Wildfi re branch to open near Merritt AirportAn estimated $4-million

wildfire training centre is slated to open on over 2.1 hect-ares just south of the Merritt Airport runway this spring, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations announced last Friday.

City of Merritt Mayor Susan Roline said the facility will bring nearly $48,000 per year in rev-enue, which is money that will take away from the taxpayer burden.

“This revenue is new to the city,” she said. “That was one of our goals, to bring in other sources of revenue to the City and not always having to raise taxes for things we need.”

City council decided last year to complete a subdivision, which included installing water and sewer, as well as finishing an access road that extends around the airport.

Eleven lots were created by subdividing the land, five of which are being rented for the training facility. Another lot is occupied by the Merritt Flying

Club.Money was borrowed to com-

plete the project, a debt that will be serviced through the rent, Roline said.

The City’s Economic Development Manager, James Umpherson, said the first occu-piers will likely attract more organizations.

“I think the development of the airport facility, particularly having an anchor tenant like [the Wildfire Management Branch], is significant in that it is going to show some direct and some indirect economic spinoffs,” he

said. “The direct benefits are that we now have a $4-million facility that they’re building and 57 employees coming to the City of Merritt and will be living in and buying homes in the com-munity.”

The facility will bring an estimated five full-time staff, 57 seasonal staff, four three-person initial attack crews and two 20-person sustained action unit crews.

The facility will provide class-room instruction and training that will simulate real-life condi-tions.

An annual “boot camp,” which was formerly at the Nicola Base, will be held at the new location.

The training facility will replace the Nicola Base and is an important move for the Merritt Fire Zone, Kamloops Fire Centre Manager Steve Schell said.

“When you’re working with aircraft, it’s nice to be right beside an airport because you can expand operations if you had to,” he said.

“There is room for bringing in more aircraft and parking aircraft closer to the airport and it’s just more accessible to our staff when they are responding to fires.”

Two helipads were situated at the Nicola Base, but the location couldn’t accommodate expansion.

“It only makes sense that if we can locate offices closer to airports, it is a wise thing to consider,” Schell said.

“This was one of the locations we looked at, and it just happened that the City of Merritt was able to work closely with us to explore the options and the size of the lot that we needed.”

The Ministry signed a 25-year lease with the City, with the option to extend that period for another 25 years.

The facility will amalgamate two func-tions into one building, which are the wildfire response and the train-ing centre.

Schell noted that

two groups of 75 stu-dents will train there, annually. Each session lasts for about six to seven weeks.

Wildfire Management Branch emergency response staff will also train at the facility.

The dry weather in Merritt makes it an ideal training area for

providing field exer-cises, he added.

The Ministry said in a release that the facility will improve fire response capa-bilities in the Merritt area.

Merritt has one of the largest fire sup-pression zones in the province.

The Wildfire

Management Branch responded to 107 fires in the 653 hectares so far this year.

The new building will be at 4476 Airport Road, which is just south of the Merritt Airport runway.

Wildfire crews are sent to over 2,000 wildfires in B.C. each year.

Around 92 per cent of the wildfires in the province are contained to fewer than four hectares.

The fire crews help with fuel management activities when they aren’t fighting fires.

The Merritt Fire Zone is one of seven areas in the Kamloops Fire Centre.

Waste Management Branch rejects City proposal

It was with great disappointment that members of City Council received a letter Oct. 12 from the Ministry of Environment’s Waste Management Branch, turning down their appli-cation to upgrade the Merritt sewage treatment plant and calling for a second look at using Collett Ranch property instead.

The City has already looked into using this property for waste infiltra-tion, but according to a letter written by City Clerk Leo den Boer, he has found that the entire Collett Ranch would have to be purchased in order to obtain the few acres needed.

Everyone Welcome!

Students at Merritt Central Elementary School lined up to try scraping a deer hide last Wednesday as part of the Nicola-Similkameen School District 58’s initiative to teach stu-dents about Aboriginal culture.

The workshop comes just a few days before the SD 58 signs an Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement with Aboriginal communities and the First Nations Education Council on Oct. 10.

SD 58 Superintendent Bob Peacock said the pro-gramming is adding to initiatives already started in light of the upcoming Enhancement Agreement signing.

The agreement is a program to enhance Aboriginal students’ achievements in schools by promoting language and culture, self-worth and identity, health and wellness, and academics.

