Nothing routine about this fi re practice, including the fact that RCMP Constable Simon Bentley lit it.

Bentley has been studying fi re investigation, and has been the fi re investigator at the Valemount detach-ment for approximately two years. This assignment included lighting small fi res, and taking pictures of smoke patterns.

Enter the Valemount Volunteer Fire Rescue Depart-ment. Known only to two or three offi cers, the page that came in just after 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25, was a planned response. However, to the rest of the men and women who serve on the team, it was a real emergency, with a real structure fi re in progress.

Upon arrival at the scene, everyone was informed that this was the practice for this Thursday evening. Yes, it was a real structure, and yes it was on fi re, and yes, it burned to the ground, but in a very carefully planned, and safe way.

Planned or not, the heat, and smoke from the fl ames could be easily felt by everyone, as the structure on Main Street slowly at fi rst, succumbed to the fl ames. Once going however, it was amazing to see how quickly the building was reduced to a pile of glowing embers. Equally impressive was the fi re team. While watching this calm and confi dent well-led team, one knew the town was well served. The fi re crew were able to use var-ious pieces of equipment, and practice basics as well as some advanced techniques in an intense, real training environment. The team here in Valemount take pride in serving our community, and many of them bring skills, experience and equipment to the team far be-yond what is normally available in a small town.

LOCAL NEWS

Time: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. When: Sunday, November 4, 2012

We will be making electrical system improvements in Valemount and outlying areas on November 4, 2012. To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately 4 to 6 hours, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The area affected is all of Valemount and outlying areas. Areas inside the McBride Diesel Generation zone will experience a short outage at the beginning and end of the scheduled Valemount outage.

To prepare for this interruption and protect your equipment from damage, please unplug all electronics, such as TVs, PVRs, DVD players and computers. Please also turn off all lights, electric heaters and major appliances, such as your clothes or dishwasher, dryer or oven.

For the first hour after the power comes back on, please plug in or turn on only what you really need. This will help ensure the electrical system does not get overloaded.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will restore your power as soon as we can.

Prepare for outages and stay informed by visiting bchydro.com/outages or bchydro.com/mobile from your handheld device. Please call 1 888 POWERON (1 888 769 3766) if you experience any electrical difficulties or for more information.

Few events hosted by CBC Radio are as eagerly anticipated or as warmly re-ceived as the readings of A Christmas Carol. The readings bring together

the pleasure of hearing a good story, the joy of music of the season, and the inspired energy of those who want to make their community a better place. CBC radio personalities travel to communities across British Columbia read-ing the story. For many years, Jeannette Lorenz has listened to the reading and has thought to herself, “What a bummer! Nobody ever does that here.”

Once she became administrator of the Valemount Museum, she recog-nized an opportunity and with the permission of the board of directors, Lorenz placed a call to CBC Daybreak North and set up an appointment to meet with Robert Doane, co-host and Associate Producer of the show, to discuss the possibility of the radio hosts coming to Valemount. While in Prince George in March of 2011, she was able to meet with him and get the ball rolling! She came home equipped with everything she needed to make this a successful community event; the script, a How-to Guide, posters, a list of helpful hints, to name a few, and now her work had really begun!

Lorenz’s excitement was contagious and soon the reading became a joint ven-ture of The Valemount Historical Society, Valemount Public Library, and Vale-mount Arts and Cultural Society. Lorenz has been working passionately and dil-igently over the past few months to assure that all the tasks are being addressed.

To draw audiences in, it was recommended that each community recruit some of their own celebrities to participate in the reading. Mayor Andru Mc-Cracken, Dr Herman Keyter, and Donalda Beeson and two radio person-alities, Betty Trumpener, co-host of Daybreak North, and journalist Marissa Harvey make up the cast.

Local harpist, Doreen Beck will be providing the music. The host for the evening is Dan Lawless of Valemount Secondary School.

Admission is by cash donation to help offset the travel expenses for the CBC personalities who visit the communities on their personal time. At-tendees are also encouraged to bring a non-perishable donation for the lo-cal food bank.

Since 1990, A Christmas Carol has benefitted shelters, food banks, librar-ies and hospitals across Canada, and brought joy to the communities that support them. Proceeds raised range from $400 in small communities to over $8,000 at big city productions and they all add up! Across Canada, an average of 20,000 people attend readings of A Christmas Carol each year and together raise over $200,000 every holiday season!

