Hoof and Woof debuts at Back Country Horsemen RendezvousThe annual BC Back Country Horsemen Rendezvous, which was hosted by the North Thompson Chapter, and held at the Agriplex in Barriere last weekend, wasn’t just about horses. New to the venue this year was a Hoof and Woof competition which involved a horse and rider completing an ob-stacle course, and then a teammate with a dog also completing an obstacle course. The event was a great crowd pleaser, and all who participated said they had a “great time” with both their equine and canine companions.

Does often leave their fawns alone for extended periods of time, many times only returning to nurse at dawn and dusk. However, the does are typically nearby, even if you do not see them, and may act aggressively to protect their young if they feel they’re in danger. Does see domestic dogs as potential predators, and will act quickly and aggressively to drive a dog away from their fawns, even if the dog is being walked by the owner on a leash, or in the owner’s backyard. However, once the fawns are strong enough on their legs to keep up with their mother the doe will leave the birthing area and lead them back to her usually territory. In the interim though, dog owners and walkers are advised to use caution for a few weeks and pay heed to any signs you may see in popular walking areas that make note of “Aggressive Deer” in the area.

Kinder Morgan may move its entire Trans Mountain pipeline out of the path of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine.

The company has released new information on its website about where it will lay the almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe it wants to add to its exist-ing lines, which run from Alberta to B.C.’s Lower Mainland.

The extra capacity would allow the company to pump 890,000 barrels a day of light and heavy oils and re� ned products, up from the 300,000 barrels per day it pumps now.

The project will cost an estimated $5.4 billion.North of the Thompson River, the company is

proposing to lay its new pipe along the already-ex-isting � bre-optic transmission system line that runs through Crown land and the Lac du Bois Protected Area.

In a video on its website, the company says ex-isting pipelines in the neighbourhood often don’t have room in their right-of-ways for another pipe.

Steep cliffs, the North Thompson River and ur-ban growth since the original pipe was laid in the early 1950s also limit options on the city’s northern edge.

Homeowners in Westsyde have also expressed concern about the pipeline expansion in the past and have asked to have the new line routed away from their houses.

The company appears to have granted their wish.

“The route could bypass the Westsyde neigh-bourhood and many landowners along Westsyde Road,” the video says.

The pipeline would return to its original rout-ing on the North Shore and across the Thompson River, but would veer off course again over lands south of Aberdeen, where KGHM Ajax wants to build its open pit copper and gold mine.

Because the existing line is so close to the mine — participants on the company’s site tours must drive over it to look at sites for some of the pro-posed buildings — Kinder Morgan may move its old pipe as well “to protect the integrity of the pipelines.”

The company does not have a � rm route in place, but is considering a few alternatives.

An open house to collect feedback on the pro-posed Kamloops route is set for Thursday, June 13, and will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kamloops Convention Centre, 1250 Rogers Way.

Clearwater’s Lisalee Camp-bell, age 11, knocked the socks off the assembled dignitaries when she sang a soulful ren-dition of O’ Canada to open a ceremony held to name the members of B.C.’s new cabinet.

The event was held Friday afternoon at the Vancouver Trade and Convention centre.

“She was terri� c,” said one person who was at the cere-mony. “Did her own thing and really owned the moment … strung out the anthem like ev-ery pro does.”

Campbell had sung for Christy Clark when the premier visited Clearwater last Novem-ber. Apparently she made an impression. Early last week a member of the premier’s staff phoned the young singer’s par-ents and asked if she could per-form during Friday’s naming

ceremony. The family drove to the Coast on Thursday. Erica’s Emporium in Clearwater pro-vided a blue summer dress for Lisalee to wear for the event.

Lisalee and the other mem-bers of the Campbell family

planned to sing for patients at Vancouver General Hospital while on the Coast.

They also intend to perform for patients at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwa-ter after their return.

Kamloops This Week

Hospitals and highways across B.C. are now the respon-sibility of Kamloops’ two MLAs.

Both Kamloops-North Thompson’s Terry Lake and Kam-loops-South Thomp-son’s Todd Stone snagged seats in Pre-mier Christy Clark’s new cabinet, unveiled on Friday, June 7.

Lake, in his second term as MLA, moves from his previous po-sition as minister of environment to min-ister of health.

Stone, a new face in the Clark govern-ment, will head up the ministry of trans-portation and serve as deputy house leader.

“The voice of the people of Kamloops is going to be heard loud and clear at that cabinet table,” Stone told KTW by phone from the Vancouver ceremony.

“Terry and I are going to be able to � ght very, very hard for the priorities in Kamloops. Of course, we both have a pro-vincial mandate in our respective port-folios, but we’ll be at the table making sure the issues of Kam-loops are front and centre.”

Stone said the cab-inet appointment was an unexpected “bo-nus” and he’s excited to head up a ministry that deals with “some of the most impor-tant issues” for Brit-ish Columbians.

Lake also said the appointment of two local politicians to “two very big � les” is a good sign for Kam-loops.

“I think that shows a great sense of con� -dence by the premier in us and bodes well for our communities,” he said.

Lake wants his ministry to look for new and innovative ways of delivering heath care, with a focus on health pro-motion that keeps people from needing acute medical care

down the line.Mayor Peter Mi-

lobar called the ap-pointments “signi� -cant,” but said they won’t necessarily translate into more projects and provin-cial dollars for Kam-loops.

But, he said, Lake and Stone will bring an understanding of local concerns to projects like the later phases of the multi-million-dollar Royal Inland Hospital ex-pansion.

“If you look at the hospital speci� cally, we have very strong commitments from the premier and both Todd and Terry on that,” Milobar said.

“So, we were look-ing for those commit-ments to be followed through on regardless of which ministries they were in.”

Milobar said hav-ing local representa-tion at the cabinet table does make the city’s working re-lationship with the province a little easi-er.

“Certainly I con-sider both men friends of mine. It makes it a little easier to have those conver-sations,” he said.

“It’s always nice, I can text them or leave them a voicemail and they get back to me almost right away. I’m not saying they don’t do that general-ly, but not all MLAs and mayors get along like that.”

With Lake head-ing up the ministry of health, the decision on the controversial proposed Ajax cop-per and gold mine south of Aberdeen is now in the hands of Langley MLA Mary Polak, who takes over the environment portfolio, and new minister of energy and mines Bill Ben-nett, who represents Kootenay-East.

Kamloops Area Preservation As-sociation member John Schleierm-acher hopes the new appointees will put the project “under a

microscope.”He also hopes to

see Lake engage more with groups in the community that have concerns about the mine.

As environment minister, Lake was required to stay im-partial on the mine project, which he said kept him from meet-ing with many of Ajax’s opponents.

“Now he’s repre-senting the people of Kamloops in regards to the mine and his concerns should be the welfare of the people of Kamloops,” Schleiermacher said.

