A Tatton Road rancher says she and other residents are unhappy about the roadside invasive plant control in the 105 Mile and 108 Mile Ranch areas. “A lot of landowners and ranchers are concerned about it,” says Cheryl Monical. Their main problem is the volume of invasive weeds evidenced along Highway 97; knapweed plants in particular, which are now going to seed. The Ministry of Agriculture website notes knapweed infestations are “causing major environmental deterioration and loss of beef production” in the southern Interior of British Columbia. “If left unchecked, the loss to ranchers and recreational users could be disastrous,” it states. As an executive member of the Cariboo Chilcotin Invasive Plant Committee (CCIPC), the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) works with CCIPC to carry out the roadside weed spraying contract for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI). Monical says when she called the CRD last year, she was told the budget covers annual noxious weed control for highways alternating with side roads every second year. “This year, I drive up and down the highway and I keep looking at all this knapweed, Canada Continued on A4

School policy precludes users

School District #27 (SD27) has now relaxed its Community Use of Schools policy, but the Bridge Lake Community School Society states it won’t help revive its after-school or adult sports programs. While the society is continuing to provide hot lunches for students, as it has for years, all its other programming ceased last year after SD27 increased fees and enforced policies. Until its recent revisions, these included $30-an-hour custodial fees with a four-hour minimum rental and mandatory liability insurance. Society president Maria Hamilton says the policy restricts after-school programs to those under school staff or administrator supervision, or licensed child-care providers. “We can’t even pay to do that; it is not allowed, period.

Meanwhile, SD27 chair Tanya Guenther says there is a way for groups to gain permission to hold after-school activities that are for the primary benefit of students in its facilities – but they must be a parent advisory council (PAC). The society at Bridge Lake is not parent-led, but a private community group, she notes. Guenther explains the mandate of school districts is to provide education to students, and that is where SD27 funds need to be directed.

Residents like community vision, goals More feedback sought as official community plan and zoning bylaw re-write move forward

Gaven Crites Free Press

Diversifying the local economy and keeping a strong rural character were two of the community goals that seemed to resonate most with local residents during a recent public consultation period that’s part of the ongoing Official Community Plan (OCP) update process. The OCP sets the general course of development for the District of 100 Mile House and establishes objectives and policies for land use. An accompanying Zoning Bylaw re-write is a key tool to implement the OCP. An online survey and an interactive display at public events during the District’s 50th Anniversary celebration week (July 18-26) officially heard from close to 70 residents who live within the District boundaries. Using green stickers, residents indicated whether they agreed or disagreed with 12 community goals and the community’s vision statement. The majority agreed with the vision statement: “100 Mile House is a vibrant resilient community set within a healthy natural environment where people can thrive personally and economically. Simply put – It is Miles Ahead!” The community goals are: • retain a strong sense of community, lifestyle and rural character as the community grows; • diversify the local economy; • maintain and strengthen 100 Mile House as a regional goods and services centre;

District of 100 Mile House director of economic development and planning Joanne Doddridge, middle, joined principal planner Graham Farstad and assistant planner Amanda Grochowich of the Arlington Group, a Vancouver-based planning and land use company, in Centennial Park during the recent 50th anniversary celebrations. They talked to residents about the Official Community Plan, which is being updated and sets the general direction for development in 100 Mile House.

• protect people and properties from natural hazards; • provide adequate water and sewer services; • improve form and character of development along Highway 97; • provide a full range of housing diversity; • support commercial and industrial development by designating land for these uses; • take advantage of existing services and infrastructure and encourage further development within the District; • promote good stewardship throughout the Bridge Creek Watershed: • encourage agriculture as part of the rural character and economy of 100 Mile

House; and • reduce community Greenhouse Gas emissions. While the majority of respondents still strongly agreed with the goals, they were less enthusiastic about the goals of reducing community Greenhouse Gas emissions; protecting people and properties from natural hazards; and supporting commercial and industrial development by designating land for these uses. Graham Farstad is the principal planner with the Vancouver-based Arlington Group, which is working with the District on the OCP update. “One of the interesting challenges with 100 Mile is there are an awful lot of

people that say they’re from 100 Mile House, but they’re actually from the [surrounding] region,” Farstad says. “We’re obviously interested in everyone’s comments, but in terms of documentation, we tried to focus on people who live within the District boundaries.” District of 100 Mile House director of economic development and planning Joanne Doddridge says through the survey and other public consultation events, residents have shown clear support for the community goals in the OCP, and those identified in the Miles Ahead Community Sustainability Plan, which was completed last year. “Confirming these goals

is the first step; now refining the District’s policies to help advance these goals will follow next. There will be further opportunities for residents to offer their thoughts, so watch the District’s website for details.” The planners have also met with a number of community groups, such as the South Cariboo Farmers’ Market, the South Cariboo Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre, the South Cariboo Sustainability Society and the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, to discuss their priories regarding future development. “It’s giving us a good background sense of where different groups are coming from,” says Farstad. “What we’re going to be doing for the rest of this month [August] is working on initial drafts of OCP updates and also looking at refinement and reformatting of the Zoning Bylaw. “We will be providing regular updates on the District’s website. When we have an overall draft ready we will post that on the website and have an open house and people can provide any comments they have.” The District launched the OCP and Zoning Bylaw revision to align council and community values, aspirations and perspectives for growth within the District. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. Assisting the District with the project is an advisory committee of seven 100 Mile House residents – Leon Chretien, Debbie Dengel, Tanya Hammerstron, Christine Jordaan, Don McLean, Don Savjord and Mel Torgerson.

