Last week’s end to the teachers’ strike saw students in the province start their school year on Sept. 22 – three weeks later than usual. On Sept. 18, the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) members voted 86 per cent to ratify the agreement reached with the government’s bargaining agent, the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), two days before. Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the six-year contract is an “historic opportunity” to work together for students and focus on the path forward. “On behalf of government, I want to thank and congratulate B.C. teachers for voting in favour of the agreement reached earlier this week between the BCTF and BCPSEA bargaining teams. “We have one of the best public education systems in the world, and that’s in large part because we have such great teachers.” While a great many parents, students and teachers in B.C. are relieved to be back on course, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’

Association president Murray Helmer would not go so far as to say local teachers are happy with the deal. “I think they know it is the best deal available to them at this point in time and that it will achieve some improvements in the classroom, but it probably doesn’t go far enough,” says Helmer. “But, at least it is a start in the right direction.” Class size and composition issues are addressed through the agreement’s new Education Fund. Helmer says that is an improvement over the previous Learning Improvement Fund because it will fund only bona fide teacher positions – not support staff. “There will be more professional teachers in the system as a result of it.” Primarily intended to address special needs supports in classrooms, the individual school boards will work with the principals and teachers, and then bring recommendations to Helmer and other BCTF local presidents to help determine where the money will go, he explains. Helmer adds even with the agreed-upon 7.25 per cent pay increase over the sixyear contract term, teachers’ wages in B.C. will remain amongst the lowest in Canada. “But, I guess it’s realistic in the government’s way of thinking.”

McMillans honoured for generosity Longtime residents recognized for significant support

FAST bytes FARMING EVENT

Carole Rooney Free Press

The British Columbia Farm Women’s Network annual conference is at the Ramada Inn in Williams Lake on Oct. 3-4. It includes guided bus tours to Gibraltar Mine, Dunlevy Ranch and Tolko, as well as a picnic at Soda Creek, a trade fair, an AGM, a dinner with entertainment and many guest speakers. Both women and men are welcome, and folks don’t need to be farmers or ranchers to attend. For more information, call Ginny-Lou Alexander at 250395-3555 or e-mail ginny-lou@telus.net.

formal recognition luncheon was held to honour and recognize longtime residents Jim and Sheila McMillan for their very generous contributions to the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) over the years. While most folks in the South Cariboo depend on the 100 Mile District General Hospital for health care when they need it, some don’t know who its benefactors were, or still are today. The McMillan Family Trust has donated $162,500 from 2006 to 2014, significantly helping the SCHF toward its ongoing goal of supporting the local hospital and South Cariboo Health Centre. SCHF spokesperson Brenda Devine says there was a “really nice turnout” of 19 people to the special event, including several local dignitaries who spoke about the honoured couple and their significant donations. These included CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall, and Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond. Doctors Rod Dickey, Joanne Lapin and Bruce Nicolson were also there to help recognize the McMillans’ contributions to local health care. (Joanne is also an SCHF director.) Sheila’s brother, Alan Boyd, his wife, Janet, former hospital administrator Bill Marshall, and the SCHF chair Mary Shennum and its other board members were also in attendance. Alan also stepped up to make a brief speech about the McMillans. Brenda notes the SCHF board is tremendously grateful to the McMillans, and was delighted to see that Jim and Sheila seemed “extremely pleased” to be recognized at the formal luncheon. “We tried to do it respectfully, to really honour them, and it was a really lovely lunch [and] a very, very

nice day.” A donation recognition plaque was presented to the McMillans by SCHF director Ralph Fossum at the luncheon, and is to be displayed in the hospital. “I was amazed,” says Jim. “We had a nice time. “I made a comment [about] how I was born out at Horse Lake 87 years ago,

hospitals. This generous couple formed the trust along with their three daughters, and through their financial gifts have provided assistance to the SCHF in purchas-

ing a variety of equipment, infrastructure upgrades, and donations to associated activities, such as hospice/ palliative care programs. Brenda explains the McMillan Family Trust donations are invested, with purchases spread out over several years, so the SCHF is able to allot funds to important hospital projects as they arise. “Then, we tell them what we are putting that money towards. “There are some good things ongoing ... [such as] a chemotherapy consultation room that has been started.” The plaque notes this generosity, and a bit about the family’s local history, including the very successful sawmill Jim and his brother, Glenn, owned and operated in Lone Butte under the business name of McMillan Contractors Ltd. What began as a portable sawmill operation in 1950 turned into a stationary mill. Jim notes it was located on leased land beside the railroad tracks on Watch Lake Road from 1963 to 1978, by which time it was running a two-shift opera-

tion cutting slightly more 16 million board feet a year. From there, Jim attained a significant level of success and achieved worldwide industry acknowledgement for his log recovery methods. This came about through a study made and published by the federal government’s Forest Recovery Lab, he explains. Jim says the renowned sawmill was eventually purchased by the Ainsworth forest company sight unseen – except from the air. He later wrote a book about his experiences, They came to Lone Butte, by James R. McMillan, which is still available at the 100 Mile House and Williams Lake libraries today. The SCHF briefly noted Jim’s business acumen, which led to financial success allowing for his and Sheila’s generosity, on the plaque. “Never ones to take their success for granted, the McMillans have made numerous donations to the local hospital over many years,” it states. “The McMillans typify the hard-working and inventive pioneers of B.C.’s forest industry.”

TRAINING FUNDS More than 140 Aboriginal learners will receive culturally relevant training and support services to connect them to job opportunities. As part of B.C.’s Aboriginal Training for Employment Program, $1 million in funding will support 10 programs delivered by Aboriginal service providers. These include $100,000 to the First Nations’ Emergency Services Society in Williams Lake for training geared toward employment areas, such as firefighting, fuel management and emergency management.

