Valemount & Area Chamber of Commerce and Friends of Valemount teamed up on Sunday,

May 6, 2012, to participate in the annual Pitch-In Campaign. Although the Pitch-In Canada Week was April 23-30, the date was changed to coin-cide with Village of Valemount Spring Clean-Up Week in the hopes of having more involvement. A small but enthusiastic group of volunteers gathered at the Caribou Grill and fanned out onto the nearby streets and alleys to pick up the debris that the winter snow has kept hidden

from sight. There were no reports of any treasures or un-usual items being found this year.

In the four years that the Chamber has participated in Pitch-In, we have noticed a marked decrease in the amount of gar-bage in the down-town area. The people of Valemount must be commended for being more aware of their surroundings and mitigating the nega-tive impact garbage has on the environ-ment and the image presented to tourists visiting our village.

Get involved. Mark your calen-dars now and plan to be a part of the 2013 Pitch-In. To-gether we can make a difference!

Canfor re-opens Radium SawmillIn a press release on Thursday, April 26 Canfor Corporation announced

the company will be proceeding with capital improvement projects to-talling approximately $40 million concentrating on the Radium Sawmill located in Radium Hot Springs, B.C. commencing in May and with an an-ticipated fourth quarter start-up. Approximately $38.5 million will be in-vested in a new planer facility, the installation of a biomass energy system and modifi cations to the existing sawmill. The sawmill located in Canal Flats, B.C. will see the balance of the investment to improve drying capac-ity.

“These investments are critical to support the restart of our Radium di-vision, which was indefi nitely closed in May 2009,” said Don Kayne, Can-for President and CEO. “The fi bre in the Kootenay region is amongst the best in the world, and these investments will secure our ability to make top-quality products here to supply global markets.”

Mills set up Safety Task ForceOn Friday, May 4 the Council of Forest Industries (COFI) announced the

creation of a “Safety Task Force” in the aftermath of the Babine and Lake-land fi res. The task force, comprised of wood products manufacturing rep-resentatives, external scientists, insurance engineers and experts, will be mandated to quantify combustion risks related to dust from both green and dry wood. It will also identify best practices for dust mitigation from other industries that have related issues and develop an industry wide au-ditable standard to be utilized to provide independent assurance of mill safety. It will also create an industry-wide approach to safety inclusive of both large and small operators.

“This is a signifi cant collaborative effort to ensure that BC’s wood prod-ucts manufacturers are operating to the absolute highest standards,” said West Fraser CEO Hank Ketcham. “We look forward to working with our industry colleagues to advance these important initiatives.”

British Columbia marks May 6 to 12 as Emergency Preparedness Week

Emergency Preparedness Week is a national awareness campaign coor-dinated by Public Safety Canada, in close collaboration with the provinces, territories and municipal partners. Since 1996, the campaign has served to educate Canadians of the value in emergency planning and preparedness for emergencies and disasters of all kinds.

British Columbia faces many hazards, most stemming from natural di-sasters. While the Province works closely with other levels of government to help ensure public-safety response and emergency management, safety begins at home with individual and family preparedness.

When disaster strikes, emergency workers may not reach everyone im-mediately, or even for several days. Families should be prepared to take care of themselves for a minimum of 72 hours. The impacts of any emer-gency or disaster can be lessened by knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency and by identifying the risks, having a plan and a kit prepared.

During Emergency Preparedness Week, British Columbians are encour-aged to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies:

* Know the risks specifi c to your community. * Develop a family emergency plan and practise it. * Prepare emergency kits for your home and your vehicle. To learn more about how you can be prepared for a disaster, visit the

Emergency Management BC website at: www.pep.bc.ca and the Public Safety Canada website at: www.getprepared.gc.ca

Recently Kinder Morgan announced intentions

to twin its current crude oil pipeline from Alberta to the west coast of Brit-ish Columbia. Many can remember the economic benefits Kinder Morgan brought to the valley dur-ing their last project. Look-ing around our villages at the empty storefronts and the disturbingly sparse traffic it could be sug-

gested another Kinder Morgan project couldn’t come soon enough. More jobs, traffic and residents, even if it were temporary, would certainly be welcome in our valley. However if you follow the path of the pipeline toward the coast, the expansion would cause a five-fold increase in tanker traffic in Vancouver Harbour and increase the possibility of an environmental di-saster; a great concern to west coast residents.

