Ministry pledges policies alleviating CRD concerns

Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Regional District directors are breathing a collective sigh of relief after receiving confirmation from two provincial ministers that medical marijuana grow operations will not be granted farm status for tax assessments. CRD chair Al Richmond says the concern was these commercial operations would pursue a tax break

under the tenuous grounds that the marijuana was an agriculture crop. “The ministry recognizes the concern we all had with regards to taxation levels, that this industrial type activity would flow to areas that pay agricultural taxation rather than commercial taxation. “So, they have addressed that, and we are happy about – it is a good thing.” The letter from Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick and

“This means they are not going to be able to hide behind a farm tax class to grow this type of drug.” Otherwise, he adds, having farm status would allow “a very lucrative business” to not pay “fair” property taxation. “So, this is where [the ministries] have agreed with us that it is commercial. It’s almost verging on warehousing; it’s not even a greenhouse operation.” Continued on A4

No legislated settlement for teachers

The voice of the South Cariboo since 1960

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes states any marijuana production facilities on agricultural land will not qualify for lower farm-rate property taxes. “They are going to implement a regulatory change that excludes marijuana and any other federally-regulated narcotic from being eligible for farm classification for property assessment and tax purposes,” says Richmond.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says the provincial government will not impose a settlement on the British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) if no contract is signed by this fall. History proves imposed settlements have not worked, and every other sector of the public service has been able to negotiate an agreement, he notes. “What is it about this one area, and is it the expectation the government will step up and simply legislate an agreement? I hope that’s not the expectation because that’s not the plan.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association president Murray Helmer says that holds no water. “It was always our intention to have a negotiated settlement at the bargaining table. Government’s pointing to its refusal to legislate an end to the strike seems to be “a deflection” to steer public attention away from the bargaining table and onto teachers, he adds. “It switches the whole context away from the table. This could be negotiated tomorrow if they arrived at the table willing to get away from the original position that they brought back in March. They haven’t moved at all from that.” Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the

B.C. Liberal government wants to see a negotiated agreement, but remains firm in its commitment to balance the budget and deal fairly with all of B.C.’s 300,000 public sector workers. “Unfortunately, the BCTF executive would not commit to mediating a total compensation package that would fall in the same affordability zone as the other public sector agreements reached to date.” The teachers’ union demands include increases to preparation time, pregnancy leave, extended health care and substitute teacher compensation that add up to an additional $225 million a year, Fassbender explains.

Clinton breaks temperature records

Carole Rooney Free Press

Twenty communities in British Columbia broke high-temperature records across the province on July 13. In the South Cariboo, Clinton broke records on four days last week (although not on July 13). On July 16, Environment Canada (EC) meteorologist Allan Coldwells notes high temperatures in Clinton reached record maximum temperatures on July 12 (33.3 C from 31.4 C), July 14 (32.5 from 31.8), July 15 (32.8 from 30.7) and July 16 (30 from 28.9). He agrees with speculations that 100 Mile House would likely have also broken registered records – if it had a weather monitoring station in place. “We have had a string of records set in Clinton, so the assumption is 100 Mile House probably has been setting records as well, which were several degrees warmer because usually it is....” This is because the Clinton weath-

er station is 1,057 metres (3,468 feet), while 100 Mile House (in general) is actually lower – and warmer – at 927 m (3,041 ft), he says. Coldwells notes a new record is set whenever maximum or minimum temperatures recorded in EC monitoring data exceed the highs or lows recorded since each station was installed, which in some cases go back more than 100 years. No records were set in Williams Lake in last week’s heat wave because its EC records go back a long way – with peak values for July 14-16 seen in 1941. “That was a really hot year across a large part of the province. So, those records are in the upper 30s across the region – and actually one day was over 40.” However, high temperatures are being seen pretty consistently across B.C., he adds. “We basically have a fairly stagnant [stationary, low-wind] ridge pattern extending from southwest to northeast through Southern B.C.,

and that’s what has brought the hot dry conditions and record breaking to many areas. “With that, of course ... some forest fires developed, in the Chilcotin particularly, and that is bringing the smoke down to the large part of Central and Southern Interior.” Coldwells says that smoke layer can also help reduce the maximum temperatures, except for the intense heat quite near to a fire – which can even cause its own weather system. “In the worst-case scenario, you can actually get lightning from an intense forest fire where it creates its own cumulonimbus, which is a lightning-producing cloud.” While 100 Mile House had a weather monitoring station years ago, EC has had no recorded observations for many years, he notes. Coldwells explains EC does not use temperature recordings made by local amateurs or independent weather stations. “We would definitely utilize information that they provide us in terms

of hail and thunderstorms – the weather elements. But for temperatures, we can’t really rely on them as much because they are not to the standards we need to have.” So, what can 100 Mile House residents do to lobby for a local weather station? Coldwells says it needs to be done at the federal level (in this case, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod). “If there is enough push, maybe that can help to get interest.” Since 100 Mile House and the immediate surrounding area has about 20,000 residents, and the weather station at Williams Lake is 90 kilometres north, the EC meteorologist suggests these facts should be mentioned in any weather station requests communicated to government. “That’s a good argument, and you know the temperature does vary several degrees, and on summer days could be as much as five or six degrees. That can be important.”

However, the province allows these facilities to operate on agricultural land in or outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve, but this still can’t legally happen in the CRD, where bylaws prohibit it.

