Voters in the Cariboo-Chilcotin constituency made their choice clear in the May 14 provincial election, as B.C. Liberal MLA Donna Barnett held on to her seat with a clear victory. Barnett took 56.44 per cent of the votes (6,952) over NDP candidate Charlie Wyse’s 34.53 per cent (4,253), trailed by Green Party of BC’s Dustin Price at 5.33 per cent (657) and Independent candidate Gary Young with 3.69 per cent (455). With the B.C. Liberals winning the election for another majority government, Barnett says she is looking forward to a positive government where “no is not acceptable.” “We, as a province, have tried to work together to move forward to create the jobs that are needed, and particularly in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. “One of the most important parts of environment is people. We talk about child poverty – it’s not child poverty, it’s parent poverty, and the only way we’re going to get out of this is with jobs.” She adds it is also about taking care of our neighbours – not just ourselves. “I’d like to thank all the voters for the mandate they have given me, and thanks to all the volunteers who worked hard on my campaign.” The local MLA successfully widened the margin seen in 2009 when Barnett and Wyse were neck-and-neck during the election, which she won only after a recount and by less than one percentage point. Since then, Barnett’s reputation for a loud and clear voice in legislature has been Continued on 8

Staff members and clients at Central GM in 100 Mile House were invited to enjoy the inaugural Flash Lunch put on free of charge by The Hills Health Ranch on May 10. Len Doucette, Hills general manager business development, encourages folks to watch the Hills Facebook page for hints on when the next Flash Lunch will occur.
Flash Lunch: a brilliant event At 11:45 a.m. on May 10, there was a lot of horn honking going on in the Central GM parking lot in 100 Mile House. Folks strolled over to the windows to see what was going on just as a van from The Hills Health Ranch pulled up to the front door. Hills chef Ed Burney immediately started ringing a loud dinner bell, while Hills general manager of business development Len Doucette started carting big bins into the showroom. After setting up a large table, Doucette announced this was The Hills first Flash Lunch and invited staff and everyone in the build-

Doucette says The Hills wanted to come up with something that has never been done, and after a bit of brainstorming, they came up with the idea of having a Flash Lunch. “We thought it would be a great, fun idea and it was a way for us to thank our community for their support and patronage.” It also helps promote our business and the business we hold the event at, he explains. “I am sure the staff and customers at Central GM went home and told their spouses and friends what happened.” Doucette says The Hills will be doing

Trap shooting scores tight
3
Carole Rooney Free Press
The Fourth Annual Hans Saenger Memorial Shoot at the Forest Grove Rod and Gun Club’s Canim Lake Shooting Range on May 5 attracted 16 competitors, including two teenagers learning the sport. Ted Swift took top honours and the perpetual trophy for first place in the trapshooting event. Club president Gerhard Loeffeler says a tie between Swift and himself, after each successfully hit targets in 46 out of 50 shots, ended in a “suddendeath shootout” to determine the winner. Loeffeler adds his second place score was one shot behind, after he missed the next shot but Swift hit the clay pigeon. He notes the competition was a very close with most scores very close together. “It was a very competent field of shooters who scored just one to two points apart from each other, so it was a very close shoot. Anybody could have won this one.” While no other placings are formally recognized in the trapshooting competition, the next scores ran at 44, 42, 41 and so on, Loeffeler explains. About 40-45 people turned out to either watch or compete in the event, he adds. “The weather was fantastic, so people were just enjoying watching the competition, and we had a barbecue going, so it was a nice day.” The club has been going for more than 40 years, and Loeffeler says it recently improved the gun range by adding a 200-yard shooting range to its current 50-yard and 100-yard ranges. All kinds of target shooters might be interested in the range, Loeffeler says, adding he encourages anyone wishing more information on memberships to call him at 250-397-2826. The next club activity

The town will be rollicking this Victoria Day weekend (May 18-21) when two popular rodeos roll out the livestock for a barrel of fun. Folks are in store for a wild ride at the Outriders Arena when the South Cariboo BCRA Rodeo comes to town May 19-20. Some of the top amateur and semi-pro competitors in British Columbia will be riding, roping and bucking to try to earn top prize money. These key competitors featured will include Steve Hohmann of Quesnel, who will be aiming for top dollars in bull riding, bareback and bronc riding. Langley’s Charlie Atrill and South Cariboo team roper Ty Lytton are also surely hoping to bring home some money if all goes well for these cowboys. Diamond D Bulls and C Plus Rodeo Stock are bringing some of their best animals for the rough stock competitions, which are also certain to put on an action-filled show for the crowds. The rodeo action begins at noon both days, each of them kicked off in a grand entry by the Wild West Riders Drill Team. Cowboy Church will once again take place in the grandstands on Sunday (May 19) at 10:30 a.m., with Pastor Blair Bates of Cowboy Valley Church as the guest speaker this year. Rodeo admission is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students and free for children

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.

