New recruits for 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue Carole Rooney Free Press

Several civic-minded individuals have stepped forward as potential firefighters for 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue. Chief Darrell Blades says the recent 2012 Recruiting open house was successful with half a dozen people attending to sign up. With two more who phoned him after the meeting, the interview process began in early April and Blades notes he’s hoping to have eight new recruits by the start of basic training tomorrow (April 19). The B.C. Basic Firefighter Certificate Program is first up, he adds, leading to job-related physical fitness testing and a one-day live fire training in the Fire Attack Rural Program. “Once they have all that done, they join the department as probationary firefighters until the end of the year.” The new-member training doesn’t end there, however.

Sparks and wind combo... A grass fire across from Mile 108 Elementary School on Sunday (April 15) was ignited when the wind caught sparks from material burning in a barrel at a nearby residence. The fire quickly spread and covered about half a hectare before Mile 108 Ranch Volunteer Fire Department members doused it.

Van Osch ‘concerned’ after ministry meeting Carole Rooney Free Press

School District 27 chair Will Van Osch says a meeting he attended with Education Minister George Abbott recently was more about public image than providing details. Van Osch was among many school board chairs and district administrators from around the province who met with Abbott and members of his staff on April 10 to discuss recent legislation changes. The local school board chair says they gathered in the Lower Mainland and heard Abbott’s explanation of Bill 22 first-hand. Since its release, much

“

There was a lot that’s not been laid out. I think they were kind of flying by the seat of their pants a bit.”

discussion and dispute has been bandied around the province over the ramifications of the bill between the ministry and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). “[The ministry staff] mostly went over the sections of Bill 22 where they felt there was misinformation about. They didn’t really talk about the regulations as much as they discussed the intent of what they were

Will Van Osch trying to do.” Van Osch says Abbott told them this “misinformation” includes a concern about public teachers’ autonomy and seniority, but it is not addressed by Bill 22. “They’re saying it hasn’t changed.” The previous Bill 33, which controlled class size and composition, is now superseded by Bill 22, so its related reporting requirements have also ended, Van Osch notes.

“It seemed to me it was a public-relations process. It was more about trying to explain their intent – or what they thought their intent was – than it was about describing the exact implications of Bill 22. “It seems they’re not 100 per cent sure how it’s all going to roll out either.” Class size and composition aspects of the bill were also discussed, he explains. Teachers will be compensated with $2,500 if they’re class size is over 30, Van Osch says, but won’t have power to decide if that class size is acceptable to them, as the legislation removes the consultation with teach-

ers previously required in Bill 33. “There’s nothing in Bill 22 that stops larger than 30 students in a (Grades 4-7) class, and if it happens, there’s really not a mechanism for a teacher to appeal that.” Another change is the elimination of extended school day controls from the BC School Act, he says, which were previously restricted to a “complicated process” for potential approval in the teacher’s collective agreement requirements. “So now, districts will be able to talk about year-round schooling if they so desire. It won’t be See BILL 22… page A5

Penny Drive gets rolling for charity ENTERTAINMENT Carole Rooney Free Press

A local woman has come up with a unique fundraising idea that is growing in leaps and bounds. When 108 Mile Ranch resident Jamie Hughes heard an announcement on a TV newscast recently that Canada will remove the penny from circulation, she thought of a way to help a charity in the South Cariboo. There are two twists to the distinction in this campaign, she says, adding the first is supporters donate their spare pennies, and second is they get to vote for the charity to benefit. “You’re donating your pennies, but you’re also getting an option to decide where you want your pennies to go.” When Hughes first posted the idea on a local Facebook site known as Beg, Borrow or Barter, she says it “went viral” with 167 comments pouring in from local folks and businesses expressing interest and support. Then Cheralyn Gent got on board to lend a hand and the 100 Mile Penny Drive really took off with a new group on Facebook that now has 275 members and growing. Hughes says folks can donate their pennies at various business locations spanning much of the South Cariboo, where they can also enter a ballot for their choice to potentially ben-

efit among five local non-profit groups. The five charity options are the SPCA/Mixed Up Mutts (animal rescue), the 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society, KidSport, 100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary and the 100 Mile Water Park group. Many of the ideas came from community Facebook postings, she says, adding the fundraising motto is “give 100 Mile your two cents.” Penny collection and ballot entries will be available until May 30 at the 108 Supermarket, Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys, Kal Tire, United Carpet, South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Sunrise Ford, Central RV and the 70 Mile General Store. Pennies collected are counted weekly at Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys at 2-869 Alder Ave., which has a trust account set up to deposit the charity funds each Saturday at 1 p.m. by a growing group of volunteers. Hughes says more folks are encouraged to come out and help count and roll. As of April 14, she adds 13,428 pennies have been collected ($134). The 100 Mile Penny Drive is still getting rolling, so she encourages people to shake out their pockets and dig in their coin banks to find pennies to donate to their charity of choice. Call 250-791-5406 for more information, or log in to Facebook and visit 100 Mile Penny Drive.

Parole condition removed for Chad Bucknell Ken Alexander Free Press

Chad Edward Bucknell was 14 years old and James Ruscitti was 15 when they murdered four people at a home in Buffalo Creek in June 1996. On March 31, 2011, the National Parole Board voted to give Bucknell full parole. However, Bucknell will have to report to his parole officer for the rest of his life and abide by standard release conditions. The board also imposed several conditions on his freedom. • He must follow psychological counselling to assist with emotional and reintegration issues.

• He must abstain from intoxicants. • He must not associate with anyone he knows or has reason to believe is involved in criminal activity and/or substance misuse. Almost a year later to the day the board voted to give Bucknell full parole, they voted to remove the psychological counselling condition, but the other two conditions remain in place. At the March 29, 2012 hearing, the board gave its reasons for its decision. It noted Bucknell had found gainful employment in the construction industry and had been promoted by his employer. He has also participated in psychological counselling to deal

with emotional, re-integration and childhood trauma issues. The board noted Bucknell hasn’t incurred any known breaches or suspensions while on the current release program. Now 29 years old, Bucknell was serving a life minimum sentence for second degree murder for helping Ruscitti murder his adoptive parents and two boarders in an execution-style killing, leaving an infant child of one of the victims alone, but physically unharmed, in the home until a family member discovered the bodies. He was sentenced on June 9, 1997, with parole eligibility set at seven years from the date of the arrest. Bucknell was released on day

parole in April 2002, and since then, his parole privileges were revoked or suspended seven times because of breaches of not abstaining from drugs and/or alcohol, as well as breaching his non-association special conditions. Bucknell appeared before the parole board on March 4, 2011 and it was determined at that time he would continue with day parole. Special conditions imposed on the day parole were similar to those that restricting his freedom and providing protection for the public now. Twenty-seven days later, the board felt it was safe to grant him full parole and voted accordingly.

notice that is will no longer be a retail partner of Canada Post. In essence, residents, who currently use the store’s service, are being asked to choose between

two options. They could have a community mailbox service similar to a rural route, or relocate their boxes to a new retail partner similar to the Bridge

The store owners recently conducted a survey to find out if customers would like a post office at Sheridan, and there were many customers who signed that they would like that service. Wayne and Terri Salter, previous Sheridan Market (formerly Sheridan Lake General Store), were Canada Post retail partners during the 2000s, but had given notice of ending the retail partnership before selling their store to the Goheens in 2009.

