Car shortages, loading time issues for OSB plant

Carole rooney Free Press

Representatives from the Ainsworth Engineered-100 Mile House OSB plant recently called for some answers from Canadian National Railways (CN) representatives to address some problems it has with rail car supply. This discussion took place at a Rotary Club of 100 Mile House function held for the railway’s local stakeholders, when area team leader (shipping) Dave Neraasen spoke for Ainsworth, backed up by plant manager John Burns. Neraasen said ongoing peaks and valleys in the supply of rail cars has hit the local mill hard. Ainsworth has been proactively booking trucks to combat these rail car shortages, but he explained that incurs a much higher material transportation cost, and leaves a bigger carbon footprint. “With forestry coming on line again and a lot of mills starting to move, what’s the plan to get away

from these highs and lows? How are you guys going to provide us with that steady flow?” CN regional manager of public affairs Emily Hamer said the railway is aware of the problem. “This winter has been particularly rough, and this is one of the concerns with car shortages ... raised by some companies throughout the region. And, we are working very closely with those [customers].” She added CN management has also been working with its area account managers and the car management team on the issue. Neraasen noted that brought up another concern, since his close relationship with his CN customer service representative (CSR) in Prince George dissolved when that service was centralized. “We are anticipating issues because that’s the way it has gone. And, the issue with the CSR is we speak to somebody different every day.” Continued on A4

District hospital funding confirmed Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) chair John Massier says a couple of items of financial importance to area residents have arisen. The first is funding has come through from Interior Health that will allow Cariboo Memorial Hospital plans to move forward into further design stages. “We are pleased at this point, as we feel that we finally see some movement toward the needed renovations at the hospital in-patient [ward].” The funding confirmation came in the form of

New plans underway, old debts extinguished

a letter from IH, he explains, asking the CCRHD to submit its own 40 per cent portion of project funding for 2013/14. “That is the way we normally fund these capital projects, is a 60-40 split. So they are actually putting up $360,000 of their own money, and they are asking for $240,000 from us to make $600,000 total.”

The board unanimously approved a motion in late April for staff to prepare a bylaw to release the funds for processing at its May 28 meeting. “It’s going to mean the next [design] stage is moving along at the hospital, and it’s going to be a lot firmer costing.” The funding will initiate the project’s Concept Plan, a comprehensive summary of the capital and operating requirements specific to the scope of the project, to be submitted to the Ministry of Health in the spring of 2014.

Canim Lake Band holds Indian Residential School Heritage Days

By Marianne Van osch

May 22 was an overcast, dreary day in most places, except at Eliza Archie Memorial School (EAMS) on the Canim Lake Reserve. Almost 300 students and teachers gathered on the playing field behind the school for a Cultural Day that was packed with traditional First Nations activities. The students were from Horse Lake, Mile 108, Buffalo Creek, 100 Mile House, Forest Grove and Lac la Hache elementary schools, and their hosts were the EAMS students. They were welcomed by Michelle Archie, Chief Mike Archie and Councillors Eddie Dixon and Greg Archie. Cultural Day at the school was part of the Indian Residential School Heritage Days held by the Canim Lake Band. It was an opportunity to tell the public and young people, in particular, the story of residential schools and the effect the schools had on the children who attended them, as well as on their families. St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School near

Williams Lake opened in 1891 and closed in 1981. It was known as the Mission School. The government had decided residential schools would facilitate the assimilation of First Nations children into the white culture. Some 159 children from the Canim Lake Band, from the ages of four to 16, attended either that school or a residential school in Kamloops. Attendance was arbitrary. Refusal to turn over the children to authorities would result in arrest for the parents. Today, there are 59 former residential school students in the Canim Lake Band, many of whom are elders. Their stories are being compiled in a book that will provide a lasting record of what they experienced at the schools. A common thread through their stories is the devastating loneliness and isolation they felt from their families and even siblings who were also at the schools. More than 1,000 unique pictures have been collected for the book. Residential School coordinator Lyndsay Dixon, a

Tiny Tots Jingle Dancers Loghan Archie, left, and Drucilla Archie shared a hug after they danced during the Cultural Day at EAMS. Students and staff from several south end School District #27 schools attended the event. Cultural Day was part of the Indian Residential School Heritage Days hosted by the Canim Lake Band.

third generation residential school survivor, described the Heritage Days Opening Ceremonies held on May 21. “I thought the little dancers were beautiful because at residential school, we weren’t allowed to wear traditional clothes or to dance. It is important to showcase the fact that our young people are learning to dance, to drum, to sing in our traditional ways. “Throughout this whole process of having people speak about their experiences, it has been very difficult for our elders. They were taught not to talk. “However, one of them who has never spoken of his experiences did tell his story at the opening ceremonies.” Lyndsay told the students about daily life at the Mission School. Storyteller William Archie talked about his childhood, the old hunting trails he travelled with relatives, the lakes and creeks named after them, and the history of the church on the reserve. The students played

He explained the next problem occurs when car shortages or holidays cause material backups. Ainsworth’s requests for flexibility from CN, particularly for “a couple of extra hours” leeway to load cars, don’t pan out anymore. “So, we don’t have a yard here anymore, so our relationship with a local yard is gone, our relationship with a somewhat-localized CSR is gone, and its feels like we’re being kind of pushed away a little bit. And, that is a scary thought when our business depends on you guys.”

Al Blannin brings honour to community

Come to Nuthatch Books Tuesday, June 4 from 11am - 3pm to meet rancher Mack Bryson signing his new book.

Crime Stoppers provincial award bestowed locally Carole Rooney Free Press

The British Columbia Crime Stoppers President of the Year Award was recently bestowed on Al Blannin of 108 Mile Ranch. The local awards ceremony brought out area dignitaries from government and the RCMP, as well as several of Al’s family members, friends and fellow board members. These included 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall, all three area Cariboo Regional District directors, and Kamloops & District Crime Stoppers president Lee Dodds and KDCS co-ordinator Mark Price. They gathered at the District of 100 Mile House council chambers on May 23 to honour the longtime volunteer who was unable to attend the earlier provincial meeting where the award was officially announced. Al has been with Crime Stoppers of the South Cariboo (CSSC) since 1994, during which she has worked diligently to keep the organization afloat and operating successfully for 19 years. In one of several speeches during the ceremony, 100 Mile House RCMP Sgt. Don McLean noted that the provincial meeting was the only one of 12 that Al had missed and, of course, it would be the one where she was awarded this prestigious honour. He said several sup-

porting letters were necessary to successfully nominate her. “It was easy for me to provide a letter to support Al’s getting this award.” Al said she was surprised to hear she had been given the award. “I was a little overwhelmed. I didn’t think I was that important.” The local senior added CSSC has a “terrific rapport” with the 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment, which is running “even more smoothly” since McLean became its liaison. McLean said the program was in jeopardy of closing due to a lack of resources when he got involved in 2009. He noted Al had combined forces with board member Chris Nickless to prevent that from happening. There has been $18

million in stolen property and illicit drugs recovered through Al’s efforts with the local Crime Stoppers in almost two decades of service, McLean said, adding some indicators show it may be a much higher value than that. Her dedication went above and beyond what is required of Crime Stoppers volunteers, McLean noted. “She often paid her own financial costs to conventions and meetings.”

CSSC treasurer Marg Sarich read the various letters of support, including initial award comments that stated Al’s activity in Crime Stoppers led in part to her becoming South Cariboo Citizen of the Year in 2005. The local group works in conjunction with Kamloops & District Crime Stoppers, and its assistant co-ordinator Sue Brown wrote in her letter of support that she could not think of anyone more deserving than Al for this award.

“Al is not only well respected by the board, but also in the community in which she lives.” Brown later explained under Al’s leadership and partnership with the local RCMP detachment, almost $2.6 million in drugs and another $113,000 in stolen goods were recovered in 2012 alone in the South Cariboo. These stemmed from the 46 tips called in and $1,650 in cash rewards being handed out last year, Brown added. Al thanked everyone, and most especially her family, and said another nice surprise came when her daughter, Const. Carol Blannin of the Edmonton RCMP Headquarters, showed up at her door the night before (and attended the ceremony in her red serge uniform). Another of Al’s daughters, Kathy McKenzie, and Al’s great-grandson, Jackson Wright, were also there to witness the honours, as well as some of Al’s close friends. Al added she enjoys her volunteer role and meeting people from all over the world at conferences, and plans to continue on in the role.

DID YOU KNOW: Cataracts

A cataract is any clouding or opacity in the crystalline lens - the transparent lens inside the eye. Most cataracts develop as part of the aging process. Optometrists feel that prolonged exposure (over years) to sunlight can damage the lens and plays a role in cataract development. Sunglasses are an effective way of slowing the long-term progress of most cataracts.

