SCHF shows off the renovated hospital lobby Heather Nelson Free Press

The ribbon was cut and the cake was enjoyed at the South Cariboo Health Foundation’s (SCHF) grand opening of the newly refurbished entrance and waiting area of the 100 Mile District General Hospital on May 12. Locals, dignitaries, SCHF board members, Hospital Auxiliary members and lab staff joined the celebration of the grand opening, the foundation’s 10th anniversary and extended hours of the laboratory. “In 2005, the foundation partnered with Interior Health and the Cariboo Chilcotin Health District to undertake a major upgrade of the emergency and laboratory facilities,” said SCHF public relations and fundraising co-ordinator M-J Cousins. In 2011, she added, the foundation planned and funded the renovations to the hospital entrance and waiting area. “Now, the work is complete.” Cousins introduced SCHF board chair Mary Schennum who spoke of the wonderful support of the community, businesses and the partnership with Cariboo Regional

She noted the foundation is celebrating a decade of supporting the health care in the 100

Mile House area, and since the incorporation of the foundation, it has dispersed approximately

$1.5 million throughout local care services. “We need $80,000 to $100,000 a year to con-

tinue these services, and this year, we have already reached the halfway point of about $50,000.”

Governance change would be taxing Ken Alexander Free Press

During the May 14 South Cariboo Joint Committee meeting, two Cariboo Regional District (CRD) directors and the mayor and council of the District of 100 Mile determined that changing how the South Cariboo is governed would be cost prohibitive. They were responding to the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce’s presentation to the joint committee on April 23, seeking support for a governance change. While there were points about positive

Roy Scott aspects made during the presentation, the joint committee members said they believed the

key to the change would be to allow business owners living outside of the 100 Mile House municipal boundaries to have a vote for mayor and council. While saying little at the April 23 presentation, the joint committee conducted a “very high level review” of the proposal, which identified a number of concerns, including substantial increases in the costs to taxpayers. District of 100 Mile House CAO Roy Scott noted the new governance model would result in increased costs for policing, road maintenance and the capital replace-

ment costs of roads and bridges throughout the South Cariboo. While CRD Electoral Areas G, H, L and the District of 100 Mile House pay around $485,000 annually, it was projected that after amalgamation, the cost would jump to around $3 million. A low-ball estimate given at the May 14 meeting was “it would cost between $1,200 and $1,500 in municipal taxes alone,” which would be cost prohibitive for all property owners. Noting taxes would climb from the lowest in the South Cariboo to the highest, 100 Mile Mayor

Mitch Campsall said he was worried about the burden that would place on seniors, especially those on fixed incomes. Councillor Dave Mingo agreed and added it would be hard on all homeowners. CRD Area H Director Margo Wagner noted the influx of summer residents keeps a lot of local businesses operating year round through the slower winter months, but if increased taxes forced those cabin owners to get rid of their properties, it would be extremely bad for business.

SHORT TA K E S Local tender wins The District of 100 Mile House has awarded the construction project tender to Kingsgate Excavating for its new rapid infiltration system (RIS) basin. The project will see a new settling pond installed adjacent to the current sewage pond on CanimHendrix Lake Road. The local construction company will deal with any storm water overflow, especially in years of high rainfall and/or snowpack melt. The current system relies on the district’s ability to find people to take away excess storm sewer water for their own uses, such as irrigation. Mayor Mitch Campsall says this aspect can be a concern in years with high water levels. The rapid infiltration basin project contract is valued at $402,993 and is expected to be completed this year, and then fully operational for the next two to three decades.

PAC a hot lunch 100 Mile Elementary school Heather Nelson Free Press

100 Mile House Elementary School Parent Advisory Council (PAC) president Angela Cole and treasurer Denise Balbirnie are pretty excited about the new kitchen that will be installed this summer. Some of the challenges facing teachers and the PAC are the children who come to school with no breakfast or lunch, Balbirnie says, adding the school is the largest in the School District 27, including those in Williams Lake. She notes a couple of programs are in place, including the Fruit Bowl, which welcomes students to take some fruit, and breakfast program that allows any child to get breakfast items. “PAC members noticed that some children were coming to school without lunches. We started a sandwich program, which the people on lunch-time duty would give to the children.” Volunteer parents make healthy sandwiches that are kept in the fridge. Cole notes that last year, teachers did a survey and PAC was presented with a very large number of students who didn’t have lunch or just brought chips or sweets. She adds Balbirnie, Elke Baechman and herself decided to get a healthy lunch order going and cook it them-

Volunteers provide the PAC hot-lunch program each Friday. selves with some parent helpers. Balbirnie says they started the hot-lunch program last year by making and selling the pre-ordered lunches for $2.50 to help cover the costs. Cooking in the concession stand isn’t easy, she adds, because the room isn’t very big and they’re working with an old stove, a fridge, no cooking utensils, pots or pans and very limited counter space. With the funds raised from the hot lunch group, Cole says they successfully feed the children who forget a lunch or need one every day. “We received a grant by Success by 6 funded

through United Way and that gave us our initial start-up fund of $3,000.” Cole adds they also received a $1,000 grant from the Community Action Initiative. “This initial start-up was a pivotal jump to get a year under our belt and to see if we could make it work.” Cole adds the money was used to purchase pots and pans and all of the kitchen items, including trolleys to serve the food. On average 120-150 pre-ordered hot lunches are served Balbirnie says, adding, they have fed up to 180 students. The PAC raised $10,000 to go towards the new

kitchen she notes, but, doesn’t include appliances. Balbirnie says they need a CSA-approved commercial four-burner convection stove, a two-burner stove top, a microwave and a commercial dishwasher. “The kitchen counters are being made now and are planned with an under-the-counter space for the dishwasher and are being constructed by the School District 27 (SD27) maintenance staff.” “We received a grant of $2,000 from Ford’s Drive 1 4 Ur School and Sunrise Ford donated $500.” She says they received a $1,400 Williams Lake and District Credit Union

grant and these grants are for the installation of the kitchen. The new kitchen will go in the space that is currently used as the photocopier room, which, in turn, will go into the concession space. It will be a big job, Balbirnie says, adding the work will start after the children go home for summer holidays. Says Cole: “We have applied to the [SD27] saying we have raised enough money to get our new kitchen, and one that we can move around in and not elbow each other as we cook.” For more information, call Balbirnie at 250-3953691.

“It has come a long way since 1966, and without the people who started this, without their and your great vision, it would not have been accomplished. “We are lucky to have the great facility. You cannot believe the condition [of hospitals] in other towns.” She added the hospital and staff in 100 Mile House is second to none and the local Hospital Auxiliary members work with their hearts and souls. Foundation board member Chris Nickless discussed the funds raised

from the sales of Paul Luft’s book, One Day at a Time - the Story of Ainsworth Lumber. The books were donated to the foundation, Nickless said, adding the bonus was Luft was present to autograph books. All the speakers thanked the work done by Becky Pincott, and her efforts in securing the extended lab hours. The announcement was made by Interior Health laboratory chief technologist Iwona Szczepanski who travelled from Kamloops to attend the ceremony.

The lab is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is now open on Saturday by appointment only from 8 a.m. to noon. “We wanted to improve the access for people who work during the week,” said Pincott. “We hope they will take advantage of the Saturday opening.” She added this may alleviate the lineups for the morning hours during the week. For Saturday laboratory appointments, call 250395-7600.

SCHF… from page A1 with the Save-On-Foods Pointing the Way campaign that was launched on April 7, and noted store customers are welcome to donate their points to the foundation until the end of June. When the points reach a certain dollar value, SaveOn-Foods will match the dollar amount and donate it to the SCHF. Acute Services manager Deb Runge spoke about the changes to the waiting area, including the addition of the new entrance doors, the mural of the original hospital, the collection of photos

of four seasons taken by Shane Gunn and enlarged by Heritage Signs. She noted it is so much more inviting to people. “The brightness of the lobby, with new paint, the photos, everything reflects the pride we have in this facility.” Runge added the refurbishing included an after-hours phone. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett recognized all the board members,sayingthatwithout their commitment, the renovations would not have been done.

Mayor commends Canim Band Carole Rooney Free Press

100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall says it’s important to recognize the participation of Canim Lake Band members at the North Central Local Government Association here May 2-4. Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie and numerous other members officiated at the opening ceremonies by welcoming delegates to traditional First Nations territory. Campsall says the board usually begins the conference by being piped in [bagpiper procession], but this year they were was pleased to have the Canim Lake Band drum them in. “That was a huge significance to them, and for us, it was about working together as a community and showcasing our community as a whole.” Canim Lake Band is an integral part of the community and, therefore, important to include in community and local government activi-

also prepared and provided traditional medicine bags for each of the delegates who attended, he adds. Other First Nations representation came from Esk’etemc Chief Fred Robbins, who spoke to delegates about First Nations relationship building.

