Owen Ross gives it his best effort in the shot put event at the 100 Mile House Elementary School Track & Field Meet on May 29. The young athletes were blessed with sunny skies and warm temperatures.
District of 100 Mile House councillors voted to give themselves and the mayor a pay raise at their May 21 council meeting. Noting the remuneration and expense reimbursement package was included in the 2013-17 five-year financial plan, council unanimously passed the Council Remuneration & Expense Bylaw, which will bring this council’s annual remuneration and travel and meeting per diems more in line with communities of a similar size. As of June 1, Mayor Mitch Campsall’s annual remuneration is pegged at $15,000 – of which, $5,000 is an allowance for expenses. Councillors will get annual payout of $7,500, and $2,500 of that will be an allowance for expenses. The package also Continued on 4
B.C. rejects Northern Gateway pipeline Carole Rooney Free Press
Many First Nations, environmental groups and others are applauding the provincial government for stating in its final written submission to Ottawa that it does not support the Northern Gateway (NG) Pipeline Project. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA-elect Donna Barnett notes that as it now stands, she won’t personally support proposed twin pipeline either until her government’s five “stringent” conditions have been met. These stipulations were set down to address environmental concerns, she notes, in order for British Columbia to consider allowing the pipelines into and across the province carrying hazardous bitumen.
Conditions not met, environmental risk cited In its submissions and at panel hearings, NG did not satisfactorily answer B.C.’s substantive questions about the project route, spill response capacity and financial structure, Barnett adds. “The big concern as I understand it – and I think we all should be concerned – is the marine oil response, the prevention and recovery system for B.C.’s coastlines. That is so important to be put in place.” Some of the other key issues are legalities around Aboriginal and treaty rights, she explains, as well as monetary compensation for the province.
“To me, the financial package is always important, but the most important part of the whole thing is to prove that you have mitigation in place in case of oil spills.” However, NDP Leader Adrian Dix says the B.C. Liberal government’s argument carries no weight because it signed away decision-making authority to Ottawa in 2010. “We know Ottawa continues to support the project, so saying ‘No’ today is a toothless gesture and the B.C. Liberals know it.” While his party doesn’t support the pipeline either, Dix notes that if the government intends to stop the pipeline from being built, it should withdraw from the agreement for federal final approval of the project.

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School graduate Jillian Matlock was ecstatic to receive the Governor General’s Medal for her academic achievement. It was presented by School District #27 superintendent Mark Thiessen at the graduation ceremony on May 24.
Pipeline potential not ruled out However, Barnett explains provincial licenses would still be required for the project to move ahead, but she also has confidence in the federal review process. “I do not believe the federal government is going to risk the environment, any [more] than the provincial government would.” While the feds will make the decision, they do so in consultation with the province, and the MLA-elect says she believes the feds will respect that input, as well as the scientific evidence. The potential for a spill leaves the pipeline not only a “big risk” to the province and the environment, but also to the Canadian taxpayers, Barnett says, adding all will become the ultimate “losers”

Findlay Meats gets development permit for abattoir Ken Alexander Free Press
At its May 21 meeting, District of 100 Mile House council authorized the issuance of a Highway 97 and Horse Lake Road Corridor development permit to Findlay Meats Ltd. The permit would
allow the company to construct a 12- by 12- by16-foot metal building, additional chutes and fencing, and ground preparation to accommodate the placement of a mobile abattoir on its property. The mobile abattoir became a reality when
then agriculture minister Norm Letnick announced the news in 100 Mile House on Feb. 22, after several years of intense lobbying by Cariboo-Chilcotin MLAelect Donna Barnett and local abattoir advocates Christine Jordaan and Diane Wood. The abattoir will
reinstate a local capacity for licensed slaughter of beef, lamb, pork and goat, and it can facilitate processing of at least eight head of cattle a day. In a memorandum to council from District planner Joanne Doddridge, it was noted the proposed development is consistent with
the Official Community Plan and applicable zoning requirements. Her memorandum stated the proposed development appears to address all applicable permit guidelines, and is required in order to accommodate the abattoir facility so the full range of meat process-

included a one per cent annual remuneration increase for the mayor and four councillors until further changes are necessary. Campsall says it has been six years since council has had a raise. It’s less that the costof-living rate for the past five or six years, he adds. “We went through the worst of the economic downturn and we didn’t take a raise. It’s sort of a catch-up; it’s not really close, but that’s OK, we’re happy.” Campsall says he believes the increase is reasonable. Noting they looked at other communities, he adds 100 Mile House council is somewhere in the middle. “We’re not the highest and we’re not the lowest.” Regarding the annual one per cent remuneration increase, Campsall it avoids having to go “through the ritual every year of determining whether we should raise it or not.” If the cost of living stays at zero for four or five years, he says they would have to look at it again. As for the expense reimbursements, the mayor says he can’t remember when that has changed. “It has to be 10 and maybe 15 years since it was changed. It’s pretty out-dated that one.” • When travelling for meetings, courses, etc., council members will be paid $71.80/day for meals, which includes taxes and gratuities. • The incidental daily
allowance (telephone calls, photocopy/fax charges, cleaning or repair to clothing) will be $17.30. • For each outof-town committee meeting, seminar or convention as a repre-
sentative of the District, council members will be entitled to $75 for less than four hours and $150 for more than four hours. • Travel costs require receipts and include air fare at the economy
rate. When travelling by car, the reimbursement will be equivalent to air fare or mileage – which ever is the least amount. • Actual transportation costs, including fares, rents, fees and charges for travel to

ing capacity can be restored to the South Cariboo. Doddridge noted the new construction will be minimal in size and scope, finished to match the existing building on the site, and constructed with a high degree
of visual sensitivity to the surrounding neighbourhood and to Horse Lake Road traffic. The development permit will expire two years after the date it is issued in accordance to the Local Government Act.

board recognizes the school trustee role is that of a public servant and is not a paid position, but that not all required meetings occur outside of normal working hours. This can cause loss of other jobs or cause a trustee to be unemployable, a deterrent for potential candidates to run in a trustee election. Van Osch reminded trustees they did not need to finalize all the details immediately, but rather hammer out a proposal to send to stakeholders for input. “I’m hearing that nobody really wants to terribly increase the amount trustees are getting, but we don’t want to sell ourselves short and end up being further behind than we are already.” He suggested a middle ground might be the answer, with a smaller decrease in the annual stipend. Guenther gave a notice of motion for the June meeting where she will propose delving deeper into the matter before moving forward with any policy changes.

CRD reviews land-use bylaws
Wednesday, June 5, 2013 100 Mile Free Press
Outbuildings, B&Bs, setbacks considered
The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is reviewing its Land Use Regulatory Bylaw for updates. These involve aspects from expanding the number of allowable bedrooms in a B&B from two to four, to allowing ancillary buildings on lots with-
out residences. The board will review the numerous aspects under a prioritization made by Area L Director Bruce Rattray, who staff noted in preparing the potential amendments was “appreciated” for his role in anticipating public acceptance of previous bylaws.
Other items for potential changes include allowing agricultural uses in land reserves and text amendments to various Official Community Plans (OCPs). Some of these will require public hearings, and others will not, but the review has been
ongoing since originally suggested by staff in September 2012. In addition, some other land-use bylaw recommendations stemming from the Committee of the Whole (CoW) were suggested to the board for further review and consideration.

