Newsbeat Around the province Kamloops woman suing SPCA KAMLOOPS - In documents filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops last week, Donna Barker claims two SPCA constables “acted in bad faith” when they searched her house and seized two puppies last November. It was alleged at the time a Lower Mainland man drove to Knutsford to buy a Great Dane puppy from Barker after seeing an online ad on Nov. 6, 2011. He filed a complaint with the SPCA after returning home, describing the conditions as filthy and mentioning an injury on his dog. He said Carol Haughton, on bail for animal-cruelty charges at the time, was present during the sale and listed herself as owner on purchasing documents. The allegations led to an arrest warrant issued for Haughton, but charges were never laid against Barker. In Barker’s statement of claim, the SPCA’s search of her home is described as “invasive.” She also claims the search warrant was obtained “unlawfully.” Barker is seeking general damages, punitive damages and compensation for pain and suffering and legal costs.
Penticton delegation flying high PENTICTION - City officials are pleased with the result of their pitch Thursday to WestJet. “Everywhere we went, WestJet staff and other delegates were talking about Penticton,” said Mayor Dan Ashton. WestJet invited 33 communities to give in-person presentations at its Calgary headquarters in relation to the launch of its new regional carrier, which has yet to be named. The City of Penticton was invited, and to mark the occasion, the Mayor proclaimed the city would be named “WestJetville” for June 28, which caused a stir with airline officials and media in Calgary and beyond.

Will you be watching with interest to see the results of the Mid-term Timber Supply Review?
Amber Crutchley Kamloops Yes, I am. We know our timber and logging industry is in a slump, so anything that’s going to get that going again is a positive.
Michael Anthonysz 103 Mile I’m interested in possibly working in the industry, and if we can get more resources used to our advantage, all the better.
Steve Price 96 Mile Yes, you bet. I used to be in the logging business, so it’s a matter of interest.
Richard Gardner 103 Mile Yes I will because I am a displaced forest worker.
C ap sule C omments For the Olympic games starting in London later this month, the British team has been told to avoid handshaking with fellow participants and others. Since keeping healthy is of prime importance, they are just trying to minimize the chances of their athletes getting sick. Hand sanitizers will certainly be much in use.

One of the myths concerning sun exposure is that dark-skinned people don’t need sunscreen protection. In the U.S., rates of skin cancers are on the rise in African American and Hispanics so skin of all colours needs protection from the sun.

The word steroid often conjures up a negative image. But this class of chemicals is flowing through our bodies naturally. Cholesterol is a building block for hormones. Cortisol comes from the kidneys and regulates energy and immune function. Sex hormones like testosterone and estrogens regulate sexual function.
