William Stodalka There’s a brand new group who will help manage and oversee the Agricultural Land Reserve in the North, and two of its three members are from the Peace Region.

Late last week, the Ministry of Agriculture announced that these three people – a retired farmer, a rancher and a bookkeeper – would join the Agricultural Land Commission’s North panel.

Previously, one large ALC panel made all the decisions. Now, there are six regional boards, and some of the people who previously served on the big ALC panel have gone to these other panels.

However, all of the three panellists in the North are new to the ALC. B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said that the province’s Board Resourcing and Development Office chose the panellists around the province from over 100 applicants.

“Now that we have local panels, people who live in the area, they should have a much better appreciation of the local area and what’s happening in the region,” he said. “It makes it easier for them if they want to go on site and see what’s happening.”

The new vice-chair of the North Panel for the ALC is Dave Merz, who is based out of Fort Fraser. He is described as “the owner and operator of Nechako Bend Ranch, with almost 50 years of experience in British Columbia's agriculture industry.”

Currently, that property – which includes 14 parcels of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve, according to its online description – is up for sale, and its asking price is just north of $1.5 million.

Merz is slated to serve for four years.

Previously, he served as president of the BC Cattlemen’s Association and a member of the BC Farm Industry Review Board.

However, “every panellist is expected to follow conflict of interest rules,” said Letnick. “If any in the future there’s a situation where they have a conflict of interest, they have to exclude themselves from that discussion.”

Another new member is Fort St. John resident Sandra Busche. She is described as a co-owner as well as administrator and bookkeeper for Eagle Vision Video Productions.

“Her experience in aerial photography has given her insight into the Agriculture, Forestry and Oil and Gas industries,” a Ministry of Agriculture release states.

According to her company’s website, Eagle Vision’s clients include energy companies like Spectra and Encana, but also the city of Fort St. John and building contractors. She is slated to serve for three years on the new ALC panel.

The last appointee is Garry Scott, a retired Rolla farmer. According to the Ministry of Agriculture release, he farmed for 43 years, but has since transitioned to real estate investment and serves as president of Coleman Creek Investments and Northern Mountain

Water. He is slated to serve for two years.

Scott told the Alaska Highway News he was “pleased” to be selected for the position.

“It’s just going to be a very interesting job, I believe,” he said. “I’m just hoping to be able to be there to maybe implement some changes in how it works and everything like that.

“I think the problem was – and we’re hoping that Bill C-24 that is making the changes (to the ALC) will change some of that – the rules were one size-fits-all, and so the rules were made surrounding Fraser Valley and the Okanagan Valley.

A lot of those rules necessarily didn’t apply up here, and yet they were put on here.”

He went on to say that he did not have any personal experiences with the ALC while he farmed, but he knew others who “had some issues” with the ALC. “Hopefully we’ll be able to streamline things and work around things a little bit,” Scott said.

However, when asked for more specific information, he said it was “really difficult” to discuss, since he did not have all the information yet and it was still early in the process.

“I would expect that the panellists, the local panellists – and now you have to reside in the [region] – will look at what the (new ALC) legislation calls for,” said Letnick. “Whether that means it’ll be a different decision (from ones made in the past), that’ll be up to them.”

Merz and Busche did not return calls seeking comment as of press time.

Site C not necessarily a done deal, says energy minister S taff W riter

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said that Site C was only one of three options that the government is considering to recommend to the government to provide new electrical power to B.C. The proposed dam is a source of controversy within the community, as some welcome the jobs and energy it will create, while others don’t want the Peace River, farmland or First Nations sites to be damaged or destroyed.

Site C was recently given an environmental assessment certificate from both the B.C. and Federal environmental ministries, a major hurdle before the government can OK the project.

Bennett emphasized that Site C was not a done deal. He said his ministry was also looking at renewable energy from an independent power producer, as well as a natural gas plant, and that his team “(hasn’t) made up our mind yet as to what options we’re going to recommend to cabinet.”

The renewables option has been discussed with the B.C. energy ministry and the Clean Energy Association of B.C., Bennett explained.

