Wolfgang Martens reviews the initial damage around the condo rental unit on June 20 after a wall of water, mud and debris rushed through his Ponderosa Resort at Canim Lake. It flooded out much of the property.

Resort flooded out at Canim Lake Roiling creek wreaks havoc at campground

carole rooney Free Press

A stream at Canim Lake has burst its banks at the Ponderosa Resort, washing out the beach and flooding the condo rental building. Owner Wolfgang Martens says he was roused from his sleep by a loud noise at 1:30 a.m. June 20, and looked out to find rushing water carrying mud and rocks crashing down a nearby hill, across the road and through his resort. “Coming down off the hillside, it was just unreal. We had one camper down there, and when I heard the rumbling of the creek I went out to check it, and I got him moved out of there and into the higher side. “Thankfully ... I got up because the next day it was nothing but [debris] and he could have floated down Canim Lake.” The water quickly spread across much of the resort grounds, while the mud and rocks filled the creek bed to the brim. It is the second time this stream has flooded the resort – the first flood was May 2011 – but Martens says the destruction this time was much worse. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond notes that when the call came in around 7 a.m., the CRD notified the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Interior Roads Ltd. Crews were on site quickly and confirmed an adjacent culvert full of debris had been cleared, he says,

After a seasonal stream burst its banks in the early hours of June 20, Ponderosa Resort’s beach and campground looked more like a creek delta and waterfall than a place to set up tents or sunbathe.

but determined sand bags would not stem the flow of water rushing through the resort. “They are looking to see what can be done with the creek bed, the erosion under the road, and things like that. So, we’ll have to wait and see what those folks tell us. “It’s to be expected I suppose. We have had flooding in that area before at that particular culvert.” Martens says a helicopter pilot who flew over the source of the slide told him he had been contracted by the provincial government to check for signs of further instability, as mud slides can be deadly. With the short tourist season

in which the Martens can operate and no improvement seen the next morning, he feared this flood might well wipe out their business, too. “It broke the bank again; it was running all over the property. Now we’ve got no water in the creek bed, but next to it we have a trench fourfeet deep and everything looks like a disaster zone.” Martens says he was turning away guests after the torrent of muddy water totally washed the campground out, leaving “nothing but big ruts and grooves” on the beach and into the lake. He adds the power is cut off. “Then we called the [South

Cariboo Visitor Centre] and told them to please not send anybody else out.” However, a bigger problem was looming with some Canada Day weekend guests, he adds. “It was horrible. We’ve got one week in total [until June 28] when we are totally booked. We’ve got a family reunion that is booked in condos and campsites, and I didn’t know if we were going to get it all back into shape.” By this time, they were considering shutting down, when a significant improvement came about. In the afternoon of the second day, he explains the province gave the resort approval to allow heavy equipment to dig out the stream bed. “They saw the pictures [June 20] and they say, ‘yes, it is definitely a Type 1 emergency’ and we could go ahead and start to divert the creek away from all the property.” He says they brought in a contractor with two machines and got the creek back into its original path. Martens adds he and his wife both felt “very lucky” to discover the condo had only a small amount of water in the entryway. A contractor with two machines then quickly got the creek back into its original path, he notes. After a lot of hard work, help from a neighbour, Michael Dopf, and ongoing excavation, he says he is confident the resort will be sufficiently back up and running for the long weekend booking.

The Federal New Prosperity Mine Review Panel has retained two independent experts to publicly provide advice based on two reports. One deals with geotechnical issues for the mine’s open pit design, slope stability and possible confined aquifers in the proximity. The other report covers hydrogeological issues regarding potential seepage and groundwater flow from the tailings storage facility, and potential environmental impacts.

First appointed in September, Doyle previously served as deputy minister of transportation. John Dyble retains his job as deputy minister to the premier, cabinet secretary and head of public service. He was first appointed as the premier’s deputy minister in March 2011, after serving as deputy minister for three ministries.

Sidewalk will provide safety for seniors

Ken Alexander Free Press

At its June 11 meeting, the District of 100 Mile House council awarded the contract for the Aspen Street Sidewalk Project to Bree Contracting Ltd. for $132,116.25. The project was included in council’s

Five-year Financial Plan. The main objective is to provide residents at Pioneer Haven have a safe path to walk back-and-forth to the downtown core. The sidewalk will also provide a safer route for children travelling to and from 100 Mile House Elementary School.

The 1.8-metre wide sidewalk starts at Dogwood Avenue and proceeds along Aspen to Birch Avenue where it will hook up to the existing sidewalk near the back entrance of Save-On-Foods. Bree Contracting started working on the project a couple of weeks ago and recently

finished the drainage system. The next phase of the Aspen Avenue Sidewalk Project is installing the curbs and gutters, which has to be done before the sidewalk can be poured. It is expected the

project will be completed within a few weeks. Then area residents can enjoy their walks to the downtown shopping areas without having to worry about the traffic or stumbling on the rough gravel shoulders.

approval from the Ministry of Education to expand and renovate the gymnasium for the new consolidated school to accommodate them for sports, fitness and assemblies. “I do understand and empathize with the people who are going to be inconvenienced by it, [the] students mostly. But in doing a capital project, it is pretty hard not to and I think in the end it is for the good of all the students in the south end.” He notes the idea for transporting them to 100 Mile Junior came up during the Initial Options Report process early this year that resulted in various school closures and reconfigurations. “We did have in the back of our mind that we may have to use that [gym] ... so it was part of the process. It doesn’t come completely as a surprise.”

He adds the cost associated with using buses had been built into the SD27 reconfiguration plan with some implementation money set aside. “It may be a shortterm cost, but it is all in the name of reducing our longer-term operating expenses.” SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen says the 100 Mile Junior gym will also be open for use by the community during this renovation period, which could stretch out to mid-2014. “Our hope is that the gym will be done much earlier than that. Essentially, we will use

100 Mile Junior’s gym until the PSO gym is completed.” The school board hasn’t decided if this public use opportunity will also be discontinued once the PSO renovations are completed, he says, adding the other parts of the 100 Mile Junior will remain closed to the public at all times. Thiessen explains two PSO physical education teachers will likely be on staff full time with offices at 100 Mile Junior, and buses available, to cover each PE block.

hall and in various other ways. “Ken was a friend and well-respected member of the fire department who I could always count on; he always answered the call to help his neighbours, to respond when needed and to step up and help when others might step back.” He adds this WorkSafeBC designation is a “giant step” for volunteer firefighters, and firefighters in general, because it is recognition of the sacrifices they all make. “Whether you are paid, on call or strictly volunteer; whether it is a dump fire or a house fire; there are caustic things out there that are causing problems for us all.” Having these volunteers accepted by WorkSafeBC for potential family benefits is a new and necessary thing, he says, adding Rowe was one of the department’s core group. “I think it is good that there is some help for the things we are exposed to. Just because we are not getting paid doesn’t mean we are not deserving of coverage and support.” Boyce notes volunteer firefighters offer a crucial service, but the best thing parttime residents and anyone else can do for their local fire department is to apply fire smart practices around their homes and properties.

Pine beetle bucks spark strategy Rural development plan promoted

Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) manager David Majcher recently presented Rotary Club of 100 Mile House members with an update on the RuralBC project. RuralBC was launched in 2009, as a link between government and rural communities in the province, to make recommendations on how rural communities can mitigate the challenges they face. Majcher said the project also increases public awareness of the issues rural British Columbia is facing in a constructive and politically non-partisan manner. Its goal is to present a convincing case to government for the resources needed to meet these challenges, he added. Majcher outlined the recent RuralBC discussion paper, The Pathway to Prosperity in British Columbia Runs Through Its Rural Places.

Carole Rooney photo

Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition manager David Majcher presented several Cariboo Regional District directors, alternate directors and staff with an update on the RuralBC project at a recent board meeting in Lac la Hache.

