Heartfelt expressions of apology mingled with sorrowful tears and poignant memories at a Sept. 30 ceremony held in recognition of the tragic impacts of Indian residential schools.

The Second Annual Orange Shirt Day in 100 Mile House attracted up to 400 adults and students to Lumberman’s Park.

Some were First Nations people who were very likely victims of the terrible experiences that ranged from being wrenched from their families at a tender age to ongoing abuse and neglect.

Others spoke or sang about their sorrow and apologies for the more than 150,000 Aboriginal children who attended these schools in Canada between 1857 and 1996 – at least 4,900 of whom died there.

Campsall and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett were among those who spoke from their heart.

Barnett also brought a message from the provincial government thanking Webstad for her courage in coming forward with her story.

“I say to the young people, do not be afraid to talk to anyone should you have someone do something to you that should never be done. Think of Phyllis when you are afraid; think of her brave courage and the people who ... do love you.

Because each and every one of you matters.”

The younger students in attendance wrapped up the event by colouring around their handprints on poster boards marked “Every Child Matters.”

Then, each of these children added their names to show they understand they can take steps to help others who may be frightened, sad or lonely.

The Louisiana Hayride Tribute Show played to a sold-out crowd at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on Sept. 27, and everyone is raving about the fantastic performances. Gil Risling (aka Willie Nelson), left, joined in the standing ovation for Andrea Anderson whose pure singing brilliance brought Tammy Wynette and Patsy Cline to life on stage.

Lori Risling’s narrative about the original Louisiana Hayride musical variety show and the history of the performers was spellbinding. Louisiana Hayride will be bringing its Christmas special to 100 Mile House on Dec. 13, with an evening performance and a matinee on Dec. 14.

It’s time to end violence Advocates: province’s plan needs localized funding

Carole Rooney Free Press

The Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC) continues to have serious concerns about the growing number of domestic violence deaths in the province, and the lack of investment in programs to help at-risk girls, women and children.

Gail Edinger is the local regional co-ordinator for women’s safety for EVA BC, and she says the South Cariboo, like much of the province, needs more community-based services providing on-the-ground, local advocacy.

“In a small community like 100 Mile House, what we have is a stopping the violence counsellor, in a Safe Home Program [that] is minimally funded.”

This counsellor’s mandate does not include the kind of advocacy necessary for a

She explains more preventive, rather than reactive measures are needed, such as for the wife-mandated counselling for abusive men, “which obviously needs significant support.”

A community-based victims’ services team can address that, as well as other much-needed victims’ services for indigenous women, immigrants and non-status women, she adds.

Edinger says a “very broad-spectrum response” is required to ensure awareness in the medical community, social services and schools, as well as programs so appropriate responses to abuse are made.

“Domestic violence is the core of all social ills in the world ... it starts in the home and children are exposed to it and they learn it and they grow up with it.

“It’s absolutely crucial, and it’s epidemic.”

FAMILIAR CANDIDATE

Former 100 Mile House resident Dorothy Hartshorne, who moved back to Vancouver Island last year, is hoping to return to North Saanich council.

Hartshorne was a North Saanich councillor from 1999 to 2005 before moving to the South Cariboo, where she worked as constituency assistant to Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

Hartshorne will run for mayor against incumbent Alice Finall in the Nov. 15 civic election.

Rural voices take provincial podium

Carole Rooney Free Press

The next stage in a key rural development strategy was announced at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Whistler last week (Sept. 22-26).

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented a Rural B.C. Project report and announced it now has government approval.

She says it is based on years of hard work on the project by her and the members of several rural groups, and will result in an important new committee.

“It’s a rural advisory committee to create a voice for rural B.C.,

“Whatever we do, we have to do it within the [B.C. budget], and keep the budget balanced.

“It is a big task, but the exciting part is my report got accepted by cabinet and [Premier Christy Clark] and we are moving forward.”

In developing the report, Barnett met this spring with the Rural B.C. Working Group, the Rural B.C. Steering Committee (comprised of board members of all three Beetle Action Coalitions) and various government ministers.

Two workshops were organized on identified topics, research and background reports on rural economic development were reviewed, and an inventory of

both provincial and federal government rural supports was prepared.

The efforts of the working group culminated in a set of recommendations that were endorsed by the Rural B.C. Steering Committee in June.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the UBCM Community Economic Development Committee also provided their insight.

The Supporting Rural Development: Creating a Voice for Rural British Columbia document can be found online at www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/ reports.htm. It features images of 100 Mile House and five other rural B.C. towns on its cover page.

Council lines up for re-election

The District of 100 Mile House mayor and councillors all intend to run again as candidates in the Nov. 15 civic elections.

Mayor Mitch Campsall says he will definitely stand as a candidate for another term.

“I genuinely love working for the people of 100 Mile House. I believe in the community.”

Campsall adds he is “very proud” of the work council and staff has done over the past six years to build a “stable, progressive” community.

Continued upgrades to infrastructure, equipment replacement and staff to meet changing needs; council’s ongoing commitment to strong financial stewardship, and to be debt-free by fall 2018 are what he wants to see happen, Campsall explains.

Ensuring the community is well positioned

to absorb the upcoming impacts of timber supply realignment is also important, he explains.

Campsall says the longer four-year term made “no difference whatsoever” to his decision.

Councillor Spence Henderson says he will run again to build on the growing relationships with the Cariboo Regional District and Chamber of Commerce.

“I am very pleased with the direction council and staff are headed in reducing and soon eliminating debt and preparing for opportunities that come our way.”

Noting the Bible passage about owing no man anything except love, Henderson says this would be what he most “hopes to address.”

“Life experiences as a referee and on council show me that there

Following are the board highlights from the District council meeting on Sept. 9: Well rehab The contract for the District of 100 Mile House Well #4 rehabilitation project was awarded to Robbins Drilling of Okanagan Falls for $59,700.

It was the lowest of two tenders submitted, with the other at $73,270 (JR Drilling of Cranbrook). While these companies also submitted tenders for optional chemical treatment, at $30,000 and $30,578 respectively, those are intended as fodder for future budget consideration only, so will not be awarded at this time.

Two other companies solicited for the project were too busy to submit tenders. The work was slated to begin the week of Sept. 22.

