Local resident Mike Hughes was denied a grant intended for home adaptations to help keep seniors in their homes. Hughes suffers from arthritis pain when maneuvering over long stairways and other obstacles in his house.

Senior refused home safety grant Land value trumps income level in criteria Carole Rooney Free Press

Despite his low-income level, a local senior was refused a grant intended to help older and disabled residents stay in their own home because his property value isn’t low enough. Mike Hughes of 108 Mile Ranch has been refused a Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) grant for installing safety equipment in his home because his property is assessed higher than the average value in the Cariboo. “My house assessment is $248,700 and the area’s assessment average is $169,330.” The HAFI program grant assists eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities in British Columbia to continue to live in the comfort of their home. Since his income level and other assets fit the criteria, Hughes won-

SHORT TA K E S Liquor sales to minors decreasing The instances of illicit alcohol sales to youth in British Columbia are going down, following a successful year for the Minors as Agents program. In the first year of the program, 344 private liquor stores and 98 government liquor stores were tested, with an overall compliance rate of 87 per cent. Restricting minors’ access to liquor is a public-safety priority because of the serious negative consequences associated with liquor consumption by minors. When minors drink, the risk of them being involved in a vehicle crash, a sexual assault or a physical altercation all increase significantly. With heavy drinking among youth aged 15 to 24 years approximately three times higher than adults 25 years and older, reducing minors’ access to liquor becomes even more important to their safety.

Larry Knutsen and Terry Capnerhurst: NTERTAINMENT longtime friends and co-workers Monika Paterson Free Press

Larry Knutsen and Terry Capnerhurst are good friends and they have worked together for 28 years, but Larry will be retiring tomorrow (Aug. 23). When they met, Sunrise Ford was the 100 Mile House division of Lake City Ford in Williams Lake. The staff from the two locations would get together for their annual Christmas party and that is where Larry and Terry officially met in 1985. Says Larry: “You work together for the same company in different locations, and when you phone back and forth about parts, you get to know one and another. “ He started working at Lake City Ford in Williams Lake in July 1977, and then on April 1, 1986, he moved to 100 Mile to take over as the new parts manager. Larry joked that people shouldn’t take a job April 1. “You’re a fool for life.” Terry has lived in 100 Mile since 1954 and he began working for local division of Lake City Ford in May 1972. Larry notes you don’t see too many employees

One of Larry Knutsen jobs in December 1995 was servicing batteries.

Terry Capnerhurst, left, and Larry Knutsen have worked together at the Sunrise Ford parts department for more than 28 years, and Larry is now retiring. staying in a job for that many years. They have seen many changes to their place of employment, including ownership, technology and a business name change. “We just get along good. We just seem to click together as co-workers and we seem to spend more time with each other than we do with our spouses, I believe,” Larry says with a chuckle. The two have done many things together including being involved with the Junior Forest Wardens

in the early to mid ‘90’s. They began just helping out and then Larry took over as leader and Terry was his assistant, and they did this for 10 years. They have been active members of the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department for more than 25 years. Currently, Terry is the deputy chief and Larry is the assistant chief. Furthermore, they both live on the same block near the fire hall at the 108 Mile Ranch. They enjoy time camping togeth-

er and they socialize on different occasions, including birthdays. They volunteer at different functions together through the fire hall, including the safe-drive-home fundraising program. Work will be different, Terry says. For sure, it’s going to be different not having Larry come to work in the morning and us work together on the many different things that we do during the day, including making the morning coffee. “We get along so great together. I will

going to change.” Chuckling, Larry says he will be doing more camping and fishing, and go down to Terry’s at night when he is off work, bug him and drink his wine. See FORD… page A5

HUGHES… from page A1 Hughes says the therapist told him about the program grant and he applied in May, after filling out many pages of forms with his house assessment, personal banking, assets and income. “They know everything about you, what you’re worth or not worth.” All the senior’s other financial information qualified, except for the assessment, he explains. Hughes notes many

Cariboo homes are valued at more than $169,330, and since this is supposed to be the average assessment, he also questions whether a host of bare land or small cabin lots are skewing these numbers. Hughes approached Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett for help. The local MLA says she pleaded his case to Victoria while his appeal was still underway. “What has happened

is Mr. Hughes brought in some assessments from the 108. I sent them with a letter to the ministers responsible, with a recommendation to review the assessment process and to also take a look at the whole program. “I realize there is only so much money [for the program], but what has to be taken into consideration is the ability to pay based on income, so we can keep seniors in their own homes as long as pos-

sible and give them some stability.” Unfortunately for Hughes, and potentially others in his situation, the appeal was subsequently denied for the same reasons as given in the first grant refusal. He says his only hope now is that Barnett succeeds in getting the criteria changed. “Everybody I’ve talked to says it seems to be an unfair system.

“If they’re trying to keep people in their own homes, maybe they feel ... you should take out a line of credit, which, of course, depends on the mortgage you’ve got.” He adds it seems counterproductive if people are expected to sell their homes to be able to afford the equipment they need to safely manoeuvre over bathtubs, stairs and other impediments to their mobility.

Barnett notes the pine beetle hit later in the South Cariboo than in areas further north, and may also be buffered somewhat from the worst-case scenario. “We were in better shape to start with, and we also have to think about what kind of product we have. Some communities are only using saw logs, but here in the 100 Mile area, we have an OSB plant.” Making better use of forest resources is another committee recommendation, such as making it affordable for forest companies to utilize more nonsaw log fibre and including that in the annual allowable cut (AAC). Moving from landto area-based tenures, but in a gradual man-

is going to be a “long, hard process,” but has advantages beyond the investment-reapsbenefits aspect. “If you know you’re going to be in that tree farm licence for [say] 99 years, you can develop a longterm relationship with the other tenure holders [for guiding, tourism, range and others]. It actually should make things easier to share that land base.” Hadden notes First Nations land claims will complicate these tenures, as will be determining who can handle an area-based tenure.

Oil refinery proposed for Kitimat By Tom Fletcher Black Press

A Victoria businessman is heading up a proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery in Kitimat. David Black, chairman and owner of Black Press, announced Friday he wants to build a world scale oil refinery at Kitimat, B.C. Black told a news conference in Vancouver Friday he is submitting an environmental assessment application to build a â&#x20AC;&#x153;world scaleâ&#x20AC;? oil refinery on behalf of Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black. The application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office is expected this fall. The proposed refinery would be big enough to process all the diluted bitumen carried by Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Black said he has had extensive discussions with Enbridge and other players in the Canadian oil indus-

David Black try, but none has so far offered to back the project. Black said he will use his own money to finance the proposal through environmental assessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refinery and the pipeline receive approval. He has had preliminary meetings with Kitimat and Terrace councils, as well as the Haisla and Kitselas First Nations in the region. The proposed site is a 3,000-hectare Crown industrial property

FORDâ&#x20AC;Ś from page A3 Larry decided to take retirement after having a stroke and a heart attack recently. Larry says he will be taking things as they happen. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any definite plans, other than to take life day-by-day and relax. Larry has been married to Kathie for 44 years now and they will be taking a holiday, following his last day of work on Aug. 23. They have two married children Norman and Kim and five grand children. Terry and his wife, Norma, have been married for 34 years, and they have three married children - Darrel, Dennis, and Kathy and four grandchildren.

between Terrace and Kitimat. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan spoke by phone to the news conference, offering encouragement for the proposal. But Black acknowledged he does not yet have formal support from communities or investors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see myself as a catalyst to make this happen,â&#x20AC;? said Black, who first proposed the idea to the province and the industry seven years ago when he was chairman of the B.C. Progress Board. Black is working with Glenn McGinnis, a consulting engineer and former manager of the Ioco oil refinery in Port Moody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it [the Kitimat refinery] to be the cleanest and greenest upgrading and refining site in the world,â&#x20AC;? McGinnis

said. The refinery would produce 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene or aviation fuel, refined from heavy oil. Among those attending the news conference was Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations, a group in the Kitimat area that has strongly opposed the pipeline proposal. Sterritt disputed Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assertion that a B.C. refinery â&#x20AC;&#x153;solves half of the problemâ&#x20AC;? with exported oil by shipping refined gasoline, jet fuel and diesel in tankers instead of heavy crude. Those products have their own risks, Sterritt said. Black pointed out that without marine shipments of those fuels, the remote

coastal communities Sterritt represents would not be able to function. The lighter fuel products are still an environmental hazard, but they dissipate much more quickly and do not persist for many years like spilled heavy crude, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan was also skeptical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a proposal without business partners and without First Nations and local community support,â&#x20AC;? Horgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change our position [opposing] the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.â&#x20AC;? Black said the refinery will mean nearly 6,000 construction jobs over a five-year period, 3,000 permanent jobs at the refinery and tax revenue for various levels of government.

