New care chair for Health Centre

2014

By Jill Hayward North Thompson Star/Journal

CCNA

Gilbert Smith Forest Products Ltd. (GSFP) held a ‘Shave For The Brave’ event last December in support of Mike Kennedy, a 30 year employee of the company who had been diagnosed with cancer.

The event was to show support for Kennedy and the journey he was undertaking as he began cancer treatments. Support was shown by 35 members of staff and management. For every head shaved, GSFP paid $100 into a pot to purchase a cancer treatment related item for a cancer facility in the southern Interior. Kennedy’s job was to look for what was needed in relation to a treatment item and where it could best be utilized.

During the event, Ron Wallace Trucking also lent their support by paying $50 for every head shaved, and a number of other donations were also received. The final total raised came to $6,870.

Kennedy’s choice of equipment was an electric Treatment Care Chair for the Barriere Health Centre, which had a cost of $9,500. So Gilbert Smith Forest Products generously stepped in, and brought the monies raised up to the $9,500. The new treatment chair is now installed and being utilized at the Barriere Health Centre.

The electric Treatment Care Chair has the ability to gently move the patient from the seated position into a fully reclined position.

Teacher demands ‘too high’ for mediation

The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of settlement” established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said last Thursday.

With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation nor a legislated settlement is being considered.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5% over five years to 14.5%. On wages and benefits alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted.

The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8% wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade.

Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal.

The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support.

“It is well into the $2 billion range,” Fassbender said of the union proposal. “It’s unaf-

Education Minister Peter Fassbender fordable for taxpayers.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said the union’s proposal is fair in light of the latest court decision.

“Evidence from the government’s own officials presented in B.C. Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275 million per year from B.C.’s public education system,” Iker said.

Fassbender said that misrepresents the situation, because the government has put an extra $1 billion a year into the education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract.

It has been spent in different ways, such as learning assistants who are not teachers, full-day kindergarten and a $75 million annual “learning improvement fund” to address class size and special needs support, Fassbender said.

Not all happy with happy hour in B.C.

By Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has begun allowing “happy hour” discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices.

Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15.

Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

The release of the regulations Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price.

The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer

a full food menu. The B.C. government’s liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes.

The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. Licensees are also allowed to transfer small amounts of stock from one to the other if they run out of a particular product.

In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform.

Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Budworm spraying planned for Thompson Okanagan Region North Thompson Star/Journal The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations have announced they will aerially treat approximately 23,600 hectares of forest in the Kamloops Timber Supply Area to reduce western spruce budworm populations.

The biological agent Foray 48B will be applied by helicopter on or about June 18 to July 5, 2014, weather permitting, on about 16 sites near Menanteau Lake, Logan Lake, Tunkwa Lake, Pinan-

Flossing your teeth is an important part of good oral hygiene. If you haven’t flossed in the past 24 hours, chances are you are putting your dental health at unnecessary risk. Here’s a good suggestion. Keep a package of floss next to your TV-watching chair. Then you can watch and floss at the same time.

Poor-fitting shoes can play havoc with your feet. Bunions are caused by shoes that are too tight. Women suffer the majority of foot problems that also include hammertoes and neuromas (thickened, painful nerves in the forefoot making walking difficult). The solution? Wider shoes. Not as fashionable, but your feet will thank you.

by Tom Fletcher

A brief history of teacher demands A few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006.

By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that.

Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8% over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%.

One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work.

Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements.

Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework.

Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that?

For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job.

Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation.

I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it.

Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Caribou endangered species, ‘declining at alarming rate’ To the editor; An open letter to Don Kayne, CEO of Canfor and Mary Polak, minister of environment for B.C: We teach at Thompson Rivers University, where we have told hundreds of students, in many courses, about mountain caribou.

They provide a classic example of a species endangered by human activity and are the focus of lectures on the effects of habitat fragmentation, among other topics.

We are now writing on their behalf.

They have declined at an alarming rate — 30 per cent since 2002 — and are now an endangered species.

In a letter to the Vancouver Sun (July16, 2012), Kayne portrayed Canfor as a progressive corporation, dedicated to upholding its social contract with British Columbians: “Canfor will not support actions that overturn landscape objectives set through public-planning processes unless there is full public consultation and support.

