Local youngster Ty Bowen enjoyed climbing around in the ball pit, which was one of the many ongoing activities during the 13th Annual Relay for Life in 100 Mile House’s Centennial Park on June 8. At press time, more than $19,000 has been raised for cancer research, with additional funds still to be counted, co-ordinator Alaina Fryer says, adding she is “over the moon” with gratitude to the community to see the relay enthusiasm return to what it once was.

Rail service pushed for tourism CCCTA chair Pat Corbett queries CN on barriers carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association chair Pat Corbett recently asked Canadian National Railways (CN) representatives about the potential for returning regular, affordable passenger service to the South Cariboo. At a recent Rotary Club of 100 Mile House function for local railway service stakeholders, the local tourism leader reminded CN assistant superintendent Mike Peterson, track supervisor Wade Thompkins, and regional manager of public affairs Emily Hamer that passenger trains serviced the community years ago. “I believe we need to get some passenger service back on the rail,” said Corbett, drawing applause from the crowd.

He explained the sole existing pasPeterson said as a federal sersenger train on the line, the Rocky vice provider it might not be in Mountaineer, is a less-affordable CN’s “best interests” from a business “cruise ship on rails.” standpoint. “You’re doing a great job on that, “We are hauling goods for cusbut it’s not a passenger service; it’s tomers, we are hauling commodities, a cruise ship experience.

Said Corbett: “We’ve had discussions with Via Rail; there is interest.

Susan Fryer humbled by award Watching children succeed: speech language pathology assistant’s joy

By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle Most of us can’t wait for retirement, but when 100 Mile House resident Susan Fryer was recently asked what the hardest part of her job as speech language pathology assistant was, she replied “Having to think about retirement.” Her outstanding commitment to her job and the children she works with was recently awarded with the Canadian Audiologist Speech Language Pathology Assistant (CASLPA) Supportive Personnel Award of Excellence for Canada. A newcomer to the field, Fryer graduated from Alberta’s Grant MacEwan College in 2010. While working full time as a teaching assistant for speech and language with School District #27, Fryer completed this distance education course with a GPA of 4.0. It’s hard not to be caught up in her enthusiasm for what she does, her love of the children she works with, and the laughter in her voice as she talks about her passion. “I have so much fun. My husband always comments on how happy I am when I come home. “I love the kids. I love their successes and they make the job great. It’s not a chore and every day is a joy.” The best part of the job, she says, is seeing the children’s successes and how they feel when they are successful. The job is intense and the workload heavy. Fryer goes into five elementary schools in the 100 Mile House area and works with 55 to 60 children once or twice a week,

depending on how often she can get into the schools. She may have nine therapy sessions in one day, including group sessions with up to four children. There is an enormous amount of preparatory work, organization and time management requirements, Fryer says, adding she needs to stay on top of new devel-

opments and therapies, create new ideas for the children, and maintain positive working relationships with colleagues and school district staff at all levels. Fryer also sees home-schooled students – all under the supervision of speech language pathologists from Williams Lake. “When I got the notification that

FAST bytes The Supreme Court has completed its judicial recounts, required after the final tally of provincial election ballots, and reversed the initial count outcome in the CoquitlamMaillardville constituency, from a BC Liberal lead to an NDP win, by only 35 votes. The BC NDP hung on to that riding in the recount, reaffirming Election BC Final Count election results. The Liberals now hold 49 seats, the NDP has 34, and the Green Party and an Independent each have a one seat.

I had won the award, I was shocked and humbled. So there I am, in front of over 300 people at the banquet from across Canada and stumbling over what to say.” However, Fryer says it isn’t about the award; it’s all about the children. “Every day, there’s a little story and it’s always joyful. Some days it just makes your heart melt.”

“[As with] other things that have happened, she said ‘fix it’, and it was fixed.” The Opposition could have chosen to also stand aside while Clark runs for the seat, but the BC NDP indicated it won’t do that. BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix says the local constituency association will choose a candidate, and the party will soon announce who this will be. “We are looking forward to running a strong campaign with an Okanagan candidate against the premier in Westside-Kelowna. The BC NDP will run a candidate with local roots who can offer the people of Kelowna and West Kelowna a strong, local voice in the legislature.” The NDP has never won a provincial election in the constituency – certainly a big part of why it was chosen by the BC Liberals – but if the opposition does win this one, how will that scramble the BC Liberal’s leadership? Says Barnett: “She won’t lose.” Clark resides in Vancouver, but says she will get a secondary residence in the constituency.

Bylaw clears up issues, challenges adoption. The District’s current business licence bylaw was passed in 2000 and is considered to be significantly outdated, and has been amended several times over the years. In a memorandum to council, it was noted that on a number of occasions, District staff has been challenged on its interpretation and the application of provisions of the bylaw, as it

With these issues in mind, staff prepared Bylaw 1252 for council’s consideration, with a view to cleaning up past issues in the old bylaw and trying to incorporate a variety of different application scenarios.

For example, he notes the old bylaw didn’t provide an avenue for the District to ensure groups going into the arena had a business licence. “It’s a matter of making sure we’re being fair to the businesses in our community. “That’s why we’re sending it to the Chamber to see if they have any questions or issues with our bylaw. Because if there are [issues], they can give it to us right away and we can make the changes while we’re working on it now.” Noting there have been some questions raised by councillors and staff is going to look into them, Campsall says he has issues with door-to-

“It is too much to speculate on whether or not it would work. I think if you brought a good business case to CN, we would look at it, but there are no guarantees either way what the outcome would be.” She provided Corbett with contacts to connect with the appropriate people at CN to begin the process. “We’ve heard this in many communities, and the answer is always the same,” noted Hamer. “Bring us an answer and we’ll have a look, and see if it works for scheduling and operations.

Training techniques seek answers Emergency doctors in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region recently learned the essentials of how to use an ultrasound machine to look for life threatening conditions. Called an Emergency Department Echo (EDE), the emergency ultrasound technique allows doctors to make patient-care decisions in minutes. South Cariboo Health Foundation spokesperson M-J Cousins notes that upon its recent purchase of a new ultrasound machine for the local emergency room, 100 Mile District General Hospital now joins Williams Lake Cariboo Memorial Hospital in its upto-date ultrasound capabilities. She adds the recent EDE course was hosted by the Central Interior

Dr. Koen Geerts, left, of 100 Mile House, and Dr. Mike Wolf, of Williams Lake, recently learned techniques from emergency ultrasound instructor Martin Betz, while they practised their new skills on Hannah Butcher, front right, and Mikayla Boyd.

Rural Division of Family Practice to provide new skills to 16 local emergency doctors who participated from both communities. Sometimes known as

ED Ultrasound or ED Echo, Cousins explains EDE is a significant addition to emergency medicine practice. Doctors are now able to use a basic ultrasound

unit to quickly and easily diagnose patients through confirming or eliminating the presence of one of five life-threatening conditions, she notes, in a dramatic

change to their patient management. Cousins says this technique has had a significant impact since first introduced in 2001. It not only allows physicians to occasionally make very quick diagnoses of potentially life-threatening conditions, the EDE has very frequently allowed them to rule out those conditions. In both cases, this has accelerated emergency patient management and improved the quality of health care treatment, she adds. This EDE training first developed by Dr. Ray Wiss of Sudbury, Ontario is now taught around the world, Cousins explains, and is considered a leading course in emergency department patient management.

Taseko wraps up review panel responses Carole Rooney Free Press

Taseko Mines has updated the New Prosperity GoldCopper Mine Project Federal Review Panel (FRP) on the status of its 11 outstanding Supplemental Information Request (SIR) responses. In a May 17 letter, Taseko states it has been carefully considering

these SIRs relating to its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This includes consulting with the regulatory agencies that provided input to the panel, which led to the requests, and that it is “diligently working” to provide sufficient information for the project to proceed to public hearings. Brian Battison,

Taseko vice-president of corporate affairs, says this information will be sufficient, but the mining company believes the panel has been asking for more extensive detail than necessary to begin the hearings. This amount of detail would normally be required at the permitting stage, he explains, so Taseko told the panel it is “fully aware”

District, employees negotiate five-year agreement Ken Alexander Free Press

District of 100 Mile House chief administrative officer (CAO) Roy Scott announced that after five productive sessions, the District and its unionized employees reached a collective agreement that covers a five-year period. The employees worked with the District to get the deal done, he said, adding the agreement will see wage increases of one, one, zero, one and two per cent over the five-year contract. Scott noted the net cost of wages and benefits will increase, with the overhead component, to 6.25 per cent during the five-year agreement. The CAO said there is a boot allowance, which will kick in every second

year, and there is additional two personal days over the course of the agreement. Scott added Councillor Ralph Fossum, engineering and community services director Phil Strain and the representatives of the District workforce should be thanked for working together in a professional and cooperative manner to get the deal done. A five-year contract in these times is almost unheard of, he noted. Given the state of the 100 Mile House economy, Fossum said it was nice to have some stability for the District. “I think it was fair for everyone.” Mayor Mitch Campsall agreed, saying it was also good for the employees to have some stability.

any project approval under Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) 2012 can be provided subject to various conditions – but further down the road. “There are appropriate times for this, but this isn’t the issuance of all the various permits and licences that we need, all of which require a greater level of detail that we will provide.” The EIS submitted back in 2011 is not the full environmental assessment, Battison notes, so the detailed, in-depth engineering studies should come

after the public hearing, if Taseko is then granted a certificate and applies for permits. Taseko’s letter noted one SIR in which the CEAA’s federal review panel questions a difference between the data interpretation of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Taseko, from a 1994 dewatering well pump test in the area. Taseko and NRCan have had extensive communications on this since the SIR was issued, Battison says, adding the SIR response will sufficiently address that.

