Town square support split Carole Rooney Free Press

The public hearing on the Rotary Town Square proposal on Sept. 6 packed council chambers with about 40 people who turned out to speak both for and against the issue. Rotary Club of 100 Mile House president Maureen Pinkney presented her club’s reasoning behind the $400,000 project, none of which is expected to come from taxpayers’ dollars. While some in attendance expressed concerns about costs, she said the $40,000 the local Rotary club is investing is seed money expected to gather further, non-government grants from club affiliations, as well as in-kind donations. The District of 100 Mile House is asked only to maintain the square once it is installed, which Pinkney noted could be as early as May 2013. However, her enthusiasm was challenged by several in attendance strongly opposed to the proposal. It resulted in a debate that became heated at times, causing Mayor Mitch Campsall to bang

his gavel on occasion to restore order. The owners of two adjacent businesses voiced disapproval of the plan that would see Third Street blocked off at the Birch Street (west) end, and some residents also had concerns. Cariboo Pump & Water spokesperson Gordon Sharpe cited negative affects on his business (at the east end of Third Street) from reduced traffic flow and parking. Pinkney said there are 20 businesses that can benefit from increased foot traffic and highway travellers would be given a greater reason to stop at the town centre. Sharpe disputed that comment, and explained his customers would simply be blocked from using the current vehicle access off of Birch Avenue. “They don’t walk, people in this town do not walk.” BJ’s Donuts & Eatery owner Allen Riley said, “it’s a nice proposal,” but he does not currently support it. His opposition includes reduced parking, restricted freight access from rerouting its parking lot entrance to a narrow, rear alleyway, and a lack of public washrooms. Pinkney explained the club wants to address these concerns, but Riley expressed doubts current schematics for alternate truck routes would work well, and said he wants to see all these issues addressed “year round” before he will consider his See SQUARE… page A3

Regional hospital board wants to talk health care Ken Alexander Free Press

The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District board isn’t happy with the Interior Health Authority’s (IHA) response to the board’s request to discuss the potential advantages of the whole CCRHD being moved under the umbrella of the Northern Health Authority (NHA). CCRHD board chair John Massier says the board sent letters to both health authorities, and forwarded to the MLAs and the Ministry of Health, on June 19. He explains the letter noted the board’s April 20 resolution to ask to convene a meeting to discuss the rationale for the resolution. Massier adds the board also wants to “begin

the process of exploring the potential benefits of and process of realigning hospital district boundaries if that is ultimately deemed to be in the best interests of the residents of the Cariboo-Chilcotin.” In his July 18 response letter, IHA board of directors chair Norm Embree noted health authority boundary changes are the responsibility of the Legislative Assembly. “Potential changes as you have discussed fall outside the authority of the health authorities,” Embree wrote, adding IHA believes it is inappropriate to engage in a discussion that is inconsistent with its mandate and provincial direction. The CCRHD board discussed Embree’s letter at its Aug. 24 meeting, and Massier says the board members

were generally disappointed with the response. He notes they got similar responses from both health authorities in that boundary changes are beyond their responsibility and is a Ministry of Health matter. The difference with the Northern Health’s response was it values the relationship it has with the six hospital districts it has across the north, Massier says, adding NHA noted how important those relationships are for capital projects, general health care and strategic planning for the future. “I think this was the piece that was missing in Interior Health’s letter. We didn’t get any indication from See HEALTH… page A7

Public NTERTAINMENT meeting discloses dissent SQUARE… from page A1 approval. “I love the idea of a Rotary clock, and people coming together, but you’ve got to give them bathrooms and [make sure] my delivery guys are accessible.... This is really messing up my flow of traffic for my deliveries and my own customers.” Other comments ranged from reserved to emotional, while asking questions or expressing concerns about maintenance costs, vandalism and winter impacts. Some recommended finding another location, such as an empty lot located at Fifth Street and Birch Avenue. Local businessman Konrad Schmid-Meil drew applause when he spoke passionately about regaining community strength with the proposal. “All towns have a heart,” he said, adding that is why town squares are located centrally in municipalities throughout the world.

At the Town Square public meeting, Rotary Club of 100 Mile House president Maureen Pinkney, right, faced some business owners concerned about closing off Third Street. Others who spoke in favour of the plan also spoke. “Wake up, people. Our town is not prospering anymore. We are sleeping, we are sleeping it to death.” Similar positive sentiments about a town square preserving the “heart” of 100 Mile House were echoed by business owners Greg Messner, Marina Cecil, Tom and Shari Bachynski and others. Messner said opposing a town square because of a few parking spots for businesses is “selfishness.” “It’s part of life if you have to walk a few blocks or half a block to have a town square ... with the winter spirit, the summer spirit,

and not just a sani-dump at the end of town. Because, that’s sort of the hub right now.” Others at the meeting said a $400,000 gift to the town from the local service club should not be passed by. With no immediate resolution in sight two hours into the discussions, Campsall adjourned the meeting after cautioning if a referendum is needed, it will be costly and involve only residents of 100 Mile House. After the meeting, the mayor said he wasn’t surprised by the pros or the cons pointed out at the meeting, but it is “a lot to digest”

before determining the next step. “We’ll have to see where we’re going to go, and council will have to make that decision.” Pinkney added she hopes council will focus on looking at the concerns of parking and access for the two businesses, and recognize the current design will work. The washrooms are an ongoing issue downtown, she notes, and unrelated to the town-square proposal. “We feel confident that the only two problems have been addressed, so we don’t see that there are any outstanding problems with the town square.”

Mill fire doused with extensive, mutual effort Carole Rooney Free Press

A fire at the Ainsworth OSB plant Sept. 6 had 36 firefighters from four fire departments working exhaustively to battle the blaze in several locations along the mill’s “fibre flake lines.” 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Darrell Blades says the fire broke out in the rotary screens, and while staff took appropriate action to dump the burning flake into the outdoor fire bunker, that didn’t succeed in stopping the fire progression along the line. Blades explains his crews were called out at 7:55 a.m. to the mill on Exeter Road and responded with 14

members, plus mutual aid from Forest Grove (seven members), Lone Butte (eight members), and 108 Mile Ranch (seven members) volunteer fire departments, along with a lot of equipment. Crews fought the fire as it progressed from the rotary screens into the cyclones and smokestacks, he says, adding they doused flames and embers in the dry bins and the sawdust bag house. They were working “all over the place,” but Blades notes the firefighters concentrated on the rotary screens, cyclones and bag house, and then finished up at the dry bins while Ainsworth staff assisted in other areas. “It was lots of work. Some of the guys are

pretty beat from going up and down those stairs. It’s 110 feet to the roof and a few guys made that trip a few times up and down. That’s 11 storeys [each time].” The firefighters remained on scene until about 2 p.m. when the fire was out and all the hot spots were dealt with and double-checked, he says, and left staff to complete the site clean-up. The fire chief adds the staff was left with some equipment repairs to be done before operations could resume. H o w e v e r , Ainsworth’s BC Timberlands forestry manager, Mike Kennedy, confirms the local OSB plant is now back up and running.

Early morning callout Blades adds it was a long day for some of his crew, himself included, as a callout at 1:16 a.m. the same day had them attending the fire on a 53-foot cargo trailer, carrying Coca-Cola products, that caught fire on 99 Mile Hill on Highway 97. “The rear wheels were on fire and then just the back passenger side of the actual trailer itself were on fire, likely from brakes and wheels overheating,” states Blades. Crews extinguished that vehicle fire and were back at the hall and cleaned up by 3 a.m., before being called out again a few hours later to battle the blaze at the local mill.

A Sept. 6 fire at the Ainsworth OSB plant kept three dozen firefighters from 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue and three other area fire departments working hard to extinguish it for most of the day and at numerous areas of the mill.

Lawyer e-mailing Meat Co-op shareholders payout information Carole Rooney Free Press

Members of the nowdefunct South Cariboo Meat Co-op were sent an update by e-mail last week by Centennial Law, the 100 Mile House legal firm handing the dissolution. They either have the e-mail or will receive one shortly. The letter states each of the members will be issued a cheque reimbursing membership share values pro-rated according to the remaining balance from all assets and liabilities by Oct. 10, unless they dispute the accuracy of

figures by Oct. 3. The letters and attached accounting statements are being sent from Centennial Law legal assistant Stephanie Kappei on behalf of lawyer Douglas Dent, the liquidator of the co-op. Members had purchased co-op shares under the expectation a new red-meat abattoir would be installed in 100 Mile House, but the majority of shareholders present at a meeting last November voted with a strong majority to dissolve the co-op due to financial and licensing problems.

