A request by the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to have a mediator assigned to find a resolution in the ongoing labour dispute has run into a snag. Education Minister Peter Fassbender agreed on June 20 to accept mediation from Vince Ready who recently helped resolve the ongoing dispute between truck drivers and Port Metro Vancouver. “Whatever it’s going to take to get an agreement, our negotiating team and this government is prepared to do what we can,” says Fassbender. However, it soon became clear Ready is not available, so a collective breath is being held by teachers, students, administrators and parents this week to see what happens next. This move toward mediation follows the June 18 presentation of the BCTF’s updated package, cutting its wage demands to eight per cent over five years from their earlier offer of 13.5 per cent over three years. However, it also asks the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) for a $5,000 signing bonus (government had offered $1,200),

The federal government’s approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline project has stirred up a well of controversy in British Columbia, and with the federal opposition parties. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says the NDP came out “pretty negatively on almost every resource project I can think of,” but have made clear statements on

oil sands, and want more increased funding transfers for health care, education, infrastructure and housing to the provinces. “We made our decision based on an independent environmental review process, not like the Opposition members, who think they should make decisions just on a whim of whether they like a project or don’t like one.” However, Premier Christy Clark and environment minister Mary Polak insist their answer to the

project is still a “no” pending four remaining conditions that have yet to be met – the fifth being fulfilled by last December’s completion of the federal environmental assessment. “We understand the economic benefits the Northern Gateway project may bring. But it will not be at the cost of our environment,” says Polak. McLeod notes the Stephen Harper government’s approval is contingent on Enbridge’s pipeline project meeting the 209 conditions recommended

by the independent National Energy Board (NEB), and imposed in the federal review. “There’s 209 other hurdles to meet, and so to me, this is one hurdle in a very extended process that’s still before this initiative.” Estimates indicate two-thirds of the province are against the project or want it postponed until further plans can be made, such as refining the bitumen into a much less toxic Continued on A5

actually happened. The new $5.2-million detachment is being constructed by Summit Brooke Construction of Abbotsford with local labour and equipment crews. By design, the exterior façade of the new 16,000-square-foot building will be a mixture of corrugated metal panels, textured concrete blocks and pre-finished metal windows. The gable-style roof will incorporate pre-finished metal panels and dormer windows that allow natural light into the public and administration areas. The main floor will have the functional police areas, administration and clerical

areas, and public entrance, while a mezzanine area will house mechanical and electrical equipment, storage and a few additional offices. Summit Brooke site superintendent Dan Norris says structural construction work is once again underway after delays due to wet weather and an unexpected two-week period to remove some refuse that turned up under the ground. The foundation is in, and Norris adds he and his crews are relieved to see brickwork and other above-ground work getting underway. “Things are changing exponentially on the job now, day-by-day. It is something to see.”

Aquatic society seeks support Board launches awareness campaign prior to survey

Carole Rooney Free Press

The South Cariboo Aquatic Society held its annual general meeting on May 27 and elected its new board. Chair Amanda Bird says business discussions mainly revolved around an awareness campaign it is undertaking this summer to highlight all the benefits the society believes a pool would bring to the South Cariboo. The campaign is intended to prepare the public for a telephone survey the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will conduct this fall, and if support is revealed then, a referendum would likely

be scheduled for next spring, she explains. “Our biggest thing is to get the awareness out there, so if people get a phone call, they have the answers in front of them, and an understanding of the need [for a pool], from our point of view.” Bird says her group also plans to produce a brochure to hand out at the South Cariboo Farmers’ Market during at least one Friday morning each month this summer, as well as at the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair in September. “It just outlines some of the facts with regard to the taxation base and where the CRD is hoping to locate things and the reasons why we believe the area needs an aquatic centre.” They will also be selling annual $10 member-

FAST bytes HWY 97 DELAYS

Carole Rooney Police, public safety and security were top priorities in the design of the new 100 Mile House RCMP detachment office. Local RCMP Staff Sgt. Blake Ward says the new building will be a significant and much-needed improvement. At almost triple the size of the current building with many added features, he notes the local police force is looking forward to moving into their new headquarters later this year or early in 2015. While an RCMP coordinator out of Regina is handling the project along with asset management in Vancouver, Ward has prior experience with the latter. “I asked right from the start to get involved with this to ensure that the detachment is not only built to meet our needs, but ... there are always these little things that get passed over because you don’t have an actual police officer involved with the planning.” Former detachment commander Brian Coldwell did a lot of the initial layout planning, but Ward is now looking at the day-today needs and ergonomics, such as furniture layout and computer local area network (LAN) drops, he explains. With 18 members and nine civilian staff and volunteers, he notes they have outgrown their existing building, so the spacious new design features several new offices for members

ships or three-year memberships for $25 at these venues and around town, she adds. Bird notes a feasibility study done in 2010 is currently being updated by a committee for certain inflationary elements, such as construction costs. Along with Bird, the new board consists of vice-chair Kathy Reid, secretary Brenda Lund, and treasurer Sue Code; directors Elaine Saunders (membership), Lori Fry (advertising/promotions) and John Code (government liaison); and Jim and Jeanette Gellein as directors-at-large. More information is posted at www.100mile needsapool.org, or follow the South Cariboo Aquatic Society on Facebook.

Folks who travel the section of highway just north of 70 Mile House may wish to take note that highway construction will begin on Highway 97 in the 74-76 Mile section on July 2. It is one of nine segments identified by the province to be upgraded in the Cariboo Connector project. For current road information, check the DRIVE BC website at www.drivebc. ca before you travel.

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK

ASK AN EXPERT: Can I trim branches off my evergreen tree?

