Age-friendly community café energizing, creative Ken Alexander Free Press

The May 8 community café at the Valley Room attracted a large cross-generation crowd of folks who wanted to talk about what should be done, and seniors can do, to make their lifestyles better in the South Cariboo. Lea Smirfitt, executive director of the South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC), which co-hosted the local event with the District of 100 Mile House, says she was extremely pleased

the café attracted around 50 people, covering the spectrum of age groups. People were very pleased to have been invited to the meeting and they enjoyed the café style, Smirfitt says, adding there was some really good conversations LEA and some great information SMIRFITT that came out of it. “We were talking about communication; relationships with seniors in the

community and across the ages; how to keep active; and what some of the solutions are to the challenges we often see in rural areas. Regarding the challenges, she says transportation issues came up at every table. The conversations were not only about public transportation, Smirfitt adds the discussion about solutions suggested neighbours could help neighbours or community volunteers could drive folks who need a ride into town.

Fishing error The 2013-15 B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis is incorrect as circulated for two lakes in the Cariboo Region. Fawn Lake restrictions with ice fishing closures, a bait ban and single barbless hooks were incorrect. The correct regulation is a daily trout quota of two and electric motors only. Big Lake (near Likely) was omitted in error, because of confusion of three lakes with the same name. The correct regulation is a daily trout quota of one, and catch-andrelease Oct. 1-Nov. 30.

Ranchers rail at CN managers Rights-of-way cited in fencing concerns carole rooney Free Press

Representatives of Canadian National Railways (CN) got an earful from local ranchers who turned out to a May 2 meeting to talk about fencing problems. It is a crucial issue for both the producers and the railways, the ranchers said, as broken fences allow livestock on the tracks, leading to animal losses and schedule delays. Hosted by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, guests from CN included assistant superintendent Mike Peterson, track supervisor Wade Thompkins and regional manager of public affairs Emily Hamer. After Peterson gave a presentation, the tension in the room was palpable as the ranchers warmed up to their cause, but respectfully. Lac la Hache Livestock Association (LLHLA) president Marvin Monical said it was in CN’s best interest to prevent train-cattle incidents. “Our biggest concern is the fencing and we’ve had quite a number of incidents, of cattle-train colli-

sions. And, from your presentation, three years ... and we’re not going to I feel that down time is very bad for let the producers down.

said she was “really grateful” to hear a positive attitude from the railway representatives. “This is the most positive I’ve ever heard anything from CN.” She noted a list of contacts for seven area ranchers near rail mileage markers from 100 Mile House to 140 Mile House was provided to CN many years ago. “We can’t go another season and be ignored and not be called when our cattle are hit on the railway tracks.” She asked for business cards from the railway representatives, so ranchers could call them directly when there are issues. She noted that when ranchers go onto rail rightsof-way to fix the broken fences the “CN cops” kick them off and threaten them with fines. “So, there is no way we can protect our cattle at all; you are leaving us with no alternatives.” Hamer said there is a group at CN responsible for working out those issues with cattlemen.

Audits approve regional district accounting

Fiscal management practices sound, planning appropriate Carole Rooney Free Press

All three local regional district entities successfully passed annual audits with flying colours recently. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD), Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) and Cariboo Hospital Regional District (CRHD) all received stellar reports on their 2012 audited financial statements. PMT Chartered Accountants auditor Kane Fraser made comments to clarify his meaning, but the boards’ chairs indicate that didn’t detract from the positive results. CRD chair Al Richmond says the

board is pleased with the audits. “They were clean audits that showed we are paying down the debt, with the benefit to the taxpayers, and we’re putting reserves aside for future capital requirements. “The audit gives us comfort ... the auditor saw we were positioning ourselves with reserves to be able to move forward with other capital projects.” The CRD year-end surplus was approximately $81.5 million, with cash investments of $31 million and net financial assets of about $20 million. Richmond notes some of the surplus is used to operate services until the property taxa-

Chicken pox crops up in 100 Mile House 100 Mile House Elementary School principal Donna Rodger is cautioning parents that there has been a reported case of chicken pox at the school. Chicken pox (varicella) is a common illness that causes an itchy rash and red spots or blisters (pox) all over the body. It usually takes two to three weeks for a person to get sick after exposure to the virus, so folks will have to watch for signs of the illness. Symptoms may include fever, aches, tiredness, headache and loss of appetite, followed by a rash a few days later. Red spots appear first on the face and scalp, and then spread quickly to the arms and legs. Chicken pox is contagious up to five days before and five days after the rash appears. While it usually isn’t a serious health problem in healthy children, a child with chicken pox needs to stay home, and

often needs an adult to stay home and care for them. Typically a mild illness in children, an infection can be more serious for pregnant women, newborn babies, teenagers, adults and people with weakened immune systems. Those in higher risk groups who have not been vaccinated or have not had chicken pox should see a health-care provider immediately if they are exposed to, or get, chicken pox. The chicken pox vaccine provides protection against the illness, but must be started as soon as possible. After you have had chicken pox, you are not likely to get it again, although the virus can become active again later in life and cause a painful blistering rash called shingles.

tion money tops up the coffers in July.

“

Our goal has always been to not to have to raise taxes to do a job.” – Al Richmond

The money banked in reserves is earmarked for capital expenditures on current systems for repairs, upgrades and replacements as they arise, he adds, so there is money in the bank for partnering with government grants. “Our goal has always been to not to have to raise taxes to do a job.” The next project, a manganese treatment plant for the 108 Mile Ranch water system, will use reserves and grants, Richmond explains. The system recently obtained two new water towers with federal-provincial infrastructure funds covering two-thirds of the cost. “I think what the auditor was saying is ‘you’ve got reserves, you are showing yourselves

to be in a relatively healthy position, and you’ve reduced your debt position by nearly $3 million in 2012’.” CCRHD/CRHD chair John Massier says the clean audits give the hospital board confidence to move forward with projects. “I think it shows the hospital district is in a financially stable position ... due to policies put in by the board long before I came on [in January 2012], to start accruing money for projects that we knew were down the road.” The CCRHD yearend surplus was about $22.1 million, with cash investments at $23.7 million. “The next major capital expansion I see is for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital [in Williams Lake]. “It’s totally dependent on the provincial government, but just the difference between last year’s position and this year’s shows that we’re that much closer to having our share up front and ready to go.” The total project cost isn’t known, but Massier

says the CCRHD now has enough money to begin some of the upfront hospital expansion processes. Meanwhile, people in the South Cariboo can expect some upgrades at the 100 Mile District General Hospital. “They came to us with a $400,000 total project value to renovate the 100 Mile House washrooms as a capital project, and that is something that has been, I think, long needed there.” This will improve the washrooms’ wheelchair accessibility and bring them up to a more modern standard, he explains. He adds the external audit results give a good sense that regional tax money is being “well spent.” “It should give [residents] confidence in the financial stability of the hospital district and in the work our chief financial officer [Scott Reid] is doing to have the books in order.” Massier notes the older CRHD entity will terminate when its debt is paid off in 2018.

and socializing and how that might be accomplished. People really value the health care in the South Cariboo and they discussed how we can maintain some of those pieces, she explained. “Out of those conversations, there was a lot of information sharing about what works for them and some ideas on how we might build on that information.” Now, the SCCPC and its research consortium will take the information from the café and develop an action plan and take all of the information to the District. “Then we’re going to be working towards getting age-friendly community designation.” Noting communication is a key aspect of the age-friendly development, Smirfitt suggests that through the focus group meetings the research consortium conducted, the surveys that were distributed and collected, and the café, they have reached 500 people. She adds they know there are people within that number who would be able to fan out information to other groups of seniors. “Lastly, we asked peo-

ple to suggest names of people to be community leaders - perhaps a half dozen - who could lead that age-friendly advisory process on an ongoing basis.” District liaison Coun. Ralph Fossum says the café more than met his expectations. “When you get a group of people, you get some energy moving in the room and that room was energized. When that happens, not only does it build momentum, it also makes for new creative thinking. And that happened.”