Those include allowing a porch to extend further into the usual 7.6-metre setback, so a garage is not typically the prominent feature. They also recommend removing zone-specific bylaws permitting up to two recreational vehicles to be parked for up to six months for non-paying guest accommodations on properties with principal dwellings. The CoW proposals also suggest providing for Independent Power Projects (IPPs) and steel storage containers, and changes to correlate existing noise use bylaws in areas where dog kennel operations are currently allowed. For more details and the complete list of bylaw components suggested for review and changes, visit the CRD website at www.cari boord.bc.ca.

Honours student will go to UVic From 3
“I know I could have laid back. I know I could have had more fun, but it would have ‘bit me’ later on.” Up next for this honours student is the University of Victoria (UVic) in September, where she is accepted into the science program. There, she intends to fuel her interest in biology and begin pursuing a career in some field of medicine. “I am really interested in medicine and physiotherapy, so I’m going to get my bachelor’s degree to start, and then we’ll see. Med school is a long way away, so we’ll just see how I like the sciences.” She can also hone some of her other skills
there, too, as she notes UVic has a big rowing team. “I’m planning on rowing recreationally, not on varsity. The coach recommends doing 15 hours of classes [maximum] and I’ll be taking 26, so that’s not really going to work for the first couple of years.” Jill adds she is “definitely an outdoors person” who loved growing up in the South Cariboo, which she says has “molded who I am,” and she hopes to return home or work in Northern British Columbia after she completes her education. Crediting her teachers and principal for much on her success, she notes it was great to graduate alongside many classmates she
has had since the primary grades. What is her advice for younger students who may feel discouraged because they’re strug-

Boulevard getting an upgrade
Ken Alexander Free Press
Folks have probably noticed the work that has been underway on the boulevard in front of the community hall on Birch Avenue. The work is part of
a downtown beautification project the District of 100 Mile House put in its five-year financial plan earlier this year. The three-year boulevard and shoulder upgrade will see the uprooting, replacement
and redesign of the overgrown plants. The upgrade around the community hall includes one lot north and south of the hall, this year. It will move on to Third and Fourth streets, including paving from First to Fourth

streets in 2014; and finish up from the Fields store to First Street in 2015. District director of operations Garry Laursen says the first phase of the project has a budget of $60,000 and the work should be completed by the end of June. Laursen notes Bree Contracting Ltd. started removing the old dead vegetation, which had reached the end of its usable lifespan and a couple of large trees that were rubbing against a building, about a month ago. The crew recently removed the three concrete pads and the benches that sat on them. They also removed all of the planter curbs, and a lot of concrete in that area,
he adds. K2 Concrete, out of 83 Mile, is doing the cement work, as forms went in last week and they poured the cement on Monday. Finishing off the brick work will be next on the agenda. Laursen says there will be a little bit more room for plants at the north end of the plaza in front of the hall. He adds the trees and plants have been ordered and are sitting at the local nurseries waiting to be planted later this week or next week. Currently, he is waiting for the new, powder-coated metal benches, which will have small tables attached to them. “It should all be looking pretty good by the end of June.”

National energy strategy important
L
ast month, Canadian premiers provided a public update on interprovincial efforts to develop a national energy strategy. Missing from public discussions so far is any reference to the stakes – and potential roles – for municipalities in a Canadian energy strategy. There are strong arguments for municipalities to become involved. Rising public sector energy costs and community energy security questions – as well as local economic and environmental concerns related to energy use, production and transportation – mean municipalities have important interests in Canadian energy policy. Energy security is a growing concern for Canadian communities. Dependence on imported oil leaves public sector organizations, businesses and residents susceptible to fluctuating prices and concerns about supply security. Energy poverty – when households spend over 10
per cent of income on energy the Mauna Loa Observatory costs – is a direct problem in Hawaii reported the confor a growing number of centration of carbon dioxide Canadians. in the atmosphere has reached Globally, many countries are 400 parts per million.

GUEST SHOT
obody should have been surprised the B.C. Liberal government would turn two thumbs down to the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project the way it stands now. The $5.5-billion project proposes to construct two pipelines stretching 1,177-kilometres from the Alberta oil sands to a tanker port on the North Coast of British Columbia. It will have the capacity to move 525,000 barrels of oil per day. Last week, the provincial government sent its final written submission on the proposed pipeline to the federal Environmental Review Panel, stating it did not support the project for a number of reasons. The letter stated Northern Gateway didn’t answer any of the provincial government’s five major concerns, which were outlined at the beginning of the review process. To get the B.C. Liberal government’s stamp of approval, Northern Gateway would have to provide the following: the environmental review needs to be passed; a world-leading marine oil spill prevention and response plan; a world-leading practices code for land oil spill prevention and response; First Nations opportunities and treaty rights must be respected; and B.C. must receive a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits. While some people may think these demands are not specific enough to carry significant weight, the fact remains they are worthwhile conditions to put on the table before supporting the proposal. After all, Northern Gateway has conceded it has not done several risk assessments and admitted spills happen and it has had a history of spills during the past decade. So, the environmental risks are real and it appears that an occurrence of a spill is not a matter of “if,” but rather a question of “when” and “where?” Without getting some movement from Northern Gateway on spill response on B.C. soil and along the coastline, the B.C. Liberals would be foolish to approve the project. As for the demand for respect of First Nations opportunities and treaties, it should be a given because most of the pipeline will be placed in their territories. If there was a major spill, they would be impacted first and foremost. B.C. should definitely get benefit for providing the transportation corridor because if there was a major spill, we know who would be paying for the cleanup. Perhaps the times are changing. Perhaps the days of oil barons being able to have their way regardless of the risks or not having to share the profits are long gone. It doesn’t mean the pipeline project won’t eventually be approved, but the proposal might look a lot different than it does today.

for Canadian communities, as well as opportunities to address imbalances in the relationships between municipalities and other orders of government. Alternative, renewable and low-carbon energy production is rapidly growing. Jobs and economic activity in the clean energy sector are increasing, and a comprehensive national energy strategy could help municipalities capitalize on these new opportunities. An overarching strategy to encourage co-operation toward common goals, such as climate change mitigation, energy security, environmental sustainability and a more diversified economy will benefit all Canadians. It will be stronger if Canada’s municipal governments, which have such important stakes and expertise to contribute, are part of the process.