TWO STOREY TBM2416

Total Living Area: 2416 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2.5

Get in your car, right now, and drive around your neighborhood. Between fifty and seventy percent of the pines, spruce, fir and other evergreen trees you see will have had lower branches cut off by homeowners. Perhaps you didn’t even leave your driveway. Never cut a healthy limb from an evergreen. I have never seen a tree treated thus that was not in some state of decline as a result. Cutting lower limbs off spruce is the worst offense. Spruce are designed so that the lowest branches, those that touch the ground, support the branches above, and so on, all the way to the tip of the tree. We cut the branches off around the base – I don’t know why, it’s usually a guy thing, the man of the house needs to show the world he can grow grass under there – and when winter comes the snow load collapses the branches. No problem, the branches are designed to lock together for support. Except down at the base there’s no branches, so the lowest branches are stressed or crack because they have nothing to lock down onto. Then in a year or two, those branches die. Cutting healthy branches off a pine exposes the tree to insect and wind-born fungal disease. You’re also cutting off the leaves – that’s what the needles are, leaves in needle form – that the tree relies on for photosynthesis. Removing limbs with healthy needles is the same as you losing blood. Oh, I know the big cause for it. It’s the idiot who lived in your house twenty years ago. Planted a red pine six feet from the edge of your driveway, and you thought it was magnificent until its lower limbs grew so wide they started scratching the side of the Lexus. So we make the limbs go bye-bye. What you should do is cut the tree down. That’s right, the only time it’s correct to prune an evergreen is when administering what we refer to as, “The Ultimate Prune.” Cut it down and plant an evergreen that is going to fit there in 30 or 40 years. Or cut it down because it’s a dumb spot for a tree and don’t plant another one. That red pine could have grown from seed, it served a purpose for awhile, but now it doesn’t.

108 Building Supply Main Level: Elevated entry, great room, den, open concept dining and kitchen, laundry, bedroom with ensuite.

Clear out your spruce that have had all their branches cut off up to ten feet on the trunk. Look at them, they have dead branches you can no longer reach, they were planted too close together, now they’re dying, and they look terrible. Replace them with an entirely different landscaping scheme, perhaps some pyramidal evergreens, and a collection of deciduous shrubs. Be aware that spruce are presently having a tough go of it all across the country. Cytospora canker is a fungus wiping out Colorado spruce, but can infect all spruces, red and Eastern white pines, larch, fir and hemlock. The cankers release a resin that turns bluish-white on the bark of limbs. Needles turn yellow, then brown, and the limbs die, usually from the base up. Rhizosphaera needle cast is also a fungal disease, and is easy to diagnose – needles turn brown and drop, but only second year growth. New growth is green, such that branches looks dead except for green at the tips. There is no treatment or cure (see “The Ultimate Prune,” above) for either disease, with the exception of having a tree service spray for rhizosphaera needle cast, but only if you catch it right away. So the best way to avoid these problems is to maintain healthy, well-watered, fertilized, properly spaced trees. With all their branches. www.renegadegardner.com PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED

Budworm spraying planned for region

Once again, the South Cariboo Regional Airport at the 108 Mile Ranch will be used by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) as a base for its spraying to control area populations of western spruce budworm. However, timing of the work is dependent on weather conditions, but the MFLNRO expects to be spraying for seven to 10 days from June 23 to July 5. “I am pleased to see that the [MFLNRO] will be using our facilities for the treatment of western spruce budworm in the region,” says Cariboo Regional

District chair Al Richmond. “Not only do the prescriptive treatments help mitigate the impact of the spruce budworm on our forest industry, but it also provides an economic opportunity and awareness of our airport.” The MFLNRO plans to aerially treat approximately 34,000 hectares of forest in the Williams Lake and the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Areas to reduce western spruce budworm populations. The biological agent Foray 48B will be applied by two fixed-wing aircraft weather permitting, on sites near White

Lake, Fletcher Lake, Big Creek, Gaspard Creek, Alex Lake, Westwick lakes, and San José and Pipeline roads south of Williams Lake, as well as Big Lake, Clink Lake, Alberta Lake, Big Bar Lake and Jesmond. Foray 48B is a biological insecticide that is widely used in British Columbia and is registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute. The active ingredient in Foray 48B is the naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk). According to the ministry, this spray affects only moth and butterfly larvae and can be

oil before it ships off the coast at Kitimat. The port city of Kitimat, environmentalists, other concerned citizens and 31 First Nations groups from Northern, Coastal, Vancouver Island and Interior regions openly and strongly oppose the project, and say they will “vigorously” pursue legal means to block the project. “We will defend our territories whatever the costs may be,” they state in a joint news release. McLeod says Enbridge “clearly” has a lot more work to do, not only in meeting the 209 conditions, but also in presenting a plan for which the province will agree to provide the (60) necessary permits. “I think it’s important to note that I believe a significant number of these recommendations also speak to the need to have further conversations with the Aboriginal communities.” The NEB will be monitoring the project’s success in moving forward based on these conditions, she adds. “As the federal government – that has a regulatory role – we made our decision based on the recommendations that said if these 209 conditions, and plus the four from B.C. are implemented it can be done in a way that’s safe for the environment, safe for the community.”

In response to concerns over a major environmental catastrophe caused by a pipeline rupture near a river or an oil tanker spill off the coast, McLeod points to current transport methods of tanker trucks and railway cars as being more hazardous. “The pipeline method of moving oil is significantly safer. And, certainly as we drive our highways or look at the rail lines that move along the river, there must be a full response system in place.” Technology is moving forward on strong spill response methods and on preventing “mishaps” from occurring in the first place, she explains.

“I’m more comfortable and confident in terms of the mass movement of our oil products that a pipeline is a very safe way to move oil. “The ability to prevent, respond and mitigate is absolutely critical in the very rare instance of an issue.” McLeod says the ability to get Canada’s oil to market is “obviously essential” to the nation’s economy, and to a certain degree, to society’s reliance on oil. “My personal opinion is that I am comfortable with the decision we made based on the independent recommendations of an independent panel.”

used safely around humans and other animals. Birds, household pets, fish and beneficial insects are not affected. The western spruce budworm is native to British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas-fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees. A budworm outbreak has the potential to seriously harm or kill trees over large areas.

