FALL PHOTO SHOOT
High number of aggressive deer complaints in Cariboo-Chilcotin Gaven Crites Free Press
Before stepping off the bus on a recent visit to 108 Mile Ranch, Emmett Collens spotted four deer outside and made a comment the driver thought was funny. “I hope I don’t get attacked by a deer.” On the way to his grandparents’ home on Chintu Drive on Oct. 8, Collens says he walked up to a fawn on the side of the road and pulled out his iPhone to take a photo when he heard “clack-clack-clack” on the road behind him. “I turned around and there was this doe staring me down,” explains the 15-yearold from Horse Lake. “It had its ears all the way back, its hair was all standing up. I thought, ‘This isn’t good’. I started to back away and it took a couple steps, jumped up on its hind legs and
hit me on the chest with its two feet and knocked me down. “It started hitting me in the face with its feet.” Collens estimates the attack, which bloodied his nose and left some deep bruising and scratches on his face, lasted between 12 and 15 seconds. “It hit me a couple times pretty good on the chin. It scraped my face up with its hooves because it was kind of just like stomping all wild.” When the animal finally stopped, Collens stood up and headed for his grandparents’ home nearby. After a few steps he turned and was surprised to find the same animal trailing him about 10 yards back. He says even after he entered the home, the doe stuck around. Continued on A4

ATV legislation work ongoing
Carole Rooney Free Press
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she is continuing to work toward the “very important” development of an off-road vehicle (ORV) act. Barnett is a member of government’s ORV management framework committee working with stakeholders. She says the potential legislation has been in the works for years, but the working groups must first develop the act before it can be

tabled in Victoria. “The [ORV] legislation is still at the committee stage, working with the stakeholders trying to put the act together that is going to be in the best interest of all of our many, many clubs and organizations that have asked for this for years.” The committee is working hard to resolve
“complex” issues and legalities, which, she notes, has contributed to the time delay. The act will enhance safety by mandating helmet use on ORVs, setting standards for ORV drivers under age 16, and other potential new regulations, Barnett explains. “I think helmets are common sense.” She disputes allegations the included requirement for ATV registration is nothing more than a tax grab, which Barnett says snowmobilers have had available for years.

Farmers’ market a boon to community Good support shown for new downtown location Carole Rooney Free Press
South Cariboo Farmers’ Market Society board representatives Karen Greenwood and Tina Johnson recently gave a presentation to District of 100 Mile House council on the results of the first season at its downtown location. Greenwood said they told council that, overall, they were “quite pleased” with the new locale. “The vendors were generally very happy. We also had this new market coupon program this year, and it really boosted attendance.” There seemed to be even more seniors than usual frequenting the market, she added. “A lot of people just found it easier to get to downtown. We had a lot more customers supporting more growers.” Many vendors had to drop out before the end of the season as they ran out of produce and products, Greenwood noted. The booth of her own farming group, Community Enhancement for Economic Diversification Society (C.E.E.D.S.), saw increased sales this season and sold out most days, she said. “So, the demand is really there, more than ever.” The Circle H Ranch booth grilling fresh, local beef hamburgers was “a big hit,” Greenwood explained, and along with Family Farm Natural Meats serving homemade borscht soup, it really boosted overall lunch hour sales. She said one nearby business noted increased business on market days, and another expressed inter-

est in being more involved. The board, therefore, asked council to consider extending the market – which runs about halfway along Third Street – all the way down to Cedar Avenue. Councillor Dave Mingo
said it was “definitely a good summer” and “great” to have the market on Birch Avenue. “Everyone I talked to was happy it was there. From the vendors, the shoppers and the area merchants. The negative comments were very minor, but there
were so many positive comments.” He added the idea for extending the market’s street use must be further examined by council and staff for aspects, such as emergency services access, before any decision will be made.
“It made our town very warm and welcoming having the farmers’ market downtown, and it really improved upon our community.” Greenwood said various customers also indicated they preferred the central Birch Avenue location to the previous spot on Highway 97. “It just seemed more fun to have it downtown. There was a nicer feeling about it and there were several people who commented that it felt like a safer environment for kids, rather than being closer to the highway.” Market management was approached by other groups to consider partnering on events next year, she added. The community hall’s management expressed satisfaction with the arrangement, Greenwood said, and its brick walkways and rented washrooms worked well for both market-goers and vendors. Now, she explained the board is “seriously considering” holding a short-term winter market in the hall. In his comments about the presentation, Mayor Mitch Campsall said it was “a good news story.” Greenwood added the board much appreciates the regular publicity provided by the 100 Mile House Free Press and Wolf Radio, as well as the beautification efforts council made out front of the 100 Mile Community Hall, and its support in approving the new location. “We were very happy with how everybody co-operated to make it happen.” For information on participating in the markets, call Tina Johnson at 250397-2547.
Caregiver cares about family supports
Local resident Donna Brown is speaking out to let others in the community know about potential funding for the disabled. There is a program available, she says, that allows eligible disabled people to stay in their own home or the home of a preferred caregiver, rather than in a care home or other institution. She was prompted to action after an 85-yearold was fatally assaulted in August in an extended care facility in Vernon, allegedly by his 85-yearold roommate.
“After hearing of the needless death in a long-term care facility, I am hoping [this] will inform those concerned about their disabled family member or friend of another avenue of care.” Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) is a provincial program that provides an alternative for eligible home-support clients. Brown participated in the program in the care of her late husband, who was disabled and, she explains, that through him, it paid her to look
after him at home. The first step, Brown notes, is to call the local Home and Community Care office at 250-3957676 and request an assessment of the disabled individual by a local case manager. Along with a family member or friend, she says the case manager will then determine the amount of care needed each day by the disabled person. Continued on A6

FAST bytes SEARCH ASSISTS South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SCSAR) was busy providing assistance recently. Its swift-water rescue team was deployed to help successfully rescue two canoeists stranded overnight on an island after capsizing in the Chilcotin River near Hanceville. They were unharmed and taken out by private helicopter on Oct. 15. SCSAR has also assisted in the search for missing Vavenby resident Laverne (Vern) Boettger, age 78, last seen Oct. 6 driving north from Vavenby on Highway 5. He was in his black 1997 Ford Ranger, license plate 8769HB, with a purple and blue pin stripe. Search and Rescue crews have now stood down, and RCMP report that all local roads and back roads in the Valemount/Mt. Robson area have now been checked.
BEETLE REPS District of 100 Mile House council has ratified an e-mail poll it conducted to appoint Mayor Mitch Campsall as its director to the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition. Councillor Spence Henderson has been appointed as CCBAC’s alternate director on behalf of 100 Mile House.
LOCAL MP EXPENSES Recently-released expenses for federal politicians reveal Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod spent slightly more than $423,000 between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. McLeod’s largest expense was for travel. She told media it obviously costs much more for a representative to travel back-and-forth to Ottawa from British Columbia than it does for a Toronto-based MP to get to the House of Commons.