“We’ll be looking forward to meeting with him and express-ing our concerns on the issue. I know he’s had to step back from the issue, but now I think he’s going to have to become much more involved than he has in the past.”

The new cabi-net will be formally sworn in on Monday, June 10.

The remainder of the cabinet:

• Rich Coleman, deputy premier and minister of natural gas development and Minister responsible for housing,

• John Rustad, minister of aboriginal relations and recon-ciliation.

• Amrik Virk, min-ister of advanced ed-ucation.

• Pat Pimm, minis-ter of agriculture.

• S t e p h a n i e Cadieux, minister of children and family development.

• Coralee Oakes, minister of communi-ty, sport and cultural development.

• Peter Fassbender, minister of educa-tion.

• Mike de Jong, minister of � nance and government house leader.

• Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural re-source operations.

• Teresa Wat, min-ister of international trade, minister re-sponsible for Asia Paci� c strategy and multiculturalism.

• Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tour-ism and skills training and minister respon-sible for labour.

• Naomi Yamamo-to, minister of state for tourism and small business.

• Suzanne Anton, minister of justice and attorney general.

• Don McRae, minister of social de-velopment and social innovation.

• Andrew Wilkin-son, minister of tech-nology, innovation and citizens’ services

*Star/Journal edi-tor’s note: Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake will also serve on the fol-lowing committees: Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow as chair, Legislative Review Committee as vice-chair, Treasury Board as vice-chair, and Cabinet Work-ing Group on Core Review. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone will serve on the Priorities and Planning, and the Cabinet Committee on Strong Economy.

Guest Edi tor ia l ;

It was Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. who famously said “Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.”

Fair enough. But Holmes didn’t put a price tag on the notion of a civilized society. How much are you willing to pay? Or put another way, how long in the year would you be willing to work to pay for all the stuff government does?

In 2013, Canadians worked until June 10, which happens to be Tax Freedom Day, to pay all taxes leveled by government.

Tax Freedom Day is an easy-to-understand measure of the total tax burden imposed on Canadian families by federal, provincial, and local governments. If you had to pay all your taxes up front, you would give governments each and every dollar you earned before Tax Freedom Day.

If working until June 10 sounds like a long time, it’s because the taxes we pay extend well beyond the income tax we see deducted off our pay cheques. In fact, the total tax bill for a typical Canadian family includes a dizzying array of taxes, including visible ones like income taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, and property taxes as well as hidden ones like profit taxes, gas taxes, import duties – and the list goes on.

In 2013, we estimate that the average Canadian family consisting of two or more people will pay a total tax bill of $42,400 or 43.6 per cent of their annual income, which results in Tax Freedom Day falling on June 10. It’s only from then on that Canadians start working for themselves and their families instead of government.

While that may be reason enough to celebrate, keep in mind that Tax Free-dom Day arrived two days later than last year. And it’s no wonder why. Govern-ments across the country have recently increased taxes in an effort to make up for years of overspending that resulted in multi-year deficits.

This past year alone, British Columbia and New Brunswick increased per-sonal and corporate income taxes (B.C. also raised its health tax), Manitoba in-creased its provincial sales tax, Quebec increased its top income tax rate, Prince Edward Island increased its tax on small businesses, and Ottawa increased Em-ployment Insurance premiums.

And then there’s Canada’s progressive tax system, which imposes a higher total tax burden on families as their incomes increase. As incomes have recov-ered from the 2008-09 recession, the average tax burden has grown to a greater extent, causing Tax Freedom Day to come later.

As an example of Canada’s progressive system, the top fifth of income earn-ers face an average total tax burden amounting to 52.4 per cent of income while the bottom fifth face an average burden of 17.3 per cent. Indeed, the more you earn, the more of your income goes to paying taxes.

But the true tax burden doesn’t end with the revenues that governments col-lect. The reality is, governments often spend more than their revenues allow and then borrow the difference. In other words, they incur deficits.

This year, the federal and six provincial governments are planning to incur deficits totalling $34 billion. (Ottawa expects a deficit of $18.7 billion while the provinces cumulatively expect deficits of $15.3 billion.) According to our cal-culations, Tax Freedom Day would come nine days later this year, on June 19, if Canadian governments covered their current spending with even greater tax increases instead of borrowing the shortfall.

The trend of governments relying on borrowed money began years ago.

To the editor;Regarding the ongoing discussions of the

proposed improvement to the water system, it is important to remember that the issue at stake is not about the mayor, or whether I like him. It is not about the council, nor a particu-lar council member, nor whether I like them, like few or like none. It is about us; about our community.

In a recent letter, the writer mused that no clear answers were forthcoming as to fu-ture phases. Simply with respect to this proj-ect there were none. But as to the future, the probable answer is ‘ongoing’.

Feeding children, mowing lawns, painting fences, replacing roofs, are never-ending phas-es - unless we want the roof to fall in on us one winter night. Improvements to the older part of the water system with its 50-year-old nar-row gauge pipe will have to be made sooner or later. And probably sooner.

Quite frankly, on reading the aforemen-tioned letter, I was wondering whether the writer and I were at the same meeting.

Rather than the council having all of a sud-den conjured this project out of thin air to foist upon us, it seemed to me that the engi-neers looked at the planned waste water proj-ect, which will disrupt and cross the roadway for various connections, and saw an opportu-nity to upgrade the parallel water line at the same time, and at less cost than a stand alone project some years hence.

I went to the meeting skeptical, tried to keep an open mind, but I left convinced.

This issue is not whether the mayor is a twit or not. It is about whether this project is ap-propriate, timely and cost ef� cient. I am con-vinced that it was. I am convinced that it still is.Glenn M. AndrewsBarriere, B.C.

To the editor;This letter is to Mr. Sam MacLe-

on, Superintendant of MVBC.Regarding: The drivers over 80

medical exam.Dear Sir;We older drivers are certainly a

hazard on the road. My goodness, we actually think

that 90 km/ph, means 90 km/ph. So we really are in the way of the younger drivers who know that you meant 120 km/ph.

Oh, by the way, I was recently passed by a government of BC auto... you know, the ones identi-� ed by the letters and numbers on the left rear, who was clearly smart-er than me. He/she was doing 100 in the 90 zone and obviously knew that the two solid lines painted in the middle of the road meant pass very fast in case another younger driver was coming around the blind corner doing the same thing; and was really annoyed at the fool-ish older driver for forcing her/him

to pass on the other side of the road.

So, yes, let’s get these older driv-ers off the road, and they may be lucky enough to outlive the smarter younger drivers.

In closing, Sir... I am a retired po-lice of� cer, who spent 10 plus years in the traf� c division. You know the ones we used to have who’s job it was to see that we were safe on the roads. So, instead of target-ing all older driver, why not use the money and resources to actually get the unsafe drivers off the road.

