Horse Lake OCP slated for change Waterfront lots potentially open for subdivision Carole Rooney Free Press
Cariboo Regional District directors are moving forward with a proposed text amendment to the South Cariboo Official Community Plan (OCP) affecting Horse Lake waterfront lot density. Against the advice of their planning department and the area director, the majority of directors voted to potentially change a bylaw to allow re-designation of waterfront lands within 200 metres of Horse Lake to permit the creation of new lots.
CRD Area L Director Bruce ther subdivided under its current Rattray, who voted against zoning. the change, says it has to do with While individual lots can range the way Horse Lake waterfrom two acres to 10 front zoning was set up in acres, the OCP is “pretty the past. definitive and leaves no lati“It actually came out of tude” on average sizes, he an application to subdivide explains. a five-acre waterfront prop“The intention was to erty.

Sustainable plantings crop up Visitor centre home to new edibles, ornamental planters
Carole Rooney Free Press
F
olks stopping by the South Cariboo Visitor Centre (SCVC) or walking along the 100 Mile Marsh trail may notice some new planters have been installed with both edible and ornamental plants. The South Cariboo Sustainability Committee’s Rebel Garden Zone (RGZ) project partnered with the District of 100 Mile House to bring heirloom seed and plant expert Jackie Pappas from Clinton to prepare the planters and guide the project. Heirloom strawberries and pansies were among the plants Pappas gently packed into in the fresh soil, before applying a sprinkling of organic fertilizer. RGZ representative Nicole Chayka says the purpose of the plantings is to demonstrate how easy it can be to grow food at home or in shared community gardens. “We are trying to encourage people to think about growing food organically, from heirlooms, to save and trade their seeds with one another in the seed exchange program that we have got up and running.” This is the first project for which the RGZ has worked collaboratively the District, she notes. “If this is successful and people enjoy it, hopefully we’ll be popping up all over town.” The RGZ also advocates for gardeners to avoid genetically modified (GMO) seeds as another element in the aware-
ness project, she adds. “It’s drug-free – for something healthful for our children. “Last year, we handed out almost 1,000 packets of seeds to school children. I went up to Lac la Hache Elementary School with seeds, and donated money to its own garden project. And I’ve contacted the [Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School], and had inroads with the teachers there in the gardening program.” The SCVC site was chosen to launch the program due to the high visibility it gets, she explains. “This is not just a food garden; this is a mixture of both. Some people don’t mix it up, and, of course, it’s beneficial to do companion planting.” A sign will be installed to let people know they are welcome to pick some berries or any other edibles that may crop up in the planters. “They are free to weed, water and help themselves.” The Rebel Garden Zone began its local seed exchange program at the Seedy Saturday event this spring, where RGZ signs were handed out for folks to place in gardens to demonstrate their belief in these same principles, she notes. “We really love to see our people think in terms of being sustainable and creating their own food stores.” Chayka explains the seed exchange continues to run through a booth at the South Cariboo Farmers’ Market each Friday morning at Birch Avenue and Third Street in 100 Mile House.
Rattray says his stance on the issue boils down to the potentially large OCP amendment involved. “In fact, you could get up to 190 new lots, about half of which would be waterfront ... as a result of the amendment. So, that’s the potential, and that’s fairly significant.” The Area L director says he agrees with planning staff comments that such a siz-
able change should not be done outside of the context of the major OCP review scheduled to take place over the next couple of years. The applicant’s agent made a pitch at the meeting indicating a substantial number of these lots would probably never be developed, and it was unfair to hold up this application until the OCP was completed, Rattray says. “That [delay] is regrettable, but the larger issue to me is the text amendments

need to be fully considered, and you need to look at potential impact on the lake more thoroughly than you can do it right now for this one-off.” He notes the change is nevertheless moving forward to accommodate this single applicant. “It is kind of using a sledgehammer to bang in a little finishing nail, but unfortunately, that’s the only avenue that was available to them, so they continued to
[argue] that this is not as big a deal – and to some extent they are right.” The 20-year-old plan for density controls on the lake development doesn’t consider the technology now available for managing solid waste and riparian areas, which are sure to get a lot of consideration when the OCP review happens, he explains. “So at the end of the day, we could end up with something similar. [But] this is
not a two-, three- or four-lot subdivision, this is a broad text amendment that affects substantially more lots. So, I don’t really buy that argument.” The bylaw change received first and second reading, and will go to a public hearing at some point prior to third reading and adoption. More information is at www.cariboord.bc.ca in the July 11 regular agenda (in item 5.3, and related attachments).
The province has filed a motion with the National Energy Board (NEB) requesting that Kinder Morgan provide more detailed information about the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion project. Kinder Morgan’s responses to the more than 70 information requests submitted in NEB’s project review, dealing with maritime and land-based spill response, prevention and recovery systems, provide insufficient information to satisfy the province they are world-leading systems. The motion can be found at http:// docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ fetch.asp?language= E&ID=A61531.