Civilian police oversight begins this fall Increased accountability, transparency and independent oversight of policing in British Columbia will come into effect officially on Sept. 10, when the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) becomes fully operational. To further prepare, IIO investigators are training at the Justice Institute of British Columbia and the Canadian Police College throughout the summer, and the

IIO is in the process of finalizing its policies and procedures to ensure investigators will be ready to respond to incidents that fall under its mandate. The IIO will have the authority to investigate incidents of death or serious harm involving a police officer in B.C. Under new legislation, police are compelled to report all such incidents immediately to the IIO.

The creation of the IIO as an independent, civilian-led office fulfils the provincial government’s commitment to implement the recommendations outlined by the Braidwood and Davies commissions and will help to further build public confidence in policing in B.C. Quick Facts: • The IIO was established under amendments to B.C.’s

Police Act. Many sections of the legislation came into force in July 2011, and the remaining sections will come into force when the office is ready to begin operations on Sept. 10. • Richard Rosenthal’s appointment as chief civilian director of the IIO was announced on Dec. 7, 2011. • To date, 26 investigators have been hired. When fully staffed, the IIO

will employ 60 staff, including investigators, management and administrative staff. • To ensure impartiality, all investigators hired by the IIO must not have served as police officers in B.C. within the past five years. For more information about the Independent Investigations Office, go to www.pssg.gov. bc.ca/policeservices/ iio/index.htm.

Tax relief available for flooding victims Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says those affected by flooding can apply for relief from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) if they are having difficulty meeting their tax obligations because of extreme weather events. “Severe weather conditions can prevent Canadians from meeting their tax obligations. Recently, Canadians from several regions, including [this riding], have had to rebuild because of severe weather events. “Our taxpayer-relief provisions ensure all Canadians receive fair tax treatment, while they are recovering from the damage resulting from flooding.” The parliamentary secretary to the National Revenue minister adds all Canadians have access to the CRA’s taxpayer-relief measures and will be considered for relief if they miss a payment or filing deadline because their lives were disrupted by uncontrollable weather events, including forest fires caused by lightning strikes, tornadoes, flooding, landslides and hurricanes. Under these provisions, McLeod says any taxpayer can apply to the CRA to have interest and/or penalties waived or cancelled in situations where they are unable to file a tax return and/or make a payment on time due to a natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. Taxpayers must submit their request in writing using form RC4288, Request for Taxpayer Relief. The CRA will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis. Affected taxpayers who have questions or concerns about the CRA’s taxpayer-relief provisions can access additional information on the CRA website at www.cra.gc.ca/taxpayerrelief or they can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. Business owners and self employed individuals can call the CRA at 1-800-959-5525.

Accounting practices change The Ministry of Education has changed its accounting practices, and as a result, School District #27’s 2012/13 budget will show a $6-million increase over last year’s budget. This is because the ministry now requires school districts to include special purpose and capital funding and expenses, as well as the regular operating budgets that were previously excluded from budget reports. This includes fund-

ing for programs, such as the Ready Set Learn, Strong Start, CommunityLINK, French immersion, aboriginal technology, Communities That Care, school-generated funds and other grants and endowments that total $4,011,453. Close to $3 million is added to the overall operating budget because the capital base budget includes amortization of capital assets, interest payments on capital leases, and capital assets budgeted to be

purchased from local capital on sites, buildings, furniture and equipment, vehicles, hardware and software. Meanwhile, funding allocated to the School district based on student enrolment will be reduced by $800,000 in 2012/13, which the SD27 will handle by using surpluses from this year’s budget. The board is expecting to have 265 fewer full-time equivalent students when schools reopen in September.

t took the surfacing of a provincial timber supply document for the general public to learn how bad the mountain pine beetle devastation really is in this province. Simply put, we’re quickly running out of trees to harvest, which is extremely troubling news for the big forest companies and the forestry-dependent communities that rely on those companies to keep rural B.C. alive and growing. This news forced the provincial government to try to come to grips with what’s going on in our forests and seek input from the public, forestry stakeholders and other forest land users, First Nations, scientists and municipal governments. Over a six-week period, the Special Committee on Timber Supply travelled around the province and held 15 public hearings. Last week, the committee members released a report outlining all of the problems that most people, who followed what’s going on in our forests for the past couple of decades, already knew. The alarms that were being set off by the CaribooChilcotin Beetle Action Coalition years ago are finally being heard – our forests are in trouble. When he was the B.C. Liberal forest minister during the time when it was obvious the voracious beetle couldn’t be stopped, Rich Coleman was saying we had to replant diverse forests and make better use of the fibre that remained. Unfortunately, his words of wisdom fell on deaf ears, as everyone was getting rich on harvesting as much beetle-attacked and green trees in their vicinity as they could in hopes of slowing the pine beetles march across the province. Now, we see Coleman’s suggestions showing up in the fibre committee’s recommendations. It calls for reducing raw log export, so there are more manufacturing jobs at home; finding ways to make more use of the “waste” fibre instead of burning it; and regenerating new forests through planting and fertilization. One fact became obvious during the Special Committee on Timber Supply hearings – all British Columbians are stakeholders in the forest industry. We’re all impacted by what happens our forested lands because it is still the lifeblood of our small rural communities. We can no longer strip mine our forests if we want them to be sustainable.

To care or not to care I was going to start this guest editorial by suggesting we’re a modest lot in British Columbia’s community social services sector. Then I realized most readers don’t know what the “community social services sector” is and that’s our problem. We have to fix it, or this will be a poorer province, and many people won’t get the chance to lead the lives — or make the contributions — that they could. We’re the people and agencies who provide specialized help, when and where people need it. We work with families in crisis, help people find jobs, deal with addiction and help people be the best parents possible. We help keep seniors in their homes, and support people with disabilities in living independent, rich lives. The diversity of our services is part of our problem. Some 64,000 people work in the sector, with even more volunteers. There are private agencies, non-profits, large and small, in cities and tiny communities. Where there is a need, we’re likely there. Our diversity is both our strength and a weakness. The public knows the players in the health-care system, and the issues. There’s a lively, informed debate that’s great for the sector, and for

SHANE PICKEN

GUEST SHOT public policy. However, that’s not true for community social services, which is a problem for the tens of thousands of British Columbians we serve. We aren’t political; we keep our heads down and work with the people who need us. However, we’ve realized we have to do a better job of explaining what we do, and why it matters because it’s important for families, communities and the province. Take one service, at the agency where I work — ARC Programs. We work in partnership with the Interior Health Authority, school districts and the Ministry for Children and Family Development to provide services for children, youth and their families. One, the Changes Program, works with youth and families in Kelowna to address drug use. It involves prevention and early intervention services in our middle schools, counselling and life skills in our high schools and treatment for addiction issues for those who need it — when they need it, and

where they need it. The principle is simple — help kids and their families before things have gone too far, and they’re lost to drug and alcohol abuse and homelessness, or crime. Providing these programs is the decent thing to do. It makes communities safer. It’s cost-effective to intervene early and avoid all the future costs — jails and health care — that come when a young life goes off the rails and it’s important for the province’s economic competitiveness. No society can afford to give up the positive contributions of all citizens. It was uncomfortable for me to write those paragraphs. I like the work and think it’s incredibly important and rewarding, but I’d rather do it than talk about it. I’m going to have to change. We’re all going to have to change. By this time next year, I hope it won’t be any problem to start a column by referring to the “community social services sector.” Shane Picken is the agency director of ARC Programs based in Kelowna, and The Federation of Community Social Services of BC president.

