Council rejects town square Ken Alexander Free Press

At their Sept. 11 meeting, the District of 100 Mile House councillors unanimously rejected the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House’s proposal to build a town square on Third Street between Birch Avenue and the alley. Coun. Ralph Fossum left the council chambers due to conflict of interest, both as a Rotarian and a neighbouring property owner. Noting council liked the town-square concept, the resolution stated it was not prepared to close a portion of Third Street, as it would negatively impact or cause undue hardship to nearby businesses. Councillors were also concerned that creating a two-way street on the remaining portion of Third Street would compromise parking requirements for some adjacent businesses. In its press release, council noted it wasn’t See SQUARE… page A3

Run for the Cure... The Terry Fox Run in 100 Mile House on Sept. 16 was a resounding success with at least 139 participants and $2,419.68 raised, with more online donations to be tabulated. Wade Balbirnie, left, was first to cross the finish line in the five-kilometre distance and his 13-year-old son, Brandon Balbirnie, finished close behind in third.

Deer shot near house angers resident Carole Rooney Free Press

Residents on Katchmar Road near Horse Lake were shocked when a deer was shot close to their homes on Sept. 11. Dinah Cunningham says her dogs alerted her when a truck slowed across from her home, and then she saw a man with a rifle get out while another drove it further along. The 15-acre parcel of treed, bare land opposite her home is owned by a resident of Alberta, she says, adding it’s adjacent to houses on Horse Lake-Lone Butte Road. When she called to the man who was standing on the road to ask what he was doing with a gun in a residential area, Cunningham explains a confrontation ensued. “I said ‘what do you think you’re doing?’ and he said ‘huh’ and he shot the gun ... and shouted at me ‘I can do what I like, I live around here’ and then went into the trees.”

After rushing inside for a pencil and paper, Cunningham ran onto her balcony to record the licence plate number of the vehicle. She adds it had stopped a short way along the road and was picking up the hunter. “The man laughed at me, the one who shot, and said ‘ha, ha I missed anyway’ and then they drove off.” Cunningham immediately called authorities to report the incident, while her husband went outside to take pictures and found a deer shot dead close to the road. “I was so disgusted with what this man had done, [and] that he could turn it into a joke, when it’s not a joke.” A conservation officer returned her call shortly after and instructed her to go into the 100 Mile House office to record a statement, she says, adding he indicated he would talk to her neighbours in the meantime. By the time she returned that same afternoon, the deer was gutted and gone, Cunningham

adds. CO James Zucchelli was involved in the investigation and says a suspect turned himself in the same day for shooting a deer out of season. “The complainant explained she had a confrontation with the individual [who] left the scene after shooting the deer. “Then we got a call from the suspect who self-reported accidentally shooting a threepoint deer instead of a four-point deer.” He adds prompt self-reporting is the law for accidental shooting of closed season game, but there was a three-hour delay between the actual incident and the subsequent report. “The suspect drove around for three hours, I guess wondering ‘what am I going to do’. The suspect did not immediately and promptly report the accidental killing of wildlife.” Zucchelli says he instructed the suspect See DEER… page A5

River rescue crews learn the ropes Carole Rooney Free Press

A dozen members of South Cariboo Search & Rescue (SAR) had an exciting time participating in a Swift Water Rescue course Aug. 24-26. SAR manager Val Severin says members learned to identify risks, how to self-rescue and subject rescue techniques on the Clearwater River. For many of them, this involved leaping into the rapids – geared with safety equipment. Raven Rescue trainer Scott Streadwick of Clearwater led the course, which Severin explains covered two levels of training, swift water operations and swift water rescue technician. Severin and two other SAR members successfully completed the operations course that prepares rescue personnel to help from a shore-based position within 10 feet of fast-moving water, an area sometimes called the “warm zone,” including self-rescue techniques. “These people are certified now to be on the river shore, because of the fact that if we slip and fall in, we’ve had some training on how to rescue ourselves.” The other nine members took the more advanced technician level course, she adds, much of which takes place right in the rapids. “They are able to basically be on the water during a search. If [a victim or] a teammate fell in, they are certified to jump in with the proper equipment and do a rescue.” Both levels of certification are

important toward carrying out a successful rescue, she notes. Those who leapt into the raging river for the technician course weren’t always attached to the shore, Severin explains, but learned tethered rescue methods. If a teammate falls in the river upstream during a rescue, a swift water rescue technician further down the river will attach a releasable tether and attempt to intercept them, with ground assistance from the swift water rescue technicians. “He can let himself free if he needs to, and then he’ll go upriver and jump in to the subject. Then the people on the shore are basically the anchor and can ‘pendulum’ the rescuer and the subject back to the shore with the current. It’s really cool.” The recent session included a scenario that saw ropes strung across the water to a large boulder beyond which was an eddy (reverse-current whirlpool) and some strong rapids. Severin says the technician trainees then climbed up onto the rock with the aid of the rope to gain access to the “victim” in faster moving water, “They had to have some strength, I’ll tell you. It was amazing.” Then the rope was used as a pendulum to draw the people back into shore, she adds. “They can also use the angle of their body. If you are 45 degrees to the current, that angle will actually push you into shore. “If you add some swimming

motions with your arms, it changes your speed from the current and it will of course happen faster the harder you swim.” The SAR manager adds she learned this tactic, as well as keeping her feet up and facing downstream to avoid entrapment, as a part of the selfrescue methods. A similar version of the Raven Rescue training for search-and-rescue personnel is offered for anyone who spends time at, or on fastmoving rivers, she notes. The local group is always looking for more members, Severin says, adding most have full time jobs and dedicate whatever time they can to rescue operations. The free, Basic Ground SAR Certification training is approximately 120 hours and typically takes about a year to complete, she explains, with trainees teamed up with certified members to learn the ropes in the interim. “Then there’s other [offsite] courses you can take, and we also try to bring in as many courses as we can.” The group meets every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the SAR training facility at 5830B Horse Lake Rd., and Severin says attending is the best way to find out what it’s all about. “They just need to show up to a meeting and we’ll do a tour and a bit of an interview and go from there.” For more information, call Severin at 250-395-3210.

going to open itself up to possible legal and/or liability challenges associated with negatively impacted businesses. Furthermore the district fathers said they weren’t prepared to invest municipal funds or raise business tax rates to support the development of sidewalks, public washrooms or upgrades to existing public areas around the community hall. Prior to voting unanimously to turn down the proposal, councillors encouraged the Rotary Club to identify an alternate location or proposal for a town square. After the meeting, Mayor M i t c h Campsall said council hasn’t closed the door on the Rotary Club. “In fact, it’s the other way around; the door is wide open and we want to work with Mitch Campsall them.” He added that according to the landlords and the business owners, closing Third Street just isn’t going to work. An alternate location, Campsall said, could be the vacant lot on the corner of Birch and Fifth Street. Rotary president Maureen Pinkney said the club is extremely disappointed with council’s quick decision. The concerns voiced at the Sept. 6 public meeting, regarding parking, freight, washrooms, etc., were thought to have been addressed, she added. “I personally went to every business in that immediate area and 100 per cent of them were in favour of the idea and only a few concerns were raised.” The concept Rotary has to build a beautiful square in the “heart of our town” would not be the same if it was made smaller or placed somewhere else on the outskirts of the downtown core, Pinkney explained. “Our club has decided that ‘although the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House fully believes in the town square proposal and its proposed location, the club will not be proceeding with it at this time’.”

