BCTF and BCPSEA divide remains Teachers will help supervise exams, provide Grade 12 marks, percentages
Carole Rooney Free Press
The ongoing maelstrom of labour unrest and school disruptions affecting education in the province has spiralled further downward with full strike action beginning June 17. Meanwhile, the Labour Relations Board (LRB) has granted an Essential Services Order requested by the B.C. Public School Employer’s Association (BCPSEA) to mandate teachers to invigilate (supervise) Grade 10-12 provincial examinations wherever administrators cannot easily do so. School District #27 schools superintendent Mark Thiessen says the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) notified all school districts last week that they would withdraw teaching services beginning the day before the strike, as a “study session” day on June 16. Due to the full withdrawal of teaching services, schools considered June 13 as the last day for this school year, he explains. Thiessen adds students were encouraged to clean out their desks and lockers and take home all of their school supplies. “While there is a possibility that a provincial
agreement could be reached, and schools could be back in session before the end of June, schools are planning as though students will not be back at school this year.” Noting an exception to the absence of all teachers will be made for the provincial exams, which will be held on their regularly scheduled dates and times. “Buses will be running for all students taking provincial exams over the next two weeks.” Thiessen explains students will be able to enter the main entrances of secondary schools during exam times without the need to cross any picket lines. Provincial grades 10-12 exams will see management supervising the provincial exams when sufficient staff is available at the school, or a nearby school. The LRB ruling states the local teachers’ associations and school districts must work out the staff levels required for this, over and above what management staff can provide. The issue of grades 10 and 11 exams is not yet resolved, but at this point, the LRB is not requiring teachers to compile or submit grades 10 and 11 marks. The ruling points out the employer did
not pursue marks, comments, or report cards for grades K–9 in its application. Thiessen says community user groups no longer have access to SD27 school fields and facilities as of June 17. Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association president Murray Helmer says for the South End, where fewer administration resources exist, the union is working with SD27 to determine the number of teachers that will be needed to supervise exams. “For Grade 12 students, teachers provide administration with final grades and percentages only, including Grade 12 students taking lower grade courses.” The LRB also ruled teachers must submit final grades for Grade 12 students, who will receive their report cards by mail, Helmer adds. He notes teachers are not required to do the data entry work for or provide report card comments. “Grade 12 students will get a letter grade and a percentage, and that will be supplied by the teachers to the administration [for data entry].” Continued on A12

100 Mile House RCMP and Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services members marched from the detachment to the Royal Canadian Legion #260 on June 11 to watch the televised Regimental Funeral for fallen Moncton RCMP Constables Dave Joseph Ross, Fabrice Georges Gevaudan and Douglas James Larche.
Fallen police officers mourned All RCMP share in grieving for lost Moncton members
Carole Rooney Free Press
The Regimental Funeral for fallen RCMP Constables Dave Joseph Ross, Fabrice Georges Gevaudan and Douglas James Larche was held in Moncton on June 11. The 100 Mile House RCMP detachment members paid their tribute to the fallen officers by assembling en masse to watch the funeral service when it was televised live. Staff Sgt. Blake Ward said the local service was hosted at the Royal Canadian Legion #260-100 Mile House, which has suitable facilities to accommodate the “very good” local turnout for the televised service.
The local police marched from the detachment up the 99 Mile Hill to the Legion, including all but three members – and most in Red Serge – along with its traffic members, auxiliary and office staff. “It was really nice to sit there as a group to watch the ceremony and feel we were part of it even though we couldn’t be there ... to share it amongst ourselves as far as members go, and to be there to support each other in watching these funeral services,” said Ward. It was a moving service to witness, he added. “This is a very difficult time for all of us in the RCMP. Even though we are a large police force going across Canada, we are still very much a family unit, and to have something
like that happen to us, even across the country like that, it still affects us here.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke at the service in Moncton. The nation’s leader noted it was an “occasion of profound sadness and a time of searing grief ” shared by all Canadians, but nowhere more profoundly felt than in Moncton, and none more so than by the families of the “three fine officers” lost in the line of duty. “... the murder of those sworn to uphold the law, those who donned their uniforms day in and day out to keep our streets safe, is an attack not only on them but upon all of us – on our families, on our communities, on our neighbours, upon our very society itself.”
Harper also wished a speedy and full recovery to RCMP officers Darlene Goguen and Eric Dubois, who were wounded in the same horrific series of shootings. Ward noted the South Cariboo reached out compassionately to the local detachment members. “It was very nice to see the outpouring of support from the community, in the local residents here providing their condolences and the showering of different gifts of appreciation.” The legion was also a “tremendous host” in allowing them the opportunity to view the local service there. “It’s very nice to see the community provide us that support at this tough time.”
Suspected thieves hide from police At 11:11 a.m. on June 13, 100 Mile House RCMP received information from Kamloops RCMP regarding a stolen 1999 Mercury Sable that may be headed north to their area. A while later, a further update was received that this stolen vehicle had been linked to a theft at the Clinton liquor store. The suspect vehicle went by police at a high rate of speed near the Highway 24 intersection with Highway 97 and was later located parked in the driveway of residence on Elefson Road, just south of Highway 24.
A search for the suspects was initiated by a police dog handler out of Williams Lake, but called off later in the afternoon when the track was lost at Highway 97. A police helicopter was also brought in for aerial surveillance. The next morning (June 14), police recognized the suspects from their clothing, and two fled into the bush. Officers arrested a 26-year-old Kamloops man, who was associated to the stolen vehicle, behind the bus depot. He had two prohibited weapons. Police Dog Services along with a police helicopter were brought back
in to assist in the search for the other missing suspects. Shortly thereafter, an 18-year-old Cranbrook man and 24-year-old Williams Lake man were taken into custody without incident at the ball diamonds in 100 Mile House. When the stolen vehicle was searched, a homemade improvised explosive device was found in the vehicle. The explosive disposal unit from Vancouver was flown in and the device was safely detonated around 7 p.m. All three men were remanded into custody for a court appearance on June 17 in 100 Mile House.
Two firearms were stolen from a vehicle in 100 Mile House in the early morning hours of June 14, which are believed to be associated to these individuals. Information led police to believe these firearms had been hidden in the bush area near the Forestry compound on Highway 97. When police went to that location, however, the firearms were not located. 100 Mile RCMP ask if these two firearms are located by members of the public, or if someone has information regarding their location to call 9-1-1 or the local detachment at 250-395-2456 immediately.
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) in 100 Mile House will have a new principal effective this summer. Vic Brett recently announced he will retire as PSO principal at the end of June. He joined School District #27 (SD27) in 1999 as a teacher, and has been principal of PSO since 2003. SD27 has appointed current vice-principal Geoff Butcher as principal, as of Aug. 1. Ty Lytton will continue in his vice-principal position.
WATERING LIMITED Water restrictions are now in effect in the District of 100 Mile House until Sept. 30. Sprinkling is only allowed 6-9 a.m. and 6-9 p.m. In addition, even numbered addresses may water only on even numbered days of the month, and odd numbered addresses may water only odd numbered days.