Moving any hazardous substance is intrinsical-

ly dangerous and of obvious concern to our environment.

As pointed out to us re-cently, the 59-year-old Trans Mountain Pipeline, which travels through Jas-per National Park, goes near or under the Macken-zie, Fraser, Columbia and Thompson Rivers. A cata-strophic environmental event can be easily imag-

ined, as pointed out by the scores of protests being staged around British Columbia in the past month.

The regulator of the Trans Mountain Pipeline sys-tem, the National Energy Board (NEB), has been re-ceiving spill reports since 1961. According to Kinder Morgan, in 51 years there have been approximately 78 spills on the Trans Mountain Pipeline system. They further claim 70 per cent of past spills along their pipeline have occurred at pump stations or terminals. The remaining 30 per cent have occurred along the pipeline with 16 incidents related to the release of crude oil from the pipeline. Eight of these spills exceeded 1.5 square metres. Kinder Morgan claims none of the spills occurred in open water.

One of the largest spills occurred between Burnaby and the Westridge Terminal in July 2007 when a third party contractor struck and ruptured the pipeline spilling approximately 1,400 barrels of oil into the surrounding residential area and waters.

In a recent conversation with Carey Johannesson, regulatory and land lead for Kinder Morgan Canada, he indicated the Trans Mountain Pipeline system is regularly inspected and maintained. Pipe inspection tools are used to detect corrosion or other defects. Although rare, if necessary the pipe is replaced and re-coated. Other mitigating factors in the construc-tion of the pipeline is the use of control valves both before and after key areas such as river crossings along with pipe reinforcement.

Currently, the need to transport large volumes of petroleum products over vast distances shows no signs of diminishing. Somehow these dangerous products, one way or another, will be transported to their destinations. In the case of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system, it is highly unlikely the existing pipe will be ripped out of the ground to ensure our envi-ronment is safe. Regardless of whether the proposed twinning project is approved, the existing line will very likely continue to operate. Twinning the existing line to meet customer demands seems much safer than attempting to build a brand new pipeline over untouched and sensitive ground.

No system can be guaranteed to be safe. Until technology is able to break through petroleum’s control of the energy market and offer a safe alter-native method of powering vehicles and machines, there is little choice but consider the level of risk in proposed projects. The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been in place for 59 years and has a record of safety, while certainly not perfect, this record can be used to

gauge impact.Ultimately, if we want to mitigate or remove the risk

of any environmental mishap or catastrophe, then an alternative to fossil fuels needs to be found. Only when the demand for dangerous and harmful prod-ucts are removed will all pipelines finally be deacti-vated and our environment truly safe.

McBride positive thinkingDear Editor,

First of all I would like to congratulate the Village of McBride for their positive thinking and work ethic.

Many years ago I lived in McBride and now we are seriously thinking of returning to retire in the beautiful Robson Valley.

We have many artefacts we’d consider donating to the McBride Museum but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a museum large enough to ac-commodate what is already available.

It would be absolutely wonderful if the village could purchase the building on Main Street that would adequately house both a much-needed Li-brary and Museum combined.

This building is seen from Highway 16 and would be a real asset for many reasons as far as inviting tourists to the town. The businesses would all pros-per because people spend money when they come into towns instead of passing through.

In our area I have personally acquired many gov-ernment grants, both federally and provincially that I’m quite certain the Library and Museum combined could tap into for the purchase, renova-tions and upkeep of the proposed building.

Should we decide to return to the McBride area this building would be a real plus as it would be in attracting other retirees.

May the mayor & council look favourably on this project.

Audrey Y. Read – Endako, B.C.


LocaL News

Canada’s worst driver may be from McBride.Kevin Simmons, who is originally from the Lower Mainland but has been

living in McBride for about a year, made his debut on the popular TV show Canada’s Worst Driver earlier this week. The show, now in its eighth season, is one of two of the highest-rated programs on Discovery Channel. The series is produced by Proper Television and is based on the original Britain’s Worst Driver series.

The first episode of season eight of Canada’s Worst Driver, which sees eight of the most challenged motorists from across the country enrolled at the show’s Driver Rehabilitation Centre in Ontario, was aired on Monday, October 29 at 7 p.m. on Discovery Channel.

