Adrian Dix dished up local dinner
Carole Rooney Free Press
A flight turned around at a foggy airport didn’t stop British Columbia NDP Leader Adrian Dix from visiting with local party members in the South Cariboo on Oct. 27. He was the special guest when the CaribooChilcotin NDP Constituency Association hosted its annual Fall Supper at the 100 Mile Curling Rink. The sold-out event saw about 100 local residents pack the rink lounge for a dinner prepared with locally grown food catered by the Horse Lake
NDP leader confabs on education issues
Community Farm Co-op. After his plane was sent back to Vancouver when dense fog prevented its landing in Williams Lake that morning, Dix flew to Kamloops later in the day, then drove to 100 Mile House. “The food was fantastic from the co-op. It was probably the best food I’ve had at a party event all year. It was a really great night.” The NDP leader addressed the group for about
40 minutes, and then fielded questions for about another hour. Some of the key issues he talked about was jobs and the economy, Dix says, and skills training in particular. “Our [province’s] apprenticeship program currently has a completion rate of 37 per cent.” He adds in a “general sense,” there is a shortage of more than 100,000 skilled workers for the next five years. There are insufficient training offerings in the North, Dix says, adding his party wants to ensure Continued on A3

When Clinton Emergency Services arrived at the scene, the mobile home was engulfed in flames. The sole, male occupant was located outside alert and conscious, but suffering burn injuries. Police and fire officials determined the cause of the fire was not suspicious, and appears to be accidental.

Clocked at 174 km/h, a Prince George man driving an SUV was seen travelling at excessive speeds from Lac la Hache to 100 Mile House. As he approached 100 Mile, he crossed into oncoming traffic and ended up crashed in the creek behind the Red Coach Inn.
High speed driver crashes into creek Tragedy narrowly averted, vehicle careens through traffic
According to local police, a man driving at excessive speeds on Highway 97 is lucky to be alive after he crashed into Little Bridge Creek behind the Red Coach Inn on Nov. 2. 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a complaint of a Nissan Pathfinder travelling at a high rate of speed through Lac la Hache around 1:30 p.m. Friday. They initiated a search, but had no licence plate code before the suspect was clocked on radar passing 108 Mile Ranch at 174 km/h. While the police cruiser turned around and radioed other officers with the update, the Nissan continued on at extreme speeds past Tatton Station Road.

It’s uncommon to see vehicles speeding to that extent, he notes, especially during an icy road season. One count of dangerous driving under the Criminal Code is being recommended to the Crown against the driver, a 31-year-old male resident of Prince George. The investigation is continuing. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the man’s driving or the subsequent collision to contact the 100 Mile RCMP at 250-395-2456, or stop by the detachment office at 726 Alpine Ave.

young people and others who need it have access to job training for the future. After many years and dollars spent on education, he notes B.C. students often find themselves ill equipped to transfer from school to industry. “In public colleges and institutes, we have equipment from the 1960s, so that’s a challenge when you’re transitioning to work.” Dix says it is “potentially

Dix adds he has heard comments on declining student enrolment leading to diminished opportunities at a time when young people need more opportunities. “The government’s argument is 80 per cent of the jobs of the future will require post-secondary education. “But, that tells us goodpaying jobs are less available for those who are just graduating from high school today. So, I’d argue these issues are more important to the economy in communities now
than they’ve ever been.” Other topics of discussion at the local dinner included small-business issues, such as government agencies not purchasing enough supplies in the small communities they are in, Dix says, adding food for hospital patients is a frequent example of that. Dix says he’s visited the area six or seven times since becoming party leader 18 months ago. “It’s obviously a very important constituency for us.”
OCp Changes expeCted The Cariboo Regional District is considering minor amendments to the Green Lake and Interlakes area official community plans (OCP). The goal is to better capture the watersheds of these areas and recent rezoning changes. Portions of the Interlakes OCP will be placed within the Green Lake OCP, and parts of the Green Lake Area OCP will be put into the Interlakes OCP.

MP pension reform praised, bill short-listed
Carole Rooney Free Press
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is welcoming reforms to the MP and government employee pension plans, calling it the “most significant reform to MP pensions we’ve seen in our 22-year history.” The changes recently introduced into Parliament by the Conservative government will see MP pension contributions currently slightly more than $11,000 a year climb to almost $39,000 by 2017. Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod says she has been committed to supporting changes for some time now.
“Since I was elected in 2008, Stephen Harper’s leadership on I’ve heard loud and clear from the issue, and of his listening to people throughout taxpayers. this riding that they “The changes The changes believe the MP pento move toward to move tosion plans were too both paying our fair ward both rich.” share and increaspaying our The CTF also ing the retirement fair share ... applauded the decifrom 55 to is the biggest age sion to move both 65, as the taxpaymove that any ers federation has MPs and new govgovernment ernment employees said, is the bighas made in gest move that any to a retirement age many years.” government has of 65 for a full pension, beginning in made in many – Cathy McLeod years.” 2015.

but I thought the attendance was quite good.” She notes Whistler isn’t an easy place to get to with no commercial airport service. “The whole province was represented, I believe. I think every riding had delegates.” Cariboo-Chilcotin BC Liberal Association president Bill Carruthers says the association didn’t put forward resolutions, but he was personally disappointed when some he supported didn’t make prioritization for voting. He notes there were only 16-18 of 63 resolutions in total voted on before the time ran out. Carruthers isn’t sure what will happen with those not voted on, as
the ones the delegates supported will go forward to government for legislative consideration. Some of the more interesting resolutions were “hotly debated,” but did not pass, he explains. One asked for public disclosure of where the union dues are spent in public sectors, which Carruthers says he’s glad didn’t pass. “I really think that’s a union membership issue.... I’m not sure that’s a situation where the government should say, ‘Hey, we’re not really happy where you spend the money’.” A couple of groups also “took some runs” at the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation, he adds, as to whether it should have compul-

Carruthers says resolutions passed that stood out to him included mandating balanced provincial budgets. “I agree with that. I think we have to start looking more prudently at how we’re doing our finances.