“What we’ve always attempted to do is

to ensure that non-Aboriginal students have as much of an understanding about the Aboriginal culture and history of arts in the Valley as Aboriginal kids, so we try to develop programs that would teach the kids those types of things,” Peacock said. “Each of our elementary schools has an Aboriginal sup-port worker, so they do different activities with kids in the classrooms, whether it’s beadwork, pine needle baskets or different arts activities.”

Each class of Merritt Central’s kindergarten to Grade 7 students participated in the 20-minute hide-scraping workshop led by school district support worker Tim Manuel.

Manuel demon-strated how to scrape hair from the hide that had soaked overnight in potash before giving students their turns. Manuel said the hide-scraping demonstration is the first in a series throughout October about Aboriginal drum making.

“This is just the

start,” Manuel said. “It’s been going on, but I think we’re just elevating the amount of activities that we want to promote in the school district. We want to start creat-ing more awareness and educating a lot of the non-Native students as well about First Nations culture and about the different world views.”

Manuel said students at Merritt Central, Diamond Vale, and Nicola Canford elemen-tary schools will each end up with one com-pleted drum per about 20 students.

“Personally, I think this is long overdue,” Manuel said. “A lot of these kids are connect-ing with the culture, and who they are.”

Kayleigh Antoine-Peters was one Grade 6 student lined up to scrape the hide with her class, the 10th group to go through the work-shop so far that day.

“It’s originally done by a left deer rib,” Antoine-Peters said. “My mom and papa used to do 10 deer in one day and night. I’ve done it before. It’s fun.”

The Community Policing Office, Merritt Speed Watch, and the local school district are among the organizations team-ing up for a School Zone Safety Blitz, in a campaign to recognize those who are driving the speed limit around schools.

Once a person is identified as obeying the rules, they are stopped by police and then a child hands the driver a ticket for a free coffee.

“It’s a commu-nity initiative and I think having the kids involved is huge,” Community Policing Co-ordinator Kelly Donaldson said. “Especially in light of what happened last

week when the little girl was hit, I think this is timely more than anything.”

Today, the Bench Elementary school zone was expected to be the first area for positive ticketing, starting at around 10 a.m.

Other school zones designated for the tick-eting include Nicola Canford and Central Elementary.

“I think the weath-er is going to turn pretty quick here,” Donaldson said. “We’ll start off doing those three schools, see what the response is and then we’ll do the other schools in the spring.”

Donaldson said the area around Central has a lot of trucks and is not as pedestrian safe as she would like.

“There are kids that do go up and

down those roads all the time,” she said.

Nicola-Similkameen School District 58 Superintendent Bob Peacock said the initia-tive is designed to rec-ognize those who are obeying the law, rather than punish those who aren’t.

“They always rec-ognized the people who speed through by obviously giving them a speeding ticket,” he

said. “Their thought was that they would recognize people going the speed limit by giv-ing them a ticket with a thank-you on it. Tim Hortons has come on and are giving them free coffee cards.”

The blitz is also being facilitated by Tim Hortons, ICBC, the Merritt RCMP and the Central Interior Traffic Services.

Now that summer has given its last effort at heating the Nicola Valley and the leaves are start-ing to turn colour, it’s time to accept that win-ter is almost here.

For many, winter rep-resents some of the finer days of the year, whether

it means cross-country skiing on the Kane Valley trails, or the anticipa-tion of opening presents on Christmas Day — or whatever other holiday tradition one might cel-ebrate.

This season truly has much to offer in the Nicola Valley.

The Merritt Country Christmas Parade has been a landmark event in the community for many years and is recognized as one of the largest night parades in North America.

This area’s residents are very fortunate to have so many dedicated

volunteers who have committed their time to making the event such a success and it appears the event has a new sponsor who will orga-nize it this year.

Details about that will be released in the coming weeks.

Volunteers are also vital in maintaining the ski trails in the Kane Valley.

Thanks to mem-bers of the Nordic Ski Club, the 50 kilometres of trails are regularly groomed, and the entire area is maintained.

But this is just a sample of the many vol-

unteers throughout the community that bring out the best of what Merritt has to offer.

The mild climate here also makes it the perfect place to enjoy the out-doors.

After experiencing winters in the northern regions of Canada, it quickly becomes appar-ent that outdoor recre-ation isn’t a great option on most days. While the ponds are frozen for hockey and the hills are covered with snow for skiing, the temperature is often too cold to enjoy the outdoors.

