Marmot Ridge ALR exclusion denied

Carole Rooney Free Press

An application to remove lands at the Marmot Ridge Golf Course from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) saw District of 100 Mile House council in a standoff vote at the June 17 regular meeting. Council deliberated on whether to endorse sending the request to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). Councillor Bill Hadden spoke against the change, and said golf courses were originally allowed in the ALR to assist farmers with diversifying their revenue streams. “I can’t in good conscience allow this ... it was very, very clear from the onset what the intent of allowing golf courses on ‘Ag’ land was for, and it hasn’t worked.” It was not intended for later consideration of removing these golf course lands from the ALR – a concern that was raised at the time, he explained. Coun. Dave Mingo also urged council to not endorse forwarding

the application to the ALC. “I am opposed to removing land from the ALR, whether it’s a golf course or ... whatever. We are an agricultural community and I’d prefer to see that our agricultural land base is kept for the future.” Cec Kaban, who owns the property with his wife, Shirley, was present and gained council’s permission to speak. Kaban said he wanted council to consider approving his request as he has no agricultural prospects in mind for the property. “I’d just like to sell it, and retire.” There has been some interest passed through his realtor about the potential for a seniors complex or other residential development to be built on the site, but there is insufficient land to do that on the approximately 20 per cent of the property not in the ALR, he explained. Kaban said he is aiming to get rezoning in place for that sort of development. “The whole property wouldn’t be used as a [residential] complex, the building would go somewhere, and

probably the land would still remain partially as a park or a golf course.” Coun. Spence Henderson noted the Bridge Creek Estate had sold this agricultural land to the previous golf course owners, rather than farming it. “I’m thinking the owner wants to do something else with it, and we are painting him into a corner where the only thing he can do is something we don’t want him to do.” Mayor Mitch Campsall agreed that might be a valid point. Henderson asked if there were means for council to consider removal of a smaller piece of land from the ALR to be combined with the 20 per cent of non-ALR land to facilitate a residential development. Staff advised council it could consider that under a new application process, and it will seek clarification on due process for that. Council directed staff to also look into what issues could result from doing this for commercial purposes, and how land much ALR land might be involved.

In highly unusual negative wording, the resulting motion was that “council does not support the proposal” to remove the lands from the ALR for purposes of residential development. Coun. Ralph Fossum was unavoidably absent from the meeting, which left four voting members. The result was a tie vote, which constitutes defeat under the Local Government Act (LGA). Mingo and Hadden voted in favour of the motion, and Campsall and Henderson opposed it. However, District chief administrative officer Roy Scott explained that despite the defeat of the motion to not support the proposal, the application is still denied. (Even if the vote had been worded positively, it would have been defeated under a tie.) The LGA also stipulates council is under no obligation to vote on any further motion on this application, unless the mayor requests that, he noted. Whether that pans out into any review of a revised plan is yet to be seen.

FIRE CHECKS Ken Alexander photo

Rev. Keith Dobyns and members of congregation at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in 100 Mile House completed 22 days of praying and ringing the church bell on National Aboriginal Day (June 21). They were remembering the 1,181 indigenous women and girls who were reported missing and murdered since 1980 and praying for reconciliation.

Missing and murdered women remembered The St. Timothy’s Anglican Church congregation in 100 Mile House has been praying and tolling the church bell daily since May 31. Rev. Keith Dobyns says they have been doing this to remember the 1,181 indigenous women and girls who were reported missing and murdered since 1980. “At noon on June 21 [National Aboriginal Day], we completed these 22 days of prayer and remembrance that began with the closing ceremony of the Indian Residential School Truth and Reconciliation Commission, with the final 68 tolls of the bell, and our own prayers for reconciliation.” The following is the beginning of Sunday’s prayer read by a congregation member: “O God, from you nothing is hidden and no pleas for mercy goes unheard. Hear our cry of lament. “Your heart grieves, O God, for all those displaced from homeland

or family by human injustice. We remember how Indigenous children were taken away from parents and sent to residential schools, and the actions that dehumanized and degraded so many of them. “We remember those who continue to carry pain, and those who left this world having heard words of apology. “That we may refuse to be comforted until the violence of the strong has been confounded and the broken everywhere mount up on wings like eagles, we lift our hearts in prayer.” Then together, Reverend and congregation, said: “God, we call to you for help. In your mercy hear out prayer.” Church apology The Anglican Church of Canada carried the following message at www.22days.ca/about. About #22days Our church had a century-long

history of working with the government to run a total of 36 residential schools for Indigenous children. Though individual participants may have had nobler intentions, the underlying colonial aim was the destruction of Indigenous cultures and the assimilation of children into Euro-Canadian society. In the pursuit of this goal, we tore apart families and communities, and drove students and their parents, siblings and children into dysfunction and addiction. Many students were emotionally, sexually and physically abused. We recognized our wrongdoing and withdrew from running the schools in 1969. It took us another quarter-century to apologize to former students and their families. We’ve been trying to live into that apology ever since, pushing for justice, healing and reconciliation while confronting the ways in which the church has embodied

colonial attitudes. More recently we helped establish the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and have supported its work to share the stories of Indigenous peoples’ school experiences, and the resulting intergenerational trauma. It is our central spiritual work. It’s also our legal obligation, under court order. The TRC will begin its final national gathering on May 31 in Ottawa. Join us in moving the reconciliation work forward by committing to listen to a different school survivor tell his or her story on this website during each of the 22 days between then and National Aboriginal Day, June 21, and to pray for everyone affected. This is the first step in a long journey towards facing our past and working towards reconciliation. It’s also a wonderful invitation to spiritual and emotional growth and new life.