Bear sightings abound in South Cariboo Subdivisions prowled for apples, other attractants
Carole Rooney Free Press
Dozens of bears have been seen prowling the 100 Mile House area in the first two weeks of October alone, some of them right in town. Sgt. Len Butler, Cariboo-Chilcotin Zone supervisor for the Conservation Officer Service, notes there have been numerous bear complaints coming in from area residents. “For [Oct. 1-17], already we are looking at about 43 different complaints, and that is
not even a third of what is happening.” That’s because not everyone reports sightings to the authorities, and although many post sightings on Facebook, he says the COs don’t respond unless they have a first-person account of a sighting or conflict. One account posted Oct. 16 on Facebook indicated a resident on Dogwood Avenue had a bear in her mudroom that morning. When startled, the animal apparently took a bag of garbage out of the can
and carried it outside to continue munching. “In the last three months, [the CO service] has been hit very hard with the number of complaints.” About 27 of the 43 complaints during the first half of month were reported within the 100 Mile House boundaries or in 108 Mile Ranch, Butler adds. The 108 Mile Ranch community has seen the most bears reported for the 100 Mile House service area, he notes, with bears in areas surrounding the municipality the
next most commonly seen. “It is very frustrating to deal with. People have to be diligent with their attractants because when you put a tin can [in the trap] and try to get an animal to go in it – when they can just go to a garbage can and open it up – it is pretty difficult to get a bear into a trap some days.” Eliminating bear attractants includes
safely storing garbage, pet food and barbecues, as well as picking fruit off of trees, which Butler explains is another “huge” issue. “It is picking up fruit that falls on the ground, that is the other big problem – people just leave it there. “You are putting your neighbours in harm’s way, too. Everyone will call and say ‘well, I have kids’, but the neigh-
bourhoods have to help themselves. We don’t pick fruit.” He adds people who don’t remove attractants are also to blame for bears being killed because once habituated by food from humans, they can’t be successfully relocated to wild lands. “If someone has fruit or garbage out, and we have to respond, they can either be charged
with attracting dangerous wildlife, they can be ticketed, or they can be given a Dangerous Wildlife Restraining Order [DWPO].” The DWPO typically orders the property owner to clean up the attractants, and if they don’t, Butler says a ticket will follow. “But, there are so many [residents with bear attractants], I don’t know how we even do it.”

Bear sightings in and around 100 Mile House are on the rise and kept conservation officers busy in October. People leaving out unsecured garbage and apples on trees and lawns are primarily to blame, according to Conservation Officer Service spokesperson.
Deer population becoming problematic in many areas From A1
“It was really ticked off.” Sgt. Len Butler of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Service says aggressive deer complaints are on the rise, especially in the spring when does have their fawns. “In our zone, we have so many deer populating towns and rural areas, it’s a real tough one. “It’s becoming more of a problem in a lot of these areas. Some of the bigger cities are to the point now they’re doing a cull to try to remove some of the deer that are staying in the cities.”
Collens didn’t report the Oct. 8 attack, but Butler advises people do so by calling 1-877-9527277. “[We’re the ones that] remove an aggressive deer if that deer has attacked somebody. It’s pretty important if we’re in a town setting because of a discharge of firearms or possibly a tranquilizer or something along those lines. “If something’s attacked somebody, it has probably happened before or will happen again.” Anyone looking for more information about reducing human-wildlife encounters can visit www.wildsafebc.com,
he adds. Collens, an experienced hunter, says he thinks he was probably to blame for the attack since he got between the doe and its fawn. “I should have known not too get too close. I’ve seen lots of people get attacked by moose and seen lots of dogs get trampled by deer on YouTube.” The experience hasn’t really changed the way he thinks about deer, he adds. But he agrees there’s a moral to the story. “Don’t get in between a doe and its fawn,” he says. “Lesson learned.”

Dental problems are extremely common in cats and dogs. In small dogs, it usually is a result of periodontal disease, which is caused by the bacteria in plaque attacking the tissues around the teeth. Loose and abscessed teeth can result, and it seems the smaller the dog, the more likely this is to occur - some little dogs can have numerous loose and abscessed teeth at a few years of age. Oddly, dogs with abscessed teeth usually have no symptoms that can be recognized by their owners, other than bad breath. Dogs will even chew dry food with abscessed teeth.

However, when these teeth are removed, a subtle but definite improvement in the dog is seen. The bacterial infection in the mouth that causes periodontal disease also affects distant organs in the body, including the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Large dogs more commonly have problems with abscesses in broken teeth as a result of chewing on rocks and bones. Periodontal disease can be prevented by chews and special foods that clean teeth, or even brushing the animals teeth, although human toothpaste should not be used.

Throne speech mandates balanced budgets
Carole Rooney Free Press
K a m l o o p s T h omp s on - C ar i b o o MP Cathy McLeod notes that in her broad brush view, the Conservative government has laid out a very comprehensive and ambitious agenda for the next couple of years. Governor General David Johnston delivered Harper’s speech from the throne to open the second session of the 41st Parliament and outline government’s plans. One of its key elements is continuing efforts towards creating a stronger economy and more jobs, she explains, as well as some important justice legislation. “We do know that Canada has done well, but [the goal] is to continue to maintain that focus.” Several components address a number of concerns, which McLeod says she has heard about from her constituents over time. They include seniors on fixed incomes being charged for paper billing if they don’t use the Internet (pay-to-pay fees). They also include current rural broadband limitations, both of which government vows to change. “And, it’s especially to
look at companies that tend to have almost a monopoly, to ensure that consumers are recognized in that.” Cable companies will no longer be able to force bundled television packages, which she notes is also significant for smaller cable companies trying to remain competitive. Along with resolving ongoing issues with high roaming charges for mobile phones, McLeod adds, these are all “really important” for rural communities. She explains the new employment train-

Funding for home care available
From A3
As a self-managed model of care, CSIL then allows the approved patient to become an employer and directly purchase their own home support services. The disabled person normally assumes full responsibility for the management, co-ordination and financial accountability of their own personal care services, including recruiting, hiring, training, scheduling and supervising home support workers. Brown notes there is also a provision for family members to take on this home support role that can particularly apply in rural and remote areas.
Interior Health (IH) may grant an exception to pay an immediate family member if four criteria are met. The disabled employer must wish to pay an immediate family member to provide assessed services that IH would otherwise provide, either through CSIL or a care home. The health authority must also verify there is no appropriate, available caregiver to provide for any “extraordinary or unique needs” of the client, including the nature and degree of care required, a rural or remote location, or cultural or communication barriers. The family circumstances of the client are also considered by IH, and the client’s
care plan must include appropriate respite for the immediate family member. See further details on these conditions and general eligibility by downloading the guidelines at www.interiorhealth.ca/YourCare/ HomeCommunityCare/ ChoiceInSupports ForIndependentLiving. Be sure to also check out detailed help link at “Learn more about the CSIL program.” Brown adds she thinks another important document for folks to consider is a Representation Agreement, a legal document that empowers one family member to make decisions on behalf of another. Beyond having had such an agreement with
her late husband, Brown says she now has one allowing her daughters to legally act on her behalf if some “lifechanging” event were to
happen that affected her own abilities. More information on a Representation Agreement is online at www.nidus.ca.

Gated garbage sites gain public acceptance Winter access hours cause limited dissatisfaction
Carole Rooney Free Press
Fall has brought the onset of winter hours at some newly-controlled garbage dumps in the South Cariboo. This came about after a Cariboo Regional District (CRD) pilot project at the Lac la Hache transfer station, which resulted in significant cost savings to eventually trickle down to area taxpayers. The CRD’s solid waste management plan saw changes implemented this summer at the Forest Grove and Lone Butte transfer stations, and at the Watch Lake and Interlakes landfills. All four of these refuse dumps now have
an attendant on site to oversee the site use, and area residents have been given information handouts and surveys about the preliminary hours of operation. The two transfer stations also gained compaction systems similar to that installed last year in a project pilot at the Lac La Hache site. They’ll all have recycling bins added in 2014. CRD chair Al Richmond, and other area directors, have been providing brief updates on both the pilot and the newer changes at recent townhall budget meetings held across the South Cariboo. Richmond says

cling – and capture more cardboard for example – there is less going into the landfill and you are extending the life of that landfill, which is an important benefit, too.” He explains another issue that became apparent in preparing the plan was that illegal dumping and abuse of the region’s refuse sites were increasing cleanup costs, as well as putting the environment and the public at risk. So far, Richmond says he isn’t aware of any increased complaints of trash dumped elsewhere now that these site gates are locked after hours. If trash is dumped outside site gates the CRD’s bylaw officer will get involved for potential fines, but he explains any illegal dumping should be reported to the CRD office at 1-800-665-1636 (ask for
Mitch Minchau or Tara Grady). Richmond adds callers may be redirected to the appropriate provincial office for any off-site follow-up and cleanup, but the CRD wants to know about all illegal dumping in the region. The same cost reductions may not be seen at sites with smaller volumes, but the board
chair predicts that proportionate levels of savings will result once all the programs are implemented. Comments from the meetings and surveys are still being collected for the board’s further consideration, Richmond notes. More information is available at www. cariboord.bc.ca.

