CHILDREN DELIGHTED TO MEET SANTA

Price break for private agencies, liquor at grocers

Carole Rooney

TALENTED YOUTH'S ARTWORK ON DISPLAY A27

Two Sections, 44 pages

Changes to the province’s liquor policies and wholesale pricing will see widespread changes from alcoholic beverages sold in grocery stores to government agencies selling cold beer and wine. While a minimum purchase price will continue to be in place, government touts the change as a move to create a more competitive marketplace by allowing private stores a lower wholesale price. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says under the current pricing rules, rural agencies and other private liquor outlets get a lesser discount, while the new system means everyone will have the same wholesale costs. “The really good part about the whole thing is that it will be a level playing field.” A government press release states more than 50 industry meetings and many written submissions in the recent Liquor Policy Review called for more equitability, including wholesale pricing. “It will help their bottom line, and probably help those who want to hire another employee

but their margins are so low they couldn’t hire anybody,” explains Barnett. “And, if they want to enhance their store, they’ll hopefully have a little more money in their pocket to do things.” Liquor sales will be allowed in grocery stores as of April 1 with consumer access controlled by a “store within a store.” Barnett says her initial concern during the policy review was ensuring large grocery stores adding liquor and government agencies installing refrigeration do not put smaller beerand-wine stores out of business. However, a onekilometre proximity between all liquor agencies will be in effect, which will mean not every grocery store can get a liquor outlet, she says, adding there is also a “big” capital investment involved. “In our small, rural communities, I don’t believe it will make a difference.” The MLA notes there won’t be any more private liquor agencies in a community than were already licensed.

There were several children present at the celebration that kicks off the foundation’s yuletide fundraiser – with proceeds earmarked for an instrument sterilizer.

Gold recovery plant progresses The movement toward a natural resource processing facility in 100 Mile House took a step forward when a zoning amendment was approved on Nov. 12. District of 100 Mile House council adopted the zoning bylaw change after a public hearing held to accept public input. No objections were made and favourable comments were received about the possibility for this new business, which could create up to six jobs. The zoning change allows a potential facility at a Sollows Crescent property owned by local contractor Larry Henderson, which would be leased to Steve Hanson, a partner in IMG Gold Recovery Inc. of Burnaby. Hanson is developing a similar method used in his pilot plant in Burnaby for the recovery of very fine gold, silver and platinum from “black sand” and other tailing materials from former placer mines.

The process is a non-chemical process that uses gravity and a small amount of water to remove the mineral, and then transports any leftover material back out of the community, he explains. Henderson says these may be trucked in from around the province, or even imported. “[IMG] is actually sampling sand from South America, and all over the place. It is interesting stuff, that’s for sure.” The process extracts most of the 90 per cent of minerals left behind by typical placer mining operations, which take only the visible gold, he notes. “These guys’ recovery is phenomenal. Something like 95 per cent ... most people in the placer business usually don’t bother with it.” Henderson says the building is on site, but now that the new zoning is approved, not much will Continued on A4

Garth’s Electric Co. employees Dave Rutledge, left, and Eric Herl helped co-ordinate the Starry Nights 2 Lightup Celebration with Brenda Devine, middle left, and Tanya Lucente.

South Cariboo Health Foundation spokesperson Brenda Devine says she was very happy with the turnout – around 75 people – for the Starry Nights 2 Light-up Celebration at the 100 Mile District General Hospital on Nov. 21. It was great having all of the Fischer Place

hot chocolate, cookies, candy canes, gift bags and glow lights. “It was the perfect time, especially with Santa coming,” she says, adding he was great with both the seniors and the children. Devine notes she was pleased folks could see that the hospital is not just about geriatrics – it’s also about helping families and children. Starry Nights 2 fun-

draising is ongoing for the $72,000 instrument sterilizer. Folks can "Be a Health Star" by sponsoring the display with a minmum $50 donation. The Starry Nights 2 campaign goes until Jan. 31, so folks can still make their donations to the display. For more information, call Brenda at 250-706-2101.

Devine says she spread the word to the younger families she knows and to the local day-care centres to get as many children out to the celebration as possible, and they were rewarded with

Unsuccessful candidates still pleased

The three new councillor candidates, who were unsuccessful in their bid to make it to the District of 100 Mile House council table, after the four incumbents were re-elected on Nov. 15 speak about the experience. Rita Giesbrecht says she is obviously somewhat disappointed she didn’t win, but pleased to see how many people did vote for her. There is a strong possibility she will run again in future, she adds. “Very few people knew me going in, so based on the response, I would say yes.” Giesbrecht explains she “absolutely” does not regret running for council, and meanwhile she will continue to work on things like her lobbying to get The Lodge reopened. “My take away from [the campaign] is the

Liquor price jump unlikely From A1

Suzanne Anton says government expects these changes will “benefit consumers,” enable more competition between retailers and “should not force any change” in shelf prices. Providing lower wholesale liquor pricing to general stores should benefit rural residents, Barnett says, adding that is why those agency licenses were allowed in the first place. “Why should rural residents be charged more than urbanites?” Other changes include allowing breweries improved pricing on greater volumes of lowand medium-priced beer.

topics I was able to bring into the public discourse that had not been there previously.” John McCarvill says he is not surprised by the results, as the voters proved that it is always tough to “knock off ” an incumbent. “A lot of people who were expressing a desire for some change were people who were not

voters [in 100 Mile House].” He adds it is “always a win” when someone wants to serve their community. “I think it stimulated some conversation that may have not happened. And, I think Mayor Mitch Campsall and council are going to be challenged now because they’ve made comments

– in terms of infrastructure particularly – and now, thankfully, that stuff has got to get done.” Peter Reid says he was pleased with what he learned from the process. “I have nothing but admiration for anyone who runs for political office of any kind. “I hope the message

District to receive grantsin-lieu of property taxes The B.C. Liberal government will distribute approximately $17.1 million in compensation for municipal property taxes to 59 communities throughout the province. The District of 100 Mile House will receive $21,738.88. The money is put in general coffers and is used at the District’s discretion. Grants-in-lieu of property taxes are distributed every November to reimburse municipalities for services that benefited government properties, such as municipally run sewers, roads and fire protection. Grants are issued in accordance with the Municipal Aid Act and are payable on land owned by the provincial government, such as courthouses, provincial government office buildings and warehouses. Schools and hospitals

are exempt from paying municipal property taxes and are not part of the grant-in-lieu calculation. Other provincial assets, such as highways, forests, parks or land under the control, management or admin-

istration of a Crown corporation are also excluded from compensation under the act. BC Emergency Health Services is responsible for grantsin-lieu payments for ambulance stations.