Premier Christy Clark talks mines, meat and money Carole Rooney Free Press

Some issues of significant local interest were among those discussed by British Columbia Premier Christy Clark during her May 4 visit to 100 Mile House. Clark talked about the New Prosperity Mines project and a local movement for continued meat slaughter capacity, both of which have potentially important impacts to the community. The premier said she is “hopeful” Taseko Mines Ltd. will obtain federal approval to move forward with its New Prosperity Mine project. “I am in favour of economic development. I am in favour of job creation and, thankfully, so is the federal government.” She noted the project’s “long and troubled history” between Taseko and area First Nations. “There are environmental issues we need to respect. There are First Nations issues that need to be resolved and other community issues as well.” An earlier federal

Christy Clark review process turned down a previous version of the mines project due to environmental concerns raised by Tsilhqot’in First Nations. However, the thumbs down came after the province approved it despite these objections. The Tsilhqot’in National Government continues to strongly oppose the project for various cultural, spiritual and environmental reasons. Clark said many other resource projects have gone ahead in the province by involving surrounding communities, including partnering with First Nations and finding ways for resolving issues that arise. She pointed to her B.C. Liberal government’s goals for 17

new and expanded mines by 2015, with six currently in place. “There are so many examples now across the province of huge economic development projects that First Nations are not just a part of, they’re championing them.... They want jobs for their communities.” A movement by local producers and stakeholders for a meat abattoir in the South Cariboo has been “tough to resolve,” Clark noted. She explained Health Minister Mike de Jong and CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett are still “working through it” toward finding a resolution. “We have to make sure that all of this is done, not just safely, but in a way that is recognized as safe by the jurisdictions to which we ship meat.... But on the other hand, there’s a really strong local demand for these to change. So, Mike [de Jong] and Donna [Barnett] are trying to find a balance between those two things.” Clark said she thinks the issues can be resolved, and

while this “probably won’t satisfy everybody in every way,” she added there is an ability to improve the current situation. “I should say, Donna Barnett has done just a spectacular job in bringing forward the issues in the [region]. She’s really stood strong and firm on all the issues.... The Cariboo is really blessed to have her.” Clark hears Cariboo concepts Clark was in town to speak at the North Central Local Government A s s o c i a t i o n C o n f e r e n c e (NCLGA), where she took a few moments to listen to some ideas put forward by Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond. Richmond said he talked to Clark about

the CRD’s Strong Regions Report and related concepts for developing a strong regional economy and tax base. “It was a very unique opportunity. We don’t often get the premier to come to NCLGA. “Everybody wanted to speak to her, but I did get about four or five minutes.” They discussed the local government’s concepts on what regional needs and economic opportunities exist, he explains. “That’s for the South Cariboo as well. A regional economy, and the ability for us to get revenue from that will benefit the whole region. “Because you’re going to get development [anywhere] in the CRD and it’s the ability for everybody to share in that, instead of just one area.”

PST return allowing businesses to pay online By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Liberal government has tabled its long-awaited legislation to kill the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and return to the old Provincial Sales Tax (PST), with some modernization

to make it easier for small businesses to administer and pay the tax. On May 14, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the PST will return as scheduled in April 2013, with exemptions for haircuts, restaurant meals, bicycles,

movie tickets, gym memberships and all the other rules it had before. Falcon noted the only sales tax breaks that won’t return are temporary exemptions that would have expired by now, including energyconserving windows

and appliances, and fuel-efficient cars. Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained. That includes a 12-per cent provincial tax on privately sold used cars, making the tax equal to that paid at a car dealership.

B.C. Liberals try election gag law again The B.C. Liberal government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spending that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 provincial election. Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced amendments that would put limits on spending by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of an election campaign. A previous 60-day limit was challenged by seven public-sector unions, led by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, and rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge as an unjustified restriction on freedom of speech. Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justified, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005. Current rules restrict party and non-party spending during a formal 28-day election campaign, but contain

no limits on spending before that period. The government intends to submit the proposed 40-day restriction to the B.C. Supreme Court before it takes effect. If a judge approves, the new restrictions would apply for the election set for May 2013. NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged and rejected again. If the B.C. Liberals want to reform election spending, they should ban corporate and union donations to political parties as the NDP and B.C. Conservative parties have advocated, Krog said. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to the B.C. Elections Act limiting spending by non-party advocacy groups to no more than $150,000 in the 60 days before the official 28-day election campaign. Registered political parties were restricted to spending $2.2 million during that time.

GOVERNANCE… from page A1 While other communities that have gone through governance structure changes have been able to negotiate funding arrangements with the province, it was noted those funding arrangements generally do not exceed five years and are intended as a transition measure until local residents assume the full financial burden. However, the joint committee members said they do, and will continue to, support the chamber’s desire to gain voting rights for business owners living outside the municipal boundaries. The committee also offered to support a provincewide lobby effort by the Chambers of

Commerce and/or the submission of another resolution to UBCM. However, the committee was unanimous in that it did not support a

full-scale governance change as the right tool to achieve it. The committee members unanimously concluded they believe the current governance structure

in the South Cariboo serves all parties quite well and changing governance structure would not be a prudent course of action, given the other implications.

Provincial tobacco taxes were increased seven per cent when the HST came in, and that tax will continue. Liquor taxes will also be adjusted to keep retail prices the same as they are now. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the legislation tabled Monday is a relatively simple, with regulations listing the many rules and exemptions still to come this fall, so businesses can prepare for next spring. “I think they could have done it faster and they should have done it faster.” The government expects to save about $9 million a year in administration costs by using a new online registration and payment system for business, which British Columbia expects to administer with about 100 fewer

staff. Businesses will have to set up their computers to comply, with software expected to cost them about $1,000. Low-income families will give up a $230-per-person rebate that was introduced to offset the higher costs of HST to consumers. As of April 2013, the PST rebate will resume, paying $75 per single adult with an income of $15,000 or less, and $75 per parent for families with an income of $18,000 or less.

Falcon noted an independent panel found the end of the HST will mean $520 million less revenue the B.C. treasury next year, $645 million less the following year and increasing lost revenue after that. “Clearly, any government in the future is going to have less revenue available to it, there’s no doubt about that. Obviously, we’re going to have to manage the challenge of bringing back a tax that is less efficient and conducive to economic development.”

A half-dozen regional resolutions were successfully put forward at the North Central Local G o v e r n m e n t Association (NCLGA) conference in 100 Mile House on May 2-4, says Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond. “We had six resolutions and they all went through.” Resolutions passed at the annual NCLGA convention are sent to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) each fall, and if they are passed there, UBCM then lobbies the province to pursue the suggested changes. Five of the CRD’s resolutions related

Al Richmond to rural living or the ranching industry. Two were regarding agricultural fencing, he says, adding one was for fencing on highways and the other for interface fencing adjacent to agricultural land. The first suggests

asking the province to consider fencing funds for main and secondary highways, to prevent hardship to producers from livestock kills, Richmond explains, but also to help ensure the safety of B.C. motorists. The second fencing-related resolution asks that the province, which, he notes, collects Crown lease fees on range land, assume responsibility for funding for ranchers to fence boundaries where agricultural lands abut residential properties. The CRD also recommended the province provide legal means to allow ranchers to apply herbicides to deal with noxious weeds on Crown lands where they hold range ten-

School superintendent retires At its recent 24 School District 27 meeting, school board chair Will Van Osch announced schools superintendent Diane Wright will be retiring Aug. 31. An executive search will begin immediately, he said. “We have this retirement letter, which we’re regretfully accepting. We’d like to thank her for her service to the district and the

work she’s done, and we’ll miss her greatly.” Wright said she will also miss working with everyone at the district. The board is entering into a search process for a new superintendent, Van Osch explained, as well as contracting a company to do some administrative work for the district.

ure, since they can already apply them on their own land Richmond adds. “We’re suggesting if we want to control that on our range land the way we should be, there is a modified permit of some sort, or some permission to allow those people with tenure out there to deal with that stuff.” A CRD resolution carried unanimously at the convention was of an importance that he says will likely “resonate” through the community. The regional district also recommended preventing the release of dangerous offenders into small, rural communities where police detachments, probation offices, counselling and rehabilitation services don’t exist. “It’s two-fold; one is protection of the public, but the other is fairness to the one who is released.” Another resolution was to develop a national strategy on protecting potable water, Richmond adds. “We still have

issues within the realm of protecting water and a concern that if there’s not some standards perhaps and some means to protect aquifers, one could be considered to be developed.” The final resolution requested the business section of the UBCM allow more time for discussion and debate of resolutions, as the CRD chair notes some don’t even make it to the floor for discussion if time runs out. “We did much better last year [at UBCM], but the members of NCLGA and our board would like to see that business session is done. “It’s the prime reason for going ... and those resolutions are important to our communities and our regions.”

Editorial

Spending clarity needed

t’s closing in on the next provincial election, so it’s not surprising the B.C. Liberal government, which has lost a lot of popularity since the 2009 provincial election, wants to set thirdparty spending limits in the run-up to the day we head to the polls. The government has introduced amendments to the British Columbia Elections Act to limit spending for unions, business groups and nonparty advertisers 40 days before the election is called. The B.C. Liberals tried to push through a 60-day election-advertising gag before the last provincial election, but a B.C. Supreme Court ruling shot it down. Now, the Christy Clark government is taking another shot at blocking third-party advertising with a 40-day blanket. The premier argues the spending limit should be allowed because the election must occur in May 2013. Isn’t it strange that this was not the B.C. Liberal mindset in the run-up to the referendum on abolishing the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) when hundreds of thousands of dollars was being spent by the pro-HST side in the fight to save a tax that was rammed down the throats of British Columbians? They say money can’t buy you love, and that’s a lesson the B.C. Liberals are still stinging from; but, hey, let’s not throw “sticks” at the beleaguered government. There is a bigger problem here if the government is successful in its election gag law. A research study conducted after the 2009 provincial election showed the pre-campaign advertising gag law affected not only big spenders but also the little guys who spend next to nothing. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the 2008 law caused a lot of confusion and self-censorship because all third parties had to register with Elections BC before they could do any advertising, and this caused a “chill effect.” In other words, there were too many hoops to jump through just to voice your opinions on the politicians, their parties and their parties’ platforms. So, why would they bother? It is this kind of dampening that keeps people away from the polls and nobody wants that to happen do they? We would be far better off if we had a specific and clearly defined set of election spending rules.

