Ancient Green Lake burial site protected from soil erosion

carole Rooney Free Press

A solemn but serene crowd gathered on the north shore of Green Lake to witness the relocation of the remains of 15 First Nations people from a long bygone time to safer ground just a few steps away. Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie and CLB members, CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, lead archeologist Dana Evaschuck and her team, Archeology Branch representative Jane Warner, property owner Robin Rusaw, neighbouring residents and others formed a group of several dozen people who attended the special reinterment ceremony July 12.

Jim Smith released this mature bald eagle, which some of his Moosehaven Resort guests found, at Hathaway Lake on July 17. He says the release process was much more exciting than the capture. Although the bald eagle didn’t attack Smith, it let him know he didn’t appreciate being manhandled.

Raptor captured and rehabilitated

Happy tale: exciting eagle rescue and eventual release at Interlakes Carole Rooney Free Press

An injured bald eagle prompted a dramatic and thrilling capture – and its subsequent release – by a Hathaway Lake couple. Jim Smith of Moosehaven Resort says some guests found the huge raptor motionless in the driveway upon returning from a fishing trip. Unsure of the appropriate actions to help the eagle, he contacted the Conservation Officer Service, which told him to call Tammy Zacharias at the Second Chance Wildlife Rescue (SCWR) facility in Quesnel. Zacharias then provided Smith and his wife, Kathi Conway, with instructions to carefully cover the bird for capture, if they were able to get close enough. “My wife and I went out, I walked right up behind it, gently put the blanket on and put it in the box. [Kathi] was standing well back holding the flashlight, saying ‘you be careful now’.” This was done in the dark of late evening and, therefore, the eagle had an overnight stay at the resort. However, Smith says it was lying so still, he expected it to be dead by daybreak. “In the morning, I thought it looked a bit better and I asked Tammy [Zacharias] about feeding it because I had a bucket with a bunch of fish ‘stuff ’ in it, and she said ‘well you can try it’. So I put that in there and he ate the whole thing.” Smith says he brought the raptor to the South Cariboo Visitor Centre (SCVC) later that day to meet with SCWR volunteer Sue Barton. She transported it to Dr. Doug Magnowski at the

Canim Lake Band concerned about Forest and Range Practices Act CLB: ‘Science-based review costs far outweigh benefits’

In a July 12 press release, the Canim Lake Band (CLB) announced its concerns about the provincial government’s Forest and Range Practices Act, and the current “science-based review” (SBR) being promoted by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the forest industry. The release states: “The CLB supports the forestry industry, and we are part of it. We manage approximately 23,000 hectares of forest land under a First Nations Woodlands Licence and two woodlots. The CLB also

owns and operates a logging company, and band members are involved in virtually all aspects of the local forest economy. “Recently band members have become very dissatisfied with the forest practices generated by the provincial Crown’s Forest and Range Practices Act. In response to these concerns, the CLB produced and published a Forest Stewardship Retention Plan. “This can be viewed on the CLB website at www.canimlakeband. com. It explores some alternative viewpoints concerning forestry. The CLB welcomes any

comments from the general public. “One of the more difficult current issues for this community is the SBR, being promoted by the provincial Crown and the forest industry. The review area covers Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. This process explores the concept of erasing three significant components of the existing land-use planning framework; visually sensitive areas, mule deer winter ranges and old growth management areas. “These three elements restrict the forest industry, and because

Electoral Area L Solid Waste Management meetings scheduled The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will be holding two public meetings to discuss upcoming changes to the Lone Butte Transfer Station and the Watch Lake and Interlakes landfills. This is the opportunity for area residents to provide feedback and suggestions about the new facilities’ hours of operations and to ask questions about how the new system will work. During the meetings, CRD elected officials and staff will be on hand to discuss the scheduled changes and provide further details about the new Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP). At the Lone Butte Transfer Station, the new system will allow on-site attendants to compact refuse in open topped bins with a small backhoe. This will decrease the frequency of hauling required, which reduces hauling costs.

The new operation at the Watch Lake and Interlakes landfill facilities will also have attendants to oversee usage of the site. CRD residents will continue to have access to the landfills, but only when an attendant is on site. Landfill control is part of phase 1 implementation of the CRD’s new SWMP. The plan identified that the CRD needed to better manage wood waste at its refuse sites, as well as ensure environmental standards were being maintained. During SWMP public consultation process, CRD residents indicated they wanted access to recycling at rural refuse sites, and an increase in the types of materials available to recycle. By controlling access to the sites, attendants will be able to ensure that only clean wood waste is dropped off in the wood waste area, all other non-wood materials are disposed of in the trench, and

recycling bins are properly used. The attendant will also be able to direct users to alternate drop-off locations for items, such as used oil and tires, which do not belong at the landfills or transfer stations. In 2014, household recycling bins will be provided at all three sites for residents to use. Meeting dates • Lone Butte Community Hall, 5994 Highway 24, July 24, starting at 7 p.m. • Interlakes (Roe Lake) Community Hall, 7592 Highway 24, July 25, starting at 7 p.m. All residents who use the Lone Butte Transfer Station or the Watch Lake or Interlakes landfills should attend their local meeting. Current information about the CRD’s Solid Waste Management Plan is available online at www.cariboord.bc.ca, or by calling the CRD at 250-392-3351, or toll free at 1-800-665-1636.

they protect and maintain something that is extremely valuable to the CLB, a component of wild forests on the landscape. “Due to recent accelerated beetle harvesting, these remaining wild forests are currently even more important. Erasing these zones is really a decision about values. Are natural, wild forests valued by society, and to what extent? “Fifteen years ago, approximately one million cubic metres of annual allowable cut (AAC) was deemed to be sustainable for 100 Mile House. Due to beetle the cut has risen to about two million cubic metres AAC. Now, as we approach the end of the beetle wood, it looks like the cut must fall to below its previous level to 0.8 million AAC. (See the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Public Discussion Paper.) “The CLB is well aware that this adjustment will be difficult. Preliminary SBR results for 100 Mile House show that by removing visuals, mule deer and old growth areas, 100 Mile will gain about 12 per cent, or roughly an additional 110,000 cubic metres of available wood each year. “However, the CLB

believes that rather than experiencing a longterm AAC, it would be far more likely that most of the wood made available via the SBR would be logged off within a very short timeframe. “There are problems with the existing land-use planning framework. There are opportunities to revise and revisit the rules associated with harvesting in mule deer winter ranges. “There are opportunities to use public consultation and new technology to revise visually sensitive zones, and look at the rules that apply within in them. “There are some opportunities to relocate old-growth management areas in ways that may be acceptable and beneficial. There are ways to marginally improve the mid-term timber supply outlook, but these will require real work and broad participation. “The SBR is a short-term quick-fix approach. If successful, it will likely delay the fall in the AAC by a year or two, but at the expense of our remaining ecological capital. “In the opinion of the Canim Lake Band, the costs far outweigh the benefits.”

TIPS ON WATERING

• Keep the soil moist, especially when plants are young. • Water plants more frequently when they are ﬂowering and fruiting. • Water “deeply”, this means that one good watering is better than a few short waterings. Put your ﬁnger in the soil, if the soil is wet 2-4 inches down, you are good to go!

