The Logger Chix teammates were rookies for this year’s race, organized by the Forest Grove 94 Lions, but took home the honour for having the best costumes. They say they’re coming back next year to win it all with a sturdier boat.

Liberals to fund day care
BCTF, NDP decry spending of earmarked education money Carole Rooney Free Press
To help cover added day-care costs, Education Minister Peter Fassbender has pledged to pay $40 a day to parents of students under age 13 if the teachers’ strike continues into the upcoming school year. British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker says taking this tactic is a “blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools.” The provincial government should redirect its energies into reaching an agreement with B.C. teachers through mediation this summer, he explains. Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association (CCTA) president Murray Helmer says Fassbender’s move could extend the dispute because now “everyone will have
to compromise even more” with a “In a class of 30 students, at $40 smaller pot of money to work with. a student that is $1,200 a day. The Helmer says he thinks the pres- amount of service improvement sure from parents to resolve the we’re looking for doesn’t cost anyimpasse in education bargaining is where near that; they could take care on both sides – they just of the needs of those stuwant to see their children dents in the classroom quite back in school. handily.” It is a removal of preNDP education critic Rob ordained funding out of Fleming says his party is education where it is “obvicalling on the B.C.

CCTA president is uncertain if he will receive much indication on how that went until a general union assembly scheduled to happen just over a week before school is due to resume. Meanwhile, he notes Fassbender’s manoeuvre to use teacher’s lost wages in an attempt to appease parents is “not a helpful move” and signals a negative view of any chance for resolution. Says Helmer: “It appears to be more of a slap in the face than it does as some actual positive move from the government. The focus has shifted away from the bargaining table.” He adds government appears to be indicating it sees no end to the dispute by fall, so it is handing out help to parents, rather than moving forward toward a solution. “I’m saying, let’s put it all out there and make sure that school is up and running on Sept. 2.”

Buurmeester: ‘Lucky to be here’ Local welder grateful for support in wake of serious injury at lumber mill
Gaven Crites Free Press
Free Press
Two Tsilhqot’in Nation bands have called for a mineral exploration company to stop drilling on land near but outside its traditional territory in central British Columbia formally recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada in June. A news release from Aug. 5 criticizes Vancouverbased Amarc Resources Ltd. and the provincial government over a failure to meaningfully consult with the Xeni Gwet’in and Yunesit’in First Nations prior to deploying diamond drills in the Upper Taseko region. Chief Roger William of the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation says the remote area, located close to the proposed New Prosperity Mine site, is environ-

little boy. Her son, Clay, was the same age and they knew each other growing up. Sadly, Clay passed away in 2011. There’s an annual fishing derby held in Clay’s honour now, and Peters got the news about Buurmeester’s injury right as the derby ended last month. Peters says she was devastated by the news, and it goes to show how quickly life can change. “I’m so thankful Terry came tonight and I can actually see him. It’s going to be a long recovery, but it’s still amazing. “I’m so thankful that Terry is here. For his family, and for all of us. Once they’re gone, it’s a big, hard thing to miss. And you don’t know that until they’re gone.” Buurmeester says doctors haven’t said “anything solid” about what his recovery will look like. As far as a timeline goes, he’s scheduled for
surgery in about six weeks and says they’ll probably reassess things then. He knows it’s still going to take some time, but he thinks he’s “ahead of the game right now,” and says he’s really just looking forward to getting back to work and day-to-day life. Sitting in a chair in the packed, noisy bowling alley, pins crashing and cheers going up, Buurmeester was asked what he thought was most important for people to know about his story. “How much I love and appreciate my family and friends and this community,” he replies. “I hope that one day I can repay everyone for all their generosity and hard work. Everyone is looking out for me. It’s really an overwhelming feeling. It brings a tear to your eye when you think about. I’m extremely lucky in many different ways. I’m lucky to be here.”

FAST bytes Spectra Energy hosted a pipeline safety course for the Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department (LLHVFD) members on July 30. Upon completion of the training, Spectra representatives presented LLHVFD fire chief Terry Murphy with a $5,500 cheque to use toward the purchase of a thermal imaging camera, which firefighters use to detect heat signatures from bodies and hotspots at fires.
T
erry Buurmeester was at a loss for words, but, eventually, he found some. Slowly, with the help of a walker, the 42-year-old welder occupied a seat inside the 100 Mile Bowling Lanes on Aug. 5, where dozens of friends were rolling in support of him and his family. Everyone was thankful he could even make it. Nearly a month ago, Buurmeester was hurt while doing subcontracting work at 100 Mile Lumber, a timber mill operated by West Fraser Mills Ltd. on Exeter Road in 100 Mile House. He was in a Kelowna hospital for two weeks after that, about half that time in intensive care, and while he can’t say much about the incident, citing an ongoing WorkSafeBC investigation, he does disclose his urethra was detached and his pelvis broken in seven places, suggesting his midsection was crushed. “It was tough,” Buurmeester says of his time in hospital. “I was so in and out and in a lot of pain, and wondering what’s going to happen? And what’s my future like? A lot of unknown stuff. It was really hard.” Buurmeester and his wife, Diana, have three teenagers, aged 13, 14 and 19, and a 15-monthold grandson. Buurmeester is a lifelong 100 Mile House resident. He says the injury is by far the most traumatic thing he’s ever gone through and the community support in the wake of it has been “overwhelming.” He says he feels blessed. “It’s hard to put into words. It helps the healing process – knowing so many people are looking out for you, so many people are praying for you, and going to bat for you. “Everyday I wake up and I’m thankful for a lot of little things. It’s been a big eye-opener for me as far as life itself. It’s so important ... just being here. It’s a gift.” The fundraiser, put on by new bowling alley owners Kelly and Ingrid Ricketts, is a perfect example of the community coming together to support one of its own in a time of need. Anni Peters, along with her grandson, Zié Soro, 12, were some of the first people to arrive. Peters has known Buurmeester since he was a

