The North Thompson Recreational Society held their annual Full Moon Howl cross country ski event on Saturday, Jan 26, at the Barriere Forks Trails. The afternoon was filled with exciting races and three-legged ski relays; then followed with a hot chili supper and lots of homemade treats for dessert. After dinner everyone skied by the light of the moon and the flickering candles that were set up along the ski trails. Then came the much anticipated annual visit by a daunting werewolf, who led everyone in howling at the moon. Prizes were awarded to the best female and male howler, and everyone had so much fun the Society is hoping to have another full moon ski next month. Find more photos on page 12. 7

IHA apologizes for error faxing medical records
North Thompson Star/Journal
Lab test results from a number of patients were faxed in error to a business in Barriere in January instead of to a doctor’s office. An Interior Health (IHA) spokesman said last week that an error in punching in the fax number caused the documents to arrive where they didn’t belong. Fortunately, the business quickly returned the documents to IHA. IHA say they take incidents such as this very
seriously, and apologized to those affected by the mistake. The spokesman noted that the information in the errant faxes included names, birth dates, CareCard numbers, etc. In total, approximately 18 patients had their medical information faxed in error, but all were immediately notified by IHA as to the breach in privacy. IHA say they felt the risk was low due to the fact the business immediately noticed the errant faxes and returned them directly to IHA.