TOBACCO FLAVOURS NDP health critic Judy Darcy is calling on the B.C. Liberal government to protect youth health by banning the sale of flavoured tobacco. Darcy tabled the Tobacco Control Amendment Act in the legislature in April to prohibit the sale of these products, some of which are packaged to resemble candy and produce a sweet smelling smoke. The Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon, has already called for a ban, while the Heart & Stroke Foundation recommends strengthening regulations.

Foot care is important to your overall well-being.
Ingrid Meyer is the owner/operator of Ingrid’s Foot Care which was established in 2002. Diabetic Foot Care The foot is especially affected by diabetes because: • diabetes damages the nerves (damage can occur to the foot and not be detected) - this is called peripheral neuropathy. • diabetes also affects the circulation. Poor circulation can affect the ability of the body to heal when damage occurs. • those with diabetes are more prone to infection - the body’s processes that normally fight infection respond slower and often Ingrid Meyer have trouble getting to infections due to the poor circulation. • diabetes can also affect the joints, making them stiffer. • other diabetes complications that can also affect the foot, for example, are: kidney disease (affects proteins that are involved in wound healing) and eye disease (can’t see the foot to check for damage). Every diabetic should see a FOOT SPECIALIST regularly. Ingrid now has her degree as a Certified Master Pedicurist and is a member of the International Pedicure Assoc. (IPA). She has 25 years experience and takes care of ALL your special foot care needs including: Complete Nail Care; Callus Removal; Ingrown Toenails Treatment; Wart Treatment and Diabetic Foot Care. She also does HOUSECALLS. Please call to book an appointment.
It’s hard to believe it has been 15 years since I created my dream of the South Cariboo Garlic Festival. From the garlic beginning came my company “Goodness of Garlic’. I am very proud of our growth over the 15 years to now manufacturing more than 30 products with many more on the thinking block. I have my products in stores in Alberta and BC, as well Gail Szolosi as Spring and Christmas tradeshows. We have now moved into social media as well as on-line shopping. I am very fortunate to live in the community of Forest Grove which supports local enterprises. I enjoy networking with other dreamers assisting with their growth and development. “Goodness of Garlic” is proud to call the South Cariboo home and has long-term plans of growth and development. Thank you for guiding me on the path of fulfilment and success.

A new Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth has been formed in the legislature, with a group of 10 MLAs selected from across the province. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett has been appointed to this all-party government committee. She notes the group is tasked to undertake a special examination of youth mental health in British Columbia. The committee is inviting written submissions from the public, and will consult with expert witnesses as well as youth and families during the month of June. Barnett says this is “very important” because many young people have mental health challenges, but in her opinion, they are probably not getting the proper care they need. “We want to delve into it and see what the mental health issues with young people are, and what folks suggest can be done to help the system to better meet the
needs of these youth.” tee will need to first complete its Unless someone deals with consultations and investigations, this in their family every day, Barnett says. they probably don’t know what However, she notes there may the symptoms are, what be services out there now the young person needs that are quite appropriand what their issues are, ate, which the people what the solution might who need them don’t yet be and where gaps in the know about. system occur, she adds. “To be honest, we “We want to hear from don’t know what all the people who live with services are ourselves.

That is what Anne Kolodziej thought to herself. That one thought led to action which got her into fantastic shape and motivated to get certified as a nationally recognized personal trainer and then start her own business! Anne and her husband joined our community over 10 years ago. As a former teacher, the hours of sitting planning and the stress eating were adding on the pounds. With a family history of diabetes, Anne was sure she didn’t want to go down that road. She was also done with feeling out of place at the gym and couldn’t afford expensive fitness equipment that would become clothes hangers. She knew dieting was a roller coaster to failure. Anne came up with her own combination of eating smart (replacing the whites with the greens), and getting physically fit. She found that, with her husband’s encouragement and athletic knowledge combined with her own desire and positive attitude, she was able to sustain this life style for the last 3 years. Fit and Fabulous comes to you - your home is your studio! Anne brings portable fitness equipment to you, helps you modify eating habits for a healthy life style change and gives you encouragement to help you get back to proper eating and exercise when some of life’s circumstances discourage you. What’s really great is that you can have a friend or two join you and share her reasonable hourly rate! Fit and Fabulous with friends, what could be better!

Ainsworth gets back to business Mills looking forward after Louisiana Pacific deal disintegrates
Carole Rooney Free Press
The recent collapse of an agreement for Louisiana Pacific to purchase Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. has left some wondering what lies ahead for its local mill in 100 Mile House. The $1.1-billion deal with United States lumber giant Louisiana Pacific was mutually terminated on May 14. Ainsworth president and chief executive officer Jim Lake says the company is now focused on catching back up on project development, and getting back to business as

Sulphurous Lake investigates funded fire hall
Carole Rooney Free Press
Cariboo Regional District directors recently approved funding for a feasibility study to examine the potential for a CRD volunteer fire department (VFD) at Sulphurous Lake. CRD Area L Director Bruce Rattray says it is being done at the request of the existing fire departments at Sulphurous and Deka lakes. Options to be examined include a standalone VFD at Sulphurous Lake or a merged fire department with Deka Lake. Unlike Deka Lake’s, the existing Sulphurous Lake VFD is not a funded CRD function, so like all independent fire departments, it is constantly struggling to survive financially,
Rattray explains. “The first step in this [project] is to have a little funding to get some more mapping information to see who would be involved, determine the potential area that could be covered under various options, and then try to do some estimating of the potential costs and what taxation would be brought in.” The study will also look at equipment and facilities to determine what potential upgrades and how many halls would be needed, Rattray adds. He explains residents should understand this is not going to be forced upon them, and consultations and opportunities for their input will not take place for likely another year before anything concrete could happen.
“We are really talking ‘exploratory’ at the request of the two departments. But, it certainly makes sense to look at the options.” Noting many Sulphurous residents already pay voluntary fees to the current VFD, Rattray says under a CRD taxation-funded system, they might see
more updated equipment and facilities. Before anything moved forward, there would be a public approval process for determining if the residents support it, likely through a referendum, he explains. “It depends on what comes out of the study as to what the options are.”
Lake says Ainsworth is “still spending money” with an outlay of $11 million in upgrades – about $4 million of that in major investments underway at the 100 Mile House mill. He adds most of those upgrades are broken down into the three main categories – major maintenance, safety/ environmental and cost reduction projects. “Even though we felt the LP acquisition was a good thing for our employees and our shareholders and our customers, we are not discouraged at all. We’re kind of excited that we are getting back to just focusing on the business, and getting back focused on our people.”

