LITTLE RUNNERS

The second annual Mount Robson Marathon was an amaz-ing success. Words of praise for the volunteers, and deep

appreciation for the beauty that folks were given the opportu-nity to run through, could be heard from participants, family and friends, as well as visitors to the park.

Notably, Patricia Thoni, and Darryl Polyk, two of the key or-ganizers, along with an army of volunteers, put in countless hours to ensure the event was a success, and indeed it was.

Two years ago, when the idea and planning started for the fi rst marathon in 2011, a group of like-minded individuals that included Patricia Thoni, Darryl Polyk, Greg Barmby, and Hugo Mulyk came together to discuss and share observa-tions, and ideas.

FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS

Approximately 20 business people attended an update meeting on the status of the Holmes power projects, and were told some disturbing news.

Duke Peterson of Holmes Hydro Inc. together with Jim Trask of Triton Envi-ronmental Consultants Ltd. met with representatives of the Village of McBride, including Mayor Mike Frazier, Councillors Lori Kimpton, Irene Rejman and Rick Thompson, and Margaret Graine, Economic Development Officer (EDO). Included also were the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George director, Ken Starchuck, and Roy Howard of Fraser Headwater Alliance.

Attendees learned that the Watershed Watch Salmon Society (WWSS) along with the David Suzuki Foundation have filed a petition with a Vancouver, B.C. court, alleging the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) made a mistake in not taking the 10 projects into its review process instead of allowing the

projects to be reviewed through the FrontCounter BC process. The petition is against various government agencies and may significantly delay the 10 Holmes projects.

Peterson explained that in the fall of 2006 he contacted the EAO inquiring if the 10 projects should go through the EAO process. After reviewing the details of the projects and obtaining in-house legal advice, the EAO advised Peterson that it was not necessary for the projects to go through the EAO process. Pe-terson decided to follow the FrontCounter BC process, and in 2009 was issued water licenses and land tenures.

In statements made to the Prince George Citizen, Peterson noted each of the 10 projects may be able to generate between 2MW and 10MW, at peak pro-duction, on 10 non-fish bearing creeks, which run strongly in spring but are weak in winter. Peterson said each one is a stand-alone facility and believes it unlikely all 10 combined could generate 50MW, the estimates being based on an unlikely peak production.

“The water flow is not there to produce that power,” said Jim Trask of Triton Environmen-tal Consultants Ltd. Generators for hydro projects are chosen in order to take advan-tage of spring high flow rates, “just in name and the size of the generator they have the capacity to produce that power.”

Trask stated that the 10 projects have un-dergone a rigorous and open environmental process through the FrontCounter BC that is equal to the process with the EAO. Front-Counter BC is designed to simplify processing for small to medium sized resource busi-nesses. Trask stated that Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd. does both types of process-es and he is aware of the steps necessary for both.

Peterson is now deal-ing with the final de-tails of a contract with BC Hydro for the power production from the 10 plants. Negotiations are also underway with BC Hydro regarding the 138 KV transmission line required from the Mc-Bride area to the Vale-mount substation and

the required upgrades to that facility. The trans-mission line involves other companies, including a proposed biomass energy plant by ecoTECH En-ergy Group, for the McBride area.

Peterson is concerned the court action threatens all of the projects and therefore the immediate eco-nomic future of the Robson Valley. He says much time and money has been spent to date and the last fi ve and a half years of work are now on hold. Peter-son is looking to the community for support for this power project and has indicated the importance of quick responses to allow things to progress.

Peterson notes, years of work have been done by the community, the government, BC Hydro, and private companies to reach this critical stage, and fears a delay now may mean that none of the proj-ects can be completed.

According to Watershed Watch Ecologist, Aaron Hill, based on communications from the WWSS website, WWSS is asking for “a full Environmental Assessment as required by law in B.C. for hydro-power projects over 50 megawatts.”

Hill claims he understands energy develop-ment comes with an environmental cost and ad-mits, “River diversion hydropower can be one of the greenest sources of electricity,” but maintains, “Rigorous and publicly transparent environmental assessments allow decision makers and the public to separate the good projects from the bad.”

