Premier introduces antibullying actions Carole Rooney Free Press

Premier Christy Clark has announced a new province-wide, 10-point anti-bullying strategy in an effort to ensure every child feels safe, accepted and respected, regardless of his or her gender, race, culture, religion, or sexual orientation. The ERASE Bullying (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) plan includes 10 elements to begin in the 2012/13 school year. Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers` Association president Joan Erb says it is welcome news. “The CCTA is very pleased to learn the government has upped the anti on bullying. As educators we see daily the deplorable impact bullying has on our most vulnerable students.” Bullying destroys selfconfidence and too often results some form of violence or self-destruction, she explains.

Around 2:30 on June 23, a bolt of lightning hit the 120-foot fir tree in Bill and Nora Friesen’s front yard in the 108 Mile Ranch and blew it apart. Pieces of the once majestic tree were strewn throughout Friesen’s and his neighbours’ yards.

Lightning bolt turns tree into kindling Ken Alexander Free Press

Bill Friesen was having an nap when he was jerked awake by a deafening boom, followed immediately by a loud crack and a bang that shook his Smith Road home at 108 Mile Ranch around 2:30 p.m. on June 23. “My first guess was it was a gas explosion. We [Bill and his wife, Nora,] had experienced a huge propane gas explosion in 1966 in Mackenzie that blew the roof off of the trailer and the six kids inside with it.

his neighbours’ yards. Noting nobody was hurt, Bill agrees there were pieces of tree everywhere and all that was left standing was around a 10-foot splintered trunk. He notes the top 20-25 feet of the tree came off in one piece, and then there was a three-inch gash along on the trunk for about 30 feet and “then it exploded after that.” His home sustained “quite a bit of damage,” as a half a dozen pieces of wood smashed into the front siding and a twofoot long, 10-pound chunk of wood went through his front window, which is

now boarded up. “There were pieces of wood thrown everywhere, including the neighbours on both sides. My grandson picked up a piece, which weighed 50 pounds, in the back yard and was about 200 feet from the tree.” Only small pieces landed in the neighbours’ yards, he explains. Bill says he didn’t lose power and only his TV was not working. “I did get heck from one of the firefighters for not calling 9-1-1, but I didn’t think about doing that.” See LIGHTNING… page A6

SHORT TA K E S OCP hearing held About a dozen residents attended the June 9 public hearing for the Green Lake and Area Official Community Plan (OCP). Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Bruce Rattray says no new issues were raised for what he hopes is now the final draft after about three years of revisions. An earlier version was sent to Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong for approval about 18 months ago. Chong rejected it because the OCP did not refer to the province’s Guide to First Nations Engagement on Government Statutory Approvals (Interim), leading to these latest amendments. Both the CRD and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District share common boundaries within the OCP area. It will now return for final readings by both boards before going back for ministry approval.

School bids farewell to three educators Carole Rooney Free Press

100 Mile Elementary School held a retirement party June 15 to recognize the longtime service of its principal and two of its teachers. Keen principal Retiring principal Marjatta Chapman says she will always remember her time working in the local school district. “I’ve really enjoyed my more than 30 years of experience in education, and particularly the 17 years I’ve spent in School District #27.” After working in school district staff in the Lower Mainland for 17 years, Chapman came to the CaribooChilcotin to become principal of Likely Elementary Junior Secondary School. After four years there, she moved on to Lac la Hache Elementary School as principal for another eight years. Chapman then joined 100 Mile House Elementary and spent four years there, from where she is now retiring. “I’m off on new

For many years, her classroom’s motto has been “do your best,” which she also applies to herself, especially when she shared her classroom in half-day shifts with a Horse Lake Elementary class. She took a decade off full-time work to raise her own children, but also taught as a substitute. “When I came back, computers had been in the schools [for years] and that was a really big learning curve for me.” Adjusting to conditions wasn’t new, however, as back in the days of her practicum, she taught on the third floor of the Stan Halcro Arena and in classrooms set up in the school gym. “I am looking forward to doing my best in retirement. For me, that will be reinventing myself, perhaps in the area of tutoring. “I know I sure won’t have lots of time to sit around ‘watching the grass grow’.”

CiB Committee looking for public participation Area residents and businesses will see Communities in Bloom Committee members driving the Community Cruiser around town, as they will be on the lookout for folks who are sprucing their surroundings.

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The second annual Communities in Bloom (CiB) event in 100 Mile House has taken root and appears to be thriving. A week-long community cleanup, Clean is Green, held in April, and a huge plant sale held at the Stan Halcro Arena (Agriplex) in early June saw good participation and laid the groundwork for the remaining phases of this year’s effort. Last year, 100 Mile House scored three out five blooms in the British Columbia Communities in Bloom program, and Angela Cole, a key co-ordinator for the local CiB project, says this year’s goal is to improve on that when judges swing through the community on July 16-17 for evaluation.

Their e v a l u a tions will be made on the criteria of community involvement; tidiness effort; environmental action; heritage conservation; urban forestry; landscaped areas, including turf and groundcovers; and

floral displays. Until that time, the local 100 Mile CiB Committee will be driving around town in the Community Cruiser, keeping a

lookout for businesses and private individuals who make an effort to spruce up their surroundings. Improvements made will be evaluated, documented and then acknowledged at the CiB community barbecue on July 17. Cole says people can ensure they will be included in the friendly competition by filling out an entry form that can be picked up at either the District of 100 Mile House office or the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, in the advertisement See CiB… page A4

Penny drive culminates Canada Day A charity penny drive organized by Jamie Hughes of 108 Mile Ranch earlier this year will wind up at the annual Canada Day celebration at the 108 Heritage Site. Folks can still donate their pennies on July 1 and she encourages everyone to dig out their onecent coins and bring them along for a

good cause. Rolling the pennies ahead of time isn’t necessary, as Hughes says this activity will take place by volunteers that day. The votes are being tallied for the winning charity to benefit, which will be announced at the event. The five charity choices are the SPCA/ Mixed Up Mutts

Cole notes 100 Mile House Elementary School has formed a weed-pulling group that will be cleaning up near its school.

BULLY… from page A1 Clark says addressing bullying in the province’s school system follows through on her post-election promise to make this a high priority of government. “We all want our kids to be safe, especially at school.” School District superintendent Diane Wright says Clark’s philosophy has already been applied in local schools. “The district and all our schools work to ensure every student is safe and has a sense of belonging. The ministry strategy formalizes the work already being done in the district. “The announcement to provide training and online resources for staff is positive and we will work with the ministry, schools and community partners to implement the 10-oint strategy.” Clark’s new strategy includes a five-year training program to

help educators and others identify and address threats; online tools and resources; safe school co-ordinators; stronger codes of conduct for schools; guidelines and pro-

tocols; a provincial advisory committee; and other related tools and training. Erb says she wants the provincial government to apply its own advice to deal-

ing with teachers. “Given the government’s strategy is resolving the teacher dispute, we can only hope that this 10-point anti-bullying would also apply to us.”

Input on advocate for elders sought Carole Rooney Free Press

The Ministry of Health is asking British Columbians to indicate how its planned new Seniors’ Advocate can best engage the province’s elder citizens to ensure that their voice is heard. The ministry is collecting input about the role and function of the Seniors’ Advocate office to help prepare recommendations for government this fall. Henry Hall, who just completed his four-year term as BC Old Age Pensioners Organization (O.A.P.O.) regional director, says seniors should make their voices heard. A public consultation session will be held in Prince George on June 25 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. For those who can’t make

Donna Barnett it, or would like to review information in advance, a discussion paper is also available. The ministry invites people to consider the questions in the discussion paper, as an individual, family, caregiver, organization or service provider, and send their ideas on shaping the future role of the seniors advocate. The paper presents background information about advocacy and describes the poten-

tial principles, purpose and key functions for the Seniors’ Advocate. A related summary presents the primary information in two pages, for those that may not have time to review the entire paper. To avoid more bureaucracy, Hall says the new advocate should share resources with the Office of the Ombudsperson. “If they do put an advocate in, he or she should be able to make public statements without being censored one way or the other.” He adds it might be “disheartening” for the advocate if the province doesn’t earmark dollars to implement many suggestions. “I’m sure [government] knows what the problems are right now, but they’re all

claiming they haven’t got the money to do it.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says an advocate could offer services to help deal with important issues, such as elder abuse and neglect. She adds there are many seniors in her constituency who want to remain independent, and decline help when they really do need it. “There are times when there are issues of abuse, and sometimes it’s just, ‘Where do I go, who do I phone?’ We get that question all the time.” Barnett suggests phone lines for reporting abuse or neglect could be included as part of the Seniors’

Advocate office. She adds anyone who can’t find the help they need through the contacts they have available can call her 100 Mile House office for assistance at 250-395-3916. Comments on the potential role of the new advocate can be e-mailed to SeniorsAdvocate@ gov.bc.ca; mailed to Seniors Action Plan, Ministry of Health, PO Box 9825, STN PROV GOV, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9W4; or letters can be dropped off at Barnett’s 100 Mile House office at 7-530 Horse Lake Rd. The deadline for submissions is July 31. Recommendations will be released this fall.

Red Bull, pillows and snacks were scattered throughout the House of Commons during the recent marathon debate on the federal budget bill. Senate’s approval on the omnibus Bill C-38 is expected soon, after MPs sat in the House around the clock June 14-15, debating the bill that eventually passed as expected. K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod was on house duty that day, so her time in the chamber was several hours longer than the 22-24 hours for most members, but she says they all were doing what they could to cope. “I tried the Red Bull drink....

The restoration company was over on June 26, and he expected repair work to begin on the eaves, down pipes, siding and skirting today (June 27).

bill was moved forward to the Senate. Jordaan says Bill C-38 is “huge” in terms of the sweeping changes it implements. “The [Stephen] Harper government is charting a course of economic development at all costs, without listening to Canadians, without consideration for the long-term health of our country, and in so doing is losing respect internationally.”

The Board of Directors of the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) are proposing to amend South Cariboo Area Zoning Bylaw No. 3501, 1999 by adopƟng amending Bylaw No. 4729, being a text amendment to Bylaw No. 3501, for the purposes of adding the deĮniƟon of “Horse Clinics”. Further, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has received an applicaƟon to amend South Cariboo Area Zoning Bylaw No. 3501, 1999 by rezoning the property described below: Bylaw No. 4729 Part of the North East 1/4 of District Lot 3391, Lillooet District, from Resource/Agricultural (RA 1) zone to Rural 2 (RR 2) and Special ExcepƟon C 2-23 zones (minimum lot size – 2 ha (RR 2); 1.5 ha (C 2-23))(maximum density – 3 lots) Purpose for Rezoning: To rezone part of the property for the purpose of legalizing an exisƟng guest ranch and creaƟng a rural parcel. The subject property is located at 8485 Graham-Dunden Road, as shown on the sketch plan below, and is owned by Wolfgang and Barbara Pessler.

Public hearings are for all persons who believe their interest in property is aīected by the proposed bylaws. The public hearings are to be held by a delegate of the Cariboo Regional District Board. A copy of the CRD resoluƟon is available for public inspecƟon. WriƩen submissions regarding the proposed bylaw will also be received. These submissions may be submiƩed at the public hearing or should be received in the Cariboo Regional District oĸce at 180 D North 3rd Avenue, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 2A4, (fax number 392-2812) fortyeight hours prior to the hearing. No further informaƟon or representaƟons can be considered by the CRD Board aŌer the public hearing. The bylaw and an informaƟon package may be inspected at the Cariboo Regional District oĸce, 175 Airport Road, 100 Mile House, BC, V2J 2B8 between 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, from June 22, 2012 to July 5, 2012 inclusive (excepƟng public holidays).

This Week’s Special

Garden Flags & Picks

Timber supply meeting here July 5 The Special Committee on Timber Supply will be holding a public hearing in conference room 224 at the South Cariboo Business Centre, 100475 Birch Ave. in 100 Mile House on July 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The intent of the meeting is to seek public input on the future of forestry in British Columbia. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has outlined certain actions that might lessen the impacts of the mountain pine beetle on the timber supply; many of these could

require rebalancing important environmental, social and economic considerations. Potential actions include: • Harvesting some of the areas currently constrained from timber harvest in order to support other resource values. • Increasing the harvest of marginally economic timber. • Changing the flow of timber by adjusting administrative boundaries or accelerating timber availability. • Shifting to more area-based tenures and associated more intensive forest

management. • Increasing the level of intensive forest management through fertilization and other advanced silviculture activities. The committee is seeking public input on the following questions: • What values and principles should guide the evaluation and decision-making regarding potential actions to mitigate the timber supply impacts? • How should decisions regarding potential actions to mitigate the timber supply impacts be made and, by whom?

• What specific information about your local area would you like the Committee to know and consider? • What cautions and advice do you have for this committee in considering whether and how to mitigate mid-term timber supply? • How would you, as an individual or a community, want to be engaged in these considerations going forward? Additional information and how to make submissions can be obtained from the Committee’s website www.leg.bc.ca/ timbercommittee/

Ann Swann Parliament is “even worse.” She adds the bill will benefit corporations, not Canadians. Meanwhile, McLeod says she encourages constituents to express their opinions, but notes she has heard the Opposition cry for environmental policy

She adds the provincial governments also see the “unnecessary duplication and the onerous timelines” and have expressed “very significant support” of the changes effected by the Tory’s.

Box 459, 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0

here is an extremely important meeting in 100 Mile House on July 5. People who think they might be affected by the future of the forestry industry in the Interior of British Columbia – all of us – should probably attend this meeting. If we cannot go to the meeting, we should try to give input to the Special Committee on Timber Supply, which will be here July 5, and will be collecting information and input up to and including July 20. We should read the story on page A7 of this edition and then take the time to hop on to the government website to learn what the B.C. Liberal government is dealing with and suggesting as possible solutions to the pine-beetle devastation. It would also be a good idea to Google midterm timber supply and see what other folks are saying about the timber-supply issue and consider the options they are suggesting. We definitely need to be informed about the issue, regardless of which side of the harvest-now or save-for-tomorrow equation we stand on. We have already seen the kind of damage the voracious pine beetle can do. Now, the government is considering whether it should throw the doors open the equally voracious harvesting/ milling companies. The mantra for both the government and the big industry is, “Jobs, jobs, jobs.” Please take a close look at the Page 7 story and look at the government’s wording carefully. Right off the get-go, it outlines actions that might lessen the impact of the pine beetle on the timber supply, but it would require “rebalancing” of current environmental, social and economic considerations. Translation: we need to keep the Big Business forestry going by opening up previously protected areas so we can keep the mills open and maintain the jobs. It’s obvious we have to keep the forest industry going so the mills will continue to operate, but we will have to change the way we harvest and mill the timber that is left if our Crown forests are going to survive. We have to be careful we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water for the sake of multinational forest companies. We have to become informed and we have to make our voices heard. We cannot allow ourselves to be steamrolled by the big boys on the cut block.

Another dystopic gusher in Alberta There’s been another pipeline leak in Alberta and some 230,000 litres of black gold has spilled all over farmland near Elk Point, northeast of Edmonton. It’s the third dystopic gusher in a month. Crews are still working to clean up an 800,000 litre spill from a well owned by Pace Oil & Gas Ltd close to the Northwest Territories border, and a spill into the Red River of up to 480,000 litres from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline. Enbridge owns the pipeline implicated in the most recent spill. That company is currently running community hearings in anticipation of building the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Bruderheim, Alta. to Kitimat, B.C. The new pipeline is set to traverse rugged mountains, pristine wilderness and areas of high geotechnical risk, including avalanches, slides and seismic activity. The bitumin will then be loaded onto supertankers bound for Asia that have no hope of safely navigating the notoriously treacherous waters of the Inside Passage. In April, BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix said: “Under the Enbridge proposal, British Columbia would assume almost all the project’s risk, yet would see only a fraction of the benefits. By any measure, such

DIANNE VARGA

GUEST SHOT a high-risk, low-return approach simply isn’t in B.C.’s interests.” In May, Premier Christy Clark described the Northern Gateway project as “a balance of risk and benefit.” As for benefits, she admitted the project would create almost no jobs in B.C. “It creates some jobs in the construction phase but there are very few long-term jobs that would be left in the province after that.” Like Dix, she concluded it’s a high-risk, low-return game. “B.C. is taking 100 per cent of the risk. But at the moment, B.C. gets about the same benefit as Nova Scotia.” Clark might foresee the risk-benefit ratio would improve if Alberta offers B.C. access fees or a share of royalties. But that would still be a no-win proposition when one calculates the profound costs of the inevitable spills and the loss of the coastline, the fisheries, and the ancestral grounds of First Nations livelihoods and cultures at any point along the pipeline’s path. Last week, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released

a report, A Green Industrial Revolution, showing carbonintensive industrial policies can be overcome and a transition made to a sustainable economy and a zero carbon Canada. It’s scarcely the first report of its kind. Worldwide, roadmaps for how to get from here to there are as plentiful as blackberries. There’s no reason for Canadians to be browbeaten into embracing fossil-fuel development as an economic imperative and oil spills as the status quo by politicians who are acting on behalf of their corporate sponsors, the oil and gas industry, rather than their constituents. Canadians should instead demand a moratorium on new fossil-fuel developments and expansion of the tar sands, and force the federal and provincial governments to finally engage with the coming revolution. “The good news,” says report author Marc Lee, “is that Canada can derive substantial economic advantages … by embracing climate action.” Dianne Varga has founded advocacy organizations Canadians for Cooperation and the Commotion Collective, and helps organize for others, including the Kelowna Peace Group, LeadNow, 350.org and Casseroles Night in Canada.

Letters to the editor

OPINION

…A9

Poverty declines, nobody notices

NTERTAINMENT Gifts well meant but destroyed To the editor: I am an employee at Cedar Crest Society and this letter is for all the generous people who leave their donations at the Cedar Crest Thrift Store when we are not open. Please use your “wildest” grotesque imagination and that is what we all face some mornings. In my heart, I realize some of the things people do is because they are not well. With that said, on one of my most recent shifts, I had a greeting that brought me to tears. My fellow co-workers

equipped me with a mask, gloves, brushes, buckets of Mr. Clean and words of encouragement. I dove in. After it was all cleaned up, they gave me a cup of coffee and some time to myself. What wonderful people I am privileged to work with. Most of all though, we thank you for all your donations and support, but please keep your donations until we are open and I promise in return you will receive a smile and a thank-you. Jody Malm Sheridan Lake

Renewable energy development needed To the editor: Recent warnings of flood and high water levels in British Columbia are strong testimony to this year’s rainy spring and higher than normal B.C. snowpack. They also mean the province’s many hydroelectric dams will not be short of water this year like they have been for most of the past decade. As crazy as it sounds, for most of the past decade, B.C. has had to import power from outside the province to meet its energy needs. Much of that imported power has not been clean hydroelectric power, as it has been coal-fired.

We have an incredible amount of green, renewable energy in this province that we could be developing to meet our energy needs. We should not need to import power in B.C. even in a low-water year. Considering this year’s higher than normal water flow is clearly the exception rather than the rule, we should not allow it to lull us into complacency. We need to get on with developing our renewable energy resources and we need to do it aggressively, so we are ready for whatever the future holds for our province. Robert van Dyck Vancouver

Don’t cut funding To the editor: Canada has been a leading country over the years in the fight for global immunization by funding basic programs, such as the Canadian International Immunization Initiative (CIII). Not renewing this successful program in 2013 would represent a huge number of deaths among the poorest of the world. [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper’s Conservatives should stop cutting foreign aid to the poorest and must absolutely renew the CIII. They should start caring for the poorest, just like most Canadians do. Bruno Marquis Gatineau, Quebec

VICTORIA – You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.) This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in British Columbia. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report stated, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.” Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, such as B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. It did, in three increments, and on May 1, it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and

the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP government-inwaiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places, such as Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one. For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket, too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper, as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Wood duck saved by kindness To the editor: Peter Hart’s Canim Lake column contained a story about a wood duck being trapped in my chimney because it mistook the chimney for a nesting place. I could not get the duck out myself, so it spent at least 12 hours trapped before it was rescued. After making some calls, I hit on the idea that I could call the chimney sweep who cleans and inspects my flue each year - Brian Tennet (BJs Chimney Sweep and Brian’s House of Birds) for help. Brian told me what had to be done and added he would not be able to come out himself because he

was repairing his truck. I made a couple of calls and no one was home, so I was still in a quandary about how to rescue the duck. Then Brian called back to tell me a neighbour was going to drive him from Bridge Lake and he would be there in an hour. They arrived around 2 p.m. and within moments he had the insert out and released the duck, which promptly flew into the lake, had a bath and disappeared. Brian and his friend refused any payment for their time, so I paid them for the gas consumed and gave them my heartfelt thanks for their kindness. Through this letter, I hope

to be able to thank them again on behalf of the duck and myself. Apparently this happens frequently. The only way to prevent it

is to place a cap on the chimney, which I have arranged for. Gordon Kellett Canim Lake

Stupid is as stupid does To the editor: British Columbia Finance Minister Kevin Falcon may disdainfully dismiss his newly reintroduced Provincial Sales Tax (PST) as a “betterstupid” tax, but British Columbians haven’t forgotten who caused this long drawn-out shemozzle in the first place. Someone should remind Falcon and the rest of his arrogant B.C.