Proposed aquatic centre survey planned
CRD tests the waters for spring pool referendum Carole Rooney Free Press
The South Cariboo Aquatic Society (SCAS) is gearing up for a telephone survey to be conducted by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) in September to gauge the community’s temperature for holding a referendum next spring. This survey will target about 400 randomly-
selected taxpayers in communities within the South Cariboo Recreation (SCR) function boundaries to gather input on a proposed aquatic centre and associated property taxation increases, for the potential referendum questions to be based on. However, some residents in 108 Mile Ranch are raising eyebrows, and concerns, after seeing a SCAS brochure circulating that references $135 per $100,000 in assessed value, potentially raising property taxes on higher-valued homes by $500 or more. SCAS Amanda Bird says the brochure is part of its awareness cam-
paign to help ensure the public is on board with the idea, and that those affected are ready to answer the survey questions if they are called.
phlets now, so folks should ensure they have the facts before making any judgements, he adds. “So far, this has all been at the working group level. We need to take it back to the South Cariboo Joint Committee, and make sure that they are comfortable with what we’ve developed.” Rattray notes the CRD now has updated numbers reflecting the current rough costs to build the preferred design with “all the bells and whistles.” “The $135 figure is what we are going to work with for now, because that’s our best estimate on what it would cost to construct and operate the facility
that we went through the exercise, a few years ago, in defining.” This added about $2.3 million to the original
“We want people to finally have their say in if they want to see an aquatic centre, if they are willing to see their taxes increase [as indicated], and if not, if they are willing to look at a
lesser design in a pool.” The full-blown “preferred” design includes a 25-metre lap pool; a leisure pool with wading areas, sprays and a lazy river; a large hot pool; and an adjacent fitness space. Bird adds the updated cost estimate of $15.1 million is based on the worst-case scenario of having no grants to support the project. CRD Area L Director Bruce Rattray says gathering public input is still at an early stage, and the board intends to get information out to people prior to the survey and encourage them to participate, if called. The CRD was not aware SCAS was going to be distributing pam-
In a news release, he notes Statistics Canada’s most recent report revealed that 9,400 net jobs were lost in June alone, and unemployment continues to rise. “When it comes to job creation, the Conservatives have completely lost their way. Our job market has reached a new low since the 2010 economic recovery.” Cullen says the latest numbers show that 21,000 private-sector jobs were lost in June, along with 11,900 public-sector positions. “It is long past time these Conservatives changed direction.” K a m l o o p s T h omp s on - C ar i b o o MP Cathy McLeod says government is always watchful of these
reports. However, basing criticism on the jobs outlook by singling out one month’s report is “disingenuous,” she adds. “[The NDP] didn’t do a news release when it was 54,000 new jobs in a month recently prior. “I think the important thing is that since the depth of the recession there have been over a million new jobs created – 75 per cent in the private sector and 90
per cent full time.” McLeod explains what should be done is looking at the general trend and not just one month with shows job statistics that are particularly bad or particularly good. “Certainly we have a trend that is good, in terms of Canada and in terms of comparisons with other countries.” She says with the overall positive jobs trend, people in Canada
“truly are the envy” of many G7 Countries. “But, obviously we continue to have to be watchful and we continue to have to have policies that are going to support job creation, especially in the private sectors. “The NDP is antitrade; anti-pipeline; anti-natural resource sector. Their policies would be very devastating for job growth in the country.”

Minister pledges Internet service
Carole Rooney Free Press
Te c h n o l o g y, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson visited 100 Mile House on July 15. At Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s constituency office, Wilkinson talked about Internet and cellular/mobile device connectivity improvements – past and future. Wilkinson said the latest change that provided another avenue for remote businesses and residents is a new subsidy to cover 50 per cent (up to $250) for Xplornet satellite installations. “There are a lot of areas in this province that are very hard to service because they are just too far from an available cable.” He said these remote areas are not always in the far North or in
extreme wilderness, but are quite close to municipalities, such as 100 Mile House. Sometimes these houses are even within sight of homes with cable service, and they still qualify for the subsidy. This does not mean the province won’t endeavour to expand the cable lines out to rural customers, Wilkinson explained. “We are trying to make sure that there is as much broadband in the province as possible. Our goal is to have everybody [covered] by 2021. We’ve got somewhere between 93 to 94 per cent of the population on broadband right now.” He added his ministry is working with satellite providers for connectivity beyond the 98 per cent of locations where cable-carried service is feasible. Local communities – especially in
the Cariboo – also along Highway 97. provide his ministry “Our goal is to conwith regular requests tinue to push [TELUS] for improved cellu- on that last few hundred lar service, Wilkinson kilometres of entitlenoted. ment we have to get “We have this large proper cellular service contractual arrange- in.” ment with After meetTELUS where ing with we pay them Interlakes a lot of money Economic for our data and Association networks for all (IEA) presithe provincial dent Dianne services like Lawson, he Andrew health care and said more can education.

Rattray explains the survey will ask things like “would you support $135 per $100,000 in assessed value, with the currently defined preferred option?”, but also include “if you don’t support it, why not?” to help determine what their issues are. “We expect to get a variety of reasons why people would not sup-
port it. “If they do support it, we are interested in knowing ‘how much do you think you would use it’?” Rattray adds if money is a significant factor for some, the CRD will want to know if they would be willing to support a simpler facility at a lesser cost. “This survey is really to try and gauge the level of support [and to] get a better feel for what
people want. “The most important thing to note is, this isn’t the referendum. Eventually we’ll have to deal with this at a referendum, in which case everybody (in that SCR taxation base) get involved.”

Lawson said she emphasized the importance of hard-wire connections to attract new residents and businesses to her area. “Our community profile data results will be key in making the business case, and the minister left us with the impression that this shouldn’t be difficult – to have fibre optics in our area soon – based on our initial discussion.” Wilkinson said Internet access brings big benefits in transmitting health data and providing remote education learning capacity. “With young people, they are not going to hang around a community that hasn’t got broadband.... “Our goal is to keep people feeling like they are totally connected to their communities and their society.”

Tsilhqot’in release mining policy, emphasize respect
Gaven Crites Free Press
Ground rules for companies wanting to mine on Tsilhqot’in territory have been laid out in a draft mining policy released on July 31 by the First Nation, a collection of six aboriginal bands of some 3,000 members located in the British Columbia Interior. The 19-page document emphasizes the First Nation’s commitment to culturally and ecologically conscious development of mineral resources, while respecting the long-term social
and economic benefits of Tŝilhqot’in communities and reinforcing Tsilhqot’in laws. Release of the draft mining policy, accompanied by a call for feedback from government, industry and the public in the coming months before it’s finalized, follows a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in June granting the Tsilhqot’in Nation aboriginal title of approximately 1,700 square kilometres of land in the CaribooChilcotin. The Tsilhqot’in have also been in a long running fight with
Taseko Mines Ltd. over the proposed $1.5 billion New Prosperity gold and copper mine, a contentious project twice rejected by the federal government on environmental grounds because it would do irreparable damage to Fish Lake. Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government, mentions Fish Lake, or “Teztan Biny,” in a news release. “While this policy opens our doors to more respectful relationships with industry, we also expect respect from industry for
our sacred places like Teztan Biny. The mining industry and the provincial government should have recognized long ago the proposed Prosperity mine was a highly sensitive cultural and environmental area." The mining policy clarifies the Tsilhqot’in position when it comes to resource development, Alphonse says in an interview. As for Taseko, Alphonse says, “it would almost be impossible for them” to move forward with any projects in partnership with the Tsilhqot’in .
“They would have to make very significant changes in their approach and attitude before anything from Taseko would be considered seriously. But, the focus is on other companies [with a different attitude] coming in.” There are dozens of mineral exploration projects in Tsilhqot’in territory, Alphonse says. “Our views on Taseko might not change, but what’s lost in that is the
perception we’re antiindustry. There are mining companies that are very honourable
that we would love to work with and explore different opportunities within our territory.”