Local reps to speak against proposed federal riding changes Carole Rooney Free Press

The District of 100 Mile House will make a presentation on the proposed federal riding changes to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia. Councillor Ralph Fossum will appear before the commission at its upcoming public hearing to present the district’s position on these changes. “We’ll speak to the commission and see where that takes us. “We’re seeking support from community-minded folks, too, to go on Oct. 11 and ... have a representation there. Sometimes numbers

Ralph Fossum and letters do make a difference, that’s for sure.” The commission will make the final decision on where the electoral boundaries will lie, but is giving the public and MPs opportunities to participate and express their views. In addition to showing support by

attending the hearing, Fossum says the district encourages community members to send letters expressing their views. “If anyone takes a look at our proposed new boundaries, they’ll see it creates a very awkward electoral district for us.” The proposed changes will see 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch and Lac la Hache join the ChilliwackFraser Canyon riding at the north end, as well as attaching the Village of Pemberton in the west. “Does anyone in 100 Mile House orient to Chilliwack?” The communities

are currently represented by KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod based out of Kamloops, he notes. “You can go there, meet and come back on the same day. But once you start talking Chilliwack ... the distance alone is pro-

it is a “fairly reasonable assumption” he or she will remain Chilliwack-based due to its voting population. “Will the person really know any of the issues?

Financial Tip of the Week With Get real

About your expectations, that is. Advertisements depict a Judy Simkins world in which everyone makes Franchise President, a six-figure salary, retires at 100 Mile House 55 and earns 15% a year on their investments. The reality is different. Most Canadians make under $50,000 a year. The typical man retires at 63, the typical woman at 60. The median return of balanced mutual funds over the past five years has been 5%. What do all these numbers mean? That you shouldn’t stress if you’re not on track to retire in your mid-fifties — and that you should be very suspicious of fasttalking brokers who promise you 20% annual returns.

It works to increase parenting competence by teaching skills that help parents to “reframe” their child’s behaviour, manage their own emotional response to problem behaviour and practice and communicate empathy for their child’s experience. Connect was developed in collaboration with parents, caregivers, professionals and community stakeholders to assist parents to consider new ways of understanding their child and their child’s

behaviour, new ways of understanding themselves and their parenting responses, and new options in parenting. The Connect program begins on Sept. 25 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and runs consecutively on Tuesdays through to Nov. 27 at the Canadian Mental Health Clubhouse. A light meal is included. There is no cost for this program, but pre-registration is required. For more information, call Leah or Debbie at 250-3955633.

he people of the South Cariboo are really a great bunch, as we wear our hearts right next to our wallets. There were four very successful fundraisers held in 100 Mile House last weekend and all were well-attended and earned revenue for some great causes. Historically, fundraisers in this neck of the woods are usually successful. There are probably a few reasons for this. Not the least of which is the fact we live in small communities and most of the money that’s raised here stays in our communities, and that which goes out of town, is used for the benefit of all of us in the larger community. Another reason for success is the fundraisers go toward such great causes, including dog rescue, needy families, cancer research and community groups that can use some financial support. The third key to success is the events tend to be social, fun and entertaining, so it gives us an opportunity to have a few laughs with likeminded people, while participating in some great causes. The most important ingredient in the successful fundraising stew is the key organizers and their teams. These folks work tirelessly to try to make sure every aspect of the fundraiser runs as smoothly as possible. Sunday’s annual Toy Run, organized by Phil Doddridge and Steve Anderson, saw 47 motorcycles and 18 cars in their cavalcade. They raised $864 and filled a car and a pickup with toys for needy families. On Sunday, Paws for a Cause, organized by Margaret Barnicoat and her team, attracted 29 dogs and 50 walkers for a stroll through town and some fun and games at Centennial Park. Together, they raised more than $1,200 for the local SPCA. The Terry Fox Run on Sunday, organized by Werner and Janet Heine, attracted 139 participants who raised more than $2,400 for cancer research. On Saturday, the annual Rotary Lobsterfest, organized by Maureen Pinkney and her fellow Rotarians, attracted 200 hungry, community-minded residents who raised a lot of money (numbers unavailable) to assist a multitude of good causes in 100 Mile House and area. Thanks go to the organizers, the teams of volunteers and, most importantly, to those who opened their hearts and pocketbooks.

BC NDP leader hiding his plan For months, BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix has been hiding his plan for the future from British Columbians. But details are slowly slipping out, they are proving costly, and they illustrate the BC NDP has no idea how to build a strong economy and keep life affordable for families. Here are three examples of what the NDP doesn’t want you to know: 1. The NDP’s transportation critic said his party was against reducing road and bridge tolls and would actually expand tolls to cover more roads in the Lower Mainland. This means key arteries, the Oak and Knight Street bridges, would face tolls if the NDP had its way. 2. During a recent radio interview, the NDP labour critic said one of a worker’s most fundamental rights — the ability for to vote by secret ballot on whether to join a union — might be revoked. Workers have the right to join a union, but they also deserve the right to make that decision in private. 3. When it comes to the Northern Gateway Project, the NDP have thrown up a smokescreen and hope no one sees how much their scheme will cost taxpayers. Originally, they were against the project; then said they want to spend millions on a

JOHN YAP

GUEST SHOT sham review; and now they refuse to say whether Adrian Dix would honour the review. Worst of all, this sham review sends a bad signal to business by adding another layer of red tape — threatening investment and jobs. Adrian Dix’s smokescreen can’t shield the NDP from the fact their plan would cost British Columbians. And where do Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals stand? We stand with you. As we build more needed infrastructure, our government will protect taxpayers and make sure tolls are affordable. But we will not impose tolls on existing roads as the NDP might do. B.C. Liberals believe workers should make decisions on their future — not in a public meeting but in private, just like in an election. And Premier Clark is standing up for British Columbians when it comes to the Northern Gateway Project — laying out five conditions that must be met before British Columbia will consider the project for approval.

Additionally, our government’s one-window, one-process policy reduces red tape, saves taxpayers money and provides businesses certainty while ensuring the highest environmental standards are met. Premier Clark is focused on the growing economy and making life more affordable for families. For the first time ever, the value of our exports to Asia, where markets are growing, surpasses what we sell to the United States. To weed out waste, cut costs and keep rate increases low, our government ordered reviews of BC Hydro and ICBC. Over the past 12 months, we’ve led the country in job creation, outpacing even booming Alberta. There are nearly 52,000 more British Columbians working today than there were one year ago. To build on this success, we’re focusing on skills training, natural gas development and controlling spending to balance the budget. Our government believes in transparency, but the NDP are giving British Columbians the silent treatment. It should make British Columbians wonder what else they’re hiding. John Yap is the Minister of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology.