A wildfire crew from 100 Mile House was first on scene at the forest fire burning at Soda Creek, which started July 13 after a CN train went through sparking fires along a two-mile stretch of the track. A 100 Mile crew returning from firefighting up north happened to be nearby when the call came in. Water bombers began retrieving water from McLeese Lake by July 14. By July 18, the wildland blaze covered 122 hectares, and 39 firefighters and two helicopters had it 90 per cent contained. Updates are at www.bcwildfire.ca.

HEALTH CONTRACT The government’s Health Employers’ Association of BC has reached a five-year tentative agreement with the Professional Association of Residents of British Columbia. The contract covers about 1,200 medical residents who are employed at B.C.’s five health authorities, the B.C. Cancer Agency, B.C. Children’s Hospital, B.C.

RCMP patrolling South Cariboo lakes Safety equipment, driver proficiency card, proper licensing watch on person towed, towing a person after dark and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.” He notes other marine offences that may be enforced relate to the operation of the vessel and the interaction with other vessels, lights, etc.

Ken Alexander Free Press

Noting the RCMP is doing boat patrols in the South Cariboo this summer, 100 Mile House RCMP Staff/Sgt. Blake Ward says the onus will be on vessel operators and owners to ensure they comply with the regulations and have safe vessels. The focus will begin with education, he adds. “We will be trying to spread the word to all boaters about their need to make sure their vessels have all of their necessary safety equipment, that they have their Pleasure Craft Operators Proficiency cards and that their vessels are properly

licensed.” Ward notes the RCMP has a variety of options depending on the circumstances. “We can start with verbal or written warnings and increase up to tickets, directing the vessel to return to shore, and court appearances.’ When it comes to alcohol and vessel operation, he explains it is no different than driv-

ing a motor vehicle. A vessel operator who has consumed alcohol or drugs may be charged under the Criminal Code if his or her ability to operate a motor vessel is impaired by alcohol or drugs, Ward notes. “Other Criminal Code offences we may encounter could be dangerous operation of a vessel, failure to keep

Boat checks 100 Mile House RCMP members were out on the water last week. Patrols were made on Sheridan and Horse lakes and several vessels were checked. The majority of vessels checked did not have their vessel licence documents on board with them. All pleasure craft with

a motor greater than 10 hp is required to be either licensed or registered in Canada and have the vessel licence clearly marked on both sides of the vessel. The operator must carry the licence or registration papers on board the vessel as proof of ownership. If found operating a vessel that is not licensed in Canada, operating a vessel not marked as prescribed, or failure to provide forthwith the vessel documents, all of these offences carry fines of $250 plus a victim surcharge. Anyone wishing to licence their vessel can do so through Shared Services Canada. If a vessel has been pur-

chased in the United States, prior to applying for a Canadian vessel licence, the owner must have properly cleared Canada Customs and paid the applicable duty and taxes.

Anyone looking for more information on vessel licensing can check out the Transport Canada marine website or call the Boating Safety Hotline at 1-800267-6687.

Fire prohibitions placed on region Campfires are banned throughout the entire Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC). The prohibitions will remain in place until Sept. 30, 2014, or until the public is informed otherwise. The fire danger rating is currently “high” throughout the CFC, with some areas rated “extreme.” No open burning Open burning is also banned throughout the CFC. This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches, chimineas and burning barrels. The ban doesn’t apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that use briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The open burning prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced

by a fire department. Check with local authorities for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Penalty warning Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, or if convicted in court, may be fined up to

$100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. Coverage area The Cariboo

Fire

Centre covers an area of about 10.3 million hectares, stretching from Loon Lake in the south to just north of Quesnel at the Cottonwood River. From east to west, the boundaries stretch from the western edge of Wells Gray Provincial Park to the eastern boundary of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.

Fire chief satisfied with mill dust control Ainsworth, West Fraser mills ‘doing due diligence’

Carole Rooney Free Press

Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond has announced she is accepting all 43 recommendations in a WorkSafeBC review and action plan for sawmill safety released July 15. The 192-page document prepared by WorkSafeBC administrator Gordon Macatee is part of his six-point mandate that followed two deadly mill explosions in the north in 2012. The plan reveals sawmill compliance with dust control standards has gone from 58 to 84 per cent in the latest, Phase 4 round of inspections. However, WorkSafeBC’s inspections of 15 pellet mills, pressboard and oriented strand board manufacturers showed they are at a 40 per cent compliance rate, which Bond says is “disappointing.” 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue (OMHFR) chief Darrell Blades is one of several instructors teaching under the Fire Inspection and Prevention Initiative

(FIPI), and he responds to WorksafeBC referrals for mill follow-ups when fire safety-related non-compliances are found. He says the OSB plants only recently went through inspections, and it takes time to pass the results along, so he doubts it was included in Macatee’s report. “I think that ‘40 per cent’ is probably from the last round of inspections. [And] the OSB and pressboard and pellets were not inspected in the first couple of phases.”

“

We have been working very well with both industrial sites in town." – Darrell Blades

Blades has not seen Bond’s news release – but in it, the Minister Responsible for Labour, doesn’t mention what inspection phase the pellet/pressboard/OSB plants are at, despite noting the sawmills’ improvement from Phase 3. Locally, Ainsworth

Reducing health risks from smoky air Widespread wildfires wreak havoc with air quality

Carole Rooney Free Press

Health risks from breathing forest fire smoke are on the rise as the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) peaked at a “high risk” Level 8 (out of 10) in Williams Lake on July 16, similar to the smoky (but unmonitored) air recently experienced in 100 Mile House. Resident public health physician Dr. Lizette Elumir says watching AQHI reports during times of forest fires is a good practice, but anytime you are noticing symptoms it is time to take action. “If you are starting to get things like a scratchy throat, or you’re coughing, or you have got chest pain, or you are having a hard time breathing – that is warning you whatever is in the air is starting to irritate your throat and your lungs. “You really need to get into an area of clean

air, so indoors would probably be your best bet.”