More bylaw amendments Council gave third reading to its Indemnification Bylaw #1266 and Tax Exemption Bylaw #1269 at the meeting.

These all involve changes to the District’s procedures under the Local Government Act and the Community Charter. At the same meeting, council also adopted its updated Consolidated Policy and Procedures Manual.

are at least two sides to every story and both sides are convinced they’re absolutely right.

My goal would be to love and help the people of the South Cariboo by being open to finding and doing the truth that is most often somewhere in

between.”

Coun. Ralph Fossum says he has decided to run again for several key reasons.

“I love 100 Mile House. I have considerable experience, and I believe I know the community; and I have time to more than do the job.”

Fossum explains he seeks to address balance – financially, economically and socially – and to communicate with the business community.

His plans also include continuing to move forward with the AgeFriendly initiative, he adds.

He says the new four-year term seems appropriate for senior

government positions, but it is a challenge for councillors who are “primarily volunteers.”

“Our stipend works out to about minimum wage for senior input/ output. Those of us who choose public life do have other attractive choices ... and some of us are getting older.”

Councillor Bill Hadden says he had to think “very hard” on continuing on District council before deciding he will run again this November.

“Mainly, the four-year term was a factor – it is a long time to commit to.

“Having said that, six years ago the council I was first elected to set a goal of paying down our debt in 10 years. The district is close to doing that.

“We have been a fiscally conservative group, and I would like to see that continue.”

Councillor Dave Mingo is enthusiastic to continue in the role and will run to hold his seat.

“I enjoy serving our community; therefore, I have decided to seek re-election as councillor.

I will use my experience to continue for the betterment of 100 Mile House.”

He also points to council’s fiscal responsibility efforts as one of his key priorities.

“We plan on having the District of 100 Mile House debt free by 2018. This will allow us to continue to keep our tax rates low, and low tax rates encourage economic growth.”

This also leaves the municipality in a strong economic position for future infrastructure and other community needs, Mingo adds.

“I look forward to the new four-year term.

This allows for continuity and stability for local governments.”

Doctors looking for changes ily doctor has access to one, to strengthen relationships between doctors and patients, and to increase the capacity of the primary health-care system.

It was noted 30 per cent of the population in B.C. doesn’t have a family doctor and CIRDFP wants to know if it’s by choice or for some other reasons.

Currently in its assessment and planning stage, doctors have surveyed patients and the CIRDFP has held meetings with medical professionals, office assistants, community partners (pharmacists, Interior Health, etc.) and First Nations. Public engagement is the final piece (including an online survey that has ended).

In October, CIRDFP will pull all of the data and possible implementation plans along with relevant information from Interior Health and come up with themes that cover key

Ken Alexander Free Press

Ten people showed up at Horton Ventures in 100 Mile House on Sept. 25 to give their input on the future of health care in the South Cariboo.

The community engagement session’s goal was to receive information for a new project, called A GP for Me, which is a joint project between the provincial government and Doctors of BC, formerly the British Columbia Medical Association.

This session was hosted by the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) - a group of doctors in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Tatla Lake – who want to improve the delivery of health care in their local communities.

Their goal is to make sure everyone who wants a fam-

areas that need work or provide opportunities.

From there, the advisory committee, which includes Dr. Bruce Nicolson of 100 Mile House, will look at the themes and decide, which would be manageable, so an implementation plan can be put together to address the issues which is expected to be 80 per cent completed by December.

The plan is expected to be submitted in February 2015, which will allow CIRDFP to start running the programs in March 2015.

To be approved for funding, the plan has to be run for a year and it has to be in line with the Physicians Master Agreement.

That will allow the programs to run for a year to see how well they work, and help determine how much funding will be allowed for them.

Physician access discussed

Folks who gathered at the A GP for Me community engagement session in 100 Mile House on Sept. 25, told organizers about their concerns regarding access to a family doctor.

Folks who had family doctors said they were becoming busier and had to make appointments up to a week or more in advance.

Some added they go to walk-in clinics unless they are “really sick” and then they go to their family doctors.

100 Mile House physician, Dr. Bruce Nicolson, noted it is important people don’t rely on walk-in clinics for all medical help

because family doctors have the full medical history of their patients.

If they have a serious ailment or need a procedure, he added they will have to go to their general practitioners because walk-in clinics are not equipped to do follow-up sessions.

One woman said she hasn’t been able to get family doctors for the challenged adults she works with, and they are forced to go to either the walk-in clinics or the hospital for their medical needs.

It was also noted a lot of expectant women were going to Williams Lake for perinatal care.

Everyone agreed that lack of transportation is

the biggest hurdle for people getting to their family doctors.

This is even more difficult for the folks living out in the surrounding communities because it is more time consuming for family and friends to bring people into 100 Mile House doctor appointments, testing and treatment.

One participant offered a possible solution.

Konrad SchmidMeil suggested renting out office space in 100 Mile House and hosting doctors, nurses and specialists would solve the problem of people having to travel to Kamloops for consultations and procedures.

Here are a few things to keep in mind: Judy Simkins Franchise President, • An RRSP is used to save for retirement, 100 Mile House while a TFSA can be used for both retirement savings and other shorter-term needs • If you’re in a low tax bracket, a TFSA may be more advantageous than an RRSP since TFSA withdrawals have no impact on federal income-tested benefits and tax credits (child tax benefits and Old Age Security) • If you’re in a high tax bracket, you could consider holding both, especially if you have maximized your RRSP contributions Please read the applicable Fund Fact Sheet before investing.

Once the audit work is completed, a report will be prepared, and any party that may be adversely affected by the audit findings will have a chance to respond.

The board’s final report and recommendations will then be released to the public and government.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.

The Forest Practices Board is currently auditing four Range Act agreements and a First Nations woodland licence – operated by the Canim Lake Band – in the 100 Mile House resource district.

The audit started on Sept. 29 and is expected to be completed by Oct. 6.

Auditors will look at three grazing licences and one hay-cutting licence for compliance with the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA).

In addition, Canim Lake Band’s Kenkeknem Forest Tenures Ltd.’s woodland licence will be audited for operational planning, harvesting, roads, silviculture and protection practices under FRPA and the Wildfire Act. Kenkeknem’s licence is one of only two First Nations woodland licences in the province, and is the first such licence to be audited by the board, and is part of the board’s normal auditing program.

