100 Mile House and Surrounding Area
Welcoming Communities projects geared towards newcomers and immigrants By Mel Newcombe Are you new to the area? Are you interested in all the great things there are to do living here? Are you trying to meet new friends? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will definitely want to know all about the Welcoming Communities Project (WCP) in 100 Mile House. Earlier this year, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) received grant money from WelcomeBC to help immigrants and newcomers settle into their new lives and become part of their new community.

Joanne Young was busy painting “hellos” and words of welcome in English and “every language under the sun” on glass doors and windows of organizations throughout 100 Mile House, including this German greeting at Brand Source Furniture. To participate in this local Welcoming Communities BC program, call Kimberly Vance at 250-706-3143.

To help with this project, CCPL hired Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye for the position of Welcoming Communities co-ordinator for 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo. Kimberly says a Welcoming Community is one that does not simply tolerate difference, but is one that celebrates it. “To be welcoming and inclusive, communities must include people from diverse cultural backgrounds in all aspects of community life and recognize their contributions to that community.” She adds the WCP programs vary greatly from community to community and they are devel-
oped based on the community’s needs and strengths. In January 2013, the South Cariboo Research Consortium (contracted by the South Cariboo Community Planning Council and (CCPL) developed a survey that was distributed to newcomers, businesses and service providers. From the responses, community strengths were identified, as were gaps in knowledge and service. A proposed action plan was developed. The demographic profile of the South Cariboo was also considered in the development of the plan. As a member of that research
team, Kimberly understood the need to uphold this community assessment when planning, adapting and implementing this action plan in our community. There are a variety of Welcoming Communities projects set for the South Cariboo. Some highlights include: Welcome windows Window paintings throughout the town of “hello” and “welcome” in English and another language of the window owner’s choice to welcome newcomers and residents alike from all around the world.

Keep your old power meter, for a fee
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
in this week’s
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced recently. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, he added. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the British Columbia Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, he added. BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter.

Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call. Bennett said mechanical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not. “When somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall. You can’t buy them anywhere.”

Gymkhana provided hot competition Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club had its third gymkhana in a four-event series at the Outriders Arena on July 21. Registration was down, with 12 in total, and most likely due
to hot weather, says co-ordinator Dawnna Robertson. “It was another fun-filled day for our gymkhana. We had a few less, perhaps due to the heat.” Kassidy Kalisnyk was the all-around winner in the Peewee division and her sister, Kennedy
Kalisnyk, was first in the Junior category. In the Intermediate division, Nicky Sigouin earned first place, with Raven Gentry placing second. Sara Sigouin won the Senior division and Tanya Johnson and Courtney Best were second and third
respectively. The Jack Benny division was won by Tracy Gentry, with Lorne Gentry second and Pam Barker third. The announcer for the day was Bob Paul. The final gymkhana of the 2013 series takes place Aug. 25 at
the Outriders Arena. That’s when series aggregate winners will be announced and awarded belt buckles. A potluck lunch and tack swap will follow. The gymkhana gets underway at 10 a.m. For more details call Robertson at 250-706-4370.
Golfers shine under cloudy skies Arlene Jongbloets Free Press
Weekly Men’s night at the 108 Resort golf continues to draw good numbers with 59 teeing off under cloudy skies on July 17. Cashing in on prize money in the firstflight low-gross race were Dave Robertson, Andy Fletcher and Jim Laird, who placed first to third. First-flight low-net winners were Bill Baerg, Joe Batalha and Dean McNeil. Second-flight lowgross winners were Spence Henderson, John Tomlinson and Karam Parsad. First to third for third-flight low-gross were Marvin Declare, Larry McKave and Ken Brennan. Low-net win-
ners were Tom Lund, Gord Spare and Gary Desjardine. Long drives were hit by Bob Garrow, Brian Coldwell and Declare. Closest-to-the-
pin winners were Baerg, Henderson and Brennan. Deuce pot winners were Baerg, Andy Wahnschaff and Wayne Kidwell.
Seniors Club saw the gals outscore the guys Ken Alexander
July 18 was the most perfect day today for seniors golf at the 108 Golf Resort, says Senior Club spokesperson Shirley Boyson. “There was a lot of sunshine and a lovely breeze coming off the lake. The course is in great shape also.” Some 23 seniors turned out to play a game under the low-net format and there was a threeway tie for first on the men’s side with Met Boyson, Ron Law and Dave Funk all scoring 38s on their cards. On the ladies side, Nancy Minato and Angie Wahnschaff had 36, and Peggie Chenier and Gisela Neuber had 37s.

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!

The Wildfire Management Branch (WWB) sent another 42 personnel to the Yukon to help with fire-suppression efforts. One unit crew from the Cariboo Fire Centre, one 12-person Incident Management Team and 10 other staff left on July 17. A total of 71 Wildfire Management Branch staff have now been deployed to the Yukon. The request for assistance was made through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which co-ordinates the mutual sharing of firefighting resourc-
es between British Columbia and other jurisdictions. The WWB always maintains adequate firefighting capacity to respond to current conditions in B.C. Deployed personnel can be recalled at any time. Costs associated with this deployment will be covered by the Yukon under the Mutual Aid Resource Sharing Agreement, which allows for the movement of firefighting resources throughout Canada.

