The Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian

Bands have offi cially fi led their title claim for

the Jacko Lake area to the BC Supreme Court.

The two First Nations declared title on June

21 and this is the next step, according to out-

going Tk’emlups Chief Shane Gottfriedson.

The declaration was signed Sunday on the

shores of Jacko Lake, known in the Sec-

wepemc language as Pipsell Lake.

It asserts sovereignty and full control over

the area.

The move is in response to the plans for that

area made by KGHM-Ajax, who want to build

an open pit gold and copper mine around the

site.

Jacko Lake is the largest body of water lo-

cated next to the KGHM Ajax Mine project.

If approved, Ajax would use some of that

body of water for its purposes.

And there would be damage done to the

natural fi sh populations, according to Ajax’s

project description.

Almost 100 people were in attendance to

watch the signing of the Jacko Lake declara-

tion of title.

“We’ve been very steadfast that there’s a

process we want followed and we’re not

happy with the process that’s been laid out,”

said Gottfriedson. “We’ve never ceded, sur-

rendered, or given up any of our interests to

our land.”

Gottfriedson said he’s concerned about the

health of First Nations people and the future

of the watershed.

KGHM-Ajax said in a statement, it will take

time to fully understand the nature of the legal

documents and the company plans to contin-

ue consulting area bands as it works through

the environmental assessment process.

Tk’emlups, Skeetchestn fi le Jacko Lake title claim

Three reasons why reading is important for children Despite the proliferation of high tech mobile

devices, tablets and laptops, the benefi ts of sim-

ply reading a book endure.

Fostering a love of reading among children

has long-term pay-offs. It teaches them new

values and lessons, exercises concentration

skills, and even helps them learn new vocabu-

lary or different ways to phrase a thought.

The National Reading Campaign, organized

by readers, writers, publishers, educators and

others focused on creating a society of lifelong

readers, reports some of the top reasons why

reading is so important:

• Readers have better physical health, mental

health and empathy.

• Reading for just six minutes can reduce stress

by as much as 60 per cent, slow your heart beat,

ease muscle tension and alter your state of mind.

• Reading has better stress-reduction outcomes

than playing video games, drinking tea, listen-

ing to music or even going for a walk.

Reading is important on many levels. So

teachers across the country work with inno-

vative approaches to ensure every student is

equipped with, not just reading skills, but a love

of reading that will last a lifetime.

“As students get older, it can become more

challenging to keep them engaged in reading,”

said North Vancouver elementary teacher Mrs.

Harris. “Providing realistic content helps. For

high school students with learning disabilities,

integrating familiar technology assists with

repetition exercises to boost reading.”

Not all teachers who want to implement this

love of reading for their students have access to

the resources and technology necessary to do

so. To create a meaningful learning experience

for their students, teachers can post their proj-

ects with MyClassNeeds, a charitable crowd-

funding organization that supports publicly

funded schools across Canada.

More information about the MyClassNeeds

program and how Canadians can contribute

to a widespread love of reading is available at

www.myclassneeds.ca. –NC

Hello pencils. Hello books.

Hello teachers’ smiling looks! It’s

back-to-school season. As some-

one whom has always loved go-

ing to school, learning, the smell

of new paper, holding a newly

sharpened pencil, and the crisp,

autumn air that joins it, a variety

of emotions fi ll me – for the sea-

son and for the days ahead that

my kids get to enjoy.

This school year brings exciting

(and terrifying) changes. Zach-

ary is in Grade 5, his last year

before attending middle school.

My “baby” girl has started Kin-

dergarten. The rainbow of emo-

tions comes rushing through me,

each day.

Both of my children are offi cially

school-aged – going to school for

full days, leaving the day open

for me, and not having to worry

about half-day preschool and day-

care options any longer. I have a

sense of relief as there’s no extra

scheduling of who goes where

and when, which friend is going

to help me out that day, and also

the fi nancial burden. I have ex-

citement for Aubrielle, whom has

been patiently waiting all sum-

mer to start school with her big

brother. There are many new ex-

periences to come, for her. I have

pride knowing that Zachary is in

the eldest class, and how he takes

pride in being a student monitor,

helping the smaller children.

But with those positive emo-

tions, come some from the other

end of the spectrum.

With both of my kidlets now in

school full-time, it’s obvious that

there are no more babies, no more

toddling bodies moving around

my living room, and no more

slobbery baby kisses. But, there

are also no more sleepless nights,

no more diapers, and no more

messy feedings. My little rug rats

are growing up, and there has

been a parental shift – in my eyes.

Parenting has reached a new

milestone where many things

become a bit easier, and there’s

more freedom. The kids get them-

selves up in the morning, and

dressed. They are independent

and can pack their lunches in their

backpacks, and make their break-

fast without leaving a mess in the

kitchen. And I get a little bit more

time in the morning to get myself

ready, and to relax, actually sit-

ting down to eat my breakfast.