Health project priorities reviewed Carole Rooney Free Press
The 14 “new” beds lying unopened at Fischer Place/Mill Site Lodge (FP/MSL) in 100 Mile House will likely remain empty for some time. However, the master plan for Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake, used frequently by South Cariboo residents, has been nudged forward. Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) chair John Massier recently met with the board of Interior Health Authority (IHA) to discuss the status of local capital projects for health care. “I got a lot more understanding, and a lot more information of what’s going on with these.” For many months, Massier has been actively pursuing an answer from IHA on when key health initiatives in the South and Central Cariboo might move forward. These include the opening of the remaining 14 long-term care beds installed at FP/ MSL and the major renovation planned for Cariboo Memorial Hospital. “I didn’t have any luck with Fisher Place beds, other than we are wait-
ing to hear back from them on the policy they use to determine the needs in a community.” Massier says he believes policy uses a demographic of people over 75 years of age, but notes that with the South Cariboo’s aging

community and the fact the beds and most of the staff and the supports are already there, perhaps the need can be more easily justified through a shared-capacity perspective. “[I asked,] ‘Is there any way we can open these beds and call them an emergency overflow for the whole health authority?,’ so that they’re going to have places to put longterm care patients.” It’s also “common knowledge” that tales of “bed blockers” are widely spoken throughout the CCRHD, where long-term care patients are reportedly placed in acute care hospital beds

when facilities fill up, Massier adds. “Why wouldn’t they open these beds when the infrastructure is in place? It’s going to cost something to run them, but it can’t be that much because all the support services are already there in the building.” Massier says he will advance his overflow idea with IHA finance/ residential care management to see if that might be a feasible way to get those beds open without making it appear that 100 Mile House is “jumping the queue” of health projects. “I’d say the highlight of the meeting was we were given assurance by [IHA president and CAO Dr. Robert Halpenny] that the Cariboo Memorial Hospital master plan is on its radar to move it forward with the Ministry of Health. They’re going to be meeting with the ministry to view the strategic plan on Nov. 15.” That’s the assurance that it will make IHA’s list of top projects before it is submitted to the health ministry, he
“
We’re looking at about $850 million-plus ahead of us in line, and IHA’s budget forecast for 201314 is $88 million total in capital.” – John Massier
explains, but this is the point where health authority input stops. Getting on the provincial budget is the next difficulty, he notes. The IHA priority list already has 22 other capital projects worth more than $2 million, and Massier doesn’t know how many more of a lesser amount. “They have a pretty big list, probably, of projects $100,000 to $2 million, but they said they are going to add the hospital, and they are going to move it forward with the Ministry of Health, so I think that’s good news.” However, even with the Cariboo Memorial Hospital plan now “up a notch” on the list, he doesn’t foresee any big
changes soon. “I wouldn’t get anyone’s hopes up because it’s $150-million project. From what I’ve seen ... we’re looking at about $850 million-plus ahead of us in line, and IHA’s budget forecast for 2013-14 is $88 million total in capital.” Once it reaches the provincial level, the CCRHD will partly rely on Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and others with provincial clout to lobby for getting the hospital project made a funding priority. “We’re going to need the help of our local MLA and anyone else to try and get the Ministry of Health to realize the importance of this project locally, and then move it along and get it funded.”

Resumes: gateway to work opportunities
Having a great resume gives those seeking work a leg up on their opposition. Here are some basic tips for attentiongrabbing resumes. • Like any good brand, your resume needs to be eye-catching and effective. Choose a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and ensure the font size is legible, generally 10-12 point, except for your name and headings which can be larger and bolded. Most hiring managers prefer an at-aglance format, using bullet points rather than paragraphs, although ensure you keep your sections lined up and consistent throughout the document. Be cognizant of the length one or two pages for less experienced and non-management roles and three pages for senior-level applications. Also, proofread, proofread, proofread! • Most hiring managers prefer a reverse chronological format - listing the most recent job first with previous jobs following. This gives them a more fluid account of your career progression and typically highlights the most pertinent skills in greatest detail. This may not be the right format, however, if you have any breaks or gaps in employment or if you have a fragmented background with many jobs, professions or industries worked in a short time period. In this case, a functional resume - summarizing key areas of experience - may be a better solution. Another option, however, is using a reverse chronological resume and closing the gaps or fragments in employment. For instance, if you did temporary work or
education between permanent roles, list this a valuable employee who goes above and information. beyond. • When looking at levels of experience, • Many companies, particularly those that how much should be included on a resume? are large or are household names receive For older job seekers who fear age dis- hundreds, if not thousands, of resumes, and, crimination, you don’t need to include your therefore, use a recruitment program to sort full career summary.

A resume for the hospitality industry naturally differs from that of an accountant or labourer. Review examples online to ensure you are presenting an accurate depiction of yourself and your experience. Like all good brands, you need to manage your resume and professional profile. With social media making it easier than ever for employers to check up on you, it is essential that you maintain a consistent and professional image across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and any blogs you may write or participate in. In addition to ensuring that there are no disparaging remarks or unwanted photos that are visible, you From A also need to ensure your LinkedIn profile supports what you have referenced in your resume. By creating a strategic personal marketing campaign and brand, you’ll enjoy greater success both in your next job and throughout your career. Source: 10 Tips for a Winning Resume. BCjobs.ca

Contributions almost quadrupled, 10 years added to retirement age
From A4
The CTF estimates that once all the reforms are in place, a new MP elected after 2017 would be eligible for a $101,000 annual pension after three terms of office. That same MP would have contributed nearly $589,000 towards that pension. Treasury Board president Tony Clement said it will save taxpayers $2.6 billion over five years. However, these changes to the public service pension plan are “one step” towards solving the imbalance with those in the private sector – most of whom have no pension at all – while paying for “very rich” pensions for government workers, CTF adds. The federation also expressed its disappointment that government didn’t require the MP pension fund
to be invested, so those returns could top up the fund, rather than resulting in “phony” interest payments and adjustments in a further hit to taxpayers. However, McLeod’s responds by reiterating that such a “huge, significant and important” change as this will leave MPs “paying their fair share.” Some taxpayers continue to complain they have contributed big money for decades, so they could retire with a full pension still much smaller than an MPs, but McLeod says that gap is narrowing. “I was involved in health care before, and it’s becoming not dissimilar to those sorts of [pension] plans.” She explains people may be misunderstanding the MP pension plans provide less money for fewer
years’ contributions, increasing as time and the amount of actual contributions accumulate. “An MP that only works six years has only invested six years into it; it’s the same as for nurses. Years of contributory service are years of service, whether it be MPs or it be nurses.” In another twist, MPs voted to remove pension reform from an omnibus bill with a multitude of other new legislation on Oct. 19. The prodigious bill could have taken many weeks to pass, but would have seen pension reform opponents, in or out of the Conservative caucus, under pressure to vote in favour of it in order to support other initiatives in the bill. Instead, members of the House of Commons will now vote separately on the pension changes.

