Future fuzzy for aquatic centre

Carole Rooney Free Press

The results of a telephone poll of a sampling of taxpayers potentially affected by a proposed new aquatic centre will be reviewed at the South Cariboo Joint Committee meeting on Oct. 21. District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall says consideration of the future of the project now lays in the hands of that committee, which is made up of politicians from the municipality and the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), conducted the pool poll through a private survey agency in September. However, with 46 per cent of the 400 poll respondents in favour of the proposal and 40 per cent against it, Campsall adds he doesn’t envision the project going to referendum in its current state. “It’s actually negative; that’s the way I look at it. If we were going to go to a referendum, it would have had to be way higher than that.” A local society, that has been promoting and

Inconclusive findings lead to uncertainty, skepticism

lobbying for an aquatic centre for years, has issued an initial statement about the poll results. “We are very pleased that people have received the information from the South Cariboo Aquatic Society and took the opportunity to answer the survey. “At this time, we find the results are inconclusive and we require more time to analyze the results and meet with the South Cariboo Joint Committee before commenting on any future plans.” While 62 per cent of respondents indicated someone in their household would use a local pool if it was built within the next few years, Campsall says the disparity between this response and the 46 per cent willing to support it financially doesn’t surprise him. “It’s like anything – ‘if it’s here, I’ll use it; do I want to pay for it? No, I don’t’. That’s what that is

telling us.” Of the total respondents, 87 per cent were aware of the aquatic centre proposal, which Campsall notes was somewhat evidenced in some heated debates when the proposal was discussed at public meetings. The mayor adds he thinks the results of the professionally conducted telephone poll are valid. (The report and CRD summary can be read online at www.cariboord.bc.ca.) Since 38 per cent of those against the proposal stated they are undecided if they support a less costly pool project, Campsall explains he “totally agrees” with the CRD’s initial analysis that more details would be required for residents to make an informed decision on that. He notes any decisions will be based on evidenced support, or lack thereof, by the taxpayers affected. “It’s something that has got to be a democratic process. We always look at everything, but for now, I can’t see it going anywhere.”

NDP drills government on LNG

Carole Rooney Free Press

The 2014 throne speech delivered by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon at the launch of the fall legislature session on Oct. 6 highlighted the B.C. Liberal’s view of future liquefied natural gas (LNG) opportunities. In his condemnation of the speech, NDP Leader John Horgan said “Clark has backed down on every major commitment she has made around LNG” because the speech did not reiterate her spring 2013 promises for creating 100,000 jobs and cutting the sales tax. However, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said she thinks government’s vision of the future of LNG in the North remains just as rosy as it was painted last year – despite criticism by the Official Opposition. “It takes time. This is the start of a new era, but it takes a few years to actually have all the investors in place and the facilities in place, and the government is working towards what was in the [2013] throne speech.” In the speech, Guichon said the province has an opportunity to increase revenue with LNG and maintain the same “world-class services” British Columbians rely on, as well as to leave a “worthy” inheritance for their children and grand-

children. “This is a chance – not a windfall. It will not be simply given to us, but achieved after a lot of hard work.” This statement given on behalf of Premier Clark was particularly noted by Horgan, who said the 2013 throne speech touted LNG as “one of the greatest economic opportunities our province has ever seen” has now become “a chance.” After recent indications by one of the top investment groups that shifting conditions could delay its participation, Clark said negotiations continue with Petronas toward the province’s planned LNG facilities, and that her government is “good at negotiating.” However, Horgan labelled Clark’s bargaining for revenue deals with Petronas as “secret negotiations.” “Mr. Horgan, you don’t negotiate in the press,” Barnett said. “Petronas has already invested a few billion dollars in the natural gas industry in the North ... you don’t negotiate any contractual agreements in the [public eye].” The speech’s reference to LNG not being a windfall was pointing to the hard work involved to get the plants up and operating, she explained. Barnett added the NDP has a “mandate to attack” instead of getting on board and co-operating on these opportunities.

CRD AT HEARING The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) was represented at a Sept. 26 public hearing in Williams Lake, one of the 29 hearings being held by the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission. CRD chair Al Richmond says the board’s written submission states the Cariboo-Chilcotin boundaries should be left intact. Staff also delivered the message verbally on behalf of the board at the hearing, as Richmond was occupied at the Union of B.C. Municipalities Conference.

TNRD director stone-walled on 70 km/h request Ken Alexander Free Press

Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Area E Director Sally Watson didn’t have much success trying to convince Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone to reduce the speed limit through 70 Mile House. Watson, who was representing her constituents during the Oct. 24 meeting with Stone at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities Convention, said the meeting didn’t go well. “It was obviously his job to disappoint everybody that day.” The 70 Mile House Safety and Speed Reduction Committee (70MHSSRC) recently sent a petition requesting the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) work with the community to develop and implement infrastructure that will allow safe highway access and travel within

the 2.5-kilometre Highway 97 corridor of the community. Members also want the speed limit reduced to 70 km/h until the safety measures are in place. Watson added the minister said it wasn’t his job to set speed limits, as that is up to the engineers. “I asked if we could have the speed limit lowered until we had the infrastructure in place for us to travel safely throughout our community. And he said ‘no’.” Watson noted that Stone said if they lowered the speed limit, residents would pull out on the highway – thinking that traffic was at 70 km/h and he predicted traffic would be travelling at 102 km/h. She said Stone explained they have done tests and that’s the speed people travel through 70 Mile House, and that would cause accidents. “My answer to him was that people travel at 102 km/h because the speed limit is 100 km/h, and

if we lowered the speed limit, chances are they would travel at 75 km/h.” However, he didn’t believe that people would slow down, Watson said. “Basically, he is saying that because people won’t follow regulations, he’s not going to put in regulations. I told him I was very disappointed and asked him for a timeline for the infrastructure to be in place, and he didn’t have that, so I asked him to give it to the TNRD as soon as he can possibly give it to us.” Noting she has already met with the committee and the members are disappointed in Stone’s comments, Watson said they hope to get some media attention and have meaningful consultation with the ministry because “none of us have seen the complete highways plan for our community.” Watson will be asking the TNRD to write a letter to MOTI asking for the timeline.

While people claim the site is still haunted today, things will get a whole lot more spooky when the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School grads are done with it. A Halloween party for the community, which is a big hit with local families, is set for the old log barn at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 31. Organizer Ingrid Meyer says this will be the first Halloween party with real ghosts. “There is a man standing behind the window,” she says of the ghost “People who drive across the highway have

seen this person, the ghost, standing there. I haven’t seen it, but other people have. There are a lot of spooky things going on.” The PSO grads,

known for their exceptional and chilling haunted house exhibits in past years, are putting together a haunted barn at this year’s event. Admission to their Hillbilly Horror is $5 and it will cost $2 for children under 12 years to enter the special Kids Zone. Otherwise, the event, which is free to attend and goes from 5 to 9 p.m., will also feature games, a bonfire, concession stand and fireworks display. “We’re accepting all the money donations, so we can get for bigger fireworks,” Meyer notes. “We’re also looking for Halloween-related vendors for candies, costumes, games and stuff like that.” Meyer can be contacted at 250-791-5663 for more information.

Chamber of Commerce chair Carl Gimse says everyone directly involved in the planning got on board to unanimously approve keeping the parade as a Friday night event. “We are delighted that the Santa Claus Parade shall continue as it has in the past, and let’s hope everybody will show up and enjoy the event.” The “jolly old elf ” will be joined by several decorated floats with sparkling bright lights and numerous participants in costume from local groups and organizations. Gimse notes the merchants will also hold a Moonlight Madness shopping extravaganza

after the parade. As always, the parade will muster at SaveOn-Foods and then get underway at 5:30 p.m. to head South along Birch Avenue, doubling back via Fifth Street, Cedar Avenue and First Street. Ken Thomas of Work n Play Clothing in 100 Mile House says he is having a Black Friday sales event on Nov. 28, and he encourages other retail merchants to do the same. He adds it’s an opportunity to have another sales event one week after the long-standing tradition of the Moonlight Madness sales, following the annual Santa Claus Parade.

Winter tires: better traction on snowy roads Ken Alexander Free Press

Winter tires are now required on many highways throughout the province until March 31. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) highway signs are posted on each of the designated highways to advise motorists winter tires are required. These are generally located approaching high mountain passes and Interior highways where conditions can change from rain to snow very quickly. Area MOTI district manager Todd Hubner notes winter can strike in this area in a “vengeance,” particularly at the higher mountain passes, such as Mount Begbie at 83 Mile on Highway 97 – from Big Bar through Begbie and up to Hixon. “We are seeing overnight temperature dipping into the negatives,

so it isn’t unforeseen to get snow at this time of the year....” Maps showing which roads require winter tires can be found on the ministry’s web page at http:// www.th.gov.bc.ca./seasonaldriving/ winter-tires-chains/index.html. Winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the winter mountain/snowflake symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) designation. Winter tires must also be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. There is also a new timeframe that winter tires are required on the high mountain passes. The new timeframe is Oct. 1 to March 31 (previously it was Oct. 1 to April 30). The ministry has increased its commitment and funding in support of the multi-agency “Shift into Winter” campaign.

Needed: more climate change honesty

Prime Minister Stephen Harper strikes a strong figure on the world stage these days, doesn’t he? He is swift in condemning the barbarity of ISIS terrorists and the aggressive unilateralism of Russia; steadfast in defence of Arctic sovereignty; resolute in his uncritical support of Israel; and determined not to attend the Meeting of Leaders at the United Nations Climate Summit. Surely, there is more to strength than simply a stubborn refusal to change one’s simple tune. Are a more balanced approach to Palestine and a little more genuine leadership on climate issues too much to ask for? From this government, apparently, it is. The UN Climate Summit is intended to “galvanize and catalyze climate action” in advance of the Paris Conference of the Parties climate talks in 2015 during which countries will form

GUEST SHOT

here will only be two races for the Nov. 15 municipal elections in the our neck of the woods. That’s because the two School District #27 trustees in our area – Chris Pettman and Tanya Guenther – were unopposed. The same is true for the Cariboo Regional District seats in our area – Al Richmond and Margo Wagner - were not challenged, and newcomer Brian Coakley was the lone candidate for the seat vacated by Director Bruce Rattray. This is a sign that either the incumbents did good work during their terms, or there is a lack of interest in local politics. While we believe the local politicians worked hard, the low turnout for the last municipal election – around 32 per cent – shows the interest isn’t too keen. Winning seats by acclamation or no opposition is really unfortunate because it means there will be no debate about local education or regional district issues. It also means folks won’t have an opportunity to attend an all-candidates forum to get answers for pressing issues in those local governments in the run up to the election. However, we can always talk to them directly, through letters or at town-hall meetings – of course, we would have to show up to those meetings. However, there are a couple of races for seats at the District of 100 Mile House council table, and the election campaigns should be interesting. Maureen Pinkney is taking another run at the mayor’s seat, as she goes up against Mitch Campsall again. John McCarvill, Peter Reid and Rita Giesbrecht will be trying to dislodge incumbent councillors Dave Mingo, Bill Hadden, Ralph Fossum and Spence Henderson. Folks should definitely be paying attention to the 100 Mile Free Press to read what these candidates are saying and what they see as the important issues, the changes they would like to make and how they propose to pay for those changes. We will also have to listen carefully to what they say at the All Candidates Forum being sponsored by the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce. The forum will be held at the Valley Room behind The Lodge/Red Coach Inn on Nov. 4, starting at 7 p.m. The Chamber wants the public to send questions – on issues and priorities – that will be presented to the candidates. Send them to manager@southcaribooch amber.org, or mail them to PO Box 2312, 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2EO. The Free Press would also like readers’ questions to ask the candidates for our special Municipal Elections pages, so please send your questions to newsroom@100milefreepress.net, or drop them off at our office at #3 Pinkney Complex.

was because of the 2008 recession, some decline of heavy industry, Ontario’s reduction of coal-fired power, and climate policies in British Columbia and Quebec. Mr. Harper’s adoption of U.S. vehicle regulations will have only a small effect by 2020. So, the Harper government won’t achieve the 2020 target, even though it still pretends that it will. And it won’t admit that one of the principal reasons that Environment Canada is predicting Canadian emissions in 2020 will exceed the target by at least 20 per cent is the government’s own promotion of oil sands development and pipelines in all directions. But honesty in climate change policy has not been the forte of Canadian governments, whether Liberal or Conservative.

Opinion

Prairie farmers disenfranchised To the editor: W.C. Fields’ line “Never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump” has never been better executed than by the federal Conservative government and their farmer-disenfranchisement policies. Their first move upon election in 2006 was to tear up the farmerrailcar agreement. This agreement would have given farmers a place at the grain transportation table, and while it wouldn’t have solved all the marketing problems from

last year, it would have at least given farmers a look behind the curtain. This move was followed by taking away the community pasture network that farmers have relied on for decades, destroying the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration and the tree nursery, vaporizing the support that farmers had through the marginbased Agristability program, and weakening the Canadian Grain Commission. In parallel was the defunding

and destruction of the grain varietal development and research capacity – and this at a time when the world’s population has never been higher and the climate has increasing variability. Decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was next – farmers were disenfranchised and not allowed to vote on the matter, according to the existing law. Taxpayers were billed an unnecessary $349 million in 2011, and the $16 billion world-leading exporter was reduced from a business to

Great sailing aboard Nimpkish To the editor: I am writing regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, headlined Bleak summer for coastal ferry remake, on page A9 of your Sept. 3 edition. My grandson and I took the ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola on Aug. 19. The leg from Port Hardy to Bella Bella on the Northern Expedition was like taking a Vancouver Island-mainland ferry, all the services, over-priced shops, etc. (except Wi-Fi) with boring wide expanses of water and an occasional lighthouse. After we unloaded at Bella Bella and the Nimpkish pulled in, my grandson and I were very leery of the trip onward. What a surprise was in store. The journey to Bella Coola was a wonderful experience, with only about 25 people on board. The passengers mingled and chatted, exchanging observations, family stories and

discussing the wonderful scenery. The captain and crew went to great lengths to entertain us and we were informed of the surroundings, the possible sightings of wildlife, etc. We were able to stand at the bow in the sunshine and light breeze or on the aft lounge in the protection of the superstructure. The ferry actually stopped close to shore while we were taking photos of petroglyphs. We stopped again at the Alexander MacKenzie Rock, while the captain gave a history and provided a large photograph to allow us to pick out the Canadian Heritage artifact. When we debarked at Bella Coola, the passengers gathered, thanked and congratulated the crew on the voyage. Services were minimal, but free snacks and soft drinks were available, and no one starved. George Morrow Qualicum Beach

a political manoeuvre with a few hundred million in assets. Predictably, the destruction of orderly marketing through the real CWB cost farmers $4 billion in lost income for the 2013 crop (money that ended up in grain company pockets, lost sales and demurrage charges), and the government now refuses to publish any financial reports for the Ritz-run CWB since 2012. With financial cover-ups and fast-tracking the give-away of farmer-paid CWB assets, it looks

like the government is trying to bury a dead skunk as fast as they can. An agriculture minister from Ontario or B.C. could not have accomplished this much destruction. No, the minister had to be a short-term thinker from the Prairies where Conservative votes could be taken for granted. Somewhere W.C Fields is feeling warm and fuzzy all over again. Stewart Wells Swift Current, Sask.

Liberals don't like Tories EI credit To the editor: Over the summer, Canadians at community events across the country gave Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau a clear message: they are not feeling any relief from the feeble economic recovery. Under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada has had the worst economic growth of any prime minister since R.B. Bennett. In the past year, a meagre 81,000 jobs have been created and more than 80 per cent were part-time – with poorer job quality, lower wages and less security. In light of this, the Conservatives’ recently announced an Employment Insurance (EI) credit for small businesses. However,

this credit will not encourage the hiring of new workers or produce the growth struggling middle-class Canadians need. In fact, only businesses with EI taxes below $15,000 will see any savings – creating an incentive for businesses to fire workers. The plan only encourages businesses to stay small and punishes them if they grow and are successful. There’s still time for the government to choose a better way. For instance, Liberals are proposing an EI premium exemption for every newly hired worker, which for $225 million could produce over 176,000 new jobs. Canadians deserve a plan for jobs and growth. The Conservatives’ EI plan pro-

vides neither. As Parliament returns, Canadians expect their political leaders to address issues like these head-on. Mr. Trudeau and his caucus have listened, and are focused on helping the middle class prosper and creating a plan that will deliver real economic growth. That means fixing EI – and increasing investment in infrastructure and education, and expanding trade. We need to get more Canadians hired and create new jobs – this is the only way that we can grow the middle class and expand opportunities for Canadian families. Dominic LeBlanc, MP Liberal Party of Canada House Leader

BC VIEWS

hree years ago, longtime chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial governments should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.” Last week, Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa. They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with selfgovernment. The Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now. All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial

negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations – Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them – that are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

the province Animals seized from Vernon area home VERNON - Fourteen dogs and two horses were seized from a home in the Vernon area following a cruelty investigation. They are now at the Penticton SPCA, and staff hope most of them can be adopted soon. “With the care that was needed for all these animals, with the resources they had, they just couldn’t meet those requirements right now,” said Corinne Ross, Penticton branch manager, adding it appears the former owners were in over their heads. Included in the pack of 14 dogs were two adult rottweilers and a dozen carlin pinschers, which are a small breed that resembles a mini-rotweiller. Of the 12 small dogs, four are puppies about five weeks old, while the rest, including their mother, are adults. “They are pretty scared, so some of them are going to be more difficult to adopt than others,” said Ross, adding the animals are all in fair physical condition. Kamloops cat killer escapes jail sentence KAMLOOPS - A Kamloops man who was convicted of killing his pet cat has avoided a jail sentence. Steven Seidel was convicted in June of causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal. Court heard Seidel strangled the cat, named Oreo, out of anger in March 2013, in part because the animal was urinating and defecating in the apartment he was sharing with his then-pregnant girlfriend. In handing down his sentence yesterday (Oct. 9), Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley cited the notoriety of Seidel’s case as a mitigating factor. “The publicity has been clear and strong and I know it’s not over,” he said. Seidel was placed on a nine-month conditional-sentence order — a jail sentence served in the community. For four months, Seidel will have to abide by a strict curfew. He also has to complete 40 hours of community service by January. In addition, he will be banned from owning animals for five years. A petition seeking harsh punishment for Seidel collected 32,000 signatures.

RCMP members deal with two fires

Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 72 complaints and calls for service during the past week. On Oct. 13, Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue and 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of structure fire on Ridgeview Road.

A structure on the property was engulfed in flames and burned to the ground. The fire is being treated as suspicious at this time, and the investigation into this incident is continuing. Anyone who may have observed suspicious activity in the Ridgeview Road area overnight is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Carole Rooney photo

100 Mile House Fire-Rescue crews quickly doused a fire that had fully engulfed an older model pickup truck parked close to a home on Flaherty Road at 93 Mile on Oct. 8. Chief Darrell Blades later reported the fire appears to have been caused by a bucket of hot ashes left in the bed of the truck.

Burning trailer On Oct. 11, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a burning B train chip truck on Highway 97 north of Lac la Hache. The contents of the rear trailer had ignited approximately one mile north of Maze Lake Road. The driver had managed to uncouple the trailer and move it to safety. The south bound lane was blocked while the trailer burnt. Several grass fires were ignited but the responding officers were able to put them out until forests ministry officials were able to attend with a fire crew. 100 Mile RCMP members remained at the scene until Williams Lake RCMP members were able to attend and take over the scene. Traffic remained open to single-lane alternating traffic until the debris was cleared from the road Saturday afternoon.

Impaired driver On Oct 10, CaribooChilcotin Traffic Services members were dispatched to a complaint of a possible impaired driver in the vicinity of Lac la Hache who had done “donuts” in a gravel parking lot. The suspect vehicle

was located a short distance away and the driver’s identity was verified by witnesses. The male driver displayed symptoms of impairment. He was arrested at the scene after a short struggle. Continued on A12

Metastatic breast cancer is currently considered an incurable disease that may be controlled through treatment, though survival rates remain low. “While some women affected by metastatic breast cancer are living longer, there is still a significant need for more research, resources and new available treatment options,” said Cathy Ammendolea, chair of the Canadian Breast Cancer Network (CBCN). “No matter where people are located within this country, it is important for them to feel supported and part of a greater network of Canadians who are facing similar challenges in understanding and managing their metastatic breast cancer.” There are four main types of breast cancer. An important first step is to determine human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) and hormone receptor (HR) statuses of the breast tumour cells so that treatment can be optimized.

Metastatic breast cancer (referred to as stage 4 breast cancer) is the most serious form of the disease and occurs when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, most commonly the bones, liver, lungs and brain. Approximately 30 per cent of those initially diagnosed with earlier stages of breast cancer later develop recurrent and/or metastatic disease. Each day in Canada, more than three women will receive their first breast cancer diagnosis of locally advanced and/or meta-

Breast exams available in 100 Mile The Mobile Mammography Van will be at the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre at 501 Cedar Ave. in 100 Mile House from Nov. 27 to Dec. 2. Clients will be taken from 8:20 a.m. to 5:40 p.m., but they must book an appointment at 1-800-663-9203. When they show up at the van, they will have to produce their Care Card and photo ID. What is a mammogram Here is how to prepare for a mammogram, and what to expect during X-rays. Mammograms are X-rays of the breasts that are done in complete privacy by a specially trained female technologist. A screening mammogram consists of four images (two of each breast) that look for hidden cancer in women who are healthy (no symptoms) and have never had breast cancer. The Screening Mammography Program (SMP) of BC offers screening mammograms to eligible women in British Columbia. A diagnostic mammogram consists of additional images from several angles and is used for women who are experiencing breast symptoms (such as a lump, unusual nipple discharge or pain), women who have had breast cancer, and women with breast implants. Talk to your health-care provider for more information.

Five • Maintain a healthy body weight. • Maintain an active lifestyle. • Limit alcohol consumption. • Breastfeed if possible. • Weigh the risks and benefits of hormone therapy. Plus • Be aware of the look and feel of your breasts so you notice any changes. • Talk to your doctor about booking a mammogram every two years if you are between the ages of 50 to 74. Mammograms for women age 40-49 or over 74 can also be considered. The Five Plus actions

are based on current research and were developed by a team of B.C.’s foremost experts in breast health. The website, www. fiveplusbc.ca, contains detailed information about how these five risk factors affect breast

health and how best to detect breast cancer early. Led by the BC Cancer Agency, the Five Plus initiative is a part of the Provincial Breast Health Strategy, which unites various health agencies and

partners to improve breast cancer screening, diagnosis and prevention across B.C. Project partners include Ministry of Health, the Provincial Health Services Authority (and its agencies the BC

Dear Canimites, Whoever said “wood warms you twice” obviously didn’t heat with it. At a minimum, you have to lift the stuff eight times: on and off the truck, on and off the splitter, in and out of the wood shed, and into and out of the wood box. If you are using dry pine and my math is right, you lift over nine tons of weight for every cord you burn – no wonder we are all such magnificent specimens. Now, if you are using even heavier Douglasfir, you, my friend, are the person I will be very polite to.

Stand-up comedian coming to CCLF comedian in an on-stage world of blue humour. He has performed on Just for Laughs in Montreal, hosted the Comedy Tournament in Canada, the Halifax Comedy Fest this year and has appeared on several television programs over the years – CBC TV, YTV and Global. CCLF Pastor Rick

Barker, organizer of the event, says Klassen’s family-friendly routines regularly poke fun at his obvious awkwardness, attempts at working out, life at home and being a dad, as well other dayto-day activities. “Anytime Leland comes through town I will book him. Being able to bring your whole family to a stand-up

comedian show is rare nowadays. “You never know what you’re going to get when they start ad-libbing. But with Leland, you always know it’s going to be clean, and it’s always going to be funny.” The show, which will be sponsored in part by World Vision, includes a three-minute plug for

STARRY NIGHT 2014!

PUBLIC NOTICE Beginning on Friday, October 17, Spectra Energy will be depressurizing its 36-inch natural gas pipeline in the 100 Mile area using an incinerator. The incineration site is located near the Traveler’s Mobile Home Park on Horse Lake Road. The depressurization is scheduled to last approximately three days. The incinerator makes minimal noise and produces a flame that will be visible at night. This method provides 99.9% combustion efficiency, minimizing the amount of natural gas released. A final purging of the pipeline, expected during the depressurization, will occur at the incinerator location once the majority of the gas has been incinerated. Purging is a standard procedure that may last up to a day, making a high-pitched noise as the remaining quantity of gas disperses safely into the atmosphere. A second, three-day incineration on Spectra Energy’s 30-inch natural gas pipeline is planned for Thursday, October 30 at the same location. Spectra Energy apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. For more information, please contact Sadie Cox, Community Coordinator, at 250-373-7033 or mcox@spectraenergy.com.

larly, it's time to have the front-end checked by a professional. Another way to spot steering system wear is by leaks seen around the system or on the pavement. You might notice your power steering system requires more liquid top-ups than usual. The steering system is composed of a lot of moving parts that not only wear out but also have to sustain major impacts. Though such

a system is made of fairly solid metals, there are some bushings and other softer parts that wear out faster. Today, most cars and light trucks have rack-and-pinion steering systems that can be replaced by remanufactured parts. That can make the repair less expensive. Nevertheless, there are other parts that will need to be checked, such as tie rod ends and many others.

fall & winter wheels Does your car sound haunted

alloween is the time of year for squeals, squeaks, screeches and things that go bump in the night, but when these eerie and haunted sounds come from your car, it’s time for maintenance. Noise is to the vehicle what pain is to the body: a warning. According to Be Car Care Aware Canada, the following strange and scary noises are clues that trouble is brewing within your car and that it should be checked out by an automotive repair technician. • Squeal: A sharp noise that usually means a problem with the brakes or the power steering, fan or air conditioning belt. The entire brake system should be checked every year, including brake linings, rotors and drums. Belts should be inspected every three months or 5,000-8,000 kilometres. • Screech: A sound typically caused by brake wear indicators that tell you it’s time for maintenance. Brakes are a normal wear item for any car and eventually they’re going to need to be replaced for both performance and safety reasons. • Squeaks: A number of things can cause squeaks, including belts, the water pump or alternator bearings or a pulley. Belts should be replaced when cracked, frayed, glazed or showing signs of excessive wear. And water pumps, tensioners, idlers and alternators all have bearings that can fail and “squeak,” all of which should be checked. • Bang: A backfire, which can be caused by lean air/fuel ratio, an ignition malfunction and/or a mechanical failure. • Grinding (a metalon-metal grating noise): A sound that is related to the brake linings. The brake system is

Frank says they service most makes and models and their four-bay shop can be conveniently accessed from the Highway on the 99 Mile Hill.

your car’s most important safety system and needed repairs should never be put off. • Heavy knock: A pounding sound that is usually connecting rod

or main bearing failures which are caused by excessive wear. • Thump: A sound that usually means there’s a problem with the tires. To maximize

tire life and safety, check tire condition and inflation pressure every three months or 5,000 kilometres, and have the tires rotated and balanced.

CHECK COOLANT BEFORE WINTER

• Clang: Gears will make a “clanging” noise when there is excessive “lash” (movement generally describes as “play”). It’s the kind of noise that accompanies one component being allowed to move because of excessive play and the abrupt halt it comes to when encountering the resistance of the part that didn’t move when it was supposed to. • Metallic ticking: Also often associated with excessive play in valve train components. These sounds need not scare you, but they should motivate you to have the car looked at because everyone should feel safe, not just on Halloween, but every night. Source: Be Care Care Aware Canada

How do I build a gravel driveway? Building a gravel driveway is not as easy or cheap as it might sound. Several factors are involved when creating this kind of parking space for your vehicles. When done correctly, a gravel driveway doesn’t require more maintenance than other types of driveways. Have a question? Get an answer from a handyman now! Things You’ll Need: Tape measure, shovel, scalpings Instructions: 1. Measure the length and width of the driveway you want to create and multiply one by the other to get the square footage. 2. Decide how deep you want the gravel to be. 3. Multiply your depth (in feet) by the square footage to get the cubic feet of gravel needed. 4. Figure out how many tons of gravel you will need for your driveway by multiplying your cubic yards by 1.5. This is how many tons you need to build your driveway properly. 5. Dig out the area where the driveway will be laid. If you find any soft spots, dig

out the dirt until you hit a hard surface. Otherwise you will end up with ditches in your driveway as the gravel settles. 6. Get scalpings for a base to your driveway. Scalping can be purchased relatively cheaply from a stone quarry. It is the leftover residue from an excavation job. 7. Rent a vibrating plate to stamp down the dirt before the scalping is delivered. If you do not use the vibrating plate to stamp down the soft portions of the driveway, you eventually will have sagging. 8. Level the scalping with a rake or shovel. 9. Purchase the gravel you need and level it out on your driveway. Tips & Warnings • One cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. • You can pick gravel in a variety of shades and styles. Visit several stores to see what they offer. • You may need more gravel for areas that slope or have holes. • Remember you want the gravel compacted down so rainwater runoff won’t ruin the driveway.

Wranglers ride learning curve

Gaven Crites Free Press

Coach Dale Hladun took the rough ride in stride. The 100 Mile House Wranglers lost 3-1 to the Sicamous Eagles on Oct. 11 and 7-5 to the Princeton Posse on Oct. 10. But the 0-2 weekend wasn't all bad, and it's early, the coach notes. He saw some good things the team can build from. “I'm not happy with two losses, but I do think the learning curve is getting better,” says Hladun. “We're within our first 10 games of the year. We still have 43 games left. Every game is developing.” Goalie Quinn Ferris started both games for 100 Mile House, with starter Kristian Stead out of town backing up the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League. Hladun expects Stead back this weekend. The Wranglers (4-5) face the Nelson Leafs (7-2-2) at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Oct. 17. Then the club plays the Chase Heat (3-5-1-2) at a neutral site in Quesnel on Oct. 18 before returning to 100 Mile to host the Heat on Oct. 19. Ferris, a 17-year-old rookie out of Prince George, made 20 saves on 23 shots in the loss to Sicamous (6-6). Ferris struggled some

100 Mile House Wranglers forward Nick McCabe chased Princeton Posse defenceman Trevor Pereverzoff into the corner when the teams met in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Oct. 10.

against Princeton (5-31-2) the night before, and the coach says he settled in better against the Eagles. “He has to face the fire no matter what,” Hladun says. “He's young. He's got to learn too.” The Wranglers fired 34 shots at Eagles goalie Olivier Charest, but only Austin Turner (from Jayden Syrota and Brett Harris) got one past him on the power play, tying the game 1-1 in the second period before Sicamous scored

twice more to seal the victory on home ice. “I thought we did everything right but win,” says Hladun. “We outplayed them. I thought our power play was moving the puck well. We just didn't score.” Forward Lane van de Wetering, last season's most sportsmanlike player in the Doug Birks Division in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, was out of the lineup serving a one game suspension he earned with

two 10-minute misconduct penalties against Princeton. That game on Oct. 10 against the Posse was a heated one at times and some of the Wranglers were, especially early on, visibly frustrated on the ice. “It's a lesson we need to learn,” the coach explains. “You can't start being distracted on things you can't control – whether it's a ref 's call or an opponent got away with a slash. If you're going to chase those kinds of things

around, it affects you.” The Wranglers were down 5-1, with a goal by A. Turner (from Devan Suidy and Nick Headrick), heading into the final period. They nearly came back to tie, getting as close as 6-5, before Princeton found the empty net. In a seven minute span, Headrick (from Syrota and Suidy), Michael Lynch (from Syrota and Brady Ward), Brett Harris (from Syrota), and A. Turner (from Syrota and Stephen Egan) scored

for 100 Mile House in the third period. “We had a little adversity there,” says Hladun, who coached Princeton for nine seasons before coaching in Fernie last year and taking the reins behind the Wranglers' bench. “The guys seemed to get more wound up with the officiating and little stuff behind the play as opposed to playing hockey. I think once they addressed that and got in the zone a bit, you saw we put in a pretty good effort.”

'Once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for resident Community-minded mom named Canada Winter Games torchbearer

Local resident Bev Fry is set to carry the torch celebrating the start of the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in northern British Columbia. Fry is one of 123 torchbearers chosen of over 400 nominations ahead of the 2015 Canada Winter Games, which take place in Prince George, Feb. 13 to March 1. Torch relays will be held in the host community, Terrace, Fort. St. John

and Quesnel, where Fry is running representing the Central Interior. “I think I was more shocked and humbled at the same time,” Fry says of hearing the news. “It's an honour.” The Winter Games will see 2,400 athletes from all over Canada aged 12 to 35 competing in 19 sports. The torch relay is about recognizing exceptional community members. Fry is a longtime volunteer in the

100 Mile House area. Currently, she runs a drop-in hockey program in Lac la Hache and volunteers serving a hot breakfast at Lac la Hache Elementary School. Throughout the years, along with her husband Rob, she has been active in countless community events. “Our family has always been involved in a lot of stuff,” she explains. “It's part of what we do. It's pretty

cool to be honoured for something like this. In regards to giving your time, that's basically one of the best gifts, I think, you can give somebody.” It will be decades before the Canada Winter Games return to B.C. “I think it's going to be a really cool experience, kind of like one of those once-in-a-lifetime things,” Fry notes. “Because the next time it comes around I might be a little old lady.”

SLED DOG Races Organizers of an annual sled dog race in the 100 Mile House area want to expand the event. A winter carnival weekend is being proposed in conjunction with the 2015 Cariboo Challenge, which runs at the 108 Heritage Site in January and saw dozens of mushers and dog teams compete last winter. A meeting is scheduled Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. at the Hills Health Ranch for anyone interested in volunteering their time or ideas.

Soccer association building committee, needs volunteers for provincial cup

Gaven Crites

Mile & District Soccer Association has formerly applied to the CSA with the hopes of hosting one of the Group C teams, which are playing their first round of matches in Vancouver on June 8. Groups will be drawn

Organizers have got the ball rolling for a big provincial soccer tournament kicking off in 100 Mile House next summer. The 100 Mile & District Soccer Association is looking for volunteers to fill an organizing committee and looking to field at least two local teams for the 2015 U13-U15 Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup. A couple dozen teams from all around the province are expected to compete here in July 2015. “There are probably very volunteer-minded people that are not in the soccer community that would like to be part of a big event,” says Werner Heine, a soccer association spokesperson. “[Organizing] will probably be less painful for us now than back in 2011 [when 100 Mile House hosted U15 boys and girls provincial tournaments] because everything was new then. "We're basically following the pattern we had in 2011 because it was very successful.” Three boys divisions are taking the field – U13, U14 and U15. However, it's recently been learned that female players can join the boys teams for the tournament, which bodes well for 100 Mile House's target of having at least two local teams competing. Anyone interested in volunteering or being a part of this big event can contact the 100 Mile & District Soccer Association at 250-6442135 or visit the website w w w.100mi les o ccer .com for more information. Meanwhile, the local soccer association, in conjunction with the Hills Health Ranch, has thrown 100 Mile House's hat in the ring to host a qualifying FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 team for pre-tournament prepa-

in December and teams are expected to choose host communities after that. Needless to say, it presents a great opportunity to showcase the 100 Mile House area. “That would be a big deal for us,” adds Heine.

legal action against the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) and FIFA because of their decision to play the tournament on artificial turf instead of natural grass – which the players say is dangerous, changes the game and is discrimination based on gender – the 100

Club and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations were on hand to ceremonially cut through a banner and tour the area, local resident Kelly De La Mare happened to be coming off the trail that morning. De La Mare, who had heavy duty tires on his wheelchair, says the trail is in good condition and can be navigated with smaller tires as well. Speaking before the official unveiling, Steve Law

of the Hun City Mountain Bike Club mentioned the trail already sees a number of visitors everyday, averaging close to 1,000 a year. “Our club is very excited to showcase the new fully accessible trail,” Law says. “We would like to thank all of our partners who joined us in making this trail a reality. People who could not previously experience this area are now included and will enjoy this beautiful trail.” Continued on B2

Low Mobility Trail about improving quality of life

From B1

The trail, six-feet wide and packed with crushed gravel, stops at the Nordic Beanstalk Cabin. It features picnic tables and benches along its route and four viewpoints, including one that overlooks a wetland, and another providing an expansive view of 100 Mile House and Stephenson Lake. CRD chair and Electoral Area G Director Al Richmond helped cut the banner with District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. “This is the next step in making the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair accessible tourism destinations in the

world,” Richmond says in a news release. “Projects such as the 99 Mile Low Mobility Trail show what can be accomplished through regional collaboration and commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and visitors of all abilities.” The trail, located a short climb up 99 Mile Hill just south of 100 Mile House, was built in partnership between the CRD, the Hun City Mountain Bike Club, the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development through the BC Community Recreation Program, the Northern Development Initiative Trust and the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action

Coalition. In a news release, Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes says its completion represents one of more than a dozen accessible trail upgrades in the Cariboo region supported with a grant of $401,250 through the Community Recreation Program. “The CRD is to be applauded for making wheelchair accessible trails a priority,” Oakes says. “For people with mobility issues, providing accessibility is more than just creating smoother pathways. It’s about opening up opportunities to participate more fully in life.”

On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behaviour have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION
