Fraser Canyon. Cathy McLeod, who currently represents all of the South Cariboo in the KTC, says it’s not a political decision, but rather a new electoral map for British Columbia proposed by the independent Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission. It will be considered at public hearings this fall. As a result of the increase of almost a halfmillion people in B.C.’s population during the past decade, she explains the province will gain six electoral ridings, and also see Valemount join the Peace River-Prince George Riding. “[It’s] trying to come
up with some reasonably equal distributions amongst the ridings in terms of population.” The aim is to keep each riding at about 104,000, McLeod says, adding the change will see KTC drop from about 125,000 to 110,000. 100 Mile “obviously has a significant interest in the proposal,” she notes, so its residents may want to take advantage of the opportunity to submit their comments or request an oral presentation at the fall hearing. “This is their first draft, and now is the opportunity for the public to indicate ... if it makes sense, and certainly the
ultimate boundaries might be somewhat different than [this]. It’s up to the public and the communities to provide input.” Asked if she has concerns about bringing local rural issues such as challenges with South Cariboo agriculture into a Lower Mainland riding, McLeod says it is a commission decision and residents with concerns should address them accordingly. “It’s not my decision. Certainly from my perspective, I’ve enjoyed every community that is in this riding and ... working with 100 Mile House on its issues, and proud
of the fact they have an [MP] office there.” The chair of the threemember commission, Judge John E. Hall, says high population growth in the Kamloops area, Chilliwack and in three other regions prompted the “substantial adjustments” to boundary lines. Beyond the numbers, he explains the commission focused on historical patterns and community “interest or identity” toward a goal of effective representation in Parliament. “We also bore in mind the proper representation of First Nations communities and residents of the
northern electoral districts,” says Hall. Most areas west of 100 Mile House are not affected, such as Canim Lake, Lone Butte, Interlakes and most of the Watch Lake/ Green Lake area. McLeod advises those residents to consult the online map viewer at www.federal -redistribution.ca to see if their areas are included. A public hearing for residents in the riding to present their views on the proposal is slated for Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Kamloops Convention Centre at 1250 Rogers Way.

JobFest creates a stir among youth ENTERTAINMENT Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
JobFest 2012, a travelling event offering interactive career exploration, guest speakers, the lively band Acres of Lions and all kinds of cool incentive prizes, was at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100 Mile House, July 6. Young people aged 12 to 24 years were targetted for JobFest, but people of all ages turned up to check out information about the British Columbia labour market and to access six different career exploration tools developed by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. Many took the opportunity to take a career aptitude test and then learn specifics of the different jobs suggested to them. The Youth Zone

Bithia ChungHarris from CFEC says it was a great event and she’s disappointed for the youth who didn’t take advantage of it. “There was a lot of great stuff there and they put it out in an appealing way. Those
who were there loved it and had a great experience.” She adds many who took the career suitability quiz were surprised by the results. “It got them thinking about other careers they hadn’t consid-

Trustees approve teachers’ contract Carole Rooney Free Press
School trustees have voted unanimously in favour of accepting a contract extension that will see teachers back in the classroom this fall. The BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the bargaining agent for the province, the BC Public School Employers’ Association, recently agreed on a two-year contract that will bring them through the next school year. The extendWill Van Osch ed [and retroactive] contract covers the teachers’ union members from June 2011 to June 2013. School District #27 chair Will Van Osch says the board is “pleased there is some sort of resolution for the short term,” but notes it leads everyone back into a similar situation next
year. “I’m glad we’ll have a year of no job action. Especially for our district, if we are going through planning, or we want to implement anything from our plan for [2014] and we’re going through the consultation process.” However, Cariboo-Chilcotin Te a c h e r s ’ Association (CCTA) president Joan Erb says there may be limited job action happening this fall after the Labour Relations Board recently ruled it was legal. “We have been advised by the BCTF to refrain from Joan Erb any extracurricular [volunteer activities].” That decision might change at the union’s upcoming special rep assembly in August, she adds, as it is a “very divisive” issue. “It really is about 50/50.... It’s a tough one.”
Erb says the contract lacks any class size and composition language, and doesn’t give teachers back their collective right to bargain. “I was disappointed actually that we were asked to ratify it. I thought it was a bit of a cave-in by the BCTF.” On the positive side for teachers, however, she notes they didn’t lose post-and-fill language or seniority. “That’s been taken off the table completely, so that’s a good thing for us.” Van Osch isn’t sure what the behind-the-scene strategies are on both sides, or if it’s related to next spring’s provincial elections (due the month before the contact expires), but notes there is “a lot of speculation” around that. “There really hasn’t been any formal rationale given by anybody.... I haven’t really got a whole lot of information on what’s in the [new] contract for the short term.” The school board chair adds the past year’s job action has “taken a lot out of everybody,” so both sides will likely take a summer break from these issues before jumping into negotiations again this fall toward a new contract for next year.

District council: town square supported in principle Ken Alexander Free Press
At its July 10 meeting, the District of 100 Mile House councillors unanimously approved a motion to support in principle the local Rotary Club’s plan to construct a town square on Third Street between the community hall and BJ’s Donut & Eatery. If approved, it would close Third Street from Birch
Avenue to the alley behind the hall and the restaurant, but open the remainder of Third Street from the alley to Cedar Avenue to two-way vehicular traffic. The support-inprinciple motion would allow the district to gather more information from the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House and the general public prior to council making a final decision.

The motion was moved by Coun. Spence Henderson and seconded by Coun. Dave Mingo. There was no discussion before all councillors raised their hands to approve it. After the meeting, Rotary Club president Maureen Pinkney, who made a presentation to councillors on June 26, said she has heard nothing negative about the town square. “So far, I have contacted almost

I have received phone calls from other businesses and residents that are also very positive.” Pinkney noted some comments she has received have been to do with the existing square and overgrown trees blocking the lighting to the parking lot. There were also concerns about it being slippery in the winter, and the existing need for public toilets downtown. Although a firm date hasn’t been officially set for the budgeting details and the public consultation meeting, Mayor Mitch Campsall said he would like to see it happen as quickly as possible.

Timber committee hears local industry concerns
Carole Rooney Free Press
Two local forestry companies’ representatives were among those who presented their views to the Special Committee on Timber Supply at its July 5 hearing in 100 Mile House. They commented on the short-term timber supply, as well as key issues for controlling the midterm supply, which committee chair John Rustad roughly defined as what’s left for harvesting once the pine beetle-killed wood is gone. Tom Hoffman, who is Tolko Industries’ Cariboo regional woodlands manager, said the current pricing system needs adjusting or “many mills may close,” even if fibre is available in the short-term and mid-term supply
periods. “The structure of the province’s timber pricing system never contemplated a nat-
Tom Hoffman ural catastrophe of the scale that’s been caused by the mountain pine beetle.” Innovative forest practices should be used to increase the mid-term timber supply, he said, and some restrictions temporarily adjusted for protection of other forest values. By adjusting constraints in the local timber supply area
(TSA) gradually over time, this can happen “congruent” to the current CaribooChilcotin Land Use Plan, Hoffman added. “We need to redefine commercial timber by adapting new technology for accessing timber currently defined as non-commercial. So, make the pie bigger ... [such as] bioenergy and other opportunities.” Uneconomical and marginal stands can be made economical through issuing receiving licences (which redirect fibre to waste wood users), he noted. From an environmental perspective, Hoffman said maintaining long-term sustainability of the forests is “paramount” to the future of the province. “B.C. has earned a
strong international reputation for worldclass management of forest values. We must maintain and strengthen that reputation; we cannot risk ruining our environmental brand. “We need to capture as much value for [the province and its residents] as we can from this dead and dying resource and get new healthy forests growing for our collective future. Secondly, we need to protect the nonpine stands to supply fibre for the midterm, he added. Mike Kennedy, A i n s w o r t h Engineered Canada LP’s BC Timberlands forestry manager, also spoke and suggested some methods for accessing the unused fibre supply. The province

Controversial carbon tax is now open to public comment Carole Rooney Free Press
The last scheduled increase in the province’s carbon tax went into effect on July 1, and residents are now getting an opportunity to comment on the effects of the controversial tax. Environment Minister Terry Lake is adding fuel to the fire by speaking out in defence of the carbon tax after BC NDP environment critic Rob Fleming recently explained the NDP’s proposal to raise business taxes to make the carbon tax “revenue positive� to government. Lake says this would simply result in higher taxes to pay for NDP projects. “Raising taxes on business will only kill jobs in B.C. The NDP still don’t seem to understand that higher taxes will hurt B.C.’s competitiveness and our economy.� However, CaribooChilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse says his party would “return the corporate tax rate to the 2008 levels� to pay for the various services for British Columbians, but disagrees with Lake’s interpretation.
“Making this statement in isolation doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of the actual facts.� The province has received five equalization payments from Ottawa that totalled
Charlie Wyse $2.7 billion during the Liberal’s realm, he says, adding that during its decade in government the NDP had received just $125 million. The average economic growth of the 1990s approached three per cent, he says. However, Wyse notes that during the past decade under B.C. Liberal leadership the economic growth is closer, on average, to two per cent. Lake’s comparison of tax policies and the effect upon businesses doesn’t hold up, Wyse says. “The [B.C.] Liberal government is not in a position to make these accusations. They’re
living in a glass house.� Wyse adds his party’s initial concerns about the carbon tax have, in part, been borne out. “The effect it has on rural British Columbians, with the distances to be travelled, is a fact. So for individuals, there is this increased effect upon taxation there’s no way around here in the Interior.� Since the implementation of the carbon tax, he notes, there has been “nothing done to address the inequities here� for people in the Interior. The B.C. Liberal government has a track record of “ignoring the Interior of the province� and, in particular, its rural issues, including ranching and forestry, Wyse explains. “[The NDP] intend to focus on keeping good jobs in these local industries.� Lake says the New Democrats have “skipped over� the fact the carbon tax has returned $500 million more to taxpayers than it has raised in revenue. The carbon tax is revenue-neutral, he explains, as “every dollar generated is
returned to British Columbians through reductions in other taxes.� Wyse says the B.C. Liberals have increased taxes and fees for individuals instead, through things, such as Medical Services Plan premiums and ICBC rates, to generate revenue. Now, the government is seeking written submissions as part of its carbon tax review process it announced in February. The review is to cover all aspects of the carbon tax, including revenue neutrality, and consider the effect of the tax on the competitiveness of businesses in the province. This is to include the agriculture industry, and in particular, B.C. food producers, according to a recent press release. People in the Cariboo should make their voices heard, Wyse says, adding he hopes the review component for looking at relief for agriculture isn’t confined to the fuel used by greenhouses. “I encourage the public to be involved in the carbon tax review .... and to take the time to put pen to paper and send it in.

Black Pearl Removing local areas irks director Richmond Top Soil Sales Carole Rooney Free Press
The British C o l u m b i a Commission’s proposal to withdraw 100 Mile House and 108 Mile Ranch from the federal KamloopsThompson-Cariboo (KTC) Riding and plunk them into the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon is garnering strong objections from a prominent local politician. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area G Director Al Richmond
Al Richmond says there is “no logic” in the “silliness of an arbitrary drawing of a line on a map” that puts urban area representation in Parliament together with rural areas.
Splitting the less than 7,000 people in the Cariboo between three different MPs (including CaribooPrince George) makes “absolutely no sense at all,” he adds. Richmond explains it would be four-anda-half hours travel for the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP to reach the furthermost reaches of the new riding boundaries, including the CRD chair’s own Area G. “They took all my electoral area and stuffed it in with
Chilliwack.... I don’t agree with that. “I don’t think [any] MP covering Chilliwack would have the same appreciation for rural issues that we have up here.” The areas around Kamloops and Prince George have similar topography and rural issues, he notes, so he can see rationale with overlapping those ridings with the Cariboo. However, MP roles would become “very confused” by combining Cariboo areas with Chilliwack, Richmond
Guide outfitters’ intervals increase Amendments to the British Columbia Wildlife Act, which went into effect on July 1, have more than doubled the maximum term of a guiding territory certificate. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations stated the new guide territory certificate terms will give greater business certainty to guide outfitters. Cariboo Chilcotin Guide Outfitters Association president Stuart Maitland agrees it will give more certainty to tenure holders. The ministry has increased the duration of these certificates to remain effective for
up to 25 years from the previous maximum of 10. Maitland says this also saves on renewalrelated consultations, such as with First Nations, which will no longer need to be redone once every decade. The certificates allow guide outfitters to ply their trade exclusively within a defined area and hire themselves out to non-resident hunters. However, the change doesn’t give certainty to harvest levels, Maitland says, adding the guide’s quotas (harvest allocations) haven’t changed. He explains the moose, grizzly bear, mountain goats and
bighorn sheep populations, as well as the kill quotas, are “totally important” to the guide outfitter businesses in the region. Moose numbers are “way down,” affecting quotas all the way up the priority scale in B.C., he says. For determining those, Maitland notes the province places conservation considerations first, then harvests for First Nations, followed by resident hunters and finally guide outfitters. “It doesn’t matter what your certificate is that you’ve got; it’s what you’ve got to go with it.” Guide outfitters who previously

renewed under the old system will be able to renew after five years have elapsed on their current certificate, while certificates issued since the changes were implemented can be renewed after 15 years. This follows another change that took effect April 1, when guide outfitters were provided triple the amount of time available to provide a hunting report to government, going from 10 days following conclusion of the hunt to 30.

says. “It’s just another slap in the face from some people in Ottawa for the people of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, and I’m not very happy about it.” Furthermore, the CRD board chair, Richmond explains the board as a whole disagrees with the proposed changes and will communicate its objections to the federal government. “We’ll be sending a pretty strongly worded letter to the feds that it’s unacceptable to us.”

he suggestion that 100 Mile House and 108 Mile Ranch should be taken out of the KamloopsThompson-Nicola Riding and arbitrarily inserted in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Riding is absolutely ludicrous. No, wait – it is worse than that. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, who is also the CRD director for the 108 Mile, probably summed up the situation best on page A7 of this edition: “It’s just another slap in the face from some people in Ottawa for the people of the CaribooChilcotin, and I’m not very happy about it.” The fact is decisions are made in Ottawa that have a huge impact on the South Cariboo, and all of British Columbia for that matter, and people who have never set foot in the West make them. These people sit in their ivory towers and draw lines on maps for the betterment of what they must perceive as the great unwashed in the western wilderness. The independent Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission proposed this new electoral map for British Columbia because British Columbia’s population has increased and the province will gain six new seats (and power) in the Ottawa. However, that doesn’t give them the right to pick an average population number they would like to see in each riding and then start carving out communities that don’t fit in the numbers game. These folks are drawing a map without significant consideration to the make-up of the communities they’re tossing around. Really, what do 100 Mile House and the 108 Mile Ranch have in common with Chillwack, which is where the power base is located? We have a different industry base and different infrastructure issues and different population demographics. We are far more rural and face far different problems than those in the concrete jungle. This kind of mean-spirited and arrogant thinking epitomizes everything that is wrong with the upperlevel governments, both provincial and federal. These suggested boundary changes will be considered at public hearings in the larger urban communities. However, we can still make our voices heard and give some input to the folks back in Ottawa as to our feelings on the boundary changes. Please look at the story on page A1 for more information on how to respond to how we might be represented in the nation’s capital.