Debate one landslide away
t’s impossible to keep a good idea down for long, and a looming NDP landslide in the next provincial election may put electoral reform back on British Columbia’s political radar. With the NDP more than 20 points ahead in most polls and the rest of the vote split between the B.C. Liberals and BC Conservatives, some pundits are predicting the NDP could take as many as 81 of 85 MLA seats in the May election. That would mean Adrian Dix could turn 46 per cent voter support into 95 per cent of the seats in the legislature. Another pundit thinks the NDP will take 69 seats turning 46 per cent NDP support into 81 per cent of the seats. Forum Research pegs NDP support at 45 per cent, but predicts Dix’s party would take 80 per cent of the seats. Many casual observers would say such disconnect

GUEST SHOT
his Sunday, Nov. 11, we, like folks across the country, will gather for Remembrance Day to honour the men and women who sacrificed their lives to protect the democratic rights and freedoms we enjoy today. These are the men and women who left families and friends behind, as they went across the oceans to defend our country and our way of life in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. While many lost their lives during the conflicts, many others, who showed equal valour and patriotism, survived and came home to try to pick up where they left off before enlisting. It wasn’t easy for them, as they also went through the horrors of war and sadly left comrades behind. Most of them suffered silently because there were few people they could talk to about their war experiences, as only those who went through it could really understand. Even spouses and children only caught glimpses of the deep heartbreak these men and women kept buried inside of their souls. For those of us who were fortunate enough to have parents or grandparents share some of their experiences and the lessons they learned. We were taught that freedom was not a gift to be underestimated, but rather it’s a right that we have to earn each and every day of our lives. For some folks, Remembrance Day is every day because they have lost loved ones who will never be replaced. Until recently, those who attended the Remembrance Day ceremonies witnessed the deeply ingrained sadness in the eyes of our veterans, especially the older ones who could no longer hold back the tears from welling in their still fiercely proud eyes. Now, most of those veterans, with their hollowed faces and trembling hands, have left us. Before they go, however, their eyes still show that glint of pride, as they hold out the torch for us to carry on. When we stand in silence at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month this Sunday, we should give thanks to those brave men and women, as we empathize with the families they left behind. However, we should also reach out and grab that torch and make a vow to never take the rights and freedoms we have today for granted. We must vow to earn and protect those rights on a daily basis. Lest we forget!

declared until someone hit that 50 per cent plus one mark. Recently, two champions for a fairer voting system were honoured with Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals for their contributions to Canadian democracy. Author and public policy expert Gordon Gibson was the individual who put together the mandate and mechanics for the Citizens’ Assembly. Fair Voting B.C. cofounder Nick Loenen’s book, Citizenship and Democracy: A Case for Proportional Representation, has become a foundational text for any Canadian wanting to change the way MPs and MLAs are elected. A change to preferential ballots - allowing voters to simply rank the candidates running in their community - would be a good start to fixing that.

Income inequality must be addressed
To the editor: Canadians are feeling the pinch. Families are earning less and inflation is increasing the cost of everyday essentials. Students are grappling with rising tuition rates and have fewer opportunities for employment when they graduate. Youth unemployment is at a historic high and student employment is at record lows. As Canadians adjust to these economic realities, our debt-to-
income ratio has grown to 152 per cent, much higher than the United States, and entire generations of Canadians have little or no savings. Most of us recognize income inequality is a growing issue that is at the heart of these challenges. That is why the Liberal Party held a debate in Parliament on addressing income inequality and put forward several practical steps we can take immediately to reduce it. Specifically, we are calling on the government to:
from student loans. What we are asking the government to do is to first of all recognize that this is a problem, and not continue to dismiss it. Income inequality is a key issue for Canada. We cannot assume prosperity will be fairly shared and we cannot take prosperity for granted. We have to avoid the mistakes of the extreme right and the extreme left and we have to come up with practical proposals that will make
a difference to ordinary people and ensure our prosperity is fairly, deeply and widely shared. Shared prosperity is what we strive for as a country and ensuring equality of opportunity for all Canadians is at the core of what it means to be a Liberal. Bob Rae, Leader Liberal Party of Canada
Britain’s renewable power sources celebrated
To the editor: In a suitably fitting tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee, the latest data out of the United Kingdom shows Great Britain is being powered by record levels of green energy from wind, sun and waves. Renewable energy from these and other renewable sources now accounts for 11 per cent of the U.K.’s electricity, putting the Great Britain closer to its goal of obtaining 15 per cent of its power from renewable energy sources by 2020. Fifteen per cent may not seem like very much compared to the 90 per cent of British Columbia’s energy that comes from renewable energy sources, but it’s a big step up for the

U.K. where the aging energy infrastructure they have is largely based on coal and nuclear power. Although the U.K. certainly doesn’t have the kind of hydroelectric resources B.C. has, it does have considerable onshore and offshore wind energy resources similar to those we have in B.C. In fact, onshore and offshore wind generation in the U.K. was the biggest contributor to Britain’s increase in green energy. Compared to last year, wind energy’s contribution in the U.K. was up nearly 50 per cent, proving the value of wind energy as a renewable energy resource for the U.K. and leading some to suggest Britain is poised to become the Saudi Arabia of offshore wind.
CHAMP keeps memories alive
All in all, if this green energy trend in the U.K. continues, renewable energy may ultimately prove to be the greatest legacy of Queen Elizabeth’s long, popular and successful reign. Yolanda Lora Vilchis Surrey
Program outdated
To the editor: Plans to eliminate the outdated AirCare program have been met with incredibly strong public support, and rightfully so. Today’s emission-controlled cars and light trucks are no longer the main source of pollution on our roads, and keeping the program going would not likely have achieved any significant improvements over what has already been achieved. Shifting the focus to other sources of pollution on our roads makes much more sense at this point in time. Plus, there is every reason to believe that electric and clean natural gas vehicles will be showing up on our roads in increasing numbers over the next decade. The AirCare staff deserves our thanks for the improvements in air quality they’ve helped to bring about in this province. Now, it’s time to move on the bigger and more pressing air-quality challenges and build on what has been accomplished over the past two decades.

Here’s a real smart meter scam BC VIEWS
Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow-ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow-op’s power consumption. It’s no wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course, all of this is defeated by a smart-grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Violent Halloween night in Williams Lake
WILLIAMS LAKE - Freezing rain did not deter criminal activity on Halloween night in Williams Lake, said RCMP inspector Warren Brown. “Twenty people were lodged in cells in Williams Lake on Halloween night.” Shortly after 9 p.m. the RCMP responded to a complaint of a home invasion on Barnard Street. Multiple calls were received about a group of people who had burst into a residence armed with machetes, bats, and bear spray. Once inside the residence, the suspects attempted to assault the residents, although the residents were successful in securing themselves in a locked room. The assailants then completely ransacked the interior of the residence using extreme violence. When police attended, after a foot pursuit with several of the suspects, police managed to corner the assailants at a residence on Pinchbeck St. A hostile and uncooperative group of 12 people believed to be involved were arrested. All suspects are well known to the police, some with gang affiliation.

High-risk sex offender wants to stay in jail
KAMLOOPS - A convicted Kamloops sex offender known to target children and labelled by justice officials a high risk to re-offend has agreed to spend the foreseeable future in a jail cell. David Bruce Jennings appeared briefly in Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 1, facing one count each of sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16. No details of the alleged crimes have been made public, but court documents state the offences took place in late August in Deadmans Creek, west of Kamloops. Jennings, 48, was the subject of a rare public warning from B.C. Corrections in October 2011. At the time, officials said Jennings would be living in Kamloops and has a high risk to commit new sexual offences. Last June, Kamloops Mounties arrested Jennings days after an incident outside a Valleyview pizza chain, where he had allegedly been trying to pick up a 14-year-old girl. After being rebuffed, police said at the time, Jennings went to a nearby bank and gave a threeyear-old girl a stuffed animal. He was arrested six days later.

Resident doctors’ union ratifies new agreement Resident physicians have ratified a new four-year collective agreement with the province. The contract provides resident physicians with two years of net zero, and then a wage increase of 1.5 per cent in January 2013 and another 1.3 per cent in April 2013. “This agreement provides for modest wage increases that fit within existing budgets, while protecting front-line services in our health facilities,” says Finance Minister Michael de Jong. Resident physicians are post-graduate physician trainees who have completed classroom education and are working in health-care to fulfil their practicum. The agreement covers April 1, 2010–March 31, 2014 and adheres to the provincial government’s net zero (2010-12) and co-operative gains (201214) mandates.

Wireless service expanded
Wireless device users in the South Cariboo may be noticing an improvement in their service since TELUS recently extended coverage along local highways. In partnership with the provincial government, TELUS has invested $1.8 million to bring wireless service to areas
of limited or no service. “The highways near 100 Mile House see a lot of traffic every day, so it’s wonderful that wireless service is being expanded along those stretches,” says CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “It’s important our local
motorists feel safe and comfortable while on the road.” The three, new wireless sites cover the Lone Butte to Bridge Lake segment of Highway 24, and the Lac la Hache to 141 Mile House stretch of Highway 97. These sites are now live, providing new or improved

Ranchers applaud return of local beef slaughter
Free Press
Local beef slaughter capacity has returned to the South Cariboo since a local buffalo ranch successfully expanded its licensing recently. Elisabeth Karlen and her son, Rudy Karlen, own and operate XH Buffalo Ranch at South Green Lake. The ranch now has all the required permits and “everything is finalized” for its abattoir to process cattle, Elisabeth says. “We did only buffalo so far, and now we have a new license for beef cattle too. “It’s now all done. The facility is perfect, the government is happy, the [CFIA] inspector is happy, and the brand inspector is happy.” Adding more excitement at the family-run ranch, an illustrious guest visited the Karlens on Oct. 30, one of it’s first beef slaughter days. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick was on site for two hours listening to the Karlens, learning about the industry and discussing what stumbling blocks still exist, Elisabeth explains. “He said: ‘I will talk to everybody, and at the end, I will see what we can do’. And I think that’s a good start,” says Elisabeth. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett accompanied the new minister to the

to ranchers, I feel we’ll get a resolution.” Elisabeth says remaining obstacles include getting other local livestock slaughter capacity, such as pork and lamb, as well as finding enough provincial inspectors and getting them on par with training. Happily for Elisabeth and Rudy, an inspector has been found and assigned to their facility. The inspector must be on site for each of the three days a week that the ranch facility

Once it’s provincially inspected on her ranch’s Class B licence, customers can legally sell their farm-raised meat to stores, restaurants and other retailers throughout B.C., she notes.

Data dashboards complement justice reform
A new set of online data dashboards about criminal prosecutions went live Oct. 29, providing citizens with the opportunity to better understand and analyze the British Columbia justice system’s operations. The data dashboards, online graphics showing crime and justice statistics, align with the B.C. Liberal government’s action plan for justice reform. The new criminal justice data dashboards, which expand on the courts and
Shirley Bond
corrections dashboards launched earlier this year, offer B.C. criminal prosecution statistics for the past eight years. Taking raw data and transforming it into a visually friendly format by plotting it onto interactive maps of B.C. helps to create a more common understanding of the justice system’s day-today operations. Users are also able to query the data and generate their results into bar graphs.

Cariboo Roadhouse
The Cariboo Roadhouse Restaurant has been a fixture in the Cariboo since the early 1900’s. Since I’m the main chef and resident manager I’m happy to continue the tradition at the restaurant my mother, Margaret Tinling bought a few years ago. I’ve been around the Cariboo since 1994 except for a couple of short stays in other areas, and I received my Red Seal Chef’s training under Glen and Norma Clancy from Clancys’ Restaurant in Lac la Hache. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry since I was twenty-one as you can tell by the meal portions we put out. We have a great staff here and more importantly so many loyal customers who are so very supportive. I’m very pleased to meet the new residents who have moved into the area and are becoming steady customers. We still offer our famous specials at the Roadhouse; Friday, fish and chips; Saturday, steak all day; and Sunday, prime rib dinner. We are open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays. Come on out and visit us, but please make reservations on the weekend nights. Submitted by Brenda McNabb, Cariboo Roadhouse

The Love of Christ (TLC) Children’s Home orphanage in South Africa has benefited more than once by the volunteer efforts of Taqueesha Boyd, formerly of 100 Mile House. She has served there twice as a missionary, with much of the time devoted to taking care of babies afflicted with AIDS/HIV. Taqueesha has a family and a business of her own now and can no longer go to Africa to help, but she’s found a way that she can still offer aid from home. On Nov. 10, she will be offering photographic portrait sessions, 30 minutes in length and for up to six people, for $50. All of the proceeds will be donated to TLC. The portrait package includes 10 edited digital photographs on a disk. To book a session, contact Boyd at 250-395-1992 or e-mail her at taqueesha@gmail.com.
There will be a wide selection of items that will change continually as goods sell and artists bring in more. Better yet, is all items are taxfree. Parkside hours