Christy Clark and cabinet sworn in Development and Social Innovation Ministry. • Shirley Bond is the Minister of Tourism and Skills Training, and is responsible for labour. • Terry Lake takes on the Health Ministry. Norm Letnick, Ralph Sultan and Moira Stilwell lost their cabinet postings.

Ken Alexander 100 Mile Free Press Free Press Premier Christy Clark and her 19 cabinet ministers were sworn in by Governor General Judith Guichon at Government House on June 10. The cabinet will be a mixture of seasoned veterans, second-term ministers and newcomers to the Legislative Buildings, and there has been a significant shuffle in who is heading up the ministries. Clark said she plans to call the legislature back in session, which is a rarity for British Columbia MLAs, at the end of the month, even though she will be campaigning in the Westside-Kelowna byelection after losing her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to the NDP in the May 14 general election. The premier, who pulled off the impossible by pushing the B.C. Liberals from a doubledigit deficit in the polls at the beginning of the election campaign to forming a majority government, added the session will focus on balancing the budget. Clark noted new legislation won’t be introduced this summer, but British Columbians can expect to see an updated version of last February’s budget. It’s expected veteran B.C. Liberal MLA Linda

Premier Christy Clark led her cabinet ministers to Government House to take the oath of office June 10. Clark will be seeking a seat in a byelection in Westside-Kelowna in the near future.

Reid will be nominated for speaker of the legislature. Cabinet ministers have already been given their marching orders, as they received their “mandate letters” outlining their priorities during the B.C. Liberal government’s four-year mandate. They have also been tasked to do “core reviews” within their ministries, with an eye on functions the government doesn’t need to do and reducing excessive government red tape and regulations. One of the immediate government hot-button items falls on the shoulders of new Education Minister Peter Fassbender, as he will be tasked with seeking a 10-year agreement with BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) – a goal Premier Clark announced during the run-up to the pro-

However, he adds Taseko remains concerned the general level of detailed studies being sought by the panel is much higher than needed in these early project stages. “To provide that information requires the expenditure of further millions of dollars. So, would you really put any proponent into the situation of having to fully design, to the point of ‘ready to build’

- which is a couple of hundred million dollars, maybe - and then say, ‘Yeah, we don’t like it, no, sorry, done’?” He says people should be aware this is not the end of the safety and security checks and balances that go into the project, but rather it’s part of the initial stages. Taseko is targeting to have SIR responses to the panel by the second week of June, and Battison maintains these should be sufficient to go to public hearings.

On the local front, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett has been moved from being Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Communities and Development under the Minister of Community, Tourism, Sport and Cultural Development. She is now the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for Rural Development. Said Premier Clark: “She will use her passion for rural British Columbia to make sure our government is helping build the economy in these important regions of the province.” New ministers • Rich Coleman heads up the new Natural Gas Development ministry, and is still the Deputy Premier and minister responsible for housing. • Mike de Jong is Finance Minister and Government House Leader. • Steve Thomson stays on as the Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. • Teresa Wat heads up the new Ministry

First Nations and the Evolution of Canadian Law

Canadians who take the time to review their own history will ﬁnd it hard to deny that the treatment of First Nations has been shameful. Anyone tempted to deny that reality should spend a few hours learning about the residential schools. An examination of the evolution of Canadian law reveals an explosion of cases over the past 40 years redeﬁning the relationship between First Nations and government. One way of looking at those cases is to say that the Canadian legal system has been forced to recognize rights which it had previously ignored. One of the results of the evolving legal recognition of First Nations’ rights has been the creation of a “duty to consult.” At the risk of oversimplifying, the duty to consult requires government to consult with First Nations which might be affected by a proposed grant of rights over lands subject to First Nations’ treaty rights or claims.

It is often said that with rights come responsibilities. The recent case of Behn v. Moulton Contracting Ltd. (2013 SCC 26) provides an example of this principle in action. The Behns were a First Nations’ family who were harmed when Moulton Contracting Ltd. started logging operations where the Behns had a trap line. When the Behns realized that logging operations were starting, they blocked the access road. Moulton Contracting Ltd. responded by taking legal action. In the documents which the Behns ﬁled with the Court, they alleged that the government had failed to respect the duty to consult. In fact, however, the government had consulted before issuing timber harvesting licences in the Behns’ trapping area. The Fort Nelson First Nation and the Behns had participated in discussions relating to the proposed issuance of licences.

In its decision, the Supreme Court of Canada indicated that it was an abuse of the Court’s process for the Behns to claim breach of the duty to consult. The Court pointed out that when the Behns ﬁrst learned that timber harvesting licences had been issued, they could have applied for judicial review or an injunction. Instead, they waited until Moulton Contracting Ltd. actually started to log and then chose the self-help remedy of civil disobedience. In essence, the Court’s decision tells First Nations to use the Courts, where that choice is available, to defend their legal rights. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Danns host information meeting on proposed Webb Lake development By Diana Forster Crooked Lake Ranch, off Lee Road on Webb Lake, was the home of Borre and Gerardine Van Doorninck. Their 154-acre horse ranch was sold to Miles and Ashley MorganDann who had spent many years vacationing at the ranch and had gone to school with the Van Doorninck’s late son, Eric. The Dann family hosted an information meeting at Interlakes Hall on June 1 to detail their vision for the ranch. As explained by their surveyor Bill Chapman, the land is not in the Agricultural Land Reserve, but does have to conform to “agricultural usage” as per the Interlakes Official Community Plan. The property’s current agricultural zoning – minimum lot size of 80 acres – would need rezoning to decrease this requirement. Their planned strata development is intended to protect the property’s agricultural usage by making 11 people responsible for it rather than one; and by doubling the current

There would be 11 two-plus-acre strata lots, each with a 1,200 square foot cabin and a small corral attached; and each would be 125 feet from its neighbour. The remaining 87 acres would be common

status of the property. Most of the attendees at the meeting were opposed to the development because “the density is too much for these little lakes.” Of particular concern were septic and water services. Chapman noted they could not cover these factors until the overall plan was approved in principle, but they envisaged septic fields and a holding tank that would be pumped out. He also implied that each cabin would have a drilled well, and that water is not a problem as the current dwelling has a 300-foot drilled well with water 30 feet down.

property for use by all owners and their horses. Owners would pay $750 a month for maintenance and care-taking of their horses. This was to ensure the development “remains a horse ranch in perpetuity’’ and environmentally sensitive. Each owner would have 1/11th vote and responsibility for maintaining the agricultural

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.

He added the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure would require improvements to the Highway 24/Lee Road intersection. One attendee, who described herself as “violently opposed,” said “there are hundreds of small properties for sale and we don’t need to develop more.” Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area L Director Bruce Rattray and several of his advisory planning committee members were in attendance to hear residents’ opinions. Any public hearing on this matter will take place later if, and after, the plan passes two readings by the CRD.

Government changes

Don’t ignore the elephant in room

ecently, Vancouver hosted municipal leaders from across Canada at the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference. But the proverbial elephant in the municipal living room – spending – is getting little attention. In fact, only 45 minutes of the four-day conference was dedicated to municipal financing. Most of that conversation probably went something like this: “We have suffered terribly from the downloading of other levels of government and need more taxing powers to address revenue challenges, including the ‘infrastructure’ deficit.” This is the wrong conversation. It does not deal with the underlying challenge that municipalities face with respect to their finances. Let’s examine municipal spending. It has increased dramatically over the past 12 years. Municipalities can’t run deficits, so that means

their revenues have also It is tempting to blame increased dramatically. other levels of government It is reasonable to assume for municipal problems. But that municipal spending does that really make sense? would keep pace with Municipalities claim they increases in population and are falling behind on one of with increases in prices their core responsibilities(inflation).

