Nosey newbornNorth Thompson ranchers are busy calving cows at this time of year, with stockmen and women getting little sleep while they oversee the mommas safely through the birthing process. Thanks to the mild dry weather expe-rienced during the past month, severe drops in temperature have not been a factor in keeping the newborns healthy.

Simpcw First Nation is negotiat-ing a bene� ts agreement with Yel-lowhead Mining for its proposed Harper Creek copper mine, accord-ing to Chief Rita Matthew.

Once the terms have been � nal-ized it will be brought to the band’s members to be rati� ed in a referen-dum.

The chief expected the referen-dum to be held sometime within the next few months.

Matthew was one of about 90 residents of the North Thompson Valley who took part in an informa-tion session held Feb. 24 in Clear-water’s new Dutch Lake Commu-nity Centre.

The information session was part of the environmental assessment be-ing done for the proposed mine.

The band’s � rst priority is to pro-tect the environment, the chief said.

Other objectives include getting revenue to invest in their commu-nity and in the North Thompson Valley.

The band is also interested in training opportunities and jobs for its members.

“Simpcw First Nation is not tak-ing a position until all the data is in,” Matthew said.

Following last summer’s spill at Mt. Polley, the tailings pond facil-ity for the proposed Harper Creek mine was of interest to many.

Rocks with the potential to cre-ate acid rock drainage will be put under water in the tailings facility to keep them from oxidizing, said Daniel Fontaine, an engineer with Knight Piésold Ltd.

The facility will be created by an earth� ll/rock� ll dam constructed

across a valley near the mine site.Over the nearly 30-year project-

ed lifespan of the mine the dam will gradually rise to a height of 175 m (about 575 feet) and 400 m wide at the base.

This height is not beyond prec-edent in the industry, Fontaine said.

The dam will be constructed out of material taken from the open pit mine. The top of the dam will always be at least 50 m wide at the crest, and will have a stable 2H:1V downstream slope.

According to Yellowhead Min-ing, Harper Creek is a proposed 70,000 tonnes-per-day open pit copper mine with a 28-year mine life.

It would be located about 10 km southwest of Vavenby.

Harper Creek has a four year de-velopment period, with the initial

two years focused on environmental and construction permitting, and the second two years dedicated to construction.

When developed, Harper Creek would provide up to 660 jobs dur-ing construction and up to 450 per-manent jobs during operations.

The proposed mine is presently in an environmental review by the federal and provincial governments.

A public comment period started on Feb. 19 and will last until March 21. A � nal federal public comment period will be advertised at a later date.

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and B.C.’s En-vironmental Assessment Of� ce will consider the public comments re-ceived, as well as the information in the company’s application, in pre-paring their environmental assess-ment reports.

By Dale BassKamloops This Week

If Premier Christy Clark is looking for ways for school dis-tricts to cut more costs, Kelvin Stretch has a suggestion.

The secretary-treasurer of the Ka-mloops-Thompson school district would like to see the Ministry of Education review each district separate-ly and identify those that could do more and those that have already made many hard � nancial deci-sions.

“We’ve closed schools,” Stretch said. “There are districts out there that haven’t closed any schools.”

During the bud-get speech earlier this month, the B.C. Liberal government included a mandate that all school districts � nd ways to, collec-tively, cut $29 million from administration and related services in the 2015-2016 school year and another $25 million the following year.

Stretch said other than the general state-ment, no speci� cs have been given to districts about how the re-quirement will affect them. He said he’s ex-pecting to learn more on March 12, when

the government will release preliminary funding information for the coming school year.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said last week he hasn’t looked at imposing speci� c dollar-� gure savings on each dis-trict.

He said they could come in many ways; one district, for exam-ple, identi� ed a $7,000 saving by changing the way it processed its payroll, while other neighbouring districts have found savings by working together on projects.

Fassbender noted the savings amount to one-half of one per cent of the $5.4-bil-lion education budget.

Board of educa-tion vice-chairwoman Meghan Wade said any more cuts to the budget would be dif-� cult.

“We have always been a � nancially pru-dent district, and we have always kept as much of our money as we can in the class-room,” Wade said.

“We have always put our students � rst.”

The B.C. School Trustees Association (BCSTA) has spoken out against the gov-ernment action, decry-ing the fact any money saved will not remain within the public-education system, but removed from it.

The BSCTA said boards across the province will face � -nancial shortfalls with the upcoming mon-etary announcement because, while money has been added to the education budget,

most of it will go to-ward paying the cost imposed on boards through recent bar-gaining with unions representing teachers and support staff.

“It is clear the new provincial education budget will mean fur-ther cuts in school districts across the province,” said BC-STA president Teresa Rezansoff.

“The money allo-cated in the 2015-2016 provincial budget for public education simply will not cover our increasing costs — and now we are seeing millions of dol-lars taken away from school districts for other uses.”

Stretch said one approach School Dis-trict 73 has taken in identifying potential cuts to the budget is to not do them in isolation, but “sit as a management group and look at the whole district.”

That has helped administrators, for ex-ample, identify cuts in one department that really just shift the work to another, not really accomplishing much on the bottom line.

“We’ve had bet-ter discussions on the challenges,” Stretch said.

The strategy has brought the district praise, he said, with visitors commenting on how the district seems to be together.

“We’re all working in the same direction,” he said.

“We’re blessed with that because it’s been very ef� cient and ef-fective.”

Last year ICBC contributed $46,700 towards shoulder widening, in-stalling barriers, pavement markings and treatments, as well as improved drainage from Little Fort to Blackwater Road in Blackpool.

According to the provincial insurance corporation, it also invested $30,600 to install shoulder and centreline rumble strips along the same section of Highway 5 in 2014.

“For the past quarter-century, ICBC and the B.C. government have been making roads safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians through the road improvement program,” said Terry Lake, MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson. “These new initiatives in Little Fort are examples of our ongo-ing commitment to save lives.”

This year marks the 25th anniversary if ICBC’s road improvement pro-gram, with over $130 million invested in B.C. roads since 1990.

In 2014, ICBC invested approximately $2 million in the Southern In-terior and $7.7 million in projects and safety audits across the province.

“Whether it’s through improved signage, rumble strips or pedestrian countdown timers, ICBC’s road improvement program is making roads safer for drivers and pedestrians,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transpor-tation and MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson.

Highway to Little Fort gets improvements

Government unmoved by hunter protestBy Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Hundreds of hunters, some wearing camou� age and blowing duck calls, gathered at the B.C. legislature Monday to protest the share of big-game hunting permits set aside for guide-out� t-ters and their out-of-province clients.

About 300 hunters and supporters at-tended the rally, bringing petitions with thousands of names to present in the leg-islature.

The largest petition called for a limit of 10 per cent share of moose and elk allo-cated for non-resident hunters, and 15 per cent for mountain goats and grizzly bears, prized by trophy hunters.

It was the latest of a series of protests that began in December when the govern-ment announced an increase of limited-entry hunting opportunities for guide-out-� tters.