MLAs exit with huge pensions With just 10 months until the next provincial election, the lifeboats are starting to fill up as MLAs of both political persuasions look to leave the ship of state. That means millions of dollars in pension payouts, primarily funded by taxpayers, will be doled out to exiting MLAs. Dave Hayer was the most recent MLA to announce he won’t seek re-election next May, retiring after 12 years of elected life. The B.C. Liberal served for a few years as a parliamentary secretary, inflating his best three years of earnings - the cornerstone of a pension calculation. His annual pension will likely start with $47,600 at age 65, increasing every year to more than $62,900 annually, should he live to be 80 years old. That works out to a lifetime pension of about $824,000. On the other side of the aisle, Michael Sather should start with a pension of $28,500 after eight years as an opposition NDP MLA. His lifetime total will come in slightly less than $500,000. Former Attorney General Barry Penner, who resigned his seat last year after 15 years as an MLA, will start his retirement at age 65 with an annual pension of more
JORDAN BATEMAN
GUEST SHOT than $78,500. His lifetime total will exceed $1.35 million. B.C. Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger’s pension, by virtue of his two extra years in office, is even larger. Krueger’s first year pension payout is likely to be $87,700, increasing every year to more than $115,700 annually at age 80. That’s a lifetime pension of about $1.5 million. Ironically, Krueger and Penner were two of the B.C. Liberal candidates who ran against goldplated MLA pensions in the 1996 election. Unfortunately for taxpayers, former premier Gordon Campbell took MLAs back to the goldplated system in 2007 - allowing MLAs to buy back benefits to the richer plan for the years they served from 1996 to 2007. The extent of that buyback is still shrouded in mystery, and the government has refused to issue a list of MLAs who bought back into the richer plan. We do know buybacks cost taxpayers more than $20.9 million. Pension experts tell us MLAs would be crazy - or incredibly principled
- not to have bought back those years and, indeed, we haven’t heard officially of any MLA not buying back in. Premier Christy Clark bought back her missing years, confirming that fact last year. Media outlets interviewing retiring MLAs would be well-advised to ask politicians if they bought back into the bigger, predominantly taxpayer-funded pension. Under the current pension plan, taxpayers contribute $4 for every $1 a politician puts in. Retiring MLAs too young to start collecting their pensions immediately are eligible for up to 15 months of salary after they leave office. If an MLA gets a job before the end of the 15-month period, the assistance is terminated, but if that job has an annual salary below $101,859, taxpayers are on the hook for the difference. They can also claim an educational grant of $9,000. No one is saying politicians shouldn’t have a pension, but MLA pensions should reflect the real world and go back to the 1996 NDP model -invested in a group RRSP and matched dollar for dollar by the taxpayer. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Hitting the information highway ENTERTAINMENT
Letters to the editor Conservative kitchensink bill abuses Canada’s democracy To the editor: The Conservatives rammed through the House of Commons an omnibus budget bill that is sweeping in scope, deeply flawed in content, and anti-democratic in principle. The (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper government has eliminated independent bodies, such as the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy, which offers advice the Tories may disagree with. By gutting 50 years of environmental protections, the government has given itself the unilateral power to green-light major and potentially harmful resource-development projects without adequate scrutiny. Bill C-38 makes changes to the Fisheries Act that could endanger many fish populations, including the migratory salmon, a timeless presence on the Canadian landscape, not to mention a staple of the economy. Against the advice of many experts, the government will be raising the qualifying age from 65 to 67 for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement, beginning in 2023, thus robbing vul-
nerable senior citizens of up to $30,000 in much needed income. As if targeting seniors isn’t enough, the new changes in Employment Insurance will impact those who work in seasonal employment and the government did not even bother to consult employers or the provinces, which will be most impacted. In addition to criticizing specific measures in this budget bill, the major problem is it amends, creates or eliminates 70 different federal acts. By burying dozens of significant and damaging changes within a kitchensink bill, the government is preventing MPs from doing their job by giving these changes proper consideration and scrutiny. While undermining the role of Parliament, Bill C-38 is a clear abuse of power and makes a joke of democracy. Once again, Canadians are kept in the dark and it is of the utmost importance that we raise awareness to this unprecedented situation. The Liberal Party will continue to fight against this kind of anti-democratic abuse of power. Marc Garneau, MP Liberal House Leader
Happy with LNG plans To the editor: I’m very pleased the liquid natural gas (LNG) plants planned for Northern British Columbia will mostly be powered by clean, renewable energy. This is a competitive edge that B.C. has over other prospective LNG suppliers, all of whom are eager to enter the lucrative Asian LNG marketplace. LNG is by far the cleanest of all fossil fuels and it’s far better as an energy source than the dirty coal that countries, like China and India, are currently burning at an alarming rate to power their economic growth. By developing B.C.’s clean, renewable energy sources to help power the province’s job-creating LNG industry, we will be creating thousands of additional jobs, a major win-win for B.C. and for the world. Charles Davis White Rock
VICTORIA – By the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays. This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal. With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen
TOM FLETCHER
BC VIEWS route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii. Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds. Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.)
Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and coordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report. For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

Men’s fastball action enjoyed To the editor: In the last two weeks, I had the opportunity to enjoy the playoff games in the 100 Mile Men’s’ Fastball League at Lumberman’s’ Park. With the idyllic setting of the Exeter Valley in the background, temperature in the 20s, a light breeze to ward off mosquitoes, it was a fastball aficionados’ para-
dise. Even though Red Rock Grill won the championship with their superior offense and defence, the sportsmanship exhibited by the Shuswap Defenders and the winners was a pleasure to observe. Jerome “Stumpy” Boyce showed all us retired fastball players he still has what it takes. With the professional job done
by umpires Len Goin, Jim Mitchell and Brian Hooper it is no wonder why fastball in 100 Mile is still on the rise. I would also like to thank your editor Ken Alexander for the excellent coverage he has given us fastball fans over the course of the season. Wayne Venos 108 Mile

Newsbeat Around the province Remains found
NELSON — Remains of a young woman buried by the Johnsons Landing landslide were uncovered July 17 around 1 p.m. The identity of the deceased is not yet known, though it is likely either Rachel or Diana Webber. The two young women were trapped in their home with their father Valentine John Webber whose body was removed from the debris yesterday. German vacationer Petra Frehse is also believed to be buried in the debris. All four victims were presumed dead yesterday. Since then, the BC Coroners Service has lead the search for remains with the help of the Vancouver-based Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team. The woman’s body was found under eight to 10 feet of debris, and 10 feet from where the foundation of the Webber home was believed to be.

Motorcyclist vs. semi
LANGLEY — A 49-year-old motorcyclist is in hospital suffering from serious injuries to his lower body after colliding with a semi on the Langley/Surrey border Monday afternoon, July 16. At approximately 4:30 p.m., a white Freightliner semi-trailer unit was travelling southbound on 192 Street attempting to negotiate a westbound turn onto 95A Avenue when it struck a red Triumph motorcycle that was travelling southbound on 192 Street. The driver of the motorcycle was taken to hospital with significant yet non-life threatening injuries, including the possibility of losing his left leg. According to independent witnesses, speed appears to be a factor on the part of the motorcycle driver. Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) is currently investigating and mechanical inspections will be completed on both vehicles. No charges have been laid.