Due to the recent passing of the federal omnibus budget, Bill C-38, some run-of-river hydro projects in B.C., will no longer be assessed by the federal government.

“In my opinion it is a strategy of the petitioners to attack the legislation [Bill C-38] that has been pushed through, identifying some of the projects, which are now considered non-reviewable, bring-ing those to the forefront,” suggested Trask.

Most people understand we need to be stewards

of our forests, lands and riv-ers or we risk losing it all to those who care more about financial gain than sustain-ing our biosphere.

Thanks to organizations like the David Suzuki Foun-dation and the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, peo-ple are being made aware of the impacts industry has on our environment. Orga-

nizations like these also keep an eye on industry to ensure all the environmental processes are being fol-lowed. A recent petition they filed to put a stop to a run-of-the-river power project in British Columbia is a good example of this.

On paper preventing or delaying a project that in-volves building roads, diverting a stream and building dams sounds like a victory for green supporters every-where. Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as all that.

For over a decade the Village of McBride, B.C. has been fighting to achieve what most communities in the country simply take for granted, reliable power.

During numerous economic development forums and meetings it has been determined the biggest most pressing issue in the Robson Valley has been securing reliable power. Businesses wishing to relocate often dis-miss the Robson Valley due to its ongoing power issues.

For years local entrepreneurs, not big business or corporations, have been working hard to develop a “green” solution for their beleaguered village, which has shrunk do to lack of industry.

This spring, Shirley Bond, MLA for Prince George-Valemount, and Attorney General of British Colum-bia, announced what she described as the biggest good news story for the Robson Valley in twelve years; the promise by BC Hydro to upgrade the transmis-sion line from Valemount to McBride, but only if lo-cal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) weighed in to help with the costs and provide power to the grid.

How ironic is it that a respected environmental watch group will be responsible for taking the wind out of the Robson Valley’s sails? In filing a petition to stop the IPPs, they risk over a decade of work by numerous business owners, local government leaders and pro-vincial ministers. Not only do they risk the economic future of McBride but the entire region as well.

While highly respected, I wonder if either of these en-vironmental groups considered the consequences of this particular action on the people who live in this region?

Run-of-the-river power plants are considered the greenest mechanism for harnessing hydropower. Our understanding is the Front Counter BC environmen-tal assessments are just as rigorous and transparent as those at the Environmental Assessment Office.

Will the Robson Valley endure more years of eco-nomic decline because of a circumstantial technical-ity caught by an environmental group with too much time on its hands? Pardon the pun, but are there not bigger, more dangerous fish to fry?

Frying small fish

This year, the traditional Terry Fox Run along Cranberry Marsh has been cancelled, due to a

lack of interest. However, Terry Fox Run organizer, Patricia Thoni, is still planning the tradition hike up Mount Terry Fox.

On Saturday, September 15, those interested in participating should gather at the Highway 5 Terry Fox Pull-out at 7:30 a.m. and from there the group will hike the trail up Mount Terry Fox.

Thoni stresses that nobody will be required or

asked to hike the entire length of the trail, which is quite vigorous in places. Participants are welcome to hike at their leisure for however long they are comfortable. An impressive viewpoint along the trail is a popular distance and turnaround point, while others may choose to continue up the trail.

Hikers are encouraged to carry water and bring weather appropriate clothing and footwear for high alpine hiking.

Pledge forms for the Terry Fox “hike” is available at Caribou Grill or before the hike. For more infor-mation contact Thoni at (250) 566 8244.

Village complaint policy?Dear Editor:

I am curious about the Village’s policy on com-plaints regarding road closures. (This is of course about the closure of Cypress.)

The Council had a note in your newspaper a while back stating that the property on which the road is situated does not in fact belong to the Vil-lage. If this is the case, should a complaint about dust and traffic problems not be passed on to the owner of the property? Would it also not be up to

said owner to take action? Since it was Public Works who closed the road would the bill for labour (and the cost of the cement blocks) go to the owner of the property or are the taxpayers footing the bill?

