Vanderhoof Children’s Theatre visit Disneyland
The Vanderhoof Children’s Theatre pose for some group photos during their trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. Jesse Cole Omineca Express They say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth and it would seem that assertion is true based off the response of Vanderhoof Children’s Theatre (VCT) members upon returning home from their eight day getaway to the fabled childhood paradise. The VCT returned to Vanderhoof from Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. on July 17, after a week of honing their theatrical skills in Disneyland’s performing arts workshops, part of the mega-corporation’s youth programs. The VCT spent 10

months fundraising the $80,000 necessary to bring the 40 people involved in the VCT across the border. “The trip was more than I ever expected,” said Richard Wruth, director of the VCT. “I would like to thank every person and business that was able to help make this trip possible. I can’t wait to do it again.” During their time at Disneyland, members of the VCT took part in a variety of performance workshops. “The workshops that we participated in were truly the most amazing workshops that I have ever been involved with,” Wruth said. “To see the

Jody Geernaert Cassista said “having the opportunity to go to Disneyland with this amazing group is one that I will remember for the rest of my life.” Kids involved in the trip weren’t the only ones spouting out exclamations about the trip, parents of VCT members also had positive things to say about the experience. Kelly Baker, mother of Faith Baker, said “I have only heard amazing and funny stories from my daughter since her return from this trip.” Kelly Baker added “I am so grateful for Richard [Wruth] and all the other great people involved for giving my
daughter this opportunity and for providing an experience she will carry with her for the rest of her life.” Kelly Bakers sentiments were shared by virtually everyone else in the group with children and parents alike espousing their gratitude for Wruth and his efforts to bring this fantasy in to fruition. “Thanks to Richard for dreaming big,” said Lynnette Delisle, a VCT parent. “How lucky we are as a community to have someone in it that is such a role model for our children!” It was certainly a memorable experience for everyone involved. “Seeing the faces of the
kids and adult the moment we arrived was a moment I will never forget,” Wruth said of the experience. Wruth and VCT don’t intend this to be
a one time thing, both Wruth and the rest of his VCT compatriots are already beginning to plan for next years excursion. They better start fundraising now.

Don’t get burnt, protect your home from fire Jesse Cole Omineca Express As the smokey horizon will attest, there are more than three dozen wildfires currently burning throughout British Columbia, with some as close a Cluculz Lake. Fires have only been emboldened has by high temperatures and dry conditions. The weather and low precipitation have led to an extreme fire risk rating, openfire prohibitions and what is essentially a recipe for disaster. With the risk of fire so high and some fast-burning wildfires encroaching on our doorsteps, it is vital to be aware of how you can protect yourself and your home from fire damage and help reduce the risk of starting fires around your home and community. Karen Hopkins-Lee is the chief underwriter with Canadian Direct Insurance, a British Columbia based insurance company that specializes in home and automotive insurance. Hopkins-Lee says it’s important to be prepared for the worst in situations like this, and personal
safety comes first. “Have an evacuation plan. Create an evacuation kit with valuables ready to go in case an evacuation is called,” she says. “Include some important documents concerning your home,” Hopkins-Lee says. “Perhaps include some photos of the home… these are very valuable when dealing with an insurance company.” Aside from just being prepared for an emergency scenario, Hopkins-Lee says that there are a plethora of ways home owners can reduce the risk of fires near their home, many of which can lower insurance premiums. “It’s part of home maintenance when you live in a forested area,” Hopkins-Lee says. She suggests pruning trees around your home and clearing debris from a 10-metre radius around your home. Switching landscaping materials can also help to reduce risk. “We all love using mulch in our gardens,” Hopkins-Lee says. “But instead of using a flammable pine needle or bark mulch, consider rock mulch that won’t catch fire.” Flammable materials and tools like a propane canister or gasoline
tank should be stored a safe distance from your home. If you’re a handy-man or building your own home, there are some options you may consider adding to your home that will reduce insurance premiums and reduce risk. Installing rooftop sprinkler systems will reduce your insurance premium and can also stop a fire before too much damage is done. Spark arrester’s on chimney’s can help to prevent hit ash and embers from floating into the atmosphere and potentially causing a wildfire in the surrounding area. This also comes with an insurance discount. Other building materials like fire resistant side-panelling and roofing will also help to mitigate fire danger and improve the value of your home. With increased risk of fire Hopkins-Lee says it’s an important time to check your policy and make sure you have adequate coverage. “Tragedies aren’t limited to homeowners,” she says. “If you’re renting, the contents of your apartment or condominiums could be affected too.”