Proceeds of crime pay for prevention The 100 Mile House RCMP detachment will receive $11,000 in Civil Forfeiture Grants. The money will be used to purchase thermal imaging equipment (FLIR) to assist in the detection of marijuana grow operations and search and rescue efforts. Civil forfeiture helps reduce crime by taking away tools that are used in unlawful activity, or the proceeds that come from unlawful activity.

A grass fire on April 15 was quickly attended and extinguished by the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108MRVFD). 108MRVFD chief Marcelle Ried says a property owner at 108 Mile Ranch just down the hill from the 108 Mall was burning slash in a barrel when sparks ignited some surrounding dry grass.

It’s really hard to tell how this will all culminate when the contract is due again.” Even if a contract is finally determined when contract negations resume, Van Osch notes class size and composition will be returned to the scope of bargain-

education minister has done so to this extent in the years he has been a trustee. However, Van Osch adds his impression the meeting was more about public relations than coming to any conclusions was “a bit concerning.” “It was amazingly disorganized. A lot of ministry staff members were talking back-and-forth between the minister and the deputy minister to discover things themselves. “There was a lot that’s not been laid out.

The fire chief explains conditions were windy and he could not confirm if the sparks had come out of the top or the bottom of the barrel incinerator, as it was “quite rusted.” It’s important when using burn barrels to ensure they are in good condition and solid, Ried says, adding it’s also wise to cover them with grating to help prevent sparks and burning debris from escaping.

It’s easy being green April 22-28 Heather Nelson Free Press

The District of 100 Mile House invites everyone to participate in the annual spring cleanup April 22-28. This year’s theme is “Clean is Green.” District staff will be touring the community during this one week period to collect branches, shrubs, clippings and the usual yard cleanup debris. However, they will not take old appliances or furniture.

Angela Cole Folks are asked to set debris out on the boulevard for the crews to pick up. The event is the kickoff to the 2012 Communities in Bloom campaign taking place at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre at Highway 97 and Airport Road, on April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The district will supply garbage bags to participants to collect garbage throughout town. When the garbage bag is full, return it to the Visitor Centre for disposal. The district asks that all children have adult supervision. “Once again, the District of 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce are committed to moving forward by joining forces to spruce up the town,” says CiB spokesperson Angela Cole. She adds Cedar Crest Society For Community Living members, the “Green

Team,” are joining in by cleaning a few business properties and vacant land areas for donations. “Give them a honk when you see them to thank them for helping clean things up for spring.” CiB organizers are pleased to see local businesses taking an extra look at the exterior of their buildings and sidewalk area by sweeping out the dust, weed whacking, doing updates to exterior paint jobs and planting flower beds. Businesses and residents are encouraged to help out, says Cole, and “adopt a block” or get a team busy by doing the “attack an

arth Day is celebrated on April 22 this year and it is important we all pay a little more attention to our relationship with Mother Earth. While there will always be friction between “environmentalists” and “resource extractionists,” it’s usually the extremists on both sides who are at the centre of the confrontation. Unfortunately, folks on both sides of the fence jump on board the wagon that most represents their beliefs. Then, they take the extremists’ comments and use them as “facts” in their debates. The problem is these “facts” are often little more than convenient points to make during a debate or argument. The only solution to ending this never-ending confrontation is to look for, and find, a balance that both groups can live with. We simply must find a balance in our relationship with Mother Nature that will allow us to grow as a species, while, at the same time, help us nurture the gifts we have been given. While some would like to go off the grid, live in caves, hew wood, haul water and live off the land like our forefathers of generations gone by, most of have already outlived that 25- to 35-year life cycle and would not survive that kind of life change. While others may want to strip mine all of Earth’s resources to enhance an unsustainable growth cycle, we don’t have the ability to migrate to another planet and start all over again. Obviously, the extremists need to be pushed aside, so we can find a balance that we all can live with. If we want to “consume,” we need to limit what we “need.” We need to use renewable resources, so we don’t deplete most of our non-renewable resources. What we do today will likely not have much of an effect on “our” lives or lifestyles. No, it will be the legacy that we leave our children, and their children and their children after them who will feel the full impact of the decisions we make today. This is why most of us have to make some changes to our habits in the search for a balance with Mother Nature. This is why we have to lead by example. This is why we have Earth Day to teach our children. Teach your children well - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

The Earth is melting Ask any Polar bear and it will tell you. The ice caps at both poles are melting, releasing fresh water into the ocean; meanwhile, glaciers recede at unprecedented rates. We can only speculate on the overall effect this will have, but global warming is our new reality. Carbon is being released into our atmosphere at unprecedented rates, both man-made and natural, and is responsible for speeding this phenomenon along. Whether you weigh in on the discussion or not, you are included in the results as space ship Earth is the only one we’ve got. Finding ways to make ourselves carbon neutral must become a priority. Economics seem a distant concern while the planet’s temperature is rising. While a degree or two difference seems pleasant enough on human skin, it is far more significant to an organism like a planet. The recent shortening of our coldest winter temperatures over a period of time is responsible for the cascading effect of waking up our little sleeping beauty — the pine beetle — from its normal winter siesta causing all sorts of damage to our Canadian forests, and that was just one bug. Another degree or two rising

NICOLE CHAYKA

GUEST SHOT and we can expect chaos on a very unpleasant scale. Einstein said, “We can’t fix a problem at the same level of thinking that created it.” So carrying on with business as usual just won’t do. What can we do then to reduce or neutralize our carbon use, and create the kind of world we want to live in? All around the world there are examples of people lowering their carbon footprint. If we avail ourselves of what’s out there, and set our minds to it there is no reason we can’t do the same. “Towns in Transition” is a grassroots worldwide movement committed to working with any community interested in transitioning away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Some examples are as follows: De-centralize the grid with clean and renewable energy such as solar or wind. Wikipedia shows there are 15 wind farms across Canada, so the idea is taking off no pun intended. Become locavores. Producing, selling or eating from local organ-

ic sources gives us the chance to vote with our dollars three meals a day. Making a commitment to eating locally enables us to boost the area’s economy, lower our reliance on food grown with oil-based insecticides, while eliminating the transport of groceries from the other side of the planet. Build energy-efficient earthen homes. Earthships, strawbale, cob, cordwood are a few of the choices among earth-friendly homes that steward our resources and downsize our energy consumption. The Greater World Earthship Community in Taos, New Mexico illustrates this beautifully living 100 per cent off the grid and carbon free. Transportation: Buy an electric car. Join a ride-share program or car pool. In the cities, use public sky trains, the bike paths or walk. Transform your diesel engine to burn bio oil, or simply quit idling the car. Our dependence upon fossil fuels must be addressed. The carbon we are spewing into our atmosphere for the privilege of cheap energy is not worth the overall price we will pay if we destroy the delicate balance of our planet’s eco systems. Just ask the Polar bears. Nicole Chayka is a 100 Mile House Free Press reader.