Stakes go up in B.C. gas gamble NTERTAINMENT

Kindness really appreciated

To the editor: I recently had occasion to make use of the emergency medical services available in our community. As usual, the response was timely and professional. I would like to thank the staff of the BC Ambulance Service, the two drivers who attended me and the doctor and nurses in the emergency room who treated me for their kindness to me. Also thank you to Richard Bergen and his first responder colleagues who waited with me while the ambulance was on its way. You are a great group! Gordon Kellett Forest Grove

Rotary Club out of line on town square To the editor: After reading the article about the townsquare proposal, I am puzzled. Why propose a town square when 100 Mile House has one already? It has been in existence since 1986 and serves the town well. Another “town square” would just be an addition. The closure of Third Street will severely affect two small businesses, causing them from being viable to possibly marginal. The owners have valid objections. With the closure of

Third Street, I believe there will be no ready access between Birch and Cedar avenues in case of an emergency. The sani-dump at the end of town is a real boon to RVers causing them to delay their travels, park and walk up town. (The village does a good job of looking after it.) I get the impression the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House is out of line in this proposal, and should return to the good work it is known for. Ken Moore 100 Mile House

Unhappy with town square decision To the editor: As an area resident, I was disappointed with 100 Mile House council’s decision to deny the proposed town square. In all likelihood, this decision will be viewed by many as nothing more than small-town politics taking precedence over progressive planning. Howard Malm Lone Butte

VICTORIA – Mike de Jong’s debut as British Columbia finance minister was a grim one. The first financial update for this election year projects a $1.4-billion decline in natural resource revenues from Kevin Falcon’s one and only budget in February. Most of that is from declining natural gas revenues in the next three years. However, it’s not just the price of gas that’s lower than the finance ministry’s array of private sector experts had forecast. The volume of B.C. gas sold is down as well, as abundant new sources of shale gas come onstream in the United States. As with oil, The U.S. is currently the only market Canada has. It wasn’t long ago that the energy ministry was trumpeting its monthly totals for “bonus bids” paid by gas companies for drilling rights in northeastern B.C. That gold rush has wound down as shale deposits are staked and the price falls. de Jong’s response shows how serious this problem is for any B.C. government. He inherits Falcon’s political commitment to present a balanced budget next spring. How he will do that, and be believed in a heated post-HST election campaign, remains a mystery. de Jong announced a hiring freeze for government staff, and a management salary freeze across health care, universities and Crown corporations, as well as government operations. He hinted at an even harder line with unions, as the government’s

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS largest employee group continued selective strike action. This, and the familiar vow to rein in travel and other discretionary spending, won’t come close to replacing the lost gas revenues. Asset sales, which Falcon came up with in a desperate effort to dig the government out of its huge sales tax hole, won’t show up on the books until next year, if they go ahead at all. Raising taxes or fees? Forget it. It’s either cut programs or run another deficit. The one glimmer of hope in what de Jong called the “ugly” resource-revenue picture is that natural gas revenues don’t have much farther to fall. Then, there is the light at the far end of the tunnel, exports to Asia where the price remains much higher. That project took two important steps forward last week. Spectra Energy and British multinational BG Group unveiled plans for a third major pipeline to bring northeast gas to the coast, this one to a site near Prince Rupert

proposed for a liquefied natural gas facility. And on Sept. 14, the Haisla Nation and the B.C. Liberal government announced a land-use agreement to develop another LNG export facility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals in that area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energy players, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies. One of the bills jammed through by the B.C. Liberals in the hectic legislative session this spring was to do away with another of those federal-provincial overlaps that make industrial development so slow and difficult. Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of Northern B.C., but also in dismantling the century-old logjam of Aboriginal resource claims. At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals and associated pipelines in production by 2020. That now looks like a more realistic target. However, the jobs and revenues won’t arrive in time to save the B.C. Liberals from their current predicament. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Time to thank our coaches To the Editor: As someone who competed in sport for decades, I know coaches are an integral part of the experience. In British Columbia, our government is recognizing the immense contributions of coaches in every athlete’s personal and professional development by proclaiming Sept. 15-22 as B.C. Coaches Week. Coaches are mentors for kids and adults alike. They are powerful influences with the potential to change lives. The Coaches Association of B.C. (CABC) represents some 40,000 coaches, of which 98 per cent are volunteers. It is coaches who teach the

youngest athletes the essential skills of their sports, inspire and motivate athletes of all ages, and spot excellence in an athlete and work hard to develop it. Coaches also teach ethics and fair play — critical lessons for young athletes that last a lifetime. At the recent Olympic and Paralympic Games in London, B.C.’s athletes experienced great success, bringing home medals and achieving personal bests. In the process, they positively influenced younger athletes and elevated the stature of their sports. These are wonderful achievements that have made us all proud, and we need to recognize the crucial role coaches played in those successes.

Our collective goal is to ensure every coach receives the training he or she needs to provide effective leadership. With that in mind, we will invest more than $2 million in coach development over the next year. Since last year, more than $100,000 has been directly targeted to develop coaches in Northern B.C. in the lead-up to the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George. In addition, the CABC is offering free National Coaching Certification Programs in many locations around the province. Bill Bennett Community, Sport and Cultural Development minister

Newsbeat Around the province Abduction of Quesnel boy

QUESNEL — A 68-year-old woman of no fixed address was arrested for attempted kidnapping and remains in Quesnel RCMP custody awaiting her first appearance. Shortly before 10 p.m. on Sept. 13, Quesnel RCMP received a report of an attempted child abduction. RCMP were called to the area known as “Spirit Square” — a public gathering place located in the downtown core of Quesnel, after a seven-year-old boy was approached by a woman who proceeded to shake his hand and subsequently grabbed him by the wrist, attempting to pull him toward her nearby vehicle. Fortunately, the child’s 13-year-old friend saw what was going on and intervened pulling the child away from the female suspect. The woman fled the scene in her vehicle but was located and arrested moments later by members of the Quesnel RCMP.

Todd Grotke Deka Lake My concern is for the guys who like to watch the games on television.

Steve Nelson, 108 Mile Ranch No. The players make too much money now. The lottery money goes into sports and the kids still can’t afford to play hockey. It should go to communities.

Skateboard attack downtown

VICTORIA — Three men attacked a vehicle with their skateboards Friday night, Sept. 14, smashing its windows and threatening the occupants inside. At 10:30 p.m., a Langford couple and a friend were driving eastbound on Fort Street near Douglas Street. The driver honked at three men walking in the middle of the street before coming to a stop at the intersection. The vehicle was then attacked by three men, who uttered threats and used their skateboards to smash out a rear window of the Kia SUV. Damage to the vehicle is estimated to be several thousand dollars. A 22-year-old man was apprehended by a witness, while a second 22-year-old man was picked up by a Victoria Police motorcycle officer. A third man remains at large, but police are reviewing video surveillance in the area in an attempt to identify him.

Our bodies are amazing. The level of acidity in our blood is held quite constant at a pH of 7.35-7.45 no matter what we do. (Anything above 7 is alkaline.) The pH of our urine can change with our diet but the pH of our blood remains pretty well the same. We are entering the autumn season soon and it’s a good time to remind everyone about hand-washing. It is the best way to prevent colds, ﬂus and many other infectious diseases. Do it often throughout the day for at least 20 seconds per wash. This is especially important after blowing your nose, using the toilet, playing with pets or changing baby’s diaper. Perhaps even shaking hands? The increase in social networking during the past few years has prompted research projects studying its addiction potential. The projects concluded that social media can be more addictive than tobacco. It takes up much of some people’s spare time and its seeming low cost just makes it that much more desirable. We are born with 100,000 hair follicles on our heads. Hair falls out and renews itself routinely throughout our lives. But, sometimes these hair follicles become stressed and hair starts to fall out and not grow back. Causes can be emotional or physical shock, hormonal (postpartum, stopping birth control pills), severe dieting and high fever among others. If you are concerned, check with your physician. Make our pharmacists part of your healthcare team. We hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.