Don’t shoot the messenger When I was home recently, I found there was a lot of confusion about the timber supply and job loss numbers I had commented on in the press. Some people were more angry than confused, some were angry at me. The numbers are not mine. The timber supply documents released to the public come from internal government assessments of the state of our pine-beetle ravaged forests. The documents clearly indicate all the companies operating in our area played a major role in this analysis and it was the companies that were raising the alarm about log shortages in the near future. These documents are available on both my website and the government’s. The government and industry’s assessment has been confirmed by independent analysis done for the International Wood Markets (IWM) consulting firm, which advises investors about the state of our forest industry. IWM’s first assessment of the immediacy of the reduction in cut levels in our region was made public in 2010, so the looming log shortage issue is not “news” to the investment community. The major confusion surrounding the timber supply numbers stems from the difference between

BOB SIMPSON

GUEST SHOT the “available timber,” which determines the annual allowable cut, and the “commercially viable timber,” which, in today’s market conditions, determines how far the mills can go to get the available timber and how economic it is to run the beetlekilled wood. While both reports show we have “available” timber to keep our mills running to 2020, industry clearly informed government the weakening of the Chinese market, the failure of the United States market to return to strong demand, and the increasing costs of obtaining and processing the beetle wood means we may face log shortages much sooner than predicted. Despite what some companies are now telling their employees and contractors, government documents make it clear industry is telling them we may face log shortages and mill closures sooner than expected because of poor market conditions. The job-loss numbers in the government documents are confusing and unnecessarily alarming. The government uses peak production numbers to project possible job

losses in our area, but as the independent analysis shows, a lot of this production capacity has already been shut down due to market conditions, especially in the Williams Lake area. Still, everyone agrees that Quesnel will be the hardest hit and needs the most support to design a transition strategy. I urge everyone to read the government’s summary document and IWM’s overview of their report, so we can all be informed about the nature of the challenges we’re facing. We cannot begin to address these challenges if we choose to remain ignorant of the facts or susceptible to someone giving us false and misleading information. My only goal in all of this is to ensure we can have an informed dialogue about our options and we can plan our communities’ transitions together. There are plenty of opportunities for us to recreate our forestry industry, grow our mining, tourism and agriculture sectors, and develop our community infrastructure to retain and attract people, but this work must be energized and framed in the reality of the immediate challenges we face. If you’re still and confused and angry, please call my constituency office. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Ferry fleet sails into storm ENTERTAINMENT

Letters to the editor Prosperity Mine means economic prosperity To the editor: Look around your home, office, vehicle, and the resources used to heat your home. What goes into making these things is harvested from the earth. It is not Taseko’s objective to sacrifice the beauty of the Cariboo but to harvest the resources that go into our everyday items we take for granted, and do it in a safe manner. I have been following the Prosperity Mine project and hope it will come to the Cariboo. While the Cariboo is a perfect place to retire to, it is also a perfect place to raise a family. Unfortunately, our children have to look elsewhere for jobs and that means they take their families with them. I went to the Valley Room for the recent informational meeting and was pleased there were over 150 supporters in attendance. I was impressed with Taseko’s initiative to address concerns from their previous proposal. This project would bring economic prosperity for the Cariboo. It would attract young families to our communities; improve the existing amenities, such as schools, hospitals, recreation cen-

ters and maybe a pool. Real estate would once again move with the addition of 700 mine employees. We would attract businesses, so we could shop local instead of taking our dollars out of our communities. This would halt the number of businesses closing on a monthly basis around the Cariboo because of the “tough economic times.” We complain about the lack of health care, jobs, shopping, etc., and now we have a chance to change that. I believe Prosperity Mine to be a safe solution for economic growth in the Cariboo, but I will let the “professionals” decide that with the hope of a positive outcome. I have heard more support for this project than against it and I know when the review panels come in search of comments, I will be there as a supporter. I would also like to give my children the opportunity to come back here to build a life with their families (my grandchildren). So you see I am concerned about the future of our children’s children. Jeanette McCrea 100 Mile House

A crock of nonsense To the editor: Finally, we are getting a glimpse into what Premier Christy Clark meant when she promised to open up government. British Columbians are getting a chance to voice their opinion on which of two Mondays in February is the best day for the province’s newest statutory holiday. Gee whiz, do you really think British Columbians need to be consulted on such a trivial matter? This is just another politically motivated diversion for smiley-face photo-ops. Why doesn’t Clark ask British Columbians if they are in favour of an investigation into the BC Rail scandal? Oh dear, that would mean really opening up her B.C. Liberal government to scrutiny. Lloyd Atkins Vernon See more letters to the editor on page A12.

VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown corporation was quasiprivatized in the early years of B.C. Liberal rule. Politically, there is a lot at stake here. Premier Christy Clark’s yearlong “families first” routine boils down to two projects, reining in rate increases at BC Hydro and BC Ferries. For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signalling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and repeatedly said the days of fully staffed vessels sailing with one-third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end. Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 million annual subsidy. Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was first out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum as paltry. It’s difficult to capture how selfcentred and insulting this is, but I’ll try. Consider the B.C. transportation ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations for the province’s entire vast, weatherbattered road network. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 million, and increasingly, it

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake. Basic financial information also exposes the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique. It’s part of the highway system, he constantly says, comparing empty ferries with empty roads, while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs. This fiscal-fantasy policy implies another huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he has no idea. A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its profitable main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast ferries.” The story is detailed in Head On!, a 2004 book by former British

Columbia deputy highways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government completed the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo. This run was to take truck and other traffic from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the NDP’s Dave Barrett defeated the W.A.C. Bennett government in 1972. On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. However, Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters they were losing half their work hours. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 kilometres, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time. On the Duke Point run, this meant at least eight-and-a-half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.” It’s something to keep in mind, as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

Cariboo wolf slaughter needs to stop To the editor: I am writing regarding the page A27 article in the May 2 edition of the Free Press, headlined Trappers win cash in wolf competition. Are we supposed to be proud of the wolf slaughter in the Cariboo? This old-fashioned mentality needs to stop. Recently, I was told by a rancher that he shot 76 wolves over the winter near his ranch out west by the Fraser River. When I asked if they were bothering his cattle, he said, “No, I shot them just in case.” On my way home, I passed a First Nations reserve and there were four wolf hides hanging up at a home near the main road. Do you not care what will happen to the balance of the animals and forests if the wolves

are gone? One person in the article said they just wanted a balance. Do you even know how many wolves there are in the area? I doubt it very much. I have been in the bush here over 60 years both on the ground and in the air. At the rate you are slaughtering the wolves there won’t be any left period.

What is wrong with Ministry of Environment and Conservation? Is allowing this a political move on your part? If so, you need to be ashamed of yourself. Have you no morals of your own?

Newsbeat Around the province More fake gun fun in Kelowna KELOWNA - The Lake Country RCMP seized what turned out to be a pellet gun after reports of someone shooting at ducks from the dock of the local lake side pub. The Lake Country RCMP received a report of a man on the north side of the dock at the Turtle Bay Pub with what appeared to be a black handgun, May 10 at 6:30 p.m. “The report indicated that the man was shooting at ducks. Police attended and found the individual,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The 20-year-old Lake Country man was still on the dock with friends and claimed that they had been using a pellet gun to shoot across the water to the other dock, not at the ducks. The pellet gun they were using could’ve certainly been mistaken for a real firearm, even up close.” The pellet gun was seized by police and will be destroyed. No charges have been recommended. “When police receive complaints about firearms, they have a duty to intervene accordingly, based on the information received,” said Clark. “This presents a great challenge to the police as they must respond appropriately, to ensure public safety and that of the responding officers, all the while mindful that the gun seen may not be real.”

Man arrested after bank robbery QUESNEL -A 41-year-old male is in police custody following a bank robbery in Quesnel. Shortly before 5 p.m. on May 11, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a bank robbery. Staff at the Scotiabank called 9-1-1 after a lone male entered the bank, demanded money and quickly fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Members of the Quesnel RCMP were in the area and apprehended the suspect within minutes — less than one block away. The man was arrested for robbery and will remain in police custody awaiting a bail hearing.

Many risk factors that may contribute to dementia later in life, can occur in middle age. These include high cholesterol, obesity and high blood pressure. So taking care of your body and your brain in your middle years may stave off dementia in the later years. Early diagnosis is important in many diseases and doctors are hoping for success in studies being carried out to ﬁnd a “biomarker” in the blood that would indicate dementia may be brewing. One biomarker has already been found that predicts low oxygen in the brain. This is an early indicator of dementia. More work is to be done but the future is looking brighter for early diagnoses of dementias.

“Mmmm…Something smells good!”

Local motorist with learner’s licence busted for drinking driving POLICE REPORT 100 Mile RCMP responded to 69 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Drinking driver On May 13, 100 Mile RCMP stopped a vehicle travelling on Highway 97 near Ainsworth Road as it was weaving within its lane while going south up the hill. The male driver,

who was operating the vehicle under a Class 7 learner’s license, displayed symptoms of liquor consumption. An approved roadside screening device was administered by the officer and the result was a fail. The driver was detained and returned to the 100 Mile House detachment. None of the other passengers were sober and were subsequently given rides home. The vehicle was towed. The driver pro-

vided two breath samples and the results were 160 mg per cent in both instances. Charges of impaired driving and driving over the legal limit are being recommended to Crown against an 18-yearold male resident of the 100 Mile House area. Box burned On May 9, 100 Mile RCMP received a report that a newspaper box had been set on fire in the 103 Mile on Park Drive.

The replacement cost for the newspaper box is approximately $120. Anyone having information about this incident is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456, or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Aggressive biker On May 9, 100 Mile RCMP and 100 Mile Traffic Services responded to a report of a motorcycle collision on Tatton Station Road at 105 Mile.

Witnesses reported the motorcycle had been driven in an aggressive manner just prior to the operator losing control and going into the ditch. The male driver had been taken to hospital in a private vehicle where he was treated for minor injuries and released. The motorcycle was towed from the scene. The 18-yearold driver, who had a learner’s motorcycle licence, was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Regulations crack down on metal theft the province and fulfill record-keeping and sharing requirements under the new law will risk fines of up to $100,000, as well as up to six months’ imprisonment. The new regulations are the result of extensive consultations with utilities, municipalities and scrap metal dealers. They are designed

to respond to the significant number of thefts that continue to incur tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to utility and municipal assets across B.C., including copper telephone wire, manhole covers and sign posts. The province has also worked with municipalities to ensure the law and regulations comple-

ment existing bylaws in a dozen B.C. communities. The July 23 implementation date will allow time to educate metal dealers, recyclers and their customers, and to ensure those who must register have time to do so. An esti-

mated 60 to 70 dealers and recyclers will be affected. The province has also worked with the recycling industry to minimize associated regulatory costs and protect the personal information of those who sell metal to scrap dealers.

New regulations will soon come into effect to help reduce thefts of copper wire and other high-value metals, says Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General. The regulations follow the B.C. Liberal government’s approval of Canada’s first provincial metal theft law in November 2011. Under the new regulations that will come into effect July 23, British Columbians trying to sell metals often targeted by thieves will need to present identification to the scrap purchaser, who will, in turn, share purchase details daily with police.

British Columbia well positioned for clean energy To the editor: How often do people stop and think about the incredibly sustainable province we live in? Virtually all of British Columbia’s electricity comes from clean, renewable hydroelectric sources. We have enough untapped hydro potential to do the same again several times over, particularly if we make use of a distributed network of low-impact run-ofriver projects. We also have vast, renewable forests that suck up carbon like a vacuum cleaner and store it for long periods of time, if not indefinitely as wooden objects, furniture and other structures. I can’t think of another place

on Earth that can make the same sustainability claims we can here in B.C. Add in the renewable wind energy, biomass, geothermal, wave and tidal energy B.C. is capable of generating, plus the strong commitment to the environment

shown by British Columbians, and it’s clear B.C. is wellpositioned to meet the challenges of the 21st century sustainably, as well as renewably and prosperously.

Cities protest RCMP raise By Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. cities say they’ve been blindsided by surprise RCMP pay raises that the federal government enabled just as it was signing a new policing contract that was supposed to usher in a new era of trust and cost control. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender has sent a letter on behalf of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews expressing “our complete shock and surprise” over the undisclosed pay lifts, which he warned will create “significant backlash” from councils and taxpayers. Fassbender, the UBCM rep in the recent contract talks, said cities don’t yet know how much more money – if any – they will have to carve out of their budgets to fund the higher RCMP payroll. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said she has been

assured by Ottawa administrative savings totaling $195 million will partly flow to cities and could entirely offset the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs. However, Bond said she is seeking more details. “I am deeply concerned about any potential impacts on our municipalities and that this information came as a surprise.” Toews has said cities were advised months ago that raises on the order of 1.5 per cent were possible this year, but neither the province nor cities were formally notified of the details of the compensation package. Even if the pay hikes end up cost-neutral or better for cities, Fassbender said the lack of communication and consultation is deeply troubling, as is the timing. “You just can’t plan this way.” The province signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21 — ending its threat

to terminate the Mounties and form a new provincial police force – after securing extensive promises of more say for cities on spending decisions. Several cities have already ratified the new contract, including Surrey, Kelowna and the Township of Langley. Fassbender said cities that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years’ notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partnering with existing municipal forces. “I’m still going to urge our council to sign the new contract,” Fassbender said. The new contract creates a UBCM-led committee with 10 civic reps who are promised much more hands-on control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role. Cities that sign the RCMP deal can still opt out at any time on two years notice, and a review of the contract is promised every five years.

Van fire... Around 3:15 p.m. on May 10, a late model van caught fire just north of the north entrance to the trailer park at 103 Mile. RCMP and the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded. Fire chief Darrell Blades says the fire appears to have started in the vehicle’s wiring. He adds the driver was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital and was treated for smoke inhalation.

Ranchettes house fire leads to pot Heather Nelson Free Press

A fire destroyed a home in the 6100 block of Horse Lake Road North late in the evening of May 12. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue members responded to the structure fire at 11:08 p.m., says fire chief Darrell Blades. “We were on scene for about four hours with about an hour-and-a-half of cleanup. When we arrived, there was a fully involved residential structure fire.” The lone occupant was on the property, Blades says, but was not in the building at the time of the fire. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded with 13 members and a command vehicle, an engine, a brush unit and a tender, Blades says. They were assisted by seven members from Lone Butte Volunteer Fire Department along with a rescue and tender, and the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department responded with seven members, a command vehicle and

two tenders. “Water was shuttled by the four tenders, as the area does not have fire-hydrant protection,” says Blades. “We [100 Mile House Fire-Rescue] left the scene at 2:05 a.m., and with clean-up time at the hall, the members finished just before 4 a.m.” He adds the RCMP, BC Ambulance Service, Fortis and BC Hydro also assisted at the scene. The fire is not considered suspicious and an investigation is under way, Blades says. They returned to the scene around 8:30 a.m. to deal with a rekindle on the backside of the building, Blades says, adding it was from all the debris and the crew was on the scene for about an hour. In a separate out-building, there was a small amount of marijuana plants, says RCMP Sgt. Don McLean. “I can confirm there were some marijuana plants seized,” he says, adding there were less than 70 plants. “It’s still early in the investigation.”

The spirit of the relay is still strong Heather Nelson Free Press

With only seven teams registered so far, Relay for Life leadership chair Alaina Fryer says they need more teams, but the day is still going forward. “We would like at least 10 teams, but no matter what, we are still going forward. It would be fantastic if some corporate teams signed up.” In past years, she adds, they have had up to 20 teams participating in the event. Relay for Life will run on June 9 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., at Centennial Park. There will be a registration table set up at the park, but Fryer says preregistering would be preferable. Some activities are planned for the day, although Fryer says there will be less than in previous years. “We will have the children’s activity area looked after by Tom McIntosh of Lake of the Trees Bible Camp. We’ll do one activity from last year, a word scramble that the participants enjoyed.” She adds one more activity may be scheduled, but the emphasis of the day is more of communicating and sharing in a loving and caring way with others. Rob Fry will provide music and

Refreshment tents will be onsite with the generous donations from Tim Hortons, Safeway and Save-OnFoods, Fryer notes. “There will be muffins, coffee, hot chocolate, fruits and veggies. Donation cans will be available, but people are welcome to the refreshments.” She adds vendors will be selling

hotdogs, hamburgers, pop and water. Teams are expected to have at least one member on the track during the 12-hour relay, Fryer says, adding the exception would be the scheduled activities and the luminaries (candle bags). The luminary ceremony is scheduled at dusk, she says, adding it is the most emotional time of the day. “The lit bags are placed along the river, and everyone walks from bag to bag.” In the three years she has participated in the Relay for Life, Fryer notes she has never seen a dry eye during this ceremony. People are welcome to decorate their bags to remember a loved one, to celebrate a cancer survivor, or to encourage someone going through treatments. The $5 bags are available at Higher Ground Natural Foods and Donex Pharmacy & Department Store. People are welcome to decorate their own bags or they can be pre-registered and volunteers will decorate them for you. Team registration is easy, she explains, whether it’s done online at www.relaybc.ca or by filling out a form at Donex. For more information, call Fryer at 250-709-8082.

Measuring Up the North excellence awards presented Ken Alexander Free Press

The District of 100 Mile House is the winner of the 2012 Measuring Up the North Award of Excellence in the category for populations less than 5,000. The announcement was made during the final day (May 4) of the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) annual general meeting and convention in 100 Mile, which started on May 2. The District of 100 Mile House was honoured for accessible trails and projects in the community. The trails projects, which were officially opened in 2011, saw a low-mobility trail built near South Cariboo Visitor

Centre, at Highway 97 and Airport Road, and around the 100 Mile Marsh. “The District of 100 Mile House council and staff have been looking at ways to make our community more accessible for all residents of the South Cariboo,” said 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. “We are truly honoured to be the recipients of this award, and we will continue to seek out opportunities to improve accessibility for the residents and visitors to 100 Mile House.” Meanwhile, the Spinal Cord Injury British Columbia (formerly the BC Paraplegic Association) was announced as the 2012 winner of the Measuring Up ONLY

the North Award of Excellence for populations more than 5,000. Recently, the Spinal Cord Injury British Columbia (SCIBC) office in Prince George opened a oneof-a-kind resource centre. Northern B.C. residents, who have a spinal-cord injury or related physical disability, and their families now have a place to go for information and advice, with peer support from people who have experience with spinal-cord injuries. “ E v e r y o n e involved has done a tremendous amount of work in making their communities more inclusive and accessible,” says Pat Harris, SCIBC information services manager. “They

have been creative in applying a broad spectrum of accessibility initiatives, from riverside pathways to library elevators. The work they have done will leave a legacy, not just for people with disabilities, but for seniors, parents and many others in the community who will benefit from the upgrades.” The goal of the Measuring Up the North program is to create livable, age-friendly, disa b i l i t y - f r i e n d l y, universally designed, inclusive communities that benefit all citizens and visitors. Further information about the Measuring Up the North program is available online at w w w. m e a s u r e u p thenorth.com.

British Columbia Rodeo Association back in town Heather Nelson Free Press

Dust off your boots and cowboy hat and head on down to the BCRA rodeo at the 100 Mile House & District Outriders Grounds behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 20-21. This will be the first time in years the rodeo has been sanctioned by the British Columbia Rodeo Association (BCRA). It’s been 14 or 15 years since we’ve been a BCRAapproved event, says South Cariboo Rodeo president Randy Brodoway. “This brings us a lot more competition. It’s going to be a great couple of days.” Holding the BCRA-approved events helps entrants build up their points, as well as the prize money, Brodoway says, adding points accumulated throughout the year help contestants to earn a berth to compete in the Canadian Finals Rodeo held in Edmonton, Alberta. Competitors from all over the province will be coming to 100 Mile House, he notes, with a few locals competing as well, including Ty Lytton and Dave Atkinson. Tons of action will keep the audience on the edge their seats, with bull riding, bronc riding, team roping, cow riding, barrels and much more, he says, adding there will also be junior events, such as barrel racing, steer riding and breakaway roping. The bull fighters are Earl Call and Atkinson, and the pickup men are Call, Chad Seelhoff and Leland Jasper. “The grand entry is by the Wild West Riders from Williams Lake who will bring in the flag and ride during opening the ceremonies.” Professional rodeo

From bronc riders to bull riders and barrel racing to break-away roping, the Outriders Grounds behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre will be an exciting time in 100 Mile House on May 20-21. The BCRA-sanctioned rodeo has a list of exhilarating events that will be sure to keep the audience entertained. and extreme bull riding announcer Keith Dinwoodie will be offering the running commentary on the action from the ring. “We are fortunate to have someone of his calibre and credibility. He mostly works in the United States. “But he loves 100 Mile House and says he is thrilled to be coming here.” C+ Rodeos of 150 Mile House and Diamond D Rodeo Bulls of 100 Mile House will be supplying the stock. “It’s exciting to see

a BCRA sanctioned event back in 100 Mile House,” says Roy Call who with

brother Earl run C+ Rodeos. “It’s a full rodeo event, it will bring

more contestants in and should bring in more spectators and we’re looking for-

Brodoway says, adding the local rodeo committee will have more challenges and more work, but the results should be great. It’s nice to have a hometown rodeo, says Atkinson of Diamond D Rodeo Bulls. “We’re bringing some great bulls; some were at the PBR [Professional Bull Riders] finals in Las Vegas. “Maybe our best bull is Formula 51. He was just at the Williams Lake Stampede two years ago and has been at the Las Vegas PBR.” Atkinson says the upcoming rodeo will have some great rodeo champions participating, including Canadian High-School Rodeo Finals champion Ryan Jasper of Riske Creek. Admission to the rodeo is $10 for adults, $5 for youth seven to 18 years and seniors, and children six and under get in free. The grounds open at 11 a.m. with the action starting at 1. A cowboy church held by Blair Bates of Cowboy Valley Church will be held at 9:30 a.m. on May 20.

Louisiana Hayride coming to town May 19 Heather Nelson Free Press

Classic Concert Series presents the Music of the Louisiana Hayride is rolling into the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 19 at 7:30 p.m. The origin of the Hayride was a live radio show, broadcast in Shreveport, Louisiana and ran successfully from 1948 to 1960. It launched the careers of music icons Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Faron Young and dozens more. The Hayride performers, who are also the promoters, the entertainers, the set crew and the drivers all live in the Okanagan. “My wife Lori and I produce the show,” says Gil Risling. “Lori has written three different shows already and a Christmas show, so the Louisiana Hayride Show is ongoing.”

He adds they have registered the name “Louisiana Hayride” for Canada and now own the rights. The six cast members and a road crew have been touring for more than two years, Risling says, adding they plan to tour for many years to come with new shows on an annual basis. “It’s been humbling and gratifying to be able to perform and keep this wonderful era of music alive. “It’s not out there in main stream media anymore, so for us to recreate a time when music was played at a quieter level and [people] could understand every word is very gratifying.” He adds they have been well received across western Canada. The rendition in story and song takes folks back to those days and that live radio show, Risling says, adding the

audience can find out why Roy Orbison wore dark sunglasses, where and when the phrase, “Elvis has left the building,” was first spoken and what Sony James and Apollo 13 have in common? There are many other interesting stories, he explains. Risling notes there will be great songs, such as El Paso and all the Patsy Cline hits sung by the incredibly talented and “sound alike” Andrea Anderson who sang in Nashville for several years. Penticton restaurant manager Adam Fitzpatrick, who portrays Elvis in the Hayride, recently won the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Contest at San Diego’s Pala Casino Spa and Resort, which automatically earned Fitzpatrick an entry into the International Elvis contest on Aug. 17-18 during Elvis Week in Memphis. “We are pretty proud of Adam.

started a few years ago on a dare at the Penticton Pacific Northwest Elvis Festival in 2008, where he won the amateur division. “He’s a great kid,

only 26 years old and constantly rehearsing his moves.” Risling says one of the big jokes around town is when people go to the restaurant, they ask, “Is Elvis in

Go Green

Aeration and de-thatching for healthy lawn Aeration helps a lawn grow by making room for water and fertilizer intake which promotes root growth and prevents thatching. Mechanical core aeration will help alleviate excessive thatch, reduce water run-off and increase water penetration. Spring or Fall is the best time to use aeration to enhance the development of a deep root system so that is can withstand drought, disease and insect stresses. Specially designed aeration equipment consists of a series of hollow coring tines. When these are rolled over the lawn they puncture the soil, systematically removing small soil plugs. The equipment is compact and can be easily used in conÀned areas. The plugs of soil and thatch are pulled up and left on the lawn, as they contain beneÀcial micro organisms that will help to break down the remaining thatch. They will disappear back into the lawn in

7 - 10 days or with the Àrst mowing. Raking the cores to break them up will speed their disappearance from the lawn surface. Aeration may be used 1 or 2 times each season. It is usually recommended for the spring and in the fall when soil is moist. Gardeners know about plants becoming pot bound and needing to be re-potted now and then. Lawn grasses can be said to become pot bound as well. As lawns grow and spread they produce a layer of

thatch just above the soil. Thatch consists of intermingled living, dead and decomposing plant parts. If thatch becomes overdeveloped, the soil beneath can become compacted, making it difÀcult for roots to grow, and limiting the movement of air, moisture and nutrients through the soil. This layer of matter can also form a good harbour for disease and insects. Article provided by Jim Kirby, Performance All Terrain & Rentals Ltd.

Walking for birds and botany scheduled Heather Nelson Free Press

The Fifth Annual Bird and Botany Walk, which is hosted by the Horse Lake Community Farm Co-op (HLCFC), is scheduled for May 27, starting at 8 a.m. Starting as just a birding walk five years ago, the organizers added botany last year. It was so popular, says guide Ken MacKenzie, they are add-

ing it again. “My wife, Kristi Iverson, is the plant lady. She had a large group of people very interested in the local plants. “Our son, William, who is six, will be along to point out his insects. Actually, he is very knowledgeable.” The bird people and the plant people usually split off into two separate groups, he adds. MacKenzie says his

wife will be concentrating on what’s flowering and answering questions on the different types of plants, adding that there is a high interest in the natural flora of the area. The bird walk will probably start around the beaver dam, MacKenzie says, adding there is a wonderful array of different areas, for different birds, from waterfowl to nesting

birds. In the past, there have been more than 45 variety of birds identified during the walk. It will take about three to four hours for the session of easy walking, he says, adding people are welcome to come and go as they please. It is suggested that people bring water and refreshments, and wear proper foot wear. “Be prepared for the weather; last year, it was

quite cold. Although you never know what it’s going to be like, this is the Cariboo.” There is no charge to attend the walk but donations to HLCFC would be gratefully accepted. The walk is at the Betty Place, 6298 Doman Rd., located at the far eastern end of Horse Lake. For more information, call 250-396-7403 or 250395-4042.

Frogs and toads are a beneÀcial addition to any garden. If you don’t already have a pond or bog area in your garden, you can easily create one and provide the environment that these helpful creatures require. Construction of a frog pond is not complicated but the site should be selected carefully. The pond should be located in a mostly shady spot. There should be three levels to the pond: a deep end, a shallow bog-like zone and damp wetland-like edges. By creating these different areas you will be providing a deep area that enables both escape from predators and hibernation in the winter, a shelf areas for plants that will add interest to your pond and sloping sides to allow easy access for the pond residents. Plants should cover about 50-70% of the pond’s surface. Native plants provide shelter and shade within the pond and around the edges.

108 Mile teen golfer off to a greatNTERTAINMENT start Ken Alexander Free Press

108 Mile resident Lynden Jeffrey started his golf season off by attending a high-performance golf camp in Vancouver in midApril. His mom, Caroline, notes that camp organizers normally only allow 12 youth to go, but they are trying to help Zone 8, so they increased the number to 14 this year.

