FORT ST. JOHN – A longstanding Pink Mountain water supplier is under inves-tigation over concerns that they’re using potable water from unapproved sources to supply work camps in and around North-eastern B.C.
These allegations are not confirmed, but representatives from Northern Health have verified that K&L Oilfield Holdings is un-der investigation.
“There is a complaint about unapproved well use and we’re working with K&L Oil-field Holdings on that, and we can’t com-ment any further on the investigation at this time,” said Jonathon Dyck, media spokes-man for Northern Health.
“We do work with operators in these situations to ensure they come into com-pliance with standards and continue to op-erate in that manner, so that’s our typical practice, is to work with them to find solu-tions or what have you,” he said.
K&L Oilfield Holdings hauls water for drilling rigs, supplies drinking water, and also has steamer and vac trucks. The com-pany owners, a husband and wife team, flatly deny any wrongdoing.
“Last week somebody put a complaint into the health board about this water . . . I’m not quite sure who I managed to piss off, but obviously somebody,” said co-owner Korey Ollenberter.
“And now of course, because of that, they have to come check me out, but under an investigation? No, we’re not under no
investigation,” he said.K&L supplies roughly 25 camps, and
Ollenberter maintains that if there was something wrong with the water, they would know about it instantly.
“Nobody’s gotten sick, nobody’s been hurt,” he said.
However, a meeting with Northern Health about K&L’s wells is on the ho-rizon, Ottenbenberter told the Northeast News on Thurs., Aug. 14.
“The health board actually is coming on Monday (Aug. 18) and we’re having a meeting on how I’m going to improve, my next improvements up on them, and that’s pretty much it,” he said.
Ollenberter insists it’s not a mandatory meeting, and was even initiated by K&L.

FORT ST. JOHN – With 64 new shelter and transitional
beds and a focus on helping rather than enabling, The Sal-vation Army’s Northern Centre of Hope was celebrated at their official opening on Mon., Aug. 11.
The newly renovated, two storey, $6-million facility was funded in part by the governments of Canada and B.C., as well as community partners. It provides residents access to a range of support services, ame-nity space for addiction programs as well as a drop in meal centre available six days a week for peo-ple in need.
The Salvation Army contrib-uted more than $880,000 through fundraising efforts.
“The Northern Centre of Hope is an important example of how strong partnerships help change people’s lives,” said MLA Pat Pimm, representing Peace River North, in a press release.
“It opens the doors for people who are homeless or at-risk by in-creasing access to the housing and support services they need. These beds represent a key step in breaking the cycle of homelessness for people to rebuild their lives,” he said.
Pimm was present at the opening, as was MP Bob Zim-mer, representing Prince George–Peace River, Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman, and Lt. Colonel Larry Martin, Divisional Commander for The Salvation Army.
The occasion praised the new location, at 9824 99 Av-enue, and model of care. It’s a substantial upgrade from their former location, a single room on 100 Avenue.
“This little tiny, about basically the size of our dining room, was where everyone slept. They would put cots out every night, so it was like, 40 to 60 people in one room,
every night,” said Todd Stringer, supervisor and transitional case worker at the Centre of Hope.
“They’ve changed from the way things used to be for the homeless shelter. It used to be 365 days a year, anyone can stay, and it was kind of wild. So now it’s way more focused on helping. It’s, what can we do to advance you in your life?” he said.
The Centre of Hope focuses on getting clients help for mental health or addictions problems, finding employment or a place to rent.
“Whatever it is, we address those issues,” said Stringer.Although there are some returning clients, many of them
have seen that the rules have changed.“It’s either let’s do something about your situation or
you can’t [stay]. And I’d say 90 per cent choose to make a difference. We send people to rehab all the time, we work closely with mental health and addictions,” he said.
“It’s really cool working with a lot of these guys and girls, seeing the change from where they were to where they’re going.”
Various housing types are available. The 30-day Emer-gency Shelter meets immediate needs, where each client is assigned a case worker to help him or her find their feet. Low Barrier Transitional Housing clients rent a room, and they’re usually either working towards recovery from ad-diction, or individuals with mental health challenges work-ing towards coming under the care of a physician.
Second Stage Housing is a more communal style of liv-ing, where clients have a shared kitchen and common area.
“It’s clients who need more of a social interaction,” said Stringer.
The Transitional Housing is for individuals with 90 days or more of clean time, people with a persistent mental ill-ness who are under the care of a physician, or people flee-ing domestic violence, he explained. There are also two family rooms.
“If a family were to lose their home or fall under finan-cial strain or something, we have rooms where families can stay as well,” Stringer said.