GUEST SHOT

e really have to hand it to Premier Christy Clark – not only the way she handled last month’s provincial election, but also how she is setting up the B.C. Liberal government for the next four years. Lets face it, Clark almost single-handedly pulled a rabbit from the hat during the campaign – well, she got a little help from NDP Leader Adrian Dix who bumbled and stumbled down the stretch. During the televised debate, it looked like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders and she started carrying herself like a strong and confident leader. The premier continues to show that confidence and those strong leadership qualities as she shapes her new government. Clark is definitely putting a new face on the B.C. Liberal government. While some of the changes have come out of necessity due to the retirement of several longtime MLAs and some cabinet ministers, these were the same members of government who were onboard when the party was on the brink of disaster. There is little doubt the B.C. Liberals got a real scare during the election campaign. It’s also reasonable to assume the premier saw the light and realized her government has to change the way it does things if it’s going to survive another election. This is why she has brought a lot of the first time MLAs into the inner circle – they’re bright, eager and many bring a lot of municipal government experience with them. Clark sees them as the future and wants to train and mold them from the ground up. This became abundantly apparent when she handed out to-do lists to her MLAs detailing what she expects them to accomplish during the B.C. Liberal government’s mandate. Premier Clark appears to be moving towards government transparency, as she has also produced a ministerial list, detailing everything she expects her cabinet ministers to get done in the next four years. We applaud her for that move because it will give British Columbians a report card to check off as the various items are accomplished. Conversely, it will let us know what’s not being accomplished and, therefore, where pressure must be applied. However, there were two items we didn’t like hearing this past week. One was the loss of having a Minister of State for Seniors. Now seniors issues fall into the hands of a parliamentary secretary. The other was Clark’s promise to “update” February’s provincial budget during the upcoming summer session – that brings back those awful memories of the HST debacle.

Columbia municipalities increased by 273 per cent, So, where is all this new municipal revenue going? Municipal employment increased by double the rate of population growth over the past 12 years. In addition, municipal employees make 36 per cent more in wages and benefits than equivalent jobs in the private sector. To unravel the overspending, this is where we must start. We are having the wrong conversation about municipal financial challenges. Municipalities are not challenged by too little revenue; they are struggling to keep spending within reasonable bounds. We need to change the conversation because when you ignore the elephant in the room for too long, it invariably makes a mess of the room, and everyone in it.

Opinion

Local MP Cathy McLeod responds to critic To the editor: On May 29 (page A9), Liberal Human Resources and Skills Development critic Rodger Cuzner wrote a rather misleading letter to the editor, headlined Backward Tory priorities hurt students, with some distorted claims about the Canada Summer Jobs Grant. What I can tell you is that in 2011, our government permanently increased the annual budget for

Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million, bringing the total program budget to $107.5 million. The Canada Summer Jobs initiative is an important part of our Youth Employment Strategy (YES), which also includes the Skills Link and Career Focus programs. With an annual budget of more than $300 million, YES helps youth obtain career information, develop employment skills, find jobs and

stay employed. Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2013 also proposes an additional investment of $70 million over three years in YES to support 5,000 more paid internships. This is further to the extra $50 million that was invested through EAP 2012 to enhance YES with a new initiative that connects young Canadians with jobs that are in high demand and helps them

develop tangible skills and gain work experience. This funding has helped organizations and youth across the country, including here in the region, where, for example, $455,983 was provided to employers in our riding to hire students this summer, and the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre received $275,746 just last month. While the Liberal critic claims

our government’s priorities “seem to have been set in a bubble” on investing in our youth, the facts clearly demonstrate otherwise. He concludes that Canada’s youth should be helped until their job market recovers, and thankfully under a Conservative government, they are. Cathy McLeod, MP Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

CIDA decision troubling Lack of good news no surprise To the editor: International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino’s recently announced direction for Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is deeply troubling. Aligning Canada’s development aid with extraction industries appears to undermine the whole purpose of aid, which is to assist others to achieve economic independence and self sufficiency. Diverting precious aid dollars to already profitable corporations that provide very little economic benefit beyond their shareholders, is cynical at best. Canada has a long and proud tradition of making a positive contribution to the global community, especially in the areas of health. A chronically ill population will always function far below potential. If Minister Fantino’s intent is to help under-performing nations, Canada already has shown great success with TB-REACH and The Global Fund to

Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and yet CIDA plans to severely cut funding for these programs starting next year. Diverting funds from proven successful, lifesaving programs such as these is a direction that advocates for the world’s poor could never endorse. This is the same government that quashed the proposed mining accountability act, which would have imposed a very minimal code of ethical conduct on Canadian mining companies operating in the developing world. It makes me question the sincerity of CIDA’s new approach. Is CIDA to become a shill for Canadian extraction industries – aid to become a source of profit? If Mr. Fantino is really concerned about the world’s poor, funding for proven health programs like TB-REACH and The Global Fund must be restored. Nathaniel Poole Victoria

To the editor: Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent recently lamented the lack of good news he and his department are receiving in the media. One has to wonder where this Conservative minister has been for the last few years. Just look at his record. Under Minister Kent’s watch, the Conservatives have gutted environmental protection, eviscerated the Fisheries Act, dismantled protection of Canada’s lakes and rivers, and drastically reduced the budget of Parks Canada. With their majority, the Conservatives have rammed through Parliament two omnibus budget bills to avoid scrutiny of the elimination of most federal environmental assessments and the removal of protection for fish habitat, paving the road

for resource development with no oversight or consultation with Aboriginal people and stakeholders. After seven years of stalling and polarizing the debate, serious measures to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change have gone nowhere. Fu r t h e r m ore , the Conservatives have reduced our capacity to monitor polluters and the ability to make evidence-based decisions by cutting hundreds of scientists at Environment Canada. They have also cut Canada’s ozone monitoring and research program and are closing the world-renowned facility for freshwater research and education, the Experimental Lakes Area. Why does Mr. Kent think this is all good news? It’s because the Conservative Party thinks pro-

tecting the environment hurts the economy. They’re wrong. Resource development can be responsible and can still create jobs while protecting the environment. Proper environmental assessments not only ensure development does not harm our planet, but they ensure that it has a social licence to proceed. Without the proper approvals, protests and legal challenges will dog projects for years and create expensive uncertainty for business plans. Instead of burying his head in the sand, Minister Kent should be restoring oversight and doing his job to fight climate change and protect Canada’s environment. Now that would be great news!

BC VIEWS

As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in British Columbia. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobwebcovered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both the B.C. Liberal and NDP parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and

You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But, MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Around

the province Creepy crawlies come to play

PRINCE GEORGE - Thanks to a forest tent caterpillar infestation everywhere in the city is ‘bugged.’ The malacosoma disstria, as it is scientifically called, has been a pest locally at least as far back as the 1920s, when the Forest Service began documenting its hungry hike up, down and around its favourite food source, the trembling aspen, or poplar tree. Emile Begin, a local registered professional forester, spent the first 25 years of his career working at the Forest Health office, documenting a variety of pests, including the forest tent caterpillar. He said the infestation comes as a cycle. “It’s anywhere from three to six or seven years, so kind of an 11-year cycle with three to six of infestation,” he said. There really is no peak year of infestation within that cycle. Rather the prevalence of the bug is dependent largely on weather, particularly because its natural nemesis, a bacterium known as BTK, needs warm moist weather - and plenty of tent caterpillars to feed on - to flourish. Destruction in the Prince George Forest Service Area is likely to be extensive, though that won’t be known for a surety until August, when aerial sketch mapping is done.

Lightning causes wildfire

WILLIAMS LAKE - The region had its first lightning wildfire of the season on June 5. “A strike was called in by the public near 141 Mile House and Enterprise Road on the east side of Highway 97,” said fire information officer Greig Bethel. “One Initial Attack crew from Williams Lake actioned the wildfire — it turned out to be a single Douglas fir tree was smoking and shattered from the lightning strike.” An IA crew returned Thursday to fall the remains of tree and execute mop-up. “In wildfire speak, this was a ‘kick and spit,’” Bethel said. Out in the west part of the Chilcotin conditions drying out, meaning the danger rating has gone up from low to moderate.