Unfortunately, a previous gov-ernment created ICBC and, like all government started programs, the people in charge get too much pow-er. And with all due respect, they are well intentioned, but ignorant of the way to handle unsafe driv-ers... put the traf� c police back on the road and we will get most of the unsafe drivers off of the road.An Older and Wiser DriverBarriere, B.C.

Facilitator Kirk Stierwalt, from Oklahoma, helped participants of all ages to acquire the skills needed to put the “competitive edge” on their side.

The Policy Review Committee conducted a comprehensive review of all TNRD Board policies and brought forward recommenda-tions to the Board. While the content of some policies stayed the same, most of them will be reformatted. A number of policies were amended to be consistent with current legis-lation and ef� ciency, while other policies were repealed due to irrelevancy, and some will be converted to Corporate Practices as they are operational in nature.

The next TNRD Regular Board Meeting is scheduled for June 13, at 1:15 p.m.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat approx-imately 23,200 hect-ares of forest in the Kamloops region to reduce populations of western spruce budworm.

The biological agent Foray 48B will be applied by heli-copter on or about June 12-19, weather permitting, on 17 sites near Barnes Lake, Robbins range, Lac le Jeune, Logan Lake and Westwold.

The western spruce budworm is an insect that is na-tive to B.C. and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas-fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees. A budworm outbreak has the potential to seriously harm or kill trees over large areas.

The pest manage-

ment plan and maps of the treatment ar-eas can be viewed at the Thompson Okan-agan Region Forest Health Program of-fice at 441 Columbia Street, Kamloops or online at: http://www.fo r. g ov. b c . c a / r s i /ForestHealth/West-e r n _ S p r u c e _ B u d -worm_Spray_2013_Thompson.htm

Foray 48B is a biological insecticide that is widely used in B.C. and is registered with the Organic Ma-terials Review Insti-tute.

The active ingre-dient in Foray 48B is the naturally oc-curring bacterium Bacillus thuringi-ensis var. kurstaki (Btk). This spray af-fects only moth and butterfly larvae and can be used safely around humans and other animals. Birds, household pets, fish and beneficial insects (including honey bees) are not affect-ed.

At approximately 8:15 a.m., on Thursday, June 6, a blue Toyota Tacoma pickup was southbound on Highway 5, just north of the Fishtrap rest area. Police report the driver failed to negotiate a left hand curve and exited the road.

Evidence on scene indicated the driver tried to steer back onto the road at the last second and caught the concrete no-post. The vehicle traveled along the top of the no-post (guard rail) to the end, then went off the edge of the shoulder to the right, rolling sideways down the embankment.

“The truck rolled onto the passenger side catching a large rock in the ground on the top of the ‘A’ pillar causing severe damage to the truck, but likely saving the passenger from serious or fatal injury, said Cpl Darin Underhill, “The two male occupants exited the truck on their own, and climbed to the top of the bank. Both males received minor injuries as a result of the collision. Thankfully one witness and a � ag crew stopped on scene to ensure all were okay and set up cones to warn drivers of the collision.”

The driver of the Tacoma was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act.* Article submitted by Barriere RCMP.

Principal merry-go-round is now in operation

The Times

Sometime during Friday night, May 31, cans of fuel were sto-len from a maintenance yard in Little Fort. Be-cause of the location and other circumstanc-es, it is believed that the people responsible are local to the area. If anyone has information about this incident, he or she is encouraged to advise the Clearwater RCMP at 250-674-2237 or call Crime Stop-

pers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

On May 31, the Clearwater RCMP was noti� ed of the possi-bility of a drunk driv-er. The of� cer on duty waited for the driver, however, it was learned that he had taken a back route out of town. The information was forwarded to the Barri-ere of� cer, who stopped the vehicle.

The driver provided two samples into the alcohol screening de-

vice and both resulted in a “Fail” reading. The driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition

and the vehicle was im-pounded for 30 days. A small amount of mari-juana was also seized.

There were two District of Barriere meetings on June 3. The � rst was the Committee of the Whole, which started at 5 p.m. Members of the commit-tee heard progress reports on the various components of the Wastewater Project. They also had a last look at the Winter Road Maintenance Speci� ca-tions and Associated Contract Expectations report. After some discussion, they moved to proceed with going to requests for proposals. The RFP will be posted on the district web-site within the next week.

The next Committee of the Whole meeting will be on June 17, at 5 p.m.

The second meeting was the general council meeting. One of the delegations heard from at the meeting was from Mark Ralko of Jilmar Contracting Services. Ralko is interested in setting up hitching rails at

various locations in Barriere, and wanted to make sure the district had no objections, and to � nd out if the district’s permission - or permits - were required. Mayor Humprheys advised Ralko that as the loca-tions he mentioned in his ap-plication (AG Foods, Country Feeds and the Legion) are all private property, permission is not required from the district, but from the property owners.

Council members’ only ma-jor concerns are that those us-ing such facilities keep the ar-eas clean.

Ralko stated that he was considering having small com-posting stations next to the posts, so that cleanup would be simpler, and the compost could then be free for local gardeners.

CAO Colleen Hannigan reported that the family bar-becue on May 30 was a great success. They sold out of the food, and raised over $1,100 for the Heritage Splash Pad fund. Hannigan, thanked ev-

eryone who helped organize the event, and all those who at-tended for their support.

Council members approved Development Permit No. 13-01. This permit was put for-ward by Interior Savings Credit Union, to renovate the facade on the building.

The district received a re-ply from Canada Post regard-ing the change of business hours for the Barriere post of-� ce. The letter states, “...after a careful review of customer traf-� c patterns, we have made the decision that retail services will no longer be offered on Satur-days as of July 6, 2013.” The letter goes on to say, “Please note that we will be staying open later on Thursdays, until 6 p.m.”

Council members moved to send another letter to Canada Post, requesting that they stay open later on Fridays as well.

The next District of Barriere council meeting will be on June 17, at 7 p.m.

Barriere youngsters thoroughly enjoyed the 2012 Bike Rodeo, and are already looking forward to the second annual event June 23.


On Sunday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Barriere Emer-gency Services and Success by Six will be hosting their 2nd Annual Bike Rodeo. This year the event will take place at the Senior Centre parking lot across from Fadear Park.

There will be a registration table where participants start out with a bike and helmet check, then pick up their test sheet and ticket for the draws. Participants will be put through four stations testing their biking skills and knowledge. Members of the local emergency ser-vices will be at each station to help the kids through each course and grade them on their efforts.

There will be great prizes once again for participants, with new bikes, bike helmets and other goodies to be awarded at the end of the event which is meant to be fun, educational and encourage safe bik-ing practices. The bike rodeo will run alongside the Royal Canadian Legion and Barriere RCMP community barbecue, that will be tak-ing place the same day and directly across the street in Fadear Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be food, drinks and fun for every-one at no charge. Organizers say they are expecting a bouncy castle, face painting, music, and other things for families to take part in. Don’t miss a great time with the whole family on Sunday, June 23.