“We will not support actions that impact parks or critical habitat for species at risk.”

These words are difficult to reconcile with plans by Canfor Vavenby to conduct extensive salvage logging beside Wells Gray Park this summer.

These plans bring Canfor directly into conflict with Kayne’s stated commitments to public process, parks and to species at risk — especially mountain caribou.

Mountain caribou need old-growth forests.

Since the 1960s, clearcutting has reduced their winter forage and increased predation by wolves and cougars.

Despite this, some biologists are cautiously optimistic that regenerated, aging forests in southern Wells Gray may trigger recovery of the park’s dwindling caribou population — which is unlikely to occur elsewhere.

In these times of economic uncertainty and deepening climate change, it seems reasonable to expect decision-makers to think hard about cause and effect.

Given Canfor’s pledge not to act in ways likely to adversely affect endangered species, we must assume that Kayne is unaware of the Vavenby planner’s proposal — or of its impact on caribou.

The area planned for logging should be added to Wells Gray Park, not logged.

We call upon Polak to establish a moratorium on industrial timber extraction in the southern Clearwater Valley, north of Spahats Creek, until a comprehensive, province-wide discussion on best use can be undertaken.

Kamloops lawyer to seek federal NDP nomination

By Dale Bass Kamloops This Week Criticizing the Stephen Harper government for bringing cynicism to Parliament, Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu is seeking to run for a seat in that Ottawa building — as a member of the New Democratic Party of Canada.

In making the announcement he will run for the federal nomination in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding — now held by Conservative Cathy McLeod — Sundhu

said he has spoken with “men, women and youth from various walks of life . . . worried that the sacrifices and choices made by previous generations of Canadians to build a society based on fairness and equality of opportunity is in peril.”

Sundhu is a former judge and now a lawyer focusing on human rights.

He was recently appointed to the list of council for the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Sundhu said Harper’s government has

borrowed an ideology “from the U.S. Republican playbook” that has divided voters into us versus them and led to attack ads, contempt of Parliament “and bellicose rhetoric” that has attacked veterans and the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.

Eight years ago, Sundhu — then a provincial-court judge in Kamloops — was arrested after he verbally abused a staff member at a Vancouver hotel and threatened the jobs of offi-

cers sent to arrest him.

He knows this will be an issue should he secure the NDP nomination for the Oct 19, 2015, federal election.

“That’s old history,” he said. “I made a mistake but, in hindsight, it became an opportunity to be a better person.”

When he resigned as judge, then-attorney general Wally Oppal questioned whether that step was necessary, praising Sundhu’s years as a lawyer and a judge.

Sundhu said the incident was a turning point and led him to later be

accepted into a prestigious human-rights law program at Oxford University and, most recently, his involvement with the ICC, which deals with genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity.

He said he has been approached by NDP members several times in recent years and has some history with the local federal Liberal constituency association.

“But, this is the direction I have chosen to go,” he said, call-

Speed-limit changes after Canada Day By: Cam Fortems Kamloops This Week New regulations governing use of winter tires and rules to deter “left-lane hogs” will be part of a comprehensive announcement on new road safety initiatives, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

The rookie Kamloops-South Thompson MLA announced late last year the province would undertake public consultation on highway safety and speed limits, with the possibility of raising them in some corridors. That consultation included public meetings across the province and through Twitter.

Stone said he expects to announce those changes in Kamloops after the Canada Day long weekend.

“There’s going to be changes to speed limits and some increases on certain corridors,” he told KTW. Other changes expected include new regulations on use and specifications of winter tires, as well as ways to discourage drivers Stone called “left-lane hogs.”

“We want to get people out of the left lane unless they’re passing.”

Help save FR-4 serves local First Responders lives – join the First Responders Barriere First Responders

North Thompson Star/Journal Become a First Responder – you can make a difference and help to save lives within your community.

Barriere First Responders is a not-forprofit society that provides emergency medical care to patients per the request of the British Columbia Ambulance Service. First Responders are trained to provide basic life saving procedures that are critical to patients life and safety when an ambulance delay is inevitable.

