The demo involved a patient who was trapped in the driver side of the vehicle.

Canim Lake chief applauds decision Secwepemc member supports Tsilhqot’in title claims Carole Rooney Free Press

The Supreme Court of Canada’s declaration of Aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation – the first time ever in Canada – is the first of many to come across British Columbia. That was a primary message Alexis Creek First Nation Chief Percy Guichon and others passed to a packed room of local government politicians at a Sept. 23 Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention forum. Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie says the province has also made more of a commitment to working partnerships and taking action to transform Crown and First Nations relations in B.C. Archie notes he heard this reflected in Premier Christy Clark’s

comments about “working part- he adds. nerships being the way forward” at The Canim Lake Band chief says a Sept. 11 meeting between cabi- he expects recognition of Aboriginal net ministers and First Nations he rights will go forward in stages, but attended. what is “most important” is that this “In the past, I think we land title has been granted to always pushed for the title the Tsilhqot’in. and the resources of the terIt assigns formal boundritories, and we need to know aries around 1,700 square that we will work together in kilometres in the Nemiah those areas.” Valley near Williams Lake, A second key point which is now no longer constressed at the forum was sidered Crown land. that this should be viewed as Mike Archie “To me, it’s most impora step forward for relations tant that it recognizes the with the province and local govern- Aboriginals have the right to, and ments, Archie explains. benefit of, these resources.

The “proof ” of that will be revealed in the future collaboration of the provincial and federal governments and the Aboriginals, she adds. “I think the First Nations are just like everyone else – they want to improve the quality of life for their citizens and protect the environment.”

Dozens of residents marched through the streets of 100 Mile House protesting violence against women and children as part of a Take Back the Night rally on Oct. 2.

Marchers rally against violence Dozens march to Take Back the Night in 100 Mile House Gaven Crites Free Press

he streets of 100 Mile House saw a large group of marchers with signs and candles protesting violence on Oct. 2. The annual Take Back the Night rally, organized by the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre, included a few dozen men, women and children and the Wranglers Junior B hockey team walking in solidarity. Emma Bailey, a Stop the Violence

counsellor, addressed the group before the evening march. “Every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner,” Bailey said. “In their lifetime, up to 70 per cent of women have been victims of a violent crime.... Unfortunately, many women feel uncomfortable to report this violence, so numbers are likely much higher than reported. “It is vital for us to open our doors and hearts to those suffering in our community.” Bailey has been working at the Women’s Centre for close to four

months. Violence against women is an issue in both urban and rural communities, including 100 Mile House, she explains. “It might not be talked about the same way or publicized the same way, but it still happens. “[Take Back the Night] is showing no one is alone and everyone has to work together to fight against these kinds of things. Anyone facing violence by themselves is less likely to conquer it than they are with the whole town behind them.” The 100 Mile House and District

Women’s Centre, located inside the South Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave., offers a variety of support services, including counselling, food hampers, hygiene products and a clothing drive. “It is my hope this is just the beginning for 100 Mile House,” Bailey said before the march. “That this walk represents our community supporting not only past and present victims, but helping to prevent future violence. “Please don’t stop after tonight. Look after each other and support each other every single day.”

Check in on rural health strategies

Carole Rooney Free Press

A rural health initiative that includes CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett at its table was highlighted at a workshop on rural health at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. “[Discussion] was about the co-operation and collaboration with the paramedics and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C.,” Barnett says, adding it also includes ministry representatives and doctors from Williams Lake and the University of British Columbia. “They are all at the table in their professional manner and working together to try to streamline health care [and to] see how we can collaborate and work together to make health care better for

rural B.C.” In her role on the Rural Health Committee, Barnett explains she meets with family physicians from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Tatla Lake. She also sits on the Select Standing Committee on Health – mandated to identify potential strategies for maintaining a sustainable health-care system. The latter has extended its deadline for public input through online submissions that address one or more of four overall questions, as follows: • How can we improve health and health care services in rural British Columbia? In particular, what long-term solutions can address the challenges of recruitment and retention of health care professionals in rural British Columbia?

• How can we create a cost-effective system of primary and community care built around inter-disciplinary teams? • What best practices can be implemented to improve end-of-life care? • How can we enhance the effectiveness of addiction recovery programs? Written submissions will be accepted online at www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/health/submission.asp until Dec. 31. Submissions may focus on solutions for either rural or urban communities, but should include an explanation of the anticipated benefits and a justification of the costs involved. Further information is available on the website, or by contacting committee clerk Susan Sourial at 250-356-0823 or e-mail to Susan.Sourial@leg.bc.ca.

A Work Bee and Potluck is happening at the Stemete7uw’i: A Gathering Place Friendship Society on Oct. 18, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Volunteers are welcomed to turn out at the Annex behind St. Timothy’s Church, at the intersection of Blackstock and Horse Lake roads, and bring along a food dish for a shared meal. The society also welcomes new members, who will learn about the friendship centre, board of directors, bylaws and other information.

Premier Christy Clark told municipal government elected officials at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention she wants rising municipal pay rates to be an issue in the Nov. 15 elections. Clark pointed to an Ernst & Young report released by the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation just before the UBCM that showed unionized municipal staff in B.C. received – on average – 38 per cent hikes between 2001 and 2012. The report noted it was double what unionized provincial staff earned and more than the 23 per cent rate of inflation during the same period. The premier told convention delegates she wants them to toughen up on negotiations with their

union staff the way her government did with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, and added the province will be talking to the municipalities about next steps after the Nov. 15 elections. “We’re not having those issues here,” said District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. “In actuality, we have done some cutting. We’re in the middle of the road as far as wages go.” “I wouldn’t want the province negotiating for us. They need to get their own [house] in order before the come looking at us. “I watched the way this government negotiates and I wouldn’t treat my employees like that. And, I’m sorry, but I would not want them negotiating for me.” The mayor says the District has cut staff by 25 per cent and is getting more work done because they have found better ways to do it, and is equipping employees with better tools.

