(L to r) Communities In Bloom judges, Evette May of Clinton, and Don Alberg from Qualicum Beach, spent July 19 touring Barriere as they evalu-ated the community.

Two judges for the provincial Communities in Bloom program vis-ited the town of Barriere on July 18 and 19, to evaluate the municipality for the 2012 competition. Prior to their arrival area residents created a hive of activity throughout the community as they mowed grass, weed-wacked, and in general put the finishing touches on the town’s appearance as a whole. Judges however, look at a number of criteria, including tidiness, environmen-tal action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, turf and ground-covers, floral displays, and community involvement.

Other communities entered in the provincial CIB program are Agassiz, Cache Creek, Chetwynd, Clinton, Kelowna, Lake Country, Logan Lake, Mackenzie, Merritt, 100 Mile House, Salmon Arm, Sooke and Vernon.

All participating communities receive a rating from the judges of one to five ‘Blooms’. The community with a top five-bloom score (one in each

population category) may receive an invitation to participate in the following year’s national program. All participants are promoted within B.C. and nation-ally, and are invited to attend the pro-vincial Awards Ceremony which will be hosted for 2012 at a CIB conference in Kelowna, Sept. 21 to 23.

The community of Barriere hosted a welcome to the judges barbecue on Wednesday evening, and the judges then spent the next day touring throughout the town with tour guides Councillor Virginia Smith, and District CAO Colleen Hannigan. Stops on the tour included; the Wildfire Dragon Monument and Spirt Square, Barriere Farmer’s Market, Sunset Heights/Mountain Road, the ball diamonds, a river walk and look at the cemetery, lunch at the community garden, Yellowhead Pioneer Residence and grounds, Teacher’s, Glentanna and Green Tree subdivisions, drop in at municipal hall and the North Thompson Volunteer Centre youth program, the North Thompson Museum, and the North Thompson Fall Fair facility - including the companion garden and the Agriplex.

Learning to under-stand and work togeth-er was the focus of a recent meeting between the Adams Lake Indian Band and the Village of Sun Peaks.

On July 9, Chief Nelson Leon of the Adams Lake Indian Band, and Mayor Al Raine of Sun Peaks, along with their respec-tive councils, concluded the first Community to Community forum between the two

groups. This was a two day forum, with the first day held at the Adams Lake Indian Reserve located near Chase, and the second day held in Sun Peaks.

The meetings includ-ed a tour of the respec-tive villages, and a pre-

sentation about the key issues at each commu-nity. The meetings were facilitated by Erin Vieira and Mike Simpson of the Fraser Basin Council.

The purpose of these meetings was for the elected representatives of the communities to

get to know each other better, and learn about the issues facing each community. The meet-ings were informal and friendly.

Through the dialogue process, many common issues were identified that could be worked

on together to improve the relationship between the two. Both groups of community lead-ers committed to work together on issues that could be resolved in the short term, and more importantly, to continue to meet together to talk about bigger issues.

Their goal is to put together a framework for future discussion, which will allow each com-munity to move forward on unresolved issues, while acknowledging and being respectful of the claims of the First

Nations bands and the interests of residents at Sun Peaks.

According to Mayor Raine, “These meetings were the first important steps in understanding each other’s community aspirations, the meet-ings were very produc-tive and well facilitat-ed.”

Chief Leon added, “It is important that we continue to meet, as there are still many unresolved issues. It was a good start, and we look forward to future meetings.”

Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations

Amendments to the Occupiers Liability Act to help prevent resource road closures and reduce the possibility of injury-related lawsuits are now in effect, as the general public heads into the backcountry to enjoy B.C.’s wilderness this summer.

B.C. has an estimat-ed 450,000 kilometres of resource roads that provide commercial and recreational links to vast expanses of the province’s backcountry. Currently roads that do not access year-round communities are some-times closed to the pub-lic after an industrial user no longer needs the road.

Terry Wardrop, ATV Association of BC, says, “We use these roads, both new and old, and feel they should be left open whenever environ-mentally possible. As recreational users, we’re willing to accept reason-able accountability in return for the ability to

enjoy our sport in a sus-tainable manner.”

The amendments will help keep more back-country roads open by establishing that people using resource roads of their own accord do so substantially at their own risk.

In addition to lower-ing the duty of care owed by the Crown and road maintainers, the revised legislation shifts the onus for personal injury insurance coverage to third-party users and brings the government’s resource road policy into line with policies covering rural agricul-tural land and marked recreational trails.

“We support these amendments because they will keep more

back country roads open for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation. The B.C. Wildlife Federation can provide liability insurance to its members through clubs, direct members and programs such as the outdoor passport,” commented B.C. Wildlife Federation president Bill Bosch.

“These changes are an important first step

to simplifying the regu-lations covering B.C.’s vast network of resource roads. Reducing the pos-sibility of injury-related lawsuits will encour-age road maintainers to keep roads open and preserve access to B.C.’s wilderness areas,” said Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson.

Board to audit West Fraser Mills forestry operations in

North Thompson ValleyForest Practices Board

The Forest Practices Board will audit the forest practices of West Fraser Mills Ltd. on Forest Licence A18694 in the Kamloops Timber Supply Area, starting July 23, 2012.

The audit will look at harvest-ing, silviculture, protection, road construction, road maintenance and deactivation, and operational plan-ning that took place in the past two years for compliance with forest practices legislation.

West Fraser Mills Ltd. operates under this licence in two areas. One is located east of Bonaparte Lake and west of the North Thompson River, between Kamloops and Clearwater. The other is east of

the North Thompson River near Vavenby.

