A ruling handed down Wednes-day on B.C.’s timber pricing policies is being hailed as a victory on this side of the border.

The London Court of International Arbitration ruled that the province’s timber pricing policies are consistent with the Softwood Lumber Agree-ment, which was signed in 2006.

“This is a total victory for British Columbia and Canada and is great news for B.C.’s lumber workers and their families,” said Pat Bell, minis-ter of jobs, tourism, and innovation, in a press release. “Our government has worked hard to defend and create jobs for British Columbians and to demonstrate that the U.S.’s complaints were unwarranted and groundless.”

A 2011 complaint filed by the U.S. alleged that B.C. was selling soft-wood at less than market value, given an increase in the harvest of low-grade timber.

The increased amount of low-grade timber in B.C. is the result of the unprecedented and devastating mountain pine beetle infestation. B.C.’s auction-based pricing system ensures that the full value of timber has been captured by government, said Bell.

“We are extremely pleased with the panel’s decision dismissing all of the United States’ claims in their entirety,” said John Allan, president, B.C. Lumber Trade Council. “The arbitration process was lengthy and thorough and the outcome dem-

onstrates that the B.C. timber pric-ing system is not in breach of the Softwood Lumber Agreement as the U.S. had claimed.”

B.C. and Canada have maintained it would have been far more produc-tive for the U.S. lumber industry to join them to increase demand for wood products across North America, such as what B.C. is doing with its Wood First initiative.

In the meantime, British Columbia has diversified its lumber export markets during the arbitration period. B.C. has focused on devel-oping Asian markets, experiencing tremendous growth in recent years. For example, B.C. has more than doubled its lumber exports to China each of the past three years, said Bell.

B.C. will continue to support the Softwood Lumber Agreement to create a predictable trade environ-ment and to provide stability and certainty to producers and consum-ers on both sides of the border. Can-ada has signed an extension to the agreement to October 2015.

The London Court of International Arbitration Tribunal was a three-person panel presided over by Dr. Klaus Sachs. Canada appointed Pro-fessor Albert Jan van den Berg and the United States appointed Mr. V. V. Veeder. The decision dismissing the U.S. claims was unanimous.

The 131-page final award will be released in public form in about 10 days.

So far it’s been a good year for the city.

Initiatives Prince George deliv-ered some positive statistics dur-ing its biannual report to council at Monday’s meeting.

The organization’s CEO, Heather Oland, said employ-ment is up across all the sectors, there has been a 90 per cent increase in building permits with a healthy split between commer-cial and industrial, there was a 6.6 increase in airport passen-gers, housing starts are up 16.4

per cent and the average home price is up 1.2 per cent.

This, Oland said, suggests a population increase, something she discussed with a local realty company.

Oland said she posed several questions, among them asking whether or not the buyers are from out-of-town or are rent-ers who’ve decided to purchase a home. If from another city, where?

She added these question will help IPG target their markets bet-ter. For example, if people from a particular area are moving to the city, then perhaps IPG can

spend its marketing dollars with even greater efficiency, encourag-ing more people to move here by selling the city aggressively in that area.

She added plans are in place to gather that information and more from realtors so IPG can utilize the statistics.

The presentation Oland pre-sented included information regarding how best to show numerically the impact of the work IPG does to benefit the city.

The request for IPG to work on finding a way to do so was made at a previous council meeting.

After researching how it is done in several other organizations in Canada and the U.S., they found there is no standard template for economic development metrics.

IPG will work toward setting up its own template for a report-ing procedure.

“We’ll report the numbers back at the end of the year and find out if it effectively tells you the story you need to hear,” Oland said.

Oland also spoke about the progress being achieved within the organization’s five interlock-ing business plan strategies.

Ensuring there is a focus on the

needs of Prince George within the higher levels of government when it comes to dealing with the skilled labour shortage in the north is just one of the goals of IPG. Increasing the population, and therefore the city’s tax base was also discussed as was creat-ing investor response packages in order to quickly provide all infor-mation potential investors need.

One of the recent successes of IPG is a 12-page spread on the city in BC Business magazine. Prince George has also been pro-filed in Alberta Venture and has an upcoming feature in Western Investor.

Healthy Products for Body, Mind and Soul

Natural Factors Vitamin K2 features vitamin K2 as menaqui-none-7 (MK-7), an advanced, fat-soluble form of vitamin K that serves multiple functions in the body. The K family consists of a trio of vitamins: K1 (phylloquinone), naturally occurring in leafy green vegetables and plant oils; K2 (mena-quinone) present in butter, cows liver, eggs, certain cheeses and natto, a fermented soybean food; and K3, a synthetic form of the vitamin. K3 has been shown to have toxic effects on the liver and K1 doesn’t have adequate benefi ts for calcium metabolism to dramatically improve osteoporosis or atherosclerosis. Only K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to offer 24-hour protection from a single daily dose. Other commercially available subtypes of K2, such as MK-4, only last four to six hours in the body and are required in much larger dosages to be effective.

Vitamin K1 is easy to obtain from green leafy vegetables. The bacteria in our intestines will convert some of that to K2, but not enough to prevent or treat atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. K2 is found in the diet in natto, a fermented soybean food popular in Japan, as well as in butter, meat, egg yolks, and organ meats from animals that are fed grass instead of grain. As grass-fed animal products are rare nowadays and a taste for natto is dif-fi cult to acquire for most Westerners, a vitamin K2 supplement is the best way to ensure you are getting an optimal daily dose of this important nutrient.

Researchers worldwide are only beginning to uncover the many essential roles that vitamin K2 plays in our health. Our growing understanding of this nutrient is rapidly redefi ning cardiovascular disease as an illness of nutritional defi ciency. In addition, a vita-min K2 defi ciency appears to be an underlying factor in the de-velopment of diabetes and liver cancer. Vitamin K2 also plays an essential role in bone metabolism and promoting healthy teeth. For most people, diet alone will not help them meet their daily re-quirement of vitamin K2. Daily use of Natural Factors Vitamin K2 makes it easy to get optimum levels of this important nutrient.

VITAMIN K2 and the CALCIUM PARADOX by Dr.Kate Rheaume-Bleue - While millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements think-ing they’re helping their bones, the truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it’s needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue (like the arteries)—leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atheroscle-rosis, or the dreaded “calcium paradox.” This is the fi rst book to reveal how universal a Vitamin K2 defi ciency is, and the risk (in the form of cancer and diabetes, among other ailments) the absence of Vitamin K2 poses.

