The new academic year in British Columbia will see an enhanced focus on Aboriginal history and the lasting legacy of Canada’s notorious residential school system. The B.C. Liberal government says the curriculum changes are in response to the “calls to action” in the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Students will study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colonialism. “With education comes positive change,” says Peter Fassbender, minister of education, in a news release. “Through the revised curriculum, we will be promoting greater understanding, empathy and respect for Aboriginal history and culture among students and their families.” In this region, schools have already taken some major steps toward reconciliation with their First Nations neighbours, says School District #27 (SD27) schools superintendent Mark Thiessen. During this past school year, more than a dozen Grade 5 teachers and four Grade 10 teachers from SD27 piloted a new curriculum related to the legacy of residential schools in Canada, he adds.

New brewmaster setting up Kevin Grinyer given thumbs up from council for microbrewery
Ken Alexander Free Press
Kevin Grinyer’s quest to open a local microbrewery made it over the first hurdle when the District of 100 Mile House council unanimously adopted a zoning bylaw amendment on June 19. No concerns were voiced by council, area businesses or the general public throughout the process, which began at the June 9 council meeting. Mayor Mitch Campsall says he was pleased to see the
amendment go through so smoothly. “Everybody is in support of it. It’s something new in the community, and it’s great when you see local people – and he’s been here all his life – do something like this. “I think they’ll do a great job and I’m excited to see it up and running. It’s always nice to see new business.” Grinyer says he expects it will take about three to four months of jumping through the provincial hoops and getting the essential paperwork completed.
He notes some breweries have completed the process in three months, but that’s the exception to the rule. Grinyer says he is looking forward to getting started on what he calls a “nanobrewery.” He will be setting up shop in the old 100 Miler Gear Garage, which will provide plenty of room for the startup. Grinyer says there will be a tasting area, and he will be providing “growlers,” which are reusable containers that people can bring back for refills, bottles
and eventually kegs. He hope to start setting up the brewery later this month because it’s an important step in getting a licence. “You have to be able to prove you’re functional before the inspector will approve the licence.” While the retailing aspect will be new to him and something he’ll have to learn as he goes along, brewing beer is the least of his concerns. “I’ve been home brewing for decades and I did it because of the enjoyment and cost savings.”
He says brewers learn a lot over time, including what works and what doesn’t work. It’s a refining process, he adds. Owning a brewery was “never on the radar” when he started home brewing. However, as the microbreweries started popping up all over the province, Grinyer says he started thinking it might be a good way to work into semi-retirement. Folks can follow his progress at Broke ‘N Rode Brewing Co. on Facebook.

Infrastructure project completed
EERS VOLUNT D NEEDeE r e r f e Mano
PRV will control water flow into the District’s low pressure zone
Ken Alexander Free Press
A $250,000 infrastructure project at the corner of Alpine Avenue and Fifth Street in 100 Mile House, which started on May 20, is completed except for paving, and that is expected to happen on July 16. Phil Strain, District of 100 Mile House director of operations, says an old Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) in a manhole in front of Super Save Gas on Alder Avenue had to be replaced because it wasn’t working. However, the manhole also had to be moved because it was a high-risk for District staff due to its confined entry, as well as being a traffic issue. Strain says they

Everyone worked hard when the concrete was poured for the curb and sidewalk on Fifth Street in 100 Mile House on June 26. This was one of the final stages of the $250,000 Pressure Reducing Valve and vault project (behind the three workers on the right) that will control water flow into the low pressure zone of the District.
installed a new PRV vault - two by four metres – on Fifth Street and the boulevard in front of the Cariboo Mall parking lot. The installation of the new PRV and all the inner workings was
completed on June 19 and the tie-ins to the water mains were done on June 22. Strain says they had to do that at night because they had to shut the water off – from around 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on June 23.
“The new vault is in; it’s operational and we [tested] it that morning. The supplier came up and made sure it was working properly with all the right pressures and no leaks, and everything was good.”
Family doctors introduce telehealth technology Long distances and challenging driving conditions can make it difficult for some patients in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region to get to their doctor’s office, so a group of physicians in the region is turning to telemedicine to ensure their patients have consistent access to a primary care provider. The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) and the First Nations Health Authority are working together to introduce telehealth technology, making it easier for some family physicians to provide ongoing care to their patients in rural and First Nations communities. “We know that having a primary care provider can mean better health for individuals, as well as communities,” says Health
Minister Terry Lake. “Tailoring community solutions for greater accessibility to primary care, especially in rural and remote locations, like the [CIRDFP] has done in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, strengthens our health-care system as a whole.” Telemedicine is just one of the strategies being implemented by the CIRDFP as part of A GP for Me. A GP for Me is a joint initiative of the province and Doctors of BC that aims to improve access to primary care across the province and help more British Columbians who want a primary care provider to find one. “The results of a community assessment in 2014 showed that patients who are particularly vulnerable – First Nations, people
with mental health challenges, and the frail elderly – are having a difficult time getting access to quality primary care,” says Dr. Bruce Nicolson, Physician Lead for the A GP for Me initiative. “We really listened to what our community members, stakeholders, physicians and health-care providers had to say and we believe our resulting programs will strengthen primary care services.” The CIRDFP’s strategies, which are being introduced include: • Improved access to primary care through Telehealth services in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, developed in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority will start with a group of six Continued on A6
The PRV is important because it reduces the water pressure when it flows down from the 99 Mile Water Tower. “The water from 99 Mile tower, because of its elevation above the town, by the time it gets down to Fifth Avenue is at 140 pounds per square inch (psi). “When it goes through the PRV, it comes out at 45 psi, which is normal.” Strain says the main function of the PRV is controlling the fire flow in the low pressure zone area in the District. “If there’s a fire in the low pressure zone and the fire department opens up a couple of hydrants, the PRV will open up and allow more water through.” Bree Contracting Ltd. of 100 Mile House, which did the project, started preparing for curbing and sidewalk mid-week and poured cement on June 26, Strain says, adding all that’s left is the paving to complete the project.

Fences help ranchers, protect motorists C A N A D A D AY Province adds $4 million to livestock fencing program through 2017
Free Press
The government of British Columbia is extending a program that keeps one of the province’s oldest industries safe and viable. A new $4-million investment will extend the existing Provincial Livestock Fencing Program through two more years until the end of 2017. Todd Stone, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister and MLA for KamloopsSouth Thompson, and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett made the announcement on green ranch land north of 100 Mile House near a recently erected livestock fence running adjacent to Highway 97, some of the total 650 kilometres of fencing in B.C. built since the program’s inception in 2010. The current funding commitment totalled $10 million and ends in 2015. The new investment is expected to help build an additional 250 km of fencing. The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association (BCCA) received applications for more than 2,000 km of fencing, so the need

Barnett made it clear that she would continue to lobby the government to extend the program past 2017. The infrastructure funding is part of B.C. on the Move, the province’s 10-year transportation plan.

is clearly there, Stone said on June 25. “The B.C. government is happy to continue its partnership with the BCCA to deliver this program with benefits to drivers and the ranching community. This fencing program is keeping cattle and other livestock off our highways, improving safety for all motorists.”
Kevin Boon, BCCA general manager, said a survey by the organization showed close to a 50 per cent reduction of cattle and traffic conflict on the fenced highways since the program started. “We can expect these fences to last 35 to 40 years.” The ranching industry has had some tough times over the past few
years, but is on the rebound, Boon added. “It has the spinoff benefits of rural development and support for the small towns. It’s time for us to rebuild our industry again. There’s no better way than turning the sunshine and grass into protein we can utilize, and to help make sure the public is safe as well.”
100 Mile project kicked off
The District of 100 Mile House is launching a process to update both the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw. The two bylaws will be updated to align with council’s and the community’s values, aspirations and perspectives for growth within the District. The public launch will take place in July and will be linked to the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of 100 Mile House. Planning ahead for the next 50 years will be integrated into the events planned for Centennial Park during the week of July 19-26. The Arlington Group Planning + Architecture Inc. has been retained to work with District planner Joanne Doddridge. An advisory committee of 100 Mile House residents representing diversity of backgrounds and offering a wealth of experience will assist the District. The project will feature two main elements: OCP update • Prepared in 2006, the OCP sets the general direction for development and establishes policies for land use in 100 Mile House. • Community support is critical to the success of an OCP. There will be a number of opportunities for the community to help develop and contribute
to the OCP, including a dedicated project webpage on the District website. • Once adopted, the updated OCP will help ensure decisions from different District departments are aligned and working towards a common direction. Zoning Bylaw • The Zoning Bylaw regulates land use for every property within the District’s boundaries. • It acts as a vehicle to implement the principles identified in the OCP, as well as address important community issues. • The Zoning Bylaw needs to be technically sound, provide clarity and be user-friendly for District administration, council, the development community, businesses and residents. The OCP update and Zoning Bylaw re-writes are expected to be completed by the end of 2015. Regular project updates will be provided on the District’s website and additional public engagement opportunities will occur this fall. For more information, visit the project website: http://www.100milehouse.com/ocp-zoning-update/ or contact the District of 100 Mile House planner Joanne Doddridge at 250-395-2434 or by e-mail at jdoddridge@dist100milehouse.bc.ca.

‘Weed-busters’ ready for combat significant costs to repair damage done by invasive species, which are also a nuisance at gravel pits as they can be easily spread when roads are being built. The announcement was timely as the provincial government declared June as Invasive Species Action Month. Invasive species are a big problem in B.C, Barnett noted.
Gaven Crites Free Press
Nine area residents are getting work experience with a new program combating invasive plants at hundreds of sites in the British Columbia Interior throughout the summer and fall. The provincial government, in partnership with the Invasive Species Council of British Columbia (ISCBC), is providing nearly $300,000 in Job Creation Partnership funding to help “weedbusters” in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Kamloops. In the Cariboo, the targeted weeds are very much impacting recreation and the cattle industry, said project manager Dave Ralph, who was one of the close to two dozen people in attendance when Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone made the funding announcement on ranch land at 108 Mile

on June 25. “The concern with invasive plants is they have a profound impact on the economy and resources of the province,” Ralph added. “Those weed species dramatically reduce available grazing forage, not only for domestic
livestock, but for grazing wildlife as well.” Some of the weed species being primarily targeted throughout the six-month program are spotted knapweed, burdock, dalmatian toadflax and sulphur cinquefoil. “Invasive species are one of those unique
things that don’t belong to anybody, but belong to us all,” said Gail Wallin, ISCBC executive director. “They don’t only hurt us economically, but they hurt us environmentally.” Over the course of the project, which ends
in December, the participants are expected to treat approximately 200 sites for invasive species and also deliver invasive species awareness seminars to 60 community organizations and 60 schools. Government and private landowners incur

“Two years ago, we were a significant partner in bringing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to Williams Lake. As part of this experience, St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School commemoration events included the erection of two memorial monuments in Williams Lake and at the former residential school site.” SD27 has also been a significant partner in initiating and
recognizing Orange Shirt Day, which occurs annually in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House every Sept. 30, Thiessen notes. “Orange Shirt Day recognizes the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and well-being, and is an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.” While primarily directed at the federal government, the Truth and Reconciliation
report includes many recommendations the B.C. government can address, including education. Given the harsh and longlasting impacts of the residential school system, reconciliation was never going to be easy, says John Rustad, minister of Aboriginal relations and reconciliation, in a news release. “But our commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal People is unwavering and we are making significant progress.”
partnering with other health and community service organizations will allow us to make a significant improvement in the level and quality of care available to patients in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.”

Commemorative pins available for 50th anniversary
Folks will want to get them while there’s still some left Ken Alexander Free Press
Commemorative pins have been produced for the Welcome Home 50th Anniversary of the District of 100 Mile House, which takes place July 18-26. District planner Joanne Doddridge says the pins were based on the logo, which was designed by the 100 Mile House Free Press. Noting there are not many places locally that can make pins, she says they were produced in Ontario. “We worked with them to make the design have the same look and feel as the logo.”

Administrative assistant summer student Taylor Blades is among the friendly staff at the District of 100 Mile House office selling 50th Anniversary commemorative pins for $2. They are emblazoned with a bright green and golden Welcome Home logo designed by the 100 Mile House Free Press.
Doddridge says they only purchased 1,000 pins, so folks will want to get them quickly. The pins are available now, so people can go to

“ They’re very reasonably priced and we think they are going to be very popular. People, who have seen them already, seemed to really like them “We had a committee meeting recently and we showed the committee members the pins, and they couldn’t hand over their two dollars fast enough.” Doddridge notes that during the 50th Anniversary celebrations, the District will have a tent or a booth in Centennial Park, and whenever they’re in the booth or tent, they will make the pins available. “That is if we have any left, which is a big ‘if ’ at the end.” After the week-long celebration is over, she says they will continue to sell the pins at the District office and perhaps at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre
if there are any left. “We’re hoping to reserve a few to give as special little gifts to our presenters and dignitaries who are going to be in town.”

Business suffering from trade barriers
I
t is an embarrassing state of affairs when many small businesses report that North-South trade with the United States is easier than East-West trade within Canada. However, this is nothing new. It was such a big concern when the North American Free Trade Agreement was coming into force more than two decades ago that the provinces put in place the Agreement on Internal Trade. Unfortunately, that agreement has been a colossal failure. Fast forward to today and the prospects of a trade deal with Europe is shining a spotlight on our domestic dysfunction. Do we want it to be easier for Canadian businesses to trade with other countries than other provinces? Well, of course not. But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Canada’s provincial and
federal governments can overwhelming majority – deliver a better outcome nine out of 10 – of Canada’s than last time around. small businesses want the There are some reasons premiers to make free trade for optimism.

GUEST SHOT
he battle to save our countryside from invasive plants has been going on for decades in British Columbia, and the fight has intensified in recent years as the foreign plants have quickly spread their tendrils and seeds. These plants have been introduced to B.C. through garden stores for landscaping or as medicinal plants from foreign countries. They have no natural pests or pathogens to keep them in check, so they encroach on hectares upon hectares of land – whether it’s in our forests, grassland, hayfields, or along our highways and in our urban countryside. Once invasive plants grab a foothold, they are incredibly difficult to kill off. However, these invasive plants have also been unwittingly spread by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure by using gravel from pits that were contaminated by these foreign weeds. The seeds were taken with the gravel and spread along the shoulders of the highways or for road building and repairs. From there, these weeds were spread throughout the district and into ranchers’ fields, grasslands and countryside ditches. The ministry is pouring millions of dollars into reducing the spread of the invasive species, especially those along roadways and in gravel pits Invasive plants are often colourful, so residents and visitors often mistakenly identify them as our native wildflowers, and that causes problems. For this reason, it was good to hear the provincial government’s June 25 announcement that it, in partnership with the Invasive Species Council of B.C., was pumping $300,000 into a job-creation program to fund nine “weed-busters” in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Kamloops. They are targeting invasive plants that are impacting the recreation and cattle industries. These include spotted knapweed, burdock, Dalmatian toadflax and sulphur cinquefoil – and they are likely growing our neighbourhoods. These weeds dramatically reduce available grazing forage for both cattle and wildlife by chocking off natural grass and taking control of hundreds of hectares of grassland. The recent job-creation project will see the participants treating about 200 sites for invasive species during the next six months. Equally important, however, is the fact they will be delivering invasive species awareness seminars to some 60 community organizations and schools. However, we, the residents of the area, can also help in the battle to stop the spread of weeds by increasing our knowledge and awareness of invasive plants. Go to the Cariboo Regional District’s website at www.cariboord.bc.ca/services/invasivespecies and click on CRD Invasive Plants. Then click on the invasive plants in our area and learn how to identify them and how to treat them.

proportions in terms of time and energy. Finally, the agreement will be simple, with a clear and effective dispute mechanism. International free trade agreements have thousands of pages where exceptions can hide, and copying that approach for Canada would be a mistake. We are at a crossroads where provincial leaders can decide to be ambitious and finally make Canada free. They will likely be tempted to focus on eliminating only some barriers. This would be a mistake. Only an ambitious deal will lead to the ambitious outcomes that Canada needs in the modern world. Canada turns 150 in 2017. I can think of no better birthday present for the country than to deliver a real trade agreement that unites us in creating new opportunities.

Liberals promise more help for Canadian families
To the editor: Raising a child to age 18 is estimated to take over $230,000, and that’s before the cost of post-secondary education. Over the past 30 years, median after-tax family incomes – middle class – have increased by less than half a percentage point per year on average. Current federal programs to support families are quite a hodgepodge Some are tied to income levels; some are not. Some are taxable;
some are not. The Harper government’s most recent tax breaks make the situation worse. They provide the biggest benefits to the wealthiest households, but nothing for those in greatest need. The Liberal Party believes middle-class Canadians, and all those working so hard just to get there, deserve more. By rolling all the current support programs together, topping them up with money saved by reducing government waste, and
then targeting benefits to lowerand middle-income households, we can create a new and better “Canada Child Benefit” (CCB). It would provide a lot more help, indexed to inflation and completely tax free, to nine out of 10 families. For the lowest income households (below $30,000 annually), the Liberal CCB would pay $6,400 per year for every child under the age of six, and $5,400 per year for every child over six but under 18. That adds up to hundreds of
Graduation weekend impressive To the editor: A couple of weeks ago, I attended my grandson’s high school graduation. It was a very impressive, well organized, two-day performance. I would like to congratulate the organizers and all of the residents in your city and surrounding communities for the input and the time and moneys spent to give the graduates a good send-off to their respective future jobs and employment. I was impressed to see so many local groups
and organizations contributing to the scholarships of which my grandson was a recipient. The graduation ceremony was well run and certainly the speakers gave very well-received addresses. The Saturday parade was certainly one of the highlights. The weather co-operated and there were so many modes of transportation for the graduates and escorts, giving the onlookers many chances to show their appreciation. The volunteers are to
be thanked for their part in meeting the needs of the people requiring extra help – wheelchairs for the lengthy walk in the arena to their seats, bottles of water to quench their thirst and direction to seating to suit their needs. As an outsider coming to this service, I feel the entire community deserves a great deal of praise and congratulations for a graduation performance not soon to be forgotten. Shirley Ehlers Salmon Arm
dollars more per child each year than what’s currently available. The amounts per child would gradually taper downward at higher incomes. A typical family with two children (one over six, one under six) and a household income of $90,000 would get $5,875 annually – more than $2,500 better than under existing programs. If that same family makes $140,000, they would get $3,125 per year – over $1,000 better. Our plan is progressive and fair
because it’s linked to income levels. It’s good economics because it’s efficient and transparent in putting more dollars in the hands of middle- and lower-income households. By providing more help to parents with the high cost of raising children, the Liberal Party’s CCB will be a powerful improvement in fighting poverty, bolstering the middle class and driving growth. Ralph Goodale, deputy leader Liberal Party of Canada
Bees important to agriculture
To the editor: I wonder how much support there would be locally for a ban on cosmetic pesticides. I know that a few provinces and many municipalities have banned the chemicals. A ban is before Kamloops city council right now. One reason for a ban is the damage these pesticides appear to be doing to the bee population. Bees are responsible for one-third of all food eaten on the planet. Without bees we would all be in a lot of trouble. In the Ranchettes, we have two local beekeepers, and this year, their bees have fertilized the best apple crop for years. We live in a rural area where dandelions are a part of the
landscape. They provide the first food for the bees in the spring and who hasn’t received a bouquet from a toddler who thinks they are absolutely beautiful. Perhaps we could have a dis-
cussion on the subject to see how the population feels on this subject. Cecile Pratt Lower Ranchettes 100 Mile House
Green Party not left wing To the editor: People think the Green Party of Canada is a left-wing party, but this is a mistake. The Green’s economic policy is more ethically “True Blue” than Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s. If you are a staunch Conservative who is dismayed with what Mr. Harper has done to Conservative values and the Conservative party, then you
really owe it to yourself to take a good, hard look at Green economic policy. Green Party of Canada Leader Elizabeth May believes in the power of the market and is more the true successor to the mantle of John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark than Mr. Harper ever was. Leo Young Vernon

he man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics. When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of United States politics. HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding. HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him, has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week. “We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a rightwing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”
Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with precampaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates. NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House. The big difference between the precampaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else. Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Wounded bear put down on North Shore NELSON - A wounded bear dragging its hind legs was put out of its misery on the North Shore by RCMP Saturday (June 20) afternoon. “It looks like somebody shot it with a crossbow. The conservation officer had been looking for the bear and then it was located near Ridgewood Road," Staff Sgt. Leanne Tuchscherer told the Star. "We heard reports that it was dragging its two hind legs. It had been shot the night previous by a crossbow." Tuchscherer said a member of the RCMP then shot the bear. Any further investigation will be done by the conservation officer. North Shore resident Ron Welwood called this incident a "senseless killing". He reported being outside when he heard three gun shots, followed by four more a short while later. "I saw a very large light brown black bear sauntering through my backyard about two days prior to the incident and my first reaction was that I hoped it was not the victim of those shots I heard." He said the incident is alarming. Vandals break into SORCO, kill rats used for food OSOYOOS - Why? That’s what volunteers at the South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls (SORCO) are asking in the wake of a disturbing case of vandalism recently. Manager Dale Belvedere reported that someone broke into the centre on June 6 or 7 and poisoned rats used to feed their birds of prey. “We have no idea why. We have all been banging our heads against the wall as to why.” The culprit forced open the front gate and entered the food centre where rats are raised as live food for the raptors. Two days later most of the rats were found dead. Belvedere said a pathology test confirmed that the rats died from a poisonous substance. None of the birds were injured, but Belvedere said their mascot “Houdini” exhibited some side effects that may have been the result of eating one of the poisoned rats.

The main problem is they do these things without proper consultation. I am upset they logged at Eakin Creek and totally ruined a beautiful area without asking area residents, and it has a lot of history.

The owner of the pickup truck, a 61-year-old Williams Lake man, was reportedly in serious condition following the collision. Police say he attempted to jump back in the driver’s seat as the truck started to roll backward, but he fell to the ground and was pulled under the truck and run over by the moving vehicle.

AGE-FRIENDLY team scores a big win
tional thank-you to Tom Bachynski of Central GM for going the extra mile to arrange the bus, which is available for charter from the 100 Mile House Wranglers.” She adds there was a lot of interest by the seniors who each expressed their appreciation and enjoyment of this event.
Ken Alexander Free Press
Lea Smirfitt, South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative community coordinator, says the road trip to the Interlakes on June 24 was a fabulous success. Forty-five community elders boarded the 100 Mile House Wranglers bus at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre at 10 a.m. and headed off to the Interlakes for a visit. They were joined by an additional van carrying residents from Carefree Manor. The caravan headed down Horse Lake Road to the Interlakes Community Center where several volunteers from the Interlakes Community Association (ICA) had prepared a delicious lunch for the crowd of 70 people, which also included local residents, Smirfitt says. They were welcome by ICA members Pam Canty and Gyl Connaty, Smirfitt adds. “Gyl gave an overview of the centre, including a tour of the industrial kitchen

Call 250-395-5155 for further information. While there, the seniors shared many stories, including one from Willy Seminoff who recalled installing a furnace in the original Roe Lake Hall 25 years ago, she adds.
Smirfitt acknowledged and thanked the Interlakes folks for their gracious hospitality. She also thanked Darrel Warman who coordinated the trip together with several Interlakes volunteers. Following lunch, they hopped back on the bus and toured local resorts – Sheridan Park Resort, Loon Bay Resort and Sheridan Lake Resort. Local history and background information was provided by Mieke

Elementary school students enjoy trips Teacher helps grades 5-7 kids learn about local history
By Doris E Rufli In the fall of 2014, Heather Greenhalgh arrived at the Forest Grove Elementary School to fill a newly created teaching position due to school expansion. In the spring 2015, she realized her students (grades 5, 6 and 7) did not know much about the extensive history of the community they are living in and decided to organize walk-abouts. Together with local historian and writer, Marianne Van Osch, she hatched a plan to visit sites of historic interest throughout Forest Grove. On May 12, their first outing took them to 4514 Eagle Creek Rd. to experience the mounting of a plaque, commemorating the old teacherage built in 1951. Current owner, Sheri-Lyn Wilson, has lived there with her dog Nikita for the past 10 years and says apart from maintenance work

and a small addition, the house stands as built several decades ago. Two more historical expeditions have since taken place. One took the group up Shaw Road and Auld Drive to visit the local cemetery, with graves dating back more than 100 years. This visit involved reading the information posted at the entrance, as well as exploring the site independently, a task the students accomplished with dignity and respect. The third walk-about took students and teacher to the original Forest Grove Lodge and Store along Eagle Creek Road,
where its heritage and significance for the area were discussed. Again, the students explored the area individually, before returning to the classroom and had more lively deliberations about the history of Forest Grove. Some questions raised during those excursions were about the local environment, and Greenhalgh is looking into expanding her students’ knowledge of indigenous trees and plants, as well as related topics when classes resume in the fall. Doris E Rufli is the Forest Grove correspondent.

108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108MR VFD) members had a successful garage sale on June 6. The bake sale was well received and the 108 Lions served breakfast. The event brought in $700 to help the fire department’s operation. The winners of the raffle were Junior Firefighter, Max (last
name unavailable), 108 Mile Ranch; Warm Heat, Dave Nendick, 100 Mile House; and Smokin Hot, John Maxwell, Green Lake. Organizers did a great job of putting the garage sale together. Firefighter retires 108MRVFD firefighter Jack Capnerhurst has retired after 25-plus years with the department. Thank you Jack for your great service to the community and we wish you a happy retirement. Lions club news The 108 Mile Lions Club had a successful year and the Lions would like to thank all the residents who sup-
ported the bingo nights that were held at the 108 Mile Community Hall during the 2014-15 season. The proceeds from the bingo events enabled the Lions to donate $1,500 to the Mile 108 Elementary School. Because of the donation, the school was able to provide two $500 bursaries, as well as responding to local requests for donations. The Lions Club decided to apply for another bingo licence for the coming year because of the past season’s support. Hopefully, the bingo nights will begin during the month of September. Dates will be advertised as soon as they are confirmed.

FAST bytes LADIES TOURNEY Spots are still available for the 31st Annual Pud Griffin Ladies Tournament on July 10-12. The fun annual event draws dozens of golfers from all over British Columbia to the 108 Golf Resort. The theme this year is “tacky tourist”. Cost is $140, which includes two rounds of golf, dinner, deuce pots and prizes. To register, contact the pro shop at 250791-5212. 100 Mile House's U14 squad, coached by Casey Hall, is ready to host the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup (U13-U15), July 9-12.

Young squad has real talent
Gaven Crites Free Press
Coach Casey Hall's expectations are simple: score goals and play as a team the best they can. While members of the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association have been busy preparing for the upcoming Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup (U13-U15), players on the local U14 host squad have been busy too. And they're about to get busier as extra practices are slated every week now leading into the provincial tournament, which is drawing 24 teams from around British Columbia to the Soccer Park in 100 Mile House for eight team round robins leading to single elimination knockout matches, July 9-12. There are a lot of nerves and excitement around
100 Mile House's squad, which has played only a handful of competitive games together in the Cariboo Youth Soccer League this season. The teams pushing through at the provincial level are usually more experienced ones that have larger numbers of players to choose from, have tryouts, and make cuts, Hall explains. 100 Mile House is a smaller, younger squad in comparison. However, there's a lot of “real talent” up front in 100 Mile House's striker and midfield positions, the coach adds. “I'm hoping they'll be able to put some more balls in the net for us. We have to play defensively minded, play a safe style of play. But, like I say, we do have some real talent, talent that would be talent anywhere in this province. I'm hoping they'll be
able to put some points up.” With respect to how he'll measure the team's success in the tournament, in which 100 Mile is likely to match up against some equally talented and more experienced teams, Hall says he wants to see the boys score in every match they play, and win at least one game at the provincial level, while giving it their all. “I know it sounds cliché,” he says. “But that's what I want to see out of the boys – they're very best.” The U14 roster includes: Wylon Hall, Cameron Ardiel, Dylan Carr, Pete Peterson, Adam Sullivan, Tyson Fitzgerald, Jake Cuttler, Hayden Prodnuk, Noah Dykstra, Josh Hutchins, Nigel Swann, Lee Machete, Dylan Newhook, Ryan Grant and Cory Mapson.
Forman to skate for Minot State University Two years of hockey in Saskatchewan is leading to four more in North Dakota for a big local blueliner. Reece Forman, 20, a 6 foot 2, 200-plus pound defencemen, is suiting up for the Minot State University Beavers next season and studying criminal justice on a partial scholarship. Forman played for the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 2013 to 2015. He tallied two goals and 20 assists from the point last season and six
points in the playoffs. Forman, who wants to join the RCMP after completing his post secondary education, was offered partial scholarships by seven post secondary institutions and settled on Minot State in part because his former Nipawin Hawks captain is also playing hockey there, and his billet sister from Saskatchewan is heading there too, he explains. “The school seemed really good. I'm pretty excited. A lot of it is schooling, but it's excit-

Second place went to the Psalm 23 staff team, followed by the Psalm 23 students team. The event raised $3,000 for Psalm 23 Transition Society's Village of Hope, a 59 Mile area rehabilitation facility for men who may be homeless or battling addiction. “We thank all who participated and the many, many donors, and want them to understand how important their part was," says Psalm 23 Transition Society executive director Marvin Declare. "We also owe a debt of gratitude to Theo, Jeff, Andy and the staff at the 108 Resort for hosting our event over the 10 days, along with the Psalm 23 students, who put in such a great effort and worked so hard."

Soccer championships set to roll in 100 Mile Coach hopes to attract talented players to host North Central zones
100 Mile House was recently awarded a high school boys regional soccer championship set to take place in the fall. Peter Skene Ogden
Secondary School (PSO) was granted the North Central zones, kicking off Oct. 30-31, at a North Central District Athletics Association meeting on June 23.
The school is already slated to host the girls championships in May 2016. A majority of the games will be played at the Soccer Park in 100 Mile House, but PSO home games during school days will be played at the school to get a good crowd and school spirit going, says teacher and coach Sean Glanville.
Sean Glanville
"I think it's been quite a while since PSO has hosted a zone championship tournament for
one of the major sports. For us to be hosting two in the same year will be phenomenal for both our soccer programs and the soccer community here in 100 Mile House." The boys didn't have a soccer team last year because of the teacher strike. Next fall, the boys will start practices basically the first day back to school in early
Golfers play with great camaraderie Warm sunshine blessed the 108 Golf Resort when over two dozen 108 Ladies Club members played 18 holes for the Dorothy Olive Franklin Memorial and also the back nine for regular competition of low gross, low net, closest to the pin and long drives on June 23. Carol Ohlund, Annie McKave, Judy Scarrow and Cathy Waite made birdies. Sue Pinkerton shot closest to the pin in the third flight. The longest drives on No. 17 were hit by Shelley Larson in the first flight, Shannon Knapp in the second and Angela Batalha in the third flight. Annie McKave shot lowest gross in the first flight, followed Deb Case and Shelley Larson. Lowest net was Ohlund, followed by Waite and Char Wahnschaff. The second flight saw Joanne Garrow fire lowest gross, with Maureen Menzies in second and Ann Pinkney third. Batalha scored lowest net in the second flight, followed by Lavern Martin and Leslie Bell.

CANADIAN TIRE FLYER
In the third flight, Pinkerton shot low gross, with Sharon Thompson second and Gloria Corno third. Pauline Weigelt shot lowest net in the third flight, followed by Debbie Garrow and Del Gunn. A special twist was added to the 108 Ladies Club round on June 16. Thirty-three golfers took part in a game of “Crystal Ball”, a fun game that creates great team camaraderie, at the 108 Golf Resort. Played in teams of four or five players, the game sees each player take a turn playing with the special crystal ball on different holes on the front nine, and calculate their net score for that hole. The best net score of the other three or four players is counted. Should the player hitting the crystal ball lose the ball at any time, the team is disqualified. The first place team
won by a single stroke with a total score of 65. The team included Weigelt, Waite, Corno and Gunn. The second place team (66) had Scarrow, Garrow, Batalha, Lorraine Scott and Lorraine McCaffrey. The third place team (69) included Lori Henderson, Garrow, Case and Vicki Sanford. In fourth place (70) was Heather Matsuda, Janet Roux, Ohlund and Corinne French. Ohlund dropped a birdie on No. 3. Closest to the pin shooters in their respective flights were McKave, Menzies and Corno. The longest drives in their respective flights went to Scarrow, Menzies and Scott. The 108 Ladies Club saw 35 members hit the links on June 9. Ohlund, Case, Darlene DeAngelis, Clara Koehn and Waite
Wendy Foster in second, Thompson, third, and Millie Halcro, fourth. Case, Knapp and Garrow hit the longest drives on No. 16, while Ohlund, Boyson and Batalha shot closest to the pin on No. 12. “We are having a great season so far thanks to our captain, Sharon Thompson, who is doing a great job setting a welcoming and respectful tone,” says 108 Ladies Club member Carol Lidstone. “Also the course is in great condition, the staff at the pro shop are fantastic, and the food and staff at the Hanger Restaurant is great. "We are very fortunate to have such a great facility and Ladies' group.”

Wilma (Willie) Clarice April 24,1930 – June 11, 2015 Willie passed away suddenly of heart failure. She leaves daughter Patti, son Rick (Judy), grandchildren April, Arinn and Angie, (Blake and Matt) great-grandchildren Tori, Kaity, Jackson and Oliver, niece Diane and other family & friends. Willie was very proud of her 1940 Manitoba Speed Skating Title. She skated her adult life until her speed skates weren’t allowed on public rinks Willie was very outgoing and loved to be involved with the community. Around 1955 she started the ladies auxiliary in East Kildonan, Winnipeg volunteering in the canteen, bingo and other fund raisers. As a young family many holidays and picnics were spent with best friends Tommy and June Masters Home became the 108 Ranch in 1982. Willie again became involved in community. In 1985 started the 108 Ladies Auxiliary and 108 Friday night bingo, held in the Wheel Room & school gym. A proud moment was giving the $10,000 raised by the auxiliary to the POA building fund, the hall was completed in 1986. Willie received recognition as one of the founding patrons in 1990, overseeing the plans to build the 108 Community Hall. In 1993 she received the 108 Ranch Citizen of the Year Award for original organizer of the bingo, which funded the hall’s operating costs. Willie had many hobbies, she was well known for her beautiful knit sweaters, cookies and pie baking that won awards at the fall fair. Many dinners and happy hours were spent with neighbours Mike and Kate, George and Freda, Gerald, Richard and Val, Gord and Bev, Norm and Sherry. Mom, you are very special. We hold fond memories and we’re honoured that you were our mother and much more. We will miss you very much, but glad you are now holding hands with Dad again. You live in our hearts. Love always, your family. Sincere thank you from the heart to the wonderful caring staff at the Salvation Army Sunset Lodge. To staff & 2nd floor residents, thank you for your kindness, respect and friendship to Willie In lieu of flowers – please consider BC Heart & Stoke Foundation No service at this time Condolences can be made to the family @www.pacificcoastcremation.com

By Monika Paterson here was a 60th wedding anniversary celebration held at Lac la Hache Pioneer Centre, May 16. Bea and Ed Kukkola and 50 of their closest friends travelled from all over British Columbia and Alberta to join them celebrating 60 wonderful years of marriage. They enjoyed a catered dinner, danced and did a lot of reminiscing. Married on May 14, 1955 in Maple Ridge, Bea and Ed met at one of the regular Saturday night community dances at the hall in Pitt Meadows in 1951. Their first date was a trip to Vancouver’s Stanley Park, as Bea had never seen the park before. Ed was born and lived in the outskirts of Maple Ridge, at Webster’s Corners. Bea’s family moved to Maple Ridge from Winnipeg in 1948. After getting married, Bea and Ed moved to New Westminster for a few months before Ed was transferred to 100 Mile House for work in August 1955. He worked as a diesel serviceman and travelled between Williams Lake and Spences Bridge. They purchased their property in Lac la Hache in 1958, a few years later their son, Brian, was born. In 1963, they move back to the Coast and lived in Burnaby, as Ed worked at several different jobs with Cummins Diesel that took

him all over B.C., Alberta, and the United States. While working at Cummins Diesel, some of his jobs included being a foreman, service manager (managing 100 mechanics) and later he became a training co-ordinator for B.C. and Alberta. Ed was also the owner’s representative and overlooked the building of the company’s new Calgary offices and facility, which he later also managed. Following that, Ed travelled with the owner, when they purchased New West Diesel and it became a division of Cummins,
travelling and have also become members of both the Lac la Hache O.A.P.O. and the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre group, and they enjoy fishing when they can. Ed and Bea enjoy spending time enjoying life with their family – Brian, his wife, Roberta, and grandchildren, Benjamin and Tyler. Asked what their secret is to their long marriage, Ed responded “We love each other, still.” Asking about what advice they would give newlyweds, Bea says, “You need to take the good with

Bea worked at several different jobs, including the Bank of Commerce in 100 Mile House from 1959 until 1963, then at the Bank of Commerce in Burnaby for four years before retiring and staying home to raise Brian. In 1991, Ed retired from Cummins Diesel after 42 years, and after living for a short time in Maple Ridge, they moved to their property in Lac la Hache, where they and Brian built their retirement home.

Neither has smoked, they drink in moderation and live a healthy lifestyle. Monika Paterson is the Lac la Hache correspondent.

Students enjoy sheep ranch Home School news
Candice-Rose Mapson
The 100 Mile House Homeschoolers group recently went on a tour of the Tatton Road Sheep Ranch. They were treated to holding and bottle feed-
ing the lambs. Rachel Sikiric’s and Lars Mapson’s favourite part was watching them being fed. One baby had been born only two hours before, and was already up and walking. The ranch had about 300 newborn Marino sheep. All of their sheep are fed organically and are used for their wool, as well as meat. To the group’s delight, the ranchers also owned three dogs and many other animals.
CHARTER ME!
The homeschoolers group started regular hikes with the leader Kristi Iverson, as well as other events and had a large amount of fun. There will be a year-end get-together. Events will be starting up again in September and anyone is welcome to try out homeschooling, no matter what age. For more information, contact the 100 Mile Home Learners on Facebook. Candice-Rose Mapson is 11 years old.
The Wranglers Bus is now available to groups for special trips, events etc.

Check underneath before you start your engine. Sharing the trails and hiking paths provides lots of opportunities to meet dogs that you don’t know.

be familiar with small dogs. Allowing your dog to run up to a strange dog without a proper greeting or to bark at the other dog may invoke an aggressive response. Use care and common sense when introducing two dogs that do not know each other. Dogs that are obviously aggressive or overexcited are best to be avoided rather than forcing the issue. Some dogs are naturally more relaxed and social than others. Dogs tend to be more relaxed and at ease when they are on a loose lead. Pulling on a tight leash increases frustration and may cause otherwise friendly dogs to become agitated. Wishing you and your pets a fun and sun-filled summer.
On July 23, Kindergym will take place at Centennial Park. Children can take part in the Fun Events planned for the District of 100 Mile House 50th Anniversary Party!
For more information on any SD#27 early learning programs, please contact Shelly at 250-395-9303 or your local school.

Ask an Expert: 5 signs your home insulation is not working Some insulations can lose performance over time, sustain damage or simply no longer meet updated building codes. It’s an issue that can be costly, because if your home’s insulation isn’t doing its job, you could be wasting money and resources. You don’t have to be a trained professional to know you have a problem. Here are several signs that your insulation is lacking:

1. Energy bills - High energy bills are the biggest red flag, especially relative to the size, age or condition of the home. If you have a run-away energy bill, your insulation may need to be upgraded. This can be the case, even in a newer home.

2. Drafts - Do you need to put on a sweater even with the heat on, or does your air conditioner run incessantly without making enough of a difference? That’s a sign of a deficiency in your building envelope. 3. Inconsistent temperatures - Is it warm in one room, but cold in another? Are your walls or interior closets cold to the touch? It’s possible that while your whole home may not need attention, certain rooms may need to be addressed. 4. Condition of insulating materials - Consider the age of your insulation. Would it stand up to today’s building codes? Is it in good shape or is it crumbly? If your insulation has degraded or isn’t performing, it’s time for an upgrade. But be careful, as certain types of older insulation, such as Vermiculite insulation, may contain asbestos. If you’re unsure, do not disturb it and hire a professional to conduct testing and/or removal. This should not be a do-it-yourself job. 5. You detect pests and/or moisture - Insulation - and your building envelope - can be compromised by the presence of pests. Moisture is an even bigger obstacle to optimal thermal performance, as some types of insulation can sag or collapse when damp, leaving voids and causing air to flow in and out of the building envelope. While some solutions may be more complicated, requiring the opening of the existing wall cavities, others can be addressed more easily. The best way to improve thermal performance and increase energy efficiency is to upgrade attic insulation. Laying Comfortbatt insulation over existing material to achieve a minimum depth of 16 inches, or an R-value of R50, is a simple DIY project that can generate immediate results. To fully assess your home and explore remediation solutions, consider hiring a professional home energy auditor to evaluate your home’s energy performance. Even in a new home, the results may be surprising.
