Enhanced safety measures and additional resources will enable most students in grades K-12 to return to school on Sept. 8, 2020, with full-time in-class learning as the province moves to Stage 2 of B.C.’s Education Restart Plan. “The classroom is an essential part of a child’s social, academic and mental development, and that’s why we are working hard to ensure students can safely spend the next school year with their teachers and classmates,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Education. “We were the only jurisdiction in Canada that brought students back into the classroom provincewide before the end of the school year and this has given us valuable information that we are using to develop our plans, ensuring health and safety at schools remain paramount.” On the advice of the provincial health officer, students will be organized into learning groups, a consistent group of staff and students. This will reduce the number of people each student or staff member will come into contact with, reducing the risk of transmission and ensuring quicker contact tracing by health authorities. All boards of education and independent school authorities will continue
to be required to implement a suite of health and safety measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, following the recently updated guidelines from the BC Centre for Disease Control. "We know how important it is for children to be back in school – to both support their emotional and mental health and their ability to socialize and to learn,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s
Families will hear from their school district or independent school throughout the summer with updated health and safety guidelines for elementary, middle and secondary schools, as well as learning groups, schedules, enrolment and registration information with the final details being submitted to the ministry and posted online by the districts on Aug. 26, 2020. provincial health officer. “Being back in school is also crucial to support many parents in being able to work, but we must do it safely. We ask for families and workplaces to continue to be flexible as we come into the fall. We’ve put a lot of thoughtful work and consideration into reopening schools this fall and in making sure we’re supporting children in ways that keep them, the people who teach them and our communities safe.”

To support and ensure the health and safety of students and staff during this pandemic, a one-time investment of $45.6 million as part of the BC COVID-19 Action Plan will support school districts and independent schools for the start of the school year. This investment will ensure the increased cleaning of high-contact surfaces, increased number of hand-hygiene stations and the availability of masks

upon request, among other safety measures. Staff and students (or their parents/ guardians) must also assess themselves daily for symptoms of COVID-19. If any student or staff member has even mild symptoms, arrangements will be made for that person to return home. The ministry is developing operational guidelines that will further assist school districts and independent schools with their planning for Septem-

ber. An education steering committee including teachers, parents, Indigenous rightsholders, support staff, principals and vice-principals, school trustees and the public health sector has also been established to identify best practices and find solutions to potential issues. “B.C. will continue to keep a strong focus on science-based decisions as we learn to adjust the delivery of education during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Stephanie Higginson, president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. “Boards of education across the province will utilize updated health and safety measures, created on the advice of the provincial health officer, to ensure that students can continue to receive the social, emotional and academic supports provided by their community school during this critical time in education.” “The safety of students and staff is paramount and government will continue to make science-based decisions, following the expert advice of Dr. Henry and her public health team,” Fleming said.

Technology: A Metaphor into the Future
In the beginning there was only esoteric binary code. Then a simple evolutionary step forward to readable character text transformed human accessibility to the digital world. In today’s era of the ubiquitous Internet, smart devices and social media, the way we actually connect with our digital world seems to be obvious to a general population that has grown up with it as a “natural” extension of human communications. To a young child, the computer itself has become largely invisible. Now a seven year old girl offers me advice on how to organize my phone display. And I listen. Some historical perspective is in order. In 1963 Bill English and Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California invented the “mouse” and mouse-driven cursor as a computer interface to select text for word processing. In 1971 English moved to Xerox’s famous PARC research centre, followed by several other SRI people, where in 1973 the Alto became the first computer to use a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) with windows. In 1979 at Apple, former Xerox PARC people continued to develop these ideas for Apple’s Lisa and Macintosh personal computers. In 1980 Microsoft had a contract with IBM to develop an operating system for IBM's first personal computer. A year later Microsoft bought the rights for 86-DOS from Seattle Software Products based on CP/M, the most common micro operating system at the time, without telling SCP about the contract with IBM. (SCP later agreed to a $M settlement with Microsoft.) Development of 86-DOS led to MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer was then released with MS-DOS as the operating system. In 1981, working as a programmer and computer training coordinator at Amoco Canada Petroleum in Calgary, I was asked to recommend a desktop system as a potential new standard for the company. The ongoing GUI development at Apple did not figure prominently in my analysis. There was a tendency in some circles at the time to dismiss graphics as something for the artistic crowd rather than for hard core

business applications; on the other hand, “nobody ever got fired for recommending IBM”. In 1983 the Apple Lisa featured a graphical interface. The Macintosh, released in 1984 was the first commercially successful product to use a window interface. Microsoft Windows 1.0, a GUI for the MSDOS operating system, was released in 1985. Meanwhile, since 1969-1970, the Unix operating system developed at AT&T Bell Labs was eventually ported to a wide variety of hardware platforms. The windowing system in the Unix world, the X Window System, released in the mid-1980s, was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Due to a free open source license for X, it became the standard graphical interface for virtually all Unix, Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, with the exception of macOS and Android. We’re at critical mass now with rapid advances in other digital interfaces to mark a new turning point in human-computer communications. In recent years, voice recognition and voice synthesis, natural language translation and autonomous robotic control have exploded on the digital scene. The underlying technologies for these profound advances have shifted - from programming computers with rigid and often imperfect rules – to focus on training computer networks that can adapt to new information by learning. Where will the new technologies take us? This question makes many people nervous. Predicting the future is always a roll of the dice, so I can’t answer that with any certainty, but I’m not particularly worried. As a computer scientist, I see wonderful opportunities ahead; as an amateur student of human nature, I see a coin toss on our chances for survival. Either way, our future depends on our ability to adapt to tidal waves of change. Business as usual is not an option. Wayne Cunneyworth Cherryville, BC P.S.: Wayne wrote his first computer program in high school in January, 1969 for an IBM 360 model 30. Unfortunately, from that point on through his life, he learned very little that was useful and not related to computers.

SENIORS’ CORNER Personal Testimonial
Truth
My quotes are taken from the authorized King James bible which was released to the Public in 611 A.D. This is the year 2020 A.D. A.D. is taken from “anno domini nostri Jesu Christi” which translates to “in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The years before A.D. are known as B.C., which means before Christ. Reference wikipedia and others. I’ve had some visitations over past few years by sincere people representing a particular religion. I love these people and appreciate their sincerity. I asked them if I joined their religion if I would go to heaven. They said, “no” that was reserved for 144,000 which was fulfilled some time ago .Then I asked if their religion would keep me from going to hell, and they said there is no hell. So their religion has 144,000 in heaven and no hell. So what does it do for me then? They said, “If I believe God’s name is Jehovah something good might happen to me when I die! Talk about taking a chance. I want to know now. I’ve known for 45 years that one of god’s names is Jehovah. He has many names. He is called Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Revelation 1:8. He is called the Word, John 1:1 says in the beginning was the ‘word’ and the Word was god. God told Moses his name is ‘ I am’ Exodus 3:14. But what does it benefit me if I know one of god’s names or all of the them? That religion tells me that it would please god if I only know one of god’s and that name is above all other names! They are also taught that they are to be slaves, to the watchtower society and to use theocratic war strategy which is lying to promote their religion. Well, needless to say, I won’t be joining that religion even though the people are nice and caring. What happens to the people who join that religion when they die? Nothing. So their religion has nothing to offer me now and nothing to offer me when I die. So their religion is worth...Nothing. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by him, John 14:6. Love Ed Watson 547-1484

Seniors Rock
Several weeks ago, Whitevalley Community Resource Centre offered many community senior citizens an artistic challenge. Participating seniors were gifted a bag of rocks, a selection of paints in all the colours of the rainbow and, of course, brushes. They were given two weeks to create original works of art by painting the rocks. On July 29th the amazing rock creations were set outside on display at Saddle Mountain. It was evident that much thought and time went into each entry and the showcase of talent was enjoyed by all. The spectators even had the chance to vote for their favourites.

