South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club members Emily Glen, front, Asia Hindmarsh and Lyda Crossem took part in a group routine at a year-end gala in 100 Mile House on May 22. A large audience was in attendance for the spirited gymnastics performances at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. “The girls had so much fun,” says coach Sang-Hee Robinson. “It was absolutely perfect. I couldn't ask for anything more.”

Society balks at arena use answers On April 28, a response from the 100 Mile Agriplex Society was sent to the individual equestrians and some members of the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club who had insisted they need answers to questions that surfaced during a heated March 4 meeting. The horse owners want more information about gaining access to the old Stan Halcro Arena for equestrian use. Jenny Bakken, who speaks as an individual equestrian (who is an Outriders member) and was at the March 4 meeting, says the society’s reply is inadequate.

The British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA) held its 111th annual general meeting in Vancouver, April 16-19. This year’s conference theme was Relationships and Governance: Common ground, common purpose. Trustees from school boards around the province met and debated a number of submitted motions toward the BCSTA’s advocacy efforts in the coming year, and participated in some professional development activities. School District #27 (SD27) board’s BCSTA Provincial Council representative, Trustee Sheila Boehm (Zone 5-Williams Lake Fringe), attended the AGM. “It’s always good to get together with the whole province and see what [other boards] are talking about and what the issues are for all of us,” says Boehm. “Some of the most common ones [included] our frustration over the administration savings ... mostly that the government had to take some of our savings in administration.” She notes the Ministry of Education made a blanket decision to find $29 million in savings from public school administration, with no allowance for districts to decide where cost reductions might best be made.

he project saw a lot of hard work by 100 Mile House’s Allison Matfin and her teammates, but it paid off for the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) students with a provincial award. Matfin, 23, and her fellow environmental engineering scholars – Clayton McBride, Stephanie Doherty, Maureen Long and Brenden Vissers – won the 2015 British Columbia Water & Waste Association (BCWWA) Student Design Competition. The annual contest has students creating a conceptual design to address the needs outlined by a B.C. municipality. This year, the teams were tasked with developing a method to break down sewage and produce biogas at the City of Kelowna’s wastewater treatment plant. Matfin’s team proposed a solution

that would produce electrical and thermal energy, recover biosolids and nutrients for use as fertilizer, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent compared to conventional approaches. “When you treat wastewater, you’re improving the water quality and eventually discharging that water,” Matfin explains. “But you also have solid and sludge left over from all of the treatment processes. “This project was about a different way to manage it. Currently, they have these solids they produce and they compost them off site. This is a different way to manage their solids.” While the design is conceptual, the team did have to focus on its real life functionality to ensure it’s the right system for Kelowna specifically, Matfin adds. “One of our goals was to make it practical. They have a very limited space in Kelowna. We were really aiming to fit it into their infrastructure.

“They’re also located in the centre of a residential area. They are surrounded by a college and a high school and a bunch of houses. We really wanted to aim to make sure this was a practical design that didn’t have any odours or issues.” Next, the team is presenting its design project at an annual conference and trade show in Kelowna, May 26-29, organized by the BCWWA, a not-for-profit organization representing more than 4,700 water professionals responsible for ensuring safe, sustainable and secure, water, sewer and storm water systems in B.C. and the Yukon. The UNBC team is also destined for a North American competition in Chicago in September. “It was a really valuable experience,” Matfin says of the four-month project. “It’s really exciting. It was a lot of hard work, so we’re really happy to have awesome results and move

forward with it.” Matfin is currently working in a co-op program with a water consulting company in the Lower Mainland. She’s set to graduate in December 2015. She likes science and math and problem solving. Studying environmental engineering has worked out well for her. “I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s very applications-based, not just the science of it.” Jianbing Li, co-director of the Environmental Engineering Program, says he’s very proud of their accomplishments. “Our students are strongly motivated, and have enthusiastically participated and excelled in many external engineering design competitions.” UNBC president Daniel Weeks says the knowledge and leadership skills these students displayed will be a huge advantage for them as they enter the working world.

Equestrians seek membership details

From A1

“It is for groups only. All those things they were talking about were if it was individuals. So it is no use responding to them because it was irrelevant.” He adds McCarvill has since resigned from the Agriplex Society board, so

he no longer speaks to its issues. The individual equine aficionados first need to form or join a group to qualify for arena use, Reid says. “Everything is covered in the letter we sent ... the lease was switched over from individuals to groups, so there is no more to say.”

Once a user group has applied and has a member on the Agriplex board, he says all of the issues raised will be dealt with then. However, Bakken says she would need to have specific application forms, a price list and an arena schedule to determine if usage is feasible before asking a new or cur-

rent group to join. Outriders Club vicepresident Ron Szigety says it is local individuals, not his group bringing this issue forward. Therefore, he has little to say on behalf of his group, but does confirm it would like to see the financial statements and where the $1,500 annual

contribution goes; the society agreement, definitions, and regulations; and how to apply for membership. Like Bakken, he wants answers to the six questions – but prior to an open meeting for interested parties he is planning for early summer. “We will see what the outcome of that will be.”