Once the audit work is completed, a report will be prepared, and any party that may be adversely affected by the audit findings will have a chance to respond. The board’s final report and recommendations will then be released to the public and government.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recom-mendations directly to the public and government.

The board audits forest and range practices on public land, as well as appropriateness of government enforcement.

Guest Editorial;

Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician — even for a blink of an eye?With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away,

a number of MLAs are leaving politics. While it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, it is indeed a decision that often pays lucrative dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize.

According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation figures, Dave Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80.

The CTF estimates Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, one that will rise to $115,700 when he turns 80. All that for 17 years in office. The MLA pension plan is indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes.

More maddening is the fact the B.C. Liberals, under then-leader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable pension plan, one in which the taxpayer would add $1 for every dollar the MLA contributed.

In 2007, however, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a trough-laden pension.

Political pension plans at the provincial and federal levels are a disgrace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement funded well paid by taxpayers who can barely get by.

Residents pay; free ride for others

No money woes for MLAs

To the editor;Is it a coincidence that the recent proclama-

tion by Premier Christy Clark redefining “clean energy” for three multi-billion liquid natural-gas (LNG) corporations created unexpected wealth for a select few shareholders of Progress Energy Resources Corp.?

This LNG corporation has ownership in one of the three LNG projects identified in Clark’s defini-tion that burning natural gas is “clean”.

Progress Energy Resources Corp (PRQ) traded at $11.58 prior to the premier’s announcement. One week after the announcement, the company was sold to a Malaysian purchaser for $ 20.45 per share ,equating to a 77 per cent increase on the existing $11.58 share price.

The total value of the sale was $5.5 billion. The one-week gain equalled $2.4 billion enjoyed by previous shareholders of PRQ.

The carbon tax on gas of seven cents per litre still applies to every B.C. resident.

This is a formula to ensure residents contribute $30 per tonne to the province for contributing to greenhouse-gas emissions.

The three corporate LNG projects favoured by our premier will emit 20 to 30 per cent of B.C.’s total greenhouse-gas emissions by 2016 and will likely not pay anything for their pollution.

If they were taxed like the general public, their

release of 20 megatonnes of greenhouse gas at $30 per tonne would contribute $600 million of carbon tax per annum, which could be directed toward the research for reduction of greenhouse gas or to the health-care budget.

Once again, the population of B.C. will be sub-sidizing multibillion-dollar polluting corporations.

The explanation by Environment Minister Terry Lake is that his B.C. Liberal government can’t drive business from the province by applying the carbon tax.

Lake’s claim isn’t accepted in Alberta, where that province taxes every corporation producing more than 100 kilotonnes of greenhouse gas. The tax equals $15 per tonne of greenhouse gas emit-ted.

Alberta families driving to work or picking up necessities for their living are exempt from the emissions tax. Alberta recognizes oil and gas busi-nesses won’t leave the province since that is where the resources lie.

This application of tax has Alberta focusing on the large polluters, not the insignificant ones.

The B.C. Liberal government also claims the carbon tax is rebated to British Columbians.

Page 66 of the B.C. Budget confirms this claim is true — with the caveat that 59 per cent of the rebate is paid to profitable industries and corpora-tions. ...continued on page 7

To those behind Communities In Bloom for Barriere;

Kudos to you all for your leadership and hard work. In my opinion, it has paid off “In Spades”.

I took a bit of a tour tonight, walked through both the gar-den at the Fall Fall and our Community Garden and how won-derful it is to see the pride in ownership and the transforma-tion that has taken

place as a result of Communit ies in Bloom, at the gardens and indeed, through-out the town.

It is amazing and heartwarming to see the effort that so many have taken to show off our community and the cumulative effort really shines.

I know many, many, community members have dedi-cated countless hours to making this a suc-cess and regardless of

what the judges deter-mine, I say we should all be very proud of what has been accom-plished.

Communities in Bloom is a wonderful “Community Spirit” building program. I can see that this suc-cess will spark other beautif ication efforts and nurturing of com-munity pride within the area. This is a winner!Susan GarlandLouis Creek

Kudos to leaders of CIB Barriere

Each entry must clearly include the words ‘North Thompson Fall Fair & Rodeo’ and the dates ‘Sept. 1, 2, and 3, 2012’.

Simpson says there is already a good num-ber of people thinking of ideas for decorat-ing a round bale, and some of them are quite unique.

“We think this will be a fun competition for the participants, and a great way for the NTFFRA to get the word out to the travel-ing public about our event,” said Simpson, “We encourage any-one who has a round bale to participate and join in the excitement of our 63rd annual event.”

RULES TO ENTER:1. Individual/Group

2. Entries must contain at least one large round hay, straw or silage bale. Extra bales, props and paint can be used.

3. Bales must be in good taste – no body parts sticking out of the bale or suggestive decorations

4. No Commercial or political party signs are allowed

5. Display must face a public road

6. Bales are expect-ed to be well enough constructed to stay in place until after the fair

7. Entries will be judged on creativity, artistic details, work and effort involved,

theme, originality, visibility (making the best use of the space available), and the sign with fair dates.

8. Photos will be on display during the fair, with a list of bale display locations for those wishing to view the displays.

9. Winners will be announced and prize money awarded at the downtown fall fair office, date and time yet to be announced.

To send in your entries: Submit Your Name, Display Locat ion (physi-cal address), mail-

ing address, contact phone number, and at least one photo-graph to: NTFFR, Box 873, Barriere, B.C., V0E 1E0. You can also email your entry with all of the above information to: news@star / jour nal .net by the deadline

There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack, but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent.