C ap sule C omments The term “off-label drugs” refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an anti-malarial drug to treat night time leg cramps. Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine. Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has. It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, “there’s no such thing as a healthy tan”. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILD OUT OF A GANG • Promote self-esteem and humility. • Spend quality time with your child. • Be a positive role model and set the right example. • Get to know your child’s friends and their families. • Teach your child how to cope with peer pressure. • Get involved in your child’s school activities. In a recent survey, youth who did not become involved in gangs rated the following character strengths in themselves, as most important to them. The findings suggest these characteristics should

be promoted and valued by parents and the community as a way to build resiliency against gang membership. Their strengths included honour, love, honesty, teamwork, kindness, creativity and thankfulness. Protective factors that build resiliency against gang involvement include: • Creating a positive social environment that surrounds the youth through community support, family and service organizations. • Building strong family bonds, completing school, and having a positive peer group. • Promoting social,

Grant workshops offered free

Carole Rooney Free Press

Three grant writing workshops and one-toone sessions are being held across the region, with a strong focus on application information for the BC Community Gaming Grants program. The Cariboo Regional District, North Cariboo Community Futures and the Northern Interior Communities Association are co-hosting these workshops for community groups, organizations and charities in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Attendees will learn how to write and submit a successful application for the gaming grants that fund arts and culture, sports, public

safety, environment and social programs. Organizations may also sign up for one-to-one grant writing sessions. While the workshops will focus on the gaming grant program, two other upcoming sector intakes will also be discussed, for the Public Safety and Environment (July 1-Aug. 31) and Human and Social Service (Aug. 1-Nov. 30) application windows. The workshop and sessions are free, and light refreshments will be available. In 100 Mile House, this will take place Aug. 11 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, with the workshop running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and one-to-one sessions between 3 and 5 p.m.

To register, e-mail to grantwriter@cariboord. bc.ca, indicating if you wish to have a 30-minute, one-to-one session. These time slots are available on a firstcome-first-serve basis. Folks who can’t make this date will be able to attend others in the north end. On June 15, the workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and one-toone sessions from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Quesnel Tillicum Society Native Friendship Centre, 319 North Fraser Dr. To register, e-mail chris tine@cfquesnel.ca.

Looking Ahead: the looming food crisis to start building a food inventory now? We cannot rely on food banks and churches to be able to deal with an epidemic of food shortages. It should be recognized that governments, facing serious budget deficiencies, are not going to come to the aid of municipalities when things get out of control. With this information readily at hand, you would think there would be some cause for alarm – not so. While the Federation of C an a d i an Municipalities has stated communities are ill prepared for the coming food crisis, mainstream media, along with a vast majority of the population, are basically ignoring this threat. Why is there such

By Robert Nichol Warning: This article contains important information folks need and have a right to know – not for the faint of heart. The United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization released the news that food prices are the highest they’ve ever been and they’re going to get higher. The days of cheap food, apparently, are numbered. More important is the loss of supply, with major food shortages on the horizon. The UN, World Bank and World Trade Organization all proclaim a worldwide food crisis is imminent for 2013 and the years ahead. With world grain stocks at their lowest ebb ever, the World Food Program describes the current global food crisis as a silent tsunami with billions of people going hungry. “We are now one year away from global food riots,” complex systems theorists at Cambridge University say. “We are in the midst of a long-term systemic food crisis and the global food system is riddled with failings.” (The Walrus Magazine) Some 46 million people in the United States are on their food stamp program, while Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has ordered a 7,000 per cent (%) increase in survival meals. What do they know that we don’t? Following the collapse of the U.S. housing market, Wall Street, banks and major hedge fund managers realized they needed a new source of profit and turned their attention from houses to food. Global food prices are currently set by the commodity futures market, which operates like a giant casino where commodities traders are the high rollers;

denial? We are staring right in the face of a complete collapse of our food system and no amount of avoidance of this fact is going to make it go away. The reality of what’s occurring needs to be made real in the minds of people intent on preserving the status quo – the consumption of food at its present rate, is not sustainable. Therefore, we are putting on a conference on sustainable food systems, entitled Looking Ahead, at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on June 15 at 9 a.m. (See ad on B7.) Please come and share your ideas for a community food plan. Tickets at the door are $25 – includes lunch. Robert Nichol is the conference moderator.

The “Buy Local-Eat Local” aprons said it all when Emily Johnson, left, and Keri Donnelly served beefon-a-bun made from local ranch-raised meat, with the help of Tina Johnson, back, at a recent South Cariboo Farmers’ Market.

an elite group of Wall Street power brokers are the house; and our daily bread is merely one of the chips in the pot in this high-stakes winnertakes-all game. While the bankers pocket the profits, the world’s poor teeter on the brink of starvation. This speculative bubble is about to burst soon and people will be hard pressed to maintain their food budget due to price hikes and spikes, and unless they grow their own food or can get it from the farmer down the road, they are going to be facing shortages and hunger. Despite the fact that 2.6 million people in Canada are deemed “food insecure” and almost one million hit the food banks each month, there is nothing in the recent federal budget about food security. It seems to me government agencies are avoiding the inevitable. Given that British Columbia has to import

more than half of its food, 80% of its vegetables and 70% of its fruits (according to some sources) and that we only have one per cent of prime farmland, shouldn’t there be a major effort put forth towards local sustainable food systems while not having to rely on imports? We have become dependent on external forces for our food

needs and there are other unknown vulnerabilities, such as the impact of severe climate change, extreme weather and the increasing costs of production and transportation. A report by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, stresses the need for increased food capacity for B.C. Local food systems are on the rise and we need to

Jeanette Gellein of 108 Mile Ranch has been a club member for three years, since relocating from Vancouver Island.

Gardening in the South Cariboo can be a challenge, but there’s a group of people who are willing to help and share their knowledge and their plants. The 100 Mile District Garden Club, with its 38 members, meets on the fourth Saturday of each month in the Multipurpose Room at the hospital at 10 a.m. Meetings often feature guest speakers who have covered topics, such as soil preparation, composting and bee keeping, and all sorts of practical things. The club has been around since 1960 and is part of the BC Council of Garden Clubs. Members go beyond tending just their own gardens. They’ve recently teamed up with the 100 Mile Lions Club to maintain plants and shrubbery at Parkside Art Gallery on a volunteer basis. Membership with the club costs $12 a year or $2 for drop-ins, and every year, some of the money is given away in the form of a $500 bursary to a graduating student at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School who will be continuing his or her education in the field of natural sciences.

bee balm and leopard’s bane, to be unappetizing to deer, and she says moth balls hung in small net baskets around the garden are also deterrents. Gellein also uses a product called Plantskydd Deer Repellent with success. “We’re always discussing what works to keep deer away and there’s always someone at garden club who knows the answer.” Every year, there is a garden tour scheduled in a different corner of the South Cariboo and Gellein says she looks forward to them. “I love going. You get so many ideas and see how other people do their gardens. It’s quite amazing what grows here and people make their homes beautiful.” Club members will be thinning out their gardens for a perennial plant sale June 15 at the parking lot of Cariboo Mall. The sale starts at 10 a.m. and will last until plants are gone. For more information about the garden club, call club president Lindsay Roberts at 250791-5756 or Debbie Porter at 250-791-6472.

MP asks for public opinion Senate reform, abolishment surveyed

Carole Rooney Free Press

K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is conducting a poll to gather her constituents’ viewpoints on the future of the Senate. The question is on her website and in her e-newsletter. It asks:

How have the recent events in Ottawa affected your opinion on the issue of Senate abolishment or reform? The three potential answers are: I more strongly support abolishing the Senate; I more strongly support reforming the Senate; and the issue is not the Senate, it is senators who

abuse taxpayers’ dollars. The Senate is on everyone’s mind right now, McLeod says, so she is “very, very interested” to see what the citizens in her riding have to say about the issue, while government awaits a response from a higher echelon. “We have done a referral to the Supreme

Court to ask a number of questions around how we can reform the Senate.” The Conservative government wants the Supreme Court to deem if the government can reform the Senate though legislation, if it needs to reopen the Constitution to do that, and what would be required for

Senate abolishment. government to move “We had proposed forward, but meanlegislation for while, McLeod term limits says she hopes in elections, to have a sufand we were ficient number challenged by of responses to Quebec in terms justify bringing of the constituthe results to tionality of it.” Ottawa.

Invasive Species Week: time to consider invasions Are you aware of what is lurking in your garden or local lake? Beware of the invasive species. British Columbia’s Invasive Species Week is June 10-17. Folks can help by learning how to identify invasive species (IS) that may be in their own backyards, or hiding in the bilge of their boats. Invasive species are easy to report with the Report-A-Weed App, available for iPhone and Android Smartphones at www.reportaweedbc. ca. The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) works collaboratively with regional invasive plant/species committees that offer a range of programs for the public to engage in the prevention the spread of IS. For more information on the region committee in your area, visit www.bcinvasives.ca/ general/regional-committees. During Invasive Species Week, check your property for invasive plants, and learn how to help by removing and replacing them with similar native species. To help you make this transition, the PlantWise

pilot program this summer is being launched to prevent the further introduction and spread of invasive plants in B.C. Invasive plants continue to be sold in many nursery and gardening outlets across B.C., and are traded as seeds, transplants or starter plants by gardening and landscaping enthusiasts. More than 58 per cent of invasive plants arrive

in Canada as landscape plants, ornamentals, agricultural crops or plants for medicinal and research purposes, and can become so abundant and widespread they out-compete native plants causing detrimental economic, social, and environmental impacts. Before taking your boat out this summer, make sure you know how to properly clean,

drain and dry (CDD) your boat to prevent the spread of aquatic IS. This summer marks the second year of the CDD program, and staff members are on the ground in five high risk regions in the province – the Fraser Valley, South-Central Okanagan, NorthCentral Okanagan, Shuswap, and Central Kootenays. The CDD program

Pedal the metal for mental health

Carole Rooney Free Press

The date is drawing near for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) annual bike ride at 108 Mile Ranch on June 23, and more riders are encouraged to cycle for charity. Organizer Valinda Boyd says there is plenty of room for more riders and event volunteers for the Ride Don’t Hide event, which is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. “We just want people to support mental health, as well as physical health in our community.”

