The annual picnic of the Church of St Paul in Barriere was held on Sunday, June 23. The event continues a long-standing tradition of this yearly gathering. The first picnics originally took place in the Anglican Church, which since 2010 has now become part of a Shared Ministry.

The Church of St Paul (there is no period after “St”, as the name is an acronym for Serving Together as a Parish of Anglicans, United and Lutherans) was officially formed in Barriere when the Anglican Church of Canada, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the United Church of Canada joined together to form the Shared Ministry on May 23, 2010.

For many years, the Congregation of the United Church of Clearwater (which joined the Anglican Church in that community) had exchanged the organization and local of the yearly picnic gathering, but during recent years the picnic has consistently been held in Barriere.

This year the weather was unpredictable, but everyone decided to carry on in holding the service outside on the lawn and near the trees.

However, since clouds started moving in as it got closer to meal time it was deemed best to move inside for the eating part of the picnic.

All attendees agreed that it would have been a shame if rain spoiled the delicious food that members of the Congregation had provided.

Once inside, the activity room of the Church was filled with cheerful people of all ages. Those waiting in line to fill their plate with the great food being offered visited with each other and had plenty to talk about as they waited their turn.

The event provided another enjoyable occasion for parishioners to share tasty food and good company, and all expressed the hope that the yearly “Church Picnic” in Barriere will be continuing for many more years to come.

More candidates than ever running in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

There are six people aiming to be the riding’s MP, which is the largest field of candidates since the constituency was formed in 2004 Michael Potestio Kamloops This Week

The field appears to be set, with six challengers vying to be the member of Parliament from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo in Canada’s 43rd federal election, which will be held on Oct. 21.

Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod is seeking her fourth term, noting unfinished business for her, including the building of the Trans

Mountain pipeline expansion and continued work on First Nations files, as she is her party’s Indigenous Affairs critic.

Looking to unseat the longstanding MP is political heavyweight Terry Lake, who, after months of speculation, was acclaimed as the federal Liberal candidate.

The former Kamloops mayor and B.C. minister of health said he chose to enter the race because he feels there’s more work to

be done combatting the opioid crisis.

He said he also wants to help maintain the progress he has seen the Liberal government make in areas such as climate change, Indigenous reconciliation and the economy.

Care-aide worker Gina Myhill-Jones, who is from the 100 Mile House area, was acclaimed by the New Democratic Party.

She said too many people have been left behind and ignored by the Conservatives and the Liberals, opining that Canadians need a government that is fair, transparent and honest.

Kamloops lawyer Iain Currie, who has worked on a number of prominent homicide cases, was acclaimed as the Green candidate. He said environmental issues spurred him to enter the race.

Maxime Bernier’s fledging People’s Party of Canada acclaimed Lac la Hache rancher Ken Finlayson as its candidate.

Finlayson cited “division, uncertainty and suffocating government regulations” as factors in his decision to run as the PPC candidate, noting he agrees with the party’s policies.

Kamloops resident Peter Kerek was acclaimed the Communist Party of Canada’s candidate.

Kerek, a school bus driver in Kamloops, said he decided to run because the other parties support capitalism and believes there needs to be opposition to the capitalist system.

Both men have past political experience — Finlayson ran as an independent candidate in the Saskatchewan riding of Battlefords-Lloydminster in

a 2017 byelection and Kerek was the Kamloops-North Thompson Communist candidate in the 2017 provincial election.

The six candidates make it the largest field of candidates vying for the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo seat since the riding was created in 2004 from boundary changes among adjacent constituencies.

The election campaign can begin as early as 50 days and as late as 26 days ahead of the election, which means the writ will drop between Sept. 1 to 15.

To vote in a federal election, a person must be registered on the list of electors.

People can register at the polls when they go to vote, but if registered in advance, they will receive a voter information card in the mail when the federal election is called. The voter information card

HOMETOWN GIRL GIVES BACK TO BARRIERE North Thompson Star/Journal

Chelsea Harris was born and raised in Barriere.

In 2013 she started a business within the community called Sowilo Health and Wellness.

In 2019, Harris made the move to Kamloops to expand her business, and opened the doors on her birthday (June 11, 2019) in a unique way of giving back to both the Barriere and Kamloops communities.

Harris donated all her time and proceeds earned on the June 11 opening day of her business to the Barriere Anti-Violence Advocates Society and the Kamloops Women’s Shelter.