DAWSON CREEK – Minister of Agriculture Norm Let-nick was in the Peace Region last week meeting with farm-ers and others in the industry to hear their concerns and
suggestions moving forward.His visit was part of a province wide tour with the ob-
jectives of learning how to boost agricultural revenue, and gather input from stakeholders on the regulations for the Agricultural Land Commission.
He met with a small group of reporters at MLA Mike Bernier’s office, who represents Peace River South, in
Dawson Creek on Sat., Aug. 16, to explain his travels and to share his insights thus far.
“I have been given a man-date by Premier Christy Clark to help the Agricultural Indus-
try achieve $14-billion in sales by 2017, we are just about $11.5 to $12-billion right now, so we still have a little ways to go by 2017 to reach that $14-billion mark. So I’m go-ing around and I’m asking farmers and ranchers and other people involved in Agriculture how we can work together to achieve that goal,” said Letnick.
“At the same time, I’m asking people if they have com-ments on the regulations for the Land Commission, that they submit those comments by Aug. 22nd, which is the deadline for those comments to come in,” he said.
The purpose of the consultation is to gather farmers’ in-put, and that of others in the agricultural industry, on pro-posed additional activities that could be allowed on farm-
land in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
These proposed changes would not require an applica-tion to the Agricultural Land Commission, and the public input is to determine whether or not, and to what extent, the allowable uses should vary between different provincial regions, as well as to deter-mine what parameters should Photo Credit Bronwyn Scott

be put around the proposed new uses.Letnick has been meeting with people of varying per-
spectives and suggestions.“People who grow cattle and people who slaughter cattle
and produce food for us in our stores. I’ve had conversa-tions with berry producers, people who are vegetable pro-ducers, people who are concerned about the future of the A.L.R. in general,” said Letnick.
“My days are full, but there’s always more people that wanted to see me that I can’t accommodate, so that’s why we have the public process on the regulation consultation, where anybody can go in through the website.”
The Agricultural Land Commission Act was amended in May 2014 with the passing of Bill 24, which introduced several legislative changes in terms of how the A.L.C. is structured and how it makes decisions on applications.
Part of the amendments is the establishment of two A.L.R. zones, with each comprised of three of the six A.L.R. regions. Zone One includes the Okanagan, the South Coast, and the Vancouver Island regions. Zone Two includes the Interior, Kootenay and North regions.
“This two zone approach I think was really, really ap-propriate . . . now that that act has passed, we’re doing its regulations,” said Bernier. “Locally, in the Peace Region, we have some uniqueness, we have most of the A.L.R. land, I think we have 40 to 50 per cent, actually it might actually be more, of the A.L.R. land is actually up in the northeast part of British Columbia here, but we have some other issues obviously around climate and around what we can grow up here because of that shorter growing season, and on top of that, obviously the competition for land be-cause of oil and gas and everything else that’s happening up in the area,” he said.
“I heard that quite a bit over the last couple years, should we be looking at differences around the province based on regional differences? And that two-zone approach I think,
it’s a bit of a compromise that we were able to really work towards, and now with the regulations, it’s really important now . . . get that information in to us, and get your ideas of how those regulations should maybe be written up to go along with Bill 24.”

FORT ST. JOHN – The 67-year-old man who was re-moved from last week’s homicide scene, where a 64-year-old Fort St. John woman was found dead, has succumbed to his apparently self inflicted injuries.
On Tues., Aug. 12, at 1:37 p.m., the Fort St. John RCMP received a third party complaint of a man with a gun on the 10,000 block of 105 Avenue, according to an RCMP press release.
Officers responded immediately and set up a perimeter for public safety. The house was surrounded. An officer with a sniper rifle was visible from a nearby pickup truck in a neighbour’s driveway.
Residents trying to drive home were redirected, and in some cases told to park their cars outside the perimeter and walk to their houses via a nearby walkway that led away from the scene.
When officers entered the building, hours after the initial call, they found the deceased woman and an injured man, believed to be from Manitoba.
By 4:41 p.m. the injured man was loaded onto a stretcher and taken to hospital for treatment, where he later passed away.
Police believe the two individuals knew each other, and that this was not a random violent act.
The name of the deceased is not being released at the request of the family.
The investigation is currently being handled by the North
District RCMP Major Crime Unit and is in its preliminary stages. RCMP is working with the B.C. Coroners Service to determine exactly what occurred.
Anyone who may have information about this incident is asked to contact the Fort St. John RCMP at 250-787-8140, or to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