mentally sensitive and in the upper headwaters of the Taseko lakes. “Any drilling up there is a big issue for our community, for our Nation, and if there is any mine, we couldn’t see it being approved, especially an open pit mine. We’ve been communicating [with Amarc]. “They said they can’t move. We did send a letter [saying] they need to stop drilling, and to start communicating and consulting with us. I believe they’re still going ahead [with the drilling].” While William admits consultation with the company did take place in the past and exploratory permits were issued, at issue now, he says, is the timing of when the Tsilhqot’in communities were informed about the permit being recently renewed with the company and when they
planned on drilling. “By the time we got the letter and looked into it, they were already putting drill bits in there.” Amarc Resources Ltd. did not return calls for comment. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Mines says the Tsilhqot’in Nations were consulted on the original permit and the permit incorporates water resource protection measures that address the concerns raised by the Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG). “The date extension made to the permit does not change the drill program nor the protection measures and other permit conditions required of the proponent,” David Haslam says.

Thompson Rivers University (TRU) will get $265,000 to fund an additional 52 training spaces for trades key to the liquefied natural gas and other industries. The funding is part of the province’s recent $6.8-million commitment to create 1,424 foundation and apprenticeship seats at 14 post-secondary institutions across British Columbia. New welder, carpenter and electrician foundation spaces will be available to TRU students as early as September.

Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu was recently made the New Democratic Party candidate for the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo race in the next federal election set for October 2015. The seat is currently held by Cathy McLeod, a Conservative who won comfortably in 2011 with 52 per cent of the vote. Close to 20 people filled the United Church in 100 Mile House for Sundhu’s nomination meeting the morning of Aug. 9 – the first of three that day as the candidate also made stops in Clearwater and Kamloops. In a wide-ranging speech, Sundhu talked about his family, life as a South Asian immigrant in the Cariboo, health care, education, worker’s rights, jobs, child poverty, the environment, First Nations, the split between urban and rural voters, politics, and the “ruthless and arrogant” government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. It is Sundhu’s first time running for public office. He is a former Provincial Court judge and formerly practised
in Ottawa. They don’t want somebody that’s basically a rubber stamp for Harper. They want someone to represent their interests from these communities.” The majority of voters in the KamloopsT h omp s on - C ar i b o o riding live in the City of Kamloops, but Sundhu says he will be “actively visiting” smaller communities, such as 100 Mile House, in the coming months, “earning each vote one by one, doorstep to doorstep.”

Volunteers support victims
Carole Rooney Free Press
With wildfires raging around much of the province, it’s reassuring to know the local emergency support service is geared up and ready to help in a crisis. 100 Mile House & District Emergency Support Services (ESS) offers assistance for local victims and evacuees of fires and natural disasters. ESS director Liz Jones says the local group of volunteers operates year-round, and readies its operations and community shelter arrangements for the summer fire season each spring. They are on-call all summer because ESS ensures its volunteers can place their family first, including taking seasonal vacations, she notes. Jones explains an oncall record is set up, so everyone can log their planned absences to ensure backups are available and can be easily reached to cover the community should any emergency arise. Then in September, regular general meetings are held and training of new members or skills refreshers get underway again,

DURESS AND UNDUE INFLUENCE
On occasion, clients will tell their lawyers that they have been the victims of duress. Generally speaking, when clients explain what actually happened, it is rare for lawyers to agree that duress has occurred. Traditionally, it was said that duress had occurred if threats of violence were used. Movies and television shows regularly provide examples. “Sign that contract or you’ll never see your kid again.” More recently, the law has started to take a slightly broader view of duress. There can be “economic duress” where extreme financial pressures lead someone to enter into a contract when, in fact, the pressure was so great that there was no true consent to the contractual terms proposed. “Undue influence” involves circumstances where the pressure exerted is more subtle than the overt threats which characterize duress. Allegations of undue influence are sometimes raised in connection with wills. One extreme case was seen in Re Kohut Estate [(1993), 90 Man R (2d) 245 (Man QB)]. In that case, an elderly lady made 7 wills over a period of 8 years. She had two daughters and the daughters alternated as caregivers. As you might have guessed by now, each time that the lady changed her will it was to make the daughter with whom she happened to be living at the time the principal beneficiary. Traditionally, it was hard to prove that a will-maker had been subjected to undue influence. As a result, allegations of undue influence were relatively rare. The new Wills, Estates and Succession Act may change things in this regard. Under this new legislation if undue influence is alleged in circumstances where the will-maker was in a position of dependence, then it will be up to the person who seeks to uphold the validity of the will to prove that no undue influence was exercised. This change is a significant one and will probably lead to an increased number of cases challenging wills on the basis of undue influence. Article written by Centennial Law Corp.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits -- Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand -- with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