Progressive Employment Services An action plan for the labour market Just one of the many valuable services provided by Progressive Employment Services supports both job seekers and employers in a new and innovative way. Workers On Call is an enhanced service designed to help connect employers with workers for short-term assignments. Shelley Froese, Workers On Call coordinator, acts as a liaison between employers and clients saving employers time and money by giving them access to an existing database of workers. Clients submit their resume and sign a consent form allowing potential employers to view their information. When employers have a short-term employment need they simply submit a Worker Request Form giving details such as position,
duration, qualifications, pay, equipment required, etc. The coordinator then shares resumes that meet the required qualifications with the employer and provides any assistance needed to help make the match. Finding an appropriate candidate, the employer may proceed to make the hire. Once the short-term employment is finished, the coordinator follows up with the employer to gather feedback and continues to make periodic contact with the clients to ensure that they are still available for work and that their resumes are up to date. Call 250-567-5785 (toll free at 866-567-7375) or stop into our office at 139 First Street East, Vanderhoof for more information or to see how the Worker’s on Call program could help you!

B.C. back in black, deep in debt VICTORIA – When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign. Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan. “It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said thenleader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more. Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.” As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year. Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce. Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is. But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus. The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann megaproject, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures. “We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said. “Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history The Omineca Express is published every Wednesday in Vanderhoof by Black Press Ltd.

of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the
Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family
silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Whats It’s Like:
To go play golf for the first time Rebecca Watson Caledonia Courier Hearing the sound of a golf ball and golf club connect is exhilarating. You see the ball race through the sky and now you know your that much closer to the hole. It’s the instant gratification that drives you to do better the next time. I can’t wait to hit it again and see how much farther I can go! Until now, mini putt and video games have been the closest thing to golf that I’ve ever tried. One would think living in Ontario I would have taken advantage of all the courses at my disposal. I think the fact I can’t swing a baseball bat to save my life has played a vital role in keeping me away from any sport where hitting the ball with a stick is involved. Now I know, all I had to do is be a little more patient. Our cart pulled up to the first of nine holes at the Stuart Lake Golf Course. I’ll admit I had no idea where to start. Bev Playfair, who has been golfing over 15 years, agreed to take me out and give me the rundown. She handed me a ball and told me to remember exactly what it looks like. Easy enough. She then handed me a tee, and told me to pick my club. Wow, there are so many. Woods and irons and putters, oh my. Bev calmly explained each club’s purpose and it made sense. The big one, or wood, is to hit far, the solid metal ones or irons are also to hit long but with more accuracy, the wedge is for short distance, the chipper is to chip and the putter is to putt. Ok I think I got it. I chose my wood and then stood back to watch Bev
take her shot. Wham. The ball launched more than half way to the flag. She made it look easy so I eagerly tried only to swing-and-miss, swing-and-miss and swing-and-miss. “Keep your arms straight, and bend your knees slightly. Move forward just a tad and when you swing feel the follow through,” said Bev. I stepped back to take a practise shot and ‘swish’, the club swept perfectly through the grass. “Good now do it again but hit the ball,” said Bev. I stepped forward, now with my knees bent, arms straight. I raised the club, swing, follow through, and I hit it! “That was great distance, even if it is off the green a bit. Most people don’t get it that far on their first try,” said Bev. Now I know why I had to remember what the ball looked like. Bev and I continued through the course and I did surprisingly well. About three-to-one to Bev. For those who know the course, I proved to be a quick learner on hole three where I hit on my first try missing all the brush and obstacles. Felt good to know many folks don’t always make that one as clean a shot. By hole four I realized the need for golf gloves and by hole nine I was feeling the heat. Although we didn’t keep tab I definitely won that day. Not by score but by trying something new that I had always been afraid to. Now that I know what I am capable of, perhaps I will be golfing more often. Thanks to Bev Playfair who was a patient and humbling teacher, and to Dave Burgess for pushing me to try.