THIS FRIDAYâ&#x20AC;Ś DAYâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;Ś

Owners can claim rings at RCMP office POLICE REPORT 100 Mile RCMP responded to 87 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Rings handed in On Sept. 14, a representative from the Cedar Crest Society brought a case containing rings that had been left in the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drop off bin overnight. The society had concerns that these rings may be stolen, but they are not associated to any current theft investigation in 100 Mile House. The rings will be held at the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment office for 90 days. If not claimed, they will be returned to the Cedar Crest Society. Anyone bringing forward a claim of ownership will have to provide a description of the case and rings. Business breakin Sometime overnight Sept. 13-14, unknown culprits broke the side door glass at a business in the 900 block of Alpine Avenue and gained entry into the business. Several drawers in the business were opened and rummaged through. A container of loose change and numerous watches were

stolen from the business. Anyone having any information about this breakand-enter is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or call CrimeStoppers. Severe damage Around 6:55 p.m. on Sept. 10, emergency services crews were dispatched to a single-vehicle incident in the 6400 block of Mahood Lake Road near Deka Lake. The male driver of a Honda Accord had left the roadway and impacted a hydro pole. The vehicle flipped over onto its roof, which resulted in severe damage to the vehicle. The driver was extricated from the vehicle by the fire department and the driver, who had minor injuries, was taken by ambulance to the 100 Mile District General Hospital. He was subsequently transported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for precautionary reasons. The investigation into this matter is continuing. Excessive speed There were incidents of excessive speed during the past week and both were on Highway 24 near Bridge Lake. Members of 100 Mile House Traffic Services stopped two drivers who had

male was walking from his residence to his place of employment when he was approached by an unknown male in the 400 block of Evergreen Crescent. This person, who was dressed in a black hoodie and blue jeans, produced a knife and demanded money from the victim who had no money, but ended up giving his cell phone to the suspect. The suspect left the victim at the entrance to Centennial Park. The victim walked to his work where he called police. Patrols were made in the area, but the suspect was not located. The victim was not injured, but was shaken up as a result of this encounter. He was unable to see the suspect’s face and did not know who he was. Police are asking for anyone with information about the identity of the suspect to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456, or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

District Trendy & Stylish Selection of Jeans at JEAN’S PLACE!

Canim Lake residents enjoying 20% OFF JEANS the colourful seasonal offerings Jean’s Place CANIM LAKE PETER HART 250-397-2645

harts@netbistro.com

Dear Canimites, autumn descends gracefully on this beautiful land, with cool mornings, the air sweet and still, mists rising from calm lakes, the first frosts bringing colour to the birches. Gardeners attend to their reaping apples and all manner of vegetables. In the night sky directly overhead, Cygnus the swan flees winter to the southwest down the Milky Way. Community Club The club’s meeting has been rescheduled to Oct. 11 at Margo’s Cabin at 10 a.m., and the program for the year will be reviewed. Community activities are about to get into full swing for the season. For the sake of new people in the area, here’s a rundown of the regular activities. • Ladies Lunch

–first Tuesday of the month, the next set for Oct. 2 at Firehouse Diner, 1 p.m. The venue changes each month to keep it interesting. If you haven’t attended before, give Jean Reynolds a call at 250-397-2773 to get the flavour of the event. • Book Club – group meets monthly to talk about books, and to enjoy each other’s company over baking and coffee. Participants collectively choose about seven “good reads” for the next year’s program. They meet the third Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m., and take turns hosting the event. The season starts on Oct. 16 at the home of Bev McGregor. For more details, contact Sheila Hart at 250397-2645. • Cribbage – this group gathers in Margo’s Cabin every Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m., starting Oct. 16. It is a lively and fun-focused group that is keen to have some new players. For more information, call Margo at 250-3970016. • Crafts, Coffee, and Cards – the 3C’s meets every Thursday morning at 10 a.m., starting on Oct. 18.

This eclectic and spirited group gets into just about anything that interests them, from making wind chimes from discarded debris to stained glass garden stepping stones. Those who don’t want to craft anything, play cards, drink coffee, and enjoy the company. For more background, call Jean Reynolds at 250-3972773. • Community Club Dinner – On the third Saturday of every month, people gather at a local restaurant to dine together and catch up on the news. Couples, and singles, enjoy these laid-back and informal dinners. Jean Reynolds books them at different restaurants, and makes sure there is a large table for everyone. She telephones people on her call list each month.

This year, the first dinner is Oct. 20 at the Red Rock Café at 6 p.m. For more information, call Jean.

YES WE HAVE IT AGAIN... Nowhere else in BC

Very busy summer for several of Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young rodeo competitors

CLINTON KATIE MCCULLOUGH 250-459-2172 kemccullough@hotmail.com

Several young Clinton cowboys and cowgirls have been competing on the Little Britches Rodeo circuit all over British Columbia and many finished the season in the top 10 at the yearend awards banquet in Barriere on Aug. 25. Bacardi Zimmerlee was the senior barrelracing champion. She also finished second in the breakaway roping and was in the top 5 in goat tying and pole bending. Bacardi was runner-up for the All Around Cowgirl award for the season. One weekend earlier, she won the BC Barrel Racing Association Finals Junior 1D even and took home a saddle and awards. Tayler McCullough was fourth overall in the province in barrel racing, and Kraig Loring, Kailey Dube and Wyatt McCullough all placed in the top 10 in their

events. Colby McCullough, Emma Blain and Hailey Ambler also competed in their first Little Britches Rodeo season. Local hockey players Brodie Moorman and Blaine Pigeon have been busy skating in Kamloops for the past few weeks. They have been competing in tryouts for Midget rep hockey teams based in Kamloops. Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market Susan Swan says the Clinton Farmers Market has been a great success for the summer of 2012. Visit the Farmers Market on Thursdays outside the Country Squire Gift Store, at 1600 Cariboo Highway, from mid-May to midOctober. A variety of vendors provide farm-fresh produce, baking, jams and jellies, fresh bannock, woodworking and jewelry for their customers. Community garden The Clinton Communities in Bloom Garden Club (CIBGC) constructed a community garden this year with the support of the Village of Clinton and Integris Credit Union.

Located behind the public washrooms at the north end of Clinton, the garden holds several raised beds that residents can rent ($5 a bed) to grow their own vegetables, flowers, herbs, etc. The creation of this garden took numerous donations of time, materials, tools and know-how. Drop by to check it out and if you wish to use a plot call Susan at 250-459-2224. The CIBGC appreciates the volunteer efforts of their members, spouses, and family members, local Lions and people who helped this project happen. Special thanks to Integris, which funded the garden through its advisory council, and to Darrel Schapansky for his expertise in installing the fence and for the donation of much of the material used in the construction of the garden beds and shed. Two volunteers of note are Don Shook and Andy May who designed and constructed the garden shed.