The audit area is located about 30 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House, with Canim

Domestic violence taking its toll

S

o far this year, British Columbia has stood witness to a brutal outbreak of domestic violence murders, attempted murders and suicides that have left 20 people dead, just since January.

Among the deceased are 13 women, six men and one child. All the women and the child were victims of senseless homicides, and among the men, five committed suicide after killing their spouses and one was a new boyfriend killed by an ex-spouse.

Another 11 people were seriously injured and hundreds of family, friends and co-workers are left devastated by the loss of someone they loved.

Domestic violence deaths alone though don’t tell the whole story. With every death, there are thousands more women living right now in B.C. trying to cope and find ways to maintain their safety in a province

hen Premier Christy Clark travelled to the Nemiah Valley in the Chilcotin to meet with the leaders of the Tsilhqot’in people on Sept. 10, it marked the second historical event for the First Nation in the past four months.

The Sept. 10 visit was the first time a B.C. premier has met with a First Nation on its traditional land.

It was also the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in British Columbia.

Clark signed a Letter of Understanding (LOU) with the Tsilhqot’in people showing the government’s commitment to work together with the First Nation to achieve a “just and lasting reconciliation” and setting the stage for long-term negotiations.

Discussion focused on the first historic achievement for the Tsilhqot’in – the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in June stating the First Nation had Aboriginal title to its traditional territory.

The premier said the Supreme Court of Canada had provided the province with clarity, direction, and a profound opportunity to build a more positive relationship between the province and the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

“The way forward starts with a renewed and strengthened vision of First Nations as partners in the economic, political and social future of this province.”

The LOU outlines the steps that need to be taken to achieve this common goal between the province and the Tsilhqot’in people.

It has been a long journey for the Tsilhqot’in to achieve Aboriginal title to their land, starting with the Chilcotin War in 1864/65 when the First Nation’s chiefs were hung for attempting to stop nonAboriginals from crossing their lands to get to the gold fields in the Cariboo.

On Sept. 11, First Nations leaders from across the province met with cabinet members.

They said the Supreme Court decision established a new reality and legal landscape for our transformed relationship.

It’s clear the Aboriginal people of the province believe they deserve to be equal partners with the Crown in the development of B.C. They also believe it is time to start down the path to making this partnership a productive reality.

We can only hope Premier Clark and her B.C Liberal government are up to the task, and this isn’t a political Band Aid. All British Columbians will have to show the patience, understanding and resolve to carve out this new partnership.

“We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.”

billions, for police, health and education over the last 10 years, but increases to anti-violence services have been close to zero. We need to understand that both lives and money are saved when early intervention programs like community victim assistance, outreach and counselling are in place.

Numerous reports have identified that these services save lives and save tax payers billions of dollars by intervening before violence becomes deadly and much more costly.

The premier has been calling for a violence-free B.C. and we support this call.

However, we cannot do this without money. Policy alone doesn’t save lives; people and services save lives.

Economic development important To the editor: Why does the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) now think economic development is important?

There must be an election in the air!

So where has the economic development plan been for the past decade in the Cariboo?

Voters should ask their returning candidates this question in the upcoming election.

The CRD does not have a regional or sub-regional development strategy for the unincorporated areas and many official community plans are outdated. There are busi-

nesses closing; fewer children in our schools; young people have to move away to find jobs and there is no new industry or development.

Why? Next time you hear of another subdivision or development proposal that has been rejected by the CRD ask yourself: would that new piece of property for sale or new investment brought a new family or possibly a new business to our area? And how much did that decision cost me in lost tax revenues for our community?

If we don’t grow in a sensible and sustainable manner, our property taxes will go

Justice Griffin’s decision bizarre

To the editor: Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin’s findings that removing legislation that regulates class size and composition from the British Columbia teachers collective agreement is a violation of the teachers basic human rights of freedom of association is nothing less than bizarre.

The government is the employer, not the union, and it will always be the employer’s prerogative and responsibility to determine job descriptions, class sizes and composition, and the amount of money required to deliver public education.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s (BCTF) claim that collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity is equally bizarre, but not surprising.

Governments write all legislation for,

T

and on behalf of the people, and expired collective agreements only serve as templates in future contract negotiations.

The only mandate the courts have is to defend that legislation whenever it is being challenged.

If our judges so desperately want to write our laws, they should put their names on the ballot and ask the people for a mandate to represent them in the legislatures. The courts have only one role to play in the B.C. teachers’ relationship with the union, and that is simply to enforce the teacher’s basic human rights to freedom of association, and ban mandatory membership in the union.

Governments, the courts and unions do not change our human rights.

through the roof because government operations increase.

How many times have you heard of a government lowering your taxes, or at best, not increasing them? New residents and development brings new tax revenues – simple math.

When will our elected officials understand we can’t afford “sleepy” communities?

We need to welcome new people and growth, or it won’t be balanced as we will have to pay more taxes for less.

New people bring “tax revenues” for all three levels of government and we have to

grow in a balanced manner, so all levels of government have new revenues to offset the growing expenses for services that governments provide and we all expect – yes, three levels of government and one taxpayer.

Recent comments by the CRD chair about looking to the provincial government for a new taxation model usually ends up being you and me because it is that 3:1 taxation ratio that hits us all in our pocket.

70 Mile Residents worried

To the editor: I have been a resident of 70 Mile House for many years and live in the 71 Mile subdivision.

I am very concerned about the speed limit on this section of the highway between the North Bonaparte Road at the 70 Mile General Store and past the Sugar Shack.

I worked at the 70 Mile Store for many years and have seen many close calls with people trying to turn off.

I have had some close calls myself trying to turn at Maple Road and Willow Drive. I have my turn signal light on and people will not slow down but pull out on the gravel shoulder and then give you the finger on the way by.

There is no reason why the speed limit shouldn’t be lowered to 70 kilometres an hour through

the residential area of 70 Mile.

We have tried many times over the years to get the speed limit reduced, but the Ministry of Transportation just ignores us.

As a concerned citizen, I hope

something is done soon about the matter before someone really does get hurt – or worse.

Education bucks instead of leaky roof To the editor: There would be more money to spend on public education if the B.C. Liberals hadn’t spent $563 million on a fancy new roof for BC Place stadium in Vancouver.