Tribal park legitimacy in question

Gaven Crites Free Press

The Tsilhqot’in Nation’s decision to set up a tribal park in British Columbia’s Interior includes the proposed New Prosperity Mine site, one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. Tsilhqot’in leaders oppose the contentious Taseko Mines Ltd. project, which was twice rejected by the federal government over environmental concerns, while the project has support in a number of Cariboo communities because of its potential economic benefits. The Dasiqox Tribal Park – meant to protect about 3,120 square

kilometres of land and waterways from largescale industrial activity – is to be formally recognized with a totem-pole raising ceremony at Fish Lake (Teztan Biny), in a remote area southwest of Williams Lake, on Oct. 4. In June, for the first time in history, the Supreme Court of Canada granted Aboriginal title to a First Nation – the Tsilhqot’in – of its traditional territory in the Chilcotin. However, the New Prosperity site, near Fish Lake, is located outside the area recognized by the Supreme Court. Brian Battison, vicepresident of corporate affairs for Taseko Mines Ltd., says he’s “puz-

zled” by the tribal park announcement. “The area around New Prosperity is Crown land, owned by the people of B.C.,” he says. “I think the gesture seemed largely a symbolic one, rather than one founded in law.” In regards to a question about the tribal park’s legitimacy, a B.C. government spokesperson says only the Ministry of Environment, under the Parks Act, has the authority to designate an area of the province as a park. Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad says the government is aware of the tribal park proposal, but has not been presented with

details by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. Premier Christy Clark met with Tsilhqot’in leaders on their traditional territory in the Nemiah Valley and signed a Letter of Understanding (LOU) committing the parties to strengthening their government-to-government relationship on Sept. 10. “We are confident that the structure set out through the LOU signed with the Tsilhqot’in Nation will provide an appropriate mechanism to discuss this [tribal park] issue,” Rustad says. The tribal park is between the Xeni Gwet’in and Yunesit’in First Nations, two of six Tsilhqot’in Nation

bands. Xeni Gwet’in chief Roger William acknowledges the tribal park includes land outside out of the area won as Aboriginal title in the Supreme Court decision, but adds the Tsilhqot’in have never given up that land to any government, and still lay claim to it. “We’re saying at this area in the Chilcotin... [the tribal park] is our idea going forward.” William says they plan to work with the province on how the tribal park will be managed. See related story on page A7.

Have your voice heard in health care

Family doctors want to hear what you have to say about access to health care in our community. The public is invited to a Community Engagement Session tomorrow (Sept. 25), 7-8:30 p.m., at Horton Ventures to share their insight and help shape the future of local health care. It is being held as part of the new project, A GP for Me, which is a joint initiative of the B.C. Liberal government and Doctors of BC. The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) is a group of doctors in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Tatla Lake who are committed to improving the delivery of local health care. It is working with A GP for Me to make sure everyone who wants a family doctor has easy access to one, and to increase the capacity of the primary health-care

system. CIRDFP spokesperson Shilo Labelle says it is working to make sure everyone who wants a family doctor has access to one. “Help us, by sharing your thoughts at our community engagement events.” To further support this project, the CIRDFP is also conducting a local Community Health Care Survey until Oct. 1, and it is offering a chance to win one of three prizes. The grand prize is tickets, airfare and accommodation for two to a Vancouver Canucks game in Vancouver. Second prize is an ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 Tablet, with a third prize of dinner for two at Vidas Restaurant in 108 Mile Ranch.

A comedic fable that unfolds in Cheesebridge, a posh Victorian-era town obsessed with wealth, class, and the stinkiest of fine cheeses. Beneath its charming cobblestone streets dwell the Boxtrolls, foul monsters who crawl out of the sewers at night and steal what the townspeople hold most dear: their children and their cheeses. At least, that’s the legend residents have always believed. In truth, the Boxtrolls are an underground cavern-dwelling community of quirky and lovable oddballs who wear recycled cardboard boxes the way turtles wear their shells. The Boxtrolls have raised an orphaned human boy, Eggs, since infancy as one of their dumpster-diving and mechanical junk-collecting own. When the Boxtrolls are targeted by villainous pest exterminator Archibald Snatcher, who is bent on eradicating them as his ticket to Cheesebridge society, the kindhearted band of tinkerers must turn to their adopted charge and adventurous rich girl Winnie to bridge two worlds amidst the winds of change - and cheese. • Rated G • Length 1:37

Justice system improvements underway Aug. 30 marked the two-year anniversary of a report that helped pave the way for significant improvements aimed at making British Columbia’s justice system quicker and more accessible for British Columbians. This is a milestone worth marking, as the report serves as a blueprint for reforming the justice system into one that meets the needs and expectations of the people it serves. A Criminal Justice System for the 21st Century was delivered by legal expert Geoffrey Cowper, based on his extensive review of B.C.’s criminal-justice system. We have made meaningful progress toward achieving the reforms envisioned in Cowper’s report and it’s important we take the opportunity to share the status of these changes with British Columbians. We delivered an action plan for system-wide change in a two-part white paper within months of

school. School District #27 (SD27) superintendent Mark Thiessen says the schools are vibrating with high energy and excitement. As of Sept. 23, school in SD27 is back in session on a full-time basis. That means we have to be careful to make sure students get to and from school safely. As motorists, we have to drive extra cautiously because it’s our vehicles that do the damage if there’s an incident. This includes parents dropping off and picking up their children. We have to remember the maximum speed limit in a school zone is 30 kilometres per hour (km/h). It’s advisable to slow down a bit more if there are a lot of children on the sidewalks, especially near crosswalks and intersections. The 30 km/h speed limit in the school zones is exactly the same speed limit for all roads in the District of 100 Mile House. The exceptions are 50 km/h speed limits on Horse Lake and Exeter roads and Highway 97. The 30 km/h speed limit posted in school zones is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we should always stop for pedestrians – it’s the law. Furthermore, vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. If a vehicle is stopped in front of us, it may have yielded for a pedestrian, so we have to be prepared to stop, too. When we’re dropping children off in school zones, we should stop and allow them to exit the vehicle from the door closest to the sidewalk, and never allow children to cross mid-block. Students also need to be safety wise and road wary to avoid accidents. They must not be distracted when they are going to and from school, especially when they are walking through intersections and crosswalks. Older students need to stop texting and remove headphones or ear buds when crossing the street. They should not jaywalk, as it is both dangerous and it also sets a bad example for younger children. As parents, we need to teach our children to look both ways and make eye contact with a motorist before crossing the road. Families should discuss these safety rules and make sure they are followed daily. Let’s make sure everyone gets to school and back home again safely.

settle strata and smallclaims disputes quickly and easily online. This is part of our plan to make the justice system work better for people, by giving them more convenient access to services and more tools to find effective resolutions quicker and at less cost. But successful change, Cowper stressed, requires all justice system participants to work together. He encouraged collaboration and co-ordination between justice professionals. Guided by Cowper’s recommendations and government’s action plan for reforms, I’m confident we are establishing a strong foundation to move forward with practical changes that will improve the experiences of British Columbians who access the justice system over the coming years.