Time to take stock of parliamentary system To the editor: The reprehensible behaviour of a few senators in the Senate has caused many Canadians to call for the abolition of that part of our government system. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is demanding the Senate be abolished. The first part of the discussion is we know laws conceived in anger and outrage and then passed in haste are often poor laws. We should be equally suspi-
cious of judgements founded on outrage. Abolishing the Senate may be a good idea but no one knows for sure. Since many of us are largely unaware of what the Senate does, and is intended to do, it follows most of us might hold opinions on the matter but not a lot of knowledge. Perhaps we should determine what it is delivering, what it is supposed to deliver and then decide whether it is delivering what it
is supposed to deliver. Can it be reformed so that it can deliver? The second part of the discussion is the matter of the technical process for abolishing the Senate. That is an entirely different matter and the pathway is far from clear. For Mr. Mulcair to loudly trumpet his intention to “roll up the red carpet,” indicates shocking ignorance or profound arrogance. Some tell us the Senate could be abolished by a constitutional
Opportunity to support veterans missed To the editor: I thought you’d like to know that recently Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod voted against Canadian veterans by opposing motion M-422, which called on the federal government to fix The Last Post Fund. The Last Post Fund is supposed to ensure no veteran goes without a dignified funeral and burial because of a lack of financial means, yet too many veterans in need are being excluded. Veterans applying for assistance have faced staggering rejection rates of more than 66 per cent and all but a few veterans who served since the Korean War do not even qualify. That is no way to treat the courageous men and women who have fought and sacrificed so much for our country. While Budget 2013 did increase the fund-
O
ing for funerals under the Last Post Fund, it did nothing to fix its outdated criteria. No more veterans will qualify despite the increase in funding for a funeral. That’s why motion M-422 called on the government to accept the recommendations of The Royal Canadian Legion, successive Veteran’s Ombudsmen and their own officials to fix it. This is not a partisan issue. It is something that all members regardless of party affiliation should have been able to support. Yet, Mrs. McLeod voted against it. If you’d like to ask her why, you can reach her office at 613-995-6931. I’d be happy to speak with you as well, and my number is 613-992-8655. Judy M. Foote, Liberal MP Random-Burin-St. George’s
amendment. To pass that amendment would require either seven provinces with 50 per cent of the population or unanimous consent. They aren’t sure which. Another person states that in addition to provincial agreement, the Senate would have to vote itself out of existence. I think dealing with the Senate in isolation isn’t the best idea. Consider that many people are also not happy with our first-past-thepost system of electing members
of Parliament. Let’s talk about the whole thing. We’ve had the same system for 146 years and it has worked well. But time changes circumstances. Now might be the perfect time to take stock of what we’ve got and see how we can make our system of government even better. Murray Todd, president Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal Riding Association
Team brought prestige to tourney To the editor: There was a wonderful moment in the recent World Hockey Championships and all the credit for it must surely go to our commentators. It came, of course, when Team Canada was eliminated by Team Sweden. Now, Team Sweden may have emerged victorious where the actual deciding game was concerned, but our commentators were not deceived. They know what country really reigns supreme and they proceeded to demonstrate that fact by stripping the remaining sides of the prefix, “Team,” in the rest
of the commentary, putting those Finns, Swedes, Swiss and Uncle Sam in their proper places. It’s only Team Canada’s
involvement in the tournament that gives it its cachet.
Thanks for the support To the editor: Many thanks to everyone in 100 Mile House who took time and trouble to help me. As a visitor new to Canada, who is isolated and alone in a house in the woods without transportation, it meant more than I can say. I’ll never forget your extraordinary patience, kindness, and generosity. I wish you all the best. Madeleine Barrett 100 Mile House

ne of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after British Columbia’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised on May 31 when the B.C. Liberal government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction

is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact, there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

the province RIH wing to soar again
KAMLOOPS — A wing of the fourth floor at Royal Inland Hospital may soon be open to patients. The north wing has been used for storing medical devices temporarily but, with work continuing on the entire sterilization section for that equipment, the spot won’t be needed much longer. Using the area for patient care will help increase capacity, said Marg Brown, RIH’s health-services administrator. Other methods to boost available space for patients include improving all the steps from admitting a patient through treatment to discharge — what hospital staff refers to as access and flow — and communication between all health-care professionals dealing with a person who has become a patient. The Interior Health Authority has also issued its request for proposals to expand surgical services to create another operating room.
Railway faces civil suit
BURnS LAKe — The Wet’suwet’en First nation (WFn) east of Burns Lake filed a civil claim against the Canadian national Railway Company (CnR). The lawsuit was filed on April 19, 2013 in the B.C. Supreme Court by Wet’suwet’en Chief Karen Ogen on behalf of all members of the WFn. The WFn are seeking damages for a 2011 flood that damaged reserve property, including the band office and four houses, which the suit claims was the result of an inadequate culvert system installed by CnR. “We have learned that the flooding was caused by Canadian national Railway’s embankment that passes through our reserve and an inadequate culvert system maintained by Cn under the embankment than cannot handle the capacity of high spring runoff events,” said Ogen in a statement. The band undertook its own clean-up and repair to damages caused by the 2011 flood. Council and band members remain concerned that the potential for another spring run off event has not been reduced since 2011.

I am working all summer. We have family friends from Ontario coming to visit for a few weeks in July.
I am going to just visit with my grandkids in Kamloops, and go camping around the Cariboo.
We got a canoe this year, so we’re planning on doing some fishing and camping. I think we are all very lucky to have so many lakes right here in the South Cariboo.
I’ll have a bit of a vacation at home when my husband is away for a while. He doesn’t enjoy it as much when I go away, though.

Best advice is to immerse the burned area in cold water (no ice) for at least 15 minutes. You’ll find this reduces the pain as well. People looking for an alternative to DEET as an insect repellant might look for products containing icaridin. It is effective against mosquitoes, black flies and ticks and is available as a pump spray, aerosol spray and towelettes. It is safe for adults and children over the age of 6 months. Examples of brands containing this include Deep Woods and Avon. Looking for a good source of calcium in food. Try sardines.

Expiry dates on medication have a little leeway. They don’t lose all their potency on the day of expiration. But there’s one medication you want to be sure is “in date” and that is your EpiPen. The EpiPen is kept on hand by people with very serious allergies and can save lives. If you have an EpiPen, check the date. If it’s close to expiration, get a new one. If you have any questions about the EpiPen or other medications used to treat allergies, talk to our pharmacists. We’d be happy to share our knowledge.