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club has partnered with CMHA for this year’s event. Three newly-signed Wranglers players will be riding their bikes as “event champions.” CMHA volunteer Didi Henderson is riding again this year, after enjoying last year’s event, where she got together with friends and neighbours and entered as a team. She says The Meadowlark Gang challenges other teams to enter and try to take its “Golden Spoke Award” away, which the team won in 2012 for the

most creative outfits. Raising awareness of mental health issues and reducing the stigma is very important, Henderson adds. More information and registration forms are available online at www.ridedonthide.com, or pick up a form downtown at Didi’s Boutique. Registrations will be accepted until the start of the event, but folks are encouraged to register earlier. Volunteers are still needed, so if you can help out with the event, call David Majcher at 250-395-3269 or e-mail davidmajcher@shaw.ca.

Evening at the Oasis exotic entertainment Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Expect a spectacular night of exotic dance at Evening at the Oasis at 100 Mile Community Hall, June 22. The entertainment lineup includes performances by The Baladi Babes belly dance troupe, Cheralyn’s Polynesian Dancers, Fi Fi la Rouge burlesque, Gameela and her Mystique belly dance

troupe, belly dancer Esmerelda, and several more. A number of belly dance supply vendors will also be there before the show. The belly dance culture has been alive and well in the South Cariboo for approximately 20 years and Oasis spokesperson Kerri Mingo says the area currently boasts about 20 dancers. The attraction, she says, is the fun factor.

Most dances tell a story or portray a theme and the exotic costumes accentuate them with lots of bling, colour and sound from bell and coin embellishments, she adds. Mingo says it’s been several years since the belly dance community has put on a big show similar to this, and they’re excited. The show starts at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m.

Grandmothers walk for grandmothers Gold Rush Grannies of the South Cariboo will be lacing up their hiking shoes on June 15 to walk in solidarity with African grandmothers who are caring for grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. The walk is part of a national campaign called Stride to Turn the Tide and it begins at 10 a.m. at Cariboo Mall and ends at Coach House Square. A small group will extend the walk for a distance of approximately 10 kilometres. If the ground is dry enough, the second leg of the walk will take place in Exeter Valley, and if too wet, it will be held on the loop trail

around 108 and Sepa Lakes. “Grandmothers in Africa often have to walk great distances to access any basic services,” says Grannies member Wendy Hamblin. She notes approximately 10 members of the local group will participate, but anyone can join them. Hamblin is also ask-

ing people to support the walk by pledging a walker, or putting a cash donation in collections jars located at Nuthatch Books, Diana’s Deli and Sub Shop, and Purple Zebra. For more information, contact Wendy Hamblin at 250791-0024 or see the campaign website at w w w. g r a n d m o t h e r scampaign.org.

Financial Tip of the Week With Successor Annuitant for RRIFs

For RRIF’s when naming your spouse as beneficiary, you are given the option of having your spouse receive the RRIF as a lump sum or choosing your spouse as the Dave Simkins “successor annuitant” to the RRIF. If a successor annuitant election is not Account Executive made, the deceased’s RRIF will be collapsed causing a disposition of the investments in the RRIF followed by a rollover to an RRSP or RRIF of the surviving spouse. There may be several disadvantages to this. It may not be a good time to sell the investments in the RRIF or there may also be selling costs to consider. The successor annuitant designation is effortless. The spouse simply takes over from the deceased and continues to receive RRIF payments in his/her place. The investments in the RRIF are not affected by this, as there is no need to execute a new contract. Please read the prospectus before investing.

Youth gain heavy equipment training

Carole Rooney Free Press

Nine Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School Grade 11 and 12 students had a chance to learn how to drive heavy equipment – or hone their current skills – at a Heavy Metal Rocks course in Williams Lake, recently. Grade 11 student Jane Wiltshire says she had enrolled on the advice of two friends who took the course previously, as well as with encouragement from her family, and adds she found it was a “really cool” adventure. “It was a really good experience.” The best part for her was running the biggest excavator, she says, and learning how to control it with two joysticks and electronics. “I completely stepped out of my whole element; I am scared of everything.” The 17-year-old was less fearful once she got to the “really huge pit” in Williams Lake where the three-day machine operation segment was held from 7:30 a.m. to

Casey Lang photo

Students in grades 11-12 at Peter Skene Ogden participated in the recent Heavy Metal Rocks course at the pit in Williams Lake where all of the machine operation takes place. They learned how to operate heavy equipment from excavators to graders to dump trucks, and earned safety certificates.

5 p.m. However, she was a bit frightened when manoeuvring a big dump truck. Jane won a $200 Safety Award bursary for her performance in the pit, which she says further inspired her and enhanced the already memorable experience. “I know what I want to do for my life career now – I definitely want to run machinery.”

Casey Lang, 17, says he had already chosen this trade for a future career after his past machine experiences with his father’s company, but signed up for the course because it was a good opportunity to handle some of the newest equipment and controls. “I thought it was going to be a little bit different, a little bit of a challenge, but it turned

out good in the end. I learned lots. “The only problem for me was there are different kinds of controls and I am used to the other kind ... but in the end, I figured it out and I got good.” While he explains the joystick controls were a challenge compared to the old style stick-and-steering wheel machines, Casey left the course with the

Best Overall Operator award, along with a $200 bursary. The other students nominated him for the Citizenship Award because of his positive attitude. The Grade 11 student says the course gave him “a little taste” of the correct operation of each piece of heavy equipment in the course. Tia O’Gorman is also in Grade 11, and says

Preventing human-wildlife conflicts All the bears have come out of hibernation; they are hungry and they searching for food. Those animals that have become conditioned to non-natural food sources, such as garbage or composts, will return to communities to help themselves. Young cougars travel widely to search for unoccupied territory, which can lead to increased encounters with people. These animals can also be inexperienced hunters and are more likely to seek out alternative prey, such as pets. Wildlife, including coyotes, is susceptible to attractants and intentional feeding by people. The most effective and natural way to prevent conflicts with wildlife in urban areas is to put away

food attractants like garbage, birdseed, compost, pet food and fruit. Communities where attractants are managed properly have seen a decline in related human-wildlife conflicts and in the number of animals that have to be destroyed. The public is encouraged to report human-wildlife conflicts that threaten public safety or result in significant property damage by calling the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line, toll-free at 1-877952- RAPP (7277), or visit the RAPP website at www.rapp.bc.ca. FAST bytes It’s important that you know what to do when you encounter wildlife, such as bears, cougars, coyotes and wolves, in urban areas.

• It’s essential to remain calm and never approach the animal. • Always keep the animal in front of you (never turn your back) and back away slowly (never run). • Make yourself look as large as possible by waving your arms above your head. Make loud noises, shout at the animal in a loud, aggressive voice, or bang pots and pans and throw objects, like rocks and sticks. • If possible, bring children and pets indoors. The Conservation Officer Service is the primary responder to human-wildlife conflicts where there is a risk to public safety, conservation concerns or where significant property damage. Under the Wildlife Act, conservation officers can issue a $230

ticket or notice for a court appearance to residents who do not secure attractants. Residents who intentionally leave out items that attract dangerous wildlife could also be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order.

Failure to comply with an order carries a $575 fine. In 2012/13, the Conservation Officer Service received 25,184 calls regarding humanwildlife conflicts. Of those calls, 15,833 involved human-bear conflicts.

she is going to enrol in a construction course at Thompson Rivers University after she graduates next year. “I figure it was a good opportunity to get some certificates because we got our [Occupational] First Aid Level 1, WHMIS [Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System] and construction safety certificates. “Plus, I’ve always wanted to run machinery.” The 16-year-old explains she really enjoyed the course, but not the camping outside all week. “The hardest thing was definitely the grader ... you have to remember to turn your blades and keep watching both sides, while keeping your steer-

ing in the right spot. It was mostly just a lot of focus.” She won a $20 gift card for scoring three points on the simulator, which Tia explains is a pseudo-machine cab that provides an electronic equipment simulation experience before tackling the real deal. “I wasn’t quite as interested in machinery before, but now I have almost decided maybe doing this kind of work would be better than construction. Because, I think it is actually kind of fun.” Other students in the recent Heavy Metal Rocks course were Brooke Evans, Keith Edney, Colin Stockill, Nevin Boyd, Alex Menzel and Megan Martin.