Nurses: mandatory flu shots, mask only part of prevention Health officers support health-care worker vaccinations

Carole Rooney Free Press

British Columbia has become the first province in Canada to impose a policy for a compulsory flu shot or mask for all its health-care workers. Following the advice of B.C. health officer Dr. Perry Kendall, all health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who come into contact with patients will be required to follow the new rules meant to protect both patients and themselves. Interior Health Authority medical health officer Dr. Rob Parker has been working on this issue for more than a decade, and says the policy is necessary. “We brought in a revised policy back in 2000, where we said we ‘expected’ all health-care workers should get influenza immunization each year.” While making shots and masks mandatory was also considered back then, he says after talking to the provincial unions, it was decided not to

go that route at the time. “They thought an education campaign could be successful and we’ve been doing that for over a decade now.”

“

You’d find virus in the nasal secretions of somebody 24 hours before they started getting their first symptoms, and they’re actually infectious.”

Dr. Rob Parker

Despite encouragement and offering the shots free, Parker says the good-will and education approach “didn’t work.” Initially, the rate of wintertime flu shot compliance in IHA’s long-term care facilities went up to 60 per cent some years, but he notes it began to decline again, dipping below 50 per cent in 2011. “For our acute care hospitals, it never got that high. It was just over 50 per cent, but now it’s dropping back down to about 40 per cent.” B.C.’s health authorities looked southward to success rates in the United States where he says mandatory compliance is upwards of 90

grams that threaten nurses with discipline when they stay home sick for more than the average number of sick days....” Parker discounts reports health-care managers may pressure ill workers to continue duties, citing that most people don’t want “someone with diarrhea” in the workplace, and most health-care workers won’t knowingly go to work sick. Following the province imposing these changes, Dhillon says the BCNU met with employer representatives and is “pleased” with a resulting agreement to consult with the union on a regular basis to address its concerns as the policy is implemented. Parker adds previous influenza outbreaks have proven it is often the non-immunized nurses and aides who come down sick. “That ability to provide adequate care over the winter is affected when large numbers of healthcare workers don’t get the influenza shot. I’ve seen that over and over, winter after winter.”

full consultation and consideration of alternatives. BCNU executive councillor Margaret Dhillon says the union maintains the flu-vaccination program is most effective when it is based on education, not punishment. “Health employers need to ensure that staffing levels, eliminating hallway care and improving cleanliness are also given the full attention of the employers and the government.” Parker says the mask is sufficient for most respiratory infections, but is more difficult to manage on the job. Flu shots are a more effective measure for healthy

adults, he adds. “There’s really no harm to it.... The rates of true allergy to influenza vaccine are very rare, in the order of one in 10,000.” Parker notes it is in the health-care workers’ code of ethics, duty and obligation to ensure patients’ safety comes first. “In the vast majority who are not getting [the vaccine], they are making a choice, and I think the wrong choice.” Health-care workers with contagious infections can continue working unaware they are unwell since symptoms range from mild to full-blown illnesses, he adds. “You’d find virus in the nasal secretions of somebody 24 hours before they started getting their first symptoms, and they’re actually infectious.” Dhillon questions the health authorities’ statement that its other infection control measures include asking staff to stay home when ill. “I’m not sure how the health authorities square that with their so-called ‘attendance management’ pro-

Donna Barnett: Premier Clark’s cabinet shuffle ‘very interesting’ Ken Alexander Free Press

On the heels of several B.C. Liberal MLAs announcing they wouldn’t be seeking re-election in May 2013, Premier Christy Clark announced a major cabinet shuffle on Sept. 5. With a number of prominent longtime MLAs passing on the next election, the premier shored up the lineup with the remainder of her more experienced cabinet minister and gave former ministers portfolios and promoted a couple of newcomers. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who had made it known she wasn’t interested in a cabinet post, says she found the shuffle “very interesting.” “There are some

Donna Barnett new ones and some people who were there before are back. As long as they get the job done for us, I will be happy.” Barnett says she is very excited cabinet newcomer Ralph Sultan, 79, was made the minister of state for seniors. She adds Sultan, who was elected in 2001, is a very smart man who is a senior himself and will be perfect for this new

cabinet job. “He gets it. This is a new designation and you couldn’t get a better person to put it all together. “He understands economics and he knows what seniors need and he will listen. Things have to change because the demographics of this province are changing.” Bill Bennett, who was fired for his harsh criticism of former premier Gordon Campbell, is back in cabinet and in his former role as community, sport and cultural development minister. He will be Barnett’s boss, as she retained her role as parliamentary secretary for rural communities. The local MLA notes there are a lot of things she has been working on and still

have to be done in her riding. “My concern is I’m still dealing with this abattoir, which has not been put to bed and I will not give up until we get some common sense on this issue. If we’re going to talk about jobs, we have to keep these family operations going. “To me, that is a battle I’m not going to give up as long as I’m here.” Barnett adds Prosperity Mine is another issue that has to be supported by her constituency and the province. With the pine-beetle impact on forestry, she says there needs to be diversification in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The key cabinet appointments include Rich Coleman taking on the role of deputy premier to go along with his Ministry of

Milward is a member of 2887 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in 100 Mile. She attended the three-week Basic Leadership Course, which prepares

cadets to fill the roles of junior leaders at their home corps. They learn problem solving, time management, team building, effective communication skills to enable them to command other cadets at the 10-member squad level. They also learn rifle drill, compete in a summer biathlon, and descend from the abseil tower. Leadership skills

are a major part of a three-day field training exercise in the hills of the Okanagan Valley. During the summer, 1,150 Army, Air and Sea cadets from Western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

CCRHD wants to improve health care for residents HEALTH… from page A1 them that they wanted to sit down and dig a little deeper to find out why we would pass such a resolution.” There was some discussion about writing a letter to the health minister to express the board’s displeasure with the services provided by IHA and asking the minister become involved in a discussion regarding health authority boundaries. There was a motion, but it was later deferred for up to six months, pending a subsequent meeting with IHA. Massier says the board would still like to sit down with IHA to discuss services to CCRHD communities. “We’re trying to improve the healthcare services to our

communities, and if we’re going to do that within the structure that exists now, we’re

give us a little more information about where we have to go from here.” If the boundaries were moved, it would take 100 Mile House and Williams Lake out of the IHA and put them into the NHA with the rest of the Cariboo Regional District. Massier notes there are a couple of issues that are definitely on the radar, including the beds in Fischer Place in 100 Mile House that are still closed and the master plan Cariboo Memorial Hospital improvements in Williams Lake. Both are gathering dust, he says, adding the board would like to see things start moving along. “Those are the two major items in the two communities that really need some action.”

John Massier going to have to sit down with Interior Health and talk about why we passed that resolution and what we can do as a team to bring better health care to our residents.” Staff has been asked to prepare a report for the Sept. 14 CCRHD board meeting, Massier says, adding he will see where it goes from there. “I think that will

LAWLESS

Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Karen Disher Manny, Diego, and Sid - embark upon their greatest adventure after cataclysm sets an entire continent adrift. Separated from the rest of the herd, they use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which launches them on an epic seafaring quest. Manny and the gang are challenged like never before to become heroes and do the impossible, as they encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. And Scrat’s reunion with his cursed nut catapults him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before.

Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman “Lawless” is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family in his novel “The Wettest County in the World”, the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation’s most notorious crime wave.

espite the brave faces over the mass exodus of several B.C. Liberal MLAs, including some high-profile cabinet ministers, Premier Christy Clark and the remaining members of her caucus have to be quaking in their boots on the inside. Two of the top contenders in the leadership race – George Abbott and Kevin Falcon - are not following the anointed premier into the May 2013 election. They are not alone as there are many other government MLAs who either retired earlier, or have also decided to not run again. While some of the B.C. Liberals opponents liken it to “rats abandoning the sinking ship,” we don’t believe that’s necessarily the case, although a feeling of doom may have figured into the decision-making process. Would Abbott or Falcon be leaving politics if they had won the leadership race? Not likely. However, both these men will likely have much more productive careers in the private sector than they would toiling as politicians. A lot of these retiring MLAs have had long and busy political careers in public service in both the municipal and provincial sectors. Many are tired and they want some time for themselves and their families. A lot of them were beaten up over the Harmonized Sales Tax, and after pondering their future during the summer, have decided it’s time to hang ’em up. Premier Clark wanted to know what her caucus members’ intentions were going into the provincial election and she found out in no uncertain terms. She had to build a new and winning team if she was going to be elected as premier at the polling stations next year. Certainly, her reassuring words during the cabinet shuffle announcement that this was a “renewed cabinet ... with a renewed commitment to our priorities” ring a little hollow when we look at her restoration project. Clark had to go with the cabinet ministers with the most experience in the key ministries, and she had to even bring in people who had been banished from the inner circle to shore up the inner sanctum. It will be interesting to see how the BC Liberal Party’s resiliency stands up to this current test. It definitely won’t roll over and play dead.