Chambers of commerce for tax reform

Carole Rooney Free Press

The British Columbia Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is calling on the provincial government to place top priority on implementing tax reform to boost job creation and economic prosperity in B.C. The BCCC demands government find a better solution than the “embarrassing” Provincial Sales Tax (PST). In his arguments for tax reform, BCCC president and chief executive officer John Winter says the PST “stunts business growth in B.C., scares

away Canadian or international businesses” ... and “mires everybody in red tape and nonsensical rules.” South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) president Jennifer Appleby says her board agrees with the stance of the provincial organization. “We are in support of the [BCCC] and its effort to end the “abysmal” PST.” The added costs of the PST are burdensome to local business, she explains. “The downsides we are hearing from business members are that there is an increase to

the cost of capital assets for business by seven per cent. There is also the increase in cost of accounting for small business.” After reverting back to a double-tiered system from the shortlived Harmonized Sales Tax, Appleby notes local accountants are also seeing increased time required, as a result of trying to deal with two taxes, instead of one. At its annual general meeting and conference in May, the BCCC, which represents 36,000 businesses, asked the province to begin discussions about creating a value-added tax

(VAT). While those dialogues get underway, the BCCC general assembly also recommends the province widen PST exemptions on investment in machinery and equipment to enable B.C. businesses to invest

in technologies and equipment needed to stay competitive. It also wants the province to continue with administrative improvements to the PST. Winter says doing away with the PST regime would improve

dents will receive an hours-of-service information sheet, rear-view mirror tag and information sheet, and a survey/ feedback form by mail. He noted there will also be a bulk mail-out of the hours of service information sheet to other Area L residents. Provision of recycling facilities at these sites is also planned but won’t take place until 2014, he added. To view the proposed schedule and to complete the survey form, residents can go to the CRD website at cariboord. bc.ca.

Perspectives

Time to get to work on economy

C Women in trades supported Over the next decade, there will be an estimated one million job openings in British Columbia in liquefied natural gas, mining and mineral exploration, and shipbuilding – 43% will require trades and technical training. In order to fulfill B.C.’s potential for prosperity and ensure British Columbians are first in line for well-paid jobs, the province needs to tap into the full range of B.C.’s potential workforce. Under the BC Jobs Plan (BCJP), government is investing more than $4 million in 2013/14 through the Canada-B.C. Labour Market Agreement to enable 675 women to access mentorship opportunities and trades training programs, complete skills upgrading, and receive financial support for child care, transportation, tools and equipment. These funds support valuable programs in every region of the province – the Industry Training

GUEST SHOT

Everything is good in Premier Christy Clark’s world right now, but there is a lot of hard work ahead for her BC Liberal Party. Clark won the Westside-Kelowna byelection by a landslide on July 10. She garnered 63 per cent of the ballots cast – 10,666 votes and more than doubled her closest rival NDP candidate Carole Gordon who had 30 per cent of the ballots at 5,045 votes. The outcome was never in doubt. The Westide-Kelowna constituency is a B.C. Liberal stronghold, and while Gordon gave it a good go, the premier has been on a roll since the May provincial election campaign. There is no doubt that the constituents wanted the premier to represent them as their MLA, even though she won’t be living in Westside-Kelowna on a full-time basis. You can bet Clark will have a very strong constituency office staff and the manager will have the ear of the premier regarding the concerns and goings-on in the community. Clark won’t be anointed until the final vote count, which begins today (July 17), but there will be a rush to get her into the legislature before the rare summer session shuts down. Once the pomp and ceremony are out of the way, it will be time for Clark and her cabinet to roll up their sleeves and get down to work on living up to their election campaign promises. Economic pressures are very difficult for this province right now and it will be some time before the liquefied natural gas gravy train comes to fruition. There will be no room for frills in the next few years. There won’t be a lot of room for new spending. We’re all going to have to be prepared to tighten our belts, and this is one area Premier Clark should definitely be leading the way. Government spending will have to be reduced. Government bureaucracy will have to be trimmed. We also have to be looking at the province’s debt load because British Columbians will be hamstrung by it if we don’t start getting it back under control. The B.C. Liberals have some tough decisions to make, but they still have to be careful about how they go about it. It would be wise for Premier Clark to consult with the electorate, to work with the opposition and then devise a plan to pull the province out of the economic doldrums. We would suggest the B.C. Liberals lead the way in terms of work ethics and prepare to have a fall sitting of the legislature. There is far too much to be done on the road to prosperity and there is no time to waste.

of industries, while providing opportunities to network with women who have found success in trades and technology careers. Now more than ever, B.C. women are realizing a career in trades can mean independence, job satisfaction and great pay. Approximately 10% of all apprentices in B.C. are women, up from 8.5% in 2009. By working together with industry, employers, post-secondary partners and women throughout B.C., we can meet the growing demand for skilled tradespeople and make sure women are finding opportunity, job satisfaction and good pay in the skilled trades. There has never been a more exciting time for women to pursue a career in trades. For more information on government’s commitment to skills training, visit www.bcjobsplan.ca.

Opinion

Seed corporations must be watched To the editor: While Canadians were focused on the donnybrook over senators’ expenses on May 23, the last day of public input on Regulations Amending the Seeds Regulations, Canada Gazette Part 1 Vol. 147, No. 10 passed without media comment. It also passed without the public at large being aware that significant alteration may be made facilitating new varieties of seed coming on the market and subsequent removal

from the market of existing varieties. If proposed changes in regulations are made, precedent is established for the loosening of controls over varieties of seed being brought to market. The prime rationale is seed-producing corporations will be able to bring new varieties on the market more rapidly and with less cost to them. New varieties have an 18-year period of royalties to the producer.

There are several concerns. With no testing, qualities may not be accurate in practice – and there may be genetically modified varieties placed on the market. If the seed does not live up to its untested specifications, the farmers planting them will suffer the negative effects with no compensation. Corporations may focus on producing new varieties rather than replacing those that have been in use, as they are approaching the

CIDA amalgamation a cynical move To the editor: I think one must be absolutely cynical or completely daft to take as partners in helping the poor of the Third World the Canadian large corporations and mining companies exploiting their resources. Yet it is the approach taken by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government by recently amalgamating Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) under the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development. Whether cynical or daft, the Harper government is diverting Canadian development assistance for the poor to companies whose interests are opposite – in principle and practice – to the well-being of these poor people. There are numerous well-known evidence and testimonies in this regard. Mr. Harper knows the role played by multinationals in the impoverishment of several third-world countries. He is making another dangerous right turn in favour of the very rich, whose first victims, in the truest sense, will be the poorest of the world. I hope pressures from the public, from opposition parties and from members of their own party will force Harper Conservatives to change their mind about CIDA and adopt a much more humane approach towards the poorest. Assistance to the poor is fragile and must go to the poor – not to large corporations. Bruno Marquis Gatineau, Que.

end of the royalty period and can be withdrawn from the market. Corporate producers benefit – farmers are placed at risk in several ways. May 23 was the last day the public voice will be heard. There is no necessity of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or the minister reporting the weight of opinion expressed nor the rationale behind what the decision will be – for corporate or farmer interest.

In Europe and in the United States, there is more rigorous testing. It will be important that the alteration be noted should it be made and whether it will have the effect of maintaining what was written in 2007 in a work, entitled “What are some of the differences between the EU and Canadian systems?” ... “Canada has been an early adopter of GM technology.” Joe Hueglin Niagara Falls, Ont.

