RHYTHM AND REGALIA
John Horgan criticizes Liberals, talks Cariboo economy
Gaven Crites Free Press
New BC NDP Leader John Horgan is on a summer tour of the province, introducing himself to voters and giving them a chance to “kick the tires,” so to speak. His stop in 100 Mile House was fitting then as Horgan spoke with automobile enthusiasts by a row of classic vehicles on display under a merciless sun in the A&W parking lot at the Hot July Nights car and bike show on July 12. The Official Opposition leader and MLA for Juan de Fuca replaced Adrian Dix as head of the party in May in the fallout of a surprise election loss in 2013. In an interview with the 100 Mile House Free Press, Horgan spoke about the economy in the Cariboo, the recent landmark Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court decision, the contentious New Prosperity mine debate, and what the NDP must do before the next election to win over voters in the British Columbia Interior.
On his way south toward 100 Mile House, Horgan made stops in Prince George, Williams Lake and 150 Mile. People there are worried about jobs and the future, he says, and he criticizes the B.C. Liberal government for ignoring what he calls existing economic opportunities while trumpeting the province’s emergent LNG industry. “There are a lot of unanswered questions and there’s a lot of cheerleading going on,” says Horgan, a former NDP energy critic, of LNG development. “At the same time, people in communities like 100 Mile, they’re worried about forestry, they’re worried about mining, and they’re worried about agriculture and ranching, and the government is silent. “That’s basically what I’ve been hearing – ‘What about us?’” Horgan adds the B.C. Liberal government’s plan to consider converting volume-based forest licences to new or expanded area-based Continued on A3

Liquor pricing law brings mixed reactions Carole Rooney Free Press
Various pubs and bars in the province are protesting the change in liquor laws that came into effect July 1 – some owners are saying it will put them out of business – since they have been offering drink specials below the new minimum prices. James Clancy owns Red Rock Grill in 100 Mile House with his partner, Natalie Cox, and he says they both feel most of the minimum prices indicated in the legislation change are “quite good.”
Happy hour pricing set, restaurants serve booze only The exception is an increase to the minimum price of a pint of draft beer to $5, which the Red Rock Grill has previously offered at a lower special price. “The price of the wine and spirits seems great to me, it just seems the draft beer for some reason is priced weird. My pints are cheaper than that already, so I have to raise my pint prices now.” The minimum charge for a pint of draft should
have been set at about $3.50, he explains. “My guests are not going to be as happy when they come in and have to pay more for a pint of beer than they have before.” The restaurant/lounge owner says he thinks the rest of the costing is otherwise fine. The new law won’t increase the Red Rock’s charge for a five-ounce glass of wine, a sleeve or bottle of beer, or an ounce of liquor, Clancy notes. The province has now stipulated a minimum price of $3 for each of those, while a jug of beeron-tap will now cost at least $15. Continued on A4

Fire department goes digital
Gaven Crites Free Press
Essential information is now at the fingertips of local firefighters with the recent addition of a half-dozen new tablet computers in frontline vehicles. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue purchased and installed the six iPads for about $750 each. The touch-screen devices are expected to greatly reduce paperwork, help crews respond to incidents more efficiently with new mapping technology, improve training capabilities, and help crews share information during a call. Basically, the new electronic devices modernize the work of the department, says chief Darrell Blades. “The information [the fire department members] need they used to have to keep in big binders and the crew really didn’t take it with them

New iPads will help 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue reduce paperwork and share information on emergency calls.
[on emergency calls]. It’s all going to be here electronically. When they arrive on scene, they’ll be able to snap a quick picture of what they see and that picture can be viewed on all the
iPads of the responding vehicles.” Blades expects a two- to threemonth learning curve with the new technology, but says it will help them in the long run.
www.100milefreepress.net
The department had been looking at installing laptops in its trucks for a few years, but couldn’t justify the cost. Blades cites one laptop model coming in at between $4,000 and $5,000 per unit with installation. As well as being cheaper, he says the iPads are more portable. “It’s not the greatest computer, but it’s very handy for what we want to do.” Multiple departments are working together and experimenting with iPads, including fire departments in Williams Lake, Salt Spring Island and Comox, Blades adds. “We’re all kind of finding different applications, different forms we’re using, and we’re sharing it back and forth and trying to make the job better. So at 2 a.m., the guys aren’t thinking, ‘Ok, what’s the layout of this building and where’s the closest hydrant?’ They’ll have that information at their fingertips.”
Tough task ahead for Horgan From A1
licences – in other words, changing the way public forests are managed by granting logging rights to timber companies based on large pieces of land and not on a specific number of trees – is another issue of concern here. “Right through the Cariboo, there are significant challenges in the reduction of timber fibre that’s available for industry. We’re going to have to reassess where we do that [and] how we do that.... These are things I think the public wants the government to be acting on today. Instead, what they hear is, ‘LNG. LNG. LNG’.” (A two-month public consultation process on area-based forest tenure finished on May 30 and a report is due in the near future.) In response to Horgan’s comments, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the government is indeed focused on LNG, but they remain focused on other industries as well. “[Horgan] can say what he wants to say because he’s not engaged,” says Barnett, before repeating the Liberals’ favourite criticism of the NDP: “He’s opposed to every resource industry there is.” “I continuously work with the agriculture, forest and tourism industry,” Barnett adds. Another hot topic on Horgan’s tour is the Supreme Court of Canada’s historic decision in late June granting Aboriginal title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land in central British Columbia to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation. It’s a welcome decision, Horgan says emphatically, because it creates certainty for future investment. “[It’s] great news for the Tsilhqot’in people, of course, but also I think it’s
great news for people that live in the Cariboo-Chilcotin because we can now start negotiating the next level, whether it be forestry, mining, or whatever the industrial activity might be.” The $1.5-billion New Prosperity gold and copper mine project proposed by Taseko Mines Ltd., a contentious project that faces strong First Nations opposition and was twice rejected by the federal government on environmental grounds, has also come up several times on Horgan’s tour of the region. “The question was, ‘Why doesn’t the NDP love Taseko and their proposal?’ It’s not about the NDP. It’s about, ‘Is this a good project?’ If it is, it will proceed,” Horgan says. (Taseko maintains the last environmental review process was flawed and the company has two judicial reviews before the courts alleging the federal government relied on the wrong information from a joint review panel in coming to its decision.) Horgan says he thinks expanding the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine is a better way forward for Taseko, which owns 75 per cent of the huge open pit mine located between Williams Lake and Quesnel, near McLeese Lake. “I’d like to see Taseko focus on their existing property and get more jobs out of that than to go back a third time [to New Prosperity] .... If Taseko wants to sit down with the Tsilhqot’in people and try again, then good for them, and I encourage that. But I would suggest it might be time to look at other opportunities.” Barnett, as the incumbent in 2013, won the Cariboo-Chilcotin race with 56 per cent of the vote, trumping second-place finisher and NDP can-

