Trash export ban rejected

Black Press An effort to block Metro Vancouver from exporting its garbage to the U.S. as a fallback waste-disposal option was defeated at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta spoke in support of the TNRDbacked resolution to ban all international exports of landfillable waste, arguing his town stands to lose more than 100 waste-handling jobs at the Cache Creek Regional Landfill if Metro halts its shipments in 2016 as planned. Metro plans to build a new waste-to-energy plant but that’s not expected to be ready until late 2018 and it has reserved the temporary option of exporting garbage if necessary. “We have the best climate and the right geology to safely dispose of waste in our area,”
Ranta said. But Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, former chair of Metro’s Solid Waste Committee, said the resolution was out of order because it would violate international trade deals. “These are goods that can be exported just like coal or gas or wood,” he said of garbage. Hunt also noted some B.C. communities – including Whistler and Powell River – already export their waste to a Washington State landfill run by Rabanco, which hopes to land Metro Vancouver as a customer as well. “[A provincial ban] would make all those contracts null and void, which is contrary to international free trade,” he said. Hunt said U.S. exports are just one option for Metro and the regional district could still negotiate to extend its use of the Cache Creek landfill if it needs to send more waste out of the region.
Horses on highway cause two accidents
Cache Creek shows off some of its Fall colours along Hwy 1.
Police received several calls about horses on Hwy 97 near Hwy 99 on Sept. 25 just after 11 pm. Before police could ge there, a pickup truck had collided with one of the horses and an oncoming car had flipped in trying to avoid the first accident. A Kelowna man driving a southbound pickup stuck and killed one horse. In doing so, his disabled vehicle ended up in the oncoming lane. A northbound Clinton woman did not see the horses in the darkness, but observed the pickup swerve and took evasive action to avoid a collision. She ended up rolling her vehicle and had to be extracted from her vehicle by officers attending the scene. They broke a window in order to help her get out. Both drivers suffered minor injuries and were taken to Kamloops’ hospital for observation. The rest of the horses were rounded up by their owner.