Premier shuns refinery decisions
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Premier Christy Clark is stepping aside from any decisions related to new oil refineries after the emergence of a new refinery proposal involving her ex-husband. Mark Marissen has been hired as vicepresident of Pacific Future Energy, which announced plans to build an oil refinery in Prince Rupert on June 10. “I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial c on f l i c t - of - i nt e re s t commissioner for guidance.

MLAs should remove themselves from participation if a situation is likely to lead to a perception they may personally benefit. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth called it the right decision. “It’s important that the premier is held to a higher standard,” he said. The B.C. Liberals 2013 election platform backed the concept of Black’s refinery plan and pledged to support its development. Black said he met last year with Pacific Future’s Mexican backers, who initially wanted to partner with him on the new refinery. However, he said they were only interested if they got majority control, something Black rejected as against Canada’s interests and potentially leading to reduced environmental safeguards. “The good news to me is their interest vali-

Here’s somebody else who wants to do the same thing.” There have been no further talks on joining forces, he added. Black said he’s not concerned about provincial bias arising from Marissen’s role. “I’m not asking the province to pick a favourite or anything, but I do hope they endorse the concept and provide funding for the concept so we can move ahead.” Black said he’s been told by federal officials that a loan guarantee from Ottawa is possible – but only if British Columbia also backs it. “It comes down to whether the B.C. government is keen on championing this kind of project and has money for it.”

“I
n the year 2000…” rolls off British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker’s tongue as the simple solution to decades of labour strife: simply raise provincial income taxes to year 2000, pre-B.C. Liberal levels, and the government will have more than enough money to give the teacher’s union everything they want. Fortunately, the B.C. government tracks provincial tax burdens in every budget document, and moving back to year 2000 tax levels would be an expensive proposition for everyone, especially the poor. In 2014, a two-income family of four earning $90,000 per year paid $3,199 in provincial income tax. In 2000, that identical family paid $6,234 – an extra $250 taken in income tax every month.

GUEST SHOT
he fatal shooting of three RCMP officers and the wounding of two others in Moncton, New Brunswick on June 4 was a horrific tragedy for the men’s wives, children and their families. The senseless deaths of RCMP Constables Dave Ross, Fabrice Gevaudan and Douglas Larche while in the line of duty by shooting suspect Justin Bourque have sent a shock wave of sadness across the country. While they cannot possibly feel the grief of the officers’ families, the loss of their brethren is bitter for all of the men and women who serve in the RCMP in Canada. 100 Mile House RCMP Staff Sgt. Blake Ward said it is a very difficult time for everyone in the RCMP. “Even though we are a large police force going across Canada, we are still very much a family unit, and to have something like that happen to us, even across the country like that, it still affects us here.” On June 11, the 100 Mile House detachment members marched to the local Royal Canadian Legion to watch the Regimental Funeral of the three fallen members on television. Staff Sgt. Ward said it was nice to be able to watch the service and feel they were part of it even if they couldn’t be in Moncton. He added it was an opportunity for the members to be together and support each other through the service. Ward noted they appreciated the Legion hosting them and the way the South Cariboo reached out compassionately to the local detachment members. “It was very nice to see the community provide us that support at this tough time.” Our RCMP members definitely deserved to be supported. The shooting deaths in Moncton are a terrible reminder of what our RCMP members do day in and day out – they put their lives on the line to protect us. Unfortunately, they generally don’t get the respect they deserve, especially when it comes to things like being pulled over for excessive speeding or CounterAttack roadside stops. However, these are the men and women who answer the calls for help when we need their protection or help. These are the folks who knock on the door when there are calls about domestic disputes. They don’t know what’s on the other side of the door, but they go in to keep the peace. They go in to save someone from being a victim of violence. It takes a special kind of person to accept the inevitable confrontation and to be a calming voice of reason in a hostile environment. These men and women deserve our respect and our support. We share their grief in the communities they protect and serve.

government was elected and the first thing they did was give a 25 per cent tax cut across the board,” he told Voice of B.C. in response to a Canadian Taxpayers Federation question on whether he supported tax increases to pay for a settlement. Instead of dinging the taxpayer for more money, the BCTF should look at what other government unions have recently settled for: future economic growth. As B.C.’s economy grows, government employees get a slice of that new revenue. It’s fair, it’s manageable, and it’s proven to be a successful formula in settling contracts for 40 per cent of the provincial workforce. Wherever you stand on the BCTF’s demands, be aware: it will cost you. And if the union gets their way, it’ll cost you a lot. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Wife disappointed with phone call To the editor: I would not normally speak publicly about something personal, but I feel that my husband has been publicly and unfairly attacked. My husband, Wayne Durk, is the senior road foreman for Interior Roads. Shortly after 7:30 p.m. on May 29, he received a call from the answering service regarding a flooded driveway. My husband called the home owner to get more information.
I have listened to Wayne take these calls for years and I could tell this was a difficult call. The homeowners were obviously very agitated. A number of people were in the background of the other line contributing to the conversation. Wayne requested they give him more specific information, so he could have someone come and look at it. He told them he wouldn’t be able to come himself as he had
had a couple of beers while he watched the hockey game. At this point they hung up on him. Wayne forwarded the complaint to his supervisor who then investigated it. The homeowners also called Al Richmond and said “that drunken employee” in reference to my husband in this conversation. As though this story wasn’t ridiculous enough, two of the women began posting nasty remarks about
my husband on Facebook. They also posted his name and phone number from their call display. Wayne wasn’t at work and he wasn’t on call, so I’m not sure why he needs to defend himself for any of this. Also the driveway was inspected by two Interior Roads employees and one employee from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
The flooding was found to be because of the homeowners neglect to clear their driveway culvert. I have been listening to my husband take these calls for several years and generally people are not like this. I am so disappointed in this behaviour from neighbours and a public representative. Marguerite Durk Lone Butte
Sugar intake dangerous Bungling delays infrastructure dollars To the editor: As a retired dentist and politician, I have seen the effect of high sugar consumption contact not only in the health of individuals but the impact on the ever increasing cost of health care as well. I hope sharing this perspective can help readers consider a positive purchasing option for beverages when at the grocery store next time. There is a real concern about British Columbia’s rapidly increasing obesity rates from a general health perspective, which, of course, also is a concern for our mouths. Our mouths and teeth are affected and impacted by what we eat and drink of course. In the 25 years I practiced dentistry, I witnessed first-hand the impacts of increased consumption of sugar in the mouths of children and adults diets and the impacts on their mouths. Pop was, and is, a major contributor to poor dental health.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for added sugar consumption to be limited to no more than 100-150 calories per day. Yet there are over 200 in one typical sized can of pop. The overall health risk of more than 150 sugar calories per day have been proven to increase blood pressure and increase risk for cancers, heart disease and type 2 diabetes and caused tooth decay and irreversible damage to people’s mouths. I am concerned that society seems to think it is OK to consume pop daily when it should be served as a special occasion option. In a province that claims to have some of the best water available in the world, perhaps a daily water intake of three to four glasses would be the obvious and healthier alternative. Dr. John Weisbeck Kelowna
To the editor: We’re well into the 2014 construction season. The new “Building Canada” infrastructure fund (BCF) was supposed to be up-and-running on April 1, but not a wheel has turned. Why? It’s because of the Prime Minister Stephen Harper government bungling in Ottawa. Communities across Canada can’t get access to promised federal dollars for water and sewer projects, public transit and other infrastructure priorities because BCF application forms aren’t yet available. The provinces, which are supposed to manage the process and pick the projects, haven’t been able to get going because the feds held back crucial information until the very last minute. So much for Infrastructure
Minister Denis Lebel’s boast last March that “the entire New Building Canada Plan is now open for business.” But it gets worse. The BCF program has been severely “backend loaded.” That means there’s a big cut in federal funding right up front. The BCF has plummeted by 87 per cent – down from $1.6-billion last year to just $210 million for the whole country this year. The feds say the money they’ve cut will be replenished, but it won’t get back to last year’s level until after 2019. Cutting, stalling and complicating federal support for public infrastructure is simply foolish. It undermines what the Finance Department describes as the single most cost-effective tool to foster economic growth and more jobs. And it comes at a time
when unemployment is stubbornly high and some 200,000 Canadians have just given up looking for work altogether. We can do better. Justin Trudeau is calling for a far more ambitious infrastructure plan for Canada – one that will be truly transformative. Significant new investments will be required and strong collaboration at all levels, but the dividends will be powerful. Canada will be able to catch up faster on its debilitating infrastructure deficit. We will drive greater job creation and economic growth, and convert the value of low interest rates into long-term capital assets to underpin better Canadian prosperity and productivity. Ralph Goodale Federal Liberal Party deputy leader