The Nicola Valley

offers amazing lakes for ice fishing, hills for ski-ing and snowmobiling, winter hunting, and all this in temperatures right around freezing.

The ice on lakes becomes solid overnight and then the temperature warms enough in the day so that a person feels comfortable dropping a line into the frigid fishing water.

So despite a few grumbles that might be heard from many lovers of summer, it’s important to recognize that Merritt truly has one of the best winter climates in Canada.

HERALD OPINION

Skills training ‘our mission’

VICTORIA – My column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging.

That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject.

Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees.

Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announc-ing equipment upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been “pounding away at them for eight months” about freezing advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mis-take and predicts the government will reverse it soon.

“So I think, if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a govern-ment, if we’re elected, this is the mis-sion: to start to address the skills short-age,” he told me.

In his speech to the recent munici-pal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system.

Since the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said.

Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business.

Speaking to the NDP executive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-union Independent Contractors and Businesses’ Association, as the symbol of the trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a differ-ent take.

The 37 per cent figure is mislead-ing, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union con-trolled.

Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta claims a better completion rate because they don’t start counting until the second year. And when Dix touts Alberta’s “mandatory” trade sys-tem, Hochstein said he means returning to a sys-tem where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade.

“What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training system of the entire construction industry,” Hochstein said. “So multi-skilling, multi-tasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and it’s stuck in the old craft system of training.”

The marketplace has spoken on that restric-tive system, he said, and unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll.

Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades. But when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two appren-tices per journeyman means another one can’t be hired.

Dix agreed with me that the public school system has over-emphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other skilled workers that are in short supply. As B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, trades-men themselves often don’t encourage their kids, because they’ve been told all their lives that they are “tool monkeys” in a dead-end job.

And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe.

Dear Editor:

We need to pay more atten-tion to the potential results of decriminalization. Were we to outright decriminalize pos-session, it would increase the number of private growers, and it would remain nontax-able due to the under-the-table attitude. However, you’d see a lot more of these private grow-ers working by and large for themselves, and people they trust, and engaging in the crim-inal acts of selling; the large-scale trafficking would remain in the hands of the criminal element. Following so far?

For-profit grow-ops cater largely to exporting, and roughly 1.315 million pounds

(or about 600 metric tons, 600,000 kg) is exported yearly.

That is a large volume, which is somehow making its way out of B.C., into the U.S. and other markets. By decrimi-nalizing marijuana, we will see a short-term boom in mari-juana in BC, but over the long term, less and less money will be finding its way into pockets of organized criminals and gangs in B.C. itself, and sale of marijuana here by gangs will begin declining sharply.

This will free up an ever-increasing amount of resources for police, particularly in track-ing the very people responsible for the export of marijuana from B.C.

Those who don’t want to

smoke pot don’t have to, won’t have to.

Pot will share a couple similar restrictions to cigarettes (no smoking for minors, in businesses, and so on), alcohol (must be sober to drive, no smoking in public places, not to be used or present in busi-nesses), and will still not be available over a counter. We hold people responsible and accountable for their choices and actions in most everything with a system of law and regu-lation. I think it’s time we rede-fine where marijuana stands in our legal system, and to place it among alcohol, tobacco, and Salvia.

With the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council turning 30 this year, the group is pre-paring for two celebra-tory events.

“We are really happy that we’ve been able to survive for so long, especially when it’s been difficult for all organizations to get volunteers and to be financially sustain-able,” said Arts Council President Christine Dooley, whose been a member since 2005.

“There will be a gala and a dance work-shop to celebrate.”

The Council has applied for a $5,000 B.C. Government Community Gaming Grant from which they intend to host a gala.

Dooley expects a result of their grant application to be announced in the next several weeks.

“We still want to have the gala,” she said.

“Even if we don’t get the grant, we’ll just have to scale back a bit.”

The first night is

scheduled to feature a Night for the Arts showcase of the various talented artists in the Nicola Valley, both past and present. The eve-ning will also feature an acknowledgment of supporters in the arts.

The second night is set to feature a free dance workshop for people of all ages.

More details are set to be released, and the scale of the celebration depends on whether funding is approved. No dates have been set.

“If it’s getting late in the year, then we will be having it this spring,” Dooley noted.

The Arts Council has worked since its creation to develop cre-

ativity and art through-out the Nicola Valley.

Initiatives include special events like the annual concert series, community concerts and exhibits at the Courthouse Art Gallery.

