Residents to receive important mail

Representatives of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD), including Area E Bonaparte Plateau Director Sally Watson, met with about two dozen 70 Mile House residents on June 16 to discuss annual funding for the 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department (70MHVFD). The fire department executive has asked the TNRD to consider the adoption of a proposed financial contribution to the 70 Mile House Fire Protection Service If approved, the 139 property owners with-

in the service area will provide annual tax funding – to a maximum of $15,000 – as a contribution to the cost of providing fire protection service in 70 Mile House. The funding will be used by the 70 Mile House Firefighters Association (70MHFA) for annual operating and equipment costs. Noting the TNRD will soon be sending out petitions to all residents within eight kilometres (fire protection area) of the fire hall, Gail Moseley, 70MHFA secretary treasurer, asks residents to watch for the petition to arrive

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, although you are initially willing to go along with the group’s plans, in the long run you want to set off in your own direction. A few stragglers may join you. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higherups know where your priorities lie. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship is not going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It can be quite difficult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week.

ATV poker ride slated for July 5

Green Lake Snowmobile Club inviting folks for ride, lunch and dance Ken Alexander Free Press

The Green Lake Snowmobile Club (GLSC) is hosting its inaugural ATV Poker Ride, starting from the clubhouse (176 South Green Lake Rd.) on July 5. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the ride starts at 10:30. Lunch will follow 0around 12:30 p.m. GLSC president Peter McKie says the ride is 25 kilometres long with five checkpoints to where riders pick one card and then travel to the next station. “The route is marked and there will be an

opportunity to purchase one card to better your hand for a chance to win a prize. This is not a ‘fastest is bestest’ ride.” Including the ride and lunch, it costs $15 for adults, $10 for riders 10 years and younger, and $5 for just lunch. McKie notes folks have to bring their own ATVs and need to be 16 years old and hold a valid driver’s licence, or they can ride with someone on a legal twoperson ATV.

At 8 p.m., folks can show up at the clubhouse for a dance and snacks with live music provided by Jack Keough and Friends. McKie says the ride, lunch, open house and dance is to let folks know about the 91 kilometres of tenured multi-use (snowmobile and ATV) trails that the club maintains and the fun members have at the clubhouse. “We’re members of the ABC Snowmobile

Lac la Hache barn razed by blaze

Two departments, 17 volunteer firefighters kept busy Carole Rooney Free Press

Fire destroyed a large outbuilding at a home on Highway 97 near Ogden Road in Lac la Hache early on June 17. Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department chief Terry Murphy says the call came in at 3:30 a.m., and crews found the auxiliary building was fully engulfed upon their arrival. A large group of firefighters responding from two departments fought to ensure the fire, which was blazing in an old barn that also formerly housed a chicken coop and greenhouse, did not spread to the house or other structures, he notes. Murphy notes a total of 13 Lac la Hache members with four trucks responded to battle the blaze, along with mutual aid provided by four members and two water tenders from the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer

Fire Department. “We just protected the exposures, and what we call ‘darkened it down’ [to eliminate the biggest flames] and sprayed it until it was out. “There was no loss of chickens and no loss of livestock, or anything like that.” While it is not known what started the fire, the property owner told him the barn structure was empty at the time

and had a light left turned on with an electrical cord running out to it, he explains. Murphy says the fire is not considered suspicious and the cause is not under further investigation. “Nobody was hurt, it went fine and we cleared the scene at 6 a.m. and were back at the hall by 6:30 a.m.” Noting all members wore breathing appara-

tus because the scene was quite smoky, the fire chief adds he had BC Ambulance Service on scene for rehabilitation purposes, in case any of the crew had needed treatment for inhalation or injury.

Legislature closed with bitter farm debate

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The British Columbia legislature adjourned for the summer with Opposition NDP MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones. The B.C. Liberal government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consultation with farmers around the province. Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farmland uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Commission panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Columbia RiverRevelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald accused the government of adding social and economic considerations to farmland as a pretext to undermine the commission’s independence. “We are talking about important agricultural areas that will now be open to exclusions, that decision being made by a bunch of B.C. Liberal political hacks on criteria that are totally nebulous – to the extend that there’s

even a provision to add whatever else the cabinet wants to add,” Macdonald said. “It could be economic. It could be social. It could be anything.” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criticism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve productive farmland. Letnick used the example of a Peace River region farmer who was prevented from parking gas industry trucks on his land during winter to earn extra money. “We, as a government, believe that

there’s an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land.” NDP Leader John Horgan said a leaked 2012 e-mail exchange between Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm suggests a “vendetta” against the ALC and a desire to weaken it for political gain. Pimm, who was replaced as agriculture minister as he undergoes cancer surgery, issued an apology this week for his comments in the e-mail.

Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island zones, which generate 85 per cent of B.C.’s farm income. “We are making