Take part in Remembrance Day
“At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month….” It’s a phrase we’re all familiar with. These words represent not only the end of hostilities in the First World War, but also mark the date and time when we formally commemorate those lost in battle. Remembrance Day is a time when we honour the valour and sacrifices of Canadians who fought in the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, on peacekeeping missions and in Afghanistan. Remembrance Day is also a time when we can reflect on the accomplishments of our country. United, we have fought for a safer and freer world, liberating citizens from totalitarian governments and working towards a sustainable world peace based on

mutual respect and shared values. While the horrors of war must never be forgotten, we must also remember the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We must never fail to defend it, whether at home or abroad. Our government also remains committed to supporting our men and women in uniform, both past
and present. Whether it’s through improved monthly access to benefits for seriously injured Veterans, increasing the monthly supplement for the injured and sick, or providing the best equipment available to those currently serving, our government continues to stand behind our troops and Veterans. On Nov. 11, I hope you will join me in taking part in one of the many Remembrance Day ceremonies in our community. And on behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the rest of our Conservative government, I wish to thank the men and women currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces as well as all those who have served in the past. Lest we forget. Cathy McLeod Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP
www.100milefreepress.net
Saluting our Armed Forces and Veterans
On behalf of the Cariboo Regional District board of directors and staff, we salute our Armed Forces for their bravery and perseverance they have shown in the past, present and the future to keep our country safe and free. For those who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice; we remember; we will never forget. At this time of year, we also pay tribute to the families and their loved ones who are currently serving with our forces and on peacekeeping missions around the globe. We sincerely hope for your safe return soon. For our service men and women from the Cariboo-Chilcotin, no matter where you are serving, you are in our hearts and we are very
proud of your commitment to our region, our province and our country. As the chair of the Cariboo Regional District, I encourage all of our residents to take a moment on November 11 and remember our Canadian Forces who have served before us and those currently serving.

Frog parasite presentation ~ Blinds by Maureen ~ hosted at Scout Island BLINDS
Carole Rooney Free Press
The next host in the life cycle of a parasite that’s spreading into Canada is resulting in missing limbs and other deformities in frogs and other amphibians. These extra or twisted limbs and skin webbing deformities disable young frogs so they are not adept at escaping predators such as birds. Folks are invited to come out and hear about the biology of this phenomenon, and how it threatens the survival of amphibian populations. A free presentation will be held in Williams Lake at the Scout Island Nature House on Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m., sponsored by the Williams Lake Field Naturalists. Scout Island Nature Centre co-ordinator Jenny Noble says 100 Mile House residents frequently travel northward for its speakers and film events, and encourages more to give it a whirl.

Folks are invited to a Williams Lake presentation about increasing occurrences of a parasite that results in missing limbs and other deformities that disable young frogs, so they are not adept at escaping predators.
Environmental Studies at Thompson Rivers University. Noble says over the past two years, the focus of Roberts-Reynolds’ work has been studying the Pacific Tree Frog and the Spotted Frog at Isobel Lake near Kamloops. His newly-published paper describes the first time this parasite has been found in Canadian amphibians and, more importantly, the first time it has caused high levels of deformities north of the border. R ob e r t s - R e y nol ds
says the problem hasn’t yet been confirmed in the Cariboo, but notes that nobody has looked for it. “I plan on making a thorough search this summer. This parasite is distributed in bird
feces, and many bird migration routes pass through the Cariboo, so it would be strange if it wasn’t there.” Scout Island Nature Centre is located on the west end of Williams Lake at 1305
A Borland Rd. off South Mackenzie Avenue. It is a nature sanctuary and park area comprising two islands connected to the mainland by a vehicle causeway. The Nature House is just to the right at the end of the causeway, and is closed to the public except for nature programs such as this, which offer a chance to visit this unique facility. There is generally a family event the last Saturday of each month, or you can book a program for your class or community group by calling 1-250-398-8532 or e-mailing scoutisland@midbc.com.

Caily Mellott and Brandon Balbirnie had a chance to run with the best of them at the BC Cross-Country
Running Provincial Championships in Prince George, Nov. 3. The pair represented 100 Mile House Junior Secondary at the meet that featured 515 competitors in grades 8 through 12 from all over the province. Balbirnie crossed the finish line in fifth place in the bantam boys division and Mellott was
15th in the bantam girls category. Balbirnie was also 127th overall among the total 264 boys competing in the 6.3-kilometre race. “It reminded me of the Boston Marathon ... what it would be like,” says Balbirnie. “It was a tough race with people jousting with their elbows.”
A bronze medalist in the recent zone championships, his strategy was to keep up with one of two people who beat him at zones. “I passed him at the end of the race. I was just happy it was over. The pressure was tough.” Mellott ran a 4.3-km race with a pack of 251 girls and finished in the
128th position. “I’d never run with that many people before and it was intimidating. “Everyone started sprinting and I just went with the flow. I didn’t have a game plan;
it just sort of happened.” Both are serious about their running and plan to train through the winter. They will be wearing cleats for traction in the snow.

The children’s app educates young players on the signs and symptoms in a fun way to help them understand why they should not mask or ignore concussion signs.� The children’s app also teaches them how to prevent concussion through respect and playing by the rules, Deitch adds.

Grieving workshops offered The 100 Mile District Hospice Society is inviting community residents who may be having difficulty with their grief, due to the death of a loved one, to attend the next Grief Support Group. Hospice bereavement co-ordinator Sarah Smith is facilitating “The Art of Grieving” theme for the next grief group, which begins Nov. 15. “It will be multidimensional course for the bereaved looking for another outlet in which to explore and release grief. Through the use of tactile experiences with crafting mediums, the participant is guided and encouraged to explore emotions. “For example, we will be working on projects like a memory box and a collage.” The focus of these projects is not about artistic ability; rather it’s about the process and emotions, sharing with the group and personal discoveries. All supplies will be provided although preregistration is required. The Art of Grieving grief group is a fourweek workshop, beginning Nov. 15 and running through to Dec. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. each session. For more information and to register, call 100 Mile Hospice at 250395-7680 or drop by the office in the Health Centre on Mondays through Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The BC Conservative Party has established a new “unity committee” after expelling or censuring 15 party members in an effort to stamp out a smouldering rebellion against leader John Cummins. On Oct. 15, Party president Al Siebring confirmed letters have gone out to 15 members involved in efforts to oust Cummins. None are identified, and the number whose memberships have been revoked will not be disclosed, Siebring said in a statement released after week-

Critics expelled, Cummins reaches out end board meetings in Duncan. The board approved a motion of “full confidence” in Cummins as the resurgent party prepares for a provincial election in May. The new committee is chaired by party director Daniel Brooks and includes Christine Clarke, who ran third in the Port MoodyCoquitlam byelection won by the NDP’s Joe Trasolini in April. “We recognize that there are things which can be done to improve our internal processes,” Cummins said. “The motion was clear when it said that we are looking for ways to engage our members,
constituency association presidents and boards, and improve communications within our party.” South Surrey-White Rock constituency president Allison Patton went public last week, claiming there were “at least 20” local party presidents calling on Cummins to resign. Later she was joined at a news conference by Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, and said Cummins had agreed to step aside but then changed his mind. Cummins termed that account an “absolute fabrication.” He set a deadline of Oct. 10

The party said it has added 381 new members since Sept. 3, and continues to collect donations at a pace of $4,000 a week. The party surged to about 20 per cent of voter support in recent polls, challenging the B.C. Liberals for second place behind the NDP. But as the party went through a fractious recent annual general meeting, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit, and two other members including Chilliwack-Hope byelection candidate John Martin joined the B.C.