The society responds to approximately 60 calls annually in the District of Barriere and surrounding area.

The funds to run the program within the community is sourced through fundraisings, donations and grant applications.

Those interested in joining the program are invited to attend a Recruitment Orientation on the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Barriere Fire Hall to obtain all the information, the training provided, and to have your questions answered.

The inaugural meeting of the Barriere First Responders Society was held on February 11, 2014 at the Barriere Fire Hall.

The society received a BC Ambulance unit at no cost to the society which serves as transportation of equipment and first responders to medical emergencies within the Barriere Fire District.

However, it is not used to transport patients, but does allow First Responders to attend calls until BC Ambulance personal can arrive on scene.

Barriere First Responders Society can be contacted by calling: 250-672-9711 or 778-220-6542, by email at: info@bafrs. org, or go to the web at: www.bafrs.org You can also find Barriere First Responders on Facebook.

Have you dropped a loonie in the Barriere Food Bank Can?

The Barriere First Responders Society acquired a retired BCAS ambulance that spent its life responding to medical emergencies in the Penticton, B.C. area. Once the vehicle was retired it was brought down to the lower mainland where it sat in storage at Knight Hill Automotive in Richmond, B.C. When the BCAS decided to donate an ambulance to the society the unit was given a chance for a new life. Knight Hill Automotive quickly jumped into action and stripped off all the decals on the unit that BCAS had put on, and preformed a mechanical inspection on the unit and found it fit for service once again. Two members were sent on a mission to drive to the coast and pick up Barriere’s newest emergency vehicle.

Once the vehicle was driven back to Barriere it was to be stored in a bay at the fire hall where it was quickly established that it would not fit in the bay unless some modification was made to increase the length. Thankfully for the society a small laundry room was able to lose a wall to make room for the new unit. The members took care of the wall and a new home was made for the newest addition to Barriere.

The unit was looking a little plain after Knight Hill removed all the decals on it, so new images were designed and sent off to Visual Signs in Kamloops to be made. Visual Signs made quick work of drafting up the new designs; and after a few emails back and forth the designs were finalized; and a date set for application of the decals. Visual Signs then came to the Barriere Fire Hall and applied all

100th Anniversary Bike Rodeo for kids, Sunday happening July 1 Barriere RCMP

Barriere’s 100th Anniversary Celebration has been rescheduled to take place (rain or shine) on Tuesday, July 1, at the ball parks where the field house is situated. The original event, set for June 15, was cancelled at the last minute due to organizer’s concerns regarding thunderstorm activity forecast for the area.

The committee has since regrouped, and have announced that all of the events previously scheduled for the June 15 event will now be happening on Canada Day. Everyone is encouraged to come out and wish Barriere, and Canada, a happy 100th and 147th birthday respectively! Opening ceremonies start at 3 p.m. sharp.

BikeBC funding for Barriere bike trail

North Thompson Star/Journal

More families and cycling enthusiasts will be able to keep active and have fun on two wheels, thanks to a $6,572 BikeBC grant, KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA, Terry Lake announced today.

In Barriere, the funding will go towards constructing a separated compactable gravel bike path 1 kilometre long beginning at Bartlett Road and Airfield Road, and ending at Yard Road and Highway 5.

“This new bike path will make it easier and safer for families to get outside on their bikes and live an active,

healthy and green lifestyle in Barriere,” MLA Lake said.

Across British Columbia, 13 communities will receive more than $1.18 million from BikeBC, a cost-sharing program between the province and local governments.

This year’s investment will create more than $2.36 million in cycling infrastructure, including multi-use separated pathways, bike lanes, bike paths and road-shoulder bikeways.

Since 2001, the B.C. government has committed more than $150 million to improving cycling infrastructure, creating new bicycle lanes and trails in more than 90 communities.

FREE Family BBQ June 29 11am - 2pm Fadear Park

This Sunday, June 29, the 3rd Annual Bike Rodeo will be back again at the Barriere Senior Centre parking lot thanks to the Barriere RCMP, Success by Six and Yellowhead Community Services.

