Girl hero saves drowning boater Carole Rooney Free Press

A quick-thinking teenager saved a senior from a near drowning when she saw him floundering in a lake at a local resort, July 24. While another youth ran to get for help, Kristen

Morgan, 14, of Kamloops jumped into Sheridan Lake and rescued the man who was in trouble. Morgan says she and her friend Ezara Severn were camping at Sheridan Park Resort with family members when they saw Lorne Barber, 74, fall out of his boat.

“Me and my friend were ready to go on this big, blow-up boat and we saw him leaning off his boat. At first we thought he was just leaning to grab something ... but then the whole boat tipped.” She explains they were two docks away, so the girls ran over to the wharf

nearest the floundering boater and asked the man if he was OK. “He started yelling, ‘help me’, so I jumped in and my friend went to get help.” Morgan notes she waded out to assist him, See HERO… page 6

SHORT TA K E S Superintendent appointed School District #27 trustees have selected a new superintendent of schools. Mark Thiessen will begin his role on Sept. 1 when current superintendent Diane Wright retires. Currently a teacher at Cataline Elementary School, Thiessen first worked for the school district in 1985 as a summer student in the maintenance department. After he completed his degree in education, he rejoined SD27 a decade later and began his teaching career at Horsefly Elementary Junior Secondary School in 1995. By 2009, he was immersed in school administration at Likely Elementary School, and later at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary (vice-principal) and Williams Lake Secondary School (principal). SD27 chair Will Van Osch notes Thiessen also demonstrated “strong district leadership skills” serving as district principal from 2004 to 2007.

Carriage drivers get road signage ENTERTAINMENT Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Motor-vehicle drivers in the South Cariboo are accustomed to sharing the road with cyclists, motorcycles, deer and the occasional badger, but they’ll now have to make room for horse and buggies, too. With local interest in carriage driving on the rise, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has recently answered a request for road signage to warn drivers to be cautious of horse-drawn carriages on roadways. 100 Mile House MOTI area manager Michelle Schilling says signs were designed and installed after her office was contacted by a member of the local Cariboo Country Carriage Club (CCCC). Three signs went up in the Watch Lake and Green Lake areas and four have been installed in the 70 Mile House Subdivision. All of these areas are frequently used by carriage drivers. “We responded to the carriage drivers in this area the best we could.” Schilling says she worked with engineers in Victoria and sign designers to develop and get the signs approved, and she is quite certain they are currently the only

They are sitting under the new highway sign that Greenlees-Worsfold instigated and Schilling brought to fruition through the ministry. ones in B.C. The signs resemble those used in the United States, but while the American sign has the driver wearing a top hat. The B.C. version features a helmet on the head of the driver. CCCC member Ken Huber says carriage-driving horses need a lot of training before competing in marathons and roadways are good places to practice.

“We all might be going back to horse and buggies if the price of fuel keeps going up.” Karyn GreenleesWorsfold of Green Lake instigated the signs and notes that prior to the ministry coming on board, the only thing warning motorists of carriages on the road was a little sign outside her property that she bought from a carriage shop. “It gave people an idea

that we were here, but we’re really thrilled with the new signs.” She says local people have become accustomed to seeing carriages on the road and are respectful, but tourists can be a problem. G re e n l e e s - Wo r s f o l d adds vehicles travelling toward a carriage should approach slowly so they do not spook the horses. “Carriages are classified

as slow-moving vehicles and they have a right to the road. People have to approach us slowly and wait for either a signal from us to pass or pass slowly. If there’s a safe place to pull over, we will do that and let you pass.” Since the signs were put up, Greenlees-Worsfold says she has noticed a difference in motorists’ attitudes, but people still have to be educated.

Council considers paring back permits Carole Rooney Free Press

District of 100 Mile House council is considering expanding the allowable exemptions to have development permits (DP) include projects that will cost under $10,000 to complete. Council met on July 25 and heard district planner Joanne Doddridge present some options staff had prepared to simplify the process for minor projects. Mayor Mitch Campsall was absent due to his summer vacation, so acting mayor Ralph Fossum and council discussed the possibilities and asked pertinent questions. Doddridge said the proposed changes would reduce the num-

ber of DPs the district processes, as well as shortening the wait time for those requesting approvals and saving them a $200 permit fee. Currently, DPs can take weeks or even months to work through the system, as they make it onto council agendas to pursue and obtain approvals. The options included potentially allowing staff approvals for minor DPs, or exempting some minor projects under an agreedupon maximum project cost. Coun. Bill Hadden said he favoured exempting qualifying projects up to $10,000, as that amount today “gets very little done.” After a discussion of the options, council initially favoured

setting the limit at $10,000, with a less cumbersome, but still adequate, application process and paper trail for staff to confirm all criteria are met and provide written approval. Both options would see each applicant allowed only one exemption within a two-year period. Based on previous council direction to staff, Doddridge noted all exemptions would also exclude environmentally sensitive DP areas, structural modifications, demolition, excavation and internal traffic modifications. Council also discussed increasing fees for larger projects, and Doddridge noted the district virtually never recovers its administration costs from the current

$200 DP fee. Discussions included a possibility to put these fees on a sliding scale as a per cent of the development or renovation, but council requested staff to gather more information on what other communities charge before proceeding further. Coun. Dave Mingo said this fee might need to be capped at a certain level, and considerations should also take into account other, normally higher fees that apply to the same projects, such as for zoning changes. Other housekeeping changes and clarifications to subdivision verbiage were also discussed, and a revised package will be prepared by staff for council to review at a future meeting.

Barnett ponders Enbridge pipelines Carole Rooney Free Press

The Ministry of Environment recently outlined five minimum requirements that must be met before it will consider allowing Enbridge oil pipelines to migrate to British Columbia. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says they are “responsible actions” of her government.