In this season, drivers, who have to hand in their driver’s licence at the begin-ning of the show, will have to compete in challenges designed to improve their driving skills and master tricky urban driving situations in order to graduate and to not be named Canada’s Worst Driver.

Simmons, who was nominated for the show by his partner Lenny Stone, was born with a condition that resulted in permanent blindness in his right eye.

“As a result I must wear a prosthetic in that eye,” said Simmons in his audition video.

“I am also required to wear glasses as I have lost some sight in my left eye.”

“Kevin is pretty horrendous,” said Stone about his partner’s driving abilities.In his audition video, Simmons admits to having a tendency to veer to the

left when driving.“When driving in two lanes, I can’t tell if I am in one or two lanes,” he said.Simmons was suspended from driving for 90 days after receiving two speed-

ing tickets.“ICBC deemed me an unsafe driver,” he said in his audition video.“They just thought I was drunk, or driving while intoxicated.”Stone applied online at the end of March for Simmons to be on the show.

Several phone interviews followed. In mid-May, one of the producers of the show flew out to Prince George, British Columbia, for the audition part. The audition was filmed in Prince George because it is about city driving, said Stone.

“There’s really nothing challenging in McBride,” he said.“We were up there for two complete days.”Simmons said he’d never driven in Prince George before the audition.In his audition video, Simmons confessed that he has backed into other ve-

hicles, hit a fence, a concrete barrier as well as various other things.“If he doesn’t get the help now, I think it is just progressively going to get

worse,” said Stone in the audition video.“His depth perception is definitely affected.”Stone and Simmons found out about a week after the audition that they

would be on the show. Producers of the show received over 1,000 submissions from across Canada.

“I was surprised that I got picked because there’s a lot of bad drivers out there, and some are probably worse than me,” said Simmons.

The show was filmed at Dunnville airport in Toronto from June 15 to July 9. Stone said everything was paid for, including lost wages, hotel, flight, as well as receiving a per diem for eating meals.

“There was two weeks of filming, then a week off, then another week of film-ing,” said Simmons.

“We spent all day on the set, filming eight to ten hours. It was some pretty long, intensive days. It was nerve-wracking. It was also very hot, about 40 de-grees.”

There will be a total of eight episodes aired, but Stone and Simmons are bound by contract and are not allowed to reveal the outcome of the show.

“It was a pretty life-changing experience,” said Stone, who’s seen pretty much every show over the past eight years.

“Not only did Kevin get some help that he needed, we also gained some life-long friends. The whole experience was phenomenal. It’s kind of a surreal experience, sitting in the vehicle knowing what is going to happen. The challenges are made to help

people with all aspects of their driving. The people on the show are not acting. It’s real. That’s the way they drive.”

Simmons said the whole experience was definitely interesting.“I don’t know if the show has helped me (improve his driving),” he said.“I don’t think it’s gotten any better, but also not any worse.”“There’s some very interesting moments when sitting in a car with Kevin,”

admits Stone, adding that in general he is the one driving.“Kevin does recognize that he has a problem though. He was happy just to be

able to get some help that he needed.”Stone and Simmons moved to Burnaby, British Columbia, at the beginning

of this week as some opportunities had come up for them.“There will also be lots of big city driving for Kevin,” said Stone with a laugh.

Living in rural areas, it happens quite often that we as motorists have to share the road not only

with motorbikers, bicyclists and pedestrians, but occasionally also with horseback riders.

Being both a motorist as well as a horseback rid-er, I’ve occasionally seen conflicts between the two.

While I would rather not ride on roads, it is some-times necessary to ride a short stretch along a road or cross a major highway to get to a trail.

According to the BC Motor Vehicle Act, horseback riders as well as someone driving a horse hitched to a wagon or cart have the same rights and are sub-ject to the same rules as the driver of a motor vehi-cle or a bicyclist. However, like most riders, I much prefer to ride on the shoulder as far away from the driving lane as possible, both as a safety precaution as well as courtesy to other road users.

It is our job as riders to make sure our horses are well trained and under control and have been care-fully introduced to the sights and sounds of traffic. However, it is important to remember that even the calmest horse can spook due to a variety of reasons.

