Twister roars through 100 Mile

There were surprised expressions on some faces in town July 7 when a twister developed on 99 Mile Hill and tore the roofing off of Andre’s Electronic Experts building (formerly KSM Communications). The astonished staff members say they thought a big truck had crashed on the highway when they heard loud noises they couldn’t identify. Andre’s employee Sheila Mongey says she didn’t know what had happened at first, when the twister peeled off the roofing and rolled it up like a sardine can. “It was like a freight train driving over the roof. The whole building started shaking, the roof was shaking; at first we though it must be a truck that lost its logs, or something like that.” It was all over in a flash, but those 10-15 seconds were “trippy,” she adds. Employee Shane Paterson says it got “really quiet” afterwards, so he went outside to see what happened and See TWISTER… page A4

The initial phase of the Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) 10-year plan for solid waste management operations is growing closer to fruition. The CRD’s Solid Waste Management Plan was approved in principle by the board on July 12, after two years of studies, information gathering and public consultations. The plan includes a phased-in

CiB winning garden bloomin’ beautiful Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The spectacular garden of Michele and Stan Kaluza is a labour of love that recently earned the Best Overall Garden award in the 100 Mile House Communities in Bloom (CiB) residential garden competition. Their winning landscape is the product of five years of hard work and it’s hard to believe that little else existed in the beginning besides lawn and a lilac bush. “We pretty much started with a clean slate,” says Michele who is the duo’s designer, while Stan takes care of the majority of the labour. Their property is located on Horse Lake Road in 100 Mile House, and Michele says it didn’t come with a nice view, so they had to create their own. Her passion is flowers and carefully planned clusters, along with planters and hanging baskets dominate the yard. Along the back, a bountiful vegeta-

growing season. “We enjoy eating stuff just fresh out of the garden and often it doesn’t even make

it to the kitchen.” With a good portion of the yard filled with greenery and blooms, water-

ing could be a chore, but the couple has installed an intensive automatic watering system, which supplies adequate moisture for the plants daily. The property has a real problem with dew worms which led them to replace grass in the backyard with maintenance-free patio stones and fine gravel. She says they don’t miss having to mow a lawn.

The whole package impressed the CiB judges whose comments on a certificate presented to the couple, says: “Owner’s vision created clean, artistic design with excellent use of space. Efficient watering system and low-maintenance landscaping make this a dream property.” Michele says they are honoured to be acknowledged for their work, although winning the contest wasn’t their focus. “I feel it’s important to get involved and we do it as an example for the community. I think everyone should get involved in any way they can. I believe strongly in Communities in Bloom and wish more people would too.”

Technology is today where you can actually have a single waste stream that is sorted mechanically and avoid people doing that.”

Al Richmond “make it easy” for people who will bag it, but don’t want to go to the trouble to sort it. “Technology is today where you can actually have a single waste stream that is sorted mechanically and avoid people doing that. That’s a long-term [plan] for us when we put the eco-centres in.” Construction costs will be higher than anticipated, so the CRD will use non-

committed Community Works Funds of $170,000 to complete the pilot project. However, maintaining an affordable system is also key component of the plan, he adds. From 2015 to 2017, phase 2 will see eco-depots installed at the 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Quesnel community landfills, and there may also be a trial windrow composting of yard, garden and

veggie waste to determine feasibility. Savings of $400,000 to be redirected to these improved services are expected from added waste compaction and reduced contamination (which reduces hauling and sorting costs), as well as other efficiencies. From 2018 to 2021, phase 3 will primarily involve public education campaigns and continuation of the initiatives already underway. As it moves forward, the plan will gradually provide recycling access for all CRD residents, working toward its goal of a 50 per cent diversion of

solid waste by 2021. It will also reduce the cleanup and sorting costs of contaminated loads or improperly dumped loads; divert commercial loads from sites meant for residential waste; require users to sort wood waste; and standardize commercial tipping fees. The plan will be presented to municipalities in the region at various joint committees, and then sent to the Ministry of Environment for final endorsement. More information about the CRD’s solid waste management operations is available online at cariboord.bc.ca.

found there was only a slight breeze remaining. However, he discovered there was wood blown over a path of more than 100 feet across, Paterson says, adding it landed on both sides of the building. Susan Fryer, a nearby resident on Scott Road, says she saw the whole thing develop. “The wind started to kick up and I saw some dust going into the air, and then all of sudden I realized this dust is getting longer and longer, and I thought, ‘oh my goodness, this is like a little twister happening’.” Fryer notes she watched as it came close to the south wall of Andre’s. “It just started to move and it got longer and longer and it just pushed right up against the building, and then there were two-by-fours flying in the air and the metal roof just folded right over and was flapping.” Fryer says she isn’t sure how large the twister was, but notes it was definitely taller than the two-storey building. Performance AllTerrain & Rentals owner Jim Kirby says he saw the twister go down the hill on Highway 97 and estimates it was 10-15 feet wide at the base. “It was packing a bunch of debris, nothing big, but more garbage and paper and things like that.” Kirby adds he saw vehicles drive right through it that were getting blown about, including one with a trailer that seemed to be “rocking around a bit” from the force of the twister. “It had a bit of power to it. It was definitely more than the average little dust cloud that we see blow through.”

Mayor Campsall lambastes riding changes

“

Carole Rooney Free Press

Mayor Mitch Campsall sees “no common sense” in the proposed plan to remove 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch, Lac la Hache and some other South Cariboo areas from the current federal electoral riding. Regarding the differences between Chilliwack and Cariboo issues, Ottawa is “so detached from [British Columbia]” it wouldn’t understand them, he says, adding the current KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod does.

Mitch Campsall “In my opinion, [McLeod] is an incredibly good MP who has put a lot of time into our community, understands our community, and now we’re going to

BC Float Plane event cancelled The BC Float Plane Association’s annual general meeting planned for July 20-22 in 108 Mile Ranch was cancelled. It was to be the first time it was held in the South Cariboo, with three days of events and entertaining activities for aviators that had been slated to take place at the South Cariboo Regional Airport and the 108 Mile Golf Resort, with the planes landing on nearby Watson Lake. Organizer Willy Trinker says the association’s AGM has previously been held at Nimpo Lake for many years, but this year the 100 Mile House Flying Club was asked if it would like to host the event. Unfortunately, Trinker adds, the event had to be cancelled due to a lack of participants.

North, he explains, while many relationships exist between Lower Mainland communities. “If anything, we’re getting further away from Ottawa.... It’s going to be really difficult for [Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl] to even understand our needs up here.” Campsall says he holds nothing against Strahl (who has also

voiced his objections to the changes), but the Lower Mainland is “so detached from anything past Hope” Strahl would have a “heck of a time” representing 100 Mile House issues. “[McLeod] shows up here more in one month than anyone else has done in a year. She’s been really good for our community and to lose her would just be devastating.” The District of 100 Mile House is going to “fight” the changes, Campsall says, adding the Cariboo

Regional District, the North Central Local Government Association (for which Campsall is president) and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett have all indicated they are on board to participate in that battle. The politicians will eventually change, but the boundaries may not, the mayor adds, so he encourages local organizations, businesses, the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce and others to send letters to express dissatisfac-

Bloom judges: ‘very impressed’ with community Carole Rooney Free Press

The 2012 Communities in Bloom (CiB) judges swept through 100 Mile House on July 16-17, and local organizer Angela Cole says she is optimistic the community garnered good ratings for this year’s competition. “This year was a phenomenal year to me.

