McLeod meets with mayor and council Carole Rooney Free Press

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod was in 100 Mile House and hosted its municipal leaders to lunch at the Red Rock Grill, Aug. 5.

“I invited mayor and council to join me for an informal luncheon conversation. It was really an opportunity just for me to hear what’s happening and get updates.” The group talked about forestry issues, proposed riding changes, the hemp initiative and

other economic-development issues, she says. McLeod adds she also informed the municipal government members about the new Community Infrastructure Fund to ensure they are aware of it. Mayor Mitch Campsall

says the importance of ongoing funding to ensure community safety through the RCMP’s regional North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Team was also discussed. See McLEOD… page A4

Rapid infiltration basin nears completion

Lunch music at library

Free Press

Library patrons who enjoy music may wish to note two local musicians will play their musical instruments at the 100 Mile House Branch Library during the lunch hour on two separate Wednesdays this month, beginning at noon. Today, (Aug. 15) 100 Mile resident Alex Zamoraro will play classical guitar music in the Bossa Nova style. It is Brazilian music style developed during the 1950s and its origins come from samba and jazz. On Aug. 22, Curtis Wolfe will play both the violin and the viola. His repertoire of genres includes classical, Spanish, fiddle music, bluegrass and western. Further information about these Cariboo Regional District Library events is available by stopping by the 100 Mile House Branch Library at 449 Birch Ave., or by calling the library at 250-3952332.

The District of 100 Mile House’s $650,000 rapid infiltration basin project is well underway. District operations director Garry Laursen says the project is expected to be completed and in operation by September, with only one small hitch so far with the drainage material. “We had a revision that slowed us down a couple of weeks, but everything is on track now. “We didn’t find the exact material we were hoping for, so we had to dig a little deeper, and change the configuration of the basins.” The change took the basin floors down to a sand layer that will percolate the sewage, he explains. The project is still within its $650,000 budget at this point, Laursen says, adding it’s coming along

The rapid infiltration basin project has been under construction at the District of 100 Mile House sewage treatment facility on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road since early June. It is expected to be commissioned by mid- to late September. well.”[The contractor] Kingsgate is doing a good job.” The budget is covered by $400,000 in Towns for Tomorrow provincial funding and $250,000 in Community Works (gas tax) funding. “The district is

sure looking forward to commissioning it because that will help us get rid of more effluent yearround.” Previously, the district had to store treated sewage effluent all winter in hopes it will be used

up by area farmers who spray it on their fields, he notes, but levels have been slowly building up over the years with no other way to get rid of them. It is not affected by a high water table, Laursen adds, but

like any water body, heavy rains do make a difference. He notes the irrigation effluent is treated by processing through the aeration lagoons, and is not raw sewage. The effluent currently held in the

storage lagoons will be re-routed into rapid infiltration basins to percolate into the ground. “We are still going to have some spray irrigation, like we have now, and the rapid infiltration is a supplement.”

MLA Barnett reflects on timber review Carole Rooney Free Press

The Special Committee on Timber Supply has wrapped up its public hearings, after visiting 15 communities around the province between June 18 and July 12. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who sits on the committee, says it received approximately 700 written submissions, including letters, online comments and live presentations. “It’s been a wonderful information gathering from all walks of life from First Nations, from communities, from foresters and from citizens.” The committee has been gearing up by meeting two or three times each week, for up to 13 hours a day, and Barnett says it

Donna Barnett is now ready to reveal its findings. “We are finalizing our report and it will be delivered by Aug. 15. That was our mandate.” While the details will be released today (Aug. 15), she does offer a glimpse of the key issues as she sees them. “It was pretty much a theme of community sta-

bility and ‘do not touch land-use plans, land-use plans were put there for a reason’.” Barnett adds a followup point she heard was if the province is going to go ahead and modify land-use plans, it must go through the public process for approvals. A common suggestion was to find ways to salvage more fibre from the bush after logging operations go through, Barnett explains, rather than simply burning it. This idea isn’t new, she notes, but there needs to be local industry demand for it, and the viability and profitability has to be selfsustaining. “That’s being pursued through innovation and different avenues. And, of course, there’s [University of British Columbia] and

different research places that are always looking to use this type of fibre.” She adds there was “lots of talk” about forest fertilization to get better yield and growth, as well as much discussion on moving to area-based tenures (from volume based). However, some of the public who commented were in favour of this, Barnett explains, some didn’t understand it and others were undecided. “A lot of people said, ‘well maybe, but I want to see what exactly the areabased tenure would look like before I would agree to it’.” The benefits of community forests and woodlots to the timber supply were another topic frequently brought forward, she adds. Another issue brought

up by some outside of the hearings, including the Opposition, is the question of appertency - reserving the timber in a given area for its local mills. “If you had an appertency in Williams Lake and 100 Mile, you probably wouldn’t have a mill today. Because the different species and the different types of timber ... in order to keep the mills open and viable, timber comes from everywhere throughout the Interior, Prince George, Kamloops, Lillooet....” Some of British Columbia’s mills sell to or trade with each other, Barnett notes, or companies with several mills co-ordinate consignments according to needs and what is currently available.

McLeod: Riding changes don’t make sense McLEOD… from page A1 Pursuing help with forestry management after the pine beetle devastation was also a key element in the conversations, he explains.

Cathy McLeod The district politicians asked the MP if there is any federal support funding for the timber-supply transition period. “We’ve got to start looking around, because if we start

losing mills, we’re in trouble.” The mayor adds he talked to McLeod about the proposed boundary changes that will remove 100 Mile, 108 Mile Ranch and Lac la Hache from her riding. “She can’t understand it. And from what I understand, it doesn’t make sense to [Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl] either. “There’s no common sense involved here with them trying to deal with our issues. It just doesn’t work.” In discussing the issue with McLeod, Campsall says he sees the crucial step to stop the change is by getting numerous written protests sent in to the Federal Electoral Boundaries

Commission for British Columbia before the end of August. “We’ve got to get letters out. I really do hope the [South Cariboo] Chamber of Commerce has sent a letter.” The potential for industrial hemp production in the area was briefly discussed, but Campsall notes not much is happening on that initiative right now. Since the previous project funding ran out, he says project investment is needed to move that forward. “We’re trying.

Cathy McLeod

Again, it’s the economy; everybody’s so scared to invest anything, anywhere.” Campsall notes the group also talked to McLeod about the potential‚ or lack thereof‚ for obtaining more federal funding. While the district “always” lobbies for economic-development money when it has a chance, the mayor notes the substantial grants just aren’t out there right now. “We’re not foolish enough to think there’s tons of money out there. With the economic downturn,

there’s not many tax dollars going into the federal purse [or] the provincial purse. We understand that....” He also points out the frequency that the McLeod makes herself accessible in the district. “Cathy McLeod has made herself available.... It’s almost like she’s in our face all the time. “That’s not common. A representative that’s like that is worth her weight in gold.” Written comments on local riding changes can be submitted to the commission until Aug. 30.

