Doug Stecyk was one of the volunteers preparing the main course at the 4th Annual Rotary Club of 100 Mile House Lobsterfest Fundraiser Dinner Auction, which saw a good turnout with close to 130 people in attendance at the 100 Mile House Community Hall on June 13.

Seniors housing a concern

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says there are “certainly a lot of issues with seniors” in a recent report by British Columbia seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie.

“We all know that seniors housing, affordability, accessibility, availability is an issue in many communities, and I share her concerns.”

She adds Mackenzie has done “a lot of work” around the province and in reporting and formulating 18 recommendations on what she has heard, which is why the independent office was established a year ago.

“She is a great advocate. She

is doing a great job and she has identified the issues.

“We can’t find solutions to everything at once, but if we nip away at it piece by piece, anything we can do to help will be a benefit.”

The B.C. Liberal government has committed to implementing the majority of recommendations that pertain to the health ministry, but states in a press release that other recommendations have “wide-reaching implications” and it will need further analysis before government can commit to an approach.

“I know we are working on

solutions and it is not always that easy to find all [of those],” says Barnett. “At the end of the day ... if we don’t have new industry, there are no new dollars.”

The MLA notes she has talked to two individual elderly constituents within the last month who were unaware they might qualify for financial help.

“Many seniors are in the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters [SAFER subsidy program], but I don’t think a lot of people know that is available.”

Barnett notes that while she believes it is beyond municipal Continued on A4

The future of the local water park proposal may have reached a pivotal point.

The South Cariboo Joint Committee (SCJC) meets June 22 to discuss funding a utility lift station for the proposal that could see the water park built as early as next spring.

At SCJC’s meeting on May 4, it was resolved that Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and District of 100 Mile House staff tour the potential sites at Centennial Park and the South Cariboo Rec. Centre (SCRC) with the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society.

However, society president Jamie Hughes says when its members went and discussed the potential layout at the SCRC with staff, they discovered a significant stumbling block.

“It is just too costly.

It would probably be double or triple the cost to do it at the arena than it would at the park.

“There is landscaping, there would actually have to be two lift stations instead of one because of the distance the water park would have to go farther away, due to the [100 Mile & District Outriders Club] leasing the spot that we wanted.”

Now, the current joint committee members will decide where the project will go from here.

CRD chair Al Richmond, who cochairs SCJC (with

Mayor Mitch Campsall), says he has not seen the costs associated with the arena site.

“From what I understand, it would be more expensive. But it’s coming back to the committee to make a decision.”

JAMIE HUGHES

While its decisions still go to the CRD board (and possibly District council) before approval, he notes with directors and councillors sitting on the joint committee, it does carry a lot of weight.

“I don’t recall the board ever not going along with [SCJC recommendations].”

Richmond says if they decide to fund the lift station, it would likely be more appropriate to be taken out of the CRD’s South Cariboo Recreation function, rather than through any grants.

“Since they operate the park, the District has said they will fund the operations of it.”

However, this meeting is not looking at that level yet, but rather considering the costs at both sites, what might work to move forward on the project, and from where the funding should be taken, he notes.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL School District #27 has appointed a new principal to Horse Lake Elementary School.

Mikel Brogan was transferred to this new role from his former post as principal of Anahim Lake Elementary/Junior Secondary School on June 1. Since joining SD27 in 2011, he has also taught at three other schools in Williams Lake and Alexis Creek.

‘Fighting a battle that needs to be fought’ Shuswap scholar Julian NoiseCat wins prestigious Oxford scholarship Gaven Crites Free Press

E

d Archie NoiseCat grew up on the Canim Lake reserve in the early 1960s, in a cold place with no running water and no electricity, plywood floors and ice-crusted windows.

His is a sad and not uncommon example of the Aboriginal experience – something his son, Julian NoiseCat, despite being raised in a different time and in a different place, knows much about.

In fact, the 22-yearold history scholar likely knows and understands as well as anyone the present day implications of North America's long and dark colonial past, and about his Shuswap ancestry, whose traditional territory includes large sections of British Columbia’s vast central and southern Interior, including the Canim Lake Band near 100 Mile House.

Julian is a recent graduate from Columbia University in New York City and earned a prestigious scholarship to pursue a Master of Studies in

Julian NoiseCat

Global and Imperial History at the University of Oxford in England. He wrote his undergraduate thesis exploring Shuswap culture.

It’s hard to overstate his intellect and his commitment to the resurrection and preservation of First Nations history and culture.

“Since his high school studies, he’s very quickly become a historian on a level that I would call him the authority on our family history in the Cariboo,” says Ed, a professional artist who now resides in Washington.

“[Julian] knows more about where our family came from and what our ancestors did to secure our land than anybody else.”