Time to care for those who need it
E
arlier this month we celebrated Health Care Assistant Day. The day was first proclaimed by the provincial government in 2011, in recognition of the exceptional commitment and skill British Columbia’s care aides and community health workers bring to health care’s front lines. You may not know health care assistants by their various job titles, but they are the backbone of personal care and support in our long-term care homes, the community and in our acute care hospitals. They provide seniors and others with every aspect of individual care – from feeding, toileting, dental care and bathing to comforting those who are confused, agitated or in the final stages of life. They do it in the face of significant obstacles that undermine the quality of care they are able to

GUEST SHOT
CBC is seeking a 4.9 per cent increase across the board for insurance rates, which, if approved, would take place on Nov. 1. According to reports, the average rate change for drivers would see an increase of around $35. ICBC states it needs the increase because there are more bodily injury claims involving distracted drivers, pedestrians and bicycles — and deer for those motorists out in the rural area of the province. ICBC states these increased costs, coupled with the jump in the number of motorists taking legal action to dispute claims and payouts, have driven up operation costs of the Crown corporation. According to reports, bodily injury claims, lost wages, pain and suffering and future care topped $1.9 billion last year – up by $165 million from 2011. At the same time, ICBC also applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for a four per cent decrease in optional coverage, so it can compete with the private insurance industry. If BCUC approves that request, it would lower the average driver’s annual premium bill increase to around $25. Meanwhile, the Crown corporation’s last increase was 11 per cent last year, but at the same time, it decreased optional insurance by six per cent. However, the 4.9 per cent increase isn’t the end of the tale, as ICBC is also looking for an undisclosed hike in 2014. The Crown corporation is in the insurance business to make money and most of the net revenue goes directly in the provincial government’s general coffers. So it makes perfect sense that the more money this government’s golden goose makes, the more money the province has to run its various programs. The argument is it’s costing the corporation, which has a government-mandated monopoly on basic insurance in B.C., more to pay out claims and, therefore, it needs more money. However, we have to note the “optional insurance” end of the operation is flush and makes a tidy annual surplus. Again, it makes sense for ICBC to continue to find ways to knock out the underpinnings of the private insurance industry. Any extra gains made there will be extra revenue in the government coffers. So while the B.C. Liberal government is being careful about raising taxes, these increased fees could certainly be considered, or at the very least, debated that they are, in fact, tax increases. If the increase goes through, we, in rural B.C., will definitely be paying the piper because we don’t have the public transit systems larger cities have. We have no choice but to pay increased rates to a monopoly the government has mandated.

Scrimping on human resources may save a few dollars in the short term. But once you add up the additional costs that come from increased injuries and sick time, there are no longterm savings to be found by understaffing. As the union representing the vast majority of care aides and community health workers in B.C., HEU is calling for the changes needed to ensure staff have the time they need to provide quality care. Without that basic investment, our seniors will continue to lose out. And our care aides and community support workers will continue to burn out. It’s time to care. It’s time to invest in people – the people who need care, and the people who provide it. Bonnie Pearson is the secretary-business manager, of the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Education act will assist First Nations students To the editor: I am writing about Liberal Aboriginal Affairs critic Carolyn Bennett’s letter, headlined Tories failing Aboriginal students, on page A9 of the Sept. 25 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. Her letter began by claiming our [federal] government has “spent the summer talking about our forthcoming First Nations Education Act” and goes on to conclude it’s high time we closed the First Nations education gap. Unfortunately, she forgot to mention this is what the First
Nations Education Act intends to do. Improving graduation rates for First Nations students is an objective the government shares with First Nations parents, educators and leaders. In Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2012, the government committed to working with First Nations to have in place by September 2014 a First Nations Education Act, based on recommendations from a national panel between the government and the Assembly of First Nations. This legislation would establish the structures and standards nec-
essary to ensure stronger, more accountable education systems on reserve. The government also committed to exploring mechanisms to ensure stable, predictable and sustainable funding for First Nations elementary and secondary education. To help ensure readiness for the new First Nations education system, EAP 2012 invested $100 million over three years for First Nations education to provide early
Reader: Fletcher using arguments based on emotion, not facts To the editor: I am writing regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, headlined Science loses ground to superstition, on page A9 of the Oct. 2 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. It’s truly bewildering to see such a headline above, yet even more of Tom Fletcher’s demagoguery towards David Suzuki – one who is an ardent believer and follower of actual science. If it’s actual science that Fletcher truly seeks, why does he conveniently overlook the blatant anti-science thinking and frightening policy of his bird-of-a-feather Prime Minister Stephen Harper? As one who has spent some early years consuming fundamentalist
Christian preaching and teaching, including the evangelical sort towards which Harper and many of his MPs claim to be devout, it’s clear that such theology does not at all concern itself with a healthy, pristine Earth ecosystem. For, according to the Book of Revelations, Earth is to eventually be laid complete waste for a considerable period of time – if not permanently (depending on Biblical interpretation). So, really, why worry about an unhealthy state of the planet’s environment – especially when there are so many jobs to be had? Frank G. Sterle Jr. White Rock
literacy programming and other supports and services to First Nations schools and students, and to strengthen their relationships with provincial school systems. To complement these investments in First Nations education programming, EAP 2012 also invested $175 million over three years to build and renovate schools on reserve, providing First Nations youth with better learning environments. This builds on investments
in on-reserve school infrastructure made as part of our EAP between 2009 and 2011. The government will continue to consult with First Nations across Canada on the development of legislation to close the education gap and is committing to sharing draft legislation with First Nations communities for their input.

Small business saluted
To the editor: Small businesses are the heart and soul of communities. They support families and keep local economies strong. The owners are parents, coaches and volunteers who make a difference every day. October is Small Business Month – our chance to recognize the tremendous contributions that small businesses make. Across British Columbia, 98 per cent of businesses are small businesses and more than a million British Columbians work for them. It takes courage, energy and dedication to run a small business. I know the challenges from running my own business for 21 years and from my time with the BC Chamber of Commerce and the North Vancouver Chamber. That’s why, as Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business,
I am working hard to make B.C. the most small-business friendly jurisdiction in Canada. It’s why we’re continuing to cut red tape and boost the small business share of government contracts by 20 per cent. It’s also why government has already cut the small business corporate income tax rate by 44 per cent, and is committed to cutting it a further 40 per cent. This month, join me in thanking small businesses in your
community. They are more than just business owners. In fact, you can nominate your favourite for a Small Business BC Award between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30 at http://sbbcawards.ca/. Together, we can make sure the small-business heart of our communities beats a little stronger. Naomi Yamamoto Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business

Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.-based Nuka Research and Planning Group, and ignored by most of the media and public. There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope
spike in oil-eating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book, Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home. Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea. Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up. No tankers? Better check again. Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

the province Potato House Society to host Zombie Walk WILLIAMS LAKE - The Potato House Society is hosting the city’s first annual Williams Lake Zombie Walk from the Potato House to city hall on Halloween night. Participants are asked to meet at the Potato House this Halloween at 4 p.m. for the parade that will start at 4:30 p.m., says society president Mary Forbes. She says Zombie Walks are a popular community pedestrian event founded in Vancouver and are now held around the country. “While the Zombie theme appeals to mass culture and is quite eye catching as they stumble by, the true benefits of an event like this is the engagement of people past the trick- or-treating age to have an activity with other community members on an evening traditionally pedestrian and increasingly becoming vehicle bound,” Forbes says. She says the Zombie Walk is a family event and invites people of all ages to participate.
Two-year sentence for drunk-driving death KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops man who was driving drunk when he struck and killed a pedestrian on the T'kemlups Indian Band reserve last year will spend the next two years serving a federal prison sentence. Robert Bill was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, Oct. 16. Court heard the 32-year-old was in the middle of a two-day binge on July 20, 2012, following the stabbing death of one of his best friends, when he accidentally ran down 64-year-old David Seymour in the area of West Shuswap and Salish roads. Bill fled the scene and Seymour died of his injuries. In handing down his sentence, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley said the fact Bill knew Seymour was in need of medical attention, but did not alert anyone to the situation is an aggravating factor. "A jail sentence is required to emphasize society's outrage at crimes of this nature," he said. In the months following the collision, Bill was banished from the TIB reserve — a place he had lived for 20 years.