To further reduce your risk, indoor highefficiency particulate air cleaners can also be helpful for some, she adds. Elumir explains when air quality index shows a reading for PM2.5, this means the particles in the air are fine particles small enough to get deep into the lungs. “You don’t want to be smoking or even vacuuming because those produce particles as well.” Interior Health guidelines also suggest

avoiding smoke-producing appliances, such as wood stoves and candles. Some smoke particles are tiny enough to get through the lungs and are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Elumir says it is a good idea for people to consult their physicians, as everyone’s health needs are different.

There is an increased risk of experiencing worse symptoms from smoky air if you have asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], heart disease, diabetes or any other chronic health disease, she explains. Children, seniors (even if healthy), pregnant women and people who are doing

very active work or sports outside are also more at risk. “Infants and young children for sure because they breathe faster and they breathe deeper, are more susceptible to symptoms.” If it is hot, be sure to avoid excessive heat, use air-conditioning where possible and drink plenty of water to stay

hydrated, she adds. However, people who work outside might not have many choices, so having some knowledge about the risks is a good idea, Elumir adds. “We are trying to tell people to be cautious, keep it in mind, be aware, and then as soon as you feel something ‘off ’, just do something – take a break, go inside.”

Unfortunately, basic filter masks don’t help reduce such tiny particulate, she notes. More information on reducing smoke-related health risks and on forest fire emergency preparedness is online at www.interiorhealth. ca/YourEnvironment/ E m e r g e n c y Preparedness/Pages/ Forest-Fires.aspx.

District of 100 Mile House annual report reflects restraint

Kudos, award given by federal business association Carole Rooney Free Press

District of 100 Mile House council recently approved the release of its 2013 Annual Report.

Mayor Mitch Campsall says the key component in the report was that the District was recognized by the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses as one of the Top 10 Most Improved municipalities. “It is for reducing our capital spending. We have been recognized by them that we are working on it, and they see what we are doing and where we are going.”

The 100 Mile Community Forest is an example of sound financial practices, he explains. “It’s in our AAC [allowable annual cut] – creating approximately $5 million worth of direct and indirect stimulus to the local economy.” Campsall encourages residents to read the report to see the “tons” of improvements it outlines, many of which are summarized

in its included mayor’s letter. “We completed the long-term security review, completed the Centennial Park bridges, continued downtown revitalization, completed the fleet equipment upgrades. You know, we’ve done quite a bit this past year, and it has been a busy year. “It has been a hard year, and I’d say we’ve moved quite a bit forward. So, it shows that

we are trying.” Residents and businesses had a chance to review the report and make comments when council formally discussed it at the regular council meeting on June 24. The report can be viewed now, and copies are available, at the District of 100 Mile House office at 385 Birch Ave.

Union: wages not the point From A1

However, Helmer says the prime focus of government seems to be preventing any blame for the failure to successfully bargain from landing on them. “They don’t want a legislated deal and they don’t want to negotiate one, either. I think they just simply don’t want a deal.” Only wages apply in the “me too” clause for reopening other public sector union contracts when another one settles for more money, so this pokes holes in Fassbender’s argument also, Helmer explains. “He’s making it sound like our wage demand is the problem. Our wage demand is smaller than what CUPE [Canadian Union of Public Employees] has

250-395-7494

settled for; it’s certainly in line with other public sector unions.” Helmer notes the BCTF has submitted two packages with reduced demands while government “sat with the exact same package” each time. “We have just begun ‘bargaining with ourselves’ at this point. We come back to the table and government says ‘no you haven’t dropped enough, go away and drop some more off ’.” He says the BCTF is asking for a larger lump-sum payment than offered by government in lieu of the “substantially” more costly past grievances, which it would then agree to forfeit. Helmer notes those grievances are numerous, date back to the imposed contract in 2002 and were deemed by the Supreme

Court as unconstitutional in 2011. “But, they’ve made it clear they have no intention of abiding by the Chief Justice’s ruling; they say they don’t agree with it so they don’t have to follow it. It’s just a snub of the court system. “But, the grievance process is going to be an onerous process and a time-consuming process going back 12 years and adjusting and compensating on an individual basis.” The bottom line is that government wants “absolutely no mention” of class size and composition in the collective agreement, he explains. “[We] hold to our guns in saying that this is the key to making sure that our education system addresses the needs of students.”

Time to refund taxpayers for school dispute

t’s happened to all of us at some point.

You go to a store, preorder something, pay for the purchase and wait for it to arrive. But what happens when the order never comes in? What if you don’t get what you paid for? The remedy is simple: you demand a refund. This summer, British Columbians have been put in that exact situation, thanks to the ongoing labour dispute between the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). Taxpayers paid more than $200 million in taxes for educational services, which were not delivered in June. Therefore, we should get a refund. The teachers’ dispute started with three weeks of rotating strikes, which saved government $18.5 million per week. When they went to a full strike, the savings grew to $80 million for each of the

last two weeks of June. More “the system,” and certainly has been saved with the cannot to labour unions. cellation of summer school.