“We’ve spent the last year working with the Clean Energy Association of B.C. to encourage them to put together their option and show government how in fact maybe we don’t need to build Site C to do this,” he said.

“Maybe we can do this through a combo of renewables and natural gas options.”

These renewables would be a combination of greener renewable energy and natural gas generation. “What’s most likely is it would be wind. The technology is real,” he said. “Where’s the best wind resource? It’s the Peace (Region).”

The other option would be natural gas. However, Bennett pointed out that building such a plant had some negatives, including that some communities simply would not want it located anywhere near them.

Also, “natural gas thermal is cheaper (than Site C), but not as much cheaper as I thought it would be,” he said.

He went on to say that even though the initial costs may be higher, Site C’s costs would be paid off over a longer time period.

There are also other factors that may complicate Site C’s construction. One of them is First Nations involvement.

Bennett acknowledged that the West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations, at least, have threatened legal action if government votes to go ahead with the project.

He remained hopeful that Site C could still be negotiated with the affected bands in Northeast B.C., even though West Moberly First Nations has publicly said that they do not plan to negotiate.

“We care what First Nations think about this project. Is their opinion important to us? Yes, absolutely.” He said. “Not all nations of Treaty 8 have indicated hostility to the project ... BC Hydro is trying to work to find opportunities for them to benefit if cabinet decides to approve it.”

Another complicating factor that Bennett addressed is that some groups – including the Joint Review Panel that analyzed BC Hydro’s proposal at length around the beginning of the year – have called for the B.C. Utilities Commission to have a look at the project’s costs.

But Bennett remained firm in saying that the BCUC would not have that opportunity, calling the Joint Review Panel’s recommendation “misinformed.” “(BC Hydro) exposed (Site C) to a high level of scrutiny of engineers, independent accountants. You would never get that level from the BCUC,” said Bennett. “It’s a real red herring to suggest that the BCUC could bring something else.”

Either way, the government’s decision to hand out an environmental assessment certificate to Site C remains controversial.

“We’re in the 21st century, and issuing certificates to destroy river valley is not an environmentally sound decision,” said PRRD Area C Director Arthur Hadland, whose presentation of a leaked letter from Bennett claiming that the B.C. government would remove any land affected by Site C from oversight by the Agricultural Land Commission was one of the most shocking moments of the Joint Review Panel’s Site C hearings.

“There’s nothing miti-

Energy Minister Bill Bennett told the Alaska Highway News that Site C is just one of three options the Province is considering to meet energy needs.

gable about destroying Class 1 farmland and/or probably the oldest permanent fort in B.C. If this were any other jurisdiction, they would have never considered it,” he said.

Hadland pushed for the energy to come from something other than Site C. “Don’t give me the malarkey that this isn’t green. They declared it green for LNG,” he said. “There are so many other energy sources in the tube.

We’re in the 21st century. Let’s start thinking like that.”

Andrea Morison of the Peace Valley Environment Association, another Site C opponent, also said that her battle “(wasn’t) over yet.”

“This project is really not in the interest of B.C. for so many reasons,” she said. “We continue to do our best to stand up for everyone in the province and make sure we don’t end up with another white elephant.”

The project was not without its supporters, though.

“I was happy to see the environmental assessment certificate be granted today,” said former Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom. “There’s a tremendous amount of work by a lot of people to get the project to this point.”

Ta ke A P aws Housebreaking your new puppy

Dr. Justin Sewell

Rivers Animal Hospital

Puppies are cute and cuddly but housebreaking your newly acquired friend may pose a challenge. Do not give up and be consistent; there will be accidents.

The younger your puppy is the more often it will need to go out. Within the first 4 months puppies usually urinate at least every 4 hours.

One of the most successful ways to housebreak a puppy is to take it to the desired elimination location after waking, after meals and if it loses interest in playing. It is also helpful to use a crate as a training tool, especially when you are out of the house during the day.

Getting your puppy used to the crate can take time and patience but is well worth it in the long run. Puppies are instinctively reluctant to void where they sleep and if taken out every few hours will go as you take them out.

Puppies will still eliminate in the crate if you leave them for too long. Never use the crate as a place for punishment, and make it as comfortable as possible.