Cariboo-Chilcotin borders scrutinized Free Press

The District of 100 Mile House was represented at one of the 29 public hearings being held by the British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Commission. Councillor Ralph Fossum says he attended the hearing in Williams Lake on Sept. 26 to speak on behalf of council, which wants to keep the current Cariboo-Chilcotin boundaries intact. Fossum explains he was “pleased” with the presentation and the reception he received, but it was difficult to know what other issues the commission faces in its overall deliberations. “We can ... look at our own situation and think we have a solu-

tion, but they have to look at the total picture and that affects other constituencies.” One of the factors it looks at is the population and size of each constituency, he says, but it won’t bring back any recommendations until its spring 2015 preliminary report. According to some new legislation, Fossum adds the number of constituencies in the electoral area can’t change, but their boundaries can be adjusted within an area. Normally, constituency populations are allowed to run up to 25 per cent above or below the standard, but the Cariboo-Chilcotin is at about 40 per cent below, he notes. “We are both vulnerable and protected. We are vulnerable simply

Staff is undergoing training now to assist residents with any questions, Grady adds. CRD Area L Director Bruce Rattray says it is a joint program with Multi-Materials B.C. (MMBC), and sub-contracted to Green by Nature for pickup of printed paper and packaging for recycling. Rattray says he is pleased it has been implemented, and that the simplified separation means it is easier than ever for his area residents to recycle, and that items such as Styrofoam and plastic bags are now accepted for local recycling. “Assuming it is successful and people participate – which comes down to an educational issue – this has the potential to make a very substantial decrease in garbage going into the landfill.” CRD Area G Director Margo Wagner says she is pleased to see this installation now happening at Forest Grove, based on the success of the Lac la Hache pilot

project. “There will be full recycling at the Forest Grove dump in October, finally. So, that’s coming to fruition.” Wagner notes more information on recycling options and a complete list of accepted items is online at www.recyclinginbc.ca.

because our numbers are below what they like to attain, although they are permitted to let us go well below because... the Thompson-Cariboo is a protected area for it’s five [constituencies].” It is more a matter of how they might decide to “jockey them” around within the area, Fossum says, adding the population of Kamloops is increasing while the Cariboo-Chilcotin’s is shrinking.

granting title to 1,700 square kilometres of former Crown land to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation provides a unique variable the commission will not encounter in any other constituency, Fossum explains. “I tried to introduce the concept of aboriginal title, and ... we are just beginning to understand what the implications are of what aboriginal title does, and could mean. “All three commissioners were writing an

What Time Would You Like It To Be?

There is an old joke about someone asking a lawyer the time of day. In the joke, the lawyer’s answer is: What time would you like it to be? People often ask lawyers and accountants how long they should keep documents. The correct answer should probably be: What time would you like it to be? - or, in other words, why do you want to know? Because the correct answer depends on the questioner’s reason for asking. Accountants will usually tell people that for tax purposes they should keep documents for seven years – and the fact is that for many purposes seven years is long enough. There are, however, exceptions – in some cases, you should keep your records forever. There are often situations where a person may have to prove ownership of something which was purchased thirty or forty years previously. How do you prove ownership without records? Lawyers regularly see examples of problems arising where a person only keeps records for seven years. Couples who divorced over twenty-ﬁve years ago and agreed to split their pension – but by the time husband retired, there were no longer records showing when he started contributing to it. The would-be immigrant unable to prove she completed high school in 1979. With last year’s changes to family law in British Columbia, there will be many more such examples – because the old 50:50 rule on splitting up family property has been changed to a rule that says that in many cases it’s only 50:50 on the increase in value of property since the start of cohabitation. What about the story family law lawyers often hear: I put up 90% of the money when we bought the house and he only put up 10%? Under the new legislation, prove that you put up 90% of the money to start with and you’ll recover that money – but for a forty year marriage, let’s hope you didn’t throw out all your documents after the ﬁrst seven years! So, do you want to know what time it is? Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Thank you for making us your community newspaper since 1960!

Celebrating life in South Cariboo

The 74th Annual National Newspaper Week takes place Oct. 5-11. National Newspaper Week recognizes the important role that newspapers play in the lives of communities large and small throughout British Columbia, across the country and around the world. The theme of

this year’s event is “Newspapers: the foundation of vibrant communities.” This is exactly what the employees at the 100 Mile House Free Press strive for every day – 52 weeks a year. We want to chronicle the history of our communities through the stories and camera lenses of our reporters and correspondents.

We want to provide the fridge art for the South Cariboo, so moms, dads, grandparents and aunts and uncles can cut the photos and names out of the Free Press and attach them to the refrigerator door. Later, we hope, these clippings will be put into a scrapbook or album, so families can get a visual of their

100 Mile House Free Press support always appreciated Dear Chris, Ken and all of the Free Press staff: Thanks very much for all your support of initiatives, such as Age-Friendly BC, “A GP for Me,” the South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC) and the Stemete7uw’i: A Gathering Place. The success of collaborative community initiatives depends on engaging community support and gaining public input. The SCCPC is a small organization that is often engaged in building community initiatives and we have experienced many times the strong community spirit and support given to local initiatives through your publication, leadership and staff.

We couldn’t connect with the numbers of people we do if it weren’t for the support you give us and all the many organizations, groups and services in the South Cariboo. The 100 Mile House Free Press continues to be a key connection for us to get information out into the community through articles, editorials, area correspondents and advertising. Thanks once again for working together with us and all of our community partners to help build a stronger community! Lea Smirfitt Executive co-ordinator South Cariboo Community Planning Council

children growing up, getting married, having children of their own and becoming

grandparents. We also strive to let our readers know about our friends and neigh-

bours – their successes and their problems, so we can applaud them or reach out with a

helping hand. Thank you for giving us a read and taking us along for the ride.