Osteoporosis prevention keeps people moving for life
Men and women over the age of 50 are at risk for osteoporosis, a disease marked by reduced bone strength leading to an increased risk of fractured or broken bones. Osteoporosis is the major underlying cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and in the elderly. Often, a fracture of the hip, spine, or wrist is the first sign. British Columbia’s physiotherapists want to share their Physio-4 for osteoporosis – four tips on how
to treat osteoporosis, to keep British Columbians moving for life.
Know fracture risk Women and men over age 50 should be assessed for risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture to identify if they are at high risk. Osteoporosis occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women; however, prevention of this condition should begin in one’s twenties. Men and women should per-
form resistance type exercises throughout their lifetime to help reduce the decline in bone density. Your physiotherapist will establish a strengthening program with resistance exercises to suit your risk factor and help you to build stronger bones.
Weight-bearing exercise If you are diagnosed with low bone density or with osteoporosis, adopting a weight bearing and
strength training exercise program will improve your bone health. It has been shown that weight-bearing exercise also improves muscle strength and balance and helps improve physical function and reduce pain. Improve balance Folks can prevent falls and fractures by following a therapeutic exercise program designed to improve balance and co-ordina-

tion. This will also help to build bone density. Your physiotherapist can create an individualized exercise program for you. Avoid bending, twisting Lifting or carrying loads that are disproportionate can be dangerous for those with low bone density. Your physiotherapist can provide guidance on specific movements to avoid or how to move safely. To learn more, visit movingforlife.ca.

safeguard the flowers from foot traffic. • Preparing the soil a few weeks before you start planting can help the plants thrive down the road.

By adhering to the maps, gardeners can significantly increase their chances of growing successful gardens. If still in doubt, consult a local gardening centre or seek advice from a professional landscaper. • When choosing a location, consider how much sunlight a location gets on a daily basis and its proximity to a water supply.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that many use to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Though gardening can be both relaxing and rewarding, the more time and effort a person devotes to his or her garden the more likely it is to be successful. Gardening can be a little daunting for the inexperienced, but it need not be so intimidating, especially for those beginners who adhere to the following tips aimed at helping novice gardeners start their gardens off on the right foot. • Where you live will determine what you should plant. While you can plant almost anything you want, Agriculture and Agri-
roots to grow stronger, while deterring bugs and preventing weed growth. Many gardeners find mulch adds visual appeal and does so in a very inexpensive way. • Clean your tools before putting them away at the end of each gardening session, as soil left on your garden tools can carry potentially harmful microbes that might kill your plants. Gardening can be a labor-intensive yet gratifying hobby. By sticking to a few simple rules, beginners can develop a thriving garden to reward all of that hard work.

A few precautions can reduce the risk of rabies significantly
The long weekend is here, and for many of us, this means it’s time to get ready for summer. Planning to do some spring cleaning? Bringing your summer gear out of storage? Heading to the great outdoors to open the cabin? It’s important to know that activities like these can result in contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in British Columbia. Rabies is a very serious disease that affects the nervous system. If not treated in time, rabies is almost always fatal. Last year, 39 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a two week long period of vaccinations, must be administered as soon as possible after exposure. “Between four and eight per cent of the bats that are tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus,” says Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health. “Most bat-human encounters occur when bats get into houses or summer cabins, usually through open windows, doors, chimneys, or narrow cracks. Attics are a favourite bat refuge. If you come into contact with live or dead bats, it is very important to avoid touching them.” Jeyes advises all contact with bats should be taken seriously. “Anyone who has come into contact with a bat should call the local public health unit or their doctor right away even if you can’t see bite marks or scratches. Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites may not be visible but could still be there. “People should not wait for symptoms to appear. Get checked out as soon as possible – early treatment is crucial
to prevent the disease from progressing.” Prevention: • Do not touch live or dead bats. Parents should tell their children not to play with or touch bats. • Make your home or cabin “bat proof.” Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens don’t have holes, and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. • If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves.
• Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your home or workplace or is inhabited by bats. • Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (caves). • If you have a pet dog, cat or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies. Bitten/scratched: • Thoroughly wash

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!

indexed, she explained, and gives municipalities more flexibility on how they use it. McLeod added MPs no longer have “goldplated pensions,” as they now contribute several thousand dollars more annually to the parliamentary pension plan, as well as waiting longer to collect the retirement benefits. She noted the recent change was led by example by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who significantly cut his own pension plan (beyond what he gets as an MP), both for himself and for future leaders of Canada.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart gets them into the game to enter some very challenging provincial and national figure skating competitions in Canada,” says Marlee. “With all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.” Says Johnny Misley, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities president: “The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives. “Jumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers, so financially disadvantaged children can simply participate, and ultimately pursue their dreams.” Youth who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short- and long-term benefits, including increased self-esteem, greater selfconfidence, leadership skills and better grades. Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get youth into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of registration,

In Canada, one in three families cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers (Vision Critical 2011). Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate, but she didn’t think it would be possible coming from a family of four children and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness. Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her family were introduced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. The Jumpstart program supported Marlee’s skating lessons and Skate Canada membership through financial assistance. A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal – to one day join the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream. “Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed
