Local trades training centre discussed

Carole Rooney Free Press

At its Oct. 21 meeting, the South Cariboo Joint Committee discussed the ongoing work for a potential post-secondary training centre in 100 Mile House. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond, who co-chairs the committee with District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall, noted there is some key support out there for the project. The joint committee has already approached Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and had a good initial response, he said. “We have been looking at having a [trades] training centre here, and the need to do some sort of economic development/capacity building exercise going with TRU and the school district and ourselves in order to try it to bring it here.” He added it was “unfortunate” the School District #27 (SD27) trustee slated to go over the plan at the last meeting could not attend, when

Joint committee pursues potential education facility

TRU Williams Lake director Ray Sanders was present. “Ray Sanders was ... quite excited by what was being suggested and encouraged us to work together with Jeannie North from Northern Development Initiative Trust [NDIT], and to move it forward as an initiative for this year to try to look at how we can and flesh something out. “Then we’ll go forward to utilize ... the shops at the 100 Mile House Junior Secondary.” Campsall interjected “... we are hoping.” So, Richmond clarified it is, indeed, just one of the facility options the committee is looking at. “The feeling was that, between the two, [NDIT] and TRU, we could cost-share this and get it going.” Councillor Ralph Fossum asked what was needed to keep the momentum going. Richmond replied some SD 27 trustee engagement was needed before anything could be

presented to the SD27 board. “There have been tours of the [junior secondary] facility by the school district, by CRD staff, by District staff, by TRU in the past. So, they were familiar with the concept and know what were talking about. “So, TRU was very excited and NDIT was very encouraging to try and move forward some kind of initiative, to get something down [in writing] that could be considered by NDIT and by TRU for presentation as a business case.” Noting this project has been going on for some time, Coun. Dave Mingo asked for confirmation that SD27 board support would be obtained before “a whole bunch” money has been spent on it. Richmond replied that no funds will be allocated until all these organizations are on board with the initiative. Campsall added that school board support is still needed before the District and CRD staff can do much more work on the initiative. “We know the school district is on board with it; now, we have got to get the trustees on board.”

FAST bytes ELECTION FORUM

Led by Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House president Bob Wangensteen, front left, and Pastor Gary Forsyth front right, several members of the community sang O Canada at the beginning of the vigil at the local Cenotaph on Oct. 25. The vigil was held to honour the two Armed Forces members – Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent – who were killed in eastern Canada last week.

A municipal allcandidates forum is happening in the Valley Room on Nov. 4, starting at 7 p.m. Voters are encouraged to show up to ask the tough questions that matter to the municipality before the upcoming District of 100 Mile House elections. Candidates running for mayor or councillor positions will answer questions from the floor, and a selection from the questions that have come in prior to the forum by e-mail to manager@south cariboochamber.org.

‘A great debt of gratitude’

TRAINING DISABLED

Chris Nickless photo

Gaven Crites Free Press

The mood was solemn at a ceremony in 100 Mile House on Oct. 25 to honour two Canadian soldiers killed in separate attacks recently. Legion Branch #260 paid tribute to Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, 53, who was killed in a hit-and-run in Quebec on Oct. 20, and to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, who was shot and killed while on honorary guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa two days later. In attendance was Bob Wangensteen, Legion Branch #260 president, and Gary Forsyth, pastor of Bethel Chapel in 100 Mile

House and the Legion Branch #260 chaplain. The ceremony was about honouring the commitment of those two men in uniform, he says. “That’s the reason why they were attacked – because of the uniforms. And yet they willingly put those uniforms on. Just for the sake of that, we owe them a great debt of gratitude.” A second soldier was injured in the same hit-and-run incident which killed Vincent. The man responsible, Martin Couture-Rouleau, was then shot by police following a car chase. Cirillo was shot by Michael ZehafBibeau, before the gunman entered Parliament, fired dozens of shots and died in a gunfight with security

and RCMP members. Both attackers were Canadian citizens and known to authorities. The federal government says the attacks were linked to “terrorist” ideology. The events followed the Canadian government’s decision to join the war in Iraq against militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS). Along with the solemn atmosphere at the ceremony in 100 Mile House was a sense of astonishment with the seemingly senseless and sudden acts of violence, explains Forsyth. “When you think about someone putting their life on the line for their country, [you think] it’s going to be on a battlefield some place, not when you’re doing your daily

routine in your hometown. This was something different.” Wangensteen says the “war on terror” has come to Canada. “Canada is not somewhere where this doesn’t happen anymore. Let’s hope that it’s nothing worse than what it is. But you can always just wait and see for that.” With Remembrance Day around the corner, both men stress the importance of supporting and recognizing Canadian veterans. “[It’s important] people remember why we live the life we do,” says Wangensteen. “And the people who have sacrificed and made the ultimate sacrifice for us to have all these freedoms, rights and privileges we do.”

with the sort of significant gunfire that was happening right outside the door from where we were, we weren’t sure if there was many, many, or what the situation was, so they had to secure the entire precinct.” The gunman, armed with a rifle, shot soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo twice at point-blank range as he was standing guard at the nearby National War Memorial. Cirillo died in hospital shortly afterward. As the day progressed, MPs learned that Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers fired a shot that stopped and killed the gunman, who was later identified as 32-year-old Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. House of Commons Security Services Const. Samearn Son suffered a gun shot wound to the leg during the attack, and two others

had minor injuries. McLeod explains when the lockdown ended around 7:45 p.m., she and other MPs were transported by bus to a safe location and then returned for a sitting the following day (Oct. 23). Noting there is “heightened, heavy security” in the interim, she says that is only temporary, but a full crime-scene investigation into what happened will reveal if any longterm changes are required. The violent attack followed a tragedy two days before in Quebec where a man deliberately drove a car into two soldiers, killing Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. McLeod adds these are both “very despicable” acts that have rightfully outraged and appalled Canadians. Preventing these types of murders has been in the works in terms of

additional legislation around terrorism, and to give the modern tools to the agencies that need them, she explains. Meanwhile, McLeod appears to not be too worried about her own security. “We have to keep this in perspective. It was certainly a very frightening incident, but I feel so blessed to live in Canada, where we live in relative safety compared to many other parts of the world....” She adds there were “very impressive” speeches made by all the leaders when Parliament resumed. The whole House of Commons also stood and applauded Vickers – who is also head of parliamentary security – as he routinely carried in the ceremonial mace about 24 hours after the horrific incident began.

Terror in the House of Commons

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod was in Parliament when the vicious attack occurred that led to a volley of gunfire and left two dead on the morning of Oct. 22. “We first heard sort of a loud blast. There has been a lot of construction [going on] and so I think for many of us it was ‘oh, what is that’? “Then we heard rapid gunfire, so certainly for the first while, before we got an idea of what was going on, it was very frightening.” An all-day lock-down was implemented that kept the MPs in the chamber, with furniture piled up against bolted doors. “Of course, we now know that it was a solitary perpetrator.