BC VIEWS
“Liberal” is becoming one of the most illdefined words in Canadian politics. In British Columbia, a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation. In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion. In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit. This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C.
credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, and stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Brayden Methot was injured and remains in Vancouver General Hospital after the southbound truck he was travelling in with three other Williams Lake men crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound pickup truck on Highway 5 North near Rayleigh. The other three people in the southbound truck were treated for less-serious injuries. The lone occupant and driver of the northbound truck died at the scene. Geoff Moore of Williams Lake has developed an online funding campaign to support the Methot family, calling it the “Brayden Methot’s Get Mobile Fund!” Within 24 hours, the online campaign had raised more than $10,000. Moore said the family is in Vancouver with Methot and no one knows what their needs will be going forward. To support the Methot fund, go online to www.gofundme.com/a7rjoc.
Kelowna's rental market dries up KELOWNA - Things are looking up in Kelowna, unless you’re a renter. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation released its annual Market Survey, highlighting that Kelowna is one of the most difficult places in the country to find rental accommodation. The rental rate dropped from 4.8 per cent in April 2013, to 1.5 per cent April 2014. “There are a number of factors that explain why the vacancy rate moved lower,” said Paul Fabri, market analyst with the Kelowna office of CMHC. University enrolment rates have gone up and that’s brought more residents to the valley. In the last year fewer new, purpose-built rental buildings have come on stream. Also, the employment rate for the first five months of the year showed an uptick, which means there may be more people looking for homes in the area. The most pronounced change, however, is likely due to a rebounding real estate market.

My favourite spots are sitting beside one of our beautiful lakes we have, or out on them fishing in my belly boat. I caught a 7 1/2 pounder in Irish Lake last week.
I love Centennial Park. The walk to the waterfalls is one of my favourite places. It is hard to choose because there are many so places I enjoy.
I would say it is Bridge Creek. Usually I go through Lone Butte when I visit it, where the community still has the quiet and gives you that feeling of really being out in the bush.

Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a cooler room. It seems that keeping your nighttime bedroom temperature between 15.5 and 19ºC (60-66ºF) is ideal. It helps cool down your body’s core temperature which helps you to sleep better. If you always seem to be warm, try a cool shower before bed. One type of exercise that has become popular in recent years is interval training. This combines short bursts of intense activity (intervals) with lower intensity periods of activity. The activity can be swimming, running or even walking. If you use walking as your exercise of choice, warm up first then walk really briskly for 30 seconds then slow down and let your heart rate normalize then repeat. Check with your doctor first if you plan any new exercise activity.

100 Mile Fire-Rescue crews kept hopping
Carole Rooney Free Press
100 Mile House FireRescue has been kept busy in May and June, assisting with motorvehicle crashes, medical emergencies and fires. Chief Darrell Blades says crews responded to a blaze reported shortly after midnight on June 3 at Exco Industries on the Exeter Truck Route. When crews were called out for a fire alarm at the local business they responded with three trucks, a command vehicle and 13 members, he notes. Blades adds that, upon arrival, firefighters found the building on fire with a lot of heavy smoke, but not too many flames remaining. “Luckily, all the interior doors were closed in the building. So the fire basically consumed all it

could in the hallway and reception area, and was contained in there.” This limited structural damage to the first floor with smoke damage throughout other parts of the building, he explains. Regarding reports that fuel was used to ignite the building, he notes only that the fire
is of a suspicious nature and an RCMP investigation is underway. “I don’t know if we have identified the combustible liquid.” A fire broke out in a pile of rubbish the next evening, on June 4, that ignited the wall of the Sundial Apartments building on Birch Avenue.
“It burnt up the side of the building. There was a property management person there, throwing buckets of water on it trying to keep it down, so it was actioned quickly by fire crews and there was minimal damage.” Since they were all gathered at the fire hall for practice that evening, a large group of
On June 11, 18 members with three engines responded to a fire in the press at the Ainsworth OSB plant that was under control by the mill crew when fire crews arrived, he adds. “It was maintenance day and they were doing cleanup on the press, and they had some debris left over at the base of the press that ignited. “Because of their
about 18 firefighters and three engines turned out, he notes. “We got quite lucky with that one because if it would have got into the roof, it would have been a different story.” Blades says it is not yet clear if that fire was accidental or intentionally set, but the cause is under investigation.

