Q. Would you work hard to get your government to open the closed beds at Fischer Place, so our seniors who need care do not have to be sent to other communities and separated from their spouses and families?
a. The best way to prevent poverty is jobs. I would work with Ministries to: engage industry and communities job creation; provide the necessary trades and training programs to prepare our youth for the future; bring trades and training programs to rural communities; and provide the opportunities for workers

As Mayor when Mill Site Lodge opened I worked with the local health authorities and lobbied government during the development of the South Cariboo Health Facility and Fischer Place and will continue to be an advocate in support of opening the 14 beds.
To support seniors staying in their communities, I will continue to work toward all senior health care needs: transportation, respite, caregiver support, adult daycare, home support and development of a community-based seniors advocate.
How would you further support seniors in your community? a. The Green Party believes in providing appropriate and affordable community and home based care for all BC seniors. The population of our seniors is set to increase over the next decade, a plan needs to be put forward to deal with this increase. The Green
Party of BC is dedicated to improving home and community care for our seniors.

The BC NDP will expand home support and community care for seniors and improve service levels in residential care facilities throughout BC. We will improve access to multidisciplinary health clinics and rebuild basic surgery,
obstetrics, diagnostics and critical care in targeted rural hospitals. If elected, I will work hard to ensure seniors in the Cariboo-Chilcotin have the care they need close to home, including additional beds at Fischer Place.
ties and separated from their spouses and families? How would you further support seniors in your community? a. The closed beds at Fischer Place have been promised by the Liberals for several years. The funding is available. Identify new revenue streams and DIRECT these monies to Seniors care and opening the beds. One matter sadly lacking is the appreciation
of the value of seniors in a community. I have expressed and promoted this extensively. I would work to galvanize seniors to organize concerns and promote this to govt and ministries.

SCHOOL HEADS School District #27 has made new administrative appointments for 2013-2014 at three South End schools effective Aug. 1. Heather Goodall, viceprincipal at Cataline Elementary School in Williams Lake, will become Mile 108 Elementary School principal. 100 Mile Junior Secondary School vice-principal Ty Lytton will take on the vice-principal role at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School.

READING AID The 100 Mile and District White Cane Club has installed an electronic magnification device for public use at the 100 Mile House Branch Library. Residents needing a little help reading their mail, newspapers, library book covers or anything else difficult without magnification and to look at pictures, can benefit from this valuable tool. This machine can help anyone experiencing vision loss. For further information, call Kathy Sanness at 250-3954547.
RURAL LIQUOR RELIEF The province has worked with the Rural Agency Store Advisory Society to negotiate a discount on its liquor purchases. Effective April 28, rural agency stores are benefiting from a 12 per cent discount on liquor purchased from the Liquor Distribution Branch, up from the previous 10 per cent. The change builds on recent revisions to the current liquor laws in British Columbia and government’s commitment to improve the success of rural liquor agency stores.

who are skilled but not ticketed to challenge the tests so they may obtain their trade ticket. Q. How would you improve health care in this constituency and ensure the funding is available for your measures?
A. Work with all health-care providers to ensure they have the supports necessary to serve their clients. Work with health authorities to ensure the CaribooChilcotin receives the necessary funding. Bring together local
health care providers and constituents in an advisory capacity to develop community based solutions to address any community shortfalls in services and funding. Use this as a tool to lobby for funding needs.
Q. Would you vote in favour of increasing the Provincial Sales Tax or personal income tax? A. I would not support increasing Provincial Sales Tax or personal income tax. Taxpayers have told
me no more taxes or fees. To provide more financial resources to support our social networks, we need new revenue streams. That can only happen with policies to encourage private-sector investment.
DUstin PriCe believes in a Triple Aim approach, one that many jurisdictions across the developed world have adopted. The Triple Aim approach is as follows: Improve
population health and reduce health inequities; Improve the patient experience and the quality of care; and Reduce health care costs.
It would be my goal to listen to people and voice their concerns with health care in our area and fight to have the peoples needs met. Q. Would you vote in
favour of increasing the Provincial Sales Tax or personal income tax? A. I would not vote to increase the Provincial Sales Tax or Personal Income Tax.

favour of increasing the Provincial Sales Tax or personal income tax? A. Under the BC NDP there will be no HST-like surprises, 98% of British Columbians will see no change to their tax rate and there will be no increase to the small business rate. We will

Cariboo Memorial serves a huge geographical area, travelling to Kamloops or Vancouver often isn’t possible or incurs much expense. Increase tax on all tobacco, impose an “import tax” on all alcohol coming into BC, legalize and tax marijuana and all these revenues go DIRECTLY to Health Care. Eliminate the onerous carbon tax on hospitals.
Q. Would you vote in favour of increasing the Provincial Sales Tax or personal income tax? A. No to increasing any sales tax but eliminating some such as property transfer tax and tax on used cars.
Personal income tax should be eliminated on incomes under the poverty line. Before increasing income tax we need a baseline and a “why” explanation before proceeding.

Flight 21 monument construction underway
Ken Alexander Free Press
Local resident Ruth Peterson’s desire to build a rock cairn at 100 Mile House Airport as a memorial to the 52 people, who lost their lives in a tragic plane crash near 100 Mile nearly 48 years ago, is coming closer to fruition. The Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 21 was flying from Vancouver to Whitehorse on July 8, 1965 when it crashed near Dog Creek, about 40 kilometres west of 100 Mile House. All of the 46 passengers and six crew members perished in the fiery crash. Last year, Peterson and her husband, Barry, travelled to Dog Creek where the remnants of the Douglas DC-CB remain scattered around the crash site. After the experience, Peterson says she thought it would be easier for surviving family members to visit a cairn at the local airport, so they could have a moment to reflect on their loved ones without having to travel to the crash site. On March 12, District of 100 Mile House council approved the location and the design of the
monument. However, the site was encroaching on Spectra Energy’s pipeline right-of-way, so Peterson proposed a new location on the south side of Airport Road. Although it is within 30 metres of the right-of-way, no mechanical excavation is required, so a Spectra permit isn’t required. At its April 23 meeting, council rescinded its March 12 approval, and unanimously passed a resolution to approve the new location and design for the monument to Flight 21. With the District’s approval of the new location, work is currently underway to construct the monument. Peterson says she was very pleased to see the base was built, as it is sign that the monument project is actually going to happen. As far as having to go back to the drawing board to relocate the monument site, she says it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. “I’m so much happier with the new location. The marsh in the background is a perfect setting for the monument.” Retired stone mason

Amber Malm, left, watched her father, Ken Greenall, build the base for the new Flight 21 monument at the South Cariboo Visitors Centre. She was joined by her sister, Lynn Lievers, and nephews, Stran Lievers and Kash Lievers. The monument is being built by volunteers with material and labour donations, but fundraising is underway for a plaque.
Nigel Pearce is donating his services for the cairn, and Peterson says she hopes he will be able to work on the monument now that the weather has warmed up. “I did not ask him to donate his services; he told me he would only take on the project if he could do it for free.” Pearce says he will work on it this week, but leaves for a job next week and will work on it off and on as time permits. Peterson adds Ken Greenall installed the base for free. He will
return to place the plaque when it arrives. “It’s all a testament to the generosity of our community.” While she isn’t certain where the fundraising tally stands at this time, Peterson says the group she is working with received a $1,000 donation from a man who lost both of his parents on Flight 21. “He lives in Buffalo, New York, so it amazed me how farreaching the story has been. He was here in 2000 but was unable to find the crash site and

has never been there. “It really drove home the importance of the monument for me.” Peterson adds she has also received many e-mails regarding the recovery efforts. It has prompted her to plan for a second, freestanding plaque that she hopes to have in place next year. “That plaque will touch on the actual event, as well as recognize the heroic efforts of the residents of 100 Mile House and area.” She says the group is now at a point where it needs to decide if it’s in a position to order the plaque. It requires a minimum of four weeks to be made and shipped. Peterson says she has sent out some fundraising letters to local businesses and service groups and she is optimistic they will meet some success. Meanwhile, donations can be made directly to the District of 100 Mile House (Flight 21 monument) or Peterson can be reached at brpeters@ telus.net for further information.