OPINION

One man’s opinion on environmentalism E NTERTAINMENT Why do so many Letters to the editor

leave the province? To the editor: While it would be nice to turn all of British Columbia into one giant park, we must be realistic and try to find common ground and make the best of what Mother Nature has given us. That includes a sensitive approach to harvest our natural resources and providing jobs to pay for our social needs. Thanks to the native and environmental groups, Fish Lake (Prosperity Mine project) is now proposed to be protected, and at the same time we must congratulate Taseko Mines Ltd. for sticking with the project despite the huge extra costs. Most people underestimate the economic benefits of that project for the entire South Cariboo region (and no I am not a shareholder). B.C. needs a strong leader with a vision and the ability to negotiate the best possible deal for all our residents, including our native people. We must negotiate an appropriate percentage of revenue for allowing the Northern Gateway pipeline to cross our province. The United States is

getting closer to developing its newly found gas/ oilfields in North Dakota, so Canada must ensure an alternative market for our own products. With today’s technology and safe guards in place, the risk of a major oil spill is probably smaller than the risk of an earthquake hitting Vancouver. All the opponents of pipelines should start with disconnecting their thermostats in their homes, as they have not figured out yet, that without a pipeline, there would be no gas warming their homes. According to Statistics Canada, in 2010/11, only 190 people, net, came to live in B.C. this compares to a net gain of 14,000 people annually from 2006 to 2008. How does B.C. reverse the population exodus? It starts with encouraging resource jobs by cutting red tape and taxes that stunt business development. The latest migration numbers are a wake-up call that B.C. must be more than just a pretty face. Martin Scherrer, realtor 100 Mile House

VICTORIA – David Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation, so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for “Big Oil” that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large United States foundations that fund most of British Columbia’s enviro-scare industry — first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the tar sands. Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. Then, he expects to be subsidized by the CBC, as well as by charitable tax exemptions. This news comes as I finish

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family Chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global

campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed salmon. However, the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of green washing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certification for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. This is because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the provincial government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now, the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

What a difference a year makes To the editor: After winning the leadership of the BC Liberal Party Christy Clark stated: “I want you to be my partners in change in Victoria. I want you to be my partners in bringing open government. “You can count on me to listen, you can count on me to engage, and you can count on me to make sure government really does include you. I have specific ideas on how to do these things, but I also need to hear from you.

“My top priority will be to put families first. In British Columbia, we are blessed with families of all shapes and sizes, families as diverse as our great province. “This is the foundation of our communities. This is the building block of our future.” What a difference a little over a year makes. Since then, her government goes from one crisis to another. She’s watched as people, who last election voted

B.C. Liberal, moved to both the BC Conservative Party, and the NDP. She saw former B.C. Liberal cabinet minister John van Dongen switch to the BC Conservatives. She’s seen one story after the other stating the B.C. Liberals may actually come third in the upcoming byelections. She has also watched as both her approval rating, and the fortunes of her party fall in poll after poll. Now, from all sides of the political spectrum,

people are beginning to question if she can even survive as leader of the party before the next general election in May 2013. What a difference indeed a little over a year can make, which is why people are asking, “How long can Christy Clark last?” Alan Forseth Region 10 director BC Conservative Party See more letters to the editor on page A12.

Newsbeat Around the province Man busted after river swim KAMLOOPS - A 24-year-old Vernon man is in custody in the Tournament Capital after leading Kamloops Mounties on a wild chase — including a swim across the South Thompson River — last night (April 12). Dylan Wayne Johnson was arrested just before midnight after he was found hiding inside a business on Athabasca Way in the Mount Paul Industrial Park, according to police. More than an hour earlier, an officer making patrols in downtown Kamloops had attempted to pull over a vehicle. The suspect is alleged to have fled on foot, running through Riverside Park and along the river past Interior Savings Centre. A policedog unit was unable to track him down. Eventually, Mounties received a call from a security guard on Athabasca Way, who found a man who had broken into a business. Officers went to the business and found the suspect from Riverside Park — soaking wet from having swam across the river. RCMP said the suspect is well-known to police.

Do you do anything at home to conserve energy or otherwise sustain the environment?

Bill McAvity, Lone Butte I use “green” bags for garbage and use the least amount of energy I can.

Bob Philion Bridge Lake We recycle and turn off the lights. We find there’s not as much recycling practised here as we saw in Vernon. It seems more of it is just thrown in the dump here.

Astrid Warren Watch Lake I burn deadfall wood instead of using the electric baseboard heaters. I also hang my laundry to dry.

Tammy Sullivan Forest Grove We do everything we can to conserve energy. We filled the gaps and power outlets with foam, use minimal lights and turn down the heat.

Man guilty of illegal guiding TERRACE - A man will fork over a hefty fine of $10,000 for illegally guiding on the Copper River. Andrew Maillot pleaded guilty to one charge of illegal guiding in Port Coquitlam court and was fined $1,000 and ordered to pay $9,000 to the “Habitat Conservation Trust Fund for fish conservation and enhancement and management in the Skeena Region.” In September 2010, the Smithers Conservation Officer Service received a complaint alleging that Maillot was illegally guiding fishermen on the Copper River (also known as the Zymoetz River). The investigation resulted in Wildlife Act charges of acting as a guide without proper licence, angling without licence or permit required by regulation and acting as guide for fishing without proper licence.

The idea that all herbal supplements are safe because they are natural is not always true. We always recommend you tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbals you take on a regular basis because there are some herbs that can interact with some drugs like warfarin (used as an anti-clotting agent for some heart problems).

Drinking and driving On April 14, 100 Mile RCMP responded to two complaints of a possible impaired driver being involved in a single-vehicle incident in the 5900 block of Highway 24 near Lone Butte. Upon arrival at the scene, a lone female occupant was located in a grey Honda CRV in the ditch and she displayed symptoms of liquor consumption. Out of precaution, the woman was transported by ambulance to hospital for examination. When the driver was medically cleared, she was returned to the detachment where two breath samples of 200 and 180 mg%.