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 84 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Assistance sought 100 Mile House RCMP is seeking the assistance from a possible witness to an incident, which
occurred between a group of three teens at the school yard of Horse Lake Elementary School between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. on June 2. A man with two young children may have been present when this was occurring. 100 Mile RCMP is asking that male witness to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395- 2456, quote investigation number 2013-1472 and ask to speak to an investigator.
Off the road During the past week, there were two single-vehicle incidents associated to weather conditions. On May 31, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a vehicle that had gone off the road because of a sudden build-up of hail on the roadway on Horse Lake Road near the Mahood Lake Road intersection. The driver was not injured and the vehicle was towed. On June 1, police
responded to another vehicle that had gone off the road because of a sudden hail storm on Highway 24 near Blue Jay Road. Neither of the two occupants of the vehicle was injured and the vehicle was towed from the scene. 100 Mile RCMP reminds the motoring public that severe weather can occur at any time in the Cariboo and drivers should amend their driving habits in response to
Drivers ignore bus hazards Children’s lives put at risk by impatience
Carole Rooney Free Press
Despite all the years children have ridden on school buses, motorists continue to create dangers to their safety. This also happens in the South Cariboo, where buses are the typical mode of transportation to and from school for students. School District #27 (SD27) assistant transportation manager Tony Poole says local bus drivers are reporting vehicles passing them when they are stopped for students to get in and off the bus, even when the red warning lights are flashing. This action is not only illegal, it also threatens the lives of children on the roadways, he says, and it can lead to a tragic and completely unnecessary ending just to save just a moment or two. SD27 bus drivers call their local yard to pass on these reports to police when they happen – sometimes as often as three times in a week, Poole explains. “In 100 Mile House [zones], it’s probably an average of several times a month. “It is people in a hurry; that is all it is – impatience. They are late for work, whatever, on the run, and they are trying to cut corners.” Often, children must cross the road to get to and from the bus,
“
What scares me more than anything is when it is going to happen. I believe it’s going to happen.” -Mitch Campsall
which, he notes, is most often where tragic accidents happen. Poole adds placing a child’s life in danger in this manner is incomprehensible to him. “I couldn’t imagine injuring or taking the life of some student who is just innocently walking across the road, when they trust us to look after the traffic. “It would be a tough one to live with, and one can only imagine how many families it is going to ruin.” These careless incidents have devastating impacts to the struck students and families, the motorist at fault, and all the students, bus drivers and others who witness them, he notes. Mitch Campsall drives a school bus for SD27 on various routes around the community, and says it is not “if ” it is going to happen, but “when.” “What scares me more than anything is when it is going to happen. I believe it’s going to happen.” As a bus driver, Campsall says he understands how that also emotionally impacts
MitCh CaMpsall
these student guardians on the roadway. “The last time it happened in this community, it destroyed the driver for quite a while. We had a driver lose a child on Horse Lake Road many, many years ago.” Campsall notes there are motorists who simply don’t understand the dangers and the potential impacts on local children and families. Poole notes school bus drivers do what they can to mitigate
these risky situations, by using amber caution lights to signal when approaching a stop, slowing down, and checking all the bus mirrors for potential traffic hazards. Once the coast appears clear, he says they throw on the red flashing lights (which make passing illegal), flip out a stop sign, and open up the doors. Some new drivers appear to not know the rules of the road, so Poole notes parents of young drivers can help by educating them on the driving laws, and by being good role models. Anyone witnessing this unsafe behaviour is asked to take note of licence numbers if it’s safe to do so, and report the incident to the local police.
New collection agency scam surfaces A new scam has hit the Cariboo leading the RCMP to caution residents and businesses to be wary they don’t get cheated out of their money. The fraud was initially reported by RCMP in Quesnel, alerting the public to letters being sent to business and individuals by a supposed debt collection agency located outside of Canada. The letter states an account is past due and has been forwarded to the collection agency. Then, it goes on to indicate the recipient will suffer from bad credit unless a cheque with the amount owed is sent to the address indicated. 100 Mile House RCMP Sgt. Don McLean says anyone receiving anything similar to this letter should pay close attention and be sure to consult their local bank or the RCMP before taking action.
those conditions. Excessive speeding During the past week, there were four incidents of excessive speeding in the 100 Mile House area and the speeds ranged from 47 to 54 km/h over the posted speed limit. In each instance, the drivers were ticketed for excessive speed and their vehicles were towed and impounded for seven days. One driver was from the 100 Mile House area; the other three were from outside the area.

Principal holds class in high regard Ken Alexander Free Press
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School Class of 2013 had 144 graduates, and PSO principal Vic Brett is proud of each and every one of them. He said as much as the master of ceremonies during the graduation ceremony at the arena in 100 Mile House on May 24. The facility was packed with supportive family and friends who clapped and cheered loudly, with many reaching for Kleenex tissues to dab the tears of joy from their eyes. Following the procession, which saw the grads march in their caps and gowns to the front of the audience, and the singing of the national anthem by the school choir, Canim
Lake Band Chief Mike Archie welcomed everyone and drummed and sang for the grads. Superintendent Mark Thiessen, school board chair Will Van Osch and 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall all made heartfelt speeches, containing a blend of humour and pearls of wisdom. Prior to the presentation of diplomas by Brett and vice-principal Geoff Butcher, Jason Ruscheinsky played his guitar and sang “This Is Not Goodbye.” After the diploma presentation, Karly Kremsner and Ben Mowbray gave the interesting and humourous Valedictorian Address. Josslyn Ryan and Miranda Pettitt sang a lovely rendition of “Unwritten,” and were accompanied by Ruscheinsky. They
received a well-deserved standing ovation. The highlight of the evening for many was Thiessen presenting the Governor General’s Medal to Jill Matlock (see story on page 3 of this edition). After the ceremony Brett noted 33 of the 144 grads achieved the honour roll in all 12 reporting periods – the whole time they were at PSO. “The grads were really good, solid citizens at PSO. It was a wonderful grad class; you could rely on and they took their schooling very seriously.” Brett noted the students provided a stable base to work with the closure of 100 Mile House Junior Secondary after this school year and preparing for the influx of students at PSO next year.
“They were willing to accept change, embrace what was happening and be those good guys who helped others learn about the school and school system.” He added the leadership group had a series of meetings with the Junior Secondary students and the youth empowerment group
came in a couple of sessions with the PSO and Junior Secondary students. “Our Grade 12s were really the salt of the earth, really supportive of the younger kids and really supportive of the school.” He also had kind words for Valedictorians Continued on 14

Valedictorians feel honoured
From 12
Kremsner and Mowbray, who were nominated by the teachers and staff, with the top 3 boys and top 3 girls put on a ballot and elected by their peers. “These two were really well-rounded students, high achievers academically, well-respected by their peers and outstanding citizens of the school the whole time they were here. It was a pleasure to have them in the school.” Regarding their speech, Kremsner said she and Mowbray took about three hours to come up with the material. “We wanted to write something inspirational for our peers and come up with some inside jokes that would be meaningful for the grads.” She added being selected as Valedictorian was one of the proudest moments of her life. “I really wanted it and hearing that I was nominated was the happiest feeling I’ve ever had. Being actually selected as Valedictorian was unbelievable.” Noting she has gone to school with a lot of the grads since elementary school, Kremsner said it was great watching them grow up over the years. “They have grown into such great people. I think there will be a
bond among us for a long time.” T he prou d Valedictorian will be taking a year off to work and then she will begin the trek to become a registered nurse. “I’ve always wanted to help people and I’ve always had strong interests in the medical field. I want to eventually work in the maternity ward.” Mowbray said becoming Valedictorian was a “really great honour ... to be selected by not only teachers but by classmates, too. It was a lot of responsibility to make that speech, he said, adding it was good to know everyone thought he could handle that
responsibility. “It felt really good just to be able to represent everyone. I’ve been with them for so many years and it just made me feel really connected with them.” Mowbray said it was great getting together with Kremsner to look back on the year they had with their peers. “It gave us a moment to reflect on what we’ve done and how far we’ve come. I was kind of neat to tie it altogether and give a speech in from the community and our grad class at the grad ceremony.” Mowbray said he will spend the summer working in 100 Mile House, but in the fall, he’s off to UNBC to take
Futcher appointed SD27 secretary-treasurer Kevin Futcher has been selected as the new secretary treasurer for School District #27 (SD27). “Mr. Futcher brings a diverse background of experience and education to the position of secretary-treasurer,” superintendent Mark Thiessen said in announcing the appointment on May 31. Futcher has been employed with School District #91 (Nechako Lakes) as assistant secretary-treasurer/controller. Along with this experience, he has owned and managed a business in Smithers and has more than 20 years experience as an accountant and controller working in the B.C. forest industry. “Congratulations are extended to Kevin on his appointment,” Thiessen said. “His start date is yet to be determined.” Futcher replaces longtime secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller who has taken a secretary-treasurer position with the Penticton school district.