This will include functional program details, process and physical space design, site assessment, equipment list, staffing, project schedule, budget and funding structures and other aspects. A PowerPoint presentation on the Concept Plan is available for download online at www.cariboord.bc.ca on the May 10 CCCRHD agenda, item 5.5. Now, Massier says

the board and IH will engage in stakeholder consultations with the CCRHD, the City of Williams Lake, and local physicians, staff and administration, as well as with patient representatives and Partnerships BC (which aids in the planning, delivery and oversight of major infrastructure projects). “We’re happy to see the planning process is moving on and the plan is to collect the information through

the summer and fall from all the stakeholder groups, and then for the concept plan to be prepared.” The other update from Massier relates to the money owed by both the CCRHD and its predecessor, the Cariboo Regional Hospital District (CRHD), which won’t expire until all its debts do sometime down the road. “We have an opportunity on Aug. 23 of this year to pay off an old debt from the CRHD ...

In British Columbia, however, we’ve failed to take the basic steps to decide what kind of society we want and how we’re going to reach our goals. In contrast, Alberta’s government approved a comprehensive Social Policy Framework this year. Other provinces – Nova Scotia, Quebec and Newfoundland – have launched similar initiatives. Alberta’s social policy plan sets out goals and includes priorities and strategies for linking the efforts of government, community agencies, individuals and the private sector. Nova Scotia’s social policy framework links social prosperity, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It’s sensible to decide what we hope to achieve – for a business, a non-profit or a

family – and how we will kindergarten “not ready to get there. learn.” Perhaps the best way This process starts by to help children learn is to acknowledging problems support at-risk families, with the status quo: policies address child poverty or that address whatever issue increase access to quality is the headlines; uncochildcare, or, most likely, ordinated actions; shorta combination of all the term thinking. above.

GUEST SHOT

rime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government is under the heat lamp for alleged bending of the rules by those in the Tories camp. We have another incident that has raised the hackles of Canadians from one side of the country to the other. This one falls in the arena of the hated patronage appointments and the misuse of our hard-earned tax dollars. Most people have a distaste for the governing party thrusting members of the party faithful into high profile and good-paying jobs. It starts with an appointment to a tribunal or a committee and reaches to the height of being an ambassador or a senator. The Senate is often seen as Canada’s great joke, and it is a shame to see a cornerstone of Canadian democracy turned into a laughing stock. Early on, Canada had senators to provide a sober second thought to acts and legislation coming out of the House of Commons for approval before they were passed into law. Senators were supposed to be wise people who were independent, and not the lapdogs, of the federal government. Senators would have to pass legislation before it became law on the basis that it would be good for all Canadians and not just a certain sector or a certain party. However, those days are long gone. The Senate lost credibility decades ago when Liberal and Conservative governments started stuffing the Upper House with their patronage appointments in order to gain the majority in the Senate. The public perception is Canadian taxpayers were shelling out money for senators who were marching to the drum of the party that gave them the job in the first place – if they even showed up at all. This brouhaha began when Canadians learned that Conservative Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin were having their housing allowance expense claims scrutinized. When the lid boiled off the pot and it became clear the allegations of fraudulent expense claims weren’t going to simmer down, both offered to pay back the discrepancies. Alas, it was too late for the “I’m sorry I got caught let me pay it back so everything is good again” routine. And it only got worse when the former chief of staff in the Prime Minister’s Office cut a cheque so Mr. Duffy could pay back his ill-gotten gains. This issue is not going to go away until there is real reform in the Senate. That will only happen when senators are elected by the people who are paying the bills.

involving tax policy, income assistance rates, economic growth, education and community services. The Alberta framework began as a 2012 election commitment. There was a website, with resources and opportunities for participation. Small grants were available to community groups for local consultation. It might not have been perfect, it did engage the public in defining the kind of society citizens wanted, the strategies and actions needed to make that a reality and the ways in which success can be measured. The re-elected B.C. Liberals should provide a similar process to set out a clear, specific social policy framework over the next 24 months.

Opinion

Senators must abide by rules To the editor: Recently, I have heard from constituents expressing their outrage over recent events involving four senators and the former chief of staff in the Prime Minister’s Office. I hope the actions of these few individuals don’t lead you to paint all senators with the same brush. We are fortunate to have senators like Nancy Greene Raine who are

dedicated to serving the people of British Columbia and Canada with integrity and honour. Regarding the recent allegations, all taxpayers are rightfully intolerant of any abuse of their hard-earned dollars. I am equally frustrated and unhappy with these allegations of abuse of public funds. I’m troubled Parliament is constrained by a set of legislative rules

that do not allow us to remove someone from public office for a breach of trust. However, if someone is in contravention of the law, there are a number of actions that can be taken. As this situation continues to unfold, we must understand one of Canada’s founding values is fair and due process under the law. This is a situation that is currently being investigated by the Ethics Commissioner, independent auditors and the RCMP. We all await their findings in

order to fully understand who is ultimately responsible. It is important that in the name of fair and due process, we allow the truth to be uncovered, and to take appropriate action based on the facts once they are known. In the meantime, the Supreme Court of Canada is reviewing a reference by Parliament as to whether the reforms we have proposed to the Senate can be accomplished by Parliament alone, and to rule on options for abolishing the Senate completely. These reforms are

intended to hold the Senate to a higher standard of accountability. The Supreme Court decision is expected to come out this fall. There is no excuse for any individual who holds public office to claim ignorance of the law. If an individual at the highest level of government doesn’t abide by the rules, they simply aren’t fit for the position.

To the editor: I would like to congratulate Donna Barnett for retaining her seat in the 2013 British Columbia election. I am surprised so many people voted for the BC Liberal Party. I guess they are OK with the B.C. Liberals ramming through the Harmonized Sales Tax, after lying about it. The HST was an unfair tax British Columbians didn’t want. I guess voters don’t care about what happened with BC Rail, formerly a province-owned asset, which was sold off in a very disgusting, “scandalous” deal. I guess voters don’t care that every year millions of their tax dollars, meant for schools and hospitals, goes into the questionable black hole of the Pacific Carbon Trust. I guess voters don’t care

about $500 million of public money being spent on a stadium roof. I guess voters don’t care if the government forces a billion-dollar “smart (meter) grid” on the province, even though the old system worked fine. I guess voters don’t care that, under the B.C. Liberals, B.C.’s

provincial debt grew from $33.8 billion in 2001 to more than $50 billion in 2012. That doesn’t include the roughly $55 billion that BC Hydro owes to Independent Power Producers for power it probably doesn’t need.

Backward Tory priorities hurt students Election result disappoints resident

To the editor: Why has the federal government reduced the number of student summer jobs it sponsors when the youth job market still has not recovered from the recession? Under the Conservative government, the number of student summer jobs has been cut by tens of thousands since 2006. Fewer students are getting help to create a summer job where they can earn their first work experience and money to pay for their education. This cut couldn’t have come at a worse time. Youth unemployment is double the national rate and there are 231,000 fewer youth jobs in Canada since the recession. It’s a tough economy these days for our young people. Instead of investing in our youth by creating student summer jobs, the Conservatives chose to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on try-

ing to “snow” Canadians with their shameless self-promoting commercials. Every time one of these brutal Harper ads interrupts your NHL playoff game, know the $95,000 cost of it could have paid for 32 student summer jobs. In other words, for everyone second these ads are on the air, another unemployed young Canadian could have had a job, but is going without. It’s a travesty. The government’s priorities seem to have been set in a bubble, completely walled off from the reality that Canadian families are facing. That’s not good enough. We should be doing more to help youth until their job market recovers, not less. Rodger Cuzner, Liberal MP Human Resources and Skills Development critic

ike those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of the Second World War, the militant fringe that controls the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. Liberal government. Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,” outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert said to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March, “but I think Christy’s goose is cooked.” We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make

the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago. It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

the province Greyhound impounded in Blue River CLEARWATER - Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has confirmed that a Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement (CVSE) officer impounded a Greyhound bus near Blue River at approximately 3 a.m. Tuesday. According to the ministry, the bus was travelling at 110 km/hr in a 50 km/hr construction speed zone. The CVSE officer impounded the bus due to the hazardous circumstances in which the operator placed himself, his passengers, and other motorists. It was an active construction zone but no one was working at the time. The officer escorted the bus to Blue River and remained on site. Passengers waited in the Blue River Husky restaurant for another bus and driver to continue the route. Greyhound was investigating the incident and was still not sure what happened, said a company spokesperson on Tuesday. Management would be on hand to meet the relief bus when it arrived in Kamloops and would apologize to the passengers, he said. The impounded bus was towed to Clearwater on Tuesday.

Nelson man steals donation jar NELSON -An employee at a local store struggled with a man who tried to steal a donation jar. On May 20, the Nelson Police Department received a 911 call from the staff at Valhalla Pure Outfitters on Baker Street when a man took a donation jar from a shelf within the store. “When the employee confronted the man, they struggled over the jar,” says a release issued by the NPD. “Even though the gig was up, the suspect tried to keep the ill obtained booty.” When police arrived they found the employee had recovered the jar and was standing by to assist officers. With an accurate description of the man who stole the jar, police located the suspect nearby. Nelson police would like to remind people that apprehending suspects does come with risks. “We urge citizens to call police and provide succinct, accurate information to assist police,” they say.