The Vancouver Park Board, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and many Vancouver councillors are opposed to the pipeline expansion. The City of Vancouver is considering adopting a bylaw that would make pipeline operators and oil tanker own-ers legally and financially responsible to the City of Vancouver and local industries in case of an oil spill. Even Terry Lake, Minister of Environment suggested Kinder Morgan would have to reassure the public of both its safety and eco-nomic benefits, something Kinder Morgan admits will require some work.

It is sometimes easy to loose sight of the bigger picture, a tendency that is in-tensified when in the midst of a crisis. If the valley wasn’t strapped would we be able to give consideration to the residents of Vancouver to their fears? Could we envision a horrific disaster in Vancouver Harbour involving the collision of two or more super tankers and the poisoning of the environment? If our streets were bustling and business was booming would we add our voices of concern for an expansion project, which would only offer us temporary benefits, increase environmental risks and deepen the pockets of big oil? Would our mayors and councils show solidarity with the City of Vancouver and demand Kinder Mor-gan ensure the issue of safety is addressed. Would we as a community consider the consequences and take ownership for our part in a potential disaster should we unanimously support the project?

The pipeline expansion may bring us much needed employment and economic spin-offs, which may go so far as to fill our schools with kids and expand existing business. We see ourselves as an isolated community but the oil spilling into Van-couver Harbour in the midst of an environmental disaster will be flowing under our feet in a pipeline we helped to build and expand. Considering the big picture and acknowledging concerns outside the valley has significance. Being prudent and concerned about safety and the protection of the environment demon-strates our unity with the rest of the province. Complete opposition to the project

wouldn’t be necessary, but demanding safety and environmental considerations on be-half of the residents of Vancouver is not unrea-sonable. Showing Brit-ish Columbia we care what happens outside our isolated valley has great value.

Dear Editor,

A job well done is a job done right, and complex projects need appropriate time to develop.

In response to Daniel Betts’ Viewpoint column on Wednesday May 2 – where he ques-tioned the Province of British Columbia’s intentions and promises – we want to ensure your readers understand that the B.C. Government is working to making the Regional Economic Development Forum and the McBride to Barriere Corridor Pilot effective.

You’re right to believe in this project – it will provide a great benefi t to this region.As with any pilot, we are exploring new territory, and want to do all the appropriate

groundwork before moving ahead too quickly.There is progress being made. A follow-up meeting with Ministers Terry Lake and

Shirley Bond has been scheduled for May 22 in Blue River, B.C., to discuss numerous projects brought forward. This meeting will focus on three themes and a number of op-portunities associated with each: energy, fi bre and tourism. More information is avail-able on these opportunities at the following website:

http://www.jti.gov.bc.ca/economic_pilots/index.htmThe focus will be placed on what can be accomplished in the short term and how to

position the region in the future, looking to long-term sustainability to benefi t families in the region for years to come. We will identify and pursue opportunities that develop through this process.

Good things, includ-ing the positive economic change we are working to support, take time to de-velop. Understanding and patience will serve while careful thought is put into fi nding the best opportu-nity to bring maximum benefi t to the region.

Once the McBride to Bar-riere Corridor Investment Pilot is complete, we can all be proud of what it will bring to this community.

Pat Bell - Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Inno-vation.

OPINIONOpen letter to the Board of the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George

Regarding: ROBSON VALLEY-CANOE DOWN-STREAM OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO 1948, AMENDMENT BYLAW NO 2712,2011 & ZONING BYLAW NO 833, AMENDMENT BY LAW NO 2713, 1011, given third reading at your April 19th meeting.

Dear Sirs/Madams,I am writing to ask you to reconsider your posi-

tion on the above-mentioned bylaws on the follow-ing grounds.

You are establishing a Heavy Industrial site in a Residential/Agricultural area.

You claim to have areas set aside for Commercial & Industrial sites within Area H. Are you not ignor-ing your industrial site development plan by a knee jerk reaction to a request to place a sawmill in this area. By doing this you establish a precedent, which will be diffi cult to reverse. Also you have stated that Tourism is an important factor in the development of this regional district and yet you are ignoring an established and expanding ecotourism operation in favour of establishing an industrial area with po-tential for adverse consequences.