Festivities flourish with winners The Communities in Bloom (CiB) Community Barbecue went off with flying colours at the 100 Mile House Community Hall courtyard July 16. The sun was shining and so were the faces of the winners of various local awards presented by local organizers Angela Cole and Tom Bachynski. Bachynski estimates more than 100 people joined the celebration to see who won and enjoyed the free hamburgers, hotdogs and icycold soft drinks donated by local clubs and businesses and prepared by CiB volunteers. The ceremony was also witnessed by the CiB 2012 provincial judges Don Aldberg and Yvette May, who were introduced and welcomed to the community. The judges were in town for a couple of days to have a gander at the gardens in the community in their role of awarding communities with CiB “blooms.” Coles says there was a significant

decrease in attendees from last year’s celebration, which was “disappointing,” but notes it was quite hot outside. It was the gardeners and the “heart of the community” who turned out for the event, she adds. “I liked recognizing the people who were there. The ones who ... couldn’t be there were presented their awards the next day, and they were so thrilled.” Cole adds she “loved” seeing the

Lady Marina June Cecil was born in 100 Mile House in the 1950s and is the daughter of William Martin Alleyne Cecil, 7th Marquess of Exeter (better known as Lord Martin Cecil) who was a prominent cattleman credited with the early development of the community.

of the Divine Light spiritual community, including the positive effects it had on 100 Mile House. District of 100 Mile House Councillor Bill Hadden’s assistance with the tour

Conservatives call for closing F-35 scrutiny Carole Rooney Free Press

The federal Conservative government has called for an end to the public investigation into the issues surrounding the costs of procuring F-35 fighter jets. Federal NDP Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Riding Association president Garry Worth said he thinks Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government is furthering their “real credibility issues” with the stealth-fighter file. “It looks like they are trying to sweep it under the rug once again because they haven’t been able to come clean with the real story of the F-35s. “It’s typical Harper mannerism ... with that whole ‘no reporting to the Canadian people’ kind of process.” The controversial fighter jet issue intensified in April after Auditor General Michael Ferguson released an incriminating report on the matter. The report placed National Defence bureaucrats in the spotlight for several

250-395-7494

related problems, including failing to disclose F-35 costs were $10-billion higher than promised before the last election. Just prior to Parliament shutting down for the summer break, Liberal MP Gerry Byrne spoke out about a motion introduced by the Conservatives to allow the committee to issue its report without hearing any more witnesses. Meanwhile, Worth likened it to the streamlining of the federal environmental review process for resource development, during which, he explained, three

ministers presenting “useless information that everybody’s already aware of” used up about half of the committee’s time. “That’s the Conservative’s mantra. That’s how they get around having any meaningful input at committee hearings; they just control them and they bully them.” H o w e v e r , Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said it has been a “complete” investigation and it was time for the committee to wrap it up and write its report. “They’ve studied this issue for over a month, which is a

long time for a parliamentary committee to focus in on one issue.” The committee also heard from the auditor general three times, she noted. “That’s an extraordinary number of times he has attended.” McLeod explained the defence ministers have answered more than 100 specific questions in hearings and has heard from both officials and witnesses. She noted the government has tabled its plan of how it is moving forward. She disregards allegations her government is attempting to forestall the outcome.

Richmond nominated for UBCM Board of Directors At its July 13 meeting, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) board agreed to nominate chair Al Richmond for the position of third vice-president on the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 2012/13 executive. UBCM is the collective voice for local government in B.C. In its decision, the CRD trustees cited representation on the UBCM executive would ensure the Cariboo-Chilcotin has a pro-

vincial voice. Elections will be held during the 2012 UBCM Convention in September, after the nominating committee reviews the qualifications of each candidate. Richmond was elected to the UBCM executive as the Electoral Area representative in 2008, was re-elected in 2009, 2010 and 2011. He has chaired or served on numerous committees during this time.

“When the Opposition said we are ‘shutting it down’, it’s strictly political nonsense.” Worth said he thinks McLeod is “towing the party line.” “I really wish McLeod would stand up and be counted at times on some of these debates. I’m sure her constituents have just as much concern about the F-35 bidding process and all kinds of issues, but she doesn’t seem to want to stand up to Harper.” Meanwhile, federal Liberal Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Riding Association acting president Ernie Cordonier said the Conservatives’ move to end the public investigation into its actions with the fighter jets “lacks due process” for democracy.

Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Robbie Coltrane Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida deﬁes an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGufﬁn, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

he Communities in Bloom judges visited 100 Mile House on July 16-17 and they liked what they saw. A lot of credit goes to the organizers, led by Tom Bachynski and Angela Cole and their team of volunteers. Despite being extremely busy people, they managed to get all of the fine details taken care of to pull everything together. This being their second year at the helm of the 100 Mile House Communities in Bloom Committee, they knew what to expect and what to improve and what things needed to be done differently. Thanks for a great job. We also want to congratulate all of the business owners and residents who went out of their way to make their storefronts and front and back yards visually pleasing and full of blooms. A stroll through the district’s neighbourhoods provides a lot of immaculate landscapes – some large and majestic and others neat, tidy and colourful. We believe a lot of this improvement was due to last year’s CiB winners providing great examples of what can be done, as well as instilling a little neighbourhood pride. Once again, the District of 100 Mile House did a great job with the green, cropped boulevards and the lovely hanging baskets and street banners. It was also great to see the business challenge issued this year and, hopefully, interest will grow next year, especially for those along Highway 97 because they are the windows into our community. It’s especially important for a highway town to look green, neat and tidy, with a lot of colour because it provides a pleasant invitation for motorists to pull in to use the amenities. It will happen because it’s already getting better. Will we receive more blooms than next year? We think so because the committee added a couple of new wrinkles this year, including a visit to the historic 100 Mile Ranch barn and, the daughter of Lord Martin Cecil, who figured largely in the development of this community. The judges were also welcomed to 100 Mile at the site of what many hope will be the future town square. All in all, Communities in Bloom is a great building block for community pride.