Stephen Harper making poor choices To the editor: Oh my goodness, our micromanaging Prime Minister Stephen Harper got smacked in the face by an ultra-expensive F-35 jet lemon. Rather than paying attention to billion-dollar military expenditures, Harper prefers to nickeland-dime future seniors out of their pensions, draw up prison plans for

Assistance appreciated To the editor: I am writing about a motor-vehicle incident my husband and I were involved in near Lac la Hache in the early evening hours of April 12. I wish to express my appreciation to Dr. Wilson, the nurses and the paramedic team of the 100 Mile District General Hospital. All were extremely caring and professional. A special thankyou goes to the Arrow Transportation driver who kept me immobile despite my efforts to the contrary. Thanks to all of you.

Meanwhile the ‘unsupervised’ boys in our defence department have been making plans (apparently behind his government’s back, or so the story goes) to max out the Canadian taxpayers’ credit card on pie-in-the-sky military toys. I wonder if Peter MacKay, infamous for commandeering a Canada Search and

Rescue helicopter for personal use, has been so excited about getting a chance to ride in a jet fighter that he forgot he was supposed to be the Minister of National Defence. It will be interesting to see how much more embarrassment Harper, the Conservative Ottawa Don, will put up with before he whacks a few of his bungling ministers. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Arts and Culture Week worth celebrating By Dennis Tupman Arts and Cultural Week (April 22-28) is sponsored by a variety of arts advocacy groups in British Columbia and is supported by the provincial government. 100 Mile House has a number of dynamic citizens participating and working in arts

and cultural pursuits. All of this activity serves to make 100 Mile an attractive and livable community. There are two events that showcase the performing arts this week. There is the concert by visiting worldrenowned violinist Jack Glatzer at 100

Mile United Church, at 49 Dogwood Ave, on April 22, starting at 7 p.m. The other is the 100 Mile Festival of the Arts Festival, which runs until April 26 at Martin Exeter Hall (MEH). Dozens of local performers will be adjudicated and the top artists will

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) 2012 graduating class is presenting a fashion show as a fundraiser for Dry Grad on April 27 from 7 to 9 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The PSO gymnasium will be alive with colour and style ranging from beachwear, casual wear and formal attire on loan from local retailers. “The grads will be models,” says spokesperson Linda Jefferson. “Local retailers are supplying the fashions.” She adds it is an important fundraiser and should be a fun evening. The $10 tickets, which include snacks and refreshments at intermission, are

available at PSO, Didi’s Boutique, Outlaw An Urban Clothing Company, Donex Pharmacy and Department Store, 100 Mile Sport Shop and Class Act Formals. With the prom quickly approaching

be featured at the awards and showcase evening at MEH on April 27. There are a number of local volunteer arts groups, and each contains a large number of artists who quietly do so much for this community. Furthermore, there are a number of independent writers, painters, photographers, musicians who earn their living in whole or in part through the arts and culture. As Danny Williams, the former Newfoundland Labrador (NL) premier, stated: “We have run out of fish (in NL) and will soon run out of oil, so it will be in

the human capital we must invest — the equity to be found in the arts and cultural industry.” As a result of this espoused philosophy, Newfoundland Labrador has, perhaps, the most aggressive and explicit arts and culture initiatives Canada. On April 22-28, we will be able to focus on arts and culture and all they do to enrich our community of 100 Mile House and area.

Canim Lake youth selected to compete in high-level hockey tournaments CANIM… from page A18 Hisako will be competing in poetry recital and song. Her great love for language is evident in her song selections – Au Bord de l’Eau (French), St. Matthew Passion by JS Bach (German), and Aria for Don Giovanni by Mozart (Italian). Hockey star Lucille Paul, 15 year-old daughter of Audrey Daniels and Justin Paul of the Canim Lake Band, has been selected for high-level competition over the next two months. She is off to Calgary, Alberta with the Northern BC Selects team for a tournament April 27-29. Then it’s to Saskatoon,

Saskatchewan to play on Team BC in the National Aboriginal Championships, May 7-12. After that, she’s back with the Selects in the Challenge Cup series in Vancouver, May 18-20. Between now and the Vancouver event, she has a daily workout regime and food menu required of all players for the Selects. It’s serious hockey indeed, but Lucille takes it in stride, simply saying she is “happy and excited.” Lucille has been in hockey since age five. Mom, Audrey, says she is a strong and solid player with good stick-handling skills after years of playing against boys, often well beyond her age. “She can hold her

ground with them. We’ve always taught her to believe in herself.” AGM scheduled The Forest Grove & District Rod & Gun Club will hold its annual general meeting at the Canim Lake Resort on April 22, starting at 3 p.m. A new executive will be elected and a program set out for the year. Martina Dopf welcomes all who are interested to attend. “It will be a great time to meet people and ask questions.”

A young otter was caught on the open ice by a pair of watchful eagles, themselves tailed by a pair of ravens. The four birds scrambled to dive on the small creature while it dashed for its hole, ducking each time a bird swooped by.

Colorectal cancer screening is recommended for men and women beginning at age 50.

Lung cancer, the most preventable of all cancers, remains the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. Most people who develop lung cancer are long-term heavy smokers, but no amount of tobacco is safe. People who live with or work closely with a smoker are at increased risk due to second-hand smoke. Quite smoking today!

Uterine cancer typically affects women in middle-age or later in life, developing in the endometrial glands that like the inner wall of the uterine cavity. If the cancer is found and treated early, treatment is usually very successful.

While malignant melanoma may only account for a low percentage of skin cancer cases, it causes the most skin cancer-related deaths. The most important factor that appears to increase the risk of developing melanoma is your skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Local recycling depot expands services Carole Rooney Free Press

Recycling is getting easier all the time for residents and businesses in the South Cariboo. Gold Trail Recycling recently renovated its depot to speed up service and provide more space, and continues to expand services. A pilot residential pickup program at 108 Mile Ranch and 103 Mile that started earlier this year is going strong. Facility co-owner Leslie Glen says the pickup program has shown “awesome” results. “The trial run is very successful and we’re proud to say it’s here to stay.” A recycling truck with open sides picks up mixed paper, which she notes is especially popular with residents, as well as mixed containers in blue bags, and glass bottles and jars in totes. “It’s convenient and it’s successful and it’s capturing a lot of material that normally would have been thrown in the garbage. “We are also capturing a lot more glass than we used to, which is great because that’s in the landfill indefinitely [otherwise]. It never breaks down.” More recently, the Gold Trail Recycling depot has been renovated to allow more space for folks to sort their returns. Several stainless steel

Gold Trail Recycling co-owner Leslie Glen visited the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House recently to talk about the benefits of recycling. benches are now available to allow tidy sorting and organizing of bottles, cans and other returns. “It’s definitely better and faster service. We used to only be able to help two customers at a time, and now we can help up to seven.” By May 15, Glen says the company plans to accept metals of all kinds, from copper

and aluminum to steel. Exceptions include anything containing PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl), Freon or mercury, which aren’t accepted. Gold Trail plans to expand the residential recycling pickup program this summer, she says, initially to also encompass 103 Mile and within 100 Mile House.

