If you’re looking for something interesting to do to honour our vet-erans on Remembrance Day this year, you may want first check out the city’s Remembrance Day cer-emonies and then take a drive up to Mount Lolo and retrace some of Kamloops’ Cold War history.

Mount Lolo (1748m) is a sum-mit 20 km northeast of Kamloops, between Paul and Heffley Lakes. It was named for Jean Baptiste Lolo (also known as Chief Lolo) - an Iroquois-French Canadian Métis who served in the employ of the Hudson’s Bay Company as an interpreter and right-hand man to Chief Trader John Tod at Fort Fraser and Fort Kamloops.

As a result of the Cold War the US decided to expand the North American continental air defence system. Kamloops was selected as a site for a United States Air Force radar station, one of the many that would make up the Pinetree Line of Ground-Control Intercept radar sites. The line was the first coordi-nated system for early detection of a Soviet bomber attack on North America. It included a series of 33 main stations and six smaller “gap fillers”. The majority of these ran in a line at about the 53rd par-allel in the west (to offer cover-age of major Canadian cities) and about the 50th parallel in the east. A second line ran up the eastern

seaboard from the southern tip of Nova Scotia to the southern tip of Baffin Island.

The Pinetree Line had sever-al technical problems that limited its usefulness almost immediately. For one, the system used classic pulsed mode radar, which made it

unable to detect targets close to the ground due to “clutter”. Another was that its location near popula-tion centers meant it offered only a “last minute” warning, and as the USSR moved to jet-powered bombers the warning time was even less. Studies were already

underway in 1951 to build a much smaller series of more capable Doppler radar stations somewhat further north, which would devel-op into the Mid-Canada Line, and just over a year after MCL, a more advanced system in the extreme

north was built which would be known as the DeW Line. As a result, the Pinetree Line was in full operation only for a short time

The base at Mount Lolo (also known as CFS Kamloops) was constructed in 1957. The radar installation (operations site) was locat-ed on top of Mt Lolo, while the base camp (domestic site) was located about 10 km down the access road.

It became operational the following year when radar and communications gear were installed, but it was only used on a limited basis. The resident unit, 825th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, United States Air Force, arrived and the station was declared limited operational on December 3, 1958 with early warning status reports being forward-

ed to five Air Division in Vancouver. They were declared fully operational on March 2, 1959 and reported to the 25th Air Division at McChord AFB in Tacoma, Washington.

In 1967 it became the Canadian Forces Station Kamloops and then in 1984, Kamloops was brought on-line with Canada West RoCC. The 56 Radar Squadron carried on at Kamloops until new government direction brought about the creation of the North Warning System. CFS Kamloops was officially closed in April 1988. The Station briefly came back to life when the movie “Cadence”, starring Charlie Sheen and Lawrence Fishburne, was filmed at the site in 1990 but now the site is now vir-tually abandoned, except for two areas now used by Telus, which has a communication installation. The buildings stood until around

1997 but have since been removed. The city of Kamloops moved the last search antenna to be used at CFS Kamloops, an AN/FPS-20, to Riverside Park as a memorial to the former radar station.

How to get there – Drive up Paul Lake Road until you see a fork in the road. Signs point to the right for Harper Mountain and Paul Lake but you want to go left towards Cold Creek Road. From there you turn right onto Mount Lolo road and follow it to the top. The pave-ment turns to gravel with plenty of potholes. I recommend taking a 4-wheel drive with good clearance. It takes a little over an hour to get there from Kamloops.

In light of the recent temporary suspension of Novartis vaccine products (Agriflu and Fluad), Interior Health wishes to advise the public that public flu clinics will continue as scheduled using primary vaccine product Vaxigrip.

Novartis products comprise less than 10 per cent of the vaccine supply in Interior Health. Interior

Health has been using another vaccine product for the major-ity of this year’s influenza vac-cination campaign which is not affected by the suspension. This product will also continue to be available through community vac-cine providers such as doctors and pharmacists.

on october 26, Health Canada

issued a voluntary suspension of the use of Novartis influenza vac-cines due to the presence of small particles found in the vaccines in europe. The suspension is a precautionary measure. B.C. has temporarily suspended the use of these vaccine products.

