Regional directors’ pay scope expanded
The Cariboo Regional District board has endorsed changes to its Director’s Remuneration Bylaw upon the recommendations of its Policy and Procedures Committee. The changes are intended to address a number of remuneration issues because the existing bylaw is either unclear or silent to clarify them under the differing expectations directors have about remuneration for meetings and reimbursement of expenses. The bylaw currently provides for compensation at the full-day rate when two or more meetings are held on the same day and the total time exceeds four hours. The new bylaw
will add the directors’ Rural Caucus, Joint Committee, and Advisory Planning Commission meetings to that remuneration schedule for consideration, since in most cases, these meetings combine to meet the full-day criteria. Another scenario was presented where, on a regular board meeting day that runs for more than four hours, there should be remuneration for any other meeting scheduled later that evening. For those rare occasions when it is unavoidable to work more than a full day, the second meeting will be paid separately (at $75) from the board meeting ($185), if the additional meeting begins after 6

p.m. on the same day. The bylaw currently also assumes directors travel to meetings by personal vehicle, and when overnight trips are required, stay at designated commercial accommodation. The bylaw will be modified to allow for travel by means other than personal vehicle, and/or staying elsewhere, to be eligible for reimbursement of expenses up to the equivalent maximum amount. Other aspects include clarification that the definition of “total meeting time” includes any breaks, and considerations for special travel expenses for any directors with disabilities.

Civil forfeiture funds more one-way tickets to justice The Provincial Fugitive Return Program (PFRP) which recently flew its 40th accused – is receiving another $40,000 this year from civil forfeiture proceeds. The program – the first of its kind in Canada – started to return accused back to the specific jurisdiction where they are wanted for serious, violent offences in 2011. This provincial approach and ongoing financial support contributed to a 60 per cent increase in the number of fugitives returned in 2012. The province’s investment since 2008 is $213,000. This latest grant will continue to help fund fugitive transport when the jurisdiction that issued the related, outstanding warrants refuses to bear the cost. Among recent passengers are: • Kimri Arthur Edward Dial, the 40th accused sent back, who was transported from Port Alberni to Edmonton to answer to criminal charges he had evaded since 2007. These charges included aggravated assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats, possession of a weapon for
a dangerous purpose, and attempt to choke to assist an assault. • Derek Silva, arrested in April by Ridge Meadows RCMP on outstanding charges in Ontario, including sexual assault, uttering threats, assault and invitation to sexual touching. Silva, whose extensive criminal record dates back to 1996, was identified as a candidate for the PFRP by Port Mann Traffic Services. London Police Services co-operated in his return. • Justin Michael Pfaff, wanted on outstanding warrants in Alberta related to weapons and stolen property, uttering threats and other allegations. In his first month in Vancouver, Pfaff had a dozen distinct interactions with police, leading to six more charges. BC Transit Police identified Pfaff as a PFRP candidate.

Entertainment is booked for the 36th Annual Winter Arts and Crafts Fair (WACF). The list includes all local acts and starts with Daven Mapson, a pianist and vocalist, opening at the 100 Mile House Community Hall on Friday (Nov. 8) at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 9 will see Bob Dalrymple, guitar and vocals, take the stage at 11:30 a.m. A 3:30 p.m. performance by Five Alive, a blue grass group with Pat Melanson on guitar, Noreen Schulte on standup bass, Tanya Guenther on fiddle, Cathryn Aune on mandolin and Len Aune playing banjo. Five Alive goes on again at 5:30 p.m. Dalrymple is the Nov. 10 entertainment, starting at 1 p.m. Mapson is a very talented musician and has played piano and organ at Eclectica Community Choir concerts and at the WACF in past years, says Barb Hooper, 100 Mile & District Arts
Council vice-president. “Len Aune’s group, Five Alive, all live in the area. This is the first time Five Alive is playing for the WACF and we hope to get them back again. “[Dalrymple] knows Gordon Lightfoot and many other musicians. He has a ton of stories he loves to tell about some of the great musicians of our times. “He has a huge repertoire and his voice is very easy to listen to. Bob played for the WACF in 2011, so we’re glad to get him back.” Children can also get a picture taken with Santa Claus at the fair. Graham Allison from 108 Mile Ranch is playing Santa while Monika Paterson, a professional photographer from Lac la Hache, is selling photos. On Nov. 8, they’re available from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m..

The War Amps 2013 address label mailing is on its way to British Columbia residents starting this week. Its theme, “Where It All Began,” pays special tribute to the association’s 95th anniversary. For Karl, “it all began” with an accident when he was a toddler. In the letter accompanying the mailing, he describes how The War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP) was there for him after he escaped his play area to explore the family farm and ended up losing his right leg in a
grain auger. “For tu n ate ly, CHAMP had been launched just two years before, and the first thing my family learned was that there would be help whenever we needed it,” Karl explains. “As I grew up, The War Amps support for artificial limbs, vast information and regional seminars gave me all the tools possible for my independence and success. They also gave me a motto that has stuck with me all my life – it’s what’s left that counts!” Continued on 12