Parks no place for pipelines O
n July 19, people gathered in parks across the country to celebrate Canada Parks Day, but in British Columbia, the celebrations rang hollow. Instead, British Columbians were protesting the threat to our world-renowned parks system posed by the Park Amendment Act, which opens the door to industrial research in parks and enables industry to remove land from parks for industrial development. Volunteers fanned out in parks and protected areas across the province to raise awareness of the Park Amendment Act. They talked to park users and encouraged them to write the Environment Minister Mary Polak, demanding she repeal the legislation. As a result of the Park Amendment Act, our parks – built over more than 100 years and covering more than 14 per cent of the province – face the possibility of being overrun

GUEST SHOT
hen Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley copper-gold open pit mine near Likely, 80 kilometres east of Williams Lake, had a partial breach of its tailing pond, which covered four square km., on Aug. 4, it released 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of slurry into Polley Lake. The surge of water and slurry plugged the base at the mouth of Polley Lake as the torrent of water, trees, mud and debris scoured a huge path out of Hazeltine Creek and poured into Quesnel Lake. The breach created havoc for the small community of Likely situated in the pristine wilderness, and because the area is a popular wilderness eco-tourism destination, it quickly became world-wide news. The Ministry of Environment and the Cariboo Regional District acted quickly to get a handle on the situation, as a state of emergency was declared and the assessment of stability and safety got underway. A do-not-use water ban was put on immediately, but was later partially rescinded. Water was tested to determine the level of contamination of the water and slurry that was released, and the affect it had on the local watershed. That testing is ongoing, but preliminary water test results look good with samples falling within the drinking water standards. Mount Polley was opened in 1997, and Imperial Metals had recently expanded the mine and the earthen tailings pond. According to the company, the mine’s ore body doesn’t contain acid-producing minerals, so heavy metal and other contaminants in the ground rock of the mine tailings are not dissolved in the water in high concentrations. However, the investigation into the cause of the breach and the cleanup is ongoing. Obviously, this breach is going to put the future design and maintenance of tailing ponds under more scrutiny. The recent Supreme Court of Canada Tsilhqot’in Decision regarding Aboriginal title changed the game when it comes to resource-extraction development on First Nations land. Already, First Nations people are pointing to the Mount Polley breach and insisting they have to be involved in future development plans right from the beginning in the risk and cultural heritage assessments. They want this to happen before any projects are proposed. Their concern centres on ecosystem protection for plants they use for food and medicine, as well as the animals they use for food. Their greatest concern is the protection of salmon, salmon habitat and the water they swim in. There is a lot of work to be done in the Mount Polley cleanup, as well as in the future of mining development.

protected areas. Prior to the legislation, the provincial government had issued Kinder Morgan permits for “invasive research” – Kinder Morgan’s words, not mine – without the legal authority to do so. The Park Amendment Act simply made legal what until then was being permitted unlawfully. Industry wants to conduct this research as a means to justify park boundary adjustment requests to the provincial government. If the Park Amendment Act is repealed, industrial research cannot be conducted, which would make our parks safe from industrial incursion. Our parks are an ecological and economic asset. They should be protected forever, not sliced and diced for short-term gain. The Park Amendment Act needs to be repealed. Caitlyn Vernon is Campaigns Director with Sierra Club BC, working to keep pipelines and other industrial activity out of B.C. parks.

Prevent next Gaza-Israel War There have been three wars between Gaza and Israel in the past six years.

While many world leaders recognize the necessity of eliminating Hamas – both for the benefit of

Israel and for the Palestinian civilians who suffer negatively both directly and indirectly from the decisions made by Hamas – few have the foresight or vision as to how to accomplish this task. The Palestinian authority does not have the will nor the capability to eradicate Hamas. The Arabs cannot be trusted to do it – with the possible exception of Egypt, which has been destroying terror tunnels in Gaza, enforces the
necessary blockade to stop terror supplies reaching Hamas, and has thwarted an Islamic suicide bomber terror attack and rocket attacks aimed at Israeli civilians in the past month. Israel has the capability to get rid of Hamas, but the world accuses Israel of being too brutal in doing it. The Western countries that could do it know full well if they were to do it they would behave as “brutally” as they accuse Israel
of in the face of Islamic terrorists using civilian human shields, and they would have to come to terms with their hypocritical stance towards Israel. Western countries also have no appetite to fight any Islamic terrorist group – especially one playing hostage to a civilian population. While it is abundantly clear the world is not actually prepared to do what is needed to stop the conflict reoccurring, the West does
have some control. Funds given to the Palestinians should be strictly controlled – it is irresponsible to continue to look the other way while the Palestinian terrorists get rich, buy rockets and invest millions in terror tunnels. Without funds, the terror trade of Hamas will die, even though the ideology of course will not.

Letter writers annoying To the editor: It is amazing of the number of letter writers who did not research the topic of the B.C. Liberal government stating it would provide $40 per child for child care if the teachers don’t sign an agreement prior to the scheduled start of the school year in September before shooting off from the hip. This $40 per child care allowance is not costing the taxpayers anymore money. If these letter writers would have done
their research, they would have read Finance Mike de Jong’s comments: “Cash will be paid using savings made from not having to pay the teachers during the strike.” It’s very annoying and frustrating to read bogus letters from these letter writers.