Apparently it is leaking again.

he big story at this year’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. Liberal government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.

When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume.

Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.

No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.

So, there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Just after midnight , the Prince George RCMP were called to Richet Street for a report of a black bear cub trapped in an enclosed porch of a residence on the street. Officers arrived and found a large trapped cub as well as the mother and two other cubs close by.

A police truck was driven up close to the porch.

An officer got out, opened the door to the porch and returned back to the truck.

The cub was able to get out and reunite with its mother and siblings.

The Prince George RCMP would like to remind residents to secure garbage and other sources of food, as bears are actively searching for food before winter.

Screw found in cereal box FERNIE -An Elk Valley resident found an interesting surprise in her son’s cereal on Saturday (Sept.

The box of Froot Loops cereal came from the Overwaitea in Sparwood and was brought there immediately for inspection.

Manager Ryan Ogden took care of the matter promptly.

“We take these matters very seriously and I took preventative measures with this incident,” said Ogden.

Ogden said that the lot code on the box, which indicates what batch number it was made from, was compared to the boxes that were currently on the shelf to ensure that no more of that product would go out to the public.

According to the resident, who posted on Facebook’s Elk Valley Garage Sale page, Ogden provided her with a $25 gift card and contact was made at the Kellogg’s head office.

Fire claims South Green Lake residence

Ken Alexander Free Press

Twelve members of the South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department were jerked from their sleep by their pagers at 2 a.m. on Sept. 27 to respond to a residential structural fire.

“When we arrived, flames were shooting 40 feet in the air, the building was fully engaged, the sky was red and it was hot,” fire chief Peter McKie says, adding no one was home at the seasonal recreational residence.

The firefighters responded with two pumpers and a tender.

They battled the blaze for five hours to extin-

It took about five hours for 12 members of the South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department to extinguish the flames of a structural fire at 868 Green Lake Rd. South on Sept. 27. The building was fully engulfed, with flames shooting 40 feet in the air when firefighters arrived around 2:30 a.m.

guish the flames, which were limited to the main building.

All other structures on the property were

undamaged, McKie notes.

During the five-hour standoff, firefighters poured 8,400 gallons of

water on the structure with the tender making six trips to the nearest accessible access road, and 1,700 gallons from

the pumper trucks.

McKie says the fire presented some problems.

“The residence was constructed of vertical log poles, so it was challenging get water into it. We had to cut holes with our chainsaws to gain access to the lower reaches.

“Due to it being a log structure, we had to return to the site several times during the day to extinguish several flareups.”

Three firefighters were back at the site at 10 a.m. and then again at 1 p.m. to put out hot spots.

Then they were back at 3:45 p.m. on Sept. 28.

“Fortunately, no one was hurt during the fire.”

The damage to the fence and gate was severe and likely would have caused damage to the vehicle. The person responsible left the scene without notifying the homeowner.

There is no description of the vehicle involved. It is believed it was likely a small passenger car.

Telephone fraud artists at it again

Canim Lake resident warns about slick scam underway

Canim Lake resident Tryphenia Belli says she wants to warn area residents, especially seniors, about slick telephone scammers who may be trying to steal money for other folks in the South Cariboo.

Belli says she has been phoned several times by the same man, who gave an identification number, his name

and a phone number.

“At first he told me he has been a Gideon for a number of years; he may be Jamaican.

He was very good; I played along until I found out how much money it was going to cost me.”

Belli says she was told to send $275.70 because she was a thirdplace runner-up for more than $500,000 in a random draw from a supermarket or pharmacy.

“He is going to call me back to tell me where to send the money.

People have to remember that if you win something, they don’t charge you anything.”

Noting she phoned the RCMP, Belli says she was told scam art-

Calling all gardeners

The first gleaning project in 2013 by the South Cariboo Food Security Committee (SCFSC) was a great success thanks to the generosity of Paul and Cindy Whitehead.

More than 500 pounds of potatoes, beets, carrots and cabbage were gleaned and then distributed to South Cariboo children and families in need

during the fall and winter months, says SCFSC chair Lisa De Paoli.

This year, the SCFSC would like to surpass its success last year and harvest 1,000 pounds of surplus vegetables and fruit, which will be redistributed to families in need in the South Cariboo.

The SCFSC has access to a

local root cellar, so the produce can be kept throughout the winter, De Paoli adds.

“If you have vegetables or fruit that you are not able to harvest, please call Debbra Williams at 250-395-5155.

The South Cariboo Food Security Committee is so thankful for the generosity of our community.”

Council plows into winter road needs

Carole Rooney Free Press

Scott notes the 25-year-old plows are roughly five years beyond their useful life.

“The guys have

actually done a good job keeping them on the road at minimal cost in past years. It’s time to retire them.”

The District of 100 Mile House is in the process of replacing two older snowplow trucks at a total projected cost of $320,000.

District chief administrative officer Roy Scott says this equipment replacement was previously identified in long-term capital planning submissions and would have been on the 2015 capital plan.

However, administration told council after recent inspections of two snowplow units, both 1990 models, are no longer roadworthy and would require extensive repairs to be re-certified, he explains.

“Both units are critical pieces of equipment for annual snow clearing activities ... the decision was made to not put any more money into rehabilitation to make the units roadworthy.”

At its Sept. 9 meeting, councillors concurred with the staff ’s opinion that both units must be replaced in time for the 2014/15 winter season.

Budget amendments of $210,000 and $110,000 were approved.

Scott explains funding for equipment replacement was established in prior years, so there is

“zero direct impact on tax rates” to purchase them. They are posted on BC Bid with a MidOctober delivery date.

The Interlakes Snowmobile Club (ISC) is welcoming new members and inviting anyone interested in a good time in the winter to check out its blog at http://ilsnowmobileclub.blogspot. ca, or its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ ilsnowmobileclub.

Folks without Internet service can call Jeanne McCartney at 250-395-3557.

“We are a group of sledders who get together for a good time,” says the club’s social committee director.

“We have a wide spectrum of ages from 20 to 78 years. We have many trails, which often lead up into the mountains where we have vast areas to play in.”

The ISC usually has two rides a week, with one on the weekend and one on a weekday and sometimes spontaneous rides depending on weather.