Time for a fair deal For the first time in more than 20 years, the entire government of British Columbia was behind picket lines on Sept. 5 in support of a fair and reasonable collective agreement. More than 27,000 government and ICBC workers were on strike, from the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU), Professional Employees Association (PEA) and Canadian Office & Professional Employees Union (COPE) local 378. They were striking because we need a fair deal and Victoria is not listening. The one-day job action impacted many of the 1,785 government work sites in 153 B.C. communities. For one day only, public liquor stores were closed. ICBC offices that are located in government buildings and staffed by COPE 378 members were also shuttered. Public service workers, who are critical to the health and safety of the public, remained on the job. BCGEU members who are childprotection workers, correctional officers and forest firefighters were working. We have not taken the decision to strike lightly. The last government-wide strike was in 1988. B.C. has the leanest public service in Canada on a per-capita basis.

DARRYL WALKER

GUEST SHOT In 2010, with the world economy in the doldrums, B.C. government workers did their part and took two years with no wage increases. Their last increase was three-and-ahalf-years ago, which amounts to a five per cent wage cut after you take inflation into account. COPE 378 members have been without a contract for over two years, and their wages have been stagnant since 2009. Our members can’t keep falling behind the higher cost of living. BCGEU public-sector workers are asking for a wage increase of 3.5 per cent in year 1 and a cost-ofliving allowance in year 2. Non-union workers across Canada can expect average wage increases of 3.2 per cent next year, according to global consulting firm Mercer. In contrast, Victoria’s final offer to the PEA and BCGEU amounted to two per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in year 2, a further wage cut after inflation. Government workers cannot subsidize the operation of the B.C. government through continued wage cuts.

Three-quarters of British Columbians don’t want the men and women – and 60 per cent of the public service is women - on the front lines of public service falling further behind, according to a recent Environics survey. Seventyfour per cent said public sector workers should at least get a costof-living increase without having to take cuts elsewhere. A majority also supported our one-day strike. We do not want to increase your taxes. Instead, the BCGEU made several proposals that would generate additional revenue for the government, including opening public liquor stores on Sundays, which would generate up to $100 million per year. Assigning additional duties to the B.C. Sheriff Services would save money and generate revenue. In Alberta, sheriffs handle traffic duties alongside the RCMP. The successful program was doubled in size in the first year, and spawned $111 million in new government revenue in 2009/10. Expanded sheriff duties would also reduce health care costs by improving road safety, alleviating delays in courts and freeing up police to focus on the Criminal Code. The time for a fair deal for public sector workers is now. Darryl Walker is the BCGEU president.

NTERTAINMENT B.C. Liberals lack fibre inventory information To the editor: In the article, headlined Timber supply report reveals huge shortfall, on the front page of your Aug. 22 edition, CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett fails to note the recommendations made by the bipartisan Legislative committee underscore the failure of the B.C. Liberal government forest policy for the last 12 years. The committee was set up in the months following the fire in Burns Lake. Its task was to make recommendations on the mid-term timber supply in central British Columbia as affected by the pine beetle. The crisis in Burns Lake showed the B.C. Liberal government lacked both inventory data to make informed decisions and any methodology to support a community responding to a crisis in the industry. A mid-term timber supply report done for [then forest minister Pat] Bell, leaked several months ago, reported the 100 Mile Timber Supply

Area (TSA) had about four years supply of fibre, Williams Lake TSA about eight years, and Quesnel TSA about two years supply. The original mid-term supply report done for Bell made predictions based on inadequate information and, therefore, are invalid. If inventory reports are inadequate, as reported by the bipartisan committee, how do we know how long the fibre will continue to support the various communities? The B.C. Liberals are projecting a further planned cut of $40 million for forest health for next year’s budget. Clearly, they have not learned their lesson on managing the trillion-dollar asset the forests represent. The communities in the Cariboo depend on the proper management of the forest. They cannot continue to have a government that does not look after the economic stability of our area. Charlie Wyse Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate

Towns tackle modern problems

VICTORIA – Local politicians are preparing for their annual convention to be held Sept. 25-28 in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year, it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed growops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” There is no chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side-effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes

that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. As with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. Mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. Alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Tories putting youth health at risk Thoughts on shuffling cabinet To the editor: British Columbia Premier Christy Clark may have appeared to be shuffling her cabinet ministers, but she was really shuffling her dog-eared deck of tarot cards, hoping they might somehow point her in a winning direction for the upcoming provincial election. In some games played with Tarot cards, the card known as the Fool acts as the top trump. Apparently, Clark doesn’t just want to appear to be the Fool; she wants to play the Fool. She desperately wants to trump B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix. Good luck Christy, you’ll need a lot more tricks up your sleeve to have any hope of winning next spring. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

To the editor: Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod and the Conservative government are putting our children’s health at risk through their irresponsible attitude to trans fats in our foods. Trans fats increase the risk of heart disease and are estimated to be responsible for thousands of cardiac deaths annually in Canada. Unlike salt or sugars used in appropriate amounts, there are absolutely no health benefits to processed trans fats, but they cause considerable harm. The Conservative

government used to recognize these risks. In 2007, it called for the food industry to voluntarily limit the trans fat content of vegetable oils and soft spreadable margarines to two per cent of the total fat content and to five per cent for all other foods. They promised to regulate the industry if these limits were not met in two years. That two-year limit expired in 2009. Not only have the Conservatives reneged on their plan to impose regulations to protect Canadians and their children from trans fats, they are also cancelling

the trans-fat monitoring program. Trans fats must be removed from the food system. Canadians should be able to trust that the foods they and their children eat will be healthy and not cause harm. This will not only improve health, it will also relieve the strain on our Medicare system, saving taxpayers as much as $9 billion on

health care over the next two decades. The Liberal Party is committed to ensuring tough new regulations to restrict trans fats in our foods - a position Mrs. McLeod and the Conservatives once held. It is time to call them on that broken promise.

Newsbeat Around the province Did inmate order hit?

KAMLOOPS - Investigators are looking into what is believed to have been a “gangrelated hit” ordered by a Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre inmate against one of the jail’s correctional officers. That’s how the incident is being described by Dean Purdy, spokesman for the corrections branch of the B.C. Government Employees’ Union. He said the plot was uncovered on the night of Thursday, Sept. 6, while KRCC was under lockdown following an unrelated stabbing. “Within an hour of that incident, the jail received intelligence that an inmate had arranged a hit on one of our officers,” Purdy said. It is now being investigated both internally by jail staff and by the RCMP. “The current situation inside the jail is a pressure cooker right now,” he said. “The number of gang-affiliated inmates is also becoming more and more onerous.” Opened in 1989, KRCC was built to house fewer than 200 inmates. Purdy said it is routinely home to more than 320.

Man stabbed with screwdriver

KELOWNA - A Kelowna man has been released from hospital after being stabbed with a screwdriver Friday night, Sept 7. The Kelowna resident contacted Mounties at 10:16 p.m. after a man allegedly attempted to break into his residence. The victim confronted the alleged suspect, causing the him to run away. The resident chased him a short distance before the two men began to fight. The suspect, in effort to get away, used a screwdriver in a stabbing motion to get away, then fled on foot. The resident did not suffer any life-threatening injuries and was released from Kelowna General Hospital a short time later. Kelowna RCMP utilized the Police Dog Services in attempt to locate the suspect who fled the scene.

Sooner or later speeders will slow down POLICE REPORT 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 66 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Speedster nabbed There was one vehicle stopped for excessive speed over the past week. The male driver from Vancouver Island was operating his vehicle 50 km/h over the posted speed limit. He was issued a violation

ticket for excessive speed and his vehicle was impounded for seven days. Refused to blow On Sept. 8 shortly before 11 p.m., 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle rollover incident on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road near Anderson Road at Gateway. Passers-by had stopped to assist the male driver and sole occupant from the vehicle. He displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor. The man was

issued a demand to provide a breath sample into an approved roadside screening device, but he refused. His behaviour escalated at the scene and he was placed under arrest and held until sober. The driver did not possess a valid licence and he was subject to a vehicle impound. The vehicle was towed from the scene and impounded. The man was released on a promise to appear with a court date in

December. The investigation into this matter is continuing. Break-in and theft On April 16, Clinton RCMP received a report that a storage container located in the 70 Mile House area had been broken into and emptied of approximately $30,000 worth of property. On Sept. 7, after further investigation, 100 Mile House RCMP executed a series of search warrants on storage

lockers located in the 93 Mile House area and recovered 47 articles from the April break-andenter. The dollar amount of the recovered property is not known at this time. These items were all returned to the property owner. 100 Mile House RCMP have two persons of interest in this investigation who are known to be involved in break-and-enters and property-crime offences. The investigation into the matter is continuing.