Economic growth = higher wages

hatever the final government deal is with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation and whenever it’s settled, the BCTF must quit opposing economic growth if it ever hopes to accomplish its long-term salary and class size goals. The BCTF’s long-held desire to go back to year 2000 tax levels in order to fund raises for teachers, would gut most families financially – B.C. budget documents show a twoincome family of four, making $90,000 annually, would pay $6,234 a year in provincial income tax, nearly double what they pay today. Taxpayers can’t afford that kind of hike, and the B.C. government knows it. That’s why they are focusing on growing the B.C. economy to generate more money from sources other than taxpayers. But the BCTF, inexplicably and wildly overstepping its bounds as a union meant to represent the interests of

GUEST SHOT

omewhere in the ongoing contract battle between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Liberal government, doing what is best for our children/students got lost in the rhetoric over contract costs. Both sides are blaming each other for the escalated strike because of unrealistic bargaining. Both sides are blaming the other for the disruption for the students and parents caused by the strike action. The “negotiations” started as a push by teachers to make the classroom environment a better place to educate our children and then a sizable raise to bring their wage levels up to par with educators in other provinces. The goal for the B.C. Liberal government, through its negotiators the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), was to get teachers to sign a long-term contract with minimal wage increases, such as those already signed by other public sector unions. The negotiating game saw the BCTF providing a high-ball offer and the BCPSEA countering with a low-ball offer. Then the rotating strikes started throughout the province and Education Minister Peter Fassbender introduced a plan to dock teachers five per cent pay for not carrying out their duties during the days they were on the picket line. It escalated with more Fassbender threats and further BCTF strike action until a full-scale walkout forced public schools in B.C. to grind to a halt. There was uncertainty about provincial exams and grad ceremonies at secondary schools, and elementary students lost their year-end activities. Now, political pundits are painting a picture of the [greedy] teachers and how “unaffordable” their demands are – read these pages. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned in the mainstream media is that back in the 1990s, teachers decided not to go for wage increases in order to successfully negotiate for improved class sizes and composition – because improved learning conditions were beneficial for students. The class size and compositional language was stripped from the agreement in 2002 and the teachers fell even further behind their peers across the country. However, it hasn’t been the same for members of the provincial legislature who gave themselves a 30 per cent wage hike in 2007, with an indexed basic salary resulting in a 34 per cent hike (from the 2007 base rate) in 2010/11, according to a May 2010 article by Maureen Bader who was the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation at the time. So who is [greedy] and “unaffordable?” Stop playing games; negotiate a decent wage hike; and do what’s best for our children.

Alberta’s $58,500. Alberta teachers get paid more for a simple reason: that province has aggressively pursued economic growth and could afford more. The oil sands, the single rate tax, and other economy boosters generate billions that flow into the provincial treasury, making it possible for Albertans to pay their teachers more – while their taxpayers shell out $50 per week less than identical British Columbians. Alberta teachers have benefitted from Alberta’s economic growth, so it’s probably no surprise the Alberta Teachers’ Association isn’t out campaigning against the Northern Gateway pipeline. Want a raise, B.C. teachers? Want to address class size and composition? Then quit fighting every economic (and tax revenue growing) opportunity that comes B.C.’s way. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Opinion

Education funding cuts hurt students To the editor: As an education assistant, I see firsthand the impact of classroom composition and size on the quality of education. Special needs and behaviourally challenged students without support from CUPE staff monopolize teachers’ time – robbing other students of teachers’ attention. Special needs and behavioural students left without extra support can dominate and run the classroom.

This has a profound effect on the quality of education for all students, including students with special support needs. This detrimental impact is compounded with class size increase. A large group of acting-out students competing for attention is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for one teacher to manage alone resulting in great cost to students. Class size increases and support service cuts, the B.C. Liberal gov-

ernment promised not to make, were introduced after 2001 to pay for large tax cuts and revenue loss. Now, the education providers are left to manage the resulting damages from these cuts. What are the values of a government that compromises the education and care of our future generation for short-term gain to pay for fiscal mismanagement? We all reap the long-term benefits of investing in our children’s

ALC Act must be watched closely To the editor: I am writing regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, headlined Farmland fate a test for parties, on page A9 of the June 4 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. For Fletcher, a fan of the recent Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) bill, only “a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the flood, it seems any bad effect from the weakened Agricultural Land Commission Act is nothing. Fortunately, the bill spurred wide pro-ALR action. The efforts to stop “the bill to kill the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass of aware citizens for the next stage, which is now.

Awareness matters. We saw that in Richmond a few years ago when a fellow who publicly wanted a highprofile property out of the ALR almost got onto the Agricultural Land Commission panel to decide on it. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is meant to start with evidence, not decisions. Until the recent bill kneecapped the commission, current chair Richard Bullock was modernizing the ALC methods for quality assurance and efficiency, minimizing mistakes. Now, the changes to the ALC Act have disabled much of the progress and worse. With vigilance, the harm can be limited. Jim Wright, president Garden City Conservation Society

future today. When I hear people vilifying teachers for taking job action out of desperation, I hear this response as an uninformed, knee-jerk reaction like pawns playing right into the government’s strategy to gain public support by provoking teachers to use their only option left – a strike. My advice to Education Minister Peter Fassbender and the B.C. Liberal government is to look beyond your ideologically driven,

anti-union position and cost-saving motives. Step out of your power struggle and need to win in order to genuinely listen and negotiate in good faith this time. My advice to teachers and the BCTF is to keep advocating for our children and raising your voices until you are heard. You have my full support. Debbie Gove Chilliwack

Is provincial government culpable?

To the editor: While Canadians naturally recoil in horror when confronted by the recent news of widespread rape and murder in India, they would be well advised to look closer to home. The widespread violence against Aboriginal women in British Columbia is well documented and hardly a week goes by when more harrowing news is released to the media by various authorities. The issue is a complex one, but unlike the challenges facing women in distant countries, we can easily make a real difference here in B.C. Wally Oppal outlined one simple solution in his report – Missing Women Commission of Inquiry: provide safe transportation between the small communities along B.C.’s Highway of Tears.

While private, for profit transportation options exist, the deep poverty endemic to these communities ensures there will always be women hitchhiking despite the danger. They simply have no other option. Given the huge numbers of women who have gone missing along that highway, it’s absolutely crucial the government provides safe and free transportation for these women. If white women in the suburbs were experiencing the same fate,

Premier Christy Clark’s government would be moving heaven and earth to stop the disappearances. Because they are Aboriginal women far from major populations, they seem expendable. Mr. Oppal suggested an easy solution; the government ignores it; and women continue to disappear. Doesn’t that make the government culpable? Nathaniel Poole Victoria

BC VIEWS

few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in British Columbia. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16 per cent raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16 per cent, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that. Last week, the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere eight per cent over five years (compounded, for those who passed

$72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Joni Heinrich, chief administrative officer for the Village of Chase, said that generally every spring the lagoons produce some odour as bacteria comes back to life to do its job of eating materials in the lagoon. “This year the odour has been going on a bit longer than in past years, and is a bit stronger depending on where one lives in relation to the lagoon,” said Heinrich. She said the smell generally lasts for a couple of weeks, but this year it’s been on and off for over four weeks. Chase’s public works staff have been working to add an enzymatic product into the lagoon, in order to increase the amount of oxygen and increase the bacteria content, which will speed up the breakdown process and decrease the smell. Heinrich said, although an effective sewer treatment system, the sewer lagoons will need upgrades in the near future as they have been in place for over 20 years – upgrades would help lessen the smell.

Brew pub planned for Terrace

TERRACE —A local group of investors has signed an option agreement with the City of Terrace to build a brew pub on one section of the old Co-op shopping centre location. The site, on the northwest corner of the location close to the Western Financial Group and Staples, means the Skeena Brewery Company can now apply for the necessary licences to build a 2,000 litre brewery and lounge. "This is the first step toward the construction of an iconic building that will showcase the area's natural resources, culture, and outdoor lifestyle," said Greg Linton, the president of the company and one of several physicians who have invested in the venture. He signed the option agreement with Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski April 25.

I’m for it 100 per cent. We need it for the economy and the jobs. The next thing to revisit is the New Prosperity Mine. Like Premier Christy Clark has pledged, we need to take action to keep our young people from leaving.

I think it’s a good idea. Everybody needs the economic boom, especially now after our forestry sector was hit by the pine beetle epidemic.

Yes, I do. We need the infrastructure. But only as long as it is done in an environmentally safe and proper manner. To me, that is a crucial aspect to moving forward.

I am undecided on that, I’d like more information revealed. It will create jobs, but there are still too many unanswered questions.

Flossing your teeth is an important part of good oral hygiene. If you haven’t flossed in the past 24 hours, chances are you are putting your dental health at unnecessary risk. Here’s a good suggestion. Keep a package of floss next to your TV-watching chair. Then you can watch and floss at the same time. Poor-fitting shoes can play havoc with your feet. Bunions are caused by shoes that are too tight. Women suffer the majority of foot problems that also include hammertoes and neuromas (thickened, painful nerves in the forefoot making walking difficult). The solution? Wider shoes. Not as fashionable but your feet will thank you. In summer, the sun’s rays are stronger and certain medications can interact with sunlight to cause rashes.

100 Mile House RCMP nab suspect in ongoing fuel theft Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 112 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Stolen fuel In response to a complaint of ongoing thefts of diesel fuel from Ainsworth OSB Mill, the RCMP sought, and was given, authority to execute a search warrant at a business in the industrial area of 100 Mile House. A quantity of

marked diesel fuel was recovered. A vehicle associated to the thefts and clothing from the suspect were also seized. A 42-year-old male 100 Mile resident was arrested during the execution of this warrant. He was released from custody with a court date for Oct. 14 in 100 Mile House. Charges of theft and possession of stolen property are being recommended to Crown. Driving issues There were 16 driving complaints during the past week. This led to a number of traffic-related investigations being

conducted both by 100 Mile Detachment and Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services. • There was one incident of excessive speed during which a local driver was operating his vehicle at 73 km/h over the posted speed limit on Highway 97. He received a ticket and his vehicle was impounded for seven days. • During the week, there were three 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibitions issued. These incidents were both self-generated and in response to calls of possible impaired drivers. Continued on A12

Boat, motor and trailer stolen Sometime before 1:45 p.m. on June 18, a boat, motor and trailer were stolen from the driveway of a residence in the 5800 block of Highway 24 near Lone Butte.

The boat is a 5.55metre blue-and-white “GREW 186” with an inboard/outboard motor and soft top. The Hull Identifier is GR50030A485186.

The trailer is a blue/ grey “EZ Loader” trailer with a B.C licence plate of ULV38X. Anyone with information about this theft is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

“We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.”

The driver of this Arrow Transportation System truck hauling two trailers full of wood chips was fortunate to escape without serious injuries when it slid down a steep embankment on Highway 24 just before Judson Road. Witnesses say he was driving about 80 km/h when his truck suddenly caught the narrow gravel shoulder, slid down and along the embankment with his cab airborne, hit the berm at Judson Road and the cab slammed down on the road. Witnesses overheard him say a bee came in the window, landed on his eye and he lost control when tried to swat it away.

Impaired drivers taken off South Cariboo roads From A11

In one case, the driver refused to provide a roadside breath sample. In the other incidents, the drivers failed the approved screening device at the scene. In each case, the vehicles were towed and impounded for 30 days. • Over the weekend, a driver was found to be in care and control of his vehicle while visibly impaired near Lac la Hache. He was detained at the scene and returned to the 100 Mile House Detachment where two breath samples were obtained and the results were 230 and 220 mg%. The driver was released from custody

with a court date of Aug. 12 in 100 Mile House with charges of having care and control of a

vehicle while impaired and over the legal limit being recommended to Crown. Fully Licensed Center Subsidy Accepted for All Programs Qualified, Quality Staff Licensed Preschool & Playschool Before & After School Child Care Kindergarten thru Grade 7 7:30 am - 5:30 pm Hours flexible if needed

Around 1 p.m., local band, Contraband, will take to the stage and play for the rest of the day. The Historical Association is opening the Alice Singleton House museum for the first time to the public. The LBR committee is hoping to have a “pioneers” table set up outside the house. It would be a nice rest area for the seniors, and great for people to find out more about the history of this area. The Farmers Institute will have a small animal display next to the stage.