There are safety regulations which include: no alcohol on rides; an approved helmet must be worn; no passing on trails when the group is moving; and changes in the lineup are made during a stop time. When a destination is reached, McCartney says everyone goes their own way with an established spot where the sledders will regroup after play time.

All snowmobiles are required to have third party liability on their sleds before going on a club ride.

“Our motto is any member on a ride will get where the group is going. Everyone helps when we have a stuck rider.”

Anyone who is interested in joining the club is welcome to drop in to our first meeting of the season at 6169 Lone Butte-Horse Lake Rd. on Oct. 8, starting at 7 p.m. For directions and more information call McCartney at 250-395-3557, or Marcel DeRepentigny at 250-395-5363.

If people live in (or near) 100 Mile House, but are unable to attend the scheduled group meeting, Lion may be able to arrange a home (or other community location) visit with

Birch Ave.

Time for sledders to prepare for winter play

with MS, family member or close friend of a person with MS – health-care professional working with people with MS – is welcome to attend this outreach session.

Leaders and rookies stepping up Gaven Crites

Wranglers expect a 'real good test' against Kamloops on Friday

Free Press

Quinn Ferris wore the cowboy hat after a 4-2 win over the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sept. 27.

The 100 Mile House Wranglers goalie got the honour, chosen by the players after each game, having stopped 18 shots in what coach Dale Hladun called a huge “bounce back” game for the young net minder following a shaky performance earlier in the season.

“He was important to the victory,” Hladun says. “And our players have a lot of confidence in him. That's important for everyone all around.”

Getting the cowboy hat, the coach adds, that's “a sign of respect right there.”

The Wranglers were up 3-0 in front of the 452 in attendance at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre with goals by Austin Turner, Stephen Egan and Brady Ward, before Revelstoke (4-21) scored with one second left in the second period and then again at the 10:50 mark of the third.

However, new roster

Gaven Crites photo

Wranglers forward Michael Lynch, skating against Revelstoke at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Sept. 27, says there's more leadership on the ice and in the dressing room this season.

addition Brett Harris, from Michael Lynch and Tavis Roch, netted the insurance goal seconds later.

Justin Bond, Cooper Holick and Liam Cumberbirch also earned assists for 100 Mile House (4-2).

Lynch won the home team's star of the game.

A big difference this season is there's more leadership in the dressing room and on the ice, says Lynch, an assistant captain who was part of the team's inaugural run last season.

“I think the boys are doing a real good job,” he says. “We have some good returning players

and some new rookies that are holding their own out there.”

On Sept. 26, the Osoyoos Coyotes (7-0), which look like a powerhouse club early this season, beat 100 Mile House 4-1.

Defenceman Nick Headrick was named the Wranglers star of

the game, while Luc Gradisar, who notched a hat trick, was the star for Osoyoos.

Gradisar potted three goals – two in the first and one in the second period – and Colin Bell added another for Osoyoos before 100 Mile House's Devan Suidy, from Cole

Zimmerman, found the back of the net to break the shutout late in the third period.

Kristian Stead made 28 saves for 100 Mile House.

The Wranglers host Doug Birks Division rival Kamloops Storm (3-3-0-1) on Oct. 3, while the Princeton Posse (2-2-1-1) are in town on Oct. 10. The Wranglers hit the road and play the Sicamous Eagles (4-4) on Oct. 11.

The Storm rolling into town is “a real good test” for the local Junior B club, says coach Hladun.

“As good as Revelstoke has come out of the gate, I think it will be Kamloops we have to face to be first in this division. They're experienced. They're going to have a good power play, they're wellcoached, and they know how to win.”

The Storm blew the Wranglers out of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs in four games in round two last season.

Lynch says he knowns Kamloops is a good team, but he'll approach that game like he does any other – “and just give 'er.”

Wranglers add veterans to lineup The 100 Mile House Wranglers have upgraded their roster.

Coach Dale Hladun announced the addition of three veteran talents recently – Cooper Holick, Nick McCabe and local skater Brett Harris.

Harris played Junior A last season in Saskatchewan with the Nipawin Hawks, and has Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) experience with the Summerland Steam, notching 43 points in 49 games in 2012-13.

Harris, 19, was on the trade block in Saskatchewan. When no opportunities came up, he asked for his release. The forward says he's excited to play competitive hockey in his hometown.

“I've only heard good things about 100 Mile and the fan support it gets,” Harris says. “It looks like the team is

pretty strong this year. Hopefully we can do something with that.”

Holick, 18, a two-year KIJHL veteran with Summerland, is described by coach Hladun as a “hard-nosed two-way forward.”

He earned 103 penalty minutes in 44 games last season.

“Cooper is an affable young man and will fit in well with our team and our community."

McCabe, 17, is a big and tall forward and a third-year player from Lillooet. He comes to the Wranglers via the Golden Rockets.

He scored seven goals and eight assists with the Rockets in 2013-14.

“I am confident Nick will have the fans on their feet more than a few times this season," Hladun says.

"Nick is a strong skater and a great playmaker.”

Teams break ice A local atom team opened the season with what must have felt like a hockey marathon in 100 Mile House on Sept. 27, while peewee, bantam and midget clubs laced up for Ice Breaker tournaments in rinks out of town.

The atom Wranglers played four games in one day, two each against Quesnel and Williams Lake.

“It was tough,” says coach Jamie Sanders.

“The kids did well though. All of them. All the teams had to play four games.”

Kyson Hopson led the team with a whopping 12 goals. Other tallies were netted by Reichert Sanford (1), Kyle Sanford (3), Jacob Henderson (1), Easton Mills (1) and Jackson Hooper (1). Assists went to J. Hooper (2), Riley Campbell (1), Daniel Villeneuve (1) and K Sanford (2).

The atoms rotated goalies throughout the games, and coach Sanders mentions Nolan Duff as a standout at that position.

“We had a few kids who had a real good weekend,” the coach says. “They skated their hearts out.”

Win or lose, he adds, the smiles on their faces is what the game is all about.

The 100 Mile House Primal Electric Milers Peewee Rep team played in Quesnel.

The team had a short bench – only eight skaters – for the first game against Quesnel, but

played well in an 8-1 loss, explains manager Cale Tessaro.

Owen Pincott found the back of the net with assists to Nate Wolstenholme and Ethan Saunders. Ryan Balbirnie was strong in net facing 64 shots.