South Cariboo Sustainability Society Trivia 101 By Nicole Chayka What is the South Cariboo Sustainability Society? Our feelings won’t be hurt if you haven’t heard of us yet. We’re still fairly new, but the short answer is we are your friends and neighbours in 100 Mile House and surrounding area who care about living a sustainable lifestyle within a sustainable community. What does that mean exactly? Our mission statement is as follows: “The South Cariboo Sustainability Society (SCSS) will provide leadership and advocacy in sustainable practices through education, information-sharing and community engagement.” We recently became a not-for-profit organization that received its “society” status in 2011 and our mandate of sustainability follows these eight areas: sustainable regional economy;

low footprint transportation; green development standards; consumption and waste; energy; environmental stewardship; sustainable local food systems; and healthy safe communities. To date, the SCSS has hosted an ongoing educational documentary film series highlighting current issues and sustainable practices, such as White Water Black Gold, The Garbage Warrior and The 11th Hour will be shown on April 24. The SCSS also partners with other local groups, such as the South Cariboo Agriculture Enterprise Centre, to help promote kindred ini-

tiatives, such as the South Cariboo Farm Fresh Food Guide as well as inviting peak oil expert and author Richard Heinberg to the area as a guest speaker. Projects on the horizon are ongoing, but include the introduction of a local rideshare page on the Internet, an Idle Free B.C. campaign, and a future website. As a fledgling society, we are presently growing our membership and listening to the concerns of our neighbours as we decide what issues

are important to those of us living here, and how we might face those challenges together. We are also dreaming a dream of how we would like our community to be, and what action steps we need to take us there. Please join us on Facebook to keep the dialogue going or better yet come out to our next meeting and DVD night to see The 11th Hour at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 in the 100 Mile United Church meeting room at 49 Dogwood Ave.

Carbon Offsets in British Columbia By Peter Jarvis If one accepts that the Earth is undergoing a warming trend and that trend is primarily due to human activity of burning fossil fuels producing greenhouse gases (GHG), or clearing forests, which remove the GHG. Then it’s only a small step to agree some form of incentive to reduce the production of these gases is desirable. There are two methods typically proposed by governments to induce populations to follow their best interests: carbon taxes or carbon offsets. British Columbia has chosen the carbon-offset approach, setting up the Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT at pacificcarbontrust. com) to broker carbon offset trades. This involves selling offsets to entities wishing to reduce their carbon emissions and buying offsets from entities able to remove carbon from the atmosphere or reduce their production of it. In 2007, the B.C. government created the PCT and the Greenhouse Reduction Target Act requiring that B.C. as a whole reduce GHG by 33 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, and that the public sector become carbon neutral by 2010. The PCT website states that in 2010, provincial public ser-

vice organizations produced 729,782 tonnes of emissions and funded it with $75 million to retrofit schools and hospitals. In 2008-10 B.C., public service organizations bought 774,275 tonnes of offsets. Closer to home, School District 27 bought offsets for 3,387 tonnes costing $84, 921, while the private sector bought a mere 11,092 tonnes. Meanwhile, there are many companies selling carbon offsets to PCT, and while the cost from PCT is a standard $25/tonne, their cost seems to be much lower. Although the PCT, as a whole, has an admirable goal, there are several sticking points that warrant discussion. The public-service organizations are meeting their goal of carbon neutrality at considerable expense. Even though private industry is being subsidized, it’s not meeting its goals and there appears to be a large discrepancy between buying and selling price of these credits. This is something the PCT needs to justify. To join the discussion, go to the South Cariboo Sustainability Society on Facebook at southcariboo sustainability. Peter Jarvis is a South Cariboo Sustainability Society director.

Boys’ basketball tourneys feature good skills Ken Alexander Free Press

Mile 108 Elementary School gymnasium resonated with the sound of screeching running shoes, the thumping of basketballs and the clamour of energetic competition of Grade 6 and 7 boys on April 10 and 11 respectively. Mile 108 hosted the annual Bigger Schools Basketball Tournament with teams from 100 Mile House and Horse Lake elementary school vying for the coveted championship trophies. The games were fast-paced, the work ethic was highly energized, the teamwork was solid and the skills were superb were just some of the comments made after the two-day competition was completed. April 10 featured the Grade 6 total points, roundrobin tourney, and when the final buzzer of the day sounded Mile 108 took first, followed by Horse Lake and 100 Mile respectively. Noting the Mile 108 team was made up of Grade 5 players and only two Grade 6 boys, school principal Tom Turner says they were shorter and played a run-and-gun style. “They moved the ball extremely well and I was real-

Mile 108 student Lane Paddison dribbled the ball and teammate Dylan Carr, at back, ran to get into the open for a pass, while Horse Lake student Juztis Vose tried to steal the ball. This was typical of the highenergy action during the Grade 6 and 7 Bigger Schools Basketball tournaments at Mile 108 Elementary on April 10-11. ly impressed by that. Steve Almond, who coached both the Grade 6 and 7 boys, did a great

job with the boys, as they had a good team game and moved the ball around well.”

Noting the squad only had nine players, Turner says they rotated in and out of the game

and had equal playing time. In the Grade 7 tournament under the same format on April 11, Mile 108 competed with three Grade 7 students and the remainder of the squad was made up of Grade 5 and 6 players. Turner says they played the run-and-gun with a lot of ball movement and, again, they were the smaller team. He adds the 100 Mile squad was the biggest and the best, as it went undefeated to claim the hardware. Coach Almond says the Mile 108 and Horse Lake teams finished with identical records and tied for second place. “There was good competition both days. The games featured lots of good hustle and some really good skill levels for these age groups.” Horse Lake was coached by Mike Davidson, while Josh Dickerson and his assistants Derick Leclerc and Oakley Dickerson coached 100 Mile. The referees for the competitions were Josh, Oakley, Steve and Rick Barker. Turner also commented on the great sportsmanship that was shown throughout the two days of competition. “There was no arguing with the referees and no dirty play. It was just high-calibre, friendly competition.

Grade 6 and 7 girls shine at basketball tournament

The Mile 108 Elementary School Grade 6 girls team won in the Bigger Schools Basketball Tournament, hosted by Horse Lake Elementary School, on April 10.