Yes, that is very important because the majority of people do need their prescriptions and it will especially help those with lower incomes.

Do you think it is important that generic brand prescription drug costs will decrease next year?

Isabelle Ohrling Eagle Creek

Very definitely. We are looking forward to that drop in prescription costs in my household, for sure. Every bit helps.

Of course I am. I have employee benefits now, but a lot of people don’t. If I were unemployed, I would need the lower prescription costs. Although, in some cases the brand names do work better.

Ray Carlson Horse Lake

Of course, absolutely. So many, like me, rely upon them, so it is important to keep prescription medications affordable.

Tipsy canoe incident reported to RCMP

Police

report On May 26, 100 Mile House RCMP and emergency services responded to a complaint of a canoe that had overturned in Lac la Hache in front of Lac la Hache Station Road. The female occupant from the canoe was recovered by a boat sent from shore.

She appeared to have been consuming liquor and was unco-operative with rescue personnel and she declined to be seen by an ambulance crew. A friend of this person agreed to take her and look after her for the evening. No other action is being taken. Lost tire causes incident On May 25, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a collision that

occurred on Highway 97 near Tatton Station Road. A south-bound Ford pickup truck lost a rear tire that collided with a Chrysler 300, which was following behind the pickup. The tire impact rendered the Chrysler inoperable. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Neither occupant was injured. Investigation determined that the lug nuts were loose on the rear

Fake $100 bills distributed in B.C. A small number of counterfeit $100 polymer bills have recently been detected in the Lower Mainland, so RCMP throughout the province are reminding the public to check all bank notes they receive. This can be done by checking one or two of the security features of the bills, including the new polymer series, and also by comparing suspicious notes against a genuine bill of the same denomination. Sgt. Don McLean, interim C.O. of the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment, says a little caution can go a long way when it comes to counterfeit prevention. “Businesses should be aware that this problem exists, and be careful about accepting $100 bills, especially without doing a comparison on them first.” RCMP federal media relations officer for British Columbia, Sgt. Duncan Pound, says protecting the economic integrity of Canada is one of the five

national strategic priorities for the RCMP. “Crime prevention is a cornerstone of the RCMP’s overarching approach to law enforcement, and working with the Bank of Canada to help educate the public about the security of Canadian bank notes is vitally important to us.” For more information on counterfeit detection, visit the website at www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes. Training materials on counterfeit detection are available by calling the Bank of Canada toll-free at 1-888-513-8212, but these can also be accessed or ordered from the website. Anyone with information about counterfeiting should contact the local police detachment, the Federal RCMP at 778-290-4510; or report it anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Relay for Life donations help local families By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle We all do it – hesitate making a donation because we aren’t sure how that money benefits us or our community. 100 Mile House resident Shannon Pennicott is proof that donations to the Canadian Cancer Society will benefit people we know in our community. Pennicott explains that while donations to the society do go into a big pot, the money goes out from there. Funding is available to families and is based on financial need. Money raised goes to research, equipment, specialized nurses, doctors and special programs and services, such as funding for help with travel

and accommodations for treatment session, as well as low-cost lodging in the larger centres. “I called it the Cancer Kingdom,” Shannon laughs. “Everyone in Vancouver is so fantastic and takes such good care of you – from the volunteers to the doctors.” Her husband, Mark, agrees wholeheartedly. The nurses are incredible, Shannon says, adding there are counsellors, nutritionists, and everything is explained to patients. Detailed, but easy to understand, brochures provide information on treatment (drugs and radiation), hotlines to access, family counselling, yoga, meditation and exercise sessions, and a library. There is financial help

with wig and breast prosthesis for those who can’t afford them, sessions on applying make-up, and followup phone calls from counsellors and nutritionists are just a few of the of the programs and services available to people. Other programs include Camp Goodtimes for youth aged six to 15, family afternoon events and retreats, and youth 15 to 18 years can choose an outdoor camp or build leadership skills, Shannon explains. The books and information papers they give you when you are just beginning is really amazing,” she adds. “A lot of questions and concerns are all covered – reading material, websites, and a multi-

Students offered advanced firefighting skills Carole Rooney Free Press

The School District #27 (SD27) trustees approved a firefighting course, which will offer students an advanced skill level beyond the basic course, at their April 24 meeting. School board chair Will Van Osch says he thinks it is “excellent” the district is able to offer the advanced course. “I think there is a need for it, and there seems to be quite a bit of interest from the students as well. It’s quite a popular course [and] we have a very good instructor [John Murray].” It builds on the basic prerequisite course, junior structural firefighter (JSF) 12, offered at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School this year. This new JSF: advanced course will review previously taught concepts and then continue on into units not yet covered, including simulated internal attacks, rapid intervention training, ventilation, and salvage

and overhaul techniques. The trustees’ rationale for offering these board authority/authorized (BAA) courses is the South Cariboo is currently protected by nine individual fire departments, all of which are actively recruiting new members – and many at risk of closure due to insufficient firefighters. For this reason, the JSF program is actively supported by five local volunteer fire departments. The many paid fire departments across the province also have some hiring blitzes underway to replace retiring firefighters, so this course

will provide the training and certification required to fill those jobs. The first basic firefighting course, also taught by Murray, included a forest wildfire training component, working with the province’s Wildfire Management Branch. Students finished that course with S100 Fire Suppression certification, which is the minimum requirement for wildfire fighting, and basic firefighter certification, which is an entry level requirement recognized at any fire department. The rigorous program training is evenly split between classroom

There are all different kinds of support groups, including pairing you up with a trained volunteer who has had similar experiences.” Donations help make possible the purchase of expensive diagnostic and treatment equipment. In her case, Shannon says multiple biopsies were done, along with a trip to the positron emission tomography (PET) scan, which is similar to a CAT scan. What a lot of people don’t know is that depending on your

treatment, you can get your chemo done locally, Shannon says, adding it saves families the financial and personal toll of disruptive travelling to other centres. Money for research is the big thing, she notes. Cancers, which were terminal in the past, can now be diagnosed and treated earlier with much greater success rates, she explains. Shannon is a director on the 100 Mile House Relay for Life Committee, which is hosting the relay in Centennial Park on June 8.

Students got a lesson in planting potatoes FOREST GROVE Shelly Carrera 250-397-2400

shellycarrera@hotmail.com

May 16 found 26 students from Forest Grove Elementary School setting out to visit Paul and Cindy Whitehead

at their market garden on Bradley Creek Road to learn about planting potatoes. When the school bus doors opened, the students came bounding out and ran excitedly to the garden to get started. Paul and Cindy had prepared the planting area, so the students just had to place the potatoes in the dirt and then cover them. Even school principal Shawn Nelson was

planting potatoes in his dress shirt and tie. In the process of planting, students found worms and a toad or two and wanted to know if they could keep them. Paul explained the critters had a job to do so they should be left in the garden. After an hour or so, 752 potatoes were planted and 26 very happy gardeners headed home. A good job

was done by all. The Whiteheads’ garden will also have peas, garlic, carrots and a lot of other fabulous produce in the coming season and you will find Paul and Cindy selling their wares at the farmers markets in 100 Mile House and Forest Grove. Farmers Market The Forest Grove Farmers Market officially started May 18 and will be held at the Forest Grove Community Hall parking lot every Saturday until the season ends. People who have homemade or homegrown products are encouraged to call Steve or Astrid at 250-3974103 to reserve their spaces, which are $5 to rent. The market is

open on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Legion bursary On May 6, a fivemember panel of the Forest Grove Legion, Branch 261 interviewed candidates for the $500 Florence Redpath and Rita Larsen Memorial Bursary. These two ladies were longtime members of the Legion and were committed to volunteering in their community. The bursary will help deserving youth of the community or the military to continue their education. Successful applicants have one year to use it. Forest Grove Legion president Jim Tindale says an unprecedented eight applicants were interviewed this year,

and due to the high calibre of the applicants, the panel’s decision was extremely difficult. The candidates’ grade averages and other accomplishments were considered. Some of them have already been accepted to various universities around the country. The successful applicant will be awarded the bursary at a presentation sometime in June. School news Fundraising for the new playground equipment is an ongoing project at the Forest Grove Elementary School. There have been coin and bottle drives and a hotdog sale will take place on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Forest Grove Public

Storage. If you have any bottles and cans that you would like to donate, drop them off when you buy your hotdogs. The new playground equipment they’re saving for will cost $37,000, and to date, $21,000 has been raised. The Forest Grove Legion is also helping with this endeavour. The school’s sports day and track meet will be on May 31 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. If you can volunteer for this event, contact the school at 250-3972962 and let them know. Be sure you come out and cheer everyone on. The school also hosted a tea party on May 28 to thank the many volunteers that make the school a better place.