He said CCBAC worked with B.C.’s other beetle action coalitions – Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition (SIBAC) and Omineca Beetle Action Coalition (OBAC) - to jointly sponsor the paper, which is the culmination of all their work to date. This paper focuses on suggested groundwork for developing a long-term investment strategy for further development of the

Early registration recommended From A1

“However, it will be a difficult process because ... this new proposal would be just as devastating for our culture and our lands as the rejected Prosperity proposal.” Meanwhile, Battison says the panel approved the EIS because it has deemed there is sufficient information. He adds that exchange of information is on the federal website at www. ceaa-acee.gc.ca. Having large resource projects in close proximity to First Nations communities allows the maximum benefit to be realized for their people, Battison adds. The hearings are slated to take place in

Williams Lake and surrounding communities over about a month’s time, but there is no word yet if a meeting will occur in 100 Mile House. Anyone can register to speak right up to the day of the hearing they attend, but because those with Interested Party status will have first priority, Battison strongly recommends registering at least a week ahead. There will be general hearing sessions as well as topic-specific, community and closing remarks sessions available. For more information on the hearings and registration, visit the website at www. ceaa-acee.gc.ca/050/ document-eng. cfm?document=90288.

province’s rural regions. “The development and implementation of a rural strategy will assist all levels of government with navigating the complex investments in social and economic development required for rural B.C. communities to succeed.” Five key recommendations made in the RuralBC report include creating: a BC Rural Development Strategy: New Rural Economic Development Programming; Rural Dividends; a Rural Advocacy and Catalyst

Organization; and a RuralBC Venture Capital Program. The strategy should include substantial and meaningful rural engagement, Majcher said, as well as multiministry and agency participation. It is to identify and focus on systemic rural development issues with a commitment to concrete rural development actions, he added. Durable, long-term funding mechanisms will be required from government to succeed,

Majcher said, adding the designation of a senior cabinet minister responsible for rural development is also being sought. While B.C. has a successful record of venture capital programs, the CCBAC manager noted the vast majority of this investment stays in urban centres. Majcher is sharing similar information to various groups across the region. At the June 7 Board on the Road meeting in Lac la Hache, he made a similar presentation before several Cariboo Regional District directors, alternate directors and staff. The RuralBC Project came about through an investment of $1 million annually for three years from the provincial government to each of these beetle action coalitions. These organizations conducted a significant amount of research, along with other groups, such as the B.C. Progress Board. Now, they will meet with government to discuss the comprehensive recommendations set out in the discussion paper.

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.

Taseko sponsors mine training venue Carole Rooney Free Press

Taseko Mines is providing office space to the British Columbia Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BCAMTA) Williams Lake Chapter to support First Nations skills training in the Cariboo mining industry. BCAMTA chief executive officer Laurie Sterritt says the space will serve as an education centre for mining-associated training and courses. “With an industry that will see almost

one-third of its workforce reach eligibility for retirement within the next five years, we are preparing a skilled workforce that is in high demand. “Providing the office space as an in-kind contribution to our organization is a goodfaith step by Taseko that we truly appreciate.” Brian Battison, Taseko vice-president of corporate affairs, says the donation of office space is consistent with Taseko’s overall commitment to the Cariboo. “We are very interested in helping

young people prepare themselves for new opportunities and careers in the mining industry.” Jobs for First Nations people build stronger communities, he explains. “One of the concerns we hear from First Nation members is their communities are increasingly losing their youth because there are few employment opportunities near where they live. “We can help change that through supporting BCAMTA and through our effort to create more local opportunities in mining.” Located next door to Taseko’s Williams Lake office, the sponsored space allows mining skills training opportunities with career input from Taseko and Gibraltar staff. Sterritt says its vari-

Others prepare candidates for specific mine occupations, such as environmental monitor, human resources co-ordinator or project manager.

Sterritt notes BCAMTA forms no exclusive company relationships, and hopes to influence the representation rate of skilled Aboriginal workers in all occupations across the industry, including at the executive level.

“My wife and I just bought a wonderful RV. What do we need to do to look after it?” Well, think how you maintain your house. You check the roof, clean the gutters and inspect the siding. You change your furnace filter, repair dripping taps and maintain your appliances, for example. Now imagine you install a hitch to your house and fly down the road with it at 100km/hr for a few days or weeks. If you think this would make maintenance even more crucial, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. To protect your RV investment, and prepare for a trouble-free RVing experience, you do need to provide your RV with annual inspection and maintenance of all its components, including: • Roof • Gutter mouldings • Siding/windows/vents • Plumbing/fittings • Gas system/appliances • Brakes/axles/undercarriage Routine maintenance is essential to keeping your RV in peak condition. At Cariboo RV we can always repair your RV, but we would rather help you maintain your unit so that you don’t run into emergencies while you are actually RVing. We want to be your problem preventers, not just your problems solvers. With over 75 combined Service Shop years of experience, earned in the Lower Mainland and in the Cariboo, our staff members have the knowledge, skills and factory training to give you good honest advice and service. Phone us today to book your regular RV inspection and maintenance, BEFORE you head back out on the road.

Preparing for the future

Learn about Senate for acting

homas Mulcair recently took the stance, that as prime minister, he would abolish the Senate. While abolishing the Senate may ultimately be the right decision, it’s unfortunate nobody seems to have a clear answer. Since many of us have no idea what the Senate is supposed to do, it stands to reason we should understand exactly how the Senate works before we go reaching for that big red button. The NDP will be encouraging people to sign petitions in their “roll up the red carpet” campaign to and will use other catchy phrases that will be carefully chosen to rattle around your head for months on end.

GUEST SHOT

We are fortunate the District of 100 Mile House councillors and administration are forward looking because they are preparing to make our community more viable a few years down the road. These folks have been quietly paying down debts and building reserves so 100 Mile House is not going to be one of the many rural communities that will be hamstrung financially by the need to replace crumbling infrastructures. Rural communities will not be able to get away with Band-Aid solutions as had been the way of doing business in the past. Federal and health regulations are going to require infrastructure replacements and it won’t be cheap to put in new water and sewage systems. Water and sewage are two big-ticket items when it comes to municipal taxes, and communities have known for years that it will soon be time to pay the piper, or perhaps, bite the bullet. This is why we are fortunate we have the leadership in the municipal office. This is why today’s council has set a goal to be debt free in a few years. We have been seeing some stories about our waste management and water supply systems in the 100 Mile House Free Press in the past couple of years. While they’re not “sexy” stories,” they are meaningful because it is preparation for the next decade. We will want to be debt-free when it comes time to build the new systems, and by preparing for it now, it won’t be as financially painful as other communities are going experience. Everything revolves around sustainability. That is why the district office is embarking on a study of our water – its source, protection and treatment. Council awarded a contract to True Consulting to prepare information for the District Plan for the Efficient Use of Clean Water. The District received $265,000 from its Gas Tax application through the Capacity Building under Strategic Priorities & Innovation Funds for a study. The study will determine how this community can best provide a “good sustainable water supply.” Currently, 100 Mile’s main water supply is surface water from Bridge Creek, which goes through a thorough treatment process. However, the District has its eye on its ground water supply (Well #4) near the Red Coach Inn, which is used during the summer when usage is high. It is believed the quantity of water from this well would be able to service the community for years to come, but the question that has to be answered: is it financially feasible to give it a full treatment? If it is possible, then there will be plenty of room for growth and without an onerous burden being placed on municipal taxpayers.

we don’t need it anymore is at best careless. After someone makes a passionate argument to you about how we must abolish the Senate, it’s easy to say, “Sure ... you’ve done your research, you sound like you’ve got it all figured out....” However, before you willingly jump on that bandwagon, take an hour of your day to do some digging, and find out exactly what it is that you’re advocating. In the next few years, we need to decide what to do with our Senate. We have the time and resources available to educate ourselves. Let’s do that so we can make the correct decision, not resort to the politically convenient one. Think before you act, but act before it’s too late.

Opinion

Tories doubled Last Post Fund funeral benefits To the editor: I am responding to Liberal MP Judy Foote letter, headlined Opportunity to support veterans missed, in the June 5 Free Press. In it, she questions the Conservative Party’s and my support for veterans, criticizing our handling of the Last Post Fund. It is extremely important to our government and to me personally that veterans and their families across Canada are honoured for the service they have provided Canada. That is why in Economic Action Plan 2013, we doubled the financial benefits for funerals of the Last Post Fund.