Now on the other hand, if the property does in fact belong to the village and the taxpayers are footing the bill regardless, is it not policy to consult the resi-dents on 14th Avenue, Cranberry Place, Canoe View, and those residing in the trailer park on the corner of Ash Street and 13th Avenue before closing the road?

There must have been another option, and I am quite sure I am not the only one who would have loved to hear the other possibilities.

Thanks again,Adeline Janum – Valemount, B.C.

Valemount Pump House Update

According to Anne Yanciw, acting Chief Admin-istrative Offi cer (CAO) of the Village of Vale-

mount, one of the original pumps used to push water to the village reservoir has been brought back into service, but is operating on manual controls. Because of the uncertainty of the elec-trical in the pump house, public works is turning the pump off at night and back on in the morning.

According to Yanciw, the pump is able to re-supply the village reservoir to 100 per cent dur-ing the day, while it falls to 70 per cent during

Daniel BettsEDITOR

the night. As an emergency contingency, the pump obtained from Edmonton is still available. Work continues on the restoration of the back up pumps.

During the original emergency in June, all the pumps were subjected to unusual wear and as a result required extensive servicing.

Yanciw says that a formal report on the incident is in the works and the method of delivering the report, whether that be a town hall meeting or other venue, is current-ly being discussed.

Contrary to any rumours you may have been hearing around town, the 50th Anniversary Cel-

ebrations are proceeding on October 5, 6, and 7. Headed by Councillor Christine Latimer, the An-

niversary committee is diligently working to fi rm up some defi nite details within the next few days but what we can say is that there will be food folks and fun!

Some events that can be confi rmed at this time include:

• Opening reception Friday evening• Pancake Breakfast Saturday and Sunday• Kids events planned, nothing confi rmed yet• Presentations on Saturday, to be announced• Dance on Saturday evening

• Harvest Dinner Sunday late afternoon • Drive-In Movie on Sunday night complete

with concessions. Any groups wishing to op-erate a concession, please contact Marie at 250-566-0061

The committee is still collecting memorabilia and other items for the time capsule, which was started by the Valemountain Days committee earlier this spring. Drop your “donation” off at the Village Of-fi ce; attention Lorie

Do you have any photographs of days gone by, or stories you would like to share? Call Marie to set up an interview.

A more detailed report will be available next week. Meanwhile, keep abreast of new events on the nu-merous Valemount Facebook pages.

Sunday, September 9, 2012, the McBride Evangeli-cal Free Church in cooperation with the McBride

& District Chamber of Commerce hosted the third community appreciation event to show support to our emergency responders and to recognize their dedication to the valley. A casual potluck picnic was held at the McBride Park and was attended by about 60 people. Liz De Vries organized games and activi-ties to entertain children of all ages, and there were many to enjoy them. The McBride & District Cham-ber of Commerce lunch included pulled pork on a bun and chili along with potluck dishes brought by community members. The McBride Evangelical Free Church served coffee, lemonade and ice cream to go along with cakes made by Loren Monroe. Pas-tor Dan Carlaw said Grace and a prayer of dedica-tion. Mayor Mike Frazier said a few words and pre-sentations were made by Bill Arnold on behalf of the McBride & District Chamber of Commerce.

Recently, old friends, family, and co-workers gathered in Valemount to pay tribute to living

legend, Ernst (Ernie) Buehler, at “Ernie Fest.” Ernie worked for Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) for over 40 years, managing the CMH Cariboos Lodge for over 20. 13 of those years he lived in Valemount raising his sons, Jackson and Garett Buehler.

Tony Parisi organized “Ernie Fest,” partially for Ernie’s sons, saying, “In order to chart the future you have to celebrate the past. We wanted to honor their dad’s 40-some years of basically pioneering an industry. From helicopters to plumbing, and keep-ing all those people entertained, people came back, because Ernie was there. Everyone always respect-ed Ernie because he was just so cool. Ernie never ever lost it.”