HIGGINS… from page A1 issue, Barnett explains she contacted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) in Victoria office last week. The MLA says she had initially received word that no more aerators would be removed until they investigated the issue. Barnett explains she told the staff in Minister Steve Thomson’s office: “I don’t care, that aerator has to go back into that lake.” MFLNRO Public Affairs Officer Brennan Clarke responded to requests for comment from the Williams lake office. He says the decision to remove the aerator was a result of increasing operating costs and declining grants from the HCTF, which has provided funding for the five aerators in the Cariboo for close to a decade. On Aug. 13, however, he confirmed the aerator in Higgins Lake will be reinstalled sometime before midSeptember, pending

the removal of the Higgins Lake aerator was controversial and unforeseen by local residents. In light of concerns raised by [MLA Barnett], Minister Steven Thomson reassessed this decision and directed staff to reinstall the Higgins Lake aerator and fund its continued operation for at least one more year.” Hill says it’s “great” the aerator is going back into the lake, but

aerator is back in operation and all the lakes in her constituency are off the chopping block for aerator removals. “It is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. I couldn’t believe it when I got this phone call [from Hill].” The local MLA still wonders what the decision to remove aerators was trying to accomplish. “Here we are living in an area where we

brag about our beautiful freshwater lakes and our fish .... The only way the fish [in these lakes] are going to survive is with aerators in the wintertime. What ever happened to common sense?” Landowners should always be consulted through a public process for changes of this magnitude, she notes. Hill explains she has been in contact with many Higgins Lake landowners and “everybody’s concerned.” “There are a lot of cottages here [and] eight or nine full-time

residents on the lake. It was just really bad that they didn’t let anyone know.” Zadworney adds Barnett “must be stirring up enough mud” in Victoria and he hopes she is successful in permanently reinstating the aerator. Clarke says there are no plans to decommission any of the other four Cariboo Region aerators at this time. Barnett says if they do get removed, however, she’ll be ready. “If they touch ‘em, they’ll have to deal with me again.”

Forest Products Manufacturers establish safety task force In response to the devastating explosions at Babine Forest Products and Lakeland Mills earlier this year, British Columbia’s wood products manufacturers have come together to advance research and best practices in improving mill safety. On May 2, the CEOs from the major wood products manufacturing companies in British Columbia met to create an action plan for improving safety. Companies including Ainsworth, Tolko, West Fraser Timber and seven others then set about establishing a CEO-led task force to quantify combustion risks related to dust from processing both green and dry wood. The task force also set about identifying best practices for dust mitigation from other

Council of Forest Industries (COFI) CEO John Allan says no cause of the explosions has been found yet in the ongoing investigations by WorkSafe BC, but dust control precautions are being taken anyway. “We’ve been trying to reach out to other mills that are outside our group to inform them of our activities. As well, WorkSafe BC has expanded its dust management to more than sawmills, as it has gone into pulp mills and plywood [and] veneer plants.”

In the meantime, he adds members feel the severity of the two incidents demands an immediate and comprehensive safety response, so the task force was created. The task force also began developing a set of clear and auditable standards for use in independently assessing the safety of the industry’s mills. The CEOs committed to work with other experts and stakeholders to ensure these standards are comprehensive and provide reliable assurance that conditions in mills across B.C. are safe for workers, Allan adds. He says the CEOs report their companies began taking “proactive steps to mitigate all possible fuel and ignition sources in the mills” – as far back as January – and have also implemented “extensive measures”

Waterfalls trail closed for upgrade

“

Ken Alexander Free Press

The waterfalls trail through Centennial Park was closed to the public on Aug. 13 and will remain closed until Sept. 30, while the trail is upgraded and the two bridges are replaced. The contract has been awarded to Bree Contracting Ltd. of 100 Mile House. District of 100 Mile House operations director Garry Laursen says the existing main trail, which is above the falls and behind the hospital, will be recapped, widened and generally improved from the top half to two-thirds of the way down the hill. The more intensive trail improvements will take place where it becomes muddy, with water seeping out of the ground and running over part of the trail surface. Laursen says this area has to be ditched and culverted for a general drainage and trail improvement. District operations supervisor Kevin Dicken explains they will be using geotextile fabric in the

hen former International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda’s resignation went into effect on July 31, it brought more questions about what’s wrong with the special treatment the folks we elect receive in Ottawa. Oda has been under a dark cloud of suspicion and ridicule for her outlandish spending habits that were being paid for by the country’s taxpayers. Her spending habits are well-documented, as she has billed taxpayers for everything from chauffeured limousines, a $16 glass of orange juice and luxurious accommodations at London’s Savoy Hotel. She later paid back the difference between the costs of the two hotels. However, some other questions about Oda’s spending habits abroad have yet to be resolved. Records show she modified the amounts related to expenses on a number of recent trips, but has refused to reveal why those figures were changed. She was later forced to apologize to the House of Commons when a document turned up, showing that Canadian International Development Agency officials had actually OK’d the funding, but the then Minister of International Development had the word “not” inserted into the approval form. She had become an embarrassment for the federal Conservative government, and the power brokers could no longer defend her by ignoring the public outcry. So, Ms. Oda was forced to take the high road and resigned. While she rightfully lost her $233,247 salary, her car and driver, and allowances for travel and housing, Canadian taxpayers are still on the hook for her gold-plated pension. Ms. Oda’s pension will give her more than $50,000 a year. The pension is indexed to inflation, so it will be increased every year with the cost of living and it’s guaranteed for the rest of her life. Should anything happen to the retired parliamentarian, a surviving spouse is entitled to 60 per cent of the money for life. That’s a pretty nice payout for someone who has only served seven years. It’s outrageous that someone who has blatantly disrespected the taxpayers with her outlandish spending should live so high off the hog for the rest of her life. This has to change, but it will only happen if we, the taxpayers, make it happen.

Time to reel in pensions

When you raise the issue around the water cooler about how we pay our politicians in Ottawa, it rarely takes long before you hear a rant about their platinum-plated pensions. Taxpayers annually contribute $102.7 million to the pensions of MPs and senators. The politicians only pay $4.4 million into their pension plan. Many backbench MPs defeated in last year’s election started collecting $33,000 in annual pension at age 55 for just seven years of service. While not quite as generous as the politicians, even senior government bureaucrats have gotten in on the act. Taxpayers put $80 million into their pension plan in 2010, while they only contributed $11 million. When it comes to pensions, the best thing we can say about MPs, senators and senior bureaucrats is there aren’t too many of them: relatively speaking, they’re a small problem. Fattening up their pensions cost taxpayers less than $200 million annually. The pensions of the entire federal government payroll, on the other hand, are a big problem. The federal public service pension plan had 561,395 members in 2010 – 317,088 active members and 179,670 retirees collecting pensions. Newly retired government workers collected an average of $35,644 annually, retiring as early as 55.