What a great day for 70 Mile House’s 150th birthday

70 MILE VIC POPIEL 250-456-2321

vpopiel70@hotmail.com

The 150th birthday party for 70 Mile House was a big success at the 70 Mile Community Hall. An estimated 400 people attended during the day and all 130 tickets for the pig roast dinner were sold. Dennis Huber oversaw the opening ceremony. On behalf of Thompson-Nicola Regional District Director Sally Watson. The ceremony included an interesting talk by Chief Mike Archie from the Canim Lake Band, and a history lesson from Stallard McConnell from Ashcroft. CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented a certificate from the province of British Columbia to Miriam Livingston. Many demonstrations took place during the day, including sheep herd-

ing by Dawna Warner and her border collie, a washerwoman demo, and a spinning and weaving display. There were races and a tug of war on the field in the afternoon. Inside the hall there was a display of old photos of 70 Mile House and photos of fires that have occurred locally. The quilt that was put together by students of the 70 Mile school was also on display. On the stage, hula dancers entertained a large group of spectators. There were also displays outside. Stallard brought an old trundle barrow that required two people to push and could hold up to 400 pounds of goods. Ken Huber displayed an old covered wagon, and an 1898 Studebaker Phaeton carriage. Fraser Nicola MLA Harry Lali and his family dropped in and presented Miriam with a certificate from the province, and then spent some time wandering around the grounds and looking at the displays. At 2 p.m., two large

cakes were brought out. Miriam and Mae McConnell cut the cakes and everyone lined up for a piece. Children were kept occupied with a bubble station, beanbag toss, marshmallow shoot, and a spot where they could paint lucky horseshoes. At 6 p.m., the dinner was put out and a full house enjoyed a feed of barbecued pork, beans, salad, vegetables and buns. The real work occurred before and after the event. Many volunteers erected tents, put up tables, chairs and concession grills, and brought in the food and drinks required, and then reversed the process the next day. Thanks to everyone who pitched in. Bingo The next 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department (70MHVFD) bingo will be held Sept. 27 at the Seventy Mile Access Centre (SMAC). Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and play starts at 7.

Seven inexpensive ways to update and beautify a home Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvement. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. There are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. Move furniture Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it.

A quick how-to for building a storage shed in your back yard Many people find space around a home at a premium after years spent accumulating things. The basement, attic and garage are commonly used. A storage shed makes a great place to put those items you can’t bear to discard. Sheds come in many shapes and sizes. Ready-made sheds can be erected on your property immediately, and some retailers will do so for an additional fee. The cost of a shed can vary greatly, from simple plastic sheds to more customized sheds. You may want to

build one yourself. This way you can be sure it is customized to fit your yard and is the right colour and style and made of secure and durable materials. While an adventurous project, shed building is typically within the skill-set of the average homeowner. Also, a shed

can be built in a weekend or two. Getting started • Consult with your local government to find out the zoning laws regarding sheds. You may need a building permit if the shed will feature a permanent foundation or is larger than a certain size. There also may be

rules regarding how far away the shed must be from the property line or even the height of the structure. • Find a style of shed you would like to emulate. Drive around to different stores that deal with homeimprovement projects and peruse the stock. Choose the features you like and mark them down. Take photos of the ones you really like. • You can purchase shed plans or have an architect draw them up, but that may be costly. There are also free shed plans online, some of which provide a list of necessary

According to Remodeling magazine’s 2011/12 “Cost Vs. Value Report,” replacement projects perform better in resale value than other types of remodeling projects. Siding-, windowand door-replacement projects all recoup between 69 and 78 per cent of their initial costs Replacement projects perhaps recoup so much value, because with the exception of roofing projects, each of the

projects examined in the report are priced at less than $19,000. Replacement projects also tend to rely heavily on durable, low-maintenance products, reducing the overall cost of the project while helping owners eventually regain more of their investment. In addition, replacement projects are known to instantly increase curb appeal, helping homeowners make a strong first impression with prospective buyers.

supplies. • Order your supplies and organize everything. A building materials centre may deliver all of your materials to your home. Once they are delivered, sort through

everything and mark whether the material is for the floor, walls or roof. If the shed will not be rooted to the ground but kept on skids or blocks, you will likely want to have some sort of base material, such as rocks

or gravel underneath, to deter animals from making home under the shed. • Enlist the help of a friend and get building. Once you get into a groove, you may find shed building comes easy to you.

Store-ganize your garage From power tools, rakes and shovels, to patio furniture, planters and summer sports equipment, bringing the backyard into the garage — and finding a place to keep everything — can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, with some simple planning this can be one job you proudly check off the fall cleaning list. Here are some garage storage tips: • Mount items, such as garden rakes, hoses and sports

equipment, a sidewall. • Organize hardware in plastic drawers and store alongside small power tools within a wall cabinet.

• Make use of ceiling space to store larger items. Ceiling mounted racks can hold everything from bicycles to patio chairs.

Take control of mold growth Moisture buildup can increase the probability of mold growth. For homeowners, mold growth can lead to poor indoor air quality and worse. Using a modern insulation material, such as spray foam insulation, in crawl spaces helps reduce airborne irritants and promotes better indoor air quality. Properly insulated crawl spaces control moisture and air

seal and save on energy bills while improving occupant comfort. Homeowners should properly insulate the crawl space within their homes to protect from two main problems. Firstly, by maintaining an acceptable temperature within the crawl space during winter, homeown-

ers can avoid cold, uncomfortable floors above.

ing the warmer summer months can decrease the chances of mold growth or buckling hardwood floors above. Spray foam insulation can help reduce the likelihood of moisture gathering within crawl spaces. Left uninsulated, homeowners run the risk of compromising their home’s durability and comfort not to mention possible unexpected repair costs.

Secondly, removing excess humidity in crawl spaces dur-

Use proper paint and primer for best results Painting is a job that requires preparation and the right equipment. Homeowners are often unsure about whether they need to use primer before painting or if just paint will do the trick. Consider a room where the walls have been heavily stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or

another factor. Deepset stains may bleed through regular paint; therefore, a primer should be applied to help block and lock-in the stain. When a room had previously been painted in a very dark colour, like red or purple, a primer can help cover the colour quickly without the need for multiple applications

of regular paint. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, which often contain a lot of moisture. These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. Primers also may be used on materials, such as metal or plastic, to help the coloured paint stick to the surface of the item. If a room is only to be painted white or tinted slightly with

coats for coverage. If skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that boasts good coverage in one or two coats. There are new products that offer primer and paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them. Keep in mind that the cost of a combination product may be more than traditional paint and primer.

