Ranch still a family affair Continued from p. 6
present managers, continuing the Dougherty family heritage. One of the highlights of the Clinton Cattlemen’s Anniversary celebrations a few years ago was the presentation of a government plaque designating the Maiden Creek Ranch as a “Century Ranch”. On hand to receive that plaque were Helen (Dougherty) Cade and
her four children: Linda Collins (who died in 2010), Ray, Chuck, and Ken Dougherty. The ranch has been inducted into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame as the oldest known operating ranch in the province still in the same family. Wth historical assistance from Kay Gordon, Virginia Ambler, Helene Cade, and Connie Dougherty.
Campfire ban throughout Kamloops Fire Centre area As of Fri. Aug. 17, all campfires are banned in all areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre except the Clearwater Fire Zone. A map of the area covered by the campfire ban is available online at http://bit.ly/Q0tEMK This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The fire danger rating is currently “high” throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, with scattered pockets of “extreme.” With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires. Open burning is prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre. This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane, or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, li-
quid, or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The open burning prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown, and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison, and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. This prohibition will remain in place until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. Other Fire Centres also have campfire bans in place, so anyone planning on travelling should check local conditions.