The tender has been awarded for a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) for the District of 100 Mile House municipal water system budgeted for this year. BREE Contracting Ltd. had the successful bid at $177,891, the lowest of four submitted (one other was rejected). The highest bid was at $369,262. The tender, a PRV chamber and project engineering costs, will exceed the 2015 capital budget, so staff will work with the project consultants to identify possible cost savings.

TRIBAL CHIEF The Shuswap Nation Tribal Council has elected its new Tribal Chief. Wayne Christian, Chief of the Splatsin First Nation (near Enderby) was the successful candidate with overwhelming support. Chief Christian is of Secwepemc and Okanagan ancestry, and replaces Chief Shane Gottfriedson for a three-year term ending May 2018. The Splatsin is one of nine member bands, including Canim Lake Band, affiliated with the SNTC.

WILDFIRE FUNDING The B.C. government has added $5 million in support of the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative program. It will focus on prescription and fuel treatment projects. Rural residents can also help protect their homes by using FireSmart principles.

There was a quiet, but very important, ceremony at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 House on May 23. K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod hosted the commemorative ceremony to recognize eight local Second World War Veterans – most of whom are in their nineties. The guests of honour were Mary Lutsiak, Gillis Bailey, Murray Johnston, Fred Peeters, James Milliken and Leo Beauchamp, as well as Donald Smith and Howard Upson who were unable to attend. Some still live independently, while others live with family and most still live in the South Cariboo. It was a small gathering consisting of the Veterans, family, friends, dignitaries and Legion members. Legion president Bob Wangensteen greeted the dignitaries – MP McLeod, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. MLA Barnett became emotional when she started recalling her father as tears welled up in her eyes. Wangensteen tried to

console her and said it would be OK if she didn’t want to carry on. Barnett replied, “I'm not going to quit. They never quit,” she said as she pointed to the veterans, and soldiered on. Mayor Campsall noted he was an “Army brat,” so he was brought up to respect and appreciate the people who went off to war to defend Canadian democracy. He looked into the faces of the Veterans and thanked them “for everything you did.” MP McLeod said she

was there to honour Canada’s veterans of the Second World War and commemorate the 70th anniversary of its end. Last year marked the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the war, and Canada’s involvement in it, she said, adding she was proud to recognize the eight local veterans. She talked about her recent trip to the Netherlands and said it was a profound experience that she was grateful to experience. Then one by one,

the Veterans slowly got out of their chairs and walked to the front, where they received their commemorative lapel pins and certificates of recognition, and shook hands with the dignitaries. Their gaits were a little quicker and their eyes shone a little brighter when they returned to their seats. The ceremony ended with the singing of God Save the Queen. Then seated again, the Veterans leaned in and talked to each

other. There was some laughter, the clink of glasses and a wee sip. They deserved this quiet little ceremony.

Support for Cache Creek flood victims

Carole Rooney Free Press

A flash flood that swept through Cache Creek during a heavy rainfall on May 23 led to an evacuation order that initially displaced 126 residents in 60 homes, and was expanded to add three more properties on May 25. A state of emergency was declared and two houses were destroyed in the flood. Once the water receded, many homes and other buildings were left with six inches of mud and debris throughout the entire ground floor. Premier Christy Clark was on site to witness the aftermath and property devastation on May 26. Locally, South Cariboo Search & Rescue (SCS&R) sent

An intense thunderstorm pounded the Village of Cache Creek with pouring rain and hail that resulted in a flash flood that initially displaced 126 residents from 60 homes on May 23. In the aftermath of the storm, emergency crews worked feverishly to secure a home that had a gas leak.

in for backup by the Kamloops SAR team. The local team brought along members certified in swift water rescue, rope rescue and advanced first aid tech-

RCMP budgets by 20 per cent and returned $1.7 billion in approved RCMP funding back to the Federal Treasury, the Liberal candidate explains. “So why have members not come forward to inform us these changes were compromising the quality and effectiveness of RCMP policing?” RCMP members have no official organized advocacy group – no union or association that is recognized to negotiate and speak on the members’ behalf, he says, adding RCMP members would be disciplined for speaking out, even if it was in relation to the safety of the public or themselves on the front lines. In every other police

department in Canada, members are represented by a union that deals with issues and concerns, Powrie notes. “I have talked to many RCMP members ‘off the record’, and they have lots to say. “They have told me about shifts that are so short of personnel they could not mount an effective response to a critical situation, about the military style ‘do as I say’ management model that leaves members feeling unrespected and disengaged, and about declining morale as members feel increasingly bitter about cuts to services and longterm freezes to salaries and benefits. “This government has not shown interest in addressing these issues, nor has the upper echelons of

All the realtors at 100 Mile Realty, including at its new Interlakes office, contribute to a monthly advertising fund that is occasionally dipped into to assist local – or in this case neighbouring – families in need, he explains. “We have done this kind of thing before.” Village of Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta replied to Kelly with his sincere thanks