B.C. has greatest gap between the poorest and richest

To the editor: There was a time, not long ago, when I thought Bill Vander Zalm and Rafe Mair were as far to the right on the political spectrum as you could possibly get. During the anti-HST campaign, I had the opportunity of listening to both, and subsequently read what they have had to say about the current state of affairs, both political and economical in

British Columbia ever since the faux-Liberal/Reform Party took the reins of power. I have since come to realize that I share many of the views both these former politicians have expressed in public presentations and discussions I have attended. Maybe we need to re-examine exactly how far on the right wing of the political spectrum in B.C. the current faux-Liberal/Reform

Party is really situated. B.C. has a child poverty rate of 14.3 per cent, but also had the most unequal distribution of income among rich and poor families with children. The ratio of the average incomes of the richest 10 per cent compared to the poorest 10 per cent was the worst of any province at 13.8 to one. John Visentin Williams Lake

Pothole standards not being met To the editor: The Fawn Creek Fawn Lake roads pothole society is very disappointed in the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and local area manager Michelle Schilling for their inability to bring Fawn Creek and Fawn Lake roads up to minimum standards.

The standard is one pothole for every 25 metres of road and not 25 potholes for every metre of road. Excessive potholes can lead to accidents; that’s why we have standards. Shame on you! Mike Bolivar Fawn Lake

BC VIEWS

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered. By the time the byelection in WestsideKelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the British Columbia government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.

facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

the province Two arrested in armed home invasion

WILLIAMS LAKE - Two males are in custody and will appear in court Monday after they were arrested following an armed home invasion in Williams Lake. On Sunday, July 14 at approximately 3:30 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a report of a home invasion on Mackenzie Avenue. The investigation revealed that two suspects forced their way into a residence armed with pepper spray and a firearm, demanding items. After a brief skirmish with the occupants, the suspects fled. Moments later the police identified a nearby residence where the suspects were located and arrested without incident. The weapons were recovered. Both suspects are presently in custody and well known to police. Police are still investigating and it is anticipated the suspects will appear in court later today for charges relating to break and enter and weapon and firearms offences.

Rocks wreck windows

MERRITT - Several Merritt residents were rudely awakened early on Thursday morning, July 11 by youths knocking on doors and throwing rocks at houses. Local RCMP responded to complaints in the area of Mamette Avenue and Langley Street between 3:30 and 5 a.m. One woman reported on the Facebook group Merritt Crimewatch that she was sleeping on the couch in her Granite Ave. home when she was woken up at 4:30 a.m. by a rock striking her in the head. The rock had been thrown through a window. The woman reported her injuries aren’t serious, but she has “quite a goose-egg.” “What may seem like minor pranks to some youth could result in serious charges of assault causing bodily harm and could have been more severe circumstances if a young child or elderly person had been the victim of this useless behaviour,” Merritt RCMP Const. Tracy Dunsmore said in a press release. Several residents left their homes to patrol the area for suspects. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Merritt RCMP detachment at 378-4262 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

I think the best thing about the Pow Wow is meeting new people, getting out in the community and celebrating our Indian culture.

The best thing about it is that a lot of families get together and catch up, that don’t otherwise see each other often. There is lots of cultural mixing, too, which is really good.

I like how we all gather together at the Pow Wow and see people that we really don’t see often otherwise.

The best part of the Canim Lake Pow Wow for me is when the little children are dancing. They light up, especially the ones with new outfits.

Genetics and cancer are closely linked. U.S. scientists have discovered mutations in several genes that might be involved with esophageal cancer. The hope is that this knowledge will help develop treatments to prevent the disease from occurring. The cure for cancer could lie in our genes. At this time of year, our heels often become quite rough from going barefoot so often. Foot files are available to smooth the skin but have to be used with care. Pumice stones are much safer to use. Diabetics should be particularly cautious and pay close attention to their foot care. If you are stung by a bee, the stinger may still be in the skin. Take a credit card or a needle (not tweezers!) and scrape the stinger carefully off the skin. Pulling it out with tweezers might release more venom causing more swelling and pain.

Missing boaters found safe

Police

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 66 complaints and calls for service during the past week. On July 11 at 4 p.m., 100 Mile RCMP were called about a boating incident on Bridge Lake. A witness reported that a boat with one adult and three youth had stopped at the provincial campground, then went back out onto the lake and they were caught in a passing storm. The complainant had lost sight of the boat and was worried for the safety of the occupants. 100 Mile RCMP responded with their boat while notifying Search and Rescue, which also deployed a small team to Bridge Lake. The boat in question was later located at the boat dock of Moondance Bay Resort. The occupants were spoken to on shore and they were all safe. Search and Rescue personnel were advised and the search was stood down. The boat operator

advised he took shelter on one of the islands during the storm and then returned to the resort when it was safe. Single MVI On July 10 at 7:20 p.m., 100 Mile RCMP and emergency crews responded to a single vehicle collision on Highway 24 at the intersection of Fawn Creek Road. Witnesses reported a blue Ford car with only one occupant travelling at a high rate of speed. The male driver lost control and went down an embankment while shearing off a tree. The driver had obvious symptoms of alcohol impairment. He was transported from the scene by ambulance to the 100 Mile District General Hospital for an assessment. The driver refused to provide a breath sample. The driver was also determined to be prohibited from driving under the Criminal Code and his vehicle was not insured. After being released from hospital, the driver was held until sober Continued on A12

A 16-year-old Quesnel resident perished in a single vehicle roll-over three kilometres south of 100 Mile House about 2 p.m. on July 12. Two other occupants, a male and a female also from Quesnel, were extricated from the car and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Seniors injured in moose collision on Highway 24

An older man and woman were injured when their vehicle hit a moose on Highway 24 on July 6. Their Toyota car was also severely damaged by the crash, which killed the moose. Police, fire departments and BC Ambulance Service crews responded to the scene in the 6300-block of the highway when the report was called in at 9:45 p.m. Both vehicle occupants incurred non-life-threatening injuries and were transported by ambulance to 100 Mile District General Hospital. 100 Mile House RCMP Sgt. Don McLean said no update has been provided as to how these senior citizens are doing. He explained the RCMP was able to keep the highway mostly open because the vehicle had gone off the road into the bush. However, the animal debris left the roadway “quite a mess” until crews arrived to clean it up. Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department (IVFD) chief Doug Townsend said the man was extricated from the car by 100

Mile House Fire-Rescue (OMHFR), which provides the highway rescue services. “It’s just amazing they are alive; it was a tremendous impact. Not only with the moose, but going off the road into those trees, that would be a secondary impact.” He explained the crash occurred less than a kilometre west of Fawn Creek Road, and his department responded with a dozen members, including five first responders, and two engines. IFVD remained on scene for about three hours, Townsend noted, and Lone Butte Fire Department and OMHFR provided mutual aid. Anyone impacting a moose with their vehicle is always going to have some severe damage result as well as a risk of injuries, Townsend said, reminding folks the South Cariboo is a wildlife area where animals are frequently seen on the roads. “With something the size of a moose is always going to be a horrendous accident.”

McLean, who is operations supervisor at the local detachment, reports liquor and speed were not factors in the incident. Highway 97 was closed for a short period of time until an alternate traffic pattern could be established. Later in the day, the highway was opened to one lane each for north and south bound vehicles while the Collision Reconstruction Analyst from Prince George and Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services examined the scene.

For everyone’s safety: don’t drink and drive

On June 28, the provincial government, police and ICBC kicked off this summer’s CounterAttack campaign, and ask drivers to plan ahead throughout the summer if their activities involve alcohol. “Our tough impaired driving law is having a positive impact on the safety of British Columbians,” says Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton. “While we’ve seen tremendous improvements, we’re committing more than $1 million to enhanced enforcement this year, which includes the summer CounterAttack campaign, to ensure police across the province can dedicate officers to enforcement of the impaired driv-

ing laws and other road safety priorities. This is above and beyond the work that is done every day by police officers throughout the province to keep our roads safe.” Since B.C.’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition program came into effect in September 2010, there has been an unprecedented 51 per cent reduction in alcoholrelated traffic fatalities, with an estimated 143 lives saved. “We never want to see families suffer the tragic loss of a loved one in an impaired related crash,” says Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “That’s why the CounterAttack campaign ramps up its efforts in the summertime, when the camping and barbecue

Cell service improved in rural areas Telus representatives recently provided the Cariboo Regional District board with an update on cellular phone service within the Cariboo Chilcotin. In the presentation by Bert Braybook and Brian Mason, the area directors and staff in attendance received an overview on a total investment of $4.5 million in cellular service upgrades over the past year in the Cariboo. The coming months will see more improvements to include boosted cellular coverage in 150 Mile House, 100 Mile House and the Lac la Hache corridor. Then in 2014, more new sites for wireless areas will be addressed, including the 108 Mile Ranch and McLeese Lake areas, as well as increased capacity and fibre optics in other areas in the region along Highway 97.

season begins, to help keep everyone safe on the roads. Please remember, if your summer festivities involve drinking, plan for a safe ride home ahead of time.” If your summer activities involve alcohol, make a plan before you head out. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely – call a taxi, take transit or call a sober friend. Police across the province will be looking for drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol at CounterAttack road checks throughout the summer. For more tips and information on the summer CounterAttack campaign, visit the campaign page on www.icbc. com.

Parliament wraps up for summer break Cathy McLeod pleased by tax, matrimonial bills’ success

Carole Rooney Free Press

the Matrimonial Property Rights on (First Nation) Reserves was another key bill. “Currently, if you are off-reserve, there are certain protections in case of marital breakup and spousal abuse that get conferred to the mother and the children, and that was not available [on reserve].” The record for Private Members’ bills getting through the parliamentary process of was much higher than normal, McLeod says. “Certainly to get Private Members’ bills through in a busy legislative agenda is always a challenge.” Employment initiatives still have “a way to go,” she adds, but the numbers since the last recession show there has been a net increase of one million jobs that indicates “positive economic signals.”

The House of Commons spring session wrapped on June 19 and is now on its three-month summer break. K a m l o o p s T h omp s on - C ar i b o o MP Cathy McLeod says in its last five weeks, members of Parliament sat until midnight every day in session to process as much key legislation as possible. “Legislatively, it was an incredibly productive session. There are a number of important measures that have been in the works for [several] years, so I’m really, really pleased with the important pieces of legislation that were able to be passed through.” As a member of the Finance Committee, bills such as the Technical Tax Act are

a “very important” cleanup of Canada’s income tax codes, she says, adding the C-60 Budget Implementation Act was government’s “signature” piece of legislation. The committee’s work on tax evasion and the aggressive use of tax havens was also furthered in the signing of some tax convention implementation legislation, McLeod explains. “We completed a study, with measures to tackle this important issue in the Budget Implementation Act.” An important highlight was when Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other country leaders signed a declaration on the G8 tax evasion declaration at the recent G8 Conference in Northern Ireland, she adds.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman both displayed and voiced his opinion of the estimated provincial debt of more than $57 billion and climbing when the B.C. Debt Clock stopped at Tim Hortons on July 9. The recent whirlwind tour saw it visit 30 communities around the province.

Debt Clock ticked off provincial taxpayers’ group

Carole Rooney Free Press

The British Columbia Debt Clock, a big, bold trailer displaying the province’s burgeoning debt, came to Tim Hortons in 100 Mile House on July 9. Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) B.C. director Jordan Bateman was wrapping up a whirlwind, 14-day tour of communities across the province to raise awareness of the debt issue, which he estimates at more than $57 billion – and growing by $214 every second. During the tour, which was launched in late June, people often misunderstood the dollar amount, he said in 100 Mile, adding they were shocked to discover it was in billions. There is also a numeric

display of the debt-perperson - $12,000 for every man, woman and child – that also grabbed some attention, which Bateman describes as “good reactions, and lots of disbelief.” He noted debt reduction was paramount in the B.C. Liberal’s election campaign, yet it continues to grow substantially every day. If the debt continues unchecked, it will reach $70 billion by 2016, Bateman added. A smattering of people have asked him where that money is going, unsure if it is as serious as it sounds, so Bateman said he told them there is certainly valid project spending on things, such as hospitals, schools and roads. “But, I think most people expect government to

finally get ahead of these projects; I believe this bothers people.” He explained numerous discussions on the tour involved good debt as opposed to bad debt, as well as concerns about the degree of BC Hydro debt. Servicing B.C.’s debt costs about $2.5 billion a year, Bateman notes. “If it was a ministry of government, it would be the third largest – the Ministry of Debt.” Taxpayers will feel the impact of another $100 million a year if interest rates go up just one point, he said, adding that’s “a lot of money.” When former premier Gordon Campbell’s government was in power and accumulated a surplus in the mid-2000s, Bateman said he believes those funds should have

been applied against the financial debt, instead of spending it on the Olympics and other programs that are “nice to have, but obviously not necessary.” Then, the economy took another nosedive, and that previous surplus was turned into a debt that has more than doubled in 10 years, Bateman added. “Like the Juno Awards and the Times of India Film Awards ... these are nice, big, glitzy events that government loves to put money into, but we never see any cash flow result.” He noted the CTF looks for tangible returns from government spending, so wonders why tourism in the province is still declining three years after the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

‘Tick talk’ focuses on tick awareness disease, but there is no way to tell just by looking at them, so avoiding all tick bites is your best bet. Remain safe from tick bites by: • Walking on cleared trails; • Wearing long sleeves and pants and light-coloured clothing; • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots; and • Using an insect

repellent containing DEET on exposed skin. After being in an area that may have ticks, inspect your clothing and your skin, as well as that of children and pets, for ticks. If you see a tick, remove it yourself by using tweezers. Remember to remove the whole tick and avoid squeezing its body.

If a tick has buried itself into your skin, go to your family doctor or a walk-in clinic and have it removed immediately.

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

B.C. welcomes sixth LNG export application

The B.C. Liberal government’s goal to diversify the natural gas sector and expand market access to the province’s abundant supply of natural gas took another step forward on July 5 when Pacific NorthWest LNG submitted an export application with Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB). “Pacific NorthWest LNG’s export application marks another positive development in our goal to provide clean natural gas to growing markets in Asia,” says Premier Christy Clark. “By increasing the demand and reach of our natural-gas sector, we will create jobs, strengthen our econ-

omy and put British Columbia on a prosperous path to a debt-free future.” Pacific NorthWest LNG is a liquefied natural gas export operation proposed for Lelu Island within the District of Port Edward, near Prince Rupert. The facility would liquefy and ship natural gas from northeastern British Columbia to markets in Asia. Pacific NorthWest LNG is requesting to export 19.68 million tonnes of LNG annually for 25 years. FAST bytes • BG Group has an application to export 21.6 million metric tonnes annually of LNG from its Prince Rupert

LNG export facility. • Imperial Oil/ ExxonMobil Canada Ltd. has an application to export 30 million metric tonnes annually of LNG. It continues to assess potential site locations. • The NEB is an independent federal regulator of Canada’s energy industry. Its purpose is to regulate pipelines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest. • The NEB has issued export licences to three other LNG proponents: LNG Canada (Shell and co-venture partners); Kitimat LNG (Chevron/Apache) and Douglas Channel LNG (Texas-based company and Haisla Nation partnership).

Kokoro club competes at Judo nationals

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Kokoro Judo Club in 100 Mile House had seven members compete at the 2013 Canadian Judo Championships in Richmond, July 4-7. Ali Briggs, who is registered with Kokoro, but attends University of Lethbridge, won a silver medal in the women’s 52-kilogram under 21 years division. She also fought up a class in the senior women’s division for bronze, but had to settle for fourth. Aidan Fentiman, a Kokoro blue belt, won a match but did not succeed in making it to a medal round. Other club members who competed at nationals were Jesse Chamberlain, Richard Tracey, Paige Hall, Mason Peters and Reid Collinson. Coach Ian Briggs says all of his students fit in well with the competition. “Our athletes, going in with their level of experience and level of belts, did incredibly well.

was incredible.” As the host province, British Columbia was allowed to enter more competitors than the other provinces, but all had to meet the selection criteria. “We’re fortunate so many got to go. This experience will set them up for the next few years.” The top 2 result for Ali

Briggs secured her a spot on Team Canada for its European tour, July 22-Aug. 4 during which she will compete at tournaments in Prague and Berlin. In Prague, she will also attend a training camp with her team and other elite judo athletes. The first stop is the national training centre in Montreal, says Ali.

“This trip is very exciting for me. I hope it will be the first of many international competitions.” Her goal this year was to place in the top 2 at Canadian nationals so she could compete in Europe. “I’ve made it. I’ve trained hard this year and this trip is really something of a reward. I have no doubt the competi-

tion will be very tough, and I look forward to my first try on the international stage.” The 19-year-old was a national bronze medallist in 2009, 2010 and 2011. She has participated in judo since the age of 12, also winning gold at the 2010 British Columbia Winter Games and silver at the 2011 BC Judo Championships.

Volunteers needed to help make 100 Mile House Wranglers number 1 Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club is looking for volunteers to help the local team put on a great show during its inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The club is asking for anyone who is interested in making the team a success and becoming part of its history to show up at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre (SCRC) for the 100 Mile House Wranglers Volunteer Fair on July 18 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Club president Tom Bachynski says the Volunteer Fair is the “big callout” for volunteers this season, and prospective volunteers only need to bring some ID (for the club data base) and their willingness to help out. There will be a sheet with the list of the volunteer duties and there is a wide variety of tasks to pick from.

“We have had a lot of people express some interest [in volunteering], but now we need to have them actually commit to that interest. This is the big one where we need people to sign up.” As far as how many volunteers the Wranglers need, Bachynski says the “more volunteers they have the less of a burden it is on everybody. “We need to have volunteers for the pre-season, the 26-game regular season and the playoffs. It becomes a bit of a burden and you don’t want to do it all of the time, but if you do it for five or 10 games, it’s not as big of an issue.” He adds they need between 12 and 24 volunteers a game. There are a number of great task options that would best suit each volunteer’s skills and interests. The tasks include: the Booster Club to sell merchandise; off-ice officials – scorekeepers, penalty box monitors, goal judges and announcers; and people to help monitor the stands and parking.

“Would you like to sing the national anthem? Would you like to drive the bus? If you want to be an equipment manager, sharpen skates or do anything that’s attached to hockey, we need to know.” He adds there will be a billet table – “billeting is coming along very well” – so if folks want to inquire about that program, there will be people there to answer any questions. Billets are still needed, as it is a key factor in the Wranglers operation. “We know there are shift workers, so if we know your schedule, we can marry you up to our game schedule and you can come down and help us out.” Other than the on-ice product, the volunteers are the next most important component to help the season runs smoothly. The club will also need penalty box attendants, goal judges, 50/50 ticket sellers, as well as broadcasters, announcers and videographers. Bachynski notes volunteers won’t

be charged for the games they work. “It’s a great opportunity to keep one eye on the game and the other eye on doing your volunteer task.” Everyone who wants to be involved in this exciting new entertainment product in 100 Mile House is urged to show up for the Wranglers Volunteer Fair at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road on July 18 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Bachynski says they are also looking for promotional ideas and would like to hear about them at the fair. He adds one person came to him with a great idea for a promotion between periods – dumpster diving for a diamond ring. The clean dumpster, filled with scrunched-up paper, will be brought on the ice and some lucky spectator will be given a certain amount of time to try to find the one with the piece of paper with the ring in it. The promotion will continue during the season until the ring is found. “It’s absolutely outstanding and we’re definitely going to do it.”

The 23rd Interlakes BCRA Rodeo takes place Aug. 3-4 at the Interlakes/Roe Lake Community Grounds, with main events starting at 1 p.m. both days. Slack events are Sunday at 9 a.m. Mutton busting and pig scramble for the children at halftime and Cariboo Cowgirls drill team will perform. Admission is $10/ adults and $5/seniors and children six-12 years. Local area entries will be registered July 23 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. by calling Pat Lytton at 250-593-4447.

South Cariboo athletes shine at Special Olympics BC Summer Games

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It was a very special four days for a trio of South Cariboo golf athletes who competed for Region 8 at the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games in Langley, July 11-14. Years of training and practice paid off for golfer Brett Tassel, 26, with a silver medal in the men’s 01 division. Tassel scored a 46 on day 1 and a 47 on day 2, playing nine holes each day at the Redwoods Golf Course. Aaron Goodwill placed fourth in men’s 04 and was just one stroke off a bronze medal and two away from silver. Paul Jansen was sixth in the same division. Denise Barker, Region 8 team manager and president of Special Olympics 100 Mile House says the local players worked very hard to prepare for the Games. “All three of them were amazing.

To take them out of their 100 Mile House bubble and put them in a group of over 1,000 athletes and all of the other stuff that was going on – I’m really proud of them.” She adds each had a case of nerves before playing but carried on like troopers. The Games featured more than 1,100 athletes from all over British Columbia and Yukon, competing in 11 sports, including five- and 10-pin bowling, basketball, bocce, golf, power lifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, and track and field. CTV’s Ann Luu was the master of ceremonies for the opening ceremony at the Langley Events Centre on July 11, and it ended with athletes singing and dancing to Elvis Presley tribute artist, Steve Elliot – also known at Elvis Elite. Elliot also performed at a closing dance held for the athletes and has performed in the South Cariboo a number of times during the past few years.

Local boys help Williams Lake win U16 boys’ provincial championships It was with heavy hearts that the Williams Lake Prospects – a U16 boys minor fastball team – travelled to Clearwater on July 4 for the U16 Boys Softball BC Minor Provincial Championships. Days prior to the tournament, Kyle Moore, one of the team’s coaches from 100 Mile House, passed away suddenly.

His son, Brandon – who, along with Conner Edle, both from 100 Mile, was picked up by the Prospects – decided he wanted to play in the provincial championships. He had the full support of his teammates and coaches. In honour of their fallen coach, the players wore red ribbons throughout the fourday tournament, which

ran from July 5-7. The teams included Williams Lake, Prince George, Kitimat, Clearwater, Fleetwood, Chilliwack and Cloverdale. Tournament key organizer Melody Romeo says there were three A/B teams and 4 C teams registered for the tourney. The Prospects registered as a B team played in the

A/B division. “They all played against each other [in the round robin], but in the playoffs, they competed in their own divisions.” On Friday, the Prospects opened the tournament with a 27-2 run-away victory over the Prince George Timberwolves – a C division team. Later that day they fell 7-6 to Cloverdale (A/B division) in a closely contested and exciting game. On Saturday, the Prospects lost to Chilliwack – the eventual A/B division tournament winners. However, they went on to defeat Cloverdale in a rematch to earn a berth in the bronzemedal finals. On Sunday, they fell 8-2 to Cloverdale and settled for the A/B division bronze medal. Prospects manager Trish Morey says the boys gave it their best while all facing some

tough circumstances. “They battled the whole weekend. We lost our coach and the one who stepped in [Greg Edle] did a really great job ... he didn’t

even know the players’ names and had never seen them play before that weekend.” Romeo says there was a moment of silence for Kyle during the opening

ceremonies. “Kyle will be missed by all of us. He was a real friend to the softball fraternity.” With files from Greg Sabatino.

100 Mile Men’s Fastball League in playoff mode Ken Alexander Free Press

Monika Paterson photo

Jakes Pub player Gord Smith made good contact with the ball during the first game of the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League playoffs on July 15. Jakes knocked off Exeter Sporting Goods 15-9 to advance to the championship best-of-three finals next week.

The 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League started its two-week playoff round on July 15, and all playoff games start at 6:30 p.m. (except the July 19 semifinals) at Lumberman’s Park on Airport Road next to the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. Regular season champs Jakes Pub hosted second-place finishers Exeter Sporting Goods on July 15 and Jakes won 15-9. Thanks to the victory, Jakes advanced directly to the best-of-three playoff finals, while Exeter will take on the league’s fifthplace Sanford Dillman Hornets tonight (July 17). The winner of this contest will go up against the winner of the Red Rock Avengers (third place) July 16 game with the fourthplace Shuswap Defenders (score unavailable). The winners of the July 16 and 17 games will battle it out on July 19, starting at 5:30 p.m. The winner of the July 19 game advances to the championship finals against Jakes Pub, which will be played on July 22, 23 and 25 if necessary. These contests will also be held at Lumberman’s Park and start at 6:30 p.m. The playoffs are the culmination of an

interesting and entertaining men’s fastball season, which saw the league battle with the weatherman to get the games completed and teams playing through the wind, rain and cold on several occasions. It also saw the end of the Bantam team, but some of last year’s Bantams joined the other teams and were very competitive, as they got used to the faster pitching. Their confidence grew as the season wore on, and hopefully they will be the core group that carries men’s fastball into the future. The Shuswap Defenders had trouble fielding a team throughout the latter part of the season, but players from other league teams came to the rescue. Rather than forcing forfeiture, opposing players volunteered to play for the Defenders. Some players even showed up ready to play for the Defenders just in case when their teams weren’t playing. Sportsmanship wasn’t the only thing that flourished this year, as the stands were filled with fans for most of the games – even the games that turned into rainouts drew spectators. During the regular season, the fans saw some great ball; it can only get better in the playoffs.

Squirts place fifth at softball provincials COUNTRY TIRE Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The 100 Mile ‘N’ Hour Squirt Rep team topped off a great season with 13 wins and nine losses by placing fifth at the 2013 U12 Softball Provincial Championships in Clearwater, July 5-7. They had a tough start in Game 1 against a strong North Surrey team, losing 12-2, with catcher Ryan Allan capturing the team’s MVP award. The team was as hot as the 25 C weather in game 2, taking out Merritt, 38-12. 100 Mile held a 12-5 lead after the first three innings, with every player on the roster registering at least one hit. With the score at 17-11 in the fifth inning, the team exploded for 21 runs. Brayden Glen had four hits and scored four times to win the team’s MVP honour. Game 3 on Saturday morning had 100 Mile challenging the tournament favourites and eventual champions Cloverdale Hurricanes. Cloverdale took the lead with five runs in the first inning but

strong pitching from Tanner Hooper and Hayden Prodnuk, along with good defence by Marshall Tessaro slowed Cloverdale’s pace for the rest of the game. Allan hit a grand slam to give 100 Mile a brief 7-5 lead, but the team found itself down 8-7 in the bottom of the sixth inning where Cloverdale scored an additional two runs to secure its victory. “The kids took this loss hard,” says 100 Mile coach Cale Tessaro. “It was the best game they played all year.” A round-robin win in game 4 versus South Surrey put 100

Mile as fifth seed in the double-knockout

playoff round, with the first game against

Clearwater, which they won 13-8. They met Surrey again for round 2 on Sunday morning, taking a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but eventually losing 14-2. Their final match with Fleetwood ended in a 12-4 loss. “Tanner Hooper pitched great for us all weekend long and Ryan Allan got great praise from all teams for his great back catching. The team played really well and never gave up all weekend,” says Tessaro.

Conner Edle joins Vipers at fast pitch westerns When the Chilliwack Vipers step up to bat at the 2013 U16 Western Canadian Fast Pitch Championships, they’ll be getting help from 100 Mile House player Conner Edle. A team member of the Williams Lake Prospects Bantam A squad and sometimes pitcher for the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League, Edle was picked up by the Vipers at the recent Bantam A Provincials. “I made a few good plays and they asked if I wanted CONNER to play for them at Westerns,” says Edle. “I was pretty EDLE surprised.” The Vipers are the 2013 Bantam A Provincial Champions and will compete at Westerns, in Winnipeg, Aug. 2-5. Edle has been playing ball for the past seven years, and with no Bantam division team in 100 Mile House this year, he played all season with the Prospects and the local men’s fastball league, alongside his dad, Greg Edle. He expects to play centre field for the Vipers and is pretty excited. “I’d always hoped for something like this.”

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!

Changes coming to Central Interior Hockey League

When the Lac la Hache Tomahawks lace up their skates for the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) in a few months, the league will have a new look. There will be different teams than the 2012/13 campaign and a different way of resolving ties at the end of 60 minutes of regulation time. At the recent CIHL annual general meeting in Smithers, the Vanderhoof Omenica Ice organization announced it won’t be putting a team on the ice. The team struggled getting enough players to ice a squad. However, the Hazelton Wolverines will be rejoining the CIHL after folding at the end of the 2011/12 season. The Wolverines met the deadline and have provided all of the necessary credentials and documentation, so they will be playing this season. This will mean the east/west scheduling spilt will still work. Lac la Hache Tomahawks coach Al Navrot says he would have liked to see Vanderhoof stay. “It would have given us a 10-team league and more balanced. They were also closer for us.” Meanwhile, the executive voted to get rid of the automatic shootout in the event of a tie. In a near unanimous vote by the CIHL board and player reps, games that end in a tie during regulation time will go to a five-minute, four-on-four overtime period before proceeding to the shootout. Navrot was the only one at the meeting not in favour of the change because he thinks it will be hard on his players. “It’s a working-class league, not the NHL. After travelling to games, the guys are already burned out and tired. This just leaves us longer on the road.” Continued on A26

On behalf of Canlan Ice Sports, Josh Dickerson, left, and Dianne Bob hand over a cheque for $1,817.46 to KidSport 100 Mile House treasurer John Benastick.