Mosquitos can be a nuisance. Everyone has their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, b-12) don’t work. Wear light-coloured clothing and use insect repellants that contain DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice.

When camping, be cautious drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosporidiosis are caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (three minutes at altitudes above 2,000 metres).

Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can signifi cantly lower the risk of this disease. Cold water fi sh like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and salmon are good sources. If you aren’t a fi sh-eater, capsule supplements are available.

MP McLeod tours oil sandsBy Andrea KlassenKamloops This Week

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said she has been “reassured” about the environmen-tal sustainability of Alberta’s oil sands fol-lowing a recent tour in Fort McMurray.

McLeod wrapped up a two-day tour that included a helicopter survey of the Syncrude, Sunoco, Albian Sands and CNRL projects and a visit to the Syncrude Canada site — one of the largest in the north-ern Alberta oil sands.

The Conservative MP said she was “quite amazed”, struck by the scope of the projects, as well as by statis-tics showing how much cash the oil sands gen-erate.

“In some ways it seemed really big and, in others, if you look, it’s surrounded by thousands of kilome-tres of forested area,” McLeod said, adding she also took an inter-est in previously mined portions of the sands that are now being reclaimed.

“They had brought it back to bison roaming, replanted and reintro-duced natural species,” she said.

“They’re making

some very good strides in terms of technology and reducing. They’re pretty focused on reducing emissions. I think the industry rec-ognizes that they have to continue to make advances.”

McLeod said she was struck by fig-ures showing just how much money is gener-ated from mining and extraction.

“This is eight to 10 per cent, depending on the figures you look at, of our GDP right now,” she said, noting the money isn’t just staying in Alberta.

“It might be a man-ufacturer in Ontario, it might be someone in British Columbia, but the positive economic impacts are actually countrywide.”

McLeod said she feels other federal poli-ticians need to make a visit to the sands before they form an opinion about the controversial industry.

“What [the tour] really did is, it reas-sured me there’s sig-nificant strides being made in terms of the environmental issues,” she said.

McLeod said she’s still convinced oil pipe-lines are a good way to transport crude from the oil sands to B.C.

and the U.S., provided they are held to high safety standards.

Kinder Morgan of Texas is propos-ing a $4.1-billion Trans Mountain pipe-line expansion to its Burrard Inlet terminal in Burnaby.

The expansion would impact the pipe-line as it passes through Kamloops.

Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, who has also been travelling through Alberta and B.C. during the past week, told media on June 11 that criticism of a Enbridge’s handling of a major oil pipe-line leak in Michigan should spell the end of the proposed controver-sial Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.

A report by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board criticized the Calgary-based com-pany for taking 17 hours to respond to a leak that dumped more

than three-million litres of crude oil into a river and wetlands in Michigan.

The Northern Gateway line would run from the Alberta oil sands to Kitimat, where oil could be shipped to the Asian market.

McLeod said she is waiting for the results of an environmental assessment of the proj-ect before forming an opinion on the pipeline — but said these kind of projects are necessary to get product shipped.

“We need to have pipelines that move the product to market,” she said, noting there needs to be strict standards for companies.

“If it can be done safely, it needs to be done safely, and com-panies have to be held to a high standard of safety,” she said, adding the federal government included more funding to improve pipeline safety in its last bud-get.

Grant you the first few weeks may be a bit irritating, as you undo rows just completed, to correct that mistake you made two hours ago, but didn’t see until so much later.

If you’ve already learned how, why not start a project to enter in the North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo exhibit hall competitions? You can enter something as small as a doily, or as large as a tablecloth or bedspread, socks or sweaters, or afghans. How about a baby carriage blanket, a three piece baby set, a rug, wall hanging, and so much more? There’s also a separate division just for those 65 years and over, and folks who may be dealing with a physical or men-tal challenge. It’s never too late to learn.

There are also divisions for spin-ning, weaving and felting. For more information on any of the classes in the Crocheting, Knitting, Spinning, Weaving and Felting Section, contact convenor Wally Kreutz at 250-672-9627, or pick up your copy of this year’s Fall Fair Catalog at the Star/Journal, area newsstands, or go to: www.fallfair-rodeo.com.

Fall Fair Tidbits

Knit, crochet, spin, weave, or felt for the upcoming Fall Fair

By Margaret HoubenNorth Thompson Star/Journal

The District of Barriere held their first summer regular council meeting on July 16.

First on the agenda was the final adoption of the Wastewater Holding Tank Bylaw No. 94, which was passed.

Council passed a motion to approve the wording of a let-ter to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) regarding the Yellowhead Highway #5. The highway as it passes through the District boundaries had been vested in the municipality upon incorporation, and now needs to be transferred

back to the province for road purposes. The let-ter includes a request that MOTI also resume ownership of the small length of Agate Bay Road that is currently held by the District. The letter will now be sent.

District CAO, Colleen Hannigan reported on several proj-ects. The Wastewater Project is progressing, with the District receiv-ing approval to use “own force labour” for the Project Supervisor/Superintendent posi-tion. This will be a huge advantage, as it means a savings on the cost of bringing an out-sider in and paying for their lodging and trans-portation.

The Water Meter Project is going very

well, with only a few homeowners left to comply.

A final plan has been drafted regard-ing turning the corner at the Barriere Town Road and Barkley/Salle intersection into a four way stop. Signs have been ordered, as well as concrete ring barri-ers, all of which will be installed between Aug. 6 and Aug. 20.

