your cards correctly.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Go over their important documents and take the time to suggest alternatives. Involvement in groups will be favorable and lead to valuable information. Do not blow situations out of propor-tion. You’ll meet new friends if you try new activities.ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) Make sure all of your travel and driver’s documents are in proper order. Finish off old projects before starting something new. Your temper could get the better of you if you confront personal situations. Try to deal with it quickly; don’t dwell on past regrets.TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Don’t overdo it. You need to enjoy your-self. Plan some family outings. Your partner will be emotionally unable to cope. You may be up for some changes in your home.GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You will have a little more energy than usual. Deep discussions may only lead to friction. Any renovation or decorating to your home should include the whole family. You’ll get to your destination just as quickly.CANCER (June 22-July 22) Lovers will be less than accommodating, and decisions regarding personal direction a necessity. You will want to take off and have some recreation. You are best to work at home, clear-ing up overdue projects. You’ll impress new friends with your wit.LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Do your job and then spend some time with family; you’ll be glad you did. Make changes to your home that will be pleasing to everyone involved. You will be on the rampage this week. Anger could lead to problems.