Review of Encorp Pacific’s Return-it new work Encorp Pacific president gives presentation to the regional district regarding Encorp’s Return-It program in the area
Bottle return depots in the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) have exceeded the minimum requirements of the recycling regulations in the stewardship plan signed by Encorp Pacific (Canada). According to president and chief operating executive of Encorp Pacific (Canada), Scott Fraser, who gave a presentation at the RDBN board of directors meeting last Thursday, the RDBN is on par with the average of the province, ahead of regions, such as Metro Vancouver. There are six return depots in the regional district, located in Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Burns Lake, Houston and Smithers, and collectively the recovery rate for the six facilities is 80.1 per cent, above the 75 per cent minimum requirement. The recovery rate is calculated from the percentage of returns of plastic, aluminum, glass, paperboard and other recyclable materials from across the region. The Northern region, which includes the RDBN, of Encorp accounted for eight per cent of total volume collected in 2013, and the regional district itself accounted for one per cent of the total volume collected in 2013. Throughout the province in 2013, Encorp’s 172 independently owned depots, along with its locations in over 350 grocery stores and over 200 B.C. liquor stores collected over one billion containers. That equates to a total of 95,000 metric tonnes of beverage containers plus an additional 25,000 tonnes of electronics. Of the six depots in the RDBN, four, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Houston and Smithers, accept electronics for recycling at their depots, along with beverage containers. Locations in Vanderhoof and Fort St. James only accept beverage
containers at the moment. Encorp Pacific (Canada) is part of the Stewardship Agencies of B.C., a 16 member agency that works collectively to ensure B.C.’s Extended Producer Responsibility model is successful and cost effective. Other members include, Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) and the Canadian Battery Association. While Encorp’s program has been successful in the regional district, there were concerns raised by a couple of directors. Vanderhoof mayor, Gerry Thiessen was concerned that minimum standards at the return depot in his community weren’t being met, specifically hours of operation. “I’ve been told when it comes to this contract that it’s so tight you can’t get out of it,” Thiessen said, “Yet when it comes to minimum standards there doesn’t seem to be a meeting spot.” “The people of Vanderhoof would like to be able to know what level to expect, people are frustrated they pack up their bottles and then the
“The people of Vanderhoof would like to be able to know what level to expect, people are frustrated they pack up their bottles and then the bottle depot is closed.” - Mayor Gerry Thiessen bottle depot is closed.” Unfortunately for Thiessen and his community minimum standards were not written into the original contract with the depot in Vanderhoof. “Standards have become higher over the years, but we don’t have a tool to retroactively apply them, so it has be persuasion from all sides and that’s what we can continue to work with,” Fraser said, “We’ve looked at every angle on it, there is no legal action we can take.” Likewise, the mayor of Smithers, Taylor Bachrach was concerned about the curb side pick up now being conducted in his community by Multi Materials B.C. Beverage containers that are thrown into
the MMBC containers are considered contaminated and are unable to be picked out of the container. It’s causing the owner of the depot to lose money, while it allows MMBC to profit off of those losses. “They’ve been taught that beverage containers are recyclables and we just gave them these huge recycling bins with a recycling symbol on the side and they’re hulking their recyclable containers in the bin and then that counts against us because they’re considered contamination [for MMBC recyclables] and we’re not allowed to take them out,” Bachrach said, “How are we going to fix that problem?” Bachrach suggested

that his community could attach a smaller container or bag to the larger MMBC ones where his community members could throw their beverage containers. Fraser agreed that an idea like that would be practical. “I really like that idea,” Fraser said, “I would double check the contract but I believe MMBC takes control of the materials when it’s in the blue box, so if there’s a separate system for beverage containers as long as they’re not in the blue box I don’t believe there’s an issue.”

Eating Healthy on a Budget Some other food tips: for healthy living 1. Smaller portions, and more frequent, feeds you, gives you energy, and prevent overeating, many people are surprised at how much less they eat in a day 2. Replace dessert with fruit (prepping coming in handy here) or at least use fruit in your dessert.. if you are having ice cream, pop on some freshly cut fruit, peaches, berries and more 3. Slow down – when it comes to eating some people have the ‘hoover’ mentality.. suck it back and let it digest.. but really.. breathing should not be optional during mealtimes, take a break, relax, eat slowly, have a conversation with other people, count how many times you chew.. just take your time and you are more likely to ‘fee; full’ before you finish eating, at which point pack it up for later. This method makes great family time around a meal, and also really provides you with ample food without the excess which will get stored in fat.