Lynden Jeffrey Lynden says it was a great experience and he learned a lot of good information at the camp, including the importance of eating properly. “I also learned not to get mad when I’m playing because once you get mad, it’s hard to get it out of your system. The mental part of the game was the big thing I got out of the camp.” Noting it was the first time he had been to a camp like this, Lynden says he learned things that will stay with him for the rest of his golfing career. Amazingly, the Grade 9 student has been playing competitive golf since he was nine years old, and is currently playing against people who are two years older than he is. His first competition of this season was in Summerland, where he was playing against 57 golfers on April 21. He ended up taking the overall low net bragging rights. Noting he was competing against two guys who were a couple of years older, with zero

handicaps and had already been playing for a month, Lynden says he started off with three bogeys and was worried about embarrassing himself. However, the don’t-get-mad lesson kicked in and he turned his game around. “I was trying so hard not to get mad, and they started getting mad.... I ended up beating them with the mental game.” He says the best part of his game is his putting. His driving is normally pretty good until he starts getting over-confident, he adds. Noting he is being coached by 108 Resort Golf Course pro Andy Wahnschaff, Lynden says he has to work on his accuracy. “I didn’t have lessons when I first started, so I was just swinging the way it felt good. In my mind, I felt like the target was way over to the left and then all of my shots were going to the right. “My body was lined up for the target, but my lower body had too much movement.” Those are the things he has to work on with Wahnschaff. Lynden has set some golfing goals and, of course, he wants to become a golf pro and make the “tour.” However, he is definitely interested in getting a university golf scholarship, so he can get his education paid for, and then decide what he wants to do after that. The 15-year-old will still be able to compete in the junior category until he reaches his 19th birthday, and then he’ll have to make the big decisions. On the circuit Lynden competed against 56 golfers (18 years and under) at the Salmon Arm Golf and Country Club on May 5. He tied for 16th place overall and got the low net in his division (16 and under). The next day at the Vernon Golf and Country Club, he went up against 74 golfers (18 and under) and tied for sixth place overall. He teed off at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club on May 11 against 74 golfers (18 and under) and tied for 12th overall. He was also second low net in 14- to 16-year-old division, with a round of six over par 78. On May 12 at Kelowna Springs, he played against 66 golfers and tied for 10th overall (18 and under). He shot a four over 75 and was the first low net in 14-16 division.

Local U16 soccer player Kaila Paterson, left, had a strong game against the Williams Lake U15 during Cariboo Youth Soccer League action at the 100 Mile soccer complex on May 13. While Paterson and her teammates dominated play for the most part, the game ended in a scoreless draw.

Cariboo youth soccer action draws enthusiastic crowds There was some outstanding competition at the soccer park, as 100 Mile House hosted teams from Prince George, Quesnel and Williams Lake in Cariboo Youth Soccer League action, May 13. It was a perfect day for soccer under sunny skies with a light breeze. All pitches were full of action and spectators were cheering wildly with every offensive thrust and defensive standoff. 100 Mile U16 girls played the Williams Lake U15 squad to a scoreless draw, with most of the play in the Prince George end. 100 Mile looked strong in the second half, but could not put the goal in the net, coach John Park says, adding Megan Cole suffered an ankle injury and missed the end of the game. They lost their second game 2-1 against Quesnel U16. Courtney Delinsky scored on a penalty shot 10 minutes into the game. See SOCCER… page A31

THANK YOU!

De-spooking clinic phenomenal experience for horse and rider By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle Foothills Farms, off Horse Lake Road, was the setting for the Bill Richey De-spooking Clinic, April 28-29. Fourteen participants came from all around the South Cariboo and the class included all age groups and breeds from warmbloods to paints to Friesians. Debbie Hughes, the facilitator for the weekend, gave a PowerPoint presentation on Saturday morning on how horses see and how their unique sight adaptations lend to spooking. “Their depth perception is not good because of their line of vision – a rock far away is flat but as they approach it becomes 3-D,” she explained. Each eye sees independently and each side of the brain “thinks” independently, which is why riders get the exasperating spook on the left after passing the same item on the right 10 times, she added. Sunday began with another PowerPoint presentation, including a sobering talk on predators, and the importance of riders

Hitting them straight key for ladies

Dr. Neil VanderHorst

Some 26 women competed in the May 8 Ladies Day, using the Net Score plus Trouble Points format at the 108 Resort Golf Course. The key to this format is to stay on the fairway, which is not so easy, except for the straight shooters, says club vice-captain Gloria Corno. “It was windy. However, they were a tough group of gals and dinner conver-

sation was centred on how may trouble points one accumulated. There was a lot of talk about signing up for lessons.” First flight Adjusted 0-21.5 factor Patsy Wilkinson took first place, while Leslie Bell was second, and Joanne Garrow and Shirley Boyson tied for third place. The Birdie Pot draw was carried over and J. Garrow won the Par Pot draw

Second flight Adjusted 21.6-26.5 factor Maureen Menzies captured first place, while Pauline Weigelt, Julietta Morete and Eileen King tied for second place. The Birdie Pot draw was won by Patsy Wilkinson, and the Par Pot draw went to Deb Wiltshire.

Third flight Adjusted 26.6-40.4 factor Lynn Smeds took first place, while Shirley Garrow captured second and Debbi Garrow placed third. The Par Pot draws were won by Wendy Foster and G. Corno. W. Foster, P. Wilkinson and J. Morete scored birdies during the day.

THIS FRIDAYâ&#x20AC;Ś DAYâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;Ś

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastball action underway Ken Alexander Free Press

The 2012 Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastball League has been up-and-running since May 1, and has six teams squaring off against each other Monday through Thursday at Lumbermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park on Airport Road in 100 Mile House. The league has many returnee players from last year, with the addition of some new faces and a brand new squad affectionately called, The Kids. The Kids comprise of Bantam-aged players, some dads and a few friends, says coach Greg Edle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a little trouble getting started, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting enough to fill a team now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little tough for our boys to get used to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hanging in there.â&#x20AC;? The goal of the squad is to prepare area youth to play fastball, he adds, because they, literally, are the future of fastball in 100 Mile, as the veterans get a little longer in the tooth as the seasons pass by. By the numbers â&#x20AC;˘ Red Rock defeated Shuswap 11-3 on May 9 in cold, windy conditions at Lumbermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park. Pat Findlay was on the mound for Red Rock and he out-duelled Shuswap chucker Stumpy Boyce. Some of the highlights included solo home runs from Shuswap batters Mark Boyce and Cam Taylor, while Red Rock had a solid team effort both defensively and offensively. Findlay and Ryan Odette provided the offensive punch for Red Rock with four runs batted in (RBIs) each. â&#x20AC;˘ On May 8, Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrowly defeated the 100 Mile Bantams 5- 4.

Steve Almond, Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newcomer to the mound, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow any walks, as he pitched for the victory. â&#x20AC;˘ It was a great defensive battle between Sanford Bros. Smokers and The Red Rock Grill on May 3. The score remained 0-0 until Bob Collens of the Smokers laid down a sacrifice bunt to score the first and only run of the game. Collens then took over on the mound from starting pitcher Reg Hooper and shut the door for the Smokers first win of 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ On May 1, Exeter Sporting Goods defeated Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 - 4 in a damp game. Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on first? Tonight (May 16), Exeter takes on The Kids, and Shuswap goes up against the Old Buds on May 17. Both games start at 6:30 p.m. After the long weekend, games start at 7 p.m. On May 22, Exeter plays Red Rock, with Sanford Smokers going against the Old Buds on May 23, and Shuswap taking on The Kids on May 24. All games are at Lumbermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park next to the arena, and fans are encouraged to take in some excellent fastball action.

Seniors golf through chilly weather There was a good turnout for the 108 Seniors Golf Club on May 10, says club spokesperson Shirley Boyson. Although it was a cold, windy morning, 16 players managed

to get through nine holes and then went home, she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nine had cancelled; those were the smart ones.â&#x20AC;? Seniors golf day is every Thursday at the 108 Resort Golf

Course, starting at 10 a.m., and Boyson says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always open to new members. It is $5 to join the Seniors Club and each player pays $5, which goes to prizes and a luncheon at the

end of the year. Folks who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t members of the 108 Resort Golf Club will also have to pay green fees.

With the score knotted at one apiece, Quesnel had a penalty shot about halfway through the second and missed. However, they got winning goal with a little over five minutes on the clock. Taylor Blades was the goalie for both and did an excellent job, says Park. The 100 Mile U14 girls played against Prince George U14 and lost 3-0. However, manager Pam Easton says it was an evenly matched, defensive game, with few shots by either side. Their second game was against Quesnel U14, and they lost 2-0. The 100 Mile squad had good energy in the first half of the game, Easton says, adding the girls stepped up their team play with some really good passing in this game. The 100 Mile U12 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first game was a 3-0 loss against Williams Lake U12 girls. It was a hard, physical game, coach Lianne Heales says,

but the local girls kept their composure and played a good team game. Allison Carr and Rachel Cross shared the goal-tending duties, and both were outstanding, Heales adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick thinking and big goal kicks started a number of rushes out of our end. Rachel made a diving save at the start of the second half, stripping the opposition of the ball and shutting down Williams Lake for the remainder of the game.â&#x20AC;? In the second game, they played Quesnel U12 girls and lost 2-0. Heather Heales and Courtney Cave were aggressive and dramatic in goal, the coach says, keeping the game tight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was back-andforth with a few missed chances by 100 Mile, but it was a great effort. Emma Lee Feistmantl and Grace Rayfield were outstanding, as they used their speed and

strength to create some great chances.â&#x20AC;? Heales notes Nishelle Parkins showed a lot of heart, as she played the whole game with a sprained ankle without her coach knowing about it. The U12 boys won 5-3 against Quesnel in their first game, and Ryan Wallace collected the victory in goal. Coach Ian Collinson says they were well positioned and played a disciplined game. They won 2-1 against Prince George in their second game which saw Cameron Ardiel and Dillon Carr sharing goalie duties. Collinson says his players were much more confident, but it was a hard-fought game. Both teams struggled to keep possession and neither team dominated, he adds. 100 Mile goals were scored by Caleb Patterson and Reid Collinson.