BC VIEWS
he B.C. Liberal government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now, a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted. This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It
Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. Finally, there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

the province Man facing charges for brandishing gun downtown KELOWNA - A Kelowna man faces a number of criminal charges after brandishing a gun in the downtown core Saturday afternoon. While on patrol in the Bernard Avenue area Aug. 9, a member of the Kelowna RCMP was approached by several witnesses who reported that a man was observed brandishing a handgun and threatening to harm himself, said Const. Jesse O'Donaghey. The 23-year-old man, who did not threaten any members of the public, fled on foot when one of the witnesses tried to intervene. "Police conducted extensive patrols of the downtown and quickly located the suspect in the 700 Block of Saucier Avenue," said O'Donaghey. "Through the successful use of police training and deescalation techniques, the man was arrested without incident. Although uninjured, he was transported to Kelowna General Hospital for any treatment he might require. He's now facing charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and unauthorized possession of a weapon. He will appear in court Sept. 11. Work continues at memorial TERRACE - Bill McRae Jr. has spent the last two months finishing the loggers’ memorial on his property just off the side of Hwy16 at Usk east of Terrace. The site now includes landscaping in addition to a rock memorial and large statue carved out of wood which was unveiled in the spring. The memorial, conceived by McRae and erected with the help of friends and donated time and material, pays tribute to loggers killed on the job in the region over the years. As of the latest count, more than 70 loggers killed have been listed at the memorial. The wooden statue, created by local chain saw carver J.J. Jung, displays a logger wearing a 1950s era hard hat holding a large saw. It’s believed to be the only memorial of its kind in the province and began as a tribute by McRae for a friend that was killed.

No, it doesn’t matter where you go, you get it anyway. They are everywhere. If I want to go somewhere, I just go. My daughter lives in Kelowna, and they are still working; it is business as usual during those fires.
No. We came from Alberta, just to have a place to bring our boat. It was too busy in the Okanagan and Shuswap, so we Google searched and found a rental house on Horse Lake. It’s our first time here; it is beautiful.
Nope. We always come up here. We live in West Kelowna so the fires were nearby before, but it is a different part of Kelowna where the current fire is burning, and it is not near our place – hopefully.

About 250,000 couples in Canada are trying to have children but are unsuccessful. Infertility is defined as an inability to conceive following 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The causes vary and can be found in either the man or the woman. Testing can determine the cause and the results can dictate various alternatives to achieving a successful pregnancy. Carrying a list of all the medications you take is a good idea. This list should include both prescription and non-prescription drugs. It can be helpful when traveling or if you have to see a doctor other than your own in an emergency situation. Your list will save time and help you get treatment more quickly. A survey of the top ten prescribed drugs of 2013 still shows a thyroid replacement drug on top followed by a drug for reducing cholesterol, four blood pressure medications, two antidepressants and one blood thinner.

Police
report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 79 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Radar stop turns up pot Around 5:50 p.m. on Aug. 9, a member of the Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services was conducting radar enforcement on Cariboo Highway 97 near Bullock Lake Road, near 83 Mile. A 2010 Ford F-150 was observed travelling southbound at a high rate of speed. As a result of the infraction, the vehicle was stopped. Due to the smell of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, all four youths driving in the vehicle were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. The resulting vehicle search revealed six small bags of marijuana, two grinders and a large smoking bong, which were seized by police.
Spousal assault On Aug. 6, 100 Mile House RCMP were called to attend a residence in Deka Lake, which involved a domestic altercation. A 76-year-old Deka Lake man became irate with his spouse when she did not make coffee. The incident escalated from an argument to violence. The man involved was arrested for assaulting his spouse and has subsequently been released on a promise to appear in court. Charges of assault contrary to Section 266 of the Criminal Code are being recommended to Crown counsel. Contract dispute On Aug. 05, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a 9-1-1 call to assist with a disturbance that was taking place at the construction site of a local 100 Mile House business. The incident involved a dispute over a construction contract. A local contractor who had attended the building site lost his temper when he discovered that he had not been hired
to do a job to which he felt entitled. The contractor proceeded to assault and threaten one of the project managers. As a result, the contractor was arrested and later released on a promise to appear in court with no-contact conditions with the manager. Charges of assault, uttering threats and causing a disturbance are being recommended to Crown counsel.
ATV rules Between Aug. 5 and 12, 100 Mile House RCMP received a number of reports from across the detachment area of persons driving ATVs and off-road dirt bikes on public roadways, creating significant safety concerns in the process. This has been an ongoing problem over the past years, particularly during the summer months. With people from out of the area vacationing at summer properties, the temptation to ride off-road vehicles down the public roads is significant. The police realize it is much easier to ride

“Consultation on the permit was undertaken under the Tsilhqot’in Framework Agreement (now the Tsilhqot’in Stewardship Agreement) between the Tsilhqot’in Nation and the province. The province takes the concerns raised by the TNG seriously and wants to work constructively with TNG on meaningful consultation as provided for
under the agreement.” The exploration permit is located approximately 30-kilometres southeast of the Tsilhqot’in title area that was declared in the landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision, Haslam adds. “The province will continue to seek opportunities to meet with TNG in order to address their concerns and assist discussions between them and the proponent as needed.”
down the public road rather than using a trailer to transport offroad vehicles to a trail head. This being the case, the RCMP remind recreational riders that although the Cariboo Regional District is a rural area, the Motor Vehicle Act applies to all publicly maintained roads within the CRD. The use of ATVs and dirt bikes without insurance on public roads is an offence under Section 24(3)(b) of the Motor Vehicle Act of British Columbia. Persons apprehended by police in breach of this law will be subjected to a $598 fine and vehicle towing charges, if applicable. The public is requested to use off-road trails only, to respect the rights of the private land owners, and to wear proper safety attire, including a helmet. Canoe journey The 100 Mile House RCMP recently partnered with Canim Lake Wellness Centre to host a mini canoe journey, which was held at the Canim Lake Resort. Approximately 50 residents of Canim Lake attended over the twoday period. Roughly half of the participants
were youths between four and 20 years of age. A good time was had by all exploring the wonders of nature and socializing during the event. Food was provided on both days by the Wellness Centre. The 100 Mile House RCMP and Canim Lake Wellness Centre would like to thank all of the people involved for their support and for volunteering their time to make this event happen. Roadside checks Many residents of 100 Mile House and area have probably noticed a number of police roadside checks during the past week. Officers have been stepping up enforcement efforts to keep impaired driving offences in check. It is noteworthy that of the numerous vehicles stopped by police, there were no liquor impairment infractions discovered. The public should expect continued checks in the 100 Mile House area as police continue to try and keep area roads safe. The police would like to thank those who volunteer as designated drivers to keep their friends and the public safe.

