Encouraged by its success in finding min-eral deposits, the B.C. Liberal government is extending aerial geological surveys to search for water in the natural gas region of British Columbia.
Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced a $3-million extension of prov-incial funding for non-profit research organization GeoscienceBC at the recent Minerals North conference in Vanderhoof.
The economy of the small community west of Prince George is historically based
on farming and forest products, but one of B.C.’s largest gold mines is in development near there.

Rollover incidentShortly after 3 p.m.
on July 6, 100 Mile RCMP and emergency crews responded to a single-vehicle incident on Highway 24 near the intersection of Johns Road.
The female driver of a Ford Expedition left the roadway and went into the ditch. Both occupants of the vehicle had minor injuries and were transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance.
The vehicle had extensive damage and was towed from the scene.
Speed and liquor are not believed to be fac-
tors in this collision.
No one missingShortly after 11 p.m.
on July 5, 100 Mile RCMP and emergency crews responded to a single-vehicle incident on Highway 97 near the Lac la Hache transfer station.
The driver of a 2007 Dodge pickup truck left the road, hit an embankment and rolled several times.
The male driver was helped from the vehicle by passers-by. He was assessed at scene and transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance.
While at the scene,
the driver indicated another person had been in the vehicle. The area was searched until that information was confirmed to be false.
Speed was a factor in this collision. The investigation into this matter is continuing.
Driving issuesThere were 12 driving
complaints during the past week, and there was
a considerable amount of traffic enforcement conducted.
Of note, Traffic Services dealt with an excessive speed inci-dent on Highway 97. A Lower Mainland driver was operating his vehi-cle at 61km/h over the posted speed limit.
He received a vio-lation ticket and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

BC Hydro is advis-ing 100 Mile House residents that crews will be replacing power poles in 100 Mile House during the next several months.
The work is part of BC Hydro’s ongoing maintenance program that will see the replace-ment of more than 10,000 wooden utility poles this year through-out the province.
BC Hydro maintains 900,000 wooden poles as part of its electricity distribution system that delivers power to homes
and businesses through-out the province. More than 20 per cent of BC Hydro’s wooden poles have been in service for more than 40 years.
In total, BC Hydro’s system includes 56,000 kilometres of distribu-tion lines.
Over time, wooden poles weaken due to adverse weather, insects and wildlife. BC Hydro regularly inspects the old poles to determine their strength.
Once a pole reaches end-of-life, BC Hydro installs new poles to
improve the safety and reliability of the electric-al system. The lifespan of a power pole is 40 to 50 years on average.
Pole replacement may require BC Hydro or its contractors to discon-nect power. Crews take special care to avoid any unnecessary impacts to customers.
However, if these maintenance outages need to be scheduled for safety reasons, BC Hydro or its contractors will let customers know in-person, or by mail or phone.
A couple of rollovers keep 100 Mile RCMP members busy

Male� cent, a beautiful pure-hearted young woman lives an idyllic life in a peaceful forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Male� cent rises to become the land’s � ercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal, becoming “The Mistress of All Evil.” Bent on revenge, Male� cent places a curse upon the King’s newborn infant Aurora that upon her sixteenth birthday she shall prick her � nger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep like death. Over the next sixteen years, Male� cent comes to realize that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the kingdom and perhaps to Male� cent’s true happiness as well. She befriends the princess in hopes of keeping her away from the curse she placed upon her.

The Master Garlic Chef Recipe Competition is back this year and organiz-ers are now looking for recipes.
This year will mark the Eighth Annual Cook-Off and the cash prizes are $1,000, $500 and $250 for first-, second- and third-place respectively.
“If you love to cook with garlic, you should check this out,” fes-tival director Jeanette McCrea says, adding

Three of the recipes will be selected by an independent panel, and the three recipe finalists will then be invited to participate in the Cook-Off on Aug. 24 at the Garlic Festival.
“This event is one of the fun highlights of the festival and always attracts a crowd of interested foodies and garlic lovers.”

Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department members and Jeanette and Larry McCrea were busy on June 22, as it took about seven hours to clear and sort lumber from the picnic table shelter, which collapsed in a wind storm at the Garlic Festival site north of Lac la Hache, June 4. The structure will be rebuilt using new plans and it’s hoped it will be finished in time for the Garlic Festival, Aug. 23-24.

BC Ferries has awarded a $165-million contract to Remontowa Shipbuilding of Gdansk, Poland to build three new intermediate class ves-sels for service on the British Columbia coast.
Two will replace the 49-year-old Queen of Burnaby on the Comox-Powell River run and the 50-year-old Queen of Nanaimo on the Tsawwassen-Southern Gulf Islands route. The third will be used for extra capacity in peak and shoulder seasons for the Southern Gulf Islands.
The first new vessel is scheduled to be delivered by August 2016, with the second by October 2016 and the third by February 2017. They will be equipped to use diesel and liquefied natural gas, a first for the BC Ferries fleet.
Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyard was shortlisted along with four foreign builders, but withdrew after winning the contract to build BC Ferries’ new cable ferry to serve Denman Island. With that $15 million project and a share of a major federal contract, Seaspan didn’t have the capacity to bid.

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk violated spending rules as a university board member in 2010-12 and he should not be allowed to continue as the cab-inet minister responsible for enforcing those rules, NDP Leader John Horgan said on June 19.
Horgan was com-menting on the findings of an investigation into the hiring of two senior executives of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Virk should resign from cabinet or be fired by Premier Christy Clark, he added.
The review found that extra “consulting fees” of $50,000 paid to Kwantlen president Alan Davis and for-mer vice-president Anne Lavack were not
reported as part of their compensation, and were paid separately to get around compensation limits when they were being hired.
Horgan said Virk, an RCMP inspector in Langley before running in the 2013 B.C. elec-tion, knows he broke the rules.
“He signed off on a contract for $50,000 with no deliverables to that institution as a pre-employment con-tract, violating the rules that he was sworn to uphold as the person responsible to that insti-tution,” Horgan said.
On June 18, Virk spoke to reporters when the report from assistant deputy min-ister Rob Mingay was released. He called it “a humbling moment” and said he was not properly informed on the finan-
cial reporting rules for hiring university exec-utives at the time. Virk vowed to make sure cur-rent directors of public institutions are properly trained.
“In some ways, I almost feel a little bit let down I didn’t have the fullest information at my hand, or the fullest of training as a volunteer board member.”
Finance Minister Mike de Jong ordered the review after the extra payments were raised in the British Columbia legislature by NDP advanced education critic David Eby. The results are “troubling,” de Jong said.
The government’s Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC) set sal-ary ranges for Lavack’s position at $125,000 to $175,000. When Lavack was hired in
2011, she received the maximum salary, plus a $20,000-a-year research allowance and a $50,000 “consulting fee” before starting work that was not reported to PSEC.
In the case of Davis, a Kwantlen official’s 2011 e-mail that was copied to Virk inquires about paying the new presi-dent an extra $100,000 above PSEC guidelines, from the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Foundation.
In a later e-mail, Virk wrote, “our advice at present is to hold off as the risk factors are very high.”
A $50,000 consult-ing fee was later given to Davis, in addition to his $225,000 salary and $35,000 to relocate from New York State.
Horgan wants Amrik Virk’s resignation over payments