BUY A GARAGE SALE PACKAGE AT THE 100 MILE FREE PRESS AND WE’LL HELP YOU HAVE A GREAT SALE! 10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classiﬁed section. 2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have. 3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized. 4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases. 5. Set your dates and times. The ﬁrst and middle of the month are paydays for many people. 6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.” 7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage. 8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself. 9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding. 10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

These members of the South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club recently completed their PRISM testing and advanced to the red (second) level of the seven-level program. It emphasizes participation, fun, basic skills, body techniques and apparatus (ball, rope, ribbon, scarves and hoop) manoeuvres.

Gymnasts prepare for performance By Lynn McArthur In March, 10 South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club (SCRGC) members and their coach Sang-Hee Robinson travelled to Maple Ridge to train with Evelyn Koop, a founding member of the Canadian Rhythmic Federation of Gymnastics. The seminar was focused on aesthetic group gymnastics (AGG), which is similar to rhythmic gymnastics minus the use of apparatus. The gymnasts and coaches learned a group routine focusing on synchronized movements that flowed naturally from one to the next. The gymnasts were also taught the importance of expression, since every routine in AGG builds on a pantomime and tells a story. The experience was overwhelmingly positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This seminar was invaluable to both gymnasts and coaches,â&#x20AC;? says coachin-training Nathania Hindmarsh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be able to take what was learned and apply the basic AGG principals to their own future group performances with confidence.â&#x20AC;?

Says Robinson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The routine the girls pulled together that day really emphasized their full potential for the sport and increased their commitment to work hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They worked so hard as a team and co-operated incred-

ibly well. They received amazing comments from other coaches regarding their behaviour and work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of our gymnasts and coaches-in-training. It will be an experience they will never forget.â&#x20AC;?

The SCRGC is putting on it first year-end performance at the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School gymnasium June 8 at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please come, encourage and cheer for all the gymnasts who have

Anton â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonyâ&#x20AC;? Bayer, age 83 of Lone Butte, passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 100 Mile District Hospital; with his loving wife of 54 years, Ellen, at his side. Tony was born on June 16, 1928 in Neutitschein, Czechoslovakia and moved to Canada in 1956. He worked in Vancouver for Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Display Advertising Dept. for 22 years. After having spent their summers in the Cariboo for seven years, in 1985 Tony and his wife Ellen moved here permanently. Tony enjoyed his home, his friends and ďŹ shing; this was his paradise. He is survived by his devoted wife Ellen, son Michael (Lina), daughter Monica and three grandchildren: Michelle, Anthony, and Courtney. Tony will be missed and forever remembered by his family, many friends, and neighbours. The Bayers would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Klopper and the emergency room nurses for their great compassion and care of Tony. A Celebration of Life in honour of Tony will be announced at a later date. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, memorial donations can be made to the South Cariboo Health Foundation, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, BC, V0K 2E0. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243

Charles Patrick 1931-2012 Charles was a long-time resident of the 100 Mile House community, and passed away on the 8th of May 2012. Charles was raised in the post WWII era in Victoria, B.C. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy and served his country in the UN Korean operation. On his return, he married the love of his life, Irma, and proceeded to NATO Europe with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Charles was an entrepreneur at heart and on his return to Canada and release from the service, he had many successful enterprises. He came to the 100 Mile area in 1974 and was noted for his gardening and landscaping business supporting the community and at the 108 Mile Resort. He was a member of the Rotary Club and the earned the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow award for his work in the community. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Irma; two sisters: Linda and Lorna, brother Terence and many relatives and friends. He will be interred in the family plot in Metchosen (Victoria) and a burial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers the family requests donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. He will wait for Irma at the Pearly Gates. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family at www.100milefuneralservice.com

CHANGING GOVERNANCE

Question 4 - Is there a ďŹ nancial beneďŹ t to amalgamating?

Question 5 - Is there a ďŹ nancial downside to amalgamating?

Question 6 - Why hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this been done before if it is so good?

ANSWER: Currently the District collects taxes. CRD taxes are paid to the Province and then distributed to the CRD. The Province does charge a fee for that. How much is that fee? Well it is believed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5.3% of the revenue. While we did ask for the CRD budgets for areas G, H and L 10 days prior to publication, we still do not have that answer at time of publishing. What we are led to believe, and this is to put things in relative terms, if we became a Regional Municipality we would keep that 5.3% collection fee. Dollars generated for the Regional Municipality from that alone would give us the ďŹ nancial capacity to build a new aquatic facility every FIVE years.

ANSWER: Ah! The million dollar question. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it all. As a Regional Municipality we will be responsible for policing costs, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to maintain our own roads and so on. In simple terms, a consultant works with the Province and Regional Municipality to lay out ground work for the transfer of responsibility over a ďŹ ve year term. This is what is referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;letters patentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In one form or another, we pay for policing, roads and infrastructure now. A Regional Municipality will have greater control over these budgets.

ANSWER: Well, it has come up in the past and there are a handful of reasons why it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pursued. Mostly because of time constraints - the idea coming about too late in the elected time frame as well as fear of the unknown. With Ft. Nelson fresh off the process and the consultant available, the roadmap is brand new so the timing could not be better. Perhaps next week, we can get a comment or two from past mayors on this subject.

Honey Bee Week recognizes valuable workers By Denese Meeks On May 29, communities across Canada will be celebrating some of their most productive residents because it’s National Honey Bee Day. A concerned Saskatchewan beekeeper organized the first proclamation in Saskatoon in 2010 to raise awareness about the worldwide decline in honey bee numbers and its effect on our food supply and the environment. It is now celebrated worldwide. There have been huge losses of honey bees globally due to disease and increased pesticide use. In 2010, Vancouver Island beekeepers lost 90 per cent of their hives. A phenomenon, called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), is happening in certain parts of the world where the queen, food, and capped brood are still present in the hives, but the adult worker bees have disappeared. With one-third of our diet and 70 per cent of our crops requiring pollination, bees are working overtime to meet our demand

for fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs. Rural and urban beekeeping is increasing in many areas and the Cariboo is no exception. The recently established beekeeping support group in 100 Mile House has noticed an increase in people at its monthly meetings. Club members Kate Adams and Jane Peters are mentoring the new beekeepers to ensure good management practices. Dan and Rhonda Dobson have provided handson experience by inviting one new beekeeper to help work their hives at Horse Lake. It builds confidence for when your first nucs (queen and workers) arrive in late May. Jenn Frizzi has encouraged her four-year old son, Preston, to help with the family bees at Forest Grove. Beekeeping does not come cheap. An initial cost for equipment and two starter hives is about $500, including suits, tools, smokers, supers, frames, foundation, and honey bees. The bees must be overwintered by insulating around the hives. They need to be

fed sugar water and pollen patties during the cooler months. Even with these precautions, there is no guarantee the hive will survive. Beekeepers must register with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Lands so the bee

inspector can check for varroa mites and other diseases that can wipe out a hive. In addition to local clubs, many beekeepers join the B.C. Honey Bee Producers’ Association, which holds annual meetings with education sessions. Beekeeping

for Dummies and Beekeeping in Western Canada are good reference books for beginner beekeepers. Courses and workshops are often available throughout the province. On May 26, the local gardening club, which

meets at the hospital multipurpose room, is having a speaker address beekeeping and its benefits. Fears and misconceptions about honey bees often give them a bad name. They aren’t aggressive. They don’t intend to harm people. You don’t see them buzzing around your food. This type of behaviour is usually from wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets, which can sting multiple times. Honey bees frequent flowers and plants and are only capable of stinging a single time (they die after) and usually only if they think their hive is threatened. The residents of the Cariboo and the Communities in Bloom Committee are doing a great job putting out the “bee welcome” mat. Large groups of non-hybrid flowers and native plants are blooming in the area throughout spring and summer. Blue, white, purple, orange and yellow flowers with strong fragrances make up “bee-friendly” gardens. Local greenhouses are supplying hollyhocks, sunflowers,

herbs, raspberries and other bee-attracting plants and flowers. Mother Nature is providing no-cost fields of appetizing dandelions. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has zoning bylaws, which allow people to keep honey bees on only specific properties. There are no bylaws in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake that either allow or disallow honey bees within municipal boundaries. With an increased interest in food sustainability and security, there is a request for the CRD to join other communities in becoming “bee friendly” by revising the existing bylaws. Many local organizations and individuals are contacting their area directors in support of this initiative. So no matter what you can do — start a bee hive, plant a “bee-friendly” garden, attract native bees, provide a home for mason bees, lobby the CRD and the municipality for bylaw changes — the rewards are amazing and the bees will thank you. Denese Meeks is a honey bee enthusiast.

Donck enjoyed first photography in Vancouver Ken Alexander Free Press

100 Mile House area resident Teresa Donck left home recently to broaden her photography boundaries and experiences, and within a few months, she had her first show of her work in Vancouver. Donck’s work was featured on April 12 during the Spring Series at Slickity Jim’s Chat ‘n’ Chew, which saw photographers paired with local DJs in a style called Synesthesia, which means a person will hear something that can cause someone to see a colour, etc. The Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School graduate has been involved in photography since she was seven years old and “helped” her renowned landscape photographer and step-father Chris Harris edit slides on his light table. She started photographing when she was 15 and Harris gave her a hand-me-down

nation for inspiration. “I’ve also done several types of dance and music, such as tap and flamenco, clarinet, vocal, and guitar. Photography is just the latest.” The 19-year-old says she has been lucky to begin photographing the “endless diversity and beauty in the natural world” and to get a job at a Sear’s portrait studio. She adds this background gave her the tools to go out on her own to take experimental photos and portrait commissions from her friends and family. “At the moment my style tends to go with the flow, improvise with what’s around me whether it is limiting or not, and is focused on really seeing.” She adds her first show fit where she is right now because it’s small, collaborative and it came about through her everyday contacts. “It represents my adventure being out on my own in the

city, which has always been a major dream of mine even though it may seem mundane and simple to others.” Donck notes the pieces she chose to display, which were a series of abstracts of flower and plant themes, show her roots in Central British Columbia, including some that her urban audience would probably not have seen before. “Living in the landscape of the city influences my photography because the landscape is such that now when I take a photo of something occurring in nature, there is often infrastructure to incorporate as well. I try to see everything as one, see everything as just shapes, colours, contrast, of a composition. Urban or not, it’s all just beautiful subject matter.” Meanwhile, this confident young woman is doing a bit of freelance photography, has a day job while she stretches her creativity and dreams of a career as a photographer.