Users urged to use safe water guidelines

Ken Alexander Free Press

On July 31, Interior Health (IH) issued a public alert for people who use Horse Lake that the current algae bloom, which had been tested, doesn’t currently pose risk to human health. After another round of testing last week, IH Environmental Health manager Courtney Hesketh says no toxins have been detected in this algae bloom. The blue-green algae has been identified in Horse Lake, she says,

adding it is naturally occurring, and often becomes visible when weather conditions are calm. “Appearing like scum, grass clippings, fuzz or globs on the surface of water, blue-green algae can be bluegreen, greenish-brown, brown or pinkish-red, and often smells musty or grassy.” As per the BC Health File, residents living near the shores of this lake, as well as visitors to the area, are advised to take the following precautions: • Avoid contact with blue-green algae blooms. If contact occurs, wash

with tap water as soon as possible. • Do not swim or wade (or allow your pets to swim or wade) in any areas where blue-green algae is visible. • Review the BC Health File (#47) on Blue Green Algae for more information. Visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any recreational body of water, including Horse Lake, at any time, Hesketh explains. She notes boiling this water will not remove the toxins produced by

blue-green algae. “Residents using surface water with disinfection and filtration are safe to use their water. An alternate source of drinking water should also be provided for pets and livestock, while this advisory is active.” Interior Health and the Ministry of Environment will continue to monitor and test this algae bloom, Hesketh adds. Additional information on bluegreen algae blooms is available at http://w w w.he a lt h lin kb c.c a/ healthfiles/hfile47.stm.

FAST bytes OUTDOOR SCHOOL School District #27 (SD27) trustees have taken steps toward providing more outdoor education programming for students in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. In February, the board had approved the SD27 staff’s idea in principle, in the spirit of providing more educational choices. Now, it has asked staff to come back in September with a financial projection for Outdoor Education, and school affiliations and enrolment procedures for a Nature Kindergarten program.

RIDERS ON ROADS ICBC is urging drivers to watch out for motorcyclists on roads as ridership and crashes peak in summer, with six riders injured every day during July and August in B.C. Vehicle drivers are at fault in nearly 80 per cent of crashes with motorcycles where the rider is seriously injured, mostly due to distracted driving and failing to yield the right-of-way. About 34 per cent of crashes involve only motorcycle riders, mostly due to inattention/distraction and speed. Tips for drivers are at www.icbc.com/abouticbc/newsroom.

Patient air-lifted from Lac la Hache MVI

Ken Alexander Free Press

A serious motor vehicle incident (MVI) near Maze Lake, north of Lac

la Hache, blocked traffic on Highway 97 for close to six hours on Aug. 10. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Roger Hollander says

the callout came in at 2:06 p.m. and they arrived at the scene at the same time as the 100 Mile House RCMP, Cariboo Chilcotin

Traffic Services and BC Ambulance Service crews. The RCMP report states the semi was travelling north on Highway

A BC Ambulance Service helicopter lifted off with the driver of a mini van involved in a two-vehicle incident with a semi truck near Maze Lake north of Lac la Hache on Aug. 10. Highway 97 was shut down for close to six hours before traffic, which was lined up for kilometres, was allowed to proceed past the accident scene.

97 and the mini van was travelling south when the MVI occurred. The van was rolled over onto its roof when police arrived. It has been confirmed one of the vehicles crossed the centreline and it was a head-on MVI. Hollander notes there were three patients involved - two in the mini van and the third in the truck. The male driver of the mini van suffered serious injuries, so a BC Ambulance Service helicopter was called in and it landed on the highway around 3:20 p.m. By 4 p.m., he was

thistle, burdock, scentless chamomile ... and it should have been their year for the highways, so I called the CRD. “I found out they have a priority system, and I don’t know what these ‘priority weeds’ are, but as a rancher, I’d like to see knapweed treated.... I’m kind of ‘ticked’ that they are not; they are getting paid to do the job.”

Diffuse Knapweed grows in dry habitats and has white, lavender or purple composite flowers.

Monical says she sprays invasive plants on her own ranch, but notes residents are not allowed to do the road allowances. She adds

the CRD crew should spray everything invasive it finds. “If they are making a pass, why can’t they spray all the weeds? “There are a limited number of days when you can spray ... [why not do them all] so they have time for some other stuff, like side roads? It takes a lot of time to walk the highways.” Meanwhile, CRD chair Al Richmond says the main problem is the limited budget MoTI provides, which isn’t enough with the rapid spread of noxious weeds that is happening now. More and more seeds are coming in on trucks from the regional districts and provinces that don’t spray, through sales of garden ornamentals, and by local landowners who don’t deal with their own invasive weeds, he explains. “It really needs to be a province-wide strategy ... and people are going to have to deal with it [in yards] or we’re going to have more losses with respect to rangelands, etcetera.” Richmond notes the CRD got only about half of the more than $300,000 it asked for

to treat the highway rights-of-way in 2015. “We received $157,000, and they wanted us to specifically treat gravel pits.” There was a major hawkweed infestation at 106 Mile pit in 2009, and MoTI contractors were unknowingly spreading it along the highway. Orange hawkweed is one of the 18 new invader species on its high priority weeds list that needs to be knocked down before it gets a foothold in South Cariboo soils – which is already the situation in Quesnel,