Helpers still needed for the Relay for Life
By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle After months of preparation, plans for the Relay for Life at Centennial Park in 100 Mile House on June 8 are well underway. Organizer Alaina Fryer says volunteers and participants are pumped for a fantastic day. “We have 10 teams
registered and a few more coming. We have a few last-minute details to take care of and we can always use more volunteers and we are still accepting teams, but the schedule for the day is pretty well set.� Along with the actual relay, there will be a lot for people to see and do throughout the day. Registration and team
set-up goes from 8:30 to 10 a.m., with the opening ceremonies at 10:30. Cancer survivors are invited to come down for the opening ceremony, and register before 10 a.m., so they can get their yellow shirts and take part in the opening lap. Throughout the day there will be games, including bocce ball
Still room on the Big Bike Have you ever dreamed of being a biker? How about a Big Biker? If so, don’t miss your chance to join the Heart and Stroke Fund’s Big Bike Ride in 100 Mile House on June 10. For $50 in donations, you can climb aboard and pedal your way to 20 minutes of fundraising fun, as Canada’s biggest of the Big Bike cruises through town. Spectators and cheerleaders are welcome as well to send the first bike off at 3:30 from the Save-On-Foods parking lot. The next teams leave at 4 and 5 p.m. Organizer April Roberts says this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Big Bike Ride and she is asking people to wear something red. People can dress like Santa or anything – just
wear some red for hearts, she adds. “Every dollar raised goes to the Heart and Stroke Fund. Research is the biggest thing and government can only do so much. What they find out today can save my husband tomorrow.� Kamloops area co-ordinator Lianna Jansen says someone in British Columbia dies from heart disease or stroke every hour. “Events like the Big Bike allow the Heart and Stroke Foundation to continue funding research, advocacy and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians.� Seats on the big Bike are still available and people can jump on as individuals or join an existing team. Simply go to www.bigbike.ca and follow the links, or call April Roberts at 250-395-3665.
Send a local child to camp Tim Hortons annual Camp Day is today (June 5) and every cup of coffee purchased within a 24-hour period that day will help to send thousands of children to camp, including a couple from the South Cariboo. Last year, Camp Day raised $11 million and assisted 15,000 deserving youngsters from economically disadvantaged homes to go on a once-in-a-lifetime camping adventure. Entire proceeds from coffee sales on Camp Day will be donated to the fund, and additionally, money will be raised through a number of other endeavours at the 100 Mile House location. Assistant manager Sadie Lawrence says people will have the opportunity to purchase prize-filled balloons all day. “You pop the balloon and get a prize inside.� People can also purchase a guess on the
number of jelly beans in one jar, and gumballs in another. The closest guess will net the winner all of the contents. A barbecue will be fired up outside from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. where for $3, people can purchase a hotdog and drink. Lawrence says there may be more going on and people should drop by to check it out.

tournaments, threelegged races, tug-of-war, and other “old school� games. Watch for different dance demos, including Cheralyn’s Polynesian Dancers, Zoomba dancing by Gayle Ogden, belly dancing and more. There will also be music and contests for folks to watch and participate in. Lunch and dinner will be available, including a selection of healthier choice foods this year. The event winds up with the traditional Luminary Ceremony at dusk The Luminary bags are lined up by the creek
bend around 9 p.m. and lit candles put inside. There will be a little speech, songs will be played, and then everyone walks the creek bend together. Everyone is welcome to walk and it is not just those purchasing a bag. There has been a slight change to part of the Luminary Ceremony, Fryer says, adding in the past, sand or gravel has been added to the bags to keep them in place. This year, people who are considering buying a Luminary bag are asked to bring a canned food item to put in the bags. The can will act as
weight in the bag as well as a candle holder, and all the donated food will be turned over to the 100 Mile House Food Bank, she explains. Luminary bags are available at Lordco, United Carpet and caribooradio.com. They will also be available at
Centennial Park during the relay on June 8. “It has been a lot of work, but we’re really excited. We really want to see the community come down and enjoy and experience the day.� For more information, contact Fryer at 250-706-8082.

108 Lions Club hosted dog walk

108 Mile Ranch

The 108 Lions Club put on another successful Purina Dog Walk even though about a dozen dogs were in attendance. I still find it amazing the dogs get along together so well. Registration was at noon on May 26 with the walk starting at 1 p.m. The dogs along with their owners or handlers walked around Sepa Lake and the weather co-operated with sunny skies. The walk would have been much more successful if more people had participated, so please keep next year’s event in mind all you dog owners. This is a very worthwhile fundraiser that the Lions organize each year. The top fundraiser was Judy McDonald at $150, and the total was just short of $600. It has been proposed that the 108 Lions will be topping off the total at $1,000. Lion saves gosling A spectacular event occurred when Peter Tonkin, a 108 Lion, and I were walking through the lawn next to the beach. The Canada geese were making more than their usual honking calls Peter noticed a very young gosling stuck in the shoreline mud and was trapped on its back. He never hesitated and took off into the ankledeep mud to save the gosling. As I was trying to get into position to take a picture, the adult Canada geese really became upset and moved out further into the 108 Lake. Peter picked up the gosling and placed it back into the water and it swam off after the adults. The adult geese accepted the gosling back into

the group, settled down, went quiet and eventually swam away. One has to give Peter credit for saving the gosling, as I am sure it would not have lasted the next few hours. It reminded me of the Boy Scout saying, “Try to do a good turn every day.”
ating a very dangerous situation, as other vehicles are not sure where they are going. Even school buses and larger vehicles are slowing
down or even stopping until the intersection clears. These conditions are of great concern to many of the 108 residents.
Heritage Market There is potential to open the Heritage Market again this year at the 108 Heritage Site located at the north end of the 108 Lake. The proposal is to have it every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. from June 5 to Aug, 28. A single spot is $15 and interested vendors can contact Ingrid at 250791-5663 or e-mail her at ingridsfootcare@shaw.ca. This location should be great for a market as there is plenty of parking, benches, washrooms and easy access on and off the highway. Trail upgrade The 108 Greenbelt Commission is proceeding with the final phase of the low mobility trail upgrade, which will extend the trail from the 108 Heritage Site to the West Beach,
be under the supervision of commissioner Robin Nadin. Many thanks go to the volunteers of the commissioners for their dedication to this much-needed project.

Running of the Balls was a fun event. Alina Hext won first place in the competition and Greg Roberts took both second and third place. Five other lucky people, who had the correct numbered balls, got to pick from an assortment of prizes. The last ball to come down the ramps was George Beatty. We all hope you will enjoy that mini cooper prize George.

