The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) board has appointed two of its directors to participate on the BC Agriculture & Food Climate Action Initiative (BCAFCAI).

Established in 2008 by the BC Agriculture Council with support from the Ministry of Agriculture, the program focus-

es on creating regional strategies and actions for agricultural adaptation to projected climate change impacts.

CRD chair Al Richmond says the BCAFCAI recently sent the board a letter to ask if it would get involved. “[It is] because we have some major agricultural operations in our region, ranching and [farms] and greenhouses. So, we’ve agreed to appoint two people to serve on

that committee.

The new appointees are Area B (Quesnel West-Bouchie Lake) Director Heloise Dixon-Warren and Area F Director (HorseflyLikely-150 Mile House) Joan Sorley.

The initiative’s pilot project also included Peace River Region District, Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Municipality of Delta.

The end result of the CRD’s

involvement will produce Regional Agricultural Adaptation Strategies for the CaribooChilcotin, Richmond notes.

“Our main attraction to this was dealing with the water-management issues. Some of the issues were water supply, storage, drainage, and ditching, and, of course, emergency planning and things like that.”

Then they provided refreshments for the participants as they finished their runs, walks and strolls before cleaning up.

Local runners raise $1,600 at annual Terry Fox Run Gaven Crites Free Press

The annual Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research saw some 80 participants set out from the South Cariboo Visitor Centre in 100 Mile House on Sept. 15.

Locally, the event raised a total of $1,600 for cancer research.

“There were lots of families there and a lot of faces I’ve seen there repeatedly. They come out all the time, so it’s really nice to see that,”

says organizer Shannon Pennicott.

“For some people it was their first time running five kilometres, and that was awesome, too. It was nice to see a lot of people out there running in honour of their family members.”

Pennicott planned on having a new 10-km route this year, but organizers cancelled that plan citing logistical concerns and lack of interest from participants. People completed the 1.5- and five-km routes instead.

…is sponsoring this production of…

“No one seemed to be interested in doing a 10-km run. It was really hot. I think we’ll keep with the five-km run from now on.

“If someone’s feeling ambitious, they can do it twice. We didn’t hear anything about [the 10-km route being cancelled]. I don’t think it was a big issue in the end.”

Pennicott, 44, is a cancer survivor and did the Terry Fox Run for the first time in 2011.

This was her first year organizing the event in

100 Mile House. She plans on organizing it again next year.

“The Terry Fox Foundation is excellent to work with. They have everything so well laid out for you. With the group of volunteers we had that day, it went really smooth.”

Now in its 33rd year, the Terry Fox Run is held in regions all over the world and benefits the Terry Fox Foundation, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research.

The Rebel Garden Zone Campaign is coming to a close and the South Cariboo Sustainability Society thanks all who participated and made our campaign a success!

Water key in planning From 1

The CRD has been looking into climate change impacts on the San Jose Watershed, so the directors wanted to get on board to include those issues in this initiative.

“I think there will be other things that come out of it, but at the time [of our decision], it was the water management

Gort’s cheese products of Salmon Arm suspected in E. coli outbreak

An outbreak of illness caused by E. coli O157:H7 is prompting the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDA) and Interior Health to issue a public alert to avoid consuming cheese products from Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm of Salmon Arm. Anyone with Gort’s cheese products at home or at a retail outlet should immediately dispose of this product.

It is believed this cheese product is distributed throughout the province. The farm operator has also agreed to halt any further shipments of cheese products and to stop selling cheese to the public at the farm.

Currently, it has been confirmed that four people in British Columbia have become ill after consuming the cheese. Another four cases in the province are

under investigation.

If you have eaten this cheese and feel well, there is no need to do anything further.

If you ate this cheese within 10 days and have severe diarrhea or feel very sick, see your health-care provider.

The illnesses began in July with the majority of infected people displaying symptoms in late August to early September.

Public health and

food safety staff from BCCDC and Interior Health are working with counterparts from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Health Canada to investigate this outbreak and prevent further health risks to the public.