“Thank you Chelsea Harris for your generous donation and commitment to Barriere, and in particular to the Anti Violence Society’s Respectful Relationship Program,” said Anti-Violence Advocates Society representative Barb Gordon last week while accepting the donation from Harris.

The old saying choose your friends carefully has deep meaning to it and it goes in all parts of life, from who you are associating with in your life be it at work play or at home. Train your mind to attract better than self people into your life if you are wanting a better life. There have been many tests around the world to show like attracts like. Fill a room with 100 strangers and in a short time the hard workers are in one group, as with the drinkers, dopers and right down to the rich with rich and the poor with poor. Ask your self, “who am I and what do I want in my life?”, then take the action to have a positive life with the people you invite into your life.

GUEST Editorial; by Glenn Mitchell

It’s down to the last straw I try to recycle. I probably don’t qualify for sainthood in the church of the three ‘Rs’ or anything but I do try.

We have a composter in the backyard, we use our two blue boxes, although they should be recycled themselves soon but I’m too cheap to replace them because I figure they should be free like the first two, but when I tried to pick one up the other day and the handle broke allowing the box to fall on my foot, twice, I almost broke down and bought a couple for plastic and metal and paper.

We even take glass jars to the recycling centre, but that’s not as convenient as it used to be.

My wife’s even got me recycling plastic wrap around food, again to the recycling centre, which is a bit of work if you ask me but, hey, we’re saving the planet here folks, one piece of plastic at a time.

I even do my best to recycle Keurig coffee pods, but really who am I kidding ’cause if I really cared about Mother Earth I wouldn’t be using a disposable one-time-use system in the first place.

However I guess I feel a little better when I take my glasses off and try to find the arrow, if there is one, where it’s supposed to be easier to separate the coffee pod that you throw away from the plastic container that you can recycle.

I have a 10-minute rule, though, so if I can’t separate them by then they get to live together in eternity at the local landfill, guilt-free. Like I said, I’m no ecological hero.

I have a similar rule for 475-millilitre salad dressing containers. If I can’t get the bottom of the Thousand Island container clean in 10 minutes or after 4,750 litres of rushing tap water, whichever comes first, I bail on the planet.

I rationalize it by saying I’m saving another 12,000 litres of water by sacrificing one small plastic bottle—a good trade for Mother Earth or not?

Now you may wonder how I live with myself in these politically correct times, and I guess you would be right, after all I’ve already confessed some of my sins (yes, there’s likely more) so how could I expect any mercy?

And that’s the thing. When it comes to hard-core environmentalists there is no room for mercy.

The world was born, then we came

along and screwed it up, pretty much end of story in every sense of the phrase.

It’s become a religion, except unlike most religions there’s no chance of redemption, no matter how hard you try the guilt is always there.

The federal Liberals have just announced a potential ban on one-timeuse plastic bags, straws and cutlery, if they get elected of course (a little late to the game and more than a little political but…), which is all fine and good but it doesn’t come into effect until 2021.

Meantime, some stores charge five cents for plastic bags now, allowing them to look like they care about the planet while making a tidy profit in the exchange, or people bring their own cloth bags (that may or may not get cleaned out on a regular basis), or the customer does a juggling act with his seven to nine items while looking like he cares and saving a dime at the same time.

I usually forget my cloth bags in the car and once you’re in the lineup you’re forced to decide—pay and you and the environment lose or juggle and save the planet but potentially lose the eggs.

It’s when they ask “Need any bags today?” in that tone that implies if you do you’re pond scum that sometimes gets to me.

So I have some questions: Why are straws suddenly Public Enemy No. 1 after all these decades? Maybe we should have figured out they could hurt sea animals, oh, a couple billion straws or so ago?

I kind of get the plastic bags thing, although they come in handy on the home front on occasion, but what about going back to paper bags which I’m sure are more environmentally friendly and could be produced here in B.C.?

Shouldn’t we be going after bigger targets like the plastic that holds a six-pack of beer cans together, or the dry cleaning industry, or Amazon and others that ship all that stuff with all that packaging, or even restaurants that used to supply mints and fortune cookies sans plastic (hard to imagine now actually), or even the toilet paper we buy that’s wrapped together in plastic and then individually as well (I know, don’t have to buy that kind)?

Renewable energy is not just greener, it costs less To the editor; Climate Action requires switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. While switching has upfront capital costs, operating costs for renewable energy are lower.

