A meeting between the NDP candidate campaigning to represent this riding in the upcoming federal election and Canim Lake Band leaders was made more poignant with the long-awaited and much-anticipated release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report on the same day (June 2). The TRC, which for six years investigated the notorious history of residential schools in Canada, made 94 policy recommendations to help achieve reconciliation between First Nations people and the rest of Canada. The report documents thousands of deaths, physical and sexual abuse, substandard education, malnutrition, and a government policy of “cultural genocide” in the residential school system, led by church and government officials, which saw the removal of First Nations children from their families in an attempt to suppress and destroy aboriginal culture. “Canadians are a very compassionate and just people, but we also have to seize this moment to be honest about our history,” says Bill Sundhu, NDP candidateforKamloopsThompson-Cariboo. “We know the history of the country, Continued on A5

Richard Wright and Patrice Bowler had a lot of fun during the auction at the Theatre Royal fundraiser for the Cache Creek flash flood victims in Martin Exeter Hall on June 5. The dedicated Newman & Wright Theatre Company cast finished an afternoon performance in Barkerville at 2 p.m., put on a great performance in 100 Mile House that evening and arrived back in Barkerville at 2 a.m. The event raised more than $6,800.

Barkerville benefit a boon
Carole Rooney Free Press
The devastating flash flood that recently hit the Village of Cache Creek prompted some folks to hold a benefit auction and concert in 100 Mile House on June 5. The idea was conceived by Richard Wright and Amy Newman (Newman & Wright Theatre Company). Live entertainment was provided by Newman & Wright’s Theatre Royal cast, along with speakers from Cache Creek, 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Barkerville. Wright says the event raised more than $6,800 for flood victims and their families. “We were really pleased to do
it and we felt it was a great success. All the cast was excited by it and it was a fantastic audience. “They really did a bang-up job of it and that excitement also helped [in the success] I think.” The benefit show happened in “large part” due to 100 Mile House Free Press publisher Chris Nickless, Wright adds. While several people had told Wright it was a good idea, he says Nickless was the one who immediately seized and ran with it. “It wouldn’t have happened without him.” Nickless says it was an “unbelievable” show with great performances and a terrific turnout. “A huge thanks has to go to
the Theatre Royal for going above and beyond to make this benefit show happen.” He notes the troupe was performing their regular show in Barkerville until 2 p.m. the same day, and was on stage at Martin Exeter Hall for the benefit by 6 p.m. and then back home at 2 a.m. before another show later in the day. Many 100 Mile House and area, Wells and Barkerville merchants contributed to the auction items, and several local volunteers helped make the show a success. Wright says in-kind donations totalled more than $10,000 for the cast’s time, the Red Rock Grill’s sponsorship, Barkerville’s personnel and a vehicle, and other
show supports. However, he adds hearing some Cache Creek residents are having difficulty getting financial aid from the province was “disappointing and distressing.” One family was rejected because they had not moved into their new house yet, which was badly damaged in the flood, but had just sold the home where they were living, he notes. Village of Cache Creek fundraising committee chair, Councillor Wyatt McMurray, says legislation is the issue, not the Disaster Financial Assistance program staff that is doing the best it can to assist the victims.

‘This is about raising money’ Local teacher raising funds for cancer research, huge bike ride planned
Gaven Crites Free Press
N
early one year after a scary lymphoma diagnosis, 100 Mile House resident Shawn Meville is taking The Challenge, a two-day, 300-plus-kilometre cycling ride from Vancouver to Seattle, raising money for cancer research. The longtime teacher at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School is participating in the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation, Aug. 29-30. Meville was diagnosed with a very rare, yet luckily very treatable, type of lymphoma in September 2014. Oncologists give him an 80 to 90 per cent successful recovery chance following precision radiation treatment he received to remove a tumour on his shoulder in March. The relatively straightforward treatment process and the positive prognosis speak to the significant advances made in cancer research – a cause made famous by icons like Terry Fox, a personal hero of Meville’s – and the importance of further supporting the cause, Meville believes. “Through research we’ve learned this type of lymphoma that I have is connected