Fossum says he identified the next steps: • Communication has to be worked on because people want to know what’s going on. Noting e-mail was popular with those at the café, and while there is a certain percentage of people who would never use e-mail, he figures 70 per cent of seniors are reachable by e-mail. Fossum adds wordof-mouth is still big in the Cariboo, and telephoning friends is still important. “Someone

even volunteered to be a one-person telephone committee.” • The next step, he explains, would be the forming of an age-friendly advisory council to help navigate the process through to the next steps. • We have to “meet more often somehow somewhere.” He suggests that would be up to the advisory council to determine how often and take a variety of forms - community cafés, drop-ins with speakers or whatever

they decide. • Working with the 100 Mile House Free Press to help disseminate information. • There is a need to build on the momentum. • They need to encourage the District to apply for a new grant, and at the same time, officially become an age-friendly community. There is some homework that needs to be done and the District needs to look at upgrading some of its own buildings for

She added what Wood described is “not right,” so she wants to work together to ensure “all the right people” are involved. Peterson said he is committed to working with the ranchers to try to resolve these fencing issues. “I would hope that in the past, you haven’t had a sense of avoidance from the railway. If you have, that’s not what I’ll do.” Noting he is new to his role, Peterson explained it is not something he

is “well versed” in, but pledged to gain a better understanding of the problem, so he could “push that forward to those who might be able to” fix the fences. “As far as making the final decision to say yes we’ll fix all your fences, I can’t make that decision.” Said Fisher: “I find it interesting that 17 per cent of your revenue comes from fertilizer, and that is a pretty huge commodity from the agricultural industry, so, you know, we need to work together.” Peterson said he agreed with that “totally.”

Ferry navigator convicted of criminal negligence The trial of the navigating officer of the BC Ferries ship that ran aground and sank in March 2006 concluded May 13 when he was convicted of criminal negligence causing death. After hearing nearly four months of testimony, the jury came back with a guilty plea against Karl Lilgert, who pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing the death of 108 Mile Ranch couple Gerald Foisy and Shirley Rosette. Lilgert was the only person charged in the sinking; however, the vessel’s captain and some crew members lost their jobs. The Queen of the North struck Gil Island on March 22, 2006 and sank in 400 metres of water about 140 kilometres south of Prince Rupert. Of the 101 passengers and crew aboard, Foisy and Rosette were the only people who didn’t survive, and are believed to have gone down with the ship.

South Cariboo lake aerators funded The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) has announced it will provide more than $6 million in grants this year to protect British Columbia’s fish, wildlife and habitats. The foundation presented its list of 2013/14 grant recipients on April 26 during the BC Wildlife Federation’s annual convention. This year, the non-profit organization has com-

mitted to funding 139 projects, led by some of the province’s top fish and wildlife experts. The South Cariboo has received some funding this year, as part of the more than $700,000 that has been committed to projects increasing angling opportunities, including the Learn to Fish program, lake aerator installation and dock placement. This includes fund-

ing to ensure continued functionality of fisheries habitat enhancements by maintaining lake aeration systems on Higgins, Irish and Simon lakes. Funding available through HCTF is unique in that its primary source is the sale of fishing, hunting, guiding and trapping licences, rather than solicited donations. Since its beginnings in the early ’80s, HCTF has contributed more than

GUEST SHOT

y all accounts, the May 8 community café to discuss the best way to make 100 Mile House an age-friendly community for our seniors was a smashing success. The gathering attracted about 50 people from all generational groups, and there were some wonderful exchanges of information and a sharing of solutions to issues everyone encounters. This discussion has been a long time coming, and acknowledging and working with our seniors has been the missing piece in the socioeconomic fabric of the South Cariboo. We have every generation pretty much covered with programs and opportunities in our communities, but it appears the fifty-plus group has been passed by without much contact. We have to thank District of 100 Mile House Councillor Ralph Fossum who learned about the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grants at last year’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference and immediately realized this would be a good fit for 100 Mile and the surrounding area. He recognized the need in our community – and not just our seniors community – because more and more people are retiring to the South Cariboo, and 100 Mile House is their service centre. District council was already looking at making 100 Mile House more accessible, and quickly formed a partnership with the South Cariboo Community Planning Council to apply for a planning grant. They wanted to gather input from seniors about what it would take to make their lifestyles better. This information was collected through focus group sessions where seniors gathered, surveys that were left at, and collected from, high traffic areas, and the recent community café. So where do we go from here? As a community, we have to break down our stereotypical thoughts about seniors. We are not the seniors our parents and grandparents were. We are active seniors who range in age from 50plus to 80-plus – we may be hobbled a bit but we’re definitely not rocking chair bound. We have worked and played hard, but we have, for the most part, taken care of ourselves. Most of us are fun-loving and we want to be included in general community activities and “hang with the younger folks” if they will include us. The next thing we have to do as seniors is learn to communicate amongst ourselves and the other generations. We need to find seniors who will lead seniors in the next stages of our lives.

high hospitalization, treatment and drug costs as the Harper government neglects its international and national obligations of assisting all refugees. Since 2003, Newfoundland and Labrador has made some modest improvements in the Newfoundland and Labrador Prescription Drug Program (NLPDP), in the Access Plan, the Assurance Plan, and Select Needs Plan, but some people, who have no drug coverage, end up slipping through the cracks of our provincial social safety net. According to federal NDP health critic, Libby Davies: “The federal government must work with the provinces to create healthcare reforms that ensure that Canadians continue to receive quality health care, and that this standard of care is guaranteed across this country. Canadians deserve equal access to affordable medications.…” Edward Sawdon is a Pharmacare advocate.

