Trustees ousted from direct negotiations Teacher contract bargaining placed under administrator

Carole Rooney Free Press

The B.C. Liberal government has made a bold move in education bargaining toward its mandate to secure a 10-year agreement with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). Trustees will now have a diminished, indirect role in negotiations after the recent appointment of Michael Marchbank as public administrator for the B.C Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA). Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’ Association (CCTA) president Murray Helmer, who recently took over reins, says he believes the current negotiations were

undertaking this change as a method to advance its plans to restructure the kindergartenGrade 12 bargaining process and its mandate to secure a long-term deal with the BCTF when bargaining resumes in September, he notes. Fassbender adds the government will be working with the B.C. School Trustees Association (BCSTA) to “fully canvass school boards” on the reforms to BCPSEA’s role. However, Helmer says the trustees are the single elected group involved, who have now been “unilaterally removed” from the process. “I worry that, if government can do that in

negotiations, maybe they will just eliminate trustees from future elected positions and assume all running of school districts, perhaps.” A two-year contract extension and governmentimposed wage freeze for teachers expired at the end of June. Helmer says he would like to see all bargaining already underway come to some kind of a conclusion, hopefully with successful negotiations. “Then, if the whole process has to be changed, do that after the fact rather than in the middle of an ongoing negotiation process.” Continued on 3

Otters attack swimmer

Cloverdale visitor bitten repeatedly while trying to swim away Carole Rooney Free Press

A woman was injured when she was attacked by otters in Greeny Lake, in a rare, but not unheard of, incident of human-aquatic life conflict. Cloverdale resident Theresa Weltzin was visiting in-laws at their cabin when she went for a swim to cool off shortly before noon on Aug. 1, in what she thought were safe waters. To her shock and terror, partway across the lake she was attacked and bitten nine times by at least one otter and possibly two. “As I was about three quarter of the way across, about [80 metres from the far shore], I heard a splash. I looked around and about 20 metres behind me is this animal coming for me directly.” This worried her, so she stopped and watched as the otter then ducked under the surface just off to her right. The former lifeguard and water polo player began to do a backstroke that kept her head up, when the otter attacked. “I’m pedalling backward and doing egg-beaters with my legs and it’s biting me over and over again, and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs for my brother-in-law to help. It was pretty frightening.” She saw another otter at this time, but says she doesn’t know if it joined in the attack, as the lake’s water is murky. Her husband’s brother, Brian Weltzin, heard Theresa’s cries and headed out in a kayak, with his son following in a rowboat, reaching her about five minutes later. “As soon as they came, I grabbed on to the kayak and the biting stopped. But [Brian] said he had the paddle ready to hit the otter.” The animal then swam away toward the east end of the lake, and Theresa was pulled back to shore by hanging on to the kayak, and taken to the emergency room at 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of her numerous wounds. A Conservation Officer was notified and attended the hospital, where

she says he asked if she had seen see otter pups anywhere, and she told him “oh, God no.” Theresa notes she swam across Greeny Lake two days before that without incident, and never saw any signs of an otter den or any young either time. She adds it was a relief to get safely to shore, and once her wounds were attended to, she quickly returned home to see her family doctor. “He gave me three combinations of antibiotics, so the wounds are healing. I’m using lots of Polysporin. The ER doctor said they’re not going to suture anything closed ... in case there is an infection.” Theresa was also directed to Surrey Memorial Hospital for a potential rabies shot, where the BC Centre for Disease Control, biologists and others were consulted and determined that rabies infection was “so unlikely” she did not need the vaccine. Theresa says she counted nine bites. The biggest gouge is on her left calf on the outside, which is now about one centimetre across by twoand-a-half cm long. There is another cut on her left thigh; and on her right leg, she has another six bites. Theresa notes when her left finger was bitten as she tried to fend off the otter, she had checked to make sure she hadn’t lost part of it. The COs told her they contacted the Coast Guard, which relayed back it gets one or two otter attack reports each year, but they typically bite just once and swim away. The strong swimmer notes she would not want to have a child or another family member injured. However, Theresa says she is still reeling from the horror of her attack, with almost nightly flashbacks, so avoids dwelling about other, potentially worse outcomes. She’d prefer to see these otters destroyed, Theresa explains, so people on the lake aren’t afraid to swim there anymore. “When a dog bites and attacks a person, they usually call for it to be put down because it’s not a normal behaviour. And, it went after me.” See related story on page 6.

Helmer says he’ll know more on how the BCTF might respond to this latest intervention to the bargaining process once he meets with other union

representatives at a BCTF conference later this month in Kamloops. Meanwhile, school support staff in the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are due to resume contract negotiations this

TAX MEETINGS Public information meetings are happening this week and next, for voters to learn more about the South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SAR) referendum scheduled Sept. 7. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will provide details and field questions on the upcoming referendum, which will ask residents if they approve of the CRD providing annual funding of up to $30,000 to the local SAR society, to help support the services it provides. At the maximum tax rate, a residential taxpayer would expect to pay about $1.08 per $100,000 of assessed value for residential property. However in 2014, they would pay $0.84 per $100,000 of assessed value. The meeting for 100 Mile House voters is today (Aug. 14) in District council chambers, and for Area L is Aug. 15 at the Interlakes (Roe Lake) Community Hall. Area H residents meet Aug. 20 at the Forest Grove Community Hall, and Area G meets on Aug. 21 at the 108 Mile Community Hall. All of the meetings will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

month, after talks broke down last spring when CUPE determined BCPSEA had no mandate from government to reach a settlement. The education assistants, clerical staff, trades, custo-

dians, bus drivers and other school workers represented by CUPE have had no wage increase for more than four years, and virtually all of the 57 CUPE locals have achieved a strike mandate.

Arena seats briefly delayed for Wranglers hockey fans

CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS:

Concrete bleachers will be covered by old boards in interim

Carole Rooney Free Press

Hockey fans and 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club ticket holders who may have heard the new arena seats are delayed will be happy to know they won’t need to sit on the bare concrete. After the bleacher boards were recently pulled off at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, concerns arose when delivery of the new seats, which are being shipped from China, fell behind schedule. Canlan Ice Sports general manager Josh Dickerson says the boards are being reinstalled before the Wranglers Main Camp starts Aug. 18.