Preparations to cel-ebrate the city’s 100th birthday have begun.

Coun. Murry Krause updated council on the bud-ding plans for the event which is being organized by a select committee put

together for that pur-pose.

Krause said pre-sentations on the progress of the select committee will be made before council at strategic points during the planning phases to ensure council knows what the committee is doing and supports

it.“Volunteers are

already coming for-ward,” he added. “We will call on them at an appropriate time during the process.”

He said the com-mittee expects the anniversary to be a year-long celebration with many commu-nity events tying into the theme.

The first challenge of the committee, he said, is to educate city residents about the coming event.

“We acknowledge the first challenge is to educate the com-munity and create momentum moving forward.”

Following the presentation, coun-cil voted to sup-port the two rec-ommendations the committee brought forward, the first to approve plans made thus far by the committee, the second to allocate $6,000 to the com-mittee so it can pro-ceed on phase two of planning for the event.

Phase two of the plan will include seeking publ ic input so the com-mittee knows what the community wants.

Privatizing B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch will have no effect on the price of alcohol.

MLA Margaret Mac-Diarmid, Minister of Labour, Citizen’s Ser-vices and Open Gov-ernment said what the government is plan-ning to do is contract out the services of distributing and ware-housing liquor. This will have no effect on the price of liquor, which will still be set by the government.

A July 1 press release from local NDP candi-dates called for Prince George area MLA’s Shirley Bond and Pat Bell to take a stand against the privatiza-

tion deal, citing issues like a lack of discus-sion with various stakeholders regard-ing the i s s u e . T h e y a l s o cited the involve-ment of two lob-byists in the pro-cess who w e r e both also involved in the BC Rail deal. How-ever neither Bond nor Bell could comment on the issue because MacDiarmid has been appointed by the gov-ernment as the lone spokesperson on the issue.

MacDiarmid said the government is trying

to find a way to save money and thereby benefit taxpayers.

“The drive behind this is to do bet-ter for taxpay-e r s , ” s h e s a i d . “We are t r y i n g to find ways to reduce o v e r -h e a d c o s t s .

That’s the goal.”She said she’s heard

two concerns from the public. The first is the fear prices will jump, which will not happen, she reiterated, since

privatizing liquor dis-tribution will have no affect on the subse-quent cost.

The second is that there will be jobs lost, which is onerous as well, she said.

“On one hand peo-ple said prices will go up, but there’s also a fear of loss of income. Part of reason we’re doing this is to get to a balanced budget. The last thing we’d do is something to reduce government revenue.”

MacDiarmid pointed out last year the gov-ernment garnered a significant amount of funds from the sale of alcohol, money that goes into providing services like health

care and education.Interfering with that

revenue source, she said, is not the point.

“I do believe strongly we will find there is significant savings. If don’t find that, there’s no way we’ll go for-wrd with this.”

MacDiarmid aid she could not speak about the specific lobbyists involved as she’s had no dealings with them since the issue was just referred to her minis-try a short time ago.

The Prince George RCMP are requesting the public’s help in locating a woman wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

On July 1, a warrant for being unlawfully at large was issued for 34-year-old Lindsay Townsend.

The arrest warrant was issued after Townsend failed to return to her des-ignated residence in Prince George.

Townsend has many local contacts and is believed to be in the Prince George area, however some infor-mation suggests that she may be in the Quesnel, Chetwynd or Vanderhoof areas.

Townsend is described as: Caucasian female, 157 cm (5’2”), 77 kg (170 lbs), brown hair, blue eyes, tat-toos include a teardrop on her right upper back, “PRIDE” on her right hand, a butterfly on her neck and two Chinese sym-bols on her right calf.

If located, contact the Prince George RCMP or the police of jurisdiction in your area. Do not confront Townsend, as she should be considered vio-lent. Townsend has a history of property related offences.

If you have any information about Lindsay Townsend or where she might be, please contact the Prince George RCMP at (250)561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-TIPS (8477), online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca, or Text-A-Tip to CRIMES (274637) using keyword “pgtips”.

If we take a good look, every one of us believes in a myth or two. They have been passed on to us by previous generations and others we know. The good ones always sound so believable that we would not think to challenge them.

In the world of diets there are many myths, such as the myth that eating late in the day will add more weight than the food you eat during the day. Dieticians and many studies say that it just isn’t so. Calories are calories, when you consume them makes no dif-ference at all.

The fundamental fact of weight loss is if you consistently burn more calories than you consume, you will shed the pounds. That is why that exercise stuff is so impor-tant.

Depending on which school of thought you fol-low, grazing all day long is better or worse than set meals. The advantage of grazing is that you only eat when you are truly hungry. If you keep disci-pline yourself to small and healthy snack, it works. The biggest problem with grazing is there a large temptation to overgraze and the pound creep on.

Years ago the home treatment of a burn was to rub the burn with butter. Wrong thing to do, it just made a serious problem much worse. The best immediate treatment is to cool the burn area as rap-idly as possible. Most professional kitchens keep a bowel of ice water for that very purpose. Cooling the wound reduces the damage to the injured flesh. At home you are unlikely to have a bowel of ice water handy. Running cold water from the tap will have a similar, if not as effective, result in cooling the wound.

Years ago applying a mustard plaster to the chest was suppose to relive congested breathing brought on by a cold or other problem. All it did was increase the pain and discomfort for the poor suffering person. I had assumed that the mustard plaster myth was dead until I head a young mother praising the treatment. An attempt to convince her

seemed a failure, but perhaps enough doubt was raised for her to check it out with her family doctor.

We used to do all sorts of things with cuts either bad or unhelpful. First action with a minor cut or scrap is to clean the wound with water to remove any foreign material that is where the

potential germs are that have the potential to cause an infection to the wound. If it is s more seri-ous wound, try to control to bleeding, protect the wound with the most sterile material you have and get professional medical assistance as quick as you can. Don’t make treatment of the injury more com-plicated than it need be.

If it is diet and a question of what you should eat then check out the Canada Food Guide and the Dietician of Canada web site.

Take a first level first aid course; it is almost a must for parents. The St Johns’ organization has been teaching how to handle injuries for decades.

Before you use a home treatment that has been passed on to you by Granny, check it out with a medical practitioner. Don’t do something that will make matters worse or even fatal.

There is lots of help out there and it should be uti-lized. Keep you and your loved ones safe and enjoy summer.

