Barriere residents kept a watchful eye last Saturday on the mountain across the North Thompson River and just southwest of Barriere when smoke was spotted Saturday. The cause of this fire, called the E of Parky Mountain Fire, was suspected to be lightening. This was not an interface fire and no structures were being threatened. By Saturday evening the fire had spread to 17 hectares with active firefighting crews on the scene. By Sunday the fire had increased to an estimated 25 hectares and was still active.

The E of Parky Mt. Fire was reported Saturday, being visible to residents of Barriere and surrounding area. However, Monday proved to be the turning point, and it was reported 100 per cent contained after hard work from ground crews, airtankers, two pieces of heavy equipment and helicopters. Resources used on the fire included 36 firefighters. As of Tuesday
morning smoke from the fire was still visible from Highway 5. The entire region is still at extreme risk for wildfire. Members of the public are reminded to use extra caution with cigarettes and other flammable materials when outdoors– no one wants a repeat of 2003.

Quick response from Barriere Fire Department prevents forest fires from starting
MP Cathy McLeod hands out Canadian flags to youngsters at the Canada Day Celebrations.
A one vehicle car crash on Agate Bay Road on Sunday, June 28, came very close to setting the adjacent forest on fire when the vehicle rolled and became fully engulfed in fire. Two people escaped from the vehicle with non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital by ambulance. Residents of the area commented they were impressed with how quickly the Barriere Volunteer Fire Department attended with two trucks on scene. The fire department was called out again on July 4 to the Glen Grove area to deal with a fire caused by a downed power line. This resulted in the volunteer firefighters spending a good part of the day extinguishing the blaze in the surrounding vegetation and securing the site.

Fire help arriving from Ontario and Australia By Tom Fletcher Black Press Firefighters and aircraft from Ontario arrived in B.C. Tuesday to help deal with the growing wildfire threat, and more reinforcements are on their way from Australia. Ontario sent 70 firefighters and specialists to Abbotsford and Cranbrook for deployment in the Coastal and Southeast fire centres, with two skimming aircraft, a “birddog” plane and an air attack officer arriving at the Kamloops fire centre. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said he expects further help to arrive from Australia, with more personnel coming from New Zealand to assist fire crews in Alberta.
More assistance has been requested through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which sent B.C. crews to Alaska, Alberta and Yukon earlier in the season. The B.C. Wildfire Service recorded 23 new fires Monday, with 184 active fires in the province. As of Tuesday there were 40 homes under evacuation order and another 920 on alert. Smoke advisories continued Tuesday for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea to Sky corridor, with new advisories for south and eastern Vancouver Island from Campbell River to Victoria, including the Port Alberni area where the Dog Mountain fire continued to grow. The Hawaii Mars water bomber based at Sproat Lake was undergoing testing and crew
training, expected to be ready for service by Thursday. Dr. James Lu of Vancouver Coastal Health said air conditions have improved in southwestern B.C., but smoke advisories remain in place. Very young, elderly and those with chronic lung and heart conditions or diabetes are advised to stay indoors and reduce physical activity, with air conditioning or filtering if available. A province-wide outdoor fire ban was extended to include the western strip of Vancouver Island known as the “fog zone” as the forecast of hot and dry weather continued. Kurtis Isfeld of the BC Wildlife Service said he is expecting about 30 new fire starts a day for the “foreseeable future.”
Spending caps recommended for local elections in province By Tom Fletcher, Black Press VICTORIA – Candidates for a council seat in a small community should be able to spend no more than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing. For larger communities, a population-based formula would limit a mayoral campaign for a city of 150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candidates limited to half that. The formula would limit a candidate for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to about $50,000, while Surrey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor. The small-town limits apply to communities up to 10,000 residents. For larger ones, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger than that. Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart, who chaired the committee as it toured the province, said the lim-
Pinantan fire protection petition results for
its are aimed to make running for local government “accessible and affordable,” while recognizing the vast difference between political campaigns in large cities and those in small communities. The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years. The committee wants third-party advertisers limited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year. B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador in placing spending limits on at least some of their local elections.

Forest burns north of Vavenby
A helicopter uses a bambi-type bucket to drop water in an effort to control a fire north of Vavenby on Saturday afternoon, July 4. The fire is located near Montana Creek Forest Service Road a few kilometres from Vavenby and clearly visible from the centre of that community. Residents were much relieved Monday morning when it was reported the fire had been contained and forest firefighters were now in the mopping up stage.