A Canadian soldier in France I
Second World War serviceman recalls battles and bombs
t was a miserable beginning to his war. In camp at Oxney, Kent, England Pte. Ammon Butterfield woke every morning in wet clothes. The hole dug beneath his tent, to protect the men from bomb shrapnel, turned into a rain barrel. “We weren’t allowed to have a fire in case the Jerrie’s saw the smoke. We had practically the whole camp on sick parade every day.” But a darker shadow loomed - the shadow of the France invasion where these young men would see heavy action, was drawing closer. Veteran Ammon Harry Butterfield recalled his time overseas, much of it spent in France, on his 86th birthday, with his son Jim Butterfield who lives in the South Cariboo today. Born in New Westminster Nov. 14, 1911, Butterfield signed up as an ambulance driver for the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (R.C.A.S.C.) in June 1940 at the Hotel Vancouver recruiting station. With just a few moments to say goodbye to his new bride he was shipped across Canada. He had 73 cents in his pocket and no army training. Butterfield and his comrades-tobe travelled by rail to Halifax, then boarded a French ship, The Pasteur, fourth largest in the world. In England Pte. Butterfield, soon discovered his early duties were as a cook, not driver. After three years in various camps in England Butterfield’s war was about to begin. D Day, June 6, 1944. Butterfield landed at Mike’s sector, Juno Beach, France, amid a square block of 500 ships and a smoke screen. “Coming over on the ship to France, everybody was pretty quiet. We didn’t know what we were going to see.” He witnessed his first dead German amongst many scattered empty cartridges in a field of wheat. “That was when I really knew I was in the middle of action.” In a trench that night on a farm at Villiers-le-Sec, the Germans began dropping land mines. “They fell nearby and they’d lift you right up in the air and down again. They didn’t kill many of the men, but they killed a lot of cattle.” Moving on almost continuously with The 578 Company of 500-600 men, Butterfield’s job was to deliver petrol and rations from the beach to the front lines. As aide to the Commanding Officer, he travelled almost daily between Cruelly and Villiers-le-Sec, constantly setting up and taking down tents.
Cpl. Ammon Harry Butterfield enlisted in the Royal Canadian Service Corp in 1940, and served five years overseas, including the D-Day invasion at Juno Beach, France. His duties were primarily as a driver, but also served as a cook, back left (above). He is seen in uniform, at left, and his 1943 pay book shows official stamps.
Then came the Orne River an important objective. It was still daylight. The tiny village had been evacuated. His unit had to get their supply trucks safely across a bridge under active German bombing. “Our Major always had to go first, and I was with him. He was so scared that he couldn’t even talk.” They made it across, but then the night sky rained down antipersonnel bombs, leaving many casualties. “Some of our boys drove [the trucks] while they were still on fire! They got medals for that. “I was underneath the vehicle, and another fellow and I were hugging each other. It was a terrifying night. I had a cigarette in my mouth and [the Major] said: ‘Don’t light that!’ I said: ‘I’m not, I’m, eating it.’ I was really scared.” The enemy used chandeliers to light up the sky for the
bombers, so the white stars on the trucks were covered up, as they would glow. After that, they got their first rum ration and following a brief rest, went to Belleray (near Verdun) to assist the United States Army. The troops travelled western France before moving on to Antwerp, Belgium where the Germans were bombing heavily, one of which killed 500 people in the city centre. Broken glass was piled up like snow in the streets, and the bombing was so bad his company had to get out. “A lot of the time we’d go and pick up the wounded civilians. We’d carry them to the nearest first aid. That was a terrible experience.” After more active time served in Belgium, he and his comrades had a good time on leave in London, but then found it hard to go back to the war. But back they went, and in early 1945 Butterfield served the last of his five years stint, in Vaught, Holland, where every night shells lit the sky over Hertogenbosch. “They never stopped bombing. It was getting near the end of the war, but we didn’t know what was going on in other parts....” These soldiers had no choice but to go on living with fear and discomfort, he remembered, as those who went AWOL could be shot. Letters from home – sometimes arriving scorched – and occasional parcels of candies, cigarettes or socks were a rare treat he relished. After his discharge for long service, as Cpl. Butterfield, he returned to Halifax. Another long train brought him home to his young wife in Vancouver. Butterfield was in for another shock. A letter from his wife had not been delivered. It marked another ending. “That was when I found out about the ‘Dear John’ letter.... It hit me hard.” However, this tough soldier bounced back, remarried in 1946 and began a family. He retired from Public Works at age 62, and enjoyed years of retirement with his wife and four sons, before dying at age 95. Jim travelled to France in 2010 to retrace many of his fathers travels during the war. Watch for that story in an upcoming edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press.

From Gaza Strip to 100 Mile House Military life a gift for boy soldier
Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
F
or Realtor Ray Carlson, being accepted by the army in 1952 at the age of 16 as a boy soldier was a God-send. He’d spent all of his life to that point in orphanages and foster homes and the army was the answer to his long-yearned-for wishes for a structured life. He was a young prairie farm boy who had always had a fascination with the military and dreamed of being a career soldier one day. When an ad in the newspaper showed up for boy soldiers, he acted on it right away. His preference was to be a motor mechanic but with no room for him in that field, he was given the opportunity to join the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers unit where he learned to be a weapons technician. Interestingly, he found that more than half of his fellow soldiers also came from broken homes and unstructured lives. Carlson did his basic training and specialty training in Kingston, Ontario then moved on to Wainright, Alberta where he repaired weapons for three years. When he received orders in 1958 to take up a position at the Jericho Beach Garrison in Vancouver, he thought he’d died and gone to heaven, with Jericho known as a prime location with no shortage of beautiful women. He met and married his wife, Donna, and within a month of the wedding, was shipped off to the Gaza Strip in the Middle East as a United Nations Peacekeeper.