The term ‘off-label drugs’ refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an anti-malarial drug to treat night time leg cramps.

Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine.

Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has.

It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, ‘there’s no such thing as a healthy tan’. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants.

Happy Father’s Day

Quality time with my dadDallas Hunt spent some quality time with his son Austin when they attended last months babies of 2012 luncheon hosted by Yellowhead Community Services and Success By Six.


News Canada

Father’s Day is reserved for celebrating the men in our lives. Whether it’s grandpa, dad, an uncle, or a husband, families do what they can on this day each year to make each man feel special and appreciated. While a new tie, a round of golf or a pair of game tickets may be well-received, the most generous gift one can give is information that will help him take stock of his health and well-being.

Here are five important messages to share with him this Father’s Day – or any day of the year:

• Eat well: It’s important to make healthy choices and consume a well-balanced diet consisting of whole grains, vegetables, fruit, milk and alternatives, protein and healthy fats each day, to provide the body with the energy, vitamins and minerals it requires.

• Be active: According to the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, being active for at least 150 minutes per week can help reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesi-

ty, premature death and certain types of can-cer. Exercise also promotes improved fitness, strength and mental health.

• Laugh more: Research shows laughter is a great medicine. Humour produces psycho-logical and physiological effects on the body that are similar to the health benefits of aero-bic exercise.

• Get checked: Though many men tend to avoid their doctor, an annual visit is highly recommended by health care practitioners. It allows for necessary tests to screen for a vari-ety of health issues and help to flag anything that could be cause for concern.

• Address issues: If his strength and muscle tone aren’t the same as what they were last summer, or he’s not himself lately (irritable mood, lack of concentration, low energy etc.) –it’s important to investigate. These symp-toms can be attributed to several conditions; in some cases, the culprit is hypogonadism, also known as low testosterone. This medi-cal condition, which can be undiagnosed, is estimated to affect up to 25 per cent of men in Canada over the age of 40, and can lead to symptoms such as reduced sex drive, de-creased energy, body changes, mood changes and sexual dysfunction. In addition, the prev-alence of low testosterone in men suffering from Type 2 diabetes is between 33 per cent and 50 per cent, and clinical guidelines pub-lished by the Endocrine Society recommend screening the testosterone levels of all men with Type 2 diabetes. If he is experiencing any symptoms out of the ordinary, it’s important that he speaks with his doctor. Not all cases of low testosterone need to be treated, but it can be a warning sign for other health con-cerns.

District has incurred no debt from recent property purchase

I want to thank the Star/Journal for its un-biased reporting and timely responses to any typos that happen. It is important that cor-rections are given when they need to be. These typos are not anyone’s fault and if the proper information is commu-nicated then all should be good.

Speaking of commu-nication, a few have said that information from the district is not com-municated very well. They say that it is unrea-sonable to expect that everyone has a comput-er. To this point I agree, but for those that do have access to the inter-net it is a valuable tool to get information out.

It was also pointed out that not everyone buys the newspaper. I � nd this comment inter-esting, because the per-son making this com-ment did so in a letter to the newspaper editor. If they say they feel put-ting information in the newspaper does not suit their needs, why are they spending time writing to the editor of the news-paper? If what they say about people not buying the newspaper is true, then who will read what they have written?

The radio is a very ef-fective way to get infor-mation out. Advertising on the radio is costly though, and the same people that have nega-

tive comments around poor communication methods also worry about money being spent. The folks at Ka-mloops CBC and Radio NL have been great at giving interviews about important events and time sensitive topics here in Barriere. This has been a big help.

The issue of commu-nicating information to residents is a top prior-ity for the district, and an effective method that satis� es the needs of the majority of residents will have to be found.

Council announced recently that the district has purchased the large ex-grocery store, the small house next to it, and 2.4 acres of land be-side the Interior Credit Union on Barriere Town Road. Some may think that this has creat-ed a debt for the district. This is not correct, as the district has a reserve fund for the purchase of a municipal of� ce. This fund fully covered the cost of the purchase.

This purchase had been in the works for several years, as it is the land adjacent to the existing � re hall and any expansion of the hall would be dif� cult without more land. Previous attempted ne-gotiations met with fail-ure for many reasons. Recently the owners of the property, the HY Louie Company, agreed

to enter into negotia-tions with the district at very favourable terms. I want to thank all those involved for their hard work. These are never easy negotiations. The district was very fortu-nate that a deal could be struck.

At the recent Federa-tion of Canadian Mu-nicipalities conference a number of workshops were held that focused on infrastructure such as water mains. One such workshop present-ed the success stories of small communities that are getting more for their infrastructure dollars through asset management and in-novative infrastructure practises. Big words and phrases used to � ll in the gaps during the presen-tations. It boils down to simple concepts like bundling projects to-gether and doing all the needed upgrades. Not just patch things togeth-er and think you are sav-ing money.

The federal Gov-ernment also revealed more details of the Long Term Infrastruc-

ture Plan, which has $53 billion including $47 billion in new funding over the next 10 years. The new Building Can-ada plan includes the al-ready existing Gas Tax Fund, a renewed Build-ing Canada Fund with broader categories and a new incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for municipalities. B.C. municipalities will miss out on the GST one.

All the details will be announced later this year. The intake for grant applications will happen sometime after that, if the details can be ironed out. For local residents, and business owners that are in favour of waiting for Barriere to be given grant money from these programs to do needed upgrades, this should indicate the time frame.

New municipalities get grants. These are meant to pay for such costs as the transition of services. The work required now to acquire funding is very differ-ent. Success requires a change in focus. Change for some is never easy.

Canada’s Garden Day will be celebrated for the � rst time this year. It is intended to be an annual cel-ebration of public gardens and green spaces that will take place on the Friday before Father’s Day each year. Canada’s inaugural Garden Day will be this Friday, June 14.

Canada’s Garden Day is a commitment to cel-ebrate the role and many bene� ts of gardens in our communities as esthetic, environmental, recreation-al, cultural and tourism experiences. It is a perfect opportunity to celebrate all public gardens, whether botanical, educational, specialty, arboreta, or his-toric in nature.

Public gardens are enjoyable, low/or no-cost, beautiful places for families, children and gardening enthusiasts of all ages to visit. They provide impor-tant recreation and community venues while also serving as inspiring natural educational tools, infor-mative resources and examples of conservation and environmental stewardship.