The Free Press continues to make a positive difference each day to the lives of children, youth and families in the South Cariboo. It is with great appreciation and thanks that I write this letter of recognition to Chris Nickless, Ken Alexander and all of the staff at the 100 Mile House Free Press for their caring support of our South Cariboo community. Chris is supportive in many ways – helping us to bring projects to fruition, such as the South Cariboo Children Services Directory, and promoting the need for food Security during the summer months. As soon as the ad

appeared in the paper, we received many donations of fresh fruit and vegetables, which were so appreciated by families in need. Ken is always keeping up-to-date on all of the initiatives in the South Cariboo and ensuring these events are well publicized and supported by our community. Carole Rooney and Gavin Crites and others are present at many events showcasing our pride in our community and the resiliency of our families. In addition, Ken is always open to publishing educational information for parents, children and youth to help them to be healthi-

er and happier. It is a great pleasure to work with all of you supporting our mutual goals of healthy families and healthy communities. Thank you from all

of us – CFEC clients, staff, management and board.

Aquatic centre poll results revealed Public opinion in sample group offers ‘unclear’ direction

Carole Rooney Free Press

The results of a telephone poll on the current level of support for an aquatic centre in 100 Mile House has revealed the opinions of 400 people within the South Cariboo Recreation boundaries. It shows 46 per cent said they support the existing project proposal, while 40 per cent said they did not, and another 14 per cent were undecided. The Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) summary of the report states this provides “an unclear determination” on whether there is sufficient support to move ahead with the pool project at this time. However, 62 per cent of respondents indicated a family member would use a local pool if it was built within the next few years, while 31 per cent said they would not. The poll was conducted by the CRD and District of 100 Mile House, and carried out by Discovery Research. The results will be considered by the local governments in determining if there is sufficient support to move forward with a public hearing and referendum on the project. The aquatic centre’s current concept design features a four-lane, 25-metre lap pool and a similar-sized leisure pool. It also includes a lazy river, spray fountains, a hot tub and a potential multi-purpose space.

The latest estimate for 2016 construction costs is $14.4 million. Cost impacts examined The majority of poll questions were based on the current proposal that could mean up to $135 increase per $100,000 of residential tax assessments for properties within its taxation boundaries. The vast majority of those opposed to the proposal cited reasons of an unaffordable cost and/or excessive taxation levels, but 32 per cent said they would support a less costly pool centre project with a minimized size and design. Another 30 per cent of respondents against the pool due to costs/ taxation said that they would also not approve of the project at a lesser value. Because the remaining 38 per cent were undecided on this question, the CRD summary notes more information is “clearly” required by residents to allow them to make an informed decision on a lower-cost proposal. Who was polled The respondents’ awareness of the pool project was rated at 87 per cent – summarized as “extremely high.” They mostly consisted of residents of 108 Mile Ranch (32 per cent), 100 Mile House (21 per cent) and Horse Lake (19 per cent). Lone Butte residents made up another 11 per cent, with the remain-

der (16 per cent) from Horse Lake North, Forest Grove, Buffalo Creek, 103 Mile and Gateway. Year-round residents made up about 98 per cent of the people polled. Approximately 30 per cent each were under the age of 40, or more than 65 years old, with just over 40 per cent aged between 40 and 64. Females made up 59

per cent of respondents, 41 per cent were males, and 32 per cent indicated they currently have children or teens living at home. The South Cariboo Joint Committee, which reviews and discusses the ongoing project, meets next on Oct. 21. More information and the survey report is available on the CRD website at www. cariboord.bc.ca.

arning a living is an important part of our lives and identities. It is how we take care of ourselves, provide for our families, and contribute to our community. Our jobs provide us with an opportunity to learn new skills, build relationships and follow our passions. Please take a minute to consider people with disabilities. There are more than 330,000 people of working age who have a disability living in British Columbia, and we estimate that about half of these people are employed. This shows us that people with disabilities are under-represented in B.C.’s employment pool. It also shows us there is an opportunity to tap into this workforce and help people with disabilities gain meaningful employment. We know that many people with disabilities have the education, the skills and experience to help B.C.

We also know that when One of the things we heard barriers are removed and loud and clear was that most people with disabilities are people with disabilities, who able to participate fully are able to work, want to in their communities and work. support their families, So, as the first course everyone benefits. of action, our provincial This is government the driving has declared force behind September Accessibility 2024, as Disability the B.C.

nities. It would be a good time to give all of the volunteer firefighters and first responders a clap on the back and thank them for all they do, including risking injury or their lives when they respond to a fire callout. They aren’t looking for thanks or recognition. However, we should show our appreciation for all of their volunteer hours - training, practising and being willing to get out of bed in the middle of the night, or leave a family dinner or special gathering to respond to a fire or a medical callout. They would be much happier if people would do their best to prevent fires from happening by being cautious with fire and prepared to react if a fire does occur. With that in mind, we need to consider this year’s National Fire Prevention Week theme: Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month. So, that is a pretty easy preventive measure. Making sure our smoke alarms are working is as easy as pushing the little test button on the smoke alarm once a month, and changing the batteries if it fails the test. The life-expectancy of a smoke alarm is around 10 years, so if we have one that is around that age, we should insert new batteries and test them. If they don’t work, we should replace them. Some folks don’t take smoke alarms seriously or see them as an annoyance when they beep and squeal. Well, if they beep and squeal, test them, check their age and/or replace them. Newly constructed homes have hard-wired smoke alarms and it is not unusual for them to go off as the home settles or pieces of dust or construction material come in contact with the sensor – blow the dust off the sensor. Working smoke alarms do save lives. Consider these horrifying statistics: almost twothirds of the deaths from house fires occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. About half of the house-fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. - when most people are sleeping. Working smoke alarms will wake folks up and give them enough time to get out of the house before the flames spread. Once your family is up and out of bed, it’s time to kick the next important preventive measure into gear – follow your Get Out Alive home escape plans. It’s fairly simple but well worth the effort of having a plan and practising the plan because it will save the lives of our loved ones.

UBCIC call for public inquiry To the editor: This is an open letter to Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. We are writing with respect to Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) Resolution 2014-17: Support for Xat’sull and Williams Lake First Nations, Call for Public Inquiry and Mining Reform in the Aftermath of the Mount Polley disaster, which was endorsed unanimously by the Chiefsin-Assembly on Sept. 18, 2014.