GUEST SHOT

t has been a couple of weeks since we heard from the B.C. Liberal government and the British Columbia public school teachers regarding the status of negotiating a settlement, so teachers can get back to work in the fall. On July 15, Finance Minister Mike de Jong warned the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) his government is not going to legislate an agreement to end the potential disruption of students heading back to school. Murray Helmer, who is the local Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association president, says de Jong’s warning doesn’t hold much water because teachers don’t want a legislated agreement. The minister says history proves imposing an agreement doesn’t work and Helmer says it never works out in favour of the teachers. So, both sides agree they don’t want an imposed agreement. However, this appears to be the only point they agree on. From there, both sides have dug their heels in and are waiting for the other side to blink. They are still as far apart on wages and benefits as they were when a full-blown teachers’ strike shut down the public school system two weeks early in June. The sticking point at the negotiating table is the provincial government wants to put both the teachers’ wage and benefits demands into one package, while the BCTF states they are two separate issues and they should be dealt with separately. The BCTF won’t move on the benefits package and notes there’s no mention of class size and compensation in the collective agreement. However, the teachers have come back to the table twice with lowered wage demands. The government said it won’t move because every other public service union settled for agreements within the B.C. Liberals balanced-budget mandate. There is a fear that if they signed a bigger deal with the teachers, the other public service sectors will want to invoke the “me-too” clause in their agreements to get a similar deal. However, Helmer says that would only involve wage hikes, and the BCTF’s wage demand is lower than what CUPE got. The real problem is the province doesn’t want to bend to the BCTF’s demands because it doesn’t want to get away from the wage scale it reached with other public sector unions because they don’t have the money. However, the lack of money hasn’t stopped the B.C. Liberals from handing out some hefty raises to some of its top political staff members this year, according to NDP education critic Rob Fleming. The raises went from a high of 14.4 per cent to a low of 9.15 per cent. Meanwhile, the tough talk and finger-pointing might dissipate and real bargaining may begin when we close in on September.

other government union has settled two or three reasonable contracts with the province over the past six years, the BCTF has engaged in bitter personal attacks and strayed far beyond a mandate to promote education, instead fighting every major economic development in the province. For those who believe public education is underfunded in B.C., they could take their $40 refund cheque and donate it to a local school district foundation. Others could use the money how they see fit. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have been suspiciously tightlipped about how the strike savings will be spent.

Opinion

Tories should stop court appeal To the editor: Canada has long been a safe haven for those seeking protection from violence and persecution in troubled parts of the world, but our reputation for compassion has been called into question by the Conservative government’s decision to deny refugee claimants health care. Since 1957, the federal government has provided health coverage to refugees arriving in Canada, many of whom are among the most vulnerable people in the world.

Two years ago, Employment and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney ended this compassionate practice, forcing doctors to deny coverage to some of the people in the greatest need. The human toll has been considerable. Refugees, most of whom will become Canadian residents, who can’t access care typically delay seeking treatment until their conditions worsen. That leads to undiagnosed and untreated problems, greater health complications

Canadian bids not competitive

To the editor: The reason for the last three BC Ferries ships being built overseas was to shop for the best dollar value for the British Columbia taxpayer. It’s exactly the identical way all B.C. taxpayers shop the market when buying items in their personal lives that has to be paid from their very own hip pocket. In the last bidding process, there were 14 bids for construction with only three from within Canada. The final bid went to Flensburger shipyards in Germany because its final bid was still 40 per cent below the lowest Canadian bid. The Flensburger contract had personal guarantees on delivery dates and performance. If the

ships were not timely delivered, BC Ferries was permitted to levy penalties of $40,000 per day up to a maximum of $6 million, and after 180 days, BC Ferries could rescind the contract for a full refund. It was a win-win situation. The B.C. taxpayers were the real winners in the construction costs of these three new ferries. Not one of the three Canadian company bids could come anywhere near the contract and the “guarantees” in Germany’s Flensburger bid. New ferries will not be built by Canadian companies unless they become more competitive. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

and higher costs to the healthcare system when they eventually arrive for treatment in emergency centres. This downloads costs to already cash-strapped provincial governments, and shifts care to emergency rooms, which are the most expensive way to deliver health care. But worst of all, denying the initial care creates preventable suffering among the most vulnerable. The impact on pregnancies is particularly heart-wrenching. In many cases, refugees’ newborns are premature, underdeveloped,

with neurological problems and other complications because their mothers couldn’t get prenatal care. These newborns, who are Canadian by birth, will end up costing our health and education systems much more. It’s no wonder virtually every medical organization in Canada was outraged at these cuts and the medical community has held annual rallies opposing them since they were announced. The Federal Court recently agreed, striking down the cut because it “puts [refugee claim-

ants’] lives at risk, and perpetuates the stereotypical view that they are cheats, that their refugee claims are ‘bogus.’ It undermines their dignity and serves to perpetuate [their] disadvantage.” The cuts to refugee health care have always been morally wrong and fiscally short-sighted. The Conservatives must drop their appeal to the Federal Court ruling and reverse the cuts. Hedy Fry, MP Liberal Party of Canada Health Critic

Tory government must double commitment To the editor: There is an ugly and protracted battle going on between British Columbia’s teachers and provincial government, and as predictable as those conflicts are, so must follow endless public hand-wringing about the fate of the children, and the potential dire impacts of a disrupted education. The majority of the world can only look at our situation and think: “We should be so lucky.” Currently, 57 million primarygrade children are out of school. Barely half of all countries are

expected to provide primary education by next year. Yet it used to be much worse: due to the efforts of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and donors like Canada, since 1999 the number of uneducated children worldwide has been halved. A good example is Afghanistan: the number of children attending school has gone from one to 11.5 million, and almost half are girls. However, the need is enormous, and later this month the GPE is slated for renewed funding, and is facing an annual shortfall of $26 billion.

