Create a check-in plan with high-risk family and friends

Thinking back in time as I study a 1920’s Universal Projector got me thinking. During my time in high school, I was always infuriated by the old, bad quality projectors. They took forever to warm up, did not display certain colours, and so on. But now that I see what people had to use a century ago, it does not seem all that bad.

We often hear about the “Dog Days” of summer. I had always assumed that it referred to the days being so hot and humid that they weren’t fit for a dog. Others have suggested that it is the time of year when the extreme heat drives dogs mad. So what does the term really mean; where did it come from and what does it have to do with dogs? I was surprised to discover that it originally referred to the 20 days before and the 20 days after the Dog Star Sirius aligns with the Sun.

The North Thompson Stock Dog Association hosted the second Dogs with Jobs two day event in Barriere, July 29 - 30. As hosts of the event, the association would sincerely like to thank this wonderful community of Barriere for the support. Our organization would not have been able to host such a large event without your generosity.

The Mayor of Barriere, Ward Stamer, has a lot on his mind these days and he’ll be the first to tell you he doesn’t mince words. In his straightforward way of addressing a multitude of issues in the North Thompson in one conversation he won’t hold back.