District Of 100 Mile House PUBLIC NOTICE
Domestic dispute turns into violent encounter
Daryl Anderson, 45, and Alana Sinclair, 30, are facing several charges following a domestic dispute in 100 Mile House that turned violent. Around 6:45 p.m. on May 4, 100 Mile House RCMP were advised by a concerned citizen of a domestic dispute in progress at an apartment building located on the 700 block of Cariboo Trail. The first officer on scene attended the residence where he encountered Anderson and Sinclair who were involved in the dispute. While attempting to determine what was occurring, it’s alleged Anderson brandished a knife and made threat-
ening gestures to use the knife against the officer. After a brief standoff, he fled from the building. It is also alleged Sinclair then produced a knife making threats against police, as well as causing property damage to the building and harm to herself. A brief standoff ensued and she relinquished the knife to police.
Sinclair was subsequently arrested by officers and escorted to 100 Mile District General Hospital where she was treated for selfinflicted injuries and released. An RCMP member conducting patrols in the area located the male suspect on Cedar Avenue. The officer attempted to arrest him
and it’s alleged Anderson responded violently. He was subdued and arrested and taken to detachment cells. Both the suspects are residents of 100 Mile. Anderson also had two outstanding warrants for his arrest from 100 Mile House and Kamloops for assault and breach of a recognizance.

Meanwhile, the BCTF and BCPSEA presented contradictory comments June 16 on the substance of the wage offers tabled by each side, pointing to each other as holding the cards for reaching an agreement. Education Minister Peter Fassbender says a response from the union is still outstanding to BCPSEA’s latest offer. “[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and commits to realistic and flexible solutions to address class composition.” However, BCTF president Jim Iker says the government “sat on its hands for two days ...

Poverty pilot progress posted
Pilot communities gaining knowledge from MCFD education On the heels of NDP MLA Michelle Mungall’s introduction a private member’s bill proposing a British Columbia Poverty Reduction and Economic Inclusion Act in the B.C. legislature on May 6, the B.C. Liberal government and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) released their Community Poverty Reduction Pilot Projects 2014 Progress Report recently. The report highlights the importance of cross-government and community partnerships to address poverty throughout the province. When the pilot projects launched in May 2012, UBCM recommended the participating communities – Cranbrook, Kamloops, New Westminster, Port Hardy, Prince George, Stewart and Surrey – to reflect a mix of B.C.’s metro, urban, rural and remote communities. Family consultants from the Ministry of Children and Family
Development (MCFD) were assigned to work collaboratively with community partners to build local teams, with the goals of identifying the key barriers families face, connecting families directly to the services they need, and creating community plans that work towards addressing these barriers. Through their work in each community, the MCFD family consultants confirmed there is no one-size-fits-all approach to poverty. Different communities expressed different priorities based on the needs of their local families. However, a key priority in all communities was to ensure the families knew about the existing programs and services offered by community agencies and all levels of government, and that they were also supported in accessing them. According to the MCFD, families that participated directly in the pilot projects described the work as “priceless.” Their quality of life improved, barriers were lifted and stress levels declined. Many families either were not aware of the services and supports available, or did not know how to access them prior to their participation in the pilot projects. The province will continue to target initiatives that offer safe

‘Prestigious’ award goes to South Cariboo Crime Stoppers
The local Crime Stoppers group won three awards at an annual convention in Kamloops on May 3. The Crime Stoppers of the South Cariboo Society was presented with the Program of the Year Award, the Recovery Award and the Print Award. Marg Sarich, president of the Crime Stoppers of the South Cariboo Society, says the Program of the Year Award is “quite prestigious.” The group has a tipto-recovery ratio 10 per cent higher than others around the province, she explains. “I think we have active people in the community who know about the program and use the program, and I think our local [RCMP] detachment works very hard. If they don’t solve [the cases], we wouldn’t get that type of ratio.” The Recovery Award and Print Award were

For the right reasons
This little town is “super impressive,” says 100 Mile House Relay for Life organizer Alaina Fryer. The local fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society raised $22,595 on June 7. It was a quiet year for the number of teams registered in the fun and non-competitive 12-hour relay, which saw live entertainment and participants in colourful costumes in Centennial Park from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. However, it still managed to raise a little more than last year’s
event. “There wasn’t a lot of foot traffic, but it was nice because it was that close-knit community kind of feeling,” Fryer explains. “Everybody was there for the right reasons.” Relay for Life, held in cities and towns across Canada, raised $46.5 million for cancer research last year. Fryer adds all the community support, teams, volunteers and sponsors were appreciated. “A big thank-you [goes] to everyone involved.”

Aboriginal Day is being celebrated by the Canim Lake Band on June 21, and the public is invited to attend the event. Organizer Pam Theodore says it takes place in the IR#1 Main Village at the Eliza Archie Memorial School grounds from noon to 4 p.m. “This year, as in the past, we will start with a traditional sunrise sweat, hosted by Chief Mike Archie at 6 a.m.” Afternoon activities include novelty races for the youth and traditional drumming and dancing by band members sharing fancy shawl, traditional and jingle regalia. Display booths will include arts and crafts made in Tsq’escenemc (Shuswap) style by local artisans. She adds learning booths will educate people about cultural activities, including drum making, beading, dream catchers, games, medicines, foods, ethnobotany, crafts, baby cradles, cedar baskets, hunting, fishing and trapping. “Our people continue to use our resources found within our territory, including foods gathered [berries, plants and animals] and plants used for daily needs [birch baskets, willow cradles] and animal hides.” A bannock contest will see partici-

Theodore says Lahal games can be observed by the public, or they may choose to participate. “Teams will play a traditional stick game that displays skill, cunning and good singing voices – fun to watch, fun to play. Traditionally, this game was played to honour loved ones, a chance for families to share items as prizes and to sing their loved one to a better place.” The popular Amazing Rez Race will also return this year, where teams of four or more (with at least one child, youth, adult and elder) can compete. “Each clue solved leads to the next challenge and clue. It is necessary that each team have someone who is familiar with our language on their team.” A lunch of Indian tacos (hot bannock, chili, and taco toppings) will be provided for $7 per plate by the band’s youth athletes and their parents as a fundraiser for travelling to the North American Indigenous Games this summer. Most activities are free, but there may be a nominal charge for materials in some of the activities, Theodore notes. The band will also have an Aboriginal Day display at the Royal Bank in 100 Mile House June 18-21.