Ernie came to Canada from Switzerland in 1968 to learn English. Already a ski instructor, and “half a mountain guide,” it was important to know Eng-lish where he was from in the Bernese Highlands. He recalls thinking he was just going to do a trip to Canada, “head down to South America and go back home.”

In Banff Alta., he ran into Rudi Gertsch, a moun-tain guide “buddy” from Switzerland (now owner of Purcell Helicopter Skiing, Ltd. of Golden, B.C.), through whom he met Nordberg Wiegele. Wiegele told Ernie his brother Mike Wiegele had a ski-school in Lake Louise. Ernie drove up one afternoon, Mike was there, and said to Ernie, “you can start right away; there is a class for you.”

Ernie worked two years for Wiegele before meet-ing Hans Gmoser, founder of CMH. Gmoser built the fi rst lodge in the Bugaboos, where he gave Ernie a job in the winter of ’71.

Ernie guided eight years there, until 1979 when he reluctantly came to Valemount to manage the Cariboos. Ernie didn’t want to leave the Bugaboos

because he loved it so much. He said to Gmoser, “You have to promise me, if the Bugaboos ever be-comes available I want to go back”. But when the Bugaboos became available, he didn’t want to go back. “This was much better skiing actually, and a much bigger area,” he smiled.

According to Ernie things are much more com-plicated now, then when he started, “you were out there in the wilderness, you didn’t have radios, you didn’t have beacons, no telephones, and no com-munications with the outside world.”

Ernie pays homage to his fi rst assistant manag-er, Dave Cochrane, and John, (Johnny) Mellis who took over following Ernie’s retirement six-years-ago. Mellis is honoured to carry on Ernie’s legacy, saying, “There’s men and there’s men. They don’t all come from Canada. Some of them come from Eu-rope. We created such a place as we have here, that we needed these people from Europe to come. We are super blessed to have a man like Ernst Buehler come in, and start a lodge like this...and make it the exceptional place that it is. I don’t know that there is any place else in the world that this exists. Ernie was the founder and the

Greg Barmby, who was an employee at the visitor’s center at Mount Robson, B.C., recalls “When Kelly and I moved here, we hiked the Berg Lake trail our first sum-mer here, and I realized that it was a perfect marathon distance. The trail is 42km return from the trailhead, which is the marathon distance.” Barmby also recalls that people came to the Berg Lake trail to train for other events, such as the Death Race held in Grande Cache, Alta.

Paul Johnson, one of the volunteers with timing mentioned “last year, the full marathon only went to Emperor campsite, but some of the marathoners wished they had gone by the lake.” This year, the organizers extended the run a little past the normal 42 kilometres to 46 kilometres, allowing the runners to pass the lake to Hargrave’s cabin and then back.

Jeremy Clegg, of Nanaimo, B.C., winner of the full marathon with a time of three hours, 29 minutes, and 21 seconds, used the Squamish 50 miler to train. Clegg said, “this is a phenomenal event. I was second for a bit, then I passed the first guy.”

That first guy was Steven Griffith-Cochrane, from Calgary, Alta. Griffith-Cochrane passed Clegg at Whitehorn and went on to be the first marathoner at Berg Lake. He arrived there in one hour and 50 minutes. He was not to maintain the lead however, as Clegg was able to catch up and pass him on the way down just before the Kinney Lake outflow.

Clegg was having trouble of his own. He was battling severe leg cramps for about the last 20kms, and had to walk a bit, run a bit, walk a bit to work them out. Clegg’s strategy of endurance over speed paid off, winning the event.

Over the course of the day, music was enjoyed as the Valemount Old Timers Mu-sical Group played, followed by the alphorns of Keith Berg and Jane Houlden of Dunster, B.C.

Pennants were painted with the help from Bonnie Markland, and Keith Heidorn of the Valemount Arts and Cultural Society, on the observation deck of the visitor’s center. The first aid post staffed by local physician Dr. Harry Keyter saw very few cases. More volunteers offered food and drink to the athletes after they received the medals from yes, more volunteers.

Mount Robson herself stood proud above all the proceedings with nary a cloud to be found and the sun shone brightly for all.