Food security and sustainable food systems to be discussed by robert Nichol Experts in local foodproduction techniques, food-security issues and community organizing will be sharing their knowledge at a one-day conference, called Looking Ahead, at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on June 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A lunch, made from locally grown organic produce and foodstuffs, lovingly prepared by volunteers, is included in the ticket price of $25. The conference will be conducted under the auspices of C.E.E.D.S. (The Community
Enhancement and Economic Development Society.) All proceeds will go to Loves & Fishes Outreach and the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Food Cupboard. The conference brings the issue of food security to the forefront in the 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo in the face of a growing public concern. Food sovereignty is now a major grassroots movement taking hold around the world to bring to the public an awareness of local empowerment and selfsufficiency in terms of
food security, given the admonition of food shortages now predicted. With so much to gain, we believe a oneday conference held locally, will benefit all those now concerned with community sustainability and food security issues. To this extent, those who would welcome such an endeavour would be able to participate in the sharing of ideas, maintaining local food systems and keeping people aware of a community development process in their areas.

Prostate Cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in Canadian men (behind lung cancer). Current fatality rate is about 25%. It mostly afflicts men 45 years of age and older, with the incidence increasing with age. Men with a family history of Prostate Cancer are at increased risk so examinations and tests should begin at age 40. Prostate Cancer has no known causes or prevention. Detection and treatment in its earliest stages (while it is still small and confined to the prostate) provides the best chance for a complete cure. The PSA test is the single best blood test for detecting tumours in all forms of cancer and should be used in conjunction with the DRE. PSA tests are covered if you have a history of Prostate Cancer in your family. Please see your doctor for details.

In mid-May, all the lakes in the Lac des Roches chain were stocked with Pennask and Blackwater rainbow trout. Depending on the size of the lake, the number of fingerlings ranges from 1,200 to 12,000. Craig Adamson was one of the drivers stocking with fish from the Clearwater hatchery. Several residents witnessed the stocking activity and were not surprised to see a lot of interest in these vulnerable baby fish generated among the local fisheating loon inhabitants. Residents and visitors fishing these lakes can assist biologists’ analysis of stocking programs by maintaining a creel report of their catches. Call the writer for more information on contributing to this valuable exercise.

Leah is a recent graduate from BCIT’s Fish, Wildlife and Recreation diploma program and says she hopes to have a career involved with wildlife. The data from both level 1 and 2 testing will be analyzed and compiled by the BC Lake Stewardship Society in a report of the overall health of each lake.

One-room school and pet mink were just part of life at old Wright Station Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
T
here wasn’t a lot going on around Lac la Hache in 1948, when young sisters, Carolyne and Elaine Wilkie, moved from Chilliwack to Wright Station with their parents, Carl and Louise, and older brother, Harold. It was a small community near Lac la Hache, which served as a railway stop with a water tower for the steam engines, and it was a location for bush mills, their employees and families. By necessity, children at Wright Station learned how to make their own fun, and looking back now, Carolyne and Elaine wouldn’t change it for the world. When their home in Chilliwack was flooded during the great Fraser River flood of ‘48, their dad vowed never to put his family through that again, so he packed them up and headed north to start a planer mill business with an army buddy. The move involved two painstakingly slow days of travel on the old Cariboo Wagon Road that was narrow and unpaved, with segments of wooden platforms cantilevered from rock walls high above the Fraser. The family travelled in a car behind their friend’s

large truck which was overloaded with their possessions. “Our mom was really scared to see her furniture hanging over the edge like that. It was all she had,” says Elaine. Their new home at Wright Station was one of the several mill camp shacks that filled the remote little community. It was basic, with no electricity or
running water, but before long, Carl bought an old hay shed from the Wright family, which he converted into a house of sorts. It was more spacious than the mill shack, with a barrel heater in the living room for heat and a sawdustburning cookstove in the kitchen, but no insulation in the walls. That first winter, the temperature dove to -72 Fahrenheit (-58 C),
and every one of the many previously unnoticed cracks filled with frost. For the rest of the frigid season, family members slept in the living room, close to the stove. Children from the camp typically attended school in Lac la Hache, but the one-room San Jose School at 133 Mile was in danger of closing due to an insufficient number of students, so Elaine was chosen as
one of a few to attend school there, much to her dismay. The school, later renamed Enterprise School, normally served children from Grades 1-4 who lived between Twilight Lodge on Lac la Hache and Enterprise Road. Elaine remembers it well, with its little cloak room at the entrance and four rows of wooden desks. There was a wood stove at the back of the room and outhouse behind the building. At recess, she recalls climbing trees, picking wildflowers, and lying in the grass to gaze at the sky. In winter, during lunch, the teacher would often make soup or hot chocolate for the students to savour. The school was built in 1938 and closed in 1956, before being moved to its current location at the 108 Heritage Site. There was plenty of simple fun to be had outdoors at home as well, with so many families living near the mill camp. The community was tightly knit and people regularly got together for tobogganing, ice skating on the lake, bonfires and weenie roasts. Otherwise, children busied themselves with simple activities, such as skipping rope, hopscotch, playing with balls and marbles and exploring the woods. Harold liked to fish in a certain spot and made friends with a wild mink
that would visit every time he showed up and steal minnows from his catch. The boy and his friends also had a clubhouse where they would skin squirrels they had trapped and roast potatoes and fish on a fire outside. Huge sawdust piles near the mill provided opportunity for some of the best fun, as children would roll down the long slopes laughing, but then, “itch like crazy”, says Elaine. A beautiful bay at the north end of Lac la Hache was their favourite place to swim, but the sisters say it was later filled in with earth to become a sawmill site. In the summertime, there were berries to be picked and Louise would store away jars and jars of canned strawberries, gooseberries, Saskatoons and raspberries. The garden supplied the family with vegetables that would be eaten fresh, and also stored in the root cellar for winter. Carl and Harold shot a moose each year at freezeup and the carcass was hung in a shed where pieces could be cut away as needed throughout the winter. At times when money was scarce, Carl would hunt for anything that could feed his family, and nobody was picky, except the day he brought home a rabbit. The children were told the meat was chicken,

but earlier in the day, Elaine had spied on her mom and dad as they discussed eating a rabbit Carl had just caught. She refused to eat it because she thought they’d cooked the Easter Bunny. “You weren’t fussy unless it was bunny rabbit,” says Carolyne, backed up by Elaine who comments, “We never knew we were poor, or that when we had macaroni and tomatoes, that’s all there was.” While fancy food was scarce, the children could usually count on being treated to fresh baking, fresh out of the oven when they returned home from school each day. In winter, food supplies were ordered from Kamloops and delivered by train, arriving packed in large, round cheese crates. At other times of the year, the family would make monthly trips to Williams Lake for groceries and supplies. The highway was still unpaved, but the drive was worth all the

dust that was kicked up along the way, as a lunch of hamburgers and Orange Crush was usually their reward. Bathing was done just once a week in an aluminum tub, and everyone would share the same bath water. Children went first, one at a time from youngest to oldest, with additional hot water added as needed. Then it was Louise’s turn, and she was followed by the men. Cleaning in general was a chore that often took innovation. If
something needed dry cleaning, it could be done in the winter by laying the garment out on the snow for the day and brushing it with snow, says Carolyne. When the sofa required freshening up, it was also put outside in winter, dowsed with gasoline, then rubbed with snow to remove the smell. Snow had many uses and making homemade ice cream in winter was a natural, as the pail of cream and other ingredients
could simply be put in the snowbank to freeze. There was also nothing more fun than jumping off a shed roof into the deep, fluffy piles. It’s been said many times before that Cariboo winters were much harsher in the past than they are today. The sisters recall many long stretches of extremely cold weather and a winter when they had a single snowfall of one metre in depth. The family remained at Wright Station until 1955, when they moved to the Quirin lumber planer mill camp at 98 Mile, which was located on the east side of Highway 97. For the children, it was a long walk each day to school and back, except in winter, when they were allowed to ride the school bus. The family remained there for two years until Carl built a new home at 96 Mile where the family resided for many years. Carolyne now lives in 100 Mile House and Elaine is in Langley, but the two remain close, visiting each other whenever possible.