They will also be in place for a Junior A game on Aug. 28 and the Wranglers lone home exhibition game on Sept. 11. The seats will be installed as soon as they arrive and will be in place for the Wranglers’ home opener on Sept. 21, Dickerson says. “The benches will be back in until Sept. 16, and from then on we should have the seats.” The seats are a large investment for the Cariboo Regional District [CRD] to put into the arena, he explains, so they all wanted to make sure they were right, which delayed ordering.

be festival seating.” Dickerson says he is confident the seats will arrive by the new due date, as he has a firm commitment from the “reputable” supplier in Vancouver, which was not responsible for any previous delay. “It is just a matter of timing. They come from China, so it takes a bit of time to get them here.” On Aug. 9 the supplier reconfirmed the Sept. 16 delivery, but if they arrive before that, Dickerson adds its installers will be on site earlier. The Canlan manager notes the concrete was temporarily exposed because the benches needed to be prepped for the seats, and it took a week or two to do that, a timeline that wasn’t feasible in September. The reattached benches will be easily removable, he explains, but the wood will cover up the concrete until the seats arrive. “It is unfortunate that [the new seats] can’t be here before the exhibition games ... but I hope people can understand that once the seats are in, how nice they will be.”

Otter attacks rare in British Columbia

Conservation Officer Len Butler supervises the Williams Lake office, and was called to 100 Mile House on Aug. 1, shortly after a woman was attacked and bitten repeatedly by an otter in Greeny Lake. Butler says COs were notified around 1 p.m. that a woman swimming in Greeny Lake around 11:50 a.m. had been bitten by otters. “[100 Mile House CO Colin Kravontka] went to the hospital, interviewed the lady, who definitely had quite a few bites. It caught us off guard, no question about that.” Butler explains he then met Kravontka mid-afternoon at Greeny Lake to try to get a better view of what was going on with the otters. “We did not see the otters ... we didn’t find their den or anything like that.

When a woman was attacked and bitten nine times by an otter in Greeny Lake on Aug. 1, Conservation Officer/supervisor Len Butler of Williams Lake was called to 100 Mile House to assist local CO Colin Kravontka. The COs found no otters, but confirmed the attack through witnesses.

notes. While it is a highly unusual incident in British Columbia, Butler notes otter bites have been reported on

Vancouver Island. “I did make some calls ... it seems to be a territorial thing.” His “best guess” is the otters were protecting

driving enforcement changes that had RCMP in B.C. move away from federal Criminal Code charges and into Immediate Roadside Prohibitions instead. “If you believe that this law needs to change, this is your chance to make history and get involved. I can’t do it myself; I’ve planted the seed but it requires people all over the prov-

ince to get involved.” He encourages people to “shake off your fears” and embrace the “many good things that will happen” under the proposed law changes. “Sometimes people are afraid of the stigma – that their neighbours are going to judge them – or are afraid they might lose their job or be punished by their employer in some way. Those fears, for the most part, I do not

think are valid.” That’s partly because many Sensible BC volunteers are not marijuana users, Larsen says, but rather have friends or loved ones who use medical marijuana, or are ideologically in favour of changes to the law. “You don’t have to be a pot smoker to support this – just like you don’t have to be a woman to support women’s rights, or a person of colour to support racial equality.”

Butler says the COs asked the lake locals what they thought should be done. “None of them wanted the otters destroyed, to which we said fine.” The COs directed the regular lake users to swim with a spotter, and then spoke again to the injured woman, who indicated she was unsure what might have prompted the attack. “We’re glad to see that she was in good shape, and everyone seemed satisfied that this was a very one-off situation.” He notes eliminating otters is a different situation than dealing with predators like bears. “If you trap, will you get the right otters? There are a lot of problems with this.” The locals were very helpful to the investigating COs, he adds, especially Greeny Lake fire chief Ken Gisby, who enabled them to avoid launching their large boat. “He allowed us to use his boat, and we greatly appreciate his help.”

Forest Grove bush fire doused Mutual firefighting effort aids effective response

Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) was called out for a small brush fire along Archie Meadow Road near Stack Lake on Aug. 3 around 10:30 a.m., and with assistance from 100 Mile FireRescue (OMFR) and the Wildfire Management Branch (WMB), successfully battled a wildfire. FGVFD chief Bob Felker says the location was soon determined to be Crown land, so technically it was a WMB case.

Buying Your Dream Home

It is often said that buying a home is the most expensive purchase most people will ever make. Your dream home might cost $50,000 or it might cost several million dollars. Either way, acquiring that home involves signing a contract. For most people, the contract they sign when they buy a home will be prepared by a realtor. Most realtors do a good job of negotiating the purchase and preparing the contract - and, for the buyer, the services of the realtor are usually free.

It is not the realtor’s job, however, to dig into some of the legal issues which can arise in the purchase of land. Not all realtors will realize, for example, that the access road which you need to take to reach your dream home actually crosses over a neighbour’s property. Not a problem - if there is a registered right-of-way. If there is no registered right-of-way, however, then a neighbour who becomes unfriendly might block your access. What is the solution? Instead of waiting until it’s too late to back out of the deal, ask your realtor to include a clause in the contract which makes the contract subject to a review by your chosen legal professional. (In any event, you will need a lawyer or notary public to help you complete your purchase.) Then, review the contract with him or her before you remove the subject clause. In fact, you should ask the legal professional to do the same legal analysis immediately that he or she would normally do at a later stage before closing the deal. Be prepared to pay for that analysis. If the analysis reveals a problem, then you will have saved yourself a lot of grief - and spent no more money for legal advice then you would have spent to actually close the deal in the ﬁrst place. If the analysis reveals that there is no legal problem, then the cost of obtaining that analysis won’t even be an extra – it will normally be included in your usual legal closing costs.