A new form of medication that works extremely quickly and is easy to take will appear in Canada over the next 2 years. Thin, fast-dissolving wafers will soon be available with various flavours like mint or watermelon (take your dose and freshen your mouth as well!). The first oral wafer may be a migraine medication for fast action with wafers for sleep and motion-sickness to follow. Summertime is beef barbecue time. Why not substitute fish or chicken for that thick steak on occasion? Longterm studies in the U.S. followed over 37,000 men and almost 84,000 women on their red meat consumption and found that consuming less (both red and processed meats) led to a healthier life. And remember, a suitable serving of red meat is about palm-sized (4 oz).

Lightening strikes from weekend storms ignite several blazes Lightning storms sparked a dozen wildfires during the past weekend that kept the Cariboo Fire Centre personnel busy. Three of the fires
are still actively burning in the South Cariboo, says fire information officer Jenny Fremlin, but all are in the mop-up stages and no structures are in danger.
The largest of the local lightningcaused wildfires is estimated at just less than one hectare in size and is located approximately eight kilometres north and
Motor-vehicle incidents keep local RCMP members busy POLICE REPORT 100 Mile RCMP responded to 104 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Bad evening On July 16 at 7:48 p.m., 100 Mile RCMP attended the scene of a collision, involving a Ford Ranger and an ATV being operated by two young males, on Highway 24 at the Lone Butte landfill transfer station. Investigation indicates the ATV, being driven by a 16-yearold male entered onto the highway without looking and drove into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The collision resulted in the boys being ejected from the ATV. They were wearing helmets but did suffer injuries. The driver had scrapes and bruises, but the 12-year-old passenger suffered a broken hip and had to be transported to 100 Mile House District General Hospital for treatment. Charges have been laid against the driver of the ATV for

failing to yield and operating an unlicensed vehicle. The ATV was destroyed and the truck sustained extensive damage. Dangerous driving On July 14, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a call about an assault near 103 Mile. Upon attendance, the male suspect was gone, but while officers were in the area, he returned driving at a high rate of speed. When he saw the police, the suspect tried to stop quickly, but put his vehicle in the ditch. The male showed strong signs of impairment and was arrested. Charges of dangerous driving, driving over .08, prohibited driving and assault are being recommended to Crown against a 28-year-old 103 Mile man. Parking accident On July 13, 100 Mile House RCMP were advised a 2009 Dodge Dakota sustained about $2,000 damage while parked at the Marmot Ridge Golf Course parking
lot. The damage occurred on July 12 between noon and 2 p.m. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
west of Clinton in the Fiftyone Creek area. As of July 16, Fremlin notes crews, including 11 personnel and one water truck, were on site at that fire. The two smaller south-end fires are both about 1.5 km west of 76 Mile on Highway 97. One had eight personnel and a water tender still on site as of Monday, with 13 crew members remaining at the other. The 12 new fires across the Cariboo region range in size from smaller spot fires up to about 13 hectares. Seven of these have already been called “out,” Fremlin
adds, and the fires still burning are not immediately threatening any structures. She notes crews, equipment and aircraft will continue to fight the remaining fires, and the Cariboo Fire Centre will be actively patrolling for any others caused by the lightning. “The public assisted greatly in locating many of the fires from this past weekend, and the Cariboo Fire Centre would like to thank the public for continuing to report wildfires.” To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cell phone or call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.
Cariboo considered for Northern Health The CaribooChilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) is looking at the pros and cons of changing its health jurisdiction from Interior Health Authority (IHA) to Northern Health Authority (NHA). CCRHD chair John Massier says it recently notified these authorities and is awaiting replies. “The letter just informed them officially of our resolution at our April 20 meeting and that we’d like to request we convene a meeting in order to begin the discussions about the rationale. “And, to begin the
process of exploring the potential benefits of a process for realigning hospital district boundaries if it’s ultimately decided it’s in the best interest of the residents in the area.” Were the switch to happen, Massier doesn’t see it as a cause for concern that local residents could be sent to Prince George for specialist appointments, rather than to Kamloops. “If the doctors in 100 Mile House have good working relationships with the specialists in Kamloops, and that’s where they’ve been referred. I don’t see that there will be
wholesale change of that. “But that’s one of the concerns we’ll have to look at, too.”

Community facilities, such as local arenas, community centres and sports fields, across the province are now eligible for federal upgrade funding, but interested groups will need to apply quickly. The Conservative government’s new Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) has an Aug. 2 deadline to apply for the first, and possibly last, intake. Local and First Nations governments, as well as communitynot-forprofit organizations with projects that can
Cathy McLeod be completed before March 31, 2014, may apply for the grant. K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says the funding is focused on those existing community facilities that really need upgrades. “[When] we did the pre-budget consultations, we heard there’s a number of facilities that are existing that
TIMBER… from page A5 should put a stop to the burning of usable and economically viable fibre and waste piles, he said, and apply policy tools to increase fibre recovery after initial logging. “For example, count all fibre against cut control [regulations] with no grade exemptions and eliminate the current stumpage-free waste allowances.” The committee should consider the creation of new tenure forms, Kennedy suggested, and where there is a demonstrated use, allocate the additional volume from the fibre supply to those. He noted these could include supplemental forest licences, receiving licences and gross volume forest licences. Better utilization of existing forest resources for current and potential uses and sustaining high-paying jobs associated with Ainsworth’s local OSB plant will also promote a prosperous future for the community, Kennedy added. “Before we expand the timber-harvesting land base into new areas, let’s make sure the public gets the best utilization, the most jobs and the most economic value from the stands we are currently harvesting.”
could really benefit. It’s a program that will see approximately $18 million come to British Columbia.” The funding will support repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure that is accessible to the public, on a cost-shared basis. While it has a brief application time with the deadline just four weeks after the July 5 announcement, she notes the money can come through to organizations more quickly this way. ‘There’s a lot of needs out there that we think have already been identified and they have been waiting for an opportunity [to] move forward, so I think it’s appropriately a fairly quick turnaround.” If funding remains available, there will be a second funding intake for applications in November, but McLeod says she encourages people to get into the first intake.

Funding influx for local governments

Rhonda Brown, left, gets the scoop on the new $5 gift certificates from Tina Johnson at the recent South Cariboo Farmers’ Market. Folks can purchase the coupons from Johnson at the market and hand them out to friends and neighbours.
Farmers’ Market gives back to community Monika Paterson Free Press
The South Cariboo Farmers’ Market (SCFM) has printed 100 $5 certificates that have been distributed to no-profit groups, such as the Cedar Crest Society for Community Living, the 100 Mile House
Food Bank Society and the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre. The certificates are given to low-income families, so they can purchase items or local produce at the market. Because the certificates have no cash value, they can only be spent at the
market. This year, the coupon program has expanded, as folks can purchase gift certificates that can be spent at any of the many vendors. These certificates can be purchased from SCFM vice-president, and market vendor, Tina Johnson who is
also in charge of the program. “We want to encourage a wide variety of people to get out and take a look at the Farmers’ Market and to buy local,” says Johnson. Offering a bursary towards continuing studies for a graduating student in
S t r a t e g i c C o m m u n i t y Investment Fund (SCIF) grants were recently distributed to local governments by the province. The District of 100 Mile House received $299,535 and the Cariboo Regional District got $119,047 in funding from the Small Community and Regional District Grants (SCG) portion of the SCIF money. District of 100 Mile House administrator Roy Scott says the provincial grant comes each year and will become part of its general-revenue fund. “It’s formula-
agriculture is another way that we are giving back to the community, says SCFM president Karen Greenwood. For more market information, call Siggy Klausat at 250396-7150, or for the gift certificates, call Johnson at 250-3972547.
CCLF hosting large outdoors concert Pat Melanson is organizing an outdoor festival with performances by Cariboo artists July 27. The event will be held at the Solid Rock Cafe on the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship Church (CCLF) grounds in the 108 Mile Ranch. Performers will include the Tanis Family Mountain Music Band from the Nemiah Valley. Locals Niki Watson and Joslyn Ryan, as well the Kayla Galaher Band and the Five Alive Bluegrass Band will also be performing. It is a rain-or-shine event and Melanson says the CCLF is sponsoring the event and everyone is welcome. “Bring a neighbour,
bring a friend, and bring a lawn chair.” There is a $5 per person entrance fee, says, adding “if you can’t afford to pay,
please come anyway.” The funds will go towards the rental of the Rotary Mobile Stage.

