Murdered teen’s killer identified The stunning news RCMP identified the man responsible for the death of Lac la Hache teen Colleen MacMillen almost four decades ago came with a plea for help in police investigations. MacMillen was last seen leaving her home and walking up to Highway 97 on Aug. 9, 1974, as she was planning to hitchhike to a friend’s house nearby. Her body was found a month later close to a logging road 46 kilometres south of there. On Sept. 25, RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, of the British Columbia RCMP Major Crime Special Projects Unit, announced a major break in Bobby Jack Fowler the case came from DNA evidence positively matched to deceased American convict Bobby Jack Fowler. “Based on what E-PANA investigators know today, Fowler is responsible for the murder of 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen,” said Shinkaruk. MacMillen was part of the ongoing E-PANA investigation into 18 girls and women on the Highway of Tears list of victims who vanished from highways 16, 97 and 5 between 1969 and 2006. Fowler has been eliminated as a suspect in eight of the files, but remains a person of interest in the remaining cases, as a potential serial killer.

Forest Week celebrates forests, communities By Steve Thomson As British Columbia’s Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, I’m pleased to celebrate National Forest Week, Sept. 23-29. This year’s theme, Healthy Forests - Healthy Communities, provides an opportunity to reflect on how forests and communities are connected. This year, the province celebrates the centennial birthday of the BC Forest Service (BCFS). For the past 100 years, the BCFS has managed and protected our forests, so we all can enjoy the benefits they offer. Whether providing great economic benefits - accounting for more than 53,000 direct jobs supporting families all around the province, or recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, our forests play a significant role in local communities. B.C. continues to be a world leader in sustainable forest management

and maintains its commitment to the environment by producing more lumber certified to environmental standards that any other region in the world. Over the past year, B.C.’s forest industry has benefited from a positive 15 per cent increase in lumber prices, and to the end of June, a 17 per cent increase in lumber exports to the United States, compared to the same time last year. Both of these increases are helping local mills prosper and supporting jobs. As B.C.’s forest sector continues its recovery from 2009, we still face challenges, such as the mountain pine beetle. On Aug. 15, the Special Committee on Timber Supply released a report that provides 20 recommendations to increase the timber supply and value of mid-term timber in B.C.’s Interior forests. A number of the re c o m m e n d a t i o n s reflect actions already underway by the ministry, and we will work closely with commu-

nities, First Nations and stakeholders to implement all of the report’s recommendations. I can assure you the ministry’s response to the committee’s recommendations will provide a solid foundation for us to move forward and will address the needs of communities and families in the region. Our forests are not

n o i t Ac

only about jobs. We manage our forests for a multitude of values, including fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, cultural heritage, and recreation. During National Forest Week, I hope you take the opportunity to enjoy our forests firsthand.” Steve Thomson is the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Backcountry roads to be kept open South Cariboo Theatre Amendments to the Occupiers Liability Act to help prevent resource road closures and reduce the possibility of injury-related lawsuits are now in effect, as the general public heads into the backcountry to enjoy British Columbia’s wilderness. B.C. has an estimated 450,000 kilometres of resource roads that provide commercial and recreational links to vast expanses of the province’s b a c k c o u n t r y. Currently, roads that do not access yearround communities are sometimes closed to the public after an industrial user no longer needs the road. The amendments will help keep more backcountry roads open by establishing that people using resource roads of their own accord do so substantially at their own risk. In addition to lowering the duty of care owed by the Crown and road maintainers, the revised legislation shifts the onus for personal injury insurance coverage to third-party users and brings the government’s resource road policy into line with policies cover-

Steve Thomson ing rural agricultural land and marked recreational trails. Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson says these changes are an

important first step to simplifying the regulations covering B.C.’s vast network of resource roads. “Reducing the possibility of injury-related lawsuits will encourage road maintainers to keep roads open and preserve access to B.C.’s wilderness areas.” ATV Association of BC spokesperson Terry Wardrop says the association membership use these roads, both new and old, and feel they should be left open whenever environmentally possible. “As recreation-

al users, we’re willing to accept reasonable accountability in return for the ability to enjoy our sport in a sustainable manner.” B.C. Wildlife Federation president Bill Bosch says his group supports the amendments because they will keep more back country roads open for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation. “The B.C. Wildlife Federation can provide liability insurance to its members through clubs, direct members and programs, such as the outdoor passport.”