Opinion

Grits: Tory householder not credible To the editor: I have just received Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s householder, highlighting the great benefits of “Economic Action Plan 2013.” I might find it more credible if the Conservatives could account for the $3.1 billion unaccounted for up to 2009. We can’t know how much has gone missing since then, because in 2010, the

Treasury Board (which is headed by Tony Clement whom, as we all recall, spent $55 million on outdoor bathroom facilities and gazebos in his own riding from funds allocated to border security) approved the Terrorism Secretariat’s request to end the government-wide reporting requirements on its spending. It would be more credible if the Conservatives would collect the $29

billion in income taxes owed. It would certainly be more credible if the $2.4 billion paid for outside consultants hired by the federal government came with an explanation for the work done. Despite Treasury Board guidelines requiring it, Mr. Clement refuses to give that explanation. It might be more credible if the guidelines issued by the Treasury Board that state govern-

Field: meters perfect; errors human

To the editor: Anyone who claims their hydro bill jumped drastically once a smart meter was installed needs to consider the following: BC Hydro smart meters are still being read manually for billing purposes. Manual meter reading will continue until the entire smart-meter network and backend computer systems are in place later this year. Yes, installed smart meters are transmitting data, but that data is not yet being used for billing purposes. And, yes, one of the one million installed smart meters was found to be not working correctly. On the scale of one million units, that should not be a surprise. Once the entire smart grid sys-

tem is up and running, a defective meter or system component would be detected instantly. If people are looking for an answer to a sudden, drastic increase in their hydro bill they should really be looking to human error rather than to technology change as the cause. So far, all but one instance has, in fact, boiled down to human error. However, people should never hesitate to contact BC Hydro if they believe there is a problem with their billing. BC Hydro replies to all enquiries and refunds customers if a mistake is found – just as one would expect from our public utility. David Field, co-spokesperson B.C. Citizens for Green Energy

ment ads are supposed to inform citizens about programs and services were followed. Unfortunately, the $113 million of taxpayers’ money Harper has spent on ads since 2009 don’t generally do that. The ads currently being run during the NHL playoffs contain no new initiatives or measures.

I realize Mrs. McLeod is simply parroting Harper talking points, but her householder has to be suspect, because how would we know the truth? When $3.1 billion dollars can “go missing” with no documentation available to the Auditor General, when the government won’t explain

about billions paid to outside consultants, when millions are spent on television ads that say nothing, how can we possibly believe what we are told? I’ll bet Mrs. McLeod wishes the $13-billion surplus her government inherited in 2006, and frittered away on swimming pools and

curling rinks (before the recession hit) was still around. Then her government and her householder might have some credibility.

To the editor: For more than 40 years, I was a health science professional at Cariboo Memorial Hospital [in Williams Lake]. I have ample knowledge about our health-care system on both on professional and personal levels. Since retiring, I spend the winters in Arizona. I find my American friends always have a lot of questions about our Medicare system. They envy us. We do not have huge deductibles or policy limits. We are never excluded due to pre-existing conditions. We all have health care, not just those who are lucky

enough to be able to afford coverage. Our system costs 50 per cent less than their system and our outcomes are better. Our public healthcare system has been under attack, however. Promoters of for-profit health care are on the offensive. After a decade of deep cuts and increasing privatization, British Columbia cannot afford to continue down the path to for-profit health care where care is available only to those who can afford it. Our universal health-care system was instituted in 1962 by the NDP’s Tommy Douglas. In 2004, he was voted,

by a CBC poll, to be Canada’s greatest Canadian. Are there challenges to the system? Absolutely, there are challenges, but there is also a wealth of evidence-based public innovations that are addressing those challenges. All we need is the

leadership from a pro-public healthcare government to scale those innovations up and make improvements where needed. It is not in our best interests to continue the move towards an American-style system.”

BC VIEWS

nother election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40-billion corporation called the British Columbia government. Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score? Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be

Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media is steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com, tfletcher@blackpress.ca

the province Man shot in leg; police seek attackers KAMLOOPS — A 48-year-old man is recovering in Royal Inland Hospital after being shot in the leg on Saturday night (May 11). Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Dave Prentice said Mounties were initially responding to a 10:30 p.m. call that a man had been shot in the face. When officers arrived at the Fairview Avenue home on the North Shore, they learned the man had been shot in the leg. His injuries are non-life-threatening. Police say the shooting was a targeted attack and investigators are seeking two men who managed to escape after the attack. There were a number of people in the home at the time of the shooting, but they are being lessthan-co-operative with police.

Hallucinating cocaine user calls police NELSON - A man, high on cocaine, called Nelson Police Department early morning of May 10 claiming he was being chased though Lakeside Park by a man with a gun. Officers found that heavily intoxicated 29-yearold at the soccer fields. He told police he had injected the illicit drug shortly before contacting them about his hallucination. During the course of the conversation the man attempted to reach into his jacket pocket for a utility knife he was carrying with the blade extended. But an officer took the knife away before the man could reach it. The officer suffered a minor cut on his hand in the process. Police took the man into custody and transported him back to the department to sober up. They also removed the man’s drug paraphernalia, including a bloody syringe, from the soccer field. Anxiety and paranoia, as well as hallucinations, are common effects of cocaine intoxication.

Fail breath test On May 12 at 2:20 p.m., an off duty 100 Mile House RCMP member notified the 100 Mile House RCMP that he observed a female drinking liquor inside her vehicle in a local parking lot. Upon attendance by uniformed members, the vehicle began to drive off and was stopped.

House Free Press, which she notes might prompt folks to recall something they noticed. Blannin notes that using CrimeStoppers ensures anyone calling in will never be identified, even to police. Instead, tipsters are assigned a unique number to reference when calling back or collecting a reward, Blannin explains, and they are known only by that ID number in relation to their tip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are interested in a reward, they are given a phone contact to call and state their number that they were given originally.â&#x20AC;? Then they can ask if the tip was successful, if it has been resolved and if a reward is forthcoming, she says, in which case they will be given

instructions for how to use their ID number to pick up the cash reward anonymously. This can take some time to process, but Blannin notes it is completely up to the tipster to call again in order to retain full anonymity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are paid in cash. We have a certain set up where they use a pseudo name and they are told when and how to get their money.â&#x20AC;? She adds roughly half of these callers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in a reward, or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow up to seek this compensation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, many people who call in with tips just want to get the information out.â&#x20AC;? Blannin says the local CrimeStoppers team of 10 volunteers is about the same size today as it was back in 1996 when she was recruited for the

initial group, but the volume of calls has gone up significantly and the program is successful. Many calls are in relation to drug grow operations or theft, she notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is watching something going on in their neighbourhood or next door that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem quite right, they should contact CrimeStoppers.â&#x20AC;?

South Cariboo recreation talks wrap up Carole Rooney Free Press

The last of four public meetings to discuss potential changes to South Cariboo recreation services and taxation was held at Creekside Seniors Activity Centre recently, with about two dozen people in attendance. Hosted by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the goal of the open houses was to hear what taxpayers think about expanding the recreation function, primarily to add Martin Exeter Hall complex and the soccer fields in 100 Mile House under this funding umbrella. Affected property owners already pay for other recreation facilities and services in the South Cariboo, but District of 100 Mile House taxpayers currently foot the entire bill for the hall and soccer fields. Mayor Mitch Campsall says the turnout was “pretty good” based on past public meetings, although he’d always like to see more folks provide input prior to drawing up a referendum, which will be likely be held in September. “Getting people out isn’t the easiest thing to do, even on important issues.” However, Campsall notes that while concerns and questions

were raised, no one indicated they were opposed to the proposal once these were addressed. “It was mostly positive. Actually, through the whole [series], there wasn’t really anybody absolutely against it.” He estimates about 90 per cent of the people in all four meetings, which also included Lone Butte, Forest Grove and 108 Mile Ranch, showed overall support for the plan. Costs and taxation were the main concern, Campsall explains, but most area residents within the recreation boundary, who turned out for the meetings, didn’t have a problem with the proposed increase ($20 per $100,000 of residential assessment).