This agreement has the potential to offer significant benefits to our country, but there is also a lot at stake. Everything from our food security and Internet freedom to health-care delivery could be impacted. It is very clear that the Canadian Government must negotiate carefully. The NDP believes there are three major themes that ought to guide Canada: increasing transparency of TPP negotiations, defending and promoting Canada’s interests, and supporting strong human rights, labour and environmental standards. As with any international agreement affecting Canadians’ lives, Canada must strive for transparency, openness and accountability. Such important pacts should not be negotiated in secret.

GUEST SHOT
n July 10, Premier Christy Clark announced the B.C. Liberal government, in partnership with BC Hydro and FortisBC, is expanding its energy-efficiency programs to help British Columbians – especially folks with qualifying low family incomes – reduce their hydro and gas bills. At first, this sounds like pretty good news for lowincome families. This “good news” announcement came four months after Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett told British Columbians the B.C. Liberals were going to increase hydro rates by 28 per cent over the next five years, and there may be further increases after that. Here is how the province is going to help qualifying low-income families – starting at $30,800 for a one-person household and increasing incrementally to $81,000 for a household with seven or more members. There are two free programs. One offers a free kit, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, fridge and freezer thermometers and a high-efficiency shower head. The other offers a free home energy evaluation to see if the household qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator and extra insulation. There is also the new Home Energy Rebate Offer, which is not income tested, that offers up to $6,000 in rebates for energy-efficiency upgrades for water reduction, heating and hot water systems and insulation. This is great for folks who can afford to make the purchases of the heat pumps and water heaters, but out of reach for those who are barely making ends meet. The problem for low-income families is they are paying the same hydro rate as the families with household incomes of $100,000 and up, and they’re being forced into making decisions on whether to keep the heat on or feed and clothe their families. During the spring sitting of the legislature, the BC NDP proposed a Hydro Affordability Act, which would give the B.C. Utilities Commission authority to tell BC Hydro to give a discounted “lifeline rate” to provide affordable energy for eligible low-income British Columbians. However, the B.C. Liberals rejected it. The government also cancelled LiveSmart B.C. and provincial sales tax for Energy Start appliances, which helped British Columbians deal with rising energy costs. So, a closer look at this “good news” program shows the B.C. Liberals are not really helping the people who are most vulnerable – the people who are being forced into difficult family decisions because of the rising hydro rates, which allow the province to siphon more money into the general government coffers.

development is addressed. It is of concern that a number of countries involved in the TPP negotiations lack democracy and basic freedoms, including expression, press, religion, assembly and association. Child labour, forced labour, detention of political dissidents and draconian laws targeting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community (including stoning to death) are among some of the human rights violations that have been identified. All of these violate core Canadian values and must be addressed. As the Official Opposition, we believe the TPP has the potential to bring benefits to Canada. This can only happen if the negotiations are conducted with transparency and accountability, and the final agreement protects Canada’s interests and champions Canadian values. Vancouver-Kingsway MP Don Davies is NDP critic for International Trade.

A botched process from start to finish To the editor: Somehow Stephen Harper managed to take an ordinary responsibility of the Prime Minister – filling a vacancy on the Supreme Courtand turning it into a major debacle, deeply unbecoming of his office. Last fall, Mr. Harper appointed Justice Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court of Canada, in an apparent violation of the requirements for justices from Quebec. He was immediately challenged and Mr.
Nadon was ultimately ruled ineligible this spring. The affair left the court short a justice familiar with Quebec’s unique civil code for nine months. Instead of seeking out the best candidate, Mr. Harper seems to have gone out of his way to find one who was more ideologically acceptable. Quebec’s top judges and lawyers were largely bypassed, with four of six candidates on the short list reportedly coming from the
Federal Court, despite the fact that no Federal Court judge had ever been chosen for one of the Supreme Court’s three Quebec seats. Along the way, the government ignored countless warnings that these judges were ineligible. One of those warnings came from the Chief Justice herself. Months later, the Prime Minister smeared her, saying her advice was “inappropriate and inadvisable.” He picked an unprecedented public
Science just emerging on smart meters To the editor: BC Hydro smart meter opponents have frequently pointed out that the radio frequencies (RF) emitted by smart meters are classified as a 2B possible carcinogen by the World Health Organization, putting them in the same category as lead and DDT.
BC Hydro’s rebuttal is dill pickles and coffee fall under the same classification, thereby implying that the microwaves emitted by their meters pose no greater danger than consuming coffee or dill pickles. By that logic, I challenge any senior manager of BC Hydro to join me at a publicly viewed seating where
To the editor: We are being told that exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) from British Columbia will clean the air and wipe out our debt (according to Premier Christy Clark’s speech to the Pacific Northwest Economic Region gathering on July 21). Are they kidding? I suppose LNG will cure acne and clean your socks. It smells like Grade A Snake Oil to me! How dumb do they think we are?
I will gladly drink a cup of coffee and eat a half dozen dill pickles if he or she is willing to consume one cup of DDT washed down by a half glass of tetraethyl lead. Clearly one cannot compare the destructive nature of chemicals and RF based solely upon the individual carcinogenicity. Emerging science in the early days of lead and DDT pointed toward serious issues concerning those materials, just as the emerging science of today is indicating serious cause for concern around smart meter radio frequency. The exposure to these RF must be a matter of personal choice until the matter is clearly settled.