Using verbal cues such as “outside” or something to this effect will help the pet recognize when it is time to eliminate. Always praise the puppy or give it a treat if it eliminates in the correct place. If you catch your puppy eliminating in the house then scold mildly, take outside and praise the puppy when it goes in the correct location. Never rub your puppy’s nose or face in the soiled area, the puppy will generally not remember that it made the mess and it will only make the puppy fearful. Areas that have been soiled should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent the dog being attracted to this area again. Some puppies will pee when they get nervous or very excited (submissive urination). This is often a condition that puppies will outgrow as they gain confidence and their urinary tract matures.

If despite your best efforts you are not succeeding make sure to discuss concerns with your Veterinarian as there can be medical or anatomical problems with your puppy’s urinary tract.

Should Daylight Savings Time be abolished?

Should daylight savings time be eliminated? I don't think so, but only because time in the Peace seems to be very relative.

I've been here around seven months, and in that time I've met people who operate strictly on Alberta time, or people who keep their clocks the same year round. It's somehow poetic—this sliver of land whose loyalties vacillate between Vancouver and Edmonton with the changing of the seasons.

Somehow we've survived this long.

Daylight savings time works well for my own purposes, especially when I need to call someone in Victoria for a story. Having an extra hour gives those folks a little more time to not actually answer my questions.

But more than anything, daylight savings time serves to illustrate the extent to which time is a social construct completely devoid of any inherent meaning. I'm really fun at parties.

Science Matters David Suzuki

Commissioner’s report shows Canada must do more for environment Canadians expect to have our environment protected, and to know how it’s being protected. A report from Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development shows we’re being short-changed.

“In many key areas that we looked at, it is not clear how the government intends to address the significant environmental challenges that future growth and development will likely bring about,” commissioner Julie Gelfand said of the report, which used government data, or lack thereof, to assess the government’s success or failure to implement its own regulations and policies.

Among other things, the report concludes Canada is not on track to meet its greenhouse gas emissions targets, has delayed monitoring of oil sands

William Stodalka

Just because an idea worked doesn't mean that it will always work.

There was once upon a time when daylight savings made sense. However, this was when the world was more rural and dependent on the sunlight.

Now, though, it comes with certain costs with an increasingly urban and industrial world. Just this year, for the first time, 50 per cent of the population lived in urban centres.

Even though, for many of them, it doesn't matter when the sun rises or sets, their schedules are still affected by daylight savings time.

It can be cute if only one person forgets to spring forward or set back their clocks for the changeover. But this is not the case, as a surprising number of people seem to forget. Studies have shown that on these changeover days, there are more accidents on the road than not as people are in a rush or have to suddenly re-adjust their schedules. A study from the University of British Columbia in the 1990s found an eight per cent jump in trafic accidents on the move ahead dates.

Also, from personal experience, I can say that it certainly doesn’t feel like I’m getting an extra hour of sunlight. It mostly just feels like an inconvenience that I’m glad modern cell phones have been programmed to remember. It also disrupts my sleep schedule, and to me, there’s nothing more important than getting a good night’s sleep, even for an extra hour.

pollutants and lacks plans to monitor the oil sands beyond next year, and has no clear guidelines regarding what projects require environmental assessments. On top of that, the government has been promising oil and gas sector emission regulations since 2006, but has yet to release them. It claims new regulatory proposals were completed a year ago, but the report finds those are based on consultation only with “one province and selected industry representatives” — all unnamed. The oil and gas industry is Canada’s fastest-growing source of emissions, especially the oil sands.

The report also found government reporting on emissions to be misleading, especially in not giving due credit.

For example, what little progress has been made in reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions comes mainly from Ontario’s move to shut down its coal-powered generators.

And total emissions continue to rise.

“There’s no overall plan, national plan, for how we’re going to achieve our target,” Gelfand told reporters at a news conference. “And climate change is affecting all Canadians.”

She also noted the federal committee responsible for the climate plan hasn’t met in three years.