Opinion

Only the tip of ethics scandal To the editor: While the RCMP laid 31 criminal charges against former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy, his prosecution is far from the end of the ethics scandal at the heart of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office. Duffy fell from grace a long time ago. Yet the most important questions about the scandal remain unanswered and there are far too many people, who were involved in questionable activities, who have

not faced any consequences. This entire affair is the result of Mr. Harper’s poor judgement. He was the one who put Mike Duffy in the Senate, despite not having lived in PEI for decades. Mr. Harper was the one who fostered a culture in the PMO where his inner circle thought it was OK to write a $90,000 cheque to Mr. Duffy. Despite the Conservatives’ claims that one man – former

PMO Chief of Staff Nigel Wright – is solely responsible for the entire mess, RCMP documents allege that a dozen senior Conservatives were heavily involved. Many knew about the $90,000 cheque, but did nothing to alert the proper authorities; indeed, the documents attest that some helped facilitate the payment and its terms. The RCMP’s evidence suggests that some were allegedly involved

has jurisdiction. An ethics investigation is essential to help repair the damage this scandal has done to the dignity and integrity of our public institutions. The bar for what is acceptable conduct in the government of Canada should not be whether the RCMP has laid criminal charges against you. Geoff Regan Liberal MP for Halifax West

Reader upset with comments

Classes too big, or too unruly?

Editor: Re: Factory model fading for schools (Guest Shot, page A9 on Sept. 10). With respect to class size, one thing that is never discussed is the lack of behavioural discipline of the students. Some years ago, I had a job as a teaching assistant in the federal prison system, where I noticed that many prisoners were stuck at the Grade 5 level. That led me to take the social service program at a secondary institution to become a teaching assistant in the public school and help the “slower” students overcome learning difficulties. While doing my practicum in a school, I was appalled at the chaos in the classroom. While the teacher was busy at the green board explaining a lesson, several students walked about having conversations with other classmates, while others walked over to the window looking at the playground.

in interfering with the independent audit, changing an independent Senate report and engaging in a coverup of the entire affair. None have been disciplined or demoted. A year ago Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson suspended her study of the scandal, so as to not interfere with the RCMP’s criminal investigation. Now that charges have been laid, Liberals are calling on Ms. Dawson to resume her investigation into all those over whom she

Juxtapose that to my experience in public school where we didn’t dare chat, never mind wandering about. Also, the wife of a former governor of Washington State took a group of teachers to China a few years ago and observed the discipline of the children there. The average class size was about 50 students. All of the students were at their desks focused on the teacher. To have 200-300 students in a university auditorium listening to a lecture, there is discipline. If students in a classroom were studying online with only a monitor walking around, the matter of discipline would not be an issue. You could have many students in a classroom, each student progressing at his or her own speed and then have periodic tests as is done through distance education. Ted Grigoleit Burnaby

To the editor: This letter was sent to [Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA] Donna Barnett. I am beyond angry at the comments made by [Premier] Christy Clark on Sept. 3. How dare she say the teachers are asking for too much when they have given themselves so much. Teachers have fallen far below the level where others in the profession are paid! When I began teaching 45 years ago, I made about the same as a beginning police officer or a beginning registered nurse. Today, a person belonging to either of these groups will be paid about 150 per cent of what a beginning teacher makes.

I believe the [British Columbia Teachers’ Federation] salary demands were unreasonable – unreasonably low. While our premier sends her child to private school where children with special

needs are often excluded, the children of this province were being held hostage by an unreasonable government.

Hospitality appreciated To the editor: I am sending this letter to the editor to address a couple of your local businesses that showed a lot of hospitality in helping my son who was recently travelling through your community and experienced vehicle problems. The Westwood Motel and Kranky’s Garage were very accommodating and helpful, and made a stressful situation for a young person much easier. Two thumbs up to small-town hospitality! Karen Keis Quesnel

his November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone?” You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did, and some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A longtime NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence

an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on Aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

the province Prank phone call led to RCMP ERT response KAMLOOPS - An hours-long police operation in Sahali on Friday night (Sept. 19) was the result of a prank phone call known as “swatting.” Kamloops Mounties rushed to 1775 McKinley Court at about 7:20 p.m. after receiving a call from a male who claimed he was armed, had shot someone inside a home at that address and would shoot any responding police officers. The RCMP’s emergency-response team was deployed, along with other Mounties and paramedics, and the area on McKinley Court was cordoned off for hours, until all units in the townhouse complex were cleared. Ultimately, police determined the call had been a prank, one intended to have Mounties rush to a non-existent event, a practice known as “swatting” and one that can lead to criminal charges. Mounties are still investigating who made the call. Top pianist performs with PGSO PRINCE GEORGE — One of Canada’s iconic classical pianists, Jane Coop, will perform with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra on its 2014/15 season opener at Vanier Hall on Oct. 4. Coop joins the orchestra as soloist in Robert Schumann’s poetic Piano Concerto. Rounding out the program will be Brahms Symphony #3. Coop has played with orchestras around the world. She also taught for many years at UBC, where she was head of the piano division and has served on the juries of many international competitions. As a soloist, Coop has played with orchestras around the world. Since winning their Young Performers Competition at age 19, Coop has broadcast continuously on the CBC. Her recordings have won several Juno awards. Since her retirement from teaching, Coop has devoted herself to performing and mentoring upcoming pianists. Coop was awarded the Order of Canada in 2012.

While attempting to determine what was occurring, Anderson brandished a knife and made threatening gestures to use the knife against the officer. After a brief standoff, he fled from the building. It is also alleged Sinclair then produced a knife making threats against police, as well as causing property damage to the building and harm to herself. A brief standoff ensued and eventually she relinquished the knife to police. An RCMP member conducting patrols in the area located Anderson on Cedar Avenue. The officer attempted to arrest him and the suspect responded violently. He was subdued, arrested and taken to detachment cells. Sinclair was also charged for her part in the incident. She is also accused of threatening an officer with a knife. Sinclair is back in 100 Mile House provincial court on Sept. 29.

All the staff at Lakeland Veterinary Clinic would like to apologize to anyone who was unable to contact us recently as our emergency answering system (administered by Telus) was not functioning properly.

Daryl Anderson appeared in Kamloops provincial court on Sept. 18 and was sentenced to 13 months in jail, and given a two years probation and a five-year firearms prohibition after entering a guilty plea to two accounts of assaulting a police officer. The 45-year-old 100 Mile House resident also entered a guilty plea to one count of possession of a controlled substance and two counts each of breach of probation and breach of an undertaking. The charges stemmed from a domestic dispute between Anderson and his common-law wife Alana Sinclair, 30. Around 6:45 p.m. on June 4, 100 Mile House RCMP were advised of a domestic dispute in progress at an apartment building located on the 700 block of Cariboo Trail. The first officer on scene attended the residence where he encountered Anderson and Sinclair who were involved the dispute.

Phillip May back in court Nov. 13

Ken Alexander Free Press

Facing an attempted murder charge, 100 Mile House area resident Phillip Thomas May appeared in a Williams Lake courtroom Sept. 17. A date for a focus hearing, which will determine the direction the court case will take, was set for Nov. 13 in 100 Mile House. The 59-year-old is also facing other charges, following a shooting incident and police chase on May 31. Around 8:25 a.m., 100 Mile House RCMP members responded to a complaint about a male being in distress at a 93 Mile Loop Road residence, and they found a 39-year-old man who had been shot. May was identified as the suspect and officers went to a Lone Butte area residence to arrest him. When they arrived, officers confirmed May was present and they set up containment areas around the residence because they believed he was armed. May fled the residence, hopped into a vehicle and sped away. RCMP members were able to effectively deploy a spike belt, but after May drove over it, he continued driving on the rims. Fearing he was making his way toward a more populated area, officers forced his vehicle off the road by performing a precision immobilization technique manoeuvre – a pursuing car forces a fleeing car by bumping it and making it abruptly turn sideways, causing the driver to lose control and stop.

School board candidates step up

The School District #27 (SD27) Zone 2 and Zone 3 trustees say they will run again in the Nov. 15 local government elections. SD27 Zone 2 Trustee Tanya Guenther is completing her first three-year term as trustee, which saw her also serve the past year as school board chair. “During this term, I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal about our education system, and also become an effective member of the board,” she says. Guenther adds she still has more to contribute as a trustee on the board. “One of the main issues is to ensure students throughout our district are provided with the best educational opportunities to enable them to be successful. “The other work I feel will be very important in the coming weeks, months and beyond will be working on strengthening and re-building relationships with staff, parents, students and community members.” The change to a four-year term is an opportunity for the board to have an additional year to plan and complete projects, Guenther explains. SD27 Zone 3 Trustee Chris Pettman has served two years of the term, as he was acclaimed in the 2012 byelection. “I’m just gaining

some momentum with the school district ... to get a good

grasp on how it works and how we can make things better – not

only for [SD27], but for the kids of the South Cariboo,” says Pettman. He adds the recent change to a fouryear term is a detriment that requires a “very serious commitment” to the trustees’ already heavy workload

and schedule. “It definitely gave me more pause to think before I re-entered the race.” Pettman explains he definitely wants to bring more of the issues for students to the board table, particularly for at-risk students because he finds a lot of times their voices don’t get heard. “I’d like to bring those issues to the forefront.”

The trustee for SD27 Zone 1, Will Van Osch, is retiring and stepped down as board chair in July 2013 to allow another trustee to gain experience at the helm.

So far, no candidates have publicly released a declaration to pursue the position of Zone 1 trustee. Some information on running in a

local government election is online at www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/ lgd/2014elections/ index.htm, and the SD27 website at www. sd27.bc.ca.

The West Fraser 100 Mile Lumber rebuild is going full-bore with the mill shut down until just after Thanksgiving, while work is underway in its key construction stage. The upgrades will bring numerous benefits to its production process, with more efficient technology consuming less electricity while producing more pieces of lumber from each log processed.

West Fraser rebuild booms ahead

PART OF THE CARIBOO SINCE 1952 “Committed to the Shared Use of Our Resources and Ensuring Forests for Tomorrow”

West Fraser 100 Mile Lumber general manager Sandor Buchi says the facility rebuild is now in its key construction stage. The mill is essentially shut down for a month to install all the remaining components in the major upgrade, he explains. “The last production shift was

Sept.12, and we plan on being down for about four weeks, so the first shift will run on Oct. 14, after the long weekend.” The first stage was completed when the mill was down for a couple of weeks in June, as planned, when the barker was installed. Back then, the final stage was slated to happen during the month of August. However, that fell behind schedule when an equipment

Wagner says there will be some children’s activities and entertainment. The event includes all of the students attending SD27 schools, as Orange Shirt Day has become part of their curriculum, she notes. “At the end of the program, there are always activities for the school children to do because it is [a school day].” Beginning last year, British Columbia has now released 4,900 death records for children aged four-19 attending Indian residential schools between 1870 and 1984, when the last residential school in the province was closed.

Pet blessing slated for 100 Mile House

It has long been a tradition around the world for a ceremony of blessing of the animals to be held on the day of St. Francis of Assisi – Oct. 4. St. Francis of Assisi is thought of as the patron saint of animals and the environment. This is why there will be a short service of Blessing of Pets at 2 p.m. on

Oct. 4 in the parking lot in front of St. Timothy’s Anglican Church. Everyone in 100 Mile House and area is welcome to attend and to bring their pets of any kind. All animals should be under some form of restraint. The ceremony has been well attended in the past and appreciated by the pet owners.

Big chips in the pot

www.100milefreepress.net

Sports

FAST bytes RODEO RESULTS

Wranglers get impressive win

Gaven Crites Free Press

It's early, but a theme is emerging: Devan Suidy pots goals and Kristian Stead stops pucks. And the 100 Mile House Wranglers win. The local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club put on quite a show for the 554 in attendance at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Sept. 19, improving to 3-1-0 with a 2-1 home-opener win over the Summerland Steam. Suidy, the Wranglers captain, notched both goals, while linemates Cole Zimmerman (2) and Lane van Wetering (1) tallied assists. Stead made 35 saves. “I think our success,

not just in the homeopener, but in the first four games of the season, look directly at the newly-acquired Devan Suidy, who's scored every game,” says coach Dale Hladun. “He's a big strong kid, and he does provide leadership for us. A lot of the young guys are following Devan. “The other fella that was probably the bigger chip in the pot was Kristian Stead,” Hladun adds. “We're still bumbling away in how to play defensive zone coverage, so Kristian just bailed the boys out.” The Wranglers were outshot 36-15. Summerland (3-1-0) is a strong team, having beat the Kamloops Storm, last season's Doug Birks Division