When talking with a Salvation Army representative here in Fort St. John regarding the opening of a shelter complex, I was glad to hear that they’ve changed their system to fo-cus on helping, not enabling.
Part of the transitional strategy requires residents par-ticipate in rehabilitation or other wellness and community service programs. They help those who help themselves. This is a major leap forward. It ensures that people who rely on this charity are not only being cared for with shelter and food, but that they are learning the necessary skills to advance their own lives.
Don’t get me wrong. I understand how disabling depres-sion and other mental health and addictions issues can be. The very real illness of depression has been brought into the spotlight lately with the beloved Robin Williams’ death by suicide. Or, death by depression, as it may be more aptly described. I think it’s safe to say he bore his burden for a long time.
I’m reminded of a poem written by the famed John Mil-ton, “On His Blindness,” where the aging man, a poetic ge-nius, fears he can no longer serve his maker with his talent because he can no longer see. It’s torture for him to have his genius locked inside by darkness:
When I consider how my light is spentEre half my days in this dark world and wide,And that one talent which is death to hideLodg’d with me useless, though my soul more bentTo serve therewith my Maker, and presentMy true account, lest he returning chide, “Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?”I fondly ask . . .
That struggle, he resolves, is service enough:
. . . But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: “God doth not needEither man’s work or his own gifts: who bestBear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His stateIs kingly; thousands at his bidding speedAnd post o’er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait.” Bearing a burden, be it blindness, mental illness, or ad-
diction, can be hard. My uncle took his life after 40 years of battling depression and addiction. I have a schizophrenic sister, a heroine addict brother, and an alcoholic brother. All suffer. This genetic affliction has even reared its griz-zled, tireless head my way: I too have woken in the small hours to voices calling my name, to crows swarming, craw-ing so loud in the deafening silence of the midnight dark, where I lay awake, picked to death, in a dream that would
not end. I have slipped to the other side, that beautiful, se-cretive, genius, other world, where colours shine brighter and words are lost to the divine unity of chaos. (What I mean by that, it’s tough to say.)
It’s a place outside of thought, where semantic constructs disintegrate and the world presents itself as it exists without the application of reason.
In the midst of this breakdown, I too thought of taking my life, out of fear that, like my sister, I would live in a world where demons rule, and writing presents itself quite literally on the walls; where unnamed voices make deci-sions, and fear paralyzes in catatonic episodes. My sister once tried to kill herself; another time, she tried to kill me, her little sister, only 16. My youth wasn’t boys and parties. It was chasing my terrified sister through the streets in her fits of mania to take her home. It was walking the hour long distance to visit her in the hospital when we had no family car. It was wondering where I would lay my head the next week, and the next.
So let me repeat: I know how disabling mental illness can be, and how taxing and hard poverty is, too. There’s no shame in it. But if you don’t try to move forward, there’s no leaving that place. While I hold it true that “They also serve who only stand and wait,” be like Milton in this way, too: consider how your light is spent.

Moving forward on homelessness in FSJ
My first reaction to that is one of suspicion and skepti-cism. Several times in the past they have tried to get onto private property to get domain of your water wells. Is this the real reason for a ground water study? An excuse to get onto your property and find out where you’re well is!
Do you not remember about 20 years ago when they wanted to put meters on you well so they could tax you on your own water!!
This latest scene for a ground water study is simply a subtle, sneaky way of getting onto your private property to see where your well is and how much capacity your well produces and tax you for your own water.
Don’t fall for this latest con job! Don’t let them on your
property and don’t give them information about others or your neighbours.
The government has no legal authority on private prop-erty. Do not let them threaten or intimidate you. Their only authority is on Crown or public land.
I again quote Black’s law dictionary 9 ed. 2009 page 1315-1337; page 1315 “private- relating or belonging to an individual, as opposed to the public or the government”. Page 1337 “private property- protected from public appro-priation – over which the owner has exclusive and absolute rights”.
Remember section 336-337 of the Criminal Code of Canada. This law states that any Government official can
go to prison for up to 14 years for trying to force you to do something they have n authority to enforce.
I recommend that you do not fall for this latest scam of the bureaucrat bandits masquerading under the pretense of a ground water study.
The exclusive and absolute rights include your water well or ground water source.
P.S. Any official who denies the above legal statements either does not know the law or consider themselves above the law. They are not!!!!
Jim Ross
The government is asking you to co-operate with them in a ground water study!

