Campfires banned throughout province


HoroscopesJuly 20 - July 26, 2015

Acting on changing the way something is structured will do a lot more good than rebelling. You have to be able to manage this yourself as you won’t be listened to. Bring to an end anything that hasn’t made you happy or has niggled at you since late 2012. It’ll be easier to do than you thought giving you reason for celebration.

It can become clearer in your mind about the best way to bring to an end certain pressures others have been placing on you for some time. Persistence in establishing a routine that suits you will certainly pay off. Your immediate focus can be retreating to some degree to generate some pleasure & relaxation for yourself.

Take stock of where you stand right now financially, esp. if there’ve been sudden expenses or impulsive spending of late. Watch what you spend on all the small things on a daily basis. Spending time at home away from the many distracting activi-ties may prove a big help.

In the next 2 years, lower the level of your involvement in cer-tain things. You’ll have a lot more detail to deal with in the next 2 years – work out ways that you can enjoy this, rather than getting frustrated with it. Social activity is the most likely area you’ll actually be happy to cut back on.

Getting things to work will become a lot easier, esp. to Aug. 11. You can become better focussed mentally & get a clear impres-sion of what you should be aiming for long term, very likely after having different ideas drift in & out of your mind over the last year. Give strong consideration to what you really believe in.

Balance & harmony is now with you for a short time – ‘til Aug. 1. Part of weighing things up involves reviewing the past or dealing with the past in some way, to early Sept. The way to cor-rect previous decisions made that didn’t properly address your priorities can become evident.

Make final decisions about financial commitments you’re pre-pared to make or any you want to change. Someone else may feel you’re not listening to them but that shouldn’t influence what you feel is best for you. Get plenty or proper rest is wise now – early-Aug., esp. if this has been lacking of late.

Take a good look at what’s been part of your life since late 2012. You can clearly see anything that should be let go of in order to move on successfully. This doesn’t mean you can leave responsi-bility behind but you’ll now realise where you won’t be listened to & the decisions you need to make about your own obligations.

Don’t waste too much time on anything you haven’t been able to work out about someone else. Matters will have a way of emerg-ing on their own accord. Focus on your goals. Something about them may become much clearer over the next month. Weigh up commitments – be cautious about what you accept right now.

A query you’ve had in relation to a friend or acquaintance since late 2012 may be cleared up through something they have to say or comment upon. Don’t expect too much progress with others in general right now. They feel stuck in some way & will tend to withdraw for a while before emerging, giving you clearer vision.

It’s time to bring to an end any situation where you’ve felt you’re a slave to other people’s needs. You may discover they’ve appreciated you more than you realised however they need to realise that this should be better expressed to you. Interaction with others will be interesting to mid-Aug.

You may come to realisations about something you’ve expected or attempted to pursue since late 2012. If it’s still important, be prepared to deal with the details & be honest with yourself as to whether it’s been more the big picture that has interested you. If you don’t, it may become rather overwhelming.

All open fires – including campfires – are prohibited throughout most of the province. This prohibition will remain in place until further notice. This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The fire danger rating is currently “extreme” throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, and most area of British Co-lumbia. With the current trend of hot and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed aggressive behaviour and have required additional firefighting resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical re-sources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires. In addition to campfires, this prohibition applies to open fires of any size, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burn-ing barrels. This prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. This burning prohibition covers all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local gov-ernment that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sen-tenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefight-ing and associated costs. To report a wildfire or an open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone.

CROCHETED CREATIONS BY JUDI

This bandit is no criminal; she is a baby raccoon named “Hazel” be-ing cared for at Critter Care in Langley. Critter Care is known for their dedication to wildlife education and the rescue and rehabilitation of native mammals. During the course of their duties, RCMP officers often locate aban-doned or injured animals and, in turn, rely on organizations such as Critter Care to assist with these helpless creatures, according to Cpl. Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services. During Critter Care’s open house last weekend, Sgt. Lorne Lecker of the RCMP’s Deas Island Traffic Services volunteered his time to meet and greet the public and of course, cuddle the critters. Although known for being very tough when it comes to road safety, Sgt. Lecker showed his softer side when he spent his day with the animals and staff at Critter Care. Lecker has volunteered his time with Critter Care for the past six years and plans to continue his support for years to come. “I truly believe in the hard work done by organizations like Critter

Care and I am pleased to support these animals in any way I can,” Lecker said. Also in attendance to show their support were Cpl. David Hergesheimer of the Lower Mainland Police Dog Services, Langley RCMP auxiliary constables and the Township of Langley Fire Depart-ment. A display from police and fire is always exciting for the public. “We really appreciate the dedication from our local emergency ser-vices personnel,” said Gail Martin, Critter Care executive director. “They are always a welcome addition to our open house.” RCMP officers are very dedicated to their communities and this is one of many examples of where our officers go above and beyond to give back.

