Reforestation of farm lands halted U.K.-based Reckitt Benckiser pledges program review

Carole Rooney Free Press

A company in Great Britain has backed off in its purchasing and reforestation activities on large tracts of farmland in the Cariboo and Vanderhoof areas. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he had “a productive meeting” between ministry staff and the Reckitt Benckiser (RB) Group regarding its Trees for Change program, and he is encouraged to hear RB is in the process of reviewing it.

During the “... if we can find past few years, a means to help RB bought them contribute to up more than putting more silvi7,000 hectculture into forests, ares in the maybe that’s a benAgriculture efit for everybody.” Land Reserve - Al Richmond (ALR) from AL RICHMOND Prince George to Quesnel, strong concerns about the planted it with trees and issue, says he is pleased to see applied 100-year, no-logging this pause for review. covenants. “I think it is positive that Cariboo Regional District RB has listened to the con(CRD) chair Al Richmond, cerns that local governments one of the community stake- have. holders who recently raised “We sent two CRD direc-

Advisory committee Dogs trampled members announced fatally by deer Official Community Plan & Zoning Bylaw Re-write has sounding board

In May 2015, the District of 100 Mile House launched a process to update the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw. The two bylaws are being revised to align District council and community values, aspirations and perspectives for growth within the District. Assisting the District with the project will be an advisory committee of seven 100 Mile House residents. This committee will provide a sounding board for the policy directions of the OCP update and Zoning Bylaw Re-Write (OCPZBR), as well as serving as local ambassadors for the process. The advisory com-

mittee has been selected for their commitment to the general well-being of 100 Mile House and was appointed by council on June 16. The committee members included Leon Chretien, Debbie Dengel, Tanya Hammerstron, Christine Jordaan, Don McLean, Don Savjord and Mel Torgerson. They represent a diversity of backgrounds and offer a wealth of experience to the project. The first advisory committee meeting took place June 22 and the District looks forward to working with them throughout this process. The OCPZBR is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

options to encourage them to plant trees – we think that’s a good idea – but we’d like to find some way where that might be able to be channelled into where it is really needed.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham notes she had proposed a Protecting Agriculture Lands Act to ensure that the ALR is better preserved. “I’m hopeful that Reckitt Benckiser is addressing our concerns, but ... with only five per cent of B.C. land suitable for agriculture, it is crucial that legislation is put in place immediately to protect that land.” Richmond says he is not too concerned at this point about other companies following the same path of reforestation for carbon credits, as he has not yet heard of any in the Cariboo. “I think the actions of RB, their change of direction now that they are paused, is probably going to send a message to those companies to talk to local government, and [on] how this could happen. “If we can find a means to help them contribute to putting more silviculture into forests, maybe that’s a benefit for everybody.” Now, the CRD is anticipating discussions along these lines at an upcoming meeting with RB. “We are also working on having a tour with the Agriculture Land Commission [ALC] chair [in August] ... to show him the areas in question, and see if he or the ALC have some ideas on how they could participate in bringing about a positive [outcome].” That could involve identifying how, but also where carbon credits could potentially be obtained through forest silviculture, Richmond notes.

updates will be provided on the District’s website and the first public engagement opportunity will be during the 50th Anniversary Celebrations later this month. For more infor-

An alarming number of small dogs have been trampled and killed by deer in the 100 Mile House area. Dr. Gordon Laity of the Lakeland Veterinary Clinic has seen at least a half dozen attacks, three of them fatal, in the past few weeks. “It happens every year, but this year seems to be exceptionally bad,” Laity says. “I’m suspicious it’s due to more people feeding deer and [deer] becom-

ing more habituated to humans.” He also suspects its female deer with fawns that are acting aggressively. Laity advises against feeding deer, and recommends people keep dogs on a leash outside at this time of year, while keeping a close eye on smaller pets. “Some of the incidents have happened right in front of people. It seems to be a bit of an epidemic. It’s the leading cause of death right now for small dogs in the area.”

Purchase of PGE railway important Lone Butte built on the back of new railway’s presence By Al Jones Lone Butte will be celebrating 96 years since the arrival of the Pacific Great Eastern (PGE) railway at this year’s Lone Butte Rocks celebration on July 25. After the First World War in 1918, the Liberal provincial government under Premier John Oliver purchased the PGE railway, which, at the time, ran 176 miles from Chasm, Clinton, to the coastal town of Squamish and it became a Crown corporation. By the end of April 1919, the PGE had reached Lone Butte, which was the point of highest elevation at 3,900 feet above sea level. A large construction camp was set up in Lone Butte by Captain John Bright and the superintendent of engineering J.A. Murdock, which included a kitchen staff of 25 cooks and helpers, with 11 returned servicemen. The location of the current water tower was selected because of a good source of water in the area and the construction was completed in 1920. A water licence was issued that year and the Lone Butte pioneers

had a year-round source of drinking water, as the water tower held 40,000 gallons. On May 20, 1920, George Duncan McFee received a 148-acre Crown grant parcel of land just south of railway, which he and Lee Brown subdivided into lots in 1922. With the combination of the railway and the water source, Lone Butte was born and the construction began, including the historic Lone Butte Hotel. The railway served as an economic lifeline to the Cariboo and brought much needed food, supplies, passengers, and the mail to British Columbia Interior communities. In its early years, the PGE was used mainly to ship cattle, but later it connected the Interior’s mining and logging industries with Squamish. The water tower is open to the public, once a year at the Lone Butte Historical Association’s annual fundraiser garage sale during the Lone Butte Rocks celebration on July 25. Al Jones is the Lone Butte correspondent.

A new Friendship Centre in 100 Mile House will be open weekdays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., beginning July 13. Located in the St. Timothy’s Anglican Church Annex at 106 Blackstock Road, Stemete7uw’i – A Gathering Place will offer a warm, welcoming and safe environment for anyone, particularly for those from outlying areas who pass time in town between appointments, or for other reasons.