This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby just over 8 years,you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.
Quietly Watching Me The other day I Took Kal Lake Road home instead of using Hwy. 6. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the Osprey. I got some great shots as she sat in her nest, and every once in a while, a little head would pop out beside her. The male was not too far away sitting on the post close to the nest. It was a great day , with awesome shots. I walked under the bridge, and started to walk near the creek, I felt something watching me, I looked across the water, there he was sitting on a log just quietly watching me. So, of course I took his picture. What a beautiful duck. Not too far from him his family were sitting and playing in the water. Neither him or his little family seemed to feel threatened by me, as they didn't move or fly away when they saw me. I came home and looked him up as I haven't seen this one before. He has a greenish, yellow flat bill like a shovel with a black mark on the tip. His feet are webbed and bright orange. His head was kind of grayish brown, his body was colored with different types of brown. The female is not as dim in her coloring as most female ducks and birds, she actually looks

very close in coloring to the male. This duck is called a Mottled Duck. The Mottled Duck is a part of the Dabbling Family. Related to the Mallards, Mexican Ducks, and Black Ducks which tend to be in larger flocks at times, the Mottled Duck is likely to be seen traveling with his mate, and or family, or just a small group. These Dabbling Ducks will find their mates earlier than other ducks. Well before the breeding season has started these ducks have already found their partners. Alot of times when the female of other Dabbling Ducks lays her eggs the pair will split up. With the Mottled Duck the male will remain with his mate during the incubation time, and often tends to stay even longer. Both the male and female will look for a place to nest together, the female will find where to build the nest by the water, sometimes by the base of a shrub. They will only have one brood per year. They will have 8 - 12 eggs. 2.1 -2.4 inches for the length. The width of the eggs would be about 1.6 -1.8 inches. The egg colors are a dull white color to almost an olive look. The eggs are incubated for about 25-26 days.
When hatched the young ducklings have down all over them, and they can leave the nest shortly after being hatched. On record the oldest known duck was about 13 years, and 7 months old when he had been shot in Florida, this was also the same place where he had been banded years earlier.

Category 2 and category 3 fire prohibitions to start in Kamloops Fire Centre
KAMLOOPS — Effective at 12:00 pm (noon) on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, Category 2 and Category 3 open fires, as well as other equipment and activities will be prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre. This prohibition is being enacted to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. This prohibition will remain in effect until noon on Oct. 15, 2020, or until the order is rescinded. Anyone conducting Category 2 or Category 3 open fires within the Kamloops Fire Centre’s jurisdiction must extinguish those fires by the July 29 deadline. A map of the affected area is available online at: http://ow.ly/ADmB30r0u3j This prohibition does not prohibit campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Specifically, prohibited activities will include: • Category 2 open fires; • Category 3 open fires;
• the use of fireworks; • the use of sky lanterns; • the use of binary exploding targets and • the use of burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description except when used for a campfire as defined by the wildfire regulation. These prohibitions apply to all public and private land within the Kamloops Fire Centre jurisdiction, unless specified otherwise in an enactment (e.g. in a local government bylaw). Before lighting any fire, people should check with local government authorities to see if any other burning restrictions are in effect. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The Kamloops Fire Centre would like to thank the public for its continuing help in preventing wildfires. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 6635555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone. For up-to-date information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, call 1 888 3-FOREST or visit: www.bcwildfire.ca

Back to School, from page 1
acclimatize to new safety protocols and ensuring the Province has important information to plan for the 2020-21 school year. The Ministry of Education has developed a fivestage approach to operate schools, depending on risk of transmission and direction from health authorities, ensuring school districts can make a quick transition if there is a second wave or a community outbreak. Schools were in Stage 3 in June 2020, with most kids in the classroom part-time. Under enhanced safety protocols, the Province is now moving to Stage 2 of the education plan. To support and ensure the health and safety of students and staff during this pandemic, a onetime investment of $45.6 million as part of the BC COVID-19 Action Plan will support school districts and independent schools for the start of the school year. This investment includes $23 million for more staff and staff time for cleaning schools, $9.2 million for improving and increasing access to hand hygiene and $5.1 million for cleaning supplies and $3.1 million to independent schools. There will be $2.2 million to ensure reuseable face masks are available to staff if they choose to wear one, and for all students who need to travel on school buses or public transportation outside of their learning group. This funding also includes $3 million to support remote learning, such as technology loans or software to support students with disabilities or complex needs. More updated health and safety measures include: • Increased cleaning of high-contact surfaces like