“The idea was, it isn’t much and we do need to keep these facilities in our community. Some of the comments we got back were that it isn’t a lot of money to maintain this infrastructure. “There are always questions, always concerns and, hopefully, that will never change because ... at least then you are getting the feedback, and you need feedback.” Now, the South Cariboo Joint Committee will take a look at all the comments received before the referendum question is drafted. “We heard how important these facilities are to our community and how lucky we are to have these facilities of this standard in our

Greg Aiken: Relay site co-ordinator

By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle As a committee member for six years and member of the 100 Mile Old Stars hockey team, which has entered a team with the Relay for Life for the past 18 years, Greg Aiken could be considered a true vet-

eran of the event. Even with nearly two decades under his belt, though, his enthusiasm for the cause hasn’t wavered a bit. “I’ve lost my mom, grandparents, uncles and friends to cancer,” explains Aiken. “When I was asked six

years ago if I’d be interested in being the site co-ordinator, I said ‘yes’.” Joining the committee was a way for him to give back and help find a cure, Aiken explains. As with other committee members, Aiken says is really impressed with the enthusiasm for

Greenbelt grant sought The Cariboo Regional District board has endorsed a 108 Greenbelt Commission recommendation for applications to be submitted to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI) to undertake fuel reduction treatments. It will request grants for wildfire fuel management on approximately 10 hectares of land in greenbelt Units H and S, and to develop a prescription for fuel treatment along the Walker Valley. The recommendation was based on a presentation by Ken Day, from the University of British Columbia’s Alex Fraser Research Forest, regarding fuel management work in the Greenbelt. The SWPI grant program supports communities to mitigate risk from wildfire in the wild land urban interface. In his presentation to the commission, Day indicated approximately $9,000 of matching funding will be required from the 108 Greenbelt function budget allocated in the CRD 2013 Financial Plan.

park. The one-kilometre route has been the same for years, but this year it will also incorporate the bridges. Being a part of the Relay for Life means a lot to him. “My mom was a huge influence on me. This is a way for me to honour her, and give back to the community.” Traditional

Former NASA scientist cooks up impressive menu

The camp is open to children from all backgrounds, and they come from all over British Columbia and Alberta, with the majority from the South Cariboo. Camp life is busy and Christian-centred, with reference to the Bible lightly interspersed

throughout each day. Campers gather daily at the chapel and nightly at the campfire to sing Bible songs and learn more about the scriptures. Another big part of camp life is enjoying meals together in the dining hall. While cooking may not be thought of as rocket science, at Lake

of the Trees, it certainly is. Food services manager, Roger Elyea, is a former NASA scientist who worked on rocket re-entry for the first 12 Apollo missions. He is also McIntosh’s father-in-law and Elyea slowly got drawn into the camp kitchen on the merit of the great home-cooking he enjoyed doing

for his family. “It’s really good food, and food is to camp, like water is to a lake,” says McIntosh. At Lake of the Trees, Elyea not only serves delicious meals, such a homemade lasagna and sticky buns, but he is also popular with all of the campers for his interesting background and stories.

The camp averages between 50 and 60 campers per session and they are housed in seven cabins. There are also two additional cabins for work crews and four staff cabins. Camp work crews and teen leaders are volunteers, which helps keep costs affordable for campers.

People who donate money for camp sponsorship are also an integral part of the system, as they provide a camping experience for a child who might otherwise not be able to attend, McIntosh explains. “They sponsor kids for camp, so we don’t have to say, ‘no’. ” McIntosh notes there

are early bird savings for folks who register before May 31. For more information about the camp, or to register, visit its website at www.lakeofthetrees. com. Lake of the Trees is one of 43 Bible camps across Canada, owned and operated by the Canadian Sunday School Mission.

you plant anything. Decorating your landscape with the prettiest plant is not always the most practical or ecofriendly decision. Choose droughtresistant plants that will thrive in your local climate. Certain grasses, for instance,

are best suited for certain climates. When planting, make use of shaded areas around your property so plants won’t need more water to make it through the warmer months of the year. • Maintain a healthy soil. Healthy soil allows water to penetrate effectively, promoting strong roots and ensuring plants get all they need to thrive. Aerate your lawn, including areas around trees, once a year and cultivate the soil before planting. Add compost or fertilize the soil, which increases moisture retention and reduces the need to water. • Be timely when planting. Spring or fall is typically the ideal time to plant. Planting

in the summer when temperatures are generally at their warmest makes it more difﬁcult for plants to establish themselves without extra watering. • Plant shade trees. Shade trees are trees that, when full grown, shade the yard and plants from the sun. This lowers the air and soil temperatures and reduces moisture loss. • Don’t procrastinate with regard to lawn care. It’s easy to put off lawn maintenance, particularly when temperatures can be especially hot. However, it won’t take long for a blazing sun to damage your lawn. A well-maintained lawn won’t need as much water to stay healthy.

A group of tree planters have set up their

tents at the 70 Mile Motel. The first few days were cold with snow on the ground and they were not able to work, but the warm weather arrived suddenly and they are now out doing their job. Roadside cleanup A cleanup of the roadside was held April

20, but the morning was cool with a layer of snow on the ground, so the turnout was smaller than usual. However, those who were there picked up garbage in front of the post office, general store and motel. They were then treated to a lunch at the pub, and the store provided coffee to keep the work-

ers warm.

Memorial service There will be a memorial service for Al Nowick at the 70 Mile Community Hall on June 1, starting at 2 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. Bingo slated The last bingo of the season will be held at

the Seventy Mile Access Centre on May 23. Doors open at 6 p.m. and play starts at 7, and then the volunteers will then take the summer off. Bingo will return in September.

Exterior latex paint forms the most durable, protective finish when the weather is mild. Very hot days can cause the paint to dry too quickly and impair good paint film formation. By painting in moderate weather, you’ll likely get a longer-lasting paint job. If a day starts off mild, but turns very hot, try to avoid painting in direct sunshine, since sunlit surfaces can be 10 to 20 degrees hotter than the air temperature. Work your way around the house so that you are always painting in the shade. As a bonus, you’ll be more comfortable! Also pick a day that isn’t too windy. Like the heat of the sun, wind can cause latex paint to dry too quickly and prevent optimal paint film formation. Plus, wind can stir up dust and other contaminants that can imbed in the paint to create an inviting surface for mildew, which feeds on such matter. You should also try to steer clear of “weather events” that could affect the paint, waiting for another day if it has rained within the last 24 hours, or postponing the job if several days of rain are expected right after you finish painting.

All Cariboo Fire Centre blazes human caused

As of May 13, there have been 44 fires in the Cariboo, covering 1,051 hectares. Cariboo Fire Centre information officer Greig Bethel says all have been human caused. At this time of year, the biggest problem arises from folks burning grass and brush, even though there is an open burning ban throughout the entire Cariboo Fire Centre region. Anyone caught burning illegally can face a fine of $345, and if it’s

proven it caused a forest fire, that person could also be made to pay for the costs of fighting the fire. Of the 44 fires to date, there have been four spot fires of less than a hectare in the South Cariboo – Watch Lake, Canoe Creek Reserve, Windy Mountain and Canim Lake. Currently, the fire danger rating is at low to moderate range, and people can get more information at www. BCWildFire.ca.