Electricity from coal requires coal mining or removing overburden, recovering, crushing, washing, shipping, and burning coal.

Then pollutants are scrubbed from the emissions.

Not all pollutants can be scrubbed so coal remains a major source of air-pollution illness and death. Switching to geothermal energy requires drilling a hole 4 km into the earth and installing a U-shaped pipe. Water flows down.

The earth’s natural geothermal gradient boils and returns the water to the surface as steam.

Just as in coal-fired power plants, steam spins turbines attached to

electric generators.

The need to mine coal and strip pollutants is eliminated.

Boilers are replaced with holes in the ground. Simpler. Cheaper.

Cleaner. More reliable. Zero carbon emissions.

Climate Action saves money.

Clearcutting B.C.’s last old-growth is leaving all of us poorer, forever

By Jens Wieting Senior Forest and Climate Campaigner Sierra Club BC

ing their ecological integrity. Instead, B.C. is exporting about three million cubic meters of old-growth per year as raw logs, accepting massive environmental losses for minimal economic benefits.

The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s old-growth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly sustainable forest management. We can still choose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned

selective logging. This would deliver “negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting.

Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support.

The longer we wait the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces.

A new old-growth clearcut in Schmidt Creek, until recently one of the last relatively intact watersheds on Eastern Vancouver Island.

in the world. However, satellite images show that on Vancouver Island, we are losing what little forest remains intact three times faster than Brazil’s primary rain forest in the Amazon is being destroyed.

Massive amounts of carbon have been added to the atmosphere as a result and only a tiny fraction remains stored in wood products. One study estimates the loss of carbon when comparing old-growth forest to a 60-year old stand at more than 300 tonnes of carbon per hectare (more than 1,000

tonnes of carbon dioxide).

The current oldgrowth logging rate on Vancouver Island alone is about 10,000 hectares a year or more than 30 soccer fields a day. The inescapable conclusion is that old-growth logging on Vancouver Island alone contributes millions of tonnes annually to provincial carbon dioxide emissions.

Elstone highlights that in recent years close to half of the volume cut on Vancouver Island came from old-growth. Today the Island’s productive old-growth (for-

ests with relatively big trees, not bonsai sized trees that government and industry likes to include to inflate numbers) has been reduced to about 20 percent of its former extent. Only six percent of the original productive oldgrowth of the Island is protected.

Elstone is in denial about old-growth logging coming to an end, one way or the other. This should be a huge concern for everyone with a job in the woods.

We will not leave anything close to what we found for future generations. Plants

and animal species that depend on old-growth will vanish. Climate impacts will worsen without the shield of intact ancient forests to reduce droughts, floods and fires. Degraded landscapes will impact the quality of drinking water and allow fewer options for a diverse economy that includes tourism and recreation.

Elstone claims 55 per cent of remaining old-growth forests on Vancouver Island is protected. This is highly misleading. As the total amount of old growth trees declines due to logging, of

Earlier this month, hundreds of British Columbians visited MLA offices across the province demanding protection of endangered old-growth forests and improved forest management, during a day of action organized by Sierra Club BC. In response, David Elstone, the executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, accused our organization of not acknowledging the economic importance of old-growth logging and claimed that clearcutting what little remains is sustainable (B.C. has most sustainably managed forests in the world, June 6).

He was joined by columnist Tom Fletcher repeating outdated claims about the climate benefit of replacing old-growth forests with young trees. Fletcher ignores modern science showing that clearcutting ancient trees results in the rapid loss of huge amounts of carbon accumulated over hundreds of years (Urban environmental “emergency” routine wearing thin, June 9).

Sierra Club BC is concerned about the economic, social and ecological impact of clearcutting endangered old-growth forests. True sustainability is leaving similar values and conditions for future generations. But B.C.’s ancient giants have been reduced to a fraction of their former extent, replaced by young, uniform forests cut in short rotation forestry, never allowed to grow old again.

Elstone claims B.C.’s forest management is the most sustainable

course the percentage that is protected goes up. B.C. could destroy 99 per cent of all oldgrowth, set aside one percent and report 100 per cent protected. Is this the approach to conservation British Columbians want?