GREGORY THOMAS

GUEST SHOT Therefore, the total pension payments were $5 billion. Total contributions from federal government employees were $1.52 billion, while total contributions from taxpayers were $2.8 billion. Compared to the outrageous pension schemes we’ve set up for politicians and senior bureaucrats, our half-million or so federal employees appear to be a bargain. When you consider that you and your boss will pay $4,614 into Canada Pension Plan (CPP) this year and every year, so you can someday retire at 60 and collect $8,300 in annual benefits, it doesn’t seem like a very good deal. The worst news about government employee pensions is the total tab: taxpayers are on the hook for $147 billion in lifetime pension benefits for these half-million federal employees. That’s roughly equal to the entire assets of the CPP – a plan that’s meant to eventually support nearly every one of the 34 million Canadians. The C.D. Howe Institute states the news is even worse. It claims the federal government is underestimat-

ing its obligations for bureaucrat pensions and that our “unfunded liability” is more like $227 billion. However, help might be on the way. In Switzerland in January, Prime Minister Stephen Harper signalled that pension changes are coming in the next budget. Back home in Ottawa, Mr. Harper upped the ante on pensions, hinting that changes are coming to the platinum-plated parliamentary pension plan. That will be the first — and very necessary step — to gain the moral high-ground required to reform public sector pensions. Taxpayers understand there is no free lunch. They also understand that government employees want to put money aside for retirement. Matching both MP and bureaucrat contributions dollar-for-dollar in a pooled registered pension plan, an RRSP, or a tax-free savings account seems more appropriate in today’s reality –and maybe even still generous. Nevertheless, reform is necessary if we want to reign in the exploding pension liabilities that are being foisted upon taxpayers, both from politicians and bureaucrats alike. Gregory Thomas is the federal and Ontario director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Letters to the editor

OPINION

…A9

NTERTAINMENT BCGEU leadership claims are off base To the editor: To some degree, I understand some of the reasons why the BCGEU is on strike. Others I do not agree with, but that is not the purpose of my letter. What I do question is the rationale behind how the BCGEU leadership claims the government can earn extra revenue to pay for their demands. One suggested method is to open all liquor stores on Sundays; therefore, increasing revenue by a whopping 11 per cent. Just because your store is open longer does not directly correlate to an increase in revenue. It’s basic business planning 101. This same theory would suggest that if all stores in 100 Mile House that are now open Monday to Friday all of a

sudden opened Saturday and Sunday, they would see an increase in revenue by 28.5 per cent. It’s ludicrous to think such a theory would hold true. What will happen is those who previously purchased their goods during regular hours would now have the option of purchasing on Sunday and, therefore, decrease revenues on some days and deferred to Sundays. There would be a marginal increase in revenue due to availability, but to suggest $100 million increase based on current $906 million revenues is questionable at best. I’d suggest that business plan would not go too far with most economists. Walter Bramsleven 100 Mile House

Bev Oda approach to aid un-Canadian

To the editor: In light of former International Co-operation minister Bev Oda’s resignation, many have commented on her record as a politician, a minister and an expert on expensive orange juice. However, what has been missing from this commentary is what has happened to our foreign aid under her watch. Under Ms. Oda, Canada’s contribution to foreign aid has declined in absolute and percentage terms, and has moved away from aid for the poorest of the poor and towards countries that can offer political advantage. We are now spending $3.5 billion a year providing little to no help to those who need it most. In my eyes, this is distinctly un-Canadian. There has been a long-standing belief in our country that aid should not be about what’s in our interest, but instead it is about doing the right thing and using our aid dollars the most effective way possible. Minister Oda and the Conservative government had the opportunity over the past four years to do just that, and to make substantial contribution to the world. Instead they chose to use foreign aid to push their narrow-minded political and economic agenda. As Canadians, we trust our government to spend our money on worthy causes and meaningful initiatives. But it’s hard to make good spending decisions about the poorest of the poor when you’re drinking orange juice at luxury hotels like the Savoy. John McKay Liberal MP

B.C. liquor laws finally effective

VICTORIA – Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic.

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency

stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

Government must stop illegal billing To the editor: Public health-care advocates are pleased provincial auditors have finally released the results of its investigation of the for-profit Cambie Surgery Centre and Specialist Referral Clinic. The findings confirm our suspicion the clinics were charging patients illegal fees for health services already covered by Medicare. However, we are shocked by the extent of the billing the audit uncovered. The audit released last week revealed nearly $500,000 in illegal fees related to just a small sample of the total services provided at the two private clinics. If similar

billing practices exist at the 20 other for-profit surgical clinics in the province, then patients and British Columbia’s public insurance plan are potentially being billed

illegally for millions of dollars. Government must audit all private clinics in B.C., and take a leadership role in protecting British Columbians from

for-profit clinics that are charging illegal fees for health services covered by Medicare. Rick Turner, co-chair BC Health Coalition

Resident appreciates generosity To the editor: A couple of weeks ago, I set up a tent at the local Farmers’ Market. I only had one thing for sale and a single goal in mind. I was hoping to sell my cake pops with all money going towards a new wig for my little cousin who has suffered from Alopecia for seven years. I was completely blown away by the generosity of the visitors and

the residents of 100 Mile House. I had countless people just walk up to me and hand me donations. At the end of a long day, a kind vendor neighbour, Tina, told me she would buy everything I had left. My fundraising goal was $300, which would buy a moderate human hair wig. With sales from 100 Mile and the other Farmers Markets, I went to in Osoyoos and I man-

aged to raise $450. I am so thankful for the generosity of so many different people and I’m looking forward to proudly handing over the money to my little cousin. With all the awful things happening in the world, I thought it might be nice to share this story of generosity and good will. Linda Colbert Horse Lake

Newsbeat Around the province Pellet gun seized KAMLOOPS — He was shot in the chin with a pellet gun and an 18-year-old male may face charges — but, as of Tuesday morning (Aug. 14), the 19-year-old victim continued to tell Mounties he had no idea who shot him, or why. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said a passerby called police at 8:45 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13, after coming across a man in the 500block of Columbia Street who had a wound in his throat area. Mounties responded and found the victim, who was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where the pellet was removed. The injuries he suffered were not life-threatening. When spoken to by officers, Ward said, the victim was unable to give any sensible details of what had happened to him. The investigation continues.

Your turn…

Do you think urban consumers need more education on where their food comes from?

Joy Probyn 103 Mile I think they’re getting more educated lately because there’s more information out there these days.

Pat Olsoff Green Lake I think there are quite a few that do.

Peter Zechman Edmonton Definitely. I think they don’t bother to find out, they are too busy.

Verla Atchison Williams Lake I believe people are becoming more aware and asking questions, which is good.

Rafters saved from river PRINCE GEORGE — Two rafters were rescued from an island between Hanbury and Rustad Rd., between the Foothills and John Hart Bridge Friday after fire rescue got a report of a rafter falling from a flotation device. Eleven fire rescue personnel from two halls responded to the call and were joined by several RCMP officers and BCAS paramedics. Personnel in one apparatus made voice contact with two people stranded on the island. Personnel from another apparatus solicited assistance from a resident of the Del Haven Estates who had a boat ready to deploy. The resident and a firefighter with river rescue equipment travelled upriver from Pozer Road, located and rescued the two stranded rafters. Neither rafter was injured, nor were any rescue personnel. Prince George Fire Rescue urges caution when engaging in water-based activities. Both the Nechako and Fraser are still running high, fast, and cool.

Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you. Bruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also, the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly. Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor. If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable. Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important.

Local man dies in fall on Mt. Rogers A resident of 108 Mile Ranch died in a fall on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park near Golden. The BC Coroners Service has identified the man as Jon Howard Sortome, 52, who fell a significant distance down the mountain Aug. 8 when climbing with his son. Sortome’s 22-yearold son was injured

in the incident, but was able to return to base camp and raise the alarm. They had been attempting an ascent on the Mt. Rogers glacier when they encountered severe weather conditions. They w e re attempting to return to their base camp when something went wrong. Golden RCMP

Jon Howard Sortome

received a call from Parks Canada a 6 p.m. MST, stating they had a report that two mountain climbers had fallen on Mt. Rogers and one was deceased. RCMP confirms the pair was descending the mountain when they slipped in the snow. They slid approximately 100 metres on the snow before

falling approximately 10 metres over a bergschrund (glacial crevasse). Sortome’s body was recovered on Aug. 9, after remaining on the mountain overnight until Parks Canada Search and Rescue could safely remove him. The BC Coroners Service continues to investigate.

Another active week for local RCMP POLICE REPORT 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 92 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Driving prohibited On Aug. 12, 100 Mile House RCMP were conducting routine patrols on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road near Forest Grove. An officer happened upon a Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck stopped in the middle of the road. When the officer approached the stillidling vehicle, a lone male was observed seated behind the wheel. An odor of liquor was detected from the occupant. An

approved screening device was administered at the side of the road. The result from the male driver was a fail. A second test was requested and administered. The result was again a fail. The operator met the requirements of the I.R.P. legislation and was issued a 90-day driving prohibition. The vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. The male operator was not from the 100 Mile House area.

Virus outbreak over

A 24-hour contagious illness that swept through the Educo Outdoor Adventure School west of 100 Mile late last week may have been the Norwalk virus. Executive Director Stuart Clark says the health authorities were unable to confirm if the virus that hit about half of the 35 students currently enrolled late last week (Aug. 9-10) was in fact the Norwalk strain. All students are recovering and no more cases have been found, he explains. Clarke credits the outbreak control to quick action on the part of staff to disinfect surfaces and intensify hand-washing routines.

Why horses need their hooves pampered On the surface, it seems almost foolish that a horse should be shod with a hard, metal disk on each of its hooves. After all, if animals were meant to wear shoes wouldn’t we see cheetahs wearing sneakers or dogs donning boots? Although it may seem odd, horseshoes provide protection to working horses. Working horses are those that are asked to carry riders, pull farm equipment and do different tasks that a wild horse does not. There are distinct differences between domesticated working horses and their wild counterparts, which is why domestic horses are fitted with shoes. In the wild, horses walk long distances to find acceptable grazing pastures. Trekking so far across different types of terrain naturally hardens the horses’ hooves. Furthermore, eating wild vegetation provides certain nutrients essential to strengthening hooves and keeping

Domesticated horses often wear horseshoes to protect their hooves from the added weight of riders. them healthy. Domestic horses walk far less than their wild cousins. Also, commercial feed provided to them does not have the same level of nutrients necessary to properly strengthen hooves. The added weight of riders or gear can put strain on horse hooves. To help

Horseshoes have long been thought to bring good luck. Some people believe that the horseshoe has to be hung with the ends pointing up to catch and store luck, while others think the ends should point down to spill the luck on all in the home. Horseshoes are considered lucky because they were originally made of iron, which was thought to be magical due to its strength and ability to withstand fire. Blacksmiths who made the horseshoes were thought to heal the sick and also carry magical powers, which they may have passed onto their horseshoe creations. 140 N. Mackenzie Ave, Williams Lake

WHY ARE HORSESHOES LUCKY?

alleviate that, different horseshoes are used depending on the type of work the horse does. The person who does shoeing on a horse is called a farrier. The farrier’s tools and apron have remained unchanged for years. The farrier often goes to the horse to do his work. Shoeing can

be done hot or cold, but the cold process requires horseshoes be custom-made at another location. Hot shoeing allows the farrier to custom mold shoes on the premises. While the horse shoeing process may look painful for the horse, in essence it’s just like getting a pedicure. An experienced farrier knows what to do to make a horse comfortable and prevent any pain There are many different types of horseshoes for particular tasks. These include shoes for trail riding, jumping, racing, and even therapy for horses that may otherwise go lame.

Kidney Walk plans well underway

Monika Paterson Free Press

100 Mile House Kidney Walk coordinator Dale Phelps says she is very excited about the second annual event at Centennial Park, Aug. 19. “It’s absolutely wonderful on how it is coming together. It is going to be a fun day.” This year, there will be a large tent in case of inclement weather, she adds.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., with the walk starting at 10. The event will wrap up by 4 p.m. The Williams Lake Pipe and Drum Band will parade the walkers and runners out of the park, Phelps explains. The walkers will make their way out of the park, up Cedar Avenue to Fifth Street and then to the underground tunnel.

Smoke, not fires

The smoky haze noticeable in the South Cariboo is likely drifting in from elsewhere. Fire information officer Jenny Fremlin says there are no known fires of note within the Cariboo Fire Centre region that could be contributing to this smoke. The haze may be coming from as far away as Russia, she explains. For more information visit www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/fires/main/ usa/20120809-pacific-clouds.html.

They will make one lap around the 100 Mile Marsh by the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, but runners will make two laps around the marsh. A water stop will be set up in front of the visitor centre and walkers and runners will then retrace their steps back to the park. Phelps will be making an opening speech and one-minute of silence will be observed to remember those who have lost their battle with kidney disease. Everything is coming together well, she says, adding most of the entertainment is set. Larry Rode will be the master of ceremonies and the lineup includes Ben Johnson, the 2012 Cariboo Idols, the Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys and singer Laura Kelsey. In addition to vendors and crafters, there will be a silent auction table with two dozen items to bid on, including a First Nations Coast Salish eagle mask donated by Deon Louie.

That’s all I can say at this time.” As parliamentary secretary for rural communities and a senior herself, Barnett says she has talked to older folks required to take the driving test and has

Free Press

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the DriveABLE program will likely see positive changes this fall. DriveABLE ensures those seniors identified by a physician as having cognitive issues have retained sufficient cognitive abil-

been working on some underlying issues for “a long, long time.” She notes the test, in itself, isn’t the trouble. The problem for seniors in the South Cariboo and other rural areas is they need the ability to take the test closer to their own community, Barnett explains. “Seniors don’t have a prob-

lem being safe or taking driving tests, none of us do. The issue in a nutshell ... is accessibility.” At age 80, every driver must undergo a driver medical examination with their doctor, which evaluates a person’s medical fitness to drive safely, by assessing vision, physical abilities and medical conditions that may affect driving.

