'Respect the jumps'
Free Press
The unauthorized bike trails tirelessly constructed by local youth in Centennial Park received a formal thumbs-up from local leaders on Oct. 27. Environmental, safety and liability concerns the District of 100 Mile House had were officially addressed at a regular council meeting, with young local mountain bikers and parents in council chambers for the meeting. The fate of the bike park, hidden in the woods behind Centennial Park, had been up in the air since it was discovered on District property in the spring. Clayton Chamberlain addressed council on behalf of the bikers. “It has been a very safe, successful and productive year on our part,” Chamberlain said. “The community and rider
and parent support has been overwhelming. The knowledge gained and the materials donated ... and dedication to maintaining these perfect jumps is truly incredible.” The altered landscape is a remarkable site, like the awesome remains of an extreme newly discovered civilization. Steep lanes of earth descend like a radical roadway through the conifers, coursing into huge rolling banks of dirt and ramps built of plywood and moss-covered logs. The boys manoeuvre with impressive dexterity at impressive heights with no fear. A sign nailed to a tree reads: “RESPECT THE JUMPS, DO NOT WALK ON THEM.” Another sign from the District of 100 Mile House reads: “USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.” Countless hours of labour went into the park’s construction and $1,000 was raised privately to purchase insur-
ance for the year. Mayor Mitch Campsall congratulated and thanked Chamberlain and the youth in attendance, before reminding them any extra work or alterations to the park need to be cleared with council first. “It is a positive [thing] they’ve done,” Campsall said. “And the work they’ve done is pretty impressive, that’s for sure.” As for helping the youth with funding the park in the future, the mayor said “no” at this point in time. “If it’s something we’d get into, it would be something we’d have to get into with the Cariboo Regional District.” Hun City Mountain Bike Club member Steve Law has acted as a sort of intermediary between council and the bike park members. He was instrumental in getting the new bike park properly insured – under the Hun City Mountain Bike Club
– which was a long and difficult task because rules on bike park certification aren’t really clear cut, unless they’re built by a certified builder, he explained. “It seems if you have that you generally don’t have a problem. But ours was built by some kids essentially. That was part of the problem. Even though it’s very similar to what you see in bike parks, it wasn’t built by a recognized builder.” With the new development in Centennial Park, the Hun City Mountain Bike Club is no longer insuring the preexisting bike park near Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. The club doesn’t have the manpower or funds to maintain or regularly rebuild the park to keep riders interested, Law explained. He’d like to see the new, formally unauthorized park become the central location for bike enthusiasts in town.
It’s a more desirable location and the terrain is conducive to “doing some really cool stuff.” “They put a hell of a lot of work into it and it’s awesome. Now, I’d like to see it evolve into much more. It will be up to the kids. I’m perfectly willing to help communicate regularly with the District. “We need stuff like this for the community. I’m really happy with these guys.” Cindy Parent, a mother of one of the boys who frequents the park, also addressed council. “I am absolutely amazed at the dedication and hard work that these young men have done. My son has spent many hours up there doing something constructive, something positive.” A controlled burn of debris recently cleared at the park is scheduled for Nov. 5 with 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue personnel attending along with members of the bike park.

Due to the language barrier, the victims had nowhere to go.” Often, people are lured to Canada by traffickers on false pretenses, and when they arrive, their new realities do not match what they’ve been promised, Ramsay explains. “Yet, they are unable to leave or choose alternate employment as their passports and identification may have been taken away. These people may be misinformed and scared of disclosing they are not being fed, paid and clothed appropriately or given the choice to leave.” Noting South Cariboo residents may be wondering why they are seeing posters or information materials around their communities in languages that are not their own, she says the hope is to reach out to those who may need help getting back home or to safety. The most important aspect of the OCTIP training is participants learned that Canada is not immune to human trafficking, Ramsay adds. “Our youth, especially Aboriginal youth, are vulnerable. Guests in our country are mistreated and the crime is exceptionally complex.” Ramsay says participants also connected, shared respect and stories, and developed a network of South Cariboo residents who have each other’s backs. “We are all in this together and support one another to help educate our communities about human trafficking.”
Changes starting for OVR owners Ken Alexander Free Press
Starting Nov. 1, the B.C. Liberal government has made off-road vehicle (ORV) registration and safety provisions are mandatory on Crown land effective after passing regulations in the Off-Road Vehicle Act. It requires mandatory ORV regis-
tration, helmet use by all riders and restrictions on use by children under 16 years. Noting numerous ORV clubs have been asking for the changes, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she has been working on the changes for a long time and she is completely in favour of them. “A minor group of people in the
province are upset because they feel [mandatory registration] is a cash grab, but it’s not. It’s there so you register [ORVs] once and not every year. “You register once for $48 and you can get a licence plate or a sticker – that was an issue for owners of some motorbikes and snowmobiles because they wouldn’t fit on them, so now they can use a sticker instead.”
She explains the funds from the registration just cover the cost of the program, so it’s not a “cash grab, and I would be the first one to complain if it was.” The registration of ORVs was put in place to combat theft, Barnett says, adding the identification will be readily available for COs and the RCMP Continued on A5
The Cariboo Regional District board has endorsed a resolution in support of an application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) from the Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association. The $6,206 request for grant funding is from the NDIT’s Regional Development Account, under the Community Halls & Recreation Facilities program. The money will be used to purchase new chairs for the Lone Butte Community Hall, and to construct a storage shed that will house a ladder and other supplies. The current chairs at the hall are in poor condition and need replacement, so the hall can continue to host larger gatherings.
STREET CLOSURE APPROVED District of 100 Mile House council has approved the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House’s request to close off Birch Avenue from First to Fourth streets between 10 a.m. and noon annually on Nov. 11 for the annual Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony. Councillors also directed District Community Services staff to work with the Legion parade organizers to address all parade logistics and ensure public safety during the ceremony.

Students are joining other Canadian students in We Scare Hunger, and they will be “Trick or Treating” for food donations on Halloween evening, so please expect them at your door. There will also be collection bins at the school and around town for parents, students and community members to drop off donations.

