Consultation sheds light on farmland changes

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery? Should energy co-generation be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide? These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government’s consultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified non-farm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission. Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring. The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development pressure are lower. One question asks whether farmland in all of Zone 2 should be able to be subdivided down to a minimum of a quarter section (65 hectares) without application to the ALC, as is now allowed in

the Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts in northeast B.C. Another proposal is to allow subdivision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size. The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest. Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural land base. Public input is being accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a background paper are available online at www.engage.gov.bc.ca/ landreserve, where submissions can be made. Comments can also be made by email to ALCA_feedback@gov.bc.ca or by Canada Post to ALR Regulation Consultation, P.O. Box 9120, Stn. Provincial Government, Victoria B.C. V8W 9B4.

Smoke‐free housing – a smoking’ hot issue?

“Yes,” say smoke‐free housing advocates, including the BC Lung Association (BCLA), the Heart and Stroke Foundation of British Columbia & Yukon (HSFBCY), which are supported by the Condominium H o m e o w n e r s Association (CHA) and Landlord BC (LBC). They are eager to see more multi‐unit property owners and managers implementing 100 per cent smoke‐free policies. Fuelling the issue is that more and more British Columbians are living in multi‐unit housing, whether for reasons of affordability, down‐sizing or personal choice. More than 45 per cent of British Columbians live in apartments and condos and second‐ hand smoke is a big problem. “People today are less tolerant of smoking and more conscious of the importance of breathing clean air,” says Jack

Boomer, BCLA and HSFBCY consultant. “B.C. families want to live in healthier, smoke‐ free environments, but for those who live in apartments and condos, 100 per cent smoke‐free options are scarce.” Even if smoking is restricted to a person’s apartment, the smoke easily travels through ventilation systems, electrical outlets, under doors and through open windows into the surrounding units. While B.C. already has laws that regulate smoking in workplaces, public places and residential building common areas, these laws do not apply to people’s private spaces. Despite the fact that no‐smoking policies and bylaws are legal in B.C., few buildings have opted in. The BCLA and the HSFBCY are keen to move the issue forward, particularly given the increasing number of weekly complaints they receive from residents

who feel helpless about smoke entering their homes from neighbouring units. Complaints tend to spike during the summer months when more people are spending time outdoors and more people are smoking on their balconies. A 2013 Angus Reid survey of residents living in BC condos and apartments found that one‐half had experienced second‐hand smoke entering their homes from neighbouring units. The same survey confirmed the majority would prefer to live in a 100 per cent smoke‐free building. Given the short supply of smoke‐free housing options in B.C., the BCLA Association and the HSFBCY are working with leading stakeholders in the multi‐housing sector to

educate housing providers on the benefits of going smoke‐free, highlight the success of those who already have – and encourage others

When Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) first got together, their romantic connection was intense - but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide - why not? - to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea - until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world... but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they’ll never forget, they’ll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for. • Comedy • Rated 18A • Parents: Offensive language, nudity, sexual content • Length 1:30

New licencing plan announced

Five-year guide outfitter licences introduced by province

Gaven Crites Free Press

The government of British Columbia has red tape in its crosshair. A new five-year guide outfitter licence plan, meant to save time and paperwork, has been announced by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. While the one-year licensing option, which costs $500, remains available for hunting guides, the fiveyear licence is set at $2,000 - $500 less than if five consecutive one-year terms were purchased. “The Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia is pleased to see government offer fiveyear guide outfitter licences,” executive director Scott Ellis states in a news release. “This ‘red tape’ reduction is a win for government and the guide-outfitting industry. It will help foster a healthy business environment for our fami-

ly-run, guide outfitting businesses, and it is another step towards improving business confidence and investor certainty for our sector.” Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, states in the same release the change eases the “regulatory burden” for outfitters, “so they can focus more on what they do best - giving people a world-class outdoor experience.” Deep in Peace River country last fall, local resident Todd Nichol guided a hunter from Texas who bagged the biggest moose in B.C. on a guided a hunt in the 2013 season. Nichol says the five-year scheme is good, but it’s a lot of money up front. “I think that’s going to discourage a lot of guides.” The government states there are approximately 245 licensed guide outfitters in the province, which employ more than 2,000 people, and the guide-outfitting industry brings an estimated $116 million to the province each year

Barkerville hosts inaugural Aboriginal Celebration

Visitors, participants enjoyed singing, drumming and dancing On July 12, nearly 700 visitors to Barkerville Historic Town were treated to the traditional sights and sounds of British Columbia’s Central Interior First Nations communities during the National Historic Site’s inaugural Aboriginal Celebration. The event, which was a collaboration between the Barkerville Heritage Trust and both the Xatśūll and the Lhtako Dene First Nations (on whose shared traditional territory Barkerville rests) drew a healthy number of first-time and repeat visitors to Barkerville, including representatives from Aboriginal communities as far away as Lillooet and Prince George. The festivities kicked

off first thing in the morning with an allday presentation of Barkerville photographer C.D. Hoy’s collection of First Nations portraits from the turn of the 20thcentury, and screenings of Wilds to Riches: a Cariboo Gold Rush Documentary, and Canyon War: The Untold Story. At 11:45 a.m., a gathering of Barkerville’s costumed historical interpreters and members of several B.C. First Nations communities paraded up the main street of town before settling in at the Kerr’s Phoenix Brewery stage for an official welcome. The opening ceremony began with a traditional blessing from Williams Lake resident Richard Duncan, as well as remarks from Barkerville Heritage Trust chair John Massier and Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association director and New Pathways