Anyone planning to go camping this sum-mer should remember provincial rules about campfire safety.
Although large-scale open burning is now prohibited in many regions of the province, small and contained campfires are currently permitted in all six of British Columbia’s fire centres.
Detailed informa-tion about burning restrictions in B.C. is available on the Wildfire Management Branch (WMB) website at http://bcwildfire.ca/hpr-Scripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp.
Campfire tips• Always find out if
any burning prohibi-tions are in effect. Check the WMB website at www.bcwildfire.ca.
• If campfires are allowed in your area, bring a shovel or keep at least eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish your camp-fire.
• Campfires cannot be larger than 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in diameter.
• Do not light a camp-fire or keep it burning in windy conditions. Weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to combustible material and start new fires.
• You must maintain a one-metre fireguard around the campfire. This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kin-dling, etc.) have been removed.
• Never leave a camp-fire unattended.
• Make sure the
campfire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Ensure that ciga-rette butts are properly extinguished and are not tossed away carelessly.
• You may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs if your negligence results in a wildfire.
So far this season, the Wildfire Management Branch has responded to more than 300 wildfires, and the majority of them were caused by people. Every human-caused fire is preventable.
This time of year, before wildfire risks increase significantly throughout the prov-ince, is an ideal time for individual homeowners and communities to take simple steps to reduce the potential impacts of wildfire. Be proactive, be practical and be FireSmart.
More information
about fire prevention and the FireSmart pro-gram can be found online at: http://bcwild-f i re . c a / Pre ve nt i on /firesmart.htm.
FAST bytes• Anyone found in
contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, or if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sen-tenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be sub-ject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.
• To report a wildfire or an unattended camp-fire, call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or call *5555 on your cell phone.
For the latest infor-mation on fire activity, conditions and prohibi-tions, visit the WMB website at www. bcwild-fire.ca.

Thanks to finan-cial support from the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Legacy Fund, as well as a gener-ous donation from the Friends of Barkerville and Cariboo Historical Society, Barkerville Historic Town cut the ribbon on a newly restored outdoor exhib-it – the Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit (CCGHP) – on the July 1 weekend.
The exhibit, which highlights the gold mining efforts of two separate placer oper-ations, the Canadian claim – a typical 1860s cabin and shaft set up for underground dig-gings – and the Gunn pit – later-century hydraul-ic process involving long pipes and large water monitors for blasting surface gravels through sluice boxes – was ori-ginally built by the Friends of Barkerville in the early-1980s.
After nearly 30 years of wear and tear, includ-ing wintertime snowfalls averaging 25 feet per season, Barkerville real-ized it was time to bring a fresh focus to the dis-play.
During the National Historic Site’s 150th anniversary in 2012, the Barkerville Heritage Trust partnered with the Friends of Barkerville and Cariboo Goldfields Historical Society to begin restoration
work on the CCGHP. Soon afterwards, the Department of Canadian Heritage and its Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Legacy Fund was on board and two years later the fully-restored and improved exhib-it officially opened on Dominion Day (Canada Day) in 2014.
“As we approach Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, our govern-ment wants Canadians to be able to explore and learn about their history, as well as the import-ant events – like British Columbia’s Cariboo Gold Rush – that have shaped it,” said Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Minister Shelly Glover.
“That is why we are pleased to have sup-ported the restoration of Barkerville’s Canadian Claim, which will give residents and visitors a chance to explore the region’s mining heritage.”
The CCGHP exhibit in Barkerville is open for interactive view-ing throughout the heritage site’s regular operating season. In addition to the cabin and shaft display and hydraulic mining setup, there is also a series of interconnected view-ing platforms, complete with interpretive sign-age, placed strategically along the hillside that allow visitors – through several flights of hand-hewn stairs – to
experience Barkerville in an entirely new way: from overhead.
“For me, one of the more exciting things about our newly-restored exhibit is the opportunity to view the entire town of Barkerville from the top-down,” said James Douglas, Barkerville’s
manager of Visitor Experiences.
“It’s a glorious way to see the tremendous scope of our site from several different angles, and will no doubt be a boon for amateur photographers and any visitor who wants to see Barkerville in a whole
new way.” For more information
about The Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit, or any of Barkerville’s exhib-its and displays, contact Barkerville Historic Town at 1-888-994-3332, or e-mail [email protected].