didate Charlie Wyse by nearly 3,000 votes of the 13,669 cast. That comfortable margin of victory speaks to the BC Liberal Party’s strength in the northern and central parts of the province, and the problem the NDP has connecting with rural voters. While pre-election polls predicted an NDP victory in 2013, it was Premier Christy Clark, promptly nicknamed “the comeback kid” by her own party, and the B.C. Liberals that rolled into power winning 49 of 85 seats in the Legislative Assembly. Four months later Dix resigned as leader of the NDP, which last governed B.C. from 1991 to 2001, and the party looked to reset ahead of the election in 2017 with Horgan at the helm. “My job going forward is to try and convince people who weren’t comfortable voting for the NDP in the
past that they can confidently do that in the future,” Horgan says. “What we didn’t achieve during the election campaign was give people in the Interior comfort we wanted to protect their jobs and promote new developments.” Horgan says he’s made a once-amonth commitment to visit Prince George, where the NDP hasn’t won an election since 1996, in hopes of reconnecting with voters there. The idea is to change voter perception of what the NDP is all about. “I have to combat the mythology the Liberals like to throw out that we’re against economic growth. Because we’re not. We’re against bad projects, and we’re in favour of good projects.” There’s a lot of work ahead, he admits. “It’s not an easy task, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Pubs and bars protest changes to liquor law From A1
“I like that idea of $3 beer. We’ll be able to do cheaper buckets and that kind of stuff now.” In a directive to the industry, the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch states the lower prices may also be applied selectively for “ladies night” or “team night” specials. Meanwhile, 100 Mile House Legion #260 president Bob Wangensteen says the pricing changes are government “window dressing” for the most part, and won’t affect the Legion bar’s current minimum pricing. “It’s just to say ‘we’re really doing something’ when they are really doing nothing. Our minimum prices are already set and it won’t affect those.” The Legion #260 won’t offer Happy Hours or any other mid-day specials that don’t run all day, he explains. “It really won’t affect us and it doesn’t mean anything. We have drink specials every day, and it’s rotated through [various drinks] and it’s much better than the Happy Hour.” The new regulations also allow restaurant patrons to be served drinks without an obligation to order food as well, although these eating establishments must
continue to offer a full menu. Clancy says that is another disappointment to him, after the many months and big effort he recently put into gaining the licensing to allow him a lounge endorsement to serve liquor without food, just prior to these new laws coming into effect. “Now, basically all restaurants can do a ‘lounge endorsement service’. “I mean, we are allowed to have live music – which a lot of restaurants can’t – but it was a lot of extra money we spent on [getting] that licence, and a year of hassles trying to get blueprint copies and the fire marshal out, and all that, and now everyone can do it.” Government’s liquor policy review also closes the gap between pubs and restaurants by allowing families to bring children into pubs at mealtimes. Furthermore, family hosts with a special
occasion licence mayserve homemade and U-brew beer, wine or cider. However, Wangensteen says he disagrees with that change, as it will lead to children in drinking establishments where the parents are not eating and are drinking to the point of providing inadequate supervision. “I’m dead set against it.... I agree with allowing them in on major events, like Remembrance Day, but across the board, no. You are going to end up with lots of abuse. “The kids don’t need to be subjected to some of the crap that goes on in some of these establishments.” Lakewood Inn/ Jake’s Pub owner Andy Jacobson declined to comment on the changes at this time.

Three males, who led 100 Mile House RCMP, a tracking dog and helicopter pilot on a chase through the bush on June 13, successfully hid overnight and avoided capture until late the next morning, are now looking at a lot of charges. Derick Brown, 26, David Higgins, 18, and Darwyn Sellars, 25, are facing several charges, including resisting arrest and possession of stolen property. Sellars, who is originally from Williams Lake, has a court date in Kamloops tomorrow (July 17). Brown, who resides in Kamloops, was before a judge in Williams Lake on July 9 for more charges, including possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He is back in a Williams Lake courtroom today (July 16).

Higgins, a resident of Cranbrook, has a court date in Williams Lake on Aug. 6. 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 further update was received stating 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 the car 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 it was called off later in the afternoon when the tracks were lost after they led back to Highway 97.

School district budget crunched
Carole Rooney Free Press
School District #27 (SD27) found slightly more than half of the $1.6 million in savings it needed to balance its budget for the 2014/15 school year by the June 15 deadline. SD27 secretary treasurer Kevin Futcher says recent efforts to bring in a balanced budget have left the district facing a budget shortfall of more than $700,000. This reflects additional cost-cutting measures from the approximate-
ly $900,000 reported at the end of April. After working further with staff, he says a total of $884,000 in savings (about 55 per cent of the deficit) was identified within its 2014/15 budget. Among these cost cuts is approximately $300,000 in program reductions, mostly from a reduction to the GROW adult continuing education programs in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. Another $213,000 was found in reduced administration costs,
including the elimination of two principal/ vice-principal positions and reductions in other departments. While cancelling a balanced calendar (optional year-round classes) program at Cataline Elementary School in Williams Lake saved $173,000, Futcher notes the remainder was mostly found through a number of other, small reductions. The current structural deficit is $188,000. The secretary/treasurer explains how it will make up the remaining
$716,000 in its total deficit. “We will need to draw on the accumulated surplus to balance next year’s budget.” In March, trustees pledged they would not close any more schools in the school district to address all these shortfalls, but are concentrating on finding other ways to cut operating costs instead. The Ministry of Education has reduced SD27’s funding for next year by $800,000 as a result of declining student enrolment and the
partial elimination of funding protection. The SD27 2013 enrolment was 4,833, with an expected drop to 4,600 students by this fall. On top of that, there are increased costs to cover the new collective agreement government has reached with district support workers that will cost the district an additional $455,000, Futcher notes. The ministry has stated no additional funding will be made available to school districts for these contract obligations.