KidSport gets welcome donation

KidSport 100 Mile House (KOMH) recently got a shot in the arm from Canlan Ice Sports in the form of $1,817.46, which were proceeds from its South Cariboo Mega Show held in May. KidSport helps cover sports program registration costs for children whose parents may face

financial obstacles. Last year, the local organization granted more than $8,000 to 55 recipients involved in soccer, hockey, figure skating, judo and softball. John Benastick, trea-

surer for KOMH, says the organization is in need of someone who can take over his position and would like to hear from anyone who can help out. He can be reached at 250-3958225.

Mile 108 Elementary School principal Tom Turner retires

Wednesday, July 17, 2013 100 Mile Free Press

www.100milefreepress.net

108 Mile Ranch

Reg Berrington 250-791-9235

berringtonservices@shaw.ca

Mile 108 Elementary School principal Tom Turner officially retires this month. Tom started his teaching career in 1974 by attending the University of Victoria. He studied education, majored in biology and physical education (PE), and played rugby and water polo for the university. His first position was in 1980 at the 100 Mile Elementary School where he taught PE. He also created and participated in a resource management course and made 26 trips with the students around the Bowron Lakes Chain near Barkerville. In 1988, Tom designed and wrote a logging and forestry program. He moved to Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School to teach the new program. With assistance from Ainsworth Lumber Co., the students formed their own logging operation and

eventually became one of Ainsworth’s contractors. The program had very strong community support and graduated many of the students directly into the local industry. The program and Tom were awarded the Reader’s Digest Leadership Award in Education in 1994. From 1980 to 2003, he was involved in school volleyball, basketball, track and field, cross-country running, wrestling and rugby. Tom coached both boys and girls. He took teams to provincial championships nine times, and took rugby teams to California in 1998. I met Tom in September 2011 when I interviewed him about the school’s new geothermal heating system. Fortunately, I met a principal who was not only friendly, but was also pleased to see me. I became very impressed with the way Tom interacted with his students, as well as his involvement with his teachers. Parents told me Tom was easy to deal with and always willing to help with the education of the students. Tom was always willing to show off the talent of his students

and teachers, which made it easier for me to report in my articles. We also talked about his passion for flying. Tom recently upgraded his pilot’s licence so he would be able to take paying passengers. He is the owner of a four-passenger plane that is parked at the South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Mile) and Tom says that he has a flying contract. So, if you hear a plane making a lot of noise, look up because it could be Tom having the time of his life. Horses and Heroes The third annual Private Treaty Horse Sale was held at the 108 Stables on July 6. When I was there, the vendors were still setting up the tables, parking was great and there was lots of room for all. The weather was cloudy and windy, a little cool for this time of year. There were a few horses in the paddocks and some riders were showing what their horses could do in the arena. There was new and used tack for sale, a lot of food at the concession, pony rides, raffles and draws, children’s activities, a silent auction and more.

“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.

Now Go Play!

Come as you are, and rest in the presence of God.

Model plane show will hit great heights

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Fun-Fly Air Show, being hosted by the 100 Mile Model Flyers Society, promises to bring the excitement of a full-sized air show in a mini format, July 27-28. The show takes place at the South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Ranch) with up to 30 model plane enthusiasts demonstrating what they can do with their aircraft. With each person expected to bring up to four planes, there should be quite a variety, says society treasurer John Code. “We’ll have model planes and helicopters of all sizes; from small to an eight-foot (2.4 metres) wing span.” Code says he hopes to see a couple of model jets show up. He explains they have jet engines and can fly up to 200 miles per hour (322 kilometres per hour).

“It’s a big deal for a model enthusiast to own one of these because of the complexity and price. Some guys have in excess of $20,000 wrapped up in them.” He adds helicopters will be fun to watch as they fly upside down and do other stunts outside the normal realm of what a full-size helicopter can do. “If a real pilot was inside some The 100 Mile Model Flyers Society Fun-Fly Air Show takes place at of the models, Cariboo Regional Airport at 108 Mile Ranch, July 27-28. they couldn’t survive because of combat, where they’ll put with propellors, Code says. the G-forces encountered in expendable planes in the air A limbo contest, where the manoeuvres.” with a long ribbon tied to planes fly low and try to clear Code says he hopes a few their tail.

both possibilities. “It really depends on the weather and the pilots. This is really about getting together and flying planes, and we invite the public to come and watch.” He adds it’s normal procedure for each club to host a fly-in each year and put out invitations to other clubs. He’s expecting to see flyers come from Prince George, File photo Kamloops, the South Vernon, Kelowna and Revelstoke. The public will have the opportunity to view the planes up close at noon, when most will be parked during the lunch break.

“Other than that, we’ll try to keep two or three planes in the air at all times, so the public has something to watch.” Code says he’s always had the aviation bug and flies model planes for the same reasons most others do. “You see a lot of guys who love aviation, but couldn’t afford the time or cost of getting a pilot’s licence. It’s quite a broad, encompassing hobby that appeals to a broad range of interests. There’s the mechanics of it and the camaraderie of being a member of a club.” The fly-in runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to around 2 p.m. on Sunday. Dogs will not be allowed entrance. Gate admission is by cash donation which will be used for improvements to the club facility. Psalm 23 Transition Society will provide a concession.

School District # 27 is offering historic Deka Schoolhouse property for sale, or long-term lease DEKA DISTRICT Diana Forster 250 593-2155

Deka Schoolhouse, at the bottom of Mahood Lake Road, opened in 1959 with 25 students, and in 1981, with only nine students remaining, it closed down. Thereafter, it was used by Tiny Tots Playschool and Alcoholics Anonymous until, after years of non-use, it was dismantled and removed in 1998. Now, we learn School District #27 is offering this “teacherage,” on some 20 acres on Bridge Creek, for sale or longterm lease. Remnants of the well and outhouse are still visible on the property, where teacher Jean Cusworth lived for many years. Landfill meeting The Cariboo Regional District is hosting a meeting at Interlakes Hall to inform residents

about the upcoming changes at Interlakes landfill site on Horse Lake Road on July 25, starting at 7 p.m. The landfill’s new hours will be restricted to when staff is on duty, and operating hours will vary between winter and summer. Residents are asked to attend the meeting, review the upcoming changes and provide feedback. Support appreciated Bridge L ake Community School Society president Chris Lance called to express the school’s deepest appreciation to all community members who provided baked goods for the school’s baking booth at Bridge Lake Stampede. “We had an overwhelming response to our request for donated baked goods. We had around 50 pies and some people even made six or eight. “We made over $900, much more than I expected, and all because of our wonderful community. So, thank you all very much.”

Ball tourney The annual Magoo Memorial Funball Tournament, co-ordinated by Craig Charlton and Barry Larson, will be held at the Interlakes Hall ball fields on Aug. 10-11.