A post-secondary education is expensive – and very necessary these days. Most students must carefully manage limited financial
resources to obtain that degree or diploma -- without accumulat-ing a crushing burden of debt along the way.
That’s why students need a financial plan. Here are some prac-tical strategies to help students manage money more effectively:
Live economically. Students may choose to live at home (and save money) or move out, perhaps to a different city or province. College and university costs can vary dramatically depending on the institution and province of study.
Budget realistically. Allocate financial resources to pay for the many expenses a student will encounter through the school years – fixed costs such as tuition, books, accommodation, trans-portation, and food, as well as variable expenses like entertain-ment. Assess against known resources (such as income from investments within an RESP, family contributions and personal savings) and expected income (from part-time or summer em-
ployment). Tap into every income
source. Before applying for a student loan, check for potential scholarships or bursaries from the school, foundations, reli-gious groups, service clubs or civic groups.
Use credit wisely. Used re-sponsibly, credit cards can be helpful in an emergency and for establishing a credit history.
Pay yourself first. By put-ting a little bit away each week, a student can begin to invest for the future, save for emergencies or for a major purchase.
Take full advantage of government tax relief for students: • Scholarships and bursaries are not taxable when the student
is eligible for the Education Tax Credit. • Interest paid on a student loan is eligible for a federal non-
refundable tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provin-cial student loan program. Unused amounts of the credit can be carried forward and applied in any of the next five years.
• Moving expenses are deductible when a student moves more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or to a job. These ex-penses can only be deducted from the taxable part of your scholar-ships, fellowships, bursaries, certain prizes, and research grants.
• Child care expenses may be claimed by the higher earning spouse/common-law partner of a lower-income student spouse as long as the lower income spouse is attending school and was en-rolled in part-time or full-time educational program.
• GST rebates must be applied for on the student’s tax return each year.
• Other tax credits available to students: • Canada Employment Credit on the first $1,117 of employ-
ment income. • Tuition, Education and Textbook Credit. Unused portions
can be transferred to a spouse, common-law partner, parent or grandparent, up to $5,000 minus the amount used by the student. Alternatively, unused amounts can be carried forward and must be claimed in the first year you have a tax payable.

FORT ST. JOHN - After a successful open heart sur-gery, former mayor and newspaper publisher Bruce Lantz aims to help others facing the same prospect with a support group he’s calling The Zippers Social Club.
Lantz had a triple bypass in Edmonton on July 16, and
he found the advice and support of friends who have expe-rienced the same invaluable. Almost immediately he deter-mined to help others travelling that road from the perspec-tive of a survivor.
“It’s pretty trau-matic, I mean the doctors, the surgi-cal team, one of the things they tell you is to make sure your affairs are in order. Well, if you weren’t scared shitless before, you would be after you read that,” he said.
Doctors showered him with information, but it was all very technical and geared towards the surgery.
“I got more information talking to two other people that I just happened to know, just sort of sidebar information, that was quite useful,” he said.
For instance, he learned that coughing or sneezing af-ter surgery is excruciatingly painful, but if you can hold a small, firm pillow against your chest, it’s not so bad.
He made sure to pack loose fitting, button up shirts, since you’re not allowed to lift your arms above your shoulders when recovering.
“Even now, having a shirt that is too tight, I mean, my chest is very sensitive, and so, again, it’s something you learn,” Lantz said.
Making the choice to fly or drive to Edmonton was some-thing else to consider. To fly, special certification from the surgeon is required, and the patient needs special permis-sion from the airline.
For Lantz, that process seemed a bit cumbersome. He decided to drive, but that choice had painful repercussions.
“Bouncing along these supposed main roads was just brutal. It was very, very difficult,” he said. “I would cer-tainly caution people against doing the drive just because
of the condition of the roads.”The Zippers Social Club – so called for the appearance
of stitches, a tentative name that could change as the group develops, Lantz said – is meant to be an informal gathering of people that would meet for coffee once a month to share stories and offer support to each other.
What he’s anticipating is a list of names and contact information that health care professionals would have on hand to distribute to cardiac patients facing surgery.