to a bacteria [and can be treated with antibiotics if it returns],” Meville explains. “What I found really powerful was that they figured that out. Ten, 15, 20-years ago, they might have cut you open and tried to remove it.
Now, they know.” Meville, 47, is an avid cyclist. But while he’s participated in a couple of long charity rides before, none have been this long. In preparation, he’s cycling as much as possible while balancing
a busy family life and the winding down of the school year. “You got to train, you got to put some time in on the bike. There’s no doubt in my mind I can get the miles down and be in shape to go.”
Or, as he puts it on his personal Support My Ride to Conquer Cancer page: “And this is how this is going to go down...sleep, eat, train, raise money, repeat. Bring it.” Meville has already surpassed his original goal of $2,500. He’s raised more than $3,000, and he’s looking for more contributions throughout the summer. His goal now: raising more money for the cause. Meville talks about an 18-month stretch a few years back in which 10 friends and family members of his received cancer diagnoses. That number includes a couple of former students, young people. He says that time in his life really “hollowed” him out. He says his cancer was merely a “schoolyard scrap” compared to what other people sometimes have to fight. “Through this whole thing, I was more worried about my family – my kids and my wife and my mom and dad, and what they had to go through with this.” “A lot of people have it way worse than I have it,” he adds. “I’m not a big fan of getting my name in the paper or anything like that, but this isn’t about me. This is about raising money.” Visit www. conquercancer. ca to donate.
Farmland losses in government’s focus
Carole Rooney Free Press
Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says reforesting farmland in the Interior goes against the intent of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), and he is looking for a way to prevent it. British corporation Reckitt Benckiser Inc. (RB) is continuing to snap up ALR land in the Cariboo and Vanderhoof areas. In recent years, the United Kingdom-based manufacturer planted this ALR land with trees to gain European carbon offsets, and froze it with covenants to prevent logging for at least 100 years. Those covenants required Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) approval, which gave the province an arm to enforce farmland preservation. While RB is looking to purchase
more ALR property in the Cariboo, Letnick says he has been informed that this time the planting is not for the carbon offsets, but rather to improve public opinion, so covenants – and ALR approvals – aren’t required. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says landowners in the ALR have always been able to plant trees, and “a lot of ranchers” do this as a buffer to help retain water and for windbreaks. “A landowner can plant trees without seeking approval. If this is not for carbon offsets, then people do have the right to plant trees.” Barnett notes she has not discussed the matter with Letnick, but this might be a discussion private landowners may wish to engage in. It is a “difficult and very complex” situation, she adds. “We need our grasslands, big time. And then, of course, you have to say
if it is legal in the ALR and a rancher can’t sell and he loses his grazing lease, what is he to do with his land? “A lot of land within the Cariboo region is marginal ... a lot of times you really can’t grow anything [for harvesting], in essence, if you have no water.” However, Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson has told media these are not marginal lands involved now, but good arable property currently growing alfalfa, and one is a historical ranch. He continues to express his longtime concern about RB’s purchase of more than 7,000 hectares of farmland from Prince George to Quesnel during the past few years. Since 2011, legislation has ensured ALC approval for the century-long, no-harvest covenants. Barnett notes there have already been about 1,500 hectares planted in trees in the Vanderhoof and Quesnel
areas, most of them between 2011 and 2014. The MLA says she would like to hear the rancher’s point of view on the issue, as they are most affected. “I think we better have another look at this, and we should be discussing this with the landowners.” She says disappearing British Columbia farmland is a more widespread issue than foreign companies planting trees. “We should also be discussing prime agricultural land in the Lower Mainland that is continuously getting turned into housing and development.” Barnett’s 100 Mile House constituency office is located at 7-530 Horse Lake Road, PO Box 95, 100 Mile House, B.C. V0K 2E0; ALR landowners may also call 250-395-3916 or e-mail Donna.Barnett.MLA@leg. bc.ca with their input. With files from Tom Fletcher.

Donations are now being accepted online at www.unitedwaytnc. ca/cachecreek.
NEW WELL A NO-GO
CRD Area H Director Margo Wagner says a report regarding the feasibility of adding a supplementary well to the water system in Forest Grove has ruled out that potential. “Unfortunately it has been determined that there is no suitable new aquifer available other than one that has a high iron content that would require costly water treatment.” The current well and system will be able to provide service within its boundaries, she notes.
WATER SYSTEM Cariboo Regional District (CRD) directors authorized up to $3,000 of Rural Feasibility Funds to perform a system evaluation of a watersystem proposal by Saunders Enterprises Ltd. for the CRD to take over the 103 Mile Water Utility. They resolved to consider taking ownership of the utility, subject to further engineering reviews and public assent.

School district presents preliminary budget
Carole Rooney Free Press
A half a dozen students, teachers and parents attended when the School District #27 (SD27) preliminary 2015/16 budget was presented at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School on May 26. Secretary treasurer Kevin Futcher summarized the high points of the approximately $60.921-million preliminary budget in a PowerPoint presentation just prior to the regular board meeting (held in 100 Mile House). The operating budget was one of the financial schedules discussed, with an expected total
Ministry of Education grant of $51.17 million for 2016, compared to about $51.10 million in 2015. “These are very close as you can see; this is actually quite unusual because between the two years we are forecasting there’s a drop in about 260 students.” However, the province’s per-student funding has increased, with the direction for spending just recently confirmed at a meeting he attended with the ministry, Futcher noted. “They said it is for the increased salary and benefits for the teachers and the other staff.” Most of the other items were also quite similar to the previous
operating budget, he asked if the previously announced shortfall in explained. The decrease in enrol- funding protection was ment carried over into included in the reported the operating expens- ministry grant. Futcher replied that es schedule, where it the cut is still was noted that coming in the forecasted transfinal budget, portation costs (to run about as the ministry does not take 60 SD27 buses) funding protecdropped to tion reductions $60,000 from into consider$75,000 the preation until final vious year. Murray budgets are “It is a balHelmer prepared in the anced budget ... and that is without fall. “If your budget is going into any of the previous year’s surplus balanced now, you are or without making any going to be $800,000 less in revenue ... what large or drastic cuts.” When Futcher opened cuts will you be anticithe floor to questions, pating in the fall?” C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n queried Helmer. Energy-wise, we have Teachers’ Association president Murray Helmer quite a few initiatives

The program criteria restricts eligibility to flood-damaged homes that are principal residences for homeowners who have applied for the homeowner’s property tax grant, he explains. McMurray notes another problem for many people with significant damage to their homes is that the funding covers only 80 per cent of the value of the essential needs in the building (not the property). He adds a family of two would be partly covered for just one bedroom, one bathroom, one dresser, one living room – not for the whole house. Soon the displaced residents will be back in housing of some sort and in need of household items, furniture and clothing, but there is no place to store that in the meantime,
he explains. McMurray asks anyone with items they wish to donate to hold them for now, and to contact the Village Office at 250-457-6237 for details before bringing them anywhere. As of June 10, a total $109,396 had been raised through the BlackPress4Good fundraising campaign, where donations can be made online at https://fundrazr.com/ campaigns/8zs29. McMurray explains the United Way is offering to match donations of $10,000 or more through its own campaign, online at www. unitedwaytnc.ca/ cachecreek. These donations then become part of the main BlackPress4Good campaign, he notes. “The support, kindness and generosity of the surrounding communities has been just absolutely amazing.”
The local people in the flood-devastated community are also really pulling together in mutual support, he adds. “It is absolutely painful today, but at the end of the day, we will be a stronger community.”
that will be taking care of that, Futcher said. “A lot of it would come under administrative savings ... so we will look at that in the fall. “A lot of that, too, will be based on how many students do show up in the fall. These are based on preliminary numbers.” Superintendent Mark Thiessen added SD27 has “done a lot of that planning already.” “We are prepared for that already; decisions [have] been made, staffing-wise.” Helmer then asked if a surplus in the final budget is anticipated. Futcher said he will know that answer shortly.

good and bad, and we move forward in a spirit of reconciliation. If we do that, then we have a positive future for our children and grandchildren, to building a mature, just, fair country. And also one where we can leave behind the legacy of colonialism and impoverishment and the sidelining of aboriginal people for many decades.” Some of the TRC’s key recommendations include more education funding for aboriginal students, addressing the overrepresentation
of aboriginal people in the criminal justice system, the preservation of aboriginal languages, the creation of a public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls, and the creation of a statutory holiday and memorials to honour residential school survivors. Some of the concerns expressed by Canim Lake Band representatives at the meeting had to do with poverty, underfunding education, funding for aboriginal bands and programs, and economic development with
First Nations involvement. Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie says First Nations issues need to be a priority for all political parties. He points to the recent reports of spending shortfalls at Aboriginal Affairs as an example of First Nations being left behind. Regarding the TRC report, Archie says it's going to take a lot of time for some of the report's
94 recommendations to be put in place, and some time after that for reconciliation to occur. "A lot of it has to do with providing those services to First Nations communities to move forward. Until we deal with the history of Canada and treatment of aboriginal people, we're going to be slow in progress. That relationship with First Nations is going to make a big impact."

New restrictions for 108 water The 108 Mile Ranch Water System has expanded water restrictions until 5 p.m. today (June 11). It began at noon on June 9 for structural repairs to the well, and meanwhile, only the water contained in the reservoirs is available. No outdoor watering is permitted (by hand or sprinkler), and residents are asked to minimize indoor usage by postponing laundry, reducing water for bathing and showering, flushing toilets only when required, and not leaving taps running when washing dishes and brushing teeth. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond says the main Sepa Lake well’s aging pitless adapter (a control part in the casing and pipe assembly) is being replaced now because of some leakage noted in mid-May. The CRD regrets any inconvenience this may cause residents, he says, adding crews will also replace an aging well pump at the same time. "We have put into place contingencies for water for the [108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department] should the need occur, with backup support coming from 100 Mile House and Lac la Hache; the Cariboo Fire Centre in Williams Lake has been notified as well." The well at 106 Mile is also ready to provide water to the fire department and the second well at Sepa Lake can be brought online should the need arise, he adds. The second well is not being put into service now due to high manganese levels in its water. For more information, contact the CRD environmental services department toll-free at 1-800-665-1636.

Privacy should matter to everyone

Section 6 of Bill 20 allows candidates, parties to encroach on public privacy
s my friends and family know, I don’t answer my phone. It’s not that I’m anti-social. I just prefer to have the calls go straight to voicemail, which lets me weed out the more obvious spam. It’s a practice that has served me well, particularly around election time when my phone – like those of many other Canadians – rings steadily. This is why section 6 of Bill 20 – the B.C. Liberal government’s Election Amendment Act – has to go. It has the potential to weaponize data profiling by political parties and candidates across British Columbia, giving them on-demand access to voter turnout information. And it is being frog-marched through committee over the protests of the Privacy Commissioner and with no public consultation.

GUEST SHOT
e are proud to live in the Cariboo because we have something special. It’s called the “Cariboo Spirit.” Folks who were born and raised in the Cariboo had this “spirit” passed down to them through the generations. Their parents, grandparents and great grandparents have brought that Cariboo Spirit to the communities they live in. It’s a pretty simple premise: if a member of the family, a friend or a neighbour is going through a tough time, you reach out and help them in any way you can. Through the decades when families were in need of help, neighbours helped build houses and barns, cut the winter wood, brought in the hay, provided food and meals, and looked after the sick and elderly. Nobody asked for the help. It was just the right thing to do. It kept the community strong; it was a matter of survival for the whole community. There was some security in knowing if things turned bad for you and your family, there would be people knocking at your door and asking what they could do to help. Cariboo Spirit was a necessary component of surviving and definitely a way of life. Even in the age of being more independent, the Cariboo Spirit is still alive and kicking. A good example of this “spirit” is the financial assistance that has poured in for the flood victims in the Village of Cache Creek. On May 23, a thunderstorm hammered the Village with a deluge of rain and hail that quickly turned into flash floods and swept through the community. Some 130 residents in 63 homes were displaced as water, debris and mud washed into their homes, and a couple of homes were destroyed. Immediately, that Cariboo Spirit kicked into motion when a 100 Mile House realty company donated $1,000 to support the flood victims. Black Press newspapers, including the 100 Mile House Free Press, started a crowdfunding platform to collect funds for the victims, which has grown to more than $110,000. Then the Cariboo Spirit kicked into high gear when Richard Wright of Newman & Wright’s Theatre Company talked to Free Press publisher Chris Nickless and, together, they organized a live Musical Revue and Auction for the Cache Creek flood victims (read the front page story) on June 5. The Theatre Royal cast finished a performance in Barkerville at 2 p.m., packed up and drove to 100 Mile House to get the stage prepared at 6 p.m., held the auction, performed their revue and helped raise more than $6,800. They drove back to Barkerville by 2 a.m. to put on a 1 p.m. performance that day. That, dear reader, was a lesson in what the Cariboo Spirit is all about – family, friends and neighbours helping those in need.

by any potential pipeline. As a society, we need to start demanding new policies that do more to protect ordinary people’s privacy. We can still fix this bill, but only if the people of B.C. are made aware of its overreach and what that will mean to them personally. As we saw with the federal Bill C-51, people are pretty good at recognizing a stinker once they know all of the facts. We need to start rebuilding trust in the political process and we can take a small step right here. Andrew Weaver, the Deputy Leader of the BC Green Party, has started a petition to remove Section 6. If this concerns you, sign on and circulate it to your friends. If we move quickly, we can make a better B.C. today. Matt Toner is the BC Green Party’s critic for Finance and the New Economy.

Help for parents with the high cost of children To the editor: It’s no surprise that parents with young children hold more than half of all of Canada’s household debt. From parental leave and daycare to sports and school supplies, the costs of raising a child don’t stop adding up. House prices alone have surged ahead of income, and are now about eight times the average pre-tax income of a full-time worker. With increased financial pressures and rising costs, we need
to ask if the support the federal government provides to parents is enough. The answer is no. The current system is a jumble of four programs with different criteria: some are taxable, some are not; some help all kids, some don’t; some disappear if you lose your job; some favour the wealthy. No parent has the time to figure out the complicated system while raising their kids.
The Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to bring back fairness: the Canada Child Benefit. By rolling all these funds together, topping them up with money saved from eliminating waste, and then targeting lower- and middle-income families, it would provide a lot more help per child every month, completely tax-free, to nine out of 10 Canadian families. The lowest income families would get $6,400 a year for a
child under six, and $5,400 for a child over six. The benefit would be reduced gradually as family incomes become larger. The statistically “median” family – two parents and two kids (one under six and one over) with a total income of $90,000 – would get $5,875 per year tax-free, over $2,500 more than the current system. The current system gives money to those who need it least. We can do more for those who really need
help by helping those who truly don’t less. That’s a fairer system. By giving more help to middleclass parents and all those who are working so hard to get there, the Canada Child Benefit will ease pressure on family finances and help every parent give their children the best possible start in life. Fairness is a better plan. John McCallum, MP Liberal Party of Canada
Tax cuts kick debt down the road
To the editor: Re: Why cut taxes for the rich? (Guest Shot, Feb. 26). I’m a senior with a defined-benefit pension plan and income splitting. I’m using the tax free saving accounts (TFSA). I get a seniors’ discount on my
property tax. I can defer my property tax if I want, and some point, I may. I’m not wealthy, but comfortable. Both the federal Conservatives and B.C. Liberals have reduced income taxes for me. Why would I disagree with their policies?
We are the privileged generation – you may enjoy the same privileges, in retirement, while they last. Why the concern? It’s only because we have grandchildren who will pay for the privileges and lifestyle that the B.C. Liberals and Conservatives think we
deserve (for votes), with borrowed government money. It’s called debt, and the B.C. Liberals have doubled it in the last decade or so. Bring back Premier Ralph Klein from Alberta in 20 years. By then I may be gone, and our grandchildren will be working to pay the
Power costs concern forest industry To the editor: A recent Globe and Mail article shows the concern in the British Columbia forest industry about the rising cost of electricity from BC Hydro. “Our industry needs inexpensive power and we need a supply of logs in front of our mills every day,” James Gorman, (president and chief executive officer of the Council of Forest Industries) said. “On the fibre side, we are in a crisis,” and cheap power is becoming a fond memory.
if anything, rates will rise dramatically after the 2017 election to pay down the Crown corporation’s debt. So, BC Hydro rates are going up a lot. Gee, could the fact that BC Hydro owes over $50 billion for expensive, questionable power from Independent Power Projects (IPPs) have anything to do with that? BC Hydro hides billions of dollars of debt in deferral accounts. Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House
As my Grade 11 math teacher said, “You can pay me now, or pay me later, which sounds pretty good to the privileged generation. I hope you can join up soon – while it lasts.
hen it comes into force next year, British Columbia’s new Water Sustainability Act (WSA) will ensure our water is properly regulated, protected and conserved for future generations. It will do this by regulating groundwater for the first time, knowing how much water is being used and ensuring our streams and waterways remain healthy. In times of drought, the new law allows government to ensure water is first used to preserve human life and food production. New staff will be hired and new systems will be developed to bring B.C.’s water law into the 21st century. To pay for these costs, we’ve recently amended the water fees and rentals that water users pay. The new fee structure will cover the costs of implementing the new WSA, and not a penny more. Through our public consultation process,

Help appreciated To the editor: I would like to acknowledge two wonderful citizens in your town. We were staying at Moose Haven when we made a trip into town. While there we had the misfortune of a flat tire. While waiting 45 minutes for a tow truck, two young fellows came along and offered to help. Within five minutes they had the new tire on the car. They would not take any
money, so all we can do is let them know how much we appreciated them and the dad who obviously has been a great teacher to the boys. Their names were Mike Sullivan and Clayton Stobbart. Your whole community should be very proud of these citizens. Thank you so much.

“BC Hydro rates have been climbing steadily, but the cumulative impact is a killer. Between 2008 and 2018, if the current forecasts hold, industrial rates will have increased by 80 per cent.” (http://w w w.theglob eandmail. com/news/british-columbia/ with-an-lng-decision-delayedbcs-attention-turns-to-forestry/ article23012786). But (Forest Minister Steve) Thomson is promising no relief on electricity costs – his government has suppressed BC Hydro rates, and
interest on the debts. There will likely be riots, as there were in Greece. Greece still has a 173 per cent debt to GDP after four years of austerity; it’s too late for them to get out their own mess. My TFSA will suffer a bit when they default.

For the first time, groundwater users throughout B.C. will be regulated. This includes industrial, agricultural and other non-domestic users who will now pay fees and rentals, require a licence and have to report their water usage. They will also have the same access rights and responsibilities as individuals who obtain their water from surface sources. Household wells, however, will not be licensed or charged. The new water rates are based on sound principles, and attempt to strike a fair balance between appropriately pricing our water resource and supporting economic development. Water is vital for life and the new Water Sustainability Act is essential in protecting our environment for future generations. Mary Polak is the B.C. environment minister.

the province Trail ride business receives SPCA order SMITHERS - The BC SPCA last week told Double D-Lux Trail Riding and Petting Zoo owner Darlene Helkenberg she had 30 days to improve the condition of her horses. An SPCA officer last week attended Helkenberg’s property on Highway 16 between Smithers and Hazelton to investigate claims of neglect regarding underweight horses. A social media post with photographs of the horses was circulating last week online and the SPCA has confirmed it opened a case file prompted by a complaint. No animals have been seized from the property but Helkenberg told The Interior News last week a veterinarian had come to examine the horses for the SPCA. She said she was subsequently given 30 days to improve their condition, partly by increasing their feed. BC SPCA northern region senior animal protection officer Debbie Goodine would not discuss specifics of the case.
Kelowna to host Japanese sister city's mayor Kelowna - Futoshi Ito, the mayor of Kasugai, Japan and the delegation, which includes representatives from Kasugai’s city council, its chamber of commerce, sister city association, Chubu University and the Citizens’ Activity Support Centre, will meet with several local groups here and tour a number of facilities. The visit will also includes cultural gatherings with members of the local Kelowna Kasugai Sister City Association, familiarization with Kelowna’s Cultural District and newly revitalized Bernard Avenue, a stop at the Farmers’ Market and some wine touring. Kelowna and Kasugai have been sister cities since 1981, fostering a number of cultural exchanges and business ventures over the past 34 years. The friendship between Kelowna and Kasugai is reflected in the beauty of Kasugai Gardens, a tranquil Japanese-inspired park located just east of City Hall.

Yes. They should not be taking up all that farm property.
If it is in farmland, it should not be replanted for carbon credits. If it is abandoned land, that is different.
I have got nothing against planting trees, but they should remain as a Canadian resource for our own future jobs.
If anybody is going to be planting trees, it should be Canadians. We need Canadians at work, and we also need our farmland, or we will run out of it.

Cabin vandalism On June 6, RCMP received a report of a broken window to a seasonal property on Canim Place. It is not known when this occurred; however, there was a similar issue reported to another residence in the same area the previous week. Golf clubs stolen On June 5, RCMP

Driving prohibition At 10:30 p.m. on June 5, RCMP members were conducting a roadside check on Horse Lake Road. A vehicle was stopped and the driver, a 53-year-old 100 Mile House area man, exhibited symptoms of
Conditions breach On June 4, RCMP arrested a 44-year-old 100 Mile House man for breaching a number of court-imposed conditions regarding reporting conditions and contact with victims relating to a charge of break-and-enter.
The man was subsequently detained in custody and will make a court appearance in Williams Lake this week. Money stolen On June 3, a breakand-enter was reported to the office at the 108 Golf Resort, as a small sum of money was taken. It was believed to have occurred between 10 p.m. the night previous and 6:45 a.m. on June 3.
RCMP stopped a vehicle on First Street after receiving a complaint that the driver was possibly impaired. The driver, a 41-yearold 100 Mile House area woman, exhibited symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol. A breath test was administered using an approved screening device and the result was a warn. The woman was issued a three-day IRP and her vehicle was impounded as a result.
Drinking driver Around 10:20 p.m. on June 3, 100 Mile House
Roadside checks 100 Mile House RCMP conducted a
number of roadside checks in Canim Lake, Horse Lake and 108 Mile Ranch during the past week. Two IRPs were served as a result of alcohol consumption, two drug seizures were made, and a number of warnings and violation tickets were issued for Motor Vehicle Act violations. Overall, given the total number of vehicles checked, the compliance was very good. RCMP members will continue to conduct roadside checks throughout the summer.
Spruce budworm spraying planned for Cariboo region The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat about 16,000 hectares of forest in the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area and the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Area to reduce western spruce budworm populations.
The biological agent Foray 48B is slated to be applied by two fixedwing aircraft (AT-802 Air Tractors) on or around June 13 to July 3, weather permitting, on sites near: • Meldrum Creek and Buckskin Lake (west of Williams Lake) • 114 Mile House
• 70 Mile House • Lac la Hache • Loon Creek (east of Clinton) The western spruce budworm is an insect that is native to British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas-fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees.
Equipment needed for wildfire season With wildfire season underway, the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) needs heavy equipment contractors to help with fighting fires in 2015. “We need bulldozers, excavators, low-bed trailers, water tenders, feller bunchers, skidders and forwarders for the 2015 fire season,” says Emily Epp, com-
munications specialist with the BC Wildfire Management Branch. So far, the CFC hasn’t received as many applications from interested equipment owners as it normally does, Epp says, adding heavy equipment operators supplement the efforts of the regular fire crews by felling trees on to

Class of 2015 celebrated in style
Ken Alexander Free Press
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School’s (PSO) Class of 2015 had a great celebration, as the grads officially celebrated the end of their formal education in style. The two-day event began on May 29 with the Graduation Ceremonies in the arena at the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile House. The facility was nicely decorated by the Dry Grad Committee and there was a buzz of excitement as the grads – in caps and gowns – marched into the arena. When they were seated, the PSO Concert Band played O Canada. Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie welcomed everyone to band’s traditional territory, and other dignitaries greeted the grads and the audience. Graduate Jordan Shields sang Friends, and then the diplomas
were presented to the grads. This ye ar’s Valedictorian Address was given by Robert Parma and Jennifer Sprecher. The Governor General’s Medal wasn’t presented because five grads – Alisha Beyer, Bryce Cumiskey, Brent Ehlers, Cassidy Mellott and Jennifer Sprecher – are very close academically and the selection will be made after the final exams are done. Party day (May 30) kicked off around 1:30 p.m. with a photo session at Centennial Park, and then there was the second annual grad procession, during which the grads drove along Birch Avenue, waived to the folks lining the streets and made their way to the arena. Dressed in their finery, the grads and their dates walked the promenade for family and friends, before the slide show and the Grad Dance. After dinner, the
grads enjoyed their Dry Grad in the arena. Priscillia Remanente, who chaired the hardworking Dry Grad Committee, says the day was a great success. “All went well. The volunteers were great and the kids were amazing.” See page A26 for Scholarship Tea story.

About 30 people attended the Polish/ Ukrainian potluck dinner on May 24 and enjoyed an excellent meal. The Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association (LBHLCA) is fundraising for new chairs for the community hall. With donations from the pot luck dinner and the last two flea markets and bake sales, they have currently raised $1,000. The LBHLCA thanks everyone for their generous donations so far. The cost of the new chairs is $6,000. Chairs can be purchased for $45 a piece and your name will go on a plague on the wall at the hall. Historical Association Ken and

Schmidt hosted an appreciation dinner for Gary and Verna Desjardine on behalf of the Lone Butte Historical Association (LBHA) on May 31. For the past five years, Verna and Gary have been dedicated volunteers, and have donated too much time, work and material to mention
in this article. Verna has been the LBHA treasurer for the past two years. The LBHA is very grateful, in addition to everything else they have done; they both pounded the remaining fence posts in at the Alice Singleton Heritage House. Verna and Gary have sold their ranch

Dear Canimites Summer settles in comfortably at Canim. As I write, a gentle rain is falling, encouraging an explosion of colour and beauty in wildflowers and gardens alike. Plant and bake sale People gathered at the Canim Lake Store on a beautiful Cariboo day for the annual Community Club Plant and Bake Sale on May 30. There were four tables
laden with baking and a large assortment of potted plants and hanging baskets. Leona Hurrell had baby sweaters available in beautiful colours and designs. Another hit were the bottle wind-chimes each uniquely decorated by Louise Kerr’s painting class, both artistic and useful. Paddy and Jane Brown from Hawkins Lake were there with special kitchen supplies and spices. Last but not least, the beef-on-a-bun was a terrific hit and sold out entirely. Club president Margo Wagner reported the group cleared close to $1,000 on the day. The club wishes to extend its thanks to Grace Buse who baked all the buns and provided the store’s parking
lot for the event. Crib results The dust has finally
settled in Margo’s Cabin and the Crib Wars are over for the season. Continued on A18

Dangerous Driving – Causing Death
Show me a person who hasn’t driven dangerously and I’ll show you a liar. Keep in mind, however, that dangerous driving causing death is a criminal offence and is punishable by up to 14 years in prison. When does driving dangerously and thereby causing a death become a criminal offence? It’s a safe bet that a gentleman named Randy Roy knows the difference. [R. v. Roy (2012) SCC 26] In November, 2004, Mr. Roy was returning home from work in his motor home. It was foggy and the road was covered in snow. He pulled onto the highway when it was not safe to do so. He collided with a tractor-trailer and his passenger was killed. Mr. Roy was charged with the criminal offence of driving dangerously causing death. At his trial, he was found guilty. He appealed to the BC Court of Appeal which upheld his conviction. He then appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada which overturned his conviction. A criminal offence occurs when a person commits a criminal act and is proven to have done so with criminal intent. Commission of the act and criminal intent must both be proven. When one applies these ideas to the offence of dangerous driving causing death, the wrongful act is to operate a motor vehicle in a dangerous manner causing death. That wrongful act becomes a criminal offence when the accused’s conduct demonstrates a “marked departure from the standard of care that a reasonable person would have exhibited in the circumstances.” In other words, one does not commit a criminal offence through the mere carelessness of a momentary lack of attention. There must be awareness of the risk and a deliberate decision to take the risk. In considering the facts of the Roy case, one should not overlook the concept of civil liability. In spite of the fact that Mr. Roy did not commit a criminal act, it is entirely possible that the estate of his deceased passenger could recover damages from him for his negligence.

Cariboo-inspired artwork on display
Carol O’Grady-Miclash featured at Showcase Gaven Crites Free Press
Carol O’GradyMiclash smiles and holds up a framed, green outdoor picture of Moose Point Drive at Watch Lake, one of the many lush, inviting scenes of the Cariboo she’s captured with a paint brush in recent years. The Green Lake resident is the featured artist this month at Showcase Gallery in 100 Mile House, located on the main floor of the South Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave. Her work will be on display until the end of June. O’Gr a dy - Mi cl a s h , whose love of the visual arts goes back to her childhood, started
painting in 1995 after many years of “wishful thinking.” She says the famed Group of Seven, renowned Canadian landscape painters from the 1920-1930s, are a major source of inspiration. “They were awesome. The trees, the wilderness, that’s what they painted. They didn’t do naked ladies and stuff like that, or chairs and tables. They did beautiful, outstanding landscapes.” While mostly in a familiar setting, she does capture a variety of subject matter in her own work, because, after all, “you can’t do the same thing over and over.” She has been a mem-

ber of the Cariboo Artists’ Guild for several years and has participated in the local group’s annual Art Show in 100 Mile House. She’s sold paintings in British Columbia, Ontario, California and Mexico. Along with her husband, Laurie, she likes to winter in California and Mexico. But, originally being from northern Ontario, northern climates like the Cariboo’s, where the couple have been residing since the early 1990s, are where she and her husband feel most comfortable. “It makes my husband happy. He can go fishing and do stuff like that.” And she can paint. “That’s where I get my inspiration.”

Grads receive scholarships, bursaries 100 Mile House and area communities generous with support for Class of 2015 Ken Alexander Free Press
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) gymnasium was filled with proud parents and students for the 2015 Scholarship Tea on June 3. Of the 93 graduates in the PSO Class of 2015, 28 students took home more than $60,000 worth of scholarships and bursaries. As presenters talked about the companies, non-profit groups and the people who were being remembered, the faces and details of their lives (memorials), criteria the recipient needed to meet and the amount of the cheques were projected on a screen. The information made each presentation more meaningful for the grad students, the presenters and the parents. Students Heather Heales, Reid Collinson, Kelly Lawrence and Bryton Armishaw were thanked for setting up the tables and escorting people to their seats. The fact that presenters and recipients sit together at the tables allowed them to get to know each other a little bit better. Melody MacIntosh and the S.P.A.R.C.S. (JR Alternate) students provided homemade baked goodies. Claudia Morgenthaler and her agriculture students provided flowers for each of the tables. The winning grads were as follows: Tristianna Allwood: Western Communities FoundationExceptional Achievement; Sophie Zelt Memorial Bursary; Jonathan Hood Memorial; and Greg Herzog Memorial Shayla Bachmeier: Cariboo Chilcotin Teacher Association; Physicians Of 100 Mile House In Memory Of Dr. Eric Bock; and Watch/Green Lake Community Association Devin Barrick: 108 Mile Ranch Lions Club Sarah Batalha: Hospital Employees Union; and United Steelworkers Local 1-425 Maddy Bertrand: Dogwood District Award; and Florence Redpath/Rita Larson Memorial Hailey Blattler: BC Government Retired Employees, Branch #1700; Dogwood District Award; IKON Canada; and Right Photography

ONE PERCENT REALTY
100 Mile House and Surrounding Area
A
multitude of memories spanning many years are gathering in the minds and conversations of folks in the community who will remember Chris Horn as a neighbour and a friend. This pioneer, longtime rancher, husband and father passed away peacefully on May 25, 2015 in 100 Mile House. Survived by his wife, Helen, and his son, Gus, and many extended family members, his mark is indelibly etched across the ranching community, denoting a unique and stalwart man whom many are proud to have known. Christian Horn was born in Ashcroft on June 19, 1922 to Anna (Nath) and Hartwig Horn, and carried by stage to 70 Mile House and then by horseback in his father’s arms to Lone Butte. The youngest of four boys, he first dug his hands and boots into the soil working for his Uncle Gus (August) Horn nearby, on land he later acquired and ranched himself. While working at various jobs for Jack Skaday and Ed Higgins, Chris managed to buy his dream ranch at Horse Lake in 1947. He began clearing it for agriculture while he raised cattle at "Gus Meadow" and courted Helen Granberg. In those days, Chris rode a horse everywhere he went, including many jaunts to the Granberg home on Holland Road (now Highway 24), and in rodeos at the Flying U Ranch and other local "stampedes." He married Helen in 1948 on his 26th birthday (she was 24), and they spent virtually every day together for almost 67 years of marriage.

Chris Horn, left, and Shorty Horn posed with their older brother Arthur Horn’s horse, Pearl, in the 1940s.
Their son, Gus, was born in 1958. The family moved to the Horse Lake ranch in 1964, and after Gus graduated high school, he stayed on to help run it. Their life was full of love and laughter, friends and family, hay and horses, cows and calves, dogs and diesel. Chris got his pilot's licence and loved to fly his 1960 Champion Challenger, often taking along anyone he met who was interested. On wheels and in skies, he delighted in the sheer joy of accessing fields and lakes around the country. However, tough times also turned up like a bad penny now and then. As newlyweds with only meadow hayfields near Lone Butte, it was too wet to harvest in 1948 and they were forced to sell the cattle. (Helen notes no one had baled hay or grain for sale back then.) Chris took the matter firmly in hand, secured a small sawmill and
carved out a living in forestry for a few years. Helen says there were a couple of really terrible times, too. In mid-1976, Chris experienced a devastating injury when an irrigation pipe he was clearing out contacted power lines, knocking him unconscious for hours. Helen says it was a miracle he survived. Chris spent about eight weeks in the Vancouver Hospital burn ward, and had deep scars from a pocket knife and all the metal buttons on his shirt and cap, she explains. Then, another very tough time followed when Brucellosis disease wiped out their entire herd in late 1977. In 1990, Chris enjoyed a threeday, organized cattle drive to Kamloops with Ralph Bick. His saddle was stolen on the trip, but he turned that event into fodder for many debates on where it went. Chris also travelled with his close kin to the island of Fehmarn in Germany, where the Horn and
Nath families hailed from. His other significant trips included visiting Machu Picchu, the world's largest stockyards in Buenos Aires, and other South American landmarks, as well as an excursion to New Zealand. When he ran a land-clearing business for a few years, Chris commuted around a bit and improved "quite a lot of acres" of agriculture land from Clinton to Horsefly and Soda Creek, she notes. However, day in and day out over the decades, the couple could usually be found somewhere on the ranch. "I think both of us were pretty low-key," Helen says, adding they were happy with the typically private, if busy, ranch lifestyle. In a May 11, 2011 Free PressCariboo Calling article, Chris states, "We love this ranch and we love ranching – always have."

Free literacy assistance available
By Anita Price
After many years of renting rooms and holding meetings in the park, the English as a Second Language (ESL) adult literacy program has a permanent location. Regular ESL programming is held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) meeting room in the basement of 475 Birch Ave. Entry to the room is through the ground level glass doors at the rear of the building – very north end. Follow the painted books to the bottom of the stairs and the entrance to the room. For more than eight years, the program has been providing assistance to adults whose first language is not English. Called conversation circles, participants are invited to join in discussion groups, listen to presentations on current subjects and become more familiar with their community, while improving their English lan-
guage skills. Each month participants choose a book to read and then discuss it in a book-club format. Fun events include a monthly pizza and movie night, as well as potluck luncheons and outdoor cooking classes. The CCPL is the parent organization for the many groups meeting in the newly appointed room. Along with the ESL programs, there are several programs to assist those wishing to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. Assistance is also available for completing forms or navigating the challenges of applying for visa and permanent resident renewals, as well as Canadian Citizenship. All programs and assistance are provided free of charge. For more information on any of the programs, please contact CCPL at www.caribooliteracy.com or Mel at 250-945-4199. Anita Price is the local ESL co-ordinator.

SGLVFD garage and bake sale supported by residents South Green Lake The South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGLVFD) Garage/Bake Sale on May 16 was a huge success. The 400 assorted fruit pies and other goodies, made by the Ladies Auxiliary (L.A.), were all sold by 11:30 a.m. There was a great turnout of local and seasonal residents and the bargains were walking out the door. Marie Kuyek and the firefighters sold out of hotdogs by noon. The L.A. raffled off a beautiful hexagon picnic table along with three unique raffle baskets, prepared by Jenny Gehl, and two handcrafted dolls made by Diane Sullivan. The L.A. anticipates clearing at least $5,000 profit this year. The money raised from this sale will enhance the operating budget of the Fred Potter Memorial Fire Hall. The SGLVFD also had a demonstration on the effectiveness of “ground and roof-top sprinklers” in case of a

And my RV was break, so I settled into my a little worn.With my recent latest RV and got on my way. travels, the odometer readI headed up a quiet road and ing might be a deal breaker
for some. But, as you probably already know, I’m an experienced curber. I knew just the solution. I still had my odometer tool, so I rolled it back to hide some kilometers. Gave it a good scrub down, switched up the tires to match the miles – the usual. And of course, I left no
traces of what I’d done. A few days passed. Still no calls. That’s odd, I thought. This never happens. My schemes never fail me! I was growing restless. Tourists came and went. And my RV remained “For Sale.” Why wasn’t I striking gold? But I was in luck. In the campground, I chatted with
a family having serious engine troubles with their RV. Looked like their vacation might be derailed without some help. Lucky for me, a licensed RV dealer was some miles away and they trusted me. That’s my goal. Seem like the neighbor down the street. The RV was safe, as far as
I knew, and their vacation was saved. But I sold it for way over its value. I loaded my things onto the motorbike I had strapped to the bumper and headed home. Walt has officially conquered the Cariboo. Boy, I really do get around! Watch for me! I could be in your town next.
WATCH OUT FOR WALT!
Walt won’t disclose his sources…
Licensed Dealers Beat Curbers by a Mile Are you deciding between buying from a private seller or a licensed dealer? Private sales often have one perceived benefit – lower price. But, even that can disappear when you look at the risks you’re taking on. Particularly if the private seller you buy from turns out to be a curber – really an unlicensed dealer intentionally breaking all the rules. And, many folks don’t know there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a dealer. Unlike private sellers, licensed dealers must be transparent in their selling practices. This means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner, while standing behind any representations made about the vehicle. Dealers can’t withhold information that would cause you to make an error in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle. This includes strict selling standards. Dealers must hire licensed salespeople who have passed a background check and a certification course on motor
vehicle sales law. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed prior to purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet safety requirements and are free of unpaid liens. As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a customer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims from around the province. Dealers also offer extra services and savings such as financing and warranty options. Finally, licensed dealers make an investment in their staff, operations, reputation and their community. Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the 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

Ask an Expert:
What are some ways to treat driveway stains?
A driveway is one of the first things guests see when visiting a home. Taking up a good portion of the front acreage of the home, a driveway can add visual appeal to the property. But when driveways are stained, cracked or pitted, they become eyesores that can rob a home of its curb appeal. Concrete driveways are notorious for absorbing stains. Anything from automotive fluids to fallen leaves can affect the appearance of a concrete driveway. And while cleaning the driveway can take a little effort, the end result is well worth the effort. Asphalt driveways may not show stains as visibly as concrete driveways, but that does not mean they cannot benefit from some TLC. The following cleaning methods can give a tired or dirty driveway a good-as-new look.

Pressure washing Pressure washing machines can be used to remove ground-in stains from driveways. The power of the streaming water and a combination of mild cleanser may be able to remove a number of stains, including those from leaves, mold, spills, dirt, fungus, and bird droppings. Proceed with caution when using pressure washers, as they can be powerful tools. If the nozzle is set incorrectly, it is quite easy to pit out portions of the driveway or create a streaky look. Widen the spray and pass over each area several times to remove ground-in stains. Pressure washers may come equipped with various attachments to make the process easier and eliminate stripping. Non-chemical cleansers Cleaning driveway stains may only require a few items you already have around the house. Sometimes stains can be minimized simply by absorbing spills or residual oils and fluids. Sawdust, cat litter and baking soda are ideal, absorbant materials. Sprinkle these substances on oily stains in the driveway and allow them to sit for a few days before sweeping away the residue. After a few days, the oily stain will most likely be minimized. Laundry detergent and dish soap also can break through some greasy stains. Try making a solution of water and the detergent of choice. Use a stiff-bristle broom to work the cleanser into the stained driveway, then rinse away the suds with a hose. Commercial products Auto supply and paint stores typically sell driveway cleaners. Always read the manufacturers’ instructions and guidelines prior to purchase to determine if the product will work to remove your driveway stains. Some products may be too harsh to use on asphalt, which is more malleable and porous than concrete and paver driveways. Only use products that are recommended for your particular driveway surface. If you don’t, you may cause even more damage.

judges and volunteers who offered their time to come out and support us. Also a thank-you goes out to Ian Breenan for the informative sheep showmanship clinic following the judging rally. On April 29, all the sheep project members made their final pick on their lambs for the year. It was fun to watch them all make their picks and each one of the lambs get weighed before heading to their new homes. All the lambs were pretty cute.

Community groups could get $5,000 Up to $5,000 in funding available to help community events. Applications are still being accepted from Cariboo-Chilcotin region. The provincial government is providing onetime funding to eligible non-profit organizations for small community events that strengthen volunteer capacity for event-hosting throughout the province. EventHostBC will provide a total of $250,000, divided among the six provincial tourism regions, to encourage events that are currently ineligible for other provincial government funding. Eligible non-profit organizations may apply for up to $5,000 per event. As long as the broader community can participate, the type of event is fairly open – it could be sports, arts or culture related, or some other creative idea supported by the community. Applications will only be accepted until June 30, 2015. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so community organizations that might benefit from this funding need to get working on the application right away. Visit http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/arts_culture/ eventhostbc.htm for more information. Folks who have questions, can e-mail eventhostbc@gov.bc.ca.
