More unions have recommended acceptance of the B.C. Liberal government’s offer fiveyear agreements with extra wage increases tied to economic growth. Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced three tentative deals on Nov. 3, with British Columbia Government Employees’ Union and other unions representing 51,000 people in community social services. Combined with members of the Health Sciences Association, whose negotiators endorsed a five-year deal last week, one-quarter of B.C. public sector employees are being asked by their unions to vote yes. The agreements include guaranteed wage increases of about 5.5 per cent over five years, plus extra money in years where the B.C. economy grows beyond independent forecasts. The latest deal covers direct government employees, home support workers, alcohol and drug counsellors, adult day centres, child development centres and mental health group homes. De Jong said the “growth sharing” concept is a first for B.C., and five years is

unusually long for provincial government deals. Another first is to have substantial settlements four months before the existing contracts expire. “I think they do signal a strong working relationship and one that is evolving in very positive ways,” de Jong said. BCGEU, which represents some of the community health workers, said the latest agreement also includes wage adjustments for some job categories. Other improvements include mileage and meal allowances equal to its public service agreement and removal of a pre-existing condition restriction for long-term disability. The growth sharing formula is based on the finance ministry’s economic forecast council, private sector experts who estimate growth in January as the provincial budget is being prepared. If actual growth exceeds projected growth, it means $200 million more for the provincial treasury, which would be shared 50-50 with unionized employees for that year. De Jong said if the formula had been in place for the last 12 years, there would have been extra money in six of them.

According to Bridge Lake Elementary School’s Parent Advisory Committee

co-president Denise Waldner, the annual dinner auction on Nov. 22 was a terrific success. She credits Kris Verheul and Ed Stacy with what was called “the best dinner ever,” and Donna Nivison, auctioneer extraordinaire, for its success. Donna introduced auction item donors who were present and sincerely thanked them. “She was amaz-

ing,” said Denise. The chefs cooked 150 dinners and served 120, so the remaining food was immediately turned over to Bridge Lake Community School’s Meals on Wheels program, Denise added.

Representing the South Cariboo Health Foundation board, Ralph Fossum, left, chair Mary Shennum, second left, and Joanne Lapin, right, gratefully accepted a $2,000 cheque from BMO Bank of Montreal branch manager Kerry Patterson on Dec. 3.The money was earmarked for the 100 Mile District General Hospital’s chemotherapy consultation room.

BMO branch gives back

Carole Rooney Free Press

The local BMO Bank of Montreal branch is donating $3,000 to local charities. 100 Mile House BMO branch manager Kerry Patterson says when it raised the money, the team at the bank put there heads together to decide who the recipients would be. “We won a couple of BMO contests in the summer for sales that we had in the branch. So, we decided we wanted to donate that money back into the community.” The group then looked at the needs of the local community and discussed it with their workmates to come up with a plan. It was decided that the first $2,000 would go to the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF), but earmarked the money specifically for the chemotherapy consultation room at 100 Mile District General Hospital. “We have a couple of members here on our team who have been affected by cancer recently, and one of them is going through treatment at the chemo

clinic here in 100 Mile. So, we wanted to put the money back into the clinic.” The other $1,000 was allocated to KidSport, which Patterson notes also stays in the community. “We believe that kids should be able to play sports, and it is a big way to help toward their fees and [gear] for people who can’t afford to put their children into sports.” Patterson explains it hasn’t yet been determined what the donation for the chemo clinic will be used for, since the SCHF must obtain purchasing approval from Interior Health, which kicks in 60 per cent of a total donation. However, the BMO team hopes it might be something like iPads to give the patients something fun to do to help pass the time, she adds. The health-care professionals at the chemo clinic have been “absolutely amazing” to BMO’s staff currently going there regularly for treatment, she adds, so they wanted to give back to them, and to the patients. “So, if future patients are there receiving treat-

ments, then maybe it will be just a little bit more enjoyable, if possible.”