CONGRATS AL!

Amazing Challenge cancelled due to low registration Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Due to lack of sufficient response, the 100 Mile District Hospice and Palliative Care Society’s The Amazing Challenge 3 event has been cancelled. The fundraiser was slated to be held June 2 and was expected to attract approximately 15 teams, but only six registered. John Tutte, society public relations committee member, says planning for the event began last

November, and cancelling it was a tough decision to make. “We didn’t want to cancel because too much work had been put into it. We feel terrible.” He notes those who entered seemed excited to participate and sponsors, Money Concepts, Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty, Invis and 100 Mile House Free Press offered generous support. He extends gratitude to them all and hopes to try again next year. Last year, the event raised approximately $3,000 for the local hospice.

Six area youth qualify for Team BC judo squad

Soccer playerS compete

Ken alexander Free Press

Several members of the Kokoro Judo Club in 100 Mile House will be competing for Team BC in the 2013 Canadian Judo Championships at the Olympic Oval in Richmond, July 4-7. Kokoro head coach Ian Briggs notes that normally each province has a set team and is allowed to have one person per weight class for men and women. “Because we’re the host province this year, they’re allowing more members on the [British Columbia] team. This means they are taking first, second, and in some cases, the thirdranked people in the province. Briggs explains a number of the club’s members have been attending tournaments where they get ranked according to where they place in the tourney. They have also attended various training sessions around the province and they get points for doing that. Then all of these points are tabulated according to the selection criteria for Team BC and they’re ranked provincially. Briggs says he will be attending as his club’s coach, but only to cheer his members on, as they

will be coached by the Team BC coaches. “I think they’re all pretty excited [about going to the nationals]. It’s a whole year’s effort to get on the team. “They have to watch their diet; they have to train not only at the club, but they also have to train on their own. Most of them are running three times a week, lifting weights and practising three times a week.” It’s an intense effort to get as far as they have, he says, adding that it’s pretty “cool” for the club to have this many placements on Team BC. Briggs gives the following review of the Kokoro competitors: • Reid Collinson, 12, green belt, Under 38 kilogram division: This is the first year he could qualify for Team BC, and he has been practising judo for six years. “He is very skilled, very athletic and probably one of the more seasoned competitors because he’s been at it for awhile, but he is the youngest member of the team. He is ranked number 2 in the province.” • Mason Sanders, 13, orange belt, Under 48 kg division: He has been practising judo for three years. Continued on A29

Several local soccer players competed in the Kamloops Slurpee Cup, May 18-20. Ashley Holyk played for the U13 Quesnel girls, while Megan Speers and Aylish Dunk played for the U17 Quesnel girls’ team, and Lydia Davidson played a game with the U18 Williams Lake girls. Curtis Craig-Green and Ryan Wallace played with the U14 Williams Lake boys. Reid Davidson and Masen Fernandes joined the European Football School U14 boys’ team.

Carriage driving calendar busy

arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It’s stacking up to be a busy season in the South Cariboo for carriage drivers. Huber Farm in 70 Mile House has a number of events slated for the coming months, which began with the BS & Drive Weekend, May 17-20. It included lessons, country drives, a field driving trial and heritage pleasure driving classes, with Dennis Huber as judge and Ken Huber as clinician. New this year is the Cariboo Road

House, Horse and Pony Show, hosted by the BC Welsh Pony & Cob Association, June 8-9. It will be a halter and performance open show, with judge Lewis McKim. The Cariboo Trails Combined Driving Event (CDE) and Driving Clinic are planned for July 19-21. It will feature a Bronze level CDE and a driving clinic, and judging will be done by Holly Brinker, Ken Mott and Sue Mott. The Cariboo Trails Field Driving Trials on Sept. 28-29 will cap off the season with a field driving trial

and heritage pleasure driving classes, with judge Kathy Stanley. “Anyone who has an interest in carriage driving will find all of the events interesting to be around and watch,” says key co-ordinator Ken Huber He adds the events are gauged to accommodate everyone from the beginner level to intermediate. “The sport is designed to bring people along in their skills as a driver. You’re not expected to jump in at the deep end of the pool when you can’t swim.”

Huber says he is looking forward to the new event in June, as the second day will feature a horse show with a full slate of English and western riding classes, and driving classes with junior and senior divisions. It will also serve as a qualifying event for the BC Heritage Circuit. All but the June event will be hosted by the Cariboo Country Carriage Committee. The contact for all events is Ken Huber, who can be reached at 250-456-6050, or e-mail huberx3@ telus.net.

for 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association. Sunrise Ford in 100 Mile House is holding the event between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the Save-On-Foods parking lot and all it will take is 10 minutes of your time. The more people who test drive a vehicle, the more money Ford of Canada will donate to the soccer association, up to a maximum of $6,000. However, if 300 people take test drives, Sunrise Ford will double the amount to $12,000. To sweeten the pot, everyone who drives

a Ford will have their name entered in a draw for a free 45-minute airplane ride, a 2014 soccer registration that is transferable to any child, or a soccer ball. Throughout the event, there will be a thermometer on site, tracking in real time, the number of test drives made and the money raised. This will be the only fundraiser for the club this year, says Werner Heine, soccer club sponsorship and communications director, and its success is important. “It will ensure our fields will be paid off

next year,” he says, adding the total bill for construction of the new 100 Mile Soccer Park amounted to $1.3 million. “All our efforts are on now to get 300 people to take a test drive, but we need to reach out beyond our typical soccer community.” He notes that only one person from each physical address is eligible to count for the event. As car seats will not be installed in the participating vehicles, there will be complimentary child-minding provided while people take a test drive.

Red Rock undefeated in league

Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League has already got a number of games under its belt, and the players in the five-team league are currently battling the weather almost as much as they are each other. Last year’s bantam team dropped out of the league this year, so the young players have been picked up by the other teams, which bodes well for the future of fastball in this community. Currently, the Red Rock Grill Avengers sit at the top of the standings with five wins in five games, while the Jakes Pub Old Buds are in second with three wins in four games. The Shuswap Defenders and Exeter Sporting Goods are tied in third with two wins in four

games, and the Sanford Dillman Hornets are still looking for their first victory after six games. Rain out On May 27, Exeter Sporting Goods and the Red Rock Grill Avengers were rained out after 3-and-a-half innings, with Exeter leading 6-2. The teams agreed to play oneand-a-half innings to finish this game before the start of their next regularly scheduled tilt on June 14. Schedule Sanford Dillman take on the Red Rock on May 29, and Exeter goes up against the Shuswap Defenders on May 30. Both games start at 6:30 p.m. All games are played at Lumberman’s Park beside the arena on Airport Road in 100 Mile House.

Athletes practising hard to reach goals From A27

“He is naturally gifted athletic; he’s a hard worker and skilled. He’s is overcoming his lack of experience with his determination and focus.” Noting Sanders didn’t participate in the selection process early on, Briggs says the 13-year-old won a major tournament in Prince George. After this tourney, Briggs says he proposed him for the provincial team. He is ranked third in B.C. • Paige Hall, 15, green belt, Under 57 kg division: She has been practising judo for four years and is ranked first in the province. “Paige is an incredible athlete. She won a gold medal in the last BC Winter Games. She is skilled, determined and a real superior athlete.” • Aiden Fentiman, 16, blue belt, Under 81 kg division: He has been practising judo for five years. “He’s also a wrestler and does well at that, too. He has improved the most in the club this year in terms of his sheer ability to compete. This year, he has started to manage his nerves, so he can competed to his ability. “We’re really pleased

A29

with the way his competing and we expect him to really well.” Fentiman is ranked second in B.C. • Richard Tracey, 17, green belt, Under 81 kg division: He has been practising judo for three years. “He also plays rugby. He is physically strong and very determined. To accomplish this in three years is very good.” Briggs adds he is very skilled, determined and works hard at every practice, and he’s excelling very quickly. Tracey is ranked third in the province. • Jesse Chamberlain, 17, green belt, Under 73 kg division: He has been practising judo for three years. “He is a hard worker, determined, focused and very skilled. He’s ranked third or fourth in the province, but they gave him a shot at it because he so skilled and he’s worked hard. He is in a very deep division.”

Briggs notes Chamberlain competes against brown and black belts, “So, he’s been at it for three years and is competing against people who have been at it for 10 years.” • Aven Briggs, 22, second degree black belt, Under 73 Seniors division: Coach Briggs son is ranked No. 1 in B.C. for the past six years. “This is his seventh Nationals. He has been training with Sensei Sudda at the Abbotsford Judo Club, which is one of the highest-level dojos in our province. He’s just trying to up his game a little bit.” • Ali Briggs, 18, first degree black belt, Under 52 kg division: She is training out of the University of Lethbridge and one of the main reasons she went there was because it is trying to become the Western Canada training centre. “The university was aggressively trying to recruit her, so they basi-

cally paid for her judo travel and other expenses. Her judo has come up so much; she trains seven days a week bench presses her weight – so strong and so skilled” She is ranked first in B.C. and third in Canada. “She has been to several Nationals and has

won four bronze medals. She desperately wants to break the bronze jinks; her objective is first or second.” Overall, coach Briggs says he is looking forward to seeing his club members compete, and adds they are all training extremely hard to reach their goals.