Log export quotas may be helpful Ban on log exports from B.C. may cripple industry A ban on log exports would likely hurt British Columbia’s forestry and logging industry, concludes a recent study by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “An outright ban on log exports from B.C., as advocated by many union leaders, environmentalists and politicians, would likely cause economic damage, particularly to B.C.’s coastal regions where the majority of B.C. log exports originate,” said Joel Wood, study author and senior fellow at the Fraser Institute. Instead, the study, Log Export Policy for British Columbia, highlights a possible “export quota policy,” which would allow log producers to export a fixed amount of logs, and notes the many restrictions on log exports and their impact on the industry. The provincial government owns most of B.C.’s forests and sells timber to the private sector for processing. Therefore, as an active business partner, the government should seek the highest price for its product, but government restrictions limit exportation, Wood said. For example, before exporting a log, log producers must first offer the log to domestic buyers, and then a government committee decides whether the offer is fair, he added.
“The current log export process is wasteful, adds significant delays, and creates uncertainty for logging companies. An export quota policy, however, would streamline the process and eliminate delays and uncertainties.” Moreover, limits on log exports increase supply in the domestic market and drive down domestic prices, he notes. For example, in 2011, B.C.’s forestry and logging sector contributed $1.77 billion to the province’s GDP (the total dollar value of all goods and services produced in B.C.). That year, coniferous logs sold domestically on the Vancouver log market for $74.28 per cubic metre while exports sold for $108.35. Only seven per cent of the 2011 log harvest was exported, despite foreign market demand for B.C. logs. Finally, the study notes that removing restrictions on log exports as part of a trade agreement with China, for example, could provide leverage for negotiators and benefit both B.C. and Canada. “A complete ban on log exports, while politically beneficial for many politicians, may cause unnecessary damage to one of British Columbia’s premier natural resource industries. “If policy-makers in British Columbia want to maximize logging’s potential, they should measure the costs of delay and uncertainty imposed by the current export approval process and work to reform the process for the benefit of British Columbians,” Wood concluded.

Crews responding to new wildfires
The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) has responded to 25 new wildfires since the B.C. Day long weekend and lightning is believed to be the cause of all these fires. Although some of these fires may be visible from local communities, there is currently no threat to any structures or communities. There was one in the 100 Mile House Fire Zone and it was located southeast of Needa Lake, which is just north of Sheridan Lake. This 0.1-hectare fire was discovered on Aug. 2. Air tankers and helicopters performing
bucketing action were initially assisting ground personnel. The fire danger rating in the 100 Mile Zone is currently “moderate” through “high.” The CFC has responded to 101 wildfires since April 1, and 13 of these wildfires were located in the 100 Mile House Zone and nine of those were caused by lightning. With the recent increase in fire starts, the CFC is urging the public to be extremely cautious with campfire use. Campfires are allowed in the CFC east of the Fraser River, but they remain prohibited west
of the river. Keep your campfires small, safe and supervised at all times. Campfires cannot be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool, such as a shovel, or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. A Category 2 and Category 3 Continued on A17

groups state the Park Amendment Act, which was rammed through in March with little debate and no public or First Nations consultation, also paves the way for the removal of park land, under the Park Boundary Adjustment Policy, for a variety of industrial activities, including oil and gas development and logging. However, Polak says proponents seeking to move park boundaries have to go through the rigorous boundary adjustment policy and process.

Two days before Canada Parks Day (July 20) British Columbia Environment Minister Mary Polak released a statement regarding B.C.’s boundary adjustment policy and recent amendments to the Park Act. “I want to be absolutely clear – the Park Amendment Act does not allow, promote or otherwise enable industrial projects in provincial parks and protected areas. Suggestions that future industrial operations will be allowed in parks are simply not true.” There will be no drilling, no mining, no forestry, no transmission lines and no gas wells in our parks, Polak adds. In a joint press release, however, the Sierra Club BC, BCGEU, the B.C. chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and the Wilderness Committee state the new legisla-