Squirts ball team digs into season Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The 100 Mile ‘N’ Hour Squirts rep fastball team started its season with a bang, playing at the Richmond May Mayhem tournament, May 24-26. It’s known as the largest boys’ fastball tournament in British Columbia and competition was stiff, says coach Cale Tessaro. There were no wins for the South Cariboo squad, but Tessaro says he’s proud of his team, which includes seven first-year rep players. “With it being their first games of the season and being in a big city, they played very well. We

played against teams that have played 10-15 games already.” The tournament opener for Mile ‘N’ Hour was against Fleetwood during which Tanner Hooper delivered strong pitching and Hayden Prodnuk hit a three-run homer to pick up the MVP award. The game ended in a 10-7 decision for Fleetwood. Surrey proved to be a formidable opponent in game 2, during which the southern team took the game 18-4. Marshall Tessaro was named MVP. Mile ‘N’ Hour went toe-to-toe with Richmond in game 3, dishing out everything it had, but having to settle for an 18-9 loss. Dallas Quintal was awarded the MVP for his strong fielding and

pitching. The final game on Sunday against Cloverdale saw Levi McQueen hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning, which briefly brought his team to within one run of a tie, but Cloverdale pulled ahead to finish the game 15-6 in its favour. Next, the squad travelled to Williams Lake for a tournament on June 2, and it came out with a four-game sweep and the overall victory. Hooper and Brayden Glen were strong on the pitcher’s mound and also hit home runs, along with Prodnuk. “It was a big confidence-booster for the squad to win this weekend,” says coach Tessaro.

Wranglers sign five players for season

Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club has just signed five players for the upcoming Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) season. Club president Tom Bachynski says the signings make it feel like everything is coming together for the Wranglers. “It feels like the team is building. It felt like a dream sequence, but now kids are signing up and they’re coming to [main] camp and their

forming a team. “It’s unique to watch because it’s the first time it’s happened for us; it’s exhilarating really.” Noting the players who have signed are from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Vanderhoof, Kamloops and West Kelowna, Bachynski says the club’s business proposal is to look through the central and northern regions of the province for different hockey talent. “I think you’ll see that we’ll be signing some more kids from north of us because that was kind of our focus right from the start.

“Five are already committed but we still have lots to go, but it’s a bit of a chess game that you have to play because you have to wait to see where kids end up playing and where they’re accepted and where they’re not accepted. Some are going to try to play Junior A, and if they don’t make Junior A, you want to be there to try to bring them in by offering an opportunity.” Bachynski adds it will get more exciting as the weeks go on in terms of team development. General manager and head coach Doug Rogers is in charge of signing

the players and he’s pleased with the first five signings. Jayden Syrota is a five-foot-10 170-pound defenceman from Vanderhoof. Born in 1997, Syrota will go down in the club’s history book, as he was the first player to sign with the Wranglers. He played for the Fort St. James Midget Stars last season, and as a 15-year-old, Syrota was invited to the Saskatoon Blades camp of the Western Hockey League (WHL) where, Rogers says, he performed well.

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Bighorn Archery Club held an outdoor 3D shoot and camp-out at 99 Mile on June 1-2. The event attracted 86 archers, including visitors from Squamish, Kamloops, Langley, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George. The 3D shoot featured two different fun and challenging courses set up in the forest, with 20 targets apiece. Each competitor made one complete round on each of the two days. Saturday evening saw socializing and sharing of a chicken and lasagna dinner prepared by BJ’s Donuts & Eatery. Event spokesperson denise swift says there a fair amount of activity at one camp, centred around a gas-powered blender, which was kept busy all weekend churning out fancy drinks. She says feedback from people attending the shoot was very positive. “It’s amazing how the same old thing can be fun time after time.

Derby winner catches more than he bargained for

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Doug Williston of 108 Mile Ranch was the clear winner at the 26th Annual Watch LakeGreen Lake Fishing Derby Fishing Derby, June 1-2. The lucky angler reeled in an 8 lb. 7 1/4 oz. rainbow trout from Watch Lake on Saturday to win the $500 cash first prize. Last year’s winner was 2 lb. 14 oz. rainbow trout. However, Williston had a rough start to

the derby weekend. He launched his boat and tied it up, but when towing the boat trailer out of the water, it caught the rope and dragged the boat back onto the shore. Then, when finally afloat, he made his first cast, but the wind caught his fishhook and blew it into his head. Williston says he tore out a chunk of scalp, but it wasn’t a bad day all around. “It was a bad start to a good finish.” He was thrilled to

win a new rod and reel as one of his prizes and says the $500 cash prize takes care of half his property tax for the year. In total, 100 fish were weighed in during the derby, with three of them caught in Green Lake. Ray Johnson hooked two of the three, including the heaviest fish in Green, which tipped the scale at 5 lb. 3/4 oz. and won second prize overall $200 cash. Saturday proved to be the busiest of the two

days, with 76 fish reeled in. Sunday’s total was 24. Pat Dunne weighed in the first fish on Saturday at 5:07 a.m. Dan Grant brought in the first one Sunday at 5:30 a.m. The last fish caught Saturday was recorded by Mark Robichaud at 8:59 p.m. Carol Jones hauled in the last one on Sunday at 1:47 p.m. There were seven fish caught in the youth division, with Grace Smith hooking the heaviest at 2 lb. 14 1/2 oz. Ryder Marirekrt brought in the first one on Saturday at 9:27 a.m. and the last was weighed in Saturday at 5:30 p.m. by Ayla Johnson. The oldest fisher-

woman registered for the derby was Shirly Hill, and the oldest fisherman was Norm Rastad. The youngest fisher was three-yearold Elise Johnson. The farthest travelled was Rejeanne Doiron of New Brunswick. Derby chairperson Krista Vieira says the fish were relatively big this year and prizes were plentiful, with many random prize draws made. The number of entries was about normal at 186, which included 17 youth. The derby was hosted by the Watch Lake/ Green Lake Community Association, and Watch Lake Lodge and Guest Ranch.

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School’s gymnasium was packed for the Scholarship Tea 2013 on June 5. Parents, family and friends attended the annual event to watch this year’s deserving graduates collect more than $60,000 in scholarships and bursaries generously donated by the 100 Mile House and area community. There were several heart-felt speeches made during the memorial scholarships – often ending with hugs between the presenters and the recipients. There was applause for every presentation and several parents jumped up to get photographs of their sons and daughters receiving the scholarships. The Gold Rush Grannies of the South Cariboo provided the homemade goods, fruit, coffee and tea. Grad student Jason Ruscheinsky provided the entertainment by playing guitar and singing during the intermission. The scholarship winners: Marly Anthony: 100 Mile Rotary Scholarship, Ainsworth Bursary, Dogwood District Award, Ingrid Harrison Memorial Bursary, TRUCommunity Service Entrance Scholarship Paige Archie: Brent Henr y Memorial Scholarship Colin Bader: Michael Furer Memorial Bursary Tiawna Barrick: 108 Mile Lions Club Noah Bedford: Hendrix Lake Gym Fund Bursary, Lac La Hache Community Club Bursary Kaitlynn Bexton: Dogwood District Award, Steven Andrew Meville Memorial Scholarship, Watch Lake/Green Lake Bursary Regan Bishop: Canadian Mental Health Association Bursary, IUOE- Fred Schoennagel Memorial Scholarship Nevin Boyd: Dogwood District Award

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!