Last year’s event gave away eight bicycles, many new bike helmets and other bike accessories. There were over 50 participants that included children of all ages from three to 14 years of age, from Kamloops to Blue River.

All ages of kids from 17 and under are welcome to participate in this year’s event, with registration starting at 11 a.m. in the registration tent, and the event running until 2 p.m. There will also be a couple of bicycles on hand to use if your child doesn’t have one, and a few spare helmets if needed.

All participants must wear a helmet when participating in the course. Once the participants have completed the course of four stations, they will drop off their completed sheet at the registration table while at the same time picking up a draw ticket for a chance to win one of many great prizes.

The Bike Rodeo is truly a family event, partnering with the community barbecue at the Bandshell and Fadear Park right next door. There will be

June 23 council meeting report

By Margaret Houben There were several delegations present at the June 23 meeting of the District of Barriere Council.

Jeff Conners, on behalf of Interior Health, the Canadian Cancer Society and Quit Now, spoke regarding the Outdoor Smoking Bylaw that many cities and districts in B.C. are considering or have already put in place.

The suggested bylaw is meant to help reduce the negative impact of tobacco use with current smokers, help prevent youth from starting, and to protect children from the effects of second hand smoke. The bylaw is generally aimed at prohibiting smoking in playgrounds, parks and trails, but each city or district can tailor theirs to

suit their community. Council members thanked Conners for his presentation, and will keep the information for possible future consideration.

Barb Gordon spoke next on behalf of the Anti-Violence Advocates Society - one of Barriere’s newest community groups. This group is looking to provide an educational program for our schools to teach the youth about healthy relationships. It will be a four year program of 12 hours of instruction per year for youth in grades seven, eight, nine and 10. Council members moved to give the group a grant in aid of $500 for this program.

The final presentation was made by Cpl. Darin Underhill, who spoke to council regarding two projects, the

annual 911 Emergency Services Golf Tournament, and the annual Bike Rodeo. Council members approved two grants, one of $500 for the Golf Tournament, and one of $150 for the Bike Rodeo. Councilor Kershaw stated that the TNRD would be making matching donations.

The final reading and adoption of the District of Barriere Zoning Bylaw No. 111 were passed, as were the first three readings of the District of Barriere Parks Bylaw No. 42, Amendment Bylaw No. 114. The latter adds one item to the existing bylaw and reads as follows: “3.15 - It shall be an offence against this bylaw for any person to: a) create a public safety issue or nuisance; or, b) operate any mo-

torized vehicle in any District park or trail or upon any public lands (exclusive of highways) unless authorized in writing by the District. Any person or persons found in violation of this section are liable to a penalty of $200 for a first offense and $400 for each subsequent offense.”

The final adoption of this bylaw will be at the next council meeting.

Council members approved a motion to direct staff to work on an agreement with the McLure Wildfire Monument Society and the TNRD with respect to cost-sharing the maintenance costs (of approximately $2,500 per year) for the Wildfire Monument Site.

It was reported by Councilor Kershaw that he heard Steve Shannon and Mike Fennell talking during the Roundup radio program on Saturday morning, saying that they would clean up the rubble around the HY Louis building before July 20 if the District didn’t. After a brief discussion, council members passed a motion to send them a letter of thanks, accepting their generous offer.

The next District of Barriere Council meeting will be on July 14 at 7 p.m.

Lowdown on connecting to the new sewer system Well, summer has finally started and it was hot for at least the first day. The mosquitoes and other bugs certainly like this weather and have returned in the kind of numbers that remind long time residents of years past.

There is a program that the District subscribes to through the TNRD to help out with keeping the mosquito population down, and it has been started for this year.

The planes that some have seen spraying mostly to the south of the District are spraying for the spruce bud worm problem. They are spraying Foray 48B, a biological insecticide widely used in B.C. and registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute. Its active ingredient is a naturally occurring bacterium.

I mention this for two reasons. Firstly The District does have a program in place to control annoying mosquitoes, and secondly the work that the Ministry of Forests is undertaking to control the infestation of various woodland pests is based on up to date science. The use of things like DDT is long gone from our environment.

