Home Owner Grant threshold rises with property values More than one million homeowners in British Columbia may be eligible to receive the entire Home Owner Grant again this year, as the B.C. Liberal government is increasing the threshold for the grant by $10,000 to $1.295 million to keep pace with rising property value assessments. BC Assessment estimates the value of all homes based on their market value on July 1 each year. The province then adjusts the threshold of the Home Owner Grant to make sure at least 95.5 per cent of eligible homeowners receive the full amount. Those with homes valued above the threshold may still be eligible for a partial grant. The Home Owner Grant provides a maximum reduction in residential property taxes on principal residences of $570 in the Capital, Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts. The Northern and Rural Area Homeowner Benefit, one of the measures that keeps the carbon tax revenue neutral, increases the grant by $200 for homeowners living outside of those areas to provide additional property tax relief for northern and rural British Columbians. An additional grant of $275 is available to those who are aged 65 and over, permanently disabled or a veteran of certain wars. In Budget 2012, the B.C. Liberal government expanded the program to include low-income Canadian Forces veterans in the event they do not already qualify as seniors or persons with disabilities. In 2007, the Home Owner Grant program was expanded to include eligible low-income homeowners who, but for the high assessed value of their homes, would have been eligible for the full grant. The province also provides property tax deferral options for qualified individuals, including homeowners older than 55, people with disabilities, and families with children. The deferment programs are low-interest loan programs that allow qualifying residents to defer all or part of their property taxes until they sell or transfer ownership of their home, or it becomes part of an estate. Application forms are available when property tax notices are issued.

We’ll be rising from the ashes soon...

Coaches edge out midgets in charity game Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association Coaches team squeaked out a 7-5 victory in a charity game with the Mayvin Midget Rep Milers on Jan. 2. The event, held at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, raised close to $400 and brought in a couple of boxes full of non-perishable food items for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society. The fast-paced game “gassed out a few of the coaches,” says Milers team manager Kersti Foote. “It was a good battle and it wasn’t easy.” Winner of the airplane toss contest was Greg Edle who pocketed $65 in prize money. The throw for first place was a close one and had to be measured off before a decision was made. Foote says there were lots of laughs throughout the game.

“It was pretty light out there. We’ll definitely do it again near the end of the season.”

Junior B hockey game should be a blast

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It’s going to be a night to remember when the Penticton Lakers take on Kamloops Storm in a Junior B hockey game at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre tonight (Jan. 11). Both are members of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League where the newly formed 100 Mile House Wranglers Jr. B Hockey Club will make its debut next season.

The game is expected to wrap up around 9:30 p.m.

Resolutions and predictions Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Bruce Rattray As we learned from the Mayan calendar prophesy, making predictions is an inexact science at best. Unfortunately, some predictions are all too easy. I predict we will make little or no progress in dealing with wars, climate change, child poverty or the gap between the rich and poor. My new year’s resolution is to try harder to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. 100 Mile House School Trustee Chris Pettman If I could have one resolution for 2013, I would hope that Chief Theresa S p e n c e’s hunger strike is not in vain and d r a w s the attention of the (Stephen) Harper government and that First Nation’s issues are brought to the fore-

front. She is willing to sacrifice everything for her people and she shouldn’t have to. Cariboo Regional District Area G Director and board chair Al Richmond As chair of the CRD, Director of Area G and representative on various provincial boards, I

will continue to work in the best interests of my constituents in

2013. In the coming year, I will work with our partners to explore opportunities to strengthen the economy,

and bring new employment opportunities to our communities. I look forward to holding public meetings to discuss the future of arts and recreation in the South Cariboo. Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow. Call 1-800-667-3742

Notice from DR. JOANNE LAPIN, Exeter Medical Clinic

To my patients: I am aware that my availability to you has been very limited for some time, and for this, I apologize. In order to address this, I have come to the very difficult decision of limiting the scope of my practice. Starting March 1, 2013, I will continue to see my patients who are in the following groups only: 1. My patients who are 80 years and older. 2. My patients undergoing active treatment for cancer. 3. Prenatal care and delivery for my own patients; I may be able to see other Exeter Clinic prenatal patients if time permits. Post-partum care, and care of the newborn will be continued for the first 6 months after delivery. 4. Palliative care/end of life care. 5. Anesthesia. This is not a decision that I have taken lightly. It has been my very great privilege to have worked with you over the past 29 years, and I sincerely thank you for this. Dr. David Ramorasata has kindly agreed to assume care for the remainder of my patients who choose to see him. As he is at Exeter Clinic, your medical records will be available to him without need for transferring them. You may of course attend another physician in the community if he or she is accepting new patients. I wish you all well, and thank you again for the privilege of being part of your lives. Sincerely, Dr. Joanne Lapin

