Bonnie Warden and her daughter, Sarah, visited and enjoyed the Third Annual Welcome Baby Party and baby clothing swap at 100 Mile Community Hall on April 27. There was a good turnout for the popular event sponsored by Child Care Resource & Referral and Success By 6.
The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) has a new board of directors for 2013/14, including a new executive. While the board members were appointed at the April 25 annual general meeting, some executive positions shifted when the membership was left without a candidate for president when Tom Bachynski resigned after his two-year term was over. The board has chosen Jennifer Appleby (Western Financial Group) as its new president, and Leon Chrétien (Sunrise Ford) as vice-president. SCCC executive director Angela Cole says both have served for one year as directors, but bring experience and leadership qualities that complement the board and each other. “I am looking forward to working with this bright group and I’m thrilled to see the advances we have made over the past year.” Appleby says she is looking forward to the challenge and to working with a great group bunch of business people. “Our challenge is showing the value of the chamber to its current members and encouraging new members. We want to expand the chamber’s reach.” She adds the board will brainstorm ideas for this year’s goals at a retreat and some meetings coming up. Chrétien says “something is needed” for changes to our economy. Continued on 9

Pneumonia vests shipped to Third World By Jack Witty In 1997, 191 pneumonia vests were knitted in the South Cariboo and sent off to children in tropical parts of the world to help newborns and infants with their healing. This year, 1,310 vests were dedicated at the 100 Mile United Church and sent off to the Canadian Food for Children group for delivery to countries in the Third World. These vests were knitted by folks from Forest Grove, Williams Lake, Lac la Hache, Lone Butte, 100 Mile House, Bridge Lake and all points in between. Thanks goes to the co-ordinating efforts by St. Peter’s Anglican Church and St. Andrew’s United Church in Williams Lake, and St. Timothy’s Anglican Church and the 100 Mile United Church in 100 Mile House. None of us will ever know the names or circumstances of the children who are helped. All we will ever know is we did our bit to spread love rather than hate and offer a helping hand rather than fatal indifference.

Economy dominates TV debate
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
British Columbia’s four major party leaders made their pitch for voter support in a 90-minute TV debate on April 29, with economic and resource issues dominating. B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark pressed her attack on Adrian Dix, the front-running leader of the NDP, accusing him of advocating big spending on government programs and restrictive environmental views that deter industrial development. “The NDP plan would rob Peter to pay Paul, hoping Paul will vote NDP,” Clark said. “My plan is to put both Peter and Paul to work.” Dix referred to B.C.’s ninth-place position in provincial job growth so far this year. “Neither Peter nor Paul are working,” he said. Both Dix and Clark pressed BC
Conservative Leader John Cummins on his rosy revenue forecasts, despite a promise to phase out the carbon tax on fossil fuels that would cost the provincial treasury more than $1 billion a year. Cummins responded to Clark’s jab about him being forced to fire four of his candidates for various indiscretions. One of them was accused of impaired driving, Cummins said, adding that one B.C. Liberal candidate is seeking re-election after being convicted of the same offence. Green Party Leader Jane Sterk was on the defensive about her long list of promises, including a guaranteed annual income to replace existing social programs, and extensive social programs for rural areas. Asked about her proposal to immediately raise the carbon tax by 66 per cent, Sterk described it as a “gradu-
al increase.” As they have in the first two weeks of the campaign for the May 14 B.C. election, Clark and Dix clashed over oil and gas development. Dix denied there was a plan to impose a moratorium on hydrau-
lic fracturing, saying Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse was wrong in referring to one last week. Clark stuck to her five conditions for approving new heavy oil pipelines, refusing to endorse or oppose
either proposal to bring more Alberta oil to the West Coast. She pressed Dix on his sudden reversal to oppose an expansion of the 60-year-old pipeline to Burnaby, which has seen increased demand for crude exports.

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. “42” tells the story of two men - the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking MLB’s infamous color line.

Election issue: agriculture policies
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Relief from carbon tax on farms and promotion of British Columbia-grown agricultural products are key promises in the campaign for the May 14 provincial election. The BC Liberal Party and the BC NDP have argued for a decade about the best way to promote local food consumption. The NDP platform promises to reinstate the “Buy B.C.” program that identifies products grown anywhere in the province. The B.C. Liberal government ended that program, and in 2012, it committed $2 million to regional “Buy Local” promotions that they say are more adaptable to local needs. The party’s current platform promises to double that funding to “promote 50- and 100-mile diets.” Neither party is specific about assistance for tree fruit growers. The NDP pledges to “help orchardists with replanting and other costs,” while the B.C. Liberals offer to “begin work on a permanent and sustainable tree fruit replant program, to be implemented following the current three-year, $2 million program.” In its pre-election budget, the B.C. Liberal government has offered $20 million in carbon tax relief for greenhouse and flower grow-

ers, in addition to an exemption for coloured gasoline and diesel used on farms. The Green Party of BC proposes major reforms, including phasing out synthetic chemical pesticides, banning genetically modified crops, such as canola, and removing taxes on value-added B.C. products, such as juices and wines. Platform highlights: • The B.C. Liberals promise a new meat inspection system by 2014, including a new “Certified B.C. Beef ” brand. The party also wants to create a “Centre of Excellence for Agriculture” at the University of the Fraser Valley. • The BC NDP promises $8 million per year starting in 2014 for agriculture programs. Plans include pilot programs to use B.C. produce in hospitals and long-term care facilities. • The BC Conservative platform promises only to “introduce policies that support farmers, ranchers and others.” The party emphasizes its pledge to phase out the carbon tax on all fossil fuels, citing its role in poor financial performance by B.C. agriculture relative to the rest of the country.
• The Green Party would prohibit further release of top-rated land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, and “provide small grants
to support municipalities and school boards that wish to maintain and expand community gardens and urban agriculture.”