Clark credits Barnett, denounces Dix promises Campaign cruises through Cariboo
Carole Rooney Free Press
Premier Christy Clark is touring the Interior in what she has dubbed a “brainstorming tour” and stopped in 100 Mile House on May 2. When she stepped off the bus, Clark immediately hugged Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, and they greeted each other like old friends.
After a public reception at the Red Rock Grill, the B.C. Liberal Leader granted a short interview to share a few of her thoughts. Clark says the one word that best describes Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett it is “tenacious,” which has resulted in getting “a lot of things done” for her constituents. “If Donna decides that something needs to be

Growing up in a small town didn’t stop TV personality Michaela Pereira from breaking into the big time. Pereira graduated from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary
School in 1988, and following her post secondary education at Camosun College and University of Victoria, went on to work at CHEK TV in 1994. She moved up the ranks in 2004 as co-anchor for the Emmy-winning KTLA5 Morning News in Los Angeles. Now, Pereira is heading to New York to take the position of news anchor for a new CNN morning show, and will work with cohosts Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan. The show is slated to premiere some later this spring.
done, she doesn’t care if it is five years or seven years or 10 years, she will never give it up until it is done.” The red-meat abattoir to be installed in 100 Mile House this summer is a prime example, she notes. When she made Norm Letnick her Agriculture Minister, Clark explains she told him the South Cariboo has been struggling with a problem for 12 years. “I say: it’s an abattoir problem and ... I want you to fix this for Donna Barnett.” Barnett had been working hard to get an abattoir back in the community and Clark says the MLA was clearly not going to let it slide. “The $50,000 [recent grant] for the museum, and for The Lodge, that is fantastic. It’s a smaller amount of money in terms of government, but it’s a huge amount of money for the community.” She adds Barnett’s successful efforts in other parts of the constituency included $2-million in operating grants for Deni House long-term care facility in Williams Lake. “Donna [Barnett] makes sure we get it done. I don’t think there is another MLA like her; I really don’t. And, I don’t think this community

was “excited” when she heard about the review because it is “the next step” in the education plan, after recent regional reviews of the graduation requirements. Guenther explains she personally thinks the FSA data can be misinterpreted. “It’s great that the FSAs are being included in this review. I’m not necessarily for or against them, but I think some of the information that comes from the FSAs is perhaps misused by other third-party organizations.” The deans of education at University of British Columbia, Dr. Blye Frank, and Simon Fraser University, Dr. Kris Magnusson, are co-chairs of the advi-
sory group. Guenther adds she believes these educators are the “perfect selections” to head the advisory group. “I think that is fabulous because one of the things this also needs to be tied to ... is entry into post-secondary education. But also, if there are changes or different things that come forward, it has to be included in the teachers’ education. “It will improve both of those areas.” All of the advisory group’s discussion documents, work plans and outcomes will be posted on the education ministry’s website at www.gov. bc.ca/bced.
has been so well represented since Alex Fraser ... she is so good.” (Fraser was the Cariboo MLA for the Social Credit Party from 1969-1989). Dix denounced for costly promises Clark says NDP Leader Adrian Dix hasn’t come clean on the true costs of his election planks. “The fact that the platform isn’t even fully costed is a pretty good indication [Dix] isn’t telling us what he wants to do.” She adds a good recent example is the NDP having made $3-billion in new spending promises it can’t cover under the current balanced budget. (According to the NDP, it is $2 billion.) “They’ve said ‘don’t worry, we are going to pay for it all in our freezing of capital projects.’ So, no new roads, no new hospitals, no new schools.” However, Clark says when her B.C. Liberal Party asked if large projects in the budget will be cancelled, the NDP says they still plan to do
them all. “You can’t have it both ways, so either they are lying about where they are going to get the money, or they are actually going to stop a lot of capital projects in the province that people need.” “I have challenged them today, to show us the list, so we know what the list is, and they haven’t been able to produce one.” Noting this lack of clarity is an obstacle to winning an election, Clark likened the NDP’s platform to a game of Twister. “Everybody is trying to get on as many spots as they can, and take as many positions as they can – that is Adrian Dix. “The way you win Twister is by never standing up ... and I don’t think you can win in politics without standing up. “That is the difference, we are not playing Twister, we are talking about principals and a future for our province. So, I am doing my best to stand up for the things I believe in, and I think [Dix] needs to as well.”

The District of 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo Sustainability Society (SCSS) are encouraging folks to participate in their Idle Free campaign to reduce vehicle idling from May 1 to Sept. 1. Drivers in the District boundaries are asked to turn off their engines if stopping for more than 60 seconds. The District has posted Idle Free Zone signs to raise awareness about the campaign, which focuses on the financial and environmental costs of idling,
250-395-7494
as well as the benefits of reduced idling on people’s health and pocketbooks. The signs request motorists to “Turn Engine Off,” and they are posted at the District office on Birch Avenue, Centennial Park, the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, Martin Exeter Hall and outside those businesses that have already volunteered to participate. Mayor Mitch Campsall and Canada Safeway manager Sean Watson helped promote the event on
May 6 by posting four signs outside the store. Watson had a special
cake made up for the event and served it with coffee donated by Tim Hortons. More signs are available at the district office for a nominal cost to businesses volunteering to post them.

’m concerned many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine-beetle catastrophe.

GUEST SHOT
here are only a few more days left in “Silly Season” and then we can go to the polls on May 14 to determine which direction this province is going to move in the next four years. We believe this election is pivotal for the future of British Columbia. If we, as an electorate, don’t make the wise decision this province could be left in the dust by large global economic powerhouses. Or we could rush over the edge of the precipice because our provincial government is racing to follow a pipe dream without looking where it’s heading. We need to make an educated decision about who we’re sending to represent us in Victoria. There are two problems attached to the previous sentence. First problem: the way politicians are built these days, there is no surety that the people we are sending to the legislature in Victoria will represent us because there is a chance the candidates will not just toe the party line, or just start marching to the beat of their own drum. Second problem: how do you make an educated decision when you have one party giving little in the way of details about its platforms and the other trying to convince the electorate that it hasn’t been arrogant while holding the reins of government. Instead of getting reasoned debate on the major issues facing British Columbians – the economy, health, education, poverty and jobs – we’re witnessing a finger-pointing campaign by the major parties. Oh, they’re all talking about throwing a Band-Aid on the popular issues with a few million dollars here and there, but they’re not talking about how they’re going to fix the core problems. That is the real problem. They are not talking about how they’re going to lead us into the future where we will be competing with the global powerhouses that would love nothing better than to strip mine our natural resources for the lowest cost possible. We do need change, but we don’t need change for the sake of change, which in the end would likely turn into the “same old, same old.” We cannot afford a radical (philosophical) pendulum swing. We need a steady, measured path to making this province ready for the future. The polls show the gap is tightening as we approach election. Perhaps, the best result might just be a deadlock between the Big 2, with the Independents and the other parties holding the balance of power. Then there might not be a head-long dash to the abyss.

recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the United Stated government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates. Have the B.C. Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long-governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking you to agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