A beautiful round
Forty golfers teed up and let fly under beautiful conditions at the 108 Golf Resort on June 3. The 108 Ladies event for the week was gross and net scores, and closest to the pin and longest drive. The group's wine challenge for the week was "odd socks," with a bonus point for picking up last week’s challenge, "favourite hockey team," after being shut out by
poor weather. Organizers say the participation has been great. Carol Ohlund and Clara Koehn scored birdies in the first flight. The first flight also saw Deb Case shoot lowest gross, followed by Cathy Waite. Low net shooters in the primary flight were Ohlund and Joanne Garrow. Lori Henderson shot low gross, followed by Lorraine
McCaffrey, in the second flight. Bev Lund, followed by Ann Pinkney, fired low net scores. The third flight belonged to Wendy Foster in the low gross department, with Deb Garrow second. Lorraine Scott shot low net in the final flight, followed by second place low net shooter Lynda Lewis. No one landed on the green on Hole 1 for closest-to-thepin (KP) honours in the first

Readying for the big show on his scorecard, and he's looking to shoot closer to par. He golfed the UBC course at a tournament last year and has been to two training camps there more recently. Being familiar with the course is a good thing, he adds. Kristin Webster is the North & Central Interior community development manager for Special Olympics B.C. She was in 100 Mile House for the practice round last week. The Canada Summer Games will be the first national Special Olympics event in B.C. since 1990, and the organization is excited about it, says Webster. “[The athletes have] been training very hard at special training camps throughout the year, getting ready for the big show. We've been prepping a lot. We're excited to welcome everybody.” The Games will fea-

Brett Tassel says he wants to make his dad proud. The 100 Mile House golfer is one of 360 athletes set to represent British Columbia at the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver July 8-12. Tassel, 27, took some time before a practice round at the Marmot Ridge Golf Course on June 10 to talk about his upcoming trip and competition. He thanks his parents, as well as local Special Olympics volunteers Keith Thiessen and Denise Barker. Tassel also mentions working on his short game – chipping and putting – ahead of the national event being held at the University of British Columbia Golf Club. He's “still getting those nines and sevens”

ture 11 sports and are expected to attract some 1,700 athletes, coaches and mission staff from across the country. Barker, the local Special Olympics program coordinator, says the fact 100 Mile House has even one athlete competing in Vancouver is huge. “We're hoping for the best. The main thing is he has fun, because this could be an opportunity that never comes again.” Tassel can qualify for the Special Olympics World Summer Games taking place in Los Angeles in July 2015. Webster says a variety
of factors go into which athletes move forward. Tassel needs to golf a great game, be a good sportsman and work hard with his coaches, she explains. “I think he has a really great shot. I wish all the athletes travelling down the best. They have all been working so hard.” Webster adds it's important people consider volunteering with Special Olympics groups in their communities. “Athletes like Brett benefit from just a few hours of time. It's really easy to get involved and it's totally worth it.”

Jackson Hooper whacked this ball for an inside the park home run in a mites softball game against Barriere during a tournament in 100 Mile House on June 7.
Rep, house teams host weekend ball tournament
The ball diamonds in 100 Mile House saw a lot of action for a minor softball tournament on June 6-8. Five local teams took the field, hosting clubs from Clearwater, Barriere, Quesnel, Prince George and Williams Lake in the mites, squirts and peewee divisions. The 100 Mile N' Hour squirt team finished second overall. Against Barriere in its first game of the tournament on June 7, the local team lost 8-7. Pitcher Colby Glen won MVP in the game. On June 8, the squirts played Clearwater for another close game, losing the game 8-7, despite some great hits by Glen and Brendan Scott. Cole Allan won MVP. In their third game, they played Clearwater again in a nail-biter, winning 7-6 with home runs by Marshall Tessaro and Virgil Kennedy. The great catching skills of Hayley Edlund won her MVP for that game. The evening game on
June 8 saw the squirts up against Barriere again. This was another great win, 8-5, where 100 Mile N' Hour came together both offensively and defensively. Matheson Wilden earned game MVP. On June 8, it was the squirts against Clearwater for first place in the division. All of the players made some awesome defensive plays and several great hits, but by the end of the sixth inning, Clearwater managed to win the game with a final score of 17-16. In the mites division, 100 Mile N' Hour dominated the tournament. Against Barriere, the local team won 17-4 and 18-2. Against Clearwater in the round robin, the final score was 20-1. Against Clearwater in the finals the morning of June 8, the entire team came ready to play and Jackson Hooper hit two home runs. MVP awards went to Reichert Sanford and Easton Mills. Two local house teams played in the tournament also.
The peewee teams, sponsored by Regency Chrysler and Timber Mart, met in the finals in a hard fought pitchers' battle between Mitchell Hooper and Trevor McMann. Andy Arnott made a great catch late in the game for Regency Chrysler, but Timber Mart came alive in the late innings and took the lead for the win. Most valuable play-
ers were Mitchell and Tanner Hooper, Mitchell Wilden, Trevor McMann and Lane Paddison. A local peewee girls team finished third and had some hard and close games. Game MVP awards went to Jenna Henderson, Danika Burwell, Kennedy Edlund, and Logan Law. "Our girls had two losses to Prince George,
which were very close and a loss by one and a tie to Quesnel," explains coach Sandy Law. "Despite our lack of wins these girls have gone from some of them never having played ball before and most of them never playing tournament ball, to playing really well in such a short time together as a team. I'm very proud of each and every one of them."

B.C. Liberal government officials say the latest problems in their new computer system for child protection files are being fixed after a week of disruptions, but the province’s independent child advocate says she’s heard that before. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond told a committee of MLAs recently that the Integrated Case Management (ICM) computer system hasn’t worked consistently since it was put in place two years ago. The system records information for social workers on threats to children, court protection orders and general information on social assistance and children in government care. The latest failure may have left safety warnings unrecorded, and social workers could be entering a home without knowing if there are weapons or other threats, Turpel-Lafond said. She called for an independent review of the $180-million computer system to see if it is adequate. “They launched this, and it didn’t work. It couldn’t print a report for court for six months. Furthermore, it has been launched in other jurisdictions and failed. The same product was used in Australia and didn’t work.” Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson assured reporters the ICM system had been restored to full operation. That changed by the afternoon question period, when NDP critic Carole James said calls were still coming in about system failures. Wilkinson said the system was being “rebooted” again after
another crash. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said social workers have backup protocols when the computer system is down for power failures or other emergencies. They take reports on paper and phone urgent information to other offices, as they do when ministry offices are closed, Cadieux said.
Mary Ellen TurpelLafond
Social Development Minister Don McRae said regular social assistance payments were processed normally on April 24, and his ministry staff has the ability to issue emergency assistance payments as needed by issuing paper cheques. Turpel-Lafond said she had a call in the past week from a father of three young children who couldn’t get a payment because no one in the office knew how to issue a cheque. She added the loss of domestic violence warnings for social workers and police is an ongoing problem. “Everybody who works in the child welfare safety system knows that you need to keep good identifying information about the adults in a child’s life,” Turpel-Lafond said. James said there have also been reports that emergency meal vouchers and grocery cards were not available from social assistance offices due to recent problems with the ICM system.