In its 30th year, the Arts Council is aiming to increase its participa-tion in “promoting and fostering the arts.”

The annual Community Concert Series is set to begin on Oct. 12, and will be hosted at the Merritt Civic Centre at 1950 Mamette Ave.

The acts that are expected include comedian Lorne Elliott (Oct. 12), musician John Lee Sanders (Dec.

10), musical duo Carli and Julie Kennedy (Feb. 28, 2013) and the Vancouver Piano Ensemble (April 6, 2013).

Season tickets cost $80 for an adult and $60 for seniors and students.

Single tickets cost $22 for adults and $17 for seniors, with the exception of John Lee Sanders which costs $25 for all ticket types.

Tickets can be purchased at Black’s Pharmacy, the Baillie House or by emailing Chelsea at [email protected].

People wanting

to volunteer can also email the address.

An individual want-ing to become a mem-ber of the Arts Council pays $10 per year.

A group member pays $20, corporate membership categories cost $25, $50, $75 and $100 for bronze, silver, gold and platinum, respectively.

A lifetime mem-ber pays $250. Each membership category includes voting privi-leges, a monthly arts events calendar and invitations, for example.

When she’s not taking care of patients as a nurse at a local hospital, Merritt’s own Nicki Beverley takes care of business at various rally events across Canada and the U.S.

Several years ago, the 24-year-old would-be driver got talking to some of the competitors at the annual Pacific Forest Rally in her hometown. After watching the drivers “come around the corners and go over the cattle guards ridiculously fast,” she was hooked on the sport.

“My first real rally was

in 2005, when I competed as a teenager in a TSD rally in Kamloops as a novice,” Beverley said. “I did terribly, but had the time of my life and it was a great introduction to the sport.”

Beverley could not afford to actually compete in those days, so she volunteered with the Westcoast Rally Association and worked every position — from marshalling to stage commander — to learn as much as possible about her new passion.

From there, Beverley

moved on to the organization-al side of rally competitions and helped to run many of the regular Westcoast rallies — Heart of Darkness, Mountain Trials, Big White Rallycross and PFR — always with the ultimate view of competing.

The opportunity to actu-ally compete in a performance stage rally came at the 2011 PFR, and Beverley has never looked back. In the past year, she has also competed in the long, cold Alcan 5000 Rally from Seattle, Wash. to Anchorage, Alaska, as well

as the Baie des Chaleurs in Quebec.

With a solid season behind her, Beverley says she feels very comfortable in a rally car and “loves racing in Merritt where the roads are incredibly challenging compared to other venues in Canada.”

The 2012 Pacific Forest Rally, which will be held on Oct. 12-13 in the Nicola Valley, will mark the 57th rally that Beverley has attended in one capacity or another, and the 9th stage rally in which she has been a co-driver.

ARIES - Thinking outside of the box is what sets you apart from most.

When you are put to the test, you seldom fail to come through. This is a good selling point with potential employers.

TAURUS - Taurus, some people just don’t understand you, and that is

OK with you. It can be good to be a bit mysteri-ous, especially when it comes to romance.

GEMINI - Analyzing spend-ing and other financial concerns

should be at the top of your priority list. It is always a good idea to keep on top of where your money is going.

CANCER - Communication is key if you want to make real

progress. Actions can be misconstrued if you don’t accompany them with a thorough explanation.

LEO - Others could find your enthusiasm infec-tious this week,

Leo. Don’t be surprised if you have coworkers signing up to be on your team. At home you’re much more mellow.

VIRGO - Achieving your toughest goal won’t be easy. Those who survive

the challenges become stronger overall. This week you are certainly put to the test.

LIBRA - Big plans are in place, get excited about the prospect for some change. Make

a few adjustments each day so the transition will go smoothly.

SCORPIO - Don’t let others underes-timate your abili-ties. Once you set

your mind to something, it is very hard to redirect you. Capitalize on your work dedication.

SAGITTARIUS - You are ready to pull out all of the stops in the romance

department. Whether you’re single or attached, focus on ways to make your partner feel very special.

CAPRICORN - A few things have gone wrong lately, but the good thing is you

haven’t let them get you down. Good things cer-tainly come to those who are patient.

AQUARIUS - Take inventory of your belongings and determine if

there’s anything you can donate. You can clear out clutter and do something positive at the same time.

PISCES - Things seem out of sorts, but you haven’t been able to fig-ure out what is off-

kilter. Leo may shed light on the situation.