Staff have received complaints regarding trucks using airbrakes around the corner by the high school. To remedy this, council passed a motion to get two signs that say ‘Avoid use of air brakes’, which will be placed at strategic points along the stretch in question. Staff will also contact the RCMP to request that they monitor the area.

Councilor Smith requested that a thank you letter be sent to Stamer Logging for putting up the welcome sign at the triangle.

Councilor Stamer reported that the gazebo at Fadear Park has been painted, and is almost finished.

Councilor Paula reported on the Household Waste plant in Halifax, and the Sewage Treatment plant in Bear River, Nova Scotia, both

of which she toured while on holidays in the area.

Councilor Stanley thanked staff and the Bandshell commit-tee for all their hard work for both the Canada Day celebra-tions and for the first two Barriere Bandshell Friday events. Mayor Humphreys and several other councilors added their thanks as well.

Barry Thorn asked if council thinks that there will be a huge increase in the traffic down the alley behind the post office once the four way stop is in place. Council members replied that while there may be a slight increase, they do not anticipate a huge increase.

Margaret Houben reported to council that the potholes are back at the corner of Highway 5 and Borthwick (near the Gilbert Smith Mill).

Barriere Fire Chief Al Kirkwood reminded all present that there is to be absolutely no burning in the District of Barriere until further notice, and that this ban includes campfires.

The next general meeting of the District of Barriere council will be on Aug. 20, at 7 p.m.

In other words, major polluters in B.C. receive most of the carbon tax collected.

Some of these are the very oil and gas business-es that aren’t taxed a dime for venting megatonnes of greenhouse gasses from their pipelines.

The redefinition by the premier that possibly increased the share price of Progress Energy Resources Corp. will also help the earning poten-tial of one of the largest corporations on the planet.

Does it warm everyone’s heart that the Liberal government will not be charging Shell Oil a carbon tax on greenhouse-gas emissions?

When a government makes a policy that posi-tively affects a selected few corporations, you can expect the rest of the population and our environ-ment to pay a heavy price.

Should multi-billion dollar companies get a free ride on the backs of B.C. families?John SternigHeffley Creek

A Barriere man was killed in a two-vehicle collision north of Avola the morning of July 16.

Clearwater RCMP reports that they received a call about the crash at 5:55 a.m.

Investigation revealed that two vehicles had been northbound on Highway 5 near Tum Tum Creek when the second vehicle hit the lead vehicle from behind. The lead vehicle went off the road to the right while the second went

off to the left. A male passenger in the lead vehi-

cle was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. The passenger, Barriere resident Victor Kolman, was confirmed deceased at the scene.

A traffic analyst from Kamloops and a representative from the BC Coroner’s Service attended the scene. The investigation was turned over to the Central Traffic Services Unit out of Clearwater.

The matter is still under investi-gation.

Residents complain District services not up to parMore than a few

Barriere residents have told me that they feel

certain services are not to the level they feel is acceptable. There are

few things in life more irritating than paying for a service and not getting

what you expect. Overflowing garbage

receptacles, grass not cut, weeds not pulled, turf dying for lack of water, trees dying for lack of care, potholes in the roads, dust from unpaved laneways, unfinished ballpark con-cession, ball diamonds not prepped properly for play, water that smells of chlorine and ruins your taps, public washrooms not open for the public to use, streetlights not working and the list goes

on. The District must be made aware of what is important to residents.

To that end I encour-age all residents to take the time to express your concerns and opinions. Please send me a letter, an email, a note on the back of a piece of cardboard if that is what you have handy. I do listen when people take the time to tell me their concerns and I do bring these forward. It is much more effective though if I have some sort

of physical communica-tion from you of what you wish to have addressed. Another option is to come to council meetings and give your opinions. I know this is viewed by most as a waste of time. I

do guarantee though that you will be heard and what you have to say will be reflected in the min-utes of the meeting.

Who is responsible to have these issues resolved? Ultimately that

By Elli KohnertNorth Thompson Star/Journal

Blucher Hall, now integrated into the general Squam Bay, and Upper-Louis Creek area has been its own small settle-ment since the 1820’s.

Donald Fraser, bet-ter known as ‘Cap’, became a prominent and enterprising Blucher Hall resident in 1896. He preempted land there, and con-structed a home for his family.

Cap was born May 28, 1863, in New Brunswick; he was the eldest son in his fam-ily, and when he lost his mother at an early age, he left home in search of work.

Cap found a job with the CPR when the construction of it worked its way from east to the west in Canada. Cap changed jobs over time, but eventually went back to the CPR. He was in Craigellachi when the ‘last spike’ was driven by Sir Donald Smith, a director of the CPR, on November 7, 1885. Cap was just 22-years-old at the time.

Cap learned of the Squam Bay area after he had tried farming outside of Kamloops. The stint at farm-ing did not work out well, so he decided to preempt land in the Squam Bay location and farm there.

Cap’s ancestral home was in Scotland, where he had inher-

ited an estate called Levenhall, which he never claimed as his wish was to remain in Canada. However, due to his Scottish roots he named his new Squam Bay area Blucher Hall.

Farming was the way of life for every-one who lived there, but it was not easy. It was a time when neighbors worked together to build and maintain a communi-ty, and Cap had a big part in that, living in the area for the next 72 years.

Until the early Fall of 1899 Cap had been a bachelor, but that changed when he met Jean Craig; they were married in 1899. Their life together was filled with hard work and great ambitions.