Canada needs to double its current commitment of $60 million if the GPE is to achieve its goal. Compared to B.C., the challenges facing education in the rest of the world are far more dire. While B.C.’s education issues are complex, this one is very simple. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government doubling its commitment will help ensure the GPE reaches those final 57 million kids.

hen the audited public accounts confirmed a $353-million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign. Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan. “It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said thenleader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more. Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health-care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October, so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the (budding) liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to greenlight the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as nowNDP Leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

I come from Calgary and it was really smoky there. I had a bit of a cough. But it cleared up here before we arrived. Smoky air is why we decided to come here, rather than go to the Okanagan where the big fire and evacuation is happening.

It was smoky, but we felt fine. The only thing that bothered me at all was that I could not fly my plane. We could not take off out of the 100 Mile House Airport.

No, not really. I have no respiratory problems. But it is certainly nice to have the clean air now.

Well, the house stunk and we could not open the windows at night. But I remember the fires from four years ago, and the smoke was way worse then.

Hydro outage sparks small blaze Blown BC Hydro equipment ignited a small grass fire, causing a power outage that left Save-On-Foods and other area customers in the dark for three hours on July 17. Residents report they heard a bang and saw a flash around 2:30 p.m., so they ran outside, grabbed a garden hose and extinguished the grass burning below the power pole. 100 Mile House Fire-

Occupants injuries not life-threatening

Around 3:22 p.m. on July 14, Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services and the 100 Mile House RCMP members were dispatched to attend a single-vehicle incident on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road near the intersection of Roseneau Road. They located a van, which was significantly damaged, in the trees around 100 metres off of Canim-Hendrix Lake Road. Investigation revealed the vehicle had been travelling at a high rate of speed when it lost control on a corner and went off of the road. The vehicle skipped through a clearing and

smashed into a tree. Upon colliding with the tree, the vehicle spun 360 degrees coming to rest on a guy wire adjacent to a hydro pole. The male driver, a 26-year-old Canim Lake resident, was located a short distance from the vehicle straddling a tree. Scene evidence suggested the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected through the rear window of the van. The 30-year-old female passenger, also from Canim Lake, was wearing her seatbelt and the airbag deployed. Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department and 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue

100 Mile House Lions Club member Judy Simkins says club members planted four trees – two hawthorns, a mountain ash and a crabapple tree – at Parkside Art Gallery on June 23 as part of an ongoing beautification project. She notes two of the trees were donated by the Lions, while one was donated by the Lone Butte Gardens and the other was provided by Horse Lake Garden Centre. Noting the 100 Mile House Lions Club built the building the gallery is in during the 1960s, Simkins says it was suggested the club get involved in the Communities in Bloom project three years ago. “Because I work across from Parkside Art Gallery and I saw the mess every day, I suggested the club take on the beautification of the gallery gardens. So, we went in and gave the garden a good cleanup.” The District of 100 Mile House came in and finished it because the roots were

CFEC hires temporary key worker

Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) executive director Lisa De Paoli says Shawna Price has accepted the position of temporary CDBC/ FASD key worker, as a maternity leave replacement. CDBC is an abbreviation for Complex Developmental and Behavioural Condition,

cation and restricted and repetitive behaviour, De Paoli explains. “A key worker is a non-judgmental helper who will guide families through the assessment process and work with schools and other agencies within the community.” Price has worked with children, youth and adults with special

needs for a decade. She has a bachelor of child and youth care from the University of the Fraser Valley and a psychosocial rehabilitation graduate diploma from Douglas College.

To contact Price and get more information about the services provided by the CDBC/ FASD key worker, call 250-395-5155 or e-mail sprice@cariboofamily. org.

Site Lodge and Fischer Place purchase things they need to provide quality care. It’s going to have some challenges, Devine says of her new position. “It’s about going out there and doing your best to enlist other people and have donors keep donating, so we can keep this hospital going.” Devine, who has more than 30 years experience in the communications field previously with BC Tel, says it’s a challenge to fund quality health care, and communities can’t solely rely on provincial funding.

Riders from far and wide

Top results are in for Watch Lake Green Lake Gymkhana By Mark McMillan It was thought the blazing sun and high temperatures would decrease the number of horses/competitors at the Watch Lake Green Lake Gymkhana on July 12, but that was not the case. It was, indeed, very hot and often quite dusty in the arena, but the 41 entries all had a super time. Riders came from far and wide, including Williams Lake, Lone Butte, 100 Mile House, 150 Mile, Clinton, Heffley Creek, Bridge Lake, Little Green Lake, Kamloops and Kelowna. The four main classes (where points are accumulated towards an aggregate trophy) were pole bending, stake race, barrel race and keyhole race. There were also two novelty races with nine teams of three in the baton race, and 13 entries in the musical tires – both always fun events for spectators and competitors alike. The next Watch Lake Green Lake Gymkhana will be on Aug. 9, with a start time of noon. There's a concession and a refreshment garden on site, and there's lots of seating ... or folks can bring lawn chairs and sit under the trees. This is one of the oldest running gymkhanas in Canada and it's held on one of the most picturesque gymkhana grounds, too. It's a fun

Wranglers hockey on the horizon A second season of Junior B hockey in 100 Mile House is fast approaching. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League released its schedule for the 2014/15 season and the Wranglers, coming off a second-round playoff berth in its inaugural season, starts its next campaign on a three-game road trip. The local club takes on the Grand Forks Border Bruins in the season opener on Sept. 12.