Protest against laundry privatization
Thursday, October 29, 2015 100 Mile Free Press
Gaven Crites Free Press
Close to two dozen health-care workers rallied at the busy Highway 97 and First Street intersection in 100 Mile House on Oct. 27, protesting Interior Health Authority (IHA) plans to potentially privatize laundry services in the region. Up to 11 cities and towns throughout the Interior may lose their local hospital laundry, along with 175 in-house jobs, including four in 100 Mile House, should the privatization plans go ahead. Street-side demonstrations organized by the Hospital Employees Union (HEU) were also held in Kamloops, Kelowna, Nelson, and Penticton. No decision has been made yet in terms of the laundry service review, says IHA communications officer

Michaela Swan. “We had anticipated a decision by the end of summer, but we have extended that time and anticipate a final decision later this fall. We certainly understand the weight of the decision on our staff.” Barb Matfin, HEU 100 Mile House chair-
person, says the rally is intended to raise awareness in this community regarding the upcoming decision. “Here in 100 Mile, we have relatively new laundry equipment.... We’re quite modern; we’re fast; the girls work really hard. “Nothing touches you more than laundry
when you’re in a hospital. You want to make sure you have super clean laundry. These are local jobs, family-supporting jobs, Matfin adds. “Write your MLA, write the Minister of Health, write Interior Health, to let them know 100 Mile doesn’t approve of privatizing
our laundry.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she does not support laundry service privatization. “Sending laundry out of Williams Lake and 100 Mile House makes no common sense, and as far as economic sense, I have seen none.”
EventHostBC grant supported celebration
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett congratulated a key local not-for-profit organization that applied successfully for recent EventHostBC funding. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development approved $5,000 funding for the South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC) to help
broaden the District of 100 Mile House 50th Anniversary celebrations, which took place July 18-26. “Events like this help us celebrate our community pride, with the added benefit of attracting visitors and boosting the local economy,” says Barnett. “C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to this grant recipient and thank you to all the organizers and
volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to stage successful events.” SCCPC executive director Lea Smirfitt says the money was used to help bring some extra events to the District’s anniversary celebration. “Our role with the District was to be an event host. So we partnered with the District to bring some addition-

Credit unions facilitate training grants Registered Education Savings Plan holders may apply
Carole Rooney Free Press
The provincial government’s new $1,200 education and training grants are now available from credit unions around the province. Williams Lake and District Credit Union (WLDCU) financial service supervisor Shannon Nantel says the one-time grant is available for any child born in 2007 or later whose parents apply
for, or already have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) set up for them. They must apply for the grant within three years after the child turns six years old, up to or until the day before the child’s ninth birthday, she explains. Nantel adds no additional deposits or matching funds are required to be eligible for this grant, which is deposited to an RESP account upon approval of the application.
However, most RESPs have other applicable grants, some of which require parental funds to be deposited, she notes. Nantel says parents with more than one child should consider setting up a family RESP that requires all siblings listed as beneficiaries, providing the custodial parent(s) and beneficiaries are all British Columbia residents. The money can gather interest without taxation in an open RESP for up to 36 years, and can be used
by any beneficiary listed if the primary person does not use it for education funding. “That’s why, if you have [more than one child], it’s great to open a family RESP ... if after that time nobody uses it, you get your money back that you contributed, but all the grants go back [to government].” The WLDCU is contacting all its customers with RESPs about the opportunity, as it won’t happen automatically, she explains.
“If you are an RESP holder, you must come in and apply for the grant.” Nantel adds for setting up an RESP and/or applying for the education and training grant, no appointments are needed or accepted, so folks can walk into the branch and ask for assistance anytime. For more information on eligibility, call 1-888-276-3624 or visit the website www.gov.bc.ca/ BCTESG.

If lights are not installed by the manufacturer, temporary lights

For details on light standards, see section 24 of the OVR regulation. • Children must be supervised when riding on Crown land and be riding an appropriate sized ORV as recommended by the manufacturer. For details, see sections 16-18 of the OVR regulation. The ORV registration is integrated within
the pre-existing structure of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s (ICBC) motor vehicle registry. This will reduce implementation costs and allows ORV owners to register at any of the ICBC insurance brokers in the province. Owners who already secured an ORV number plate during voluntary registration can
– between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015 – bring their registration and metal plate to any ICBC broker and exchange their metal plate for a sticker for no charge. After Dec. 31, 2015, an $18 fee will apply to exchange a metal plate for a sticker or vice versa. Furthermore, snowmobile owners who have already registered their vehicles under the Motor
Vehicle (All Terrain) Act will be eligible for refund, up until Nov. 16, 2015, when they register under the ORV Act. The refund will be for the amount they had already paid – $5 for transfers and $10 for registration.

B.C. Liberals slapped for FOI responses
The B.C. Liberal government received a stinging rebuke from British Columbia’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham who identified major problems in the access to information practices of two government ministries and the Office of the Premier. The investigation report, which Denham released on Oct. 22, was called “Access Denied: Record Retention and Disposal Practices of the Government of British Columbia,” and it revealed problems between the actions of political staff in responding to access to information requests and the duty to
respond openly, accurately and completely to requests for records as mandated by section 6(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). “In the course of this investigation, we uncovered negligent searches for records, a failure to keep adequate email records, a failure to document searches, and the wilful destruction of records responding to an access request. Taken together, these practices threaten the integrity of access to information in British Columbia,” wrote Denham. The commissioner launched an investigation after Tim Duncan, a former executive
assistant in the Office of the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI), submitted a complaint on May 27, 2015 alleging destruction of records responsive to an access request about Highway 16/the Highway of Tears filed with the MoTI in November 2014. Duncan complained a fellow employee had wilfully and deliberately deleted records from his computer that were responding to an access to information request about the Highway of Tears, and the hearing got underway. Investigators requested monthly e-mail backups, seized and inspected computers, and reviewed mailbox
metadata and message tracking logs. The investigation determined Duncan’s records had more than likely been deliberately “triple deleted,” which has been denied. The matter has been referred to the RCMP for investigation of possible offences. Meanwhile the NDP Leader John Horgan jumped all over the news the B.C. Liberal government was condemned for the widespread practice of “triple deleting” e-mails so they can’t be stored in daily computer backups. On Oct. 26, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs demanded the B.C. Liberal govern-
ment implement all 11 of Denham’s recommendations in quick order. Premier Christy Clark has told her cabinet ministers and their political staff to keep every e-mail they send until new procedures are in place.