When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Be a part of history

Increases government should support

ecently, Premier Christy Clark believed there was a good case for increasing salaries of some political staff. She changed her mind, based on the public’s reaction. But, there is a strong case to support pay increases for frontline workers in hardpressed agencies delivering community social services, many of whom are literally not earning a living wage. The government’s current approach to public sector wages is a “co-operative gains mandate.” Pay increases are acceptable, but only if the agency can come up with the funding with no decreases in service. Perhaps that is workable in large ministries. It is not for the community sector. The sector has been finding efficiencies for a decade, cutting services and costs to the bone. A large volunteer force helps us do more with the available funding.

There are simply no new efficiencies to be found to allow even modest staff salary increases. The community social services sector delivers a tremendous range of essential services across the province. The sector works with struggling youth, deals with substance abuse, helps seniors stay in their homes and families overcome Tim problems. Agg About 74 per cent of British Columbians have used the services we provide, according to a poll earlier this year. Community social services are delivered by agencies in every corner of the province – large and small, rural and urban, union and nonunion. They work under contracts with government and this funding is critical.

Budget freezes and cuts have taken a toll. Waiting lists have grown and people aren’t getting help when they need it. That means greater costs for all of us in the future, as their problems become more serious. Our skilled and educated employees face more and more demands and have received no pay increases for several years. Too many earn less than a living wage, calculated at $19.62 an hour for Vancouver, That’s not fair. And it is bad for those we serve. The sector attracts people with a real interest in helping others. But, at some point, our employees have to consider themselves and their families. We lose valued staff, programs are disrupted and clients are hurt.

GUEST SHOT

tarting Aug. 18, hockey season will officially get started in 100 Mile House. That’s when the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s three-day Main Camp gets underway to determine which players will start the club’s inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). This is such an exciting, and probably nervous, time for the Wranglers’ executive team. Club president and governor Tom Bachynski has been leading the off-ice arrangements for two years. He has suffered through the Wranglers first bid for a franchise in 100 Mile House being turned down, and enjoyed the jubilation of getting approval from the KIJHL board of governors just before Christmas last year. That marked the time when the dream a few local folks had about bringing Junior hockey to 100 Mile came to fruition. The Wranglers’ organization is being built from scratch – nothing came with the franchise, so they have to buy everything they need and the executive is learning as it goes along. They have general manager/head coach Doug Rogers who brings a lot of experience and connections to the table, but he, too, is starting from step 1 for the on-ice product. He will have a brand new group of hockey players who will have to get to know each other, the system and their new hometown. So, everyone has their work cut out to make this Junior B hockey club successful in not only the community, but also in the KIJHL. It will take a community to make the Wranglers a top-notch organization. We will all have to help in some way – large or small – to make sure the club not only survives in 100 Mile House, but also thrives. The Wranglers need sponsors and partners to help solidify the financial operations. However, folks attending the games and buying programs, souvenirs and 50/50 draws will also help with the finances. The club also needs a lot of volunteers for the dayto-day operations. See the story in the Aug. 16 Cariboo Connector to find out where we can be a part of history. And what will we get in return for this support? We’ll get some first-class very affordable family entertainment and a boost to our community pride. We’ll get a group of young men who will be out in the community volunteering their time where it is needed. Our minor hockey players will have someone to look up to, and strive to become Wranglers when they get older. Together, we can help the Wranglers build a franchise with a storied history, but we have to start today at step 1.

About 64,000 people work in the sector. We see their skill, experience and dedication every day. And we know the quality of services depends on fair compensation for those people who do the frontline work every day. If we lose them, people and communities will suffer. These are, of course, the time of tight government budgets. However, community social service agencies should not be forced to cut services to people who badly need them in order to pay for negotiated pay raises. Government funding should include a reasonable provision for employee compensation increases. It is simply the right, smart thing to do.

Editor: I am writing regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, headlined NDP soul search going nowhere, on page 9 of the July 31 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. A significant aspect of NDP post-election soul searching, following its catastrophic defeat by the forces of free enterprise, will no doubt have to be coming to terms with the need to move the party further to the centre – away from

Opinion

Socialism isn’t just a word

its ideological far left-wing base. While the federal NDP appears to have decided to delete references to “socialism” from its guiding party preamble to make it more palatable politically and competitive electorally, merely removing “socialism” as a founding principle, without jettisoning its politically outdated doctrine, will not convince Canadians the NDP is anything but a socialist party. Shakespeare perhaps said it best

Conservatives helping small business

To the editor: On page 9 of your July 3 edition, Liberal critic for small business Joyce Murray wrote a letter, headlined Hidden tax hikes hurt small business in Canada, claiming our government was hurting small businesses in Canada. I can assure you that exactly the opposite is true – no one has stood up for small businesses like the Conservatives. Our government has remained focused on helping Canada’s economy create jobs and economic growth. Central to that goal is supporting the lifeblood of Canada’s economy: small businesses and small business owners. Recognizing the importance of small business to the Canadian economy, we have focused on decreasing tax rates

www.100milefreepress.net

for small business and increasing the threshold of eligibility for small business tax rates from $300,000 to $500,000. Economic Action Plan 2013 lays out our government’s lowtax plan to help small business owners grow their company. We’ve renewed the Hiring Credit for Small Business, providing up to $1,000 in Employment Insurance relief for every new hire a small business owner makes, and our government’s Red Tape Reduction Action Plan has slashed unnecessary red tape. Our Conservative government is proud to stand up for small business owners and for Canada’s economy; we are keeping it our top priority. Cathy McLeod, MP Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

in Romeo and Juliet: “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Confronted with the political reality of the concept of socialism proving itself to be an abysmal failure throughout the world, being replaced by more free enterprise, less government and less social engineering, the question naturally arises as to whether British Columbia’s NDP party will be able to “jump over its own ideological shadow” and abandon its traditional stand on the

principles of democratic socialism, as defined in the B.C. provincial NDP constitutional preamble. It reads: “The New Democratic Party believes that social, economic and political progress in Canada can only be assured by the application of democratic socialist principles to government and the administration of public affairs ... including, where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.”

Stripped of its defining political raison d’être, however, NDP soul searching to remain a legitimate electoral contender in the province would make it a journey of heading somewhere into the future without the benefit of a road map and without a clear sense of its destination ... always carrying the baggage of its political past. E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen

Harper’s cone of silence

To the editor: Having trouble telling fact from fiction in the Senate expenses scandal? There’s a reason for that. Since the news broke that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s righthand man cut a $90,000 cheque to cover-up the potentially fraudulent expenses of Conservative Senator Mike Duffy – a potentially criminal action – Mr. Harper has consistently misled Canadians about what really happened. He claimed his Chief of Staff, Nigel Wright, acted alone and no one else knew. In fact, court documents reveal four members of Mr. Harper’s inner circle knew. He claimed there was no e-mail recording the terms of the deal. In fact, his office now admits there is one. He claimed his personal legal counsel was not involved. In fact, RCMP documents reveal that he

was involved. Mr. Harper claimed the first Senate expenses report reflected the auditors’ findings. In fact, we now know it was whitewashed to go easy on Duffy. And that’s just what is public. The Conservatives have been accused of stonewalling the RCMP investigation into the whole tawdry affair.

Instead of giving us the straight goods, Mr. Harper has clamped down and put on a cone of silence. Canadians expect better; they expect honest answers to serious questions about the potentially criminal behaviour at the heart of their government. Marc Garneau, MP Liberal Party of Canada

Debt-free BC laughable To the editor: In my May 29 letter to the 100 Mile House Free Press, I wrote the B.C. Liberals have grown the provincial debt to more than $50 billion in 2012, from $33.8 billion in 2001. The debt is expected to approach $70 billion by 2015-16. A major part of the B.C. Liberal government’s recent election cam-

paign was “Debt-Free BC.” Sure thing, get rid of the debt by making it a lot bigger. They are hoping profits from LNG exports will dump piles of money on us, so we can pay off our debts. Yes, and I’m hoping to win the lottery.

he B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with British Columbia’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations.

the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up – aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

QUESNEL - A 31-year-old male has been taken into police custody after a police incident which caused the evacuation of eleven homes in the surrounding area and a partial road closure. The police incident began shortly after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6 when RCMP were called to the Poplar Avenue residence for a disturbance. Due to safety concerns which presented themselves during the investigation, the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team was deployed. After successful negotiation with police, the male suspect exited the residence and surrendered at approximately 1:30 p.m. He was arrested and taken into police custody without further incident. Police are recommending charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

C apsule C omments We’ve been hearing for years that a needle-free injection device will soon be on the market. Well, the scientists at MIT have developed one which delivers a microscopically thin stream of medicine under high pressure through the skin and into the tissue. It is still being tested but hopefully available in a year or two. There appears to be a link between the amount of sugar we consume and our blood pressure. One easy way of cutting sugar consumption is to reduce the number of sugar-drinks you consume daily. Even reducing by one can help. Reducing our daily calorie intake can produce a multitude of health benefits. Start today. It’s always interesting to read about how health affected some famous people. Beethoven, for example, used fewer higher notes in his later compositions as his deafness increased. Analyses of his string quartets found he used fewer notes above G in his later quartets because he couldn’t hear them. In England, more and more people are successfully quitting smoking. The National Health Services Stop Smoking program in 201112 reported that 800,000 people set a quit date with 49% being successful which is a 5% increase in success from 2010-11 and a whopping 235% increase over 2001-02. It can be done. Pharmacists can help smokers quit with smoking cessation programs. We’d love to talk to you about what’s available to help you with your decision to stop. You and your family won’t regret it.

100 Mile House RCMP busy with a speeder, pot bust and a water rescue

Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 85 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Excessive speed During the past week, there was one reported incident of excessive speed. The driver was operating his vehicle at 53 km/h over the posted speed limit. He was issued a violations ticket for excessive speed and his vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days. Pot bust On Aug. 9, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a domestic disturbance on the 90 Mile Loop Road south

of 100 Mile House. Upon attending, it was determined that no assault had occurred; however, there was an extensive commercial marijuana grow-op on the property. There was a medicinal marijuana permit for the property, but the plant allowance was being exceeded by approximately 1,800 plants. Three occupants of the property were arrested and removed from the property, while a search warrant was obtained The warrant was executed later in the day. Some 1,821 marijuana plants, as well as marijuana production equipment were seized from the property. The three occupants were released on a promise to appear for court in 100 Mile House on Dec. 3 for marijuana

production and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. The investigation into this matter is continuing. Drunken wading Shortly before 8 p.m. on Aug. 7, rescue services and 100 Mile RCMP were called to

a possible intoxicated person being in the middle of Bridge Creek just below the campsite in 100 Mile House. A male youth could be seen clinging to a rock in approximately waist deep water. A police officer wearing a personal flotation device waded into the

creek to retrieve the male. The male was incapable of wading under his own power and was escorted out of the water after being put into a personal flotation device. Once on shore, the male was assessed by ambulance attendants and was determined to be medically stable and did not require hospitalization. As he was intoxicated, he was arrested and held in custody until sober and released without charges the following morning.