Top: Texas 4000 riders in their morning dedication circle. Bottom: Rachel Madison, cyclist. Jesse Cole Omineca Express “You bond more with people through pain,” - Courtney Schutze, Texas 4000 rider. If that’s the case then the Texas 4000 riders who rode through Vanderhoof on Thursday, July 17 are blood brothers (and sisters). The Texas 4000 is a cancer awareness charity that raises money for cancer research as they peddle their way from Austin, TX to Anchorage, Alaska. The trip is over 6,000 kilometres and takes a total of 70 days to complete. Riders stopping in Vanderhoof have been on the road for 48 consecutive days. “the experience has been nothing like I had expected - nothing like anyone expected,” said Courtney Schutze, one of the 79 Texas 4000 cyclists. The Texas 4000 is an 11 year old program based out of the University of Texas at Austin. Started by alumnus Chris Condit, a cancer survivor himself, the Texas 4000 has seen 400 students participate in the ride with a collective odometer of more than 3 million kilometres. The charity has raised more than $4 million towards cancer research through fundraising and donations to their cause. Prior to making the trip, Schutze says riders
undergo 18 months of intensive training to be physically and mentally prepared for the two and a half month bicycle ride. Schutze said the experience has been incredibly difficult but rewarding saying “No one can prepare you for what it will be like emotionally and physically to bike for 48 days straight and eventually 70 days straight. Its been the most rewarding and healing experience that I’ve ever had before and I think I can speak on behalf of a lot of my teammates that its been extremely bonding. You bond more with people through pain than anything I think and we’ve definitely had that experience.” The teams bond is apparent in their morning ritual of coming together to hold a “dedication circle” where riders share personal accounts of the damage done by cancer and are able to dedicate their ride that day to someone important they may have lost or who is still fighting the illness. Throughout their journey, cyclists stop at various communities fundraising and meeting with cancer survivors, patients and caregivers in the communities. The Texas 4000 executive director Jen Garza said in a press release, “it’s incredibly encouraging for the riders to be supported by the people of Vanderhoof and to have the opportunity to

Vanderhoof track stars brave heatwave, compete in B.C. championships Jesse Cole Omineca Express Vanderhoof’s local track and field athletes Emma Floris and Alexander Nemethy are at it once again, this time competing in the British Columbia track and field championships in Kamloops, B.C. last week. Nemethy competed in a number of events including the 3000, 2000 and 800 metre races where he came in fourth, fifth and 12, respectively. Nemethy also competed in an event known as the steeple chase, an event that involves jumping hurdles and a water-pit while running around the track. Nemethy says this track meet differed from other meets because it was the British Columbia championships, “there was a lot of competition in Kamloops.” Heat on the day of the event was a staggering 40 degrees says Nemethy which made the event significantly more difficult for athletes not used to such temperatures. “It was 40 degrees when I ran my 800-metre race, which
made it really difficult,” says Nemethy. In terms of performance Nemethy said the outcome was less than he had hoped but that he was happy with his placing. “This one wasn’t too good for me - I was hoping to do a bit better,” he says. “It didn’t help that it was so hot, and I think that really wore me down. It’s much different and a lot tougher with that kind of heat. I did place well but my time was a bit slower than I had hoped for.” Nemethy is intending to compete in the track and field youth nationals taking place in Langley, B.C. in the coming weeks. Fellow track star Emma Floris also placed well coming in seventh place in the 100-metre race with a time of 13.01 seconds and fifth in the 200-metre race with a time of 26.32 seconds, a personal best for Floris. Floris competed in the long jump category, placing 11 in the category with a jump measuring 4.48 metres. Floris did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the Omineca Express

Omineca Express Vanderhoof’s third annual concert in the park became the towns first annual concert in the arena this year when wildfire smoke and rainy weather conditions forced the yearly music showcase to relocate to a more audience friendly location. Despite unpredictable weather and a change of venue, the concert was a success bringing out 150 or more people to the Vanderhoof arena. The concert opened its stage to an open mic at 3 p.m. and those who funnelled into the arena were privy to an array of vendors selling everything from homemade bannock (plain, cinnamon and glutenfree options were available) to tye dye clothing and homemade fashion accessory. The event set up a community barbecue that sold hotdogs, sausages and hamburgers to any concert-goers whose tummies started to rumble. The stage was graced by a plethora of acts, one of which was hometown heroes Rosewood Diaries. Rosewood Diaries which consists of Gregory Ventin, Raymond Schlamp, Katie Scheffers, Wes Neufeld, Allan Trampuh and Jerry Wall, played the opening act of the concerts main feature line up. A recent feature on CBC, who used their song as a theme song to the CBC show Daybreak North, played a number of songs from both of their studio albums as well as playing a number of audience pleasing covers such as the crowd favourite “Wagon Wheel.” The band was received with warmth and approval from their Vanderhoof kinfolk, who sang along to the music and whose kids got up to dance, forming a juvenile mosh pit of toddlers dancing freely to the music. The event was a success for the third year in a row and closed its doors around 10 p.m.

