Golden age of Hollywood

The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council has Judy Young at their gallery , corner of Nicola and Voght in Merritt BC. The Show will go on until June 17th at regular gallery hours.

Her show includes a black and white pencil pastel of screen actress Marlene Dietrich. One of Judy’s favorite classical actors. Marlene was a driven force in eight decades of screen. Playing with greats like Spencer Tracy and Jimmie Stewart, Marlene had a big input to what was called the Golden age of Hollywood. The painting ” one of my babies” according to Judy has a powerful effect in the demonstration of the show.

Classical movie buff come and see.

Judies show is a mixed image show about her interests and includes besides Dietrich’s some from Vancouver streets in the 50’s and old rural barns from the Nicola and much more.

Normal yet, we wonder…

Normal is as normal feels: and sounds…

What is normal? It matters the context, what is normal to a drowning person is not normal to a secure lively individual. So by the end of summer there is a hope for normal life back to the people of BC that have endured a long bout of pandemic lessoned activity. This is a desire that is different with many people those that nearly drowned in the time period . And those that did reasonably well with the support given will have a different take on what is normal of normal. The people that did better by it another take.

To continue the metaphor of the drowning man, throwing a line that is reachable and not taken will produce a survivor that has a view of his individual effort being the value to be preserved. A good and strong reserve going forward for him to risk again, Those that were dependant will remain dependant but in truth no one had a complete case of either or as the effect of one played into the experience of the other. This will be the continuing normal for going forward for some time more.

Build your bridges forward and backwards.

It’s a two way street give and it comes back or maybe if not it goes some where you have effected situations unkown! We are all in this together ,a communicable disease that has no redemption in its self. But we all contribute to the pot of hope and the balancing of outcome.

Everyone offends…

Living our lives and doing our lively hoods offends or challenges others in a way out of our control however offending with our talk is mostly in our control and if we do not offend lightly in speech and other communications we are to be commented. This is needed when trying to return to a normal real or imagined. Good luck!

See you on the normal side…

Wallis Simpson marries the Duke of Windsor.

Did you play the exercise in school, you know the one where you are given a statement to whisper in the ear of the class mate in the desk ahead of you, then see how it ends up after going through the class. It was often way out of its starting voice You wonder if now days, is it starting out as something bad and maybe got closer to the truth along the way. That is how I feel when I try to see and add rational footing to statements that are inflaming and derisive. Where did this thing come from, a delusion forum, a fear and sensational reserve of misinformation, we wonder! Some say that it is now a public health issue , not a only a journalism or free speech issue.

. Humour sometimes softened the effect, but that science has gone over to one ( in most incidences) format, that is derogatory sex jokes, is it the last refuge of civility to use sex to get a laugh at hard positions of fear and delusion, we wonder.

Engagement worked as a softener of hard positions once, now power of speech is used to gain undeserved engagement. We separated criminal attitudes once, and most people knew what that was! Blinding of good values by constant misinformation ( once called slander or libel ) is a real prospect now, that has as its best cure the resolve to know that truth! Not just the truth as It may be truth, but is it presented in a way that will harm or in positive action in remedial gain. You are responsible to do that in a way that sees a pathway to peace, not in unrelenting wrath.

Gravediggers never run out of work, when it gets slack they can protest in a way that leaves only one way forward. While a recurrent evil, those attitudes do persist in the panic of mistruth and reciting it stirs that pot of inspiration, Do not be a gravedigger unless its a truth that has to live…We wonder…

Some Truths Kill…

“Trust in news has become a public health issue,” said CJF Board Chair Kathy English. “With misinformation about vaccines readily available online, journalists provide trustworthy information that can inform life-saving decisions.”

The CJF survey included a quiz that measured people’s belief in some of the most prominent false stories about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Quebecers were least likely to score an A (at least 10 out of 12 questions correct) compared to any other region in Canada and more than a quarter of Quebecers failed altogether. Only 28 percent of Canadians scored an A.

“Our research shows that those who trust media and journalists are more informed about the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines than those who mistrust media and get their information from other sources,” said Natalie Turvey, President and Executive Director of the CJF. “In addition, we found that 83 percent of the people who scored highest on the quiz trust journalists to give them information about COVID and the vaccines, indicating that their news literacy is high.”

The research showed that 64 percent of Quebecers will get the COVID vaccine as soon as it is available to them (higher than the national rate, which saw 61 percent of Canadians say they will get a COVID-19 vaccine right away).  Eight percent of Quebecers say they never will get a vaccine. By comparison, Alberta has the highest number of people who will never be vaccinated (13 percent).

Construction in the the Burrard inlet…

  • A construction safety zone has been declared in a portion of eastern Burrard Inlet and Notices to Shipping have been issued by the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG). Additional notices have been distributed to Indigenous groups, local area residents, marinas, port users, pilots, industry stakeholders and others.
  • A floating construction safety boom around the immediate construction site is there to assist in ensuring the safety of boaters in the area; it is demarcated by navigation buoys carrying appropriate day and night markers. Please do not anchor your vessel near the buoys to avoid entangling your anchor with the buoy chains.
  • Boaters and other vessels will be able to navigate safely past the work area. Large commercial vessels navigating the area will continue to follow the well-established vessel movement practices under pilotage.
  • On-water safety vessels will provide guidance and assistance as required and they can be contacted via VHF radio Channels 09 and 16.
  • Trans Mountain will continue to regularly communicate and update all marine waterway users, including boaters, commercial fishers and Indigenous groups on construction activities in the construction area. Communication will include meetings or workshops with key user groups, mail-outs, local advertising and on-water and onshore signage.

For recreational users, a Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide provides valuable information and the VFPA has a Port Information Guide. Enquiries regarding recreational boating safety near the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby can be directed to info@transmountain.com or 1.866.514.6700.