NDP agricultural critic made erroneous statements To the editor: I would like to comment on the erroneous statements made by BC NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham regarding the mobile abattoir, headlined Agriculture critic looks at local issues on page A14 in the April 17 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press The correct information is a brand new mobile abattoir unit has been ordered and is in construction phase and will arrive in 100 Mile House
in mid-August, and it will be operational for the fall run. The statements made by Ms. Popham saddened those of us who have worked on this project for months. I don’t know whether she just doesn’t understand the importance of this unit to the producers in the South Cariboo or whether she really cares. What Popham needs to understand is this facility will serve both NDP and B.C. Liberal supporters.
For her to try to undermine the progress of the project for the sake of a political election is unforgivable. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick was given the meat-inspection file in 2012. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who had been working closely with a group of locals on the slaughter issue, immediately got us an audience with him. Letnick not only listened to what we had to say, but also travelled the province listening to all stakeholders
Where does McLeod stand on wasteful mailings? To the editor: Word is out the federal Conservatives plan to use our tax dollars to mail their juvenile propaganda against Justin Trudeau to our homes. Will Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod sink to that level? The answer is in the mail. By now you’ve probably seen the TV commercials. In them, the Conservatives use out-of-context fabrications and falsehoods to try to smear the new Liberal leader. Instead, Liberals are responding with a positive campaign that introduces Canadians to the real Trudeau, focused on his plans to fight for middle-class families and for all those who are working so hard to join the middle-class. But, Conservatives plan to use their Parliamentary mailing and printing

This is a gross misuse of tax dollars that should be going toward constructive public discussion of public issues, not partisan character assassination. At least 19 Conservative backbenchers have had the courage to reject this wasteful and dishonest abuse. They say it’s beneath their standards. But what about your MP?

affected by the new meat-inspection regulations, including the abattoirs. When he called a meeting of all industry stakeholders in November 2012 in Abbotsford, he included everyone the regulations would affect. Popham was also invited. Letnick listened to everyone and then he tackled all the issues surrounding these regulations. He implemented solutions to help the producers in communities like 100 Mile House that had been left out in
the cold. He did a great job. Instead of publishing erroneous information Popham should have got her facts straight and offered her congratulations to both Letnick and Barnett on their achievement. It is thanks to their tireless efforts, area producers will now have slaughter back in 100 Mile House and be able to conduct business in a very competitive market. Diane Wood Lac la Hache
Make bird feeder inaccessible to cats To the editor: I was reading Carole Rooney’s April 17 page A3 article, headlined Dead birds pose health risk, about cats becoming ill as a result of eating wild birds such as wintering common redpolls at bird feeders. The focus of your article appeared to be on the need to keep a clean feeder to prevent the spread of diseases, such as salmonella, to cats. While this is important, I believe there is a better win/win for both the cats and birds. Outdoor cats are the leading cause of death among both birds and mammals in the United States, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, killing 1.4 billion to 3.7 billion birds each year. When people are ensuring that they have clean bird feeders, they should also
take the time to make them inaccessible to cats. Hanging the feeders from trees and posts in a cat free environment is key and maintaining a flat base under the feeder to capture seed spillage is really important. While it is hard to ensure there is no spillage to the ground a regular raking/ shovelling up of the seed is important. Education of people who want to continue to enjoy watching birds in their back yards is paramount. We need to be proactive to reduce the serious rate loss of songbirds by domestic animals. This is just one solution – bells on cats is also an important preventive measure. Ian Barnett Kamloops

BC VIEWS
hen Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP Leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a sixminute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do; say how you’re going to pay for it.” So, it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signalled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government. This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign
ernment will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008. If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

the province Missing for more than 3 weeks QUESNEL - Police are looking for a 39-yearold man who has connections to Quesnel and has not returned to his Kelowna residence since April 14. Wednesday, April 19, Kelowna RCMP received a report of a missing spouse. Christopher Shawn Kuhnke left his home April 14, picked up his cheque from his employer, a construction company in Kelowna, and has not been seen since. He has associates in Quesnel, however enquiries have failed to locate him there. There is no reason to suspect foul play at this time as he has left home without notice before and subsequently returned. Kuhnke is described as caucasian, 5’9”-5’10” tall, 175 lbs, blonde hair and blue eyes, and last seen wearing a green army-type jacket, a red work shirt, grey khaki pants and a blue ball cap. Kuhnke has no vehicle. Anyone with any information call Kelowna RCMP Detachment, 250-762-3300.
Hard line on hard drugs
SALMON ARM - An investigation by the Salmon Arm RCMP’s plainclothes officers has resulted in the seizure of quantities of methamphetamine and heroin and the arrest of one man. On Thursday, May 2, at approximately 8 p.m., police searched a residence on 10th Ave. SW. and discovered the quantities of hard drugs. One adult man was arrested at the scene. Police are forwarding criminal charges related to drug trafficking. “The Salmon Arm detachment remains vigilant against the growing use of hard drugs within the community. Anyone having information of drug trafficking is requested to contact the local detachment,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane.

After one cup of coffee, it takes about 90 minutes for the caffeine to reach its maximum concentration in the blood and can take from 3-7 hours for it to be cleared from the body in the urine. Pregnant women take longer to metabolize the caffeine so should drink less (1-2 cups). As the days become longer and sunnier, it’s a good time to remind everyone of the importance of sunscreens. Sunscreens have Sun Protection Factor (SPF) numbers on them to indicate the degree of protection. Use ones with an SPF 30 or higher. Apply sunscreens correctly. It takes about a teaspoonful for each leg, chest and stomach and back. Use a little over a half teaspoonful for each arm, your face and the back of the neck and ears. Let it soak in for a half hour before you go out in the sun and reapply if you are sweating or swimming. Some sports sunscreens are thicker and stay on longer. Take charge of your own health and take steps to prevent problems from occurring. Since sunburns are the main cause of skin cancers, use of sunscreen lotions is a good example of taking charge.
Hazel Smith Sheridan Lake I like to spend Mother’s Day with my two grown boys. I appreciate a card or two, but I don’t need much pampering. I recently retired from a career as Licensed Practical Nurse, and spent most of my past Mother’s Days working and trying to make the day special for the moms I was caring for.
Chelsea Weatherill 100 Mile House I enjoy spending Mother’s Day with my kids at Green Lake. My family usually takes me out for dinner, too, which is also really special. I have six kids, who span in age from two to 20 years old, so we always make quite a family day out of it.

Be wary of deer on roads
Police
report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 79 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Deer on roads During the past week, several deer were struck by vehicles on the highways in the region. Due to the increased number of animals near the roadways at this time of the year, motorists are reminded to be extra cautious, particularly during the late afternoon/evening hours. Bike turned in On May 3, a small pink-coloured child’s bicycle was found at 100 Mile House Elementary School. Two older boys were seen playing with the bike prior to its recovery. The boys abandoned the bike beside the school building, where it was then recovered and turned over to the RCMP. It is requested the owner of this bicycle phone the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment at 250-395-2456 to claim this property. Pub brawl On May 2, police responded to the report of approximately six males fighting at the Iron Horse Pub in Lone Butte. When RCMP arrived on scene the fight was already over and the crowd had disbanded. No charges will be sought in this matter. The Iron Horse Pub staff closed up early and sent all patrons home for the night. Assistance sought On April 29, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a complaint of a break-and-enter into a residence at Canim Lake. Subsequent to police attendance, it was found the house which had been entered had been badly vandalized with an axe. Damages to
the residence are estimated at approximately $20,000. A suspect was later identified, located and arrested by police. Charges of breakand-enter and mischief over $5,000 are being recommended against a 23-year-old 100 Mile House man. Assistance sought On May 3, a female driving a 2008 Ford Fusion was stopped at the intersection of Heron Ridge Road and Highway 97. While stopped at the light, a green-coloured pickup truck rear ended her vehicle and then fled the scene. 100 Mile House Traffic Services attended. Damages were estimated at more than $1,000. RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect vehicle. If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area, call