On Aug. 4, 2014, the Mount Polley tailings pond breached and resulted in the worst mining disaster in British Columbia’s history. The breach resulted in 10 billion litres of contaminated water and five billion litres of solid tailings waste into Polley Lake, down Hazeltine Creek into Quesnel Lake and River, which directly connects to the Fraser River watershed. As a result of this disastrous breach, significant concerns have

During our stay while camping at Green Lake this summer, we found ourselves stranded with a blown engine in our truck. The travel trailer was set up at the campsite and we had no way home to West Kelowna. Of course, nobody plans on this kind of thing! Full of anxiety and feeling defeated, we stopped in at Sunrise Ford for a final diagnosis. We spoke with Leon Chretien, and in no time, he had us in some demo wheels, back to the campsite relaxing, while he figured out the best deal possible on the new truck best fitted for our needs.

been raised by local First Nations of the water quality, impacts to food fish and the surrounding ecosystem. The Mount Polley disaster highlights the inadequacy of existing provincial laws, regulations and policies with respect to mining in the province, consequently, as per resolution 2014-17, UBCIC calls on your governments to hold a full and thorough public inquiry to: •Bring about the full disclosure of the record of facts;

• To understand the current inadequacy of existing provincial laws, regulations, standards, and policies with respect to mining in British Columbia; and • To facilitate significant mining reform in the province. Also troubling is the recent release of the 2010 safety inspection report of the Mount Polley dam, which showed a significant crack in the structure that contains the toxic materials within the pond. It is with

this resolution and the release of this frightening new information that we urgently call on your governments to move forward with a full public inquiry. We look forward to your immediate reply.

Public education advocates needed

To the editor: Supporters of a strong public education system are urged to consider lending their voices to the cause by letting their name stand for election to the position of school trustee in School District #27 this fall. The civic elections taking place on Nov. 15 will be electing candidates for an unprecedented four-year term, and candidates must declare their intention to run by Oct. 10. The mandate of a school trustee is to be the voice of the public on education issues. That public voice was absent in our district during the recent job action, and this silence contributed to a prolonged strike, which could have been resolved much earlier had local trustees been more vocal. While there is labour peace in education for the time being, the issue of underfunding remains very much at the forefront. British Columbia remains far below the national average of per pupil spending by government,

and the continued lack of services and resources still plagues our students. Parents have called for more support for students and classrooms, and trustees have the obligation to pursue these resources on behalf of their constituents. We need citizens to take on this challenge that our current trustees refused to address. The provincial government has not demonstrated the willingness to adequately fund the public education system, and only

reached a contract with teachers because of public pressure. We need to elect trustees who will embody the voice of the public and maintain that pressure. If you value public education, please consider running for school trustee. Our children and grandchildren deserve better than the status quo. Murray Helmer, president Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association

BC VIEWS

very year when British Columbia’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year, it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless smart meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year, it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion, and this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage.

gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. fifty years into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the United States. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the province Children’s psychiatric ward opens in Kamloops KAMLOOPS - Four years ago, children with psychiatric issues who needed to stay at Royal Inland Hospital were placed in the same ward as adults who had mental-health challenges. At the time, the Interior Health Authority said there wasn’t a need for a separate paediatric psychiatric area because there wasn’t the volume of patients to warrant it. Within about a year, however, the hospital set aside part of its fifth floor to provide just that kind of care — an area that has been renovated and officially opened to the media, funders and the provincial government to see. Children should be using it by the end of the month. The numbers have grown as the hospital sees about 100 children a year who need to stay for a period of time for treatment of their illness. The new ward has been expanded and enhanced, with a lounge area to watch TV or play games, an outdoor patio, a new counselling room, a dedicated washroom with a shower room (not on the ward, but nearby) and a new nurses’ station. Cougar kills pony in Tappen SALMON ARM - Cougar traps are set in the Tappen Valley area after one of the big cats killed a Shetland Pony last weekend. Tanner Beck, an officer with the BC Conservation Service, says they were called to the area last Saturday after the pony was found mauled to death by the owners and determined that a large cat was the culprit. 'We've set traps, but nothing has returned to the area so far," said Beck, who notes the big cats are always around in the Shuswap. "They are opportunistic predators, so if they spot a chance as they are moving around, they will take it," said Beck. He says humans are not generally at risk because they appear much different than the cougar's usual prey, but he notes residents should be careful with pets and livestock. "Don't let them free range and keep them indoors or protected, especially at dusk and into the night."

A number of acts take the stage in support of the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society on Oct. 19. “The Cariboo’s Got Talent” will feature local musicians, dancers and storytellers. The event starts at 2 p.m. at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House. “Everyone in the district knows that ‘The Cariboo’s Got Talent’,” says organizer Caroline Sharpe. “It will be an afternoon for the whole family and will feature the 100 Mile Community Band, the Polynesian Dance Studio, South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics team, Leslie Ross and Jason Ruscheinsky, the bluegrass band Front Porch and storytelling.” Admission is by donation and “every cent of it is going to the work of hospice.” “We’re hoping we get a full hall,” Sharpe says, adding a similar event was “quite a success” five years ago.

9:30 a.m. Anyone who wants to volunteer can call Jensen at 250-397-4144. They currently receive produce donations from Safeway and Higher Ground Natural Foods in 100 Mile House, and the ice for soup cooling comes from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House.

people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. • Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. • Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. • Replace all smoke

alarms when they are 10 years old, or sooner if they don’t respond properly. • Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understand what to do when they hear it. To learn more about smoke alarms and “Working Smoke Alarms Saves Lives,” visit NFPA’s website at www. firepreventionweek.org.

