Furry love for Pilots N Paws program Harry Ha Ha is a truly magnificent little dog that has had a tremendous rise to fame. His owner Shirley McCaffrey is quite the impressive lady herself. Shirley’s passion for animal welfare made for a very captivating and powerful conversation. Tears and laughter flowed freely from both interviewer and interviewee during a chat at a local dog park on a sunny morning. In the summer of 2012 Shirley, aka “Harry’s mom” had seen a poster for Pilots N Paws Canada (PNPC), a registered national charitable organization that provides free domestic air transportation for abandoned, abused and injured animals. The group is registered with 208 rescue organizations and shelters throughout Canada and helps both wildlife and companion animals get to adoptive families, veterinarians and other safe places. The group launched by Gini Green, a Canadian dog trainer and rescue advocate, is completely operated by volunteers, including 250 pilots who volunteer their
evacuated dogs during the 2003 North Thompson fires. Harry was being nursed back to health after the BCSPCA had rescued him and a number of dogs abandoned by a puppy mill in the forest outside 109 Mile. All cracked skin and bones and covered in lesions and scabs, with serious mange, Harry hardly had any hair on his frail little body. In fact, “Harry Ha Ha” was a tongue in cheek moniker given to the hairless pup. In the end, Harry was the only survivor out of all the rescued dogs and Shirley happily became his caretaker. She estimates that it took a solid three years for Harry to heal emotionally and physically. She was often woken in the night by Harry howling and crying in his sleep but as he learned he was very loved, safe and secure, his nightmares stopped. He also has long-standing food issues; she says that Harry treats planes and time to help. every meal as his last. Wanting to get involved, Now Harry Ha Ha, the once Shirley volunteered her 30+ wild and wounded pup found years of visual design skills wandering in the woods is a for their promotional mate- famous dog, featured on all rials; took a photograph of Pilots N Paws Canada broHarry wearing little goggles chures, banners, posters, cofin the cockpit of a friend’s fee mugs, stamps and bumper plane and the rest, as they stickers.

Philanthropist makes million-dollar donation for women’s breast health Women in Kamloops are one step closer to a Rapid Access Breast Health Clinic thanks to the single largest donation ever received by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. On Thursday, July 7 it was announced that Rae Fawcett generously donated $1 million dollars towards making this clinic a reality. The owner/operators of Tod Mountain Thoroughbreds and the Kelson Group, Rae and the Fawcett family are well known in Kamloops for their philanthropic ways. Due to wait times for diagnostic testing, currently women in Kamloops and the surrounding communities are experiencing a delay between detecting an abnormality in their breast and receiving the possible diagnosis of breast cancer. There is considerable stress and anxiety associated with this waiting time and it can be very difficult
for women—particularly those from out of town—who may require multiple appointments spread out over the course of many weeks with their family physician, screenings and specialists to confirm a diagnosis. This donation will allow Interior Health and the medical staff at RIH to begin to improve the patient experience and reduce wait times with a new Breast Health Clinic, which would provide women in our community and surrounding areas with seamless access to coordinated breast cancer diagnostic screening and testing at one location. A Breast Health Clinic would reduce the wait times for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients by streamlining the current process involved in diagnosing breast cancer. The Clinic would also provide patients with an appointment, which
would include a clinical examination with a GP, diagnostic imaging (mammography and/or ultrasound) and a biopsy if needed that day or the following day. Patients would receive most results of their testing during their appointment. Biopsy results would be provided within a week of the appointment. On average, 135 women in the Thompson Nicola region are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. In BC there were an estimated 3,400 new cases last year. Across the country it is estimated that 25,000 women and 220 men were diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2015. That is an average of 68 diagnoses every single day. One in nine Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime. This is the most common cancer diagnosis among Canadian women.

RCMP warn of phishing scams Recently Kamloops RCMP has been receiving an increasing number of complaints regarding fraudulent emails that look like legitimate banking/business requests for personal information. Phishing is the creation of email message and web pages that are replicas of existing, legitimate sites and businesses. These web sites and emails are used to trick victims into submitting personal, financial or password data. These emails often ask for information such as credit card numbers, bank account information, social insurance numbers and passwords that will be used to commit fraud. Within a phishing email, you may be requested to click on a link that takes you to a fraudulent site or pop-up window

where you are asked to submit personal and financial information. The goal of criminals using phishing is to lead consumers to believe that a request for information is coming from a legitimate company. In reality it is a malicious attempt to collect customer information for the purpose of committing fraud. You can protect yourself by doing the following: Do not reply to any email that requests your personal information. Contact the business or financial institution immediately and report your suspicions. Do not click on any attachments; they can contain viruses and spyware. If you are unsure of the authenticity of an email, delete it. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Agency.