Sean Richardson, president of the Oceola Fish and Game Club in the Okana-gan, said with the resurgence of hunting popularity in B.C., the government is mov-ing in the wrong direction by increasing commercialization of wildlife harvesting.

“We need to stop managing a diminish-ing resource through social management, and we need to start working towards mak-ing more wildlife,” Richardson said.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said he

understands the principle behind the ongo-ing protest, but the latest allocation deci-sion was made after 10 years of discussions with resident hunters and guide-out� tters, and he is not prepared to change it again.

When the plan was announced in De-cember, the government estimated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in lim-ited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide out� tters. After resident hunters and the B.C. Wildlife Federation object-ed, Forests Minister Steve Thomson an-nounced in February that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-out-� tters. But the protests have continued.

B.C. hunters are concerned that the share reserved for guide-out� tters is higher than anywhere else in North America.

Under the latest policy for limited-entry hunts, that share is 20 per cent for elk, 20 or 25 per cent for moose depending on the restricted region, 35 per cent for mountain goat, and 40 per cent for grizzly bears.

Open season areas for moose and other animals remain in the southern Interior and northeast, where anyone can buy a li-cense and tag to hunt.

Abundant species such as mule deer, whitetail deer and black bear have no hunt-ing quotas in any part of B.C.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver in-troduced legislation Monday that would require non-resident hunters to pack out the edible parts of grizzly

bears they shoot in B.C. Trophy hunters should be subject to the

same “eat what you kill” rules as resident hunters already face, he said.

Editor ia l ; B.C. Views with Tom Fletcher

In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, � nding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed brie� y in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Mon-treal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year pro-gram owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for � nancial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the pro-vincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more dif� cult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driv-ing privileges to collect unpaid provincial court � nes, and that was recently ex-tended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-second-ary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided uni-versity professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in tem-porary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to com-plain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

B.C.’s Water Sustainability Act to protect precious resource

The North Thompson Star/Journal is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documen-tation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, P.O. Box 1356, Ladysmith, B.C., V9G 1A9. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

To the editor;When it comes into force next year, Brit-

ish Columbia’s new Water Sustainability Act (WSA) will ensure our water is properly regu-lated, protected and conserved for future gen-erations. It will do this by, among other things, regulating groundwater for the � rst time, knowing how much water is being used and ensuring our streams and waterways remain healthy. And in times of drought, the new law allows government to step in to ensure water is � rst used to preserve human life and food production.

Implementing the new WSA comes with a price. New staff will be hired and new systems

will be developed to bring B.C.’s water law into the 21st century. To pay for these costs we’ve recently amended the water fees and rentals that water users pay. The new fee structure will cover the costs of implementing the new WSA, and not a penny more.

Through our public consultation process, which began in 2009 and is among the most thorough consultations government has ever undertaken, people were very clear that they did not want government treating such an es-sential resource like a commodity to make a pro� t from. British Columbia has never made of pro� t from water and we’re not about to

Use of payphones in Canada decreasing

Submitted

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecom-munications Commission (CRTC) to released the results of its fact-� nding process on the role of payphones in the Canadian communications system on Feb. 26.

The report, Results of the fact-� nding pro-cess on the role of payphones in the Canadian communications system, clearly shows that the use of payphones by Canadians is decreasing steadily. Compared to 2004, when 50 per cent of Canadians reported occasionally using these ser-vices, today only 32 per cent of Canadians report having used a payphone at least once over the course of the year.

However, CRTC says they recognize that pay-phones are important in society because of their accessibility, their one-time per-use cost and un-limited time for local and toll-free calls.

To protect the public interest, the CRTC is proposing that all incumbent telephone compa-nies be obligated to notify communities affected, including municipalities and First Nations, be-fore removing the last public telephone.

Companies would also have to notify commu-nities before removing a public telephone where wireless service is not available.

Canadians living in rural and urban commu-nities would have the opportunity to give their

opinions to local authorities regarding the re-moval of certain payphones.

Furthermore, the CRTC says they want to en-sure that the notices regarding charges for calls made by credit card, telephone card or another non-cash method are suf� ciently clear.

The CRTC is inviting Canadians to submit their comments on these issues by March 30, 2015, and they encourage Canadians to partici-pate by:

• Completing the online form;• Writing to the Secretary General, CRTC,

Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N2;• Sending a fax to 1-819-994-0218.“Although payphones are no longer used as

much as in the past, they continue to play an important role in society and serve the public interest,” states Jean-Pierre Blais, Chairman of the CRTC, “For this reason, we want to make sure that Canadians are noti� ed when certain payphones are removed in their communities, and that they have the opportunity to share their concerns with local authorities. These authori-ties will be empowered to respond to the needs of their communities.”

In 2013, the CRTC imposed a moratorium preventing large telephone companies from re-moving the last payphone in a community.

The moratorium will be maintained until the CRTC has made its decision.

Before removing the last public telephone CRTC proposes affected communities must be noti� ed

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecom-

start. The fees we’re charging will cover the additional costs incurred by having modern legislation. However it is the new tools within the legis-lation itself that will allow us to conserve, preserve and protect our water resources.

The new fees charged are based on the amount of water to be used and what it will be used for. For example industrial users such as mining, the oil and gas sector or water botting op-erations will pay the hightest rate.

Agriculture, mean-while, will pay less. And your typical household served by a municipality will see its water fee rise by just $1 to $2 per year.

No one user will subsidize government by paying more than

its fair share; more than what it costs government to de-velop and enforce the new rules within the WSA.

To ensure a sus-tainable water source for future genera-tions the WSA pro-vides various new tools such as manda-tory reporting, bet-ter protection for � sh and aquatic environ-ments, prioritizing conservation espe-cially during drought and scarcity, enacting area based regula-tions to address local needs if required and tools that can be ap-plied to speci� c areas, to respond to local pressures on water re-sources.

For the � rst time, groundwater users throughout British Columbia will be regulated. This in-

cludes industrial, ag-ricultural and other non-domestic users who will now pay fees and rentals, require a license and have to report their water us-age. They will also have the same access rights and responsi-bilities as individu-als who obtain their water from surface sources. Household wells, however, will not be licenced or charged.

The new water rates are based on sound principles, and attempt to strike a fair balance between appropriately pricing our water resource and supporting eco-nomic development. Water is vital for life and the new Water Sustainability Act is essential in protecting our environment for future generations.

In March we put the spotlight on poison prevention to raise awareness of possible sources of poisoning in our homes. Examples include little soft pillows of detergent for our dish and clothes washers. Purses may contain medications, toothpaste, nicotine sources (cigarettes, gums, e-cigarettes) and alcohol found in perfumes, hand sanitizers and mouthwash. Look carefully at these poisoning sources and keep your children safe.

Sometimes, when we reach for another sugar-containing soft drink, it is beneficial to imagine how much exercise it takes to burn off those extra calories. Most of these drinks contain 150 – 170 calories and 41 to 46 grams of sugar. To work off one can, you would have to walk at medium speed for 38 minutes; run six mph for 13 minutes; ride a bike for 17 minutes. Kind of puts in into perspective.