Although government has a “Northern Strategy”, the commissioner found surveying and the capacity to

make charts of the Arctic are inadequate and that icebreaking services have decreased, while vessel traffic has increased. Considering the profound changes from global warming in the north, this is serious.

Sadly, the inability of governments to deal with climate change is neither just national, nor recent. We’ve been saddled with government indolence on climate and pollution for far too long, and in far too many places around the world. But Canada has been singled out for getting in the way of progress at global climate negotiations, and we’re the only country to have pulled out of the legally binding Kyoto Protocol. In rejecting the notion of proven methods to reduce emissions through carbon pricing, our prime minister said, “No matter what they say, no country is going to take actions that are going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.”

But evidence from around the world shows numerous economic benefits from acting on climate change, while failing to act comes with massive and increasing costs, including to human health and well-being. The idea that we should base our economic progress on digging up and selling our resources — from coal to liquefied natural gas to oil sands bitumen — as quickly as possible is absurd. Even if

we ignore pollution and global warming, wasting these valuable resources borrows from our children and grandchildren and leaves them nothing in return.

Everywhere, people are demanding change. More than 300,000 attended the People’s Climate March in New York in September, with many more joining scores of solidarity marches in cities around the world. A growing number of business leaders and global organizations, including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, are calling for carbon pricing through carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems to help address the crisis.

Religious leaders, including the Pope and Desmond Tutu, have joined scientists and scientific organizations from every continent to demand action.

During the David Suzuki Foundation’s cross-country Blue Dot Tour, I’ve heard from countless Canadians who are doing their part to protect the air, water, soil and biological diversity that keep us alive and healthy. They expect our elected representatives to do the same.

As the environment commissioner said of the government’s inability to meet its own targets, “When you make a commitment, you need to keep it.”

That’s especially true when it comes to global warming, the most serious challenge our species has faced.

Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman said it was important that people were able to tour the home over the year following its construction. The temporary tenants are knowledgeable about the house, and are willing to show it, said city manager Dianne Hunter.

Passivhaus to get its first tenants David Dyck Staff Writer

Passivhaus, the energy-efficient test house in Fort St. John scheduled for completion in December, will be getting two year-long tenants soon after, the city decided at Tuesday’s council meeting.

Although the question of rent will be decided at a later date, part of the duties of the two potential tenants, Paul Gillis and Catherine Rudell, will be to promote and monitor the environmentally friendly house.

“We need to talk about their active engagement – on our website blogging, tweeting, how many tours, the level of care and maintenance – because we want it treated like a show home versus just a home that you live in."

"That has to be all worked out, so I deliberately left that blank,” responded City Manager Dianne Hunter to Councillor Larry Evans’ question about how much rent the city would charge.

“What I was looking for, No. 1, was the use of the Passivhaus as a living lab, and No. 2 certainly entertaining Paul Gillis and Catherine Rudell as the tenants, and then giving me the authority to enter into the discussion of what’s the appropriate tenancy

agreement.”

Passivhaus was built to conform to a certain standard of energy efficiency, and to find out if it can meet that standard, it needs to be lived in by people over the course of a full year. Council is calling this the “living lab.”

The goal is for the house to consume between 80 and 90 per cent less energy than – and at approximate cost to – a normal Fort St. John home of the same size.

“Because it was a demonstration project, we need the data from that. We need people to be able to tour it,” said Mayor Ackerman.

“Once we’ve got that year’s data, we can move forward with the use of this house in other areas.”

Those tenants, a husband and wife, were specifically chosen for their knowledge of Passivhaus.

Gillis was one of the contractors who built this one, and the couple reportedly plans on building a Passivhaus themselves.

The pilot project has cost approximately $600,000 to build so far, double the $300,000 the city originally expected to spend.

The city has stated before that any Passivhaus built in the future will benefit financially from the experience gained in building this one.

Sr. Flyers take two games from Fort Nelson Yeti Byron Hackett Staff Writer

The lights have finally come on at the North Peace Arena after a long off-season and fans filled the rink over the course of the weekend to take in some of the highest calibre hockey around the Peace.

After the Fort St. John Huskies treated fans to a hard fought 6-5 win on Friday, the Senior Flyers took over the NPA for two exhibition games against the Fort Nelson Yeti on Saturday and Sunday to kick start their senior hockey season.

On Saturday night in front of decent sized crowd that contained a large contingent of Yeti fans, the Flyers took on Fort Nelson in the first exhibition action of the season with the home side putting forth a strong offensive effort in a 5-2 win. The Flyers got goals from five different goal scores Saturday, including Joey Massingham, Jeff Fast, Taylor Greatrex, Jeff Shipton, Kole Calliou, and Luke Middleton.

Both teams were back at it Sunday afternoon with slightly lower fan base on hand— the Flyers snuck out a dramatic win just eight seconds into overtime on a rush from Forward Adam Horst.

“Horsty didn’t want to play too long in overtime so he decided to score,” Head coach Gerard Dicaire said with a chuckle.

The veteran forward said the extra time winner was just a matter of getting the puck to the net.

“It had been a rough couple of games for me, I had a million chances but I just couldn’t seem to put the puck in the net,” Horst said after the game Sunday. “Off the face off there I got a bit of an opening and I thought I would just go for it right off the bat and get it over with if I can and it worked out.”

The Flyers jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead after goals from Massingham and Aaron Schepers.

They looked in complete control and almost too comfortable with a 2-0 lead throughout the second period, before the Yeti snatched some of the momentum back with 4:30 remaining in the frame on a goal by Kole Norris. With just over a minute remaining in the period Mike Fiddler evened the game for Fort Nelson.

Despite outshooting the Yeti 26-16 after two periods, the Flyers

couldn’t pull away and Horst said belief in the team’s ability carried them through the rough stretch in the second and midway through the third before the go ahead goal by assistant captain Tyler Loney.

“We just couldn’t get any puck luck and we couldn’t make anything happen. We knew we had what it takes to make it end in our favour we just couldn’t get there.

Just had to suck it up and make it happen,” he said.

“We know it’s exhibition and we haven’t been on the ice a lot, guys are still trying to get a feel for the puck and the speed of the game… the shooting and missing the net is just part of the pre season and that’s why we have it.”

With just 1:38 remaining the Yeti scored on a partial breakaway

by Travis Johnson who was able to slide a backhand underneath an outstretched pad of Flyers goalie Dillon Maier.

Dicaire explained that his team was back on their heels a bit late in the game and it eventually cost them the tying goal.

“Well they had a chance early in the third off our power play there carter had a breakaway, so it could have gone either way. Willie [Duchesnse] played real well in net for them so, stuff like that happens so we just deal with that as it comes,” he said.

The final minute featured a flurry of action with both Maier and Yeti goaltender Willie Duchesnse making huge saves to keep the game tied at three.

Maier ended up making 24 saves in the win, well Duchesnse was forced to make 36, many of which came from under immense offensive zone pressure from the Senior Flyers.

The head coach noted that his team was on the fortunate end of a lineup surplus, one positive so far

early on this season, which he hopes can continue throughout the year.

“It was good, the boys were a bit sluggish from last night, we had four lines and they had fourteen skaters. I think everybody was tired, but I’m just glad we had the four lines and not the 14 skaters,” Dicaire said about his team’s effort on Sunday afternoon.

“We have a younger squad this year, younger than even last year so I mean some the Huskies come up and some of the new guys move to town that are working here so it’s been good. They seem committed so far but we will see how it is when the first road game comes around how many guys show up for the bus at 5 O’clock.”

The Senior Flyers will next welcome the defending NPHL champion Spirit River Rangers to the NPA on Friday, October 24.

Dicaire said he feels like that

will be a strong measure of what the young players can bring to the table this season.

“Just chipping pucks in and getting our feet moving. With these young guys they bring in a lot of speed with them. Just get in their mindset to chip pucks in, they aren’t toe dragging like in Junior B so little things like that. We will work on it on Wednesday and go from there,” he said.

Horst on the other hand looks forward to a more competitive and physical game in the third test in this young season.

“We are going to expect a lot more physical game, we always have really fun games against Spirit River, they are a tough team and a big team with a lot of skill.

We are going to be better than we were this weekend,” he said. “We are hoping we can put it all together this week and make it happen.”

CHARLIE LAKE CONSERVATION SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY POINT OF INTEREST

Unwelcome Visitors?

William Stodalka Photo

About 60 marchers walked from the Fort St. John Native Friendship Centre to City Hall, carrying banners, one with photos of 12 such missing and murdered women.

Aboriginal women missing, but not forgotten William Stodalka Staff Writer

Rene Gunning was a 19-year-old like any other.

Paige Wilde, 17, describes her as an “amazing” person: “She always made everybody laugh and smile. She was really outgoing.”

Gunning had travelled to the West Edmonton Mall, and the last thing her family heard, she was going to hitch a ride back.

And six years later, in 2011, some travellers happened upon her skull and backbone.

Gunning – and a growing list of other women, particularly of First Nations heritage, who have been murdered or gone missing – were memorialized at the Fort St. John Sisters in Spirit Vigil last Friday.

About 60 marchers walked from the Fort St. John Native Friendship Centre to City Hall, carrying banners, one with photos of 12 such missing and murdered women.

Northeast B.C. has been linked to an unfortunate number of these cases in the pat.

Most recently, Pamela Napoleon’s body was found in a burned out trapper’s cabin after a long search this summer.

While the event was also meant to commemorate women, some of the marchers also chose to highlight the case of Christopher Davis, a Blueberry River First Nations man whose body was found near Charlie Lake in 2013. (At the time, police described his death as drug-related.)

Many people who drove by gave support by honking, and one person in particular handed out water bottles to the marchers.

For people like Wilde, it’s important that people like Gunning – the daughter of her mother’s boyfriend – are remembered.

“I find that a lot of time when they’re Aboriginal women, they’re just pushed aside and not shown a lot in the media. But when it’s white, they’re shown everywhere,” she

said. “They’re just forgotten about. But they’re never forgotten to us. They’re still family with us.”

Wilde and local Aboriginal activist Connie Greyeyes both spoke in front of City Hall about the dangers facing Aboriginal women.

“I don’t want to have to worry every weekend about my nieces going out and something happening to them because of the colour of their skin,” said Greyeyes. “It’s time to start demanding justice for our sisters, their families and our children.”

Greyeyes also turned some of her criticism to Fort St. John’s City Council. “You can see by the lack of any of our politicians in Fort St. John, this is how serious they take this,” she said.

(Councillor Larry Evans did join the march. He was the only councillor who attended.)

Afterwards, Greyeyes said she thought the march had a “good turnout.”

“Every year, there are new faces that come,” she said. “Look at how many young people are – young men, young girls. It’s going to have to start with them. It’s important to show them that you can use your voice, and eventually our voices will be heard.”

Greyeyes said that many of the people marching had a personal connection, and thus a major drive, towards the event.

“Probably most of the people you’re looking at right now have somebody in their life that is either missing or murdered,” she said.

“Many of the women that have been missing or have been murdered, I had a friendship with – some way more than others.

“As a human being, I can’t see how this doesn’t affect everyone. This is such a small community, so to have this many deaths and missing women cases ... when people like this show up, there’s a sense of ‘somebody cares.’”

What is going on in Charlie Lake? There is a growing concern about changes in the water. Residents and boaters have noticed that water weeds are appearing and spreading around Charlie Lake’s shorelines. Other lakes in western Canada have seen the arrival of unwanted and fish threatening invasive plants which have taken a strangle hold on open water. Are these concerns warranted for our lake?

The Charlie Lake Conservation Society in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment held a community dialogue to discuss this issue in June 2014 in Charlie Lake.

Nick Baccante discussed what was known about aquatic plants found in Charlie Lake with comparison to lakes in the Prince George area.

Samples were taken in 2012 from weed beds around the lake by the Charlie Lake Conservation Society. These were sent to the Ministry of Environment weed expert, Dennis Einarson, in Kamloops. Dennis reported that these plants were native species – great news for the lake! The key plants identified were Robbins Pond Weed (Potamogeton robbinsii), Small Pond Weed (Potamogeton berchtoldi), vernal water starwort (Callitriche pulustris) and white stemmed pondweed (Potamogeton praelongus). An additional plant found during the 2014 tour of weed beds identified by Dennis as a native plant know as Flat-stemmed pondweed (Potamogeton zosteriformis Fern).