Against Vanderhoof, 100 Mile House “came out with all guns blazing” and jumped out to a 5-1 lead after the first period, Tessaro says. 100 Mile ran out of gas unfortunately by the the end of the game and were on the losing end of a 9-8 score.

Pincott notched two goals and five assists, while Cole Allen added two goals and two assists, Ethan Saunders one goal and three assists, and Marshall Tessaro earned three assists.

Against Prince George, 100 Mile started slow but finished fast.

Prince George jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, but 100 Mile fired back with 13 unanswered goals and won 19-4.

The line of Pincott, Saunders and Wolstenholme combined for 26 points.

M. Tessaro added two goals and four assists; Colton Sanford had three assists, Colby McCullough netted one goal and two assists; Robert Waldner had one goal and two assists, and Colby Glen chipped in with a pair of assists.

Balbirnie was strong in net.

Beautiful game wraps up season

Full-time has been called on the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association's fall season.

Local players from U6 to U12 were the last to kick it on Sept. 27, while younger and older players wrapped-up their respective seasons shortly before that.

Numbers were slightly sporadic with the school strike and start of hockey in the mix, but all in all the September season was a success, especially with the great weather, says organizer Lianne Heales.

“We're very lucky because we started the season in snow,” she says with a laugh looking back to May when there was, in fact, a layer of snow on the field and players wore jackets instead of jerseys. “Our fall is beautiful.”

Knights of Columbus volunteers served lunch on Sept. 27 and Tim Hortons provided coffee and hot chocolate.

Heales also highlighted the hard work put in by coaches and referees.

“They're totally the all-stars,” she says of the officials. “If you don't have a ref, you don't have a game. They have the training. They do a great job.”

She adds the association is in need of higher level referees – teenag-

ers – for next season.

The association is also putting a call out to parents as it looks to fill organizational positions.

Planning has also begun for an organizing group and local teams for the U13-U15 Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup, when a couple dozen teams from around the province are expected to compete in 100 Mile House in July 2015.

Considering the financial cost and time involved with playing organized sports, Heales says it's awesome the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association has close to 400 registered players.

“There are a lot of kids out here,” she says.

“We appreciate it when families are involved.”

Love Letters, from 100 Mile House

Gaven Crites Free Press

This time around, the 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society is all about the drama.

A performance of Love Letters, an emotional twoperson play, is set for Oct. 16-18 at Martin Exeter Hall.

The play, by American writer A. R. Gurney, revolves around two characters – played by local actors Renee LaRochelle and Chris Adams – sitting side-by-side at a table, going over notes, letters and cards written throughout their lives.

The dramatic production is a departure from the comedic route the local theatre group took last year.

Director Marie Hooper says the play is a good one for a quick fall production because it requires only a

cast of two and not a lot of rehearsal time – because the actors are reading from letters on stage.

Adams, who played an overweight jockey, and LaRochelle, who played a neurotic psychiatrist, were

hilarious in the group’s last production, Office Hours, a comedy by Canadian playwright Norm Foster.

They should be great in their dramatic roles, too, Hooper says.

“We had the first read through the other day and it was amazing. There’s really no stage movement. They sit at a desk and read.

“There’s no musical number, there’s no dances. So, you have to have really good actors who can move you with just their voices. I believe those two are very capable of doing that.”

Love Letters is the first of three productions the Performing Arts Society is hoping to do in the coming months. Another comedy and murder mystery are slated in the future.

“It’s nice the society is branching out into all aspects of theatrical productions,” Hooper says.

“I’m hoping very much there’s a core group of people

Eight fire departments in the South Cariboo – 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch, Lac la Hache, Forest Grove, Deka Lake, the Interlakes, Watch Lake/North Green Lake and Lone Butte – combined efforts and financial contributions to invest in a local Structural Protection Unit (SPU).

It was a project that had been “in the works” for the past 10 years.

This sprinkler unit has found its permanent home at the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department, but is accessible to each and every fire department throughout the area.

This is still a work in progress with further equipment added every year and a second unit may well be set up in the future.

100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club president Tom Bachynski, left, and promotions director Bill Harris got things going at the auction, following dinner after the Wranglers inaugural Golf Scramble on Sept. 20. They raised around $4,500 for the Wranglers Alumni Fund to help former Wranglers with career development.

CANIM LAKE Peter Hart 250 397-2645

Dear Canimites, A gentle rain falls as I write this, after a string of bright blue days, yellow leaves underfoot and raining down with every gust of wind.

Restless geese assemble and quick juncos flit through the trees, pointed south.

Jean Reynolds

Au revoir, Jean Over 200 people gathered in Forest Grove to remember Jean Reynolds who passed away recently.

Jean moved to Canim Lake in 1972 with husband, Don, and two wee children, Barbara Jean (BJ) and Gordon. She helped operate the lodge (Reynolds Resort) they had purchased, taught kindergarten in Forest Grove, and raised the children in the closeknit Canim community of the day.

Margo Wagner organized and MC’d the event. Jean’s friend Joyce Bradshaw shared stories

about their early days at Canim and subsequent adventures.

She was “game for anything,” said Joyce. “It was a privilege to be her friend.”

Marion Thorne and Tedha Babuin taught with Jean and shared their memories of the care and kindness with which she treated people “whether nine or 90.” “All you really need to know (in life), you learned there in kindergarten,” Tedha said.

Colin Nivison, who often passed by the lodge, spoke of Jean’s unremitting hospitality,

PINKNEY COMPLEX, HORSE LAKE RD.

Visit Us On The Web:

www.100milefreepress.net

Family, friends gathered together to remember Jean Reynolds

her habit of remembering birthdays, and the New Year’s dinners that became a treasured part of life.

Anna Frank from the Canim Lake Band spoke of the care and sensitivity with which Jean taught her son, and of Jean’s respect for the dignity and needs of all the First Nations children. Later Elizabeth Pete and Marcella McGrath gave the gift of two songs with the drum, to comfort Don and to “ask the Creator to take her by the hand.”

Heather Van Osch read a story and recited a poem she had written for Jean, her “second mom.”

Gordon and BJ also shared stories and personal insights into their mom. BJ said “she taught me to be at peace; we were just enjoying our time together.”

Everyone stood to pray the Our Father together, and then retired to enjoy a feast laid out by the good women of the Canim Lake Community Club.

Jean Reynolds, a woman who enriched others in life, and in her manner of leaving it.

That’s all for now.

Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Ask an Expert: How can I save money on my heat bill Furnace DIY: Check furnace filters once a month for lint buildup, and clean or replace them every three months. Clogged with dirt and dust, they can be an energy suck and won’t last as long. Regardless of age or quality, a furnace should undergo a checkup every two years (or annually, for an oil system) to prevent expensive breakdowns and maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.

Big fix: Pellet stoves heat up large spaces by burning sticks of compressed sawdust and scrap wood. They take more maintenance than gas or oil stoves but allow you to turn the thermostat down, or even off, if you’re spending a lot of time in one part of the house.

Thermostat DIY: Setting your thermostat back by 4°C to 6°C for eight hours each day can shave up to 15 per cent off your heating bill. The Canadian Centre for Housing Technology finds it most efficient to keep your home at 22°C when you’re at home in the daytime and at 16°C to 18°C otherwise. Contrary to popular belief, your furnace won’t work extra hard to bring temperatures back up.

Big fix: Try a thermostat with a brain: some will track your daily home-and-away habits, set the temperature accordingly and are programmable using your smartphone. (One, called the Nest, is even designed by the minds behind your favourite Apple products.)

Sold artwork benefited Get your chance to stock up local health care on loads of free groceries More than $1,600 raised at Studio 2 Studio Art Tour at 108 Mile Ranch

Local artists received some exposure while supporting local health care at a recent event organized by the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF).

The Second Annual Studio 2 Studio Art Tour at 108 Mile Ranch saw more than 50 visitors and raised more than $1,600 on Sept. 13.

The self-guided tour had 10 artists participate at eight locations, where a variety of artwork was on display, and sold, inside artists’ homes. Twenty-five per cent of the sales went to the SCHF, which raises money for local healthcare facilities.

“It was a beautiful day,” says SCHF public relations co-ordinator Brenda Devine.

“The artists sold quite a bit of their artwork.

That was a big plus because a few of them who did it last year didn’t sell, and this year they did. They were pretty happy.”

The organization is already thinking about bringing the Art Tour back next year, Devine adds.

“We like to keep making people aware we’re out there and the community does support us with these events. It all goes to a good cause; that’s the big thing.”

Gloria Friesen opened her home on Tatton Station Road so visitors could view her abstract photography work during the 108 Mile Studio 2 Studio Art Tour in support of the South Cariboo Health Foundation on Sept. 13.

The Second Annual FiveMinute $500 Shopping Spree Raffle is being held until Nov. 26 by the South Cariboo Lioness.

Local Lioness director Carolyn Charlton notes that with the success of last year’s fundraiser and the co-operation of Save-On-Foods, the club is happy to host another shopping spree and raffle.

“It was very successful for a first venture out. We were delighted.”

The first-prize winner will have five minutes to grab as

many groceries and household products as possible within a five-minute period, to a total of $500 (but meat is restricted to $100 value, and certain other exceptions apply).

She notes if the winner isn’t physically able to make the shopping run through the store, he or she may assign someone else to do the spree.

Lioness members will be selling tickets for $5 each at Cariboo Mall and at Save-OnFoods off and on until the draw day on Nov. 26.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

MEDA Dan

“The life and death of each of us has its influence on others” Dan Meda passed away in Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Vernon, B.C., on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014 at the age of 80 years.

Dan was born in rural Saskatchewan in March 1934, the third oldest of 10 children. The growing Meda family relocated to the Lower Mainland, then to Vernon, B.C. At the age of 20 Dan was married, and moved to Lac la Hache to start raising his own family. His work in the logging industry eventually took him to Prince George. Retirement from owner/operator of a logging truck saw Dan return to Lac la Hache, where he lived at Kokanee Bay for the last 17 years. Returning to Lac la Hache, allowed Dan to fully enjoy fishing, hunting, his raspberry patch and the Hollyhocks growing outside his bedroom window.

Dan leaves to mourn: his three daughters: Rubyanne Meda of Revelstoke, Diane Meda (Dan) of Cherryville, Jacki (Adrien) Charest of Lavington; and his son Wayne Meda of Prince George; his stepson, Doug (Sharon) Bryce of Prince George; his grandchildren: Jason (Bev) and great-grand daughter Sophia Charest of Lumby; Coralee Charest and great-grandchildren Colten and Kristi of Prince George and Kevin Meda of Cherryville; his step granddaughters: Haylea, Brett and Amber Bryce of Prince George; his four sisters: Olga, Joan, Pat, and Iris; his three brothers: Bill, Jim, Jack and their families; plus nieces, nephews, cousins; and his special companion Jeannine LeBlanc (and her family) of Williams Lake.

A celebration of life will take place around the Father’s Day weekend and annual fishing derby at Kokanee Bay in Lac la Hache, B.C. in June 2015.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, 4303 P.V. Road, Vernon, B.C. V1T 4M4 Phone: 250-542-4333.

On line condolences may be sent through Dan’s tribute page at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

The memory of a good person is a blessing.

Proverb 10:7 See this weekend’s Cariboo Connector for more!

The second prize is a $100 gift card donated by Save-OnFoods, and third prize is a $30 gift card donated by Whimsey Gifts.

This time they are providing more advance notice and a longer period for folks to have a chance to win, Charlton adds.

All the money raised will benefit the community, such as through the Lioness’ typical donations to the local hospital, BC Children’s Hospital, and local scholarships and lunch programs.

Workshop scheduled

The second Non-profit Board Governance workshop in 100 Mile House will be held in the community room of Horton Ventures, 808 Alpine Ave., in 100 Mile House on Oct. 11.

The first workshop was held at the Valley Room in 100 Mile House on March 29, when more than 40 people from different non-profit boards and organizations across the Cariboo and as far away as Burns Lake came together to learn about running non-profit boards.

As is the case this time, the event was hosted by the AgriCulture Enterprise Centre, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC), Central Interior Regional Arts Council, South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce

and BC Board Voice.

Graham Kelsey gave his presentation – Governance Basics-Statutory and Functional Requirements, Polic y Development – and running effective and efficient meetings.