I want to thank those residents that attended the recent roundtable meeting around the possible Community Benefits program proposed by Kinder Morgan. From feedback I received it appears the agenda for the meeting may not have been clear.

As the representatives from Kinder Morgan explained to the District councillors and staff that attended a previous meeting, the benefits would be implemented after project approval (and subject to approval) and before the pipeline would be in operation in 2018. The timing depends on the type of request – anything related to construction / equipment / workforce would be timed with construction activities in the Barriere area. The general time frame is 2016/2017.

If this information was not communicated clearly to area residents prior to the meeting I apologize. Everyone’s time is valuable and if some folks attended the meeting hoping for help in a much shorter time frame it could have been very frustrating.

Speaking of frustration a number of residents have mentioned that they have no information as to their role in connecting to the new sewer system. They see the trenches being dug along the roads, pipes being placed, and want to know how the whole system will roll out.

First off, nobody can use the system until the wastewater remediation centre is complete and has been commissioned. This is the building being built behind the fire hall. Once this building that houses all the controls and the filters that process the sewer is complete, and the greenhouse with the solar wastewater treatment tanks are in operation and proven to be able to handle sewage, then residential homes can be connected to send their sewage to the system. Best case scenario is that this will be later this fall. Note that I have said “best case scenario”.

Barriere’s heritage preserved in quilt

ayor M e h t s A . sees it.. with District of Barriere Mayor

Bill Humphreys There is a concern that winter weather will interfere with the private property connection work.

Frozen ground can certainly present some problems. It is my understanding that once residents have the connection point to the sewer line placed at their property line, they can then do the work to place the pipe on their property to connect to the system.

Once the private property pipe is placed from the house to the sewer line connection point, and prior to filling in the trench, the homeowner will need to contact the District to have the work checked. All of these connection pipes need to follow standard accepted plumbing code rules.

It is very, very important to remember that the sewer connection pipe cannot be connected to the outlet from the home until the sewer system is working.

Going forward District staff will be happy to help guide residents through the process.

In addition to the work of placing the new connection pipe, it will be required, once the sewage outflow from the home is not going to the septic tank, that the septic tank be pumped and decommissioned by filling with suitable material. This is important to remember when homeowners are budgeting for the work to be done.

Property owners can contact the District office should they have concerns around the hookup process, or where their connection is located.

Epp Cates Oien Barristers & Solicitors HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!!

Canada has been its own dominion since 1867. Stretching 9,910,610 square kilometres, Canada is the largest country in the Western hemisphere.

Despite its size and influence, Canada often receives little fanfare

and doesn’t often make the international headlines. Therefore, people living outside, and even inside, this “land of ice and snow” may not know all they can about our nation.

In honour of Canada Day this July, we

encourage everyone to learn a little more about the world’s second-largest country.

Canada was named from the Huron-Iroquois word, kanata, meaning “village or settlement.” Despite being so large, Cana-

da is home to roughly 34,278,400 million people, according to Statistics Canada (by comparison, the U.S. population is more than 300 million).

These millions of people are stretched out across Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories, which include: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon Territory.

Most people reside in the cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Canada was once a settlement overseen by the British. Today it is still governed as a constitutional monarchy. This means the monarch acts as head of the state within the

parameters of a constitution. The monarch doesn’t have sole political power, but works in concert with a parliamentary system.

The prime minister of Canada is the head of the government and exercises political power.

Of the ethnic groups living in Canada, most simply consider themselves to be Canadian. However, there are people of English, French, Scottish and Irish descent who call Canada home.

Despite public belief that all Canadians speak French, the language most often used at home and across Canada is English, according to the 2006 Census Profile of Federal Electoral Districts (2003 Representation Order): Language, Mobility and Migration and Immigration and Citizenship.

Ransome said the Barriere Ravens last game, played with International tie breaker rules, “was the most exciting game they have ever played”.

Although unable to clinch a placing in the top three, the team came out on top in the Skills Competition, being awarded a first place trophy that they were all extremely proud of.