Dry hydrants improve water access

By Roy Allan

For the past 41 years, the members of the Watch Lake-North Green Lake community have worked together to create a fire department of which they are justifiably very proud. Combining their many talents and assisted by donations of equipment and materials, both fire halls were completely re-built in 2009. This provided allseason training areas and larger storage facilities to accommodate the increased size of newer vehicles. Through the careful juggling of finances, the aging fleet of trucks was slowly replaced. To optimize the efficiency of this fleet, some of the vehicles serve two purposes. The two one-ton pickups are used for rapid transport to an emergency scene by the first responders. In summer both vehicles also carry a tote containing 250 gallons of water for the rapid suppression of spot fires in hard to reach areas. One of the trucks can also be affixed with a

snow plough to clear the parking lots and to clear a path into fire or medical aid areas during the winter months. One of the tenders has rear-mounted pumps that can be used for firefighting thus turning the unit into a pumper for short-term use. Even though the community is on the shores of two lakes, the rapid access to water can be a major problem. In total, the trucks carry a total of 7,250 gallons of water

and an emergency tank holding another 8,000 gallons of water was installed in the water system at Hall #1. This supply could be quickly exhausted in the event of a major fire and another supply must be available. The pumper trailer can fill the largest of the tenders in slightly more than three minutes, but the lakes are inaccessible in early and late winter when the ice is unsafe. Furthermore,

WorkSafeBC regulations will soon preclude entering the water or working on the ice surface to place the suction lines for the pumps. To solve this problem, the department has been working on the installation of two dry hydrants for the past year. Dry hydrants are pipe lines that are dug into the lakeshore and run out into the lake at a depth sufficient to lie below the thickness of ice in the winter provid-

ing a year-round source of water. This system has been successfully installed in other local areas, so research began to find suitable locations here. Level road access and adequate water depth were important criteria in determining the appropriate locations. The permit applications with various government departments take far longer

than the simple digging of a hole in which to lay a pipe. Careful attention also had to be paid to past research in order to avoid known sites with an archaeological significance. In the end, Accesses #20 near 83 Mile Road and #14 just east of the Y intersection turned out to be the most suitable. With the paperwork done and materials purchased both hydrants were built by Brian Beherrall in one day at each location. Screens were floated in the lake on either side of the excavation to keep the disturbance of the lake bed to a minimum and the units were completely assembled on location then carefully placed in the excavation. Subsequent testing has shown that the two four inch lines can be used simultaneously allowing for the filling of two tenders at the same time if necessary. To guard against vehicles accidentally hitting the hydrants, short pieces of culvert filled with gravel will be placed to surround the units. It took a lot of work by a lot of people, but this community has created the best possible fire/emergency service for a community of this size on a very modest budget. Roy Allan is the president of the Watch Lake-North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department.

Celebrate Fire Prevention Week

By Jon Grieve Fires are real, not just events in the news or movies. Fire is fast, extremely hot and spreads rapidly. It creates thick black toxic smoke that is even more deadly than flames!

Jon Grieve

When fire strikes, seconds are important! There is no time to stop and think. Everyone needs to

know what to do! Smoke alarms provide the early warning of the problem and a home fire escape plan will provide time to escape safely. Although we hope you never have to use it, planning and practising your home escape plan may one day save your life and the lives of your loved ones. The 2014 Fire Prevention Week campaign is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” This year’s theme focuses on providing families and communities with the knowledge necessary to test their smoke alarms, identify potential fire and burn risks in and around the home, and be prepared if a fire or other emergency should they occur. The Lone Butte

Fire Department has again partnered with Horse Lake Elementary School to teach children and their families the importance of developing and practising a home fire drill.

Children will learn these skills by completing an interactive fire safety worksheet – “Fire Safety Starts with You.” The children who successfully complete the activity booklet and the entry

form and return the entry form are eligible to enter to win an iPad. Remember, fire safety starts with you! Jon Grieve is the fire chief for the Lone Butte Fire Department.

Potluck Dinner successful

SOuth Green Lake News On Sept. 27, 40 people showed up for the renewed Harvest Potluck Dinner held at the Green Lake Snowmobile Club (GLSC) clubhouse. The event had been sent aside for a few years and the Ladies Auxiliary decided it was time to

give it another try. The potluck food selection was excellent and everyone had a wonderful time, although several of the men were a bit subdued having spent from 2:30 that morning until just a few hours before the dinner fighting a fire on Green Lake Road South (see article on page A11 of the Oct. 2 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press). It was a great time to

connect with those who had been too busy over the summer and with those who are about to snowbird to warmer climates. On Oct. 25, the GLSC will be hosting a dinner and local photographer Chris Harris. Harris will present his latest book, headlined Flyover British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, an aerial journey about the memories of

bush-pilots, search and rescue, and recreational flyers. Chris has photographed many areas of the Cariboo-Chilcotin region and has published books, including The Bowron Lakes, Spirit in the Grass, and Motherstone. The dinner will be a beef dip with salads and dessert. The doors will open at 5 p.m., dinner is at 6, and the presentation is at 7:30. The cost per person is $20 or reserve a table of 8 for $150, but there is limited seating. Tickets will be available at the 70 Mile Store, or contact Diane Sullivan at 250-706-8562.

Storm roll shorthanded Wranglers Gaven Crites

Captain Devan Suidy: 100 Mile has 'serious skill'

Free Press

Despite handing the 100 Mile House Wranglers a 5-3 loss at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Oct. 3, Devan Suidy isn't too concerned about the Kamloops Storm. The captain, who leads the Wranglers in scoring with 11 points in seven games, speaks with a lot of confidence. Ahead of the game, coach Dale Hladun said it would be an early test of where the Wranglers (4-3) are in the Doug Birks Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). Kamloops (4-3) won the division last year and dispatched the Wranglers in round two of the playoffs. The Storm notched the first two goals – and outshot the Wranglers 9-3 – in the first 20 minutes on Oct. 3. But for the next 40, the Wranglers matched them in goals and shots. “I'm not too worried about Kamloops this year,” Suidy says. “I thought we really improved as the game went on. We have a lot of young guys on the team. It's still early and they're still getting used to the league and the pace and everything. The fact that we came back said a lot.” Suidy scored the Wranglers' third goal with one second left in the third

period and assisted on their first score of the game, tallied by Lane van de Wetering. The 20-year-old captain is playing his third season in the KIJHL. He was traded to the Wranglers at the beginning of the season. His assessment of the club so far: “We have a crazy amount of depth on this team.” “This could be a championship team, no problem,” Suidy adds. “We have some serious skill. We have to go out there and grind it out. We should be at the top, if not close to the top, of the league all year. Anything below that is kind of disappointing because we know how good we are.” Suidy, playing on the first line alongside veterans Cole Zimmerman and van de Wetering, has never started a season this hot before, and his acquisition is a huge bright side for the Wranglers. He's hovering around the league's top 10 in scoring with a few games in hand. He credits his line-mates. “It's like a dream to play with 'Vandy' and 'Zim',” he says. “Vandy can find you anywhere on the ice.” Suidy is right about that. van de Wetering, who might have been the only guy in the rink to see the play as a possibility before he made it happen with 5:35 left in the second period against Kamloops, made a very impressive pass look easy

leading to the Wranglers' second goal of the game. van de Wetering, a lefthanded shot, was off to the goalie's right side in Kamloops' zone skating toward the corner and, without much of a look, he feathered a pass back up through the middle, between a few Storm players, right onto a striding Jayden Syrota's stick as the defenceman broke into the slot. Syrota, also a left-handed shot, buried the puck low blocker side. “Basically all you have to do with those guys is have your stick on the ice and they'll find you,” adds Suidy. “They make it pretty easy.” However, it's not easy beating Kamloops, especially with a short bench. The Wranglers missed defenceman Nick Headrick, who was called up to the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), while Riley Harder and Nathan Klaczek were out with injuries. Michael Lynch was sick, and a number of boys were benched because they “forgot what time school starts.” The Wranglers need a full roster on their 'A' game if they want to beat the Storm, coach Hladun says. “I'm [upset] we lost, but I'm not panicking. I think there were positives [on the ice]. The other positive is hopefully messages have been sent

and received.” Hladun highlighted the play of Brett Harris, Micky Turner and Syrota, while stressing motivation, preparation and seeing more from guys at practice. “We have two philosophies we run with,” he adds. “It's all practice until the playoffs and you have to give yourself a chance to win.” Syrota tallied one goal and two assists and took player of the game honours for the home team. Goalie Kristian Stead, who is expected to join the Merritt Centennials of the BCHL for a few games while that club deals with an injury in their lineup, made 22 saves. Up next, the Wranglers host the Princeton Posse (3-3-1-2) on Oct. 10 and meet the Eagles in Sicamous (4-6) on Oct. 11. Suidy was moved to 100 Mile from Princeton in a trade for forward Connor Sloan. Hladun, a former Princeton coach, recruited Suidy in 2012-13. As a Langley house league product before moving up to Junior B, Suidy says Hladun took some risk signing him that year. “He's a hell of a coach,” Suidy says. “I'm surprised more players don't follow him around like I did.” Asked about facing his former team this weekend, he answers: “I can't wait.”

The 100 Mile Primal Electric peewee reps split games in Williams Lake, Oct 4. Ethan Sanders scored twice for 100 Mile and Sam Chabot potted the game-winner for a 3-2 victory, while Ryan Balbirnie's goaltending kept the local team in Game 2. Nate Wolstenholme (2), Marshall Tessaro and Owen Pincott made assists. In Game 1, Williams Lake won 6-5. Wolstenholme (2), Brock Everett and Ethan Sanders (2) scored for 100 Mile. Pincott made three assists amd Jace Myers and Tessaro added one. Balbirnie made 35 saves.

ATOM HOCKEY 100 Mile's atom Wranglers started their Cariboo Hockey League development season. The local club beat Williams Lake on Oct. 5 and lost two games to Quesnel on Oct. 4. Nolan Duff and Easton Mills shared goaltending duties throughout the weekend. Mills (1), Kyson Hopson (6), Kyle Sanford (4), Jackson Hooper (1) and Braiden Beharrel scored goals. Sanford (3), Beharrel, Jacob Henderson and Noah Sanders (2) tallied assists.

Goalie William Sellers made 30 saves for Lac la Hache on Oct. 4.

Tomahawks drop opener A new Central Interior Hockey League season is underway, which means the start of senior men's hockey action at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena in Lac la Hache. The Lac la Hache Tomahawks hosted the Williams Lake Stampeders to open the season on Oct. 4, and despite a two goal lead heading into the third period, the Tomahawks were downed 6-4. Goalie William Sellers made 30 saves for Lac la Hache (0-1) in the loss. The first 20 minutes of play saw a lot of pucks in the back of the net. Lac la Hache's Wilfred Robbins got the local club on the board first, but Williams Lake

(2-0) answered back. The Tomahawks did the same with goals by Francis Johnson ad Kyle Crump, while Williams Lake notched the last tally of the frame and Lac la Hache took a 3-2 into the second. Lac la Hache's Robin Gilbert scored the only goal in the second period. Williams Lake erupt-

ed in the third period with four goals in the final nine minutes, one of which was an emptynetter. Assists went to Gilbert, Robbins (2), Dave Archie and Andrew Morrison (2). The Tomahawks host the Smithers Steelheads (0-1) at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 11.