Jean and Cap opened a post office at Blucher Hall, where Cap was the post-master from January, 1905, until it closed 22 years later. This closure was presum-ably because by that time the automobile was already replacing some of the horse and buggy transportation modes.

The Frasers also built a general store, which they operated for 22 years. A record book of the general store’s operations is at the North Thompson Museum in Barriere, and visitors can view the book, and wonder about how simple it was then to run a gro-cery store.

When Jean became ill with tuberculosis it was a sad and difficult time for Cap. There were no other means available to care for her except to take her to Tranquille Hospital in Kamloops, where tuberculosis patients, what was then an incurable disease, were treated. Jean passed away in April of 1924, and Cap was once again alone.

It proved difficult for Cap to take care of his work besides being a lonely widower, but two years later, he met Henrietta Ash, who with two young sons, George and Bert, had come west looking for a home and a house-keeping job.

Cap and Henrietta were married, and soon added four daughters to the family, Ann, Margret, Helen and Frances. It is interest-ing to note that Cap was already 63-years-old at the time.

Cap was involved with building the first Blucher Hall School in 1927-1928, on land donated by George and Agnes Sheepway about half-a-mile from his farmhouse.

Seven men from the community, includ-ing Cap, constructed the school. It was a sturdy log building, where George and Bert (Henrietta’s sons) started school with 11 other students.

The school burned down sometime later, and for a while, the students were housed

in another log cabin for their lessons until the second Blucher Hall School had been built.

The new school was a wooden struc-ture, where the Fraser daughters started their education, and Bert and George Ash com-pleted grade 8.

After the Second World War, North Thompson Valley res-ident, Keith Moore, returned home from his service with the 28th Canadian Armored Regiment BCR.

Not long thereaf-ter he met Ann Fraser (Cap’s daughter) and they were married sometime later.

When Cap did not want to farm any lon-ger, and the govern-ment was knocking at his door for back-tax-es, Keith bought the farm at Blucher Hall.

There Keith and Ann started a family of four children, Gerald, Gordon, Trevor and Sherry. After several years, Keith and his wife separated, and the farm was sold to the Donald Fraser family (no relation).

After selling the farm, Cap and his wife Henrietta, lived in a small cabin Keith had built for them.

When Henrietta passed away, and Cap could not care for him-

self anymore, he went into a care home in North Kamloops, where he eventually passed away at the age of 106.

Cap Fraser lived a life f illed with hard work, with the fam-ily he loved, and spent most of that life in the small community of Blucher Hall among

friends and neighbors. Many of those

who still reside in the Blucher Hall area can remember the “enter-prising” Cap Fraser.

Chu Chua artist Dawn Eustache recently painted two colourful murals at the request of the District of Barriere. Eustache’s impressive work was carried onto the stage at the Barriere Bandshell by District staffers and introduced to the community during the July 1, celebration. Eustache graduated from Barriere Secondary this year, where she painted a mural on the wall of the cafeteria. Her newly completed works for the District are mounted on the outside of the ice rink next to the Barriere Cemetery.

162 at Squam Bay Derby

By Debbie RainerCaptain Ladies Golf

Where have all the golfers gone? Seems summer time is keep-ing everyone busy with travel and company; 25 ladies golfed on July 17. Only 25, hard to believe when 28 golfed in the pouring rain less than a month ago. The prizes were spread fairly evenly between golfers. This weeks Flight #1 low gross winner was Donna Salle, shooting a 47. She also took long drive in 2 on #5 sponsored by Barriere A & W and long drive on #9 sponsored Jul’r by Lynda. Low net for flight #1 went to Trudy Scarlett, along with KP for flight #1 on Hole #4 sponsored by Barb & Carman Smith. Low gross for flight #2 with a 49 went to Cori

Walker. Low net for flight #2 went to Audry Rilco with 35 and also win-ning Long Putt on Hole #9 sponsored by Estylo Hair Design. Brenda Carl had two great hits in a row to take long drive in 2 on hole #8 sponsored by Crystlee’s Hair Design and also winning the hid-den score with 69 spon-sored by Stamer Logging. Angie Rainer for the sec-ond week in a row has won the Rainer Custom Cuttting certificate, this week on Hole #1 with a long putt. She also man-aged to tuck her ball close to the new golfer to take

home the Bodi Mekanix certificate. Barb Morris won the Shais Design certificate with her long drive on hole #1. Long Putt on hole #2 spon-sored by Station House Restaurant went to Susan Mitchell. Long Drive for flight #3 sponsored by Val-Bella Studio went to Emma Allen and also the KP for flight #3 on Hole #4 sponsored by Carol Patton. Betty Foote score the KP on #4 sponsored by Carl’s Market Garden and also on #6 spon-sored by Ron Wallace Trucking, way to find the green Betty. I managed to pick up the long drive on hole #5 sponsored by Barriere Irly. Long Putt on #5, sponsored by Barriere Massage went to Cathy Chornlesky. Deb Legaree took the KP for light #1 on hole 6,

sponsored by The River Adventure Co. The Gully golf monster went very hungry this evening with only one lady from flight #3 losing her ball. Thank to the North Thompson Funeral home, for the rest in peace sponsor on #7, won by Joanne Lyle. Sandy Lebourdais took home the Country Store Antique certificate with her long putt on #8. Susan Bonder putted her way to the Knights Inn certificate with the most putts. Least putts went to Shirley Ross with 15, sponsored by Our Little Secret.

Be sure to remember Hawaiian Xmas in July this Tuesday. The format is a four lady scramble. There is still room for more teams. Come out and enjoy turkey dinner and some laughs.

