This Thursday, November 11 take a little time out of your day and head down to Riverside Park for our city’s annual Remembrance Day Ceremonies. An armistice was signed 89 years ago to officially end the First World War. Since then, every year on November 11th at 11:00am, two minutes of silence is observed to remember the sacrifices made by those who have fought to give us and help us keep the freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis. As the generations pass it can be easy for people to forget or dismiss the importance of Remembrance Day and the legacy of all those who fought in the world wars. So make this year the one to get back in touch with our coun-try’s heritage. Alongside the veterans will be many young folk including area Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Cadets whose leaders and guides recognize the importance of stay-ing in touch with the past.

“All of our contingents go down to the cenotaph,” explains Barrie Lockton, area commissioner. “Last year about 150 of our 300 youth went down. It is quite a large contingent. We have the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers who are all between the

ages of 5 and 25, and their leaders. It is a pretty remarkable sight.”

Scouting in Canada started well before Remembrance Day and the young participants have been taking part in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies since the very beginning. Scouting in Kamloops has had an active group in town continuously since 1911, and they

are about to celebrate their 100th anniversary this spring.

“Veterans and Scouts have had a terrific tie and bond for many years,” continues Barrie. “Scouts in uniform cannot raise money for anything else but scouting. They cannot have lemonade stands or sell cookies but they can put on their uniforms and join in on the

legion’s poppy campaign. We participate in selling poppies and how we can do that shows the tie that we have had for so many years. We also take an active role in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies. We meet behind the Heritage House on Lorne St. and

St. John Ambulance Lifesaving Awards are to be presented to Wally Makortoff (MFR/oFA 3), Alp Isin (MFR), and Shirley Wellbourn (RN/MFR) for their actions in saving the life of John Sommer after an ATV crash dur-ing a race at the Whispering Pines off Road Race Track located approximately 40 kms north of downtown Kamloops.

on Sunday afternoon June 28, 2009 Wally Makortoff and Alp Isin were providing first aid coverage as volunteers for St. John Ambulance Division 518 at the Kamloops off Road Racing Associations sanc-tioned races at the Whispering Pines off Road Race Track. At approximately 3:00pm during a quad race they observed a crash resulting from a racer being thrown at high speed from his quad after the handlebars appeared to have broken, he was then struck by another quad that was following him. The results of the impact left John uncon-scious with a broken neck and severe head injuries face down in full racing gear on the loose dirt track. Responding to the crash location Wally and Alp immediately took control of the incident, stabilized the patient and started to assess injuries. At this point they requested Shirley Wellbourn, who was in the stands, be called to help assist and 911 be contacted. They provided first aid and packaged the patient using full spinal precautions for removal from the track area via the St. John Ambulance post. During this time John started to sei-zure, stopped breathing several times, and his breathing had to be assisted. About 40 min-

utes later the BC Ambulance Service, BLS unit arrived from Barriere, BC and the ALS unit arrived from Kamloops, Wally, Alp and Shirley worked along side the BC Ambulance para-medics to prep John for a trans-port via helicopter to hospital in Kamloops.

John Sommer was in ICu at Royal Inland Hospital in a coma for over week and has since made a remarkable recovery. Due to the extent of his injuries the actions of Wally, Alp and Shirley most certainly contrived to saving his life without causing further

injuries and his remarkable recovery.

For these actions Wally Makortoff, Alp Isin, and Shirley Wellbourn are com-mended for their team work, rapid response and for their knowledge and use of first aid in saving a life.

one of our jobs is to hand out the programs. As well our youth lay wreaths down. The veterans just love them.”

Here in Kamloops, we can all attend the annual Remembrance Day Ceremonies. Happening at Riverside Park on November 11, the morning starts with a proces-

sion at 10:40am with the official ceremonies and silence at 11am. The day includes a Mounting of the guard of Honour, a flyover, a ceremony and a parade. get to the park early and take part in the festivities.

“The parade will begin on Lorne Street heading west under the 1st Avenue underpass, west on West Victoria around the traffic

island, then east on Victoria Street past City Hall, continuing east on Victoria Street to dispersal area in the 400 block of Victoria Street,” tells event representative Walter giesbrecht of the Royal Canadian Legion #52 “The youth groups turn right off Victoria, go south on 4th Ave. to St. Paul St., left on St. Paul St. for dispersal and continue into the united Church Hall for

refreshments.”After the parade and festivities,

Making the transition from child-hood to young adulthood is a difficult time for youth as they face choices that could involve risky or dangerous behaviours. Capital one is partner-ing with the Boys and girls Club of Kamloops to launch Keystone, an inno-vative program focused on the positive development of youth.