North Thompson Star/Journal The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD)reported on June 30, 2015, the results of a petition to establish fire protection in the Pinantan/East Paul Lake area would not see the project proceed. At the request of the Fire Department Association, the TNRD had distributed petitions to the 436 properties within the proposed Pinantan/East Paul Lake fire protection service area to determine support for service establishment and loan authorization of up to $350,000. The TNRD states that by the submission deadline on June 30 at noon, only 142 petitions had been returned by property owners supporting the establishment of a fire protection area in Pinantan/East Paul Lake and borrowing for construction of a fire hall and purchase of equipment. Two-hundred-and-eighteen (218) submissions were required for the proposal to proceed.

Mandatory increases to CPP contributions not supported by Canadians Whether or not Canadians should be forced to save more for retirement — an issue that affects the pocketbooks of all working Canadians — is shaping up to be a big federal election issue. Déjà vu all over again? So let’s start with a little history. For the past decade, a growing awareness of the massive unfunded liabilities of public-sector pension plans, which tend to be far more generous than those offered in the private sector, has been putting pressure on politicians to do a better job controlling public-sector compensation. The union response, led by the Canadian Labour Congress, was to mount a campaign to convince finance ministers across Canada to consider a mandatory increase to the Canadian Pension Plan. Pushing for a mandatory CPP increase distracts attention from overly generous public-sector compensation plans. It also helps reduce the unfunded pension liability of public-sector pension plans because when the portion that comes from CPP is increased, the obligation from the publicsector pension fund is lower. The CLC was successful at getting a CPP increase on the agenda of a meeting of finance ministers from across Canada in 2010 and subsequently getting some support for increasing CPP from the federal government and many of the provinces. By 2013, it looked like an increase might have the support it needed (two-thirds of the provinces representing two-thirds of the population) to be approved. At this point, small business owners really started lighting their hair on fire as it looked like they were headed for a payroll tax increase with no public consultation. Currently, Canadian employers and employees each pay 4.95 per cent of payroll costs (on earnings between $3,500 and $52,000) to the existing CPP. Increasing these costs wasn’t seen as palatable to business owners or their employees. Survey results from over 8,000 business owners in 2013 indicated that a mandatory increase in CPP would cause businesses to consider wage freezes and reduce investments in the business. An Angus Reid public opinion poll, conducted at around the same time, confirmed that Canadians agreed with small business owners that there were better ways for the government to help Canadians save for retirement. Only 18 per cent felt that introducing a mandatory increase in CPP was the best option, while 54 per cent supported tax relief. Both business owners and the general public indicated that forcing them to save more for retirement would take money from other important priorities, including, ironically, other ways of saving for retirement. In December 2013, the issue was temporarily put to bed when former federal finance minister Jim Flaherty declared the time was not right for a CPP increase. Now, it is back as an election issue with the federal NDP, Liberals, and Green party all supporting a mandatory CPP increase while the Conservatives oppose a mandatory increase but would consider allowing Canadians to voluntary increase their CPP contributions. Another important wrinkle: After there was no agreement to increase the CPP contributions, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne decided to “go it alone” and introduce an Ontario Retirement Pension Plan that would increase employee and employer contributions by up to $1,643 each, a 40-per-cent increase on existing CPP premiums. So it’s a safe bet this will be a hot topic when the premiers get together this month (July 15 - 17) in Newfoundland for the Council of the Federation meeting. It’s another safe bet that small businesses across Canada will protest strongly if the premiers decide to join Wynne in her policy folly. Helping Canadians save for retirement is widely supported. Forcing them to do it through an increase to a mandated government payroll tax is not. Laura Jones is Executive Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

Hazy, lazy crazy days of summer To the editor; Gosh it is hard to think about an upcoming national election while in the midst of summer. With so many things to see and do, summer trips, barbecues and parties, the beach and reunions, it is the furthest thing from our minds. However, some of us might find that we have more time on our hands - an excellent opportunity to ask our local MP’s about their party’s platform. I, for one, want to know which party will commit to getting us closer to the goal of .7% of GNI for international aid spending. Please note that .7 % is less than 1%! Can we not find it in our hearts and in our pockets to give those less fortunate a hand-up? Our aid contributions stand at just 0.24% of GNI, and have dropped from $5.65 billion in 2012, to $5 billion in 2013, to $4.2 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the UK has passed a bill that enshrines in law its commitment to spend 0.7% of its gross
national income (GNI) on aid every year, making it the first G7 country to meet the UN’s 45-yearold aid spending target. In 2013, only five other countries – Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates – had met or exceeded the 0.7% aid spending target. The Netherlands had consistently met the target, but fell short in 2013. Canada must prioritize international development by committing to increasing our aid spending to .7% of our Gross National Income by the year 2020. C’mon, pull yourself away from the barbecue or hammock for just a few minutes, or maybe an hour and do a little research so that you are armed for that fall election. Better yet, let your MP know your thoughts while he or she is home enjoying those hazy, lazy crazy days of summer. Connie Lebeau Victoria, B.C.