Five kittens, just days old, and their mom are alive thanks to a caring McBride resident.

On September 3, Susan Agostino was on her way to visit a friend when she drove by a motorhome that had been on fire on the side of Highway 16 west. Agos-tino met her friend on Garrett Road, the turnoff that leads down to Lamming Mills.

“We stayed right there in our vehicles and as we were chatting my friend pointed out something run-ning from near us into the tall grass,” she said.

“This was right in front of the first abandoned house that you can see from the highway on your way into Lamming Mills. I then saw a cream-coloured cat - I was later told that she is a Siamese tabby cross – and my first thought was ‘oh my goodness, it probably belongs to the people in the motorhome, it probably ran away when it caught on fire!’ When I approached the cat, she came to me right away, purred and rubbed my face with hers. She was well kept and smelled nice. She was so affectionate and loving. I knew she couldn’t have possibly been a stray, besides, no-one lives in Lamming Mills anymore except my friend, who lives way down past the tracks near the river, and it wasn’t his.”

Agostino took the cat back to where the burnt mo-torhome was and talked to McBride RCMP Cst. Na-than Fox.

“The owners of the motorhome had already left, but Cst. Fox said they assured everyone that everyone in-cluding their dog had gotten out safely and that there was no mention of a missing cat.”

Agostino figured the cat belonged to someone who lives in the area, except that there aren’t any residenc-es close by. She checked with a few people who lived further down the highway, but was unsuccessful in lo-cating the owner of the cat.

“So, figuring that the cat must belong to someone and would find its way home, I put it back where I

found it,” she said.“By about midnight that night it had begun to rain,

and all I could think about was the cat. She was so young, small, and tame, and was probably scared. I decided to go back out that night and see if she was still there and then take her home.”

Agostino said the cat came running out right away when she called her, took her home and fed her, then took pictures and put a notice on the McBride Buy Sell or Give on Facebook to see if anyone would recognize her.

“She had no collar, no tattoos and no markings that could help me find her owner. As my daughter Alys-sa and I were giving her attention I noticed she had full teats. I thought maybe she was pregnant, but she seemed so young, she didn’t even have all of her adult teeth. In the morning, after thinking and thinking all night, I thought, ‘what if she has already had babies?’ I looked at her nipples again and saw that there was crusted milk around them.”

Agostino drove out to the site again to look for the kittens.

“I had her with me to guide me to them if they were out there. I had no idea what I was going to find. I thought maybe some kittens in a tucked away spot like a farm cat would do. I was not prepared for what I was about to find.”

The momma cat didn’t go into the old abandoned house, but instead walked over to a cardboard box, with a towel in it, with five tiny kittens in it, all hud-dled together in the corner. Agostino figured they must have only been about four days old.

“The momma cat immediately jumped into the box and looked at me. My heart broke! How could some-one do that?”

Agostino said she noticed that the towel in the box had a bit of blood on it.

“I knew she had had the babies in the box. The towel wasn’t too dirty, so it couldn’t have been out there very long, and the bottom of the box was wet, but not to the point where it was falling apart, so I would guess

that the box had only been out there a couple of days at the most.”

With tears in her eyes at the disbelief and disap-pointment in how someone could treat poor defense-less newborn animals, Agostino put the mother and babies in her car and drove straight to the police sta-tion to report the incident.

Since Agostino already owns a dog and a cat, and felt their presence made momma cat uncomfortable, she decided to take them to the SPCA in Prince George.

“I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible and I wanted to do the right thing, so I put an update on Facebook and made the decision to take them there. I wanted them to get a good start in life, go to good homes and be safe. The lady at the SPCA thanked me for bringing them in and assured me that they will be well looked after. I know that the momma and babies are ok now, and are getting the best care, but it still brings me to tears and breaks my heart each time I think of how someone could leave those poor defenseless animals out in the cold, in the middle of nowhere, and still sleep at night. I am sure there could have been other alterna-tives. I am just happy that they were found.”