Anti-gang police publish first community report Jeff Nagel Black Press
British Columbia’s anti-gang police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. Their investigations have cracked big cases, such as the discovery of an audacious cross-

border drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unravelling of a massive international money-laundering ring. The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community

Green energy perfect for B.C. To the editor: It’s encouraging to see wind-energy projects finally making inroads in British Columbia. The green, renewable energy that wind farms provide is a welcome addition to the hydro energy we’ve long enjoyed in this province. Interestingly, B.C.’s incredible hydro resources have actually slowed the development of the province’s equally incredible wind energy resources. B.C. was the last province in Canada to tap into wind energy.
However, unlike other parts of the country where wind farms are often located near to where people live, in B.C. the best wind energy resources tend to be located far away from populated areas, but still relatively close to existing transmission lines. The best thing about developing B.C.’s wind energy resources and run-of-river projects too, is the fact they are typically located in places that have been logged and mined extensively over the past century.
That gives us an opportunity to fix the environmental damage that was done in previous decades when environmental standards were not as high as they are today. No matter how you look at it, developing B.C.’s green-energy resources is a huge environmental win for the province because it prepares us for the future, while building on the present and repairing the past.

Mr. Young is wrong to suggest the project will harm Fish Lake. The truth is Fish Lake and its trout population will be protected during all phases of mine
operations. There will be no harmful impact to Fish Lake. This is an important project for the Cariboo, one that has the potential to contribute significantly to the region for many years.

Water park raffle tickets on sale May 15
Ken Alexander Free Press
After receiving a $20,265.71 cheque from the 100 Mile House and District Youth & Recreation Society, which was provided money by the Dylan Castonguay Memorial Fund, 100 Mile House Waterpark Society spokesperson Jamie Hughes says the local group received another substantial donation. On May 1, the 100 Mile branch of the Williams Lake and District Credit Union presented $5,000 to the
society to help them build a water park in Centennial Park. Hughes says she was very happy to get the donation and notes it brings the donations’ total to $27,666. After having the proposal to build the water park endorsed, with some provisos, by the District of 100 Mile House, Hughes applied for a society number, so the group can start some serious fundraising. The project could cost as much at $450,000 and the society has to raise all of
the money before construction can begin. Noting every dollar counts, she says they wanted to embark on a fundraising raffle, but that stalled when the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch told her they would have to be a society for one year before they could get a gaming licence. Undaunted, Hughes immediately started looking for a solution. She approached the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, which sponsored the gaming licence, and Success By
6, which is covering the advertising costs. Starting May 15, the society will be selling raffle tickets at $10 apiece. The prize, which the society paid for, is a $3,000 travel voucher from Marlin Travel in Kamloops towards the winner’s destination of choice. Tickets will be available at Kal Tire, United Carpet, Sunrise Ford, Cariboo Family
Enrichment Centre and society members will be selling them at Save-On-Foods and Safeway (dates yet to be determined). Folks can also call Hughes at 250-7915406 or Corey Wells at 250-706-2346 for tickets or more information. Only 1,000 tickets were printed and all proceeds are going to the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society.

CFSEU unveils profile of murder victims, warning signs for parents
From A11
Report. The report can be read online at www.bcanti-gang.com. Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more people aware of the CFSEU and what it does. The initiative comes as the anti-gang force chalks up a major win – the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino. “Some people never thought that day would ever come,” Houghton said. “Or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna.” Houghton added the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU’s work than people see in daily news media coverage. “It seems like every couple of weeks or month we’ve got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us to tell it.” The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/ Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C. And it also releases intriguing findings on
who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-related murder victims over a four-year period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts. Most were gang members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a man who was shot in Burnaby after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it. B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year. Victims are overwhelmingly men and their average age is 30, according to CFSEU stats. Three-quarters of bodies are found near the victims’ homes or vehicles. Most (85 per cent) were shot, but eight per cent were viciously beaten, six per cent were stabbed and one victim was burned to death. Also included are key risk factors for ending up in a gang and tips for parents on spotting potential signs of gang involvement. Carrying multiple cell phones, having unexplained cash and making fre-

quent brief trips out of the home are among the red flags. The report details how police try to keep gangsters out of bars and restaurants to keep them from recruiting new blood, as well as to prevent gang violence.

What have they done to Grandpa? H
undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services. The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.
Universal home support
COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.
On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Tax freeze needed
Free Press
With the provincial election looming and party platforms unrolling, the Canadian Fe d e r at i on of Independent Business (CFIB) conducted its own poll. A recent survey by the CFIB shows small businesses in British Columbia believe a tax freeze and balanced budget are top priorities. In the survey, 95 per cent of small business owners say the next B.C. government should hold the line on tax increases. Another top-ranking answer from small business operators is keeping the provincial
budget balanced, with 73 per cent “very supportive” of this move as a key factor in fiscal management. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she “agrees completely” with holding back any tax increases for small businesses. “If you look at the numbers of [people] that small business employs, that is the biggest employer. Without small business, the country would be in dire straits.” During her four years in office, she adds, small business owners have approached her to lobby for more help for local governments to keep property taxation down, too.
Barnett says she also fully supports getting back to and maintaining a balanced budget, as her B.C. Liberal party is doing now. She explains a balanced budget is important for preserving the province’s AAA credit rating. “I agree with [the survey respondents]. I’ve been in small business, I understand it.” M e a n w h i l e , Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse says his party won’t hike these taxes, nor will it change what qualifies as a “small business.” “The NDP recognizes small business is the mainstay for B.C.’s commercial backbone.
Land use applications streamlined The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has been selected to be part of a two-year pilot project that will reduce the timeframe for processing many land use applications. Beginning April 1, the CRD board will have the authority to adopt specific land-use bylaws without requiring ministerial approval. CRD chair Al Richmond says it takes some of the “red tape” out of land-use bylaw approvals. “It streamlines it and means that [the CRD] is just like a municipality now because municipalities can do this without it, so we’ll be able to do the same thing.” Until 2013, the board could only advance these bylaws to third reading, and then seek the approval of the Ministry of Community,
Sport and Cultural Development before adoption. This includes the bylaws that amend zoning and Official Community Plan (OCP) changes, he explains. The CRD was approved for the pilot due to its practices for First Nations engagement and responding to issues raised by government agencies in land-use referrals, along with 11 (of 27) other regional districts in British Columbia. Richmond estimates a time savings at least one month for specific land-use applications. “We won’t have that three-tofour week, or maybe even longer, pause before we can adopt these and move forward. We will be able to give people an answer with more certainty, sooner.”
There are no proposed increases in the small business taxation rate, or any changes in the small business earning threshold.” The NDP have now reworked the 2013 budget figures, he explains, and the B.C. Liberals have “lowballed” expenditures and “over-estimated” revenue. “We do not believe we will be able to balance the budget like the [B.C.] Liberals for the next [fiscal year]. “If we are elected government, we are committed to balance the budget over the term of the mandate.” For his part, Cariboo-Chilcotin Independent candidate Gary Young says the CFIB survey closely reflects what he believes the next provincial government must do, but even more is needed to help jobs and smaller-revenue businesses. “The report from small business in B.C. reiterates much of my [previously] stated position. “As small business is the real ‘engine’ of job creation, they often need some specific tax breaks to continue.” Government should increase tax on big corporations and banks to this purpose, he explains. “We need a balanced budget, but a government-stated deficit of $1.2 billion for [the last budget ending March 31] is not balanced. “Our biggest obstacle is $55 billion in