Our system allows for businesses and unions to contribute to politicians and political cam-paigns. On the provincial level, there are calls to eliminate that practice. There are no such

calls being made at the municipal level.Should there be?The suggestion is always that those who contribute to

political campaigns and politicians will, perhaps, receive some preferential treatment when the politician is in power.

It’s a tough road for politicians because any decision favourable to a campaign contributor will be perceived as preferential … whether it is or not. In politics, perception is reality.

And, the larger the donation the tougher it is to dismiss the perception. Such is the case this week with the Treasure Cove Casino’s request for council’s support in its bid to quadruple the number of seats it can serve alcohol at.

The casino contributed to the campaign of several politi-cians who now sit around the council table. However, the largest, by far, was to Mayor Shari Green.

The casino and Treasure Cove Hotel contributed a com-bined $14,313 to Green’s campaign … a campaign that cost a whopping $81,000.

Or, to put it another way, the casino paid for almost 18 per cent of Green’s campaign.

Is that right? Many think it isn’t. However, under our current system there is nothing wrong with it. It’s how our system operates.

Was Green in a conflict of interest by voting on the pro-posal? Not according to our current regulations. In fact, making voting on a campaign contributor ’s request before council is fraught with problems.

As Green pointed out, someone could pick and choose who they don’t want to vote on their proposal and contrib-ute to their campaigns.

More likely, though, especially in smaller towns, is a sce-nario whereby one person or business contributes to the campaign of every councillor. If that negated those council-lor ’s from rendering a decision, then council itself would be unable to act.

Do we put a limit on how much of a contribution would constitute the politician being in conflict?

Then we could possibly end up with situation whereby, to use this case as an example, Green might have to declare a conflict because she received a large donation from a supporter while other council members were allowed to remain at the table, even though they had received money from the same contributor, albeit a lesser sum.

That wouldn’t work either.The only real solution is to prohibit corporate and union

donations to political campaigns. After all, aren’t politi-cians supposed to represent the ‘people’ in their constitu-ency?

At the provincial level we are routinely shocked and dis-gusted at the amount of money donated by businesses and unions and the subsequent influence, real or perceived, that they then exert on politicians. There have been many calls to end that monetary pipeline into political cam-paigns.

If we end the practice there, we should also end it at the municipal level.

This year, the BC/Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion celebrated its 86th anniversary with a variety of events during Legion Week, which took place from June 24-30.

Our government provided a community gaming grant of $65,000 to the BC/Yukon Command to allow its Legions to apply for smaller grants to help organize local open houses, educational awareness events, and reach out to potential new members in their communities. In Prince George, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 43 hosted an open house and barbecue. My husband Bill and I were very pleased to attend and enjoyed some great company, good food, and presented a provincial proclamation celebrating Legion Week.

For the past several months, I have been working with veteran’s organizations to

take a closer look at the veteran’s licence plate program and consider expanding the criteria to include currently serving mem-bers of the Canadian Forces. We received input from a number of veteran’s organizations and worked together to make the change. It was great to announce we would now rec-ognize active members of the Canadian Forces in the vet-eran’s licence plate program during Legion Week. It was also an honour putting the first licence plates on the vehi-cles of two currently serving members. I’m sure most of you have seen them before – those distinctive B.C. licence plates adorned with a red poppy. It’s a simple yet incred-ibly meaningful symbol of our gratitude for the sacrifice of the men and women who

serve on our behalf. Legion Week was certainly a success, but

it reminded me of the struggle that Legions across the country are facing. Here in Prince

George, our own Legion’s build-ing has been purchased by a local investment company. In a very generous purchase agree-ment, the Legion is permitted to remain in the current building rent free while it looks for a new home; but the Legion will need

to increase revenue and make a move to a smaller facility. With a demographic con-sisting of mostly veteran status members, Legions face the challenge of attracting younger members and expanding opera-tions and revenue.

One thing is certain though – Royal Cana-dian Legions do incredible work. Whether

it be helping veterans transition from com-bat to civilian life, or helping Canadians remember every year on November 11, the focus of any Legion branch is working to better its community. Good examples include the BC/Yukon Command being the largest non-profit provider of veteran and seniors housing, members volunteering over 600,000 hours, and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes as diverse as bursaries and medical research. When we look at the contributions our Legion mem-bers and veterans make, it seems fitting that they be recognized in special ways like the veteran’s licence plate program.

Expanding the criteria to include current members of the Canadian Forces was an appropriate thing to do and a wonderful way to help highlight and celebrate Legion Week 2012.

Celebrating Legion Week in Canada

Editor:I recently contacted the city

to request new impact mate-rial, i.e. sand, for our neigh-bourhood park to increase the safety of our children that use the park on a regular basis. This is the response I received:

“In response to your con-cern regarding Watrous Park, thank you for forwarding your thoughts. At Parks and Solid Waste, we were actively replac-ing outdated playgrounds at various parks annually until 2010.

This Park was scheduled to be updated in 2010 but due to funding cuts, this program has been suspended.

We are presently replacing dated equipment on a much smaller scale. At the time of these cut-backs, there were three other parks scheduled to be updated prior to Watrous Park.

At this time I cannot give any sort of timeline as to any equip-ment replacement or updating scheduled for Watrous Park. As this is our most busy time of the season, we will not be able to update, replace or refill any of the surface impact material at ANY of our parks.

We currently do not have the resources to attempt this task. We may be able to “Till and Fill” some of our parks later on in the year towards autumn. Thank you for your thoughts and concerns ...”

Really? And city council got a raise and Shari Green got a personal assistant? Really?

I am writing as I am concerned about the condition of the PGYBA Joe Martin field on Balsum Road.

The baseball diamond is in an absolute deplorable condition with broken benches in the dugout, broken glass on the scoreboard, and lit-ter everywhere. The building is in need of a paint job. Some shrubs were planted years ago but they haven’t been looked after, the entryway never gets any attention and the weeds must be four feet high or more.

The playground also needs attention. It seems that all that ever gets done is the grass gets mowed. I have cleaned up two large garbage bags

of litter from this area since the spring and there is just more and more.Quote often the gate is locked during games and practices and vehicles

are forced to park on the street and people just throw their litter on the street. There is no garbage can available to the public at the road.

Is this what we want our citizens and visitors to see when they go to a ball game?

Who is charge of clean up and maintenance? The city, I presume, but should the PGYBA also be involved as they are the users of this facility?