Liberals the function of government is to enact legislation the majority of the citizens willingly support. Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Maybe you should think about that Mr. Falcon before you put your “stupid” foot in your mouth again. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Newsbeat Around the province Three arrested after robbery PRINCE GEORGE - Three people are facing robbery charges after being arrested early Sunday (June 17) morning. Police responded to a call at about 3:30 a.m. of a robbery at a convenience in the 1500-block of 20th Avenue. When police arrived they were told that a woman, wearing dark clothing and with a bandana covering her face entered the store with a can of bear spray and an uncapped syringe. She demanded cartons of cigarettes and money. A detailed description of the suspect was obtained through the store’s video surveillance. The description of the woman and the vehicle she fled in, was passed on to all other police officers. Within minutes, the suspect vehicle was located near the intersection of 17th Avenue and Oak Street. Three occupants were in the vehicle, two men, aged 48 and 25, and a woman, aged 48. All three were arrested without incident.

Looking at most of the evidence, coffee is good for us. One study looked at 480,000 people in to determine if coffee had any effect on the risk of stroke. Compared to non-coffee drinkers there was an 8% reduction in stroke in those who drank one cup a day and a 13% reduction in those who drank 2-6 cups daily.

The research on coffee didn’t differentiate between caffeinecontaining coffee and the decaffeinated version. Decafcoffee used to get a bad reputation because of solvents used to extract the caffeine. Nowadays, the caffeine is removed using a Swiss water process or carbon dioxide extraction. These methods are harmless. People who are conﬁned to bed or wheelchairs can develop pressure sores than can be very dangerous and hard to treat. A Canadian university has developed an undergarment to help prevent these ulcers. The garment uses electrical stimulation to keep the blood ﬂowing in the ulcer-prone areas of the hips and rear end. It should become available to the public in the near future. Back in 400 B.C., Hippocrates was relieving labour pain by giving a tea steeped from willow leaves.

MERRITT - Two men have been charged with robbery after a Merritt woman was approached by a man with a gun while in her car outside the Royal Bank on June 13. The 35-year-old woman left the bank at around 9 p.m. last Wednesday and returned to her van where six children ranging in age from one to 13 were already seated. When she was ready to drive off, a young man approached the driver’s window, pulled out a gun and told her to give him all of her money. “The fast thinking female drove off fortunately without incident and [drove] to the police station to report the robbery,” says a Merritt RCMP press release. With the help of the victim, RCMP located the suspect — 23-year-old Kamloops resident Gary Deschamps —and arrested him without incident for robbery.

McLeod: EU trade agreement good for B.C.

$ $

K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says British Columbia would benefit from a potential trade agreement with the European Union (EU). An ambitious trade agreement with the EU would be of significant benefit to Canada, resulting in a 20 per cent boost in bilateral trade and a $12 billion increase in Canada’s annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP), McLeod claims. “That translates to an increase of $1,000 to the average Canadian family’s income, or 80,000 new Canadian jobs.” McLeod says she believes many of B.C.’s key sectors would benefit from this trade agreement.

$ $

Forestry sector • Between 2009 and 2011, B.C. exported an annual average of $326-million worth of wood and wood products to the EU. • B.C.’s wood exports faced average tariffs of 2.2 per cent, with peaks of 10 per cent. These tariff barriers would be eliminated under the Canada-EU trade agreement. • Eliminating tariff barriers would increase sales of B.C.’s world-class wood and wood products in the lucra-

tive EU market of 500 million consumers. Agriculture • Between 2009 and 2011, B.C. exported an annual average of $35-million worth of agricultural products to the EU. • Tariffs on key British Columbian exports to the EU, such as fruits, vegetables and horticultural products, would be eliminated under this trade agreement. Investment • Direct investment by Canadian companies in the EU totalled almost $173 billion in 2011, representing more than 25 per cent of Canadian direct investment abroad. The same year, direct investment by

European companies in Canada totalled almost $161 billion, representing over 26 per cent of total foreign investment in Canada. • B.C. businesses currently have significant investments in the EU in a wide variety of sectors, including mining, financial services, professional services, renewable energy, environmental technology, transportation, information and communication technology. • Putting predictable investment rules in place and guaranteeing access to EU markets will help to create a level playing field for B.C.’s investors and businesses and reduce the risks associated with investing abroad.

Golfers’ spirits shine on rainy day

Box 520, Clinton, B.C V0K 1K0

Despite zero support from Mother Nature for the Hit a Ball for Health! Fun Golf Tournament, people who participated and raised money for the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF), couldn’t be discouraged. Neither could the host 108 Resort Golf Club. The event was slated for midday June 16, but at the 2 p.m. tee-off time, weather conditions were anything but favourable, says M-J Cousins, SCHF of public relations and fundraising co-ordinator. “There was a deluge of rain with thunder and lightning and the conditions were such that we just could not golf.” The 51 registrants had paid $85 per couple or $55 per person

Psalm 23 Transition Society representatives Shelley Declare, left, Don Tessman, Josh Wardle and Marvin Declare posed with the barbecue they won in the raffle at the South Cariboo Health Foundation golf tournament. They promptly donated it back to the SCHF and Phil Roux purchased it for $500. People had come to golf in order to raise money for the SCHF, so at that point, he offered to give everyone a voucher for nine holes of golf, good until the end of the current season, and also gave a rain check for golf cart rentals that had been booked and paid for,

so the registration fees could go to the intended destination. People were happy with the alternate plan and they carried on indoors where charity and good will continued to be extended. Marvin Declare, Psalm 23 Transition Society

president/executive director, had his name drawn as winner of the grand-prize barbecue, valued at $500, but immediately donated it back and challenged anyone to buy it for $500 and have the money go to SCHF. Phil Roux came forward and it was a done deal. Declare says he understands what fundraising is all about because Psalm 23 is a charitable organization. “It was just a blessing for us to be a part of it. The true gift was the person who stepped up and bought it.” All of the other prizes were drawn for and given away as door prizes to the participants, Cousins says, adding it was a wonderful day. “I couldn’t believe

how supportive the resort was and how understanding the golfers were. The weather was unfortunate, but at the same

time, the spirit of the people of the area shone through.” The event raised slightly more than $2,000 for the SCHF.