Gardening has many health bene� ts, too. It can help alleviate stress and burn calories; it will help you limber up and move your muscles. Vegetable gardens are a source of healthy foods, while � ower gardens help create a scene of tranquility that can help you relax. Gardens are also important for the

environment. By capturing and � ltering rainwater, gardens help prevent potential contaminants from � owing into rivers, streams, lakes and other surface water sources. Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which helps reduce the ‘greenhouse effect’ we hear so much about lately. Gardens also teach us about conservation and the natural beauty of the world around us. Come out and visit Barri-ere’s Community Garden (behind the Library), or take the time to visit a neighbours garden, or sit outside and enjoy your own garden. For more info about this new National Day, visit www.canadasgar-denday.ca, follow Canada’s Garden Day on Twitter @CanadaGardenDay and Like it on Facebook.

WINTER ROAD MAINTENANCE RFP

The District of Barriere becomes responsible for roads maintenance this fall. In preparation for the upcoming winter season a Request for Proposals for winter road

maintenance has been issued.

The closing date on this RFP is June 24, 2013. Visit www.barriere.ca for more details.



Youth soccer looks to have a promising future in the community of Barriere, according to Chris and Kathy Matthews.

“In a recent survey sent out to elementary stu-dents we had over 90 youth interested in a soccer program in Barriere,” reported Chris Matthews, “Fourteen adults were willing to coach in some capacity.”

Due to the positive feedback received, Matthews says Barriere youth soccer is scheduled to have a fall program starting Sept. 7, through Oct. 12.

“Our goal is to provide fun, safe, inclusive, skill-developing activities to challenge and en-hance youth`s soccer abilities for ages four to 12,” noted Matthews.

Registration dates for youth soccer this fall are:• Barriere Elementary School, Monday, June

17, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.• Barriere Elementary School, Thursday, June

20, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.• AG Foods lobby, Sunday, June 23, 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. • AG Foods lobby, Sunday, July 14, 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. If you are unable to attend any of the above

registration dates you can alternatively obtain the form from Mrs. Matthews at Barriere El-ementary, and drop it off to school by June 28.

The cost of the program is $30 per youth (with the third, fourth, etc., child receiving a $5 discount). A t-shirt and insurance are included in the registration cost.

All registration closes on Aug. 9, so that there is enough time to order the t-shirts.

“We’re also hoping to have a coaching clinic this summer for volunteer coaches,” said Mat-thews, “We want to support coaching develop-ment so we can deliver the best instruction to each participant. We also welcome local sup-port/sponsors to help with funding initial equip-ment start-up costs and � eld rentals; we will need to purchase nets, balls and pinnies.”

If you would like more information on the youth soccer program, or would like to become a sponsor, contact Chris or Kathy Matthews at 250-672-0350, or email: [email protected].

Oh what a beautiful evening....everything’s going my way. Well, that isn’t exactly how the song goes but at my age I can sing it however I want. And not everything went my way. But I had a marvelous time with 35 other ladies gol� ng, gabbing and giggling on Tuesday, June 4.

We played from the white tees except for Hole #6 and #7. If we had played from the whites on those holes most of us would still be there hitting balls into the gully.

Debbie and I knew we had lost control of minds right from the start. After reminding a couple of arriving golfers to play from the whites we immedi-ately drove to the red tees on Hole #1. As we started to climb out of the golf cart we noticed that we had neglected to put Deb’s clubs on. So we hustle back to the clubhouse, got the clubs and met the rest of our four-some at the white tees.

We would also like to apologize to the group behind us. We got so engrossed in our conversations that we sometimes forgot to golf...and we never stopped laughing.

more attention to their gol� ng and it showed when it came time to hand out the prizes. Flight 1 winners spon-sored by Lexa Caterer were Debbie Pearce (low gross) and Susan Mitchell (low net). Flight 2 winners spon-sored by Carl’s Mar-ket Garden were Vicki Hoffer (low gross) and Angie Rainer (low net). Good to see that at least half of our foursome was paying attention. The low gross winner for Flight 3 was Emma Allen.

As usual, many prizes were handed out for the pin placements. Double winners were Susan Mitchell (Coun-try Store Antiques and Carol Patton, CGA), Judy Lane (Crystlee’s Hair Design and Sta-tion House Restau-rant), Carol Hindle (Rainer Custom Cut-ting and The Look Boutique), Susan Newberry (Bondar Forest Planning and Ron Wallace Truck-ing), Evelyn Lucas (AG Foods and Bar-riere A&W), and JoAnne Lyle (whose name I and others

having been spell-ing wrong for years)Knights Inn and Bar-riere Irly Building).

Single prizes went to Ashley Salle (Pot-tery by Ramona), Debbie Pearce (Barb and Carman Smith), Leslie Stirling (Shais Design), Emma Allen (Val Bella Studios), and Trudy Scarlett (Avril’s Garden). Vreny Kempter won the Barriere Massage prize for ‘most use of a putter’. Jeannie Web-ber did a phenomenal job with her putter (12 putts) to win the Bodi Mekanix prize.

I will miss the la-dies next week as hub-bie and I are off for a round of visiting with family and friends, but I am looking forward to the fun night on June 23. The format is a four person texas scramble.

I am on the high-way somewhere be-tween 100 Mile House and Williams Lake (no, I’m not driving) and I have no idea what the tee off time is, so please ask at the clubhouse when you register your team and reserve your golf cart. The theme is ‘the wed-ding’, in honour of my new position as Mar-riage Commissioner. So come dressed up as any member of the wedding party that suits you.


Drowning is the second lead-ing cause of preventable death for children younger than 10, but recent Canadian Red Cross research shows the majority of Canadian parents do not under-stand what is needed to safeguard children in, on and around the water. Statistics show that 90 per cent of children who drown in shallow water are not with a su-pervising adult.

“Children can drown quickly and quietly, and often in situa-tions where they were not expect-ed to enter the water,” said Dean-na Udy, Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Program. “Only one-third of children and youth who drown in Canada were tak-ing part in aquatic activities that parents typically see as risky, like swimming or wading. One-third of children drown in situations where they enter the water un-expectedly, like by falling from a dock or entering the water with-

out their caregiver’s knowledge.”Red Cross public opinion re-

search shows that Canadian par-ents signi� cantly underestimate children’s risk of drowning in shallow water:

· Ninety per cent of parents

with children younger than four say that water depth in� uences their level of supervision, while data shows that 40 per cent of children drown in water less than one metre deep.

· One in � ve parents in B.C. say they would allow a child under six to play near the water without a lifejacket on, yet 80 per cent of children this age who drowned in Canada had not intended to enter the water.

“With summer around the corner, we urge parents to under-stand the risks to children when they are in the water, and also when they are on or near it,” adds Udy.

The Red Cross is calling on all parents and adults to effectively supervise children by maintain-ing them within reach and within sight at all times.