Backyard beehives, hens approved by CRD
Carole Rooney Free Press
Bees and hens are now allowed on residential properties throughout the Cariboo Regional District. CRD directors gave third reading and final adoption to bylaws that will allow for laying hens and beekeeping in residential zones, under certain restrictions. These bylaw changes follow lobbying
by area residents, and apply to properties for single-family or twofamily zoned properties with a residence as the primary land use. While properties in rural and resource/agricultural zones already permit unlimited hen and beekeeping, the bylaw change will affect about 11,900 properties throughout the regional district. CRD chair Al Richmond says it per-
mits these new land uses with an eye to increasing residential sustainability in the region. A maximum of four hens are allowed on lots smaller than 0.4 hectare (0.99 acre), 10 hens on 0.4-8 ha (0.99-1.98 acre) and up to 20 hens on larger properties. Richmond says the bylaw also follows the general board and public consensus for keeping roosters on
residential-zoned lots larger than 0.4 ha (0.99 acre) only, in allowing one rooster for 10 hens and incrementally increasing the quantity with property size, based on concerns regarding noise and aggression. Egg sales will also be allowed under the amended bylaw. Slaughtering and/or disposal of hens, and use of hens for meat, are prohibited on these

A police helicopter was also brought in for aerial surveillance, but the suspects were not spotted. The next morning (June 14), police recognized the suspects from a description of their clothing caught on the liquor store cameras, and two of them fled into the bush. Officers arrested Brown behind the Grey Hound bus depot in 100 Mile House. He had two sawed-off weapons and ammunition in his possession. Police Dog Services
along with a police helicopter were brought back in to assist in the search for the other missing suspects. Shortly thereafter, Higgins and Sellars were taken into custody without incident at the ball diamonds during a slo-pitch tourney in 100 Mile House. When the stolen vehicle was searched, a homemade improvised explosive device was discovered. The explosive disposal unit from Vancouver was flown in and the device was safely detonated around 7 p.m. that day. All three men were

But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don’t have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them. • Rated 14A • Parents: Not recommended for young children, offensive language, sexual content • Length 1:49

So it begins: partners speak
Health could be number 1 issue
T
he future of health care may be the most important issue that Canada faces heading into the 2015 federal election year.
The 2003 First Ministers’ Accord on Health Care Renewal injected $36 billion in federal money into health spending and the 2004 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care added a further $41 billion over that decade in order to, in then-prime minister Paul Martin’s words, have a “fix for a generation” that would “buy change.” On March 31, that Accord expired. Unfortunately, all this federal spending mostly did was to buy the avoidance of change for about half a generation – hardly a “fix.” By avoiding hard choices, progressives in the Liberal Party and the NDP have opened the door for Stephen Harper – a man who was once the president of the National Citizens

GUEST SHOT
In last week’s editorial, we noted Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin’s June 26 ruling in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s quest for Aboriginal title in the Nemiah Valley would definitely change land claims and resource extraction project in British Columbia. The provincial government, forestry, mining and First Nations leaders immediately realized McLachlin’s decision is going to change the rules when it comes to First Nations’ use of their Aboriginal title on specific portions of their land. B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton noted it would take time for the province to amend the Forest Act and other legislation that was affected by the decision. Forestry and mining association leaders said it would take time to digest how McLachlin’s ruling would impact their industries. All of them agreed their would be significant changes, but they weren’t sure how quickly that would happen. Well, they got that answer last week when First Nations people throughout the province notified government – federal and provincial – there needs to be changes that could be negotiated or taken to court. Closest to home was a message to hunters on the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) noting hunting privileges in Management Units 5-04 and 5-05 may be affected by the federal Supreme Court decision on the Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal title. Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) Chief Roger William said there will be short- and long-term decisions on agreements for hunting and fishing on Tsilhqot’in land. On July 14, eight bands from Haida Gwaii on the B.C. coast to Yinka Dene territory west of Prince George filed proceedings to challenge the federal government’s decision to conditionally approve Enbridge Northern Gateway’s tanker and pipeline project. The bands want to overturn the Enbridge approval based on the Tory government’s failure to meet its Constitutional duties in respect of the First Nations. Again these moves were based on the Tsilhqot’in decision, and it will definitely throw a monkey wrench in Enbridge’s game plan. The most aggressive First Nation reaction to the Tsilhqot’in ruling surfaced on July 10 Gitxsan people issued eviction notices to all sport fisheries on the Skeena River and tributaries, forest activities authorized by BC Timber Sales and FLNRO, and to CN Rail. They are expected to vacate and cease activities by Aug. 4, until they can obtain the required consent from the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs. So it begins; the new partners have spoken.

of the single-payer to lower drug prices. The drug strategy could have been accomplished by now. Every business person understands the larger your bulk order, the greater your chance of lowering the price. Economists estimated in one study that for four major drugs the savings in Canada of a single national drug plan could be as high as 50 per cent. Former premiers Lorne Calvert of Saskatchewan, Ralph Klein of Alberta, and Gordon Campbell of British Columbia all called for a national Pharmacare program, but former prime minister Martin was too busy, and he delayed. As a consequence, the deal was killed in 2006 when we elected the Harper Conservative government. Mark Crawford is a political scientist at Athabasca University.