Despite the enlivening schedule of a professional mountain biker, in be-tween the photo shoots with photographer Margus Riga, saunas at the

CMH Cariboos Lodge and Ernie Fest (see story on page 7), I was somehow fortunate enough to snag an interview with the one and only Garett Buehler during his recent Robson Valley visit.

Donalda: Garett Buehler, Knolly Bikes professional shredder, Ride Gravity Pro Team ripper and all around gnarly guy, do you have any nicknames?

Garett: Lots of my closer friends just call me Buels.Donalda: Ok Buels, where do you hail from, where are you located now and

what is your connection to the vastness that is the Robson Valley? Garett: I grew up in Valemount, hanging out and playing around in the sur-

rounding mountains, and now I live in Nelson. Donalda: What part has your time in the Robson Valley played in your riding

career?Garett: The mountains around here have defi nitely left a huge impression

on me. They made me really want to push mountain biking on natural terrain and be outside in the hills.

Donalda: We know you have been pro since 2007, but at what age did you start biking and how did your career evolve?

Garett: I started riding way back when I was super young, cruising around Valemount, and bombing down from the TV towers. I always loved bikes and the feeling of freedom it gave at a young age. Watching mountain bike fi lms, I soon realized people actually get to travel and ride for a job. I knew from a young age I wanted to be a pro biker, and just always stayed true to it.

Donalda: So how many years have you travelled around the sun at this point? Garett: I’ve travelled around the sun 21 times now; it’s been great!Donalda: What does it mean to be pro? Garett: That depends on who you ask, but to me it means you ride for a job,

promoting your sponsors, and inspiring others to ride and enjoy it! Contests and videos, as well as photo shoots, are all a part of the schedule. It’s not a free handout. Most people seem to think it’s some sort of glamorous job, but at the end of the day, you need to work hard to make it happen like any real job in life, and it can be stressful with pressure from viewers, and sponsors as well as fellow athletes pushing it. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be in many ways, but it makes me happy when things are going well, so I love it!

Donalda: It shows. Where do you train, with who and how? Garett: I just ride lots. Freeriding is as much an art as an athletic in many

ways. Being creative with gravity and the features that come at you as you fl y down the hill doesn’t necessarily take insane amounts of fi tness, but I like to get in and see a gym trainer on the off-season, and just keep active on the bike, skis, and board. Having close friends who shred is key! Riding has always been

about fun, and nothing is more fun than riding with your friends.Donalda:: What type of riding is your favourite and why? Garett: I’d say riding with friends on a casual ride is my favourite; shuttling

downhill laps is grounding and fun, and that is why I ride. Donalda: Speaking of grounding, where is your favourite place to bike?Garett: B.C.!Donalda: Ha-ha, no contest hey? What are the key elements a mountain bike

trail has to feature to keep you coming back?Garett: It needs to fl ow almost like powder skiing, fl uid corners, and roll-

ers to pump, to keep your speed up, with mellow grade so you can let off the brakes and cruise through the forest!

Shredding some light on Pro Biking featuring Garett BuehlerDonalda Beeson

“Light transport”Above: Garett Buehler gets a “lending hoof” from one of Tony Parisi’s horses. Parisi and his horses recently led Buehler and his photographer, Margus Riga up McKirdy Mountain where they biked and camped, with the aim of scoring some seriously epic shots in our backyard.

COMMUNITYDonalda: That’s good information as Valemount builds its fi rst mountain

bike park. Have you participated in any events, or projects recently that you’ve really enjoyed or been proud?

Garett: Where the Trail Ends, is the latest fi lm project I’ve been involved in. I also have my own webseries called “Sessions”, which can be found at www.knollybikes.com. I’ve worked on many fi lms and web projects over the years as well as competed in Redbull Rampage, and Chatel Mountain Style, which are the two premier freeride events.

Donalda: How important is competing in events to you? Garett: Not very. I try to focus more on adventures, and fi lming projects. To

me, mountain biking is not about winning and losing; it’s just about getting rad, having fun for the sake of a good time, and achieving personal goals.

Donalda: How would you suggest someone who is interested in mountain biking get started?