DRIVE SOBER During the summer months, one person is killed every three days in impaired-related crashes in B.C. That’s why the province, ICBC and police kicked off the CounterAttack campaign on July 1 to keep impaired drivers off our roads this summer. Whether you’re out golfing, boating or at a barbecue with friends, everyone needs to plan ahead for a safe ride home this summer – arrange a designated driver, call a taxi or take transit. File Photo

The Royal Hudson steamed into Lone Butte in the fall of 1988 and marked the fact that the Lone Butte Water Tower was one of the last towers remaining in the province. Lone Butte was also the point of highest elevation at 3,900 feet above sea level on the line.

Volunteer fire department firefighters helping with suppression Free Press

Since July 2, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) has responded to 10 new fires in the 100 Mile House fire zone, and all of them are suspected to be caused by lightning. As of press time, the most recent 0.75-hectare fire flared up on July 7 and was about 1.5 kilometres north of Watch Lake, says Emily Epp, BCWS/ Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) fire information officer. Air tankers responded quickly along with one helicopter and seven firefighters. The Watch Lake/ Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (WL/ NGLVFD) assisted with this incident. There were 11 BCWS firefighter and WL/NGLVFD members were on the site on July 8. On July 6, a 0.5-hectare wildfire popped up in the Lone Butte area and was attacked by air tankers, four BCWS firefighters who were assisted by the Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department (IVFD). It was under patrol and expected to be out on July 8.

Leslie says the July 1 ceremony was conducted to honour the many local businesses that contributed financially, together with ArtsVest B.C. and the New Pathways to Gold Society,and made it possible to build the new bridge. The bridge provides an attractive and efficient pedestrian crossing for access to the planned museum, and is also intended to help protect Sucker Creek and its riparian zones from ATV traffic. Now, society representatives have begun to make tentative approaches to various potential funding sources for the approximately $3.25-million museum and cultural centre, such as meeting with KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod in Kamloops

on June 30, he adds. “We all felt that we had received an excellent hearing and that Cathy McLeod was genuinely interested in our project. “Similar briefings with the other MPs whose constituencies include our member bands’ reserves, and with our local MLAs, are still being contemplated for later this summer.” More information on the cultural centre is online at www.nsculturalsociety.ca/ project.html.

it was most gratifying that representatives of several local businesses were able to attend,” says NSCS secretary Graham Leslie. On June 1, concrete footings and cedar log stringers to support the bridge superstructure were installed in preparation for Phase 2 of the project, he notes. “The cedar for the posts, railing and decking of the bridge were milled by Sitka Log Homes and following construction of a mock-up section by Celtic Engineering were cut to their precise dimensions by Sitka under the direct supervision of [its] president, Brad Johnson.” These pieces were then stained by Dixon’s Canim Lake crew that also then installed them on June2425, under the supervision of Celtic Engineering, completing phase 2.

Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie gave an opening prayer and welcomed attendees, and drumming and singing was provided by band members from both Canim Lake and Soda Creek.

Producers always worry when cattle out on the range

Ken Alexander Free Press

Cattle producers in the Williams Lake area are losing more calves than usual to black bears this year. Conservation Officer Sgt. Len Butler says black bears were responsible for 47 to 50 per cent of all predator attacks on cattle in the Cariboo region this year. After the light winter and early spring, he suspects bears came out of their dens earlier this year, and that may have led to the increase in the number of attacks. Usually, attacks by coyotes, cougars and wolves are more prevalent, Butler adds. However, this doesn’t seem to be as big of a problem in the South

According to Lac la Hache rancher Marvin Monical, there are more wolves around in the South Cariboo this year. Milder winter has produced more bears and deer, too.

Cariboo. Noting there are a lot of bears around this year, Marvin Monical, who operates the Club Ranch in Lac la Hache, says he hasn’t heard of any abnormal increase in bear encounters with livestock in the South

Cariboo. “I have been in touch with other producers recently and they never mentioned anything. If it was a big issue down here, I think I would have heard about it.” Monical notes that any black bear encounters he

has seen in the past have been incidental kills. “A calf will walk up to a black bear just being curious and he gets a swat, and depending where the bear hits him, it could do him in.” However, he adds that if a black bear does get the taste of beef, he won’t stop. “That’s just his target from then on and then you have to deal with the issue at that time.” Under the British Columbia Wildlife Act, ranchers are allowed to kill a bear that is on their property and is being a menace to domestic animals, but they must report it to the Conservation Officer Service. Monical notes black bear issues don’t happen very often. “To kill

Campfires banned as of July 3 All open burning, including campfires and fireworks, are prohibited throughout the province. This prohibition will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified. This extraordinary step is being taken to help prevent humancaused wildfires and protect public safety, says Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. Unseasonably hot and dry weather is being experienced around the

province and any preventable, human-caused fires divert critical personnel and resources from other incidents. The BC Wildfire Service is responding to more than 184 active fires in the province. A map of the area covered by this open burning prohibition and campfire ban is available online at http:// ly/1IyUZG4. This ban applies to: • Open fires of any size, including campfires; • The use of fireworks, sky lanterns and tiki

torches; • Burning barrels or burning cages of any size or description; • The use of binary exploding targets (e.g., for rifle target practice); and • The use of air curtain burners (forced-air burning systems). This prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes.

It also does not apply to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, with a flame length of 15 centimetres or less. However, the use of this equipment may be prohibited locally and at a later time if deemed necessary, so check current fire bans

Now, the cattle are out on the range and the producers won’t know their losses until they gather them up in the fall, Monical explains. “We won’t know until we get them home and count them up to see how many we lost. It’s always a concern when our cattle are away from home. You always wonder how many are going to get back. With files from Monica Lamb-Yorski – Williams Lake Tribune.

It just depends on whether that wolf pack likes eating beef or not.” However, he adds there is also an abundance of deer, so there is a lot for the wolves to eat. “But again, if they start eating beef, they don’t quit.” Noting there are incidences of wolves taking down cattle all of the time, Monical says he hasn’t heard that it has been excessive.