By Melody BairdBarriere Elementary student2012 grade 4 Heritage Fair project

Donald James Edward Up-penborn, or ‘Tony’, was born Dec. 7, 1911, in Eden, Germany. Tony grew up in Berlin, Germany, with his mother Alice Parkinson, who was born in Brighton, Eng-land. Her parents were the own-er/operators of the Parkinson Steamship Line. Tony’s father, Ernst Uppenborn, was born in Hanover, Germany in 1874. He was an electrician. Tony learned a lot about electrician work, which helped him throughout his life. Tony had two brothers, John and Wilfred, and a little sister, Rosemarie.

Tony came to Canada in 1928, arriving � rst in Montreal, then took the train to Kamloops. Tony said the train ride was rough and tough. Each car had it’s own kitchen, and everyone cooked for themselves. There was a toilet in each car, and seats that could fold down into beds. The train was very crowded.

Tony lived with his brother John at Frog Lake when he � rst came to Barriere, but moved to Vancouver after a short time where he found a job making har-nesses. When that job ended, he returned to Barriere and worked all around. He worked for room and board, and a can of tobacco a month if the farmer could af-ford it. He then took on a lease on Smith Lake and took a shot at running a � shing camp, but after the war he let the lease go.

Tony joined the army in 1941 in Kamloops, B.C., the day they bombed Pearl Harbour. From there he went to Vancouver, then Quebec, and then they sent him to France, Belgium and Hol-land. He received his Cana-dian Citizenship papers while in France. He did special jobs for the Canadian army as he spoke three different languages. He was � uent in German, English and French.

He drove the army truck in Germany for the Canadian army. One time he was told to take a load of boots to the dump. But because he knew families in Germany had little or no money, he went to a pub and had a beer. He mentioned to the bartender that he had an un-locked truck full of army boots out back. When he had � nished his beer, he went out to his truck and it was completely emptied of the boots, so he drove the truck back to the base feeling very good about what he did. Once had to hang glide into Holland on a mission. He also took part in the Battle of Normandy.

While in Holland, he met the love of his life, Ruth Johanna Johanyer from Dortmund, Ger-many. She had been in Hol-land looking for her father, as her home in Germany had been bombed and she wanted to tell him.

After the war, Tony returned to Holland to � nd Ruth and accompanied her back to Ger-many. It took three years to get Ruth and their son Hans’s papers � nalized. Tony returned to Bar-riere in 1945, and Ruth and Hans got to come in 1948 on the Bea-ver Brae ship with the other war brides and children. They trav-eled to Kamloops by CPR.

When Tony returned to Bar-riere after the war, he went back to stay at his brother John’s in Dar� eld, and went to work with Bert Cleaveley in the saw-mill. This mill was later moved to upper Barriere.

The house Tony and Ruth bought was built at the old Meeks power plant in 1948. It was a small hobby farm with a couple of cows, some chickens and ducks.

Tony and Ruth had two more children once in Barriere, Peter in 1949, and Heidi in 1953.

Tony and Ruth were active members of the Legion, Branch 242, and took part in many Ok-toberfests. They were active

dancers and were given honor-ary membership to the Kam-loops Big Band Society. They loved to camp, and Tony was famous for his beer batter pan-cakes. He loved to � sh and hunt; he canned and smoked all his own meat. Tony also grew a very large, beautiful garden and some of the most beautiful � owers in Barriere.

In the early 50’s, he quit work-ing for Cleaveley and started work for the BC Department of Highways. When he started the Department had a camp in Louis Creek. There was a crew of eight, with a couple of dump trucks which they turned into ploughs for winter work. In the early days the salary was $206 a month. They worked seven days a week, evenings and nights, if necessary. Tony retired in 1978.

When he retired, he took up woodwork as a hobby. He made up all his own beer, champaign, wine, and rootbeer for his grand-children.

I was lucky enough to live in my Opa’s house for the � rst nine years of my life. I loved it there.

In 1978, after Tony retired, he and Ruth returned to the home-land for a wonderful two month visit. They stayed and visited with Ruth’s cousins Alfred and Eva. They traveled a lot in Ger-many to places that neither of them had seen before.

Tony passed away on Decem-ber 27, 2004.

Youth soccer looks to have a promising future in the community of Barriere, according to Chris and Kathy Matthews.

“In a recent survey sent out to elementary stu-dents we had over 90 youth interested in a soccer program in Barriere,” reported Chris Matthews, “Fourteen adults were willing to coach in some capacity.”

Due to the positive feedback received, Matthews says Barriere youth soccer is scheduled to have a fall program starting Sept. 7, through Oct. 12.

“Our goal is to provide fun, safe, inclusive, skill-developing activities to challenge and en-hance youth`s soccer abilities for ages four to 12,” noted Matthews.

Registration dates for youth soccer this fall are:• Barriere Elementary School, Monday, June

17, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.• Barriere Elementary School, Thursday, June

20, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.• AG Foods lobby, Sunday, June 23, 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. • AG Foods lobby, Sunday, July 14, 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. If you are unable to attend any of the above


The cost of the program is $30 per youth (with the third, fourth, etc., child receiving a $5 discount). A t-shirt and insurance are included in the registration cost.

All registration closes on Aug. 9, so that there is enough time to order the t-shirts.

“We’re also hoping to have a coaching clinic this summer for volunteer coaches,” said Mat-thews, “We want to support coaching develop-ment so we can deliver the best instruction to each participant. We also welcome local sup-port/sponsors to help with funding initial equip-ment start-up costs and � eld rentals; we will need to purchase nets, balls and pinnies.”

If you would like more information on the youth soccer program, or would like to become a sponsor, contact Chris or Kathy Matthews at 250-672-0350, or email: [email protected].

Oh what a beautiful evening....everything’s going my way. Well, that isn’t exactly how the song goes but at my age I can sing it however I want. And not everything went my way. But I had a marvelous time with 35 other ladies gol� ng, gabbing and giggling on Tuesday, June 4.

We played from the white tees except for Hole #6 and #7. If we had played from the whites on those holes most of us would still be there hitting balls into the gully.

Debbie and I knew we had lost control of minds right from the start. After reminding a couple of arriving golfers to play from the whites we immedi-ately drove to the red tees on Hole #1. As we started to climb out of the golf cart we noticed that we had neglected to put Deb’s clubs on. So we hustle back to the clubhouse, got the clubs and met the rest of our four-some at the white tees.

We would also like to apologize to the group behind us. We got so engrossed in our conversations that we sometimes forgot to golf...and we never stopped laughing.

Proud supporter of the North Thompson Star/Journal Monday, June 18, 2012 www.starjournal.net A11

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

(Above) Ecki Manthei of Vavenby shows one of the many ant-lers he has carved that are displayed in his home gallery.

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!”