Richmond says the SCG helps support local governments in providing basic services, based on total population and assessment. The CRD will put the money toward administration, he explains, as those costs are equally shared by the entire tax base, unlike some projects that may benefit one community more than another. Smaller communities with a limited tax base get a balanced portion of funding to help them provide basic services that would otherwise be short on funding, Richmond notes.

Grooming future historians with a tour of historic Lone Butte sites By Thelma Fayle Al Jones, Lone Butte Historical Association president, rang the old brass teacher’s bell as 20 Horse Lake Elementary School students filed into the old Willowford #3 Schoolhouse on Ryall Road on one of the last school days before summer. “5-4-3-2-1 – now show your best listening skills.” With these words, uttered only once, Lisa Pugh introduced
her inordinately wellbehaved Grade 4/5 class to the man who was about to enliven local history. As the children sat at the old desks, Jones invited them to wonder about how it might feel to go to a school without electrical lights or running water. “It’s kind of cool,” one girl said. “Going to school in a building like this would be like camping.” In addition to the schoolhouse, the class toured the
Pioneer Cemetery, the water tower and the oldest building in Lone Butte, the Alice Singleton’s house and nearby Diefenbunker fallout shelter. Jones explained the donated Singleton building was once a church, a Red Cross outpost, and a post office. Pugh told the students she remembered picking up her mail there as a little girl. With a subtle reminder from their teacher, the students remove their baseball

hats as they enter the Pioneer Cemetery to hear Jones tell the story of Baby Swanson, named on the cairn and buried nearby. “This is probably the worst place to build a cemetery because it is so rocky,” he explained. Jones told the students about the past use of dynamite to blast a hole in the ground to be able to bury “residents” in the (no longer active) cemetery. “Not ideal.” When a few of the students sat on the memorial bench at the Pioneer Cemetery, no one seemed to want to sit on the word “MURDER” a vandal had carved into the middle of the bench. Jones reminded the students that volunteers had built and donated the bench. He also told them 86-year-old volunteer Anna Granberg painted the white fence around the cemetery. Jones is eager to connect with potential history students who may one day take over as stewards of the community’s wealth of historical buildings. He mentioned the dreams of the Lone Butte Historical Society to paint the water tower (last painted 10 years ago), to create more murals, and to rebuild the Lone Butte Hotel one day. There are many partners who have helped raise funds so far, including the Cariboo Regional District and the

Williams Lake and District Credit Union. When complimented, Pugh attributed the fine behaviour of her students to the lack of anonymity in a community like 100 Mile House. “I went to school with many of their parents,” she explained. “People here know each other and that makes a difference.” However, she acknowledges this particular class is “not the norm.” “They are a sensitive group of young people.” “Thanks Al,” Pugh called out as she left to board the yellow bus. “You have made history come alive for us today.” Thelma Fayle is a freelance writer who was visiting the area.

Lac la Hache O.A.P.O. celebrates 30 years Monika Paterson Free Press
Lac la Hache Old Age Pensioners Organization (O.A.P.O.) #176 members gathered at their Pioneer Centre last month to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. They enjoyed a potluck lunch and anniversary cake with special guests Art Schoenknecht, Vera Sturmey and Henry Hall who are three of the charter members of the O.A.P.O., which was founded June 18, 1982. While reminiscing, Sturmey says it was “colder than blazes in the winter” at their meetings held in the old Totlak Building. There were old chairs, most with no backs except for the
strips of wood nailed to them and some with cushions or a pile of newspapers to sit on, she adds. “We met there but we wanted our own home, our own place.” The Catholic Church and the community hall were used briefly for meetings before moving into their own building on Clarke Avenue. Jim Bann, who was president of the Lac la Hache Community Club at the time, was instrumental in providing the small community park property, which was located next to the Lac la Hache Food Mart, to build their centre. It was given to the O.A.P.O first as a 99-year lease, and then outright. Sturmey says Bob
Brown and his backhoe scooped the first shovel of dirt to create the foundation for the new building. The Pioneer Centre was built partly of materials from the old Irly Bird Store that was located in 100 Mile House. The building was scheduled to be demolished and the owners decided to donate it to the O.A.P.O. Members took the building down, nail-by-nail and board-by-board. A lot of the materials were used to build the new centre and the balance was sold off to purchase needed supplies. Seniors with the help of many locals both men and women, built the centre. Materials came from various sourc-
es, and they received many donations from Lac la Hache and 100 Mile House. Schoenknecht, who worked at Weldwood at the time, used his employee discount to purchase lifts of lumber from the mill. Sturmey says she was always searching for grants she could get her hands on. “It was completely built with no debt incurred.” From the outset, the group decided it would do this project debt free, no mortgage. Even as they were holding their first meetings, they did not have their own phone in an effort to save money. Sturmey adds they would have to run to the store next door to use
the pay phone. This became a safety concern, and after some debate, the group decided to have a phone installed. Alex Fraser, then Socred MLA and highways minister, was instrumental in having their parking lot paved at the same time the school parking was done, says Sturmey. “It was wonderful how so many people came together to help out.” School District 27 phoned Sturmey as it was replacing its old piano at Lac la Hache Elementary School and donated it to the O.A.P.O., with the stipulation it stays at the centre. A lot of reminiscing was enjoyed about where this group began 30 years ago, and the wonderful facility they have and can gather in for many years to come.

The strength and character of pioneers who chose to carve out a living in the Cariboo is as alive today as it was 150 years ago. Don and Carol Foster chose to move to the Cariboo in the early 1990s, after living and working on Vancouver Island for years. Carol retired from a 30-year career in nursing and Don left a variety of ventures from owning and selling a car dealership, time as a “monkey wrench,” wood seller to a three-year contract with Fisheries and Oceans Canada Pacific Region travelling up coast as far as Prince Rupert policing the commercial barges. There are a few stories there, too, says this one-armed horse trainer. When he was 20 years old, Don was in a car accident. He doesn’t talk much about the circumstances of the accident, but the result was his left arm was amputated. However, it’s very easy to forget he only has one arm and achieving what he did and still does is a considerable accomplishment.

and the horses, while Don drove the truck and trailer up to Williams Lake. Travelling back by bus, Don would meet up with his wife and together they would start their travels. The trips through the backcountry always created great stories to tell, including the time Carol was driving the wagon on an ATV trail down some switch backs and the horse lost his footing. “I could hear Carol

On another occasion, she had to crawl on hands and knees to a neighbour’s home for help. Just over six years ago, Don was training a young colt the fell on him. A few ribs were broken and his lung collapsed, but Don was back riding within a month. The strength, character, love and admiration of Don and Carol who have been together for 40 years and are now in their seventies, is apparent in the looks and touches between these two spirited souls.
After 40 years together, Don and Carol Foster continue to enjoy each other’s love. After Carol experienced a brain tumour and breast cancer recently, the back-to-back radiation treatments have affected her short-term memory and she is now a resident at Fischer Place.