Garett: Buy a bike and ride it like it’s stolen! Donalda: Do you have any advice for someone who might be training right

now? Garett: Have fun with it! Donalda: And in your opinion, what is the magical formula to success? Garett: Believe in yourself.

Donalda: Okay, I’m dying to know what song or album gets you stoked to ride?

Garett: Pennywise, this week… Donalda: One more personal question; what do you do in your spare time

that has nothing to do with biking? Garett: I just got a fi shing setup, started doing that. I enjoy just hanging with

friends and surfi ng is my newfound sport, which I’ve fallen for. Donalda: Anything we as your emerging fans can look forward to? Garett: Where the Trail Ends - the movie (www.wherethetrailends.com).Donalda: How can potential fans keep up on your progress and follow you? Garett: Twitter or Facebook. Just add me as a friend. Or, go to Knollybikes.

com and follow the blogs. Donalda: Anything else you wish I had asked or that you would like to tell

readers? Garett: Keep the rubber side down. Have fun. Enjoy the little things!Donalda: Thanks Buels; that was an intriguing ride!

Valemount Public LibraryValemount Public LibraryValemount Public LibrarMovie of the Week

In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’s young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12’s female representa-tive, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representa-tives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives.

VACS is back with their new seasonThe Valemount Arts and Cultural Society

(VACS) membership gives you the perk of early ticket sales and early seating for all shows in the season. The tickets are now ready and available for pick-up, for a one-stop shop for the fall sea-

son line-up. This is to hopefully encourage folks to come check out all the shows! They go on sale Friday, September 14, for all membership holders and Saturday, September 15 for everyone else. Members are reminded to bring their card with them when buying their tickets at Infi nity Offi ce & Health in Valemount.

Schools Back and so are the School ZonesJust a little reminder that as of last week the school zones are back in ef-

fect. That means 30 kilometres an hour.

Valemount Chamber of Commerce Community Fan OutJust a reminder that there is a Community Fan Out, which is a free service

of the Valemount Chamber of Commerce, designed to reach a different au-dience than the social networking sites; if you have an event or a special announcement you can send your information to [email protected] for inclusion in their weekly distribution.

From last week’s Community Fan Out is a note that “a fake $5 bill was passed in Valemount last week. It has been brought it to the RCMP who have a fi le on it. Make sure you look at your bills when you get them.”

Got a Tip? If you have a note

idea or tip, or would like to share your event or happening with us, you are encouraged to contact Donalda Beeson at [email protected] or The Valley Sentinel (250) 566 4425.

ACTIVITIES

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The emphasis now is on work, health and ad-justing to the changing season. Growing pas-sions will become evident over the next couple of weeks – not all play is the same. Your focus is sharp now and ideally this will lead to dip-lomatic relations before an otherwise critical attitude spoils the fun. How can you cover a lot of ground without spreading the love too thin? Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)A creative curve continues to carry you for-ward. You are determined to secure your po-sition somehow. Dealing with power players of various sorts is bringing mixed results. A growing commitment to the future is becom-ing increasingly evident. Learning to negoti-ate more and better is featured. Be open to the insights and professionalism of others. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21A big focus on home is featured now. Some-thing new is brewing. Cleaning and repair-ing is likely. You want to make improvements yet want to be careful with your money as well. You are in the mood to get things done. Weaving fu nand perhaps romance into your schedule could prove tricky, but you may try anyway. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)A busy cycle is underway. There is a lot going on, as if all of a sudden. A list of places to go, people to see and errands to run can prove stressful, unless you accept it. It is possible that many doubts and fears have been stirred, especially since summer began. To offset wor-ry and anxiety, focus on your blessings and breathe deeply into here and now. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Making key improvements in a variety of ar-eas is keeping you busy. You want to establish a more solid and tidy foundation. Your sights are set on the future. This may be stirring some fears. Be careful not to let your imagina-tion conjure negative scenarios. Working with your network is extra important these days, though changes in your approach are implied. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Everyone is feeling the shifts and not just in the changing season. These are natural yet re-quire our cooperation. Taking calculated risks in your career and/or public life is featured. Your willingness to learn new skills is an im-

