British Columbia doesn’t currently need a third dam on the Peace River, and it does need a comprehensive study of the environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction. John Horgan staked out those positions on May 5, his first day at the legislature since being acclaimed leader of the B.C. NDP, saying he has been consistent on both since before last year’s election. On the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to twin its oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby that former NDP leader Adrian Dix suddenly opposed during the 2013 campaign, Horgan said it’s clear to him that people in Vancouver and Burnaby don’t want it. The same goes for his own constituents along the Strait of

Juan de Fuca who are concerned about a big increase in tanker traffic, he added. However, Horgan said he will wait for the current federal review process to be completed before making a decision whether to support or oppose it. He also responded to Jobs Minister Shirley Bond’s challenge during question period that the NDP find some economic development project it can say yes to. “I said yes to Mount Milligan; I said yes to Red Chris,” Horgan said, referring to two northern copper mines proposed while the NDP was in government. “I said yes to expanding the Oil and Gas Commission when it was first developed in the 1990s. I believe we can have a balanced approach to economic development and resource development in particular.” Natural Gas Development Minister Rich

Coleman rejected suggestions of hydraulic fracturing risk to groundwater before leaving last week with Premier Christy Clark for their latest liquefied natural gas sales trip to Asia. Coleman said the industry has a spotless track record after 50 years of cementing and casing gas wells to protect water while drilling far below to extract gas from shale formations. Since winning the leadership by default after his only rival, Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, dropped out, Horgan has stressed the New Democrats need to reach out to resource communities and blue-collar workers alienated by the party’s environmental positions. Horgan said he will travel extensively as leader to build support for the party, preparing it to win back support and form an NDP government in 2017.

New Internet funding for remote areas

Carole Rooney Free Press

Rural and remote areas without access to traditional broadband service can now benefit from government funding assistance. The new program offers up to 50 per cent of installation costs for Xplornet satellite service, up to a maximum of $250. The $2-million investment by the provincial government’s BC Broadband Satellite Initiative will bring affordable access to high-speed satellite Internet to remote areas of British Columbia where wired or wireless broadband service is not currently available. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says this stemmed from the work of the B.C. Rural Caucus, of which she was a member. The group travelled extensively to small communities and remote areas across the province to listen to residents about their needs and recommend changes to government. “The rural caucus identified this during the last session. One of the [items] on our rural document was broadband for rural and remote communities.” The provincial government has partnered with Xplornet Communications Inc. and local installers to provide qualifying residents with satel-

lite technology where it provides the only option for a high-speed Internet connection, she explains. Barnett adds anything that can help people, who don’t currently have access to broadband, to get high-speed service is beneficial. “They don’t have any choices where Shaw doesn’t go and Telus doesn’t go, so the only [opportunity] they have is satellite. “There are a lot of people out there who have home businesses that this would help and there are other people who do many things at home.” This includes those who homeschool, undergo correspondence education, do personal business online, and numerous other Internet activities. “Of course, there is the social aspect of it. And everybody [seems to] want you to bank online, and do this

online, or that online.” While the funding assistance does not include equipment costs, for remote customers, that is the smaller portion of the total bill for hooking up to Xplornet satellite service. Xplornet senior vice-president of busi-

Time to saddle up Clinton’s Heritage Week events will keep folks entertained

By Katie McCullough Another exciting Heritage Week in Clinton kicks off with the opening of the Clinton Museum for the season on May 16. On May 17, the 147th Clinton Annual Ball – an elegant dinner and dance with entertainment – will be held at Clinton Memorial Hall. It is thought to be Canada’s longest running annual event. Guests, who will be in period costumes, will dance to the Evergreen Drifters and enjoy entertainment by the comedian and magician Clinton W. Gray. Tickets are available by calling 250459-7725. From May 17 to 24, businesses are encouraged to participate in the Heritage Week Dress-up Contest. Judging will be done on May 23. On May 23, the Old Timers Tea will be held at the community hall from 2 to 4 p.m. This is a free event where longtime friends

meet and share stories, and wit has been the tradition to be held on the Friday before the rodeo for more than 50 years. The annual parade takes place on May 24, starting at 11 a.m. Folks who would like to participate in the parade should contact Wayne Griffith or Bonnie Stanke, or entry forms can be picked up at Integris. Following the parade,

the Lions hold their beef-in-a-bun fundraiser down town. The Lions also have free hotdogs for the children at the fire hall. The rodeo kicks off at 1 p.m. the same day, and the 4H steak dinner with all the trimmings will be available at 5 p.m. at the rodeo grounds. The rodeo dance follows the dinner at 8 p.m., and the beverage gardens will remain

The rodeo is at 1 p.m. Tickets to the rodeo are $12 for adults and $8 for students and folks over 65. Katie McCullough is the correspondent for the Village of Clinton.