The public can be assured that all lots of the Novartis vaccines

received in B.C. had passed Health Canada’s inspection systems with no concerns and that there have been no reports in Canada or inter-nationally of any increased side effects or health problems from the Novartis vaccines.

For information on the influenza vaccine and to find a flu clinic near you visit: interiorhealth.ca.

Artistic healing journeyFrom November

20 to December 19, Cindy Hayden’s recent glass works in architectural salvage will be displayed at Wilson House in a combination art show and fundraiser titled, Rebuilding.

opening night is November 23, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm and will kick-off a fundraiser/silent auc-tion to benefit Janet Whitehead’s Healing Journey.

Janet’s work as a self-employed Creative Coach has inspired many people, enabling them to proceed with confidence

on their own creative journeys. Janet was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in 2012. While under-going aggressive treatment, Janet has been unable to work.

Janet’s love of Tall Ships has inspired Cindy to create a “Tall Ship” stained glass piece to be auctioned off, with partial pro-ceeds going towards assisting Janet’s daily living expenses.

For more infor-mation on Janet’s Journey, please check out the Facebook page: Supporting

Janet Whitehead’s Healing Journey.

Theatre BC’s Provincial Playwriting CompetitionAfter suspending its

national playwriting com-petition in 2010, Theatre BC is delighted to announce its rebirth in the form of an annual British Columbia playwriting competition. “The national playwriting competition was one of our most popular programs and one that we fully supported as an organization,” says Randy Poulis, vice-presi-dent of operations. “Now

it’s back but we’ve chosen to focus on the playwrights of British Columbia.”

In addition to plays by British Columbian authors, the competition encourages submissions by aboriginal and youth authors from across the province.

The Provincial Playwriting Competition is open to original scripts of drama or comedy, either full-length or one-

act. Deadline for entry is December 31. Independent jurors will decide upon winners in each category with a prize of $1,000 awarded for the chosen full-length, $750 for the one-act, and $500 for a script of special merit.

Competition details and entry forms are avail-able online at theatrebc.org/content/playwriting -competition.

Kamloops DISH Society, (Dames Investing in Social Harmony) hosted an open Community Forum at Henry Grube Education Centre last week. The subject being examined was bullying and harassment. Matt MacLean, director of Housing at ASK Wellness, started the conversation by examining how we define bullying and what resources currently exist in our area. Traci Anderson, executive director of the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club, facilitated breakout for focus groups where over 20 participants brainstormed topics within the larger issue.

Cathy McLeod responds to FIPA reactionsDear Editor,I have recently received a num-

ber of email communications from my constituents regarding Canada’s Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China, and I know this agreement is the subject of much discussion at present. I would like to take this opportunity to provide the perspec-tive of the federal government on this agreement.

A FIPA is a bilateral agreement aimed at protecting and promoting foreign investment through legally-binding rights and obligations. FIPAs are part of the growing body of international law governing foreign investment, where Canadian inves-tors can look to a comprehensive and specific set of obligations with recourse to international arbitration for their enforcement. The added security and predictability provided by a FIPA supports and enhances Canadian investment activities in foreign markets.

A core piece of the FIPA is the investor-state dispute settlement, which allows a Canadian investor in China or a Chinese investor in

Canada to take the national govern-ment to arbitration if the investor feels that the government is unfairly discriminating against them com-pared to their treatment of other companies.

A lot of the hype and misinforma-tion over the FIPA revolves around what constitutes “discriminatory” treatment. To be clear, discrimina-tory treatment would be cases where the foreign investor is being denied benefits or protections that domestic or other foreign investors enjoy.

That is what the investor-state dispute settlement process is about - ensuring that foreign companies have the same rights as domestic firms. It is not about foreign firms

having more rights than Canadian firms, or riding roughshod over our laws and regulations.

overall, the government believes that expanding Canada’s relationship with China is desirable, but we want to see it expand in a way that produc-es clear benefits for both sides. By ensuring greater protection against discriminatory and arbitrary prac-tices, and enhancing predictability of a market’s policy framework, this FIPA will allow Canadians to invest in China with greater confidence.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond.

Sincerely,Cathy McLeod, M.P.Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Service. Sacrifice. remembrance. Honor.These simple words carry the weight of over

117,000 Canadians who have lost their lives serving Canada on foreign soil since the First World War and the over 700,000 veterans living today. Together, their service and their sacrifice defines our country and the peaceful, democratic way of life we so cher-ish in Canada.