Fall HOME Improvement

Make the most of small bathrooms Renovating bathrooms is commonly at the top of homeimprovement to-do lists. Although some rooms around the house may remain timeless, bathrooms, like kitchens, show their age (and era) much more easily, which could be why homeowners are always on the lookout for new ideas. Many people may dream about creating a spa-type oasis in their homes, but not everyone is lucky enough to have a large bathroom, much less a large budget for a full-scale renovation. Small bathrooms are common, particularly in older homes, but they needn’t force homeowners to compromise on style when renovating. When space is at a premium, it’s best to look for fixtures and items that fit with the scale of the bathroom. Although you may want a large vanity and cabinet in which to hide all of your toiletries, this may not be practical because it takes up most of the bathroom. Instead, look for elegant pedestal sinks that have a much smaller profile. They’ll also help you control the clutter in the bathroom because there won’t be anywhere to hide it. Use optical illusions to make the bathroom appear roomy. For example, lay tile diagonally to create the impression of space. A large mirror will reflect the room back and make it appear

much larger than it really is. Select lighter hues in paint colours and accessories. Dark paints and fixtures could make the room feel cramped. Dark colours are generally used to make spaces feel cozy. In a small bathroom, it may make the space feel claustrophobic. Instead, think light and bright and the room will instantly feel more airy. Minimize wall hangings and keep fixtures smaller. Filling the walls with knickknacks may contribute to clutter and make the space appear closed in. Use decorative items sparingly. If possible, store towels in a closet outside of the bathroom. This way you won’t have to devote space inside the bathroom to a closet, leaving more room for other things. While some people like the thought of a separate bath and shower, in smaller bathrooms this may not be possible. Instead, look for a combined shower and bath, or select a walkin shower with a much smaller profile. Windows are often welcome in bathrooms because of the ventilation they provide, but they could be a hindrance in smaller bathrooms because they take up prime wall space. Cover a window in a shower stall to free up space. Just be sure to install a venting fan to reduce moisture in the bathroom. Find cabinets that

Consider a frameless shower. This is a partitioned area of the bathroom that’s set aside for the shower and is typically only cordoned off by a thin wall or piece of glass.

A shower with no walls at all is the ultimate in space-saving. The entire bathroom floor is decked out in tile, and a portion is sloped toward a shower drain. Think about installing a skylight if you prefer natural light, but there is no room for a traditional window.

Ask an Expert:

How should I stack my ﬁrewood ?

Phone Martina, Heather or Chris at

Whether you burn firewood as a recreational activity in your fireplace or you burn firewood as your source of winter heat, there are rules you should follow when you stack your firewood. One of the best ways to stack seasoned firewood so that it is less apt to develop mold and rot problems is to get it on a base that is off the ground.

Total Living Area: 1144 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 1 bathrooms

Woodheat.org has a suggestion for keeping seasoned ﬁrewood off the ground that advises using unseasoned wood as a platform. Simply lay some unseasoned wood on the ground, then stack the seasoned wood on top of it. If you have access to wooden pallets, these also make an excellent base for stacking seasoned ﬁrewood safely off the ground.

Cover your seasoned firewood with a tarp to protect it from the elements. A dry seasoned wood burns hotter than damp wood. Keep the wood away from the house to prevent carpenter ants and other insects from getting into the house. No matter how tightly you stack your firewood, insects will find their way in. You do not want to give them direct access to your home as well.

Horseback riding safety tips

Inexperienced and even veteran riders must follow principles of riding safety to greatly reduce their risk of injury. • Wear a helmet. Riders should always wear a properly fitted equestrian helmet. Make sure the helmet is certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Safety Equipment Institute. Don’t mistakenly assume a bicycle helmet

of the head. • Be safe with stirrups. Beginners should inquire about safety stirrups, which can greatly reduce the risk of being dragged by the horse. But even more experienced riders should wear a boot with a good heal when riding. This keeps the foot from slipping through the stirrups. • Don’t become a backseat rider. Horseback riding can be a relaxing hobby, but riders should never get too relaxed when riding a horse. When riding, keep in mind you are on an animal. Stay alert when riding. Avoiding injury while horseback riding often comes down to a few precious seconds. In the blink of an eye, a person can either avert an injury or succumb to an accident. Though horseback riding is a leisurely and relaxing hobby, riders should always stay alert. • Never ride alone. Inexperienced and even veteran riders should

will do the trick. Bicycle helmets are designed to bear impact on the front or side of the head, while equestrian helmets are designed to bear impact on the back of the head. This is an important distinction, as the head injuries from horse riding often are to the back

POST POUNDING

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, an estimated 78,499 horseback riding injuries occurred in 2009. While more than half of those injuries happened to men and women between the ages of 25 to 64, all age groups are potentially susceptible to injury when horseback riding. While there are no guarantees when getting on a horse, there are steps riders can take to reduce their risk of injury when horseback riding. • Sign up for lessons. Riders with minimal or no riding experience should get lessons from a professional. Lessons are expensive but often worth the additional cost. When looking for lessons, consider bringing a friend of similar skill level along, as many instructors offer discounted rates for couples or larger groups.

CELL: 250-706-8144 HM: 250-791-6420 USING PRECISE LASER LEVELLING EQUIPMENT

always ride with an experienced partner. Should an accident occur, a partner can administer CPR if necessary and call for help. When going out for a ride, make sure at least one rider has brought along his or her cell phone. • Never ride under the influence of alcohol or medication. Riders should always be coherent and sober when riding. Alcohol and recreational or prescription drugs greatly reduce a person’s reaction time, which can put them in significant danger when horseback riding. Horseback riding can be a rewarding and relaxing hobby. But riders should always exercise caution and follow principles of riding etiquette to reduce the risk of injury to themselves and fellow riders.

Fun and Interesting Horse Facts • Horses do not have a gall bladder. • When a domesticated horse is released in the wild they shed all traces of domestication rapidly. • In the wild a foal will suckle until they are one year old, in some conditions this can be longer. • Stallions will fight over females but generally not over territory. • Horses have better memories than elephants. • Horses have the largest eyes of any land animal. • Horses are not color-blind. • At one time people thought that horses were color blind. Although it is more difficult for them to see purples and violets, they have less trouble with yellows and greens. • A horse’s teeth take up more space in their head than their brain. • Adult male horses generally have 40 teeth and females 36. • The horse has binocular vision, but can also see different things in each eye. This is why you need to show your horses the spooky things in both eyes so the brain can get the message that it’s not spooky.

Local riders fare well in motocross series ENTERTAINMENT Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Number 52, Brad Perron got some big air as he placed second overall in season standings in the Beginner MX-2 division of the North series of the Canadian Kawasaki/BCMA Motocross Championship Series.

Racing saw fierce competition from a trio of South Cariboo riders at the Prince George Blackwater Motocross Track, Sept. 15-16. It was the last shot for Brad Perron, Patrick Griffin and Brandon Watrich to improve their standings in the Beginner MX-2 division in the North series of the Canadian Kawasaki/BCMA Motocross Championship Series. Perron showed the confidence he has displayed all season and took first place both days and finished second overall in the North series. Watrich had a couple of problems on day 1, which left him in ninth place, but he regained his ground on day 2 with a second-place showing. The strong comeback led him to a fifth-place finish in the overall standings. Griffin finished a solid fourth on the first day of racing, and on day 2, prospects also looked good. He held third place through most of his last race before running into mud and suffering a crash, which knocked him into fourth place for the day and seventh overall in the series. All three boys have the option to race in the remainder of the South Series events, which includes one race in Kamloops at the end of September and wraps up Oct. 14 in Ashcroft.

Tomahawks dealing with strong talent pool Prospects appear to be promising for the fledgling Lac la Hache Tomahawks Central Interior Hockey League senior men’s team, which skated in its inaugural season last year. Team tryouts are in progress, and so far, each one has attracted between 20 and 25 hopefuls onto the ice. The first two sessions were held Sept. 8-9 in Williams Lake and the latest two were in 100 Mile House, Sept. 15-16. Lac la Hache will be the location of the next set, scheduled for Sept. 22-23 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Coach Al Navrot says he’s seeing some new faces and a lot of strong talent. “We’re better off this year than at the same time last year. We’ve got more confidence now and a year under our belt. We also have more credibility.”