What Time Would You Like It To Be? There is an old joke about someone asking a lawyer the time of day. In the joke, the lawyer’s answer is: What time would you like it to be? People often ask lawyers and accountants how long they should keep documents. The correct answer should probably be: What time would you like it to be? - or, in other words, why do you want to know? Because the correct answer depends on the questioner’s reason for asking. Accountants will usually tell people that for tax purposes they should keep documents for seven years – and the fact is that for many purposes seven years is long enough. There are, however, exceptions – in some cases, you should keep your records forever. There are often situations where a person may have to prove ownership of something which was purchased thirty or forty years previously. How do you prove ownership without records? Lawyers regularly see examples of problems arising where a person only keeps records for seven years. Couples who divorced over twenty-five years ago and agreed to split their pension – but by the time the husband retired, there were no longer records showing when he started contributing to it. The would-be immigrant unable to prove he completed high school in 1979. With recent changes to family law in British Columbia, there will be many more such examples – because the old 50:50 rule on splitting up family property has been changed to a rule that says that it’s only 50:50 on the increase in value of family property since the start of cohabitation. What about the story family law lawyers often hear: I put up 90% of the money when we bought the house and he only put up 10%? Under the new legislation, prove that you put up 90% of the money to start with and you’ll recover that money – but for a forty year marriage, let’s hope you didn’t throw out all your documents after the first seven years! So, do you want to know what time it is? Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

The 100 Mile District General Hospital welcomed a much-needed piece of equipment to its medical lab recently, largely made possible by generous cash donations from the community. A new hematology analyzer, valued at $28,000, was acquired by the South Cariboo Health Foundation, with approximately $17,000 provided by the foundation through public donations and fundraising efforts, and approximately $11,000 coming from the Cariboo Regional District.

results if, and when, we need to use it.” Gosnell adds the new analyzer will be put into service only if the main unit breaks down or when it’s undergoing regular maintenance. It will receive a couple of months of testing before being put into use.

Election issue: child care and early education
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Child care policies offer a clear choice between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election. BC Liberal Party Leader Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan to begin saving for post-secondary training. Former premier Gordon Campbell established the fund when the British Columbia gov-
ernment was enjoying budget surpluses, before the 2008 downturn in the world economy. That’s added to the B.C. Liberal “early years strategy” that includes full-day kindergarten, $142 million for child care subsidies, $34 million for Success by 6 programs in 225 communities, and an additional $32 million over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces. NDP Leader Adrian Dix has promised to cancel the RESP and other new spending, and redirect it to a “family bonus program,” a direct subsidy of up to $70 a month, per child for low-income families
starting in 2014. The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families with income under $66,000. Applying to all children under 18, the bonus program is projected to cost $210 million a year. Platform highlights: • The BC Conservative preelection platform offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood education. Its September 2012 policy document

• listen to nurses and trust our judgement about what patients need

supports “the principle that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers.” BC Conservatives also support a school-voucher system, “ensuring that taxpayers’ dollars follow the student to provincially approved educational options,” and the principle that social services be “delivered by community-based organizations rather than directly by government.” • The Green Party of BC platform promises to create “local child care trusts” monitored by the provincial government. Promised services include “child care, in-home sup-
port, emergency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate housing.” The platform offers no costing estimate for any of its programs. • The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by licensed child care providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a provincewide child care registry. • The B.C. NDP would immediately double earnings exemption for employable income assistance recipients, and allow a further exemption for child maintenance payments.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix released the party’s full election platform April 24, detailing new spending that adds up to $988 million over the next three years. Bigger budgets are proposed for legal aid and crime prevention, a new ministry of women’s equality, $4 million to review oil pipeline projects the NDP opposes, and $10 million to hold an inquiry into the sale of BC Rail operations a decade ago. The new measures are on top of earlier NDP platform announcements to launch a $210 million-a-year child benefit for low-income families, boost seniors’ home care, add more teachers, raise welfare rates and index them to inflation. The minimum wage would also be linked to inflation and the lower wage for alcohol servers would be eliminated. The platform also promises to move the date of the 2017 B.C. election to the fall, which would extend an NDP government’s mandate to four and a half years if the party wins the May 14 election. Dix emphasized the NDP’s claim that the B.C. Liberal pre-election budget is not balanced as the government
states, but hides a deficit of nearly $800 million by underestimating program spending in the current year and overestimating money from selling government assets. “Our spending commitments are in balance with our revenue measures, so our platform will not add a penny to the B.C. Liberal deficit,” Dix said at a news conference in front of the B.C. legislature. The platform puts numbers on the NDP’s promise to divert some carbon tax revenues to transit and green projects around the province. That spending would start with $30 million this fiscal year, rising to $40 million next year and $50 million in year 3. The NDP platform proposes $2 million next year in new spending for legal aid through “community partnerships,” rising to $5 million the following year and $10 million in 2015/16. Crime prevention and restorative justice programs would get an extra $2 million each in the first year of an NDP government. Legal aid spending would increase $2 million this year, $5 million next year and $10 million in year three. The NDP budget totals include no new money for public service wage increases or capital projects beyond those that are already committed to.

Happy Mother’s Day, May 12th Honouring mothers on their special day Mom in any language is “love”
Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
Mother’s Day may be celebrated on different days and in different ways around the world, but the common thread is in honouring Mom and being thankful for all the things she does for her family. In Canada, this special day is observed on the second Sunday in May, with the giving of cards, gifts and flowers among common ways of showing love and appreciation for Mom. It’s regarded as the next big day after Christmas and Valentine’s Day, when phone lines record heavy traffic and greeting cards sell in huge numbers. In France, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the last Sunday in May, usually with a family dinner and a cake that resembles a bouquet of flowers. In the United Kingdom, tradition includes making a light fruitcake with layers of almond paste, called mothering cake, or simnel cake. The date of Mother’s Day in the U.K. changes all the time, as it’s acknowledged on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is the 40-day period from Ash Wednesday to Easter. Mexican children honour their mothers on May 10 and make themselves present in the house on the day before. Churches hold a special mass and traditional treats of tamales and atole are distributed to all local mothers for their early-morning meal. In Spain, Mother’s Day comes on Dec. 8 and includes religious celebrations across the country. In Argentina, it’s the third Sunday in October, and in most Arab countries, it’s March 21, the first day of spring.

Mom, Jody McIntosh, back right, looks forward to Mother’s Day with her five treasures from heaven – Vicki, left front, Twila, Jonathan and Lochlan, and in the back row, Carter, with their dad, Tom McIntosh.
June 1 is Mother’s and Children’s Day in Mongolia. Meanwhile, in the McIntosh house at Lake of the Trees, Mother’s Day is celebrated pretty much every day of the year. With five young children – all under the age of 11 – mom, Jody McIntosh, with the help of husband of 14 years, Tom McIntosh, is kept hopping, tending to their needs and always reaping the rewards of motherhood. Jody says the first words that come to mind when she thinks of her family life, are “busy” and “joyful.” “It’s never quiet. I call them my five treasures from heaven and I feel very blessed and thankful.” Jody and Tom were once told they would never be able to have children, and the news was difficult to accept. “Struggling with infer-
tility, there’s a lot of pain involved. You see how everyone else gets pregnant, and you ask, ‘Why can’t I’?” After enduring a long period of disappointment, the couple did something they never dreamed they would. They asked for prayers from elders of their church and that same month, Jody became pregnant, and stayed on a roll. Her first three children, Jonathan, now 10; Twila, 9; and Vicki, 7; were born within twoand-a-half years of each other, and tested Jody’s quickly developing mothering skills to the fullest. It’s all paying off now, because while the first couple of years were hectic and challenging with a trio of toddlers to tend, she now has three capable helpers who give her a hand with younger brothers – Lochlan, 5, and Carter, 2.
On top of everything else, Jody also homeschools her children. Tom is director of Lake of the Trees Bible Camp and the family makes the secluded camp their year-round home. Jody says homeschooling was something she normally would never have considered, but being so far off the beaten path, it made sense. Now, she considers it a blessing that fate
She deserves it.
brought her. “Home-schooling has made me a better mom. It’s made me sit down and read with my kids. “ She is thankful for the time she’s been required to invest in being with her children and focusing on them and their learning. “It’s hard as moms. We get busy and have all kinds of things to distract us from the treasures that are right in front of us. “I’m thankful I was put on the journey of homeschooling, even though I probably went in kicking and screaming. It’s been interesting, but also presents wonderful blessings and challenges.” When Mother’s Day comes around, she looks forward to a much deserved day off, when Tom puts on the “mommy hat,” and her children shower her with homemade cards that say why they love her so much. “Being a mom is the strangest combination of something you sacrificed so much for, but gives you so much joy. You always want a break, but then you just want to see your kids so badly again.” Everybody has their own special way of spending Mother’s Day, including three moms from the South Cariboo who have grown-up children.