Chartwell believes that all Canadians owe a debt of appreciation and commemoration to the men and women who have courageously served in Canada’s Armed Forces. Their accomplishments, both in war-time and in peacekeeping missions around the world, are part of the historic legacy of Canada’s extraordi-nary contributions to protecting peace and stability.

As a show of respect, Chartwell Retirement Residences across Canada are inviting Canadian vet-erans into Chartwell retirement homes for a compli-mentary lunch as a way of saying “thank you” for their service to our country.

With retirement and long term care residences across Canada, Chartwell prides itself on providing excep-tional care and services to seniors, including many veterans who served in WWII. “It’s a small gesture that shows our gratitude and appreciation for the large sacrifices our veterans made to keep our country free,” said Brent Binions, president and Ceo of Chartwell Seniors Housing. “Chartwell is committed to ensur-ing that their legacy lives on in future generations and, while we have the opportunity, that we never stop saying thank you to them for their courage and contributions.”

In 2010, Chartwell published a book entitled Honour, which fea-tured the photos and profiles of indi-viduals who were veterans or supported the war effort and who lived in a Chartwell residence. Thirty-five breathtaking photos by renowned photographer Yuri Dojc accompanied intimate stories of their personal experiences. Last year, Chartwell released the docu-mentary Honour: Their Stories, Our History, which included the humble and moving interviews that were conducted as part of the making of the book. Copies of the book and DVD have been donated to schools across Canada in an effort to ensure this important his-tory is passed on to future generations.

“At Kamloops Renaissance Retirement Residence, many employees comment on the fact that learning about the past life of our residents is one of the most interesting and fulfilling aspects of working with seniors,” says Cera Brown, sales manager at Kamloops Renaissance. “By offering veterans in the community a complimentary lunch, we are offering both our appreciation and our interest in learning their stories as well.”

To learn more or to make a reservation for lunch, please contact Cera Brown, sales manager at Kamloops Renaissance 250-376-5363.

Chartwell Select Renaissance Retirement Residence, located at 628 Tranquille Road, will host a Complimentary Community Veteran’s Lunch on November 11 at 12:30pm. Chartwell’s book Honour, features stories of 35 quiet heroes who lived at a Chartwell Residence. All proceeds benefit the War Amps Legacy Fund.

Ten year passport term advocated by Kamloops ChamberThe Kamloops Chamber of

Commerce was pleased to hear Friday’s news regarding the new ten-year term for Canadian passports.

In 2007, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce presented a paper to the federal government asking for changes in the passport sys-tem. Most of those changes were implemented with the exception of the requested ten-year term.

“This issue has also been raised by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Kamloops Chamber and we were

advised last year that this change would come into effect in the near future”, states Peter Aylen, Kamloops Chamber’s Policy Committee Chair.

A recent media release from the Canadian government noted that, “The first 5-year ePassports will be issued in select locations during the first quarter of 2013. Production will ramp up through the spring resulting in the full availability of both a 5- and 10- year ePassport in early summer.”

“The chamber is proud to speak on behalf of our mem-

bers here in Kamloops,” states Maurice Hindle, President of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. “This is a prime example of the chamber network making a difference in our world. The Kamloops Chamber is one of the most active in the country with regards to advocacy and is proud of our work both provin-cially and federally.”

Interior Health and BC Ambulance Service unveiled Royal Inland Hospital’s new heliport on october 30.

“The opening of the new heliport at Royal Inland Hospital is good news for rural and remote com-munities surrounding Kamloops,” said Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake. “The new heli-port will support physicians and patients living in these smaller communities by providing them with better and faster access to critical care.”

The project was complet-ed at the end of September. Certification was received from Transport Canada on october 4th and air ambulance landings recommenced on october 10th.

The heliport meets current Transport Canada requirements for landing helicopters up to 17.5 m in length and 7,711 kg (17,000 lbs) takeoff weight. The upgraded heliport is in the same

location as the previously used site, however it extends further east with a concrete platform supported on concrete pillars, jutting out over the hillside. The style and size of helicopters used for patient transport has changed over the years since the original helipad was built.