Canada Day celebrated in style

The Canada Day celebrations held in 108 Mile Ranch had a “great turnout” on July 1. Organizer Ingrid Meyer says there was a constant flow of people coming and going all day, so she couldn’t estimate a head count, but it “seemed to be the best turnout ever.” Sales were brisk at the booths selling hamburgers, cotton candy and other food, and the parked vehicles extended further than previously seen, she adds. The alpacas from Alpaca Story ranch were a big hit with the children, she adds. “There was a little baby alpaca maybe just two days old; it was amazing.” Cheryl Harris played with the children all afternoon, and the games ideas were provided by Lucille Armstrong and Ulli Vogler. Eclectica Community Choir sang the national anthem and the RCMP colour guard presented the Canadian flag, Meyer notes. She adds the entertainment was terrific, and offered a good variety. “Mark McMillan was our MC, and he was very pleased how smoothly everything was run. “We had more vendors than we had last year, and it was altogether a really, successful, wonderful celebration.”

Representation Agreement - or Power of Attorney? What is more important - health or money? Most of us would probably say that health is more important. The funny thing, however, is that, in British Columbia, our legal system didn’t even create the representation agreement - which deals with appointing someone to make health care decisions - until about 15 years ago. Almost everybody has some idea of what a power of attorney is – but many people don’t know the limits on the power which it bestows. At the risk of oversimplifying, the best way to describe those limits is to say that a power of attorney is just a business document – it only gives the person named as “attorney,” the power to sign documents for the person who appoints them. The traditional power of attorney does not give the “attorney” the power to make health care decisions for the donor. In British Columbia, we can give someone that power by signing a document called a “representation agreement.” The most important role of the representation agreement is to give the person named as representative the power to make health care decisions. It is possible for a representation agreement to give the power to make relatively routine ﬁnancial transactions but the power is a limited one. Where the adult is of sound mind, they are far better served by creating both a power of attorney and a representation agreement. Lawyers often see clients who think that one document a power of attorney - is all they need for both business and health care decisions. In British Columbia, that has probably never been true. Certainly, now that we have the possibility of creating a representation agreement, two separate documents are required - the power of attorney to appoint someone to make business decisions and the representation agreement to appoint someone to make health care decisions.

Women’s Centre has new board executive

Submitted photo

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society has a new board of directors, which includes Aleta Bryan, left, Heather Graham, Allie Valiente, Deanna Deacon, Amanda Bird, Ashleigh Bailey and Gina Gigliotti.

The 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society held a successful annual general meeting (AGM) on June 17th, and it saw a changing of the guard with some directors retiring and others coming on board. “While we said goodbye to some longstanding board directors – Marg Mitchell, 19 years; Marg Sarich, six years; and Kathy Wolczuk, six years – at our AGM, we also welcomed on a new board of highly motivated, communityminded women: Aleta

Bryan, Heather Graham, Allie Valiente, Deanna Deacon, Amanda Bird, Ashleigh Bailey and Gina Gigliotti,” says Women’s Centre executive director Sonja Ramsay. Gigliotti is the new board president, while Bird will be the vicepresident and Bailey takes over the secretary duties. The directors at large include Bryan, Graham, Valiente and Deacon. More than 5,000 community members were helped between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2014,

Ramsay notes. “That is more than 5,000 individuals in 1,040 hours of open office hours.” The Women’s Centre now has different membership rates and it’s hoped more area residents will sign up to help with the centres operational expenses. As an individual member, a person can purchase a membership to the Women’s Centre on a sliding scale from $5 to $150, Ramsay explains. “We now have a cor-

porate membership rate starting from $150 to $1,000. Our corporate members will be sponsored on the developing website address at www.100milewomens centre.ca.” Once a corporate member is registered and our website is ready for publishing, our local sponsors will be highlighted on our website, Ramsay adds. “Often, organizations and individuals are unsure of how to support the Women’s Centre, but would love to. We’re hoping that by offering a different membership rate and some benefits to that membership, it will make supporting women in our community as easy as possible.” Hot fundraiser The Women’s Centre will also be hosting a 50/50 draw at the Hot July Nights on July 19. The first draw will be at noon and then another draw for up to $5,000 will be made by the end of the car show that day.

Apply for funds for your community group The Northern Interior Communities Association (NICA) is offering two free grant writing workshops this month for community groups, organizations and charities from the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

There are two upcoming sector intakes including Public Safety and Environment from July 1 to Aug. 31, and the Human and Social Services envelope, which will be open from Aug. 1 through Nov. 30. Both of these intakes will be discussed during the sessions. To compliment the

workshops, NICA is offering one-on-one grant writing sessions for organizations currently working on an application to the BC Community Gaming Grant program or for organizations working on an appeal. If you would like to sign-up for a oneon-one session with NICA staff, review our workshop schedule below and email grantwriter@cariboord.ca to book your 30-minute session.

Finding fault

Secret ballots would change democracy

t would be hard to argue against the secret ballot being the foundation of democracy. It safeguards the right of all citizens to vote freely and in private, without fear of threats and intimidation. Just as important for society, it ensures that no individual is able to sell their vote to any special interest group or criminal enterprise. So, if the secret ballot is the foundation of democracy, then are we not denying and dishonouring our democratic principles every time we deny the secret ballot? In Canada, we claim to be such a bastion of democracy but isn’t it odd that our current Canadian political party system, with rare exception, is specifically designed to deny this most basic of democratic processes to our elected representatives within both the House of Commons (Parliament) and

our Provincial Legislatures. Funny, that always What I find particularly sounded like extortion to offensive is that all political me. party leaders will stand With the exception of and condemn bullying those who run and sit as in society, yet they will Independents, we are forced defend their need to deny to vote for someone who is the secret ballot put in a position to their members, of being more specifically so beholding to that they are able their Party than to target, threat the people who and intimidate elect them.