Time for investment in forests NTERTAINMENT

Cabin meant a lot to my brother To the editor: Recently my brother, William Sullivan, was informed by the 100 Mile House RCMP that his cabin in Lone Butte had been vandalized and then a week later burned to the ground. It wasn’t much of a cabin, but to William, it was his dream come true. He always wanted a cabin in the woods to retire to. Sadly, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia, so we, his family, know the dream would never be fulfilled completely, but to keep

the dream alive for him, we kept the cabin with his personal belongings and his fishing rod and he always talked about going there again. To receive the news of the cabin being gone was devastating to him. Anyone knowing who did this please contact the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477). Thank you to the kind neighbours who reported the vandalism and then the fire. Sharon Gerry Malakwa, B.C.

Health legislation a treatment, not a cure To the editor: Last week’s letter from Rick Turner of the BC Health Council was interesting, but misses one important point. Why are sick people paying for health services they can get for free through Medicare? There must be a difference; otherwise, people would just use the Medicare system. Anyone who has been on a wait list for health services in British Columbia will know why. The wait time for nec-

essary operations is too long, so people who can afford it are going to the clinics and paying rather than waiting months for the same services. If Mr. Turner wants sick people to stop using private clinics, he should look at faster delivery of health services in B.C. Legislating against pay-for-services clinics is treating a symptom of a greater problem, not addressing the cause of the problem itself. Ron Kelly 100 Mile House

BCGEU holding British Columbians ransom To the editor: Why are British Columbia taxpayers, via the provincial government, always held up for ransom, from government employees? Presently, we have a B.C. Liberal government that has offered the BCGEU, a 3.5 per cent wage increase over a two-year contract – two per cent in the first year and 1.5 in the second. However, it’s not good enough for the BCGEU. It requests 3.5 per cent increase in the first year, and a cost-of-living increase in the second. Manitoba and Nova Scotia have NDP governments and they are offering the government employees a two-year contract with wage freeze because of the poor economic times. It’s about time that B.C. taxpayers show government employees who is the boss. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it.

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. “In 2002, the government removed its obligation to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and it’s not what people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.”

The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only direct award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

Responding constructively to firefighters To the editor: When you dial 9-1-1 to get help in an emergency, you fully expect a quick response. In the vast majority of cases, the first to the rescue will be firefighters. People’s lives depend on them and they put their lives at risk for the rest of us every day. For several years, Canada’s firefighters have been asking three simple things from the government of Canada, and they deserve a decent response. That’s why I’ve introduced Private Member’s Motion M-388 in the House of Commons. It comes up for debate and a vote this fall. On average, 18 firefighters die in the line of duty every year. However, there is nothing in place to help provide for their families if they are killed or become permanently disabled while on

the job keeping Canadians safe. Motion M-388 proposes a one-time $300,000 benefit for firefighters (and for other “public safety officers”) who perish or become disabled. In their work as “first responders” during public health emergencies, such as influenza pandemics, firefighters will often come into contact with infected individuals. Like doctors, nurses and other front-line health workers, they need priority access to vaccines and other medications to keep them as safe as possible in the line of duty. Federal guidelines don’t currently provide for this, and Motion M-388 corrects that defect. Finally, while most people get out of burning buildings as fast as possible, a firefighter’s job can be the exact opposite.

To save lives, they sometimes need to run right into the teeth of a blaze. Certain building materials and techniques can result in fires burning faster and hotter, thus endangering firefighters’ lives, especially during search-and-rescue operations. Motion M-388 calls for firefighter safety to become an objective of the National Building Code. These are three modest proposals. They respond to thoughtful, rational requests coming from Canadian firefighters. Please encourage your member of Parliament to support Motion M-388 – to help look after the courageous firefighters who look after all of us in times of emergency. Ralph Goodale Deputy leader Liberal Party of Canada

Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. Antibiotics have save millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely.

RCMP traffic services kept busy POLICE REPORT 100 Mile RCMP responded to 79 complaints and calls for service this past week.

Excessive speeders There were three incidents of excessive speed reported during the past week. The speeds ranged from 53 to 73 km/h over the posted speed limit. The vehicles were impounded and the drivers were charged. None of the drivers were from the 100 Mile House area. Failing to stop On Aug. 19, 100 Mile RCMP respond-

ed to a collision at the intersection of Dawson Road and Park Drive in the 103 Mile. The female driver of a Chevrolet Colorado had pulled onto Dawson Road and impacted a GMC pickup, which was attempting to turn onto Park Drive. None of the occupants from either vehicle were injured. The Chevy received significant damages and was towed from the scene. The driver of this vehicle was issued a violation ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign. Failed test twice On Aug. 18, police were conducting an impaired driving roadside check at the intersection of

Canim-Hendrix Lake Road and Highway 97. The driver of a Toyota Four-Runner displayed symptoms of liquor consumption when talking to the officers. An approved screening device was administered and the result was a fail. The driver requested a second roadside test, which was administered. The result was also a fail. The driver met the criteria and was subsequently issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition. The vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. Stolen vehicle recovered On Aug. 10, 100

Mile RCMP received a report that a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer had been stolen overnight from outside a business in 100 Mile House. The vehicle owner was contacted and confirmed that it had been left in 100 Mile House and it had not seen since it had been dropped off. The vehicle information was entered as stolen on the police database. On Aug. 16, RCMP received a report of a vehicle being operated in an erratic manner travelling south-bound into 100 Mile. Police intercepted the vehicle, as it came into town. The driver appeared to be avoiding the traffic stop. The vehicle pulled onto Alder Avenue

where it was met by other police cruisers and the driver was stopped and detained. The plate number and vehicle identification number confirmed the vehicle was the same one that had been reported stolen a week earlier. The driver was arrested for possession of stolen property and he was also charged with a number of traffic offences. Charges of possession of stolen property are being recommended to Crown against a 51-year-old Vancouver man. The investigation is continuing.

A break-and-enter at a show home in the new Blackstock Estates subdivision resulted in the loss of a houseful of brand new furniture. Tim and Julie Ruscheinski of Rusch Enterprises Ltd. built the show home on Forest Ridge Road in partnership with subdivision developers Blackstock Enterprises. Julie says the stolen furnishings belong to Brand Source Furniture in the adjacent Pinkney Complex. “They were nice enough to stage the home for us.” The theft occurred sometime before the morning of Aug. 14, but Julie says she suspects it occurred shortly before that because the property is checked regularly to water the plantings and maintain the grounds. “We put a lot of pride into that place. It was pretty discouraging.” She explains there was no damage, thank-

fully, but it was “pretty frustrating” that such a thing would happen in an area where she frequently sees people walking by. “Although it is a show home, the house is for sale. It’s in the 55+ [resident age] complex.” As the general contractors for the project, Julie and Tim are looking at their insurance to confirm if it will cover the losses, she adds. Brand source owner Wendy Wormald says the value of the stolen furniture is in the range of $10,000. “We’re disappointed to see this happen in our community, absolutely,” says Wendy. “If anybody has any information, we’d sure appreciate them calling in with that information.” If you have any information on this breakand-enter crime call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will remain unknown.

TUNDRA by Chad Carpenter

“We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.”

Two local politicians are inviting nominations of deserving individuals for the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is one of them, and she says it’s a good opportunity to recognize an outstanding member of the community. “As MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin, I have the honour and privilege of nominating four members of our riding to receive a commemorative medal for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.” Send your nominations to her, Barnett says, and she will go through the applications carefully to select four exceptional members of the Cariboo-Chilcotin to be considered for a Diamond Jubilee medal. “Do you know an individual who has helped build up our community? Someone highly respected, who has distinguished his or herself through sustained contribution? I want to hear about it.” Local nominations will be accepted until Sept.15 to Barnett’s office via mail to 7-530 Horse Lake Rd., P.O. Box 95, 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0 or e-mail Donna. Barnett.MLA@leg. bc.ca. K a m l o o p s -

Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is also accepting nominations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. She has an earlier deadline of Sept. 1, however, which McLeod says was set in order for an independent panel to assess the nominations. “There has been a tremendous response to the call for nominations. However, I want to make sure that everyone knows that the deadline is right around the corner and to get your nominations in now.” All constituents may contact McLeod’s office to recommend potential candidates for the medal. To nominate an individual for this honour through

McLeod, call the Kamloops office at 250-851-4991 or e-mail cathy.mcleod. c1@parl.g.ca. Among other eligibility criteria, a person must have made a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada. It can be awarded posthumously, as long as the recipient was alive on Feb. 6, 2012, the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne. Visit www.gg.ca/ diamondjubilee for a full outline of eligibility criteria. The medals will be presented to approximately 60,000 Canadians in October.