“I’ve never seen anything as stringent as what is in those five requirements.” Numerous groups are voicing strong concerns about the environmental hazards of pipeline spills, especially to B.C.’s waterways, and she agrees there is due cause for apprehension. “We should all be concerned. We all know what can happen if there’s an oil

ENBRIDGE… from page 1 “extremely strong and building” First Nations opposition to the pipelines. Says FNS political executive Dan Smith: “B.C. First Nations opposition is a result of deep and real concerns about the devastating impacts an oil spill would have should the pipelines be approved.” The B.C. Greens also oppose the Northern Gateway project, according to Green party leader Jane Sterk, who says the pipeline and the accompanying tanker traffic along B.C.’s “wild and fragile coast” cannot be justified under any circumstance. However, BC Conservative Leader John Cummins says completing the environmental process and including a benefit-sharing structure to compensate the province would be included in his party’s plan. Spencer explains the whole country should be scaling down production in the tar sands, and instead supporting development of renewable energy to boost jobs and the economy. “Many climate scientists, such as James Hansen from NASA, are warning that if Canada liquidates the tar sands as planned, ‘it will be game over for the climate’.” The technical analysis document for these requirements can be downloaded at www. env.gov.bc.ca/main/docs/2012/Technical Analysis-HeavyOilPipeline_120723.pdf.

‘Canadian unity’ has got to be fair and equitable for all. The obligation of the government of [B.C] is to look after British Columbians, as well as being a player in the national scene....” Barnett notes Alberta could not have the same appreciation for environmental and scenic aspects they simply don’t have, such as B.C.’s beautiful coastline and its fragile and special environment. Full engagement of First Nations needs to be satisfied and many other aspects in the province protected, the MLA adds, with the social, environmental and economics of the pipeline project taken into consideration at once. “You have to do what is right at the end of the day. You can’t carte blanche say ‘yes’ to something when the concerns of the people of the province haven’t been addressed.”

Presenters list: timber supply committee slights local First Nations Free Press

Canim Lake Band representatives expressed dismay to the Special Committee on Timber Supply at its lack of formal invitation for them speak at the July 5 public hearing in 100 Mile House. The local First Nations band eventually got on the hearing agenda to address the committee once this had been noted. However, before Canim Lake Band (CLB) Chief Mike Archie, band member Don Dixon and forester John Kalmakoff provided their input on managing timber supply, Dixon pointed out the omission. “Currently, the Canim Lake Band ... we feel is being treated as less than stakeholders, not as an Aboriginal people, and we are in a treaty process here with unresolved Aboriginal rights. “We feel there are other groups that were invited to present to this special committee here, and that we were not.” The mid-term timber supply report appears to be one of the key inputs for consideration by both the Special Committee on Timber Supply and the public, he added. The CLB is “heavily invested” with the local forest industry in the 100 Mile House TSA, Dixon explained, with its members working at the local sawmill, as well as in trucking, logging and silviculture. “Forestry is one of the main economic drivers for our community at the Canim Lake Band.” Among its various investments in forestry in the 100 Mile TSA, Dixon noted the band also owns a logging company, as well as a forest manage-

Chief Mike Archie ment company that manages 22,000 cubic metres (m3) of annual allowable cut [AAC]. Dixon added the band wants to expand its stake and feels it requires a licence for about 100,000 m3 a year. However, he said the band believes the current AAC is unsustainable and it must be cut back “immediately.” Beyond the supply of pine-beetle wood, any “accelerated” cuts will further erode the watersheds, water quality, fish habitat and wildlife populations, Dixon added. “The Canim Lake Band requires full consultation on any changes to the [AAC] and on the final timber supply analysis for all districts that overlap our traditional territory, not only in the 100 Mile TSA, but our territory that expands

beyond that. “To date, we have not been fully consulted on this matter.” Chief Archie expressed gratitude to the committee, however, for scheduling a time slot for the band to address it during the four-hour local meeting. “I really appreciate the opportunity to come and express our concerns and try to move the process forward.” Nevertheless, he remarked on his “disappointment” in the lack of inclusion by the province in its allocations to timber licensees.

“With harvesting timber, the biggest challenge we have is being [included] within the harvesting practice in the TSAs.... “It’s really disheartening to say the least that ... [the province has] this rich resource of forestry and my community has to battle in order to get a little sliver in what’s rightfully and traditionally something that we benefit from.” He added much of the Cariboo is traditional territory for his people, who have hunted and fished there “since time

“A New Way To Listen To Radio”

caribooradio.com

Do you remember the ads? “Freedom 55” they shouted! You too can retire at age 55! That was the dream. Unfortunately, not all of our dreams come true – and, in fact, not everyone shares that dream. Some people don’t want to retire at age 55 – or ever. Some people can’t afford to retire – ever. Not too many years ago, most Canadians faced compulsory retirement at age 65. That was the norm. Many people looked forward to it. Then things changed. Maybe it was part of the “greying” of our modern world. In British Columbia, the legislation embodying this change came into effect on January 1, 2008. Since that date, with very limited exceptions, employers are not entitled to impose mandatory retirement dates based on age. The end of mandatory retirement moves us into an era where age discrimination is no longer permitted – and where the “system” has tools available to help those who believe they have been the victims of such discrimination. People claiming to have been victimized in this way have already started to Àle complaints with the BC Human Rights Tribunal – and, as always happens, some of those complaints have been upheld and others dismissed. Other victims of age discrimination have gone to the Courts to sue for wrongful dismissal. The fact of the matter is, of course, that, for some people, abilities do decline with age – but the decline may start long before age 65 or many years thereafter. Employers used to be able to look at problem employees and say to themselves: Well, we’ll just hang on until they retire. That possibility is no longer available. Under the “new” regime, older employees must be treated the same as all others: they can only be dismissed after being given an appropriate notice period (which can be many years for long-term employees) or for cause – and lawyers will tell you that it is not always easy to prove that just cause exists for dismissing an employee. In the current context of employment law, you can choose to be “free” at age 55 – but you can also choose to defer your freedom – even past age 65. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E.