His sustainability argument is particularly troubling considering B.C.’s old-growth forests were looked after

by Indigenous peoples for millennia. Indigenous communities made use of forests in hundreds of different ways without destroy-

COFFEE AND PARKINSON’S AND ALZHEIMER’S: Scientists at the Krembil Brain Institute in Toronto have been investigating compounds in coffee that might provide a positive therapeutic effect on these diseases. They identified a group of compounds called phenylindanes and felt that it was these chemicals that were implicated and not the caffeine. They also knew that positive effects were there whether the coffee was decaffeinated or not. The phenylindanes appeared to inhibit clumping in both the beta amyloid and tau, two protein fragments common in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The other thing they discovered was that dark-roast coffee had higher quantities of the chemical than light-roasted coffees. But as usual with ideas like these, a lot more research is needed to prove them. They want to know whether these chemicals have the ability to enter the bloodstream or cross the blood-brain barrier. It’s a tantalizing thought that the cure for these diseases could be found in the ubiquitous cup of coffee. pH: As we remember from all the chemistry courses we took in our pharmacist education, pH is all about hydrogen and hydroxide ions, the concentration of which shift depending on whether a solution is acidic or alkaline. When an acid is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hyroxide ions shifts and there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide. The reverse is true with bases. A strongly acidic solution can have one hundred million million (that’s 100,000,000,000,000) times more hydrogen ions than a strongly basic solution. But pH measures alkalinity and acidity on a logarithmic scale which simplifies the expression of acidity into a number rather than using all those zeros.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: Do you remember when you were studying to be a pharmacist whether you were told of the miracles that could be seen by imbibing 4% acetic acid? I don’t recall this but my degree was from a few decades back. However we see frequent references to this on the net, in health food stores and in “health” magazines.

Besides “detoxifying” the blood, it is supposed to promote weight-loss, promote digestion, lower blood sugar, beautify your skin, soothe a sore throat, prevent dandruff and add a natural shine to your hair. Now some people swear by the product (placebo?) However, its power to detoxify the blood isn’t a valid claim.

$79,000 in TNRD Gas Tax Funding to improve Little Fort Community Hall water system

By Jill Hayward

The Thompson Nicola Regional District Board at their June 13 meeting approved Federal Gas Tax Funds totaling $79,000 for improvements to the Little Fort Community Hall water system.

The application for funding noted that the Little Fort Farmers Institute were the original owners of the Little Fort Community Hall (located at 148 Hwy 24 in Little Fort). In 2000, ownership was moved to the Little Fort Recreation Society (LFRS), and then shortly thereafter the TNRD took over ownership of the hall in trust, for the Community of Little Fort.

In late 2014 an agreement was signed between the TNRD and the Little Fort Recreation Society. Under

community hall is a shallow well which, after recent renovations, is located within the fire truck garage portion of the Community Hall building.

Upgrades were made to the water system in 2010 by the TNRD, and volunteers with the Little Fort Recreation Society have been operating the system.

In 2016 the TNRD Board approved $5,000 in Gas Tax funding for potable water supply piping improvements in the hall.

More recently, after problems with the operation of the water system disinfection equipment and concerns about maintaining chlorine residuals, it has become necessary to make additional capLittle Fort Community Hall (Mikael Kjellstrom photo) ital improvements to ensure safe operation of the system. that agreement the Soci- and manage the hall and its and collect fees for use of the The recommended improveety was responsible, among operations, maintain and ar- hall. ments included: other things, to organize range for repairs, and assess The water supply for the • Chlorine contact tank c/w

valve and timer, • Drain pit, • Control panel and programming, • Instrumentation, • Chlorine and turbidity analyzers, • Well head modifications to meet regulatory requirements, and • Installation and commissioning.

The recommended improvements also include new communications equipment and SCADA controls, so the system can be monitored remotely.

The total estimated cost, including a contingency and engineering totals $84,000.

By utilizing the previously approved $5000 in Gas Tax, the most recent current Gas Tax funding approval of $79,000 provides the total amount required to complete the project.

Williams Lake, Kamloops and at regional centres in the Interior. Providing training close to students’ homes where there are available jobs is important to meet the needs of students and communities, she said.

“And you’re done in 27 weeks. You’ve got good skills, you’re in demand, you’re job ready, you’ll start off making a decent wage.

And making a huge difference in people’s lives,” she said.

“We have an aging population—the silver tsunami, as it’s been described. Not only do we have an aging population with an increasing need for care and support, but we have an aging healthcare workforce. So, the demand is high as health care professionals retire. It’s kind of a domino effect with what’s happening with demographic changes.”