Here’s the situation. It is 3 a.m., and the motel was buzzing with photographers packing camera bags and tri-pods in vehicles. Even in my tired fog, caused by the long, eight-hour drive the day before, and a late evening talk-ing with photographer Andrew Wozniaka till midnight, I identi� ed at least three other groups from the one I was with heading off for the Steptoe Butte overlook to wait for sunrise to photograph the patterns on the pic-turesque dunes of the Palouse.

Located south of Spokane, Washington, the Palouse (pe-looss) region of northwestern United States encom-passes parts of south-eastern Washington, north central Idaho and extends south into northeastern Or-egon. The peculiar and picturesque dunes, which characterize the Palouse prairie formed during the ice age by soil blown in from the glacial outwash plains to the west and south, the Palouse hills are now mostly actively farmed random humps and hollows.

I had joined four others for an Aar-on Reed photogra-phy workshop, “The Palouse – Exposure

Northwest”. One could just visit the Palouse and wander around without an organized group, but having a leader that knows the area extremely well, if nothing else, will save time wandering from site to site.

Our excursion be-gan early in the morn-ing with a drive to Steptoe butte. Other photographers that had traveled there from all over North America joined us and some even came there from other parts of the world, although I am sure I was the only Ca-nadian on that morn-ing.

There were toe-to-toe tripods waiting for the sun to work its way across the manicured rolling dunes of the Palouse. As the sun rose a colourful land-scape was illuminated, shutters were released, and the excitement be-gan. It took me a while to really look into the landscape and isolate patterns. I am used to photographing land-scapes that include mountains, trees, lakes and rivers from my part of the world, and it took me a while to watch and see just the patterns of the undu-lating landscape.

The interesting light only lasted for about an

hour, then the patterns caused by the sun’s low horizontal light were gone and it was time to look for other sub-jects. Reed had picked out other places to go and until late in the afternoon we spent our time photograph-ing deserted buildings and derelict cars and trucks.

While we stopped I saw a tractor plow-ing the miles of � elds. I liked the dust clouds surrounding it so I ran out in the � eld and made several expo-sures. When the farmer � nally drove to our lo-cation he stopped (cov-ering us all with a thick coat of dust in the pro-cess) and got out to say hello. We had been photographing a par-ticularly distinctive old clapboard building and I asked him how old it was. His comment was, “Well, the house I live in was built in 1901 and my aunt lived in this house long before that”.

Our � nal destina-tion of the � rst day was Palouse Falls State Park and the spectacu-lar Palouse falls with its 186 feet (57 meter) drop. The scenic and impressive falls can’t be seen until you are nearly on top of it. The broad, broken pla-teau of black basalt

that stretches out to the horizon falls away and there they are: the thundering waters of Palouse Falls pound-ing down into a circu-lar bowl carved out of the cinder-black rock.

We wandered along the precarious edge making pictures till the sun dropped below the horizon around 9 p.m. Actually the best time to make images of the falls was just as the sun went down because the contrast between the bottom and the top was pretty drastic.

The itinerary of sun up to sun down pho-tography was repeated on the second day. I will say the long days were tiring, but I’d do it again. Well, after a good long rest.

Spending time get-ting tips on landscape photography from a photographer of Aar-on Reed’s caliber was great as was the cama-raderie of the others I met on those two days. And the opportunity to photograph the Palouse was an excep-

tional experience.These are my

thoughts for this week. Contact me at www.enmanscamera.com or email to: [email protected]. Stop by En-man’s Camera at 423 Tranquille Road in Kamloops. And if you want an experienced photographer please call me at 250-371-3069. I also sell an interesting selection of used photographic equipment.

Summer Reading ClubSummer Reading ClubTNRD

This summer, kids will take to the skies, voyage through space, and fol-low authors to other worlds. The Bar-riere Library invites kids of all ages to join the fun, by joining this year’s BC Summer Reading Club: Up, Up and Away! Sign-up is free and starts at the library on June 25. Kids receive a special kit to keep track of their read-ing. If they read for 15 minutes a day throughout the summer, they’ll be awarded a collectible medal.

The Summer Reading Club moti-vates kids to read regularly (or be read to), so it helps to maintain or improve

reading skills while school is out. It makes reading fun, too, by inviting kids to read what they want. The li-brary staff can help kids � nd just what they like, whether it’s a print book, au-diobook, e-book, or magazine.

The Summer Reading Club reach-es more than 85,000 B.C. kids every summer, and is sponsored by the Brit-ish Columbia Library Association, with funding assistance from Libraries and Literacy, Ministry of Education.

For more information, and to learn about other free library programs and contests for kids, call the Barriere Li-brary at 250-672-5811, or visit the li-brary at 4511 Barriere Town Road.

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.

June 13 - June 19, 2013

You could be feeling under the weather this week, Aries. Even if your to-do list is a mile long, you need to take some time to recu-perate before getting back to business.

Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to find the answer you’re look-ing for.

Libra, you have much to learn, but you cannot cram it all into one week. There is no crash course on life. Make the most of a get-away opportunity.

Capricorn, changes at home are in store and you may be feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is perfectly under-standable as you await the news.

Aquarius, vacation plans may have been elusive until now, but you finally have the funds and the time to take the trip you desire. Your traveling partner is still up in the air.

Life experience is your advantage, Taurus. When your company is looking to fill a position, they will most likely hire from within. Make the most of this opportunity.

Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but oth-ers are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

You can’t seem to focus on one thing for very long this week, Scorpio. You might have to spend a few days clearing your mind before you can refocus on the tasks at hand.

Pisces, a new season inspires you to make changes and recon-sider old relation-ships. Call it a late spring cleaning of your life.

Gemini, just when things seem hope-less, a small ray of light shines through and you find a solu-tion to your prob-lem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don’t know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

Sagittarius, you are not one to let an obstacle block you from your goal. Re-think your strategy and you will soon find yourself back on the path to success.

GROUP OF THE WEEKEach week a group or volunteer(s) are recognized in this space for their contribution to our community.

If you, your service organization or group would like to recognize an individual please call the North Thompson Volunteer and Information Centre at 672-0033.

If you’re traveling with your pet this sum-mer and plan to fly to your destination, make sure you familiarize yourself with the airline’s pet embargo policy before you book your flight. During the summer, many airlines don’t allow pets aboard flights, as checked baggage or as cargo, when temperatures are high. Airline pet embargoes are in the best interest of your pet and play a vital role in ensuring his safety.

Not only is air travel stressful for your pet, but it can also pose serious health risks. Be-ing confined in his carrier for long periods of time during the hottest months of the year is potentially dangerous for your pet and may lead to dehydration and heatstroke. In addi-tion, certain breeds, such as brachycephalic (snub-nosed) dogs and cats, are susceptible to pulmonary distress when temperatures are extreme.

According to the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA), embargoes protect pets from exposure to ex-treme heat while they’re in the holding areas and terminal facilities, while moving them be-tween terminals and aircraft, or while they’re on an aircraft awaiting departure.