He just overbalanced and over he went.” Townsend notes the boater wasn’t wearing a lifejacket and was “more or less on his tiptoes” trying to keep his head out of the water. The IVFD response time was “really quick” because it was practice night at its nearby west fire hall, Townsend says, adding initial members arriving to a reported “near drowning” callout were relieved to see Morgan already had Barber on the shore. “It was a brave decision of hers, for a young girl to go out and assist [a man much bigger] in coming to shore.” The four IVFD first responders stayed more than half an hour to assist while BC Ambulance personnel checked the man over, and Townsend notes he was “doing fine,” so they decided to leave his campsite and go home. “He told me he has

Executive pay raises eyebrows and concerns Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse has voiced his concerns about the B.C. Liberal government’s failure to eliminate pay increases to Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) executives. After the end of the fiscal year, executives will have the former “incentive pay” bonuses rolled into their base salaries to be spread over the next three years. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux wrote in a guest editorial in the 100 Mile House Free Press (July 11 edition, page A8) that the government needed to make this change without ripping up employment contracts, potentially resulting in lawsuits. She was responding to a guest editorial by NDP critic for CLBC, Nicholas Simons (page A8 of the July 4 Free Press), who noted that when the New Democrats asked earlier about the chance these would get rolled into salaries, Cadieux had been adamant they

Often unable to speak up for themselves, he added there is vulnerability in individuals receiving care for developmental disabilities, and they consequently become more dependent on having expert opinions to identify system shortfalls. “Until you have an impartial external review done, who knows where all the inadequacies are? We do know the families that are looking for the support for their children constantly point out the inadequate support that is there.” The advocates that are close to these situations make, and back up, these same points, Wyse explained. However, he added finding the funding for these services is also an issue of priority. “If the government has money for bonus-

remier Christy Clark and her B.C. Liberal government are caught between a rock and hard place on the Enbridge oil pipeline, and it could cost them their seats on the government side of the house next May. The premier desperately needs the jobs and revenue (whatever it will be) that would be gained by allowing the pipeline to go through British Columbia. With the forest industry running out of time and timber supply and a revved-up mining industry still in the approval-process stages, Clark needs the gains the pipeline construction and revenue could provide. To even stand the slimmest chance of becoming the elected premier of the province, she has to fulfill the “jobs, jobs, jobs and family first” promises she made during her coronation after winning the BC Liberal Party leadership. Time is not her ally here. Some political pundits say last week’s tilt with the Alberta Premier Alison Redford and refusing to sign off on the National Energy Strategy at the Confederation meeting is an attempt to boost her personal, and the party’s, numbers in the polls. Talking tough will help her popularity briefly, but in the end, she isn’t going to make the controversy go away. There is far too much opposition to pumping bitumen through the wilds of B.C. and then transporting it by tankers down the West Coast of our province. There are basic facts that cannot be ignored: Enbridge admits spills are inevitable; the pipeline would go through terrain that is remote and not easily accessed; and bitumen is toxic and all but impossible to clean up. For all intents and purposes, the pipeline would be a ticking bomb. The horrors of the doomed tanker Exxon Valdez and its massive crude oil spill are a vivid memory that coastal inhabitants and environmentalist are not likely to allow to happen without digging in their heels for the long haul. On top of all of that opposition, the First Nations people across the province are telling the provincial and federal governments to come to their senses and not threaten their traditional lands. To survive, Clark must put some real teeth in the five principles for the pipeline proposal that she released last week, and she must receive a mandate from the electorate before allowing the pipeline to go ahead.

Business paying too much in taxes How would you feel if you were paying two, three, four, even five times as much property tax as your next-door neighbour, and yet not getting the same amount of services? That’s the reality facing small business owners in British Columbia every day. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) recently released its 2012 Municipal Property Tax Gap Report, finding that B.C. small businesses pay an average 2.78 times the residential tax rate for properties of equal value. Small business accounts for 98 per cent of all B.C. business, providing more than half of all private sector jobs and generating one- third of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2009/10, small business created 14,000 net new jobs, or around 36 per cent of all jobs created. This year’s report shows progress toward achieving property tax fairness has essentially flat-lined. On the one hand, this is good news – the trend of increasing the unfair tax burden on small businesses is unsustainable. On the other hand, the failure to achieve any meaningful reduction in the gap is irresponsible and harmful. This lack of political willpower

SHACHI KURL

GUEST SHOT continues to cost not just small business owners, their families and employees, but also the economic health of our province. A recent CFIB survey found that 69 per cent of our members ranked their municipal property tax as the tax most harmful to their business, and this had grown from 38 per cent six years ago. Municipal governments rely on property taxes for funding, so increased spending requires higher property taxes. Business always pays a higher rate than residents, making them especially vulnerable to the impact of excess spending. Property taxes must be paid regardless of whether a business makes a penny in profit. Their property tax bill can be the difference between a business thriving, surviving or dying. In any case, it is not money being used for job creation, expansion or innovation. Some municipal leaders are on the record questioning the measure by which The CFIB ranks property tax fairness - the gap. However, they are in the minority. While politicians may slice and

dice numbers to their advantage when trying to show progress on this file, the property tax gap remains the only consistent way to measure and compare tax fairness in B.C. In 100 Mile House, the CFIB found the municipal tax gap fell slightly in the last year to 2.14 from 2.29, and is under the provincial average. While this relative progress deserves to be recognized, this gap of more than two to one represents a real burden on local businesses, and on the regional economy. This matters for your families and communities. That’s why it’s important, and that’s why all of us should care. And that’s why the CFIB will continue to speak out for a sustained commitment to greater tax fairness. This will require more action, more progress in narrowing the property tax gap, and a greater effort to reduce municipal operating spending. Small business owners are the lifeblood of the provincial economy. They deserve to be treated fairly. Healthy communities depend on it.