The on-campus program in Williams Lake takes 18 students, while another 12

seats are available in regional centres (100 Mile House, Ashcroft/ Cache Creek, Barriere, Clearwater and Lytton/Lillooet) through a blended option. Regional students can take most classes in their home communities—an option that had special ministry funding.

“It’s working really well. Students seem to like it and we continue to improve it.”

Christianson start-

ed her own nursing career as a healthcare assistant, so she understands what the job involves.

“Personal care is a big part of the job, but equally important is the interaction and socialization that you give to this population. It not only enriches the client, it enriches the healthcare assistants’ lives as well. It’s amazing the relationships that you build,” she said.

“Health-care assistants are the eyes and ears and hearts of the health-care system.

They are with the clients more than other health-care providers.”

More than 150 years Each year, Cana- July 1. Canada Day pride in their country dians celebrate their is an opportunity for while commemorating ago, Canada became nation’s birthday on Canadians to show its history. a new federation with its own constitution.

Today Canada Day is a statutory holiday celebrated in all provinces and territories, and most businesses close to enjoy the festivities. In 2019, Canada Day falls on a Monday, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a three-day weekend and to celebrate Canada’s 152 birthday!

The British North America Act went into effect on July 1, 1867.

The legislation essentially created Canada as a new, domestically self-governing federation, according to the Canadian Museum of History. The original federation consisted of the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec.

In 1868, Governor General Lord Monck signed a proclamation that requested all Canadians celebrate the anniversary of the

act going into effect.

In 1879, a federal law made July 1 a statutory holiday in honor of the “anniversary of the Confederation.” This would be known as Dominion Day, which referenced the country being known as the Dominion of Canada.

Dominion Day was renamed “Canada Day” on October 27, 1982.

Canada Day celebrates a country but also serves as a holiday that signals that the weather has warmed, barbecue season is in full effect, the kids are off from school, and the pools and beaches are ready for crowds.

Parades and fireworks are common throughout Canada to mark the occasion.

Seven wagons and teamsters, many of them from Barriere, took part in the Inland Draft and Teamsters Association Mike and Ginger Chappell’s view from the wagon as their annual Wagon Trek held in Knutsford, B.C., the weekend of June 15. team of Belgians move along the trail.

Barriere teamsters join Inland Draft Wagon Trek

By Jill Hayward

The Inland Draft and Teamsters Association say that approximately 50 per cent of the association’s members annually attend the North Thompson Fall Fair in Barriere as competitors over the annual Labour Day weekend event.

The Association also hosts a Wagon Trek every June, and this year was no exception. Their most recent Wagon Trek took place the weekend of June 15, with seven wagons, six of which were on the trail with only one outrider this year.

Camp for the

Wagon Trek was up at Somerville Lake in Knutsford, which is a private lake that was generously opened for the Trek by the Haughton family.

This year’s Trek saw half the teamsters coming from Barriere; Cara and Mark Ralko, John Reedy, Richard Arthur, and Ginger

and Mike Chappell.

Each day consisted of four to six hours on the trail, and was over a variety of terrain for the teamsters and their companions.

“This is a great group of people that still embrace a ‘salt of the earth’ attitude and lifestyle, utilizing their horses for pleasure,

show and farming,” said Mike Chappell, “The members welcome everything from mini’s to draft size horses. Their events consist of plowing, wagon treks, fairs, parades, sleigh rides, practices, clinics and general gatherings.

Some of them also do public rides, weddings

and funerals.”

If you would like to learn more about the Inland Draft and Teamsters Association they can be found on Facebook. Better yet, why not meet them and their horses first hand at this year’s North Thompson Fall Fair in Barriere, B.C., Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.

Lady in the sand trap was a painful thing to watch

As I sit in my office on this very wet Thursday I am reflecting on the lovely weather we had for Ladies’ Night on Tuesday, June 18.

Thirty-nine ladies turned out to take advantage. The Golf gods must have been smiling on us. We did get a light sprinkle and I do mean LIGHT. The temperature was perfect for golfing. Too bad my golfing wasn’t perfect for the temperature.

Flight 1 winners were Donna Salle (low gross - 42) and Susan

Newberry (low net - 45). Flight 2 prizes went to Deb Legaree (low gross - 47) and Terry Blaeser (low net - 51). The Flight 3 winners, Evelyn Lucas (low gross - 49) and Jeannie Webber (low net - 50) were greeted with a chorus of “move them up”. Jess Thompson was low gross winner in Flight 4 with a score of 52 while Barb Smith had second low gross with a score of 59.