Statutory holidays aren’t free As we approach what would have been the 100th birthday of Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman, we are reminded of his common sense thinking. “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” The same could be said of British Columbia Premier Christy Clark’s Family Day that will come into effect just a few months before British Columbians go to the polls in 2013. Someone will have to foot the bill, and unfortunately, it will be the people the holiday is supposed to help: ordinary B.C. families. It is important to acknowledge British Columbians already enjoy nine statutory holidays a year. Only Saskatchewan has more with 10. At the other end of the scale, Nova Scotians receive five statutory holidays. Add the minimum two-week vacation entitlement spelled out in B.C.’s Employment Standards Act and British Columbians enjoy at least 19 days off a year; most receive more. After five years, an employee is legally entitled to three weeks of vacation. Furthermore, British Columbians are also entitled to five days of unpaid family leave to care for a worker’s immediate family. Adding another statutory holiday is costly. Businesses that close on Family Day lose a full production day, but

NIELS VELDHUIS AND AMELA KARABEGOVIC

GUEST SHOT their annual wage bill remains the same, since workers given the day off must be paid an average day’s pay. With lower revenues and no offsetting reduction in costs, owners, consumers, and employees end up footing the bill. Consumers will pay if the costs are passed along in the form of higher prices. This, however, is increasingly unlikely, given competitive markets for most goods and services. Employees bear the burden if the businesses invest less in machinery, equipment, and new technologies that make workers more productive or offer lower wage increases in the future. Then there are business owners who will be burdened by the new statutory holiday in addition to the recession and slow-growing economy, the Harmonized Sales Tax/Provincial Sales Tax fiasco, and significantly higher minimum wages the Clark government recently imposed. For small and medium businesses, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) estimates B.C. Family Day will cost

$42 million. Finally, let’s not forget average B.C. families who, as taxpayers, will fork over tens of millions of dollars to provide the extra paid day off for 359,000 provincial and municipal public sector workers (or 2.5times regular pay if they work on Family Day), who already receive significantly higher benefits than comparable workers in the private sector. There are those who say the new statutory holiday will improve the economy since families will spend money on recreational activities and/or entertainment on their extra day off. To be sure, businesses that remain open on Family Day might see increased demand for their goods and services, but their wage costs will also increase because they are forced to pay workers 2.5 times their regular pay. More importantly, increased spending by families on their day off might mean less spending at other times throughout the year. Family Day might change the timing and location of spending, but not the total amount families actually spend throughout the year. The bottom line is statutory holidays aren’t free. Taxpayers, workers, and business end up footing the bill. Niels Veldhuis and Amela Karabegovic are economists at the Fraser Institute.

Letters to the editor

Run-of-river project make sense

Visiting driver appreciated assistance

To the editor: Much has been written about run-of-river hydro projects over the past several years; most of it misguided, ignorant and misinformed. That’s why I’ve made an effort to learn the facts and educate myself. Not only is run-of-river a perfect fit for British Columbia’s geography and climate, and able to provide clean energy from an unendingly renewable resource, every drop of water used to generate electricity is returned to a river afterward. Run-of-river projects are also located above natural fish barriers and, therefore, do not hurt salmon. Run-of-river projects also require more than 50 permits, licences, reviews and approvals from 14 local, provincial and federal authorities, along with extensive consultation and partnerships with First Nations.

To the editor: I would like to express my sincere gratitude to two 100 Mile House area residents for making my weekend at the Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show end on a happy note. I drove up from Chilliwack to enter my vehicle in the show. Along the way, I encountered some problems with the charging system on my classic car. After several stops along the way, I limped into 100 Mile House on Friday evening with no resolution to my problem. While at the car show on Saturday, a couple of fellows asked if they could give me a hand to troubleshoot my vehicle’s electrical problems. It was in direct sunlight and very warm where I was parked, but these two fellows took it upon themselves to spend the next three hours to pretty much rewire the charging system on my car. These names of these two gentlemen are Justin Boydel and Al Gage. They both had vehicles entered in the car show, but very generously helped out a fellow classic car buff out of a sticky predicament. I am very grateful for the way they jumped in and helped me out in spite of the heat. Thanks again, fellas! Barry Kennedy Chilliwack

Feds need to be health-care leaders To the editor: I am writing about the Canadian Wait Time Alliance report card on wait times in Canada. The recently published report card on wait times for medical care in Canada contains two findings that should make members of the public and policy makers take note. The report estimates one in six hospital beds are now occupied by patients who do not require acute care services, but end up in hospital due to a shortage of preventive, community-based health services. Wait times are best addressed by improving the entire health-care continuum and investing in primary health-care services, including home support and residential care that will improve quality of care for seniors and keep them out of expensive and inappropriate hospital beds. The report also notes the important role played by the federal government in setting national health strategies and facilitating their implementation. Much progress has been made in reducing wait times in the five areas identified as priorities by federal, provincial and territorial governments under the 2004 Health Accord. Unfortunately, the federal government has stated that after the current Health Accord expires in 2014, it will continue to provide some funding, but no leadership for health care. This isn’t good enough. Our publicly funded health-care system requires the shared commitment and co-operation of Ottawa and the provinces. Rick Turner, co-chair BC Health Coalition

Because the environmental regulations are so stringent the vast majority of run-of-river projects never get past the proposal stage. However, those that do, return over one-third of their revenue

in taxes and fees to local, provincial and federal levels of government. When you throw in the jobs and economic opportunity for rural areas and First Nations that are created by run-of-river projects,

the real run-of-river story is very compelling and it’s well worth taking the time to learn the facts and know the truth. Robert van Dyck Vancouver

Cummins taken to task on choice of words To the editor: As BC Conservative Party Leader John Cummins was in Williams Lake recently, I can’t help but comment on a rather irresponsible remark he made concerning a single group having veto power over the proposed mine at Fish Lake. Mr. Cummins knows full well that this is not the case. Veto power by definition only applies to power granted senates, or presidents of republic states. I think he needs to re-think his language, as his use of this word is not only misleading, but also inflammatory. I don’t know how many times the

fact of the matter has to be repeated, but I will do so again for the sake of peace, and so anyone who cares has the facts. In the case of the proposed mine at Fish Lake, full consultation with First Nations is not only morally necessary, but full consultation is now, as it has been from the beginning, required by the courts of the land. While so many people have gone off in a tangent, valuable time has been wasted, relations have been strained, and for what? Dave Lidgerwood Okanagan Falls

Put your faith in Stephen Harper To the editor: It’s easy to be an environmentalist if your day-to-day life already includes clean water, quality food, comfortable accommodations, personal security, emotional support, income stability and manageable debt. If your life doesn’t have these things, then environmental concerns are not likely to be on your radar. You’re probably more concerned about winning this week’s lottery. Global warming is tomorrow’s problem anyway. With seven billion people living on this planet, what difference can one environmentally active person make anyway? Beside, the experts are arguing about how to interpret the latest scientific facts and figures, and furthermore, (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper ’s government isn’t concerned about increasing Canada’s carbon emissions. We should put our

faith in Mr. Harper and forget about the environment. The future will take care of itself. It always has. Let’s just bury our heads in the sand — that

would be the tar sands — and try to estimate how much of that crude oil money will actually filter down to the average Canadian like you and me. While

you’re working out that slippery answer, I’m off to the corner store to buy a Lotto ticket. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Representation lessened by federal map changes To the editor: Thank you to Carole Rooney and the 100 Mile House Free Press for bringing front-page attention to the proposed changes to the federal electoral boundaries. The proposed electoral map for British Columbia places 100 Mile House, the 108 and Lac la Hache (all of Cariboo Regional District, Area G) in the Chilliwack-

Fraser Canyon riding. According to Justice Hall, chair of the commission designed to review public input, the reasons for the change revolve around population growth and “community interest or identity” with the goal of providing effective representation in Parliament. I would challenge whether a member of Parliament based in

a more urban setting would be able to effectively understand and represent our interests and needs in 100 Mile House, the 108 and Lac la Hache. This proposal needs to be reconsidered, or we will have taxation without appropriate representation in Ottawa.