OPINION

E NTERTAINMENT EI reforms not

Letters to the editor

a skills and labour strategy To the editor: The federal Conservative government claims it is making fundamental changes to Employment Insurance to deal with “unprecedented” shortages in skilled labour, especially in the West. However, these reforms do nothing to help the 154,000 unemployed British Columbians develop the skills and get the training they need to fill those shortages. Instead, the government’s strategy appears to be to force seasonal workers from rural Canada to move, separating them from their families and emptying their communities. The changes will also force the unemployed to accept work, at up to a 30 per cent pay cut, or else they will lose their EI benefits. Under this system, employers will be stuck with employees who don’t want to be there and plan to leave as soon as they can. It’s hardly a recipe for positive workplace moral or productivity. All of which is not to say the current system is perfect - it does need improvements. In

fact, some of the current changes are positive, such as extending the “working while on claim” pilot and making the “best 14 weeks” program permanent. Both of those pilot projects were created by Liberals more than five years ago, to test new, innovative reforms to the EI system. We took a progressive and considered approach to changing the system. Unfortunately, the current government has created policy on the fly, with no consultation, based on a belief that EI claimants – especially seasonal workers in Atlantic Canada – are lazy and need to be forced to work using penalizing measures. As Liberals, we believe in helping people to find work through investing in skills upgrading and retraining, and not forcing people to work lower-skilled jobs for less money. The government should be narrowing the rural-urban divide, not expanding it. Rodger Cuzner, M.P. Liberal critic for Human Resources & Skills Development

Not in favour of electoral boundary changes To the editor: I am writing in regard to the proposed federal electoral boundary changes. What nitwit in Ottawa devised this brilliant scheme? As you state in your editorial, the suggestion to lump the South Cariboo in with Chilliwack and Abbotsford is truly ludicrous. The issues of the residents of the South Cariboo — a rural community — are vastly different from those of the urban areas of the lower Fraser Valley. There are vastly different economic, geographic and cultural — just to name a few. Stop this silliness now! Gordon Kellett Canim Lake

Reader not sure about LNG push To the editor: Liquid natural gas (LNG) is seen by some as a major economic boon for British Columbia in the future. I’m not so sure. B.C. has ample reserves of natural gas up north. LNG is liquefied, so it can be exported by tanker ship. Prices for LNG in Asia are now higher than in North America. Producing LNG requires huge amounts of electricity. Right now, BC Hydro has plenty of power, due to high reservoir levels. That’s not always the case. New sources of electricity, such as proposed Site C and run-of-river projects, are very expensive for BC Hydro. If built, Site C will cost BC Hydro an estimated $8 billion and it will flood farmland. The higher price for LNG in Asia now is not assured in the future. Countries around the world appear to be ramping up LNG production, so the price may come down. Large industries in B.C.,

which I assume would include LNG plants, receive power from BC Hydro at a low rate. This rate is lower than the cost of new power to BC Hydro, which is owned by the province. LNG plants would be getting cheap, subsidized

power to export LNG into an uncertain market. Jobs in B.C. would be minimal, once the plants and pipelines are built. LNG flies in the face of current laws in B.C., requiring us to reduce our carbon output into the air.

Why use our precious renewable hydro power to produce CO2-emitting LNG? How will we heat our homes in B.C., once our natural gas is gone? Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

Energy development must be diversified To the editor: The provincial government is banking heavily on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Asia, and there are definitely good reasons why this is a good strategy economically as well as environmentally. However, our American neighbours have discovered they, too, have an abundance of natural gas, and according to one report, the United States could end up exporting as much as one-fifth of its natural gas resources to Asia. The Asian market is an obvious one for any LNG supplier to go after owing to the fact that natural gas sells for almost five times the North American price in Asia. However, if the global market gets flooded with LNG, it could cause a price collapse and render econom-

ic development strategies based on LNG less profitable than currently envisioned. This is the essence of supply-and-demand. I would, therefore, suggest the province not put all its eggs in one basket. In addition to developing an LNG export industry, the provincial government should also be developing the renewable energy resources British Columbia has in unusual abundance. Due to the fortuitous confluence of climate and geography, B.C. has renewable energy resources like nowhere else in North America. It’s a unique advantage we have over other jurisdictions and one we should be leveraging as much as possible. Donald Leung Burnaby

McLeod turns her back on science To the editor: Last month scientists from all across Canada held a funeral march on Parliament Hill for the “death of evidence.” They were protesting how KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod and her Conservative government are ignoring evidence in policy-making, cutting off funding to vital research and preventing government scientists from presenting evidence to the public. This normally reserved group was moved to noisy protest by a set of decisions of the Conservative government that shows disregard for the hard work our scientists do to generate knowledge for the benefit of Canadians. The Conservatives are eliminating the Experimental Lakes Area, which we have used for

40 years to protect us from poisons in our water. They killed the mandatory long-form census, depriving us of a clear picture and understanding of the circumstances that Canadians face in their daily lives. Scores of federal scientists will no longer be

monitoring and reporting to us about the environment that our children and grandchildren will have to live in. I believe that to make good decisions you need good data. Yet Mrs. McLeod and the Conservatives are eroding that data, bit by bit.