By Karen Schuurman Excitement was high during the girls’ division of the Bigger School Basketball Tournament hosted by Horse Lake Elementary School on April 10-11. The 100 Mile Wolves, Mile 108 Hawks and Horse Lake Lakers Grade 6 and 7 girls’ teams battled it out during the two-day tournament. The Grade 6 squads played on April 10, and the Grade 7s competed on April 11. With some nail-biting action and last-minute baskets, there were some very close games, with the winners scoring with only seconds remaining on the clock. Murray Helmer, who coached both of the Mile 108 teams that won both the Grade 6 and 7 divisions, said all of his girls worked hard and were tired at the end of their day’s competition. Coming in with a close second in both grades levels were the 100 Mile Wolves coached by Karen Blain and Maria Gust. They said it was a great tournament and everyone had a lot of fun. Third place went to the Horse Lake Lakers coached by Kyra Hopson who said she was impressed with the sportsmanship and determination all the players put into their game. All three of the Grade 7 female teams had only eight players, which resulted in a lot of playing time and a lot of exercise for everyone. With their energy levels in high gear, all the girls put 100 per cent of their energy into every game. Hopson said everyone appreciated the school’s Parent Advisory Council for opening the concession and the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School students for refereeing the games.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Now is the time to make a difference in 100 Mile & District minor hockey Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association is looking for a few good men and women. The associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting is scheduled for April 19 and will be held in the Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Room at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, starting at 7 p.m. All 10 elected officer positions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including president, first vicepresident, second vice-president, treasurer, secretary, three directors at large, parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; auxiliary president and female hockey director â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are open for election from the membership and nominations are accepted from the floor at the meeting, says association president Darrell Blades. All minor hockey meetings are open for the public. Voting at the AGM is restricted to members of the association, essentially volunteers of the association over the age of 19 and parents of the players registered with the association, Blades explains. However, memberships are collected at the start of the meeting. They cost $2 and then they get a vote at the AGM. On top of the elected officers, the executive committee has 17 volunteer spots to fill, including

Darrell Blades six division co-ordinators, a rep team co-ordinator, referee in chief, head coach co-ordinator, equipment manager, safety and risk co-ordinator, tournament co-ordinator, fundraising co-ordinator and a few more, Blades adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The association then needs coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, referees, score keepers and safety trainers to make sure that the organization runs smoothly. All in all,

the association needs 60-plus volunteers to operate.â&#x20AC;? If people are interested in volunteering, Blades says they should come out and see what minor hockey is all about and step forward if they want to get involved â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an excellent group of volunteers who put the time in required to have a successful hockey season and a great group of new volunteers just entering the association as their kids start their minor hockey adventures. These players and parents are the

future of the association.â&#x20AC;? The president adds he is hopeful there will be Junior B Hockey in 100 Mile House in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this will have a positive impact on the association and hockey in our community. We hope a successful Junior hockey program will inspire our players to strive to play for the hometown team and we will have young referees who want to develop so they can ref Junior hockey.â&#x20AC;?

Kirsty Bock has some decisions ahead Ken Alexander Free Press

108 resident Kirsty Bock didn’t get the results she was hoping for during the 2012 Haywood Ski Nationals in the Quebec City region, where she competed against the best crosscountry skiers in Canada. Noting it was “super warm” during the event and people were racing in their T-shirts and shorts, Bock says it just didn’t feel like a ski race. She wasn’t disappointed with her times as much as she was with her placings. Bock says her first race (five-kilometre Classic) was good and she placed 16th out of 57. “It was one of those really close races, and I was only one minute off the first-

Kirsty Bock place time.” The next day was very warm for the 10-km Skate, Bock says, adding she didn’t do very well. She competed in the 1.1-km Sprints the following day and it went well, and says she had a lot of fun the following day in 7.5-km mass start Classic, fighting for positions on the trails with 60 girls. Noting Canada’s National Team members were also competing, she says it was a great racing experience.

It was also a great experience away from the trails, as Bock says it was great to see other parts of the country and to be with so many people who all have the same interests. She adds the B.C. team stayed together in an old church, which had been turned into a lodge, in Monte Sainte Anne. Bock says she doesn’t know what’s next in line for her. Noting she doesn’t have the points to get first pick of a national training centre, but she might be able to get into one or two. She is also considering going to one of the universities that has a ski team, and

is leaning towards the University of Alberta. “Even though I would be skiing at a lower level than if I was at a training centre, [a university team] would be lots of fun. I could do that for a few years, and later on if I decided that skiing is what I wanted to pursue, I could change and go to a training centre.

100 Mile & District Arts Council supports programs within the South Cariboo By Gordon Hoglund Established in 1974 and incorporated in 1975, the 100 Mile & District Arts Council is a volunteer-run, community-based umbrella organization for local arts and cultural groups. We are dedicated to developing opportunities for area residents to experience and/or participate in creative and cultural endeavours.

annual Winter Arts & Craft Fair. We know the groups we support would probably exist without us. However, we sincerely believe our grants have made

life a bit easier for the members of the Festival of the Arts Society, the 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society, Eclectica Community Choir, the 100 Mile

We strive to meet this objective by awarding grants to our arts-related member groups, and when our budget allows it, by sponsoring concerts featuring professional Canadian performers. We also award up to three scholarships annually to students graduating from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School who are entering arts-related post-secondary programs. Since 1999, we have given our member groups more than $60,000 to help them offset some of their operational costs. During the same time period, we have awarded $13,000 in scholarships. We have raised these funds through grants from the BC Arts Council and income from our

GEAR Alan Edward

CROCKER Norman Leslie May 4, 1935 (Flowing Well Saskatchewan) - April 4, 2012 (Vernon BC) After a lengthy illness and courageous battle, “Uncle” Norman was called home to be with his Lord and Saviour, and to ﬁnally walk again with his mother, father, and brothers: Richard, Bob, and Ed. Norm leaves behind sisters: Ruth (Art) Niessen, Irmgarde (Gene) Hawkins, Edith (Don) Osborne, and Charlotte (Dan) Friesen; brothers: Walt (Lorena) Crocker, and Bill (Grace) Crocker; sister-in-law Grace Crocker and their respective children and grandchildren. Leaving Saskatchewan with his family at an early age, Norm attended school in Vancouver and Abbotsford. In his late teens, Norm went north to the Yukon before returning to the Lower Mainland to help his family. They eventually located to the Cariboo where Norm made his home at Canim Lake for the next 40+ years, working variously as a miner, hunter, farmer and rancher. He leaves behind many friends and acquaintances made over those years. He retired to Clinton and most recently Falkland before being hospitalized in Vernon. A memorial service will be held in Langley at a date to be announced. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made in Norm’s memory to the North Okanagan Hospice Society and the Union Gospel Mission.

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Alan Gear announce his passing after a brief illness, on April 9, 2012 at the age of 65. Al will be lovingly remembered by Carole, his wife of 39 years, and his children Devon (Steve), and Alan Jr. Al will also be forever remembered by his sister Marguerite Lee, one niece and two nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Ted and Daisy Gear. Al was born on Saltspring Island, B.C., on April 29, 1946. He graduated from Gulf Islands Secondary School and then began a diverse working life which included the marine industry as a mate/master and a marine surveyor, allowing him many adventures along the B.C. coast. Al also worked in real estate; he owned the Vesuvius Store on Saltspring and spent many years in the residential construction business. Al took pleasure in life from many different things, he loved spending time with his wife, kids, friends, his pets, community projects, trapshooting, woodworking, road trips, history, reading, gardening, and he enjoyed good food. Volunteering his skills and his time was important to Al; he was a life member of the Saltspring Island Farmers Institute, a member of both the Saltspring Island Rod and Gun Club, the Forest Grove Rod and Gun Club, and Ducks Unlimited. He was also a 25 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Al enjoyed a brief retirement in the home that he built in Lone Butte, B.C., located in the Cariboo, a place that he loved.