Donna Salle had a record setting low putts having utilized her putter only 10 times in the entire round.

Sue Paulhus also set a record but it was for the highest most putts any of us can remember. Deb Rainer set a personal record for taking eight strokes in the sand trap on Hole 6. Believe me, it was a painful thing to watch.

The Birdie Pot winner this week was Marla Hajmerle. I have been

working very hard to pronounce Marla’s last name and the past few weeks she has won enough prizes to give me a good workout. Deb Rainer, Janice Advent and Susan Newberry split the Chip In pot.

Pin Placement Prizes (try to say that three times quickly) were passed out in the usual fashion. If you are wondering what the usual fashion is…it includes a lot of teasing, a lot of laughter and a lot of cheering. Long putt prizes went to Audrey Rilcoe, Audrey Deveau, Marion Wallace, Vicki Hoffer and Debbie Rainer. Long drives earned a goody for Susan Bondar (2), Rose Seymour, Susan Mitchell, Doreen Landry, Jessica Thompson, and Cindy Leibel. Betty Foote won the Short Drive prize and Audrey Deveau came closest to the 150 marker on Hole 9. KPs were made by Catharine Phillips, Debbie Rainer,

Leslie Stirling, Audrey Deveau, Marla Hajmerle and Val Williams.

Cindy Leibel and Leslie Stirling won prizes for KP in 2. The usual and unusual suspects went into the gully on Hole 7.

Now…if you are one of those readers that only reads the first and last paragraph in an article please go back and read the third paragraph. And yes, I left all the sponsors’ names out this week but stay tuned. They will be back next week. Here is a recap of the information for our first fun night, a four lady scramble to be held on July 9, with a shot gun start at 5:30 p.m. Cost is $45 and includes golf, cart, dinner and prizes. The theme for the evening is “Tacky Tourist”. I think I have my costume picked out thanks to the ladies at the Barriere Annex. What are you going to wear?

VOICES

50 years in powder paradise

By Jaime Polmateer

Mike Wiegele Heli-Skiing (MWHS) is marking 50 years of business this winter and in the half-century the company’s offered its services, operations have come a long way.

In the late 1960s when it all began, Wiegele walked the mountains, scouting terrain in the Cariboos, looking for the right location to open shop.

“I walked into the Cariboos from Valemount with Hans Gmoser, founder of Canadian Mountain Holidays, and came back every year to explore it; I went from one range to another on foot, because I didn’t have any money,” said Wiegele.

“In 1970, I took my first test flight to Mt. Sir Wilfred Laurier and Canoe Glacier, with a Bell 47 helicopter—Gary Foreman, owner of Yellowhead Helicopters, was the pilot.”

He added he wanted to start a ski operation because he was younger, on his own, didn’t have liabilities, and perhaps most obvious—he loved skiing.

He had a big desire to spend time in the mountains and skiing was his main focus.

“When I did go to the mountains in the summertime, and if there was a white spot on the mountain, I would do everything to get to that spot,” noted Wiegele.

“I didn’t owe anybody and I wanted to build my own existence and business—and I also wanted to have fun and enjoy the sport.”

Hannes Schroll, Austrian ski racer and founder of Sugar Bowl Ski Resort in California, met with Wiegele one day while he was working with Junior Bounous, a pioneer of the American ski industry and instructor at Sugar Bowl, as one of his instructors.

He asked Wiegele who he was and where he lived.

“I said, ‘Canada.’ He said, ‘What the hell are you doing here?’ He was a big guy and I stood up straight. I said, ‘I’m a pro here,’” explained Wiegele. “’When you go back to Canada, find yourself a mountain with the best snow and build yourself a resort.’ So that’s what I did.”

His wife Bonnie ran a ski shop in Banff and Wiegele used money from the shop to make promotional materials for his new business and shortly after the pair moved to Blue River, which at the time was a much smaller community than what it is today.

It was here Wiegele would make the acquaintance of a forestry worker named Carman Smith and begin a friendship that would last the rest of their lives.

“Mike came to Blue River and he had this vision, and I’d done a lot of backcountry skiing and what not, but at that time we couldn’t afford to take a helicopter up the hill; we’d never even though of it. Then Mike comes along and has this little bubble helicopter and we thought holy crow, what’s going on here,” said Smith with a laugh.

“We’d never even dreamed that was possible, but Mike had this vision and he stuck with it and made a very successful endeavor for Blue River and everybody else who skied with him.”