It leaves our government flying blind and dangerously illequipped to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Ted Hsu, MP Science and Technology critic Liberal Party of Canada

Yearning for the good old days To the editor: Earlier this year, Premier Christy Clark hid behind a lame excuse for not being able to attend the western premiers meeting on energy development. That would have been the ideal forum for expressing British Columbia’s concerns and conditions regarding Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline. Recently the devastating report on Enbridge’s ineptitude in handling their massive Kalamazoo River oil spill became a hot news topic. Clark must have been urged by her handlers to talk tough to try and impress British Columbian voters. As a result of her soapbox-like rant,

Clark has been berated by Alberta’s Conservative Premier Alison Redford. Undoubtedly, Redford is not the sort of person who suffers fools gladly. A successful premier needs to have a well thought out ethical vision, as well as the leadership and communicative skills to rally supporters. Clark must long for the good old days when she was a relatively popular radio talk show host. She could shoot from the lip on any topic and then flip a switch to turn off those callers who criticized her for not knowing what she was talking about. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Using heat therapy for sore joints can be very soothing and effective. The length of time heat should be applied is 20-30 minutes per session. Heat is helpful in reducing muscle spasms and arthritic back and neck pain. Heat shouldn’t be used on a new injury, open wounds or infections or swollen or inﬂamed areas. Since 20% of Canadians’ weekly food intake comes from restaurant meals there is a move to have more nutritional information available on menus or for the asking. Since some meals are high in calories and sodium and since hypertension and obesity are real health problems in Canada, this information may help people make better choices when eating out. Zinc oxide gives the best protection against both UVA and UVB light rays that can damage the skin. A 20% zinc oxide paste provides this protection but it is visible after application and not too acceptable to many people.

Barnett says she will remain under the banner of the BC Liberal Party, and is “firm” on this point, despite media reports implying otherwise recently aired on radio.

her constituency. “People have come into this office and we’ve solved many long-outstanding issues. Do we solve them all? No. Do we turn anybody away? No.” Looking ahead to what she hopes to accomplish if she is re-elected next May, Barnett says something she “won’t give up on but hasn’t gotten very far on” is the need for a local abattoir to serve the South Cariboo agriculture community. “I’ve been successful in obtaining a few things for them, some fencing programs and predator control programs, but there’s much, much more that needs to be done for the agriculture industry.” Barnett adds she hopes to further support the Interior’s pine beetle coalitions. Asked about the level of importance the Enbridge

Northern Gateway pipeline project might have on the B.C. Liberal’s election platform, she says the issues involved go beyond politics. “I hope they are not an election issue. Those are very sensitive issues that basically deal with the environment first, First Nations issues, and the social and economic well-being of the province.... “I’m sure that the Opposition will make it an election issue, and I think it’s an issue that affects British Columbia the most, but affects all of Canada, the bottom line of the Canadian budget.” Meanwhile, Barnett says the best part of her public service job is working with the people in her constituency. “I don’t care if you’re mad, happy or whatever; my doors are open and I listen to everybody.”

Thank you to everyone who attended the memorial gathering for Peter Kristensen on July 14. It was a beautiful day and a very meaningful time for everyone. A special thank you to Marianne Van Osch, Wayne Venos, Grace Buse, Art Dumaresq and Margo Wagner for their sharing of some very special memories and funny stories. We also wish to thank two of Peter’s long time friends, Patty Wong of Merritt and Ava Chang of Vancouver, for making a special effort to be with us. We are deeply appreciative to Margo Wagner and the members of the Canim Lake Community Club for providing the delicious baked goods and the tables; Grace Buse for her special raisin pies (Peter’s favourite); Garth and Janet Lily for the use of their boat to scatter Peter’s ashes; Anne Johansen for supplying the dishes, utensils, and bedding, which allowed Ingelise and her friend, Anita Larson, to stay in the house; and Eric Klassen and Sheila Nelson for getting the grounds ready. On a more personal note - thanks to everyone for their concern for Ingelise when she had a medical problem after the memorial and to Eric Klassen and Sheila Nelson for getting her to Vancouver for her flight home. God Bless you all. Ingelise Rasmussen and Gordon Kellett

The B.C. Float Plane Association (BCFPA) held a successful annual general meeting at 108 Mile Ranch for the first time, July 20-22. A miscommunication on the part of the 100 Mile House Free Press led to an article published on page A5 of the July 25 edition that stated the AGM was cancelled. It was only the water egress workshop that had been cancelled. However, organizer Willy Trinker says the weekend was a “great success” and well attended. He estimates 60-70 people turned out along with 10 float planes, which landed on Watson Lake, and 13 amphibious aircraft (including one helicopter), which landed at the South Cariboo Regional Airport. Float plane arrivals were shuttled from Watson Lake to the main events, Trinker says. He thanks Ron Soeder and Al Richmond for making the float plane base available, and to all the volunteers, including those from the 100 Mile House Flying Club, which hosted the event. While thunderstorms rolled in Friday just as planes were arriving, attending pilots successfully worked around the weather and enjoyed the workshops, entertainment, dinner and AGM at the 108 Mile Golf Resort, he adds. However, the poker run to various fly-in resorts was cancelled due to the poor weather. “People really enjoyed coming here and being looked after as well as we were,” Tinker says. He notes the club had “good feedback” and the after-dinner dance

What can I do to prevent mold in my house? It is normal to ﬁnd mold spores in the home. Most of the time mold spores found indoors are from outside sources. Regular household cleaning helps keep mold levels low. What you need to be more concerned about is when your house has a largescale active mold growth. Such problems most likely happen if there is leakage of water, on-going ﬂooding, or high levels of humidity in the home.

Total Living Area: 1546 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

Indoor mold growth can lead to high levels of air fungal spores, which, in turn, could trigger the spread of mold growth from the original source. Extensive mold growth will damage the house and furnishings as well as the structural elements of your home.