70 Mile House gets flashing amber light

Ken Alexander Free Press

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) delivered on a promise, made earlier this year, to install a flashing amber light at the intersection of Highway 97 and North Bonaparte Road in 70 Mile House. The 70 Mile House Safety and Speed Reduction Committee (70MHSSRC) is grateful, committee member Tom Grantham says, adding it will help alert motorists there is an

intersection at this location. Lighted corner markers have also been installed at this intersection, which are also appreciated, Grantham notes. He adds the lighted markers help identify where the turn lanes are located. However, the 70MHSSRC would also like to see if lighted markers could be installed at the other major accesses onto Highway 97, such as Willow, and Maple streets and the north

Local company preparing for potential liquefied natural gas boom Gaven Crites Free Press

The prospect of thousands of new jobs in an emergent liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in British Columbia has at least one local company preparing to fill some of those positions. Scott Robinson, of Brad Pattison Contracting Ltd. (BPC), was in attendance at a recent South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce luncheon in 100 Mile House where Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier spoke about business opportunities surrounding LNG. Robinson says BPC, which specializes in mining and mill construction and maintenance, is ready to take advantage of those opportunities. “We’ve made some contacts both with First Nations and with the big companies involved. We’re making initial contact telling them what we can supply for manpower and skill sets. We’re starting the ball rolling.” BPC employs workers in a number of trades, such as millwrights and welders, for jobs all over B.C. and the Yukon, including a large number locally. As part of LNG industry development, construction and maintenance jobs in northern B.C. will mean more jobs in the South

access to the post office and 70 Mile General Store. The committee recently sent a petition requesting the 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. Committee members also want the speed limit reduced to 70 km/h until the safety measures are in place. One comment from a local resident noted there should be minimal cost associated

with making this 2.5km corridor safe, - just painting lines on the highway to indicate turning lanes, and slowing the traffic so that drivers have more reaction time, he explains. “We realize the answer to our safety concerns are not this simplistic, as the shoulders that exist at present would not support further lane expansion, but slowing the traffic through this corridor would bring the safety levels up. “Many residents are commenting on the increased heavy truck traffic this month. Local concerns are the high

Free vaccinations available in November

Flu season is on the way and Interior Health (IH) is gearing up to help protect children, pregnant women, seniors, people with chronic illnesses, and others who are most at risk from influenza (flu) and its complications. Influenza is a significant illness that, at minimum, can make

people quite sick for several days. People with influenza can also spread the virus to others who are at greater risk. For those with heart, lung, and other health problems, influenza can cause severe complications and even death. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that every year

about 3,500 Canadians die from influenza complications. Influenza is often confused with less severe viruses that cause common colds or stomach flu (vomiting and diarrhea). There are no vaccines for these milder viruses. The influenza vaccine provides protection

from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulating in the coming flu season based on flu trends worldwide. This year’s vaccine contains three different flu strains including the H1N1 strain which was the predominant strain last year. The flu shot is safe, effective, and free for those at risk of compli-

Comprehensive coverage of your 2014 municipal election: See more online

QUESTION 1 If elected: Are you in favour of building a new aquatic facility as was proposed in the recent telephone survey – why? QUESTION 2 If elected: What is the single most important thing you would like to accomplish in the next term?

Pinkney: water and sewer are essential to our growth Maureen Pinkney Mayoral candidate Question 1 Simply, we cannot afford a $15-million Aquatic Centre. Before we move forward on any pool, we need to change the method of taxation for South Cariboo Recreation, Arts & Culture and be inclusive of the entire areas of G, H, L and 100 Mile House. Taxpayers are unaware of how much you pay through Taxation, Grant in Aids, Community Funds, etc. - hidden and unaccountable, with no approval from you. Let’s get it all put together, planned out, budgeted, and see how much we are already paying for Recreation, Arts & Culture. A modest $5M pool facility would be a huge asset to our communities’ health and wellness. Built, capturing the heat from the geothermal system at the Arena, keeping our

operating costs down, can be planned and affordable. We need to look to the future. Question 2 Water and sewer are essential to growth. We have a history of drought and bad water issues from the Bridge Creek supply. We need to build the Well Treatment Plant and provide water and sewer to Exeter Road. You open many doors for industry if you eliminate the limitations and concerns of lack of water and sewer. The proposed new Water Treatment Plant will be a lot more economical to run; thereby, saving taxpayers operating costs, as well as providing better quality and quantity of water. There are grants available to build this new plant, we need to capitalize on them and get it built. This is essential and urgent for our town’s economy to grow.

Aquatic facility: ‘we cannot afford it at this time’ Ralph Fossum Incumbent councillor Question 1 As much as I would love a new aquatic facility, I think we, as a community, have spoken and have said that we cannot afford it at this time. Calculations would suggest that Ainsworth and West Fraser would have had a combined tax increase of $90,000-plus (per year) just for taxation toward the proposed pool facility. We would be shooting ourselves in the foot to try to impose those kinds of tax increases on our major employers. We have a duty to protect what we have; and we have a lot! Remember that our business/industrial community does not get a vote. Our mills are major employers - “let’s support them, not thwart them!”

We asked all of candidates in this upcoming municipal election the same set of questions, which appears here and appeared in the Oct. 23 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. They have been given 250 words to answer the two following questions.

Question 2 My “important” list includes: I would like to see Interior Health support medical specialists who want to work out of our local hospital; I hope the school board will collaborate on the possibility of a trades training facility at the junior site; I hope “age-friendly” volunteers step forward; I hope to see new development related to the high volume of traffic that moves through our town; and I would like to help bring our community together. This is a great community: the opportunity, the fun, the action ... is to be part of it ... then we go places; then we have momentum; and then we attract; then we draw response. So I say: “join something; get involved and discover, in experience, what is before our very eyes” – safety, friendship, respect, and community!

Campsall: aquatic society would have to be affordable Mitch Campsall Incumbent mayor Question 1 The development of recreational facilities is an important part of community sustainability. The pool is one of many needs in the South Cariboo, but facilities must be affordable – both today and over the decades to come. The pool, as proposed, is not financially viable for the taxpayers of the District of 100 Mile House. More work must be done before I can recommend it to the District ratepayers. Question 2 In this next term, it is my hope that

Council will successfully secure funding to complete water-supply and water-system improvements that will provide improved pressure, fire protection and operational efficiencies for the Alpine-Scott Road loop and much-needed water quality upgrades and accessibility for the whole community. This community has serious infrastructure issues that cannot be ignored and I remain dedicated to ensuring those issues continue to be a Council priority as we move forward. I am confident that Council and staff can accomplish this and be debt free during this next term of office.

Giesbrecht would be pleased with aquatic centre Rita Giesbrecht Councillor candidate Question 1 As a former competitive swimmer and sometime instructor, swimming is my workout of choice, so I’d be in a pool most days. Nothing would make me more pleased than to be part of building a vibrant and thriving local economy, such that building a world-class aquatic centre, and potential training facility for national-level swimmers, is the logical next step. Strategic and comprehensive planning that is then implemented is the key for a culture of healthy, universally accessible recreation. Question 2 I am motivated by one aim that has many small pieces. Simply put: to see 100 Mile House become the rural small-town jewel that I know it can be, by maximizing a long list

of neglected and potential assets. First piece: facilitate collaborative partnerships between local government and the many, many, organizations that are working hard, and burning out volunteers, whose work would be made more effective by real engagement with elected decision makers, both District of 100 Mile House and Cariboo Regional District. A policy advisement committee from local agencies; an Economic Development Officer who truly “gets” this place; an Office of Arts and Culture and Events Co-ordination; a Local Initiatives Office to support innovative entrepreneurs in their efforts. Above all I welcome the chance to develop the Martin Cecil Centre for Excellence at the Lodge complex; and a Community Food Action Plan and Food Policy. In the last 15 years I have learned the responsibilities of community groups can only succeed in partnership with local government. That is my goal.

Decisions made on Nov. 15 will last for four years

Read information, go to all-candidates forum Nov. 4, make informed decision QUESTION 1 If elected: Are you in favour of building a new aquatic facility as was proposed in the recent telephone survey – why? QUESTION 2 If elected: What is the single most important thing you would like to accomplish in the next term?