Only those identified by a physician as having cognitive issues are referred by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles office to DriveABLE. With the assistance of a health-care professional, the inoffice computer test is designed to assess potential for driving See SENIORS… page A20

SENIORS… from page A18 errors associated with cognitive decline (but not general driving skills or road rules). Barnett explains this isn’t the first time the program has been modified since it was implemented in 2005. “Before, if you failed [DriveABLE], then you were done; you couldn’t take your driver’s test. But after we worked with the ministry and, basically, as a representative for rural communities, ‘made a lot of noise’, it was changed so that if you failed that one, you could still take the driver’s test.” The issue now is the driver’s test must be taken in urban centres that have a driving examiner with a dual-steering-wheel vehicle, and she adds there is “no accessibility” close to home for many rural communities. Some elderly constituents in 100 Mile House have been getting letters instructing them to go to Prince George or Kamloops for their test, so Barnett says she’s been working “very diligently” to get it closer to home. Meanwhile, she encourages any seniors who receive such a letter before the changes occur to call her office first before they book the test. “I’m looking for positive things to happen.” Of the nearly half a million drivers over the age of 65 in B.C., about 1,500 need to take a DriveABLE assessment.

Dream realized for E NTERTAINMENT silver medallist archer Ken Alexander Free Press

Lac la Hache archer Adrian Messner, 63, realized an eight-year dream when he won a silver medal in the Masters 50-plus traditional division of the 3D Archery Outdoor Nationals at Silver Star in Vernon, Aug. 3-6. The dream began at the 3D Provincial in Vanderhoof in 2004, where he entered as an independent, and won the gold. That same year, the Nationals were held in Prince George and he won his division. Messner says he told his wife, Maureen, he wanted to continue shooting until the National championship was held in British Columbia again. Normally, there’s a 10-year cycle before they return to a province, but it just happened to be back in B.C. in eight years. Since the 2004 titles, Messner has attended and won the Outdoors 3D Nationals in St. John, New Brunswick (2005), Barrie, Ontario (2007). He also won

gold at the 2010 Indoor Nationals in Red Deer, Alberta. Because he had won the Provincials several times during those years, he was asked to become a member of the B.C. Archery Team. Messner declined because he had new grandchildren and he wanted to spend time with them. At the same time, he was diagnosed as being a diabetic and spent time dealing with, and getting used, to the life changes the disease forced on him. “I had to restructure all of my training, schedules and the way I worked. I had to get my bow redone because I was getting older and didn’t want to pull 55 pounds anymore, so I went down to 50 pounds.” Noting he knew the Nationals were slated for Vernon in 2012, Messner says he set a training schedule, so he would peak at that time. He adds men-

tal preparation plays a very important role. “It’s like the dream – if you can dream and write it down, you can do it. I made a lot of sacrifices and did a lot of training because of this passion, or almost an obsession, as my wife used to say.” He adds there are many good archers in this area, so there is a lot of good com-

South Cariboo seniors get set for B.C. games Carole Rooney Free Press

Preparations are underway for local seniors who will compete in the 2012 BC Seniors Games in Burnaby, Aug. 21-25. More than a dozen residents of the South Cariboo will be travelling for this year’s event. Practice is ongoing, says four-time participant Maureen Van Gool of Bridge Lake, who will compete in the carpet bowling event with her husband, Ed, and Rob and Rose Magnusson of Lone Butte in the Zone 9 men’s and women’s team of four division. Last year, this local team faced a gruelling schedule of six games a day and stiff competition, which she adds was “pretty tough,” but walked away with

a gold medal. “We have a grand time. Whether you win a medal or not, that’s just sort of icing on the cake, you meet so many nice people.” The team has been practising in the Magnusson’s basement between its regular weekly games at Creekside Seniors Activity Centre, Van Gool notes. Beyond the social aspects of the BC Senior’s Games, she adds the sports are a great way to keep fit and flexible. “I have arthritis really bad in my back, and if I wasn’t carpet bowling, I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be able to bend over by now.” Despite popular opinion, Van Gool explains carpet bowling is not just for older folks, but does allow light exercise that “doesn’t make you moan and

groan” afterward. Local residents Sandy Hurley, Roy Winton and Kitty Carrol are in the men’s and women’s team of four division carpet bowling. Dan Carson, Rene and Ruth Le Blanc and Ralph MacEachern will each compete in darts; Chris Stevens in golf; David Funk in snooker; and Beverly Iverson in track and field. The BC Seniors Games include 24 sports and games and about 3,500 participants from all across the province. Zone 9 board director/chair Linda Meise notes that next year, the games will be held closer to home, as they are slated for Aug. 20-24 in Kamloops. She notes it’s a good chance for more South Cariboo residents, aged 55 and older, to get on board for the games.

“It’s a great way to have fun and stay fit.” The games offer something for almost every level of fitness, from more athletic sports, such as badminton, soccer, and hockey, to less active games, such as bridge, whist and cribbage, and inbetween, there is carpet bowling, curling and table tennis. There is also archery, bocce, cycling, dragon boat racing, five-pin bowling, floor curling, golf, horseshoes, lawn bowling, one-act plays, pickleball, slo-pitch, swimming and tennis. Registration happens in the spring, so if you are interested, be sure mark it on your calendar to check out deadlines early in the year.

Annual Interlakes Rodeo another great success ing ranchers. “We need real cowboys to help handle the rough stock during the rodeo because we can’t have city slickers who don’t have the knowledge to deal with those animals.” However, Zailo explains the stock contractor – WWE out of Salmon Arm – always brings some extra cowboys to fill in. Overall, Zailo says he is pleased with this year’s rodeo. “I just want to express a heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers and sponsors.” Award winners: Ryan Jasper of Riske Creek received the Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty buckle as the men’s All-Around cowboy.

The 22nd Annual Interlakes Rodeo, which was sanctioned by the British Columbia Rodeo Association, on Aug. 4-5 was another huge success. Noting it was the hottest rodeo weekend he can recall in the seven years he’s been involved in the event, Jim Zailo, one of the key organizers, says he believes it had a lot to do with the crowd numbers being down this year. He adds they got around 1,000 to 1,200 for the two days, when they have been getting upwards of 1,400 recently. “It was a little slower than we’re accustomed to on both days. I can understand why; it’s lake country out here, and when it’s hot, people want to be at the lake.” He adds they rely on the tourists and the seasonal residents to fill the stands. However, Zailo says the Interlakes Rodeo is a “well-oiled machine” and it’s going to go regardless and be the same great show it always is. “Everyone knows their jobs and it runs as smooth as silk. Again this year, we had no animals hurt and no competitors hurt, so that’s a huge thing and we’re delighted with that.” Noting the rodeo grounds have been refurbished this year, he says their sponsors have been fabulous, and they received a lot of compliments from the competitors and fans alike. Zailo says there were some local competitors this year, but they finished out of the prizes. The bull riding entries were down a little bit this year, but they got a lot of competitors for all other events. Despite the heat, he says the rough stock was good again this