Salmon trailer gutted by fire Carole Rooney Free Press

A semi-trailer loaded with eight tons of salmon was destroyed by fire on Highway

97 at Big Bar Hill, 10 kilometres north of Clinton on Sept. 5. Clinton RCMP detachment commander Cpl. Mike Eling says the call

came in at 11:20 p.m. and police responded and remained on scene for about two hours. The incident was initially reported as a

trailer on fire by the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department, he notes, which did not attend as it was outside of its fire protection service zone. “The truck driver noticed there was a fire coming from one of his rear axle tires, and he tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher, but was unable to.” Eling explains the driver disconnected the truck cab and moved it away from the trailer. He was unharmed and the trailer continued to burn along with 40,000 pounds of salmon in frozen water.

Eling says the cleanup was still underway by Interior Roads, which had attended the scene and set up flaggers to control the traffic flow. “The Department of Fisheries [and Oceans Canada] is also looking into this incident.” The loaded truck was travelling southbound to deliver the salmon to a company in the Surrey area.

Annual Terry Fox Run goes on Sunday By Monika Paterson Free Press

Plans are going well for the 100 Mile House Terry Fox Run, which begins at 1 p.m. in front of the South Cariboo Visitor Centre on Sept. 16. Run co-ordinator Janet Heine says there is a five-kilometre loop through 100 Mile House, and runners, walkers, joggers, and people on wheelchairs, scooters, and bicycles are welcome to join the event. Entrants may also choose to make a few laps around the

100 Mile Marsh Trail if they do not wish to go through town. Heine adds folks can pick up pledge forms from Safeway, Save-OnFoods, and the 108 Supermarket. Noting she is stepping down this year, Heine says she would like to see someone step forward to take over the event for next year. She adds it would be a great time to learn the ropes during this year’s event. For more information and to volunteer, contact Heine at 250791-6647 or e-mail her at heine2@shaw.ca.

As part of Invis, Canada’s largest mortgage brokerage ﬁrm, I have access to over 50 lenders and a wide range of innovative mortgage options at very competitive rates.

BEST in business at Canim Lake Canim Lake Band (CLB) is hosting an Aboriginal Business Entrepreneurship Skills Training (BEST) program at the 100 Mile Lodge, Sept. 19-Nov. 3. Supported by the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Service Canada, the free program is aimed at giving Aboriginal people the skills they need to create their own jobs and build capacity in local communities. Program co-ordinator Gabrielle Archie says CLB’s Andrea Boyce, who has a lot of experience in community service, is the training leader for the local 12-session program. Roy Christopher of CLB says the course begins by covering a

significant amount of history around native culture and why entrepreneurship is part of this culture. “One of the big things we incorporate into our entrepreneurship training is the art of storytelling.” Adds Boyce: “It is a really big part of Aboriginal history. Through every day of homework, we encourage our participants to get up and tell their stories.” Archie notes past programs have generated many successful Aboriginal-owned and managed businesses in industries ranging from heavy equipment operation and furniture manufacturing to tourism and fishing charters. Other success-

Andrea Boyce ful new business operations include native art and gifts; education and training; home and lawn maintenance; websites and computer recycling; and a cycle shop. Christopher explains the BEST program is suitable for entrepreneurs at all levels, from those who don’t yet have

an idea to those working on a plan, or even already in business. Archie adds the program offers training on identifying business opportunities and determining feasibility, and has participants conduct hands-on projects toward market research, business plans, financing and pitching their proposal to local community leaders. It also features a wide variety of guest speakers, she notes, and may potentially provide post-secondary education credit for BEST graduates. For more information or to register, contact Archie at 250-397-2227 or 250-397-2601, or visit the website at www. aboriginalbest.com.

NDP… from page A12 undemocratic.” In the 1990s, the NDP introduced Bill 84 to replace the secret ballot with a system of automatic union certification if 55 per cent of employees in a workplace signed a membership card. Philip Hochstein, Independent C o n t r a c t o r s and Businesses Association of B.C. president, says getting rid of the secret ballot removes a fundamental right from workers and strips away the advantages the current system offers. A vote offers absolute clarity the workers want to be part of the union, he adds, while forcing them to declare their positions openly by signing cards leaves room for public and peer pressure. Wyse explains there is no finalization yet on what exactly the NDP platform will contain, and it won’t be until it is released early next year, prior to the May 2013 election. However, it will contain a number measures to protect the rights of workers

and improve their safety and protection, he adds, particularly lower-paid employees who have “the least amount of power” and “don’t have protection from unions.” He notes these measures are separate from the aspect mentioned by Simpson, but part of the NDP labour package under development. “ Wo r k p l a c e s being made safer and reducing workshop injuries and deaths is another priority for us.” That entails tougher enforcement to employment standards, the local candidate explains. Once his party has decided the details, Wyse says it will present them up front for people in the province to consider before the upcoming election. He points to the difference in approach of Simpson’s acknowledging his party’s review of the labour code for still-undecided changes, as compared with how the B.C. Liberals dealt with the Harmonized

Sales Tax (HST) before and after the last election. However, Barnett says removing secret ballots from unionization is a “dangerous” precedent to set. “Is the next thing that [BC NDP Leader] Adrian Dix is going to do is say we can’t go into a polling booth and have a secret ballot for an election?” She notes thirdworld countries still fight today for the ability to have a secret ballot on anything, but Canadians are privileged to have this democratic right for everything from unions to volunteer organizations.

“Are we going to go into a socialistic system like they got rid of years and years ago in Europe? It’s very, very dangerous and people should be very concerned.” The MLA adds a “prime example” of the trouble a lack of anonymity causes is when spouses vote differently, which can disrupt their home life. “[A secret ballot] is the one private thing you have in your life that nobody should take away from you - nobody. “People better stand up and take notice because what else is in Mr. Dix’s box?”

TUTORING

Paws for a Cause annual walk set for 100 Mile House Monika Paterson Free Press

The 2012 Annual Paws for a Cause walk will be taking place at Centennial Park in 100 Mile House on Sept. 16. Local Paws for a Cause co-ordinator Margaret Barnicoat says organizers are expecting about 50 participants with dogs of many shapes and sizes. The event will begin with reg-

istrations at the park, starting at 11 a.m. The annual BC SPCA fundraising event will have dogs and their handlers make their way out of the park from the north entrance at 11:30 a.m. They will walk to the corner of First Street by Donex Pharmacy & Department Store, proceed down Birch Avenue and return to the park by around 12:30 p.m.

Following the walk, there will be games and a barbecue. The Cariboo Agility Team will put on a demonstration. Dog owners can then take their dogs through the course after the demo if they want to try the course out, adds Barnicoat. There will be prizes for the best costume, waggiest tale, tallest dog and shortest dog and owners can enter their dogs in the wie-

ner-dunking contest. Anyone can come down to the park and just “hang out,” Barnicoat says, adding folks don’t have to participate in the walk. Pledge forms are available at fascination street, South Cariboo Visitor Centre and Total Pet. Barnicoat says dogs need to be kept on a leash. For more information, contact her at 250-397-2219.

Community Choir practices resume The Eclectica Community Choir members are stretching their vocal cords once again and warming up for the beginning of a new season, with the first practice tonight (Sept. 12). Practices will run from 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday evenings at the 100 Mile United Church at 169 Dogwood Cres. Members are asked to

arrive early to register. Choir spokesperson Helen Lennox-Lau says they are always looking for new members, especially male tenor and base vocals. There are no auditions, and new choir members do not need to read music to begin, she adds, people learn as they go along. We learn all kinds of

What we want

music,” Lennox-Lau says, including Latin, classical and many fun songs. “We have a lot of laughs at our practices; it is a mix of singing and some socializing.” There is a fee of $25 for each session, which run from September to December, and See CHOIR… page A20

No two kids are alike. That’s what makes teaching both a challenge and a joy. It’s also why each student needs – and deserves – more of our time. Teachers will be working hard to give them that time. And together with parents, we’ll be urging government to help. Years of cuts have led to overcrowded classes. Our kids desperately need smaller classes, better support for students with special needs, and more one-on-one time. Every child matters. And every year counts.