Eclectica Community Choir ends choral season on a high note

By Dennis Tupman A very “warm” and appreciative audience gathered on a hot spring night and responded enthusiastically to the Eclectica Community Choir benefit concert on May 11 in Martin Exeter Hall. Including folk songs and spirituals and following a theme of “River Songs,” the choir sang such favourites as Song of the Mira, You Make Me Feel So Young, and a new Canadian composition, called I Dreamed of Rain, by British Columbia composer Larry Nickel. Nickel also wrote the concluding number, Royal Hudson, after the now famous train that still runs from North Vancouver to Whistler. Watching the Apples Grow, a rollicking arrangement featured the acrobatic accompaniments by pianist Donna Forward and fiddler Curtis Wolfe who also sings in the choir. Two spirituals, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s my Brother, featuring a hauntingly beautiful harmonica solo by Anthony Lau, and Keep Your lamps Trimmed and Burning rounded out the choral program. Soloists Barb Hooper and Lothar Haegele, from within the choir, respectively contributed spirited renditions of the Italian favourite, O Sole Mio, and the German operetta Dein Ist Mein Ganzes Herz. Young local emerging concert organ artist Daven Mapson, on the mighty Exeter electronic organ, impressed the audience with the well-known Toccata in D Minor, by J.S. Bach. It’s often used for spooky effect in horror movies.

Anthony Lau

Barb Hooper

Daven’s mother, Ingrid Mapson, who in her own right, is establishing her diverse singing career in other centres, also rendered the beautiful aria, Ombra mai fu, by G.F Handel. Choir director Jasmine Kreschuk also displayed her talent on piano with the impressively romantic Piano Sonata Opus 143 movement by Franz Schubert. During the evening representatives from two local charities – 100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary and The Mill Site Lodge/ Fischer Place Auxiliary – accepted all the gate receipts, which will be devoted to making hospital patients more comfortable. This is an instance of where one choral community helps the larger community through the medium of music. Because of family and work commitments, Kreschuk will have to stand down as main leader next year, but hopes to sing and take rehearsals as required on an occasional basis.

Stepping forward to take the major role of director will be the choir member and pianist, Marilyn Buyar, who comes to the position with a considerable background as a singer, choral director and teacher. Also backing up the director when required next year will be Patricia Spencer and Donna Forward, two choir musicians, who have also played major directing and accompanying roles this past year. The concert overall was intended to be light and cheerful to reflect the warm spring weather

Track and field team prepares for zones

ken alexander Free Press

Hockey and soccer attract the largest number of youth participants in 100 Mile House and the surrounding area, but there is a local group athletes and coaches dedicated to track and field. Lori Meville is a teacher at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) and has been coaching track for 16 years. Currently, there are six athletes from 100 Mile House Junior Secondary regularly attending practices under the watchful eyes of their coach Tracy Moore, and there are 10 from PSO who Meville trains. She says the turnout for track and field has been “pretty good” this year, but notes participation has peaks and valleys. “We build a team, and by the time we get them to Grade 12, they’re a nice big group and then they’ll graduate. Then we’re starting from scratch again and building a new team. “It seems to go in waves and we get a big group every three or four years.” Despite track and field being extremely popular in this area’s elementary schools, Meville notes that when the students go to the secondary schools, a lot of things are happening in their lives and they don’t have time for track and field. “It’s jobs, studies or social commitment that takes up their time. Then some students try to do too many sports, such as hockey and soccer.” Currently, the squad is training for the zones

in Prince George on May 23-24. She notes students don’t have to have to qualify, as everyone can compete. However, Meville says they have to make a certain level of qualifications if they want to go to provincials. She adds 100 Mile House athletes have had some really good years at the zones. “We’ve had them come back with firsts, seconds and thirds. They give placements up to eighth and they gain points for their teams. We have placed quite high in the team standings, but it’s been a few years.” The current team has some javelin and discus throwers, hurdlers, sprinters and long-distance runners, as well as high, triple and long jumpers. Meville says the PSO athletes usually start indoors training in February and work on their fitness until they can get out on the fields. Coach Phil Johnston and Moore work with the throwers, and Meville says that is great because her strength is in the track events. “Track and field is such a neat group to coach ... they are self-motivated and they want to do the best they can do and they’re not necessarily competing against each other – although they get to zones and they’re pretty competitive.” Jason Ruscheinsky has been competing in javelin and discus since he was in Grade 8, and the Grade 12 PSO student says he is looking forward to competing at the zones. Ruscheinsky started throwing javelin in Grade 8 after he discovered he had a

Fast bytes western weekend The 47th Annual 100 Mile House Little Britches Rodeo is at the Outriders Arena on Friday (May 18), with rodeo events for cowgirls and cowboys up to 14 years of age.

knack for it. He went to the zones that year and finished second. Noting he didn’t compete last year due to the teachers withdrawing from extracurricular activities, Ruscheinsky says he is getting back into form now.

However, he sustained a hockey injury last year and cannot throw the javelin as well as he used to, so he is concentrating on the discus now. “That’s turning into my main sport now.” As far as the zones go,

Ruscheinsky says he is just going to do the best he can. “Really that’s all you can do ... and hope for the best. I think I’m a contender, especially with the discus – maybe not the javelin, but that’s why I’m out here today working on it.”

Time to get Wranglers season’s tickets Tickets for the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s inaugural home season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) are currently on sale. Noting the tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis, Wranglers club president Tom Bachynski says the first pair of season’s tickets were sold to Bruce and Sandy Madu at the recent

A25

Mega Show. “They saw [notification of the season’s tickets going on sale] in the [Free Press] and they were waiting for an hour before we showed up, so they could be the first ones. “Bruce is a great volunteer in the community. He’s helped out with the Communities in Bloom. Just about anybody who needs help, he’s helped them.” Being the first folks to purchase

season’s ticket, they got to select the seats of their choice. “Bruce picked his seat that night and then he came in the next day to charge where they wanted to sit.” Bachynski says the club has sold more than 50 season’s ticket so far, without getting back to the people who said they would buy tickets. “It’s just kind of that time space continuum; we got to get out there.

But it’s going to be first come, first serve; that’s what we suggested right from the start, so we just need people to come out and get those tickets.” Folks can pick up their tickets and choose their seats at the reception desk at Central GM. “We’ll probably get out and about to a couple of events, so we can sell some season’s tickets there as well.

Members are urged to attend the 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society’s annual general meeting at the 99 Mile Nordic Centre Lodge on May 23, starting at 6:30 p.m. The club needs more members to be involved at the board level.