“People may choose to come to those meetings, or they may not, they may choose to go down the list of names and contact information . . . they might just pick up the phone
and call somebody that they, maybe they recognize a name, or they feel comfortable with that person, they phone them up and say, hey look, can we have a coffee? I’ve got some questions,” Lantz said.
To make sure there is nothing like this already in place, and to get input from the medical community, he contacted
Cathy Ulrich, CEO of North-ern Health, his own family doctor, and spoke with nurs-es and technicians at the hos-
pital. The response has been positive on all fronts.“You are absolutely right that this sort of peer support
is very helpful to people going through this kind of major medical experience,” said Ulrich, in a press release. “We do more of this related to the cancer care journey and for those living with diabetes, but it has real potential in rela-tion to cardiac experiences as well.”
Anyone wishing for information can reach Lantz at 250-264-8888, or by email at [email protected].

Heartfelt cause
FORT ST. JOHN – Little fairies overtook the Fort St. John Community Garden at the Northern Environmental Action Team’s wrap up party for their summer events kids’ programming, Whimsical Wednesdays, on Weds., Aug. 13.
“We’ve been doing fairy book themes with recycled crafts and activities . . . and today is our Fairy Tea Party,” explained Susan McGarvey, a NEAT eco advisor.
Wings and glitter were in abundance as about 23 chil-dren participated in fairy related activities, including mak-ing fairy dwellings out of recycled materials and earthen sod, and fairy wreaths.
Although all of the previous Whimsical Wednesdays were organized on a drop-in basis, registration was re-quired for the wrap up party.
Lemonade offered reprieve from the summer heat, and cupcakes added to the special occasion.

FORT ST. JOHN – Local celebrity Denny Morrison, known for his speed skating wins at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, took his medals to West Africa to inspire children and celebrate the transformative power of sports.
As part of Right to Play, an organization that works with volunteers and part-ners to enhance child development in areas of disadvantage, Morrison and Laura Fortino, a Team Canada women’s hockey gold medalist, were in Ghana as athlete ambassadors from July 28 to Aug. 3, spreading positivity and promoting healthy development.
Visits to a youth correctional centre and a literacy program for out-of-school chil-dren were some of the athletes’ activities, as well as a mixed gender soccer game that focused on equality.
Both Morrison and Fortino played with the youth in Nima, the largest slum in Accra, Ghana, ac-cording to Kyla Pearson, commu-nications manager for Right to Play. Members of the Ca-nadian High Com-mission in Ghana were in attendance, she said.
Morrison knows first hand the power sports can have in developing life skills and healthy living. Although his parents couldn’t always afford the latest video games or en-tertainment systems for their son, he was always afforded the opportunity to play.
“For that, I grew up learning lessons that had a positive impact on the rest of my life, which is why I am so inspired to be here in Ghana, sharing the message of the power of play,” he said in a press release.
Right to Play uses play based education programs to empower children and youth to keep themselves healthy, develop critical life skills, build resilience, promote peace and become positive young leaders in their communities.
The organization reaches one million children through regular weekly play programs across more than 20 countries.

The official opening came months after the Centre of Hope has been serving the public. The doors to the shelter have been open since Feb. 19, and the benefit it’s having on the community is significant.
“We’re full. Our 30-day shelter is pretty much always full, upstairs, actually our low barrier is pretty much all full, there’s a couple open beds, and upstairs we currently have, out of 24 there’s maybe eight empty beds,” said Stringer.
The community kitchen is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., they serve a lunch every day open to anyone of the public. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. they’re closed, which is meant to en-
courage clients to get out and do something with their day. At 4 p.m. the shelter clients can come back in, their bags are checked for items like weapons or drugs, and they’re given meal tickets.
“There’s a 10 p.m. curfew, and it’s very safe . . . that’s a big concern, kind of the bottom row of Maslow’s hierarchy, It’s shelter, food, and safety,” said Stringer.
The Salvation Army is an international Christian non-profit organization dedicated to providing social services and assistance to those that are marginalized and over-looked in over 400 communities across Canada and more than 120 countries around the globe.