Throug h t he thoughtfulness of a neighbour, the generosity of the Kamloops Indian Band, a little effort from the community and co-operation from Mother Nature, in 20 years the children and grandchildren of residents should enjoy the shade of hundreds of young Douglas fir trees, planted last week. Residents helped themselves to the seedlings in a box on the side of the road marked “free.” One neighbour was shocked when he took the last of the little bundles back to his cabin. Thinking he had taken the last four trees, he carried the bag home, only to learn he now had the

The orbits are known weeks ahead of time and the schedule is on one of the space station websites at www.iss.astroviewer.net.

Sweet scents The unmistakable scent of bog orchids can now be detected in local marshes. For those residents interested in a little adventure, the wet ditches on the Wavey Lake

side roads are often filled with these wildflowers and for some reason, give off a much stronger scent than those growing around the lake. Animal harmony Lately, all the wild and domestic animals seem to be getting along. There are many reports of family sightings, including deer, badgers, loons, ducks and birds. The heat wave in June may have pushed the bears to the hills as their sightings are down in the past few weeks despite the ripened twin berries – a black bear’s favourite.

These conditions can cause a child to go into shock and sustain vital organ failure. Tragedies like these are preventable. The Canada Safety Council urges parents and caregivers to be aware of and recognize the inherent dangers of leaving a child unattended, especially in a confined space, such as

BC/DC shake it up for Hun City Hunnies fundraiser

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

BC/DC, the AC/ DC tribute band from Nelson, rocked the socks off approximately 500 people who took in their concert at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on July 6. It was the first event for organizers, Hun City Hunnies Non Profit Community Improvement Society.

The group has plans to hold community events to raise money for local charities. Hunnies board member Nadaya McNeil is calling the concert a success. “We’re happy with it, being our first, and now we hope to increase community awareness of what we do.” She says BC/DC was nothing short of amazing.

“We’d love to have them back here again. The band loved the crowd.” The audience was a mix of all ages, with many coming from outof-town to take in the concert. Admission tickets were sold at a $5 discount if people brought food items for donation to the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society, but McNeil says even those,

who paid full price and won tickets through various contests and promotions, brought food. The event brought in $5,510 in tickets sales of which $1,653 went to each of the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society and Canadian Mental Health Association. The remainder was retained as seed money for future events.

reminder that you have a child on board. • Develop the habit of consciously checking that all occupants are out of the vehicle before it is parked and locked. For example, lock your vehicle using your key, rather than a remote. Use these few seconds to scan the interior of the vehicle to make sure that no one has been left behind. • If you have a childcare provider, ask him or her to contact you in

the event that your child does not show up. This can be an important safeguard especially if your child could be taken to their childcare site by several people, such as your spouse or another family member. • If you see a child alone in a locked vehicle, call 9-1-1 to get help. • Fatalities can also occur if a child enters an unlocked vehicle and is unable to get out. Vehicle owners should keep

the doors and the trunk locked at all times while the vehicle is parked and unattended. • Do not teach chil-

dren how to unlock your vehicle or override safety features. Keep your keys in a safe location.

Local cadets training at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre

Cadets Mike Riechelt and Kevin Boys of 100 Mile House are spending some of their summer vacations training at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC).

Cadets Riechelt and Boys are members of 2887 “Rocky Mountain Rangers” Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps of 100 Mile House. Riechelt is attending the three-week Sports and Fitness Course, and Boys will take

arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The Robert Campbell and Cailin Green concert at the Solid Rock Cafe at 108 Mile Ranch on June 21 had an audience of more than 90 people. The musical duo from Nova Scotia performed much of their original music, highlighting their newest album, East. “They had a lovely mix of music; it was well done,” says Pat Melanson, an event spokesperson. The show also included local musicians Nate Berze, Doug Steven, Josslyn Ryan and Melanson’s bluegrass band. The next event at Solid Rock Cafe will be held in September.

Immunize Canada reminds Canadians about the importance of being up to date on their tetanus booster. “The Canadian Immunization Guide recommends that all Canadians receive a tetanus booster every 10 years,” says Dr. Susan Bowles, Immunize Canada chair. “The tetanus booster is safe and effective, and free for all Canadians, so there is no reason why anyone should be unprotected.” “At the same time, it is important for Canadians to be proactive about their health,” says Dr. Shelly McNeil, Immunize Canada vice-

With the arrival of warmer weather, many Canadians will be spending time outdoors to play, garden, or start home renovations, but some could be placing themselves at risk of the vaccine-preventable disease, tetanus, if they are not up-to-date with their immunizations. Tetanus is an acute and often fatal disease caused by a toxin released by bacteria present in our environment. Most individuals associate tetanus infection with rusty nails. While this may be true, tetanus infection can also occur from a minor scrape or puncture while gardening, or renovating, or even an animal bite. The bacteria that cause the disease tend to live in dirt, dust and soil and can enter the body through breaks in the skin or wounds

Words of welcome music to everyone’s ears

By Kimberly Vance

Joanne Young, of Creating Joy in Art, has been busy painting welcoming salutations to our visitors and residents from around the world this week. Look for the sunny “hellos” and “welcomes” in different languages painted on the windows of many businesses throughout town. This Welcome Windows project is part of the Welcoming Communities BC venture undertaken by Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy. I know this is a welcoming, friendly community and I believe this artwork helps show that even before newcomers step in the door. So many people from other countries visit our area at this time of year

and some of them come back to stay. Our lakes and outdoor recreation may be the reason they visit the first time, but I believe the community, the people who live here, is what persuades people to call the South Cariboo home. My goal is to promote inclusiveness for all residents into community life. That being said, it is a challenge to include every language under the summer sun, so if there is one you would love to see, please let me know. Thank you to all of the businesses and service groups that have opened his or her doors (and windows) to this project, and if anyone would like to have their windows included, phone me at 250-7063143 or let Joanne know

Hootstock returns bigger and better at the Bradley Creek Schoolhouse

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press Hootstock 2012, the outdoor festival of music, dance and the spoken word was such a success, the Bradley Creek Stumpranchers Association has decided to do it again, bigger and better, on July 26-28. This year, the event goes for three days instead of just one: on Friday, from 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.; on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.; and on Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It promises to deliver even more great entertainment at the same historic Bradley Creek Schoolhouse grounds venue, which is located 40 kilometres east of 100 Mile House on Eagle Creek Road, approximately 12 km from Forest Grove. The lineup of entertainment is extensive, with more than 30 performers, including Ball Gag N Chain Gang, Amber Bowen, Aetheria, Blueline, The Dire Wolves, Drum & Bell Tower, Doug Koyama, Esmerelda, Jesaja Class, Roarlore, Lorne Dufour, Maestro Kit, Mike Freesoul Band, Mag Mawhinney, Marianne Van Osch, Oren Barter, Papa Lung, Rak’shada, Sage Birchwater, Samantha Scott, Tax Free Liquor, Tom & John, The Hobo, and more. Koyama will offer his Timeless Voices a cappella workshop and Van Osch presents her, From Memories to Manuscript, workshop on how to turn family and historical stories and memories into a published work.

Some 100 Mile House youth cyclists will be riding more safely thanks to a grant from the Cariboo Regional District (CRD). On behalf of the Youth Zone, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre employee Bithia Harris successfully applied for some funding from the CRD to buy bike helmets for area youth. The Youth Zone received enough money to purchase seven bike helmets, the CAI Youth Project co-ordinator says. She adds Youth Zone staff members have gift certificates that can be redeemed at the 100 Miler Gear Garage for a bike helmet of his or her choice. “When they see someone who rides to the Youth Zone on a regular basis without a helmet, they might