Smaller classes, better support for kids with special needs, and more one-on-one time. THAT’S WHAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.

Literacy photo contest underway now By Melody Newcombe September is literacy month in Canada and Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy is hosting its Second Annual Photo

Melody Newcombe Literacy Contest. The photos entered in last year’s contest were great and showed big imagination and creativity. CCPL has decided to make the photo contest an annual event. The contest is really simple - you take a picture of someone using his or her literacy skills. So, what are literacy skills? They are the skills you use when you’re reading, writing and using math skills. This could be a cashier at one of 100 Mile House stores ringing up your order or your friend reading the 100 Mile House Free Press newspaper,

while having their morning coffee, you decide. Grab your camera and start taking pictures of your children, friends, co-workers, and neighbours. Have your pictures show us what literacy means to you. The contest will run from today (Sept. 12) to Oct. 10. The contest has three prizes for the three best photos. There is a prize for the best adult (over 18 years), for a child (under 18 years) and a random prize for third. Everyone is encouraged to enter. Once you have your photo, e-mail it to melodynewcombe@ gmail.com. It must be sent as a full-sized jpeg, meaning you send your photo in its original size. If you are sending a photograph by regular mail, send it to M. Newcombe, P.O. Box 48, 108 Mile Ranch, B.C., V0K 2Z0. All photos will be published on the CCPL’s website at www.caribooliteracy. com. Some of the photos may be used in a promotional calendar that CCPL is working on. All photos will be property of CCPL for promotional use. Do

not send photos to the Free Press. The photos must identify the person or persons in the photo and you must submit their first and last names left to right. The person or per-

sons in the photo must agree to have his or her name published. Once the contest is over and the winners are chosen, the Free Press will publish the three winning

photos in the Cariboo Connector. We look forward to seeing your photos and good luck to everyone. Melody Newcombe is a literacy support worker.

A licence for new hunters requires a CORE course Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

If you want to go hunting, you’ll need some know-how and a hunting licence. If you’re a British Columbia resident who hasn’t had a licence before, you’ll have to take a Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) class or obtain the CORE manual to do the self-study method. The course teaches firearms and wildlife safety, as well as a variety of skills useful to hunters and outdoorsmen. It’s mandatory to obtaining a licence. Successful completion of the course and two examinations are necessary to obtain a B.C. resident hunting number card and a first B.C. hunting licence. On behalf of the Ministry of Environment, the BC Wildlife Federation is responsible for CORE program administration and you’ll have to contact the BCWF for a study manual. This can be done on its website at www.bcwf. net and the cost for a manual is $16.50 and $13 shipping for non BCWF members, or $14.50 plus $13 shipping for members. The manuals can also be purchased in some sporting goods stores.

A helpful online supplement for exam preparation is the Hunter Education Internet course, which is located at www.ihea. com. It features a practice quiz, which may be helpful in studying for the exam. CORE courses and exams are conducted by certified examiners. Several can be found in the South Cariboo and their contact information is listed on the BCWF website. The exam is twopart with a written component that involves 75 multiplechoice questions based on the CORE Manual and the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis. A score of 56 is required to pass the test. The practical component requires the safe handling of two out of five types of firearms actions, including identification and loading/unloading of dummy ammunition. A score of 21 out of 27 is required to pass this test. There is a $10 fee for testing of each component and a $30 fee for the graduate certificate. Vince Forsberg of Lone Butte has been teaching the course since 1969 and is one of the original instructors who taught when it was still known as the Hunter Training Program.

“People have always needed to take a test to get a hunting licence, and in the old days, it was really hard. You even had to write a paragraph, but these days it’s all multiple choices.” He generally holds one course a year during late winter when people have extra time on their hands. It’s done in his home over the course of three weekends with classtime from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Testing is done on a fourth weekend and cost for the entire package is $75. Forsberg says the course material is invaluable for those new to hunting and notes that being able to identify different species of deer and other animals is paramount. “You need to be able to identify your target, whether it’s a white tailed deer or a mule deer, and the different varieties of sheep. A person has to understand antlers

ANNUAL WATERMAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM Beginning Monday, September 17th and continuing throughout Friday, September 21st, 2012 Municipal Staff will be performing their Annual Watermain Flushing Program.

Forsberg adds hunting is not only a man’s domain. He says a growing interest in

the health benefits of eating wild meat and in sharing a common hobby with their partner is drawing greater numbers of women to his classes.

Municipal Staff indicates residents might notice a discolouration in the water. It is suggested that residents run their tap water for two or three minutes until the discolouration clears.

NEW FOR FALL!

Congregation happy with arrival of Vicar After almost three years without fulltime pastoral care, the congregation of Christ the King Lutheran Church is excited to introduce Tyson Mastin as its Vicar. Mastin began his one-year stay in 100 Mile House on Aug. 26, when he received a very warm welcome from the congregation in the form of a meet-thecongregation potluck luncheon. In the Synod of Lutheran Church Canada, the third year of the four-year

seminary program is a vicarage during which the seminarian gets to practise what he has learned so far on his path to becoming an ordained Pastor. He will return to Concordia L u t h e r a n Theological Seminary in St. Catherine’s, Ont. next summer to complete the fourth year of study. Some of his duties while serving at Christ the King will

Tyson Mastin be to lead worship services, visit shut-ins and the hospitalized,

as well as lead Bible studies. Church attendees have promised to keep him busy. During the week, under Vicar Mastin’s tutelage, Christ the King is offering instruction in the Christian teachings of the Bible-based Lutheran Church. Anyone wishing to learn more is welcome to contact the church for details by phoning 250-395-5159 or e-mailing ChristThe

LDS Church Thanksgiving food drive makes donating easy Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (LDS) members are looking for help to make this Thanksgiving a little brighter for people in need. On Sept. 15, the South Cariboo branch LDS Church will be conducting a food drive in 100 Mile House, with all proceeds to be donated to the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society. People in the target area should have received brightly coloured flyers, which

should be attached to their donation of a bagged non-perishable food item and left on their doorstep by 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 15. Volunteers from the church will pick up items until around noon, but if nobody shows up by 1 p.m., people can call 1-855742-2833. The target area is 100 Mile House and adjacent subdivisions or “as manpower will allow,” says Dr. Neil VanderHorst, branch president of the local congregation. “We’re a little short on manpower and we’ll be looking to

other groups to join us next year, so we can hit a wider area.” Last year’s drive was very successful, he notes, with 100 pounds of food collected and he would like to see a repeat per-

formance. “The food bank fills a lot of needs in our community and we need to rise to the occasion and give it support, and not in just an annual event, but year-round.”

PUNISHING THE INSURANCE COMPANY One of the great (and saddening) revelations which accompanies the attainment of adulthood is that life isn’t always fair. When “little guys” struggle to be treated fairly, they are faced with the bleak reality that there are people who are more powerful than them. Power comes in various forms: physical, Ànancial, political, etc. Many people feel that the Courts are an instrument of oppression rather than an instrument of justice. Yet, when one examines the decisions of the Courts, one often Ànds that the Courts have recognized an abuse of power and taken steps to redress it. Insurance law provides examples of this reality. The expression “they lost everything” is frequently heard in media accounts describing a Àre in someone’s home. Despair is an understandable reaction. Those who have Àre insurance will submit a claim to their insurer. When the insurer refuses to honour the policy, lawsuits often result. Brandiferri v. Wawanesa [2012 ONSC 2206] is a recent example of such a lawsuit. A quote found at page 39 of that case is interesting: The duty of good faith … requires an insurer to deal with its insured’s claims fairly. … It must not deny coverage or delay payment in order to take advantage of the insured’s economic vulnerability or to gain bargaining leverage in negotiating a settlement. In the Brandiferri case, Wawanesa did, in fact, attempt to abuse its Ànancial power. As a result, the Court ordered Wawanesa to compensate the Brandiferris for their loss –and, on top of that, to pay punitive damages of $100,000. No, life isn’t always fair and maybe the decisions of the Courts don’t always seem fair either – but most judges are doing their best to bring fairness to circumstances where it was lacking.

BRRRRR! The cold is coming on. Don’t be left in the dark.