Compression stockings have their greatest pressure at the ankle and reduce going up the leg. They are helpful in preventing deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the lower leg). They may relieve symptoms and even slow the progress of varicose veins. They also help prevent the blood from pooling in the lower legs which can cause skin breakdown. Your doctor can advise if these stockings will help you.

A blood test is perhaps the most common of diagnostic tools. Back in 1884, a German scientist found a way to count red blood cells for the very first time. This made diagnosis of anemia much easier.

Campers, set your alarm clocks to wake up from dreams of roasted hotdogs and riverside hikes, Dis-cover Camping, the Province’s camping reservation system, opens for business at 9 a.m. Sunday, March 15, 2015.

Just a few clicks is all it takes to re-serve a frontcountry campsite in many provincial parks, up to three months in advance through the Discover Camping website (www.Dis-coverCamping.ca) . Bookings can also be made throughthe call centre at 1-800-689-9025.

Up to three reser-vations can be made in one easy transac-tion for those avid explorers looking to book more than one camping excursion.

New for the 2015 camping season, fam-ilies can now reserve campsites in Summit Lake, Juniper Lake, Whiskers Point and Kootenay Lake pro-vincial parks. More campsites are also

available in Mount Robson and Ken-tucky Alleyne provin-cial parks.

This year, Haynes Point and Okana-gan Falls provincial parks are being man-aged by the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB). Campers to these In-terior parks can ex-pect the same recre-ational opportunities enjoyed previously. The Province and OIB are working to have both parks open April 1, 2015, for the camping season, and for Haynes Point to be on the Discover Camping system. The campground at Okanagan Falls re-mains first-come, first-serve.

The interactive reservation website transports camp-ers to their desired campground display-ing the availability, layout and amenities at 115 easily acces-sible (frontcountry) campgrounds in 99 provincial parks.

Campers can also make bookings on the go through their smartphones. This mobile platform is simpler and easier

to access when the Discover Camping website is in high demand, accessible from any Internet de-vice.

“With camping season just around the corner, many fam-ilies are looking to fit BC Parks into their outdoor adventures,” said Mary Polak, Environment Min-ister, “The Discover Camping service is a great tool for those campers who know when and where they want to spend their time. With over 5,200 easily accessible campsites to choose from throughout the province, I encourage families to visit the website now and fa-miliarize themselves before the reserva-tion system opens on March 15.”

Some camp-grounds on the res-ervation system are 100 per cent reserv-able, while others offer first-come, first-served sites

Bookings for group sites are avail-able up to 12 months in advance of the ar-rival date.

In 2014, more than

Founder of Pink Shirt Day speaks to students and politicians at B.C. Legislature

Pink Shirt Day founder Travis Price is shown speaking at an anti-bul-lying rally at the B.C. legislature in Victoria on Feb. 25. Price, started Pink Shirt Day as a high school student in Nova Scotia in 2007 when he saw two of his fellow grade 12 students harass a younger student for wearing a pink shirt, so he and his friend bought 75 pink tank tops and handed them out at the school the next day. They promoted the idea on social me-dia and it caught on, with hundreds of students wearing pink to school.

“It is hard to stand up for people, but it’s all about taking that risk and hoping you can make somebody’s life better,” Price told a group of students and politicians at the noon-hour rally on the legislature steps.

Angila Wilson

was murdered in her Clearwater home in the spring of 2014. Though her brother wishes to take them, Wilson’s three chil-dren remain in care 10 months later.

The NDP’s spokes-person for children and family develop-ment is calling on the provincial govern-ment to reunite the children of a woman killed in Clearwa-ter last year with her family members in Hope.

Doug Donaldson said he also wants to see an investigation launched to deter-mine why it’s taken so long to do so.

Angila Wilson

was murdered in her Clearwater home on April 20, 2014. Her three children — ranging in age from three to seven — have been in foster care since, despite Wil-son’s brother’s fam-ily attempting to take them in.

“I think that when you look at the hor-ri� c situation that started this — the murder — this is one of the most grievous cases one could imag-ine,” Donaldson said.

“I believe what’s needed is for the chil-dren to be placed in permanent care im-mediately with the family and an inves-tigation be held to determine how this happened.”

Wilson’s estranged common-law hus-

band, Iain Scott, is charged with � rst-de-gree murder. He was denied bail this week and is slated to return to court for a prelimi-nary inquiry in May.

Frank Wilson, An-gila’s brother, said he told his sister be-fore she died that he would take her kids in if anything happened to her.

“I’m here to try to have my sister’s wishes met,” he said. “I feel as though they [the children] have been let down by the system because they are still in foster care and they should be in the care of a family member.

“The whole point was for them to be integrated into our family as an adop-tion.”

Leanne Bowcott, who is married to Frank Wilson and was close with his sis-ter, said Angila Wil-son � ed Scott three times in the years leading up to her murder — at one point staying in Bow-cott’s Hope home for three months.

“She expressed to us on several oc-casions that if any-thing happened to her, ‘Could you please take care of my three children?’” she said.

“We want the chil-dren to have a home — a permanent home. They’ve experienced trauma like no child should experience.”

Bowcott said the Ministry of Children and Family Devel-opment refuses to

transfer the � le for Wilson’s children to Hope from Clear-water — a necessary step to have them re-united with family members.

“She would just be horri� ed that her children are not with us,” she said.

“It’s been a rough 10 months to say the least. They need a home. They need to be loved. They need a family.”

The children are presently in foster care in Hope, and they are allowed limited visits with

family members.In a statement, a

spokesman for the Ministry of Children and Family Devel-opment called the situation “tragic and dif� cult,” but said he could not speak to the speci� cs of indi-vidual cases.

British Columbians are being invited to sup-port local dry graduation celebrations by donating at participating BC Liquor Stores throughout the province.

All donations collected between now and March 31, 2015, will help fund alcohol-free events and activities for graduating high school students in their communities.

Contributions by BC Liquor Store custom-ers and employees add to funds raised by parents, students and teachers for alcohol-free graduation celebrations. Each BC Liquor Store gives a small token of appreciation to customers who contribute $1 or more to the Support Dry Grad campaign.

More than 270 high schools in 56 school dis-tricts are participating in this year’s campaign. All Support Dry Grad donations raised by BC Liquor Stores go directly to the school district in that area or to the Federation of Independent Schools, which in turn provides the funding to the local grad committees.

Last year, the month-long fundraiser gener-ated over $500,000. These funds helped more than 52,000 B.C. high school graduates throughout the province celebrate with alcohol-free events and ac-tivities, such as carnivals and fortune tellers, and provided party favours, including temporary tat-toos.

For more than a decade, the Support Dry Grad campaign in BC Liquor Stores has been an integral part of the Liquor Distribution Branch’s efforts to prevent underage drinking and promote zero con-sumption by minors. Since its inception, the cam-paign has raised more than $5.4 million.