Local talent Cole Zimmerman celebrated after the 100 Mile House Wranglers notched the winning goal in the hockey club's home-opener, a 2-1 win over the Summerland Steam at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Sept. 19.

champs, 5-0 earlier this season. “I thought for us to get two points on them is pretty strong this time of the year,” Hladun says, adding the atmosphere in 100 Mile House was unlike anything the Wranglers saw on a road trip, with three home-openers in other buildings, to start the season. “I was proud to be a Wrangler. I thought

we did a heck of job. The tailgate party, the presentation of the kids, the atmosphere in the rink, the energy, the events between periods – nobody was even close to what we did.” Zimmerman, a big 18-year-old skater from 100 Mile House, was an important part of the team's success last season. This year, he's playing alongside Suidy and van de Wetering,

talented forwards with a nose for the back of the net. Needless to say, he likes his spot in the lineup. “All I have to do is get the puck in deep and work for those guys and everything will turn out,” Zimmerman says. It's early, but the Wranglers, with more roster moves in the works, look primed for another big season.

'Fire in the belly'

“If we keep everything up, and our minds are focused, we can probably win our division,” says Zimmerman. Suidy leads the team with seven points in four games, while Michael Lynch, Nick Headrick and Zimmerman have three. 100 Mile House hosts the Osoyoos Coyotes on Sept. 26 and the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sept. 27.

Former NHL star talks junior hockey, love of the game during 100 Mile visit Gaven Crites Free Press

Local hockey fans met an NHL great ahead of the 100 Mile House Wranglers home opener on Sept. 19. Cliff Ronning, a Burnaby-born forward, played five of his 20 seasons in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks, including the team's Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 1994. Ronning dropped the puck at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre when the Wranglers hosted the Summerland Steam. In the early 80s, before he was drafted by the St. Louis Blues, Ronning was a Western Hockey League [WHL] star and midget hockey national champion. He says, compared to his playing days, junior hockey in Canada, at every level, is a step better. “Junior B now is like the British Columbia Hockey League [Junior A] when I played, and the BCHL is like the WHL. You look at the bantam

kids and they're playing like midget players. It goes all the way down. The talent level is amazing.” While he always had a great scoring touch, Ronning, standing 5 feet 8, was also always one of the smaller guys on

the ice. He says the thing that comes up the most talking with young hockey players are the ups and downs of trying to get to the professional level. “I think it's really the fire in the belly that determines whether you're

going to keep going and playing at higher levels. I had that. I used other people telling me I was too small...as fuel for me to try even harder.” Ronning retired from the NHL in 2004. He says he's really enjoying life since then. Four year ago he started a company, BASE Hockey, which builds customized hockey sticks. The former Canuck spent hours inside the 100 Mile House Curling Club working with Wranglers and other local talents on their shooting technique. “It's fulfilling being an ex-player and being able to pass on proper knowledge,” he says. “I think the biggest thing [for local people to know] is really cheer on your Wranglers. I think it's a great environment here. We go around and see a lot of junior teams. "I know [Wranglers coach Dale Hladun] will have this place rocking. I've known him for a long time and I know he has a lot of passion to help these kids get to the next level.”

The BC Rodeo Association ended its 2014 season in Quesnel, Sept. 12-14. Lone Butte's Rike Wieth finished first with a time of 2.9 seconds in breakaway roping on Sept. 13, earning $500. Ty Lytton, of 108 Mile Ranch, finished third with partner Myles King of Williams Lake in team roping with a time of eight seconds on Sept. 13. The pair took home $250 each.

BOXING SHOWDOWN Ken Huber is set to defend his national cruiserweight title in Ontario, Oct. 17. The World Boxing Council Canadian Championship, an “east meets west” showdown, will feature some of the country's top male and female fighters. Huber, nicknamed “Heavy Hands”, was born and raised in the 100 Mile House area. The amateur boxer, who's also a provincial champion, fights out of the Kamloops Boxing Academy.

SENIORS GOLF The 108 Seniors Golf Club had an excellent turnout of 27 members for a final round of Texas Scramble with mixed teams on Sept. 18. Met Boyson, Hank Bueckert, Dave Funk and Ian Gunn were winners at the 108 Golf Resort. Shirley Boyson, Bonnie McColl, Ron Law and Bryan Mutch placed second. Afterwards, golfers enjoyed a beef stroganoff luncheon. The surprise chef was none other than 108 Golf Resort head professional Andy Wahnschaff. The next seniors golf season begins May 2015.

Curlers set to rock

www.100milefreepress.net

Beginner and veteran curlers will like what the upcoming season has to offer. Registration for a number of leagues – including mens, ladies, mixed and a fun business league – starts today (Sept. 24), and goes again Oct. 1, from 4-7 p.m.

The club, located next to the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road, is actively looking for four-player teams for the business league, which goes Monday nights. It's open to all skill levels, great for new curlers, and a good time for friends and family.

For those wanting to learn more about the sport, or looking for a refresher, a curling clinic is set for Oct. 3-5. People can sign up for $25. The lessons consist of things such as the rules of the game, etiquette, scoring, strategy, delivery and sweeping techniques.

The club is hosting four big bonspiels this winter. A junior bonspiel is slated for November. The Western Canadian Blind Curling Championships and the annual men's bonspiel are set for January. The ladies bonspiel is set for March.

Duathlon back for another lap Code Three contestants set to run, bike, run

An upcoming offroad race in 100 Mile House will see participants cover 25-kilometres – as individuals or as a team – running and biking and raising money for local causes. The Second Annual Code Three Duathlon is set for 10 a.m. on Sept. 28 at 99 Mile Ski Hill. The all-ages event is presented by 100 Mile House Fire Rescue and sponsored by

Ainsworth. The race starts with a five-km run, followed by a 15-km mountain bike ride, then one last fivekm run. Veronica Borg, an organizer, say it's a fun undertaking for the fire department and a way to benefit the community. “We usually see people on their worst day. We're trying to create some community spirit, to engage the public in

a different way. So they know we're out there and we're also trying to support other causes.” Funds go towards the Hun City Mountain Bike Club and the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society. Registration is the day of the race at 9 a.m., or people can pick up a registration form in advance at Focus Fitness or Borgo's Sports Shack on Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House.