Baseball field needs care

Editor:On June 22, 1985, I was one of several hun-

dred people who boarded Canadian Pacific flight 003 from Vancouver to Nanrita, Japan. The flight left a few minutes late but actually arrived in Japan a few minutes early. A short time after, a bomb in the luggage that was being transferred to other flights exploded, killing four baggage handlers.

Bad as that was, it was minor compared with what was happening over the Atlantic. An Air India jet with 329 people on board exploded.

All were killed making this the largest mass murder in Canadian history.

Thus is was that I testified at the first trial of the bomber, a man from Duncan, B.C.

named Reyat . After too many years, the men allegedly behind the bombing were tried in Vancouver. A Vancouver millionaire, Ripuda-man Singh Malik was found not guilty largely thanks to the perjury of Reyat, the now con-victed bomb maker.

In what I believe is a massive example of unmitigated gall, Malik sued to recover $9.2 million dollars he paid in legal fees during his trial.

It gave me great pleasure that a few days ago, BC Supreme Court Justice Josephson who presided over the trial of Malik denied that request. Malik will have to pay his own legal fees. As the court stated in its judgement, the acquittal of Malik was not because he was proven innocent, but only that the Crown had

not proved the charge beyond a reasonable doubt, in large measure thanks to the perjury of Reyat.

Reyat’s wife had been indirectly supported by Malik after his trial, Reyat’s children paid by his lawyer for supposed legal assistance during that trial, and Reyat’s wife received B.C. welfare while not disclosing other income - the payments from Malik - during the incar-ceration of her husband, the only man ever sentenced for the bombing and murder.

Payment of $9.2 million is little enough pen-alty for this crime. Payment of Malik’s legal fees by taxpayers, including families of victims would have been disgusting.

Ruling on Malik is welcomed

Editor:Reading day in the park was featured in the paper, but I wonder if

those families know the city park standards they have enjoyed over the last two decades are considered dispensable by Mayor Shari Green and her council. Our elected officials have decided to cut city workers, choos-ing to let the parks and gardens become overgrown, unkempt, weed infested patches of raw eyesore. This degradation of our parks, especially Snowdrop Park, allows long grasses and weeds to hide the dangers of needles, broken glasses, drug paraphernalia and other hazards - hazards that will remain in the weeds due to Green’s budget cut decisions. The city has laid off important workers who kept Prince George clean, safe and beautiful.

How can you invite people to Prince George, the pothole, mosquito, and crime capital - now let’s add parks and gardens too? Our ugly, neglected parks were featured on Global BC. The entire province saw what Green and her council’s decisions have done. Now, our city has become the laughing stock of the whole province.

Green is always citing funding shortfalls, yet she continues to tout the

virtues of Initiative Prince George for economic development, at a cost of over $1. 03 million per year. Economic development starts with the basics, with a city that will attract tourists, residents and tax paying businesses and a city with sufficient staffing to provide services to the community. An attractive city will retain its residents, and stop the relocations to the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland - relocation of tax paying residents and senior citizens. A city with well maintained parks, roads, gardens and even mosquito control should be the first phase of economic devel-opment. Yet, all of this work is done by city workers and labourers; the people who have been laid off, and the few remaining facing more cuts from the core review process.

The job cuts to city workers, and the $325,000 core review itself, are just more bad decisions that Green has imposed on the taxpayers of Prince George. Take the IPG funds, the core review funds and the mayor and council travel funds, and apply them directly to the city needs, to the workers who keep this city clean, safe and attractive.

Lamont Stevens laughs – but not too loudly – at the reporter’s suggestion he should write a book one day about his famous father. Indeed, reminiscing in the week after his father’s passing, Lamont talks about both the public persona and personal side of Allan Stevens.

Allan died July 12. Stevens lived in Prince George all his life

and is perhaps best known as a very suc-cessful and forward-thinking mill owner and operator in this area. Like many suc-cess stories, however, Stevens’ began with a few failures (he would call them learn-ing experiences.)

“After trying his hand at farming and having his crops ruined by hail – then buying the Kokanee Lodge in Nelson and having summer vacationers not able to get out of the Fraser Valley because of flood-ing – he was convinced by his brother-in-law and friend Bill Rahn to go into partnership and buy a bankrupt sawmill in Salmon Valley in 1948,” said Lamont.

In 1950, the partners built a new mill just north of Summit Lake. Stevens found he had to use a little common sense and initiative when it came to hiring prac-tises.

“Because mill workers were so diffi-cult to find and keep, they convinced the school district to place a one-room school in the camp site so they could offer employment to married men with chil-dren,” explained Lamont. (His father also later brought in entertainment that other mills didn’t have – a pool table. During the IWA strike in 1953 fellows were more likely to stay in camp – that pool hall got a lot of use.)

History had shown Stevens that mar-ried men were a little more reliable and less inclined to get themselves in trouble.

“I remember as a young boy going with my father, on several occasions, to the local jail at the corner of Third and Brunswick, where he would bail out his workers and get them back on the job,” said Lamont. “Times were very hard back then. Those men lived a harsh life in unheated cabins with no running water and so often they

would go to town on a ‘toot,’ especially after getting their pay checks, and my father would round them up and get them back working.”

Stevens liked talking about “the old days” in Prince George, said Lamont.

“Dad often talked of when Dr. Lyon bought a car, one of a very few in P.G. and he demonstrated how well it could climb the hill that rises to what is now Lyon St. He talked of one of the years that it flooded and he and other kids poled a raft at Third and George.”

This year’s flood concerns left him unfazed.

“He was not too impressed with the concern about flooding. He said we ‘didn’t know what flooding was really like.’ On the north side of First Ave. just west of Victoria St. after the main floods ended, a pool would be left behind and the kids would all swim in it.”

Other stories of father’s recollections of childhood “flood” back.

“My father remembered, as a kid, play-ing on the beached BX and Hammond sternwheelers when they were taken out of service. Dad’s summers in his early teens were spent out in the bush along the Fraser in the Shelley, Longworth, Hutton and as far east as the Tropy River where his father was a contract logger.”

His job was to tally the logs. “He would read the particulate count

(reported today with respect to the air quality downtown) and he would tell me, ‘’In the 20s, you could cut the air with a knife because of all the wood and coal being burned during the winter. It was terrible.’”

Perhaps Stevens’ biggest passion was for baseball.

He loved the game. Among the old pho-tographs Lamont cherishes most is a pic-ture of baseball oldtimers taken in 1985.