Newsbeat Around the province Slide poses risk to residents QUESNEL - Residents are urged to stay away from Baker Creek until further notice after a landslide took place near Pinnacles Provincial Park. The slide, about three kilometres upstream from the mouth of the Fraser River, was reported on Tuesday (July 17) evening. Over the past few days, flow on the creek has been reduced by close to 70 percent, creating a risk of a potential flash flood. The creek may appear to be at a low level downstream of the slide; this is deceiving and may change rapidly. The City of Quesnel has declared a State of Local Emergency, a measure that helps the City quickly do work needed to protect homes, businesses, and infrastructure. The City is working closely with Emergency Management BC to monitor the situation and will provide updates.

Your turn…

What do you think of the plan to combine 100 Mile, 108 Mile and Lac la Hache with the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon federal electoral riding?

Marie Kuyek Green Lake I think it’s a horrible idea. I can’t think why they’d even consider that.

Alfreda Campbell, 94 Mile I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Missing dynamite search ends TERRACE - RCMP have called off their search for two boxes of dynamite which were lost on a forest service road west of Terrace July 16. Three boxes, each containing 15 sticks of dynamite, apparently fell off a delivery truck belonging to Orica Canada, a division of a multinational company which makes explosives. The third box was found on the road but there has been no sign of the other two. At one point up to 15 people, including 10 RCMP officers, were combing a section of the West Kalum Forest Service Road. Included in the search was an explosivessniffing RCMP dog from Vancouver. “The RCMP’s search is concluded with negative results. Investigation is still ongoing,” said Constable Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP on July 20. A statement from Orica said it “is currently conducting a full investigation into this incident to determine its cause and any corrective actions to be taken.”

C apsule C omments There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance. Everyone has their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, B-12) don’t work. Wear light-coloured clothing and use insect repellents containing DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice. When camping, be cautious when drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosporidiosis are caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2000 metres). Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of this disease. Cold water fish like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and salmon are good sources. If you aren’t a fish-eater, capsule supplements are available. Take charge of your own health.

Remains determined to be from bear POLICE REPORT The 100 Mile RCMP responded to 74 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Probation breached At 8:30 p.m. on July 22, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle, which was located on Horse Lake Road and stopped. A male passenger was found to be in possession of open liquor. After computer checks were completed, it was learned the male had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and he was on probation. He was found to be in breach of his

probation conditions. He was arrested and lodged in cells over night. Charges are being recommended for breach of probation. Remains discovered On July 19, 100 Mile RCMP were advised some decomposed remains were located in a rural area west of Lac la Hache. Some people who were motor biking in the area located the remains. The police with assistance of the BC Coroners Service determined that the remains belonged to a bear after a portion of a paw was X-rayed. Impaired ATV driver At 8:20 p.m. on

July 18, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a complaint of an ATV accident in the Interlakes area. The male driver of an ATV rolled his machine on some private property. After being treated for some minor injuries, it was determined he was under the influence of alcohol and was brought to the 100 Mile House detachment for a breath test. Two breath samples over the legal limit were obtained. Charges are being recommended for impaired driving. Warning The RCMP would like to remind people that charges of impaired driving could result if a per-

Metal theft drop expected with B.C. law now in force Lower Mainland communities hard hit by metal theft are expected to see relief as a result of new regulations effective July 23 for transactions involving high-value metals. British Columbia’s Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act will build on bylaws long in effect in a dozen Lower Mainland communities, including Surrey, where metal theft remains a public safety concern with a multimillion-dollar tab each year. The first provincial legislation of its kind in Canada, backed by regulations developed this year, is expected to significantly curb the sale of metals stolen in one community and then sold elsewhere, where no local bylaw exists. This province-wide approach focuses on metals and objects typically targeted by metal thieves. These include copper wire - the

main target in $10 million worth of thefts from TELUS alone in 2011 – as well as aluminum, bronze, brass, lead, nickel, zinc and magnesium. The regulations also cover specific metal objects, such as metal traffic control lights, signals and signs, sewer grates and manhole covers, and metal grave markers. Removing the anonymity that allows metal thieves to profit from their activities is a key goal of the new law. Now, those wishing to sell regulated metals must present valid identification. In turn, scrap dealers and recyclers who buy these metals will share purchase details with their local police. Officers will be able to use this information to compare against reports of stolen metal and seek court orders to obtain further information from dealers when required.

The location of the driving is not a determining factor.

Thirty-four years of service recognized Ken Alexander Free Press

Leo Topping was recognized recently for his 34 years of volunteer service with 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue. The accolades came during the July 10 District of 100 Mile House council meeting, and Mayor Mitch Campsall led the praise, calling Topping one of the most dedicated

people in the community. The mayor said it is amazing that someone could put those 34 years of volunteer service in and not miss a beat. “We also congratulate your wife, Anne, who put those 34 years in with you, as well as your family. Volunteer firefighters put in a lot of time away from their families, and go without meals and miss out

on family events because they’re called out to an emergency, and Leo always showed up.” Anyone who put in that much work into the community needs to be recognized, Campsall said as he handed Anne the gift. He added they didn’t put a plaque on the bear because it was a piece of art (by Vance Theoret of Stone Bear Gallery). The mayor noted

the community was going to miss the dedication and experience Topping brought to the fire department. Topping said he started at the 100 Mile department and he has enjoyed the experience and watching the department grow

with the town. “It’s great watching people come up to captain and Darrell [Blades] go all the way up to fire chief. Just watching everything he’s been implementing and carrying on from what Bob [Paterson] got started has been great.”

During his mayor’s report at the July 10 District of 100 Mile House council meeting, Mitch Campsall noted he enjoyed flipping hamburgers and greeting folks during

the Canada Day celebrations at the 108 Heritage Site. He congratulated the organizers on a great show and said they sold more hamburgers and hotdogs than they have ever done in the past. “I never saw lineups like that before.

It never ended; it just didn’t stop.” However, on his way home, Campsall says he noticed someone had driven into his truck in the parking lot and left the scene. “It wasn’t appreciated, but what can you do.”

Firefighters were kept busy attacking a small fire south of the Painted Chasm on July 19. Bombers dropped retardant on the blaze that was relatively close to the Chasm Sawmill. There was a ground crew working on it and two helicopters were bucketing water.

South Cariboo wildfire update The Cariboo Fire Centre updated the most recent fire activity as of 11 a.m. on July 24. There are still eight fires burning within the Cariboo Fire Centre region and all are into either mopup or patrol stages. A wildfire approximately 15 kilometres southeast of Chimney Lake is now 100 per cent contained and a fuel-free area has been created and tied

into some natural barriers. The lightning-caused wildfire started on July 18 and is mapped at 271 hectares in size. On July 24, Wildfire Management Branch fire information officer Jenny Fremlin said there were 84 firefighters and five pieces of heavy equipment remaining on-site. “This fire has displayed minimal fire activity over the last

couple of days and personnel have made excellent progress. “The objective for the day on this fire is to continue mopping up by extinguishing hot spots within the fire’s perimeter.” The wildfire is 25 km west of Lac la Hache, but no structures are threatened. However, the fire had crossed Enterprise Road by July 20, leading to a public warning to

temporarily avoid using the road, which has since been lifted. At that time, more than 100 Wildfire Management Branch personnel and three helicopters were still on site. The attack also included numerous pieces of heavy equipment and a Type 2 Incident Management Team. Another wildfire that was burning east of Chasm last week

is now fully extinguished. That wildfire covered 1.8 hectares at its largest.