It was 1862 when a man by the name of Charles Adrian preempted a parcel of land at the presentday 70 Mile House and built a roadhouse. It provided services to people seeking their fortune during the Cariboo gold rush and was a frequent stop for stagecoaches and later, motor cars that plied the Cariboo Highway in increasingly greater numbers. A community grew up around the roadhouse and continued to hold strong even after the old roadhouse burned down in 1956. Since that time, there have always been stores and other services in the location and for several years a large sawmill fueled the local economy. While the centre’s boundaries did not expand greatly, the heart of the community has remained strong and several generations from early pioneers remain in the 70 Mile House vicinity. Now, in 2012, the community celebrates its 150th birthday and part of that celebration is a big day-long party slated for Sept. 1 at the 70 Mile House Community Hall. It’s being hosted by the 70 Mile Community Club and organization president Miriam Livingston says it’s going to be a good time and educational too. Things get rolling at 9:30 a.m. with an opening ceremony where ThompsonNicola Regional District Area E (Bonaparte Plateau) Director Sally Watson will welcome people to the celebration. At 10:30 a.m. there will be a sheep herding demonstration outside with a B.C. champion border collie and following

A trundle barrow, similar to the one at Historic Hat Creek Ranch, will be on display during the 70 Mile House birthday party at the community hall, Sept. 1. Fortune seekers would often use this kind of barrow to cart their possessions along the old Cariboo Waggon Road to the gold fields. that, a tai chi demo. Starting at 11:30 a.m. people of every age can participate in a host of fun games and activities including tug-of-war and water balloon toss. Children can also decorate for themselves a “Good Luck Horseshoe” which are real horseshoes that were used several decades ago on a guest ranch. Everyone will be invited to have a piece of a giant birthday cake when it’s cut at 2 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. demonstrations of the pioneer way of life will commence with butter churning, clothes washing, a trundle barrow demo and a historical talk by Stallard McConnell who was born in June of 1927 at the 70 Mile Roadhouse.

Livingston anticipates seeing several descendants of pioneer families at the party and expects they too may have stories to tell. “We’ll be unravelling history as we go.” A large collection of historical photos will also be on display in the hall. Live entertainment outside will be ongoing throughout the day and Livingston suggests that people might wish to bring a

lawn chair and make themselves comfortable. All kinds of vendors will be on site as well, including a concession. The day wraps up with a pig roast dinner at 6 p.m. and tickets for that are $15 for adults and $10 for youth under 12 years of age and seniors 65 and over. They can be purchase at 70 Mile General Store. For more information, call Livingston at 250-456-7531.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) has received $15,000 from the province for local motion picture promotion. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented the cheque to CCCTA president Pat Corbett on Aug. 6. Barnett says the annual funding was previously administered by the City of Williams Lake for motion picture product support services in the region. Amy Thacker, who is the CCCTA’s chief executive officer, says the money is used to support response to film inquiries by the B.C. Film Commission. “Part of that is imagery, and part of it is on-the-ground location and local information.” Area residents who believe they have movie-suitable locations are welcome to submit photos or video for potential use in the image bank, she notes. “If people in communities, specific resorts, or anybody interested in the film industry and wants

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association president Pat Corbett was presented a $15,000 cheque by Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnet Aug. 6, on behalf of the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. It will be used for promoting the region to film makers. to send us pictures of their location… we would always take imagery and talk to the people who submit it to figure out where it fits best.” The photographs and film in its media image bank is “very different” from what it uses for tourism, she explains. The images that help draw filmmakers are sometimes scenic shots, but more typically are specific site location shots and technical angles that give the “look” they are seeking. “Think: close-

ups of a bridge, or a waterfall, or location angles. They don’t tend to be that postcard scenery, backed-off shot that gives you a sense of place that we would use for tourism.” Thacker adds any images submitted will be looked at for potential use, whether for attracting filmmakers or tourists. To submit photos or video, e-mail Thacker at amy@ landwithoutlimits. com, or call toll-free to 1-800-663-5885.

Medical supplies and equipment coverage reinstated Carole Rooney Free Press

Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says her ministry has re-examined current resources and demand, and this fall she will restore a number of medically necessary equipment and supplies for clients on income and disability assistance. These include various types of foot orthoses, ventilator supplies, bariatric scooters, apnea monitors, transfer aids and other items that were removed from the eligibility list in April 2010. She explains it is part of the “commonsense” changes the B.C. Liberal government is making for income and disability assistance programs, as part of its Families

benefits would be provided to as many people as possible. Her ministry has been “closely monitoring” the effects of these changes, she explains, and had already expanded supplements for orthoses to ensure basic mobility needs in August 2011. The recently announced changes will take effect in October. When factoring in reduced mobility and increased chronic pain, especially considering lower income people who can’t afford the medical devices they need, Wyse says he is “glad” that the government has seen fit to reinstate these supports. More information on these changes and the list of eligible items is online at www.gov.bc.ca/hsd.

Well, no – actually the government didn’t steal Mr. Wolff’s truck – but some would say they tried. Most readers already know about the British Columbia Civil Forfeiture Act which allows the government to seize property used for unlawful activity or property which constitutes the proceeds of crime. Mr. Wolff’s truck had been used to transport marijuana. In fact, Mr. Wolff pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafÀcking in June 2007 – and he was using the truck to transport the marijuana when he was caught. In the end, however, the Court held that his truck should be returned to him. We know that Mr. Wolff was using the truck for an unlawful activity – and so we might ask: why did the Court order that his truck be returned to him? The short answer is that the legislation gives the Court the right to return property to a criminal if “forfeiture of [the] property is clearly not in the interests of justice.” In Mr. Wolff’s case, it wasn’t in the interests of justice to allow the seizure because the government didn’t quite play fair. When Mr. Wolff was caught using the truck for an unlawful purpose, he wasn’t the owner of the vehicle; he was leasing it. Then, in June 2007, 18 months after he was caught, he bought out the lease. It wasn’t until December, 2007 that the government actually seized the truck. In an interesting post script to the case, after losing out on the seizure, the government tried to make Mr. Wolff pay over $6,000 in storage and transportation charges for the vehicle. The Court did not allow the government to recover that amount from him either. All of the foregoing shouldn’t persuade you that the Civil Forfeiture Act has no teeth. On the other hand, the Court has clearly said that this law is not quite black and white. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Back to school start-up supplement increases Carole Rooney Free Press

The Ministry of Social Development has increased and fast-tracked the school start-up supplement for British Columbia’s income assistance and disability assistance recipients. The supplement

is provided to assist with extra costs associated with a dependent child’s schooling, such as school fees and supplies. Families on assistance will now receive $100 for every child five-11 years (from $84) and $175 for each child 12 years and over (from $116). School District

#27 vice-chair Pattie Baker says she feels the province’s support for students and families stems in part from the local community working together. “We have a really large base of people who are committed to our children here in this community, and I think this is reflective

of that, even though it is provincial. “I know [CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett] has played a large part in recognizing the needs of the community.” The ministry has also added hardship (temporary) assistance recipients with children in school to the list of those who can receive the backto-school money. Baker adds it’s also the collective voice of the community that has made a sig-

nificant difference in some opinions about local needs. “We’re recognizing that we do have children in poverty, and as we speak out against this, I think resources are being directed that way. I think our government is listening to us.” Payments will also be issued earlier this year and were attached to the regular assistance cheque at the end of July. With the expanded benefits for hardship

Sidewalks, emissions and rezoning COUNCIL BRIEFS Following are the highlights from the Aug. 14 council meeting of the District of 100 Mile House: Sidewalks postponed The Sidewalks Capital Works Project originally slated for this fiscal year has been deferred. District administrator Roy Scott says the stalled project would extend sidewalks from Pioneer Haven on Aspen Street to connect with Birch Avenue behind Save-On-Foods. “The costs of this thing is a heck of a lot more than we anticipated initially.” The projected costs of approximately $50,000 have escalated to closer to $120,000$130,000, but he notes the sidewalks will be brought back into the 2013 financial planning process for discussion and approval. Greener community plan The district has endorsed a Community Energy Action Plan that sets targets and strategies to achieve them. District planner Joanne Doddridge says the plan covers

Roy Scott the community as a whole in an effort to implement strategies of mutual benefit inside and outside of municipal boundaries. Among the numerous actions is developing an anti-idling campaign together with the South Cariboo

Sustainability Committee. Other actions include potentially encouraging new developments to consider reduced emissions, accessibility and community gardens in their designs; carpool and truck-share programs; and active transportation initiatives. Details of the new plan are yet to be established, but she notes the district intends to “lead by example.”