Heat was on at Cariboo Spring Run
Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
The inaugural Cariboo Spring 10-Kilometre Run around 108 and Sepa lakes is going down in the books as a success, with 61 registrants and beautiful weather for the May 5 event. The race start and finish lines were at the 108 Heritage Site, and the event raised $1,300 for the proposed water park in Centennial Park in 100 Mile House. The first male to cross the finish line was Mark Doolan of 108 Mile Ranch (108), and the first female was Andrea
Flett, also of the 108. Flett finished the race just 20 seconds behind Doolan. In the men’s 10-19 years age category, Reid Collinson, 12, was the winner, crossing the line just one second in front of second-place finisher Ben Mowbray – both are from the South Cariboo. In the men’s 30- to 50-year category, Troy Monkman of 100 Mile House was the winner, followed by Bob Campbell of Williams Lake (WL), and Terry Crosby of Vancouver (Van). Doolan also won the men’s 50-plus division, followed by South Cariboo runners Ian
Hamilton and Ron Berry, 65, who was also the oldest male competitor. Women’s results in the 10-29 age division saw a sweep by South Cariboo runners with Ashley Granger first, Avery Collinson in second and Marcia Dixon placing third. Flett, 38, won the 30-39 age category with Tracey Morrison (Van) second, and Kathryn Garrick (108), third. In the 40-49 division, Shannon Pennicott was first to finish, followed by Shelly Harnden and Kathleen Hartard – all are from the South Cariboo.
Lesa Hamilton won the 50-plus division and Sue Glen, 61, was second and she was the oldest female competitor in the event. Susan Collins was third. All three runners are from the South Cariboo. Relay teams of two runners covered five kilometres each and the win went to Jordan Shields and Shian Remanente of 100 Mile. The second-place team from Prince George was Lisa Martin and Stephanie Martin. Third place went to Catrina Ertel and Sue Stoddart (WL). Event co-ordinator Kam Taylor says the five-km walk/
run was very popular, even though it did not offer medals for the fastest times. “People really enjoyed doing it because of the energy and support at the finish line.” Taylor notes the event will be held again next year and he’ll use what he learned this year to improve it. “We’ll start an hour earlier to beat the sun. We had many people who were new to keeping up a constant pace without breaks and weren’t prepared for the heat.” He says the goal for next year is to attract more than 100 competitors to the event.
Rugby Eagles make a splash in Williams Lake The 100 Mile Rugby Eagles boys and girls teams were in Williams Lake for games with Williams Lake Secondary School (WLSS), May 1. The Junior Boys played a fastmoving match of 15-aside, winning 34-25 against a talented WLSS team, which is regarded as one of the top in the zone. It was the first time this season the two teams had met, and Eagles coach Matt Leclerc is excited about the results. “It’s really great that we managed
to control the pace of the game. We were able to slow down the game and make some really good plays.” He commends his players Brice Comskey, Derek Popadinac and Ian Heales for their skill and hard work. “They made every pass and every hit and displayed amazing rugby. The entire back line did a fantastic job and everyone on the team was playing 110 per cent. This was a huge step in the right direction.” Leclerc says the score would have had a wider margin, but in the final
minute, his players ran out of steam and slacked off defensively. The girls’ squad was short of sufficient players to field a 15-aside team, so opted for two games of sevenaside. Both games resulted in losses for the Eagles, but Leclerc says the girls came away with a lot of positives. “They were making great plays and making hits. Williams Lake was just sucking them in defensively.” The Eagles will have a rematch with WLSS on home turf after school on the 100 Mile House Junior
Secondary field on May 16. The home team will be sporting new jerseys, which are the result of donations amounting to $1,500 that came from Andre’s Electronics, Safeway and Sunrise Ford. Leclerc notes that prior to the purchase, there weren’t enough of one colour of jersey to dress the entire team and there was always a mix of three or four different colours on the field at any one time. “Our nickname has been The Rainbow Team.”
BUCKING BRONCS The South Cariboo BCRA Rodeo takes place May 19-20 at the Outriders Arena, featuring two days of adrenaline-packed events. These include bull riding, bare back and saddle bronc. The shows start at 1 p.m., with the gates opening at noon both days. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and youth under 16 years, and children under six, free. The concession will be open.

Gates open at 8:30 a.m. and events start at 9. At noon, the Cariboo Cowgirls Drill Team from Williams Lake perform in the Grand Entry with a display of precision riding. Admission to the rodeo is $10 for adults, and $5 for seniors and students. Children six and under get in free. Admission includes access to the Ranch and Country Show.

Can’t find that perfect home to buy? The bathroom or kitchen needs updating in one home? The roof needs to be replaced in another? The flooring is outdated in the other?
All of these expenses can add up after you’ve moved in. Did you know you can get extra funds added to your initial mortgage during your purchase to pay for renovation costs?

The South Cariboo Female Hockey League capped off a successful season recently, with playoffs that saw the Grey Sharks win the league championship. A close second was the Red Dragons, and the Black Widows squad was third overall. It was the third season for the three-team league, which plays at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena in Lac la Hache. Spokesperson Kim Mills notes that while they’ve experienced some minor growing pains, each year gets better. “This year we had 37 women register, creating three fun teams, with ages ranging from 15 to 50-plus. We even get a handful of ladies travelling from Williams Lake.” Registration is from June 1 to the end of September and that is followed by a draft, which Mills says is a great way to keep the teams even, spreading beginners and seasoned players evenly among the teams.