On Sept. 13, the Wranglers meet the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks, and on Sept. 14, they face-off against the Spokane Braves. The home opener at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre is on Sept. 19 against the Summerland Steam. The club's tryout camp is scheduled Aug. 22-24 and it's offering a junior prep camp Aug. 19-22. For more information on the camps, peo-

ple can e-mail the team's new coach and general manager, Dale “Duner” Hladun, at coachduner@100milewranglers.com. Luke Santerno, the Wranglers top scorer last season, recently committed to the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the British Columbia Hockey League. Santerno notched 45 points in 47 regular season games, including seven in the playoffs. The Smithers forward won rookie of the year in the Doug Birks Division.

Ty Lytton of Lone Butte partnered with Myles King of 150 Mile and finished in the money in a team roping event recently. The pair scored third place in a British Columbia Rodeo Association event in Pritchard on July 12-13. King and Lytton scored a time of 8.2 seconds and earned a payout of $403.20 each.

SPECIAL O GOLF Local golfer Brett Tassel placed fifth in his division at the 2014 Special Olympics National Summer Games in Vancouver July 8-12. “This was the toughest division, a huge golf course and a lot of pressure,” says local Special Olympics organizer Denise Barker in an e-mail. “Coming fifth in Canada is a huge accomplishment for anyone and I cannot begin to tell you how proud we at 100 Mile Special Olympics are of our star golfer.” The National Games, which saw over 2,000 athletes and coaches, were the first held in British Columbia in more than 20 years.

Canim Lake, Jake's Pub reach men's fastball league finals "This couldn't be more perfect," says Len Goin, standing on third base for Jake's Pub Old Buds with the bags loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the eighth inning in Game 1 of the men's fastball league finals in 100 Mile House on July 21. He was right. Fans witnessed a stultifying pitching duel through seven and the score was tied 1-1 going into the extra inning. Jake's Pub pitcher Greg Parent brought the right stuff and Canim Lake pitcher Kevin Neufeld brought the hard stuff. At the top of eight, Steven Daniels knocked a clutch two-out single for Canim Lake that scored Jerome "Stumpy" Boyce and Mark Boyce. for a 3-1 lead. That could have been it, and some thought it was, but Jake's Pub runners, including Goin, found their way home after that on some timely hitting for the 4-3 victory. Game 2 goes today (July 23) at 6:30 p.m. at Lumberman's Park. If necessary, Game 3 is July 25. In earlier playoff action, second-seed

Jake's Pub defeated firstseed Exeter Sporting Goods 16-5 on July 15 for a spot in the finals. Exeter had a dramatic, bottom of the seventh-inning comeback to defeat fifth-seed Red Rock 12-11 on July 5 to reach the semifinals. Fourth-seed Canim Lake defeated the thirdseed Sanford & Dillman Hornets 13 to 4 on July 16 and met Exeter in the semifinals on July 18 . Canim Lake erased an early deficit on its way to a 13-6 victory in a game that saw impressive hurling from both pitchers – Connor Edle for Exeter and J. Boyce for Canim Lake.

Connor Edle of 100 Mile House won gold with the U18 Fraser Valley Vipers at the Softball BC 2014 Championships July 11-13. Edle and the Vipers are off to the Western Canadian Championships Aug 1-4 in Battleford, Sask.

Local talent at B.C. softball champ Playing shortstop and centrefield for the province's best U18 softball team is Connor Edle of 100 Mile House. The local 16-year-old was picked up by the Fraser Valley Vipers for the Softball BC 2014 Championship in North Surrey July 11-13. After dropping its first game to the Nanaimo Breakers, the Vipers got it together and swept the rest of the tourney, mercy-ruling one team along the way. “We're usually shaky the first game or two,” explains Edle, who also plays in the men's fastball league in 100 Mile House. He says it's a hard

adjustment taking the field with the younger and more competitive Vipers, which draw players from the Fraser Valley area. The Vipers, with Edle in the lineup, are now off to Battleford, Sask. for the Western Canadian Championships on Aug. 1-4. “It took me a game or two [at provincials] to start hitting the ball well,” Edle says. “A lot of the kids that play in a men's league down in Chilliwack say the same thing... The pressure to succeed and perform is there too, especially on our team because we're going to Westerns. The pressure gets to us

sometimes [to be the top team].” Edle was a member of the U16 Vipers, 2013 provincial champions, which went 3-3 at Westerns in Winnipeg last year. He estimates about 70 per cent of that team has returned and says they've added some important pieces at second-base and catcher. “I think the team looks a lot better this year. We have a lot of speed. A couple of the kids run like horses.” Edle was also picked up by Abbotsford Shelcam Construction for a Senior Men's provincial tournament in Kelowna in August.