Barney Bentall is back to play at the 2014 Clinton Rodeo Dance at the Clinton Rodeo Grounds on May 24, starting at 8 p.m. He’ll be playing with special guest – his son Dustin Bentall – and an opening set by the Juno nominated bluegrass band – The High Bar Gang. Barney says he will rock the May Ball Rodeo dance with a mix of country and rock, and will keep all the fans and rodeo dance enthusiasts on their feet all night long. Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. There will be a shuttle bus and an evening concession. Rodeo preparations The Clinton Ag Association (CAA) has been busy preparing for the 2014 rodeo with major upgrades at the rodeo grounds. On April 26, numerous loads of sand were hauled to the Clinton rodeo grounds and the arena footing was redone. Thanks go to Ken Bolster for organizing the crew; Michelle Shilling at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the donation of sand for the arena; the many local contractors who donated trucks and equipment; and all the drivers and operators who donated their time that weekend. The job was a major undertaking and is greatly appreciated by the CAA. The arena fence has also been painted by the David Stoddart School travel club students and Bruce Drewry, and a new dance floor has been constructed.

Following are the highlights from the April 22 District of 100 Mile House council meeting: Bylaw officer’s report The monthly C o m m i s s i o n a i r e ’s Report included numerous parking infractions in March. These included vehicles blocking

Birch Avenue in front of the 100 Mile House Community Hall during an event, a log truck parked overnight in the Blackstock Estates, and trades vehicles parked in front of a business. Four warnings were also issued for street parking violations. Other enforcement activities included following up on some dogs on the loose, barking dogs, business licence issues and a resident blowing leaves and sand onto a neighbour’s property.

“So if the additional cost was $500, then the B.C. government and the customer would share that.” More information on installations or program eligibility is online at www.xplornet.com, or call 1-866-841-6001. Barnett adds that, as funds become available, the Rural Caucus ensures non-urban areas of B.C. gets taken into consideration when these programs are put forward. “The ministers know how important it is that rural B.C. be inclusive

in services. I will keep up the rural voice.”

Day of Mourning While the District does not do proclamations, Campsall noted it would lower its flag on April 28 as requested by the United Steelworkers in recognition of the union’s annual Day of Mourning for fallen employees.

A recipe for happy family meals TRUSTED Registered dietician give some helpful to make family dinners better

Living Well Health tips… for your whole life. By Kristi Estergaard Eating with young children can be stressful, especially at dinner time. Even though I know the spilling, throwing food, picky eating, and crankiness are all normal, they are hard to face each evening. Knowing the many benefits that eating together offers my toddler – from learning more vocabulary to accepting new foods– gives me the push to continue making family dinners a priority in my home. I recently asked myself how we can make our family mealtimes a happier time. This year’s theme is Simply Cook and Enjoy. You may be wondering if the “enjoy” part is even possible when eating with young children? The answer is “yes.” During the past month, I began carefully practising what I preach. The following tips really are key: • Ensure the focus for eating together is simply to enjoy each other’s company. So much stress is lifted when I let go of being concerned about how much or what my son will eat. • On work nights if

dinner is running late, I find it helpful to offer my son a light pre-dinner snack to prevent him from becoming over-hungry. • Offer new foods along with familiar, loved foods. By doing this, it helps my son feel comfortable at meal times. • Don’t let food refusal get under your skin. Once the food is served I remove all emotional investment for the creation of the meal, and focus on my own eating, not my toddler’s. It is OK if my son does not want to eat. Coaxing or bribing children to eat

certain foods or amounts does not help; in fact, it can cause children to eat less and take longer to accept new foods. • We keep the conversation light and involve our toddler. Interestingly, by doing this it has helped decrease the amount of food that is thrown. • Keep distractions to a minimum. At mealtimes, we turn off the TV, cell phones, iPads,

and put away toys (or hide them out of site, if needed). • We keep cloths handy to catch large spills and wait until the meal is over to pick up food that has been dropped on the floor. Creating happy meal times is worth the effort. These changes have made a huge difference for my family. Kristi Estergaard is a registered dietitian with Interior Health.