If our elected

GUEST SHOT

t’s reasonably easy to know when Premier Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberal government is having its feet put to the coals. In an effort to deflect intense media investigations, dogged scrutiny from the Opposition ranks and public concern about how they are being governed, a series of good-news media releases and smiling photo ops suddenly appear. Announcements involve small grants to assist vulnerable folks in our society. Obviously, these are welcome gifts, and they provide the desired message that the government “really cares for the less fortunate in our society.” Other deflections are the announcements the government is following through on its election promises to create jobs, work with First Nations, and develop liquefied natural gas production and export. Perhaps it’s a bit cynical, but it appears to be the modus operandi for our provincial government. Well, the heat is definitely on now. Back in 2012, the B.C. Liberal government abruptly fired eight contracted health researchers who were assessing eligibility of drugs for Pharmacare coverage when the government suspected there was a possible data security breach. When the researchers asked why they were being fired, a government spokesperson said no answer would be forthcoming because the RCMP was investigating the matter. Eventually, the government realized there had been a mistake, and six of the eight researchers settled for payments and re-instatement. However, one researcher is suing the provincial government for wrongful dismissal, while the other contractor is no longer alive. When the story came to light in the media, the response was quick and sharp. Political parties and the affected researchers demanded a public inquiry and the general public appears to be in agreement. Premier Clark initially downplayed the call for a public inquiry because it would be too expensive and unlikely to provide meaningful answers. When documents surfaced showing the RCMP were not investigating the researchers for a possible security breach, the demand for a public inquiry heated up substantially and Health Minister Terry Lake asked new Ombudsperson Jay Chalke to investigate the matter further. This investigation could be a game-changer if it discovers the B.C. Liberal government was acting callously when dealing with people working for the province. Such a result would be another stain on provincial politics in British Columbia, and likely lead to calls for legislation to make all levels of government responsible for decisions they make and hold them accountable for the outcomes of those decisions. Now that would require significant and refreshing attitude adjustments.

representatives were required to cast all votes by secret ballot, the Party Leaders and their inner circle would no longer be able to target and bully them into submissive compliance. Special interest groups could no longer be assured that their financial support (bribes) would result specifically in votes supporting their causes. Our leaders would have to lead not dictate and legislation might actually have to be crafted in a manner that would allow it to receive the support of the majority, not because the Party leaders dictated it, but because the majority of our representatives thought the legislation was worthy of support.

Ashcroft resident disappointed with Interior Health To the editor: I am glad to see letters from the local people here in Ashcroft, like Martin Playford and Rhonda Hanson who wrote in the May 14 edition of the Ashcroft Cache Creek Journal: “At last, someone with the courage to put in writing what a lot of us have been thinking. Our government with the support of Interior Health (IH) is destroying our health

care and our facilities. “Every time I go into our hospital, I see all of the plaques on the walls, and I think of all the hours that went into supporting the hospital, raising money and volunteering time for the care of our citizens. All for nought as we are governed now by a group of people who don’t give a sweet damn about our health care.” There is a long letter in the May 14 edition of the Journal extolling

the efforts of the IH in Ashcroft and district, which was signed by Bernice Easson, IH health service administrator. This letter, in my opinion, is nothing but propaganda. My experience with IH has been totally negative. My husband and I used to donate $500 every year to the palliative care unit in the Ashcroft Hospital. Then we were told by the folks

Did you know that today, for the first time in history, we have the power to end AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria? When The Who first sang Talkin’ ’Bout My Generation, no one had heard of AIDS, but TB, on the other hand, had been around for thousands of years.

TB is woven into the fabric of our humanity, from the Bible and opera to those bothersome ads on TV that do not allow us to forget that some of our brothers and sisters still live in abject poverty and cannot fight this scourge on their own. Canada is actually one of the darlings of the world when it comes to TB. We stand alone as the only country, thus far,

funding TB REACH, a proven initiative for diagnosing the hardest to reach and the hardest to diagnose cases of TB and even drug-resistant TB. Over the past five years, TB REACH has provided grants to 145 projects across 36 countries, with a number of these projects working to implement new, innovative ways of integrating TB and HIV health care in order to tackle both diseases together. It is time to renew our support to the fight against TB by pledging $120 million over five years to TB REACH. Let’s make this a historic generation – the generation that finally eradicates TB. Please e-mail your MP and urge her to tell the federal government to continue funding TB REACH. Connie Lebeau Victoria

who were running the unit that IH was taking a percentage of the money, so we asked if we could buy a piece of furniture or some item that they needed. We were told IH took pictures of the unit, so they knew if anything had been added and still took their percentage. Later, IH closed our hospital and sent all of the equipment to Kamloops. Before that, the hospital delivered babies, set broken bones

and did minor surgery. Now, all we have is a doctor’s office with one doctor who can’t take any more patients. What was once a hospital is now a place where people in various stages of mental or physical decline are housed. Interior Health is doing a fine job? Pat Baker Ashcroft

Adrian Dix is still not doing research To the editor: Once again Adrian Dix is blowing off steam as usual by not doing any research on the topic. On May 25 in the legislature during question period, Adrian Dix asked Energy Minister Bill Bennett why his political assistant was the successful candidate for the advertised job as Director for Policy with B.C. Hydro.

Dix claimed this political assistant has no utility experience, no experience in energy policy, no Crown corporation experience, no regulatory experience, and no policyanalyst experience. This is no different than the new NDP government in Alberta. The new minister of finance of Alberta is a former social worker. What does a social worker know

about debits, credits, and financial statements, especially when this new minister of finance cannot even fill out his own income tax return and pays someone else to fill out his tax return. Dix’s comments are unsatisfactory for the $102,878 taxpayer-funded salary he receives as a MLA. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Reader: MP’s e-mail letter misleading To the editor: In her recent e-mail newsletter, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod claims the federal government deficit has been reduced by $55.6 billion, to a projected surplus of $1.4 billion for 2015/16. She neglects to mention how her Conservative government has had massive federal budget deficits every

year since 2008. She also neglects to mention how the Conservatives have added $157 billion to the federal debt since 2008. Her claims of responsible fiscal management are misleading. Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

BC VIEWS

iberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological

capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. British Columbia’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Woman charged in Surrey woman's stabbing SURREY - A woman was sent to hospital Saturday morning after being stabbed in Surrey. On July 4 at about 5:55 a.m., police responded to a report of a stabbing near 81 Avenue and King George Boulevard. When they arrived, they found a 34-year-old woman with a stab wound. She was taken to hospital in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. Surrey RCMP say the investigation indicated the stabbing was the result of an altercation with someone the woman knew and was not random. On Monday afternoon, Christine Joanne Pash, 23, was charged with aggravated assault. She appeared in court early this week and is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on July 22.