It’s going to be a wild rodeo weekend in 100 Mile House on the May long weekend, beginning with the 47th Annual 100 Mile House Little Britches Rodeo on May 18, then riding through with the South Cariboo BCRA Rodeo on May 19-20. Little Britches features young cowboys and cowgirls up to the age of 14 competing in events, such as steer riding, barrel racing and a long list of others. There will also be two rounds of mutton busting, with the first one following the lunch break and the second, midway through the afternoon. The cost to enter is $5 and it’s open to children under the age of six, and weighing less than 50 pounds (22 kilograms). Little Britches is a full day of fun and entertainment, with gates opening at 8:30 a.m. and junior events getting underway at 9 a.m. The seniors ride in the afternoon, following the lunch break. The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club is hosting the event, and vice-president Denise Little says they could use a few more

volunteers. To help out, contact her at 250-3967724. The Outriders have been busy keeping the rodeo grounds in tiptop shape, with the latest improvement being the addition of 12 loads of sand that will provide better footing for the animals. Two of the three grandstands have also received a new coat of paint. Admission to the rodeo is $10 for adults,

Jeffrey’s Junior golf season tees off in Okanagan

Carole Rooney Free Press

108 Mile Ranch’s Lynden Jeffrey has played in his first Zone 2 Tour junior golf tournaments of the year at the golf and country clubs in Salmon Arm (May 4) and Vernon (May 5). The first day started off a bit rocky, but his swing improved by the second day, he says. In Salmon Arm, which was his fourth time golfing this year, including practice, Jeffrey says he was off his game, but then bounced back the next day in Vernon. Normally, Jeffrey likes the pressure of the first tee with “everyone watching,” he explains, but that was not the case on May 5. “I’ve honestly never been so nervous on the first tee, even last year. “I did really badly on Saturday, but then

Lynden Jeffrey is back on the greens and fairways after a long Cariboo winter. After competing in recent Zone 2 Junior Golf tournaments in the Okanagan, he is now preparing for the next two events in Kamloops on May 25-26.

Sunday I had confidence. I shot two over [par] on the front, and then three over on the back.” He hit eight straight pars in succession, triple bogeyed, and then hit par on every other hole on the back 9, Jeffrey adds. “I shot 77, so it was two over my handicap. Other than the 16th hole, it was good.” This score placed him at ninth overall (age 14-19) in Vernon, where the lowest was 69. He was 18th in Salmon Arm at 84, with the winning score at 73. The 16-year-old had skipped the first four tournaments in the Okanagan Tour, over two weekends, as the climate in 100 Mile House makes practice impossible, while the Southern Interior golfers have already been out on the course. However, he practised at 108 Golf Resort

Hockey club has new executive

The annual general meeting for 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association, held April 23 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, didn’t draw a large number of people, but it was productive. All key positions were filled, says new pastpresident Darryl Blades. “I think the meeting went very well. We have new people on the executive and more volunteers.” Stepping up to the position of president is Matt Bowen, who served as a vice-presi-

dent last season. First vice-president is Matt Carr, and second vice-president is Kim Mills. Both are new to the hockey club executive. Cara Bowen remains as secretary and Loretta Taylor stays on as treasurer for another term. Directors are Janice Poggenpohl, Duanne Popadinac, Cale Tessaro, and director of female hockey is Cristy Mellott. Denise Balbirnie is president of the parent’s auxiliary. Blades says he is confident the hockey

association is in good hands. “I think we have a

very good executive and I’m looking forward to the 2013/14 season.”

on May 4, and shot two over par, so Jeffrey doesn’t feel he was rusty going into the season. “I was confident. My drivers are good and I was confident in my swing. I guess the nervousness got to me Saturday and I couldn’t play right.” Since doing bet-

ter in Vernon, Jeffrey’s game has continued to go well, and he says in practice on May 11 all of his 150-yard shots to the green were within 25 feet of the pin. “My accuracy with my 150 [shots], which normally has been my weaker [part of my game], was so strong on

[May 11]. I’m hoping to keep that throughout this season because it makes me play a lot better. It gives me way more chances at my birdies than it does normally.” The next tournament in the tour is May 25-26 in Kamloops, Jeffrey notes.

Founders Club tickets available now

From A25

The adult ticket for a reserved seat costs $250 for 26 home games and it gives the season’s ticket owner first right of refusal for their seats at the playoff games. However, it doesn’t cover the cost of the playoff tickets. Noting Canlan Ice Sports is putting in 350 stadium chairs (folding-bottom chairs with a back) and they’ll be ready for the start of the season, Bachynski says the club’s goal is to sell 300 of them. “In a perfect world,

we’d love to sell all 350 of them, but our goal right now is to sell 300 season’s tickets. I’m pretty confident that by the middle of June, we’re going to be pretty close to our goal.” Bachynski notes the Wranglers entry into the KIJHL is going to provide great entertainment, and for $250, folks are going to see 26 home games from mid-September to midFebruary. “You’re going to be able to come to town, have a bite to eat, watch a great hockey game and still be home by 10

or 10:30 p.m. “I think it’s going to be a great social event. We have a good hockey following in this community, and every time we put on a hockey event, people come out in droves. They have a good time because they see old friends they don’t see so much anymore.” The club president says it’s going to be fast and exciting hockey, and they have a great coach in Doug Rogers who will bring great talent into town. “I’m so excited; I just can’t wait for that first puck to drop.”

Founders Club The Wranglers are also offering a unique opportunity for folks who want to purchase some of the 65 premium centre ice seats, or as Bachynski calls them, “the best seats in the house.” “These are for the founders of the community. The people who understand that we need to have things like a Junior B hockey team in order to create local excitement and local buy-in to the community.” The seats go for $1,500 per seat, but it covers three seasons for exclusive rights to the seats and exclusive

rights for renewal. They will have first right of refusal for their seats during the playoffs. The founder will also have their names recognized as founders in every program for the next three years. Bachynski says they will have a special night during which they get to choose their seats – again on the first come, first ticket purchase basis. Folks who want to purchase the Founders Club tickets can talk to Bachynski or go to www.tickets@100mile wranglers.com. Already, one-third of the Founders Club seats have been sold.

Best live musical show in Cariboo in a long time

By Glen Tanner On Mother’s Day (May 12), I had the pleasure of attending the live show, The Louisiana Hayride and “The Legends of Country and Rockabilly” at the South Cariboo Recreation Centre in 100 Mile House … and what a great time was had by all who attended. Following the theme of the old-time radio variety shows made popular throughout the ‘40s and ‘50s, the local crowd was swept into the golden age of country and rock ‘n’ roll, with the outstanding talents of tribute artists who have been performing the personas made famous by this traditional program. The crowd was first warmed up an excellent rendition of Hank Williams Sr. by performer Patrick Ryley who brought the character to life with a great costume and mannerisms. He even took a couple of pulls from a whiskey flask to show the wily ways of the first outlaw of country music. Next came the performance of Adam Fitzpatrick as “The Young Elvis” and the ladies in the crowd gasped and cheered at his loads of hip-grinding energy to the song Hound Dog. Andrea Anderson wowed the crowd with her versions of both Loretta Lynn’s Coal Miner’s Daughter and Patsy Cline’s Blue Moon of Kentucky. Mike Melnichuk’s performance of Burl Ives’ Funny Way of Laughing was masterful. William Brookfield’s deep voice was excellent as he impersonated Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings – not to mention the incredible skills he used with his keyboard to create everything

from percussion to the Mariachi Trumpets for Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. Gil Risling was eerily realistic in his performances of both Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson, when his singing and guitar strumming brought the audience back to the ballads of the sixties when music was simpler and these music icons were fledgling stars. The show would not have been as wonderful as it was without the narration and information provided by the lovely and talented Lori Risling, who is also the writer and producer of The Louisiana Hayride. Although there were some minor technical issues with the light and sound, it just goes to show the professionalism of these great performers and their “show must go on” attitude. Their skill and enthusiasm more than made up for any of the tech issues and made them barely noticeable by the crowd. In closing, I will state that in my humble opinion, this has been one of the best live musical shows to have come to the South Cariboo in a long time, and I for one, am looking forward to their Old-time Christmas Show coming to the Cariboo on Dec. 1 for the holiday season.

