” For all  looking after children”

May your wallets are always full of money.

September 20th is a day marked by a variety of historical events, observances, and holidays. Here are some significant examples:
Historical Events:
* 1870: Capture of Rome. Italian troops entered Rome, a key event in the unification of Italy. This led to the city’s incorporation into the Kingdom of Italy and the end of the Papal States’ temporal power, with the Pope’s authority limited to the Vatican.

* 2011: “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal. The U.S. military policy that allowed gay and lesbian people to serve as long as they didn’t reveal their sexual orientation was officially ended, allowing openly gay and lesbian individuals to serve.

$30.000.00 licence

This morning we talked to a local wood cutter KIm Robinson. We said Archie **** is looking to have a tree fallen in his front yard on Parker drive. ” Archie said that he thought it would be thousands of dollars and was concerned that the pitch wood would be hard to dispose of from the Ponderosa pine that dominates his front yard in front of his house.

Kim showed us his fellers licence and said that it was needed to fall trees for money. He estimated that it cost 30 k to acquire a licence and that inspections are strict and frequent when he uses it to fall snags on the perimeters of cut blocks. “WCB have a real program to check your competence I know of fellers  sited for doing some back cuts and it was on their record for some time.

The estimate is from Kim an experienced  woodsman and he says that you can no longer be grandfathered.

Archie also though there may be a minister around that does that.

Here is the site of the  org that gives the credentials The BC forest safety council: http://www.bcforestsafe.org/training/faller_certification.html

Editors note: Any one including a minister that does any kind of work for you and is not an employee of a corporation no matter how small is a sole proprietor and if they do not have Workers Compensation Proprietors optional coverage they can recover damages for anything that happens from your assets were you are negligent of diligence.Some house insurance packages will cover you for 3rd party workers but you better know before hand.

Elkhart lodge

There was a small fire reported in the proximity of the Elkhart lodge yesterday and it was said to have been responded to by emergency crews and is assumed out. The Elkhart lodge is on the Okanogan connector divided freeway between Merritt and West Bank or Kelowna.The concept of a divided highway gives safety and security from cross traffic at level crossings however there is one exit on each phase of the Coquihalla highway system , Lac le Jeune on the Kamloops route 5 and Kingsvale on the Hope phase to Vancouver . ( not level crossing)

There was a standing joke about Elkhart when the highway was under construction as highways policy was to connect communities rather then by pass them ,hence people were calling it Elkhart BC however there is no community but a hunting lodge and a way into wilderness for hunting and prospecting interests.