SUMMER

Safety

Stay safe on the water this summer Thousands of people will be out on the water to enjoy the summer. While no one wants to think that going out on the water with family and friends can turn tragic in an instant, it happens. Every year there are more than 100 boating related casualties. Always wear your lifejacket when on the water. It could save your life. Much of Canada’s water is cold year-round, so always wear a life jacket while boating. Why? Most boating fatalities are caused by a combination of cold water shock and not wearing a lifejacket. The law requires boat operators to carry an approved lifejacket that fits, for each person on board. Wear it! No longer bulky and ugly, today’s lifejackets are comfortable and slim-fitting . Be prepared. Anything can happen on the water, that is why before you leave shore: • inspect all of your equipment • make sure you have the proper gear required for your vessel size • check the weather forecast

• leave a trip plan with a responsible person on shore • bring along your marine charts

N HAVE FUN O T H E L AK E !

Most pleasure boats must carry: • • • • • • • • •

lifejackets a floating heaving line flares and/or a flashlight a manual bilge pump or bailer navigation lights paddles an anchor a fire extinguisher, and a whistle or horn.

Get your Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Every powerboat operator must have proof of competency with a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC), along with photo ID - or face a $250 fine. The best way to get your proof of competency is to take a safe boating course.

Bighorn Bow Hunters host successful 3D shoot Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Bighorn Bow Hunters Archery Club 22nd Annual 3D Traditional Shoot succeeded in dodging rain clouds and thunder storms on the weekend.

have to do in order to have good race. “The opening goes late, so we can’t really be out late the night before our race.” The Eton Dorney Olympic rowing venue is approxi-

mately 40 kilometres west of London, and because it’s outside the city, rowers will have their accommodations near their event venue and will not be staying in the Olympic Village. Bergen says the team will be viewing the Opening Ceremony together on a big screen TV in their hotel.

The Psalm 23 Million Dollar Charity Hole-In-One Contest at the 108 Golf Resort is just around the corner and there are a couple of exciting changes this year. This year, Psalm 23 is adding some excitement for area businesses with the Business Challenge Cup. To qualify, a business must have a minimum of three golfers participate in shooting for a holein-one on either Aug. 17 or 18. Of course, the more golfers the business has shooting the better its odds of winning. The top 3 golfers closest to the pin will be added up for the team’s total.

Business Challenge Cup and have community bragging rights for a year. “Local businesses do so much for our community and we wanted to create a great opportunity for a business to have a team-bonding experience along with a chance to support a wonderful charity cause,” says Psalm 23 executive director Marvin Declare. “We got the idea last

year when manager Bruce Caspar brought his employees from Save-On-Foods and watching them have some fun.” Each business will have to shoot a minimum of 120 balls (40 per golfer) to qualify, but they can also hit as many as they like beyond that. There is a special price for business owners - $50 for 120 balls and for additional balls it will be

$25 for 60. The top 7 individual golfers closest to the pin in the Business Challenge Cup will also qualify for the Quarter-final Round. Early bird discount Psalm 23 will be offering early bird deals to the community. We want to give the community and those wanting to participate in the

Business Challenge Cup an opportunity to purchase their ball tickets early and take advantage of some great deals, Declare explains. “This is going to be a one-day opportunity. If you can’t make it down, send someone on your behalf.” Psalm 23 will be selling early bird tickets today (July 25) outside Save-OnFoods from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The discounts are $10 for 20 balls, $20 for 50 balls and $50 for 150 balls. Declare notes they will also be selling the Business Challenge Cup tickets on this day. Each purchase of $50 or more will receive a voucher for a free hotdog and pop, which can be redeemed at the 108 Golf Resort food trailer during the Million Dollar Hole-In-One Charity Contest, Aug. 10-19.

Q: From a tax perspective should I have a TFSA? A: Every Canadian resident, other than US citizens or green card holders aged 18 or older should consider including a TFSA as part of their retirement savings. The tax beneﬁts of these registered accounts aren’t in the form of a tax deduction, like RRSPs, but in the tax free earnings on the invested funds. For US citizens or green card holders, it is a little more complicated as the income earned in the TFSA must be reported on the individual’s US personal income tax return, so the tax savings are limited. Permitted investments for TFSA’s are very similar to RRSPs. And like RRSPs contributions in any kind are permitted. But beware that any accrued gains on property transferred to TFSA will be realized at the time of transfer and taxable, while any accrued losses are denied.

A: A client is a valuable and marketable asset to a business. Most professionals sell their business to a buyer where there is a smooth transition and the purchaser simply carries on where the previous owner left off. When a client is unhappy he or she is free to leave and take their business elsewhere. When it comes to investing, taking business elsewhere can be simple or it may be a little more complicated. If the new ﬁnancial advisor or ﬁnancial institution is an authorized agent for companies the client is already dealing with, a simple change of dealer form may be all that is necessary. If the new advisor or company only offers their own products, the investor’s existing accounts may have to be liquidated before moving. Liquidation can trigger capital gains or losses affecting taxes. There may also be early redemption fees and account closing fees to consider.

A: Effective July 1, 2012, the procedure for registering Ubilt Trailers, with a GVW of 1400 kg or less, has changed. When you build a trailer with a GVW of 1400 kg or less, you will now be required to provide original support documents for all major component parts. Major component parts are: Frame, Decking, Axles, Tires and Rims Acceptable original support documents for major components are: Bill of Sale, Manufactures statement of origin, Vehicle registration document, or as a last resort, a Notarized “Unregistered Vehicles and Missing Signatures Declaration” (MV1484) providing the description and VIN or serial number if available for all major components. Please feel free to come in and see us at the Cariboo Mall or at the Coach House Square Mall locations for more information.

Fortunately, nobody has to suffer through the pain of dial-up any more. If you live in the cellular coverage area, you have two options. The first option is an internet “stick”, which is small enough to fit in a pocket and plugs into the USB port on your computer. Theses “sticks” can only be used by one computer at a time, but are highly portable and, combined with a laptop, will give you internet anywhere you have cellular service. The second cellular option is a “Hub”. The Hub is a stationary device that doubles as a wireless router, giving you a wireless internet signal throughout your house. Several computers can be connected to the Hub and be using internet at the same time. The Hub has become the favorite among our customers. Both the “stick” and Hub are sold like cell phones with discounts based on whether there is a contract commitment. Usage costs vary, with monthly costs starting at $35 and fluctuating based on usage. Outside of the cellular coverage area, the only option available is a Broadband Satellite system. These systems aren’t as fast as the cellular broadband, however at 1.5 mbps it’s fast enough for most internet browsing requirements. Rather than use the cellular network, these systems get their signal via a satellite dish mounted on your house - the same way your satellite TV system works. The cost of these systems start at $99 installed, so they’re fairly economical as well. Come see us and we’ll be happy to recommend a system that works for you.

What can I do to help keep my house cool in the summer?

A: Most furnaces can operate in summer mode. This allows you to run only the fan, circulating air throughout your home without heat. Aside from bringing cooler air up into the warmer parts of the house, the cool metal ducting acts as a natural airconditioner, lowering the temperature of the air that passes over it. This effect is often enough to keep the house at a more moderate temperature until the outdoor temperature begins to drop at night. Keeping the windows open at night allows the house to cool down, ready for the fan to do its job again during the day.