Dream fizzles

Site C dam need questioned

he British Columbia cabinet will soon wrestle with its decision on the proposed Site C dam. Is it necessary? If so, how necessary is it? Is it needed now? Do we build it, or do we delay our decision? Is it worth a minimum of $7.9 billion to provide enough power for 450,000 B.C. homes each year? Are there other, cheaper ways of getting this power? And, above all, has BC Hydro got its numbers right? There’s no doubt that Site C has a lot to offer, as outlined in BC Hydro’s business case. An independent report from London Economics International (LEI) a world power-and-infrastructure consultant engaged by Clean Energy BC, challenges Hydro on this. LEI finds BC Hydro’s last cost-estimate of $7.9 billion “may be significantly underestimated.” LEI notes

GUEST SHOT

ands up everyone who remembers Premier Christy Clark travelling around the province during the lead-up to the last provincial election promising folks liquefied natural gas (LNG) export will solve all of British Columbia’s economic woes. The B.C. Liberals were trailing the NDP, led by Adrian Dix, by 20 points in the popularity polls at the time and Clark had to do something to pull her party up in the race. And she did! She told British Columbians, that if they voted for the B.C. Liberals, they would get economic prosperity. The new economic driver would be based on the production and export of LNG to the world. LNG would be the goose that lays the golden egg. It was going to bring a 39,000 jobs in construction and another 75,000 once the LNG plants are in operation. Certainly, infrastructure for the communities, which will serve as bedroom and service centres for proposed LNG plants and pipeline construction employees, are booming. However, the numbers forecasted by a desperate premier in an election campaign won’t reach those job levels any time soon – if at all. Premier Clark’s optimism was such that she told British Columbians the LNG program would not only create jobs, but the revenue would also pay off B.C.’s growing debt load. These two election promises, and NDP Leader Adrian Dix’s bungling, pulled the B.C. Liberals up in the polls and brought them within striking distance of the New Democrats. Then came the coup de grace – Clark told the electorate that when the province’s debt was paid off, her government would protect the principal in its Prosperity Fund, which would pay for better education, health and other services for “generations” to come. Well, the thought of economic prosperity for future generations painted a joyful picture and it put the B.C. Liberals over the top. The electorate bought into these election promises despite the fact experts warned the LNG production/ consumption picture was in flux and the B.C. Liberals were well behind other countries in LNG production and export. The government had targeted China as its primary customer, but that died when it signed a long-term deal with Russia. Now, Petronas is playing hardball negotiations with the B.C. Liberals and BG Gas has postponed its LNG project in Prince George due the financial considerations and the glut of LNG on the world market. The B.C. Liberals have been forced to lower their LNG production tax in hopes of staying competitive. Christy Clark’s dream is not looking as golden as it did before the election. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn into a nightmare.

• It says the “rightsizing and right-timing” of smaller plants would bring such savings over 70 years, the assumed “economic life” of Site C. LEI also found that in addition to cost, smaller clean-energy plants offer other advantages: geographic dispersion around the province, greater ability to adapt procurement to reflect evolving supply needs, technological diversity, and “more plentiful and meaningful opportunities for First Nations participation.” Clean Energy BC has long pushed for a fresh power call; there hasn’t been one since 2008. And if ever there was a time and a reason for a comprehensive power call, the LEI report shows it is now.

Opinion

Reader believes BC Hydro discriminatory

To the editor: This is an open letter to Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett. I am writing with a charge the legacy fees being applied by BC Hydro are discriminatory and in violation of your intent as stated to the public, as well as in Directive 4, Meter Choice. In numerous articles, you explained the special opt-out fees charged to those with non-smart meters were required to cover “extra costs and manual meter readings.” The public and the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) was led to believe all smart meters

were being read remotely, and that only “legacy meters” required manual reading, which results in additional costs. This was not true. Many smart meters are not fully functional, requiring manual reading, and many will require this additional service for some time to come. These customers are not being charged additional fees for this additional service. According to Section 25 of the Utilities Commission Act, BC Hydro cannot act in a manner that is unfair, unreasonable or discriminatory.

Tories’ EI plan will kill 9,200 jobs To the editor: The federal Conservatives will be charging Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars in Employment Insurance (EI) taxes – more than what is needed to pay for the program’s benefits, according to a recent report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). The PBO says these artificially high taxes will cost the Canadian economy 10,000 jobs over the next two years. The PBO also found that another EI program, the Conservatives’ Small Business Job Credit, will create only 800 jobs over two years despite a price tag of more than $550 million. That means it will cost Canadian taxpayers nearly $700,000 for each new job. In some cases, this “job” credit will even pay employers to lay off workers, leading economists to call it a “disincentive to growth.” Together these two Conservative EI policies are expected to kill

9,200 Canadian jobs. So why are the Conservatives going ahead with their EI scheme? The Conservatives are using excessively high EI taxes to help create a federal surplus on the eve of an election. They have grown out-of-touch with the priorities of Canadians and are putting politics ahead of Canadian jobs. Meanwhile, Canadians continues to face slow economic growth and disturbingly high rates of long-term unemployment. Growth in some provinces is being offset by weaker economies elsewhere in the country. Canadians deserve a plan from their government to create jobs and growth across the country. But instead of strengthening the Canadian economy, the Conservative EI plan will leave thousands of Canadians out of work.

I charge BC Hydro, by providing a service to some customers without an additional fee while charging other customers $32.40 per month for the very same service, is unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory. The BCUC believes it has no authority to respond to this charge because it has no authority in any aspect of the smart meter program except setting rates. I argue the BCUC is abrogating its limited responsibility since this complaint pertains to rates, but the BCUC is responding to pressure from your office. Therefore, I ask you, Mr. Bennett, to order

BC Hydro to stop this discriminatory practise until all smart meters are fully functional and are being read remotely. All monies collected illegally to date should be refunded. If you refuse to do so, I ask you please to justify and explain your decision to the citizens of British Columbia to allow a Crown corporation to treat its customers in a manner which is illegal under the Utilities Commission Act and runs counter to your own directive. Sharon Noble, director Coalition to Stop Smart Meters

Fletcher fails to do his homework Victoria councillor takes exception to Tom Fletcher’s column

To the editor: Re: Report card time for local politicians (Guest Shot, page A8 Sept. 24). My track record advocating for cost-effective delivery of municipal services, fiscal discipline in major infrastructure projects, open government and safety in our communities is clear. Voters and municipal officials from across the political spectrum value this contribution at Victoria City Hall, which has saved taxpayers money, improved public services and helped to make the municipality more responsive to resident concerns. Tom Fletcher chooses to ignore this track record in his Scott Brison, MP column, perhaps because he has Liberal Finance Critic not attended a single meeting

of Victoria city council or the Capital Regional District since I was elected to represent the people of Victoria three years ago. Alongside my work on municipal issues, the people of Victoria have asked me to stand up and advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care about that impact our community. This includes the threat of oil tankers and pipelines on coastal communities and interior waterways; attacks on our postal system and education system and the workers who deliver those services; and the rights of First Nations on issues, including sacred burial sites and land development. The Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the Federation

of Canadian Municipalities are legitimate channels for dialogue between local government and the provincial and federal governments. At this year’s UBCM convention, I spoke directly with Premier Christy Clark and her ministers on matters affecting the City of Victoria and Capital Region, helping to build relationships and find solutions that will benefit the community that I am elected to represent. Fletcher is entitled to his views, as I told him during a conversation at UBCM. But I think we would all benefit if he did his homework first. Councillor Ben Isitt Victoria

BC VIEWS

hen the B.C. Liberal government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in British Columbia’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union (BCGEU) didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates. How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released a graph that suggests

will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket science. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higheralcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the province Smuggling meth chemicals through border ALBERGROVE — Two people from Chilliwack have been charged with trying to smuggle methamphetamine chemicals through the Aldergrove border crossing. The border was shut down for about an hour on Sunday night (Nov. 23) after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers made the discovery in a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am. The car arrived at the border around 7 p.m. with a plastic tote tub sealed with plastic wrap containing an unknown liquid and other suspicious materials in the rear seat area. A U.S. customs officer became ill after breathing fumes from the materials. The crossing was shut down in both directions and the officer was rushed to Saint Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham. A Haz-Mat (hazardous materials) team was called in to remove what appeared to be chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine. The border was re-opened after about an hour. On Monday, 41-year-old Calum James Buchanan and 24-year-old Lola Crystal McKay, both from Chilliwack, appeared before a Whatcom County judge on a charge of possession with intent to manufacture. One dead in crash, closes Trans-Canada REVELSTOKE — One person has died after two semis collided on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Revelstoke Monday night. The Trans-Canada was closed for 13 hours as a result of the crash that took place about 20 kilometres west of Revelstoke on Nov. 24 at around 8:45 p.m. RCMP say the crash happened when a westbound tractor-trailer jackknifed across the highway, blocking both lanes of traffic. An eastbound semi smashed into the jackknifed vehicle at the axles causing major damage to both vehicles. The driver of the eastbound vehicle experienced major injuries and died at the scene. One semi was hauling cut lumber and spilled it's load. Fuel spills are also being addressed.

Pedestrian struck by truck

At 3:15 a.m. on Nov. 22, police and emergency crews from 100 Mile House were called to a serious collision on Highway 97 near the intersection of Tatton Station Road. A 25-year-old male, believed to be from Prince George, had been walking in the middle of the north-bound lane at that location. The driver of a fully loaded transport truck was travelling north

bound at a reduced rate of speed. The pedestrian was struck by the tractor unit and carried north approximately 130 feet. The man was severely injured but conscious when ambulance and rescue crews arrived on scene. He was transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital, stabilized and subsequently taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and is recovering from

The investigation into the collision is continuing, but no charges are being considered at this time.

On Nov. 19, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a collision between a small passenger vehicle and a logging truck at the 17-kilometre marker on Canim Lake Road South. The collision occurred in the middle of a corner. No one was injured in this collision, but there was considerable damage to the P.T.

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 69 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls. Truck stolen On Nov. 22, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report that a black 2004 Chevrolet pickup had been stolen from the parking lot of the Cariboo Mall in 100 Mile House. Close to the same time that this vehicle was being reported, Williams Lake RCMP received a report of a similar vehicle being abandoned at the 150 Mile House Husky Gas Station. Two female suspects were observed leaving the truck. Both of these suspects were arrested by Williams Lake RCMP near 150 Mile House and the stolen vehicle was recovered. The two

female suspects were released from custody on the charges of theft and possession of stolen property with a court date of Feb. 10, 2015 in 100 Mile House. The investigation into this theft is continuing. Prohibited driver On Nov. 20, CaribooChilcotin Traffic Services provided assistance to a Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement inspector near Lone Butte. The male driver of an older model yellow pick-up truck had been pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt.

Lower Mainland-based telephone scam underway Iris Henderson of Lac la Hache wants folks to know there is another telephone scam underway in the South Cariboo. On Nov. 19, she received a call from a woman who claimed Iris was a winner of Set For Life Lottery through an international company that sells book and magazine subscriptions. The caller, who claimed she was the

Canadian contact for the publishers clearing house company, told Iris she had won $950,000. The woman correctly noted Iris had Reader’s Digest subscription, confirmed her address and phone number and told her the company would take care of the taxes. When Iris told the caller she had to hang up to attend to some other business, the

caller gave her a code name to use – Matty. Iris notes that the first call came from a Lower Mainland phone number – 604-4463092, but all return phone calls came up as unknown caller on her call display. The Lac la Hache resident says she avoided picking up the unknown caller phone calls on Nov. 19, but

Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) held its annual food drive, Nov. 2. Spokesperson Montana Forster noted they probably received 400 pounds of food in

spite of many residents not being home, as well as $308.45 in cash. He thanked firefighters Steve Colbert, Dave Gardner, Brian Green, Jake Knudsen, Ted Weight and Dan Wiebe for all their hard work. All proceeds were delivered to Interlakes Hall to help fill Interlakes Christmas Giftboxes. Anyone who is willing to help assemble and distribute the gifts from Interlakes Hall (probably Dec. 20-21) is asked to call this writer.

Local author has new book

Ken Alexander Free Press

Forest Grove renowned author and storyteller Marianne Van Osch has put together a collection of short stories, entitled Cariboo Christmas, for the yuletide season. “Short stories are often the result of a small piece of reality that inspires a writer to spin a story around and beyond the actual event.”

The book also includes two essays and a poem, Van Osch says, adding local artist Tom Godin provided his enchanting illustrations for the book. She notes Eclectica Community Choir will be doing a reading of her Little Clara’s Christmas at its annual Christmas performance. Van Osch will be signing books at Nuthatch Books in 100 Mile House on Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ladies auxiliary DLDVFD Ladies Auxiliary’s (LA) Nov. 12 meeting welcomed new member Phyllis Barry who has moved into the McCune home. It was noted Pat Pasanen is due to receive her 15 year service pin and Lori Simmons won the award for most raffle tickets sold in 2014. Members were reminded of their inhouse Christmas party, Dec. 3, which starts at 5 p.m. The evening includes silly games, service awards and the in-house auction. Funds raised at the party are already earmarked for the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society and the LA will match the amount for the SPCA. Members should bring a dish of finger food, $10 for auction bids, two or three dollar-store prizes for the games, and something to be auctioned. The LA welcoming committee has visited 16 new residents since April – 14 at Deka and

Royal LePage helps fill Santa’s sack

The Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty realtors are reaching out for community support for their Christmas Helper campaign for local people in need. Royal LePage spokesperson Ron Kelly says they have now begun accepting donations of non-perishable food, toys and cash, which will then be spent on these items. Each year, 100 Mile House residents and businesses are always generous in adding to the realtors’ cash donations that kick off the campaign, he explains. Christmas Helper donations are being collected at the local Royal LePage office (beside the Red Coach Inn), and The Bargain Shop in Cariboo Mall, where shoppers can purchase a little something extra and drop it into a big campaign box, he notes.

and Larry McCrea Law Corp. donate significant cash each year for the realtors to buy more toys and food for Santa’s Corner. Collections will continue until New Years Eve, but distributions will begin in mid-December, with everything handed out

to the community’s families and individuals with the greatest need. Local organizations that distribute the donations are Loaves and Fishes Outreach, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society and the Youth Zone.

Dear Canimites, Well, the first good snow is gently falling as I write. As Marga Hausmann said, “The swans have arrived. The snow won’t be far behind.” Christmas dinner The Community Club’s annual Christmas dinner will be held at the Forest Grove Legion on Dec. 15. The turkey feast will start around 5 p.m. with beverages followed by appies and dinner at 6. The cost is $20 per person. The Legion is again doing the cooking, so it’s going to be tasty! To reserve your place, contact Dolores Angell by Dec. 7 at 250397-0220 or e-mail angellpinecone@live. ca. Bachelor bake The annual plumpup-the-bachelorsbefore-Christmas baking event will be held in Margo’s Cabin on Dec. 18 at 10 a.m. The good women of Hawkins and Canim lakes bake their best cookies and squares, bring them all to the cabin, and then divide them into as many containers as there are bachelors in the area. Tied neatly with a Christmas bow, they are then delivered. If you know of

a bachelor, man or woman, who has not received this gift in the past, please let Dolores Angell know. Otherwise, come on out with your baking to join the fun – everyone welcome. Slide repaired The Bluebird Road slide has been repaired. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure area manager Terry Murphy

says water coming down and under Bluebird from the Canim-Hendrix Road above saturated the fill under Bluebird causing it to slough down the hillside. To solve the problem, drainage from Canim-Hendrix Road was re-routed, Bluebird’s base was given the summer to dry out, and then about 60 tandem truck loads of fill were used to restore the road to full

width. People news • Marion Kellett will be celebrating her 96th birthday on December 3 in her home at Fischer Place. • Toody Shirran’s sister, Tink, is with her at the farm for the winter.

Visitors encouraged to enjoy yuletide magic of Barkerville

Come to Barkerville a fortnight before Christmas and “hear those sleigh bells jingleing, ring ting tingle-ing too….” through the snowy streets of British Columbia’s Gold Rush Town. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 13-15, Barkerville is open – admission is by donation (either monetary or a non-perishable food item for the Wells Legion holiday hamper program) - and the National Historic Site will be bustling with special events and activities for yuletide revellers looking to experience some wintertime magic, nestled under an elegant blanket of white. “Barkerville in December is a totally unique holiday destination,” says Ed Coleman, Barkerville’s chief executive officer. “With our onsite bed and breakfasts booking overnight stays for the weekend, families and friends can experience a one-of-a-kind immersive stay in a truly historic setting.” Daytime guests can sip some tasty apple cider while shopping

for one-of-a-kind gifts and carefully crafted Christmas decorations at the Mason and Daly General Merchants, C. Strouss & Company Dry Goods, and McPherson’s Watchmakers and Jewelry Store. The Cameron and Ames Blacksmith Shop will be offering handforged treasures and lumps of coal for those with unusual “naughty and nice” lists to consider, and McMahon’s Confectionary is sure to satisfy the sweet tooth of the most carefully hung stocking. The Goldfield Bakery will have soup and sandwiches for lunch, as well as traditional 1930s Christmas goodies to take home, and a stop by the Wendle House is sure to whet the appetite with an atmosphere of traditional Victorian

cookery and fireside conversation. Visitors are encouraged to wander among a variety of Barkerville’s beautiful museum displays, take a history-filled guided tour of the main street, attend Sunday services at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, and have a photo taken with Father Christmas in the “Enchanted Forest.” The Hanson Family, an award-winning singing group from Oregon and popular draw at Barkerville’s annual Cowboy and Drover Jubilee, will perform a special concert of traditional Christmas carols at 1 p.m. every day at the Methodist Church.” The beautiful harmonies and vocal arrangements of the Hanson Family have gained them recog-

Gaven Crites Free Press

Wreckers and Grapes hosted Jets, Raiders, Broncos, Hawks and Snipers at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100 Mile House, Nov. 21-23. Teams from Williams Lake, Chase, Kamloops and Abbotsford hit the ice for a 100 Mile House & District Minor Hockey Association peewee house

league tournament. The local teams – A&M Towing Wreckers and Ainsworth Grapes – found the back of the net a number times over the weekend, and went head-tohead on Nov. 21. The Grapes held off a late Wreckers attack for a 3-2 win. In that game, Dirk Verheul, Dylan Newhook and Brendon Scott scored in the second period for the

Grapes, while Julian Zucchelli and Kaden Lobsinger tallied goals for the Wreckers in the third period. Assists for the Grapes went to Newhook, Camille Barton and Owen Ross. Tyson Fitzgerald and Kade Livingston made assists for the Wreckers. Throughout the rest of the tourney, Zucchelli scored three more for A&M Towing and Lobsinger and Livingston made assists.

Wranglers cool Heat, Storm brewing

The 100 Mile House Wranglers rode right up to second place in the Doug Birks Division last weekend, and now sit third one point behind the Sicamous Eagles. While the local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club got rolled late by the Revelstoke Grizzlies, 6-3, on Nov. 22, it managed to cool the Chase Heat, 6-5, in overtime on Nov. 21. Tied 2-2 going into the third period in Revelstoke, the Grizzlies tallied four late goals for the win. Micky Turner, Tavis Roch and Nick Headrick found the back of the net for 100 Mile House. Jayden Syrota, Brett Harris, Headrick, Devan Suidy and Stephen Egan tallied assists. Quinn Ferris stopped 41 shots in the loss. Against the Heat in Chase, Suidy, the Wranglers' captain, lit the lamp three times, including the game-winning goal in extra time. Kristian Stead made 36 saves between

the pipes for the OT win. Tyler Garcia, M. Turner and Cole Weber also scored for 100 Mile House. Syrota (2), Michael Lynch, A. Turner, Harris, Headrick and Cole Zimmerman (2) tallied assists. At the start of the season, Suidy set a torrent points pace. And while he's still the Wranglers' second leading scorer with 23 points, behind Headrick with 24, the captain's production had slowed some since then, before erupting for that hat trick, playing alongside A. Turner and Harris on the team's top line. However, Suidy says he's not too worried about getting his name on the scoresheet; the points will come when they come. “I don't feel I've been playing any different,” he says. “I don't look at the stat sheet everyday. At the beginning, I was getting a lot of lucky bounces in front of the net and stuff. All the ones that

would have landed on my stick back then are going off my shin pads now.” Commenting on the weekend in general, Suidy mentions the trouble the team bus had getting to Revelstoke due to a bad accident on the highway. The club reached the rink not long before puck drop, which didn't give the Wranglers much time for essential pre-game preparations, even with a game-delay of 30 minutes. Still, he says: “Those were two games we should have won.” The win against Chase was a good one, Suidy adds. “We pretty much bullied them. When we did that, they would cough up the puck. We did what we did well in that game: we cycled, we hit, and things went our way.” The Wranglers' specialty teams struggled throughout the weekend, explains coach Dale Hladun.

“Of the 11 goals against us, six were power play goals and two were shorthanded goals. We will be addressing that through this week of practice. I felt we were the stronger team in both games when it came to five-on-five hockey.” A. Turner and Egan were called up to play with the Prince George Spruce Kings when the British Columbia Hockey League team hosted the Kelowna Warriors on Nov. 25. The Wranglers, with four games in hand, are eight points behind the Kamloops Storm for the Doug Birks Division lead, at about the midway point of the season. In its last 12 games, the Wranglers have eight wins. They're among the best in the league in that recent stretch. The Wranglers and Storm meet in Williams Lake on Nov. 28 and in 100 Mile House on Nov. 29. “We have a big weekend against Kamloops coming up,” Suidy says. “That will hopefully put us right back close to first again.”

The 100 Mile House Bridge Lake Electric atom development hockey team took the ice in Salmon Arm Nov. 22-23. The local skaters placed seventh in the 10-team tournament with a win over Penticton and a nail-bitter tie against Vancouver. Jayden Monical, Easton Mills, Kyle Sanford and Shayne Sutton won MVP awards. Heart and Hustle awards went to Kyson Hopson, Noah Sanders, Nolan Duff and Daniel Villeneuve.

TURKEY SHOOT Local shooter Ted Swift was on target. The 100 Mile House resident, and partner Jim O’Brien, won a buddy shoot event at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association's annual fall Turkey Shoot recently. The event saw close to 40 trap shooters from around the Cariboo.

MICA MOUNTAIN The Mica Mountain Riders Association is revving up for the season, hosting a 6th Annual Fundraiser. The social evening will feature an auction, light dinner, drinks, 50/50, treasure chest giveaway, door prizes and music. Doors open at 6 p.m. at Marmot Ridge in 100 Mile House on Dec. 6. Tickets cost $20 and are available at Performance AllTerrain, Cariboo Supply & Marine, South Cariboo Motorsports and Exeter Forest & Marine.

'Curling wizards' top of league There's no shortage of action at the 100 Mile House Curling Club right now. In its Mixed League, Bill Pratt's rink leads the way with 10 points, followed by Richard Minato and Ed Ney rinks with eight points, Bill Todhunter with five, Char Marshall with four, and Duane Ney with one. E. Ney's rink is on top of the Men's League standings with 10 points. Dennis Gosselin (eight), John Atkinson (six), Chris Betuzzi (four), Dustin Leduc (four) and Jim Mitchell (two) follow behind. In the Ladies' League, Marcy Hamilton's 11 points are top. Joanne Doddridge's rink (nine) is second, followed by Marg Folk (eight), Hannah Lindner (six), Lorraine Young (six), Hollis Ney (six), Arlene Jongbloets (two) and Diana Zielke (zero). “In our Mixed League, the usual three teams are at the top of the standings, but there is one female skip that is holding her own,” says 100 Mile House Curling Club spokesperson Wayne Venos. “Char Marshall is the only female skip in mixed play and has been involved in a lot of close games. Also last week, a father and son combo, Ed and Duane Ney, had a real squeaker of a game for family bragging rights, with daddy Ed squeezing past his son Duane 8-7 in a game that went down to the last stone.” Ed Ney's consistent play keeps him on top in Men's League action, Venos adds. “Runner-up last year to John Atkinson's rink in league and playoff showdowns has

apparently given him new determination to dominate everyone this season. Dennis Gosselin's young studs could possibly be the only roadblock to Ney's plan to terrorize everyone, losing only one game so far to Atkinson's geriatric rink.” Marcy Hamilton's rink is undefeated so far at the top of the Ladies' League. “These curling wizards travel all the way in from Bridge Lake every Thursday night and have definitely made their long drive count,” Venos says. “Joanne Doddridge's experienced girls are hanging in there at second with their only loss being to Margie Folk in the first week of curling.

Doddridge's rink won everything last year, so they should be in the thick of things right until the end of the season. It is so good to see Marg Folk return to the ice after a two-year absence from curling. A longtime curler in the Cariboo, Marg is like a fine wine, only getting better with age.” Folk has inspired her girls this year with her leadership and sparkling personality, Venos continues. “There is a lot of love on this rink as well as many laughs, so look for this foursome to be in the thick of things at the end of the season.” Meanwhile, a Business League on Monday nights has six teams curling, having a lot of fun with a lot of

newcomers involved. Also, over 40 junior curlers are learning new skills as well as playing games, on Tuesdays as part of a junior curling program, headed by Maxine Todhunter and assisted by other curling club members.

“These young stars are the future of curling, and with the numbers we have in our club, this bodes well for curling in 100 Mile House,” Venos says. There is always room for more curlers during Wednesday drop in sessions.

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

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

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

Birch Avenue going to the dogs Before the dogs pound the snow for the big pull around the 108 Heritage Site, community members are invited to a street festival on Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House to celebrate the start of a this region’s premier annual sled dog racing event.

Obituaries DoNN

Jerry edward March 13, 1936 - Nov. 7, 2014

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend on Nov. 7, 2014. Jerry was pre-deceased by parents Jim and Marie, and son Jim. Jerry is survived by his wife of 53 years, Joan; daughters Cathy (Gauri) and Jeri-Lynne; brother Bob (Marilyn); sister Deb; grandchildren, Sara, Amanda and Jamie; great grandchildren Jordan, Aiden, Max and Lucas; furbabies Oliver and Lily; as well as extended family and many friends . Born and raised in Vancouver and later on a farm in Port Kells, Jerry settled in Cloverdale with his wife Joan where they raised their three children and resided for 30 years. Relocating to 108 Mile Ranch after an early retirement meant Jerry was able to pursue his love of fishing and hunting full time. Jerry will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A celebration of Jerry’s life will be held on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014 at 1 p.m. at the Donn residence in the 108. In lieu of flowers, donations to the 100 Mile District Hospital or the Canadian Diabetes Association in Jerry’s memory would be appreciated.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Love Lives On Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one is gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart. - Unknown -

Eva LaBossiere Born: Grande Prairie, AB February 8, 1921 Died: Williams Lake, BC November 13, 2014

Eva died peacefully in her home at the Williams Lake Seniors’ Village on the morning of November 13th. She was predeceased by her husband Emilien (Emil) and their son Patrick. She is survived by her only sibling, Claire Whitmore, of Clearwater, BC, as well as her children Donna (Rick) Waraksa, Marie (Terry) Johnstone, Gabrielle (Mike) Hadden, Emil (Karen) LaBossiere, 10 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Born the daughter of homesteaders in Bear Lake in the Peace River region, Eva learned to be hardworking and resourceful. These qualities were crucial in meeting her life’s challenges, the greatest being polio. And although she grew up with few material possessions, her life was rich with friends and family. While growing up, she attended the “Canuck” School near Bear Lake, as well as convent schools in both Donnelly and Grande Prairie. After graduating from high school in Grande Prairie, she attended Normal School in Edmonton for one year before starting her long teaching career and a life of being ‘on the move’. Eva’s first teaching position, at the age of 17, was close to home at the “old” McHenry School. From there her career led her to Halkirk, Vimy, Nelson, Slocan Park and Kaslo. While teaching in Kaslo, Eva meet Emil, her husband of 48 years. Shortly after their wedding in Nelson, they moved to Edmonton and then on to Campbell River, Taylor Flats, Fort St. John, back to Edmonton, then to 100 Mile House, and finally to Williams Lake for her last year. As previously mentioned, one of Eva’s greatest challenges, which impacted her entire life, was contracting polio in 1953 at the age of 33. Her third child, Marie, was the first baby born on the polio ward of the Edmonton General Hospital. Eva was extremely courageous and determined to overcome all obstacles when she left the hospital and, over the years, progressed from using a wheelchair to walking with leg braces, then using crutches, then walking with a cane, and finally had the ability to walk on her own. After her first few years of learning to walk again, Eva resumed her teaching career and taught until the age of 65. She has left her legacy by having an annual student award presented in her name at the 100 Mile Elementary School. Our family would like to express our most sincere gratitude to all of Mom’s devoted caretakers at Carefree Manor, Fischer Place, Mill Site Lodge, and Williams Lake Seniors’ Village. As well, we are very appreciative of the support and assistance given to us at the funeral and Celebration of Eva’s Life by the St. Jude’s Catholic Women’s League. Many others have helped and supported our family through the past few weeks. Thank you all.

We are sorry to announce that our awesome friend, Andréa, passed away peacefully in Vancouver on November 18, 2014. Andréa was born in East Germany and came to work in Vancouver as a nanny in 1989. She eventually moved to Nanaimo to do a bachelor in psychology and then moved to Lac la Hache in October, 2011. We want to especially thank Dr. Lapin, Dr. Hutchinson, Dr. Wilden, and all the wonderful nurses and care aids at home support and at our local hospital, as well as, Susann C. and the CMHA staff; Kathy and the Horton Ventures’ staff; and also Jane L., Violet, Scott, Wendy, Gordy and Louise, Janine F., Gail C., Pat W. and all her friends in the Cariboo. Andréa has really enjoyed the beauty and support from this wonderful community. We will certainly miss her laughter and her joy for life as she has touched so many lives. As we all knew Andréa, she would love to have any donations to go to the 100 Mile House Cariboo Companion Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Society, 250-395-8951. Love you always Andréa!

Jan. 20 ,1925, - Nov. 16, 2014

After a lengthy battle with cancer, Dan passed away quietly at Hospice House on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014. Dan and his twin brother Sam were born in a cabin at Buck Lake, Alberta, on Jan. 20, 1925, joining their brother John and sister Taffy. Dan served in the Canadian Armed Forces towards the end of WWII. Following his service, he did a variety of work from bartending to construction before completing his plumbing and heating apprenticeship. Dan then operated his own commercial plumbing and heating business in Calgary. During this time he met and married Joyce. They moved to 100 Mile House in the early ‘80s and built their retirement home on Fawn Lake Road. They both worked as guards for the local RCMP detachment. When Joyce became ill, they and their much loved little dog “Brew”, moved to Kamloops in 1995. Joyce passed away on June 21, 1998. Dan was happiest keeping busy with home improvements, gardening, fishing and camping. He made a few trips across Canada in his motor home, supporting the Canadian Legions and Army and Navy Clubs wherever his travels took him. He, along with his friend and companion Verna, also enjoyed trips to Mexico, Cuba and the Panama Canal. A few years ago, Dan added a new dog to his home and “Abba” brought a great deal of happiness and comfort to both Dan and Verna. As well as Joyce, Dan is predeceased by his parents, siblings and nephew Lenny. He is survived by Verna Lister and her family: Dave (Terry) Prehara, Mike (Sue) Prehara and Debbie (Harry) Miller, as well as Joyce’s children: Donna (Ken) Youngson-Gay, Bruce (Glenys) Youngson and Linda Youngson, and Lenny’s wife Marion Haller and various nieces and nephews. We wish to thank Dr Jennifer Thomas, the medical staff at RIH and Home Care, and the staff of Hospice House for their care of Dan. Dan requested there be no service, however there will be an informal gathering for friends and family to remember Dan on Friday, Nov. 28, 2014 at The Army & Navy Club, #9 – 177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops (the former Beach House Restaurant), from 2 to 5 p.m. If you wish to make a donation in Dan’s memory, consider the Kamloops Hospice Association or the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon Division.

Winter safety on Search and Rescue radar

South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SCSAR) volunteers are prepared for winter, and would like to remind the public to do the same. SCSAR has partnered with the Mica Mountain Riders Association (MMRA) to host an Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 Course in 100 Mile House, Dec. 13-14. The two-day program will help snowmobilers understand the basics of avalanches, identify avalanche terrain, how to make decisions to safely travel through avalanche terrain, and carry out companion rescues. There are no prerequisites for taking the course at the SCSAR Hall at 5830 Horse Lake Rd. However,

attendees must provide a snowmobile. The cost is $320 or $300 for SCSAR and MMRA members. Meanwhile, SCSAR’s avalanche response team has planned a number of reconnaissance rides to check avalanche conditions on a number of local mountains. The MMRA is also preparing for an exciting season. Memberships are avail-

able at a reduced rate until Nov. 30 at all local snowmobile dealerships. Membership fees finance fuel for the snow groomer, but also allow the club to support the area’s management organization, which continues to work hard to keep open the Mica Mountain riding area east of 100 Mile House. For further information, contact Shane Gunn at 250-945-9450.

Local student embraces Japanese style art

A wall at Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House is currently adorned with a bevy of colourful manga-style characters created by a young local artist. Violet Stock, 13, took up the Japanese art form about three years ago; now close to a dozen of her most recent drawings are on display at the local gallery. The artist likes to draw whenever she can – using copic markers, watercolour pencils and coloured pencils. Her influences include popular manga artists Masashi Kishimoto and Tite Kubo.

Nutritious food sought Food donations are needed for vulnerable people living in South Cariboo communities. The South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC) has found evidence of increased need by families and individuals living in poverty for nutritious food to provide basic nourishment particularly throughout the winter months, says SCCPC executive co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt. This need is evident for all ages, she adds. Local action The South Cariboo Food Security Committee (SCFSC) has been working hard to create a food “safety net” to sustain an adequate healthy food supply for all. Creating food security for an area of our size takes time, commitment, contributions and ongoing work across the community to put in place, says Smirfitt. “Many small community groups and volunteers work hard to provide help and extra support through various ways at this time of year. Other, larger organizations, pull together to share services and resources, as they, too, identify food need in the community has grown and, unfortunately, our communities are not all at the stage where we can meet all needs, especially at this time of year.” These efforts are tremendously important, and yet, some gaps still exist, she adds. Community impacts What does this mean for local organizations who work at the ground level to support individuals and families? 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre executive director Sonja Ramsay says a lack of nourishing food in the cupboard impacts the ability of the Women’s Centre to meet the needs of individuals who need this support for the basics of daily living. “At this time of year,

the situation is particularly painful,” she explains. “We work to support women and their families to be safe and this task is especially difficult when it is hard to put food on the table.” What can you do? 100 Mile House is a small town that celebrates the friendliness and caring attitudes that come with knowing many of our neighbours, notes Smirfitt. Many people have already made connections to clubs and organizations that support people who need support, particularly at this time of year, she says, adding this may be through the Food Bank or Loaves and Fishes Outreach. It may also be through the organizations, often registered charities, that provide support year round and have become safe places for people to access services – the Women’s Centre, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Canadian Mental Health AssociationSouth Cariboo Branch, Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy and Cedar Crest Society for Community Living. “You may be part of a church community or local community hall, school, volunteer fire department or neighbourhood group. Please give some thought to how you might reach out through food or cash donations that can support food initiatives in the South Cariboo.” Folks who require further contact information can call 250-395-5642 or check out the “Well on the Way” newsletter that can be viewed on the District of 100 Mile House site at www.100milehouse.com –click on community links and scroll down to the newsletter file under the South Cariboo Community Planning Council. Every donation matters and makes a difference, Smirfitt says.

Great start to new Halloween tradition

Organizers didn’t know what to expect at a new location, but this year’s annual Halloween event saw a lot of community support and frightful fun for families. More than 600 visitors took in Hysterical Halloween at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 31, estimates organizer Ingrid Meyer. The event featured a “Hillbilly Horror” exhibit and a Kids Zone organized by the 2015 grad class at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO), as well as a giant bonfire by the 108 Lions, concession stands and games. Next year, Meyer says she is hoping to bring back a popular fireworks display. “I want to thank the whole community for

coming out and supporting this wonderful event.” The PSO group received great feedback and approximately 500 visitors strolled through its spooky exhibits, while raising money for 2015 graduation festivities. “It was a great start to a new Halloween tra-

dition, which will only get bigger and better in the years to follow,” says organizer Priscillia Remanente “A big thank you goes to the 100 Mile & District Historical Society for hosting the event and to all our sponsors and donations towards putting this event on.”

100 MILE HOUSE • 250-395-5303 for these Best Buys! Nutro COLD WEATHER SAFETY TIP: Temperatures are dropping and the local lakes, ponds Natural Choice and waterways are just starting to freeze over. When walking with your dog please keep them on a leash around waterways if you are unsure of the safety of the ice. Animals don’t realize what “thin ice” is. Once they fall in, it is very difficult for them to climb out and hypothermia or drowning are very real and life-threatening dangers. Keep yourself and your dog safe! Over 50 per cent of ice related drownings involved an attempted rescue of another person or a dog. Once frozen lakes and ponds are safe to enjoy some winter fun please also remember that “ice skating” dogs are prone to injuries such as cruciate tears if allowed to “skate” with their humans. This is also true of icy walks. VIEW ANIMALS AT: www.spca.bc.ca/100milehouse

100 Mile Lions dinner/ auction enjoyed by all

Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile House Lions Club’s annual dinner/auction was a huge success on Nov. 15, Lion Kim Taylor says, adding everyone seemed to have a great time. Some 115 people attended the Lions major fundraiser of the year at the 100 Mile Community Hall, where $11,500 was raised, which will be dispersed locally, she adds. “It was a great turnout and it was up significantly from last year’s event. It was up there with some of our best turnouts for the dinner/ auction.” Taylor notes the club gives money to the soccer fields, South Cariboo Health Foundation, school scholarships, local cadets, White Cane Club, people in need and many other donations. The evening started with a couple of fun games to warm up the crowd before the great dinner put on by BJ’s Donuts & Eatery, she says. There were silent and live auctions and she adds Lions secretary Ron Graves and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett did at great job as auctioneers.

Melissa Linnell had a great time trying out the ski goggles, which have a camera attached to them, that were on the auction block during the 100 Mile House Lions Club’s annual dinner/auction on Nov. 15. Event organizer Kim Taylor says everyone at the 100 Mile Community Hall had a great time and the 115 people who showed up raised $11,500, which will be dispersed locally by the Lions.

Attention

Taylor says a pair of ski goggles with a camera attached was probably the most unique item on the auction block and it garnered a lot of attention. “All in all, it was a great night.”

A: In a word: “Yes.” The key to an owner’s liability for

injuries caused by a pet is knowledge. If little Fido causes serious harm – but has never before shown any tendency to be vicious, then his/her owner may not be responsible for the injuries which Fido causes. In a Saskatchewan case (Ross v. Vidnes, 2012 08 07, Sask QB), Austin Ross, a 7 year old weighing around 70 pounds, was attacked by a St. Bernard weighing in at approximately 145 pounds. The dog bit Austin’s face tearing off skin, nerves and fatty tissue. The injuries were so severe that his school mates started calling him “scar face” or “Freddie Kruger.” The St. Bernard was known to be hard to control – a crucial fact in the Court’s finding of liability on the part of its owner who was ordered to pay $55,000 to Austin. The moral of the story, of course, is that the owner of an animal known to be violent has a duty to take appropriate steps to insure that it does not cause harm.

Tips for Safe Winter Driving

Q: How do I avoid injuring my back when shovelling snow?

ICBC encourages motorists to use the following tips: - Allow for extra time to reach your destination. - Slow down, and allow extra space between your vehicle and others. - Accelerate gently and steer smoothly. - Carefully test your braking and steering at a very slow speed. - Slow down before curves and corners. - Go down icy hills in a low gear. - Avoid passing other vehicles. If your wheels lock, ease off the brakes, then re-apply them to maintain steering control. Winter weather also means that Dial-A-Claim can be busy. Customers who are able to call outside of business hours may have a shorter wait when reporting a claim. Another option is to file the claim online at www.icbc.com. ICBC's Dial-A-Claim service is available 24 hours a day, including holidays, at 604-520-8222 or 1-800-910-4222. Please remember that the posted speed limit is meant for clear, dry roads and not for winter conditions. You may not be able to do the posted speed limit in winter weather conditions.

A: First snow coming and although beautiful it can be very hard on our back when we need to shovel it and it often comes all at once. Some important tips to keep in mind are try not to do all at once. Taking your time is frustrating but your back will thank you. When you are lifting anything including the snow try to keep your chest forward and bend at the knees. Try to lead with the hips and not the shoulders and avoid twisting, try to stay square. Always try to keep the weight close to your body the further out the more you are fighting with gravity. After you are finished try to stretch out your back, bringing knees to chest or even bending and touching your toes. A busy time in our office when the first big snowfall arrives so it is common to strain your neck and back and you should make an appointment to come in for an assessment.

What Should I Know About Preapprovals?

When you’re house hunting, it’s a great idea to know the amount of mortgage you qualify for, your monthly payments, and that your interest rate will be held for a specified period of time i.e. 120 days. This way you can shop within your price range, you don’t have to worry about rates rising, and both realtors and sellers will know you’re serious. Be realistic though and make sure you can afford that pre-approved amount; review all of your homeownership expenses and your monthly budget. Keep in mind that not all pre-approvals are the same, and that a preapproval is not a mortgage approval. Some are just a simple rate guarantee subject to lots of conditions and a later approval. Be sure to not make significant changes after getting the preapproval i.e. changing jobs, adding debt or missing payments, cosigning another loan, or using your down payment money. Contact me with any questions! *OAC/E&O

Canada’s Mortgage Experts™

Q: What is a reverse mortgage? A: A reverse mortgage allows Canadians over 60 years of age

to retrieve some of the money they have invested in their homes without selling it. There are a number of ways you can access this cash. You can receive a lump sum usually worth between 10% and 40% of the value of your home. You can receive the funds in the form of a regular monthly payment. Or you can set one up like an emergency fund withdrawing what you need when you need it. You (or your Estate) pay back the money you have borrowed from your home’s value plus interest when you sell or upon death. Unlike a traditional mortgage there are no monthly payments. Sounds like a great way to generate some income doesn’t it? But, a reverse mortgage needs careful consideration. The interest rates are usually higher than normal mortgages and high set-up fees are required. The interest charged can grow quickly and in some cases even result in very little value remaining in the home when it is sold. A reverse mortgage may be a potential income generating strategy for some retired Canadian home owners, but it not a substitute for a well developed thought out retirement plan.

How do Heated Driveway Systems work?

Many home improvement projects have several benefits and can both improve the curb appeal of your home along with its design function. Heated driveways, though, have essentially one single advantage. You guessed it—snow removal. This solitary quality is no small matter for some homeowners. If you live in the northern United States, you may spend countless hours each winter shoveling your driveway. Just hearing the words “Nor-Easter” or “Lake Effect Snow” can make many Americans cringe. Having to shovel two, three, even four times in one day can leave northerners begging for a solution. Even if you don’t live in a region that gets hit with heavy snow, if you have limited mobility and have no neighborhood kids who want to earn a little extra cash, installing a heated driveway can allow you to endure the winter with safe passage to and from your home without ever picking up a shovel or firing up a snowblower. How Heated Driveway Systems Work Heated driveways are actually radiant floor heating systems, which can be installed both indoors and out. For outdoor use,

radiant floor systems are quite beneficial to those who live in snowy climates, as they function as a snow-melting system, virtually eliminating the need for physical snow removal. When temperatures drop, heated water and antifreeze are pumped into the tubing, melting any snow that collects on your driveway. From the comfort of your home, you can flip a switch and watch the snow melt away. If you want a heated driveway, you don’t necessarily need to install a whole new driveway because sometimes the tubing can be run under your current one. Bear in mind these situations are not typical. The majority of the time the driveway needs to be ripped up and replaced because the installation process often leaves the driveway in shambles. Many factors influence whether you need to have the driveway replaced including time of year, soil compaction, trees in proximity, etc. Replacing the driveway ensures that the heated driveway system has been installed correctly. Many of the systems that are installed under existing driveways either won’t come with warranties or the warranties that they do come with won’t cover very much.