Roof collapses on Lac la Hache picnic area
Gaven Crites Free Press
A roof covering a picnic area at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival grounds – a few kilometres north of Lac la Hache – collapsed on June 4. No one was injured when the structure came down at around 5:15 p.m. It was constructed in July 2012 for the Lac la Hache Community Club. The group is having an engineer inspect the structure to determine officially why it came
down, but it appears a lack of bracing was the deficiency. Jeannette McCrea of the Lac la Hache Community Club remembers it was a windy day, but says the roof was built to withstand those conditions. “The building actually just scissored and went down,” she explains. “It is a total write-off.” The club needs to have the debris cleared by the end of June for a family reunion planned at the site, she adds. The 15th Annual South Cariboo Garlic
Festival is set for Aug. 23-24. The event draws hundreds of visitors each year and features a number of vendors and live entertainment, including an Elvis impersonator. “We’re not sure if we’re going to have something rebuilt by that time over the picnic area, but we’re definitely working on some sort of shade for the Garlic Festival.” McCrea says “thank God” nobody was in the picnic area when it collapsed. “Elvis might not have left the building.”

The Heart & Stroke Foundation Big Bike fundraiser on June 9 turned in good results from this year’s 98 riders split amongst four teams, says local participant April Roberts. “It was another successful Big Bike Ride in 100 Mile House. It rained a little, but not on the team spirit, that is for sure.” Her team, TIB Jones & Friends, raised $ 3,735, which was combined with non-rider groups Emergency Support Services/Interior Health Authority ($1,369) and 100 Mile Hockey ($490) to tally $5,594. The Williams Lake and District Credit Union-
100 Mile branch team raised $1,405, the Tim Hortons team brought in $2,048 and the Real Estate Dreamers drummed up $1,895. This all combined for a grand total of $10,942, which is “pretty darn good for our town,” Roberts explains. “Way to go participants and donators to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.” She adds this charity is a worthy cause, so annual community participation in its Big Bike event is much needed. “It is extremely important that we raise funds for foundations like the Heart & Stroke Foundation. We can’t expect our provincial and federal governments to pay for this [support], along with everything else our taxes pay for.”

Time for a historic shindig at Barkerville Barkerville Historic Town’s renowned Theatre Royal opens its 2014 season with a gala event and dance party on June 21. The event begins with the annual general meeting of the Barkerville Heritage Trust at 11 a.m. and ends with a bootstomping shindig from 9 p.m. onwards at the House Hotel Saloon. Between 4 and 7 p.m., the cast and crew of Newman & Wright Theatre Company will manage to squeeze in the premieres of two brand-new musical shows, as well as raise some muchappreciated funds in a hilarious charity auction in support of their authentic theatrical endeavours.
“Rehearsals are over, and once again they’ve been well worth the effort,” says Theatre Royal producer Richard Wright. “We are very excited to present The Return of Lafont & Ward’s Musical Revue, and our newest musical drama, Campfires & Trails: the Captain Jack Crawford Story.” Every summer season since Barkerville was first declared a provincial heritage site more than 50 years ago, a passionate troupe of actors, singers, dancers and musicians assemble in the historic town to re‐create the joy and creativity of the original Theatre Royal, which was built in 1868 to provide much-needed respite to generations
of Cariboo miners, businesspeople, and families throughout the late-19th and early-20th centuries. “Barkerville has always been fortunate to attract creative and talented people from all over the world who come together each season to help us celebrate the opening of the Theatre Royal,” says James Douglas, Barkerville’s manager of Visitor Experiences. “The Barkerville Heritage Trust is proud to support this tradition, and we are thankful to those members of our local and provincial governments, businesses, and the community at large who support us year after year.” For more informa-

Aging is a fact of life, and with it comes certain senior health issues. Many people worry about cognitive decline and weaker bones, but there are other, lesser-known concerns, too. Getting older involves change, both negative and positive, but you can enjoy aging if you understand what’s going on with your body and take steps to maintain your health.
RetiRement: How mucH is enougH? Remember, there is no magic “enough” amount that you will require in retirement, each individual case will be different; it really depends on your lifestyle needs. Typically, it’s somewhere between 50% & 80% of your income while you were working. The reality is that the majority of people are heading toward a retirement lifestyle that’s in keeping with whatever amount of money they have at hand. Your retirement plan should tell you how much you’ll have in retirement based on your current savings, how much income that will generate and how long it might last. At our office, we will prepare a financial plan by carefully considering your needs, goals and dreams in order to implement a well-constructed plan, so that you can have peace of mind about your hard-earned money and financial future.

Smirfitt says the June 24 cafe is about providing information, input and expertise and ultimately forming solutions to each of the areas outlined above. “We want seniors from the greater area to have conversation about their interest area to share information, build connections and get to know each other.” Fossum says they want folks to discuss next steps, priorities and start thinking about s o l u t i o n s . He notes they will go over what seniors have told them during the earlier assessment process, and then get people into smaller groups so they can participate in areas they

Firing on all cylinders New golf instructor a 'perfect fit' at 108 Resort
Gaven Crites Free Press
M
ary Lui’s e-mails are full of exclamation marks and smiley faces. When you meet her in person, she’s one big smile, and you get a hug. She calls you “Love” or “Lovely.” Then she fixes your golf swing. Andy Wahnschaff, head professional at the 108 Golf Resort, says the club’s new golf instructor is a perfect fit. “She’s got the credentials. If I was to describe Mary, she’s a kindergarten teacher who knows how to teach golf.” Enthusiastic, smart and bubbly, Lui is “exactly what this resort needs,” Wahnschaff adds. Originally from Vancouver, she started golfing about 14 years when she moved to Europe. She has lived in London, Switzerland and California, constantly upping her knowledge of the game with an unyielding persistence that might border on obsession. She was under the tutelage of Mac O’Grady, a renown American golf teacher and former PGA Tour member, who held his elite schools in Scotland. Lui’s golf teaching credentials come from the United Kingdom PGA. She was also a mental game coach on the European PGA Senior Tour. As a golf student, Lui was
relentless. She needed to know “why-why-why-why-why” about everything, and some of her old coaches just couldn’t tell her. One day, while still a recreational golfer, she was asked to start a class she was taking because the instructor was running late, and she was good at it. She had a knack for teaching. Lui, now a 108 Mile Ranch resident, refers to herself as a “golf geek.” If you tee up a ball
“
If I was to describe Mary, she’s a kindergarten teacher who knows how to teach golf. – Andy Wahnschaff
in front of her, she gets excited about your swing, whether it’s good, bad or ugly. She has a program on her iPad that records your movements and lets her slowly replay them over and over. She breaks them down. She sees where you can be better, and she tweaks. She talks about lines and angles you probably never heard of. Then Lui draws those same lines for you on the iPad screen and you understand. There’s a good chance she cares about your swing more than you do. If you listen, you eventually start hitting the ball better. “This whole thing is my transition,” explains Lui, who
did teach for a while at the 108 Golf Resort last summer, but couldn’t commit to the area full time because she was travelling back and forth to Vancouver to help care for her father going through chemotherapy. Her philosophy: “Anyone can hit a bad shot. It’s all about how you recover.” Also: “Live in the moment. Be in the moment.” Lui says she is honoured to be attached to the 108. “I’ve played on and walked through world-class courses in Europe, in Scotland, in America, and [this course] is quality.” With the addition of Mary, Wahnschaff says, the resort is able to facilitate all coaching and education needs. “I think we’re hitting on all cylinders now when it comes to teaching golf here.” The 108 Golf Resort’s spring program, for junior and adult golfers, runs until July 3. The club is also one of over 50 facilities throughout the province participating in Canucks Junior Golf Week. The Vancouver Canucks and PGA of British Columbia are putting on a golf camp for youth aged five to 18. Lui is leading the local camp on July 5 from 10 a.m. to noon, and on July 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information or to register, contact the club at 250-791-5212. “I’m here for anyone who wants to learn golf,” Lui adds. “It’s what I love to do.”