BRIDGE LAKE/ INTERLAKES DIANA FORSTER 250-593-2155

Friends congregated at Interlakes Hall, Aug. 8, to celebrate the life of Sheridan’s Norm Boulanger who passed away in December 2011. Norm’s parents were from Seattle but they had spent all their free time at Sheridan Lake since 1946 and, in 1986, Norm retired here permanently after becoming a Canadian citizen. Norm’s oldest daughter, Jennifer, introduced her family from Seattle and California, and précised Norm’s life from the early days until she left home. Many of her fondest memories were of Sheridan Lake “back then” when, in the 60’s, her grandmother and father were subdividing the original homestead into what is now West Sheridan Lake sub-division. Members of the Interlakes Snowmobile Club spoke fondly of Norm. It was he who mapped some 200 kms of trails throughout Interlakes and whose maps are very much in use today. The club presented Norm with an Honourary Life Membership in 2007. Highway 24/lnterlakes Lions were also

Near the end, we’re told, Norm was happy to be in the Hospice Room at 100 Mile District Hospital which he, as a Lion, had helped furnish. In fact, Norm personally donated an oil painting, which hangs there. Norm Boulanger always seemed more Canadian than American, and he is sadly missed by many, many friends. Hall history When Irene Barkley passed away April 25, at the age of 94, it closed a significant chapter in the history of Roe Lake and District Recreation Commission, better recognized as lnterlakes Hall. While that body of volunteers had been in existence since the late 40’s, it was in 1977 that the province created “Recreation Commissions,” and Roe Lake holds the title of being the first.

The South Cariboo Garlic Festival just keeps getting bigger and better and this year is proving to be no exception. This will be the 13th annual event that showcases the stinkin’ rose in all forms imaginable and it’s being held in Lac la Hache, Aug. 25-26. From garlic burgers to fresh baked garlic chocolate chip cookies, which festival director Jeanette McCrea shared recently on air with CFJC-TV Midday Show host Susan Edgell, they’ll have it covered. There will be plenty to do, with non-stop entertainment, approximately 70 vendor booths to visit, food and features, such at the Master Garlic Chef Cook-off contest where three finalists will use their culinary talents with garlic to win cash prizes. Several community organizations will have booths where children will find free balloons and candy, have a chance to kick a soccer ball and buy a raffle ticket for a giant 1.37-metre tall teddy bear. The Lac la Hache Community Club runs the festival on an eight-hectare (20acre) site, which is located just north of town. McCrea says there is plenty of free parking and shade for

Lobsterfest tickets are going fast Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

People had better get cracking if they want to get in on the Second Annual Rotary Club Lobsterfest. It’s slated for Sept. 15, beginning at 6 p.m. at the 100 Mile Community Hall. There will only be 200 tickets sold and as of press time, more than half were sold and they’re going fast, according to Rotary president Maureen Pinkney. “Tickets will be on sale until the doors open but I’m pretty sure we’ll be sold out before that.”

The all-you-can-eat affair features fresh lobster which will be flown in live from the Maritimes, salads prepared by Psalm 23 Transition Society Casablanca Training Centre and desserts. The head cook again this year will be Royal Bank Manager Scott Saito who gained experience being involved with Lobsterfest events in his prior home back east. According to Pinkney, the evening is bound to be full of laughs. “You get 200 people crackin’ lobster, and it’s a lot of fun.” During the event, live and silent auctions will take place with many

big-ticket items like vacation packages, an ATV and tickets to a BC Lions game and Vancouver Whitecaps game on the block. There will be door prizes as well. Tickets are $75 and they can be purchased at RE/MAX Country Lakes Realty, the 100 Mile House Free Press, any Rotarian and from Pinkney by calling 250-395-0462. Proceeds from Lobsterfest will be donated to local charities and organizations and last year it brought in approximately $13,000 says Pinkney. “We’ll raise a bunch of money again this year so we can give it all away.”

Tomahawks prepare to lace up for tryouts Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It’s difficult to think hockey when outdoor temperatures are sending the mercury skyward, but the Lac la Hache Tomahawks are getting ready to hit the ice for team tryouts. The Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) squad draws the majority of its players from the communities of Lac la Hache, 100 Mile House and Williams Lake, and in an effort to attract the best talent, tryouts will be held in all three centres, says returning Coach Al Navrot. “I’m looking forward to coming to 100 Mile. I know there are some good quality hockey players just laying back and we want to see them.”

Lac la Hache Tomahawks CIHL men’s hockey tryouts take place in September in 100 Mile, Lac la Hache and Williams Lake. The tryouts in 100 Mile take place at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Sept. 15-16 from 2 to 3 p.m. In Lac la Hache, they will be at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena, Sept. 22-23 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.; and in Williams Lake,

tryouts are at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex on Sept. 8 from 8:30 to 10 p.m. and Sept. 9 from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m. Navrot says there will be a cost involved to attend the tryouts. The Tomahawks team formed last sea-

son and joined the CIHL and Navrot is expecting the return of several of the key players from the inaugural team. He is also anticipating a successful 2012/13 season. “This year is going to be better for us. We

have some credibility and people don’t expect us to fail like last year. We are experienced and durable and will have a good selection of players.” The Tomahawks finished the 2011/12 season in seventh place among the 10

CIHL teams. The league configuration will take on a new look this year with the departure of the Hazelton Wolverines. It equalizes the three divisions with three teams apiece. The East division includes Quesnel,

Lac la Hache and Williams Lake; the Central division has Smithers, Houston and Omineca; and the West division is made up of Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert. Season-end playoffs will feature the top 8 teams divided into two divisions. The Tomahawks’ home opener is against Williams Lake at Rolf Zeis arena Oct. 6, starting at 7:30 p.m., and a second home game is on Oct. 13 against Prince Rupert. Navrot says the team is happy to have its home ice in Lac la Hache where low ice costs have helped to enable their success. “Lac la Hache was a life-saver for us last year and the reason we were able to survive. The community has been really good to us. They’re first class.”

Gymkhana competitors saddle up for awards The second in a series of two gymkhanas hosted by the Watch Lake/North Green Lake Community Association this summer was held Aug. 11 at the Green Lake gymkhana grounds. The event drew 55 competitors, including seven youngsters who delighted the crowd by riding the race patterns at their own speed in the lead line division. At the end of the day, season aggregate awards were handed out and in the senior division, the winner was Nicole Hoessl with 22 points and Punky Mulvahill was the runner-up with 14. Tianna Johnny was the intermediate division champ with 26 points and Taylor Stewart accumulated 19 to finish as runner-up. The junior aggregate award went to Taylor McCullough with 22 points and Kailey Dube with 20 was runner-up. John Noskey reeled in the peewee aggregate with a total of 26 points and Wyatt McCullough was the runner-

up with 21 points. Event volunteer Mark McMillan says riders came from Aldergrove, Chilliwack, Courtenay, Prince George, Williams Lake, Clinton and from all over the South Cariboo to compete in the decades-old event. Winners from first to third in each event were: Senior Pole bending: Mulvahill; Hoessl; and Laura Sperling. Stake race: Hoessl; Mulvahill; and Dennis Gunn. Barrel race: Hoessl; Gunn; and Lana Shields. Keyhole: Gunn; Bridget Rosette; and Sperling. Day aggregate: Hoessl. Runner-up: Gunn. Intermediate Pole bending: Johnny; Stewart; and Sarah Gilmour.