The � rst Support Dry Grad campaign was held in 2001 and is at the core of the BC Liquor Dis-tribution Branch’s corporate social responsibility program - the primary focus of which is helping to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors.

This year, 56 school districts and the Federation of Independent Schools are participating in the campaign.

One hundred per cent of the donations collect-ed are distributed to over 270 high schools hosting Dry Grad events.

With little explanation, the RCMP is moving its Air Four chopper based in Kamloops to Prince George, leaving the city without police helicopter sup-port.

Alan Hobler, president of Kamloops Search & Rescue, said Feb. 26 the move was ru-moured for some time but con-� rmed by RCMP this week.

The organization is disap-pointed by the move, which may slow rescue efforts.

“Usually it [response time] is really important,” Hobler said.

An RCMP spokesman based in Vancouver con� rmed the transfer of the helicopter based at Fulton Field.

The move is likely in early summer. In an email statement, Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said the “realignment” is being made to better deploy resources.

The RCMP’s north district based in Prince George “com-prises 72 per cent of B.C.’s geographic area, so this re-alignment is simply a matter of common sense,” he said.

Prince George does not cur-rently have a helicopter.

The move will leave Kelow-na with the nearest helicopter, followed by units in the Lower Mainland. The Kelowna-based

unit will cover an area that stretches from west of Lillooet to the southeast corner of B.C. and north to include Wells Gray Park.

Along with Air Four’s move north will go pilots, � ight of-� cers and maintenance engi-neers.

Helicopters and � xed-wing aircraft are used by RCMP for tasks including patrols and sur-veillance, searches, operational support and to quickly trans-port members and equipment around B.C.

Hobler said the loss will be mostly keenly felt when search-ing for people who are lost.

“You want a quick response. The longer people are out, the less they are responsive — and people who are not responsive

are dif� cult to � nd.”Loss of the aircraft will also

make helicopter training more distant and expensive for volun-teer search and rescue members.

Vermeulen said the north-bound chopper will see a corre-sponding move by a � xed-wing aircraft from the northern city to Kamloops. But those air-craft can’t bring rescue person-nel into remote sites and don’t work as well for searches, Ho-bler said.

He estimated RCMP’s Air Three, based in Kelowna, is a 20-minute � ight away.

More importantly, that re-source will have to be shared with other tasks and frequent maintenance, meaning the In-terior will be completely with-out service at times.

Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, on behalf of the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Develop-ment, today announced that the Government of Canada is helping increase jobs and op-portunities for urban Aboriginal people liv-ing in British Colombia.

Through the National Association of Friendship Centres, these strategic commu-nity investments are designed to enhance the participation of urban Aboriginal people in their local economies.

A number of organizations across Canada are receiving support for projects that aim to promote skills and training, entrepreneurship and supporting Aboriginal women, children and families.

McLeod congratulated the North Thomp-son Aboriginal Cultural Centre Society for receiving $120,000 which will help them build improved partnerships that understand the issues facing the local Aboriginal population

while working to encourage growth in num-bers of Aboriginal people in the workforce, and increase support for trained, skilled workers.

The improved Urban Aboriginal Strategy recognizes the important role urban Aborigi-nal organizations play, and further helps to promote community engagement, planning and partnerships with the goal of increasing the participation of urban Aboriginal people in the Canadian economy.

“I am proud that Canada is supporting the North Thompson Aboriginal Cultural Centre Society so that they can offer programs that provide Aboriginal youth with valuable skills, training and experience in the local tourism industry, and in a culturally sensitive way,” said Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, “Our Government’s Urban Aboriginal Strategy is about supporting the measures that help cre-ate jobs for Aboriginal people and encourage their participation in the economy for their benefit and for the communities in which they live.”

Do you feel like visiting with someone over a cup of coffee, but you’re not really sure where to go? This can be easily solved every Tuesday morning when a group of local residents meet at the Church of St Paul from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for ‘Coffee Time’.

There is no membership required, everyone is welcome to drop in and chat for a while. Attendees say conversations can go anywhere, depending on the interests of those present.

If you are new in Barriere , or maybe don’t have anyone to talk to right now, this could be a good time to stop in, meet some nice folks and enjoy an informal visit over a cup of coffee.

Starting in 2014, there is a new non-refund-able tax credit, based on an amount of $3,000, for certain search and rescue volunteers.

The new Search and Rescue Volunteer Tax Credit (SRVTC) will be calculated by multiply-ing the lowest personal income tax rate for the year by $3,000. For 2014, the credit will be $450 (15 % x $3,000).

Are you a search and rescue volunteer. Do you qualify for the SRVTC?

A search and rescue volunteer must perform at least 200 hours of eligible services in the year, each of which is an hour of:

• Eligible search and rescue volunteer services for an eligible search and rescue organization; or

• Eligible volunteer � re� ghting services for a � re department. For more information visit www.cra-gc.ca/� re� ghter/

The hours volunteered for both search and rescue and � re� ghter activities can be combined. However, you can only claim one credit for the

year, either the Volunteer Fire� ghter Tax Credit (VFTC) or the SRVTC.

However, if you were also engaged by the same organization (other than as a volunteer) for the same or similar duties, you cannot include any hours related to that organization in deter-mining if you have met the 200-hour threshold.

If you have any questions about the new Search and Rescue Volunteer Tax Credit or the Volunteer Fire� ghter Tax Credit please contact us at: Armour Mountain Of� ce Services, #1 - 4353 Connor Road, Barriere, B.C., V0E 1E0. Or call 250-672-9994, or email: [email protected]

District holds roundtable discussion about roads

STAR/JOURNAL photo: Jill HaywardDistrict of Barriere Mayor Virginia Smith listens to an area resident’s concerns about road issues within the municipality during the Feb. 19 road issues public roundtable. The mayor, along with a number of council members and district staff facilitated the discussions.

By Jill HaywardNorth Thompson Star/Journal

Preparing for the upcoming District of Barriere’s Traf� c By-law, the municipal-ity held a Road Issues Roundtable open to the public on Feb. 19 at the Ridge.

The roundtable provided just under 30 people (comprised of citizens of the mu-nicipality and area resi-dents) with an oppor-tunity to provide input and brainstorm solu-tions together over the two-and-a-half hour discussion.

Attendees circulated amongst four tables, with each table facili-tator asking a differ-ent question: roadside/storm water drainage issues, parking of com-mercial trucks on resi-dential streets, snow removal standards, and general road or road allowance issues.

Regarding drain-age issues it was noted a number of dry wells have already been put in with a few more yet to go. Dry wells should address the drain-age problem at Sta-tion Road/Yard Road, Barriere Town Road/Station Road, Barkley Road/Air� eld Road, as well as Connor Road.

There was also much discussion about

areas in subdivisions where residents have � lled in drainage ditch-es in order to have the lawn go right to the road. Although it could be a “hard sell”, the district hopes to move the grass back a little and add a swale or gradual slope so people can still mow the grass while the swale will be providing drainage in-stead of the water run-ning down the road or pooling in driveways and intersections. Ap-parently this pooling and water on the road is the cause of potholes and also undermines road edges.