Mysteries of Bible Prophecy seminar set By Cameron Johnston Coming to 100 Mile House is the unique 2012 Mysteries of Bible Prophecy seminar, beginning Friday (Sept. 14) at 6:45 p.m. at the Valley Room just behind the Red Coach Inn. Is the end near? Does the date Dec. 21, 2012, as some are predicting, mean anything or have any significance in relation to Biblical prophecy and the end of the world? Or is this just another theory and date that will come and go and only create more con-

Tyler Long fusion, fear and grief? This is just one of many serious prophecy questions that seminar presenter and international speaker Tyler Long, from Amazing Facts, will explore beginning this Friday. The seminar is free and Biblically based. Everyone is welcome

to come, explore, learn and enjoy. The sessions are short, less than an hour each, with two presentations each evening and refreshments during the break. This seminar is designed for busy people both Christians and non-Christians. Long is knowledgeable regarding Biblical prophecy and his easy-to-understand presentations blend humor with a compassionate understanding of our everyday struggles. His topics the first night are Countdown to Eternity and Revelation’s Mother of all Battles. Additional topics include Revelation’s

Local sports clubs share in Community Gaming Grant funding Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The latest round of Community Gaming Grants distributed by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development saw three local organizations cashing in. 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association received $26,160; the 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association got $45,000; and the 100 Mile Figure Skating Club was the recipient of $13,475. It is part of the $9 million that will be distributed across British Columbia to applicants offering programs in arts and culture, human and social resources, environment and sport. Soccer association president Jennifer Appleby says its share was a pretty standard amount and the association is happy with it. “It’s great. It helps us to get the program going and keeps costs low.”

She says their insurance costs alone for the year are between $11,000 and $14,000. The hockey association received the amount it applied for and is quite happy with it, says association president Darrell Blades. “It helps to keep our rates down. We’d have to raise them by $150 per kid otherwise. It seems that as rates creep up, we lose a few players.” The grant money will help to cover coaching clinics, player development, equipment and jersey updates and administration costs. Skating club president Jennifer Plewes also says the grant money was as expected. It will cover approximately half of the ice rental costs for the season. Says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett: “Local sporting groups are important for many youth. Kids stay active, they learn lifelong skills, and it brings the community together. 100 Mile did well this round.”

Gaming grant money helps to keep costs down for the local soccer club, so its members, including Eric Gardner, left, Kolten Lindner and Camille Barton, can play and enjoy the many benefits of the sport.

Sharpshooters fire off in Lone Butte A bit of the Wild West came to the South Cariboo, as the Lone Butte Practical Shooters and Williams Lake Practical Shooters clubs teamed up to host the International Practical Shooters Confederation (IPSC) BC Provincial Championship in level 3 handgun competition, Sept. 1-2. Each of the 130 competitors had the chance to fire off 336 rounds on 18 different themed stages at the Lone Butte Fish and Wildlife Association Range, where the event was held. Lewis Kwan of Richmond competed in the master class and won the championship in the Classic division. It’s a new division of competition currently on trial by the IPSC. In the Open division, Michael Lam of Coquitlam was the winner, competing in the grand master class. This division allows for unlimited modifications to the gun. Nick King of Kelowna

Monika Paterson photo

Joey Tolentino of Alberta takes a shot at the International Practical Shooters Confederation BC Provincial Championship held recently in Lone Butte. won the Production division and competed at the grand master level. Production calls for outof-the-box guns with no modifications. In the Revolver (standard) division, the win went to Dom Piluso of Nanaimo and the winner in the Standard division was Clint Milburn of Surrey. Guns used in the

Standard division are allowed modifications with the exception of the addition of scopes. The top 3 winners in each division will represent British Columbia at the national championships in Dalhousie, New Brunswick in July 2013. Milburn, who is the IPSC section co-ordinator for B.C., is a past

Canadian champion in the Production division and can’t get enough of the sport. “It’s never the same and it challenges everything from hand-eye co-ordination, concentration, focus and problem solving. It’s terribly exciting and gets the adrenalin going when you’re out there.”

Mountain bike racing comes to the South Cariboo There’s still time to sign up for one or both of the Stormrider Race Series mountain bike events, scheduled for Sept. 22-23 in the South Cariboo. Both races are being co-hosted by the Hun City Mountain Bike Club and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. The first event is a cross-country race at The Hills Health Ranch, Sept. 22. Registration is from 9 to 9:30 a.m. and the mass start at 10 a.m. at The Hills main parking area gets the race rolling. Saturday night features a pulled pork and vegetarian lasagna dinner at The Hills, which begins at 4:30 p.m. The action turns to the 99 Mile ski trails area on Sunday (Sept. 23) for the Stormrider Downhill Race, starting 11 a.m. The start point is on Ainsworth Road, past the ski area and the finish line is at the Hun City Bike Park at the end of Seventh Street, just past Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. Registration for the downhill race is from 10 to 10:30 a.m. at the start area, and a barbecue at the bike park will follow the event.

Sheep dogs show their skill at local trial Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Sandhill Lea Ranch, owned by Lynn and Lorne Landry, hosted a BC Stock Dogs Associationsanctioned sheep dog trial near Abel Lake, Sept. 8-9. Using a combination of instinct and training, the dogs demonstrated their skills at herding sheep

through a number of obstacles, and were judged on speed and accuracy. Dawna Warner of 70 Mile House and her dog, Smoothy, were winners in the Novice/Novice division. Gord Lazzarotto of Windermere, with his dogs, Oakley and Tug, took second and third place in Novice/ Novice. Lee Lumb of

Coldstream competed with Gus and Cass to take first and second place in Pro/Novice, and Chris Hanson of Armstrong took third with Sadie. Lorne Landry worked with his dog, Nel, in Pro/Novice and with Cassie and Jace in the Open division, but did not place in the top 4. The winner in the Open division was

Pam Boring of Pink Mountain with her dog, Mirk. Second place went to Tess Davidson of Cecil Lake with Dawn, and Gayle Cochlan on Loon Lake took third with her dog, Leah. There were 55 runs made during the twoday event, with each taking approximately 11 minutes to complete. Landry says herding dogs are in their prime between four and seven years of age, and for his nineyear-old Cassie, this

was the last run of her career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a challenging course and she had trouble keeping up. She also had a hard time hearing commands from the field, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a great career and done well.â&#x20AC;?

Riders show motocross muscle at nationals Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It’s shaping up to be a great competitive season for a trio of rookie motocross racers from the South Cariboo. Brad Perron,

108 seniors golf club winds up tomorrow Twenty-eight golfers enjoyed the warm weather for Seniors Day at the 108 Golf Resort on Sept. 6 and they played Guess Your Score. Men’s Ervin Hannah, George Tittle, Chris Anderson and Mike Cleaver all shot their exact score. Ladies There were four ladies who had one shot over the scores. They were Anne McKave, Pam Dutchak, Eileen King and Donna Brennan. Tomorrow (Sept. 13) will be the last day of golf this club season for seniors, says club spokesperson Shirley Boyson. “We have had a great response and look forward to a fun day.”

Patrick Griffin and Brandon Watrich, all in their first year of racing, churned up the track at the British Columbia Motocross A s s o c i a t i o n (BCMA) Motocross Amateur Nationals at Whispering Pines Raceway in Kamloops, Sept. 1-2. Perron, 15, took second place overall in the Beginner MX-2 division after earning a couple of first- and two seventh-place results in his four-race weekend series. Griffin, 14, took fourth place overall in the same division with a third, a fourth and a couple of fifths. Watrich, 15, was the sixth-place finisher in the same group with a first, a second, a fourth and a DNF (did not finish). All three teens have been friends and riding buddies for several years and their common dream was to race in competition. They just didn’t know how to get started. By chance, at a major race held last May in Kamloops, Perron met a BCMA executive member who explained the process, and by June, they were racing. Apart from an introductory session

Patrick Griffin, front, raced to fourth place in Beginner MX-2 at the BC Motocross Association Amateur Nationals at Whispering Pines near Kamloops, Sept. 1-2. before their first race, they haven’t had any coaching and learn as they go, relying on each other for insight and tips. Perron says they see a lot of wrecked bikes on the track and it gets pretty scary sometimes. “I crashed in Ashcroft and managed not to get run over and then again in Kamloops where I bent the posts on my bike. The worst is the start when you’re in the middle of the pack, because normally, there’s a bunch of people who crash at the first turn.” Griffin, who had a

memorable crash earlier in Prince George, says every race is a learning experience. “I flew over the handlebars going over the ‘whoops’ and crashed on the finish-line corner. It makes you think the next time and it helps when you learn your line on the track.” They agree that after racing on a track, it’s hard to go back to trail riding. “It’s fun going fast. The track is awesome and the jumps are awesome,” says Griffin. Their next race is Sept. 15-16 in Prince George.

Ask an Expert: Will de-icing salt damage my concrete steps?

Phone Martina, Heather or Chris at

250-395-2219 to advertise on this page.