Rail transportation is no longer available to ru-ral locations along the CNR Line therefore High-way transportation of raw material and fi nished product to and from an industrial site is the only alternative. Does it not make sense to establish In-dustrial Islands adjacent to the highway corridor? Many suitable sites are available on crown land ad-jacent to Highway 16, i.e. abandoned gravel pits. In the case of Mr. Pelton’s Sawmill this would mean shorter travel distance for the majority of the 100 logging loads per year of raw material. No need to haul up and down the Crescent Spur Hill and the Backchannel Hill, neither of which is overly safe under certain weather conditions.

In the matter of security of an industrial site near the highway, the regulations around Industrial sites

allow for single family dwellings on those sites so there is no reason why the sawmill owner and his crew could not live near the mill site and provide the same degree of security that he could on the site beside the railroad track.

There is no assurance that the industry request-ing these amendments will maintain the status quo in regard to the size of operation nor remain in the hands of the present owner. In fact it is noted that the present owner is considering expansion by adding a peeler line if a market becomes available.

In my experience in logging and saw milling if you only shipped, as fi nished product, 15% or less of the logs you brought to the mill it was classed as ‘High Grading’ not ‘Value Added’ as is being claimed for this product. For this reason expan-sion of the scope of operation over time is inevi-table increasing the level of noise, dust and other pollution.

The argument about the school children and the school bus is a tear-jerker. My argument is not against a sawmill with family supporting workers, but it is against the Regional Districts lack of vi-sion and planning in where such operations are allowed to locate.

Are the derogatory remarks of one of your board members who referred to some of the people op-posing this bylaw as ‘Bush Bunnies’ an indication of the low regard in which the board hold anyone who may hold an opinion different than their own?

Sincerely hoping you will reconsider this matter.

Yours truly,W. B. Arnold - McBride, B.C.

Resident of the Robson Valley for 54 years 20 of which were at Crescent Spur involved in the Log-ging and Sawmilling industry. Since then I have lived in McBride and been actively involved in the Robson Valley community.

“The Pied Piper”On Friday, May 4, 2012, students from Valemount Elementary School, after working with the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) for the week, presented an enchanting public performance of “The Pied Piper,” with a second performance on Saturday, May 5. The students hard work and enthusiasm permeated the Valemount Community Theatre much to the delight of the audience.

This year alone, over 65,000 kids will be cast in one of many MCT International Tour shows. The primary goal of MCT is the development of life skills in children through participation in the per-forming arts. This years performance was sponsored by the Valemount Elementary School PAC.

Mother’s Day; the day we all pause and celebrate our mothers and motherhood. Mother’s Day is cel-ebrated around the world in a lot of different ways, on different days, with a variety of names. Some

celebrations are based on cultural or religious beliefs. In Canada we celebrate our Mothers and other signifi cant females in our life on the second Sunday of May.

This is the day many moms look forward to sleeping in, and hopefully being served breakfast in bed, made lovingly by the children of the household, and spending the rest of the day just relaxing or perhaps indulging in a little retail therapy. Handmade gifts, fl owers, cards, a lovely brunch or dinner at a nice res-taurant are some Canadian traditions that come to mind.

According to Hallmark Cards, Mother’s Day is the third-largest card sending occasion. Over nine mil-lion Mother’s Day cards will be given this year. As far as gifts go, a consumer survey suggests that men plan to spend signifi cantly more than women on the occasion, which generates the second-highest volume of weekend shopping in the year, behind only Christmas.

As for the perfect Mother’s Day gift, results of a Linden Bay wine survey of 2,000 Canadians offers a clue, with more than 80 per cent of working moms saying they wanted more time in a day.

The cost? Clearly priceless!I recently conducted a poll about how people in Valemount celebrate Mother’s day. Some of the re-

sponses I got were:

• I will put some fl owers on her grave and when we get to Valemount, do the same for my mother-in-law. (Although that may not happen on Mother’s Day, same thoughts and feelings.) - Mabel

• I will make sure to call her and usually I take a bouquet of fl owers and a sappy card to my aunt who raised me the last half of my life. - Jenn

• For me Mother’s Day holds a special meaning. I am very blessed to have my mother still alive. She is now almost eighty-fi ve years old, has raised eleven children (and half of the town who also called her Mom.) Mother’s Day is tucked right between my parent’s anniversary and my mother’s birthday, so the family always gathers for some quality time; with either a barbeque or a dinner out. Because of the distance that is now between us, it is not possible to visit in person, but my Mom will receive a card, fl owers and a phone call. I also fi nd some teary song to dedicate to her on her favorite radio station. - Marie

But this one summed it up the best.