Hundreds out for scorching Hot July Nights

Classic car aficionados had miles of praise for Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show organizers in 100 Mile House, July 11-13. The culminating Show ‘n Shine event in Centennial Park on July 13 saw about 220 classic and soupedup rides from all over British Columbia on display, and about 200 vehicles, about half of them from the 100 Mile House area, registered in a variety of categories for prizes. The Jack Barnett Memorial Award, which went to best-in-show, was awarded to North Delta resident Keith Biddlecombe, British Columbia Hot Rod Association (BCHRA) president, for his 1932 Ford. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who presented the award named after her late husband, was herself bestowed in a tearful scene with a separate honour acknowledging her husband Jack’s significant contributions to the local muscle car community. “My gosh that was emotional,” says Jim Williscroft, a Hot July Nights organizer and close friend of the MLA. “It was an emotional

Keith Biddlecombe from North Delta won the Jack Barnett Memorial Award when his 1932 Ford Roadster was selected as the best in show at the Hot July Nights Show ‘n Shine on July 13. CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented the award, named after her late husband, to Biddlecombe at the conclusion of the event in Centennial Park.

thing that everyone who probably knew Jack was waiting for, and they showed a sign of respect by not saying a word. That was perfect. “The respect for Donna at that show was immense,” he adds. Although the severe heat kept a number of out-of-town drivers of older model cars away, the number of entrants and visitors were in line with what organizers expected, and Williscroft says the weekend was a successful one. “I’m going to remember all the nice things people had to say. It was an absolutely fantastic weekend.”

In particular, he mentions praise from BCHRA director Tom Whiffin. “[Whiffin] said this is one of the finest shows he has ever seen. The location, how it was put together, he couldn’t say enough good about it.” Williscroft estimates 400 hours of work done by the eight-member Hot July Nights organizing committee since January. He thanks Save-On-Foods for a donation of 1,000 water bottles, which were handed out free to the “parched public” in Centennial Park, where the temperature reached at least 34 C, about 10 C higher than

average. “100 Mile has a good footing, a good show provincially,” Williscroft adds. List of winners by category:

Rare, special plants on display

The public is invited to browse a huge collection of cactus near 100 Mile House on July 26-27. Ewa and Voytek Foik, specialists on the plants that survive in extreme habitats, are hosting the Cactus Show and Sale on their property at 8054-83 Mile from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m both days.

Kamloops lawyer wants to run against Cathy McLeod Bill Sundhu seeks nomination for federal NDP in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu is seeking the federal nomination to stand as candidate of the New Democratic Party of Canada for the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding in the next federal election – Oct. 19, 2015. Sundhu says he has spoken with men, women and youth from various walks of life within the riding and heard their concerns. “Many are worried the sacrifices and choices made by previous generations of Canadians – to build a society based on fairness and equality of opportunity is in peril. “A political cul-

ture and ideology, a government that is which borrows from ruthless, arrogant and the United States out of touch, Sundhu Republican playbook says, adding the real by the [Prime Minister challenges and issues Stephen] Harper that concern most Conservatives, Canadians has brought are ignored or cynicism and trivialized or a coarseness – worse – belitthat diminishes tled.

Man wanted Canadawide ran out of luck Alaska resident Jeremy Dillon Estes, 31, who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for immigration offences, was spotted by 100 Mile House RCMP near the entrance to Centennial Park around 7:20 p.m. on July 15. When members attempted to arrest him, he fled on foot toward the downtown area and then to the airport. Estes managed to jump a number of fences and evade immediate arrest; however, several bystanders assisted police in locating his last point of travel. He attempted to run into a wooded area near First Street, but was arrested by police without further incident. Estes entered Canada illegally in May 2014. In June, Hope RCMP attempted to arrest him, but he successfully evaded arrest. On July 12, Estes fled from a routine roadside vehicle check near Green Lake around 8:30 p.m., says Sgt. Darrell Robinson of the Clinton RCMP. A passenger in the vehicle with Estes was questioned and released without charges. Based on that contact

with Clinton RCMP, it was believed Estes could possibly be in the 100 Mile House area, so local RCMP members

were watching for him. He is also wanted in the United States for violating terms of his probation.

On May 24, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #261-Forest Grove received a very special visitor. In 2004, Gordon Murcheson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #10-Nanaimo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; travelled across Canada, visiting Legion branches along the way as far east as Newfoundland.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch #261-Forest Grove president Jim Tindale, left, and Nanaimo Legion life member Gordon Murcheson posed for a picture, displaying Murchesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vest with the pins he has collected from Legions throughout British Columbia and beyond.

Once back in British Columbia, he set himself up to collect pins from every Legion within the province and Forest Grove was his â&#x20AC;&#x153;last station.â&#x20AC;? Forest Grove Legion president Jim Tindale was only too happy to comply and the final B.C. Legion pin was added to the vest Gordon was wearing with honour. Gordon declared he had often heard the Forest Grove Legion was a friendly place to visit and found exactly that when he arrived. He very much enjoyed his stop-off in Forest Grove and extended his appreciation for the warm welcome he received.