Q: I am replacing my computer: How can I ensure my data is safely removed from the old computer before sending it to recycling, selling it, or giving it away? A: Any information that you had on the computer was stored on the hard disk drive. Even if files have been deleted from the drive, the data they contained can still be recovered. When you delete a file (out of the recycle bin), your operating system simply marks the space on the hard disk drive as available for re-use. Until a new file is written to that space, the file can be easily recovered using free software from the Internet. Even after that space has been overwritten there are professional level software programs that can read and recover the files. To ensure your data is safely removed, a hard disk wipe program can be used that overwrites all areas to levels standardized by the US Department of Defence. This can be time consuming and comes at an expense. If the drive is old and small, it may be better to simply drill a hole through the physical drive, destroying the surfaces of the disk platters.

What is a Collateral Mortgage and how can it affect you?

A collateral mortgage is a loan attached to a promissory note and backed up by the collateral security of a mortgage on a property. • Your mortgage is registered for the same or more than your property value. • Your collateral mortgage may not be released even if you pay off your mortgage. Your lender may be able to seize equity to cover other unsecured debts such as Visa cards, loans or Lines of Credits with the same lender. • Having a collateral mortgage may affect your negotiating ability with your lender at renewal; you cannot simply switch your mortgage to a new lender. You must pay legal fees to have your collateral mortgage released in order to register a new lender. This limits your choice to only your lender at time of renewal, where your existing lender may give you a less competitive interest rate. Ask your lender or your lawyer if your upcoming mortgage will be registered as a collateral mortgage. On any existing mortgages, check your legal document called a Form B. If your mortgage is a running account, you have a collateral mortgage. Your lender may have a registered charge against your title even if your mortgage was paid off. Understand the ﬁne print when registering your next mortgage! Contact me with any questions you may have.

Douglas E. Dent Lawyer and Notary

Will my lawyer keep the things I tell him or her a secret?

A: The short answer is yes. Lawyers are not permitted to divulge information given to them by clients. In fact, confidentiality goes so far that lawyers can’t even tell anyone that a particular client has met with them – which is why, in public, your lawyer might pretend that he or she doesn’t even know you – unless you speak first. There is one very significant exception to the rule of confidentiality: don’t expect confidentiality if you tell your lawyer about your plans to kill someone. The Law Society’s rules do provide that a lawyer may disclose information received from a client if the lawyer has reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent a crime involving death or serious bodily harm. Other than that, your secrets are safe! Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

which should have helped him in his match against James Clancy. Tom Lund’s 38 with his 16 handicap resulted in a net 30. There were five deuces, but none in the third flight which means there is a C note to share next week for any third-flight deuces. Furthermore, there will be 18 holes to try for a deuce because it’s the annual TIM –BR Mart Tombstone Tourney - 18 holes of pure golfing pleasure. In other matches, Jamie Crellin beat Jeff Kendy on an extra hole, and James Seeley beat Bill Harris 2 and 1. With the good turnout, we again had 11 draw prizes plus the usual 18 scoring prizes and seven long drives, putts and KPs. The 50/50 saw $73 go out and bring the main half to around

Canim Lake Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mining job fair educational experience for youth Carole Rooney Free Press

The Mining, Trades & Technology Job Fair hosted by Canim Lake Band on July 5-6 went off with a bang. Opening ceremonies included a welcoming by 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Canim Lake Band Councillor Jesse Archie. Job Fair co-ordinator Atoine Archie says his objective at the job fair was to demonstrate the career opportunities available in the Mining, Trades, & Technology industries for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[I wanted] to show people they can travel worldwide by mixing motivation, inspiration and dedication to build towards a fulfilling career through education and training. I want to inspire others, lead by example and prove to everybody it is possible to find a well-paying job that is enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? Campsall says the event was well attended, really good and the band did a good job putting it together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 15 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here, I have notice the emphasis put on education at Canim Lake. The Elders really thought it was important years and years ago and they began pushing

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!

Obituaries Remembering Peter Kristensen

By Peter Hart On a bright Saturday afternoon, July 14, with the waves of Canim Lake lapping gently at the shore, many friends of Peter Kristensen gathered at his home from far and wide to remember him. Peter passed away last fall at the age of 87. The event was organized by Peter’s longtime friend Gordon Kellett, and timed for the arrival of Peter’s niece Ingelise Rasmussen from Denmark. Ingelise talked about her uncle who she described as a “mythical figure” to his family back home because of the many exploits the young adventurer wrote about. Peter left Denmark in 1950. He worked his way across Canada, finally settling in the Cariboo at Canim Lake in 1954. With a few breaks, this would become his home for the rest of his life. His first job was with the Kellett family, enlarging the cabins of their Shangri-la Resort in the southwestern corner of the lake. That

In loving memory of Del Lutsiak (who died September 6, 2011) his family invites friends to join them at the 100 Mile Motel & RV Park on the evening of August 4, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. for a Celebration of Life. Come and share fond memories and commemorate this wonderful man while viewing a slideshow of photos and listening to some of Del’s favourite music.

Family and friends got together on July 14 to remember Peter Kristensen who passed away last fall. Longtime friend Gordon Kellett, who organized the gathering, posed with Peter’s niece Ingelise Rasmussen, middle, and his mom Marion Kellett. was the beginning of a deep friendship that would last the next half century. He was also a noted builder, completing several homes along the lake and the central part of the current Canim Lake Store. Other friends told stories about him, describing a friendly man of gentle character and consummate good humour, who delighted in the presence of birds and

animals around him. Margo Wagner described the time he realized he could no longer safely drive his car, and a search was made for an electric scooter for his daily rounds down the South Canim Road to the store and Marion Kellett’s home. He was taken to view a shiny candy-apple red machine, but exclaimed when he saw it, “That’s not the kind I want; I want one of the big yellow ones

Vintage Military vehicles rolling north to Alaska Monika Paterson Free Press

A convoy of historic military vehicles will be stopping at The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 260 100 Mile House from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on July 29. Legion spokesperson Leah Nielsen says it is a great way to raise awareness about military veterans and the Legions. They will be serving coffee, tea and some baked goods. Members of the community are encouraged to drop by and see these vehicles during their brief

stop-over. Convoy co-ordinator and 25-year Canadian Armed Forces veteran John Hawthorne says they will have six vehicles starting the journey north from Vancouver to Fairbanks, Alaska, with additional vehicles joining them along the way. The vehicles will include a 1941 GMC communications vehicle, a 1943 field artillery tractor, a 1940 Cadillac admiral’s car and a 1960s post-war Jeep. The convoy will be making numerous stops at Legions along its way north, includ-

ing Clinton and 100 Mile House. The 7,000-kilometre return trip to Fairbanks, Alaska will leave Vancouver on July 28 and will be returning to Vancouver on or about Aug. 18. The Western C o m m a n d Military Vehicle Historical Society is raising awareness and remembrance of veterans, and the Freedom Route 5 will also commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Alaska Highway. For more details, go to www.western command.com.