How about dandelion soup? To the editor; Nothing — not grass nor chickweed — grows more profusely everywhere in the world than dandelions. Moments after the last snow disappears, dandelion leaves appear like a child’s drawing of a pointy Christmas tree. Yellow faces overtake lawns, fields, roadsides and ditches. They congregate in churchyards and farmyards and sneak into backyards. They creep under back alley fire escapes, picnic tables and deck chairs, reflecting in glass patio doors and the shiny limbs of seated children. They insinuate themselves between cracks in the sidewalk and patio blocks, sidle next to aristocratic irises, invade rockeries, leap into plant pots and window boxes, strangle petunias and threaten lobelias and intimidate geraniums. They lurk beneath hedges, under flower beds, vegetable rows and fruit patches. They gather in doorways, lean against lamp posts and dive under dumpsters and trash bins. They embroider the edges of apartments, hotels and vacant city lots. Everyone tries to root them out with weed weasels, pointy tools or nasty chemical concoctions, hoping the fragments of sinewy taproots left behind won’t propagate. I think we should let their blooms take over, pick their leaves and make salads. Put them in egg sandwiches and quiches. Enfold them into chicken
dandelion casserole and dandy cream soup. Steep them with ginger to make tea and ground roots into dips and sauces. Cook them with chopped onion and minced garlic to stuff red peppers topped with parmesan cheese. Pickle them in mustard sauce with beans and cucumber seeds, squash them into relish with vinegar, tarragon, carrots and green tomatoes and roast them with turnips. Their blossoms could be rendered into jam or syrup, sweet as honey, fermented for wine and herbal beers, folded into chocolate chip cheesecake and dipped in flour and cinnamon for fritters. Harmonious diagonal feng shui rows of dandelions could be planted and harvested. New apothecaries would spring up, with magical potions to preserve youth and promote well-being. Powders could be pressed into tablets and caplets with names like Magic Lion, Tigger Energy Powders, Peter Pan Youth Nectar and Baby Boom Extender. Their juice could be used for elixirs and tinctures to neutralize free-roaming radicals, reduce inflammation, blast sticky plaques, clogs and blobs and boost flavonoids. Topical skin preparations would fade freckles and brown spots, remove corns, calluses and warts. Milky sap could be congealed into non-allergic rubber gloves, dental dams and mosquito repellent to ward off West Nile virus.
Dandelions could be a new muse for artists and architects — replacing sagging old Venus, the over-used moon, worn-out singing birds and tired roses. Landscapes of yellow diagonal lines would vanish into complementary blue skies. Paintings of still life with dandelions, prolific in vases, companion to oranges, apples, and fine china placed on draped tables in front of stained glass windows would hang above the couch. An art dano architecture of dandelion motifs could spring forth, ring eaves and roof tops, accompany gargoyles on church corners, decorate arcades, festoon windows, lintels and doorways and replace the acanthus flower atop Corinthian columns. They could ornament door knockers, beautify balustrades, mosaic floors and rival William Morris wallpapers with arabesques of dandelion leaves and flowers. We could celebrate rites of passage — weddings, graduations and funerals — shredding their blooms for confetti, adorning at the centre of tables and birthday cakes and draped over coffins. We should celebrate the dandelion’s spring glow, its transformation into feathery lightness and its gourmet, medicinal and artistic gifts. We should dedicate festivals to the dandelion and applaud its refusal to be deleted, depleted or denied. Wendy Weseen Kamloops, B.C.

DISTRICT OF BARRIERE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Council of the District of Barriere hereby gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing July 13th, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the District of Barriere Council Chambers, 4936 Barriere Town Road, Barriere, BC to consider the following amendment to:
No taxation of feminine products; now drug store chain increases prices on same
District of Barriere Zoning Bylaw No. 111, as amended, by changing the Zoning on Lot 1, Plan EPP30434, DL1325, KDYD PID 029-566-410 (as shown in grey on the map below) from C2 (Yellowhead Corridor Commercial) Zone to dual zone C2/R with a site specific exception to limit the permitted residential use in the R Zone to a detached dwelling unit up to a maximum size of 1,400 sq.ft.
To the editor; Progress was made when the B.C. provincial government recognized that feminine products are a necessity and a very costly burden for women, and legislated that they are to be non-taxable starting July 2015. Greed became evident when it was brought to my attention that a drug store chain throughout Kamloops (and B.C.) are raising the prices on all feminine products effective July 1. Has this chain reasoned they will take advantage and scoop in extra revenue that the government has forfeited since women are forced and used to paying whatever the price. The timing of the corporate policy is strategic and alarming. I cannot do anything about it except to warn women to be aware of sudden price increases, and shop and move your business to the businesses that best represent your interests. Now that prescriptions are online, moving to another drug store is easy. I am the mother of two daughters and seeing as how the chain is next to other feminine product and drug providers, we are moving our business elsewhere which we estimate is worth more than
Proposed Use: There is an existing residence on this newly subdivided lot and the owner wishes to keep the use residential for the foreseeable future.
$14,000 per year for purchases of prescription drugs plus over-the counter drugs, vitamins, make-up, some food items, hair products, gift cards and gifts, seasonal items, magazines etc (they do not sell clothing). Buyer be aware. Victoria Weller Kamloops, B.C.