The heat was on during the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League tournament when Sanford and Dillman Hornets took on Kelowna Merchants in the Sunday final at Lumberman’s Park, Aug. 12 Temperatures hovered near 30 C, which didn’t aid in the Hornets’ attempt to snuff out Kelowna’s fire to win. The Merchants headed into the final with five wins and no losses in the two-day tournament, while the Hornets, with Reg Hooper on the mound, had one win, a tie and two losses. Hornets captain Rob Sanford says his team felt optimistic entering the game. “At the beginning, we felt we had a chance, but we had to get runs on the board, which we didn’t.” The optimism held until the bottom of the sixth inning when Kelowna held a marginal 4-1 lead. Sanford says the game went sideways from there when the Hornets’ catcher was ejected from the game after questioning the umpire on three or

Wilkie wins Charity Hole-in-One Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

There wasn’t a million-dollar winner again this year in the Psalm 23 Million Dollar Charity HoleIn-One Contest at the 108 Golf Resort, Aug. 10-19. However, the top 10 contestants shared in mountain of prizes valued at $4,600. To win the cash grand prize, contestants had to sink a hole-in-one at approximately 170 yards on hole #10 during the Aug. 19 final. Defending champion Shane Wilkie of 100 Mile House came 34 feet 10 inches short of that mark but still claimed first place for the second consecutive year. His winnings included a custom pocket watch, valued at $500, a handmade leather gun case, a winter jacket, a golf club and a gift certificate for a local restaurant. Wilkie had to use the back door to advance

The Psalm 23 Million Dollar Charity Hole-In-One Contest was a great success even though the grand prize could not be awarded. Gathered for a photo are event co-ordinator Marvin Declare, left, third-place winner Miles Bucknell, champion Shane Wilkie, second-place winner Peggy Pukacz and sponsor Leon Chrétien of Sunrise Ford. in the competition after not making a qualifying shot during the quarter-final qualifier period. As last year’s champion, he was allowed three free shots in the quarter-final anyway, which brought success and the ticket to move ahead. Second place went

to Peggy Pukacz of Williams Lake who landed her ball 135 feet off the mark. Miles Bucknell of 100 Mile House was third. Approximately $1,000 in prize merchandise was awarded daily Aug. 10-18 during the qualifiers, and in total,

some $14,000 worth of merchandise was given away during the competition. This year’s event featured a new competition for businesses and the Business Cup winner was Bell-EAcres Recreation Golf Course of Williams Lake. The 108 Golf Resort took second

place, and third went to Psalm 23 Transition Society. The event attracted about 25 contestants each day and raised $5,100 for the society, which president/ executive director Marvin Declare says was a nice improvement over last year’s $3,400. Six hole-inones were sunk over the course of the nine-day qualifying period. Declare says the event was a success in many ways other than just raising money. “It was a real enjoyable day watching youth and families come out. The students of our program were there every single day and they worked hard and benefited by learning to live with life situations. They got to meet members of the community and were able to feel appreciated in that respect. “For us, it’s all about building relationships.”

Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department (GLVFD) members had a great turnout at their community gathering and fundraiser at the fire hall, Aug. 4. Many locals met with GLVFD members and chatted with neighbours, while enjoying some lunch, bidding on silent auction items, and purchasing sweet treats from the bake sale table.

Many attended Greeny Lake Community Day The Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department (GLVFD) held its annual community day at the Timothy Lake Road fire hall, Aug. 4. The great weather encouraged more than 200 people to make their way to the hall throughout the day where they enjoyed good food, met their neighbours and got to know the GLVFD members. Many children joined their

parents on the outing and they enjoyed sitting in, and examining, the fire trucks. GLVFD members Bob and Sue Fox said $2,700 was raised from the concession, bake sales, 50/50 draw, and the silent auction. It was a very successful day, they say, thanking everyone for their contributions and hard work.

CrimeStoppers helping TELUS British Columbia CrimeStoppers is partnering with TELUS to battle against metal theft in the province. Citizens with information about metal theft can provide secure, anonymous tips by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by logging on to www.bccrime stoppers.com. CrimeStoppers tipsters are never identified. They never have to provide a name, phone number or e-mail address. They never have to testify in court, and they could receive a cash reward of up to $2,000 upon an arrest and charge. Last year, thieves stole live TELUS cable 380 times, more than once a day on average. Each time, they cut off people’s access to 9-1-1, putting their very lives at risk. CrimeStoppers of the South Cariboo president Al Blannin says she thinks it’s a good idea to get

this information out to the public. “I’m not aware that it is a problem in our area – at least not yet anyway. It might migrate here eventually, but lets hope not.” What to look for • Metal thieves often try to disguise themselves as legitimate technicians. Thieves may use an unmarked white

van, while legitimate TELUS vehicles are always well marked. • Metal thieves may wear a reflective vest to further the illusion that they are legitimate. • Metal thieves work at odd hours. A person working on a power line or on a utility pole at night is not normal practice unless there is an extraordinary situation.

PINKERTON Allan Terry

Our loving dad and biggest supporter, Terry, passed away on Wed., Aug. 15, 2012. He was surrounded by family including his two children and three sisters. Terry Pinkerton of 100 Mile House was predeceased by his father Allan Pinkerton and his mother Christine (Shepherd) Pinkerton and leaves his son Chris (Jen), daughter Becky (Kent) and sisters: Diane (Dave), Charlene (Randy) and Robyn (Ron). Terry, known as Papa, is survived by his four grandchildren: Owen, Mason, Emma and Sophie, who loved their Papa so much. He is also survived by his best friend of over 60 years, Dan (Heather), and many nieces and nephews. Terry was born in Vancouver, B.C., Jan. 8, 1943. For his entire 69 years of life, he was a man who would take risks, carve out his own path, and take no s*#t. These were the qualities that drove us all crazy, but were also the same reasons why we loved him so deeply. His children will remember him as a devoted father who was always there for them, without question. We weren’t ready for Terry to go, and all those he had touched will sadly miss him. There will be an open house on Sat., Sept. 1, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 6221 Buffalo Creek Road for those who wish to stop by. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.

Robert Lewis June 5, 1961 - Aug. 10, 2012 We are very sad to announce that ‘Bob’ passed away suddenly in Squamish on Aug. 10, 2012. He became part of our family in September 2009 when he lived with us in Bridge Lake, B.C. Bob loved eagles, ﬁshing, trains and eating, but most of all he was the ‘helper bee’ for anyone and everyone. Even though his birth family is back East, he is survived by his two loving adoptive families here in B.C. - the Perrins and Sokolowskis. Bob had many challenges throughout his 51 years and we are very happy that his future now is without judgement and full of peace. God Bless you and sleep well, Bob - you will be missed dearly. A celebration of life will be held at his home: 7407 Johnstone Road, Bridge, Lake, B.C., on Aug. 26, 2012 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. A special ‘Thank You’ from Bob’s friends and family to everyone who was there and tried to help him - our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

The memory of a good person is a blessing. Proverb 10:7

SORTOME Jon Howard

Nov. 25, 1959 - Aug. 8, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, inlaw, cousin and friend. Jon was born and raised in Kimberley, B.C. He graduated from Selkirk Secondary High School and attended the University of Victoria where he received his degree in economics. He was employed by the Royal Bank in Courtney, B.C., where he met his future wife while hiking in the mountains. After a transfer to the Yukon, Jon and Marcia were married in Prescott, Ontario in 1990. In 1994 they relocated to 108 Mile Ranch with son, Connor, and awaited the arrival of daughter, Lauren. Jon became a paramedic and dedicated himself to helping others, supporting his children’s activities and the community. Jon’s love of the outdoors, nature and travel never waned. He enjoyed biking, hiking, tennis, hockey, and camping with his family. On a climb in the Rockies with his son Connor, the steep icy slope caused a fall and Jon lost his life doing what he loved to do. Jon will be loved and missed forever by the love of his life, wife Marcia McMurtrie; son Connor, daughter Lauren, mother Lorna, sister Sherry Waites (Mike, Jordan, Amara), birth mother Carol, and half siblings Kim, Karen, Andy and their families and canine friend Jethro and special friends Pat and Mark Seilis. He is also survived by his father-in-law Michael McMurtrie (Jeannie Brown) in England, his mother-in-law Bridget McMurtrie, brother-in-law Nigel McMurtrie (Carol, Carisa, Bryna), and Paul McMurtrie (Roberta, Stewart, and Moira) and a host of relatives in England, Sweden, Norway, and the U.S. Jon was predeceased by his father Clarence and several uncles and aunts. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to the Jon Howard Sortome Memorial Scholarship (c/o 5724 Simon Lake Road, 100 Mile House VOK 2E1), the SPCA or a charity of your choice. A celebration of Jon’s life for family and friends took place in Kimberley on August 16th.