SGLVFD hosting its Community Day Aug. 4

By Susan McKie The South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGKVFD) will be holding its Community Day on Aug. 4. The fun will start at 8 a.m. for those energetic workout enthusiasts, who would like to complete an organized run behind one of the fire trucks. Events continue at 10 a.m., with the volunteer firefighters inviting folks to participate in some other events organized by Sandy Jamieson. All events costing a donation of a toonie. The Community Day will also be an opportunity to see the new fire hall, climb on the fire trucks and test out the water pumpers. We recently purchased a “newer” fire truck, which will also be on display. There will be smokies, hotdogs, ice cream and pop. All food items will be “by donation,” with all proceeds going towards the SGLVFD Building Fund. Our fire hall is 95 per cent completed and we are in the process of outfitting our new fire truck.

SUMMER

Safety

Get your vehicle ready for an epic summer road trip By Paul Wells (NC)—The sun is shining, there isn’t a cloud in the sky - it’s a perfect day to begin your summer road trip. The car is packed and you even managed to shut the trunk without having to rearrange the contents, the kids have their seat belts buckled and are ready to go. But is your car ready for the trip? A little preparation will save a lot of aggravation, stress, money and time down the road. According to a recent Canadian survey conducted by Leger Marketing, 90% of mechanics surveyed cite that the biggest mistake they see vehicle owners make is waiting until something goes wrong before they bring their vehicles in for servicing. Stay ahead of the curve and schedule a full service check-up two weeks prior to hitting the road, including a tune-up and fluid top-off. With 87% of mechanics surveyed agreeing that there is a difference between high and low quality gasolines, even selecting the right fuel on your pit stops can have an impact on your vehicle’s engine. “Low-quality gasolines can cause build-up of performance-robbing gunk on critical engine parts which can make your engine less-efficient over time,” explains Jim Macias, a Fuels Technology Manager

at Shell. In a way, cars are a lot like living organisms and require proper fluid top ups in order to function properly. Just as you would never set out to run a marathon without hydrating, your vehicle should not be taken on a road trip without first checking that you have the proper amount of engine oil, transmission and brake fluid, coolants, and windshield washing fluids as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer guide. And speaking of guides, be sure to chart out your destination to ensure you don’t end up stranded on a highway with your tank on “E” not knowing where to go. Thanks to smartphones and Google maps, it’s never been easier to plan your route. Apps are available for your iPhone or Android which allows users to calculate their routes and estimate the cost of their journey, schedule vehicle maintenance alerts, and find the nearest service stations so you can fill up with ease once you’re out on the road. So plan ahead to be sure that on that picture perfect day when the highway beckons you to take an adventure, you’re ready to pack up the car and go! www.newscanada.com

The housekeeping staff at 100 Mile District General Hospital is floating on cloud 9 since receiving a new battery-powered ride-on floor scrubber from the South Cariboo Health Foundation. The piece of equipment, valued at $15,000, was on the hospital wish list, says foundation public relations and fundraising co-ordinator M-J Cousins. “It’s more efficient and does a really good job. The hospital has a bigger one, but this is more maneuverable and gets into smaller spaces.” Acting housekeeping supervisor Barb Matfin says the big advantage is to the health of her staff. “It helps prevent musculoskeletal injury that can be associated with maintaining floors with other types of equipment. It’s safer, too, because it doesn’t leave as much water

called a Taski Swingo floor scrubber, but Matfin notes hos-

pital staff refer to it affectionately as the “chariot pumpkin.”

Festival of Arts organizing Kamloops concert tour 100 Mile Festival of the Arts is organizing a classical concert tour to Kamloops, so people can enjoy a symphony concert at a discount price. The Kamloops S y m p h o n y Orchestra plays at the Sagebrush Theatre in Kamloops on Sept. 29, starting at 7:30 p.m. Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor” and Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 “Tragic” will be on the program. Festival of the Arts successfully

put together a similar tour last year and concert organizer Anthony Lau would like to see it happen again. “Listening to a live performance of a symphony is a memorable and thrilling experience, especially for young music students.” At the age of 14, Lau adds, he was moved to tears when he heard a full orchestra perform. Those who are interested in attending the concert can contact Lau via e-mail at anthony lau85@hotmail.com.

Canim Falls mural: number 11 Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

SALE

Super Summer

Clearance

Some call it Canim Falls, and to others, it’s Canim-Mahood Falls, but whatever the name, the twin falls that lie between Canim and Mahood lakes are a spectacular sight and the subject of the newest mural produced by the 100 Mile House Mural Society. Painted by Williams Lake artist Dwayne Davis in early July, the large four- by 11-metre image captures the power and beauty of this popular landmark. It’s located on the west side of Birch Avenue, near Fourth Street and is around the corner from the other mural scenes that reflect the Canim Lake community. Mural society vice-

president Donna Nivison says it ties in nicely with the theme while being such a recognizable and well-visited site. “The falls are really a visual highlight of the area that’s enjoyed by many.” The mural is definitely an eye catcher as people wind their way down Birch Avenue and Nivison says she hopes it will help people connect with other murals in the downtown area. “People say it looks like water is just tumbling out of there and it brings a little bit of Canim Falls to 100 Mile House. I’m hoping people will look at it and go see some of the other murals.” Canim Falls is the 11th mural to be completed by the society. The first ones were

painted simultaneously in 2006, with one depicting the life of South Cariboo pioneer Edward Higgins and the other tells the story of John and Oliver Jeffereys who drove thousands of head of long-horn cattle from Arkansas to the Cariboo and then operated the 100 Mile Roadhouse. Nivison says the Canim mural cost several thousand dollars, and as with all murals, the price tag reflects the degree of detail, size, cost of supplies, texture of the painting surface and the artist’s fee. A number of cash donations from businesses and private individuals funded the mural, but Nivison says there is still $700 outstanding. The society maintains a donation can, which makes its rounds

among different businesses. It will be located at Colette’s Barbershop until Aug. 31. The society can provide additional cans upon request. Anyone who would like to make a donation can call Nivison at 250-791-6497 or Ruth Peterson at 250-3954881. Donations can also be mailed to 100 Mile House Mural Society, 6221 Aalton Rd., 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E3. It takes several years to bring a mural from the idea stage to completion, Nivison says, adding the society has a few irons in the fire for future murals. For more on the murals, visit the society website at www.100milemurals.