“Dad is the catcher kneeling below the bat being held by Dr. McKenzie. They were the Prince George Maroons who played against Quesnel, Wells, Williams Lake, Willow River, Burns Lake – the league changed from year to year. Other notables who played on those teams were Harold Moffat, Ross Goodwin, Danny Palumbo and Doub Struthers, names people may

remember. They also played against tour-ing Black teams that were barred from playing in the States.”

Stevens believed strongly in the work ethnic, values he had even as a young man. He worked for Centralia Dairy and later bought it around 1940. Before the days of pasteurization, he delivered his milk door to door by truck and lived on property on that today is Abhau St. just below his parent’s place on Lyon, north of Spruceland.

“In 1954 Dad and Bill built a new mill at Kerry Lake further north on the Hart Highway – a beautiful millsite. The other millsites were noted for mud and logged over terrain. This one had gravel and a lake and river to enjoy. It was here that Mum and Dad and people they worked

with all made lifelong friends. It was a close knit community where they had their own entertainment – like dancing – before the days of TV.”

In another business venture, Stevens also partnered with Dick Corless to build the McLeod Lake Hotel. Having a hotel meant that he dealt with breweries, so he had another business reason to go to Vancouver every summer – and watch the Vancouver Mounties, a triple A baseball team. They sold the business in 1963.

Stevens retired in 1970 and spent the rest of his life fishing north and west and living on his hobby farm on Ferguson Lake Rd and watching baseball on TV.

“Dad was very competitive, he did not like to lose whether playing cards or catching fish.”

Remembering a logging pioneer


It’s summertime ... and the living ain’t easy. But as they say, ‘If you can’t take the heat, get

out of the kitchen.’ There’s a very simple home remedy for keeping cool. Stop cooking.

Go to the park with a picnic lunch, walk around barefoot in the grass and indulge in a nice cold glass of water with a slice of lemon.

I read that dandy piece of advice, without having to pay for it, in a “women’s” magazine at the check-out stand Monday.

Funny, because I had just remarked to the woman behind me that this heat wave was making me sick. Sick and tired. I have quite literally been dragging myself around all week like a land slug.

I make my way, very, very slowly, – to and from work– under cover of my “shell” on wheels.

Windows rolled down, trying to beat the heat. I do have air conditioning but it’s more costly to use. And I live two blocks from work, so the AC doesn’t have time to come on before I reach my destination.

I don’t have air conditioning at home. My biggest home challenge, therefore, has

been trying to keep enough ice in the ice cube trays and trying to find summer clothes in my closet that aren’t black. I thought briefly about becoming a nudist – just until the heat wave ends. However, I don’t think the other tenants would appreciate me walking down the hall-way to do my laundry in the buff.

Talk about indecent exposure. So I turned to Mother Earth for answers.

After all, she has a pretty big say in how hot – or cold – it gets. And her critters seem to know what to do in a heat wave or a dry spell. So since I felt like a common slug, I wanted to find out what they do to overcome the intense heat and dehydration.

Here is what I found:“The soft, slimy bodies of slugs are prone to

dessication, so land-living slugs are confined to moist environments and must retreat to damp hiding places when the weather is dry.”

I went on Google Earth, I looked everywhere for the best place to keep cool. Now I think I’ve found my perfect “damp hiding place” – and if you need me, that’s where I’ll be. In my bathtub filled with cool water and ice cubes. Really, I think the heat is getting to me.

Test: Please share your new knowledge about HIV with others, and please encourage everyone to get an HIV test.

Share:

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections.

Judy Russell is positively beaming. It’s not the sun. It’s the joy of seeing all

three sons – Jon, Matt and Andrew – with their father Bill Russell, posing for pic-tures backstage Wednesday.

The Russell boys have “signed up” for performing and behind-the-scenes roles in the Mel Brooks’ smash hit musical com-edy, The Producers.

The show runs July 26 to August 4. This is the first time in more than a

decade the entire family has worked together on a musical theatre production. Given each one’s busy personal and pro-fessional schedule, the reunion is a quite a feat.

“The last time we were all together for a musical theatre show was in 1995, in Jesus Christ Superstar,” said Judy. “The boys also appeared together in our Nutcracker in 1999 and 2001.”

Dance, drive, acting, ambition and per-forming talent run in the family. Educa-tion plays an important role too. Andrew is attending UNBC, Jon’s going to college in Vancouver (he’ll join the fold in P.G. after graduation.) Matt and wife Anna moved here from Vancouver. They are busy taking care of business and bookings for Enchainement Productions Inc. at the city-owned Prince George Playhouse.

“In The Producers, Jon plays a small part on stage and a bigger part off stage looking after the sound,” said Judy.

“I’m really proud of the boys,” added Bill, “especially for coming back here and getting together on this production.”

His character in the Mel Brooks’ musical

is director Roger De Bris but Bill uses his creative talents in other ways too.

“I’m mostly in charge of design-ing and building the set and look-ing after the tech-nical aspects of things,” he said.

The project has provided lots of quality time for the brothers.

“We’ve have a lot of fun together doing this,” said Matt who plays several roles including Scott the choreographer. “Really, we’re all just savouring the moment.”

Andrew por-trays Nazi play-wright Franz Liebkind, author of Springtime for Hitler. Jon plays The Stormtrooper, a cameo role in Springtime for Hitler. But his bigger role is being respon-sible for the sound.

Matt and Jon work side by side on the production with Bill in charge of creating the sets and special effects.

The Producers’ hilarious story centres

around two theatrical producers Max Bilystock (Gil Botelho) and Leo Bloom (Owen Selkirk) who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Actor/singer Amanda Spurlock plays the role of “blonde bombshell” Ulla.

Judy Russell presents The Producers,

a Mel Brooks musical and winner of the most Tony Awards ever including best musical.

The show runs July 26 to August 4. Evening shows are at 8 p.m. Prince George Playhouse.

Tickets are at Studio 2880.

Depending on which show of Sesame Street Live - Elmo Makes Music you go to, you may or may not see Rachel McLaughlan on stage.

It’s not that McLaughlan isn’t in both shows, it’s just that she plays two roles.

“I rotate with another performer. Half the time I’m Jenny, the only human character in the show. The other half, I’m Rosita.”

That means that at one of the shows at CN Centre on July 25, McLaughlan will be clearly visible, while in the other show, she’ll be

inside the green costume of Rosita.“I’m on stage a lot in either role,”

she said by phone from Victoria, where the show was earlier this month. “The big thing is it’s two completely different tracks, so I have to remember which character I am.

“I think I’m increasing my IQ by doing this show.”