Workshop supports parents of youth

Carole Rooney Free Press

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) is offering a free workshop for parents and caregivers of youth aged 15-20 in the Valley Room on June 4 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. CFEC program manager Chris Pettman says it is “great” to be able

to offer the workshop locally with the wide experience and helpful tools brought by educational facilitator David Hatfield. “What David Hatfield has developed is a program for parents to understand the reason, as we foresee it, that these youth are ‘acting out’ [but] they are not really acting out – they

are just doing what comes naturally in their development.” As adult parents, caretakers or mentors, we need to understand why they are doing this and, hopefully, cease to become disappointed in them or upset by it – which also isn’t fair to youth, he explains. “He will give us some

tools to help us better navigate these waters when we do [deal with this] because obviously, sometimes it can be quite frustrating.” The workshop will explain that while the average teen seems drawn to the “risky” behaviour and experiences that worry parents the most, looking through the lens

of “rites of passage” highlights the natural adolescent desire for wider experiences and identity construction, and their search for unique gifts and purpose. It asks parents to change their relationship with their children in “renegotiating the passage” process, Pettman says, adding it

will focus on relevant, useful responses for parents and caregivers. “It’s free; it’s two-anda-half hours. We do give some refreshments ... and it’s a really good interaction for parents. “We’ve never really had that sort of level of focusing just on that transition piece [to adulthood].” An all-day work-

Boehm says she agrees with other trustees who suggested funding formulas should be applied, with levels according to each district’s size.

RCMP need best

Emergency alert tests have begun

here was a time when news came at predictable hours of the day: a newspaper on your doorstep or a nightly newscast that we tuned into for our daily dose of local, regional and international information. Today, we live in a digital age with a 24/7 news cycle, where we expect information to be available instantly and on demand, regardless of where we are. Landline phones have already been overtaken in popularity by cell phones and many people get their news via social media, the Internet, apps on your phone or other nontraditional outlets. It’s the responsibility of government and emergency authorities to keep up with modern technology and with the expectations of British Columbians. National Emergency Preparedness Week marked the latest example of how we are doing just that. The new national Alert

GUEST SHOT

he RCMP is being accused of four violations of the Canada Labour Code following investigations into last year’s fatal shooting of three RCMP members in Moncton, New Brunswick. On May 14, Employment and Social Development Canada released its allegations related to a lack of equipment, training and supervision when RCMP members responded to a standoff with a heavily armed man, Justin Bourque, who fatally shot three RCMP members and wounded two others. It was later learned Bourque was targeting the police. Canadians wanted to know how this massacre could have possibly happened. Now, we’re getting some answers to the questions, and it appears that the concerns about the force’s equipment, training and supervision have been in play for a long time. One the key recommendations from the investigation of the shooting deaths of four RCMP members in Mayerthorpe, Alberta in 2011, was providing C8 carbines to increase the force’s fire power. Recently, retired assistant commissioner Alphonse MacNeil, who issued 64 recommendations after the Moncton shootings, said the carbines could have saved lives, and should be rolled out faster. He added the officers faced many problems, including communicating accurate information and securing protective equipment. RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, who was appointed by the Stephen Harper government in November 2011, was recently grilled by MPs about the Moncton RCMP shootings. He also shrugged off the complaints about how long it has taken to get the C8 carbines rolled out and getting RCMP members trained. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal candidate Steve Powrie says many RCMP members have talked to him “off the record” about their concerns, including being “so short of personnel they could not mount an effective response to a critical situation and about the military style ‘do as I say’ management model that leaves members feeling unrespected and disengaged....” (See page A4 in this edition). Powrie says Harper’s government has slashed the RCMP budgets by 20 per cent and returned $1.7 billion in approved RCMP funding back to the federal treasury. On Jan. 16, the Supreme Court of Canada gave rank-and-file RCMP members the right to engage in meaningful collective bargaining. The Justices gave the federal government a year to create a new labour relations scheme, which would set the stage for talks among RCMP members, Commissioner Paulson and the Harper government. These talks must take place, as Canada’s police force needs the best equipment, training and leadership to keep them safe while they are keeping us safe.

catastrophic earthquake. This notification system adds one more tool to the province’s capability of alerting B.C. residents to emerging hazards or threats. The province, through EMBC, already provides tsunami alerts through the newly upgraded Provincial Emergency Notification System, as well as through the @EmergencyInfoBC social media channels. Our expectation is these new investments and continued investigation into additional technologies will mean many more B.C. residents receive emergency information more quickly. The introduction of the new national Alert Ready notification system, along with investments and upgrades to other notification systems, will go a long way towards helping us prepare the people of this province to recover and remain resilient after an emergency.

Ottawa has to work with provinces

To the editor: Over the past nine years, Canada’s international reputation has been damaged and the Keystone XL pipeline has been stalled – all because our federal government has failed to deliver a sensible, credible approach to the environment and the economy. At the same time, many provinces and territorial governments have begun their own initiatives because they know climate change is real and our children’s future requires us to reduce carbon emissions.