Opinion

Progressive Canadian Party wants court ruling To the editor: On Feb. 18, 2014, the Progressive Canadian Party (PCP) raised the issue of the Prime Minister Stephen Harper government using closure to speed through proposed amendments to the Canada Elections Act, which are favourable to the Conservative ruling party. Nonetheless, the Harper government, having a majority of members in the House of Commons and the
Senate, were able to pass Bill C-23 in spite of much criticism from the public and other MPs and senators. Thus, the same party, which admitted guilt in breaking election law in the 2006 election and which chose to limit both a judicial enquiry and the Commissioner of Elections’ investigation into robocalls made during the 2011 Election, has unilaterally passed Bill C-23 into the Canada Elections Act.
The act still contains amendments that will disenfranchise many Canadian citizens, especially university students and Aboriginals. It’s an act that specifically did not increase the Commissioner’s powers of investigation by enabling testimony to be taken under oath, as recommended by both the Chief Electoral Officer and the Commissioner. It’s an act that moves the
Commissioner of Elections from a position of neutrality within Elections Canada to being responsible to a cabinet minister (where the Prime Minister can always quietly intervene). This and other matters of concern expressed by the Progressive Canadian Party since February necessitate the act being challenged before the courts. The PCP insists that, due to the nature of its passing and many
terms included in it, Bill C-23, now passed as an “Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts,” should not be applied in elections until decisions on challenges to its terms have been made by the Supreme Court of Canada. Sinclair Stevens, leader Progressive Canadian Party
Teachers' strike/lockout Senate abolishment unnecessary a huge concern Children should be developing to their greatest potential To the editor: The teachers strike and lockout should be of concern to everyone because the children are the future and should be encouraged to develop to their fullest potential. It is already difficult for teachers to give their best, but with the new government demands, it will be almost impossible. Other unions working within the government seem to win much larger settlements without much difficulty, but teachers are sometimes even belittled through the media as glorified babysitters! Why is that? This government would like teachers to be an “essential service,” but they don’t have the same life or death responsibility that health-
care workers, firefighters or police have. If class sizes are increased and too many children with learning disabilities are in the mix, school boards may have to “insist” those children are drugged with Ritalin. Disruptive children, though, can sometimes be the smartest; however, they won’t develop without help, but governments don’t want free-thinking children – just obedient, unquestioning ones. After graduation, most of the special needs students could be on medication for life; now, who would that serve? Gary Huntbatch Abbotsford
To the editor: After a career of railing against the Senate, Prime Minister Stephen Harper now says we’re “stuck with the status quo.” Canadians don’t have to settle for this defeatism – there is a practical plan left to fix our broken Senate. Mr. Harper was reacting to a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that his proposed reforms would require constitutional amendments approved by at least seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the population. Abolishing the Senate would require the unanimous consent of all 10 provinces. Canadians don’t want to open up the Constitution for a long, rancorous debate with the provinces that would distract from solving their problems. Yet, the problem is worse today than when Mr. Harper started eight years ago. He has turned
the Senate into a hyper-political, hyper-partisan chamber, which he personally stocked with the likes of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Fortunately, there is a better way. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has a plan to remove partisanship and patronage from the Senate, and to restore the original purpose of the Fathers of Confederation: a chamber of sober, second thought. Under a Trudeau government, all senators would be appointed through an open, transparent and non-partisan appointment process. Senators would be selected on quality and good judgment, picking the best of the best from each province. Parties and partisanship would become a thing of the past. No constitutional battles required. To get started, Trudeau removed all senators from the Liberal caucus. In one morning, he achieved
more Senate reform than Mr. Harper had in his entire career. Real change to the status quo is within reach. We just need the leadership to get it done! Scott Simms, MP Liberal Democratic Reform critic

Please drop in and see me in Kamloops.

A recent report or at least more severe accidents. out of Saskatchewan suggests they are.
BC VIEWS
“Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. Liberal government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural British Columbia highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left-lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly
Ina Senechal Kamloops
In 2013, only 48% of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. However, a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Interior last weekend. Crews with 10 air tankers, three helicopters and ground equipment were deployed July 13, when the fire covered 12 hectares close to Highway 97. Meanwhile, a new lightning-caused fire at Chelaslie Arm in a remote region south of Smithers was at 5,000 ha and had 10 firefighters and two helicopters deployed. It was causing visible smoke in Smithers, Telkwa, Houston, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof Meanwhile, a Red Deer Creek fire that caused the evacuation of three oil and gas camps near Tumbler Ridge now has 160 firefighters, 12 helicopters and 31 pieces of heavy equipment building fire breaks. As of July 13, other fires burning in British Columbia included wildland blazes 50 kilometres west of Williston Lake (4,000 ha, and expected to grow) and six kilometres east of Mackenzie (80 ha).

River jumping leads to death GRAND FORKS -The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died after jumping from a bridge near Grand Forks on July 8 as Joe (Morey Joseph) Lafreniere, 53. The Grand Forks resident was jumping recreationally from the old Nursery rail bridge into the Kettle River with a group of others during the afternoon. While he was immediately observed to be in trouble in the river, he was swept away by the current before his companions could assist him. Search and Rescue pulled out Lafreniere after 20 minutes in the river and transported him to hospital, but he could not be resuscitated. In Golden Ears Park at Maple Ridge, a 22-yearold Surrey woman drowned at the end of June in fast-moving Gold Creek after slipping off rocks near the Upper Falls. Her body has not yet surfaced.

Seniors must be very careful of the amount of alcohol they consume because it does interact with many drugs and can make some health conditions like diabetes worse.

Many people take drugs that reduce the amount of stomach acid. Many people also take calcium supplements. Calcium is better absorbed in an acidic environment. Calcium carbonate is one of these. However, if your stomach acid is reduced, try calcium citrate for better absorption. By the way, this same consideration should be given to those who take vitamin B12 orally. This vitamin also needs stomach acid to absorb well. If you do take stomach acid-suppressing drugs, you may be better off with B12 injections.

Lac la Hache mother suffers brain injury Carole Rooney Free Press
The family of a Lac la Hache single mother of three who has suffered a serious brain injury is asking for support and prayers. Jodie Mattick, 39, was found unconscious on June 20 and taken by ambulance to 100 Mile District General Hospital, where she was found to be comatose and seriously ill. Her parents, Doug and Pauline Peterson of Watch Lake, say Jodie was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital, where a CAT scan revealed severe damage to Jodie’s frontal cerebral cortex. She cannot fully recover from the damage, but her family’s hope is Jodie will improve to the point where she can attain some level of quality of life. While the initial prognosis was dim and the family was asked to consider removing the respirator, Pauline notes she was not convinced there was any urgent need to take such a drastic step. Within four days Jodie began to improve, opened her eyes a few days later, and can now follow simple commands and seems to recognize some family members, she adds. “Jodie’s made a lot of [progress] – even though they are little butterfly steps and we know she is going to be brain injured. “But, the neurologist came back kind of excited, and he agreed that
she deserved a chance.” Their goal is to get her strong enough to go to a rehabilitation centre, but Pauline says there is a “big risk” that Jodie may suddenly cease to improve. “That’s where we would be stuck – and have to make terrible decisions with that. So, we have just left it in God’s hands.” With three children, Brianna, 18, and two younger sons, Austin and Lucas, Jodie’s family has been torn asunder by this tragic injury. It may never be known what event triggered the brain damage, but Jodie had experienced a lot of swelling in her extremities, so it could have been oxygen deprivation from water in the lungs, her mother explains. Pauline says she and Doug are struggling under the costs of paying Jodie’s rent and bills
on top of travelling to Kamloops and trying to arrange transportation for her children to visit their mother. “We’re seeing her as much as we can because that is what seems to be drawing her back to moments of recognition.” Jodie’s progress can be tracked on Facebook under Pauline Marie Ronning-Peterson. Donations will be gratefully accepted at The Rustic Grill near Lac la Hache (where Jodie works as a cook); JD’s Salon, Birch Avenue Barbershop and Burgess Plumbing in 100 Mile House; United Concrete at 105 Mile; and Little Horse Lodge at Green Lake. Special or private donations can be made by calling 250-456-2179. Pauline adds any prayers for Jodie are much appreciated.

105 Mile revs up for high-powered racing weekend
Carole Rooney Free Press
Nothing gets a truck enthusiast’s heart pumping like powerful roaring engines running high-test fuel and belching smoke while spraying rooster-tails of mud from huge spinning tires. The 11th Annual Scotty’s Mud Drags once again opens up its pits full of slick Cariboo gumbo for participants to compete for big cash prizes while they entertain a grandstand full of spectators out for a loud weekend of mud sports. With eight classes of competitions, plus a Powder Puff run for partners/spouses and a Mechanics race for the under-the-hood techs, there is sure to be plenty of action at this North West Mud Racing Association circuit event. Organizer Liesbeth Lang expects the usual 50 or so trucks to compete, but says she won’t know for sure until just before the event as the entrants scramble for last minute parts. “It gets pretty exciting. We have people who literally are driving the trucks they plan to drive to work the next day, so sometimes that’s not the best idea.” A total of $6,000 in prize money typically brings mud racers from across British Columbia, Alberta and parts of the United States, she explains. The pro-racers and street-class trucks will sparkle with shiny chrome and bold, colourful paint jobs until
they hit the mud bogs – where pretty much everything is splattered brown. “It’s noisy, it’s loud, and they are blowing up stuff. You can’t beat it.” Along with the customary flashy paint graphics, Lang notes real flames aren’t unusual as some overheated engines churn through the courses. “We had one race once where there was [a guy] with a really nice street truck, and he’d done all his races. Then during the Powder Puff
he let his girlfriend race, and as she was coming out of the pit she took the corner too sharp and she rolled his truck. “All of us wives and girlfriends went ‘ooohhh that’s going to be a quiet ride home’.” For another twist in the muck, half-time will see the Running Wrecks where 50/50-style wagers are placed on old beaters donated from 100 Mile New & Used, drained of oil running in neutral with a brick on their gas pedals, to guess when each one will give
up the ghost. “You get the Ford guys betting 20 minutes on the Ford and 10 seconds on the Dodge – it’s good fun ... we decorate the trucks all up, so it’s a big circus show.” Posters will be handed out for children to have autographed by their favourite “big wheel” race drivers. Admission is $15 for adults while children aged 12-and-under get in for free. Food concessions and bottled water will be available. Lang notes it will be
“very noisy” and hot weather is likely, so folks should bring ear protectors and hats, especially for the children. The mud drags take place at Scotty’s Power Digging located on Lilypad Lake Road, seven kilometres west of Highway 97. Follow Tatton Lake Road and the signs to be posted on race day.

Squirts play spirited ball
The 100 Mile N' Hour squirts softball team finished fourth place at a provincial tournament in Clearwater July 4-6. The local team won two round robin games before reaching the playoffs and losing a tiebreaker against Barrier. “It was a scorching hot first game” against the hosts at noon on July 4 says team manager Gwen Scott. 100 Mile House beat Clearwater 15-0. Colton Sanford pitched excellently, striking out five batters and earning team MVP. Game 2 was later that afternoon before Opening Ceremonies, explains Scott. “The Squirts played Barriere and despite starting off with a good lead, Barriere came back in the third and fourth innings to score the five run maximum in each and winning the game 14-7.”

'Hearts like lions'
Local team wins 'Fair Play' award at soccer provincials, coach proud of hardworking soccer players Despite losing four games in Chilliwack, coach Casey Hall says the 100 Mile House Storm U16 girls soccer team put up a good fight at the 2014 BC Soccer Provincial B tournament July 3-6. A short playing season in the North means less experience with the really high-end soccer played by teams in bigger centres in the southern part of the province, so it's a challenge to compete, the coach explains. That being said, he adds: “I am very proud of our girls as they have hearts like lions. The tournament ... was an excellent opportunity for the girls to see just how hard you have to work to compete at that level.” 100 Mile House won the “Fair Play” award. The girls played hard
and earned no penalty cards. “I think the team was very nervous going in,” Hall says. “It is such a large, intimidating venue and a lot to take in. I think the team represented 100 Mile as a well-mannered, hard working team and they should be proud of themselves.” Hall believes some girls on the team have potential to play higher level soccer, in college or univesity for instance, if they stay committed to the growing and popular sport and train hard. “It was also nice for me to see what the level of soccer around British Columbia is like and how other teams are playing the game. "Hopefully I can bring some of that back to 100 Mile.”
Ladies 'Imitate The Pud' As the 30th Annual Pud Griffin Ladies Tournament approached, 39 golfers teed-up at the 108 Golf Resort on July 8 for a game of “Imitate The Pud.” Meaning there were many cowboy hats and plaid shirts out to enjoy the two-ball, best ball round. Carol Lidstone and Wendy Foster (64) shot low net. That pair was followed by Carol Ohlund and Lorraine McCaffrey (65); Heather Matsuda and Corinne French (67); Pauline Weigelt and Gloria Corno (67); Cathy Waite and Lynn Smeds (67); and Ann Pinkney and Maureen
Pinkney (67). Low gross was shot by Deb Case and Joanne Garrow (88) and Julietta Morete and Deb Case (88). Clara Koehn and Janet Roux (92) shot third lowest gross score. Case hit the longest drive in the first flight. A. Pinkney hit longest in the second flight. Wendy Foster hit longest in the third flight. Closest-to-the-pin shooters were Koehn and Garrow in the first flight and Bonnie McColl in the third flight. Waite, Case, Shannon Knapp, French, Matsuda and M. Pinkney scored birdies.

100 Mile & District Historical Society Would Like To Say
‘Thanks For A Great Canada Day Party’ To The Following People:
Submitted photo
A U14 rep softball team from 100 Mile won second place at provinicials.
A provincial softball tournament in North Surrey saw two Cariboo teams go head-to-head in the finals. The local U14 rep squad, 100 Mile N' Hour, met the Williams Lake Prospects in the Softball B.C. championship on July 13. Both clubs put up big numbers in the big game, and it was Williams Lake edging out 100 Mile House
15-14. 100 Mile House most valuable player awards for the weekend went to Warren McNabb, Hayden Prodnuk, Mitchell Hooper and Lane Paddison. 100 Mile N' Hour beat the Sooke Drillers, which finished third place overall, in another close game, 11-9 in the semifinal. As part of Invis, Canada’s largest mortgage brokerage firm, I have access to over 50 lenders and a wide range of innovative mortgage options at very competitive rates.

Inaugural ATV poker run successful
A21
Green Lake Snowmobile Club shows off all-season maintained trails
By Diane Sullivan Forty-seven riders showed up for the first summer ATV poker run hosted by the Green Lake Snowmobile Club on July 5. The first riders left the clubhouse (176 Green Lake Rd. South) at 10:30 a.m. and all were back by 1 p.m. Sun, dust, a few puddles, and mosquitoes enhanced the journey as the riders stopped at five different stations for a card that would contribute towards a winning hand. The route took the riders along trails such as Moose Alley, Dudley Kill, and
Prydatok Road. The riders ranged in age
from 11 to over 75. Several volunteers
from the club made the ride possible by
checking and clearing the trails the day before. Saturday’s ride also included a lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, and pop. The top 3 poker hands: Tracy Lewis and Lucille Pellew, $50 each for the highest hands; Val Whittington, $30 for the second highest; and Barry Beblow, $20 for the third best hand. Other prize winners were: Kailly Ramstedt for making the first wrong turn; Dave Goranson, worst poker hand; Dave Plenert, dirtiest rider; Gordon Chisholm, oldest rider; and Brayden, youngest rider. All of these win-
By Carol Gulliford The dental care you provide for your child sets the stage for healthy adult teeth. Knowing what to do on a day-to-day basis will reap huge benefits for not only your child’s happiness and well-being, but also for your pocket book. A daily oral care routine for your children prevents decay and helps empower them to make dental health a lifelong priority. Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. They help children speak clearly and eat well. They also help form the jaw and hold space for adult teeth to grow into. Your children will have baby teeth until they are 12-13 years old. Here are some tips to help parents and caregivers keep those tiny teeth bright and healthy. • Avoid transferring bacteria It is best to avoid putting an object that has been in your mouth into your baby’s mouth. Babies are not born with decay-causing bacteria, but these bacteria
can be transferred from parents or caregivers to baby Licking a soother, sharing a toothbrush or spoon when testing a child’s food are some ways germs can be passed on to your child. Replacing your child’s toothbrush every three months also reduces exposure to decay causing bacteria. • Clean your child’s teeth daily Baby teeth are at risk for decay as soon as they appear. Before teeth appear, wipe your baby’s gums with a clean, wet cloth once a day, every day. Once teeth appear, brush with a rice-size amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day, every day. Once all baby teeth are in (about three years old), increase the amount of toothpaste to a pea-size amount. A parent needs to brush their child’s teeth until they can write, not print, their own name. • Lift the lip Once a month, lift the lip to check for white or brown spots on the teeth. These spots are the earliest signs of
tooth decay. To learn about Interior Health’s Lift the Lip/Fluoride Varnish Program, check out its website (http:// w w w.interiorhealth. c a / Yo u r H e a l t h / InfantsChildren/Pages/ DentalHealth.aspx). • Avoid juice, milk, sweetened drinks between meals Give plain water for thirsty children between meals. Frequent sipping on juice, milk, and sweetened drinks throughout the day increases your child’s risk for tooth decay. Limit milk and juice to regularly scheduled meal and snack times. When providing juice make sure it is 100 per cent unsweetened. Never put baby to bed with a bottle containing these beverages. Plain water is best. • Pack dentally healthy snacks Fresh food is best. Give healthy snacks like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, and grains. Sugary or starchy foods that stick to the teeth can increase your child’s risk of tooth decay. • Visit your dentist
The Canadian Dental Association recommends the first visit to be six months after the first tooth appears, usually by one year of age. Talk to your dentist about applying sealants to the first permanent molars to prevent tooth decay. Regular checkups keep teeth healthy and cost less than treating dental problems.

JONES
Michael K.B. May 24, 1973 - July 4, 2014
It is with great sadness I announce that after almost a year long courageous battle with cancer, my son Michael K.B. Jones lost the fight on July 4, 2014. Michael leaves behind his supportive and loving wife Jana (her parents Moe and Joanne Christenson, brother Dane & family) Parents Arlene (Joe) Rushton; Gordon (Deanna) Jones and his devoted sister Sheri (Lyle) Hatton. Michael also leaves behind his Step Brother Mark, Half Sisters; Chantel and Sarah, his Nieces and Nephews, his many Aunts and Uncles, Cousins, Family and Dear Friends. Michael was born in 100 Mile House on May 24, 1973 and attended 108 School from K to Grade 7. Later he moved to Nanaimo to make his home there but he never forgot his ties to the Cariboo. Michael loved the outdoors and often shared his stories of camping and fishing. Michael opened his own business in Nanaimo reaching out to youth and adults alike who loved gaming activities. Michael loved his work but he loved his wife Jana and appreciated her love for him so much more. All of us witnessed their ongoing commitment to each other. Michael will be missed as our broken hearts mend in his absence but we all know we will see him again when we reach our eternal home. Thank you to all for your tremendous support in so many caring ways. Arlene and Joe Rushton and all of Mike’s Family. There will be a Celebration of Life “To be Announced”

Lac la Hache Bakery staying true to traditional bread making
Lac la Hache Bakery co-owner Yvette Betz says she believes the bakery has been around more than 20 years. She and her European Bread Specialist husband, Frank, purchased the business in April 2011. They own and operate the bakery together, Yvette says. “We love this area and we love the bread, so we jumped when the chance presented itself,” she says of their decision to take over the business. While it hasn’t changed locations while they’ve owned it, Yvette notes the bakery was along the highway originally but it burned down. A retail space was added six years ago, which is a going concern for Lac la Hache residents and others who make a point of dropping in to pick up the popular bread on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. “We are making some new specialty bread, but we are trying to stay true to the original sourdough recipes and honour the traditional bread-making.” The Betz have six to seven full- and part-time employees. As far as community support goes, Yvette says some of their staff members have grown up in Lac la Hache and now raise their families there. “[Frank] coaches soccer and we belong to the 100 Mile Nordics and I try to volunteer there as much as I can. As a business, we try to support some of the small, local events, including the Garlic Festival, the O.A.P.O., and the Lac la Hache Father’s Day Fishing Derby”, says Yvette.

Michelle with a client
2014
Soul Concepts Aesthetics started as a home-based spa business in November 1999. Owner, Michelle Swalwell, says the family business began "organically," as she was on maternity leave from Aesthetics work and her clients just kept coming over to her house for services. She is currently in her second business location — 4765 Chilcotin Crescent — after her business outgrew the first location in the fifth year. Michelle is proud there have been several changes in the services she offers over the years. "There has been the development of several signature treatments created by collaborating with her spa clients, but one thing remains and that is the Eminence Organic Skin Care product line." Noting she has had staff members in the past, Michelle says she is currently running the business as an owner/operator. She adds Soul Concepts Aesthetics supports the community by providing discounted footcare service to seniors and diabetics, and also supports community sports and local charities. 4765 Chilcotin Cres. 108 Mile Ranch • 250-791-1972 • soulcon@telus.net

Mardi and Tom Babcock opened Selvedges Fabric & Notions in 100 Mile House on Sept. 15, 2004. Mardi says she and Tom moved to 100 Mile House because of her allergies. At that time, the fabric store was closing, Mardi says, adding Lillian’s Quilting was open, but quilt stores rarely carried the notions that sewers need (want). "We prayed about the store — well, actually I was praying it wouldn’t happen — and it seemed to us that we should, at least, investigate the possibility." Mardi says one morning in May 2004 she faced off with the Lord. "Silly me, I should have known He would win. I told Him I wanted a name for the store if He intended us to have one and I wanted to find it in the Bible." She was reading Exodus in the Bible that day and found the word "selvedge," which is the double woven edge of fabric, in Exodus 26:4. "There are only two places in the Bible where the word 'selvedge' is used and I picked one of only two days in the year when I would come across it." While the store, which has three employees, hasn’t changed locations over the years, the services and products have changed as the Babcocks started as a fabric store, but now the focus is on quilting. As far as supporting the community, Mardi says the quilt guilds in the area are very active in charity work, and Selvedges supports them by giving them batting and thread at cost, as well as donating to charity auctions for other causes.

Frank Dobbs, along with his wife Vivian and son-in-law Dan Kay now run 100 Mile Feed & Ranch Supply, which was opened by his parents Frank and Dorothy Dobbs a half century ago. The Dobbs family and their 10 staff members will be celebrating their 50th anniversary on August 16 and they are looking forward to having their customers, friends and neighbours drop in for the momentous occasion. Frank says the business has always focused on feed, ranch and farm supply. "It was a business that was needed in the 100 Mile House area." Frank and Vivian are not only well-known in 100 Mile House, but they also have many friends and customers in the vast ranching areas of the South Cariboo and beyond. 100 Mile Feed used to be situated along Highway 97 before they moved to Exeter Road in 1974. After five decades in business, there were bound to be changes in products and services. "Services have expanded to meet customers' needs and expectations," Frank explains. The Dobbs have been great supporters of the community over the years and have provided many sponsorships that are too numerous to mention.

The wilderness park, larger than the country of Switzerland at more that 500,000 hectares and located northeast of 100 Mile House in central British Columbia, has five major lakes within its boundaries and sees more than 125,000 visitors from around the world every year. Blackwell Park Operations Ltd. has been the park contractor since 1989, and it’s also celebrating 25 years of business. Paul and Karen Blackwell are the longtime operators, along with
Provincial Park celebrates 75 years their son, Merlin, who now runs the company full time. “The best thing about Wells Gray is it really hasn’t changed in 25 years in any major way, and people respect that,” says Merlin. “They’re still amazed every day by the beauty of it and the pristine nature of it without having to add bells and whistles. “Wells Gray is one of the premiere parks in the province. We’re so well-known around the world.” The park, which includes a variety of destinations and attractions, is home to black bears, grizzlies, moose, mountain goats, caribou,

wolves, cougar and many other animal species, and great fishing. Although the great outdoor attractions have been mostly left untouched, Merlin notes that like anything, the park has seen some changes over the years.

Paul also talks about government cutbacks and more responsibility on the shoulders of contractors for running the park and the many things that entails. “Now we really look after almost anything and there are virtually no

Now, I believe we may have three or four [in the Wells Gray] area.” Underscoring some of the inevitable risks associated with the great outdoors, Paul talks about “one of the worst days” of his life about 15 years ago. As a forest fire threatened to isolate the north end of the Wells Gray corridor at Clearwater Lake and Paul was busy on the radio helping to co-ordinate a response, a woman started screaming frantically about her boyfriend disappearing into a

But the body of the fisherman who went into the river was never found, he says. “That’s the extreme,” Paul says. “On the other hand, we meet fabulous people from all over the world and give them an amazing experience, watching bears and other wildlife, and seeing this pristine wilderness. The Europeans, especially the Germans and the Swiss, think that Wells Gray is heaven on Earth.”

Shakespeare course enjoyed by 100 Mile, Williams Lake homeschoolers What’s On Homeschool report
Cory Mapson
The homeschoolers of the 100 Mile area did a William Shakespeare course to learn about this famous playwright. Teacher Kristy Coombes led the course. Bonita Mercier, the mother who hosted the course, said it was a wonderful opportunity to learn about Shakespeare and to “just have fun.” Some of the projects the homeschoolers did included building an Elizabethan theatre out of popsicle sticks, watching the movie Gnomeo and Juliet, battling each other with the kind of insults Shakespeare would have used in his time, exploring his most famous quotes, and making a giant newspaper.
Williams Lake student Mackenzie Maganowski said her favourite thing about the course was meeting new people, whereas Brandon Mercier said he liked the many different projects the most. The course ended with a barbecue at a beach at Lac la Hache. Everyone had fun learning and studying about the everso-famous William Shakespeare. Cory Mapson, 13, is home schooled in 100 Mile House.
Here’s a convenient listing of upcoming arts, entertainment and cultural events by non-profit groups in the South Cariboo. To be included, call 250-395-2219 at least one week before the event.