The Last Post Fund is a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to ensure no war veterans, military disability pensioners, or civilians, who meet the wartime service eligibility criteria, are denied a dignified funeral and burial for lack of sufficient funds. The fund operates in co-operation with, and is supported financially by, Veterans Affairs Canada. Since forming government, we have provided funeral and burial assistance to over 10,000 veterans and their families. We provide assistance for funeral costs and pay for all burial costs, which together provide on average

Outdoor exercise circuit sought To the editor: Recently, I was in Burns Lake. In their community park, they have a wonderful “all-weather” outdoor exercise circuit. It is well built and free to all. This would be a wonderful addition to Centennial Park or the ball parks. Perhaps the District of 100 Mile House, along with the Mayor Mitch Campsall and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett could contact the town of Burns Lake for specifications and further ideas. It would be a wonderful, “healthy” addition to our parks. Jane Skelton 100 Mile House

between $7,000 and $10,000 for those veterans who could not otherwise afford it. I would further point out that Canada’s funeral and burial program is one of the most comprehensive among allied nations. For example, Australia provides $2,076 toward a service-related death with a means test; Britain provides $3,498 for service-relat-

ed deaths of war veterans; and the United States provides no financial assistance for funeral services, though burial at a national cemetery is offered at no cost to the family of the deceased. In respect of the service these individuals have provided to Canada, our government made the decision to increase funding to the program this year. Economic Action Plan 2013

doubled the financial benefit for funerals to help the families who need it most while continuing to cover the full cost of burial. After a decade of cuts to spending on our Armed Forces by the Liberals, it is about time they received the funding they deserve. Cathy McLeod, MP Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Open pit ‘dewatering’ effects not answered by Taseko

To the editor: I am writing regarding the article, headlined Taseko wraps up review panel responses, on page A5 of the June 12 edition of the Free Press. On June 5, Taseko Mines Ltd. submitted its responses to the Federal Review Panel’s 11 Supplemental Information Requests (SIRs) regarding the proposed mine at Fish Lake. It is disappointing to read, however, that Taseko believes “…the panel has been asking for more extensive detail than necessary” and that the information requested by the panel shouldn’t have to be provided until the permitting stage. These comments by the proponent seem to suggest the panel is somehow to blame for the delays

in the Environmental Review Process (ERP), when, in fact, the evidence shows quite the contrary. For example, this is the second round of information requests by the Panel. If Taseko had provided sufficient information to the panel in the first place, the ERP would have proceeded at a quicker pace. Moreover, in its responses to the latest 11 SIRs, the proponent still has not provided the information requested by the panel. For instance, Taseko has not provided a particular kind of groundwater modelling relating to SIR #10/11 – Groundwater Interactions between Fish Lake and Open Pit. The proposed mine at Fish Lake is a complex project containing many challenges and risks, espe-

cially regarding hydrogeology. The intention of SIR #10/11 is to better understand how the hydrology of the open pit, which is located underneath a wetland 400 metres from Fish Lake, will interact with the lake. The pit has to be “dewatered” during mine operations (for mineral extraction and safety), and it is not clear how the pit dewatering will affect water levels in Fish Lake, especially as the pit gets closer to the lake during the latter stages of the mine life. This issue and many other topics are too important to leave unresolved until after the Federal Environmental Review is complete. Patricia Spencer 108 Mile Ranch

BC VIEWS

here are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the British Columbia legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a fouryear term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey, who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who

New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the United States expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. industries.

Naked zipliners raise $24K KELOWNA - Wind and rain wasn’t enough to stop 64 women from ziplining naked or topless for breast cancer research Thursday at ZipZone Adventure Park in Peachland. The group, which included breast cancer survivors and women who have lost loved ones to the disease, raised about $24,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Foundation. About 10 of those women were there to show their support for Karen Acaster, who has been cancer free for nearly two years, but recently found out she has a mutated gene; therefore, she’ll need to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes, as well as her other breast, removed at the end of July. “It will be about another year of surgery and recovery,” said Acaster. Acaster said she wasn’t too scared prior to ziplining 380-feet above the ground without any clothes on. “When you’ve faced a critical illness (and have been) brought to your knees with the kind of breast cancer I’ve had…this, in comparison, is exciting.”

100 Mile House RCMP dealt with several motor vehicle incidents

Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 84 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Rollover incident On June 22, 100 Mile RCMP and Emergency Services responded to a single-vehicle incident on Eagle Creek Road near Shaw Drive in Forest Grove.

A male driver appeared to lose control of his Ford pickup truck on the road surface and rolled into the ditch. He was tended to by passers-by until an ambulance arrived. The driver displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor. He was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries. 100 Mile RCMP are continuing their investigation into this

collision. Off the road On June 21, 100 Mile RCMP, 100 Mile Traffic Services and Emergency Services responded to a single-vehicle incident on Highway 24 near Lac des Roches. The female driver of a Toyota Matrix lost control of her vehicle near the comer of McCarthy Road. She then overcorrected and went into the east-bound ditch. The driver suffered a compound fracture to

her leg and was given preventive treatment for a spinal injury. She was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital and then was air-lifted to Kamloops. The vehicle was towed from the scene. There is no update as to her status as of this time. Ran red light On June 18, shortly after 9 a.m., 100 Mile RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of

Input sought for Victims Bill of Rights K a m l o o p s T h omp s on - C ar i b o o MP Cathy McLeod invites all constituents to have their say in the creation of a Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. The federal government is committed to standing up for victims of crime and ensuring victims have a more effective voice in the criminal justice system, McLeod says. “These consultations are critical to identifying and recognizing how to better entrench the rights of victims into a single law at the federal level.” The consultation process follows up the government’s commitment in February to enhance the rights of victims of crime by bringing forward legislation to implement a Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. McLeod says this legislation builds on her government’s record of achievements in advancing the interests for victims of crime by entrenching their rights

into a single law at the federal level. These achievements include: • The establishment of the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime. • The creation of the Federal Victims Strategy, with more than $90 million allocated since 2007 for projects and services that help give victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice system. • The allocation of more than $10 million for new or enhanced Child Advocacy Centres since 2010 to address the needs of child and youth victims of crime. • The introduction of legislation to double the victims’ surcharge and make it mandatory; • The elimination of the faint-hope clause. “These consultations offer a meaningful opportunity to provide input on how the criminal justice system should respond to victims,” McLeod explains. Consultations open to the public will be

hosted online until June 30, 2013. Those interested in participating can visit

the Department of Justice’s website at www. justice.gc.ca for more information.

1-800-222-TIPS Sometime between June 16 and 19, a 27-foot 2007 Adirondack travel trailer with British Columbia licence plate UPB69W was stolen from a property located in the 7000 block of Willow Road near Roe Lake. This trailer is further described as being whitish grey in colour with a brown stripe along the bottom and having two doors and two slideouts. There were two break-and-enters to sheds during the past week. The first was in the 3600 block of Mahood Lake Road where a chainsaw, tools and a solar panel were stolen. The second was in the Bowers Lake area where two generators, two chainsaws and an outboard boat motor were stolen. In both instances, the locks to the sheds were cut prior to entry. If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.

At its June 11 meeting, the District of 100 Mile House council went through the request-for-proposal (RFP) submissions for its Plan for the Efficient Use of Clean Water. Back in February, the district was awarded $265,000 from its Gas Tax application through the Capacity Building under Strategic Priorities & Innovation Funds for a study on efficient use of water for the district now and into the future. In February, Garry Laursen, District director of operations, said the study will look at water source, protection and treatment. “We are looking for a good sustainable water supply.” He noted the current main water source is surface water from Bridge Creek, which receives full treatment through slow sand filtration, ultraviolet light and sodium hypochlorite. Laursen said there is a ground water well (Well #4) by the Red Coach Inn, which is the back-up water supply in the summer when there is more water usage. The water is abundant, and while it’s not “aesthetically pleasing,” he added it is safe and treated with hypochlorite. “That’s the boost we need in the summer time.”

He explained the well was drilled around 1993 because of significant drought conditions and Bridge Creek water flow was quite low. “In the future, we could have the same conditions.” The study’s main objective is to check out the ground water (Well #4) for possible treatment if it’s financially feasible, Laursen said, adding there are a number of good treatment options available. “There does appear to be a good supply of water and that would also be part of the test. We have to check the volume we could get and then we have to check the treatment for that water to do a better job of filtering to make it more palatable.” To get the study

underway, the District put out a call for RFPs and there were five responses. These were evaluated by District community services director Phil Strain and Laursen, using a weighted score system outlined in the RFP to determine the best value to the District. At the end of the evaluation, the score was very close between two companies, and staff recommended going with True Consulting of Kamloops. In his report to council, Strain noted True Consulting’s proposal not only met all of the RFD criteria, but also included a study on Well #4 to determine biological treatment options.