While there isn’t a lot of shade at the rodeo grounds, Zailo explains they were well watered. Danny Lytton, who recently passed away, was honoured both days, as his good friend Gary Cleveland led a riderless horse around the arena at the start of the shows. Zailo says it’s always a challenge

THE 2012 CANIM LAKE

Marmot Ridge golf continues despite the heat The numbers were down for Men’s Night at Marmot Ridge Golf Course on Aug. 9, as only 14 golfers attended. There were six golfers in the Callaway Division, and Marc Dufour took first low gross after a count-back with

Roger Bernier who had to settle for second low gross. Both men carded scores of 39. Todd Poirier took the long drive and closest-to-the-pin (KP) prizes. There were eight golfers in the Handicap Division,

and Vern Jeffrey took lowgross honours by shooting a score of 35. Roger Hood’s 29 was good enough for first place low net. Karam Parsad, Hood and Byron Nixon captured the long drive and KP prizes.

Ladies Night Twenty-eight women showed up on Ladies Night, Aug. 8, for an exciting round of golf. The high score went to Jeannie Capnerhurst and Carol Ohlund had the low score.

SILVER… from page A21 Messner says he just told himself that if he wants to win, he had to shoot the way he can and believe in himself. When the first day of the shoot arrived, Messner says the nervousness was gone and he was just shooting against another man because he was as nervous about shooting against him. Messner says Garrett was up 22 points at the end of the first day, but they went head-to-head for the next to days. Garrett only won the National gold by 27 points. “We were on the same wavelength. We were always supportive of each other.… Overall, it was a really great experience and I was happy to work and compete of someone of that calibre.”

…A23

Messner says he is not sure what the future will hold. “I told Maureen I was going to spend time with her and go after some of her goals and some of her dreams now that she wants to do. “But you can take a bow anywhere. I love to shoot and I will still shoot because that’s how I keep my diabetes in check. I’ll do some shooting here, and you never know.” Messner says he started shooting with a fibreglass long bow he got from Army and Navy store when he was a child. Then, he didn’t shoot again until he went to university and would go out a little bit on weekends, but “it wasn’t anything too serious.” Messner says he started getting more serious about devel-

oping his archery skills in 2002, but then got truly immersed in competition in 2004 as he prepared for the Provincials. In summing up his dream, Messner says every journey starts with a first step. “2004 was the first one and, now, I’ve come to this step here.” Without saying it, he hints there may be one more big shoot he would like to compete at. “To stay young and active, you have to set goals. Rest assured I’ll be setting some goals pretty soon. “I know the people who are doing the Worlds; I know the people are there and I know the road, but it depends on how things go.” Family, grandchildren and stuff like that become part of

your life, he adds, so that’s all very important, too. “I want to especially thank all of the people who helped me get where I am because there’s been

lots of people over the year’s who have given me encouragement and advice. There has always been real good support in our community and everywhere else.”

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!

She was predeceased by her ﬁrst husband, Freeman Edward Mingo; second husband George Ross; and her sisters Reta Lauder and Beryl Brunton. Iris was married to Freeman in 1939 in Ashcroft, B.C. They lived in the Cariboo area: Deka Lake and Lone Butte, until their son Bob was ready to start school, at which time they moved to Silverdale, near Mission, B.C. After the death of her ﬁrst husband, Iris married George in 1964. Eighteen years ago, Iris moved to Armstrong, B.C. to be closer to her family. Iris’ memory was legendary; she could remember everyone’s birthday! No one was better at crossword puzzles. She enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, walking, and knitting, and was an avid reader of stories of the Cariboo and B.C. No service by request; a remembrance celebration will be held in the fall at Dave Mingo’s residence in Lone Butte, B.C. The family wishes to thank Iris’ friends at Three Links Lodge in Armstrong, who helped her out over the past couple of years and the caring staff at Hospice House in Vernon.

1927 - 2012 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved father, friend, grandpa, uncle and brother on July 25, 2012. Joe is survived by his son Martin, daughters: Carolyn (Wendy) and Madelyn, son-in-law Martin, grandchildren: R.J., Kore, Dustin, Lydia, Beverly, Rachel, Sarah, Travis and Brody; great grandchildren: Isaiah, Gabe, Katy, Esme and Jasper; as well as his A&W Coffee Club Friends, his caring neighbours: Joe and Michelle, Gord and Patty, and Penny; along with many other friends and extended family. Our Dad was a devoted Christian man who loved ﬁshing with his family and gold panning with his friends, he was a true metal artist and liked sharing good times and stories with all who cared to listen. When Dad was two years old, his family emigrated from Poland to Saskatchewan, where his family established a farm. When Dad was old enough, he headed for B.C. to become a logger and long-time subcontractor for Ainsworth. Dad was a genuine pioneer and true trailblazer when it came to logging and road construction. He built many roads into “logging country,” he worked on the 100 Mile House ski hill and built the 100 Mile House dirt bike / snowmobile track. Words cannot express our gratitude to the nursing staff at 100 Mile House Hospital; thank you Kristen. When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom ﬁlled room; why cry for a soul set free? Miss me but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, miss me, but let me go. For this journey we all must take and each must go alone. It is all a part of the Master’s plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

Rest peacefully in God’s arms Dearest Dad. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family at www.100milefuneralservice.com

BEGG

Joyce Mary Born on Oct. 5, 1933 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Joyce Mary Begg (neé Sutherland) was granted her angel wings on Aug. 6, 2012 at her family home in Lac la Hache. Her ﬁnal days were spent surrounded by family and friends who Joyce had touched in some small way throughout her very memorable life. Those who were touched by her special smile and her tenacity for life will always treasure the memories. Through her battle with cancer, she gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life. Her interests included family, gardening, sewing and cruising the open ocean. She devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members. Joyce is survived by her loving husband, George Begg; son Tim Begg (Bronnie), daughter Julie Watson (Bruce), grandchildren: Nick Watson (Heather), Brandon Watson; great-grandchildren Lucas, Averie (Nick) and Alexis (Brandon); as well as her brothers: Ken Sutherland (Joy), Harry Sutherland (Linda), Alex Sutherland (Joy); and many extended family members. Expressing the sentiments of her grandson (author David Harkins) You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or, you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Love you and miss you so much already! Forever in our hearts. At her request, no service will be held. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in her memory can be made to British Columbia Guide Dog Services.