Salt can wreak havoc on your concrete stairs. Salt melts the ice to form slush, which can then seep into your concrete. The water then freezes as temperatures drop, causing your concrete steps to crack or splinter. You can use a concrete sealer to protect and waterproof+ your stairs, but you should also switch to sand or a non-saltbased winter deicing compound. Wait for a sunny day, when the temperature is well above freezing, to clean the salt buildup on your stairs. Fill a bucket with water. Plunge a stiff scrub brush into the water and scrub the stairs with it to remove the coating of salt. Wet the scrub brush as often as necessary. Continue scrubbing until you do not see traces of salt, which will be white in color.

Allow the water to evaporate naturally, then let the cement dry fully for one to two days. When your stairs dry, they will be clean and free from salt.

Stir a can of breathable cement sealer with a paint stirrer. Avoid shaking the sealer, since this can cause air bubbles. Read the manufacturer’s instructions regarding temperature before applying: Some sealers need warmer weather than others. Paint the cement sealer over your steps using a paintbrush. Work in an even layer. Wear a protective face mask to avoid inhaling fumes. Allow the sealer to dry fully according to the recommended drying time. NOTE: moist weather may delay drying time. When the ﬁrst coat is dry, apply a second coat in the same manner. Once this sealant dries, your cement steps will be waterproof.

CORSI

Barry Alexander April 26, 1946 - Sept. 9, 2012 We regret to announce the passing of Barry Corsi on September 09, 2012 in 100 Mile House, B.C. Barry is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 45 years: Dodie; his brother: Johnny (Tere), his children: Nadine (Mike) Kilkenny and Tom (Lynne) Corsi, his four grandchildren: Cain, Gage, Nate and Sammy. Barry trained as an apprentice carpenter from a young age. He excelled in this ﬁeld so much that he stuck with professional carpentry for his whole working career. Over this time he created homes for his family members which continue to carry wonderful memories inside. Barry was happy and busy during hunting season. Being outdoors he truly enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. When winter brought ice to the lakes Barry could be found equally as happy on the “reel” end of a ﬁshing rod taking in the company and the sport. A celebration of Barry’s life will be held at the Lac La Hache OAP (Old Age Pensioners) Hall on Saturday September 15, 2012 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. The family invites you join in an open house gathering to honour the life of Barry Corsi. Barry will be sadly missed and forever held in our hearts. Donations in Barry’s memory can be made to Prostate Cancer Research, 71 Rocky Vista Terrace, NW Calgary, Alberta T3G 5G6. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

Historic 100 Mile Lodge Centre of organic gardening for more than 60 years By Sherry Stewart 100 Mile House is seeing a renewed interest in local agriculture, organic gardening, and careful land-stewardship practices. In 2012, “self-sustainability is becoming a goal for more and more people in many places. Our South Cariboo Farmers Market is growing and becoming more vibrant, and the vendors and customers forming a small community within the larger community. Bringing all of these interests to focus is the newly formed South Cariboo Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre, with offices located, most appropriately, in the historic 100 Mile Lodge. Some people may not realize this historic landmark and the land surrounding it has been the site of organic agriculture, land-stewardship practices, and self-sustainability for more than 60 years. At one time, 150 people lived in the buildings behind the Lodge, growing much of their own food. There were large gardens, and at one time or another, horses, dairy cows, goats, chickens, hogs, sheep, beef cattle, barns, root cellars, and even a substantial hydroponics green house.

The 100 Mile Lodge was built in 1932 by Lord Martin Cecil, whose first priority was to provide a modern hotel on the Cariboo Road to attract the travelling public. This photo was taken in the early 1940s. Accompanying this, eventually, was an elaborate kitchen facility for not just meal preparation, but with equipment for all manner of food preservation and storage. At one point, the Lodge and adjacent property was designated as a Stewardship Farm, and you can still see the large Stewardship Farm sign near the 100 Mile House Community Garden. The property was also designated a “certified organic” farm. One-time farm manager Jeffrey Newman told me, “I think my most notable achievement was to take the land through

I recently learned In the 1800s, Bridge something new while

speaking with William Cecil’s grandson, Michael Cecil. In the early 20th century, realtors from B.C. would travel in the winter months to places, such as London, where they would frequent English upper-class clubs, marketing Cariboo land with the come-on that the Pacific Great Eastern railroad was soon to be built through the area. At that time, it was fashionable for English gentlemen to purchase property in B.C., and so it happened the new owner of the 100 Mile Ranch and Roadhouse was William Cecil, the father of Lord Martin Cecil, who is con-

sidered to be the founder of 100 Mile House. 1917 saw the end of the stagecoach era, and the Red Coach Inn at the north end of town is the resting-place for what is said to be the last surviving wagon of the Barnard Express and Stage Line. Apparently that stagecoach, recently given to the District of 100 Mile House by the Cecil family, came along with the purchase of the Lodge property in 1912. By the time Martin Cecil first arrived to oversee his father’s holdings, the year was 1930 and the 15,000-acre ranch was now called Bridge Creek Estate, and he was just 21 years old. He and his father agreed the first priority would be to build a modern hotel or lodge that would attract the travelling public and “put 100 Mile House on the map.” In his book, One Heart, One Way, author and former Free Press editor Chris Foster writes that while Martin had no experience whatsoever at building, he had brought a book with him from England that gave some encouragement for the challenge ahead. With Every Man His Own Builder in hand, Martin began.

100 Mile Lodge interesting history

Partnership formed In 1939, Martin met a man from the U.S. named Lloyd Meeker, who was the leader of a group called The Emissaries. The two men shared the same philosophy, and as their friendship and purpose deepened, Martin joined in the leadership of the Emissaries. In 1948, Martin’s home became the Canadian headquarters for the now International Emissary Society, and a small nucleus of like-minded people moved to 100 Mile to join him. One of the first families to arrive was the Marks Family. Carolyn Marks, sister of 100 Mile’s beloved first and longtime mayor, Ross Marks, remembers helping to run the Lodge business in the early years. Apparently, the small group would take time off on the weekends to go on a picnic or go swimming. When away, they would just leave signs for travellers at the Lodge saying, “Please sign yourself in,” or “If you need to check out, please leave the money here.” The doors were never locked and everybody trusted everybody. As the community grew, the 100 Mile Lodge became a place where people came for spiritual growth, and also to learn and practise what would today be called organic gardening and sustainable living. Homes and barns were built around the lodge, and businesses were established by

group members in the larger 100 Mile community, but always the principles of careful land stewardship and nothing less were adhered to. Today, the main buildings of the Lodge property have been gifted to the District of 100 Mile House, and that property is used as a conference centre, theatre, and meeting place for town events. The many homes behind the Lodge are privately owned, but the community kitchen is still a place to learn nutrition and culinary arts, and the 100 Mile Community Garden still thrives at the back of the property. As interest in ecotourism grows, and

more people look for education regarding organic food production and self sustainability, 100 Mile’s Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre is in place to help. The Ag Centre offices are inside the historic 100 Mile Lodge thanks to the support of the present owners, the District of 100 Mile House. Contact information and hours for the Agri-Culture Centre are available at www. cariboo-agcentre.ca. The author wishes to thank Michael Cecil and Chris Foster (as well as many others too numerous to mention) for their invaluable help in the composition of this article.

With no one around to help him, he enrolled in a correspondence course on architecture and bought manuals on plumbing, wiring, and other subjects. He studied at night by the light of an oil lamp, and, aided by the mechanical drawing he had learned in the Royal Navy, he drew plans. There was no planer mill at 100 Mile House in those days, so the lumber was indeed rough. Nevertheless, the Lodge building went up and stayed up, despite some tense moments, and pessimistic comments from observers. Foster wrote that at one point, the walls began to bulge under the weight of the roof Martin was putting on. His books had not prepared him for such a catastrophe, but he did some quick thinking and hit upon a solution. He collected some haying gear and rigged a block-andtackle arrangement between the two walls, with one end of the steel cable attached to his Model A Coupe. He then pulled the walls together and spiked a couple of jack pines across the top as joists. They are still part of the structure to this day. Michael says Martin’s vision for the property was tourism to make 100 Mile House a tourist attraction. That took major marketing skills, as the roads in those days were rough, and not many people ventured this far north. In subsequent years, Martin travelled as far south as California, inspiring people to make the journey to 100 Mile House. He made friends with many of the actors of the day,

Parkside Art Gallery shines spotlight on fibre Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Parkside Art Gallery will be all warm and fuzzy with its new show, Fibre Magic from Sept. 14 to Nov. 3. South Cariboo artists Claudia Ring, Martha Cloudesley and Jenny Taylor are the real magic behind the show, as their work is the focus. Ring is a knitter, but not the kind who enjoys following a pattern. She laughs while telling the story of her first knitting project - a set of underwear made from instructions in Grade 1. “It was after the war and it was practical, but terrible. Luckily my mother was creative and she

Artists Martha Cloudesley, left, Jenny Taylor and Claudia Ring have surprises up their sleeves for their show, Fibre Magic, which will be featured at Parkside Art Gallery from Sept. 14 to Nov. 3. encouraged us to think freely.” From then on, Ring started creating her own designs and her show contributions are pieces of art, rather than practical items. Expect to see

magical scarves, felt spiders that tell of Greek mythology and a couple of large, very unusual pieces she’s keeping under wraps, but promises will thoroughly surprise and amaze viewers.