Entry is $35 per person or $60 per team. For more information, contact Borg at 250-644-2209.

April 6, 1919 - Sept. 14, 2014

Our precious Mom, Ann, passed away peacefully in 100 Mile Hospital on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2014 at the age of 95 years. Mom was born in North Vancouver, B.C. and as a girl, grew up in Lynnmour along with her two brothers, Tommy and Jackie. After Mom and Dad married, they continued to live in Lynnmour for many years next to her parents. They eventually moved to Fountain Valley in Lillooet, B.C. and did return to the Coast for some time before their final move to 100 Mile House in 1998 to be closer to family. Mom enjoyed gardening, baking and writing beautiful poetry in the wee hours of the morning. She loved doing things for her family and many friends. One of Mom’s greatest joys was taking her friends out for lunch and enjoying their visits. Mom was predeceased by her husband, Philip, in 2000; her parents, two brothers, granddaughter Crystal Caplett, and great-granddaughter Dani Woodman. She is survived by her four children, daughters: Carol (Jim) Caplett of Oliver, B.C. and Shirley (Ernie) Woodman of 100 Mile House, B.C.; sons: Terry Wright of 100 Mile House, B.C. and Bill Hepting of Port Coquitlam, B.C.; grandchildren: Steven, Kim, Loni, Nicole and David; nine great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. Mom will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Mom, we love you; you will be forever in our hearts. A special thanks from Ann’s family to the nurses and caregivers – Mom’s “Girls”at Fischer Place, for your wonderful care and compassion shown to Mom and the family and for taking the time to listen when the family had questions and concerns about Mom. A thank you also to the 100 Mile Hospital who cared for our mom, you are very much appreciated. A memorial service will be held for Mom on October 4, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 5503 Park Drive, 100 Mile House, B.C. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of 100milefuneralservice@gmail.com

When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little—but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that was once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It’s all a part of the master’s plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. ~ Author Unknown

However, Marvin had a dream, and in 2001, he founded the Psalm 23 Transition Society. His first location was in his basement, which was available to a few desperate men who also wanted to end their addiction and change the course of their lives.

Dan Lytton memorialized in mural Colourful new painting graces wall on Cariboo Mall

Carole Rooney Free Press

he 100 Mile House & District Mural Society has a grand, new mural depicting the late Dan Lytton installed on the west wall of One Another-A Coffee House in Cariboo Mall. Society president Ruth Peterson originally discussed the idea with Dan’s eldest son, Ty Lytton, and Ty’s wife, Rae-Lynn, last spring.

Rae-Lynn Lytton photo

Denver, front, and Tel Lytton were thrilled to help paint some of the new mural featuring their grandfather, Danny Lytton.

Ruth says she is “very pleased” that the family strongly supported the idea and has contributed toward the costs for the mural and a plaque to be attached soon. “I absolutely love it, and it’s based on such an amazing story.”

This is the first mural to have a protective clear-coat, due to its westerly exposure and pastel colours, she notes. Ruth adds funds were also collected in community donations, and then the mural society covered the majority of the costs from its various grants and annual contributions. Ruth notes these grants included support from the District of 100 Mile House, the 100 Mile & District Arts Council and others. Rae-Lynn says she and Ty worked collaboratively with Ruth and Williams Lake artist Dwayne Davis to come up with a basic design that best represented Danny’s life, character and personality. “When the 100 Mile mural society came to us and asked if they could do a mural of Dan Lytton, we were honoured.” A well-known Sheridan Lake rancher, father of four and 2005 Cowboy Hall of Fame inductee, Dan was a top 10 professional contender in the rodeo circuit for almost 30 years before he was seriously injured in an accident at the Princeton finals in 2000. Noting Dan was “very much a community family man,” Rae-Lynn says the Lytton family felt having him portrayed in a mural would recognize him in perpetuity for all his accomplishments, his perseverance when he went through the accident and the hurdles he had over-

come during his life. Dan continued ranching from a wheelchair and on his ATV, as a certified cattle buyer who ran over 100 head of cattle with his wife, Linda, and his family until he passed away in 2012, at age 63. After a few discussions with Ruth and Dwayne, pulling from their combined experience from past murals and a subset of favourite family photographs of Dan, the family expressed their wishes for the mural design, Rae-

Lynn explains. She says Dwayne then came up with a digital photo-collage image that Ty, Rae-Lynn, their children Tel, 5, and Denver, 3, and Linda all thought represented Dan very well. Rae-Lynn adds she and Ty often brought the children out to visit and help with Dan’s cattle and hay fields. “Tel started to call him ‘cowboy grandpa’ as soon as he could talk, and the name has stuck. Cowboy grandpa always wore his cowboy

hat and was a true cowboy through and through.” Noting Dan’s grandchildren loved to go for rides on his wheel chair, she says when Tel was about two years old he would say “buck” and cowboy grandpa would get his chair up on two wheels and bounce it up and down like a bronc horse. “It was their own little rodeo.” Rae-Lynn says that during the painting process she, Ty, and their children went to visit with Dwayne and

watch him paint. After a few minutes, Dwayne asked Tel and Denver if they would like to paint on their grandfather’s mural – so they did. Tel was able to do this on his own, so he painted trees on the far side of the lake, she says, adding he talks excitedly about it whenever they drive by. “It was a very proud moment for all of us, as this will be an experience that Ty and I will always remember and think of when we see it.”

On a glorious, sunny Sept. 16, Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission’s (RLDRC) new wheelchairaccessible multi-purpose trail was officially opened. The $40,000 cost of the Pioneer Heritage Wilderness Trail was borne by the British Columbia Community Recreation Program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the Cariboo Regional District (CRD). Its construction, by many local businesses, was guided by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The 0.7-kilometre trail includes picnic tables and benches, a wheelchair accessible outhouse and a wildlife information signboard. CRD Area L Director Bruce Rattray and several local residents cut the ribbon to open the trail. Scary Halloween The Interlakes

he show drew big laughs from a sold-out crowd last year, so the Hun City Hunnies are bringing it back. The non-profit community improvement society is hosting its Second Annual Comedy Night at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Oct. 3. “We’ve got some big names in the comedy world lined up, and we’re really excited to bring them to 100 Mile House,” says Danielle McLauchlin, one of the organizers. “We’re really looking forward to bringing this event back, as we so much enjoyed hosting it last year.” The 19-plus event will feature Vancouver-based comedians Damonde Tschritter, Katie-Ellen Humphries and Kevin Banner. Tickets are $20 each, while groups can reserve tables of eight for $160. “It’s so much more fun when you can sit with your peeps,” says Hun City Hunnies member