It was noted that it is up to the municipality to put in the ditches, yet up to the property own-er to maintain them.

The discussion around parking of commercial trailers in residential streets proved to be an active one, with proponents from both sides speak-ing up. Complaints state noise, headlights shining in bedroom windows in the middle of the night, and ero-sion of roadways and driveway edges.

District bylaws at this time limit truckers to a 10 minute idle in residential areas with a $100 � ne for failure to comply. Fully loaded commercial vehicles are not permitted in

residential areas. Com-mercial vehicles can park on the right of way for no more than 48 hours.

The district noted that eventually when all of the roads are paved in the munici-pality they must have a plan to maintain those roads with a minimum of repair costs.

Snow removal was also a key ques-tion, with feedback invited from residents on the timeliness of snow removal, sand-ing and the quality of the work. It was noted the maximum accumulation of snow under the municipal-ity’s Priority One (4cm) for maintenance is the school bus routes and Barriere Town Road which must be cleared within two hours. Pri-ority Two (6cm) roads, such as Greentree, is four hours; with Prior-ity Three roads at 8cm. Discussion took place on increasing the snow depth from 6cm to 8cm, and 8cm to 10cm.

It was noted by many attendees that they felt the current road contractor, Mur-ray Purcha, has been doing a good job.

Another discus-sion took place on the possibility of closing Bannister Road to vehicle traf� c, but re-taining it as a � re lane

or secondary access. Active discussion

came from asking, “Should the commu-nity implement a desig-nated truck route, and if so should it be Bar-riere Town Road?”

Questions about what was happening with the state of the roads in the heart of the community due to construction of the sewer lines were an-swered by noting that the contractor will be back in town as soon as the frost is gone out of the ground.

A number of peo-ple complained about the damage the giant

potholes have in� icted on their vehicles, and especially how the state of the roads have made it exceedingly dif� cult for those us-ing scooters.

At the end of the session the district thanked all who at-

tended, noting they will be compiling the information gathered during the evening and discussing it in council. Another public meeting will be offered in April for those who were un-able to attend this one. Council will look at all

the � ndings and make their decisions.

If you would like to comment on road issues within the com-munity you can do so on the District of Barriere website or by stopping by municipal hall in the Ridge.

Eric has good reason to smile on his walk in the park with his 15-year-old dog Lacey. Thanks to the early spring weather being experienced during the past month, it has been so much easier and relaxing for the pair to enjoy this daily outdoor activity at the oval in Barriere’s Fadear Park. Eric says they hardly missed their daily walk this winter, and then only when it was just too cold, or the snow had not yet been removed from the pathway in the park.

District of Clearwater is to receive $390,000 for community bene� ts, municipal infrastructure, rec-reation and education through a memorandum of understanding with Transmountain Pipeline an-nounced on Thursday.

Total investment for the four TNRD electoral areas in the North Thompson will be $845,000:

• Blue River and Avola are to get $350,000 for parks, trails and education through Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

• Another $175,000 will go to Vavenby, Birch Island and Blackpool for community parks, also through TNRD.

• Little Fort is getting $170,000 for road up-grades and landscaping, while $150,000 is going to Black Pines for drinking water infrastructure.

Also in the MOU’s announced on Thursday, Kamloops will receive $700,000 for community projects, while Valemount is to get $185,000 for municipal infrastructure, recreation and education.

Under an earlier agreement, District of Barri-ere will receive a $290,000 contribution toward up-grading bike and pedestrian trails.

As part of the Community Bene� ts Program, each MOU calls for Trans Mountain to make a lo-cal investment in recognition of the effects of pipe-line construction or operation along the proposed route.

To offset the impacts of the expansion and to provide a positive legacy, the program will fund or partially fund three priority areas of investment: community programs and infrastructure improve-ments, environmental stewardship, as well as edu-cation and training opportunities.

The local investments are in addition to $52 million in annual property tax payments paid to pipeline corridor communities with the expanded pipeline system in operation.

Agreements now encompass the majority of pipeline construction communities along the cor-ridor from Strathcona County, Alberta to Hope, B.C. with a total value of $4.6 million, representing close to 1,000 km of the pipeline.

“We value our relationships with the communi-ties we have operated in for more than 60 years, and recognize the communities along the proposed cor-ridor affected by expansion construction should see direct bene� ts,” Kinder Morgan Canada presi-dent Ian Anderson said. “Our progress is signi� -cant. We’re ensuring the communities along our pipeline corridor receive investments to support important local projects. That’s in addition to land-owner compensation, and the economic activity and regional employment our project will generate during construction and subsequent operation.”

All agreements take effect with approval of the Expansion Project, which is in the midst of a Na-tional Energy Board review scheduled to conclude in October, 2015, with possible approval in spring, 2016. Other agreements are anticipated in the com-ing months as project planning continues.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Board of Directors’ meeting of Feb. 26, had the following highlights:

Ian Anderson, President of Kinder Morgan Canada, provided an update to the Board about the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project.

It was reported a public hearing was held for for Temporary Use Permit (TUP) 6 Bylaw No. 2497 for the property located at 4036 Campbell Range Road, Kamloops. The applicant was requesting seasonal assembly use for up to � ve events annu-ally as an ancillary use to the existing guest ranch for three years. A number of people spoke at the public hearing in favour of and against the appli-cation. The TUP was not granted.

Appointments to the existing Advisory Plan-ning Commissions (APC) were extended for 60 days to May 31, 2015. Staff were asked to submit a report to a future Board meeting outlining op-tions for possible APC recon� guration.

There was no doubt that Barriere Elementary School observed Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 25, since most students and staff were wearing the appropriate pink shirt. Al-though no special assembly was held, the school dem-onstrated its commitment to stand against bullying.

Now that bullying is freely talked about, and young peo-ple are learning how to deal with it, there is hope to curb this destructive behavior in society.

“It takes strong leaders in the classroom to raise aware-ness,” said Grade 6 and 7 teacher, Ms. Naylor, “Having friends and fellow students reminding each other how to react to possible bullying re-inforces a teacher’s guidance on how to avoid and counter-act bullying.”

Pink Shirt Day is one more way to bring awareness of the bullying problem out in the open, it reminds victims they are not alone and that they can speak up and ask for help.

People are also encouraged to recognize the upcoming International Day of Pink, which will be celebrated on Apr. 8.

This is a day against ho-mophobic, transphobic and all forms of bullying. It cel-ebrates diversity by wearing pink, and challenges stereo-types with special activities on that day.

There was no doubt that

SPORTSBy Joshua Clipperton, The Canadian Press

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - The Canada Games are viewed by many as a way to bring the country closer together.

Ask one of the young athletes who travelled to this city in northern British Columbia and they will probably tell you it was mission accomplished.

The multi-sport event wrapped up Sunday night with the closing ceremony, signalling the end of a 17-day run that included 2,400 competitors from all 10 provinces and three territories.

“Everything was just a blast here,” said Alberta men’s hockey captain James Hamblin. “Meeting all the different people from around Canada, that was just spectacular. This only comes once in a lifetime and I think we really cherish that.”