I am for that because there are so many getting stolen so often, even if they are chained and locked.
The biggest thing is how they are going to control it. Will they force current owners to register? Only those who buy them from now on should register.
I would say yes, if it helps reduce theft. But, I think it should be easy and inexpensive to do.
Sure, why not? Registration will be good if it cuts down on ATV theft.

C apsule C omments Endemic, epidemic, pandemic....words we hear more often during the flu season. Flu is endemic because it is present continually during the winter months. If the number of flu cases is higher than expected, the flu is epidemic. It becomes pandemic when it occurs over a wide geographical area or even worldwide. Flu has a short incubation period, about 2-3 days. The symptoms can range from mild to severe but one symptom you should not ignore is shortness of breath. If you experience this, see a doctor right away because it could signal a sign of a complication like pneumonia. Some tablets release the medication slowly in the intestinal tract leaving only an empty, unabsorbable shell which you may see in your feces. Don’t be alarmed. It’s just the way the tablet was designed to release the medication. We’ll let you know if we dispense this type of medication for you. Social media, TV, radio and newspapers are full of stories about the latest weight-reducing product or aids to improving your health. It’s important to see where these stories come from and when they cite “clinical studies”, find out who paid for these studies. Often it’s the people who are selling the product.

Ranch manager questions police response
Gaven Crites Free Press
A local rancher gave chase in an airplane to track a pickup truck travelling on Highway 24 and Highway 5 north of Kamloops recently, after confirming it was carrying stolen property from the 100 Mile Ranch. Pilot and ranch manager Greg Messner relayed information to the RCMP throughout the chase, but police were unable to locate the vehicle and the pilot was forced to turn around before he reached Kamloops. Messner now has questions about the RCMP’s response time and if proper procedures were followed. At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 18, ranch owner Marina Cecil observed a pickup truck with ranch property loaded in the back of
it leaving the property and followed the vehicle to Highway 24. She took down the licence plate number and called RCMP and Messner with a description of the truck. After seeing close to $7,000 in property was in fact missing, Messner decided to try and locate the truck from the air. From the information he received from Cecil, he reasoned the driver of the truck was headed to Kamloops and he says he located the truck on the south side of Barriere. “I circled around him for about 60 kilometres (and spent) about a half hour tracking him on the highway,” says Messner, who says he provided regular updates on the location of the vehicle and descriptions of other cars in the area to help RCMP. “I thought for sure they would have had someone out on the
1-800-222-TIPS RCMP seek assistance Sometime during the night of Oct. 14, unknown culprits gained access to the Interior Roads complex at Bridge Lake and removed a fuel pump from a fuel tank and then attempted to siphon fuel from storage tanks. Flooring thieves Sometime between Oct. 13 and 15, unknown culprits broke into Lee’s Custom Flooring on Horse lake Road and stole several items from inside the store and from the locked compound. The amount of loss is believed to be in the vicinity of $2,000. Vehicle break-ins Sometime between Oct. 12 and 14, unknown culprits entered six corporate vehicles parked at a business on Tatton Station Road. Some items of small monetary value were taken from the vehicles. Rifle stolen Sometime overnight of Oct. 18, unknown culprits attended a property on Butler Road near Lac la Hache and stole a Stevens Model 200 - .22/250 calibre rifle and a set of binoculars from a vehicle, as well as a chainsaw from a nearby shed. If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.
road. The system never worked on the cop’s side.” The investigation into the break-and-enter is continuing and RCMP have been in close consultation with Messner to address some of his concerns. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, media relations with the South East District, says at this time multiple detachments are looking at how the information was shared between them via the dispatchers. “It’s a pretty typical incident where at
times we’ll have a theft in progress with vehicle descriptions and there’s attempts made to intercept and stop the vehicle. This [case] has a bit of twist in the sense the complainant jumped into a private aircraft and was able to locate what he believes to be the suspect vehicle and call in a location. “Certainly there’s an expectation from the public and certainly we’re there to provide a response when thefts are occurring. We’d like to see getting the bad guy
in all incidents. “Here, unfortunately we didn’t and we’re looking if something occurred that caused a delay to getting a patrol vehicle out.” Messner says he’s less worried about what was stolen and more concerned about catching the thief and reviewing the RCMP’s response to make sure the proper steps were followed. “I’m out there doing my part; I’m hoping the system is also working with me to help catch the guy.”

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 71 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Excessive speed During the past week, 100 Mile General Duty and Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services members charged four people for excessive speed. The speeds ranged from 49 to 64 km/h over the posted speed limit. One of the people stopped for excessive speed was a resident of the 100 Mile House area and he also displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor and had open liquor in his vehicle.
An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a fail. The male driver declined a second test. He met the guidelines and was subsequently administered a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition (IRP). His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. In addition to the IRP, he also received a violation ticket for the above mentioned excessive speed, open liquor and failing to produce his driver’s licence. Stolen property On Oct. 18 around 1:30 p.m., a pickup truck was observed leaving the 100 Mile Ranch with property belonging to the ranch in the back of the truck. The vehicle was followed by the ranch [manager]

south to Highway 24. A break-in at the residence was confirmed and property was confirmed being stolen. A licence plate number and truck description were provided to police. The ranch [manager] was able to use a plan to fly over Highway 24 and Highway 5 north of Kamloops. A similar vehicle was observed travelling south on Highway 5. The plane operator was forced to turn back on the outskirts of Kamloops. The information was relayed to Kamloops RCMP Detachment; however, they were unable to locate the vehicle. The investigation into this break-and-enter is continuing.

“There will be one registration fee for the life of the machine, which will not be a tax grab ... we’re not trying to penalize anybody. We are trying to make it safer, and we are trying to make it so that we have a better industry for tourism.” The changes were not initiated by government, but rather something that ATV organizations have been asking for, she adds. “The money from the one-time, registration, as I understand it, will pay for the licence plate, and the registration work ... it is supposed to be selffunding. It is not to be something to generate tax dollars to go into general revenue.” Once an act is passed, riders would need an optional annual vehicle licence and insurance to legally operate on forestry roads, but will also be able to cross public roads at desig-

This photo depicts the general concept for the South Cariboo Health Foundation’s Starry Nights fundraiser that aims to light up 100 Mile District General Hospital with dozens of stars. Folks can sponsor a star for each $50 donation, all to be lit up in a Nov. 29 celebration, following the Santa Claus Parade.
Fundraiser lights up community
Carole Rooney Free Press
The inaugural Starry Nights is a star-studded way to light up the 100 Mile District Hospital, the community – and brighten the faces of some of its patients. South Cariboo Health
Foundation (SCHF) co-ordinator M-J Cousins notes that from now through January, folks can sponsor a star, for a $50 donation, to be lit up on the front of the hospital. The concept was developed by SCHF as a celebratory fundraiser to support its ongoing medical equipment purchases for the hos-
pital to the benefit of all in the community. “The intent is to create an annual, signature event that not only contributes to the foundation’s goal of raising funds to enhance the delivery of health care in 100 Continued on A16

Halloween fun in South Cari-boo!
Gaven Crites Free Press
The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) wants you to be afraid – but not too afraid to join the fun at this year’s Halloween Town at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Oct. 31. Planning for the event – which features a haunted house, a giant bonfire, free ice-skating and fireworks – is going
well, according to organizers, but more funds and volunteers are needed. “The community has been very generous so far,” says Colene Hume, SCCC executive director. “But we’re still short about $2,500, so we still need some sponsorship. We do need some volunteers to help out with the bonfire and a few other small jobs.”
Along with the SCCC, Canlan Ice Sports is organizing the event, while Sitka Log Homes is providing the firewood for the bonfire, Tim Hortons has covered the cost of the fireworks show (which starts at 7 p.m.), the 100 Mile House & District Figure Skating Club is selling hot chocolate and the 2014 Peter Skene Ogden grads are prepar-
ing a “creepy zone” to entertain children and a “haunted forest” themed exhibit inside the arena. “It’s a variety of different organizations coming together to put on a big event,” Hume says.
“It’s aimed at giving kids and families somewhere to go [on Halloween]. After a certain time, you have a lot of kids wandering the streets. Now, they can go down to the South
Cariboo Rec. Centre. They can take in the fireworks. They can do the haunted house. It gives everybody a safe place to be.” The family-friendly event goes from 5 to 9 p.m. People interested
in volunteering or making donations are asked to call the chamber office at 250-395-6124. “It’s a way for the community to come together and be as one. If we don’t use it, we’re going to lose it.”