Fire helps create forest diversity The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations provides the following facts about the ecological role of wildfires: â&#x20AC;˘ Fire renews and restores habitats by thinning the forest cover and enhancing the growth of grasses and shrubs. This results in vegetation of different ages and types, offering a mix of habitats for many species of insects, mammals and birds. Some threatened species, such as badgers, require open

forest and grassland for survival. Forest fires also create a more resilient forest that can better respond to disease and insect infestations. â&#x20AC;˘ Fires release nutrients that are locked up in slowly decaying logs and other organic material. The enriched soil then stimulates new growth and improves the nutrient content of new vegetation, which is an important food source for wildlife. â&#x20AC;˘ Some trees and shrubs have evolved to depend on

fire to reproduce. One example is the lodgepole pine, which has cones that are sealed by resin. Heat from a fire melts this resin and releases the seeds from the cone. â&#x20AC;˘ Trees, such as western larch, Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine, have bark that is so thick it insulates the living tissue and allows them to survive surface fires. Fire occurs naturally in stands of these trees every five to 20 years, keeping the forest floor relatively clean of

combustible material. This reduces the possibility of more severe fires that burn hotter and may damage soils or kill these trees. â&#x20AC;˘ Fire can open up a thickly treed forest, letting in sunlight to encourage the growth of shrubs and grasses that are forage for wild and domestic animals. Without periodic fires, sunlight-loving trees, such as ponderosa pine, give way to shade-tolerant trees, such as Douglas-fir, changing the diversity of the forest.

that time period, then have a look at his photos and please call us with any information you may have about him.â&#x20AC;? People who have any information, even seemingly

minor, are asked to call the E-PANA tip line at 1-877-543-4822, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). See the related story in the Sept. 26 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press.

E-PANA investigators are now looking for connections to Fowler in these and other cases, and are asking the public for

help with the investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe there are people out there who employed Fowler, worked with him, socialized with him or even waited on him while he was in British Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking you to think back to the 1970s, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, and your own memories of that

ARIES

No matter what type of negotiation youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved in, take care to rely on exact information. Relying on your impressions will cause you more confusion than anything else.

Chrissy won free lunch at â&#x20AC;&#x153;BJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Donuts & Eateryâ&#x20AC;? in 100 Mile House B.C. CONGRATULATIONS!

TAURUS

You may get involved in some kind of sports activity. Your competitive spirit will take over and coming in second will be out of the question. You will enjoy all the glory you worked for. GEMINI

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling overtired, it means, paradoxically, that you need to get more exercise. Adopting a new lifestyle will give you a lot more energy. CANCER

Stress isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a negative thing. It could provide you with the necessary motivation to achieve some brilliant exploits. Schedule some time away from work so you can balance out the different areas of your life. LEO

People with this sign often thirst for power. You were born to be a leader and to manage your own empire. This week many of the necessary elements to start your own small business will fall into place. VIRGO

A vacation looms on the horizon. Even if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take place for a few months, nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time to start preparing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps by getting a new passport.

You might witness an unfair remark that causes a bit of a stir around you. You will have an important role to play in restoring harmony. SCORPIO

You find it hard to tolerate any kind of injustice and you tend to try and resolve unjust situations by yourself. While you play the parts of policeman and judge in one such situation this week, a bit of tact will allow you to manage things more successfully.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

SAGITTARIUS

You will work with a great deal of energy and thoroughness to come to an agreement or sign a contract. Even if you suffer a lot of anxiety and sleeplessness, you will be extremely successful in the end. CAPRICORN

You may be given a position of authority at work. For the sake of your health it is important to learn how to control your emotions and to express them appropriately when you need to.

FOR ANSWER: See the Oct. 3rd FREE PRESS Puzzle No 369

AQUARIUS

You will see some almost instantaneous results with a new diet. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find this very satisfying and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be very proud of yourself. PISCES

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to express your feelings with tact and integrity to family members with whom you have something to settle. There will be a bit of nostalgia in the air.

New skills and training

DONNA BARNETT

MLA REPORT British Columbia will face an interesting challenge in the coming years. While many governments struggle to deal with issues, such as unemployment and a shortage of jobs, we know we will soon face a shortage of workers, as the number of jobs will grow exponentially. In the coming years, we expect to see one million new job openings in our province, and of those one million new jobs,

about 43 per cent of them will need trades and technical training. Last week, we announced a comprehensive plan to expand and align skills training programs with economic opportunities to ensure British Columbians have the right skills, in the right places, at the right times. Under the Canada Starts Here: BC Jobs Plan, the B.C. Liberal government unveiled the new Skills and Training Plan, which will establish a more effective skills and training system. It will be built on four key areas of action: • Promoting and profiling today’s training for tomorrow’s careers, government will work to promote the dynamic opportunities in the trades