Mervin passed away at the 100 Mile and District Hospital on June 6 at the age of 85. Survived by his wife of 61 years, Yvonne and four children: Douglas, Daryl, Gerry-Lynne and Lisa (Randy); six grandchildren: Tyler and Alysa (Tyler), Pamela and Garth, Isaac and Raachel; one great-granddaughter Emily; two brothers: Ronald and Vernon; and numerous nieces and nephews. Thanks to all the doctors and nurses for the compassion and care while Merv was ill. No service by request.

He spent the last three years of his life happily sharing the road with the logging trucks that carefully watched for his red scooter. He was 84 years old. Art Dumaresq recalled Peter’s statue of The Little Mermaid

made famous by Hans Christian Anderson. It stood on the lawn of his home overlooking the lake. Art saw the red lace bra that Peter installed at the urging of Marion’s sister, and commented that perhaps she would be cold next winter. See PETER… page A30

Jason Ruscheinsky Cariboo Idol contestant Jason Ruscheinsky resides at Roe Lake and says he has been singing since he could talk. He adds his musical influences come from both sides of his family. “My dad taught me rhythm since day 1. My papa started teaching me guitar in Grade 8 and I also took guitar in school with Doug Steven. “I was brought up on Classic Rock, all the greats, but then was introduced to BB King and more recently Merle Haggard, George Strait and Garth Brooks.” Jason plays the guitar, drums and the mandolin. This is the sixth in a series of 10.

Sign erected at Forest Grove Store honours local athlete

FOREST GROVE AREA Marianne Van Osch 250-397-2625

grover@bcinternet.net

On July 9, a convoy of three fire trucks, two pumper trucks and a large contingent of firefighters made their way to the Forest Grove Store. On top of one truck was a sign honouring the athletic achievements of the Grove’s Richard Bergen. The sign was put in a prominent spot on the gable end of the store, through the generosity of owners John and Heather Shin. When Richard was seven years old, he was walking along a road in Chilliwack on his way to school when a car struck him, causing massive injuries to the right side of his body that left him with permanent disabilities. After six months of reconstructive operations and basic therapy, Richard’s parents, Bob and Edith Bergen, decided to bring their boy home and to begin the long process of teaching him to take care of himself. Their approach to his rehabilitation was unusual. It was strict, but effective. Richard returned to the farm chores he had done before the accident. He milked cows, cleaned the barn and worked in the fields. He also began to compete in riding events, such as barrel racing. Richard remembers how he struggled to tie his shoes. “My grandmother would cry and want to help me. She hated to see me trying so hard over and over.” When Richard

ly, his 10 cents was returned. Richard continues to grow a top-notch garden filled with several kinds of potatoes and other vegetables every year, which take him through the winter. In 1986, he bought a home in Forest Grove. Richard was determined to pay off his mortgage with hard work. In no time, he became “Mr. Forest Grove.” If there was a job to be done or if anyone needed help, he was always first on site. In the worst of weather, he would be working the hardest. Richard noticed advertising spots on TV

for BC Sportability and decided to join the program. Charles Griffith, a teacher in 100 Mile House offered to help him train in shot put, discus and javelin, sports that were well-suited to Richard’s strengths. In 1999, he competed in the BC Summer Games for Athletes with Disabilities. Richard brought home a gold medal in shot put and silver in the 100and 200-meter races. In 2001, he represented Canada in the World Games in Nottingham, England. He has continued his involvement in sports, helping to train students at local schools in track-andfield events. Richard works as a volunteer for every organization in the See GROVE… page B12

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

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

It’s not exactly the Louvre, but a walk

through Parkside Art Gallery during the coming weeks will bring the illusion of a stroll through a more famous gallery.

“Fakes and Forgeries” is the name of the new Cariboo Artists Guild Annual Show and Sale, which opened on July 20.

It features at least one Mona Lisa among the bunch of familiar classics. Contributing artists were given the task creating replicas of paintings done by notable artists of the past and among the mix are images made famous by da Vinci, Manet, van Gogh, John George Brown and members of the Group of Seven to name a few. Cariboo Artists Guild (CAG) member Kathy Crawshay says members of her group were surprised at how much they learned by copying works done by great painters. Thompson Rivers Faculty of Art instructor Marnie Blair was invited to the gallery to critique the paintings and she agrees there is great value

ments. Upon walking into the gallery for the first time, Blair says she immediately liked what she saw. “You have a lot of really talented artists here. I’ve seen some exciting, creative pieces.” Crawshay says the critique was productive and appreciated. “Everyone feels so good about it. It’s nice to get positive feedback on your art because artists often don’t appreciate what they’re doing enough. Marnie was like a breath of fresh air.” “Fakes and Forgeries” runs until Sept. 8 and gallery hours are Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation.

in this kind of exercise. “I think copying masters should be mandatory for all artists. They should all pick six to eight masters’ paintings a year and copy them. “It’s a way to learn about formal elements, matching colours and brushstrokes. It’s like you’re almost stealing all of their skills and bringing them together to form your own work.” Blair gave personal critiques on the work of 17 CAG artists who have each contributed one theme painting and up to four other pieces of their work to the show. She allotted 15 minutes to each artist, but the feedback was presented in a group setting and all of the artists were able to learn through her com-

Lone Butte residents enjoying summer

LONE BUTTE HORSE LAKE KAREN SCHUURMAN 250-644-1555

triumph750@bcwireless.com

Well summer is certainly in full swing and I hope you’ve all managed to stay cool through the recent heat wave. I am donning a pretty good freckle tan from some Prairie sunshine my family and I experienced in the early weeks of July. There is nothing like the “land of the living skies” on the Prairies where I spent my childhood. Community association Things are pretty quiet with the community association right now. Participants at the most recent meeting

did a bit of debriefing about the successful Lone Butte Rocks event and plans were discussed about some renovations and acoustic projects that are needed in the hall. On the Lone Butte Rocks note, I would just like to reiterate a huge thank-you to everyone who made the day happen, with special thanks to the Cariboo Regional District for its generous grant that allowed us to make the day a success.

Market slated There is a craft and flea market coming up on July 28, so be sure to come out and see what our local crafters and collectors have to share with you. The event gets underway at 9:30 a.m., with everyone packing up around 2:30 p.m. I’m sure organizer can probably squeeze a few more vendors in or outside the hall, so give Pat McKay a call to book yours now at 250-395-2114.

O.U.T. underway The local O.U.T. (Other Unusual Talents) is continuing to meet at the Lone Butte Community Hall throughout the summer on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, starting at 10 a.m. Bring your latest stitching or crafting project to work on or share with the other participants. If you have no project at the moment, stop by for coffee and a visit. New members are always welcome.