“They’re just coming to look at my well, to look at some, what it is, is it’s not even them actually that want to do it, I want to do it. It’s not like they’re requesting or making me, or going to force me into it,” he said.
The incident comes just months after the Northeast News received an anonymous tip that a vac truck operator was allegedly caught on video dumping its contents and being cleaned at Mile 143 of the Alaska Highway, which is Pink Mountain.
Officials with the Ministry of Environment confirmed at the time that they were investigating the matter.
“What has happened is that the conservation officer service received a complaint of a tank being cleaned and dumping its contents at Mile 143 of the Alaska Highway. We don’t know what the contents were,” said Sgt. David Vince.
“We were on this the very next day, we were dealing with the company on March 1st, there’s been an ongoing investigation with activi-ties such as this since Feb-ruary. We finally have the video of it happening on March 31st, 2014,” he said.
“We actually have some photographs of it taking place, that’s very good evi-dence, we also are going to be taking statements from various people and various companies as to what was taking place . . . It’s highly illegal to clean your ve-hicles of any type of busi-ness waste, there’s a proper procedure.”
Vince would not reveal the name of the company, but confirmed that video evidence showing a vac truck opera-tor apparently cleaning his truck is part of their investiga-tion.
“You know how you dump a grain truck or a dump truck? So it was lifted up in that position,” said Vince.
“If you are washing the outside of it, cleaning the salt and stuff of it, you certainly don’t need to lift the tank and
open the doors. There’s no reason for that tank truck to be lifted up in that position with the door open in the back un-less you’re taking whatever contents are out of that tank,” he said.
In more recent discussions, Vince confirmed that the in-vestigation is still ongoing.
When the Northeast News inquired of K&L if they have any suspicions as to what company that investigation refers to, Ollenberter said he has no idea.
“I don’t have a clue who it would be, they’ve been looking for whoever did that for quite some time,” he said. “There’s rumours, but I’m not into that, about who did it and who didn’t do it.”
However, conservation officers approached Ollen-berter with video footage earlier this year, he said.
“The only other thing I know about it is this winter they came along here and
decided they should give me heck one day for washing my trucks out here in the front of my yard. Basically what I told them is, I’ve been washing them there for 20 years and it’s my property, so they can get off my property and mind their own business,” he said.
“It was the game wardens actually that came to see me. And they had a video of me washing my trucks. And that’s

Health board investigates
If there’s an issue with these kinds of things nowadays,
they’d shut me down so fast it’s not even
funny . . .
what it was, and I just told them straight out, it’s none of their business, it’s my property.”
Soil samples were taken from the area, and Ollenberter didn’t hear anything more.
“That’s pretty much how I left it, and they never came back, they decided to go over there and take soil samples just in case I was washing dirt or grease or whatever over there . . . and never came back,” he said.
“If there’s an issue with these kinds of things nowa-days, they’d shut me down so fast it’s not even funny . . . I’m playing with peoples’ drinking water, an investigation on something like that does not, that’s not how it works, if there’s an issue, I’m done immediately.”
Whoever called in the authorities, Ottenberter can only guess. The list of pos-sibilities he suggested ranges from disgruntled employees who have been let go, to competitors vying for a larg-er share of local business.
“One of the biggest prob-lems around here is I have 99 per cent of the work in this country, and there’s a lot of people that just would like to see me go away. Or at least see me slow down. I went from five trucks to 30 trucks in about three years,” he said.
Another possibility is that locals are upset over K&L’s recent purchase of a Sikanni well.
“Ever since I took over the other piece of it and ended up with all the water rights down there, everybody’s in a pretty bad mood about it . . . . the one well I did buy last year was, the people that owned it before that were selling water to all the companies. And I shut that completely down of course, because the one reason, the main reason I bought the place was for that well.”
K&L recently finished substantial upgrades, which Ottenberter maintains was voluntary.
“I’m doing the upgrades not because I’m forced into
them, it’s because I want to do the upgrades so that, basi-cally, my competition can go piss up a rope,” he said.
“We just finished building a $30,000 shed here in the yard, just so we can actually change the water, because the water at Pink Mountain here has really bad iron in it, and we changed it so we can haul the Sikanni water, so that everybody has real good water now.”
Ottenberter said all his wells are health board approved, and that there’s never been a problem.
“They’re chlorine, they’re tested, they’re washed, they’re taken care of, as I said, I have meetings with the health board next week just because of this, because I’m
tired of these rumours and this crap going around.”He’s been hauling out of his company wells since 1999.