Tournament results are: First - Kelowna Red Devils Second - Kamloops Krushers Third - Kelowna Blue Jays Skills Competition results: First - Barriere Ravens Second - Westsyde Outlaws Third - Kamloops Krushers The U16 Boys will be playing in Clearwater on July 4 to 6.

Rain, rain, go away - ladies want to golf and play

By Leslie Stirling Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. That old childhood song has sure been working when it comes to Tuesdays.

On June 17, 43 ladies hauled out their clubs for another great round of golf. There are many reasons for a round being great - old friends, new acquaintances, loads of laughter, good food. And for some folks, it’s great because they golf well.

Marla Muldoon shot a 42 to win low gross in Flight 1 and she also had a KP on Hole 4 (Campbell & Co), a long drive on Hole 5 (Station House Restaurant), only used 13 putts (Interior Savings Credit Union) and won half the birdie prize for scoring one on Hole 7. Deb Legaree scored a 48 to win low net in Flight 1.

Thanks to our Flight 1 sponsor Thompson Valley Awards.

Chinook Cove

Ladies Golf Report Those new acquaintances I mentioned did quite well. Marg Oulette scored a 50 to win low gross for Flight 2 And Gale Fauteux won low gross for Flight 3 with a 55. Gayle also picked up the AG Food prize for long drive on Hole 5 and the Ron Wallace Trucking prize for KP on Hole 6.

Fiona Clare scored a 51 to win the Low net in Flight 2. Sue Paulhus accepted with grace the Interior Savings prize for most putts.

Now we come to the LeBourdais girls, Sandy and Sunny. Deb and I always have trouble getting the names right. In the old west often the son was called the Younger and as Sunny is the daugh-

ter I thought “I’ll just call her the Younger” and will always know which one is Sonny. Of course, that made Sandy (you guessed it) the Elder much to Sonny’s delight. Thanks for being such a good sport Sandy. Both should have been pleased with their rounds. Sonny had a KP on Hole 4 (Bondar Forest Planning) and Sandy picked up three prizes - KP on Hole 6 (Stamer Logging), KP in 2 on Hole 7 (Armour Mtn Office Services) and long drive on 9 (Crystlee’s Hair Design).

There were a number of other multiple prize winners. Hazel Cross had a long putt on Hole 1 (Estylo Hair Design) and a long drive on Hole 3 (Rainer Custom Cutting). Val Williams had a KP on Hole 4 (Carl’s Market Garden) and a long putt on Hole 9 (Country Store Antiques).

Carol Willox had two

long putts - one on Hole 3 (Shais Design) and one on Hole 5 (Val Bella Studio).

Ilke Marais shared the birdie pot with Marla. Ashley Salle won the Pottery by Ramona prize for being closest to the golfer on Hole 1. Susan Newberry had a long putt on Hole 2 to win the Knights Inn certificate.

Babes Shanko had a long putt on Hole 8 to win the Barriere A&W prize. Susan Mitchell picked up the Barriere Timber Mart prize for a long drive on Hole 8 and Chris LeCerf made a long putt on Hole 9 to win the Barriere Massage prize. Deb Rainer was the biggest winner of the evening with a KP on Hole 6 (EBL Ventures) that she turned into a deuce picking up a cool $198 as the pot had gone unclaimed for four weeks.

As in the immortal words of Porky Pig “That’s all folks!”

Black and white as a photographic medium

Snapping pictures with modern technology

Making Pictures

An enthusiastic relative used a chair to get a bird’s eye camera view during the Yellowhead Community Services Little Stars Pre-School graduation ceremony at the Ridge on June 13. Of course the camera recording the event is a part of the tablet he is holding up. No more “look at the birdie”, now we can say “look at the apple”.

high quality printers, and the latest in printing papers, black and white image-making will continue to be an option for a host of serious creative photographers.

Those photographers that are good at black and white photography learn to exploit the differences in tonal elements in a scene, and present viewers with successful B&W portrayals that make excellent use of shapes, textures, light and shadow. The loss of those original colours becomes irrelevant.

For those that haven’t tried monochromatic (another word applied to B&W) image making, I will mention that it is easier than ever. Most digital cameras have a black and white mode available in the menu. I don’t really like using that, as it does nothing more than de-saturate an images colour data file, excluding control of the different tonal values that make up a black and white image.