Psalm 23 Transition Society, which runs the 59 Mile Training Centre, recently took over the bottlerecycling program from the Knights of Columbus. Psalm 23 president and executive director Marvin Declare says he was grateful to the Knights for acknowledging Psalm 23 was a viable organization. “We see this as a very important part of our community. When we heard about the opportunity to take on this project, it’s a fit with how we want to give back to the community. “There is quite a unique history to the program and we want to continue with the same honour and integrity the Knights did in the past.” Knight Omer Lapointe was a great help training and showing us the routines they have used, Declare notes. Psalm 23 will be giving 10 per cent of what it collects in the various communities back to assist their “average” students, who just need a little extra help in their future education. “We want to help people get a step up in life.

Plan for the Canada Day Picnic FOREST GROVE AREA Marianne Van Osch 250-397-2625

grover@bcinternet.net

Plan to be at the Fourth Annual Canada Day Picnic at Ruth Lake Park on July 1. Everyone from near and far is welcome to attend this most enjoyable afternoon of visiting, swimming, playing and, of course, eating. Potluck lunch is at 1 p.m. and barbecues will be available. A special guest will be Laura Kelsey, who will lead us in our traditional rendition of “O Canada,” sung out over the lake toward the hills beyond. Several versions of a tug of war will follow. Bring lawn chairs, beach toys, perhaps a blanket to snooze on. Art display Librarian Connie Flannery is inviting artists of all ages to bring a sample of their work to the library to be put on display though the summer months. If you have a drawing or painting you’ve

Connie reminds everyone that bestsellers are either in stock or can be ordered from the vast resources of the Cariboo Library Network.

There are two new computers at the library and highspeed wireless access for laptops. Excellent movies are also available. A special feature of the library is the large selection of children’s books and juvenile fiction. Rowing legacy Congratulations to Forest Grove rowers and sisters Jemma and Tyra Van Osch who are members of

the South Cariboo Rowing Club. In May, 300 high school rowers competed in the 2012 Scholastic Rowing Regatta in Delta. Jemma and partner Jill Matlock placed sixth in the junior doubles finals. Jemma and Tyra rowed in the women’s quad event, finishing in fifth place. The girls are carrying on a family tradition of rowing. Their father, Will Van Osch, and many of his cousins were competitive rowers, competing in major high school rowing events. The sisters are also

carrying on the legacy of a Forest Grove girl, Theresa Luke, who rowed to a silver medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics, gold at the Pan Am Games and gold and bronze at the World Championships. Theresa lived at Ruth Lake and attended the Forest Grove Elementary School. As a child, she loved water sports, encouraged by her parents who were avid swimmers. She did not become involved in rowing until she joined the rowing program at the University of Victoria and later at Simon Fraser University. A large sign at the Forest Grove Store celebrates her accomplishments. A graduation The Grade 7 students from our school will be moving on to 100 Mile House Junior Secondary in the fall and our best wishes for everything good go with them. Today (June 27), Maggie Cummings, Cassidy Donnelly, Davin Grouhel, Gwen Haretzmuller, Haylie Jones, Danny Loeffeler, Tasha McKay, Kira Saenger and Trinity Searle were presented with certificates of achievement.

100 Mile Men’s fastball playoffs underway Ken Alexander Free Press

The second season is underway for the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League. The playoffs started June 25 with the Sanford and Dillman Hornets knocking off Jake’s Pub Old Buds 4-2 in the first elimination game, and the Shuswap Defenders shutting out the Lac la Hache Food Mart 8-0 in the second loser-goeshome contest. Sanford and Shuswap will square off on June 27 to see who advances to take on the loser of the Red Rock Grill and Exeter Sporting Goods contest on June 26 (score unavailable). Sanford advances This first elimination games were tight with both teams playing some great ball and the chuckers dominating for the most part. Greg Parent was on the mound for Jake’s and he registered four strikeouts in the loss. Sanford pitcher Reg Hooper was in playoff form as he sent 11 Jake’s batters back to their dugout shaking their heads. Jake’s got a run in the first inning when Mark Dufour hit a single and scored on an RBI single by Jason Armeneau. Rick Dillman responded with a single in the bottom half of the inning and trotted home on a deep sacrifice fly by Bill Esterbrook. Sanford went up 2-1 when Dennis Gosselin’s triple pushed Bob Collens over the plate in the third. It stayed 2-1 until the top of the fifth when Parent hit a single to get on and then scored on a

fielder’s choice. That set up the sixth-inning heroics as Esterbrook who hit the eventual game-winning home run. Rob Sanford singled Brayden Sanford in for the insurance run. Jake’s failed to move any runners over the plate in the top of the seventh, and Sanford celebrated the victory. Shuswap moves on Shuswap was leading the Bantams 8-0 when the game was called due to inclement weather and lightning. Check out the game scores and highlights on our website at www. 100milefreepress.net.

Pitcher Paul Carey will lead Exeter Sporting Goods into the playoffs just as he has during the regular season. He will be throwing heat and picking corners.

Regular season Red Rock finished on top of the regular season standing with 18 points off of nine wins and one loss. Exeter was second with 15 points on six wins, a tie and three losses. The Hornets took third with 10 points

with a five and five win/loss record. Shuswap came on at the end of the season to take fourth place with four wins and six losses. The Bantams finished fifth out of six teams with a 2-1-7 record for five points. Jake’s ended up in sixth place with four points on two wins and eight losses.

Exeter doubles Jake’s Jake’s got on the sticks early in the first and chased Exeter chucker Craig Allison after six batters and he was replaced by Paul Carey in the June 18 matchup. Jake’s led 6-4 after the first, but trailed 13-6 until they scored five in the fourth to close the gap to 14-11. The fifth inning saw Exeter trot eight runners over the plate for a 22-11 victory. Red Rock stings Hornets The closest game of the week was a 3-2 Red Rock victory

over the Hornets on June 19. Tied at one apiece from the first through the fourth inning, the Hornets scored one in fifth and looked to be in control with big Reg Hooper registering 14 strikeouts in the game. However, Red Rock scored two in the top of the seventh and held on for the win. Grillers roll along Red Rock finished their regular season with an 8-2 win over the Bantams who got their runs in the seventh inning. Shuswap gearing for playoffs As they did last year, the Defenders are definitely gearing up for the playoffs. They got by Exeter 7-1 in a convincing victory over the league’s secondplace team. Robin Gilbert registered 10 strikeouts for the victory, while Carey whiffed three in the loss.

Local golfers tee off at zone qualifier Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Special Olympics Region 8 Golf Qualifier for the 2013 Special Olympic Summer Games were held at Marmot Ridge Golf Course on June 16, with athletes from 100 Mile House and Prince George participating. The 20 golfers, with 11 from 100 Mile and nine from Prince George, were vying for spots on the regional team that will compete next summer in Langley. Const. Jason Flett and Const. Matthew Ziemer of the 100 Mile House Detachment RCMP added excitement to the event by attending the first tee-off and Cariboo Regional Director Area L Bruce Rattray walked part of the course with participants. 100 Mile golfers had some

good results, with David Shacklock, Brett Tassell, Aaron Goodwill and Paul Jansen placing first in their divisions. Second-place winners were Krista Connell and Andy Bremner and placing third were Ryan Barker, Travis Phelps and Tricia Beauvais. Ben Johnson placed fourth in his division. Participants were grouped into five teams and played nine holes. Results for who will compete at Summer Games won’t be known for several months, says Denise Barker, 100 Mile Special Olympics chapter co-ordinator.