Mend your ways
T
he B.C. Liberal government just can’t seem to keep out of trouble as it continues to dig a deeper and wider hole under the leadership of Premier Christy Clark. She became BC Liberal Party leader on Feb. 26, 2011, after then premier Gordon Campbell fell on his sword when the party plunged to the bottom of the polls. Clark pulled her party from the ashes in the May 14, 2013 provincial election based on promises of jobs and financial security through the development and export of liquefied natural gas, which have been slow developing. The Clark government has been battling its way through problems – some small and large – from the outset of their mandate. Most recently, there have been back-to-back issues that have the Clark government on its heels, ducking and covering up like a beleaguered boxer as the New Democrats, led by John Horgan, have been pummelling it during Question Period in the Legislature and in the provincial and national media. Children & Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux came under fire last month after Alex Gervais, who was in government care, died after falling from the fourth floor of a Super 8 Motel in Abbotsford on Sept. 18. The NDP asked Cadieux to resign, calling it the latest of a series of crises, deaths and court rulings – all pointing to the provincial government’s inability to look after children in its care. Clark defended Cadieux, and said her government wouldn’t stop using hotels to house youth in emergency circumstances; however, she added it should be done as rarely as possible and for as short of a duration as possible. Obviously, the government has to patch the holes immediately. Last week, the Clark government got spanked by Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham for the way it handles requests for access to information. A hearing was held after a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure employee complained that a co-worker deleted several files he was working on a response to a request for information on Highway 16/ Highway of Tears. The co-worker denied the allocations; however, the matter has been forward to the RCMP to look into the matter. Denham noted her office staff found negligent searches for records, a failure to keep adequate email records, a failure to document searches, and the wilful destruction of records responding to an access request. “Taken together, these practices threaten the integrity of access to information in British Columbia,” she wrote. Like the former federal Conservative government, the B.C. Liberals are showing a penchant for doing whatever it wants and trying to hoodwink British Columbians. One wonders if the provincial government will suffer the same fate as the Tories, or if it will mend the way it governs.
FPAC sends message to Liberals
W
ith the federal election now behind us, the new Prime Minister can, and must, promote the economy and the environment in the first few weeks of his mandate. The foundation for both future economic stability and environmental sustainability will be laid for decades to come based on two significant global initiatives – the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. As the representative of an industry that supports 230,000 well-paid jobs across Canada, the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) fully understands that economic and environmental policies are inextricably linked and cannot be viewed in isolation. Giving legislative approval to the TPP will give our industry an historic opportunity to further improve access to rapidly growing markets in the Asia

Canada’s forest sector has also pledged to be carbon-neutral. At the same time, we are constantly developing new products for the growing bio-economy by extracting more value from each and every tree we harvest responsibly. FPAC wants to continue working in partnership with government to transform, innovate and produce ground-breaking products that will allow Canada’s forest sector to compete and be a global leader in the sustainable resource industry. Canada’s forest products industry has come a long way in recent years. As the world embraces more free trade as well as a low carbon economy, the forest sector has become well positioned to help our country reach both its environmental and goals – no industry in Canada is more committed to growing a greener tomorrow. David Lindsay is the president and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada.

Reader wants foolproof border security
To the editor: This is an open letter to Environment Minister Mary Polak. Thank you for your response to my letter this past summer. In your reply, you outlined what British Columbia is doing to protect us from an infestation of zebra and quagga mussels. None of this was new information, and all together, it is still not enough. You did recognize “there is still work to be done.” I couldn’t agree more.
With the expertise gained from a year of full-time research on this issue, I again urge you to act immediately and decisively. Last week, news broke out of Manitoba that after only two years, Lake Winnipeg is already seeing an infestation of epic proportions. In the words of University of Winnipeg professor Dr. Eva Pip, “The problem is irreversible and in fact it’s a catastrophe, it’s a disaster. It’s very sad because all we have to look forward to now in Lake
Columnist’s argument confusing To the editor: Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 10) Tom Fletcher’s latest confusing rant challenges your readers to be “competent” enough to plan for retirement. He suggests using RRSP savings accounts without government assistance, tenuously suggests nationally subsidized child care is a form of incompetency and then rather ominously asks us if we are “ready for the day when the machine stops.” One can only assume Mr. Fletcher somehow intends “the machine” metaphor to be a thinly-veiled reference to the federal government collapsing. If so, I urge caution: RRSP savings accounts are registered with the federal government. Should that particular “machine” fail, your registered retirement savings plan would be rendered worthless, as it would be “registered” with no one in particular. That spot under the mattress is beginning to look even more attractive as a place to plan for our retirements. Thanks for the advice, Mr. Fletcher. Max Rundle Wilkie Kelowna

Winnipeg is a complete and eventual collapse of our ecosystem.” This is not unexpected news, but still it is an urgent reminder of the danger that B.C. faces. In your letter, you spoke of a “perimeter defence” strategy to protect all of Western Canada and the Columbia Basin. The wisdom of this plan is clear, but it is still very far from completion. Saskatchewan is doing practically nothing. Alberta has mandatory inspec-
tions at its eastern border, but those inspections run during regular working hours. A real scenario still exists where a contaminated boat could cross through Alberta after the inspectors have gone home, slip past one of B.C.’s “roving” teams, and launch in our waters. Until such time as this perimeter defence is fully in place, you must have an unbroken wall at our border. Whether you are co-ordinating with other jurisdictions, a system
Canadians hold their collective breath To the editor: Some may see our country as a multicultural mosaic, but I prefer to think of Canada as a huge concert hall filled with some of the world’s finest musicians. Unfortunately, progressive instrumentalists have been ignored for a decade. To reach our potential Canada needs an inspirational leader with the courage, integrity, compassion, vision and wisdom to bring people together. When Justin Trudeau strides across the parliamentary stage and picks
up the baton of power, a hush of anticipation will silence the national audience. Canadians will hold their collective breath; each one expecting him to play their favourite tune. I wish him well, but if he does not exercise the necessary discipline to ensure his musicians are financially and ethically responsible, then all will be lost. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

of rendezvousing with potentially infested boats after they have entered B.C. is illogical and irresponsible. The only acceptable system for protecting our province is stopping and inspecting 100 per cent of boats before they enter our province. When can we expect to see that in place?

I cruise in my sailboat in the Philippines in winter, and I visit British Columbia every summer. I am proud to number Canadians among my friends.

he scandal of the week at the British Columbia legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.” Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government e-mails that the NDP Opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert. If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged coverups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week. What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway. What we have seen for decades is a

However, BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you, and Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of e-mails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

the province Cattle Rustlers lead to $10,000 reward VERNON - Rancher Jeremy Wasylyszyn and his family have launched a $10,000 reward for the arrest of the individuals who shot a cow and calf Tuesday near Cherryville. “This is $4,000 (for the cow and calf) so maybe $10,000 is an incentive to report them. We will see how good of friends he has,” said Wasylyszyn. “We drove by the cow and calf standing there in the morning and we came back about two to three hours later, and they were shot,” said Wasylyszyn. “They cut the identification tags off the ears but we found them in a brush pile.” Wasylyszyn is working with the RCMP and conservation officers as part of the investigation. “I’m sure somebody saw something,” said Wasylyszyn, adding that there’s a lot of logging in that area. Man bear-sprayed near homeless camp Abbotsford - Abbotsford videographer Kevin MacDonald was filming footage of the homeless camp on Gladys Avenue on Wednesday morning when he was bear-sprayed by an angry woman. MacDonald, had been hired by CTV News to film the site as part of their piece on the B.C. Supreme Court decision regarding overnight camping in parks. He had already interviewed one of the camp occupants for comments about the decision and was continuing to work when a woman, carrying a can of bear spray, came walking angrily towards him. “It’s against the law to take our picture …” she yells. MacDonald said as the woman came towards him, he “lightly pushed” her away with his hand, and she then released the bear spray on him. “I’ve never felt pain like that before in my life … It feels like your entire face is on fire,” MacDonald said later. Paramedics treated MacDonald on the scene, and the woman, Christina Violet Bentley, 39, was arrested and has been charged with assault with a weapon. “This was supposed to be a positive story,” he said of the ruling that, in part, sided with the homeless in permitting them to sleep overnight in parks in Abbotsford.

RCMP busy with calls and complaints
Police
report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 97 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls. Arrested on warrants On Oct. 27, 100 Mile House RCMP attended a residence in the 300 block of Horse Lake Road in an attempt to locate a male with several outstanding warrants for probation offence from the Kamloops area. Police subsequently located the male leaving in a vehicle. He was arrested for the warrants as well as for possession of a controlled substance and obstruction as he provided a false name to police. A male and female at the residence were also arrested for obstruction as they attempted to interfere with a police investigation. The male is currently in custody and is being held pending a bail hearing. The other two individuals were released on a promise to appear to attend court at a later date. Thieve apprehended On Oct. 26, RCMP attended a report of a theft from vehicle at a business located on Exeter Station Road. Numerous items had been taken from the vehicle. The female suspect was caught on surveillance and identified by police. Police located the female on Oct. 27
while she was driving an uninsured vehicle and she was arrested. Numerous items from the theft were located inside her vehicle. She is currently in custody and is awaiting a bail hearing.
Driver extricated On Oct. 25, RCMP attended a report of a motor vehicle incident on Wilcox Road. It was determined the small pick-up truck was travelling northbound on Wilcox Road and
drove into the other lane of traffic into the opposite ditch where it struck a tree. It is believed the lone occupant, a female had been trapped inside the vehicle for several hours. The female was
extricated by rescue personnel and sustained what are believed to be serious non-life-threatening injuries. The female was later flown to hospital in Kamloops for further treatment. The incident remains under investigation.

The economy and new development in 100 Mile House could potentially get a boost when a plan to implement a rural dividend comes about. British Columbia’s Rural Advisory Council (RAC) began looking at a framework for the dividend when it met in the spring, and this fall, it will look at where the funding could come from and how it might all pan out. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett chairs the council, giving the South Cariboo and the rest of her constituency a leading voice in highlighting rural concerns on the panel.

Helping deliver a gift of life
Gaven Crites Free Press
The number of British Columbians making a life-saving commitment is rising thanks to a new partnership between BC Transplant and Service BC. Since April, 62 Service BC centres throughout the province now provide a central location where residents can register and learn more about organ donation. In that time, close to 20,000 people, including at least 91 in 100 Mile House, have registered to become organ
donors. For helping make the program a success, Service BC agents Mike Schulz and April Kennedy were presented with a Community Leadership Award by Edna Humphreys, a regional director with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch, in 100 Mile House on Oct. 16. The majority of people in the province waiting for an organ transplant are in need of a kidney, Humphreys explains. “You guys have done an amazing job,”
Legal opinions need to be studied From A7
While she is accepting Denham’s recommendation, Clark says there are legal opinions about what documents are required to be destroyed and what needs to be saved. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who is also Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for Rural Development, says she has to respond to Freedom of Information requests, but it won’t change the way she does business because she’s not a “high tech” person. “My staff is but the only thing you delete is your mail boxes when they get full of phone messages....

Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch regional director Edna Humphreys, middle, presented local Service BC agents Mike Schulz and April Kennedy with a Community Leadership Award in 100 Mile House on Oct. 16. Service BC centres throughout the province are making it easier for British Columbians to become organ donors.
she told Schulz and Kennedy. “You have no idea what hope your numbers give to all the people [more than 500 in B.C.] waiting for a life-saving organ. Over 400 of those are waiting for kidneys. We really want to express our thanks by giving this Community Leadership Award.” Service BC executive Jon Burbee says the increase of subscribers, both locally and across the province, is “huge.” “It’s 15 per cent more than the last five years put together. Ninetyone [registrations] in a community of this size really makes a difference. The people that are waiting [for transplants] are people’s kids, loved ones and neighbours.” According to a government news release, more than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ dona-
tion, but as of last spring, only 20 per cent were registered to be a donor. “Registering as a donor is a simple, small step anyone can do to save the life of a person or family in need,” says Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Amrik Virk. “Many people who come into our offices have a decal on their driver’s licence and think they’re registered; however, people need to be registered with BC Transplant to offer this life-giving gift and our staff can help you do that.” For more information, visit www. transplant.bc.ca.