I suggest trying one of the many great pro-

Thankfully postproduction is no longer contained to dedicated, darkened rooms. I still have an 11’x11’ foot room in our basement, complete with a sixfoot stainless steel sink and custom cabinets.

However, it’s mostly used to store photo equipment and for washing my chickens’ eggs.

Now my lab is on the main floor of our home, and instead of chemicals, the image and print production has become an intricate combination of computer programs, quality printers, and papers that easily rival the quality of chemical-based, traditional, black and white photography.

A black and white photograph depends on its ability to communicate, it doesn’t need to rely on eyecatching colours for its visual presentation.

Those B&W images that stand and pass the test of time, combine attention to subtle changes in light, composition, and perspective. It stretches our creativity, and forces us to visualize our world in different terms. I remember a photographer once saying that he believed shooting in B&W refined one’s way of seeing. And I heartily agree.

In spite of the many modern photographers that don’t bother with anything more than just accepting what comes out of their camera, black and white photography is far from being left behind in the past.

In my opinion, with the current processing software, updates in

Black and white photography has always been my favourite photographic medium. I recall when I first began pointing my camera at different subjects, and started making photographic prints, that I didn’t think too much of colour photography.

Yes, colour was fine for documentary work as found in “National Geographic” magazine, or making snapshots of some family, but in the 1970’s creative photographers seemed to be working in black and white, not colour.

Photojournalist Ted Grant, who is regarded as Canada’s premier living photographer wrote, “When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!”

Black and white photographs always (and still do in my opinion) seem to create moods and convey an almost tactile quality.

During the period of film photography, photographers had to decide whether their subject would look best in black and white print film, colour print film or slide film, and most photographers trudged around with at least two camera bodies weighing them down.

However, today that decision to make a black and white image is best left to the computer and some exciting post-production software. And there is no need to pack around another camera. (Well, unless one is worried about camera

Lyme disease - Why you should take note North Thompson Star/Journal Lyme disease is a serious illness that’s present in Canada and spreading. Canadians at risk from Lyme disease include those, who live, work and/or play in close proximity to ticks that spread the disease.

If not identified and treated early, Lyme disease can cause serious health issues. But there are simple and effective measures you can take to protect against it.

As you prepare to spend time outdoors, learn more about Lyme disease and how to prevent it.

Lyme disease is a serious illness which can be spread by the bite of blacklegged ticks that are infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.

In regions where blacklegged ticks are found, people can come into contact with ticks by brushing against vegetation while participating in outdoor activities, such as golfing, hiking, camping and gardening.

While not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, populations of infected blacklegged ticks are growing. This means that the risk of contracting Lyme disease is on the rise across Canada.

Blacklegged ticks can be active through-

out much of the year; however, your risk of a tick bite is highest in the spring and summer months.

Take steps to reduce your risk if you spend time outdoors in areas where there may be ticks. As ticks are very small and their bites are usually painless, you may not know you’ve been bitten, so it’s important to be on the lookout for ticks and the symptoms of Lyme disease.

Blacklegged ticks are most often found in forests and the overgrown areas between the woods and open spaces, although it’s possible to be bitten outside of these areas.

The following are areas where blacklegged tick populations have been confirmed or are establishing: Southern British Columbia, southeastern and south-central Manitoba, southern and eastern Ontario, southern Quebec, southern New Brunswick and Grand Manan Island, south shore and northern mainland Nova Scotia.

Ticks don’t move far by themselves but they can attach to migratory birds, and may fall off far from their original location. For this reason, it’s possible to find infected ticks in other areas than the ones listed above. Surveillance is ongoing to confirm other areas of spread.

Ticks can be infected with more than one type of bacteria that can cause human illness, hence guarding against tick bites will protect you from more than just Lyme disease.