Hadden in favour of aquatic centre but too expensive Bill Hadden Incumbent councillor Question 1 I am in favour of building the aquatic center as proposed. It is a complex that was proposed to meet the needs of a community for 40-50 years. I also doubt that it will be built. Simply put, it is just too expensive. To build a smaller box in the ground pool would be doing a disservice to the community. Spending $15 million plus operating costs is also a disservice. The pool debate has been raging since about 1967; it won’t be stopping any time soon. Question 2 In the next term, I would like to see our in-ground infrastructure expand-

ed to Exeter Road. We need sewer and water to the CN crossing near the old Esso Bulk station. This would include service to the side streets. As well, we need to loop water and sewer at 99 Mile. The original downtown core of Cedar, Dogwood, Evergreen avenues, and Bridge Creek Place, as well as First, Second, Third, and Fourth streets need to have the sewer and water lines replaced. They were installed in 1958 to 1964 approximately. At the same time as doing this, storm drains and sidewalks would be installed. This can only be accomplished by strong, focused attention to finances. Work of this scope will be accounted for by using reserve funds to leverage grants from senior levels of government.

Mingo: aquatic centre not affordable at proposed cost Dave Mingo Incumbent councillor Question 1 The South Cariboo could have an aquatic facility with an indoor pool, but not at the cost as proposed in the recent phone survey. District of 100 Mile House Council needs to work with the Cariboo Regional District, the Aquatic Society, the Interlakes Economic Association and any other group that could help reduce the cost. It will then be up to the voters of the South Cariboo to decide via referendum if they support an aquatic facility in the South Cariboo. It is not the local politician’s role to force anything on the public that they do not want. Question 2 The single most important thing I

want to achieve in the upcoming term is fiscal responsibility. Repaying the debt so tax dollars are not being used for interest payments. Keeping tax rates competitive with other area municipalities to encourage investment in 100 Mile. Like the proposed gold recovery plant in our industrial park. Building reserves to pay for future purchases and projects without having to take on new debt. Like the recent purchase of the new fire truck and the paving of the downtown core. Building reserves for use when senior government infrastructure grants become available, we will have the funds to match. Not spending your tax dollars frivolously on luxuries or duplicating services already provided. In short, being responsible with your hard-earned money.

’14 election! Current politicians sat on fence BC Municipal

with pool non-decision

John McCarvill Councillor Candidate

Question 1 With respect to the pool proposal, it needs to be pointed out that the current politicians had an opportunity to make a decision based on the results of the phone polling that was done. To say it was inconclusive and to sit on the fence and not make a decision until after the election shows a total lack of leadership. Perhaps, they felt they would loose votes if they made a decision. Strong leadership means a

secure future! I believe the proponents of the pool need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a proposal that makes a lot more financial sense. I feel the citizens of this community support the concept of a pool, as I do; however, we must work together to insure that it is suitable to our needs and, most importantly, within our financial capability. Question 2 The most important thing I would like to accomplish during

the next term is to continue paying down the debt load inherited by the current council. While at the same time, concentrating on insuring we manage our current budget more effectively. The Lodge property, as an example, costs the taxpayers an incredible amount of money simply because it is not utilized effectively. A business and marketing plan needs to be developed and implemented for the Lodge facility and Martin Exeter Hall. I know that if done properly this property can be a revenue generator rather than a financial liability.

Reid: voters want elected officials to make tough decisions Peter Reid Councillor candidate

Question 1 My thoughts are that very few politicians want to give a definitive yes or no answer. I believe voters want their elected officials to make the hard decisions and my decision is easy, we can’t afford a pool at this time. Some people with good paying jobs and good pensions might

think different, but elected officials have to look at the whole picture – seniors on fixed incomes, low income families and the struggling business community. There are a large number of houses and property for sale in the area, which is an indicator of a poor economy. Question 2 If elected, what I would like to accomplish are property

owners concerns – not just the residential property owners but also the investors who own commercial and industrial property. The majority of these investors have no voice in the community but play a very important role in shaping its direction. I believe it is very important that council reach out to these investors to address their concerns and also search out new investors who would be interested in our community.

Would build a pool at a cost that works Spence Henderson Incumbent councillor

Question 1 Would I build an aquatic facility at a cost that works for all of the South Cariboo? Absolutely; but my first priority would be the people not the pool. Question 2 The single most important thing I would like to accomplish in the next four years is to serve the community. John F Kennedy once said something like, “Ask not what

your community can do for you, but ask what you can do for your community?” Probably the most challenging opportunities we get as councillors are great ideas. Are they a great idea for the whole community or just the individuals? For example – speed bumps would protect the children from summer’s speeding drivers, but could break the snow plows and make the winter roads unsafe for everyone. So it’s seldom smart to make a quick decision. As I’ve said, I am very passionate about the relationships and

financial stability that District Council has built over the last three years. These pave the way for economic expansion, pools, water parks, sidewalks, seniors housing, more doctors, maybe even a KIJHL championship for the Wranglers. Focusing on one issue and disregarding other interests may cost more than desired in different ways. As has been said, “Be careful what you ask for.” What I really want to do in the next four years is help build teams that work together for the success of the South Cariboo. I do love this place and these people and I believe I can help with your help.

Time to wake up

Vulnerable children deserve support

ne of the key functions of my office is to make recommendations – carefully prescribed prescriptions to improve the lives of British Columbia’s most vulnerable children. Since the inception of the Office of the Representative for Children and Youth in 2007, we have made a total of 148 such recommendations as part of 22 reports. These recommendations have mainly been aimed at the provincial government, with the vast majority going to the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). Recently, we issued the first progress report on those recommendations. It shows that while government has acted on 72 per cent of our recommendations, a number of the most important ones have been ignored. Those unfulfilled include key recommendations made

to the B.C. government well-resourced provincial as a whole to improve the domestic violence plan, lives of Aboriginal children, including the establishment those living in situations of domestic violence courts of poverty and domestic in B.C.; and a call for a violence and those viable strategy in need of mental to ensure health services.

GUEST SHOT

anada has changed forever following the targeted killings last week of two military officers by men that police say were motivated by extremist religious beliefs. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed in what police are calling a targeted hit-and-run MVI in StJean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec on Oct. 20. Police killed driver Martin Couture-Rouleau in the ensuing car chase. Two days later, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was standing on guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario, was killed by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau who shot Cirillo twice with a rifle at point-blank range. Zehaf-Bibeau, still carrying his rifle, then raced to the Parliament Buildings and pushed his way past a security guard after a brief struggle that resulted in Const. Samearn Son getting a gunshot wound to his leg. Minutes later the attacker was shot and killed by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers. Parliament was locked down until around 8 p.m. that evening. Then the questions started flying and the horror of the two killings started to sink in. How could someone just run up to a guard at the National War Memorial and kill him in broad daylight and then make his way past security and into the bowels of the Parliament Buildings? These issues will be investigated, security at legislatures across the country will be beefed up significantly, and MPs will support a bill that gives the RCMP more powers in the surveillance and arrests of known and suspected terrorists in Canada. These will be relatively quick fixes. However, it will take longer for Canadians to get over their loss of innocence – the wake-up call that Canada is not insulated from the events going on in the rest of the world. Even though Canada was warned about retaliation when it decided to go to war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) militants in Iraq, we did not expect to have our military men and women become targets of Canadian residents who were allegedly influenced by ISIS radicalism. We didn’t expect to have members of our military murdered on Canadian soil while doing routine daily tasks. We need to remember these two men who gave their lives while standing on guard. We need to remember what all of our military men and women – both present and past – have done, and are doing, so we can have the peaceful, respectful, democratic lives we enjoy today. We need to remember the loss of lives, suffering and sacrifices that our military men and women have given to us to remain free – not only on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) but every day of the year. Lastly, we need to remember to be vigilant, so we are being proactive in maintaining our way of life.

ministers since our office was established in 2007. Our office does not make recommendations lightly. Each of our reports requires months and sometimes years of research, file reviews, data analysis, interviews with workers in the field and interviews with families and young people. While the government is not compelled by legislation to follow our recommendations, to do so shows commitment and makes good sense. It is clear from this report, the province does not yet have a plan that focuses on children across government, nor does it have any comprehensive, focused and accountable approach to ensure that the next generation will be able to reach their full potential. Considering what is at stake, government can and should do better. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth.