Interlakes Rodeo rides again
Bronc-busting action launches new twists, drill team Free Press
Get ready to grab your hat and boots because the 24th Annual Interlakes Rodeo organizers are rounding up the final program for a rousing two days of prime rodeo action Aug. 2-3. The usual British Columbia Rodeo Association (BCRA) action will once again present bare back and saddle broncs; tiedown and break-away roping; bull riding; and junior steer roping, barrel racing and break-away roping; and ladies’ and peewee barrel racing. Hosted by the Interlakes Community Association, rodeo committee chair Carney Myers says there are both new and always-popular competitions this year, with performances beginning at 1 p.m. each day. “Our big seller is the mutton busting, and that is for the little kids. This year, we are also having a calf scramble rather than a pig scramble, which will allow a lot more prizes – more kids will win.” Having four ribbons tied to the calves will allow about 20 young
winners rather than just a few, she explains. Myers notes these children’s competitions will happen during the mid-afternoon intermissions. The 2014 Interlakes Rodeo will also introduce an all-new and all-local girl’s ad hoc drill team, she adds. This new volunteer group is still a small drill team of about six to eight riders, and is dubbed Hearts and Hoofbeats. “They are going to bring the flags in for us this year, and they are all people from 100 Mile House and Interlakes.” A couple of new booths expected this year will offer homemade pies, cotton candy and popcorn, along with the usual vendors with western tack, saddles and hats, she adds. The beverage garden will be running once again in a segregated area, and the concession is “always really good,” she notes. Myers encourages everyone to mark the dates on their calendar and turn out to the Interlakes Community Hall rodeo grounds at Roe Lake on Highway 24 to enjoy all the action. “It’s a fun afternoon

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK
ASK AN EXPERT: What can I do to keep our home safe while on vacation?
ONE STOREY TBM1880
Total Living Area: 1880
Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2.5
Consider Hiring A House-or Pet-Sitter The best way to make sure your house is safe while you’re gone is to have someone you trust still living in it. You may have a relative who’ll move in temporarily and water the plants, feed the pets and pick up the newspapers. If not, there are services you can use for house-sitting and pet-sitting while you’re away. This can be a pricey option, but it’s a solution that touches all the bases. Hold Your Mail Go to your Post Office or go to the Canada Post webpage and submit a hold mail request. Stop Newspaper Delivery A pile newspapers on the doorstep is a movie cliché for a home that’s unoccupied. Stopping the newspaper when you leave town for a while is an easy detail to forget and one that will make you a sure target. Keep Eyes On Your Property Because you can’t plan for every contingency, have someone in the area check your house periodically. Whether it’s a neighbour or relative, nothing beats having a person check the premises every day or two while you’re gone. Hey, while they’re there, they can water the petunias. Make Your Home Look Lived In An occupied home looks lived in. Lights go on and off, and cars come and go. To help create the illusion that the residence is still occupied, invest in timers that turn on the interior lights for a few hours every evening. If you can get a neighbour to take out your garbage and put the cans back after the garbage pickup, it’s another way to send the message that everything is proceeding normally at your house. Keep The Landscape Trimmed Overgrown and neglected lawns make it easy to come to the conclusion that you’re not around. Hire someone to take care of the landscaping chores in your absence. Lock Up This seems so obvious, but easy to forget. If you keep a window unlocked to allow the cat easy access, or never bother to turn the deadbolt on the kitchen door, now’s the time to clean up your act. Locking your home makes it less attractive to opportunistic burglars. If you don’t make it easy, there’s a better chance that when you get home, your house will be in the same condition as when you left it. Don’t Project Your Moves Use caution when you talk about your trip. Social Media isn’t the best place to announce that you’ll be away from home for a month. Being aware of who’s around when you discuss your trip in restaurants and even at work isn’t a bad idea either. Make sure that your children are discreet, too. The less information you put out there, the less likely it is to reach the wrong ears and eyes. Pull the Plug On Electronics Disconnecting the power to some of your electronics, like your desktop computer, coffee pot and television can save you money while you’re gone and eliminate the worry that you’ve accidentally left them on by mistake. Turning off your garage door is also an effective way to keep thieves from opening it with a universal remote. Install Added Security Features Installing a home security system or even just exterior lights that run on timers is a good way to ramp up security around the old homestead and make your house safer whether you’re around or not. One of the nice things about these features is that they’re working when you’re awake, asleep, on vacation or hosting an outdoor barbecue. They fade into the background as far as you’re concerned, but still make your property less attractive to opportunistic thieves. PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED

Community fall fair produces fun for all, in downscaled event
Carole Rooney Free Press
Do you grow the sweetest tomatoes, bake the tastiest cake, or knit the finest wool sweater in the community? The South Cariboo Community Fall Fair is gearing up for another great event with a wide variety of competing exhibits, vendor booths and activities for the whole family Sept. 5-6. Organizer Laura Albert says the fall fair will take place over two days, downscaled from the former threeday event. As always, it takes place at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, she adds.
“There is going to be a fall fair. [People] can pick up their package [at Canlan Ice Sports] if they want to be in the trade show, and for exhibits, they can [register] online at www.100milefallfair. com.” The new-format fair will now span the Friday night (Sept. 5, 5-9 p.m.) and the Saturday with slightly extended hours (Sept. 6, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.), Albert explains. “Registrations for the trade show are coming in. People are ‘on it’, they are picking up now.” A Kid Zone area will have bouncy castles and other activities for
the children, she notes. Albert says several “cool” contests will be happening, including a new Graffiti Contest for youth (under age 18) sponsored by Andrés Electronic Experts that will award cash and prizes. Participants will paint graffiti designs on specially designated boards prior to the fair to be judged on the Friday night, she explains. (Check ahead for contest rules.) “Finalists will have their boards displayed at the fair.” Albert adds the top winner’s design will then also be emblazoned on the Andrés
delivery van. Meanwhile, there are a wide variety of exhibit categories for adults, youth and children to enter, covering all sorts of home and farm products, flower and vegetable gardening, arts, crafts, photography and more. Watch for the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair information booklets for details on exhibits and contests, which Albert says will be available shortly. Even if you don’t think your entry will win, you won’t know
Fun activity centre for all to enjoy
By Doris E Rufli A big truck backed up to the Forest Grove Elementary School entrance recently. Volunteers were at hand to unload the first delivery of the new playground to be stored in the gym until the weekend when the assembly was to begin. A second delivery was made the following day. The next day, more volunteers started arriving to move the parts necessary for the initial installation from the gym to the outside. They were laid out for easy assembly, while the metal base was being welded and set up. The area had been prepared and levelled earlier, and everything was set to go. Then a two-day weekend blitz says the
playground assembled and the site cleaned up, including the disposal of all the plastic and other wrapping of the various parts. All in all, 20-plus volunteers came together to assemble the new playground in one weekend. Shawn Wilson, a certified installer, oversaw the entire undertaking and everyone worked hard but also had a great time, with discussions going on during (rain) breaks, while indulging in the food and sweets. During the following week-and-a-half, grav-
el and the surrounding boards were laid to complete the project. The new playground is completed and available to everyone. Doris E Rufli is the Forest Grove correspondent.