Julian, who was raised in Oakland, California, has also become fluent in the traditional Secwepemc language, of which only a handful of speakers remain on the Canim Lake reserve.

Joining Julian and Ed in New York for his recent graduation in May was Julian’s aunt, Angela PetersOddy, a First Nations counsellor at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School in 100 Mile House.

She believes her nephew is engaged in very important work. He’s retracing the past, providing context for the present, and looking toward the future.

“He’s pretty much the role model you would want to have for your kids. He’s done a lot of work on himself.

“He’s dancing at powwows, he’s speaking out. He’s not just saying ‘this is the past’, he’s saying ‘this is how it affects us today’.”

Julian’s thesis is titled “Re Séme7 Westes tek Boston: Shuswap Memory, Museums

and Nationalism, 1958-1986.”

Part of his research included interviewing Shuswap elders in the Canim Lake area. For Julian, the experience was like “visiting home.”

“I think it’s important there’s a thesis on the history of the Shuswap people and their culture and politics at a history department in the Ivy League.

Angela Peters-Oddy

“It’s never happened before. There’s not enough knowledge and understanding about us and our people.”

Asked about his love of

history and how he got started in this area of study, Julian mentions his grandmother, Antoinette Archie, and his aunt, Elsie Archie, who he acknowledges in his thesis for teaching and keeping their traditional language alive. “I carry their love with me in all that I do,” Julian writes.

“I think their fortitude and their love for the language and culture and their family, and all the effort they put in, fighting a battle that needs to be fought, and is going to be a very difficult one ultimately to win – that’s very inspiring.”

Ed describes his son as incredibly compassionate, respectful, thoughtful and intelligent – the kind of person to “do what needs to be done to save what’s left of our culture and language.”

Julian says he’s excited about the next Oxford-bound step in his very remarkable academic journey. As for the future, he says he hopes to eventually be in a position where he can give back to his family, his people, and to others as well.

“I think that will be the true measure of my success.”

The CRD will submit an application for $26,250 from the new BC Air Access Program. This funding covers 75 per cent of the cost of approved Small Rehabilitation Projects that are “shovel ready” for completion this year.

The application is for the purchase of an emergency generator for an alternate power source at the South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Mile Ranch).

FRENCH GRADS Former French Immersion students in SD27 who have since graduated and moved on with their lives are being asked to participate in the Where Are They Now Project.

Hosted by Canadian Parents for French, the search is on to find these graduates and ask them Where Are They Now? Anyone who is in contact with past graduates is asked to pass on this request.

government’s capacity to deal with low-income housing aside from perhaps providing land, investment groups are sometimes interested in building co-op and strata housing where communities show the interest and need.

When the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House donated the property for Creekside Seniors Activity Centre 20 years ago, she says about three acres of extra land associated with it was envisioned for potential seniors housing.

A senior herself, Barnett adds she has first-hand knowledge of some of the issues they face.

“Most of them want to stay in their homes as long as possible – me, for one.

“I think we all have to take a look at it and help resolve the issues.”

landscaping, for grass around it – there’s more than just physical piping and pumps.”

Hughes notes when she was asked by the staff what the biggest problem with the park location is, she replied it is accessibility due to the gravel driveway and parking lot, but if that were paved, the society does have the means to build it. “...we have already got people coming for-

ward offering to help with the installation; we have enough money now. We have $65,000 in the bank, that’s enough now to pay for the components for the spray park.”

The society has scaled down the water park project because the initial design was “massive,” she notes.

“My hopes are that the joint committee realizes the need for this water park in

addition to [other] outdoor recreation for families.”

If the local governments will pay for the lift station, Hughes says the society has also asked that they install it this fall so the project can be completed in the spring.

“When we actually see the lift station go up, that is step 1, and then we can take care of step 2, and then it’s done.”

Flight 21 memorial marks 50 years Carole Rooney Free Press

July 8 marks the 50th anniversary of the tragic plane crash of Canadian Pacific Flight 21 in 1965.

A memorial will be held at the stone cairn by the South Cariboo Visitor Centre to recognize the 52 people who lost their lives a halfcentury ago near Dog Creek.

The memorial is being organized by Didi Henderson, who lost her father, Wallace Emo, in the crash.

While the incident may be a historical footnote to some, Henderson says it is still current history to the victims’ families.

“We will be having a small gathering at the cairn in 100 Mile House on July 8 at 1 p.m.”

Family and friends of people who were killed will be coming from across North America and also overseas to commemorate, and Henderson hopes to encourage more.

“We would really love to get the word out to more local people who volunteered after the crash. If they can contact me and let us know they will attend, it would be great.”