WRAP

This dinner is a Christmas gift in the form of a complimentary dinner and fellowship for the public. The organizers are planning the evening to reach out to the entire community in the spirit of the season. It is sponsored by the Christian Churches of 100 Mile House.

Have a safe and happy holiday season MLA REPORT Donna Barnett

With temperatures going down and decorations going up, the season has begun. This is the perfect time of year to spend time with friends and family. As we move into winter, however, it’s important to keep safety in mind as we drive across town, or out of town, to visit our loved ones. Snow and ice can make road conditions dangerous around this time of year, but with a bit of preparation, we can make sure that we and our loved ones stay safe. Some important precautions to take during the winter include checking current road conditions, planning your route ahead of time, leaving plenty of time so you’re not rushing, learning winter road skills, leaving plenty of room between you and the vehicles ahead of you, and having an emergency plan in case anything happens. One of the best places to learn about winter road safety is on the

ICBC website at www. icbc.com/roadsafety. There, you can learn about how to prepare your car for winter, and get tips on what do if your car is hydroplaning, or if you find yourself driving on black ice. By knowing how to deal with these types of conditions beforehand, you can prevent accidents from happening. Another great resource is the DriveBC. ca website, which can help you plan for road conditions before you set out on the road. By checking ahead, planning your route, and making sure you are prepared for the conditions you’ll be driving in, you’ll help make the road safer not only for yourself, but also for everyone around you. Remember to celebrate responsibly this winter, and if you’re planning on drinking, make sure you have a safe way of getting home.

We invite all bereaved parents and their families to join us at this special service as a way for bereaved families to honour the memories of their children.

We will also have a remembrance table if you would like to bring a picture of your child. If you plan to attend our candle lighting service OR are unable to attend but would like a candle lit in memory of your child, please phone Tawna at 250-644-1239 before December 4th. This will ensure that your child’s name will be on the list. The Memorial Service will be held on DECEMBER 8th, 2013 at 2:00pm at BJ’s Donut & Eatery, 305 Birch Ave., 100 Mile House.

Non-perishable goods and food items, plush toys and colourful gift boxes are piled high in the entrance room by a Christmas tree and a sign that says “Santa’s Corner.” 100 Mile House residents and businesses have been very generous, says office manager Sandy Davidson. “The rhythm is going now.

The Lac la Hache Community Hall “Celebrate the new look” concert on Nov. 16 by Elvis Elite tribute artist Steve Elliott was a “smashing success,” says Jeanette McCrea, event organizer. “It was an absolutely awesome evening.” Guests were up dancing all night long to the songs of Elvis and Elliott even added some Roy Orbison and a few other oldies to the mix. McCrea notes the funds raised during this event will go to maintenance of the hall. The show was such a great success that McCrea is planning to bring Elvis back to Lac la

In addition to performing in Lac la Hache on Nov. 16, Elliott did a short performance sponsored by Larry McCrea Law Corp., for the residence of Fischer Place, Mill Site Lodge and Carefree Manor in the Fischer Place Cafeteria on Nov. 17. He was well received and put smiles on all the residences’ faces, bringing back memories of

He thanks principal Shawn Nelson and the Forest Grove Elementary

School staff and Parents Advisory Council (PAC) for putting on a fantastic event.

The students did an

Harvest Dinner The school’s annual Harvest Dinner was a huge success, Carpenter notes. Although Mother Nature did not co-operate and the roads were terrible, there was still a good turnout and there was some money made that will go towards the school year-end field trip. The stew was prepared by the PAC and all the vegetables came from the school garden that was planted, cared for, and harvested by all the students. “Other than that, we are continuing to work on green initiatives around school, striving for growth in our student’s literacy and numeracy skills, as well as giving them lots of opportunity to participate in hands-on learning both in the classroom and outside,” Carpenter explains.

Free Christmas meal offered

Gaven Crites Free Press

Organizers expect the 100 Mile Community Hall to be jam packed with a hungry mass of folks on Dec. 14 for the annual Community Christmas Dinner. Tons of work and preparation goes into the complimentary meal, which feeds between 400 and 450 people, says Gudrun Schneider, an organizer with the Christian Churches of 100 Mile

House and area. “That is a big number,” she says of the mouths to feed. “It’s open to the public, but it’s mainly addressed to the people who are not so fortunate and can’t afford a nice Christmas dinner. “It’s usually for the less fortunate.” Ham, mashed potatoes, vegetables and “lots of desserts” are on the menu this year. Doors at the community hall open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner starts at 6.

Now in its 20th year, Schneider says the event wouldn’t be possible without the support of local businesses and volunteers.

Folks only need to bring their appetites and there is no need to pre-register from the popular Community Christmas Dinner.

The British Columbia environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea. Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating. The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments. “While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our coast.” The three-volume report also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now. Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about one-third of which is crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year. The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers down the B.C. coast to United States refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recovery in summer and three per cent in winter. One scenario examines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in summer conditions with daylight-only operations. Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour. The federal government has launched its own research project to model the drift and behaviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded marine weather forecasting to facilitate shipping.

Joint Replacement Patients offered help with recovery

Physiotherapy plays a key role in helping the more than 80,000 Canadians who have total hip and knee replacements get back on their feet each year. After joint replacement, people typically tend to be less active than their peers. However, by seeking the help of a physiotherapist, joint replacement patients can reap the benefits of physical activity after surgery, including improved fitness and mobility, better balance, lower risk of other health problems and an overall improved quality of life. By working closely with a physiotherapist post-surgery and following these Physio-4 Tips for Joint Replacement, patients can look forward to returning to a more active lifestyle. 1. Joint replacements require precautions and restrictions in movement. Based on instruction from your surgeon, your physiotherapist will advise you on activity and exercise from day 1 to maximize your function within the restrictions. 2. Seek to gradually do 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity per week,

even in 10-minute bouts. Physiotherapists and surgeons recommend walking, cycling, swimming, water exercises, golf and weight training to start. With experience, you can resume skating, skiing and Pilates exercise. Your physiotherapist can provide you with an exercise program that helps regain your strength, flexibility and balance needed to safely resume these and other recreational activities. 3. Activities that are stressful on your new joints or put you at risk for injury are not recommended. These include high impact and contact sports, such as baseball, basketball, jogging, racquet sports, soccer and hockey. Your physiotherapist will advise you on the best activity and exercise options from day one to maximize your dayto-day function and overall fitness within the restrictions. 4. Do not progress off walking aids too soon, as limping puts abnormal forces through your new joint and other joints in your legs and back. Work closely with your physiotherapist to find the right pace at which to increase your walking and reduce

your need for walking aids. To learn more about how physiotherapists keep British Columbians moving for life, visit movingforlife.ca.

Greenbelt Commission gives report on recent work being done at the 108 Mile Ranch 108 Mile Ranch

Reg Berrington 250-791-9235

berringtonservices@shaw.ca

This year, the grass grew so much in the 108 Mile Ranch greenbelt lands, the Green Belt Commission decided to bring in reinforcements to help out. This was in the form of a herd of cattle, and with the herd’s ability to eat a lot at the salad bar and fertilizing at the same time, the fire hazard was reduced. One of the problems with cattle is they like to test the fences surrounding the area and the fences get broken. It is the old story of the grass is always greener on the other side. Repairs and upgrades will be made in the spring. The commission is

also involved with fuelreduction work. This involves the removal of old trees and debris in the greenbelt areas. Work started a year ago in an area near Kincum Road and another area is to be done below Gloinnzun Crescent and Kallum Drive. The UBC Research of Forests suggests all lots in the 108 be cleared of unwanted trees and debris to help reduce the fire hazard.