The Chamber of Commerce is a potentially powerful driver of local economies. I believe in the local economy which is why I conďŹ dently moved to the South Cariboo Region a year ago. There are times of change that always occur and it is leadership providing direction through these times that help to bring stability to any given region. A Chamber is strong when there is a combination of “Long-Termâ€? members with great insight and “Newâ€? members with a fresh outlook and perspective. Being a new citizen of the area and an employer of 25 other citizens, I believe that my nomination was reasonable and I therefore respected the insight of “Long-Termâ€? members that I could be a beneďŹ t to them in their current and growing vision. In making a decision to move to the South Cariboo, I found it very reassuring that our current President and past VicePresident of the Chamber had placed great faith in the local economy by investing in the community the way he did with his business expansion. It always takes at least 1 person to step out which makes way for conďŹ dence in a few more and then the masses reap the beneďŹ ts. I wanted to be part of the early wave of people and business owners who were willing to put it “all on the lineâ€? in regards to the growth and stability in the future of our local economy. There is always a choice to make in any organization, to be “market drivenâ€? or “management drivenâ€?. Lets go with management and win. The South Cariboo will need to look “outside the boxâ€? to gain and maintain momentum and growth in the years to come. I look forward to being part of the growth and change. ~ Leon Chretien

The Executive and Directors have been in place now for over three months and the passion to move forward is very evident. Collectively we decided the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce needed to re-establish themselves as the business voice of the area and as such have begun that migration. We are developing a five year plan to make the Chamber a useful and powerful voice to assist moving the community forward. Initiatives like a new governance model that could see the South Cariboo with one united governing
body. While this initiative seems to be stalled, a committee continues to seek answers that make sense. We have other plans to move forward as well as supporting good community events like Communities in Bloom, Hot July Nights, and Halloween Town to name a few. We’d also like to welcome Angela Cole as our Chamber Manager. Angela has a wealth of ability and enthusiasm and we look forward to the stability she brings to the Chamber. To our fellow business people, we need your help. We as the voice of the South Cariboo need

shade. Sunday was a different story weather-wise, with thunder and lightning in the morning. Huber says the worst was over by the time they were ready to start and most of the horses were able to cope with the distraction. Teams tackled an eight-kilometre marathon course, which took them through hayfields, meadows and tree-lined trails. Huber says all went smoothy, with the exception of the water obstacle feature, which was little more than a mud puddle due to a faulty water pump. “It didn’t make much difference to people. They’re just grateful they had an event to go to.” He adds carriagedriving events are few and far between and people travel great distances to attend them. Competition horses represented a range of breeds and sizes and a standout was Mystic the donkey driven by Pat Strang. He competed in the donkey division because
according to Huber, donkeys don’t have a refined enough gait to compete against ponies. “And they tend to look very sleepy until you want something from them.”

Cariboo Country Carriage Club hosted the Cariboo Trails Combined Driving Event at Huber Farm in 70 Mile House, July
14-15. The competition attracted 28 participants, with five from the South Cariboo and the rest coming from all over British Columbia and Alberta.
Lorraine Hill from Alberta and Richard Crosely from Vancouver Island were the guest judges, and Kathy Stanley from Green Lake was a shadow judge. Doug Orr from Alberta filled
the job of technical delegate who ensured the course was safe and set up according to standards. Saturday saw dressage and obstacle cones events run in the heat of a swel-
tering summer day. Cariboo Trails chair Ken Huber says each of the events took participants less than 10 minutes to complete, so they were able to quickly get their horses back into the

The next driving event at Huber Farm is slated for Oct. 6-7.
Gymkhana draws good crowd Spectators at the Watch Lake/Green Lake Gymkhana took full advantage of the shade of the aspen trees, as they watched the event at the Green Lake gymkhana grounds, July 14. Key co-ordinator Dimps Horn says the number of both competitors and spectators was about average, despite the hot weather. She was impressed by the skill of the riders and the range of ages, which went from tiny tots to senior citizens. “There was some excellent competition. The young kids just going up are so good and the seniors, our biggest division, was very good.” Competitors rode for prize money and aggregate points, which will
carry over to the Aug. 11 gymkhana. Aggregate winners were Nicole Hoessl, senior; Tiana Johnny, intermediate; Taylor McCullough, junior; and Wyatt McCullough, peewee. Aggregate runnersup were Bridget Rosetie, senior; Terris Billyboy, intermediate; Kailey Dube, junior; and John Noskey, peewee. Results from first to third in each division were: Senior: Pole bending: Punky Mulvahill; Dennis Gunn; and Laura Sperling. Stake race: Hoessl; Rosetie; and Amanda Pocock.

The team of juniors includes Alex Lubbe, Tyra Van Osch, Anna Lisa Craig, Josie Duncan and coxswain Ryan Bock. Games rules normally allow for up to three of one gender to represent a zone, but due to the shortage of junior rowers in Zone 8, an exception was made, says Jenkins. His athletes will compete in women’s doubles and mixed four events, which include a skills event, a 1,000-metre time trial and a 500-m match race. Jenkins says the skills event focuses on boat handling skills and is designed for novice level rowers. “It’s being introduced as a competitive rowing event

Briggs gets a taste of bad luck at judo nationals in Toronto Judo athlete Ali Briggs found out the hard way that in sports, anything can happen and it’s not always within your control. Briggs competed at the 2012 Canadian National Judo Championships in Toronto on July 4-8, but during the bus ride to the competition venue, a bag containing her competition gear and her purse fell out of the bus baggage compartment and was lost. She was able to borrow what she needed at the competition, but the extra stress and worry about her lost purse and identification was enough to rattle her. Briggs fought in the U20 52-kilogram division and beat her first opponent Emily Green of New Brunswick. A loss to Josianne Gagne of Quebec in her second fight took Briggs out of the competition, while Gagne moved
ahead to eventually win the gold medal. For extra experience, Briggs stepped up a division to also fight in the Senior 52-kg category where she lost her first and only fight to eventual silver medallist Audrey Francis-Methot. Briggs trains with the 100 Mile House Kokoro Judo Club and her coach and father, Ian Briggs says, “She sees how close she is now to potentially getting there.” Ali was a national bronze medallist in 2009, 2010 and 2011. She will be attending University of Lethbridge in September where she will continue to train with the school program. Kokoro teammate Stephanie Salzbrenner was also scheduled to compete at nationals, but had to drop out due to a concussion suffered at a competition in April.
Ali Briggs competed at the 2012 Canadian National Judo Championships in Toronto, July 4-8.