Ray Carlson joined the Canadian army in 1952 and six years later, at the age of 22, was sent to Gaza Strip as a UN Peacekeeper.
It’s a tumultuous strip of land on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea which borders Egypt on the southwest and Israel on the east and north. It was, and continues to be, an area of battle between the two countries. Carlson spent a year in Gaza and says that while he didn’t consider his life to be in danger while

Years of service in Second World War Alex signs up as 15-year-old
Katie McCollough When I visited World War II veteran Alex Wallner this past week she had just returned from volunteering at the Legion, getting poppies ready to be distributed to various locations around Clinton for the 2012 Poppy Campaign. We talked about Alex’s early years as a young lady in England during World War II. She was born in London before the outbreak of World War II.
At the young age of fifteen she could not wait to join the army. Alex tried at first to enlist with the Airforce, then the Navy and was turned down by both. She was then determined to enlist in the Army. She lied about her age and went with a friend to the interview. Leaving the interview she was advised that a parent had to sign the forms to approve of her joining. Her teenage friend signed her Mother’s name
Alex Wallner
for her. On March 20, 1940 Alex received her regimental number
and took her place in Britain’s army. When she was given her travelling papers, she taped them to her stomach so her parents would not find them. Her sister suspected she was up to something, but before she could say anything to her parents she was sent away to camp and the rest is history. In the 1940s in Britain, the women that enlisted or were conscripted had to help with something towards the war efforts but didn’t have to be on
Soldier coming home Reg Berrington. Sgt. Bobby-Jo Dayman, is a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, part of the Integrated Personal Support Centre (IPSC), CFB Shilo, Brandon, Manitoba. Born in Comox on Vancouver Island, she is married to Dwayne Butler (a retired Canadian Forces member) and she has one child ,Ty Butler, 8 years of age. Joe and Glynis Dayman of Fawn Creek Road, Lone Butte are her parents, as well as having two sisters Nicola and Diana who also live locally. Sgt. Dayman joined the Canadian Forces in 1996 for the adventure, anticipating only three years of service, but fortunately grew to enjoy the camaraderie and her job. So 16 years later she is still serving in the Canadian Forces. Before the Military, Sgt. Dayman had a range of jobs such as guiding trail rides for Marc & Rik’s camp at Sheridan Lake, a camp counsellor for the Y.M.C.A at Deka Lake, working for local ranchers around the community while in the 100 Mile area, and then working in retail in Manitoba until joining the Canadian Forces.
Bobby-Jo Dayman
Sgt. Dayman’s position in the military has varied. Recently, she has been relocated into a position where she assists with the ill and
injured Canadian Force members. The position aids the members in their unique transitions, or aids in their return to a new military job or trade, whichever the member has chosen. Sgt. Dayman says that this type of work is incredibly rewarding because of aiding fellow members. Sgt. Dayman has served overseas in Bosnia and was awarded the Peace Keeper medal, the Bosnia Service Medal and the Canadian Forces Decoration (CD). Her latest position in the Canadian Military is as Sergeant.
Dayman will be retiring from the Canadian Forces on a medical release in the next 18 months and is working on a posting to B.C. to assist in her transition from the Canadian Forces, prior to upgrading her education. She is hoping to enter the Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops to become certified as a Community and School Support Assistant. Sgt. Dayman and her husband have purchased a home in 100 Mile, where her husband and son currently live, and where she will join them when she is released from the military.
the guns. Alex, enthusiastic to be involved, volunteered to operate the guns and then trained as a mobile search light operator. When she signed up to be on the lights she didn’t realize just how dangerous it would be. She says they didn’t realize that when they shone the search lights on the German planes for the British army the enemy would use the light to locate and bomb them. Alex was situated on a platform about six feet off the ground and on one occasion was hit by shrapnel and suffered serious injuries. After Alex healed she re mustered and was attached to the American 8th Airforce, where she did commentary for Airforce planes. She received an award from the American Legion for her service with them. She told me that she had the highlight of meeting James Stewart, the famous American film and stage actor during this time. One of Alex’s favourite memories of her time in the army was
when she got to meet the King and Queen (Queen Mother), when they came to visit the barracks and shook hands with everyone. Alex says that the old adage is, “If you shake hands with royalty you get ten extra years in life” so she claims she is living on her ten extra years. She says she didn’t want to wash her hand afterwards, and tells me that the Royals later sent the girls a nice mirror to hang in their barracks. Alex was in the British army for five years. She left the army in 1945 when she found that she was expecting. She left Britain for Canada with her husband when her son was 4 months old. She has many stories

to tell about her army days, and the early days in Canada raising her children. She also joined the Canadian Army after moving to British Columbia. I do suggest that if you have the opportunity, take the time out to speak to a war veteran and it just might help you to see things in a different light. Whether it be a community member or Family member, many of us just can not comprehend what our veterans experienced when they went to war for their country, their stories should be shared so that we can pass them on to the next generation and appreciate those who fought for freedom.

Enlisted in 1942 for 3.5 years some in Italy. It’s nice of the Legion to operate a private club. It is a place where you can come to chat, play games and to have a drink. In 1946 when all the boys came home, the club was for vets only, that was 66 years ago and the dues were $5 per year then. We are appreciative to still have a club.

Walkers brave winter weather LAC DES ROCHES
Sharon Woloshyn 250-593-0041
sharronw@bcwireless.com
Although the numbers are down for the season, there are usually two or more ladies ready to make the daily walk along Boultbee Road for exercise and entertainment. Boot ice-grabbers become the norm in the colder months but it is the walking poles that are most useful all year round. They add exercise and stability and for some, provide a little extra power to maneuver up some of the steeper inclines. Perhaps the most important bonus of using walking poles is that they will serve as a weapon to ward off advances of aggressive S!!! wildlife.

area. Many species of waterfowl have been floating and feeding together in McCarthy Bay including several groups of distinctive migrating trumpeter swans. Wonky weather Thunder and hail in mid October is to be expected but several
days of accumulating snow was definitely not normal. The early snow surprised several remaining seasonal residents who found themselves without winter boots, coats and snow shovels. Fallen Aspen and Cottonwood leaves blanketing the fields of snow are a sure sign
that winter had come a little early, even for vegetation. The most disturbing sight was the new buds on several Saskatoon berry bushes on Oct. 29, appearing after a few very warm days. Seasonal temperatures will soon freeze the buds and likely result in devastation of next year’s berries.
Wonderful wildlife An investigation in the hills northwest of Little Lac des Roches has confirmed that the source of the loud howling heard several afternoons in late October was indeed, a pack of wolves. The wet snow revealed “hoards of tracks” reported by a resident riding the Faulkner Lake trail. The presence of wolves in the area certainly explains the scarcity of deer and moose sightings as these canine predators and ungulate prey rarely © share the same feeding
ed with the bigger, faster boats using the lake. Missing drain plugs and running out of fuel are more likely due to forgetfulness and aging of the captains of the boats. A broken dagger board could have been age-related but was attributed to the unpredictable gusty wind we
enjoy year-round. Burning binge After months of stockpiling yard waste, snow accumulation had residents finally comfortable with lighting backyard burn piles. Surface moisture is adequate to douse wayward embers.