The Thompson Regional Hospital District funded 40 per cent of the $750,000 cost to upgrade the heliport.

“The development and certifi-cation of this new heliport sup-ports communities throughout Interior Health, particularly out-lying rural communities which rely on the support of the Air Ambulance for vital medical transport in their time of need,” says Regional Hospital District Chair Peter Milobar.

Since September 2011, BCAS has operated approximately 300 air ambulance flights to and from Kamloops.

Results of 2012 Citizen Satisfaction Survey

Library bids adieu to Twilight

The results are in from the 2012 Citizen Survey Report, conducted by Ipsos Reid earlier this year.

The City of Kamloops con-ducts a comprehensive Citizen Survey every three years, with the previous one complet-ed in 2009. Using telephone interviews with 400 randomly selected residents representing the community’s demographics, the survey addresses a wide range of topical issues facing the community and provides a detailed assessment of citizens’ attitudes, needs, priorities, and satisfaction levels. This research ultimately helps guide the City in making decisions regarding planning, budgeting and issues management.

Some key highlights from the report include improved quality of life in Kamloops over the past three years, rating higher than the BC norm. economic growth, development, better shopping,

improved infrastructure and more services were the top five reasons for this improvement.

The two biggest top-of-mind issues for residents were mines/Ajax and transportation issues such as downtown parking and road conditions. Residents con-tinue to prefer tax increases over cutting services as seen in previous surveys, however, the third top-of-mind concern was taxation/municipal spend-ing. Survey results indicate a preference to increase user fees over taxes.

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said, “The report not only indicates where we are excelling at building a great community, but also where we have an opportunity to look at funding models and our infra-structure needs.”

Copies of the report are avail-able to the public at City Hall at 7 West Victoria Street, or online at www.kamloops.ca.

Whether you’re an edward or Jacob fan, the North Kamloops Library wants to invite all Twilight fans to a special Breaking Dawn Part 2 party on November 14 at 6:00pm.

The get-together is a celebration for all Twi-Hard, Twilighters, Twilovers and Fan-pires to mark the opening of the film Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 two days before the movie hits theatres in Kamloops. Breaking Dawn Part 2 is the final instalment in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, which has spanned four years and featured five separate films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

The event is open to teens ages 13-18 and will feature music, games, tasty treats and more.

Fighting hunger through pop cultureHere’s a CD Wal-Mart isn’t likely to carry.

Now you can catch up with your favourite lo-cal bands on a disc that features 12 cool and inspiring songs. Feed the Soul is a CD compi-lation featuring some of Kamloops’ finest mu-sicians who have contributed exclusive tracks for an incredible collection of music. The disk was released for public sale last week and is just one of the ways that our community is bringing about change and getting in front of the food crisis by advocating for people who are hungry and living on in-comes too low to support themselves.

Many people do not re-alize the extent of hun-ger’s reach in Canada. Thousands of families have to struggle between providing nutritious meals or paying the heating bill. The community team at the Kamloops Food Bank and outreach Society on Lorne Street understands this all too well and their work continues daily to ensure that fami-lies and individuals have the basic necessity of life: nutrition. With the support of many dedi-cated volunteers, donations, temporary grants and the generosity of local business and service groups, they continue to provide healthy food to any resident of Kamloops who is in need.

For the past seven years, Music Makes Meals, an annual grassroots benefit concert, has raised awareness and funds for the Food Bank. orga-nizers of the Music Makes Meals concert have toyed with the idea of producing a CD featur-ing local bands to compliment these concert fund-raising efforts. This year a few friends, artists and industry professionals came togeth-er to rally around the Food Bank and make this first time collection of Kamloops homegrown music a reality.

This compilation hosts a wide variety of mu-sical talent, all hailing from our community. The tracks you’ll find on the album are origi-nal songs from bands who have established a pretty steady following in the area. each of the 12 contributing acts who perform on the al-bum have donated their time and the rights to

use their tracks. To pull the songs all togeth-er, Henry Small and Kris Ruston stepped up to produce this incredible collection. You can purchase the CD at the Food Bank and partici-pating coffee shops and retailers. 100 per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of the CD will directly benefit the Kamloops Food Bank.

