It was a full day for the grads, as some started with photographs at Centennial Park, then rode through town in the procession, prior to promenade at the arena, dinner in the curling rink and finishing up at the arena for the Las Vegas-style dry grad party.

Farmlands at risk of reforestation UK corporation seeks carbon credits using B.C. land

Carole Rooney Free Press

A British corporation, which is buying up thousands of hectares of farmlands in British Columbia to convert them into deciduous forests, was a hot topic at the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) convention last month. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond was a delegate at the convention, where concerns about this large foreign company that is “very active” in buying agriculture land in the Cariboo and Vanderhoof areas “dominated a lot of conversations.” Reckitt Benckiser Inc. (RB) is a United Kingdom-based manufacturer of cleaning products and health aids that has bought up more than 7,000 hectares of farmland from Prince George to Quesnel in the past few years, planted it with trees and

then freezing it up with covenants to prevent logging for at least 100 years. It did so to achieve European carbon offsets and improve public opinion, and now it’s looking to buy up more Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) property in the Cariboo, Richmond explains. “[This] is a company that is actively looking at agricultural land in the Quesnel area ... so there is concern that this has certainly become a huge issue for folks where agricultural land is potentially taken out of food production, [for which] there is a limited area.” Richmond says the concern and talks centred on the reforesting of arable land suitable for producing hay, alfalfa, and other feed crops, when there are other areas available that are not as agriculturally productive. “But to see that land that was developed for agriculture turned into forest land just for large corporations

to purchase carbon credits, I think there are strong feelings about that. “I think it’s going to become an issue very quickly for [the Union of B.C. Municipalities], and for the local governments in the Cariboo, and certainly for the folks we heard in the Vanderhoof and Peace River areas.” When it comes to offsetting carbon emissions to reduce global warming, Richmond says some people might prefer to see the money that corporations spend on planting trees actually go toward reducing emissions for a stronger and more long-term environmental benefit. “In some cases, that could take a long time to happen, but I think the general consensus I heard ... at NCLGA is that we should not be taking good, food-producing farmland and turning it into growing trees for the large corporations to get carbon credits.”

The province could perhaps work with companies like this to reforest areas devastated by mountain pine beetle or after general harvesting, he adds. “With the shortage of money for silviculture in the forest sector ... maybe there is a means of looking at how they can contribute to [planting trees in] our forests in order to get carbon credits.” Richmond explains other parts of B.C. have seen this issue sooner, so they have more experience in working on it. A recent CRD board resolution was to collaborate with the other regional districts and municipal partners to look at what is going on with these ALR lands being purchased in RB’s Trees for Change British carbon credit program, he adds. “I am trying to set a meeting up for all the chairs in the north to meet, probably in early June.”

Locals can support flood victims

In the aftermath of the flash flood that wrecked havoc and resulted in millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses in Cache Creek on May 23, individuals, companies and communities are stepping up to raise money for the victims. The residents of 100 Mile House and beyond are prime examples of folks providing money through fundraising efforts to help people who are trying to pull their lives back together. South Cariboo residents can support the cause at a fundraiser in 100 Mile House tomorrow (June 5). The McGinley Family Troupe, from the Theatre Royal in Barkerville, will perform a Musical Revue benefit for Cache Creek flood victims at Martin Exeter Hall (behind the Red Coach Inn) in 100 Mile House. Amy Newman and Richard Wright are the principals with Newman & Wright Theatre Company, and this is their 12th year running the popular variety shows and dramas at the Theatre Royal in summer. Theatre “benefits” have been a tradition in Barkerville since the first days of theatre in the 1860s, Wright notes. He adds the company is very aware of small town British Columbia, as it has travelled extensively on three spring tours and one summer-long tour in 2008, visiting many small towns in the province. “When we heard of Cache Creek’s disastrous floods, we realized there was one way we could help,” Wright says. “We could not pick up shovels, but we could help raise support and funds.” With the immediate support of

FAST bytes RESCUE SERVICES The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has authorized up to $5,000 of feasibility funds to look into a potential framework and cost for shared highway rescue services in the South Cariboo. The proposal includes all of electoral areas G, H and L and the District of 100 Mile House. If the study shows the project is feasible, a referendum will ask residents if they wish to contribute to the 100 Mile Highway Rescue Services at an estimated annual operations cost of about $30,000$40,000 (based on preliminary investigations).

Barkerville’s McGinley Family Troupe will be performing a Musical Revue at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House tomorrow (June 5) to raise money for the victims of the recent flash floods in Cache Creek. Admission to the revue and the fundraising auction is cash by donation at the door.

Chris Nickless and the 100 Mile House Free Press, he adds the idea came together and all the cast and crew at Theatre Royal jumped on board. “It is one way we can give back for the support we receive from all those who visit Barkerville.” Doors open for the Musical Revue and auction at Martin Exeter Hall at 6 p.m. Admission is cash by donation at the door.

The fundraising auction begins at 7 p.m. and Barkerville and 100 Mile House merchants have contributed auction items, and the cast is donating its time, Wright explains. People wanting to donate an item for the auction, can contact Shelly Morton, South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce executive director, at the Chamber office at 250-395-6124, or e-mail manager@southcariboo

chamber.org. The Musical Revue begins at 8 p.m., so be prepared to enjoy some great entertainment and help our southern neighbours. The sponsors are the 100 Mile House Free Press, Barkerville Historic Town, Newman & Wright Theatre Company, the Red Rock Grill, The Goat, Country 840, CaribooRadio.com and the District of 100 Mile House.

Fundraiser underway for Cache Creek The Village of Cache Creek is accepting donations to assist in the aftermath of the disastrous May 23 flash flood through a crowdfunding platform sponsored by Black Press. The blackpress4good funding platform is accessed online at blackpress4good.com and is being promoted through its community newspapers, including the 100 Mile House Free Press. The heavy rainfall that swept through the Village displaced more than 130 residents in 63 homes and destroyed two houses, leading Village of Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta to declare a state of emergency. Ranta noted Councillor Wyatt McMurray was chairing a funding committee. It will soon set criteria for how to apply for some the money raised, and determine who will be recipients. In the South Cariboo, Royal Lepage 100 Mile Realty realtors donated $1,000 to assist families displaced in the flood. Office manager Ron Kelly noted

All of the office’s realtors contributed to boost the Village’s flood relief fund.

that when he passed along the cheque, he heard Ranta say provincial relief is available to people who lost their homes. However, he added, it only covers up to 80 per cent of their repairs, with the property value excluded. “This will leave many of them in bad shape. One lady said she is eligible for $180,000 and her mortgage balance is $204,000.” The 100 Mile House Free Press staff has donated $200, and challenged other Black Press community newspapers to meet or beat that amount. Many people affected by the flood lost almost everything they owned, and most of them were told this is not covered by insurance. Anyone who wants to donate to the Cache Creek fund can go to https:// fundrazr.com/campaigns/8zs29. More information on the Cache Creek recovery effort and status is online at www.cachecreekvillage.com. As of June 3, $57,912 has been raised to help the Cache Creek residents.

GM DEALER RENOS

District of 100 Mile House council has approved a development permit for the construction of a new entrance tower at Central GM. The applicant, Tom Bachynski, proposed to demolish the existing triangular entrance tower and replace it with a new rectangular entry tower with blue metal cladding to comply with GM Canada’s new image program.

MALL FACADE Council approved a development permit for the redevelopment and upgrade of the exterior building facade at Coach House Square from the north side of Save-On-Foods to the former KFC store. It includes a new facade along with two large tenant signs (for unspecified brands), and was applied for by an architect on behalf of the complex owner Anthem Coach House Square Ltd.

CONTRACT Council awarded a rewrite contract for the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw to The Arlington Group (AG), for a proposed budget of $54,640 plus applicable taxes.

NCLGA votes unanimously in favour of CRD’s proposal

Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond brought forward and gleaned some interesting information at the recent North Central Local Government Association’s 60th AGM and Convention in Prince George. He was among the more than 300 mayors, councillors, regional directors, First Nations representatives and industry stakeholders who met May 6-8 to have their local resolutions tabled and debated, and to discuss hot-button issues for their communities. The forestry-related resolution submitted by the CRD and its member municipalities received widespread and unanimous support from across British Columbia, Richmond says. “The intention was to try to ensure the timber that BC Timber Sales [BCTS] has does, in fact, get to market and is available to be processed.” A defined portion of the annual allowable cut (AAC) in the 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Quesnel forest districts is allocated to the BCTS. Richmond says this artificially drives up the cost of purchasing timber for the other licensees to put it into production because BCTS isn’t always making that fibre available all the time, and instead

withholds it. “That resolution certainly has resonated; it has a lot of support throughout the North.” Now, the resolution

will go for consideration and debate at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual conference this fall in Vancouver, along with

all the other resolutions from across the province. “We’ll be speaking to it on the floor at UBCM.”

If the local forestry resolution passes there, UBCM will then lobby the provincial government to deliver the full AAC under the BCTS, and to perform a complete science-based inventory of the available timber supply.

Big turnout for meeting

By Diana Forster Cariboo Regional District (CRD) protective services manager Rowena Bastien chaired an important information meeting at Sulphurous Lake Fire Hall on May 16 The meeting centred on the potential amalgamation of Sulphurous L ake Distric t Volunteer Firefighters’ Association (SLDVFA) and Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD.) Bastien said strict new rules are now in place for all firefighters, whether they are paid or volunteer, and similar training is mandatory for all. She added “mutual aid” covers all local fire departments.

The meeting established that because the original DLDVFD bylaw allowed for expansion into Sulphurous and Hathaway lakes, the DLDVFD’s approval is already in place. Therefore, the only people voting in the upcoming referendum will be Sulphurous/ Hathaway residents. CRD Area L Director Brian Coakley, DLDVFD deputy chief Ted Weight, and DLDVFD training officer Steve Colbert were also on hand to answer the many questions that arose. The congenial meeting confirmed that Sulphurous residents will retain full use of the community section of their fire hall that would also come under

It was also noted that all fire protection taxes collected are “firewalled” – must stay within the immediate area and cannot be moved to any other area

Lobster, baron of beef, great auction items and fun The Rotary Club of 100 Mile House will host its Fourth Annual Lobsterfest fundraiser on June 13. Rotary spokesperson Shawna Norton says the dinner will feature both lobster and baron of beef, and there will be live and silent auctions, as well as 50/50 and bucket draws. “This event is a major contributor to Rotary fundraising efforts, which over the past 38 years, have resulted in over $875,000 in donations to 100 Mile and area.”

Correction The story, headlined Search for missing women, children over, on page 7 of the May 28 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press incorrectly identified a previously-missing person, Skylar Campbell, as a female friend of a woman also recently located. Skylar is actually a male and the woman’s husband. We apologize for any inconvenience or embarrassment this may have caused.

This year’s proceeds will be directed to the proposed Centennial Park Pavilion. Norton notes the live auction will include ATVs, a television and

Truth revealed

Why are drug prices high?

anadians now spend $34 billion per year on pharmaceuticals. That is almost a $1,000 for every man, woman and child – considerably more than most citizens of other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries spend on comparable or better drug plans. In New Zealand, for example, a national list of drugs aggressively pursues the most cost effective drugs and negotiates the best obtainable prices. Even countries – France, Italy and Spain – spend less than Canadians do for the same basket of drugs. According to a recent study conducted by several experts on drug policy published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Canadians could save $8 billion per year on prescription drugs (well over 20 per cent of our total costs) if we had a single–payer system of PharmaCare. More people would be

GUEST SHOT

n June 2, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released a report on its five-year, $60-million study of Canada’s residential schools, and the damaging affect it had on First Nations, Inuit and Metis children. Residential schools were started in the 1840s, and they were run by governments and churches. The last of the residential schools closed in 1996. Around 150,000 children were ripped away from their homes to attend these facilities, and an estimated 80,000 survivors are alive today. Some 7,000 survivors talked to the TRC about their horrific experiences at the residential schools. In his closing remarks, TRC chair Justice Murray Sinclair noted many of the survivors’ stories were difficult to listen to because they involved the physical, sexual and mental abuse they suffered, which too often characterized the residential schools. Most agree this was one of Canada’s darkest times. These schools were run under a mandate to “take the Indian out of the child.” The goal was to force the assimilation of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples. However, the children developed deep scars from being taken away from their families, stripped of their identities and traditions, and being beaten if they spoke in their native tongue and not English, as well as sexual, physical and mental abuse. In many cases, the scars these children took with them when they left the residential schools stunted their emotional development and self-esteem, which grew into feelings of being lost, anger and detachment from their families when they returned to their communities. This, in turn, led to alcohol and drug abuse, violent rages and crimes, which led to misguided decision-making, violent deaths and incarceration. In many cases, the scars have been passed on through the generations. The TRC disclosed the truth about the horrors of the residential school system and the negative impact it has had on Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples. All Canadians will have to accept and learn to understand these truths and be prepared to make changes so there can be real reconciliation with our country’s first people. The commission made 94 recommendations to lead to reconciliation, and education is a key component. We, as adults, can no longer ignore the atrocities of the residential school system. We need to study the report to educate ourselves and have our schools teach our children how to lead the way to reconciliation through our federal, provincial and territorial governments. The road to reconciliation will be long and it will require a lot of work by everyone. Perhaps the best starting point would be ensuring aboriginal children have the same quality of life as all non-aboriginal children.

commission that came a few years later with the negotiation of the CanadaEuropean Trade Agreement (CETA). Canada needs to encourage investment in research, development and manufacturing, but that neither explains nor justifies our history of higher prices. Remember when Brian Mulroney first angered seniors by improving patent protection for drugs and making generic drugs more expensive, way back in 1987? At that time, the pharmaceutical industry promised to spend 10 per cent of sales revenues on research and development in exchange for higher prices. What happened? Research spending has been well below 10 per cent since 2002. How can we be confident that drug companies will serve consumers any better under CETA?

Senate seat to represent Vancouver Island

To the editor: This is an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. This letter is a response to your December remark, that you’re not “getting a lot of calls from Canadians to name more Senators.” If you decide to appoint just one Senator this year, out of 13 vacancies, please consider the special place Vancouver Island played in Confederation. Vancouver Island has 780,000

residents and no representation in the Senate. One of six seats apportioned to British Columbia is vacant and could redress this imbalance. Vancouver Island’s history is rich, having an upper chamber while still a colony and being the first elected Parliamentary democracy in the West prior to Confederation. So, too, our size, Island culture and unique coastal attributes warrant a voice in

our governance. If the Senate is to balance regional representation in our country, then it is only fair and reasonable that at least one Senator reside here and represent the interests and perspective of Vancouver Islanders. We know the Constitution presently ties your hands in terms of what Senate seats are allocated to each region, and that your efforts for Senate reform were rejected by

the Supreme Court last March. Our suggestion does not argue for or against a Senate, but does invite incremental legislative change that will not contravene Supreme Court opinions or the Constitution. In the interest of good governance we would applaud any initiative to identify Vancouver Island candidates for the Senate, including a referendum in the upcoming federal election.

Mr. Prime Minister, as your plans address the Senate please consider Vancouver Island’s long and proud contribution to Confederation, and act to strengthen our partnership in this fair country. Laurie Gourlay and Scott Aikenhead, President and director, Vancouver Island & Coast Conservation Society

Site C Dam not needed Budget steals from poor seniors

To the editor: This is an open letter to Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett. I would like to express my opposition to the Site C dam proposal. First, at an estimated $9 billion, the dam would be extremely costly. This is when BC Hydro’s debt, at roughly $18 billion, is already huge and growing. BC Hydro is also hiding billions of dollars of expenses in deferral accounts. In addition, BC Hydro now owes over $56 billion for contracted power from independent power projects. I’d say BC Hydro is heading for bankruptcy. The Site C dam would flood land that could be used for agriculture. Recent drought in California means we should be growing more food in British Columbia.

B.C. doesn’t need the power from Site C. Demand for electricity has not been growing. LNG export, which would use a lot of power, does not look likely. B.C.’s total provincial debt is growing enormously. Site C would add to that. Site C would cause our BC Hydro rates to go up even faster. To sum up, Site C would push BC Hydro deeper into perilous debt, increase hydro rates, flood agricultural land, all for un-needed power. I am not automatically opposed to all industrial development. I’m in favour of projects and industries, which make sense for B.C. in the long term. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this important issue. Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

To the editor: The federal Conservative government’s latest budget gives the most to those who need it the least. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s priority is a $2-billion incomesplitting plan and a massive increase to the limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs). Both of these measures disproportionately benefit the rich instead of focusing that help on the middle class and those who are working hard to join it. The vast majority of Canadian households – 85% – won’t get a dime from income-splitting, but they will be the ones left to pay for it. Increasing the TFSA limit to $10,000 per year is also expensive and unfair. The previous TFSA limit was

helping the middle class save for retirement. However, most Canadians won’t benefit from the new higher limit. Canadians who are struggling don’t have an extra $10,000 to sock away each and every year. The new TFSA limit will end up costing the government billions of dollars each year. A third of that cost will be borne by the provinces. And because TFSAs don’t count toward incometested benefits, it will result in additional Old Age Security (OAS) payments for already wealthier seniors. When asked about the long-term consequences of the new TFSA limit, Finance Minister Joe Oliver shrugged and said it was a problem for “Stephen Harper’s granddaughter to solve.” These are the same Conservatives

who, shortly after the last election, broke their promise and passed a law to increase the age of Old Age Security from 65 to 67. They falsely claimed they had to do it in order to keep the OAS program financially sustainable. Increasing the age of OAS to 67 takes $32,000 away from each of Canada’s poorest and most vulnerable seniors. The government will be taking that money away at precisely the same time as the extra OAS payments for wealthier seniors start to really kick-in. “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer” used to be an old adage. Under the federal Conservatives, it has become government policy. Scott Brison, MP Liberal Party Finance Critic

BC VIEWS

e might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is British Columbia viewed around the world? Ever since United States billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that B.C. is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced. In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the north and central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.” Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies. Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land-use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club,

interests! Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The B.C. Liberal government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010. Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land-use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values. Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Man stabbed Sunday in Williams Lake WILLIAMS LAKE - A man is in stable condition after being stabbed in Williams Lake Sunday (May 31), the RCMP said Monday. Police responded to a complaint of a disturbance in the 900 block of Western Avenue at 6:34 p.m. on May 31, North District RCMP noted in a press release. "Initially, it is believed that two women were fighting out front of a residence," the RCMP said. "During the fight, a group of people came out of a nearby residence and attacked one of the men who was with one of the women involved in the fight." It is believed that one of the attackers punched the victim in the face, stabbed him twice, and then fled the scene. The victim was taken to hospital. "This is believed to be an isolated incident as the parties involved are well known to police," the RCMP said.

Sheriff treated after being pricked by needle KAMLOOPS - A deputy sheriff is undergoing medical treatment after being pricked by a needle while searching a bag this week at the Kamloops Law Courts. The sheriff was searching the bag of an admitted intravenous drug user on Wednesday when a needle broke through his search glove and contacted his finger. It did not break skin, but did leave an imprint. The woman told sheriffs she has hepatitis C and HIV. The sheriff went to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment and has been placed on a post-exposure drug cocktail.

Yes, it has gotten out of hand in this area. There has been a lot of that going on.

No. I am living at Horse Lake and our neighbourhood seems to be pretty secure.

It is hard to say. I am not aware of an increase in these crimes, but knowing the local statistics would help me decide my answer to that.

Yes. We have actually witnessed police responding to crimes at a trailer park and a store at the Cariboo Mall. This seems to be increasing.

South Cariboo resident was arrested and held in custody facing three counts of break and enter, three counts of theft under $5,000 and three counts of mischief under $5,000. Pita Jack owner Gerhard Loeffeler says his business was hit in this crime spree. An adjacent hallway was broken into and then the kitchen door busted down to gain entry to the restaurant, but there was nothing of any great value to steal, he notes. However, Pita Jack’s closed-circuit camera was able to effectively track the subject’s movements while inside, Loeffeler adds.

Public urged to be careful when lighting fires The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) responded to another six new lightning-caused wildfires on the weekend (May 29-31), says Emily Epp, communication specialist with the Wildfire Management Branch. “We had a couple in each of our planning zones. We discovered two Friday, two Saturday and two Sunday, but they were all small fires.” Four of the wildfires have been put out and crews are responding to the fifth one located at the north side of Young Lake east of 70 Mile House, and the sixth one at Bowling Point on the North Arm of Quesnel Lake. On May 22-24, there were 10 lightningcaused fires, with the majority of them sparked in the 100 Mile House area, Epp says. “We are seeing a

surprising amount of lightning-caused wildfires for this time of year. On average, we see about seven, and some years it is much less. Last year, we had one lightning-caused fire.” The CFC expects during the next few days that it will be responding to small lightning-caused fires, Epp says, adding the centre is very appreciative of the public’s quick reporting so the fires can be kept small. Air patrols are also done periodically over areas that have been hit

with the most lightning to keep an eye out for any smoke. The CFC has responded to 69 fires since April 1, 2015 – 33 of them were ignited by lightning. Currently, large-scale Category 3 burning is restricted in the Cariboo Fire Centre. With the increase of naturally-occurring fires, the Wildfire Management Branch is reminding the public to exercise caution in the back country and with all types of fire use, Epp notes.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20th

Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) members met with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) volunteers to clean up the Hire Hall #1 yard and wash the fire trucks inside and out on May 9. Every year, RBC bestows a donation of $1,000 towards charitable organizations after helping with work duties. This year, the FGVFD was one of the recipients. Having just completed various renovations and upgrades – a new roof, front, doors and lettering, as well as improved lighting and insulation – Hall #1 now looks radiant and ready for action.

Tea and talent A volunteer appreciation tea preceded this year’s talent showcase at the Forest Grove Elementary School, with more than 20 people attending. School principal Shawn Nelson thanked all those having become involved with school duties and events, which reflected on the diversity in our thriving community. The number of students is still increasing, with 46 being expected to attend this fall. Twenty-one performances were presented to an extensive and enthusiastic audience, which also included students

Limited Compliance Actions Highlight Commitment to Professionalism The Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. Despite more than 1300 consumer enquiries, nearly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitoring, the last 12 months generated the following limited compliance activities: ❚ Over 500 consumer-initiated investigations resulted in the return of $1 million to 189 consumers from 430,000 transactions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales. ❚ This included voluntary acknowledgement and action by four dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as documented in signed undertakings. ❚ Five dealers faced hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers regarding allegations of deceptive business practices – Auto Empire, Golden Year Auto, Northland Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Silk Road Autos, and Trinity Auto.

❚ And, as a result of licensing reviews, three salesperson licences were denied, one was suspended and two were issued with conditions based on prior conduct. In addition, three licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were upheld by the BC Supreme Court, following applications for judicial review. The licensed vehicle sales industry in BC includes 1430 licensed RV, motorcycle and auto dealers that employ 7300 licensed salespeople. In the last 12 months, 1600 new salespeople and 100 new dealers were certified and licensed. Consumer awareness activities, like the Watch out for Walt! campaign, are ongoing. Consumer information, complete compliance details and the 2015 VSA Annual Report, which includes a full summary of VSA activities for the last three years, can be found at vehiclesalesauthority.com.

CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

At a minimum, get a CarProof Vehicle History Report before you buy Find a licensed dealer or report a curber at

The local troupe had a great time at the regional event, performing along with two Williams Lake productions, Hooper says.

“It was great for Renee and Chris. They got to experience another theatre and they got to perform again, which they always love doing.” Larochelle and Adams starred in Love Letters when it was shown in 100 Mile House last fall. The two-act drama centres on two characters – Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III – sitting side by side on stage, reading from letters and notes they've exchanged with each other throughout their lives. It's at different times a funny, romantic and tumultuous journey. The theatre group will soon be releasing its upcoming season schedule following director pitches in May and June.

Master gardeners, beekeepers to speak Public invited to TIMBER MART to learn from experts TIMBER MART in 100 Mile House is hosting a couple of special public events in June. General manager Ralph Myhill-Jones says beekeepers Roger Meeks and Denese Hark will be at the store on June 6, 9 a.m.- noon, to demonstrate how to build your own (traditional Langstroth) beehives inexpensively. Myhill-Jones says TIMBER MART is also pleased to once again bring in master gardeners to speak at the Garden Centre, which had a good turnout and results last year. There will be two PowerPoint presentations – one on container gardening, and the other on native bees in the area, he explains. “They will be here from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 13, and they are going to be available for questions and answers on anything people can come up with. “Master gardeners are

experts in their field, they have to go through all kinds to training to be able to achieve

that status.” There will also be refreshments available, he notes.

Hospital lab unit replaced

Carole Rooney Free Press

The 100 Mile & District General Hospital has a new piece of essential lab equipment thanks to the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF). SCHF spokesperson Brenda Devine says the new VWR Digital Mini Incubator and Thermometer unit brings heightened efficiency to the hospital laboratory. With a value of $900, the new incubator offers an economical and space saving solution for microbiology (microorganism studies) or hematology (blood work) applications. It will see more regular use than the current model, which is rarely used because it is the size of a dishwasher and its main function was

transferred to another centre, she explains. However, Devine notes laboratory test tubes fit nicely in the new little one that also sports a glass viewing door. “The little one will be

way more adequate for our needs in 100 Mile House.” The larger unit will likely go to a bigger health centre somewhere within the Interior Health region, she adds.

Walt the Curber prowling the Cariboo Walt the Curber will be travelling throughout the Cariboo June 9-13, and he will be visiting a number of car dealers along the way, including a stop in 100 Mile House on June 10 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. before he heads up to Williams Lake. Free Press readers have likely seen his mugshot under a bold red warning to “Watch out for Walt!” during the past year, or have read one of his many “Confessions of a Curber.” No public events planned for this trip, says Doug Longhurst, Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) learning and communication director. “We’ll be visiting dealers and we hope to find at least one in each community who would be willing to take some fun photos with Walt perhaps showing him the road out of town at the city limits or next to his wanted poster. “We’re looking for photos we can use in future campaigns and on our website: vehiclesalesauthority.com.” Curbers are individuals and companies selling vehicles as a business, without a licence and often by posing as private sellers, Longhurst explains. Used vehicle buyers are putting their safety and finances at risk when they purchase a vehicle from a curber instead of a licensed dealer. Licensed dealers are required to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose the history and condition of a vehicle, he says, adding curbers are not. “Buy a vehicle from a licensed dealer, the VSA is there to provide assistance. Buy privately and you’re on your own!” Longhurst estimates that “up to 30 per cent of buyers (or 45,000 a year) may not realize they have bought from a curber.” Consumers are urged to request vehicle history reports, select safe vehicles and buy from licensed dealers, he notes.

Obituaries HORN

Christian June 19, 1922 - May 25, 2015

Chris died peacefully May 25, 2015 after many good years. Born in Ashcroft June 19, 1922, to Anna (Nath) and Hartwig Horn, he came by stage to 70 Mile House and then by horseback in his father’s arms 30 miles to the ranch beyond Lone Butte. The youngest of four boys, and older than penicillin, his life’s mission was to be a cattleman and a farmer. He acquired his own ranch in 1947 after working on the family ranch, his uncle August’s ranch, and for Jack Skaday. All the while courting Helen Granberg. He married Helen on his birthday in 1948 in Williams Lake and danced in Lac La Hache on the way home that evening. While building the ranch and doing what needed to be done, Chris also had a land clearing business, a small sawmill, and had the pleasure of piloting his own plane. Enduring the cattle business from before tractors, he battled rocks, stumps, and sticks with diesel and dynamite, survived multiple back surgeries, electricity, fire, brucellosis, then MS and cancer. He proved hard to kill and resilient to the end. He had actively farmed and ranched as long as he was physically able, and always took pleasure in a good story and a game of cards. Of the many things he enjoyed, waterfalls and cherries were easily shared. He leaves his wife of 67 years, Helen, his last dog, “CD”, his son Gus, many nieces and nephews and their families, as well as a wealth of good friends and neighbours. He is predeceased by his parents, Anna and Hartwig, and brothers Stanley, Arthur, and Walter (Shorty), as well as many horses and dogs, not to mention the cattle. At this time a service is not planned. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome a note or card with a story or anecdote of an memory of a encounter or event (sweet or salty) with Chris. We appreciate the kindness, support and caring of so many, including Dr. Dickie, Dr. Machete, and the staff at 100 Mile Hospital and Fischer Place.

Ask an Expert: What is the best fence for my yard?

250-395-3835

There is no simple answer to this question except to say that the best type of fence is the one that best serves its intended purpose. Fences are installed for a variety of reasons, ranging from safety for a pet or child to privacy or purely aesthetic purposes. Either a vinyl, chain link, or wood fence is a viable fencing option, each with its own set of pros and cons. A vinyl fence is both aesthetically pleasing and as maintenance-free as a fence can get. Vinyl fencing comes in a variety of styles and heights, making it an ideal choice for just about every fencing purpose. Vinyl fencing is available in different colors and widths as well. The durable construction of vinyl fencing is appealing, as is the low-maintenance aspect of vinyl – no need to paint or stain, only to wash. However, vinyl fencing is usually more expensive per foot than the chain link or wood alternatives. Chain link fencing is the least expensive type of fencing, but unlike a vinyl or wood fence, a chain link fence provides no privacy. A chain link fence will be a fairly durable fencing option, but one that is prone to rusting and pitting. However, wear and tear on a chain link fence is less obvious than wear and tear on a wood fence, and requires less maintenance. Chain link fencing is a terrific choice for limited budgets as well as situations where only temporary fencing may be required.

A wood fence combines aesthetics and privacy at a slightly more affordable price than vinyl. Wood fencing can be purchased in various heights and styles and can be accentuated by various post-toppers, making it possible to fence any style home accordingly. A wood fence looks nice and the natural characteristics of wood make it appealing to many homeowners. The biggest drawback to a wood fence is the maintenance. Much like a wood deck, a wood fence needs to be washed and stained every couple of years to keep it looking nice. Wood fences may also rot away in places, making them less durable than vinyl and chain link fences. When choosing wood, expect a possible slight increase in homeowner’s insurance, resulting from an increased risk of fire caused by stray sparks from an outdoor fireplace, grill, or damaged power line. In short, choosing between a vinyl, chain link, or wood fence is a matter of affordability and overall appearance and function. When properly installed and maintained, most any type of fence is acceptable for keeping small children and pets safe, but privacy and appearance can only be achieved through vinyl or wood fencing options.

Mt. Timothy Ski Society gains grant

MLA Donna Barnett finds funding for ski hill society

Mt. Timothy Ski Society has received $45,000 from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Development. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented them with the cheque on May 1, and said the ski hill brings in major tourism and also benefits residents

in both the South and Central Cariboo. “It services the region. Schoolchildren go up there regularly and learn how to ski and how to do programs and safety.” Aside from all its benefits for folks of all ages who enjoy the hill, the region needs sufficient activities to keep its

young people and bring in others, something that is “very important” to her personally, she adds.

“That ski hill is run by volunteers and has millions of dollars and hours into it. It is so

important to keep that hill alive and vibrant for tourism, but also for the purposes of the region –

for everybody. “I am so thrilled I was able to find the money to help them out.”

aul Archer is a guy who airbrushes huge murals for rockstars and does wicked designs for their tour buses. He’s a man with mischievous eyes and a lit cigarette in his mouth, tattooed arms in a sleeveless shirt, hands in black gloves with the fingers cut off – just some of the more visible attributes comprising the Vancouverbased artist’s raspy, rock ‘n roll persona. Archer was flown up here recently, brought in to supply the very specific, talented touch he’s developed through decades of handling an airbrush. Archer collaborated with Mike Bolivar, whose family property is located southeast of 100 Mile House on Fawn Lake Road, deep in Cariboo country, on the local classic car restorer’s newest project. Bolivar’s ranch is surrounded by quiet, seemingly everlasting acres of green field and tranquil forest. A place of peace and solitude for Bolivar, where he can work in his garage, customizing vehicles, undisturbed for days at a time. A little slice of paradise, he calls it, God’s Country in the British Columbia Interior. Archer smokes a cigarette in Bolivar’s shop and looks over at his newest creation: a bright, silver-shining image of Janis Joplin, “The Queen of Psychedelic Soul”, screaming into a microphone, eyes closed, kaleidoscopic feath-

ers in her hair. Archer’s canvas: the hood of a red 1963 Mercury Comet, which Bolivar has been meticulously bringing back to life since last fall. On the trunk, in shining Hippie font, are the lyrics to Mercedes Benz, a big Joplin hit – “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” Archer is known as the “airbrush artist to the stars”. He’s had a long, illustrious career, and according to Bolivar, he’s the perfect guy for this particular job. Archer has worked with rockers such as David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Sting and Metallica. He’s got stories about arm wrestling Johnny Depp, playing foosball with Rob Zombie, Axl Rose singing his daughter a lullaby. His art has opened doors to

very interesting worlds. “All I ever did was draw,” Archer says, recalling a 30-year airbrushing career, and his childhood days drawing the characters he saw on television. “I’m not good at anything else.” The vintage Comet being rebuilt belongs to a psychiatrist in Williams Lake named Vona Priest. The car has been in her family for a long time. It belonged to her grandfather once. He used to drive her to school in it. She’s had it since 1989. After years of rust-gathering and dilapidation, she wanted it restored, and found Bolivar, who started on the old Ford last fall. Bolivar talks about the car being full of mice and bird crap when he first saw it. Priest gave him instructions to basically restore it to just-rolled-off-the-assembly-

line form. Plus, in honour of her grandfather, who was a very religious man, she wanted “the Lord” in there represented somewhere. And she saw Janis Joplin perform live in 1970 and she loves Janis Joplin. Priest thought “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” a nice combination and fitting tribute to both individuals. So Bolivar, the rancher/car guy who’s admittedly not much of an internet guy, went and punched “airbrush artist” into Google. When he saw Archer’s work, he knew he found exactly who they needed. Painting large murals is where the big money is, Archer explains. But he has painted vehicles before – including party buses, motorcycles, boats. Continued on B2

From B1

Archer says he was stressed about this job at first, in a remote spot, so far away from his studio and most of his equipment in Vancouver, where he also does a lot of work for the film and music industry. He was a little out of his element out here, he explains, but he settled in. It’s a beautiful and quiet place after all, and he’s thankful for Bolivar’s hospitality. Bolivar is looking to have the Comet ready for Priest in time for an ALS fundraising event at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake on June 13. Where the fullyrestored Comet is sure to catch eyes and turn heads. Custom restoration jobs like this can range from $40,000 to $250,000, depending on what the owner wants added, Bolivar explains. “I’m very happy with the work and I’m very impressed with [Archer’s] artwork,” Bolivar says. “I can’t wait to see this thing [clear-coated].” Fifty hours into the

paint job with only a few finishing touches left to apply, Archer was also pleased with the work.

“I think I nailed it,” he says. Priest, the car’s owner, thinks so too. She took a drive out to the ranch for a sneak peak on May 23. Of the new paint job, she says: “Oh my God, it’s amazing.” Of Archer: “That guy is an artist, he really is.”

Women’s Centre welcomes new members, donations The 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society is an essential local resource vulnerable people turn to regularly. The non-profit agency provides counselling services and programs for the protection of women. It is holding its annual general meeting (AGM) in room 224 on the second level of the South Cariboo Business Centre, 475 Birch Ave., on June 17, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The need for the organization’s services in the 100 Mile House area, especially with recent cuts to an emergency food hamper program, is real and pressing, explains executive director Sonja Ramsay. “We’re only open 20 hours a week, and in 2014, we served over 5,000 clients. The number of members is climbing, but we’d love every person in the community to become a member of the Women’s Centre Society.” With the loss of emergency food hamper funding, the Women’s Centre is reaching out to the community for monetary or non-perishable food donations. The Women’s Centre is also taking on the issue of human trafficking, which will be discussed at the AGM. The organization is working with British Columbia’s Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons and is planning a two-day event to raise awareness in the fall. Ramsay encourages local social service providers to get involved.

Creekside seniors celebrate 20 year anniversary Grand Opening Specials Esthetics & Skin Care Studio

Public event features speakers, entertainment and cake

Creekside Seniors Activity Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary on June 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. Cariboo Elders Building and Recreation Society president Renata Cargnelutti says the free public event will feature guest dignitaries, live entertainment, cake and refreshments. Historic photos will be displayed and the celebration will

showcase all that the centre offers for folks aged 50 and up (or with younger spouses), she notes. “We encourage people to turn out and just see our facility and what we have to offer, and we always welcome new members.” Guest speakers include Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campbell, and Councillor Ralph Fossum (for the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House). Founding member and first president, Nick Laxton, will travel up from Chilliwack for the event. Together they will share their collective memories, such as how

Rotary had donated the land for the centre, and the sponsors, donors and volunteers who all came together to do it. Enjoyable, practical and healthy activities abound at the centre from potluck dances three times a year to semi-weekly card games, carpet bowling and billiards (pool). Cargnelutti notes organizations rent meeting rooms and hold classes at the facility, and the hall and kitchen is available for private functions. “It’s amazing the people that don’t know about us.” The centre is located off Cedar Avenue behind the Ambulance Station. For more information, call Renata at 250-395-4430.