While horses have long been domesticated, they retain many of the instincts of their wild ancestors. Horses, just like deer, are prey animals that rely on their flight response for survival and therefore may react instinctively to sudden noises and move-ments or unfamiliar sights and sounds by spooking or running away. That’s why almost any horse can be unpredictable and should be approached with caution on the road.

Motorists can help keep horses and their riders safe by passing slow and wide, and not making sud-den or loud noises such as honking your horn. If safe to do so, motorists should pass the horse and rider using the opposite traffic lane, or at least part of it, and be prepared to stop quickly if necessary. Never brake or accelerate suddenly around a horse as that may scare the horse due to sudden noise or gravel being thrown up.

On the other hand, being too quiet can pose a problem as well. This often happens in the case of a fast, but silently approaching bicyclist, who is often hunched over the handle bar. This can easily panic a horse as it may look like a crouched mountain lion stalking its prey.

So for bicyclists, as well as pedestrians, it is impor-tant to remember to speak up – not yell – when ap-proaching a horse. This lets the horse know that you are a human, and not a predator. If the horse seems nervous, or if the rider asks, it’s courteous to stop or to dismount and walk past the horse. As a pedes-trian, make sure the horse sees you and don’t step off the trail and hide behind a tree, as to the horse this looks as if you are planning an attack. If you are walking your dog, make sure your dog is on a leash for your own and your dog’s safety, as a frightened horse can kick without warning. Keep a safe dis-tance from the horse, at least a horse-length.

Remember, horses aren’t machines. They are large, powerful prey animals and a collision with one may not only cause injury or even death to the horse and rider, but to the occupants of a vehicle as well. Responsibility lies with both motorist and rider, so let’s share the road safely.

Valemount Community Church is hosting the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Cam-

paign this year on Saturday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the old Sport and Clothing Store on 5th Avenue. If you can’t fill a box, you can still donate items to go towards a box. Everyone is welcome to be a part of making Christmas a little bit brighter for children around the world. If you have any regular sized shoe boxes, you can donate them for use. A small donation to help cover the shipping and handling fees is appreciated.

There will be coffee and snacks, so drop by and check things out. Put this date on your calendar and plan to be a part of this exciting event. If you can’t make it out on that day and want to donate contact Marian Plummer at 250-566-4807 to ar-range for pick up.

Samaritan’s Purse Canada is a non-denomina-tional evangelical Christian organization that has been providing spiritual and physical aid to hurt-

ing people around the world since 1970. Opera-tion Christmas Child Shoe Box Campaign, which provides help and joy to vulnerable children, was started in 1990. In 1993, Operation Christmas Child grew and was adopted by Samaritan’s Purse. Each shoe box gift is filled with hygiene items, school supplies, toys and candy, and is given to children regardless of gender, race, religion or age.

To date, Operation Christmas Child has collect-ed and distributed over 94 million shoe box gifts worldwide. In 2011, Canada collected 672,274 boxes and Valemount is proud to have contrib-uted 40 boxes to that number. Boxes collected from Canada in 2012 will be distributed to chil-dren in Third World countries including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Nica-ragua, Paraguay, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

How to pack your Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes:

Packing a shoe box is relatively easy and fun, but there are some rules that must be adhered to.

Most collection centres have a supply of Christ-mas shoe boxes, but you can use a regular-sized shoe box or shoe box-sized plastic box. If wrap-ping your shoe box, please wrap the lid separately.

Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.

Fill your shoe box with a well-balanced variety of items from the following categories:• School Supplies - Items such as pencils,

pens, pencil crayons, note pads, and pic-ture books

• Toys & Other Gifts - Items such as stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, t-shirts, socks and candy (loose, individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag)

• Hygiene Items - Please place soap in a seal-able bag

• Personal Note - Include a personal note and/or a photo in your shoe box

Unfortunately, there is also a list of prohibited items, which will be removed at the collection

centre in Calgary. Customs regulations prohibit:• Toothpaste• Food and any chewy, crumbly or soft candy,

including gum, or used items. • Playing cards (other card games such as

UNO are allowed) • Liquids or items that could leak, melt,

freeze, or break such as shampoo, creams, lip balm, bath gels, mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoe box)

• Items that can scare or harm a child such as war-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc.

