Premier Christy Clark sat in the visitor seats of the British Columbia legislature on June 26, as her government’s throne speech renewed the B.C. Liberal commitments from the May election.

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read a brief speech to open a rare summer session of the legislature, reiterating government commitments for four consecutive balanced budgets and a freeze on carbon tax and most personal income tax rates.

Clark attended before returning to duties as premier and a campaign for a seat in Westside-Kelowna in a byelection set for July 10.

“Waiting to take a seat makes it a little bit harder to get down to business as quickly as I’d like, but I’m not letting that get in the way,” Clark told reporters on a visit to a care facility under construction in Saanich.

“We called the legislature back before I had a seat because we want to get this balanced budget passed.”

NDP house leader John Horgan called it a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health care spending below one per cent growth, a target not seen since the Social Credit restraint program of the early 1980s.

The legislature is to sit until July 25, debating the budget and the spending estimates for all government ministries as required by law.

The first order of business on June 26 was the unanimous election of veteran Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda Reid as speaker of the legislature.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal MLA Doug Horne was elected deputy speaker and Burnaby-Edmonds NDP MLA Raj Chouhan is assistant deputy speaker.

‘Dog days of summer’ can be dangerous

By Lorie Chortyk With summer fast approaching, it’s time to remind pet guardians across British Columbia about the serious consequences for pets left inside cars on hot days.

Every year, the SPCA receives hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don’t grasp the danger of this situation. Even if you park in the shade and it seems cool outside when you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car’s interior in no time.

Many people assume they will be just a few minutes at a bank or convenience store, only to be delayed and return too late to save their pet. Pets left in hot cars can begin to suffer irreparable brain damage or death in as little as 10 minutes.

If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, please call the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline (1-855-622-7722), the RCMP or your local police.

Before the authorities arrive, members of the public can help prevent a tragedy by attempting to find the animal’s guardian. If

and 35 years, out for a day of fishing.

Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. However, a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help when the unexpected happens, such as/ falling overboard while trying to net the catch.

Many of today’s anglers are delighted with the PFD models, which are designed especially to suit their needs. They’re rugged, allow for full freedom of movement to cast and are constructed with lots of pockets for gear.

Continued on 10

When choosing their lifejacket, anglers should also check the label to make sure it is Transport Canada approved, is the correct size and fits snugly.

Fishing is a part of

our Canadian fabric and an activity that’s easy to get hooked on.

At this important time of year, the CSBC and BCWF ask those who fish to ‘Get Hooked on Lifejackets,’ too.

Police

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 103 complaints and calls for service during the past week.

Busy long weekend for local RCMP members and 33 warnings were issued. The majority of these offences were speed related.

• There were five incidents of excessive speed.

These speeds ranged from 46 to 64 km/h over the posted speed limit, which resulted in a violation ticket being issued under the Motor Vehicle Act and the driver’s vehicle being towed and impounded for seven days.

• Four drivers were issued violation tickets for being either unlicensed or prohibited from driving.

the car is in a mall or grocery store parking lot, for example, ask to have the owner paged over the building’s PA system. Return to the car to monitor the dog’s condition.

In addition to not leaving pets in the car at this time of year, guardians should use caution when exercising their pets under the sweltering summer sun. A lot of dogs will run and play to the point of exhaustion, and it’s the guardian’s responsibility to make sure that doesn’t happen.

National Fishing Week in Canada The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) remind anglers that wearing their lifejackets is even more important than wearing their ‘lucky fishing hats.”

But they do share one trait – they both have to be worn to be effective.

According to the CSBC and the Lifesaving Society, 80 per cent of recreational boaters who drown each in Canada were not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD). Most of these drownings occur in small, open power boats, accounting for 60 per cent of these preventable deaths. A majority of these victims were males between 19

Some of the volunteers for the Canadian Mental Health Association-South Cariboo Branch took a break from their preparations for the annual Ride Don’t Hide bike ride. There was a good turnout for the fundraising event that was held at the 108 Heritage Site on June 23.

CMHA BC exceeds fundraising goal in Ride Don’t Hide event

Nearly 2,200 cyclists in 13 communities across British Columbia came together to help CMHA surpass its $400,000 fundraising goal to support mental health programs for women and their families.

The money raised from the ride this year will go toward programs to support mental health for women and families.