fight with our highest court, casting aspersions on its credibility to impartially. In fact, it was entirely appropriate for the Chief Justice to warn the government that its short-listed choices may not be eligible. Reportedly, the government went as far as to suggest to Justice Nadon resign as a judge and join the Barreau du Quebec purely to get around the rules. Fortunately, he thought better of it.
Sadly, this is just the latest rebuke of the Conservatives’ reckless justice agenda. The courts have already struck down many of their policies, including the closure of Vancouver’s safe injection site, harsh mandatory minimums and violations of the rights of child soldiers. Canadians deserve better. Sean Casey, MP Liberal Party of Canada Justice Critic
Ferry fares had to increase
To the editor: The reason for increase in ferry fares is because the wages for both management and union employees has gotten out of hand. There are over 900 B.C. Ferries employees, a combination of both management and u nion employees, making over $75,000 per year with a 100 per cent fully funded employee benefit plan paid for by the taxpayers. A gift shop cashier is paid $24.49 per hour; a boarding attendant at vehicle ticket booth is paid $24.85 per hour; a coffee shop attendant is paid $23.35 per hour; and a third cook is paid $27.51 per hour. On top of this, the union employees received a wage increase on April 1, 2014 and on April 1, 2015, as per their
union contract. The rates of pay are outrageous, as a green chain worker in the saw mill earns $25.93 per hour, and a choker man in logging makes $26.94 per hour under the United Steelworkers contract. A listing of the 900 employees was available on the website for a short while
for taxpayer reference, but has since been removed due to the BC Ferries workers union, taking the issue to court to have the report removed from the website to hide the fact that wage rates are out of control. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

he B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it. Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified. Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a postmortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties. One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next. (Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.)
introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an illthought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

the province Motorcyclist hospitalized after swerving to avoid cow WILLIAMS LAKE - A 47-year-old worker from Gibraltar Mines is in hospital with serious injuries after swerving on his motorcycle to avoid colliding with a cow on the road while coming home from work Monday evening. “He had broken ribs and possible internal injuries,” RCMP Sgt. Rick LeBeuf said. Around 7:25 p.m. two employees were travelling down the road from the mine on motorcycles when one of them swerved to avoid a cow and went off the road. The mine’s rescue team arrived on scene, treated the injured rider, and prepared him for transport to Williams Lake. En route he was transferred to BC Ambulance. “He was treated at Cariboo Memorial Hospital and then transferred to Vancouver,” said Brian Battison, Taseko Mines vice-president of corporate affairs. Booze sponsors drop Boonstock Penticton - Failing to obtain a liquor licence has cost Boonstock a handful of major sponsors. A spokesman for Big Surf Beer confirmed the company would be “unable to execute” its sponsorship of the three-day music festival in Penticton, after the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch refused to sanction the event due to safety concerns. Elliot McKerr wouldn’t discuss specifics of the Kelowna-based brewery’s ill-fated arrangement with Boonstock, but said such sponsorships typically see companies pay the event promoter to be an exclusive supplier. “We would have activated our brand on site through branding the beer gardens and having some cool activation items for customers there,” he said. “Unfortunately, Big Surf is unable to execute our sponsorship due to the fact that there’s no liquor licence available,” McKerr said. Other alcoholic beverage companies listed on Boonstock’s website as sponsors, like Bacardi Canada, Jameson Irish Whisky and Corby Spirit and Wine Limited, also confirmed they’ve backed out.

Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a home-made ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection. Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are, however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use.

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 81 complaints and calls for service during the from July 23 to July 30. Domestic assault On July 26, members of the RCMP received the report of a Kamloops couple visiting the 100 Mile House area that were involved in a domestic altercation. A woman who attended the 100 Mile RCMP Detachment reported that she had been assaulted by her husband while inside of their vehicle. 100 Mile House RCMP obtained a statement from the woman. Assistance was later provided by Kamloops RCMP in locating the man, who was subsequently arrested and released on “no contact” conditions on a Promise to Appear in Court. Charges of Assault contrary to Section 266 of the Criminal Code will be recommended. Loss of control On July 25, 2014, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a 9-1-1 call on Spout Lake Road, near Lac la Hache, involving a single vehicle collision. Upon arrival at the scene, investigation revealed that the vehicle had been travelling too fast around a corner on the gravel road.
Due to the surface being hard packed with loose gravel on the top, the driver lost control, sliding into the ditch on the opposite side of the road. The vehicle struck a rock, overturned and bounced back onto the road landing on its roof. The 27-year-old female driver was wearing her seatbelt and received only minor injuries. After the collision occurred, several of the driver’s friends attended the scene and assisted the lady in finding her dog, which had run off into the surrounding woods. Shortly thereafter, the dog was located uninjured and happy to see it’s owner.
states as follows: “Every person commits an offence who, without lawful excuse, uses, carries, handles, ships, transports or stores a firearm, a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device or any ammunition or prohibited ammunition in a careless manner or without reasonable precautions for the safety of other persons.” Please use firearms responsibly. Safety violations involving firearms will be strictly enforced by the RCMP and may result in criminal charges, the seizing of firearms, and prohibition of their use by offending parties.
Shots fired Over the week, RCMP responded to several shots fired complaints. Due to the rural nature of the area, with hunting season around the corner, target practicing is common place. As long as a person is properly licenced, it is not an offence to discharge a firearm. However, when shooting, gun owners are asked to ensure that when discharging their firearms they are more than 100 meters away from any residence or structure and that the guns are fired responsibly in a safe direction, keeping the safety of the neighbourhood residents in mind. Careless use of a firearm is an offence under Section 86 (1) of the Criminal Code which
Busy highways With the summer months in full swing, the past week was extremely busy on the area highways. Over the past week, 100 Mile RCMP received 15 calls for service dealing with a variety of complaints.
Several incidents reported involved deer. It is the time of the year again when the bush is drying out and more deer are beginning to congregate near the roadway ditches, embankments and fields to feed. Please be aware of this, drive defensively and slow down, particularly in the early mornings and at dusk when the animals are moving. The RCMP would like to remind the public that the speed limit for rural recreational and industrial roads is 80 km/h unless otherwise posted. If you are using these roads, please slow down and drive according to the conditions. The public is also reminded to watch out for oncoming traffic, range cattle and wildlife, particularly at the corners. Bike Rodeo On July 28 between 1 and 3 p.m., 100 Mile House Auxiliary RCMP

Volunteers appreciated
Parkside Art Gallery held an appreciation tea and luncheon for its volunteers on July 19. The event saw a few dozen visitors drop in throughout the day and chat and enjoy refreshments under a white tent erected beside the newly manicured garden area at the local gallery on Cedar Avenue in 100 Mile House. Organizers weren’t sure how many guests to expect, explains Laurie Embree, a Parkside Art Gallery board member and member of the 100 Mile & District Garden Club. “We goofed up in some ways,” she laughs. “We ordered way too much food.”
Embree went on to thank local businesses, volunteers, the District of 100 Mile House and the 100 Mile House Lions’ Club for their support. “Parkside is 100 per cent volunteer run. Which also involves the community a lot through donations, and people come and do work there.” Everything that happens there is truly a community endeavour, she adds. “Once you start doing

Crystal Lake fishing derby fundraiser
Carole Rooney Free Press
A fun event for families and fishing enthusiasts is once again offering a chance to also help sick children. The Fifth Annual Fishing for a Cure fishing derby fundraiser is happening at Crystal Lake on Aug. 16/17, complete with buffet dinner on the Saturday included in the entry fee. The cost is $15 for adults and $10 for children aged 12 and under, with proceeds going to the families of two local children suffering from neurofibromatosis (NF), a debilitating disease. Organizer Traci Parks of Lone Butte says the derby kicks off bright and early on Aug. 16 and weigh in takes place at 1 p.m. Aug. 17. There are categories for both adults and children, and prizes are won not only by the fishers, but also for those children who turn out just for the fun and games, she explains. Traci adds there are always some folks who return the following year after having such a positive experience at this event. “They really enjoyed it and they really enjoyed the buffet dinner. Some say you don’t need to fish – the food is so great it’s worth it to come just for that.” She notes cotton candy is being provided by United Concrete and Tim Hortons is donating free coffee all day, while Sunday will see a leftovers lunch offered by donation. Traci has a daughter, Rheanne, who is affected by NF and says they
must travel frequently to Kamloops and Vancouver, and sometimes Portland, Oregon for treatment. Along with the travel expenses, there are a number of costly medications Rheanne needs to deal with the disease and the resulting pain, she adds. Traci says Jacob Williams of 100 Mile House also lives with NF, and his family has similar issues trying to stretch their finances to deal with these expenses. They use the Shriner’s transportation when it

lines up with medical appointments, but this doesn’t always work for them, she notes. The Shriner’s bus to Vancouver, for instance, leaves 100 Mile House on Sundays and returns on Wednesdays, requiring a three-day stay over in the city for both the accompanying parent and the sick child, she explains. Traci notes the fishing derby and fun family event is a great way to spend an enjoyable weekend while supporting a worthy cause.

Ride for Spine spins through South Cariboo
Carole Rooney Free Press
A North Vancouver resident who is cycling on a 1,730-kilometre Ride for Spine to raise money for Spinal Cord Injury BC (SCIBC) passed through 100 Mile House recently. David Parke, 47, left Dease Lake on his mountain bike to hit the highways on a cross-province journey to Vancouver on June 7. He is accompanied by his companion, Dave Schaefer, who is driving
a small motorhome. Parke, a father of two, film technician, student and recreation lover, says he had a debilitating accident on June 13, 2010. “While mountain biking on [Vancouver’s] North Shore, I crashed and was paralyzed from the neck down immediately. I have since managed, through many professionals, amazing organizations and people to rehabilitate and walk again.” He explains their destination is
Vancouver’s GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, the place where he learned how to stand and to walk again. Parke notes that after spinal rehabilitation, SCIBC offers people peer/mentor support, accommodation, accessible employment and the tools and equipment they might need to adapt in their new life. “Because, that’s basically what a lot of people are [facing], whether it’s spinal meningitis or people who have broken their back, and
from logging incidents to traffic accidents to people, like me, who are ‘recreationalists’ and injure themselves....” While Parke says he has a big network of support in his family, but struggled with his paralysis, rehabilitation, nay-sayers about his recovery chances, and the loss of his job in the film industry. “It has put a lot of
stress on my family ... we’ve lost a town home, we’ve lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in [wage losses].” Noting he still suffers from physical deficits in his hands and feet, Parke explains he is now struggling on his journey with frequent neuropathic (nerve) pain, stiffness and fatigue. However, the cyclist
says he recognizes how much worse it is for many people out there with spinal cord injuries. “I wanted to give back to something, and having seen people who have no support ... who have no family.” When Parke passed through town in late June, he was almost halfway to his goal of raising $8,950 for
SCIBC. Parke encourages folks to get on board and support the cause online, either through i nd i e go go. c om / proj ects/ride-for-spine-2-1; or directly to Spinal Cord Injury BC at www. sci-bc.com. “It can happen in a flash, and it will change your life so profoundly that you are really not prepared for it.”

Briand blowing by the rest Father, son team up on northwest mud racing circuit
Gaven Crites Free Press
It's a big show and one local teen is a big part of it. Austin Briand is hands down the fastest young driver behind the wheel in the North West Mud Racing Association (NWRMA). And, shredding a 200-foot mud track in three seconds or less, he might be the fastest 16-year-old in the country. If he's not, he's definitely close, says NWMRA president Gavin McDonald, adding results from other clubs are hard to compare in this case because the ages of drivers are never released. “He's under three seconds for 200-feet, at 16-years-old. I'm 50. That's what I do – 2.7, 2.8, 2.9. As far as I know, I don't believe there is anybody else that is 16-years-old and running a blown alcohol mud race car [in those times].” Last season, Austin was the A Class's number one overall points winner through six races in Merritt, Quesnel, Valemount, Chilliwack, 100 Mile House and Kamloops. This season, in his Austin truck, “Down & Dirty,” he's leadBriand ing the D Class through three races, with most recent results from the Scotty's Mud Drags event near 100 Mile House on July 19. Austin's dad, Lee, also races in the circuit. Lee drives a rear-engine dragster called “Mud Fever II,” which Austin sometimes drives for his fastest runs. Lee is a longtime mud racer and Austin has grown up around the sport. It's a big advantage he has on other drivers around the same age, McDonald says. “Most of them are just jumping into modified