British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and, soon, Ontario – jurisdictions that represent more than 85 per cent of the economy – have committed, in different ways, to a price on carbon. History has shown that Canada works best when all orders of government work together to forge solutions to complex problems. Through provincial experimentation and federal leadership, Medicare was forged and now provides one common standard of public health care for every Canadian across in the entire

country. That’s the approach we need to take to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. As it stands, the Prime Minister Stephen Harper has committed Canada to targets, but we’re not collectively on track to meet them – not even close. It’s no wonder, when the prime minister refuses to meet with the premiers to co-ordinate climate policies – or anything else for that matter. That is why a new Liberal government would, within 90 days of the upcoming Paris climate

Reader believes speeders cause problems

To the editor: I am writing in response to the editorial, headlined Keep to the right, on page A8 of the May 14 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. In my opinion, keeping to the right and slow drivers should not be lumped together. What about the drivers who want to travel at the maximum speed or five to 10 kilometres per hour below? Are we considered a menace or law-abiding citizens?

Just because cars can go faster now does not mean they are safer. Why should I be criticized if I want to travel five or 10 kilometres below the signed speed? Remember, those signs say maximum speed. Since the maximum speed has been raised, just lately, most drivers continue that speed when they come to a decreased speed limit. Don’t blame us for drivers who have no

respect for road signs or for aggressive or frustrated drivers. Tell them to calm down and slow down. I believe some provinces in the East have a better road system. Their roads have the passing lane merge with the right lane; therefore, making the passing lane drivers responsible for the merge. Let’s make the speeders responsible. John Tutte 100 Mile House

conference, hold a First Ministers meeting to work together on a framework for combating climate change – including the creation of national emissions-reduction targets. A national standard would be set in partnership with provinces and territories, which will have the flexibility to design their own polices to achieve it, including carbon pricing. The federal government would provide funding, similar to how it supports Medicare today. In this way, we will build on

existing provincial initiatives, in the best spirit of Canadian federalism. Through a healthy respect for regional differences, we will achieve progress on climate change; we will begin to repair our broken relationships; and we’ll regain public trust. Canada has solved bigger problems than this and we’ll solve this one, too, in the way we always have –together. John McKay, MP Liberal Party Environment Critic

Nothing should stop feds from spending on infrastructure

To the editor: The conventional wisdom is that, whichever party forms government in the federal election, it will not have much financial breathing room, especially with the collapse of world oil prices. In fact, while there are ideological and eventual real resource restraints, there is no financial restraint for a federal government that owns a central bank issuing a floating, non-convertible currency, such as the Canadian dollar. Would anyone dispute that the money supply fluctuates? Two entities provide the moneys that Canadians generally use to settle transactions. The federal government cre-

ates high-powered money in the form of coins, bank notes and bank reserves (deposits held by commercial banks at the central bank). Commercial banks leverage these reserves in the form of bank deposits (promises to pay government money) when loans are made to businesses and individuals. The coins, bank notes and commercial bank deposits constitute the money in circulation and the volume changes daily. The federal government can always make Canadian dollar payments by simply creating more high-powered money without paying any interest to private banks.

The only practical limit to new money is the resource capability of the economy, beyond which lies inflation. However, since Canada has 1.3 million unemployed people and a large output gap, inflation risk is currently very low. So nothing should stop the federal government from spending on vital infrastructure renewal and targeted large-scale job creation, no matter the funds required. Media and investigative reporters must reveal these facts to the Canadian public because our financial and economic elites definitely will not. Larry Kazdan Vancouver

BC VIEWS

pposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. Liberal government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas (LNG) deal, announced last week. Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government states the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term. Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum. These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate

The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, the answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the Coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals and they would have a shorter pipeline route to the Coast than Prince Rupert.

Man hit by train in critical condition Maple Ridge — A 19-year-old Maple Ridge man is in critical condition after being hit by a train Friday, May 22 at about 2 a.m. Ridge Meadows RCMP first got a call at about 1:10 a.m., when a Mazda 3 hit a Hydro box and rolled over and crashed at 201st Street and 112th Avenue. Police got to the scene, but found the vehicle abandoned. Then about an hour later, they got a call about a train on the CP tracks hitting a pedestrian near the 203rd Street crossing in Hammond. The man hit by the train was related to the owner of the Mazda 3, said RCMP. "Maple Ridge Fire Department and B.C. Ambulance Service personnel had to extract the victim and he was rushed to hospital with possible life threatening injuries," said Insp. Dan Splinter. "The victim is related to the owner of the car, but it has not been determined if he had been in the car at the time it rolled over or not.” Pepper sprayed inside a Mac's Milk store KELWONA - On Sunday, May 24 at 2:28 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a robbery at the Mac’s Milk Convenience Store in the 2100 block of Richter Street. A lone male suspect had entered the store and approached the clerk. The suspect asked for two packages of cigarettes which the clerk provided. The suspect then informed the clerk of the robbery and demanded an undisclosed amount of cigarette packages be placed in a bag. As the suspect approached to take the bag from the clerk, he sprayed the clerk with pepper spray. The suspect fled the scene. RCMP members along with a police service dog searched the area, however no track was found. Suspect description: Caucasian male, thin build, approx. 5'8" (172.7 cm), 25 to 30 years of age, unshaven facial hair, spoke English, was wearing a black T-shirt with dark coloured jacket over top, dark gloves and dark baseball cap with stickers affixed to the brim.