The event was held on Sunday, June 23 in 13 communities across B.C., as well as in York Region –

an area north of Toronto, Ont. By all accounts, the first province-wide Shoppers Drug Mart “Ride Don’t Hide” in 100 Mile House was a success. In 100 Mile, 69 cyclists participated in the community ride – the total funds raised is still to be determined.

“I would like to thank everyone – especially our event sponsor Shoppers Drug Mart – for making the second ‘Ride Don’t Hide’ event such a tre-

A cataract is any clouding or opacity in the crystalline lens - the transparent lens inside the eye. Most cataracts develop as part of the aging process.

Optometrists feel that prolonged exposure (over years) to sunlight can damage the lens and plays a role in cataract development.

Sunglasses are an effective way of slowing the long-term progress of most cataracts.

Cariboo-Chilcotin receives invasive plant funding

The provincial government has provided $91,000 to the Cariboo Regional District and $22,000 to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Invasive Plant Committee to control the spread of invasive plants.

The funding will be invested in activities, such as raising public awareness, surveying invasive plant populations and actively treating high-priority sites to control the spread of invasive plants.

Invasive plants are not native to a particular ecosystem and have the potential to displace long-established species.

They can cause considerable economic and environmental damage.

Invasive plants may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.

It’s the Wild West

but wIth g ld. ld (and slightly more authentic.)

Lightning strikes more than 20,000 times Wildfire Management Branch (WMB) aircraft based at the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) in Williams Lake patrolled the region during the Canada Day long weekend, looking for possible lightning-strike holdovers (smouldering underground) and other signs of smoke.

Two wildfires were spotted on July 1 by these patrols – both in the Chilcotin. Both of these wildfires were person-caused and are currently under investigation.

So far this season, the Chilcotin has seen 26 person-caused fires and one lightning-caused fire.

There were also two lightning-caused wildfires on July 1, both reported by the public.

WMB aircraft patrolled for holdovers on July 2, concentrating

on the CFC’s northeast region (Horsefly/ Likely/Quesnel Lake/ Cariboo Lake/Bowron Lake areas), where there were hundreds, if not thousands, of lightning strikes over the long weekend.

Throughout the province on July 1, there were approximately 20,000 lightning strikes.

There have been a total of 52 wildfires in the CFC so far this season, 43 person-caused and nine lightningcaused, burning 1,063 hectares.

The CFC reminds the public there is an open burning prohibition in place, banning any waste, slash or grass fires, which came into effect on April 15. The CFC would also like to remind the public to be vigilant with any type of fire use, including campfires.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cell phone.

Be wary of using rechargeable batteries, battery chargers

Devices requiring rechargeable batteries are everywhere – Smartphones, power tools, small appliances such as hand-held vacuum cleaners, and even children’s toys.

Because they are so common, it is easy to forget that these devices and their chargers may create fire hazards.

A house fire in North Grenville, Ont. involved a malfunctioning battery charger that overheated and caused $200,000 in damage. A $450,000 house fire in Kingston, Ont. resulted from using a battery charger with the wrong kind of battery.

“A battery fire could happen if a device with a defective battery is left unattended and it overheats,” says Canada Safety Council (CSC) president Jack Smith.

“Also, wireless devices should be kept away from anything that could catch fire, such as a bed, pillows, or papers.”

To safeguard your home and personal safety, the CSC has the following recommendations for the usage of rechargeable batteries and battery chargers.

• Locate your battery recharging station in a safe area, such as a tabletop clear of any other objects – never near anything flammable. Be careful not to overload any power bars or outlets.

• Whenever possible, recharge batteries while you are present in the home. Have a working smoke detector in the room where the batteries are being recharged, and make sure a fire extinguisher is nearby if needed.

• Shut off batterypowered devices, such as laptops and tablet Prevent E. coli Infection (“Hamburger Disease”)

WEEK OF JULY 7 TO JULY 13, 2013 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Someone you just met can help you to make the most of a difficult situation, Aries. It shouldn’t take too long for you to get back on track and into a groove.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, make sure you assert yourself more in an important meeting this week.

Asserting yourself can help you get ahead at work otherwise you may get overlooked.