What are composite decking materials?

5115 Perkins Rd., Buffalo Creek

Composite decking materials (plastic/wood particles glued together) have taken hold of the market in recent years. Several companies use 90% recycled plastics which will help reduce waste. At present these are not recyclable when they need replacement. All composite decking materials rely on a type of adhesive or glue that bond all of the plastic and wood particles together. The life span of composite decking is around 25 years. There are around ten different companies producing composite deck materials with Trex being one of the first and widely known. These materials include decking and handrail systems and most companies offer different product lines that vary in color and consistency. One California company even offers a bamboo composite BamDeck which uses 30% bamboo and 70% recycled plastic. The cost of composite decking varies from $2-$4 per linear foot of decking board. Common sizes for composite decking boards are 12’, 16’, 18’ and some 24’ lengths are available from certain manufacturers. Try to design your deck so that no butt joints are required. Composite boards require spacing butt joints from 1/8”-1/4” for board expansion which can be unsightly.

Ron McMillan feature artist for June BRIDGE LAKE

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

Bridge Lake librarian Brenda Tillyer welcomes Ron McMillan to the library’s Community Showcase for the month of June. A full-time resident since retiring to Bridge Lake from Vancouver Island in 2010, Ron anticipated having more time to practise his skills. The self-taught woodworker, who “learned a lot from his mistakes,” eventually ventured into metalwork, and has created many unique pieces in both fields. “Recycled metalwork allows me to practise my welding skills, and put to use broken items and tools.” Most of his creations are given as gifts, and many have earned first place at Bridge Lake Fair. Executive elected Highway 24/Interlakes Lions Club’s last meeting until September is at Interlakes Hall on June 3, starting at 5:30 p.m., but the new executive will take over on July 1. President Leroy Wright will be assisted by first vicepresident Linda Bishop, second vice-president Don Charlton, secretary Carolyn Charlton and treasurer Darlene Furber. Directors at large, for two years, are Kathy Sanness and Monty Furber, and for one year, Ruth Marx and Al Bishop. The Lions look forward to seeing residents at various fundraisers during the summer. The majority of money they raise stays in Interlakes area, helping persons in distress and local nonprofits, so be sure to support them. Life celebration A Celebration of Life for Bruce (Kiwi) McIntosh, who passed away Sept. 25, 2012 at

the age of 70, is planned for 2 p.m. Interlakes Hall, June 15. Bruce was especially known as “Sheridan Solar Energy,” and also certified propane tanks. One of the original founders of ABC Snowmobile Club, and editor of Interlakes Snowmobile Club’s Newsletter, Bruce is dearly missed by his widow, Mieke, and family. They invite Bruce’s many friends and colleagues to join them in celebrating his life. Club meetings After the first week of June, most organizations recess for the summer. However, Bridge Lake Photo Group continues to meet at Bridge Lake School on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 7 p.m.. Deka crib games are played at Deka Fire Hall every other Friday. Everyone is welcome on June 7 and every second Friday thereafter.

Entry books Bridge Lake Fair entry booklets are now in all local general stores, at Horse Lake and Lone Butte Garden Centres and at the Donex photography counter. Folks call also call Marion Mickelsen at 250-5934354. Competitors win cash and points to three places, and the competitor with the most points also receives the Grand Aggregate Trophy and an extra $25.

Sad passing Deka residents were saddened to learn that Tom Foster passed away May 20, days before his 87th birthday. No service is planned. Tom and his wife, Joan, have been residents for several decades, and Tom will be deeply missed. Sincere sympathy is extended to Joan and their family.

Fossum and Gord Davie. Special congratulations go to Donna and Duncan Jarvis for their 50th wedding anniversary, June 1; for Ursula and Martin Scherrer’s 28th on the same day; and for Shelly and Carel Durand’s 32nd on May 30.

Calendar Call the writer for contact numbers. • Bridge Lake Community School Book Club meets noon, June 1 at Vidas

Restaurant at 108 Mile Ranch, at which time next year’s books will be chosen. Everyone is welcome. • Dann information meeting regarding Webb Lake development: 2 to 4 p.m., June 1 at Interlakes Hall. • Deka fire practice: 6:30 p.m., June 4. • Log Cabin Quilters annual general meeting is 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., June 5 at Interlakes Hall, and includes a potluck lunch.

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!

Preventing child abuse is LOOK everyone’s responsibility for these local flyers in this week’s

Did you know you have a legal obligation to report suspected child abuse? Fortunately, most children get the love, care and nurturing they need to feel safe and secure so they can have a healthy childhood. Sadly, though, there are some children who may be in danger of being abused or neglected. Whether they are our own children, a neighbour’s, or a stranger’s, all British

Talent search underway Musicians, filmmakers, photographers and chefs from across the province are invited to apply to take part in BC Day celebrations in Victoria in August. The Provincial Capital Commission’s Celebrate BC Day event on Aug. 5 will welcome an anticipated 10,000 spectators for a day of free, family friendly entertainment and activities at the picturesque St. Ann’s Academy National Historic Site on Belleville Street in Victoria. Festivities will feature the finest from the province’s talented creators and artists, collected through a province-wide public submission process. Applications from residents of all British Columbia communities will be accepted in four areas – music, food, film and photography – with an aim to provide a cross-regional representation of the arts and cultural sectors of B.C. Submissions are currently being accepted on the Celebrate BC website at www. c e l e br at e b c d ay. c om prior to June 15.

“A New Way To Listen To Radio”

Columbians share responsibility to look after the well-being of children and ensure they get the help they need. The Ministry of Children and Family Development receives around 30,000 calls a year from concerned citizens about children and youth who might be in need of protection. Anyone who suspects a child is being abused or neglected should call B.C.’s free, 24-hour Helpline for Children at 310-

1234 – no area code is required. Callers can remain anonymous and anyone can call – whether a child or teen in need of help, a friend, a parent or caregiver in crisis, or someone who suspects a child is being abused or neglected. The helpline is a fundamental resource for preventing and stopping child abuse and getting the children and their families the help they need. On the other end of the phone

is a child welfare worker who is ready to listen, help and take action. A 16-page handbook, Responding to Child Welfare Concerns: Your Role in Knowing When and What to Report, has been produced to help the public learn the warning signs and what to do when a child may be at risk. It is available in several different languages at www.mcf. gov.bc.ca/child_protection/ translated.htm.

JONES

Bruce Lyle

May 21, 1942 - May 9, 2013 Bruce Lyle Jones was born May 21, 1942 in Vancouver and passed away on May 9, 2013 following a courageous 11year struggle with kidney failure. Bruce was predeceased by his mother Lillian, father John, his sister Nelda and recently his brother Bob on March 30, 2013. He will be lovingly missed and always remembered by his wife of 25 years, Marguerite Willis. Bruce will also be missed by his sister-in-law Irma, nephews Doug (Diane), Steve (Donna), niece Ann (Hans), great-nieces, nephews and many friends. Bruce loved reading, camping, his computer, photography and shooting with his gun club buddies. He was a world traveller during his younger years and enjoyed watching the ducks, loons, birds and wildlife he viewed from our lakefront home on Sheridan Lake. Bruce was a very unique individual with an incredible witty sense of humour. He kept his uniqueness, his sense of humour and the sparkle in his eyes until he peacefully passed away. Bruce’s ashes will be spread along side his brother Bob at Rail Lake on the Labour Day weekend. A celebration of Bruce’s life will follow at a later date. Thank you to all the wonderful nurses, doctors, care givers, and support staff from Royal Inland Hospital, Vancouver General, Ponderosa Lodge and 100 Mile House Hospital. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family at www.100milefuneralservice.com

DAVIDSON

Carol-Lynn Sandra 1942 - 2013

In the springtime of her life and on the day the irises bloomed, God chose to recruit a new angel. Our wife, mom, sister and friend – Carol-Lynn Sandra Davidson, passed quickly through Heaven’s Gates, on 24 May 2013, to help God paint the skies. Carol-Lynn, oldest of three daughters born to Norm and Doris Kershaw, entered life 22 February, 1942 in Toronto, Ontario. At age four, her family moved west to Edmonton, Alta. In grade 12, the Kershaws moved to Richmond, B.C. where she met the love of her life, and soon-to-be husband, Jim Davidson. Carol-Lynn and Jim raised their two small children, first in Richmond and finally settled in their own-built home in Sicamous, B.C. It was in Sicamous that Carol-Lynn started her own enrichment with art classes, “letting the chips fall where they may.” As the years progressed, she received many artist awards and designations working in many mediums, but excelling in watercolour. Eventually, she even called herself an ‘artist’. Her works have been juried among the best and have been viewed around the world; including Australia, England and in the United States. Carol-Lynn also shared her passion, instructing many classes and encouraging all to “keep their brushes wet”. Quilting became a hobby and even more masterpieces were produced. Another move, this one to Watch Lake, B.C. before Carol-Lynn and Jim finally settled to their own newbuilt home in Armstrong, B.C. These moves gave CarolLynn the chance to meet and share her hugs and love with many people. Carol-Lynn is survived by her husband of 53 years, Jim; daughter Kathleen (George), son Ken (Barb), grandchildren: Jennifer, Roslyn, Kevin, Peter and Scott; her sisters: Patricia and Danita (Paul), plus many nieces and nephews. A Church service was held 29 May, 2013 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice. The family is contributing to children in a third world country. LOVE YOU LOADS!

MEAD

Ken Jerome “Uncle Buck” April 19, 1953 - May 13, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ken Mead after a courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by his mother Geraldine, father James, brother Mike, brother-in-law Graham and granddaughter Raelyn. Survived by his loving wife Jeanne; children Candice Palmer (Mike), Jason (Lillian) and Shane Cieckievic; Ken’s brother Kevin (Lorena); sister Brenda (Bruce); grandchildren Megan, Essai, Alyssa, Jamie and Shayla. He will also be greatly missed by nieces Angela, Kristin, Jennifer, Michelle, Jennifer and Laureen; nephews Kevin and Kyle (Spud); his in-laws Louis Pittet, Germaine, Pierre (Beatrice), Lucille (Paul), Suzanne Anderson (Philip), Jacques and numerous friends, and faithful companion Wahalla. Ken was a loving husband, a loyal friend who always had an encouraging word and eager and helpful hands. He was born in Vernon, B.C. but grew up in various places: Falkland, Kamloops, Quesnel, Prince George, Horsefly, New West, Oyama and Kelowna. Ken worked as a gas and plumbing inspector for the City of Kelowna and eventually moved to Bridge Lake to enjoy retirement. Ken founded and ran TNT, a fly tying club, from his garage in Kelowna for many years and his fishing buddies still make an annual fishing trip to the Nehalliston Plateau. Ken enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, hunting, kids, his dog, woodworking and working with his hands in general. Special thank you to Dr. Street and the medical staff at 100 Mile Hospital for all their care and caring. There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Rest in peace Ken, will miss you forever. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to: 100 Mile House Palliative Care Society, Box 399, 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0, or the SPCA.

Museum tells a history lesson Old red brick school became a courthouse, finally a museum

By Earl Cahill

he red brick building housing the Clinton Museum was built with bricks made locally in a plant situated near Cutoff Valley Creek and David Stoddart School. The building was first used as Clinton’s second school, replacing a smaller wooden structure and a few of our well-known pioneers have carved their initials into the back of the building. As enrolment increased, a larger tworoom school was built on the School District property between Dewdney and Smith avenues, but the red brick building was used as a school again for a few years in the late ’40s when enrolment outgrew the newer building. When the new school was built, the red brick building became a courthouse with Judge Matthew Begbie presiding at the earlier cases tried there. Around this time, pioneer C.J. Payne built an auto court (forerunner to the motel) naming it after the big pine tree on the property on the Cariboo Road on the corner of Smith Avenue. Mr. Payne had collected artifacts, and as his collection increased, he opened a

This B.X. Stage sleigh hauled hundreds of pioneers from 20 Mile House to Clinton during the winter months. The wheeled stage couldn’t climb the hill in the snow, so the sleigh was used for the long ascent. The sleigh is still in relatively good shape and sits in the outdoor displays behind the museum.

Clinton blacksmith shop was integral to keeping the stage coaches and freight wagons operational. The museum is located in the red-brick building on Highway 97 in downtown Clinton.

little museum. When he passed away in 1934, the business was passed on to his son, Charles, who passed the collection along to Mrs. Avis Choate when she organized the present South Cariboo

Historical Society in the early ’50s. Mrs. Choate started her museum in a vacant garage building between her home and the Anglican church, but she soon needed more space. So when

W.A.C. Bennett came campaigning for votes, she asked him if the province wouldn’t sell, for $1, the seldom used red brick courthouse building and Mr. Bennett was agreeable to the deal.

Mrs. Choate had a much bigger wheel put on her wheelbarrow and with the help of willing young volunteers moved the artifacts she had gathered into the museum’s present home in the red brick building. Mrs. Georgina Maisonneuve, who was teaching school here at the time, was instrumental in organizing the Historical Society, and Harold Mainguy became the first president. Mr. Mainguy was a pioneer and had been a teamster on the old Cariboo Road, driving between Ashcroft north to Soda Creek in the 1920s. He left diaries telling about meeting the CPR train in

Ashcroft at 4 a.m. If there were no passengers, he would go back to bed or milk the cow then putter around fixing trucks and tires. If Mr. Mainguy brought hay to Clinton, he would load Epsom salts for the return trip to be shipped out of Ashcroft. The Epsom salts were harvested from the underside of ice cut from the little lake just south of town. It was used in the manufacture of soda, which did wonders softening our hard water before detergents came on the market, and it was also mined in the same manner. Several lakes northwest of Clinton were manually harvested at minus 30-40 F temperatures.

His diaries also tell of his move to Williams Lake where he was a teamster on the Chilcotin Road with trucks, horses, wagons and sleighs, which would have been another cold job in the winter, but when he had problems, there always seemed to be a bottle of whiskey in his cargo When I joined the Historical Society about 30 years ago, I always found the old registers (1880-1900) from the Clinton Hotel interesting reading. My grandfather Dan Hurley and his brother, George, from Lillooet were frequent guests as were visitors from afar – Asia, Europe, the United States and Continued on B2

Hotel register tracks pioneers

From B1

Eastern Canada. Folks were interested in the Cariboo. Grandad had the Lillooet Clinton Stage Line and Uncle George was a teamster on the Cariboo Road from Ashcroft. My great uncle who had a ranch on the Lillooet Road supplied vegetables and meat to the Clinton Hotel for resale. One could trace the movements of the folks travelling the Cariboo Road as they would sometimes register their addresses as the place they had spent the previous night. In those days, some of those travellers may not have had permanent addresses. The hotel had a large stable located across the road and the number of horses requiring feed would be recorded beside the guest’s in the register. Volunteering at the museum, I always enjoyed visiting with descendants of some of the early visitors who were always so impressed with our little museum. The visitor’s book recorded visitors from around the world with compliments on our excellent collection of artifacts and photographs displayed. A group of dedicated volunteers operate the museum on donations and financial help from the Village which own the building. In 1999, the society paid $1 for the old Government Stable, which had been built in 1911 to stable horses used by police and road-building crews. It was moved across the back lane by volunteers who donated the required equipment for the job to set it on a cement pad behind the museum. Today, it houses several artifacts, including Dr. Sansom’s famous buggy, which had rear-wheel brakes, like an automobile, and a brake pedal on the floor. Dr. Sansom served the area surrounding Clinton, Ashcroft and Lillooet and had homes in each village where he would stay until his next call. There are many interesting artifacts displayed in cabinets built by former curator Mike Brundage. Beside all the maintenance

This buggy belonged to Dr. George Sansom who was Clinton’s first doctor in 1886. He used his state-of-the-art buggy during the summer months to help patients in Clinton, Ashcroft and Lillooet. It is housed in the old Government Stable, which was built in 1911 to stable the horses used by the police and road-building crews.

and work Mike did at the museum, he was a great attraction with his handlebar moustache and big 10-gallon hat. Visitors thought he was part of the display. He also told such interesting stories many folks returned (with their cameras) for a second visit. Health reasons made him retire. You’re greatly missed, Mike. Displayed in the

yard between the museum and the barn are several pieces of old farm equipment, a freight wagon (still in pretty good shape) and many more vehicles and pieces of old equipment. A recent addition has been a replica blacksmith shop, as the blacksmith played such an important role in village’s past. Charlie Pollard operated a

shop here as late as the 1940s. The blacksmith shop was the service station of the day and was essential to the operation of stage coaches and freight wagons. A good blacksmith could do wonders with his anvil and forge – shoeing horses, forging new parts and even being able to make repairs to some of the early automobiles. Clinton has an excellent supply of Cariboo history and a few older houses have survived over the years. The big house on McDonald Avenue behind the Country Squire Gift Shoppe was the home of James and Elizabeth Robertson through their many years of marriage, and is now home to Ted and Jacquie Pappas, was built in the 1860s. Another wellpreserved building is the old Palace Hotel, which is presently being restored. There are still a few old homes along our main street – the old Pine Tree house housed our first museum, Karen

and Bevan Miller’s home on the corner of Dewdney Avenue was a Chinese laundry moved to its present location to become the Anglican church manse. Our little old home (Cahills) was built about 1911, McConnell Accounting is housed in the old Botterill home, Jill’s Pottery Shop was once Hinkes’ Bluebird Café and the pioneer Barton family grew up in Roland Stanke’s big house on Carson Street. The Historical Society always welcomes new members and new volunteers usually

find this an interesting pastime. The museum appreciates receiving artifacts to display, donated or loaned. Thanks to former curators and volunteers, we have one of the best little museum in the country and it’s a credit to our Village. To learn more about our museum why not drop in for an hour or two. You won’t be disappointed, but if you are, you can complain to me. The museum will open on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Disney’s Beauty And The Beast Jr. a classic crowd-pleaser Carole Rooney Free Press

If you love musicals – or simply enjoy a good show – grab your tickets and mark your calendar for another stellar performance at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary School. This year, the drama students are presenting Disney’s Beauty And The Beast Jr., a classic favourite for theatre and movie buffs. Director Lisa Dugaro says the annual musical is always a popular attraction in the community. “In the past, it’s been a really big draw. This year, we chose Disney’s Beauty And The Beast Jr., partly because it is so well beloved.” The actors are also at an age where they grew up watching this Disney classic, Dugaro adds. The full length musical was put on at the school in 2007, but she notes this one will be a little different.

“It’s actually Disney’s Beauty And The Beast Jr., which is a bit shorter than the full-length broadway musical, and the arrangements are made with junior singers aged 12-14 in mind.” It has been cropped down from two hours to about an hour-long show, but Dugaro says it still contains all the songs popularized in the Disney movie, as well as two additional pieces - “Home” and “Human Again” - from the Broadway production. There are four actors playing Belle and two full casts, the director explains. With 38 students and “an abundance of talent” Dugaro says she wants to showcase them all, but notes there aren’t enough roles to go around. “We will have alternating days between those who are going to be the principal characters.” All of the background, chorus and villagers, will be on stage every night, and the second full cast will be there as extras.

It is Dugaro’s first production at the school, although she produced You Can’t take It With You and Alice in Wonderland at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, where she has taught drama for two years. “I’m really impressed with the students, who can already sing and dance. “The commitment of the students combined with the talent makes me feel this is really going to be a winner of a show.” The main performances are June 6, 7 and 8 with 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. performances each day in the school gym (with a theatre and rotating stage). Tickets are $10 at Donex, Didi’s Boutique, and at the door. Actor’s families, friends and anyone else who would like a premiere peek can opt for tickets to the final dress rehearsals at half price ($5) on June 4-5, with 7 p.m. shows only. However, seating is limited, so get those tickets early.

Cathy Cadrin 58234

May 17, was the day to find all the treasures you wanted along the South Green Lake Road. There were two residents, Jennifer Gehl and Joyce Dyck, having their own garage sales, as well as the South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGLVFD) welcoming more than 200 people who were having fun shopping for deals throughout the day. The SGLVFD sold more than 300 pies and it turned out to be a very successful fundraiser. The community contributed great items for sale and many thanks go out to those generous neighbours. Organizers are hoping people will start saving those treasures again and donate the same

Motel, May 17-20. Six carriages from Green Lake and as far as Slocan, Nelson and Vanderhoof showed up for field trial courses and dressage classes. The results for Level 1 were: first, Barb Lindsay; second, Betsy Naismith; third, Jenine Payne; and fourth, Terry Worsfold. Level 2 was won by Marion Roman. The trials consisted of all sizes of carriages manoeuvring around trees, cones, gates and various other obstacle courses in a specified time.

What are Private Health Service Plans and would my small business beneﬁt from having one?

A: Private Health Service Plans (PHSP) are a great choice

for Canadian companies (sole proprietors, partnerships and incorporated companies) and their employees. They deliver better benefits for less cost to the business and a tax-free benefit to employees. Simplified, a PHSP is a contract between a business and usually a third party administrator. Funds are paid into a PHSP by the employer and become a business expense. Medical expenses reimbursed to the employees are a taxfree benefit. Eligible medical expenses are virtually the same as those that are allowed for personal medical tax credit on your personal income tax return.

A: One of the best ways to use an income tax refund is to

pay down credit card debts which have the highest interest rates, saving you interest charges. A change in income or employment status could spell disaster without having an emergency fund. Use your refund to top up or open a Tax Free Savings account that can be used for emergencies. If you took out an RRSP loan then use the refund to pay down the loan. If that does not apply, then invest in your retirement by applying your refund towards next years RRSP contribution, saving you tax and increasing your savings. If you have no debt and feel secure in your savings, you may want to consider investing in an RESP for your children, which comes with a 20% federal matching grant on the first $2,500 per child per year. Grandparents may also want to consider contributing to their grand children’s RESP.

I was always very close to Mother but I was in the hospital for the last 6 months of her life and Mother stayed with my sister. During those 6 months, Mother changed her will and left everything to my sister. Can I challenge her will? A: There are several reasons why a court may decide to set aside a will. Sometimes, the reasons are obvious – but not always. The most obvious reason to set aside a will is when it was not signed properly. A will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses, both present at the time of signature. A will may also be changed under the Wills Variation Act. When will a court make changes to a will under this legislation? If the court decides that the deceased has not made “adequate provision” for the maintenance and support of spouse and /or children. Finally, a will may be set aside where the deceased was not mentally capable or was under the influence of someone (such as a sister) when the will was made. Challenging a will for this reason can be tricky because a court normally assumes that the deceased knew and approved of the will and was of sound mind. Thus, it is up to the person challenging the will to prove lack of capacity or improper influence. On the other hand, where suspicious circumstances exist, the person seeking to uphold the will has to prove its validity. In the facts described above, the unhappy sister might have several good reasons for attacking the will. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

They are sometimes called Platinum Security, Windows 360, Live Security Platinum, etc. These programs can infect your computer when you visit an infected web site. You will see a pop-up warning you that your system may be infected and will give you the option to ‘continue’ or ‘scan’ as well as the usual ‘cancel’ button. In most cases, pressing any button on the pop-up will install the infection. These pop-ups need to be closed with the red X in the top right of the window. You can also receive the infection when you install many free online toolbars, video or audio codecs, or system speed-up tools. Once infected, the computer needs to be cleaned. This requires that the hard disk be removed and not booted into Windows, so that it can be aggressively scanned to remove the infection.

Cameron Ross Q:

Do you have a question for our experts?

Who can use their RRSPs to help with a downpayment?

First-time home buyers can. They are a purchaser on a purchase contract who has never owned a home before, even if their partner has and is going on the purchase with them. If either has not owned a home for the past five years, then you also meet the description of a first-time home buyer. Many potential first- time home buyers have saved up for a downpayment on a home and don’t even know it. Designed to help first-time buyers get into home ownership, the federal Home Buyers’ Program lets you access tax-free monies for use towards the purchase of their first home. Here is how it works. As a first-time homebuyer, you are allowed to withdraw up to $25,000.00 from your RRSP tax free, but it can’t be from a locked-in plan. You must adhere to the repayment plan: • Begins the second year following the year of withdrawal • You have up to 15 years to repay, and each annual repayment must be at least one-fifteenth of the total withdrawal, otherwise you have to include each repayment amount as income for that year. A detailed booklet is available on the Canada Revenue Agency website. Contact me for more details!

Little Britches Rodeo a great success

Ken Alexander

year, Little says organizers appreciate everyone who did come out to lend a hand.

Free Press

The 47th Annual Little Britches Rodeo in 100 Mile House on May 18 was a great success, with a pretty good crowd, a lot of competitors and great prizes, says Denise Little. The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club vice-president adds it was one of the biggest in the terms of competitors in the 10 years she has been with the club. “We had 34 entered in mutton bustin’ and 102 in the main rodeo. It was a long day, starting at 9 a.m. and prizes were all done and we were finished by 7 p.m. It rolled along pretty good.” Little notes that it was a good day for a rodeo. “The weather was great. We prayed for no rain and that’s what got, so I felt we were very blessed for that. And there were no injuries, so that is always great.” Competitors and their families came from all over British Columbia. Little says there were a couple of competitors from Williams Lake and 150 Mile

House, as well as one from Lac la Hache and a couple from 100 Mile House. Noting the Little Britches Rodeo never attracts many South Cariboo competitors, the club vice-president says she doesn’t know why this is the case. The Little Britches Rodeo is the Outriders Club’s main

fundraiser of year, Little says, adding organizers won’t know how much they did until all of the bills are in and paid. “Normally, this is our fundraiser for the year. This helps us put on the clinics, and allows up to put on shows even if we are going to go into the red on them.