RIP ladies golf season The 108 Golf Resort might have been mistaken for a cemetery on Sept. 28. The 108 Ladies Club held its annual “Tombstone” event to mark the end of the season, placing an RIP marker where they took their last strokes based on individual handicaps. Adding to the somber theme, the wine challenge was “black it out”, which saw everything black: golf balls, veils, eyes and clothes. “It's been a fun year,” says club member Sharon Thompson. “[We] had wonderful weather to boot. It doesn't get much better than that to finish off the season.” Of the 24 golfers on the course for the nine-hole round, Lorraine McCaffrey finished best, followed by Char Wahnschaff, Carol Ohlund, Leslie Bell, Shannon Knapp, Lavern Martin, Lori Henderson, Shirley

The trio drew a ton of raunchy laughs throughout the close to three-hour show. “Kevin was definitely my favourite,” says Frizzi. “I thought he was hilarious.” Asked about a favourite joke of his, she laughs and responds: “He’s so inappropriate it’s hard to think of something that’s OK to put in the newspaper.” The Hunnies have brought a number of fun and entertaining events to 100 Mile House, includ-

ing most recently a CCR tribute concert in May. The group includes Frizzi, Danielle McLauchlin and Nadaya Tresierra. “The community really responds well to the comedy nights,” Frizzi notes. “I think it’s something we would definitely want to see happen again and again in 100 Mile. “We just want it to get better. We definitely want the community’s input on things they did like and things they didn’t like because we want to make it the best it can be.” Last year’s show saw comedians Dan Quinn, Kyle Bottom and Ivan Decker.

Flooring choices for the home are about as plentiful as countertop options. There’s something to suit everyone’s taste and purpose and then some. To choose the right material you’ll need to consider a few things ahead of time, such as how the room is typically used along with your family’s lifestyle. Also think about your priorities and whether you prefer ease of maintenance over aesthetics. Taking a few moments to contemplate these considerations and prioritizing what’s really important to you will help you narrow down your focus to a short list of good candidates. Floors take up a lot of visible space and it’s only natural to want them to look great. Just don’t forget the practical aspects when making your choice. The right blend of fashion and prudence should result in the right product for your home. Here are some things to consider: 1. Set your budget before you begin shopping. A beautiful material like marble may turn your head but be beyond your

means. By knowing what you are able to spend, you can limit your options to what you can afford. 2. Go to one or more home-improvement stores to look at flooring samples. Do not base your selections solely on magazine photos or Internet pages. They may look very different at the store. Ask if you can take various samples home to see them under your own lighting conditions and at different times of day. 3. Narrow your options to what will work for your whole home. Make sure the flooring you are considering will work with carpeting, vinyl or hardwood in another room. 4. Weigh traffic and use in the room you are flooring. Ceramic tile in a large family’s kitchen may be very noisy. Carpeting may be a good choice in a room where small children play and roughhouse. 5. Match the flooring with the styling of your home. A hardwood floor works well in an Arts and Crafts home. A thick shag rug complements a colonial home. Tile can be striking in a contemporary home.

Big bucks being raised for ducks

Buy tickets now for popular banquet, auction for wetland conservation

Organizers want the public to buy tickets now as the annual Ducks Unlimited banquet and auction sold

out last year, while raising close to $10,000 for wetland conservation. The charity fundraiser at the 108 Mile Community Hall goes Oct. 18. A number of great prizes and merchandise are up for auction. Tickets are $40 per person and available at Donex Pharmacy, Money Concepts, Save-On-Foods, 108 Mile Supermarket, Pharmasave and CIBC. Volunteers are needed. For more information, call Tammie Black at

250-395-2292 (ext. 222) or Chris Nickless at 250791-6616. According to Ducks Unlimited Canada, up to eight million waterfowl and 20 million shorebirds nest in British Columbia every year and the B.C. Coast is Canada’s number 1 wintering area for birds. Climate change, harmful agricultural and forestry practices and urban and industrial expansion are the biggest threats to the province’s wetlands and waterfowl habitat.

Ross Beatty Dec. 13, 1919 - Oct. 5, 2014

With his family by his side Ross Beatty Eden passed away on Oct. 5, 2014, just short of his 95th birthday. Ross was born to Stan and Sadie Eden of Watch Lake, BC on Dec. 13, 1919 in Ashcroft, BC. In 1920 when Ross was one year old they moved from the one room cabin at the head of Watch Lake to the house his dad helped build. At the early age of twelve, Ross started learning how to break colts and work horses. Ross joined the army at the age of 21 and was deployed for duty in the fall of 1943. When World War II ended in 1945 Ross returned to Canada but not before marrying Jean Leggett on July 4, 1945 in Rutherglen, Scotland. Ross and Jean lived in various locations in the Cariboo until 1963 when they moved their family to Monte Creek where Ross began his career as Ranch Foreman for the Bostock Ranch, then for Wayne and Valene Everett when the ranch ownership changed. Ross was well respected in the ranching industry. He had great knowledge of cattle and all aspects of the ranch operation. After retiring from ranching in the early 80’s, Ross worked as a Brand Inspector for the Provincial Government and then worked at the BC Livestock Coop. Ross was also a 4-H Leader and made sure all his children had the opportunity to become involved in the 4-H program. Ross was predeceased by his wife and best friend Jean in 2003 after 58 years of marriage. He will be sadly missed by his two sons: Tom (Lois) Eden, Midway, Don (Deb) Eden, Clinton and his three daughters, Betty Manuel (Rick Hook) Louis Creek, Barb (Joe) DeLeeuw, Knutsford and Helen (Lael) Robillard of Kamloops. Eleven grandchildren: Stan (Terreena) Eden, Sandra (Gerry) Pettyjohn, Kyla (Brian) Miller, Jenna (Rob) Geisbrecht, Justine Eden, Ross Eden, Karla Crellin, Stacy Crellin (Dan Light), Jodi Robillard (Dave Nickel), Kyle Robillard (Dani Adamo) and Keaton Robillard. He also leaves to cherish eight great grandchildren: Miranda, Joshua, Lane, Macy, Jacob, Lucas, Mya and Kaedance. Step grandchildren: Daric, Darla, Dana and Jinni Hook. Ross was also predeceased by his siblings and their spouses, brother Don Eden (Jackie), twin sisters Alice Horn (Shorty) and Enid Scheepbouwer (John).

