Prince George, B.C. – Do you know someone making a difference in the health of your community?
If the answer is yes then Northern Health would like to hear from you.
The Community Health Star Program asks members of the public to nominate northerners making a difference to the health of their community and the people living in it.
15 year old Prince George resident Myles Mattila was introduced as the first Community Health Star this afternoon at the University Hospital of Northern BC.
He was recognized for partnering with mindcheck.ca to promote mental health in youth through school presentations.
Mattila was inspired to learn more about mental health because of the struggles an ex-hockey teammate was having and after learning the story of how ex-Canuck Rick Rypien had lost his battle with the illness.
“It’s estimated that one in five Canadians will develop a mental illness at some time in their lives,” said Matilla.
“I’m advocating for people who have issues to know they can get help.”
Prince George-Mackenzie Liberal MLA Mike Morris also spoke this afternoon and said after a 32 year career with the RCMP he knows the issue well.
“The majority of the files I worked on or police officers today are dealing with are people who have addictions issues or mental health issues. And they contribute significantly to the workload that our police officers have,” said Morris.
“And I admire him (Matilla) for doing that at 15 years of age. He showed great leadership by doing what he’s done and I think he’s worthy of being recognized as the first recipient of this award.”
If you’d like to nominate a Community Health Star go to northernhealth.ca. One winner will be announced on a monthly basis.

This was taken in the Old City, Hyderabad. See the contrast between the dresses and the faces. Out of the three schoolgirls, two are Muslims and wearing white scarves, one girl is Hindu and the lady in the colorful dress is a tribal Christian from the North East.
Forbiddance against waste disposal. First I thought: Make assurance double sure. But then I found the nice distinctions in the middle texts. It's amazingly, in which languages the municipal administration Altstätten, Switzerland expresses itself. I only know one of them. Oct 28, 2007.
On Tuesday 15 July 2025, officers and partners across the City of Manchester came together to patrol the city’s most problematic areas in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).
As part of the recently launched Home Office Safe4Summer initiative, which seeks to identify hotspot areas for ASB and tackle them with high-visibility and problem-solving policing, GMP officers and partners from Manchester City Council took to Piccadilly Gardens.
The newly formed Piccadilly Gardens Team, made up of eight police constables and Sergeant Jon Wyatt, was formed to front a multi-agency response designed to tackle ASB, and make Piccadilly Gardens hostile to criminality and a safer space for people to live, work and socialise.
During their patrol, specialist officers acted on intelligence and within minutes, uncovered two concealed bladed articles from the area. Police dog Kylo, was also on hand, aiding officers in the search for drugs and weapons.
A total of eight arrests were made within the gardens over the course of the day, for a range of offences including immigration offences, public order, robbery, and breach of Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). Partners including Manchester City Council, CityCo, TfGM and Travelsafe joined GMP officers and staff on the ground alongside councillors Joan Davies and Pat Karney.
Councillor Garry Bridges, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "As a council we work hard to ensure a positive experience for residents, visitors and businesses in Piccadilly Gardens, which is a much used and important gateway at the heart of the city centre.
“Together with our Neighbourhood Team, Licensing and Out of Hours Team, Anti-Social Behaviour Action Team and Cleansing Team we joined our colleagues at GMP to engage with businesses, residents and visitors in Piccadilly Gardens.
“We're really pleased to support these partnership action days with GMP, which demonstrate our joint commitment to making Piccadilly Gardens a safe and welcoming public space."
Chief Inspector Michael Tachauer co-ordinated the operation, deploying specialist officers to conduct sweeps with multiple weapons found hidden on roofs and in planters.
Chief Inspector Tachauer said: “Maintaining a good relationship with local businesses and our partners is key, as they are our eyes and ears on a daily basis. We meet and discuss issues once a week, seeking to problem-solve and focus on where we can make the biggest difference across the city.
“This day of action is just one example of the ongoing work our officers are carrying out every day, as part of our commitment to make Piccadilly Gardens a safer place for everyone who lives, works or visits the area”.

Version 3 on the left, Version 2 on the right. In Ver 3, the paint most obviously is of a different quality. The aperture scale is white numbers on black anodise, as opposed to black numbers on shiny aluminum in Ver 2. The bearing plates look to be the same, but the one in Ver 3 is mangled, which was probably the source of the shutter speed selector binding I experienced when installing it on the camera.
One thing that can't be seen here, is that the depth of the bayonets differs, with Ver 2 being taller when stacked next to the Ver 3 ones. Also, the slot that the aperture control arm resides in is wider on Ver 2.
Here's a "Difference of Decades" that's not. The previous shot in my photostream is from February 2006; this one's from Oct. 8, 2005. The location is nearly identical, though I shot this one with a big tele and the last one wide angle. Note the blue water of Lake Superior in the background. If it looks like a hill, it is: this bowling ball is rolling up a 2.2 percent. The big change, of course, is the removal of Main 2. This is yet another product of getting my "voluntary days" granted.
Other than Main 2, I'd imagine this shot would look pretty much the same today. Cept the locomotive consist might be slightly different.
You guys liking this stuff? Shall I continue? I know it's cheap substitute for Steve and his Fs, but you guys' pain is my pleasure.

Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time
KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY
People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.
The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.
Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.
It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.
Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

I thought I’d wait for a returning D-Train after the passing of 6H10 Cemex. While there, an artic clattered and brought down a barrier on the north side. The approaching D-Train was held at the signal while Police and Network Rail quickly got traffic moving and set to work repairing the fallen barrier. No-one was injured.

Divergent: tending to be different or developing in different directions. I wanted to use this word but unfortunately with busy schedules today, luck was on my side when I found this lovely shot of my Tribe.
Outside, it's -17 celsius degrees, inside already plus forty and rising. The tent sauna is about to heat all partygoers up!
This false-color mosaic, made from infrared data collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveals the differences in the composition of surface materials around hydrocarbon lakes at Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan is the only other place in the solar system that we know has stable liquid on its surface, though its lakes are made of liquid ethane and methane rather than liquid water. While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole.
Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light), green 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light), and blue 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light).
The orange areas are thought to be evaporite -- the Titan equivalent of salt flats on Earth. The evaporated material is thought to be organic chemicals originally from Titan's haze particles that once dissolved in liquid methane. They appear orange in this image against the greenish backdrop of Titan's typical bedrock of water ice.
In this mosaic, Kraken Mare, which is Titan's largest sea and covers about the same area as Earth's Caspian Sea and Lake Superior combined, can be seen spreading out with many tendrils on the upper right,. The big dark zone up and left of Kraken is Ligeia Mare, the second largest sea. Below Ligeia, shaped similar to a sports fan's foam finger that points just up from left, is Punga Mare, the third largest Titan Sea. Numerous other smaller lakes dot the area. Titan's north pole is located in the geographic location just above the end of the "finger" of Punga Mare.
The annotated version of this image highlights a high-resolution strip and shows the north pole marked with a red cross. Other smaller lakes are also labeled.
An unannotated version is also available.
The data shown here were obtained by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer during a close flyby of Titan on Sept. 12, 2013.
Until now, the spectrometer has only been able to capture distant, oblique or partial views of this area. The Sept. 12, 2013, flyby provided better viewing geometry. And sunlight has begun to pierce the winter darkness that shrouded Titan's north pole at the time of Cassini's arrival in the Saturn system nine years ago. A thick cap of haze that once hung over the north pole has also dissipated as northern summer approaches. And, thankfully, Titan's beautiful, almost cloudless, rain-free weather continued during this flyby.
The resolution varies across this composite view depending on when each cube of data was acquired, but the best surface sampling is 2 miles (3 kilometers) per pixel.
Views of this area by other Cassini instruments include PIA17471, PIA17472, PIA17473 and PIA14584 from the imaging science subsystem; and PIA10008 and PIA17031 from the radar mapper. An earlier VIMS view can be seen at PIA16845.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. VIMS operations are based at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

This is a subject that I am actually quite interested in because I often see women in various incarnations of the photo above. I wish I had the cojones to have friendly dialogue with someone who wears the full face mask (that is usually not very discreet), long sun visor (that some versions can look like a welding mask) and/or the long shirt and gloves (which I suspect is not just about avoiding skin cancer) to better understand the cultural differences.
I guess the fascinating thing to me that I try to understand is the "mindset". Honestly, if that were me, I would be uncomfortable going out in public. However, quite contrary, I have never sensed any uneasiness from people who look similar to this photo in the United States, where although it is becoming more common to see this, it is definitely not mainstream. Whereas in Asia, I presume this is accepted because of serious medical issues like SARS and other cultural differences.
I guess the rhetorical rebuttal to me would be "why don't you dress or look this way." I just really would like to understand better. Feel free to email. Any insight would be appreciated.
One is a painting of a dog called Jock, on the cover of the book 'Jock of the Bushveld', and the other is my girl, Ruby.
Seperated from the same litter perchance? :)
The one in the right didn't allow FTPS members to get inside. nyahahah!
I hate this place 'coz there were a lot of super film cameras that a poor boy like me couldn't afford... SIGH.
These are really amazing. I would love to see the machine that loads dirt into this baby. I would also love to hear this fired up!
just inherited a minolta srT202 from a sweetheart of a girl, look for lots of film photos to come from that guy as i save up gradually for the d300s.
