The 65th Annual North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo will have something for every member of the family in Barriere this Labour Day weekend, Aug. 30-Sept. 1.

Heather Matsuda hit the longest drives on No. 13 and No. 17, while Lorraine Scott hit farthest on No. 16 and Donna Brenner did it on No. 14. Longest putts were sunk by Cathy Waite on No. 13, Gloria Corno on No. 11, Angie Wahnschaff on No. 14, Matsuda on No. 18, Scott on No. 16 and Thompson on No. 10.

The entire town is at the mercy of the erratic and deadly cyclones, even as storm trackers predict the worst is yet to come.

Buffalo Creek resident Marie Schulze, 18, has been awarded one of this year’s national Tim Hortons Scholarships. In the essay she wrote with her online application for the scholarship, Schulz says she chose to highlight how to best nurture good working relationships and mutual understanding between different generations, both working at and eating at Tim Hortons. “It’s exciting because first, I was the one to be chosen for it and I wrote this essay for it and, because I am not from here. I am from Germany. I came two or three years ago, so still, my English is sometimes struggling a little bit.” The Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) 2014 graduate says she was thrilled and surprised the essay turned out so well and it pleased the national judges. Schulze adds she will use the $1,000 award for her expenses to attend the University of Victoria (UVic). Tim Hortons of 100 Mile House owner Steve McPhail says Schulze’s level of hospitality and professionalism is beyond reproach. “She’s wonderful. I actually just sat down with her and did a standard job evaluation for performance, and I couldn’t give her any feedback on any where to improve. “She’s truly one-of-akind and just a great kid. It was my privilege to have her as one of my staff.” McPhail notes the selection committee that chooses the scholarship recipients is

Lytton River Festival free

The Lytton River Festival organizers are excited about one of Canada’s top-ranked bands coming to town on Labour Day weekend, Aug. 30-Sept. 1.

Big numbers out for Men’s Club round

Much more than music, the three-day Lytton festival includes many other attractions and venues. Also new in 2014, the festival’s 11th year, is Circus West, a group of young performing artists from Vancouver. Their two onstage performances on Saturday are followed by short workshops where children, youth and adults are taught some basic performing skills. Five live bands per-

form on Friday and Saturday, a farmer’s market, vendors, children’s climbing wall, and children’s kayaking in the local swimming pool are all part of the fun. It’s difficult to choose a highlight but for many folks, the Sunday Pow Wow is the crowning activity. Drum groups and dancers perform and entertain and compete in colourful costumes. The best part? Everything is free!

Dozens of golfers went for the pin and long drives at a weekly 108 Men’s Club round on Aug. 21. Of the 65 participants at the 108 Golf Resort for the nine-hole game, John McNeil (36) and Shane Wilkie (36) shot lowest gross in the first flight, while Dean McNeil (33) and Jeff Kendy (34) shot lowest net scores in the first flight. In the second flight, it was Theo Wiering (36) and Larry Pinkney (40) with low gross, and Lean Van Drimmelen (32) and Greg Aiken (33) with best low-net scores. The third flight saw Rob Douglas (40) and Dan McCafferty (42) firing lowest gross, while Rick Lunsted (33) and Ron Tonts (35) fired lowest net. James Lace (45) and Bryant Hollins (47) were the lowest gross golfers in the fourth flight, while Al Smeds (35) and Peter Messner (36) put up lowest net numbers in the last flight. Deuces went to J. McNeil, Wiering, Bill Stokes, Garry Grosso and Lace. Bill Baerg got it closest to the pin on No. 10. Marty McClusky got it closest to the stick on No. 15. On No. 12, Al Kregosky got it closest. Bill Harris cranked the longest drive on No. 17. Jamie Crellin was longest off the teebox on No. 11. Chris Cameron hit longest on No. 16. Carson Walker was longest on No. 18.

Tensouljers, a band that comprises three horn players, five vocalists, and the best rhythm section in the City of Vancouver, performs on Saturday night at the Lytton festival. Their musical excellence and incredible sound inspire their famously lively, energetic stage show. The band's chemistry is hugely apparent during performances and their repertoire is adapted to their audience.

Local A&W manager Jennifer Daniel volunteered to barbecue some burgers and hotdogs, which A&W donated for the 100 Mile House Kidney Walk on Aug. 17. Jennifer said the Kidney Walk is important to her because her father, Jim, had a kidney transplant last year.

Local Save-On-Foods store manager Craig Lee said the store was happy to support the 100 Mile Kidney Walk on Aug. 17. Noting Save-On-Foods gets a lot of requests for support from various groups, they decided to set up a rehydration station and hand out free water and fresh fruit to all of the participants and the other supporters.

New BC Early Years Centres opening the Provincial Office for the Early Years for this fiscal year as part of a $5.5-million investment over three years. This is great news for the CFEC, as it already has most of the abovementioned programs in place, so the extra funding will allow the management and staff to not only upgrade their programs, but also provide more services for families with children in the zero to six age group. The mobile bus option will be a dream come true for the CFEC personnel because reaching out to rural areas has always been on the radar. With some families coming in to the centre from the rural areas over the years, the CFEC staff has realized there are a lot of people who don’t have the option of coming to 100 Mile House to take advantage of programs for their children and their families. Having the option to travel to the outer

Parents and families in several South Cariboo communities will soon be able to connect to early learning, health and family services in one convenient location. The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) in 100 Mile House is one of 12 community organizations throughout the province that have been selected to host new BC Early Years Centres that will help support families with children up to the age of six. Each centre will offer a variety of programs, services and supports tailored to the needs of their community. These may include: • Parent drop-in programs, such as Parent-Child Mother Goose; • StrongStart BC programs; • Public-health clinics; • Advice and referrals from early-years professionals; • Parent education workshops; • Licensed child care for families; • Child-care resources and referral information; and • A mobile bus to provide outreach to families in rural communities. As was the case with the other sites, the CFEC was chosen by a cross-ministry selection panel that included representatives from the ministries of Children and Family Development, Education and Health, and are located in a diverse mix of urban, rural and Aboriginal communities. Each centre will receive $52,000 from

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take the high road when you find yourself in the midst of a disagreement with a friend. It may be tempting to stick to your guns, but the disagreement is nothing.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. Your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It’s better than putting in no effort at all. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don’t worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 There are only so many hours in the day, Libra. You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, give it your best shot. If it’s something foreign to you, let others take the reins until you’re more comfortable.