Established in 1967 to help celebrate Canada’s centennial and promote unity, the Games feature athletes aged 12 to 35 and alternate every two years between summer and winter editions.

“It’s really cool to represent your province and be with the best athletes in my sport in Canada,” said Quebec snowboarder Oceane Fillion. “It’s really nice. We met people from other parts of the country and I can practice my English.”

A number of elite Canadian athletes have competed at past Games, and fans here in all likelihood witnessed at least a couple future household names.

“It’s almost like a mini Olympics,” said B.C. hockey player Justin Almeida. “It has that kind of feel. It prepares you for bigger and better things. Hopefully one day I’ll be there. The experience is awesome.”

The event included years of planning by this city of some 90,000 people, and Games CEO Stuart Ballantyne said hosting has helped boost the psyche of the entire region.

“Lots of people didn’t think they could do it. They thought that they had bitten off a lot more than they could chew,” he said. “In the end you don’t eat it all at once. You take a little bit at a time.

“There’s a de� nite elevation in the con� dence of the city that they can do something. They’re proud to have had their city talked about across the nation. This is what the magic of the Canada Games is all about.”

It was also about performances, and there were many impressive ones. Que-bec � nished atop the overall medal standings with 141 (62 gold, 39 silver, 40 bronze), followed by Ontario’s 112 (47 gold, 40 silver and 25 bronze) and B.C.’s 88 (22 gold, 33 silver, 33 bronze).

There was also a camaraderie in the athletes’ village and an energy at the outdoor cultural events that many competitors experienced for the � rst time.

“It’s so incredible,” said Ontario women’s curling skip Megan Smith. “You have all these different sports and you have everyone cheering you on. You’re part of a bigger team. It’s something I’ve never experienced before.”

The small settle-ment of Vavenby is home to Ecki Manthei, a gifted artist who‘s artwork grows out of his connection to nature, and his drive to follow every new idea with a passion that moves him to create what is in his imagina-tion, without delay.

Ecki’s home stands out from all others in the Vavenby trailer park where it cannot be missed. Two large life-like eagles formed from wood, seem to be guarding his prop-erty. Varieties of crea-tures also made from wood, line the path to the house; and the ambiance of this place leaves no doubt that an artist lives here.

Ecki, and his life partner, Marilyn, arrived in the North Thompson Valley about five years ago. When they saw the trailer court in Vavenby, they “liked it right away and bought it”; a comfort-able, quiet place that allows his creativity to flourish.

Ecki says he emi-grated with his parents from Austria when he was a very young boy in 1945. He has lived and worked in various northern locations in

Canada, and eventu-ally came to live in Cloverdale, B.C. It is there that he began his artistic career.

Seashells were his medium then, tells Ecki as he explains how they lend them-selves to be made into clocks for instance, or be used as a canvas for his paintings.

When the couple eventually settled in the community of Vavenby, it is here that Ecki took on art as his life work.

Ecki has trans-formed one room of their home into an art gallery, where he now displays the numer-ous ‘Art By Ecki’ cre-ations.

The variety of his work is remarkable; it ranges from usable art, like wooden spoons and clocks, to wildlife and nature paintings. Ecki uses antlers for many of his carvings that depict wildlife, especially wolves, in their habitat.

“When I am walking in the forest, or along a stream, I often see something that gives me an idea for a proj-ect,” says the artist, “I may pick up a rock that would be just right to paint something on, or maybe I am lucky to find a moose or deer antler, and I know right away what I want to

carve on it!” He notes that near-

ly all the materials he uses in his creations are natural; giving the artwork its special character.

Sometimes a per-son may come into the gallery to view Ecki’s work, and they may purchase a special item of art for their own home. Most of the time though, Ecki and Marilyn market the art work by taking part in craft fairs.

“At some I do well, with others I do not,” commented the art-

ist on selling his work through craft fairs.

The couple say they have a few tentative ideas in mind for mar-keting; such as going on the road to sell their creations. But right now, they have no immediate plans that they want to follow.

“We like it here in Vavenby,” says Ecki, “We feel comfortable around here, and we do enjoy to be with the friends we have made in the area. For now, ‘Ecki’s Art’ will have its home in the North Thompson Valley .”

Nature plays a large part in Art by Ecki

Celebration of Art in Barriere June 23, 24By Jill HaywardNorth Thompson Star/Journal

Everything is in place for the June 23, and 24, Barriere Celebration of The Arts. The venue will be similar to last year’s event and will once again be hosted on property beside Highway 5 in Barriere, now the home of Sam’s Pizza and Rib House.

The two day Celebration of Art event is an extravaganza of art and culture, featuring the amazing talent of the North Thompson Valley and British Columbia.

Put on by the North Thomspon Arts Council, and the Yellowhead Artists Cooperative, the venue

continues to be admission free to the public, and encourages youth to attend and participate in the 12 years and under Art Activity Area.

Those involved say they expect a strong turnout of ven-dors this year and that they are looking forward to presenting such a broad range of top qual-ity art for exhibition and/or for sale.

Organizers say booth space is being filled fast by artists and artisans, and they encourage those who have not yet registered to do so now and avoid being disappointed. Service groups and organizations are also wel-come to participate to promote their programs in a booth at the site. Vendors are reminded they

must supply their own canopy or tent, and that power is not available.

If you would like more infor-mation or would like to book a space, or volunteer, please call Jessie at 250-672-9772.

“We figure that all the rain will be done with by then,” said one positive thinker, “It will be a great weekend, and the vendor tents will be to provide shade from the sun, not keep the rain off. We are expecting lots of art-ists, and a steady stream of visi-tors to our presentation. Come on down and see the extremely good works being produced from people within our art com-munity. You’ll be impressed – I guarantee it!”

VALLEY VOICESVALLEY VOICES

By Margaret HoubenNorth Thompson Star/Journal

For almost 40 years, Barriere and the surrounding area has been well sup-ported through the dedicated efforts of a group of local senior residents who have the best interests of their community at heart.

Before the Barriere and District Se-nior’s Society became a reality, in the mid 1970s the community was served by the Old Age Pensioner’s Organization (OAPO).

The Barriere division of the OAPO, Branch #135, received its charter in 1976, and held its � rst meeting in March of that year, meeting in the Barriere Second-ary School library. The Lions Club then graciously offered its hall (rent free) for the OAPO meetings, so subsequent meet-ings were held there.

One of the main goals of any branch of the OAPO is to build seniors housing, and as a result the members in Barriere were soon busy researching on building seniors housing and fundraising for this.

In 1977 three members of the branch were selected, as well as some members from the Lions Club, to start the Yellow-head Pioneer Residence Society – which continues to this day.

This society undertook a housing project for seniors, and as a result of their efforts, in July of 1979, the 12 suite Yel-lowhead Pioneer Residence was opened in Barriere.