Smith added Wiegele’s contributions to the North Thompson Valley have been many, encouraging people to ski as well as training and employing a lot of residents throughout the years.

The heli-skiing operation also provides opportunities for local

youth who otherwise wouldn’t have such an outlet for recreation.

“It’s opened up a new world for a lot of these kids and a lot of these kids have stuck it out and become guides,” said Smith.

“I think he’s really done a lot for the Valley. He put it on the map. You ask around the world where it is and they know.”

A recession during the 1980s made business a bit rough, and though operations in Blue River started out quite small, they were still seeing hundreds of guests a week.

In 1981 there were seven guides, two office workers, one person in charge of the sport shop and a housekeeper employed by MWHS. The foundation for the lodge was laid in 1980, but the building wasn’t finished until 1987 and in 1988 the main guest lodge opened its doors.

Also in the late ’80s, Wiegele founded the Canadian Ski Guide Association to train ski guides for the mechanized ski industry, which is one of the many undertakings that garnered him a recent honourary doctorate from Thompson Rivers University.

As for why Blue River was his area of choice, he simply did his research and realized it had the best snow. Wiegele spoke with Blue River’s loggers, railroad workers and other old-timers and the word was, “When it snows here the snowflakes fall down big and straight.”

Blue River local Molly Nelson also offered him 34 years of detailed weather information from the area showcasing the snow records.

“I followed my nose; I was looking for a place with less wind than in Valemount, as

Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing is heading into its 50th season, and according to Wiegele, as long as the mountains have snow there’ll be no end in sight for those looking to ski at his resort. Photo submitted wind is devastating to powder snow,” said Wiegele.

Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to develop such an operation before consulting with the local First Nations people.

Nathan Matthew, former Chief of the Simpcw First Nation, said he’s known Wiegele for years and always had a sense they were dealing with a respectful, and humble, businessman.

“Whenever there was a development within the territory the developer had to consult with us just to let us know what was happening so we could talk about our concerns and have a First Nation voice in the planning, especially for concerns we had with the environment,” said Matthew.

“We began a very cordial relationship and what struck me was he was so respectful about the Simpcw First Nation and our culture, and was really quite open to listening to suggestions and explaining

what he was doing, and really finding out more about who we were because we didn’t really have any village up that way, not many of our people lived there.”

Matthew said Wiegele shared a similar philosophy in keeping the environment healthy and not causing a disturbance to nearby plants and animals, noting Wiegele had a special respect for the caribou as well as the salmon in the river near the resort.

“Any suggestions we had with environmental issues, he was always already there with his professional planners working on those issues specifically,” said Matthew.

“When he was able to share his plans, he was already putting it out in a fashion we thought was pretty good in terms of looking at our interests. He’s just a great guy, has a sense of humour and I don’t think I ever heard him say a cross word.”

The location now offers a

luxury resort with 22 chalets, two off-site luxury estates, The Lodge which offers fivestar dining and Silver Buckle Lounge, a boutique, fitness and spa area, a Guides House, Sports Shop, as well as the private Albreda Lodge – 45 km north of Blue River, which has 17 rooms and an additional two bedroom luxury suite.

In the winter season the site employs about 200 people in the town of Blue River, which has 260 year-round residents.

For the 50th anniversary season, MWHS will be putting out a short documentary this fall telling Wiegele’s story.

The movie will be entered into some film festivals and also shown during the season at the resort.

As for the future of the MWHS, “We have the assurance of huge mountain ranges—the Cariboo, Monashee and the Rockies—as long as we have snow in abundance, and we have that, these elements will provide a strong future.”

A photographic discussion by creating a visual contradiction Photographer Jo McAvany’s loose goal was to create a visual contradiction (artists might call it a “juxtaposition”) that discussed a time when early photographers wandered cities documenting scenes of urban life for weekly newspapers and the modern era for women that gained momentum in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Jo wanted that look one might see newspaper reporters/photographers wearing in those early black and white movies. The fedora, a pinstriped shirt with rolled up sleeves, suspenders and an early 1940s 35mm film camera.

She came up with the white swimsuits after seeing a picture of Hugh Heffner surrounded by Playboy

magazine playmates.

When she sent me the picture my comment was “the robe?” She said, “no your Heff look.” I wasn’t sure about that, but I did like her idea about the 50s.

She chose to have women wearing white swimsuits to represent the modern era that was propelled, or at least gained momentum in the late 1950s, in part, do to Heffner’s magazine.