With that also comes a linger-

ing sense of aging. The older the

kids get, the more apparent it be-

comes that I’m also getting older.

But with age comes wisdom … I

can only hope.

I get to experience life and the

excitement through their eyes as

they jump on me at the end of the

day, and fl ood me with stories

about their school adventures.

The bottom line is … Happiness.

HoroscopesSeptember 28 - October 4, 2015

The Lunar Eclipse this week occurs in your sign. This can have a dramatic effect in getting you to question where things stand in life right now & how they affect you. If you were born in March, this can be ongoing for 6 months. You can also be dealing with a turning point when it comes to involvement with others. Be patient.

There’s a lot building up that’ll be diffi cult to get a clear picture about. Wait for matters to emerge, as they eventually will. This isn’t a good time to trust in things, esp. where any reliance on somebody else may be involved. Be mindful of protecting your own situation. Hold back with agreements.

Who your real friends are can suddenly become obvious. You can reach a turning point when it comes to commitments & the things you want to enjoy about life. Something has to come to an end – decide whether it’s too much pleasure or too many com-mitments. There’s wise advice available – listen to it.

You should be left in little doubt as to what is expected of you – it may turn out to be more than you thought. You have the skills to handle the necessary details without too much trouble. Your ease in doing so may impress somebody with authority. Don’t comment too much if you feel annoyed by pretenders.

Getting things to run smoothly may prove diffi cult, esp. if you need to gather information to do so. If you should have been working on something beforehand you may now realise you’ve left it too late. All this may encourage you to change your view on what’s important to fulfi l in the future, esp. fi nancially.

Be extremely cautious in the way you respond to anxious situa-tions that arise with others. You can get unusually angry related to any rebellion on their part. Don’t add fuel to the fi re by comment-ing, utilising the naturally critical way you can analyse matters. Hold tight when it comes to anything unsettling with fi nances.

Much can surface when it comes to somebody else you’re deal-ing with, giving you a very stable picture in your own mind. If you’re born in Sept. this can be a continuing theme for 6 months. Remain mentally focussed because you can’t trust everything as it’s presented. Behind the scenes matters are going on.

Sorting out your priorities will be more diffi cult than you’d pre-fer, mainly because of what presents itself to be dealt with on a daily basis. Much of it won’t be of your choosing. You’re meant to fi nd quiet time to yourself, on a regular basis, to contemplate your position ‘til late-Oct., early-Nov. Be patient.

You can’t escape being more committed in some way or being prepared to take on greater responsibility. If you’re happy to em-brace this, much luck can come your way. It can be more about whom you know than what you know now – early-Nov. Utilise people who may help you out – they’ll be happy to do so.

On one level it’ll be diffi cult to see how things will or can be-come well-structured to accommodate future needs. Have faith in yourself while at the same time remaining patient, as it’s like-ly some waiting will be involved. You’re at a turning point with commitment that can challenge you to be true to yourself.

Interaction, including communication with others will be some-what strained this week – even more so, if fi nances are involved. Opt out of any temptation to argue, no matter how mentally frustrated you feel. Focus on what should be main priorities in combination with what is hoped to be accomplished.

Step right back from somebody who you suspect is being secre-tive or wants to be mysterious. That way they’ll lose their power in the situation. By early-Nov. something will emerge. You may also be clearer on how they pursue things or how serious they actually are. Actions will speak louder than words.

The Kamloops Blazers’ third-

period push came up short in

their fi nal WHL preseason game

as the Prince George Cougars

held on for a 6-5 win.

Collin Shirley opened the scor-

ing for the Blazers 9:58 into the

fi rst period. He fi nished off a

great passing play from Jesse Za-

harichuk and Garret Pilon.

The Cougars tied it up less than

three minutes later, but Zahari-

chuk restored the lead batting a

puck in midair past goaltender Ty

Edmonds with 47 seconds left in

the period.

The Blazers led 2-1 after the

fi rst period. Shots were 12-9 in

favour of the Cougars.

The Cougars pushed back in the

second period and scored a minute

into the frame to tie the game up.

Brogan O’Brien then supplied

the home-team with a power play

goal and added late goal in the

period to give the Cougars a 4-2

lead through two periods.

Jared Bethune scored for the

Cougars eight seconds into the

third period as the game looked all

but wrapped up by the Cougars.

The Blazers supplied some dra-

ma as they pushed back on goals

from Collin Shirley and Luke

Harrison to make it 5-4 with 8:40

left in the game.

After the Blazers hit a post, the

Cougars went on an odd man

rush and Justin Almeida scored

on his own rebound to make it

6-4 for the Cougars.