• Since my own mother passed away a little over 10 years ago, Mother’s Day was a sad day for me, usually spent crying and feeling sorry for myself, with my chil-dren tip-toeing around me. Until one day a few years back someone said to me, “Although your mother is gone, your children still have a mother that they would like to spend the day with.” Best advice I was ever given and since then I spend the day being thankful for all of my blessings. From the homemade cards, cold breakfasts in bed to the wonderful surprises, each and every one given with love, I am thankful. I have been many things in my life, cook, maid, fl orist, mender of boo boos, wife, sister, aunt, daughter, but of all of the things I have been called, I like “Mom” the best. - Sharon

Take the time this Mother’s Day to call your Mom and tell her how much she means to you!

COMMUNITYNotes from All Over

Mom’s the Word on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 13, don’t forget to tell the woman that either birthed you into the world or nurtured you in it. Everybody has a mother or some infl uence or version of. They are often one of the most over looked and taken for granted world facilitators out

there. They are our strongest supporters and biggest fans. It is very hard to do wrong in Mom’s eyes. Like chicken soup in a human body, no one makes you feel better when you are ill or hurt. Make sure you celebrate the Mother in your life. Quick fact: the fi rst Mother’s Day was May 10, 1908 in Philadelphia!

Police Offi cer’s Memorial Day

May 15, 2012, honors and remembers police offi cers who gave their lives while on duty. Police offi cers are there to protect our communities 24/7 every day of the year. It’s a sometimes dangerous job for which they know the risks, and still go out there and fulfi ll their role, sometimes, paying the ultimate price. Today you can show your respect and appreciation for police offi cers everywhere. If you see an RCMP member thank them personally or make a donation to a police offi cer fund or memorial. Ministry of Justice re: Emergency Management WorkshopThe Ministry of Justice will be holding an emergency Management Workshop in Valemount on Thursday, May 17, 2012, at the Community Services Centre, at 99 Gorse Street.

Important News from the CBTYou may or may not know that the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has the Colum-bia Basin divided into four areas with one offi ce in each quadrant – Castlegar, Cranbrook, Nakusp and Golden. In an effort to better balance geographic area with population base, CBT has decided to revise coverage by each of the four community liaisons. Valemount will now be covered by Lynda Lafl eur, Com-munity Liaison based out of the Nakusp offi ce. Valemount’s former commu-

nity Liaison, Katherine Hamilton said she wanted to let Valemount know that she does “have sentimental feelings about this change. [She has] had to take the past several weeks to digest to the idea of letting Valemount go (into Lyn-da’s capable hands of course!)... and come to accept all the people and things about Valemount that [she] will miss.” She said she has “thoroughly enjoyed [her] time in [our] community and am grateful for our good relations over the past several years.”

Burger Night at the Valemount Legion Every Friday evening until October from 5:30 to 7-ish is Les and Terri’s fa-

mous burger night at the Valemount Legion. $6.50 gets you a delicious home-made burger and salad. Come down and support the local Legion Branch #266.

McBride Library offers Skype Legal ClinicBeginning May 8 the McBride & District Public Library will host a legal clinic

one Tuesday evening per month. They’ll be connecting with a lawyer at Roger Batchelor Law Corporation in Victoria via Skype, the online video calling pro-gram. Anyone needing free legal advice is welcome to come between 7 to 9 p.m. for a 15 minute session. Time slots will be given on a fi rst-come, fi rst-serve basis. Although the fi rm will be able to answer most legal questions, in particular regarding family and criminal law, some cases may be referred.

Roger Batchelor Law Corporation has been conducting similar Skype clinics around Victoria for years. When they thought of expanding beyond Victoria, lawyer Jesse Stamm’s hometown of McBride came to mind. As a free, public space committed to supporting Robson Valley residents with all of their learn-ing needs, the library seemed a natural host. Library staff are happy to answer questions about the Skype legal clinic, and can be reached at (250) 569 2411.