Duncan then led the gathered crowd in a rousing and uplifting series of song and drumming demonstrations before turning the stage over to the Lhtako

Dene Hoop Dancers from Quesnel. Despite temperatures of nearly 35 C, the performers delivered outstanding dance, drum, and song presentations throughout the afternoon, and the day rounded off nicely with traditional games for children and hoop dance lessons for everyone. “Although our intent was to start small and later build upon the successes we were sure to have this season, our event organizers were particularly pleased by the number of guests who came out to celebrate with us in our inaugural year,” says James Douglas, Barkerville’s Manager of Visitor Experiences. “It is our sincere hope that with the

Dame’s Rocket wreaks havoc

Often sold in “wild flower” mixes, this pretty little invasive plant is escaping cultivation and taking over woodlands and forest edges. Dame’s Rocket is native to Eurasia and was brought to North America as a garden ornamental. This plant is also referred to as Dame’s Violet, Sweet Rocket and Mother-ofthe-Evening. Dame’s Rocket is often confused with Phlox, which looks similar but has five petals and some differences in the leaves as well. Dame’s Rocket is a biennial or a short-lived perennial that develops

as a rosette in its first year and will flower in its second spring/summer. The leaves of a Dame’s Rocket plant can grow up to 10 centimetres in length and 4cm in width and will have a lance-shaped appearance with hairs on the top and the bottom, giving them a rough feel. The flowers vary in colour and can be purple, pink as well as white, with the most common being purple and lavender. The flow-

ers have four petals and are extremely fragrant; the fragrance becomes even more noticeable towards the evening. The more cultivated varieties can be mixed colours with double flowered forms. Dame’s Rocket is an abundant seed producer and can produce up to 20,000 seeds per plant. It wreaks havoc on the natural environment by out competing

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it may be tempting to set aside responsibilities in favor of more exciting experiences. But the real opportunities for adventure come from making commitments and goals. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may finally be ready to express feelings that you have been keeping to yourself. If you are worried about how others will respond, don’t be. You have accepting friends. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, do not deny yourself some pleasure, especially if you have been putting in a lot of work and effort to attain your goals. Enjoy a little down time when you can. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cherish your time with friends and family this week, spending as many free moments with them as possible. In the coming days, carve out some alone time for yourself. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are no stranger to meeting other people’s demands, but you need to be very firm about what you want right now. Work with others but make your opinions known as well. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your intensity helps you get through some difficult projects in the weeks ahead. Be sure to make some time for rest and relaxation once your projects are finished.

Ladies inter-club golf matches underway

Thirty-four golfers reported for a 108 Ladies Club round at the 108 Golf Resort on July 22. Judy Scarrow and Joanne Garrow scored birdies. In the first flight, Heather Matsuda shot closest to the pin on No. 10 and hit the longest drive on No. 18. Gloria Corno shot closest to the pin on No. 15 in the second flight, while Lori Henderson hit furthest on No. 13. Sharlene Anderson fired closest to the pin on No. 12 in the third flight and Norma Haggard cranked the

longest ball on No. 11. “We had a good turn out to enjoy the great weather,” says 108 Ladies member Sharon Claassen. “The wine challenge was ‘earring bling’, and we had some ‘bling’. Next week’s challenge will be ‘hydration fun’. I can’t imagine what that will bring.” Cathy Waite (43) scored low gross through nine holes in the first flight. Scarrow (48) was second. Maureen Menzies (35) and Garrow (38) were lowest net golfers. The second flight saw Leslie Bell (51) and Carol Lidstone (52)

Invasive plants can threaten biodiversity

From 7

native plants and in turn threatens the biodiversity in some areas. At the edges of woodlands, Dame’s Rocket will inhibit the germination of tree seedlings, preventing further forest growth. It is important to prevent further spread of this invasive plant, and to prevent its establishment in the first place. Be sure you know the names of the plants that are in any wild flower mixes that you are thinking of purchasing and ensuring that they are all native to your area. Once this plant has rooted itself in your area, it is important to care for it in a manner that is not going to cause further spread.

Smaller infestations can be manually pulled while large infestations should be clipped not pulled as this will disturb the soil and create prime growing area for any new germinated seeds. Make sure to bag the plant material and any seeds in heavy plastic bags and take to designated invasive plant bins at the Williams Lake, 100 Mile House or Quesnel landfills. If you have any questions or concerns about Dame’s Rocket, or need assistance in identification or management, please contact the Cariboo Regional District’s Invasive Plant Management team tollfree at 1-800-665-1636, or visit our website at cariboord.ca.

shoot low gross. Corno (37) and Shirley Boyson (39) shot low net. Carol Plautz (53) and Wendy Foster (58) shot low gross and Bonnie McColl (39) and Angela Batahla (41) scored low net in the third flight. The 108 Ladies Club is also participating in inter-club matches with the ladies clubs from Williams Lake and Quesnel, Claassen explains. “The first match was held at the 108 Golf Resort and the 108 Ladies won.” The next match was set in Quesnel July 28 (after press time) and the last will be held in Williams Lake on Aug 11. “The ladies from Williams Lake have held the title for several years and the ladies at the 108 are leading the race in 2014 and would love to take the title away this year.”

Learning the ropes

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

It seems that tablet devices like the iPad are being introduced to children at earlier ages all the time. Experts believe this can be a good thing for children even those younger than two years old and as long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device.

HOT! HOT! SUMMER SALE

Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a home-made ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection. Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are, however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use. Your doctor is the best judge of what is right for you. Do you have questions about something you see in the media? Check with our pharmacists. We can put things into perspective for you.