Focused on leadership, empowerment and community action, Keystone pro-vides youth with an opportunity to develop valuable life skills, participate in new and exciting activities and make a positive difference. The Kamloops Keystone group began in September and since then the participating youth have committed to launching the Kamloops youth Charter of Rights, supporting local community agencies,

and to creating youth-centered educa-tional tools for Boys and girls Club of Kamloops’ programs.

The Keystone program is built around the specific needs of young people, pro-viding a range of programming options including nutritional education, physi-cal activity, team building, personal growth and social action.

“I want to thank Capital one for sup-porting our Keystone program,” said Renee gurnsey, director of youth and family support programs at the Boys and girls Club. “our program will allow our youth members the opportu-nity to develop leadership and employ-ment skills while developing meaning-ful relationships with club staff, their peers, and feeling a greater sense of connectedness to the community.”

In the spirit of Halloween, Natasha and Nicolas Wright dressed up their dog Holly to enjoy the annual Pumpkins of Light celebration hosted by Gardengate.

SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) Thompson Rivers is a non-profit volunteer organization of business students at TRU that strives to improve the standard of living in Kamloops through community outreach projects. On Hallowe’en they launched their Trick or Eat campaign to collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Kamloops Food Bank. Pictured here are some of the 35 members of SIFE who went door-to-door and collected 1757 items.

Special to the Echo from Angela Veltri, Gardengate activity worker.

upon opening the greenhouse at the gardengate Training Centre in Brocklehurst on the morning of November 2, the last thing staff expected to see was the senseless vandalism to the property, tools and produce.

open Door group’s gardengate Program is a non-profit organic garden project that supports people with mental health conditions with skill development and vocational training. Participants and volunteers donate their time and efforts to operate this three-acre garden, which donates tens of thousands of pounds of produce to local food charities in the Kamloops community every year.

The vandal(s) had spray painted the greenhouse walls, benches, wheelbarrows, chairs, tools and even the produce. They littered seeds, straw, string and other supplies, and before they left turned on a water valve and flooded the greenhouse.

Maybe the vandal(s) didn’t realize that the participants and volunteers who work at gardengate start seeding these vegetables in January and spend countless hours watering, transplanting, weeding,

harvesting and processing these vegetables. The involvement of participants and volunteers in this program is about more that just gardening. or the fact that the 1500 lbs of tomatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins that they destroyed were going to be donated to the Kamloops Food Bank and other local charities that assist people who need and are grateful for these donations. The men, women and children who access these food share programs are member of the

Kamloops community and could be your family, friends, neighbours, co-workers, or schoolmates.

The purpose of this article is to bring awareness to the pointless destruction that this vandalism has cost, not only financially, and not only to the staff, participants and volunteers of the program, but to the entire community. We hope that whomever committed this act of vandalism thinks twice next time about the consequences of such an act.

Tri-Rom Industries Ltd. locat-ed here on the North Shore offers various heating and air conditioning services. These services and products include Carrier furnaces, air condition-ers, heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, repairs to all makes of equipment, sheet metal work as well as supply and instal-lation of commercial cooking equipment.

These products and services are just the tip of the iceberg for Tri-Rom Industries, whose staff are known locally as the people to call when you have no idea what to do.

“Some recent clients have learned first hand how impor-tant it is to get a second opin-ion,” tells Dennis Rombough of Tri-Rom Industries. “They were told by another service contractor that their furnace was no good, couldn’t get parts and needed a costly replacement. When we checked out the fur-nace problems we found that with a service and minor adjust-ments, the heating equipment was oK and ready for another winter. our repair saved them quite a bit of money and saved their furnace.”

It’s been a rather warm fall but now that the cold weather is kicking in, it is important to make sure that the heating and air delivery systems in your home and business are work-ing properly and efficiently. Just like a car without a tune up, an inefficient system will cost you more in the long run with unnec-essary repairs and increased power consumption. Filters,

coils, blower, ignition assembly and burners have a large impact on the performance and effi-ciency of this your equipment. Tri Rom offers comprehensive maintenance packages and is always there for a second opin-ion. They’re the perfect com-pany to keep your equipment running in top notch form.