Red Rock Avengers take game 3 of playoff finals Ken Alexander Free Press
Game 3 of the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League’s best-of-three playoff championship attracted a huge crowd at Lumberman’s Park on July 10 and it was a barnburner. The Red Rock Avengers and the Shuswap Defenders had battled hard in the first two games of the playoffs, with the Avengers winning 6-4 in game 1 and the Defenders running away with a 15-7 victory in game 2. You could feel electricity in the air as both sides had a large fan base and people cheered throughout the rub-

When Red Rock Grill Avengers’ Brody Borg smashed this ball over the centre-field fence for a lead-off homer in the fifth inning it ignited a fourrun rally in the deciding game of the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League playoffs. The Shuswap Defenders had held the score close to this point, but had to settle for the 12-5 loss.
ber match, as they urged their teams on from the first pitch to the last out of the game. Red Rock jumped out to an early lead, scoring a run in the bottom of the first inning when leadoff hitter Brad Mills crossed the plate. Shuswap shortstop Neal Christopher tied the game with a solo home run in the top of the second. However, the Avengers answered with four runs in the bottom of the second to go up 5-1 after two innings. The Defenders got back into the game in the top of the third when Mark Boyce hit a monster three-run homer to close the
gap to 5-4. The Red Rock bats were hot all night, and they scored another run in their half of the third, and then added one more in the fourth on a solo blast from Brody Borg. Leading 7-4, the Avengers blew the game open when Ryan Odette stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in
the fifth and ripped a double down the first base line to clear the bases. Shuswap managed to score one more run, but Red Rock took the championship game 12-5. Red Rock chucker Pat Findlay struck out four batters during the game, while Shuswap pitcher Antoine Sargeant sat down six Red Rock batters.

Declare sets blistering pace at the 108 By Spence Henderson Fifty-two golfers braved the seasonably fine weather during men’s night at the 108 Golf Resort on July 11. Chris Stevens took home a lot of the glory and prizes, but the real story was Marvin Declare. Psalm 23’s leader was obviously trying to inspire golfers for the Million Dollar hole-in-one contest, starting Aug. 10. He shot a 42, which with his 27 handicap, worked out to a net 28, or seven under par. In the second flight, John
Tomlinson shot a 39 and Jim French had the only deuce. Third flight golfers are certainly trying harder and harder for a deuce, as next week it will be worth in excess of $90 if there’s only one. Remember the Tombstone 18-hole event on July 25. Golfers get individualized “tombstones with their name� and the par 71 plus their handicap (a 15 would make 86).

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!

Moore brothers pumped to bat at Summer Games Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
Don’t think you’re seeing double when the last name, Moore, shows up twice on
the Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games U14 Boys Softball team roster. Brothers, Brandon and Trevor Moore of 100 Mile House
both made the Zone 8 Cariboo-North East team after attending a two-day tryout in Prince George. They were among the 13 chosen from 20
boys who attended the selection camp. Candidates were tested on their batting and throwing skills, running and game play. “We got in no problem,” says Brandon, a seasoned pitcher for a 100 Mile Peewee house team. He has been playing ball for five years, and while pitching is his strong suit, he’s not fussy about what
position he will play during the Games. “I’m on the team and that’s good enough.” Trevor, a second baseman and the younger of the two, is still riding on a high following a silver medal performance with his zone team at the recent provincials. Trevor says he is finding it hard to imagine a greater thrill at this point, but
he’s still pretty excited about competing at the Games. “I think about
it and go through a play in my head and see if I can figure out where to throw.”

AINSWORTH Lee
March 29, 1947 – July 14, 2012
Lee was born in New Westminster and was raised and attended school in the Cultus Lake Area. Lee was a member of the Boy Scouts of Canada and was presented the Queen’s Scout Award by the Governor General in Victoria. In his teens, he was a life guard, a skate cop, and a gas jockey. He belonged to the Cultus Lake Swim Club, and at the age of 12, swam the entire length of the lake, beating much older competitors. Lee’s trade as a heavy duty mechanic and his subsequent jobs with the Provincial Highways Department took him all over the province of B.C. Lee has always been in love with his country, particularly the Cariboo. He knew the history and geography of B.C. like the back of his hand and was truly a Canuck at heart. His interests were hot rods and old cars, motorcycles, old guns, hand re-loading, world history, and camping with family and friends. In the 65 years of Lee’s life, he left his mark on all of us. He was a proud man with a gentle heart. He had an infectious sense of humor and an abundance of stories to share. Lee’s absence will be felt by many. He is survived by his wife Connie, daughter Tammy Gendron (Greg), grandson Xavier, and son Mark Ainsworth (Nell), and his sisters Diane Atkins and Lana Graham (Tom). He will also be missed by his stepsons Dale Hobbs (Tamara), grandson Declan, granddaughters Ava and Tyneshia; Alan Hobbs (Tammy), step-daughter Michelle Rodriguez, grandson Anthony and granddaughter Elise. Lee was predeceased by his first wife Wendy, his mother Muriel, his father Tom, and his brother-in-law Robert Atkins. There are friends Lee has kept since grad school. They mean the world to him. Lee loved his music – Rock and Roll And he sang it out loud from his soul. He was loving and funny and more. He was the real deal to the core. But his finest charm to the end Was his love of his family and friends. We will miss you Lee and always remember the good times. There will be a gathering for family and friends at the family’s home in the 108 on Thursday, July 19, 2012 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2B5 or the Canadian Diabetes Association, 522 University Avenue, Suite #1400, Toronto, Ontario M5G 2R5 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

With players spread all over the zone, practices are rotated between the main centres to keep it fair and Thomson says she doesn’t mind putting on the miles to make things work. Coaching the Games team is a chance of a lifetime for her and it is made extra special with the inclusion of her daughter, Jillian Thomson, and another South Cariboo player, Caitlyn Ray.

Everyone had their golf groove going July 10, says 108 Ladies Golf Club vice-president Gloria Corno. Noting they were playing under the low gross and trouble points, she adds that in the hot conditions, some just performed
more effectively than others, and kept their trouble points to a minimum. “If you didn’t stay on the fairway, you incurred trouble points. Three players - Pauline Weigelt, Gisela Nueber and Donna Brennan were spot on and had zero trouble points. First flight – 0-24 handicap
Joanne Garrow was first, while Julietta Morete and Patsy Wilkinson tied for second. Clara Koehn won the par pot and Annie McKave captured the birdie pot. Second flight – 25-32 handicap Maureen Menzies took first and Carol Lidstone finished second. Lynn Smeds and
Pam Dutchak tied for third place. Carol Lidstone took the par pot and the birdie pot was carried over. Third flight - 33-46 handicap P. Weigelt, G. Nueber and Sharlene Anderson placed first, second and third. Maureen Pinkney and G. Corno won the par pots.

Drop-in soccer continues through summer There will be adult drop-in soccer for both men and women in 100 Mile House this summer. Games will be played at the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association soccer park on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. or “until our legs do not carry us anymore,” says organizer Werner Heine. “We will all play together [all ages] since we do not have enough old guys like me coming out, so we play with the young bucks.” With quite a few students coming back for the summer from colleges and universities, he notes many of them also come out and join the fun. It is a lot of fun and totally non-competitive, adds Heine The program runs until September and has a $5 drop in fee or players can pay $35 for the season. For more information, contact Heine at 250-791-6647.

The 100 Mile Men’s Fastball and South Cariboo Minor Softball leagues are holding a Fan & Sponsor Appreciation Night at Lumberman’s Park in 100 Mile House tonight (July 18) at 6 p.m. League spokesperson Cale Tessaro invites folks to come out and enjoy another great night of fastball at the ballpark next to the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. Hotdogs, burgers and refreshments will be available.
Proceeds from the event will go to South Cariboo Minor Softball. A fastball game between the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League All Stars and the Red Rock Grill Avengers (league and playoff champs) will start at 6 p.m. The leagues will also be honouring the 100 Mile ‘n Hour Squirts boys softball team for their second-place finish at the provincial championships.
Free walking club puts emphasis on healthy living Simple activities, such as going for regular walks, can make a difference in a person’s state of health, but sometimes a person needs extra motivation. This is why Rick Dupperon of 100 Mile House has formed the In Step for Life walking club.
It is an informal group that meets Monday through Friday at 6:50 a.m. at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, and heads out for a lap or two on the 100 Mile Marsh trail. “It’s for people who really need help because they are struggling with disease and
it’s for those who just need someone to walk with,� Dupperon says, adding there is no cost to participate and people can come as often as they like. He also leads a free health class every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the South Cariboo Health Centre multipurpose room. Topics
include exercise, nutrition, the importance of getting fresh air and more. Dupperon says he chooses to have a healthy lifestyle and he just wants to share. For information, contact Dupperon at 778-482-2284 or by e-mail at rnr4health@ shaw.ca.