The 57th Annual Squam Bay Fish Derby annually occurs on the second Sunday in July, and this year that date of July 8, turned out to be a wonderful day.

There were 162 entries this year, with 41 fish weighed in.

“We had more prizes than fish,” said Jackie Van Sickle, “So we drew some names out of a bucket; and this is always fun, because you don’t even need to catch a fish to win a prize.”Winning anglers were:

First place went to Nathan Chilibeck of Pinantan, with a 13 lb. 10 oz. Dolly, winning $600 and a keeper trophy

Second place was Dan Stoelwinder of Kamloops, with a 7 lb. 10 oz. Grey, winning $200

and a keeper trophyThird went to Brook White of

Qualicum, with a 7 lb. 5 oz. Grey.Fourth place went to Ken Van

Sickle of Squam Bay, with a 6 lb. 8 oz. Grey, (of note is the fact that Ken has participated in all 57 derbies).

Fifth place was Krista Turner of Kamloops, with a 6 lb. 2 oz. Grey.

Sixth and seventh place was a tie for brothers-in-law, Wayne Keller of Barriere, and Harold Bittner of Kamloops, with a 6 lb. 1 oz. catch.

Eighth and ninth was also a tie for Bernard Guilbault of Sorrento, and Mary Van Sickle of Squam Bay, with a 5 lb. 11 oz. fish.

Tenth went to James Remple of Clearwater, with a 5 lb. 10 oz.

Largest Rainbow was 4 lb. 8 oz, placing seventeenth in the draw

for prizes was Chase Davidson of Kamloops, also taking home a keeper trophy and his name will go on the Ralph Keller Memorial Trophy.

Dayton Fraser won fortieth place in the draw, and the hid-den weight prize with a 2 lb. 2 oz. rainbow.

Sponsors of the event were all recognized: Agate Bay Resort, Anglers Gift and Tackle, Brandt Tractor, Chevron, Chinook Cove Golf, Great West Equipment, Inland Kenworth, James Western Star, Karl’s Market Garden, Naramada Video Rod and Gun Sports, River City Marine, and Woodland Equipment.

“Having the sponsor’s donations makes the prizes that much more exciting for our fishermen,” said Van Sickle.

Barriere 911 Emergency Services Golf Tournament back for 2012


The emergency service providers in Barriere, namely the RCMP, Fire Department, BC Ambulance, and Search & Rescue, have revitalized the Annual Barriere 911 Emergency Services Golf Tournament, which they will be hosting at the Chinook Cove Golf Course on Aug. 25, at 1 p.m., with a shotgun start.

“We are proud to carry on this tradition and sup-port local charities in Barriere and the surrounding area,” said Barriere Fire Chief Al Kirkwood. “Over the years, the group has raised thousands of dollars in support of local charities and non-profit organiza-tions.”

The 911 tournament is now encouraging sponsor-ship in the form of cash, merchandise, or services for prizes and a silent auction. All sponsors will receive recognition in the welcome package for all teams, on each of the dinner tables, and in the local newspaper.

For sponsors donating $100 or more, there are additional benefits, depending on the exact amount donated; from a hole sponsorship sign, to a two per-son paid entry into the tournament.

Individual registration for the tournament itself is $55 per player, which includes your golf, a shared cart, prizes and dinner. Registrations must be in no later than Aug. 17.

The organizers say that for 2012 the funds raised will go towards supporting local area youth programs; with those specific programs yet to be announced. There are a number of local programs that are looking for support, and the tournament coordinators will be looking at all applicants before

making their decision.For those wishing to make a cash donation, cheques

can be made payable to Barriere 911 Emergency Services Golf Tournament. For those wishing more information about the different sponsorship levels, they can contact any of the following:Cpl.

Bright sun and clear sky might be great for some scenic photogra-phers, but it can cause many problems when photographing people.

My assignment this week was to photograph an event that began at 2:30 under almost clear skies, and where even in the shade the temperature hovered in the mid-30° degrees celsius. The location was on a south-facing, treeless, hilltop with a sprawling vineyard in the background.

The event, other than a large group shot of all the guests, was held under five large, white tents, and my goal was to balance my flash and exposure to lighten up my sub-jects without glare, or shadows, and properly expose the field’s sun-drenched background.

The contrast in light from shadows to high-lights on a very sunny day can be too extreme for a camera’s sensor to capture. I always look for open shade, or place the sun behind my subjects and use a flash.

I meter for the mid tones like the grass, or, in this case, a large open field, and under-expose about two

stops, then balance the overall image using my flash.

My flash sits on a bracket and the flash is attached to my cam-era with a wire so I can remove the flash and hold it at different angles if I need to.

I did notice people wielding point and shoot digital and a cou-ple photographers with DSLRs trying to use their pop-up flashes, but I am sure they were disappointed with their results on that sunny day as the extremes from black to white are just too much for digi-tal sensors.

Fortunately, pho-tographers can load images into Photoshop, and no matter if they are JPG or RAW files can be optimized using Adobe RAW – an amazing application that gives additional control over exposure, shadow, and highlight detail.

Adobe RAW can even help with those

not-so-well focused images. I use that program to polish my images and make them all that they can be which is much better than settling for photo-graphs mass corrected at a big box lab.

After selecting the best images, I cor-rect the white bal-ance and colour using Photoshop. I make the photo look pretty much the way they appear through the camera and the images taken in the bright sun now have lots of detail.

Another program I regularly use (and think is amazing) is by Nik Software Inc. and is called Viveza. Viveza allows selective control of light and colour. With that pro-gram I can maintain the colour and tonal-ity while changing the background and blend-ing the effect exactly. All this isn’t much dif-ferent than I used to do in my old film dark-room except now it is

more precise, the pro-cess can be duplicated, and overall everything is easier.

Between the two programs I am able, without spending too much time in post-pro-duction, to provide my clients with polished and balanced images that do not show the harsh environmental realities of that day.

Sure, sunny clear days please us all and when planning an out-door event we prefer that to rain, but for photographers the sun and harsh unflattering shadows on people’s faces isn’t the best out-come. My advice is not to approach this type of photography the same way as a scenic and to begin with test shots and constantly pay attention to the expo-sure, and absolutely use a flash for the best outcome.

These are my thoughts this week. Contact me at www.enmanscamera.com or [email protected]. Stop by Enman’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 photo-graphic equipment.

A p r i l 2 3 - 2 9 , 2 0 1 2

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.

July 23 - July 29, 2012Branch out and enjoy new ways of thinking, Aries. Keep the energy and en-thusiasm about a new project. Your energy will inspire others to get moving, too.

Although you can expect a week full of energy and many things to do, you will still manage to have fun in the process, Cancer. Things can change quickly, so enjoy.

You are completely absorbed in your romantic relationship, Libra. For the time being that’s a very good thing. Spread a little of that love around you; it might be contagious.

A friend is not jealous of you, Capricorn; he or she is simply proud of all you accomplished. Don’t feel badly about bragging a little about the things you’ve done.

An altruistic act by someone you know could inspire you to do your own form of charity, Aquarius. You’re of the mind to get involved with something that gives back.

You may need to get a little aggressive to get what you need, Taurus. Don’t worry about being rude; you just may need to push yourself into certain situations this week.

Leo, you could learn something new this week, and it very well may be something important. Just keep your eyes and ears open to new ideas and information all around you.

Scorpio, you may not be able to avoid con ict this week, so you may as well just go with the ow. Just try not to get into the fray if something should escalate.

You may seem a little confused this week, Pisces, almost like you’re walking in a fog. Take some time to sit and re ect.

Gemini, this is a good week for telling others about your positive thoughts and hopes. It’s advanta-geous to have as many people on your side as you can.

If you are trying to convince a person of something, you have to take a less combative tone, Virgo. Remember, you catch more bees with honey.

Even if you have no interest in seem-ingly trivial things like games and puzzles, Sagittarius, give one a try this week. You could nd it takes your mind off of other things.

Get out of the heat, and readBy Margaret HoubenNorth Thompson Star/Journal

Too hot to work in the garden? Or per-haps you’re on holi-day and just want to relax? Well, that’s a great reason to visit the Barriere Library and check out some of the new titles in stock.

The Storm, by Clive Cussler - In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a NUMA research vessel is taking water samples at sunset, when a crew member spots a sheen of black oil ahead of them. But it is not oil. Like a horde of army ants, a swarm of black particles suddenly attacks the ship, kill-ing everyone aboard, while the ship itself

goes up in flames. A few hours later, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are on their way to the Indian Ocean. What they will find there on the smoldering hulk of the ship will eventu-ally lead them to the discovery of the most audacious scheme they have ever known: a plan to permanently alter the weather on a global scale. It will kill millions . . . and it has already begun.

The Sea Witch, by Stephen Coonts - When young Dauntless dive-bomber pilot is sacked for reckless behavior, he’s reassigned to a Black Cat squadron as the co-pilot of a giant Catalina seaplane, The Sea Witch. He’s thrown into a whole new world, where a

Catalina carries f ive tons of bombs, a half-dozen machine guns, and a crew that walks a fine line between valor and a death wish. A daring night bomb-ing mission against Rabaul forces the crew of The Sea Witch to band together as never before. Each man will soon f ind out what he’s made of..and not everyone will make it back alive.

Home From The Sea, by Mercedes Lackey - Mari Prothero has lived all her life with her father, Daffyd, in a tiny fishing village on the coast of Wales. Though Daffyd takes his boat out on the sea regardless of weather, Mari has learned not to fear for his safe-ty, for her father is

a Water mage, and always comes home safely with a large catch. Mari knows that in her family, children are expected to marry at eighteen, to an appropriate stranger. However, Mari is a fledgling Water Master with a rebellious nature. She has no intention of agreeing to any arranged marriage. But Mari has yet to learn the truth of the magical heritage that must be protected by these very marriag-es. For the Protheros are descended from S e l k i e s — m a g i c a l beings who are able to change from seals to humans—and to continue her line, she must marry a full-blooded Selkie....

In loving memory of

Victor KohlmanN o v e m b e r 2 1 , 1 9 4 8 – J u l y 1 6 , 2 0 1 2

Tragically on the morning of July 16, Victor John Kohlman died in an automo-bile accident. He is survived by his lov-ing companion of 12 years, Wendy Morton (Harms); his children Jeffery, Tamara, Brian (Sheri), Ben, Sara, and Liana; step-chil-dren, Bonnie (Darryl) Zimmer and Lidah (Peter) Gray; nine grandchildren; broth-ers Eugene (Bernadean) and Arnold; sisters Eileen (Gary) Elligott, Adeline (Bill) Irvin and Bernice (Jim) Birtsch. He was predeceased by his parents John (1986) and Mary (2008), and by his brothers Ben, Bob and Ken.

Victor was born November 21, 1948, in Macklin, Saskatchewan. Vic grew up in various communities through-out Alberta. His family moved to Hope, B.C., where he completed his education.