Soccer test drive runs out of gas

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association was hoping to score $12,000 at its Drive 4 UR Community fundraiser, but will have to settle for $5,100. The event, held in the Save-On-Foods parking lot on June 1, saw Ford of Canada donate $20

for every person who test-drove a Ford during a six-hour period. Leon Chretien, owner of Sunrise Ford in 100 Mile House, promised if 300 test drives were made, he’d put in another $6,000. Approximately 255 people got behind the wheel, and missing the mark by such a small margin was a real let-

down for club executive members. “Our hearts were broken when we didn’t reach that goal,” says Werner Werner Heine, Heine association sponsorship and communications director. They were counting

Men’s Club Golf continues despite rain clouds A splash of rain wasn’t enough to scare away 72 golfers from teeing off at the weekly round of 108 Resort Golf Men’s Club, June 5. Shane Wilkie won first-flight low gross with a score of 34 and he was followed by Bill Harris in second place, and Vern Jeffrey in third. Second-flight low-gross winners, from first to third were Erv Hannah, with 41, Greg Aiken and John Kurharski. In the third-flight low-gross race, Ron Thurston led the way with 42, while Tom Lund and Peter Messner were second and third respectively. First-flight low-net winners were

Tony Morette with 33 for first place, followed by Al Sidor and Bill Baerg. Second-flight low-net top spot went to Met Boyson with 34, followed by Bill Stokes and Steve Randell. Leader in third-flight low net was Al Kregosky with 32, followed by Laurie Miclash and Larry McKave. Long drives were won by Harris, John Tomlinson and Dan McCaffery, and the single long putt winner was John Mix. Closest-to-the-pin shots were made by John McNeil and Theo Wiering, and deuce pots were paid out to Dave Robinson, Wilkie, Merle Ross, Jack Rausch and Messner.

Outriders’ gymkhana series off and running 100 Mile & District Outriders Club’s summer gymkhana series began May 26 with a little mud in the arena, but overall good weather for the event. Riders competed in pole bending, stake race, barrel racing, keyhole, speed barrels and baton race for points toward year-end standings and prizes. The top 3 overall winners in the peewee division, from first to third were Kassidy Klisnyk, Deegan Styren and Kallie Pincott. Junior champs were Kennedy Klisnyk and Robbie Stewart. Raven Gentry took first place in the intermediate class, and in seniors, it was Rika Wieth in first place, Lisa Manuel in second, and Tanya Johnson, third.

In the Jack Benny division, for riders 39 years and holding, Lorne Gentry was first, followed by Tracy Gentry and Tracy Klisnyk.

The next Outriders Gymkhana is June 21, at 10 a.m. at the Outriders Arena behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House.

on strong support from soccer club families, but didn’t get the numbers they’d anticipated. Heine says the greatest number of test drives was made by other members of the

community. “If we had better participation from soccer parents, we would have met the goal.” He explains the results were especially disappointing as members of a core group within the club are suffering from volunteer

burnout. Part of it is due to the many fundraisers they normally hold each year and it was possible all of the club’s financial needs could have been met with the single testdrive event. If it had gone as planned, money raised would have paid off

the outstanding balance owed on the newly constructed 100 Mile Soccer Park. As it stands now, that debt will have to wait until April 2014 to be cleared. When that milestone is met, fundraising will start for a clubhouse at the park.

DAYMAN

Glynis Joyce Feb. 16, 1951 – June 8, 2013

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Glynis Dayman (nee Warren) on June 8 at Royal Inland Hospital. Glynis is survived by her husband of 44 years, Joe; daughters Diana (Keith), Bobbi Jo (Dwayne) and Nicola (Bruce); grandchildren Trista (Justin), Courtenay and Ty; sisters Arlene Harkins; nieces Kelsey and Tanya; and great-nieces and nephew Rayna, Makayla, Chédin and Aubrey. In her long battle with leukemia, pneumonia was her ‘demon’. Glynis fought extremely hard for so many years, and was one of the bravest and most inspirational women. She defied the odds, and did it “her” way and on “her” terms. Glynis will be greatly and lovingly missed, and always remembered. Thank you to all of her friends who became part of her family and stood by her, through the good times and the isolation. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Avannesian, Dr. Street (her physician, but also her friend), Dr. Hutchinson, 100 Mile & District General Hospital nurses and staff, Royal Inland Hospital ICU doctors and staff, and the staff at Village Medical Clinic. A Celebration of Life will be held on June 29, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., at Roe Lake (Interlakes) Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations in Glynis’ name may be made to the 100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary, or a local charity of your choice.

Nov. 25, 1928 - June 1, 2013

It is with sincere regret we announce the passing of Irma Cue (nee Mair), predeceased by her beloved husband of 60 years, Charlie, in 2012. She is survived by her sister Johanna Prummer, her niece Brigitte and nephew Herbert, all of Austria. She is also survived by her in-laws in Canada: Linda and Lorna, Terence (Terry), Elizabeth (Betty), and many Cue nieces and nephews. Irma was born in Austria and immigrated to Canada in 1951, first working in Ontario; she travelled and worked her way across Canada and ended up in Victoria in 1952. There she met her true love Charlie and they married in November 1952. Charlie’s military career took them to New Brunswick, Germany and France. It was eight years before they returned to Canada and lived for a short time in Calgary and Victoria. In 1974 they moved to 100 Mile House where the great outdoors captured them for 38 years. They purchased and ran a café in Lone Butte, as well, they owned a landscaping operation at 93 Mile House. Irma fully supported her husband in all his enterprises and the landscaping success of 108 Resort was a tribute to their teamwork. Irma and Charlie were true partners in every sense. Unfortunately, he passed away in May 2012. Irma has missed him enormously and was eager to be reunited with him. Our families would like to express an appreciation and gratitude to Dr Street, the hospital, nursing staff and Hospice volunteers as well as the Home Care personnel for providing compassionate care and comfort during her illness. An interment service at the family plot in Metichosin (Victoria) will be announced at a later date.

Cole Zimmerman will bring local flavour to squad From A25

“Jayden is an excellent skater, a mobile defenceman, with great offensive abilities. He committed to the Wranglers organization prior to the spring camp in April. “As he develops, we expect Jayden to play a role on our power play. He has the raw abilities needed to be successful in this role and has the skating ability to jump into the rush.” Tristan Sailor is a five-foot-10 175-pound defenceman from Williams Lake. Born in 1996, Sailor played for the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves last season. Noting Sailor will bring some intensity and physical play to the Wranglers, Rogers says he committed to the Wranglers organization following spring camp. “We expect Tristan to be a solid contributor in the defensive end. He drew attention to himself in spring camp through his work ethic and non-stop effort. “Tristan will be a spark plug for the Wranglers. The players and fans will feed off his energy.” Riley Woodland is a six-foot-one 195pound goaltender from Kamloops. Born in 1995, Woodland played

Cole Zimmerman, yellow jersey and green shorts, is from 100 Mile House area, and he caught the coaching and scouting staff’s attention during the Wranglers spring camp. The big forward with the scoring touch has been signed to the 100 Mile House Junior B hockey club and will definitely be a hometown favourite.

for the Kamloops Midget Tier 1 Blazers last year. During the spring camp, Rogers says he impressed goaltending coach Taylor Dakers with his ability. “Riley committed to the Wranglers organization following spring camp. It was important for us to identify one goaltender from our spring camp and we did this with Riley. “Riley is now the standard in which the goalies coming to main camp will be judged against. I would like to have our goaltending numbers down to three for the pre-season and

then down to two prior to the season starting.” Cole Zimmerman is a six-foot-three 180pound forward from the 100 Mile House area. Born in 1996, Zimmerman played minor hockey last season in Chase. Rogers says he was one of the best forwards in spring camp and impressed the entire coaching and scouting staff. Zimmerman played three games last season for the Chase Heat in the KIJHL as an affiliated player. “Cole is a big forward who has the ability to score and he will be

counted on to bring his scoring touch to every game. Having a local

player return home to play on the Wranglers is extremely important for both the organization and the community. “I certainly hope more local players make an impact at main camp, similar to the impression Cole made at spring camp. He committed to the Wranglers organization following spring camp.” The signing of Cole Zimmerman, who is from 100 Mile House, was a good move for the team, Bachynski says. “He’s a big kid and a real personable young man. I think he’ll be a good ambassador for the Wranglers – we’re very happy about that one.” Connor Sloan is a six-foot-2 180-pound forward from West

Kelowna. Born in 1995, Sloan played for the West Kelowna Midget Warriors last year – amassing 61 points in 52 games and accumulating 90 minutes in penalties. His play earned him the opportunity to play five games in the KIJHL with the Penticton Lakers last season as an affiliated player. Sloan was named the Most Dedicated player by the West Kelowna Minor Hockey Association. “Connor brings character both on and off the ice and we will be looking for him to become a leader in the dressing room. He stood out with his play at the spring camp and was an easy selection, by the Wranglers staff,

to sign.” Sloan committed to the Wranglers following spring camp. Rogers notes Sailor, Woodland and Zimmerman will be participating in the June 23 Ride Don’t Hide event. He adds the Wranglers will have more player announcements in the coming weeks. The 100 Mile Wranglers Main Camp will take place from Aug. 18-20 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. The Main Camp interest has been very good, Rogers says, adding local players interested in attending are encouraged to get their registration in early so they can be considered.