A new plaque will be unveiled at the cairn that expresses gratitude to the people who went out to search the large crash site in 1965, and whose lives were

undoubtedly affected by lost a loved one in the it, she explains. crash [is] it’s It is an opporstill raw for tunity for friends them because of people who they haven’t perished in had the the crash, and opportunity family members to get close who have never to the story.

Ruth Peterson had the idea for the stone memorial cairn and was instrumental in getting it built two years ago, she adds.

Peterson says installing the new plaque was a matter of funding.

“It was always my intention to have the plaque done before the 50th anniversary in July.”

In order to have the plaque ready and to

hold the memorial, local volunteers are left with a deficit in funding, she notes.

Any donations are appreciated and can be dropped off at the District of 100 Mile House Office at 385 Birch Ave., which will issue tax receipts.

More information on the crash, cairn and family stories is on Facebook under C.P. Air Flight 21.

Valedictorians went through school together

Ken Alexander Free Press

One of the highlights of the Graduation Ceremonies at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) is the Valedictorian Address.

PSO has adopted the format of having covaledictorians – one girl and one boy – and it has worked well over the years.

The Class of 2015 valedictorians were Jennifer Sprecher and Robert Parma.

The valedictorians, who went to the same schools since kindergarten, were both surprised about being selected for the prestigious opportunity.

Robert says it was a little weird that he and Jennifer knew each other so long and then “just to be picked like that, first by the teacher

and then our peers, was a little crazy.

“I wasn’t expecting it.

I think Jennifer had the material, but not me.”

Jennifer says she was excited when she learned she had been selected for the top 3 in the running to become

a valedictorian.

“It was really exciting.

I was hoping for it and a lot of my friends said they would vote for me.”

Robert and Jennifer say they decided to forego the sentimentality and the offering of advice to their fellow graduates during their Valedictorian Address.

“We wanted it to be realistic and do something funny from our hearts. We did some things on teachers ... and then we selected jobs for the grads,” Jennifer explains.

Robert says they spent a lot of time – two weeks of jotting points down on paper – putting their address together. He adds they would work on the speech separately and then collaborate and make changes.

Both say they were nervous as they

approached the podium, but they got settled in as they read their lines.

Jennifer says the highlight from the address for her was when Robert took the microphone out of the stand and lowered it for her because she had to stand on her tip toes to speak into it.

Robert says he thought his best line was a poke at school counsellor Crystal Dawn Langton who has a large selection of highheeled shoes: “Thank you to Mrs. Langton for your wide array of high-heeled shoes, so we would always hear

you walking down the hall 10 minutes before you showed up.”

South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Gathering

CSG offers help

The Caregivers Support Group (CSG) in 100 Mile House is a free informal group for caregivers who meet on the second and fourth Thursday every month in the basement of St. Timothy’s Anglican Church at the corner of Horse Lake and Blackstock roads.

The CSG is available to address the concerns of people caring for a family member or friend with long-term illness or disability, says group spokesperson Jan Baker.

“It is a very casual group that gets together around a table to chat over a cup of coffee or tea and munchies.

“Some problems are solved, some are not, but often just talking with others helps to

view problems from a different aspect or helps someone who doesn’t have answers to the numerous concerns that caregivers have.”

The CSG also tries to resolve issues over finances, housing, medical help, as well as offer emotional support, Baker adds.

She notes that Judy Simkins, of LifeCycle Financial, will attend the June 25 meeting to answer questions and give advice regarding financial concerns of people with disabilities and their caregivers.

She will discuss possible ways to increase available family income through government programs and private arrangements.

Anyone interested in these subjects is

welcome to attend the meeting at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Group walks for water park

A handful of local staff from Western Financial Group (WFG) and primary students at 100 Mile House Elementary School walked around town for awareness and did local fundraising on May 27.

Bedecked in bright red tunics and shirts and carrying placards stating Hey team, let’s talk Support the Cause, the group of about three dozen young students and several WFG staff made quite a spectacle – and quite a trek.

They traversed Birch Avenue from First to Fifth streets, over to the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre and Centennial Park water falls, and back to the school via Fourth Street and Birch.

Lori Cleave from Western Financial Group (WFG) led primary students at 100 Mile House Elementary School in a recent Support the Cause walk for awareness and local fundraising. The 100 Mile House Waterpark Society is slated to be this year’s recipient.

Western Community Foundation is all about fundraising, healthy living and giving back to the community.

This program boosts funds raised at local branches that apply suc-

“Any money we raise goes back into the community of 100 Mile House – whatever we raise, they match.

“We have given out four $500 bursaries

now ... this year, I am giving one out to Tristi Allwood.”