Nicola Valley rancher named new B.C. Lieutenant Governor
Judy Guichon speaks to the annual B.C. Cattlemen’s Association barbecue at the B.C. legislature in 2010. Black Press files
by Tom Fletcher Black Press Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been named B.C. Lieutenant Governor, as Sto:lo Grand Chief Steven Point’s five-year term comes to an end. Guichon runs the family cattle ranch in the Nicola Valley. She has served as president of the
B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, a director of the Grassland Conservation Council of B.C., and on provincial government task forces on ranching and species at risk. “Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, province and country,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement Monday. “She is a leader in keeping British Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries environmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Columbia.” Premier Christy Clark thanked Point for his work and congratulated Guichon. “She has a deep appreciation for the history and traditions of British Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensuring that we all stay connected to our roots – particularly through her work with the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association,” Clark said. Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of prime ministers. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s representative in each province, declaring new legislation and performing ceremonial duties around the province. Point is a former provincial court judge. Before being named to chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission, Point served as an elected chief of the Skowkale First Nation for 15 years. He also served as the tribal chair of the Stó:lo Nation Government, and Grand Chief of the Stó:lo Tribal Council.
Ashcroft’s sea cadets stay active with year-round events and camps
Cadets learn sailing skills Recently, the cadets of 347 RCSCC Avenger, Ashcroft’s local Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, had their first sail weekend of the year. Avenger has two sail weekends per year, one at the beginning of the cadet year, and one towards the end. On sail weekends, the cadets get a chance to experience sailing, taught by the instructors from the corps. The cadets of 347 RCSCC Avenger camp overnight for two days at the Kamloops Sailing Association on Nicola Lake and work on skill development they need to acquire their CanSail levels through the program. The cadets look forward to
exercising their abilities and trying new things - even if it means getting a little wet. Thet akso set up and take down camp and are responsible for rigging and the care of the sail boats they use over the weekend. Sail weekends are simply just one of the many activities the cadets anticipate throughout the year. 347 RCSCC Avenger parades weekly at the Ashcroft Secondary School from 6-9pm. Come to one of these drill nights, or contact the Commanding Officer of the corps, Darrin Curran at 1-250-319-3461 for more information. Taryn Dodman
Lower duties, more alcohol and a shark fin ban highlight UBCM by Tom Fletcher Black Press The annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention was held last week, attracting municipal politicians and staff from all over the province. The convention gives municipalities the opportunity to meet with various Provincial Ministers to discuss the impact of provincial policies, funding, etc., on local issues, and to debate those same issues among themselves.
Medical pot controls demanded B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medical marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues. The vote came during the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to support decriminalization of marijuana. “We need to find a way to know where these are so we can provide some regulatory control,” North Cowichan regional district director Al Siebring said. He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada but are growing “far, far more” than permitted and are increasingly linked to organized crime. The Surrey-sponsored resolution calls on the federal government to force medical pot growers to first get a municipal permit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations. It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the con-
vention floor in the previous two years but was tabled each time amid concerns from some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ privacy and reduce medical marijuana access. Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual licences to grow medical pot and instead direct authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers. Senior B.C. Conservative minister James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijuana – to decriminalize it – won’t sway the federal government. “We’re elected on a platform that very explicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.”
Cities push B.C.-wide shark fin ban UBCM delegates voted by a wide margin to ask the province to outlaw the possession or sale of shark fins that Chinese restaurants turn into coveted bowls of shark fin soup. Activists have been going from city to city in Metro Vancouver convincing councils to impose local bans but North Vancouver City Coun. Craig Keating said a provincial ban is preferable, along with a federally imposed ban on shark fin imports, to combat the “inhumane and wasteful” practice of harvesting sharks for fins.
Cross-border cash drain debated The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that generated debate. Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby the federal government to rescind its recent loosening of overnight
duty free limits, which significantly increased the value of goods Canadians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours. “The federal government is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spending,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said. But the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham opposed it and said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax collection of duties and taxes by Canadian border guards.
Thumbs down on casino benefit reform A proposal to redistribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities get to cities without gambling facilities was rejected amid concerns over how it would work. Advocates said the current system where only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. could easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities. Port Coquitlam reps said they didn’t intend for host cities to lose money, suggesting the province could keep them whole while providing a per capita share of gaming profits to the have-nots – a scenario many at UBCM considered unlikely. Other delegates said have-not cities
made their choice in the past not to have a casino – or the local costs and impacts that sometimes accompany them. View Royal Coun. David Screech said BCLC couldn’t provide the address of every patron and suggested interested communities instead pursue local gambling revenue-sharing agreements.
Looser festival booze backed Despite concern from some delegates, UBCM agreed to back a liquor licensing reform that would let adults drink in the presence of minors at music festivals and certain other special events. The Whistler-sponsored resolution aims to let families enjoy an event together, rather than forcing patrons into a segregated, enclosed beer garden. Some opponents said B.C. should be moving away from the culture of alcohol at entertainment events, not reinforcing it.
Moore stands by coast guard cut James Moore defended the federal government’s decision to cut the Kitsilano coast guard base in Vancouver, saying the city will still have the highest level of coastal rescue response in the country. The senior Conservative cabinet minister in B.C. accused Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson of failing to raise his concerns directly with Ottawa before his council fired a political broadside. Moore said the federal government is sticking to the decision to cut the Kitsilano base and increase the response capacity at Sea Island in Richmond as well See UBCM on p. 9

Even food on the shelf can be deadly Three related stories caught my eye this week. You’ve probably read of at least one of them - another large food recall, stemming from an Alberta meat-packing company. Ironically, a group called Farmers Feed Cities released a study questioning the ability of consumers to make the right choices in picking food off the grocery shelves, ensuring the populace that the dairy and meat and genetically-modified food wouldn’t be on the shelf if it hadn’t been first inspected and approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). And then there is a report from a group called Value Chain Management Centre that says Canadians toss out 51 per cent of food that they buy. That’s $27 billion worth of food in a year. And most of it goes out with the household trash. Packaging and processing is blamed for 18 per cent of lost food, followed by retail stores (11 per cent), the farming stage (nine per cent), the food service industry (eight per cent) and transport and distribution (three per cent). Last month, the U.S. Natural Resources Defence Council estimated that nearly 40 per cent of food in the States ends up in the trash ever year. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly one-third of all food is lost or wasted, which amounts to about 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year. So, if we’re tossing out all of this bad food, how is it that we’re still getting sick on it? Actually, I suspect we’re throwing out the good while eating the bad. Meanwhile, about 860 million people in the world are malnourished. We certainly do live in a country where food is plentiful. Good food as well as bad. Not necessarily food that has gone bad, but junk food that makes us unhealthy. I don’t suppose it’s a coincidence that Thanksgiving is just around the corner and has everyone focussed on food. The industry wants us to buy it; consumers want easy access to locally-grown nutritious food. There is a middle ground, but you really have to watch what you put in your cart.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Brand is a mistake that needs correcting Dear Editor I have always been of the opinion that I have no right to complain unless I do something about it. I briefly attended the “Wellness Awaits You” branding information meeting - a complete waste of time. It was a mutual back-patting exercise and they were not open to opposing views. When the survey on the brand (76 per cent disagreement, 15 agreement agreement, nine per cent undecided) was presented to mayor and council, Mayor Anderson mentioned compromise, possibly a referendum. He stated to me that he doesn’t remember saying that. The branding ambassadors were asked what this process cost and the person was told they didn’t know. Not too responsible as more than $64,000 was spent on this false advertising for our community. They have been asked repeatedly to ex-
plain in 10 words or less what the brand means and have not been able to. I was told later after leaving the meeting angry and disgusted that the multi-coloured cow patties represent sun, sage, tomatoes, dirt, etc. The $64,000 is just part of a larger amount for community diversification by Community Futures. The brand and logo are now adopted by Mayor and Council. So, if half the people I have heard complain about this meaningless, newage pap let their views be known to Mayor and Council then perhaps the wishes of the majority can be recognized.