Wildfire source unknown

A small wildland fire in Forest Grove had two local fire departments and the Wildfire Management Branch’s Storm Riders working as a mutual force on Sept. 14.

100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Darrell Blades says his crew was called out mid-afternoon to provide mutual aid to Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) for a blaze on private property near the end of Cheetah Road.

The engine, brush truck, water tender, command vehicle and 10 members dispatched from 100 Mile House assisted about a dozen members of the FGVFD with two engines and two water tenders, he explains.

Blades notes the burning wildland generally consisted of a mix of scattered dead pine and fields.

“There was a residence there, but it was quite a way from the house – it was large acreage.”

The blaze didn’t get close

enough to threaten any neighbouring buildings or property either, he says, adding the owner of the residential property was not at home at the time.

Blades notes the cause of the fire was undetermined when his crew left the scene in the hands of the Storm Riders around 6 p.m. It was fully contained at that time, he notes, so it just needed the remaining hot spots dealt with and patrolled.

• E. coli O157:H7 can cause stomach cramps and mild to severe diarrhea that can be bloody.

Sci-Fi stars ‘Take the Sky, at September event in Barkerville

By Fairlith Harvey Fans of hit TV shows, such as The X-Files and Babylon 5, take note: your geekend dreams are about to come true.

Hot on the heels of last year’s successful steampunk-themed Lost in Time event, Barkerville Historic Town is proud to announce the return of all things geek-chic.

Geekenders, Vancouver’s preeminent nerdy event company and theatre troupe, is headed back to Barkerville with a threeday party for anybody and everybody who ever wanted to just put on a costume and be awesome for 72 hours.

From Sept. 27 to Sept.

29, Barkerville will play host to Geekenders Lost in Time 2: Take the Sky – a fun-filled, scifi party-convention that is packing some serious heat.

Author and Babylon 5 star Claudia Christian will be on deck to meet with fans, sign autographs, and pose for

Claudia Christian

photographs on Sept. 28, before jumping onstage at the historic Theatre Royal to perform a 45-minute, Star Trekthemed improv show with Dean Haglund, costar of The X-Files and The Lone Gunman.

Haglund will also be available for photos and autographs by day, and together with Christian, he will join a stunning array special guests and

performers who will appear throughout the three-day Take the Sky event.

On Sept.

27, Vancouver-based actor Michael Schaldemose will perform his oneman tour-de-force “Call Me Kirk” at 9 p.m., and renowned fandom comedians Jesse Inocalla (LEGO’s Legends of Chima, Anime Evolution)

Cadet Alysha Milward earned prestigious award at Vernon

Cadet Alysha Milward of 100 Mile House was the recipient of an Army Navy Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) Cadet Medal of Merit at the Final Parade and Sunset Ceremony at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC) recently.

Milward is a member of 2887 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in 100 Mile House.

ANAVETS is Canada’s oldest veterans association with a proud history dating to 1840.

The ANAVETS Cadet Medal of Merit recognizes the top cadet during the summer’s training at VACSTC on each of the Instructor level courses. In addition to the medal, the cadets are eligible for a $1,000 bursary, which can be applied to any accredited university or community college.

Milward was enrolled in the six-week Drill and Ceremonial Course. The cadets enrolled in this course not only perfected their individual drill, they also learned to teach younger cadets at their home corps. During the summer, they formed Quarter Guards to welcome dignitaries to VACSTC, and provided flag parties for all parades. For the final parade and sunset ceremony, the cadets in the Drill and Ceremonial Course formed the Guard and fired the Feu de Joie, a rapid sequence

Venture Connect business advisor Corey Sigvaldason, left, was the guest speaker at a lunch seminar offered by the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 10. He talked about how local business owners and communities might successfully attract buyers or investors.

Business marketing 101 Carole Rooney Free Press

The ins and outs of “business successorship” was the hot topic at a lunch seminar offered by the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 10.

Venture Connect business advisor Corey Sigvaldason was the guest speaker and he detailed how local business owners looking to attract buyers or investors might successfully do it.