No ice to break at the 108 Ladies Ice Breaker
Ken Alexander Free Press
The 108 Ladies Golf Club’s Ice Breaker Tournament at the 108 Golf Resort on May 5 attracted 28 golfers who played under the par points/Stableford format. The skies were bright and sunny as were the smiles on the faces of those who competed in the tourney last year in cold blustery conditions. When the last score card was handed in, the top 10 players were: Janet Roux, first; Rene Zelt, second; Linda Hames, third; Lori Henderson, fifth; Gloria Corno, fifth; Eileen King, sixth; Pauline Weigelt, sev-
enth; Marie Weeden, eighth; Carol Ohlund, ninth; and Char Wahnschaff, 10th. The long putt winner was Marian Lines Long drive winners: Roux, first flight; Ann Pinkney, second flight; and Gisela Neuber, third flight. Club changes Club vice-captain Maureen Pinkney says the Ladies Club is working hard to increase the number of women showing up for Ladies Day. The club is introducing a new novice flight, she adds. “This will be for ladies who don’t have a handicap, have not played much or are just beginning.”
They will have their own prizes in their flight just as the other flights do, Pinkney explains. “We really want to see more ladies out for Ladies Day and the course is in great shape.” Another change allows players to book their own tee times at the pro shop and play with the ladies they want to golf with, Pinkney notes. “Or you can just phone in and they will let you know when there is an open tee time or who you can join. This is very different than before, as last year, it was a random draw done by the club captain.” She adds it’s hoped more ladies will feel
comfortable playing with people they know rather than with a stranger. The main Ladies Day starts at 1 p.m., and the women golf 18 holes, with the first nine counting for Ladies Day event. This followed by dinner in the Tatton Room There is also a 10 a.m. start for those who cannot make the 1 p.m. tee time, and a business ladies group that goes out on the course at 5-5:30. “We certainly want to see more ladies join. We have weekly game prizes and weekly door prizes at the dinner. “It is a great time, great golf, and great socializing.”
Ladies’ and men’s clubs tee off at Marmot Ridge Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Nancy Wilson aligns her ball for a putt during opening night of the Marmot Ridge Ladies Golf Club season, May 1. The women golf weekly on Wednesdays.
The weather couldn’t have been better for 42 women golfers who blew the cobwebs off their clubs to play on the first Ladies’ Night of the season at Marmot Ridge Golf Course, May 1. Hardhats might have been a good idea as more than a few balls strayed from their intended course. No actual hits were recorded, though. Low score was won by Susan Kruse, and Chelsea McQueen turned in the high score. Long drives were shot by Diane Matlock and Rene Zest, while closest-to-the-pin (KP) bragging went to Donna White and Kruse. Long putt winners were Odets Guimond and Becky Lewis, and the Birdie Pot winner was White. The Ladies’ Club plays every Wednesday, and changed its dinner and prizes format this season, going from a weekly event to a monthly configuration, which will see dinner and prizes on the last Wednesday of each month at El Caballo restaurant. Marmot Ridge Men’s Night, had eight golfers come out for opening night on May 2. Men’s Club is every Thursday, and newcomers are welcome.

future as he grows as a player. “I think there is a good opportunity for the Wranglers organization to work with Derek during the upcoming year to assist with some of his development.” “Jordan Purcha is a 20-year-old forward who brought some physical play to the camp, which caught our attention. He finished his checks and was
not afraid to become involved in some of the rougher play. “We certainly liked what we saw out of Jordan and look for him to have a good Main Camp. I was impressed with the intensity and grit that Jordan plays with. “I expect all our players to play an intense game, and in my opinion, Jordan led the way in this area for the entire weekend.”

108 Mile Supermarket celebrates its fifth anniversary 108 Mile Ranch
Reg Berrington 250-791-9235
berringtonservices@shaw.ca
April 20 was a great day for the 108 Mile Supermarket, as owners Sally and Carl Gimse celebrated their store’s fifth anniversary. Many people were in attendance and the parking lot was full. Carl says 300 hamburgers and 100 hotdogs were given away. The cash register rang up 605 times and the event, including the cake cutting, exceeded all expectations. 108 Lions Club Remember to get your tickets for the First Annual Spaghetti Dinner, Dance and Silent Auction on May 11 at the 108 Mile Community Hall. Happy hour and early viewing of auction items starts at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:30 (bar service available). Dancing starts at 8 p.m., with the music provided by The Art of Noise, and the silent auction ends at 9. Tickets are $15 per person and can be obtained from Donex
Pharmacy and 108 Mile Supermarket. Get ready to join the 108 Lions for the Purina Walk for Dog Guides at the Main Beach at the 108 Lake on Sunday, May 26, starting at noon. For more information, please contact Pam Hales at 250-7915656. Solid Rock Café If you are into music, go to the Solid Rock Café on May 17 at 6 p.m. It is located in the Rock Youth Centre at 4930 Telqua Dr. (next to the Cariboo C hr ist i an L ife Fellowship Church). Special days Remember Mothers Day is on May 12 and Victoria Day is May 20. Love tennis It’s time to get fit again, as the nets at the tennis courts have been installed. The courts are located across from the airport mail boxes. At this time, the key to use the courts are at the office of the 108 Resort. Regular club times for mixed doubles are Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 7 p.m., and ladies day is Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon. Folks who are interested in having a men’s night should contact Norman Millar at 250-
A33
791-6361. Horse pastures There are two community horse pastures in the 108 Mile Ranch, which operate from the beginning of June to mid-October. Registration forms are available at the 108 Esso Station. Anyone who would like additional information can contact Ron Soeder at 250791-5752. Birding popular Bird watching in the 108 Mile Ranch has grown in leaps and bounds, and is possibly the biggest sport in our community. However, there are problems on the trails owing to the fact some people are allowing their dogs to disturb the birds at nesting time which is mainly from April 15 to July 15. People have even been seen going up to the nests and disturbing the birds. Folks, who are using the trails around Sepa and 108 lakes and Walker Valley, are asked to use caution when walking and keep their dogs on a leash. Birds have enough problems with natural predators, such as fox and coyotes. If we want to keep enjoying the wild birds around here, we need to leave the birds alone to nest and have young.
Thank You!
We, the people of the Eagle Creek Road Coalition, would like to thank Donna Barnett for helping us get Eagle Creek Road paved.
Good luck in the election on May 14! This advertisement is paid for by Armida Braendli

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!

Art show raising money for grannies group Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
Artist Kathy Crawshay of Horse Lake is happy to be the featured artist at Showcase Gallery throughout the month of May and she plans to use the opportunity to help others. Her show includes 15 joyful paintings of children at play in the outdoors and it’s hard to miss the price tag of $50 displayed on each one of them. One has already sold and she hopes each of the remaining ones sell, too. Crawshay says she plans to donate 100 per cent of the proceeds to the South Cariboo’s Gold Rush Grannies, whose members raise and donate money to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. That organization supports grandmothers in Africa who are caring for

children who have lost their parents due to the AIDS epidemic. Crawshay says painting is a hobby that gives her joy,
and she likes to donate pieces of her work to a different charitable organization each year. Her choice to support the Grannies was made in
November at last year’s 100 Mile & District Arts Council Winter Arts and Crafts Fair where she was inspired by what she saw going on at

scenes of children having fun biking, kayaking, snowboarding and doing the outdoors activities she loves to do as well. “I like to do people out having fun in the Cariboo, with lots of mountains and kids.” All of the paintings were done specifically for the show and Crawshay has been working on them since September. She says it was fun having a project like this to work on. Showcase Gallery is located in the main lobby of the Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. To purchase one of the paintings, contact Crawshay at 250-395-3725 or e-mail her at crawshay@ bcinternet.net.

The quilters are always giving their quilts away, and I thought it would be good for artists to give away their work.” Crawshay has been doing it on an annual basis for a number of years and says it makes her feel good. “And when people buy a painting, it should make them feel good, too.” All of her show paintings are 14 inches (36 centimetres) by 17 inches (42 cm), matted and framed, and Crawshay notes they would normally sell for $100 each.

Have a blast at 108 Lions dinner and dance
Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
The 108 Mile Lions Club is hosting its Spaghetti Dinner, Dance and Silent Auction at the 108 Community Hall on May 11. It promises to be a fun evening, beginning with happy hour at 5:30 p.m. At that time, people will also be able to start writing bids for several great silent auction items, which includes gift baskets and a four-person rubber raft. The spaghetti dinner features the Lions’ own special homemade sauce, which Lions president Pam Hales says is well-known. “We make it all the time and people love it.” Caesar salad and garlic bread round
out the meal, which will be served at 6:30 p.m. The Art of Noise DJ service will play tunes for the dance, which goes from 8 p.m. to midnight and for those who need a ride home, the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department will be providing that service. Tickets are $15 each, and can be purchased at Donex and 108 Mile Supermarket until 5:30 p.m., May 10. A limit of 100 tickets will be sold and the proceeds will be invested back into the community, Hales says, adding a portion is ear-marked for the proposed 108 Beach playground, providing it goes through. The Lions president says she is hoping for a good turnout. “I think this community needs a dance. They enjoy dancing.”