Lac la Hache Elementary School principal Steve Carpenter, says it is pretty calm around the school at the moment. Students and staff participated in the Lights Out Canada and Earth Day on April 22. They will be cleaning up the roads around the school by picking up garbage, weeding the school garden in preparation for planting after the May long weekend, and keeping lights and electronics at a low level. On April 16, they were invited by Mile 108 Elementary School to attend an African drumming and dance group named Kunda, which was amazing. On April 18, students and staff enjoyed a homemade ham soup, made with the leftover bones and meat from the very successful ham dinner auction held earlier this month. It was cooked by some of the students and the in-house nutrition coordinator Sylvia Zailo.

By Melody Newcombe Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) is currently holding its Third Annual Bright Red Bookshelf book drive in 100 Mile House. Our elementary school children and teachers are busy collecting new and gently used books. The book drive runs from May 1 to 31. Each local school has a red book drive box that students will be decorating with their names, pictures, stories and just having fun with it while collecting books. Pictures of these boxes will be on the CCPL website at the end of the book drive. Folks can make a difference in a child’s life one book at a time. For many children, owning a book of their own is like a special treasure. Please donate new and gently used books. One of our goals is to keep the Bright Red Bookshelves (BRB) stocked with books, so all children in our community will always have access to a book of their own. Our community partner Cedar Crest Society for Community Living cleans, labels and distributes books to the BRB locations. Books can be dropped off at the arena at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre and at the GROW. During the past three years, CCPL has given out more than 12,000 books. We need your

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section. 2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have. 3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized. 4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases. 5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people. 6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.” 7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage. 8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself. 9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding. 10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

Ticks are back: time to take precautions
An early start to warm spring weather means many people are getting out and enjoying the great outdoors. The warm weather also brings out ticks, which bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from tick bites. “Covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks when returning from a walk, hike, or bike ride are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” says Dr. Karin Goodison, public health physician with Interior Health. “Most tick bites do not cause illness. However, any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned with soap and water because infection can occur whenever there is a
break in the skin.” The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) species, which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. H o w e v e r, the wood tick can carry other diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare. Lyme disease-carrying ticks (Ixodes pacificus) are more common in the coastal areas of British Columbia. Ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if they are attached for several days, especially in children or seniors, but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed from the skin. The signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and rash.
“Lyme diseasecarrying ticks are less common in the Interior of B.C. than on the Coast. However, residents do travel
around the province, so it’s important they are aware of the signs of Lyme disease,” says Goodison. “Approximately 70-80 per cent of people newly infected with Lyme disease will develop a skin rash that looks like a “bull’s-eye” and often expands from the site of the tick bite. “The rash may be accompanied by fever,

headache, and aches or pains in muscles and joints. People who experience this rash should see a doctor as soon as possible.” One of the most important ways to reduce the risk of tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors. Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. • Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and lightcoloured clothing. • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. • Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. • Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when

leaving an area where ticks may live. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds. • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. • Keep wood piles

team events and going back to a community event where everyone can come to Centennial Park on June 8 to participate and have fun. All the while, they will be continuing to raise awareness of what the cancer society does. The public is invited to come down and enjoy the music and activities running all day, says Pennicott.
“You realize when you have been affected by it how much it becomes a part of your world that you weren’t involved in before. “You realize the importance of the cancer society and how much you need it. You know there’s a group there for you and that’s what I want to help bring to people – you’re not alone.”
Dix opposes major pipeline expansion
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
NDP Leader Adrian Dix has indicated he won’t support the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby. Announcing his environment policy in Kamloops on April 22, Dix stuck with his longstanding position that Kinder Morgan Canada must formally apply to twin its 60-year-
old pipeline before he offers an opinion on it. However, he added that he would not support a “five- or six-fold” increase in oil tanker traffic from the company’s Westridge Marine Terminal shipping facility. Vancouver should not become a “major export oil port,” Dix said. Kinder Morgan is in the preliminary stages of applying for permits to nearly triple the
capacity of its pipeline to about 850,000 barrels a day of crude oil. Last year, a company spokesman said increased capacity would mean more than 300 tankers a year travelling in Burrard Inlet. That would be a steep increase over the current traffic. Increased export demand for Alberta oil sands crude brought a high of 69 tankers to Burnaby in 2010, but just 32 tankers were loaded
in 2011. The NDP has opposed the competing Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, which would carry Alberta oil sands crude to an export terminal at Kitimat. The B.C. Liberals
have demanded five conditions for any expansion of heavy oil pipelines across British Columbia, including “world class” land and marine spill response capacity and a “fair share” of economic benefits.