Garlic festival reeks of recreation
Carole Rooney Free Press
The 15th anniversary celebration of the South Cariboo Garlic Festival happens Aug. 23-24, and it is sure to be a smash hit with astronomic – and gastronomic – fun for young and old. Organizer Jeanette McCrea says there are some new twists this year – the fifth annual event at the current Lac la Hache festival grounds. The Garlic Festival will celebrate its 15th anniversary since originally founded by Gail Szolosi in Forest Grove, she adds. “Bring the family and come on out for a stinkin’ good time.” It all happens at the Felker Homestead on Highway 97 just north of central Lac la Hache. Last year, 4,000 attendees, both local and visitors from far away and abroad took in this large family festival (with plenty of parking), McCrea notes. She says the top 3 recipe entries for the 2014 Master Garlic Chef finalists have been chosen and notified, and will be participating in the Master Garlic Chef Cook-Off challenge during the event. They include last year’s defending champion, Emma Bautista, who took first place in 2013 with her super,
garlicky Adobong Manok with Baquio Beans. As always, the Garlic Eating Contest will be a main festival feature complete with the unfailing contorted faces and hilarious heaves that go hand-inhand with consuming multiple raw heads of the “stinking rose.” The ever-lovely – if stinky – Garlina will be joined this year by Billy Barker, so McCrea says there may be a garlic-budding romance in the pungent air this year. A lot of new faces will be among the numerous vendors offering everything from fresh garlic and garlic products to clothing and jewelry, soaps and pottery, and much more. For a special treat this year, the Dr. Oetker foods company will be on site giving out free samples of its frozen pizzas. The tasty food vendors will offer snacks and meals such as breakfast buns, pastries,
pulled pork, sausage burgers, garlic burgers, mini donuts, as well as another new introduction – garlic ice cream. Entertainment will once again feature the hugely popular Elvis (Steve Elliott), as well as musical groups Point Blank and the Amber Brown Band; singers Emaline Delapaix and Candace Copely; and family entertainer Mat Duffus. McCrea says another inaugural activity offered this year is an interdenominational church service on the Sunday morning at 9 a.m., led by Bruce Wilcox of Lac la Hache. This will be immediately followed by an all-new, Elvis Gospel Hour, she adds. “We’re just going to tie it right in with the service.” The event is open on Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Aug. 24 from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults/students and covers both days and

set up for some shade, she adds. “Come on out and support the community, have a good time and listen to some great entertainment, both local and non-local. There will be something there for everyone.” Visit the website at www.garlicfestival.ca to view a details on the vendors, entertainers, schedules and more general information.

U14 boys leave it all on the field
Gaven Crites Free Press
It was a tough tournament that saw some of the best young teams in the country. 100 Mile N' Hour, a local U14 boys team, finished fourth at the Western Canadian Softball Championships in Lloydminster, Alta. Aug. 1-4. Coach Pat Findlay says the local boys gave it their all up against “huge farm boys” from the Prairies that hit and threw the ball hard. Saskatchewan clubs Prince Albert and Warman finished first and second, respectively, and a Napanee team from Ontario finished third. 100 Mile House was 2-3 out of the round robin, beating teams from Manitoba and Alberta and losing to the aforementioned top three. The top four teams advanced and 100 Mile N' Hour met Warman in the playoffs. “It was our best game of the tournament,” Findlay says. “The boys were all fired up.” 100 Mile had a 2-0 lead

after four innings, but Warman tied it up in the fifth. Then a spectacular play was the turning point, the coach explains.
“Their right fielder made an outstanding catch. We had two [runners] on, and a ball that was going to be hit into the gap, and this young fella
made a huge, diving catch to make the out. Otherwise, that ball would have gone to the fence and we would have scored two runs, maybe three
on it. We ended up scoring none.” “It really got their team fired up and they came out and scored three runs the next inning and that was pretty much it,” he adds. 100 Mile N' Hour, which finished second place at a provincial championship in North Surrey to qualify for Westerns earlier this summer, lost the game 6-2 and missed out on the semifinals and a guaranteed bronze medal. Nonetheless, the whole experience was a great one for players and coaches, Findlay says. “At first, I don't think [the players] really realized how special it was. It took them a couple of games to realize, 'We're at the Western Canadian Championships and it's the opportunity of a lifetime.' They really came to life [against Warman]. I'm super proud of those boys and the effort they put out, and putting our small little town on the map when it comes to fastball.”
Wranglers hosting golf tourney A day after the puck drops in the 100 Mile House Wranglers' home opener on Sept. 19, the local Junior B hockey club is hosting its inaugural Golf Scramble. All funds from the Sept. 20 event at the 108 Golf Resort are going towards assisting a Wranglers alumni in career development. The tournament will see former Vancouver Canucks player Cliff Ronning as a special guest, an auction and prizes. Entry fee is $75 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, a powercart and dinner. People can sign up at the 108 Golf Resort or call 250-791-5212. The 100 Mile House Wranglers made the second round of the playoffs in an inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior
Hockey League in 201314. Their second season starts on the road against the Grand Forks Border Bruins on
Sept. 12, before meeting the Beaver Valley Nitehawks on Sept. 13 and the Spokane Braves on Sept. 14, all of which road games
The Wranglers host the Summerland Steam on Sept. 19 in its home opener at 7 p.m. at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100