If you ask Melodie Grabner, Resource De-veloper for the Kamloops Food Bank, she’ll tell you that this type of contribution is just as valuable as a cash donation. “These artists have

sought to be part of our cause. People want to give back to their community and contribute in a meaningful way where they can see the im-pact.”

Further integrating the arts with community outreach, musical expression will come to life at the Music Makes Meals concert on Satur-day, November 10 from 7:00pm to 11:00pm where the official launch of the CD will be cel-ebrated as well. The show is a 19+ event that will feature three local acts, the Henry Small Band, Matt Stanley and the Decoys and Solara. Thanks to the generosity of Zimmer Whea-ton, Music Makes Meals was able to top it all off by calling upon a Vancouver heavy hitters, No Sinner, to headline the evening. Tickets are available at the door. There will be an appie/tapas buffet as well as a cash bar.

Long-time volunteer and supporter, Dale Bass, has been the driving force behind this concert event for the past seven years. She is thrilled to see this CD project finally come to-gether to exclusively benefit the Food Bank. “This may be the first CD that features only Kamloops artists,” Dale speculates. She was impressed by the quality of the album and is really looking forward to this year’s Music Makes Meals concert which will take place at Kamloops Convention Centre. “It just gets bet-ter every year. It also gives me a good excuse to get out on a Saturday night.”

If you like music, you will love this event! You can’t go wrong with a super night of live music. When you listen to the original tracks from your new Feed the Soul disk, you’ll be reminded of those who do not have the oppor-tunities we do and who need to turn to the Food Bank for basic living essentials.

Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce perform their song, Bad Boys, for Feed the Soul, a the 12 track compilation CD that was locally produced to raise money for the Kamloops Food Bank.

Horoscopes courtesy of astrologer Michael Thiessen. For daily horoscopes go to www.astrology-online.com

SCORPIO (oct 24-Nov 22) Be sure to catch up on overdue corre-spondence and help those you love find solutions to their dilemmas. Don’t draw too much attention to yourself at work. Difficulties may be encountered while traveling in foreign countries. You can evade the issue as usual by being affectionate, fun loving, and far too active for your lover to catch on.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Difficulties with children will surface if you try to break a promise you made. You can offer your mate a commitment or promise that will help stabilize your personal life. Don’t let peers distract you or push their work your way. Dis-putes on the home front may be hard to avoid.CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Travel opportunities should be your first choice. Don’t deny yourself this week. Investments concerning your residence will be profitable. You may be confused emotionally.AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Don’t lend or borrow. Socializing or travel will lead to partnerships. Don’t expect others to live up to their promises and you won’t be disappointed or find yourself stuck with delays. Social functions will bring you in touch with new lovers.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) You will be able to find the perfect outfit, and the greatest new accessory for your house. Someone you live with could be frustrated and upset. Your ability to work with detail could help you achieve your goals. Romantic relationships could be under pressure.ARIES (Mar 21-April 20) Avoid disputes with family; their com-plaints can’t change anything anyway. Take a short business trip if possible. Close deals that have been up in the air and move on to new ones that appear to be profitable. Try to think things through.TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Do whatever your mate wants; it really doesn’t matter as long as you’re together. Your personal situation is fluctuating. Focus your efforts on details, and keep to yourself in order to finish your work. Uncertainties are still prevailing.GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Business trips might prove unproduc-tive. Try not to take everything so seriously. You may be up for some changes in your home. You may want to try your hand at a little cre-ative writing. Don’t let your boss get the better of you.CANCER (June 22-July 22) It might be best not to spend your money on luxuries this week. Those close to your heart may be diffi-cult to reason with. You can pick up some overtime this week. Don’t force your opinions on friends or relatives unless you are prepared to lose their favor.LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Don’t let your emotions interfere with com-pleting your chores. You can make extra cash by moonlighting. Avoid getting trapped in internal disputes. opportunities for love will develop while traveling or while attending religious functions.VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 23) Do not give your heart to someone who may not live up to your standards. You are best to tuck your money away where no one will be able to touch it, including yourself. You will gain a lot if you listen. Problems with in-laws or relatives may be more damaging than you realize.LIBRA (Sept 24-oct 23) Don’t be too eager to spend what’s left over; more unexpected expenses are evident. Fitness or weight loss pro grams will help your self esteem. You need to clear up some im-portant personal documents before the end of the year. Pay attention to small but important details.