Collision at Louis Creek last month required air ambulance On June 17, at approximately 11:46 a.m., Barriere RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision involving a Northbound pick up truck, and a Southbound SUV on Highway 5 in Louis Creek. The accident resulted in injuries to occupants of both vehicles which required the BCAS air ambulance helicopter to land on the highway to transport a patient. Various Barriere resources, including Barriere RCMP, BC Ambulance, Barriere Search and Rescue, Argo Road Maintenance, and North River Towing responded. In total, three patients were transported to Royal Inland Hospital with varying degrees of injury, all of whom have now been released from hospital. Charges under the Motor Vehicle Act have been laid against one of the drivers. The Barriere RCMP would like to remind everyone to be aware of those around you on the roadways.

With all the talk about vitamin D during the past couple of years, it’s understandable to be a little confused over how much we need each day. It used to be that 400 IU daily was the right amount. Now, doses of 2,000 IU to 4,000 IU are being recommended and some sources say as much as 8,000 IU is the answer. The right answer is probably in the 2,000 IU range. What is known is that people that are overweight should take a little more. If you have questions about vitamin D or any other vitamin, our pharmacists can give you the answers.

Plans to build a destination waterpark at Kamloop’s Tournament Capital Ranch have hit a snag, but the project is not dead yet. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told council on Tuesday the province’s Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has signed off on some of its plans for the ranch lands, but needs more information on the waterpark proposal, including a more detailed layout. “They’re prepared to review that if and when we bring that back and we’re talking to the proponent around that,” McCorkell said. The city plans to lease 11.5 hectares of the 72-hectare ranch to a private developer for the waterpark project. The ALC did give the nod to a request to exclude land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
File photo: KTW
The Tournament Capital Ranch sits west of Highway 5 in Rayleigh. for a picnic area and walking trail, and for an exhibition site for the Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA). McCorkell said in order to move forward, the ALC wants the city to rezone all of the ranch lands for agricultural use instead of public space, start farming on 28 hectares of the land already earmarked for food production and complete a plan with the KXA for its portion of the site. The KXA plans to construct several buildings on the site to
host trade, agricultural and rodeo events and already has ALC permission to host some rodeo events, including the recent B.C. High School Rodeo Finals, in advance of construction. McCorkell said the city will put out a request for proposals for the food production portion of the ranch and has invited community gardening groups and its own farm incubator program to submit ideas. Staff will have a revised plan to re-submit to the ALC in the fall.
Fined, but he keeps horses By Cam Fortems Kamloops This Week A provincial court judge has allowed a Barriere resident to keep three horses after being convicted of causing an animal to be in distress. Jody Huffman pleaded guilty to the charge under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. A veterinarian ordered two of his sick Peruvian Paso horses to be immediately shot because their condition was so dire and they couldn’t be handled. Judge Stella Frame agreed a-week-ago Tuesday with a submission by Crown prosecutor Alex Janse for a $1,500 fine and ban on owning animals outside the three replacement horses Huffman now has in his possession. Quoting from a veterinarian’s report, Janse said the two mares’ hooves were without proper care, infected and the horses were tangled with a weed “to such a degree I have never seen before.” There was also suggestion the animals were underfed. Defence lawyer John Hogg argued his client was in the midst of deep withdrawals from a decade-long addiction to prescribed opiate painkillers stemming from an accident in 2003. The SPCA began investigation late in 2013 and obtained a search warrant to enter Huffman’s property and inspect the animals. The attending veterinarian ordered Huffman to shoot the two animals. They could not be given lethal injection because they were never
saddle-broken and could not be handled. Both suffered from infections and problems from inadequate hoof care that causes extreme pain. The veterinarian acting for the SPCA gave the lone stallion treatment and Huffman cut the weed, burdock, from its main and tail. It was put down the next year, however, due to its advanced age. Frame did question whether Huffman should be allowed to keep the horses. “The amount of burdock is so thick it looks like they have a hive of bees on them,” she said. But, the sentencing judge said she would agree with Huffman keeping the three new horses — but no other animals for the next five years — based on a care plan. It will allow inspection at any time by SPCA staff and Huffman must have veterinary and farrier records available. Hogg said the three horses were dropped on Huffman in 2000 by a friend. The trainer who specializes in the breeds kept them, but never worked with them. Hogg entered extensive medical-file information showing Huffman’s battle with opiate addiction. When the SPCA swooped in, Huffman was in the midst of kicking the habit and was in deep withdrawal, suffering the worst symptoms. “He was feeding them, but not looking after them . . .” Hogg said. “He was a mess.”