Jo put the call out and immediately had 14 or 15 replies.

We had eleven at 9 a.m. on the day of our shoot. I had no doubt that Jo could control and pose all those women. For my part, all I had to do was stand there, as a prop for them to pose against.

My main concern was the lighting. As

regular readers know, I don’t much like flat, uncontrollable natural light. I brought two speedlights on stands with 40 inch umbrellas and asked my friend Drew Vye to assist with the lights when I was detained as a model. The biggest problem was the bright morning light and clear blue sky. I quickly realized the speedlights weren’t powerful enough to balance that painful light at the first location. Drew, Jo and I started wandering, and after yelling back and forth down the sidewalk we chose the middle of the street location.

We would need to move when some car came through, but it was early and during the two hours we were there only one car angrily honked. Most drivers were amused to see all the attractive women in swimsuits and drove by smiling and waving.

The changing light from there wasn’t that much of a problem.

Drew and I just kept

moving the lights so there wouldn’t be ugly shadows and Jo’s subjects had depth and were separated from the background.

The street location couldn’t have been a better place to show the city. And when Jo used the 70-200mm the perspective was excellent.

I know the women all had fun. We even had them pose in

Fall Fair holding 50/50 raffle fundraiser

By Jill Hayward

“Members of the North Thompson Fall Fair & Rodeo Association are now out and about with books of 50/50 raffle tickets for our annual fundraiser,” says NTFFRA director Jane Milburn.

She notes last year’s lucky 50/50 Raffle winner was Willy Matthew. Matthew took home a cheque for $5000, and Milburn says the goal for this year is to once again sell all the tickets printed.

“The way the tickets are going, the chances of selling out are very good,” says Milburn, “With only 2,000

tickets printed the odds are good for the ticket holder and the cost of $5 per ticket is affordable.”

She notes that last year Matthew purchased his lucky ticket from a volunteer ticket seller in front of the mall where Armour Mountain Office Services and Sweetams Nik Naks are situated on Barriere Town Road.

“We will be there again this year on June 28,” said Milburn, “Tickets are also on sale from many of our NTFFRA members, and also in the Bear Lane Bistro, Barriere Country Feeds, Sam’s Pizza & Rib House,

Mane Street Hair Salon, Barriere Timber Mart, Armour Mountain Office Services, the District of Barriere office, Barriere and Area Chamber of Commerce, Rainer’s Custom Cutting in Darfield, and Jim’s Food Market in Little Fort.”

She also notes tickets are available in Kamloops at The Horse Barn and Purity Feeds.

Milburn says, “We hold this annual raffle to raise funds so we can put the money into improving our fairgrounds facility, which benefits all of the users and also the community at large.”

As I stood in the street holding that old camera I thought about a press photographer from New York’s 1940s named

Weegee, known for his stark, black and white urban life photography and hoped we could capture some of that feeling.

A photographer can make all kinds of statements. Jo’s visual discussion is about the changing times we live in and, in my opinion, how photographers have been playing an important role documenting those changes.

These are my thoughts for this week. Contact me at www.enmanscamera.com or emcam@ telus.net. Stop by Enman’s Camera at 423 Tranquille Road in Kamloops. I sell an interesting selection of used photographic equipment. Don’t hesitate to call me at 250-371-3069.

Not everyone is on board with your new plan, Libra.

CRABTREE, Barbara (nee Kinloch)

After a brief illness at the end of a long disease, Barbara Crabtree (nee Kinloch) passed away on the 6th of May at the age of 72 years, in Calgary.

Barbe’s first home was Darfield, and she went from the Interior to the Coast, finally settling in the Prairies. From BC Forestry to the Bank of Montreal, she worked almost every job imaginable; collecting knowledge, stories and friends at every turn.

Quick to smile, and quick to laugh, Barbara will be most remembered for her positive outlook and her love of (and way with) words and animals.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Belva; grandson Hudson; brother Sandy; brother-in-law Pat Ganley; sisters-in-law Judy and Sharon; nieces Dardie, Josephine and Penny; nephews Jay, Tony and Michael; as well as much-beloved cousins from both here and away.

She was predeceased by her parents Betty and Graham, brother Mick, and sister Pidge.

Barbara hoped that her loved ones would celebrate her life in their own way, but for those of you who wish to gather, a Celebration of Barbe’s Life will take place at Darfield Hall on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 1:30 p.m.