The annual Coats For All gets underway on Nov. 1 and organizers have a wonderful catch phrase for their program: “Give warmth and get a warm feeling yourself.” Coats For All is an opportunity for community-minded folks to go through their used winter wear and donate them to a good cause that runs from Nov. 1 to 27. People are asked to take their used winter coats, snowsuits, toques, mitts and scarves to 100 Mile Laundromat (located in Owen Square across from the library on Birch Avenue). Laundromat owner Andrew Hofmarks, who is donating his time and machines, says the best time to drop of the winter wear is between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. “If labels say “machine washable,” it would be appreciated if this could be done before drop-off, as well as any minor repairs. Please label items “washed” or
“needs to be washed,” says key organizer Wendy Hamblin. Leather clothing cannot be accepted, she adds. Items will be distributed locally. People in need can pick up

Sports Big plays in big win
Wranglers goaltenders give young team a 'chance to win every night' Gaven Crites Free Press
It’s the type of highlightreel save fans and players still talk about well after the final buzzer. Up 3-2 over the Summerland Steam with less than 10 seconds on the clock at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Oct. 20, the 100 Mile House Wranglers were battling a six-on-five man advantage, desperately trying to preserve the win. After a blocked shot, Summerland had one more – very good – look at the net. In the words of coach/general manager Doug Rogers with respect to Nathan Warren’s 33rd save of the afternoon: “All you could say is, ‘Wow’.” On the final play, all you could see was net from where most of the close to 450 in attendance were standing. Warren was down from a previous shot attempt and Summerland moved the puck across the crease to his glove side to a wide open player. For a split second, overtime looked like a sure thing. “I thought it was going in,” Rogers says. “Then out came his arm.” Warren deflected the puck into the boards behind the net and time expired. Coming off a 6-0 loss to the Kamloops Storm on Oct. 18 and tough road games ahead – in Kamloops on Oct. 25 and North Okanagan on Oct. 26 – last Sunday’s

Nathan Warren has made 90 saves on 98 shots throughout the last two games for the 100 Mile House Wranglers of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Wranglers lost 6-0 to the Kamloops Storm on Oct. 18 and won 3-2 against the Summerland Steam on Oct. 20.
win was a “big” one for the Wranglers. “This is a big win for us after the issues we had Friday night and how lopsided the game was. It’s good to get back in the win column and it’s good for the guys’ confidence to go back on the road.” Against Kamloops, the Wranglers only dressed 13 skaters. “It was my decision to go with a short bench,” Rogers explains. “Following a discussion earlier that day with the players concerning play-
er responsibilities.” The Wranglers gave up 63 shots in that game and Warren made 57 saves. “He got over-worked and we couldn’t help him out,” Roger says, adding he has no worries when it comes to goaltending. For an expansion team in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, the goaltenders are an important source of stability. “[Kristian Stead and Warren] give us a chance to win every night. They’ll battle every night and it’s great
for our young team to know they have great goaltending behind them.” After eight games played, Stead has a save percentage of .885, while Warren, after seven games played, has a save percentage of .927. “I make [Stead] better and he makes me better,” Warren says. “If one of us has a bad game, you expect him to take advantage next game and play two or three games in a row. Neither one of us likes sitting on the bench, so we really push each other to
be consistent every game. “At the end of the season, we’re both going to be better goalies.” Team captain Jaiden Ward is suffering post-concussion syndrome and was in the stands for the 3-2 win. Ward says he saw a number of players step up, including Mathieu Longhurst, who scored early for 100 Mile House with his first of the season, and Lane Van de Wetering, who scored the game winner in the third period, perhaps the game’s second most impressive play. For the goal, Van de Wetering slid the puck between the legs of a Summerland defenceman and then fired it over the goalie’s shoulder from what seemed like an impossible angle before falling into the boards. As Ward put it: “That was a dangle, snipe, ‘celly’ [celebration].” Connor Sloan and Luke Santerno continue to score regularly and lead the team with 16 and 14 points, respectively, but the Wranglers (6-7-0-1) have received more scoring from secondary sources lately. “It’s really good to see we don’t have to rely on one line anymore,” Ward says, adding he’s pretty sure the first-year team is meeting or exceeding people’s expectation. “We just need to keep showing up to practice, work our butts and keep winning. And make every one proud.”
‘Shootout’ at 108 Golf Resort The 108 Golf Resort’s year-end wind-up was held under sunny skies on Oct. 14. Golfers played in three different tournaments – Horse Race, Big Hole, and an annual Shootout. Thirty-six players participated in the Horse Race tournament, which saw highest scoring players eliminated at each hole on the front nine. In the group for 12-and-under handicaps, John McNeil finished first, Chris Stevens was second and
Dave Robertson took third. In the 13-and-over handicap group, Jim French took first, Ervin Hannah finished second, and third was Spence Henderson. Cathy Waite won the ladies group, followed by Kathy Reid and Gloria Corno. On the back nine, 40 golfers played in the Big Hole tournament, where the holes were doubled in diameter to about the size of coffee cans. Low-gross winner on the men’s side was Stevens, followed by Tom
Lavigne and Denny Rowe. Low-net winner was Shawn Reid. Bob Weiduwilt was second and Al Smeds took third. Maureen Menzies was low-gross winner for the ladies and Judy Scarrow was second. Low net was Reid, followed by Shelley Declare. The 108 Golf Resort Annual Shootout saw 55 members pay $20 for three balls to try for closest to the pin on No. 10 for prizes. At six feet and six inches, Stevens was
closest and won a membership for next season. At six feet and 11 inches, Shelley Larson was second closest and won free golf passes. Tony Morete landed seven feet away from the hole and won a free driving range pass for next season. All throughout the 2013 season, local golfers praised the condition of the golf course. “We’re hoping it’s not a fluke and we’ll see about it next year,” says 108 Golf Resort general manager Jeff Kendy.

Meinert: ‘Ready for the big one’
Gaven Crites Free Press
It’s been a long road full of spins, turns, slides and stops for Elisabeth Meinert, but she’s arrived at the “big one.” Meinert, 25, of Lac la Hache, qualified for the National Reining Horse Association Adequan North American Affiliate Championships in Oklahoma City, which take place Nov. 28-Dec. 7. “I’m really excited I accomplished it,” says Meinert, who recently qualified at an event in Brandon, Man. “It’s been a long road, but it’s a huge accomplishment for myself.” Meinert rides at the Easygo Ranch in Lac la Hache. She’s been showing reining horses for close to six years and has been working with her horse, Chic Dreamin Darling, for two-and-a-half of them. The idea behind reining, which is judged based on patterns the rider and horse

Julie Yamaoko looked down the ice at the 100 Mile Curling Club and counted a number of her stones well short and nowhere near the centre of the opposite house. “I hope we’re just going to get better. Because there’s no points out there.” Yamaoka and members of her team are in the right place on this night (Oct. 8), taking advantage of free lessons provided by the local curling club ahead of the upcoming curling season. She says the toughest part is keeping her balance and not falling down. However, Yamaoka is confident she’ll improve quickly. “I’m having a great time and learning a lot,” she says, adding maybe she’ll curl in the Olympics next year or in the Tim Hortons Brier. “Something that’s on TV.” Katie McLellan is part of the team curling in the non-competitive business league this year. “It’s a team building, bonding, skills night,” explains McLellan, who hasn’t curled in close to a decade and who might be sore the next day.