“Results of the pilot study will be used to prepare a shelf-ready preliminary design and cost estimate for grant application purposes.” Strain explained True Consulting will also provide the District with a complete Well Head Protection Plan, which is required in the District’s Operation

Permit issued by Interior Health. Council awarded the study Plan for Efficient Use of Clean Water to True Consulting for $265,000 and authorized administration to enter into a contract with True Consulting for the provision of services to complete the study.

CNC dental students volunteered in San Jose Obrero, Peru

A group of College of New Caledonia’s dental studies students left for South America on June 12, where they’ll spend three weeks providing free dental care to children and adults near Lima, Peru. The three dental hygiene and two dental assisting students – who just graduated this spring – plus one of their instructors are volunteering in San Jose Obrero, a city 45 minutes from Lima, Peru’s capital city. One of them was Alyssa Petersen of 100 Mile House who recently graduated with her dental assistant certificate. “They worked in a community centre and see as many as 800 children and adults of all ages,” says Heather Mohr, CNC’s dental hygiene instructor who organized the trip. They provide restorative and preventive treatment, extractions, dental hygiene, as well as educational workshops.” Besides taking some dental equipment, such as sonic scalers and hand pieces with them, the group also took face paint, balloons and crafts for the children, to get to know them better. They also took 800 toothbrushes for their patients to keep. Dental hygiene students who went include Chanel Alderton, Katelyn Currie and Sam Eakin. The dental assisting students are Danielle Burton and Petersen. They were accompanied by Mohr and Dr. Paul Comparelli, a dentist from Houston, British Columbia. Burton and Petersen returned to Prince George June 26 to write their national licensing exams. The remainder of the group will stay in Lima for another week and then spend the next two weeks travelling before returning July 16.

The group was volunteering through Developing World Connections, a Canadian grassroots, non-profit organization whose mission is to make a positive difference in the world. Nestled on the Pacific coastline, Lima has a population of about nine million. Andrea Johnson photo

Youth needed for free Educo experiences

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) in 100 Mile House is looking for a few youth who would like to experience a day and a night at Educo Adventure School free of charge this summer.

This year, CFEC is offering two different dates for the overnight camp trip to Educo – July 8-9 and Aug. 18-19 for male youth aged of 12-18, and July 9-10 and Aug. 19-20 for female youth aged of 12-18. Last year, the youth were able to experience the high ropes, kayaking and the climbing wall, Harris says.

The CNC contingent stayed at a local hostel in San Jose Obrero. And when they weren’t doing clinical work, the group sampled different cuisines and experienced the Peruvian culture by taking Spanish lessons, salsa dancing lessons and toured around Lima. Planning for the outreach trip began in September 2012 and the students had to raise $4,000 each. They held several fundraisers to help with the cost, including a successful poinsettia sale at Christmas. The poinsettias were provided by Northern Flowers Greenhouses of Quesnel. The students each received a Study Abroad $500 bursary from CNC’s International Education department, while Currie received a $1,000 Pacific Horizons Scholarship from the Irving K. Barber Society. The Northern BC Dental Hygiene Association and Lakewood Dental provided the supplies, as well as four companies in Dawson Creek, Clairmont, and Pouce Coupe donated $1,750 to help cover the cost of supplies.

Conditional discharge for 100 Mile House officer From A7

“It wasn’t planned, really spontaneous, it just kind of happened,” Crown counsel Lorne Fisher told the judge as he explained how the evening, and the kiss, in particular, resulted in such violence. Lyons is a 12 year veteran of the force and on the evening in question he accompanied his live-in partner of five years to a party in 108 Mile House where he spent most of the night watching UFC fights with party-goers in the basement, while she socialized with her trainer in the kitchen upstairs. Lyons and his wife were said to be having marital difficulties at the time and a statement mentioned in court suggested she felt he was smothering her during the course of the night. She separated herself from him, choosing to retire to the kitchen where, a few flirtations became a spontaneous kiss Lyons happened to witness as he walked upstairs. The officer is said to have levelled the personal trainer with one blow and

then turned on his wife. He punched her twice in the face and three times in the back of the head. She was bleeding heavily, but the gash in the back of her head was repaired with glue and did not require stitches. She did incur a sizeable bump described as a goose egg and black eye. Despite the severity of the incident, Judge Ellen Burdett determined the officer should be allowed to proceed with his career as a police officer and will not have a criminal record, provided he meets the terms of his conditions over the course of the next year. For the next year, Lyons is thus banned from returning to 100 Mile House, drinking alcohol or seeing the three children he served as step-father to, except as directed by a family court order. Lyons will be transferred from 100 Mile House to Merritt. He has been working in Williams Lake, attending counselling and reporting to a parole officer in the area. He must attend whatever programs his probation officer deems appropriate. OK

CFEC holds annual general meeting Ken Alexander Free Press

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) in 100 Mile house held its annual general meeting at the

lunch. He notes the annual reports were read out and few bylaws were amended for housekeeping purposes. The main item on the agenda was the election

of the board members, and Pettman says there are five new board members this year. They include the Diane Cober, Noella Andrews, Caroline Plant, Jamie Hughes and Josh Dickerson. After the directors were elected, they elected their executive board. Cober and Andrews will be the

The final details are being put together by the volunteers of the Fifth Annual Lone Butte Rocks community celebration July 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Start your day off at 10 a.m. at the arts and craft sale in the community hall. There will be a wide selection of great items to choose from. Come early to get the best selection. Highway 24/ Interlakes Lions will be bringing their concession again this year and will be serving great food for all the shoppers. There will be a table

set up selling Lone Butte Rocks T-shirts, memberships to the Lone Butte Horse Lake Community Association and a small display of cards and brochures from all the businesses. If you are interested in renting a table, call Pat McKay at 250-3952114. Lone Butte 4-H Club leader Heidi Meier and her group of eager members will be doing some face painting for the children at the hall. There will be information for anyone interested in learning more about the fun things they do together as a club. Downtown at the Water Tower Park, folks will find baked goods and plenty of treasures, as the Lone Butte Historical Association will be holding its annual fundraiser. If you have gently used items to donate to this fundraiser, call Al

Jones at 250-395-5193. While the sales are happening, people can enjoy some live entertainment dispersed throughout the day in the park with Tai Chi and belly-dancing demonstrations. Next to the park, folks will enjoy the Annie Oakley Shooting Emporium, organized and looked after by the Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association. This is the first time we’ve had this event and with loads of prizes to hand out, children of all ages can show their skill with some target shooting using BB guns. I’m told that there may be a special pink gun just for the girls. Across the road by Smith Antiques, you will find the Rotary stage where you can tap your toes or do some dancing with the popular James Gang band, which will be playing throughout the day

Come In This Week For A

between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the music. At high noon on the Rotary stage, the community association will be hosting the popular pie-eating contest

during which there is always some hungry competition. My own children, Kelsey and Dirk Schuurman, will be there to defend their titles as last year’s eating champions. The trick I

have learned is to not feed your kids before the event. Down the way a bit beside Kelly’s Whistlestop Cafe, you will find local rancher Ann Armann who will be representing the

The 57th Annual South Cariboo Square Dance Jamboree at the 108 Mile Community Centre on June 14-16 was probably the last one because the 100 Mile Twirlers, which co-hosted the annual event, closed on April 1 due to insuffi-

cient attendance. More than 140 dancers attended this year’s jamboree, including guests from other parts of the province. Because it appears there are still some dancers in the Cariboo area, the Lac la Hache Caribooters are endeav-

ouring to start two more sessions with one in the during the day and one in the evenings. For inquires about square dancing, contact Kai Rasmussen at 250791-5503, or e-mail him

Square dancers gathered for the last time for the annual South Cariboo Square Dance Jamboree at 108 Community Hall, June 14-16. The event has been a 57-year tradition, attracting dancers from many other communities, but dwindling interest in square dancing has left the local clubs with insufficient numbers to host the event any longer.

I recently wrote a cheque to an employee. A few days later, they told me that they had lost it and so I replaced it. I then put a stop payment on the first cheque. A week after that, I received a letter from a payday loan outfit telling me that my employee had cashed the first cheque with them - and demanding payment. Do I have to pay?

A: To answer this question, you have to think about the true nature of a cheque. From

a legal perspective, a cheque is two things. First of all, it is a promise to the person named that you will pay a certain sum. Secondly, a cheque is a written instruction to your bank telling your bank to pay that sum. It is important to remember the second aspect of what a cheque really is - and to think about what a stop payment is. If the cheque is in order to the bank telling them to pay a certain sum, then a stop payment merely tells the bank not to pay. Having talked about the second aspect of what a cheque really is, we return to the first aspect. A cheque is a promise to the person named that you will pay a certain sum of money. The thing about a cheque, however, is that the law allows the person named as payee of the cheque to “sell” it to someone else. When the payee takes your cheque to the payday loan store, they are, in effect, “selling” your cheque to the payday loan store. Now, the payday loan store has relied upon your signature on the cheque to pay good money to a bad employee. They didn’t sign a cheque - you did. If you hadn’t signed the cheque, then the payday loan store wouldn’t have had any problem at all. On that reasoning, why should they suffer the loss just because it turns out that you had a bad employee? The answer to the question is that the payday loan store probably won’t suffer the loss. If they sue you to get payment for the cheque which you gave to your bad employee, they will probably win. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Q: A:

Do I need an Anti-Virus program? Or two?

In today’s world, installing an anti-virus program on your computing device is essential. Whether you work on an Android Tablet, an Apple MacBook, or some form of PC device - Linux or Microsoft Windows based - you need to protect yourself from the enormous - and ever increasing number of threats out there. There are free options available which do an excellent job and are sufficient for any home user who is not in need of extra firewall controls. Most of the free anti-virus solutions are licensed for home use only, while Microsoft’s Security Essentials product can be used by small businesses of 10 PCs or less - but it will only run on authentic Microsoft Windows machines. You should never run more than one Antivirus program on your device at once. If you are replacing your antivirus, you must remove the old program and re-start your machine prior to installing the new one. Some highly integrated and resource intensive anti-virus programs like McAfee or Norton require special steps to ensure that they are fully removed from a computer. Gold Rush Technologies can assist in this procedure. Computer Sales: Custom Desktop PCs; Notebooks; Netbooks; Upgrades; Gaming Systems

What are the new challenges borrowers should be aware of?

The Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) had imposed the B-20 which introduced guidelines for sound mortgage underwriting. Over the past few months, the majority of lenders have implemented these changes which have made it increasingly difficult to qualify AAA clients. Here are some examples of new changes which affect pre-approvals – borrowers have to settle for lower purchase prices: • Some lenders now factor in a monthly payment for lines of credit that are secured normally with a home, even if the line of credit is with a zero balance. This means that even if a borrower isn’t using their secured line of credit, a payment will be factored into their Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio. • On unsecured lines of credit, monthly payments are being set at 3% of the outstanding balance owing. So if you owe $10,000.00 on an unsecured line of credit, a $300.00 repayment is now being included in the TDS. My advice is to re-consider the unsecured and secured line of credits. Does a home owner who is looking for a secondary or investment property in the future really need that secured line of credit? For future first time home buyers, instead of an unsecured line of credit perhaps consider a personal loan over a longer term to reduce the monthly repayment compared to the new guidelines used for unsecured line of credits.

Q: I need to purchase a new vehicle, should I buy it personally or through my business? A: When considering the purchase of a new vehicle it is important to

consider whether or not it will be used a little or a lot for personal use. If it will be used solely for work purposes, then yes purchase it through the business. You will be able to recover the GST paid on the purchases. If it is financed, the interest becomes a business expense. Likewise the business will benefit from the annual amortization (depreciation) expense. If the vehicle is used for both work and personal use things get a little more complicated. If the company purchases the vehicle, all the expenses as indicated above are still an expense to the business. However the personal use component becomes taxable benefit. The taxable benefit has two components to the calculation; a standby charge and an operating expense benefit. On the other hand if you purchase the vehicle personally, pay for all the operating costs, at the end of the year you can charge back these costs to the business. The usage charges are based on KM’s driven for business purposes at a rate of 54 cents per km on the first 5,000 KM’s and 48 cents per KM thereafter. If the vehicle is going to be used for a dual purpose; personal and business, it is important keep a log book. Consult your Certified General Accountant for further details.

Q: A:

Unlocking small Locked-in RRSPs and LIFs

An RRSP or LIF holding a total value not exceeding 20% of the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (Y.M.P.E.) under the Canada Pension Plan order may be released from the lockingin conditions imposed by the Pension Benefits Standards Act and regulation. For 2013, the threshold amount is $10,220. There is no age requirement for this provision, and money that qualifies for unlocking can be paid out in cash, however will be fully taxable as income in the year you withdraw. You may also transfer to another tax shelter such as an RRSP. At age 65 or older, you will be able to unlock the sum of all your personal entitlements in every locked-in RRSP, LIF and defined contribution pension plan under British Columbia jurisdiction if it is less than 40 % of the Y.M.P.E. = $20,440 in 2013). A person who qualifies under this provision may transfer the money to a regular (i.e. unlocked) RRSP or receive it as a cash lump sum. As noted above, any lump sums withdrawn from a pension plan are fully taxable, but may be transferred to an RRSP tax sheltered.

Bistro and Garden of Eatin’ provide nutritious meals Born from the need for Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) to provide quality, reasonably priced food for students, coupled with the need to provide food for a growing number of students who are coming to school hungry, the PSO Roots Bistro and Garden of Eatin’ were established this year. Staff members Karen Johnson and Claudia Morgenthaler are the program co-ordinators. Every morning, the Bistro is open for a light breakfast that includes whole grain bagels with toppings, smoothies, and a huge variety of teas.

Carolyn Cook, 18, is also gaining knowledge on healthy food preparation in her Agriculture class.

“For anyone who wants to do anything with horticulture or plants, it is a beneficial course to take. You learn so much.”

The program is manned by a cheerful group of work experience volunteers, says Johnson. Every four days, the Bistro class plans and prepares fresh, reasonably priced quality lunches, she adds. The class is occasionally assisted by the foods classes and by the resource room students. The agriculture class has helped with the planting of starts for the outdoor garden. All students in the Bistro class receive their FOODSAFE certification and par-

ticipate in the planning of the weekly lunch. It is a credit course during which students learn about food sustainability and basic gardening skills in addition to preparing the food. The Bistro has guidelines when it comes to meal planning as follows: • All portions of the meals are made from scratch, including all sauces and dressings. • As much as possible, ingredients are grown in PSO’s garden or greenhouse. Local growers and producers are also sourced to provide those things the Bistro doesn’t have. Higher Ground Health Food includes PSO in its bin program and has been very supportive of the program. Large quantities of root crops were purchased from Desert Hills Farm in the fall and kept in the Junior Secondary’s cooler. Save-On-Foods provides produce that

smoothies and soup stock. • Organic produce is frequently purchased and promoted. • The meals must be delicious, relatively

simple and reasonably priced. • Introduce students to new tastes, including some international cuisine, while at the same time, including classic

favourites. • None of the meals are deep fried and any meat used is organic and locally produced. • Waste nothing! Meals are frozen for

use in future lunches. Menus are planned according to what is on hand. Teachers’ chickens receive scraps and Continued on A29

progress and work ethic. They have a tremendous amount of heart.” On June 23, all three teams played in Prince George at the league’s season final. The U12 boys and U13 girls squads both came away with silver medals after playing two games apiece. Illness and injuries left the boys one player short for a portion of their game with Williams Lake, but they still managed to score two goals in their 4-2 loss. The two 100 Mile scorers were Jake Cuttler and Cameron Ardiel. They were back to a full bench in game 2 against Prince George, but

hampered by more injuries. “The boys kept at it,” team manager Jennifer Appleby says, adding they beat Prince George 3-2. Wylon Hall and Ardiel were the standout players, says coach Mark Grant. “These boys played hard and well and are our MVPs for the season.” The U13 girls played up a notch against U14 teams all season, but the field was even in game 1 with Quesnel where the final score was tied at 1-1, with the Milers goal scored by Courtney Cave. 100 Mile House played with just two subs while Quesnel had five.