Heatwave and smoke heighten health risks in area Jesse Cole Omineca Express With wildfires burning throughout the region and a heatwave in effective for essentially all of British Columbia and parts of Alberta, adverse health effects are a growing concern, particularly amongst the regions older or health-compromised community. Dr. William Osei, the medical health officer with Northern Health, spoke to media early last week to discuss some of the dangers and solutions to dealing with the heat and smoke wafting it’s way through the interior. “Life will go on,” Dr. Osei said. “We’re not shutting down the north.” Dr. Osei made it clear that all adverse health ef-
fects from the current conditions are completely preventable if the right measures are taken. “…you’ve got to listen to your body and know your limits,” he said. “we’re telling people to exercise in moderation, go somewhere cool - continue life but listen to your body.” Most precautions are common sense. “If you’re too hot, don’t wait too long, get water and move to a cooler place”, said Dr. Osei. Heat stroke can occur when there are hot temperatures prolonged for a long period of time or when the humidex nears 40 degrees. For those who do not have access to air conditioning, Dr. Osei suggests going to a mall or another air conditioned building. If this is not an option, taking cool showers can help to lower your internal temperature.
Symptoms of heat stroke include nausea, headache, fatigue and muscle weakness, among others. If affected by the heat, resting in a cool room and drinking cool drinks like water and fruit juices are recommended. In severe cases a trip to the emergency room can be vital. To avoid giving yourself heat stroke, Northern Health has recommended that people limit their exercise and exercise before or after mid day, when the temperature is at its highest. Dr. Osei said that during this time the people most at risk are young children and the elderly as well as those with compromised health or chronic illnesses such as diabetes, lung disease or heart disease. “We’re asking neighbours to check in on vulnerable people and to assist them,” said Dr. Osei.
Evacuation called for part of Bulkley-Nechako region Jesse Cole Omineca Express A state of emergency was called for certain areas of the Bulkley-Nechako region and remains in effect for some areas. On July 16, around 1:30 p.m. evacuation alerts were issued
from the office of Bill Miller, the regional chair for the district of Bulkley-Nechako. Those areas which were put on alert advised residents to be prepared to evacuate homes and livestock should the wildfire increase in size or severity.
Press releases from the Prince George Fire Centre (PGFC) suggested that all residents in affected areas prepare by making sure important items and valuables like medication, legal documents and personal belongings are gathered in one place
and ready for prompt evacuation. PGFC also recommended that those in affected areas move pets and livestock to safe areas as well as preparing any disabled persons or children to be moved. The areas initially affected included the
rural Fraser Lake area, however on July 19, the state of emergency and evacuation alert was rescinded by the office of Bill Miller for those areas. In other locations, such as rural Ootsa Lake, alerts have been upgraded from an evacuation alert to an
evacuation order. Evacuation orders were put in place for the north-eastern half of Tetachuck Lake, from the north bank of Uchu Reach to the Nechako-Bulkley electoral district ‘E’ (Francois/Ootsa Lake Rural). Residents were ad-
vised to leave the area immediately and ordered to close all windows and doors, shut off all gas and electricity, gather all critical items and gather family and pets. Transportation assistance is available through the regional district office.

COPPING, Shirley Emily
(nee Hunter) 1921-2014 With family by her side, after a very long life and a very short illness, Shirley passed on. Born in Silverton BC in 1921, Shirley was predeceased by all of her siblings (Helen, Buzz, Dorothy) and her husband (Norman). Survived by her daughter Anne Marie Kirby, son-in-law Russell, and her beloved grandchildren, Emerson and Olivia. After graduating from Business College in New Westminster, she went on to work for the BC Forest Service, BC Electric, and the House of Commons before a long career with the School District in Vanderhoof, BC. Shirley also attained the rank of Flying Officer with the Intelligence arm of the R.C.A.F., discharging in 1949. Shirley also spent many years on village council while in Vanderhoof. Shirley retired to Kelowna in 1990, joined by the rest of her family in 1995. She was kind, accepting and brilliantly witty. She enriched the lives of everyone she ever touched, and will be missed by all. Special thanks to the Saints of Cottonwoods “B� for all their help, patience and love these past years. A memorial of Love and Life to be held on Friday July 25 at 5 PM at Springfield Funeral home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A private interment will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Salvation Army: 1480 Sutherland Ave, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5Y5.