Besides fundraising, the OAPO also held many fun activities for its members. They held picnics, plant sales and bingos. They formed a choir called the ‘Second Timers’; which was active for over 20 years and gave performances from Clear-water to Kamloops. They organized carpet bowling, shuf� eboard, crafts, lun-cheons, dinners, summer trips, and ba-zaars for the seniors.

The Barriere branch of the OAPO also gave out scholarships for students going on into the � eld of geriatrics.

They donated to the Food Bank, Snowaramas, Telethons, and to the Bar-riere Secondary School Band.

Unfortunately, by 1985 the Barriere OAPO membership was in decline, drop-ping to just 20 members.

Two years later, in 1987, membership was just $3 and was open to anyone of

any age in an effort to bolster their num-bers.

However, members of the group also found they were becoming disenchanted with the higher levels of the OAPO and were starting to consider leaving the or-ganization.

In the fall of 1988 Barriere members voted to become independent of the OAPO, and at the same time they decided to form a new organization – the Barriere and District Seniors’ Society.

One of the Barriere and District Se-nior’s Society founding members, John Friesen, said it best in an article he wrote for the North Thompson Star/Journal at the time, “What was wanted was a place where they (the seniors) could meet and socialize on a daily basis. A place where they would feel comfortable and at ease in pursuing whatever activities that inter-ested them.”

The society was then formed; and they received their charter on Jan. 1, 1989.

For the � rst few years the Society met at the Lions Hall, with the wish to build their own hall at some time in the future.

Plans were eventually drawn up for the building, and an arrangement made with the provincial government giving them permission to build the hall on provincial land.

The cost estimate at the time for the 4,000 square foot building was approxi-mately $200,000.

The ground was broken on Apr. 20, 1993, and the building of their hall be-gun.

Except for the roo� ng and an odd item here and there, everything was done by volunteers.

The Society’s � rst of� cial function in the hall was in 1994, the Mother’s Day Tea and Raf� e.

Then on Sept. 10, 1994, the Barriere and District Seniors’ Society held its grand opening, with Vesa Underwood (then aged 95) cutting the ribbon. Un-derwood was the Society’s oldest mem-ber at the time.

That year, they had 107 paid up mem-bers.

To quote John Friesen again, “A par-ticular source of pride for Society mem-bers is that the building was completed without borrowing a penny and with all bills paid.”

In subsequent years the Society has

held square dances, breakfasts, bingos, plays, free pool, and weddings or funer-als for members; which are just a few of the different kinds of activities that have taken place at the facility.

Today the Barriere and District Se-niors’ Society are still active and con-tinue to maintain the hall. Current board members say it is time to have a membership drive, not only to increase awareness of what the Society has to offer area seniors, but also to keep the group active - not just to fill executive positions, but to encourage new mem-

bers to inject their suggestions and ideas for new activities that all can en-joy.

All seniors in and around Barriere are welcome to join this active group, and for the purposes of membership, a senior is anyone aged 50 and up. Society meet-ings are held on the � rst Thursday of ev-ery month, 3 p.m. at the Senior’s Hall in Barriere.

If you would like more information about membership and the Society, you are invited to call Monica Ireland, presi-dent, at 250-672-2477.

Falkland is one of the many small towns nestled along winding highway 97 that driv-ers almost miss if there weren’t signs posted at both ends of the village requiring them to slow down. Although I pass through there regular-ly, the only time I stop is when locals hold their roadside market during the summer. Usually I just reduce my speed to 50 km, watching for pedestri-ans and approaching vehicles from covered side streets, then re-sume speed without even thinking.

Falkland has about 600 residents, and is notable because each year on Victoria Day they host the Falkland Stampede (one of Can-ada’s oldest rodeos); and they also claim to have the biggest Ca-nadian � ag in western Canada.

My wife recently purchased a 24mm

wide-angle lens and we were looking forward to checking it out. We had spent the day in Kelowna, about an hour south of Falkland and I thought that with the drive there would be lots of opportunity to see how her new lens would perform. I had read mixed reviews on-line, and I was anxious for my own results. I had made a few shots of the fence in front of our home, and allowed some side-lighted im-ages to catch sunlight to check lens � are, but I hadn’t made any practical images.

I know reviewers can be very strict with their lens testing and even go so far to in-clude charts and exag-gerated enlargements when they evaluate a lens.

However, in my opinion, all that most users care about is if a new lens is reasonably sharp and consistent

in how it reproduces a subject; and regarding wide angles, if there is any un� attering distor-tion.

The day had been long and I wasn’t thinking about much of anything except get-ting home and out of that car before we lost daylight. I don’t mind winter very much, but I do mind driving that narrow, slippery, wind-ing road after dark.

However, traf� c had been light and we hadn’t got stuck be-hind any big trucks. So we were making good time when we ap-proached Falkland.

Photographers talk about that “Golden Hour” just before sunset when the light is warmer and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. I doubt there is much of a golden “hour” in canyon towns like Falkland, but the light certainly was inviting at the moment and we had my wife’s camera and 24mm lens waiting for testing.

Linda was tired from our long day and was only willing to make a couple of shots of an old shop

before handing me her camera. She said, “You walk around”. So I did. In Falkland it doesn’t take much time to see everything on the main street.

I like buildings, shop signs and afternoon deep shadows and the narrow street was per-fect for testing that lens and anyway, I was hap-py to � nally make a few pictures while the light was exciting in that in-teresting little town.

I only walked around for about ten minutes and had so much fun that I for-got I was supposed to be testing that lens. I have lived in this part of British Columbia for over 30 years, and as I walked around I wondered why the only pictures I have ever seen of Falkland were a few of cowboys be-ing bucked off at the rodeo.

I guess it is hard to stop and look. And some photographers might feel locals would be uncomfortable with outsiders intruding. I doubt that unless someone stuck a lens in a local’s face they wouldn’t even notice a person standing along

the street, like I was, taking a few pictures in that neat little town

Oh, and that Nikon 24mm was just � ne. For those that wanted a review, I think my aperture was mostly at f8, f11 and f16 because I was interested in get-

ting as much depth of � eld as I could get. So I can’t comment on how well it performs wide open.

These are my thoughts this week. Contact me at www.enmanscamera.com or [email protected]. Stop

By Margaret HoubenNorth Thompson Star/Journal

For those interested in learning more about genealogy, there is a great resource available online at www.ted.com/talks. On their website they explain that “TED is a nonpro� t devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less)”. They have short talks covering almost all topics, from sci-ence to business to global issues, and they are available in more than 100 languages.

Included amongst their talks are some on genealogy. A Family Tree For Humanity is a great talk given by Spencer Wells, director of the Genographic Project at National Geographic. He explains, in easy to understand English, the goals of the project and the DNA work that they are doing. De� nitely worth a listen.

Another interesting talk is The Story Behind The Bloodlines by Taryn Simon. Simon cap-tures the essence of vast, generation-spanning stories by photographing the descendants of people at the center of the narrative. In this talk she shows a stream of these stories from all over

the world, investigating the nature of genealogy and the way our lives are shaped by the interplay of many different forces.