• Wear closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants • Pull your socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs • Wear light-coloured clothing to spot ticks easier • Use insect repellents that contain DEET or Icaridin. Repellents can be applied to clothing as well as exposed skin. Always read and follow label directions • Shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to wash away loose ticks • Do daily “full body” checks for ticks on yourself, your children and your pets • If you find a tick on your skin, removing it within 24-36 hours usually prevents infection Initial symptoms differ from person to person, and some people will not experience any symptoms, which makes Lyme disease very difficult to diagnose. Furthermore, others may experience mild symptoms like fever or a skin rash soon after being bitten, while others may suffer severe symptoms, but not for weeks after the bite.

Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can include one or a combination of the following with varying degrees of severity: fatigue, fever or chills, headache, muscle and joint pain, spasms, or weakness, numbness or tingling, swollen lymph nodes, skin rash, cognitive dysfunction, dizziness, nervous system disorders, arthritis and arthritic symptoms, heart palpitations.

Untreated, symptoms can last years and include recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness and paralysis. Although not common, fatalities from Lyme disease have been reported. If you saved the tick that bit you, bring it with you to your medical appointment as it may help the doctor in assessing your illness.

Diagnosis Getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease can be difficult because symptoms vary from one person to another and may be similar to other infectious diseases that are spread by ticks.

Your healthcare provider will likely: Lyme disease can be effectively treated with two to four weeks of antibiotics. Depending on your symptoms, and if you are diagnosed in the later stages of the disease, you may require a longer course of antibiotics.

Graduation day for Barriere Elementary’s grade 7 class

June 22 was the official day of graduation for 32 grade 7 students from Barriere Elementary who will be moving into grade 8 at the high school this fall. Due to the BCTF strike the students gathered in the Ridge gymnasium for their festivities, including receiving certificates and awards, which were followed by pizza and a dance. The students wish to say thank you to everyone who helped to put this important event together for their class. Pictured are 22 students from the class with their teachers, Mrs. Kerslake (front far right) and Miss Hollingshead (second from right).

Make sure your measles immunizations are up to date North Thompson Star/Journal Interior Health’s Medical Health Officer would like to remind the public to make sure their immunizations are up to date. The Interior Health region has recently had one confirmed measles case in a travelling Alberta resident who became ill and was diagnosed in Penticton. Communities in the Fraser Health region and Alberta have experienced large measles outbreaks this spring.

“So far in Interior Health we have only had one recent measles case, but that can change at any time especially with the increase in measles activity that we have seen in other parts of B.C. and Canada,” said Dr. Parker, Medical Health Officer. “Measles is a potentially severe illness caused by a virus and it is very contagious. The best way to prevent a measles outbreak here is by making sure our immunization rates are high.”

Those born before 1970 are considered immune, as measles exposure in childhood was quite common in the decades prior to routine immunization.

But for those born after 1970, the only protection against measles is immunization. It takes two doses of a measles vaccine (MMR) to protect against measles. In B.C., children routinely receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR) at 12 months of age and upon starting kindergarten, unless families have chosen not to immunize.

Those who received only one dose are not considered to be immune. It is very important to verify that two doses of the vaccine have been received. This can be done by checking your immunization record. If you are not

sure how to access your immunization record visit ImmunzeBC(http://www.immunizebc. ca/questions-answer/how-do-i-get-proof-myimmunity-or-where-can-i-find-my-immunization-record) or contact your local public health centre.

Measles spreads easily through the air and can be passed on to others by an infectious person for one to two days before symptoms develop and up to four days after rash onset.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, and red and inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis). These are followed by a rash, which starts first on the face and neck, spreads to the chest, arms, and legs, and often lasts up to a week.

When a measles case is identified, public health staff contact all those who may have been exposed to the virus to assess their risk and provide immunization when needed. They also advise those who may have measles to take measures to reduce the spread to others.

“When someone is experiencing measles symptoms, or if they have been in contact with someone who has measles, it is very important that they stay away from others to prevent spreading the disease,” added Dr. Parker. “If a person suspects they may have measles and they need to go to the hospital, emergency room or a doctor’s office, we advise them to call ahead first, so health-care staff can take measures to isolate the patient as they come in and avoid exposing others in waiting rooms to a potentially infectious disease.”

If you have any questions about measles, please call HealthLink BC by dialling 8-1-1.

If you need to make an appointment for immunization, contact your local public health centre.