In game 2 with Prince George, 100 Mile held a 1-0 lead going into the second half, but let it slip away to an eventual 2-1 loss. Sydney Poggenpohl scored the lone goal for 100 Mile. “The girls played their best game this season against this team,” says division manager Shelly Morton. “The Prince George coach complimented our team on how far they’ve come this year.” Emma Feistmantl was named the team’s most improved player for the season. Final results were not available for the U15 girls at press time.

The Cariboo Youth Soccer League (CYSL) played a set of games at 100 Mile Soccer Park, June 16. The league includes teams from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George, and clubs rotate hosting the weekly games. Prince George did not play in the June 16 set. The 100 Mile House U12 boys had a good day, beating Quesnel 9-3 and tying 0-0 with Williams Lake. “The U12 boys played very well,” says team manager Jennifer Appleby. The 100 Mile U13 girls played both games with the Quesnel team which beat them in the recent zone play downs. “We had an incentive to work hard,” says coach Lianne Heales. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, with Alli Carr and Rachel Cross sharing the duties in the net. Carr faced a penalty shot, which allowed Quesnel the tying goal. “They played outstanding, really working together and playing as a team.” Their second game with Quesnel had Carr and Ashley Holyk as the goalies . Carr faced another penalty shot, but made the save this time, giving 100 Mile the win. Heales says it was their season’s top play of the game. Nishelle Parkins, Tanisha Bali and Emma Feistmantl each also had an outstanding day on the field. The 100 Mile U15 girls opened game day with a 4-2 win against Williams Lake with Paige Hall and Lara de Kok each notching two goals. The team faced Quesnel in their second game, losing it 2-0, with one Quesnel goal made on a penalty shot. It was a heart-breaker for 100 Mile, with their only goal disallowed and several shots hitting the goal post. “100 Mile deserved better,” says coach Casey Hall. “My girls played a great game. “I am very proud of my team’s

The South Cariboo Rowing Club saw good results at the Lap the Lake regatta in Vernon, June 15. The 3.5-kilometre racing event took place at the Vernon Rowing and Paddling Centre on Swan Lake and is regarded as the biggest regatta in the British Columbia Interior. The junior quad team placed first in its division, with rowers Jill Matlock, Jemma Van Osch, Anna Lisa Craig and Tyra Van Osch. The boat also clocked the fastest time for the entire event, which also featured double and single races.

South Cariboo’s Lynden Jeffrey wins Kamloops golf championship Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Junior golfer Lynden Jeffrey of 100 Mile House had an outstanding weekend, winning the Kamloops City Junior Golf Championships at Rivershore Golf Links, June 22-23. Jeffrey held the lead by three strokes at the end of Saturday’s round and in Sunday’s final, he won with a four-stroke lead. “It feels good because I’ve been coming in second and third in tournaments all this season. After I got it, I was pretty happy.” He credits the good results to his approach shots, which he says were all within 10 feet of the hole and allowed him ample opportunity for birdies. Saturday’s birdie count was four and on Sunday he

Rebel Garden Zone encourages residents to grow their own food The Rebel Garden Zone has been growing in 100 Mile House, and the South Cariboo Sustainability Society’s gardening campaign has been drawing local and regional attention. Co-ordinator Kathy Provost spoke on the CBC morning show last week about what the Rebel Garden Zone is trying to accomplish – eating organic clean vegetables, how vulnerable residents are as a community where food is concerned and the importance of food sustainability for this area. “I don’t think people are aware of how vulnerable we are as a community here in 100 Mile House,” Provost says. “If we had a natural disaster, or anything to prevent food from coming up this highway, it would take one to three days for the supermarkets to be cleaned out. People need to take the actions necessary to ensure they have access to food.” The Rebel Garden Zone is encouraging 100 Mile residents to plant gardens and learn to store and preserve their own food, she explains. “In these uncertain economic times, it really helps with the grocery bills when you have good fresh food in your own backyard, your freezer and your cupboards.” Heidi Read of Higher Ground Naturals Foods has taken the campaign seriously and planted a vegetable garden in front of her business downtown. It is drawing positive comments and photos from the public. The campaign has provided all the elementary children from Lac la Hache to Bridge Lake, including all home-schooled children, with a package of seeds to encourage growing food. If you go to www. southcariboosustain ability, you can sign up and let them know what

you are growing. They have a list of 100 things you can grow in 100 Mile House and so far 72 per cent of the list is complete. The website also

contains a calendar of events with workshops posted and a list of the local businesses involved in gardening, as well as other valuable gardening information.

Pick up a free Rebel Garden Zone lawn sign to display on your fence or in your garden to show your support. Be a rebel, Plant a seed, Grow food.

Food security through the keyhole

Conference gives sneak peek into future

Carole Rooney Free Press

The Looking Forward conference on food security attracted about 30 people at Martin Exeter Hall on June 15. With people attending from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Clinton, moderator Robert Nichol says a lot of solid, useful information and insights were delivered by all the presenters. “Everybody thinks it was a success, and the speakers, particularly, were pleased with it all.” He adds the impressive list of speakers for the event included distinguished keynote speaker Maury Mason. He shared wisdom and experiences gained in his extensive background as an environmentalist from when Mason was a Greenpeace director in the 1970s to today as the Alaska Wildlife Alliance executive director, and as the first president

(and founder) of Earth Day. Nichol notes the presentation explored the current Global Food Production/ Distribution System, and how it applies to local residents. “He came across very well. He was charming and highly informative, with a great sense of humour. “It was good to have

him as a keynote speaker, because he ... also talked a fair bit about grassroots organizing.” Nichol explains the conference was all about building local and sustainable food systems. “We are faced with taking a serious look at our vulnerability [to] make great strides forward to rectify any lack of preparedness on our part – both individually

and as a community. To not do so will cause us some grief.” Other speakers included South Cariboo Sustainability Society director Kathy Provost, who talked about the Rebel Garden Zone (a local grassroots food security movement) and homesteading skills. Rod Hennecker of the Community

Enhancement and Economic Development Society (C.E.E.D.S.) talked about the history and future plans of that organization, as well as the Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative. Williams Lake resident Richard Case, MSc RP spoke on self-sufficient small farming and Transition Towns; and Clinton’s Jackie Pappas

Limited wildfires in 100 Mile Zone

Ken Alexander Free Press

Fire information officer Greig Bethel says there were no wildfires this past weekend in the 100 Mile Zone of the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC), despite lightning activity picking up

over the past few weeks. So far this season, he notes there have been five wildfires in the 100 Mile Zone – four person-caused between April 27 and May 9, and one lightning-caused near Longbow Lake on June 17. Regarding the June 17

wildfire, Bethel says the CFC’s 100 Mile Zone response officer went to the site to check it out, but it seems the rain put fire out. Noting a homeowner originally called it in, the fire information officer adds it was a dead cottonwood tree/snag

Bistro Bucks Students and staff may purchase a credit so they do not have to worry about having cash. Students who struggle to afford

meals are given the same credit in order that they can eat when they are hungry. This is done anonymously, so hungry students can feel relaxed about coming to eat. “After one year of running the program, we feel very proud of how far we have come. With the Junior Secondary students joining PSO, we know we will have more students to feed, but we feel confident that with some adaptations this well-loved program, we will carry on providing great quality, reasonably priced food.

provided her insight on urban organic farming and growing with heirloom seeds. Cheryl Thomas from Clearwater, a BC Food Systems Network BC Rural Network member and a North Thompson Food Action Committee director, encouraged people to “think like a network” in local food production. A question-andanswer period followed each speaker, Nichol adds. “Just about everybody had questions, so there were lots. I think it was a core group of people who are really interested in this area of sustainable food systems and sustainable communities.” Nichol, who is a filmmaker with 30 films under his belt, explains why he organized the event, which was sponsored by C.E.E.D.S. “I am working on try-

ing to finance a one-hour documentary on sustainable communities. It’s been tough to raise the financing, but I thought at least I could put on a one-day conference. “There were some wonderful volunteers ... they did a great job, and everybody was pleased with the [organic] lunch. “I must say the generosity of our little town is something to be proud of.... I wholeheartedly thank all those who stepped up to the plate.” The entire event was filmed, which Nichol says he hopes to post online once he finds a suitable host website. “The fact is, the system in general, and the food system in particular, is in the process of unravelling and we need to pay attention to this and prepare, so we can see ourselves through.”

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!