© Joanne Young

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, take the initiative regarding a big project this week. Others might want to take the lead, but trust your instincts and take the bull by the horns.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take time this week to finish all of those little projects that have fallen by the wayside. Take advantage of some free time to catch up and clear your slate.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Negotiations will be especially rewarding this week, Leo. Your suggestions are readily accepted, and you do not have to persuade others much at all.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, nothing is free, so don’t be fooled when someone promises you will get something without having to work for it. It’s in your best interest to keep working hard.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you have strong opinions, so don’t be afraid to have your voice heard. People will be receptive to your views, even if they border on the philosophical.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, focus makes it easier for you to resist temptation, but this week you may find that it’s very difficult to maintain your focus. Do your best to stay focused.

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section.

2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together.

The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have.

3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized.

4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases.

5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people.

6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.”

7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage.

8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself.

9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding.

10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

Surrey duo arrested in bomb plot

Jeff Nagel

Black Press

Two Surrey residents accused of planting pressure cooker bombs outside the British Columbia legislature on Canada Day are described by police as “Al-Qaeda-inspired” but “self-radicalized.”

B.C. RCMP arrested John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody in Abbotsford at 2 p.m. on July 1 after a five-month investigation that began in February.

The alleged homegrown terror plot is similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombers, who used pressure cooker bombs to send shrapnel

RCMP seized three explosive devices made from pressure cookers that contained nails, bolts, nuts and washers that were placed on the legislative assembly grounds.

1-800-222-TIPS

Business break-in On June 26, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of break-and-enter to a business in the 300 block of Birch Street in 100 Mile House.

Unknown culprits pried open a rear door and gained access to the business. They appeared to have been scared away when the audible alarm went off and nothing appeared to have been taken from the store.

Shed break-in Sometime between June 8 and 27, unknown culprits broke into a shed on a property on Eagan Lake and stole several items, including fuel containers, a log splitter, a weed-eater and life jackets.

If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.

Korody, 29, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity.

“These individuals were inspired

by Al-Qaeda ideology,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said. “Our investigation has determined this was a domestic threat without international linkages.”

The alleged motive of the two accused is not clear, but there is no indication of any connection to Islamic beliefs or religion.

The RCMP stated the pair “took steps to build explosive devices and place them at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria where crowds were expected to gather on Canada Day.” The legislative lawn and inner harbour were crowded with an estimated 40,000 revellers for the Canada Day concert and fireworks.

Police aren’t saying if undercover officers were working with the duo, but Malizia said they were being closely monitored and police ensured the bombs were inert and could not detonate.

“While the RCMP believed this threat was real, at no time was the security of the public at risk. We detected the threat early and disrupted it.”

The arrests were made after a joint investigation of the RCMP E Division, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the Canadian Continued on 12

Police call it case of domestic terrorism, inspired by ‘Al-Qaeda’ From 11

Security Intelligence Service, dubbed Project Souvenir.

“I want to reassure our citizens that at all times during the investigation, our primary focus was the safety and protection of the public,” Malizia said.

Nor was the Canada Day crowd in Victoria the only potential target that may have been contemplated.

“The suspects were committed to acts of violence and discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout said, adding they were “self-radicalized” and aimed to cause “maximum impact to Canadian citizens at the B.C. Legislature on a national holiday.”

A variety of covert investigation methods were used to control

any method the suspects had to commit harm, he added.

Rideout said the bombs are believed to have been made in Surrey and at other locations in B.C. “As these devices were constructed, we were in very tight control. We were confident that public risk was absolutely minimized.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the two alleged terrorists have lived in Surrey for about 18 months and had a transient lifestyle, moving fluidly in the region from Delta to Surrey to Vancouver.

She couldn’t say whether the pair had substance abuse issues.

“I can’t confirm that, I know that they had significant challenges in their life,” Watts said.

She also understands they gathered much of their information about what they were doing

from the Internet.

“I think they’re fairly unsophisticated,” Watts said.

Korody has no prior criminal charges, but Nuttall was convicted of robbery in 2003 in Victoria and received an 18-month conditional sentence. An addicted drug user at the time, Nuttall had hit a businessman on the head with a rock and stole his briefcase.

In March 2010, he was convicted of assault, mischief and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose – also in Victoria – and received a 60-day conditional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation.

Nuttall and Korody appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on July 2 and make their next appearance July 9.

Victoria was the site of at least one terrorist plot in the past, the

Millennium bomber plot in 2000. Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian member of Al Qaeda, assembled bomb materials while staying at a Vancouver motel, then loaded them in the trunk of his car and travelled to Victoria.

Ressam attempted to enter the United States on the MV Coho ferry from Victoria to Washington, but he was arrested by U.S. border security at Port Angeles.