CRD chair Al Richmond provides year-end report During the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Dec. 14 board meeting, board chair Al Richmond provided his annual year-end address. “Members of the board, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen … today, I have the distinct pleasure of reviewing the CRD’s key accomplishments and successes for 2012. Looking back over the past year, our region can be proud of its achievements. The CRD experienced many successes in 2012. The year started with our annual town-hall meetings in January and February throughout the 12 electoral areas and the four member municipalities. During these meetings we presented the proposed 2012 budget to our residents to seek feedback from them, before the budget was adopted at the end of March. In May, the CRD and the District of 100 Mile House hosted representatives of the North Central Local Government Association who congregated in 100 Mile for the association’s annual AGM and convention. Under the theme of the “Log Home Capital,” delegates and their partners were hosted to some great workshops, business sessions and of course some spectacular entertainment and social events. I would also like to take this opportunity to again thank the many volunteers from South Cariboo who dedicated their time and efforts to make this event successful. One of the highlights of the NCLGA convention for our region was when CRD Director and 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall was elected as the new NCLGA president. Overall, the NCLGA was an extremely successful event for the CRD and the District

Three members of the CRD board were elected to the UBCM executive board, including Quesnel Director Mayor Mary Sjostrom as president; myself as third vice-president. 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall was also appointed to the UBCM executive as the NCLGA representative. We will continue to follow up with the issues discussed at UBCM, and will collaborate with our regions’ provincial MLAs and federal MPs to ensure the people of the CRD have a voice in Victoria and Ottawa. The CRD successfully applied to a number of different provincial

and federal funding programs, including the Building Canada Fund, the Towns for Tomorrow program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Community Tourism Opportunities program and UBCM’s Fuel mitigation fund. Our fuel management projects and water and sewer systems received approximately $1.3 million through these programs, which went back into our communities throughout the region. Another $1.7 million was allocated to the CRD under the Community Works Fund, which focuses on green initiatives and energy efficiency projects. I would like to thank all the board members and staff for your dedication and perseverance throughout 2012.”

Mining sector rock solid in 2012 Strong demand in Asia, renewal in the industry

British Columbia’s mineral exploration and mining industry finished out a strong 2012, thanks in part to strong demand in Asia and a renewal of the mining industry, says Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Minister Rich Coleman Minister. B.C.’s 19 major mines provide high-paying, stable jobs and opportunities for families and communities across the province, he adds. Since 2011, two new major mines began production, with four more receiving permits and having construction already started. Additionally, in 2012, the provincial government has approved five major expansions of existing mines. “As committed in the BC Jobs Plan, the province is working to make regulatory processes more efficient, while maintaining high safety and environmental standards. Government reaffirmed its commitment to reducing red tape in 2012. “Progress on regulatory accountability has already begun as the initial commitment to reduce existing backlog on Notice of Work permits was met, and in 2012, over 335 permits received approval for exploration.” Coleman says the government is reviewing regulations to exempt low-risk exploration and mining activities from requiring Mines Act permits. The provincial and the federal government are working to develop a single, effective environmental assess-

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go.

Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013 • 10am to 2pm South Cariboo Search and Rescue Hall 5830B Horse Lake Rd., 100 Mile House

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Otherwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the opposite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now, Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the finish line LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Surround yourself with lots of friends when you cannot have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Taking a circuitous route will land you at the finish a little behind others, Capricorn. But you will get to the end nevertheless. Trust your instincts with this one.

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.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you probably won’t be able to rest your mind until you square away all of your finances and make a budget for the new year. Take on the job this week.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Introspection leads you on a mini-quest to find a creative outlet, Pisces. Play to your strengths and some ideas will surface.

Resolutions for you and your pets

By Lorie Chortyk Why not make your furry friends part of your New Year’s resolutions plans? The BC SPCA offers some ideas on New Year’s resolutions for animal lovers: • Get yourself and your dog off the couch and into the outdoors. Most dogs need walking at least twice daily to stay healthy and you will benefit, too. • The SPCA reunites thousands of lost animals with their families every year. Many animals are never claimed, however, and must be adopted into new homes because they have no identification. Make sure your pets have ID tags on their collar and a microchip or tattoo, and keep the information updated. • Participate in National Cupcake Day on Feb. 25. Help end animal cruelty one