Recent sizzling temperatures draw people to clean, shady Canim Beach CANIM LAKE

Peter Hart 250 397-2645

harts@netbistro.com

Dear Canimites, The lake has been busy through the sizzling temperatures, with Canim Beach hosting families from near and far. Folks are drawn to Canim by the clean pebbly beach, the ample shade near the water, and the no-hassle politeness of local bathers. Trucks ahoy A large haul from the Lorin (Airplane) and Cougar lakes area is underway. Kelly Powell of West Fraser says 20 to 30 loads a day will be coming westwards on the South Canim Road. The company is incurring additional cost by circu-

lating trucks back to the loading site from the mill via Highway 24 and the 8000 Road, keeping industrial traffic on the South Canim Road to one direction. The drivers have been instructed by West Fraser to drive cautiously given the sharp corners and narrow sections of the road. Any complaints should be passed to Kelly at 250-395-8232. Private motorists must exercise extra care as well. According to an old hand at Mahood Lake, the only safe way to drive that road is to approach every corner as if a loaded logging truck were about to appear. The new radio frequency RR#3 at 150.14 is now in effect on the road. Mahood stopped calling Residents in the Mahood Falls 393 telephone exchange lost their service for several hours due to a fire that

damaged a TELUS cable in the vicinity of 143 Mile. Cariboo Regional

District Area H Director Margo Wagner and CRD chair Al Richmond were quick

to act, raising a concern with TELUS. The outage prevented calls in and out of the

exchange. It has again raised the question of the adequacy of the current “land-line-only” system. Should the line be lost due to fire or mishap, emergency 9-1-1 communications are not possible. I understand the CRD is continuing to stress with TELUS the urgency of a service upgrade. Meanwhile, it would probably be a good idea for the community to set up a system with friends “on the outside” to maintain a VHF radio connection in case the land line is lost. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Airport days bring fun for all

Carole Rooney Free Press

A combined 108 Airport Fun Days event will take place at the South Cariboo Regional (108) Airport July 26/27, and the public is welcome. Organizer Bill Hood says the hope is by amalgamating the former annual 108 Airport Day and 100 Mile Model Flyers Fun FlyIn Day event, a good crowd will turn out to enjoy the best of both activities. Model plane enthusiasts operating their scaled-down, radio controlled versions

will perform and play aeronautic games to entertain spectators and have a go at pilot-anddraw prizes, he explains. Providing all goes well by then, Hood says there may be public helicopter rides, but this is pending aircraft availability with the forest fire watch keeping them pretty busy. He adds everyone is welcome to show up at the tarmac for some good family fun and plenty of model aviation action in this airport appreciation event. “Admission is going to be by cash donation with the proceeds going to BC Children’s

CARIBOO CHILCOTIN PARTNERS FOR LITERACY

Hospital this year.” Anyone interested in model flying can seize the chance to test their skill in the skies withfree, hands-on training for the public from noon to 1 p.m. Hood notes the trainer will use a buddy box to ensure folks don’t crash the aircrafts while they try out a fixedwing model plane. The model games begin at 1 p.m. with the ribbon-cutting combat, where the model pilots aim to use their propellers to slash a ribbon to claim a prize. “We get a bunch of little airplanes up there pulling a ribbon around,

so they chase each other trying the cut the ribbon. It is hilarious. And, the planes are specially built for it.” Hood adds this will be followed by the How Low Can You Go Limbo (without crashing) contest, which gets a bit dicey. “When you get close to the ground, bad things can happen.” Another fun game to watch while the model pilots compete is the always-popular egg drop, where an egg nested in a foam cup on the models is bounced out toward a target on the ground. The spot landing con-

test will test the model pilots’ abilities to hit the spot and land on target. More games will take place on Sunday, Hood says, so be sure check out one of these two days of aerial action. “Come on out and enjoy a fun family day of model aviation action and entertainment.” Admission by donation is 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on July 26 and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on July 27. An all-day concession will be available. Dogs will not be allowed entrance to the airport. More information is at 250-791-2575, or at 100-Mile-Model-Flyers on Facebook.

HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK

Ask an Expert:

Can my outdoor equipment start a fire? Whether working to create defensible space around your home, just mowing the lawn, or pulling your dirt bike over to the side of the road, if you live in a wildland area you need to use all equipment responsibly. Lawn mowers, weedeaters, chain saws, grinders, welders, tractors, and trimmers can all spark a wildland fire. Do your part, to keep your community fire safe. Mowing Mow before 10 a.m., but never when it’s windy or excessively dry. Lawn mowers are designed to mow lawns, not weeds or dry grass. Metal blades striking rocks can create sparks and start fires. Use caution. Spark Arresters In wildland areas, spark arresters are required on all

portable gasoline-powered equipment. This includes TWO STOREY tractors, harvesters, chainsaws, weedeaters and TBM2195 mowers. Keep the exhaust system, spark arresters and mower in proper working order and free of carbon buildup. Use the recommended grade of fuel and don’t top it off. Equipment Use If grinding and welding in wildland areas, keep a clearance of 10 feet. Keep a shovel and a fire extinguisher ready to use. Don’t drive your vehicle onto dry grass or brush. Hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires that you won’t even see - until it’s too late! Keep a cell phone nearby and call 911 immediately in case of fire.

The engine is its strongpoint but it’s not just a one-trick pony. I like the interior a lot. The steering wheel is soft to the touch and I like that you can control various functions like the audio, Bluetooth, or cruise control from it. The centre stack has charm, too. Atop sits a colour display, followed by Ford’s infotainment system, followed by the climate controls. It’s hard to get lost in its setup, and the buttons are clearly marked with large writing.

However, it’s available on both the sedan and hatchback models. Overall, the Ford Fiesta 1.0L has its benefits. A snappy engine, a great look and a comfortable ride quality. Whether you just drive it around the city or beyond, the Fiesta one-litre is a sturdy road companion with impressive fuel economy. Visit www.ford.ca for more information.