South Cariboo Writers’ Guild taps into local resources Gaven Crites Free Press
A new group has come together for writers in the 100 Mile House area. “The idea is to have something low-key, no pressure,” says South Cariboo Writers’ Guild founder Kimberly VanderHorst. “Writers are a pretty solitary bunch in general. There are a lot of people writing in the quiet of their own homes and not really having a connection with other people who share the passion they do.” The South Cariboo Writers’ Guild is a way of making those connections and it meets

Free education for B.C. entrepreneurs to celebrate
To encourage British Columbia’s entrepreneurs to develop, grow and improve their businesses during Small Business Month, a series of free seminars and webinars is being offered by Small Business BC (SBBC). Throughout the month of October, Small Business BC is providing free business seminars and webinars on workplace safety, financing, business strategy, marketing and more. Seminars are being offered live in Vancouver and by interactive webinar across B.C., so all business owners will have access. “Small Business Month is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn about the many great resources that exist to help them succeed. At Small Business BC, we want to ensure
that they not only know about those resources, but also use them, so we’re pleased to offer complimentary business education throughout October,” said SBBC chief executive officer George Hunter. “We feel that having the knowledge and skills to back a business idea will only lead to stronger and more successful entrepreneurs in this province.” Limited space is available, so early registration is encouraged at www. smallbusinessbc.ca. For entrepreneurs interested in attending other Small Business Month activities, Small Business BC also hosts an online events calendar featuring networking, education and business events across B.C. for the month of October.
Kids Bible Club begins A unique Kids Bible Club for children age four-12 begins at the Seventh-day Adventist Church at 103 Mile this Saturday Oct. 26, starting at 3 p.m. Kids Bible Club is a weekly Bible learning time featuring great music, stories, and activities that help children explore the “amazing love of God.” The theme is High Seas Expedition. “All children are invited and welcome to come,” says program director Cameron Johnston. “Whether children have a background in the Bible or it is all new to them, they are welcome and they will benefit and enjoy the program.
“At High Seas Expedition, children will explore the incredible love of God on a journey that will be fun and life changing. High Seas Expedition is filled with interesting Bible learning, cool worship songs, games and special events your kids will not want to miss. “A highlight will be helping kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God Sightings.” So mark this date on your calendar for Oct. 26 and make sure your children are there. For more information or to register your children, call 250791-5705 today.
the second and fourth Thursday of every month in the 100 Mile House Library from 6:15 to 7:55 p.m. The group is free to join and for anyone interested in writing, no matter their level of experience. “It was really neat for the more experienced people to share their experiences with the people who are still struggling and figuring things out and wondering what to do next. It was neat to share resources like that.” VanderHorst, who writes young adult scifi and fantasy novels, adds it’s a similar experience to attending writing conferences, except it’s local.
“It’s nice to talk to people who understand. You don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to go off to some big city to have this experience because we have that here in our community. We just need to tap into it.” The group’s first meeting was on Oct. 10 and the next one is slated for Oct. 24. “We talked about what we’re writing and what we’d like to do in the community to promote literacy. We kind of threw around some ideas about what we wanted to get out of the experience.” For more information, visit www. southcariboowriters. com.

DE WITTE
Maria Louisa Dec. 14 1934 - Oct. 16, 2013
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maria Louisa De Witte. Maria Louisa was born in Loonbeek, Belgium and moved to Canada in June of 1980 with her second husband Prudent De Witte. She lived in Canada for 33 years regularly going back to Belgium to visit her family. Maria Louisa worked as a home support worker for 10 years in 100 Mile House. She was always happy and loved cooking, cleaning and helping others. She was happiest when around her grandchildren and loved nothing better than to let you know how wonderful she thought they were. Maria Louisa was predeceased by her father Camille Huyberechts and her brother-in-law. She is survived by her mother Jeanne Vanderlinder, siblings: Louis (Angel), Marie (Gilbert), Simone and Nicole (Jeff); sons: Patrick (Martine, children Andy and Robin) and Eddy (children Maxim and Lisa); stepsons: Rudy (Vera, daughter Lien) and Eddy (Janna, children Nole, Owen and Merek) as well as other nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts and uncles. A special mention is needed for long-time friend Lillian; thank you for always being there for Maria Louisa. Maria Louisa loved children and made a contribution to the Children’s Hospital every year; she would be honoured by any donations made in her name. A celebration of her life will be held at the 100 Mile House Funeral Home, 225 Cedar Avenue in 100 Mile House, B.C. on Saturday November 2, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. with Father Vern officiating, reception to follow.
McDONNELL Mary Aileen
May 6, 1930 - Oct. 7, 2013
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Mary McDonnell after a battle with lung cancer. Mary lived in Lac la Hache for nearly 40 years until her health suddenly declined and she moved to be near her family in the Lower Mainland for her final months. She passed away at the Port Moody Crossroads Hospice. Mary was born in Toronto and moved to Vancouver as a teenager. She married young, had six children, and was not yet 30 when her first husband, Bill, died. She remained in the Vancouver area for some years after that, where she married her second husband, Jim. The call of the outdoors was strong, and so they eventually moved to the Cariboo. Mary worked for the B.C. Forest Service in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake from 1979 until retiring in 1994. In her leisure time she was a keen gardener, a skilled and productive knitter, a crossword enthusiast, and a dedicated and often successful bingo player. Most of her friends knew of her musical talent, but not everyone knew that she completed all the Toronto Conservatory piano exams at an unusually early age, or that she took regular lessons there immediately before Glenn Gould, who she remembered as a quiet boy who always wore mittens no matter the weather. Mary’s husband, Jim, predeceased her by just six months, in March 2013. Daughter Lavone passed away in 2010. Mary is survived by daughter Debbie and sons Bill, John, Terry, and Michael, as well as 11 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Thank you to all those in Lac la Hache and the Lower Mainland who have given help and support over the past months. Special thanks to the staff at the Burnaby General Hospital and the Crossroads Hospice for their warm and attentive care. According to her wishes, Mary was cremated and was remembered in a private family ceremony at Fly Lake, a favourite place. Rest in peace Mum, you will be missed.
I heard your voice in the wind today The warmth of the wind caressed me I felt your touch in the sun today I closed my eyes for your embrace I saw your eyes in the window pane

The BC NDP is calling on the B.C. Liberal government to act now to curb liquefied natural gas (LNG) carbon emissions. However, CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is defending the stance of government and says its climate-change commitments are part-andparcel in its LNG industry development.

Twins adapting to new team, new league William, Robert Orrey newest additions to 108 Mile family Gaven Crites Free Press
I
n the hallway near the dressing rooms at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre following a recent 100 Mile House Wranglers home game, coach/general manager Doug Rogers was asked about two of his forwards – William and Robert Orrey, 19-yearold twin brothers from Terrace. “I would say they’re more similar than they are different,” Rogers responded. “They both take a lot of pride in what they do. “Will is a little fierier than Robert is. They are different people and they have different attributes, but they are quality kids and they work hard every night and that’s what we can count on.” The Wranglers are an expansion team in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) this season and Rogers has often juggled the lineup looking for the right combination of players to take the team forward. Twothirds of the Orrey line, with William at centre and Robert on the wing, however, hasn’t been touched yet. In some sense, they’re one invariant on a new team in a young season sure to come with a ton of growth and change. When asked if it’s better for the club if they play on the same line, both answer in the affirmative. “I think, mentally, it’s a

big help having my brother there with me,” Robert says. “I think [Rogers] saw our chemistry in tryouts and saw what we were capable of. We push each other forward.” Adds William: “It’s a little frustrating we haven’t found the back of the net. But, we’re coming through. We’re a new team, trying to

figure stuff out, that’s the way it is.” Robert agrees. “As a new team, everyone is trying to find their spot and focus on that.”
(Indeed, they have already started coming through. Robert scored twice, including the overtime winner, against the Revelstoke Grizzlies on

Oct. 13.) The twin brother dynamic is an interesting one to consider in the realm of sports. Since the day they started playing hockey in atom – “It was one of the greatest days of my life,” says Robert – the boys have used one another as markers of how well they’re progressing.
Their style of play is similar in that they’re a bit undersized, but quick, skilled and tenacious. Having spent so much time on the ice together, the chemistry between them is obviously there. But when things go wrong, they agree that criticism, no matter how well-intentioned, is more irksome coming from your brother’s mouth than a regular teammate’s. “It’s family,” says Robert. “You have that pride thing.” William, the elder by 45 minutes and admittedly quicker to show his emotions, says it does get heated between them at times, but they try to keep things positive. “I rely on him as much as he relies on me. No matter what’s going on, we try to do our best. You have to battle through it.” Growing up in Terrace – some 900 kilometres northwest of 100 Mile House – the boys say they played the sort of customary tricks you’d expect identical-looking people to play. And they say it is funny and a bit of a moodlightener when coaches, often shouting for everyone to hear, mistake one for the other on the ice. But, of course, their monozygotic (identical twins) coincidence isn’t always comical. With it comes the regular annoyance: Are you William? Are you Robert?

Brothers a positive addition to 108 family like we’re part of the family now.” Chris and Andrea Thain reside in 108 Mile Ranch and have three young children. With the Orrey boys there the grocery bill is a lot higher, but otherwise Chris says the arrangement is working out and having them around makes the new Wranglers team that much more exciting. “It’s almost like your kids are playing,” he says of the experience. “They have teammates coming over here

“I respond to both now,” says William. “If someone says ‘Robert,’ I look up.” Like coach Rogers says, as much as the two are similar, they are different people with different characteristics. Robert, for instance, seems a bit quicker to converse. But when the question comes up about who is better with girls, it’s William who chimes in first: “Robbie,” he answers. “[That’s a] smooth talker over there.” Robbie, with bashful laughter, concedes this is true. Adapting to Junior B hockey and staking a place for themselves in the KIJHL is something the Orrey boys say they’re enjoying thoroughly. They look to the future and see college, Junior A or potentially professional hockey. For the Wranglers, even with the challenges to be expected in an inaugural season, they say it’s not too early to be thinking playoffs. “I think for everyone in the dressing room, that’s the bar,” says William. “I think if
and we’ve met most of the players now I think. It’s different to sit in the stands. I feel more involved.” The boys help out at home with the kids, too, Chris adds. “We have a 20-month-old boy and now he’s addicted to hockey. They take him downstairs and play hockey with him. That’s like the one word he’s really good at saying – ‘hockey’. “It feels like our family got a little bit bigger.”

Finding beauty in pine beetle outbreak
Gaven Crites Free Press
In her work presently on display at the Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House, renowned Wells artist Claire Kujundzic offers a creative response to the mountain pine beetle outbreak, which has affected more than 40 million acres of British Columbia’s forests. “It was finding the beauty and not just being scared of the pine-beetle epidemic, but seeing the transition of the forest and seeing the resiliency of nature,” Kujundzic explains. “In a way, it’s about looking closely at what’s going on around us. We’re all in the middle of this forest that covers the Cariboo.” The show, Forest Light, is a selection of canvas trees and other works from

painting, called Firewall, she did in 2003 that’s considered a transition piece of Kujundzic’s work. “Claire wouldn’t normally show in a smaller gallery, but we established a relationship and about three years ago I started begging her, ‘Come, please, please,’” Brown says. “I felt it was really important. What Claire as an artist has been doing is huge.” Kujundzic will be at the Parkside Art Gallery on Oct. 29 for an artist talk, which starts at 7 p.m. She plans on entertaining questions, explaining techniques and talking about the history of her work and where it’s going. “To see an epidemic happen, it’s frightening,” Kujundzic says. “But, nature’s cycle of renewal is also inspiring.”

tle-etched wood she was burning in a stove. “This decaying wood,
which appeared ugly and frightening for its larger environmental, social, and economic consequences, was actually quite intriguing, exquisite and interesting.” The beetle engravings reminded her of ancient cave paintings in Spain and France. “It was almost like there was a message in the wood from the beetles to us. I think I felt a strong response to what it looked like all around. The change from the green to red and red to black.” For outgoing gallery director Barb Brown, the show is “dear to her heart” for a few different reasons. It’s her last show as gallery director, but also she’s been following Kujundzic for some time and is a proud owner of an important part of her work – a

The ladies of Boultbee Road never have to look too hard for a reason to get together for a travelling tea party. Oct. 6 proved to be a good day to gather as the group included four ladies from the road who had never attended before. A small cake with candles was presented to the youngest attendee celebrating her birthday, although several other ladies insisted they were also 29. No doubt their claim referred to their state of mind and not their actual age. The hostess, Dale Yeager, used the opportunity to have the ladies sign a huge card for

Students busy with education, activities weeks, the fire department members will be going to the school to talk to the Grade 4 and 5 students. “That will be a basic fire safety awareness program. It’s a little more intensive than what we do with the kindergarten kids.”
108 Mile Ranch It has been busy at Mile 108 Elementary School for both the students and the administration. New principal Heather Goodall took over the reins from longtime principal Tom Turner. Students are settled in and are busy with a variety of activities and events. Book fair The Scholastic Book Fair, which is a fundraiser for the school library, started on Oct. 21 and is running through to Oct. 24. The event is open to the public, so folks can purchase some children’s books, but there are also some adult-oriented books, including cook books. Today (Oct. 23) the book sale goes from 11:45 a.m. to 12:23 p.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m. On Oct. 24, the sale is on from 11:45 a.m. to 12:23 p.m. All of the money generated during the event will go directly back into the library in the form of books and new bean bag chairs. Family night Oct. 22 was a big day at the school, as students were invited to wear their hockey jerseys. That evening was family night at the book fair from 5 to 8 p.m. There was a draw for $25 worth of books

The night was highlighted by a visit from some of the 100 Mile House Wranglers who were involved in some activities in the school gymnasium. Fire department 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department chief Marcelle Ried says firefighters hosted the kindergarten children and Grade 1 students from Mile 108 Elementary School during a tour of the fire hall on Oct. 18, as part of the National Fire Prevention Week activities. He adds it was great,
as they talked to them about kitchen fire safety, which was the theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week. “We took them through the fire hall; they got to climb up on the trucks; and we gave them a bag full of goodies ... fire prevention handouts.” Ried explains the goodie bags included a Get Out Alive package,
pamphlets, books, pens and pencils. He notes that in a few

Residents tidy up for winter From B5
experienced during the 25-year running of the neighbourhood event. Participants and spectators enjoyed the sunny day without having to huddle around a burning barrel for warmth. Congratulations to the winning team of neighbours Kelly Raby and Steve Gillett and a big thank-you is extended to the team of residents who helped with organizing and cooking. Invitations for next year’s tournament are sent out to previous participants; however, others interested in joining in on the fun can have their names added to the waiting list. Contact the writer for more information. Bear incident Sadly, two bears were hit on Highway 24 during the evening on Oct. 14. A large sow and her cub both died at the
scene. There is little doubt these were two of the bears observed roaming through yards on a daily basis during the past month. Residents should continue to be cautious as there could easily be more bears in the area. Shoreline cleanup Frost, ice and strong winds have prompted residents to put their boats and docks safely away for winter. Some docks have been moved to protected bays around the lake while many are pulled up onto the shore. Residents are reminded that public accesses are used during the winter for travelling to the lake for recreational and standby emergency water purposes and should never be blocked. Family reunion Congratulations to Don St. Hilaire of Boultbee Road for his milestone birthday
in October. Don waited until his entire family came home from Edmonton for Thanksgiving to celebrate. While Don claimed “the best birthday present ever” was to be surrounded by his family, the fact that everyone pitched in to split and stack his winter supply of firewood was an added bonus and just in time for the fastapproaching winter. Friends meet A small group of members attended the annual general meeting of the Friends of Lac des Roches and Birch Lake on Sept. 30 at the Lac
des Roches Resort. The executive remains the same and names are posted on the society’s website. For the benefit of new members present, the group’s involvement with water stewardship, wildlife and environmental monitoring was explained. Residents are encouraged to renew their memberships as a show of support for the society’s initiatives and to benefit from their quarterly newsletters. Call the writer for more information or go to the society’s website at www.lacdesroches. org.