Things are greening up in the Lone Butte area and the mosquitoes are definitely out for blood. I’ve heard of a couple of new ways to hold off the blood thirsty little pests and am eager to give them a try. I will let you know if I have any success. Other flying creatures that have arrived and making themselves heard are the sand hill cranes and loons, as they call out their spring greetings to everyone. Once I hear the sound of the loons, I know that winter is officially over.

Doors are open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and a few tables are still available, so folks you can contact Pat McKay at 250-395-2114 to book a table.

on out and check out the wares. After this one, the next market will be held on June 22. Yard work The Lone Butte Community Hall should have some green growth on the newly levelled section beside the building. With the help of Ceel Roseboom, the hall will now have better drainage and hopefully some new grass to spruce up the property, too. Thanks to all who helped out with that latest project.

Lone Butte Rocks With just over a month to go until the annual Lone Butte Rocks community celebration, Heather Nelson and her team are getting everything organized for the big event.

Dental group volunteers in Peru Free humanitarian dental work brings smiles to the faces of needy were making a difference for people who might otherwise never see a dentist. Each day, more people than could be handled gathered at the make-shift clinic. Each was given a bib and quickly assessed by a triage crew. Their needs were written on the bib, which was handed to the dental professionals when their turn came. The clinic was split into four main areas of expertise – dental

hygiene, filling and restorative, extractions, and dentures, and all but the hygienists rotated stations daily. Simon filled an important role as an instrument sterilizer. Because the usual steam sterilization equipment was not available, chemicals were used to clean dental instruments, and his station quickly became an entertainment spectacle for the town’s children. They crowded around the table, but concerned that chemical fumes might be harmful to his young audience, Simon set up a ring of chairs a safe distance away. His work went beyond the

sterilization unit and into the community washroom where he served as janitor and handyman. He also helped set up dental equipment, took care of trouble-shooting when the need arose, and manned the waiting area, armed with a water gun to deter the many dogs, which were attracted by the smells and activity. Spraying the dogs turned out to be another popular source of entertainment for the young people. The dental crew treated young and old, with teeth in all states of decay, who had possibly never seen a dentist before. Continued on B2

n March 2013, three dental professionals took a week-long leave from their comfortable, well-equipped dental office in 100 Mile House to provide free dental care in a small town in Peru. Dentist Derek Wilden, dental hygienist Ivone McComb, dental assistant Debbie Dengel and her husband, Simon Dengel, who is a welder, volunteered their services to an Alberta humanitarian aid organization, Kindness in Action Service Society. They joined a group of 18 volunteers to the town of Urubamba, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. They paid all their own travel expenses, and with totes full of disposable dental supplies, the

group set up a dental field unit in a building, which regularly functions as a preschool and health centre. Makeshift patient beds were fashioned from regular tables with sheets of sponge foam duct taped overtop. Word of the free dental clinic spread quickly through the town and surrounding area and people crowded the waiting area by 8 a.m. the first day. As soon as the first table was assembled, it was put into use. This was the beginning of a week of exhausting work and a large meaSubmitted photo sure of satisfaction for Ivone McComb, left, Simon Dengel, Debbie Dengel and Derek Wilden visited Machu Picchu during a volunteer misthe team in knowing they sion where they provided free dental care for the people in Peru.

Local dental crew had trip of a lifetime

From B1

A couple of dedicated interpreters did their best to explain procedures to the patients and calm their fears, and Ivone’s mastery of Portuguese also helped break the language barrier. Even so, for some of the youngsters, having their teeth worked on was still terrifying. “Some things are universal, like kids and dentists,” Derek says, adding there were many tears. He notes there were many successes. He recounts one of his most memorable as a young boy who was too petrified to open his mouth for anaesthetic on the first day, but after seeing his sister have her teeth repaired, bravely returned the next morning. “He asked to have the work done, but it had to be on his conditions,” says Derek. Known in 100 Mile House as having a good rapport with children, Derek made balloon animals for his young patients when he had a spare minute. Youngsters were also sent home with gifts of toothbrushes, small toys, clothing, school supplies and District of 100 Mile House lapel pins. People were appreciative of the care they received, and while they didn’t have much in the way of money or material goods, they showed their gratitude the best way they could.

Ivone McComb photo

On a humanitarian mission with Kindness in Action Service Society of Alberta, dentist Derek Wilden, left, and dental assistant Debbie Dengel put in long hours at the make-shift dental clinic.

“One woman brought me a roll of toilet paper as a thank you gift,” recounts Ivone, noting toilet paper was a rare find in bathrooms. There were more patients than there was time to give, and at the end of each day, some people had to be sent home without having received the help they needed. It was difficult for each member of the crew to leave the clin-

ic at the end of the week, when they were replaced by another group of volunteers like themselves. The next portion of their trip was for personal enjoyment and they took the opportunity to see some major sights. The first trip was a visit to the familiar icon of Inca civilization – Machu Picchu. The site is located 2,430 metres above sea level, and

after riding a train partway up the mountain, they chose to hike the last 10 kilometres along the Inca Trail. It was a tough, steep, seven-hour climb that was interspersed with sightings of beautiful butterflies, snakes slithering across their narrow path and a breath-taking waterfall named Forever Young, where Debbie and Ivone each sprinkled ashes of their respective children, Jamie and Rachel, who had been taken from them as young adults. The group reached Machu Picchu at the end of the day, with not enough time to explore, but returned by bus the next day for a more complete visit. Next on their itinerary was a flight to the Amazon where they were greeted by monsoon-like rain that left a concerning layer of water on the runway. It was just a preview of the water-logged terrain they would encounter in the coming days. The group travelled

While relaxing by the swimming pool after a long day of exploring, they were taken by surprise by a huge snake that slithered into the pool in front of them, and swam across to the other side. Frightening at the time, it was just another surreal experience to add to the many they had while in Peru, and something to laugh about later. Each member of the group values each one of those experiences, and Derek says, “There aren’t enough words to describe what it was like.” Debbie sums up the trip as life-changing, and Ivone says, “I feel blessed to have done it.”

by river boat to their resort which struck them all as something out of an Indiana Jones movie, complete with thatched roof wooden huts for accommodation and scorpions and tarantulas that hid in dark corners. It was their base for exploring the Amazon area which included a paddle up the river in a dugout canoe, accessed by a four-kilometre trek in rubber boots. Another adventure took them on a hike through the jungle in thigh-high water. The worry of wading into a snake was justified, but it was back at the resort where they had their closest encounter.

Be Careful What You Wish For: a dream come true Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Dedication, hard work and a large measure of talent made the 100 Mile House Elementary School play, Be

Careful What You Wish For, a success for its 17-member cast and director Tammy Levesque-Holyk. The production played to audiences on the evenings of May 1 and 2 in the school

gymnasium. Levesque-Holyk heads the StrongStart program in the school and held rehearsals daily during lunch hour, beginning in March. “They gave up their lunch

Ryan Chamberlain and Emma-Lee Watson were very good in their roles in 100 Mile House Elementary School’s play that had a 17-member cast under the directorship of Tammy Levesque-Holyk. There was also a 13-member chorus, directed by Margot Shaw and Nicole Ross, that was very powerful.

hours, and I’m really proud of them,” says LevesqueHolyk. The 13-member chorus, directed by teacher Margot Shaw and Nicole Ross, were powerful and also wellrehearsed. The school doesn’t have a regular drama club, so Levesque-Holyk spearheaded the play to give students stage and acting experience. Be Careful What You Wish For fit her criteria for a onehour, family-friendly play with a large cast. The comedy production focused on magical genies who granted wishes to people in sad circumstances. Different scenarios were based on old folk tales from around the world and gave the play a multicultural flair. A nominal admission was charged at the door, and proceeds will be used to buy scripts for future plays and start a kitty for new microphones.