BELOW THE BELT

Country Night sold out again

By Mark McMillan Wow, it was another sold-out Cariboo Country Night on Sept. 13. Folks all commented on how much fun they had, how good the entertainment was, and how good the barbecue steak dinner was. A few people said it was one of the best yet.  I’ve put on a lot of concerts over the years, and a lot of them have been sold-out shows, but I don’t remember having to turn down people in the numbers we did this year. We had to squeeze in extra tables and chairs to try to accommodate the 115 who did get tickets, but I’m betting we could have sold another 30 tickets or more on Saturday morning alone! The entertainment this year was provided by Hugh McLennan, Leslie Ross and Jason Ruscheinsky – and they all did a super job. Each did a set before dinner, then Jason and Leslie formed a duet for their second set and Hugh followed with another set. At the end of Hugh’s set, the centre tables in

the hall were removed, Jason and Leslie joined him on stage and the three of them had the dance floor crowded and bouncing.  I think the biggest surprise to everyone was Jason, as he had never been to Cariboo Country Night before and many had never heard him sing and play his guitar. This kid has talent. Jason is a natural entertainer with humour, wit, and a voice that sounds amazing. He shared a poem that he had written and it brought the crowd to their feet with a standing ovation. Thanks to Save-OnFoods for the steaks, the Clinton 4H Club, which lent us its humungous barbecue, and the volunteer cooks, the meal was awesome – complete with desert. Mark McMillan is the Cariboo Country Night key organizer.

You often hear that pets resemble their owners and in some ways that’s happening more and more. Not too many years ago, puppies and kittens frequently died in the first months of life due to infectious disease. Many more were lost to accidents or injury. Professionals involved with dogs such as bird dog trainers or those involved with dogs showing, would not even consider paying for a puppy until it was nearing adulthood because so many succumbed to distemper or parasitic infections as young puppies. Few pets suffered from cancer, as most never lived long enough to get it. Most cats earned their keep by keeping pests under control, a risky occupation that exposed them to parasites, predators and disease. Working and hunting dogs were not routinely vaccinated and, without access to antibiotics, many would not survive infections from what we would today consider to be a minor injury. The same was true for their owners--farming and occupational accidents, polio and even the flu took

countless human lives. With advances in both human and veterinary medicine, many previously devastating diseases are now virtually unheard of due to widespread vaccination. In almost 20 years, I have seen canine distemper only twice in my career--once as a brand-new graduate (my boss at the time had been in practice since the 80’s and even he had never seen a case), and again when I did volunteer work in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. Sadly, many animals in that part of the United States are not vaccinated or on heartworm prevention, so these diseases are much more prevalent than in other parts of the U.S. and Canada. In parts of northern Canada, rabies and distemper are maintained in the wild canine population and can be transmitted to unvaccinated domestic animals. Now, however, the picture is changing. And still, pets do resemble their owners. Not too many years ago, few veterinarians would have seen cases of diabetes in pets. It is now relatively

common in both cats and dogs. Pets and their owners are increasingly being diagnosed and treated for chronic conditions that were much less common a few years ago. Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism), heart, kidney and liver disease, torn cruciate ligaments, allergies and arthritis are diagnosed with increasing regularity. There are many schools of thought as to why this parallel shift is being observed. . . Is it simply because our lives are longer and safer than they have ever been before, so less fatal maladies now have opportunity to take hold? Or is it a reflection of our diet in combination with a more sedentary lifestyle for both us and our animals? Other people speculate that increasing exposure to chemicals, pollution or stress may play a role in development of chronic disease. What can pet owners to to help their pets stay healthy? No surprises here--essentially the same advice your doctor gives you for your own health. Choose nutritious foods that are low in fat, salt, artificial flavors and colors. Limit snacks, maintain a healthy body weight and exercise. Get regular check ups, maintain good oral hygiene and spend quality time socializing with others.The best news of all? Studies show that pet owners who make a concerted effort to help their pets lose weight and become healthier usually improve their own health as well. Now that’s a win-win situation!

Make household drafts a thing of the past (MS) - Outside is below freezing and the heater is working overtime, but throughout the house there are cold, drafty areas. Does this sound familiar? Specialists in the field say any cold or drafty areas within a home are typically caused by air leaks within the building envelope. Air leaks can make rooms uncomfortable and allow the air to escape, forcing heating equipment to work continually to compensate. Whether building a new home or renovating, it may be worthwhile to consider a complete solution that makes household drafts a thing of the past. Modern insulation material can both insulate and air seal in one step. Spray foam insulation seals the entire building envelope and provides a cost-saving option for homeowners looking to reduce energy waste and save on their monthly energy bills. Over the long-term, the savings quickly add up. Modifications to the way you manage your home’s energy consumption leads to significant financial rewards and reassurance. Consulting a professional, such as an inspector, will help make an educated assessment to the actual requirements within the home and where the value lies.

Gravel is affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a variety of colors and is often used in the construction of driveways because it is cheaper than asphalt or concrete and allows moisture to drain away. Keeping gravel in a driveway from washing away in heavy rain is not difficult and will keep your home and yard looking tidy. Dig down an extra 3 or 4 inches along the edge of your driveway. This extra depth will help prevent water from washing your gravel up and over the edge of the driveway and will make installing your edging easier. Lay landscaping fabric or plastic over the entire surface of your driveway, pressing the material into the deeper trenches you dug along the edge. Landscaping fabric will keep weeds from growing and help materials stay in place, so lining your driveway with this will help your gravel stay where it belongs. Trim any long ends away with your knife. Place your edging down in the trenches you dug, securing with a stake at each end. Hammer a stake ¾ of the way into the ground, leaving a small bit exposed to hold your border in place. Repeat this process

until you have lined the entire edge of your driveway surface. Fill your driveway surface with gravel. Most landscape gravel is what is known as pea gravel due to the fact it is approximately the same size and diameter as green peas. Make sure you spread the gravel evenly to provide a solid parking surface for your vehicles. Compact the gravel down with a tamper. A tamper has a long handle and a large, solid bottom that allows you to push the gravel down and even it out, which helps to prevent it from washing away. Use the tamper over the entire length of your driveway, filling in low spots with extra gravel to produce a smooth, even driveway. It is best to work on your driveway when the soil underneath is dry and solid. Laying a driveway on a muddy surface can produce an uneven driveway as the mud dries and hardens. Never use any dirty gravel in your driveway. Many places sell gravel that has been exposed to fuels or oils, which can sicken your pets and children if they happen to come in contact with it.