It also helps to do upgrades to the grounds and different things like that.” The sponsors pay for all of the prizes for the competitors, she says, adding the youth were extremely pleased with the prizes they got this year. While she notes volunteers were down a bit this

BCRA Rodeo provided entertaining weekend

Ken Alexander Free Press

Hosted by the South Cariboo Rodeo Club (SCRC), the two-day BCRA rodeo in 100 Mile House on May 19-20 was “absolutely awesome.” Those are the words from SCRC president Randy Brodoway. “We didn’t get a complaint from one competitor. We got nothing but compliments on how [the rodeo] was run and how it was put together.” Brodoway says they were very lucky with the weather this year. “Last year, it was so cold everyone was wearing parkas. This year, Sunday was so nice and sunny and hot, and Monday wasn’t quite as warm but it was still really good.” He adds the crowds were great both days, but especially on Sunday. “We were shoulder to shoulder; it was packed. Monday wasn’t quite as busy, but that’s OK because we had a good crowd.” Noting the sponsors were great, he says the club couldn’t have been able to put on the great show without the help of the sponsors. “They were all awesome.” The VIP tent, which Brodoway initiated last year when the club hooked up with the BCRA, is the club’s unique way of looking after the sponsors, he says, adding they gave the main sponsors jackets as a way to thank them for the support. There were a couple

100 Mile House roper Ty Lytton placed third in Tie-down Roping with a time of 13.6 seconds for a $171.08 paycheque during Monday’s performance of the BCRA Rodeo. The South Cariboo Rodeo Club hosted the 100 Mile House two-day event.

of injuries on Sunday and both happened one after the other in Junior Steer Riding. “One girl had her kidneys stepped on and she was pretty sore, but she came back and rode in the barrels during the slack that evening. “There was one young guy got his leg stepped on and suffered several breaks. We shipped him off to Kamloops where he had an operation and got his leg put back in place.” As far as the financial side of the rodeo went, Brodoway says the club barely broke even. “We just held our

own. We’re going to have to work a little harder; we lost a couple of sponsors, so we have to work on getting a few more. He adds the club is going to have to raise its admission prices next year. “Every other rodeo raised their prices this year, but we didn’t. So instead of $10 per person and $5 for seniors and youth, we’re going to go to $12.50 and $7.50. “We have to keep up with everyone else – stock contractors’ price went up, BCRA’s prices went up and everybody’s prices went

up – so we have to do the same.” Brodoway notes it’s still a good value for four to five hours of entertainment. Stock contractor happy Dave Atkinson of Diamond D Bulls, who provided most of the bulls and the bucking cows for the rodeo, says he was happy with his rough stock. “Some the stock did good and some of the riders did good - it was a great rodeo. It was entertaining and that’s what the main thing is for us.”

Atkinson also did the bull fighting along with Earl Call of C+ Rodeos who provided some bulls and all of the bucking horses. “We [Atkinson and Earl and Roy Call] work together all summer going to various rodeos.” One of the great stories of the weekend was 150 Mile House cowboy Colton Manuel riding a bull named Ralph to a third-place marking on Saturday. Atkinson says it was Ralph’s first trip back to the arena after breaking his leg two years ago when he was fighting with a bunch of bulls. “It was his first rodeo back as a bucking bull and I was pretty impressed with him. I guess all of the vet work we did on him and all the money we spent fixing him up worked out.”

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre is in dire need of some supplies and necessities to help its growing number of clients. Office co-ordinator Sylvia Peniuk says the centre currently has a very low supply of feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, razors, shampoo/conditioner and soap. It is also really running short on gently-used summer clothing, kitchen dishes, utensils, cups, glasses, pots, pans and bedding. What it does not need right now is any larger items, such as furniture or winter clothing. Peniuk notes there is no space available to store them at the centre, so it can’t accept those.

Dear Canimites, It’s a verdant world out here, painted with a thousand shades of green. Yellow Arnica carpets the ground in open woodlands, blending with the purple of Clematis, Fairy Slippers and Early Blue Violets. The Saskatoons have shed their blooms and the fruit is setting nicely. The insects managed a surprising feat of pollination consider-

ing that the week after the blooms appeared was marked with heavy rain, cool weather and gusty wind. I’m happy they did. Goodbye sweet crib Under cloudy skies and to the distant rumble of thunder, and with the shaggy dog, Bailey, staring balefully in through the window, crib players celebrated the end of a fun season within bright and snug “Margo’s Cabin.” Margo Wagner served up barbecued delectables, while the group provided salads, rolls and desserts – a feast to the eye and to the palate. This year, the group played for 19 evenings. Anyone who played 10 or more times was eligible for the prizes. Continued on B10

Annual plant and bake sale coming up

To put everyone on an even footing, a personal average was determined by adding the person’s total score for all evenings played, then dividing by the number of evenings in which they played. Lynne Baker topped the list with a 572.5 average. The second-place slot was a “squeaker” with Doug McGregor slipping by Vicar Tyson Mastin by one-10th of a point at 568.1. Better watch out next year, Doug. Tyson is Minnesota born and bred. A common saying in those parts is “Survive Minnesota and the rest of the world is easy.” Terry Wagner collected the black-and-white fellow with the smile

and the peculiar odour, as fate dished out a hopeless number of “skunks.” Planter and bake sale The annual Community Club Planter and Bake Sale fundraiser will be at the Canim Lake Store this coming Saturday (June 1) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Check out the neat swan planters donated by woodworker Doug Pendergast and the designer residences for birds donated by crafter couple Yvette and Doug Stark. Pick up a pie or other baked creation from the loving hands of the good women at Hawkins and Canim lakes. Heck, why not have beef-on-a-bun

Community Band closes season with benefit concert 100 Mile Community Band, directed by Jack Fellner, presents its final concert for the year in Martin Exeter Hall on June 9 at 2 p.m. Admission is by donation at the door with the funds going to the South Cariboo Health Foundation. The program will consist of a variety of music, from concert band to jazz, with an emphasis on big band music of the ’40s and ’50s. There will be vocal and instrumental solos. A string orchestra, directed by Curtis

Wolfe, will also perform. Everyone is welcomed and you are sure to have a good time. It also helps a good cause. The Community Band has developed these past years to become a delightful group of players from all walks of life – from secretaries and health technicians to medical doctors. All of whom enjoy getting together to play in an ensemble and learn more about the intricacies of music making.

at the same time and a good cup of coffee. All proceeds go to the Community Club. Inside the store, you’ll find Granny Grace’s tasty fresh baked bread. I can guarantee you it toasts up to perfection. Mike Palka of Eagle Creek will also be at the event with his line of handcrafted patio furniture, including a double settee, ideal for homes and cottages here in lake country. Mike will have other items on hand, including his bat houses, which have been much in demand as the mosquito season intensifies. Bits and bites • Folks at the west-

ern end of Canim have been seeing a lot of sandhill cranes lately. Vicki Shirran has two groups of three on the farm each day, moving closer to the houses and enclosures than ever. The dogs let them be, so the birds are quite tolerant to the family as well. The cranes are opportunistic feeders with a diet that includes seeds and berries, as well as living critters. So, Vicki has seen them in the bush as well as the pastures, paddocks and wet areas. • The Cariboo Regional District is having its board meeting in Lac la Hache June

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home When 16-year-old Elliott Reid steps in front of the television cameras on the evening of June 1 as a co-host on BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend telethon on Global BC, he will be able to speak from experience. The teen, who recently moved from Tumbler Ridge to Dawson Creek, has been a patient at the hospital since he was seven. Elliott was twice airlifted from Tumbler Ridge to BC Children’s Hospital when he suffered heart damage caused by a strep infection. He has had heart surgery at the hospital twice, once spending several days in the hospital’s pediatric Intensive Care Unit with his chest open while doctors monitored him for infection. Following the surgeries he received followup care at a pediatric clinic in Prince George. The clinic, at University Hospital of Northern British Columbia, was equipped with funding from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital. The clinic receives over 3,500 patient visits annually, saving families who live in and around Prince George the cost and inconvenience of a trip to Vancouver. “I love going to Vancouver now to participate in Miracle Weekend,” Elliott says. “But I know it was always a big hassle for my parents to have to take me all the way to Vancouver when I was sick.” Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC, says one of Child Health BC’s goals is to relieve families of the burden of travel. “We’re working with caregivers all over BC to ensure children across the province receive care in a consistent manner and, ideally, close to home.” Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo, Prince George and Prince Rupert have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits the Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects, advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played elliott with Global BC host steve Darling

a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the

hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “We are building a new hospital, but in the meantime we have to make sure we continue to provide BC’s kids with the very best in care today,” says Gold. “Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference. Elliott Reid is proof of that.” Elliott’s father, Tyler Reid, agrees: “BC Children’s Hospital has done so much for Elliott so we’re happy to help the hospital in any way we can. And it’s certainly more enjoyable to make the trip to Vancouver so that we can help other kids than it was when we were scared for Elliott’s life.”

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

Darrell Jones, President OFG