Busy weekend for Fire-Rescue members

Ken Alexander Free Press

Last weekend was extremely busy for members of the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue, but they managed to pull it off with flying colours. Noting September was abnormally slow in terms of callouts, FireRescue chief Darrell Blades says October got off to a quick start. Around 11:40 p.m. on Oct. 3, firefighters responded to a medical callout in the downtown area. Blades says the crew just cleared that call, put the trucks away. and were just locking up the hall and heading home when a call

came through at six minutes after midnight. It was for a mutual aid response to a structure fire in the 5200 block of Ridgeview Road between Buffalo Creek and Forest Grove. Noting it was a medicinal grow-op, he says they responded quickly because there was almost a full crew already at the hall. Forest Grove and 100 Mile firefighters “worked very well together” and had the fire knocked down very quickly, he adds. They were on scene until around 3 a.m. Fire-Rescue members had a training day on Oct. 4, during which they practised exterior firefighting with

four-man crews at the training centre. Then on Oct. 5, they held an Open House at the hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Noting it had been a few years since they hosted an open house, Blades says it went well with steady traffic throughout the day. The featured event was the extrication demonstration during which crews rescued a “patient” who was trapped in a pickup truck – all of the spectators eyes were glued to the action. Blades says the firefighters have decided to hold an open house on the first Sunday of Fire Prevention Week from now on.

Around noon during the open house, firefighters responded to a two-vehicle incident at the intersection of Highway 97 and Tatton Station Road. Then at 1:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a medical callout at 103 Mile. Blades said they cleaned up after the open house and left for home after a very busy weekend.

Ladies make quilts for chemotherapy patients INTERLAKES

Marsha and Dennis McCoy on their 44th wedding anniversary.

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

At the monthly Interlakes quilters’ meeting on Sept. 25, where some 25 residents make quilts to give to each of 100 Mile’s chemotherapy patients, the ladies held a “stripathon,” creating dozens of strips from the scrap bin. Spokesperson Paula Roseboom voiced appreciation to the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) for a $1,500 grant in aid to Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission for free use of the hall, and to Selvedges Fabric & Notions in 100 Mile House for supplies provided at cost. The feedback from both patients and nurses has been very good, and the quilts are very much appreciated.

Great Gift Ideas From

Four Blooms for Clinton

The Village of Clinton received a four-bloom rating and a special mention for the Horticultural Displays and Tidiness at Clinton’s Eco Depot during the 2014 National Symposium and Awards Ceremonies in Charlottetown, PEI. Clinton competed in the Up to 1,000 population category against Arnold’s Cove, Newfoundland Labrador; Kinistino, Saskatchewan; Pugwash, Nova Scotia; and Valhalla Centre, Alberta. “Through their volunteer efforts, Clinton’s Eco Depot staff has created a uniquely attractive approach to their site by repurposing discarded items as planters and yard art,” wrote national volunteer judges Steve Preston and Gail Pearcey. “Colourful displays of annuals welcome site users, the site is extremely tidy, and some users are donating beverage containers which have refundable deposits so that funds can be raised for onsite horticultural needs.”

Tom Turner loves flying in the mornings. On a morning like this, taking off from the South Cariboo Regional Airport with this reporter to his right in the co-pilot seat and nothing but empty blue sky and shining sun above, it’s easy to see why. The pilot goes through his checklist and rolls his Cessna 182 onto the runway. “You ready?” he says. “Let’s get out of here.” On Sept. 20, Turner, a former school principal, is some 6,500 feet over

the Chilcotin, large swaths of green and brown land underneath and a range of Coast Mountains in the distance, heading west from 108 Mile Ranch towards some of the remote region’s biggest lakes. It’s perfect visibility and smooth flying throughout the four-and-a-half hour roundtrip. Turner’s been a pilot for Cariboo Air for three years. Most of what the company does is forest fire patrols and surveying for provincial government ministries. “They want you in the hills and the open country where the people aren’t,”

Turner explains. His job today is counting boats to determine the fishing pressure on more than two dozen lakes. He has flown this route many times this summer, and he says it’s one of his favourite trips. Which is also easy to understand. Flying at this height, over these places – banking overhead the chemical blue Chilko Lake, for instance, or seeing where the Chilcotin River meets the Fraser, or west of Charlotte Lake looking out towards the mountains with snow high at their peaks – is

like flying through postcards. It’s beautiful. And awesome, in a true aweinspiring sort of way. “The country and the places you go are just spectacular,” Turner says. “Today was a deluxe one. The sky was so clear and it wasn’t really bumpy. When you get the clouds down low, you’re sort of dodging rain storms.” Of course, flying isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. The conditions can be nasty, and there are a lot of Is to dot and Ts to cross in the paperwork department. There’s a ton of preparation and maintenance involved, too, and

if you want to be a commercial pilot, like Turner, who got his licence about four years ago after flying more as a hobby for the past 25, that’s another huge step. “All I did was study and fly all day long [during a summer at a school in Pitt Meadows],” he explains. “It was six weeks of 14- to 16-hour days. They want you at a very high standard because you’re now flying passengers. If you’re not doing it perfect, do it again, do it again, do it again.” That is reassuring to hear. Continued on B2

Retired principal flying for Cariboo Air

From B1

Turner, 58, retired from the education field in 2012. Before he started teaching in 100 Mile in 1980, he would come to the South Cariboo on hunting and fishing trips with his dad. He met his wife, Deb, here and they decided to stay. Turner taught for years before going into administration. He was vice-principal at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, principal at 100 Mile Junior Secondary School, the School District #27’s Grow Centre and finally Mile 108 Elementary. He loves retirement, and he loved being an educator. He says teaching is a rewarding career, but only if it’s the career for you. If it’s not, he says, it can be a terrible job. “When you’re dealing with kids, you have to like your job. Otherwise, they’ll drive you nuts real quick. I loved teaching. I was married to a teacher. She loved it as well. It was easy for us. It was a great career.” In the cockpit, Turner thrives on checklists and preparation, which goes back to his days as a teacher, where that system is built on routine and structure, too. “It’s sort of important not to forget anything,” he laughs. In regards to what else he wants to do now in retirement, Turner talks about hunting in the fall, playing as much hockey as he can and spending as much time as possible outdoors, while travelling more with his airplane. In another conversation, Turner mentions that his son Micky, a 20-year-old hockey player for the 100 Mile

But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by — he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened.

There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car.

hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car.