In comparison to some lakes in the Prince George area, non-native invasive species have choked out the shoreline with extremely dense plant growth causing problems even for fish.

Although it is a relief that these plants are naturally occurring, is their noticeable growth, particularly to boaters and water skiers, still an issue? In discussions with the late Bob Odland, an ardent fisherman and long time lake watcher, weed beds were prominent features surrounding Charlie Lake shoreline prior to the raising of the lake level by 3 feet with the installation of the weir at the south end of the lake.

It is speculated that the increased resulting erosion and siltation smothered most of the weed beds. For many of us with shorter term observations of the lake, we have just known a lake with a very few number of weed beds such as Girl Guide Bay near Beatton Provincial Park.

After 30 years of the lake level change, it appears that nature is returning the lake to its previous ecological condition as the shoreline stabilizes. The weed beds are not unwanted visitors, but neighbours returning home. *Note that there are steps that we can all take to avoid the real threat of unwanted visitors to Charlie Lake: Don’t release fish, animals or plants into Charlie Lake. Be sure to clean your boats of unwanted hitchhikers if boating in other lakes, particularly those that may have plants that don’t naturally call Charlie Lake, home. *Note that any works in and around water, including significant aquatic plant removal, is against the law without permission and a permit from the Ministry of Environment.

With four drivers eliminated, the Chase field now stands at eight. The Eliminator Round consists of three races: Martinsville Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway. A Chase driver who wins one of those three races will automatically clinch a spot in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship race at HomesteadMiami Speedway on Nov. 16. The rest of the four-driver field to compete for the title in the season finale will be determined by the points scored in the three Eliminator Round races.

Chase for the Cup: Goody’s 500 Preview

The first race at Martinsville Speedway was run on September 7, 1947 and Robert “Red” Bryon won $500 out of a $2,000 purse. NASCAR was formed in 1948 and Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th of that year. At slightly more than half a mile, Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Circuit but it has 800-foot straights, turns banked at only 12 degrees and has been called “two drag strips with a turnaround on each end.” The demanding layout consistently produces some of the wildest fender scrubbing, push and shove racing on the tour.

Last Weekend’s Race: Brad Keselowski won the GEICO 500 In a must-win situation at Talladega Superspeedway, Brad Keselowski did exactly what he had to do in order to preserve his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship hopes. He won on Sunday in the GEICO 500. With the right side of his car damaged in a wreck, that brought out the first caution flag of the afternoon, Keselowski persevered, taking the lead during the first attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag finish and winning the race in the second overtime. He finished after a wreck had ended the title run of Keselowski’s former boss, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Keselowski’s victory was his sixth win of the season, his third at Talladega and the 16th of his career.

Germany’s Martin Kaymer defeated Bubba Watson in a sudden-death playoff to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda last week. Kaymer, who held a twoshot lead over Masters champion Watson following an opening 65, birdied the first extra hole at Port Royal Golf Course after the pair had finished tied on six under par. The US Open champion holed from six feet on the par-four 18th hole and then saw Watson miss from half the distance to extend the play-off.

World No 1 Rory McIlroy, who won the Open Championship and PGA Championship this year, struggled to a 75 to finish two over par, one ahead of Jim Furyk.

Lessons from the Golf Pro One of the big faults that the amateur golfer finds is when they hit a shot into trouble. A professional can find a way to escape disaster, but the general rule for an amateur is that trouble leads to more trouble. The one shot that causes the amateur the most trouble is when a tee shot goes into the woods. We’re so mad when our shot is out of the fairway and in a tree that it usually leads to a second erratic shot. Consequently, most people race up to find the shot, just grab a club and hack away. Instead, a more sensible plan is the best course of action. Picking the right club with the proper loft is essential. Too much loft could lead to your shot going into the overhanging leaves. Not enough loft will result in the ball getting hung up in the woods again.