He provided many resources that the participants could implement at their next board meeting.

In the afternoon, the group spent some time discussing opportunities to work together to improve the health and wellness of residents in the South Cariboo.

Common problems were identified, including fundraising and recruiting volunteers and opportunities including sharing resources, learning together, and joint advocacy.

Chamber vice-president

Leon Chretien gave a presentation on behalf of BC Board Voice and asked the group to consider endorsing the need to develop a social framework in British Columbia to promote the need for community and social services and to guide decision making and resource allocation.

Anyone interested in learning more about BC Board Voice, the Social Framework for BC or wanting more information on the Oct. 11 Non Profit Board Workshop can contact Lisa De Paoli, CFEC executive director, at ldepaoli@cariboofamily.org and 250-395-5155, or Rita Giesbrecht, Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre director, at rita@chrisharris.com at 250-791-6631.

Tim Hortons teams up with Wranglers The local Tim Hortons is teaming up with the 100 Mile House Wranglers for a unique Fill the Box fundraiser to benefit the hungry.

Folks can enjoy games and prizes while they add to the pantry shelves of local families in need, when they show up for the Wranglers hockey game on Oct. 5.

Tim Hortons owner Barb MacPhail says the restaurant wanted to further boost its current campaign, which raises funds for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society through the sale of Smile Cookies (available until Oct. 10).

MacPhail says she talked to the Wranglers about collaborating, and they all went all-out

to help make it happen.

“We just want everyone to bring a non-perishable food item to the Wranglers hockey game on Friday night. The whole idea is to ‘Fill the Box’ on the

A27

Wranglers truck.”

Competitions and activities include a “cookie” paper plane toss and a T-shirt shoot-out fired from the Wranglers cannon.

MacPhail notes each

T-shirt shot into the crowd will include a Tim Hortons surprise inside.

Other prizes will be handed out all evening, including several coffee machines, she adds.

This week only when you spend $1.00 on a delicious chocolate chunk Smile Cookie, Tim Hortons will donate the entire proceeds to 100 Mile House Food Bank Society.

The Lego Movie was a big hit with families in Centennial Park, and a big funding boost for the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society, on Sept. 13.

Close to 400 people came out to enjoy an outdoor movie on a huge inflatable screen and donated $3,188 towards a new waterpark in town.

The Second Annual Movie Night in the Park was great for all ages, says Waterpark Society co-founder Jamie Hughes.

“The burning question of the night was when will the waterpark be built? We’re doing our best to make it happen as soon as we can.”

The society, which started in March 2013, has raised $49,000 to date, while local contractors have promised to donate close to $80,000 in material and labour.

Planning and fundraising is ongoing for the waterpark, which is also known as a splash pad or spray park, featuring colourful equipment, showers and ground nozzles that shoot water atop a rain deck.

The estimated cost of the project, including the cost of a new lift station, is in the $300,000 range.

Members of the Waterpark Society also include Von Rywaczuk, Corey Wells, Trish and Jeff Edwards, and Jen and Norm Knutsen.

The group’s next event is a tailgate party at a 100 Mile House Wranglers home game at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Nov. 2.

Teen Space members enjoy survival weekend at Sheridan Lake Bay, a protected heritage site, then to Jeem’s Island and South Bay and then across the lake.

They went swimming, saw the eagle nest, and found a secluded beach for lunch.

They were taught “rafting,” whereby a group of kayakers joins together.

The weather was perfect for a full day on the water,

Szatmari boys race through motocross circuit’s youngest division Gaven Crites Free Press

T

here’s an open field and steep hill overlooking Lac la Hache on Hamilton Road where two little boys ride with big courage.

After all, Connor, 7, and Mason Szatmari, 4, are motocross racers, fearless ones.

The pair fire up their bikes and rip around the family property in Lac la Hache like there’s nothing else in the world except to ride their bikes that way. Each turn is quicker than the last and each jump higher.

They spent the summer racing in the British Columbia Motocross Association (BCMA) circuit, which was split into a North and South series this season with races in places like Ashcroft, Williams Lake, Smithers, Terrace and Quesnel.

“I raced 100 times already,” Mason says, embellishing some 90 times, while straddling his little red Honda in the driveway before taking it for a spin.

He hangs off the side of the bike and grips the handlebars and tells another story.

“One time I turned, I went so sharp, I was like: ‘Whaaaaaaa!

Vraaaaaaaaaa!’ ... It was fun.”

Mason first got on a dirt bike when he was three, moments after shedding the training wheels on his pedal bike. He started in the BCMA one day after turning four, the minimum age for racing. He was the youngest out there. He doesn’t even

Is he ever scared?

“No.” Has he ever crashed?

“No.” “You crashed a lot,” interjects Connor, from the garage were he is, with the help of his mom, getting into his green racing gear.

“But, just like 10 times,” Mason clarifies.

Winning and jumps are Connor’s favourite. He’s going into Grade 2. Connor is fast and he has the trophies to prove it.

Connor, who only recently turned seven, finished first after eight races in the BCMA South’s 50cc (aged four to six) division.

Mason was second in that division. In the BCMA North series, Connor finished second overall, while Mason finished fourth.

“Connor is the very competitive one,” explains Jennifer Szatmari, the boys’ mom. “Mason just likes to go out there.”

The pair got the idea to start racing motocross after watching events in Kamloops and Williams Lake. The BCMA circuit takes the Szatmari family all over B.C. They bought a trailer to spend weekends at different racetracks throughout the summer.

While it was nerve-racking in the beginning seeing the boys race, it’s gotten to be a lot of fun, Jennifer says.

Have they ever been hurt out there?

“Connor had a pretty good wipeout the last time right at the finish line,” Jennifer answers.

"He’s got a lot more power [with a new bike] than the bike he was riding at first. He took a big jump and crashed.”

But, so far, there have been no major injuries.

Are they ‘sure’ it’s not a scary thing to crash?

No, the boys reiterate.

“I just keep riding,” Mason adds.

“Some of the tracks are a bit harder for these little bikes,” she explains. “They can be really muddy, really sandy. When these little guys are on the track, parents kind of take a corner and everyone helps everybody else’s kids get up.”

At this stage in the boys’ racing careers, everyone is just out there having fun, Jennifer adds.

“It’s a good group of people.”