Using a backpack instead of a shoe box be-comes problematic and is discouraged. For many of these boys and girls, the gift of a

shoe box is the first gift they have ever received, so give generously, pack it with love and know that you are making a child somewhere very happy.

During the regularly scheduled council meeting of Oct. 9, and with clari-fication from Chief Administrative Officer, Eliana Clements, the fol-

lowing is a summary of the main public works programs presently under-way in the Village of McBride.

Street Paving: The areas presently being paved include 2nd Avenue (Main to Columbia), Queen Street (1st Ave. to 3rd Ave.), Lonsdale Street, and Commercial Lane Ways – behind IGA and Home Hardware.

Work includes asphalt, tack coating and asphalt curbing where identi-fied.

This work would cover the driving lanes and curbing only. Costs for this work, measuring approximately 5,000 square metres, is quoted at $87,500. Property accesses from the shoulder of the road to sidewalk are not includ-ed as estimated costs were at $35,000 and funds are not available at this time. Only the driving portion of the lanes was covered under this work project cost.

Primarily, the work is being done due to heavy commercial traffic and the village wanting to protect the infrastructure of the sewer system be-neath the ground.

Property owners are able to have additional paving work improvements done at their own cost.

For 2nd Avenue and Lonsdale Street the work has been done having had the infrastructure improvement project completed in 2010, which includ-ed a storm water system being installed in alleys behind 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Ave residences. Sections of the streets at intersections were excavated to install catch basins and required resurfacing and curbing to ensure this infrastructure would be able to function properly.

village Walking trail Loop: New sidewalks, part of the walking trail loop along 1st Avenue and Columbia Street, are being constructed with land-scaping of these areas being scheduled for spring and summer of 2013.

Weather permitting the new sidewalks could be finished this fall. This will enhance the walking loop within village boundaries.

Lagoon Work: Clean up work is being completed on site at the present time and hydro seeding of selected grasses and lupines will be completed in the near future. This project is on budget and the next steps are to have engineers prepare their recommendations for planting of the wetland and woodlot areas. Plants will primarily consist of cattails, rushes and sedges. The entire project will probably not be completed until 2014.

With the help of 38 people from Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge [JPL] in mid-October, over 5,000

pounds of fingerling potatoes were harvested from Twin Meadows Organics Farm in McBride, B.C.

After a successful pilot project two years ago, Twin Meadows Organics’ successfully delivered 70 organic food boxes weekly to Jasper and the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Box contents in-clude anything that’s ready to harvest like carrots, kale, squash, radishes, mustard greens, beets and tomatoes.

With their children away at school or working in Alberta, the husband and wife team of Gary and Wendy Lowe were faced with the daunting task of a two-person potato harvest.

“I had all these potatoes,” said Lowe, referring to the 1,200 foot long rows of spuds on his farm.

Therefore, he was pleasantly surprised when JPL sous chef Cory Ledrew phoned and said he had a group of 38 JPL employees and their children eager to help harvest. Volunteers, including JPL General Manager Markus Treppen-hauer (the first person to jump on board, said Ledrew) and his son, journeyed to the organic farm, located off a dirt road in the Robson Valley.

“It was great for everyone to get out for the day,” said Ledrew, who plans to return again next year with a crew.

A Belgian horse team hitched to a wagon transported everyone to the field where they harvested potatoes from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For lunch, everyone was treated to soup and fresh bread, prepared by Lowe’s daughter, who came home from university.

The cold and rainy weather didn’t have much effect. “There wasn’t one person that didn’t have an incredible time,” said Lowe.One of the servers told him that she couldn’t wait to get back to work and tell

patrons that she helped harvest the potatoes, which are served with salmon on the Emerald Lounge menu.

When it comes to local versus imported potatoes, “the food quality and fla-vour doesn’t compare,” said Ledrew. “It’s grown wholesomely and you feel good about the food you serve.”

He doesn’t have enough praise for Lowe’s farm. “The coolest thing is every winter Gary asks what JPL wants him to grow. He knows what the restaurant is looking for.”

The food boxes and JPL’s involvement with Twin Meadows Organics is “an example how local food systems can be sustainable,” said Lowe. He’s thankful for such broad-based support.