Our mother is an angel now she flies high above the rest, and in our hearts always and forever she will be the best. She has earned her wings and it’s time for her to fly, I know it hurts no one is ever ready to say good bye. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements 250- 395-3243.

Food Bank needs younger volunteers Ken Alexander Free Press

Noting the amount of hampers being handed out is averaging around 120 each distribution day, 100 Mile House Food Bank Society president Bob Hicks says the numbers go up a bit sometimes and dip down at other times. “Overall, it might be down a bit this year. We haven’t seen a real influx like some food banks have, and it hasn’t dropped that much either.” The society is hosting its annual general meeting at the 100 Mile United Church, at 49 Dogwood Ave., on April 23, starting at 7 p.m. The meeting is open to the public, but people have to be society members for one year before they are allowed to vote. Hicks says he would really like to younger people get involved in the food bank and urges people of all ages to come to the AGM to voice any concerns, ques-

Bob Hicks tions, or comments regarding the 100 Mile Food Bank. However, he says the organization requires a younger generation of volunteers to begin to step forward and assist the hundreds of citizens, including all of the

children, who rely on the local food bank services. “Having a youth component sure would be nice. We’re pretty much steady with the number of our volunteers,” Hicks says, adding a lot of the volunteers are getting on in age. “Myself, I’ve been here pretty much since day 1, and have been president for about 28 years. Don [Rolson] is the oldest one here and he’s 78 now, and he’s been working here for a good 22 or 23 years.” Located on 7th Street across from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, the food bank is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the first and third Tuesday of the

month. However, it is closed from the end of June to the end of August. Anyone wishing to donate either goods or money can call Kathy Haveman at 250-395-4661, or leave a message on the food bank answering machine

at 250-395-3923. Hicks says all of the society members would really appreciate some extra help from community members and hopes folks, who are willing to volunteer, will show up at the AGM at the United Church on April 23.

Volunteers: the heart and soul of every community Heather Nelson Free Press

From community associations to minor sport organizations, volunteers make valuable contributions to any organization and to their community. Membership is dwindling for some local non-profit groups either. For the most part, this is because members have put years into an organization, or their age demands they slow down their outside activities. Unfortunately, new people are not joining the organizations to fill the gaps. There are various reasons to get involved: to learn something about yourself; to have fun; passionate about a cause; explore career possibilities; get off the couch; learn new skills; feel good about yourself; help someone; and more. Some volunteers shared their thoughts on volunteering; the following is excerpts of their comments.

James Seeley Search and Rescue “We, at South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SAR) have been lucky to attract and keep a decent number of vol-

unteers involved for the past 10 years. “It seems there is always a change of personnel as some members move, change jobs and the like, but we manage to keep new members coming in. We are completely dependent on volunteers, no one gets paid to do any of the things we do. The training and response to SAR incidents is demanding and challenging, but most members would agree it is all very rewarding. “From a personal perspective, I think there are many benefits - the sense of community aid and help one provides in times of crisis. The knowledge and training one receives helps in personal growth; there is a deep feeling of camaraderie with in the SAR community province-wide. “The selective reward is the feeling you get from being involved and being of help in a time of urgent need. It’s feeling good about working with a dedicated team of people accomplishing difficult objectives.”

Tom Bachynski Communities in Bloom “The volunteer base in 100 mile is no different than any place else in North America. It’s hard to get volunteers. “Our private time is eroding due to the number of after-school activities parents seem compelled to enroll children in, and when it compounds with volunteering, the time drifts away.

“Volunteering is setting a regime of ‘I’ll be available on specific times and dates and places,’ and not necessarily conducive to our on-demand lifestyles we have migrated to. “The next and most devastating component is political: when one agrees to volunteer and has a personal agenda to bring a particular point of view or direction. The purist volunteer will commonly drift quietly away rather than confront such views. “I have been involved in many start up organizations that rely on volunteers and have no history of alternate agendas. “If I could urge people to volunteer, it would be that you do so with the intention of helping one thing, the group you volunteer with and follow in the direction chosen. It’s rewarding and fulfilling.”

Jennifer Appleby Minor Soccer “There’s a lack of new people volunteering for various organizations within the community. We see the same people coming out for events and volunteering their time, and we often run the risk of burning out those volunteers. “Non-profits need to recruit fresh volunteers, and have a succession plan in place for the organization to continue. “People forget what it takes to run community/ non-profit/sports groups, and simply expect them to run and provide programs in the community. Perhaps the assumption is volunteering will take up too much time or be difficult, which is not necessarily the case. See VOLUNTEERS… page B2

Groups need fresh faces and fresh ideas VOLUNTEERS… from page B1

“Our volunteers keep our entire program going; our only paid employee is our administrator, and she’s part time. Simply put, soccer in the South Cariboo wouldn’t exist without volunteers. “Volunteering can be a rewarding experience with any group, especially if you have a connection to it, whether it’s something for your kids or something you’re passionate about. It’s a way to meet new people and help out in the community in a positive manner.”

Lori Fry Canadian Council of the Blind “Volunteers contribute to their own inner peace and selfsatisfaction through personal growth, while along the way recruiting much new knowledge. “The benefits

come to the volunteer when the results of their efforts are perceived worthwhile. Just knowing that somehow you may have made a difference in society and making the world a better place. “It has been said one of the proven benefits of volunteering is it contributes to longevity. It’s a little ironic if you look at it - live longer by working harder. Perhaps, it’s just a reward from a higher power. “Despite the endless requests for fundraising, the South Cariboo is a very giving community - helping to build, buy, provide, create, give and support all causes and it takes many volunteers along with other support to make it happen. “It is vital in the cycle of life to breed new volunteers, and to recruit new leaders to replace those who must move on. The youth of today have so much potential in using technology to simplify many tasks that may assist in salvaging the heritage of a volunteer.”