Boats dry docked Many boats being pulled from the water are heading into workshops as evidently Lac des Roches was rough on quite a few vessels this year. While most boaters know to stay clear of Propeller Shoal and the protruding rocks at the Sunken Island, a few bumps and nicks from sunken logs can be expected if navigating a vessel through the shallow channels, especially when the water level drops low in late summer. Mechanical issues such as a hole in the engine block and water in a distributor cap are likely natural wear and tear with aging, expect-

Residents grateful for volunteers at Sulphurous Lake fire hall DEKA DISTRICT Diana Forster 250-593-2155
Sulphurous Lake District Volunteer Firefighters Association is very small, in keeping with the 30 or so permanent residents who live at Sulphurous/ Hathaway Lake combined. Regardless, residents permanent and seasonal, are very grateful to the half dozen or so firefighters who volunteer to protect their homes. Firefighters needed Like other volunteer fire departments, Deka is in need of new blood, male or female, aged over 19, and preferably of the younger kind as many of the current firefighters are
senior citizens. Residents must realize that, if the number of firefighters drops below a certain level, our “certification” is removed. That, in turn, means no ‘’fire protection” on our residences, and therefore our home insurance costs would increase dramatically. Residents are urged to give this matter their serious consideration. As a bonus, volunteer firefighters may now claim an annual tax credit of $3,000 providing they put in at least 200 hours per annum on practices, training and callouts. Post office news In case anyone is wondering, Deka District parcels that do not fit into our community parcel boxes are being left at Sheridan Post Office, so we don’t have to drive all the way to Lone Butte for them. This will be of great benefit for Christmas mail, especially in view of gas prices.
Dinner auction The Cariboo Horsey Ladies Second Annual Dinner and Silent Charity Auction will be held at Wildman’s Family Restaurant at lnterlakes Corner, 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16. Tickets are $30 each and must be purchased in advance from either the Country Pedlar at lnterlakes Corner, or the Log House in 100 Mile. With great support from generous sponsors, there will be many exciting items up for auction. Last year, at their inaugural affair, the Ladies voted to donate the proceeds of some $1,500 to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge in Chase, and, this year, those attending will vote for whichever “horsey” outfit they prefer. Tickets are limited and going fast. Interlakes youth A recent flyer mailed to Interlakes mailboxes refers to a new group, “Thirteen to Ninety -
Three for Teenagers to Retirement Plus.” This group has evolved from the lnterlakes Youth Group, Teen Space, which is sponsored by the Cariboo Presbyterian Church. It should be noted that dates have changed from those listed on the flyer. The November potluck evening will be 6 p.m., Friday, Nov. 16; the December meeting, which will include the Christmas pageant, is Wednesday, Dec. 12. Just bring your favourite offering for supper and enjoy interesting discussions with friends. Kids Space, for those aged under 12, will now meet Nov. 9 and 23, and Dec. 7. Celebrations Many happy returns to Jim Wishart for Nov. 9, the same date that Marallyn and Morris Oerlemans celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary. Calendar Call the writer for

The RCL was formed in 1926 and is a non-profit, duessupported membership that receives no financial assistance from any outside agency. Since inception in 1926, the RCL has evolved into
one of the foremost and respected communityservice organizations in Canada. The RCL 100 Mile Branch #260 was founded in 1959 and now has approximately 390 members. As the years take their toll on Canada’s veteran population, the Legion needs the infusion of new members in order to maintain the services provided by the RCL to communities across Canada. Legion membership was originally restricted to those who had served
in Canada’s Armed Forces and Merchant Navy. The Legion is proud of its military heritage and still maintains close ties with the Armed Forces today, but over the years membership has evolved to include members of the community. Membership is now open to all Canadians. By joining the Legion, people will have the opportunity to make new friends and become involved with their community and help perpetuate the Remembrance of those
who gave so much for the freedom and prosperity we enjoy today. The Legion holds the sacred trust of ensuring the tradition of Remembrance, which is observed by Canadians every year at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. This tradition dates back to the First World War when the guns fell silent, marking the end of military conflict and the Remembrance of the 117,000 men and women who gave their lives in the wars and military missions around the world and who would never return home. Each November, poppies blossom on the lapels and collars of more than half of Canada’s entire population. The poppy stands as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget all of the Canadians who have fallen in war. The National Poppy and Remembrance
Campaign raise funds for veterans and their families, the new military and others who are disadvantaged. Our local poppy fund has helped our veterans, their widows and families with medical needs, bursaries, and muchneeded house and yard maintenance among other necessities. Other funding raised by the 100 Mile Legion and its activities goes back into the community and local charities annually, and can be in excess of $12,000. Besides veterans the Legion supports seniors, youth, education, sports, Cadets, Guides and Scouts. By becoming a member, folks can help their Legion support these worthy causes. For more information on the RCL 100 Mile Branch #260, please call 250-395-2511. Leah Nielsen is the manager of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 260 in 100 Mile House.

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK
To submit a question for one of our experts on this page please email martina@100milefreepress.net
ONE STOREY TBM1733
Ask an Expert: What damage does a grow op do to a house?
Total Living Area: 1733 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms
High levels of humidity can cause wood to eventually warp or even rot, including staircases, handrails, floor finishes, roof joists, window frames and wood studs in walls. The structural integrity of these components may be compromised. Prolonged periods of high humidity have been known to cause moulds to develop in a house, including the inside walls, drywall and insulation. Marijuana plants produce pollen that escapes into the air. Respiratory conditions and allergies can be triggered by certain kinds of pollen and mould. Children and those with respiratory ailments are particularly susceptible. Floor joists, roof supports and wall studs are sometimes cut to accommodate the extensive ventilation systems required by these operations or to accommodate the creation of booby traps designed to foil police. These traps are dismantled, but the structural damage may still remain. Hydroponic labs require three to ten times the power of an average home. Although the house’s main electrical panel is bypassed, the main system can be damaged by surges or other difficulties associated with the illegal bypass. Fire hazards, such as exposed live wires and overheated electrical ballasts, are often found in the homes. Pesticides, fungicides, hydrogen peroxide and fertilizers are mixed together and applied to the plants to increase yields and protect plants from insects. Improper ventilation, intense humidity levels and even structural considerations, such as carpets, can prevent these chemicals from escaping.