Haste not waste for impatient painter Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
Arlene Jongbloets
Marilyn Beattie is the current artist featured at Showcase Gallery, with her collection of paintings focused on summertime.
Artist Marilyn Beattie likes to be efficient and she certainly doesn’t waste time when it comes to painting a picture. Much of her inspiration comes from the Internet, and if she spots a photograph she likes, more often than not, it will be finished the following day by noon, she says. “It’s rather fun because my neighbour is a detail painter. Where she’ll take three months to do a painting, I take three hours. I prefer to start it, then not even stop for a meal in between.” She chooses to paint with acrylics and watercolours, and to be sure, oil paints will never be found among her store of supplies because they simply take too long to dry. Painting is a relatively new hobby for Beattie who first picked up a brush just eight years ago. She says anyone can paint if they want to, and proved it with her first attempt.

crazy about it. That painting, and several others, can be seen in collection of Beattie’s work, currently on display at Showcase Gallery. The show is timely with its summer theme and includes a variety of subjects, including a personal favourite of cottages on the ocean. Beattie holds many fond memories of living in a cottage by the ocean, and similar scenes often end up in her paintings. A barn scene perfectly suits its rustic wooden frame, which is the handiwork of Brian, who recycles old wood pallets and siding to make framing material for his wife. These paintings, and more, can be seen at Showcase until the end of June. The gallery is located in the main lobby of the South Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave. The hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m.

“I was never artistic, but I saw a painting and wanted to own it. I’m the type who likes to make something myself and get a real kick out of doing it.” She followed up by reading everything that could be found at the library about painting and then took a set of four lessons, which turned out to be rather unfruitful. “The instructor had this dog who just hated me. It would stand there and bark all through the lesson, so nothing much came of that.” Beattie defines herself as a practical woman, so while she enjoys painting, the painting must be sold and not allowed to accumulate in her house. She sells them for a reduced amount, made possible by the minimum amount of time put into each painting. She calls her style, folk art, but recently tried an impressionist approach to a painting of cabbage roses. She’s happy with the result, and says her husband, Brian, is

This conference is a template for future similar one-day events to be

The level of response so far, has been very enthusiastic and we expect a very successful outcome.

Drywall nail pops occur when lumber shrinks and exposes the shank of a nail or screw. Pressure on the loose drywall panel causes the head of the fastener to pop through. To repair, drive a drywall screw about 1 1/2 inches above or below the pop on the same stud. Press the panel firmly against the framing as you set the screw. Next, remove or reset the popped fastener. If the surface is damaged, use meshMain tape Floor to strengthen and conceal the repair because compared with paper tape, mesh trowels out thinner. Improper fastener length can also contribute to the problem. When installing drywall, make sure the screws penetrate the stud by at least 5/8 inch; nails should penetrate the stud by at least 7/8 inch. Don’t set the fastener too deep; tearing the paper surface also reduces the holding power of the fastener. Do it right the first time, use a screw gun and wallboard adhesive. Applying adhesive reduces the number of fasteners needed.

Braydon Sanford doubled and brought two runners across the plate in the bottom of the first inning for the Hornets. Not to be outdone, his dad, Rob Sanford, also smacked a double and
recorded a run batted in (RBI). Bill Estabrooks pounded a triple and then scored the tying run. Mitch Payette started on the mound for the Hornets and chucked three innings before being relieved by Reg Hooper who recorded two strikeouts (KOs) in the two innings he pitched. Jakes got a solid outing from Greg Parent who notched seven KOs in five innings. He also helped his own
cause with a double and an RBI. Steve Almond smacked a triple for the Old Buds and recorded an RBI. Eventful evening The following night, the last-place team (Hornets) knocked off the league’s first-place squad, and previously undefeated, Red Rock Grill Avengers by a 10-7 score. Continued on 36

Couples civil at Divorce Open
Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
The only break-up this year at the 15th annual Divorce Open Golf Tournament, at 108 Golf Resort from May 31 to June 2, was in the rain clouds. Despite a chilly wind, the weather wasn’t bad, resort manager Jeff Kendy says, adding golfers were finished playing Sunday by 3 p.m., prizes were handed out by 5 p.m., and it began pouring rain at 6 p.m., when everyone was gone. He notes the tournament was a huge success with the maximum of 87 couples registered, and no arguments to speak of. “There usually are, and we hear about them because people like to squeal. Everyone was pretty laid-back this year.” The overall low-gross winners were Robin and Laura Storoschuk from Williams Lake. Low-net champion

At least 65 per cent of the teams were from other communities, including Red Deer, Calgary, Campbell River, Vernon, Prince
George, Kamloops, and Quesnel and Williams Lake, which Kendy says were well represented. On Saturday evening, golfers were entertained at a banquet featuring musician John Boss from Kelowna who kept them dancing until late. “You had to be there to believe how successful the weekend was – with weather, food,

Wild & Woolly a great start to season Cariboo Boilers
Free Press
The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club opened its horse show season with the Wild & Woolly Spring Schooling Show on Mother’s Day (May 12). The day-long event was held at the Outriders Arena, with 36 entries, including a few from Quesnel, Barriere and Kamloops. “That was a good number,” club director Nicolle Dupont says, adding entry fees were lowered for junior riders in order to attract more of them. “It seemed to work. We got quite a few juniors.” She says all classes had a “healthy” number of entries, including several newcomers in the youth divisions. The show was a qualifier for BC Heritage Finals 2013, which take place in Kamloops this year, and Dupont notes this likely helped in attracting entries from that region. Noting it was a spring show, Dupont says some of the horses still looked a little shaggy, but they were well groomed and well behaved. She adds judge Jill Malanka from Logan Lake provided riders with good feedback on their performances. The next club schooling show is Fun & Frolic, which takes place June 15-16 at the Outriders Arena. Top 3 in each event were: English classes Showmanship Novice/junior: Nicolle Dupont; Mackenzie

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!