Tracey Fetters 2887 Cadets “I began volunteering with the 2887 RMR RCACC (Army Cadets) when my children were in the Cadet program. I continued volunteering because I enjoy it so much. My children have left the organization and moved on with their individual lives leaving myself “an empty nester.” “I personally like to keep busy and without any children at home, there is sometimes too much time on my hands. Working with the Army Cadets keeps

me busy. “There certainly are not enough volunteers even within the Cadet program. This could be because families have both parents working full time and are perhaps already volunteering with another activity. “Two of the concerns I have heard about parents volunteering is they don’t want to be doing a lot of fundraising and they also don’t want to get swamped with doing too many things. “I think it would be important for parents to realize that many activities any organization does, will indeed require some help. This help could be from supplying one item to organizing the whole event or activity - all depending on your time you

have available. “The old saying of “many hands make light work” is so very applicable. I have found volunteering to be very rewarding and very fulfilling.”

Mark Waldron Hospice Society “I can’t say enough about the benefits. It’s not always convenient, but I’ve never regretted it. “The training provided by Hospice through regular workshops is invaluable. It is very complete and you do it prior to working with clients, and then we attend

yearly upgrading. “It’s ongoing learning as well as doing something that is very worthwhile. “Most of the work with Hospice has to do with an individual’s comfort level says Waldron, adding that he finds working with the clients very rewarding, on various levels. “Some people are not comfortable with the clients, but enjoy the fundraising, or the organization [part of it]. I’ll do anything to avoid paperwork. “Working with the clients cuts through all the ‘stuff’ in this world and get to the reality. I just have to be there for them and listen. “ Wo u l d I recommend volunteering for Hospice? Absolutely.”

On behalf of the staff at PSO, I would like to extend a most heartfelt THANK YOU to the Grad Committee 2012, especially Mrs. Jefferson and Melissa Lauchli, for the wonderfully organized and well-attended Cinderella Tea which was held on April 1 at the PSO gym. Not only were the Tim Hortons coffee and desserts delicious, the vendors’ displays were beautiful to look at. I would also like to thank all the vendors who graciously donated the beautiful jewellery, namely necklaces and earrings, to Cinderella’s Closet. Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the community who have donated grad dresses this past year as well as Mrs. Walters and the Grad Committee 2011, who donated a cash amount to our Closet. Without such support from the community, Cinderella’s Closet would not be able to assist our grads every year. Thank you all again so much.

Jack and the Three Sillies absolutely hilarious Ken Alexander Free Press

The kindergarten to Grade 7 students at 100 Mile House Elementary School did a fantastic job of presenting Michael L. Goodman’s play, Jack and the Three Sillies, on April 10-11. Pulling off a comedy is difficult for the most experienced of actors, but these young thespians did it in spades from the opening to the closing scene. The story is about a man Jack, played by Lydia Kinasewich, who was about to marry Buttons, played by Caitlyn McLean. However, Buttons’ family are entirely too “silly” for Jack’s taste, and instead of marrying his betrothed, he decides to set off on a trip to find a

This turns out to be a hard task because every time he meets new people, they are sillier than

the previous group. Each scene is, indeed, sillier than the prior one and the students play their roles superbly and without a hitch (for the

most part). Their facial expression and the tone of their voices add the laughter. Director Tammy Levesque-Holyk did a

wonderful job working with a large cast, but she quickly praises parent directors Janeen L’Heureux and Tricia Gage, and assistant director Grade 7 student Katya Levermann. Together they molded 50 students into an outstanding cast that worked in clockwork precision. Levesque-Holyk also heaped praise on the Grade 1-7 students who committed to the project and gave up their lunch hours since mid-January to rehearse. She adds the kindergarten class helped with decorating the tickets, posters and props. “So all age groups were involved.” There were many other students involved in making props, tickets and posters, and everything was self-designed,

she explained. “It was great because it was really a school effort. We opened it up to them and they were great.” Because they had a large cast, the directors changed the script a bit by adding extra wedding party participants and some other roles. However, LevesqueHolyk says they chose a play that already had a lot of characters. She notes assistant director Levermann learned all the lines during the rehearsals because she was a backup for all of the roles and that helped the rehearsals roll along because someone was always missing. In the end, she did have to play one of the parts. “The kids really put it all together in the end and they were super impressive.”

The Calypso was caught in a violent spring storm and was unable to make its scheduled connection at Liverpool with a CPR vessel bound for Canada. The CPR provided the Mobergs and other stranded passengers with accommodations, while passage on another ship could be arranged.

Pied-billed grebe lucky catch and release GROVE… from page B4 After several days, they received word that there was room for additional thirdclass passengers on the new White Star liner the Titanic. Nikolaus went to Southampton to have a look at the fantastic ship. He returned in excitement at the prospect of a trip on board the luxury liner However, Karolina flatly refused to sail on the Titanic. She argued that the ship was going to New York, not to Canada. But the real reason for her refusal was a deep premonition of impending doom, which she conveyed to the other families. Her son, who was eight at the time, later wrote his mother who referred to the Titanic as “ill fated, a ship

of death.” Despite the pleading of her husband and the scorn of the other CPR passengers, she could not be persuaded The Mobergs remained in Liverpool and the “unsinkable” ship sailed into history. None of the CPR passengers survived. The following week, the Moberg family sailed on the Empress of Britain. Their route followed that of the Titanic. At one point, they were delayed in the middle of an ice field. The dangerous conditions forced the ship to change course from a port in Quebec to New Brunswick. Exactly one month after leaving their home in Sweden, the Mobergs arrived at Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, thanks to a woman’s intuition.

IS THIS YOU?! (CIRCLED)

Pied-billed grebe On Easter Eve, Doug Smith came across a pied-billed grebe, lying on Bates Road. He took the stunned bird home and put him in a box. By morning, the bird had recovered. Doug drove him to a pond where there was open water. The grebe swam away. It was a happy spring story.

What is better, wood, fiberglass or vinyl frame windows? WOOD-FRAME AND FIBERGLASS-FRAME WINDOWS These windows were our top overall scorers. On wood-frame windows, the wood is clad in vinyl or aluminum for durability. The fiberglass-frame windows are all-fiberglass. The major brand wood- and fiberglass-frame windows we tested excelled at keeping out cold air and rain when they were new. After we subjected each window to a week’s worth of extreme temperature swings that that made their components flex, expand, and contract, the best models showed little or no loss of performance. VINYL-FRAME WINDOWS Although relatively inexpensive and maintenance-free, vinyl windows tend to leak air a bit more. Also, they lack the visual appeal of wood, and they can’t be painted or stained, so they may be inappropriate for an older home.

ONE DAY AT A TIME The story of Lumber and founders David and Susan Ainsworth, detailing the

HISTORY OF 100 MILE HOUSE and AREA One Day at a Time documents the tremendous revolution that took place in the B.C. Interior’s forest industry three and four decades ago. In one way or another, Dave Ainsworth has had his hand in every aspect of this revolution. Dave is one of those people who knows how to put his vision into practice. It’s this tremendous resourcefulness we owe him credit for. I know of no other book that so accurately records the vital changes that have taken place in the woods and at the sawmills; it’s a record that will beneﬁt the whole industry. Ray Williston, B.C. Minister of Lands and Forests, 1956-1972