It could not have been a prettier day for the FGES sports day. It had originally been planned for May 31, but the weather promised to be cold and rainy, so it was moved to June 3. The serious competition got started at 8:15 a.m. and went until 11, and then the notso-serious fun events began. Traditional competitions, such as high jump, shot put and sprinting, were carried out. And all of this was done under the watchful eyes of parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters calling out encouragement. Congratulations to all the competitors. Of course, no sports day is complete without the children’s favourite foods, such as hotdogs,

some liquid soap and water set up on the hillside and the students started sliding all over the place. Laundry and baths were all done at the same time. A great time was had by all, especially by the competitors who proudly displayed their ribbons. Father’s Day raffle The latest fundraiser to pay for new playground equipment at the Forest Grove Elementary School (FGES) is a Father’s Day Raffle. Tickets went on sale May 27 and will be available until June15 at a cost of $2 each. Folks can purchase their tickets at the school, at Save-OnFoods in 100 Mile House and children will be sent home with tickets as well. First prize is a BC Lions weekend, a home game, one night accom-

modations, and gas. Second prize is a Reynolds Resort weekend, two nights of camping in the off season and half a day of a fishing boat rental. Third prize is two, 18-hole golf passes with a power cart at the 108 Golf Resort. Tickets are going fast so don’t miss out. If anyone has any

ideas for one final fundraising effort, please let FGES principal Shawn Nelson know. He can be reached at the school at 250-3972962. It would be nice to have the new equipment paid for before the fall of this year.

Chainsaw artwork keeps creator busy By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle Wielding a power saw that seems almost as heavy as she is, Watch Lake resident Liz McMann is literally carving a name for herself in the art world. A camping trip in the late ’90s to 70 Mile House convinced McMann to pull up stakes in Vancouver with her three boys and settle on the shores of Watch Lake. Confessing that while living on the Lower Mainland, McMann never envisioned doing what she’s doing now, she did grow up in an artistic environment.

Watch Lake resident Liz McMann has found a niche that allows her to combine her artistic talents with her love of working with chainsaws. She is turning out some creative chainsaw carving pieces.

really creative, spending hours together drawing. “My mother was really into jewelry, but

I liked sculptures and porcelains and started collecting them when I was 13. The outdoor

influence came from my grandparents.” The idea to start carving with a chainsaw

came from the firewood she was getting. “I was getting some real nice wood from the log yard for firewood, and figured if I could get past my fear of the saw I could make some stuff with it.” McMann bought the smallest Stihl power saw, a 125, all the protective gear, and set to work. In one day, she made three pieces and sent pictures of her work to the president of Stihl Canada. That was on a Monday, and by Thursday of the same week she had a sponsorship. The sponsorship lasted for a few years, and resulted in two chainsaws (a 361 and a MS200T) and a lot of safety gear. McMann has been

carving since 2005. “There’s a different reaction to a chick with a power saw,” she says with a laugh. “When a guy is carving, people think ‘oh.’ But when a woman is carving with a chainsaw, they stop to watch.” Over the years, McMann has done several shows, including at the Calgary Stampede in 2006, where she did two 20-minute shows for six days. “I was put between the Budweiser and GMC tents. I got their autographs, and they wanted mine.” Most of her work is freehand, although she admits to using a stencil for some things, such as the maple leaf. A carving may take

Typically, she draws, carves, sands, uses the blowtorch and wire brush, and then applies a coat of polyurethane. Pieces may be hand painted as well.

Canim Lake wildflowers green and growing, as are gardens CANIM LAKE Peter Hart 250 397-2645

harts@netbistro.com

Dear Canimites, Sun and rain are bringing wildflowers by the bushel, including purple Penstemon and secretive Alumroot on exposed rocky places, and fragrant False Solomon’s-Seal in the shady woodland. The home gardens aren’t doing so badly either. Mahood Falls society The Mahood Falls Community Society held its regular quarterly meeting at the Mahood Valley Ranch home of Bob and Carol Mackenzie. About 25 neighbours gathered to talk over

community concerns and enjoy Bob’s barbecue skills. An important issue for the community is the gravelling of the road from about the Red Creek Bridge on the 8100 Road to the provincial park on Mahood Lake, and beyond the park to the end of the South Mahood Lake Road. These stretches are the only access to the community and parts have never been gravelled. The neces-

sary material has been crushed and is stored at the pit on the South Mahood Lake Road. The community understands Interior Road’s current intention is to perform the work this summer. Planter and bake sale More than 60 people came to browse and buy the planters, baking, and birdhouses at the annual Canim sale, while warding off the day’s chill with the pop-

ular beef-on-a-bun and coffee. Engines 21 and 11 were there on display, manned by our firefighters. Young lieutenant Matt Wiesendahl, who usually buys a fair proportion of all the baking available, was tied up at his job that day. A compassionate soul sent a care package to him, placed carefully in the trusty hands of fire chief Bob Felker. Mike Palka says sales of his woodwork and crafts were good. This

The 13th Annual Lac la Hache Father’s Day Fishing Derby is set for June 15-16 and this is the only weekend a fishing licence is not required for any British Columbian resident to fish at most of the many lakes in the province. Last year, more than 300 tickets were sold for this family fun

fishing derby. As was the case last year, this year’s event will see participants range in ages from the very young to the well-seasoned fishers, all competing for various prizes. Hosted once again by Kokanee Bay Resort, the derby is conducted by, and the proceeds go to, the Lac la Hache

Store for the use of their property. Youth on the Move Robin Loeffeler just graduated from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School in 100 Mile House and is off to the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George for the science program. His plan is to get grounded for a couple of years and then switch to pharmacy. He sees that profession as becoming more patientfocused and a fulfilling way to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Robin says he is “excited to go.” Andrea Dobbs also graduated from PSO. She is off to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops to study interior design.

She hopes to continue some involvement with horses while she studies. At the first show of this year in Prince George on Mother’s Day, she won Best of Show Youth, Overall Best of Show, Best of Show Pony, and Best Overall Youth while riding her horse Cariboo Gold Rush. Sam Tate is our third Canim graduate.

Magoo tourney convenor needed BRIDGE LAKE

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

Roe Lake and District Recreation Commission’s (RLDRC) annual Magoo Memorial Funball Tournament was originated for 1976’s Man in Motion Tour. In 1986, it was renamed to honour Sheridan’s Michael Magoo Barkley who

passed away in a motorcycle accident that year, and runs the second weekend of August at Interlakes Hall. However, RLDRC’s chief ball tournament co-ordinators have left the area and the commission is in urgent need of someone to take over. This person will

have more than enough help, but for the tournament to go forward, a new convenor is mandatory. If you could help with this event, which brings many tourists to the area for the weekend, please call RLDRC president Carolyn Charlton at 250-593-4582. Fields open RLDRC directors want residents to know the ball fields at Interlakes Hall are available to everyone. The gate is always open, so any children who wish to play soccer

or softball are welcome any time, except Aug. 10-11 and 17-18. Mothers might like to get a group together to play regularly. They do not need to reserve the fields and are only asked to be respectful and mindful of the fact that there are irrigation lines and heads throughout the fields.

away to make the area more park like. Perhaps some seating will be added to encourage folks to linger a little longer. Repairs need to be done to some of the existing grave sites and a new area for new grave sites will be created. The arch at the front of the cemetery needs

repair or replacement and proper signing will be installed. With short-term and long-term annual goals and a lot of eager volunteers, the cemetery will be a beautiful sanctuary once again.

An ounce of prevention will go a long way toward keeping your home’s plumbing in top working order – and you will avoid costly repairs! Here are a few things you can do: Faucets and Sinks Even small drips can waste thousands of gallons of water, as much as 150 gallons a day! Be sure to check under sinks for moisture or small leaks. Always repair leaky faucets right away to avoid paying for wasted water and damage to your home. Remove and clean your faucet aerators annually to ensure an even flow of water. Make sure overflow holes on tubs and vanities are clear and open to prevent water damage to floors and ceilings. Toilets Toilet leaks can be wasteful and expensive. Once a year check your toilet for leaks by adding a small amount of blue food coloring to the tank and then later, check the toilet bowl. If the toilet bowl water is colored blue, water is seeping through from the tank. If it is leaking the seal may need to be replaced.

VIC POPIEL 250-456-2321

vpopiel70@hotmail.com

On May 24, the 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department (70MHVFD) was called to an crash on Highway 97 at

Cunningham Road. Information indicated a vehicle passed another in the construction zone, which resulted in vehicles colliding and leaving the road.

Al and his wife, Barb, were supporters of the

70MHVFD meat draw at the pub and Al was a regular player at Wednesday night poker. Poker tourney A poker tournament was held May 11 at the 70 Mile Community Hall. There were only 12 players and the winners were: first, Doug Johnston; second, Len Burwell; and third, Peggy Freed. The proceeds went to the 70 Mile Community Club.

The loonie pot of $14 and the g-ball pot of $227 were carried over.