Smoke on the water PARKSVILLE - The smoke and ash enveloping the Parksville Qualicum Beach region these past week is from three blazes in the Coastal Fire Region, two on the Island and one on the Sunshine Coast. Weather patterns and eye witness accounts suggest most of the smoke and ash here is coming from a forest fire just two kilometres outside Sechelt. An air quality advisory has been issued for this region by the Ministry of Environment. "The Ministry of Environment in collaboration with Island Health has issued a Wildfire Smoke Advisory for the east and south coast of Vancouver Island from Campbell River to Victoria, including the interior community of Port Alberni, because of forest fire smoke that is affecting most areas," said the advisory. "Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and lung or heart disease." The Old Sechelt Mine fire was at 80 ha Monday morning and the Sunshine Coast Regional District issued an evacuation alert for 18 seasonal residences. According to the Sunshine Coast RCMP, a 61-year-old man from nearby Gibsons was killed Sunday while assisting with firefighting efforts. People in Sechelt, and many in Parksville Qualicum Beach, awoke Sunday and Monday morning to a layer of ash on their vehicles, driveways and houses.

When the members of the fire department arrived in the area, they were approached by a 23-year-old Prince George man. After being reminded there was a fire ban in place, he became abusive toward the firefighters and attempted to flee in the fire truck. The firefighters managed to stop the Prince George resident from taking the fire truck, but two were assaulted during the process. The 100 Mile RCMP members arrived at the scene and attempted to speak with the man who was belligerent with officers. He then grabbed a chainsaw, starting it up and used it in a threatening manner toward the police officers. A brief stand off ensued and the man was subdued with pepper spray. He then assaulted one officer and then the Prince George man was taken into custody.

Two officers and two firefighters were treated for their injuries by emergency health services personnel. The Prince George man is facing numerous charges, including assault, assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats and breach of probation.

On July 3, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report of an orangeand-black covered utility trailer being stolen overnight from a location near Highway 97 at Lac la Hache. The trailer had been parked there overnight. Williams Lake RCMP also reported a stolen 2007 blue Ford F-350 pickup truck with a tidy tank sometime overnight. Around 11 a.m., an alert citizen from Lac des Roches called Clearwater RCMP about some suspicious activity on Eagle Island Road. A utility trailer had been left on the side of the access road. When RCMP from 100 Mile House were responding, they also located the stolen pickup truck at the Machete Lake Road intersection with Highway 24. After that vehicle was secured, they secured the utility trailer, which was the same one stolen from the Lac la Hache area. Some items were stolen from the utility trailer and the Ford pickup truck. A beige coloured pick-

up truck was seen in the area of the recovered stolen trailer. If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area, call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You can also contact www.bccrimestoppers. com. Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP. Stolen equipment During the early morning of July 1, Williams Lake RCMP responded to a break-and-enter in the Murray Drive area of Williams Lake. A 22-foot Big Tex Dove Tail Trailer and 266 Caterpillar Skid Steer had been stolen. The Williams Lake RCMP is asking anyone who may have information regarding this incident or any other crime to contact the RCMP at (250) 392-6111 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

enforcement on Horse Lake Road in 100 Mile House, when a 2005 Toyota Tundra was observed being operated in excess of the speed limit. Once the vehicle was stopped, it was determined there was no insurance on the truck. The male driver also displayed symptoms of liquor consumption. An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a fail. A second test was requested and the result was also a fail. The driver met the established criteria and was, therefore, issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. Confused driver On July 2, 100 Mile RCMP responded to several reports of a dangerous driver on Highway 97 travelling south from Lac la Hache. A vehicle description and plate number were provided and it was intercepted just north of 100 Mile House on Highway 97. When stopped, the elderly male driver was unsure of his location. He was transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of a medical condition. Charges in this instance were not pursued; however, the male’s driver’s licence was seized pending a medical review.

Lone Butte Historical Association (LBHA) volunteers completed the new roof on the Defunbunker Fallout shelter recently, thanks to a generous donation of material from the 108 Building Supply. The tired volunteers returned in the hot afternoon to fasten the new roof to the cement structure after witnessing a scene right out of the Wizard of Oz. A small twister descended on the neighbour’s storage tent, tore the tent apart and tossed the contents all over the yard, with one cooler lifted almost 20 feet in the air.

Seniors get a show-and-shine

Free Press

The 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club held a showand-shine behind the 100 Mile District General Hospital for the enjoyment of the residents at Mill Site Lodge/Fischer Place on June 21. Club president Jim Williscroft says it’s the fourth year members have put on this event. “We really enjoy it. It’s the corner stone of our club’s mission

statement, which is to give back to our community.” Noting there were more than two dozen vehicles at this event, Williscroft says a lot of the club members have had family members living at the residentialcare facilities. He adds they always have it on the first day of summer because it’s the turning point of the weather. “It’s always a nice day, and everyone enjoys it.”

Thank You!

On behalf of Adult Day Services, I would like to thank all of you who so kindly donated baking and treasures for our yard sale. I also thank the ADS folk and staff, Liz, Peter and Janice, for their help with crafts, baking and pricing. Special thanks to Jenny for giving a much needed hand (or two) on the day.

A sneak peek at 50th party

Carole Rooney Free Press

The Welcome Home 50th Anniversary Party being hosted by the District of 100 Mile House Anniversary Committee has an excellent lineup of live entertainment July 18-26 – and it’s all free. New Age Entertainment/ CaribooRadio.com’s Rob Fry is organizing the live entertainment, and he says the week-long celebration features a whole host of “very talented, incredible” entertainers. Kicking off the anniversary shows is a street party downtown in front of the 100 Mile Community Hall on July 18 at 6 p.m., with Williams Lake rock band Third Degree. Drive-in Movie Night rolls in at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre parking lot on July 19 (gates open at 8 p.m.), a bydonation fundraiser for the 100 Mile House Waterpark