He said Venture Connect offers a business service to help business owners and communities prepare themselves, their business and their buyers for a smooth transition.

Those who wish to sell their operations and retire usually need to plan according to the market conditions, Sigvaldason said, adding this could be two to three years or more in the South Cariboo.

He also pointed to potential negative impacts on small communities when businesses close down due to poor timing, or inadequate marketing exposure and techniques.

Many of Venture Connect’s recommended business strategies are developed based on Statistics Canada information, Sigvaldason added.

He explained due to community demographics, and aging populations in particular, Canada is headed for increasing challenges in business successorship.

“The stats show that about onequarter of all the businesses are looking to exit within five years. The vast majority of that [88 per cent] is due to retirement.”

The Cariboo currently has the second highest distribution of seniors anywhere in the province, with 16 per cent of residents currently over age 65, estimated to reach 26 per cent by 2036, he noted.

This compares to the Peace (nine18 per cent), Central Coast (12-22 per cent) and other regions with fewer seniors, Sigvaldason said, adding the

lone ratio of seniors higher than the Cariboo’s is found in the Stikine (1230 per cent).

He explained 34 per cent of Cariboo residents are 45-64 years of age, with less than 22 per cent between the ages of 25 and 44, as of 2011.

These local demographics can significantly hinder business successorship, Sigvaldason added.

However, the business advisor said many who plan to sell and retire are not adequately prepared beyond hiring a realtor, have no buyer in mind, or simply don’t plan to leave a business in their wake.

“Most don’t really have anyone identified ... and about a third just plan on closing their businesses. “[But], what if it is a product or service that is vital to the community?”

Sigvaldason explained some of the things communities can do include being proactive in getting foreign investors out to the community, and then really showcasing it, such as doing a familiarity tour.

“People who are coming into the country [often] don’t know the difference between Richmond, Surrey, Kelowna, 100 Mile House or Fort St. John. They’ve probably heard of Vancouver ... but they don’t necessarily care.”

That business decision opens the door for investors to consider the South Cariboo, he explained, and often includes family and lifestyle considerations the community and its business sellers can pose as viable options.

Buyers look for what sort of recreation facilities, schools and recreation opportunities are available, Sigvaldason added.

“In 100 Mile, you actually have a lot of that, and can look very, very good to a lot of potential buyers. We have to position ourselves in front of them.”

Costs of recycling shakeup under fire at UBCM

r HANGS e g n a IT UP e h H

Civic leaders spar with head of Multi Material BC Jeff Nagel Black Press

On Sept. 16, British Columbia civic leaders grilled the head of a new industry-led recycling agency over the costs and downsides of the new system set to replace municipally run blue box pickup next spring.

V a n c o u v e r Councillor Adriane Carr said she’s “gravely concerned” that Multi Material BC’s $110-million annual budget to recover packaging and printed paper provincewide is much lower than the $190 million already spent each year in Metro Vancouver alone on recycling services.

“If there are significant cost reductions, you have to ask what are the service reductions?”

Carr warned it would be “backwards” if cities that have built strong recycling programs now see them shrivel under MMBC. She and other municipal delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention pressed MMBC managing director Allen Langdon to increase the prices offered to local cities to act as collectors under the new system.

Langdon said he’s willing to talk to concerned cities, but gave

Get cted! ne Con

no sign of sweetening the offers already made.

“There’s a limit to what producers can actually sustain,” he said, referring to the firms that are responsible for recovering packaging and paper under new provincial regulations.

Nor would he commit to specific targets for reducing the amount of packaging encasing goods sold in B.C. Langdon said producers will pay their share of the program based on how much packaging they generate, giving them a price signal to reduce their packaging or make it more recyclable.

However, Carr said that could still allow producers and retailers to simply pass the extra costs along to consumers through higher prices without actually

reducing their environmental footprint.

Many cities refused to sign on by a Monday deadline to act as collectors of recyclables under proposed contracts, either indicating they’ll keep running their own systems without MMBC financial aid or else they’ll leave the job entirely for MMBC to contract out to private collectors.