Taylor brings a totally different style of work to the show. Her interest is in wall hangings, which incorporate a little bit of sewing, a smidgen of quilting and splash of embroidery.

Searching for hidden treasures LAC DES ROCHES SHARRON WOLOSHYN 250 593 0041 250-593-0041

Geocaching, a worldwide recreational treasure hunt using GPS (global positioning satellite) technology and written clues, is a popular pastime. Caches, or treasures, placed in the Lac des Roches area attract seekers from everywhere, often using the search as an excuse for both local and long-distance family outings. The Fochuk family of Fort St. John stopped at the McDonald rest stop on its search for local geocaches and Jack, 5, and Julia, 9, were monitoring their hand-held GPS units to provide directional guidance to their

parents, Andy and Allison. Andy, who works in mapping, noted that 10 years ago, there was one geocache within 500 miles of Fort St John. “Now, there are 20 sites in the city itself.” Information, clues and site co-ordinates can be found on the Internet by searching “geocaching.”

Permits for 100 Mile are now valid for a full year, expiring on Dec. 31. Kamloops permits are valid for a year from the date inserted by the holder. Their websites are www.for.gov.bc.ca/ dmh (permits and forms) and www. for.gov.bc.ca/dka/ permits/firewoodpermit.htm.

Firewood permits Residents still bringing in their winter supply of firewood for heating require free firewood cutting permits available online for both the 100 Mile and nearby Kamloops forest districts.

Abundant veggies Vegetable gardens are flourishing during the late summer heat wave. Creative cooking using summer squash is a popular topic and recipe sharing for monster-sized zucchini is routine.

Stir-fried Swiss chard and baked kale chips are popular uses of these two abundant and healthy veggies. Signs of fall Shorter days and longer nights of late summer attract many residents otherwise bothered by flies that frequent the area during warm summer days and night. Lake temperatures have been dropping steadily and while discouraging some of the more sensitive swimmers, likely account for

Katelynn Dowe: pageant provides experience of a lifetime By Reg Berrington 108 Mile Ranch resident Katelynn Dowe won the right to enter the Miss Canada Globe Pageant and finished 10th out of 18 contestants last month. She arrived in

Toronto on Aug. 15 and started training the next day. Katelynn says expectations were high and it was demanding but also exciting because she learned about presenting herself, and gained

extra confidence. On Aug. 18, there was a training session, and contestants gave their regional presentations. Katelynn was awarded second place for her presentation. Aug. 19 saw them go through more training, interviews and a photo session. On Aug. 20, they trained all day, and that evening, they went for dinner at

a Salsa restaurant. Katelynn won the prestigious Disco Queen award and says she is very proud of that accomplishment. On Aug. 21, the girls went to Canada’s Wonderland, a 330-acre theme park in Vaughan, Ont., and then it was off to a karaoke night.

On Aug. 25, the big day started with more training, hair and makeup, a dress rehearsal and getting ready for the Miss Canada Globe Pageant. The pageant started at 7:30 p.m. and went to midnight. When it was done, Katelynn was awarded 10th place out of 18 girls who competed. The winner of the Miss Canada Globe Pageant was 26-yearold Vancouver resident Casar Jacobson. Katelynn highly recommends other

Katelynn Dowe girls participate in events like the Miss Canada Globe Pageant because they will receive experiences of a lifetime. “Some of the great experiences are making new friendships across Canada, as well as building confidence and the ability to mix with other people. Imagine being in a hotel with all the other contestants and everyone being kept busy and working together.” Each participant came home with a crown and a sash. The parents, mainly moms who travelled with the girls, were also kept busy, as they continually helped the participants

She did a lot fundraising, including holding a bake sale, doing haircuts for both men and women, and held a dinner, with silent and pie auctions. She also went door-todoor and approached local businesses, asking for donations. Katelynn says she wants to pay down her student loan, do charity work, contin-

She thanks everyone who helped her get to the Miss Canada Globe Pageant. “A special thankyou goes to my parents, family and friends for their love and support for giving me an experience of a lifetime.” Reg Berrington is the 108 Mile Ranch correspondent.

Post a Report or Picture for Your Favourite Lake AnglersAtlas.com/ photos/

ridge lake is dotted with islands and shoals, providing a diversity of fishing holes to explore. It has good fishing for rainbow trout,

kokanee and burbot. Dave Mingo, local angler, has good advice for anglers taking advantage of the spectacular mayfly hatch o n

Bridge Lake. Mingo suggests that anglers looking to tap into a hatch “look for what’s hatching [near the surface], and watch for the birds.” The birds are great indicators of

hatch activity, as they feed on the hatching insects. Mingo says he will look for birds around shoal areas—tell tale signs that a hatch is in action. His preferred mayÁy pattern is a pheasant tail

nymph. He recommends anchoring close to the hatch and using a cast and retrieve method with the pheasant tail nymph. A slow sink line is preferred. There is a popular kokanee and trout lure called the Bingobug, which works well for trolling. A Wedding Band and worm are always a reliable producer, and a white Apex with red tip also works well. Please note the lake trout fishery is catch and release only.

Reliability starts here…

LAKE ACCESS

ridge Lake is located along Highway 24 which wraps around the southern shore of this lake. Bridge Lake Road North wraps around the rest of the lake.

You may not be able to count on the ﬁsh biting, but at least you can count on your outboard from Yamaha.

Caution: Do not use this map for navigational purposes. This map may not reflect current conditions. Uncharted hazards may exist. Base Map ©Province of British Columbia.

Moondance Bay Resort is situated in the northwest corner of the lake. From Highway 24 turn north onto Bell Road, at the western end of the lake. This road turns into Johnstone Road, and in a few short minutes you will arrive at Moondance Bay. Bridge Lake Provincial Park is at the opposite corner of the lake and has 13 vehicle accessible campsites and a concrete boat launch. Centennial Park is on the shore of Bridge Lake, and offers a great

hiking trail down Bridge Creek.

Eight teams compete in tourney DEKA… from page B7 They don’t need to know how; they’re welcome to just come and look and learn.” Ball tourney The Aug. 11-12 Magoo Memorial Funball Tournament at Interlakes Hall saw eight teams competing. “It was great weather, great teams, a really good weekend,” says coordinator Christine Nadeau. VandeGang out of Pemberton took the trophy, followed by Brandon Ross’ PUI and Red Rock. The tournament, initiated in the mid 1970s by Gary Cleveland and Marisa Peter to celebrate Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour, was renamed in 1986 to honour Michael “Magoo” Barkley of Sheridan Lake who was killed in a motorcycle accident that year.

Residents saddened by berry loss ROCHES… from page B4

outdoor heaters are a wise choice no matter which month a celebration is planned for at our high altitude. Hats off to MOTI Many thanks go out to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) for notable improvements to the area. The McDonald rest stop garbage cans have been well maintained this summer even with the significant traffic and abuse that follows most long weekends. Additional highway hazard signs installed this year seem to account for the decreased occurrence of “close calls” noticed by residents during the summer. Thank you to all those responsible for the improvements. Poor crop After losing Saskatoon berries to wildlife this year, it is disheartening to learn the huckleberry crop is also very poor. Berry plants seem to be suffering from some kind of stress as few are lush and healthy looking and some patches have little or no berries. We may be forced to harvest those delicate and messy thimbleberries after all. Doggy duty Thanks to the anonymous environmentalist who has donated much needed doggie bag dispensers at strategic locations around the lake. The problem of unsightly dog deposits on rural roads and at the rest stop seemed to be growing out of control this summer. This gesture may prompt dog owners to do the right thing and clean up after their pets.

FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS

Recycling your milk containers is easy. Simply give them a quick rinse and bring them with your bottles and cans on your next Return-It Depot trip. There’s no refund because you didn’t pay a deposit when you bought the milk. Last year Return-It collected over 630,000 kg of milk containers for recycling and kept them out of landﬁlls. Help us recycle even more.