Society. The Cowboy Concert and Poetry in Centennial Park also happens July 19, featuring popular personalities Alan Mobray, Bruce Rolph, Bernadette Ducharme and Jason Ruscheinsky at 7 p.m. Dancing and drumming joins the mix with Canim Lake Band’s Cultural Day in the park on July 22 beginning at 1 p.m., along with plenty of other fun heritage activities. Children will be entertained by Uncle Chris the Clown in the park on July 23 at 5 p.m. (after a Kids Day and Parade). Music in the Park begins that evening with a full slate of musicians. Fry says scheduled to appear between 5:45 and 9 p.m. are (in order) Emma Donnelly, Peter Thorne, former Cariboo Idol Kira Saenger (with Thorne), Herm Kiem, the Ballan Sisters, Leslie Ross, Dean Oshank

and Patrick Christow. More live bands hit the stage in the park on July 24 when Cariboo Artists Evening of Entertainment tunes in at 6 p.m. with former Cariboo Idol Candace Copley. Then the James Gang performs their popular local sounds, followed by Clancy Wright & the Silverado Band with its country music from Williams Lake. On July 25, these eight days of great entertainment culminate on Party in the Park Day with the 100 Mile Community Band (10-11 a.m.) and Front Porch (11 a.m.-noon). Then there will be a performance by Quesnel artist John Robert (J.R.) Goodwin along with more Canim Lake Band dancing, Baladi Babes belly dancers, and tons of more activity and celebrations happening all day long. Beatles tribute band Now & Then of Argentina will

appear at 4:15 p.m. with the timeless music of the worldfavourite band. Then the party’s main event concert – the ever popular Louisiana Hayride – takes the stage at 7 p.m. with classic styles of country’s greatest stars. Bring a lawn chair and relax while you tune your ears, tap your toes and enjoy some incredible free entertainment when the District celebrates its 50th anniversary in style. This is just a sneak peak of entertainment, with many other activities, games and celebrations planned all week. Fry says the terrific talent lineup is a key component to what will be the biggest event the District has held in decades. More information and schedules for other activities and events taking place at the party is on page A10.

Hot July Nights kicks off 50th Anniversary celebrations

Hundreds of classic rides rolling into 100 Mile for annual car and bike show The Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show is wheeling into 100 Mile House, July 17-19. “The only thing hotter than the weather will be the classic cars and bikes on the streets of 100 Mile House,” says Stephen Almond, an organizer with this town’s premier annual auto event, which draws hundreds of car aficionados from all over British Columbia. The weekend starts with a rod run leaving the A&W Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. on July 17. The rod run, hosted by the 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club, will see participants cruise to Lone Butte. On July 18, the fun begins at 2 p.m. with registration for a poker run. Participants will leave the South Cariboo Rec. Centre at 3 p.m. and enjoy a scenic route toward the Green Lake area. Drivers will arrive at the 100 Mile House Community Hall at about 5:30 p.m. “This year, Birch Avenue will be

turned into one big street party,” says Almond. “BJ’s Donut and Eatery will be having an outdoor barbeque and the rock band ThirdDegree from Williams Lake will be rocking out the tunes. Everyone is encouraged to come on down and enjoy the music.” The Show ‘n Shine at Centennial Park is July 19. Gates open to the public at 10 a.m. ThirdDegree will be providing the entertainment. “The organizers encourage all residents to come to the park to see over 200 classic cars and motorcycles from all over the province.” Handicap parking and food vendors will be on site. Hot July Nights won the Tourism and Recreation Award at the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce   Business Excellence Awards 2014. Visit www.hotjulynights.ca for more on this popular annual event.

The students of Dry Grad Committee 2015 collaborated with the community to host many different fundraising events throughout the school year. The funds raised went directly to preparing and hosting fun activities at the venue decided on for Prom the weekend of May 29 & 30th. Our goal as a committee is to provide a safe environment for all Grad students to participate and celebrate together in. This included great food, entertainment, dancing and prizes that were won throughout the night at the Las Vegas themed Prom. At the end of this school year, the extra funds raised by the students of the Dry Grad Committee are being allocated into a “Dry Grad Committee 2015 Legacy Scholarship Fund”. This $1,000.00 scholarship will be given out to one (1) eligible Grade 12 student each year, beginning in the Peter Skene Graduating Class of 2016 and thereafter. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist and promote continued education for a student who demonstrates positive volunteer contributions within the school Grad year, while maintaining Honor Roll standings academically. Criteria • Student must be enrolled in Post Secondary Education • Grade 12 student with 73% average and above • Demonstrates a willingness to give of themselves through volunteer time to benefit fellow students • Must provide 500 word essay, how staying away from alcohol and drugs have had a positive affect on the student’s life On behalf of the Dry Grad Committee, I wish all Grads of Peter Skene Ogden Class 2015 a prosperous, healthy future and continued love for learning. As we move forward, I would also like to extend best wishes to future graduates of Peter Skene Ogden. Thank you to the Community of 100 Mile House for your past, present and future support.

Wranglers captain scores scholarship Gaven Crites Free Press

The skill and leadership Devan Suidy displayed in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) over three seasons has paid off for him. The former 100 Mile House Wranglers captain drew more than a few awes from the South Cariboo Rec. Centre crowd last season – his lanky 6-foot-3 frame circling the ice for punishing hits; his surprisingly smooth hands consistently finding the back of the net. The 21-year-old from Langley is taking that size and talent to the collegiate level next fall, suiting up for the Voyageurs men's hockey team and pursuing a career in power engineering on a partial scholarship with Portage College in Lac la Biche, Alberta. And he says he has Wranglers coach Dale “Duner” Hladun to thank for it. “A big reason I went to 100 Mile is I know he has connections. He pulled through for me.” Suidy isn't sure what the Alberta College Athletic Conference has to offer with respect to hockey competitiveness, but he's looking forward to

getting back on the ice again in a few months. Suidy scored 21 goals and 16 assists in 43 games for the Wranglers, averaging nearly 0.9 points a game, in 2014-15. In the playoffs, he scored five goals and seven assists in 11 games. Suidy played for Hladun previously with the Princeton Posse, and Hladun made him captain of the Wranglers when he joined the club for his last junior season. “That group of guys made it so easy to be captain,” Suidy says of the Wranglers. “Usually the captain has so much responsibility, but those guys really made it easy for me. Not one guy on that team stood out as a pain in the butt or something like that. I loved it. The community is so easy to get along with. Everyone loves the team.” Asked what he'll remember most from his season in 100 Mile, which draws amongst the biggest and loudest crowds in all the KIJHL, Suidy responds promptly: “The fans. It was insane playing in front of that many people every home game. That's hard to come by anywhere you go.” Hladun says his former captain is “proof in the pudding” that Junior B