Austin Briand, 16, drives in the North West Mud Racing Association. He was one of dozens of drivers ripping through the track at the 11th Annual Scotty's Mud Drags near 105 Mile on July 19-20. In his dad Lee's rear-engine dragster, Mud Fever II, Briand goes 200 feet in 2.71 seconds.
trucks and they're doing passes [in six or seven seconds]. But, Austin has been driving since he's been, like, seven-years-old. Austin knows how to handle a car.” Austin's fastest passes are 3.01 seconds in his truck, and 2.71 in Mud Fever II. McDonald jokes about Austin being a better driver than his dad. McDonald also admits that, to his displeasure, Austin has gone out after him and beat some of his fastest times, too. The NWMRA circuit sees only a few father and son teams, and the Briands are currently the only duo that race different vehicles.
It's a very time-consuming hobby with a lot of maintenance work and a good deal of travelling, and it couldn't be done without the help of sponsors, Lee explains. But the pair have a lot of fun together. “It's something we enjoy doing,” Lee says. “It's a lot of bonding.” The Briands were set to race in Valemount on Aug. 2-3. As he has been doing all summer long for some of the younger mud racing fans at these events, Austin was probably signing autographs. Like a rockstar, Lee jokes. “Being 16 and going so fast, I think he's a big part of the show now.”
Golfer goes 'over and above' Brett Tassel went out and played and didn't quit. Now he has a great story to tell about his awesome experience at the 2014 Special Olympics National Summer Games, which took place in Vancouver July 8-12. The local golfer injured his shoulder twisting too fast on a swing during an early round, but for the rest of the way he played through the pain. That, and the experience he gained at the National Games as one of hundreds of athletes from across Canada taking part, are some of the main things that
matter most, he says. Tassel, 27, placed fifth overall in a tough division on the challenging University Golf Course. The Games were the first national Special Olympics contest held in British Columbia in more than 20 years. B.C. athletes won seven medals in golf, including, in the same division as Tassel, Kelowna's gold medal winner Kyle Grummett. Through three ninehole rounds, Grummett finished with 124 strokes; Kyle Koopman of Ontario, in second place, finished with 130; Manitoba's Danny Peaslee scored 133; B.C's

Well, I was. We're so proud of him for getting this far and doing what he did.” Next up, Tassel has his sights set on qualifying for the Special Olympics World Summer Games before they take place in Los Angeles in July 2015. From the recent competition in Vancouver, he says he's going to
remember most hanging out with the other athletes and the support he received from family and friends. “I was a little nervous when I was going down to the Games," he says. "But coming back with fifth place really shocked me in a good way.” Another memory from Vancouver is meeting with BC Lions' quarterback Travis Lulay and getting his autograph. Tassel stands 6 feet 9. He's a big guy, and Lulay joked about him maybe playing football for the Lions. Tassel replied he's going to stick with golf.

Riding with the best

Gaven Crites Free Press
The most memorable thing about Lexington, Kentucky for Katya Levermann was representing Canada and galloping across the finish line in fourth spot, following a 120-kilometre endurance race along the rolling hills of bluegrass country. The local rider was pleased with both her own and her horse's performance at the Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships, a premier international equestrian event for young riders, July 15-20. She rode a 14-yearold grey Arabian gelding named TEF Sunflash, or “Flash,” owned by Pennsylvania breeder Tracy Reynolds. “I couldn't have asked for a better horse,” says Levermann. “Tracy did an incredible job preparing him for this event. We were a team all the way through the race and I rode him to the best of my ability. We had a great time blasting across the finish line and only later did we find out the third place horse was only 52 seconds in front of us.” Endurance riding

is based on controlled long-distance races with periodic veterinary checks for the animal. Levermann was fourth of 11 riders that registered times in Kentucky, while three riders were pulled from the race. Levermann finished the race in 6 hours 45 minutes 20 seconds. The winning time was 6 hours 14 minutes 23 seconds. Nine riders finished within the six hour window, while the last two finished past the nine and 10 hour marks. The riders completed a number of 15 to 25-km loops around the Horse Park grounds and after every loop the horses were looked over by a veterinarian.
“The horse’s heart rate has to be lower than 64 beats per minute and the vet determines if your horse is fit to continue,” Levermann explains. “Flash didn't have any trouble at the vet checks, nor did he have any difficulties with pulsing down. He is a wonderful horse with a strong heart and a lot of willpower.” Levermann says the most important thing in endurance racing is
reading your horse well. “I need to be able to feel when something is wrong. Endurance is a team sport between you and your horse and it can only be done if the rider and the horse are in-sync.” As one would expect, there's a lot of work and physical training involved, for both the horse and rider, especially if one is aiming for a championship of this calibre.

“I ride my own horses several times a week to condition them. And as my horse gets fit from me riding him, I get fit by riding my horse. We are usually competing on our own horses here in B.C. and in the western United States. [We do] a lot of mountain riding. When the trail gets too steep we often dismount and run beside our horses.” The Levermann family have a ranch near 100 Mile House. Levermann's next big goal is to compete in the 2015 Pan American Games in Ontario. Levermann's younger sister, Anya, is also a competitive rider. “We are a team with our horses and we have helped each other through many difficult times on the trail,” Levermann says. “It takes a team of people working together to get someone to the international level of riding.”

TRAINING LIKE A PRO
$1 million dollar prize goes unclaimed
A 10-day, $1 million hole-in-one contest ended on hole No. 10 at the 108 Golf Resort on July 20. The Psalm 23 Society fundraiser didn’t make anyone a millionaire, but the top 10 finalists did take home a share of prizes worth $7,500. The event, sponsored by Sunrise Ford in 100 Mile House, raised $8,475 for the Psalm 23 Transition Society’s Village Of Hope, a 59 Mile area rehabilitation facility for men who may be homeless or battling addictions. The first place prize package included a seven night stay at a Disney Resort, sponsored by Christine and Tom Gallagher, a golf bag, a Milan Lucic Winter Classic jersey, and two rounds of golf at the Sandpiper Golf Course in Harrison Mills with a night’s stay at the Best Western in Abbotsford. Gabe Pukacz won first prize, coming closest to the pin and landing his ball 36 feet

The first nine days of the contest took place at the driving range where a target pin was placed at 100 yards. The top seven closest to the pin each day, and three randomly drawn shooters, qualified for the July 20 quarterfinal.