Court date for bestiality charge A Vancouver man accused of having sex with one of his dogs in Forest Grove is due in court next week. On Oct. 2, Brian Anthony Cutteridge, 37, is expected to plead guilty to one charge of bestiality, and will be sentenced the same day. The case is largely built on video seized of Cutteridge having sexual relations with a Rottweiler he owned. When a veterinarian became suspicious of the dog’s poor condition, the SPCA got involved. Following a search of his father’s home in Forest Grove, the suspect was arrested in July 2010 and his three dogs were seized. Although the maximum penalty for

bestiality is 10 years in prison, Cutteridge is expected to face a lengthy period of probation.

and technical fields and improve policies to support these choices. • Investing $75 million to improve training facilities and equipment, and ensuring the availability of technical education teachers, particularly with trades’ certification. • Getting the right mix and quality of trades and technical programs and reducing the time required to achieve certification while maintaining the high standards required by employers. • Matching economic immigration selection to meet B.C’s labour market needs. Last week, we also announced $17 million in funding to upgrade skills

training equipment at public post-secondary institutions around the province. An extensive inventory and analysis will be conducted of the skilled training equipment at each B.C. post-secondary institution. For those local institutions in the Cariboo-Chilcotin that will apply for funding, I will be at the table working hard to ensure we get the funding we need. There is a great demand for trades training in rural B.C., and I’m making sure workers have the supports they need to take advantage of the economic opportunities that lie ahead of us, right here at home. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Free Press

The South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) received a financial boost from a couple of recent community donations to its 2012 fundraising campaign. A $937.97 donation raised at the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) conference was recently handed over to the foundation by District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall and Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond. Richmond says he and Campsall went around selling raffle tickets to delegates and their spouses during a dinner at last May’s NCLGA conference in 100 Mile. Campsall adds it is a tradition at these conferences as a fun and friendly contest between local politicians “running

“You wouldn’t believe what they wanted us to do. Would you give me your first born, would you get me a glass of wine – these were the things we had to promise.” The delegates were “generous with their money” considering they also had to pay for the conferences, he says, adding it was for a “very wor-

thy cause.” “Without the foundation, the [emergency room] upgrades that were previously done probably wouldn’t have happened.” In another recent donation, the SCHF received close to $5,000 raised at the Save-OnFoods Pointing the Way event this summer. 100 Mile House Save-On-Foods man-

ager Bruce Caspar says customer donations of member points, matched by the store, raised $3,296 for SCHF. “Everybody had fun in the store and a big thank you to the customers because they were so great at donating their points.” Then hotdog sales, raffles at the store and baskets donated for the foundation’s own raffles boosted that up

raised will be used to purchase a portable ultrasound machine, additional stretchers and lab equipment for the 100 Mile District General Hospital, which she says will help with patient care and assist staff.

Students urged to write essay for prizes The Association of BC Forest Professionals (ABCFP) wants young people to celebrate National Forest Week, Sept. 23-29, so it is hosting an essay contest.

The essay contest is open to students aged 13 to 18 and carries a top prize of $300 (as well as two runner-up prizes of $150 each). Students are invited to write a short essay about

what the forest means to them or to the province of British Columbia. They might choose to write about recreational opportunities, the environment, the economic benefits or

the cultural aspects of the forests or a combination of these factors. Young people can also sign up for the ABCFP’s START program, which is designed to give sec-

ondary school and post-secondary students a head START on their way to becoming forest professionals. This free subscription gives students

the ABCFP’s magazine, BC Forest Professional, and the e-newsletter, The Increment, in addition to getting a discount on some association training events, such

as the annual conference. Visit the ABCFP website to find the essay contest rules or to sign up for a free START subscription, www.abcfp.ca.

Dog Days are for children too Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Kay Gibson likes dogs and she likes children and she also likes to see them have fun together. On Oct. 7, she will be hosting Dog Days at her home near Forest Grove with a lot of activities for children and their dogs to enjoy. There’ll be agility challenges, a hotdogeating contest, Frisbee catch and competition for the three best tricks and best-dressed dog. There will also be a trophy for the overall top dog of the day. The event is free of charge and dogs must be on a leash and have up-to-date vaccinations. Gibson, who ran the same sort of event for several years at the fall fair, says she just enjoys doing it. “I do it mainly for the kids because there isn’t a lot going on for kids and their dogs.” Dog Days at 4414 Eagle Creek Rd., just one kilometre from Forest Grove General Store, starts at 1 p.m.