Physiotherapy improves quality of life for stroke patients

British Columbians suffering from a neurologic disease can have difficulty moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing or learning. There are more than 600 types of neurologic diseases – the most frequent of which are stroke, brain/spinal cord injuries and Parkinson’s disease. Working in partnership with a physiotherapist to address physical function issues, neurological patients can improve their mobility and improve their quality life. BC’s physiotherapists want to share four tips on how patients can maximize their physical function. “If you are suffering from a neurological disease, your physiotherapist can help to maximize and restore your physical function,” says Physiotherapy Association of BC chief executive officer Rebecca Tunnacliffe. “Among the things he or she can do is to work with you to create a personalized exercise program that includes a balance component to maximize your physical function. Additionally, physiotherapists can provide education about

the specifics of the brain and how it relates to your care.” By working with a physiotherapist and following the Physio-4 for Neurological Conditions, neurological patients can improve their quality of life. 1. If you have weakness in the muscles on one side of your body (due to stroke) or face (facial palsy), use the unaffected side to teach the weak side how it should feel and move. Your physiotherapist can provide exercises to stretch and relax muscles to decrease tightness, strengthen the weak side, and share ways to avoid overcompensating with the unaffected side. 2. If you have problems with dizziness and balance (vestibular), making you a bit dizzy can be part of the treatment. Keep moving, realizing the movement will help you get better. Avoid keeping your head still. Your physiotherapist will show you how. 3. Many people with neurological conditions lack strength and endurance, which can also affect balance. A physiotherapist can create an individualized exercise

ways. An example of this type of exercise would be doing repetitive stepups on an aerobic step. This helps the brain to remember to lift the heel to clear the floor while walking. Your physiotherapist will help you engage in safe activity to promote neurological recovery and your confidence.

eveShow ‘n Shine ningSaturday features the Mile House intended to be a 100 The annual Hot Lions Dance from July Nights Car & 6:30 p.m. to midBike Show rolls family friendly event night at 100 Mile Free Press

back into town for a three-day event in 100 Mile House, July 12-14. Friday evening features the 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club Cruise, which takes off at 6:30 p.m. from the parking lot at A&W. Everyone is invited to join in for the one-hour ride, says event spokesperson, Jim Williscroft.

“

We’re expecting a lot of cars this year. We’ve sent out invitations to a lot of clubs we don’t normally contact. – Jim Williscroft

“Come on down with your vehicle and we’ll show you around.” People are asked to be there at 6 p.m. Saturday is the Meet & Greet and early registration from 1 to 4 p.m. outside A&W. Williscroft says there will be nostalgic music playing and the parking lot should be full of cars. “The fifties and sixties atmosphere will be picked up by the sight, smell and rumble of engines,” he notes.

Community Hall. Tickets are $10 and they can be purchased at the registration booth on Saturday or at the door. Sunday is the big day with the Show ‘n Shine in Centennial Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration takes place at 8 a.m. and the fee is a cash donation to the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society. Admission to the public is also by donation to the Women’s Centre. Williscroft is anticipating a great show. “We’re expecting a lot of cars this year. We’ve sent out invitations to a lot of clubs we don’t normally contact.” Guests can expect to hear a constant flow of music in the park throughout the day and there will be a variety of food vendors on site to tantalize the taste buds. Organizers are aiming for a family-oriented show, so Williscroft promises there will also be several things to keep children busy. At the same time, members of the public will have the opportunity vote for their favourites among the vehicles, in a number of categories. The winners will be announced and plaques awarded at 4 p.m.

Cattlemen boost community

Carole Rooney Free Press

While some traditions fade in the wake of modern society, an underlying core of heritage and history perseveres in Lone Butte. In this small, historic town, one can find a legacy of more than eight decades of shared agriculture wisdom within the Lone Butte Farmers’ Institute and Livestock Association (LBFILA). Many folks who have been to an event at the Lone Butte Hall may not know the history of this association, which built the previous hall and much of the existing one, and still retains land holdings in the surrounding area. Founded in 1929, its board was comprised of pioneers from many families still in the area today, and some of them are involved with the association that is still going strong. The original society declaration, recently obtained from Ministry of Agriculture and Lands records in Victoria, reveals the seven original directors were Gerald Summers (president), Andrew Johnston (vice-president), Percy Willard (secretary), Bill Hinsche, Hartwig “Crist” Horn, Sam Ritch and Walter Orzel. While some know the association under its later name of Lone Butte Farmers’ Institute and Stockmen’s Association, no official provincial records were found under that name, but it was possibly changed back when it was briefly dissolved in 1956. These farmers and ranchers depended on the PGE (Pacific Great Eastern) railroad back then, which connected them with suppliers and cattle markets from North Vancouver to Prince George. Lone Butte was the highest point on the line, and its water tower is one of only two remaining in the province.

The Lone Butte Farmers Institute and Livestock Association held many events in its thriving community back in the 1930s and ‘40s when picnics, country fairs and dances were held between all the hard work. A memento of these picnickers can be found in Dave Abb’s family album.

Area rancher Chris Horn, 91, was thrilled to see his father, Crist’s, name officially listed as a founding board director and charter member. The first hall was in a United Church across the railway line just behind the water tower, which was well used for about 15 years until LBFILA decided to build a bigger venue to host larger functions. Chris remembers helping his dad and other members build the group’s second community hall, along with another young fellow who still ranches here today, Norman Grandberg. This group of pioneering farmers and ranchers constructed a new 40- by 70-foot building in the early1940s, located just across the road from the well-used stockyards at the rail yard. It sat close to the Lone Butte Hotel and beside the prominent

Gibson family’s house, Chris says, about where Kelly’s Whistlestop Café stands today. All the local dances, weddings and other celebrations could be hosted in a grand style at the great new hall. Each May saw early LBFILA members and other Lone Butte residents turn out for a huge picnic, and races and ball games were frequently held for their children. Area resident Dave Abbs was a youngster in Lone Butte during the 1940s, and still lives in the area today. He says the hall’s first function was held in 1943, when he was five years old. It was a funeral held for his uncle, Peter Lopaschuk, who Dave notes, was killed when he rolled a car learning to drive a new Ford Model A. Dave believes it was the first-ever vehicle accident fatality on what is now Highway 24.

To build the new hall, Jack Boyd of the Flying U Ranch had donated some cash, McMillan’s sawmill at Horse Lake and Steve Levick’s mill at Sheridan Lake provided lumber, and numerous others put materials and effort into the project. Social functions at the hall were held between all the society’s hard work getting supplies coming in by rail to the farmers and ranchers, and the cattle shipped out. Chris recalls Bill Davis was the PGE station agent in the 1930s. Bill Hinsche also worked for the railroad out of Lone Butte in the 1920s and ‘30s, as did Richie Abbs. Richie was an early LBFILA member who helped build the second hall, and was instrumental to the community as the group’s rail freight handler. He matched up the needs of the cattlemen and families with shipments of everything from

Buckerfield’s grain to Eaton’s catalogue shoes, Dave says of his dad. As Richie stored much of the rail-shipped supplies at home on the Unicorn Ranch on Horse Lake Road in the 1930s and ‘40s, his son explains there was “more dynamite than you could shake a stick at” around the house in those days, so by 12 years old he could “blast stumps with the best of ‘em.” All the orders were done in writing, as there were no phones available back then, he notes. Abbs says other early LBFILA members (not already mentioned), many of whom would have helped build the hall, included Albert Hinsche (Bill’s brother), Victor Furrer, Jim Jenson, Ed Julsrud, Carl Nath, Nels Sandberg, Herman Craig, Orvil Gibson and Jack Skaday.

New hall boon to community

Lone Butte Historical Society president Al Jones says LBFILA was also instrumental in getting the Red Cross First Aid station in 1947, which operated until about 1958, and is now known as the Alice Singleton Heritage House. Working with the Royal Canadian Legion, he notes LBFILA members made sig-

nificant efforts to successfully gain government approval, including rousing 110 petitioners across a wide area to turn out when military personnel came to hear them out. The hall was well used for 25 years for country fairs, dances, weddings, funerals, meetings and other social events until it burned down in 1968, Jones notes. (The Lone Butte Hotel later burned down in 1997.)