ACTIVITIES

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)This is an expansive, varied and yet stable time. This trend will continue for a few weeks. Your en-ergy levels will rise steadily as well. But for now it is slow and sure that will work best. June will prove much more industrious yet, so pace your self. Ac-cept and commit to the responsibilities steadily emerging in your life to lay claim to your power.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)The gates are open wide and you are on a surge and rush of expression. Variety is in the mix and deciphering where to direct your energies fi rst then next… is important. Your focus will intensify measurably when decide. You stand to accomplish a lot, especially if you are organized. This is a time to plan and act, you can network more later on.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Your creative life is in some extra fertile ground all of a sudden. Now is a good time to be in your studio or study or wherever you feel most creative. Making your space work for you is part of the plot and has been for some months. Deep cleaning, re-arranging furniture and renovations perhaps to establish a setting worthy of this new inspiration is ideal.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)New friendship and association have been acti-vated. Following through and building upon these is likely. A cooperative approach is encouraged. Be fl exible and willing to comply more. Your energy levels should be rising, in tune with the changing season. Deciphering where best to ‘invest’ your energies is featured. Sweet words mean more than usual.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Some promising signs are showing up in your pub-lic and career life. This is an abundant and expan-sive time. Taking calculated risks is part of the plot. These require that you be focused and organized. Networking and communications with new friends especially is likely. There is love in the air, but it may be more friendly than romantic, for now…!

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)This is an adventurous time for you. Exploring new horizons feels right. This includes acquiring new tools and skills and connections. Your ability to see a bigger picture is more lucid than usual. You can see and feel many initiatives brewing. Your drive is strong and you will rebel against any blocks in your dynamic fl ow.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Financial matters are high on your list now. Legal matters, inheritances, investments and foreign ex-change are all highlighted. Despite setbacks, your strengths are on a steady rise. This trend will con-tinue. Yet disruptions in the home will continue to steadily unfold. These are accompanied by chang-es in your relationships. Work with this process.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)Your relationship front is steadily expanding. You are going through many changes as well and to-gether something brand new is being forged. It will take until autumn before you will be really clear about the implications. This is a call to let go into the fl ow and trust. Relationship provocations meanwhile are enticing to entertain.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Tending to your whole health implies bringing a greater measure of discipline to your regular rou-tine. All the efforts and rewards will be your own. Creating a more attractive look and a more alert presence to situations is a motivation. Is there anything as important as health? Take time to con-sider what you can and perhaps must do to feel healthier.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)The current continues to fl ow your way. Yet you are still expected to give to the situation. With your concentration powers at full force, you stand to get a lot done. This week is especially good to focus on projects and creative, constructive activity. Your fo-cus may not be so strong by month’s end. Yet it may be best to hold off on big investments for now.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)A peaceful, stable pace is both desired and likely these days. Happy to simply be more than do, this is a good time to rest and dream and languish. This can include practical and productive activity. But you will not be so happy if you feel pushed. Mean-while, entertaining a variety of possibilities and in-dulging your desires to sample will prove satisfying.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Slowly but surely you are coming around to new approaches and modes of perception. These are linked to new skills, talents and streams of income. People and circumstances are pushing you to be versatile in your approach yet focused and com-mitted where decisions that affect others come into play. Meanwhile, creating beauty close to home will prove inspiring.

Valemount Councillors getting iPadsDaniel Betts

EDITOR

As part of their efforts to develop a waste re-duction strategy while reducing costs at the

Village Offi ce, the Village of Valemount mayor and council approved the purchase of fi ve Ap-ple iPads to be used by the village councillors with one extra for use in the Village offi ce and to serve as a back up. The decision was made during the April 24 Village of Valemount Regu-lar Council Meeting.

Director of Finance, Lori McNee presented council with a background study comparing

the costs associated with printing agendas for one year versus the purchase and use of new electronic devices. In just one year, printing just 22 council agendas costs the village, $1,950 dollars. The village has chosen the onetime purchase of the iPads at a cost of $2,500 with an expected yearly cost of $670. The report men-tions other documents can be incorporated for further savings on printing costs and waste re-duction.

So as not to affect the budget of the Village Of-fi ce, scheduled offi ce computer upgrades will be held off until 2013.