During his high school years Vic had jobs at various gas sta-tions in Hope. He then found out he could earn big money in the bush and a logger was born.

He started as a

whistle punk earn-ing twice as much as he could as a gas jockey. Vic worked hi lead and conventional logging for various companies through-out B.C. Vic found work in the Interior of B.C., and his family soon followed him to Kamloops. He worked away in the North Thompson Valley for many years.

Vic Kohlman, Ron Redpath and Vic Sawatski formed VRV Contracting Ltd. Vic and VRV Contracting Ltd. worked for Balco, Gilbert Smith Forest Products, Tolko and finally again for Gilbert Smith Forest Products.

Vic and Grant Bradford, co-owners of VRV, have been part-ners and good friends for many years. Their work complemented their partnership – Vic the logger, Grant the

logging truck driver, mechanic and welder – and they could work together and fix any machine or truck that broke down (as long as the haywire held out).

Vic will be missed by everyone that had the honour of truly getting to know such great guy.

A celebration of life for Vic Kohlman is being planned for Saturday, July 28, 2012.

Please watch the Memorial notice boards around Barriere for details about time and location, or check the website at www.NorthThompsonFuneral.com. The service can be viewed on-line and condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the website.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Victor’s memory to the Barriere Hospice Society, P.O. Box 20, Barriere, B.C., V0E 1E0; to the North Thompson Valley Hospice House Society, P.O. Box 1, Little Fort, B.C., V0E 2C0, or to a charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements entrusted to North Thompson Funeral Services, Barriere, BC, 250-672-1999.

Nora Leone Koch Passed away on July 13, 2012, at the age of 79 in Kamloops, British Columbia. She had a short stay at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice. Nora was born on May 22, 1933, in Burns Lake, B.C. I was thinking of love

would be the District of Barriere mayor and council. It is not District staff, not the highways department nor any of the other various con-tractors doing work in the District.

To be totally fair to council, it is the mayor that is expected to take concerns from residents, and with direction from council initiate proper and long term resolutions.

As the Mayor I will take responsibility for the issues previ-ously stated and any others that are brought forth.

It truly would be easier to lay the blame with others but would that fix the problem?

I could say that the people per-forming the work are responsible for the quality of the work. I could say that the manufacturer of the equipment that failed, allowing the turf to die, is responsible; but then again why wasn’t it watered using a hose and sprinklers?

That approach is one of laying blame. That will not correct the problem.

The fact of the matter is that if the work is substandard or equip-ment fails the responsibility for correcting the problem must go back to the person or persons that can truly effect a change.

To that end a number of initia-tives have been started to assess costs and efficiencies with regards to District services. District staff are compiling data, such as the number of hours spent doing a multitude of tasks, the cost of materials, pos-sible additional revenue streams and so on.

The fix to these problems is not as easy as just hiring more staff or getting more equipment. That amounts to just throwing money at the problem to see if it goes away. We all know this is never the resolution to what-

ever ills the system has. Plus, the only way the District

has to obtain extra funds is by rais-ing taxes, and that is a route that must be not be taken with any sort of a cavalier attitude.

I wish to thank all the volunteers that have helped in the past, and to the numerous sponsors of District projects that without your help and generosity these projects would never have reached completion.

I want you all to know that I have heard your concerns as of late; that you are no longer volunteering on extra tasks to make things better, but are backfilling tasks that are a portion of the basic and essential services you expect your taxes to cover.

We are working to correct this problem through process improve-ments and other changes.

Have a great week and be mind-ful of the heat.

Residents complain... Continued from page 8


Terry Fox is a symbol of hope that touches the hearts of not only Canadians but people around the world. His desire and passion towards spread-ing awareness for the need to raise funds for cancer research has left an immeasurable impact on our lives and a legacy which will not be for-gotten.

Since Terry’s Marathon of Hope in 1980, The Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 mil-lion for cancer research and proudly donates 84 cents of every dollar towards finding a cure.

Donna White, Provincial Director of The Terry Fox Foundation BC and Yukon, explains that, “The wonderful part about his legacy is that it’s not just about the type of cancer Terry had, or cancers affecting youth, or men, or women. The Foundation funds research in to all kinds of can-cer, believing as Terry did, that we need to con-quer once and for all; for everybody”.

“When I started this Run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason!”, stated Terry, a great Canadian hero.

Terry dedicated his heart, body and spirit towards his dream to outrun cancer and displayed his determination by running a marathon a day

on one leg for 143 days across Canada. He is truly a symbol of hope whose message transcends between generations and nationalities; leaving a lasting legacy that remains alive today.

For over 30 years, millions of people have taken part in the Terry Fox Run in their commu-nity and will continue to fight for the cause in the 32nd annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 16.

Keeping with Terry’s wishes, the Runs are non- competitive, have no entry fee and do not require a minimum pledge amount.

Register individually or as a group with your family, friends and co-workers and team-up for Terry. As well, The Foundation would be delight-ed at the chance to honour Terry’s Team Members; those who have had or currently have cancer.

The 32nd Annual Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research Be a part of Terry’s dream in Barriere on Sept. 16. Date: Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012, at the Bandshell on Barriere Town Road. Registration: 10:30-11 a.m. Run Start: 11a.m. Run is 10km, or 4km; suitable for bikes, wheelchairs/strollers and rollerblades. Dogs on leash please, and horses welcome.

For more information about the Run in your community, registering a Team or signing up as a Terry’s Team Member, visit The Terry Fox Foundation website at www.terryfox.org or call 1-888-836-9786.