door knobs, keyboards, desks and chairs; increased hand hygiene with all students, staff and visitors being required to clean their hands before boarding school buses and entering school buildings, before and after eating, using the washroom and using playground equipment. • School districts may also install transparent barriers for people who have more contact with others, such as front desk staff, bus drivers or food services staff, where appropriate. • Older students and staff may use masks in situations where the person is interacting outside their learning group and cannot maintain physical distance for an extended period of time. This includes riding the bus to school where a student may be sitting next to a person outside of their household or learning group. These masks will be available upon request. • If students or staff are mixing outside their learning group for electives, extracurricular activities, sports or social clubs, they will need to maintain physical distancing of two metres, while younger students will be encouraged to minimize physical contact. • If space is available, students should have their own seat or sit with family members on school buses. • Extracurricular activities in middle and secondary schools, including sports, arts or special interest clubs can occur if physical distance can be maintained between members of different learning groups and reduced physical contact can be practised by those within the same learning group. • All students and staff who have travelled outside of Canada are required to self-isolate for 14 days under both provincial and federal orders. This includes students who are attending school from abroad. Learning groups To get the most students back in full-time inclass instruction in September, the Office of the Provincial Health Officer recommended creating cohorts (learning groups) to reduce the number of close, in-person interactions. Learning groups are groups of students and staff who remain together throughout the school year and who primarily interact with each other. Cohorts (learning groups) will be no more than 60 people in elementary and middle school and no more than 120 people in secondary school. It will not be necessary for students in a learning group to all be in the same class, but they will be able to interact and connect with each other as a consistent group during breaks, in common areas like the gym, library, or at the playground. Limiting the number of people each student or staff member comes into contact with will reduce the risk of transmission and will ensure quicker contact tracking. Learning groups are smallest in elementary and middle schools because it is more challenging for younger students to maintain physical distance. Older students are better able to minimize phys-
ical contact, practice hand hygiene and recognize if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Each school district and independent school authority will plan for their local needs based on their school populations and classroom space available. Elementary schools • Elementary schools will remain organized into classrooms as students’ primary learning environment. • Most elementary schools in the province can return to full-time in-class instruction with minimal modifications to school bell schedules and timetables. Middle schools • Middle schools that follow an elementary school model (for instance, one classroom with one teacher) will be organized like elementary schools, with minimal modifications to school bell schedules and timetables. • Middle schools that follow a “junior high” model, where students move from class-to-class and take a range of subjects taught by different teachers, may need to be reorganized for fulltime, in-class learning. Secondary schools Secondary school students will continue to be organized in classrooms, ensuring students still have access to electives and they will be able to reconfigure their learning group for each new semester. Some schools may reorganize how they offer courses, such as allowing students to take two courses at a time every 10 weeks. Small secondary schools • There are 96 public secondary schools and 49 independent schools that have fewer than 800 students. These schools will likely require only minor modifications to their bell schedules or timetables to ensure a safe, full-time return to the classroom for all students. • Medium-sized secondary schools • There are 104 public secondary schools and one independent school with between 800 and 1,500 students. They will need to consider modifications to their bell schedules and timetables to accommodate students in the classroom full-time. • Large secondary schools • There are 16 public secondary schools with between 1,500 and 2,000 students, located primarily in the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan. • For these larger secondary schools, school districts are looking at a variety of options to maximize in-class learning and, in rare cases, may need to offer a hybrid approach with a blend of remote online and self-directed learning. • Students with disabilities, those who need extra support in school and children of essential service workers will continue to receive full-time, in-class learning.

LOCAL & REGIONAL NEWS
CRMC Update - Richlands Forest Block Submitted by Joyce Fleury, President, CRMC On July 22 a delegation of Cherry Ridge Management Committee directors attended a Regional District meeting to address a local Cherryville issue that has been a hot topic of conversation through the first half of this tumultuous year. The purpose of this delegation was to seek regional government support for a proposal regarding a Richlands forest block of eight Crown Land lots (73.36 acres total), bounded by Mitchell and Puckett Roads, currently under consideration in Tolko’s harvesting plans. Overwhelming concern has been expressed in Cherryville that the Tolko plan is not a favourable fit for the lots.
CRMC proposes to purchase these Crown lots for ownership on behalf of the Cherryville community, to be managed by CRMC strictly for forest health, as a long term natural and cultural resource for Cherryville residents. Ultimately this must be negotiated at a provincial level, but a letter of support from the Regional District will add favourable impetus to negotiations. The delegation’s request for a letter of support was well received and a vote regarding the letter will be the first item on the August RDNO agenda. In the meantime, preparations are now under way for further CRMC meetings at the provincial level.