He says the 100 Mile House tryouts only drew three local players, including Wade Balbirnie and Roy Nichol. Navrot says this surprised him. “I know there are some good hockey players there. Maybe something will happen in Lac la Hache.” With folding of the Hazelton Wolverines at the end of last season, Navrot says the Tomahawks may benefit, as a couple of their strong players are taking an interest in playing for his team. Navrot says Gilbert Robbins, who played with the Williams Lake Stampeders last year, has also been attending the Tomahawks practices. Robbins scored the winning goal for the Stamps’ Coy Cup win last year. “He’s a good hockey player and very versatile. He’s got lots of spirit.”

Ken Alexander photo

Wade Balbirnie, front, kept goalie Willy Sellars busy between the pipes during tryouts held last weekend in 100 Mile House for the Central Interior Hockey League Lac la Hache Tomahawks. Navrot has heard a few of his key players from the Ashcroft area, including Ryan, Cody and Kyle Minnabarriet plan on returning this season. “The door is open until Jan. 10, the final carding day. It’s going to be competitive. We’re out to win.”

Navrot says he hopes to be on practice ice in the last week of September at their home rink, Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena, in Lac la Hache. Their season opener is a home game on Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. against the Stampeders and their last is a home game on Jan. 12 against Terrace

River Kings. League teams play 18 games in total, with nine home games apiece. The Tomahawks will soon be looking for sponsorship ads for their game programs and businesses interested in buying an ad can contact Eva Navrot at 250-392-2498.

Mark Boyce, from Canim Lake sets his sights set on a new year with the KIJHL Chase Heat.

Boyce checks in to second season with Chase Heat Mark Boyce of Canim Lake is lacing up again this season with the Chase Heat of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The former 100 Mile House Midget centre played 28 games last year with Chase, registering three goals and five assists. His season started out rocky with a broken collar bone suffered last September during tryouts with the Creston Thundercats. “That was my biggest challenge last year. I had to get my legs back after a one-month injury.” This year, he missed the Chase main camp as it conflicted with an important ball tournament, but got in on a week-long mini camp. From there, it’s been all good and he’s looking forward to the new season. “It’s nice fast hockey - a good pace. The guys last year were good and I like the small community.” Boyce played centre during his years with the 100 Mile House minor hockey club, but chose to play right wing in Chase. “I turned down the chance to play centre. I thought wing was the best fit for me.” The 2012/13 hockey season will be a busy one for the Chase team with up to three games a week, but Boyce says he is committed. “I dreamed of doing this as a kid. I’ve played hockey ever since I could walk, playing in the backyard rink behind the house. My whole family played hockey and they taught me a lot.”

A total of 38 women turned out for the annual event and enjoyed a funfilled day of golf in the sun. Along with individual games, each foursome also played a pink coloured group ball. Players alternated taking shots with the ball and the group of Anne Pinkney, Maureen Pinkney, Carol Ohlund and Louise Mayes were winners of that challenge. Laverne Martin shot 37 to claim the low score individual win and Martin also claimed a birdie prize along with Janet Herrick.

Figure skaters lace up for new season

The 100 Mile Old Timer’s Hockey Association is inviting interested players to register for the 2012/2013 Season! This is a Draft League. All players must be 35 by January 1, 2013.

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Please note registration costs are as follows: Full time $280 — Shift worker $180 — Goalies $130

Skating season has begun at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, with the 100 Mile Figure Skating Club on the ice from Monday through Friday. Programs began Sept. 10, but the club is still taking registration, says director Janeen L’Heureux. “There are no late charges. Give us a call and we’ll meet you at the arena, help you fill out the forms and we’ll get your kids on the ice.” The club offers lessons for all abilities, from the beginners CanSkate learn-to-skate program, which also teaches skating skills necessary for playing hockey, to STARSkate, which prepares skaters for competition. L’Heureux says they’re always looking for help on the ice and she’d like to hear from people who could assist with coaching. The figure skating season ends in March, and between now and then, skaters will have a number of opportunities to compete and the entire club will participate at an inhouse competition in the spring. Lesson times for the STARSkate program are Monday, 3:30-5:15 p.m.; Wednesday, 4:306 p.m.; and Friday, 3:30-5:45 p.m. CanSkate and Group STAR take to the ice Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30-5:15 p.m. For more information, contact club president Jenn Plewes at 250-706-7212.

108 Men’s Night follows the sun and takes the chill 108 MEN'S GOLF By Spence Henderson A total of 61 golfers at 108 Golf Resort Men’s Night on Sept. 12 enjoyed pleasant fall weather and started a little earlier than usual to keep pace with shorter days and cooler temperatures. Jim Zailo played

his semifinal match play game against James Clancy, and advanced to play against George McGibbon. Zailo was the low-gross winner with 36, beating Shane Wilkie in a countback. Zailo also picked up one of four first flight deuces and the closest-to-thepin (KP). McGibbon also had a deuce and both shot excellent rounds. Bill Baerg and

golf pro, Andy Wahnschaff, had the other deuces along with Rob Douglas in the second flight. Douglas’ deuce helped him shoot one of two scores of 39 in the second flight with the other recorded by John Tomlinson. Tim Giesbrecht actually had a lower net second flight score than both. Dave Wolczuk and Gord Spare led the third flight, and in total, 11 golfers broke 40.

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

HISTORY OF 100 MILE HOUSE and AREA One Day at a Time documents the tremendous revolution that took place in the B.C. Interior’s forest industry three and four decades ago. In one way or another, Dave Ainsworth has had his hand in every aspect of this revolution. Dave is one of those people who knows how to put his vision into practice. It’s this tremendous resourcefulness we owe him credit for. I know of no other book that so accurately records the vital changes that have taken place in the woods and at the sawmills; it’s a record that will beneﬁt the whole industry. Ray Williston, B.C. Minister of Lands and Forests, 1956-1972

The gates open at 8 a.m. and there’s no admission charge. Airport manager Nick Christianson says the event was created several years ago to acquaint the public with the airport and it’s just grown from there. To start things off, the Wheelroom at the 108 Golf Resort, will be serving a pancake breakfast between 8 and 11 a.m. and it is located in the parking area before you

The cost is $20 and tickets can be purchased at the Wheelroom or at the resort’s front desk. Throughout the day on the tarmac, people can have a close look at a variety of aircraft that are expected to be flying in from all over British Columbia. Depending on the weather, Christianson says there may be up to 60 planes. There will be several displays, including one by the Peter Skene Ogden

Secondary School aviation program and emergency vehicles from the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department. A plane will fly over the site several times throughout the day and drop candy on the tarmac for a scramble.

Three Climber, Dick Munro has done and months later, signing up the most new subscribers netted him a free trip to Victoria. Upon graduation from Squamish High School, he began driving various trucks for a year before joining the PGE Railway in 1956, passing his exams and becoming the youngest railroad engineer in Canada. The same year, his desire to serve his community kicked in and he joined the Squamish Volunteer Fire Department, which his grandfather had started and with whom both his father and grandfather had been fire chiefs. Dick later became the fire chief for all three fire halls in Squamish. After driving trucks over the years, he realized a longtime desire of owning and operating a logging truck and formed R.A. Munro Trucking. In 1963, his interest in logging sports was kindled. Surrey’s Danny Sailor, the World Champion Tree Climber at the time, came to the Squamish Loggers’ Sports for an exhibition. A theatrical performer, among Sailor’s tricks was standing Dick Munro is seen here with his World on his hands on top of the pole, and Championship Tree Climbing trophy that he won after throwing his hat off from the in Albany Oregon, in 1967. He was 29 years old top of the pole, beating the hat to the at the time and had only been climbing for five ground. Sailor took Dick under his wing years. Munro had just returned from Montreal Expo ‘67, where he did a show for twice a day and showed him the ropes of tree climbing. Using an old pair of spurs, for one month.