Families welcome a new family and get them connected into the word-of-mouth network of community information through food. Community connecting across cultures Several special interest classes will be offered free of charge to all participants this fall and winter. Some of the registered spots will be reserved for people who have lived in Canada less than five years. The remainder will be open to anyone who wants to take the class. Examples of possible classes include canning, cooking, and photography. Community information Kimberly is working on streamlining community information. Efforts are being made to direct newcomer queries to the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, as it is a wealth of information for both visitors and new residents to our area. Translated copies of the South Cariboo Visitor Guide will be provided this year. A leisure guide is being developed in partnership with the South Cariboo Rec. Centre and the South Cariboo Community Planning Council. Community cultural competency education A Cu ltu r a l Competency SelfAssessment will be distributed in September with a follow-up World Café open to the community, business and service providers. An overall goal
Kimberly has in all of the WCP programs is to promote our community by highlighting all that we have to offer our residents and potential new families. Many of our strengths in the South Cariboo, the reasons we love to live here, are not always tangible, she says. “I want newcomers to our area to become included in community life quickly and completely and I want potential newcomers to see that there is more than meets the eye to the South Cariboo. There is a strong, supportive community here and hidden opportunities just waiting to be found.” Kimberly was born and raised in White Rock, and has a bachelor’s degree in therapeutic recreation and a certificate in writ-
ing and publishing. She has worked in long-term care with seniors and people with disabilities, as well as in a student support role at Douglas College. She moved 100 Mile
House with her family following a job opportunity for her husband. They wanted to live in a smaller community where they can one day own a home and raise their children.

However, club president Tom Bachynski says the turnout was about what he expected. “It started out with a bang, as there were people waiting here at four o’clock for us to show up, which is typical for this sort of thing.” He adds the committee chose to start at 4 p.m., so people who were coming off shift work or ending their work day could come down to the arena to sign up for one the many volunteer jobs before they went home for dinner. It meant they wouldn’t have to come back into town to sign the volunteer sheets. “Unfortunately, the weather is pretty good, so I think there is a lot of lawn mowing being done. “But that’s OK. We know there is a lot of interest in the team and this isn’t the best time of the year to garner volunteers because were not a priority in the front of their minds.” Bachynski says the club will be holding more sign-ups until they get as many volun-
teers as they need. “We know they’re out there and we know they want to volunteer. We just don’t who they are right now and we just want to identify who they are and then away we go.” Noting people are into vacation mode right now, the club president says he is confident folks will start thinking about junior hockey when the Wranglers’ Main Camp comes to 100 Mile House, Aug. 18-20.
“I think this is when people will see the hockey team is for real; the ice will be in, the jerseys will be in and the smell of hockey will be in the air. “Then the volunteers will start coming in, and we’ll get them coming in from now until then as well.” Volunteers – who are they? Don Fisher was one of the people who signed up as a volunteer on July 18.
In fact, he signed up for two jobs – to monitor the penalty box and work in the refreshment garden. “I just want to help out and do what I can.” Fisher has been a hockey referee for 12 years and says he is looking forward to seeing this brand of hockey coming to 100 Mile House. Fan turnout is going to be important for the club, he adds. “I think we need to have good turnouts at every game.”

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!

Don’t let electrical accidents happen in your backyard Summer is here, and as British Columbians migrate outdoors for the season, BC Hydro and Preventable are asking people to think carefully about potential electrical safety dangers that can happen in their own backyards. Preventable is a B.C.-based non-profit organization focused on reducing the number and severity of preventable injuries in the province. Preventable estimates 95 per cent of all injuries in B.C. are both predictable and preventable. The organization’s slogan “Have a word with yourself ” - encourages everyone to take a moment, have a word with themselves and consider their actions to avoid serious injuries. According to Statistics Canada, approximately 26 Canadians die each year from electric current. The BC Safety Authority reports one person in B.C. died from electrical shock last year. BC Hydro is reminding British Columbians to be safe outdoors by offering important electrical safety tips: • Keep ladders away from overhead power lines. Only use ladders on stable surfaces, and have someone hold the ladder to keep it stable when you use it. • Stay away from tree limbs growing up near power-lines. • Call BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 before digging in your yard. The members of BC One Call will send you a site plan showing the exact location of buried facilities, or a technician will visit your site and provide physical markings. • Keep electrical devices away from sources of water. • Only use an electrical lawn mower when the grass is dry. • Check overhead power lines for clearance from trees and poles. If you need to prune or remove a tree on your property near a power-line or a ground-level transformer box, call BC Hydro first at 1-800-224-9376. • Never approach a downed power line. Always consider a downed line energized and extremely dangerous. If you see one, stay back 10 metres (the length of a bus) and call BC Hydro immediately at 1.888.POWERON. To learn more about how to be safe around electricity visit www.bchydro.com/besafe.