However, MMBC agreed to let cities take more time and join the program after the scheduled May 19 launch date, setting the stage for more negotiations.

Langdon said the new system will be a “significant change” for cities used to controlling recycling service, but added many municipalities that sign on will have “most if not all” of

their costs covered.

However, he confirmed Lower Mainland residents could lose curb-side pickup of glass if a new private contractor takes over blue box pickup in their city.

He said new collectors can propose a depot system instead for glass but that MMBC will have the final say.

MMBC wants to reduce contamination of blue box recyclables by keeping glass separate.

Other materials that will be accepted only at depots include polystyrene foam and polyethylene film.

MMBC states its recycling program will add 10 new categories of packaging not now accepted in blue boxes and it will be consistent province-wide, making public education easier.

“When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and law-andorder advocates, the question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emergency department report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said.

“If we make it more available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?”

The government is inviting public comments until Oct. 3 at www.gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview.

The site also lists submissions from health

care, police and alcoholic beverage industry representatives.

The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spirits, and a 10-year moratorium on new private store licences was lifted.

When the consultation was launched in August, Yap said licences for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered.

Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restaurants.

Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, larger grocery stores, or

The B.C. Liberal government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in grocery stores.

“Washington State is the model I favour,” a Lower Mainland resident wrote on the British Columbia government’s new consultation web-

site on Sept. 16.

“No government involvement in retailing – period. Just enforce the legal drinking age.”

The government’s point man on liquor reform, RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap, posted his comments on the subject the same day. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward

Lynne Schweb and her dog Dex wait for their turn to compete at the recent Third Annual Sandhill Lea Sheepdog Trial.

Sheep Dog Trials were well worth attending

By Reg Berrington

The Third Annual Sheep Dog Trials were held at the Sandhill Lea Ranch on Abel Lake Road on Aug. 31-Sept.

1.

The weather was fantastic both days making it perfect for the event.

There were around 26 dogs and handlers participating in 54 runs.

Each dog and handler

started with 100 points, and if any infractions occur, points are deducted.

There are two sheep and two lambs in each run. The goal of the dog and handler is to navigate the flock through three gates and then into a pen.

Once accomplished, the flock is then released and driven into

No visit scheduled for 100 Mile House From 15

• Flexibility exercises; and • Lifestyle modifications and energy conservation methods for individuals with fatigue.

This year, there will not be a separate session in 100 Mile House.

However, anyone living outside of Williams Lake is welcome to attend this outreach meeting.

The Interior Health Connections bus travels from 100 Mile House

to Williams Lake on Wednesdays, which may be a suitable travel option for those interested in joining the sessions. Call 250-3952834 for details about this affordable service.

Folks who have any questions/suggestions regarding this outreach visit, or wish to register to attend, can contact Cyndi Lion, community services co-ordinator, at the Kamloops Chapter office 1-888-304-6622, or e-mail Cyndi.lion@ mssociety.ca.

WHAT IS HEAVEN REALLY LIKE? Is there really something after?

Will you see your loved ones?

a large shedding circle where the dog has to split the flock of four into two groups of two.

The allotted time for the run is 11 minutes.

A judge and timekeeper monitor each run. There is only one judge in this type of event as well as a timekeeper who clocks the 11 minutes with a stopwatch and advises the judge when the run is completed.

This year it was Joe Haynes from Arlington, Washington. He and his wife operate a farm with 60 to 120 sheep depending on the season. The sheep are raised for their wool and meat.

Their sheep, known as Katahdin Hair Sheep,

don’t require shearing each year because they have a shedding coat (it removes easily).

Lorne Landry and his wife are the owners of Sandhill Lea Ranch where the Sheep Dog Trials were held. Lorne participated in some of the events.

The setting up of the course is a major process and is accomplished with the assistance of volunteers.

There were many campers and trailers, and a guest parking area.

Admission was free and a concession trailer was also available.

This is definitely an event everyone should consider attending next year.