Cleave notes the local WFG has also donated to the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association, the

National Pharmacare needed

anada should establish a national Pharmacare program to ensure all Canadians have access to the medications they need, though there is some worry about the cost of such a program.

This was the view given by panellists who appeared before a public Open Caucus hosted by the Senate Liberals.

Dr. Steven Morgan, a professor at the University of British Columbia stated Canada remains the only developed country with a universal health-care system that does not provide universal coverage for prescription drugs.

“Our Medicare system in essence ends when a doctor hands a patient a prescription to fill,” he noted.

“They may or may not then have coverage for those prescriptions, depending largely on where they live, what their age is, and who they work for.”

Dr. Danielle Martin, vice-

president of Medical Affairs Beltchetz noted that while and Health System Solutions he supports the idea of a at Women’s College Hospital Pharmacare program in in Toronto said one out of the future, cost overruns every 10 Canadians cannot will likely rise well above afford prescription drugs.

GUEST SHOT

he campaign for the federal election, scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015, is heating up, and with the House of Commons doors expected to close next week if not sooner, MPs will be heading home to start drumming up support in their ridings.

During the final days in this session of Parliament, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been introducing several pieces of legislation for the shameless purpose of grabbing more votes in the upcoming election.

These bills are basically about getting tough on crime and giving more power to government to provide security and protection of Canadians even if they step on the toes of our rights and freedoms.

Although the most recent bills will likely die on the table when the writ to start the official election campaign is dropped, this legislation will be popular with pro-Conservative voters.

The Tories are also counting on seniors – powerful block of voters because they actually go to the polls – to support them. Harper has been passing legislation to help them financially in the autumn years of their lives.

Harper is also reaching out to the younger generation by dangling increased child benefits and other goodies in hopes it encourages them to go to the polls and vote for Conservative candidates.

He knows it’s a long shot because young people tend not to mark their ballots, but if his party picks up a larger percentage of those who do vote, it might be enough to tip the scales.

Tory MPs have been handing out money – albeit small amounts over several years – to groups that have been neglected or offended by the Harper government since the last election.

The prime minister knows he has to pull out all the stops if his party is going to get re-elected.

However, the landscape for the impending federal election is quite different than it was when Canadians went to the polls in 2011.

Back then the Conservative Party was the front runner by a large margin six months before the election.

However, the NDP under the late Jack Layton pulled his party ahead of the Liberals to form the Official Opposition. After faltering a bit with Layton’s passing and the rise in Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s early popularity, the NDP is coming on strong under the leadership of Thomas Mulcair.

According to recent polls, the New Democrats are virtually neck-and-neck with the Conservatives and the Liberals are in a slumping third place.

Furthermore, the NDP is the only party that is surging ahead in the polls, while the others are falling behind.

This election could be determined how many people turn out to vote. If there is a significant increase at the polls and there is some block voting (First Nations and veterans) across the country, there may be a new party forming government.

“We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.”

to guide these and other stakeholders through the process.

Nor would a Pharmacare program be panacea in curing the ills facing Canada’s medical system.

Dr. Martin stated that much of what determines an individual’s health, more than 80 per cent, depends on factors, such as their income, education, housing, etc.

Dr. Martin noted, however, that Pharmacare is an important piece to the overall puzzle, and is something Canada should pursue.

“The bottom line for me,” she stated, “is that if the promise of Medicare is the provision of access to healthcare services based on need, rather than ability to pay, we are quite simply failing when it comes to prescription drugs, and there is no justifiable reason, economic or otherwise, to continue as we are.”

TB REACH needs to be funded

To the editor: Congratulations are in order for the British Columbia Interior Health Authority (IHA).

After seven long years, the Tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kelowna has ended.

It started in 2008 with one person with regular TB. Kelowna Dr Sue Pollock said, “They [TB outbreaks] typically last several years and require a tremendous amount of resources and community coordination to bring under control.”

Approximately 2,400 people were screened for infectious TB and 52 people were treated.

Upgrades to hospital isolation wards and updates to staff training and clinical support tools were needed.

Medical health officers and communicable disease workers worked closely with community outreach services, including street nurses, shelters and community agencies. It cost B.C. taxpayers millions – all from one case of regular TB. We are on the verge of a global epidemic.

The key is early detection and treatment for every single case everywhere.

Failure is unthinkable.

Canadian funded TB REACH is a phenomenally successful program for finding TB in the hardest to reach places in the world.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has not renewed the funding.

We simply can’t afford to let this program expire.

To stop tiny, Kelowna size outbreaks all

across Canada, we need to stop outbreaks everywhere.

Please help: Contact your MP, your federal election candidates, write letters to your newspapers, tell everyone that you want TB taken seriously, and to fund TB REACH. We still have a chance to prevent a global TB epidemic and prevent budget busting outbreaks all across Canada.

Tory lip service won't solve retirement income crisis To the editor: More and more Canadians are worried about their retirement, yet (Prime Minister) Stephen Harper is offering them little more than lip-service for the problem.

A new CIBC report shows millions of Canadians face a “steep decline in living standards” in retirement. Personal debt in Canada is at a record high.

Meanwhile, three-quarters of private sector workers don’t have a workplace pension plan. The average 35-year-old puts aside less than

half of what their parents did at the same age. On average, baby boomers’ retirement savings are short $400,000.

If we don’t find a solution to this problem now, Canadians will pay with higher costs later on.

Harper has eliminated Income Trusts, destroying about $25-billion in value from Canadians’ savings.

He broke his word by delaying Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement until the age of 67, taking over

$30,000 away from each vulnerable senior.

His only “solutions” have been a collection of tax breaks for wealthier households. None of these changes have helped ease the pending crisis for Canadians anxious about their future.

What we need is a modest, phased-in expansion of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

The CPP, along with the Quebec Pension Plan, is a defined-benefit pension plan that covers every Canadian worker, in every job,

Writer queries pot approval To the editor: Are Supreme Court Justices stepping over their judicial limitations?

Never before in the history of Canada has any Supreme Court Justice been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal authorization to market or distribute a medicine without a Notice of Compliance issued by Health Canada.

The recent approval by the Supreme Court of Canada for the marijuana drug sales without the approval of

Health Canada is a strange phenomenon indeed.

It strikes me more like a democratic dictatorship than anything else.

Is there anyone who holds these Justices accountable?

How? One can only wonder, just who runs the country – the government or the Supreme Court Justices?

in every province. Actuaries have declared it sound for 75 years – the furthest they will go for any plan.

But its benefits are too low. The average CPP monthly benefit is only about $640.

Harper has blocked every effort from the provinces to enhance the CPP. His infamous “firewall” letter even called on Alberta to withdraw from the pension plan entirely.

Now, on the eve of an election, he’s promising a study on changes to the CPP. But a study won’t protect Canadians in their golden years.

Canadians work hard. They deserve a pension plan they can depend on for a dignified retirement.

Liberals are committed to working with the provinces and territories to expand the CPP and lift the retirement savings of all Canadians.

A Liberal government will also restore the starting age for OAS and GIS to 65.

Mayor appreciates help To the editor: What a fabulous result you folks achieved on June 5 in 100 Mile House.

Those hard hit residents who have considerable losses that are unrecoverable through any provincial program or through insurance, will benefit greatly from your hard work and dedication.

Sorry I was unable to be there.

Please pass on our sincere appreciation to all who participated in the event.

As far as material items go, to the best

of my knowledge, I haven’t heard of significant shortages. We have received many articles of clothing and other items that have been donated at the recovery centre, many of which seem destined for the thrift store following the winding down of the recovery centre.

If you were an MLA, you were raising your hand in support of a motion to create a northern university.

It was a simple act that came after an unprecedented social movement in northern British Columbia that changed the course of this region forever.

The University of Northern B.C. (UNBC) is 25 years old and our first generation is loaded with stories that describe the successes of our students, faculty, and alumni. We have nearly 12,000 graduates and the majority of them are living and working in northern B.C., contributing their skills and creativity to make our communities better.

The planning process will certainly involve our campus community, but it’s natural for UNBC to move beyond our campuses and involve the citizens and communities of northern B.C. and beyond.

Take the opportunity to be involved in the future of UNBC, just as 16,000 northerners were actively involved in creating it in the first place. The next 25 years won’t be easy, with declining populations of young people and a challenging fiscal environment, but UNBC is a tremendous resource for the region and we’ll need your continued support and engagement to be even better.

Mine restart decision expected early July WILLIAMS LAKE - The statutory decision makers determining if Mount Polley Mine can restart have received everything they asked for from Imperial Metals and should be able to make a decision soon, Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett said.

“There’s a lot of material,” Bennett told the Tribune Thursday. “It’s very technical and cannot be done overnight, but they are working hard to evaluate all that information to try and make a decision as close to the end of June or just barely into July as possible.”

In addition to a temporary restart application, Imperial Metals is being required by the government to provide a long-term plan on managing water at the site, but has not completed that plan yet.

“Right now the only mine plan proposed is for short term operations that will allow us to mine a maximum of four million tonnes of ore and use the Springer Pit for tailings disposal,” said Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson.

Of the 121 people still working at the mine, 75 are union members, United Steelworkers Union president Paul French said.

“We support the issuing of a permit and we don’t believe the government would issue a permit if it wasn’t safe,” French said Thursday."

Waterpark wading into Penticton PENTICTON - An inflatable waterpark blew up on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna last summer, and the contagious business idea has been adopted in Penticton.

“We had a really good response with the park in Kelowna and because of that we wanted to set up in Penticton,” said Rylie Gallagher, co-owner of the park. “It is very cool and something that will challenge all ages.”

The Wibit park will have obstacles suitable for ages five and up the floating sports course in Penticton, which will be located on Okanagan Lake across from Salty’s Beach House, will include monkey bars, trampolines, slides and other obstacles. Gallagher believes the parks in Kelowna and Penticton are the only open water public parks of their kind in Western Canada.

There is not enough government help for the victims without insurance.

No, from what I have read and seen on television, I don’t think there is enough government help.

No. I would say they are not doing enough for these victims. It sounds like 100 Mile House is doing more for them than Victoria is.

No. I don’t know all of the facts, but if there are people still in financial trouble they should be helped.

A wrecked car went up in flames in the parking lot behind Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School just before 2 p.m. on June 16. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Darrell Blades says the vehicle had been used for Vehicle Extrication Training in a structural firefighting class that morning, and it appears someone later pushed it up on a barricade. The fire is considered suspicious and is under RCMP investigation.

Jadyn Monical of Mile 108 Elementary School crossed the finish line first in the Grade 5 girls 800-metre race at the Inter School South End Track Meet at 100 Mile Elementary School on June 11. “I think my legs are going to fall off,� Monical said after the race, which she led the entire way with a swift pace.

Students set new records

An exhausted Jadyn Monical thought her legs were going to fall off after she won the 800-metre race in the early morning of the Inter School South End Track Meet.

But the Grade 5 Mile 108 Elementary School student must have had plenty of leg left in the afternoon, when she broke her age group's 200m record, one of seven records that fell at 100 Mile Elementary School on June 11.

Vanessa Betschart, of Bridge Lake Elementary School, broke the age 10 division's ball throw record (previously 26.50m) with 27.30m.

Daniel Villeneuve, of 100 Mile Elementary, blew by the previous age 10, 100m dash record (16.10 seconds) with a time of 15.50.

Monical beat the previous age 11, 200m record (33.25) with a time of 33 seconds.

Horse Lake Elementary School's Kyson Hopson broke the age 11, 100m dash record (previously 14.97) with a time of 14.71.

100 Mile House speedster Conner Giroux made a big statement at the annual track meet, breaking three

running records in the age 13 boys category. Giroux now holds the 100m record of 12.78 seconds, beating out the previous time of 12.90; the 200m record of 27.7 seconds, beating out the previous time of 28.40; and the 800m record of 2 minutes 34 seconds, beating out the previous mark of 2 minutes 49 seconds.

The students with the highest aggregate scores after multiple events at the end of the day were Betschart and Villeneuve in the age 10 division; Monical and Hopson (age 11); Hailey McNabb and Kai Flett of Mile 108 Elementary School (age 12); and Amy Baechmann and Giroux of 100 Mile Elementary School (age 13).

The annual competition also saw students from Lac la Hache Elementary School, Forest Grove Elementary School and Eliza Archie Memorial School.

Bridge Lake Elementary School won the most points in the small school group.

Mile 108 Elementary School beat out 100 Mile House Elementary School by one point for the most in the larger school group.

Parents can save $75 per player with 100 Mile House & District Minor Hockey Association early registration, which is open now until June 25.

Registration is open to boys and girls ages four to 18 of all skill levels.

Financial Tip of the Week With Should I take CPP early?

Ottawa is slowly changing the math on the Canada Pension Plan by increasing the incentive to wait until you are 65 or older before taking the state pension.

When the http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/ Dave Simkins eng/services/pensions/cpp/retirement/ Branch Manager age.shtml rules are fully in effect in 2016, starting a CPP pension at 60 will give you 36% less than if you wait until 65.

If you need the money to live on, or have health problems take it as soon as possible. If you think you can invest the money and come out ahead, take it early, but be warned that you’ll need a pretty hefty rate of return. You will pay tax on the pension and pay more tax on any profit unless you can put it into an RRSP or a Tax free Savings Account (TFSA).

If you don’t need the money, wait as long as you can. You get a lot more and it is indexed and we’re living longer. A woman and a man who is 60 this year can expect to live on average to 89.3 and 87.3 according to the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.

Excitement for upcoming theatre season 100 Mile Performing Arts Society releases schedule for 2015/16 The approaching community theatre season will truly have something for everyone with three very different productions slated in the coming months at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House.

The 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society is sponsoring a Missoula Children’s Theatre production, Sleeping Beauty, this fall, followed by a fun, family-friendly pantomime version of Cinderella in December, and the A.R. Gurney play, The Dinning Room, in March 2016.

The plays were chosen following a new “pitch a play” initiative by the local community theatre group, asking aspiring directors to bring their production ideas forward.

“We’re already looking

The 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society has released its upcoming schedule of plays for the fall and spring seasons.

The local community theatre group’s production of The Melville Boys in March, which featured, Lacey Venner, left, Brian Weir, Alex Martin and Gina Gigliotti, was a big hit with audiences at Martin Exeter Hall.

forward to ‘pitch a play’ next year,” says board member Margot Shaw. “It’s really cool seeing people taking a longer term view and developing ideas.”

MAYVIN

PLUMBING & HEATING

The Missoula Children’s Theatre original adaptation of Sleeping Beauty is open to youth from across the region for no fee. There are parts for 50 to 60 kinder-

garten to Grade 12 students, with auditions on Sept. 14, rehearsals in the afternoons Sept. 15-18, and two shows on Sept. 19.

The original adaptation

TLC Maintenance Program

of the classic fairy tale will see Sleeping Beauty, after 500 years of sleep, find herself in a “Rock ‘n Roll Fable for the ages.”

Cinderella is being directed

by Performing Arts Society board member Donalda Speers. The show, with a cast of 23, promises to be a “raucous, fun time,” with music, comedy and audience participation, in time for the Christmas season.

The Dinning Room, with a cast of six, is the second A.R. Gurney play the Performing Arts Society is producing, following Love Letters in October 2014.

Gord Smith, who previously directed Art of Murder in February, is the director.

“Gord is terribly courageous for taking it on,” says Shaw. “This is a bigger cast and it will be just as much as a stretch [dramatically for the actors]. It’s definitely a Gurney play. It’s not anything simple on the surface. It’s a really challenging piece.”

The Cariboo Elders Building and Recreation Society president notes 70 people showed up to listen to the guest dignitaries and enjoy the live entertainment provided by the square dancers from Lac la Hache and singers-s ong w r iters Leslie Ross and Jason Ruscheinsky.

Cargnelutti says the celebration was everything she hoped it would be, as it showcased everything the centre offers for folks aged 50 years and up.

“We signed up a few new members, so that was great. We made sure we had membership forms on hand.”

She notes people who had not been to the centre for a long time showed up and renewed their interest.

Father’s Day Fun for children five years and under

Ken Alexander Free Press

StrongStart is hosting a free Father’s Day Fun event, for parents with children up to five years old, at the South Cariboo Rec Centre tomorrow (June 19) from 5 to 7 p.m.

Organizer Shelly Joyner says everyone is welcome to attend the event.

“We often get questions from moms wondering if they can come, or if it’s a dadonly event. So, yes, they can come; as long as you have kids up to five years, everyone is welcome.

“It can be moms and dads, moms, dads, grandparents or caregivers. The event was called ‘Father’s Day

Fun’ because it is held on the weekend close to Father’s Day and that’s where the confusion may come in.”

Noting this is the Fifth Annual Father’s Day Fun event, Joyner says it is very popular and there were 267 attendees last year.

She adds there are a lot of other organizations that help out

during the event.

They include the Cedar Crest Society for Community Living, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy, the South Cariboo Rec. Centre (setup and the Bouncy Castle), Early Child Development team, Lone Butte 4H Club (petting farm), Kindergym, and all of the StrongStart centres.

Joyner says there will be a lot of games and activities to keep the children happy and

entertained.

They include Bouncy Castles, T-ball, bubbles, face painting, photoand-frame booth, ring toss for books, floor hockey, sidewalk chalk art, baby zone, fish for prizes, pond study and petting farm.

There will also be a free dinner.

She notes they are also looking for volunteers to help at the event. For more information or to volunteer, call Shelly at 250-395-9303.

The Interlakes Farmers’ Market is back for another season starting June 27.

Twice as many vendors, plus live entertainment, are slated for the weekly, Saturday event, which started last year with six vendors.

The Interlakes Farmers’ Market, located near the Country Pedlar off Highway 24, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for 12 weeks.

“We have 11 confirmed vendors to start this season and there will be a selection of meats, cheeses, freshly baked breads, cakes and cookies, brats from the barbecue, homemade pies, eggs, relishes and jams, honey, fudge, fresh B.C. produce and plants and flowers,” explains Jackie Williamson, manager of the Interlakes Farmers’ Market.

“The reason the Interlakes Economic Association started the Farmers’ Market is to support our local farmers and ranchers.”

The opening day market will feature a life-size, farm animal photo stand-in, constructed by Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School students, and demonstrations by the Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department.

The Interlakes Farmers’ Market is also launching its new logo, a Cariboo Farmer, which will be found on signs along Highway 24.

Kids Space members, parents enjoy spawning channel experience INTERLAKES Diana Forster 250 593-2155

On May 31, the Friends of Sheridan Lake Society (FOSLS) closed the spawning channel at Sheridan Park Resort for the season, and FOSLS president Chris Brown invited Kids Space to participate.

The channel is used to release eggs from the female fish, so they do not become egg bound and die young.

Since there are no natural streams in or out of Sheridan Lake, this place is ideal – due to the slope of the land – for the fish to swim up the ladder and spawn.

A large pump at the bottom of the channel pumps water to the top and then it runs down quite forcefully. When the water becomes too warm (18.3 C) the fish get stressed and the channel has to be shut down.

When the water flow is turned off, many fish, large and small, stay behind in the individual pools. They must be caught in nets, put into buckets and carried down to the lake to be released. They refuse to swim down by themselves.

Eventually, only very small fish remain and the Kids Space children, many of whom had never caught a fish, enjoyed catching them, learned how to carefully handle them and put them into buckets, and released them into the lake.

Their parents enjoyed themselves quite as much as the children.

Students excel Interlakers are very proud of their grads and wish them every success in the future. They include Tristiana Allwood, Hailey Blattler, Jesse

Boyce, Dawn Caldwell, Brent Ehlers, Jennifer Sprecher, Samuel Vogel and Nicole Walry.

This is a last minute reschedule on the BC Little Britches Rodeo Association Circuit.

The Princeton rodeo was cancelled and the Kamloops Little Britches Club decided to host a rodeo in Clinton, so contestants do not miss out on a rodeo.

This writer is assisting the organizers of this rodeo and we’re currently seeking sponsorships and volunteers.

If you would like to make a donation towards a new time clock, please contact the Clinton Branch at 4592173.

The current time clock is not usable, and to date, approximately $4,500 has been raised.

For the smaller students, the program is also an opportunity to see and understand “the bigger school” and the change that’s going to happen down the road, Corbett adds.

SD27 hopes to get other schools from the area involved in the coming years, he notes.

“We want to give them a lot of potential [options], a lot of vision for what the future looks like.”

For many homeowners, that spring cleaning also means a careful examination of a home’s exterior. Winter can prove especially harsh on a home’s exterior, in particular the roof. While stains on the ceiling or obvious leaks are easy ways to detect roof damage, many times problems with a roof are not so obvious. For homeowners hoping to give their roof a thorough end-of-winter examination, consider the following tips for recognizing roof damage.

• Look on the ground surrounding the home. While it might seem odd to look down to see if a roof has been damaged, some of the most telltale signs of roof damage could be right in the yard, nearby bushes or driveway. Strong winds, common in many regions during the winter months, can blow off shingles. Those shingles can then land in the yard, trees, bushes, driveway, etc.

www.edwardssecurity.ca

• The best way to detect any roof damage is to go up on the roof. Certain roof damage requires careful inspection, as not all roof damage announces its presence via a leaky ceiling or blown off shingle. Roof damage from hail, for instance, leaves marks or dents on the shingles and can even crack the shingles’ tabs. Oftentimes, such damage isn’t noticeable to the naked eye, requiring a careful rooftop inspection.

Call Martina, Lori or Chris at 250-395-2219 to advertise in this feature for $28.00 plus GST per week based on a 3 month commitment.

• Inspect the roof’s supporting cast. Homeowners living in regions where heavy snowfall is common should also look at the support beams in their attics. Roofs tend to take a beating in regions with heavy snowfall, as the weight of all that snow can take its toll over time. That toll can extend to support beams in the attic, resulting in sagging supports or cracks. Even if the roof appears to have made it through another harsh winter, it’s still a safe and smart bet to see how well the roof’s supporting cast handled the harsh weather as well.

70 Mile fire protection referendum scheduled 70 MILE HOUSE VIC POPIEL 250-456-2321

vpopiel70@hotmail.com

At a previous meeting, residents agreed to a referendum on providing $30,000 per year to the 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department (70MHVFD).

The funding would come from an increase on property taxes.

The referendum will be held June 27.

Residents will vote at the 70 Mile Community Hall from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

If the referendum passes, it will enable the 70MHVFD to begin upgrading firefighting equipment and eventually be recognized as a fire department for insurance purposes – providing a break on home and businesses insurance premiums.

area on July 2. It will be at the South Green Lake Fred Potter Memorial Fire Hall from 10 to 11 a.m. and at the 70 Mile General Store from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

SMAC news The Seventy Mile Access Centre recently received a huge donation of discarded books from the Williams Lake library. These books are being displayed in the bingo room.