Emergency Services turn out for public info gathering North Thompson Star/Journal The 2nd annual Emergency Service Gathering held in Barriere’s Fadear Park last Sunday was more than appropriate for the season due to the current wildfire risk throughout B.C. The event was organized by the Barriere First Responders Society, featuring information booths, emergency vehicles display, a 50/50 fundraiser draw, a bouncy castle for the kids and a hamburger and hot dog barbecue by donation. Information booths were staged around the oval by the Bandshell, including; Barriere First Responders Society, Kinder Morgan, Canadian Red Cross, CN Police, RCMP, BC Ambulance, and Code4armour. Funds raised from the 50/50 draw and the barbecue go to support the operation of the Barriere First Responders Society.

This week’s Theatre Camp has been a great success and youngsters are looking forward to what week two will offer at the Ridge.

strategy. Drills will be run to work on skill and there will also be scrimmaging. Each day will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., a packed lunch and water bottle is required however, there will be a snack offered each day. Netball is a sport derived of basketball; it is played by two teams of seven players on a rectangular court. There are raised goal rings at each side of the court, with each team trying to shoot it into the goal. Players each have their own position and each position is assigned a different area of the court. Players wear bibs with their positions written on them so that the umpire knows which area of the court they are allowed in. The ball cannot be held for more than three seconds at a time before it must be passed or shot, and dribbling is not permitted. Netball is most popular in commonwealth countries, mainly in schools and is predominantly played by women. If you have any questions or would like to register your kids in the camp please call 250-672-0033.

AG Foods supports Youth Soccer Barriere Youth Soccer’s 2015 spring season was a great success, with 132 soccer players ages four to 13 years, 17 coaches and countless volunteers helping to take photographs, bring healthy snacks, set-up and take down soccer equipment, organize and hand-out/collect soccer jerseys, make gatorade for players, referee soccer matches, help with registration, help with communications, help with fundraising, etc, etc.... The association greatly appreciates everyone for participating, and say everyone helps because “the kids are worth it!”. The Barriere AG Foods May Community Rewards fundraising event raised over $3000 for this group. Barriere Youth Soccer collaborated through the season with Clearwater Youth Soccer for game play and a fun-filled year-end tournament, there was great skill development seen by all. The association says they are now planning for Spring 2016 for U4 to U13 (unless many people want more), and they are looking to play against more clubs for U7 to U13 players. The group is also looking for volunteers to take on roles such as; coaches (coaching course is given), team manager, jersey manager, marketing, fundraising, referee manager and/or refereeing (courses are available for new

Are people headed for a hot weather heart attack? Submitted The hot summers in Canada can induce heart attacks and strokes in individuals who are at risk of heart disease. Summer is here and it is bringing people outside to be active; however, it is important to keep our heart safe when the temperatures rise. Here are some tips from the Heart Fit Clinic to help educate people to prevent hot weather heart disease. 1. First thing is to make sure your fitness is up to par for the activity you wish to engage in. Work slowly and get your fitness level up over the warm days. 2. Make sure people warm up and cool down after activities. Gradually bring your heart rate up and gradually bring your heart rate down for activities. 3. Hydration is key. When people are thirsty it is too late. This is already a big symptom of heat exhaustion. When people experience heat exhaustion, it makes people’s hearts weaker putting them at risk for a heart attack. Heat exhaustion can leave peoples hearts weak along with rapid pulses. People can also experience fast and shallow breathing, muscle cramps and/or dizziness and nausea. 4. Dress for the heat. Wear loose and breathable clothing, wearing a hat, and sunglasses. This includes good footwear and socks. 5. Pay attention to how you feel. Take regular breaks or even try to be active near dawn or dusk to minimize the hottest point of the day. 6. Most important is to understand cardiovascular risk. Yes, high blood pressure and diabetes should be controlled with general physicians, however people can still be on the path of a heart attack or stroke.