Horsing around at the June gymkhana Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Rain threatened to put a damper on a gymkhana hosted by the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club on June 17. While a 30-minute cloudburst sent the 25 riders running for cover, most of the day was business as usual. Jennifer Szigety, who co-ordinates the four-event series, says poor weather in the morning was probably the reason for the smaller than usual turnout, but besides the one

Winners were rewarded with ribbons and prize money and points were added up to determine overall day winners who received merchandise prizes. In the Peewee division, Kassidy Kolisnyk of 70 Mile House was the top rider after claiming firsts in pole bending,

stake race, keyhole and speed barrels. Avery McBride of 100 Mile House was second in the division. Amy Hume of Williams Lake won the Junior division with five first-place finishes and Brianna Billy of Williams Lake was second. Lone Butte competitor Raven Gentry was the winner of

the Intermediate category, with first place finishes in keyhole and speed barrels, seconds in poles and barrels and third in stake. Her baton relay team of Lorne Gentry and Karli-Rae Ross took third. Taylor Stewart of 100 Mile House was second overall in the See HORSE… page A28

Bridge Lake to host 63rd rodeo Rodeo history will continue to be made on the Canada Day long weekend when the Bridge Lake Community Club hosts its 63rd annual Bridge Lake Stampede. The down-home amateur rodeo takes place on June 30, with all of the thrilling events it has become known for, saddle bronc, bareback bronc and bull riding. The action takes place at the Bridge Lake rodeo grounds and the day opens with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. Slack events begin at 9 a.m. and noon is when the grand entry takes place and the main show starts. It’s an amateur rodeo, so expect to see a few friends and neighbours in the arena along with some top-notch talent. Bridge Lake

C o m m u n i t y Association president Jaime Law says the event is a good place for novices to get started in rodeo. “We get lots of children starting here.” WWE Rodeo and Bill Cunningham are the stock contractors, and Terry Denault returns as the announcer. The concession stand will be in full swing, pumping out burgers and hotdogs

and the refreshment garden opens at 10 a.m. and will be open a little longer than usual this year. It will give people more time to socialize, as rodeo committee member David Cunningham notes that for the first time in many years, there will not be a rodeo dance. “We would rather have a dance, but with

such a lack of support, we don’t have the people to do it.” He says the pool of volunteers has shrunk over the years, making it impossible to organize a dance. The admission fee to the rodeo is $10 for adults; $5 for seniors and children 12 years and under; and children five and under get in free.

Should I have my furnace serviced?

Your furnace, like any machine, needs regular maintenance to perform optimally. During operation, a furnace collects dust and debris from the air. This material infiltrates and settles on the internal components of the unit, reducing its efficiency. Not only does this cost you money on your gas and/or electric bill, it also reduces the life of your furnace components by causing them to wear and work harder. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs. Some of this maintenance you can do yourself, like changing your filter regularly (usually every three months); other work, like an annual inspection and cleaning, should be done by a qualified professional.

Q: What is a simple will? A: Ask a lawyer: 99% of clients want a “simple” will. Yet, the so-called simple will is suitable for only about 20% of them. Why? The short answer: few people live the kind of simple life that makes a simple will appropriate. A simple will is one which names executors and gives all assets to a spouse unless the spouse predeceases in which case assets go the couple’s children. Why are so few wills simple? Because so few families are simple: about 50% of Canadian marriages end in divorce - creating tricky problems in treating children from earlier marriages fairly. Many couples don’t marry. Then, there are many couples, same sex and others, who have no children. In considering the myth of the simple will, one must also consider the type of assets a will maker has. Is there a stock portfolio? Does the will maker own land outside of Canada? Is there life insurance? There is a place for the simple will – but they’re not as common as people think.

In today’s world, installing an anti-virus program on your computing device is essential. Whether you work on an Android Tablet, an Apple MacBook, or some form of PC device - Linux or Microsoft Windows based - you need to protect yourself from the enormous - and ever increasing number of threats out there. There are free options available which do an excellent job and are sufﬁcient for any home user who is not in need of extra ﬁrewall controls. Most of the free anti-virus solutions are licensed for home use only, while Microsoft’s Security Essentials product can be used by small businesses of 10 PCs or less - but it will only run on authentic Microsoft Windows machines. You should never run more than one Antivirus program on your device at once. If you are replacing your antivirus, you must remove the old program and re-start your machine prior to installing the new one. Some highly integrated and resource intensive anti-virus programs like McAfee or Norton require special steps to ensure that they are fully removed from a computer. Gold Rush Technologies can assist in this procedure.

Q: I got a ticket for driving while talking on my cell phone the other day. What are my options to prevent this from happening again?

Q: I need to purchase a new vehicle, should I buy

A: When considering the purchase of a new vehicle it is important to

The simple solution is stop talking on your phone while you’re driving, but if you must take or make calls, you have a few options. First, use your phone’s speed dial feature, which will allow you to make calls with the press of only one button. This, combined with the speakerphone setting on your phone should keep you out of trouble. Another option is to make use of a Bluetooth “hands free” system. Bluetooth is basically a short range wireless communication system. Devices must be “paired” with one another before they can communicate and will recognize one another whenever they are in range after that. Your hands-free system can be a simple as an “in the ear” type, or as complex as a dash or visor mount unit that will convert your text messages to speech and vice versa. Dash/visor mount units have built in speakers and some will broadcast over an FM radio frequency to your vehicle sound system. The price of your hands-free system will be dictated by the features and the quality of the sound, both for you and for the person you’re talking to; the better systems are much better at ﬁltering out background noise. Whichever system you choose, I assure you it’ll be cheaper than another ticket or an accident!

it personally or through my business? consider whether or not it will be used a little or a lot for personal use. If it will be used solely for work purposes, then yes purchase it through the business. You will be able to recover the HST paid on the purchases. If it is financed, the interest becomes a business expense. Likewise the business will benefit from the annual amortization (depreciation) expense. If the vehicle is used for both work and personal use things get a little more complicated. If the company purchases the vehicle, all the expenses as indicated above are still an expense to the business. However the personal use component becomes taxable benefit. The taxable benefit has two components to the calculation; a standby charge and an operating expense benefit. On the other hand if you purchase the vehicle personally, pay for all the operating costs, at the end of the year you can charge back these costs to the business. The usage charges are based on KM’s driven for business purposes at a rate of 52 cents per km on the first 5,000 KM’s and 46 cents per KM thereafter. If the vehicle is going to be used for a dual purpose; personal and business, it is important keep a log book. Consult your Certified General Accountant for further details.

What are the most common asked questions with the new government-backed insured mortgages that take effect July 9th?