munity Futures for $59. Go to Small Business BC to check out this program. It offers video conferencing etc. Free online research could have reaped inexpensive ideas as well. Maybe Ashcroft was the first to jump on the branding wagon and this information was not available and so we had to blaze an expensive path. Now our hardworking volunteers/ambassadors with Jackie Tegart and another Head Volunteer are going to try to raise $6,000-$8,000 for a three-day Wellness Fair next summer. Whose pockets will be picked? You and I - one way or another through taxpayer’s grants, donations, fundraisers that compete with what other organizations, schools and churches do. Expect to pay as well when you attend the Fair or maybe it will all be free. I dream when I can. When does this stop? However, just maybe our dedicated ambassadors will step back and reconsider their next steps. I dream again. Is there an inexpensive seminar that deals with how to fix a costly mistake? I have a healthy, happy idea for the volunteers that could result in measurable outcomes. How about raising money to pay for a consultant (big dollars in the consutling business) that will assess the costs of stopping the train whistles?

Dumping one addiction for another ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com
Three months ago at the beginning of the summer, I wrote a column about my 30 year addiction to junk food. I am happy to report it is now in remission. This may seem like an insignificant feat to some, but for me and the self inflicted jail of a body that I built for myself, it’s a game changer. It’s also an entirely different accomplishment than just losing a dramatic amount of weight, which I’ve done several times in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. My most extreme weight loss was when I was 25 and I lost 85 lbs by jogging daily and eating an unhealthy, low-fat, low cal
diet. Since then I’ve gained and lost 30 lbs over and over, never keeping it off for good. Why? Because I never stopped eating crap. My belief was that I could drink pop as long as it was calorie free. I thought it was okay to eat processed garbage if it said something as clever as “low fat” or “less than 100 calories” on the package. And I also thought it was fine to skip meals as important as breakfast and then devour six Skinny Cow Fudgesicles right before bed. The goal for me was always about losing weight rather than becoming as healthy as I could be, and because of that my
successes with the scale would never last long. At a certain point I finally did enough reading on the subject that I came to understand that some people develop an addiction to junk-food and I was clearly one of them. At first I wondered if that was just a cop out, a lack of will power on my part and on the part of others who struggle with over eating and eating disorders. I then discovered there is neuroscientific proof that some
of our brains react to food the exact same way other brains react to drugs. It was an eye opener that changed the way I looked at my problem and how I should be dealing with it. At the beginning of July I sat down at the computer and typed every single garbage food or beverage I was injesting. My goal with this list was to find a healthy substitute for all of them and then commit to making a switch for a full 21 days. I had read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a new habit and I liked the sounds of that. I figured if I was a junk food junkie and the “everything in moderation” theory didn’t work on me, perhaps I could change my harmful addiction to a helpful addiction instead. How hard could it be? I liked lots of healthy food. I just never ate much of it when I was busy eating crap since the crap I consumed had me craving more of the same. I replaced diet pops with

ice water, coffee and Baileys with organic lattes, white rice with quinoa, ice cream with yogurt parfaits, and limitless spoonfulls of Nutella with a delicious square of dark chocolate instead. The list was rather lengthy, but I was able to figure out a nutritious alternative that I liked for everything, and I never allowed myself to feel hungry or deprived. After 21 days I felt like I had traded one addiction for three. No longer craving junk, my old obsession was replaced by an addiction to healthy foods, working out and treating myself with love. I’m down 25 lbs now and for the first time ever I don’t fear gaining weight because I’m finally listening to my body and giving it what it needs, and now wants as well. Have I sworn off pizza and cookies for good? No way. They just happen to now be homemade, nutritious and far more delicious. More columns, blogs, cartoons and videos can be found at LoriWelbourne.com