Third place for Edle, Vipers Gaven Crites Free Press
Connor Edle sent a couple balls flying out of the park in Battleford, Sask. The 100 Mile House talent played shortstop and centrefield for the Fraser Valley Vipers at the Western Canadian Softball Championships on Aug. 1-4. The tourney saw some of the country's best teams and the British Columbia boys brought home a bronze medal. “It was a lot of fun,” Edle says. “We were a lot better than last year. We had a way better team.” The Vipers, with Edle in the lineup, won the Softball BC 2014 Championship in North Surrey in July before the Western Championship. In 2013, the Vipers were provincial champions as well, and went 3-3 at Westerns that year. In Saskatchewan , the Napanee Express, of Ontario, and the Irma Tigers, of Alberta, won first place and second, respectively. Against Napanee, the Vipers rested their two starting pitchers and threw in Edle,
who pitched in the local men's fastball league in 100 Mile House for Exeter Sporting Goods, on the mound. Needless to say, he faced strong hitters on that championship squad. He can't help but laugh a little bit about the outcome. “They scored 18 runs on me, or something like that,” Edle says. “I won MVP for that game, too. I had one strike out. I thought it was pretty funny.” His weekend highlights were the “two bombs” he hit out of the park for home runs. Third place feels great, he adds. “We went into the
tournament expecting to come out first or second, but we had a lot of injuries. Everybody was beat.” The long softball season will continue
for Edle. He was picked up by Abbotsford Shelcam Construction for a Senior D Men's provincial tournament in Kelowna on Aug. 15-17.
to a first place finish on July 19 for a total of 50 points. M. Szatmari, in the same category, rode to fifth place overall and 32 points on July 20, while coming in sixth overall and 30 points on July 19. Perron raced to fifth overall, and 32 points, in the Junior MX-2 division on July 20 and fourth overall and 32 points on July 19. In Junior MX-3, Perron drove to third overall and 42 points on July 20 and third overall and 40 points on July 19. Perron also raced the Schoolboy division, which saw a dozen riders on the track. The Lac la Hache speedster finished third overall for 38 points on July 20, improving from fifth overall and 32 points on July 19. Next on the BCMA schedule are races in Williams Lake Aug. 16-17 and Chetwynd Aug. 23.

Agriculture land-use input Obituaries sought by ministry
A25
McGregor
Alexandria (Becky) Jager
Farmers, ranchers, urged to comment on ALR zones
Carole Rooney Free Press
Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick visited the South Cariboo on Aug. 1, and met with area farmers and ranchers to hear about their current concerns and ideas. He is also soliciting their input into regulations that will follow Bill 24 - the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) Amendment Act passed in legislature earlier this year. “Bill 24 was passed at the end of the session, but the regulations won’t be considered by government until the fall,” Letnick said. “We have put together a reference group made up of industry folks, ALC folks and local government. We’ve come up with a lot of questions that we are asking the public for input on.” That input period ends Aug. 22, so Letnick advised: “don’t procrastinate, get online or get a document and give us the feedback.” In his local consultations, he met with agriculture stakeholders in Lac la Hache and then at Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s constituency office in 100 Mile House. “I’ve started my annual tour of British Columbia; I call it the Summer Farm Tour 2014. I’m listening to farmers and the ranchers, asking them what can we do together to increase your profitability so that we can have continued growth in agriculture.” In Lac la Hache, he
met with a half dozen people around a kitchen table, he said. “What I heard were some comments on the [Agriculture Land Reserve], in particular, a desire to help kids stay in farming or get into farming ... and, you know, we have been discussing that for years.” Letnick noted other topics of interest included someone who wishes to subdivide a smaller parcel separated from their main ranch by a highway, since it is already cut off from other agriculture operations. “It’s question number 9 – should we just sever a piece of property out of the reserve if it’s separated by a [major] road or waterway.” Barnett later confirmed Letnick listened to similar remarks in the 100 Mile House discussions. Letnick explained that the philosophy of having two agricultural zones in B.C. is done, with Bill 24 having already passed into law, so the public consultation happening now is for the resulting regulations. Zone 2, which includes the Cariboo region, will have more flexibility than Zone 1, he added. “But that flexibility has to have some parameters attached to it, it is not just open season. “We are looking for specific things like how many acres should it be, if you are allowed to do non-farm use on your land, how much of your land should you be allowed to do that

with, is there a limit on time – so with the [regulations] you actually get into the meat of the matter.” Letnick’s prime mandate is to “show that government cares,” he said, adding travelling the province for a month to discuss Agriculture concerns with the public is a tangible way to do that. He explained his ministry has a target to have a $14-billion agriculture industry in B.C. by 2017, a significant increase from the current $11.5 billion. “I’m working with [agriculture stakeholders] and looking for
ideas to help them grow their businesses ... what can we do in government to get out of their way, what can we do more of in government with limited budgets like we always have. “No government has lots of money, so we have to look at the priority areas.”
Sept. 20,1922- July 30, 2014
Input on the ALC regulations can be submitted online at engage. gov.bc.ca/landreserve (supported by an online workbook), by e-mail to norm.letnick.mla@leg. bc.ca, or complete the workbook at Barnett’s constituency office at #6-530 Horse Lake Rd. (in the Pinkney Complex).