Harrison scored another goal for

the Blazers 20 seconds after Al-

meida’s goal to make it 6-5 with

3:54 to play.

The Blazers pulled their goal-

tender with 2:48 to go and had a

ton of pressure, but couldn’t get

the equalizer in a 6-5 loss.

The Blazers outshot the Cougars

15-10 in the third period and 33-

31 in the game.

Cole Kehler got the start for

the Blazers and stopped 18 of 21

shots, while Dylan Ferguson was

in goal for the second half and

turned aside nine of 12 shots.

The Blazers were 0-for-4 on the

power play, while the Cougars

were 1-for-5.

The Blazers fi nished the WHL

preseason with a 2-3-0-0 record.

They will now set their sights on

their fi rst regular season game on

Fri. Sept. 25, in Kelowna against

the Rockets.

Their home-opener takes place

Sat. Sept. 16, at the Sandman

Centre. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

The Kamloops Storm dropped

their home-opener 3-1 to the

Revelstoke Grizzlies in KIJHL

action last Friday night at the

Sports Centre.

The Grizzlies opened the scor-

ing just 1:01 into the game and

led the Storm 1-0 after the fi rst

period. The Grizzlies took a 2-0

lead 4:06 into the middle frame

with a power play goal while

Dario Piva was off on a slash-

ing penalty. The Grizzlies made

it 3-0 with 5:24 remaining in the

third period. Brett Watkinson got

the Storm on the scoreboard with

their only goal of the game with

a power play goal with 1:13 re-

maining on the clock. The Storm

pulled their goalie for the extra

attacker with 1:32 remaining but

it was too little too late as the

grizzlies defeated the home team

Storm 3-1.

It was a different story Saturday

night when it took double over-

time for the storm to pull out a

3-2 win over the visiting Kimber-

ley Dynamiters.

After 17:47 minutes of score-

less hockey, the Dynamiters

opened the scoring to give Kim-

berley a 1-0 lead after the fi rst

period. They made it 2-0 halfway

through the second frame, but

Jackson Ross answered back for

the Storm 2:12 later on the power

play to get within one of the visi-

tors. Dante Raposo tied the game

1:18 later to make it 2-2 after

two. After a scoreless third peri-

od, the game went into overtime.

The fi rst OT period solved noth-

ing but Raposo proved the game

hero with 3:30 remaining in the

second overtime period to give

the Storm the 3-2 win.

The Storm outshot the Dynamit-

ers 49-27. Jake Mullen stopped 25

of the 27 shots he faced in the win.

The Storm wrap up the month

with three games in three nights

beginning with a home game

against the Sicamous Eagles Fri.

Sept. 25, then travel to Sicamous

for the rematch Sept. 26. The

Storm will be in Chase to take on

the Heat at the Art Holding Me-

morial Arena for a 2 p.m. matinee

game Sun. Sept. 27.

Pumpkins, nuts and spice – it’s a taste of fall. Adding peanut but-

ter to muffi n batter packs extra protein and helps keeps the muffi ns

moist. This recipe can also make a delicious loaf; simply bake at

350°F (180°C) for an hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre

comes out clean.

Fall for these peanut and pumpkin

muffi ns with a kick of spice

Western Canada Theatre presents the second public reading of a new

play-in-development, The Language Reclamation Project: ECHOES

OF THE HOMESICK HEART, by local Secwepemc writer Laura

Michel-Evans.

The new play, a poignant and powerful piece, refl ecting a generation-

al response to the revitalization of the Secwepemc language, features

Mahekan Anderson, Chris Bose, Kim Harvey and Lori Marchand.

. Drawing on more than 60 interviews recorded over fi ve years, Mi-

chel-Evans combines verbatim text within a fi ctional context to il-

lustrate refl ections of past, present and future thoughts about the lan-

guage of the Secwepemc. The text has been inspired from interviews

with people of the Secwepemc Nation, spanning the generations from

youth to Elders and showing the inter-generational relationship to the

Secwepemc language.

While previous plays have focussed on the impact that Residential

school has had on First Nations language, Michel-Evans says, “I want

this play to help shift from a viewpoint of victimization to one of hope

and resilience. There are those who persevere every-day in the face of

apathy and disengagement to ensure that the Secwepemc language is

protected and nurtured for future generations.

“The verbatim nature of this piece allows us to see a contemporary

snapshot of both the joys and challenges facing language reclamation

efforts today. With this script there is a hope to inspire a call to action

to those who will join the effort to see the Secwepemc language thriv-

ing and strong.”

Join the cast for an entertaining, educational, eye-opening and in-

spiring cultural afternoon as part of WCT’s Culture Days. The public

reading takes place Sun. Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. at the Pavilion Theatre,

1025 Lorne St. Admission is free.