Richmond explains. “Once we deal with the number 1 priorities, then we will endeavour, if [budgeted] time permits, to go back and get the other ones that are bothering people, like the knapweed, which we know is a major concern. “I won’t say they don’t knock down some of it when they go by, but they are not necessarily stopping at knapweed infested areas. They are dealing with these other nasties.” Says Monical: “You want the job; you’d better step up to the plate and do it properly.” However, Richmond says the board directors don’t really want the job of controlling roadside weeds anymore, since the budget and foreign seed problems are leading to dissatisfied residents and “bad PR” (public relations) tainting the CRD’s reputation. While the property invasive plant program will continue as usual, the area directors’ recent discussions are now leaning toward giving up the roadside spraying program contract, and letting the ministry deal with it some other way.

as they were all out of their vehicles when they arrived. He adds there were members of the public on the scene helping when they arrived, “which was great.” An onlooker says two of the first people on the scene brought large first aid kits and started working on the victims. Noting they stopped traffic when they arrived at the scene, Hollander said all of the patients were conscious and breathing and the road was still blocked when he left the scene. The investigation of the cause of the MVI is ongoing.

Hollander notes the female passenger of the mini van suffered minor injuries and was transferred to 100 Mile District General Hospital, and the male driver of the semi also suffered minor injuries and was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in William Lake. Both have been treated and released from hospital. The fire chief says they didn’t need to extricate any of patients,

Norm Letnick looks at local issues

Carole Rooney Free Press

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick visited 100 Mile House on Aug. 4 and met with some industry stakeholders at Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s constituency office. Later, he talked about his views on the current hot-button topic of British corporation Reckitt Benckiser (RB) Group and its Trees for Change program. Cariboo farm lands could be in jeopardy of reforestation if past actions are revisited by RB, or any other group or individual. Over the past few years, RB bought up thousands of hectares in the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) in the Cariboo and near Vanderhoof, reforested the land, and applied for 100-year, no-logging covenants to obtain European carbon credits. Letnick said he became aware of this issue two years ago,

when he was visiting Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad and saw 1,500 hectares of northern land affected. Noting Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes was asked to identify the specific areas – which turned out to be 10,000 ha – Letnick explained he passed the information to the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) for investigation. Since then, the minister and the ALC have met with the foreign corporation and heard they were holding off on any more British Columbia land purchases, although RB’s most recent purchase of Cariboo land was not for European carbon credits (so no covenants were applied). “RB’s intention is not to accumulate any more land for that purpose, and to review its options for what it’s going to do on the land it has.” That is just one step in what needs to happen to ensure Cariboo farmlands and others

in B.C. are preserved, he noted. “It doesn’t resolve the larger issue, which is 'should a private citizen or a company be allowed to plant trees on ALR land'.” Letnick said there are often good reasons to plant some trees on agricultural land, such as windbreaks and fruit trees. Barnett added more stakeholder consultation is needed in her riding. “Nobody has talked to the ranchers here. The ranchers are furious. They said ‘come and talk to us before anybody makes decisions about what to do on our lands’.” Earlier this summer, Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond suggested rather than planting trees on ALR lands viable for feed crops, a better target for reforestation in the region could be areas damaged by the mountain pine beetle.

Letnick explained more stakeholder consultation is still needed before making any changes to reforestation policy impacting ALR land. “We are just in the middle of taking our time and coming up with the right policy going forward, and as MLA Barnett has said, some of the people we need to talk with

are the ranchers ... it’s important to me to take the time to do that due diligence, because when you create a policy like this, it can have unintended consequences.” Barnett says as on any topic, local stakeholders may forward comments or letters to the ministry through her 100 Mile House Office at 7-530, Horse Lake Road, PO Box 95, 100 Mile House, B.C.

Rotary fundraiser ongoing The Rotary Club of 100 Mile House is continuing to fundraise for its project to install an amphitheatre in Centennial Park in 2016 – in time for the club’s 40th anniversary celebration. Rotary past president Maureen Pinkney heads up the project, and presented the idea to District of 100 Mile House council in March, which then supported the project. The $82,000 project will see a pavilion type of structure with open sides, and log supports and beams, offer a venue for all sorts of public gatherings, she explains.

Simple Gifts: hands, heart and presence These are the Gifts of a Hospice Volunteer

The 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society is offering the opportunity for you to learn to use “simple gifts” in the care of the dying and the bereaved.

In Canada, most of us like our police officers. When we need help, we don’t hesitate to call upon them. Canadians proudly send their police officers to less fortunate countries so that our police officers can help other countries establish police forces of their own which will serve their countries following the Canadian model. Maybe you’ve been in other countries where police misconduct is accepted with a shrug of the shoulders; where police misconduct is the norm. In Canada, we don’t accept police misconduct. The case of Elliot v. Waterloo (Regional Municipality) Police Services ([2011] OJ No. 5199, Ont. SCJ) is a good example. In the Elliot case, Mr. Elliot had a cousin who was a member of a gang. The police received a tip suggesting that Mr. Elliot’s cousin was storing weapons in Mr. Elliot’s home. Most of us probably believe that what happened next is not typical of those who serve in Canadian police forces. In the Elliot case, the police raided Mr. Elliot’s home. They did this in spite of the fact that the “bad” cousin was already in jail. They gave misleading information to the Justice of the Peace when they obtained their search warrant. They broke into Mr. Elliot’s home with a battering ram. They threw flash grenades. They conducted a search of his car and his computer. They didn’t find any weapons but they took Mr. Elliot to the police station for several hours anyway. Mr. Elliot has no criminal record. The evidence before the Court was that he helps his neighbours cut their grass and trim their hedges and shovel their snow. In the face of his treatment by the police, he was upset. He sued. And he won. He was awarded damages of $32,000 by the Court. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Single-vehicle incident causes power outage