portant emerging theme. Be proactive now and trust your intuitions that are nudging you to advance to the next level. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Ducking out of the limelight for a while will prove satisfying now. Retreat of any kind is ideal. You could still be produc-tive behind the scenes. Yet, a slow but sure approach will feel most satisfying. Your ambitions are being activated, however. Who you know may work better that what in this regard just now. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)Some long-awaited shifts in your status quo are being ac-tivated. Your sense of seriousness will be backed by deter-mination and discipline. Some may view your attitude and actions as a harsh over the next several weeks anyway. How to balance a loving approach regarding others with an other-wise strong intention to take decisive action is on your mind. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Getting the attention you believe you deserve is a central theme now. Approaching authority figures for favours and/or earned rewards is featured. An increase in your social in-teractions of late is a trend that will continue. How can you make the most of it? Your willingness to forge new alliances and cultivate friendships is extra important. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)You are in an adventurous yet philosophical and reflective mood. Paying attention to the details of the big picture is highlighted. Breaking through lines of resistance, whether within or without, is likely. Others may perceive your mood as edgy. You will do what you must to succeed. A playful and diplomatic approach will help a lot. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)A whole new level and mode of responsibility is rising. A pro-cess of securing plans and intentions finds you investigating and researching. Yet, you also feel social and playful, even ad-venturous and are determined to fit it all in. With your ambi-tions peaking now, you are willing to make any and all extra efforts to succeed. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Stimulating your network for the sake of both business and pleasure is a current focus. Reassessing how to both stimu-late your talents and increase your income or returns is on your mind. Making changes to feel more confident is in the mix. Your creative juices should be flowing now so make the most of it. Your will ad discipline to keep learning is the key.

“Valemount Saddle Club poker ride”The 2012 poker ride took place on Sept. 8, 2012.Above: Joette Starchuck and Heather Callaghan on the 2012 poker ride.

heart and soul of this building.” Ernie was involved in the construction of the Cariboos; as the electri-

cian, he points out, “the lights are still on.” He had the vision for the pond and sauna.

Post retirement Ernie’s continued to guide, but “It’s not easy to just step in when you’re only here a couple weeks,” like he was last winter. “You lose touch with the snow...unless you are here the whole season, and you’ve gone through all the storms.” The most important thing about guiding, he said, “You have to know when not to go.” Ernie does not plan to guide anymore.

To be a guide is hard work, said Ernie, “you have to be serious about it...There’s lots of distraction from the guests. It can perhaps get to your head a little bit, thinking you are a bit of a star, but you have to get all that stuff out of your head when you’re out there, because you have [the guests] lives in your hands.”

Charming and patient with an incredible sense of humour, Ernie’s been called a mentor and friend. The amount of runs or vertical feet he’s skied in his life is “not countable”, and if that wasn’t enough, he also plays a mean Alpenhorn.

“I’m just happy I’m still here,” Ernie says, “And can still come up here [to CMH], and I’m still enjoying it. The only thing I can’t believe is how quickly I got old.” But, for a fast living, 67-year-old mountain guide, he has a convincing twinkle in his eye that projects an ageless charm and handsomeness.

On Friday, September 7, the Roundhouse The-atre Society of McBride started its 2012 – 2013

season with the “Piano Man” – Ryan Langevin as Billy Joel in his fi rst set and closed with an Elton John rendition. The show was very entertaining

and the audience of over 90 enjoyed the classics of Billy Joel and Elton John performed by Lan-gevin and his group of three.

The remaining fall season will feature country rising star Stacey McKitrick who will be bringing her 5 piece band on Friday, October 5 and the fi nal fall show will be on November 15 showcas-ing blues guitarist Jim Byrnes along with Steve Dawson.

The spring season looks to be shaping up with an outstanding singer songwriter from the UK, a return of a popular country duo, a world-re-nowned banjo player and his fi ve piece band as well as a Blue Grass group with fi nal details and dates to be announced.

The Roundhouse Theatre Society is also inves-tigating a “Film Festival” for our community in the future – watch for details.