It’s been a busy week for firefighting crews in the area as multiple fire halls responded to two callouts at the Ainsworth Engineered OSB plant in 100 Mile House, the latest Monday (Aug. 12) afternoon. Over a dozen firefighters from 100 Mile House FireRescue and 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department were on scene for close to two-and-a-half hours helping to extinguish

the blaze, which was located in a dryer bin. “We were quite surprised to get a fire there yesterday,” says Darrell Blades, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue fire chief. “We don’t usually get

fires back-to-back there.” Blades adds the fire was “isolated.” No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. “We’re looking at the

out and causing the fire, but we’re not there yet.” At 8:20 a.m. on Aug. 11, close to a dozen firefighters from 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded to a callout at the OSB plant. Blades says that blaze was “one of the bigger ones” they’ve seen at the OSB plant in recent years. “It was a pretty significant fire. We were on scene for about five hours and we dealt with different areas where we have to go in and get rid of embers and sparks and smouldering sites, so when they fire back up again another fire doesn’t start.” Twenty-seven firefighters were on scene, including members of the Lone Butte Fire

Department, 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department and Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department. No one was injured and the plant was operational on Monday (Aug. 12). The suppression system at the OSB plant works really well, Blades says, adding it contained the fire to different areas. “We basically go in and put out the stuff that the

deluge system doesn’t. So far [a fire] hasn’t grown to where it’s overtaken their system.” On Monday, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue was still working with mill staff to determine the cause of the fire, which moved through multiple portions of the drying area of the plant. “It appears there was a plug in one of the overhead pipe ... that lit up and the fire went through the area.” Traditional

Fire Centre kept busy with weekend wildfires Cariboo Boilers

Ken Alexander Free Press

The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) was hopping during the weekend with 25 new wildfires sparked by lightning storms on Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 10-11). There was also one person-caused wildfire. Wildfire Management Branch (WMB) crews, air tankers, helicopters and heavy equipment were all used to fight the fires. The number of phone reports received from the public allowed the CFC to respond to these fires quickly and efficiently. There are currently 28 active wildfires in the CFC, including: • A 1,200-hectare fire in Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park, northeast of Anahim Lake; • A 12-ha fire in the West/East Twin creeks drainage, southwest of 70 Mile House; and • An 11-ha fire near Till Lake, west of Williams Lake. There were two new wildfire starts in the 100 Mile House Zone on Saturday and two more on Sunday. The one in the West/East Twin creeks drainage southwest of 70 Mile House started on Saturday. It grew by approximately one hectare on Sunday and was estimated to be 12 hectares in size. The growth was due to aggressive fire behaviour and flare-ups on the northwest flank

because of shifting, gusty winds. A cat guard was established around 50 per cent of the fire perimeter on Sunday, and by 2 p.m. on Monday (Aug. 12), the cat guard completely surrounded the wildfire. By 6 p.m., the fire was re-estimated to be eight ha in size. CFC information officer Greig Bethel says it appears the action is moving toward the mop-up stage. The three other fires in the 100 Mile House Zone were all less than one ha in size. They are located near Lone Butte, Big Timothy Mountain and Vidette Lake (approximate geographic locations). All four wildfires are still being fought by WMB personnel and equipment.

Campfire ban extended At noon on Aug. 9, the CFC extended its campfire ban to the north-western portion of the region. This ban applies to open fires of any size, campfires, industrial or

backyard burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. The campfire ban will be in effect for all areas west of Highway 97 from the C ottonwo o d River north of Quesnel to 150 Mile House, including the Kluskus, Nazko, Chilcotin, McLeese Lake and Williams Lake regions, as well as the Chilcotin, 100 Mile House and Interlakes regions. The campfire ban boundary, starting from the west at Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, follows the Cariboo and Prince George fire centres boundary east to Highway 97, south to 150 Mile House, east again along the Redeaux Lake FSR (2300 Road), and then follows the Central Cariboo-100 Mile House forest districts boundary to Wells Gray Provincial Park. The current fire danger rating in the CFC is high with areas of extreme. Both the campfire ban and open burning prohibition

Many congratulations to Deka Ladies Auxiliary member Laurie Hill, of Higgins Lake, who became Mrs. Gary Sayenchuk on July 27. “It was a beautiful day, which was great because it had rained on either side of the big day,” she says The ceremony, held at the couple’s lakefront home, was officiated by Marriage Commissioner April Roberts before guests danced the night away to great music provided by Richard Boyer. Of the 95 guests, Laurie’s best friend, Corey Campbell of Richmond, was Matron of Honour; and Gary’s best friend, Jay O’Shea of Squamish, stood as Best Man.

In mid-July, a calf was hit by a vehicle on Mahood Lake Road. The loss of just one calf has a major impact on our ranchers’ incomes, so drivers must be wide awake and cautious. It is expected that one of those huge “cattle” signs will be erected on Mahood Lake Road, albeit residents shouldn’t need one.

Slow down Residents are again reminded to slow down and watch for cattle, especially in the Mahood Lake Road Corridor and on Horse Lake Road.

Guiding light stimulates creativity, confidence Carole Rooney Free Press

Artists inspiring artists is what an art community is all about, and the South Cariboo is no shrinking violet when it comes to cultivating creativity. Local artist and art instructor Cheryl Gauthier has been encouraging local artists to grow their talents for more than a decade. This includes Juanita Corbett, who began painting in 2004 after signing up for one of Gauthier’s watercolour workshops. “She was great at helping us to gain confidence in what we were doing,” says Corbett. “That was the first time I had ever drawn or painted anything.” Corbett has been painting ever since, using the mediums of watercolour, acrylic and, most recently, pastels. “I also do a lot of ink sketches. The thing I most appreciate about drawing and painting is that your

and Cariboo scenes. Photography plays a big part in her painting as Corbett totes her camera wherever she goes and then uses her pictures to recreate the images in her artwork. The Parkside Art Gallery theme this summer is “flight,” so some of her latest work in acrylics involves doves and heavenly images. Her painting Final Flight depicts some of her family members with Jesus in the clouds, and can be seen this month in a collection of her work at the Showcase Gallery. Another of her recent paintings, On the Wings of a Snow White Dove, is now on display at Parkside Art Gallery. Gauthier’s work is being featured at Showcase this month and she also portrays many country landscapes in her painting. She began painting at age 10 when her mother signed her up for an art class. “I have never stopped from there. I’ve been self-taught, other than classes here and there. I’ve

