Memorial ball hockey tournament celebrates
sport, friendship
With the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games coming to
Vancouver July 8 to 12, the 360 members of Special Olympics BC’s
biggest provincial team ever are ready to shine on this signifi cant na-
tional stage. This is the fi rst time since 1990 that Special Olympics
National Games will be held in B.C.
Team BC 2014 is comprised of 276 athletes with intellectual disabili-
ties, 70 coaches, and 14 mission staff, including four athletes and one
coach from Kamloops. Kamloops athletes are:
Lydia Richards, fi ve-pin bowling; Dallas Gilchrist, aquatics; Krista
McKee, aquatics; Joe Clouse, golf; and aquatics coach, Aaron Leon-
towich.
At the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Games July 8 to 12, athletes
will go for gold in 11 sports: 10-pin bowling, fi ve-pin bowling, aquat-
ics, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics,
soccer, and softball.
Team BC ready to roar in Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games
The inaugural Tka’s Eternal
Life Ball Hockey Tournament
will be held Aug. 23 through 24
at Westsyde Centennial Park.
The tournament is a co-ed tour-
nament for all ages from fi ve to
adults. There will be three divi-
sions based on age groups: fi ve
to 11; 12 to 17; and 18 and older.
Prizes will be awarded to the
winning teams in each division.
The tournament celebrates the
life of Taranveer (Tka) Dhillon,
who had a love for sports espe-
cially hockey. He played house
and rep with Kamloops Minor
Hockey for more than 12 years.
One of his biggest passions was
watching children fl ourish with
confi dence and doing what they
love.
If you would like to be part of
Tka’s legacy tournament, register
your team at www.tkaseternal-
life.org. Registration deadline is
July 10.
Tka’s Eternal Life Society is a
not-for-profi t society created to
support children in sports. The
mandate of the society is to en-
sure all children have the oppor-
tunity to play sports so they can
have increased confi dence, phys-
ical and emotional well-being.
PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT. Leading up to the Special Olympics Canada Supper Games, Gershon Koffi e and Carl Valentine of Vancouver Whitecaps FC joined Team BC’s soccer squad for on-fi eld fun at the end of their training camp last month.

HoroscopesJuly 7 - July 13, 2014
You can have success convincing someone of your ideas, even though you feel more under their infl uence rather than the other way around. You’ll be motivated to take charge & get things in place. To the beginning of Aug., you can get something settled that you may have attempted before, from late-May – mid-June.
Spending your money on something that’ll benefi t your health as opposed to purely pleasurable pursuits is the way to go. It can have long-term benefi ts, which can also include assisting you in fulfi lling your goals. You may have more support than you realise. A waiting game has been going on where others are concerned.
You’re ready on a personal level to move onto the next stage that’ll have more of a go ahead experience than a previous attempt. Even so, maintain a balanced approach through your natural ability to remain detached & logical. Following any temptation to risk it on the spur of the moment may undo all past good work.
You come back into the land of clear thinking that’ll last ‘til Aug 1. Anything that seemed to take off late-May – mid-June but then stalled or became uncertain in some way will now allow you move forward without hesitation. A new world can open up for you by mid-July, making you realise life is full of surprises.
You’re not yet ready to move forward though you can sense all sorts of possibilities developing in the background. Interaction with friends or with a group of people can give you much to think about. At the same time, you need to be careful this doesn’t dis-tract you from future goals. There’s only so much time in a day.
Recent pressures may encourage you to consider what should be important priorities, based on what you’re most comfortable about. Learning to resist taking things on because others garner sympathy from you can play a major role. Having reasonable time available for pleasurable pursuits is as signifi cant as work time.
You can at last begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Keep on track ‘til late-July. You now need to decide on commit-ments you’re prepared to handle without being infl uenced by any-body who pushes their own agenda in what may be a rebellious way. Whatever provides underlying security cannot be ignored.
Future direction someone else is prepared to discuss can begin to at last settle your own thoughts in regards to goals you wish to accomplish. You may sense some underlying rebellion with them that makes things diffi cult to predict. Remaining patient as well as cautious about revealing your thoughts can pay dividends later.
Pleasant interaction with others continues. Don’t believe that what is being presented is necessarily the real thing – some sort of role-playing may be going on. There can be a secretive agenda where others are concerned. Mysteries that have prevailed for a year now are heading towards the stage of being revealed.
This week gives you the opportunity to focus on what would pro-vide greatest personal fulfi lment. Challenges connected to this are the actions you need to take when it comes to commitments as well as ensuring you create circumstances you feel at peace with when it comes to daily routines involved.
Continue to take advantage of any opportunities that allow you to enjoy yourself though don’t spend too much money on them. You can sense something building up that can alter your future. It may feel it’s about time as well. Be content about taking care of details with patience ‘til Aug 1.
There should be something you can feel good about personally this week. You may be dealing with contradictions when it comes to someone else. Things have an easy fl ow but there can be a de-gree of withdrawal on their part. If this involves a group of people in some way it can result in tensions that you’re best to ignore.