“We do everything from main-tenance and repairs to installing new Carrier furnaces, air condi-tioners and heat pumps,” con-tinues Dennis. “We have been installing a lot of heat pumps lately. A heat pump is like an air conditioner only larger and is able to send the hot refrig-erant into the house for heat-ing. More people are turning to the use of heat pumps because they are extremely efficient and save you money on your utility bills.”

Tri-Rom’s has three service technicians on the road, Randy, Shane and Dennis. Shannon is in the office and Chad is in the shop. Don’t let winter get the best of you this year, call 250-554-8733 and let Dennis and his team make sure you are warm and toasty this winter.

It’s a medical reality that diabe-tes has reached epidemic propor-tions throughout the world, and over the next ten years in British Columbia its expected there will be a further 62% increase in the incidence of diabetes. Another sobering statistic is that B.C. has seen the second highest in-crease in diabetes compared to other Canadian provinces. It’s also important to realize that there are many who are walking around our communities undiag-nosed and unaware of the severe medical consequences.

On Saturday, November 13, the Kamloops and District Branch of the Canadian Dia-betes Association will be host-ing its third annual Diabetes Expo from noon to 4:00pm at the Alliance Church at 233 Fortune Drive. Registration is at 12noon, at which time the Trade Show opens, with dis-plays from a wide variety of medical and community health organizations. A popular feature from last year’s Expo will be back with TRU nursing students

checking blood pressure and blood glucose levels.

The keynote speaker is Dr. Maureen Clem-ent of the Vernon Diabetes Clinic, speaking on the topic “How you and your health care provider can work together to get the most from your diabetes-focused

visit.” In her medical career and through her association with the

Canadian Diabetes Association, Dr. Clement has taken a key role in advo-cating for the well-being of people with diabetes.

A panel presen-tation will follow

with those “in the know” about diabetes discussing their specific

areas of knowledge and answer-ing questions. Panel members include nurse/diabetes educator Jeannine Jubinville, dietician Karen Kieper, and pharmacist Laura Burgess.

Terry Lake, MLA for the Ka-mloops North Thompson Rid-ing, and the newly appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Health Promotion, has indicated his interest in attending to learn first-hand the health concerns of residents.

It’s hoped this event will at-tract those in the community who are affected by diabetes and offer ways to better manage this life-threatening disease. If you are newly diagnosed, you are strongly urged by the Expo organizers to attend to discover you are not alone and there is help and support available.

The Expo is free but you are asked to pre-register by calling 250-374-5744 or emailing inte-riorbc@diabetes.ca. For more information please contact Margaret Sutherland at 250-554-0735.

BLanKets foR BaBies

Last month the local Soroptimists group asked members of the community for help in completing their “baby bundles” for moms of newborns, a need that has been identified by the Kamloops Food Bank. They had a goal of ten baby blankets for ten bundles and Kamloops citizens answered that call....loud and clear! The Soroptimists received many calls from knitters who required a bit more time to get their blanket finished. Keep on knitting, as ten more blankets will be needed by next March. They can be dropped off any time at Second Glance Books at 448 Victoria St., or call Carole at 250-372-1974 for pick up. For more information call Shirley Sanderson 250-828-2185.Pictured (L-R) are Soroptimists Faye Fike, Carole Keyworth, and Allannah Yoshy displaying some of the beautiful hand-knitted blan-kets that were donated.

one in six men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 4,400 men will die from prostate cancer in Canada this year. November, also known as “Movember”, is a month dedicated to raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer by growing moustaches and supporting the cause.

Thompson Rivers university student Nicole Jelinski, and four male students (Royce Sihlis, Abdallah el Chemi, Hugo yuen, and Dan Houghton) have created the group “The Moustache Movement” at TRu to spread the word about prostate cancer. This movement is not just for TRu though, as they want to make it a citywide campaign. They have signed up as a team

captain on Movember Canada so anyone can join their team and make donations to the cause online at ca.movember.com. you can also check them out on their Facebook group “The Moustache Movement”.

Though group co-founder Nicole cannot grow a moustache to show her support, she shares that she has had both her grandpas go through surgeries and chemotherapy with prostate cancer, and so is closely related to the cause. Thanks to prostate cancer research, both her grandfathers are living survivors and are wearing Moustache Movement shirts to show their support and gratitude!
