And surrounding area
Volume 20 issue 5 May 3, 2018
Finally some good weather and temperatures to welcome spring. It’s been a long winter and the thaw is wel-
comed even if it has come late.
The receding snows, while welcomed, also reveals the accumulated junk, debris and garbage from a long win-
ter that seemed to start the day after Thanksgiving. But actions are better than complaining and whining about
things, so it’s better to get going and start cleaning up. Cleaning, while hard work is not necessarily the same
fun factor as a day fishing or a party with friends, has quite a few hidden benefits for individuals as well as the
community as a whole. There are but a few unseen but not unfelt benefits of spring cleaning outside.
Simply put, the vast majority of people like to live in a clean community. It looks better, makes us feel better,
and people are much less likely to throw garbage on the ground. So keeping garbage and litter where it needs
to be lowers the amount that is on our properties, in our parks and along our roads and streets. This helps not
only our own view of ourselves but also how others see us, which helps our businesses and attracts new busi-
ness to our area. There is little downside to keeping things clean and many, many upsides.
But cleaning up is also good for us physically and mentally. It’s hard not to be happier after a day outside in
the fresh air cleaning up. It’s good exercise. And if we clean with others, we get the social benefits of keeping
things clean. Volunteering, helping others, being social, and being physically active all contribute to better
overall health. It’s hard to lose in that deal.
So this brings us to Ray Pilkey, as many I’m sure have seen the flier advertising a community cleanup orga-
nized by Ray Pilkey if I’m not mistaken. He has organized a Spring Road Cleanup on all municipal roads on May
5th & 6th. There are bags and info available at the Municipal office and Eagle Junction. I hope the weather is
good for the clean-up and we get lots of participation. And thank you Ray for doing a great job organizing this
clean-up.
In other news, we are currently fighting the proposed cost that CPR plans to bill us for to do some work on the
rail crossing first estimated at $36,890. The revised estimate for the work moved from approximately $36000
(which I feel is still too much) to a whopping $122,394. We can’t afford that. We have also been given no voice
in this. The CPR has sent out a letter stating this is the cost estimate and you will pay it. Council and staff are
busy working with Hon. Bob Nault to get this issue resolved. I’ll keep you posted on this issue.
We have also been through our mandatory annual audit, which must be done by a third party which in our case
is done by BDO out of Dryden. Council has not been presented with nor have we reviewed the audit as of this
writing but will be doing so soon. If you are interested, we can provide you with the audit report when it be-
comes available at the Municipal office.
I’d like to thank Lydia Lecot for continuing the end of the year curling bonspiel. Shannon and I got to partici-
pate in it again after some time away from it and had a great time. Great job to all that helped out and partici-
pated.
Well, that’s about it for now. I wish all the local tourism businesses the best as the busy season starts out. And
to everyone, please enjoy a well-earned spring in the best place in the world to live.
Sincerely,
Drew Myers
Mayor of Machin

Campfire Safety Tips:
All it takes is one spark for things to go wrong. A carelessly abandoned campfire or a campfire
built without safe clearance can turn a small fire into a dangerous and fast-moving blaze. Be
sure to build your campfire in a way that does not endanger anyone or the surrounding forest.
Enjoy a safe campfire by following these campfire safety tips:
Check with local authorities on open-air burning restrictions and follow local burning reg-
ulations. Keep up-to-date on fire bans in the area.
Never build a campfire on a windy day. Sparks or embers from the fire could travel quite
a distance setting an unintentional fire.
Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks aren't getting on flammable materials. Put the
fire out if wind changes begin to cause concern
Build campfires where they will not spread; well away from tents, trailers, dry grass, leaves, overhanging tree
branches or any other combustible.
Build campfires in fire pits provided or on bare rock or sand, if no fire pit is provided.
Maintain a 2 to 3.5 metre (6 – 10 foot) clearance around your campfire.
Build a campfire surround with rocks to contain your campfire. Be aware that rocks obtained from the river may
explode due to moisture in the rock becoming superheated by the campfire.
Use crumpled paper and/or kindling to start a fire rather than using flammable liquids.
Never use gasoline as an aid to starting a campfire. If a fire starter is required, use only proper lighting fluid and
use the lighting fluid sparingly. NEVER PUT IT ON AN OPEN FLAME since the fire can ignite the stream of light-
ing fluid and the flame will travel up the stream igniting the container in your hand and causing serious injury.
Once the lighting fluid has been applied to the firewood, allow a few minutes for the explosive vapours to dis-
perse before lighting. Remove the lighting fluid container a safe distance away before lighting the campfire.
Secure all lighters and matches and keep them out of children’s reach.
Keep campfires to a small, manageable size no more than 1 metre (3 feet) high by 1 metre (3 feet) in diameter
and don't let it get out of hand.
Don't burn garbage in your campfire. The smell is unpleasant for you and your neighbours, and may attract ani-
mals to your campsite.
Keep all combustible materials, including flammable liquids, propane cylinders, lighting fluid, etc. away from the
campfire.
Stack extra wood upwind and away from the campfire so that sparks from the campfire cannot ignite your wood-
pile. Have sufficient wood on hand to eliminate the need to leave your campsite to restock.
Never leave campfires unattended. Ensure that a responsible adult is monitoring the campfire at all times. Su-
pervise children around campfires at all times and never allow horseplay near or involving the campfire, such as
jumping over a campfire. Do not allow children to run around near a campfire.
Closely supervise children while roasting treats over a campfire. A flaming marshmallow can easily ignite a
child’s clothing. A heated metal skewer can be a burn hazard, as well as a puncture hazard.
Loose clothing can easily catch fire. Never reach into a campfire to rearrange pieces of wood.
Teach children how to STOP, DROP and ROLL should their clothing catch on fire. Teach children to cool a burn
with cool running water for 3 – 5 minutes.
Keep plenty of water and a shovel around to douse the fire when you're done. Use caution when applying water
to the campfire. Once the water has been applied, stir the dampened coals and douse it again with water. As an
added precaution, shovel sand or dirt to cover the dampened coals to smother any remaining embers.
As little as 1 second contact with a 70°C (158°F) campfire can cause 3rd degree, full thickness burns.
The average campfire can get as hot as 500°C (932°F) in as little as 3 hrs.
The majority of children are burned the morning after a fire from coming into contact with hot ashes or embers.
A campfire left to burn itself out or put out with sand only, was still 100°C (212°F) eight hours later. The buried
coals and embers retain their heat underground like an oven. There is also a risk that the fire may spontaneously
re-ignite. A child may mistake the pile of sand or dirt as a sand castle and attempt to play in it. The temperature,
less than 10 cm (4”) below the surface of the sand or dirt can be as high as 300 °C (572°F).
A campfire put out with water is reduced to 50°C (122°F) within 10 minutes of applying the water and reduced to
10°C (50°F) after 8 hrs. The safest way to extinguish a campfire is with water.