The construction of the Low Mobility Trail from Sepa Lake to the 108 Heritage Site has been completed. Approximately two kilometres of trail was upgraded with about 300 metres of new trail being constructed to realign the current trail from the 108 Resort Golf Course. Green Belt commissioner Robin Nadin advises the work proceeded according to plan and a number of areas were reconfigured to allow easier access to the trail for low-mobility users. The trail is being finished with a layer of crushed fines (gravel) three inches deep and six feet wide.

The reflective signs are eight inches high and 16 inches wide and are made out of aluminum and cost $15 for a single side and $25:00 for a double-sided one.

To order a new sign, contact Pam Hales at 250-791-5656. The closing date for ordering the signs is Sept. 12. Remember if emergency services cannot find you, they cannot help you. Vandalism It seems that at this time of year, vandalism starts up again with school being out and having an influx of more people in the 108. This time, the vandalism started around the north end of

Glionnzun Drive and continued towards the 108 Heritage Site along Kitwanga Drive. The vandals used paint ball guns pelting houses and any other surface they could find. It must be noted that if the paint is not removed right away, it becomes very difficult to remove. One wonders about the thinking that goes along with this type of vandalism.

Ratepayers’ association needs volunteers

DEKA DISTRICT DIANA FORSTER 250-593-2155

Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ A s s o c i a t i o n (DLDRA,) which celebrated its 25th anniversary on July 19, has changed its annual general meeting to 10 a.m. on Aug. 18 at Deka Fire Hall. It is hoped this change will encourage more people to attend and volunteer their services. The DLDRA is very short of directors and may disband if more people do not step forward. A resolution will suggest that meetings be held a minimum of four times a year rather than every month, as the digital age allows for speedy consensus.

Annual memberships, which cost $7 each or $10 per couple residing together, will be accepted before the meeting at 9:30 a.m. In order to vote, residents must be members. Mailing addresses There is a possibility that Interlakes mailing addresses could be changed from Lone Butte to whichever lake we live at - Bridge, Deka or Fawn lakes, etc. Who knows what would happen to addresses that are not attached to a lake, such as Judson Road; perhaps they’d choose between Deka and Sheridan lakes. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area L Director Bruce Rattray is gathering opinions and information on this subject. All Interlakes residents live within the CRD’s Area L. Contact brattray@ cariboord.bc.ca or call 250-593-9359 to make your opinion known.

Guest artist Erin Meyer is the guest artiste in Bridge Lake Library’s Community Showcase for August. It’s not the best of timing as Erin will marry Spencer Dill on Aug. 4, and they’ve just bought a house. “It’s really crazy, but I’m really looking forward to doing the display.” Her main subject is photography, which portrays mostly nature and landscapes, but she’s also been doing acrylic nature painting for several years. “I really love it. I’m not trained, but just really enjoy it.” Erin and a friend took up stained glass work last year. Again, they are self-taught, and “thought it would be fun to try it.” All three mediums will be included in her display. The Interlakes community wishes Erin much health and happiness in her new married life.

Guest speaker At 7 p.m., Aug. 8, the Friends of Bridge Lake’s Summer Speaker Series will host falconer Chris Foster who will speaking on “Raptors, Big and Small.” Everyone is welcome.

Poison Control is available through 9-1-1 to assist with pet poisonings. Roads maintained Residents are thankful for the grading and applications of dust control to the local roads in midJuly. Smoother roads make for better cycling and decrease

the noise from empty boat trailers travelling to and from the boat launch. The dust blown around from those few days of dry weather was making hanging laundry out on the clothesline a bit of a challenge. Flowers Sweet-smelling clover has replaced the dandelions as the predominant flowering weed in lawns and seems to be a more acceptable sight to landowners. Wild and domestic flowers are bountiful and thriving in the

warm and wet soil found in the yards around the lake. Bog orchids, one of the more fragrant wild flowers, can be found along the forest roads and trails where water pools and in some of the wetter areas close to the lake.

After several extremely dry summers in the past decade, the unmistakable drone of fire response aircraft often stirs up strong emotions. Such was the case for several residents on July 12 when a lightning storm, travelling through the North Thompson River Valley, ignited a forest fire on a hill at the east end of Lac des Roches. Several reports of the smoke and flames prompted the immediate response by a spotter plane, followed shortly after by two bombers with fire retardant that appeared to successfully suppress the fire. Strong winds through the following day re-ignited the fire, which prompted two more bombers to attack the fire. Rain showers that night may have assisted with the final extinguishment of the fire. Despite the amount of precipitation we are receiving this year, fires are still a hazard and residents are encouraged to continue their diligent watch of the surrounding areas and report suspected fires to 1-800-663-5555.

Equestrians in the medals at Summer Games Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Equestrian Tristi Allwood of 100 Mile House says she hopes to compete at the ParaOlympics one day and she figures her recent experience at Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games was a good start. Allwood was a member of the CaribooNorth East Zone 8 team, competing in Para-dressage events where she collected three individual gold medals and a team bronze. The 14-year-old has been riding horses since she was three and learned to ride before she could walk. A walking delay resulted from birth-related cerebral palsy, but riding a horse proved to be the right therapy. “Riding a horse uses the same hip movement as walking and it helped me to learn how to walk.” She has difficulty with activities that require running, but on the back of a horse, she’s free. “It’s like dancing when you have that kind of bond with your horse. I’m going with it and see how far it takes me.” South Cariboo rider, Andrea Dobbs, 17, also added to the success of the equestrian team, placing fourth in one able-bodied dressage event and fifth in two others. “It was a mind-blowing experience. Our team worked so hard and we cheered each other on. Winning the bronze was pretty sweet and I cried when they announced it.” She was happy with how she and her horse, Presario, worked as a team and is hoping to compete next year in high-level competition.