Put ‘home’ back in ‘homework’ After a long summer, it can be tough to get children back into a routine, and focused on homework. However, homework is a key part of children’s education, and it’s important they not only complete it, but also understand what they’ve learned. Studies show children’s achievements in school improve with increased parent involvement in education. ABC Life Literacy Canada offers these 10 tips: • Develop a daily routine by setting aside a specific time each day/evening for homework. • Provide a quiet, well-lit place with basic school supplies. • Understand your child’s style of learning, as this will help you develop a personalized homework plan for your child. • It’s not uncommon for children to get overwhelmed with big assignments or projects. Help them break the project down into smaller steps. Work

on pieces throughout the week and do the hard parts on the weekend. • Talk with your child’s teacher and be aware of their method of teaching. Help your child by using familiar terms and examples. • Don’t reserve learning to homework hour. Make learning a part of daily life. • If your child gets frustrated or distracted with their homework,

allow them to take a short break. If this frustration continues, talk with your child’s teacher to determine if a tutor might be needed. • To reinforce comprehension and memory skills, take 10 minutes to talk about the stories you’ve read together. • Show your child that the skills they are learning relate to real life. If your child is learning

math, for example, balance your cheque book or have them count out change for you. • Teach your child to be independent. Offer to help them with difficult homework challenges, but then let them complete the remainder on their own. For other family literacy tips and activities, visit FamilyLiteracy Day.ca.

Caring for a relative with Alzheimer’s By Dr. Pia Kontos Caring for a relative with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia can be more than overwhelming, says Dr. Pia Kontos, a Canadian Institutes of Health Researchfunded researcher. She holds a PhD in public health sciences from the University of Toronto, and offers these tips: • We often assume when people are

non-verbal they are incapable of expressing themselves. However, we found people with dementia continue to express dislikes through grimacing, restlessness or pushing away undesired food. At the same time, people with Alzheimer’s became calm when provided with food or activities that they liked, such as a cup of tea or painting.

• Biographical information can provide really helpful insight into what your relative may enjoy eating, doing or celebrating. Recalling what they used to like can help you find activities they will still enjoy now. • If your relative is in a long-term care facility, share your knowledge with his or her care providers. Your knowledge

Retire former legislature clerk, NDP MLAs state By Tom Fletcher Black Press

NDP MLAs used the first public meeting of the legislative management committee to call for former clerk of the house George MacMinn to be removed from his $240,000-a-year consulting job. NDP house leader John Horgan called for the second year of MacMinn’s consulting contract to be terminated, and asked if taxpayers are paying him for his car, club memberships or pension in addition to extending his salary. MacMinn stepped down last year after 54 years as a legislative clerk, the longest term in Commonwealth history. He served as chief clerk from 1993 until last year, when he agreed to make way for his longtime assistant Craig James. Horgan said the succession took place without consulting the official Opposition, and was “orchestrated” by MacMinn to include the consulting arrangement that extended his salary and benefits for two years. Horgan said committee members don’t know what MacMinn is supposed to do as a consultant, but public accounts show he was paid $250,000 plus $22,000 in travel

expenses last year. B.C. Liberal members of the committee agreed Tuesday to review MacMinn’s position, once a report is prepared on his duties. James warned the two-year term is legally binding, and if it was terminated, it could increase the cost to taxpayers. The B.C. Liberal majority voted to approve the appointment of James and the consulting role for MacMinn last year, with NDP MLAs opposed. Historically a secretive group overseeing the $70 million leg-

islature budget, the Legislative Assembly M a n a g e m e n t Committee was pushed into the open by a critical report issued in July by Auditor General John Doyle. The audit found that MLA credit card bills are being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hasn’t produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. Speaker Bill Barisoff, chair of the committee, said work is well along to implement the auditor’s recommendations.

of your family member’s likes and dislikes, their cultural background and their favourite hobbies are very important pieces of information for health-care staff to know, so they can individualize the care provided. • Sometimes, to save time, we do activities for our relatives rather than letting them do it themselves. We can underestimate the time it takes to help

someone else dress, wash or feed themselves, and we rush through the tasks. However, slowing down and taking a few extra minutes will help you both remain calm. • Taking care of a relative is definitely a monumental task and it can easily absorb all of your time, including limiting your personal activities. However, every caregiver should take at least a few

hours every week for themselves. It could mean going out with friends, participating in planned social activities, or going for a walk. If you know a caregiver, it would be a nice gesture to offer

to help with some of their responsibilities occasionally. It would most likely be greatly appreciated. Dr. Kontos is a Toronto Rehab scientist and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto.