The fire department will hold its annual open house, with hotdogs and a chance to ride in the fire truck. There will be an archery demonstration hosted by the Bighorn Archery Club at Lone Butte Sporting Goods. Chris the Clown will entertain on stage and wander around entertaining children and adults with his magic and balloon tricks. The Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association Shooting Emporium is changing the name to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Shooting Emporium. The tent will be set up next to the Water Tower Park, where the Historical Association is holding its annual garage sale. The kids zone will be manned by Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre staff and volunteers; children (with guardians) are welcome to come and have fun with the games and crafts set up under the tent.

An upcoming hole in one contest culminates with golfers getting a shot at $1 million on July 20. The major fundraising event is organized by the Psalm 23 Society, which operates an addiction recovery centre in the area.

Karl Villeneuve gave his son Andrew, 7, some advice on how to grip his club at Marmot Ridge Golf Course in 100 Mile House on June 17. Villeneuve, a volunteer, is running a weekly golf camp with his wife Julie.

Golf camp drawing youth

Gaven Crites Free Press

A new golf camp in 100 Mile House is a hit with young golfers. Karl and Julie Villeneuve are volunteers organizing the weekly rounds at Marmot Ridge Golf Course on Tuesdays. It's all about learning the basics, and having fun, explains Karl. “I don't claim to be a golf pro of any kind. It's for kids to come out and enjoy an actual golf course.” More than a dozen youth can be expected to drop in every week. They're broken up into small groups based on age and ability and go out for as many holes as they can. There's a $5 green fee and optional $3 cost which goes to prizes for a year-end event. The camp goes from 4:30 to 6 p.m. for children 14 and under. Karl, who has five children of his

own, gives thanks to Marmot Ridge for the support. “It brings out a lot of these big families. They actually have four or five kids each. They're able to afford this.” He expects the camp to run all summer and has plans for a chip, putt and drive contest to wrap up the season sometime in August or September. There are weekly prizes, too. For more information, Karl can be reached at 250-945-4769. It's required that one adult be present on the course for every four children, and there's no cost to parents who volunteer to help out. Karl says he loves the game. It seems he's passing that feeling on to a younger generation. “It's just to go out and play. It doesn't matter what your ability is or how old you are, you're always going to be able to play golf.”

WINDOW DESIGN

in the Forestry Industry, but a new opportunity presented itself to me. While looking at a home in the 108 I was made aware that the owner also had a business for sale. Everything came together and shortly after I purchased the 108 Mile Supermarket. This was a complete change in direction and I haven’t looked back. I have found it challenging, but rewarding to be able to meet the needs and fully service the community I live in. I believe strongly in the support of small business and community connections. I am a Rotarian, a Director with the Rural

Agency Society of BC and a Director with the South Cariboo Community Enhancement Foundation as well as having been a Director with the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce for a number of years. Together with the Chamber, I look forward to the continued cooperation in working with the Cariboo Regional District and the District of 100 Mile House. As the Chamber Chair, I will work towards promoting economic growth for the South Cariboo in an effort that we will be able to provide the amenities that communities of a similar size already enjoy.

The Business Façade Improvement Program has had its first applications and we are excited to see more and more business and building owners take advantage of this opportunity. This program provides grants to property and business owners to renovate, restore, or redesign retail and commercial building facades and storefronts in 100 Mile House. The goal of the 100 Mile House Façade Improvement Program is to encourage owners or commercial tenants to invest in building façade upgrades that create a more interesting and appealing streetscape, attracting customers, clients, visitors and businesses to the commercial areas of town. Making 100 Mile House a more inviting and interesting place to eat, shop, walk and play. I encourage anyone interested to check out the program and application at 100 Mile House District

website at http://www.100milehouse. com under News and Events. The 100 Mile House Hot July Nights Car and Bike Show is fast approaching, July 11, 12 and 13. Participation is up considerably, with many out of town registrations. Free registration is still underway and this year the big draw prize is a Deluxe Chevy Crate Engine. Friday night things kick off at the A&W with the 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club Rod Run; and Saturday at the A&W will be the meet and greet, Poker Run and music; then Sunday down at Centennial Park there will be the big Show and Shine and live entertainment from 10am to 3pm. The Women’s Centre will be on site on Sunday again this year supplying refreshments. Our thanks to all the volunteers who make this event a success year after year; providing quality entertainment and enjoyment to

residents, registrants and visitors from all over BC. Check out the website at http://hotjulynights.ca Summer in the South Cariboo is an exciting time filled with events and outdoor recreation opportunities. Take in a traditional Pow Wow, July 11-13 at Canim Lake or sign up for the Canim Lake Band Poker Face Race, a Run/Bike/ Paddle race. Enjoy Interlakes Farmer’s Market, grand opening is June 28 and will include entertainment from the 2014 Cariboo Idol Participants. Canada Day Celebrations are happening throughout the Cariboo and don’t forget the 15th Annual Garlic Festival on August 23 and 24. With so much going on in the South Cariboo summer is the perfect time to get out there and try something new.

FIT & FABULOUS IN-HOME PERSONAL TRAINING I’m Anne Kolodziej, nationally certified personal trainer. My goal is to provide residents of the 100 Mile and surrounding area personal training service in the privacy of your own home. I come to you with all of the equipment that you would need for a balanced fitness program. I offer oneon-one training or small groups up to 3 to ensure personalized service. There are many advantages of having a fitness trainer

come to your home. You don’t have travel to the gym; your home is our studio! You get a customized fitness program specifically designed for you based on your needs and goals. You have exclusive use of the equipment – NO WAITING! You have a coach/ trainer by your side for the entire session to monitor your form, track your performance, adapt your program when necessary, encourage you and celebrate your success with you. You have lifestyle and nutrition guidance based on the latest research.

I offer service for those who find it hard to get out of the house, or who might find the gym intimidating, who find that the gym is too busy, or who feel lost and confused with their present program. Then there are those who just need a coach to keep them disciplined and on track. My extended area of interest is working with seniors and I look forward to adding this certification to my credentials soon. I will definitely keep you posted! For a free consultation, call me at 250-644-2618. Let’s talk about it!

CREATING JOY IN ART Creating Joy in Art was formed in 2007 after retirement from my teaching career of 35 years. I taught Art to gifted students in the district and completed my 6th year of Arts Education at UBC in 2004. As a practicing artist I have a passion for creating art in different mediums including painting silk, woven scarves, painting antique wooden windows and encaustic painted greeting cards. I have facilitated Arts Camps and workshops for students from 100 Mile and outlying areas. In my community, I am

involved as a member of the Arts Council, CAG, SCACS, and Spinners and Weavers. My company reflects my need to share my joy in art. Through it I am able to continue to share my passion and love of arts in many ways. I am known to many as “The Window Woman”. I spread my creativity on the windows of businesses and share the messages of shop owners be it Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall – I am out there enjoying my job! I am also a calligrapher and am able to use this on windows, banners, special memorable

books and commissioned works. Recently, I addressed wedding invitations for mail out by matching the font of the printed invites with my own calligraphy. Anything is possible, just give me a call. My most recent addition is Chalk Art, thus far including work for restaurants, on walls of stores and at weddings. Many store owners have told me how the advertising has brought customers in. Let your windows be my canvas and I know you won’t be disappointed.

PAINTING & CALLIGRAPHY

I would like to introduce myself as the new South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce Chair. I was raised in the Pemberton Valley on a farm and in my earlier years worked in the Forest Industry along the coast of BC. I spent 10 years in logging management in Lillooet, and then settled in Pemberton for the next 20 years with my own log scaling company. Together with my wife Sally, we have raised a combined family of five children and we now have five grandchildren. Family connections brought me to the Cariboo. Initially I was looking for work

Hello I’m Robert Fry , a newly elected Director with the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce. I was born in New Westminster BC in 1960. I bought a home in Lac La Hache in 1995 and moved in several months later and made the Cariboo my home. I met my wife Beverly Fry in Lac La Hache and we’ve been raising our six children in ever since. I started New Age Entertainment in 1999, an all request DJ/Live sound production & recording company. I have always been involved in music in one way or another and even though I’ve been a heavy equipment operator/truck driver for 30 years, I’ve managed to continue to do what I love. I have

In 2006 I started CaribooRadio.Com (Cariboo Radio ltd.) and by June 2011 CaribooRadio.Com was streaming with free mobile apps and the live broadcast started later in the fall.

Hot July Nights honours Jack Barnett Tearful MLA says new memorial award is ‘thoughtful’ and ‘appreciated’

Gaven Crites Free Press

It’s still a very emotional thing for her. For the first time, the Jack Barnett Memorial Award is going to "best in show" at the annual Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show in 100 Mile House, July 11-13. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett speaks about the award, in honour of her late husband who passed away last June, with some difficulty and grief. “It’s very thoughtful and appreciated.

Auditions for upcoming production this week Maggie Duncan and Russell MacMillan are getting married. But who’s going to play them? The 100 Mile Performing Arts Society is having early auditions tonight (June 25) and tomorrow for its next production coming this fall. The local community theatre group is doing Maggie’s Getting Married, a funny twoact play by Canadian playwright Norm Foster. (The group did Foster’s Office Hours last year, which had audiences in stitches.) Marie Hooper is directing the play, which includes six characters – three men and three women.

Hooper says they’re looking for more young men and women to audition and join the group. “Auditions are kind of an odd thing. People are very shy about coming out... [But] it’s not too awful. “If you have any interest, if you have any joy in theatre, and you want to test your wings, it’s a great thing to do.” Hooper says she wants to enter the upcoming production in an annual provincial theatre festival sponsored by Theatre BC next May. “I was trying to keep it to a small cast so it’s easier for people to commit. We’d like to try

and build up a reputation ... getting to as many places and things as we can.” The auditions go from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hooper’s

home at 818 Cariboo Trail in 100 Mile House. Rehearsals don’t start until September. “If we don’t get it cast

LIFE WITH PETS Allergies in Pets Looks like summer is finally here , for most of us, that is a welcome relief from the snow and cold that seemed like it would never leave. For some pets, however, the summer season brings its own set of problems in the form of allergies. Just like people, pets can suffer allergic reactions to any number of things including plants, pollen, insects, food and countless other offending substances. Common signs of environmental allergens include itchy skin, watery or red eyes and sneezing. Dogs that are allergic to a food they are eating frequently lick or chew their paws or lower legs and may even bite their toenails. They may also have chronic ear infections, red ears or they may also “scoot” to relieve itching. Contact allergies, such as to grass or pollen, may result in redness and scratching on the belly or in the armpit (axillary) area. Plastic food and water dishes may also trigger allergies and pets with this type of allergy may display a red, rashy chin and lips. Diagnosing a specific

www.cariboomobilevet.com allergen can be a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Allergies are an indication of a hypersensitive immune system, and that system may over-react to many different things. Clinical signs of allergies may also overlap. In other words, some pets with allergies to airborne substances may also have food sensitivities or contact allergies. To add to the confusion, pets can develop new sensitivities over time. This is often the case with food allergies, when pets become intolerant to a food they have been eating for a long time. Proper diagnosis and treatment usually involves

several steps, and may include skin biopsies, blood testing, eliminating specific foods, prescription hypoallergenic diets, medicated shampoos or rinses, or trials with different medications to relieve symptoms. Pets may also be treated with a series of injections designed for their specific condition in order to desensitize their immune system with the eventual goal of reducing symptoms. Since allergies involve an abnormal response of the immune system, attempts to remove allergens from your pet’s diet or environment will not relieve symptoms overnight. Food allergy trials, for example, take anywhere from four to six weeks to take full effect. Having a pet with allergies can be discouraging and frustrating for owners, as allergies are a lifelong condition. As in people, allergies can be managed but not cured. The good news is, treatments are improving all the time and many therapies can be quite valuable in reducing flare ups and making your pet more comfortable.

Lake Of The Trees offers Bible camps

Carole Rooney Free Press

On the shores of a sparkling lake nestled in the woods, Lake of the Trees Bible Camp (LOTT) offers a host of opportunities to be seized just a 35-minute drive northeast of 100 Mile House. The Bible camp offers children and youth in assorted age groups the opportunity to enjoy its various three- to 10-day excursions between June 30 and Aug. 23. Camp director Tom McIntosh says all children and youth are welcomed at LOTT, whether they have a faith or attend church. “Children of all backgrounds are welcome to explore the beauty of our pristine location and experience the fun to make memories that will last forever.” The camp’s outdoor activities include canoeing, kayaking, swimming, tubing, blobbing and archery for junior campers (aged seven-10) right up to teens (aged 13-16). Preteen campers (aged 10-13) and up can also participate in LOTT’s mini-golf course

Lake Of The Trees Bible Camp has a lot to offer youth of all ages during their summer vacations.

and enjoy fishing, while teens can challenge a climbing wall and paintball course, as well as splash down the big water slide. Optional skill training includes model rocketry (junior/pre-teen), water sports (teen) and horsemanship (preteen/teen). A two-night “squirts” camp accommodates younger children aged six to nine, and there is a three-night family camp for the whole gang, all ages welcome. McIntosh says work crew leadership experience is available for ages 14 to 17 to sign

up for a longer 24-night stay at a reduced cost. They will receive important mentorship from camp leaders, and enjoy activities between their daily chores at the camp. “We want to see future citizens in our communities who know how to get involved, and know how to give – not ‘what can I get’, but ‘what can I give’, and therein they find themselves. It’s amazing.” These work crews are so popular that this year’s first session already has a waiting list, he explains. All campers are provided opportunities to explore the

scriptures and ask questions at the Christian-centred camp. Everyone at LOTT also gathers daily at the chapel and nightly at the campfire to sing Bible songs and learn more about the scriptures. McIntosh adds LOTT opens up to the public on the last Saturday of each season so everyone can get a free taste of the Bible camp, including a complimentary barbecue meal. No registration is required for the open camp day. “The community is welcome to come meet the staff to have some waterfront fun or try some skill activities like our climbing wall, kayaks, blob or water slide.” While the majority are from the South Cariboo, campers come from all over British Columbia and Alberta to the popular camp, which is located 12 kilometres northeast of Forest Grove. More information about the camp, a map and directions to find it, the various sessions offered, work crew leadership experience, costs and registration forms are online at www. lakeofthetrees.com, or call 250-791-5502.

70 Mile resident wins bursary By Dennis Tupman Kathryne Cunningham, of 70 Mile House, has been awarded the Second Annual 70 Mile House and Area Community Fund Bursary. She starts fall studies towards a bachelor degree of Natural Science Resource Management at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. Kathryne has lived in 70 Mile House her whole life, been a longtime member of 4H, participated in rep hockey, and

is active in community volunteer work. The selection committee was very impressed with her professional application, and wishes her well in her studies. The 70 Mile House and Area Community Fund (70MHACF) was established as a continuing legacy of the now-closed 70 Mile Elementary School. It serves to enhance educational opportunities for deserving people in the communities of Green, Watch, and

Pressy lakes, as well the 70 Mile area – the catchment area of the former school. Funds left in the school’s Parents’ Advisory Committee account have been supplemented with contributions from a variety of sources and invested in the BC Interior Community Foundation (formerly the Kamloops Foundation). The money is dedicated to serving the former catchment area of the school.

The 70MHACF’s committee appreciates the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and our area Director, Sally Watson for making it possible to have the initial fund matched through the Northern Development Initiative Trust. Further fundraising efforts are ongoing and will allow the fund to be sustained with awards made from the interest accruing from this fund’s principal. Further donations may lead to another

matching grant, making it possible to offer additional annual bursaries and/or annual grants to community organizations. Donations in support of this legacy can be sent to the 70 Mile House and Area Community Fund Society; PO Box 29; 70 Mile House, B.C.; V0K 2K0. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more. Denise Tupman is a member of the 70 Mile House and Area Community Fund Society.

Here are the answers to the June 20 Cariboo Connector ‘Challenge Yourself’ Page.

Buying a new computer, what are my alternatives to Windows 8?

Despite rumours to the contrary, Windows 8.1 is a solid operating system with several enhancements over previous versions. It is, however, different and requires many users to adapt to a new interface control style. And, as with any new operating system, some older software may not run properly. So Microsoft still has Windows 7 available for new computers. Some major notebook manufacturers still have laptops available with Windows 7 Pro preinstalled for businesses that need to run this older software. Major resellers and big box retailers only get laptops and desktops with the latest Windows 8 pre-loaded. Gold Rush Technologies can custom build desktop systems - or sell laptops - with Windows 7 or 8 or even Linux. Or you can look at Google chrome computers or Apple computers.

Q: I have worked at the same job for 25 years, and last

week, my employer gave me a termination notice. They say that they only have to give me 8 weeks notice under the Employment Standards Act. Are they correct?

Sometimes the truth can be misleading - because it is only part of the story. When you read the Employment Standards Act, keep in mind, as is stated on the government website, that it only sets “minimum standards of wages and working conditions ….” In British Columbia, our legal system relies on the “common law.” In a “common law” system, the decisions of the courts are a fundamental part of the law. Legislation is also important but, even then, the precise meaning of some legislation can be a mystery until the courts have given their interpretation. In the case of rules relating to termination of employment, the common law has created the concept of “wrongful dismissal.” This term can be misleading because it seems to say that there are circumstances where an employer cannot terminate an employee. This interpretation is incorrect. An employer is almost always entitled to terminate an employee - but the employee is entitled to reasonable notice - or a payment equal to wages for the period of reasonable notice. For an employee who has worked for 25 years, reasonable notice could exceed 2 years - depending on a variety of factors. How does one determine “reasonable notice?” The case of Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960 CarswellOnt 144, Ont. OC) is often referred to for its description of relevant principles. The key passage is as follows: The reasonableness of the notice must be decided with reference to each particular case, having regard to the character of the employment, the length of service of the servant, the age of the servant and the availability of similar employment, having regard to the experience, training and qualifications of the servant.” Aside from the fact that the term “servant” is no longer considered to be the correct way to refer to an employee, those principles continue to guide the courts in matters of wrongful dismissal. Applying those principles to the case of the 25 year employee, there is a very good chance that he or she is entitled to more than 8 weeks notice. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

These include: High Interest Savings, GIC’s, Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds. Now that the total contribution room is up to $31,000, you may want to consider options other than a high interest saving account since interest rates are so low.

Dr. Sheila Boehm Chiropractor Q: Is it possible that I am actually more sore after my holiday ? A: I personally have felt this and have had patients report back within a week or two of travelling that common complaints such as low back pain or headaches return. I believe that this is largely due to the discomfort we endure for the holiday like extended sitting in a vehicle or airplane. Never mind not having our own pillow or bed, wouldn’t that improve the whole holiday experience. Since it is difficult to take home with you on vacation some things we can try is taking our own pillow where possible, I certainly do. I also encourage patients to stay active swimming or walking or even getting a massage on the beach. Upon returning home trying to stretch and keep relaxing activities going for awhile and go slow. Usually this also includes coming in for a chiropractic treatment and follow up after stressing the whole system both in positive and negative ways. Happy travels !! Book your consultation today.

Yes you do. Even though you have a license to grow marijuana for medical use, does not mean that the Insurance Company you are with will want to continue providing coverage for you. You should bring in a copy of your license and give your Broker all of the details pertaining to the operation, as your Insurance Coverage may need to be placed elsewhere. Your Broker will need to know where the plants are grown on your property. They will need a photo of the building that the plants are in. Your Broker will also need to know if the operation was set up professionally with respect to the electrical and the ventillation etc. It is extremely important that you notify your Broker of any changes to your policy at any time. Please give us a call with any questions you may have.

Deanna Oenema

The standard amortization in Canada is 25 years. Some clients want a 20 year amortization however there are variables to consider with a shorter amortization. Do you have other high interest debt – perhaps a personal loan at 6% and credit card debt at 17%? Your monthly mortgage payment is lower when you take a longer amortization. This frees up cash flow that you can apply against your high interest debt. Is the mortgage on a rental home? If so, consider a longer amortization if you still have a mortgage on your primary residence. Concentrate on paying down your own home before the rental -the mortgage interest on your rental is tax deductible. Lower your amortization on your primary residence, lengthen the amortization on your rental. With a longer amortization, lenders will offer you prepayment privileges where you can increase your regular payment. If you decided on a shorter amortization, you can’t decrease your monthly mortgage payment if a shortage of work or health issue were to arise. Ask me for advice on your next mortgage!

Child's work S

mall animals, an inflatable castle, bubbles, ball hockey and pizza were just some of the awesome things for children and parents at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on June 13. StrongStart, a School District #27 early learning parent participation program, held a year-end event in partnership with the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) for families to attend. Father's Day was around the corner, and there was a nod to the CFEC's Dads and Tots program as well. All around, the day was “superb,” says Shelly Joyner, SD #27 early years coordinator. “In the early years, play is a child's work.”

Pita Jack opens Canim Lake entrepreneur Gerhard Loeffeler has opened a new eatery on Alder Avenue in 100 Mile House called Pita Jack.

Dear Canimites The drone of lawnmowers echoes through the valley as residents trim the exuberant grass liberated by recent rains. The not-so-inclined fishers relax as they troll the lakes seeking more exciting prey. Road woes Mila Doksansky and Valerie Greve of Canim Lake Estates have been circulating a petition asking Interior Roads to deal with pavement and ditches in the suburb. Areas of asphalt are crumbling, ditches are filling with debris and the road slumps badly over some water system feed lines. Residents believe this deterioration presents safety concerns. Phil Doddridge of Interior Roads is handling the case. There will be an opportunity to speak face-to-face

You can buy donairs and pitas stuffed with lamb, beef or chicken and whatever variety of vegetables and condiments you choose. Italian-style pizza with a thin crispy crust is also a specialty, and for this Gerhard brought in special ovens. It must be tasty and it certainly has been popular, according to Gerhard. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Tony Savile was part of the Williams Lake contingent. Savile has directed a handful of comedies in the past, and says this type of workshop takes “the mystique” out of theatre and is perfect for attracting new members. “We all have to start somewhere.

Mile Ranch was one of the newcomers the local theatre group was looking to attract. During the lunch break, Newman talked about the character she was working on – “a prissy person who’s engaged to a lug” – and she joked about the opportunity to “overact.” “As soon as I saw that [Play in a Day] ad I knew I had to be here. I’ve always been curious about acting, but I was never prepared to make a huge commitment without being sure. This day enables me to try it out and see if I like it.” Debra Watson, also of 108 Mile Ranch, felt no pressure playing her part. “You’re feeling your way through it,” she says. “There’s a framework, you’ve got the script, but you can interject some of your own creativity into that character.” Another newcomer was Anita Maki, a Sunshine NEW

$1 million hole in one returns 108 Golf Resort site of big fundraiser for recovery centre

An upcoming nine-day contest is culminating with golfers getting a shot at $1 million on July 20. The major fundraising event is organized by the Psalm 23 Society, which operates an addiction recovery centre in the area. The contest starts on July 11 with a number of qualifying days, challenges and prizes. To enter, golfers can pay $10 for 12 balls, $20 for 30 or $50 for 100 balls and shoot for a hole in one or closest to the pin at a distance of

approximately 95 yards at the driving range at the 108 Golf Resort. Some of the top participants each day will qualify for the quarterfinals on July 20. The more you play, the better your chances, explains Psalm 23 executive director Marvin Declare. “You don’t have to be a golfer to get a lucky shot or to get it close. We hope for this year to grow and to be a really big mainstay as far as our fundraising.” The organization raises about $5,000 every

year with the event. The money helps with things like covering the cost of food and shortfalls in program fees, so Psalm 23 “can always give the available support to anyone without worrying about finances.” Declare says he’s hoping someone hit’s a hole in one this year and wins one of the big money prizes – $10,000 in the quarter-finals, $100,000 in the semifinals or the $1 million grand prize in the finals. Declare says the contest is also about connecting his orga-

nization with the community. “Each year, we build more relationships and grow the ones we have. [Participants are] supporting people who are struggling with their

lives and giving them a new opportunity. We appreciate the community’s support.” For more information, visit www. psalm23milliondollar holeinone.com.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.