Prepare now for coming wintery weather

(NC) The fierce winds and fluctuating temperatures of an unpredictable Canadian winter put a strain on every household. There’s little wonder that autumn becomes a frenzy of renovations, upgrades and last-minute projects. However, before any of those changes take place, an equally important step in winter preparation is the completion of any end-of-summer maintenance. Below is your checklist for three key areas of

your home.

Doors and windows • Keep your home’s heating system in good shape and your heating bill down by addressing any leaks and holes that create drafts in your home. • Replace the weatherstripping and caulking where needed around doors and windows as these are key areas for heat loss during the winter months. • For older doors and windows, consider

upgrading to energy efficient options that will create a tighter seal. If you have an older home, a professional can do a blow-test that may be beneficial for helping to identify problem areas. • Run water through your gutters to see if it comes smoothly through the downspouts. Any clogs should be removed before the water backs up and causes damage. Leaks and cracks can be repaired with a fresh bead of caulk. Also, check each piece to make sure it is secured tightly to the building. Pipes • Remove, drain and store all outdoor garden hoses. • Turn off all exterior spigots so that water left in the pipes does not freeze and break the pipes. • Consider replacing spigots with freeze-proof faucets, particularly if your home is older. • Wrap pipes in foam to insulate them.

Colette Vincent of Mayvin Plumbing and Heating shows the Regency Alterra wood stove with its contemporary design and handy fire-wood storage area. This particular wood stove also has an impressive 20 per cent greater viewing area than traditional wood stoves and is designed for visual pleasure and functional convenience.

Machinery • Don’t forget to clean and maintain tools such as lawnmowers and other motorized tools. Some lawnmowers have a new feature on the

hood where you can attach either a garden hose or a pressure-washer so that it will clean the clippings off from underneath the hood. • Take time to ensure that your household is equipped with sufficient shovels and de-icing salt. You will be happy you did it before that first big snowfall.

EXPERTS Learn more from those who have the answers! Dr. Sheila Boehm Chiropractor Q: Could my child or I be getting a sore neck from sleeping in the vehicle? A: My answer is most definitely a yes. We have all been there: on a long road trip, our head is bobbing or we actually try to sleep against the door or headrest. Travelling is one of the hardest things on our necks, for a few reasons: if we are travelling it usually is for more than one car or plane ride and also we are potentially going to sleep in different beds as well. If you have a sensitive neck like mine, one of the best things I have found is to take my own pillow on holidays. Where possible, ask for a different one at your hotel if yours does not seem to be the right fit and also believe your children if they complain about their neck as well. I always think children do not usually complain of discomfort so if they do, try to listen and then have both of you assessed after you return from your holiday. Book your consultation today.

Q: What are some alternatives to GICs? A: It appears that interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable

future. GICs may not provide enough growth/income to meet your needs. There are several options available to the conservative investor depending on your objective: Growth: Consider a conservative mutual fund or segregated funds which are basically a mutual fund with principal and death guarantees. Estate: Consider an “Estate Bond” strategy which provides tax sheltered growth and tax free transfer to heirs or segregated funds that bypass probate upon death. Income: The “Back to Back” strategy produces tax efficient income and guarantees capital to heirs. The new G5/20 provides a principal guarantee and 5% annual income or consider an annuity that pays guaranteed tax efficient income for life. Please call for a free consultation to explore which product/strategy would be right for you. Please read the applicable Fund Fact Sheet before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Mutual fund products are offered through Investia Financial Services Inc. Please read the information folder and annuity contract before investing. Investment values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Segregated fund products are offered through Investia Financial Services Inc. and/or multiple carriers. Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) are offered through Investia Financial Services Inc. and/or multiple carriers.

Q: I accidentally insulted a former friend. Then, he knocked me unconscious. I suffered a concussion and lost my job because I couldn’t concentrate. I want to sue but another friend told me that if I do so, my whole personal life can be brought up in court. Is it true?

A: It’s not entirely true and it’s not entirely false.

The basic rule governing information/document disclosure requirements is that anything relevant to the lawsuit should be disclosed. For example, Rule 7-1(1) of the Supreme Court Civil Rules requires litigants to disclose “all documents that … could … be used by any party of record at trial to prove or disprove a material fact …” Note that the word “document” is given a broad definition. For example, in one case (Ireland v Low, 2006 BCSC 393), Mr. Justice Joyce wrote “I am satisfied that electronic data stored on a computer’s hard drive … [falls] within the definition of ‘document’ under the Rules of Court.” Many lawyers see Facebook and other social media as a treasure trove of information to be used in law cases. There have been many personal injury cases, for example, where photographs posted on Facebook showed a person participating in strenuous physical activities - while claiming that their injuries prevented them from working. In spite of the fact that Facebook postings can be used as evidence, that doesn’t mean that a defendant in a lawsuit can automatically have access to your private Facebook profile. On the other hand, if there is information which is relevant to the lawsuit in your public profile, a judge may order disclosure of the private profile. In a nutshell, disclosure of relevant information is a requirement in court cases but when evaluating the risk to your privacy, don’t overlook the word “relevant.” Article written by Centennial Law Corp.

Yes you can! This is known as an equity take out or a refinance. Adhering to the new mortgage rules, you are allowed to re-mortgage up to 80% to the value of your home. Many Canadians are carrying consumer debt from several sources – credit cards, car loans, personal loans – and are paying much more in interest than they should be. An option that many home owners are turning to is paying off higher interest debts with funds secured through a refinanced mortgage that has a lower interest rate. Some who re-mortgage opt for lower monthly payments which create a larger monthly cash flow. Others opt to shorten the amortization of their mortgage – paying off your mortgage in a shorter amount of time can easily save you several thousand dollars. Most importantly, a well thought-out debt restructuring plan can set you up for financial success, because at the end of the amortization period, your total debt is zero. With revolving credit – such as credit cards and line of credits – you may be paying more in interest without ever attacking the principal. By restructuring your debt load you gain more control over interest costs, leaving you with more money at the end of the month. Call me for advice!

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads. Verdict There is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added.

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.