Fishing derbies a huge success, family fun

By Diana Forster The weather was perfect for Mahood Lake Road’s August long weekend fishing derbies. Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department’s Aug. 3-4 fishing derby saw 464 tickets sold, 10 per cent more than 2012, and a total of 160 fish weighed in, compared

to last year’s 97. Fish prizes were awarded to six places this year, in addition to three prizes for children, and countless door prizes. Of the 19 rainbow caught, Terry Dennis’ was the largest at 3 1bs. 2 oz. Then came: Marissa Ramsey and Frank Hildebrandt, both 2 1bs. 7.oz.; 10

year old Shaylee Nickel of Maple Ridge, and Drew Chapman, both 1 lb. 7 oz.; and Dean Foucher at 1 lb. 5 oz. Although Marisaa was only allowed one fish prize, she also caught a winning kokanee. Kokanee numbered 66 and the win went to Terry Dennis’ 3 lbs. 2 oz. fish. The other prize-winners were:

Logan Ramsey, 3 lbs.; Al Belhumeur and Cole Cooke, both at 2 lbs. 9 oz.; Devon Lyons, 2 lbs. 6 oz.; and William Ramsey and Norm Pickering, both at 2 lbs. 5 oz. Bob Grotke won for largest of 75 lake trout, with his 15 lbs. 2 oz. specimen. Behind him came: Shane Parks, 8 lbs. 4 oz.; Larry Parks, 5 lbs. 7 oz.; Roy Grinder, 4 lbs. 5 oz.; and Dave Sowles and Roseanne Bird, both at 3 1bs. 6 oz. Winner of “youngest fisherperson present” was Lee Simkins’ new baby boy, 10-day-old Hudson. Ron Law won for

being “the oldest fisherperson present.” Seven-year old Travis Reynolds won the prize for smallest fish caught. Among many great draw prizes, a float tube, donated by Wildman’s Outdoor Living Store, went home with John Mitchell. Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ Association members did a booming business with close to 200 breakfasts served each day, and 232 suppers on the Sunday. They are most appreciative of those who came forward to help. Over at Sulphurous L ake Distric t Volunteer Firefighters’

LAC DES ROCHES Sharron Woloshyn 250-593-0041

sharronw@bcwireless.com

Dips, curves and unparalleled scenery found along the Fishing Highway 24 makes this road a very popular route for recreational travel. The high volume of summer traffic passing by Lac des Roches consists of transport trucks, slow-moving RV caravans and lone motorcycle rockets. During the tourist season, it seems very few travellers are aware of the hazards associated with interchanges and pullouts common within highway communities. The variable speeds of vehicles slowing to turn off the highway or accelerating after entering the highway are not always recognized by drivers who may be preoccupied taking in a glimpse of the lake. Even the most experienced drivers recount tales of close-calls experienced within a few kilometres of their home. All of our front streets have a “blind” corner from at least one direction of Highway 24. Visitors to the lake, unfamiliar with the hazards in the area, may not be prepared for the common, poor driving habits that residents have come to expect. These include speeding, drifting over the centreline, passing on a double solid yellow line, inappropriate signalling and swerving to avoid small wildlife. Residents are reminded to caution their visitors about the dangers of entering and exiting the highway and to drive as

defensively as possible, expecting the inevitable errors made by the other drivers. Unwanted weeds Thistles are showing their purple blooms among the maturing weeds and grasses. Spraying and pulling these invasive plants are the two effective ways to rid the fields of these annoying weeds. Residents are reminded there are several other invasive weeds, such as Oxeye Daisy, Burdock, Mullein, Orange Hawkweed and Goat’s Beard, which are growing throughout the area and are targets of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Invasive Plant Committee (CCCIPC). Pineapple weed and plantain grow in most of the lawns and driveways. Plantain is often used as a home remedy for skin irritations

and relief from insect bites but can still choke out natural grasses from a pasture and is, therefore, considered invasive. Bears and berries It is berry season at Lac des Roches. Residents don’t have to travel further than their own neighbourhood to enjoy some rewarding finds of Saskatoon berries and thimbleberries (or salmon berries). A little further into the forest will reveal blueberries, huckleberries and cranberries. All of these edible delights will attract black bears, a recurring problem last year. Caution should be exercised during any berry picking excursion close to or far from home. Nitty gritty Thank you to Interior

Roads personnel who responded quickly to residents’ complaints about dusty road conditions on the Cariboo Regional District’s portion of the community. Dust suppression chemicals applied in July have made a huge difference in the enjoyment of our public roads by pedestrians and cyclists.

Wonderful wildlife Buck, doe and fawn sightings have been reported. No bear or moose encounters have been reported in the past few weeks. A family of five otters was swimming near the south shore. After months of “crazy busy” bird feeders, the early migration of hummingbirds is imminent. Large numbers of recreational boaters may have displaced some of the waterfowl, but the families seem to be getting comfortable again. Many baby birds are just coming out of the nest and may be seen in awkward places. Residents are reminded to leave all baby critters where they are found to allow the parents to care for them. For fending off those annoying black flies that have plagued the area for a few weeks, keep moving or apply bug repellent that contains Deet.

Donations needed for Watch Lake Community Hall waste management WAtCH LAKE NORtH GREEN LAKE NEWS T he Watch Lake Community Hall Operating Committee signed a Waste Management Agreement for one year. This contractor

advised the committee to mow the grass/weeds over the septic field and fence the field as soon as possible. The committee is hoping someone in the community has some snow fencing that could be donated for a year or so until funding can be arranged to purchase fencing. If anyone has a garden tractor that could

be used to mow the grounds on occasion, that would be a huge help. Mark Bulman is the contact and he can be reached at 250-4562151. Happy anniversary Laurie and Carol Miclash, of 6294 Green Lake Rd. N, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Aug. 3.