Students have a great trip to Barkerville LAC LA HACHE
Monika Paterson 250 395-0918
llhnews@gmail.com
Lac la Hache Elementary School principal Steve Carpenter says the June 2-3 field trip to Barkerville was “wonderful.” The class left the school at 5:30 a.m. and travelled to Barkerville, making a stopping in Williams Lake for breakfast. When they arrived in Barkerville, they participated in a mining demonstration where they got to see how the old Cornish wheel used to help pump water out of the mine shafts and raise and lower the workers into the mine. They also witnessed the sluice box in action and all the children
were hired for $1 a day to work on the Sheep Skin Mining claim. Then they made their way to the old school house for an 1876 school lesson with Mrs. Thompson, the local head mistress. Following that they split up with the intermediate students heading to the grave yard to find graves of the characters mentioned in Your Time, My Time, a book they read aloud in class. The primary students stayed in their groups and explored China Town. That evening they stayed overnight at the Wells Elementary School and lights out was by 8:15 p.m. Carpenter says he didn’t have to ask anyone to be quiet once as they were asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. Day 2 saw them make their way back to Barkerville where they got to pan for gold and everyone scored big with 5-11 flakes of gold.
Volunteers needed
Parkside Art Gallery & Gift Shop is experiencing a shortage of shop volunteers, which has resulted in gallery closure for some shifts. The goal is to keep the gallery open from Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Weekday shifts run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or 1 to 4 p.m. Full training and orientation is provided for volunteers and a detailed procedure book for easy reference has been compiled. A buddy system can be used. If you can help, please call 250-395-2581 and leave a message for Roni.

ocal artists have a new place to show their stuff. Walk into the District of 100 Mile House office and stand at the counter and you’ll see paintings by Patsy Granberg currently adorning the back walls. Granberg, a volunteer with Parkside Art Gallery, is organizing the new initiative in partnership with the District, which requested the local art gallery’s assistance in decorating its newly painted office on Birch Avenue.

“Since being here, and joining the different art groups, I’ve been taking some painting classes and branched out.” On display now are two pieces. One, a large painting done from a photograph Granberg took of
her son riding his horse at Green Lake. The other, another colourful piece, was done from a photo of seagulls in Nova Scotia. District of 100 Mile House chief administrative officer Roy Scott says the back wall, which was just

Mike Szigety, from 100 Mile House, was awarded the $500 first prize at the 27th Annual Watch Lake/Green Lake Fishing Derby on June 7-8. It was an exciting finish to the weekend and a close call as Szigety weighed in with his 3 lb. 9 3/4 oz. catch at exactly 2 p.m. - the cutoff time for all entries. The second largest fish was caught by Scott Downie of Chilliwack on Saturday and weighed 2 lb. 13 1/4 oz. The first fish caught on Saturday was entered at 5:47 a.m. by Jim Ferris and the last entry on Saturday was at 9 p.m. by Carl Johnson.

Interlakes Farmers’ Market opens If It’s newsworthy Contact Your Correspondent
The Interlakes Economic Association (IEA) is hosting two big events in the near future. The grand opening of the new Interlakes Farmers’ Market is scheduled for June 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The market is located in the Interlakes business area – across the highway from the Loon Bay Craft Market. It will be an opportunity to meet the farmers and ranchers and enjoy while checking out the fresh produce, baking, barbecue bratwurst and other delicious treats. The grand opening will include music by the 2014 Cariboo Idol participants.
The market will be held every Saturday until Sept. 13. Folks who are interested in being a vender should call Jackie at 250-593-2185.

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK ASK AN EXPERT: How can I keep my home cool in the summer?
ONE STOREY TBM1798
Total Living Area: 1798 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2
Obviously, the best way to keep your home cool during the summer is to use an air conditioner to keep the temperature down, but there are other options that don’t raise your energy bill quite significantly. Air conditioners may offer tempting temporary relief from summer heat, but they’re a huge environmental no-no. You may be cooling your home, but the fossil fuels you’re burning in the process are only making your summers hotter. This summer, turn the air conditioner off and try these environmentally-friendly alternatives instead. Try to minimize sources of heat and remove built-up heat from inside. A ceiling fan can make a room feel 6 or 7 degrees cooler, and even the most power-hungry fan costs less than $10 a month to use if you keep it on for 12 hours a day. Good fans make it possible for you to raise your thermostat setting and save on airconditioning costs. Fans don’t use much energy, but when air is circulating, it feels much cooler. Ceiling fans are best, but a good portable fan can be very effective as well. Even mild air movement can make you feel three or four degrees cooler. Also make sure your ceiling fan is turned for summer – you should feel the air blown downward. Install white window shades, drapes, or blinds to reflect heat away from the house. Close blinds, shades and draperies facing

the sun (east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon) to keep the sun’s heat out and help fans cool more efficiently. The best way to keep your home cool is to keep the heat out. Common sources of internal heat gain are appliances, electronic devices, and lighting. Be aware from where the heat is coming. Turn off incandescent lights and heat-generating appliances. Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs; they use far less energy and produce less heat. Avoid heat-generating activities, such as cooking, during the hottest part of the day. If you are cooking, use your range fan to vent the hot air out of your house. Plant trees or shrubs Deciduous trees planted on the south and west sides will keep your house cool in the summer and allow the sunlight to warm the house during the winter. Daytime air temperatures can be 3 degrees to 6 degrees cooler in treeshaded neighborhoods. Humidity makes room air feel warmer, so reduce indoor humidity. Minimize mid-day washing and drying clothes, showering, and cooking. Turn on ventilating fans to help extract warm, moist air. Avoid lots of unshaded rock, cement, or asphalt on the south or west sides because it increases the temperature around the house and radiates heat to the house after the sun has set. If the attic is under-insulated, insulate it NOW. Upgrading from 3 inches to 12 inches can cut cooling costs by 10 percent.