Stumprancher HOOTSTOCK should be a hoot Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
It’s not quite Woodstock, but HOOTSTOCK 2012 promises to deliver a full day of good music and great vibes on the grounds of the historic Bradley Creek Schoolhouse on July 28. The old school is located on Eagle Creek Road, approximately 12 kilometres from Forest Grove. The outdoor concert is being hosted by the Bradley Creek Stumpranchers Association and will feature close to 20 musicians, storytellers and dance ensembles in picturesque surroundings, under the open sky. The purpose of the event is to raise money for further restoration and maintenance of the circa 1939 schoolhouse, built
by members of the Judson family and other area pioneers. The show opens at 10 a.m. with longtime local singer/songwriter Jill Hardcastle who will perform some of her own material along with covers. Garry Love, who goes by the name Troubador, takes the spotlight next with more guitar and song, and then dancers from Star Struck Dance Studio will bust a move on stage. Next, listen to music by The Old Time Band, which regularly performs at the South Cariboo Farmers’ Market, and Lorne Dufour, a poet who has published many of his poems in book form. The duo of Tom Walker and John Corpus from McLeese Lake will

tion of unique items that people will really enjoy. A concert day pass will cost $15 and will be available at the gate. Roy says he hopes to raise a decent amount of cash, so the Stumpranchers can continue on with their work on the one-room log schoolhouse. Since the 1960s when it ceased to operate as a school, the building has been used as a community meeting place. Sadly, that came to a halt three years ago. “It had gotten into such bad condition that we had to shut it down. Since then we’ve jacked it up, put in a foundation, replaced the floor, and now we’re finishing up chinking after pressure washing the log walls.” For more information about the event, contact Roy at 250-397-4103.

The shelves at 100 Mile House Food Bank are fuller after a recent donation of 1,000 jars of peanut butter from Kraft Canada’s 2012 Spread the Feeling campaign. The local food bank was among 34 in Canada chosen as recipients. 100 Mile House Food Bank Society president Bob Hicks says the donation was much appreciated. “Peanut butter is expensive and would take a big part of our budget if we started buying it, but it’s something that people appreciate.” The food bank closed its doors for the summer on June 19 and will reopen in September. Closing day this year was one month later than usual, says Hicks, due to the high demand for their services. On their last day, 133 food hampers were given out. People can still access food hampers at Loaves & Fishes Outreach, located on Exeter Truck Route, on Wednesdays between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. If necessary, Hicks adds the food bank can still help people if they call him at 250397-2571 or Kathy Haveman at 250-3954661.

Boaters must be able to show permits and licences ROCHES… from page B4 Busy long weekend Despite rain showers, the lake was very well used. From most accounts, fishers had great success even though there was a wide range of watercraft using the lake near some of the popular fishing shoals. In just a
few warm nights, the lake went from “a little too chilly” to “warm enough” for swimming and the temperature continues to rise with this lovely summer weather. Be prepared Operating permit, safety equipment, licences and alcohol seemed to be priority items for the conservation officer
who toured around Lac des Roches and checked boaters on July 7. Several infractions were reported; however, they were mostly as a result of poor memories as opposed to intentional disregard of the law. A boater’s operator permit and driver’s licence may be safe, tucked away at the cabin, but its absence from
the boat will – at the very least – warrant a warning ticket to the operator. Visits from both conservation officers and RCMP members can be expected throughout the summer at all British Columbia lakes. Troublesome trees Regardless of how it came to be librated, the huge spruce
tree floating in the middle of Lac des Roches on the July long weekend has been relocated to its final resting place. Our safety-conscious neighbour used his big boat, latched onto the travelling timber and towed it to Snag Bay. There, alongside dozens of other displaced deadfalls, it will provide a new feeding ground for
rainbow trout and roosts for waterfowl and birds. Leaf miners Finally, the aspen trees around the lake seem to be getting a reprieve from the leaf miner that has been plaguing the area for the last few years. Although there is evidence the little critters have been burrowing in the

Wildlife watching Bucks, does and fawns are regularly seen around the lake. The fox and several badgers are moving through the yards along Boultbee Road. Bear sightings had slowed down, but fresh bear scat near the east end of McCarthy Road indicates a bear is nearby. Up to three bald eagles at a time have been observed watching the lake from the tree tops on Carlos’ point and this probably explains why there has been a decrease in the number of waterfowl chicks swimming in the quiet bays nearby.

IS THIS YOU?! (CIRCLED)
Community Association Formed in Forest Grove By Marianne Van Osch On June 24, an open house was held at the Forest Grove Legion. President Tom Timleck said the event was a resounding success with more than 100 people dropping by during the afternoon to enjoy a visit with other residents and a lunch put on by Legion members. The open house was also an opportunity to meet representatives of various non-profit organizations in the Grove. In the afternoon, a meeting was held to look into the formation of a community group that would encompass all local organizations. Executive members of the 94 Lions Club, Legion Branch 261, Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Forest Grove Recreation Society, Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department and the Community and Parents Advisory Council of the school were in attendance. Cariboo Regional
District Area H Director Margo Wagner was also on hand. The consensus was that a community association should be formed with a mandate to work together to achieve common goals that will benefit everyone in the community. The following items were then discussed: • The bleachers must be replaced and the concession and dugouts repaired. An engineer will be consulted. The Legion has obtained a $1,000 grant and is hoping to secure a donation of lumber. • Wagner reported the CRD has budgeted $12,000 for repairs to the exterior of the community hall. Additional funding may become available. • The 94 Lions have taken over the curling club and the task of restoring curl-

She provided the association with a list of resources for obtaining grants. • An expansion of the present water
system is necessary to allow for development. The school has an excellent well that could be re-activated. • A sewage system was seen as a necessity in the future. A plan must be formulated as a first step. • A businessmen’s association is being formed with the initial meeting on July 15 at noon at the Legion.

Ask an Expert: Is there any way to protect my yard from forest fires? • Within the first 30 feet, there should be little or no vegetation. If you live on a hillside, be sure to leave a larger safety zone especially on the downhill side because fire can quickly advance uphill. • Cut tree limbs that are less than 15 feet above the ground. • Prune shrubbery and tree branches that are within 15 feet of stove pipes and chimneys. • Ensure there is at least 15 feet between tree crowns. • Remove vines off of house walls. • Keep grass mowed to a height of no more than two inches. • Avoid using wood chip and bark mulch. • Gather up dead leaves and branches regularly. • Use underground wiring to outbuildings. • Store firewood at least 100 feet away from the house, on a hill, stow firewood on the uphill slope. • Ensure propane or gas barbeques are located at least 15 feet from any building and have an area of 15 feet cleared around the barbeque. • Keep flammable materials away from the house. • You should have a second safety zone that extends from 30 feet to at least 100 feet. This zone should be planted with shrubs and trees that are less flammable than others. Check with your local landscaping retailers for suggestions on what would do best in your yard.