Dick Munro used to fly up and down the tall poles at the Lac la Hache Regatta in 1974/75. He was mostly competing at local competitions, including the Likely Logger Days. Dick learned how to ascend and descend from great heights. “I went up to the power lines and started practising on their poles.” Like any sport, there is a technique to racing up and down 100-foot poles. Strength is certainly a virtue as is being a

lightweight. Regular long climbing spurs were used, but they were shortened and bent to customize them. Climbers wanted spurs that would grip on the way up, but could

“‘roll out” coming down, so they wouldn’t catch on the poles. Using soft gloves for a better grip on the rope, Dick says they turned their hands backwards and slid down on the backs of their hands. “We glued a chunk of horse or moose hide on the backs of the gloves, so you wouldn’t burn through them on the way down.” He explains that during competition, the spurs have to touch the tree every 15 feet. “You rang the bell at the top, and immediately dropped about 10 or 15 feet. The closer your hands were together the slower you went. In those days, it was much easier finding the ideal 80- and 100-foot trees than it would be today, he notes. “Both peeled trees and trees with the bark still on were used, but the peeled trees were faster - the bark didn’t slow you down on the descent and your spurs wouldn’t get caught in bark grooves typical of Douglas-fir.” The trees used in the World Championship in Oregon still had the bark on them, Dick says, adding the optimum diameter for pole-climbing trees was 30 inches with as little taper as possible. The more consistent the diameter, the faster a climber could go because he wouldn’t have to keep adjusting his rope length, he explains. Dick remembers trying to get the bigger trees out of the bush for tree climbing. “They needed two trucks to get them out – the butt end was on the first truck and the top

was on the second truck, which drove backwards out of the bush.” In August 1962, he won the Novice Tree Climbing Division at the Squamish Logger’s Sports. In 1966, Sooke was sanctioned to hold the Canadian Championship Tree Climbing event, which Dick won in July. The PNE in Vancouver was sanctioned for the BC Championship Tree Climbing event in 1966. In August, he captured that title, which resulted in an invitation to climb at Expo ‘67 in Montreal the following year. Accompanied by his wife, Dick spent a month in Montreal, and he appeared daily in the timber show on La Ronde. He calculated that by climbing a 100-foot pole four times a day for a month, he climbed 1.5 miles straight up. Later that same year Munro was in Oregon and won the World Championship Tree Climbing Event in Albany. In 1970, Dick left the lumber business, got his pilot’s licence in 1971 and moved his family up to the 100 Mile House area. Again, he showed his versatility by driving

various trucks, a school bus, purchasing his first aircraft, becoming a realtor and starting Aspen Realty with Phil Roux, Gordon Marshall, and Gordon Ireland. While real estate and flying moved to the forefront of his busy life, Dick didn’t completely leave the logging industry behind. From 1974 to 1978, he organized a logging show at McKinley Beach at the Lac la Hache Regatta and was also involved in the Likely Logger Sports, which was huge in its day. He started the Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department and was chief from 1974 to 1980. At 50, Munro obtained his commercial pilot’s licence, and in 1990, he began flying bush planes in Fort St. James. Several years later, he formed his own charter business - Cariboo Air. While he has given away most of his tree climbing trophies over the years, he still has his World Championship hardware. Dick remembers his pole-climbing years fondly. “It was great, especially meeting the people and seeing the places I did. I made a lot of good friends over the years, and I’m still in touch with some of these guys.”

Idol competition wraps up for another season

By Monika P Paterson

This year’s Cariboo Idol competition was opened up to the entire Cariboo area and organizer Rob Fry says it did present a few challenges. Despite that, he adds there was a great variety of entertainers with an excellent mix of different and unique styles of music. This year’s winner was John Robert (JR) Goodwin from Quesnel, and Fry says he was the judge’s hands-down winner. He adds he represents the Cariboo “very well” and is a great entertainer and interacts with his audience well. Goodwin went home with $500. Second-place money ($250) went to 16-year-old Jason Ruscheinsky of 100 Mile House. He was a crowd pleaser with his witty humour and some of his off-thecuff antics, that got the crowd chuckling, says Fry. Williams Lake’s Brett Myrfield took home third place and the $100 that went with it. Fry says his style of playing and his unique song writing was a good addition

The Fans Choice award went to Mikayla Mosher who also received $100. Noting she came a long ways from her first performance, Fry says he feels she has a future in music if she chooses to go

that route. This year’s judges included Cindy Fetzner, Bev Fry, Denny Fahrenholtz, Sue Tonkin and Larry Rode. Fry says they had some tough decisions to make and did a great job. Fry says he was very pleased to see NEW

As part of the competition, all the Idols get time at Fry’s New Age Studio to lay down a few tracks for their own CD. “I am impressed with the original song-writing abilities of this year’s Idol competitors and would like to see them recorded.” Plans are already underway for next year’s competition with a few format changes to alleviate some of the issues found this year. The competition will once again be open to the entire Cariboo from 70 Mile House to Quesnel and the Chilcotin. However, contestants will have to understand the travel commitments and most of the events will be planned in advance. The Cariboo Idols can be booked in advance for different events, Fry says, adding he hopes to have next year’s group perform at a number of additional venues around the Cariboo.

If you have seen him or know his whereabouts, please call Jim West at 250456-6016 who would really like to have him

back home. Thank you A huge thank-you goes out to area resident Lyndsay Moore who has generously donated a sound system to the Lone Butte Community Hall. This, in combination with a financial grant received from the Williams Lake and District Credit Union to install some acoustic tile on the walls, will greatly improve the acoustics in the hall.

The next general meeting will be held on Oct. 9. Come one, come all and get involved in your community. Call

Sick child flourishes with community support Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

In March, people came together and raised nearly $10,000 through a dinner/ auction for two-year-old Joy Blondahl - a sick child in the Philippines who they did not know. Her step-dad is Jacob Blondahl, who grew up in the South Cariboo, and her grandmother is Kathy Blondahl of 108 Mile Ranch. Kathy says many people have asked about how little Joy is doing and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to let everyone know.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to the people who supported the fundraiser. The funds raised helped to save her life.â&#x20AC;? Joy and her mother have since immigrated to Canada and live as a family with Jacob on Salt Spring Island. Joy is treatmentfree at the present time, but any future medical expenses can now be covered by medical insurance.

Joy Blondahl, front, has a lot of energy to dance with her sister, Michalou.

Joy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2011 but hope for treatment was minimal due to the high cost of medical services in her country. The money raised in the South Cariboo was enough to pay for Joyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatments and drugs, and Kathy is happy to say that the illness is in check. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in remission and is doing well. The drugs kicked in quickly and did what they were supposed to do and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible without the generous donations and prayers.â&#x20AC;? Kathy says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to see Joy happy and healthy.