Diana Forster 250 593-2155
Nearly 80 guests enjoyed the Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) Ladies Auxiliary’s (LA) Fall Dinner Dance, Oct. 17. Brian Nixdorf was the lucky winner of the silver squirrel nutcracker door prize. Firefighters from Deka, Interlakes and Sulphurous were amongst the attendees. Applause went to Pat and Tom Nash on their 40th wedding anniversary that day; and to Sharon and Jim Chislett for their 55th, Oct. 12. With the help of 10-year-old Brayden Boyce, LA president Louise Green drew for raffle prizes, all of
which were donated. The winners were as follows: quilt, from the LA, was won by Jim Horton of Interlakes; afghan, from Debbie Patterson, Julie Wiebe, Abbotsford; wine bottle holder from Mario Huebel and placemats (LA), Linda Kinnear, Bridge Lake; Crib board from Gary Sayenchuk, Sandy Dean, Williams Lake; moose birdhouse from Al Ballantyne, Gina Hill, Maple Ridge; and emergency ladder and fire extinguisher from the LA, Janet Erskine, Deka.

Family event promises lots of spooky fun Barbara Roden Free Press
There’ll be plenty of spooky fun for children of all ages at this year’s Hysterical Halloween event at the 108 Heritage Site from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31. The grad class from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) will once again be setting up their haunted barn, which this year has a “Carnival Freak Show” theme. “There’ll be a few freaky clowns and characters there,” says Parent Grad Committee chair Holly Johnson. She adds the haunted barn – a major fund-
raiser for the grad class – is probably suitable for children aged 10 and older, depending on the child and parents’ discretion, but there will also be another display for the younger children. Johnson says it will feature games, treats, cotton candy, and (weather permitting) a bouncy castle. The 100 Mile & District Historical Society is providing hotdogs and hot apple cider, and the grads will have coffee and cookies available. Other family friendly fun includes a huge bonfire provided by the 108 Mile Lions Club, and a fireworks display
at 8 p.m. provided by the 100 Mile & District Historical Society. Both these events will be overseen by members of the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department. “Six firefighters will be there, along with the engine and rescue truck, to watch the bonfire and make sure it’s safely put out,” says 108 Mile fire chief Marcelle Ried. The firefighters will also be lighting the fireworks and making sure there’s no fire, as well as providing traffic control to help with parking. It’s the first year that fireworks have been Continued on A17

Q: Is there a new ATV registration system?
A: Yes. The Ministry of Forests, Lands & Resource Operations (FLNRO) has launched a new registration system for off-road vehicles (ORV). ORV registration with number plate display will be mandatory on Crown land, including resource roads on Crown land, as of Nov. 1, 2015. OVRs that will be operated in limited circumstances on a highway have been required to obtain registration, a plate, a licence and insurance since Nov. 17, 2014. ORVs operated solely on private property do not require registration or a number plate. An off-road vehicle is designed for off-highway use and does not meet safety standards for on-highway use. The following are the eligible ORV vehicle types: Golf carts • Snow vehicles • Snowmobiles • All-terrain vehicles (ATV) • Trucksters • Side-by-sides • and Restricted use motorcycles (RUMs) Contact your Autoplan broker for more information on the requirements for registering, displaying a number plate, licensing and insuring an ORV.

BELOW THE BELT SUPPORT GROUP IS HERE TO LISTEN
Q: I drove a neighbour to the doctor. On the way, we had an accident. It was all my fault and I want to apologize - but I’m afraid that if I apologize, the insurance company won’t cover the neighbour’s injuries or pay to repair my car. What should I do? A: Brenda Lee (circa 1960): “I’m sorry. So sorry!” Those who have never heard the song are forgiven.
Traditionally, lawyers advise clients not to make admissions of liability. In fact, traditionally, admissions of liability have led insurers to deny coverage. Flying in the face of that tradition, in 2006, British Columbia enacted the Apology Act. This legislation provides (s. 2(1)) that “an apology made by or on behalf of a person in connection with any matter (a) does not constitute an … admission of fault or liability [and] (c) does not … void, impair or otherwise affect any insurance coverage that is available ….” As a result of this legislation, you can apologize for your wrongful acts - but be careful! You can apologize with impunity - but if your apology includes facts harmful to your case, then the Court can rely on those admissions in reaching a decision in a claim brought against you. For example, in the Alberta Queens Bench case of Robinson v Cragg ([2010] AJ No. 1395), a lawyer apologized to a client saying “our registration of the Discharges was through inadvertence and I apologize for doing so.” The court admitted into evidence the letter containing that admission - but struck those words out of the letter. On the other hand, in another sentence the lawyer indicated that “…. it only came to my attention that we have mistakenly filed Discharges of Mr. Robinson’s security when I received an e-mail … in late February ….” The court allowed that sentence to remain in the letter except for the word “mistakenly” which was redacted. The moral of the story: apologies are permissible - but must be worded carefully. If tempted to make an apology for something you did wrong, you should probably seek legal advice.

Q: Will the recent changes to Old Age Security affect me?
A: People currently receiving OAS benefits will not be
affected by the changes. In fact, everyone 54 or older as of March 31, 2012 (born before April 1, 1958) will not be affected by the change to the age of eligibility for the OAS or GIS benefits. If you were born between April 1958 and January 1962 your age of eligibility gradually increases from age 65 to age 67. If you were born after January 1962 your age of eligibility is 67. The Government of Canada also introduced measures to gradually increase the ages at which the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor are provided, from 6064 today to 62-66. The 2012 budget also introduced a voluntary deferral of the Old Age Security (OAS) pension that will give people the option to defer take-up of their OAS pension by up to five years past the age of eligibility, and subsequently receive a higher, actuarially adjusted pension. All information provided is collected with care, and we are not responsible for any omissions or errors.
Q. A.
Is a Variable-Rate mortgage for you?
With a variable-rate mortgage, your mortgage rate will move in conjunction with your lender’s Prime lending rate, which in turn tracks the Banks of Canada’s benchmark rate, and will typically be quoted as Prime minus a specified percentage. With another recent announcement of no benchmark rate change with the Bank of Canada, speculation is that the Bank of Canada will keep this trend throughout 2016. However, we can’t predict what kind of rate ups and downs might be ahead. The variable-rate mortgage is best suited to people who have a flexible budget and can tolerate sudden higher risk. Ask yourself these questions: Do you watch market conditions? Can you handle any sudden rate increases that could increase your payment? Most variables allow you to exercise an option to “lock in” the current fixed rate at any time for the remaining portion of your mortgage term or longer. Another benefit of having a variablerate mortgage is that most lenders will only charge a 3 month interest penalty when you break your term. Lower-rate variable mortgages with a strong Prime minus offer give you the potential to save on interest. Contact me with any questions!

Barnett says she, personally, “would buy into something like that.” “We feel that would be a real avenue to help small communities [like 100 Mile House] to help themselves; invest in your own community. But, there would have to be legislative change for that.” Instead of investing in a registered savings plan (RSP) with mutual funds, Barnett says some rural folks on the East Coast put their money into a venture capital corporation offering similar income tax shelters. “People in the community own the entity. They don’t manage it, but they have investment in it, so they make sure it is successful. “We have to get innovative and creative because the world is financially shrinking.”

Key It Up! closing in on grand piano 100 Mile Festival of the Arts members reached a milestone at the end of September when they raised $20,000 toward the purchase of a concert grand piano for use in musical performances and the annual Festival of the Arts in Martin Exeter Hall. After renting a piano from Kamloops for the annual Festival of the Arts, which is held for two weeks every April, the Festival of the Arts committee launched its project, called Key It Up!, early in 2015. The piano they had used for years was nearing the end of its life and it was difficult, if not impossible, to tune properly, so performers would get the good, quality sound they needed in concerts and

The Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School boys soccer team is hosting the North Central Zones in 100 Mile House, Oct. 30-31. The regional high school championships are something the resurrected 100 Mile squad has been building toward this season.
Zones kick off in 100 Mile PSO boys taking field against Prince George schools
The ball gets rolling tomorrow for the North Central Zones in 100 Mile House, a soccer showdown between Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School and three Prince George schools for a spot at provincials. The regional high school senior boys soccer championships are something the resurrected 100 Mile squad has been building toward this season. They've had mixed success against Williams Lake and Kamloops teams in the weeks leading up to zones. The action starts on Oct. 30. All games are being played at the PSO bottom field. Game 1 pits PSO against D.P. Todd Secondary School at noon.
Game 2 is top-seeded Duchess Park Secondary School against PSO at 2:30 p.m. Game 3, at 4:45 p.m., will see D.P. Todd Secondary School and Duchess Park Secondary school. On Oct. 31, the gold medal game between first and second place is 10 a.m., followed by an awards presentation. The boys wrapped up the exhibition season with three games in Kamloops, Oct. 16-17. They lost all three, but the last game was easily the team's best performance of the season, says coach Sean Glanville. “PSO actually took the lead about 10 minutes in on a goal from Patrick Walker, set up by team captain Reid Davidson. The boys were really pumped
to score a goal and they defended bravely and actually held a 1-0 lead at the half. In the second half, they were more than competitive, but Valleyview Secondary School scored on a penalty shot and got the winner on an errant cross that somehow landed in the net.” Glanville says he knew the Kamloops teams were a couple levels ahead of 100 Mile when he booked the games, but playing those better teams helped them improve. “Throughout these three games we gained a lot of experience. It was a huge help as we prepare for Zones. I worried the kids might get a little down from fishing the ball out of their own net so much, but they all kept positive and enthusiastic.”
Atoms host Super League Weekend A local atom house league team sponsored by the 100 Mile House Free Press split four games in a Recreational Super League Weekend it hosted at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Oct. 17-18. In Game 1, 100 Mile House beat Williams Lake 4-2. Daniel Villeneuve, Cameron Scott, Elias Moore and Carson Huryn scored goals. Quesnel beat 100 Mile 10-3 in the local team's second game. Villeneuve, Scott and Lucas Zucchelli got on

the board. In Game 3, 100 Mile won 10-7 over Williams Lake. Moore, Scott (2), Villeneuve (3), Zucchelli, Carson Huryn and Vanessa Betchart (2) scored. Zucchelli, Villeneuve, Cody Plewes, Kurtis Porter and Moore made assists. 100 Mile played its fourth game against Quesnel, losing 7-3. Moore, Zucchelli and Huryn found the back of the net. Max Kolmakoff and Moore assisted on Zucchelli's goal.
It's time to get geared up for the upcoming cross country ski season. Folks can drop off gear they no longer use or pick up items they need at a ski swap hosted by the 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society on Nov. 15. The annual ski swap and open house event is taking place at the Nordics Day Lodge on 99 Mile Hill. “Let's have some fun and get excited about the upcoming ski season,” says club spokesperson Birgit Bienek.
ATOM HOCKEY The atom development Wranglers, sponsored by Bridge Lake Electric, played three tough games against Prince George and Quesnel last weekend. Gibson Fast, with assists from Braiden Beharrell and Devon Wisdom, scored in Game 1 against Prince George. Matthew Keller made a great goaltending debut in Game 2, a 8-5 loss against Quesnel. Trey Pacheco scored a hat trick and Daniel Villeneuve added two. Riley Campbell made two assists. Villeneuve added a goal against Quesnel in the final game.
Harlem Crowns The Harlem Crowns are bringing their entertaining brand of basketball to Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School on Nov. 2, tipping off against students at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit the athletics programs at PSO. Advanced tickets are $6 for students and $9 for adults and can be purchased at the PSO office. Admission at the door is $10. Children six and under are free.

Pickleball gets $1,500 boost
Fun, fastgrowing game played twice a week in 100 Mile House
New paddles, balls, and nets should help expand the already fast-growing pickleball program in 100 Mile House. Canlan Ice Sports was awarded a $1,500 grant from ViaSport's Local Sport Development Fund and used it recently to help out this popular local game and its dedicated players with the donation of new equipment. Pickleball is a growing sport among seniors; it's a low-impact, but fast-paced game that is quick to learn. The game is played on a badminton-sized court with rules similar to tennis with a few modifications. “Pickleball is an excellent sport for anyone who wants to work on, or show off, their handeye coordination skills, get moving indoors with the cooler weather, and do a little socializing,” says Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye, the community programs and events coordinator with Canlan Ice Sports. “New players are always welcome and no experience is necessary.” Court times in

A rested lineup, good goaltending and a strong penalty kill helped the 100 Mile House Wranglers take four of a possible six points on a three game road trip and sole possession of second place in the Doug Birks Division. The local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club capped off the trip with a decisive 4-1 win over division rival Kamloops Storm on Oct. 25. The Wranglers lost 5-2 in Kimberley on Oct. 24 and beat Golden 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 23. Even in the loss to the Dynamiters, the league's best right now with 28 points, there were some positives to take away, says Wranglers coach Dale Hladun. Kimberley is by far the strongest team they've faced, he says, and they're double tough on their own Olympic-size rink. The Wranglers though for the most part stifled their usually dynamite power play, allowing only one goal on seven attempts. “Their power play [scoring percentage] at home was 44 per cent,” Hladun explains. “They scored on a 5-3, but overall I was happy [keeping them at 14 per cent].” Against Kamloops, the team's third game in three days, Hladun says he was nervous, not sure how the boys would start. The Wranglers tend to start slow, he says, but not this afternoon. “We had one of our best periods right out of the gate. The guys

were hungry to beat Kamloops, hungry to go.” Zane Steeves turned away 44 shots, according to the scoresheet, which Hladun disputes. “I thought they must have counted shots in warm up, because they did not [have that many] I don't feel.” The coach made some healthy scratches in the first and second games, which went a long way in ensuing a healthier lineup against Kamloops. “I think it was a good thing. Otherwise you're whipping your horses all weekend. Guys played, they played
good minutes, but they weren't so worn down.” “Full kudos to the kids,” he adds. “That was a huge weekend.” The Wranglers host Kootenay Conference clubs Creston Valley Thundercats on Oct. 30 and Fernie Ghostriders on Oct. 31. “It's a good weekend for fans to come out; these are two good teams.” Cole Zimmerman, Brady Ward and Tyler Povelofskie (2) scored in the 4-1 win over Kamloops.

I heard your voice in the wind today and I turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me as I stood silently in place. I felt your touch in the sun today as its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace and my spirit soared high. I saw your eyes in the window pane as I watched the falling rain; It seemed as each raindrop fell it quietly said your name. I held you close in my heart today it made me feel complete; You may have died ...but you are not gone you will always be a part of me. As long as the sun shines... the wind blows... the rain falls... You will live on inside of me forever for that is all my heart knows.

Nov. 6, 1949 to Oct. 18, 2015
The Family of John is saddened to announce his sudden passing October 18th, 2015. John had been suffering a multitude of health concerns over the last years of his life. John was born in Grootegast, Holland. Along with his parents and sisters, he came to Canada when he was a year old. John did many things in his life. He was one of the youngest cattle haulers in BC, Broke horses, had car lots, restaurants and a store. He loved to collect vehicles and drove truck. In the early 1980’s, John retired due to physical disabilities. He still managed, though, to keep himself busy with these things he could do. He loved to collect anything and everything; loved making our home a home; loved spoiling our son, Harley, which is our puppy. John is survived by his wife Charmaine and stepchildren Tera McDaniel and Jason (Krystal) McDaniel and grandsons Scotty and Aiden. Survived by his children Lisa (Art) Kahn and grandsons Kyle and Joey, John VanDerMolen and grandsons John Jr, Jayden and Ashton, Jennifer Villeneff, Hope (Ben) Chollete and grandsons Jack and Andrew. Survived by sister Lucy (Edward) Vandooyeweert and nephews Ellery and Troy. Predeceased by his parents Line and John VanDerMolen, and sister Jane Pollard, survived by her son Cameron (Angela) Pollard and great nephews MacKenzie and Theo and great niece Ashely. John also had a loving step family. Step Mother Rita VanderMolen and her children Jody (Kevin) Conroy, John (Lori) Vanderwoerd, Bill Vanderwoerd, and Harry Vanderwoerd. They will miss him dearly. John loved all his friends and family deeply and he will be missed by all. Loved his wife, Char, to the moon and back. “Darling may you truly be at peace now. I love you forever. ‘Til we meet again.” A celebration of life will be held at a later date. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Pollard, Verna It is with heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Verna Mae Pollard, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, on October 5, 2015 at the age of 80. Surrounded by her family, Verna left this world peacefully. Verna is survived by her children; Beverly French (Les), Michael Pollard (Joyce), Gary Pollard, and Bill Pollard (Jennifer). Also left to grieve are her 9 grandchildren; Alison, Doug, Michael, Bobbi-Jo, Tom, Nick, Brittany, Kristy and Luke plus l2 great-grandchildren and 2 more on the way. Numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, sisters in-law, brothers in-law and many, many friends mourn her loss as well. Verna was predeceased by her husband, Bruce, the love of her life, in February of 2014. Verna was born in Alexis Creek and raised there by her parents, Doris and Gus Jakel. Married in 1956, Verna and Bruce ranched in the Clinton area for many years while raising 4 children and making friends while volunteering in many capacities. The Clinton 4-H Club was one of Verna’s favorite groups. During her busy life, Verna also became a marriage commissioner which gave her many beautiful and unique experiences. Family always came first to Verna and she was affectionately called “Nan” by all 3 generations. In her spare time, Verna enjoyed knitting, crocheting and quilting. She was also famous for her home-cooked meals where no one left hungry. Verna’s natural instinct was to care for others, not just family. This is something she selflessly did and gave her such pleasure right up until her last days. At this sad time, we would like to thank everyone for the cards, letters, love and support. There will be a Reception Tea at the Clinton Hall on May 14, 2016 and everyone is more than welcome. Donations may be made to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Verna’s memory.

Reconstruction offers solid foundation for successful season
100 Mile House & Area
CHURCH SERVICES Come Worship With Us
Record attendance at Barkerville Historic Town & Park this season
In early 2015, Barkerville’s Eldorado Gold Panning & Gifts underwent successful foundation and structural repairs, preserving the character of the original 1930s building as per the official Standards & Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. The Barkerville Heritage Trust thanks Algonquin Contracting, as well as the Eldorado’s licence holders and staff for excellent work and co-operation during the project. On Sept. 26, a reconstruction of the 1934 Barkerville School (which burned to the ground in 1946) was officially opened, after four years of extensive planning and construction, and is now available for activities and programming. A number of partners contributed to the Barkerville School project, including the province of British Columbia, Barkerville Historic Town & Park staff, C & C Wood Products of Quesnel, the College of New Caledonia, the Friends of Barkerville, Paul Galliazzo and Stephanie Waring, the Rotary Club of Quesnel, the Royal Bank of Canada, TELUS, West Fraser Mills, Willis Harper Home Hardware and others. After 20 years of research and planning, an authentic replica of Billy Barker’s Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House was officially opened,
complete with fully-operational windlass and sluice box displays and bench seating for interpretive programming on Sept. 26. Contributing partners to the Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House include Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia, HGTV’s Timber Kings, John and Hazel Massie, Barkerville Historic Town & Park staff, Dave Brown Enterprises, the Friends of Barkerville and others. The 2015 Barkerville season resulted in a recent-history attendance record of 60,371 visitors between May 15 and Sept. 27. This is the first year since 2010 Barkerville has exceeded 60,000 guests. A variety of factors impacted attendance, including a number of recent improvements to the town and park, amplified earned-media and marketing strategies, and increased overall provincial tourism numbers. “The Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House reconstruction will be a remarkable legacy for visitors to Barkerville for generations to come. We cannot thank the team from Pioneer Log Homes and HGTV’s Timber Kings enough for providing us with this lasting opportunity, and look forward to seeing the lasting results – both on site, and on film,” says Ed Coleman, chief executive officer of Barkerville Historic Town & Park.

WLGLCA forced to cancel Christmas party due to lack of volunteers

Gisele Poliseno gisele.poliseno@gmail.com
On Oct. 14, the Watch Lake Green Lake Community A s s o c i a t i o n (WLGLCA) had its monthly meeting with 10 members attending. After much discussion, it was decided – with eight in favour – to cancel the Christmas Party due to lack of volunteers and
interest. Last month in this column, the association asked our community to help volunteer for upcoming events. The WLGLCA received only a couple of calls, including one came from outside our area, to help out. It is sad that our community does not care about the events the association puts on, as well as spending a couple of hours of their time to help create a fun evening that normally dozens of residents attend. The WLGLCA members hope that in the future, our residents can help Continued on B6

Chimney Inspections should be scheduled once a year. To be sure that all of your systems are in working order and operating as they should, it is recommended that homeowners get an annual chimney inspection. Most homeowners opt to have a Chimney Cleaning done every year as well, especially if they use their fireplace on a regular basis.

Why should I get my chimney cleaned? The job of the chimney sweep is to remove soot, blockages and built-up creosote from your chimney liner, firebox, smoke chamber and damper. This cleaning will help create a safer operation of your system during the heating system. It takes only a small accumulation of creosote glazing to create the potential for a chimney fire. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that builds up inside your chimney or liner as a result of burning wood. The rate of accumulation can be higher if you practice poor burning practices or have a burning appliance or stove that is not working well. Different types of wood create different amounts of creosote when burned. Pine causes a rapid build-up of creosote and should be avoided as a regular source of wood. Creosote can also reduce the draw of the fireplace and reduce

Fall is here. It’s now officially sweater weather! Our love (or not) for Fall and Winter means that we might become reclusive in our homes in an attempt to hibernate until the frost disappears. As the weather changes, so do our activities. As we celebrate the Year of Sport, we are reminded how many outdoor activities there are that remain equally as fun when you play them indoors! Basketball, soccer, badminton, volleyball, floor hockey can all be played indoors. You can sign up for many of these sports as an individual or a team! Not into group sports? Try Tai chi, yoga, Polynesian or belly dancing or darts and cards. There are many local groups that offer great activities from sports to movement arts, fine arts and social clubs. There’s lots to do locally to keep you active this Fall and Winter.

Have A Fun-Filled And SAFE Halloween This Saturday, Oct. 31st
SAFETY TIPS • Parents or guardians are recommended to accompany their children when they go door-to-door. • Youths should stay together in a group. • Light-coloured clothing is encouraged; however, if dark clothes are worn, it is recommended children and youth have at least one flashlight. • If a child wears a mask over the face, ensure it doesn’t obstruct the vision of the child. • Before children eat their treats, the food should be inspected by a parent or responsible adult. • If a candy wrapper or treat appears suspicious, have an adult check it out. • When going door-to-door, children shouldn’t walk over the owner’s lawn or shrubs, instead use the driveway/sidewalk. • Homeowners should put on exterior lights in the front entrance for the safety of the children. FIRE SAFETY TIPS • Purchase Halloween costumes that are flame resistant. Avoid costumes with long trailing pieces that may easily ignite. When constructing a costume for children, always keep fire safety in mind. • Children should not carry candles as a light source or as part of a costume. Rather, provide your child with a flashlight.
• Educate children to stay clear of open flames, and other heat sources. Ensure that children know how to perform the STOP, DROP and ROLL method should their clothes catch fire. (Stop immediately, DROP to the ground, and ROLL over and over to extinguish the flames.) • Avoid decorating with candles or torch lights. • Ensure that combustible Halloween decorations such as crepe paper, cornstalks, and dried flowers are kept well away from sources of heat. Keep all exits clear of decorating material. • Purchase and install working smoke alarms and practice home escape plans. Ensure that all children in your home know the locations of all exits. PROTECT YOUR PETS • Keep excitable pets in a quiet room away from the door out of hearing range of the doorbell. • Candy and treats should be kept out of a pet’s reach. Chocolate can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances and even death. • Taffy apples and suckers may be harmless, but a swallowed stick can easily cause an obstruction or perforate the stomach or bowels. • Dispose of treats that are rotten or of poor quality. If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate, consult a veterinarian immediately. • Cats have much different eating habits and seldom are poisoned by chocolate.