Abbs recalls the fire started from a damper left open overnight on one of its two wood heaters. It was a disappointment to everyone in the community, but especially to the members who had toiled to construct it and had it all paid for. A new, Quonset community hall was built in about 1972 on land at the west end of Lone Butte, he adds. Today, 84 years after

Games, activities and horse play were commonplace whenever the Lone Butte Farmers Institute and Livestock Association took a break. Their many duties included organizing the shipping of cattle and supplies on the Pacific Great Eastern railway.

The stockyards at the railway yard in Lone Butte were busy back in the day. Area rancher Chris Horn helped round up cattle there as a young man in the 1930s, and supplied this photograph. He also helped dismantle the stockyards around 1960 when trucking took over cattle transport.

its inception, LBFILA remains active in providing a valuable service and a base of farming and ranching knowledge, history and camaraderie that is becoming scarce, even in rural agriculture communities. The LBFILA board still meets in the current hall, and is a member of the South Cariboo Regional Cattlemen’s

stage. Les Folles Jambettes from Christina Lake will be there in the morning, before moving on to dance at the Williams Lake Stampede, and the Mill Girl Follies from Clinton will perform later in the day. Expect to see grass skirts

and hip-shaking when Cheralyn’s Polynesian Dance Studio takes the spotlight. Musician Cal Wilson of Lac la Hache will add a touch of bluegrass to the eclectic show, and cowboy singer Ed Wall from Vancouver brings his own style of music. The Bob Westfall Band from Vancouver, with folk and country songs adds to the mix, as will country singer/ guitarist Leslie Ross of 108 Ranch. While Rutledge drums up much of the entertainment herself, she says entertainers are starting to contact her. “We’re getting so wellknown they’re calling us from Vancouver to be in the show.” There will be covered seating in front of the stage, but Rutledge says people might want to bring their own lawn chairs because the benches fill up. There will be plenty to keep children entertained

with a huge inflated bounce house to jump in, face painting and stories read by librarian Roxy Barnes. Make sure to bring a shopping bag because a full compliment of vendors selling a variety of goods is expected. “There’s a huge amount of craft sellers. It will be a full house.” A cook shack will be on site where people can purchase a burger or hotdog and Tim Hortons has donated coffee, which will see proceeds from sales kept by the society. There’s something for everybody, Rutledge says, adding there’s no admission charge. The event organizers could use some help in setting up and volunteers can show up at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening to assist in raising tents, or 10 a.m. Monday for a variety of tasks.

Dear Canimites, A mix of rain, sun and more rain prepares the land for the high summer to come. Visitors begin to fill the resorts, and paddlers appear on the lake. Paintbrush and Columbine now grace the woodland clearings, and the first of the wild strawberries fall prey to Sheila’s practiced eye. And so it is in Canim country.

Canim Lake logging traffic should slow down until later this fall From B4

Forty-one fishers from 10 communities entered, hunting the biggest rainbow trout. Many were camped at the rec. site, and others drove in for the day. The morning dawned with a damp fog blanketing the area. By 9 a.m., however, the sun was shining, jackets and sweaters were off, and the loons were beckoning from the glass-calm waters. Shortly thereafter, Adam Piccolo of 108 Mile Ranch nailed the largest Rainbow of the day at 2 lbs. 10 oz., taking it on a dragonfly nymph imitation cast into the shallows. By the end of the day, Bob Preston of Clearwater had the No. 2 fish at 2 lbs. 7oz., with Marc Freeston of Kamloops third at 1 lb. 11oz. Fourth place was a tie between Carlo Gunther of Lac la Hache and Michael Van Osch of Forest Grove, both with plump rainbows of 1 lb. 6 oz. The winners had

their pick of some pretty nice prizes, cash or fishing gear. After these were given out, every youth who participated was invited to choose a prize from the table and a chocolate bar. Ted Swift and I lined up for the candy, but the fact that we both had driver’s licences did us in. After the weigh-in and prizes, Gerhard Loeffeler and Lizzie Sarkozy got on the barbecue and turned out sausages and schnitzel burgers for all takers, while Henry Dokansky smoked fresh rainbow. Henry is the club’s fishing director, and was the main organizer. Every entrant received one of the unique engraved birch wood medallions he makes, each inscribed with the name and date of the event.

They supply a wide range of products catering to the needs of senior dogs through their website at www. dogquality.com. The website has a link to a very humorous and interesting YouTube segment showing AnnMarie’s appearance on the CBC show Dragon’s Den. • Kelly Powell of West Fraser says there will be no logging traffic through our area until

well into the fall. • Newly arrived Canim resident Sylvia Kasparek has been learning cribbage from her tutor as part of the local PAL-ESL mentoring program. The word is she’s a real shark. Top players Lynne Baker and Doug McGregor may have their hands full next season. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Interlakes residents will be missed

From B6

This was changed, so corporate competitors do not “lose out’’ on points and potentially miss their chance at winning the Grand Aggregate. Entry booklets are at all local general stores, Horse Lake Garden Centre, Lone Butte Gardens, Donex photography counter, or call Marion Mickelsen at 250-593-4354. Sad passings Interlakers have been saddened by the recent passing of three residents. Bridge Lake’s Peter Lanosky passed away May 22, at the age of 62.

A Celebration of Life will be held at his home, 7833 Bell Rd. on June 29 at 2 p.m. Fawn Lake’s Glynis Dayman lost her longfought battle with

leukemia on June 8, at the age of 62. An Interlakes Cattlebelle, Glynis was very wellknown in this area. Sincere sympathy is extended to her husband, Joe, and daughters Diana, Bobbi-Jo and Nicki, and their families. A Celebration of Life will be held at Interlakes Hall on June 29 at 2 p.m. A longtime resident of North Bridge Lake Road, Amy Switzer passed away June 13 in Victoria, at the age of 93. A graveside funeral was held here, at the Lakeview Cemetery, on June 22. Condolences are extended to Amy’s family and many friends. Landfill changes Some time ago, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) circulated a survey on waste management. Results were relatively specific, and last year, the Lac la Hache site was the first to incorporate new parameters. This year, according to the CRD, Interlakes Landfill Site on Horse Lake Road will become manned with improved

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK

Ask an Expert:

TBM1479

Is there a case where nails are better than screws, structurally?

Total Living Area: 1479 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Main Level: Elevated front porch, dining room, great room, master bedroom, large mud room/ laundry and bathroom. Second Level: Two bedrooms, hallway, second bathroom. Special Features: Full width front porch with stylish architectural doors and windows. Attractive facade plus gabled dormer.

For instance: Say you used screws instead of nails on a backyard deck, when the design specifically called for nails. Would the result be inferior? Could it fail inspection? Would nails absolutely be preferable in this instance? Assume the screws are at least as thick/long as the intended nails. Are there any rules of thumb about when to use screws vs. nails? Screws are a “superior” fastener over a nail (they have far superior tensile strength) - especially if you’re talking about screwing down decking. However, there are many scenarios where a nail is the proper fastener for the application (attaching joists is one example - screws are brittle and will fail when subjected to the forces of a shear-loaded application). Using your deck example - you should use nails to attach the joists to the deck framing but use screws to fasten down the decking itself.

This last lunch was a chicken Caesar wrap along with a pasta salad and juice. There is also a breakfast and snack program three times a week. Richard Bergen, who is often at the school volunteering his time, was on hand to get tables and chairs ready, setting them up and pouring juice.

From B10

silliest costumes, team spirit, first to sink and first to finish. So whatever floats your boat, get out there with your friends or family and come up with a zany theme for this nautical competition and have a good time for a good cause. Half the proceeds from this event will go to Ruth Lake Park maintenance and improvements and the other half will go to the Lions Club for various charities.

SSALES ALES EVENT

children were in and out of the water all day. Parents and teachers got busy setting up camp fires for marshmallow and weenie roasts and stoves to cook up hamburgers and hotdogs. Plenty of watermelon was on hand to snack on. The sun came out after a while and it turned out to be a really nice day to play in the water. What a fun way to spend a school day.

Club is holding a Red Neck Regatta at Ruth Lake on Aug. 11. The object of the competition will be to build a silly boat, navigate it from shore to a marker on the lake and back to shore again in the best time. Folks can get all the details from Cindy Whitehead at 250397-2367 or e-mail at chriscummings@ bcwireless.com. There will be prizes awarded for the silliest boat, the silliest sailor,