“Heat embargoes are critical during the sum-mer months,” says Sally Smith, past president of

IPATA. “They protect our pets and keep them safe and comfortable while traveling.”

Since airlines impose embargoes to ensure your pet’s safety, there are no exceptions. However, if an embargo is in effect on the day of your flight, the airline will work with you to re-route your flight, if possible, or schedule your flight for another day.

Since each airline has a different summer pet embargo policy, visit TripsWithPets.com and review our Airline Pet Policies. And don’t forget to review our Pet Travel Tips for Flying and check out the airline-approved carriers at the TWP Store.

Your pet’s safety is your top priority. Choosing an airline that fits your needs can help ensure the flight is a positive experience for both you and your pet.

At this time of year, you should inspect your pets regu-larly for ticks, especially if they have been outside in areas with woods or tall grasses. Aim to thoroughly comb your pets’ fur within four to six hours of expo-sure to these environments; this helps prevent ticks from attach-ing to and feasting on your pets.

If you � nd a tick, it’s im-portant to remove it as soon as possible. The longer ticks are attached, the greater the chance of disease transmission. Do not touch the tick – wear gloves and use tweezers. Carefully grasp the exposed part of the tick’s body near your pets’ skin. Pull gently until the tick lets go. Dispose of the tick by wrapping it in sev-eral layers of tissue and � ushing it down the toilet. Don’t crush, burn, or suffocate the tick; these methods can spread infectious bacteria. See your vet right away if you don’t want to remove the tick yourself.

There are insecticides and in-sect growth regulators for � eas that are also effective against ticks. Ask your vet for informa-tion about whether these prod-ucts are suitable for your pets.

If your property has a lot of brush and long grasses, think about clearing the area where your pets spend their time. Re-moving leaves, lawn clippings, etc., can also help to reduce the likelihood of ticks. Keep your furry friends safe and free from ticks this season

By Julian Fantino, Canadian Minister of International Cooperationand Dominic Mishio, Canadian country director The Global Poverty Project

Troy Media - Canada’s role in fighting polio, once a dreaded dis-ease in our own communities, hearkens back to the earliest days of the struggle to find a cure. Canadian scientists helped create the Salk vac-cine in the 1950s. We were the first country to implement a successful polio vaccine program nationwide, becoming a model for public health programs aiming to protect children from this disease. Canada was the first country to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. And we have been a leader ever since.

With the help of many partners, this global effort has eliminated 99 per cent of polio cases. But, as they say, the last mile is always the hardest, and now is not the time to rest on our laurels. In a globalised world, with the frequent movement of people, no communicable dis-ease can be truly isolated or contained. As long as polio remains active, it remains a threat to us all. Slowing our efforts at this critical window of opportunity means the difference between seeing it gradually spread back into countries where it has been eliminated or finally meting out a long overdue coup de grâce to completely wipe polio off the planet forever.

In the process of ridding the world of this crippling disease, we would simultaneously create the architecture for routine immunization to deliver other vaccines for some of the hardest to reach children in the world. Immunization saves the lives of millions of children every year, and remains one of the most cost-effective health investments.

At the recent Global Vaccine Summit, held in Abu Dhabi, Canada announced a historic $250 million contribution to polio eradication in support of the Endgame Plan. This comprehensive six-year plan maps out how we can reach a polio-free world by 2018. This new commit-ment will help the Global Polio Eradication Initiative implement strat-egies and programs to eradicate polio and strengthen health systems, especially in the three countries where polio is a persistent problem: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. It will also support efforts to en-sure the supply of quality immunizations and the use of innovative technologies for immunization programs, including infrastructure for disease surveillance and response systems.

With the end of this terrible disease in sight, we applaud all those who have helped the world come this far, including Canadian Rotari-ans and organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which are steadfastly committed to seeing all children vaccinated against the disease. Following their outstanding decades-long effort which has to date raised over a billion dollars, Rotarians have again engaged Ca-nadians and raised significant funds to fight polio in the past several months. The Government of Canada and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match $2.27 million raised by 25,000 Canadian Rotar-ians, for a total contribution of $6.8 million.

Furthermore, the End of Polio campaign, an initiative of the Glob-al Poverty Project, has engaged more than 1200 Canadians across the country, together with Diaspora, community leaders, and Parliamen-tarians, voicing support for Canada’s commitment to polio eradica-tion.

But dollars alone are not enough to carry us across the finish line. It will require community-wide support to enable the success of vac-cination efforts. While success is on the horizon, access to those who most need vaccination remains a major challenge. There are many po-lio immunization workers who still face precarious situations and the threat of violence for their work. Canada has called on religious, gov-ernment, and community leaders at home and around the world, to further buttress efforts to eradicate the disease by promoting science based information and safe access for immunization workers.

If we fail to eradicate polio we run the risk of polio returning, in-fecting hundreds of thousands of children. We are at a crucial, oppor-tune moment in history. By investing and taking action, we will dem-onstrate what we can collectively achieve when we understand what is truly at stake. We must move to safeguard the health of our children and future generations. Canada together with the End of Polio cam-paign will remain committed to achieving a polio-free world.

911 Golf Tournament

On August 24, 2013, the An-nual Barriere 911 Emergency Services Golf Tournament will be taking place at the Chinook Cove Golf Course.

We are proud to carry on this tradition and support lo-cal charities in Barriere and area.

Over the years, our group has raised thousands of dol-lars in support of local chari-ties and non-pro� t organiza-tions. Last year we provided $6,000 in bursaries and dona-tions. We funded school pro-grams, two scholarships, kids community garden, Rural Liv-ing Expo, Barriere Youth Curl-ing, and Barriere Recreation Society.

All used the funds to en-hance programs in place, start new programs and provide area youth with diverse opportuni-ties to allow all to participate.

We are aware that your busi-ness receives many requests for sponsorship throughout the year, however, we also know that you realize that an event such as this cannot function without sponsorship.

We are looking for sponsor-ship in any form, such as cash, merchandise, or services for our prizes and silent auction.

All sponsors will receive rec-ognition in the welcome pack-age for all teams, on each of the dinner tables, and in the lo-cal newspapers.

In addition to this, you may receive one of the follow-ing, depending on the level of sponsorship.

A $100 or more sponsorship will provide you with a hole sponsorship sign.

A $200 or more sponsor-ship will provide you with a sponsorship sign at the putting green located at the clubhouse where all players will be reg-istering and participating in a putting competition and hang-ing around while waiting for the evening dinner and prize presentation.

This will allow you more ex-posure to all players and other people attending the event that are not gol� ng.

A $500 or more sponsorship will allow you to put up sig-nage at the putting green and clubhouse during dinner and prizes which will give you full

exposure throughout the event. This level of sponsorship

will also allow for a two person paid entry into the tournament to form part of a team ($110 value, not including cart).