Dear Canimites, Well, summer has arrived in fine style, with bright, warm weather. Wildflowers are showing on the sunny side of Canim – little Blue Violets, Hooker’s Fairybells and Smallflowered Blue-eyed Mary. Something new pops up each day as the warm weather continues.

Fire department celebration The Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) had its annual Firefighter Appreciation Dinner at the community hall. Chief Bob Felker thanked the volunteers who have contributed so much of their time in preparing for fire and medical emergencies in the community. He said the FGVFD is now of a size and competency that “when the pager goes off, I know there are enough skilled personnel to answer the call.” Long-service awards were presented to Ron Lister and Sheila Hart of Canim Lake, and Wendy Clarke, Twan

de Kok, Jules Jewra and Roger Beveridge of Forest Grove. Thanks to Wendy who organized the event and to The Two Sisters who catered the delicious meal. Rod and Gun Club The Hans Saenger Memorial Shoot at the Canim range brought out 16 competitors, including two teenagers who are learning the sport. This trap-shooting event has been run annually for four years. Ted Swift took top honours. denise swift, a prize-winning archer and local artist, was hot on her husband’s heels in the shooting event. Watch out next year, Ted.

The action was followed by a social around the barbecue of chef Rudi Gauss and the chili, salads and buns brought by the competitors. Flower lovers take note Ten of the Community Club women arranged 15 hanging baskets and five planters full of flowers for the Planter and Bake Sale, June 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Canim Lake Store. Doug Pendergast made three of the planters to resemble swans, the beautiful harbingers

POLICE WEEK May 12 - 18

Local RCMP officer honoured Impaired driver removals recognized

A local RCMP officer was one of 41 members from the North District honoured for his perseverance and dedication to getting impaired drivers out from behind the wheel on May 2. Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services RCMP member Const. Lee Simpkins has been recognized as a 2012 Alexa’s Team Member for his efforts in successfully removing 49 impaired drivers from local roads last year. Cpl. Clint Lange of the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment says he is pleased with Simpkins’ success in this area of local police work. “Drinking and driving is a huge concern for everybody in the community and we encourage all our officers to be active in enforcing the impaired driving laws when they are out there. “Const. Simpkins has distinguished himself by taking this role very seriously in pursuing drinking driving investigations, and we are happy he is taking such a proactive approach to enforcing [these] laws and getting them off the road.” Simpkins is a Drug Recognition Expert [DRE] for the detachment, which involved intensive training in the field, Lange notes. “That particular aspect of police is certainly new and he has taken a keen interest in that in providing field sobriety tests for drug impairment. We call

on him when there is a case that we suspect somebody has consumed drugs and is driving.” Alexa’s Team was formed in remembrance of Alexa Renée Middelaer who lost her life at age four after being run down by a vehicle driven by an impaired driver in May 2008. The recognition ceremony was held at the Immaculate Conception School in Prince George. Alexa’s mother, Laural Middelaer, was in attendance and addressed the group along with Deputy Superintendent of Motor Vehicles Stephanie Melvin, Prince George Mayor Shari Green and ICBC Road Safety

co-ordinator Diana Pozer. To be nominated for Alexa’s Team, police officers must have removed at least 12 impaired drivers from the road in the previous calendar year through a criminal charge investigation for alcohol or drug impairment, or through a 90-day roadside or administrative driving prohibition. In 2012, these 41 members of Alexa’s Team in the North District were respon-

sible for issuing more than 1,150 impaired driving related charges and sanctions. This is in addition to the thousands of 24-hour, three-day and seven-day driving prohibitions issued by North District members throughout the year.

This is a reminder that the Watch Lake/North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary’s (WLNGLVFDA) bake and garage sale will be held at the Sonny Johnson Memorial Fire Hall (Hall #2), 5771 North Green Lake Rd., on May 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be plenty of baked goods for sale, as well as a variety of items from the garage sale. The firefighters will be selling breakfast sandwiches from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and hotdogs and hamburgers from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pop, water, tea and coffee will be sold during the event. The auxiliary will also have ice cream cones to sell. If you are interested in purchasing the apple pies prior to the day of the sale, contact Gisele Poliseno at 250-395-9082 or Helen Eagle at 250456-2413. When you start your spring cleaning and are thinking of discarding any used items, please remember the WLNGLVFDA’s annual garage and bake sale. Items should be clean and in fairly good condition, and when donating small electrical appliances, indicate whether they

are in working condition or not. All donations are greatly appreciated. The only items the auxiliary are not accepting this year are large appliances or electronics as these are very hard to sell. f you have any items to donate, please contact Helen Monk at 250-4567638 for drop-off. She has, once again, offered her garage to store the items until May 17.

Birthday girl Marg Huber surprised by family and friends FOREST GROVE Shelly Carrera 250-397-2400

shellycarrera@hotmail.com

On May 1, Marg Huber, who turned 80 years old on April 29, was surprised with a birthday cake and homemade cards at Forest Grove Elementary School. She also received a lovely flower arrangement, which was perched lovingly on the school piano. Folks dropped in to wish her well and family members, who came from as far away as Saskatchewan, were there for her special day. Anyone who knows Marg is well aware of her love for music and the fact she can play a piano or an organ by ear or read sheet music. She is self taught and has played since she was a small girl and now plays at seniors homes, the Farmers’ Market and a lot of other community gatherings. She can also be found playing with her “old-time band” where she gets together her pals and they jam together.

Marg is a woman of many talents. Over the years she’s worked as a waitress, in public health and was in the banking business, but her true passion is taking care of her family. She has two children, five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her children’s friends were also important and she has also had five foster children. You would think all this would fill her days, but she also loves to bake and keeps a greenhouse. Grove cleanup As part of the Earth Week celebrations, a group of eight Forest Grove residents took on the project of picking up roadside garbage from the three-way stop in Forest Grove to the transfer station on April 24.

On this beautiful spring day, two hours were spent collecting 14 bags of garbage. Richard Bergen says they might have a cleanup day in the fall. Marianne Van Osch, who started up the litter cleanup years before Earth Day was created jokingly says, “We were a bit ahead of the times.” The clean up has been observed for more than 10 years. Summer camp Lake of the Trees Bible Camp (LOTT) directors Jody and Tom McIntosh are preparing for the arrival of the youth who plan to attend the camp this season. The goal is to treat everyone to a fabulous summer experience, even those who work hard to make that happen. Jody and Tom are

always looking for volunteers who fit the bill and expect more than 100 volunteers to work at the camp. Registration for this non-profit, nondenominational camp can be done online at www.lakeofthetrees. com. A community Open House will be held June 22 and there will be a

free barbecue from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Plan to take this in and wander around the site. Practice makes perfect On the evening of May 7, there was a buzz of activity behind the Forest Grove Fire Hall. A motor-vehicle incident was simulated Continued on B12