It’s not tough to have a lot of fun at Lake of the Trees Bible Camp, with a long list of activities that keeps growing, and a beautiful setting on the sandy shores of emerald-green Lake of the Trees. The camp is a 35-minute drive north east of 100 Mile House and has been in operation since 1960. Summer camps run from early July to late August and offer separate sessions for Squirts, aged six to nine years; Juniors, seven to 10 years; Preteens, 10-13 years; and Teens, 13-16 years. Days are actionpacked with so many choices of things to do. For those who like the water, there’s swimming in the warm, leech-free waters of the lake and a giant 40-metre long water slide that has a reputation for being fast and fun. Campers can jump from a floating tower onto the intenselypopular blob, which is a huge air-filled pillow that launches them into the air for a splash landing in the lake. “It’s as close to a rocket you’re going to get, with a lift-off and quick propulsion in the air,” says camp director Tom McIntosh. He adds his information comes from personal experience. Wake boarding, water skiing, tubing, kayaking and canoeing are a few of the other options available. There is a paintball course a safe distance
offered at nearby Spring Lake Ranch for an extra cost, and there’s also rocketry for the Juniors where they learn to build a model rocket, then launch it over the lake. The dining hall has a games room in the basement with foosball, air hockey, ping pong and pool. Campers can retreat in the afternoon during daily cabin time. It’s been recently renovated with new paint, trim and furniture. Campers can also chill out at the western theme, nine-hole mini golf course or go catchand-release fishing for coarse fish, which are abundant in the lake.

TV game shows, now is your chance, says Balbirnie. The Spring Fair is also offering a version of the Wheel of Fortune, Minute to Win It challenges, and the Plinko game from the Price Is Right. Along with carnival games, there are free activities planned, including three-legged races and sack races. There will be plenty of food with the Knights of Columbus cooking hotdogs and hamburgers, and there will be popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream treats, and a cupcake walk, Balbirnie adds. “If you don’t feel lucky with the carnival
games, get a jump start on adding colour to your garden with beautiful hanging baskets from the Lone Butte Gardens, or browse the tables set up by local vendors and artisans.”

Tree planting season underway

treasurer, secretary and baker, to name just a few of her volunteer roles. Both John and Elsie are well-known for their sincere dedication to their family and their friends. Several of their seven grandchildren would choose a visit with their grandparents at the lake as their preferred vacation, even into their young adult years. John and Elsie often go out of their way to greet new neighbours, which has contributed to the exceptionally close-knit community most of us enjoy. Since their new home is less than an hour away we expect the couple to return regularly for community events, particularly if there is a need for either Elsie’s famous coconut cake or John’s various homemade sausage delicacies. What will be a loss for our community will be a gain for the community of Barriere where they have already made lifelong friendships and volunteer their time at the local Legion fundraising meat draws. Goodbye and good luck dear friends. Beautiful birds Early on April 24, Wendy Marshall led a group of seasoned bird-
ing enthusiasts to a nearby lake in search of returning and migrating birds. The group recorded an abundance of sandhill cranes, harriers, mountain bluebirds and ruby crowned kinglets. At Lac des Roches, residents were excited to see the return of loon pairs and hummingbirds. The next outing is scheduled for May 13. Ice show Strong wind on April 27 started to break up the rotten ice on Lac des Roches but unlike Little Lac des Roches and nearby Bridge Lake, which were ice free in a few hours, the drop in temperature throughout the week slowed down the melt. Days of strong winds shifted ice sheets at the west end of the lake, dislodged snags and exposed docks, but each night, low temperatures refroze much of the open water each. Despite the minor damage to several docks and ramps, ice off was quite a spectacular week-long show. Forest renewal Tents and tarps in the lakeside camping area at Lac des Roches Resort are evidence that the tree planting season is underway. The crew will spend about one month plant-
ing pine seedlings in the harvested forest near North Bonaparte Road and Horse Lake Road. Waiting and hoping Saskatoon bushes to the south of us may be in full bloom, but there is evidence of new buds appearing locally. Residents are anxious to see how well these popular berry bushes produce after the severe
damage they received last summer from a pair of marauding black bears. Wonderful wildlife White-tail and mule deer, as well as moose, are frequenting the fields. Not-so-popular ground squirrels are back although the numbers may be down due to last year’s badgers voracious appetites. Otters were sighted
poking their heads through the rotten ice last week. There have been no reports of bear yet, but they have been spotted at nearby Bridge Lake.

Can I paint now?
As the springtime weather shifts from messy to mild, every homeowner’s attention turns to the out of doors. It’s time to clean things up, tend to the garden, and make needed repairs to both the home and its surroundings. Where to start? Assuming that your exterior paint is failing, it’s best to focus on that first, according to experts. Don’t postpone repainting as exposed wood rots, and other types of exteriors also suffer when the paint wears off. Wait too long and you may have to make repairs before starting to paint. It’s always best to do exterior painting when the temperature is above 10 degrees C, but not too hot Spring is a very comfortable time to do outdoor painting. It’s smart to paint before putting down mulch, which along with your plants, will just get trampled if you paint later on. Why not get your painting done before ‘distractions’ like gardening, sports, and barbecues begin?

Deka firefighter wins ice-out raffle DEKA DISTRICT Diana Forster 250 593-2155
Four days earlier than last year, the ice left Deka Lake on April 26 at 1.38.20 p.m. The win in the Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) ice-out raffle went to local firefighter Dave McCaw, with a guess of 1:37:05. Dave also won in 2008, when the ice went out at its latest ever – May 14. Second place went to Pirkko Perttola at 1:30:10, and third place went to Scott Robinson of Winfield, whose guess 1:07:23. The DLDVFD thanks Ruth Allan for scrutinizing the hundreds of tickets to establish the winners, and to all those who supported their annual raffle. Volunteers needed Mountain Spruce Community Centre Society (MSCCS), at the intersection of Mahood Lake and Burgess roads, lays dormant over the winter, but is now gearing up to complete the trail along the lake, so the viewing platform is accessible to everyone. The society would welcome new members, and volunteers, especially the younger, stronger male version. Membership costs $5 a year, and if folks send $10 or more, they will receive tax deductible receipts. Society secretary Penny Millway (250593-4215) voiced sincere thanks to DLDVFD Ladies
Auxiliary for its January donation of $428 – proceeds of the L.A.’s Christmas party. Residents who donate their recyclables to the collection bin at the park are also much appreciated, as is Interior Roads for keeping access to the bin clear of snow. Membership fees should be mailed to MSCCS, 6335 Mahood Lake Rd., Lone Butte, B.C., V0K 1X3. Fishing regulations Local fishers need to know changes to British Columbia Freshwater Fishing regulations include a limit of one lake trout per day out of Sulphurous Lake. Deka Lake’s limit, like most of Region 5 Cariboo, remains at three per day. Meeting rescheduled Unfortunately, the Dann’s May 4 information meeting was cancelled too late for the writer’s May 1 column, but has been rescheduled for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., June 1 at Interlakes Hall. This is in relation to their potential Webb Lake development. Celebrations Birthday bubbly goes to Jessica Scherrer; and double balloons to Danielle Brassington who reaches double
digits on May 10 – 10 on the 10th, a very special day. Calendar Call the writer for contact numbers. • Crib, Deka Fire Hall, 7:30 p.m., May 10. • Highway 24/ Interlakes Mother’s Day
pancake breakfast, 8:30 to 11 a.m., May 12 at Interlakes Hall. Large breakfasts cost $6 plus coffee; half breakfasts are $4 plus coffee, and all mothers eat for free. • Log Cabin Quitters meet 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., May 15 at Interlakes Hall.