If you search TED’s site for “genealogy”, “family tree” or “ancestors”, you will get lists of talks that touch on the subject of genealogy. If you have some time on your hands and want to learn more about various aspects of genealogy, take the time to check out some of the talks on this site.

Of course, there are many other sites you can visit that offer free information on geneal-ogy. Such as www.genealogy.com/university.html. Here you will � nd courses, some for be-ginners, others for those who just want a little more information on particular areas, such as “post civil war immigrants” and “viewing grave-stones at the virtual cemetery”. There are many other sites as well; try searching for “free geneal-ogy courses”.

If you would like to join the Barriere Geneal-ogy Group, our March meeting will be on Mar. 28, at 10:30 a.m. at the Barriere Library. Every-one is welcome. For more information, call Mar-garet Houben at 250-672-9330.

This week is all about give and take, Capricorn. Do for others, and they will do for you. A special event calls for some extra-special gifts.

Some habits are hard to break, Aquarius. Look to a mentor to help and you will succeed. A fitness goal is easily achieved with a new piece of equipment.

The odds may be stacked against you, Pisces, but that doesn’t mean you won’t come out on top with a little ingenuity. A weekend endeavor requires a leap of faith.

Speak up, Aries, and the problem will be solved. A little miracle at home makes for an interesting weekend. Travel plans come together.

Cast aside all doubt, Taurus. The offer is genuine and will bring you many rewards. A test of faith begins— be strong. Money woes ease.

Feeling blessed these days, Gemini? Pay it forward. A compromise at home raises everyone’s spirits and fun ensues all weekend long!

A business relationship blossoms with an addition. A larger-than- life personality drops by with an offer you can’t refuse. Oh boy, oh boy, Cancer.

Oops, Leo. You fall behind on a project, raising some eyebrows. Not to worry. You will get back on track sooner than you think, thanks to an innovation.

Spend less, save more and you’ll definitely get more, Virgo. More in your bottom line and more peace of mind. Flowers provide a great pick-me-up.

Lady Luck smiles on you, Libra, and there is nothing beyond your reach. A treasured heirloom resurfaces, bringing back many fond memories.

The tiniest of changes make a vast improvement in a project. A rejection is a blessing in disguise. Be grateful for what you’re given, Scorpio.

News from afar gets the creative juices flowing, and you accomplish more than you have in some time, Sagittarius. A game of wits at the office proves challenging.

March 5 -11, 2015

You impress everyone with your creativity this week, Aries. Allow this creativity to be the inspiration behind projects you have been putting off of late.

Cancer, you have a lot to get done, but resist the urge to micromanage every detail, as this could be a surefire path to burnout. You need to take a few breaths.

Libra, you may be searching for a new adventure, but try to appreciate the here and now as well. It’s easy to get swept up in fantasies, but don’t let them carry you too far away.

Capricorn, find bal-ance between your personal ambitions and things you have to accomplish at work and at home. Finding a middle ground is the best approach.

Aquarius, you need a few extra people to contribute to a special task, but you do not know who to ask. If you think hard enough, you will know who you can depend on.

Keep your goals relatively simple for the next few days, Taurus. You can benefit from the positive reinforce-ment of completing tasks and getting things done.

Leo, avoid the temptation to get started on another new project. You already have plenty of other things on your plate. Finish those tasks before moving on to something new.

Scorpio, you suspect that someone is hid-ing something, and that very well may be the case. Perhaps a welcome surprise is coming your way. Resist the urge to dig too deep.

Your demeanor makes it easy for others to enjoy your company, and that will come in handy as your social schedule fills up in the days ahead.

Gemini, you have been immersed in work and are start-ing to show the ill effects of keeping long hours. Now is a great time to take a few days off or enjoy a mini-vacation.

It is sometimes easy to miss the forest for the trees, Virgo. Try taking a step back so you can look at a puzzling project from a new perspec-tive.

You can probably talk your way out of trouble, Sagit-tarius, but this time it’s better to let things play out. Keep conversations light and free from controversy.

Rushed mornings, no time for a lunch break, food-� lled meetings, shift work and limited time to prepare meals – there’s no doubt that workday challenges can make it dif� cult to eat well.

However, the ben-e� ts make it worth the effort. Eating well at work can boost con-centration, productiv-ity, and vitality. It can also reduce missed days of work by help-ing to improve overall health.

Interior Health’s Registered Dietitians want to inspire all workers to eat better at work and make other positive changes that support a healthier workplace and nutri-tion environment.

“Studies show that eating healthy at work not only bene� ts work-ers – employers bene� t too,” says Linda Boyd, Registered Dietitian with Interior Health’s Community Nutrition Program. “Healthier employees can mean cost reductions in a company’s employee health insurance plans,

fewer disability days, and a reduction in health-related lost pro-ductivity.”

Employers can sup-port healthy eating at work by providing a re-frigerator, microwave, and comfortable eating area for staff to have their meals.

Offering healthy food and beverages at meetings and celebrat-ing milestones with healthy choices like a fresh fruit bouquet help demonstrate an employer’s commit-ment to health.

Practical tips for planning healthy food at meetings and events can be found at Eat Smart – Meet Smart

(http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/healthyeat-ing /pdf /eat - smart -meet-smart.pdf ).

Many Canadian workers say eating healthy meals and snacks while at work can be challenging.

“One way of meet-ing this challenge is to ‘Make it. Take it.’ There are many time saving and healthy choices you can make at home and bring to work,” says Boyd. “Drive past the drive-thru, don’t stop at your usual pastry and coffee pit stop; instead, make breakfast ahead.”

Making and taking food to work can be quick and easy. Boyd

suggests pre-portion-ing individual servings of fruit and yogurt, or trail mix to grab n’ go as you head out the door.

If you are looking for more ideas check out the Cookspira-tion app (http://www.cookspiration.com) for recipes to suit your mood and schedule; download eaTrack-er (http://eatracker.ca) to track your food and activity habits on the go; or dial 8-1-1 to speak to a Registered Dietitian at Health-Link BC.

Be sure to watch for Interior Health’s daily tweets during March for even more ideas.

OBITUARY

Born Mathilde Breining in Ger-many, on July 9, 1931, she passed away on February 16, 2015 in the Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater, B.C.

Mathilde immigrated to Canada in the late 1950’s where she settled in Surrey, B.C., and in 2014 made the move to Barriere, B.C., to be closer to family.

She was predeceased in 2002 by her husband Wolfgang Doering.

Mathilde is survived by her broth-er Willie (Bonnie) Breining of Tim-othy Lake, B.C.; children Roswitha Crowe of North Battleford, Sask., Gerhard (Cathy) Doering of Barri-ere, B.C., Wilfried (Lenora) Doering of McLure, B.C., Siegfried Doering of Surrey, B.C., and Chiquitta Bunz of Baker Creek, B.C..

Mathilde has numerous grand-children and great grandchildren, all

of whom she loved to spoil.Mathilde greatly enjoyed partici-

pating in the Senior’s Day Programs at the Barriere Seniors Hall, and she also very much enjoyed the visits from area home support workers.