The tracks are pre-recorded voices, which play through the sound system, but Jenny and Ros-ita, clearly, have different things to do on stage.

“I know a few times I’ve started to sing the wrong song or move to the wrong part of the stage. You get some strange looks from the rest of

Going behind the scenes with Elmothe cast.”

It took some Canadian convincing for McLaughlan to take up singing.

“My mom is Canadian, so we used to spend the summer in the area around Osoyoos. I was in dance class, and I loved to sing, but I didn’t think I could do it very well.

“My aunt heard me singing and convinced Mom I should take singing lessons.”

Her aunt knew what she was talking about.“I make quite a good living at singing these

days.”She studied

opera for a while, but says almost all of her work is in a slightly dif-ferent area.

“ D e f i n i t e l y musical theatre. I like the whole acting thing, the dancing thing.”

McLaughlan has been working on Sesame Street shows since 2005, although she did take a break for a while.

“When I came back, I recognized about a quar-ter of the cast and company, which was nice.”

It was especially nice to have those familiar faces when the show hit the road.

“We work about 11 months a year, so we get to know the people. It’s a real family atmosphere on the road.”

Working 11 months of the year doesn’t mean they’re doing two shows a day, every day. Far from it.

“We only do one or two cities a week, so you

always get the chance to get out and look around the city. It’s a great way to see the country, here and in the U.S., and you’re usually out with other people from the show.”

She has played a lot of different characters in the various Sesame Street shows she’s been involved with, and one thing is common to all of the shows.

“Sesame Street is so embracing of different kinds of music. We’ll have some older songs in the show that the parents will recognize, and then we’ll have the songs from the TV show that

the kids know.“We always have a cou-

ple of new songs in each show as well. Sometimes, they aren’t really new, though.

“In this show, we do a song called Together We Make Music. I was visit-ing my nieces a while ago, and I heard the song, but it was by Garth Brooks.”

Having the music for her character tracked for the show definitely made things easier for

McLaughlan.“I learned French as a child, and I have learned

a bit of Spanish, but for the show, we use the voice of the performer who does Rosita on Sesame Street.”

Sesame Street Live - Elmo Makes Music is at CN Centre on July 25 for two shows, one at 10 30 a.m. and the second at 7 p.m. There is also a Play Zone which will be open an hour before each show, and admission is free with your Sesame Street Live ticket.

Thank you

On April 23, 2012, Lakeland Mills suffered a devastating blow when our sawmill was destroyed in an explosion and fire. Twenty-two people were injured and two long-time employees – Alan Little and Glenn Roche – lost their lives. The whole Lakeland family grieves these losses.

This has been a difficult time for everyone involved, but we are happy to say all injured employees are out of hospital and back with their families. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support we have received from around the world in this time of loss, and particularly from our own community.

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the people of Prince George and the Central Interior for your kind words, offers of help, and the generous assistance you have provided to help those affected by this tragedy move forward with their lives.

We have never been more proud to call Prince George home.

Thank you.

More than two months have passed since Kenny Lally’s boxing season fell short of his ultimate goal.

It’s been long enough for the 23-year-old Prince G e o r g e product to get used to the reality he won’t be living his dream in London, E n g l a n d . But with the Open-ing Cer-e m o n i e s to the 2012 S u m m e r Olympics a week away, Lally may soon be reliv-ing the pain of that defeat in the final qualifier in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in May.

Adding insult to injury, the boxer who put an end to Lally’s Olympic hopes will be boxing in Lon-don. Seventeen-year-old Jeyvier Cintron of Puerto Rico is competing in the 52-kilogram men’s fly-weight class.

“Even when I see com-mercials for (the Olym-pics), it still hurts. For the last four years, that’s what motivated me to go,” Lally says. “Any-time I didn’t want to train, that’s what moti-vated me. And now when I see the commercial, I know that I’m not going to be there at the Opening Ceremonies, not going to represent Canada. But it’s getting easier now. It is what it is.”

At the qualifier, Lally stayed close with Cin-tron early in the 52 kg quarterfinal match. But the Puerto Rican over-whelmed the Boxing Canada national elite A team member in the sec-ond and third rounds on his way to a 16-7 victory. Lally advanced to face Cintron after he scored a walkthrough in the opening round, awarded

when his opponent from Uruguay couldn’t arrive on time.

“This was honestly, in my 10 years of boxing, this was the biggest hit I ever took,” Lally says of the defeat to Cintron. “I’ve never had a big loss like this and believe me,

it hurt. It hurt really bad.”

W i t h L o n d o n out of the b o o k s , Lally will gear his t r a i n i n g e f f o r t s t o w a r d s q u a l i f y -ing for the following

Summer Olympics, in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. He’ll attempt to advance in the 56 kg division, a weight change supported by his Inner City Boxing Club coach Bob Pegues.

“It’s not safe. It’s not healthy,” Pegues says of Lally boxing at 52 kilo-grams. “And I don’t mind anybody knowing that.”

But a change in weight wouldn’t come without sacrifice. In this case, it would cost Lally his spot on the national team for the 2013 World Champi-onships in Kazakhstan. Since Boxing Canada announced in the spring it would start holding its national championships in October or November, the national governing body has decided not to hold the tournament dur-ing the 2012-13 season. The national champion-ships act as a qualifying event for boxers to secure carded spots on Boxing Canada’s elite teams.

Boxing Canada presi-dent Pat Fiacco, who took over the position from John O’Shea in 2011, encouraged changing the date of nationals in an effort to improve the country’s performances in international box-ing events. Fiacco is the mayor of Regina and has a long history support-

ing amateur boxing in the country.

The impact of the Box-ing Canada decision

gives the current holder of the national A team 56 kg spot, Justin Hocko of Windsor, Ont., the inside

track on advancing to the 2013 Worlds. But there’s

The Prince George Minor Football Association is holding its annual kick-off camp on Saturday.

From 9 a.m. to noon at the École Lac Des Bois field in the Lakewood subdivision, players are welcome to come and try out football for free. The camp is open to children born between 1999 and 2006 (2006 only if six years old before July 31).

The kick-off camp takes place to mark the beginning of preparations for the fall tackle season. The camp introduces newcomers to the sport, while PGMFA officials will be on hand taking registrations for the upcoming campaign.

Equipment isn’t required at the kick-off camp. The camp takes players through basic skills such as catching and throwing, while running partici-pants through drills.

The kick-off camp also acts as a lead-in to fall tackle practice sessions, which begin on July 24.

Practice sessions begin Tuesday at 6 p.m. They’ll run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the École Lac Des Bois field.