Two dozen soccer teams from around British Columbia are rolling into 100 Mile House for a big provincial tournament this weekend. The 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association is hosting the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup (U13U15) at the Soccer Park on July 9-12. The format will see eight team round robins leading to single elimination knockout matches. A local U14 squad will be taking the field as the host team.

hockey is not the end of the road for players if they work hard enough. “What these players have to learn is hockey's fun, but you have to use it as a tool. Now [Suidy] is getting some schooling paid for because he can play hockey. Yea, you can enjoy [the game]. But you have to embrace the fact it can help you get something. This opens doors.”

College hockey can open doors later on down the road too, the coach adds. “You wouldn't believe where your connections will go just because you've played college hockey. I think it's a great opportunity for Devan, and a good reward for him for being three years in our league and being the captain of our team. I'm real proud of Devan.”

Spence Henderson, Deb Henderson, Donna Brennan, Bonnie McColl and Wayne Kidwell were winners of the 108 Seniors Golf Club Texas Scramble on June 18. There was a good turnout with 28 members and two guests in mixed teams at the 108 Golf Resort. The 50/50 raffle winner was Sharlene Anderson. Shannon and Harvey Knapp were winners of two 18 hole passes at the Quesnel Golf Club. New members are welcome for the Thursday morning games at 9:30 a.m. For more information, call the 108 Golf Resort Pro Shop at 250-791-5212.

Dignitaries were all smiles when they cut the banner at the official opening of the Barkerville Cemetery Accessible Trail on June 27. The 750-metre long trail follows along of a portion of the old Cariboo Wagon Road, providing a low-mobility route between the Barkerville town site and the Barkerville Cemetery.

Barkerville Cemetery Accessible Trail officially opened

The historic town of Barkerville became the most recent community in the Cariboo-Chilcotin to unveil a new accessible trail, June 27. The Barkerville Cemetery Accessible Trail (BCAT) was built in partnership formed by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the Barkerville Heritage Trust, Friends of Barkerville, Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT), Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) and the provincial government’s BC Community Recreation Program. The completion of this new accessible trail adds another great feature to the popular historic town of Barkerville, says Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes. “I applaud the work and leadership of the CRD, and the many businesses and individuals whose support and financial contributions have made this new trail a reality. Together, you have created a valuable public gathering place for individuals of all levels of mobility to enjoy for years to come.” Approximately 750 metres long, the BCAT follows along of a portion of the old Cariboo Wagon Road, providing a unique route between the Barkerville town site and the Barkerville Cemetery. CRD Electoral Area C Director John Massier says he was pleased to officially open another trail in the Cariboo-Chilcotin and take the next step towards developing the region as an accessible and inclusive tourism destination. “Partnering with Barkerville, the province, NDIT and CCBAC has helped us expand access to this site to

those with limited mobility. I know it will be an outdoor attraction for both residents and tourists.” Five rest stops are interspersed along the trail route and an informational kiosk is provided for users’ convenience. The trail has a packed, six-foot-wide crushed gravel surface with a gentle grade and sections of moderate difficulty. The official trail opening is the completion of a vision to connect the Barkerville site and the Barkerville Cemetery in an inclusive way, says ED Coleman, Barkerville Historic Town’s chief executive officer. “The Barkerville Heritage Trust is very excited to provide an additional opportunity for people of all mobility levels to enjoy Barkerville’s rich history, and we would like to thank everyone who helped make this trail a reality.” The BCAT means more people will be able to learn about and enjoy the incredible history behind B.C.’s Cariboo region, says Janine North, Northern Development Initiative Trust CEO. Northern Development is proud to have played a small role in helping to make this first-class attraction more accessible, she adds. The Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition is excited to be a part of this regional project, says CCBAC chair Bob Simpson. The trail is located 81 kilometres east of Quesnel on Highway 26. Ongoing management of the site is provided by the Barkerville Heritage Trust. For further information about the growing list of accessible trails within the CRD, visit cariboord.ca and look under services/recreation.

It is with unbearable sadness that we announce the sudden passing of William Jack Lefferson on July 01, 2015. He died in the Prince George Hospital surrounded by his family. He was returning from his annual salmon fishing trip to Terrace, with his brother Alan, when he went into respiratory distress and later had a massive stroke. Though his loss is devastating to us, he died after doing something he dearly loved and is once again with his loving wife - whom he has missed since her death 6 years ago. Everyone thinks that the fireworks on the first were for Canada Day but really it was just Mom giving Dad hell. He is survived by his brother Alan, sister Dorothy, sister-in-law Alma, his 3 children Pat (Allen), Brian (Carolyn) and Duane, and grandchildren Kyle, Brody, Sebastian, Baden, Kiara, and Alex, and many nieces and nephews. There will be a very informal gathering held in remembrance of Dad on Saturday, July 11, 2015 at his home from 3:00 - 5:00pm.

STEAD Alan

Oct. 15,1933 – June 30, 2015 An amazing man, Alan Stead, passed peacefully in the early morning on Tuesday, June 30, 2015, in his 82nd year. Al first arrived into this big beautiful world when born in the Village of Middleton, Leeds, Yorkshire, England on Oct. 15, 1933. He made the journey across the ocean to Canada when he was just 15 years old. He settled in BC and remained here to find the perfect wife and raise 2 happy kids. Al lived a full, rewarding & happy life during the years. Always a caring and busy guy, Al also liked to make time for a beer, a chat & a laugh with all his family & friends. Throughout his life Al was an avid sportsman, gardener and all-round outdoors man. He worked over 40 years in the insurance industry until he retired and moved to 100 Mile House in the early ‘90s. The Cariboo was a familiar old friend to Al who had lived here in the ‘70s and also enjoyed holidays in the area since his kids where just little guys. Al loved the area and the house and land that he and Connie made home for the last 20+ years. It is a blessing that he was able to stay at home and enjoy all until his passing. He will be deeply missed and always remembered! Alan leaves behind his loving & faithful wife Connie, his son Keith (Lori and Fer), his daughter Kim (Mel), and 5 grandchildren - Amber (Johnny), Amy (Scott), Holly (Tyler), Nicole (Sean) and Katie. He also leaves behind 5 beautiful great grandchildren - Mason, Danika, Madilynn, Mackenley, and Levi. An informal gathering to celebrate Al`s wonderful life will take place at the family home on Saturday, July 18 at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family graciously requests you make a donation to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital - Al`s favourite charity. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

The Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre in 100 Mile House is presenting the Garden Tour 2015 on July 18. Ag Centre members are excited to have a garden tour with a new emphasis on food sovereignty and sustainability, says Ag Centre director Rita Giesbrecht. “Increasingly around the world, and here at home, the trend in gardening is something we are calling

“Farm in your garden.” This means backyard chickens, more food gardening, and concern for attracting pollinators and conserving water.” She adds the Ag Centre members are proud to have Garden Tour 2015 feature the inauguration of the unique Community Place Garden in the commercial zone of 100 Mile House at First Street and Birch Avenue. There will be a

IT’S BACK!

small dedication ceremony at the site, starting at 10 a.m. on July 18. The project grew from an idea to a reality because individuals came together with the common purpose of providing not only food, but also experience and education, Giesbrecht says, adding they are hoping to attract the vulnerable population and families who otherwise have no access to be in and contribute to

a garden. This self-guided garden tour, which kicks of at 10 a.m., will showcase the Community Place Garden, and the Community Gardens behind The Lodge. It will also feature several small properties where people are raising chickens and animals, re-wilding what was once bare lawn, and gardening to grow food. Several features will be presented by the tour spon-

sors, including a visit to the compost works-yard at Blended Compost Soil, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; an Abstract Flowers presentation by Chris Harris at his Gallery, starting at 3 p.m.; complimentary Tea in the Garden at Horse Lake Garden Centre by donation, 11a.m.2 p.m.; and several draws, gifts and features. Tickets, which are $20 (free for children 10 years and younger), can be found

at the Farmers Market; the Ag Centre and Sustainability Society; Higher Ground Natural Foods, Yummers and other outlets displaying the garden tour poster. Take your tickets to the Ag Centre office (north wing of The Lodge behind Red Coach Inn) between 8 and 11 a.m. on July 18 to register and receive your Garden Tour Passbook.

Quilt show with recycling theme

Carole Rooney Free Press

Waste Not, Want Not – that’s the recycling theme for an upcoming quilt show at the Interlakes Community Centre. Log Cabin Quilters show committee co-chair Gyl Connaty says the two-day show offers a chance to see some beautiful handmade quilts from recently-made to antique, and more. Some quilts will be on display for the sheer enjoyment of admiring their artistry, and others will be available for purchase. There will be a Merchant’s Mall (supplier booths) for quilters, a Tea Room for lunch and refreshments, a quilt raffle and door prizes. “We have four quilt stores coming and they sell their patterns, fabrics, tools and whatever.” It takes place July 11 (10 a.m.-4 p.m.) and July 12 (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) and the admission is $5. Connaty says the show offers a

social event for everyone. Those with an interest in learning more about quilting or joining the club are especially encouraged to bring their questions and turn up for the show. It is the club’s 30th anniversary, and it holds these shows only once every five years, she notes. “Come out and have an enjoyable day and admire the beautiful work our members have done.” Connaty says people don’t need to be expert at sewing to make a gorgeous quilt, and the club often hosts lessons, speakers and material exchanges. It is a relaxing and enjoyable hobby, the club offers good social interaction, and it takes recycling to a different level when you take an old castaway dress and use it to craft a lovely new quilt, she notes. The Interlakes Community Centre hall is located at 7592 Highway 24.For more information, call Mieke McIntosh at 250-593-4770, or e-mail miekemc@bcinternet.net.

Ask an Expert: Outside of high school chemistry class, you may never have given thought to water composition and how it changes. However, once you become a homeowner, you may have to pay special attention to the type of water bubbling out of your faucets. What is hard water? Although not harmful to human health, hard water can impact one’s daily life in other ways. Hard water is formed when water moves through soil and rock. It dissolves very small amounts of minerals and holds them in a solution. Calcium and magnesium are the most common minerals to turn water “hard.”

From nuisance to damaging Hard water can not only be a minor headache, but also something more serious. Hard water can interfere with various cleaning tasks and also personal grooming. Clothes washed in hard water may not be fully clean and may appear dingy. Hard water can cause a film on surfaces, such as bath tiles and tubs. Some people find that their hair and skin can appear dull and sticky due to hard water. Over time, hard water can deposit minerals on the inside of pipes, reducing water flow. If these deposits grow thick, you may have a plumbing issue on your hands. Furthermore, mineral deposits can harm appliances, such as water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers. Treatment options The main types of water-softening systems use either a packaged water softener or a mechanical water-softening unit. Packaged water softeners are chemicals that bond with the calcium and magnesium ions in the water so that they cannot interfere with cleaning efficiency. These chemicals fall into two categories: precipitating and nonprecipitating. Precipitating softeners are borax and washing soda and can affect pH levels of water and make water cloudy. Nonprecipitating softeners use phosphates. Alkalinity won’t be increased, and usually there is no cloudiness or buildup. These products are typically added to laundry loads and the like and are not recommended for drinking water. Mechanical water-softening systems are hooked up directly to the plumbing of the house. They are ion-exchange systems that will add salt to the water. Although it can be safe to drink, softened water may not be recommended for those who are on low-sodium diets.

hungry young. Wayne Traill described the scene: “... One parent and one young were sleeping. The other parent was feeding the other young. The little guy would be fed a fish every two-three minutes, including one that was about three inches. After seven or eight fish, he headed towards the sleeping parent, looking stuffed.” Sleepy too I’ll bet. At his Canim lakeside home, Henry Venema had a close-in sighting of a red-headed woodpecker – very rare in these parts. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.