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 79 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls. Rollover MVI On May 21, police and emergency crews responded to a singlevehicle rollover incident

in the 5700 block of Highway 24. The female driver of a Ford F150 pickup truck had swerved to avoid a deer in the middle of a curve and lost control. The vehicle hit the concrete abutment and flipped on the road. The driver, who suffered minor injuries, was taken by ambulance to 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment. Charges are not being considered in this motor vehicle

He adds burning branches had fallen to ground and a 40- by 40-foot area of grass and underbrush

100 Mile House FireRescue responded to a callout for a press fire at the Norbord OSB plant on May 24 at 3:45 p.m. Fire chief Darrell Blades responded with 16 firefighters, two pumpers and rescue vehicle. The 108 Mile Ranch and Forest Grove volunteer fire departments each provided a pumper and five firefighters. The fire chief notes

Norbord had a power outage prior to the callout, and the press was closed with boards in it. It’s a big process to get the press open again when it is closed down, he explained. “So the wood is inside the press cooking and they had embers on the outside slowly burning inwards ... when they reset the press and get it open, the wood burns when oxygen is intro-

Hoover Bay Road Association continues with road repairs CANIM LAKE

On Saturday June 27, 2015 qualiﬁed electors within the proposed 70 Mile House Fire Protection Financial Contribution Service Area will be voting on the following question:

250 397-2645

harts@netbistro.com

Dear Canimites: The Hoover Bay Road Association held its annual meeting at the home of Georgina Hudon on the long weekend, with a capacity crowd of 26 attending. Discussion centred on how best to carry out the muchneeded repairs to the road between the Boss Creek Bridge and the airstrip taxiway. The group decided to gravel certain sections using aggregate from a locally-owned pit and local equipment. Roughly 40 residents have contributed $100 each year that will fund the work. The group decided to raise the dues to $150 a year in anticipation of future road repairs. There are now roughly 60 residents in the area. Settlement began in 1972 when Bob Fish’s Cariboo Canim Resort ceased operation and the land was subdivided.

important for folks at Mahood Lake and Hoover Bay. Go to www. cariboord.ca or phone 1-800-665-1636. Mahood Falls news Thirty-five members of the Mahood Falls Community Society met at the home of Carol and Bob MacKenzie to discuss community issues and share a potluck. The continued poor state of the Mahood Park boat launch was flagged. There is a large

gap between two concrete ties, which can gobble a trailer wheel whole. No date is known for a repair and caution is advised. Two new lakeside homes are being constructed, meaning that there will soon be 20 permanent residents on the lake. The community received a scare at the end of April when a wind-thrown tree on the power line caused a fire on the Mahood Lake

Road east of the Bowers Lake Road, cutting off the only road access. Power was lost for 10 hours and traffic in and out of the community was halted for six hours. Many people mentioned Larry Smith’s herculean efforts to contain the fire before BC Hydro arrived and provincial fire suppression crews could be put into play. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Mother’s Day breakfast a huge success

The Bargain! Shop open late

Along with all the other stores in Red Apple Stores Inc. chain, The Bargain! Shop in 100 Mile House is supporting a new charity this year – the Canadian Addiction Medical Health (CAMH) and its Darkness to Light awareness campaign and fundraiser. Local store manager Janel Driediger says the local store will stay open from 9 p.m. to midnight on Friday

(May 29) in support of the promotional initiative to battle mental illness. During the promotion, Driediger says The Bargain! Shop will offer $5 off any purchase of $25 or more. “So, if someone comes to the till and purchases items that are $25 or more before taxes, $5 will be deducted at the cash register.” She adds there will be donation boxes

at the store’s registers for folks to support the fundraiser, as well as a table with information about CAMH, which is Canada’s leading hospital for mental health. The money raised through CAMH Darkness to Light will help fund CAMH’s highest priority needs, including improving access to care, leading-

edge research into new methods to treat and prevent mental illness and addiction, and education – projects that will promote improvements in mental health care in communities across the country, according to the information package sent to Driediger. “I really hope people come out to support this worthy cause.”

The Lone Butte Fire Department (LBFD) hosted a Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast on May 10 and it was a fundraiser for new firefighting equipment. The fire hall was nicely decorated with large paper flowers. It was a delicious meal, with pancakes, fresh fruit, whipping cream, maple syrup, coffee, tea and juice.

Win prizes, have fun at fishing derby next weekend

The 28th Annual Watch Lake/ Green Lake Fishing Derby, which is sponsored by the Watch Lake/ Green Lake Resort, Guest Ranch and Business Association, is slated for June 6-7. The top prizes are $500 cash for the biggest fish and $250 for the second biggest catch. There are a lot of other prizes to be won on the weekend – oldest fisher, youngest fisher, farthest away, best dressed, first

fish on each day from either lake, and random draw entries. Winners must be present at the awards ceremony, which starts at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, to receive a prize. Derby entries – adults are $10 and youth under 16 are $7.50 – and pig roast tickets - $15 for adults and children under 10 are $7.50 – are available at 70 Mile General Store, Ace High Resort, Tall Timbers Resort, and Watch Lake Lodge.

Fish can be caught in either Watch or Green lakes, but must be weighed in at the Watch Lake Lodge. The $5 pancake breakfasts each day are from 7 to 10 a.m., and the concession goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. There will be a refreshment garden open Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 250-456-7741.

People can prevent unexpected falls

Ken Alexander Free Press

100 Mile House occupational therapist Kaitlynn Dewhirst is hosting an interprofessional fall prevention education session at the Multipurpose Room, 555 Cedar Ave., (behind the 100 Mile District General Hospital) on June 2

from 10 a.m. to noon. The Stop Slips, Trips and Falls workshop will provide information from the nursing, optometry, dietitian, physiotherapy and occupational professionals. This education session would be particularly important for some seniors and folks with mobility issues.

Dewhirst says falls are a common cause of injury for older adults and the main reason seniors lose their independence. Every year, one in three British Columbia seniors experience at least one fall. She says about 40 per cent of falls require hospitalization related to hip fractures.

“Hip fractures are the biggest concern and that’s why we want to prevent falls. Breaking a hip just causes so many more health issues that subsequently can compound your medical condition.” For more information, call Kaitlynn at 250-395-7676 – extension 5056.

Bake and Garage Sale a great success

Watch/N. Green Lakes

Gisele Poliseno gisele.poliseno@gmail.com

After several busy days of preparation, the Watch Lake/ North Green Lake VFD (WLNGLVFD) Auxiliary’s bake and garage sale was a huge success. The ladies got together on May 8 to make 115 of their apple pies for the bake sale. On May 15, the Sonny Johnson Memorial Fire

Hall was busy with firefighters setting up tables and energetic auxiliary members arranging and pricing the garage sale items for the next day. Saturday (May 16) morning was sunny and warm and the bargain hunters were at the door early. They were pleased at the selection of items available, especially the variety of home-baked goods. The barbecue was also a huge success, selling out the breakfast sandwiches within 1.5 hours and the hamburgers and hotdogs before 1 p.m. At the end of the day, we made $2,675. The auxiliary would like to thank all the volunteers

for their hard work to make this a huge success, as well as the individuals who donated items. Fishing derby The Watch Lake/ Green Lake 28th Annual Fishing Derby, hosted by the Watch Lake Lodge, will be held June 6-7. A pancake breakfast to start each day from 7 to 10 a.m. and then the concession will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. There will be a refreshment garden open Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The famous pig roast dinner with all the trim-

mings is on Saturday at 6 p.m. You might want to acquire your tickets when you purchase your derby entry, as they go quickly. Participants can fish either Watch Lake or Green Lake. There will be a prize for the biggest fish overall and many other prizes in a variety of categories. You must be present at the awards ceremony on Sunday to receive prizes.

What’s really in your garden?

If you’re like me and have ever had access to dirt, chances are you’ve tried your hand at some kind of garden. Indoors or out, the urge to grow and nurture something in soil is almost irresistible. But what do we get out of all that planting and tending? Certainly, a consideration in creating a garden is the beautification of our surroundings. A garden can create a world of beauty that we can enjoy at our leisure. A place to relax and take in the lovely sights and scents. We all need a sanctuary, a place to unwind and share with family and friends. Even a few good houseplants can cheer up our spaces and even help clear the air in the home. And while the garden can seem to be a very personal space, it’s also part of our identity in the community. Whether it’s a very austere, bare bones, lawn only space, or a lavish horticultural display, the garden is often our home’s first impression. One very important consideration is how the garden can influence the value of the home. “Curb Appeal” is a popular

catch phrase we’ve all heard, and it sums up how our homes are perceived by passersby. A realtor’s ﬁrst advise to potential sellers is almost always to “tidy up the yard and plant some bright colours”. In a tough market a little landscaping can make all the difference. This isn’t to say that gardening is all about looks and being showy. A garden can have a very practical side as well. Sometimes we need a little privacy, a bit of shade or maybe even a wind break. The addition of trees and shrubs can give us all that and more. With fruit trees and berry bushes in the garden we get a good deal more. We get jams, jellies and good fresh fruit in season after a magniﬁcent show of blooms in the spring. And last but not least, we can plant a kitchen garden. Even in a few tubs on a balcony we can grow the freshest and cleanest food available. Fruit, vegetables, herbs or a mix of all, the garden gives us a chance to be a little self sustaining. Anyone who’s ever had a tomato off the vine knows what I’m talking about, you just can’t go out and buy that experience.

We’ve all heard about GMO’s and the effects of pesticide residues but our gardens can be totally free of anything unwholesome. There’s no such thing as too much produce, even if the neighbours get a little tired of organic zucchini. And if you keep a few chickens for eggs all the better, the girls will appreciate any weeds you can pull up as a treat. We can turn the smallest spaces into incredible food factories. Lastly when we garden we get a chance to really bend and stretch, to carry and twist. Almost unknowingly we get a workout in the fresh air. It’s always important to not overbuild the garden so the work becomes too much, but when you have it right a few minutes or hours in the garden rival any fitness club, and you get the benefit of hearing the birds sing and feeling the sun on your arms. Spring is finally here in the South Cariboo and I hope everyone gets a chance to get out and enjoy their gardens. Don’t forget a good floppy hat and I’ll see you over the garden gate!

Garden-inspired decor brightens spaces and mood

Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb. Home-design trends seem to be following suit, offering individuals more opportunities to surround themselves with potentially therapeutic plants.

Explore these emerging and established garden décor trends to try in and around your home. • Living wall planters: A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil-free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create. • Combining fish with gardening: Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer ready-made kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water

garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are illegal to possess in a pond unless you have a permit from BC Forest, Lands and Natural Resources Office Fish and Wildlife Branch. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants. • Creative furniture designs: Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better. • Improved outdoor

lighting: People who like to spend time in their gardens and yards may not want to be limited by sunrise and sunset. By incorporating different lighting sources, you can create a retreat that is welcoming at any hour. Although flood lights and overhead lights can illuminate a space, consider ambient and decorative lighting to create the desired ambiance. • Functional fire pits and places: A blazing fire creates a cozy spot to gather on chilly evenings, but fire pits and fireplaces also can be used as impromptu cooking spots for s’mores or frankfurters on a stick. You can purchase a standalone fire pit from any number of retailers or build your own with patio pavers and fire bricks to line the interior of the fire pit. Outdoor fireplaces require more work, and you want to hire a mason to ensure proper installation. • Enjoyable yard additions: While plants and seating may take center stage, some people still want to have fun in their yards. There’s

an increased demand for yard designs and décor that can put the fun in backyard living. Bocce courts, ring- or horseshoetoss setups, as well as bean bag-toss boards, can be incorporated into landscape designs, giving you yet another reason to spend a few hours in the great outdoors, where you can experience a few healthy laughs in the process. Gardening and spending time outdoors are great hobbies and may even boost your mood. Homeowners can explore the popular trends in garden décor and natural elements that they can enjoy inside and outside of their homes. Article provided by Metro Creative

Q: I ride horses and I have back pain, what’s going on? A: Now that spring is here people are getting out on the trails

with their horses more and discovering the joys of low back pain. What’s going on? One important thing while riding is to maintain a fluid connection between rider and horse, this allows the rider to adapt to the changing position of the horse. If an individual’s muscles are tight this alters the rider’s biomechanics such that their ride is no longer as fluid and can be thought of as dysfunctional. One of the most frequently tight muscle groups contributing to low back pain in riders are the iliopsoas (ilio-so-as) or main hip flexor muscles. This group connects along the length of the lumbar spine and to the top quarter of the femur and is active while walking, running, and while trying to stay on a horse. Tightness in this muscle group can maintain excess curvature in the low back and may limit your range of motion while riding, thus limiting your efficiency and increasing the difficulty. A combination of treatments and home stretching and strengthening can fix this. Pain or dysfunction isn’t a necessary part of your ride, let’s deal with it today so you can have a better ride tomorrow.

you have control over your money, and the investments you choose. Once moved to a locked in plan, when both spouses have passed away, there may be money left over to pass on to your estate. With a pension, the income stops when the last spouse dies. Some people are interested in moving their pensions out because of fears of mismanagement of the funds, and the company not contributing to the pension plan to sustain it for future and current pensioners. However, before you decide to move money out, we can take the time to do a more detailed analysis, to help you determine the right path to choose.

The Crown Corporation is set to increase the premiums for loans taken out by homebuyers who put less than 10% down. CMHC’s new premium rate effective June 1st for less than 10% down will be 3.60%, up from 3.15%. These premiums will be added into your total mortgage amount owing. If you have a closing date after June 1st and your lender has obtained CMHC approval prior to June 1st, your premium will remain at 3.15%. As a normal practice, complete borrower and property details must be submitted to CMHC when requesting mortgage loan insurance. Any preapprovals with less than 10% down that have no secured offers after June 1st will be subject to the new premium rates of 3.60%. Contact me with any questions!

jobs if it weren’t for the problems which people have with their families. When we’re not trying to undo the problems that families have caused, we’re busy advising people about how to avoid those problems in the first place. As you might expect, there are laws that deal with people who disinherit their spouse or children. Those laws are written with nice, simple words which may sound meaningless to people who haven’t read the law cases interpreting them. Under the relevant laws, the Court is entitled to vary a will if it fails to make adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of the testator’s spouse or children. What can the Court do? It may make such “provision [as] it considers adequate, just and equitable in the circumstances.” In British Columbia, the Court can change a will even in situations where the disinherited spouse or child doesn’t need the money. A few years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada stated that the will must do for the spouse and children “… what a judicious person would do in the circumstances, by reference to contemporary community standards.” [Tataryn v Tataryn Estate, 1994 2 SCR 807] Some cases have decided that, in the absence of a surviving spouse, the estate should be divided equally amongst the children - unless other circumstances dictate otherwise. Other cases have considered the needs and expectations of family members. In many cases, long-standing disputes between family members are taken into consideration. The point of all this is that the Court can change a will. If you think you have been the victim of an unfair will, you should speak with a lawyer.

No, it does not. When you sell a vehicle with active insurance coverage on it, you must physically attend an ICBC office to either cancel your insurance or transfer the coverage on to another vehicle. When you sell a vehicle it is extremely important to keep your license plates and your Insurance Papers for the vehicle and surrender them when you cancel the coverage. Also, when you sell a vehicle, YOU MUST keep the “Sellers Copy” of the Transfer form. This is the only proof that you have sold this vehicle. If you are on a monthly payment plan, you still need to come in and surrender your plates and insurance documents and sign to cancel your insurance coverage. Please note that if the vehicle is in more than one name, all parties must come in to cancel.

This stage also asks parents to change their relationship with their children: renegotiating passage process. We’ll learn to see challenging youth behaviours as requests for rites of passage and focus on relevant, useful offerings that parents and caregivers can make in response. We will explore ways of developing the mentorship and eldership that rites of passage require and that young people are longing for. Time will be spent exploring practical ways of incorporating such practices into our current relationships and rhythms with adolescents.

Marmot Ridge hosting Fun tourney on June 20

Pet Tip of the Week

Hot weather tip - Your four-legged friend needs exercise too. However, exercising in the summer heat can be just as uncomfortable for your pet as it is for you. Take your walks in the early mornings or late evening, not in the heat of midday, and remember that hot pavement can burn the pads of your pet’s paws. VIEW ANIMALS AT: www.spca.bc.ca/100milehouse

Local health care got a nice funding boost, while local audiences delighted in the musical stylings of the Eclectica Community Choir at a concert in 100 Mile House on May 9. Blue Skies raised a total of $1,676 for 100 Mile & District General Hospital Ladies Auxiliary and the Mill Site Lodge/Fischer Place Auxiliary, which took in close to $840 each. There was a great turnout at Martin Exeter Hall, says Eclectica spokesperson Barbara Hooper. “It's great when coming together to enjoy the fun of making and listening to music and also generating funds for a worthy cause, such as the hospital auxiliaries, which buy much

Great turnout for concert with all of its choral pieces, Hooper adds. “There were many audience favourites, including the stirring I Believe/Ave Maria (arranged by Stan Beard and Barry Tucker); Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen; and the final piece, which included the movement, Dubala, a traditional Xhoshan folk song (arranged by B.C. composer Stephen Hatfield); as well as Haydn's oratoria, The Heavens are Telling, accompanied by Daven Mapson on the organ; Ubi Caritas by Ola Gjeilo, All the Little Rivers, by Larry Nickel, and Closer to the Flame, by Susan Boersma and David Lantz III.” Several solo and ensemble pieces in an eclectic array of styles were also enjoyed:

In September 2004, John was scheduled for another checkup, but this time it was not the news we were hoping for. The cancer was back and this time it had spread. John kept positive even when feeling lousy taking the chemo. By January 2005, he developed a clot in his leg and he was admitted into palliative care. I had no family here, but I had good friends to help me at home. I basically lived and slept in the hospital and was thankful for the wonderful staff, compassionate doctor and the hospice advisor who helped me walk through the last of John’s journey. Hospice staff was helpful in so many ways. If required, they would

Good turnout for IEA event

new recreation trail for Interlakes residents and as a new visitor attraction for tourism. At lunch, a full overview of the Incorporation Study Request was presented by IEA president Dianne Lawson, followed by the reading of a letter that was sent to CRD Area L Director Brian Coakley from Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes. Her letter confirmed a financial commitment from her ministry to conduct an independent review that will look at what Interlakes property taxpayers pay, what services they receive in return and whether local decision-making would be better for the Interlakes area. Coakley confirmed his support for the review and said it will now have to go to before the CRD board, as it requires a resolution of support.

which went May 6-9 in Williams Lake, was a joint effort by SD27, WorkSafeBC, and local industry, teaming up to give Grade 11-12 students interested in a career in the construction industry a lesson in “heavy metal.” The program saw students operating a number of different machines at the Centennial gravel pit on Bond Lake Road.

Partnering with industry is key to the program's success, says David Corbett, career program co-ordinator with SD27. “They have professional trainers working with [the students]. It's one-on-one. It's an amazing opportunity for these young people to get trained.” Corbett estimates about 40 to 50 businesses were involved.

Big canoe journey planned for youth

Dozens of First Nations youth will set off in 29-foot canoes and cross one of the Cariboo’s largest lakes this summer. The Canim Lake Band has invited youth from Canoe Creek, Williams Lake and the Stone Indian Band to take part in its Canim Lake Band Youth Canoe Journey, July 24-26. The paddlers, accompanied by safety boats, will cross the 38-kilometre lake, starting from the Canim

Lake Resort and making their way to Tidaw Bay (Hoover Bay). Once the youth reach the other end of the lake on July 25 there will be cultural activities with community members, medicine-making, hand-drumming and stick games. The aim of the journey is teaching about team work, comradeship, and experiencing one of the most beautiful lakes in the local First Nation’s traditional Shuswap territory.