Opinion

Water is life and it needs protection To the editor: If there’s any lesson to be learned in the wake of the Mt. Polley tailings dam breach and disastrous spill down Hazeltine Creek into Quesnel Lake, it’s that we all need to take responsibility to look after the sources of our precious drinking water and aquatic ecosystems in general. The effects of the spill, which discharged millions of cubic metres of toxic sludge into Quesnel Lake, will be felt for years and probably

decades. We can no longer take clean abundant water for granted. In this era of deregulation and cutbacks to provincial regulatory ministries, the unthinkable has happened: the pollution of formerly pristine Quesnel Lake. The Secwepemc people, the residents of Likely and lakeshore residents no longer consider the water safe for drinking, swimming or fishing. Toxic sediments are expected to disperse to other areas of Quesnel Lake, and no one knows how far,

and to what extent, the contamination will travel down the Quesnel and Fraser River systems. Given this context, it might be helpful for all of us to find out where our water comes from (for drinking, agriculture, etc.) and be aware of human activities and industrial processes that could impact it in the future. For example, 100 Mile House draws most of its drinking water from Bridge Creek and, of course, it is treated.

Proper signage would be safer To the editor: Regarding the speed limit through the community of 70 Mile, I have been meaning to put in a note to the editor for some time now, but I assumed the speed reduction would go through and all would be good. The recent mention in the Free Press, however, of (Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd) Stone’s rationale for not changing the speed prompted me to comment. He suggests people would just maintain the high speed anyway. This may not be the case. I am a very confident driver, and in my business capacity, I criss-cross the Cariboo on a regular basis. In my travels, there are two spots where I find myself suddenly unsure at the posted speed. One is on entering 70 Mile, particular when travelling north around that blind curve. The other is in driving through the

Crystal Springs/Clancy’s area north of Lac la Hache. Both of these spots seem to me to be serious accidents waiting to happen and I brake because of it. Traffic signage is often the only way for a driver to know what lies ahead. Many drivers unfamiliar with the area no doubt barrel though 70 Mile, and when they make it through without picking off any pedestrians, go, “whew, that was a bit scary.” I wonder if the minister is applying his experience in other less dangerous areas to the situation in 70 Mile. Perhaps they should try some topnotch signage indicating, “Approaching Congested Area – Reduce Speed,” followed by a 70 km/h sign. As a driver, this would seem much more spot-on than the present situation does. Dave Hickey 100 Mile House

If your household has a well, what activities might affect the groundwater feeding into that well? Many factors, if not properly regulated, can affect water quality, such as leaky septic systems, sediments from logging, cattle grazing, mining and industrial processes. It is the government’s responsibility to protect our drinking water, but we citizens need to hold our governments accountable. We need to elect politicians who are

not solely influenced by monied interests, ones who remember their responsibility to their constituents. Moreover, we need companies that take seriously their responsibility to look after this public trust, the public waters. Water is life and we can’t live without clean water. Let’s all work together to ensure there is clean water for now and into the future. Patricia Spencer 108 Ranch

Reader believes there is money available to build a pool To the editor: In spite of advertising the worst possible cost to the taxpayers, the result was in favour of building a pool in 100 Mile House. If the public were made aware of the potential grants from federal, provincial and corporate donations, I feel the results would be very heavy in favour of conducting a referendum to poll the taxpayers more accurately. The pool design includes a channel to enable swimmers with wheelchairs and other mobility concerns to enter the main swimming tank. This will encourage handicap grants, such as the $401,250 grant recently given for low mobility trails.

Also, I feel the relocation of the Agriplex should not be included in the capital cost of building the pool, which would then reduce the total cost. Many people outside of the existing taxation boundaries were disappointed that they were not included. We need a more accurate estimate of the increased cost

to the rural areas. Our elected representatives should be listening to the voters and conduct the referendum, and also investigate potential grants available, so that the cost to the taxpayers would be more accurate and reasonable. Jim Gellein 108 Mile Ranch

Take signs down To the editor: I appreciate that the Hootstock Festival provides a venue for our local talent. However, it would be only considerate if they removed their signs when the event is over. Bill McIntosh Bradley Creek

BC VIEWS

ebate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven per cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out British Columbia’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t

which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. Companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the province Medical-marijuana firm eyes Barriere KAMLOOPS - A medical marijuana start-up firm has made a tentative deal to buy two industrial lots in Barriere for a production and research facility. GreenSkyLabs, a company incorporated in Alberta, made its plans public Oct. 27 to locate an operation in the North Thompson town of 1,800. Mayor Bill Humphreys said the company has submitted an offer to purchase two lots in the Louis Creek subdivision — site of the former Tolko Industries Ltd. mill that burned in what was dubbed Firestorm 2003 — contingent on it receiving approval from Health Canada. Company founder Sam Scherwitz, who also owns an LED supply company, told Kamloops This Week GreenSkyLabs intends to build a “testing, research and cultivation centre” in Barriere. He said availability of inexpensive land, location between Alberta and Victoria and a desire to develop “in an area where we can help growth” is what brought the company to Barriere.

Whooping cough outbreak hits Nelson NELSON - Nearly 50 people in the West Kootenays have been struck with whooping cough during the last four months, with approximately 40 cases in Nelson. Interior Health calls the outbreak entirely preventable, noting that the situation is being exacerbated by Nelson’s unusually low immunization rate. Medical health officer Dr. Rob Parker told the Star that though most BC communities have immunized approximately 90 per cent of their children and infants, Nelson is way behind at 65 per cent. “It all comes down to community immunization,” said Parker. “The place we see repeated outbreaks is places like Nelson, where some parents believe in a more natural lifestyle or they’re trying to stay away from medication and drugs.” Also called pertussis, whooping cough is a bacterial lung infection that poses a serious risk to babies. Adults show much milder symptoms, which helps it to spread.

I am just going to stay at home, dress up as a witch and hand out candy. I’ll probably watch horror movies, too.

We’re Ready for the Cold and Flu Season...Are you?

C ap sule C omments People with heart conditions are at a greater risk of dying from the flu than those with any other chronic condition. They have a greater chance of having complications from the flu so it’s important to have that layer of protection that the flu shot provides. Flu shot time is here. Get yours soon. Ever wonder why we link colds with cold weather? Our mothers always told us to button up….or you’ll catch a cold. But the cold is caused by viruses not cold weather. Colds are more common in winter because people spend more time indoors, living closer together giving the virus a better chance to spread. Frequent hand washing will minimize that spread. To get the most of your time in your doctor’s office, be prepared. Make a list of symptoms regarding your problem including what it is, when it occurs, for how long and how often and anything you’ve tried that helps or worsens the problem. Bring your medication list as well. These ideas help you and help your doctor to help you better. The pipeline containing new antibiotics is rather uncrowded right now even though The Infectious Disease Society of America urged researchers to come up with at least 10 new antibiotics by 2020. That was in 2010 and so far there has been only three approved. A Canadian researcher has found a possible new one in a Nova Scotian soil fungus. It shows promise but time and money will tell. New drugs? We will know about them. Pick our brains for knowledge.

Suspicious fire At 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 25, 100 Mile House RCMP members were called to a house fire in the 4900 block of Timothy Lake Road in Lac la Hache. When the police and the fire department arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames. It was currently vacant and no one was injured as a result. The residence was a total loss. It was learned that a vehicle was also missing from the property and is believed to have been stolen. The vehicle is described as a 1999 Ford Ranger white in colour with B.C. licence

plate number ET3214. The cause of the fire is not known, but it is considered suspicious. An RCMP fire investigator from Williams Lake attended the scene the next day. The vehicle also has not been recovered. The incident remains under investigation.

Break-in, theft On Oct. 23, police were called to a break-in to a shed at a residence in the 5500 block of Park Drive in 103 Mile. Two bicycles and two grass trimmers were stolen. It is believed the theft occurred within the last two weeks. Consensual fight At 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 22, RCMP members responded to a complaint of an assault in progress at a residence on the 5000 block of Block Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch. Upon arrival, it was learned that a consensu-

al fight had taken place between two males inside the residence. A 26-year-old man from Surrey was subsequently arrested for causing a disturbance, and he was lodged in cells until sober.

Sleepy driver Around 3 p.m. on Oct. 21, police attended to a motor-vehicle incident on Horse Lake Road near Horse Lake North Road where a vehicle had gone down an embankment. The lone occupant of the vehicle admitted to falling asleep. The driver received minor head injuries as a result of the crash.

Safety tips If you are a pedestrian: • Make eye contact with approaching drivers and/or cyclists. • Use designated crossing points and be sure all lanes of traffic have stopped before stepping out. Just because one driver stops does not mean that others will. • Obey traffic signals – only enter the intersection if the pedestrian signal is being displayed and it is safe for you to do so. • Walk on the left hand side of the road so you can see oncoming traffic closest to you. • Do not presume that drivers see you – wear bright and reflective clothing at night and early morning. • Leave your ear

Twilight and sunrise are often the most difficult times for drivers to see because the sun is so low.

Trees adorn the district

Free Press

There are now a host of new trees gracing various areas in the District of 100 Mile House. District planner Joanne Doddridge says the municipality is furthering its ongoing town beautification project, so it seized the opportunity to get free trees from a joint initiative of Trees Canada and BC Hydro. The labour was supplied by the District for the planning and planting, she notes. Doddridge says a total of 23 trees – including flowering crab apple, two types of maples and two types of ash trees – are now in the ground at four sites throughout the District. They have all survived the initial shock period, with zero mortality, she adds. The new trees are located at Cariboo Trail and Horse Lake Road; the 100 Mile House Cemetery; Centennial

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will see its lobby effort for priority phone service restoration taken to the provincial and federal governments. A resolution the CRD put forward was endorsed at the North Central Local G o v e r n m e n t Association last spring, and then also endorsed this fall by the next step in the lobby chain – the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. In the event of a telephone service disruption, CRD chair Al Richmond says the idea is to require telephone service providers to restore service on an emergency basis to customers in areas without access to cell phone coverage. This is because access to telephone service is

critical during medical emergencies, he adds. It’s not a hard press, the CRD chair says, adding the board has written to [government] on two different occasions. “We want to [ensure] folks who do not have access to alternative forms of communication, i.e. cell phones, in rural areas are not told ‘it will be seven weeks before we get to you’. “We think [government] needs to recognize they have no access to 9-1-1, no access to emergency services.” The CRD wants the province to map out which areas and addresses don’t have cellular service – which Richmond notes is not a difficult task – and then mandate getting phone outage services restored as a priority for the service providers.

are still enforced and they’re still in effect.” During work-time hours, the speed limits are there to protect the workers. The other thing motorists need to remember is that during times of construction – whether people are working or not – that highway will not be in its most ideal condition, Hubner notes. You might be missing a shoulder width; you might have separated grades in the road; or the road surface may have changed, he adds. “So, it is imperative motorists reduce their speeds accordingly.” For everyone's safety, Hubner says it's absolutely necessary that everyone has to obey the traffic signs, speed limits and the flaggers at all times.

South Cariboo folks involved in Community Place Garden’s start-up

Downtown public garden to help feed 100 Mile House’s hungry

The Community Place Garden is one of those ideas that could have been born, lived and died in the space of time a few people took to have coffee together, but instead became reality. The creator of the idea is Ingrid Meyer who is an active member of the local Food Security Committee (FSC) – a broad-based and multi-sector committee. Meyer approached Dave and Gord Dickie with the idea that their recently cleared and levelled building lots on First Street and Birch Avenue could be a community garden space. The Dickie brothers agreed to the idea and Meyer took it to a FSC meeting to propose they take advantage of the garden space. Rita Giesbrecht brought it under the Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre (ACEC) umbrella to see whether there was a

master gardener in the community who could take on the job, and put the word out for participation. Rod Endacott, of Enchant Landscapes, has spent the last couple of years in an intensive study of the art and science of permaculture, and a number of enthusiastic individuals have stayed keenly interested and involved. Endacott envisioned an initial plan, and a strategy for developing the garden using permaculture values. The final and crucial player was the District of 100 Mile House, and planner Joanne Doddridge who worked with the Dickies and Endacott to clear details like zoning, water access, boundary surveys, and a lot of pieces that have to be in place for the project to succeed. All of these individuals played their parts, and the FSC is proud and pleased to have been the incubator for this amazing opportunity that has come to fruition, Meyer says. The potential in the Community Place Garden is lives could be changed as children and young families

have a chance to get their hands in dirt, see food coming out of the ground, learn self-sufficiency, respect, and care for the land, and are nourished in ways that are currently not possible in their lives, says Giesbrecht. “It is inconceivable to many that insufficient food is a daily, weekly, yearly reality for people in an area such as ours, but the numbers

Actors deliver emotional performances in Love Letters Gaven Crites Free Press

WE ARE ONLY 10 MINUTES AWAY

IF YOU CAN’T FIND IT IN TOWN

In the eyes of their director, local actors Chris Adams and Renee LaRochelle delivered truly raw and excellent performances. The 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society recently wrapped up its production of Love Letters, a two-person dramatic play by writer A.R. Gurney, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. LaRochelle, as Melissa Gardner, and Adams, as Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, were “remarkable,” says director Marie Hooper. “It was very emotional and the audience seemed to really be drawn in with the actors, which was our

goal. I think it takes a lot of courage for a person, who’s not a professional actor, to make themselves that vulnerable, to be able to emotionally get to a place that’s not normally what we

walk around exposing to the world. “They did that extremely well. I was really proud of them.” The play, which ends with a suicide, revolves around both charac-

ters sitting side-by-side at tables and reading notes and letters they’ve written throughout their lives. The dramatic production was a departure from the comedic route the local

theatre group took last year and from its large musicals in the past. “They really did push themselves out of their comfort zone,” Hooper says. “They were truly raw and it

while the performance was very emotional to deal with, it was a great learning experience. “We all worked really hard on it. Of course, we always have a lot of fun. It’s great that it went over really well and our audiences were fantastic.” Hooper says the cast and crew are considering entering Love Letters in Theatre BC’s annual adjudicated zone festival in the spring, so local audiences might get another chance to see the play if they missed it this time around. Next up for the 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society is a winter production of the Art of Murder, a mystery written by Joe DiPietro, and directed by local member Gord Smith.

FAST bytes SKI SEASON

Gaven Crites photo

Brett Harris won star of the game for the 100 Mile House Wranglers, winners of its last two games, against both the Spokane Braves on Oct. 25 and the Kamloops Storm on Oct. 26.

Gaven Crites

'Better every game'

Free Press

“Why are we here?” Dale Hladun asked the team. October had been a frustrating month for the 100 Mile House Wranglers coach. At the bottom of the Doug Birks Division following a good start to the season in September, the Wranglers had lost close game after close game. And they were mostly frustrating losses, the kind where you play well enough to win but don't. The issue wasn't talent. The Wranglers have that. It was something else. Maybe the right kind of focus or attitude or the will to win or a combination of things. Whatever it is, Hladun thinks they zeroed in on it. The Wranglers braved a tough one against Spokane on Oct. 25 and stormed back in Kamloops on Oct. 26, snapping a three-game losing streak with two comeback victories, and climbing back to .500 in the middle of the division standings. “Why are we here?” the coach asks. “There's a community counting on us for victory.” A huge third period lifted the Wranglers over the Kamloops Storm. 100 Mile was down 4-2 before Nick McCabe found the back of the net with 11:04 left and Nick Headrick (from Lane van de Wetering and Brett Harris), Austin Turner (from Tavis Roch), and Devan Suidy (from Cole

Zimmerman) scored the next three goals unanswered. Kristian Stead turned away 41 pucks for the 6-4 win. Harris (from Micky Turner) scored in the first and Tavis Roch (from Harris and Headrick) scored early in the third on the power play. Heading into the Spokane Braves game in 100 Mile House on Oct. 25, the Wranglers were losers of their last three while the Braves were winners of their last three. The Braves got on the board first, up 2-0 after 20 minutes, before the Wranglers notched three unanswered, with goals by Harris (from Headrick), Roch (from A. Turner) and Zimmerman (from Josh Odelein and A. Turner). Quinn Ferris made 34 saves for the Wranglers in the 3-2 win. The Wranglers outshot Sicamous 41-26 on Oct. 24, but came up short 4-3 on the road. Zimmerman took star of the game honours, scoring one goal and adding one assist. Roch and Michael Lynch scored goals. Stephen Egan and Suidy had two assists each and A. Turner added one. While the local club was struggling of late, dropping three consecutive one-goal games before its last two Ws, Hladun's confidence in the lineup never wavered. He thinks the team has the tools and the talent to win in this league – the right pieces to the puzzle, so to speak. He just needed to see more

“oomph”, that extra effort. And he did. “I have seven Scrabble tiles and I know there's a seven letter word in there, and it's starting to show,” he analogizes .“I think we've been playing good for the last five games, not just our last two wins. But the thing we had to overcome is you can't just be 'good'. If you're going to back check, lift up a stick. If you're going to hit, knock him off the puck. If you're going to shoot, shoot to score.” Earlier curfews and harder skating at practice went a long way, too, Hladun adds. The other big factor: “We added Cole Weber.” When Weber speaks, the boys listen, Hladun says of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League veteran, who played for him in Princeton and Fernie. “The dressing room changed.” Weber's first game as a Wrangler, and of the 2014-15 season, came against Spokane on Oct. 25. Weber's first impression of the team: “They really want to win.” “It's a great group of guys," he adds. "A lot of good character guys and a lot of talk in the dressing room.” Another veteran addition that's seemingly paying off more and more every week is Brett Harris, a 108 Mile Ranch talent that joined the Wranglers in late September after a season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Harris has notched 10 points in 11 games and won star of the game honours against both Spokane and Kamloops, turning a few defenders inside out in the process. “It's just confidence,” Harris said after the Spokane game. “I played up a level [Junior A], and came back. The guys are feeding me. It's been a team effort and I'm just trying to contribute as much as I can.” “I think we're just going to build and build,” he adds. “We're just going to get better every game.” Before the Spokane game, the South Cariboo Rec. Centre stood silent in memory of Nathan Cirillo, the 24-year-old corporal who was shot and killed while on honorary guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Oct. 22. In another touching tribute, Greg Aiken found himself a different jersey to wear while he fired t-shirts into the stands from the ice between periods, something the Wranglers vice president does at every home game. For this one, Aiken chose a Team Canada jersey. On the back, written with hockey tape, was the name “Cirillo”. The Wranglers host the Grand Forks Border Bruins at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 and the Kamloops Storm at 2 p.m. on Nov. 2. The local club is looking for volunteers to help out with various positions. Anyone interested can contact Sandy Craig at 250-945-4902.

The 100 Mile Nordics Cross Country Ski Club is hosting a Ski Swap & Registration Day from 11 a.m to 2 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the 99 Mile Ski Lodge, located just south of 100 Mile House on Highway 97. Skiers can register for the season, purchase trail passes and memberships and receive help with equipment fitting. Gear drop-off is Oct. 28 (6-7 p.m.), Oct. 30 (6-7 p.m.) and Nov. 1 (10 a.m.-12 p.m.). For more information go to 100milenordics .com.

HIGH SCHOOL ROWING Three Grade 8 Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School students – James Edge, Lydia Kinasewich and Courtney Cave – all competed at the North Shore High School Championships in Deep Cove, Oct. 18. The local athletes rowed in singles, doubles and quad races. In a novice women's quad, Cave won first place with a Fort Langley crew. It was the first regatta for Cave and Kinasewich and all three rowers did well, says coach Will Van Osch.

FIGURE SKATING Mikayla Julseth won silver for overall assessment at the 2014 Super Series Autumn Leaves in Kamloops, Oct. 17-19.

Girls win back-to-back

Rugby players from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) played a number of matches in Houston, Burns Lake and Prince George recently. A girls team played in a sevens tournament and got their first win in four years, beating a Houston junior team 10-5 on Oct. 18. Grade 8 rugby newcomer Lauren Ray scored both tries for PSO, coach Sean Glanville explains. “Lauren is a natural athlete with great pace and could have a bright future in the sport,” he adds. “Another Grade 8 newcomer, Tayler Roberts, made some fantastic try-saving tackles." Glanville also highlighted the play of Selina Hofer. "[Hofer] made a number of fantastic runs and was often in the middle of the action.”

The victories were a total team effort and every player worked hard all weekend. – Sean Glanville

PSO went on to defeat a Williams Lake junior team 12-5, earning back-to-back wins. Heather Heales and Ray each scored a try. Ray also converted a try, kicking the ball through the uprights. “The victories were a total team effort and every player worked hard all weekend and the returning players showed plenty of leadership,” says Glanville.

played Prince George. 100 Mile House was down 15-0 at halftime but mounted a comeback to cut the deficit 15-10. Unfortunately, a late try by Ray that would have tied or possibly won the game, was disallowed. In Prince George on Oct. 17, the PSO girls played Vanderhoof in the pouring rain, losing 15-5. Heales scored the lone try. Other members of the team included Melissa Linnell, Christina Lehto, Tiffany Wannop, Petra Perkins, Dusty Sellars and Sally Giesbrecht. Four PSO boys – Robert Parma, Bryce Cumiskey, Alex Ross and Ian Heales – joined a Williams Lake squad for a tournament in Burns Lake. That amalgamated team won four games and lost three.

It is almost time for costumes, candy, parties and trick or treaters. Fun for owners, but not so much for their pets. To ensure their safety, outdoor pets should be brought inside and confined in a safe place for the night. Sadly, free-roaming or unattended pets can be the target of cruelty on a night when some people are more prone to acts of mischief or malice. If fireworks are a part of your celebration (or your neighbours indulge), keep your pets inside. Fireworks should also not be used in the vicinity of horse pastures, as many horses will run through a fence in an attempt to escape the noise and lights. Many pets are lost every Halloween when they slip out of an open door. Masks and costumes can be fright-

Halloween candy presents another hazard--chocolate, raisins and many kinds of nuts are toxic to dogs, and sugarless gum and candy sweetened with xylitol can be especially hazardous.

If your home is frequented by trick or treaters, your dog will probably be less agitated if he or she is not being exposed to a ringing doorbell while you are gone. Finally, if you might be looking for a new four-legged member for your family, Halloween is a good time to remember that black cats and dogs are the least likely to be adopted from a shelter. Consider adopting one of the many wonderful animals that are waiting for a second chance at a good life. Happy Halloween!

Dream realized when boat launches installed DEKA DISTRICT

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

On Oct. 10, Greg Wiseman of Windy Mountain Backhoe installed nine concrete pads at the bottom of Deka’s Access #12, as part of a Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ Association (DLDRA) project that has been planned for several years. Left over from snow-shed roofs of the Coquihalla Highway construction, the concrete pads were donated by the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure (MOTI). The boat launch is 12 feet wide and 48 feet long, with about half its length extending into the water. Helpers included DLDRA’s Jane and Marty Mahovlich and Penny

Millway, and Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) firefighters Steve Colbert and Dan Wiebe. Costs were shared between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), DLDRA, DLDVFD, and DLDVFD Ladies Auxiliary. A similar boat launch was installed at Access #8 the following week. Residents expressed their deep gratitude to DLDRA, MOTI and the CRD. Sad passing Sadly, Dolores Miller passed away Oct. 15,

Ask an Expert:

How do I improve indoor air quality in my home? With winter on the horizon, homeowners who live in locales with harsh winters are preparing their homes for a season spent largely indoors. Unlike the other seasons of the year, when homeowners can comfortably air out their homes by opening windows, winter offers no such opportunities to let nature improve indoor air quality. While you might not be able to change the weather so you can open windows in the wintertime, you can take steps to improve indoor air quality in your home. • Clean the floors regularly. Dirty floors take their toll on a home’s indoor air quality. Dust that’s allowed to settle on floors may contain harmful chemicals and allergens that can lead to respiratory problems and additional uncomfortable health conditions. Clean your floors at least once per week during the winter months, ideally with a vacuum that’s equipped with a HEPA filter. • Place a floor mat near every entrance. Winter is a messy season, and it’s easy to bring in the great outdoors when you enter your home during cold weather seasons. Dirt that sticks to your shoes may contain

potentially harmful chemicals, so place a floor mat near any door where people routinely enter your home and politely ask that all who enter wipe off and remove their shoes before moving about the house • Dehumidify your home. Mold and dust mites thrive on moisture, so homeowners concerned about the moisture in their homes during the winter months can purchase a dehumidifier to control allergens and reduce moisture in the air. • Choose naturally scented laundry products. Everyone wants their freshly cleaned clothes to smell good, but the price you pay when using laundry products that employ synthetic fragrances may be far more steep than you realize. • Avoid plug-in air fresheners. Unless otherwise noted on the packaging, plugin air fresheners likely contain volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which contain a variety of chemicals that can negatively impact both short- and longterm health. As winter gets set to return, homeowners can employ several simple strategies to improve indoor air quality in their homes.

OFF ROAD VEHICLE (ATV’S) Q: Will I need to register my off road vehicle?

Q: Will chiropractic help my shoulder pain and movement?

A: Yes, I actually treat a lot of shoulders in my practice. From a frozen shoulder to a painful shoulder there is often a lot of relief with seeking treatment. When I was in training I felt that there were not a lot of information on shoulders so I did also take a course called ART specifically the shoulder one. I feel that with chiropractic and ART to the shoulder I can usually get the area improved range of movement and decreased discomfort. Shoulders tend to be very needed in every day life and it is important that they move around in all the directions they are supposed to. Just remember if there is a joint that is not moving as it should then ask your chiropractor to have a look, it’s what we specialize in. Book your consultation today.

In certain cases, please see below:

The registration for ATV’s is to be effective November 17 2014. The ORV Act provides a framework, to establish a onetime registration system for off road vehicles. This includes snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles (aka Quads) off road motorcycles/dirt bikes and utility terrain vehicles (e.g. Gators, Argos, Rhinos and Razors). ORV registration and the display of number plates will be required if the ATV is operated on Crown land, resource roads and certain prescribed private lands. Operating an ATV on private property would not require a registration number plate. The combined registration and plate fees will be set at $48.00 Owners will be required to register and obtain number plates through an Autoplan Broker. Hub International Barton Insurance Brokers would be pleased to answer any of your questions.

Q: What is a simple will?

A: Ask a lawyer: 99% of clients want a “simple” will. Yet, the

A: Variable rate mortgages are based on Bank’s prime lending rate which is determined by Bank of Canada’s pre-set interest rate announcement dates (8/ year) where they adjust their key lending rate. Currently, the Bank’s prime lending rate is at 3.00%. Lenders are currently giving discounts off Prime on the variable rate mortgages, currently you can get as low as 2.40% * which is Prime minus .60% for a 5 year closed variable. However, if Bank of Canada increases its key lending rate, then the Prime rate will increase therefore your monthly mortgage payment will increase. Historically, the Bank’s prime lending rate has been set at 3.00% since September 2010. Economists are predicting that Bank of Canada will not increase the key rate until mid 2015. Historically, when Bank of Canada has increased its key lending rate, it has only been by .25%. Normal pre-payment penalties to pay off your mortgage in full prior to the 5 year closed term elapsing is a 3 month interest penalty. Less risk than the possible IRD (interest rate differential) charged on fixed rate mortgages. You can also lock into a fixed term, as long as the term you select plus the term elapsed equals 5 years or greater, if you took a 5 year closed variable for example. Variable rate mortgages are very appealing; you definitely save money on the front end of your mortgage as rates continue to maintain this low. Call me for advice!!! *OAC/E&O

investment portfolio, or truck is their biggest asset. In most cases, your biggest asset is YOU. If your income was $50,000 / year at the age of 40, and you planned on working until age 65 and you became ill or disabled how would that affect your life goals? That would be a minimum loss of income of $1,250,000. By investing a few cents on every dollar earned into life, disability, and cancer insurance you can protect your biggest asset, YOU. More than 71% of Canadian households would have difficulty paying everyday living expenses if a primary wage earner died or if they were unable to work due to disability or critical illness. All activities relating to life and disability insurance products and services are the sole responsibility of the agent. Insurance products provided through multiple insurance carriers.

so-called simple will is suitable for only about 20% of them. Why? The short answer: few people live the kind of simple life which makes a simple will appropriate. Simple wills are wills in which the traditional couple names executors and gives all assets to a spouse unless the spouse predeceases in which case assets go the couple’s children. Why are so few wills simple? Because so few families are simple: about 50% of Canadian marriages end in divorce creating tricky problems in making suitable wills in subsequent relationships. How do partners in so called “blended families” treat each other and the children from earlier marriages fairly? What about those many people who think, rightly (in many cases) or wrongly, that they should disinherit a child? Then, there are many couples, same sex and others, who have no children. In considering the myth of the simple will, one must also consider the type of assets a will maker has. Is there a stock portfolio? Does the will maker own land outside of Canada? Is there life insurance? There is a place for the simple will – but they’re not as common as people think. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Treating families to spooky fun Hysterical Halloween will have bus shuttle service

Among the fun and spooky attractions at the Hysterical Halloween party on Oct. 31 is the “Hillbilly Horror” exhibit by the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School’s 2015 grad class. Hysterical Halloween runs from 5 to 9 p.m. at the 108 Heritage Site. Those brave enough can walk through the Watson Barn, which will be turned into a “Hillbilly Horror” scene by the PSO grads who

are known for their exceptional and chilling haunted house exhibits in past years. For the younger children the PSO grads will have a Kids Zone set up. The event will also see a giant bonfire by the 108 Lions, games and a concession with hot chocolate, tea, coffee, cookies, hotdogs, cotton candy and pop corn. There is no charge

Be a local hunger hero

Sunrise Ford and Grade 7 leadership group students at 100 Mile House Elementary School are participating in Ford’s and Free the Children’s food drive campaign called We Scare Hunger. While trick-or-treating on Halloween, the leadership students will carry cards identifying they are collecting non-perishable food donations - in lieu of candy (at the donor’s discretion). Then all the donations for the four local food bank/distributors – the 100 Mile House Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes Outreach, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, and 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre. Leadership teacher Sally Morgan says the Halloween collection will be boosted by in-school donations through a student challenge (primary versus intermediate grades) running from now until two weeks after Halloween. “It is the first initiative of this school year.” She adds the leadership group really hopes people will get some non-perishable food ready for these trick-or-treaters to help them stop hunger in its tracks. While the students are not collecting out in the community, other than on Halloween, Sunrise Ford owner Leon Chretien says his dealership on 99 Mile Hill is accepting public food donations until Nov. 1. Also on that Saturday, Nov. 1, 100 Mile Wranglers mascot, Sunrise Sam, will be at Sunrise Ford's Open House from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. while fans fill a Ford truck with food, he explains. Chretien adds Sunrise Ford will be handing out slices of Pita Jack pizza to everyone who brings along a non-perishable food item. “We’re also holding a draw for either a Rhino Lining spray-in box liner or Excel vehicle paint protection for anybody who brings food on that day.” It all adds up to be an easy way to support folks and families in the community that need a little more food on their plate, he notes. “Be a hunger hero.”

“We’re stoked,” says Priscillia Remanente, one of the PSO organizers. “They do a good job. It will be starting a new tradition at a new location.” A bus shuttle is running for the event. The first pick up of passengers will be at 4:30 p.m. at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre on Highway 97 at 4:30 p.m. and shortly after at SaveOn-Foods. The bus leaves the 108 Heritage Site for 100 Mile House at 8:30 p.m.

Donations, volunteers, participants sought for DSS dinner auction CLINTON Katie McCullough 250 459-2172

kemccullough@hotmail.com

The David Stoddart Secondary (DSS) Annual Dinner and Auction will be held at the Clinton Memorial Hall on Nov. 22. Susan Carrier, who is heading up the dinner and auction committee, says the event will have a “whiteand-silver Christmas theme.” Doors open at 5 p.m. with a silent auction and “appies.” Dinner, which starts at 6 p.m., is a traditional turkey dinner with apple crisp for dessert. The live auction will

follow dinner with Jeff McMichael volunteering as auctioneer. Tickets are $15 and must be purchased in advance. They are available at DSS, Integris Insurance, Country Squire Gift Store and High Bar First Nation office, but they will not be available at the door. This fundraiser is the only major fundraiser for the Clinton Parent Advisory Council, and the funds raised are what send our children on field trips and pays for additional classroom resources. To donate an item to the auction, please drop off your item at DSS or call and it can be picked up. Donations of any type, including cash, gift certificates, hand-made and storebought items are appreciated.

It is really nice to have some larger items that bring in the higher bids. So, if you know of someone who may have something to donate as one of the larger auction items, it would be greatly appreciated. The goal this year is to meet or beat the

amount of funds raised at previous auctions, so please plan to come out and enjoy an evening at the community hall on Nov. 22. A designated driver will be available all evening. If you would like to volunteer at the auction, please call Susan at 250459-2132.

On Oct. 31, visitors brave enough to wander through this haunted National Historic Site will experience spooky stories and hair-raising tales during a night of frivolity, fright and fun. More than 100 visitors from all over British Columbia make the trek to Barkerville each Halloween, and this year, there will be a few extra surprises. The self-guided ghostly town tour begins at 6:30 p.m. on Halloween night and participants will explore the shadows of main street after-dark, where monstrous jack-o’-lanterns, traceless spirits, and the secretive pasts of Barkerville’s most notorious residents sometimes lurk.

Gaven Crites Free Press

Three Grade 10 students sit around a rototiller intently trying to figure out where that squeaking noise is coming from. A group of Grade 12s hoist an old purple Volkswagen Beetle into the air and start turning wrenches underneath it. In the corner, two students work with a tire changer peeling rubber off rim. Across the room, a student fires up a torch and, sparks flying, begins cutting at something under a classmate’s truck. This was the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School’s new automotive shop on Oct. 16. But it could be basically any day in teacher Chris Leflufy’s new classroom. The auto shop – one of two renovations at the school totalling $3 million, which includes a new gymnasium, completed last

summer – is a hub of activity, a hands-on environment, and the students, for the most part, all seem to want to be there. Robert Parma is one of the Grade 12 students working on the Beetle, a long-term project for part of the class. They’re converting it into an off-road vehicle, otherwise known as a “Baja Bug.” “It’s going to be pretty cool,” Parma says of the Volkswagen, which belongs to wood shop teacher Shawn Meville. “We pick at it, try to get one thing done a day.” Before the renovation and the addition of the new workshop, the auto shop and fabrication shop were the same room. It was pretty cluttered in there and the school only offered each course for half a year. The new shop means more space and more modern tools and equipment for the students to utilize on more projects.

From B1

“The more stuff we get done, I think the better we’re actually doing. We have almost too many things going on at once. But then, there’s always something to do.” Lane MacKay is one of the Grade 10 students pulling apart the rototiller, a smallengine project. “It’s making this real loud squeaking noise and we’re trying to figure it out,” MacKay explains. “I think it’s Mr. Leflufy’s.” MacKay and a few more Grade 10 boys rank auto shop as one of their favourite classes. They’re asked if they see themselves working with these sorts of tools or in a similar trade in the future, and there’s a lot of eager head nodding – “definitely.” This factor isn’t lost on Leflufy. “It’s exciting to see my students go on and work in the industries,” he says. “There’s always talk of job shortages in all of the trades. At the high school level ... I want to give the kids the skills that if they’re going to go on [in a trades career], they’ve got a good starting point.”

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me. He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.” Smart ass. Price Range: $35,900- $58,300. You can find out more about the car at bmw.ca and the horses – sorry, ponies at newforestnpa.gov.uk keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Have A Fun-Filled And SAFE Halloween This Friday, Oct. 31st SAFETY TIPS • Parents or guardians are recommended to accompany their children when they go door-to-door. • Youths should stay together in a group. • Light-coloured clothing is encouraged; however, if dark clothes are worn, it is recommended children and youth have at least one flashlight. • If a child wears a mask over the face, ensure it doesn’t obstruct the vision of the child. • Before children eat their treats, the food should be inspected by a parent or responsible adult. • If a candy wrapper or treat appears suspicious, have an adult check it out. • When going door-to-door, children shouldn’t walk over the owner’s lawn or shrubs, instead use the driveway/sidewalk. • Homeowners should put on exterior lights in the front entrance for the safety of the children. FIRE SAFETY TIPS • Purchase Halloween costumes that are flame resistant. Avoid costumes with long trailing pieces that may easily ignite. When constructing a costume for children, always keep fire safety in mind. • Children should not carry candles as a light source or as part of a costume. Rather, provide your child with a flashlight.

• Educate children to stay clear of open flames, and other heat sources. Ensure that children know how to perform the STOP, DROP and ROLL method should their clothes catch fire. (Stop immediately, DROP to the ground, and ROLL over and over to extinguish the flames.) • Avoid decorating with candles or torch lights. • Ensure that combustible Halloween decorations such as crepe paper, cornstalks, and dried flowers are kept well away from sources of heat. Keep all exits clear of decorating material. • Purchase and install working smoke alarms and practice home escape plans. Ensure that all children in your home know the locations of all exits. PROTECT YOUR PETS • Keep excitable pets in a quiet room away from the door out of hearing range of the doorbell. • Candy and treats should be kept out of a pet’s reach. Chocolate can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances and even death. • Taffy apples and suckers may be harmless, but a swallowed stick can easily cause an obstruction or perforate the stomach or bowels. • Dispose of treats that are rotten or of poor quality. If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate, consult a veterinarian immediately. • Cats have much different eating habits and seldom are poisoned by chocolate.