18 ladies don’t finish round
SPORTS
By Leslie Stirling
Junior program back on course at Chinook Cove Golf and RV North Thompson Star/Journal The 2015 Junior program at Chinook Cove Golf and RV started last Monday. “The program has been in place for the last 15 years and has seen numerous kids benefit,” says Chinook Cove Golf and RV owner Susan Mitchell. The program starts at 5:30 p.m. on Mondays (excluding holidays), and the drop-in fee for the Junior Program is just $12.50, which includes 90 minutes of non-competitive golf instruction, clubs, balls and prizes. Mitchell says this year Chinook Cove is also offering Free Golf for kids aged 13 to 17 years on Mondays between 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Preferences will be given to local kids first, and tee times are recommended. Proper footwear is required – flat soled shoes or runners preferred, no sandals

Programs for young golfers have started for the season last Monday at Chinook Cove Golf and RV, with a group of eager young golfers participating. or soccer cleats. “We would love to be able to provide clubs, but we only have a limited supply,” says Mitchell. However, she notes that if anyone would like to donate used clubs in reasonable condition the course will see that deserving kids get them.
“Chinook Cove would love to provide an opportunity for kids in this community to experience the game of golf,” said Mitchell, “This is not an organized event that has competitive scoring, there is no entry fee and no prizes. “The benefits of this sport are numer-
ous; it improves mathematical skills, kids learn the integrity of honest score keeping, they have the benefit of physical exercise, and golf is a very social sport. As they progress they also benefit from the challenge of improving their skill, a lifelong skill that is multi-generational.”
Myram brings home B.C. rugby award Barriere teen, Jamie Myram, is perhaps best known in the world of sports for her barrel racing, steer riding and bull riding skills. However, most recently she has branched out into a sport that she is already bringing home provincial awards from. Rugby has garnered her enthusiasm, so much so, that she is a member of the Thompson Okanagan Rugby Alliance (T.O.R.A.), based out of the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh. Myram and her team have just returned from the 2015 Provincial Regional Rugby Championships held in Burnaby last weekend. They successfully competed against 40 U18 women’s teams, where they won a well-earned bronze medal for their efforts. Submitted photo:

The saying goes “Men (in this case ladies) plan and God laughs”. Thirty-nine ladies headed out for a round of golf on Tuesday June 28, but only 21 finished their round. The other 18 got thoroughly drenched and settled for a delicious supper, some prizes and an excellent evening of fun and friends. We had a number of birthdays to celebrate so of course that meant cake! Low gross and net prizes were picked up by some of the ladies that hit the golf course early in the day. In Flight 1 Carol Hindle scored 45 to win low gross and Trudy Forsythe scored 46 to win low net, In Flight 2 Audrey Rilcoe picked up low gross with a score of 53 and Betty Baillie won the low net with a score of 54. Vreny Kempter won low gross for Flight 3. Susan Mitchell won the birdie pot with a birdie on Hole 9. Babes Shanko not only finished her round but she took the least number of putts (15) to do
Ladies Golf Report so. Sue Paulhus picked up the most putts prize from Interior Savings Credit Union using a total of 29 putts. Double prize winners were Trudy Forsythe and Catharine Phillips. Trudy had a long drive on Hole 1 (AG Foods) and another on Hole 3 (Barriere Timber Mart). Catharine had a KP on Hole 4 (EBL Ventures) and landed closest to the tree on Hole 7 (Pottery by Ramona). Cathy Theriault (one of the birthday girls) had a long putt on Hole 1 to win the Armour Mountain Office Services. The Barriere A&W prize went to Darlene Nickull for her long putt on Hole 2. On Hole 3 long drives were made by Audrey Deveau (Flight 2 - Barriere Massage) and Wanda Amos (Flight 3 - Crystlee’s Hair Design). Hole 4 KPs went to Debbie Legaree (Bondar Forest Planning) and Leslie Stirling (Carl’s Market Garden). The
KPs on Hole 6 went to Audrey Rilcoe (Ron Wallace Trucking) and JoAnne Lyle (Stamer Logging). Marla Muldoon had a long drive on Hole 5 (Country Store Antiques) and Doreen Landry also had one (Estylo Hair Design). Sue Paulhus had the short drive on Hole 5 (Knights Inn). On Hole 8 Carol Clark had a long drive (Rainer Custom Cutting), Susan Mitchell had a long putt (Sam’s Pizza) and Sarah Watts had a long putt (Station House Restaurant). Carol Hindle finished her round off with a long drive on Hole 9 (Val Bella Studio). Prizes from Carman and Barb Smith went to the ladies who drove their balls into the gully. In preparation for our annual fundraising for cancer research the ladies picked up pledge sheets. If you would like to make a donation feel free to talk to any of our golfers. If you are planning to golf in the Golf for Cancer night in August and would like a pledge sheet give me a shout at 250-672-5706. Let’s make it our most successful year!

Railway marks 100 years in North Thompson Valley away if commerce and transportation ran north-south and not east-west.
Eleanor Deckert One hundred years ago, in 1915, when the stretch of rails between Valemount and Kamloops was finished, this rugged valley, isolated and cut off by so many obstacles and challenges, became linked to the rest of the world. What was life like for valley residents before, during construction and after the completion of the railroad through the North Thompson Valley? The story of the railroad intersects with so many other stories: immigration and race relations, world events and technology, geography and place names, living conditions and the law. To mark this centennial, this writer will describe this richly textured piece of local history. If you have not yet had the experience, perhaps sometime soon you might buy your ticket on the passenger train and travel through this scenic mountain valley of British Columbia. Thinking of importance of railroads It would be safe to guess that some of the food you are eating, the clothing you are wearing, the lumber that supports your house, your imported electronics, even your vehicle and many other objects you own have all at one time been cargo on a train. It’s hard to realize that everyone in the world relied on muscle
Gold Fever fuels more exploration The California Gold Rush of 1849 and the gold strike in Barkerville of 1858 were followed by sudden interest in the Klondike in 1896. Hastily, populations moved, resources were needed, trade was imperative, but transportation was still difficult. Pressure from these discoveries was leverage to focus government attention on developing the west and north. A diorama at the Miniature Museum in Victoria shows the town of Yale as it appeared in 1885. Construction of the railroad through the Yellowhead Pass and down the North Thompson Valley was completed in 1915, but settlements along the route likely looked quite similar.

power and lamp light until steam and electricity were harnessed. Machinery was slowly improving until technology suddenly leaped forward when, in the early 1800s engines could safely be operated using steam under pressure. The Iron Horse, as railroad engines have been called, brought changes to all parts of society: mines and farms, factories and shipyards, cities and wilderness. Together with the telegraph, continents seemed to shrink as messages, goods and people could be transported across vast distances in a small amount of time. As the Age of Steam Engines dawned, development of North America
rapidly expanded as opportunities previously out of reach became realized. Small railroad lines began in the more populated east. But what would be possible if there were a transcontinental railroad? More than a symbol Today, the railroad across Canada might seem to be merely a nostalgic symbol of Canadian unity, stability, efficiency and safety. However, the historic reality is very clear that without the railroad, there would be no Canada “A mari usque ad mare.” (Canada’s official motto: “From sea to sea.”) The effect of Canada's borders Since the American
Revolution in 1775, the United States had been expanding its territories. The War of 1812 threatened British holdings and in the mid-1800’s the slogans “Manifest Destiny” and later “Fifty-Four-Forty or Fight” propelled US claims in Oregon, Texas and the Spanish and French areas of the continent. The purchase of Alaska from Russia directed attention to the north and west. British North America and vast uncharted areas of what is now western Canada were vulnerable. Boundary disputes about western and northern lands had to be settled, both on paper and maps, and also guarded against bleeding resources
The 1860s-1880s are a pivotal time Perhaps there is no time like the 1860s-1880s that indicates quite so sharply the differences between the east and the west. It is as though distance from east to west was actually time travel, and the further west one moves, the more primitive the living conditions. In the 1860s, the Civil War was in full force in the United States. Railroads moved troops, supplies, the wounded, the President. In 1862, the Overlanders are the first white family to travel across what is now Canada from east to west by cart, on foot and by river raft to arrive in Kamloops. Meanwhile columned banks and mechanized industry, university campus and grand railway stations were built in
Toronto. Surveyors hack through devil’s club in the North Thompson Valley while the wealthy in Ottawa dress in silks from India. Furs trapped in the Rockies wrap ladies in Montreal. Every student of Canadian history knows that there is an inseparable link between the Confederation of Canada in 1867, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, and the railroad across Canada. In 1870, when Canada formally united with British Columbia, the agreement between them contained this pledge: “The Government of the Dominion undertake to ... secure the completion of such a Railway within 10 years from the date of the Union.” North - South Geographically, the mountain ridges and their river valleys run north to south. Before the railroad, rivers were the main routes for transportation. Since the early days, fur trade by canoe brought heavy loads along rivers, lakes and bays. By the 1880s, the vast forest resources, the discovery of mineral deposits and developing agriculture in the west call for the need for reliable transport of cargo. The easiest way to build is in the north-south river valleys. But this will drain away commerce from Canada and build
up companies in the USA. East - West The journey was so hazardous, either over land through the barricade of the mountains or by ship around the tip of South America. Once the proposed railway is complete, east and west will both benefit when settlement, commerce and security will flourish. Yet it seems a Herculean task to scale mountains, search for and survey likely routes from east to west and accomplish so great a feat. In order to draw one man-made line across the map marking the Canada-USA border and protect the Canadian economy, it became necessary for men and machinery to cut a line though the forest, across marshlands, measuring, estimating, blasting rock, tunnelling under mountains. Sweating men and horses, steam driven machinery, slowly the work was accomplished and two parallel lines of steel reached across the continent. Canadian Pacific Railway comes first It took longer than estimated, but at long last the anticipated completion of the Canadian Pacific Railroad coast to coast became a reality. The 1885 last spike at Craigellachie, British Columbia marked this significant turning point in history. Look for more railroad history in upcoming Valley Voices.

VICTORIA - Beginning this September, boys and young men up to age 26 who are at a higher risk of contracting human papillomavirus virus (HPV) can receive the HPV vaccine at no charge. B.C.’s publicly funded HPV vaccination program, which is provided to girls, will be extended to at-risk boys and young men - those who have sex with males or who are street-involved. Providing the vaccine for all girls protects heterosexual boys as well, but leaves at-risk boys and young men unprotected. This change will address that gap. “The human papillomavirus virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “It can lead to serious health problems and could develop into an HPV-related cancer. Our vaccination program will help protect all young British Columbians from cancers and other diseases caused by HPV infection.” Extending B.C.’s HPV program to at-risk boys and young men provides protection to those who are most vulnerable to HPV infection and related disease. Girls-only HPV vaccine programs where more than 50% of girls are vaccinated has protective effects on heterosexual boys and young men but has little to no impact on boys and young men who are at higher risk. “Among males, men who have sex with men carry a disproportionately high burden of HPV infection and a significant burden of HPV-related cancers,” said Dr. Gina Ogilvie, Canada research chair in global control of HPV-related disease and cancer. “The targeted expansion of B.C.’s HPV vaccination program is an important step to controlling the spread of HPV infections and ultimately HPV related cancers.” “It is clear that some men are more at risk for HPV related cancers than are others,” said Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s provincial health officer. “As most of these infections are vaccine-preventable, extending B.C.’s HPV immunization program
to this at-risk demographic is a costeffective way to provide protection to the people who need it most.” At-risk boys, young men who have sex with men and parents who are concerned their sons may be vulnerable can arrange for the HPV immunization by visiting their local public health unit. This program will also be delivered through specialized clinics and programs for street-involved youth. The Gardasil vaccine will be used in this HPV program. Gardasil protects against infection from HPV types 16 and 18 that cause about 70% of cervical cancers, 80% of anal cancers and other cancers of the mouth, throat, penis, vagina and vulva. It also protects against infection from HPV types 6 and 11 that cause about 90% of cases of genital warts. Vaccines, including Gardasil, are only approved for use in Canada if they are proven to be safe and effective. Since the HPV vaccine was approved, 175 million doses have been provided worldwide. On-going monitoring of the vaccine shows it continues to be a low-risk option to help prevent HPV. The Ministry of Health has developed “Setting Priorities for the B.C. Health System”, an over-arching strategy to create a more sustainable health system. As part of this, a series of policy papers, including “Delivering a Patient-Centred, high performing and sustainable health system,” is focused on improving the health of British Columbians through effective health promotion and disease prevention strategies like B.C.’s immunization program, which protects British Columbians from up to 16 vaccine-preventable diseases, saving countless lives and preventing illness.

Summer day camps – just $2 per day
North Thompson Star/Journal
Summer day camps for kids for just a twoonie a day will be running at the Ridge in Barriere throughout July. Three of the camps are being hosted by Barriere and Area Literacy Outreach, the North Thompson Volunteer Centre and Thompson Valley Players. “This is the second year in a row we have been able to bring affordable and fun summer camps for the youth in this community,” said Barriere’s Literacy Outreach Coordinator Jill Hayward, “The camps have been set up to offer a number of fun and innovative approaches that make learning new things extremely enjoyable for the kids, and of course happy kids make for happy parents.” Hayward says parents should register their children in advance so that the paperwork can be out of the way before camps start, but you can also do it on arrival at the camp. Cost of the day camps are just a drop-in fee of $2 per day. “We have numerous fun and interesting subjects that keep the kids coming back for more,” said Hayward. “Barriere and Area Literacy Outreach has joined with NTVIC and Thompson Valley Players for the theatre camp that has been running this week
where the kids have a had a great time and the play they have created will be performed for the Communities In Bloom Judges when they come to the community later this month. This coming week we move into two camps that are specially prepared for youngsters of kindergarten age to those no older than having completed grade 2. Our facilitator Dawn McCormick (Mrs. ‘M’) has a wonderful program prepared for the participants who will also enjoy a healthy snack each day in the camp.