Poultry slaughter returns to rabbit farm

Carole Rooney Free Press

The return of the provincially licensed poultry slaughter to the South Cariboo has producers lining up for processing their birds and rabbits. New Cal Rabbit Farm’s Margaret Bishop says orders are being taken for eight different dates spanning this summer and fall at its on-site mobile slaughter unit. “I want to let people know they can start book-

ing their birds.” The management is being handled in-house this year, because after they contracted that out last year, the farm ended up hauling poultry to a Kelowna processing facility to accommodate all the orders, she explains. “It is going to be [my husband] Stephen and I who are actually supervising this year.” Margaret adds she has also returned to her former role as a director on the board of the Quesnel-based Cariboo Central Interior Poultry

Producers Association (CCIPPA), which owns the mobile slaughter unit. “[CCIPPA] is going to be the one in charge. We are just going to be supervising it for them because this is a service that the community needs.” New Cal is still looking for staff to assist on the slaughter days, she says, adding the current booking dates are June 30, July 28, Aug. 4 and 25, Sept. 29, Oct. 1, 6 and 8. For more information, call New Cal at 250-395-3336.

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will submit a resolution to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities this fall that calls for changes to proposed rural fire inspections of public buildings. It will ask the province to provide the resources necessary to inspect and enforce provincial safety regulations, including those under the Fire Services Act, and enforce them through the Fire Commissioner or BC Safety Authority. It opposes government’s plan to mandate that local governments fulfill these responsibilities.

VOLUNTEER AWARDS The Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards recognize Canadians who are finding new ways of making a difference in their communities, and recognizes the benefits of volunteering. It acknowledges individuals, businesses and not-for-profit organizations that give generously of their time and make a positive impact on the lives of others. Nominations are open until June 30.

Trappers challenge forest industry

Gaven Crites Free Press

The British Columbia Trappers Association is ruffling feathers in hope of protecting vulnerable species. The animal trapping and wildlife management organization is bringing attention to the Migratory Birds Convention Act, a close to 100-year-old international agreement to protect birds species in Canada and the United States, with letters addressed to government officials and forestry companies,

whose logging practices are being questioned by the group. “BC Trappers from around the province have witnessed large scale harvesting through [critical nesting periods from May to August] for years, and seen the significant decline in bird and mammal populations,” states the letter by Brian Dack, the organization’s president. “We want to ensure that all natural resources in our great province are harvested or developed in a sustainable way to ensure that

MOVE UP THE RANKS

our greatest natural resource – wildlife and natural biodiversity, will be here for eternity.” They’ve been met with mostly apathy or hostility, says Paul Blackwell, a local resident and director with the BC Trappers, who adds that Dack received

“very nasty threatening phone calls” from people associated with lumber companies in the U.S. Blackwell says provincial government officials “are listening politely,” but are not committed to real enforcement of the act

The new “slightly lower threshold” to add the word “may” to the laws on intervening might have made a difference in preventing the hit-and-run in Quebec last year that killed one soldier and injured another, she adds. “Certainly, we know the officials were very concerned about the person in Quebec, but they didn’t meet the threshold to actually

intervene. Perhaps it would have made a difference....” McLeod explains other important measures in the bill include ways to stop the prolific online activities to recruit and incite terrorists, and to allow foreign security flags to be raised at the border.

108 Lake Accessible Trail officially open our region accessible to all, and enhance the visitor experience in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.” The 108 Lake and Sepa Lake Accessible Trails can be accessed at the 108 Mile Heritage Site, which is 13 km north of 100 Mile House and can be accessed

Accessible trail promises new adventures for all visitors

The 108 Mile Ranch is the latest community in the Cariboo-Chilcotin to develop a wheelchair accessible wilderness trail, and it was officially opened on June 18. The 108 Lake Accessible Trail was developed in partnership amongst the C ar i b o o Regional District (CRD), Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development through the BC Community Recreation Program (BCCRP), Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT); the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition; and the 108 Greenbelt Commission. Community trails are more than just a public pathway, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says. “These trails are places where people connect and spend time with friends and family; while enjoying nature and recreational activities. The CRD has done a great job working towards its goals of accessibility and inclusion through these trail upgrades. “The 108 Lake Accessible Trail is the latest example in a network of wheelchair accessible trails being completed through funding from province’s Community Recreation Program and through the hard work, commitment, and vision of CRD board of directors.” From the $401,250 BCCRP grant award-

ed to the CRD for the accessible trail upgrade projects, $85,000 was dedicated to the 108 Lake Accessible Trail. “I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the 108 Lake Accessible Trail,” says CRD chair and Electoral Area G Director Al Richmond. “This is the next step in making the Cariboo-Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair accessible tourism destinations in the world. Projects, such as the 108 Lake Accessible Trail, show what can be accomplished through regional collaboration and commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and visitors of all abilities.” The 108 Lake Accessible Trail connects to the Sepa Lake Accessible Trail and together they provide seven kilometres of gently graded lowmobility trail along the two picturesque lakes. Two accessible outhouses, 10 benches

and rest stops providing beautiful views, and three accessible picnic tables are available for visitors’ use. The commission is very excited to showcase the new fully accessible 108 Lake Accessible Trail,” says 108 Greenbelt Commission chair, Ron Soeder. “We would like to thank all of our partners who joined us in making this trail a reality. Those with low mobility who could not previously experience this area are now included and can fully enjoy this beauti-

ful trail.” British Columbia’s Cariboo-Chilcotin is known for its rugged and beautiful landscapes, but these amazing parts of our province are often difficult to access for people with mobility issues, says NDIT chief executive officer Janine North. “Accessible travel is one of the fastest growing tourism markets in North America, and this trail project means our region has become that much more accessible to residents and visitors alike.”

The Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition is excited to be a part of this regional project,” says CCBAC chair, Bob Simpson. “It is an excellent example of how partnerships, co-operation and collaboration can achieve great results.

Business owner provides help Makes $1,000 donation to an older Cache Creek couple

Veronica Borg of Borgos’ Sport Shack followed through on her plan to donate half of the proceeds from her sales on June 19 to help victims of the recent Cache Creek flash

floods. The revenue – $864 – was half of what went through the till on Friday during last weekend’s Town-wide garage sale event in 100 Mile House. Then Borg topped it up to $1,000. Noting she had contacted the Village of

Cache Creek to see if someone could meet with her on Sunday to receive the cheque, Borg says no one got back to her. “So, we just drove down [on Sunday] anyway and took a look around. We went to the trailer park that had

been hit the hardest and we saw an older couple who were kinda cleaning up and we talked to them for a bit.” There was $125,000 donated for the Cache Creek flood victims, Borg says, adding the couple told her that money hasn’t been released yet. “So, we gave our donation of $1,000 to this older couple.” They were the closest to where the slide was and they lost their yard and chain-link fence, she says, adding they said there were a number of trailers that weren’t safe to occupy, including their own. The couple noted the

disaster relief was only going to cover 80 per cent of the value of the homes and it wouldn’t be enough for them to recover their yard to make it safe. “They said they have to move and that money was going to help them with that move. Both of them were in tears.” Borg says she didn’t ask their names or take a photograph of them because she didn’t want to “exploit them in that way.” She wants to “give a big shout out” to the customers who came in on Friday (June 19). “Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to present anything.”

Thieves arrested for a rash of break-and-enters Not all of the stolen property has been re-acquired

On June 12, 100 Mile House RCMP attended a break-and-enter at a residence on Canim Place. Subsequent inquiries and reports determined five recreational residences had been broken into on Canim Place and South Canim Lake Road. Numerous items including firearms taken. Two other reports had been received the week prior in this same

area. Subsequently, a concerned citizen made RCMP members aware of a vehicle that was observed stuck in the area of one of the breakins on South Canim Lake Road. Members attended and spoke with two male youths who were inside the vehicle. It was determined property stolen from the residences, including a firearm, was inside the vehicle. Both males were arrested for

possession of stolen property. As the investigation unfolded, RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence on the 500 block of Birch Avenue where two additional males were arrested. A large amount of stolen property believed to be associated to the residences at Canim Place was located. A 16-year-old male and a 17-year-old – both from 100 Mile House –

who were located at the initial scene have been charged with possession of stolen property. Both were subsequently released by a Judicial Justice of the Peace following a bail hearing. The other males who were arrested, a 35-yearold male and a 16 year old male – both from 100 Mile House – were released on a promise to appear. The investigation into these break-and-enters

is continuing and it is believed additional break-ins in the area are associated. It is anticipated that additional

charges will be laid in this incident. Not all the property has been recovered. Anyone with informa-

tion concerning these events is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-39502456.

PRESTIGIOUS LION AWARD

Vehicle torched at PSO

On June 16, 100 Mile House RCMP attended a vehicle fire at the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. A vehicle, which had been used by the mechanics class, was found fully engulfed in flames in the parking lot. Two students were arrested as a result of the incident. A 14-year-old female was arrested for arson, and a male student was arrested for mischief. Both suspects were later released. The investigation into this matter is continuing.

Stolen sunglasses At 5:44 p.m. on June 15, RCMP attended a breakand-enter to the 100 Mile House Vision Care Centre on Birch Ave. A large number of “Maui Jim” sunglasses were stolen from inside the business, which had been entered when the suspect smashed the window. RCMP seized items that may assist in identifying the suspect. If anyone has any information on this case, they are asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250395-2456 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Wildlife protection important

From A4

While acknowledging wildlife conservation is an important concern, Barnett notes that this particular act is administered and enforced at the federal level by Environment Canada. B.C. has its own management policies with industry in place to protect migratory birds, such as the establishment of parks and protected areas, she says. “In B.C., we’re a global leader in sustainable integrated resource management. Under the Forest and Range Practices Act, forest companies address habitat needs of identified birds, species at risk, or conservation concerns in their forest stewardship plans.” The MLA talks about balancing the protection of the environment with economic concerns. “We have to work together to protect both. We can’t shut down industry and we can’t

ignore wildlife habitat.” Environment Canada says complaints regarding potential violations of the act and regulations it enforces are closely examined on a case-by-case basis, and

doesn’t acknowledge any specific violations of the Migratory Birds Convention Act by forest companies in the province. “The protection of Canada’s wildlife is a

collaborative effort that benefits from close co-operation between Environment Canada and its partners at the federal, provincial and local levels, including industry.”

Canadian Pride

A plan for real change

fter 10 years under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, Ottawa is broken. Canadians’ faith in politics has never been lower. After promising reform, the Conservatives have delivered the most centralized, partisan and self-serving government in the history of our great country. Under Mr. Harper, science and evidence have never mattered less; politics and partisanship have never mattered more. The people elected to represent their communities in Ottawa have become the federal government’s voice in their community. That is why the Liberal Party of Canada has proposed a comprehensive plan to restore Canadians’ confidence and trust in government – a plan for real change. Real change is about opening up government. The Liberal Party will reduce fees for requesting government

GUEST SHOT

anada turns 148 years old on July 1 and it’s a great reason to celebrate being Canadian. That’s because we’re a special breed of people, eh! Most people in our country experience the cold of winter and the difficulties that Old Man Winter brings us in terms of temperatures, snow and ice. Perhaps those on the Coast or in the Lower Mainland don’t experience our four or five months of winter, but most of them have had to deal with cold feet, shovelling snow and icy roads. Winter makes Canadians a tougher folk overall because we not only endure and overcome these challenges, we also like to play in our winter wonderland – whether it’s sledding, skiing, fishing or just getting outside for a bit of fresh air. This helps makes Canadians a little more inclusive, as we’re willing to accept people for who they are – folks who are trying to stay warm and are willing to help each other accomplish that goal. Maybe it’s because we have a relatively small population in this vast country we live in, but Canadians are a friendly people. Maybe this is why we tend to be more forgiving of minor transgressions and misunderstandings. People from other countries notice that and they like being greeted with a smile and a willingness to provide assistance. So, generally speaking, Canadians are happy, helpful and respectful, and these traits and principles have been passed down through the generations. This, undoubtedly, is why people want to come to Canada to start a new life or escape from lives of strife and misery. We should be proud to be Canadian because of everything we have – freedom, democracy, great natural resources, abundant water, clean air, public health care and a great education system. Therefore, we need to ensure we’re protecting and securing what we have, and making sure there is something to pass on to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We need to be involved in what’s going on around us. We need to make sure we’re not taking for granted the gifts our parents and their parents worked so hard to give us. When we go to the Canada Day celebrations – at the 108 Mile Heritage Site or the Interlakes Service Centre – on July 1, we should take a couple of minutes to pause and take in the community celebrations and, hopefully, realize what is happening around us. These are family members, friends and neighbours who are celebrating being Canadian. Together we are a community and we have to look after each other to ensure our collective interests and needs are being met and protected. What we have needs to be protected. Enjoy Canada Day – we deserve it.

form census. Real change is about raising the level of service provided to Canadians to a higher standard. We’ll expand digital and phone services. Stop the Conservatives’ plan to end door-to-door mail delivery. We’ll overhaul the Canada Revenue Agency, so it serves taxpayers rather than frustrating them, and we’ll end the political harassment of charities and clarify the rules to reaffirm their important role in public debate. Liberals will commit to gender parity in all government appointments – and our federal cabinet will have an equal number of men and women. These are just highlights of our plan. All are part of a Liberal agenda that will shed new light on the government and ensure it is focused on the people it is meant to serve: Canadians.

Sundhu: need to look closely at McLeod’s mailer

To the editor: Households received a government mail out from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod claiming: Stephen Harper created over 1,000,000 “full-time, high-wage” jobs. Reality: Since Harper came to power in 2006, workers in B.C. and Ontario have seen their wages go down. The rest of the country saw wages driven by oil, a boom that has since gone bust. Last year, Canada only created 32,000

permanent jobs; temporary jobs skyrocketed to 110,000. Employment has not “risen considerably” over the last five years. Reality: The percentage of Canadians who have jobs is as low as it was at the worst point of the recession (61.3%). GDP took the deepest plunge in the first quarter in nearly six years (0.6%). Business investment down; exports down for second consecutive quarter; and household spending has lowest growth in three years.

Middle class families are working harder, but falling further behind. Over the last 35 years, while GDP has grown 147%, income for typical Canadian families has actually shrunk by 7%. Household debt is way up and youth unemployment is 15%. Too many jobs are parttime and precarious. Clearly, Harper’s plan isn’t working. To grow, Canada needs a strong and thriving middle class. New Democrats will partner with business to attract investment, compete and help create export

markets in sectors like renewables and use our natural resources prudently. We’ll work with provinces from skills training to clusters of excellence to spur manufacturing, innovation, R&D. Earlier this year, the NDP announced an Innovation Tax Credit to encourage investment in machinery and equipment. We announced tax cuts for small and medium businesses, the backbone of communities and creators of 80% all new jobs. Conservatives voted against it.

Weeks later, they put our small business tax cut into their budget, but over three-four years. The NDP supports small businesses and we’ll begin the tax reductions right away – creating good local jobs. Our plan is achievable, effective and affordable. Working together, we can bring change for a stronger, more prosperous Canada. Bill Sundhu Federal NDP candidate, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Know your facts before voting Canadians urged to protest Bill C-51 To the editor: The man who wants to be prime minister of Canada is making a lot of blunders in public. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says his childcare plan will pay out one million $15 per day in child-care spaces over 10 years, yet in reality if he would review his notes, that NDP child care plan is over eight years. He says the present corporation tax rate is between 12 and 13 per cent, yet in reality, it is at 15 per cent. He proposes to raise the rate in the range of 18 to 19 per cent. It is amazing of how a

I’

lot of Canadian taxpayers are wanting change and thinking of Thomas Mulcair to be that change without ever thinking of the consequences of that thought. Many taxpayers work for corporations and if Mulcair is successful at becoming prime minister, many taxpayers will be heading to the unemployment office to make a claim for employment insurance. The reason for this is that if the corporation tax goes up, the corporation has to find other means to cover for this increase. That would mean an immediate decrease in labour costs,

which equates to a layoff slip. Voting for a change to put yourselves out of work. You call that smart thinking? You have to have your heads examined, big time. Once laid off, is Mulcair going to find you another job? Remember there are always two sides to the ledger. Think before marking your voting ballot. Remember there is no such thing as a perfect world, which is why the facts and reality is that you cannot have your cake and eat it, too. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Bar Association wants people to contact MPs to voice concerns

To the editor: The Canadian Bar Association (BA), which represents all Canadian lawyers, is urging Canadians to protest a the federal Conservative government’s Bill C-51. How often does that happen? As organizers prepared for a day of nation-wide demonstrations against Bill C-51 on May 30, the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) urged Canadians to march in protest against the legislation. The CBA is a national professional organization representing all Canadian lawyers. Spokesperson Eric Gottardi outlined the CBA’s strong condemnation of the bill, saying, “We would encourage Canadians to continue to march, to protest and to write letters and e-mails to their MPs voicing their concerns.” h t t p : / / w w w. v a n c o u v e r o b s e r v e r. c o m / national/canadian-bar-association-urges-canadians-march-protest-bill-c-51 Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy

the province Asbestos dumped in the Chilliwack River Valley CHILLIWACK - If illegal dumpers go into the woods today, they could be in for a big surprise. Residents of the Chilliwack River Valley have stepped up their practice of observing and reporting suspicious behavior after another troubling find in the rural area. Over the weekend members of the area’s Citizens on Patrol discovered about one dozen bags of asbestos just off the edge of Chilliwack Lake Road, near the Ford Mountain Prison site. A resident alerted the Fraser Valley Regional District’s area director, Orion Engar, over the weekend. He phoned it into the Conservation Hotline on Monday morning, who sent out an officer to confirm the large bags marked as carrying asbestos did contain the hazardous materials. The asbestos was professionally bagged in the proper thick, plastic sealed bags. Asbestos is found in many buildings, as it was used in the past in insulation. It’s believed it’s not harmful until it’s disturbed. “Chilliwack River Valley Citizens on Patrol members are now out actively taking license plate numbers and reporting all suspicious activity to RCMP.” Rally to stop hospital laundry privatization NELSON - Hospital laundry employees and their union president rallied together as they marched down Nelson’s Baker Street to City Hall in a collective voice against the privatization of hospital laundry services. The rally is to save in-house hospital laundry services and jobs in Nelson. The colourful and vocal group garnered support prompting honks and cheers from many people driving by. After the rally reached city hall, Elkins and three local hospital laundry workers, Mike Pierce, Al Chatten and Geoff Sheloff, addressed the crowd, as did city councillor Michael Dailly and BC Government and Service Employees' Union representative Henny Hanegraaf. Kootenay Lake Hospital laundry worker Sophia Dricos organized the event. She has worked it in laundry service for 29 years, 19 of which have been at the Nelson Hospital.

Marijuana, firearms seized by RCMP

Four arrested after police conduct drug bust near 105 Mile

Four men were arrested after RCMP officers conducted a drug bust just north of 100 Mile House on June 17. Police seized close to 50 pounds of drying marijuana, close to 500 marijuana plants, several firearms, more than $7,000 in cash, a pickup truck and an ATV from the large indoor grow operation, while a small secret lab to manufacture butane honey oil was also discovered, according to an RCMP media advisory. The search warrant was executed at

around 10 a.m. on Abel Road near 105 Mile by an investigation team comprised of RCMP members from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Kamloops and the Lower Mainland. The property had one medicinal marijuana licence, which police believe was used to

Sometime between June 14 and 19, unknown culprits stole several items from a boat that was parked at a property on Dunsmuir Road in Lac la Hache. The articles stolen include the Mercruiser Brand leg from an inboard engine, the hydraulic lifts for the leg, the propeller and a fish-finder. The value of loss is estimated to be $5,000.

HORSE LK./LONE BUTTE

watch

The Lone Butte Walking Club (LBWC) discovered a wonderful kilometre-long hiking trail, complete with excellent information signs and resting benches in the new Lone Butte subdivision called Wild Horse Acres on Baker Road. The Wild Horses Nature Trail is located not far from the Junction of Highway 24 and Highway 97. My wife, Gayle, and I went to walk the well-kept and gravelled paths last Sunday, read the informative and humourous signs. As fate would have it, we met the dedicated creators of this wonderful addition to the Lone Butte area. They were busy working, but still took time to give us a guided tour of their creation. Perhaps, as they said, because they

mistook us for government officials, but none the less, we have rarely met such a wonderful, polite, dedicated pair of individuals. I highly recommend this walk, just for the experience and to see the abundant wildlife, but be aware of the well-known Lone Butte predator – the mosquito – and don’t forget your repellent. To join the LBWC, call Chris at 250-395-2006.

Walt the Curber booted out of town ing with a curber – in terms of safety and putting their finances at risk. Bachynski says Walt and Longhurst are bringing a good message that has to get out and they’re doing a good job doing it. “The curbers of the world change the dynamics of selling cars for everybody. There’s no accountability ... dealerships like us have absolute accountability on what we sell and how we sell it. “Revenues for the government are collected from us and not necessarily from a curber.” Noting it’s not an epidemic, Bachynski says they get a few cases every year that someone comes in for repairs and then they get the bad news. “I can fix it but I can’t help anything else. It’s really unfortunate.”

Ken Alexander Free Press

Walt the Curber drove in to 100 Mile House with a friend on June 10, and after a three-minute conversation with Central GM owner Tom Bachynski, Walt was ushered out of town. Readers have likely seen Walt’s mugshot under a bold red warning to “Watch out for Walt!” in the 100 Mile House Free Press during the past year, or have read one of his many “Confessions of a Curber.” He was accompanied by Doug Longhurst, Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) learning and communication director, on this trip. Longhurst explains that Walt the Curber is part of a VSA promotional campaign to warn people about the dangers of deal-

The 28th Annual Watch Lake/Green Lake Fishing Derby on June 6-7 was a huge success, says key organizer Krista Vieira. Noting there was a really good turnout with 228 participants for this year’s event, she adds it was the biggest since 2009 when Vieira started organizing the two-day derby. Her husband, Migel, has been in charge of the pig roast over the years and 114 people enjoyed the Saturday night dinner. The top prize of $500 cash for the biggest fish went to Al Forster who reeled a 3 lb. 14 oz. rainbow trout out of Watch Lake. The $250 for the second biggest catch went to Ray Johnson who pulled a 2 lb. 14 oz. rainbow trout out of Green Lake. There were a lot of other prizes won on the weekend: • Youngest fishers – Alecia Nickles and Mya Wood • Oldest fisherman – Don de Witte • Oldest fisherwoman – Trish Gallagher • Farthest travelled – Robert Guenther from Edmonton

Al Foster received prizes for the biggest fish caught on Sunday at the Watch Lake/Green Lake Fishing Derby from organizer Krista Vieira on June 7. His 3 lb. 14.25 oz. rainbow trout was also the biggest fish at the derby and Foster went home $500 richer.

They perform unconventional works for electric bass, toy piano, trombone, clarinet, voice and piano, as well as non-traditional musical instruments.   These young composers have had tremendous success in their artistic careers, says key organizer Dennis Tupman. “The ingenuity and charm of their work has won the favour of audiences in cities around the world including Brazil, Holland, Argentina, the United States

for Grade 12 credits. Justin plans to complete the four-year course to obtain his Red Seal certificate. Marga Hausmann made the presentation on behalf of the club. Don Reynolds, with his daughter, Barbara Jean Ohrling, contributed an additional $1,000 for a second bursary in Jean’s name. This was awarded to Alisha Beyer of Forest Grove and 100 Mile House.

She is pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, which will take her first to Alberta for a four-year Bachelor of Science program. Canim Place thefts A gang of four individuals broke into six or seven homes along Canim Place on one night. They entered out of sight of the road through a window or by smashing their way in

with a heavy tool. Items of value, including firearms, were stolen. The four have since been arrested and charged.

gratefully accepted and can be dropped at the ADS room (go through the Fischer Place front door and turn right) by 4 p.m. on June 26. ADS is a program designed to meet the needs of adults who have long-term health problems, but are still able to live on their own or with a caregiver. If this person would like to get out and visit with others, or a caregiver needs a rest or time to do errands, this is a great program. There is plenty of socializing, outings, picnics, games, fitness sessions, and surprise events to keep life interesting for participants. The ADS program is available every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. A bus can pick folks up (within a predefined area) or caregivers and

friends can drop the participants off at the ADS office in Fischer Place. The program runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a nutritious lunch, afternoon snack and refreshments are served every day. Special needs are also accommodated. There is a courtyard on the sunny side of the building to sit out on warm summer days. The objectives of the program are to encourage and maintain independent and

healthy lifestyles and to help participants remain in their homes and communities as long as possible. It also gives tired caregivers much needed time to do errands and look after their own needs, knowing that their family member is well cared for. There is a very small fee to enrol in the program. For more information on this program, registration and fees, contact Liz at 250-395-7657.

Firefighters needed Fire chief Bob Felker says the department is short of personnel, especially at Hall #2 Canim Lake. Both firefighters and medical first responders are needed, women and men. Joining the fire department involves you with a great group of people, and provides training in skills most useful to life in the Cariboo. To find out more, contact Bob at 250-3972393, or drop by Hall #1 any Monday at 7 p.m. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Donri Heise and Jack Jenkins rowed in masters mixed doubles at the Lap the Lake Regatta in Vernon on June 13.

Rowers very competitive in Vernon

Eight South Cariboo Rowing Club (SCRC) members took part in their first regatta of the year, participating in the Lap the Lake Regatta in Vernon on June 13. The regatta featured a three-kilometre head race where competitors in quad, double and single sculls launched 15 seconds apart and their elapsed time for the race was recorded. Cassidy Mellott and Cailey Mellott, and Courtney Cave and Tyra Van Osch, teamed up to row in the junior girls doubles. Donri Heise and Jack Jenkins rowed in masters mixed doubles. Aidan Fentiman rowed in a single scull. All teams were highly competitive, with the girls doubles finishing in a time of 18 minutes 41 seconds and 18 minutes 42 seconds, respectively. The mixed double pairing came in with a time of 17 minutes 30 seconds.

Fentiman crossed the finish in a time of 17 minutes 1 second. The afternoon featured a variety of 500-meter sprints, with Heise finishing first in her women’s single heat, ahead of Cassidy Mellott in second place, and Cailey Mellott in third. Heise and Jenkins finished second in the mixed double, one second ahead of Will and Tyra Van Osch. The junior girls teamed up in a quad

race, giving the two Simon Fraser University girls quads a run for their money, while the Jenkins, Heise, W. Van Osch, and Fentiman mixed quad finished second to the Kelowna Rowing Club. Next up on the regatta circuit for the SCRC are two races in Burnaby Lake - the Midsummer Madness two-kilometre sprint races on June 27, followed by the Cascadia Masters Championship on July 18-19.

Flag flying at half mast stolen

Fire chief Ken Gisby is extremely disappointed someone stole the Canadian Flag from the 40-foot pole in front of the Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department on June 20. Noting the $300 flag was only 10 days old, Gisby says whoever stole it would have to have a pretty large pole to fly it. However, what really irks him is the fact that the flag was flying at half mast. We were flying it at half mast because one of our female firefighters had recently passed away from cancer, Gisby explains. “There are so many people out here who are so distressed about who in their right mind would steal a six- by 12-foot flag, which was flying at half mast because one of our volunteers has passed away.” The fire chief says he would like whoever took to bring it back and put in on the recycle box in front of the fire hall – no questions asked. “I don’t think they realized what a halfmast flag is all about. Just bring it back. In due respect to our fallen firefighter, we would like that flag returned and we’ll put it back up.

MCINTOSH

William Duncan (Bill) October 29, 1949 June 8, 2015 It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Bill: husband, father, grandfather, uncle, son, brother & best friend. Bill fought a valiant fight with cancer but unfortunately succumbed to this terrible disease, with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his parents, Jim and Eva and is survived by his devoted and loving family: his wife Julie, daughters Kara (Jason), Kyla (Chris), and son Shawn (Tara), grandchildren Jakob, Aiden, Emma, Elisha, Shannon, Logan, sister-in-law and husband, Kelly & Dan, nephews Troy (Carlye), Curtis and niece Carissa, his steadfast amazing buddy “Jack” along with many other friends and of course his loyal companions Peg & Sam. Bill liked to cook and put his own “flair” into his creations, he loved the outdoors, music, gardening, fishing, four wheeling and just generally “mucking about” on his property and taking care of his animals. Bill was very non-materialistic, content with what he had and just loved life in general, which is ironic because he used to say “Life’s a Bitch and then you Die!” He was a very kind and caring man who had a real soft spot for his grandchildren. His dry wit and sense of humour will be missed by many. Bill read and retained a lot; you wouldn’t want to challenge him in a game of trivia, especially in the subjects of history and geography. A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends on July 25, 2015 4 pm at Bill’s cherished “Ruth Lake” park. Bill’s family wishes to express their gratitude to Dr.’s Geerts and Klopper as well as the hospital staff for the care and support they provided for Bill and his family through this difficult time. Please consider sparing others’ suffering by donating to the BC Cancer Foundation. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Rock on Bill! 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Ask an Expert: The dos and don’ts of backyard fire pits Once a rarity, fire pits have grown increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more homeowners turn their homes into private oases. Fire pits run the gamut from the very simple to the more elaborate, and the fire pits homeowners choose often depend on the space they have available as well as their budgets. But even homeowners without any space or budget constraints should give careful consideration to which fire pit they ultimately install, especially if they plan to make that installation themselves. The following are some dos and don’ts of fire pits for those homeowners about to add this relaxing and popular accessory to their backyards.

DON’T proceed with the project until you have been granted official approval. Assuming you have the go-ahead to build a fire pit is not the same thing as knowing you have been approved. DO build on flat ground. The fire pit should be built on flat ground to reduce risk of accident and/or injury. A fire pit built on flat ground also means everyone can enjoy it comfortably and equally once the project is finished. DON’T build near flammable structures. Build the fire pit far enough away from existing structures, such as your home, garage or shed, so flickering flames do not catch some wind and lead to disaster. DO choose the right size. The size of your fire pit will depend on the space you have available, but even if you have a vast swath of space, keep in mind that professional contractors typically recommend building a fire pit no bigger than 44 inches wide. DON’T go it alone if your DIY skills are suspect. Installing a fire pit is a relatively inexpensive DIY job, but that does not mean anyone can do it. Ground needs to be excavated and the slope of the yard must be measured so the fire pit is safe and functional for years to come. If your DIY skills are not up to snuff, hire a professional contractor so your backyard oasis does not become a costly headache. A fire pit can turn a boring backyard into a relaxing retreat. But homeowners must adhere to the dos and don’ts of fire pits to ensure their retreat is something they can enjoy for years to come.

What should I know as a first-time homebuyer?

• Determine what you can afford. Before you put in an offer on a home, get a preapproval and build a realistic budget. Remember that home ownership involves costs beyond the monthly mortgage payment such as utility bills, house insurance, property taxes and upkeep. • You need a minimum of 5% for a downpayment. This can be sourced from: - A gift from an immediate family member - A savings or term investment deposited for a minimum of 90 days - Any recent financial windfall (inheritance or income tax return, for examples) - A non-locked in RSP (opened for 90 days; withdrawn tax free and must be repaid within generally 15 years) - Borrowed downpayment on approved credit (personal loan or line of credit, for examples) • Plan for closing costs. There are additional costs that come with buying a home – lawyer fees, reimbursements, land tax adjustments, house insurance and perhaps a home inspection. You’ll need to have some extra funds set aside to cover these costs; a general guideline is 1.5% of the purchase price. Although mortgage debt is “smart” debt, buying your first home is a huge stepping stone and is one of the most important financial decisions that you will make in your lifetime. Contact me with any questions!

Q: Why does it take more than one visit? A: The short answer is “because your pain took

more than one injury to start.” Sometimes people feel substantially better after their first treatment; however, as I’ve talked about before, most pain that people seek treatment for is due to an accumulation of micro trauma and usually not a single event. By micro trauma I mean several small injuries which at the time are inconsequential but eventually become the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a classic example of this. Not only is there the accumulated micro trauma to deal with but our bodies are incredibly adaptive to the demands we place on them, as a consequence usually your body has to readapt to the way things are supposed to be. There is no magic bullet that a chiropractor can deliver to remove all your pain instantly, we can only help your body get to the state where it is able to heal. Provided by Dr. Andrew Hatch

I have been reviewing the mutual funds that are listed in the top for performance over the past few months, should I switch all my existing funds to these “hot” picks?

Lists of top-performing mutual funds are hard to ignore when you’re looking to invest. Reports of soaring returns, impressive gains by managers and the hottest sectors and asset classes entice the most stalwart investors and advisers. But does it make sense to invest in today’s winners? Absolutely not, say experts and analysts. Building a portfolio that meets your objectives and risk tolerance is not easy, planning based on common sense, discipline and time are the most important factors to investing. We would all like to make a consistent 10 per cent, however in today’s investing environment it’s not a realistic goal. A good return is about 6 per cent, which comes with solid, long-term investments. Please read the applicable Fund Fact Sheet before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Mutual fund products are offered through Investia Financial Services Inc.

Canada Revenue Agency has re-assessed the returns which I have filed for the past 3 years. They are clearly ignoring all of my documents. They claim that I owe $600,000 in taxes, interest and penalties. What can I do?

A: What can the taxpayer do to fight an unfair tax assessment? Tax matters

are complex and, very often, it is very difficult - and expensive - to challenge a CRA reassessment. There is an internal procedure within the CRA itself which can be used to challenge a reassessment. In addition, we have the Tax Court system. The problem with the Tax Court system, however, is that significant damage can be caused to the taxpayer by a reassessment which is unfairly and negligently conducted. The relatively recent case of Leroux (cob. Leroux Holdings) v Canada Revenue Agency [2014 BCJ No. 780] was a case where Mr. Leroux alleged serious misconduct by CRA. He claims that he is now destitute as a result of liens placed against his RV park by CRA in its efforts to collect on a tax assessment which was eventually overturned as a result of his appeals. At this stage, we can say that Mr. Leroux has won a battle but lost the war. He made history when the court said that CRA does have a duty to conduct its work carefully and to avoid negligent reassessments - and the taxpayer has the right to sue CRA in BC Supreme Court to be compensated for his damages. At this stage, however, the historic decision has been of little help to him because the court has decided that, in Mr. Leroux’s case, CRA did exercise appropriate care. Mr. Leroux has appealed that result. As a result of the Leroux case, we can say that an unfair $600,000 tax assessment can be set aside. We can even say that the taxpayer can sue CRA for damages caused by an unfair assessment. Unfortunately, we must also keep in mind that the fight will not be easy.

Can I move my license plates between multiple vehicles that I own?

Only in certain circumstances The only time that you can take a plate from one of your vehicles and put it on a vehicle that you are purchasing, is if you have sold the original vehicle and have a copy of the transfer form with you as proof. Having said that, the vehicles must be the same type. For example if you have sold a pickup and are purchasing a car, you cannot use the pickup plate on the car. Please also be aware that you can only do this for a maximum period of 10 days. This is to enable you to attend your Insurance office and complete the transfer of insurance For that period of 10 days, the coverage’s on the vehicle you are purchasing will be the same as the coverage’s that were on the vehicle that you have sold. This is to enable you to attend your Insurance office and complete the transfer of insurance. Please note that these procedures also apply to trailers. Any questions, please give either of our offices a call.
