A new Family Caregiver Tax Credit tax relief measure has been introduced and is meant to assist Canadians coping with the added responsibilities of caring for infirm

parents. This tax credit, combined with previous improvements to the Medical expense Tax Credit, now provides even more tax relief to Canadian families.

Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo said. “Many Canadians make incredible per-sonal sacrifices to care for a loved one – be it their child, parent, spouse, or other family member with a serious medical condition – often while holding down a job. That’s why we’re taking action to help lighten their load.”

Since January 2012, the Family Caregiver Tax Credit has been available to help assist Canadians coping with the added responsi-bilities of caring for infirm parents or relatives by providing a 15 per

cent non-refundable tax credit on any amount up to $2,000. This now includes, for the first time, spouses, common-law partners, and minor children.

Government also recently intro-duced measures to ensure that the Medical expenses Tax Credit better responds to the needs of Canadian caregivers, by removing the $10,000 limit on the amount of eligible expenses a caregiver can claim.

For more information on the new Family Caregiver Tax Credit, please visit cra.gc.ca/familycaregiver.

real effect on the value of an item. The value is determined more by whether there is a demand for it.

Do you have antique, vintage or collectible items in your attic? Think you might have a valuable piece? If you're convinced your piece is worth a buck, snap a photo or take the object with you to the show. Many people don't recog-nize the value of their own possessions. There will be dealers on site that may be able to iden-tify and verify authenticity. Insiders call this documenting a piece's provenance. While you may not be able to fund your retirement, there is a chance that you have pieces that may be of real value and are worth more than you think. Take the time to chat with over 30 vendors offering one-of-a-kind items.

As you're cleaning out old filing cabinets or going through a dusty attic or basement, you might want to consider renting a table at the

show before you throw it all away. The dead-line to get involved is Monday, March 4. Your family archives, historical documents, letters, diaries and maps are some of the more popu-lar antiques being collected today and could be worth something. First-edition signed books and coins are also of particularly high value.

In addition to finding and selling pieces at the show, you can learn about the current market and meet with other collectors. Saturday hours are 9:00am to 4:00pm while Sunday the show runs 9:00am to 3:00pm. Stop and take a break

to enjoy a bowl of delicious soup and a sand-wich for lunch. All of the proceeds go back to the NSCC towards their seniors programming. NSCC offers free parking and the building is wheelchair accessible.

The age-old passion for antiquing holds a limitless universe of knowledge waiting to be revealed. That little knickknack has passed through history from generation to generation and is patiently waiting for it's next owner - you.

shine light on the many ongo-ing programs the district has to sup-port students.”Other ways to support Pink Shirt

Day include following the campaign on Facebook or Twitter, uploading a pic-ture of yourself, your school, your work, your friends on Twitter wearing pink and tag it with #PSD2013 and mention @pinkshirtday.

kamloops: this is our homeDear Editor:As I learned when

I moved here, Kamloopsians are good at welcoming newcom-ers. however, I think we should draw the line at welcoming the Ajax mine.

I liked my home in Toronto, didn’t want to move to Kamloops. I only did it for love of my husband. We relocated in 2006 and Kamloops won me over.

Kamloops boasts great sports facilities and an energizing beauty char-acterized by sagebrush, pine trees, and long views of bare and semi-bare mountainsides. For these reasons and others, Kamloops has become a tourist destination. It’s a transportation hub and an attractive place to run a business, raise a family, and/or retire.

Unfortunately this situ-ation could change if the proposed KGhM Ajax mine is developed at the south end of our city. half of this giant open-pit copper-gold mine would

be within city limits and less than 1.5 km from the nearest houses and school. Kamloops with its 85,000 residents would be down-wind of the mine, which means the wind would carry dust from it through-out the city. Airborne dust contributes to health

problems such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, sinusitis, COPD, and heart disease.

Despite state-of-the-art technologies, most mines find dust control chal-lenging, especially in a semi-desert environment like ours. Breathable dust

wouldn’t be the only prob-lem with locating an open-pit mine so close to such a large population. We’d also experience more noise, cancer-causing die-sel fumes, and toxic heavy metals escaping into our air, water, and soil.

Christadelphianism is a word cre-ated from the Greek for "Brethren in Christ. Christadelphians try to live to the highest moral standards as a way of life and on matters of belief and practice they recognize literal Biblical teaching as author-ity and avoid doctrines unsubstan-tiated from Biblical texts as well as activities regarded as 'of the world'.

This is a religious denomination linked by a common understand-ing of the Bible and Christianity. Christadelphians believe that they should have nothing to do with violence, because the Bible tells them to love their enemies. They won't join the armed forces, police or prison services or work in the security or armaments industry. If Christadelphians are drafted for military service they will refuse to fight, no matter how serious the situation for their country. Additionally, they do not vote or take part in politics. They main-tain a strong position as conscien-tious objectors.

Organisationally, they operate, worship and study as local eccle-sias, a Greek work for "gather-ing of those summoned". each congregation typically follows practices that have altered little since the 19th century with their beliefs based wholly on the Bible, both Old and New Testament. Congregational worship usually takes place on Sunday and addi-

tional meetings are often organised for worship, prayer, preaching and Bible study. Only believers bap-tised by complete immersion in water are considered members of the ecclesia and able to share in the 'Breaking of Bread' service.

The Christadelphians do not have a central leadership or hierarchy. They are a lay community and, while they do not have a per-manently appointed preacher, in church affairs teaching and most organising roles are delegated to male members on a rotation basis. The role of women members is generally a supportive one. Many play very strong supportive roles behind the scenes and participate in discussions, teach children, other women and non-members, perform music, vote on business matters and engage in the co-oper-ation between ecclesias for charity and humanitarian work. Generally, at formal meetings the women wear head coverings when there are acts of worship.

Christadelphians understand the Bible to teach that male and female believers are equal however there is a distinction between the roles of male and female members. Based upon the Bible, they believe there is a divine order to things. Marriage and family life are important and they only marry within the faith and that sexual relationships are limited to heterosexual marriage, ideally

between baptised believers. The children of members are encour-aged to attend Christadelphian Sunday Schools and youth groups.

Christadelphians don't wor-ship with other Christian groups because they don't believe it appro-priate to do so with people who don't share a common doctrine. "We understand that we hold a conservative view on a number of issues. We may even be referred to as fundamentalist," remarks Jon Fletcher, a member of the Kamloops Christadelphians.

Christadelphians are not total-ly exclusive but they do regard themselves as set apart to serve God. For 15 years a group of over 20 local Christadelphians have come together weekly on Sundays at 11:00am for fellow-ship and worship at the commu-nity centre at MacDonald Park. Sunday school for both adults and children begins earlier at 9:15am. At 7:00pm on Sunday evening, the Christadelphian group's eve-ning program is an opportunity for anyone to attend and find out more about their views and prac-tices. Anyone is also welcome to join their mid-week bible study where members meet in individ-ual homes. For more information email Jon Fletcher, [email protected] or Pam Fletcher, [email protected].

CHAMBER ON THE MOVE!In rolling out a new business model,

the Chamber office has a new brand and moved their office location from the Visitor Centre to their new space lo-cated at 615 Victoria Street. This new location allows the Chamber to better service all of its members while estab-lishing deeper connections with their strategic partners.

The Chamber of Commerce is a membership based organization that represents our business community and is a collective voice for its individual lo-cal members. The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce offers a variety of pro-grams directed towards business devel-opment as well as personal growth as a business leader. They provide network-ing opportunities, organise educational presentations and are a government li-aison that articulates business owners’ questions or concerns. Members also find value in the money-saving ideas and diverse discounts the Chamber af-fords with many taking advantage of a collective insurance plan and reduced Visa and Mastercard merchant pro-cessing fees. Take full advantage of all of the programs the Kamloops Cham-ber of Commerce offers. The Chamber works to foster a stronger, more con-nected city that encourages growth and a better lifestyle for all citizens.Wednesday, March 6Chamber SocialJoin Valley First in their brand new facility!

Last weekend the Kamloops Special Olympics Floor Hockey team went to an invitational event in Port Coquitlam on Sunday, February 17. The event did not follow a traditional round-robin format, it was simply a 3 game format for teams from different regions to compete. The spirit of participation was the ‘prize’. Pictured are team members Kelly Archibald, Brian Bourns, Johnny Briglio, Trevor Campese, Cody Cherriman, Joe Clouse, John Craig, Tryine Flukinger, Taralyn Kalelest, Sara Kirkland, Braden Moritz, Kent Plettl, Brandon White, Terry Williams; coaches, Tony Campese, Loyd Anderson, Kailey Joliffe and Parry Dickie; and volunteer Ray Cherriman.

The ongoing, generous community support for the Alzheimer Society of Kamloops’ raised over $70,000 for the more than 70,000 individu-als and families in BC who are living with dementia at the 10th annual Investors Group Walk for Memories event on January 27.

Funds raised will help ensure people impacted by the disease have access to support, and are vital to finding a cure. each of the Walks was dedicated to an honouree – a person who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.

The Society offers support to families by providing educational workshops to help families manage throughout the dementia journey, support groups, one-on-one support, information brochures and tele-workshops. Visit their website, alzheimerbc.org, to learn more.

You can still make a donation online at walkformemories.com. Save the date for next year’s Walk, Sunday, January 26, 2014, when they will do it all again!

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his

paintings currently on display.

"I've got good news and bad news," the owner replied.

"Give me the good news first," the artist demanded.

"The good news is that a gentle-

man inquired about your work and wondered if it would appre-ciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.”

"That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed, "What could possibly be the bad news?"

With concern, the gallery owner replied, "The guy was your doctor."

Artistic good news, and bad news