Summer is here, as Saskatoons are ready

CANIM LAKE PETER HART 250-397-2645

harts@netbistro.com

Dear Canimites: Sunny summer has settled in, with long hot days followed by refreshingly cool evenings, while the land remains unusually green due to providential rains, all of which have brought the first Saskatoons to readiness. High in the night sky above, the Summer Triangle reigns, cornered by the bright stars Vega (directly overhead), Deneb and Altair, alpha stars in the constellations Lyra, Cygnus and Aquila. Very early risers (about 3:15 a.m.) will see Venus and Jupiter rise brightly in the blue-black of the eastern sky. Hall #2 cleanup Members of Hall #1 took a break from their weekly training to join their colleagues at Hall #2 for an annual cleanup. Mowers, cutters and rakers got a good workout, while others cleared old debris from the site or tidied the interior of the fire hall and storage shed. The officers discussed plans for the completion of the hall’s interior. Hall #2 was raised by the community for the former Canim Lake Volunteer Fire Department on the May 2007 long-weekend in an old-time work bee. Subsequently, the service became part of the Cariboo Regional District tax-based Forest Grove VFD. The operations are fully integrated with all members training together and responding to assist each other as required. COPS The Canim Lake’s

Citizens on Patrol (COPS) group held its quarterly meeting recently. Capt. Margo Wagner reported that so far $1,100 has been received from local residents in response to the request for financial support that was mailed out. A big thank-you is sent from

the group for this support. Randomly-timed patrols are taking place frequently in our area. For more information, contact the RCMP in 100 Mile House at 250395-2456 or Margo at 250-397-0016. Bird news The black

terns

have returned to nest at the mouth of Bridge Creek from their wintering grounds on the northern coast of South America. We’re lucky to have these long haul travellers, as their numbers are in rapid decline across North America. One reason is they build their nests at the

water’s edge on floating piles of vegetation a few centimeters high, making them vulnerable to swamping by boat wakes. Please keep these vulnerable visitors in mind when boating See CANIM… page B8

Spice up your life at Garlic Festival Excitement is building for the 2012 South Cariboo Garlic Festival at the Felker Homestead at 118 Mile 9 (north of Lac la Hache). It takes place Aug. 25-26 with scores of vendor booths, topnotch entertainment and all the garlic you

can eat. Festival director Jeanette McCrea is expecting to see 3,000 visitors this year. A weekend pass is $5, and children 12 years and under are admitted free. Entertainment will be non-stop with singers, bands, dancers,

childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainers, and for the grown-ups, Elvis (tribute artist Steve Elliott). This year, audience members can watch the stage in shaded comfort. McCrea says the new addition of a cover over a dozen or so log tables in the adjacent picnic site

will make a nice difference. At noon on Sunday, there is the Master Garlic Chef Cook-off during which the recipe deemed the best will win $1,000 cash. People have until July 31 to enter their printed recipes for consideration and

women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully realize the dangers of setting us free in such a land of opportunity. Lunch will be at the Cariboo Lodge. Call Jean Reynolds at 250397-2773 for details. Organizers of this tour are looking into

the possibility of continuing on to Ashcroft for a museum and mine visit. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for now. Please keep me informed of your family events. Until next time, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishing you many blessings.

CANIMâ&#x20AC;Ś from page B6 near the bays at the Creek mouth. Our own robin, the one who built nine nests under the carport until it found the right view, raised a brood of three. They fledged on July 9, leaping with the abandon of teenagers into their new life. Within an hour, they had disappeared, releasing the space to the Chevy for another year. Caution advised The South Canim Road is sloughing toward the lake in several places. Interior Roads has marked these areas with cones, but the severity of the problem is increasing

as the days go by. Residents suspect it is caused by water under the roadbed. Watch for these spots, and also fallen boulders on the road at the quarry just west of the Howard Lake Rd. Calendar The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Browse Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour is on Aug. 7. People very much enjoyed this trip last year, as the museum is very interesting and there are antique stores with fascinating collections of old tools and artifacts.

Deka Lake Fishing Derby

ach year the Deka Lake Volunteer Fire Department holds a fishing derby the August long weekend. This year, the derby will take place on August 4th and 5th. The event is geared towards families. Diana Forster, one of the organizers of the annual event, says that there are three top prizes awarded for the largest rainbow trout, kokanee and lake trout. There are also many more prizes available, including the Don and Marion Traill Trophy for the largest lake trout. Forster says that the event usually runs from dawn to dusk on Saturday, and from dawn to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. Also worth noting is that each year there is breakfast and a BBQ. Check local information for further details on tickets and

weigh-in locations.

eka Lake is great for fishing rainbow, lake trout and kokanee, and is stocked with rainbow and kokanee. Julien Patenaude, local angler, offers some tips for fishing Deka Lake. He notes that kokanee prefer red, especially flourescent. He recommends a flourescent red Spratley, or a Kokanee Special. Patenaude suggests a size 7 or 8 Flatfish when going after lake trout, and that they can often be found at the big end of the lake. He says that “pretty much anything” will work for rainbow trout, and in particular a black Spratley.

With so many great lakes along the Fishing Highway, it is easy to spend a lot of time and not fish them all. Other great lakes in the area are Horse, Fawn, Watch and Green Lakes. As well, a short trip further east provides access to dozens more. Travel with some standard lures and flies that can work in many of these lakes, and you will be prepared wherever you drop a line. Metal, silver, and red and gold colour combinations are good to have on hand, and Doc Spratleys, Willow Leafs and Ford Fenders are good all-around producers.

eka Lake is east of 100 Mile House. Follow Horse Lake Road about 30 kilometres to Mahood Lake Road on the left (north) side. Four kilometres along this road is Burgess Road on the right (east). The firehall and derby site is located on the left about halfway to the lake.

6 EASY WAYS TO CONNECT Engineered Wood Products

In addition to making your yard more fire resistant, there are many things you can do to reduce the risk of wildfires destroying your house: • Use siding made out of stucco, stone, cement, metal or brick. If you have wood siding, you can have it treated with fire retardant compounds but it has to be maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • Avoid roofing materials like shake and wood shingles. The best materials are slate, metal, fiberglass, clay and fire resistant single-ply membrane. • Replace windows with dual or triple pane thermal glass. You can have your windows glazed with shatter resistant coating. • Add fire resistant shutters, awnings or drapes to your windows. • Cover attic vents, louvers or soffit vents with ¼ inch (or smaller) wire mesh in order to prevent embers from entering your home. • Try to avoid building overhangs like balconies or raised porches and decks. The space underneath these structures can trap fire and heat. Do not allow vegetation to grow underneath and do not store combustible materials. Hang ½ inch mesh screening material from the overhangs and ensure it goes down to the ground. • Build decks as close to the ground as possible and use fire-resistant material. • Use non-combustible patio furniture.

Solid Rock Café festival slated

108 RANCH REG BERRINGTON 250-791-9235 berringtonservices@shaw.ca

The Solid Rock Café is hosting an outdoor evening music festival on the Cariboo Christian

Life Fellowship Church grounds on Telqua Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch on July 27, starting at 6 p.m. Music genres vary from country, blue grass and gospel to pop, acoustic and rock. The entertainers headlining the festival include the Tanis Family Mountain Music Band from Nemiah Valley and our local Five Alive

Bluegrass Band. The Niki Watson/ Josslyn Ryan/ Kayla Gallaher Band, whose members were either former South Cariboo Idols or runners-up, are also performing. The cost is $5 per

person, as the organizers want to give some funds back to the bands for showing up. They also welcome everyone to the festival and hope people will come and check it out.

WALK… from page B10 with the help of Rob Fry and New Age Entertainment. The 2012 Cariboo Idol contestants, Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys and Ben Johnson are already in the performance lineup, and additional performers are yet to be confirmed.

bid on. She adds they are looking for more walkers, runners and entertainers to join in the event.