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK
Ask an Expert:
COTTAGES TBM2297
I want to save MORE on energy, what can I do?
Total Living Area: 2297 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3 Main Level: Foyer, great room, large kitchen, breakfast, master bedroom, master bath, walk-in closet, hall, second and third bedrooms, baths and laundry. Special Features: Entertainment-friendly large kitchen built-in, great room and charming breakfast nook. Baths for every bedroom. Master bedroom, bath and spacious walk-in closet occupy entire wing of this imressive cottage. Pillared front porch. Backyard access from rear bedrooms as well as from breakfast nook.
Utility bills high? Air leaks, “phantom” power suckers, which draw energy even when they’re off, and old appliances may be to blame. Read on to learn how to spot and stop some of the biggest energy wasters. Watch the ‘Designs for Living’ in upcoming weeks for more tips. THE PROBLEM: Water heaters that are more than 10 years old tend to be lined with fiberglass insulation, which is less effective at preventing heat loss than the foam used today. HOW TO SPOT IT: Check the heater’s date of manufacture printed on a sticker or metal plate on the side of the tank. Next, touch the tank. If you feel warmth, it’s lacking insulation. HOW TO STOP IT: Wrap the tank in a precut blanket with an insulating value of at least R-8. Some utilities offer rebates on the $10 to $20 jackets and will even install one for free. To further boost efficiency, fit foam sleeves or insulating tape around pipes. If your hot-water lines are exposed, that’s a lot of energy lost as water travels through them. Covering cold lines keeps condensation from beading up on the pipes, helping to prevent mold and mildew in your basement, says Brown. THE PAYOFF: An insulating blanket alone can reduce annual water heating costs by up to 9 percent. ............................................................... THE PROBLEM: While most homeowners weatherstrip around a door jamb, they often overlook the area that lies beneath an exterior door. HOW TO SPOT IT: Close the door on a piece of paper placed on the threshold and give it a tug. If it pulls out easily, air is passing through. HOW TO STOP IT: Install a sweep seal. This metal strip with a piece of vinyl attached uses spring action to close the space between the threshold and door. There are also foam, vinyl, and felt seals that fit under the door or on the threshold to prevent air transfer. Whichever type you choose, it’s an easy DIY installation that’ll cost just $10 to $20.
THE PAYOFF: Coupled with weatherstripping, a sweep seal can prevent 11 percent of the outside air that typically seeps in around exterior doors from getting into interior spaces. That will translate into less drafts and a warmer winter experience! ............................................................... THE PROBLEM: After years of service, the adhesive on tape that seals joints between duct sections can dry out, allowing heated or cooled air to escape. Damage can also occur when homeowners or tradespeople access or work in areas where ducts are installed, such as crawl spaces, attics, and basements. HOW TO SPOT IT: With the furnace or AC on, shine a highpowered flashlight on ducts, especially at junctions where they connect with registers. “If you see where dust on the exterior of the ducts has been blown away, that’s usually the sign of a leak,” says Meeks. HOW TO STOP IT: Patch small holes or misalignments with a water-based mastic sealant and mesh tape. Use HVAC foil tape to seal joints between sections. THE PAYOFF: Cut your heating bill by 3 to 10 percent by reducing air leakage by up to 15 percent.

Laughter, challenges and projects in progress are daily items in this store. Since opening the Little Wool Shop in April of 2000, local owners Barry and Diana M. Worthington have helped finishing many projects on top of finding the right wool, yarn or supplies for it. They carry cross-stitch supplies: anchor floss, charts, beads and Aida Cloths. As well as brand name yarns and wools from around the world, such as Lace Wright, Ella Rae and Super Chunky Country Roving (aka Buffalo Yarn) and bundles of patterns. On Mondays, the Little Wool Shop turns into a classroom with classes for Brazilian Embroidery and Hardanger taught by Hilda. Drop by Mondays to Saturdays and see what this little store has to offer: It is stuffed from floor to ceiling with too many items to mention. It has everything you need and more, all colours, all weights and different qualities. And of course, check out the bins of sock yarn! Diana and Barry

Facebook a great venue for promotion
(NC) – Limited by time and resources, Canadian small business owners often view having a presence on social media channels as a daunting task. However, with more than 18 million Canadians on Facebook alone, setting up a page for your business is a simple and cost effective way to be more discoverable, build relationships with new and existing customers, and drive in-store or online sales. Here are five easy steps to amplify your social presence and help grow your business: • Say more with less: When posting
Facebook content, keep updates to 90 characters or less. People are more likely to browse short updates, so it’s no surprise that posts following this rule see 60 per cent more engagement. • A picture says a thousand words: Engage fans visually by using photos. If you’re stuck on a subject, try gsnapping pictures of your latest products or personalize the page with pictures of yourself and your workplace. Posts with images receive more engagement than those without. • Be searchable: Make sure your company’s
address, phone number and hours are up-todate on social media. As more Canadians start using Graph Search – a product that enables people to find information through the filter of their friends – having relevant and up-to-date information on your page will help your business be more discoverable. • Find the right audience: When sharing a post, make sure you’re targeting the right people. Select the target on the right side of your post to determine the audience. You will be able to target the post according to several criteria, including age, gender and location. Do you own a local floral

Use Facebook’s targeting option to drive increased traffic around Valentine’s Day by targeting people who are in a relationship in your city. • Timing is everything: Schedule your posts for the time of day and day of the week when the majority of your users are on social media.

How to adopt an innovation mind set Here are some tips on developing an innovation strategy: • With your team’s help, develop an innovation strategy on how to improve your products or services, your processes, your marketing strategy, your business model and your supply chain. Then keep it up to date. • Tap the creativity of your employees. They have intimate knowledge of your business and industry and will often be your best source of ideas. • Look for ideas and feedback from suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. It could be as simple as changing a process, adapting a product to a new market or exploring new ways to reach customers. • Invest in capital assets that improve your competitiveness, especially information and communications technology. The high Canadian dollar can make this a particularly good time to invest. • Don’t look for the magic bullet. Focus on continuous incremental improvements. • Study innovation, change and creativity. Educate yourself. Go to conferences and travel. • Take action on new ideas. Even if they fail, have faith that you’re on the path to innovation.

Loans available for small businesses owners (NC) – The Canada Small Business Financing Program makes it easier for entrepreneurs to obtain loans from financial institutions because the government shares the risk with the lenders. If you’re a for-profit small business, or a start-up operating in Canada, and if you have gross annual revenues of $5 million or less, you may be eligible. Entrepreneurs may qualify for loans to a maximum of $500,000 to establish a start-up, or to expand or improve their small business. The program is available for the purchase or improvement of equipment, including business vehicles, and for renovations to leased property by a tenant. Loans for that purpose are capped at $350,000. Loans of up to $500,000, however, are available for the purchase or improvement of commercial properties. To apply, you must present your business proposal directly to a
chartered bank, or credit union. Your financial institution is responsible for approving the loan. To find a participating commercial lender near you, consult the map of financial institutions on the Industry Canada website at www. ic.gc.ca/csbfp, or call toll-free 1-866-9591699. w w w. ne w s canad a . com