On a beautiful spring day, what could be better than an old Radio Flyer wagon and someone to pull you around the Grove? Adyn Nelson did the riding. His sister Ronnie Hicks was happy to do the pulling, showing off her girl power. The wagon is a super share shed find, built of heavy metal and in great shape for its age. Farmer’s Market A weekly farmers’ market is scheduled to begin the season on May 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the community hall parking lot. Bedding plants, young trees, some produce and crafts will be available. Vendors with gardens large and small and other market-type items are invited to participate. Organizers are looking for someone who would be interested in operating a concession trailer. The contact person is Steve Roy and can be reached at 250-3974103. Speech Arts For many years, Hisako Arai has worked with students from the Forest Grove Elementary School in a speech

arts program that has achieved much success for the students in both their cultural and social development. Hisako has been an outstanding example for the students, as she participates in the Festival of the Arts each year in various categories. Every year at the completion of the speech arts program, Hisako organizes a recital that includes festival participants and other performers.

National Police Week - May 13-19 Paying tribute to the work of police officers across Canada

Criminal crash causes targeted by RCMP Traffic officers join forces with regional RCMP members in MVI investigations

Carole Rooney Free Press

The days of RCMP traffic officers spending their days writing tickets and patrolling roads have evolved during the past two decades into a muchexpanded role of crash investigations. That’s the word, according to Cpl. Tim Lyons, who heads up the 100 Mile House RCMP Traffic Services unit. “The new traffic unit of today is so different than 10-20 years ago ... [when] it wasn’t seen as an essential unit. We went out and wrote tickets.” Now, RCMP traffic units are specialized, like homicide units or drug squads, he explains. Enforcement on the highway is the traffic officer’s primary goal. So, Lyons says these officers need to be out in the high-crash and highincident zones every day. “Our high-crash zone for 100 Mile House is basically from about 105 Mile to 132 Mile. That’s where we’ve had the

Tim Lyons

majority of our fatal and serious crashes.” Members in these zones are assigned to try to keep roadways safe, he adds, by slowing the motorists down, ensuring seatbelts are being used, and their number 1 priority is getting impaired drivers off the road. “That being said, our number 2 goal is criminal crash investigations.” It used be people would say even a crash causing injury or death was a vehicle “accident”, he says, but today’s concept involves three aspects to crash causes. These are the human factor, the environmental factor and the mechanical factor, Lyons vourite RV De aler da’s Fa explains. a n Ca The human Canadian BC RV RV Dealer Dealer Sales & Service Centres factor causes of the Year of the Year D# 30767

~ Proudly Serving You Since 1967 ~

99.9 per cent of crashes, he says, with the environmental and mechanical factors together accounting for the other 0.1 per cent. These frequently involve impaired, speeding or distracted drivers and driving too fast for conditions. “Just because the limit is 100 kilometres per hour (km/h), doesn’t mean you can do 100 km/h [due to road conditions].” There are also survivable crash situations where people are killed by not wearing their seatbelt, he notes. A new regional approach has traffic units in Cariboo communities joining forces to determine collision causes, he adds. These are also supported by an expert Criminal Crash Investigations team in Prince George, which Lyons says is “a great resource to call.” The first few moments a traffic unit member is on site is when the key determinations on criminal crashes are typically made, he explains. “[Fatal] crashes are investigated as ‘homicides on wheels’

nowadays. We don’t just say ‘oops, the guy was sleepy’ or ‘the guy was on his medication’.” If alcohol or drugs are involved, for instance, Lyons says it automatically becomes a criminal crash. Confirming who was actually driving may require statements from

witnesses, forensic examinations, air bag DNA, seat positions and other evidence. “We are expected to step up to the plate and conduct a full and thorough investigation.” Preparing cases for the Crown counsel uses Major Case Management, Lyons explains, and involves “intelligence-led

enforcement” in an organized, digital report. The RCMP federal strategy is all about keeping Canada’s roads safe, he says, adding Canada is one of the top 10 safest countries in the world. Last year, 100 Mile House RCMP unit members issued 120 excessive speeding

Officer recognized for diligence Carole Rooney Free Press

100 Mile RCMP Traffic Services Const. Lee Simpkins has been awarded the Alexa’s Team certificate in recognition of his diligence in removing impaired drivers from the roads. The certificate is awarded to police officers to honour the memory of Alexa Middelaer, a fouryear-old girl who was killed by a drunk driver in Ladner. To be nominated for Alexa’s Team, police officers must have removed at least 12 criminally impaired drivers from the roads during the previous year through a Criminal Charge investigation or Immediate

GROVE… from page B4 This year’s feature performer will be writer Cindy Whitehead. Charles Jones will film the event. The recital will be held at the community hall on June 8 at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will follow. At the fire hall Wendy Clarke says the training of new firefighters has been going great. “Some of them attended their first call at the fire on Canim Lake and again on Saturday with the fire on Cheetah Road.” With tonguein-cheek she adds, “They have also had lots of practice washing hoses.” The fire department is planning a fall fundraiser that will include a silent auction and a garage sale. Organizers will be looking for donations for both, so save those spring cleaning cast offs and other bargains. Donations

of pennies are also welcome. Funds are used for Halloween fireworks and for the children’s Christmas party. Kindergarten tour Kindergarten students for September 2012 are invited to attend a Ready, Set, Learn experience at the school on May 22, 10:30-11:30 a.m. Principal Shawn Nelson and primary teacher Shannon Clarke will take the students on a tour of the school followed by a story and a snack. The purpose of the tour is to help the children prepare for school. Spring song Sandhill cranes have returned to the fields around the Grove, announcing their arrival with loud clacking calls, like New Year’s Eve noisemakers. Up the road in the bush, a grouse has been drumming for days on his hollow log, trying to entice a grouse groupie to

come to his concert. The feeders, yard and suet holders are decorated with goldfinches, yellowrumped warblers, evening grosbeaks, purple finches, nuthatches, juncoes, woodpeckers and chickadees. Tiny hummingbirds are back, right on schedule, dive-bombing for

sugar water. The pushiest of all the visitors are the white-capped sparrows. The loudest chirpers are the grosbeaks. Squirrels complain about the traffic around their trees, and in the evening, a doe and her youngster swipe sunflower seeds. Ah, the Cariboo.

Spring brings waves of green and rushing water structure fires within the past week. These, and a rapidfire series of medical calls, have kept members busy. The number of hours these volunteers contribute to the community is truly commendable. They deserve a great deal of thanks for taking on this very essential service.

Dear Canimites: Spring has rushed in with waves of green, and local creeks have spilled their banks in places, as is their wont, and the lake level has climbed so high so early as to raise some old-timers’ eyebrows. Undaunted, kayakers venture onto the water, testing muscles and balance rusty from a winter’s rest. Fishers try the small lakes and come away smiling. On the Shirran farm, beaver scout the ponds for possibilities, and gangs of ravens harass the chickens. A new batch of flycatchers has arrived just in time for the first mosquito hatch. How do they

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.

CANIM… from page B8 residents to improve community safety. The group conducts random patrols of the area to help keep the community safe. It has received generous support from other residents. Last spring’s letter, which informed people of the patrols and requested financial assistance, brought in $1,175. These funds are managed by the South Cariboo Citizens on Patrol Society, and are used by the Canim Lake group to defray expenses. For more information, contact Canim captain Margo Wagner at 250-3970016.

The top choice, scheduled for the gathering on Oct. 16, is The Civil War of 1812. The book “moves beyond national histories to examine the lives of common men and women, revealing the often brutal (sometimes comic) war and illuminates the tangled origins of the United States and Canada.” Other top picks are the fictional works, The Help and Water for Elephants.

Ask an Expert: Should I use sanded or unsanded grout? Unsanded grout is made specifically for grout lines smaller than 1/8” wide. This is a general rule. Unsanded grout (all grout to different degrees) will shrink as it cures. The wider the grout lines, the more grout must be used to fill them. The more grout you have, the more it will shrink. If you try to fill grout lines that are too large the grout will shrink enough to pull away from the sides of the tile. Unsanded grout is easier to work with, especially on vertical surfaces such as a shower wall, because it is “stickier” than the sanded variety. You can spread it onto the wall and it will stick there while you force it into the grout lines. It is also much easier on the hands than sanded. Sanded Grout is used for any size grout lines 1/8” and wider. Although the specifications state unsanded grout be used in grout lines that are exactly 1/8”, you really should use sanded for them. It will ensure proper adhesion to your tile and guard against too much shrinkage. Sanded grout has fine sand added to it. This prevents the grout from shrinking too much as it cures. That’s why it is used for larger grout lines and should be used for the majority of tile installations. If you have a polished stone such as granite, marble, limestone, and some polished travertine, you should be careful about using sanded grout. While sanded may be the correct choice for the size of grout lines, depending upon the polish of the stone the sand in the grout may actually scratch it. If you decide to use sanded make sure you test it in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it will not scratch your finish.