Lithograph artists, Roy, front, and Olga Tomlinson reminisce about the steps involved in creating Roy’s last print, Primal Force.

Olga continues to paint detailed ornamentation on harpsichords hand-crafted by her son.

Litho artists reflect on rewarding careers Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Long and rich art careers have gone fullcircle for Olga and Roy Tomlinson of Sulphurous Lake. The couple is best known for their handpulled lithographs which can be found in collections all over the world, but lithography is not where they started and

not where they wrap up their artistic endeavours. It has, however, been the highlight. The pair met as students at Ontario College of art in the late 1940s where both studied painting and Roy carried on to work in lithographic trades while Olga further explored drawing and painting. By 1974, a shared interest in lithography

had grown enough that they built a pressroom in their home and began pulling prints the following year. Their artistic focus clearly set itself on lithography and in 1980, they purchased a large circa 1960 flat bed press for the studio. It was massive, measuring three metres long and one metre wide and weighing close to 550 kilograms.

Although the art of lithography was more than 250 years old at this time, there wasn’t much information available so much of what they learned was self-taught. Adding to their frustration was that not many people understood or could appreciate the process of creating litho prints so Roy and Olga had to also work hard to educate potential buyers and create a mar-

ket for their art. It meant years of driving to various art shows and transporting a small litho press so they could demonstrate the timeconsuming process. “There weren’t many artists doing litho and I can’t think of any who did the entire process,” says Roy, explaining that normally artists would design the work and have it processed by a com-

pany that specialized in making litho prints. From beginning to end, the process is tedious and cumbersome. A key image and several separation images are drawn onto smooth limestone tablets with a grease pencil and applied acid washes etch these areas and make them ink sensitive. See ART… page B2

Emily Carr benefits from print press ART… from page B1

Reproduction is achieved on the basis that oil and water do not mix. Based on this principle, an oil-based ink is applied to the tablet where it bonds with the etched areas and is repelled by water which is applied to the unpainted areas. In the case of a multicoloured image, a separate drawing must be made for each colour and the same piece of paper placed precisely on the inked stones for the transfer. Cariboo Stone Press was the name given to their printing segment of the operation and between 1975 and 2004 the Tomlinsons processed 140 titles. Each print could involve up to 20 press runs depending on the amount of colour detail. To retain value for their art, a minimal number of prints were made for each title and the tablet images destroyed. Roy’s last print, “Primal Force” was pulled in 2004 and there were only 10 made. A couple of years later, the monstrous press found a new home at Emily Carr University of Art + Design where it is

now used in the classroom. “It was sort of the end of an era for us, but we were physically tired and it was time to let it go,” says Olga who joins Roy in disappointment that their knowledge of lithography has not been passed on. She says that despite constant effort, they were never able to interest anyone in learning the art from them. Emily Carr University has granted them an open invitation to use the press whenever they wish and Roy wonders if he will ever have the opportunity to print his last unfinished design titled

“

It was sort of the end of an era for us, but we were physically tired and it was time to let it go.”

“Continental Drift”. Meanwhile, he has gone back to his easel and first love, painting. He misses the freedom he experienced in printmaking, but enjoys painting none-theless. Olga has also picked up her paint brush once again but her interest lies in the elaborate decoration of harpsichords hand-crafted and sold world-wide by their son, Craig

FUNDRAISER DINNER & SILENT AUCTION

Olga Tomlinson Tomlinson. “When I’m busy doing harpsichord painting, I don’t miss print-making, but when I go into the print room, yes,” she says. For more than 25 years the couple’s

home also served as a gallery where the public was always welcome to enjoy their highly acclaimed art and interesting conversation. It’s where their legacy to the world was spawned and nurtured, and at different times under the lens of television documentarians who have preserved that legacy on film. They have changed with the times, though, and now the gallery

can only be viewed in virtual form on the Internet at www. tomlinsonart.com. It’s in no way an indication that their passion for printmaking has dwindled, but rather, a part of an evolution that they have embraced and one that has governed their lives as artists. Without a doubt, discussing the subject still lights a fire in their eyes and puts a spring in their step.

It looks like 100 Mile House is going to the dogs on Aug. 25-26 when the Cariboo Agility Team (CAT) brings their annual dog agility trial to Lumberman’s Park. The action takes place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25 and 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26. The Agility Association of Canada sanctioned event will see approximately 50 dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities test their speed and know-how on a variety of obstacle courses. CAT president Roxanne Ziefflie is welcoming the public to come and join them for an entertaining event that she says will surprise many people. “It’s quite amazing to see how talented these dogs are and it’s always a bit of an eyeopener for people when they

Forrest, who she says will be fun to watch. “Flat-coats can be quite entertaining and a handler really has to have a sense of humour.” Ziefflie classes many of the participating dogs and handlers as weekend warriors but several have also recently competed and placed at national competition. Those competing in 100 Mile House in the masters division will come under the eye of guest judge Christine Woodley from Aldergrove while Ziefflie will judge the lower levels as they run through obstacle courses for time and accuracy. There will be standard runs which involve every piece of equipment like tunnels, jumps, A-frames, teeter-totters, weave poles and more. Courses are laid out differently at each event so success depends on a dog’s ability to carefully follow voice commands and body sigNEW nals from its handler.

An event called gamblers requires a handler to maintain distance between them and their dog while it completes a small course on its own and other classes see the dog working alongside the handler, responding to commands under direct control. The steeplechase is a speed event with obstacles and Ziefflie says it’s all about the fastest dog. “It gives dogs an opportunity to go all out where time is the main factor rather than faults.” The purpose of the trial is to allow dogs to accumulate qualifying scores that will move them up in the rankings. A total of three qualifying runs under different judges are required for a dog to advance and earn titles. The trial will feature handlers and their dogs from Prince George, Kamloops, Vernon and other centres in the Interior as well as a small contingent from the South Cariboo.

El Caballo

For some people, having a restaurant specializing in two different nationalities may be strange but for Karina and Gerardo Cibrian, who have owned and operated El Caballo for over 10 years, the house specialities come from their nationalities and the fact that both their families were restaurant owners. Karina moved to 100 Mile House with her family from Germany 26 years ago and met her future husband, Gerardo, (who moved here 14 years ago) while taking Spanish classes in Mexico. El Caballo has an intimate atmosphere, where couples and families alike can be comfortable with a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant also boasts a beautiful patio. El Caballo offers a varied menu and weekly specials, for dine-in or take out. They have a fully stocked bar (the fresh fruit margaritas are heavenly), as well as a full wine menu. El Caballo also offers catering. Visit El Caballo soon at 909 Alder Ave., they are open 11:30a.m. -10p.m., Monday to Saturday and 5 to 10p.m., on Sundays. For more information call 250-395-1922.

John Gibbs of Central Cariboo Disposal Services has his work cut out for him cleaning up the overflow garbage on the August long weekend from the Lone Butte transfer station. Even with emptying the bins two and sometimes three times a day, when the garbage is not pushed down into the bottom of the bins, things can get piled up and end up leaving a mess to be cleaned up.

The countdown is on! Hate to be the one to break the news, but school will be starting up in just a couple of weeks! Being a homeschooling mom myself, our family has a little more flexibility on our start date, and we quite enjoy going camping on the first week of September while everyone else is catching buses and making lunches. Before you need to get your home on the back to school routine, I hope you can fit some beach time in with the children as time is ticking.