I am your friend
the mankini
When you are sad, I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the jerk who made you sad. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. When you smile, I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in. When you are scared, I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you’re not. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining. When you are confused, I’ll try using only little words. When you are sick, stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don’t want whatever you have. When you fall, I will laugh at you, but I’ll help you up. This is my oath... I pledge it to the end. ‘Why?’ you may ask, because you are my friend. Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth!
Sense of humour
The boss joined a group of his workers at the coffee urn and told a series of jokes he’d heard recently. Everybody laughed loudly. Everybody, that is, except Mike. When he noticed that he was getting no reaction from Mike, the boss said, “What’s the matter, Mike? No sense of humor?” “My sense of humor is fine,” he said. “But I don’t have to laugh. I’m quitting tomorrow.”

The vase
the purrrfect summer
A guy goes to a girl’s house for the first time and she shows him into the living room. She excuses herself to go to the kitchen to make them a few drinks and as he’s standing there alone, he notices a cute little vase on the mantle. He picks it up and as he’s looking at it, she walks back in. He says, “What’s this?” She says, “Oh, my father’s ashes are in there.” He says, “Jeez...oooh....I...” She says, “Yeah, he’s too lazy to go to the kitchen to get an ashtray.”
House call Cat at the vet
Smoky, our family cat had gotten injured and needed to stay at the vet clinic for several days. Our three children were so concerned that several times a day, my wife and I had
to reassure them that Smoky was safe and being cared for by the “animal doctor.” Finally, we got the call that Smoky was ready to come home. Driving to the vet’s, it became clear that our four-year-old son, Ryan, had been doing a lot of thinking about Smoky’s absence when he asked, “Mom, what kind of animal is the doctor?”
A young mother paying a visit to a doctor friend and his wife made no attempt to restrain her five-year-old son, who was ransacking an adjoining room. But finally, an extra loud clatter of bottles did prompt her to say, “I hope, doctor, you don’t mind Johnny being in there.” “No,” said the doctor calmly, “He’ll be quiet when he gets to the poisons.”

Advancements in technology Three men are sitting naked in the sauna. Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The first man presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly. “That’s my pager,” he says. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.” A few minutes later a phone rings. The second man lifts his
palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains, “That’s my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.” The third man, feeling decidedly low-tech, steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes he returns with a piece of toilet paper extending from his rear. The others raise their eyebrows. “I’m getting a Fax,” he explains
I was at the races A man was sitting quietly reading his paper one morning, peacefully enjoying himself, when his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the back of his head with a huge frying pan. Man: “What was that for?” Wife: “What was that piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Marylou written on it?” Man: “Oh honey, remember two
weeks ago when I went to the horse races? Marylou was the name of one of the horses I bet on.” The wife looked all satisfied, apologizes, and goes off to do work around the house. Three days later he is once again sitting in his chair reading and she repeats the frying pan swatting. Man: “What was that for this time?” Wife: “Your horse phoned.”

echo stargazer Dear Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) With confidence riding high, it’s time to get out and make some money. You’ve entered into an astro-money cycle so dust off those dreams you’ve been secretly holding on to and see if any of them strike gold. Dear Leo: (July 23 - Aug 22) Secrets reveal themselves when you least expect it. The spotlight has you in a reflective mood but love is urging you to look towards the future. Buy another lottery ticket. Dear Virgo: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You’ll be chatting up a storm all week spreading news of your next adventure. A message from the past warms cold hearts. Double-check your bank balance. Dear Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) If that office romance didn’t work out, don’t worry because your friends are here to pick you up and get you back into the game. It’s time for a recent project to bring in rewards. Love is waiting somewhere social. Dear Scorpio: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Take a deep breath and count your lucky stars. Energy and confidence return with a passion to reattack those dreams. Love is looking from a distance. Dear Sagittarius: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Keep a close eye on the kids this week as trouble could easily pop up unexpectedly. The travel bug is beginning to bite but for now a low energy week has you taking a time out for yourself. Dear Capricorn: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) It’s been a busy couple of weeks on the social scene but it’s time to get back to work. Projects with team goals have the best chance for success. Watch for the unexpected at home. Dear Aquarius: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Love stops in to say hello. Yes, you’re attracting summer smiles and you feel great. Delays will trouble a busy week but you’re too happy to stress. Dear Pisces: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Finances could be shaky so keep a close eye on your nest egg. Creativity has been high recently but it’s now time to put those ideas into action. Love favours a trip to the gym. Dear Aries: (Mar. 21 - April 20) It’s another week of the unexpected in joint finances so stay focused. Watch your weight as recent stress has you double dipping in the desserts. Love enters a playful cycle. Dear Taurus: (Apr. 21 - May 21) A blast from the past hits directly at your heart. Is it time to mend the fence and reunite your flames? The home office makes a profit. Dear Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) A spotlight on your finances is encouraging you to find new ways to pay the rent. Spread your word and ask for help. Money arrives through communication.

In the hospital A politician awoke in a hospital bed after a complicated operation, and found that the curtains were drawn around him. “Why are the curtains closed,” he said. “Is it
night?” A nurse replied, “No, it is just that there is a fire across the street, and we didn’t want you waking up and thinking that the operation was unsuccessful.”