Many homeowners are in denial that they need new windows. During the cold winter months, the drafts coming from your windows are a constant reminder that they need to be replaced. But, during the warm summer months, replacing your windows falls further down the to-do list. How do you know that it is time for new windows? There are three factors to consider when determining if you windows need to be replaced- energy efficiency, maintenance and ease of use. However, getting new replacement windows is a project that has year round benefits and savings. Energy Efficiency The first test of your windows is the comfort level of your home. Does your house maintain an even temperature during the winter and/or summer months? Are some rooms cold and drafty while others are cooler? Do your windows whistle on a windy day? All of these are indicators that your home’s windows need to be replaced. Do a visual inspection of your windows. Is there cracked wood and peeling paint? This is a sign that moisture is gathering on the outside of the window and rotting your window frames. While it’s hard to be able to determine how rotted the window frame is, using a flat head screwdriver to dig into the frame will allow you to see how soft the wood is. The softer the wood, the more moisture is getting in and rotting it. Hot & Cold Test. Temperature fluctuation also takes a toll on your windows. One way to see if your windows are working properly is to test when the house and outside are at two extremes. You can do this in the winter when the heat in your home is on. This makes you home significantly warmer inside than outside. Same is true for the summer months. When you have an air conditioned home, the home is a lot cooler inside than outside. The more extreme the temperature difference, the better. If your windows have frost, ice between the panes or cool air pockets, then your windows are not sealing properly. Caulking can provide some benefits to newer windows but once the seal is broken, the window is not properly insulating your home. Maintenance Are you windows difficult to maintain? Many homeowners

complain that the wood windows require too much upkeepscraping and sanding off old paint and repainting, replacing hardware, etc. Also, consider many homeowners have 20+ windows in their home, so this task ends up requiring a lot of time and energy. This is why many homeowners opt to get a vinyl window, which needs little to no maintenance. Ease of Use Besides keeping your home protected from the weather and elements, your window has basic functions that it should be able to perform. Your window should: easily open and close, stay open or stay closed without having to be jury-rigged, form a tight seal when locked. If your windows do not meet these criteria, then you need to replace your windows. While many homeowners put off upgrading their windows because of cost or lack of time, they end up being pleasantly surprised at the difference upgrading to energy efficient replacement windows can make. Energy efficient replacement windows are an upgrade that has year round benefits. You will feel the difference in the comfort level of your home - and your wallet.

Vandalism, injured horses A horse that lives on the property between the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship Church and the 108 Community Hall was a target of abuse by vandals recently. Someone threw large rocks at the horse, and as a result, the animal sustained injuries to its back. It also appears that some of the fence and the top barbed wire were cut and some of the concrete wall suffered paint graffiti. If anyone has any information on this event please report it to the RCMP at 250395-2456 or the CCLF church office at 250791-5532. Lake trails The 108 Greenbelt Commission has just

There is a new dining experience available at the 108 Mile Ranch. The Hanger Restaurant located between the South Cariboo Regional Airport and the mailboxes, and offers a great view of the airport and runway while folks have their meals. Folks may remember this building was the sales office for the Block Bros. staff who were selling lots for the 108 Mile Ranch. It had 24 phone lines for the sales staff and the phone line installer still lives in the 108. Later, the building was used for Gunner Cycles, a cross-country skiing office, a grocery store operated by Eamon McArdle, and a fitness centre. Then it sat empty for several years.

sign could be installed at the Sepa Lake parking lot, as this location appears to be the busiest area on the trail. 108 road concerns 108 residents are still concerned about the lack of traffic lines on our roads. Some near misses have been reported because of traffic being

on the wrong side of the road. Highway 97 has received more traffic lines, where are ours? Maybe the lines might be done by the end of the summer but then it’s winter season again and the lines will disappear. We are stuck in a cycle of disappearing road lines in the 108 Mile Ranch.

Rodeo attracts great crowds

Cariboo Cowgirl Drill Team member involved in spectacular spill Ken Alexander Free Press

Rodeo chair Jim Zailo says the 23rd Annual Interlakes BCRA Rodeo on Aug. 3-4 was a huge success with a lot of entries, big crowds and great weather. Noting the number of spectators was up by about 200 during the two-day event, he says between 1,400 and 1,500 fans packed the Interlakes Rodeo Grounds that weekend. Zailo adds there is a tremendous amount of work to put the rodeo together, as he and wife, Wendy Chase, starting contacting the “great’ sponsors in January and talking to all of the volunteers (around 75) during the winter as they prepare the annual event. He notes the volunteers do a great job and most of them have been doing it for many years, “so they know what has to be done and they do what they do very well.” Zailo says British Columbia Rodeo Association representative Patti Gerhardi told him the Interlakes is well run. “She says our rodeo ‘runs as smooth as silk and it’s one of the best events we deal with’.

So we feel good we’re establishing a good rapport [with BCRA] ... and that they feel we’re doing a pretty good job, and we let our volunteers know that....” Another sign of success is there were 200 competitor entries, which is up, according to Gerhardi. On the other side of the coin, however, the paramedics were busy this weekend. While the Cariboo Cowgirls Drill Team from Williams Lake made its entrance during the opening ceremonies at the rodeo, Brandy Young’s horse tripped, fell over on its side and trapped the cowgirl under it. It took a couple of minutes to get the horse up and off of Young, despite arena staff working desperately to get the horse up on its feet. Zailo says it was fortunate there was a 100 Mile House doctor, who attended the rodeo, present, he and a number of paramedics and fire department first responders looked after Young. She was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance and then transferred to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams

100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club general manager/ head coach Doug Rogers has been working hard to put the best lineup he can on ice for the team’s inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).

go a couple of years without any injuries requiring paramedics, Zailo says then they will get a bunch of them in one year, as was the case at this rodeo. He adds a fan, who had a hip replacement,

went down in the stands at the same time as a young competitor fell off his horse. Both were transported to 100 Mile House in the same ambulance. Steve Hohmann was the Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty all-around

Heat), defenceman Jaiden Ward (Creston Valley Thundercats) and forward Brady Ward (Thundercats). The club has also been able to sign some players who have played in the league as Affiliated Players with other KIJHL teams. They include forward Matt Barzilay (Kimberley Dynamiters), forward Connor Sloan (Penticton Lakers/ Kelowna Chiefs), forward Riley Harder (Princeton Posse), and forward Cole Zimmerman (Chase Heat).