Every year at this time, a feeling of autumn drifts through the lingering summer days. On the day that I visit Marg Huber, wafer pickles are the latest addition to her supply of canned goods for the winter ahead. Marg learned to preserve all sorts of food in the kitchen of a prairie farm near Seamans, Saskatchewan. “Mother canned whatever she had,” Marg says, “chicken, pork, whatever was available. Lots of saskatoons. We kids did the picking. Each of us had a dress with

things: dills, mustard and sweet pickles, beets, beans and carrots, zucchini relish and so on. She no longer has a garden but shows me pickles made from garlic and cucumbers grown in the large greenhouse she and Frank maintain. Marg preserves food for her family but the bounty of her work is enjoyed by far more people. If she hears of anyone who is sick, down on their luck or in need of a bit of cheer, a “care box” of her wonderful bread and rolls, canned goods and a bag or two of cookies, is dropped off on her way to town. Over the years hundreds of people have received a care box.

Dear Canimites Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high summer at Canim, Hawkins and Mahood lakes, with families gathering in reunion, cars jamming the driveways, barbecues at full thrust and more fun on the water than you can shake a water ski at. Annual picnic If you want a great community picnic, talk to the Hawkins Lakers. They just took gold in the community picnic throw. The August long weekend Sunday saw a large crowd of residents, friends and visitors gather on the spacious lawn of Bob and Fran Campbell. Though the gathering was formally a fundraiser for the Hawkins Lake Volunteer Firefighters Association (HLVFA), it seemed the highspirited crowd of 150 was just having a lot of fun with the events and sitting with others to eat, chat, trade quips and laugh. Two long rows of

Tim Wasilieff served up a barbequed hamburger to Joyce Bradshaw at the Hawkins Lake community picnic Aug. 5. tables and chairs were set up under sunshades for the guests by a team of fire fighters aided by Foster Dutton. Another line of tables was laden with salads, beans and baking, leading to three barbeques operating at full blast to keep up with the crowd. Harvey Ostroff, Phil Kline, Ray Mattick and Don Miller aided finishing Chef Tim Wasilieff. One hundred and forty burgers, 100 hot dogs, and many veggie burgers came off the grills. To the delight of the children, and young-at-heart, Greg Stewart started the pumper and with water and soap, greased up the slide which ran about 40

Quesnel Lake Always On

uesnel Lake, set among the Cariboo Mountains, offers some of the finest wilderness experiences in the world. The lake has three arms, each with a unique story to tell. The north arm has sandy beaches and an ancient cedar forest. The east arm has Fjord carved rock walls with spectacular waterfalls. The west arm stretches to the town o f

for one of their tailormade flies. These will suit anglers of all skill levels. Beginners may want to try black leech patterns and egg-sucking leeches in flashy pink colours. There is no “off” time for Quesnel Lake. Each month of the season can bring exceptional rewards and huge trout. Despite its remote location, May can be one of the best times to explore this gem, as the angling pressure is low and the fish are hungry. Later in the summer, the many creek mouths offer incred-

Likely, where the lake drains into the Quesnel River. Quesnel Lake is great for both lure and fly fishing. Gear fishers can try trolling slowly along the shoals of the east arm with an apex. The bays of the west arm also offer some of the best trout fishing in the province. Fly fishers will want to stop in at Elysia Resort

ible opportunities for fish going after salmon eggs. The dropoffs are good places to stake a spot. Those exploring Quesnel Lake may want to consider a guide to make the most of the trip. A guide can help find the best fishing spots and gear, and is

“Don’t Dither, Call Diether”

Use caution on area logging roads CANIM… from page B8 headdress with a trophy cup mounted on top. She says that this is not the first time she has won a prize like this, having come second in a nail-driving contest at the Saturna Island Jamboree 40 years ago, a high achievement indeed. Peter Thomson, HLVFA President, reports that the event cleared almost $1800 for the fire department. He sends out a ‘big thank you’ to all who so willingly helped in so many ways to make the gathering such a success.

Logging Trucks According to West Fraser’s Kelly Powell, the logging trucks on the Canim-Hendrix Rd. are mainly coming out the 7200 Rd. past No Name Lake, about 20 loads a day. This haul will continue through the fall and into winter. For the next few weeks, trucks are also coming down the 610 (Lang Lake) Rd. New cutting will start in November in the Boss Creek and Hendrix Lake areas, meaning more traffic out the 6000 Rd. If you don’t have a radio to let the trucks know you are on the gravel, drive slowly

with your headlights on. Once one truck sees you, they will generally let others know to watch out for you. Sheepie and Thunder banished In case you were wondering about Sheepie and Thunder, the errant lambs who escaped their Canim Estates pen seeking freedom at Shirran’s farm, they are now happily running with the herd at a ranch near 150 Mile House. Owner Maryanna Elliott (age seven) has turned her attention to horses, receiving some kind instruction from neighbour Iztok

Pirc on his easy-going Tennessee Walking Horse mare ‘Honey’. Food rules The HLVFA has published a terrific cookbook containing the best recipes of the many good cooks of the community. I count 162 recipes in there, a banquet of ideas from appetizers to desserts, including measuring tables and notes on spices. The book itself is spiced with historical notes, photography and poetry, and sells for just $10. That’s icing on the cake! To get a copy, phone Helen Kellington at 250-397-0170.

Calendar • Community Club Dinner, Blue Sky Restaurant, Aug. 24, 6 p.m. • Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department yard sale and auction is Sept. 22, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., bake sale by Canim Lakers and friends. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

peaches and pears can turn a bit brown while you are preparing them. I make sure I have my juice ready first. I peel the fruit and submerge it in the juice. “ If anyone wants recipes or to ask me anything they can phone me.” Her number is 250-397-2287. On the long weekend Marg’s family surprised her at her

home on Bradley Creek when the whole gang showed up for a reunion. At the end of the weekend, when everyone was packing up, grandson Daniel Westhora announced he wasn’t leaving until he got his care box. Of course Marg would never have let any of them go without an assortment of goodies from her cupboard and cookie

jars. Hospitality and generosity are what Marg is about. No one ever drops by without being invited in for a coffee and something to go with it. Few people leave empty-handed. As a footnote to her canning tips she adds, “ Just make sure you put a pinch of love in everything you make.”

GROVE… from page B7 Marg says of her gifts, “If I can give a jar of fruit or jam or pickles to someone and it makes them feel better, then I feel good too.” She has little difficulty getting her jars back. She tells everyone if they want a refill they must return the jars. Marg has some tips for canning. “To make sure your jars seal properly, process them in boiling water even if you think you shouldn’t have to. If everything is already hot, it shouldn’t take long. I do quarts for twenty minutes and pints for about ten. “I take off jar rings when the jars are sealed and wipe the jars clean. “Make sure the jars are cooled right off. Store them in a cool place. “ Fruit such as

What is a humidistat and how does it work? The most common types of humidity sensors are the humidistat and dehumidistat. These devices are used to control the operation of humidifying and dehumidifying equipment to keep humidity levels within a desired range.

Total Living Area: 1569 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

Humidistats are used on humidifiers and sense the humidity level in the space in which it is installed. Good portable humidifiers have a humidistat installed on the unit and turn the unit on when the humidity level in the space drops below the setting. Humidifiers installed in your central heating equipment will have a humidistat mounted on the return air duct or on a wall in your home and operate the same as the ones on portable units.

A dehumidistat operates basically the same as a humidistat but the electrical contacts open when the humidity level in the space drops below the setting of the dehumidistat controller turning the unit off. As the humidity in the space goes up the electrical contacts will close and the dehumidiﬁer will operate and reduce the humidity in the space. Another common use of dehumidistats is to operate fans to control crawl space humidity and provide ventilation.

MAIN LEVEL: Closed entry with large closet, living room and dining area. Large kitchen with pantry, large hall closet near three bedrooms, Roomy master bedroom with master bath and larger second bathroom. Convenient laundry area next to garage. SPECIAL FEATURES: 22’3” x 19’ two car garage. Recessed front entry with welcome porch, large rear porch with access from living room. Added storage in large 3-walled kitchen includes pantry.