• Why is the government lowering the limit on refinancing again? - The new measure will reduce the maximum amount on refinancing to 80% from 85% of the value of the home. This will promote saving through home ownership and limit the shifting of consumer debt into mortgages guaranteed by taxpayers. • Why is the Government lowering the maximum amortization period again? - The new measure will reduce the maximum amortization period to 25 years. This will reduce the total interest payments Canadian families make on their mortgages, helping them build up equity in their homes more quickly and pay off their mortgages sooner. • Why is the Government limiting the maximum gross debt service (GDS) and total debt service (TDS) ratios? - The GDS ratio is the share of the borrower’s gross household income that is needed to pay for home-related expenses. The TDS ratio is the GDS ratio and all other consumer debts. This will help Canadian households from getting overextended. • Why is the Government introducing a maximum allowable price for insured mortgages? - It will establish that purchases at or above $1 million would not be eligible for government-backed high ratio insurance, they would require a down payment of at least 20%. This will ensure that government-backed mortgage insurance operates the way it was intended: to help working families and first-time homebuyers. 5% down is still the required downpayment on primary residence purchases under $1 million.

Yes, you are correct. RRSPs belong to the annuitant - in your case, your husband. The money is not yours, even though you originally contributed it, and you have no say over how it is invested or when it is withdrawn. And by the way, there are tax implications to you, as the contributor, if any withdrawals are made within three years after a contribution. If the funds are withdrawn after the three year period has expired, than income will be taxed in your husband’s hands.

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!

MONIKA PATERSON 250-395-0918 llhnews@gmail.com

The Lac la Hache Elementary School hosted members from the Canim Lake and Alkali Lake Indian bands June 15. School principal Steve Carpenter says it was a great day and the students learned so much from the dancers, drummers and elders of both bands. “Learning in a hands-on environment from people who are living within the culture has so much more of an impact than reading from a book or on the computer for our students. “We had kids who said they weren’t going to dance at the beginning of the day, and at the end, not one student sat out of the dancing.

Traditional Dancer Francis (Frankie) Robbins from the Alkali Indian Band, danced in front of students, staff and guests at the recent Aboriginal Day celebration at the Lac la Hache Elementary School, June 15. The ones who said they weren’t going to dance ended up having the most fun and even saying, ‘this is great’ and ‘this is a lot of fun’ as I danced past them.” The band members played their large group drum and sang as the dancers presented a number of different styles of dances, including jingle dance, fancy

dance and traditional dance. A lunch consisting of fresh vegetables, bannock, smoked salmon and stew with rice was served and enjoyed by all. Dancer Francis (Frankie) Robbins

invited the school out to visit Alkali Lake, and Carpenter says they are going to take him up on it next year and go out to see a sweat lodge, pipe ceremony and the cultural history his band has on

their reserve. “We ended the day with a group picture of everyone mixed in together and no groups based on culture, band, age, gender or anything — just the way our world should be.”

Fines target bootleggers, alcohol servers By Tom Fletcher Black Press

New British Columbia liquor regulations include a $575 fine for adults who buy alcohol for under-aged drinkers, or serve them in restaurants and pubs. The fines apply to serving staff who fail to check identification, in addition to penalties already in place for licensed establishments that serve under-aged drinkers. Those penalties range from fines of $7,500 to $10,000 or a licence suspension of 10 to 15 days. Parents and guardians who provide booze to their under-19 children are exempt from the tickets. The new tickets are

part of an effort by the B.C. Liberal government to streamline the court system, after imposing new administrative penalties for impaired driving. For supplying alcohol to minors, police previously handed out court appearance notices. The new tickets can still be disputed in court, but the onus is on the person ticketed to dispute or pay it. B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices

Association president Ian Tostenson said the organization supports the new penalties. 1928 wine law has sour taste The federal government is finally moving to modernize its alcohol transportation rules, amending a 1928 law that prevents people from buying wine across provincial borders. The House of Commons has unanimously supported

a private members’ bill from OkanaganCoquihalla MP Dan Albas that provides for a personal exemption from a law created during the Prohibition Era to stop smuggling and tax evasion. The wine industry and British Columbia politicians have argued individuals should be able to buy or order a case of wine they enjoyed while on vacation. The bill still has to pass the Senate.

Once the federal law is changed, B.C. and other provinces would need to establish a personal exemption to allow personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders. Beer carts don’t need ICBC The B.C. Liberal government has changed regulations that required golf course beverage carts to be covered by an

ICBC insurance policy. “Carrying double coverage for liability wasn’t enhancing safety for golf course members and guests,” said Douglas Ferne of the National Golf Course Owners Association. “In fact, it was just creating more work and cost for golf courses, with no real benefits.” The change also relieves miniature cars such as those

used in parades, as well as industrial utility vehicles that are only driven briefly to cross roads to get to a worksite. The new regulations require owners to have private third-party liability insurance. In 2011, the provincial government created similar exemptions for golf carts and mobile equipment, such as personal lifts and powered wheelbarrows.

It resulted in the same amount of money being taken in. The historical society had its annual general meeting on April 28 during which longtime director Gil Adolph hung up his hat and Bill McLaughlin of 150 Mile House was welcomed as his replacement. Rutledge says the new roof and deck are the only major projects that were slated for this year and efforts of the board will now be focused on maintenance of the seven-acre (2.8-hectare) site.

Beloved Interlakes cowboy passes away BRIDGE LAKE/ INTERLAKES DIANA FORSTER 250-593-2155

Sadly, one of Interlakes best-loved cowboys, Danny Lytton passed away June 17 at the age of 63, after a brave battle with cancer. In 2000, Dan suffered a serious rodeo accident that left him a paraplegic, but it didn’t stop him from going about his “cowboying business,” and he could often be found with his cattle, or trimming someone’s horses’ hooves. Dan was also indispensable as a director of Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission and chair of their Interlakes BCRA Rodeo for many years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Sincere sympathy is extended to Linda, Ty, Tana, Jodie, Leon, Pat and Sandy, as well as Danny’s large extended family. A celebration of Dan’s life will be held at Interlakes Hall on

It’s easier to manage and we’re able to organize the Rotary stage, so everyone can hear the announcements and music.” When the event was

held in the past on Birch Avenue, he adds, announcements and music could only be heard in the direct vicinity of the stage. He notes a major change this year will be the availability of convenient handicap on-site parking. Show ‘n Shine entrants will be included in a free draw for a multitude of prizes and they will also be eligible to win trophies for best in class for both cars and bikes. There are 14 classes of cars and four classes of bikes that will be judged and voted on by show entrants.