How do I repair spalling on my sidewalk?
tBM3365
Homeowners do not think much about sidewalks until they become damaged and an eyesore. Sidewalks often handle heavy traffic, but many people do not protect them as they should. As a result, sidewalks often begin to crumble along the edges and can form cracks or pits upon the surface. Even if the rest of your home is in perfect condition, a poorly kept sidewalk can make it appear old beyond its years. Patch your sidewalk quickly and inexpensively yourself to keep your home looking well-maintained. Things You’ll Need: Protective clothing, sledgehammer, Chisel Instructions 1. Cover any exposed skin to prevent it from being burned by wet concrete. Cover your eyes with safety glasses. Wear a pair of thick gloves. 2. Remove any broken pieces of concrete along the edge of the sidewalk with a small sledgehammer and a chisel. 3. Spray the sidewalk with a garden hose under medium pressure to clean it thoroughly. Allow the sidewalk to dry completely over the next day or two. 4. Cover the sidewalk with a thick coat of concrete bonding agent using a large paint roller that has a telescoping handle. Dip a paintbrush in the bonding agent and work the material into any nooks and crannies. 5. Apply concrete patch product to any broken

or crumbling areas along the edges of the sidewalk with a metal trowel. Make the patch approximately 3/8-inch thick, and smooth it well with a trowel. Once it has just set, apply a second layer. Smooth this concrete patch with the trowel, as well. Build frames from coated scrap lumber and duplex nails to fit around any deep holes in the sidewalk. Set them into place around these areas. Weigh the frames down by placing metal weights or rocks along the top. Fill the frames with prepared concrete until it just covers each of the damaged areas. Use a spade that fits within the frames to gently level and tamp down the concrete. Cover all of the repaired areas with plastic tarps. Once each day, for seven days, remove the tarps and lightly dampen each of the curing areas with a garden hose. Replace the tarps. Remove the tarps and frames after seven days.

Local funding boost
Gaming grants benefit 108 Heritage Site, sports organizations Gaven Crites Free Press
P
rovincial gaming funds totalling $107,440 have been granted to six local non-profit organizations. The recipients include the 100 Mile and District Minor Hockey Association ($45,000), West Coast Blind Curling Association ($8,000), Kokoro Judo Association ($4,480), 100 Mile House Special Olympics ($3,800), 100 Mile House and District Soccer Association ($26,160) and the 100 Mile House and District Historical Society ($20,000). “The 100 Mile House and District Historical Society will have the resources to help tell the stories of our history to residents and visitors through their museum program,” says CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Ian in a news release announcing the Briggs contributions on July 23. “Sports associations and groups in 100 Mile will also receive a boost of funding to help with travel costs to tournaments in other locations, arena fees or help to purchase new equipment.” Coaches and organizers reacted positively to the news. 100 Mile Special Olympics organizer Denise Barker says the group is “overjoyed” with the funding, which will go to their bowling program that starts in October. “Anytime we receive any amount of funding, whether big or small, we are thrilled. We will be able to pay for the athletes’ bowling costs, relieving them of the fees. Also, we will hopefully be attending a Quesnel bowling tournament in the spring. One season of bowling can run up to $4,000, and the trip to Quesnel can run up to $2,000.” Ian Briggs of the Kokoro Judo Club says the financial demands of running the club are significant. “This money makes the difference between just meeting our financial obligations, to being
able to continue to improve and grow our club.” Rent, heat and utilities are 90 per cent of the club’s operating costs, which are just covered by club fees, Briggs adds. “With this money, we can continue to sponsor some kids to continue in judo who may not otherwise be able to participate. This will also help with training and certification of our coaches. Some of our equipment is getting worn and now we can replace the worst items. We have other ideas too: a club bus for tournaments, a travel fund for needy athletes, a sign for the building, [and] more strength training equipment.” The 100 Mile House and District Soccer Association has about 400 youth in its ranks. The association receives a gaming grant almost every year, which goes to buying balls, nets and uniforms, basically “all the things kids need to actually play,” explains sponsorship director Werner Heine. “In recent times, [money] is tight, even in government,” he says. “We're happy people that make these decisions see this is a worthwhile cause to keep kids active.” Mary-Ann Rutledge was a longtime board member of the 100 Mile House and District Historical Society and only recently stepped down. She applied for the grant, which will mainly pay the wages of two summer students, and go to utilities and small repairs at the 108 Mile Heritage Site. “The donations this year at the museum are way down. They’re really hurting that way.” Rutledge applied for a gaming grant every year since 1997, and only once did not receive one. “[Without those funds], it would be bare bones and volunteers working what the summer students do now,” she explains. “It’s really a very valuable asset to the site.” Funds from provincial gaming revenue are awarded under the Community Gaming Grant Program. The Government of British Columbia contributed $135 million last year in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services, according to the news release.

RCMP have a busy week
Police
report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a total of 118 calls for service this past week. Trailer break-in On Aug. 2, police were called to a breakand-enter from a travel trailer at a residence in the 8000 block of Bridge Lake North Rd. Damage had been caused to the trailer to gain entry. Two propane tanks, a compound bow and food items were taken. Shots fired At 4:23 p.m. on Aug. 2, 100 Mile House RCMP were called to a shots-fired complaint on Unicorn Road. When police arrived to the residence there was no one to be found. Police found the unsecured firearms outside of the residence and numerous spent rounds of ammunition. The firearms were seized. Police continue to investigate and will be following up with the owner of the firearms. Boat checks On Aug. 2, 100 Mile House RCMP and BC Conservation Service members conducted a joint boater safety and angler check on Deka Lake. Twenty-five boats were checked. Three people could not produce their vessel licence; one person did not have an operator’s card; and two persons did not
have PFDs or valid fishing licences. Police will continue to patrol the lakes around the 100 Mile House area throughout summer and into fall. Ditched van At 2:47 p.m. on July 31, police were called to a single-vehicle incident on Eagle Creek Road near Ruth Lake Road, but upon arrival, there was no one at scene. A camper van, which had rolled into the ditch, was found. There was evidence of alcohol consumption and it was believed the driver would have sustained injuries. The matter is still under investigation and police do have a suspect. Any witnesses who may have observed this crash are asked to 100 Mile House RCMP at 250395-2456 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). Street racing At 3:34 p.m. on July 30, 2014, police were called to a motorvehicle collision at the
intersection of Horse Lake Road and Horse Lake North Road. It was reported two vehicles had been racing on Horse Lake Road near Skaday Bridge when one of the vehicles lost control on the sharp corner at the intersection of Horse Lake North Road. There were no injuries. After speaking with numerous witnesses who observed the offence, police charged both drivers for driving without consideration under the Motor Vehicle Act. Police also impounded both vehicles which is mandatory under the street-racing legislation. The drivers are both males in their forties from the 100 Mile House area. Pot bust At 3:05 p.m. on July 29, a vehicle was stopped by Cariboo Traffic Services on Highway 97 near Bullock Lake for speeding. Upon speaking with the driver, a 46-year-old male from the Lower Mainland, an odour of

marijuana was found emanating from the vehicle. Police arrested the male and the subsequent search resulted in a seizure of 1.2 kilograms of marijuana, an assortment of United States and Canadian currency and numerous cell cellphones. The male was released at scene on a promise to appear. Police will be recommending charges