A true cowboy who touched many lives Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

One of the South Cariboo’s most courageous and much loved cowboys has passed away, leaving a hole in the hearts of friends and community. Dan Lytton of Sheridan Lake succumbed to cancer on June 17, 2012, but leaves a legacy that is rich in ethics, fortitude, love and respect for his fellow man. Dan was a true cowboy, having been born on May 26, 1949 to a pioneer family in Sheridan, Wyoming and lived his life amidst horses, cattle and country folks. His earliest years were spent on the family’s homestead ranch on the nearby Powder River, and in 1957, they moved to the Flathead Valley of western Montana. His Uncle Loy and Aunt Behulah Finley bought, and moved to, the Mound Ranch in Clinton in 1967 and that’s where Dan was introduced to the Cariboo. He spent the summer months working at the ranch, gaining experience as a cowboy and honing his roping skills. Each fall he returned to Montana to attend Bozeman Agriculture College, but in 1969, the lure of the Cariboo got the best of him and he made a permanent move north. He got settled as a hired hand for Charlie and Pat Baker at their Loon Lake Ranch and later went on to work for ranchers Don and Jackie Eden of Watch Lake and Chris and Helen Horn of Horse Lake before buying his own ranch, with his wife, Pat, at Sheridan Lake.

Submitted photos

Dan Lytton was a true cowboy and a 2005 inductee to the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame. The couple raised four children - Ty, Tana, Jodie and Leon — while cattle ranching and staying involved with the community. Dan also worked as a farrier and made a name for himself in the rodeo circle as a top-notch team roper. For nearly 30 years, he placed consistently in the top 10 at the professional level. Among his many accomplishments were a first-place result at the Williams Lake Stampede, a roping and penning high-point bronze in 1993 and a placement at Stockman’s Choice at High

River, Alberta in 1991, which earned an impressive stock trailer. It was in the rodeo ring on Sept. 16, 2000 that his life took a twisted turn. While competing in a team roping event at the B.C, Finals in Princeton, the unthinkable happened when his horse fell on him and left him a paraplegic. Earlier that same year, he made a home with his best friend, Linda, and she remained by his side through the days of uncertainty and many months of recovery.

Although resigned to a wheelchair, Dan pushed himself to carry on with a lifestyle as close as possible to the one he had always known. He continued to raise cattle, and in situations that would have once seen him on horseback, Dan rode his quad. It wasn’t always easy and there were some tense moments, but he pushed on. Prior to the accident he had enjoyed driving all four of his children wherever was necessary to compete in rodeos and with changes made to his truck, he was able to continue with that role. In 2002, Dan hauled a stock trailer and two horses to New Mexico, so Leon could compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals. The Interlakes community was important to Dan and he enjoyed volunteering his time as chairperson and spokesman for the annual Interlakes Rodeo. He was also a driving force behind the construction of the rodeo arena. “Community was the most important thing to him,” says

Linda, who became his wife on July 17, 2009. “He wasn’t about material things.” She notes that anywhere they went, Dan would run into someone he knew. “He was always connecting with people. It was important to him, and whether on the street or sitting down, he would always stop and there was always a story. “He reached out just as much in a wheelchair as he did before the accident and you could expect a handshake, and for the ladies, it was a hug. He touched a lot of lives, and it wasn’t just in Interlakes or 100 Mile or in the rodeo circle.” Dan’s dedication and contributions to rodeo and the cowboy way of life didn’t go unnoticed, and in 2005, he was inducted to the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame. His son, Ty, says his dad was very humble about it and most other things that put him in the spotlight. “He didn’t think that what he’d done was anything special, but he was honoured. That’s just the way he was.”

Family and friends were most important to Dan Lytton, and he always had time to share a story.

Folks from Israel visit friends at CCLF 108 tennis It is midsummer and there is love happening at the 108 tennis courts — actually love is not a good thing in tennis, as the word comes from the French “1’oeuf” or egg or zero. The goal is to acquire four points quickly for the game, then win six games to take the set. The 108 Tennis

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

The Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship (CCLF) had two visitors from Israel join them during the last week of July. Leon Mazin and his daughter, Sherley Mazin, stayed with Graham and Marie Allison of the 108. Leon and Sherley live in Haifa. First, they travelled to Toronto to visit with friends and then visited friends in the 108 that they had made when CCLF groups visited Israel in November 2011. Leon is a congregational leader with the Shavei Tzion organization that believes in the return to Zion. Leon is of Russian ancestry and immigrated to Israel 22 years ago. Most of the Russians (1.2 million) migrated to Israel from 1987 to 1995. In 1949, Israel’s population was 1,174,000 and grew to 7,836,000 in 2012. Leon is married with five children and he speaks Russian, Hebrew and English. He served in the Russian military for two years and was stationed in Siberia,

remain there. Weed treatment Like many other areas in British Columbia, 108 Mile Ranch has a problem with noxious weeds, and if left untreated, they will take overrun native plants in the area. To prevent this from occurring, a noxious weed program is in place and has

become very successful. It takes a lot of work to manage, and with the assistance of many people, we think they are winning. Some people may be against weed control, but allowing the noxious plants to take over is a lot more difficult to deal with, especially when there is no grazing left for horses, etc.

SALE

Listen to the music while you wander and shop for the “stinkin’ rose” at the 13th Annual South Cariboo Garlic Festival, Aug. 25-26. The Felker Homestead located, just north of Lac la Hache on Highway 97, is where folks will find a variety of goods and treasures from the 70 different vendors. Entertainment organizer Doug Steven says the festival has a fabulous lineup. It was easy to fill the roster this year because it’s a popular event. Performances can be enjoyed from the seating by the stage or at the picnic tables in the shade provided by the new roof. Local songstress Candace Copley will open the show Aug. 25, starting at 10 a.m. Then British Columbia Country Music Association star Jess Lee and his band begin at 11 a.m.

Starting at noon the Mad Hatter will entertain the youngsters with his funny antics. From 1 to 4 p.m., Williams Lakes’ Perfect Match, Mosquito Creek from Quesnel, and Third Degree from Williams Lake, will all take stage for their one-hour sets. The Soupbone Blues Band

from Williams Lake concludes the entertainment Saturday at 4 p.m. Entertainment will start again Sunday at 10 a.m., with the South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics displaying their twirling, jumping and spinning talents. The Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys will

Friends celebrate life of Erna Zink DEKA DISTRICT DIANA FORSTER 250-593-2155

Many friends filled Deka Fire Hall on Aug. 4 to celebrate the life of Erna Zink who passed away in April. Several friends and family members spoke about their memories, and her younger daughter, Lorraine, particularly thanked the community for always being there to check on Erna or help her out. Photos of Erna with her family were featured throughout the room and a video of her lifetime played in the background. While time has somewhat eased the dreadful sadness, friends will never forget Erna, and will enjoy having her husband, Wolf, “back in the fold.”

AGM slated Deka Lake & District Ratepayers Association’s (DLDRA) annual general meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. at Deka Fire Hall, Aug. 18, and there will be a door prize. Penny Millway and Wolf Zink are up for re-election and the organization is in desperate need of more directors, preferably permanent residents and, perhaps, a couple of men. Currently, the required board of 12 directors is down to seven.