“Often times there’s distance between corporations and real people... and

sometimes there’s some bad feelings.” JPL supporting Twin Meadow Organ-ics’ produce as well as its staff driving out and engaging in “tough farm work” bridges the divide between corporate and local industries.

“We are so proud and thankful to both our weekly box members and JPL — for helping us live our dream as certified organic local farmers.”

McBride public works update

The results are in. Approximately 520 surveys were distributed with 102 sur-veys returned and complied for the McBride Village Council’s review. This

return of surveys, less than 20 per cent, with only 80 of those expressing either slight and or very concerned status, has the village council feeling that the is-sue is not as severe as initially thought.

Over one half of those survey returns have had no encounters with the deer.Of noted interest, none of the returned surveys indicated they had fed any

deer, however indicated they knew someone in the community that had fed the deer.

Overall, the survey results showed that most would like to see a reduction in the number of deer within the village, approximately 70 per cent of those responding to the survey.

Many of those responding to the survey offered to be contacted and be in-volved in a committee to investigate other options for the community.

The establishing of a bylaw against feeding the deer was considered but the council felt that it would be difficult to enforce as the community does not have a Bylaw Enforcement officer.

At this point in time village council and administration felt that educating the residents as to how to discourage and deal with the deer in the village would be the best approach.

Information is available at the McBride Village Office.

After three years of trails and trials out of their strawbale constructed shop, Robson Valley Bio-

Diesel (RVBD) is operational and producing bio-diesel locally. RVBD is a “grass roots, community based organization producing 100 per cent Bio-Diesel (B100) from locally obtained waste vegeta-ble oil (WVO).”

What’s more, says company president and pro-ducer Seth Macdonald, there are no wars being fought over securing the raw materials to make it.

The RVBD website describes biodiesel as a clean burning, renewable fuel alternative for use in die-sel engines, “made by a process known as ‘trans-esterifi cation,’ whereby free fatty acids, mono-di, and triglyceride molecules are separated from the ester molecule. Biodiesel can be made from any plant or animal based oil or fat.”

Biodiesel’s claims to fame include; being 100 per cent renewable and produced in an environ-mentally conscious way, producing 85 per cent less emissions than petro diesel, providing better lubrication and improving performance, being ten times less toxic than table salt, and making use of an otherwise harmful waste product.

Macdonald describes their current customer base as “primarily local, organic, and organically motivated farmers seeking to have a smaller eco-logical footprint in the production of their goods for market.”

In most cases you don’t have to do any-thing to your vehicle to run biodiesel; it “can be mixed with petroleum diesel at any percent or used 100 per cent.” They recommend mixing it 50/50 with petro diesel for the fi rst few tanks, as biodiesel is a power-ful solvent and tends to clean heavy petro die-sel deposits out of your tank, depositing them in the fuel fi lter. New users generally “have to change their fuel fi lter within a couple months after switching to bio-diesel.” If your fuel tank is rusty, biodiesel will pick that up as well!

Macdonald mentions that for older machines using rubber seals and fuel lines, biodiesel will eventually contribute to rubber fatigue. Most new vehicles, post-1988, do not use rubber and biodiesel will not damage synthetics. For moder-ate wintertime temperatures, he suggests mixing 50/50 biodiesel with petro diesel.

Macdonald says he “will be conducting cold-settling trials over the winter to determine which fuel can stand up to extreme winter temperatures without clouding,” but for extreme winter temper-atures, he recommends, installing a two-tank sys-tem. The smaller tank can remain fi lled with winter petro diesel. “A heat-exchanger can be installed at the fuel pick-up of your dedicated biodiesel tank,” The user starts on petro diesel allowing the engine to heat the coolant, feeding the heat-exchanger. Once the engine is hot, it’s safe to switch tanks and draw pre-heated biodiesel. The user then switches back to petro diesel before shutting down the ve-hicle to ensure that bio-diesel doesn’t gel in the fuel-fi lter.

Macdonald has owned Integrity Contracting since 2005. The entire Integrity fl eet runs on bio-diesel, logging over 150,000 kilometres, and thou-sands of hours in generators and farming equip-ment. Macdonald is also the operational Manager of the Robson Valley Music festival. Power for the

CONTRIBUTOR

festival is provided from a large 30 kw generator, which runs on biodiesel.