Games heating up with warmer weather From 29
Sanford’s Bob Collens pitched three innings and registered a strikeout, and Hooper chucked the last three innings and the fireballer notched four KOs. Estabrooks hit another triple and brought two runners across the plate. Chris Edlund hit a double and registered an RBI for the winners. Brad Mills and Pat Findlay (one KO) shared the pitching duties for Red Rock. Cale Tessaro hit two singles and scored for the Avengers’ offensive highlights, but shortstop Matt Giroday made the defensive play of the night, showing his great range with a spectacular stab at a line drive. Toughing it out The Shuswap Defenders and Exeter Sporting Goods completed six innings of exciting ball despite the steady rainfall.
Stumpy Boyce was strong on the mound all game for the Defenders, as he recorded eight KOs. Shuswap was trailing 6-4 after five-and-a-half innings, but Jason Elliot changed all that when he smacked a two-run double to knot the score at six and then scored himself for the 7-6 victory. Chad Paterson also pitched a complete game for Exeter and also recorded eight KOs. He topped off that performance by pounding the ball out of the park for a solo home run. Dylan Pinto played a great game behind the plate while catching Paterson. Coleman Schoeler had a double and Brian Morman also smacked a double and registered an RBI. Brian Larson made a stellar catch at third base, while centrefielder Jay James made a superb catch after a long run.

Pat Findlay is the anchor for the Red Rock Grill Avengers pitching staff, as he moves the ball around the plate well and mixes pitch speeds to keep opposing batters on their toes.
Hole-in-one contest worth a million Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
It’s time to take your A-game to the 108 Golf Resort for the Third Annual Million Dollar Charity Hole-In-One Contest. Psalm 23 Transition Society is hosting the event, with proceeds to be used for its recovery program. Daily qualifying rounds are from June 7 to 15 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. and quarterfinals, semifinals and finals are June 16, starting at 1 p.m. How it works In the qualifying rounds, folks pay $10 for 12 balls; $20 for 30 balls; and $50 for 100 balls, and then shoot at a pin target located at a distance of 95 yards. People can play
as many times as you choose, and at the end of each day, shooters of the seven balls closest to the pin qualify to play in the quarter-final, and also share in the daily prizes. In addition, three names drawn at random from the day’s participants will also qualify for the quarter-final, and every day you qualify gives you three balls to shoot in the quarter. June 11 is Ladies Day, where in addition to the top 7 overall shooters (anyone shooting that day) advancing to the quarter-finals, the top 7 women will also advance. Seniors’ Day, for those 55 years and older, is June 13, with the same criteria as Ladies Day. Get a team of three players together to compete in the Business
Challenge Cup, June 14-15 for prizes and a shot at the quarter-final. Youth Day for golfers 17 years and under is on June 8, and they shoot for prizes only. June 16 is the big money day during which a hole-in-one in the quarter-final will net a prize of $10,000 cash. Contestants will be shooting from the tee box on the driving range to a target 160 yards away. The top 10 closestto-the-pin (KP) shots move on to the semifinal where they have one shot at 160 yards on hole No. 10 for a $100,000 hole-in-one. The top 3 KP shooters compete in the final for $1 million, with a single attempt to sink a hole-in-one. Hole 10 is par three, with good visibility,
says event co-ordinator Marvin Declare, who will also be the focus of the Beat the Boss Contest. Every morning, Declare will shoot six balls, and for $5, people can shoot six balls to try and beat him for closest to the pin. Winners get 25 free balls to shoot in the main contest.
Declare says he’s counting on a good turnout for the entire event this year. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s nice when the community comes out. We value relationships and being part of the community and like to call these kinds of things friend-raising and fundraising events.”
Competitors cash in A handful of Cariboo cowboys and cowgirls cashed in at the annual British Columbia Rodeo Association (BCRA) Clinton May Ball Rodeo, May 25-26. Breakaway roper Rika Wieth of Lone Butte stopped the clock at 3.1 seconds to collect $362.55 as her third-place winnings. Russell Allison of Clinton was timed at 7.1 seconds in Junior Breakaway Roping, which was good for third place and $73.71 in cash. In Junior Steer Riding, Dakota McColl of Clinton scored 67 for second place and $189.28 in prize money. The next BCRA rodeo is the Ashcroft & District Stampede, June 15-16.

PLAUTZ
Kathleen (Kay) Virginia (nee Wilkinson)
It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kathleen (Kay) Virginia Plautz (Wilkinson). Kay was born September 9, 1921 in New Westminster B.C. and passed away on May 29th, 2013. She was predeceased by her husband Henry Plautz in January 1976. Kay is survived by her children Marilynn Ray (Ron), Gary Plautz (Shirley), Wayne Plautz (Carol), Katherine Rendall (John), nine grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. Kay grew up in White Rock and North Vancouver. She married Henry in September of 1941 and moved to Canim Lake in 1949, where they raised their family. Kay worked for many years at Weldwood Plywood Plant. The ladies that worked with her on the drychain were nicknamed the ‘Swinging Grannies’. She loved to golf, bowl, knit, shop and travel. She loved sunsets, bluebirds, picking up sea shells, but most of all she loved her family. Kay was a graceful and generous lady, with a heart full of love. We will always remember her positive sunny ways, cheerful “hugga huggas” and her cards signed with “oodles of love” followed by a smiley face. We are grateful for all the care she received from Dr. Nicholson and the staff at Fischer Place.

POPE
Gary Albert July 4, 1934 - May. 2, 2013
It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Gary, in hospital, with Lynda at his side. A private, gentle-spirited man who valued his home, family, fishing and community. Gary valued his friendships and generously gave of his time, shared his knowledge, was a problem solver, teacher and advisor, a lover of animals and music and enjoyed reading autobiographies of our Cariboo pioneers. He had a great sense of humour and a quick wit. He could be seen either walking his dog or riding the backhoe around the loop and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Garry is survived by his partner of 34 years, Lynda Person; special friends: Brian and Trish Thom, Maya and Kevin, Jeremy and Michael; Lynda’s family: Mary Person, Cheryl and Gordon Wiles, Ian and Charlene, and Ken and Kathy Person. Predeceased by Lynda’s Dad Malcolm Person and by his loyal companions: Shorty, Scruffy, Ernest and Mozart. A community Remembrance Gathering was held May 19, 2013 at the home of Foster and Charlie Dulton at Hawkins Lake. Thank you to our many friends and neighbours for your kind words, stories and cards; and to the ladies who brought food plates. Family will hold an interment in Chilliwack at a later date. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Lac la Hache Elementary Schools’ garden-planting project has been postponed a number of times due to all the rain, but it should be planted soon.

When it comes to newborn wild animals, mother always knows best, and so with fawning and calving season underway, provincial biologists are reminding people that newborn deer, elk or moose should not be touched or moved when encountered. People who find these newborns alone often mistakenly believe they have been abandoned, but usually they have only been left there temporarily by their mother, who will return. Intervening in these situations by “rescuing” the fawn or calf

is rarely necessary and will usually do more harm than good. It is normal for mother deer, elk and other ungulates to leave their young alone for long periods, returning a few times a day to nurse and relying on the newborn’s lack of scent to protect them from predators. Returning mothers that find humans or pets nearby may leave or can become aggressive to defend their offspring from the perceived threat. Although these newborns may

While professional wildlife rehabilitation facilities in some areas of B.C. can successfully rear these newborns, there is no maternal care and their chances of survival are far less than if they had been raised by their true mother. This is true not just for deer; many mammals leave their young alone for long periods of time, only to return to feed them at regular intervals. So, if you encounter a

FAST bytes If you find a fawn or calf you think may be orphaned, here’s what you should do: • If it is lying quietly, leave it alone and leave the area. Your presence will discourage the mother from returning. • Keep all children and especially dogs away from the area.