KrIeGer Hartmut
Aug. 22, 1940 - July 25, 2014
With saddened hearts we announce the passing of Hartmut Krieger who was born August 22, 1940 in Frankfurt Germany. Hartmut passed away peacefully at the age of 73 in 100 Mile Hospital after a long year of illness. He was self-employed for 35 years and after developing scleroderma he was forced into an early retirement. This did not slow him down! Hartmut built his own shop on Horse Lake Road and was often seen driving his tractor around, busy at work in his yard. Harmut was predeceased by his son Hartmut Krieger Jr. and is survived by his daughters: Yvonne Krieger Gionet (Norm) and Yvette Betz (Frank), his grandchildren: Joseph Maute and Noah Betz, his great grandchild Carter Maute and his siblings: Wolfgang Thomae and Karl Heinz Krieger. Hartmut will be deeply missed by all who know him including his dog Shadow. A celebration of his life will be held on Sat., August 9, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at his daughter’s residence at 5048 N. Kinncum Road, 108 Mile Ranch. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to be made to any of the following: The Scleroderma Association, Box 218, Delta Main, Delta, BC V4K 3N7; The Canadian Diabetes Association (100 Mile House and District Branch), 1589 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 5Y7 or to the South Cariboo Health Foundation, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key… This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I
have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Raceway. I’d say this will be a heavenly day. With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard
on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.
different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits It’s the most were posted at 35 mph, powerful production I was impressed with Chrysler V8, as well its road manners. And considering I had almost as most powerful 485 horsepower (with production muscle the 6.4L engine), it was car to date, so it as docile as a lethargic needs to be treated lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity with respect. presented itself.

Safety Tip: Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.

The Lone Butte Community Hall will soon be undergoing some renovations in mid August and volunteers are needed to help with some cleanup and various other jobs before and after the work is done. Please contact Chris Schmidt at 250-3952006 if you would like to help. No amount of time is too small! O.U.T. Gals The gals of the Other Unusual Talents group will meet on the first Tuesday morning in August at the community hall from 9:30 a.m. – noonish. They will not be getting together again in August because of the renovations that will be happening at the hall. They will resume regular gatherings in September on the first and third Tuesday mornings. This is a great group of gals
who come together and socialize while crafting, sewing, quilting, or maybe just eating and visiting! All I know for sure is they have a lot of fun and there is usually some really good food. To find out more, give Pat McKay a call at 250395-2114 or just come down to the hall. Everyone is welcome and it only costs a toonie to drop in. Thank you I have been writing this column for almost four years now and have enjoyed putting together most every one. The column has provided many opportunities to plug into things that are going on in our community of Lone Butte and I have been blessed to meet many wonderful and
interesting people in my travels. I have also learned a lot about our area and the diverse individuals that make it up. That being said, my life has become extremely busy with work, children and life, so after long, and careful thought, I have decided to step down as your local columnist. I encourage you to consider your qualifications to become the next Lone Butte community columnist. If you enjoy meeting people, taking photos once in a while, can put a few words together that make sense and want a good excuse to get out and about to a few activities, the job might just be for you. No professional training required. If you have recently moved to
the area, it is a great way to meet people and plug in to what’s happening in your neighbourhood. If you are remotely interested and would like to ask me any questions, feel free to give me a call and then of course, you will need to contact the editor Ken Alexander at the 100 Mile House Free Press office. He’s a great guy to work with, and will certainly answer any concerns you may have. So on that note, I thank my regular con-
tributors for all your support, I thank Ken and the staff at the Free Press for putting up with me and my fumbles, and I especially thank the readers who have faithfully read the column and encouraged me over the last few years, even when I have mixed up details or information. It has been a lot of fun. I wish you all the best and look forward to reading the future Lone Butte columns from our next columnist.

South Cariboo artist wins prestigious award
Carole Rooney Free Press
Local artist and Stone Bear Gallery proprietor, Vance Theoret, has achieved a heightened level of acclaim after winning the Best 3D Art award at the recent 2014 Calgary Stampede. Theoret says he was both thrilled and surprised to hear he had won this prestigious award at Canada’s signature rodeo event. The local stone carver has been vending his art pieces at the Calgary Stampede for 15 years, and this is the first time he has brought home an award.

Local stone carver Vance Theoret was recognized with the Best of Show 3D Art award at the 2014 Calgary Stampede Western Showcase.
“I was speechless. You don’t expect to win. But you keep going and you keep trying and then eventually, maybe, your
art is good enough and the committee of your peers thinks so.” He won a custom, silver belt buckle that is

“very blingy” and will be a treasured keepsake along with an accompanying plaque and ribbon, he says. Theoret was presented with his award at a special, invitationonly VIP gala evening event that previews all the artwork, carvings and sculptures in the Stampede’s art showcase to visiting dignitaries. Held a couple of days before the opening day, it featured awards presented for the best art pieces in the 2D, 3D and Artists Choice categories. He was competing with numerous other illustrious artists who

display their premium 3D works. “I was up against three other stone carvers, and a whole bunch of others. There was a guy who works with metal, and there are, I don’t know how many bronze artists – really, really good bronze artists. “So, it was pretty neat, pretty special to win. It is a very humbling experience.” Theoret notes it is the 102nd year for the world’s largest rodeo event, and about its 35th year offering an art show and sale, which is
a significant showcase for his work. “This is where I make a good part of my income for the year. And, I did well, really well.” He arrived five days ahead with a huge trailer full of more than 100 stone art pieces and stays about 17 days all together, Theoret explains. He adds he presents his art together with two other artists as the Western Light Artists Group in a huge booth/ gallery that is “hard to miss.” Theoret is most nota-
ble for his unique and playful-appearing stone bears, but his work also depicts some other northwestern land and marine animals. To see Theoret’s stone carvings – or his silver buckle – visit his Stone Bear Gallery at 380 First Street during his business hours. He notes even if he brings 25-50 per cent of his carvings featuring other animals to the Stampede, 95 per cent of what he sells will be the bears. “Everybody likes bears, and mine are kind of fun bears.”