team from CaribooNorth East, it was a new record. That’s according to team member Olivia Poggenpohl of 108 Mile Ranch who says it was the first time in Games history Cariboo did not place last in girls soccer and it was also the first time they ever scored goals - five to be exact. The team had one win and it came in a 3-0 shutout game against Terrace. Olivia and her twin sister, Sydni, are ecstatic about being part of the history. “I was amazed that Zone 8 broke two records,” says Olivia, who played left midfield for the team. She didn’t score any of the goals, but says she had a great time playing. “I learned something new and made some new game plays.” Sydni played defence and says it

was exciting to play against such skilled teams. “The competition was very tough and our team got better as the games went on.” She also enjoyed going on a shopping trip in downtown Vancouver where they

saw the Vancouver Winter Olympics torch. Sydni says her coach talked about keeping the team together as a tournament team and she would like to see it happen. The BC Summer

Games hosted 2,300 athletes, 474 coaches and 20 sports. The average age of athletes was just over 13 years. The Games have traditionally been an important step for athletes towards provincial and national team programs.

The experience of competing at Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games didn’t quite measure up to what a disappointed Cariboo-North East girls’ softball team had been hoping for. The squad of 17, which included coach Jodi Thomson and players Jillian Thomson and Caitlyn Ray from 100 Mile House and assistant coach Don McCarron of Green Lake, was looking forward to playing their promised minimum of four scheduled games and more if luck stayed on their side. Their Games experience literally turned into a wash-out when rainy weather brought cancellation of their first two games. Jodi says there was no back-up plan in place for them to make up the matches, so their opportunity to move on was based on results from the last two games, which were played later on in the schedule. Teams had to win at least one game to move on, which was not the case for the Cariboo team. They played to a narrow 6-5 loss in their first game with West Kootenay after going 0-0 after

for the whole game. Men’s Ed Ney, Herman Dutchak and Ervin Hannah were first, second and third respectively.

Ladies Sharron Walters took first place, Hollis Ney was second and Maureen Menzies finished third.

Their second game with ThompsonOkanagan was also a loss. The coach says the loss resulted from a string of errors, but adds she felt it wasn’t fair to end it there. “If we’d had our other two games, we would have had the opportunity to come back. They should have made up those games for us.” All of the participating teams missed playing two of their games, which Jodi says put them on an even playing field, but she says they went there to play ball and didn’t think

it fair that it cost them $18,000 in fundraising to play just two games. “We play ball in the rain all the time, but down there we had to have 20 minutes with no rain and then field crews had to drain the fields. It rains all the time in Surrey and they should have been better prepared.” She says that suggestions from coaches

to use other venues were dismissed due to unavailability of transportation for the players. “It wasn’t about going to the Games to win; it was about going to play ball. Our kids would rather have played their games at night instead of going to the dance. Parents would have driven them but it wasn’t allowed. It was heartbreaking.”

reside in this lake, including rainbow trout, lake trout, kokanee, and burbot. Some anglers report catching rainbow trout up to five pounds. Kokanee fishing can be an exciting challenge. They can be particular about their food and water temperature preferences. They will feed on nymphs or insect larvae on occasion, but plankton is their major food source. Lures and bait should therefore be small, and should imitate plankton’s colours and movements. Red and pearl or silver are good combinations to try. In spring and fall, try slow-sinking or floating lines. Weighted lines are best suited for mid-summer to allow you to reach the

Softball player Trevor Moore didn’t think anything could top his recent experience of competing in provincial championships, but a trip to the Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games on July 19-22, changed all of that. He and his brother, Brandon Moore, both played ball for the Summer Games Cariboo-North East team and helped take them to the bronzemedal game. The U14 squad got off to a good start in the preliminaries with a couple of back-toback victories and a first-place standing in the round robin.

Brandon Moore “We were feeling really confident when we went to the semis with Clearwater ( T h o m p s o n Okanagan),” says Brandon. The game got off to a slow start and they were down by six runs when determination kicked in.

Trevor Moore It wasn’t enough to completely turn it around, but Cariboo narrowed the gap to lose by just two runs and advance to the bronze-medal game against Fraser Valley. That hard-fought game also ended in a loss and left Cariboo in fourth place. The highlight of the Games for Trevor was getting on base almost every time he went to bat, and just being there. “Summer Games were way better than provincials. Our team did good, pitching, catching and hitting.” Brandon was pretty excited about hitting a triple, which is something that doesn’t happen a lot for him. “We were up against some really strong competition and I think it’s made me a better ballplayer.”

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our loving father, husband, grandfather and great-grandfather. Dad was born in Hague, Sask. on March 18th, 1925. He was the second oldest of five children. He was predeceased by parents, Pete and Helena, brothers Henry and Pete and sisters Mary and Tina. Dad is survived by Freda, his loving wife and soulmate of 62 years, his four children, Doug (Vee), Carol Laughlin (Rod), Judy Brereton and Marlene Hildebrandt (Sid). He also leaves behind his 6 devoted grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren with no. 9 expected to arrive in the fall. He is also survived by his youngest brother Johnny and his wife Kay in Saskatoon along with numerous nieces and nephews. Dad spent his working career as a mechanic – car and heavyduty. He was a hard working and honest man who enjoyed many hours of hunting and fishing as his hobbies. You could always find Dad in his “shop” working on either his or someone’s vehicles. Dad was very generous in giving of his time to all friends and neighbors. He will be dearly missed and remembered with much love. Rest in peace Dad and enjoy your catching up with Uncle Dave on all your hunting stories. Funeral Service Wednesday, August 1st at 1:00 pm in the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969216th Street. In lieu of flowers, donations to Mission Hospital, Surrey Memorial or BC Cancer Society, would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