League action for the PGMFA fall tackle sea-son will unfold on Saturdays starting at the end of August. The league is open to players born between 1999 and 2006 (2006 only if six years old before July 31).

Registration fees are $50 for atoms (born between 2003 and 2006), and $195 for peewees and junior bantams (born between 1999 and 2002). First year atoms can play for free.

The league also asks for players to chip in with a volunteer bond of $75, which gets refunded at the end of the season in exchange for five hours of volunteer time. Quesnel and Vanderhoof are except in lieu of travel expenses.

Football equipment is provided free of charge by the PGMFA.

You can contact PGMFA registrar Melanie Forsythe at 250-649-6765 for more information. Updates are also provided on the PGMFA web-site at www.pgmfa.com.

In existence for almost 40 years, the PGMFA is a member of the B.C. Community Football Association, an umbrella organization for com-munity football throughout the province. The Prince George association is also a member of Football BC, the provincial governing body for amateur football.

PGMFA is a volunteer run organization dedi-cated to providing a safe environment for its players as they learn the sport of full contact Canadian football. Teamwork, sportsmanship and dedication are key components. All equip-ment is supplied except cleats, socks and prac-tice jerseys.

Football kicks off on Saturday

Cyclists on the longest annual charity ride in the world share stories about how they’ve been person-ally affected by cancer.

While each Livestrong Texas 4000 rider has seen family members touched, the 2012 ride is unique in that somebody who had been training to complete the same North American journey succumbed to the disease.

Houston, Texas prod-uct Ruel Bobet was diag-nosed with stomach cancer in April 2011 and passed away in February at the age of 21 years. His father was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer.

“Every single day there’s someone who rides for him and his father just because he had a very, very large impact on our team, very personable,” Texas 4000 rider Kaitlyn Hunt said. “Everybody knew him pretty much because he would message all of us, try to get to know all of us. He was so excited about being on this team and being a part of the ride and very, very passionate about the cause.”

The 2012 tour has also been a unique experience

for a Prince George resi-dent who’s supported the team every year. Dorrie Sharcott, who has acted as a host for participants of the annual ride during their stay in the city, was invited to participate in the first leg of this year’s ride on June 2. She gladly accepted.

“That was really cool for her to be able to come down for the beginning,” said Hunt, a 23-year-old Seguin, Texas product. “The first day of the ride is Atlas ride and we invite the community to come ride with the team and she was there for that.”

The Texas 4000 is a cycling trek of roughly 7,500 kilometres from Aus-tin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska that raises aware-ness about cancer. Partic-ipants are split into one of two groups, travelling either through the Rockies are along the coast. Hunt is on the 21-member Rockies group that passed through Prince George earlier this week. After a rest day on Monday, they resumed the tour on Tuesday, cycling from Prince George to Van-derhoof.

The other 21 Texas 4000 cyclists from the Coastal team are scheduled to arrive in Prince George on

July 28.After the Atlas ride on

Day 1, the groups split up on the second day. They’ll meet again in Whitehorse, Yukon, where they’ll leave together on Aug. 1 for the final 10 days of the tour. They’re scheduled to arrive in Anchorage on Aug. 10.

For many of the Ameri-cans participating on the ride, it represents their first

experience north of the border.

“I love mountains. Can-ada has been a treat,” Hunt said. “We spent three days in Banff, Lake Louise and then the Icefields. That for me was absolutely incred-ible.”

Hunt and the rest of the group crossed through Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyo-ming, Montana and Alberta

before they entered B.C. The Coastal riders have cycled in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington. That group was scheduled to reach Vancouver this weekend.

The cyclists have been pleasantly surprised by the warm, sunny weather in Canada. They’d heard sto-ries about the rainfall in

B.C. from previous riders.“We kind of prepared for

that as much as we can,” Hunt said. “But we’ve been told it rained a lot last month.”

All riders of the Texas 4000 are University of Texas students. Since the inau-gural Texas 4000 in 2004, more than $1,000,000 has been raised for the Ameri-can Cancer Society.

Okay, is it possible to discuss the CFL without mentioning how little the players get paid?

I will try, but not before communicating this fact: The

league’s salary cap is $4.35 mil-lion per team. In comparison, approximately 120 NHL players, including Scott Gomez, Ollie Jokinen, Shawn Horcoff, Rick

Dipietro, Tomas Fleischmann, Paul Martin, Jason Garrison and the ever dangerous Mike Komisarek will each earn more in the 2012-13 season than the payroll of each CFL team.

Now back to the “other” busi-ness at hand:

This must be a record: Winni-peg Blue Bomb-ers quarterback Buck Pierce has started 58 CFL games. In 22 of these contests (38 per cent) he was replaced due to injury. Pierce is hurt again and will

be sidelined indefinitely with torn ligaments in his left foot. One has to admire Pierce’s determina-tion, desire and competitiveness but the Bombers must be close to coming to the same conclusion as the B.C. Lions did; in that these injures are not neces-sarily his fault, but Pierce is an accident waiting to happen and he cannot be relied upon to lead the team. Perhaps the only compromise is to have Pierce in a back-up role. Either that, or as insensitive as it seems, cut him outright.

Down to the wire: Two of the first three games for the B.C. Lions were decided by a field goal or less. The Lions are off to a much better start than the 0-5 record of last year, but they are not playing anywhere close to their championship level of last October and November. I suspect that has more to do with motivation than the coaching change.

From what it is worth depart-ment: I am not sure we should read anything into this, but for the record not one B.C. player leads the league in the follow-ing statistical categories: passing yards, receiving yards, rushing yards, tack-les, interceptions, sacks, special teams tackles,

combined return yards, punting average or points scored.

Wide right: B.C. Lions kicker Paul McCallum has already missed as many field goals this year as he did all of last year. McCallum is nine for 12 (75 per cent) in 2012 com-

pared to 50 for 53 (94.3 per cent) in 2011. However, McCallum gets a bit of a break since he is now 42, or about half the age of Jamie Moyer.

• • •In what is a switch from past

practice, there are very few con-flicting home dates for the two Prince George junior hockey teams. Of the 27 games that the Spruce Kings play at the Coli-seum, only six are at the same time as a Cougars home game at CN Centre. Those dates are Saturday, Oct 27, Saturday, Nov 10, Friday, Nov 30, Saturday, Jan 26, Friday, Feb. 1 and Friday, March 1.