With the Wranglers Main Camp right around the corner (Aug. 18-20), Rogers says the coaching staff will be looking to fill the lineup with players who complement the roster currently in place. However, he notes the players who make the squad at the end of Main Camp and the exhibition games won’t necessarily be the boys who finish the inaugural season. “Our roster will continue to evolve with player signings and player releases until Jan. 10, 2014 when our

roster will be finalized.” The Wranglers have one goalie signed, Riley Woodland from Kamloops who played for the Kamloops Midget Tier 1 Blazers last year. Rogers says they would like to identify two other goaltenders in camp to compete during the preseason for both the starting job and the backup position. On the blue line, he notes they need to continue to add some experience and some size. Continued on 39

Dykstra locks up a bronze medal

Gaven Crites Free Press

“I never really give up.... I try my best and try to succeed with what I have.” That’s the attitude Tiana Dykstra credits for her success among Canada’s best young wrestlers. The 15-year-old from 100 Mile House captured a bronze medal in the up to 43-kilogram division recently at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Although she’s no stranger to earning hardware at the national and provincial levels – capturing multiple silver medals – Dykstra cherished her experience at this month’s Games. Dykstra says she felt really excited and happy after beating out Alberta’s Jennifer Dang on Aug. 8 and winning bronze. “ The Canada Summer Games was so

The story, headlined Join the fun at ATV Jamboree, on page A15 of the Aug. 7 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press had some incorrect information. The costs of camping at the Aug. 19-26 ATV Jamboree at the Interlake Rodeo Grounds is $15/ night, with bag lunches at $5.50, and the Windy Mountain restaurant stop is at the end of the ride and it’s not a lunch.

Wranglers Main Camp set to go at South Cariboo Rec. Centre

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club Main Camp will be held at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House on Aug. 18-20. Up to 90 players will attend the Main Camp in hopes of making the Wranglers lineup for the team’s inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). Players are not only from all over British Columbia, but they are also from as far away as the Yukon, Alberta and the United States. At least a dozen 100 Mile House players will

be vying for a spot on the roster. The Main Camp schedule is as follows: Aug. 18 3-4:30 p.m. - Team Gold versus Team Red 4:45-6:15 p.m. - Team Black vs. Team Green 6:30-8 p.m. - Team Blue vs. Team White Aug. 19 8-9:30 a.m. - Team White vs. Team Gold 9:45-11:15 a.m. - Team Green vs. Team Blue 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Team Black vs. Team Red 2:30-4 p.m. - Team Gold vs. Team Blue 4:15-5:45 p.m. - Team White vs. Team Black

6-7:30 p.m. - Team Red vs. Team Green August 20 8:00-9:30 a.m. - Team Black vs. Team Gold 9:45-11:15 a.m. - Team Blue vs. Team Red 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Team Green vs. Team White Aug. 20 Main Camp culminates with the Blue & White game, which will feature the top 30 skaters and four goalies from the Main Camp. They will be vying for the 23 spots available on the Wranglers roster as it enters the KIJHL preseason. To add some extra

interest to the Blue & White game, club vicepresident Greg Aiken will be on the bench for Team Aiken against club president and governor Tom Bachynski who will be on the bench for Team Bachynski. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the puck drops at 7. Admission to the Blue & White game is $2 and a donation of a non-perishable food item for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society. Children five years and under are free. The Rec. Centre concession will be operating during that time. Come on out and be a part of history.

“Although we have traded for Cline and J. Ward, and signed some solid young defencemen, we will continue to try to upgrade our back end throughout camp and the pre-season.” The head coach says there are some very good defencemen coming to camp to make an impression, including some with previous league experience and others with Senior hockey experience. Offensively, the coaches will be looking to add some scoring punch to the lineup. “We will continue to work at identifying a solid top line, whether it comes from within our existing roster, in camp or through a potential trade.”

Rogers adds they have some older forwards coming to camp, including 20-year-old Tyler Wagner, who played last season with the Penticton Lakers. “We also have some good young forwards attending who will likely push us into making some difficult decisions.” The general manager/head coach explains there are many spots to be won during Main Camp at every position, and the coaches fully expect the prospects will be very competitive.

“With between 80 and 90 players expected in camp, the players wanting to make the team will have four ice times, prior to the Blue/White game, to show it.” Main camp starts at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House on Aug. 18 at 3 p.m. and runs through to Aug. 20. The entire camp is open to the public. The Wranglers Blue & White game takes place on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. Admission for the Blue & White game is $2 and a non-perishable

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!

Obituaries BOYCE

Kristin Lilianne Marie October 9, 1983 - August 6, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kristin Lilianne Marie Boyce. Kristin is survived by her husband Melvin Christopher and two beautiful children, Dixie Lane Mocassin Boyce and Darius Marcus Boyce Christopher. Kristin will be sadly missed by her great-great-grandmother Lizette Donald of Simcw (North Thompson First Nation), her mother Brenda Boyce, her sister Destiny Porter and brothers Francis and Jimmy Porter. Kristen is predeceased by her father Charles Grinder of Big Bar. Kristin will be remembered for being a loving mother, wife, sister, daughter and good friend. Kristen shared her love of singing and drumming and the traditional knowledge she gained from her greatgreat-grandmother Lizette, Brenda and the many traditional leaders and teachers she met in her years on the powwow trail and at Sundances. The family and communities took great pride in Kristin’s beautiful singing voice and traditional knowledge, and cultural teachings. The community is grateful for Lizette Donald for sharing the children that she raised over many years and thank her for allowing us to be part of Kristin’s life. The Porter, Boyce, Donald, Christopher, and Archie families would like to thank everyone who has shared Kristin’s life and travelled great distances to participate in Kristin’s Celebration of Life on Aug. 13, 2013 at the Canim Lake Band Gymnasium.

The participants range in age from the mid-twenties all the way to 72, and include at least one woman rider. “The ride is open to both military and civilian people and all riders and types of bikes are welcome,” explains French. “It is about the ride and most important the children whom we ride