As temperatures remain high across our region, many people are hitting the water to keep cool. Interior Health (IH) reminds the public that it’s important to be safe when in, near or on the water. More people die from drowning in the Interior region than in any other area of the province. So far this year, there have been 25 deaths in British Columbia due to accidental drowning, 15 of which have occurred in the Interior. “Water activities like swimming and boating can be a lot of fun and a great way to cool down, but drowning is a real danger,” says Dr. Lizette Elumir, resident public health physician with IH. “Drowning can happen fast, sometimes in less than a minute.” Elumir stresses that prevention is the key to reducing drowning deaths in our region. She offers the following tips: • Always swim with a buddy. • Do not go beyond your abilities. • Do not go farther or into deeper water than you can handle. • Never dive into unknown water. Underwater objects may appear deeper than they are.
• Don’t mix alcohol or other drugs with water activities; these substances can affect judgment, co-ordination and the ability to self-rescue. • Always supervise children when around water; a child can drown in seconds in only a few inches of water. • Install four-sided fencing around pools with a gate that cannot be opened by a child, and child proof or lock doors that open directly to a backyard pool area. • Learn life-saving techniques including CPR and artificial respiration. • Take a marine safety course. • Always wear a life-
jacket when on a boat, personal water craft (such as a Jet Ski), paddle board or any other water craft; nearly 90 per cent of all boaters who drown are not wearing a life-jacket or not wearing it properly. • Always have a spotter when towing people who are skiing, wake boarding or riding on an inflatable. • Use caution when near water. Falling into a pool or other body of water can be very dangerous. If you hit

Power outage safety tips offered
Many British Columbians are on high alert this week as wildfires burn in the north and central regions of the province. Wildfires can spread rapidly and potentially threaten power lines, so it’s important to know, in advance, how to help your family cope with a power outage: • Do not barbecue indoors. Charcoal and gas barbecues and camping equipment release carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless gas. It can be a silent killer if allowed to build up in
enclosed areas. • For the same reason, if you use a generator, make sure it’s outside. • Avoid using candles because they can be a fire hazard. If used, always extinguish candles when leaving a room and be sure the candle-holder is on a stable surface. • Turn on your portable radio for instructions and news reports to ensure you’re able to co-operate with instructions from public safety officials. • To stay connected longer, run
as few apps on your phone as possible, turn down the screen brightness to conserve your mobile phone’s battery. • Make a list of emergency contacts, including 1 888 POWERON (1-888-769-3766) to report a power outage. • Unplug non-critical electronic devices to avoid damage due to a power surge when the power returns. Alternately, use a power protection surge bar approved by the Canadian Standards Association.
• If you encounter a downed power line, stay at least 10 metres away and call BC Hydro immediately. If your vehicle makes contact with an energized line, stay inside the vehicle until help arrives. An essential part of surviving a power outage involves having an emergency kit that will support your entire family for at least 72 hours. Include these supplies in your kit: • A battery operated flashlight; • Extra batteries; • Bottled water – two litres of
A27
water per person per day; • Battery or crank operated clock and radio; • Non-perishable foods; • Medication or other special needs items; • First aid kit; • Warm clothing and blankets; and • Games and books to keep everyone busy For up-to-date information, evacuation orders and public safety notices, visit www.

At the same time, he mentions he doesn’t want art to sound like a task. “Art is accessible and you don’t have to put your life aside to do it.” In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Godin drew editorial cartoons for the Williams Lake Tribune. He had talent for that too, but gave it up after a few years. The only thing he boasts about, he jokes, is a Canadian Newspaper Association award he won for best editorial cartoon in a weekly newspaper. “That’s a national award. I thought, how could I beat that? So, I don’t try anymore.” The Cariboo is where Godin’s love of art blossomed. His sketchbooks are filled with small drawings and notes. It seems he’s always recording and thinking what the next painting will look like. 4093 MCKinley Dr.

is the paint and the brush strokes. He doesn’t want to “spoon feed” onlookers, he says. Instead, he looks for that “little twist on so-called reality,” and let’s viewers sort it out for themselves. “I like that edge,” says Godin. “To me, that’s the magic. When you stop seeing paint and you start to see it being something. I want to stop around that zone.” Godin is vice-president of the Cariboo Artists’ Guild (CAG), a local group that promotes arts and culture in the Cariboo. CAG includes dozens of members and is currently hosting its 34th Annual Show and Sale at Parkside Art Gallery at 401 Cedar Ave. in 100 Mile House. When a painting is good, it’s done quickly, Godin says. The cow took about 45 minutes. “Bad ones, you can work a lifetime on.”

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK ASK AN EXPERT:
ONE STOREY TBM1893
What should I look for when purchasing a water softener? A water softener is a beneficial little appliance that can help rid your hard water of unwanted minerals, which leave a residue behind, create scale buildup in pipes and have other unpleasant side effects. But if you’ve never owned a water softener before or are unhappy with the one you have now, knowing the right kind to buy can be tricky. 1. Take into consideration the number of people in your household. The size of your household, and therefore the number of gallons of water being used every day, will determine the size of the water softener you need. 2. Look for a softener that will work for your level of water hardness. If you don’t know your water hardness level then have it tested at a lab. 3. Determine your household’s minimum softener capacity needs. This is the daily hardness to be removed (see the Tips section for calculating this number) multiplied by the number of days you want to go without the softener regenerating (usually 2 or 3).

4. Decide whether you need your water softener to remove iron, since not all softeners will remove every kind of iron. Again, if this is something you’re unsure of, have your water tested by a local laboratory. 5. Check the size of your water supply line prior to buying a new water softener, especially if your home is relatively new. If your main water supply line is one inch or larger then you will need a higher flow valve on your water softener. 6. Choose a softener based on what controls the regeneration. Some units are controlled by a timer but don’t account for unusually high usage rates and regenerate whether doing so is necessary or not. Demand-initiated regeneration units compensate for these problems and regenerate only when necessary. Tips & Warnings Calculate your total daily water need by multiplying the number of people in your house by the average number of gallons used per person daily, which is around 80. Then multiply that number by the grains per gallon of hardness in your water to get an idea of how much hardness your softener will need to remove on a daily basis.