Mounties get their moose Perhaps not in the way you might be thinking, but late last month Ter-race RCMP really did get their moose, two in fact. Just before lunch on June 28, Terrace RCMP were called to rescue a moose calf that was crying for its mother in the Skeena River. RCMP in a co-ordinated effort with the British Columbia Conserva-tion Service rescued a brother and sister, that are believed to have been unable to navigate the rapids and got separated from their mother as she swam upstream. The calves were transported to the Smithers Northern Lights Wildlife Society. Fortunately neither they nor any po-lice or conservation officers were injured in the rescue. “The only casualty was the rear window of the pickup truck that the first calf was originally put in, related Cst. Angela Rabut. “They were a handful!”





Boating season is upon us. With cottages up and running and the sun shining, getting out on the lake is a top priority for many boat owners. There are several safety precautions to ensure a fun and safe boating season, like reviewing the weather forecast, and checking fuel levels and personal flotation devices. But carrying a proof of competency for your boat is also a crucial element. Did you know that anyone operating a motorized pleasure craft must carry proof of competency (except in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut)? Transport Canada introduced the proof of competency requirement in 1999, to help reduce boating deaths and injuries. Proof of competency can be:• a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC);• proof you passed a boating safety course in Canada before April 1, 1999;• a specified marine certificate; or• a signed Rental Boat Safety Checklist. Transport Canada recommends you take a boating safety course to learn the:• minimum safety equipment you must carry on board• Canadian Buoy system• rules for sharing waterways• laws and regulations that apply to boating• best ways to respond in an emergencywhaT is a renTal BoaT saFeTy CheCklisT?

This checklist includes the topics a rental agency must cover in a basic safety orientation to a client, about the boat, its equipment and features, as well as any hazards in the local waterways. Both parties (rental agency and you) must sign the checklist before you go out on the water. You must then carry the checklist on board as your proof of competency for the entire rental period.

Carry your doCumenTs Have these with you before you leave shore:• Proof of competency• Photo ID• Pleasure Craft Licence (for boats with a 10 hp (7.5 kW) or more motor) Know and obey age - horsepower restrictions• Youth under 16 years old may not operate personal watercrafts.• Youth under 12 years old are restricted to 10 hp unless accompa-nied and supervised by someone 16 or older.• Youth 12 to 16 years old are restricted to 40 hp unless accompanied and supervised by someone 16 or older.

“Long Term Care Insurance ... you can’t stay home without it!”

Approximately 100 people die in boating-re-lated accidents every year. For many, wearing a properly sized lifejacket or personal flota-tion device would have made the difference between life and death. The law requires that all recreational boats have enough Canadian-approved flotation de-vices of the appropriate size, for everyone on board. You may choose between a lifejacket or a personal flotation device (PFD). Here are some things to consider: how Big is your BoaT?• Large vessel (with cabin[s])• Open small boat (under 6m/20 ft) where will you Be?• Open water (ocean, big lakes),• Near shore (small lakes, calm rivers, remote areas), or• Fast water (white water or flood conditions)

whaT will you do?• Go canoeing, kayaking, or paddle boarding• Enjoy towing sports• Sail• Fish and hunt

• Cruise how should iT FiT?• Comfort is important, so shop around for a lifejacket that will look and feel great on you.• It must fit snugly so it doesn’t ride up over your chin or ears.• Do not buy a size for a child to “grow into.” It must fit now. Also look for the handle on the collar and crotch strap when buying a child’s PFDs.• Test your new PFD in the water to learn how it works. Swim, float and play in the water so you are comfortable wearing it. does iT sTill FloaT?• Don’t rely on a worn out lifejacket (or flota-tion device). Regularly check to make sure it still floats properly. To learn more about lifejackets, PFDs and boat-ing safety, visit www.tc.gc.ca/boatingsafety.