While, RVBD aims to offer alternative fuel for their community at a price competitive with petro diesel, their biggest hurdle will be reliably meeting the needs of the customers in time.

Last winter RVBD purchased the DARWIN 2,200-litre reactor, built to their design specs. This one-of-a-kind technology is capable of producing upwards of 2,500 liters of 100 per cent pure biodies-el per week depending on feedstock availability. RVBD currently collects and processes WVO from McBride and Valemount restaurants, and are in the process of securing collection of all WVO in Jasper.

RVBD will be processing bulk orders, of 200 litres or more, for next spring over the winter on a “fi rst call, fi rst service” basis with their pre-order system. You can contact Seth Macdonald at 250-968-4411 or [email protected]. Please allow three to four weeks at this time. Biodiesel is available at The Dunster General Store in 20 litre returnable containers, and by delivery at an extra cost to the customer.

Notes from all over


ACTIVITIES

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The capacity to see things clearly and to take ef-fective action comes and goes – some days and cycles are simply better than others. The cycles of change indicates rises and falls, like the wax-ing and waning Moon. It is all good and natural, yet how we tune-in and handle these processes, especially the waning cycles, is important and sometimes we need help, like perhaps now. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)The focus on relationships is front and center. Between realizing a clearer sense of your own individuality within the context of relationship and feeling fulfilled regarding needs and desires makes for a complex plot. Ambitious and deter-mined to succeed, you are a force to reckon with. Creating a win/win ever requires creative think-ing and diplomatic wisdom. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Deep changes in your overall lifestyle are under-way. It is time to undergo some kind of education, training or apprenticeship. This is not a good time to lean on laurels or even past patterns. Stepping back from your situation will help you to decipher the sort of refinements needed in your overall approach towards a healthier daily rhythm. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Somehow you are in for a long haul now. Big changes have occurred, there is no returning to the way it was; you must move on. If only you could feel more confident on all fronts. The key is to accept the complexity of the process. Exercis-ing that much more critical analysis now and a willingness to work that much harder both with-out and to create peace within, is the call. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Deep within at core reaches of your being fears are being stirred. These are the fears that often arise at the prospect of laying claim to deeper layers of one’s power. Greater effort, courage and responsibility are implied in achieving and hold-ing power. For now, find ways to play with and simply entertain the prospects of accessing hid-den reserves of power. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)A growing thirst for knowledge, answers, insights and fresh angles of perception and approach is underway. While this includes increasing returns, it is also linked to realizing ideals of achievement and aspects of self-actualization. To succeed,

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE bY MICHAEL O’CONNOR

you need to dig deeper than usual. Aim for increased compre-hension of complex matters to fortify your overall foundation. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)A new day has dawned for you. Now it is time to take inventory of your resources, potentialities and opportunities. Fortunately your energy levels are running high and so too are your powers of discrimination. Yet, you may still feel the need for space or to go somewhere new to support a fresh perspective. Do what you can to step back or away to broaden your scope. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)Your ambition and determination levels are rising steadily. You feel strategic and determined to push through any opposition, within or without. Your entire lifestyle has already and is now changing and the pace is quickening. Yet, you also want harmo-ny and may feel conflicted at the prospect that your success is someone else’s defeat. Honest dialogue will help, a lot. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)The slow but sure process of disintegration of habitual lifestyle patterns has begun. It is important now that you take stock of the situation. A proactive approach is required. Since we are all creatures of habit, this is a call to review your own and to make initial efforts to replace outworn and/or unhealthy habits with better ones. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)Interactions with people holding key positions of power con-tinue. Beyond wanting access to their influence, your deeper desire is to activate your own personal power and/or to position yourself for opportunity. To achieve your goal, however, you may have to go within to confront some of your own fears, limiting beliefs and/or character flaws. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)You have received an invitation to lay claim to a new level of power. Have you answered yet? To succeed you must be willing to do the work and there is plenty to do. Yet, if you pace your-self and work with say, a 3 year plan, backed by due diligence, you will be successful. If you feel confused and/or unclear about what to do, seek counsel. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The next stage of a prolonged learning curve has begun and the slope is getting steeper. However it is precisely this challenge that you need. Anything less would not inspire your determina-tion enough. Commitment remains a key word. You must answer the question ‘to what’? Your overall health is certainly implied.