The story of Lumber and founders David and Susan Ainsworth, detailing the history

of 100 Mile House and area

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

T he Cariboo’s Calling

Great Cariboo Ride offers fun horseback camp Carole Rooney Free Press

The annual Great Cariboo Ride brought more than 50 people to the Gang Ranch on horseback to camp and ride together in July 2011. Doris Embree organizes the event along with trail boss Gerry Barrett and about a dozen other ride club members. She says 40 guests, all of whom brought their own horses, enjoyed the weeklong ride. “The weather was just beautiful; we were so lucky. It rained just enough to keep it from being uncomfortably hot. It is a dry belt out there, with lots of cactus.” Many guests came out for the ride from various parts of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, the Coast, the Okanagan, the South Kootenays and the North. There were about half a dozen people from Alberta, as well as one person from Germany. Most participants had been on the ride before, or were spouses of past guests, but Embree notes that for two riders, it had been 20 years since they last participated. “It was neat to see them again,” says Embree, a longtime member of

Ian and Sandy Compton from Black Creek on Vancouver Island enjoyed last year’s Great Cariboo Ride to the Gang Ranch. The ride gives folks from all over British Columbia, other provinces and abroad an opportunity to see the beautiful Cariboo country on horseback. the society. The guests were joined by 14 club members who guided, cooked and provided activities and other support, she adds. Embree explains the riders travelled to Bear Springs located on the large, historic Gang Ranch. “There were long and short rides every day, travelling to old homesteads and other points of interest, including the store at Home Ranch, past Freshwater Lake, and the ‘bone yard’ full of [antique farm] machinery that has

seen better days.” Rides also visited some old, tumbledown homesteads at Wyatt Flats and Williams Meadow, the Table Mountain flats overlooking Churn Creek and the Fraser River, and the George’s Rock gravesite. “It’s a rock that’s a real short, steep climb to the top and you can see for miles in every direction. It’s pretty phenomenal.” There was also plenty of time for folks to relax and enjoy campfires and camaraderie, Embree

says, as well as singing songs, playing horseshoes and competing in other games, such as horseback scavenger hunts. Two young female guests brought in a pink bull from Alberta who provided some fun instruction, demonstrations and group practice in team roping, she adds. Local square dance caller Dave Abbs and his wife, Bev, once again made the long drive out to the camp on poor, muddy roads with a generator and music to host a night

of fun-filled dance. It was harder to ride the horses along the trails last summer, as they were knee-deep in alfalfa, which is unusual for the area, she notes. “It was right under the horses’ noses, so they were eating as they walked.” The food prepared by regular camp cook Ulli Vogler didn’t leave any hungry guests, either. “People can’t believe how wonderful her meals are because you’re way out in the bush.” Vogler was up at

refrigerator (reefer) to help ensure great meals. “We would like to thank Larry and Bev Ramstad, managers of the Gang Ranch, for granting us permission to ride on the Gang Ranch property.” Former 108 Mile Ranch resident Hans Dankel founded the Great Cariboo Ride in 1982, she notes, so 2012 marks the 30th annual ride. One of Dankel’s earliest rides, also dubbed Ride of a Lifetime, saw more than four dozen people travel the 400 mile long Cariboo Gold Rush Trail on horseback from 100 Mile House to Expo ‘86, arriving to an official reception inside the world exposition’s Kodak Bowl on May 30, 1986.

Dear Canimites, As I write this, an early morning sun shines warmly over the southern hills of Canim Lake, the first after a week of rain. The birds are singing, and the residents, too. Kermit the frog would love this place, green beyond belief. Stepping stones Eleven of Canim Lake’s avid gardeners gathered to fashion stained glass stepping stones to add a touch of artistic and functional beauty to their gardens, using patterns of hummingbirds, iris, frogs, angels and bright suns. The women were helped in their efforts by Kathy Reid from

Mahood Lake camping Big improvements have been made to the Mahood Lake Campground this

year, with the installation of $30,000 worth of children’s playground equipment, including a new climbing wall. Park facility operators Paul and Karen Blackwell say children love it. In addition to that, the huge former group camping area was divided into two sites, each with its own facilities and they are still spacious enough to serve a large gathering. Recently Sherri and Colin Latimer celebrated their wedding there, with more than 100 guests, many staying overnight in tents and RVs. Group and individual sites can be booked online at www.discovercamp ing.ca. Select Wells Gray Park, as the

Mahood Lake campground is contained within it. The campground is a great picnicking spot after a hike into the Canim and Mahood falls. Paul says there is no charge for the picnic area, which is located by the beach and the playground equipment. There is also a very good boat launch. The fishing has been “excellent” this year, with a 25-pound lake trout landed already.

To submit a question for one of our experts on this page please email martina@100milefreepress.net

SPLIT LEVEL TBM 1987

Ask an Expert: Why do I have to clean my eavestroughs? If the eaves are full and the drains are plugged, they defeat the purpose of having eaves in the first place. Water overflows and causes damage to landscaping and the gutter system. The weight of the water in the gutter will cause it to pull away and eventually fall off. Basement flooding: High volumes of rain over short time periods are becoming commonplace. Typically, the volume of rainwater exceeds the capability of your sump pump or sewer to discharge the rainwater away from your house. As a result, basement flooding occurs. Ensuring rainwater flows away from your property minimizes the volume of water your sump pump or sewer has to handle. Wood rot: If the drains are plugged, water could sit in the gutters for weeks. If you have wooden gutters or facia, these areas will rot first. If your gutters are overflowing, the splash back effect will cause doorways, garage doors, low-to-the-ground siding and decks to rot. Mosquito infestation: Mosquitoes love stagnant water. If your gutters are plugged they can be an oasis for mosquito larvae to grow and hatch. Icedams: Lastly, If your gutters are plugged up when winter sets in, ice will fill up the gutters first and then creep up your roof. As it melts water will come through your ceilings and walls. If left unattended this water could destroy your floors and cause considerable mold within the home.

Lac des Roches Fly Fishing

L Surface Area • 657 Hectares (1,623 Acres) Maximum Depth • 47.2 metres (155 feet) Elevation (ASL) • 1,134 metres (3,720 feet) Survey Date • July 1959 Contour Units • Feet

ac Des Roches is located along Highway 24, often referred to as the “Fishing Highway”. It is known for having an excellent trout fishery, and is heavily stocked each year with Pennask, Blackwater and Tunkwa strains of rainbow trout. The lake is renowned for its Mayfly hatch, usually occuring during May and June, which provides some of the best fly fishing in the region. Fly fishers from around the world come to the lake specifically for this hatch.

Good flies to keep on hand for summer fishing are Tom Thumbs, and green or grey sedge patterns are good bets. Shrimp can work well all season, while the trout seem to favour nymph patterns in the fall. A well-placed Woolly Worm can produce good results, too. Gear fishing is also popular, and trolling is an effective way to make the most of your time on the lake. Needlefish and flatfish work well here, aiming for gold or yellow colour combinations. Spin casting is also effective, using similar colours.

LAKE ACCESS

ighway 24 runs east-west and joins two major highways in BC: Highway 97 and Highway 5. From Highway 97 the turnoff is located about 10 km south of 100 Mile House. Follow the highway (east) for about 50 km to the lake. Travelling along Highway 5 the turnoff is located in the town of Little Fort, about 95 km north of Kamloops. Head west along Highway 24 for approximately 30 km to the lake. There

are

resorts along the lake, Lac Des Roches Resort, and Eagle Island Resort. Both are full service facilities with boat launches and cabins available. Lac Des Roches Resort restaurant offers an excellent authentic Italian dining experience, courtesy of owners / chefs Laura and Luca Lanzoni, not to be missed if you are in the area.