Pick-up truck snaps power pole, crashes through 108 Stables fence Local RCMP, 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108MRVFD), 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue and BC Ambulance Service crews responded to single-vehicle rollover crash near at the 108

Local RCMP, two fire department and BC Ambulance Service crews responded to single-vehicle crash on Highway 97 just north of 110 Mile around 6:10 a.m. on Aug. 6. A pick-up truck hauling a trailer with ATVs and equipment left the highway, sheered a power pole and crashed through a fence at the 108 Stables.

Stables just north of 110 Mile around 6:10 a.m. on Aug. 6. 108MRVFD fire chief Marcelle Ried says the incident involved a Nissan Titan pick-up truck hauling a trailer carrying ATVs and a rack and equipment, which was strewn over the field, was heading south bound when it went of Highway 97. The vehicle sheared a power pole in half, which resulted in a power outage in the 108 Mile Ranch area, and then crashed through the fence and rolled into the field at the 108 Stables.

Help shape Climate Leadership Plan

ritish Columbia is a recognized global climate leader. We were North America’s first – and still only – jurisdiction to become a carbon–neutral government, having achieved that status every year since 2010. We introduced North America’s first and most comprehensive revenueneutral carbon tax and have laid out climate actions in all sectors of the economy. These actions are helping to drive innovation and cut our carbon emissions, contributing to our strong, diverse economy. Because our carbon tax is revenue neutral, we’ve returned money to British Columbians in the form of personal and business tax reductions. While our Climate Action Plan has been a success, we recognize that we’ll need to do even more to reach our emissions reduction targets for 2020 and 2050. Earlier this year, Premier

Christy Clark announced and priorities to help shape that B.C. will develop a the plan. new Climate Leadership B.C.’s new Climate Plan.

GUEST SHOT

ritish Columbia has experienced a lot of wildfires this year and it has been an expensive proposition trying to extinguish the blazes that have hit every region of the province. We had an early and extremely difficult start to the fire season. It is due to the hot, dry conditions of our forested land, and the forest floor has continued to get drier and drier – a trend likely to continue into September. As of Aug. 10, there have been 1,460 fires this season, which have burned 283,500 hectare of forests. Most of the wildfires are started when thunder and lightning storms roll across the province. Often the storms are not accompanied by rain, and the lightning strikes spark up fires that can grow very quickly. The BC Wildfire Service tracks the lightning strikes and conducts air patrols to ensure hotspots don’t flare up a few days after the storms. That is a mother-nature caused event and there is nothing mankind can do to stop it. However, up to an annual average of 40 per cent of those wildfires are human-caused. Most of these incidences are caused by people not extinguishing campfires properly, tossing cigarettes from a moving vehicle or just plain carelessness. These human-caused fires are totally unnecessary, and, as is the case with all wildfires, they are dangerous and expensive to put out. By mid-July, more than $4 million had been spent on attacking and suppressing wildfires. It has been estimated that total could increase to $10 million by the end of the season. This is a ton of money that B.C. taxpayers are paying, especially when more than one-third of the this year’s fires have been caused by human error. So, the B.C. Liberal government is looking at ways to reduce and, hopefully, stop human-caused fires. Prince George MLA Mike Morris, Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, is conducting a review of the current fine and penalty structures related to human-caused forest fires. He is considering a number of penalty options, including doubling fines for not extinguishing a campfire; banning people who break campfire bans from using provincial parks; and impounding vehicles of folks who flick cigarettes out of their vehicles' windows. While some folks may think these penalties are too harsh, we don’t agree with them. Having a campfire is not a right; it is a privilege. Folks who neglect the rules of campfire safety should lose those privileges. Automobile impoundment helps keep drinking drivers off the road, and it would be deterrent for those who flick burning cigarettes and the like out of their vehicle windows.

After reviewing the discussion paper submissions and the Climate Leadership Team’s recommendations, government will release a draft Climate Leadership Plan in December 2015, in time for the United Nations climate change conference in Paris (COP21). At that time, a second round of public consultation will take place. British Columbians will be asked to comment on specific climate policies and actions. Government will review those comments and use them in the development of the final version of the Climate Leadership Plan to be released in March 2016. The input of British Columbians from all backgrounds will be vital to the success of the Climate Leadership Plan. We look forward to hearing from you. Mary Polak is B.C.'s Minister of Environment.

Fire chief will be missed by community Darrell Blades shared experience, expertise with area firefighters

To the editor: I had the opportunity to read in your paper that Darrell Blades, the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief is leaving the area. I would like to take this opportunity to let all your readers know he will be missed by

all the fire departments in the area. We at the Watch Lake, North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (WLNGLVFD) have benefited from his leadership and operational skills. He and many members of the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue have assisted us on many

calls that we have attended over the years. Darrell’s expertise has given us training in all types of incidents from house fires to motor vehicle incidents (MVI) where extrication was required. On July 15, he and his crew assisted us with a serious MVI where an extrication was

required. He will be missed. I would also like to thank the 100 Mile businesses for releasing the volunteers when they are required. Ronald W Thurston North Green Lake

Spray park would be an attraction for 100 Mile House To the editor: I read the “Spray park would get little use” letter by Neil Duncan on page A9 in the July 30 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press, and although everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it was brought to my attention how some of those “facts” were not accurate. Children don’t need it to be 27 C to play in a spray park. Anybody with children knows that is true; I’ve seen kids playing in sprinklers when it’s a measly 15 C outside. The spray park would surely be

used a lot more than 23 days a year. If we had had the spray park this summer, it already would have surpassed that number with all the warm weather we’ve had since May. A web search of spray parks in British Columbia shows that there are, in fact, spray parks all over B.C. These places include Williams Lake, Quesnel, Prince George, Fort St. John, and Kamloops plus many of the towns and cities in the Vancouver area. All of these locations have different ranges in temperature and

they still have spray parks that are constantly used and being enjoyed by children. Our town needs features that will attract young families to live here. School registrations in this area have dropped significantly over the years and are continuing to drop. Families want more for their children. Not to mention how much the

businesses in town would benefit from having a feature like this nearby. Families would spend their day at the park and then grab lunch at our local restaurants, grab sunscreen at our local drugstores and, overall, support our businesses. As a young woman of this town with young siblings and, eventually, a family of my own, I would

love nothing more than to see this park built within the next couple of years. The South Cariboo Joint Committee is making the right decision by possibly becoming a major contributor to the spray park and building the lift station. Taylor Blades 105 Mile House

Greetings from Ralph Fossum To the editor: This is an open letter to my friends, colleagues and citizens. A great big heart-felt thank you for all the letters, cards and well wishes sent my way. All are very much appreciated. As many of you know, I have been in Kamloops hospital for the last two months. I have been diagnosed with

an ailment called Guillaume Barre Syndrome – a rare noncontagious disease affecting one in 100,000 people. This disease attacks the central nervous system – onset is very quick and the causes unknown. There is a strain from which recovery, over time, is fully recoverable. The syndrome paralyzed me from neck down in a period of

three days. I have since regained some control of various parts of my body. I can’t thank you enough for all your support and I look forward to being home with everyone again in the not too distant future. Ralph Fossum 100 Mile House

he first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the

Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Around

the province Kelowna gets its own rainbow crosswalks KELOWNA - Just in time for this year's Okanagan Pride week celebrations, Kelowna has its first rainbow crosswalks. Where Lawrence Avenue and Pandosy Street meet, City of Kelowna staff painted four "diversitycelebrating," colourful crosswalks in the wee hours of Thursday (Aug. 6) morning. "I'm third-generation, born-and-raised in Kelowna," Okanagan Pride board member Chad Wolfe said, at a noon-hour gathering by the city's bright new addition. "Growing up I never thought I'd see this in Kelowna—it's frickin' amazing." The Kelowna he grew up in, he explained, was religious, conservative and not that open to the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Queer community. "I didn't even come out until I was 21," he said. "Now kids are coming out at 13/14… they have much more support these days." That said, having the political arm of the city embrace the LGBTQ community is still remarkable, and that's something he offered kudos to Mayor Colin Basran for spearheading.

Dog helps woman escape bear attack PENTICTION - A woman was walking her dog on Aug. 5 in a community park in Willowbrook when a 160-pound black bear attacked her from behind unprovoked. The woman suffered a broken arm, severe lacerations from a bite to the arm as well as scratches on her back and face. Her small dog saved the day according to Sgt. Jim Beck with the South Okanagan zone of the Conservation Officer Service. “The little dog that she was walking, it’s only 20-25 pounds soaking wet, came back to intervene and did its best to bite at the bear and actually he was successful in redirecting the bear to it,” Beck said. “The bear chased after the dog and she was at that time able to recover from the injury, stand up and get out of there.” The woman was able to make her way to help and was taken to the hospital. “The dog actually beat her home,” Beck said.

No. I’m not big into politics, and no matter who gets in, we won’t like a lot of what they do. But the guy in there now is doing an OK job; as good as anybody.

Well, the way the Conservatives are going, I would not vote for them anyway. They started it and now it is getting like the United States. They are going downhill in targeting candidates like that.

No. You listen to what they are saying in their platform, and pick the best one based on that. But then, a lot of them don’t do what they said they would anyway.

Indeed. I am sick to death with them pointing to others. Negative advertising is a pain, and they should be ashamed.

A total of 2,866 households were out of power for up to two hours late on Aug. 4. BC Hydro northern community relations manager Dave Mosure says lightning strikes caused damage to equipment in the 103 Mile Lake area causing the first outage to occur at 9:16 p.m., and all service was restored by 11:15 p.m. Customers were affected from just north of Exeter Station Road (100 Mile House), 103

Mile Lake, 108 Mile Ranch, and Lac la Hache northward in a wide swath generally following the Highway 97 corridor to Enterprise Road (south of 150 Mile House), he explains. “The station went down because a lightning strike hit a breaker within a substation. “Crews patrolled the line, found the station and dealt with the breaker and everything came back on.” Mosure notes that in addition to equipment

Occupants of vehicle had to be extricated

A head-on collision in the 6000-block of North Green Lake Road around 4:45 p.m. on July 30 had 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue on scene extricating occupants with Jaws of Life equipment. Clinton RCMP commanding officer Cpl. Brandon Bluiziuk notes members from his detachment and Watch Lake-North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services crews were also on scene. A brown Honda Accord crossed lanes impacting a white Suzuki SUV head-on, he explains. Bluiziuk adds minor neck and back pain and a wrist injury were incurred, and one person was transported to hospital. The cause of the incident involved “nature,” he notes. However, no other information is available for public

ensure no line breakages or other damage has occurred before the

tripped breaker can be switched back on to restore power.

Community Day a good success on Aug. 1

The South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department’s (SGLVFD) annual Community Day got off to a bit of a slow start on Aug. 1, but it pick up significantly about 30 minutes after it opened. “I thought it went well. It wasn’t as busy as it was the previous year, but it were still lots of people there,” says SGLVFD treasurer Sue McKie. “Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves.” The Community Day was an opportunity for all South Green Lake residents – both full time and seasonal – and their visitors to meet the volunteer firefighters and check out the equipment, as well as get any questions answered. The net proceeds of this event - $1,200 – will go to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund.

With a little help from fire chief Peter McKie, Lauren Wong from Surrey got to use a fire hose at the South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department’s Community Day on Aug. 1. Her grandmother, Ivy Wong, enthusiastically encouraged Lauren to try to hit a sign on a nearby tree.

The fire hall was open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and there was a bit of carnival atmosphere at

the peak of the activities. The fire hose relays – during which participants had to don a

fire helmet, jacket and boots, run for 35 yards, spray a target with a fire hose and race back to

Wagner reports on meeting At the July 10 Cariboo Regional District (CRD) board meeting, Area H Director Margo Wagner says Todd Hubner, district manager for Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure (MoTI), appeared before the directors to update us on landslide and flooding issues within the CRD. This spring, landslide and flooding were mainly a problem in the Central and Northern Cariboo, she explains. “In the south, a couple of issues I brought up, was the inconsistency on line painting on roads, plus the washing out of the shoulders on the edge of the pavement, caused by some of the heavy downpours we experienced this past spring.” Both of these issues will be addressed to the local MoTI representatives, she adds. Redevelopment Peter Du Toit, Health services administrator for the Thompson, Cariboo and Shuswap regions, appeared before the Board

to update us on the Cariboo Memorial Hospital redevelopment project. Wagner notes. This concept plan

has now gone to the Ministry of Health and the Treasury Board for perusal and, hopefully, approval.

the start/finish line – attracted several teams. There were races for boys, girls and a co-ed teams; and older boys and girls also raced; men’s and women’s races were very close and resulted in a couple of revenge challenges. The tug of war challenges – from children to adults – are always popular and all of the pulls were highly competitive, with endurance eventually winning the day. There was a fish pond and a bean bag toss for the younger children, as well as the opportunity to use a fire hose. Fire chief Peter McKie made sure all the children who participated were given an honourary fire helmet. There was a FireSmart information centre, so folks could learn ways to protect their homes from wildfires. There was also a home sprinkler demonstration, and both of these venues

garnered lots of visitors and questions. The SGLVFD got help from A&W and Safeway with the hotdogs and from the Green Lake

Snowmobile Club with the ice cream cones. “It was a good community event and we’ll definitely do it again,” McKie concludes.

Cariboo's Rock Stock a success

Simply put, Cariboo’s Rock Stock was a big success, says organizer Wade Cook. The new music festival rocked over four days and three nights with a talented local band and other great professional acts from around British Columbia, featuring a variety of musical genres and drawing approximately 150 visitors and campers from around the province. “Rock Stock would like to thank all the businesses that helped out,” Cook says. “We’re trying to make it a community event. “It’s on the level. It’s a safe place to go to. There was a good turnout and everyone got along.” The outdoor venue was on Dempsey Lake Road near Forest Grove. Tribute bands rocked out tunes of popular acts, such as Johnny Cash, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BTO, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Cook adds they’re planning to organize a second annual event next summer. Visit www. cariboorockstock.com for more information.

The Cemetery Committee, volunteers and friends have been busy. The graves and grounds are clean and welcoming, and the parking area is gravelled and ready for use. The only remaining “work in progress” is the gate, which should be completed later this summer. CRD referendum Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area H Director Margo

Wagner invited the public to an informative Open House session at the Forest Grove Community Hall on July 22. They discussed the upcoming South Cariboo Highway Rescue Referendum, to be voted on either at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100 Mile House or the Forest Grove Community Hall on Aug.29. The District of 100 Mile House has provided the highway rescue service within its boundaries, Areas H and L as well as most of Area G for many years. Without its efforts, local firefighters would have to be trained and relevant equipment purchased and maintained, which would be very expensive, financed by increasing local taxes.

Art tour helps health foundation The South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) is presenting Studio 2 Studio 3, its third annual self-guided art tour fundraiser, on Sept. 12. The tour next month will see close to a dozen artists open up their studios and display their work at seven locations around 108 Mile Ranch. The event is a creative way to raise money for local health care. Last year, it raised close to $1,000 for the SCHF, which supports local community health facilities and projects. Artists will have a variety of artwork on exhibition, including paintings, quilts, pottery and jewelry. One of the artists is Michelle Brown, a painter who moved to the Cariboo from the Lower Mainland about two years ago with her husband and daughter. Her show – “B.C. Girl: My Backyard” – ran at Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House in March 2014. Her show featured vivid and captivating outdoor

Financial Tip of the Week With Do you have a locked-in pension under Federal legislation?

If so, starting in the year you turn Simkins 55, the government now allows Dave Branch Manager you to unlock 50% of the plan if it is under Federal legislation. The amount has to be transferred to an RRSP or an RRIF. If you would like to have the cash, then you would have to make a withdrawal from the new plan, which would generate withholding taxes. Please note if your plan is under BC regulation, this unlocking feature is not offered at this time. If you are unsure which legislation your plan is under, we can assist you in determining the correct jurisdiction. There are other circumstances that allow you to unlock your RRSP or RRIF.

Celebration of Life Please join us as we celebrate the life of

By Mark McMillan Fifty years ago 100 Mile House was born ... and you can bet there were a lot of cowboys around the area in those days. What better way to help celebrate the 50th birthday than with a Cowboy Concert in Centennial Park on July 20? When the BC Cowboy Heritage Society was approached with the idea, it agreed and a list of entertainers was assembled. The idea was to keep the entertainment as local as possible; therefore, the first choice had to be Jason Ruscheinsky from the Bridge Lake area. Jason has great stage presence, is a terrific singer and guitar player. Singer Bernadette Ducharme from Horsefly has performed at numerous other events in the area, has a great voice and nice stage appearance. Her material is cowboy, and most of it is original. It’s not often he is able to perform, but cowboy poet Bruce Rolph from Horsefly agreed this time. His material is awesome and his presentation is spellbinding. Although Alan Moberg is from Salt Spring Island, but there’s probably no one who has written as many songs about the area over the years. His songs are ranching, cowboy, country, farming, western, First Nations, and pretty much anything else that’s British Columbia. All in all, the 100 Mile House 50th Celebration Cowboy Concert was enjoyed by all who attended. The last two songs of the evening were crowd favourites and Alan called Bernadette and Jason up on stage to help out. They supplied some

Ron

July 5, 1928– July 20, 2015 Ron passed away on July 20, 2015 just 15 days after his 87th birthday. He was born in Victoria, BC on July 5, 1928. At the age of 18 Ron met the love of his life Dorothy, who he married in 1951. They celebrated their 64th Anniversary in 2014. Ron joined the Forest Service and worked and lived in Squamish, Boston Bar, Echo Bay, Thurston Bay, Alexis Creek and 100 Mile House, where after 36 years he retired in 1984. Ron’s first love was his wife and family, and always the great outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and trap shooting, he also enjoyed photography. In 1996 Ron & Dorothy moved to Keremeos. Ron is predeceased by his daughter Linda, his brother George and sisters Sandra and Mary Lou. He leaves behind his wife Dorothy and son Ron, as well as sisters Claudi (Ron), Shauna (Mike), Jo-Ann (Gordon). Ron will be lovingly remembered for his love of the outdoors and for being a kind and loving husband and father.

Love Lives On Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Rudolf ~ 1924-2015 It is with sadness that the family of Alfred George Rudolf announces his peaceful passing in the early morning hours of August 1, 2015 at Williams Lake Seniors Village at the age of 90 years. Alfred truly loved living in the Cariboo where carpentry, stone masonry and wood working were all his passion. At Alfred’s request there will be no formal service; a celebration with his friends will take place at a later date. Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements. 250-392-3336

FELCE Ron

With saddened hearts we announce the sudden passing of longtime Cariboo rancher, Ron W. Felce at age 64. Survived by his mother, Joyce Felce, sister Melody (Joe) Tate, his children Clifford (Linda) Peterson, Justin (Alice) Jake, Jessica, Joy and Janelle Felce, grandchildren Griffith and Evan Peterson. Ron was born on Dec. 11, 1950 in Grass Valley, California. He and his family moved to Forest Grove, B.C. in 1981 to pursue his dream of ranching. He loved the Lord, working the land, fishing, family BBQ’s and exploring the Cariboo back roads. Gone fishing to Heaven, he will be loved and missed dearly by family, friends and his two faithful dogs. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sept. 26 at 4725 Bates Rd. Forest Grove. Open house from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., eulogy at 1 p.m.

BONTER

Nancy Mary Jan. 7, 1919 - July 31, 2015 Nancy Mary Bonter 96 years old died July 31, 2015 at Fischer Place, 100 Mile House, BC. Nan is survived by children Bill (Karen), Mick (Linda), Karen (Lawrence); grandchildren Russ, Kerri, Che’, Cory, Gill and Mike; great grandchildren James, Jennifer, Shelby, Elizabeth and Damian. Predeceased by husband Norm in 1997 and grandson Jimmy in 1983. Nan was born and raised in England where she was educated as a teacher. She used those skills during WWII when she was instructed to evacuate many children from England to a safe place. She met Norm during the war and they were married in England in 1943. Following the war they moved to Vancouver in 1947 and then to Bridge Lake in 1953, where Nan helped Norm build and manage Lucky Strike Ranch until 1975. During this time period she also taught school in Bridge Lake and then in Kamloops. In 1980, she and Norm moved to Mill Bay where she resided until 2014. Nan will be remembered as a kind giving mother, qrandmother, great grandmother and a loyal friend who met life’s challenges with enthusiasm and a great sense of humour. Nan will be missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank Jerry Fenwick, Ruth Leach and Regina Winterburn for their help and support in the care of Nan. A private service for family and close friends will be announced at a later date. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243

Province partners with Barkerville

A one-time contribution of $113,000 has been granted to Barkerville Historic Town & Park, in support of the National Historic Site’s innovative Historic Street interpretation program. This funding, made possible by a partnership between the Gaming Branch of British Columbia’s Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, the Friends of Barkerville-Cariboo Goldfields Historical Society, the Barkerville Heritage Trust, and Barkerville

Historic Town & Park, will help to sustain Barkerville’s award-winning interpretation program. The official announcement, made last week by Cariboo North MLA and then Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Coralee Oakes who, on July 30, was appointed Minster of Small Business, RedTape Reduction and Minister Responsible for the Liquor Distribution Branch. It was a welcome declaration of support for Barkerville’s 2015

“season of sesquicentennials,” celebrating the 150th anniversaries of the Cariboo Waggon Road, the Cariboo Amateur Dramatic Association, and the Cariboo Sentinel newspaper. “We are grateful to the Community, Sport and Cultural Development Ministry, as well as our local partners, for this investment in Barkerville’s 2015 season,” said Don Bassermann, Barkerville Heritage Trust chair. “Provisions of this kind help to solidify Barkerville’s position as

a nationally significant heritage resource and tourism attraction for British Columbia and Canada.” Barkerville’s refreshed Historic Street interpretation program includes: • the full-time interpretation of Billy Barker’s life story, including the reconstruction of the original Barker & Co. mine shaft and shaft house; • a newly improved Cariboo Sentinel newspaper experience complete with twice-daily printing press presentations and

souvenir copies of reprinted Cariboo Sentinel first editions; • and the long-awaited return of Barkerville’s signature afternoon “street music” scenario, affectionately rebranded as “Billy Barker’s Quarter Hour of Music and Frivolity,” in honour of the Cariboo Amateur Dramatic Association’s 150th anniversary. For more information about Barkerville’s 2015 season of sesquicentennials, and the new Historic Street interpretation initiatives, please visit www.barkerville.ca.

Consider moisture issues when choosing insulation

Total Living Area: 1363 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 1 Main Level: Fireplace anchors 16’ x 17’ great room and adds exterior design element to covered porch. Small, porched entry from side of home provides natural break between shared and private spaces. Private hallway to bedrooms and full bathroom. Spacious open-concept great room, dining area and large kitchen. Special Features: Attractive fireplace and large windows add interior and exterior design element. Covered front porch adds rustic appeal to this modern classic.

We insulate our homes primarily to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As a result, most of us evaluate insulation based on its thermal properties, which is definitely important to consider. However, there is another aspect of wall and ceiling insulation that should be considered before making a final decision, and that’s moisture. If you choose the wrong insulation, moisture can seriously damage the long-term performance of the insulation, drastically reducing the benefits it offers to your home. Although wall and ceiling cavities may be out of sight after a home is built, they are very important spaces in residential construction and remodeling projects. They play a critical role in managing the interior temperature, noise level, air-flow and mold levels. It is important that the insulation in the walls and ceilings works just as well years after installation as it does the day after the project is completed. This means that the insulation needs to stay consistent over time — any sagging, compressing or rotting will compromise the safety and comfort of your home. To combat these potential problems, look for insulation that does not absorb water, but repels it. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by Roxul, is a good choice. Waterresistance is important year-round, but especially in summer, when humidity levels rise, and in spring and fall, when rain and moisture levels can increase dramatically. It’s vital that your insulation won’t compress or sag within the wall or ceiling cavity, because when insulation materials compress and sag, they leave gaps, compromising the thermal performance of the wall. Cold, heat and sound can pass through much more easily, creating a living space that’s less comfortable and more expensive to heat and cool. Another important consideration when choosing insulation is mold resistance. Materials that resist mold growth, like stone wool, are essential to the health of your home and family. Houseplan provided by... Because mold feeds on organic matter, selecting an insulation that is composed of nonorganic matter is ideal to prevent rot. Keeping moisture and mold at bay with a quality insulation will contribute to a safer indoor environment and provide energy savings and comfort benefits that can last for the lifetime of a home. 250-395-3835

HELP the HUNGRY! The need in our community is again

CRITICAL

and YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. There’s a FOOD CRISIS in the South Cariboo. The South Cariboo Food Security Committee has put out a plea for food donations to support the hungry families and individuals in need this summer. Local gardeners with extra produce in their plots, and the general public through non-perishable donations, are being asked to help with this food crisis. Children, youth and families are challenged daily in having enough to eat, especially nutritious food. With the food bank being on emergency hampers during the summer and the ever increasing need for food, our shelfs are really low and we still have over two months to go before the Food Bank returns to their regular schedule. The following staples would be greatly appreciated at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Loaves and Fishes and the Womens Centre • Pasta • Macaroni and Cheese • Canned Soup • Canned Beans • Peanut Butter (small jars) • Oatmeal • Rice • Size 2 and Size 5 and 6 diapers • Formula And anything else that a community member might have as a food donation. We will make sure that all donations are used by those in need. We also all greatly appreciate fresh food including eggs, bread, vegetables and fruit The newly established Community Place Garden at First St. & Birch Ave. is now harvesting; so help with watering, weeding and picking would be greatly appreciated; to learn your way around the garden, come down there on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. and speak to one of the co-ordinating gardeners. That produce is there for the benefit of the vulnerable population, and those who are hungry.
