Map of America: American Shannon Downey of Chicago, Illinois, loves to embroider. She finds and buys unfinished craft projects at estate sales, which she finishes and donates. She met her match, however, when she bought a huge unfinished quilt and embroidery project of a United States map showing each state’s flower. Not knowing how to quilt, she put out a plea on social media and soon had lots of help. She mailed sections to her helpers, who were asked to mail them back. Downey intends to finish the project that had been started by a woman named Rita Smith, who passed away at age 99.
Long lashes: Two pretty cocker spaniels, who are sisters, are apt to make fashion models jealous. The dogs, Cloe and Nena, have extremely long eyelashes that amaze onlookers. Owner Vittoria Di Castri of Milan, Italy, insists that her pets’ lashes are real. She spends hours grooming the dogs, who love all the attention. Di Castri trims and combs the lashes that can grow more than five centimetres (two inches). The canine pooches have become a social media sensation, and they love to pose for the camera.
Natty knitter: Samuel Barsky of Baltimore, Maryland (U.S.), loves knitting and also loves traveling with Deborah, his wife. This creative fellow has found a way to combine the two. Before leaving for a trip, he designs and knits a sweater with an image of a landmark at his destination. He has knit images of the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls, and Stonehenge onto sweaters. Others feature the Statue of Liberty and London’s Tower Bridge. When he visits each landmark, he takes a photo of himself wearing the appropriate sweater. Barsky is starting to make a name for himself on social media.
Missing boy found: A thermal camera drone operator helped bring about a happy ending to the story of a missing boy. Steve Fines offered to help search for Ethan Haus, a little boy who got lost in the woods with his dog near his home in Sherburne, Minnesota (U.S.). Many volunteers came to help as darkness fell. In the past, Fines had used his camera to find missing cattle, but never children! Coordinating efforts with ground searchers, he was able to zero in on Ethan and his dog, remotely lighting the drone so the searchers could find the spot.
“A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” - Dorothy Canfield Fisher
“Our way is not soft grass, it’s a mountain path with lots of rocks. But it goes upwards, forward, toward the sun.”

How We’ll Keep Transmission Low
What the New Normal Means for You
B.C.’s progress in the fight against COVID-19 is a direct result of the sacrifices and decisions that we have all made. To continue to protect seniors and ‘at risk’ people and ensure that our health care system can respond to this dangerous virus, means that we all have to keep doing our part – at home, in the community and at work.
Stay at home and keep a safe distance from family when you have cold or flu symptoms, including: Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, fatigue and/or fever.
Enjoy your small group gatherings but meet outside or in bigger spaces. Continue to be mindful of no handshaking or hugs outside of your family. Air hugs only.
Practice good hygiene including: Regular hand washing, avoid touching your face, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
Keep physical distancing as much as possible when in the community and where not possible, please use a non-medical mask or face covering.
During this phase 2, BC government are asking people to stay close to home and avoid any travel between communities that is not essential.