The doors will open at 9:30 a.m. to take memberships, new or renewal ($7 each or $10 per couple residing together). If you don’t want DLDRA to fold, then please attend the meeting. Come to the fair Don’t miss the 55th Bridge Lake Fair Interlakes Hall on Aug. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All the usual critters will be there for you to pet, and this year, Liz McMann, the famous “chainsaw gal,” will be making

magic at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Interlakes youth groups, Kids Space and Teen Space, will have a games corner, and there will be cakewalks on the hour, starting at 11 a.m. Bring your children’s best-dressed bicycles for the parade contest at 2:30 p.m. There are two categories, one for ages five to eight, and one for nine to 12. Entries are accepted all day Saturday (Aug. 18) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will be judged that evening. Entrants are asked to

Books for Babies is a Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society project that has been giving book bags to new parents in 100 Mile House since 2001. The Books for Babies program gives parents books so that they can read to their babies and babies love to hear their parents’ voice. When a good story is read over and over again it helps give children the chance to learn language. Teach your children the joy of reading by reading with them from a very early age and into their teens! Volunteer community efforts are at the heart of this family literacy program’s success in 100 Mile House.

Become a Lifelong Learner! If you would like to learn more about CCPL and the Books for Babies program or if you are interested in volunteering please call Mel Newcombe at 250-945-4199.

English High Tea at Lac des Roches

LAC DES ROCHES SHARRON WOLOSHYN 250 593 0041 250-593-0041

A beautiful summer day was reason enough for ladies from Boultbee and McCarthy roads to enjoy an English afternoon tea on July 29. H o s t e s s Marguerite Neill poured the first cup of tea for each of the ladies who enjoyed a variety of traditional foods brought by the guests. The mandatory scones, served with Devonshire cream and preserves, were delicious, as were the savory Cornish pasties. The selection of finger sandwiches, such as cucumber, egg salad, asparagus and roasted turkey, were almost too decorative to eat. There were far too many options for dessert pastries and fruit to allow a sampling of each.

A special thankyou goes to the many ladies who took the extra effort to prepare gluten-free goodies for a very appreciative neighbour coping with celiac disease. Night shows Most residents agree it was a toss up as to which light show was more spectacular on the August

long weekend – the fireworks launched from a boat in the big lake, or the lightning bolts that flashed from every direction. Both got a thumbs-up for their entertainment value. Mushroom hunting Puffballs and shaggy manes are easily identifiable fungi

growing abundantly in our area this time of year. Our fields and forests are filled with a surprising number of highly-prized and delectable fungi for those inspired to learn how to identify and hunt for them. See ROCHES… page B8

ROCHES… from page B6 Like bird watching, it is the search for some of the rarer species that enthusiasts find so invigorating. With mushrooms, however, the bonus is you can often eat your find, with due care of course. Boaters beware Boaters around the lake have spotted several partially submersed logs. Speed boats, skiers and towable craft are the most at risk and must be mindful of these deadheads, which seem to be moving with the wind and are not flagged. Algae bloom August typically

brings the thick blanket of unsightly algae that clings to parts of the shoreline around the lake. Residents have been advised this algae is a sign of good health for the lake; however, it does pose a hazard in many ways. To motorized craft, it can clog water intakes and impede propeller rotation. Kayakers and canoeist will attest that it wraps itself around paddles and rudders making self-propelled watercrafts difficult to maneuovre. Waterfowl avoid it, as should dogs and swimmers, since it impedes

movement. Because the algae floats, it picks up impurities as it travels on the lake, which is the source of its unpleasant odour. Removal of floating algae is not considered detrimental to the lake and is an acceptable solution for continued enjoyment of private property. Wildlife sightings On Aug. 7, a black bear was spotted at the east end of Boultbee Road and evidence of a bear was found at the west end.

It might be the same bear, or there are at least two in the vicinity. Ripening twin and Saskatoon berries are likely drawing the bears back to the area. Evidence of wolf has been reported at the east end of Boultbee and several badgers have been excavating ground squirrel holes all along the hillside. An elk was observed at Birch Lake by longtime residents, confirming these animals are moving back into the area. Several mule deer

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.

Puntzi Lake for Rainbows and Kokanee P

untzi Lake is a great place for a getaway. This large, deep lake offers excellent fishing and varied accomodation options. Both rainbows and kokanee inhabit these waters. Puntzi Lake was regularly stocked between 1983 and 1989, with its own brood stock of rainbow trout. The kokanee in Puntzi Lake can be upwards of 2 pounds. Spinning and trolling are

the most popular methods of fishing this lake. Anglers should get out early before the water warms up, or bring their fishfinders and a downrigger. Popular lures used include a Willow Leaf with Wedding Band and worm, and the Len Thompson 5 of Diamonds lure.

Name the Aquatic Society moose Monika Paterson Free Press

The South Cariboo Aquatic Society (SCAS) is holding a contest to name their moose mascot this month. Entry forms can be picked up and dropped off at the 100 Mile House Branch Library at 449 Birch Ave. The final drop off of forms can be made at the SCAS booth at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival in Lac la Hache up to closing time, Aug 26. Lori Fry, SCAS advertising and public relations officer, says the moose logo, designed by Lac la Hache resident Cameron Bird, was used in the society’s colouring contest last year, now needs a catchy name. She says the winner of the contest will receive a gift certificate as a token of appreciation for his or her submission. The winner will also have the honour of having his or her chosen name for the moose being used for future

advertising and promotional purposes. Fry encourages everyone to get involved and says she knows there are many creative and talented people in the community. Noting the society was formed four years ago, Fry says the current contest is another step to keep the awareness of getting an aquatic centre in 100 Mile House. A mascot namereviewing panel will make its decision once it has a chance to look over all entries. The SCAS will also be holding a yard sale at 258 N. Birch Ave. in 100 Mile on Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bottle and can donations may also be dropped off there. Proceeds from the sale will be used

to offset society operating expenses,

including advertising to create awareness of the project. For more information, contact Fry at 250-395-2452.

What are the proper humidity levels in a house? The humidity of a home must be maintained at a healthy level. Relative humidity levels below 25% are associated with increased discomfort and drying of the mucous membranes and skin, which can lead to chapping, irritation and sore throats. Low humidity increases static electricity, which can cause discomfort and can hinder the operation of computers and paper processing equipment.

Total Living Area: 1522 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

High humidity levels eliminate static electricity, protect plants and preserve your furniture, but humidity levels over 40 percent can cause frosting and fogging of windows, staining of walls and ceilings, peeling paint, mould growth and odours. When relative humidity is over 50 percent, airborne diseases become more difficult to control. In most Canadian cities, ideal indoor relative humidity levels are 35% in the winter and 50% in the summer. Condensation on your windows can provide a good indication of the relative humidity. You may, however, want to install a humidity sensor or humidistat to keep more accurate measurements on humidity levels. Invest in a humidifier and dehumidifier to cope with different levels throughout changing weather.

MAIN LEVEL: Great room, kitchen, dining room, 12’x14’ master bedroom with additional spacious walk-in closet and ensuite, hallway to additional bedrooms, and bathroom and convenient main level laundry. SPECIAL FEATURES: Wide front portico, covered rear patio area with double-room entry from dining room, great room and master bedroom.