The Cougars schedule is one of their best balanced ones to date but there is certainly a glitch on the Remembrance Day long weekend when they host Edmonton on November 9th and 10th and then must be in Vancouver for a 4 p.m. game on Sunday the 11th. Not surpris-ingly, the Giants are idle on the 10th.

The Spruce Kings will be lost

in the shuffle prior to and after Christmas. Following a home date on Sunday, December 9th, they will not play again in front of their fans until January 18th, a stretch of nearly six weeks. In between, they will play eight straight games on the road.

Furthermore, I realize junior hockey and CIS basketball have their own set of supporters; however, there is an overlapping of fans of both sports. To this end, only three of the 12 home basketball dates for the UNBC Timberwolves are on a non-local hockey night (Saturday, Novem-ber 17th, Thursday, January 17th and their regular season finale on Saturday, February 16th).

Six of the other nine home games at the Northern Sport Centre are on the same night as a Cougars home game. Those dates are November 9, 10 and 16, December 1 and February 8 and 9. The other Timberwolves home games on November 29, January 19 and February 15 are on the same night as a Spruce Kings home game.

Ironically, there is only one date the entire season that the Cougars, Spruce Kings and Tim-berwolves will be at home on the same evening and that will be Saturday, November 10. See, isn’t that easy to follow?

Penn State at this point says they will not take down the Joe Paterno statue. Makes a certain amount of sense. The statue isn’t any guiltier than Joe-Pa was of doing noth-ing to stop Jerry Sandusky.

Penn State has announced plans to renovate its football locker room shower room after the Sandusky scandal. Dynamite would be a good start.

They were lined up on the far side of the apron at Prince George Airport on Friday morning.

Seven helicopters, their size clear by looking at the people near them.

Those seven helicopters were waiting for their ride, as they prepared for a trip to Angola, to be used in ferrying people and supplies around the African country during its election.

Anything that could fit seven full-sized heli-copters comfortably would have to be pretty big. The Antonov-124 fits that description.

“It’s the third-biggest airplane in the world,” Brian Mycroft of Vancouver Island Helicopters said. “We have contracts to supply helicopters to Angola, and we’re putting seven of them on that plane.”

This wasn’t Mycroft’s first sight of the Antonov.

“I saw it at Vancouver Airport, and we were in Angola doing the same job during their last elec-tions, and the Antonov was there then.”

Prince George Airport Association president and CEO John Gibson said

the Antonov landing in Prince George to pick up the helicopters was a big moment for the airport.

“It’s big for us. It helps us build that long-term commercial-business case with other clients.”

The landing was also a practical demonstra-tion of what was possible with the new runway at the airport, the third-longest in Canada. While an Antonov-124 landed here in 1995, it couldn’t take off with a load on the old runway.

“We do need the big runway for something like this,” Gibson said. “We’re trying to tell the companies who supply the mining companies and the pipelines that they don’t need to land at Edmonton or Vancouver and truck their equip-ment in.

“They can land right in Prince George.”He and Mycroft agreed this was a definite win-

win situation for the airport and the company.“We support all the initiatives at Prince George

Airport,” Mycroft said. “We do all our training here, and we’d like to see the airport

prosper.

Allan WISHART/Free PressThe Antonov-124 which landed at Prince George Airport dwarfs the seven helicopters which would be loaded onto it before it continued on its flight to Angola. The Antonov-124, the third-largest plane in the world, made full use of the new long runway at the airport.

Yup, that’s big

the possibility of Hocko leaving the team, pull-ing out due to injury or moving up a weight class.

The changes mean Lally will compete a lot closer to home in the 2012-13 campaign. But after two years of travelling around the globe on Canada’s elite A team, he wasn’t looking ahead to the season with disappointment.

“So I get a whole year off of international stage. That’s good, I need a break.”

PrInCe geOrge CArdPegues is interested in holding another boxing

card at the Northern Sport Centre in October. He says Hocko would be the opponent of choice for Lally if he can secure a date.

Lally may also box at an events in Kelowna in September and Edmonton in October. The Prince George card would include Lally’s train-ing partner Jag Seehra.

“I’m trying to fit a date in there for us before the snow flies,” Pegues says.

PrOvInCIALSThe cancellation of nationals has left the 2012

Boxing BC provincial championships up in the air. Members of Boxing BC’s executive have dis-cussed whether it’s in their best interest to have the competition.

Pegues hopes the B.C. championships take place.

“You’ve still got youth and juniors,” he says. “It’s not all about the Kennys and the Jags.”

COAChIngAs they’ve risen in boxing, so has the role

Lally and Seehra play out of the ring. Pegues would like to see three new boxers join the club to be trained individually by each of the Inner City members. They’re also planning to help Boxing BC develop by holding junior camps in Prince George, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island.

This summer, Lally has been running a boot-camp. He began running sessions in late June, and started a second cycle on Monday.

Pegues has enjoyed a break from coaching this summer, but is eager to return to a more active role in the fall.

“I’ve had a slow time since I sort of cut Jag out a bit, and Kenny has been off with the national team and I’ve really, really enjoyed it,” says. “But now I’m getting antsy to coach some brand new kid actually.”

KCI_JUL20_2_W_10X9_S_PGFP.indd 1 12-07-17 1:25 PM

On July 8, Kim Slater began her journey across the province to engage northern communities in dialogue on renewable energy and alternatives to expanding the tar sands.

She has begun to share these informal conversations on the cam-paign website and blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

One of the people she has spoken with along the way is Seth McDon-ald of Dunster.

In addition to working in the silviculture industry, Seth started his own biodiesel company called Robson Valley Biodiesel. He is com-mitted to reducing his dependency on fossil fuel at work and at home, and helping others in the area to do the same. He runs his vehicles on waste veggie oil and biodiesel and grows much of his own food. He donated a large quantity of waste veggie oil to the Band Together Support vehicle.

So far Kim has traveled 170 km west along Highway 16, with stops in Mt. Robson and McBride, head-ing towards Prince George. The Sea to Sands Conservation Alliance will be hosting a gathering at Artspace at 7 p.m. on July 24. Anyone with an interest in oil alternatives and renewable energy is welcome to attend.

While Kim intends to primarily ask clean-energy related questions at the gatherings, many of which were shaped and tweaked at an interactive dinner event in Whistler, she will also be inviting community leaders to endorse the Statement of Support for a National Energy Strat-egy prepared by Tides Canada. The aims of a national energy strategy should be to deliver energy secu-rity, create jobs and prosperity and to fight climate change while pro-tecting the environment.
